Algos In Charge
Looks like the WOPRs have the run of the place today ahead of the BLSBS tomorrow. Let's see...what else can we talk about?
Well, we should start with the metals, of course. There doesn't seem to be much happening today as most participants (with actual human intelligence) have learned to be wary ahead of the monthly BLSBS. This leaves price to the machinations of the machines and we're left with a tightly rangebound but volatile market. The 200-day MA in the Apr13 is right below $1670 and the 50-day in the Mar13 silver is at $31.90. Expect the trade to center around and bounce off of these levels for most of the day. Any sustained dip/raid that suddenly drops price toward $1660 and/or $31.60 would present a pretty good trading opportunity as London physical demand remains very robust and those levels would bring a lot of buying. This, in turn, would cause The Cartel banks to buy futures to hedge and the paper market would/should recover. Be vigilant and patient.
How about crude? It's down today with most everything else in spite of the flare-up in tensions vis-a-vis Israel/Syria/Hezbollah/Iran. See this: http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=301670 and this: http://www.debka.com/article/22724/Russia-slams-Israeli-attack-on-Syria-US-forces-in-Jordan-on-alert. Price has reached and exceeded our long-standing target of $98. Even with the "tensions", I'd still be looking to ring the register a bit here and wait for a pullback. Below are two charts I posted into the comments of yesterday's thread.
OK, how about some reading material?
Our good pal, Trader Dan, was all over the web yesterday and you'll definitely want to read both of these. First, there's this terrific piece on his own site where he discusses the long-forgotten (it seems) Euro-Yen cross. http://www.traderdannorcini.blogspot.com/2013/01/euro-yen-cross-continues-streaking.html And then he showed up over at KWN where Eric has inked him to exclusive analysis. This is a very good read, too. http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2013/1/30_Norcini_-_Silver_Now_Very_Close_To_A_Major_Short_Squeeze.html
Another friend of Turdvile is The Crazy Canuck, Jeff Nielson. Here Jeff discusses the prospects for "global growth" in 2013. http://www.bullionbullscanada.com/intl-commentary/26053-the-2013-economic-reality-check
Alasdair Macleod has been writing some fantastic stuff lately at the GoldMoney website. Seems like 2 or 3 times per week. Keep an eye on that site or you might miss something, like I nearly missed this: http://www.goldmoney.com/gold-research/alasdair-macleod/bank-of-england-gold-the-doubts-remain.html
Here's a link that somebody sent me by email. I haven't had the chance to fully review the site yet but it looks interesting. Maybe some industrious Turdite (with some time on his/her hands) could peruse the site and see if it is something valuable. http://about.ag/slv/
More and more talk about the renminbi/yuan becoming a/the new world reserve currency. As you know, I am convinced of this eventuality...I'm just not convinced of the timing. So, I try very hard to not paint myself into a corner regarding it. However, I can't help but get the felling that this is looking more likely sooner than later. Maybe as soon as the next 1-3 years? Maybe? Just keep watching these stories and collecting these links. All of the signs are there. http://www.wantchinatimes.com/news-subclass-cnt.aspx?id=20130118000075&cid=1102
And fresh off of his overexposure at CNBS yesterday, Squeaky is out with a new missive this morning. I'd suggest you read the entire thing and you can find it here: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-01-31/bill-gross-credit-supernova. To save you time, however, here's a C&P of his conclusions:
Speed Read for Credit Supernova
1) Why is our credit market running out of heat or fuel?
a) As it expands at a rate of trillions per year, real growth in the economy has failed to respond. More credit goes to pay interest than future investment.
b) Zero-based interest rates, which are the result of QE and credit creation, have negative as well as positive effects. Historic business models may be negatively affected and investment spending may be dampened.
c) Look to the Japanese historical example.
2) What options should an investor consider?
a) Seek inflation protection in credit market assets/ shorten durations.
b) Increase real assets/commodities/stable cash flow equities at the margin.
c) Accept lower future returns in portfolio planning.

As I go to close, I see that a headline of a Chicago PMI beat has caused the algos to pound the metals lower. Let's see...outright QE∞ and a negative Q4 GDP were only good for $13 yesterday. A "surprising" Chicago PMI rips it all back out. What a freaking joke. Just btfd.

Top Ten?
Am I in the top ten? This has never happened before. Must be my lucky day!
(Top Ten?) So...
…I no longer try to convince people that a collapse is coming (don't do any good) but I did (use) to post articles regarding the current situation up on facebook. Out of around 1000 "friends" I had about 5 people that consistently liked and commented on my statuses. We are all on the same page and always had very insightful conversations regarding what is about to happen, how to protect ourselves and how to fix the problem. Everyone else never said a damn thing and just sat on the side lines. The only people who engaged were the ones who cared. We had these conversations for months and they were truly fantastic, it made me really happy to know that not everyone outside of turdville is a complete and utter dumbass.
So yesterday, I did the usual and posted something up that I thought was interesting. My usual handful of awake people liked it and we briefly started a discussion. Suddenly, ONE person commented something along the lines of "what does you bitching about the problem over facebook accomplish? All your post are fucking annoying and do nothing but make the problem sound messier than it actually is, stop littering my news feed with this shit"
The second after that comment appeared, literally within ten minutes, over ten other people joined in on the bashing and commented with similar things such as "your fucking annoying" "Nobody cares about this shit" "I am deleting you because…." "you just sound like a dumbass" etc. etc. Seeing this made me feel like I do now regarding the government, everyone is pissed and just waiting for the first shot to be fired. Once it is fired, everyone else joins in…this comment is a perfect example.
So upon reading these comments, I decided to first and foremost do a "facebook friends cleanse" in which I deleted every single person that I do not give two shits about, who do not give two shits about me, and those who refuse to open their minds to other possibilities other than what they want to hear. After that, I decided that I am no longer going to post ANYTHING regarding the situation outside of Turdville, even just articles. My handful of awake people know what is going on and I guess in a nutshell they don't need to keep hearing it from me. They will do just fine and everyone else can go fuck themselves. Wish granted, no more rants from me but when the shit hits the fan, you're going to have a Glock in your face if you come crying and running to me for help. I tried helping and you shot me down because what I was saying you didn't want to hear, so in the near (disastrous) future if they need help then they can ask my 9mm who will then act as the ultimate judge.
So sad it has come to this, the majority really don't care about this country anymore…
Woohoo top ten
Shenanigans in Houston ...
Squeaky Squawky has new missive ...
Looks like it's time to throw in the towel and yank the 41K and close all paper positions. Wasn't working all that well anyway.
"Houstonians", OK, I'll remember that. Did you know "Austinite" is a phase in the iron alloy diagram. Some metallurgist's name, I guess.
OTOH, Bitcoin just regained the $20 handle. I wonder how long until it passes Ag?

And my new "Slave Queen":
Ordered some Freedom Girls yesterday. Wish I'd purchased the first two medallions when I had the chance, they're carrying a hefty premium on eBay now.
Honduras is having a government collapse because they are broke. Sounds a lot like what is coming to the USA.
I don't believe this silver shortsqueeze anymore. I'm waiting for almost two years now.
I have had it with all those stories about massive shortages etc..this is all hoping and smells like gambling...
I am going to sell all my pm positions and physical. With normal stocks there is more money to earn with less risk. Don't fight a war you can't win.
Re: Facebook
baba....a better facebook cleanse (this is what I did) is to delete your account.
edit: that's right curly, keep your savings in frns in a nice safe ira account.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.
You don't understand this game and never will.
Have fun in CD's, and T-bills, which is totally not gambling.
One more weak hand gone.....many more left.

Rush To Safety: Americans Buy Nearly Half a Billion Dollars Of Gold and Silver In January
Mac Slavo
January 30th, 2013
While public officials may be ignoring the continued deterioration of our economy, job losses to the tune of hundreds of thousands of people weekly, and the unprecedented demand for government emergency support services like unemployment insurance and food assistance, Americans who sense uncertainty in the air are flocking to the safety of physical resources.
Our first point of interest is a recent report from the Federal Reserve that indicates some $114 billion dollars in cash was withdrawn from the nation's largest banks in the last thirty days. Those holding their money at bailed out financial institutions are understandably concerned because the government's $250,000 deposit insurance guarantee program, originally implemented to restore confidence in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, expired at the end of 2012. That and the US fiscal situation has never been worse, with one Obama official recently having said the solution to the country's woes is to simply kill the dollar.
This suggests investors and cash savers are no longer confident in the purported safety of the country's "too-big-to-fail" institutions.
The next obvious question then is, "where did this money go?"
Part of the mystery may have been unraveled when the US Mint released its latest sales and inventory report.
According to the mint, investors purchased nearly half a billion dollars in gold and silver in the last 30 days. There was, in fact, so much money shifting into physical precious metals in January that the mint was actually forced to cease operations because they couldn't meet demand.

270 Million year old Turd- Happy Birthday!
Check out this beautiful, red and black, 270 million-year-old fossil. It's a shark turd. No, seriously, it's fossilized shark poop. I wonder how you go about finding fossilized shark fecal matter. Even though the fossil is 270 million years old, do you need use hand sanitizer after touching it?
Sorry about the this post but it is just too good to pass. On a day that algos run the show, time for some diversion. Junior JPMorgan ancestors found inside!
Scram and good riddance. Hopefully you will be holding all these over inflated dow garbage when they all tank! You and your family will hate you when silver hits a $100 and the market is crashing. But we need weak hands like you to sell.
Not an irrational position, if you believed the shortage stories have a relevance to price in the first place. Which would itself be irrational, given the evidence that the price is driven by paper and sentiment.
@ Yooper Rick
Seriously considering it, I went on year hiatus last year because the drama was just to much for me. I do honestly enjoy facebook for some things like keeping up on family and "real friends" who are a distance from me. Outside of that though, facebook is more like the bad girls club than a social network. Everyday I just get bombarded with more and more bullshit...
You know what they say...fighting the issue with the sheeple is like fighting zombies, no brains and they just keep on comin'
I bet...
...curly80 hat tipped himself.
Have fun and don't forget to bring toilet paper (that's what my mom used to tell me when I was little and would "run away" from a situation that I didn't like)
Oh yeah and of course, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out
We all know this currency move from China is coming soon (1-3 years). Surely, the metals will move well in advance of this move. Am I interpreting this correctly that Sinclair believes that within the next 30-60 days the algos will be switched to long metals? And surely this will blow silver over the $35-$36 resistance and gold over $1800. Right?
the independent media
I love how I see / read articles from "independent media sources". Can you trust them or is it just more PM pushing...Fear Mongering, and then asking you to pay 15$ to watch a video on how the system collapses. I dunno anymore. I used to read all these articles and they would make sense but now it is the same ol shit and the collapse is just around the corner and blah blah blah. Everyone has a book for you to buy, or a t shirt, or a sticker, right on or off I cant tell the bad guys from the good anymore. I suggest you read it all both the red and blue kool aid boxes and see what shoe fits, don't trust either side. Jamie Dimon wants to make more money and Jim Sinclair wants the Price of gold to go up. I have my doubts about everything I read here now from everyone and everything. I suggest you do too. No offense Turd, But the lines get blurred for me.
SLW and AG are green
silver looks stronger than gold at the moment.
I see double bottoms in the metals here
Here's one for ya.,, Senate to vote on suspending debt limit ceiling..
please PM me what you have for physical that you are selling today. I would be more than happy to disgorge you of the only real money you have ever owned. I will be more than happy to give you crisp paper dollars and a fair exchange. Thank you in advance.
Didn't take much of a drop to bring out the trolls today
Wow Curley, you've made a total of two whole posts on TFMR, which includes todays well written diatribe "Sell".
What's the expression?
If it has webbed fee, a bill, swims in water and quacks must be a troll?
Re: Ahhhhhh
I think one can really pick the turning point when Nadler starts to get even more smug in his articles.
Sorry - I could not resist . . . . . .
Baba- that HT was me
It pleases me to no end when weak hands GTFO... Sell, Mortimer, SELL!!!
Now if we could just broker a deal to get his phizz to a Turdite, that would be perfect.
One more weak link gone, the chain is now stronger.
Curly80's only previous post was almost exactly on silver's dead lows at the end of June 2012. It was also written in that unmistakable Dupe/Douche/Disinformation Agent style.

Metallica's Lars Ulrich Doesn't Aspire to Be a 'Next-Level Actor'
With the films 'Some Kind of Monster' and 'Get Him to the Greek' already under his belt and appearances in two upcoming films, Metallica stickman Lars Ulrich is building quite the IMDB profile. Despite all his big screen activities, Ulrich says he's not actively pursuing an acting career.
Lars Ulrich hilariously lampooned himself in 'Get Him to the Greek' — and unintentionally in the heavy metal tear-fest 'Some Kind of Monster.' The drummer will finally portray someone other than himself in the upcoming film 'Hemmingway and Gellhorn.' Ulrich appears as Dutch documentarian Joris Ivens alongside Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman — who portray writers Ernest Hemmingway and Martha Gelhorn.
In addition to his role in the HBO film, Lars will also be in Metallica's upcoming 3D concert film which will also include a storyline — a la Led Zeppelin's 'The Song Remains the Same.' That's a lot of screen time for a professional musician, but as Lars tells Pulse of Radio, the projects are coming to him — not the other way around ."The acting thing is not something that I'm chasing," says Ulrich. "The couple, three, four things I've done are all people that have come to me and asked me if I wanted to partake."
"I'm certainly interested in film, I'm passionate about film, but I can't tell you that it's something that I'm chasing," says Ulrich. "And I don't have any sort of aspirations about being some next-level actor or anything like that."
'Hemmingway and Gellhorn' premieres on HBO on May 28 and Metallica's 3D concert film will be shot by Nimrod Antal ('Preadators,' 'Vacancy') this August with a planned 2013 release.

Overheated dryers seen as source of Hillsborough County jail fire
March 25. 2014 10:09PM
MANCHESTER — Clothes couldn't be cleaned for two days at the Valley Street Jail, after a Saturday night fire caused by cleaning rags that overheated in the jail's commercial driers, Jail Superintendent David Dionne said Tuesday.
Dionne said the jail has contracted with a Massachusetts company to launder the uniforms of inmates, and the first load of 270 duffle bags went out Monday. He said inmates had to go two days with the same uniform because of the fire.The fire damaged the driers and vents in the jail, which will have to be replaced, as well as some roofing. Water damaged a second-floor classroom at the jail, but classes were moved to other areas of the jail.The fire did not effect housing units.
On Saturday, Manchester fire officials attributed the fire to greasy kitchen rags and an accumulation of lint in the duct work.
But Dionne said the rags were cleaning rags, and the only chemicals used in cleaning are disinfectants and glass cleaner. He said they are washed before they are dried.
"I think it just got hot," he said about the cause of the fire. Dionne said the duct work had been recently cleaned of lint. He said it will have to be replaced.
Manchester fire officials estimated the damage at $75,000. Dionne said an insurance adjuster visited the jail on Tuesday.

It seems like the only applications that most people still run locally on their desktop are Web browsers and Office suite programs, and Office is jeopardized by online versions. Meanwhile, a lot of attention is going to mobile apps, and there is a strong chance that mobile operating systems could eventually be running on devices powerful enough to replace desktop systems for typical usage.
Given all of these factors, I think it is quite possible that desktop applications will become a niche market, reserved for "workstation" style tasks like multimedia processing, number crunching, and development. What do you think?

a/k/a JUNIOR KEE,
1. The constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy is directed to the identity of the offense and the act. Where the same act or transaction constitutes a violation of two distinct statutory provisions, the test to be applied when determining whether there are two offenses or only a single offense is whether each statutory provision requires proof of an element that the other does not. Where one statute provides proof of an element that the other does not, the crimes are not the same, even though proof of the separate crimes may substantially overlap.
2. If the legislature intended to allow separate punishment for convictions under two criminal statutes that proscribe the same conduct, the trial court is not precluded from imposing, in a single trial, multiple punishments pursuant to the statutes.
3. In a prosecution under K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 65-4141, charging a defendant with having used a communication facility to facilitate a felony violation of K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 65-4163, the State is required to prove the underlying felony offense.
4. Convictions of both K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 65-4141 and the underlying felony offense do not violate the Double Jeopardy Clause of the United States Constitution or § 10 of the Kansas Constitution Bill of Rights. The legislature intended that a conviction under K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 65-4141 and a conviction of the underlying felony offense be separately punished.
Appeal from Woodson District Court; C. FRED LORENTZ, judge. Opinion filed June 23, 2000. Affirmed.
Edward W. Dosh, of Law Offices of Edward Dosh, of Parsons, for appellant.
Kyle G. Smith, assistant attorney general, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for appellee.
Before BRAZIL, C.J., GERNON, J., and JACK A. MURPHY, District Judge, assigned.
BRAZIL, C.J.: Eldon E. Kee, Jr., appeals his jury convictions of two counts of sale of marijuana and one count of use of a communications facility to facilitate the felony of sale of marijuana. He alleges numerous trial errors on appeal.
Finding no reversible error, we affirm.
The charges against Kee stemmed from three controlled marijuana buys that occurred on Kee Farms, Inc., (Kee Farms), a farming operation located in Woodson County, Kansas. Kee was the president of Kee Farms and managed the day-to-day operations of the business. On October 6, 1994, Jimmy Munger, an associate of Kee, informed Neosho County Sheriff Rick Wingate that he would provide information regarding a marijuana distribution operation run by Kee in exchange for leniency on two drug charges recently filed against Munger. A meeting was subsequently arranged with the Kansas Bureau of Investigations (KBI) and the United States Attorney. At the meeting, Munger agreed to buy marijuana from Kee under the surveillance of the sheriff's department and the KBI. He took part in three controlled buys on November 3, 9, and 18, 1994.
The jury found Kee guilty of two counts of sale of marijuana for transactions occurring on November 3 and 9, and guilty of one count of unlawful use of a communication facility in causing or facilitating the commission of the felony of sale of marijuana on November 3. Kee was acquitted of one count of sale of marijuana on November 18 and two counts of use of a communication facility on November 9 and 18.
During voir dire, the trial court asked two married couples on the venire panel to determine which spouse would be excused. Defense counsel objected on grounds the trial court's decision violated the random selection process. The trial court overruled the objection, noting one couple had their child with them and, since 90 people remained in the jury pool, the parties were not precluded from being able to select a fair jury.
The trial court also excused several potential jurors who indicated they could not be fair and impartial because they knew Kee or had obtained outside information regarding the case. One potential juror indicated he heard talk in a coffee shop and had formed a strong opinion that prevented him from being fair and impartial. The State asked another juror if he had formed any "preconceived ideas from the coffee shop, newspaper, or radio." The juror indicated he was in the same social circle as Kee, was a business competitor, had heard "things," and could not give Kee a "fair shake." The trial court asked if he was unable to be impartial because he was Kee's competitor or because he had heard information about the case. The juror replied, "[s]ome of both." Defense counsel moved for a mistrial on grounds the statements made by the potential jurors tainted the jury pool, making it impossible for Kee to receive a fair trial. The trial court denied the motion.
On appeal, Kee argues the trial court's decision to allow married couples to determine which spouse would be excused from the jury pool was in error and prejudicial. He also argues the trial court erred in denying his motion for a mistrial because the jurors heard prejudicial statements from potential jurors.
Whether a prospective juror is qualified to sit in the case is a matter within the discretion of the trial court during the voir dire examination, and the trial court's determination will not be overturned unless an abuse of discretion appears. A trial court's rulings are generally not reversible error unless prejudicial. See State v. Aikins, 261 Kan. 346, 365, 932 P.2d 408 (1997); In re Estate of Minney, 216 Kan. 178, 184, 531 P.2d 52 (1975). The failure to grant a mistrial will not constitute reversible error unless an abuse of discretion is shown. See State v. Zamora, 263 Kan. 340, 349, 949 P.2d 621 (1997).
Kee does not explain how the trial court abused its discretion in allowing married couples to determine which spouse would be excused from the venire panel or how the trial court's decision was prejudicial. The trial court adequately explained its decision, and Kee was not prejudiced.
Kee's claim that statements made by potential jurors during voir dire denied him a fair trial is also without merit. The trial court merely excused members who indicated they could not be impartial because they knew Kee or had outside knowledge of the case. The potential jurors did not reveal details of the outside information or indicate whether they were unable to be impartial to Kee or the State. Although one juror stated he could not give Kee "a fair shake," he indicated he could not do so in part because he was a business competitor. He did not provide any details or other information regarding Kee or the case.
Kee argues State v. Yurk, 230 Kan. 516, 638 P.2d 921 (1982), is analogous to this situation and stands for the proposition that prolonged questioning of suspect jurors is prejudicial. We disagree.
Unlike Yurk, the potential jurors here were not subjected to prolonged questioning by the attorneys or the trial court. The trial court told the potential jurors during voir dire that it was important to set aside any information they had obtained about the case and be able to make a decision based on the evidence presented. The trial court also instructed the jury that its verdict was to be founded entirely upon the evidence admitted at trial.
The trial court did not err in excusing potential jurors or in denying Kee's motion for a new trial.
On October 27, 1994, Munger took Wingate to several locations on Kee Farms. Wingate discovered marijuana plants growing in one field and discarded marijuana plants in another. He found marijuana plants suspended from the ceiling in one barn, marijuana plants drying on bedsprings in another barn, and "processed" marijuana in plastic bags in a Quonset hut. Wingate took photographs and samples of the marijuana.
Prior to trial, Kee filed a motion to suppress all of the State's evidence in the case as fruit of an illegal search conducted by Wingate on October 27, 1994. He alleged the authorities would not have conducted the controlled buys without the evidence obtained by Wingate during the search.
Following a hearing, the trial court denied the motion. It noted the search was problematic; however, it concluded the controlled buys would have occurred regardless of the search since the investigation of Kee began before the search. The court also noted the evidence indicated Munger had property rights to the land searched and properly brought Wingate onto the land.
When reviewing a trial court's decision as to the suppression of evidence, an appellate court normally gives great deference to the factual findings of the trial court. The ultimate determination of the suppression of evidence is a legal question requiring independent appellate determination. State v. Vandiver, 257 Kan. 53, 58, 891 P.2d 350 (1995).
When a motion to suppress is denied, the moving party must object to the evidence at trial to preserve the issue on appeal. State v. Cellier, 263 Kan. 54, Syl. ¶ 2, 948 P.2d 616 (1997). Kee failed to object to the introduction of the evidence at trial. This issue, therefore, is not properly preserved on appeal.
Moreover, Wingate testified at the hearing on the motion to suppress that Munger met with the KBI and the United States Attorney and agreed to participate in controlled buys before October 27. Wingate stated the investigation would have proceeded if he had not gone to Kee's property on October 27. Wingate's testimony was unrefuted. Although the evidence obtained by Wingate on October 27 confirmed Munger's allegations, no evidence was presented at the hearing on the motion to suppress to indicate the fruits of the search affected the KBI's decision to proceed with the controlled buys. Further, the evidence discovered on October 27 was not evidence of the crimes charged and was not introduced by the State to prove Kee committed the charged offenses.
The trial court did not err in denying Kee's motion to suppress.
Kee next argues the trial court committed reversible error in restricting his cross-examination of Munger and limiting the admissibility of evidence to attack Munger's credibility. Kee's discussion of this issue, although lengthy, is hard to follow and difficult to comprehend. He appears to allege the trial court refused to allow him to cross-examine Munger and excluded evidence relating to the following: (1) Munger's financial status; (2) Munger's animosity towards Kee because Kee failed to bail him out of jail; (3) his prior drug arrests and convictions; (3) Munger's prior drug use; (4) compensation Munger received from the State; (5) Munger's financial debt to Kee; and (6) Munger had previously led officials on a "wild goose chase." Kee contends the trial court prevented him from challenging Munger's credibility in violation of his Sixth Amendment right to confrontation.
Kee provides no citations to the record to support his argument the trial court excluded evidence and restricted his cross-examination of Munger. Factual allegations made without being keyed to the record on appeal are presumed to be without support in the record. Supreme Court Rule 6.02(d) (1999 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 33); In re Care & Treatment of Hay, 263 Kan. 822, 841-42, 953 P.2d 666 (1998).
Kee's assertions are in fact unsupported by the record. Kee was not limited by the trial court in his cross-examination of Munger, and the trial court did not prevent the admission of evidence as Kee suggests. Rather, the record shows the evidence Kee claims was excluded was presented to the jury and at no time did the trial court restrict defense counsel in his cross-examination of Munger. The record indicates the points Kee contends were excluded were addressed by the State and defense counsel during the examination of Munger.
Kee does provide a citation to the record to support his claim the trial court excluded evidence of Munger's prior convictions. During cross-examination by defense counsel, a KBI agent acknowledged Munger had a prior arrest. The State objected and requested a conference outside the presence of the jury to discuss the admissibility of Munger's prior drug convictions. The trial court ruled Munger's prior drug convictions were inadmissible to impeach his credibility but stated Kee could address the charges that led Munger to cooperate with authorities. Subsequently, defense counsel asked Munger on cross-examination if he had ever been arrested for cocaine possession. The State objected and a bench conference was held off the record. The question was not asked again.
Kee contends Munger's prior drug convictions were admissible to impeach Munger's credibility. His contention is without merit. Drug offenses are not crimes involving dishonesty and are not admissible for the purpose of impeaching the credibility of a witness. State v. Hall, 246 Kan. 728, 744, 793 P.2d 737 (1990).
Kee also states in his brief the trial court erred in denying his pretrial motion in limine and allowing Munger to testify as to Kee's background in dealing drugs with Munger and others. Kee fails to explain how the trial court's ruling was in error or prejudiced his case. Points incidentally raised but not briefed are deemed abandoned. See State v. Valdez, 266 Kan. 774, 784, 977 P.2d 242 (1999).
After the defense rested, the State moved to admit evidence relating to the marijuana discovered by Wingate on October 27, 1994. The State conceded the search was illegal, but argued the evidence was proper rebuttal evidence since Kee testified he had never cultivated or sold marijuana on his property. The State requested that it be allowed to present the testimony of Wingate and the photographs of marijuana plants. The trial court ruled the State could use the evidence to impeach Kee's credibility.
Defense counsel subsequently requested the State to designate its rebuttal witnesses. The record indicates an off-the-record discussion was held. The State then called Carolyn McGowan, Ralph Ulrich, and Wingate, respectively. McGowan, Kee's girlfriend and business partner, was called to produce records and information regarding certain property she had purchased. Ulrich testified he assisted Munger in the spring and summer of 1994 in growing marijuana on Kee Farms. He stated Munger had told him to contact Kee to discuss continued planting if anything should happen to Munger. Wingate testified as to the marijuana he discovered in the fields, the two barns, and the Quonset hut. He identified several photographs that he took of the marijuana plants in the fields, barns, and Quonset hut.
Kee argues the trial court erred in allowing the State to introduce the rebuttal evidence. He contends the evidence was cumulative and did not refute evidence presented by the defense, and its probative value was outweighed by its prejudicial effect.
At the beginning of the State's direct examination of Wingate, defense counsel entered a continuing objection to the admission of Wingate's testimony and the photographs on grounds the evidence was the fruit of an illegal search. The record, however, does not indicate defense counsel objected that the witness' testimony or the other evidence was improper rebuttal evidence. An issue not presented to the trial court will not be considered for the first time on appeal. State v. Ninci, 262 Kan. 21, 42, 936 P.2d 1364 (1997).
Moreover, Kee testified he had never grown, processed, or sold marijuana on Kee Farms. The evidence admitted to show Kee was involved in growing marijuana on Kee Farms was proper rebuttal evidence that directly refuted Kee's testimony. See State v. Allison, 259 Kan. 25, 36, 910 P.2d 817 (1996). Kee also argues the trial court erred in admitting the evidence introduced through Wingate since it was the fruit of an illegal search. Even assuming the search was unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment, the impeachment exception to the exclusionary rule permits the prosecution to introduce illegally obtained evidence to impeach the defendant's own testimony. James v. Illinois, 493 U.S. 307, 309, 107 L. Ed. 2d 676, 110 S. Ct. 648 (1990). Kee's claim on this point fails.
Kee next argues that because law enforcement officials did not observe Munger exchange money for marijuana, and because Munger's testimony was not credible, this court should conclude his convictions are unsupported by the evidence.
When sufficiency of the evidence is challenged in a criminal case, the standard of review is whether, after review of all the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the prosecution, the appellate court is convinced that a rational factfinder could have found the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. State v. Johnson, 266 Kan. 322, 326, 970 P.2d 990 (1998).
Munger testified he and Kee arranged the November 3 buy during a taped telephone conversation that was played for the jury. Authorities testified Munger was provided $1,000 and his vehicle was searched before the November 3 and 9 meetings. Munger testified he gave Kee the money in exchange for the marijuana. After the meetings, the vehicle contained 1 pound of marijuana and no money. The jury viewed photographs and video and audio tape recordings of the November 3 and 9 meetings.
Sufficient evidence was presented at trial for a reasonable factfinder to conclude Kee was guilty of the offenses beyond a reasonable doubt. It was the function of the jury to determine the weight and credit to be given the evidence and the testimony of Munger. On review, this court will not pass on the credibility of witnesses and all questions of credibility must be resolved in favor of the State. See State v. Kuykendall, 264 Kan. 647, 651, 957 P.2d 1112 (1998). Kee's sufficiency of the evidence challenge fails.
During the instruction conference, Kee argued the three counts of unlawful use of a communication facility in causing or facilitating the commission of the felony of sale of marijuana were multiplicitous and requested the trial court to dismiss the three charges. The trial court denied the request.
Kee argues his convictions of sale of marijuana on November 3, 1994, and use of a communication facility to facilitate the sale are multiplicitous because the same act of selling marijuana was required to prove both offenses.
A defendant may be prosecuted for more than one crime arising from the same conduct but convicting a defendant of multiplicitous crimes is prohibited by K.S.A. 21-3107.
The Kansas appellate courts have recognized several distinct approaches to analyzing multiplicity claims. See State v. Mincey, 265 Kan. 257, 260-65, 963 P.2d 403 (1998); State v. Taylor, 25 Kan. App. 2d 407, 410, 965 P.2d 834, rev. denied 265 Kan. 889 (1998). Multiplicity creates the potential for multiple punishments for the same offense in violation of the double jeopardy clause. See State v. Mincey, 265 Kan. at 260. For double jeopardy purposes, the traditional analysis employed in numerous Kansas cases, and relied upon by the parties in this case, provides: "'Where the same act or transaction constitutes a violation of two distinct statutory provisions, the test to be applied when determining whether there are two offenses or only a single offense is whether each statutory provision requires proof of an element that the other does not.'" State v. Gonzales, 245 Kan. 691, 702, 783 P.2d 1239 (1989) (quoting State v. Dunn, 243 Kan. 414, 432, 758 P.2d 718 [1988]).
Kee was convicted of use of a communication facility in facilitating the felony of sale of marijuana, in violation of K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 65-4141, and the underlying felony of sale of marijuana in violation of K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 65-4163(a)(3).
K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 65-4141 provides:
"(a) Except as authorized by the uniform controlled substances act, it shall be unlawful for any person knowingly or intentionally to use any communication facility: (1) In committing or in causing or facilitating the commission of any felony under . . . K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 65-4160 through 65-4164 and amendments thereto."
In prosecuting Kee under K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 65-4141, the State was required to prove the underlying felony of sale of marijuana. See State v. Hill, 252 Kan. 637, 645, 847 P.2d 1267 (1993); State v. Garrison, 252 Kan. 929, 935-36, 850 P.2d 244 (1993). Under the test set forth above, the offenses are multiplicitous because the sale of marijuana offense does not contain a statutory element that is not found in the offense charged under K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 65-4141.
The Supreme Court, however, has recognized that the Double Jeopardy Clause, which affords the same protections contained in § 10 of the Kansas Constitution Bill of Rights, Mincey, 265 Kan. at 260, does no more than prevent the sentencing court from imposing greater punishment than the legislature intended. See Gonzales, 245 Kan. at 704 (quoting Missouri v. Hunter, 459 U.S. 359, 74 L. Ed. 2d 535, 103 S. Ct. 673 [1983]); State v. Ninci, 262 Kan. at 55-57 (quoting State v. Holt, 260 Kan. 33, 44-45, 917 P.2d 1332 [1996]). If the legislature intended to allow separate punishment for convictions under two criminal statutes that proscribe the same conduct, the trial court is not precluded from imposing, in a single trial, multiple punishments pursuant to the statutes. It must be determined, therefore, whether the Kansas Legislature intended to allow conviction and punishment for both offenses. Gonzales, 245 Kan. at 704.
In State v. Taylor, this court held a defendant may be convicted of both aggravated assault and criminal discharge of a firearm at an occupied building where some persons in a building are in immediate apprehension of bodily harm because of shots fired at the building. 25 Kan. App. 2d at 422. To support its rulings, the court discussed several cases from other jurisdictions that had reviewed similar statutes enacted in response to the problem of drive-by shootings. 25 Kan. App. 2d 416-19. The court discussed People v. Rivera, 216 Mich. App. 648, 650-51, 550 N.W.2d 593 (1996), lv. to appeal denied 454 Mich. 861 (1997), in which the Michigan court considered whether convictions of assault with intent to commit murder and discharge of a firearm from a vehicle with intent to commit harm violated constitutional protections against double jeopardy.
"The [Rivera] court stated that the purpose of the double jeopardy protection against multiple punishments for the same offense is to protect the defendant's interest in not enduring more punishment than was intended by the legislature. To determine legislative intent the court considered whether each statute prohibits conduct violative of a social norm distinct from that protected by the other, the amount of punishment authorized by each statute, whether the statutes are hierarchical or cumulative, and the elements of each offense." 25 Kan. App. 2d at 417. (Emphasis added.)
The Rivera court looked to principles for determining legislative intent as set forth by the Michigan Supreme Court in People v. Robideau, 419 Mich. 458, 355 N.W. 2d 592 (1984). The Robideau court was faced with determining whether the legislature intended the compound crime of first-degree criminal sexual assault (penetration under circumstances involving any "other felony") to be distinct from the predicate "other felony" crimes of armed robbery or kidnapping. In setting forth a nonexclusive list of factors to consider in determining legislative intent, the court stated:
"Our criminal statutes often build upon one another. Where one statute incorporates most of the elements of a base statute and then increases the penalty as compared to the base statute, it is evidence that the Legislature did not intend punishment under both statutes. The Legislature has taken conduct from the base statute, decided that aggravating conduct deserves additional punishment, and imposed it accordingly, instead of imposing dual convictions." 355 N.W. 2d at 487-88.
Sale of marijuana in violation of K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 65-4163(a)(3) is a drug severity level 3 felony. K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 65-4141 incorporates the elements of the sale of marijuana offense and provides that a person violating the statute is guilty of a nondrug severity level 8, nonperson felony, a lesser punishment. The use of a communication facility makes the commission of the underlying drug offense easier or less difficult. See Hill, 252 Kan. at 643-45. Because the communication facility offense incorporates all of the elements of the underlying felony and provides a lesser penalty than the underlying felony offense, it is clear that the legislature intended to enhance the sentence of a defendant who uses a communication facility to make the commission of the underlying drug offense easier. The legislature intended that a conviction of each offense be punished separately. Kee's convictions do not violate the double jeopardy protection against multiple punishments.
In his final argument, Kee asserts K.S.A. 21-4721(e) is unconstitutional on equal protection grounds. He asserts the statute provides disparate treatment because defendants who do not receive an upward departure sentence are precluded from appealing their sentence.
Kee's claim is clearly without merit. He was sentenced under 1994 Supp. K.S.A. 21-4721(e), and could properly appeal on grounds his sentence resulted from partiality, prejudice, oppression or corrupt motive. See State v. Flores, 268 Kan. 657, __ P.2d __ (2000); State v. Windom, 23 Kan. App. 2d 429, 430-31, 932 P.2d 1019, rev. denied 262 Kan. 969 (1997).
Even under the current statute, defendants are not treated differently. An appellate court may review a departure sentence that results from partiality, prejudice, oppression or corrupt motive. However, an appellate court does not have jurisdiction to review a defendant's presumptive sentence, regardless of whether the trial court departed. See Flores, 268 Kan 657, Syl. ¶ 3.

- Great program Review by Joshua
Reggie Ray is brilliant and this program challenges some common myths and follies of modern meditation practice.
Truth and wisdom are found in the forest temple of our body. Quieting the mind allows the wisdom of the body to speak.
I cannot recommend this work highly enough!

- Review for Meditating with the Body Review by BERNICE P
during the hot weather I have not been listening to the download except once. I am a fan of Reginald Ray's approach and delivery. For a "surface skimming stillness idealist" I like how he gets right to the core in a very short time! I am really happy to be able to hopefully make a little headway in listening to his talks. I like his energy and way of wording things. I stay engaged! thanks for producing his work. Bernice

- Review for Meditating with the Body Review by C.K.bharathy
This is excellent buy. The guided meditations to my surprise did really work. Earth, Prana, awareness meditations directly takes one to the realms not easily dwelled in. This one realises with an inexpected surge of affection is due to the profound insight of the author resonating with the listner. This is a hall mark of a sincere teacher. The long pauses are natural resting places as one climbs higher. Words are just enough ans listener has to intuite rather than fed with ideas. This does creates an issue as for example i am still not sure whether i am doing this right or something is amiss. But as you go on, you realise that it is better this way becuse you have to bring your meaning and understanding to compliment the practice. Highly recomended!

I'm not a big fan of this cd. Although the content is valuable . . . .this was not one of best sources I've found.
His manner of speaking incorporates long unnatural pauses which I found distracting and I found the format of his meditations to be uncomfortable as well.

- Review for Meditating with the Body Review by Roxanne Seitz
Content may be superlative, but for me Ray's voice did not work. I knew I would not want to listen to the book. I listened to a small portion and wrote to ST about returning it, which I have not yet done. Just a matter of my personal reaction at the time, which may not be true for most. I plan to try once again before I return it.

I think the meditation tape is excellent. He has such a quiet soothing voice and tells the story very well.
Two shortcomings: 1) There is some repetition on this one that was on another one I bought. Not needed.
2) He talks about Buddhism too long. He should just do "guided meditation."

Season 6 Press/Spoilers?
By know, we all know that Supernatural will return with Season 6 in September, and we also know that longtime producer Sera Gamble is taking over the day-to-day duties of show runner since show creator Eric Kripke has decided to step down since the triumphant completion of his five year epic story-arc that followed Sam and Dean Winchester on their adventures from Lawrence, Kansas, literally through Hell and Heaven and back again. Epic indeed.
The Death Slot
So what's next? How about a new time-slot? How about the Friday death-slot? CW announced its fall schedule, involves moving Supernatural to Fridays at 9pm into the infamous "death-slot". Supernatural will be lead in by the tenth and final season of Smallville. Here's the full CW schedule:
CW Fall 2010 Lineup
9-Gossip Girl
8-One Tree Hill
9-Life Unexpected
8-America's Next Top Model
9-Hellcats (new cheerleading drama)
8-The Vampire Diaries
9-Nikita (new female assassin series)
Press Spoilers?
Coincidentally, or not, the CW simultaneously issued a press release about the next season of Supernatural and they, may, or may not, have dropped a spoiler-ish hint about what to expect.
Here's the "official" CW press release:
"Returning for its sixth season, this haunting series follows Sam and Dean Winchester, two brothers bound by tragedy and blood to their dangerous, other-worldly mission. This past season, Dean and Sam faced their toughest foe yet: the Devil himself. As the Apocalypse raged on around them, the brothers, aided only by a dwindling band of fellow hunters and rebel angel Castiel, sought a way to stop Lucifer and save the planet. Ultimately, they discovered a way to force Lucifer back into Hell and end the Apocalypse – but at tremendous cost: Sam's life. Season six will be a season of mystery and shadow. Heaven and Hell have been left in complete disarray since the apocalyptic events of season five. And now, monsters, angels and demons roam across a lawless and chaotic landscape. And so Dean Winchester, who has retired from hunting and sworn never to return, finds himself being pulled back into his old life – pulled back by none other than Sam Winchester, who has escaped from Hell. The two reunite to beat back the rising tide of creatures and demon-spawn, but they quickly realize that neither are who they used to be, their relationship isn't what it used to be, and that nothing is what it seems. The series stars Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester, Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester and Misha Collins as Castiel."
There you have it, confirmation, of sorts, that Castiel is back despite the early indications that a definitive ending to the Angels/Heaven storyline would be reached and the show would return to the classic "monster-of-the-week" format. Which would seemingly involve the absence of fan-fav Castiel. Still, it's too early to say anything one way or the other. I mean, who knows how much he'll be around, but for now it's a safe bet we'll get at least some Castiel action. Check out buddytv's coverage of the press release Here.
It also seems like the last scene of the season five finale wasn't as confusing as one might have thought, as it looks like this is confirmation that Sam did indeed get out of Hell, but how? Why? Just to get Dean back into the hunting trade? Seems too simple.
And, even though it's not mentioned, I have it on good authority that the boys surrogate father-figure and fellow hunter Bobby Singer (Jim Beaver) is expected to appear in season 6. Zap2it is reporting that both the CW and Warner Bros. have confirmed Jim Beaver' s involvement.
Warner's ReAnimating The Franchise
It seems now that Supernatural is syndication ready with over one hundred episodes under its belt with twenty two more hours underway, a successful comic book, novels, and tie-ins, why not jump one more shark and cross yet another platform over into the world of anime! Yes, Warner bros. has an eye to hatch an anime-style cartoon series based on the adventures of the Winchester family.
According to Anime News Network, Supernatural creator Eric Kripke and Madhouse co-founder Masao Maruyama are executive producing the series. What might an anime versionf of Supernatural look like? The characters are set to be designed by Takahiro Yoshimatsu, from the awesome "Trigun ," series, and Naoya Takayama, from a show I'm not familiar with, "Night Head," will oversee the series' scripts.
So far twenty-two episodes of the anime have already been ordered and will reportedly loosely follow the first two seasons of Kripke's live-action Supernatural series, but they're not looking for a total rehash of old material, expect the animated Winchesters to exploring new territory and new stories, and they are even supposed to delve more into the Winchester brothers' childhoods potentially filling in a lot of pre-Supernatural TOS (The Original Series, as I am hence forth calling it) cannon.
The twenty-two episodes will ship out in three volumes. The first will be available January 2011, and will contain episodes 1 and 2. The second volume is slated for a February release and will be much expanded, containing episodes 3-12. Then, volume 3 will round out the season with episdoes13-22, and should ship out April 6.
What could possibly be next after anime? Supernatural on ice? I daren't think it. Then again…
Super-Fans Thank Kripke
Since Supernatural creator Eric Kripke has stepped down as show runner and passed the baton show producer Sera Gamble, a diehard group of Supernatural fans felt that the five-year milestone was a praiseworthy event and the group of Super-fans raised the cash to buy a full-page magazine ad that thanked Kripke for all his hard work.
I am not at all surprised, from day one I knew this show was different, special, that rare kind of show, especially in the horror/sci-fi genre, that was able to have mainstream success and longevity, not because of celebrity cameos or product placement, but because it simply deserved it. And when something like that happens, people can't help but connect to it. Kripke and co. deserve every bit of adoration and praise we give them, because they've given us so much more in return.
Supernatural Home Video Breakdown:
Season 5 Pre-order/Release Date
As reported a few weeks ago, the details are still scarce on extras and any other amenities, but now at least we have a pretty firm idea of the release date. tvshowondvd has the date set for September 7, 2010 and they sport a direct link to Amazon, so I think it's a safe date, and it totally jives with all the secondhand reports floating around out there.
Amazon is taking pre-orders for the very fair prices of $38.99 for DVD and $48.99 for Blu-Ray and it's not too bad a wait. But, for you impatient types Amazon has another option. For all those who demand instant gratification you can watch the complete Season "with one click" for only $52.62 using Amazon's "video on demand" feature, or you can watch just that episode you missed because you're cable box was angry at you, for only $2.99 an episode.
Apparently, the Region 2 format (UK) has already seen the release of the first half of the fifth series (or fifth season, as we say stateside.) With the second half of the series set for release on August 16, 2010. Check out Amazon to pre-order you copy of the DVD or Blu-ray!

The steady decline in the number of U.S. cotton gins continued last year, mirroring the consolidation trend in American business and industry.
"In 2003, we had 890 gins nationwide," says Thomas Valco, Office of Technology, USDA Agricultural Research Service, Stoneville, Miss.
"That was down from 931 the year before and 1,533 in 1990. Typically, we lose 15 to 40 gins each year, and since 1990 it has averaged 50 per year."
At the same time, also reflecting general U.S. business trends, the gins remaining are reporting higher volumes," he told members of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association at their summer conference at Lafayette, La.
The annual volume now averages about 20,000 bales.
"All indications are that these trends in gin numbers and volume will continue moving in the same directions, and this will require remaining gins to adopt new technologies to increase capacity and deliver a timely, quality product."
In recent years, Valco says, the shift of cotton between regions, particularly to the Southeast, has resulted in "dramatic changes" in state gin numbers. The largest reduction in production has been in the West, 38 percent, with Southwest and Mid-South declines not far behind, at 32 percent and 33 percent respectively.
The Southeast, with only a 4 percent reduction in active gin numbers since 1994, reflects the growth of that area's cotton production. Georgia, Florida, and Virginia had a net production increase during the period, as did Kansas in the Southwest.
California had the largest average annual volume per gin, followed by Virginia, Georgia, and North Carolina. Kansas gins are new plants and have high annual volumes. New Mexico, Oklahoma, and South Carolina have the lowest annual volume per gin, in part reflecting their smaller production volumes and other special situations.
Texas has the largest percentage of small gins under 10,000 bales per year and California has the highest percentage of large gins.
"While smaller gins provide an important service," Valco says, "it's difficult to continue to operate with those low volumes and to afford newer technology and meet regulatory requirements.
"There will continue to be opportunities for the consolidation and modernization of gin plants, where production trends allow for increased ginning volumes. In states where there are pretty high numbers of gins with less than 5,000 bales, we would expect to see continuing consolidation."

High consumption and throwaway habits make Canada an environmental laggard
OTTAWA, Jan. 17, 2013 /CNW/ - Canada throws away more garbage per capita than any other country in the developed world. That, combined with heavy usage of energy and water, gives Canada a 'C' grade and a ranking of 15th out of 17 countries in The Conference Board of Canada's How Canada Performs-Environment ranking.
|Canada, Australia and the United States, the three lowest ranking countries, share similar characteristics of large land area and resource-intensive economies.
|Several of Canada's dismal results are due to overconsumption.
|Canadians use more than nine times the water per capita that Denmark does.
"Our large land mass, cold climate and resource-intensive economy make us less likely to rank highly on some indicators of environmental sustainability, but many of our poor results are based on our inefficient use of our resources," said Len Coad, Director, Director, Energy, Environment and Technology Policy. "Canada must promote economic growth without further degrading the environment. Encouraging more sustainable consumption is crucial to achieve that objective."
A 15th place ranking, the same as in 2009, place Canada ahead of only Australia and the United States. These three countries are similar: they are three largest countries in terms of land area, and they are the most resource-intensive economies in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Canada does show some excellent environmental results. Forests are generally well-protected and well-managed. Air quality has improved modestly, energy use per person is down and water quality is still high.
But several of Canada's dismal results are due to overconsumption. In addition to generating the most waste, Canadians' water withdrawals are nearly double the average of the other countries and are lower only than the United States. And despite some improvement, Canadians are still the largest users of energy in the developed world.
Waste: In 2009, Canada generated 777 kilograms of municipal waste per capita - the 17 country average was 578 kg. Most of the waste goes to landfills or incinerators - of the 34 million tonnes generated in 2008, 26 million went there for disposal.
Energy: Canada's energy use is a mixed picture. Canadian greenhouse gas emissions per capita in 2010 earned a "D" grade, likely because of increased exports of natural resources. Yet GHG emissions per capita fell by almost five per cent between 1990 and 2010. Similarly Canada ranks 17th and last for the highest level of total energy consumption, but energy intensity decreased by almost 20 per cent between 1990 and 2009. And Canada improved the share of its electricity produced by nuclear and renewable sources (mostly hydroelectric power) from 72 per cent in 2000 to almost 78 per cent in 2011.
Air quality: Canada's performance on all four air quality indicators in this analysis improved between 1990 and 2009. Yet, compared to most other countries, Canada still emits higher levels per capita of nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Water: At a glance, Canada enjoys abundant and safe water. For example, Canada earns an 'A' grade for water quality and ranks 4th on this indicator. Yet, regions such as the Prairies, southern Ontario and southern Quebec have water quality concerns, due in part to municipal water discharges (still, despite upgrades, one of the largest sources of pollution in Canadian waters). Furthermore, Canada's water withdrawals are nearly double the 16-country average, and Canadians use more than nine times the water per capita that Denmark does.
Forest management: Canada is a top performer in its forestry practices. Canada gets an 'A' grade and ranks second only to Japan on use of forest resources, and earns a 'B' grade for its change in forest cover between 2005 and 2010.
Biodiversity: Canada gets an "A' for the proportion of threatened species as a share of all species. Nevertheless, the number of species at risk in Canada is increasing, although federal biodiversity action plans have been prepared for the agriculture and forestry sectors. In contrast, Canada's Marine Trophic Index declined between 2000 and 2006, so Canada gets a "D" grade and ranks last on this indicator. The Marine Trophic Index is a measure of the extent to which a country is fishing for smaller species that are further down the food chain, so it measures the overall level of depletion of fish stocks.
How Canada Performs is a multi-year research program at The Conference Board of Canada to help leaders identify relative strengths and weaknesses in Canada's socio-economic performance. The How Canada Performs website presents data and analysis on Canada's performance compared to 16 peer countries in six performance categories: Economy, Innovation, Environment, Education and Skills, Health, and Society.

What kind of society are we if we don't help those who need our help the most?
Every day, individuals and families who are at risk of homelessness, hunger and other life crises in our communities go unnoticed by society at large. But we notice.
And we offer a variety of community programs including information and referral, food and prepared meals, thrift stores and collaborations with the faith community.
We believe that by assisting those in need – physically, mentally and spiritually – and helping them to reach their full potential, our communities becomes stronger and the lives of each and every member become better.

Bankruptcy? What happens to my car warranty then?
wreckerman9 Posts: 8thats what the news reported,maybe i can get my congressman to replace my fuel pump.or diagnose my check engine light,ehh? i wouldn't worry myself about it,life's 2 short,ya know...and there's always gonna be another problem to take your mind off of this one. drive careful crew.0
whoosierdaddy Posts: 76Henderson confirmed the last Saturn vehicle will be built this year unless a buyer for the brand emerges with a good offer. GM will phase out Saturn by the end of this year.0
Gee, not too many relevant posts here.
I'm concerned about my wife's car which still has a supposed "factory warranty" through next summer (if she doesn't hit the mileage limit first). It's a CTS, which has been pretty trouble free. But as for buying a new car - not right now, no way, I like American cars but not Fords or Chryslers (Cadillacs for me thank you), and there's no way I'm getting sucked into this malestrom. I think I'll find a nice 1995-96 Fleetwood to replace the one i crashed before getting sent overseas. They'll be relatively inexpensive, can last forever and I LIKE them.0
Mr_Shiftright Sonoma, CaliforniaPosts: 61,442Unless I'm missing something obvious that goes against all previous history--when a car company goes Ch 7, it liquidates, and all owners are SOL when it comes to warranty. That's it.
Not to scare anybody, but if my history is correct, no American car company has survived bankruptcy since Studebaker in 1934--which hung on another 32 years, probably thanks to WW II.
MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!0
As long as GM remains in Chap. 11, owners shouldn't see anything different. Chrysler is about to emerge from bankruptcy any day now. How long the new company last is another story.0
If you buy a new vehicle from one of the dealers that has lost his franchise. Do you think the company will warranty it? The Chrysler dealer in Florida with 125 new cars claimed he could not sell them as new after June 9th when his franchise is pulled. I would think those cars are near worthless. How the resale can do anything but go in the toilet is beyond me. If Toyota is selling new Tundra PU trucks at 2/3rds MSRP, what would a Dodge PU truck be worth. Maybe half new price.0
It shouldn't matter if he can sell them new or not. As long as Chrysler is in business, they have to honor the warranty. The 3yr/36k mile warranty is in affect new or used. Now the Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty may be a different story. I'm not familiar with details of the warranty but I would hope that Chrysler would honor the Lifetime powertrain warranty since the cars have never been titled.
I think all Chrysler's are worthless but i agree that all used Chrysler's will take a huge hit in the resale value on June 9th esp. 1-3 year old cars. similar to what happened with Oldsmobile. You can probably buy a new Chrysler for cheaper than a 1-3 used one.
Interesting times. I'm about to get into the maket for a new/used car. should be fun.0
If the dealer sells the car AFTER his franchise is pulled, Chrysler DOES NOT have to honor any warranty.0
If the dealer sells the car AFTER his franchise is pulled, Chrysler DOES NOT have to honor any warranty.
Why wouldn't the basic 3 yr/36k mile warranty not be honored? I understand the Limited Lifetime warranty wouldn't be honored.
Is this because the cars would be considered used cars?0
corvette United StatesPosts: 6,141I think the car has to be delivered (and the warranty activated) from an authorized dealer. If they don't have a franchise, it's basically a grey market car.0
I think the car has to be delivered (and the warranty activated) from an authorized dealer. If they don't have a franchise, it's basically a grey market car.
Electronics and Cameras have the same issue. Grey market is many times cheaper, as long as the device keeps working. I look for a lot of grey market vehicles over the next couple years. Buyer beware.0
mitzij Posts: 613You may be confusing grey market (new car sold outside of the franchise agreement) and aftermarket (electronics/accessories for a vehicle sold by a company that didn't manufacture the car)
Aftermarket parts can have a warranty through the aftermarket company. Aftermarket parts can void the manufacturer warranty if they cause trouble, but it's an unusual occurrence.
Grey market vehicles usually have the warranty blocked or severely limited. We occasionally see a vehicle built for Canadian sale that was brought south and sold as 'nearly new'. These were meant to be used in Canada-not the US, so the warranty is voided.0
I was not thinking about after market car stuff. I was referring to cameras & electronics sold online. Some have full MFG warranty others came in grey market and are not warranted.
This will be a whole new situation. Most car dealers that just go out of business give back the cars or the bank takes them back and they are sold through other dealers. With several 1000 dealers losing their franchise no one will want the inventory and the customer could get screwed if they do not understand the difference between a legitimate dealer and one that is just selling cars he was stuck with. With Chrysler shut down the supply may dry up before the dealers lose their franchises.0

Interesting! I did not know that. Thanks0
That is interesting. Here's a short blurb about it:
Fiat Agrees To Honor State's Lemon Law With Chrysler (courant.com).0
Now Public Citizen is weighing in:
"Leading national consumer groups late Tuesday appealed the decision of the federal bankruptcy court overseeing the Chrysler bankruptcy proceeding, asking the court to preserve consumer protection laws and the rights of victims injured by vehicle design flaws and defects to seek compensation from Chrysler.
With the stroke of a pen, the bankruptcy court exempted the new Chrysler/Fiat company that will emerge from bankruptcy proceedings from accountability to consumers who have suffered or will suffer injury or loss caused by defects."
Ruling that Undermines Lemon Laws in 25 States Should Be Overturned0
Steve, the court ruling only kills off existing vehicle liabilities, not new sales, right? Still a screw up on the part of the court. The STUPID military network here is BLOCKING my access to the site because it is an "advocacy group??? :mad: :mad: :mad:0
Heh, well, I'm pretty sure that Ralph Nader runs Public Citizen. Maybe the armed forces are afraid he'll get their HumVees mothballed. :shades:
I'm not positive but I think the bankruptcy may kill off only the existing liabilities, and even then, there may be some exceptions. The New GM or New Chrysler may offer different warranty coverages but their new car sales should be covered under lemon or warranty laws.
Someone (me?) posted a link not too long ago about lemon law checks bouncing as a result of the bankruptcy filing.0

Hey Textkitters
From the comment section of this post http://www.textkit.com/2011/01/hello-world/
, I was inspired by Gregarius to consider a stackexchange Q&A style tool for Textkit.
I installed this morning a php based tool that you can see at http://www.textkit.com/answers/
This style of tool is known for making it very easy to ask and answer questions and unlike a forum which organizes its data around posts, Q&A tools organize around questions and tags. There's even an RSS feed for tags and questions making it easy to follow subjects.
I would be grateful for anyone's thoughts on a tool like this. The feed of answered questions could be placed on the home page of textkit and key tags such as Latin and Greek could be placed elsewhere on the site.
If we adopt this tool, the forum here would need to change as well and turn more to discussion while shifting all questions to the tool.

A year ago, Miguel Cotto came to Madison Square Garden looking for revenge. This year, it's strictly business and he couldn't be happier.
"[Antonio] Margarito stole from me a lot of things in 2008 and I got it back last year," Cotto said yesterday. "This fight, all I want is the belt."
Cotto will challenge Austin "No Doubt" Trout for the WBA junior middleweight championship Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. Showtime will televise. A year ago, Cotto took on Margarito, who was widely suspected of using illegal hand wraps when he beat Cotto into a bloody mess during their 2008 fight in Las Vegas. Cotto got his revenge last year when the referee stopped the fight in the 10th round because of damage to Margarito's eye.
It was a joyous victory that landed Cotto a mega-bout with Floyd Mayweather last May. Cotto, 32, fought well in that bout, but lost a 12-round decision. He comes into this fight confident he'll capture his fifth world title.
"Every year I'm getting older," he said. "I just try to be the best Miguel I can be during my training sessions. On Saturday night, I know I'm going to bring the best Miguel they can see."
Cotto (37-3, 30 KOs) is undefeated in nine fights in New York, and has sold more than 100,000 tickets to those bouts. The popular Puerto Rican will attract a large crowd Saturday in the first boxing event in the building since completion of the second phase of the renovation.
"I think people here enjoy every aspect of my boxing style," Cotto said. "The people here help me a lot. They make me be a boxer when I have to be a boxer. They make me be a brawler when I have to be a brawler. The people here are different than other places.''
Trout (25-0, 14 KOs) is making the fourth defense of his title. The native of Las Cruces, New Mexico, isn't a household name, but expects that to change after the bout. He is a southpaw boxer puncher, who defeated Delvin Rodriguez by decision last June.
Cotto admitted he hasn't seen much of Trout, but is confident in the game plan out-lined by his trainer Pedro Diaz.
"Pedro came to me with the strategy," Cotto said. "I just follow Pedro and what he says."
The undercard includes Brooklyn middleweight Danny Jacobs (23-1, 20 KOs) going against Chris Fitzpatrick (15-2, 6 KOs) of Cleveland, and Jayson Velez (19-0, 14 KOs) of Puerto Rico against Salvador Sanchez II (30-4-3, 18 KOs) for the vacant WBC silver featherweight title.
Tickets priced from $500 to $50 remain available.

Fathead holding video contest for high schools
Fathead, the leading brand of officially licensed sports, entertainment and custom wall graphics, has announced the launch of Fathead's High School Team Video Challenge, in which one high school team will win a Fathead makeover – just in time for the Back to School season.
The High School Team Video Challenge is designed to encourage and cultivate creativity, team spirit and camaraderie by asking teammates to submit a 60 second or less video explaining why their team deserves a Fathead makeover. Videos, which can easily be recorded and submitted on Fathead.com, must be received by October 3, 2012. Fathead will then select five finalists, from which one winner will be decided by public vote.
"We wanted a program that would engage and energize our fans at the high school level and at the same time introduce our custom wall graphic abilities to a new audience," said Abby Pougnet, Public Relations Specialist at Fathead. "This contest is a great way for teams to get excited about returning to school and preparing for their season."
The winning team will receive a Fathead Makeover, consisting of custom die-cut Fatheads for each team member and extras for their school, along with five custom murals of the team in-action. In addition, the winning team will have a featured homepage presence on Fathead.com.
Complete rules for Fathead's High School Video Challenge can be found at Fathead.com.
