* Emirates National Oil Company refinery uses Iranian condensate
* Refinery supplies Dubai airport via pipeline
* Oil not considered Iranian under sanctions once refined abroad
By Daniel Fineren
DUBAI, April 23 (Reuters) - Fuel made from Iranian oil is legally powering thousands of flights a year out of Dubai's booming airport, despite U.S. pressure on buyers to shun Tehran's petroleum exports.
It may even fuel U.S. allied military jets in the Middle East.
Washington and the European Union have slashed Iran's exports in half over the last year by leaning on importing countries to find alternative feedstock for their refineries.
Meanwhile, close U.S. ally Dubai, long a major user of Iranian light oil known as condensate, continues to process tens of thousands of barrels a day at an Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC) refinery, according to oil industry sources and shipping data.
ENOC then pumps the resulting fuel to Dubai airport, the world's second busiest.
ENOC's chief executive declined to comment this week on how much Iranian oil the company was still importing and ENOC media relations did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
U.S. and European companies are not allowed to buy any Iranian refined oil products, under tough sanctions imposed by Washington to force Tehran to stop its nuclear activities.
But any airline is free to use fuel made from Iranian oil in other countries, because once it passes through a refinery outside Iran it is no longer considered of Iranian origin under sanctions.
"In our view jet fuel from an Emirati refinery is Emirati jet fuel, it is not Iranian no matter what it was made from," a U.S. government official in Washington said.
ENOC says it is the largest provider of jet fuel at Dubai International Airport (DXB) and that its portfolio boasts a growing number of military customers.
One such customer is the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) which supplies planes at the Al Minhad airbase near Dubai, a hub for U.S.-allied forces in the Middle East.
"DLA Energy does contract with ENOC International Sales, LLC to supply jet fuel to Al Minhad Air Base," a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Defense said. "The contract was let in August 2011. This contract expires in August 2013."
It is not clear whether or not some of the fuel ENOC supplies under contract to the DLA come from ENOC's Jebel Ali refinery near Dubai. A western government source said ENOC also buys some fuel produced in refineries in Bahrain and Kuwait.
ENOC did not comment on whether some or all the fuel it supplies to the DLA is produced at Jebel Ali.
But ENOC's website says most of the jet fuel it supplies to the airport is pumped through a 60,000 barrel per day (bpd) pipeline from the refinery, and demand at the world's fastest growing airport is rising so much that it is laying a second pipeline.
Iran exported about $7.5 billion worth of condensate from its main export facility at South Pars in the year ended March 20, 2013, according to Iranian media reports.
ENOC was the biggest buyer of Iranian condensate in 2012, when its imports rose to an average of 127,000 bpd, according to analysts' estimates.
An executive order issued on July 31, 2012, gives U.S. President Barack Obama the option to impose sanctions on buyers of Iranian condensate, but only if the U.S. believes there is sufficient alternative supply to permit a significant reduction in volumes from Iran.
ENOC announced in February it had secured about 20,000 bpd of condensate from Qatar to feed its 120,000 bpd refinery and said it was working to find more alternatives.
The company has not announced further substitution deals, suggesting it has not yet found long-term alternative supplies.
Ship tracking data on Reuters shows a vessel able to carry around a million barrels of oil shuttles between the refinery and South Pars once a week. A full tanker would carry enough to run the refinery at capacity for about a week.
With shrinking export options, traders say Iran is likely to be selling its condensate fairly cheaply, helping ENOC offset multi-million dollar loses it has to take because it is obliged under UAE law to sell gasoline at a subsidised rate.
Dubai has been a key trading partner for Iran for decades, but the UAE is also one of Washington's closest allies.
The UAE is the largest export market for the United States in the Middle East, with Dubai flagship airline Emirates alone having placed a $24 billion order with Boeing in 2011, according to the website of the UAE Embassy in Washington.
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is touring the Gulf this week, with the U.S. close to finalizing a deal to sell the UAE 25 F-16 Desert Falcon jets worth nearly $5 billion.
Unless ENOC can find another 100,000 barrels per day of alternative supplies at competitive prices, the opening of a second pipeline due later this year could take more fuel made from Iranian oil into the tanks of international airlines.
The existing pipeline can carry around 9.5 million litres of jet fuel a day - enough to fill up 44 Boeing 747s a day or 16,000 a year, although most routes do not use a full tank.
ENOC is not the only jet fuel supplier, because its refinery and existing pipeline are not big enough to meet demand at DXB, where an average of around 470 flights a day took off in 2012.
Several western oil companies also supply jet fuel to the airport - Royal Dutch Shell, BP and Chevron - but they say they source it outside the UAE and in full compliance with sanctions on Iran.
Some U.S. and European airlines said they do not use ENOC when they call at Dubai, with some having global purchase deals with other suppliers.
But for many of the 130 airlines flying into Dubai, the fuel derived from Iranian oil that ENOC offers is indispensable. (Additional reporting by Timothy Gardner in Washington; Editing by Anthony Barker)

I have a lot of mess to clean up
I just noticed (rather late I would say) that all the posts I had transferred over from posterous don't have any images any more.
I thought that when I transferred my posts to WordPress, I also transferred the images, but it turns out that I was hugely mistaken, so now I have a bunch of posts that don't have any photographs at all… This is terrible annoying. I will have to go through each and every one of my 637 posts to edit and delete… Boring!
Anyway, I just felt like sharing that with whoever reads this.

The markets of late have found all kinds of reasons to love exchange traded funds, and at tax time, one of the reasons to love ETFs becomes crystal clear: tax efficiency.
If a mutual fund enjoys a capital gain when selling off an appreciated stock, holders are on the hook with the IRS for paying the capital gains tax regardless of whether they sell or whether the fund's share price has gone up or down since the holder bought it. But while taxes can wipe out as much as two full percentage points for mutual fund investors in the highest tax brackets, such losses are very unlikely to happen in the world of ETFs, says registered investment advisor Russell Wild, president of Allentown, Pa.-based Global Portfolios.
"The bottom line is that when somebody owns an ETF, typically there are little to no pass-through capital gains on portfolio turnover" compared with a mutual fund, explains Adam Patti, chief executive of the Rye Brook, N.Y.-based ETF firm IndexIQ. "There are still long-term or short-term capital gains on an ETF when you buy or sell, that doesn't go away, but if you have a mutual fund and you're down 10% for the year, you could still have a pretty big tax bill on that fund if there was a lot of turnover in the fund and some of those positions made money. The ETF structure eliminates some if not all of those pass-through capital gains."
Michael Iachini, managing director of ETF research at Charles Schwab Investment Advisory (left), notes that stock and bond ETFs are the easiest ETFs to figure from a tax perspective, and the simplest way to deal with the tax consequences is to invest in ETFs that don't distribute dividends. Gold or other precious-metals ETFs, on the other hand, result in a higher tax rate on long-term gains for collectibles, Iachini says.
And then there are the commodity ETFs that use futures, which are affected by contango and backwardation.
"ETFs that use futures are structured as limited partnerships, and the partnerships get more complicated," Iachini said in a phone interview. "There's this weird rule from IRS Publication 550 about how gains you get are treated as 60% long term, 40% short term under these commodities partnerships that have K-1s. That's good for you if your gains are short term, but bad for you if they're long term, because you'll still have to count some of them as if they're short term. You need to know what you're getting into, otherwise you might be surprised when you get a K-1."
Here are the essentials to keep in mind for ETFs at tax time:
The Basics
Advisors should keep in mind that ETFs that generate income—whether interest, dividends or capital gains—are best kept in a tax-advantaged retirement account, says Wild, a registered investment advisor certified by the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) and author of Exchange-Traded Funds for Dummies.
"You'll eventually need to pay income tax on any money you withdraw from those retirement accounts, but it is generally better to pay later than sooner," writes Wild, who primarily uses ETFs to build his clients' portfolios, in a recent blog post.
In the case of a Roth IRA, "which is often the best case of all," you will never have to pay taxes on the earnings, the principal, what is in the account, or what you withdraw, Wild adds. "Try to put your ETFs or mutual funds that have the greatest potential for growth—REIT ETFs are great candidates—into your Roth IRA."
The Tax-Efficient Way to Go: Stock and Bond ETFs
Iachini of Schwab notes that stock ETFs are more tax efficient than stock mutual funds because the ETFs tend not to distribute a lot of capital gains. Index-tracking ETFs don't trade very frequently, and the way ETF shares are created and redeemed gives an ETF manager some flexibility to reduce capital gains.
"Dividends and interest payments received via ETFs are taxed just like income from the underlying stocks or bonds, with the income being reported on your 1099 statement. Profits on ETFs sold at a gain are taxed like the underlying stocks or bonds as well: current 15% maximum rate on long-term gains and ordinary income rates on short-term gains, topping out at 35%," Iachini writes in a March 30 note, "What to Know About ETFs and Taxes."
Collectibles and Commodities
Precious-metals ETFs backed by the physical metal itself, as opposed to futures contracts or stock in mining companies, are structured as grantor trusts. Under current IRS rules, trusts that hold precious metals are viewed as collectibles. With precious-metals ETFs, the rate on long-term gains is the collectibles tax rate, which currently tops out at 28%, according to Iachini.
As for ETFs in commodities such as oil, corn or aluminum, these funds use futures, and the use of futures can have a big impact on a portfolio's returns due to the effects of contango and backwardation, he says.
"Another noteworthy tax feature of ETFs that hold commodity futures contracts is the 60/40 rule. This rule, from IRS Publication 550, states that any gains or losses realized by selling these types of investments are treated as 60% long-term gains (currently taxed at a maximum rate of 15%) and 40% short-term gains (currently taxed as ordinary income, at a maximum rate of 35%). This happens regardless of how long the investor has held the ETF," Iachini writes.
The 411 on K-1s
ETFs that use futures are structured as limited partnerships, so they report shareholders' share of partnership income on the IRS's Schedule K-1 instead of Form 1099. Iachini notes that some investors worry about K-1s because they're more complex to handle on a tax return, they might arrive late, and they might incur unrelated business taxable income (UBTI) that may be taxable even within an IRA.
"People hate K-1s," IndexIQ's Patti asserts. "If you buy a mutual fund or an ETF fund, you get a 1099 on those products, and you get that on time, and you file it, and that's fine. But with a hedge fund, you're getting a K-1, and typically those come out late. You have to file taxes by April, and you might not get your K-1 until June. The time varies, but they're notoriously late."
Commodity ETFs over all have a track record of sending K-1s in a timely manner, though admittedly sometime after most 1099s are available, and without generating UBTI, Iachini says. "K-1s are indeed more complex to handle on a tax return than 1099s, but professional tax preparers or well-informed individuals who do their own taxes should be able to handle K-1s correctly," he writes.

Tombstone Tuesday - Alice and Edward Quirk
Alice died in 1915. That's 45 years before her husband. I thought that I had blogged Alice's obit previously, but I'm not seeing it on my blog. I'll have to look again when this flu bug gets out of my system and if it turns out I didn't, then I'll have to rectify that. It's a very sad story (as death usually is), but I will only touch on it today and save the details for when I'm more coherent.
Alice died shortly after giving birth to their second child. The child also passed soon after birth. My grandmother, Mary Alice Quirk, was their first-born. Edward never remarried and he and his daughter lived with his brother and sisters. Her aunts and uncle raised her like their own daughter and she had a good childhood.
The year Edward passed away, my grandparents lost their fourth child, a daughter, Ann. She is buried with Alice and Edward. Their tombstone is located in Saint Gabriel's Roman Catholic Cemetery in Hazleton, Pennsylvania.
I like sharing information about Alice. I don't have a lot of it, but when I first began my genealogy research and I ran across others researching the Blanchfields, there were more often than not family trees that had Alice married to someone besides Edward or not married at all. I felt like I was actually able to help fit some pieces together for some people conducting their research. I know I always appreciate it.
I feel a special connection with Alice. I don't know why. Perhaps it's because I feel for my grandmother having lost her mother when she was tiny and it makes me realize how lucky I am to have my mother even as an adult.
Until next time, have fun tending those roots!

Partnerships for the Department of Education's
Teaching American History Grants
Since 2001, The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation has successfully partnered with over 115 rural, urban, and suburban school districts participating in the U.S. Department of Education's Teaching American History Grant Program. We have provided a six-day immersion experience in early American history for teachers during the Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute in Early American History. Many of these teachers return to their districts as the peer/mentor teachers. In addition, we have also provided one- and two-day conferences in school districts in which teachers have the opportunity to meet character interpreters, analyze primary sources including facsimile documents and reproduction objects, and receive a variety of classroom instructional materials ranging from facsimile documents and objects to digital media.
Colonial Williamsburg wants to make the planning and implementation of your programs as easy as possible. For programs in the Williamsburg area, our Teacher Development staff will make arrangements for rooms, meals, local transportation, and educational experiences, tours, and curriculum.
By partnering with Colonial Williamsburg, teachers will
- Acquire accurate and current historical content
- Discover new and innovative instructional strategies to make history engaging and relevant.
- Receive lesson plans and primary sources that are for ready use in the classroom
Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Development has a proven result of helping teachers
make history engaging and interesting for students. At the conclusion of a
three-year grant with 32 teachers who attended the Teacher Institute and 269
teachers who attended Teaching American History Conferences in the Philadelphia
school district and four surrounding counties, a participant survey indicated
• 96% of the teachers increased their early American history content knowledge
• 94% of the teachers learned new instructional strategies to teach American history
• 96% of the teachers became more effective in presenting historical knowledge to their students
• 98% of the teachers stated that their use of historical content, teaching strategies, and educational materials has made the study of American history more engaging and interesting for their students
• 95% of the teachers increased the use of primary sources in their classroom
• 95% of the teachers state that their teaching of American history is more interactive
We would like to work with your district and achieve the same results. Please contact us at [email protected].

The recent release history for games featuring Sega's mascot has been a tumultuous one. But the blue speedster continues to lure players in with hopes that the new games will channel in some of the charm and challenge of olden times.
According to multiple sources — GameRanx, Official Nintendo Magazine UK, VideoGamer and Nintendo Everything — that cycle will likely start up again with new digital and boxed titles that will be hitting next year. Speaking originally to Toys 'n' Playthings Magazine European head of brand licensing Sissel Henno said:
"We will have several new digital titles launching as well as a new boxed game, so there will be plenty of opportunities to link martketing campaigns across games and merchandise."
No further details about the in-development games were divulged but it seems entirely likely that Sonic would find a home on the Wii U and 3DS. Maybe even the Vita, too.

For those who are put off by the interactive UI part of Factor, you can run a script from the command-line like so
#! /Users/leto/git/factor/factor -script
USING: gsl gsl.sf.result gsl.sf.bessel gsl.sf.log kernel tools.test ;
"gsl.sf" test
Note the space after the ! is necessary because every "word" in Factor must be separated by a space. The practice of running factor as a non-interactive script is not encouraged, but in certain situations it wins the day. The above script could be factored to take an argument of a subsystem to test and then I would make a key-binding in vim (or emacs or whatever) so that when I am editing a file and I type ,t it shows me the results of that subsystems tests.
All of this stuff can be done in the interactive UI, but I think people will fiddle with Factor more if they can easily bolt it onto their current workflow. People tend not to even try things that require totally changing their current tool chain. For me, I am editing the source of the GSL bindings in VIM, so having that script is invaluable. I hack on the source and whenever I change anything important I run the tests by hitting 2 keys. It is really important to make running and writing tests as easy as possible, or they won't get written at all.
Today ...... is a good day to hack.

Fort Fortica Starigrad
The whole rich and detailed history of piracy clearly represents Fortress Fortress, along with the fort or Mirabela Peovica. Fort Fortica located at the very top of Dinara. For the piracy that was very important, because from one place could monitor a large area both on land and at sea. Specifically from the tower Fortress offers a view of the town, the canyon of river Cetina on the islands of Brac, Hvar and Solta, then the mean Poljica. The purpose of the fort was a defense against the enemy. Fortica is primarily used as a shelter in case of Omis was encircled with a fortress to threw a large rock boulders that destroyed the entire city, and thus to destroy the enemy. Today we can be proud that this has been and what we can enjoy the delights of this beautiful Dalmatian town. From the city center you can reach the fort well maintained trail with signs, so there is no fear that you will lose. To the fortress can be reached on foot from the city, through the settlement Baučići and climb the fort for 20 - minutes and enjoy the view.
Fortress Mirabela
Protected areas located within the boundaries: from the chapel of St. Nicholas River Cetina river to the new bridge, Uluch Fošal coast to the town harbor, up the walls Trijun u8ključujući town cemetery and ramparts, the ridge of the hill Spee, the northern side of the fortress Peovica to Sv. Nicholas on the river Cetina.Thus fenced part of Omis is a medieval part of the city which was surrounded by city walls with towers of the fortress which is the highest Peovica final part, and dates from the 13th century. Buildings of this part of Omis indictments of 16 to 19 century and Renaissance styles include folk architecture from the 19th to century. The very role of the fortress Mirabela Peovica or was reconnaissance.The fortress overlooks the entire old part of the city, Punta and Priko, but also to the entire channel of Brac. It is then for the locals It provided outstanding protection from the enemy, and we all know how strong the Omis pirates were. Very environment allows fortress patrol the entire city and the space is nicely decorated. The castle consists of four floors and exit to the top with a beautiful view.
Parish Church of St. Michael
The parish church dedicated to St. Omis. Michael. It was built in the early XVII. Century, as evidenced by an inscription in Latin on the side door. The bell tower was completed in the XVIII. Century. The church was built by local builders, and combines features of Gothic, Renaissance and early Baroque. In a niche above the lavish stone entrance is a statue of St. Michael and rose windows. The church walls are the coats of arms of the Venetian nobles of the city of Omis. Stone emblems can be seen on the houses of wealthier families, and portraits of prominent nobles of altarpieces in the church.
River Cetina
River Cetina is one of the most beautiful places in Croatia where you can experience the magic of rafting adventures. Situated in a spectacular end to the towing her name, is still dragging through its canyons and through countless towns and hills that are slowly rising above it. Many of the stories circulating about the origin of its name. Emerged over the centuries some of the stories are still isolate from others, such as the story states that the first Croats, descending from the northern parts of Europe to the warm southern Dalmatian, found the river that it is extremely reminiscent of "Cetyniu" river that flows through the south of Poland, their last nomadic dwelling. A more izvjesnija story in which the Cetina got its name from the Latinized name "Kenton", which her tribe okrstilo Dalmata. Then the Croats were quick to name "croatised" in Cetina. This is an area of great historical and archaeological importance. On its slopes rights blagfa archaeological sites. Axes from the stone age, shields of Roman legionnaires, personal items of medieval peasants, all of this and many more archaeologists in discovering the rocky and mud cetinskome. Confirmation of your time and especially the importance it has for the people of this region had the river since prehistoric times.

Reminder: You Don't Own Your Ebooks; Amazon Locks Customer Out And Doesn't Respond To Help Requests
from the you-don't-own-what-you-bought deptWe've pointed out in the past that if you're "buying" ebooks on devices like the Kindle or the iPad, it's important to remember that you're not really "buying" the books, and you don't really own them. We're seeing that once again with a story on Consumerist about a woman who was locked out of the ebooks on her Kindle for a month:
A month ago I bought a kindle and was really excited to use it on vacation. I bought a few books and when I was done, I bought another. Then they froze my account, so I called in and logged a case.This apparently has gone on for four weeks, involving approximately 20 phone calls and emails... and still no solution from Amazon. Anyone know of any case where the same thing happened with a physical book?
Within 48 hours I got a call back, saying it was an error on their side and they'd unfreeze it for me, but I'd just need to re-order the book. I thought no problem, thanks for the help. So I bought the book a second time and it automatically freezes me out again. I call in and log another case, but get no phone call back as promised from an account specialist.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Health officials said Thursday that thousands of patients of an Oklahoma oral surgeon should undergo testing for HIV and hepatitis after officials looking into the source of a patient's viruses discovered the dentist's instruments weren't being cleaned properly.
The Oklahoma Board of Dentistry said Thursday that state and county health inspectors went to Dr. W. Scott Harrington's practice after a patient with no other known risk factors tested positive for both hepatitis C and the virus that causes AIDS. Inspectors found multiple sterilization issues at Harrington's offices, including cross-contamination of instruments and the use of a separate, rusty, set of instruments for patients who were known to carry infectious diseases, according to a complaint.
Harrington voluntarily closed his practices in Tulsa and suburban Owasso and is cooperating with investigators, said Kaitlin Snider, a spokeswoman for the Tulsa Health Department. He faces a hearing April 19 and could lose his license.
Officials are sending letters to 7,000 people who are known to have been patients of Harrington, but they noted that they do not have information for patients before 2007.
"It's uncertain how long those practices have been in place," Snider said. "He's been practicing for 36 years."
Phone numbers for Harrington at his home and offices were disconnected Thursday. A message left with Harrington's malpractice attorney in Tulsa, Jim Secrest II, was not immediately returned.
Harrington's practice in Tulsa is in a tony part of town, on a row of some of the city's most upscale medical practices. The white-and-green stucco, two-story dental clinic has the doctor's name in fancy letters on the facade.
Snider said letters would be sent Friday to 7,000 patients recommending testing for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. The agencies say it is rare for blood-borne infections to spread in occupational settings but that tests are important.
The Dentistry Board complaint says Harrington and his staff told investigators that a "high population of known infectious disease carrier patients" received dental care from him.
A device used to sterilize all instruments wasn't working properly, the complaint said. A test is supposed to performed monthly and sent to a lab to determine that the equipment is successfully sterilizing instruments, but "no such test had ever been performed in the 6 years one dental assistant had been working at the office," the complaint said.
The doctor also apparently used outdated drugs, as one vial found this year had an expiration date of 1993, the complaint said.
Susan Rogers, executive director of the state Board of Dentistry, said that as an oral surgeon, Harrington routinely does invasive procedures that involve "pulling teeth, open wounds, open blood vessels."
"This is an unprecedented event," Rogers said in an interview. "To my knowledge, this has never happened before as far as a public notification of a (hepatitis C) case involving a dental office."
Most people who become infected by hepatitis C get it by sharing needles or other equipment to inject drugs, according to the Centers for Disease Control's website. The infection can last a lifetime and lead to scarring of the liver or liver cancer.
Most people who get hepatitis B have it for a short time, though it can cause a long-term infection that can damage the liver. It can be transmitted through unprotected sex and sharing needles.
The health departments said hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV are serious medical conditions and infected patients may not have outward symptoms of the disease for many years. "As a precaution, and in order to take appropriate steps to protect their health, it is important for these patients to get tested," their statement said.
Testing will be offered free of charge at the Tulsa Health Department's North Regional Health and Wellness Center.
HIV test urged for 7,000 Oklahoma dental patients
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Health officials said Thursday that thousands of patients of an Oklahoma oral surgeon should undergo testing for HIV and hepatitis after officials looking into the source of a patient's viruses discovered the dentist's instruments weren't being cleaned properly.

In 2013, the big fight in Sacramento may be over Proposition 13.
Democrats, emboldened by their new and historic supermajority status at the state Capitol, are expressing increased interest in changing the tax limitation measure; a remarkable departure from years past, when such talk was considered political suicide.
Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, confirmed this week he plans to pursue legislation that would allow commercial property taxes to go up, by allowing business properties to be assessed on their current value. Critics have long noted that business properties can avoid being re-assessed when they change hands, by the way partnerships are structured.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Last year, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, in a preview of the current debate, told the Sacramento Press Club that Prop 13's protections had become a "corporate tax giveaway" that handed an unfair break to business properties, compared to homeowners' rights.
Privately-owned homes are re-assessed at their higher value when sold. Only homes that have not changed hands since 1978, when Prop 13 passed, keep their low tax rate.
Business groups are alarmed by the prospect of losing the existing protections, and will be looking for moderate Democrats to partner with. But the math is relatively straightforward. Democrats, if they vote as a bloc, now have the two-thirds control of the legislature that they need to place changes to Proposition 13 on the ballot.
But what do voters think? A new Public Policy Institute of California poll shows that while support for Prop 13 remains very high, 58 percent of likely voters favor the idea of taxing commercial properties at their current value. Democrats overwhelmingly support the idea, with 66 percent saying yes. Republicans are divided, with 47 percent in favor and 48 percent opposed.
Some issues -- and politicians -- never go away. Prop 13 passed in 1978, when Jerry Brown was governor the first time around. Now he's back, and so is serious talk about whether it's time to tinker with the results of one of the most famous tax revolts of modern times.

Medical nemesis: the expropriation of health
Pantheon Books, 1976 - Medical - 294 pages
"The medical establishment has become a major threat to health. The disabling impact of professional control over medicine has reached the proportions of an epidemic. Iatrogenesis, the name for this new epidemic, comes from iatros, the Greek word for physician, and genesis, meaning origin. Discussion of the disease of medical progress has moved up on the agendas of medical conferences, researchers concentrate on the sick-making powers of diagnosis and therapy, and reports on paradoxical damage caused by cures for sickness take up increasing space in medical dope-sheets [...] The public has been alerted to the perplexity and uncertainty of the best among its hygienic caretakers [...] This book argues that panic is out of place. Thoughtful public discussion of the iatrogenic pandemic, beginning with an insistence upon demystification of all medical matters, will not be dangerous to the commonweal."-- from Introduction.

I see that God has a Twitter account.
I understand why He has over 100,000 followers -- woefully fewer followers than any given Kardashian train wreck -- but God apparently chooses to follow only one person. Who?
Ah, of course. But I was particularly intrigued by Twitter's assessment of God's Twitter peers:
I wonder . . . if I had prayed to North Korea, would I have gotten bigger boobs? It's worth finding out.

President Obama Signs Anti-Protest Bill H.R. 347
Read more at http://www.inquisitr.com/206017/pres...RjKLXIseHaz.99
President Obama signed bill H.R. 347 (also known as the Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011) into law on March 9th, amid numerous protests from the Occupy movement, as well as other agencies. HR 347 is a modification from Senate bill S. 1794, which restricted people from entering or blocking public areas that have been closed off by Secret Service while a person under their protection is passing through. The law also included major public events, such as the Inaguration and Presidential campaigns.
The new law, which passed the House with a vote of 399-3, extends the original law by adding more protected areas within Washington D.C, and removing the word willfully, from the paragraph stating that protesters can be prosecuted if they enter the area willfully and knowingly.
Representative Justin Amash, R-Michigan, explains this change by saying:
The bill expands current law to make it a crime to enter or remain in an area where an official is visiting even if the person does not know its illegal to be in that area and has no reason to suspect its illegal.

He says that anyone who is being guarded by Secret service is covered by this bill and may not be protested. Furthermore he says that the president can order Secret Service protection whenever he wants. So if David Axlerod, for instance, is giving a speech and is guarded you may not post a sign protesting him.
Note that it also covers Presidential campaigns. You may not protest the president when he is campaigning.
Bill was signed March 15, 2012.

The findings provide valuable insight as to why some cancers metastasize to bone, and could eventually result in new metastasis-prevention drugs, said Laurie McCauley, professor in the Department of Periodontics and Oral Medicine at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and principal investigator on the study.
The really good news is that researchers reversed the tumor-friendly effect of the drug, called cyclophosphamide, by inhibiting another cell-communicating protein in the bone marrow, called CCL2.
"This work is early and still at the pre-clinical level," said McCauley, who also has an appointment in the Department of Pathology at the U-M Health System. "However, the biggest potential impact is in metastasis preventive strategies.
"If we better understood the specific mediators, or conditions, in the bone marrow that support tumors, we could develop more effective therapeutics to prevent local cancers from spreading and hence reduce metastasis to the bone."
The study highlights the potential for the bone marrow to provide the right environment for tumors to metastasize, said Serk In Park, first author and a postdoctoral fellow in McCauley's lab. Many cancers, such as prostate and breast cancer, are fond of spreading, or metastasizing, to bones.
Researchers administered the chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide experimentally to manipulate the environment inside the bone marrow prior to exposing experimental tumors. Cyclophosphamide therapy is used in certain cancers to slow cell growth, and McCauley's group experimented with its use in a pre-metastatic mode using a prostate cancer model.
While effective at attacking tumor cells, a side effect of cyclophosphamide (and many other chemotherapy drugs) is that it suppresses certain bone marrow cells that help the immune system and increases some harmful cells. Researchers hypothesized correctly that the drug would make the bone marrow more tumor-friendly.
The paper, "Cyclophosphamide Creates a Receptive Microenvironment for Prostate Cancer Skeletal Metastasis," appears in the journal Cancer Research.

The low thrum of ambient electronica music pulses through a four-floor walkup in the hip central neighborhood of Prenzlauerberg as dozens of young programmers stick on nametags and swap stories.
Welcome to what locals are calling Germany's Silicon Allee, where the code junkies have come for a Startup Grind event.
It's a pretty typical meet-and-geek. Software code is the primary topic of conversation. One young man with a ponytail shouts on his cell phone as another in a hoodie furtively dives into a spread of canapes before the buffet table is officially open. There are only a handful of women.
The big news is that this kind of event is taking place in the German capital almost every night.
Despite cheap rents and a reputation as one of the world's coolest cities, Berlin has so far failed to live up to its goal of becoming Europe's startup hub. But that may finally be changing thanks to a rapid growth in funding, a new drive to attract foreign talent and a burst of interest from industry giants like Google, say insiders like Marco Brenner, who moved here a year ago to found a startup.
"We need to grow some meaningful businesses in Berlin," he says confidently, looking more like a PR executive dressed in his blazer instead of the usual hoodies or T-shirts. "Then the money will follow."
Berlin's startup scene could create as many as 100,000 jobs by 2020, according to a recent report by the global consultancy McKinsey & Co.
Although the city still lags behind competitors like London when it comes to infrastructure — partly because Germany's conservative investors have long made it difficult to raise capital — the city has some of the right ingredients, including a low cost base and a hip image that helps attract top talent.
Earlier this month, Google unveiled a mammoth new startup incubator known as "Factory," where veterans from Google for Entrepreneurs and Twitter will mentor company founders.
A 16,000 square foot space carved out of an abandoned brewery that will eventually employ around 500 people, it represents a big vote of confidence from the world's most successful internet company.
And while German venture capitalists remain more conservative than their counterparts in Silicon Valley, the amount of money available for startups has increased dramatically.
Over the past year, Berlin-based tech startups have raised over $650 million, more than three times the amount generated the previous year and more than six times the amount raised the year before that, according to venture capital database CB Insights.
Founders of some of the city's more promising startups — such as the audiofile sharing service SoundCloud, the academic social networking company ResearchGate and collaborative video-editing software maker FlavourSys — say Berlin's shortcomings can sometimes be advantages.
The city's hip reputation attracts software engineers interested in the intersection of technology and creative projects at the heart of companies like SoundCloud. The lower level of activity here also makes it easier to afford and retain talented people than it would be in more advanced startup hubs.
Starting out here allowed FlavourSys to fly under the radar as the company developed collaborative software that enables television company video editors to work on files simultaneously from different locations.
Even though the company's target market was always the US — which now accounts for 80 percent of its business — FlavourSys booked the National Geographic channel as its first customer before anyone in the software world had an inkling of what it was doing.
That happened at an industry convention in Las Vegas.
"It was amazing," said FlavourSys co-founder Marco Stahl on the rooftop of the company's converted-apartment headquarters. "There were crowds of people, 20, 30, 40 people standing there watching demos. Then National Geographic came along and said, 'We want to buy this!'"
For a company that two weeks earlier had no website or printed business cards, that was a big deal.
ResearchGate co-founder and CEO Ijad Madisch has a similar story.
Billed somewhat dismissively as "Facebook for scientists," the company aims to break traditional boundaries that often keep academic research cloistered in ivory towers and exclude scientists from the developing world. When Madisch first came up with the idea six years ago, he found the world-weary capital of academia Boston too jaded to bite.
Berlin was different. When Madisch moved ResearchGate here in 2010, fifteen years after Jeff Bezos had launched Amazon, copycats had attracted programmers and created a nascent ecosystem for e-commerce startups, but little else. However, Madisch says it created a hunger to do something more interesting.
As a result, it was comparatively easy for ResearchGate to attract top developers, doctors and scientists.
"Everyone here is hungry to work on something big," Madisch says. "That puts Berlin at an advantage to Silicon Valley."

Breeze Rentals opens in Tahoe City
TAHOE CITY, Calif. – Designed to coincide with the launch of both the ski and snowboard season and the peak holiday shopping period, Specialty Sports Venture (SSV), the wholly owned retail division of Vail Resorts, Inc. is opened a new Breeze Rentals facility store in Tahoe City Saturday, Dec. 1.
The 5,800-square foot shop includes a full ski and snowboard rental facility with inventory that includes sport/beginner packages, equipment for juniors, performance packages ideal for intermediates, and the latest high-end demo equipment from top manufacturers like Rossignol, Burton, and Salomon. Known for providing affordable ski and snowboard rentals including their acclaimed $9.99 daily rental, the arrival of a Breeze outlet for the Tahoe area adds a comprehensive new rental location for skiers and riders.
"We believe that bringing a Breeze Rental shop to Lake Tahoe is long overdue and will be very popular with weekend visitors to the Tahoe region," said regional manager Shawn Dolan. "This shop brings a strong mix of brands together that didn't exist in Tahoe City before now and we think our customers will appreciate having that kind of selection in one place."
In addition to the rental facility, Breeze will also have a retail shop on site that includes everything from jackets and outerwear as well as accessories like gloves, goggles, hats, and helmets from top names including Obermeyer, Oakley, Spyder, Burton, North Face, Prana, and Descente. The combination rental/retail center provides one-stop convenience for skiers and riders so they can pick up that one missing item from their outfit or to update a piece of their ensemble at the same time they are collecting their rental gear.
"We are pretty convinced that this Breeze Rental shop will be a hit almost as soon as it opens," claims Kat Jobanputra, COO of SSV. "We do some pretty careful analysis of each market to see what kind of products and stores people in that region find most appealing and then we work with some of the top companies in outdoor clothing to bring the two together. That way, we are able to match the right stores to the right resorts and when we are successful in making that connection, we can keep our customers happy and coming back," he adds.
In addition to the new Breeze Rentals, SSV is also expanding in their other primary regions with three new stores in the Vail and Beaver Creek villages and three new stores in the Westin hotel adjacent to the Snowmass Mall in Aspen, Colo. The six new stores opening this season brings SSV to 176 shops located at dozens of mountain resorts in Colorado, California, Utah, and Nevada.

In 1917, Picasso stayed in Rome to produce the sets for Diaghilev's ballet Parade. While there he met Olga Kokhlova, a dancer with the Ballets Russes, and rediscovered antique statuary, Etruscan art and early Renaissance painting. As a result the work produced in those years saw the appearance of monumental, gigantic, old-fashioned human forms.
Woman Reading, where the model was Olga, whom Picasso married in 1918, presents a hieratic figure in which classicism and Cubism are juxtaposed with virtuosity. The swollen, pink flesh of the face and hands, plus the position of the finger placed on the temple remind us of Picasso's interest in the characteristic drawing and deformation of the art of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, in particular the Portrait of Madame Moitessier painted by this latter in 1856. The nose and the arch of the eyebrows evoke the regularity of faces in antique statues. The bust and the clothing with its flattened folds, and the monochrome palette of greys and browns, for their part, make reference to the period of analytical deconstruction in Cubism (1910-1912). The style of the hair, with long, wavy locks, lends a note of freedom and refers to the technique of carving. The impressive, grey-clad figure barely stands out against the more neutral grey ground, in matching tones which strengthen the flesh tints. The atmosphere of serenity released by this scene is due as much to the restricted choice of colours as to the sculptural effect of the deeply concentrating figure.

by Eric Koester, Founder of Zaarly
"Sounds great," he said. "We'll go to LA for the weekend, hang out with some friends at Startup Weekend and celebrate your birthday. It'll be a blast."
Those brief words between two friends and eventual business partners launched a whirlwind that would wind up becoming a new company, a new product, and most importantly - a team of incredibly talented individuals trying to build a new peer-to-peer platform for amazing entrepreneurs and small businesses. That was the start of Zaarly.
But let me back up just a bit. How do you go from a weekend birthday celebration to building a company powering a community of thirty-thousand entrepreneurs and over 500,000 users, raising funding from some amazing partners and investors, launching at South by Southwest in Austin, and convincing the likes of Ashton Kutcher and Meg Whitman to buy into your dream? Turns out that this weekend birthday celebration at Startup Weekend at CoLoft in Santa Monica was the perfect cocktail for a small team (and Zaarly's three eventual co-founders) to stumble onto a way to power peer-to-peer commerce and catch the eyes of the broader startup ecosystem.
The reason this weekend in Los Angeles offered an amazing launching pad for our founding team of Bo Fishback, Ian Hunter and I to create our own jobs - and get the privilege to launch a company designed to help others build a business doing what they love - came down to people. In some ways the fact that the three of us were even in LA that weekend was the biggest miracle in the founding of Zaarly. None of us actually lived in LA. Ian had recently moved from LA to New York City and was only back that particular weekend to pick up his car and drive it back to NYC (ironically, he and his car never even made it back to New York.) Bo and his wife (who was pregnant at the time) had planned to spend that particular weekend in Madison, Wisconsin - but a last minute scheduling change at the hospital where Shelby was a Radiologist, opened the door for Bo to head to LA. And therefore, just one day prior to the fateful weekend, Bo booked his plane ticket to Southern California. The only reason I'd decided to jet down to LA for that weekend was that my wife was on the road interviewing at Universities for professorships and I was left alone on my birthday weekend to fend for myself - and where better to spend your birthday than with a bunch of other 'startup people.'
Three individuals with more reasons not to be in LA found a way to meet and work together on a simple concept for that weekend for the first time. This shared bonding experience building something important together was perhaps the best interview for a cofounder you could have. Without any expectations and just a few short days to create something, we focused on what truly mattered - doing something we were proud of. And that's what has taken Zaarly from a weekend project led by three basic strangers to a full blown company and team of nearly fifty people focused on helping other local entrepreneurs pursue their own dreams.
That's the power of entrepreneurship - you create a place you want to work and want to be, and work with people you enjoy. And in a small, windowless conference room in Santa Monica surrounded by a hundred other entrepreneurs, we found that place, that problem and those people that would become Zaarly. Turns out, sometimes you find a way to create your own job just by showing up - and keeping your eyes open for the amazing people you might meet.
In the end, my friend and cofounder Bo's words were quite prophetic: that particular weekend definitely was a blast. But what he could never have known was that that 'blast' was really just getting started.

Jamie Grigsby's second-half goal forced extra time in Saturday night's match. Despite controlling much of the match, Mount Olive posted the game-winning goal in 104th minute in a 2-1 (2OT) decision.
MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. – Following Jamie Grigsby's equalizing goal in the 50th minute of Saturday evening's contest, King controlled the momentum through regulation and the first overtime session. Despite their strong play, Mount Olive's Ellie Barnes scored the game-winning goal in the 104th minute to guide the Trojans to a 2-1, double-overtime victory over King.
Between the second half and the first overtime, King outshot Mount Olive 13-4 and nearly put the game-winning tally on the board before the Trojans captured the win. Rachel Thorpe (Ontario, Canada) took a service at midfield and carried the ball down the left sideline while closely marked by a Trojan defender. Thorpe dribbled to the center and her shot from the top of the box just went over the crossbar, keeping the match tied 1-1.
Mount Olive also had an opportunity to end the match in regulation when Maddy Robak and Daisy Thomas nearly scored in the 87th minute. Robak sent a long service into the box, but Thomas' shot sailed wide right, leading both teams into overtime.
Trojan forward Lauren Power scored the game-winning goal with 6:31 left in the second overtime on a ball played over the top of the King defense from midfield. Barnes won a 50-50 to force a one-on-one opportunity where she slipped past the Tornado keeper and shot into an empty net.
Jamie Grigsby (Oak Ridge, Tenn.) scored the equalizing goal less than five minutes into the second half. The goal, her second of the season, was scored off of a captured rebound off Trojan keeper Caroline Edenhofner that was put into the back of the net to force a 1-1 tie.
Daisy Thomas scored Mount Olive's opening goal in the 18th minute on a service from midfield, striking the back of the net from 25 yards out. Maddy Robak was credited an assist on the play.
Mount Olive keeper Caroline Edenhofner made 11 saves on the evening while King keeper Abbey Kitts (Tazewell, Va.) made nine on 11 attempts against.
King outshot the Trojans on the evening 18-13, controlling much of the second half ball control. The Lady Tornado also led the way in corner kicks with six to Mount Olive's three.
With the loss, King falls to 1-2-1 overall on the season with a 0-1-1 Conference Carolinas record. They will begin a string of four consecutive home matches beginning on Sept. 18 against the Coker Cobras, beginning a men's/women's doubleheader at 2 p.m. from Parks Field. They will follow by hosting North Greenville (Sept. 26), Barton (Sept. 29), and close the homestand versus Belmont Abbey on Oct. 4.

When is it time to replace a water heater?
Although regular water heater maintenance and water heater repair may extend the life of your hot water heater, it won't last forever. Most water heaters have a life expectancy of about 10 years. Many water heaters need to be replaced when they're 8-12 years old — that's when they start to show signs of fatal wear, such as leaking around the base of the tank. A water heater should be replaced when it fails to sufficiently heat water for the home; if your heater is operating erratically, check first for a blown fuse or a tripped breaker to make sure an electrical issue isn't causing the problem. Another time to replace a water heater is when you want to upgrade to either a larger model or a more energy-efficient one.
How long is a water heater supposed to last?
Your water heater is an essential part of your home, heating water for showers, dishwashing, laundry and more. On average, a traditional water heater will last 8-12 years. The general consensus is that it's better to replace your water heater with a new one than to repair one that's 10 years old or more. Older models are less energy-efficient and thus more costly to run than newer models with better technology. Here are some indicators of when it may be time to replace an old water heater instead of repairing it:
- Leaks: If leaking is not caused by loose connections, the water may be seeping out through slight fractures in the metal of the tank that have formed over time.
- Strange noises: Clanking, rumbling and other noises can mean that sediment has formed on the base of your tank, contributing to fissures leaks, and inefficiency.
- Age: If it's more than 10 years old, it's probably time to replace.
- Discolored or rusty water: Have a pro check it out; if the problem isn't resolved by draining and cleaning, you'll want to replace the heater.
- Lack of hot water: Inconsistent heating and hot water supply that runs out too quickly likely means it's time for a new unit.
How much do new water heaters cost?
The cost of a new water heater depends largely on the type and size of the heater. The average national cost for a new water heater installation including a 40- to 50-gallon tank is $350-$780. Most homes don't need larger tanks, but they are available — for a price. The average difference between a 50-gallon tank and a 75-gallon tank (the next most common size) ranges from $400 to $600. Hundred-gallon tanks are also available, and they can cost double or triple the price of a 50-gallon tank from the same manufacturer. New water heaters tend to be far more energy-efficient, so they can cut energy costs; homeowners may also be eligible for a new water heater rebate from their local utility company.
Typically, tankless water heaters, which heat water only when you need it, cost more but can save about 25 percent of annual water heating costs, on average. They also lose only 5 percent of their energy compared with a tank unit's 30 percent energy loss. Note, too, that a water heater with a tank has a life expectancy of 10 years, while tankless units generally last about twice as long.
The final expense to consider is a possible disposal fee to get rid of the old water heater; some companies include it in the price, while others charge an average of $35-$150.
How much does it cost to fix a hot water heater?
Nationally, the average water heater repair cost ranges between $120 and $200, although prices can range up to $400 or more. Water heater repair costs will depend on the type of water heater you have (tankless, electric, natural gas, etc.), the source of the problem, the cost for new parts, and labor rates in your area. Common water heater issues include problems with the thermocouple, thermostat, heating element and leaks. Most standard electric water heaters have two thermostats and two elements. One example for the cost to replace a bad thermostat is $185 for parts and labor. Replacing both the thermostat and the heating element could cost approximately $150-$200. The thermocouple is a safety device that senses when the pilot light is burning and signals the gas valve to close if the pilot light goes out. If your thermocouple is bad or corroded, the average cost to clean and repair it could be between $350 and $400. If your water heater has started to leak, it is usually more cost-effective to invest in a new water heater than to repair it, unless you're covered by a warranty.
How much does it cost to install a tankless hot water heater?
Tankless water heaters usually cost more to install than traditional tanks, because many homes need to be retrofitted to accommodate the new system. Tankless electric water heaters retail on average between $150 and $1,200, and tankless natural gas water heaters retail between $200 and $1,300 on average. The lower prices ($150-$250) are generally for point-of-use tankless heaters that can be installed to boost hot water in high-demand areas such as the bathroom or kitchen sink. Tankless water heaters designed to heat whole homes usually start under $300 at the low end and go up to $1,400 or more. Pricing for whole-home varies with the heater's technology and features. Nationally, standard water heater installation costs average $360-$780, but tankless water heater installation costs may range from $400 to $1,000, depending on the work needed. Some perks of tankless water heaters are that they have nearly double the life expectancy of traditional water heaters and are generally more cost-efficient. Homeowners may be able to save $100 or more per year on their utility bills with an Energy Star approved tankless heater, depending on how much hot water they use.

Walker, Soglin weigh in on fiscal cliff concerns
Middle-income taxpayers could see taxes go up by $2,000 per household
MADISON, Wis. — President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner met privately on Sunday, as worries continue to mount over the so-called "fiscal cliff."
Just about three weeks remain before plunging over that cliff could send millions of American families into even tougher times.
All eyes are on the scenic D.C. backdrop of Capital Hill as federal lawmakers work to remedy the potential seven trillion dollars of spending cuts and tax increases.
In Wisconsin, local leaders are watching as well, and they are weighing in on what can be done to avoid falling over that edge.
Madison Mayor Paul Soglin is reminding folks to look at what seems to be a national issue from a local perspective.
"My only advice is this: Do not panic, do not make concessions that will hurt the economy," said Soglin.17714534
Soglin said the fiscal cliff could create a deepening recession if lawmakers don't save what programs are crucial to the city.
"But it would also be a real drain in regards to the programming here," said Soglin. "With what limited federal resources we have, there are such important programs as our public transit system, and our desire to go to bus rapid transit."
Keeping state interests in mind, Gov. Scott Walker recently spent time at the White House with governors from both sides of the aisle.
"So things I talked about are similar to what others talked about," said Gov. Walker. "Concerns about the economy, concerns about the finances and really offering up suggestions that we're going to follow up on as an organization. Particularly for the Vice President, of ways that we can continue to highlight things that are good for the economy and our states and are good for our finances."
State governments could potentially also lose much needed federal aid, but Gov. Walker says for now that he's not putting together a doomsday scenario for the state budget.
"A lot of time in our states these decisions are made at crunch time, and hopefully the same will happen here," said Gov. Walker.
Gov. Walker has until February to outline his budget. If no deal is reached, federal cuts would start in January.
The non-partisan Tax Policy Institute estimates middle-income taxpayers would see their taxes go up about $2,000 per household.
