Affordable housing units, business recruitment and new jobs among wins in Denver Office of Economic Development's 2015 Annual Report
Denver, CO -- A year of strong gains in Denver's economic infrastructure included the creation of 4,164 new jobs, the successful retention of 3,076 jobs, and the creation of 628 affordable housing units, all accomplished through direct efforts of the Denver Office of Economic Development (OED), the office announced in releasing its 2015 annual report.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Foxx Recommends $3.5 Billion to Expand Transit Options that Improve Access to Jobs and Opportunities
Thursday, February 11 2016
Washington -- U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx highlighted $3.5 billion recommended in President Obama's Fiscal Year 2017 budget to advance the construction or completion of 31 rail, bus rapid transit and streetcar projects in 18 states. These projects, competitively funded through the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Capital Investment Grant (CIG) Program, would create thousands of construction and operations-related jobs and help communities expand transportation choices that offer new ladders of opportunity for residents.
"Since 2009, the Obama Administration has funded nearly 100 new and expanded mass transit projects in numerous cities and metropolitan areas across the country," said Secretary Foxx. "These projects transform communities, improving mobility and access to jobs, education and other important opportunities for millions of people. Public transit is an important ally in the effort to ensure that hard-working Americans are offered a chance to succeed in the 21st century economy."

Landside freight transportation funds would increase; navigation, port security & emission reduction funds would drop
The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) -- The recognized and unified voice of the seaport industry, is encouraged by the potential of significant gains for landside freight transportation programs in President Obama's fiscal 2017 budget. However, AAPA is disappointed in the proposed funding levels for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers coastal navigation programs, the Environmental Protection Agency's Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) grants, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Port Security Grant program.
The proposed budget reflects the funding increases and freight focus evident in the recently-enacted FAST Act that President Obama signed into law in December, which includes close to $2 billion in dedicated freight funding. Additionally, the budget calls for a new 21st Century Clean Transportation Plan that would significantly increase funding for TIGER (Transportation Investments Generating Economic Recovery). If adopted, that would push TIGER funding from $500 million to $1.25 billion.

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said on Thursday that he would recuse himself from any investigations into apparent Russian interfering in the 2016 U.S. presidential election because he was tangled in the Trump campaign.
But Sessions, who was a long-time U.S. senator before becoming the country's top law enforcement official, said that he did nothing wrong when he didn't disclose during Senate testimony that he had met last year with Russia's ambassador.
"I have recused myself in the matters that deal with the Trump campaign," Sessions told reporters in the latest turn of the hullabaloo that is building over connections between Trump associates and Russia that has been a problem since the early days of Trump's presidency.
U.S. intelligence agencies concluded last year that Russia hacked and leaked Democratic emails during the election campaign as part of an effort to tilt the vote in Trump's favor. The Kremlin has denied the allegations.
RECUSE vs RESIGN
Sessions made the comments at a hurriedly news conference after several of his fellow Republicans in Congress called for him to recuse himself from investigations and Democrats urged him to resign.
Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) said Thursday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions needs to resign and be investigated by the Department of Justice's inspector general to conclude whether he blocked an investigation into Russian influence.
"There cannot be even a scintilla of doubt about the impartiality and fairness of the attorney general, the top law enforcement official of the land," Schumer told reporters at a news conference. "It's clear Attorney General Sessions does not meet that test. Because the Department of Justice should be above reproach, for the good of the country, Attorney General Sessions should resign."
Schumer, who for weeks has called for Sessions to recuse himself from the Justice Department's investigation of contacts between Trump campaign and Russian intelligence agents, stepped up his demands after The Washington Post reported Wednesday night that Sessions misinformed Congress about meeting with the Russian ambassador.
There are just too many maneuvering that leads me as a voter to believe the Trump administration is hiding something.

23:30 UTC Thursday, September 7
Michael Kozar, senior modeler – Model Development, RMS
The RMS HWind team based in Tallahassee have released their latest track probability analysis of the current model forecasts. This analysis, based on forecast models initialized at 12:00 UTC today Thursday, shows that Irma's projected path has shifted further south and west than the previous forecasts. The highest probabilities now run through southeastern Florida (as shown by the shaded data), with Miami having a nearly 60 percent chance of the storm passing within 50 nautical miles of the city.
Looking at the two largest cluster scenarios (forecast scenarios 1 and 2), these have Irma moving near or directly over the southern edge of the Florida Peninsula with impacts continuing into central Florida and up the Atlantic coastline — this corresponds well with the shaded density data shown in the image.
Uncertainty in when Irma will turn northwards is driving the different forecast tracks for U.S. impact, though regardless of exact track, impact to south Florida is likely, though still not completely certain as shown by the lower probability scenarios.
In terms of the power of Irma, using RMS HWind's unique Integrated Kinetic Energy (IKE) metric for storm size and surge destructive potential, comparing Irma to Andrew using IKE provides a compelling representation of Irma's destructiveness:
- Irma has similar intensity to Andrew (1992) now, but five times more storm surge forcing than Andrew
- In our latest HWind snapshot at 21:00 UTC, Irma is now at 112 terajoule (TJ) peak sustained wind near 170 miles per hour (mph), for comparison:
o Andrew at landfall was about 20 TJ when peak sustained wind was 170 mph
o Harvey at landfall was 30 TJ peak sustained wind was 130 mph
o Wilma (2005) at landfall was also about 120 TJ when peak sustained wind was 111 mph
For more information on RMS HWind, RMS clients can consult their account representatives for details on the latest RMS HWind updates.

Porn Blocker SoftwareWritten by Michael O'Brien
It's pretty clear how important the use of a porn blocker is in schools or the workplace. Now how do you implement something like this? Porn blocker software may be the solution you are looking for.
How Porn Blocker Software Works
One way a piece of web content filtering software will block porn is by looking for certain keywords in the URL or web address that are most commonly found on sites containing pornography. There are also other characteristics typically found in those kinds of sites that porn blocker software can use to determine what type of site is being visited, and to restrict user access accordingly.
Emails containing certain links and URLs can also be monitored and blocked with the right kind of web filtering program in place. Programmers are becoming very sneaky and innovative nowadays. By sending SPAM an email sever filter may not know to place in a person's junk mail folder, the email subject and message may look innocent enough. But clicking on the link may take the user, quite inadvertently, to a site containing offensive content. Again, the right software can help.
It All Adds Up
Nothing is certain of course. Due to the unpredictable and insidious nature of web access today, there's no way of preventing all offensive content from getting through. But access to such content can be severely curtailed, and in the end, lead to a much more professional work environment.

PHOTO: Maersk Supply Service launches Starfish AHTS vessel
Maersk Supply Service has launched its first of six Starfish anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels at the Kleven Verft shipyard in Norway.
The Danish offshore vessel provider posted a picture on social media on Monday showing the 23,065bhp AHTS being launched into the water. According to the company, the vessel was launched on Friday, June 10.
This is the first of six newbuild Starfish anchor handlers being built for Maersk Supply Service. Delivery of the first two vessels is expected to be in the fourth quarter of 2016 while the remaining four will be delivered during 2017.
Modules for the first Starfish were towed to the Kleven Yard in Norway from Poland via an Ugland barge towed by Svitzer tug "Frigga" in April.
Maersk Supply Service said that the newbuild Starfish AHTS has 'state-of-the-art' equipment aboard and a bollard pull of more than 230 tons and towing drums designed for 500 tonnes of pull force. Specs claim that the vessel has a 4,600 tonnes of deadweight capacity, and a deck capacity of 2,500 tonnes.
The DP 2 vessel is 95 meters long, 25 meters wide and has an ROV garage for one ROV Launch and Recovery System (LARS) with a built-in ROV control room. It can accommodate 52 persons.

If an IUD is inserted, an immune reaction in the body that can "kick out" an HPV infection.
Women who use an intrauterine device for birth control may have a lower risk of developing cervical cancer, according to a new review and meta-analysis.
In the new study, published yesterday (Nov. 8) in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, the researchers found that the number of cases of cervical cancer was a third lower in women who have an intrauterine device (IUD) than in those who did not use such a device.
The researchers warned that, because the review does not include clinical work to determine how an IUD can avoid cervical cancer, the results do not mean that people need to get of the device for the prevention of cancer, said lead author Victoria Cortessis, an epidemiologist at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California.
But the findings are striking, Cortessis told Live Science.
"I think we're ready to say is that this pattern is what you would expect if" it was true that Iuds decrease in the risk of cervical cancer, Cortessis said. "It looks real. It smells really, but really to be convinced, we need to go back and do studies to find a mechanism."
The researchers said they now plan to study the mechanisms by which Iuds can reduce the rate of cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer is almost always caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), according to the World Health Organization. But only 1 in 10 women who have an HPV infection to develop cervical cancer, Cortessis said. This happens when the immune system of the body does not kill off the HPV and the viral infection continues, eventually causing cervical cancer.
An IUD may lower a woman's risk of cervical cancer by helping to fight off an HPV infection, Cortessis hypothesis. If an IUD is inserted, an immune reaction in the body that can "kick out" an HPV infection, she said. Another possible mechanism would be a long-term immune response, " she said. The immune system responds over time to the foreign body of the IUD and the immune response can also focus on the HPV, Cortessis said.
In the meta-analysis, the researchers looked at 16 studies that included a total of more than 12,000 women from around the world. All of the studies contained data about the individual women, their IUD use and their history of cervical cancer. The study also included information about the risk factors for the disease, such as the age at first vaginal intercourse and when the women had HPV.

The methodology used by the researchers was "very good", said Eduardo Franco, director of cancer epidemiology at McGill University in Montreal, who was not involved in the new test.
Confounding variables or factors that the researcher can't control — have long been a worry in research on Iuds and cervical cancer, Franco told Live Science. And despite the analysis of confounding variables and robust size of the review, there are still concerns about the continued confounding variables until there is a clinical study, " he said.
Cortessis agreed that confounding variables are a limitation of the meta-analysis. But it does not matter how the data is tested against these variables, the researchers found the same results, she said, The rate of cervical cancer in IUD users was a third lower than among non-users.
"It is wonderful, really," Cortessis said.
Access to preventive services such as screenings, cervical cancer and the HPV vaccine is driving the rates of cancer in some parts of the world, but the rates have increased in others, according to the review. The researchers noted that Iuds appeared to have the strongest influence on populations that had less access to these services
For the sake of these women, Cortessis said she is hopeful that clinical trials will confirm her analysis. "These are the ladies who need it the most," she said. "Rates are going to explode in the coming decades, if we don't find something very, very impressive to do to young ladies."

A fine finished bowl form in North Queensland Red Bloodwood with almost complete natural edge. The piece features extensive natural perforation and exquisite random grain structure.
Completed: February 2015
Availability / Cost: Sold - AUD $1450
Dimensions: 36 cm x 28 cm x 9 cm
Materials: Wood - Red Bloodwood Burl (Corymbia intermedia)
Finish: Hybrid hand-rubbed epoxy / drying oil
I generally don't do a lot of work with burl timber … I find it too 'busy' and it ends up being that the nature of the wood overpowers the shape of the form. And, it is the form that I'm primarily interested in.
However, that doesn't mean that I 'won't' use burl wood and, to prove it, I have a healthy collection of cut burls to draw on. Needless to say, I tend to only buy burls that are stunning … if I am to use wood that will to be the main focus of the piece, it may as well be the best I can get.
The bloodwood burl from which this piece is created is definitely no exception. Bloodwoods exhibit a large amount of resin veining in the wood and they are always prominent in the burls … usually as more or less concentric rings. This burl is made even more stunning by the extensive piercing right through the mass of the wood.
Unlike perforations due to insect damage, the piercings seen in this burl are natural and conform to the grain structure and placement of the resin deposits … and are probably in fact caused by shrinkage of the resin as the tree grows leaving behind voids.
The bowl is quite fine with an average wall thickness around the rim of about 5mm or so. It is, therefore, delicate and does need to be treated with some care. This is one of those pieces that has lathe workers' ducking for cover when they fly apart on the lathe. The way that I work with an angle grinder, self-destruction of the piece is less of an issue but I do have to be very careful in working and handling not to break the almost crystalline structure of the burl wood.
I chose to keep the edges of the rim very square and hard because I really like the effect it gives to the ragged section of the natural edge. It's an almost mechanical edge to an otherwise very organic form.

Indonesia plans to further separate terrorist inmates Abu Bakar Bashir and Aman Abdurrahman by moving them out of Nusakambangan prison island, where they have already been locked up in isolation cells.
One of the two leaders of the Jemaah Islamiah (JI) militant group may even be moved to a remote prison complex in West Kalimantan, said Law and Human Rights Minister Yasonna Laoly on Thursday (April 7).
He added that the government decided to move the clerics away from Nusakambangan to curb their influence on other inmates as well as their followers outside of prison.
"When we visited Nusakambangan in February, Menkopolhukam (and I) agreed that we should not put too many terrorists in one place," he said after a Cabinet meeting at the Presidential Palace on Thursday afternoon.
Menkopolhukam is the Indonesian designation of Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Luhut Pandjaitan, who with Mr Yasonna, oversees the state penitentiary system.
Responding to questions on when and where Aman and Bashir will be relocated, Mr Yasonna would only say that the government is deciding whether to use a prison in Bengkayang regency, West Kalimantan for some high-profile terrorists.
"Some of them will be moved... but we will discuss further with BNPT and other parties," he added, referring to the Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Terorisme (BNPT), or the national counter-terrorism agency.
When pressed to confirm if both Aman and Bashir will be transferred to Bengkayang, Mr Yasonna only said: "No, Bashir is not going there, he is too old, we leave this to BNPT to decide who are fit to be moved there."
Aman and Bashir were jailed in 2010 for setting up of a JI militant training camp in Aceh.
Bashir, the spiritual leader of the now disbanded JI, is appealing against his extended prison sentence, while Aman could be released as early as December in 2018.
Both were sent to isolation cells after initial police investigations found that they may be involved in the Jan 14 terror attack in Jakarta that killed four bystanders.
The probe has now shifted its focus on Aman, after the police discovered that the four militants who mounted the strike on the capital had visited Aman in prison at least three times before the attack.
Indonesian intelligence had also traced phone calls originating from Nusakambangan, a maximum-security prison complex, to Syria.
Aman is suspected to have made some of those calls to someone in Raqqa, the stronghold of Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
A source told The Straits Times previously that calls were uncovered by investigators examining 14 mobile phones found in a jail cell shared by Aman and JI operative Iwan Darmawan Muntho, alias Rois.

Here's why I love writing about baseball. Josh Reddick was traded to the Athletics from the Red Sox and everyone called him a fourth outfielder. I took umbrage and decided to see if I could see a third outfielder in there. After feeling that I had done so successfully, the next day I tried to project the player from a more conservative angle. Suddenly, the player didn't look so nice.
One player, one writer, two minds. Baseball is great!

The Possibility of an Island (Mathis B. Nitschke)
Digital: iTUNES | AMAZON | eMUSIC | SPOTIFY
[itunes id="307229883″]
Famous author Michel Houellebecq directed the film version of his novel La Possibilité d'une île last year and hired German composer Mathis B. Nitschke to write the strikingly original score.
Nitschke has written numerous scores for the stage as well as concert works, and his score for Possibility of an Island showcases a composer with a style of his own, channelled through different settings in the score: Possibility of an Island is an orchestral score with several epic elements, such as a big fanfare and big romantic statements where the orchestra is joined by choir, but it also features many intimate moments with solos for viola and piano, and a quirky electronic waltz.
Possibility of an Island was one of the most unusual and interesting film scores of 2008 and one that really deserves a CD release!

Timberman for iOS is a simple and straightforward tree chopping game. This one is highly repetitious and just might give you OCD if you don't already have it.
Timberman presents in portrait mode, delivering a free trip to the loony bin if you play it for too long. As the story goes, there's some really humongous trees out there, just asking for it. You know the kind: the ones that took centuries to grow to astronomical heighte. The pride and joy of virtually any national park. The source of inspiration and wonderment; that make you see the world through pure eyes and with a clean heart. The sort of nature's beauty you just can't see anywhere, and makes you rethink your paltry little problems. Yes, that kind of tree - and you're gonna chop it down to make toothpicks, Popsicle sticks, and barbecue skewers.
In another sign of total mindless excess, just tap the left or right sides of the screen to chop down one of nature's true wonders, one stump at a time. Tap, tap, tap; chop, chop, chop. It's never ending, oh so sad, and oh so boring. Every once in a while you gotta switch sides so as to not get crushed by a low hanging branch (yippie!) in what is perhaps this mighty tree's last ditch effort at survival. You can play with an array of silly lumberjacks, provided you're dumb enough to pay for them.
Timberman is a mindless game that will entertain for a a few minutes at most. Just keep in mind, when we're all living in that apocalyptic, industrial future, with no sun and limited oxygen, we'll have mentality like this to thank for it. But hey, at least you were entertained for a few minutes, and that's what's really important here.

The genesis of continental collision-related porphyry Cu deposits (PCDs) remains controversial. The most common hypothesis links their genesis with magmas derived from subduction-modified arc lithosphere. However, it is unclear whether a genetic linkage exists between collision- and subduction-related PCDs. Here, we studied Jurassic subduction-related Cu-Au and Miocene collision-related Cu-Mo porphyry deposits in south Tibet. The Jurassic PCDs occur only in the western segment of the Jurassic arc, which has depleted mantle-like isotopic compositions [e.g., (87Sr/86Sr)i = 0.7041–0.7048; εNd(t) as high as 7.5, and εHf(t) as high as 18]. By contrast, no Jurassic PCDs have been found in the eastern arc segment, which is isotopically less juvenile [e.g., (87Sr/86Sr)i = 0.7041–0.7063, εNd(t) < 4.5, and εHf(t) ≤ 12]. These results imply that incorporation of crustal components during underplating of Jurassic magma induced copper accumulation as sulfides at the base of the eastern Jurassic arc, inhibiting PCD formation at this time. Miocene PCDs are spatially confined to the Jurassic arc, and the giant Miocene PCDs cluster in its eastern segment where no Jurassic PCDs occur. This suggests that the arc segment barren for subduction-related PCDs could be fertile for collision-related PCDs. Miocene ore-forming porphyries have young Hf model ages and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic compositions overlapping with those of the Jurassic rocks in the eastern segment, whereas contemporaneous barren porphyries outside the Jurassic arc have abundant zircon inheritance and crust-like Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic compositions. These data suggest that remelting of the lower crustal sulfide-bearing Cu-rich Jurassic cumulates, triggered by Cenozoic crustal thickening and/or subsequent slab break-off, led to the formation of giant Miocene PCDs. The spatial overlap and complementary metal endowment between subduction- and collision-related magmas may be used to evaluate the mineral potential for such deposits in other orogenic belts.
Most porphyry Cu deposits (PCDs) form in magmatic arcs worldwide and are associated with hydrous (>4 wt% H2O) calc-alkaline magmas, derived from an asthenospheric mantle wedge metasomatized by slab fluids (Richards, 2003). Subduction processes are thought to ultimately cause enrichment of metals (Cu, Au) and S (Griffin et al., 2013) and the relatively high oxygen fugacity () and high H2O contents in arc magmas (Kelley and Cottrell, 2009) that are critical to the formation of PCDs. Recently, such PCDs have been found in collisional zones such as that in Tibet, where they are associated with post-collisional magmas emplaced as isolated complexes within the Jurassic–Cretaceous magmatic arcs (Hou et al., 2004). These magmas are thought to derive by remelting of a thickened juvenile mafic lower crust (Hou et al., 2004) resulting from previous arc magmatism (Richards, 2009; Hou et al., 2009; Li et al., 2011) with subduction-associated PCDs (Tafti et al., 2009). This model implies a spatial relationship between subduction- and collision-related PCDs, but it is unclear whether a genetic linkage exists.
Here, we report new geological, geochemical, and isotopic data for Jurassic subduction- and Miocene collision-related PCDs in southern Tibet. Our new evidence suggests that remelting of sulfide-bearing, lower crustal cumulates of former arc magmas associated with subduction-related PCDs could produce giant collision-related PCDs.
The India-Asia continental collision zone was built on a complex tectonic collage of terranes accreted onto the southern margin of the Asian continent since the Mesozoic (Fig. 1A; Yin and Harrison, 2000). The Lhasa terrane, bounded by the Meso-Tethyan Bangong-Nujiang suture and the Neo-Tethyan Indus-Yarlung Zangbo suture (Fig. 1A), is composed of Precambrian crystalline basement and Paleozoic–Mesozoic shallow marine clastic strata. Northward subduction of the Neo-Tethyan Ocean beneath the Lhasa terrane formed the Jurassic–Cretaceous volcano-plutonic arcs (Fig. 1B; Chu et al., 2006). The India-Asia collision during the Cenozoic produced a 1500-km-long trans-Himalayan Miocene igneous belt along the southern margin of the Lhasa terrane (Miller et al., 1999), and led to crustal thickening (as much as 80 km) in south Lhasa (Chung et al., 2009).
Porphyry-type mineralization in the Lhasa terrane is linked to two distinct magmatic suites. These are the Jurassic arc suites associated with Cu-Au deposits (e.g., Xiongcun, Laze, and Zemoduola; Tafti et al., 2009), and the Miocene post-collisional suites associated with Cu-Mo deposits (e.g., Qulong, Jiama, Tinggong, and Chongjiang; Hou et al., 2009). Numerous 184–158 Ma granitoids and associated Jurassic volcanic rocks form a 600-km-long Jurassic arc (JA) (Geng et al., 2005), onto which a >1000-km-long Cretaceous arc was subsequently superimposed (Fig. 1). This Jurassic arc is divided by a north-south–oriented rift into a western segment (WSJA) and an eastern segment (ESJA), which are dominated by diorite intrusions with andesites, and granitic intrusions with basalt and dacite, respectively. The giant Xiongcun PCD (219.8 Mt Cu resources averaging 0.43% Cu and 0.61 g/t Au; Tafti et al., 2009) with Re-Os molybedenite age of 173 ± 5 Ma (Tang et al., 2010) is associated with a Jurassic quartz diorite porphyry in the WSJA (Fig. 1B). No Jurassic PCDs have been found in the ESJA (Fig. 1B).
The Miocene post-collisional magmas occur as isolated stocks of porphyritic monzogranite and minor granodiorite and granite. The mineralized porphyries developed in the Jurassic arc, whereas contemporaneous barren ones were emplaced outside the arc (Fig. 1B). All porphyries have zircon U-Pb ages of 26–13 Ma with a peak at 16 Ma (Hou et al., 2013a), and the associated PCDs have molybdenite Re-Os ages of 17–14 Ma (Hou et al., 2009), postdating subduction-related Jurassic PCDs by at least 150 m.y.
The Miocene PCDs show a close spatial relationship with the Jurassic arc (Fig. 1B), despite being separated by a time interval of ∼170–130 m.y. For example, the giant Qulong deposit (1420 Mt at 0.5% Cu and 0.03% Mo; Yang et al., 2009) is partly hosted by Jurassic dacitic lavas. The giant Jiama deposit is only 2 km from the nearest outcrop of Jurassic volcanic successions (Fig. 1B). Other PCDs are ∼20–50 km away from Jurassic magmatic rocks (Fig. 1B). Importantly, the coeval Miocene porphyry intrusions emplaced outside of the Jurassic arc are all barren (Fig. 1B).
Thirty-two key samples from the PCDs and relevant magmatic rocks in south Tibet were analyzed for major and trace element chemistry and bulk-rock Sr-Nd and zircon Hf isotopic compositions (Tables DR1–DR3 in the GSA Data Repository1). These data, combined with previously published results, are presented in Figure 2 and in Figures DR1–DR3 in the Data Repository.
The Jurassic arc rocks are mainly calc-alkaline, and are characterized by enrichment in large-ion lithophile elements (LILE; e.g., Rb, Ba, Sr) and depletion in high field strength elements (HFSE; e.g., Nb, Ta, P, Ti) with flat heavy rare earth element (HREE) patterns (Fig. DR1), thus showing typical subduction-related geochemical features (Hawkesworth et al., 1993). However, the Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic compositions of rocks from the western and eastern segments are distinct. Arc rocks from the WSJA have (87Sr/86Sr)i varying from 0.7041 to 0.7048, εNd(t) from +5.5 to +7.5, and zircon εHf(t) between +11 and +18 (Fig. 2). Those from the ESJA have higher (87Sr/86Sr)i, from 0.7041 to 0.7063, and lower εNd(t) (+1.5 to +4.5; Fig. 2) with variable zircon εHf(t) of +1 to +12 (Wei, 2014).
The Miocene Cu-Mo–related porphyries are mainly high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonitic (Hou et al., 2004) with enrichment in LILE (e.g., Rb, Ba, Sr) and depletion in HFSE (e.g., Nb, Ta, P, Ti), similar to the Jurassic rocks (Fig. DR1). These porphyries have large isotopic variations with (87Sr/86Sr)t = 15Ma from 0.7048 to 0.7062, εNd(t = 15Ma) from −4.8 to +2.2, and zircon εHf(t) from +2 to +12 (Fig. 2). In contrast, the barren Miocene porphyries have higher (87Sr/86Sr)t = 15Ma (0.7063–0.7101) and lower εNd(t = 15Ma) (−8.1 to −3.1) and zircon εHf(t) (−8 to +5; Fig. 2). In addition, these barren porphyries yield relatively old crustal Hf model ages (average ca. 1100 Ma) and have abundant inherited zircons ranging in age from 30 Ma to 2680 Ma (Table DR3; Fig. DR2).
Compared with the Jurassic rocks, the Miocene Cu-Mo–related porphyries have higher light REE and LILE contents, and lower HREE and HFSE contents with steeper HREE patterns (Fig. DR1). They have Sr-Nd isotopic compositions partly overlapping with those of the Jurassic rocks and plot along a two-component mixing array between Jurassic basalt and old lower crust in Tibet (Fig. 2A). Their zircon Hf isotopic compositions plot within the inferred evolution trend of the Jurassic rocks from the ESJA on plot of εHf(t) versus age (Fig. 2B).
Geochemical and isotope data suggest that the WSJA arc rocks associated with the subduction-related PCDs derive from subduction-modified asthenospheric mantle (Fig. 2; Fig. DR1; Chu et al., 2006). However, the ESJA barren rocks show Sr-Nd isotopic departure from the depleted mantle toward the crust (Fig. 2), indicating the involvement of old crustal components (<15 vol%), consistent with old Hf model ages for these rocks (ca. 700–1500 Ma; Table DR3A).
The Miocene barren porphyries outside the Jurassic arc have crust-like Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic signatures and abundant zircon inheritance, consistent with a source dominated by old continental crust (Fig. 2). By contrast, the Miocene Cu-Mo–related porphyries are free of inherited zircons, and have relatively "depleted" isotopic compositions and younger Hf model ages (average 800 Ma), suggesting a juvenile source (Hou et al., 2004, 2013a).
Importantly, the Miocene Cu-Mo–related porphyries are spatially confined to the Jurassic arc (Fig. 1B), and have overlapping Sr-Nd isotopic compositions with those of the Jurassic rocks from the ESJA (Fig. 2A). The zircon Hf data of the mineralized Miocene porphyries also lie within the evolution trend of the Jurassic rocks from the ESJA (Fig. 2B). These observations are consistent with derivation of these ore-related Miocene porphyries by remelting of the juvenile mafic rocks underplated during the Jurassic magmatism. The trend to lower εNd(t) shown by some ore-related porphyries could reflect mixing with lesser amounts (5%–30%) of old lower crust (Fig. 2A). The remelting scenario is also supported by the subduction-like features of the Miocene ore-related porphyries (such as Nb-Ta negative anomaly), which were inherited from the Jurassic arc magmas (Richards, 2009). In addition, the Miocene Cu-Mo–related porphyries have higher Sr/Y ratios (23–186) and higher (La/Yb)N ratios (11–47) than the Jurassic rocks, showing geochemical affinity with adakite (Hou et al., 2004). This suggests that remelting of the Jurassic cumulates took place in a thickened crust (>50–55 km) within the amphibole and garnet stability field (Rapp and Watson, 1995), consistent with Cenozoic collision-induced crustal thickening in south Tibet (Yin and Harrison, 2000). Pronounced crustal thickening at 45–30 Ma (Chung et al., 2009) and subsequent slab break-off (or tearing) starting at 25 Ma (Hou et al., 2004) triggered this remelting as isotherms rebounded and/or hot asthenospheric melts infiltrated the lithosphere (Richards, 2009).
The lack of Miocene PCDs outside of the Jurassic arc suggests that there are no sulfide-bearing Jurassic cumulates to remelt there. In contrast, localization of Miocene PCDs within the Jurassic arc implies that metal-rich Jurassic cumulates could release Cu into the Miocene porphyry systems (Lee et al.., 2012). This is supported by the east-west spatial variation in the average εHf(t) values of magmatic zircons from the Jurassic and Miocene magmatic rocks (Fig. DR3). The average zircon εHf(t) values of the Jurassic rocks decrease significantly from the WSJA (average +16) to the ESJA (average +6), suggesting distinct intra-crustal magmatic processes along the arc. High of the arc magma in the WSJA, evidenced by appearance of magmatic anhydrite in the Xiongcun host porphyry (Tang et al., 2010), suppressed the formation of significant amounts of Cu-rich sulfides (e.g., Richards, 2009), which led to Cu enrichment in the evolving magma, thus forming the Jurassic PCDs (Fig. 3). By contrast, incorporation of older crust by the ESJA basaltic rock, indicated by the lower and variable zircon εHf(t) (+1 to +12), may be responsible for lowering magmatic (e.g., Ripley and Li, 2013), thus inducing sulfide saturation (Tomkins et al., 2012) and sequestering Cu-rich sulfides (Nadeau et al., 2010) in the Jurassic lower-crustal arc cumulates (Fig. 3). The complementary metal endowment of the Jurassic and Miocene magmatic suites (Fig. 1) suggests that enrichment of Cu in the juvenile mafic lower crust, though inhibiting the Jurassic PCD formation, could have provided abundant metals for the Miocene giant PCDs by breakdown of the host sulfides during post-collisional melting.
Our study highlights a spatial overlap and genetic linkage between giant collision-related PCDs and non-economic volcano-plutonic arcs. This is applicable to other orogenic belts, where former arc magmatism left sulfide-bearing metal-rich cumulates at the base of the crust (e.g., Lee et al., 2012), which provided abundant metals and S for post-subduction or collision-related PCDs during later remelting (e.g., Richards, 2009). Typical examples include: the Miocene post-collisional Kerman porphyry Cu belt, occurring within a non-economic Eocene magmatic arc in Iran (Shafiei et al., 2009); the Cretaceous giant PCDs, developed along the Mesozoic Qinling orogen in central China (Dong et al., 2011); and the Jurassic giant Dexing PCD, formed on a Mesozoic intra-continental orogen in east China (Hou et al., 2013b). Therefore, the spatial overlap and complementary metal endowment between subduction- and collision-related porphyry suites could be used for predicting PCD occurrence and assessing the mineralization potential of other tectonically composite orogens.
Our data also demonstrate that in a given magmatic suite the PCDs are associated with the isotopically "primitive" magmas with high bulk-rock εNd and zircon εHf values (Figs. 2 and 3). Hf isotopes might, therefore, be an important tool for assessing the metallogenic fertility of porphyry magmas (Fig. DR3). We suggest that systematic zircon εHf measurement could be effective in identifying the most prospective areas during regional targeting of PCDs.

New Patient Guide
California's Proposition 215 legalized medical marijuana state 11 years ago as a treatment for pain, the side-effects of chemotherapy, and other medical ailments. To become a Medical Cannabis (Marijuana) Patient you must receive a written verifiable recommendation from a doctor. Once you have your doctor's recommendation you can legally grow, consume and possess your medicine under California State Law Prop 215.
Patients and their caregivers are permitted to legally use, have, and grow cannabis for medical purposes. The law also protects not-for-profit collective and cooperative grow operations and allows primary caregivers to be reimbursed for the costs of their services.
To be a legal medical cannabis patient in California, all you need is a valid doctor's recommendation. There is a medical cannabis ID card system run by the state and several privately issued patient ID cards. A state-issued ID card is not required to be a legal patient, but it does look more official to the police.
Who Qualifies as a Physician?
Prop. 215 applies to physicians, osteopaths and surgeons who are licensed to practice in California. It does not apply to chiropractors, herbal therapists, etc. See a list of medical cannabis specialists. Prop. 215 requires physicians to state that they "approve" or "recommend" marijuana. Physicians are protected from federal prosecution for recommending marijuana by the Conant U.S. court decision.
What's Allowed
The CA state limits are: (6) mature or (12) immature cannabis plants plus eight ounces of dried cannabis per patient. Cities and counties can set limits that are higher than this limit, but cannot set lower limits. Also, the doctor's recommendation can specify that you need an amount of medical cannabis that exceeds the limits.
Eligible Conditions
A few eligible conditions include: AIDS, anorexia, arthritis, cachexia, cancer, chronic pain, glaucoma, migraine, persistent muscle spasms, seizures, severe nausea, and any other serious chronic or persistent medical symptom.
Don't be dangerous (i.e., don't drive under the influence). That is still illegal. Also, don't use cannabis within 1000 feet of a school, rec center, or youth center. Don't smoke on a school bus.
Your primary caregiver must be at least 18 years old and should consistently assume responsibility for your housing, health, or safety. They can be the primary caregiver of more than one patient only if the patients live in the same city or county as the primary caregiver.
Application Process / Doctor
There are both public and private entities that issue ID cards. ID cards are valid for one year, then should be renewed. Contact your local Department of Public Health. Again, you do not need an ID card to be a legal patient but you must have a official letter of recommendation from a medical marijuana doctor board certified doctor licensed by the Medical Board.
The letter of recommendation (aka Compassionate Card) allows you to purchase medicine from private dispensaries, allows you to legally possess, transport, and cultivate plants. Additionally, the clinic provides 24 hour patient verification so law enforcement and dispensaries can confirm you are in fact a medical patient in good standing.
When you go to a medical dispensary or club for the first time, you must bring the original version of your physician's compassionate use recommendation. The dispensary will then verify with us that you are indeed a valid and current patient. They may do this by either checking on our secure online verification system or by calling the doctor's office directly to verify your status.
You don't have one, you can find a list of doctors familiar with medical cannabis at canorml.org. Under California's law, your doctor cannot be punished simply for having recommended medical cannabis.
Should I Get a State ID Card?
Patients are not required to get an ID card to enjoy the protection of Prop. 215, but a state card can provide an extra measure of protection against arrest. Patients and caregivers can obtain state ID cards through the health departments of the county where they live (except Sutter and Colusa). The state ID card system has safeguards to protect patient privacy. Police and employers cannot track down patients through the registry.
The Patients' ID Center in Oakland (www.patientidcenter.org) offers ID cards for all California residents that are honored by many collectives and police. In addition, many doctors now offer ID cards that can be verified.
Finding A 'Cannabis-Friendly' Doctor Near You
When looking for a clinic to get your recommendation, it is important to seek advice from a reputable doctor, because after all, this is your health you are dealing with. The physician that you receive your recommendation from should be a practiced, and licensed with medical and research experience (preferably cannabis related). While these doctors cannot "prescribe" cannabis, they can "certify" or "recommend" patients use medical marijuana that meet the criteria to be a qualifying patient.
Although it is easy to walk into a green, 4/20 themed "clinic" on the Venice boardwalk and pay $40 for a five-minute evaluation, there are some factors you should consider before doing so. If you are a patient looking to get the maximum benefit from cannabis as a medicine, the relationship between yourself and your medical cannabis doctor should be respected as much as in any other medical circumstance. For this reason, we advise staying away from these types of places we'll call, "bargain clinics."
Another problem with these 'bargain clinics' is that many of their cut-rate deals come with fine print (as with all things that sound too good to be true). Many patients have visited clinics in search of a cheap deal, only to find that the advertised rate was for a month-long recommendation. These are exactly the kind of places that are going to go out of business in the future, and patients need to be weary of them. Not only are they ripping people off, some clinics close business without leaving a contact for follow-up verifications, invalidating their patient's recommendations. These people do not care about the patient; they are only in it for the money. Identity theft is also a major concern because these illegal clinics have been known to sell off patient's information on the black market. Ton's of information from patient records is released into the public including copies of ID's, addresses, and social security numbers.
Pick a Doctor That Is Reputable — Do Your Research
California's NORML Guide to Medical Marijuana Physicians warns of these bogus clinics, and add that some are even selling "cultivation licenses" that purportedly allow the patient to grow more than the allowed quantity of plants. Be warned that there is no such thing as this license, and you have a right as a patient (under California law) to grow as many plants as you need for your own personal use. Although physicians cannot sell this mystical license, they can testify for you in court that a specific amount of cannabis (not plants) is consistent with your specific needs.
If ever faced with the unfortunate circumstance of having to defend your rights in court, you will fancy a doctor who is a quality health care provider testifying on your behalf. For this reason, it is extremely important to scrutinize your physician to ensure they are taking your health seriously, and giving you an accurate examination. The doctor should show concern for your general health, and should be asking questions about your diagnosis, prior experience with cannabis, and if you have self-medicated to help your condition in the past. Not only should the physician have a thorough understanding of the effects of cannabis on various medical conditions, but also about the ingesting, cultivating, and topical use of cannabis.
Doctors Recommendations Are Good For 365 Days
In addition to making sure that your physician is knowledgeable, there are a few other things to consider before signing the papers. As I stated before, some bogus clinics will try and sell one-month recommendations with all sorts of hidden fees. Be sure to clarify that the doctor's letter of recommendation will be valid for a full year.
Make sure there are no extra fees associated with obtaining ID cards, or extra copies of the letter of recommendation. Furthermore, make certain that recommendations can be verified 24 hours a day (Online or by phone), and obtain a contact to reach out to for verifications if the clinic goes out of business. Many physicians are being investigated by the state on the account of law enforcement accusing them of operating illegally.
Unfortunately, dispensaries are the ones feeling the brunt force of the feds who are paying little attention to the clinics funneling customers to these dispensaries. Law enforcement needs to realize that these illegal marijuana clinics are the ones giving the California medical marijuana program a bad rap. After all, a dispensary must accept anyone with a recommendation signed by a doctor. They are not to blame for all the orders of Trainwreck to treat patients, "chronic back pains."
You can check Americans For Safe Access for information regarding becoming a patient in your state.
Your medical information is confidential and protected under HIPPA. The medical cannabis ID cards do not show your name, address, or other sensitive information, though they do have a photo. Police and government agents can verify the legitimacy of the card.
