Record Wall Street boosts sentiment, U.S. holds key in Q2

TOKYO (Reuters) - Whether the world's largest economy can sustain momentum will be a primary focus for investors for the next three months after a general recovery trend in the United States helped risk sentiment for broad markets in the first quarter of 2013. Asian shares edged higher and the euro steadied on Friday after banks in Cyprus reopened to relative calm. Overall trade was subdued, with many Asian markets, including Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong, closed on Friday for Easter holidays.

Banks lift TSX on Cyprus calm; index up for quarter

TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index powered ahead in a late surge on Thursday, led by strength in financial and industrial shares, on relief that banks in Cyprus reopened relatively smoothly following a bailout deal. The market received further support from BlackBerry after the smartphone maker reported a surprise quarterly profit.

Quarter of U.S. firms in China face data theft: business lobby

BEIJING (Reuters) - A quarter of firms that are members of a leading U.S. business lobby in China have been victims of data theft, a report by the group said on Friday, amid growing vitriol between Beijing and Washington over the threat of cyber attacks. Twenty-six percent of members who responded to an annual survey said their proprietary data or trade secrets had been compromised or stolen from their China operations, the American Chamber of Commerce in China report said.

Cyprus bank controls to last a month, minister says

NICOSIA (Reuters) - Cyprus conceded on Thursday that tight capital controls would remain in force longer than expected as the island's banks reopened for the first time after the government was forced to accept a tough EU rescue package to avoid bankruptcy. Cypriots lined up calmly to withdraw limited amounts of cash, but there was no sign of a run on deposits, as had been feared.

Sony, Olympus delay medical venture as regulatory approval on hold

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Sony Corp and Olympus Corp have again delayed the start of a joint venture to develop medical equipment because they have yet to gain approval from some regulators. "The examination by the relevant authority is taking longer than expected," the two companies said in a statement. They did not set a new date for operations to start.

Indonesia should ban all private cars from using subsidized fuel: adviser

TANJUNG BENOA, Indonesia (Reuters) - Indonesia should slap a nationwide ban on the use of subsidized fuel by the country's 11 million private cars, a move that would save the government $8.6 billion this year and erase a widening fiscal deficit, a presidential adviser said. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is struggling to find a way to deal with runaway fuel subsidy costs that now account for more than 30 percent of state spending and are draining funds that should be used for much-need infrastructure in Southeast Asia's largest economy.

French 'Survivor' contestant dies while on show

By Rhonda Richford, The Hollywood Reporter

Production on "Koh-Lanta," the French adaptation of "Survivor," has been stopped and the series canceled for the 2013 season following the death of a contestant during filming in Cambodia.

Channel TF1 and production company Adventure Line Productions jointly made the decision to cancel the season. "It is not really a question,? said TF1 spokesman Alexander Petit following the death of Gerald Babin, 25. ?Everyone is being flown back to France.?

No decision has been made about the long-term continuation of the series.

Gerald Babin?died Friday after suffering cardiac arrest during the first day of filming. After the group jumped from a boat and participated in a tug of war, Babin complained of cramps in his arms and was given medical attention at the scene by the staff doctor before being airlifted by helicopter to a nearby hospital. He suffered a series of cardiac arrests during the transfer before reaching the facility, the companies said.

?Adventure Line Productions, TF1 and [host]?Denis Broginart?are devastated and join in the profound sadness of Gerald?s family,? the channel said in a statement.? TF1 has flown Babin?s family to Cambodia to recover his body.?

Space station shifts its orbit to make speedy crew rendezvous possible

Shamil Zhumatov / Reuters

A police helicopter flies next to the Soyuz TMA-08M spacecraft as it is transported to its launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on March 26. The Soyuz will carry NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy along with Russian cosmonauts Pavel Vinogradov and Alexander Misurkin to the International Space Station.

By James Oberg, NBC News Space Analyst

For more than 30 years, Russian spaceships have taken two days to dock with their target ??but on Thursday, the travel time for a Soyuz capsule carrying three spacefliers to the International Space Station is being trimmed to six hours.

Has the Soyuz suddenly become speedier? Not really.

The Soyuz itself won't fly any faster when it's sent into space at 4:43 p.m. ET from Russia's Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It won't have any fundamentally new or improved guidance and navigation system. "All the systems of the vehicle are the same, but the work is more intense," Russian cosmonaut Pavel Vinogradov, the Soyuz's commander, said last week during a news briefing. "There are no new systems or modes in the vehicle, but the coordination work of the crew should be better."

This faster flight plan is possible only because someone else is doing the real work. The space station itself has shifted its position to be nearer to the Soyuz when that spacecraft goes into orbit. It is quite literally moving itself right in front of the speeding Soyuz.

---

The rapid rendezvous procedure has already been tested twice with robotic supply flights, but this is the first time it's been used with a crewed spacecraft. If it works, the crew should be docking with the station at 10:31 p.m. ET Thursday, taking the fastest ride to an orbital destination since NASA's Skylab missions, 40 years ago.

Hunter and hunted
Chasing down a target in the trackless void of space is not as simple as merely catching sight of it and thrusting towards it. The inflexible rules of orbital mechanics ??motion along orbital paths ? demand precise timing of critical course changes on the part of the vehicle that's doing the chasing.

For any space rendezvous, the first critical time is the moment when the chaser?s launch pad passes below the target?s circular orbit. If the chaser is launched during this moment and heads in a direction parallel to the target's orbital course, it winds up more or less in the same orbital plane as the target. That's the "planar window" for a launch.

But there's another critical timing requirement, having to do with how far ahead the target is when the chaser enters orbit. The target could be at any point in the circular path it follows around Earth, but it's important to choose the right point for launching the chaser.

Shamil Zhumatov / Reuters

The Soyuz TMA-08M spacecraft is transported from its assembly hangar to the launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome on March 26.

The numbers give you an idea of the scale of the problem: The space station travels in a circular orbit that averages around 224 miles (360 kilometers) in altitude, and the chaser spacecraft are usually launched into initial orbits averaging around 143 miles (230 kilometers). That lower orbit is faster, both because gravity is slightly stronger there, and because the radius is smaller, which makes each circuit shorter.

For that difference in average altitude, a typical chaser spacecraft will catch up with the station at a rate of 560 mph (900 kilometers per hour). So if the chaser starts out 5,600 miles (9,000 kilometers) behind the station in its orbit, it will take about 10 hours to overtake the station. If it?s 16,800 miles (27,000 kilometers) behind, it would take 30 hours. And it might be even farther.

Flexibility is key
If you have a long period of time available for making your rendezvous ? say, one or two days???you have more flexibility for launch opportunities, even if your chaser spacecraft starts out lagging far behind the station. Mission designers prefer to pick launch days on which the lag falls within a certain range. If it?s relatively far away, the chaser stays lower and faster for a longer period, to make up the lag. If the target is not so far away, the crew flies their ship higher sooner, to slow down the approach rate and arrive at the target at the same desired time.

The fast-rendezvous scenario, in contrast, has very little flexibility. The Soyuz has only a few hours to vary its altitude in order to accommodate a range of possible target distances. The range of acceptable distances between the chaser spacecraft and the space station is known as the "phase window." For a fast rendezvous, the phase window shrinks from what's typically about half of each orbit to as little as 5 percent of each orbit.

There are only a few launch opportunities when the precise time of the planar window also falls within the narrow slot of the phase window. That makes it harder to select an appropriate launch date for a fast rendezvous.

The job was easier back in the '60s, for the early rendezvous missions conducted by NASA and the Soviets. That's because those missions involved launching the target satellite first, and then launching the chaser no more than a few hours later. In such cases, the lag distance for the chaser's launch could be customized to fit the short range for a quick docking.

These days, the only way to approximate that required narrow slot in the sky is to have the International Space Station do an engine burn. This can push the station ahead or behind in its orbit, so that it happens to be at the proper distance at precisely the time when the Soyuz is launched.

That critical orbital maneuver took place a week ago: On March 21, a Progress cargo craft attached to the station fired its thrusters for 11 minutes and 13 seconds, pushing its orbital altitude from 253.5 to 255 miles (408 to 410.5 kilometers). It's just a mile and a half, but it's enough to ensure that the station will be in the right place, assuming that the Soyuz launches at the right time.

For all the virtuosity of the cosmonauts in their steering, the factor that makes the briefer trip at all possible is the target generously maneuvering itself right into the chaser?s sights. And for every quick rendezvous in the future, by Russian or American or other orbital vehicles, the same elaborate target line-up will be required.

PFT: Teams pressing Mathieu over marijuana use

Getty Images

Former NFL quarterback Jeff Garcia working with Jets starter-for-now Mark Sanchez seems like a legitimate opportunity for a man well-versed in the West Coast Offense to share his wisdom.

Throw in JaMarcus Russell, and it sounds like a punch line that?s looking for a joke.

But Garcia said he was impressed with the work Sanchez was doing, as he gets used to the changes new offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg is bringing to the Jets.

?He?s doing an excellent job ? the progress Mark has made over the past three weeks is definitely very positive,? Garcia told Jim Corbett of USA Today. ?It shows Mark is committed to bettering himself and getting himself more mentally prepared.

?

?The most important thing for Mark is to take that tough season last year as a learning experience from the standpoint of how he can get better and give his team the best chance to win. That has to be done in terms of being confident in his ability to run this system and speak the language correctly. So now when he takes the field in OTAs, he?ll be in that much more comfortable of a place.?

Garcia?s a good tutor for the system, and he threw for career-best numbers under Mornhinweg?s tutelage in San Francisco in 2000.

?Marty and I communicated a few weeks ago [about] what he?d like to introduce to Mark,? Garcia said. ?Mark is definitely getting more comfortable speaking the West Coast terminology. He had a brief glimpse of the West Coast system at USC.

?The toughest thing is this will be Mark?s third offensive coordinator in six seasons. The guy has had to learn a new system just about every other year. From a consistency standpoint, that just doesn?t translate to success in the NFL. You really need to be secure in what you?re doing mentally in order to compete at the highest level.?

Speaking of which, Garcia said Russell?s trying to get in shape for a pro day in a month or so, hoping to get another chance.

?Granted his back is against the wall,? Garcia said of the former first-overall pick. ?This is a situation where if he doesn?t do it now, it may never happen. But if you look at where he was two months ago to where he is today, he?s come a long way in demanding more out of himself than he ever did.?

If he had done that the first time through, he might not be a reclamation case.

Worker denies drinking thousands of dollars of old whiskey mansion

SCOTTDALE, Pa. (AP) ? The former live-in caretaker of a southwestern Pennsylvania mansion is denying he drank four dozen bottles of well-aged whiskey, saying it wouldn't have been safe to drink and "evaporated" instead.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (http://bit.ly/16jQrhx ) reports 63-year-old John Saunders issued that denial outside a district judge's courtroom on Wednesday. It came after his preliminary hearing on theft and other charges was postponed until May 15 so he could apply for a public defender.

Owner Patricia Hill found 52 bottles of Old Farm Pure Rye Whiskey in a century-old Georgian mansion she bought last year and police say an expert appraised them at more than $102,000.

Scottdale police charged Saunders with stealing the whiskey ? by drinking it ? after his DNA was found on some empty bottles.

Saunders says Hill is exaggerating the whiskey's value.

Biological wires carry electricity thanks to special amino acids

Mar. 12, 2013 ? Slender bacterial nanowires require certain key amino acids in order to conduct electricity, according to a study to be published in mBio?, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology, on March 12.

In nature, the bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens uses these nanowires, called pili, to transport electrons to remote iron particles or other microbes, but the benefits of these wires can also be harnessed by humans for use in fuel cells or bioelectronics. The study in mBio? reveals that a core of aromatic amino acids are required to turn these hair-like appendages into functioning electron-carrying biological wires.

"It's the aromatic amino acids that make it a wire," says lead author Derek Lovley of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Lovley and his colleagues removed the pivotal amino acids from the pili and replaced them with smaller, non-aromatic amino acids. Without these key components, Lovley says, the pili are nothing more than protein strings. "We showed it's not good enough to just make the string -- you've got to make a wire," says Lovley.

G. sulfurreducens "breathes" by removing electrons from organic materials and funneling them to iron oxides or to other microorganisms, much the way humans pull electrons out of organic molecules in food and dump them on oxygen. The bacteria use their pili to reach out to iron oxides or other microbes, transferring the "waste" electrons along the structure to the destination. Geobacter's pili are only 3-5 nanometers wide, but they can be 20 micrometers long, many times longer than the cell itself.

Trafficking in electrons is how all living things breathe, but it is normally carried out by discrete proteins or other molecules that act like containers for shuttling electrons from one place to another. Lovley says earlier results showed the pili in G. sulfurreducens possess metallic-like conductivity, the ability to carry electrons along a continuous structure, a controversial finding in biology.

To investigate how pili accomplish this singular feat, Lovley says they looked to non-biological organic materials that can conduct electricity. "In those synthetic materials, it's aromatic compounds that are responsible for the conductivity. We hypothesized that maybe it's similar in the Geobacter pili. In this case, it would be aromatic amino acids." Aromatic compounds have a highly stable ring-shaped structure made of carbon atoms.

Turning to the pili, Lovley says his group looked for aromatic amino acids in the parts of the pili proteins that would most likely contribute to the conductivity. Using genetic techniques, they developed a strain of Geobacter that makes pili that lack aromatic amino acids in these key regions, then they tested whether these pili could still conduct electricity. They could not. Removing the aromatic amino acids was a bit like taking the copper out of a plastic-covered electrical wire: no copper means no current, and all you're left with is a string.

Removing aromatic amino acids from the pili prevents the bacteria from reducing iron, too, says Lovley, an important point because it adds further proof that Geobacter uses its pili as nanowires for carrying electrons to support respiration.

Metal reducers like Geobacter show a lot of promise for use in fuel cells, says Lovley, and by feeding electrons to the microbes that produce the methane, they're an important component of anaerobic digesters that produce methane gas from waste products. Understanding how they shuttle their electrons around and how to optimize the way the pili function could lead to better technologies.

Moving forward, Lovley says his own lab plans to explore the possibilities of biological nanowires, exploring how to make them more or less conductive.

Mars had the right stuff for life, scientists find

By Irene Klotz

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida | Wed Mar 13, 2013 4:57am EDT

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - Seven months after NASA's rover Curiosity landed on Mars to assess if the planet most like Earth had the ingredients for life, scientists have their answer: Yes.

Analysis of powdered samples drilled out from inside an ancient and once water-soaked rock at the rover's Gale Crater landing site show clays, sulfates and other minerals that are all key to life, scientists told reporters at NASA headquarters in Washington and on a conference call on Tuesday.

The water that once flowed through the area, known as Yellowknife Bay, was likely drinkable, said Curiosity's lead scientist John Grotzinger, who is with the California Institute of Technology.

The analysis stopped short of a confirmation of organics, which are key to most Earth-like life. But with 17 months left in the rover's primary mission, scientists said they expect to delve further into that question. Science operations currently are suspended because of a computer glitch, which is expected to be resolved this week.

Whether or not Mars has or ever had life, it should have at one time at least had organic compounds delivered to its surface by organic-rich comets and asteroids. Finding places where the organics could have been preserved, however, is a much trickier prospect than finding the environmental niches and chemistry needed to support life, scientists said.

In May, following a one-month interruption of radio communications caused by the positions of Earth and Mars, scientists plan to drill a second hole into the Gale Crater rock to look for organic compounds.

"If there was organic material there, it could have been preserved," said David Blake, principal investigator for Curiosity's Chemistry and Mineralogy, or CheMin, experiment.

A lack of organics, however, would not rule out the Yellowknife Bay site as suitable for life, scientists added.

"You don't have to have carbon present in a geological environment that's habitable in order to have microbial metabolism occur," Grotzinger said.

Some micro-organisms on Earth, for example, can feed on inorganic compounds, such as what are found inside rocks.

"There does need to be a source of carbon somewhere, but if it's just CO2 (carbon dioxide), you can have chemoautotrophic organisms that literally feed on rocks and they will metabolize and generate organic compounds based on that carbon," Grotzinger said.

'BUILDING BLOCKS FOR LIFE'

Analysis shows the Gale Crater rock contains carbon dioxide, in addition to hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur and nitrogen.

Carbon dioxide provides a key ingredient in the building blocks for life, all of which have now been found in the Mars rock sample, Grotzinger said.

The $2.5 billion, nuclear-powered Curiosity rover landed inside the giant Gale Crater impact basin, located near the Martian equator, on August 6 for a two-year mission.

Scientists were drawn to the area because of a three-mile (5-km) mountain of sediment, called Mount Sharp, rising from the crater floor. But shortly after the rover's landing, the team decided to first explore the Yellowknife Bay area, located in the opposite direction from Mount Sharp.

Observations from Mars orbiters showed three different types of terrain coming together in Yellowknife Bay, plus a low elevation, all hints that water could have once flowed and pooled on the surface.

That hunch was verified with the first chemical analysis of material drilled out from inside what appears to be a slab of bedrock, named John Klein, after a mission manager who died in 2011. Scientists don't know the rock's age, nor how it formed. They suspect, however, that the John Klein rock is at least 3 billion years old and that it spent enough time in non-acidic and not-too-salty water for various telltale clays and minerals to form.

"This rock, quite frankly, looks like a typical thing that we would get on Earth," Grotzinger said. "The key thing here is this is an environment that microbes could have lived in and maybe even prospered in."

The habitable conditions in Yellowknife Bay appear to roughly coincide within a couple of hundred million years of the first evidence for life on Earth.

"On Earth, finding organics in very, very ancient rocks is a difficult proposition," said Paul Mahaffy, principal investigator for Curiosity's Sample Analysis at Mars, or SAM, instrument.

Finding organics on Mars may be even more challenging. Without much protection from an atmosphere, ultraviolet and cosmic radiation can destroy organics. Mars also apparently is covered with chemicals, known as perchlorates, that consume organics.

"The search for organic carbon is an issue for this mission and you want to do this as deliberately as possible. You don't just want to wander around and try stuff out," Grotzinger said.

Knowing that Mars at least had the ingredients for life, however, makes the search for organics more viable.

"This is not a simple problem, but I think the mission is up to it and we're really excited to get started on that now," Grotzinger said.

PFT: Lions want Bush signed before he leaves town

Getty Images

We reported over the weekend, which feels like it was a year ago, that the Broncos are interested in running back Rashard Mendenhall.

Interest could soon become something more.

Per a league source, the Broncos are likely to add the former first-round pick, whose rookie contract with the Steelers officially expired earlier today.

Mendenhall suffered a torn ACL in Week 17 of the 2011 season, and he battled an Achilles injury during the 2012 season.? He also had an Osama bin Laden Twitter misadventure two years ago, not to mention a decision to stay home after he was informed he?d be deactivated for a December game against the Chargers.

The Broncos don?t seem to be deterred.

Also interested are the Cardinals.? But the Broncos are deemed to be the favorite to land him.

Learn How To Do Roofing Do-it-yourself Projects | Suburban Life ...

In terms of home-improvement projects go, it isn?t really the dimensions with the changes which you make. Instead, the deciding factor needs to be the impact that?s created. With this particular mindset, don?t need to spend lots of money to make an impression. This handpicked choice of home-improvement tricks and tips would work for all sorts of projects.

One sort of roof vent you can use with metal roofing would be one made from Fibreglass. They normally come in exactly the same colour of the metal you will end up using. They are simple to install with metal screws and stand up well when you are thinking the sun and rain.

Roll roof your floor for a practically indestructible finish! Buy roll roofing with no adhesive strip. Glue it set up in long strips as it comes off the roll or break up into irregular geometric shapes. Coat thickly with paint and rehearse a brush to work the paint evenly in the surface. http://www.roofing-pros-newcastle.info

Make sure you have your property inspected before beginning any major renovations. Checking for roofing issues, termites, electrical issues and plumbing beforehand can help you save a great deal of trouble later on. Finding issues like these when you?re halfway by way of a renovation process can be a nightmare on the budget.

Metal roofing can be created of various sorts of metals. Some of the choices you might have when deciding are steel, zinc, copper, stainless steel, and alumninum. Many of these have their positives and negatives and you should look into each one of the crooks to make an informed decision.

You are able to install your metal roofing right over top of old asphalt tiles. This can save you time and money because you will not need costs active in the removal. But if there are more than two layers they should be removed first.

Suppose you are wanting to replace your roof and therefore are considering using either shingles or metal roofing. Which can be best? You will need to take into account the pitch with the roof. Either material work on the steep pitch, but also for a low pitch roof you should utilize metal roofing. Shingles will invariably leak.

You?ll need a truly trustworthy roofer if you fix or enhance your roof. Never enter in to any legal contract using a roofing company without first doing your homework. Talk about the BBB, online reviews as well as the DCA to acquire a good idea with how reputable a company is. www.roofing-pros-newcastle.info

Replacing the top on the home is amongst the largest expenses a house owner will face. Get estimates from three different roofing companies and view references at the same time. There are lots of different choices when it comes to new roofs. Ask your contractor which he thinks is best.

In case you just have one hundred bucks at your disposal, there are many affordable and accessible home-improvement projects that can have a great influence on the look off your home. Maintain the advice because of this article at heart when you commence to map out your following home and garden project.

Silver Investing; Keep It Simple: iShares Silver Trust, ProShares ...

GE Christenson:?Nixon dropped the link between the dollar and gold in 1971. Thereafter, the money supply rapidly expanded, consumer price inflation went wild, and both silver and gold increased in price by over a factor of 20 in early 1980.

Volcker raised interest rates, killed both inflation and inflationary expectations, and changed the economic landscape to allow for a nearly 20 year bull market in stocks. Silver and gold dropped below their long-term up-trend. Why put money into silver from 1982 ? 2000 when it was easy to make money in stocks?

The stock market crashed in early 2000, and the world changed after September 2001 (9-11). After that event, borrowing, spending, massive deficits, exploding national debt, war, and even bigger government became the norm. Stocks have gone nowhere, on average, for the last 13 years. Silver and gold, anticipating the massive increases in debt and money supply, woke from a two decade sleep and began a bull market that is likely to run for many more years.

Have you ever wondered how billionaires continue to get RICHER, while the rest of the world is struggling?

"I study billionaires for a living. To be more specific, I study how these investors generate such huge and consistent profits in the stock markets -- year-in and year-out."

The correlation is simple. More debt means higher prices for silver. Examine the following graph. Note that RSQ = 0.916 for?smoothed?(13 period moving average) monthly silver prices vs. National Debt ? a close correlation.

You may not believe the bull market in silver will continue, but I suspect that nearly everyone believes that debt will continue to increase ? or until the system resets in some future catastrophic event. I?m not suggesting that increasing debt forever is good or sensible or even possible, but I have seen no evidence that indicates Congress or any president is willing to balance the budget and initiate a sane spending policy.

If silver and gold prices correlate, on average, with the national debt and debt will increase until a crash/implosion/hyperinflation event restructures our economy, then you can bet on much higher silver and gold prices in the future.

Volatility will increase. Gold accelerated into a new high in 2011, and silver almost exceeded its 1980 high that same year. Both markets have been ugly, from a bull?s perspective, since then. Expect future parabolic rallies and vertical drops to become more intense in the next four years.

Expect more frightening and silly?statements from Goldman Sachs?et al about gold going down to $1,200, while they prepare to book fantastic profits from the rally they will encourage, when the time is right for them.?The names differ, the game is the same. It hasn?t changed in hundreds of years.

If you want stress, play the futures market in silver. If you want a long-term investment, buy silver at these low prices and wait for the powers-that-be to devalue the various Dollars, Euros, and Yen that we use. Silver and gold prices will be much higher four years from now, regardless of what you are told via the ?party line? from the Goldmans of the world.

Conclusion

KEEP IT SIMPLE!?Debt is increasing, money supply is increasing, silver and gold prices are increasing.

There is no political will to make any material change in the system until a crisis forces change upon all of us.?After the crisis, would you rather own gold, silver, Goldman promises, paper dollars, or sovereign debt paper issued by an insolvent government?Read?Ten Steps To Safety.

Buy silver at depressed prices (like now).?Sell some, not all, after a big rally, such as in 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2011. Another big rally is coming. Read commentary from?Jim Sinclair.

KISS: Keep Investing and Stacking Silver. Keep It Silver-Simple.

It is your choice. Silver or paper? Physical metal or computer-generated paper equivalents? Thousands of years of history where silver has functioned as a store of value and as valuable money or decades of broken economic promises??Keep Investing and Stacking Silver!

Heart-lung machines prove safe even in the elderly

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? One of the scariest parts of bypass surgery ? having your heart stopped and going on a heart-lung machine while doctors fix your clogged arteries ? is safe even in the elderly and doesn't cause mental decline as many people have feared, two landmark studies show.

Bypass surgery is one of the most common operations in the world. There is great debate about the best way to do it, and patients often are given a choice.

Usually doctors stop the heart to make it easier to connect new blood vessels to make detours around blocked ones. But some patients later complain of "pumphead" ? mental decline thought to be from the heart-lung machines used to pump their blood while their hearts could not.

So surgeons started doing "off-pump" bypasses on beating hearts. Nearly one quarter of bypasses are done this way now. But that brought a new complaint: Results on the blood vessels seemed not as good.

The new studies were aimed at testing all these factors in a rigorous way to see which method was best.

Dr. Andre Lamy of Canada's McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, led a study of 4,752 people in 19 countries. They were randomly assigned to have bypasses with or without the use of heart pumps.

After one year, there were no big differences in the rates of death, heart attack, stroke or kidney failure in the two groups. Slightly more people who had bypasses without a heart-lung machine needed a follow-up procedure to open clogged arteries but the difference was so small it could have occurred by chance alone.

Mental sharpness and quality of life also was similar in the two groups. That suggests that whatever decline occurred was temporary, or a result of anesthesia or something other than the way the operations were done, said Dr. Timothy Gardner, a surgeon at Christiana Care Health System in Newark, Del., and an American Heart Association spokesman.

"I'm actually somewhat surprised" the methods proved equally good because the operation is so much harder to do on beating hearts, he said. "It seems pretty conclusive" that either way is fine.

That was true even in people 75 or older, a group most worried about going on a heart-lung machine. The second study tested the two bypass methods in 2,539 of these elderly patients in Germany. Again, the methods proved equally safe and effective a year later.

The studies were discussed Monday at an American College of Cardiology conference in San Francisco and published online by the New England Journal of Medicine.

Bipartisan bill to re-legalize cellphone unlocking introduced in Senate

We should have known that it wouldn't take long for someone in congress to take up the fight to re-legalize cellphone unlocking. Those championing the effort on the floor of the Senate are Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) , Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Mike Lee (R-UT) who introduced the Wireless Consumer Choice Act this afternoon. After the Librarian of Congress declared that unlocking a cellphone violated copyright law under the DMCA (that's Digital Millennium Copyright Act) activists kicked into high gear in an attempt to prevent or reverse the decision. Consumer advocates quickly collected 100,000 signatures on a petition, forcing the White House to take a position on the matter. To the relief of many, including the globe trotters and ROM fanatics here at Engadget, President Obama backed our right to circumvent carrier locks -- within reason, of course. This is after FCC chairman Julius Genachowski voiced concerns that the ban could hamper competition and innovation.

Anna Eshoo, a Democrat from California, is pushing a similar bill in the House of representatives, but its the bipartisan senate version that seems to be garnering the most attention. In a statement Blumenthal called the legislation "common sense, crucial for protecting consumer choice and important for ensuring healthy competition in the market." Obviously this is just the beginning of a long long journey and all the sponsors can do is hope and pray their sad little scrap of paper will one day become a law.

Update: It turns out that there's another bill that has been introduced in the Senate as well, penned by Oregon senator Rob Wyden.

Oil above $90 as stock markets surge

NEW YORK (AP) ? The price of oil got a boost from rising stock markets Tuesday, but traders said that declines that sent oil to its low for the year on Monday will likely resume.

Benchmark oil for April delivery was up 21 cents to $90.33 a barrel in morning trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, used to price many kinds of oil imported by U.S. refineries, rose 63 cents to $110.72 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.

Global stock markets rallied as Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao confirmed the country's annual growth target of 7.5 percent and retail sales rose in Europe. In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrial average shot to a record high.

Oil has dropped about 7 percent over the past five weeks. Monday's temporary decline in crude prices to below $90 a barrel was attributed to the introduction in the U.S. of $85 billion in automatic government spending cuts, which could hurt the world's leading economy.

Lower oil prices have helped push down prices at the gas pump. The average price for a gallon of gas fell a penny overnight to $3.74, and is now 3 cents cheaper than a year ago.

Some traders think Tuesday's oil trading represents a pause in a downward trend.

"The ability of Brent and WTI to rebound back to above $110 and $90 suggests to us a bear market that could be in a pause for a while before resuming a decline that could carry down to about the $104 and $85 areas within the next week or two," said Jim Ritterbusch of the energy consulting group Ritterbusch and Associates.

As this week goes along, oil traders will be monitoring fresh information on U.S. supplies of crude and refined products and the latest government data on hiring.

In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:

? Wholesale gasoline added 2 cents to $3.11 a gallon.

? Heating oil rose 3 cents to $2.95 a gallon.

? Natural gas gained 3 cents to $3.55 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Enjoy The Moments | Personal Training Lexington KY 859-576-4453

Today I want to share an entry in my journal with you. My life has changed immeasurably over the last 2 years ? mostly for the good. However, nothing is good unless you see it that way ? and while reading a book today I realized that I don?t make the most of the time I have; the moments. Everything from here on out is my journal ? myself speaking to myself ? and hopefully to you as well?

?

I am successful; I am a success. There were many years that I could not utter those words, at least not without the deep realization that it was a lie. I felt held down, smothered by an unseen force ? it turns out that I was exactly right ? I was held down by myself.

?

That being said, I did wake up from that nightmare. I once dreamed that the world had its cold hands wrapped about my throat, that it would not let me succeed, that it was a cruel and impossible host. Then one morning I awoke to a world that rewarded me for my works, that recognized my dedication; and that cold, icy world released its grip and became a dream itself?

?

My business is doing better than I ever imagined it would. When I complete a personal training session I know that it is a fantastic investment all the way around. I win because my business succeeds; the client wins because they receive the power and control afforded by the truth; a new body, new strength, health, and a new outlook on life. It is truly and honestly a win-win situation ? a situation where everyone comes out on top.

?

Many of the things that I have wanted to accomplish in my life I have accomplished in one way or another. Writing a book, performing stand-up comedy, learning the truth about exercise and nutrition (still learning), television appearances, a successful business, qualifying for Nationals in Competitive Bodybuilding, painting, public speaking, and helping countless others achieve success in controlling their bodies looks and health.

?

I have many more things that I would like to do. I am starting a business consulting group with my friend and successful businessman Brian Evans called Bluegrass Elite. I plan on writing my second book, Food for Thought, very soon. I have a rough outline of a novel hashed out and ready to begin drafting. I would like to begin selling my paintings online and art shows. I have solid plans to appear on National Television giving the nation the truth about fitness, and see where that leads?

?

But while reading the strange, but intriguing book, Way of The Peaceful Warrior today I realized that I might be pushing too hard in the direction of progress without feeling the progress nearly enough. What am I talking about? I?m talking about feeling and enjoying every moment of life. I don?t think I do that nearly enough.

?

When I complete a project I move to the next with hardly a moment of enjoyment. Seldom do I take even a second to relish in the victory.

?

I?ve noticed that I rush through my food, so I can rush through my workout, so I can rush through my work day. I?ve noticed that I want the moments to pass ? I want to ?get through? the day and every moment of it ? not because I dislike the moments, but so I can get to the next one. But at what cost do I do this? How many moments do I have left? Why do I want to push through them so numbly and with such haste?

?

It?s healthy to want more ? but it?s also healthy to enjoy each moment of what you have accomplished.

?

This all started with a realization from Way of the Peaceful Warrior about my eating habits. No, not what I eat, but how I eat it. I eat far too fast ? sometimes in the car, while reading or writing. Sometimes I don?t even remember what the food tasted like ? and there is no excuse for that. Here is the quote from the book Way of The Peaceful Warrior about eating that stuck with me, and made the stop and think about all of this:

?

?The pleasure from eating, Dan, is more than the taste of the food and the feeling of a full belly. Learn to enjoy the entire process ? the hunger beforehand, the careful preparation, setting an attractive table, chewing, breathing, smelling, tasting, swallowing, and the felling of lightness and energy after the meal. You can even enjoy the full and easy elimination of the food after it?s digested. When you pay attention to all the elements of the process, you?ll begin to appreciate simple meals.?

?

I am not on this earth to glide smoothly along and then slide quickly and effortlessly into a grave. I am here to learn and better myself as much as possible. I want to enjoy my life and be the absolute best I can be ? at anything I do.

?

I don?t want to eat my meals without tasting them ? I don?t want to waste moments. I must start enjoying every moment. Walking to mailbox and feeling the sun on my face, the feeling of drifting off to sleep after a long day, the feeling of eating the perfect amount ? stomach not too full, not too empty. I don?t want to drive somewhere and end up there without remembering the roadways and scenery along the way (yes, I do this often).

?

I must transcend. I must enjoy every moment. I must enjoy every accomplishment and every detail of a victory. I must enjoy simple things. I must enjoy the car I have. I must enjoy the home I have. I must enjoy the family I have. I must enjoy the years I have. I must enjoy the months I have. I must enjoy the days I have. I must enjoy the hours. I must enjoy the moments?I must transcend.

?

nil desperandum ? NEVER GIVE UP!!!

?

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) ? Her fifth career triple-double did little to coax some excitement out of Brittney Griner. Not when there's still a month left in top-ranked Baylor's pursuit of a second straight national championship.

The largest crowd ever for a women's game at West Virginia saw Griner finish with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 10 blocked shots, and the Lady Bears built a big early lead in defeating the Mountaineers 80-49 on Saturday night.

Individual accomplishments mean little to the most dominant player in women's college basketball.

"Nah, I'll do that after I'm done with my college career," Griner said.

It was Griner's first triple-double since November 2010. It tied her with Kansas State's Shalee Lehning (2006-09) for the most in conference history.

"She brings it like that every day, guys," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. "That's what makes her special. When I go to practice, I just know if I see Brittney, it makes our practice because she's just that kind of kid. She's not a prima donna, she just works."

In the earlier meeting this season in Waco, Texas, Griner finished one blocked shot shy of a triple-double.

She got it this time with more than 5 minutes left in the game.

"My teammates found me, and got me the ball," Griner said. "And then I was just aggressive getting rebounds and getting blocks."

On Monday night, Baylor will try to become the first Big 12 school to finish undefeated in women's conference play twice, having done it last season. The Lady Bears will take a 26-game winning streak into their regular-season finale at home against Kansas State. The Big 12 tournament is next weekend.

Shortly before tipoff, just as he does every home game, West Virginia's buckskin-wearing mascot fired his musket at midcourt, startling everyone on Baylor's bench.

During the game, it was West Virginia that looked frazzled.

Baylor (28-1, 17-0 Big 12) never trailed. The Lady Bears scored the first 14 points of the game and built a 38-22 halftime lead.

"I thought we played scared in the beginning," said West Virginia coach Mike Carey.

Despite falling behind by as many as 20 points in the first half, West Virginia trimmed the deficit to single digits. A 10-2 run, capped by Christal Caldwell's basket, brought the Mountaineers within 42-34 with 17:27 left in the game. That's as close as West Virginia got.

Just as quickly, Baylor pulled away. Griner's jumper started a 15-3 run that put the Lady Bears ahead 57-37 with 12:27 remaining.

Griner's rebound with 5:22 left gave her the triple double, and her ensuing basket gave Baylor a 70-44 lead.

West Virginia had hoped to get Griner into foul trouble, but she didn't pick up her third foul until there was 5:38 left in the game and she went to the bench for good a short time later.

West Virginia tied its lowest point total of the season. The Mountaineers attempted 21 more field goals than Baylor but shot just 22.5 percent from the floor.

"I thought tonight, from the tip, we guarded West Virginia," Mulkey said. "We talk a lot about what we do on the offensive end of the floor, I don't think people talk enough about what we do on the defensive end of the floor."

West Virginia had hoped somehow to keep pace with the nation's second-best scoring offense by moving center Ayana Dunning, who is 5 inches shorter than Griner, to the outside. But Dunning, in her final home game, made 2 of 7 3-point tries and finished with nine points.

Christal Caldwell scored 14 points to lead West Virginia (17-11, 9-8), which saw its three-game winning streak snapped.

Odyssey Sims added 10 points for Baylor.

Griner got off to a slow start by her standards, but Baylor didn't.

While West Virginia missed its first seven shots, Baylor took control from the opening tip and raced to a 38-22 halftime lead.

Griner did score the game's first basket, then didn't score again until the 12:38 mark. She had 16 points, four rebounds and four blocks by halftime, then turned up the tempo on defense in the second half.

A record crowd of 13,447 watched the Mountaineers fall to 0-5 all-time against top-ranked teams at home. It broke the previous mark of 8,307 set against DePaul in 2008. West Virginia entered the game with the lowest average home attendance in the Big 12 at 1,894.

"That crowd needs to be out here for every game, not just when Baylor comes to town, because that's good," Mulkey said. "That's healthy for West Virginia, that's healthy for the Big 12, that's healthy for our sport. And we love that. "
