Overall Price Quality
I've had one of these traps for 20 years. Livinging in the Midwest Corn Belt every year we have racoon issues and I cannot remember how many I have caught and relocated, nor can I remember how many people I've loaned my trap to for the same purpose. Nearly every time it is returned I am asked where did you get that trap. I have never seen another box trap as good as this one and when I see box traps in stores I compare them to the one I own and just chuckle at how cheap they look compared to mine.
Normally I don't take the time to "review" anything but I came across this site and saw my trap and had to let anyone who is looking for one know to stop looking and buy this one. It will last a lifetime! Review by Coltfan Shorty

- Fed Ex delivered the trap yesterday, and last night by 9:00 we had successfully trapped the raccoon (or, more likely one of them) that killed twelve of our chickens a couple of weeks ago. Even as dexterous as a raccoon is, with its opposable thumbs, it has not been able to escape from the trap. Very effective product!!! Review by chikin lady

are Hippo's more closely related to pigs??.........or whale's?
Do the link-http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/03/090318153803.htm
I watched a docomentary on this subject a couple of months ago on the National Geographic channel and it was really surprising to see how the facts appear to fit together. The most startling bit of evidence is the underwater sounds made by hippos and whales, they are indeed very similar.
I guess the final conclusions, if any can even be made, will come out with genome sequencing research, but even those kinds of facts will only point in certain directions. But the possibilities are really amazing as to how our present day assortments of mammalian species are related to each other!

There are six main objectives for the Three Boundary Umpires System.
1. Assist Goal Umpires
In the vast majority of cases there will be at least 1 boundary umpire at the behind posts whenever the play is in the vicinity. This will assist goal umpires with scoring shots from close range where the ball travels close to the behind post.
2. Recruitment and Retention
3. Boundary Umpire Decisions
The boundary umpires, on the DOUBLE SIDE will to run approximately 50 60 metres apart, when play moves around the boundary. This will ensure the boundary umpires will always be close to play which will greatly assist with out of bounds and out on the full decision making. The short kick-in from behinds will also be covered.
4. Reduced Physical and Mental Stress for umpires
Two boundary umpires working on one side of the ground should lessen the physical requirements of what is expected to be a faster, harder running game as a result of the new law allowing an immediate play-on after a behind and the general preparedness of teams to play on quickly. Whilst the complete recovery has been removed, the constant solid hard running of the two umpire system is eased for a portion of the game with two umpires working on the one side.
It can be anticipated that the umpires will have less throw-ins which will lessen the workload in that regard and hopefully keep umpires fresher so as to execute stronger and more consistent throw-ins.
5. Reduction of injuries
In recent seasons there has been an increase in the number of injuries to boundary umpires as a result of the intense and demanding nature of the role. The increased speed of the game, length of season and number of games played has contributed to the amount of injuries received even though the rotational system has been introduced.
One of the aims of this new system is to reduce injuries to umpires. The AFLUD will again closely monitor boundary umpire injuries whilst this system is in place to provide accurate feedback and information regarding boundary umpire injuries.
6. Development of Team Spirit among Boundary Umpires
One of the positive aspects to come out of the previous trial of the Four Boundary Umpire System was the feeling of team spirit that developed between umpires due to them working together as a team of four. Working alongside and supporting fellow umpires will hopefully eradicate the individual aspect of boundary umpiring and develop a sense of team and working to assist each other.

As the concept of value ripples through various healthcare domains, advanced cancer treatment requires a closer look. When researchers from Dana Farber Cancer Institute reviewed spending and survival data, they observed substantial regional variation in Medicare spending for advanced cancer, but no association between spending and survival, according to a study published online March 12 in Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
"Most new advanced cancer therapies provide survival gains of weeks to months, and many are associated with high costs … improving the value of medical spending for advanced cancer is increasingly recognized as a priority," wrote Gabriel A. Brooks, MD, from Dana Farber in Boston, and colleagues.
The researchers sought to determine the association between mean regional spending by quintile and survival in advanced cancer. They mined the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results-Medicare linked database to identify 116,523 patients aged 65 and older with advanced non-small cell lung, colon, breast, prostate or pancreas cancer from 2002 to 2007.
A total of 61,083 patients formed an advanced cancer (incident) cohort, and data were analyzed from diagnosis until six months after diagnosis. A total of 98,935 patients died from cancer and formed the decedent cohort. Data were analyzed for the six-month period prior to death. Thirty-seven percent of subjects were in both cohorts.
Brooks and colleagues identified 80 hospital referral regions (HRRs) and calculated mean spending by cancer site, ordered the regions by spending and divided them into quintiles.
Mean six-month spending was $33,727 in the incident cohort and $33,099 in the decedent cohort. Mean spending increased by 32 percent from quintile 1 to quintile 5 in the incident cohort, and by 41 percent in the decedent cohort.
Despite the spending variation, researchers found no consistent association between advanced cancer spending and survival outcomes.
Brooks et al also observed that patients in high-spending regions were more likely to be hospitalized and admitted to the intensive care unit and consistently received more aggressive end-of-life care than those in low-spending regions. However, spending was similar in all regions in the use of chemotherapy and other outpatient services.
Spending and hospice use were inversely associated in the decedent cohort, which supports previous findings of lower end-of-life costs for patients in hospice care.
"Our findings suggest that healthcare providers should be incentivized to develop strategies aimed at reducing potentially avoidable hospitalizations and increasing timely access to palliative care for patients with advanced cancer—goals that are consistent with patient-centered care," concluded Brooks et al.

The scorecard: Perth Scorchers 5-156 (Klinger 81 35, Swepson 2-22) defeated Brisbane Heat 129 (Ross 39, Tye 4-22) by 27 runs
The match in a tweet: A hat-trick to AJ Tye seals a crucial win for the Scorchers!
The hero: Michael Klinger was the sole shining light in a dour Scorchers innings, scoring a pivotal 81 off 54 balls when the next highest score was Ian Bell's 14. The Scorchers veteran survived a couple of close calls, the first on 25 when Joe Burns and Brendon McCullum collided chasing a catch chance in the outfield. Then on 54, Klinger appeared to glove a Ben Cutting bouncer through to wicketkeeper Jimmy Peirson, only for it to be ruled a wide. The extra runs turned out to be the difference for the Scorchers as they took some revenge for last week's loss to the Heat at the WACA Ground.
The hat-trick: AJ Tye earned himself a special place in Big Bash League history when he claimed just the second BBL hat-trick. The first wicket came with the final ball of the 18th over when Jack Wildermuth was caught behind by substitute 'keeper Cameron Bancroft. Mitch Swepson was then caught by debutant Tim Bresnan on the first ball of the final over, before Tye cleaned up Mark Steketee's stumps with the hat-trick ball. Funnily enough, the Scorchers paceman didn't even realise what he'd done.
The support cast: The Scorchers bowlers superbly backed up Klinger's efforts, with Mitch Johnson breaking through with the third ball of the innings to send in-form opener Jimmy Pierson packing for two, before claiming the scalp of Sam Heazlett with his next over. He eventually finished with 2-25 from his four and the Scorchers attack shared the spoils, with Tim Bresnan and Jhye Richardson also picking up two, while Tye's hat-trick ensured he walked away with 4-22 off 3.2 overs.
The 'did he or didn't he?': Klinger was eventually out caught on the boundary for 81, but not after the third umpire took a long, hard look at Nathan Reardon's boundary catch. Reardon immediately claimed the catch, however Klinger refused to walk when he believed Reardon's heel may have come in contact with the rope. Replays proved inconclusive and Klinger was visibly unhappy as he returned to the team's dugout.
The new Bash Bros: Brendon McCullum was without his big-hitting buddy Chris Lynn on Wednesday night, with the latter called away on Australia ODI duties. But he found a different sort of bash all together when he collided with Joe Burns in the outfield. Incredibly, Burns fought off McCullum to claim an over-the-shoulder catch, only to end up being pushed over the rope – handing Klinger a six.
The big concern: The Heat could be without inspirational captain McCullum for their next match due to a potential over-rate suspension. The Heat took 96 minutes to complete their innings with the ball, exceeding the 90-minute allowance by six minutes.
The debutant: England import Tymal Mills, brought into the Heat XI for injured West Indies spinner Samuel Badree, looked the most dangerous of the Heat bowlers in his BBL debut, despite finishing his four overs with 0-30. He reached speeds of 149km/h and hit Perth wicketkeeper Sam Whiteman on the helmet when he attempted to pull him.
The substitute: Perth Scorchers wicketkeeper-batsman Whiteman was ruled out of the remainder of the match due to concussion. While Whiteman shook the blow from Mills and continued batting, making 12, Scorchers medical staff opted to rule him out of the match after re-testing him for concussion, as per the CA concussion guidelines. Twelfth man Cameron Bancroft, who last year played for Australia as a wicketkeeper in a T20 international, took the gloves as a concussion substitute.
The next stop: The Heat will head to the MCG next Tuesday to take on the Melbourne Stars, while the Scorchers host the Stars at #TheFurnace on Saturday night.

Six great things to do in Lincolnshire
Lincolnshire is full of great attractions, beaches and things to do for the whole family. It's full of market towns, historic buildings, great sandy beaches, fun fairs, theatres, markets, shops, piers, countryside, restaurants and pubs! Perfect for a break or long holiday.
Here are a few of the things you can do:
Get Festive in Grimsthorpe on 27th August
Contemporary music meets art in this stunning venue at Grimsthorpe Castle. Artists, musicians, car enthusiasts, poets, dancers, bakers, beer makers and bands share time and food during this summer festival that offers a plethora of entertainment for everyone to enjoy.
The gardens at Grimsthorpe Castle are truly beautiful surrounding it on three sides. There are formal grassed lawns, forest, ornamental pools, woodland gardens, an arboretum, herbaceous borders, kitchen garden and fountains. It's a perfect backdrop for a festival!
Ticket prices start at £4 for kids and £8 for adults.
Get a taste of Lincolnshire
Lincolnshire is the home of organic food.
This county led the way in traditional uses of organic food and the ethos of the county is that food and drink is a lifestyle to those that live there. This is why the towns are selling organic produce like cheese, sausages, beef and plum bread.
Everywhere you go in the area food is in abundance whether it's the local tea rooms or the pubs and bed and breakfasts!
You'll find the 'Tastes of Lincolnshire' logo in all pubs, restaurants and shops. This is a project funded by the county council supporting suppliers of locally sourced food and drink.
Visit a Medieval Village
Gainsthorpe is a medieval village that is part of the original farm. It's empty now but was once a thriving community and you can still see the layout of the buildings and its sunken roads and raised crofts.
It's one of the best preserved medieval villages in England and was apparently destroyed by thieves but no one really knows so there's that added veil of mystery about it which makes a visit more than interesting.
Try a little retail therapy
The boutiques and cobbled streets of the towns in Lincolnshire make shopping a fun experience in Lincolnshire as you never know quite what you're going to find in each shop.
There are great antique shops and fashion boutiques as well as markets and craft stalls. It's all part of the quirky nature of the area.
There are also great shopping centres in the high street and at St Marks offering a good mix of high street brands. Couple all of that will relaxing spas and you have a perfect mix for the ladies.
1000 Years of Traditional Crafts at Lincoln Castle
Lincoln Castle is an attraction on its own however if you throw in a Crafts festival you have double the fun and more reason than ever to pay a visit.
This is a two day event starting on the 29th September and brings together some of the top attractions on heritage and crafts from all over England. The event is held in the grounds of the famous Lincoln Castle and crafts include silver smithing, stained glass production, blacksmithing, weaving, basket making, cooking, hands on activities and a host of food and drink stalls featuring the 'Tastes of Lincolnshire'.
Tickets range from £5 for a child to £8 for an adult.
Help save a donkey in Huttoft
Radcliffe Donkey Sanctuary is a non-profit making organisation, existing purely on donations by members of the public and fund-raising efforts by our helpers. Many of the donkeys at the sanctuary have been rescued from cruelty and the organisation helps them to live comfortably and to ensure they enjoy the rest of their lives.
They are open every Saturday and Sunday and Public Holidays from 10am – 4pm.

Thanks for Following our Cambodian Journey
Within the next three hours, the first five Cambodia SSTers will be returning to campus. Kelly, Phil, Seth, Trisha, and Jake boarded their Korean Airlines plane at about 11 p.m. last evening for their two lengthy flights back to the States. Fourteen of their peers stayed behind to travel in Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Japan. The Graber Millers will return to Goshen on Saturday. We all said farewell to each other last evening after a delicious Thai/Cambodian meal at the Lemongrass restaurant, and then a few of us dined on USA Donuts this morning in honor of the returnees. We pray for safe travels for all of the SSTers. Thanks for following our journey and for releasing your children/grandchildren/friends for these months. We've appreciated your coming along with us.

INTERPOL and the fast-paced digital threat landscape
Source: National Cyber Security – Produced By Gregory Evans
Dr. Madan Oberoi is the Director of Cyber Innovation and Outreach Directorate at the INTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation in Singapore. In this interview he talks about the key developments that allow law enforcement to stay on top the fast-paced digital threat landscape, offers insight on the challenges involved in managing international cyber innovation and research within INTERPOL, and introduces INTERPOL World 2015. What are the challenges of managing international cyber innovation and research within INTERPOL? With rapid technological advancement and effortless access to cyberspace, the world faces a range of new crime threats that are increasingly complex and intertwined. In the last few decades, we have witnessed a growing integration and interconnectedness of systems that were previously divergent, resulting in a 'system-of-systems'. Crimes in cyberspace are not contained by national boundaries or within countries, making them a truly global threat. For example, in the cybercrime arena, the offence may have been committed in one jurisdiction or country, but the victims may be in a different jurisdiction, and regulations may differ. It is therefore extremely important that all stakeholders such as governments, police organizations, academia and private industry work together to combat these crimes. To help address this need, we […]

It's easy to tie, big, and a very good steelhead fly. But why? What makes these commonly used, sparse, easy to tie flies successful? Or better yet, what makes the big, half chicken, half rabbit flies successful? Is it a correlation between number of people fishing them? More people fishing them = more success, just by the numbers?

Top 10 Ridiculous Alex Jones Moments
Who ordered the Satanist New World Order with a side of general conspiracy theories? From Pizzagate, to government-controlled weather, to the insane Piers Morgan debate, Alex Jones is seriously… interesting. WatchMojo counts down ten ridiculous Alex Jones moments.
Info-Spats: Even Conspiracy Theorists Are Sick of Alex Jones
Hath Frankenstein's monster begun killing its creator?
Alex Jones, the boisterous voice of a cult of conspiracy that questions, quite literally, everything from the legitimacy of terrorist attacks to the use of artificial sweeteners like aspartame, might have started getting just a tad too paranoid for the community that he's had such a huge part in building.
Whether he's ranting incoherently about gun control on Piers Morgan or arguing that the bombing at the Boston Marathon was a government orchestrated "false flag" attack complete with actors, more and more conspiracy theorists are doing their best to distance themselves from Jones.
The latest, and one of the most public, efforts to push back against Jones' particular brand of government distrust comes from Films for Action, a popular hub for the promotion of alternative, independent films and media.
After being questioned numerous times at their failure to include any Infowars or Prison Planet documentaries, Films for Action took the opportunity to release a statement about why their decision to steer away from Alex Jones was a conscious decision from the get-go.
Here's a sizeable chunk from their lengthy statement:
Unfortunately, we feel it would be irresponsible to promote Alex Jones, his websites, or any of his films. His films were always overly sensational and hyperbolic, but over the years the assertions he makes in his films and on his radio show have gotten increasingly outlandish and unsubstantiated. There are nuggets of truth and important perspectives hidden in the films, but they are buried under so many wild claims, tabloid style rhetoric, fear-mongering, and misleading conclusions that sifting the valid points from the misinformation would take more time than most folks have the patience for. See this, this, this,this, and this, for a handful of examples.
Most skeptical people will have written off his ideas (and anything associated with it, including, likely, this site) long before the film finishes.
We believe the goal of the alternative media is to eventually become the mainstream media – a media for and by the people, rather than a media for and by corporate interests. The alternative media that we imagine is one that has the potential to be welcomed into the homes of virtually everyone. We want to demonstrate the best of what the alternative media is and could be.
This means presenting information in a credible fashion, and not promoting misinformation or misleading meta-narratives about our world. It means following diligently the ethical principles and standards of the best journalists.
Infowars appeals to a certain niche conspiracy audience, but beyond this niche, it is not of much use for reaching people 'beyond the choir' – in fact the presentation and substance of Infowars is quite alienating and off-putting to most people. Right now on Infowars minded sites and Facebook pages, they are focusing their attention on occult messages being placed in the movies The Dark Knight Rises and The Hunger Games that allude to the latest two gun massacres being pre-planned events staged by the New World Order. Stuff like this has become conspiracy porn for a growing audience, which we find quite troubling, as focusing on these types of dead ends keep people distracted from doing anything that could effectively end the systems of power these websites claim to decry.
We must regretfully conclude that Alex Jones does more harm to the movement than good.
That last line seems to pretty well sum up a growing opinion for conspiracy theorists, an opinion that when it comes to spreading the "truth" – their truth, however suppressed, uncomfortable, or bizarre that "truth" may be, Alex Jones is no longer the right man for the job.

Inside of Alex Jones's head 'like Hitler chatting to Yosemite Sam'
This is a slightly dated story going back to Alex Jones' completely humiliating appearance on the Piers Morgan show. Still, i can't help posting anything that criticizes my favorite moron with such humor. Enjoy! 🙂
ALEX Jones is the result of an intense conversation between Adolf Hitler and the angry midget prospector, Yosemite Sam, psychiatrists have confirmed.
Brain experts leapt into action after millions of people saw Jones being interviewed by Piers Morgan and immediately asked what on earth was wrong with him.
Dr Martin Bishop said: "Like Hitler, the International Jewish Banking and/or Communist Conspiracy is the foundation stone of his meandering, psychotic paranoia.
"But it is mingled with the indomitable wild west spirit of the greatest outlaw philosopher north, south, east and west of the Pecos.
"I suspect that if we peer inside Alex Jones's head when he is being quiet we would see either Hitler writing Mein Kampf in Landsberg prison, or Yosemite Sam being lifted into the air by firing his guns directly into the ground.
"I would not be surprised if Jones is writing a 3,000-page book about rabbits."
Jones left Morgan almost speechless with his theory on how 'international bankers' want to take his guns and his gold, before advising the CNN presenter to 'say his prayers'.
Bishop added: "Like Sam, Jones will never surrender his weapons despite being blown-up repeatedly by his own dynamite.
"But most importantly he will never admit defeat to a no-good, low-down, varmint. Who is also from New York. Like Woody Allen."

5 things I've noticed about… Alex Jones
via The Soap Box
While there are a lot things I could say about radio host/conspiracy theorists Alex Jones (and it would be a lot) I noticed a few things he seems to do quite a bit.
So here are five things I've noticed about Alex Jones:
• 5 – His sites have a lot of advertisements on them.
If you go to either of his two main websites (Infowars and Prisonplanet) there are a lot of advertisements on the right side of those websites. Not only are there ads for other people's products, but also for his own products as well (mainly his videos).
And his websites have their their own shop pages where you can buy more of his videos and other merchandise.
• 4 – He always tells people he is not crazy.
Alex always seems to need to remind people that he is not crazy (in his view). I don't know why he feels the needs to do this. I don't know why people would believe he is crazy in the first place…
Maybe it's because he does stuff like this:
• 3 – He's against fascism and totalitarianism… unless it's in another country.
While Alex Jones is a notorious outspoken critic of anything that he perceives as fascism and totalitarianism in this country, he apparently has no problem with it in other countries (especially countries that the US has very poor diplomatic relations with).
A good example of this would be . . . MORE . . .

Alex Jones' uncontrolled explosion on Piers Morgan
Here at iLLumiNuTTi we have a favorite moron, his name is Alex Jones and he is at it again. Seems like he made another great impression. Enjoy 🙂
via The Washington Post
Ah, conspiracy theories.
Talk radio personality Alex Jones attracted attention for his petition to deport Piers Morgan. Then he showed up on Monday night on Morgan's CNN show and attracted more attention, spewing conspiracy theories right and left. He spouted off about 9/11, the New World Order, suicide pills and at one point began speaking in a fake British accent. He leaped straight to Mao and Hitler without pausing to reflect on Godwin's Law. All in all, it was a remarkable show. Morgan won the debate, but only, as Tim Stanley noted, because Jones did not let him get a word in edgewise.
This is saying something. The last time Piers Morgan won a debate was against Clint Eastwood's Invisible Chair Obama, and that was because most of the chair's comments were too ripe for cable. Once an actual straw man came on, but they tied. Jones, as a talk radio personality, is as close to a living straw man as you can hope to get.
There are reasons that people do not embrace conspiracy theories, aside from the high level of organization that they require us to believe is going on beneath the surface at the Denver Airport. The people who embrace them most tightly tend to yell and spit when they talk. There is a reason the only verbs associated with conspiracy theories are "spout" and "spew." No one ever says, "And then he sat down and explained quite reasonably, calmly and without bursting out into a full-body sweat, what was Really Going On with the suicide pills and 9/11." The reason they and their arguments are not featured more often on national news is not that they are being suppressed, exactly, as that producers fear that once they started talking, they might never stop. This only feeds it. "I'm being suppressed!" they yell.
"You just chewed through a sound cable," we say, "and you're frightening the houseplants."
Perhaps to compensate for years of silence, the tendency of conspiracy theorists is never to stop talking. And this is problematic. You hear an argument that might, in isolation, be convincing, but it is quickly followed by the observation that
Congress is comprised entirely of malignant lizards Congress is doing a great, productive job! "I was with you until the New World Order," you say.
Sometimes the best argument against an argument is its adherents. "I'll have the opposite of what he's having," we say, pointing at the man in the black shirt who has just called someone a "hatchet man of the New World Order."
I was all for deporting Piers Morgan, if only to pump excitement into the post-cliff news cycle. But after reading the piteous pleas of numerous Brits who had just put in so much effort to get rid of him, it seemed cruel. And after seeing the person who is leading the deportation charge — well, there must be some merit to keeping him that I've overlooked.
Besides, there are few more cutting responses to an American waving his arms and shouting about factoids than a person with a British accent saying nothing. Even if it is Piers Morgan. We can't deport him now.
Editor's note: I did find a video of the show on YouTube. I haven't watched it yet and i don't know how long it will remain posted before YouTube takes it down. Get your popcorn. 🙂

China's First Lunar Rover Prepares For December Launch
Brett Smith for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online
According to a report from China's state-run media agency Xinhua, the world's most populous nation will launch a rocket in early December carrying its first lunar rover.Named via an online poll, the rover has been dubbed Yutu, or "jade rabbit," after the pet of the moon goddess Chang'e who, according to Chinese folklore, flew up to the moon after swallowing an immortality pill. The rabbit's image is supposedly visible from the Earth's surface, in much the same way many Westerners see the Man in the Moon.
Citing China's State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense as a source, Xinhua did not provide an official launch date for the mission. The country has already sent two probes to orbit the Moon. The first probe, Chang'e One, was crashed into the Moon by its operators after completing its mission in 2009.
The lunar rover is considered a part of the Chang'e Three mission, which will also include placing a lander on the lunar surface.
"Chang'e Three's mission requires mastering many key technologies. The technical difficulties and the risks involved in carrying out the mission will be high," space agency spokesman Wu Zhijian said recently on state television.
"In taking on the mission to land on the moon, Chang'e Three will help China fulfill it's lunar exploration dream, it's space dream and the Chinese dream," Wu added.
The spokesman said mission controllers are shooting for a soft landing at the designated landing spot, a lunar feature called the Bay of Rainbows. In addition to deploying the lunar rover, mission scientists will also test deep space communication technologies.
"Yutu is a symbol of kindness, purity and agility, and is identical to the moon rover in both outlook and connotation," Li Benzheng, deputy commander-in-chief of China's lunar program, told Xinhua. "Yutu also reflects China's peaceful use of space."
In a series of moves reminiscent of Cold War-era Moscow, Beijing has recently been framing its space agency's accomplishments as benchmarks of its global stature. In addition to any geopolitical implications, the latest Chinese mission could also raise some scientific problems for NASA.
NASA officials have voiced concerns that any lunar dust raised by the Chang'e Three mission could disrupt its own Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) mission. The LADEE is orbiting the Moon in an effort to gather information on the wispy lunar atmosphere. NASA officials announced just this week that the orbiter was in place and ready to start gathering data.
NASA officials say the nature of the mission will require operators to constantly make adjustments, even without inference from the Chinese mission.
"Due to the lumpiness of the moon's gravitational field, LADEE's orbit requires significant maintenance activity with maneuvers taking place as often as every three to five days, or as infrequently as once every two weeks," said Butler Hine, a LADEE project manager. "LADEE will perform regular orbital maintenance maneuvers to keep the spacecraft's altitude within a safe range above the surface that maximizes the science return."

I didn't mean to flash the window washer. The incident just happened.
Let me back up…
I took twelve weeks off for maternity leave when I had my first child. As I described in an earlier post, I gained an extraordinary amount of weight with this (and my subsequent) pregnancy. As a result, I was highly committed to breast feeding.
Sure, I was excited about the health benefits for my kids, but what truly motivated me was the calorie burn. As any working/breast-feeding mom knows, this means you have to pump at work.
In case you've ever wondered if parenting is a humbling experience, try excusing yourself from a meeting at the most awkward moments, finding a private pumping location, hooking yourself up to a breast pump for 20 minutes, then slinking to the kitchen to clean all of the pump parts while acting as if you're just there to clean your coffee cup.
And be sure to repeat this three times during the work day.
I get sweaty palms just remembering it.
Nursing was a big commitment. Sure there was something nice about "unplugging" from work for a few minutes and "plugging in" to something so utterly beneficial for my child and for me.
OK – maybe I'm exaggerating – most of the time the process felt like a discipline.
However, I usually used those times to catch up on a phone call with female colleagues or industry friends whom I had missed during my maternity leave. They were typically women who I knew wouldn't be distracted by the low hum of the pump in the background.
My third day back at work my friend Cathy called right at pumping time.
"Great!" I thought, "I can catch up with Cathy and pump at the same time."
I closed my office door, assembled the apparatus, put the phone in the crook of my neck, and began the pumping process.
My office was in the heart of Buckhead, on the eighth floor overlooking a one-story shopping center and an attached parking deck. There was always lots to look at, so I tended to gaze out the window whenever I chatted on the phone.
About ten minutes into the process, my pumping respite was interrupted by something (er, someone) entirely unexpected.
As I sat, facing window and in mid-pump, down dropped a window washer who bobbed into place literally three feet from my face… (although my face wasn't what I was worried about him seeing).
The timing was perfect…and entirely shocking.
I screamed. Loudly.
As quickly as possible, I whipped my chair around, while still attached to the pump, and waited for the window washer to finish his job.
I couldn't figure out any alternative.
My friend Cathy was utterly confused.
I imagine her first thought was that my trusty Pump-o-matic 5000 had gone into uncontrolled suction overdrive or had sent electric shocks through me. When I finally composed myself enough to explain what happened, she couldn't stop laughing.
Seconds later I heard people down the hall chattering. They realized what had just gone down. Apparently the note about the window cleaning came out the week before my return to the office.
They had forgotten to mention it.
Thanks, team.
At that "mommy-meets-washerman" moment, an idea began to crystallize with me.
I was never going to have a compartmentalized life.
I had naïvely believed that if I was organized enough, I could segue from home to work back to home easily. I figured with strong boundaries, with a solid work ethic, and with enough effort, my roles would stay distinct and cleanly separated.
I thought I could be "all in" at home and "all in" at the office; one environment wouldn't have to creep into the other, and, by sheer force of will, both would balance each other out.
However, like it or not, my little encounter with the window washer taught me that my home life was coming to the office with me… and I best come to grips with that.
That week was just the start of a new education for me.
What did you learn as a new Mom on the job?

Now that Christmas is past, retailers around the nation are counting receipts with anxiety.
But despite national news about recession and fear, merchants on the central Kenai Peninsula are reporting a merry shopping season. Independent retailers in Kenai and Soldotna report that, on the whole, sales are equal to or above those from last year.
"We had a real good season. ... Our experience here was not the doom and gloom they had predicted," said Steve Beeson, owner of Beemun's Variety in Soldotna. "Our economy is just different from the economy Outside."
Others echoed his upbeat assessment.
"It was a good year. I think people shopped at home a little more," said Mike Sweeney, owner of Sweeney's Clothing in Soldotna.
Retailers began the Christmas shopping season with a feeling of uncertainty. Many had low expectations and were pleased to find things better than anticipated.
Paula Lovett, who owns Far North, which sells western wear, framing and western-theme gifts in North Kenai, was one.
"I wasn't disappointed with December, all things considered. ... It was a little bit more than I expected. I didn't know how it was going to pan out."
She described the retail scene this fall as "weird." Business was terrible in October, and holiday shopping got off to a slow start. People passed up her usually popular shirts and bought a lot of gourmet food items instead. Framing was way up. Overall, her stores sales were slightly above the same time in 2000, she said.
"I think things are going to turn around for us," she said of the economic slowdown.
Donna Schwanke, owner of Donna's Country and Victorian Gifts in the Blazy Mall in Soldotna, also reported unusual shopping patterns.
"I would not have been surprised to have been way down this year with the economy down and all. I was pleasantly surprised," she said.
The biggest surprise was when she held her annual introduction to Christmas event Nov. 3. She worried that people would be uneasy because of the war and in no mood to shop, but it turned out to be the most successful in the 14 years she has been doing it.
"People want to get out, get their minds off things and do something fun," she said.
This year she found shoppers watching their dollars. She estimated that they spent less per person, but bought gifts for more people. Favorites included bath items, aromatherapy supplies and candles.
"People want things to mellow them out," Schwanke said.
Beeson, too, noted a new seriousness in shoppers.
"They had thought things through. They weren't running and gunning like in the past."
In some cases, the sober mood decreased sales.
Kris Harris, a part owner of Good Books and More, a Christian book and gift shop in Kenai, reported that sales were down, despite a revamped selection emphasizing gift items rather than books.
Bibles are perennial favorites, and the gifts, such as snowmen figurines, were popular this year, she said.
"Personally, I didn't feel quite ready for Christmas," she said.
"It was really a rather good season, but not as good as we hoped."
Others, however, found themselves riding the crest of a Christmas shopping boom.
"It was just incredible -- incredibly good," said Paul Miller, owner of Soldotna Trustworthy Hardware.
His store saw a large jump in business and sold out of most holiday items.
"The mood was great," he said.
The Tustumena Smokehouse also reported a banner year. Owner Fred West said 2001's holiday sales were his best ever. He attributed the success to increased advertising, returning customers and an emphasis on quality. Mailable gift packs were a big hit, he said.
"They were buying less, but they were buying the best," he said.
Tony Kissee, the owner of the Radio Shack outlets in Kenai and Soldotna, also was grinning about December sales.
"Last Christmas was a record-selling Christmas. Our main goal was to match that. But we beat it," he said.
Electronics proved to be hot sellers during the gift-giving season. Palm Pilots and surround sound systems were most popular.
The merchants agreed that Alaska's retail scene is insulated from the woes afflicting the other states, but that weather can change consumer demand in a hurry.
Although gift shop owners said that the frigid temperatures earlier in the month kept shoppers at home, others reaped a winter windfall. Sweeney's Clothing reported that coats were moving briskly, and Soldotna Trustworthy Hardware sold so many gloves that owner Miller wonders where they all go.
The holidays have rewards beyond cash flow for the merchants. Harris, from Good Books and More, pointed out that it is a fun time despite the hard work because of meeting so many people during the cheerful season.
And now that 2001 is ending, they can start looking forward to the 2002 Christmas shopping season.
Said Beeson from Beemun's, "Believe it or not, the first of February I'll be out looking at new Christmas items already."

AfriGeneas Free Persons of Color Forum
"Focus: Even while slavery continued, free blacks in America began to reflect on what the best course of action would be after emancipation. The first choice to be made was: do we stay or do we go? Often basing themselves on the historical example of the Israelites, a number of prominent figures argued for a mass emigration, either back to Africa or to other lands in the New World. We will examine the emigrationists' grim assessment of the prospects for racial equality and racial comity in the United States. As a thought experiment, consider how you would have felt at the time. Would you have favored staying or going? Would a black Exodus have been preferable? Would it have been better or worse for blacks, better or worse for whites, better or worse for America? Is the argument for emigration offensive to you? Would it be more offensive if it were proposed today as the solution for our continuing racial troubles? Is emigration a cowardly solution? A racist one? Or is the idea of emigration realistic, bold, and prophetic?"

When England returned Adil Rashid to Yorkshire after his inactive tour of South Africa it is to be hoped that they had the decency to provide a written apology. One promising England spinner in need of repair. Sorry about that. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.
Yorkshire were shocked at Rashid's decline when he returned from England duty. His action no longer flowed, his self‑belief had fallen through the floor. As Kent, who have signed the South African pace bowler Makhaya Ntini until the end of next month, took control of an engrossing, fluctuating game, it was easy to understand their frustration. So far it is expressed – officially at least – with folded arms. But then Yorkshire is well practised in the art of silent condemnation.
What is it with England and spin bowling? First Monty Panesar switches from Northants to Sussex with his England career up a side alley, his bowling method confused and in need of sympathetic handling. Then Rashid, coached by a fellow leg-spinner in Mushtaq Ahmed, returns to Yorkshire with a straighter run, shoulders so tense that he looks in need of emergency physio and a stream of long hops.
Kent had reason for satisfaction – Geraint Jones struck a crisp morning 53 before succumbing to the sweep, Martin van Jaarsveld's 78 was full of authority and James Hockley made a career-best 82, his visions of a maiden championship hundred ended when Rashid had him caught at the wicket. By then he was bowling for practice, his captain wisely shunning the new ball as he planned for better days ahead.
Kent missed a trick by not instructing Azhar Mahmood to slog the closing overs. They lead by 361 and not to declare overnight would be criminal. When Kent slumped to 116 for five, the third successive top-order collapse of the game, their lead was only 150. With conditions easing, it begged for Rashid. But two poor pre-lunch overs had disappeared for 20 and it was 182 for five, with Van Jaarsveld and Hockley in blissful control, when Andrew Gale turned to him again.
Rashid began with another long hop, pulled for four by Hockley, and retreated to the cover boundary to berate himself. At the start of his next over, he had Van Jaarsveld lbw for 78 on the back foot, but it was not as much a triumph as a nerve-calmer.
Rashid is young and introverted and assimilates suggestions gradually. Yorkshire appealed to England not to fast-track him, so they gambled unsuccessfully with him last summer in World Twenty20 as a bowler with a difference; Terry Jenner, who coached Shane Warne, pleaded "change nothing until he is 25" so England fiddled at 21. The result is a mess that Yorkshire will do well to sort out.

3 table. Money supply indicators (2013-2014) (page 15)
The transmission mechanism of the monetary policy from instruments to proximate targets such as money supply, exchange rate and liquidity in Lithuania's case can be achieved only by implementing the monetary policy. The implementation of the monetary policy possibilities could: (see 1 pic.)
1 table. Backing for the total amount of litas in circulation (12/2013-12/2014) (outstanding amounts at the end of the period, EUR million)
2 table contains data on the base money in the period from 12/2013 to 12/2014.
3 table contains data on various money supply indicators in the period of 2013-2014. Below explanations on the indicators are given:
Base money – currency in circulation, credit institutions' current accounts and required reserves.
The course of applying monetary policy in Lithuania was very unstable because Lithuania for a long period of time was a part of rouble zone and it began after Bank of Lithuania was re-established in 1990. Two important dates that changed nation's monetary policy were 1999 when guidelines for the application of the Bank of Lithuania monetary policy were published and 2001 when new law of the Bank of Lithuania came into the force;
Before the introduction of the euro, Lithuania had to adapt to the European Central Bank's methodology of developing the monetary policy and also to ensure the compliance with the criteria of the Maastricht Treaty (stability of macroeconomic indicators, related to inflation, government budget deficit, currency exchange rate and long temr interest rates);
Statistical indicators of monetary policy in Lithuania shows that from the end of 2013 till the end of 2014, the total amount of litas in circulation was not stable but increased totally by 25,59%; base money was growing constantly and increased totally by 72,65%; money supply indicators shows positive tendencies.

A show of hands
The dainty handprints of schoolchildren mingle with the larger helping hands of teachers. The impressions
of fingers and palms dance across the bronze and stainless steel relief sculpture near the entrance to the new Harrison School on Peoria's south side. The 10-foot-tall sculpture seems to wave at passersby at the school's front door, a welcome sight for a school surviving in an economically depressed neighborhood.
The sculptures are the work of Fisher Stolz, an art professor at Bradley for the past 16 years, and Jaci Willis, MFA '09, his former student and fellow art instructor at Bradley.
The sculptures include 230 students' handprints and five circles, each representing a different age group and grade level through their size, thickness and elevation. In addition to the large sculpture at the school's front entrance, smaller sculptures are positioned at the back entryway and at each of the interior wings of the school.
"The linked rings, with handprints in size relative to the age group represented, move upward from the lower right corner to the upper left. The stainless steel arcs outside the rings represent the ripple effect the school will have in the community."
The relief series is en-titled Imprints of Education, a reference to the impact education has on individuals and the greater effect on the community. "I value education and the progression of growth through education. This will be seen by generations and hopefully will be an inspiration."
While Stolz was working on Imprints this summer, he was finishing another piece entitled Event that has recently been installed in the main lobby of the Peoria Civic Center. The Civic Center hosts about 700,000 visitors a year, and it has become the primary entertainment and meeting venue for the region. Stolz created a piece that complements the colors and feel of the lobby, which was designed to represent the flow of the nearby Illinois River. From outside a fourth floor ballroom, the sculpture overlooks the lobby and a majestic atrium, much like someone standing on the bluff looking over the river.
Stolz considered the many ways the Civic Center is used in the community: wedding receptions, car shows, creativity forums, ballet, concerts, Bradley basketball games, and more. "The Civic Center brings people together, is informative, entertaining, promotes discussions, and adds to our quality of life. I wanted to create something that describes an event and how it comes together.
"The sculpture uses collective visual language and symbols with specific elements that characterize my work, such as incorporating angles and arcs together, combining stone and steel, and the use of a sphere as a focal point," he says.
"I see the larger main support arcs as perspectives from different areas and the truss characteristics as individuals offering support. The primary limestone form references the coming together of perspectives into a cohesive idea. The sphere penetrated by the idea is the culmination of the event. The sculpture portrays the concepts of an event's inception, growth, and fruition.
"Event should pique interest as it is seen from the ground floor level and engage individuals and groups in the open area outside the upper ballrooms," he says.
Event was commissioned through a grant received by ArtsPartners of Central Illinois in collaboration with the Peoria Civic Center.
Stolz lived in northern Virginia and Georgia before moving to Peoria in 1994. He is a board member and vice president of Chicago Sculpture International. In 2000, he was named one of Peoria's 40 Leaders Under Forty and was that class' recipient of the Community Leadership School Scholarship.
He appreciates the opportunity to create public sculptures in Peoria. "This piece and the one at Harrison School will involve people in conversation and will have a positive impact on the community," he says.

Brief Encounter With … Vanessa Kirby
Editorial Staff • Blackpool, Bolton, Chester, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, Oldham, Salford • 22 Jan 2010
David Thacker, has put his own twist on the Shakespeare classic. How does it differ from the original and do you feel that the change works?
In terms of text, the play is exactly the same. It is set in Athens, but in 1968, which really works. It shows the differentiation between the strict regime of Theseus, the Duke, and a dream world relevant to the time. In the 60's, the repressive regime included the Beatles (and even the letter Z!) being banned. The dream world is the exact opposite of this regime- it becomes the inner psyche of all the characters, where everybody has extreme emotions and their own inner sexuality. There's freedom, there's love, and it's really shown in the psychedelic set! It's like a playground, with crazy stairs and plenty of opportunities to trip up!
What do you like about Helena?
When I first auditioned for David, he offered me parts for All my Sons, Ghosts and A Midsummer Nights Dream all at the same time. When I read Helena initially I found her quite whingey, a bit desperate and I just wanted to tell her to 'Shut up!' and 'Keep your dignity!' The more I've been doing it, I feel that she's so brave and strong. She's self-aware, knowing exactly what she wants and she realises that women shouldn't have to run after the men- she believes that they should be wooed! It's truly amazing to play her and to declare love with such passion.
This is your third time performing at the Octagon, having made your professional debut there in October- what do you like most about the venue?
It's in the round and it's spacious. The intimacy of the venue is probably what I like the most.
You having already won the MEN award for 'emerging talent.' Which roles are you particularly eager to play?
There's lots of things, but I've recently just been offered a part with the National, which has always been a dream! It's a tragic play called Women Beware Women by Thomas Middleton, the writer of The Changeling. I was so nervous when I auditioned, but I've learned so much through David, and managed to get the part of Isabella (who strangely falls in love with her Uncle!) I finish here on the 6th March, pack up my life, and move to London, so that's the next role I'm thinking about. My agent would quite like me to do some film as well, but I feel a lot more confident on the stage at the moment. Playing an Elf in the Hobbit would be amusing!
Reading English at the University of Exeter, what inspired you to get involved in an acting career?
It's cliché and I've heard so many actors say it, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. I was always bossing my little cousins about and making them do plays when we were younger. I'd always be the main part, of course! I remember one Christmas I wrote down all the lines from Fawlty Towers so that we could perform it! When I was 18, I auditioned for Bristol Old Vic, got shortlisted and then didn't get in. They told me to come back in a few years. I went travelling, and then thought I should go to uni, grow up and just be around lots of different people. When I wasn't doing my degree, I was rehearsing, getting involved in any plays I could. It was weird when I first got paid, because I had done it so long for free. I've been so lucky and have the best agent in the world. I just want to make him proud and do him justice!
How are you enjoying working with the rest of the cast?
It's a lot bigger than the casts for Ghosts and All My Sons, with loads more young people and older people too. It's a totally different atmosphere. In the other two plays, it was like a little family, with us being together from August-December, and I was the baby of the cast. This is really energised and creative and we have loads of little, hectic rehearsals. There's a strong sense of ensemble as well, especially through the live music, with people playing electric guitars and banging on drums! Hopefully it will all merge into a good production.
Finally, why should an audience come and watch A Midsummer Nights Dream?
In ten years, the Octagon has only seen two Shakespeare productions. It's an inviting title and I think that's why David chose it- people know it more and it's extremely funny. It's full of chasing and endless passion. I was saying to my friend before, it is like the Twilight phenomenon, where sexual desire doesn't have to be explicit to be believed. It's just so relevant and full of energy. David has also made sure that he has made it as accessible as possible, so that it is more interesting and understandable for the audience.
Vanessa Kirby was speaking to Rebecca Cohen.
A Midsummer Night's Dream runs at the Octagon from 4 Feb - 6 March. For more details, visit the theatre's website.

text: 1 M. , 2 L. Simon, Jacob, J. 1 Scott County Extension Agent, University of Kentucky, Georgetown, KY 40324 2Univeristy of Kentucky Cooperative Extension, UK Extension Specialist, Lexington, KY 40564 Abstract: Response: Scott County has experienced a significant increase in poultry production over the last four years in a wide array of operations ranging from commercial flocks of 700 birds to small backyard flocks for pleasure and enjoyment, to farms working towards a goal of sustainability and providing eggs and meat for their own consumption. In response to the growing popularity of this commodity the Scott County Extension Agent for Agriculture and Natural Resources coordinated programming to increase the knowledge base of these farmers on basic topics like nutritional requirements, disease prevention, and management tips to increase egg production and increase the overall successfulness in their flock. Upon receiving numerous questions and diagnostic samples of chickens that had died from respiratory illness, Extension Agent, Michelle Simon, coordinated a workshop on "Improving Management of Poultry Flocks". This session responded to the producers experiencing these problems on a more in depth basis by starting from the beginning with the basics. The majority of the respiratory and eye illness that was causing a decrease in production or death in the flock were caused by a lack of knowledge in basic management and nutrition. Farm visits to a farm experiencing issues with their chickens not laying eggs before and after the program showed a positive response to the workshop. After adjusting the diet from wheat to a feed mixture of corn, soybean meal (protein sources), and minerals the hens began laying eggs and the overall health of the flock greatly improved. Objective: The primary objective of this program in Scott County was to educate farmers and poultry enthusiasts about the importance of proper nutrition and flock management techniques to reduce disease and infection to lead to healthier flocks producing more eggs and meat. These chickens were infected with the viral disease Infectious Bronchitis. This disease will cause chickens to have "watery" eyes and the eggs will have rough shells and watery albumens. Newcastle Disease: respiratory disease caused by virus typically transmitted in situations with no biosecurity. Results: Barred Rock chickens, a dual purpose breed, are recommended for small flocks. Once the hens egg production decreases and the hens are ready to be processed, there is more meat than typical laying breeds. Using dual purpose breeds are more economical for this reason. Doug & Renee Corrigan, Scott County farmers, built a mobile chicken coop that can be drug between their rows of berries to provide fertilization and reduce weed growth. Waterers were built so they can be filled from the outside of coop. 5 gallon buckets were cut in half for nesting boxes. "Improving Management of Poultry Flocks" was offered to all sizes of operations and amounts of experience. Dr. Jacquie Jacob, University of Kentucky Poultry Extension Specialist, delivered basic nutrition fundamentals that could prevent the majority of illness and disease that producers had experienced. Dr. Jacob also presented information to attendants regarding optimal breeds to use depending on whether they were raising chickens for eggs or meat, disease identification, prevention, and treatment, and utilized time for a helpful question and answer session. Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension Agent, Michelle Simon, followed up with program attendants on their farms to examine the management changes and give recommendations that could potentially improve the operations further. Situation: Since 2010, the Scott County Cooperative Extension Service has received numerous questions and diagnostic samples from local poultry producers regarding health issues with their poultry flocks. The majority of the chickens experiencing these health issues did not survive the illness and the majority of the producers fighting these problems with their flocks were new to the business. With the growing popularity of sustainability, farmer's markets, and interest in small hobby farms- interest in raising poultry has grown tremendously in Scott County. Many of these producers have little to no experience with raising and managing poultry. There was a need for these producers to learn more about nutritional, vitamin, and mineral requirements before expanding their flocks to reduce disease, illness, and loss of chickens. Once this knowledge was gained, producers could manage their flocks better and improve the economics of their operation. Triple J Farm raises 600 free range chickens and repurposed barn material and silage wagons for chickens to roost at night. They also use 5 gallon buckets for nesting boxes and pieces of hay rings inside of these mobile coops. Conclusion: Figure 3. Northern Fowl Mite Figure 1. Sticktight Fleas Figure 2. Scaly Leg Mite External Parasites of Poultry: Sticktight fleas, Scaly leg mites, Fowl mites, and Chicken body lice are common parasites that Scott County producers were experiencing. Treatment of Parasites: Extensive discussion was held regarding treatment. The use of Sevin dust, Linseed oil, and Vaseline are recommended for control of these parasites. In conclusion, Extension educators need to continue teaching the fundamentals of raising different species of livestock. By stressing the fundamental importance of nutrition and management, reproduction, weight gain, and overall health will be achieved. It is also important to teach producers new to the industry the economics of decisions for their flocks. Many of the flock health management decisions producers are faced with are very costly for small flocks and not always the best use of finances. Since the audience of the workshop varied from backyard flocks to commercial flocks of approximately seven hundred chickens, economics were discussed at length. The workshop participants were surveyed following the session and all reflected the workshop was beneficial to them as individuals, especially the time dedicated for a question and answer session to delve deeper into individual topics. Acknowledgements: Figure 4. Chicken Body Lice Special thanks to Dr. Jacquie Jacob for teaching the workshop, and participants: Triple J Farm and Doug & Renee Corrigan, for allowing us to utilize their flocks for picture descriptions.

of my mystique, a dragback fuck-
a poisionous whisper filtered through my
legs. an unconventional embrace
your body, my body- hardened clay
as we break- shatter in the name
of body-art pottery.
and your ceramic limbs, sharp and numb-fucking
wrapped their breadth around mine;
twine and wine for the faggots.
i scream in defiance but am muffled
by the chords of your voice
techno familiarity as it wraps it's song
slowly around my lower back, sweaty with
and I can do nothing but sing-
muted, silent-
a mirror lover- it's myself I love.

Serious signs of inflation in the economy would give gold fanatics a long-awaited I-told-you-so moment, having inaccurately predicted for years now that government spending and market interference would cause prices to rise quickly. Such a scenario is supposed to drive up the price of gold as the value of a dollar crumbles. The fanatics may yet be right about inflation, and some very important people are worrying about it too. But there's a catch: gold investors have gotten poorer, not richer, because of that worrying.
Gold prices have dropped this year mainly because Federal Reserve officials have grown more concerned about inflation. At recent meetings of the Federal Open Market Committee, some of them worried that continuing the Fed's bond-buying policy – that market interference gold bugs so disdain – is too risky because it could be inflationary. The possibility that the Fed might discontinue the buying sparked a massive outflow from gold in January when the minutes of that meeting were released. When the FOMC's February minutes (released Feb. 20) showed Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and his let's-buy-aggressively cohorts were still in charge of policy, gold prices stabilized somewhat. Here's a stock chart for the exchange-traded fund that tracks gold prices, SPDR Gold Shares (GLD):
Bernanke as savior of gold prices is pretty ironic, considering his policies are the epitome of wrongheadedness in gold-bug-think. But the whole event raises a more fundamental question for any gold investor: what, really, can make the price of gold rise again?
The go-to answer to that question has always been inflation. Big government spending, particularly via bailout plans and direct buying in the bond markets, was expected to spark serious, even runaway, inflation, among gold devotees. Inflation, arguably, makes gold more valuable because it becomes a safe haven when currency values decline. This expectation was a critical factor in the doubling of gold prices between 2007 and 2011.
At the moment, though, any sign of inflation in the economy backfires on gold investors because it makes the Fed more likely to end its bond buying program. Bernanke's plan calls for intervention until the job market improves, but even he would likely cut it short if the price of goods started rising quickly. And that program, it turns out, is critical for maintaining market expectations for inflation; perhaps more critical than investors realized.
The problem is that the evidence of worrisome inflation in the economy is slim even as the Fed continues to play along. January data shows both consumer and producer core prices up less than 2% in the previous 12 months.
Anything that spooks the Fed out of the market now would lower the likelihood of problematic inflation in the future, and most forecasters already put that likelihood at pretty low. The Fed's inflation forecasts remains at or below 2% through at least 2015. While there's sure to be skepticism from certain camps about government inflation forecasts, it looks like many investors believe in this one. For example, the ProShares 30 Year TIPS/Treasury spread chart (RINF) rises with inflation expectations. (It measures the difference between inflation-protected securities and plain Treasury bonds). It's not exactly going vertical now.
Gold mining stocks -- Barrick Gold (ABX), Newmont Mining (NEM), Goldcorp (GG), Kinross Gold (KGC), Gold Fields (GFI), Novagold (NG) -- have been hit even harder than the price of gold.
Really, the best thing for gold bug fortunes now would be for the Fed to keep doing the thing they find most distasteful; steadily plying billions of dollars into the markets, feeding fears of inflation. Right now, Ben Bernanke is about the best friend a gold investor could want.

Tropical Storm Dorian formed way out in the Atlantic Ocean on Wednesday, and so far its projected cone path from the National Hurricane Center has not really changed. The storm is still way out there, but its path puts the storm as a risk to the Caribbean and ultimately to the United States.
As of mid-day Friday the storm is projected to be northeast of Puerto Rico by early on Monday morning, on the northern side of the Dominican Republic and Haiti by Tuesday morning, and on the northern side of the eastern part of Cuba on Wednesday morning.
American Cities Where Wages Are Plummeting
The good news right now is that Dorian is currently projected to remain a tropical storm the entire time between now and then. The bad news is that we have seen through time that some storms strengthen (or dissipate) much differently than multi-day projections.
Dorian's current path on mid-Friday is west-by-northwest, moving at 21 miles per hour, but with maximum sustained winds of 50 miles per hour.
Here is the latest image from NOAA on the projected cone path for Tropical Storm Dorian. We then have an Accuweather image showing the strength and projected paths.

Everything Money – PACs
Everything Money – PACs: Are political action committees playing an increasingly central role in the election process. Special interest groups have already spent $80 million on midterm election campaigns this year. That is five times the amount spent at the same point in 2006. Where are the PACSs getting this money? Nobody really knows. Much of the giving is secretive and impossible to trace, as donors are not required to disclose their contributions to either the IRS or the Federal Election Commission. And by all accounts, the influence of PACs will continue to rise, thanks to a recent Supreme Court ruling that that removed spending limitations on unions, corporations and other interest groups. Here to shine a light on this shadowy world is our "Everything Money" financial guru Sheryl Marshall.

Groupon founder and CEO Andrew Mason says that he isn't surprised that Groupon's board is talking about replacing him, saying "I care far more about the business than about being the CEO."
Mason was interviewed at the Business Insider Ignition conference in New York, and was asked point blank by Henry Blodget what he thought about the rumors.
"Here's a news flash: our stock is down about eighty percent since we IPO'd a year ago. It would be weird if the board was not discussing whether I was the right guy for the job," Mason said. "If I ever thought I wasn't the right guy for the job, I would be the first one to fire myself."
Mason argued that he is setting the company up for long-term growth, and that is not reflected in the recent stock prices.
"We have built up a resiliency to the external noise, because we know that what is in the best interests of our shareholders is not optimizing for 3 months from now, but optimizing for 3 years from now," he said. "Our stock is going to reflect long term performance."
At the end of the interview, Blodget again pressed Mason on what he thought would happen at the company shareholder meeting tomorrow. Mason took a moment, and responded with a statement that seems to suggest that while he wants to remain CEO, he isn't sure what will happen.
"As the founder and creator of Groupon, as a large shareholder, as a customer of the product, I care far more about the business than about being the CEO."
