OIT Times: Closing Plenary Session--Are U.S. Basic Industries Endangered?
March 27, 2001
Richard McCormack, publisher of Manufacturing News, moderated a somber discussion by respected industry statesmen. Hank Barnett, Chairman Emeritus of Bethlehem Steel, praised the technology progress already achieved through the IOF partnerships and underscored the need to continue incremental improvements. But he warned that the viability of U.S. steelmaking is in jeopardy unless existing trade laws are enforced. Barnett suggested that basic materials industries face a common risk from foreign dumping and should jointly press for enforcement and a Federal strategy that integrates energy, environmental, and trade issues.
On a brighter note, Pat Gruber of Cargill Dow, LLC spoke of the immediate global success of new products made with advanced technologies that use abundant, inexpensive, renewable materials. He indicated that further technology development in distributed generation, alternative materials, and use of biomass may help address many current industry challenges.
Paul Mikkola of Hitchiner Manufacturing noted that the metal casting industry faces increased offshore competition as well as energy and environmental issues. He believes industry will benefit from increased use of lean manufacturing, incremental technology improvements, and educational initiatives at the university level.
Richard Lawson (recently retired) from the National Mining Association said no new mine has opened in the U.S. in about seven years and exploration has dwindled. He remarked that increased domestic energy production requires a reordering of priorities on regulatory issues and a public education effort. He noted that voluntary partnerships have contributed to major advances in combustion efficiency and environmental performance, yet the public is largely unaware of these achievements. He sees a need for continued technology improvements and better public outreach.
Henson Moore of the American Forest and Paper Association commented that some paper mills are moving offshore and others can make more money by selling their energy contracts than by manufacturing paper. Through the IOF partnership, however, the industry is on the cusp of a major breakthrough in black liquor gasification. Pilot plants are under construction, and the technology could make the industry a net energy supplier.DuPont exercises responsible care and openness with communities as a way to grow value while reducing the environmental footprint. To date, the company has reduced priority air emissions by 75%. This has been achieved by such changes as shifting the focus from volume to value. For example, efficiency improvements were realized by changing the base of payments for car paint used by Ford from gallons of paint used to number of vehicles painted.

Associated Press
The Associated Press is the essential global news network, delivering accurate, insightful news from every corner of the world, 24 hours a day. Since its founding in 1846, AP has been the first to report many of history's most important moments, and every day, AP journalists, photographers and videographers file news from the front lines of the world's biggest stories.
AP's reporting, photography, audio and video are published and broadcast by the world's leading newspapers, TV channels, apps, radio stations, websites and magazines—in fact, over half the world's population sees AP news content on any given day.
As a leader in the field of journalism, AP fights for freedom of the press and the public's right to know. Its reporters take great risks to file in-depth stories from countries where the press is otherwise restrained, and in the U.S., AP aggressively uses the Freedom of Information Act to advocate for transparency and accountability in government.
With more experience reporting and delivering news than any other agency, a well-earned reputation for independence and accuracy, and a fierce commitment to the people's right to know, AP is the definitive source for trusted news.
Ohio military veterans bonus deadline approaching
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Military veterans who served during the Persian Gulf War era have until Tuesday to claim Ohio bonuses of up to $1,500.
Ohio voters in 2009 approved a $200 million bond issue to fund bonuses for veterans of the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan and Iraq war eras. Iraq War veterans have another year, until Dec. 31, 2014, to apply. No deadline has been announced for Afghanistan War and all veterans who served after Oct. 7, 2001.
Eligible next of kin of those who were killed in action or died of disease as a result of in-theater service also can apply for the Ohio Veterans Bonus.
As of earlier this month, roughly $60 million had been paid to nearly 72,000 veterans and family members covering all three war eras.
A possible primary opponent for FitzGerald
CINCINNATI (AP) - A southwest Ohio Democrat is set to announce whether he'll make a run for Ohio governor. Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune says he will reveal his decision Monday afternoon.
Portune could set up a Democratic primary against Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald if he decides to run. A primary would be an expensive proposition as Democrats aim to take back the governor's office from Republican John Kasich.
Portune has spent the last two decades as either a Cincinnati city councilman or Hamilton County commissioner.

Ohio Supreme Court to take up traffic camera case
Ohio's Supreme Court will take up a challenge to how a northern Ohio city fines drivers caught on camera.
A state appeals court earlier this year ruled that Toledo had wrongly taken away jurisdiction with its administrative review process for drivers who run red lights or speed. The attorney who brought the lawsuit says the city is denying drivers their day in court.
The Blade newspaper in Toledo reports that the decision may impact other cities around Ohio that have the red-light and speed cameras. Attorneys for the city of Toledo say in court filings that the appeals court decision took away cities' rights spelled out in the Ohio Constitution that allow them to create review processes for noncriminal issues.
AG says Ohio has processed nearly 5000 rape kits
Attorney General Mike DeWine says Ohio's crime lab has processed nearly 5,000 previously untested rape kits as it searches for DNA matches that could help solve reported sexual assaults.
DeWine says forensic scientists with the state lab had received 4,956 previously untested kits from 110 law enforcement agencies in Ohio as of early this week. Testing has been completed on more than 2,300 of those rape kits, leading to 766 DNA matches in a criminal database.
DeWine announced the testing initiative in December 2011. The attorney general has offered free DNA testing to any law enforcement agency with untested rape kits in which a crime was believed to have been committed. Many of the kits submitted for testing are between 10 and 20 years old.

Krieg103 weeks agoI think this will turn into a good design.
how you do the color and set the scene will make this.
Was half the image croped out because your still working on it or was there a problem with the upload? I want to see how Walternate looks :P -
mbecks114103 weeks agoOh I just uploaded a big file. Click it and you should be able to see the full version.
Thanks though! I'll keep color in mind! -
Doc_1sh103 weeks agoI'm a big Fringe Fan, so I can't wait to see where this goes. Am I right that you've got Peter on the left and RedVerse Lincoln Lee on the right? I think it'd be cool to have both Lincolns- they're very different- and then have Peter in the middle, since he really belongs to both sides. Just a thought.
heyboova103 weeks agoWow, I love this!! I would love to see a fringe shirt on here so bad.
Couple minor suggestions to an otherwise awesome design-- Peters eyebrow looks a little big and his hair looks too slicked back. Also, he usually has some stubble, but that looks more like a full beard, especially the 'stache. I would tone it down a little to make it look more like him.
I also love the chalk-outline on the ground, but maybe make it look more like a person and less like if the AOL guy got messed up between universes.
Hope to see this shirt sooN! -
mbecks114103 weeks ago
heyboova103 weeks agoGood coloring. I think it has enough going on without the fringe animated series at the bottom
mbecks114103 weeks ago
Darth_Jones103 weeks agoI LOVE this! Very awesome! I agree the text on the bottom was throwing it off, but i like it there more than not having it there at all. I definitely like the raised text version the best!
Hope to buy this in the future! -
heyboova103 weeks agoI think I like it best without the text since it's a little more subtle. It already says fringe and it's a cartoon. That being said, the text raised up looks so much better. Being on the curve of the circle brings your eye around
mbecks114103 weeks agoThanks, yeah I think I'm going to go with the raised text. it's still easy to remove if I change my mind!
Nicksvb85 weeks agoshould have had broyles on the left, and dismembered broyles on the right!
Caddywompus85 weeks agoMaybe it's just me, but from a distance it's hard to see the separation between Walters and Peters. It makes them look like Peter is giving Walter a piggy back ride. Up close it's easy enough to decipher but you might want to put some kind of break between the two and define the flash light more like you did with the outlines. Or you might try shifting Peter inward more towards the center to create the separation.
mbecks11485 weeks ago@Nicksvb hahaha that'd be hilarious but a little dark
@caddywompus I see exactly what you mean. I don't know if I can move Peter and Lincoln but I can probably add some sort of line to make them more distinguishable. But on a higher resolution image the differences are a little easier to see -
Nicksvb84 weeks agoWell at least a broyles. he's important!
I love love this design, although I think the title of the shirt should def be fringe the animated series, idk if i'd want that on the shirt. -
mbecks11484 weeks agoHmm yeah i've been torn on the text for a while
Nicksvb84 weeks agoare you over your color limit?
mbecks11484 weeks agoHaha i am well over the color limit. I will work on a six color variant
mbecks11484 weeks ago
heyboova84 weeks agoblack, red, brown, grey, yellow, skin color, white, the grey fringe sign,
I'm counting 8 colors?
I love the design still, but get rid of the animated series text!! -
mbecks11484 weeks agoAgh i forgot to count the skin tone! So it is currently:
black, white, red, yellow, brown, tan, gray
The fringe logo is white transparent so it would end up being solid white, which i'll need to fix. But that's still 7 colors. I'll keep playing with it
And i'll remove the text too since it seems to be unpopular.
Thanks for the feed back -
Nicksvb84 weeks agoOnce that text is gone, it's an instabuy!!!!!!
Nicksvb84 weeks agomaybe change astrids shirt to black, that way not everyone is wearing a blue shirt in a row, and her and olive arent matching?
Nicksvb83 weeks agoand fauxlivias jacket was always black.
Darth_Jones82 weeks agoI don't think it can work with only 6 colors. Looking at it, it needs the skin tone, it needs the black, blue, yellow, white and red. Maybe you could get rid of all the gray? But i like the gray and when u made it less colors the Astrids looked too dark and Fauxlivia's hair isn't quite right as just brown. Maybe a little playing around could make it Teefury ready but I really do like the design unrestricted!
Nicksvb82 weeks agoanyone think teefury would let it slide with 7?

Doctor Apologizes For $73,000 Ring Lawsuit
October 11, 2011 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
HOUSTON, Oct. 11 (UPI) — A well-known Houston doctor said he was dropping a lawsuit seeking a $73,000 engagement ring from his ex-fiancee and he will pay her legal fees.
Tony Buzbee, an attorney for Nichole Johnson, released a statement from the woman's ex-fiance, Dr. Craig Fischer, chief of digestive surgical oncology and associate professor of surgery at Methodist Hospital, apologizing for the lawsuit, the Houston Chronicle reported Tuesday.
"I apologize for filing a lawsuit against Nichole Johnson," the statement reads. "It was a big mistake on my part. I was wrong and should have never done it. I am immediately dropping the case and will pay Nichole $100,000 as attorney's fees. I also want to thank Nichole's attorneys for helping me understand the mistake I made. Again, I am sorry. I will have no further comment."
Buzbee, who previously said he would be turning the ring over to Fischer, said his client had previously attempted to return the piece of jewelry.

Country Life Vegetarian Support™ -- 120 Vegetarian Capsules
Great Vegetarian Supplement
This vitamin really helps balance out my energy with natural supplements that encourage body overall health.
March 10, 2013
You can always trust Country Life products
Great multivitamin. I like that it is vegetarian and that it has digestive enzymes. Never have any problems with this vitamin.
January 13, 2012
great for vegans too
This supplement worked well for me. Vegans need the extra B vitamins and this formula helped a lot. I take it before I go to bed and I wake up with energy now.
May 17, 2010
Good vegan supplement
It's difficult to find supplements that are both vegan as far as the ingredients go AND that support a vegetarian lifestyle - these do both. I only take 1/2 the dosage each day (2 capsules rather than 4) so a bottle lasts me 2 months. I feel great and don't worry as much if I don't quite sneak in all the nutrients I need each day. This vitamin provides me with peace of mind in that respect. Overall a great purchase at a good price from this site.
July 25, 2009
Can't beat the price!
This product is great! It really makes you feel a lot better, you can tell you are getting what you need. It does make your urine bright yellow, ha ha ha! But I think all of the vitamins I have ever taken have done that. The down side is you have to take 4 a day, with meals, and if I don't eat enough when I take them my stomach is a little upset. Other than that this is a great product.

(CE:809a-810a) DAYR AL-'IZAM (Asyut). [This entry consists of two parts: the history of this monastery, and its architecture.] History The "Monastery of the Bones" is bounded on three sides by a cemetery (whence, no doubt, its name), today in disorder. It is situated on the desert plateau that dominates the necropolis of ASYUT, about 2 miles (3 km) southwest of the mausoleum of Shaykh Abu Tuq. A jar found in situ bears a Coptic inscription dated 1156 and naming the site "Apa John of the Desert" (Maspero, 1900; Crum, 1902, no. 8104, pl. 1; Wiet, Vol. 2, cols. 1053-54). The same expression is found in a number of the Coptic texts (Kahle, 1954, Vol. 1, pp. 22ff.; van Lantschoot, 1929, Vol. 1, pt. 2, p. 33; Crum, 1902, Vol. 2, no. 84). This is certainly what was transcribed into Arabic by ABU SALIH THE ARMENIAN at the beginning of thirteenth century: "the Monastery of Abu Yuhannis, called Ibshay" (this last word being the transcription of the Coptic pdjaie, the desert). One thinks naturally of JOHN OF LYCOPOLIS, of whom the HISTORIA MONACHORUM IN AEGYPTO (Chapt. 1, pp. 9-35) and the Historia lausiaca of PALLADIUS (Vol. 2, chap. XXXV) speak. The first speaks of 5 miles between Asyut and the hermitage of John; the second, of 3 miles only. John being a recluse, it is understandable that he should have chosen a site so remote in the desert; it is the only example in the region. It is possible that this is the "Monastery of Seven Mountains" mentioned by al-MAQRIZI (1853, p. 506), although he placed it under the name of JOHN COLOBOS, a confusion frequent in al-Maqrizi and the Coptic authors. He added that it was destroyed in A.H. 821/A.D. 1418. Modern descriptions of the site are given by Jollois and Devilliers (1820-1826, Vols. 4, pp. 154-56, and 15, p. 201, n. 1), M. Jullien(1901, p. 208), S. Clarke (1912, pp. 178-79), and O. Meinardus (1965, p. 283; 1977, pp. 392-93). RENÉ-GEORGES COQUIN MAURICE MARTIN, S.J. Architecture The monastery was destroyed in the late 1960s by units of the Egyptian army stationed in the immediate area. According to an old survey plan of 1901 (de Bock, 1901, pp. 88-90, fig. 100), it was surrounded by an irregular wall, inside which were a church and a keep (jawsaq), in addition to the remains of a few insignificant residential buildings for the monks. The church was a long building and, according to the plan, appears to have been set out as a basilica with three aisles. Between the naos and the actual sanctuary a khurus (room between the naos and the sanctuary) was added, as has been the custom since the eighth century, particularly in the churches of monasteries. An apse was no longer recognized even at this time. Worthy of note is the curve in a northerly direction in the sanctuary area. The keep, located on a raised terrace on the north wall, had a square ground plan and was divided into four chambers, with the stair in the southeast. The entrance, therefore, lay either on the south or on the east side. Typologically this keep still belongs to the older examples. PETER GROSSMANN

LOCATING AIRBORNE WIFI. Many big U.S. and international airlines now provide for in-flight Wi-Fi access on some planes. Most U.S. lines have adopted GoGo's land-based system, which involves a large number of ground stations that, in aggregate, cover most of the United States and border areas of Canada. A few, however, have opted for satellite-based systems, which provide connections across the Atlantic and Pacific. Along with the usual fare and schedule information, the online travel agency CheapAir (www.cheapair.com) notes which flights offer onboard Wi-Fi, as well as personal video monitors, live TV and movies. Whether or not you book through CheapAir, the information will help you select flights that provide the particular flavor of online connectivity you're searching.

-- Some providers use the popular "freemium" business model: You can get a barebones "free" or "demo" version without paying, but have to pay a one-time or yearly fee for more fully-featured systems. Among them: Front Door Software (www.frontdoorsoftware.com), Locate Laptop (www.locatelaptop.com), LocateMyLaptop (www.locatemylaptop.com), Prey (www.preyproject.com) and YoYo Laptop Tracking Software (www.computersecurity.com). All are available for both PC and Mac; and several are also available for iPhones, Android and Windows phone devices. Some let you disable data on a stolen laptop if you can connect to it. The main drawback is that a savvy thief can usually remove or disable them.
-- Other programs start off with full-featured versions that include not only the tracking software but also backup agents who work with local police to attempt to recover the computer. Among them: Brigadoon Security Group's Phone Home (www.brigadoonsoftware.com), GadgetTrak (www.gadgettrak.com) and LoJack for Laptops (http://store.lojackforlaptops.com/). Fees start at about $30 a year.
I haven't personally tested either type -- fortunately -- so I can't make a personal recommendation. But trade reports indicate that they help in many cases.
DONATING A TIMSEHARE. These days, many timeshare interval owners who no longer wish to use their intervals are "upside down" on their units: Like homeowners whose mortgages exceed their property values, these folks seem trapped into their "investments," facing various ongoing payments even when they can't sell and don't use the timeshare. Although, in theory, owners can sell an unwanted interval, they often find no takers with a relatively unattractive timeshare carrying high payments. Even if they're willing literally to give their timeshare away, they may find no takers. Of course, there's no shortage of scammers who will take a big fat fee up front and promise to get rid of those units, but they often disappear with your money without results.
Many owners think they can solve the problem by donating the timeshare interval to a charity, taking a tax write-off, and at least getting out from under the payments. Sadly, that doesn't always work; a charity has no more interest than an owner in paying out ongoing fees for a timeshare it can't sell. A couple of websites provide some insight into these problems:
-- Timeshare Trap (www.timesharetrap.com) provides a useful overview of the donation option and its risks.
-- Donate for a Cause (www.donateforacause.org) is an umbrella site that facilitates donations to many charities.
Both sites provide pretty good primers on the subject. And both note that owners have to pay off any outstanding loans on the interval and maybe pay something to offset a charity's risk. The key rule, says both, is that owners should never pay any money until the accepting organization actually takes title.
