The Effect of Information Technology and Human Capital on Economic Growth
In this paper we compare the impact of hardware, software and com munication equipments, widely referred to as information and communication technologies (ICT) on economic growth among the advanced industrialized countries. We use nonparametric techniques that allow us to directly estimate the elasticity of ICT and human capital for each country and time period. We also examine whether the nonlinear relationship between human capital and growth, found in the literature, still persists in the presence of ICT e¤ects. The data covers the period from 1980-2004, for a range of OECD countries and the results indicate that there exist a nonlinear relationship between ICT and productivity along with a nonlinear relationship between human capital and productivity. Additionally, we observe that in high levels of ICT capital the output elasticities of human capital are larger and the more educated workers in a country the higher are the output elasticities of ICT.Download Info

6. Once a Day, Utter the Most Difficult Word to Say in the English Language:
"Help!" (After some practice you will no longer need that pesky exclamation point after it.) 7. Plug into Blue-Sky TV (But Only for an Hour) Everybody knows about junk TV. We all love it, we all feel bad about loving it but tell ourselves not to feel bad—rinse and repeat. But let's talk about the junk of the junk, the fluffy cream inside the Twinkie of small-screen watching: blue-sky TV. These are shows where the sun shines literally and figuratively. No matter what the problem—murder, a deadly virus, a marital fight—all is resolved with minimal heartache, usually on a beach or a sun-drenched sidewalk. Once you notice the blue-sky phenomenon, you will see it everywhere. The Hard-Hitting Drama About Handsome Cops Who Drive Ferraris...in Miami. The Serial Soap Opera About the Beautiful but Wronged Young Heiress...in the Hamptons. The Heartwarming Family Saga Where the Whole Extended Clan Argues but Eats Dinner Together...Outside on a Picnic Table in California. The Zombie Show Where Dead People Eat Live People...Under Pastoral Puffy Clouds. Tired women do NOT need realistic gray skies and atmospheric real rain. Most of us can shut our eyes and see that going in our heads. Plugging into a fictional universe where not only are the threats to happiness candied but the weather comes bottled in corn syrup is a little like falling into a drawing from kindergarten, when everybody drew stick pictures of people holding hands. 8. Do the Boring, Bare Minimum Everybody has one or two practical things they know they need to do to not get depressed, things that are guaranteed to improve our mood. These things are not always fun. They are things like working out, eating five fruits and veggies a day, practicing your mediation, doing your bad-back stretches, working on your poetry, which makes you feel good but also makes you feel scared that you can't write poetry. It gets harder and harder to do them especially if you are one of the tired, overcommitted women whose only free time is at 5 a.m. or 11 p.m. My thinking is that we need to do things to keep ourselves from slipping into a dark blasted pit of the blahs, but...we don't need to do them all that well. We can slop through the 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer or stuff the nutritious banana down right before bed. This approach, of course, means violating the number one belief that all tired, overcommitted women base their lives on—excellence at all costs. (Why do you think we're tired and overcommitted, anyway?) But happiness, thank God, is not something that requires excellence. You can be slap-dash happy. You can be lazily and incompetently happy. The emotion, in fact, improves under such conditions. Next: The activity that wins over all others |

Markisha Wright scored 20 points for No. 5 Notre Dame in a 128-55 romp past St. Francis, Pa., on Monday.
Notre Dame (10-1) dominated on both ends of the floor, forcing 33 turnovers and turning those into 49 points. The Irish led 63-25 at the break, their largest halftime lead of the season.
Alexa Hayward led the Red Flash (5-6) with 13 points.
Natalie Achonwa and Kayla McBride made easy shots from the low post for Notre Dame, many off give-and-gos from point guard Skylar Diggins.
Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw had her reserves, including Wright, in the game with 13 minutes to play in the first half. It was the final pre-Big East tuneup for the Irish before their conference opener Jan. 5 at No. 1 Connecticut.

FDA Approves Another New Drug to Fight Hepatitis C
Incivek cleared body of the liver-damaging virus faster than older meds in trials
MONDAY, May 23 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Monday approved Incivek (telaprevir), one of a new class of drugs, to fight chronic hepatitis C infection.
The approval comes after the agency gave a thumbs-up on May 13 to another drug in the same class, called Victrelis (boceprevir).
Both pills appear to help more people clear the virus from their system in a shorter time than older drugs for hepatitis C.
In three clinical trials sponsored by the drug's maker, Massachusetts-based Vertex Pharmaceuticals, a much higher percentage of patients responded favorably when Incivek was added to their care vs. the use of older drugs alone. The length of time needed to treat also fell, from 48 weeks to 24 weeks, the FDA said.
"With the approval of Incivek, there are now two important new treatment options for hepatitis C that offer a greater chance at a cure for some patients with this serious condition," Dr. Edward Cox, director of the Office of Antimicrobial Products in FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in a statement. "The availability of new therapies that significantly increase responses while potentially decreasing the overall duration of treatment is a major step forward in the battle against chronic hepatitis C infection."
Experts working in the field agreed.
"Both patients and physicians are really excited about the approval of this drug, which represents a huge advance in the treatment of hepatitis C. It is expected to almost double the cure rate of this disease," said Dr. Douglas Dieterich, a professor of medicine in the division of liver diseases, at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.
"We are all very excited about the approval of a new treatment option for hepatitis C," added Dr. Joseph Rahimian, an infectious disease specialist at NYU Langone Medical Center. "This disease has been very difficult to treat, with limited therapeutic options. Many patients have either not been able to tolerate treatment, or have not responded to treatment.Telaprevir will be a welcome addition to treating hepatitis C."
More than 3 million Americans have chronic infection with the hepatitis C virus, which can cause long-term damage to the liver and lead to liver dysfunction or failure, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Hepatitis C is a blood-borne infection; people typically become infected via needle sharing, sharing toothbrushes or razors with someone who is infected, or sexual contact. Infants can pick up hepatitis C from an infected mother.
Hepatitis C infection is a "silent killer" because infected individuals may go for years without displaying symptoms before liver damage becomes apparent. This damage can take the form of cirrhosis, which is also tied to bleeding, jaundice and even liver cancer. According to the CDC, chronic hepatitis C infection is responsible for most of the liver transplants now conducted in the United States.
Incivek is taken three times daily with food. According to the FDA, for the first three months, patients should take Incivek in combination with older medications, peginterferon alfa and ribavirin. People who respond well to that regimen can usually then be treated with Incivek for 24 weeks rather than the usual 48.
Incivek's approval was based on the results of three clinical trials involving about 2,250 adults with hepatitis C who had either never been treated before for the infection, or who had received prior therapy. All patients got Incivek alongside the two older drugs.
Among previously untreated patients, 79 percent saw hepatitis C fall to undetectable levels in blood (suggesting a cure) after adding Incivek to their care. In fact, the "virologic response" rate rose between 20 percent to 45 percent higher across all three studies and all patient groups, compared to standard medications alone, the FDA said.
Most patients on Incivek also saw a halving of the average time needed to achieve a good response to treatment from four years to just two years, according to the FDA. Ninety percent of these "early responders" achieved a sustained virologic response, the agency added.

Taking time away from the office has been shown to reduce stress and improve employee productivity. Bolstered by such positive statistics, some employers have taken a renewed look at their vacation policies to better fit increasingly diverse and often dispersed employee populations. EBN has compiled 5 unique approaches to vacation benefits that encourage employees to unwind and return to work with renewed vigor. (Images: Thinkstock)
Employers can pool vacation, sick and personal days, even holidays, in a single bank. Employees get off a certain amount of hours a year, and can use that time off anyway they like, without having to ration days for a specific purpose. They can take off the day or part of the day for whatever purpose, within the needs of the business.

if a company reported earnings and no one (except me) noticed, would they still count?
at 2pm. Look solid on a first read. Mgt. appears pleased. Book value now 398.
SPLS is still making real money, AMZN, TSLA and NFLX are the "fraud" stocks along with 3D printing companies. This too shall pass.
hi greendog -
how long have you been in IKNX? Don't care about splits. NIce buying late today.
Can't wait to find out what the new products are. Another solid Q.
I was looking at some wrong numbers. Mr. Nerges owns about 20% of the shares
(400,000 out of 2 MM) which is consistent with the last SEC DEF14 filing.
what family is that?
He owns 47% of the outstanding shares using the Yahoo Finance numbers.
Remember he has seen all of the company information under a Confidentiality Agreement.
Well Mr. Nerges owns about half of the float and he is not selling that I see. I do not mind the volatility gives a chance to add if you want.
Many have speculated that HALO will be acquired at some point. Roche has been the main thought. The trouble with a large Pharma buying a drug delivery company is that it discourages other large pharma companies. JNJ had this happen when they bought Alza, it killed activity with other pharma companies.
So how about Alkermes ( a drug delivery co. in process of becoming a speciality pharma co.) buying HALO?
Between the two they have the best drug delivery technologies for products that require injection/infusion.
Looks like these are finally bearing fruit per the earnings announcement out today.
My thoughts on SYNT

Sentiment: Strong Buy
BBSI pays the taxes up front as part of their payroll services and then bills clients.
With some profit taking and the drop in the stock price, it is no longer number one, but it remains a top 5 holding and also a very significant holding in my individual accounts.
Suggest you speak with Jim Miller for further details.
The projected loss for the next quarter has nothing to do with workers comp. BBSI reports a loss in this Q every year due to payroll tax payments.
The last adjustment for workers comp was in 2011. So these are not occurring every year as some have said.
I spoke to Jim Miller (CFO) yesterday and the company is working to improve the actuarial methods uses to project workers comp.
The loss is due to payroll tax payments. The more business they do the larger these payments are.
More specifically it appears to remove the issue with respect to California Senate Bill 863. As stated in their press release:
The arrangement with ACE addresses the requirements of California Senate Bill 863, under which the Company cannot continue its self-insurance program in California beyond January 1, 2015.
ACE also assumes responsibility for claims over $5 million as stated.
BBSI has been an expert in Workers Comp for many years. Their have been some occasional adjustments to reserves as we saw this month. We should hear more specifics from the company next week.
NWLI remains a top 5 position. I have been increasing cash levels overall (partly through sale of ARDNA which was bought out late 2013). Still staying with the quality companies. Making my buy list for when good values return.

Earl Powers' trash-to-ethanol plan sounded good in the same way that Star Trek teleportation sounded good. Maybe someday it would work out, but who really wants to be the test pilot for this new technology?
County recycling districts offer different service levels
With vastly differing budgets, the Lake County Solid Waste Management District and the Porter County Recycling and Waste Reduction District are worlds apart in what they can offer people who recycle.

Closing a landfill is not as simple as covering the garbage with dirt, planting grass, locking the gate and walking away.
Scheub to GOP: Meeting cancellation not a dodge of trash-to-ethanol issue
Politics had nothing — and everything — to do with last week's cancellation of a county solid waste board meeting, Lake County Commissioner Gerry Scheub said Monday.
Trash-to-ethanol debate pauses until after election
Some Lake County Republican officials are crying foul over the cancellation of last week's solid waste district meeting, dubbing it a possible political ploy to push a discussion past the general election.
Can trash-to-ethanol facility make it?
With yet another collapsed land deal, a fresh set of delays on financing decisions and a contract in limbo, some Lake County solid waste officials wonder if they are hearing the end of trash-to-ethanol.
EDITORIAL: Ethanol proposal continues to sputter
The Lake County Solid Waste Management District Board continues to drag its feet on the dormant trash-to-ethanol proposal, voting last week to give more time to the consortium of region contractors that has talked of buying out developer Earl Powers' stake in this project.
Hazardous waste drop-off is scheduled Saturday in Hobart
HOBART | The Lake County Solid Waste Management District is sponsoring a hazardous waste disposal day Saturday in Hobart.
EDITORIAL: Back to square one on solid waste disposal
As the Lake County Solid Waste Management District tries to determine which direction to turn next, the board members should recognize first where they are and how they got there.
Potential legal issues abound in trash-to-ethanol contract
Some Lake County solid waste officials said they are just as concerned by the legal risks of preserving the controversial trash-to-ethanol contract as the litigation that could result from canceling it.

Comments about Pittsburgh 6" Diagonal Cutters:
Bought these to help with the rewiring of my garage, but they just couldn't deliver. I was on a budget and in the mysterious dissapearence of my 'name brand' diag cutters i picked up these. First thing I did when I got home was try them out on 12-2 romex wire. The second thing I did when i got home was throw theses pliers in the garbage. If you need to cut thin wire buy these, otherwise anything over 18 gauge is annoying. Just shell out 20 bux for a decent set of cutters and don't lose them like me :/

About Me Professional
This product should be pulled off the shelves. I bought mine from the scherrerville location, and all pair looked the same. The cutter didn't meet up, had play, and couldn't even cut a zip, it just pinched it! DO NOT BUY!!

The Pros:Remote controls iPod well, allowing full access. Sound output quality is adequate for casual listening in a noisy environment (such as a kitchen). Full equalizer control through the remote. The Cons:No direct support for the iPhone. Included speakers not up to audio enthusiast standards. Programming FM stations is more difficult than on comparable units.
The Sony CMT-FX300i is a compact and portable shelf system designed for CD, MP3 and AM/FM radio playback. Featured is a single-disc CD tray, an AM/FM tuner, an audio input compatible with PC/Mac computers, and an integrated iPod docking station.
Loading latest prices from ProductWiki...
Unfortunately, the CMT-FX300i relies on direct wall power, which greatly reduces its ability to function as a portable music device for an on-the-go individual. Once hooked up in a suitable spot, however, the unit at least hosts a plethora of advanced functionalities such as an alarm clock, a bass boost function, and an advanced equalizer.

Steven Tyler, Aerosmith frontman for the chart topping rock bank has received the first completed Hennessey Venom GT. Based on the Lotus Exige, Steve asked the Hennessey tuning company if they could make it a roadster with the removable top. They customized the roll cage so that it would work, however this came with the addition of 30 lbs. Staying true to their one horsepower per one kilogram power to weight ratio, Steve got his Venom GT with a little extra juice.
Lotus had their Mansory tuned Evora at the Geneva Motor Show, and have now announced that the Mansory tuning company will be the official customization shop for future Lotus projects. Wolf Zimmerman stated, "Mansory are leaders in their field and having worked closely with them on the Evora GTE and the special editions we've unveiled recently". They are confident that this partnership will lead to many nice Lotus cars in the near future, and we can't wait to see what they can produce. The German tuners will soon have special editions for the Lotus Elise, Exige and Lotus Evora for those wanting a boost in performance or styling.
The Lotus Evora has long been known as an exotic masterpiece in the automotive world, and the 2011 Lotus Evora model is no exception. The Evora has brought home a showroom full of trophies this past year and has just added another boost to its prestige by taking home "Most fun Car to Drive" honors from U.S. magazine.
If the Lotus Elise isn't light enough for you, then look into having it tuned and cut up by Forced Fed in New York. This model is currently for sale in California, and has been converted into a track star with a ton of new parts totaling more than what the car is currently worth. To go along with the weight reduction, an Eaton supercharger, Alcon brakes, and Quaife differential have been installed on the Lotus Elise to boost the overall performance.
The new Hennessey tuned Lotus Exige called the Venom GT has been debuted at the McCall Motorworks Revival. This was part of the buildup for the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and features the Lotus supercar announcement with all of its 1,200 horsepower greatness. Hennessey plans to produce five of these cars per year at a price of $950,000 (€660,190 / £577,850). It may sound like a lot for a Lotus Exige, but with the sports car holding a 6.2-liter V8 powerplant producing 1,200 hp (895 kW / 1,217 PS) and 1,155 lb-ft (1,564 Nm) of torque, we are sure some car collectors will pick this beast up.

Welcome! We're Here to Help M-F 8-6 CST
We know the stress and uncertainty created by complicated tax and labor laws. The information here will clear up the confusion.
As a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), most individuals are required to have health insurance or face a monetary penalty. Families can provide or contribute to a policy for their household employees to help meet this mandate and it's a great benefit to offer. However, the PPACA does not require employers with fewer than 50 employees to offer a health insurance policy. But employers who choose to do so can benefit from a significant tax savings available through the Health Insurance Tax Credit for Small Employers.
Household employees that wish to purchase coverage on their own can do so through the federal health insurance exchange or the exchange in their state. Subsidies (insurance premium tax credits) will become available to U.S. citizens and legal immigrants with income up to 400% of the federal poverty level who purchase coverage in the new health insurance exchanges. The amount of the subsidy will vary based on income levels. We can help you determine the employee premium subsidies available in your situation.
Small employers (less than 50 employees) who contribute at least 50% to their employee's health insurance policy are entitled to a tax credit on that expense – provided the employee's compensation does not exceed $50,000 and the policy is purchased through SHOP (Small Business Health Options Program). So, in addition to being a non-taxable form of compensation (see Non-Taxable Compensation below), health insurance contributions made by an employer have the added benefit of savings from tax credits.
Household employers can receive a credit of up to 50% of their contribution. The total credit is determined by the average annual salary of the employees. At $25,000, the tax credit is 50% of the contribution. For example, if the Johnsons pay their nanny $25,000 and contribute $350 per month to her health insurance policy, their tax credit would be $2,100 ($350 x 12 = $4,200 x .50 = $2,100).
Additional Notes: As the average annual salary increases above $25,000, the tax credit percentage gradually decreases. In addition to the sliding tax credit percentage, each state has created a ceiling for the contribution portion of the formula based on that state's average premium cost.
If you'd like an estimate of your tax credit – based on your state ceiling and your tax credit percentage – just give us a call.

The UN has no experience in running a city. Most of the municipal responsibilities are mundane things like repairing potholes, maintaining a sanitary sewage system, 4th grade reading requirements, etc. And 99% percent of the time, those are the things that matter most to residents.
So the UN should start small. Pick a hamlet in, say, Kansas, and turn that over to UN control. See if they can run the post office and fire department and zoning laws better than representatives elected by the people.
If so, give them a major US city, Tampa or Detroit, to see how they do there.
If the UN can successfully manage these US cities, then I would agree that they should get a crack at Jerusalem.
Until the UN has demonstrated competence in running a city, Israel should maintain control of Jerusalem.
I think too many commenters are treating the opinion of a 16-year-old as if it came from the mouth of a tenured professor or senator. She needs education, not bile.
I agree with the commenters who counsel an adult to engage this feisty, intelligent young woman who cares about politics. My suggestion:
... you try being president in a country already in debt.Yes, you're right, being a president of a country already in debt is difficult. Which other presidents had to deal with this problem? [Answer: Washington - Obama].You try being a president when other countries are making nuclear bombs.I certainly wouldn't want to be president when other countries are building nuclear bombs. Which other presidents dealt with this issue? [Answer: Truman - Obama].What is your opinion of these other presidents, and how they handled these two difficult issues?
... you try being president in a country already in debt.
Yes, you're right, being a president of a country already in debt is difficult. Which other presidents had to deal with this problem? [Answer: Washington - Obama].
You try being a president when other countries are making nuclear bombs.
I certainly wouldn't want to be president when other countries are building nuclear bombs. Which other presidents dealt with this issue? [Answer: Truman - Obama].
What is your opinion of these other presidents, and how they handled these two difficult issues?
Some might call this a passive-aggressive way of a) respecting her opinion, while b) pointing out she needs to think about it more. Think of it as the Socratic Method, and then talk to her about Socrates (i.e. plant the seed and then change the subject)!
How precisely is first-time sex like voting for Obama? Losing one's virginity is usually an awkward, painful, somewhat embarrassing act performed by people who are pretty much ignorant of the subject matter.
Oh, wait...
Jacob, I understand where you're coming from, but disagree for two reasons.
1) The President's Constitutional mandate is to see that the laws are executed faithfully. Whether it's good policy or bad, whether you like it or not, Obamacare is the law of the land. Rather than granting more waivers, President Romney should eliminate the 1000+ waivers already granted.
2) Eliminating the existing waivers will make the bill more unpopular, and thus increase pressure on Congress to repeal it. The President can encourage and negotiate, but has no power to repeal a law.
Basically, I'm uncomfortable allowing the President to have the authority deciding who does and does not have to obey Congressionally passed laws. Even if I like and trust him and his waiver benefits me.
The penultimate panel is in error. The alliterative ticket of Stevenson/Sparkman lost to Eisenhower/Nixon in 1952.
Hey, it's only a comic. And a darned clever one.
Scene: Uncle Sam kneeling on a Koran in church.
"Unless you are absolutely convinced that all of America is against you as a Muslim, you should only see it as me treating the Koran reverently."
How many people would buy that?
Low priority but fun change: Right now, if the VP - President of the Senate - is impeached, he is required to preside over his own Senate trial.
That should probably be changed.
Going science fiction on you!
David Brin's "Earth" (1990). There's a coming of age chapter where a young, immature man is working in a baboon enclosure when he notices the baboons are threatening a small baboon mother and her baby. She elicits his help, which he doesn't want to give. The 9 male baboons to give him a chance to run away while they do their baboon execution. This is when he becomes a man. He sticks by her side and declares "We humans almost wrecked this planet; we may yet save it. You don't mess with guys who can do [stuff] like that. OK, it's 9 against 2. That sounds about right." Here, search for 'baboons' and scroll to page 93.
Kim Stanley Robinson's "Red Mars" (1993). The First Man on Mars has just died. The settlers sit around and recall his life, good and bad. Then the narrative changes to the mythology of Mars, showing how humans love to create a weird and wondrous past. Includes a dual between the Martian Big Man and Paul Bunyan. (Not available in preview.)
Weird, yes, but I keep rereading both these set-pieces.
So this guy advertises for someone to repaint his porch. The only one who shows up is a woman who really looks like a dumb blond. Not wanting to be a chauvinistic pig, he shows her the sandpaper, paint, brushes, etc., gives her the job and says he'll pay her when he gets back from work. About an hour later, she calls him and says she's finished! Delighted that he didn't misjudge her, the guy says, "If you're willing to wait a few hours for the paint to dry and put on a second coat, I'll double your pay when I get home." She agrees and later in the day calls to tell him that the job is done. He complements her on her industry and hard work and will recommend her to his friends. She thanks him and says, "By the way, it's a Lamborghini, not a Porsche."
Apologies if the previous and next blonde jokes offend the Richochet CoC. I'm kinda new here, but like to believe that conservatives are healthy enough to enjoy non-PC humor.
Either way, I don't know any others, so I promise it won't happen again.
... also, you don't know my gender or hair color :-)
(...continued)'No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit!' she says.
'Honestly, ma'am,' the blonde says, 'it cost nothing. You see, a deceased gentleman of about your husband's size was brought in shortly after you left yesterday, and he was wearing an attractive blue suit.
I asked his wife if she minded him going to his grave wearing a black suit instead, and she said it made no difference as long as he looked nice.'
'So I just switched the heads.'
A man who'd just died is delivered to a local mortuary wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black suit.
The female blonde mortician asks the deceased's wife how she would like the body dressed. She points out that the man does look good in the black suit he is already wearing.
The widow, however, says that she always thought her husband looked his best in blue, and that she wants him in a blue suit. She gives the blonde mortician a blank check and says, 'I don't care what it costs, but please have my husband in a blue suit for the viewing.'
The woman returns the next day for the wake. To her delight, she finds her husband dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle chalk stripe; the suit fits him perfectly...
She says to the mortician, 'Whatever this cost, I'm very satisfied... You did an excellent job and I'm very grateful. How much did you spend?'
To her astonishment, the blonde mortician presents her with the blank check.
'There's no charge,' she says.

The sports-touring Honda CBR1000F was always in the shadow of more exciting motorcycles, yet had a decade long production run. It had its good points, such as a comfortable riding position, good build quality - except for early camchain tensioner problems - and respectable handling. But the Honda CBR1000F is so bland it makes Katie Melua look like a brazen rock chick.

The Honda NTV650 isn't just about frugal motoring, a quality build and endless reliability. Because somehow Honda segued in a cheeky charm and a handling package that has to be ridden to be believed. Most Honda NTV650s will be a little tired after a decade or more on the streets but at the right price they're simply superb motorcycles.

Former Jacksonville City Councilman Matthew Carlucci is the newest member of the Florida Ethics Commission.
Gov. Rick Scott named Carlucci to the panel on Thursday.
He replaces Cheryl Forchilli, a Tampa lawyer who had been appointed by former Gov. Charlie Crist.
Carlucci, a 55-year-old insurance agent, served on the city council from 1987 to 1994 and again from 1999 through 2003.
As a council member he pushed for strong ethics laws and creation of a city ethics office.
His late father, Joe Carlucci, was a state senator.
Carlucci's appointment is subject to Senate confirmation, but he can serve while waiting for the chamber to act.

It was back in May that we brought you the news of Late Model Racecraft's 1500 hp twin turbo Corvette ZR1 that ran 231 mph at the Texas Mile to claim the title as World's Fastest Corvette in the Standing Mile. Not content to rest on their laurels, the Houston-based tuner has turned some wrenches on another Corvette ZR1 which they claim is now the fastest Corvette ZR1 in the world!
If there is a "one size fits all" gift we can recommend for your favorite Corvette enthusiast, it's the DVD documentary called "The Quest". Based on the story of Corvette's first win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, "The Quest" tells the story of how one man's dream to find and restore the winning Le Mans race car was cut short and how his son set out to fulfill his dad's dream of returning the Corvette to Le Mans with its original driver to mark the 50th anniversary of its historic win.
Over the last few days, we've been on the receiving end of some pretty interesting rumors regarding Corvette Racing. About this time every year, Fehan and the team review their driver lineups for the coming season and decisions are made on which drivers will be offered full time rides vs the part time endurance races. What we've been hearing so far is that Antonio Garcia will become a full-time driver for the Corvette Racing team. Multiple unconfirmed reports are listing Olivier Beretta as the driver that Garcia will be replacing.
We can debate all day long on whether the ability to slide your car around corners with the tires spinning and a huge cloud of smoke is a real form of "racing". But where we will probably find agreement in is that the art of drifting is definitely something that takes a lot of practice to do right. The Smoking Tire's Matt Farah has spent many hours behind the wheel of various autos and even he admitted to not having a clue on how to properly drift. So he headed to the Bondurant School of High Performance Driving where Formula Drift newcomer Corey Hosford was ready for a full day of instruction.
Three new Chevrolet Corvette Daytona Prototypes arrived in Daytona for two days of testing at the International Speedway as the GRAND-AM series prepares for its season opener at the 50th Anniversary Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 28-29, 2012. Joining the No. 90 Spirit of Daytona Corvette DP that made its public debut last month was the white No. 10 SunTrust Racing Corvette DP, and two entries from Action Express Racing, the No. 5 and No. 9 Corvette DPs also turned their first laps.
Two icons of sports car racing will be inducted into the Sebring Hall of Fame in March. Johnny O'Connell and the Chevrolet Corvette were named as part of the 2012 group of inductees into America's greatest sports car race hall of fame. The induction ceremony will take place on Friday, March 16 at the Chateau Elan Hotel which overlooks the historic race circuit.
Autocrossing your Corvette is great way to have some fun in your car in a safe and controlled environment. Most courses are laid out to keep speeds down and drivers rely on technique to complete the course. But just because speeds are lower than other track events doesn't mean that one wrong move can come back to bite you as one Corvette driver found out at the Speed Ventures autocross event.
Apparently this video went viral while I was incommunicado over the Thanksgiving holiday. Two Silver Corvettes, a C6 and C5, were lined up at a stop light in the Houston neighborhood of The Woodlands. The motorist behind the duo gets a bad feeling about what is going to happen when the lights go green and starts filming. Sure enough, the race ends badly for both drivers and cars and now police have issued warrants for their arrest.
With much fanfare, Chevrolet unveiled the new Corvette Daytona Prototype last Tuesday at the Daytona International Speedway. The next day, Spirit of Daytona driver Antonio Garcia had the honor of turning the first laps during the GRAND-AM Rolex Series test day. Those laps were captured on video and you can see (and hear) the new Corvette-branded race car after the jump.
We've been hearing rumblings in recent weeks that Chevrolet was set to unveil a new prototype car for the 2012 racing season. Yesterday at the storied Daytona International Speedway, those rumors gave way to the real deal as Chevy pulled back the cover on an all new 2012 Corvette Daytona Prototype. The new Corvette Daytona Prototype will make its racing debut in the 50th anniversary of the GRAND-AM Road Racing Series Rolex 24 at Daytona next January 26-29, 2012.

Abstract | Research on the aspirations of people with intellectual disabilities documents the importance of alternative zones of inclusion where they can assert their own definitions of ability and normality. This stands in contrast to assumptions concerning technology and disability that position technology as 'normalizing' the disabled body. This paper reports on the role of a digital music jamming tool in providing access to creative practice by people with intellectual disabilities. The tool contributed to the development of a spatio-temporal zone to enable aesthetic agency within and beyond the contexts of deinstitutionalized care. The research identifies the interactions between tools, individuals and groups that facilitated participants' agency in shaping the form of musical practice. Furthermore, we document the properties of emergent interaction − supported by a tool oriented to enabling music improvisation − as potentially resisting assumptions regarding normalization. |

Dwyane Wade Helps Show Ejected Fan Out (VIDEO) | ||||
A fan sitting courtside at the Utah Jazz versus Miami Heat game last night was ejected late in the third quarter - and had some assistance from the Heat's Dwyane Wade, who helped guide the fan in the right direction. There are conflicting reports as to why the fan was ejected, some say that he was abusive towards Wade, while others say it was the referees who copped the brunt of his alleged tirades. Either way, the NBA doesn't stand for drunk and disorderly behavior so the fan was shown the door. After the game Wade praised the Utah fans however.
"They're very competitive here and they bring out the best in other teams. We enjoy every time we come here,'' Wade said. ''It's a tough place to play. It's a tough place to breathe, first of all. Once you get over that, then you've gotta play the game. It's always tough, but it's always enjoyable," he added. "This is one place that if you walk out of here with a win, you feel very, very good about yourself.'" |

The island of Japan has been endowed with some of the most breathtaking scenery and impressive natural wonders in the entire world. This island nation offers a total of 30 national parks that visitors can explore to get to know the landscape of this intriguing island nation. National parks have been in existence on the island of Japan since the year 1931, and the major goal of distinguishing national parks is to preserve areas of great scenic beauty so that people from all over the world can come to enjoy them. Keep in mind that it's often a more affordable solution to visit national parks than to spend time in the city. The national parks offered in the nation feature many different natural wonders, including marshes, beaches, coasts, marine habitats, volcanoes, and much more. Recreational opportunities abound in these natural areas, and visitors to Japan will find opportunities to fish, dive, snorkel, boat, hike, and much more by visiting the national parks of Japan.
The following are four major Japanese national parks that visitors to the country might consider visiting if they want to explore the wild, undeveloped attractions that Japan has to offer:
Nikko National Park
The Nikko National Park stretches out over 200,000 acres and offers a variety of interesting attractions, such as the Toshogu Shrine and the majestic cedars. The Toshogu Shrine offers a majestic mausoleum that leaves a strong impression on visitors.
Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park
Of course, any visit to Japan should include a glimpse of Mount Fuji. The Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park includes the world-famous Japanese mountain that has captured the imagination of many artists and writers throughout history.
Akan National Park
This park is notorious for the variety of recreational activities that visitors can enjoy. These include skiing, hiking, fishing, and more. The park is especially attractive for watersports that can be enjoyed in the mountain lakes that dot the landscape. Be prepared for the recreational opportunities by purchasing outdoors equipment before your trip.
Seto-Naikai National Park
This park is often also referred to as "Inland Sea" National Park due to the fact that it includes an enormous body of water with many islands and miles of coastline to explore.

Pictures of a sunset in Avon Lake and quotes for thought
My early years were spent growing up in and around Athens, Kentucky, the last of 10 children. The emotions expressed in my books are of my personal trials and experiences. In addition, much of what I have written concerns the trials and experiences of people with whom I speak every day. I have found that empathy is one of my best tools in capturing what others are feeling and allows me to write to fit many needs.

What was the effects of WWII on Victory Bonds?
Topic: History
What was the effects of WWII on Victory Bonds?
2 Answers | add yours
I do not really think that this is a proper way to phrase the question. This is because World War II did not really have any effect on Victory Bonds. Instead, World War II caused Victory Bonds to exist -- if it had not been for the war, there would have been no bonds.
The whole purpose of selling Victory Bonds was to raise money for the war effort. So if there is no war effort, there are no bonds.
So, the war made the bonds necessary and the bonds helped to finance the war. But I would not say that the war affected the bonds.

ISO 14031:2013 gives guidance on the design and use of environmental performance evaluation (EPE) within an organization. It is applicable to all organizations, regardless of type, size, location and complexity.
ISO 14031:2013 does not establish environmental performance levels.
The guidance in ISO 14031:2013 can be used to support an organization's own approach to EPE, including its commitments to compliance with legal and other requirements, the prevention of pollution, and continual improvement.
