The Porcupine Health Unit with the City of Timmins has notified the public about higher than normal levels of lead, arsenic and antimony in the surface soil in various areas of Hollinger Park.
We acknowledge the potential risk of the presence of heavy metals however, want to reassure users that we do not expect any adverse health effects from exposure to the soil from normal use of the park.
While the levels found are above what would be found in most parks, they are well below those found in many similar communities in Ontario and Canada with metal smelters or past mining activities.
There are precautions visitors can take when visiting the park to reduce exposure while the City undertakes a more comprehensive assessment:
If you have any questions about the potential risks to your health, please contact the Porcupine Health Unit at 705-267-1181 or 1-800-461-1818.

This was one buffet Ron Jeremy wasn't attending. Actually, it was a get together at The Sportsmen's Lodge for friends and professional associates of the late porn director Fred Lincoln.
Lincoln was a thin man with a raspy voice and rock star hair who started out with the idea of being an actor on the legitimate stage.
Before he got into porn, Lincoln managed an iconic role in the horror film Last House on the Left, a Seventies drive-in flick which should serve as a warning to any young woman who's thinking about buying marijuana from a stranger.
Lincoln's one creep in a quartet of creeps who make a family's life a living hell. In the end, Lincoln's character "Weasel" Podowski gets his dick bit off. A moment which served as a starting point for a eulogy delivered by Bill Margold who shared a similar experience in a porn movie.
Margold went off on a discussion about chorizo sausages, so you had to be there to experience the full gist.

Generating electricity from the oceans has been widely discussed for 40 years. Time and again attempts have been made to harness the both wave and tidal power, usually with little success. However, with advances in engineering in the past few years, the oceans have become an economically feasible source of energy.
The World electrical energy market is at $800-billion-a-year(US) and rising. It has been estimated that " there are 2 billion people who still lack electricity today, and the world demand in developing countries is doubling every eight years" (World Watch Institute, May 1997). In order to meet that demand, while limiting production of green house gases, renewable energy sources must be developed.
The sea has long been seen as a source of energy. In the middle ages (1200-1500 AD) farmers used to trap sea water in mill ponds and use it to power water mills as the tide dropped. Over the last fifty years, engineers have begun to look at tidal and wave power on a larger, industrial scale. However, until the last few years, particularly in Europe, wave power and tidal power were both seen as uneconomic. Although some pilot projects showed that energy could be generated, they also showed that, even if cost of the energy generated was not considered, there was a real problem making equipment which could withstand the extremely harsh marine environment.
In the late 1990s, it has become clear that technology has advanced to the point where reliable and cheap electricity from the oceans is becoming a real possibility. The UK will have its first electricity supplied to the national supply by the year 2000, and other countries are seriously considering doing likewise.
Europe, and in particular the United Kingdom, are looking again at wave power. A recent review by the government has shown that there are now types of wave power devices which can produce electricity at a cost of under $US0.10/kWh, the point at which production of electricity becomes economically viable. The most efficient of the devices, the Salter Duck can produce electricity for less than $US0.05/kWh.
The Salter Duck was developed in the 1970s by Professor Stephen Salter at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland (email email@example.com) and generates electricity by bobbing up and down with the waves. Although it can produce energy extremely efficiently it was effectively killed off in the mid 1980s when a European Union report miscalculated the cost of the electricity it produced by a factor of 10. In the last few years, the error has been realised, and interest in the Duck is becoming intense.
Operation of the Salter Duck
©1996 Ramage
The Clam is another device which, Like the Salter Duck can make energy from sea swell. The Clam is an arrangement of six airbags mounted around a hollow circular spine. As waves impact on the structure air is forced between the six bags via the hollow spine which is equipped with self-rectifying turbines. Even allowing for cabling to shore, it is calculated that the Clam can produce energy for around $US0.06kW/hr.
Where the shoreline has suitable topography, cliff-mounted oscillating water column (OWC) generators can be installed. OWC systems have a number of advantages over the Clam and the Duck, not the least of which is the fact that generators and all cabling are shore-based, making maintenance much cheaper.
The OWC works on a simple principle. As an incoming wave causes the water level in the unit's main chamber to rise (see diagram), air is forced up a funnel which houses a Well's counter-rotating turbine. As the wave retreats, air is sucked down into the main chamber again. The Well's turbine has been developed to spin in the same direction, whichever way air is flowing, in order to maximise efficiency. Although most previous OWC systems have had vertical water columns, that in LIMPET is angled at 45° - which wave tank test show to be more efficient.
OWC schematic
OWC machines have already been tested at a number of sites, including Japan and Norway. A commercial-scale (500 kW) installation is due to be commissioned on the Scottish Island of Islay in September 2000. The Islay OWC (known as LIMPET) is a joint venture between Queens University, WAVEGEN, Instituto Superior Técnico (Portugal), the European Union and Charles Brand Engineering. It is the direct successor of an experimental 75 kW turbine (built by researchers from the Queen's University of Belfast) which operated on the island between 1991 and 1999. Another LIMPET is currently being developed (at pilot-plant scale) on the Azores.
Construction of OWCs
One of the great problems with shoreline-based OWCs is their construction, which must necessarily take place on rocky shores exposed to wind and waves. In the case of the prototype Islay OWC system it was relatively easy to build a temporary dam on the shoreline to protect the unit. However, LIMPET is a much larger system, with a lip 20m wide. It was therefore ultimately decided to build the unit back from the coastline and remove a bund to make the system fully operational (see figure, below).
Installing an OWC unit
However, both OWC-systems and ocean-wave systems suffer from trying to harness violent forces. The first Norwegian OWC was ripped off a cliff-face during a storm, the Islay station is completely submerged under storm conditions. Thus, researchers are looking at other ways of generating electricity from the ocean, and are increasingly turning to tidally-generated coastal currents.
Over the past forty years, there has been constant interest in harnessing tidal power. Initially, this interest focused on estuaries, where large volumes of water pass through narrow channels generating high current velocities. Engineers felt that blocking estuaries with a barrage and forcing water through turbines would be an effective way to generate electricity. This was proved by construction of a tidal barrage at St. Malo in France in the mid 1960s. La Rance tidal power plant still provides 90% of Brittany's, and a major refurbishment program (due for completion in 2007) means it will continue in operation well into the new millenium.
Despite the success of La Rance, no other major tidal barrages have been built since, due in some part to environmental concerns. Barages present a barrier to navigation by boats and fish alike; reduced tidal range (difference between high and low water levels) can destroy much of the inter-tidal habitat used by wading birds; and sediment trapped behind the barrage could also reduce the volume of the estuary over time. By the early 1990s, interest in estuarine-derived tidal power had largely ceased, and scientists and engineers began to look at the potential of tidally-generated coastal currents instead.
As tides ebb and flow, currents are often generated in coastal waters (quite often in areas far-removed from bays and estuaries). In many places the shape of the seabed forces water to flow through narrow channels, or around headlands (much like the wind howls through narrow valleys and around hills). However, sea water has a much higher density than air, meaning that currents of 5-8 knots generate as much energy as winds of much higher velocity. In addition, unlike the wind rushing through a valley or over hilltops, tidally-generated coastal currents are predictable. The tide comes in and out every twelve hours, resulting in currents which reach peak velocity four times every day. Two rival technologies -- tidal fences and tidal turbines -- are now being developed to catch the energy of these currents.
Coastal currents are strongest at the margins of the world's larger oceans. A review of likely tidal power sites in the late 1980s estimated the energy resource was in excess of 330,000 MW. South East Asia is one area where it is likely such currents could be exploited for energy. In particular, the Chinese and Japanese coasts, and the large number of straits between the islands of the Philippines are suitable for development of power generation from coastal currents.
Tidal fences (see figure 1) are effectively barrages which completely block a channel. As discussed above, if deployed across the mouth of an estuary they can be very environmentally destructive. However, in the 1990s their deployment in channels between small islands or in straights between the mainland and island has increasingly been considered as a viable option for generation of large amounts of electricity.
A Tidal Fence
The advantage of a tidal fence is that all the electrical equipment (generators and transformers) can be kept high above the water. Also, by decreasing the cross-section of the channel, current velocity through the turbines is significantly increased.
The first large-scale commercial fences are likely to be built in South East Asia. The most advanced plan is for a scheme for a fence across the Dalupiri Passage between the islands of Dalpiri and Samar in the Philippines, agreed between the Philippines Government and Blue Energy Engineering Company of Vancouver, Canada in late 1997. The site, on the south side of the San Bernardino Strait, is approx. 41 m deep (with a relatively flat bottom) and has a peak tidal current of about 8 knots. As a result, the fence is expected to generate up to 2200 MW of peak power (with a base daily average of 1100 MW).
Once given final government approval (expected before the end of 2000), work will begin on a 4km-long structure designed to withstand typhoon winds of 150 mph and tsunami waves of 7 meters. The Dalupiri Ocean Power Plant will utilize 274 ocean-class Davis Turbines, each generating from 7MW to 14 MW. However, the $US2.8 billion project is just the first phase one of a much-larger proposed Build Own Operate Transfer (BOOT) project that will be transferred to the Philippines after 25 years. Used to generate large scale renewable energy, the San Bernardino passage could help the Philippines to become a net exporter of electrical power.
The modular nature of the Blue Energy Power System allows for power to be generated in the fourth year of the project, with the installation of the first module in the chain, which gradually increases to full capacity by project completion in year six. Once begun, this project will be one of the largest renewable energy developments in the world.
Tidal turbines are the chief competition to the tidal fence. Looking like an underwater wind turbine they offer a number of advantages over the tidal fence. They are less disruptive to wildlife, allow small boats to continue to use the area, and have much lower material requirements than the fence.
Tidal turbines function well where coastal currents run at 2-2.5 m/s (slower currents tend to be uneconomic while larger ones put a lot of stress on the equipment). Such currents provide an energy density four times greater than air, meaning that a 15m diameter turbine will generate as much energy as a 60m diameter windmill. In addition, tidal currents are both predictable and reliable, a feature which gives them an advantage over both wind and solar systems. The tidal turbine also offers significant environmental advantages over wind and solar systems; the majority of the assembly is hidden below the waterline, and all cabling is along the seabed.
There are many sites around the world where tidal turbines could be effectively installed. The ideal site is close to shore (within 1 km) in water depths of about 20-30m. Peter Fraenkel, director of UK-based Marine Current Turbines, believes the best sites could generate more than 10 megawatts of energy per square kilometer. The European Union has already identified 106 sites which would be suitable for the turbines, 42 of them around the UK. Further afield, Fraenkel believes the Philippines, Indonesia, China and Japan could all develop underwater turbine farms.
Fraenkel intends to deploy a commercial-scale prototype turbine off the southwest coast of England in the summer of 2001. It will generate 300 kW (enough to power a small village). Although the cost of energy from the prototype turbine will be $US0.10/kW, costs will drop as the technology matures. Fraenkel hopes that the first "turbine farm" (£MW) will operational by 2004 and aims to have 300MW capacity being installed every year by 2010.

Wave power (and tidal power) are beginning to come into their own. They have many benefits, including:
Clearly there are still technical difficulties to overcome, but in the next few years, countries will begin to see wave power connected to national supplies. It will be a big market.

Homes that have a great curb appeal fetch exceptionally good prices when they go on the market. Curb appeal is not just about replacing vinyl siding on your home, but beautifying your entire property. So what projects can you undertake to make your home stand out in Brampton?
Start With the Driveway
Any real estate agent knows that a home with an edged driveway looks beautiful and elegant. Materials such as bricks, pavers and stone are perfect for this job. You could also bring your old asphalt blocks to life with a little colour. You can keep the edging level with the driveway or raise it to keep your lawn safe.
While you're still focusing on the driveway, go ahead and add some lights. Lights that lead your guests to the entry door after dusk not only keep them safe but also make the home more inviting and friendly. These lights coupled with proper landscaping can give the home a near perfect curb appeal. Solar lights are usually ideal for this project.
Invest in Nature
A home with a garden that is well maintained will always be appealing. Start with planting flowers along the sidewalk then go ahead and invest in a front garden. You can even plant some of them inside flower boxes if you do not have enough room for a garden.
Change Your Garage Door
Your home's garage door is one of the first things people can see from a distance. Unfortunately, many people only go with what is functional. Installing a new garage door with a commanding presence is what your home needs to look beautiful. Look for an engaging design or one with vibrant colours. Alternatively, you could get one that matches your window treatments. Remember, getting such a door also helps you save energy while making your home safer.
Upgrade Basic Hardware
There are numerous items at home that many people tend to overlook. Things such as broken locks and rusty light fixtures make your home look old. In real estate, selling such a home is quite hard. Luckily, you can transform it into a masterpiece by upgrading the small things that are out of place or look old. Get new locks, new lighting fixtures, and a decorative house number. A new modern mailbox can also be handy when it comes to improving curb appeal.
Bringing your old home back to life is not hard and expensive as many people imagine. By embracing these basic ideas, you will be able to boost its curb appeal and thus make it possible to get a good offer should you choose to sell your home in Brampton.

A chill wind is sending shivers through the American economy. And the whole world is turning apprehensive that the Reagan honeymoon is over, ending its agreeable stimulus for the global economy.
Let me try to separate fact from fear.
To begin with, the first year and a half of the United States recovery was a strong one - strong for Main Street, USA, but also unusually strong for the Pacific Basin, Europe, and the developing regions. But strength has turned recently to weakness. The second half of 1984 sees a real growth rate here of around 2 percent per annum, a fall from the first half's 81/2 percent growth rate.
Secondly, the growth in job opportunity, which turned so many Democratic voters toward the Reagan camp, ended last spring. If the President's second term begins with a recession - as only a minority of economic experts think to be likely - the unemployment rate will rise. If the present torpor (called a ''growth recession'' because the US economy in the last half of 1984 grew more slowly than population and productivity trends make our potential GNP growth) should continue into 1985, this will cause a rise in the unemployment rate.
Also, corporate profits are beginning to erode. This is not lost on the stock market where equity prices languish. The early autumn deceleration in production growth made me expect for the first time in this recovery a weakening of interest rates. And that is happening.
The dollar remains overstrong from the standpoint of competitiveness for American manufacturers. Much of our stimulus continues to leak abroad.
My earlier prediction that the Reagan electional victory will do little for America's colossal fiscal deficit is looking to be all too accurate. Treasury Secretary Donald Regan has, surprisingly, let his tax specialists put together a Democractic Party reform bill, one that splendidly reverses the thrust of first-term Reaganomics. The supply siders are livid. Conservatives are mobilizing their lobbying clout in opposition. Once it is explained to the President what his Treasury is proposing, he is sure to repudiate the program explicitly or tacitly. I hope I am wrong in this, but I think it a 5-to-1 probability.
Finally, the winds of inflation remain quiescent.
On the evidence, I'd consider an American recession unlikely in 1985. Our hidden card is the Federal Reserve, which in my opinion has both the will and the ability to offset any natural weakness in the private economy.
As a result I am hopeful concerning the 1985 world outlook - even if not quite so sanguine as estimates prepared by the Wharton World Economic Outlook during the autumn. These show US gross national product (GNP) and selected world gross domestic product (GDP) growth rates (correcting for inflation):
* The US goes from a 3.7 percent GNP in 1983 to 6.7 percent in '84. Wharton projects a 3.5 percent GNP in '85 and 3.1 percent in '86.
* European GDP averages 1.2 percent in '83 and 2.3 percent in '84. Wharton projects a 2.1 percent European GDP in '85 and 1.1 percent in '86.
* Japan shows a 2.9 GDP percent in '83 and 5.4 percent in '84. Wharton forecasts a 3.8 percent GDP for Japan in '85 and 2.5 percent in '86.
* Developing countries average GDP rates of 0.2 percent in '83 and 2.7 percent in '84. Their GDPs are estimated to be averaging 3.5 percent in 1985 and 3.1 percent in '86.
Why not figure that weakness today means outright recession some months from now?
First, sampling surveys show consumers still are confident.
Second, real interest rates have already fallen significantly since mid-1984. If auto sales and new orders weaken further, we can expect interest rates to fall still more. My reading of the housing market is that reductions in mortgage rates can still coax out some extra housing starts.
Third and most important, the last several American recessions had marked clearly on their bottoms: MADE IN WASHINGTON. Those recessions were countenanced and contrived in order to fight against accelerating inflation.
At present, there is no double-digit price inflation in America. With OPEC still weak and plagued by supply surpluses, there is no credible resurgence of such inflation on the intermediate-run horizon.
Therefore, the Federal Reserve should have the will to lean against any recessionary winds that may blow up. Equally important, this time it faces an economy that still has the strength to be able to benefit in enhanced output from engineered money stimulus.
Wall Street in mid-1982 welcomed Fed chairman Paul Volcker's shift toward monetary ease. A similar campaign in early 1985 by the Federal Reserve to grapple with any apparent weakening of the economy, I suspect, would also meet with money market approval and reinforcement - rather than with fear that the Fed has turned soft on the issue of inflation containment.
A strong bond market will help the ailing stock market. It will bring down mortgage rates, and that will help housing to revive. Life can be brought back to the mid-1980s expansion. The economy is not yet in deep trouble.
In sum, Reaganomics did not produce the earlier strong recovery. The disillusionment with Ronald Reagan's policies that has already begun is not sufficient to weaken the US and world economy.
What is good advice for policymakers in America also applies abroad. The governments in Japan and Europe do have the elbow room to resist any tendencies toward slumps that might occur in 1985.
Governments abroad should exercise their latent powers. It is not prudent policy to depend always on the US for stimulus.
It is ironic that a conservative American president blundered into massive Keynesian expansionism. But economics is too serious a business to be left exclusively to statesmen and ideologues.

Shares in Apple Inc. set yet another all time closing high on Friday, ending the day at US$648.11, up $11.77 (+1.85 percent), on heavy volume of 15.8 million shares trading hands. The stock was propelled by continued speculation about new products at the company's September 12th media event and a price target bump from Peter Misek of Jefferies & Co.
AAPL Chart for August 17th, 2012
Source: Yahoo! Finance
Mr. Misek raised his price target to $900 per share from $800 after checks with Apple's suppliers suggest the company is ready for the oft-rumored, much speculated iPad mini. Those checks also suggest that the iPhone 5 will also make an appearance at the September media event.
Apple hasn't announced said media event, but the company did confirm it after online reports said an event would be held on September 12th. Since then, much speculation has ensued on what exactly Apple is going to announce, with the iPhone 5 and iPad mini both having near-universal consensus, with a side of Apple TV thrown in for good measure.
Speaking of Apple TV, Mr. Misek said that Apple is busily producing its first television, even though recent rumors have said that Apple is shying away from a full television set in favor of a full featured settop box.
Nonetheless, shares in AAPL have increased some 59 percent in calendar 2012, a huge increase that has made the company the most valuable corporation on the planet. The company's market capitalization is $607.5 billion, well ahead of #2 Exxon Mobil, with a paltry market cap of $408 billion.
AAPL's intra-high of $648.19 per share was also set on Friday, and this followed the previous closing high of $646.34 set on Thursday.
*In the interest of full disclosure, the author holds a tiny, almost insignificant share in AAPL stock that was not an influence in the creation of this article.

When we grow up, we want to be Cheryl Cole.
Why? Because she's flawless. Simples.
The X Factor judge , who will make her big return to the talent show this year, shared a barefaced selfie on Sunday morning. And she still looks perfect.
The brunette beauty spent the night before partying with pals in South Africa. But apart from her slightly dishevelled hair, you'd never tell.
In the snap, Chezza has one eye shut as she stares painfully into the camera.
"I woke up like dis... ***Flawless" she captioned the snap, which she posted on Instagram.
We get the feeling the Geordie lass was in fact trying to suggest that she looks less than flawless.
Which she doesn't.
And her fans agree,
"How can someone be this perfect?" wrote one.
"Even perfect people get hangovers," added another.
The ombre-haired beauty jetted out to South Africa over the weekend after making a dramatic appeal on Sport Relief for malaria aid .
The Fight for this Love singer caught the disease only a year after making a fund-raising ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro to help beat it, and almost died.
In a video message, she said: "When I climbed Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief five years ago it was honestly one of the hardest things I've ever done.
"The motivation lay in knowing it could help in eradicating malaria and ultimately saving lives by providing mosquito nets.
"I didn't for one minute think that only a year later, I would get malaria myself and become so ill that, at one point, I was given 24 hours to live.
"It was the scariest thing you could ever imagine for me and for my friends and family. The pain I felt and went through, it's what so many people go through, all because they don't have a mosquito net which could save their life.
"I was lucky, I had the best care I could get. Some people are not so lucky. A £5 mosquito net could keep a child safe and really does help.
"In 2009 when I climbed Kilimanjaro a million kids a year were dying of malaria. Now five years later it's 150,000 less per year. That's 150,000 kids saved, so we are beating malaria.
"But there are hundreds of thousands who still need our help. Sport Relief money goes to helping provide mosquito nets to help the people that need it most.
"I've decided to speak out about this again now because having experienced it, it's obviously very close to my heart and I want people to know how easy it is to help."

I have a 18x36 free-form pool with a INFINITY 4000 on it supplied by PCS and have never had these problems with the ropes. I have had the pool for 20 years and have only had to replace the cover 3 times, but never had to replace the ropes. They are a great company to work with and are very knowledgable when comes to pool covers.
ScaredOfPools wrote:I live in MD and my wife wants a pool but I don't. I've heard horror stories from others about pool installation as many people who work in this industry are over priced morons after our money. Given this, it doesn't surprise me that there are horror stories about Coverstar pool covers.
If we get a pool, then I want a pool cover rather than a fence. However, I know these things are maintenance nightmares. What I'm trying to figure out is if Coverstar is really any worse than other pool covers. They advertise about how special their ropes are so it doesn't surprise me that they cost a bunch to replace. It also doesn't surprise me that there are a bunch of monkeys out there that do it wrong the first time then charge an arm and a leg to fix it.
If you guys had to do it again, would you get a different pool cover, a different contractor or no pool cover at all?

It produces a red orange dye from its molecules,which is a natural secretion,that gives us the brick red color. The leaves of this shrub has a pleasant natural fragrance with Medicinal properties.
The word comes from the Arabic name hina(حــنــا) . The leaves are used in henna application. It is used as a dye for hair, nails, lips, decorating skin and even in dying silk and woolen clothes as a preservative.
The leaves are either grind ed to a paste or dried and powdered for using in this application. Its natural ingredient Hennotanic acid is vital for nourishment of hair.the oil extract from its flowers is used in perfumery.
The henna acts as a heat reducer for our body and head. It is also an antibacterial, anti-hemorrhagic and anti-fungal agent. It is used in treating skin problems like sun burns and skin boils and inflammation It is also used in…
Today it has become a main ingredient in ladies shampoos. But it is still popular only as beautifying agent.
Mehandi is the Ancient art of applying henna for decorating our body. It gives an ethnic embroidery to our skin in special occasions.The artful use of this fragrant natural red dye is largely feminine.
In most Islamic countries henna application is reserved for EID, Weddings, Pregnancy and Birth, Occasional parties. While in others as everyday beautification.
In Western and American countries it is a trendy "things to do" among everyone and among teenagers. They apply as tattoos as small designer y logos, by using different Colors. These are temporary tattoos and they change often to new trendy designs.

"The body is more honest. And at this kind of basic level, all people are the
same. So that's why when you're designing for mass production, the designer
should focus more on what the body knows." – Naoto Fukasawa
Naoto Fukasawa was born in Yamanashi, Japan, in 1956 and graduated from Tama Art University in 1980. His career began at Seiko Epson, where he designed products such as wrist TVs and mini printers using micro-technology.
In 1996, Fukasawa opened IDEO's Tokyo office. In addition to acting as a design consultant to many major Japanese companies, he also held a series of workshops for young designers called "without thought." The idea behind them, says Fukasawa, "is that people think that design is something that appeals to their emotions, but in fact people are linked to things every day in their environments, unconsciously, without even being aware of it. This 'unthinking' state makes actions smooth. Whereas, if we think closely about what we're doing, our actions become awkward or wooden. Designs that make us feel this kind of simplicity don't stand out, but entwine with people's actions and with the environment, too."
In 2003, he established Naoto Fukasawa Design. Fukasawa still enjoys working with young designers and currently teaches or lectures at several institutions, including Musashino Art University, Tama Art University, and Tokyo University Graduate School.

Although there aren't many who haven't heard of Etsy, we're willing to bet there are a few who are still in the dark about Big Cartel. There are just as many talented artists at Big Cartel waiting with their handmade goods!
Big Cartel isn't strictly handmade items, though all goods have been designed by the artist who's selling them. Some might have had their work printed for them on t-shirts or have custom toys designed, but for every artist who's having their goods shipped in, there are 5 more who spend their nights holed up in the basement screen printing color after color.
Here are a few of our favorite finds, though there are so many to choose from it's a hard choice! Do you have a Big Cartel store? Maybe a friend? Ordered from a Big Cartel artist before? Leave us a link in the comments and give us the low down!
• Brain Wash Soap: There are so many fun soaps in this shop you'll consider stocking up! $9.95 from Luxury Lane Soap
• Gumball Solid Color Recycled Silk: So many colors of yarn, silks, fabrics of all sorts! for $9.49 from Darn Good Yarn

UNDER certain circumstances, companies can rely on their websites and blogs to meet the public disclosure requirements under Regulation FD, according to new guidance unanimously approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission today.
The move is significant as it could cut disclosure costs for many companies that today use paid PR wire services to distribute their disclosures. It could also encourage companies to make investments to improve their investor relations websites and facilitate the use of blogs for communications with investors.
Previously, the SEC held that corporate websites could only be used as part of the disclosure process, but with the new guidance corporate websites or blogs can now be the sole means of disclosure. The SEC began studying the issue in late 2006 after Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz called the news release requirements an "anachronism."
Is it a big step, or little step forward?
According to the staff's statement, the guidance "addresses circumstances in which, for certain companies under certain circumstances, posting non-public material information on a company's web site, in and of itself, may be a sufficient method of "public disclosure" for purposes of satisfying the alternative public disclosure provision of Regulation FD."
Companies will need to consider "whether the company web site is a recognized channel of distribution and whether the information is 'posted and accessible' and, therefore, 'disseminated.' As part of that evaluation, companies also would need to consider their web sites' capability to meet the simultaneous or prompt timing requirements for public disclosure under Regulation FD."
Until we have the full interpretive release — expected within the next week or so — it remains unclear to me what specific conditions a company will have to meet to rely on website or blog postings. It also seems that there may be requirements for advanced notice to be provided when companies plan to use their websites or blogs for scheduled disclosures such as earnings releases.
Commissioner Paul Atkins, attending his last meeting on the commission, said company managers would still be taking some risks using their websites or blogs under Reg. FD. He characterized the guidance as "a step forward."
However, Chairman Chris Cox called the new guidance "a big step forward for investors."
Liability for blogs, no duty to correct others' comments, and linking outside
The new guidance also addresses several topics that I wrote about in my preview of today's meeting. There is further guidance on links to third-party information; guidance for summary information and archives; and clarification of companies' liability for third-party information and comments on company blogs and discussion forums.
Importantly, while the new guidance says that companies and their employees are liable for information they post on blogs and discussion forums (not really news), they have no duty to correct inaccurate information posted in comments on their sites by third-parties.
In terms of links to third-party information, the new guidance "suggests, among other things, that companies explain the context for the hyperlink to make clear why the hyperlink is being provided, be aware that selective choices to hyperlink to specific third-party information may indicate that the company has a positive view or opinion about that information, and consider using other methods to denote that the hyperlink is to third-party information."
In addition, the guidance clarifies that information posted on company websites is not generally subject to rules under the Sarbanes Oxley Act relating to a company's disclosure controls and procedures, except where the SEC's rules specifically require information to be posted on company websites, such as waivers to companies' codes of ethics or insider transaction disclosures.
Unless required, online documents need not mirror printed ones
Finally, and what I believe may be the most significant part of the release, is new guidance that says web-based disclosure documents do not have to be in "a format comparable to paper-based information, unless the Commission's rules explicitly require it."
That is a welcome clarification and could encourage companies to be more innovative and creative in how they present their disclosures online rather than merely dumping documents in PDF or image-based documents that mirror the printed documents.
John White, director of the SEC's division of corporation finance, said the new guidance was intended to promote "more innovation, more creativity, more use of interactive technology on company websites and that they become more user-friendly for investors."
MySpace, LinkedIn, Facebook, Blogs, RSS roll off Cox's tongue
If you are in any doubt about what the commission is seeking to achieve with the new guidance, I thought Chairman Cox's opening remarks were particularly interesting. This must be the first time an SEC chairman has used the words blogs, Atom, RSS, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and MySpace all in a single breath. Here's my transcript of part of his opening statement from today's webcast:
Ongoing technological advances in electronic communications have increased both the market's and investors' demand for more timely company disclosure and the ability for companies to capture, process and disseminate this information to market participants.
Indeed, one of the key benefits of the Internet is that companies can make information available to investors quickly and in a cost-effective manner. The use of electronic media is arguably superior to providing company information the old way. It's a better way to provide information to most investors since today it can be presented in interactive format that allows each individual to click through or drill down to the level of detail that's appropriate to him or her.
The Internet has changed a lot since 2000 which was the last time the commission provided comprehensive guidance on this topic; the use of the Internet and electronic media. Back then the idea of the web as a social network was still being developed and websites such as MySpace, YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook didn't even exist. The idea of creating a social network where shareholders could meet and exchange views was barely imaginable. Blogs hadn't really entered the public lexicon. And syndication technologies such as Atom and RSS were still in development.
But as each of these technological developments has taken hold in the marketplace, that in turn has raised new securities law issues for companies to consider. Technological advances and the reduced costs associated with the implementation of technologies over time, now allow the inclusion of more interactive and current information on company websites than was the case previously. That's moved websites beyond being just electronic filing cabinets for electronic documents. Today, company websites are being shaped by the market's desire for highly current and interactive information.
We recognize that allowing companies to present data in formats different from those dictated by our forms or more technologically advanced than Edgar can be a significant help to investors.
As an aside, you may also be interested to see that the SEC now is using Twitter to dis
tribute its news releases.
Once the full release is available, I will spend some time to go through it and assess what the practical implications are for IR website managers. Check back or subscribe to our RSS feed or email alerts. Oh, and we're on Twitter here http://twitter.com/IRwebreport

Games at 7 p.m. Saturday
Fletcher (13-4-3) at Mandarin (12-4-4): These longtime area rivals have never met in regional play before. Mandarin has a shot to make the program's first regional championship appearance, but the Mustangs must go through a Fletcher team eager for revenge after a 2-1 overtime defeat in last week's district title game. The Senators are 3-1 against Mandarin in their four previous meetings this season.
Fleming Island (19-0-2) at Lecanto (17-5-1): Fleming Island is gunning for a third consecutive regional final appearance behind stellar play from senior keeper Katie Nimitz, who has posted a whopping 20 shutouts for the Golden Eagles, allowing just one goal in 21 games. Four-time regional champion Fleming Island will have the edge in experience against Lecanto, which has never advanced beyond this round before.
Bartram Trail (17-3-2) at Ponte Vedra (22-2-1): Led by Brooke Sharp (31 goals, 16 assists), reigning state champion Ponte Vedra is 2-0 against the rival Bears this season, including a 3-2 victory in last week's district championship. Bartram Trail could benefit from the return of injured playmaker Sam Patterson but will likely be without starter Becca Palmer, who suffered an ankle injury in warmups Wednesday.
Episcopal (13-8) at Bolles (17-7-1): This is the ninth time in 10 years these rivals have met in regional play, and Bolles holds a 7-1 edge in those previous meetings. Sue Anderson (13 goals), Chelsea Burns (9 goals), Maggie Ely (7 assists) and the rest of the Eagles aim to break that cycle. The Bulldogs will need a balanced game from top scorers Maddie Kulik (13 goals, 13 assists), Megan Block (15 assists), Naomi O'Leary (11 goals) and Lindsay Turnbach (12 goals) to produce another victory.
Keystone Heights (19-3-1) at Ocala Trinity Catholic (16-2): The Indians have never scored on Trinity Catholic in three previous regional playoff meetings, the most recent an 8-0 loss in 2009. But Keystone Heights has a solid attack - led by Madison Colaw (38 goals, 19 assists), Raychel Trimble (23 goals, 14 assists) and Morgan Gibbs (19 goals, 14 assists) - that aims to reverse that trend.
St. Johns Country Day (20-1) at Oviedo Master's Academy (14-3-1): The reigning state champion Spartans have ousted Master's Academy in this round the last three years. St. Johns' defense, which has allowed only 12 goals, will have to handle a dangerous Eagles attack led by Danielle and Bella Garzon and Kimmy Graue. Playoff-tested seniors Ellen Crist (25 goals, 23 assists) and Mallory Bane (30 goals, 17 assists) lead the offense.
