AMERICAN CANYON — American Canyon's ambitious plan to remake the areas along Highway 29 in the city — what's known locally as the Broadway District — would produce significant and unavoidable impacts on traffic and air quality, according to a draft environmental impact report.
A blueprint to fully develop the Broadway District foresees the addition of 1,200 new residential units — mostly apartments or condominiums — plus 840,000 square feet of new commercial or office space by 2036.
But adding this many new homes and businesses would create more traffic and air pollution in American Canyon that couldn't be avoided even with mitigation measures factored in.
The draft EIR for this project shows it would generate 1,918 new vehicle trips a day during the afternoon commute. Additionally, the report included information on new traffic loads generated by other developments being considered by City Hall.
These other projects — including Canyon Estates, Napa Airport Corporate Center, Napa Logistics Park, The Village at Vintage Ranch, Valley View Senior Housing, and Watson Ranch — would produce 2,119 new vehicle trips during the afternoon commute.
The Broadway District Specific Plan would also result in important impacts on air quality that couldn't be entirely overcome, according to the EIR.
Despite these negative consequences, the city wants to do more with the dozens of undeveloped or underdeveloped parcels that line both sides of the highway.
Officials see development of these properties as a way to "transform an auto‐oriented highway commercial district into a livable, mixed use, small town neighborhood" and improve the city's image, according to a staff report prepared for the American Canyon Planning Commission.
"It is the face of the city," said Community Development Director Brent Cooper. "Highway 29 is, for good or ill, what will define American Canyon to most people who travel through" it.
The Broadway District is essentially the "front door to our city," Cooper told the Planning Commission on Dec. 13. Making it "presentable in a very positive manner" is key, along with turning it into an "economic engine of our city."
Aside from new residential and commercial opportunities, the plan calls for widening the highway from four to six lanes, and adding bicycle and pedestrian lanes separated from traffic by new landscaping.
The city also wants to lower the speed limit from 55 to 35 mph to "humanize" the corridor, according to Cooper, and help businesses attract more customers off the highway.
The draft EIR, released on Nov. 27, is currently available for public review and comment until Jan. 10. It is available online at the city's website.
As of Dec. 12, the city had not received any comments on the report.
Planning Commission Chair Eric Altman wondered about the wisdom of asking the public to comment on the EIR when the holidays are in full swing.
"Releasing the draft EIR right about Thanksgiving and having the comment period expire shortly after New Years is not the time of year I think the general public is focusing on things like this issue," said Altman.
"So I'm a little puzzled at that timeline," he added. "I understand wanting to get it out quick as possible."
Since no comments so far had come in for a "major development priority for the city," Altman asked if the city should extend the deadline beyond Jan. 10.
Cooper responded by saying comments on draft EIRs often are submitted near or just before the deadline. With several weeks still remaining in the comment period, he said it might be premature to extend the deadline now.
One group did inform the Planning Commission that it would be submitting comments.
Patrick Band, executive director of the Napa County Bicycle Coalition, said at the Dec. 12 meeting that they intend to address "safe options for cyclists and pedestrians" as part of the Broadway District plan.
He also endorsed lowering the speed limit to 35 mph, calling it "a big step in the right direction," as well as adding Class 1 bike lanes along the highway.
American Canyon will need to get the approval of Caltrans to reduce the speed limit. Cooper said the city has kept the agency informed of its plans for the Broadway District.
"The higher level folks [at Caltrans] understand our concepts and the direction we're going, and they agreed it was a good idea" about the speed limit, said Cooper. "But Caltrans is a big agency with a lot of rules so there definitely is a process to undergo."

Updated Oregon-Idaho HIDTA Cannabis Assessment Report Issued
Relevant statistics and data surrounding cannabis in Oregon which are reported by various sources are constantly changing and the Oregon-Idaho HIDTA continuously reviews the information that is made available. As part of the program's continuing review of available, reliable and relevant data surrounding cannabis in Oregon, a noticeable shift in Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) and Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) registrant information for grow sites and producers was identified. Because the new information reflects a fairly significant change from the data reported in An Initial Assessment of Cannabis Production, distribution, and Consumption in Oregon 2018 – An Insight Report which was published last week, the Oregon-Idaho HIDTA has amended previously reported data and has issued an updated report.
Changes from the previous report are summarized below:
- OLCC reported producer statistics are updated and clarified with figures from August 1, 2018 – pages 9, 13, and 15
OMMP grow site statistics are updated and clarified with figures from July 2018 – page 15
Reported grow site to user ratio updated – pages 9, 13, and 16
Info-graphic showing ratio of grow site to users updated – page 16
Essential Elements of Information (EEI) updated – pages 9 and 13
OLCC and OMMP retailer, wholesaler, and caregiver statistics updated with information from August 1, 2018 and July 2018, respectively – pages 9, 13, and 20
Updated technical appendix to reflect new calculations time frame – page 46
All footnotes have been adjusted to reflect the data changes
The updated version of An Initial Assessment of Cannabis Production, Distribution, and Consumption in Oregon 2018 – An Insight Report (8-6-18) is located in the REPORTS & FORMS section of this web site. Previous copies of the report which were released prior to 8-6-18 should be replaced with the new version.

DEA & LINE Task Force Seize Over 76 Pounds of Methamphetamine and Arrest Three Marion County Residents
News Release from DEA Seattle
Posted on FlashAlert: October 6th, 2017 10:25 AM
Eugene, Ore. -- Investigators with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Linn County Inter-Agency Narcotics Enforcement (LINE) Task Force have arrested and charged three Hubbard, Oregon, residents for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine. Rafael Ceballos-Castillo, 49 years old, was arrested on October 2, 2017, and appeared in federal court later that day. His son, Rafael Ceballos Jr., 20 years old, was charged by criminal complaint and is currently in custody on an unrelated state warrant and will appear in federal court when the matter is resolved. Ceballos-Castillo's brother, Jose Ceballos-Castillo, 28 years old, was arrested on October 5, 2017, and appeared on the criminal complaint before Magistrate Thomas M. Coffin. All three men are currently in custody, pending detention hearings.
"Working with our partners led to a significant seizure of methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine being peddled by this organization within our state," said DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge Cam Strahm. "It is the most recent example of our collective efforts to keep Oregonians safe from the insidious nature of drug trafficking and those organizations willing to prey on those battling addiction."
According to the criminal complaints, law enforcement began investigating Rafael Ceballos-Castillo and Jose Ceballos Jr. in July 2017, after identifying Ceballos-Castillo as a methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine source of supply.
On October 2, 2017, Ceballos-Castillo was arrested in Springfield, Oregon, and was found to be in possession of over $50,000 in cash. Later that day, a search warrant was executed at his residence in Hubbard, Oregon, and law enforcement seized approximately 57 pounds of methamphetamine, one kilogram of cocaine, and .45 caliber semi-automatic hand gun. A second residence in Salem, Oregon, was also searched and law enforcement seized over 13 pounds of methamphetamine, over one pound of heroin, and a loaded Smith and Wesson .357 caliber revolver and ammunition. To date, agents and officers have seized a combined total of over 76 pounds of methamphetamine, 2.5 pounds of cocaine, one-pound of heroin, two handguns, drug paraphernalia and a money counter.
"These arrests and seizures are the result of a significant joint investigation by local and federal law enforcement to combat the destruction wrought by methamphetamine abuse in the Linn County community," said Billy J. Williams, United States Attorney for the District of Oregon. "We greatly appreciate the level of cooperation and law enforcement partnerships."
The investigation was led by DEA and the LINE Task Force, with substantial assistance from the Clackamas County Interagency Task Force (CCITF), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Salem Police Department Street Crimes Unit, the Springfield Police Department, and the Hubbard Police Department. The LINE Task Force, which consists of investigators from the Albany, Lebanon, and Sweet Home police departments, the Linn County Sheriff's Office, the Oregon State Police, the Oregon National Guard Counter Drug Task Force and the DEA, was created after the county was designated a High Density Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) in January 2016.
Assistant United States Attorney Joseph Huynh is prosecuting this case. A criminal complaint is only an accusation of a crime, and all defendants should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
FBI, DEA and CODE Join Forces to Take Down Major Drug Trafficking Network in Central Oregon
On Wednesday, September 27, 2017, a joint operation involving the FBI, DEA and Central Oregon Drug Enforcement (CODE) Team resulted in the federal arrest of nine people charged with participation in a drug distribution network operating in the Madras/Redmond area. CODE officers and deputies arrested three others on state charges. Two of those additional arrests involved outstanding warrants; the third was a probable cause arrest for drug and weapons charges. All arrests were without incident. The federal defendants will each make an initial appearance before Magistrate Judge Jolie A. Russo at the U.S. District Courthouse in Eugene at 1:30 pm on Thursday, September 28th.

Police Executive Research Forum Releases Comprehensive Report on the Opioid Epedimic
On September 27, 2017 the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) released a comprehensive report on the opioid epidemic in the United States, The Unprecedented Opioid Epidemic: As Overdoses Become a Leading Cause of Death, Police, Sheriffs, and Health Agencies Must Step Up Their Response.
The following is a brief explanation from PERF Executive Director Chuck Wexler about the report:
As the title of the report suggests, the opioids crisis is continuing to worsen, despite some amazing work over the last few years by police departments, public health agencies, drug treatment programs, hospitals, and many other organizations. The latest numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, released in August, indicate that drug overdose deaths totaled 64,070 in 2016 - a 21-percent increase over 2015. Approximately three-fourths of those deaths involved opioid drugs.
Furthermore, the new CDC statistics confirm what many police chiefs have been telling us: Fentanyl and carfentanil are driving the sharp increases in opioid deaths. In 2016, CDC identified 15,466 fatalities resulting from heroin overdoses, but significantly more deaths - 20,145 - caused by fentanyl or other synthetic opioids.
To put these numbers in context, consider the following:
Drug overdose deaths last year were more than double the number of homicides in the peak year for murders, back in 1991.
Drug overdose deaths were more numerous than automobile fatalities in the worst year ever, back in 1972, when the only safety devices in cars were seat belts.
Drug overdose deaths are also more numerous that HIV deaths in 1995, which was the worst year of the AIDS epidemic.
Drug overdose deaths last year also outnumber American fatalities during the entire course of the Vietnam War.
PERF has been focusing attention on this ongoing tragedy for three years. Since 2014, we have convened three national conferences on the opioids crisis, and the report I am sending you today is our third major report on it.
We keep coming back to opioids because the crisis has not yet peaked. It shows no signs of abating - even though many police and sheriffs' departments are breaking new ground on a daily basis, coming up with new initiatives that would have been off their radar screen a few years ago.
For example, many police agencies today are actively working to get addicted persons into treatment - in some cases, inviting addicts to come to a police station in order to get enrolled in a treatment program. And when a heroin addict has a nonfatal overdose, some departments send police officers and health clinicians to knock on the addict's front door the next morning, to offer help and make sure they know about treatment options and other services that are available.
We are told that addicted persons and their family members truly appreciate these "house calls," because for many people, there is still a stigma to drug abuse, so they can speak more freely in their own homes than they would if they went to a government office to ask for help.
Another major development is the increasing trend by police and other agencies to gather intelligence about overdoses and analyze the information quickly to prevent deaths. If a batch of fentanyl-laced heroin is causing fatal overdoses, police are scrambling to detect it quickly, connect the dots, and issue warnings to prevent further deaths.
Because four out of five heroin addicts began with prescription opioids, not heroin, police also are seeing a new role for themselves in helping to break that pattern, by warning community members about the risks associated with opioid-based pain relievers. The federal CDC agency has produced reports, fact sheets, brochures, posters, and other resources that police can use to educate the public about these risks.
One of the toughest issues about the opioid crisis is what role prosecutors can take to reduce the deaths. This is explored in detail in our new report. Unfortunately, current federal drug laws are not well-suited to support heroin or fentanyl prosecutions. However, we identified certain types of situations where state, local, and federal prosecutors can and should target opioid dealers and distributors.
PERF is grateful to Commissioner James P. O'Neill and the New York City Police Department, which generously hosted our conference in April 2017, and whose officials provided a wealth of information about New York City's sophisticated, Compstat-based opioids reduction program.
Many police chiefs have told us that the opioids crisis is the most difficult issue they are facing in 2017, and perhaps in their career. I hope you will find this report informative and useful as you take on this issue in your agency.

Oregon Coalition Recognized for Preventing Prescription Drug Abuse
The Oregon Coalition for Responsible Use of Meds (OrCRM)—a statewide coalition convened by Lines for Life—has won a national award for Outstanding Prevention, Treatment, or Public Health Effort from the National High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program. Selected from over 150 award nominees nationwide, OrCRM launched in 2013 to reduce abuse, misuse, and overdose from prescription drugs.
"Many organizations and coalitions across the country are working very hard to prevent opioid drug abuse and its tragic consequences", says Chris Gibson, executive director of Oregon-Idaho HIDTA—a counter-drug grant program that aims to identify, disrupt, and dismantle drug trafficking organizations. "OrCRM's unique approach is multi-jurisdictional, multi-disciplinary and regionally based—a design that makes them stand out from other prevention efforts. It's easy for people to get together and talk about a problem, but it's difficult for them to come to consensus on strategies to solve problems and even more difficult to implement those strategies once consensus is reached. OrCRM has successfully worked through these difficulties and is accomplishing the goals that they have set. The Oregon-Idaho HIDTA program is very proud to support OrCRM's work and of this well-deserved recognition."
OrCRM is most well-known for convening broad arrays of stakeholders at statewide summits designed to develop regional-level action plans. The coalition has convened nearly 1,000 stakeholders in five regions across the state. The action plans developed in each region target four key objectives: (1) reduce the number of pills prescribed by improving pain management practices, (2) expand access to treatment services, (3) better disposal of unused meds, and (4) educate healthcare providers the public about the problem.
"In the Portland Metro Area, prescription drugs killed as many people as heroin in 2015 and are frequently the gateway to heroin initiation," says Multnomah County Health Officer Paul Lewis. "OrCRM has become the statewide organizing center for coordinating the needed series of strategies required to defeat this epidemic. We're extremely proud to be part of ORCRM as it receives recognition for its tireless efforts in Oregon."
The coalition has generated action across the state to decrease the impacts of the prescription drug abuse epidemic. Strategies range from health system improvements such as better integration of behavioral health care to deployment of naloxone (a drug that reverses the effects of opioid medications to prevent overdose injuries or death) in rural law enforcement patrol cars.
OrCRM members on hand to accept the award during a ceremony on February 9, 2017 in Washington, D.C were Lines for Life CEO Dwight Holton, Tri-County Health Officer Dr. Peter Lewis, CODA Inc. Executive Director Tim Hartnett, Lines for Life Education and Training Coordinator Donna Libemday and Lines for Life Project Manager Elizabeth White.

Well, it was just as much fun as I imagined! Last Thursday's class was a great bunch of ladies. I think everyone attending had a good time as well. Thanks to all who attended for allowing us to get to know you better.
When I teach culinary classes it feels like I'm flowing downstream, so natural, like I was meant to do this. Maybe it's what is referred to as your "gift". Whatever it is, I am thankful to have my family's support, whether it is fixing my equipment, taking those great photos, or keeping me on track when I'm jumping around four different recipes.
We are looking forward to our next class on April 26, "Wok & Roll". Stir-frying can be some of the healthiest and most creative meals. When I was in chef-training we had to make a meal out of random ingredients someone else chose. My dish was a stir-fry which we had to demonstrate to the class. I'm still creating those dishes, my favorite is finished with a soy-ginger sauce. Can't wait to make it for the next class.

PARTHA SARATHI PAUL Poems
Comments about PARTHA SARATHI PAUL
I Am Inside My Horoscope
I am smiling back
to the smiles of the exalted Jupiter
at the transit to my birth sign
in my otherwise gloomy birth chart.
Its fatherly aspect
in the house of my ascendant
lets me father some wonder arts.
As it is now positioned
along with my birth-time conjunction of Moon and Saturn
I hear the gospels from the divine preceptor
in the heaven of Hindus;
and my retiring melancholy weaves a garland
in the light of the super benevolent guru.
My life is bound to my square horoscope
and I fly like a paper kite in the kind sky.
All the nine ...
A Poetical Scenery
So lovely is the view!
May come as match very few!
Now long put out into pink;
Look, how the sun will idly blink!
Calmly perched on the farthest bank
His mellow beam fills every blank.
The gloaming halo hails the sight,
Never with its too dazzling light!
The wind caressed ripples do giggle,

Andre Berto: 5 Things To Know About Floyd Mayweather's Fight Foe
Floyd Mayweather is gearing up to duke it out with on-the-rise fighter, Andre Berto, in what is guaranteed to be a seriously intense match. Before the two hit the ring, get to know Andre!
Andre Berto, 32, will face his stiffest competitor yet on Sept. 11, when he steps into the ring against iconic fighter, Floyd Mayweather, 38. Andre, who himself is already a two-time welterweight champion, is coming off a brutal shoulder injury, one which has arguably cost him a W in each of his last three fights. Needless to say, there's a ton of pressure on the exciting competitor. Before you watch the two battle it out inside the Las Vegas MGM Grand, here are five facts about Andre!
1. He's jumped around: Andre currently resides in the Bay Area, however, he grew up in Florida. Specifically, he was raised in Polk County, FL, where he first received his all-important training. Andre's family, meanwhile, is from Haiti, and because of this, Andre was granted dual citizenship and is both a legal American and Haitian citizen.
2. He comes from a huge family: Andre is one of seven (!) children. No wonder he had to learn to fight!
3. He has bullies to thank for his career: Andre's father first taught him how to fight as a response to the constant bullying he was receiving at school. Talk about a seriously valuable life lesson! Better yet, as he got older, Andre used boxing as a way to stay out of trouble.
4. Fighting skills run in the family: Andre's brother, James Edson Berto, is a mixed martial artist who has also gone pro.
5. He has had his dreams crushed: Back in 2004, Andre was thought to be a sure thing to qualify for the U.S. Olympic team. However, during the trials, he was ultimately disqualified, for throwing Juan McPherson to the canvas.
So, now we know just a bit more about the dude taking on Mr. Mayweather! Who are you rooting for going into the fight? Team Andre or Team Floyd?

Business organizations are constantly seeking ways to enhance their performances in order to compete actively and aggressively in the market. Profit-seeking organizations have long recognized the importance of creating value in the products and services they offer to the customers all in the common objective to deliver commercial goods efficiently in order to increase the satisfaction of the existing customer-base. Aside from inculcating loyalty among the members of the clients and customers of a business organization, companies are likewise aware of the need to widen and extend the reach of the company's products and services to new markets in order to increase its share on clients and customers. Strategies, plans and techniques in the areas of operations, communication and marketing, sales, supply chin, logistics, research and development, performance measurements as well as social and corporate obligations and responsibility are continuously improved all for the benefit of the target market. Once companies become successful in these organizational and managerial areas, sustained economic development is envisioned. This paper aims to present a discussion that illustrates arguments and debates regarding the importance of the concept of "market-oriented" companies in the current business environment. Existing literatures are reviewed regarding the organizational and managerial characteristics of market-oriented companies along with illustration using a sample company that exhibits the traits and attitude of being a market-oriented business organization.
Characteristics of Market – Oriented Companies
A number of existing literatures indicate the importance of being a market-oriented in the business environment among profit-seeking organizations (1993). These arguments are along with the claims of other experts regarding the limitations of being market-oriented since competing business organizations are likewise implementing market-oriented practices. According to (1988), (1992) and (1995) aside from having the market orientation needed in the business environment, companies should be able to imbibe faster-learning approaches relative to that of their competitors in order to ensure the success of their organization. Business scholars continue to engage in debates regarding the important managerial as well as organizational characteristics that contemporary companies should exhibit to guarantee success.
According to and (1996) organizational learning will ensure the future success of business organizations contrary to traditional inclination and view towards the business organizations' existing resources such as labor and capital as the primary means of achieving the performance goals and objectives of companies within the business industry (1995). Others emphasized that information and knowledge are the main features of economic success (1973). From these arguments and claims it could be assumed that being market-oriented leads to competitiveness in the business arena and...

Rare frog sighting reported atop Mount Washington
Wood frog spotted at summit
Rare frog sighting reported atop Mount Washington
Wood frog spotted at summit
A rare sighting was made Sunday atop New Hampshire's tallest mountain, as a staffer at the Mount Washington Observatory caught a glimpse of a forest-dwelling wood frog.
None of the staff at the observatory have ever seen a frog on the mountain.
The sighting was a sure surprise considering the amphibian, which is primarily native to freshwater wetlands and wooded areas, was found at an elevation of over 6,000 feet.
Wood frogs can grow up to approximately three inches in length. They mainly inhabit areas in the northeast United States, Alaska and most of Canada.
The wood frog is not endangered or threatened.
It's not clear how the frog made its way up the mountain.

"Everything that goes up must come down. But there comes a time when not everything that's down can come up." George Burns
As we approach the last quarter of 2012, I just keep "staying the course" I set for 2012 and start thinking about 2013. The last few months have indeed been interesting. Notwithstanding that the market approached new highs, more and more investors seem less and less sure of what all this means. Should they get on the bull-train or run for the hills?
With the elections and the "fiscal cliff" still looming the picture is incomplete. Will macro fundamentals replace headline moves and if so, when? There are so many differing opinions on where we are and where we're heading it's near impossible to sort it all out.
I do know one thing for certain -- I must separate how I "feel" about things from how I "think" about things. Once I've done that, some clarity surfaces.
So, here's my thinking:
1) The "Bernanke Put" is real. Forget how I feel about it and whether or not it is damaging long term, it does place a floor under the market. I'm just not so sure if the current S&P 1450 is the floor, but I think a 15% to 20% drop to around S&P 1200 may well be the floor.
2) The macro problems are unlikely to resolve themselves within a year and this puts a ceiling on the market. I'm not sure if S&P 1450 is the ceiling, but I think a 15% to 20% rise to S&P 1700 probably is.
3) I will plan for portfolio protection based on these floor and ceilings. I'm more concerned about protecting my portfolio from a 15%-20% drop then accepting that drop and protecting below. I'm willing to "cap" my gains at 15%-20% for 2013.
Here's my plan:
1) For downside protection I will buy a September 2013 $145/$120 bear Put Spread. The $145 put costs $12.08 and the $120 put credits $4.62, for a net debit of $7.46.
2) Buying as many spreads as necessary to protect 130% of my portfolio value. For example, if my portfolio is $300,000, I will buy 27 spreads (27x$144x100= $388,800). Of the 27 spreads purchased, 21 represents the portfolio protection and the "extra" 6 will protect my weekly put sales.
3) Sell six weekly puts to recover the cost of the spreads. The 27 spreads cost $20,142 and that breaks down to about $400/week. That means I want my six weekly puts to generate about 67 cents in extrinsic option value ( 6x.67x100=$402) each week
Now, those familiar with my strategies recognize this technique, with the exception that I added the $120 "floor" to the put. This adaptation is to account for the "Bernanke Put."
Hang onto your hat, because we're not done yet ...
4) Buy a $150/$160 2-for-1 call ratio spread. This entails buying 21 September calls with a strike of $150 at a debit of $6.62 and selling TWICE (42) as many $160 calls with a credit of $2.88 each ... total credit of $5.76. The net debit on this spread is 86 cents/option for a total debit of $1,806.
An explanation is in order. Those that have employed my strategies are aware that setting the strike price on the weekly puts requires some skill. Do you go ITM, OTM or ATM? Mostly you need to go ITM to protect against a rising market and a see-saw market can cause headaches. It would certainly simplify things if you could just set the strike OTM for the extrinsic.
So, by adding this bull-call-ratio-spread, I take a little pressure off of the weeklies. I've covered an up market move from $150 to $160, so I can be more conservative with the weekly sales. In fact, when possible to achieve my extrinsic goal, I'd look to set the weeklies as far OTM as I can and still generate enough extrinsic premium.
This ratio-call spread starts to "give-back" at SPY=$160 and breaks-even at SPY=$170. Thereafter, it is effectively a short of 21 options. I'm not concerned with this from two perspectives:
First, my portfolio would have made the gains and I'm really only capping at an 18% rise ($170/$144).
Second, if SPY does rise above $160, I don't have to reset my $144 put, as the short calls provides the extra protection. In fact if SPY approaches $170, I'll jettison the $144 put altogether and just ride out the short call for protection.
In summary, I'm positioning 100% portfolio protection for a market with a trading range of SPY= $170 to $120. Perfect, it's not, but I just don't like sitting by and trying to figure out what's happening. This at least, keeps me in the game.
One note on margin requirements. The put spread and weeklies requires only the cash debit. If the weeklies are set ITM some very small margin will be used.
The ratio call margin is a different story. The margin requirement is about $1,800 per call, so 21/42 ratio uses about $38,000 in margin.
Also, IRAs can't use ratio calls, as they are, in essence, a spread and a naked call (naked calls aren't IRA available). This can be accommodated by buying a very deep OTM call (at say a $180 strike) and convert the ratio into two separate spreads (or an unbalanced condor, if you want to be picky).
In conclusion: Any investment position invites risk. Proper investing seeks to minimize risk while still allowing for reasonable gains. The strategy proposed here looks to manage risk, within the parameters established, and to do so without suppressing yields to intolerable levels.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article. I buy and sell puts and calls on SPY

'James Holland has written his best book yet, a gripping, yet compassionate account of the terrible war in Italy, with a memorable depiction of civilian suffering.' Antony Beevor
'Impeccably researched and ingeniously structured ... "Italy's Sorrow" is a splendid account of an often overshadowed campaign by a historian who has already given us excellent studies of the Siege of Malta and the Desert War.' Daily Express
'The suffering of Italy's innocents deserves to be commemorated. James Holland's excellent book does that and much more, confirming his place in the first rank of contemporary military historians.' Mail on Sunday
'Assiduously researched, enthusiastically narrated ... it is hard to believe that this will not be the definitive account of the battle for Italy.' Daily TelegraphReseña del editor:
Today Italy is a land of beauty and prosperity but in 1944-45 it had become a place of nightmares, a land of violence, war, and destruction. James Holland's ground-breaking account expertly documents the German advance and a segment of Italian history that has been largely neglected.
The war in Italy was the most destructive campaign in the west as the Allies and Germans fought a long, bitter and highly attritional conflict up the mountainous leg of Italy during the last twelve months of the Second World War. For front-line troops, casualties rates at Cassino and then along the notorious Gothic Line were as high as they had been along the Western Front in the First World War. There were further similarities too: blasted landscapes, rain and mud. For the men who fought there, Italy really was the hardest campaign.
And while the Allies and Germans were slogging it out through the mountains, the Italians were fighting their own battles, one where Partisans and Fascists were pitted against each other in a bloody civil war. Around them, civilians tried to live through the carnage, terror and anarchy while, in the wake of the Allied advance, beleaguered and impoverished Italians were forced to pick their way through the ruins of their homes and country and often forced into making terrible and heart-rending decisions in order to survive.
'Italy's Sorrow' is the first account of the war in that most beautiful of countries to tell the story from all sides and to include the experiences of soldiers and civilians alike. Offering extensive new research, it weaves together the drama and tragedy of a terrible year of war with new perspectives and material on some of the most debated episodes to have emerged from the Second World War. It is a magnificent achievement by one of our finest young military historians.

Superior Quality
What makes cape karoo natural water better?
Cape Karoo Natural Mineral Water starts with two great benefits – its TDS of 190 and its pH level of 7.2.
What do these two numbers mean?
TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids, and a very low TDS can mean that the water will be insipid and tasteless.
A high TDS, on the other hand, will result in water with a very distinct taste. For example, some mineral waters in Europe have a TDS measured in the thousands; they are found at the sort of places referred to as "spas" where the well-heeled travelled to "take the waters". Such high levels are very much an acquired taste.
An ideal level
In contrast, the Cape Karoo TDS of 190 is regarded by many as virtually ideal – high enough to provide a great mouth-feel, but not so high as to be unpleasant on the tongue.
The other important number is the pH, an indication of where the water lies in the balance between acid and alkaline.
The pH scale runs from 0 to 14; battery acid is about 1, lye is 13 and 7 is the magic number – the neutral midpoint.
It is a little understood fact that the pH scale is logarithmic, meaning that a solution with pH 6 is 10 times more acidic than a solution with pH7, similarly a solution measuring pH8 would be 10 times more alkaline.
While there is a great deal of debate at present about the virtues of "alkaline" water, with strong opinions on both sides, Cape Karoo offers the great benefit of being virtually neutral – and as such is one of very few mineral waters in South Africa so perfectly balanced on the pH scale.

Fender / Re: The best Fender combo amp?« on: October 06, 2007, 02:04:15 AM »
I play out of a 4 x10 Blues Deville and a Twin Reverb at the same time or can use either one separtely but I also use a Boss GT-8 effects board I can get any sound I want from this combo. You cant go wrong with either amp. But if you want the best clean sound go with the Twin. The Blues Deville tends to break up faster.
Good luck

A woman who is said to be a graduate of the National University of Singapore (NUS) has earned the ire of netizens after her disparaging posts about students from the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) incensed netizens so much that it found its way to Stomp.
In her posts yesterday, she claimed that ITE students 'cannot study' and hence, should not 'challenge JC students in everything'.
She went on to add that while successful entrepreneurs such as Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerburg were college dropouts, it cannot be used to refute criticism of ITE students being less capable than others.
She said this is because there are varying education systems in different countries and it is akin to 'failures' comparing themselves to 'elites'.
In her posts today, she claimed that she would not hire ITE students to work in her company that is worth millions because, they are 'brainless', and it was not worth taking the 'risk'.
She continued to claim that she was "not jealous" but, "thankful that her firm was in good shape without any morons in it".
She also adds that her posts yesterday were not removed but just hidden, and that she is not surprised that "ITE students can't tell the difference between 'removing' a post and 'hiding' a post".
According to her Facebook page, the woman, 40, is an NUS Engineering alumni, and also studied at Temasek Junior College and Raffles Girl's School (Secondary).
She also added that she had no need to explain her views about ITE students, and that this would be her final post.
The post was no longer visible half an hour after it was put up.

SiteMaster EPC
Produces commercial EPC's onsite, process all calculations and vastly reduces survey and process times
In Detail:
SiteMaster EPC has all the capabilities of SiteMaster Building but with the capability of IsBEM added. The energy assessor takes measurements using the Leica laser measure (See D3a BT or D8 Pages) which then beams the measurement directly to a CAD plan on the hand held device (See Archos 9 page) using Bluetooth to create a complete CAD pan of the building all on site.
When entering the measurements of each element the assessor is prompted to enter characteristics of that element via a drop down system. The software will assume that all element types (walls, windows, doors etc) are the same as the previous; this eliminates the need for multiple entries through a single click, or the ability to enter new materials when needed. The assessor is also prompted to enter HVAC, hot water and lighting details. Once an area or complete building is measured the assessor clicks the corners of each zone and clicks each element symbol to associate that element with the selected zone. The software then auto fills IsBEM, should an internet connection be available the EPC can be completed onsite. The application has the added ability to attach photo's, voice notes, manual notes and documents to specific location on the plan.
The user can dramatically reduce their workload due to the software auto filling IsBEM eliminating the need for manual calculations and by producing the EPC onsite, whilst survey times can also be reduced without the need to write down individual measurements.
Who is SiteMaster EPC for:
Commercial Energy Assessors Level 3 and Level 4. The Energy assessor with the use of the software can also offer:

This project, developing an instrument referred to as CloudCar, aims to build a cloud-based infrastructure to monitor and collect data about drivers, vehicles, and road conditions. The type of data to be collected includes driver's biometrics (eyeball tracking, heart rate, blood pressure, and EEG brain wave analysis), sensory data from the vehicle, traffic data, and sensed data about road condition. The collected data is analyzed in the cloud and used to enable a wide spectrum of applications, including assessing drivers' behavior and ability to drive, the "health" of the vehicle, dissemination of information about road conditions to prevent accidents and road congestion, and vehicular crash detection and notification.
The basic equipment requested includes cloud servers, software and tuning tools, the OBD-II and CAN software/hardware, a number of 14-channel EEG equipment for the alpha, beta, and gamma wave analysis during driving, EEG headbands, and mobile devices. AvaCars will be developed to allow researchers and application developers to access information about virtual cars. This work extends current infrastructure to include the cloud for real-time monitoring and feedback. A successful integration of the cloud into the system has great potential to enhance the accuracy and reliability of the system.
The proposal raises multiple research questions and establishes research directions that can be pursued to address these questions when the proposed infrastructure is made available. The following research activities will be pursued:
The proposed instrument can greatly impact the capability to assess and/or improve the driving performance of people with disabilities, senior citizens, teen drivers, physiotherapists, and proper physical exercises. Overall, the project contributes to personal and road safety, optimized fuel consumption, and energy-efficient localization. The project incorporates the use of the infrastructure in the curricula of the different institutions involved. Course content, focused on cloud computing and vehicular communications, will be developed and tailored to computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and cognitive science programs at participating departments. The research team will build on their existing outreach and educational programs to attract diverse undergraduate and graduate students and involve them in the MRI project.

In addition to non-proliferation and other national security issues, LANL has a responsibility to assist in the transfer and commercialization of energy and science innovations to the commercial sector. LANL's efforts in tech commercialisation, now nearly 30 years on, have produced mixed results. This is due partly to the vagaries of government funding, but is also due in a large part to a misunderstanding on the part of industry in the difference between an invention and a product, and between bench scale prototypes and manufacturable goods. Add to this conflicting and often irreconcilable differences in its dual mission, and successful technology transfer and commercialisation is difficult at best.

The Most Thoughtful Unusual Wedding Gifts
You purchased all your white goods aeons ago, the department store gift lists aren't piquing your interest and it still seems a bit unceremonious to ask for money in a card, so what's a bride-to-be to do?
With a selection of unusual gifts to choose from guests will no longer have to suppress a sigh as they glance over your wedding gift list - they can select something that they're as excited to buy as you are to receive. Just be sure to include items at a variety of price points to ensure there's something everyone can afford.
Jo Malone Bridal Lace Bottle Collection
We fell head over heels for these special edition Jo Malone fragrances, adorned with a beautiful bridal design, and can think of no more appropriate perfume to pop on your gift list.

Sure, this gift won't be hugely appealing to your husband-to-be, but just think how beautiful it will look on your dressing table, acting as a constant reminder of your big day.

This unusual wedding gift idea is available in 10 of Jo Malone's best loved scents, with the choice of three different lace patterns. You can even have the bottle engraved with your brand new initials, ready for post-wedding day spritzing.
National Trust membership
Don't be fooled by the picture, we're not suggesting you add a stately home to your gift list - just a membership to National Trust.

By asking for membership to National Trust as a wedding gift, you'll actually be asking of a year's worth of special memories of days out and trips away, all set against stunning scenery.

If stately homes and picturesque gardens aren't your thing, a museum or art gallery membership would be equally rewarding for a dose of culture in your first year as newlyweds.
Personalised fire pit
Add this fire pit from Not On The High Street to your wedding gift list and you'll never spend a chilly night in the garden again.

It may be an unusual wedding gift, but imagine cosying up next to it as the summer nights draw in, or roasting marshmallows above the flames on bonfire night.

Plus, your husband to be might even enjoy earning man points by creating the fire and keeping it stoked all night long.

The fire pit can even be personalised with your name and wedding date along the stainless steel legs.
Travel guide books
A great unusual wedding gift idea for guests with a smaller budget is to ask for travel guides for your honeymoon destination.

The guides will serve as one of the most useful things you'll receive, and allows you to cross buying them off your 'to do' list.

This gift idea is especially handy for those going on a mega-moon taking in all sorts of different destinations round the world. Feel free to request guides for places that are on your travel bucket list too, for travel inspiration throughout your married life.
Personalised laser-cut art
For fans of home decor, this personalised laser-cut art from Not On The High Street is the ideal wedding gift.

Your initials along with the date of your wedding are added in, acting as a lovely memory of your day AND an artful way to remind your partner when your anniversary is, without having to drop hints.

The tropical design is bang-on trend, adding a modern vibe to your home without overhauling your whole interior.

Five year memory book
Document the first five years of married life with this adorable memory journal from The Present Finder.

Each page features five slots for you to note down what you've been up to that day on five consecutive years, allowing you to revisit the past five years and compare how your life together is changing and evolving.

This unusual wedding gift is a cute and cost effective item to add to your gift list, and will serve as a nostalgic way to keep track of your adventures as husband and wife.

Pandora Family Roots Charm
We think this Family Roots Charm from Pandora is the perfect unusual wedding gift to request from your brand new in-laws.

Designed to fit on the Pandora Moments bracelet, this charm features a family tree design, and can be opened to reveal the inscription "family forever."

This sentimental charm is a lovely addition to your Pandora bracelet as a reminder of not only your wedding day, but your new family too.

Cinema tickets
If your house is full to the brim with keepsakes, photo frames and vases it may be worth asking for presents to help you enjoy your married life together instead, such as cinema ticket vouchers.

While paying off your wedding day credit card bills, forking out for a night at the flicks may well be the last thing on your mind, so adding cinema tickets to your wedding gift list is a fantastic idea, and frugal too for cash-strapped guests.

It doesn't matter if you get multiples of this unusual wedding gift either - you'll be set for cinema tickets for months going forward!
Oliver Bonas marble alphabet coaster
If you're keen to add a personal touch to your home, these Oliver Bonas marble alphabet coasters are a great addition to your gift list.

Marble is a key trend in the interiors world, and with the individual element these make a lovely unusual wedding gift - and just think, there will never be a mug ring left on your coffee table again.

Just be sure to specify the initials you're after - you don't want last minute guests flinging unrelated alphabet letters into their shopping basket on their way to the wedding!
A Le Petit Ballon subscription
Can you think of anything more dreamy than receiving two bottles of wine to your front door each month? Nope, us neither, which is why we're particularly taken with the idea of asking for a subscription to Le Petit Ballon as an unusual wedding gift.

No more will you agonise over wine choices in the alcohol aisle at the supermarket, or have to sip on a less than sumptuous bottle of Sauvignon blanc; Le Petit Ballon mails you each month with two bottles of wine carefully selected to match your profile, chosen by Jean-Michel Deluc, former Sommelier at The Ritz.
Jane Hartley wedding dress illustration

Guests then choose which piece of the trip to treat you to – whether that's £500 towards the flights, £50 for a night in a beach-hut or £5 for a couple of beers.

NEW YORK (AP) — Enough New York police officers stopped writing tickets and making low-level arrests in the weeks since two officers were fatally shot that the number of summonses plummeted 90 percent, the city's police commissioner said Friday.
But William Bratton said the problem at the nation's police largest department is on the mend and the numbers are already going back up.
"I would describe it as a slowdown," Bratton said. "They never stopped working, 911 calls were responded to, arrests continued to be made, crime continued to go down."
Numbers for low-level arrests like fare beating in the subway and public drunkenness were down by half and summonses for criminal activity were down more than 90 percent after the Dec. 20 shooting deaths of Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu in their patrol car.
The officers were targeted by a mentally unstable man who vowed online to kill two "pigs" in retaliation for the deaths of black men and boys at the hands of police around the country. The shootings caused a growing rancor between the rank and file and Mayor Bill de Blasio to boil over, as dozens of officers turned their backs on him at the hospital, and then thousands did at the funerals for the officers.
There had been chatter of a deliberate slowdown because of the startling change in police statistics but Bratton did not confirm it until Friday, after he had taken a comprehensive look. He said he didn't know the cause of the slowdown, but he has said he realizes morale among some officers is low.
Bratton said he doesn't believe the slowdown affected safety and noted crime remains at historic lows. No officers were facing discipline.
"I don't think it's warranted," he said. "I'm very mindful of the extraordinarily stressful situations that the officers in the city found themselves in last month. And so we'll work to bring things back to normal."
One officer was suspended for insubordination during the period but it wasn't directly related to the slowdown.
Bratton said no police union gave any official instruction to slow police action. He met this week with the union leaders, and with borough chiefs to discuss the issue. "To encourage them to get out to the roll calls and start encouraging officers, now that we're out of the funerals and demonstrations, to get back to normal activity," he said.
The low enforcement activity prompted some to question Bratton's signature crime-fighting tool known as "broken windows," where low-level offenses were targeted to prevent more serious crime. But Bratton said Friday it had no major impact.
"The whole thesis of 'broken windows' is if over time you don't address an issue, over time it will create a larger issue," he said.

Blue Goose Chicken Stock
Now available at all Sobeys Ontario locations.
This simple belief was the inspiration that drove us to purchase our first acre and animal back in 1992 in Cariboo, BC. A belief that if you choose patience over short cuts, and choose to do what's right over what's easy, the end result is not only healthier animals, but a cleaner, higher quality product for you and your family.
When we looked at the whole process from ranch to grocery store, we decided to do something a bit different. We knew we would only be happy if the standards we applied to the raising of our cattle were also applied to every other step in the process.
To accomplish this, we decided to engage in what is called "Vertical Integration", a practice of owning every step in the process. For Blue Goose, this meant not only controlling the raising and feed of the cattle, but also building our own Abattoir (where the cattle are humanely processed) packing our own beef, and shipping our own product to retail. Today people call this "farm to plate" but for us, we just called it "doing the right thing". In our view, it was the only way we could guarantee a Blue Goose quality product to our consumers.
Since our founding, we've gone from raising pasture fed cattle in BC, to growing antibiotic and animal by-product free organic chicken and fish in Ontario. We've expanded from one family owned cattle ranch in the remote regions of BC, to chicken and fish farms stretching across Ontario. While we've grown as a company, our rooted beliefs and values remains the same.
Our very first cow and acre
Doug founds Blue Goose cattle in Cariboo, BC after deciding the only way he could guarantee his family clean protein is if he raises the cattle himself.
Doing something differently
After trying a variety of different ways to raise the best possible cattle, we decide to start controlling every aspect of the process from the farm to the fork. The result? Well, you'll have to try it and tell us!
Hello Whole Foods!
Recognizing the quality of Blue Goose cattle, Whole Foods opens its shelves in Vancouver to Blue Goose beef.
A new mission is born
As Blue Goose prepares to expand its cattle business, we decide to focus the company on a bigger mission: making humanely raised protein accessible to everyone
Blue Goose welcomes Meeker Aquaculture to the family
Blue Goose expands into organic & natural rainbow trout by taking on a new partner in Meeker Aquaculture: a pioneer in fish farming with more than 30 years of experience.
Blue Goose chicken launches in Ontario and Atlantic Canada
Blue Goose expands into organic & natural chicken by partnering with select farmers in South Western Ontario who are raising antibiotic and animal by-product free chickens.
Now available at all Sobeys Ontario locations.

I'm grateful for these small reminders that I am loved. I am honestly filled with such pride and honour that someone took time out of their day to write something for me- no matter how small.
The story behind that photo is just that I was feeling stressed and tired one day and I had to leave the room for a moment (for whatever reason, probably something stupid like needing a tissue) and in the time I was gone, my boyfriend had opened my book to the page I was writing on and written that. He was the best boyfriend I've ever had because he took the time out of his day to let me know how he felt in ways like that :) it's one reason why I love one million lovely letters so much- because someone has taken the time to remind you of why you're special xx

Good Morning =)
I have been slightly absent from blogging this last week, all due to the excitingly overwhelming response I've had to Designs By Ashley Rock: 12x12 Scrapbook Sketches Volume One being released! On a side note-- if you make any layouts using a sketch I have posted you are more than welcome to post it, share it and please feel free to post it onto Designs By Ashley Rock's facebook page ;) I absolutely LOVE to see what creations have been made using these sketches!!
Onto Today's project--- A couple of weekends ago I got together with a group of great scrapbook/card friends for a fun lunch get together, and it also happened to be one of the ladies in our groups birthday (Sherry!). So early that morning when facebook {thank you, facebook}
reminded me it was Sherry's birthday I knew I had to throw together a card! With her being such an amazing card maker herself I must say I was a bit intimidated in making a card for her and with the lack of remembering until the day of, time was not on my side! But I did manage to pop out this creation:
Materials Used:
*6x6 pad- My Minds Eye: Lime Twist, Life Of The Party
*Vanilla Cardstock (Bazzill)
*Prima Flower

Winter is by far my favourite time of year in terms of wardrobe. I'm definitely a magpie, so I love when all the sparkly clothes start to fill the shops up. I love coats, scarves and hats and, of course, a good jumper. Layering is essential during a Scottish winter, so I try to stick to a muted palette that can be mixed and matched with as many pairs of jeans, skirts, coats and accessories as possible.
From the beginning:
- White Cable Knit – Ralph Lauren
- Cream Turtle Neck – Primark
- Cream Cable Knit – H&M
- Camel Cable Knit – H&M
- Striped Knitted Jumper – Marks & Spencer
- Grey Ribbed Jumper – H&M
- Grey Cable Knit – Topshop
- Grey Wool Cardigan – All Saints
- Grey Turtle Neck – Primark
- Grey Fleece Jumper – Topshop
- Grey Crew Neck – H&M
- Grey Zip Jumper – H&M
- Navy Cable Knit – Vero Moda

Today is my one year 'Runniversary'. Now to a lot of people it may appear I have not advanced much and I'm certainly not in the league of those doing marathons and halves.
However let me take you back a year (Scooby Do style wibbly screen)
Week 1 Run 1 60 seconds of running. I did this in the gym because I was too scared to go outside in case anyone saw me or laughed at me.
I nearly didn't complete it. 60 seconds felt like a lifetime!
But I persevered and graduated in June. I made it outside (with a struggle!) and completed a 10km at Blenheim in October (albeit very slowly).
Then it all went pear shaped. My knee hurt a bit and I rested it. That rest went on to January this year when having put nearly a stone back on in weight I decided to get back out there with Jantastic.
I saw a physio for my knee. She 's a runner and gave me encouragement and exercises to do plus I now do strength work in the gym and a body balance class which have helped my knee.
I am now running 8km 3 times a week and am faster (though not much) than last October. I say hello to all the friendly dog walkers and other runners in the park and even have time to look at the wildlife...(though I did nearly kick a squirrel by accident this morning).
I've not really lost the weight but have trimmed up some inches and feel so much better.
The upshot is whether you are just starting out on C25K or having a break it's worth sticking it out or coming back.
I've got 2 10Ks booked (with super speedy husband - who just goes out and does 10km without breaking sweat - gnashes teeth) and hope to enter the Oxford Half Marathon in October.
Lots of plus points but today a gentleman stopped me on my way out of the park and told me how much he'd seen me improve. Made my day!
And the new 5 weeks to 5k initiative that This Morning have just launched. I can watch it and say been there done that, instead of staring longingly at the screen wishing I could run.
This is all down to C25K, Laura, dodgy music and you lovely people. ( Though I don't post much I love hearing everyone's stories)
Thank you!
