EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier says he is hopeful he will have defensive tackle Kevin Williams back from a knee injury in time for the season opener at Detroit.
Williams was injured on a low block in a game against San Francisco on Sunday night. The team says Williams has a significantly bruised and hyperextended right knee.
Frazier says Williams is listed as day to day and the team will monitor his progress as the opener against the Lions on Sept. 8 approaches. Frazier says he has spoken to NFL officials about the hit by Joe Looney.
Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway calls the hit "really quite ridiculous." He says the NFL needs to hold offensive players accountable at the same level they do players on defence.
Take a look at the best available players heading into free agency March 11.

Missouri All-American Michael Sam says he is gay, and the defensive end could become the first openly homosexual player in the NFL.

Still Without Power
By Angela Hatton
Murray, KY – Many rural homes in Western Kentucky are still without electricity after Sunday's wind storms. Jackson Purchase Rural Electric had just under a thousand people without power this morning and officials expect to be up and running by tonight. West Kentucky Rural Electric Member Services Spokesman Kevin English says around five thousand of the company's thirty-six thousand customers remain without electricity. "We have got all of our crews working around the clock. Plus we have crews coming in from other areas. We have some from South Kentucky Rural Electric Coop. And also down and around Cookville Tennessee we have some crews coming in. Also Murray Electric System has given us some help from their crews." English expects most of the system to be back online by Thursday, but says a few will remain without power through the weekend. WKRECC has customers in Graves, Carlisle, Marshall, and Calloway counties.

2 editions published in 2003 in English and held by 300 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "For centuries Texas has been a musical and cultural crossroads, and the Handbook of Texas Music carefully documents the complex convergence of numerous musical and cultural traditions in this state where east meets west, southern plantations meet high plains ranches, and where an ethnically diverse American culture shares an international border with Mexico. The music of American Indians, Anglo-Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans, and numerous immigrant groups - Germans, Czechs, Cajuns, among many others - was brought to Texas from every direction. These groups crossed paths, and for centuries have been swapping songs and styles ranging from ancient fiddle tunes to lively polkas and boogie-woogie piano stomps."

by Stephen B Oates
3 editions published in 1968 in English and held by 290 WorldCat member libraries worldwide This book appears in May, 1968, in the year of the Southwest's first world fair - the HemisFair in San Antonio. San Antonio, situated as it is at a confluence of cultures, in many ways represents Texas as completely as any city in the state. It was a seat of government when Spain controlled Texas; it remained a seat of government when Mexico took over. Both Texas and Mexican armies fought over it; each won, and each lost the city. At the time of independence it was Texas's largest city, almost totally Mexican in population; and in San Antonio, or Bejar, the Alamo was besieged until it became a symbol for heroic resistance

Almonte's Texas : Juan N. Almonte's 1834 inspection, secret report, and role in the 1836 campaign
by Juan Nepomuceno Almonte
4 editions published in 2003 in English and held by 219 WorldCat member libraries worldwide In late 1833 Mexico began to have serious fears that its northeastern territory in Texas would be lost to North American colonists. To determine the actual state of affairs, Mexico sent Col. Juan N. Almonte to Texas on an inspection -- the last conducted by a high-ranking Mexican official before revolution separated Texas from Mexico. Upon his return to the Mexican capital in November 1834, Almonte wrote a secret report of the measures necessary to avoid the loss of Texas -- a report that has been unknown to scholars or the general public. Here it is presented in English for the first time, along with more than fifty letters that Almonte wrote during his inspection. This documentation offers crucial new insights on Texas affairs and will change the way historians regard Mexico's attitudes toward the foreign colonists and their revolution of 1835-1836. When Santa Anna marched an army north to crush the Texas rebellion, Almonte was by his side as a special adviser. He kept a journal, lost at the Battle of San Jacinto, which is presented here with full annotation. Almonte's role in the 1836 campaign is examined, as well as his subsequent activities that relate to Texas. Through Almonte's Texas we gain an overdue appreciation of this man who played a leading role in the history of Texas and Mexico. As James E. Crisp said in his review of this work: "This is a fascinating, revelatory, and highly satisfying book for anyone interested in the real meat of the story of the Texas Revolution -- in all its political, military and diplomatic dimensions. The editors have put Almonte in the center of this story of Texas in the 1830s and 40s, and that's exactly where he belongs. Bravo!" more

Dr Gill Lowe is a haematology specialist and is a clinical research fellow in the Birmingham Platelet Group. She helps to run the patient recruitment and make sure the study has ethical approval at all of our centres. She also tests patient's platelets when samples arrive in the lab and compiles reports for the referring doctors.
Professor Steve Watson is a British Heart Foundation Professor in Cardiovascular Sciences and Cellular Pharmacology. He is head of the Birmingham Platelet Group and Chief Investigator on the GAPP project
Dr Neil Morgan is a lecturer in Cardiovascular Genetics. His current research is focussing on the molecular genetics of patients with platelet bleeding disorders and low platelet counts (thrombocytopaenia). The identification of novel gene defects would provide clues to genes and proteins involved in normal platelet physiology and ultimately lead to devising new treatment strategies to minimise the risk of bleeding in such patients
Gayle Halford is a research administrator in the Birmingham Platelet Group. She helps with the day to day running of GAPP including ethics applications, correspondence with the clinical research network, organising patient appointments and answering queries.
Rachael Taylor is a research associate and PhD student working on GAPP in Birmingham. She recently moved to join the group, and previously worked on a clinical research project in Manchester looking at patients with vascular disease. She will be involved in patient recruitment and testing within GAPP.
Dr Marie Lordkipanidzé is a pharmacist with a background in cardiovascular research. Her major research interest is to individualise therapy based on each patient's specific needs, by bringing together powerful tools investigating the behaviour of platelets and the genetic makeup of each individual to determine the best antiplatelet drugs for each patient.
Andrew Mumford is the Reader in Haematology at the University of Bristol and director of the Bristol haemophilia comprehensive care centre. Dr Mumford's GAPP study laboratory contributes to deep phenotyping study participants and development of next generation sequencing strategies.
Stuart Mundell is a Senior British Heart Foundation Research Fellow and Reader in the School of Physiology and Pharmacology at the University of Bristol. His research laboratory examines the functional consequences of mutations in proteins identified through the GAPP project. The characterization of these mutations not only helps us understand how these platelet expressed proteins work but also reveals important insights into how individual protein function impacts upon platelet activity.
Mike Makris is a reader in haemostasis and thrombosis at the University of Sheffield and director of the Sheffield haemophilia and thrombosis centre
Martina Daly is a Senior Lecturer with the Haemostasis Research Group in the Department of Cardiovascular Science at the University of Sheffield. Through the GAPP project, they are contributing to the next generation sequencing of patients with platelet-based bleeding disorders and to the studies relating genotype with phenotype. They are also examining how mutations in platelet genes can contribute to the expression and diagnosis of type 1 von Willebrand disease, a disorder which phenotypically resembles some platelet bleeding disorders.

WEDNESDAY, Jan 1
Western Sydney Wanderers 1 v Wellington Phoenix 3
Adelaide United v Sydney FC
Coopers Stadium, 7.30pm
The quirky A-League draw pits Adelaide and Sydney against each other for the first time this season, two days after the Wanderers and Phoenix completed their three match-ups.
Sydney has fallen in a hole with its sole win since November coming against Melbourne Heart. Sydney's defence will be the key concern to coach Frank Farina. Sydney conceded five to a rampant Roar last week and is without Seb Ryall this week.
As Sydney has never kept a clean sheet in Adelaide, Josep Gombau may well be licking his lips at what his tiki-taka could do to Sydney.
Newcastle Jets v Perth Glory
Hunter Stadium, 5.30pm
Perth Glory gets a chance to atone for its New Year's Eve meltdown up the F3 motorway in Newcastle but is unlikely to find the going any easier in the Hunter. With wins over Victory and Brisbane in the past month, Newcastle should bounce back from a 1-0 defeat in Adelaide last time out.
Ruben Zadkovich continues to dictate games from midfield. How Glory reacts in midfield to the loss of captain Jacob Burns through suspension could dictate its chances.
Melbourne Victory v Brisbane Roar
AAMI Park, 7.45pm
The undisputed game of the round, Saturday night's clash of the two best attacking forces is a mouth-watering one. Victory edged its last meeting 1-0 but the two leading scorers should produce more goals this time out despite key injuries.
The Roar will leave Besart Berisha at home while Archie Thompson was restricted to running at training this week and will not play. Victory will bring in Nick Ansell for Pablo Contreras (quad) while intrigue surrounds whether Kevin Muscat hands last week's free-kick hero Gui Finkler his first start of the season.
Central Coast Mariners v Melbourne Heart
Bluetongue Stadium, 5pm
After 12 rounds of trying, Heart gave up on favourite son John Aloisi winning a match this season and returned foundation coach John van 't Schip to the helm. Van 't Schip will be hoping to replicate the form of fellow new boss Phil Moss, who has four wins from his seven matches as Mariners boss.
Moss will have to prepare his team for an unknown quantity. There's plenty of room for improvement in the Heart team but whether van 't Schip persists with a lacklustre Harry Kewell and non-scoring Michael Mifsud up front are among the boss's most pressing concerns.

Gas prices in much of the U.S. had declined for 13 straight weeks before Monday's AAA Fuel Gauge Report announcement.
Overall, gas prices have still declined compared with the previous month, when regular unleaded fuel hit $3.547 per gallon.
But coupled with a lackluster jobs report released Friday and Republican insistence that Obama administration energy policies have kept gas prices high, the increase will likely serve as a lightning rod for lawmakers.

The first thing you need to know about Darius Rucker: He's not Hootie.
While you may know him as a former member of the '90s band Hootie & the Blowfish, Rucker was neither: "They were two buddies of mine back in college—one guy was Hootie and his best friend was The Blowfish. They walked into a party once and I said, 'Hey, Hootie and The Blowfish.' I think we started the band a week later."
But hits like "Let Her Cry" and "Only Wanna Be With You" were a long time ago. And since then, Rucker has made a country music career of his own. Tonight, his remake of Old Crow Medicine Show's "Wagon Wheel"—which made it to the top of Billboard's Country Singles Chart this year—is nominated for the Country Music Awards Single and Song of the Year. [Ed note: Darius did not win in these categories, but performed his hit to close out the CMAs.]
Rucker has more to say than the lyrics in his songs. After all, offstage he's a P90Xer, a traveler, a husband, and a father. Here are his thoughts:
On what you don't know about country music . . .
"The musicians are totally different. Everyone is really accessible. You'd be surprised at how easy it is to talk to Brad Paisley or Carrie Underwood."
On plowing ahead into a solo career . . .
"If I had cared about the naysayers, I would have never made it as a musician. If I had let the negative side of life affect me, I would have never made it in anything. If people like my music, great. If they don't, you know, hopefully I can make more."
On performing . . .
"On a summer night, I lose probably 5 to 8 pounds of water weight and sweat. It's so hot! You've got to be in good shape, especially with a high-energy show. I'm also not a partier. I gave up drinking and all that. I'm in bed at 11 and I'm up at 6:30."
On staying fit on the road . . .
"When I don't work out, I get mad. Yesterday, we were filming a music video and I was like, man, I didn't get my workout in. I don't love lifting weights. I don't love being on the elliptical. But I love everything that comes with it. P90X is my exercise on the road. When I'm home, there's this gym called 9 Round Boxing that I go to. It's all boxing stuff." (Want to be a white collar brawler? Check out these 5 things every desk jockey should know before stepping in the ring.)
On guilty pleasures . . .
"I'm a candy guy. I still have to have my Airheads and some candy corn!"
On hidden talents . . .
"I'm one of the best Madden players in the world. If I practice, I can beat anybody."
On who he still wants to perform with . . .
"Sade, John Legend, and I want to sing the hook on a Dr. Dre record."
On the best advice he's ever gotten . . .
"Brad Paisley once told me, 'Just be yourself.' I thought that was perfect."
On balancing work and home life . . .
"I try to tour mostly on the weekends so I can be home a lot. My kids also tour with me in the summer. I'll come off stage and they'll be watching a movie in the lounge. I'll be like, 'You guys watch any of the show?' and they're like, 'Nah, I heard three songs last night.' I'm their dad."
On his favorite achievement or accolade . . .
"Oh, my kids. Then there's being on stage with Al Green. My band was his backup singing 'Take Me to the River.' He was my mom's guy and my mom has been gone a long time. All I could think about was, my mom's in heaven, laughing her ass off."
Tune in to the Country Music Awards tonight at 8 p.m. ET on ABC to watch Darius Rucker.

Named in homage to Riverside, California's turn-of-the-century citrus packinghouses, this microbrewery handcrafts four year-round beers. The easy-drinking Sunburst Blonde pairs perfectly with a summer day, and the malty Black Beauty Cream Stout brims with scent of roasted barley. The Heritage Pale Ale and the Riley's Red Ale round out the year-round offerings. Besides the core four, the brewery creates an ever-expanding series of IPAs, as well as several specialty and seasonal libations. Inside Packinghouse's tasting room, bartenders pour pints of each day's available brews, which are also available to take home by the bottle and growler.
The combination of homemade thin-crust dough, house-made sauce, and eclectic ingredients helped net Oggi's Pizza & Brewing Co. a gig as the official pizza for the Anaheim Ducks. At the chain's more than 15 locations, much more than pizza is served: the extensive menu brims with crisp salads, pastas, burgers, sandwiches, and wings. Additionally, Oggi's brews its own beer, serving libations as fresh as laps from the vat and winning the title of Champion Small Brewing Company at the World Beer Cup in 2004. In between swigs of beer, patrons can catch sports games or competitive news broadcasts on one of the eatery's flat-screen TVs.
The early 20th century birthed the first incarnation of Mission Brewery, in which California newsboys and other pre–Jazz Era scallywags tossed back their sudsy concoctions before Prohibition closed its doors. Despite its short tenure since its reestablishment in 2007, Mission Brewery has already snatched medals from the Great American Beer Festival and other competitions for its pantheon of brews. In its tasting room, patrons claim bottles or sample draft beers that include the Bavarian-style hefeweizen with hints of banana, clove, and pear; a russian imperial stout; or the Shipwrecked Double IPA, a strong concoction that, like walking on hot coals, benefits from a liberal use of hops. Located just a few blocks from the San Diego Padre's Petco Park, guests can enjoy tours through the rows of gleaming vats in the brewing chambers, which are housed in the historic Wonder Bread Building, rumored to be haunted by multicolored polka dots.
Founded in 2010 by father-and-son team Jim and Jaime Dietenhofer and brewer A.J. Stoll, Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. has quickly proved its mettle by winning a series of medals, including five golds, from prestigious contests such as the Denver International Beer Competition. Visitors can peek at the brewery's inner workings on tours, learning about the origins of such beers as Paradise Road Pilsner, Davy Brown Ale, and Hurricane Deck Double IPA. They can also view the towering stainless-steel tanks in which beer is born as a mash and undergoes an awkward adolescence as a root beer. Back in the tasting room, guests sit beneath a wood and sheet-metal awning as they sip samples of the alcohol alchemists' nine beers. The tasting room is often host to events, with live music on the weekends and quiz and darts nights on alternating Wednesdays.
Broken Drum Brewery & Wood Grill's brew masters whip up froth-topped beers, served in-house or to-go in growlers and kegs, to provide a counterbalance to its hefty selection of Southwestern-inspired pub grub. Home brewers channel German brewing tradition to craft obsidian batches of malty bock beers as well as the Terrifico, which fills pint glasses with crisp mexican lager. The grill's platters include chicken mole, which arrives snuggled beneath a blanket of robust mole sauce and melted jack and cheddar cheeses, and grilled mahi-mahi tostadas topped with mango salsa, black beans, and coleslaw. Broken Drum's patio provides a location for sipping libations, and ample opportunities for tossing table scraps to fire hydrants.
Lockdown Brewing Co. quenches thirsts with the frothy formula of its self-proclaimed Folsom Prison Brews, whose names and labels draw inspiration from the area's rich history. Step inside the production warehouse to ogle brewmasters as they hand-sculpt suds using only all-natural ingredients, shunning common fillers such as cereal, pottery clay, or rice. Next, mingle through the brewery's on-site tasting room to redeem beer cards for 18 ales or root beers with selections from the available varieties. The Powerhouse pale ale beams with a sunny, golden hue and floral aroma heightened by a hint of mint, and the Represa red ale toasts tongues to a toasty finish and hopped-up aggression brought on by excessive weightlifting. Entertain orange peel-infused pints of Emma's blonde ale or sample Lockdown's array of salty snacks while exploring the dry, crisp, chocolatey waters of the Sutter Street Common ale.

Sienna Miller, Keira Knightley, Matthew Rhys at The Edge of Love Photocall
Sienna and Keira Are on the Edge of Their Seats
Keira Knightley headed north to Scotland after her radio interview in London yesterday to meet up with her co-stars from The Edge of Love for a photocall — where Sienna showed off a striped dress from her own line — and premiere of their film today. The girls posed on the red carpet with pal Matthew Rhys, whose close relationship with Sienna caused the jealousy that lead to her split from Rhys. It can't be easy for Rhys to see Sienna back next to Matthew, but seeking advice from Lindsay Lohan's sketchy ex, Calum Best, is probably not the best thing for a broken heart. Apart from the turmoil in her personal life, things are going great for Sienna professionally; she just landed a role in Ridley Scott's remake of Robin Hood alongside Russell Crowe.

By Les Dixon / For the Times-Tribune
The Williamsburg Yellow Jackets are looking to capture their fourth straight district championship and fifth in six years while Lynn Camp is looking to pull off a major upset Friday when the two teams meet at Mitchell Field.
The Yellow Jackets (5-2 overall, 2-0 versus district opposition) have run over district opponents the past four years, and could stretch their district win streak to 13 games if they can get by the Wildcats (3-5, 0-2).
"This is a huge game for us," Williamsburg coach Jerry Herron said. "We're not going to overlook Lynn Camp. Our kids are excited to play. We set out a goal at the beginning of the season to win all of our district games, and we have a chance to do that Friday.
"When these two teams play, you never know what can happen," he added. "I'm sure Lynn Camp is going to be ready to play, and they are not to be taken lightly."
Williamsburg has dominated the series of late, winning seven straight with its last loss against the Wildcats coming back in 2005 when Lynn Camp won, 67-8.
"We know this is going to be a difficult game," Lynn Camp coach Phil Russell said. "They are what teams want to be in Class A. They have a lot of weapons. They have everything you want out of a Class A football team. They have speed, size and they execute their offense very well.
"This is coach Herron's 10th year, and I hope in another eight we are where Williamsburg is," he added. "Like I said, they're everything a Class 'A' school wants to be."
Herron said the keys of the game for his team is to execute their offense while trying to contain Lynn Camp's Aaron Mills, Keanu Nolan and Tommy Hatfield.
"They have talented players," Herron said. "They'll try to spread you out at times, and with coach Russell's scheme, you've got to prepare for a lot of things. This is definitely going to be a good test for us."
Coming into the game, both teams seem to be heading into the opposite direction.
Williamsburg is coming off two wins over district foes Berea and Campbellsville, winning both games by a combined score of 103-13 while Lynn Camp lost both games to the Pirates and the Eagles by a combined score of 74-26.
"We've lost two games that I thought we had good chances of winning," Russell said. "We've got to put those games behind us and focus on Williamsburg. We got in a hole early against both teams (Berea and Campbellsville), and can't afford to do that against Williamsburg.
"But we're not going to play not to lose," he added. "Our game plan is to take it to them, and that's what we're going to do. Hopefully the ball will bounce our way and see what happens. There is a reason why Williamsburg is a top 10 program in the state, but we're going to try our best to take it to them and see what happens."

Frequently Asked Questions
Some people think that the only employment opportunities for economics majors are with government agencies, where they will spend their days analyzing things like inflation, unemployment rates, interest rates, and tax rates. And though it's true that some economics majors do go on to do these things, most choose not to. The truth is, the mathematical and analytical skills that economics majors develop in school are extremely valuable in just about every workplace, making economics one of the most versatile majors out there.
Most economics majors find employment in the business and finance industries, because their familiarity with economic laws and principles is directly applicable to their jobs. Graduates from economics programs are able to forecast financial trends and consumer spending habits, which helps organizations make smart financial, marketing, and product-related decisions.
If you're interested in economics but you're turned off by the idea of working in business or finance, we have good news for you as well. The analytical and mathematical skills that economics majors develop in school are applicable to many types of jobs in other areas. Some graduates spend their careers studying things like crime rates, mortality, marriage, divorce, and other types of demographic and behavioral data. This information can be used for many different purposes, including marketing efforts and urban planning.
Ultimately, economics majors have a greater number of career options than graduates from most other programs, and there are positions in virtually every industry that are well-suited to the education that a degree in economics provides.
Remember, employers hire people, not degrees, and your career will only be limited by your own ambition, imagination, and interests.
Note that some emerging occupations such as sustainability consultant/analyst or renewable energy analyst, or the broad range of consultant occupations, are not listed separately by the BLS. They typicall fall under broader management analyst and related occupations.
Click here to view a list that provides just some examples of occupations and career areas for economics graduates. It is drawn from the BLS's Occupational Outlook Handbook circa 2012.

'Deceiver' Sebelius calls Obamacare Web site 'a miserably frustrating experience for way too many Americans'
U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services apologizes for Internet debacle
Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius has apologized to the American public for the unstable Web site that has blocked users from comparing and enrolling in health insurance plans. She called it "a miserably frustrating experience for way too many Americans."
"I am as frustrated and angry as anyone with the flawed launch of healthcare.gov," Kathleen Sebelius told the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
The site crashed for the second time in a week when a data center owned by Verizon went down.
In a bit of damage control, the Obama administration has pledged to fix the site by November 30. Sebelius assures the public that the site has never "crashed," but is functional - just unreliable and slow.
"I know that the only way I can restore confidence to get it right is to get it right," she said. "So I have confidence, but I know it isn't fair to ask the American people to take our word for it. I've got to fix this problem."
Adding insult to injury, there is no reliable data to the number of Americans that have enrolled through the system. A federal health care official told Congress that 700,000 people had submitted applications through the federal and state health insurance marketplaces. Sebelius reminded others that the administration has no "reliable data" for how many have successfully enrolled and that more reliable data will be available by mid-November.
"It will be a very small number," she said. Sebelius cited the benighted launch of the Web site and expected enrollment trends. She referenced what happened when Massachusetts launched its own health care program in 2006.
Above all else are the millions of Americans who have had their health insurance canceled because they do not meet coverage standards set by the new law. Critics say that these cancellations contradict repeated assurances from President Barack Obama that Americans who liked their health plans would be allowed to keep them.
"Some people like to drive a Ford, not a Ferrari, and some people like to drink out of a red Solo cup, not a crystal stem," Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., told Sebelius at the House hearing. "You're taking away their choice."
The Obama administration has said that the cancellations apply only to the five percent of Americans who buy insurance on the individual market, not the 80 percent who are covered by their employers.

The Obamacare website debacle merely serves to illustrate the Lazarus-size (ref Luke 16:26) chasm that exists between we who must work every day for a living and the untouchable elites who pretend to be running the US government.
The government is reported to have spent 3 years and almost $650,000,000.00 to develop an on-line commerce website that could easily have been developed by almost any private sector software company for less than 1% of that amount and in less than 1/3 the amount of time, including all the necessary internal and external QA testing that seems to have been completely skipped for the Obamacare exchange.
Had anyone in private industry been in charge of a project that went 10000% over budget and took 3 times longer than any reasonable time estimate, that person would not only be quickly without a job, but would also be facing public humiliation, would be blackballed from any similar job for life, and would probably be facing bankrupting civil lawsuits and criminal prosecution for felony fraud and embezzlement.
Instead of the dire consequences that one would expect for such gross incompetence and abuses of power, the government officials who are in charge of this fiasco claim to be "indignant and frustrated" and get off the hook by making pledges to waste even more taxpayer money by "fixing", within a month, what it took them 3 years and hundreds of millions of public funds to screw up in the first place. Question: Will anyone in government be subject to any significant or lasting negative consequences from this huge example of public malfeasance? Answer: highly unlikely. -

Obama and Sebelius didn't care if the Obamcare website or Obamacare works.
What they wanted to do, is to shove Socialized Medicine down the American people's throat.
Once the entitled, fat, lazy, overly sexed, overly medicated, overly feminized, overly big-government dependent people become dependent on Obamacare, and costs increases and services are rationed, it would have to be funded in spite of it's failure.
Russia's errors are still being felt.

Group turns trash into treasure |
| Print | |
Articles - October 2010 | ||
Tuesday, September 28, 2010 | ||
A group of Portland-area business strategists are encouraging companies to dump their waste on others as a way to save money. ResourceFull Use, founded in 2007, is a pilot resource exchange project that looks for ways to make one business' trash another business' gain instead of disposing of it at financial and environmental cost. Metro estimates more than 575,000 tons of waste are produced annually by Metro-area businesses. The idea of resource exchanging in the Northwest isn't new. Imex.com, based in Washington, is a sort of Craigslist for businesses searching for materials that would otherwise go to the dump. But "passive exchanging does not work as well as active exchanges," says Dorothy Atwood, co-founder of ResourceFull Use and an employee of the Zero Waste Alliance. She values a more active approach, like her group organizes. "It's like speed dating," Atwood says of ResourceFull Use's workshops that bring together area business leaders. "You talk to one person for one minute and then switch. In 20 minutes you've talked to 20 people." Past workshops in the Portland area have led to ripped hotel sheets turned into prison linens and airport runway paint transferred to an auto body shop for use in a parking lot. A similar program in Seattle has led to over $390,000 in annual savings for participating businesses and 3,663 tons of material diverted annually. But there are obstacles. ResourceFull currently has a limited scope. "You have to have critical mass and you need a way to track it to make it really work," Atwood says. Atwood hopes to increase the number of these workshops in the future to get out the word that there is value in what businesses are tossing. PETER BELAND |

CBO underestimated potential revenues from expanded drilling, study finds
The Congressional Budget Office's estimate of potential revenue from expanded oil and gas leasing in federal areas was far too conservative, underestimating the potential budget impact by billions of dollars, according to an analysis issued Tuesday by the industry-backed Institute for Energy Research.
The IER-funded review by Louisiana State University economist Joseph Mason found that opening federal areas to leasing would generate an additional $24 billion annually in tax revenues initially, growing to $99 billion annually over 30 years.
"Even conservatively estimating, the economic impacts of allowing access to U.S. energy resources are significant. This old dogmatic adhesion to policies of limited access and new policies of punishing existing access, taxing that access even more heavily, just restrain economic growth at a time when the U.S. economy is sorely in need of jobs, wages and fiscal revenues," Mason told reporters.
The IER study comes as oil and gas proponents continue to press the Obama administration to make more federal lands and offshore areas available for drilling, despite Obama's argument during the campaign that the majority of known reserves are already open to the industry.
Top Guardian Stories
It also comes as the industry prepares to defend its tax incentives on Capitol Hill as Democrats look to close deductions and other tax breaks claimed by oil companies.
The report was intended to expand upon an evaluation by the Congressional Budget Office last year of possible revenues from expanded federal leasing. That evaluation was prepared for the House Budget Committee and examined areas not already open to leasing.
Those areas include the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and Outer Continental Shelf areas along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
CBO estimated that ANWR leasing would generate about $5 billion over the next 10 years, with 90 percent going to Alaska under current law. Between $2 billion and $4 billion a year in royalties from 2023-2035 would be split between the state and Washington once production gets underway.
Another $2 billion annually could be expected from additional leases in OCS waters that are not currently open, CBO said. It estimated annual royalties ranging from tens of millions of dollars a year to a few hundred million dollars a year, because of the uncertainty about whether production would take place on the leases.
Mason estimated that beyond the additional tax revenues generated by new leasing and development, total economic output would range from $127 billion annually to $450 billion annually during production, or about 3.2 percent of gross domestic product.
Mason estimated job creation at about 552,000 jobs annually for the first seven years and two million jobs annually after that.
"Continuing to downplay the reality of the economic value of these resources just ignominiously prevents the intelligent debate of the energy industry's place in the U.S. economy, detracting from real solutions to energy policies, including both energy independence and energy conservation," Mason said.

do I dance far too much when I am drinking?
or do I not dance enough when I am sober?
remedy: more dancing
comic about how I've been feeling recently
This is actually me as of recent years.
I've grown very apathetic, frustrated, and apathetic. For me, I think a combination of impatience for financial independence and a general tiring of all the constant bullshit being fed to me from every direction in my life contributed to most of my apathy.
Life sucks. Life actually sucks, and you don't realize it until you compare all the pain, suffering, and disdain to all the times you've been told not to quit or give up, because they care about you. It's great to be loved and needed by others, but everyone has their own life, so they all can't be in your life 24/7. (though I would bet some would try) So what does that mean for your own self?
It's hard for me to improve my own life, but I try, every day. Sending in job applications, going to interviews, submitting demos to labels, and continuously waiting with patience for the fruits of my labor to sprout. Minimal to no results, and constant discouragement from my parents, claiming that "I'm not trying hard enough." I have stopped to consider whether or not I'm trying hard enough, and as far as I know, 3 applications a day, with a few walkins and the occasional job fair that happens around here, yeah, I guess I can do better. I just hate that the more I do, the less encouraging things are. Patience is a virtue, I know, I used to be the first one to preach that, but it just gets harder and harder the longer and longer the wait.
Plus, life is never fair, nor was it ever at one point, "fair". Living in a land where you're judged like a piece of meat, treated like an idiot, and constantly lied to by the people you're taught to trust really sucks. Mindless activities like video games and other hobbies are requiring more and more effort to do. There are only a handful of people who I consider good friends, and only 3 or 4 of them I can actually see in person, but not as often as I want because their time is cut by life (work, school, etc.), and my finances are cut by life as well.
Just like every other halfwit on this planet, I've been hard-wired to believe that money will make me happy. The more I accept it, the more willing I am to sacrifice my well-being to idolize money, the less I accept it, the more excuses and medical diagnoses I try to come up with to explain why I'm "unhappy".
Sometimes I wish I was stupid and talentless. That way I could be blind to all of this and just enjoy myself at a dead-end job and let that be that.
The only reason why I don't wish I was dead is because my faith is only strong enough to 90 percent deny that Heaven and Hell is more than a delusion strengthened by fear of the unknown.
I fucking hate my dad, and my mom is great but she's crazy as shit. My siblings are total assholes who hold little regard for their family, wherever they are. I don't talk to friends because I either don't know how or I manage to convince myself that I have too much music to distract myself from with social interaction. My interactions with random people have been slowly but steadily more arrogant, rude, apathetic, but most of all, deceptive and minimal. I take this outstanding angst out on myself through means of meaningless social media and it doesn't help. Someone once tried to start a #ThereForSilva campaign on Twitter after I made an emotional Twitter rant and I honestly didn't like it. I didn't want my happiness to be some kind of Kickstarter perk as a result of barraging me with heartfelt, honest and caring tweets. I didn't want anyone to feel like they owed me anything.
I HATE the feeling of anyone owing me anything. I never want to be a burden to anyone in any way, especially if I don't have to be.
But I am. I'm irresponsible, arrogant, lustful, slothful, angry, talkative, over-thinking, and the worst person I will ever know, in addition to being a bad person in some way to some people, the latter of which I can or can't live with.
The absolute worst part is that after a few hours, none of this will matter. Life will just continue. So getting words out is the only thing I have the power to do right now, even if some of it doesn't even make sense. I'm just honestly wasting time and finger strength.
I'm not very sad, I just really had to get this out.

Cablevision, Clever Devices join LIA board
Tags: BNAM092311, Board of directors, Cablevision, Clever Devices, Long Island, Long Island Association, Ronkonkoma
The Long Island Association added two new members to its board of directors this week.
Frank Ingrassia, president and CEO of Plainview-based Clever Devices, and Tad Smith, president of Cablevision's local media group, have become the newest members of the LIA's 60-member board of directors.
Clever Devices is a 200-plus employee transit technology company that provides solutions for mass transportation, including bus arrival prediction technology and automatic vehicle monitoring. Ingrassia began leading the tech company after serving as a partner and chairman of the public finance group at Goldman Sachs & Co.
Cablevision is a major provider of cable, Internet and phone service in the New York Metropolitan area, and owns News 12 and Newsday, for which Smith is responsible.
LIA President Kevin Law said he is excited about having both men join the board after the LIA did not fill two of its vacancies at its annual reorganization meeting in February. In particular, this marks the first time Cablevision, one of the Island's largest employers, has had a seat on the LIA's board of directors.
"I just finished my first year here and my goal during that time was to help rebuild the board, making it a point to go after certain individuals who I thought would strengthen us," Law said.
The additions bring the LIA's board of directors back up to an even 60. Every year, there's usually a small amount of turnover that occurs on the board, allowing for new members to join, Law said.
"Right now we have about a dozen or so more folks who want to join the board," Law said. "It's a nice problem to have."

ENID, Okla. —
Thumbs up to a long-established Enid company that's growing into an internationally based business.
Amy Parrish, of Parrish Manufacturing Group, talked about the company started by her grandfather in 1951 during Monday's Enid Rotary Club meeting.
In 1965, Parrish purchased land on East Willow to build a sand cast foundry and for potential expansion. The foundry was built in 1969.
Today, Parrish Manufacturing makes quick connect/disconnect couplings and replacement parts.
Over the years, Parrish has expanded its offerings through the acquisition of other companies, which have been moved to Enid.
We're glad to have the company here.
Thumbs up to the city of Enid website for being one of eight Vision Internet clients nationwide to receive a 2013 Sunny Award, which honors the most transparent government websites in the nation.
The Enid website was one of five Vision Internet clients that received an A-plus grade.
Congrats on this honor.
More thumbs up for having enough volunteers to cover every route in the spring food drive for Horn of Plenty for the first time in several years.
Horn of Plenty receives a lot of help from the number of churches, civic groups and families who come out each year.
As usual, Horn of Plenty needs tuna, peanut butter and jelly, which always are in demand.
The food pantry also needs cereal, baby food and any nonperishable items.
"There's never been a decrease in need. It always goes up. This year, we helped the Vance employees whose checks were held up," Board President Pat Brown said.
Thanks for helping out those in need.
Thumbs down for news of an Enid nursing home being fined more than $1.3 million for not taking appropriate actions when a registered sex offender who was a patient there had inappropriate contact with other residents.
Oklahoma State Department of Health inspectors cited numerous deficiencies on March 8 when they surveyed Kenwood Manor, 502 W. Pine.
Three of those deficiencies were deemed "a pattern ... that constitutes immediate jeopardy to resident health and safety."
"This is an unprecedented situation," said Dorya Huser, chief of Long Term Care for the Protective Health Services division of OSDH. "They have a convicted sex offender that's in the facility, and there has been inappropriate activity with residents. They have to develop policies relative to abuse and neglect and follow those policies. In this case, they had a policy, but they didn't implement the policy."
The nursing home has until May 31 to appeal the survey results.
Big thumbs up to Parrish Manufacturing for taking a local company international
