text: Honda NC700X Wrist: Marc Cook MSRP (2012): $6999 Miles: 10,107 MPG: 57 Mods: SHAD comfort seat Without a doubt, I've been a titch hard on the NC700X in my care. Not as in failing to take care of it or abusing it physically—as though you could abuse a motorcycle mentally—but in the way I've framed its performance capabilities. Bottom line: This is a crossover kind of bike, designed with a few key points in mind, including superb fuel economy, ease of operation, and the ability to take great care with riders fresh from the MSF course. That means it's not a fire-breathing beast, and definitely not something to keep experienced riders jonesing for more. No, it's something else: a fantastic commuter/daily rider. If I seem a bit cranky just after a long trip or a weekend strafe of my favorite backroads, just the opposite is true at the end of my daily commute. I arrive where I'm going at ease, happy to have been conveyed there on a motorcycle instead of cooped up inside a box. (Although with summer here, I'm a bit jealous of air conditioning.) As a transportation piece, the NC has few peers. The laydown engine runs so smoothly and produces such a spread of usable torque that you spend little time managing it. And that's with the manual transmission—had I opted for the Dual-Clutch Transmission autobox, it would be even more twist and go. Even though Honda is ready to close the books on its model year-2012 testbikes out in the wild and so is calling for my NC to come home, I'm going to try one last mod. Reps from the U.S. arm of SHAD got in touch saying they had a new comfort seat set for the NC700X (www.shadusa.com; $399). Barcelona-based SHAD produces seats and luggage for a wide range of bikes, and even makes original-equipment items for several manufacturers, including BMW, Honda, and Triumph. The fine-fitting and softly padded SHAD "comfort seat" has replaced the rock-hard Corbin. Shape and fit are superb, but the jury's out on the stiffness of the foam. The fine-fitting and softly padded SHAD "comfort seat" has replaced the rock-hard Corbin. Shape and fit are superb, but the jury's out on the stiffness of the foam. The company's one seat option for the NC comes with a choice of seam colors (gray or red) but no option for heating. (My timing is perpetually off. Once I got the heated Corbin in place, summer arrived with a sweaty thump.) SHAD's seat is dramatically softer than the Corbin—no surprise since I think the Corbin has a Rockwell number—and is even a bit softer than the stocker. It's a big improvement in that the seating surface has much more grip than the Teflon-like original saddle, and has much less of the forward rake that makes long trips uncomfortable. Right out of the box, the SHAD's fit is right up to OEM standards. Comfortable? Yes, so I can say after a week's worth of commuting. But the stock piece felt fine that way, too, so I'll reserve judgment until I complete my one last long trip on the NC before Honda takes it back. « | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | View Full Article Enjoyed this Post?

A candidate for a Kansas State Board of Education seat wants to make it easier for professionals outside the public school system to become teachers.
Overland Park Republican Steve Roberts argues that state policies place too much emphasis on ensuring that aspiring second-career teachers go back to college over quickly tapping their knowledge of subjects such as math and science.
Roberts is running for the open state board seat for the 2nd District, covering northern and eastern Johnson County. His opponent is Cindy Neighbor, a Shawnee Democrat and former Kansas House member who's served 16 years on the Shawnee Mission school board.
Neighbor contends that Roberts underestimates the need for teachers to understand different teaching methods, classroom management, child development and basic child psychology.

I write about business and technology.
As we know Apple is about to introduce its own mapping application, something similar in type to Google Maps as part of the new iOS6. It will obviously replace Google Maps on Apple's own hardware. Which is a problem for Google:
Apple's expected move to replace Google Maps with its own mapping application is a particularly dramatic example of how the rivalry between the companies has been evolving.
Google has invested huge sums in its mapping technology over the years, and about half of its map traffic now comes from iPhones and iPads. Among other things, the traffic from those devices reveals valuable location data that helps improve the mapping service and provides features like real-time traffic reports.
More to the point, Google charges Apple for having Maps loaded onto that Apple hardware. And as I've noted before, this is a substantial sum: rather more than Google currently makes from Android for example.
The figures also suggest that Apple devices such as the iPhone, which use products such as its Maps as well as Google Search in its Safari browser, generated more than four times as much revenue for Google as its own handsets in the same period.
Google is obviously making changes to its own business practices at the same time:
But beyond Apple, Google has begun to charge developers for API access to Google Maps data, which heretofore has been free for all but the biggest customers, like Apple.
But as and when Apple no longer preloads Google Maps onto the Apple mobile hardware that is going to be a revenue stream that Google will lose.
Time perhaps to start the speculation about when Apple will look for a new search partner?
More power to them. Maps and YouTube are the only Google products I now use- I look forward to having an alternative to Google Maps; now, if they would only stamp-out YouTube, I would be happy.
I'm not one to be an evangelist for Apple, but bravo.
Google SERIOUSLY needs to overhaul it's map applications.
Half the time, it doesn't work, and "Street View" is hilariously outdated.
If I Google Map my house, it's a view from 5 years ago!
I just remains to be seen how well this app works. Since its that important for google to get positioning from their users. Have apple had similar experience with mapping?
Google pays Apple $1B a year for search. They're not going anywhere. And licensing aside, that's not what that play was. They are scared of Google and trying to find any way possible to limit the money they give to Google (through users running searches through maps and directly from Apple itself). That's why they spend 3 years and develop a crummy map system that doesn't include walking or transit directions. "Screw our users so we can screw Google because Larry Page hurt my feelings"
this looks amazingly rocking when two giants compete for the best you must read this http://sevencolourgossips.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/apple-google-fierce-rivalry/
Oh no. Noooope. I use that app every day and the traffic is my favorite part! The Google geo data is the best part. Screw that. I don't want an Apple-made app. It'll just be all pretty and but no work-y.

George Pullman and Ben Field began the commercial manufacture of the Sleepers in 1865. When a Pullman car was attached to the funeral train carrying Abraham Lincoln's body the demand for the sleeping car increased.
As the railroad industry developed, George Pullman established the Pullman Palace Car Company to manufacture railroad cars. Funded by George Pullman at a total cost of $8 million, the town of Pullman, Illinois was built on 3,000 acres west of Lake Calumet in 1880 to provide housing for his company workers. He established a complete town around the company where employees of all income levels could live, shop, and play.
Pullman, Illinois was the site of a vicious labor strike beginning in May 1894. Over the previous nine months, the Pullman factory had reduced its workers' wages but did not lower the cost of living in its houses. Pullman workers joined Eugene Debs's American Railroad Union (ARU) in the spring of 1894 and shut down the factory with a strike on May 11. Management refused to deal with the ARU and the union prompted a nationwide boycott of Pullman cars on June 21. Other groups within the ARU started sympathy strikes on behalf of the Pullman workers in an attempt to paralyze the nation's railroad industry. The U.S. Army was called into the dispute on July 3 and the arrival of the soldiers sparked widespread violence and looting in Pullman and Chicago, Illinois.
The strike unofficially ended four days later when Eugene Debs and other union leaders were jailed. The Pullman factory reopened in August and denied local union leaders an opportunity to return to their jobs.

Then I saw 3rd and long situations and even 4th down situations and the band as well as the crowd were silent. Then I go to the Chronicle and read an article and one of the comments said "I hope the UIL cracks down on Katy's band, its not fair to blow your horn when the other team has the ball"......WHAT??????

Made my first trip of the year to Target Field for last night's game. Of course, everyone knows that the Twins lost (again) to the Blue Jays. Further, the game featured a number of soul-sucking moments: everything from a dropped (or more accurately, unfielded) popup barely 15 feet from home to a number of extra bases being taken on sloppy or inattentive fielding to another 'let's get the suspense over early' spotting of several early runs by the Twins designated starting pitcher.
Nonetheless, I had a great time. Not as great as if the Twins would have won, certainly, but a great time nonetheless.
As I mentioned several times during the evening, what a great place to watch a ballgame! And what a perfect night to do it.
I used to travel for work fairly extensively around the US and when the opportunity arose, I'd try to take in a ballgame at the local yard. I'm sure I haven't seen as many stadiums (stadia?) as some of the dedicated baseball travelers who read and comment on this site. But, I got to a good dozen or so ballparks, including a couple of nice minor league facilities. Often, I had little or no rooting interest in the game. I just wanted to get out and see baseball in the elements - particularly because my favorite team played half of its games in an over-sized plastic living room with a blue tarp in right field and a beige tarp for a roof. We might have defended the old 'Dome against outsiders' complaints, but it was truly 'a face only a lover could mother'.
I recall one particularly lovely evening at Royals Stadium (pre-renovation, pre-renaming - it was truly "Royals Stadium" at that point). I don't even remember who was playing (other than the Royals). It was a perfect night for baseball - warm, cool breeze, shirtsleeve weather - and not a cloud in the sky (SKY!!). I remember that I wished that I could go to see my team play in those kinds of conditions. This was during the 'desert' between Kirby's retirement and the resurgence of recent years. So, the Twins weren't much good then, either.
I finally got my wish last night. Wow.
Yeah, it would have been nice if the hometown team would have won, or looked more competitive, or been higher in the standings, or...
But it was beautiful. And even though we will have to wait for better play on the field - the field on which they played (and the facilities surrounding it) made a night at the ballpark a worthwhile pursuit.
So if you're depressed about the 2012 teams, remember it could be worse. We could have to watch this team play in the Metrodome. (Some of us have.)

HARRISONBURG- The Harrisonburg Fire Department is warning you to watch out for first responders at accident scenes.
Crews say a firefighter almost got hit by a truck early Monday morning while responding to a crash on I-81 in Harrisonburg.
Wanda Willis is in charge of the safety coalition for the fire department. She says this isn't the first time a first responder has been close to getting injured on the scene of an accident.
Willis says these firefighters are trying to keep you safe, so you should try to keep them safe too.
"Slow down and pay attention and stay off your cell phones," said Willis. "You know it's not worth that one second that you may not have your eyes on the road and you go through those lights and hurt somebody, or yourself."
Willis says this incident Monday is now under review. She says it really shook up the first responder who almost got hit.
Now their department will look at the situation and find ways to keep crews safer.

Trustee seeks to sell Evergreen assets
May 8, 2014
By Nicole Montesano
Of the News-Register
Trustee Alfred Giuliano is seeking court approval to sell off nearly all the remaining assets of Evergreen International Airlines and its spinoff, Evergreen Aviation Ground Logistics, for $5 million, to Jet Midwest Group LLC, based in Kansas City.
A hearing has been scheduled for May 15.
However, the United States Trustee, which oversees bankruptcy proceedings in Delaware, is objecting to several provisions in the proposed sale order.
It argues that the provisions "include findings that the record does not support, provide the buyer with protections beyond that provided by section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, and, in some instances, may also implicate jurisdictional issues."
Marana Aerospace in Arizona, has filed objections to the proposed sale on several grounds, arguing that the trustee is trying to sell off property that does not belong to Evergreen, but to Marana, and that, furthermore, Evergreen still owes Marana Aerospace $2 million for services and parking, that remains unpaid.
The first lienholder and Giuliano will take the entire $5 million of the proposed sale, it argues, leaving nothing for any other lienholders, including Marana.
Multnomah County has filed a document with the court saying that Evergreen still owes $4.6 million in back property taxes, and demanding payment out of the sale proceeds.

had on-tap at the brewpub in downtown Billings. served in standard shaker "pint" glass.
a dark copper / amber color in the glass. not a strong aroma, just mild malt. same goes with the taste, it has a mild, balanced taste.
lower carbonation, with an average medium body.
good drinkability, as it would make a good session beer, at a decent price.

A: Pours a dark amber brown color. A one finger beige head forms, but recedes in an instant. Light lace is left behind.
S: Caramel malt and sweet. Light diacetyl not much in the nose.
T: Again, sweet caramel malt. Some light hops as the flavor lingers. The diacetyl character is almost gone.
M/D: A medium body and carbonation. Easy and smooth to drink. I can session this with no problem.
The beer list at the brewpub labels this as a Scottish Ale. It is decent, but not what I would expect for the style. Still, it is worth a try.

Wow, what an amber. Fuller than most, it's got a lot of really great malt flavor to it. It's not overly sweet, there are some slight hops in there balancing it all out. My favorite part is the appearance, it's a bit dark than I would stereotype. Carbonation is good, and I like the drinkability. Not too shabby.

Into a pint glass, poured a really nice amber with golden hues, littel head from service and just a little lacing. Sweet malty aroma, nice but actually a bit faint. Tastes rich and malty as advertised, with a medium body, too lively at first, but carbonation leveled out later, smooth , and a nice complement to my pasta dish, but I wouldn't get too excited about it.

06/20/05- On tap via samplers at the Montana Brewing Co. in Billings, MT.
Presentation- Two samplers poured into 4oz glasses.
Appearance- Orange-amber colored pour with very limited head and no lacing.
Smell- Very limited scent as well. Maybe a bit of sweet malt, but that's about all I could detect.
Taste- Nice mix of hops and sweeter malt. Maybe a woodsy flavor hop.
Mouthfeel- Super smooth and mildly creamy. Medium carbonation and a bit watery.
Drinkability- Right in there with you average amber ale. Worth a try for sure.

[review compiled from notes 10-16-2004]
A clear, dark amber ale; no head or lacing. The smell is a light balance of malt & hops. Strong malty flavor blended quite nicely with the hops. A smooth, malty mouthfeel, slightly bitter. Overall, this reminded me strongly of what a lighter version of Fat Tire would taste like. A good session beer...I wish that a) I had tried more than 4 oz. of it and b) I lived closer to Billings, MT...

The menus logo for this beer displays a bear sitting in a hammock with growler on his belly. Fantastic! The beer is cola colored with a 1 mm head of foam. The beer seems both tart and sweet. I suspect ringwood yeast has been used. An apple favor is present as well as hints of tabacco. An interesting beer and overall quite drinkable.

Gap Foundation Celebrates 35 Years by Honoring 35 Employees Worldwide
For 35 years, Gap, Inc. has been applying innovation into its community investment in order to solve social problems and create new possibilities. Through the Gap Foundation, the company utilizes its assets and, most importantly, its employees to give back to the community. In honor of the dedicated work of their employees volunteering in the community, the Gap Foundation recognized 35 employees out of more than 130,000 around the world whom they identified as innovators, leaders, thinkers, and doers who inspire others. One of these special Gap associates is right in our backyard. Bonnie Shlensky of Deerfield was recognized for her work with College Bound Opportunities (CBO).
For more than 20 years, Shlensky has been a devoted employee at the Gap and a champion of education in her community. Since moving to Deerfield in 1986, she has continuously been involved in PTO and currently serves on the District 113 Board of Education. But it is her work with College Bound Opportunities, a local nonprofit that helps under-resourced students get into college and graduate, that is inspiring her coworkers at the Gap. "My dream is that my work with these students and their families will help them understand that their dreams can become a reality," said Shlensky.
By recognizing these 35 employees, the Gap Foundation hopes to inspire all of their employees to "Be what's possible." As a founding Board Member of CBO, Shlensky sees a direct correlation between this philosophy and the mission of CBO. "Be what's possible is truly the message that CBO has encouraged its students to believe," said Shlensky. "We know that many of our students have the desire to achieve but need a little encouragement, a few resources, and some guidance to get there." Bonnie Shlensky certainly personifies the value of "Be what's possible." Her dedication to education and helping students realize their full potential has earned her praise from the Gap Foundation and within the community. To get involved with CBO, call 847-943-9226 or go to www.cbo4success.org.
About College Bound Opportunities:
College Bound Opportunities (CBO) is a not-for-profit organization centered in the ten communities within Deerfield and Highland Park High School District 113 and Lake Forest Community High School District 115. CBO identifies high-achieving but under-resourced young people who, without support, would likely forgo post secondary education and assists them in applying to and completing college. CBO goals are achieved through a program of one-to-one mentoring between volunteers and scholars. Additional aid provided by CBO includes tutoring, training services, laptop computers, and up to $4,000 per year in financial support. Learn more at http://cbo4success.org.

Get your look at Tuesday's links, after the cut.
If you had told me yesterday that there were people who read and/or watched The Walking Dead and came away from it thinking "you know, we should try eating brains, I bet that is a really good idea," then I would have called you a dope and walked away from that conversation as soon as I could. And yet, the Internet has proven, as it always does, that I am the real dope here. Philadelphia's Dock Street Brewing Co. has created a new beer flavored with brains. Actual brains. Actual, literal, roasted brains.
To be fair, they're goat brains and not human, but I'm not actually sure that makes it a whole lot better. Besides, there's cranberry in this stuff, and that's just gross.
I'm someone who enjoys an adult beverage every now and then, but since I'm also someone whose tastes basically stopped at the age of 12, I tend to really hate the bitter taste of beer. Up to now, I've solved this problem pretty handily by just dumping a pint of ethanol and a bag of Skittles into a blender, but many are the nights where I've been in the throes of delirium, wondering why there isn't a way to get drunk on something that tastes like fruit soda, and that also panders to my love of iconic Japanese pop culture characters.
Thankfully, I now have my answer: Sanrio has licensed an official Hello Kitty beer, currently available in China and Taiwan in four fruity flavors.

Chambliss Won't Run in 2014. Who Will?
Chambliss cites obstruction, not tough primary challenge, as reason for retirement.
Georgia Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who has served in Congress since 1995 and in the Senate since 2003, surprised Washington Friday when he declared he won't seek re-election in 2014.
In the Senate, Chambliss gained a reputation as a conservative who was willing to compromise on fiscal issues in recent years, which may have subjected him to an arduous primary challenge in 2014.
In 2011, Chambliss sought long-term economic common ground as part of the gang of six.
And in 2012, during the fiscal cliff negotiations, he said he cared more about coming to an agreement with Democrats than he did about "a 20-year-old pledge," referring to Grover Norquist's anti-tax pledge.
He eventually voted "yes" for the deal to raise taxes on Americans making more than $450,000 to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff.
[RELATED: Friess Promises to Bankroll 2014 Candidates]
However, Chambliss blamed obstructionism and partisan hostility as reasons why he would retire, not fear of a fight.
"I am proud of my conservative voting record in fulfilling those duties. In 2008, I was honored to receive more votes than any other statewide elected official in the history of Georgia. Lest anyone think this decision is about a primary challenge, I have no doubt that had I decided to be a candidate, I would have won re-election," Chambliss said in a statement. "In these difficult political times, I am fortunate to have actually broadened my support around the state and the nation due to the stances I have taken."
Congressional election expert Kyle Kondik, from the University of Virginia, however, sees it differently.
Kondik says that despite Chambliss' 92.5 lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union, he undoubtedly would have had a bitter re-election on his hands.
[ENJOY: Political Cartoons About the Republican Party]
"I would not call Chambliss moderate," Kondik says. "But the fact that he appeared to be slightly bipartisan poisoned the well for him even though his voting record was very conservative. If the tea party wanted to claim Chambliss's scalp, they could do so credibly."
Echoing other Republicans who have recently left the Senate--including Olympia Snowe of Maine and Jim DeMint of South Carolina--Chambliss painted a bleak picture of Washington in his announcement.
"This is about frustration, both at a lack of leadership from the White House and at the dearth of meaningful action from Congress, especially on issues that are the foundation of our nation's economic health," Chambliss said. "The debt-ceiling debacle of 2011 and the recent fiscal-cliff vote showed Congress at its worst and, sadly, I don't see the legislative gridlock and partisan posturing improving anytime soon."
The question circling around the beltway now is who will fill the seat.
Some Georgia politicos, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, announced they would not run, but current congressmen are not ruling out the opportunity.
[READ: Ahead of 2016, Rubio, Paul Stake out Positions]
The names of Georgia Republican Reps. Tom Price and Phil Gingrey as well as former Georgia Gov. Sonny Purdue, former Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel, and former GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain have all been tossed around.
Club for Growth, a conservative group that supports candidates with pro-business agendas, says it is monitoring the race closely.
"What the United States Senate needs is more Republicans who are willing to stand on principle to cut spending," Club for Growth spokesman Barney Keller says. "The problem with Washington in the last few decades is that Republicans have been willing to grow the size of government just a little bit slower than Democrats otherwise would have."
Democrats announced Friday they will not let the seat go without a fight.
"Georgia will now offer Democrats one of our best pick-up opportunities of the cycle," DSCC executive director Guy Cecil said in a statement. "There are already several reports of the potential for a divisive primary that will push Republicans to the extreme right. Regardless, there's no question that the demographics of the state have changed and Democrats are gaining strength. This will be a top priority."

AVON — The Avon Orioles' bats were swinging Monday night.
Avon notched 17 hits en route to an 8-0 victory against rival Brownsburg in the opening round of Hendricks County Softball Tournament.
The Orioles tallied 13 hits within the first three innings as they built a 6-0 lead.
"It's hard to get a hit every time but it's not hard to put the ball in play every time when you're a varsity player," Avon coach Jenny Shayotovich said. "We've really tried to work on understanding situations and being able to make good decisions at the plate."
After leaving a lot of runners on base in its first slate of games, Avon did a better job managing that aspect against Brownsburg.
"It was nice to see," Shayotovich said. "We've hit the ball fairly well but we've left a lot of runners on, so we've really been working on executing and just focusing on hitting. I thought we did such a better job not leaving runners stranded and doing our job."
The Bulldogs struggled with their cohesion throughout the evening.
"It was a combination tonight of just not having everything working at the same time," Brownsburg coach Alyssa Huffman said. "When we would get a little something going with the bats and our pitchers came out putting us in a good position, we weren't able to back it up defensively. When we had the defense, we couldn't get the offense. Just couldn't get everything firing at the same time."
Senior Taylar Kelso drove in the first run of the game in the first inning for Avon on a single. Seniors Sadie Foster and Lizzy Snodgrass each contributed an RBI in the second inning for a 3-0 Orioles lead.
Avon then doubled their scoring in the third when Cassidy Larkin, Hannah Goddard and Mackenzie Johnston each brought runners in to score.
Brownsburg pitcher Rachel Fiscus took control in the fourth and fifth innings, allowing only two hits as the Bulldogs' defense also did their part.
"It was just confidence," Huffman said. "We have a great team defensively, they all have fantastic skills. It's mental toughness and not trying to do it all at one time."
Carlie Weaver and Natalie Kroll each notched a hit in the fifth and sixth innings respectively, but Brownsburg was unable to capitalize.
In the bottom of the sixth, Kelso brought in a runner and then scored the next play later on a wild pitch.
Snodgrass threw a complete game for the Orioles finishing with eight strikeouts and only allowing three hits.
"She did a great job," Shayotovich said of her hurler. "Right away in the first inning she took command and looked confident. When you hit location and you hit spots it's really easy to be a great pitcher."
After nearly the entire opening week of the Hendricks County Tournament was wiped away because of weather, Monday night's game was a make up game for that tournament.
"I'm not even sure when we'll have to play the next game," Shayotovich said laughing.
Avon and Brownsburg were scheduled to play its Hoosier Crossroads Conference game last night but because of inclement weather the game was postponed to this evening.

COLUMBIA — Flint Holbrook, a 2009 graduate of Clover High School and a 2013 graduate of Oklahoma State University, is the co-founder and CEO of a company called Remember Heroes, that places fresh flower arrangements on the graves of American veterans buried in national cemeteries.
Holbrook, the son of Flint and Beverly Holbrook of Clover, served as president of the S.C. FFA Association in 2008-09 and as president of the student government association at Oklahoma State University in 2012-13.
Holbrook said the company receives orders for fresh flower arrangements from family members or friends of veterans interred in national cemeteries and places them on the grave sites.
The company also provides customers with a virtual visit to the grave by digital photographs of the arrangement on the grave, the grave marker and the cemetery.

Pierce County's long-shot effort to land a new plant to build the high-tech composite wings for Boeing's newest airliner proved futile Tuesday.
The aerospace company announced it will build the wing fabrication plant adjacent to its Everett Paine Field wide-body aircraft assembly plant.
In the end, the difficulty of transporting the 114-foot-long wings, among the longest ever built for an airliner, to the Everett final assembly hall torpedoed Pierce County's chances of seeing the wing factory built on Boeing's Frederickson site.
"I'll give credit for Boeing looking at all of the possibilities," said Pierce County Executive Pat McCarthy. "I believe there proved to be some obstacles to getting the wings transported by rail to the Port of Tacoma where they would be sent by water to Everett, and moving them by truck wasn't feasible."
McCarthy and her economic development team met twice with Boeing officials -- the last time just two weeks ago -- to discuss how Boeing's Frederickson plant could play a role in building the updated plane.
Boeing announced its decision to build the wing plant in Everett Tuesday morning ending weeks of speculation about where the structure -- reportedly about a million square feet in area -- would be sited.
"Locating the new composite wing center in Everett is a win for all of our teammates and partners," said Boeing Commercial Airplanes President & CEO Ray Conner. "This will put our workforce on the cutting edge of composite technology and allow us to build on the infrastructure and logistics system we have in Everett. This decision will strengthen the company's competitiveness and help it grow for the long term."
The wing plant is important for several reasons. Boeing has said it will employ up to 2,700 workers and that its construction could cost up to $1 billion.
The decision to build the 777X's composite wing in Everett is also a positive for the future of aircraft manufacturing technology both in Washington and the United States.
Boeing builds its composite wing for its 787 Dreamliner model aircraft in Japan. Economic development officials had worried that the U.S. would lose any advantage in composite construction it possessed if the next composite was built overseas.
Until the 787, airliner wings were built of aluminum and other metals. But composites represent the future of aircraft construction because of their strength and light weight.
The win for Everett came at a high price for the state and for Boeing workers. In order to win final assembly of the 777X and wing construction, the Legislature approved $9 billion in tax breaks for the aerospace industry, and Boeing union machinists endorsed a 10-year labor agreement that froze defined benefit pensions and cut back on traditional raises.
That labor agreement was rejected in the first vote and narrowly approved in a controversial second vote by union members.
Boeing had said it would build the plane and the wing elsewhere unless union members agreed to the leaner new contract.
Pierce County had promoted building the wings in Frederickson because Boeing already has a plant there building composite tails for the 777 and 787, because Toray Composites makes the basic raw material for composite structures at a plant in Frederickson and because Boeing has ample land for expansion on that site.
County Executive McCarthy said Boeing officials have assured her that despite the decision to build the wings in Everett, the Frederickson plant and its 1,800 workers have a bright future with Boeing.
"We will certainly maintain our workforce and even grow at Frederickson," she said.
Boeing said it plans to build the wing plant north of the existing wide-bodied plant at Paine Field. The exact site has yet to be determined. Construction on that plant is expected to begin later this year.
Boeing has already booked billions of dollars in orders for the 777X. That plane will be equipped not only with new wings but also new engines and a stretched fuselage to make it perhaps the most fuel-efficient plane on a seat-mile basis in the world.
The first 777X is due to enter commercial service in late 2019 or early 2020.

The Science Museum takes full advantage of it's wonderful location on the river. Guests enter on the top floor, which is actually at street level in downtown St. Paul, and from there the galleries extend downwards towards the river. A large, light-filled atrium in the center of the museum displays dinosaur skeletons and scientifically inspired artworks against the river view.
Galleries on three floors exhibit the museum's large paleontology, anthropology, and natural history collections, and many interactive displays demonstrate mathematical, electrical, light and weather phenomena.
Permanent Collections
Mississippi River Gallery The Science Museum pays tribute to the mighty Mississippi in the first gallery. Exhibits include a diorama of Mississippi flora and fauna, the original marker from the source of the Mississippi at Lake Itasca, Minnesota, and a real river tugboat perched on the roof.
Dinosaurs The dinosaur gallery is hugely popular. The Science Museum has one of the largest paleontology collections in the world, with a roll-call of all the famous dinosaurs: Diplodocus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus and more. Fossils range from mighty to microscopic, beautiful to... well, dinosaur poop.
Electricity and Light This section does an admirable job of turning a rather unexciting area of science into something interesting with elegant displays and instruments demonstrating electromagnetic phenomena.
Weather In this hands-on gallery, ingenious machines make clouds, simulate weather fronts, sand dunes, tornados, waves, and more.
Collections Gallery This gallery could be a whole museum in itself. There's animals from the upper Midwest, plus one gorilla, an ex-resident of Como Zoo. Anthropology exhibits include a Hmong house, and there's a selection of questionable medical devices.
The Human Body Gallery This galley explores how our bodies work. Blood flow, cell biology, disease, and DNA are explained with super-sized models and hands-on activities.
The Big Back Yard Open seasonally, the Big Back Yard garden has a science-themed mini golf course, a maze, water tables, and a stream for visitors to pan for gemstones and fossils.
The Omnitheater
The Omnitheater - the Imax Convertible Dome Omnitheater to be exact - shows incredible educational films inspired by the natural world on a giant screen. The films change every couple of months, and there is usually a couple to choose from at any one time.
There is a charge for Omnitheater shows. Admission to the Omnitheater is separate to general museum admission, it is not necessary to visit the museum to see an Omnitheater show.
Special Exhibitions at the Science Museum
Usually two major travelling exhibitions are on show at the museum, making repeat trips very worthwhile. Entrance to the special exhibitions is usually included in the price of admission.
Special Events at the Science Museum
The museum has weekly senior days and pre-schooler days. There are also frequent lectures, classes and special events.
Visiting the Science Museum
Who would enjoy the Science Museum of Minnesota?
Children as young as two enjoy seeing the dinosaurs, and pressing all the buttons. As for actually appreciating the science, the displays are aimed at children six and up. Many exhibits have higher-level concepts geared for teenagers and older students.
The Omnitheater shows are usually suitable for all ages, except the very young.

The entrance to the Science Museum's parking ramp is at the level of the river, and not-at-all obvious how to get to it. There's a couple of other parking ramps on Kellogg Boulevard right next to the museum, but they are not for museum guests. Follow the directions for Science Museum Parking at the museum's website. There is a charge for parking, ask for a parking coupon at the admissions desk.
Public Transportation
The nearest bus routes to the Museum pass through downtown St. Paul, two or three blocks to the north or east.
Food at the Science Museum
There are three cafes at the museum. There's a Caribou coffee shop in the lobby, the Chomp kid-friendly eatery in the dinosaur gallery, and the Elements Café on the top floor with the best view of the Mississippi in town.
There are picnic tables in the Big Back Yard.
Shopping at the Science Museum
A well-stocked store in the lobby sells scientific-themed gifts, toys, mini-experiments, Minnesota souvenirs, and Science Museum merchandise.The Science Museum of Minnesota's Website

These were nice, but 2 Tbsp of olive oil is way too much, I used only 1/2 Tbsp. I also roasted at 450 degrees for 40 minutes because this way it gets crunchy and not soft in the middle.

I've made these before so I knew what to expect and how to bake them properly. I baked these dry ON FOIL, until the last ten minutes, took them out and dumped them in a bowl and drizzled the EVOO over the hot chickpeas, then sprinkled with the spices and a little nutritional yeast over the top of the chickpeas, which gives it a little parmesan-cheesy kind of flavor which rocked with the spices that this recipe called for. I then baked them the remaining ten minutes. I took another reviewer's advice and baked them at 400* for 40 minutes and that was spot on. Perfectly crispy. I did give them a good shake with the pancake turner every ten minutes, like I do with the oyster cracker snacks, so they would cook evenly. I've completely cut out all processed snack foods and this was perfect for "that time of the month" when you need to have something salty but you don't want to rack up calories. And you know....my kids LOVED these! They almost remind me of Corn Nuts! EDITED: I highly recommend using organic chickpeas if you can. I've used store brand in this recipe and for me, it's just not as good. Also, be sure you drain your chickpeas VERY well. That affects the crispiness quite a bit.
I make these all the time. I usually toss the chickpeas with just olive oil, salt, and some crushed rosemary. Any seasoning you like will do. For those who didn't like the texture- they are best when they are VERY crunchy (not slightly crunchy) and practically popping off of the baking sheet. They come out like corn nuts.

With all the attention the rookie class of quarterbacks is getting, one rookie signalcaller, who might have the strongest arm of the group, continues to quietly go about his business in New England.
You haven't heard much about Ryan Mallett, the Patriots' third-round pick.
"Certainly from a mechanics standpoint, from a physical standpoint, I think he's made a lot of improvements," Bill Belichick said the week before the team's Week 12 game. He added that Mallett also has spent a lot of time in the weight room. On the field, Mallett practices against the Patriots' starting defense. "Mallett has made some impressive throws in practice," Belichick said.
The way we hear it, Mallett has been humbled by the opportunity in his rookie season to take in the system, and that he is happy to sacrifice his first year to learn. Mallett entered the draft with "immense upside," according to PFW draft analyst Nolan Nawrocki, but would be "best served waiting in the wings under the thumb of a patient coach," which is exactly how Mallett is spending his first year in the NFL.

Stop Talking About Hillary Clinton's Hair
The secretary of state is one of the most fascinating people of 2012, and not because of her hair.
In 1991, when Bill Clinton was first heading up to New Hampshire to appeal to Granite State primary voters, it was the black headband. Then, after Clinton won, it was the battle of the chignon and the short 'do. And now, it's the question of whether a longer hairstyle is right for a woman in her 60s.
Hillary Clinton is secretary of state. She has logged nearly a million air miles trying to ease tensions in the Middle East, promote women's rights abroad, and soothe hard feelings after embarrassing information surfaced in the Wikileaks episode. She made an impressive and nearly successful run for the Democratic nomination for president in 2008, and a lot of people are hoping she'll try again in 2016. Never mind being one of the smartest and hardest-working women in government. She's one of the smartest and hardest-working people in government.
[ See a collection of political cartoons on Congress.]
Can we stop, already, then, with comments about her hair?
It's distressing when anyone belittles a female politician or other leader by commenting on her looks or her grooming—and this goes as well for former Gov. Sarah Palin and Rep. Michele Bachmann, whose stunning good looks seemed too much of a distraction for a lot of the media. It's even more offensive when the subject of the evaluation is one of the stars of the administration, and when the perpetrator is another woman.
[ See Photos: The Many Hairstyles of Hillary Clinton.]
Barbara Walters named Secretary Clinton as one of the "most fascinating" people of the year, and of course asked about her job and future political ambitions. Was it really necessary to ask about her hair? Walters did, and Clinton, good-humoredly, responded:
It's fascinating to me how people are so curious about it. Because after a while, it just got to be really burdensome to try to find a hairdresser in some city, somewhere, oftentimes not being able to speak English, that at least I could communicate with. So, I said enough, we're just going to try to go with as simple as possible.
[ Take the U.S. News Poll: Should Hillary Take the Fall for the Benghazi Attack?]
Well, good that we got that burning question resolved.
It's not that men are never questioned about their appearances. Walters also needled New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie about his weight. Presidents are periodically reported to have gone grayer during their terms. But those remarks are reflective of issues of health and stress, not of their roles as men. Remarks about a woman's hair are fundamentally comments about how she manages the job she has with her other job—that of being a woman, and being not only attractive, but age-appropriate attractive. In Palin and Bachmann's case, their relative youth and good looks seemed to be at odds with their suitability for higher office—all the more offensive, since there were good, solid reasons to question their suitability for higher office on more substantive grounds. And when a woman is older, she's expected to defeminize herself, as though there were something obscene about a woman past her child-bearing years showing any femininity at all. Long hair is feminine, and Clinton seems to have ruffled some sensibilities by not keeping it chin-length or shorter to suit someone else's idea of what a 60-something woman should look like.
Clinton is indeed one of the most fascinating people of 2012, and it would be even more fascinating to watch her run for president in 2016. And if she does, here's hoping she wears her hair down her back.

Anderson University will celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day by connecting with a city-wide celebration and hosting Rev. Lawrence Haygood from Tuskegee, Ala., whose many accomplishments include participating in civil rights programs with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The Anderson city-wide celebration will take place on Monday, January 17, at the Paramount Theatre at 12 noon. The event, entitled "Let Freedom Ring Through Unity," will feature Rev. Louis Jackson as the choir director from United Church in Christ in Anderson. The AU campus will welcome Rev. Obadiah Smith, the Coordinator of Compassionate Ministries and Homeland Missions Liaison for Church of God Ministries, as the guest speaker during chapel/convocation on Tuesday, January 18, at 10 a.m. Both events are free and open to the public.
During AU's chapel/convocation in Reardon Auditorium on Tuesday, students will see a re-creation of the march on Washington D.C. where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech on August 28, 1963. Talk back sessions will be held directly following chapel, which will feature video clips and discussion entitled, "In His Own Words." The sessions will be held in the Olt Student Center, Edwards dining room, at 11 a.m. and 12 noon.
Rev. Obadiah Smith is a Chaplain in the Unites States Air Force Reserves as a Captain. He is an elder at Sherman Street Church of God in Anderson, Ind. He and his wife have two children. He earned a Bachelor's in Sociology from Azusa Pacific University in 1981, a Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary in 1988, and a Master of Business Administration from the Falls School of Business in 2004.
Rev. Haygood graduated cum laude from Stillman College in 1955 with a degree in English and was the first African-American to be taught at Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Va., where he graduated with a Masters in Divinity. He served as a pastor with congregations in Norfolk, Va., Memphis, Tenn. and Tuskegee, Ala. While in Memphis, Tenn., he marched for civil rights and participated in civil rights programs with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He gave organizational speeches to the garbage workers of Memphis, Tenn. and also led marches to desegregate churches in Montgomery and Tuskegee, Ala. He and his late wife, Bennie, have three children.
Established in 1986 by former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday honors the life and contributions of America's greatest champion of racial justice and equality, the leader who not only dreamed of a color-blind society, but who also lead a movement that achieved historic reforms to help make it a reality. The King Holiday celebrates Dr. King's global vision of the world house, a world whose people and nations had triumphed over poverty, racism, war and violence. The holiday celebrates his vision of ecumenical solidarity, his insistence that all faiths had something meaningful to contribute to building the beloved community.
Anderson University is a private, four-year, Christian liberal arts institution of approximately 2,700 undergraduate and graduate students. Established in 1917 by the Church of God, the university offers more than 60 undergraduate majors and graduate programs in business, education, theology and nursing.

Need a quick primer? Greg gives a rundown.
.VMDK: These files are the actual hard disk of the VM itself, and tend to be the largest file within the folder. You can consider the size of these files to be roughly equivalent to the size of either the disk itself, if you've chosen to use pre-allocated disks; or the size of the data currently stored on that disk, if you use "growable" disks.
.NVRAM: Consider this file the BIOS of the VM.
.VMX: With typically one .VMX file per folder, this file holds the configuration information for the VM in a text format. Unlike almost all the other files you'll see, .VMX files can be edited using any text-editing program, a process that's actually required for some functionality that's not exposed in the GUI.
.VMXF: This file, in XML format, includes additional information about the VM if it has been added to a team. If a machine has been added to a team and then later removed, this file remains resident. This file can also be opened and read in a text editor.
.VMTM: For VMs actively participating in a team, this file stores information about that team membership.
.VMEM: These files, which contain a backup of the VM's paging file, are typically very small or nonexistent when the VM is powered off, but grow immediately to the size of configured RAM when the machine is powered on.
.VMSN and .VMSD: When snapshots are created for a VM, these files are created to host the state of the VM. The .VMSN file stores the running state of the machine: what you could consider the "delta" between the .VMDK at the point of the snapshot and what has been processed up until the present time. The .VMSD stores information and metadata about the snapshot itself.
.VMSS: If you've suspended the state of your machine, this file contains the suspended state of that machine. These files typically appear only when VMs have been suspended.
Depending on the VMware product you use or the platform upon which it resides, these files may be slightly different.
However, these files are mostly the same across all versions of VMware's products.
