The U.S. Navy Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) has selected the InSitu Integrator unmanned aircraft for the Small Tactical Unmanned Air System (STUAS)/Tier II system, and awarded the system developer Insitu Inc., – a wholly owned subsidiary of the Boeing Company – a contract worth nearly $44 million for the development and fielding of the service’s next generation tactical UAS, this contract will support low-rate initial production of two systems, one each for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. Reportedly worth around $450 million, STUAS/Tier II calls for an initial fielding of 56 UAV systems, beginning in 2013. This follow-on contract worth up to $450 million. Initial operating capability is expected in fourth quarter fiscal 2013.
Early Deployment Could See Mixed Integrator, ScanEagle Units
Under the initial $43.7 million contract awarded last week (29 July 2010) Insitu will begin the 24-month engineering, manufacturing and development phase to build and test its Integrator UAS satisfying STUAS/Tier II system requirements. Following this phase the Corps will have an option to buy up to five Integrator UAV systems in fiscal 2011 for quick deployment alongside the currently fielded ScanEagle. Such an early stage operation could expand the current operational capabilities offered by ScanEagle beang leased from Boeing. ScanEagle and Integrator could share the same launch and recovery systems. The ScanEagle UAS that recently completed 340,000 combat flight hours was also built by Insitu has been leased by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps since 2004, operated and supported in the field by civil contractors.

Burning coal produces a variety of solid wastes known as coal combustion waste or coal combustion products. These include coal ash (fly ash and bottom ash), boiler slag, and flue-gas desulphurization products. In 2007 over 120 million tons of these wastes were produced in the US, of which approximately 44% was reused in other applications. Storage of the remainder is complicated by the presence of toxic and radioactive compounds in the waste.
Coal combustion wastes contain a variety of toxic compounds such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, mercury, selenium, thorium and uranium, as well as dioxins and poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Despite the presence of these toxic compounds, this waste has not been regulated by the EPA as hazardous waste and has often been kept in large impoundments near coal-fired power plants without sufficient containment and in some cases at sites with a high risk of flooding in the area. Furthermore, waste storage generally includes no clear plan to render waste safe. This means they are by default plans to store waste forever, a recipe for eventual failure.
In 2007 the EPA conducted a large-scale survey assessing the risks2.5 Mb due to the long-term storage of toxic coal wastes, finding that in the worst case-scenario, residents living near an unlined coal waste pond can have a 1 in 50 chance of getting cancer from the site, primarily though exposure to arsenic. Furthermore, after a detailed analysis of this survey by environmental groups, the EPA refused to release the locations of the most toxic coal waste storage sites although they began informing local residents. However, in September 2009 the EPA announced that they were planning to overhaul the rules for coal-fired plants for the first time since 1982 to include new limits on toxic metal discharges. In advance of these changes the EPA and other have released studies documenting water contamination from coal waste at 137 sites in 34 states.
Groundwater near these impoundments is often polluted with arsenic and other contaminants. For example, the 2008 fly-ash spill in Tennessee plugged the Emory River, fouled approximately 300 acres, and will require the removal of 5.4 million cubic yards of coal ash waste. This spill is expected to cost more up to $1 billion to clean up and has recently been taken over by the EPA under the Superfund law.
Coal ash is divided into fly ash (which is captured from chimneys of the coal plant) and bottom ash (which is removed from the bottom of coal furnaces). Fly ash used to be released into the atmosphere but is now mostly captured prior to release. Most of this ash is impounded near power plants, while the reused portion is often placed in landfills/old mines or transported for use in cement production. However, the use of fly ash as a building material is quite controversial with proponents claiming that it reduces the cost of concrete and is better than impounding the toxins in a landfill and opponents pointing to numerous studies showing the highly variable quality of fly ash for concrete and risks associated with the presence of these toxins in the concrete.
In addition to bottom ash, older coal furnaces produce what is known as boiler slag which is a hard black granular material that forms when molten ash comes in contact with cooling water. Boiler slag can be used as inert filler in materials such as asphalt and concrete. While there is a demand for this waste product, supplies are dwindling as new coal combustion methods predominate.
Flue-gas desulphurization refers to the “scrubbing” process commonly used to remove acid-rain causing sulfur products from coal combustion exhaust. This process produces waste which consists primarily of calcium sulfate or calcium sulfide. This waste can be used to make synthetic gypsum in applications such as the creation of concrete and wallboard. While there is an interest in increasing the amount of coal combustion wastes that are reused, the market for gypsum is close to saturation. Partly to address this concern, the EPA and USDA have recently been promoting the use of these wastes as agricultural fertlizer.
Recently there has also been interest in recyling the uranium found in coal combustion wastes which would reduce the radioactivity of the waste, but may produce additional toxic byproducts during purification of the uranium.
Coal Combustion Waste Disposal in Alaska
Alaska currently possesses six coal-fired plants, all located in the Railbelt region not far from Usibelli Coal Mine Inc. These consist of three military bases (Eielson, Fort Wainwright, and Clear AFS), one “mine-mouth” plant near Usibelli, the Chena Power plant in Fairbanks, and a small plant at University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). All of these are “pulverized coal combustion” plants that are decades old. All of these plants have baghouses (particle capture systems) and the military bases and mine-mouth plant dispose of their combustion wastes in landfills/mines. Chena and UAF dispose of their wastes outside city limits via contractors.
Waste Disposal in Alaska is monitored by the Department of Environmental Conservation which maintains publicly available records of operation plans, and inspection reports for waste facilities.
According to these documents and to unpublished interviews the majority of coal combustion wastes in Alaska are used as fill in some manner or another. The three military bases dispose of these wastes in nearby unlined landfills, and Eielson also uses them to cap an asbestos landfill. The mine-mouth plant in Healy returns the waste to Usibelli where it is placed back into one of the mines.
The UAF used to use their coal combustion wastes as fill for things like driveways, parking lots, and roads on campus. Currently a contractor is responsible for the disposal of these wastes and all the waste currently goes to filling pits created by mining peat. The Chena power plant in Fairbanks uses a different contractor to dispose of their coal combustion wastes, but they go to the same location.
As noted above, coal combustion wastes may contain a number of hazardous compounds. However, the concentrations of these compounds and their propensity to leach into the environment vary with the type of coal being burned, and the type of waste being disposed of (e.g. fly ash vs boiler slag). Chemical tests of Alaska’s coal combustion waste are needed to determine whether using this waste as fill poses an environmental risk.

The main characters are Esther and Benji. Having decided that only those who aspire to achieve success, young people try to find themselves, living a very boring life. They believe that happiness can be acquired in the city of hope – Los Angeles. A series of failures absorbs them from the head and nothing remains but platonic love for each other, which saves in the most difficult times.
When will the series “Alone Together season 2” be released?
The comedy series “Alone Together Season 2” will appear on the screens on August 1, 2018. According to official data, it became known that Freeform TV channel closed the project after 2 seasons.
The unjust world refused to reveal its arms to Esther and Benji, throwing a lot of setbacks. If there are quarrels between them, then they know who will take on the whole portion of the negative – good old friend Jeff.
Paying attention to the surrounding people, the guys naively believe that the most important thing in a person’s life is a social status. For the sake of career and profit such people walk on their heads, destroy other people’s fates, expanding personal horizons. When the environment entirely consists of a socially anxious population, one involuntarily wants to achieve good results. So our heroes are eager to improve their social status. Esther tries to try her hand at the stand of the stand, but for the time being she just stumbles into crazy and ridiculous situations, pulling her friend and herself. The only thing that warms them at the time of desperation is the idea that they have each other, and are always ready to help. To the questions of curious personalities, why they do not meet – they always reply that they are indifferent.
The first season gave the film enthusiast a lot of thought about the platonic relationships of the main characters. Maybe season 2 is able to make their union more romantic? And how can they raise their social status in this brutal and embittered city?
Actors and their roles
- Esther – Esther Povicki. The actress, screenwriter, director, is also known for her stand-up performances in Los Angeles and California. When the MTV channel suggested making a reality show from her life, like the “Kardashian Family”, she immediately refused. At the moment, is engaged in shooting the series “Explosive thing”, where he plays Christy Coombs.
- Benji is Benji Aflalo. Producer, actor, successful writer. Was nominated many times, but never received awards. The spectators are sure that Aflalo is worthy of the Screen Actors Guild Award for the role of Benjy from the series “Alone Together.”
- All three directors of this television series agreed that the characters will wear their real names, as the fates of the characters are similar to their actors.
- After the demonstration of the pilot series, with each next, the number of viewers increased by 350 thousand people, reaching the end of the first season of a millionth figure. It is worth noting that the first season consists of 10 series lasting 22 minutes.
- The script for the series was written by Povicki 3 years ago, and then she starred in a feature film, playing one of the roles.
- “Freeform” TV channel bought rights to broadcast the series six months before the airing.

It was hilarious timing, really. I thought I was being all novel when I decided to review the two premiere birthday cake flavored protein bars on the market when I pitted the MusclePharm Combat Crunch Birthday Cake against the OhYeah! ONE Birthday Cake in a battle to see which bar was more worthy of your birthday cake muscles. Pretty much as soon as I hit “Publish” on that review, Chef Robert Irvine dropkicks a birthday cake right into my face when GNC announced the new Chef Robert Irvine’s FIT Crunch Birthday Cake protein bar.
Here’s your shameless plug for the day. I encourage you to read that last Review Battle before continuing because I will refer back to it in this one:
I dug both of those bars, but the OhYeah! ONE Birthday Cake bar is going to be tough to beat. OhYeah! ONE Birthday Cake tasted like straight vanilla frosting and looked like a unicorn barfed sprinkles all over it. It was made with confectioner’s glaze, and I can’t be sure if that is purely for aesthetics or if it contributed to that magnificent cake flavor. All I know is that I want confectioner’s glaze on everything. Combat Crunch Birthday Cake was a damn fine protein bar as well, but it contained some citrusy undertones that pushed it further away from real birthday cake. Today we’ll see how Chef Robert Irvine’s FIT Crunch Birthday Cake bar stacks up against them. So who exactly is Chef Robert Irvine? Who gives a shit.
Though it is a larger protein bar, Chef Robert Irvine’s FIT Crunch Birthday Cake is one nutritionally dense son of a bitch. For most people that aren’t human garbage dumpsters like me, this is more in the meal replacement territory than a straight whey protein complement. Here are the calories and macros, aka the food points that we only track when we are actually doing well: Cals (380) Fat (16g), Carbs (27g), Protein (30g). FIT Crunch Birthday Cake also contains 6g of sugar – more than most bars. This leaves me optimistic it will taste really special, but I usually look for leaner profiles from my protein bars. I prefer bars that are about 1g of protein for every 10 calories like the ratio you commonly see in Quest Bars. Here’s your second shameless plug: I once reviewed 19 Quest Bars because I’m a maniac. Consider reading if you might be one yourself.
Chef Robert Irvine’s FIT Crunch Birthday Cake is a baked whey protein bar with a “soft cookie center.” Boy, this fitness thing would be a breeze if everything was just cake and cookies! The bars contain a 94% Whey Protein Isolate as the first ingredient, and it includes some Soy Protein Isolate not far behind. Outside of vanilla, nothing on the ingredient list screams “birthday cake” but that’s not uncommon. That signature flavor is going to be derived from mysterious “natural flavors.” No confectioner’s glaze 🙁 . A couple other housekeeping notes before we dig in: 1) These bars contain sucralose and 2) These bars contain almonds & peanuts. Avoid if you’re anti-artificial sweeteners or if nut allergies consume your entire life.
My first bite… tasty! But hmmm… where have I had this before? Combat Crunch. The flavor profile of Chef Robert Irvine’s FIT Crunch Birthday is right in line with MusclePharm Combat Crunch Birthday Cake. I had previously described the Combat Crunch version as having somewhat of a lemony, acidic element to it. Robert Irvine’s FIT Crunch Birthday Cake has an even more pronounced version of this. This citrus flavor couples with the vanilla to produce something that does taste good, and the creamy mouthfeel works for a “frosted cake” flavor. But if this is birthday cake, it’s a lemon birthday cake. If you chose lemon for your birthday cake, shame on you and I’m not coming to your party.
The textures are something else in Robert Irvine’s FIT Crunch Birthday Cake. I prefer them over Combat Crunch Birthday Cake, but it ain’t exactly cake-like, either. Between the baked cookie center and the “protein crisps,” it would only be cake if you were eating the outer edges of a stale birthday cake. I’m not going to complain about this texture because it works well for a layered protein bar (I have to keep reminding myself that these aren’t supposed to be cakes). This bar is massive and fills you up well; I see that as a benefit. But honestly – it misses the birthday cake bar after the Oh Yeah! ONE Birthday Cake set it sky high. I view it the same way I did the Pumpkin Pie Quest Bar… I liked the taste, but it wasn’t totally the advertised flavor. For that, it’s my least favorite of the three birthday cake bars.
How Much You Suck If Lemon Is Your Favorite Cake Rating: 8 out of 10
How Much Chef Robert Irvine Is Totally Going to Kick My Ass Rating: 8.5 out of 10
Overall Rating: 7 out of 10
Current Birthday Cake Protein Bar Power Rankings:
- OhYeah! ONE Birthday Cake: (9.5)
- MusclePharm Combat Crunch Birthday Cake: (7.5)
- Chef Robert Irvine’s FIT Crunch Birthday Cake: (7.0)

(HealthDay News) – Meditating for only a few weeks leads to improved white matter changes in areas of the brain linked to self-regulation.
Yi-Yuan Tang, PhD, from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, and colleagues used diffusion tensor imaging to assess white matter integrity in 45 U.S. undergraduates who had been randomized to a four-week program of integrative body-mind training (IBMT; a form of mindfulness meditation) or relaxation training as a control. An additional study was performed in 68 Chinese undergraduates who received similar training for two weeks.
The researchers found that, in the four-week study, IBMT increased fractional anisotropy (indicating improved white matter efficiency) in areas around the anterior cingulate cortex, which was accompanied by decreased radial diffusivity (interpreted as improved myelin) and axial diffusivity (interpreted as involving other mechanisms, such as axonal density). In the two-week study, IBMT only reduced axial diffusivity and improved mood.
“Our results demonstrate the time-course of white matter neuroplasticity in short-term meditation,” Tang and colleagues conclude. “This dynamic pattern of white matter change involving the anterior cingulate cortex, a part of the brain network related to self-regulation, could provide a means for intervention to improve or prevent mental disorders.”

I've had this TV for a few years. Never had a problem with it until in the middle of watching it the audio cut out suddenly. Upon inspection I've determined that no inputs (the HDMI for my laptop, the aireal for the tv, and the external hard drive, which doesn't even power up) are working. The optical output that goes to my speakers also is not working. Tried a full reset. Tired unplugging and waiting nothing at all works.
Hello, I understand how this can be frustrating when no ports are working correctly and want to help, does this issue occur when not using an HDMI device? Also, have you tried using a different HDMI cable or cables for the other devices? And can I have your full model number and current software version number?

After the initial broke up, I became even more determined.
I looked at all my stuffs, and thought that “I could do some recording material”. And so I did! I recorded my favourite song, Like Light To The Flies by Trivium.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Jacob deGrom estimated he threw 60-something curveballs last season, roughly two per start, so it’s not exactly a go-to pitch for the two-time Cy Young winner.
But Friday, on Field 7 behind Clover Park, deGrom decided to unholster the curve again during a simulated game — technically his third start of spring training — with the count 1-and-1 to J.D. Davis. It’s a pitch deGrom has been trying to refine down here, and Davis showed him it’s still very much an unfinished product by smashing the hanger over the leftfield wall.
“It’s something that I’ve been working on just to have another weapon,” deGrom said. “But once he hit it, I said to [catcher Rene Rivera], ‘That’s why I don’t throw it.’ ”
The other pitches, however, looked fine and deGrom was mostly pleased with the outing. He threw 51 over three innings, 32 for strikes, and allowed two hits, both to Davis, who also had a single. DeGrom struck out three, including Dom Smith swinging on a nasty changeup that had both of them laughing. He also had a few battles with Yoenis Cespedes, who grounded out twice and flied out to rightfield on a 3-and-2 slider.
Davis, who’s been recovering from a jammed left shoulder, passed a big test in his first live at-bats since injuring himself on Feb. 25.
“It’s a confidence-booster,” Davis said. “The shoulder held up pretty good so far, so that’s a pretty positive direction.”
Michael Wacha allowed his first run of spring training in his third start. Wacha, who is battling Steven Matz for the No. 5 starter’s job, was charged with one run in 2 2/3 innings against the Astros in West Palm Beach . . . Jeff McNeil was sent back to his Port St. Lucie lodgings after reporting to camp with the flu-like illness that has been going around the Mets, manager Luis Rojas said..

Find Out Which Methods Have Been Proven To Be Effective In Treating ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is a neurological disorder that affects approximately 5% of school-age children. Symptoms of ADHD include impulsivity, hyperactivity, and difficulty focusing. While there is no cure for ADHD, there are a variety of effective treatments that can help manage symptoms. The most commonly used treatments are medication and behavioral therapy. Stimulant medications such as Ritalin and Adderall are often prescribed to help improve focus and concentration. Behavioral therapy can also be helpful in teaching new skills and strategies for coping with ADHD. In some cases, a combination of medication and therapy is the most effective approach. With treatment, most people with ADHD are able to lead successful and productive lives. Suboxone Doctor can help a lot!
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to treating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, there are several evidence-based treatments that can help people with ADHD manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. These include medication, behavioral therapy, and educational interventions. In some cases, a combination of these treatments is most effective. Medication is often the first line of treatment for ADHD. Stimulant medications, such as methylphenidate and amphetamine, are the most commonly prescribed drugs for ADHD. They work by increasing levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, which can help to improve focus and concentration. Behavioral therapy involves working with a therapist to identify and change negative patterns of behavior. This type of therapy can be especially helpful for children with ADHD. Educational interventions may also be recommended. This can involve working with a tutor or special education teacher to promote academic success. With the right treatment plan, many people with ADHD can lead successful and fulfilling lives.

A new tool developed by researchers at Northwestern University shows spaceflight consistently alters the diversity of bacteria in astronauts' guts.
The tool, called Similarity Test for Accordant and Reproducible Microbiome Abundance Patterns (STARMAPS), was used to analyze data from various experiments, including samples collected from mice sent to the space shuttle and International Space Station, NASA's Twins Study and Earth-based studies on the effects of radiation on the gut.
A wide array of data suggests that mice on the space shuttle and space station underwent changes similar to those that astronaut Scott Kelly experienced during his 11 months in space. The new study also shows that these microbiome changes are most likely caused by microgravity, rather than by radiation, according to a statement from Northwestern University in Illinois.
"Radiation definitely has an effect on the gut microbiome," Martha Vitaterna, a neurobiologist at Northwestern University and lead author of the study, said in the statement. "But those effects do not look like what we saw in spaceflight."
The study looked at mouse samples from the final American space shuttle mission, STS-135, which launched in 2011, as well as samples from seven different groups of mice that were sent to the space station as part of NASA's Rodent Research mission, which began in 2014.
Microbiome changes observed in the groups of mice studied on the space station were compared to a ground control group, which lived in an environment that simulates spaceflight habitats. The study also included data from a baseline group and a laboratory group, which were housed in a conventional mouse facility.
In addition, the researchers analyzed data from NASA's Twins Study, which compared physiological changes in astronaut Scott Kelly to his Earth-bound twin, Mark, who was also an astronaut.
Although research has shown that spaceflight causes significant changes in the diversity of bacteria in the gut microbiome, the exact cause of the changes wasn't entirely clear.
"There wasn't a statistical approach for doing this work," Vitaterna said in the statement. "The tools didn't exist, so we invented them. It's a classic case of how necessity is the mother of invention."
Using STARMAPS, researchers were able to identify patterns in which different types of bacteria become more or less abundant under various conditions. Thus, the new tool offers a much more comprehensive view of how spaceflight affects astronauts' gut microbiomes.
The study revealed similar microbiome changes in the spaceflight and ground control mice, compared to the other two groups of mice. Data from the Twins Study also showed the same pattern of microbiome changes in Scott Kelly, who was making his fourth spaceflight during the Twins Study. That finding suggests that microbiome changes are comparable among multiple spaceflights, the researchers said.
"If we are going to send humans to Mars or on long missions to the moon, it is essential to understand the effects of long-term exposure of the space environment on us — and on the trillions of bacteria traveling with us," Fred Turek, co-author of the study who researches sleep at Northwestern, said in the statement.
However, there were slight differences in the microbiome changes observed between the spaceflight and ground control mice groups, which indicates habitat plays a key role.
Previous studies on the effects of radiation on the mouse microbiome do not show the same pattern of microbiome changes. Therefore, the researchers believe microgravity may have a distinct effect on the gut microbiome, though further research is needed, according to the statement.
"Understanding the factors that can reduce this kind of microbiome change would be useful information to have — for offsetting the effects of stress on Earth," Vitaterna said in the statement. "Understanding what genetic factors contribute to differences in bacterial strains will be useful for developing countermeasures that can protect your microbiome during stressful periods."
Their findings were published August 9 in the journal Microbiome.

The recent rebound in the price of crude oil — up some 40 percent from the March low — dragged energy stocks higher through the beginning of the month. This, in turn, has powered a rebound in inflation expectations in the fixed-income market, punishing long-term Treasury bond prices and pushing up yields.
As a result, the deflationary danger that many worried about earlier this year seems to have passed. Gasoline is back over $4 a gallon again in California. Corporate earnings look set to rebound. Just like that, all is right in the world again. Whew.
But doubts are growing about the sustainability of the oil rally given still high inventory levels, high U.S. production, and now, reports that the Saudis are ramping up production in a belief they've "won" the showdown with high-cost American shale drillers. (The data suggest otherwise, with production out of the Bakken shale in North Dakota rising in March for the first time this year.)
Analysts at Barclays Capital recently warned clients that the "huge disconnect" between futures market pricing (where everything looks great) and the physical market (where indicators are signaling oversupply) cannot last. Some of the stronger U.S. shale producers have said that at current prices, they are set for double-digit production growth. Goldman Sachs analysts note that oil's rally will ultimately be self-defeating.
Barclays believes that without a rapid improvement in the supply vs. demand fundamentals, current pricing cannot be sustained. They list three reasons to be cautious about this happening: China’s economy still looks fragile, oil supply still exceeds consumption and the oil price recovery may encourage more U.S.-based producers to restart drilling operations.
Goldman believes that some of the buying that came into oil futures was driven by pair trades playing the relative cheapness of crude against the shares of exploration and production companies. Now, the valuation gap has closed, oil stocks are trading at stretched multiples and oil is trading at a premium to its own still-shaky fundamentals.
Goldman’s analysts are looking for crude price weakness in the near-term. The decline is likely to be magnified by the fact that oil speculators are as net long as they were when oil traded near $100 a barrel.
With U.S. production relatively stable, the Goldman team worries about the massive ramp up in Saudi drilling rig counts shown above. To me, it looks like Riyadh is doubling down on its strategy to force a consolidation of the U.S. shale industry by pushing prices back towards their lows. To do this, the Saudis need to flood the market when enough cheap oil to top out storage capacities.
According to Citigroup analysts, stocks in Cushing, Oklahoma — the location of oil futures delivery — are only about 10 million barrels away from the working storage capacity of roughly 70 million barrels. Spare capacity could be tested this autumn, in their view, as the surge of demand from the summer driving season ends and refineries shut down for seasonal maintenance that is likely to be deeper and longer than typical, given short shutdown cycles this winter and spring.
If tanks top out, oil could very well push to fresh lows — complicating the Federal Reserve's planned interest rate hikes, further pulling down corporate earnings and continuing the drag on GDP growth via capital expenditure cuts.
No surprise then that equity traders are already moving. The Energy Select SPDR (XLE) is testing below its 50-day moving average for the first time since early April as key blue-chip stocks in the sector melt lower.
Yet the consensus, for now, seems to be that oil remains range-bound somewhere between $55 and $75 a barrel. There are many justifications for this as well. Oil analyst Phil Verleger, cited in a Reuters story last week, put forward the theory that Energy Information Administration (EIA) data was likely overestimating total U.S. oil production by 1.6 million barrels per day. This could explain why while U.S. production keeps rising, global inventories aren't rising as fast as many expected.
Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research posits that it's also possible that global oil demand has bounced back more strongly than expected and that developing countries like China are stockpiling more oil. He also notes that petroleum inventories have been drifting lower (as is normal this time of year) and that railcar loadings (a proxy for U.S. production) have dropped noticeably over the last few weeks.
Still, he admits that the ratio of global oil demand to global oil supply — based on 12-month averages — continued to fall in April for the 14th month in a row to the lowest level since October 1998, a time when crude oil traded down near $15 a barrel and a gallon of regular gasoline cost about $1.
While we probably won't see those levels ever again, with the Saudis preparing to open the spigots, energy prices at the very least seem poised to retest the lows set earlier this year.

Modern-Day Mission Style: A Home with True Craftsman Character
STORY BY CHRIS HILL PHOTOS BY MATT BROWN
From color schemes to textures, the design and decor of a family room should echo and help fulfill the room’s purpose. And when the Arts & Crafts style meets the demands of a family room, the result is a combination of natural elements, local materials, and local crafts and traditions. In July of 2010, a 1955 Clarence, NY Craftsman Bungalow (pictured) underwent a design transformation complete with a 600-square-foot indoor/outdoor addition making it into a true Arts & Crafts Bungalow.
Together with the expertise of an Interior Designer, they made every effort to preserve the home’s original footprint, while adding practical touches that meet the needs of their lifestyle. The family room is a glimpse into how the Arts & Crafts style is achieved using modern-day products that offer practicality, creativity, and beauty.
Typically, unless it’s been remodeled, a bungalow has two or three bedrooms, one bathroom, an ample living room that flows into the dining room, kitchen, and often a full basement. Some may have a partial second floor for added space. What they lack in size, they more than make up for in charm and character. Whole neighborhoods are now being designated as historic districts and competition to buy these small gems is fierce in many cities. It is not uncommon for today’s bungalow owner to embark on an addition to enlarge a kitchen or add on a family room given the limited square footage of the traditional layout. In July of 2010, the homeowners hired local architect Gerald Shaffer to construct a 600-foot addition of an indoor/outdoor family room and covered porch. Smartly, the plans included a 16-foot ceiling to give the indoor space an air of height above the cozy 13 x 15, 195 square foot floor plan.
The homeowners then visited local merchant Kittinger Gallery on Transit Road in Williamsvilleto help them achieve their passion for an Arts & Crafts style in their new family room. In July of 2010, they met Interior Designer Robert Styles, who determined that the family was looking for low-maintenance, indoor/outdoor living to best maximize their smaller-scale space. One of the many talents Robert brings to his clients is his ability to appreciate the economy of a space--to measure and evaluate the clients, and then determine what sort of use the furniture will endure. The sofa chaise, for instance, was carefully and strategically chosen for its ability to perfectly accommodate the couple after a long day’s work. It is sized for the two to lounge comfortably, and the chaise itself is even reversible depending on the orientation of the TV, fireplace, or focal point of the room. The use of a swivel chair allows conversation with guests in either the kitchen space or the family room. Every piece is chosen for utility and beauty, the Craftsman philosophy alive and at work. “This is a happy room, not a show space,” Robert adds. “The room is about life and living. It’s the couple’s ‘go-to’ room. It is always filled with life, through every season.”
The homestead is nestled on a scenic, wooded 2-acres, overlooking an idyllic stream and frequently visited by a variety of Clarence’s wildlife. Some of the most noteworthy connections to the Arts & Crafts tradition are found on the walls, windows, and floors. Designer Robert Styles used C2 Paint’s color palette to brainstorm and select all of the room’s natural color influences. For colors and textures, Robert was inspired by the natural elements of earth, water, and fire. The earthy-elegant tones are found in the neutrals of the granite countertop, the fresh greens of the Brocade Hemp rug, the bone-colored Hunter Douglas blinds covering Marvin windows, and C2 paint’s Corn Silk-colored ceiling. Elements of water stream in through the navy Harden sofa-chaise, cobalt pendant lights, and homeowner’s cherished collection of Polish Stonewear Pottery in blue danube. Fire-tones blaze on the room’s perimeter walls in C2’s “Bamboozled, and in the gorgeous rich reds of the Candlelight Cabinetry. “The darkest and warmest element of the home is the family room. It is the red heart of the house,” Robert says. He intentionally chose the “Magna View” blinds to allow the family to enjoy an expanded view of their yard through a 4-inch slat. The blinds mount and tilt closed like a standard 2-inch blind, but when tilted open, the slats nest together, doubling your view. And the view from “the heart” is breathtaking. “I wanted to bring the outside in,” he concludes.
Not only do the colors, textures, and materials welcome in the
natural world, the products themselves were all purchased from local merchants. And, many of the products wear an eco-friendly label, giving relevance to the home’s modern Craftsman style. From the eco-friendly, recycled aluminum of the blinds, to the fast-growing, renewable fibers of the 100% Brocade rug, to C2 paint’s low-VOC composition, Robert selected products that would beautify and preserve the natural world that so inspired his design. Details like the proper scale of a sofa chaise, the degree of swivel of a recliner, or the slat width of the window blinds can significantly enhance the quality of everyday life--especially in a family room, a space intended for conversation, relaxation, lounging, and the making of memories together. Robert’s design carries throughout the entire home, keeping consistent the mission-style trends he so successfully captured in the family room. The homeowner’s passion for living a true Craftsman lifestyle has been expressed through this bungalow’s Interior Design. The Arts & Crafts tradition is still THRiVing in Clarence, New York.!
Chris Hill lives in East Amherst with her husband Tom and their three children. Their local company, Evanhill Paint distributes C2 Paint throughout the Western New York region. C2 Paint can be found in beautiful homes around the country and at evanhillpaint.com.

Some days are really hard.
My Love will come home and I share with him the struggles I went through. He gets to hear all the raw emotion and sordid details. Maybe a week later I might sit down with a friend and recall the same experience with less passion. Perhaps a month later I will update a relative on the phone and again talk about that day weeks ago in just basic facts.
With each passing day that overwhelming moment in time gets shorter and shorter. The emotions felt and the memories relayed get foggier and less significant.
Recently I have heard several people share their testimony and it struck me how much life must have been lived in just a single statement relayed. How many tears shed, knees skinned, checks bounced, dinners made, sins revealed, fears felt, forgiveness given, miles driven, hours worked, prayers lifted and years lived all wrapped up in a simple phrase describing a whole season of their life.
"During our marriage, we lived in Germany and California before spending the last seven years in Virginia."
13 years full of all kinds of memories. 13 years of God trying to mold us to look more like him. 13 years of building this family.
It hasn't been easy. Ever. But somehow I find both grief and comfort in knowing that all that we are currently living and walking through will one day just be a few short words in a brief story of our lives. A story God is writing and knows the ending to.
