The committee despatched letters to the CMS and 4 accreditation organizations together with the Joint Commission requesting they supply detailed details about how they accredit hospitals and different amenities.
The committee wrote within the letters that it’s “concerned about the adequacy of CMS’ oversight” of accreditation organizations and the rigor of their survey processes. In addition to the WSJ article, the committee pointed to a 2015 congressional report that discovered accreditation organizations missed 39% of situation degree deficiencies at hospitals that had been subsequently reported by state survey companies in validation surveys.
About 90% of U.S. hospitals—or three,500—are accredited by personal organizations. The WSJ investigation discovered that the Joint Commission, which accredits about 80% of U.S. hospitals, not often pulls its accreditation. In 2014, the Joint Commission revoked accreditation for simply 1% of amenities in 2014.
The committee has asked the organizations to offer copies of hospital functions for Medicare accreditation; copies of efficiency opinions, survey suggestions, corrective motion plans and responses to these plans; and any correspondence with the CMS.
In addition to the CMS and the Joint Commission, the letters had been despatched to the Bureau of Healthcare Facilities Accreditation, the Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality and DNV GL Healthcare.
The Joint Commission plans to reply to the committee’s request, stated Kim McCullough, the fee’s affiliate director of communications, in an e-mail. The probe “is an opportunity to share more on the work we do to improve healthcare quality and patient safety by facilitating high reliability,” she added.
In an interview with Modern Healthcare in December, Joint Commission CEO Dr. Mark Chassin stated the group views denial of accreditation as a “failure.” The fee prefers to work with hospitals to assist them enhance on deficiencies.
The CMS, which is charged with overseeing the accreditation organizations and the state survey companies, has been asked to present copies of the newest contracts with state survey companies that element tasks for the healthcare suppliers to adjust to certification; any correspondence between state surveyor companies and accreditation organizations; and copies of any complaints the CMS has obtained since fiscal 2012 that allege affected person hurt or misconduct in acute-care hospitals in addition to actions the CMS took in response.
A CMS spokesman stated in an e-mail Tuesday afternoon that the company will overview and reply to the committee’s requests.
The letters had been despatched by Reps. Greg Walden (R-Ore.), Gregg Harper (R-Miss.) and Michael Burgess (R-Texas). The organizations and the CMS have till March 23 to reply.

(6p) Electrocatalysis for Sustainable Energy Technologies
- Conference: AIChE Annual Meeting
- Year: 2016
- Proceeding: 2016 AIChE Annual Meeting
- Group: Meet the Faculty Candidate Poster Session – Sponsored by the Education Division
- Time: Sunday, November 13, 2016 - 1:00pm-3:30pm
ELECTROCATALYSIS FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
Drew Higgins, Postdoctoral Fellow, Stanford University
Achieving a sustainable energy economy is among the biggest challenges of the 21st century. Electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices (i.e., batteries, fuel cells, electrolyzers) will be integral components of clean energy infrastructures, as they boast zero emission operation and high theoretical efficiencies. These systems, however, are not currently techno-economically viable at scale, primarily due to electrocatalyst limitations. My research interests lie in the development and device integration of advanced, high performance electrocatalysts. These materials have the potential to address the performance, durability and cost challenges facing many emerging clean electrochemical technologies. The ultimate goal is to transform the landscape of the energy sector by providing cost competitive devices that can be applied in the transportation sector, grid scale energy storage, or industrial applications.
My career goal is to manage a research group at an academic institution that works on the cutting edge of clean energy technologies, particularly with respect to energy transformations and electrocatalysis. In the short term, my research will be focused on two thrust areas: (1) Electrochemical Carbon Dioxide Reduction, an integral process of artificial photosynthesis that converts CO2 directly into fuels or industrial chemicals; and (2) Oxygen Electrocatalysis,the most pertinent and performance limiting processes occurring in fuel cell and electrolyzer devices. I envision early work focusing on the development of new electrocatalyst materials that will be characterized and electrochemically evaluated to understand performance capabilities. The best in class electrocatalysts will be engineered into electrode structures for device performance testing and optimization.
In the long term, my vision is to lead a research program that spans: (1) Fundamental Electrocatlaysis/Surface Science; (2) Electrocatalyst Design and Synthesis; and (3) Electrochemical Device Design, Integration and Prototype Demonstration. These three core areas will be strategically integrated to operate in a feedback loop, whereby new knowledge generated in one area will be applied to achieve advances in other areas. Over time, this research program will be expanded to encompass different thrust areas that are synergistic with those listed above, including hydrogen electrochemistry, new battery chemistries (i.e., metal-air or sodium-ion) and electrochemical purification techniques. The overarching goals of this research program will be two-fold. First, is to develop innovative material solutions and technologies that address the pertinent energy and environmental challenges facing the modern world. Second, is to educate and train the next generation of scientists and engineers that will be lifelong contributors in this sector of increasing global importance. Academic, industrial and government collaborations will be fostered and leveraged to establish an interdisciplinary research environment, and to provide targeted training and avenues for research personnel to enter the workforce.

The tab for tariffs continues to rise, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI) shedding another 3% in its sixth straight losing week, which was highlighted by President Donald Trump’s new threat to impose tariffs on Mexico to deter asylum-seeking migrants from crossing the U.S. border.
Even before this latest salvo in the trade war, the cost to U.S. stock investors has been $5 trillion, according to the calculations of Deutsche Bank strategist Binky Chadha. That’s the U.S. equity returns he figures were forgone in the past 17 months of the trade war. During that span, the S&P 500 index (.SPX) has been basically stuck in a range, which was a break from its 12.5% annual price appreciation since the bull market began in 2009. Those $5 trillion in gains that didn’t materialize equals 12 years of the bilateral merchandise trade deficit with China, Chadha points out.
While Trump famously views the stock market as the report card for his presidency, he’s not gaining much now politically from the tariffs, according to an analysis by Goldman Sachs’ economics team. Trump’s poll numbers aren’t even getting a boost in the key swing states of Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, they find. And while tariffs on Chinese goods are generally more popular than other trade levies, the president’s approval ratings actually tend to improve when trade tensions subside.
But even if the escalation in trade disputes takes a toll on the financial markets and the U.S. economy in the short term, Goldman thinks it would have only a modest impact on next year’s presidential election. What really counts is how the economy, the labor market, and stocks are doing around the second quarter of 2020. So, the bank concludes, Trump might want to wait until later this year to nail down a deal with China for maximum effect.
The new threatened tariffs on goods from Mexico could be a further drag on the economy. While the tariffs will hike some prices, they ultimately are a deflationary tax on consumers, who have to cut back on other stuff. That impact raised the odds of Federal Reserve interest-rate reductions, with at least two cuts of one-quarter percentage point being priced in by the futures market.
Signs of economic worry sent bond yields plunging globally, with the 10-year Treasury yield sliding to 2.139%, the lowest since September 2017 and down more than a full percentage point since its recent high last October. JPMorgan economists think such easing moves to offset the tariff drag would “make abysmal growth attainable” (MAGA, in case you didn’t get it).
To one who has been unnaturally obsessed with the yield curve for more years than I care to admit, the sudden attention garnered by this once-obscure indicator is surprising. But when it lands on page one of the New York Times, attention must be paid.
The Treasury yield curve’s so-called inversion—with the benchmark 10-year note’s yield (2.15%) trading below that of the three-month bill (2.35%)—has spooked the stock market because this flip from the typical configuration historically has been a portent of recession. Indeed, every recession has been preceded by a negatively sloped yield curve. And as longer-term Treasury yields have declined steadily in recent weeks, the disquieting question of “what does the bond market know” has rattled the stock market, leaving the Dow Jones Industrial Average lower for the sixth straight week.
So, it is with no small measure of trepidation that I write what historically have been the four most dangerous words in the chronicles of financial markets: It’s different this time.
That refrain previously was heard repeatedly in the middle of the past decade, when the Treasury yield curve was nearly ruler-flat after the Fed moved up its federal-funds rate target in glacial fashion. Alan Greenspan, then Fed chairman, called the lack of a rise in longer-term yields a “conundrum.” His successor, Ben Bernanke, would continue to raise short-term rates to fight a transitory uptick in inflation, even as the yield curve signaled that price pressures were waning.
Robert Kessler, head of the eponymous firm that manages Treasury portfolios, predicted in a Current Yield column I wrote in September 2006 that the resulting deflationary pressure on housing would force “the Fed to come to the rescue of the financial system” by slashing rates the following year. Bernanke, for his part, would contend in 2007 that the subprime problem was “contained,” a year before the great financial crisis and the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
Notwithstanding the risk of not giving the history of yield-curve warnings their due, when the signals from the real economy are positive and diverge from the dour ones sent by the bond market, it’s typically bullish—not bearish—for the stock market.
That’s what Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at the Leuthold Group, found. Indeed, the bigger the divergence between the upbeat signals from private-sector measures and the downbeat ones in the bond market, the more bullish the outlook for the stock market for the next six months. High consumer confidence and a strong labor market run counter to the yield’s curve’s warning.
To be sure, other astute observers warn against thinking that the yield curve is saying something different this time. Among them is Harley Bassman, who created the MOVE Index, the bond market’s analog of the Cboe Volatility Index, or VIX (.VIX), for stocks, when he headed Merrill Lynch’s mortgage trading in the 1990s. Now retired and penning the Convexity Maven occasional commentary, his latest missive dismisses that “the best and brightest are bleating now ‘it’s different this time.’ ”
Why would “well-heeled investment professionals” effectively buy five-year bonds to be issued in 2024 at yields below the current, risk-free overnight interest rate? Bassman can’t pinpoint the source of a surprise that this variety of an inverted yield curve implies. Still, he’s battening down for some macroeconomic or political disturbance.
Academics, as well, are quick to deride the notion that the yield curve’s signal is different this time, with a paper in the June issue in the NBB Review comparing it to Cassandra’s unheeded warnings of the fall of Troy. After reviewing the history of yield-curve inversions, the authors note that the yield curve’s impact on the economy has decreased since the mid-1980s, after the Volcker Fed killed the previous double-digit inflation. With credible inflation targeting by central banks, bond markets could assume that an uptick in short rates to fight inflation would be short-lived and that long-term yields would remain stable or decline.
The extraordinary monetary measures used since the financial crisis further affected the yield curve as a leading indicator. The so-called term premium—the extra yield that investors demand to hold longer-term bonds—has fallen to an all-time low, as Alexandra Scaggs of Barron’s wrote on Thursday. The relative shortage of safe long-term assets and the increased global demand for them, combined with the large stock of Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities siphoned off the private market by the Fed, may be depressing the term premium and tilting the yield curve negatively.
But when the real, private economy is signaling optimism at the same time the yield curve is screaming a warning, Paulsen finds that it’s actually a buying opportunity for stocks.
Looking back at the history since 1967, he constructed a model to compare consumer confidence with the 10-year Treasury yield. When this “confidence gap” has been in the highest quartile for the period, the subsequent six-month return from the S&P 500 index averaged 14.34%, with a 20.36% probability of a decline. When the gap between consumer confidence and the change in the Treasury yield has been in the lowest quartile, the S&P return has averaged less than half as much, 6.76%, with a much higher chance of a decline, some 38.06%. Paulson’s model now is 93% higher than all other six-month time frames since 1967, which suggests stronger returns ahead.
All of which is a statistical analysis that suggests a corollary to Warren Buffett’s aphorism to be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy. When bond traders on Wall Street are spooked, and consumers on Main Street are confident, Paulsen’s work says to heed the latter. Consumer confidence basically has remained on a high plateau for most of the past two years, reflecting in no small part the strong labor market, as indicated by the historically low level of new claims for unemployment insurance, down at 215,000 in the latest reading. (It’s interesting to note that both the yield curve and jobless claims are components of Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index.)
Bassman, for his part, likes investments that he says have taken a beating from the yield-curve flattening. These include leveraged closed-end funds that invest in mortgage-backed securities and other credit-sensitive assets, municipal bonds, master limited partnerships, real estate investment trusts that invest in mortgage securities, and business-development corporations. Many muni CEFs trade at 10% discounts to their net asset values, he notes. If the Fed lowers rates, as the yield curve implies, these leveraged investments should see dividend increases. If he’s wrong on that score, Bassman says he can lick his wounds while collecting 9% yields (mid-4% range for tax-free muni CEF yields).
The fed-funds futures market on Friday placed two-to-one odds on a cut as early as September, according to the CME FedWatch site, up from about even money a week earlier. A Fed easing would probably lift risk assets, but to take advantage means having cash on hand to pounce on those opportunities. At least short-term investments pay more to wait than bonds.

I can’t imagine finding your person at 18 and 21 but being so bogged down with the expectations and demands of your parents that you are willing to let the love go. Just walk away from it, not fight for it. I think this is part of my hand up on second chance romances. How can you let so many people in your ear and make so many demands on your life? I guess I do get it, sort of.
Love Disregarded does a great job of showing how those pressure and choices can affect you so deeply. This is one of the better second chance romances I have read. Sometimes in this story it is the rich girl dating the bad boy and she bends to family pressure and lets him go, only to have him return and show he was worthwhile all along. Love Disregarded was the different. Aston was the son of a wealthy businessman. He fell in love with Bexley, the girl from the wrong part of town while she worked at the Country Club he belonged to. Aston gives up Bexely allowing his mother’s expectations and his father’s demands to stand between them.
Life moves forward for them. Both Marrying and have children with other people, until a string of events makes Aston realized his life will never have meaning unless he is with Bexley. They battle through their drama to see if they can finally be together. Oh Boy is there drama! So much is against them throwing up roadblocks at every turn.
This was a 4/5 read for me. It was a great story that kept me engaged. I was rooting for them to be able to find their HEA. There was so much noise around them drowning them out. At times it was difficult to stay focused on their story.

Of all currently used therapeutic drugs, about 40-50% are centered on the mechanisms of so-called G-protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs). Here, we use the SBML import function in Wolfram SystemModeler to import a model that describes the behavior of GPCRs and G proteins in a yeast cell.
In the search for novel drug targets, it is important to understand the pathways of GPCRs. The model depicted below has been imported from the BioModels Database using the SBML import function in Wolfram SystemModeler, and it describes the behavior of these receptors in a yeast cell.
A useful feature in the link between Mathematica and SystemModeler is the ability to perform sensitivity analyses of models. This feature is useful in this example if we want to identify which reactions influence the cell response the most.

Migos lead act, Quavo is out with the visuals for his recently released smash sound titled Lamb Talk.
Just last week, Migos member Quavo dropped three new tracks for his fans. Sharing “Lamb Talk, “Workin Me,” and “Bubble Gum,” the Atlanta rapper wanted to make it clear that he’s serious about his solo material. Now he’s giving an extra push to “Lamb Talk” with a suitably lavish video.
As to be expected, the “Lamb Talk” visual features several Lamborghinis on display. Cruising around downtown Atlanta and flaunting his cars in a huge garage, Quavo flexes alongside some of his closest collaborators. If there’s anyone who deserves to stunt this hard, it’s Quavo.


Why Radiohead shaped the future and Gogoyoko will prevail
If my calculations aren’t completely off Gogoyoko – the social music market place – officially launch in Iceland Friday, May 1, hopefully with the rest of the world to follow soon. Along with Radiohead’s revolutionary release of ‘In Rainbows’, Gogoyoko looks like one of the most interesting – and potentially most enduring – alternatives in a music business facing its biggest challenge ever.
When Radiohead (RH) released and gave away ‘In Rainbows’ back in 2007 it proved a couple of things in my opinion. First of all that you can make money by giving away your music, something often stated by Songs I Wish I Had Written label owner Martin J. Thörnkvist on the excellent blog Digital Renaissance. Second, that there’s a new social conscience developing (or has it always been there?) among that online generation and a half who are used to a world where everything can be free.
I do realize that we’re dealing with a band with a massive and dedicated fan base, nevertheless what happened with ‘In Rainbows’ was quite stunning. On the day of its release alone, October 10, 2007, it was downloaded 1.2 million times with users paying an average of four pounds a pop, according to Gigwise.com. On top of that RH ended up selling more than 100.000 copies of the 40 pound deluxe vinyl box set you could pre-order while downloading the digital album plus an unknown number of the consequent regular CD release. You do the math.
This to me proves one basic condition of human nature, digital or medieval: Nobody really wants to be a mooch. I imagine that most diehard RH fans paid because they’re diehard fans, but when you’re offered to grab a service for free – as face to face the internet can be – by the man, woman or band behind it, you will at the very least consider paying something. Like my mate, Lars, who’s got no particularly heartfelt connection to RH and still paid around five pounds for a free album.
Another more recent example are Danish rockers Superfuzz who gave away their latest album and consequently sold, according to themselves, a surprising number of CD’s – proving that you don’t have to be a massive international act to benefit from this model. As long as you have a product worth paying for.
Fan-band relationships pays
It’s all about the band-fan relationship. With the internet artists are no longer out of reach and, more important, no longer immediately associated with big, bad corporate labels – who’s main task in this ongoing online trench war is to change their image. But that’s another post. People now communicate and deal directly with the artists via MySpace, Facebook and other social media services. Like Gogoyoko.
I have no illusions that these services and the Radiohead model can or will put an end to piracy. In fact, it turned out that illegal downloads of ‘In Rainbows’ surpassed the legal on RH’s own website. However, a survey published last week, on the day the people behind The Pirate Bay were sentenced, by the Norwegian School of Management, BI, show that those downloading free and/or illegal music buy ten times as much legal music from pay-sites like iTunes. At least in Norway.
This, along with the suggested new social conscience, have me believe in the RH model and Gogoyoko. Although there’s the difference between the two that the artists can charge what they like instead of having fans pay what they like, Gogoyoko and the artists and labels signing up have every chance of building a strong community around the music that in turn will mean increased sales.
Because we as music fans and consumers will deal directly with the artist and because the people behind the market place not only offer a “groundbreaking revenue split”, but also have embraced Corporate Social Responsibility, supporting various charity and environmental organizations.
Of course this success depends on the service and artist roster provided. The first we won’t be able to check before they launch, but the latter looks very promising when glancing at the artists and labels who have already shown their support and supplied tracks for the temporary player on gogoyoko.com.
And now the 64.000$ question: What do you think?

I am working to move forward in my career, and it’s so easy to be filled with doubt when I see how much my resume is lacking. And it’s not just me saying that. That’s what folks in the industry see as well. It makes meetings a little more intimidating. And it can be hard to feel like you have to explain why they should take a chance on you. I mean… I’ve trained. I have a degree in acting, dang it! I have performed in countless plays since I was 6 years old. I’ve been cast in lots of lead roles. That’s all gotta count for something, right? Well… maybe it doesn’t in their eyes. To them I have a long way to go. And that’s fair.
But it means something to me. It’s my foundation, my background, my life so far. It’s the beginning.
You might look at my resume and call me an amateur – particularly in the world of film. But we all have to start somewhere… Rachel McAdams, Kate Winslet, Jessica Chastain… They all had resumes that read like mine at some point. They figured out how to push through. I will too. Because I’m an artist.
I won’t be afraid to say it anymore. I’m an actor. I’m an artist.

An average snowmobile weighs between 400 and 600 pounds, which is too much for one person to lift. Fortunately, that’s what ramps are for most of the time, but what if you don’t have one? How do you load a snowmobile in the back of a truck without a ramp?
I can teach you the best way to tackle this tricky situation with some DIY and recommend a few out-of-the-box ideas as well.
To load a snowmobile in a truck without a ramp, line it up behind the truck, and switch the parking brake off. Now, lift both skis up and set them on the tailgate. From there, you move to the back and lift that end using the truck to support the weight as you push it the rest of the way in.
Table of Contents
How Do You Load A Snowmobile Into A Truck By Yourself
You traditionally load a snowmobile into a truck bed by yourself using a ramp.
This involves setting up and attaching the ramp, lining up the sled, and driving it inside. However, you have to improvise when you don’t have a ramp.
I will walk you through using a simple snowmobile pivot-lift instead.
There are two versions of the snowmobile lift.
The first is hydraulic and powered, but we’re going to look at the simpler version, which involves a metal grate or reinforced board that tips into your truck when enough weight is put on the tilted-up end.
First, you need a sheet or two of plywood attached solidly together with reinforcements up the length so it can hold the weight of your sled.
This board should be at least as long as your sled, and it needs cutouts so that when it tips into the truck, the wheel wells don’t stop it from sitting flat.
You are essentially using a long piece of reinforced material to make a teeter-totter, but it will have one snowmobile on it instead of two people.
Set your reinforced platform so that it is at an angle where you can safely drive the snowmobile, ensuring that it hooks into the truck bed and remains steady.
Adding handles or holes for handholds at the bottom, the end you set on the ground, can help you lift.
You simply drive the sled onto the pivoting platform and dismount from there. Then you’ll raise the bottom end up and into the truck with your sled already onboard.
Don’t forget to secure the sled with ratcheting straps.
I recommend this video from Power Modz for DIYers who can weld at home.
In the video, they walk through step-by-step and build a complete snowmobile platform with a locking bar to mount on the top of a truck bed.
This method is safer and more secure than a pivot loader but also requires welding skills to build.
Homemade Snowmobile Loading Ramp
I’ve laid out the directions to build a DIY snowmobile ramp below. You can modify the design to fit your truck bed.
If you want a visual demonstration of a similar build, this video by Pierre’s Adventures is almost the same style, though he uses a few different parts for attaching the ramp at the end.
- Gather Materials and Tools – You need two sheets of 3/4 inch plywood with 2-3 2×6’s and 5 2×4’s of the same length or more. You can always cut down the excess, but you can’t make extra appear. You will also need a drill, screws, two heavy-duty hinges, a large rubber mallet to tap things into place, a circular saw, and a measuring tape. It’s also a good idea to get 2 2-foot lengths of heavy-duty chain, 4 eye bolts, and 2 large hooks to secure your ramp in place when you’re done.
- Measure – You need to know how long your truckbed is to put in the 2×6 for the base. You will also need measurements for the width and where to put the cutouts for the wheel wells.
- Lay First Sheet – Place one sheet of plywood inside the truck bed. You should have enough room for your 2x6s on the sides.
- Cut 2×6 – Cut down the 2 2×6 boards to fit inside the truck bed. Lay these along the inside edge of the wheel wells on the narrow side, so they stick up 6 inches.
- Cut 2×4 – You need 3 lengths that are as wide as the truck bed. Start at the front and back and attach to your 2x6s. You want one piece near the cab and two at the end of the inside of your truck bed. Screw these in place.
- Mark and Cut – You must mark the bottom sheet of plywoodat the end of the truck bed. Slide it out and cut off any excess so it can sit inside the truck without overhanging, so the tailgate will close when it is in place.
- Attach Plywood – Now, pull out that fitted plywood sheet and screw it down over the frame you built inside to hold it.
- Build A Smaller Box – Now that you’ve built the big box, you need to use the rest of your 2×6 and some 2×4 plus the remaining piece of that sheet of plywood you cut off to build a second more petite frame that will fit over your tailgate. Attach this to the main box via hinges so it can fold out of the way and sit on top of the first frame when not in use.
- Cut The Other Plywood Sheet and 2 2x4s – As you did with the first one, cut this plywood sheet and 2 2x4s to fit inside the truck bed. Once the snowmobile is in the truck, this ramp will slide under the box platform you’ve already built inside.
- Center and Attach Guides – Using the extra piece of plywood, center it to sit long ways up the middle of the unfinished section of plywood. This will guide you on where to lay the next pair of 2x4s. You will cut down the unused plywood for traction, but first, you need guides on either side. Once you have your 2x4s in place beside the loose section of plywood in the middle, screw them down.
- Cut Remaining Plywood – Cut the remaining plywood into 3-4-inch-wide strips to fit inside your guide boards as traction.
- Place Eyebolts and Chains – You must place the eyebolts and chains on the box inside the truck bed. Attach the other eyebolts so you can hook the chain on either side of your ramp when deployed. You may need to cut out a small space for these to sit inside.
Helpful Tips To Know About How To Load A Snowmobile Into A Truck Without A Ramp
Loading a snowmobile in a truck is one situation where improvisation can help, but only if you think about your technique carefully.
While there are always clever solutions, choosing the wrong, half-formed solution can be dangerous.
Here are some helpful tips to know about how to load a snowmobile onto a truck without a ramp.
- You can load a snowmobile into a truck without a preexisting ramp by building a natural alternative using the snow on the ground. Although it will take some time, and you should pack the snow down carefully, building a snow ramp is simple. The process mainly involves making a pile out of snow and then stomping it down to make it smoother and more compact. Naturally, this works best in areas where you get deeper snowdrifts. However, as a general rule, if there’s enough snow on the ground to ride your snowmobile, then it’s enough to make a snow ramp.
- Another simple way to load a snowmobile into a truck bed without a ramp is to take advantage of other natural features of the land. Some areas have lots of small hills you can use to your advantage to make loading your sled a little easier when you don’t have a ramp. While this won’t work for everyone, it is still wise to look around and see if the solution to your problem is in plain sight.
- Please do not try leaning a sheet of plywood or a couple of unsecured boards against your truck bed. This is a prevalent mistake that has led to many injuries and damage. Poorly made or hastily improvised ramps not only break under pressure, but they can flip and tilt, leaving you with a lot more problems than how to get the sled in the truck bed.
No one should have to load a snowmobile into a truck bed without a ramp. However, there are ways to accomplish this feat if you have to.
Use a pivot lift, or have a friend help you move the sled. Otherwise, I recommend building your own ramp.
You don’t need many tools or skills to learn to create a simple ramp like the one I described in this article.
More importantly, a ramp is usually the safest option for getting a sled into a truck without injuries or damage.

Organizers of a petition to recall Bismarck Mayor Mike Seminary say they have crossed the 2,000 signatures mark.
Under state law the petitioners are required to get 1,898 valid signatures, equivalent to 25 percent of voters in the most recent mayoral race, according to Kevin Glatt, Burleigh County's auditor.
There’s also a possible candidate to run against Seminary — Steve Bakken, who said he is “definitely running” — should the recall happen.
And he’s confident he would be able to get the 300 signatures needed to get on the ballot. The deadline for filing as a challenger in a recall election is 64 days before the date of the recall election.
Paul Maloney, a spokesman for the group who initiated the petition, said they had been aiming for 2,000 signatures to give themselves a buffer but will continue collecting through April 19 to further hedge their bets before delivering the signatures to Bismarck City Administrator Keith Hunke's office.
Hunke will then have 30 days, or until May 19, to confirm whether the signers live within Bismarck city limits and are of legal voting age. If enough signatures are valid, he must call an election within 95 to 105 days, likely putting the special election in late August.
Seminary ran unopposed for his post as mayor in 2014 and his seat is up for re-election in June 2018, giving any potential successor less than a year in office before running for re-election.
You have free articles remaining.
Bakken said he was already planning a run for the mayor’s seat in 2018. And when he initially heard about recall efforts, he thought the mayor should be allowed to finish his term.
“I don’t know the tipping point” for the organizers of the recall petition, according to Bakken, adding arguments convinced him of “the damage that could be caused before (Seminary) finishes his term.”
Bakken said his platform would be one of rebuilding relationships with other government entities and better, more transparent leadership with fiscal accountability to the voters and taxpayers, especially as Bismarck struggles with infrastructure upgrades in a growing city.
“It just got to the point we were tired of waiting,” said Maloney, adding that the management of Dakota Access Pipeline protest activity and its effect on local business owners was what urged many to act.
He said he and others involved with the recall effort are hopeful this will cause “the rest in city hall to open their eyes” and realize there are consequences for what they consider bad leadership.
“Tomorrow’s too late,” Maloney said.
Seminary did not respond to three messages left by the Tribune Thursday.

Washington and London have detailed how Russian-backed hackers have been compromising network devices around the world since 2015. The announcement has come amid heightened tensions between the two countries and Russia.
The US and Britain warned on Monday of a Russian government-sponsored cyber attack against internet network infrastructure around the world.
Britain’s National Cyber Security Centre, the US Department of Homeland Security and the FBI issued a joint statement on the attack, which they said began in 2015 and could have laid the groundwork for further cyber attacks in the future.
What the statement said:
- Hackers backed by the Russian government have exploited “large numbers of” routers and switches around the world since 2015.
- The attack focused on governments, businesses, “critical infrastructure,” and internet service providers. The statement did not identify any victims by name.
- The FBI has “high confidence” that the hackers are using the compromised networks to spy, steal intellectual property, and “potentially lay a foundation for future offensive operations.”
Why say something now? The US and Britain said they wanted to warn organizations they may be affected and call on them to inform authorities if they discover breaches.
No comment from Russia: Moscow has not responded to the statement. It has previously dismissed allegations it was responsible for cyber attacks against the US and other countries, including meddling in the 2016 US presidential election and attacks against the US power grid.
‘Grizzly Steppe’: The US Department of Homeland Security separately said the attack was part of a larger Russian-backed operation called “Grizzly Steppe.”
Ukraine attack: Washington and London blamed Moscow in February for a debilitating 2017 cyber attack against Ukraine called “NotPetya,” which also damaged IT devices worldwide.
Bad relations: Tensions are already strained between the two sides. Russia has heavily criticized the US, UK and France for launching airstrikes against Russia-ally Syria, while Washington and London have accused Moscow of responsibility for a nerve-agent attack against a former Russian double agent in southern England.

We report novel features of potassium deposition on a Si(111)-(2×1) surface as a function of coverage. The binding is ionic even at the saturation coverage without any overlayer metallization. Up to a threshold coverage, the alkali-metal electrons are donated to the empty surface state resulting in a 1D metallic chain. Above this coverage, the conduction-band states are occupied, so that the surface electrons become itinerant leading to the metallization of the substrate and onset of enhanced conductivity. © 1987 The American Physical Society.

Stocks pare losses for the week as volatility plunges.
US stocks extended their relief rally on Friday, stoked by rising oil prices and improving risk sentiment in the wake of the biggest selloff of the year.
The large-cap S&P 500 Index (NYSEARCA:SPY) climbed 0.7% to finish at 2,381.73, with all 11 sectors reporting gains.
Commodity-sensitive shares were dragged higher by rising oil prices after US crude futures crossed $50 a barrel for the first time in a month. Shares of energy and materials companies climbed at least 1.1%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (NYSEARCA:DIA) rose 0.7% to 20,804.84, with all but a few of its blue-chip companies reporting gains.
The technology-driven Nasdaq Composite Index (NYSEARCA:QQQ) advanced 0.5% to settle at 6,083.70.
A measure of implied volatility in US equities declined for a second consecutive day, a sign investors were looking past the recent political drama in Washington .The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) Volatility Index (NYSEARCA:VXX) plunged 17.9% to 12.04, on a scale of 1-100 where 20 represents the historic mean.
The so-called “fear index” spiked more than 46% Wednesday on route to its biggest gain of the year.
In commodities, US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose $1.02 or 2.1%, to $50.37 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, the international futures benchmark, added $1.16, or 2.2%, to $53.67 a barrel.
Crude prices held higher even after Baker Hughes said the number of active oil rigs operating on US soil rose for an eighteenth consecutive week. The active rig count climbed by eight to 720, the energy firm said.
The Final Word: The latest relief rally suggests investors are still optimistic about President Trump’s pro-growth policies. However, political risks are expected to become the norm as the president navigates through a tumultuous first term.

The Eternal Chorus
Psalm 89:1-5 We heard in our Psalm this morning reasons why we sing. We sing because of God’s steadfast love, God’s faithfulness, God’s covenant, God’s wonders. There are songs of lament, as well, songs of the struggles of working to live out lives of faithful witness in the midst of a broken world. In song, we express ourselves and our deepest pains and greatest joys. And when we do, we join our voices with those around the world and even in the heavens who are already singing.
I am reminded of the practice of our Eastern Orthodox sisters and brothers of the “Divine Liturgy,” the name they use to refer to the Eucharistic service. When the faithful gather for the Divine Liturgy, all difference between heaven and earth falls away. Orthodox worship is not simply a taste of the heavenly banquet, or a glimpse of the life to come. The Divine Liturgy is earthly participation in the heavenly glorification that is already happening. As the Psalmist writes of his own song of joy, he gives thanks for the heavens where God’s wonders are praised.
At our best, this is the essence of worship – not a performance of the choir or the preacher for the audience, but rather our whole congregational recognition that our praise is due to God, and that all of our voices join in an eternal chorus of Alleluias to God Most High.
Our Cantata this morning reminds us of that eternal and universal, and yet particular, character of the Church. As we hear “Go, Tell It on the Mountain” and “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands,” we are firmly rooted in this place in this culture. And as we hear of traditions and songs from Austria and Mexico, from Syria and Iraq, we reach our ears and our very selves around the world. In this moment, firmly rooted and reaching out, we can begin to see the outline of the cross itself as our story of salvation continues to unfold.
And if we are firmly rooted, friends, we know that we sing these songs of hope in the midst of a broken world. We sing these songs of the Prince of Peace in the midst of world that is at war. We should not be satisfied with the hope of earthly glimpses of heavenly peace. Rather, we should yearn for peace that models itself on the Divine Liturgy, where the difference between heaven and earth falls away and the peace for which we strive is the eternal peace of heavenly Alleluias. May it be so.

Lions not worried about Calvin Johnson's 2016 cap hit
Star receiver is due a cap hit of $24 million next year, when he's 30 years old
INDIANAPOLIS – This year, it's Ndamukong Suh. Next year, the focus of the Detroit Lions' off-season will be Calvin Johnson.
Johnson, the Lions' superstar receiver, could be in for a new contract next year when he's due a big bump in pay with a salary cap hit of more than $24 million, a number some have deemed unmanageable considering his age (he turns 30 this fall) and injury history.
But Lions general manager Martin Mayhew indicated at the NFL combine today that Johnson remains in the team's long-term plans, next year and for the foreseeable future.
"Calvin's a stud," Mayhew said. "Calvin's a great player. He's a phenomenal player. He has a very bright future and a very bright past. I plan on him being around for a long time. He's a heck of a player."
Johnson topped 1,000 yards receiving last year for the fifth straight season, but he missed three games and was limited in two others by a high ankle sprain.
In 2013, he missed two games with a knee injury and underwent finger and knee surgeries in the off-season.
Mayhew said he's not worried about the toll injuries have taken on Johnson's body or how the Lions, who are trying to negotiate a long-term deal with pending free agent Suh right now, will manage Johnson's escalating salaries.
For now, Johnson's $20.5 million cap number is the biggest on the team.
"This guy, he goes to war," Mayhew said. "He goes to war every week. He gives everything that he has and when you have a guy like that that's one of your highest-paid guys, but he's a great teammate, he's great in the community and he works the way that he works, that's what you want. And then you have other guys in the locker room can aspire to be like him. If they say that they want to get paid what he gets paid, they better be bringing to the table the things that he brings to the table.
"That's how you want your salary structure to be. You want to see a (Matthew) Stafford, a Calvin Johnson, Ndamukong Suh at the top of your pay scale. If you look around the league, that's not always the case. (Some teams have) guys at the top, who may not be great examples for guys in the locker room. Those three guys really are great examples for other players that we have. So couldn't be happier with Calvin. Glad to have the opportunity to witness his career because it's something pretty special."

Top 14 spacecrafts of all time
Since Yuri Gagarin skimmed the upper atmosphere of Earth in 1961 as part of the first manned flight into space, the world has been obsessed with our near, and far, universe.
The technological advances from one mission helped influence the next, helping us go further and deeper into our solar system and beyond.
From Gagarin’s Vostok 1 craft to the Parker Solar Probe on course to flyby the Sun, we’ve rounded up the best spacecraft ever flown.
The mission credited as kickstarting it all, Vostok 1 was the craft that carried the first humans into space.
The launch took place on 12 April 1961 and the Vostok 3KA capsule carried Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on a single orbit around Earth. Gagarin spent 108 minutes in flight before parachuting to the ground, landing around 175 miles from the launch pad in Baikonur.
The successful launch was broadcast on Soviet radio before Gagarin had even landed and it was a major advance in the Space Race between the US and USSR.
No round-up of top spacecraft would be complete without referencing the Apollo mission, and in particular Apollo 11.
The infamous flight, and equally iconic lunar module, represent an important part of human kinds space travel efforts.
And every other spacecraft in this list owes a debt to both the technological and cultural advances of the Apollo success. The landing was so important it was shown live on TV to millions, at a time when television was relatively new, and effectively ended the Space Race, leading to the end of the Cold War between the US and USSR.
International Space Station (ISS)
One of the most iconic and impressive spacecraft to ever leave Earth’s atmosphere is the International Space Station or ISS.
For over two decades it’s been home to astronauts from the US, Europe, Japan and Russia and acts as an orbiting science laboratory where its crew can test various tasks in microgravity and the harsh environments of space.
It not only shows what can be achieved when space agencies work collaboratively, but it has also taught us a wealth of knowledge we’re going to need if we’re ever to explore other planets, and helped us see the Earth in ways never thought imaginable.
Plus its 20-year-old engineering has stood the test of time. It is expected to remain in operation until 2030.
Voyager 1 and 2
Despite its name, Voyager 2 was actually the first of Nasa’s twin Voyager spacecraft to launch into space in the summer of 1977, 16 days before Voyager 1.
Its moniker derives from the fact it would reach the mission’s destinations of Saturn and Jupiter after Voyager 1. After taking some of the first shots of the Earth and Moon together, the Voyager mission arrived at Jupiter in 1979 followed by Saturn the year after and onto Uranus and Neptune.
On Valentine’s Day, 1990, the last images of the mission were captured by Voyager 1 as it orbited 14 billion miles from the Sun. The photos it took make up the only collection that shows Venus, Earth, Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune together.
Some 30 years after NASA landed its Viking craft on the Red Planet in 1971, the European Space Agency launched its own mission to Mars.
In December 2003, the Mars Express successfully entered orbit around the planet and began its scientific studies at the start of 2004. Sadly, it lost contact with its lander, Beagle-2, named after the ship in which Charles Darwin set sail to explore Earth in 1831, shortly after its approach to Mars. The Mars Express is fitted with seven instruments designed to study the planet’s atmosphere and climate, and the mineralogy and geology of the surface.
Like the ISS, Nasa’s Hubble Space Telescope is an iconic spacecraft, having captured the imagination of space lovers for decades.
It became the first astronomical observatory to be placed into orbit around Earth after launching on 24 April 1990 on board the Space Shuttle Discovery and spends its days orbiting the planet capturing incredible shots of space.
Hubble completes 15 orbits per day, 340 miles above Earth’s surface. In its 29 years of service, it has helped unlock secrets of asteroids, captured the most fantastic images of nebulas, snapped the blue hue of Uranus and assisted thousands of astronomers in their scientific studies. You can even see what Hubble is looking at right now on the Space Telescope Live site.
Almost a decade before Rosetta and Philae arrived at 67P, Nasa’s Deep Impact spacecraft crashed into a comet called Tempel 1.
On Independence Day, 2005, the Impactor collided with the comet’s nucleus. Photos taken by the spacecraft showed the impact generating a large and bright dust cloud which blocked the view of the impact crater scientists had hoped to study.
That didn’t make the mission a failure, though. Astronomers were able to determine the comet came from the Uranus and Neptune Oort cloud region of the solar system and it gave them fascinating insight that helped towards the Rosetta mission.
Rosetta and Philae
In 2014, ESA achieved what many had deemed impossible. It landed a tiny spacecraft called Philae on the surface of a comet as it hurtled through space at speeds of up to 84,000mph.
The lander was transported and released by a spacecraft named Rosetta, launched from a site in French Guiana in 2004.
It took ten years to reach its destination, Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, passing through and capturing vast swathes of data about the asteroid belt, before concluding its mission in 2016.
After learning a number of lessons about Jupiter, and how to get there, from the Voyager mission, Nasa sent a dedicated probe called Galileo (after the Italian astronomer) to the gas giant in late 1989.
It took six years to arrive and spent more than eight years orbiting the planet. It suffered antenna damage during this orbit, but was still able to capture images of a comet colliding with Jupiter, as well as discover the first asteroid moon. Nasa deliberately ended the mission by flying Galileo into the Jovian atmosphere in 2003.
Its mission was supposed to last just four years, but in 2017 the Cassini-Hyugens spacecraft dived into Saturn’s atmosphere having spent 13 years studying the planet and its system, and a total of 20 years in space.
The robotic spacecraft carried both NASA’s Cassini probe, and ESA’s Huygens lander which touched down on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, in January 2005. Cassini was the fourth probe to visit Saturn yet the first to enter its orbit.
Once Galileo was safely out of orbit, Nasa turned its attention to its Juno mission. Named after the goddess Juno, the spacecraft developed the technologies taken from its predecessor to launch a second probe to Jupiter in 2011.
It entered Jupiter’s orbit five years after launch, on 5 July 2016. Just a month later it captured images of the planet’s north pole for the first time. Since then, Juno has photographed stunning views from storms in the south to a closeup of the planet’s Great Red Spot. Its onboard instruments are designed to measure Jupiter’s composition, gravity field, magnetic field, and polar magnetosphere. It is also searching for clues about how the planet formed.
Parker Solar Probe
While there have been some incredible “firsts” in our exploration of the universe, one that is getting even the most cynical astronomers excited is the Parker Solar Probe mission. It is humanity’s first attempt at visiting a star and is designed to get up close and personal with our Sun.
At its closest approach to the Sun, the Parker Solar Probe will reach speeds of 430,000 mph and face temperatures of 1,377 C in its bid to solve the 60-year mysteries of how energy and heat move through the solar corona. It will also help us learn more about the science behind solar wind and solar energetic particles. It launched in August 2018 and is expected to complete its mission by 2026.
SpaceX’s Dragon has been in operation for almost a decade and made history in 2012 for becoming the first commercial spacecraft to dock with the International Space Station.
SpaceX has a deal with NASA under the space agency’s Commercial Resupply Services to carry cargo to, and from, the manned station.
SpaceX built the Dragon with a view to it one-day carrying astronauts alongside its cargo but recent tests of the Crew Dragon failed due to an “anomaly”, so further testing is needed.
The James Webb telescope
The James Webb telescope is the most powerful telescope ever launched into space (so far). It’s a fascinating design which includes 18 hexagonal mirror segments made of gold-plated beryllium18 hexagonal mirror segments made of gold-plated beryllium.
Development began all the way back in 1996, but the launch didn’t happen until 2021. That launch was a delicate process too and incredibly careful engineering had to go into the telescope which would not only need to deploy its sails when it got to its destination but also survive extreme cold and extreme heat too.
This telescope is deployed in a solar orbit near the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point, about 1.5 million kilometres (930,000 miles) from Earth.
It’s able to capture more data than Hubble thanks to a design which includes a light-collecting area that’s about six times the size of Hubble’s. Its mission is planned to last for 10 years but it could go on for as many as 20 years capturing essential data about the universe.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME
THE WORLD NEEDS MORE OF TWO THINGS -- PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT PEOPLE AND CREATIVE EXPRESSION.
I remember the exact moment I fell in love with graphic design. At the age of fourteen, I finished designing my first magazine spread. I felt empowered knowing that the way I placed type and images on a blank spread had the ability to affect people - myself included. I spent my time in other classes teaching myself the adobe creative suite, learning how to break and follow grid systems, and always trying to stay one step ahead of what was expected of me. By the time I was 16, I was working with professional clients and produced my own young artists publication.
Now at nearly 22, I've taken all the inspiration through the last 8 years (wow, I feel old) to find my own voice and unique style. I'm motivated by social change and how we as designers have the ability to make a difference in people's lives. I'm motivated to find a way to make all people feel empowered in who they are. I'm motivated in the ability to create change and make an impact, whether it be for businesses or individuals.
I've always known I'm a person that has a lot to say, but I would struggle to find the courage to speak through words. That's where my design identity plays such a vital role. I found a love for creating things that affect people. When words fail, art and design matter. Whether it's a poster, branding, website, installation, or print, I have the ability to meet ambitious and influential people and capture the essence of who they are through design. You get to work one-on-one with a designer who cares about getting to know, and I think that's pretty damn cool.

Looks like you have some Sun-50s there (they all look a like), I have seen those as cheap as $100 each. What kind of charge controller do you have? only a MPPT type will harvest near all the juice that panel will give out, the 50 watts is based on 19 volts so a 12 volt charge controller will only be able to take 35 watts of it until 13.5 volts or full battery charge.johnElarue said:Ok here goes,
Got the 3- 50watt panels installed on the roof. Just waiting on the battery. Then will wire'm up and start making power. I like to think of them as my " solid state generator" , no moving parts. No fuel needed.
Firstly they'll be used for outdoor lighting, then will run some wires into the house. This setup should hopefully provide enough power to light the house in an emergency.
We have "candlenight" once a month for fun, soon we'll add "solarnight"(s)? I'll probably spring for the warm yellow LED's, maybe 5 for the house.
They're 50 watt Chinese, (yeah I know, I know) seem to be of good quality. 2$/watt , but with shipping 4$/watt.xpc said:Looks like you have some Sun-50s there (they all look a like), I have seen those as cheap as $100 each.

Actually funny to hear that, didn't plan on harvesting 100% of course, only 50%. Worse yet, we only get 5hrs of sun, when it is shining!xpcl said:Having your system de-rated from 150 watts to 100 watts without ever turning it on sucks, but every PV cell made will be the same and on average be de-rated by 30%. even those new 315 watt cells will most likely only make 220 watts by the time all the efficiencies are accounted for. Remember they rate these things in a laboratory under ideal conditions that will never be seen outside..
I had it calculated at 375watts/day based on 50% of optimum performance in full sun, so again glad to hear I'm on track.xpc said:A 12 volt battery with a 100 amp@20 hour rating would give you 60 watts total per hour, to keep the DOD (depth of discharge) at 25% or less only use that amount for 5 hours or 300 watts max. You can draw down twice as much with a total of 600 watts but will cut the battery life in half. I always use an insolation of 4 hours so your array will on average produce 400 watts a day based on 12 months year around usage..
I'd rather not go with the expense of DC fixtures, things like that here are very expensive. I also made a 30 watt wind turbine that wouldn't charge a battery, it lasted maybe 3 months.xpc said:Using 12 volt light bulbs would be best, as the cheap car inverters can have an efficiency of only 80%, costing you 2 watts for every 10 watts used. They also tend to have an automatic cutoff set too high and will not allow the full use of the battery. My experiments with a 30 watt pv cell, 15 amp charge controller, 700 watt inverter and a marine battery worked ok for a while but never got the battery up to full charge and it died beyond recharging inside of 6 months...
I originally thought using 13watt CFL's, but then figured the new 3watt LED's would be no problem with the 100watt inverter, inefficiencies and all considered. Being able to run those about 10hrs \day if necc.xpc said:As emergency lighting you should be able to run four 13 watt CFL bulbs for 5 hours on an inverter, so it should do as you plan if you don't count cloudy days.

FSA has strengthened its stress testing regime by introducing a new approach to stress testing. The new approach has three main elements:
- firms' own stress testing;
- FSA testing of specific firms, which it will carry on regularly for specific high-impact firms and otherwise as appropriate; and
- simultaneous system-wide stress testing.
FSA has made new rules on this approach, in the Prudential Requirements (Stress Testing) Instrument 2009. Some rules have immediate effect but firms subject to the new reverse stress testing regime have 12 months to incorporate it into their current stress testing methods. The rules amend the Glossary, SYSC (including introducing a new Chapter 20), GENPRU, BIPRU and INSPRU. FSA is also consulting on its approach to capital planning buffers, including some examples of calculation of buffers and draft new text for BIPRU 2. Capital planning is the next stage in FSA's stress testing improvements and it will recommend scenarios to help firms improve planning in 2010. FSA wants comments on its proposals on capital buffers by 31 March.

I didn’t watch the State of the Onion last night, because I don’t watch TV. I could’ve listened to it on the radio, but I was already in bed by then. Call me an old fuddy-duddy stick-in-the-mud, whatever. Why would I want to hear that crap anyway? To hear those criminals cheer each other and cheer Obomber makes me want to toss my cookies. Oh, well.
So there has been this story of the ex-L.A. cop who allegedly murdered several people including another cop. I have linked to several articles noting the frenzy of the fraidy cats of the various California police agencies. Yes, they are always looking out for themselves, that’s for sure. And a lot of what we’ve been hearing now seems less and less believable, especially now that we are hearing of the media helping the police to cover up their actions, actions which apparently have been to take a vengeful street justice approach in reaction to a “cop killer.”
But these neanderthals are merely taking after their beloved President who opposes due process as well, and believes that government agents such as he, and the police or military, should have the legal authority to murder innocent people who are accused of crimes whether or not the accusations have been proven with evidence presented against the accused.
But the State is in its dying days now, at least here in Amerika. The State is taking itself down in its agents’ rush to gratify their selfish desires at the expense of others, not just in terms of material wealth but in terms of power exercised over their unwitting, weaker or disarmed victims.
Jeffrey Tucker has this article on The Four Signs of a Collapsing State. Among other things, Tucker writes:
Thirty years ago, the police were not militarized, the courts were not clogged to the point of being useless, the jails were not full to capacity, and there was a sense that the system was flawed but essentially workable. That is no longer true.
After 9-11, the state overreached and militarized the entire security system in this country, thereby exposing its essential nature. More and more people are catching on to the reality that the security system is not there to protect us but rather to protect the state itself from us.
As I have mentioned just recently.
While the book Tucker refers to is Hans-Hermann Hoppe’s A Theory of Socialism and Capitalism, I think that THE book to read on how democracies are destined to fail and crash is Hoppe’s Democracy: The God That Failed.

This year has been rough for farmers, but challenging market conditions and lower volumes of seed, grain and fertilizer business have also made profitability a struggle for traditional grain trading and ag input businesses.
March corn is down 1/2 cent per bushel, January soybeans are up 3 cents, and March KC wheat is up 3/4 cent.
Active pressure in cattle futures Wednesday left the market looking for late-week stability. Although losses have done little long-term technical damage at this point, the concern of a changing trend is adding increased anxiety through the complex.
