PyroPhase Receives Patent for New Oil Well Heater

Robust electric heater made from oil well pipe

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 4^th is Independence Day in the United States but July 3^rd is another kind of Independence Day for unconventional oil recovery. On this day patent number 8,210,256 is assigned to PyroPhase for the PyroHeater?, providing a new way of heating heavy oil resources underground. The PyroHeater? can be used to lower viscosity of heavy oil, increase permeability around the well bore, upgrade bitumen underground and as an adjunct to SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage) and other thermal recovery methods. Unconventional oil is the future of the oil industry. According to US Geological Survey there are almost 4 trillion barrels of heavy oil, oil sands and oil shale in North America alone, while the world has less than 1 trillion barrels of known conventional oil remaining.

For decades the holy grail of oil well thermal treatment has been to replicate underground the precision and efficiency of electrical heaters. But traditional heaters use thin resistance wires that are prone to break and corrode in the harsh environment of an oil well. The PyroHeater on the other hand uses oil well casing or production pipe. The electric frequency is chosen so that the inner surface of this pipe becomes the heating element. These pipes have wall thicknesses up to one inch and have been used for a hundred years successfully in oil well conditions. The PyroHeater can operate for years underground and can be reused in another well when its work is done.

The advantages of a downhole heater are numerous: Lowering the viscosity of heavy oil allows it to flow freely into the well. Heating oil sands cracks the bitumen molecules, creates a more valuable product and leaves the carbon as char underground. Heating water underground in deep wells produces steam without the loss of heat involved when steam is injected from the surface. Like a pressure cooker, the steam can be recycled as it condenses, vastly reducing the water consumption and its environmental impact.

PyroPhase is a Delaware corporation with offices In Chicago, IL and Spokane, WA engaged in intellectual property development and licensing. For further information please visit www.pyrophase.com.

Regulation of telomerase in stem cells and cancer cells

ScienceDaily (June 27, 2012) ? Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg have gained important insights for stem cell research which are also applicable to human tumours and could lead to the development of new treatments. As Rolf Kemler's research group discovered, a molecular link exists between the telomerase that determines the length of the telomeres and a signalling pathway known as the Wnt/?-signalling pathway.

Telomeres are the end caps of chromosomes that play a very important role in the stability of the genome. Telomeres in stem cells are long and become shorter during differentiation or with age, but lengthen again in tumour cells.

The Wnt/?-catenin signalling pathway controls numerous processes in embryonic development, such as the formation of the body axis and of organ primordia, and is particularly active in embryonic and adult stem cells. The ?-catenin protein plays a key role in this signalling pathway. The incorrect regulation or mutation of ?-catenin leads to the development of tumours.

Rolf Kemler's research group has now shown that ?-catenin regulates the telomerase gene directly, and has explained the molecular mechanism at work here. Embryonic stem cells with mutated ?-catenin generate more telomerase and have extended telomeres, while cells without ?-catenin have low levels of telomerase and have shortened telomeres.

This regulation mechanism can also be found in human cancer cells. These discoveries could lead to the development of a new approach to the treatment of human tumours.

BCS gets boot in favor of 4-team playoff

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The best way to determine a major college football champion seemed so obvious to so many for so long. Just have a playoff.

Now the people in charge of making that decision are on board, too.

Come 2014, the BCS is out. Playoffs are in.

A committee of university presidents approved a plan Tuesday for a four-team playoff put forward by commissioners of the top football conferences.

For years, the decision-makers had balked at any type of playoff because they said it would diminish the importance of the regular season. If only two teams had a chance to win a championship in the postseason, even one loss could be too many. That made for some high stakes regular-season matchups. As recently as 2008, Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive proposed the type of plan adopted Tuesday, and it was quickly shot down.

Four years later, minds changed.

"It's a great day for college football," BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock said. "As soon as the commissioners realized they could do this and protect the regular season, the light went on for everybody."

The move completes a six-month process for the commissioners, who have been working on a new way to determine a major college football champ after years of griping from fans. The latest configuration is certain to make even more money for the schools than the old system ? and it still won't satisfy everyone. Some will think it's too small and, yes, there are some who liked things just the way they are.

"There were differences of views," Virginia Tech President Charles Steger said. "I think it would be a serious mistake to assume it was a rubber stamp."

Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman was the most notable holdout. He had said that he preferred the status quo or a tweak of the Bowl Championship Series. Perlman said the playoff still wouldn't be his first choice, but he was not going to stand in the way of progress. After the commissioners presented their proposal to the presidents, it took the CEOs about an hour and a half to come to a decision.

"This is the package that was put forth and we will strongly support it," Perlman said.

Instead of simply matching the nation's No. 1 and No. 2 teams in a title game after the regular season, the way the BCS has done since 1998, the new format will create a pair of national semifinals.

The BCS has been a constant target for criticism. Lawmakers have railed against it. A political action committee was formed dedicated to its destruction. The Justice Department looked into whether it broke antitrust laws. Even President Obama said he wanted a playoff.

Now it's a reality.

No. 1 will play No. 4, and No. 2 will play No. 3 on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1. The sites of those games will rotate among six bowls. The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., is guaranteed a spot, and the to-be-determined site of the newly formed bowl created by the SEC and Big 12 is likely to be another, Slive said.

The other current BCS bowls ? the Orange, Sugar and Fiesta ? are not yet guaranteed spots in the rotation, but will get first crack at bidding for them. The Cotton Bowl, played at the $1.1 billion Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, has long wanted to be part of the BCS and will no doubt push to be a part of the rotation, possibly as host to the Big 12-SEC game.

The winners of the semis will advance to the championship on the first Monday in January that is six or more days after the last semifinal. The first "Championship Monday" is set for Jan. 12, 2015.

The site of the title game will move around the way the Super Bowl does, with cities bidding for the right to host.

The teams will be selected by a committee, similar to the way the NCAA basketball tournament field is set. The men's tournament has 68 teams, and 37 at-large bids.

The football committee will have a much tougher task, trying to whittle the field down to four. This season, 125 schools will play at the highest level of college football.

Among the factors the committee will consider is won-loss record, strength of schedule, head-to-head results and whether a team is a conference champion. The selection committee will also play a part in creating matchups for games at the four sites that do not hold a semifinal in a given year.

"I think it's tremendous progress," said Washington State coach Mike Leach, a playoff proponent. "Five years ago there wasn't even dialogue about a playoff. Instead of diving in the water, they dipped their toes in. I think it's' going to be ridiculously exciting and it's going to generate a bunch of money. I wish they dived in."

Leach predicted that the playoff field would eventually grow.

Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez, on the other hand, was happy to keep it small, and wants it to stay that way.

"I may be in the minority. I think we had a pretty good thing going," he said. "If it stays at four I think it will be fine. Think it will be pretty exciting."

No one has put a hard number on it yet, but this new format figures to more than double the TV revenue of the current BCS and Rose Bowl contracts. Those pay out about $155 million annually.

The commissioners want to lock in this format for 12 years with a television partner. The current BCS deal with ESPN runs through the 2013 season. The new format will be presented to potential TV partners in the fall, starting with ESPN.

There are still some details to work out, such as who will be on the committee and how exactly the money will be distributed among the conferences. But everybody in charge is on board.

While lower divisions of college football already have a playoff, the highest level has for decades used bowls and polls to determine its champion. Those days are coming to an end.

"A milestone that's good for college football," Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford called it.

And a long time coming.

Africa militant groups sharing funds, explosives

WASHINGTON?? Three of Africa's largest extremist groups are sharing funds and swapping explosives in what could signal a dangerous escalation of security threats on the continent, according to the commander of the U.S. military's Africa Command.

General Carter Ham said there are indications that Boko Haram, al-Shabab and al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb -- groups that he labeled as the continent's most violent -- are sharing money and explosive materials while training fighters together.

"Each of those three organizations is by itself a dangerous and worrisome threat," Ham said Monday at an African Center for Strategic Studies seminar for senior military and civilian officials from Africa, the United States and Europe.

Report: US expands secret 'shadow war' in Africa

"What really concerns me is the indications that the three organizations are seeking to coordinate and synchronize their efforts," Ham said. "That is a real problem for us and for African security in general."

The United States gave the "foreign terrorist" classification to three of the alleged leaders of the Islamist sect Boko Haram, based in remote northeast Nigeria, on June 20. But it declined to blacklist the entire organization to avoid elevating the group's profile internationally.

Police in Nigeria said members of the group seized a prison there Sunday and freed 40 inmates.

Blasts hit northern Nigeria churches

Islamist militant group al-Shabab is active in war-ravaged Somalia and has been blamed for attacks in Kenya. Last year it claimed responsibility for the death of Somali Interior Minister Abdi Shakur Sheikh Hassan.

Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), an affiliate of al-Qaida based in North Africa, is mainly a criminal organization operating in the Sahel region. It kidnaps Westerners for ransom and aids Africa's drug trade, according to intelligence officials.

'West African Afghanistan'?
U.S. and regional officials fear that a power vacuum in northern Mali following a military coup in March may open an expanded area of operations for Islamist militants. Some western diplomats talk of the country becoming a "West African Afghanistan."

Ham said AQIM was now operating "essentially unconstrained" throughout a large portion of northern Mali, where Islamists have imposed a harsh version of Shariah law.

The group was a threat not only to the countries in the region, but also has "a desire and an intent to attack Americans as well. So that becomes a real problem," Ham said.

Emphasizing that the U.S. military plays mainly a supporting role in Africa, Ham said the United States is providing intelligence and logistical help in the hunt for Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony, whose Lord's Resistance Army is accused of abducting children to use as fighters and hacking off limbs of civilians.

'Big fish' nabbed: Troops capture senior Kony commander

The International Criminal Court in The Hague indicted Kony for crimes against humanity in 2005, and his case hit the headlines in March when a video entitled "Kony 2012" put out by a U.S. activist group and calling for his arrest went viral across the Internet.

Ham said he was confident that Kony would ultimately be apprehended by African troops.

"This is an African-led effort," Ham said. "It is the African Union increasingly taking a leadership role with a little bit of support from the United States military. We think that is the right approach."

One Direction Countersue One Direction

Simon Cowell fights back against U.S. band that says they had the band name first.

Nobody puts the British One Direction in a corner! The boy band's boss, Simon Cowell, is countersuing the American band that filed a suit against the chart-topping Brits back in April.

According to E! News, Cowell is firing back at the U.S. band who sued his band, alleging that they have "continuously and consistently been utilizing the ONE DIRECTION Mark since ODUK made its public debut on the popular British television program 'The X Factor' in the fall of 2010." The U.S. 1D cites that they formed and named themselves One Direction back in 2009, 12 months before the boy band made their debut on the singing competition show. Cowell filed his countersuit on Thursday.

The American band adds they had already filed a trademark for the name when the U.K. band began making the rounds. They have sued Cowell and his label, SyCo, for $1 million in damages. Cowell's team fired back: "[U.S. One Direction] is guilty of fraud, oppression or malice, and by reason thereof, [U.K. One Direction] are, in addition to their actual damages, entitled to recover punitive damages." Their suit furthers that the U.K. 1D has found "unprecedented success and fame in the United States" and "became the first U.K. musical act to have a debut album enter the U.S. Billboard chart at No.1."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cowell and his team claim that the U.S. band knew about his band when they formed, noting that they should check their timeline again. "For example, reference was made to ODUK on Nov. 28, 2010, in postings on the 'OneDirectionUSA' Facebook page (established by Third Party Defendants after the creation of ODUK's own, highly popular Facebook page)," Cowell's suit notes.

The U.S. band's attorney, Peter Ross, spoke to THR, adding, "It looks like we got defendants' attention. This is the response we expected, given who we're up against. An effort is being made to intimidate these young men from California. Our clients believe in their case and will not be deterred."

Shortly after the first suit was filed against ODUK, fans began to weigh in with name suggestions for the floppy-haired fivesome. Such cheeky names as FU1 Direction and 5 UK White Boys made the final cut, per fans.

Better looking birds have more help at home with their chicks

Monday, June 25, 2012

In choosing a mate both males and females rely on visual cues to determine which potential partner will supply the best genes, best nesting site, best territory, and best parenting skills. New research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Frontiers in Zoology shows that male blue tits' (Cyanistes caeruleus) parental behavior is determined by female ornamentation (ultraviolet coloration of the crown), as predicted by the differential allocation hypothesis (DAH).

DAH makes the assumption that aesthetic traits indicate quality and arises from the needs of a parent's current need to ensure current reproductive success and the reproductive success of their offspring. Ornamentation and its maintenance is a cost which reduces energy available for reproduction, but without the ornamentation an individual may not be able to secure a mate. Ornamentation also plays a role in competition between males and between females, as well as signaling potential reproductive success.

But reproductive success does not only depend on the best genes and the best nest, it also depends on parenting skills. Researchers from Konrad Lorenz Institute of Ethology, supported by the "Sparkling-Science" Program, investigated the effect of female ornamentation on the chick-rearing behavior of their mates. Both males and female blue tits have feathers on the top of their heads which reflect UV light. After their chicks had hatched, female blue tits were captured and their crowns smeared with either duck preen gland oil containing UV-blocking chemicals or the oil alone.

Although the UV-blocking chemicals did not alter the behavior of the females, their mates made fewer hunting trips to feed their brood. However the males made the same effort to protect their nest and defend their chicks as males with oil-only treated females.

Dr Matteo Griggio, co-author of this study, commented, "This is the first study to show that male blue tit behavior depends on female ornamentation. Even though our experiment was minimally invasive to avoid partners not being able to recognize each other, the behavior of male blue tits in this study matched the DAH. DAH also predicts that less attractive females should increase their parental investment but we found no compensatory female behavior."

Twitter Basics For Internet Marketers Free Ebook

Twitter Basics For Internet Marketers

There?s no doubting it. You can barely turn on the TV, look in a newspaper or log onto the internet these days without seeing something about Twitter.

As you probably know, Twitter is a social networking website where users post ?tweets? (essentially a short message or ?status update?) about what they are doing at a particular point in time.

A ?tweet? can only be up to 140 characters in length, so the messages are very short ? ie. It is micro-blogging, rather than full length blog posts.

A tweet can be a short message or a message to another user, and it can include words, numbers and even hyperlinks.

Twitter is used by all kinds of people ? from private individuals who use it to keep track of their interests and follow people they know, through to celebrities who use it promote themselves and communicate with fans, and businesses of all sizes ? from small local firms through to global multinational organisations.

When you think about it, it doesn?t really take a genius to work out why Twitter is good for businesses?

Any tool which gives us the ability to communicate with customers is extremely powerful ? and what makes something like Twitter even more so is that it encourages conversations between companies and customers. These conversations are an excellent way of building relationships with customers and can help you to make more money and engage better with your clients.

So ? Twitter is great for business and it?s great for us as internet marketers.

Through Tweets you can post links to your products and websites, keep people up to date with ?what you?re up to? (for example if you?re working on a new product) and it also allows people to see that you are human ? which is very important!

It?s important however that you ?go about? Twitter in the correct way. Social networking provides a great business opportunity but it also provides the potential to damage your business and do harm to your reputation (we?ll talk a little more about that later on.)

In this report I?m going to outline the basics of getting up and running on Twitter and using it to market your online business.

So ? let?s get started?

Are Fancy Goldfish Still Goldfish? - Edd's Home Fish Care - Yes

?
???
??

The simple answer to this is yes.? Goldfish, Carassius auratus auratus,?and their fancy varieties all share the same common ancestry.? Around 1600 years ago when carp were farmed in China, the fish farmers noticed some fish developed gold colouration.? These were then intensly bred to what we have as the common goldfish.? Breeders then?developed different strains of fancy finnage and colourations.

???

????
?
It was?commonly thought that the Crucian Carp, Carassius carassius, was the ancester.? However, recent research has identified that the common ancester is most likely to be the Prussian Carp, Carassius gibelio.

Though within the aquarium, I would regard the common goldfish and the fancy relatives as two different pets.? The common goldfish is commonly known to be a hardy and easy pet to keep (along with the owner responsibily managing the water quality).? However, the fancier versions due to delicate finnage and out of proportion body shapes makes them a much more difficult and fragile?pet to keep.? As with all fish, make sure you have researched them before purchasing.

If you need assistance managing your aquarium please contact me for a service.

Obama, Romney seek advantage on health care ruling

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Their positions are clear.

President Barack Obama ardently defends his federal health care overhaul. Republican challenger Mitt Romney adamantly opposes it. But this coming week, when the Supreme Court rules on the constitutionality of the law, both sides will be scrambling for political gain no matter the outcome.

If the court upholds the law, Obama will get vindication for his signature legislative accomplishment. Romney will have a concrete target for his pledge to repeal it.

If the court rules against part or all of the law, Obama could blame Romney, congressional Republicans and a conservative-leaning court for denying health benefits to millions of people in the United States. Romney could claim victory for his assertion that the government overreached.

Striking down all or part of the law less than five months from Nov. 6 election also could mean much political uncertainty for both campaigns. That could force them to reshape long-held strategies and try to satisfy voter demands for Washington to start anew on fixing a broken health care system.

Just one-third of those questioned back the law, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll this month. But there is overwhelming backing among both supporters and opponents for Congress and the president to find a new remedy if the high court strikes down the 2-year-old law.

Obama, in campaign appearances, promotes the law's more popular elements, such as a provision allowing children to stay on their parents' insurance up to age 26. The administration has also pumped out a steady stream of positive news, including a report this past week that nearly 13 million people would receive health insurance rebates averaging $151 per household.

Romney has emphasized his repeal pledge, a central pillar of his agenda that so far offers voters few other specifics. He released a television ad Friday stressing that the elimination of the health care law will be the top priority in his administration's first 100 days.

"Day One, President Romney moves to repeal Obamacare and attacks the deficit," the narrator says in the ad set to run in Virginia, North Carolina and Iowa.

Obama aides have refused to discuss contingency plans to avoid creating the impression that they are preparing for the court to rule against them.

"We do believe it's constitutional," senior adviser David Plouffe said. "We obviously will be prepared for whatever decision the court renders."

If the court rules in its favor, the administration would press forward with full implementation of the law and use the decision to ward off Republican criticism of the overhaul. The court could strike down the full law or just the most disputed element, that most individuals carry health insurance.

In either case, the president and his aides would try to portray the repeal as detrimental to the well-being of millions of people by highlighting popular aspects of the overhaul that would disappear, including guaranteed coverage for people with existing medical conditions.

In the event of a partial repeal, the administration would move ahead with those parts of the law that do survive and could still put coverage within reach of millions of uninsured people, lay new obligations on insurers and employers, and improve Medicare benefits.

Democrats could try to raise the Supreme Court itself as an election-year issue, casting the court's decision as politically motivated.

Top aides at Romney's Boston headquarters have been working through their potential responses for several weeks. The campaign has sent health care advisers to Capitol Hill in recent days to discuss strategy with Republican lawmakers.

Republicans see political benefits for Romney even if the court sides with the Obama administration.

His repeal refrain could become increasingly attractive to the opponents of the overhaul, and his campaign could make the case that a Romney victory is the next best chance to dismantle a law that's deeply unpopular with millions of people.

That's despite Romney's own support for the "individual mandate" in Massachusetts, where as governor he signed into law a state-based measure that ultimately helped serve as a model for the president's.

Romney struggled at times during the GOP primary campaign to reconcile his past support for the mandate and current pledge to repeal the federal measure. Obama's campaign has yet to capitalize with a general election audience on that apparent contradiction.

Romney may face big challenges even if the court strikes down all or part of the law. Attention would turn quickly to what he would do to help 50 million uninsured people get coverage and bring down the nation's spiraling health care costs.

He has promised to replace the measure with a handful of "common-sense" reforms, but has spent little time so far crafting a comprehensive plan.

"Whether all or part of Obamacare will have to be repealed, that's the first step, and that's the immediate priority," said Romney's domestic policy director, Oren Cass. "His goal will be to repeal anything that's left of Obamacare and actually sit down and identify the challenges we want to address and address them."

The Obama campaign would seize on Romney's opposition to the most popular provisions in the law. For example, Romney would not prevent health care companies from denying coverage to new customers with medical conditions. Nor would he force them to cover young adults on their parents' plans through age 26.

The candidates aren't the only ones working on their responses ahead of the court's ruling.

In a memo to fellow Republicans this past week, House Speaker John Boehner warned against "spiking of the ball" if the court strikes down the law.

GOP lawmakers say they quickly would mobilize repeal votes in the House if the court upholds at least some of the law. Similar congressional repeal attempts have been blocked by the Democratic-controlled Senate, and this renewed effort probably would end up the same way.

A congressional Republican aide said GOP lawmakers would try to replace the law, though those efforts would be slower and may not happen this year. The party's focus would be on controlling costs, not on ensuring coverage for all people, said the aide, who was not authorized to discuss the issue publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Carly Rae Jepsen Featured in Billboard, Shocked by Success

She's been number-one on the Billboard music chart, so it's only nature that Carly Rae Jepsen would now be featured on the cover of Billboard magazine.

In the publication's latest issue, the wildly successful singer - she sings "Call Me Maybe," perhaps you've of it? - opens up about her recent professional journey - from struggling artist... to Justin Bieber record label signee... to top of the music world in a matter of months - and expresses nothing but shock.

“Pretty much every day, there’s a moment where I’m having to pinch myself and think, ‘When did this happen to my life?’” Carly says.

But it doesn't sound like Jepsen has let her tidal wave of fame and fortune go to her head. She adds that she still appreciates the nuances of song writing.

“What I really love about [music] is that, despite all this craziness the creative process remains the same. And that same exciting feeling that I had before anybody knew me, when I was just beginning to work on ‘Call Me Maybe,’ is the same feeling I had today with RedFoo from LMFAO.

"You can sense the people who really have it are about writing that right word or that right melody to make it lift and make you feel that perfect emotion.”

Jepsen has come out with a new song. She teams with Owl City on "Good Time." Take a listen now!

South Florida shoppers reveal their savings strategy

Visiting up to six stores to stock up on fresh food and staples may seem like a waste of time and gas. But many South Florida shoppers are saying the more they shop, the more they save.

In addition to scanning fliers and clipping coupons, hard-core bargain hunters are visiting multiple stores, sniffing out deals to stretch their food dollars.

And with good reason. Grocery bills are skyrocketing, with prices rising nearly 3 percent through May according to June's Consumer Price Index Summary released by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. .

Joan Rosenberg, of Royal Palm Beach, says it does.

"I shop at four to five stores for groceries because I know that I'm going to save 20 to 30 percent easily," she says. "I go wherever the deals are. I check the circulars in the newspaper and get email alerts.

"I have teenagers, and my son can eat a whole week's worth of groceries in a day."

Emilia Boshart, 64, and her husband Joe, 66, of Pompano Beach trek west to visit Costco in Coral Springs and Penn Dutch Food Center in Margate every other week, with additional trips to Publix in between. They make the long drive, they say, because you can't beat the prices.

"I love it. I come for the meats and save about 50 percent," she says, pointing to Penn Dutch's $1.79 per pound price on chicken. "The boneless chicken breast is so cheap, it's worth the drive. I have a cooler in the back of the car for when I make my run. It's worth the time if you have a system."

Planning is the key to keeping gas consumption in check.

Jennifer Perloni, 28, of Coral Springs and her husband plan shopping trips around whatever part of town they are going to visit on other errands.

"The stores are near my daughter's karate school," she says. "Publix and [Doris Italian Market in Coral Springs] are both down the street, so we're not using much gas to go to each store."

She also shops at Sedano's Supermarkets and Broward Meat and Fish, both in North Lauderdale; and Walmart Supercenter near her house.

"At Sedano's two weeks ago, they had split chicken breast on the bone for 99 cents a pound. At Publix, it's usually $3 or $4, so I saved quite a bit," she says. "I bought about 18 pounds of chicken. That will get me through a few weeks."

Penn Dutch sometimes offers chicken breast for $1.49 a pound, Rosenberg says. "My husband works near there in Margate, so I'll ask him to stop in and grab 10 pounds."

In the end, she says, these shopping trips help her pay for other essentials.

"If I save $15 or $20 on groceries, then I can put that in the gas tank," she says.

You can also cut down on road trips by purchasing multiple items of the things you use regularly when they're on sale.

"Buy two too many so you don't have to be forced to buy something at full price," says savings expert Jodi Furman, of Lake Worth. "But stock up rationally, which means not storing hundreds of rolls of toilet paper under you child's bed."

Savings is her job

When Furman isn't shopping, she's writing for LiveFabuLESS.com, her popular shopping and savings blog. Four years ago, she quit her job as a sales and marketing associate for a pharmaceutical company to run the website, which she says gets about 50,000 unique visitors a month.

Base metals trade on negative note Crude Oil gains

Last Updated : June 22, 2012 17:25

European equities are trading on a negative note today on the back of unfavorable economic data from the Germany coupled with rise in risk aversion in the global markets. Asian markets ended on a bearish note and US stock futures are trading in the green.

German Ifo Business Climate declined by 1.6 points to 105.3-mark in June as against previous rise of 106.9-level in May.Spot gold prices increased around 0.2 percent owing to weakness in the US Dollar Index (DX). The yellow metal touched an intra-day high of $1571/oz and hovered around $1568/oz today. In the domestic markets depreciation in the Indian Rupee restricted prices from trading higher. It touched an intraday high of Rs.30,019/10gm and hovered around Rs.29,943/10 gm till 4:30 p.m IST today.

Taking cues from rise in gold prices coupled with weakness in the DX, Spot silver prices traded on a flat note today. However, further upside in silver prices was capped on the back of downside in base metals pack.

The white metal touched an intraday high of $27.04/oz and was trading around $26.84/oz till 4:30pm IST today. On the MCX, Silver July contract gained around 0.1 percent on account of depreciation in the Indian Rupee and hovered around Rs.52,948/kg? after touching an intraday high of Rs.53,190/kg today.

The base metals complex traded on a negative note today on the back of rise in risk aversion in the global markets. However, weakness in the DX restricted sharp fall in prices. Copper the leader of the base metals group declined around 0.6 percent on the back of rise in LME copper inventories along with negative global market sentiments. On the domestic front, prices traded on a flat? note on the back of depreciation in the Indian Rupee and closed at Rs.414/kg till 4:30pm IST today.

Nymex crude oil prices gained around 0.6 percent today on the back of expectations of storm starting to form in the Gulf of Mexico coupled with weakness in the DX. Crude oil prices touched an intra-day high of $79.01/bbl and hovered around $78.69/bbl till 4:30pm IST today. On the domestic bourses, prices gained by 0.1 percent and was trading around Rs.4,523/bbl after touching an intra-day high of Rs.4,538/bbl today.

In today?s session we expect precious metals, base metals and crude oil prices to trade on a negative note tracking bearishness in the global markets. Although US stock futures are trading in the green, we feel that sentiments could reverse as we approach the weekend and uncertainties in global market still persist. There is no economic data from the US today and sentiments would be largely tuned with worries over economic slowdown.
