On Saturday afternoon I was doing some extra work (cleaning carpets) for my uncle in a law office building I sometimes help clean in Haddonfield, New Jersey. It was an arts fair day so the front of the building and the whole street was closed down and filled with vendor's tents. My co-worker and I would take breaks outside and catch a smoke.
One of those breaks a beautiful Japanese woman came up to me real friendly asking how I was. Since her and her friend were dressed in similar floral print dresses and she was holding what looked like a post card in her hand I assumed she was going to try and sell me something. My co-worker complimented her pretty dress and I nodded in agreement. She kept smiling and making semi-flirtatious small talk and I was still waiting for a sales pitch that never came.
She asked me what work I was doing after asking me why I was there. I told her cleaning carpets. She smiled and said that was much better then working at the mall. The whole encounter only lasted about 5 minutes and she said goodbye and it was great to see me again. Again? As she was walking away in the distance it hit me that I knew her. She used to be a customer of mine when I was a server at a restaurant at the mall. A regular customer of mine. I used to know her by name. Damn, she is beautiful.
There I was with a beautiful sexy young woman flirting with me and I not only did nothing about it but I didn't even know what was going on. This has happened many times before especially the not knowing a woman was into me until after the fact usually when someone tells me. I guess my self esteem is low, my memory is bad and I forgot what it's like to be around women. Things are going to change. I mean to say things are going to change even more or I'm going to miss out on some prime opportunities in life.
To quote the great Ralph Malph from Happy Days "I still got it.".

LONDON, Dec. 4, 2012
- Customisation helps the company add significant value to its state-of-the-art solutions
LONDON, Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the municipal and industrial wastewater treatment chemicals market, Frost & Sullivan recognises Ashland Industries Deutschland GmbH, a subsidiary of Ashland Inc. (Ashland), with the 2012 European Customer Value Enhancement Award.
Ashland offers a comprehensive, state-of-the-art product portfolio and innovative chemical equipment technologies that effectively address diverse customer needs. Ashland's Praestol™, Amerfloc™ and Drewfloc™ flocculants as well as their Chargepac™ coagulants are the products of choice for wastewater and sludge treatment applications supported by public health and safety-related National Science Foundation (NSF/ANSI) certification.
"The usage of these chemicals in wastewater treatment significantly improves clarification, settling and separation, and thus the overall operational performance of the treatment plants." noted Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Anna Jarosik. "These products also reduce environmental impact and improve equipment capacity of clients. In sludge treatment, these chemicals are able to improve the liquid/solid separation and consequently, minimise the overall sludge volume."
Today's advanced wastewater treatment processes and equipment require a new generation of chemicals in order to exploit the full potential of these technologies. Ashland's new generation polymers are designed to improve thickening and dewatering performance resulting in waste reduction and lower operating costs.
Ashland offers its products to a wide range of customers, depending on the application and wastewater treatment conditions, through direct sales and exclusive channel partners. Ashland also has dedicated sales teams that work individually with municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants at the process level, verifying customers' wastewater treatment conditions.
"This is crucial in identifying and developing customised treatment solutions for each customer," remarked, Jarosik. "The company supplies specific, tailor-made chemical solutions for an extensive range of municipal and industrial applications, including the treatment of water, wastewater and sludge. Furthermore, Ashland offers special technical and after-sales support, as well as guidance in various project stages."
"Ashland also focuses on effectively executing its sustainable strategy and building partnerships with industry stakeholders," added Jarosik. "The company constantly tracks and evaluates market needs and trends. It channels the most promising ideas into research and development projects with the help of its customers in order to further enhance the customised solutions offered."
In this way, Ashland ensures that there is a pipeline of customers required, as well as profitable business opportunities in place, to address the changing needs of customers. The company continuously innovates in order to help customers meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
The Frost & Sullivan Award for Customer Value Enhancement is presented each year to the company that has demonstrated excellence in implementing strategies that proactively create value for its customers while improving return on investments. This award recognises the company's inordinate focus on enhancing the value that customers receive; which therefore, leads to improved customer retention and ultimately, customer base expansion.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognise companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

Writer-director Gareth Edwards went to the south of France this year to screen his super-low-budget film "Monsters" at the Cannes Market. There's a good chance he spent more on travel and lodging than he did on his film, which nonetheless earned raves.
"Monsters" has been described as "like 'Lost in Translation,' set in Mexico, but with gigantic alien monsters," by /Film, who report that Edwards spent a whopping $15,000 shooting his film.
Check out the featurette below to learn some of his tircks -- and seriously, the next time someone tells you they can't get the financing together to make a movie, sit them in front of this video.video platform video management video solutions video player

Field Trip Attendance System
In New York State, schools and youth organizations have opportunities to take students/participants on field trips.
Most field trips are beneficial and a great learning experience. They enhance the lessons being taught in a regular classroom or within the context of the organization. Unfortunately, a few have ended in disaster.
To view and print the Field Trip Attendance information, you must have Adobe's Acrobat®. You can download it, without cost, directly from Adobe by clicking on Adobe's Acrobat®
If you are unable to download a PDF document, your may request the document by contacting your area Outreach Coordinator.
Anytime a large group of youth are in a public forum there is a potential for problems. Experience has shown that:
- Youths can get separated from the group and lost;
- Medical emergencies occur;
- Bus accidents can happen;
- Teachers/leaders and/or adult chaperones can be injured and unable to assist emergency personnel to identify students who are injured, or
- Youths may go with a stranger because the adult said they were with the field trip.
To assist you in your efforts to prevent problems, the New York State Police has developed a Field Trip Attendance System. It is available for schools and organizations which may not have a system in place or, as supplemental material for those that do.
To reinforce your awareness of this topic and to examine the materials involved, we invite you to view all the Field Trip Attendance System materials.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Gathering
You have to accept the love you get, not more not less. You have to understand that people give you love they are capable of. You can't expect more from them.
Not only To keep yourself from getting hurt but to be fair to them too. They give what they are capable of, take it with open arms and appreciate it. Path to expectation, especially love, is a destructive road. You only end up hurting yourself while most of the time the other person is oblivious to it. You have to understand people love the way they can, the only ways they know they can. The day you learn to accept and be happy with whatever amount of love you get, is the day you will be freed.
I'm not saying to settle for less than you think you deserve, Not at all. Never settle for less,especially when it comes to love. All I'm saying is life will be a tad bit easier if you accept whatever amount of love people give you in return to yours. At least they are giving you something. At least they are trying, It's something. Something is better than nothing. Especially when it comes to love.
Love is the exception to everything, all the rules, all the philosophies, all the rights, all the wrongs. Love is…whatever you make of it.

Facebook says an internal investigation has uncovered $100,000 in advertising spending by hundreds of fake accounts and pages, likely operated out of Russia, which sought to sow political division during the U.S. presidential election.
The giant social network says the ads that ran between June 2015 and May 2017 carried "divisive social and political messages across the ideological spectrum," touching on topics such as LGBT, race, immigration and gun rights, though most of them did not directly mention the election. A small number of the ads named the Republican nominee Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton.
The ads were traced to a Russian "troll farm," a Facebook official said on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
Facebook says it has shared the findings with U.S. investigators.
The ads are part of a new kind of attack that Facebook calls "information operations," a web of nefarious and insidious activities that extends far beyond "fake news." In a white paper earlier this year, the Silicon Valley company outlined how this strategy can be used to misinform the public, including the creation of networks of fake accounts to distort public sentiment.
Facebook uncovered 470 suspicious and likely fake Facebook accounts and pages that it believes operated out of Russia. The ads targeted specific populations and geographies. The official declined to share any of the ads, citing the company's data privacy policy.
The accounts and the pages in question have been deleted. In hunting for other suspect ads, Facebook turned up $50,000 spent on 2,200 ads it says could have been politically related.
The internal investigation into politically motivated ads began this spring after discussions with U.S. officials, the Facebook official said.
Special counsel Robert Mueller and congressional committees are investigating whether the Kremlin meddled in the election and if that meddling had any connection to Trump's campaign.
Mueller was named to the post after Trump fired former FBI director James Comey, who had been leading the investigation. President Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials have denied involvement in the U.S. election.
The U.S. intelligence community concluded in January that Russia had interfered in the U.S. election to help elect Trump by spreading fake news and misinformation to sway public opinion.
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said the Facebook report was "fully consistent with the unclassified assessment of the intelligence community."
"As part of the investigation undertaken into Russian interference in the 2016 elections, we are keenly interested in Russia's use of social media platforms, both the use of bots and trolls to spread disinformation and propaganda, including through the use of paid online advertising," Schiff said in a statement.
Schiff said the Facebook report raises the question whether the targeting of voters "reflects any potential coordination with the Trump campaign or other U.S. persons." He also questioned whether other social networks ran Russian ads.
Widely criticized for helping spread bogus news during the election, Facebook has since conceded its network was exploited by governments and other interests intent on manipulating public opinion, including during the presidential elections in the U.S. and France.
Some 170 million people in North America use Facebook every day. Nearly half of all adults in the U.S. say they get their news from Facebook.
Alex Stamos, Facebook's chief security officer, has vowed to shut down these kinds of operations. He says Facebook is devising new ways to keep fake accounts and activity of the social network. It's also exploring technological fixes that would identify bad actors as early as when the accounts are being created.
"We know we have to stay vigilant to keep ahead of people who try to misuse our platform," Stamos said.

Plan Review
Some projects can be fully permitted over-the-counter (same day) at the Development Services Center, while other projects require that the plans be left for review. The timeline for a permit being issued depends on the size and complexity of the project, the completeness of the submitted application and response time in providing requested materials. Review staff work on a "first in, first out" basis, which is determined by the date plans are received.

First-home buyers in the provinces will be given a subsidy of up to $20,000 to move into vacant state houses, Housing Minister Nick Smith announced today.
The new FirstHome scheme would allow modest wage earners to be gifted a 10 per cent deposit, and would give them priority to purchase empty homes which were no longer needed by Housing New Zealand.
To be eligible, a buyer would have to earn $53,000 or less and commit to living in the house for a minimum of three years. A couple would have to earn no more than $80,600.
Housing New Zealand would make a grant of 10 per cent of the property's value, up to a maximum of $20,000.
Dr Smith said: "FirstHome will improve housing outcomes at both ends of the affordability spectrum. It will help modest income families in provincial New Zealand buy their first home.
"It will also free up capital from¬ these surplus vacant properties to invest in new state houses in high demand areas like Auckland and Christchurch."
The policy announcement comes as the Reserve Bank introduces new lending restrictions which mean most people will need a 20 per cent deposit to purchase a home.
The restrictions have generated concern that first-home buyers could find it harder to get into the housing market.
Around 400 state houses would be put up for sale in total under the new scheme - 100 in the next year. The largest number of vacant properties were in Northland and the central North Island.
The first 41 homes would be available for purchase on Monday in places such as Otorohonga and Invercargill, and had an average value of $120,000.
Dr Smith said there was nothing unusual about selling off state houses, noting that 1280 were sold under the previous Labour-led Government.
The Housing New Zealand properties were either the wrong size or in the wrong location to meet demand.
The scheme was believed to be nearly cost-neutral, because Housing New Zealand was making a loss on the vacant properties.
Dr Smith: "Housing New Zealand advises that with the high holding costs of these properties with council rates, vandalism and upkeep, the cost of the FirstHome grants will largely be offset."
Where will the state houses be sold?
Housing New Zealand area Number
Northland - 63
North Waikato - 14
Rotorua/Whakatane/Taupo - 31
Hawke's Bay - 27
New Plymouth/South Waikato - 67

Okay, this comment will show you the extent of my obsession. I was thinking the same thing because he is a heavy breather in several movies and also has his mouth open a lot (aside from the kissing scenes). I wonder if he suffers from asthma or sinus problems. I noticed this because I have sinus problems as well. Trouble breathing through my nose. Yeah, I know - "GET A LIFE!"

I want to see more heavy breathing too, because the end of the movie was too suspensful. And if the ending was supposed to be like that, then do something better than that. Continue the story on Cinemax. Planet of the Apes II, or something, because that ending did indeed anger me, after I sat there and watched all that content, and then for that to end like that. I just messed up the whole movie. Dont ya think?

I must admit I guessed what was going to happen at the end,don't know how but I did.
I would say that the ending was OK if they had planned to do a sequel more or less straight away.But if they don't it's not good.
I read somewhere that Mark in only interested in no2 if Tim Burton is invovled & Tim is not interested at all so that would mean someone else director & lead role would change the whole continuity completely

How did I miss LOLBOTS?
Nokia and Symbian were behind school yesterday and Nokia was smoking cloves and Symbian was reading some book and then Nokia as all like "Did you see what Google did?" and Symbian was like "Uh huh Whatdafuk?" and Nokia was all like "Garr garrr I'm Androad" and Symbian was all like "I'm Anchoad" and then Symbian was like:
"About every three months this year there has been a mobile Linux initiative of some sort launched.
"It's a bit like the common cold. It keeps coming round and then we go back to business. We don't participate in these full stop. We make our own platform and we are focused on driving that into the mobile phone market at large ever more aggressively."
And the Nokia was like "Stuppppod!" and then both of them got busted coming back to class late and Nokia got suspended for smelling like smoke and they found his cloves.

The capped-memory resource sets limits for physical, swap, and locked memory. Each limit is optional, but at least one must be set.
Determine values for this resource if you plan to cap memory for the zone by using rcapd from the global zone. The physical property of the capped-memory resource is used by rcapd as the max-rss value for the zone.
The swap property of the capped-memory resource is the preferred way to set the zone.max-swap resource control.
The locked property of the capped-memory resource is the preferred way to set the zone.max-locked-memory resource control.
Applications generally do not lock significant amounts of memory, but you might decide to set locked memory if the zone's applications are known to lock memory. If zone trust is a concern, you can also consider setting the locked memory cap to 10 percent of the system's physical memory, or 10 percent of the zone's physical memory cap.
For more information, see Chapter 10, Physical Memory Control Using the Resource Capping Daemon (Overview), Chapter 11, Administering the Resource Capping Daemon (Tasks), and How to Configure the Zone. To temporarily set a resource cap for a zone, see How to Specify a Temporary Resource Cap for a Zone.

What's New
Crazy Harold Family by Harold's Fonts
The Crazy Harold font set was inspired by a single analog font as reproduced in Paul E. Kennedy's "Modern Display Alphabets" (Dover, 1974).
Of course the name appealed to me, as well as the tacky retro-festive style. My font set is completely redrawn with clean edges and rounded points. I've incorporated alternate letterforms into separate fonts.
Coordinating "Flair" fonts have extra-groovy capitals!

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
Coming up this evening at 9, "Piers Morgan Live" welcomes one of the most-celebrated actors of the modern era, as Tom Hanks joins the program for an honest and entertaining interview that touches upon everything from his wife Rita Wilson and late friend Nora Ephron, to his early cross-dressing comedy series and current on-stage project.
Set to star in the upcoming play "Lucky Guy," Hanks' Broadway debut marks his first on-stage performance in more than 30 years:
"The last official play I did was in 1981 in Hayward, California. I was a guest artist for my alma mater, Chabot Junior College," revealed the man who's twice taken home the Academy Award for Best Actor. "We did 'Charlie's Aunt' which was directed by an old teacher of mine named Herb Kennedy and I think we sold out 1,500 seats every night for a few weeks."
Despite having starred in such classic films as "Big," "Philadelphia," "Forrest Gump," and "Sleepless in Seattle," the 56-year-old silver screen legend admits that there are certain anxieties that come when taking a step out of one's comfort zone:
"I would say nervousness is not nearly the term – what do you call it when you wake up at 5 o'clock in the morning with your eyes wide open thinking, 'do I have the lines in scene 110 down the way I like them to be? When Laura comes out on the bed, am I supposed to come...?' That's where the nerves hit me about 5 o'clock in the morning."
Watch the clip, and listen to the interview, then tune in at 9 for Piers Morgan's sit-down interview with an actor considered to be the highest-grossing box office star of all-time.

I can't wait to see him perform
I am a former Larry King fan, who watched Larry work his magic every night, over many decades. Piers inherited me. It took me a while to transition from Larry to Pies and I still miss Larry. However, Piers has held my interest and I feel he is doing a good job. What I am missing is the long, in depth interviews. Larry would frequently spend the entire hour with one person. That was the entire show and you came away feeling like you really knew the guest, for that night. Now Piers' show often has four or five parts...not always even related. Is there any chance of returning to the one guest/one topic style of show? It was what made that time slot unique.
I performed with Tom at Chabot in 'Our Town', and saw his performance of Charley's Aunt. I had to give him a bad time about the horror movie he had been in.

First LibrePlanet was a resounding success!
The LibrePlanet event was a huge success, and a great launch for our community activities at LibrePlanet.org. LibrePlanet featured a jam-packed schedule including a full day of speakers on Saturday and an Open Space Conference on Sunday.
The keynote on Saturday morning was provided by Samba's Jeremy Allison and was entitled, "The Elephant in the Room: Microsoft and Free Software". A great talk that gave us all a new perspective on Microsoft:)
We got lots of great feedback from folks who attended. Some people were new and hadn't realized just how many different projects and facets there were to the free software movement. Others have been running GNU/Linux for a number of years, but didn't know about the vigorous effort to replace Flash with a free alternative called Gnash. Rob Savoye (lead Maintainer of the Gnash project) was an energetic and inspiring speaker -- he let us know that he's not content to have a merely workable alternative. Gnash is more interoperable and has stronger security than the proprietary Adobe application it replaces.
Likewise, many people were vaguely aware that free software is widely used in Latin America, but hearing about mandated and supported government use was news to many. Alexandre Oliva spoke at length about Free Software Foundation Latin America (FSFLA) and Ryan Bagueros shared his stories about free software support in remote villages and free software using communities in Brazil.
There was certainly some lively conversation between participants as we wondered what parts of free software's success we could emulate in our own countries and what parts were encouraging, but just not applicable.
Alexandre Oliva gave an impassioned talk about the work being done to remove non-free binary blobs and firmware from the kernel Linux and his efforts to create a free kernel across multiple distributions:
Also keynoting were Evan Prodromou of identi.ca and Ciaran O'Riordan director of the End Software Patents Project, who spoke about the coming launch of http://en.swpat.org. The first day of the conference ended with FSF President Richard Stallman presenting the annual free software awards.
The second day was even more participatory and a bit of a whirlwind. Take a look at all the topics we ended up covering. Kat Walsh from the Wikimedia Foundation brought the audience to its feet with a rendition of Richard Stallman's Free Software Song, played on a recorder:
The LibrePlanet Activism track had several discussions about software freedom and libraries -- it turns out that there are at least three distinct issues; whether archival material is scanned into the system using a free format that can be accessed by anyone, the absence of DRM in digital lending materials and the sort of software that is running on the public terminals.
We also had lots of great ideas about freeing network services, ranging from social networking and music sharing to free webmail and free hosting.
But we didn't just talk about free software, we also covered an awful lot of ground on the subject of hardware. Marc Jones talked about Coreboot, which is the quest for a free bios and our own John Sullivan demo'ed Open Moko's FreeRunner which is a phone that enables the user to run all free software. And I know that more than one person left Libre Planet knowing that their next camera will just have to be one from Elphel, makers of high-performance, free software cameras with open hardware.
Last but not certainly not least, while all this talking was going on, one room housed a much quieter group who were busy writing a book. The crew from FLOSS Manuals were running a text book sprint with on-site and remote contributors all weekend. They produced an amazing text book titled Introduction to the Command Line, aimed at GNU/Linux gnubies. The book is available now for reading or download on the FLOSS Manuals website or you can help us fund the next book sprint by buying a printed copy.
Thanks to all our speakers, tireless volunteers and everyone who attended and made this weekend a very successful first LibrePlanet event! I bet you're thinking, "It couldn't have been that perfect..." and not only are you right, we want to hear from everyone who attended how we can make next year even better. Go ahead, tell us what you thought.Cheers,
Deborah Nicholson
FSF Member Coordinator

|Arid Towns Turning to Rainmaker
|Written by Carol Bradley, Tribune staff writer
Great Falls Tribune
Ordinarily when he gazes up at the sky, Matt Ryan says, he can see five or six different sections pulsing with energy in a cornucopia of colors and shades.
"I have yet to have anybody come up and tell me I'm a total idiot for hiring him," said Gary Gollehon, who raises malt barley east of Brady.
"If somebody has another idea, I'm willing to listen to it, but I don't want to go through another summer of drought."
Ever since Austrian scientist Wilhelm Reich claimed to have discovered "orgone energy" at his research lab in Rangley , Maine in the 1930s, so-called rainmakers have used hollow metal tubes to purportedly trigger movements of energy in the atmosphere.
The federal government didn't take kindly to Reich's claims. Federal agents raided his lab, destroyed his instruments and sentenced him to two years in prison. He died, some say mysteriously, a week before he was supposed to be released.
Today, the federal government is largely silent on the issue of Reich's work, called orgonomy.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration researched weather modifiers from the 1970s to the early 1990s and concluded that it's impossible to determine whether an individual caused a weather occurrence or if it simply happened naturally, spokeswoman for NOAA research, Jana Goldman, said Monday.
When asked of this, Ryan replied, "It's actually quite easy to test whether someone has changed the weather, or not . . . you just don't limit your experiment to one occurrence. I'm continually surprised at NOAA and the NWS's statements about rainmaking. Either they are very dull scientists, or their very closed-minded."
A spokeswoman for the American Meteorological society said that organization focuses on scientific means of predicting the weather, not changing it.
"That's not to say there other things out there aren't happening," the spokeswoman, Stephanie Kenitzer, said. "But that's not what the AMS is concerned with."
A 48-year-od native of Albany , N.Y. , Ryan says he came out West to study under Sun Bear, an Ojibwa medicine man who is said to have been taught by his uncles how to make rain.
Ryan also studied simultaneously under Jerome Eden, a natural scientist and scholar of Wilhelm Reich's work who was also the author of several books.
Luring the Rain
Ryan, who now lives in Mount Shasta , California , insists that what he does is science-based, with dollops of spirituality mixed in.
"Fifty-percent of what I do is involved in what you might call prayer, there is an intention to it," he said.
He operates on the belief that a force in nature exists that transcends weather and causes all things to move, what Reich called orgone energy. Regions of the country plagued by drought have lost much of this energy movement, it's gone stagnant, he maintains.
Ryan's job is to lure it back, to refresh it again.
But there's another side, too. "As you acknowledge the weather, the weather tends to acknowledge you back," he tells the people he works with. Because of his positive attitude and relationship, "rain will usually find me, and if I need a sunny time, I get that too."
Ryan blames the hundred nuclear missile silos surrounding Great Falls with creating all kinds of stagnant energy. "You can trace the origins of your long-term drought up here right back to the installation of those silos in the late 70s. That's the last time, with a few exceptions, that you've seen good moisture years up here."
Using Antenna
His methodology is similar to sitting in a silent room and then suddenly turning on a radio, Ryan said. "What do you have? Fifty, Sixty stations coming in," he said.
Out in the field, he sets a series of hollow metal pipes on an apparatus and grounds them into a river, creek or other source of water and aims the pipes in the direction he believes dormant energy lies. In the same way antennas pick up radio signals, the pipes home in on moisture.
Ryan warns against trying his technique at home. A neophyte could wind up exacerbating the drought instead of relieving it, and there are also health consequences to the operator.
In the hands of an expert, however, cloudbusting can work wonders, Ryan claims.
"We starting to see moisture all over the state," he told the Tribune. "The drought tendency is starting to lessen."
As far as his own approach to nature, Ryan said, "I don't treat the earth as if it were a dead thing or just a backdrop to my activities. I treat her as if she were as alive as me, just differently."
Repeat Customers
It turns out that a group of Glasgow-area farmers has been paying Ryan for his services for almost 10 years. He did his rainmaking work in northeast Montana in 1992, '93, '98, and 2,000.
"Until you know him, you might think he's a little bit of a crackpot," acknowledged Phyllis Furhman, a wheat farmer who coordinates Ryan's visits.
And yes, skeptics abound, she said.
"He'll come up here in a drought and get them the most beautiful crop they ever raised and they'll say, 'Well, it would have rained anyway.'"
But the 30 or so farmers and ranchers who now finance his expeditions "have the utmost faith in this man," Fuhrman said. "We have seen this man work in many different years now, and always, always he only comes here when there's drought. The $10,000 is chickenfeed for the crop he brought in to northeastern Montana last summer."
Ten thousand dollars is the going rate to hire Ryan. There is not necessarily any money-back guarantee.
"So far, I've never missed. But I can guarantee that when I come into an area, the people are going to learn something, Ryan said. "What usually happens weatherwise is for the month or so following my work, a region will see above-average precipitation regardless of what's been going on before. That's a pretty incredible claim given that I don't get called into areas unless there's a severe drought."
Rain, he promised
Last year, Ryan arrived in the Glasgow area on June 2 in the midst of a drought as severe as anywhere else in the state. He stayed until June 10th and told the group up in that region they should expect to get rain through the middle of July, according to Fuhrman.
Just as Ryan promised, the rain fell – 6.38 inches between June and July 15, more than twice the 2.2 inches that would fall normally during that period according to the National Weather Service.
"He's got us rain every time," Fuhrman said.
Gollehon, the Brady farmer, contacted Ryan after hearing of his work around the Glasgow and listening to him on the radio talk show "Berg in the Morning." Ryan finally agreed to come to Brady even though it was a little early in the season to suit his tastes.
Normally, Ryan said, he likes to come in the spring, pitch his tent and sleep near his equipment. The pipes give him flu-like symptoms and cause his hands and feet to swell, he said. Sleeping on the ground enables the earth to absorb the negative energy out of his body, he said.
About 250 area farmers attended a meeting at the Brady high school in February, and at least 50 chipped in the $13,000 necessary to procure Ryan's services, Gollehon said.
Holy Toledo : snow!
A month later, he remains a believer.
"Matt always says, 'God makes the rain and snow,' and I'll agree with him 100 percent there," Gollehon said. "But we had a wet snow last night and the night before that. These flakes were a quarter to fifty cent size, and we haven't seen that kind of snow in years. This morning the trees were still filled with snow."
That Great Falls experienced a similar snowfall didn't surprise him, Ryan said. He said his work normally affects entire regions.
"The drought up here in eastern Montana is at least 10 years old in a large area, so we have to work slowly and gently in small areas to loosen things up before we'll get a big response. When we first got here the snowflakes were like dandruff and there wasn't a teaspoon of water in a gallon of them. But now they're getting bigger and fatter and starting to stick to the trees and the sides of barns. It's starting to look like real snow again. Yeah, it's starting to turn . . ."

(DAILYCALLER) — A tenured professor who forced her students to sign pledges that they would vote for President Barack Obama last November should be fired, the college's president recommended.
Sharon Sweet, an associate professor of mathematics at Brevard Community College in Florida, is guilty of electioneering, harassment, and incompetence, according to a three-month investigation into her classroom behavior leading up to the November election.
The Board of Trustees will hold a hearing on the matter, and then vote on whether to adopt President James Richey's recommendation that Sweet be fired.

Stryker Corporation Knee and Hip Implants Demonstrate Lowest Revision Rates, According to the
MAHWAH, N.J., Feb. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Stryker Corporation's Orthopaedics division today announced at the 2011 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons annual conference the findings of the National Joint Registry for England and Wales, which reports that Stryker's Trident® Cup, Accolade® Hip Stem and Triathlon® Knee System outperformed all competitive products in terms of revision rates for the most frequently used brands.(1,2,3)
"Stryker Orthopaedics focuses on developing products that can address the clinical issues that are most critical to implant performance," said Mike Mogul, Group President, Stryker Orthopaedics. "The National Joint Registry of England and Wales is incredibly important because it demonstrates the performance of implants on the market today and provides surgeon and hospital customers with valuable data, enabling them to make informed purchasing decisions to enhance clinical outcomes."
The 2010 National Joint Registry of England and Wales data revealed that Stryker's Trident® Cup, Accolade® Hip Stem and Triathlon® Knee System all showed the lowest rate of revision when compared with the most frequently used implant systems. According to the registry, Trident® had the lowest revision rate (2.4%) among cementless cups at five years, Accolade® had the lowest revision rate (2.8%) among cementless stems at five years, and Triathlon® had the lowest revision rate (1%) among total knee replacement systems at three years for the second year in a row. (1,2,3)
The Trident® Acetabular System features a patented locking mechanism that outperforms competitive designs(4) in regards to micromotion between cup and liner, and is designed to minimize back-side wear(4) while maximizing jump distance for increased stability(5). Compatible with Stryker's patented X3® Advanced Bearing Technology, Trident® X3® has demonstrated a 97% reduction in wear compared to conventional polyethylene(6).
The Accolade® Femoral Hip System features a clinically successful tapered wedge stem and streamlined instruments that promote surgical simplicities. With over 10 years of clinical history and 300,000+ implantations, the Accolade® System has proven clinical performance(1,7).
The Triathlon® Knee System features a single-radius design to promote stability(8) and combined with Stryker's patented X3® Advanced Bearing Technology, Triathlon® has demonstrated has demonstrated a 96% decrease in wear in laboratory testing compared to competitive premium bearing technology.(9) Based on this testing, X3® Technology may result in a longer lasting implant.

Getting the word out when the need for speed is critical to public health
(5 Apr 2008: VIDYYA MEDICAL NEWS SERVICE) -- When the need for speed is critical, how can a public health department communicate with doctors and hospitals, sending alerts to help prevent or stop a public health crisis? How can thousands of health-care providers be notified about disease outbreaks, illness from food borne contaminants or even a possible pandemic?
Researchers from the Regenstrief Institute, Inc. in collaboration with the Marion County Health Department (Indianapolis, Ind), have developed and tested a technology that allows public health officials to abandon a traditional, inefficient paper approach to alerting the medical community about public health crises in favor of an electronic strategy to seamlessly and instantly push out information critical to patient care.
Regenstrief is demonstrating its pioneering and potentially life saving technology to health care, government, public health, industry and other health information technology leaders at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society's (HIMSS) Conference and Exhibition April 4 – 8 in Chicago.
To enable instant delivery of public health alerts to physicians, Regenstrief health-care information technology professionals have created a web application that interfaces with their DOCS4DOCS® service, operated by the Indiana Health Information Exchange (IHIE).
DOCS4DOCS is a clinical messaging service that delivers more than one million messages with information, such as laboratory or other test results, critical to patient care to physicians and other care providers each day throughout central Indiana. The public health department will now be able to create a message and securely send that message via DOCS4DOCS to clinicians when and where they are likely to utilize the information to improve patient care.
Like most other public health departments across the nation, the Marion County Health Department has traditionally performed the public health alert function using a variety of methods, including news releases targeted to the public and posting letters to physicians. Postal delivery service can delay notification to primary care physicians by 72 to 96 hours – a critical time in which the opportunity to better serve patients has been lost.
"One of the best ways to stop disease outbreaks is to rapidly identify and treat the cases," said P. Joseph Gibson, MPH, Ph.D., director of epidemiology, Marion County Health Department.
"So when a public health department detects an outbreak, it is often important to rapidly notify all the doctors in the area, so they may increase their index of suspicion for the illness, and do more testing and treatment."
"Maintaining accurate contact information for doctors in a city the size of Indianapolis can be challenging. That's where the well-established DOCS4DOCS alert system will be advantageous. DOCS4DOCS maintains the system, so the health department is relieved of the effort of trying to keep their contact information up to date," said Gibson.
Home of the Regenstrief Medical Records System, one of the world's oldest electronic medical records systems, the Regenstrief Institute has been capturing and aggregating health-care data from throughout Central Indiana since 1994. Today metropolitan Indianapolis is the most health-care wired city in the nation.
"Our public health broadcast messaging initiative leverages Regenstrief's core standards-based health information exchange infrastructure in novel ways to improve the health of our community. By building on existing proven technology already used for clinical health care, we minimize development costs and rapidly implement technology that delivers real-world value to public health," said Shaun Grannis, M.D., Regenstrief Institute research scientist and Indiana University School of Medicine assistant professor of family medicine.
Last year Regenstrief investigators received a $10 million, 5-year contract from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to accelerate the real-time ability of local, state and regional entities to share data and information to enhance rapid response to and management of potentially catastrophic infectious disease outbreaks and other public health emergencies.
"DOCS4DOCS is a robust, efficient communication system that can reach virtually all health-care providers in the Indianapolis metropolitan area. On a daily basis it provides essential information that facilitates and enhances clinical practice, and it also provides a superb platform for public health to send critical information to the medical community. It is a prime example of a bidirectional communication system that other communities should seriously consider for implementation," said Charles Magruder, M.D., M.P.H., senior advisor, Health Information Exchange Activities, National Center for Public Health Informatics at the CDC.
After further evaluation, Regenstrief plans to offer the new technology to other public health departments.

Redlands Connection is a concoction of sports memories emanating from a city that once numbered less than 20,000 people. From the Super Bowl to the World Series, from the World Cup to golf's U.S. Open, plus NCAA Final Four connections, Tour de France cycling, major tennis, NBA and a little NHL, aquatics and quite a bit more, the sparkling little city that sits around halfway between Los Angeles and Palm Springs on Interstate 10 has its share of sports connections. – Obrey Brown
A telephone call? From the NFL? To a University of Redlands player?
Can't be. It never happened before. It never happened again.
The deliverer of that message, University of Redlands' John Rebenstorf, said Brian De Roo, was among those "most unlikely to be believed" by team members.
De Roo eventually returned the phone call to Giants' head coach John McVey.
The exciting news: Fifth round selection. Mini-camp information. Dates. Flight arrangements. De Roo was a pro.
Bruce Gibson, for his part, was taken by the Detroit Lions two rounds later.
Axelrod, meanwhile, was De Roo's agent throughout his four-year stint in the NFL.
"Needless to say," said De Roo, "(my family) needed to move the party up."
Draft day had conflicted with the school's academic finals. De Roo left his party early to sleep and prepare for a final one day later.
"I was surprised to a certain extent," said De Roo, "but with the information given to me by Mr. Axelrod, not totally. (I was) just excited that it was on the first day of the draft."
Redlands, never having had a drafted football player, didn't quite know how to handle it, said De Roo. "In the end, they didn't do anything (to celebrate)."
There was a Bulldog inner circle, however. De Roo said being drafted was a "team victory as all of them were."
Serrao had returned telephone calls from NFL personnel people, providing film, guiding scouts and general managers throughout the process. Noting that UC Riverside receiver Butch Johnson, selected by Dallas, along with Butch Edge, a Bulldog linebacker, had probably brought additional spotlight to De Roo.
De Roo, out of Redlands, was off anyone's draft charts. Surrounded in the draft by players from USC, Texas, Alabama, Kentucky, Syracuse, the Bulldogs couldn't have been on anyone's map.
Pacific had to be. The Tigers had been the ticket for Tom Flores, Eddie Le Baron, All-Pro linebacker Mike Merriweather, plus Dick Bass, among dozens of others, who had been plucked by the NFL.
Even Hall of Fame coach Amos Alonzo Stagg had coached at UOP. Future coaches like Jon Gruden, Bob Toledo, Mike Martz, Hue Jackson and Pete Carroll were connected to the Stockton-based campus.
Redlands was full of wonderful players – too small, too slow, too inexperienced – that didn't play tough enough opponents to make a pro scout even take notice. De Roo, who snagged 156 passes as a Bulldog, might have been the exception.
Gibson, meanwhile, was playing for a Tigers' team that numbered 13 total wins during his 1975-77 stint. Playing the likes of Fresno State, Hawaii, Air Force, San Diego State, plus 17th-ranked Arizona in Gibson's sophomore season, Pacific was certainly on NFL scouts' radar.
Arizona stopped Pacific, 16-0.
Pacific was miles ahead of Redlands.
But Gibson, for whom Redlands High was built around a few years earlier, was cut by the Lions in training camp, never to play in an NFL game.
Other Redlands-based draftees:
1974 – Greg Horton was selected by George "Papa Bear" Halas, the longtime owner and coach of the Chicago Bears. Third round, out of Colorado.
1999 – Patrick Johnson, a world class sprinter who chose football over track & field, was taken by the old Cleveland Browns, now known as the Baltimore Ravens. Second round, out of Oregon.
That's the entire list from Redlands. Kylie Fitts, a defensive end from Redlands East Valley, was expected to be taken in 2018.
As for the NFL draft, consider that eventual Hall of Fame QB Warren Moon, from Washington, wasn't even selected. Moon, like De Roo eventually, wound up playing in Canada.
As for any University of Redlands celebration: Consider that De Roo's jersey No. 2 is the only football one ever to be retired.
Footnote: De Roo points out that McVey is the grandfather of current Rams' coach Sean McVey.

Nancy Anderson, vice president of financial reporting and chief financial officer with the Real Property Association of Canada (REALpac), joined REIT.com for a video interview during REITWise 2014: NAREIT's Law, Accounting and Finance Conference held in Boca Raton, Fla.
Anderson discussed the current overall health of the commercial real estate market in Canada.
"It's fair to say it's pretty stable and steady," she said. "There's low volatility right now in the Canadian economy. We do see fairly healthy demand in most property sectors and markets, so that's good. Some would say that there's a little too much being built in office, but we'll wait and see, because companies are downsizing in terms of square footage for employees. In retail, Canada seems to be very attractive right now to U.S. and European retailers, but that depends on interest rates and customer confidence."
Anderson also shared her view regarding global convergence of financial standards.
"Canada is already converged, so the Canadian perspective is really watching to see what else is happening," she said. "The big countries to watch, I think, are the U.S. and Japan. I don't think Japan is ready to converge right now. In the U.S., there's big convergence projects going on – revenue recognition is about to come out, so that's good, financial instruments and leases is maybe not going as well in terms of convergence. So we're seeing things not where we'd ultimately like them to go, because we would like to see convergence overall."
Anderson shared her opinion concerning the biggest financial reporting issue for Canadian real estate companies.
"There is a very current, hot topic, and it has to do with our leases standard," she said. "There was an IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) interpretations committee meeting about an issue with capitalization of certain internal costs – we think they should be capitalized, in the U.S. they are capitalized, and apparently that's not the result they got to. So, that's causing us a bit of grief right now, trying to figure out what we're going to do about that. "

The DOW finished down 242 points, the S&P was down 2.3%, the NDX finished lower by just 1%, and the RUT diverged lower with a 3.3% loss.
I just wrote a couple of articles dealing with the fundamentals, so I'll skip that for today except to provide a snippet from Bloomberg about the bond/Treasury market:
Treasury Bills Trade at Negative Rates as Haven Demand Surges
By Daniel Kruger and Cordell Eddings
Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Treasuries rose, pushing rates on the three-month bill negative for the first time, as investors gravitate toward the safety of U.S. government debt amid the worse financial crisis since the Great Depression.
The Treasury sold $27 billion of three-month bills yesterday at a discount rate of 0.005 percent, the lowest since it starting auctioning the securities in 1929. The U.S. also sold $30 billion of four-week bills today at zero percent for the first time since it began selling the debt in 2001.
Yep, "lowest since 1929" pretty much sums it up.
Volume on the day was slightly less on today's decline than on yesterday's rally except on the transports which fell 5.6% today on heavier volume. IYR and REITS also got hammered today, SRS was up nearly 13%.
The VIX rose only slightly, finishing at 59, up .7%.
Technically today is actually still working symmetrical to wave 'a'… although barely.
From a time perspective we need to rally tomorrow for it to continue. Below is a zoomed in 30 minute SPX chart. Note the circle I dropped into the chart on the left. It is highlighting the smaller b wave within wave 'a' up. Note how it became a flag with a mast that carried higher. Usually the target for a flag is the length of the original mast, so wave 'a' fell short of that. Now go to the right and you will see a blue flag I just drew in. That is a POTENTIAL bull flag. That mast is 100 points long, so you would expect a target up around 988, but I doubt it gets there on this next leg up IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION IT HEADS.
No I'm not certain enough to go large money at that! In fact, I still think this is a terrific time to sit and watch. Case in point, look at what happened when Fedex warned and lowered guidance. The transports got creamed, that's the risk in playing counter-trend. Frankly, I see the case for both bearish and bullish moves here, so again, my experience is yelling at me to play small or not at all. There is a time to take risk, and that time is not in the middle of cross currents.
This next chart is an expanded version of the same 30 minute SPX chart. As you can see on that chart, the 30 minute stochastic is oversold, as is the 10 minute. The fact that 885 held shows that the old upsloping line off the December 2nd bottom is still in play. Also note how the neckline of the inverted H&S pattern (double red lines) stopped today's decline. That may have been the classic "kiss" back. I liken this to the market just making sure it REALLY means it! This was probably a decent long entry as that neckline is a good place to use as a stop. If it goes below, get out of the position… or play short. It's a line of demarcation, but for me I'm taking a pass for now.
Busy chart, I know… there's a lot happening – cross currents!
Have a great evening,

Miggy, Vizquel concerned about Venezuela unrest
LAKELAND, Fla. -- The sun wasn't up yet on Tuesday morning when Miguel Cabrera pulled into Joker Marchant Stadium, arriving around 6:30 a.m. for the Tigers' first full-squad workout of this Spring Training. It was barely light when he went to work on following up his back-to-back American League MVP awards.
He even beat his new manager to work, after beating Brad Ausmus to camp last week, too. As he took throws at first base in infield drills, took his swings in batting practice and joked around with his teammates, he looked more at home than ever.
He wasn't literally home, though. He's worried about his home. With student protests, security response, censorship accusations and fatalities reported, Venezuela is in unrest.
And like so many other Venezuelans in Major League Baseball, Cabrera is concerned for his family, his friends and his countrymen.
"It's hard to be here and do your work and not think about your country," Cabrera said quietly in his corner of the Tigers clubhouse. "It's hard to be here and not be able to do anything."
He isn't the only one feeling that way.
"Man, it takes everything away from you inside," new Tigers first-base coach Omar Vizquel said. "It's hard to do something and not think about how your family is and how things are going to progress in our country. I'm just hoping for the best right now, hoping that they get together and resolve the situation. All that we want is just the integrity, the respect, the opinion, the expression of people. We don't want to see anybody dead."
Vizquel has several family members still in Venezuela. He spent a good portion of the offseason there as a coach in winter ball. Likewise, though Cabrera spends much of his offseason in south Florida, he has family and friends in his hometown of Maracay.
The Tigers have one of the largest Venezuelan contingents of any Major League team, including starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez, relievers Bruce Rondon and Jose Ortega, young infielder Hernan Perez, and numerous prospects. All of them have family and friends in Venezuela. Some were just there before heading to Spring Training.
Imagine watching protests at home from another country, even if it's an adopted home, and it's not hard to sympathize.
"Everybody's involved right now," Vizquel said. "It's a country thing. It's not only one part of a city or anything like that. Everybody in the country is involved, because it's not only happening in Caracas or Maracay. It's happening in the whole country."
As difficult as it is to watch events unfold from thousands of miles away without being able to do anything, it's similarly difficult wondering what to say that could ever help the situation. This is where the gravity of Cabrera's status as one of his country's most recognizable figures, and the way anything he says could be construed, becomes clear.
That's why he pauses to consider his words.
"I see it this way: When we play here, they give us a lot of support. Right now, a lot of players give a lot of support to the people of Venezuela," Cabrera said. "It's kind of hard right now. It's tough. It's a lot of people. You have to be careful with what you say."
Vizquel has made reference to the situation on his Twitter account, which has more than 277,000 followers, expressing pain for the suffering of his people. But he, too, has had limited tweets in recent days.
"They have to be careful what they say. We all have to be careful what we say," Vizquel said, "because we have to remember that whatever you say right now, if it is taken in the wrong way, they're going to think that we're leaning to one people. We have to be real careful with the words that we choose when we speak about this.
"But one thing is for sure: We worry about what's going on. Everybody does. We just want the best for the country, for our people. We don't want to see people dead on the streets. That's the worst thing you can see."
