Scout.com: Two Aggie Dudes Kissing after a TD
Holy crap
There are no Aggie jokes, only Aggie stories!
What doesn't this only confirm what most of us knew anyway?
Oh how cute, are they cousins?
Should be interesting to see where some of the other Texas schools take this little gem on their message boards
I think it's a couple of cheerleaders ya know.
It's a good thing that camera shot is from the stomach up because I'm thinking there was a mason jar involved down below.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Must have been red rectum!
Not sure whats more creepy.
The kiss, or the guy in the background.

Katy Perry and John Mayer don't need to say it ... they're definitely an item.
The pair have been spotted all over town recently and last night ... our photog caught them coming out of a house party in Los Feliz. Not a lot of recording sessions done at house parties in Los Feliz.
The couple(?) didn't say a word -- and neither has commented publicly on the relationship(?) -- but come on ... we know what's up.
John Mayer does it again.
He's been with all her friends and now she wants some of him too? I think the only nice one at the LEAST was to Jessica Simpson calling out how she is in bed. I guess soon we'll know the useless info about Katy too.
i have come to somewhat of a conclusion about john. he is not a nice boyfriend and seems to do a lot of heart breaking.
he also, lately. seems to be going out with singer/songwriters.
maybe he likes songs written about him.
just like a child starving for attention. they don't care if it's positive or negative. they just want attention.
i'm thinking that may be the case with him.
he must have a really great personality because he's not the most attractive of guys (to me anyways) and he comes across sometimes as a bit of a douche.... yet he ropes in all these women---like i said, in real life he must be quite the charmer....
katy, on the other hand, seems to like the playboys....
They are not dating! They are just in an exclusive relationship with sex! How can you mix that up?
Phishie from Philly
Like Mike Myers and Dana Carvey said in their movie "Wayne's World" .... he's NOT WORTHY of having a super hot, super talented girl like Katy Perry.
I always wondered what kind of woman would go out and date a man who treated women like sh*t and say so of the most terrible and cruel things about them. Well Hello Miss Perry, I thought you were smarter then that.
What in the world is wrong with her? Does she not know the man's track record? Katy should prepare for the inevitable embarrassing song John will write about her when they break up.
I wonder if John Mayer has really changed all that much since the days when he was dating Jennifer Anniston and Taylor Swift a few years ago. He's apparently a "love em and leave em" kind of guy that leaves behind a bunch of bitter women once he moves on from them. He's one of those guys that has been living the rock and roll lifestyle of excess everything for a long time. He's been a fairly popular star for about 10 years now I think. Old habits die hard you know.
I knew her taste in men was questionable but this is low. Dating a racist shows a lot about her.
I wonder if Katy is seeing a "new and improved John Mayer". Never know. Watch the video for John's new song called "Shadow Days". He sings about being a changed man. He moved to Montana for awhile a couple years ago. Maybe "big sky" country has chilled him out and he doesn't want to screw women over anymore like he used to.
Even the worst "bad boys" who partied super hard in their 20s sometimes chill out once they get into their 30s and think about wanting to settle down with a woman and maybe have kids. John better treat Katy right or I guarantee you that she's going to move on to someone new in a heartbeat. I'm sure she knows that she could get nearly any single guy out there if she half tried to do it.
This sadly shows what low self esteem Katy has. Women like her LOVE to have others tell em how they could do much better than a putz like this twerp. Still, I have envy that he gets to 'motorboat' those fun bags!
There is nothing wrong with dating someone if you go into the arrangement with open eyes. She must know she is just going to be another notch on his belt. But no woman ever seems to realize that they are no different than the last chic he dated. It's only a matter of time. But, too each her own I guess.

Saudi Arabia 'can maintain current spending'
Riyadh, January 22, 2013
Saudi Arabia is able to maintain its current level of government spending in the medium term and beyond, Finance Minister Ibrahim Alassaf said on Tuesday.
Asked whether strong growth in government spending was sustainable, Alassaf told reporters: "We have the...ability to continue this scale of spending."
"We have the reserves, as well as we are reducing our debt almost to zero. So we can continue in the medium term and even beyond that," he stated.

Comeback #4 Review
Brisson ups his game in Comeback's penultimate issue.
Writer Ed Brisson is a tricksy hobbit and following the events of Comeback can sometimes feel like an exercise in mental acrobatics, which isn't to say that it isn't a fun ride. While enjoyable, the series is challenging on a level that few books are, which is, ultimately, a good thing. Issue #4 sees the pieces of the puzzle begin to fall together as FBI agent Simon Tanaka closes in on his prey in both the past and present day. While Tanaka inches closer to the answers he's after, poor Seth finds himself with even more questions, with his well-meaning but overwhelmed partner Mark unwillingly pulled along for the ride. But Brisson isn't interested in making it easy for his readers, as the past gets messier and the present begins to crumble under the weight of all that meddling.
Moral ambiguity is the story's strong suit and it plays out nicely in the grab bag of characters Brisson has created. The hired gun Owen is undeniably not a good guy but neither is he malicious. There's a fine line between evil and extreme pragmatism and Owen treads it adroitly. Seth and Mark are both seemingly intent on doing the right thing even if the road to righteousness is nigh impossible to find. Likewise, Agent Tanaka is a man on a mission and he just might be the type of man willing to shake hands with the devil to get it done.
Michael Walsh's rough-edged art suits the increasingly frenetic pace of the narrative and it lends it a gritty flavor that doesn't feel overdone. Jordie Bellaire continues to be the queen of coloring and her palette is minimal and muted when it needs to be and vibrant and rich as the situation calls for it. The visuals are particularly well played at the issue's end, when a series of game-changing time hijinks sets up the final chapter in such a way that it's virtually impossible to predict where Brisson is going to go next. And that's very much a good thing.

Geron Bails Out of Stem Cells
15 November 2011 1:09 pm
Geron, the company that helped pioneer human embryonic stem (hES) cell research, said yesterday that it is stopping its first-in-the-world clinical trial and pulling out of further stem cell work. The company, based in Menlo Park, California, will instead concentrate on its anticancer therapies, CEO John Scarlett said in a statement. "Deciding to move out of the stem cell business was a very difficult decision to make," he told investors and journalists this morning.
Geron helped to fund the work of James Thomson at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, who in 1998 was the first to isolate hES cells. That agreement gave the company exclusive licenses for a number of hES cell patents. Last year, it launched the world's first clinical trial, which was designed to treat eight patients with spinal cord injury, using neuronal cells derived from hES cells. Four have been treated so far, and Geron says it will continue following them. It will not enroll any new patients, however. The company returned a $6.5 million loan from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), a taxpayer-funded body set up to support research on stem cells, especially hES cells. CIRM agreed earlier this year to loan Geron up to $25 million to fund the trial.
Scarlett, who joined the company in late September, said the decision allows Geron to continue operating without raising new money for the next year and a half, when it expects results from a half-dozen phase II trials of two cancer drugs. As part of the stem cell downsizing, the company will cut 66 full-time positions, 38% of its workforce.
Stephen Kelsey, Geron's chief medical officer, said in the conference call that so far patients showed neither significant side effects nor any improvement in their condition. Given the small scale of the study, he said, stopping early may not be such a loss. "We applied for and received permission to run a very small safety study with a low dose of cells," he said. "We're halfway through, and the data have been remarkably consistent. We will be reporting the results, and it will be a fair reflection of what would have happened if we had completed the study."
Some observers had reservations about the trial from the start, worrying that the animal results were not strong enough to justify a human trial. But many had been pulling for the company nonetheless. "It's with a sense of loss that I see this news," says Roger Pedersen of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, who was one of the researchers to receive funding from Geron in the mid-1990s to attempt to derive hES cells. He says the company may be reacting not only to the long timeline to bring cell therapies to the clinic, but also to a possible weakening of its intellectual property portfolio. The development of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, which are adult cells genetically reprogrammed to resemble embryonic ones, means that Geron's exclusive licenses may be worth less. "Advances in the stem cell field are disruptive innovations that have the potential to supercede earlier innovations, hES cells being one of those. I don't know if Geron looks at it that way, but I do," Pedersen says.

I knew a trickster once.
A wide-eyed wonder,
seeing nothing and feeling everything.
He nipped at the Moon's skirts,
chasing her across the sky Knightly.
Honor, old and dusty to him.
All debts paid in heart coin.
Latest Entries »
Save that which I set.
My watchword, the company I keep.
Mirrors in the faces that surround me.
These people hail from lands far and near.
The Road is closed.
I have forgotten the direction.
Detour signs constantly leading me astray.
New houses, no Home while I roam.
Truth dances up ahead, heat waves on tarmac.
Dharma the empty word.
Discipline long absent these days.
Does the cry of havoc damn?
Dogs already loose, gnawing my fretful mind.
Dawn never ready to illuminate the dark confusion.
Forced march, tuneless, footsore.
The Muse is on holiday.
She's left me no forwarding address.
Hollow sounds and empty words have no weight.
Trading inspiration for wine to make fire in my belly.
Shit flows from my lips, unceasing.
Self indulgence follows, self importance 'round circles.
I'm sick of myself.
Weak, faulted to the core.

The Story Bones,
Rattling through my Brane.
Twice told tales,
Driving me to sane.

Rhyming diameter.A parrot could do better.
Cry freedom from these fetters!
This shite will not cease!
Words, not mine to release,
Upon my forehead they do crease.
I know I shall never find peace.
Camden, London 2010
Oh the ludicrous humor of life.
We strut and preen.
We stroke our hair.
Filling our faces, a fracas of feces.
Do we know or even care?
Where is redemption?

The oil industry has recently developed technology to allow oil companies to extract large amounts of oil from oil shale fields that had not previously been commercially viable. This has opened up a plethora of new oil shale fields for development, and the number of fields is growing larger every day. These new technology oil fields represent approximately 70% of drilling (natural gas and oil) in the continental U.S. The new horizontal wells require 3 to 5 times more oil services (such as fracking) than the conventional vertical wells with longer total job duration (Key Energy Services).
All this has created a secular bull market in U.S. lower 48 oil services. The huge growth in work to do has translated into huge growth for oil service companies, especially the smaller, more nimble ones. Some of the fastest growing of these are Helmerich & Payne Inc. (HP), RPC Inc. (RES), Key Energy Services Inc. (KEG), and Calfrac Well Services Ltd. (CFW.TO in Canada or OTCPK:CFWFF in the U.S.).
HP views itself as the leader of this smaller oil services contingent. HP asserts that the industry is undersupplied with high performance AC drive rigs, which are better suited to the new drilling being done. HP is a leader in the replacement effort. The BHI chart below indicates how extensive the shift to horizontal drilling has been.
click to enlarge
For this horizontal drilling AC drive rigs are the best performers. However, only 25% of the active rigs in the US land market are AC drive rigs currently. HP has 42% of this market share. Fully 82% of HP's US land rigs are AC FlexRigs. This has helped HP gain market share in the US land market. In 2001 HP had only about 5% of the US land market. As of 2010 it had about 11% of the market. The chart below shows HP's outperformance in growing business in the US land rig market.
The chart below shows HP's relative out performance in increasing operating margin. Its leadership in the AC drive rig area (described above) has helped allow it to charge premium rates, especially since these rigs tend to drill at a much faster rate. Another reason HP can charge more is its customer base. It does about 80% of its business with major oil companies or large operators. Many other companies do nearly 50% of their business with smaller operators. They tend to want to scrimp on costs more.
RES is another growing small services company. It was spun off from Patterson in 1984, It is a different company than HP, which is mostly a drilling company. The chart below describes RES's businesses distribution best.
As you can see a lot of the revenues come from Pressure Pumping. The chart below describes RES' quarterly revenues growth in Pressure Pumping since 2000. The grow has been fantastic for the last two years as the new oil shale fields have accelerated oil service development.
The above has really helped RES recover from the recession. However, the chart below shows that it has demonstrated good growth over the last ten years with a CAGR of 20%.
KEG Is probably in between HP and RES in what it does. The chart below shows the percentage breakup of its services.
The new horizontal drilling for oil shale fields is driving drilling expansion, but it is driving well completion services such as fracking even more. The chart below shows the industry growth in both completion revenues and drilling revenues.
The completion services are expected to more than double from 2009 to 2012, while the drilling services are only supposed to grow by about 50%. KEG is positioned to benefit from this growth distribution. Its historical 30% CAGR in international revenue growth has been impressive over the last seven years. For the near term we may see faster growth in the US. The horizontal drillers are tending to go to higher and higher numbers of fracking stages. The chart below gives an indication of why this is.
As you can see the IP rates go up as the number of stages is increased. The above chart was for natural gas fracking, but the same is also true of oil development fracking. This new technology complexity is also increasing KEG's fishing and rental revenue opportunity per well. The company should continue to do well.
CFW.TO is another mostly fracking company with fracking accounting for 90% of its revenues. Of course, with the new technology fracking has evolved to 30%-60% of the well cost (from 10%-15%). The following chart for North American rig drilling type shows why this may be so.
From 2005-2010 CFW.TO has managed a CAGR of 24%. In 2010 Canada and the U.S. have led the revenue growth (vs. international), accounting for 86% of all revenues. With so much of its business in low political risk areas, the profits and growth of this company are secure. The chart below shows how the acceleration in the US and Canadian growth (from the new oil shale fields mostly) has helped CFW.TO's overall revenue growth.

All of the above stocks look like good investments. Some look better than others. HP looks like the most mature and dependable. Plus it has the highest 5 year EPS % growth estimate per annum -- 23.53%. CFW.TO has the highest predicted one year percentage gain. It missed estimates on earnings last quarter. However, that is only disturbing until you realize that its FY2012 estimates were increased from $3.55 to $4.58 in the last 90 days. For all of the other stocks FY2012 estimates were either flat or lowered in the last 90 days. To me this means CFW.TO is a great grower. It also has the lowest FPE at 6.93. KEG and RES both have their good points.
On a technical basis all of these stocks are at or near overbought levels on their slow stochastic sub charts. However, they all likely are still oversold longer term from the big plunge in the markets over the summer. CFW.TO looks like it has been in a long term consolidation pattern. It may be ready to break out of this. If the market cooperates this may happen. The Greeks have made progress over the weekend. They have agreed on a coalition government to approve the bailout package. PM Papandreou has agreed to stand down. This is good news from Greece. However, now the markets are starting to turn their attention to Italy, which is a much bigger worry -- a much bigger economy. One will have to watch carefully to see how this issue evolves. The EFSF may play a big part. However, part of the problem is that the solution for Italy's high bond yields (borrowing rates) has not been unraveled yet.
Legging in is a good strategy in such troubled times. Keeping some of you powder dry is also a good idea.

RAJPUT , a See also: race of See also: India, not confined to See also: Rajputana, but spread over the N. of the country
According to the census of 1901 there were 9,712,156 Rajputs in all India, of whom only 620,229 lived in Rajputana
The See also: great majority adhere to the See also: Hindu See also: religion, but 1,875,387 are entered as Mahommedans
The Rajputs See also: form the fighting, landowning and ruling caste
They claim to be the See also: modern representatives of the Kshatriyas of See also: ancient tradition; but their early See also: history is obscure, and See also: recent research supports the view that they include descendants of more than one See also: wave of immigrant invaders
Linguistic evidence supports tradition in proving that their unity was broken up by the See also: Mahommedan See also: conquest, for the inhabitants of the Himalayan valleys still speak a language akin to those of Rajputana proper, though separated from them by the wide Gangetic valley
The Rajputs are See also: fine, brave men, and retain the feudal See also: instinct strongly See also: developed
See also: Pride of See also: blood is their chief characteristic, and they are most punctilious on all points of See also: etiquette
The tradition of See also: common ancestry permits a poor Rajput See also: yeoman to consider himself as well See also: born as any powerful landholder of his clan, and See also: superior to any high official of the professional classes
No race in India can boast of finer feats of arms or brighter deeds of chivalry, and they form one of the See also: main recruiting See also: fields for the See also: Indian army of to-See also: day
They consider any occupation other than that of arms or See also: government derogatory to their dignity, and consequently during the long See also: period of See also: peace which has followed the establishment of the See also: British See also: rule in India they have been content to stay idle at home instead of taking up any of the other professions in which they might have come to the front
Those who are not zamindars have, therefore, rather dropped behind in the modern struggle for existence
As cultivators they are lazy and indifferent, and they prefer pastoral to agricultural pursuits . Looking upon allSee also: manual labour as humiliating, none but the poorest class of Rajput will himself hold the plough
Within the limits of Rajputana the Rajputs form a vast See also: body of kindred, and any Rajput can marry any Rajput woman who does not belong to his own clan
The most numerous of the clans is the Rahtor, to which the chiefs of Marwar, See also: Bikanir and See also: Kishangarh belong
Its strength in roof was 122,160
Next comes the Kachwaha clan, which is strong in See also: Jaipur and See also: Alwar, both chiefs belonging to its members
It numbers 100,186
The Chauhan follows with an aggregate of 86,460, among whom are the chiefs of See also: Bundi, See also: Kotah and See also: Sirohi
The Jadu or Jadon, which includes in its ranks the chiefs of See also: Karauli and See also: Jaisalmer, numbers 94,666
The Sisodhyias, who include the ancient and illustrious See also: house of See also: Udaipur, number 51,366
The Ponwar clan, to which See also: Vikramaditya, the celebrated See also: king of
See also: Ujjain, from whom the Hindu Era is named, is said to have belonged, numbers 43,435• The Solanki and Parihar clans, once powerful, are now only 18,949 and 9448 respectively

(This is my personal opinion and how I interpreted the lyrics, if you don't agree then that's ok :)
Ok so its no secret that Bang and Himchan are close friends (same age). They've been sleeping in the same room since predebut. Also since TS arranges the boys by their ages (This is how the 'golden couples' were created) they get to share hotel rooms when they promote overseas and they also get free time together. Bang said that Himchan is the person that keeps all members together in B.A.P. Himchan said Bang is B.A.P's motivation. So you can imagine how important Himchan is to Bang and the other way around.
Come up with your own conclusion but this one is mine. The song fits the whole situation with Himchan perfectly.

... our time here in Uniclo (for Ben and then Sephora for Alex and I. Next stop, the old part of Shanghai that has now become a shopping Mecca for people wanting Traditional Chinese trinkets.

But it was nice to bargain and feel like we were somewhere unique. We ate in a Chinese style food court before heading back to the bus. ...

Apart from a couple of Chinese ladies on the plane that wouldnt hand Aadi back after she'd clearly had enough, no one has insisted they hold her. But one woman did chase us down the street to ask us how much we'd sell our baby for. Speaking of dollars.

That's all for now. I miss home terribly, it's very hard for me to imagine how I will make it through 9 more months of this. But, I'm determined to not give up!
Until next time.

Instead, Cubin joined forces with Rep. Nick J. Rahall, D-W.Va., on a different proposal.
Like Bush, Cubin and Rahall want to free up the certified states' share of unappropriated AML money for states with bigger abandoned mine problems. Like Bush, they would distribute the new money to states based on their pre-1977, historic coal production, a proxy for the amount of old mine sites.
But Cubin and Rahall would pay off certified states' unappropriated past taxes with money from mineral leases on federal lands.
In addition, certified states like Wyoming would continue to receive an amount equal to their half-share of future AML taxes. This money would also come from federal mineral leases.
"The states and [American Indian] tribes entered into an agreement with the federal government premised on their receiving at a minimum a 50 percent return on their contributions to the program," Rahall said during a March hearing. "Cubin-Rahall maintains the integrity of those agreements. The administration does not."
Neither proposal has gotten very far in Congress.
A new problem?
When Bush administration officials talk about the problems created by the 50-50 split in AML money, it sounds like something new.
During a Senate hearing in March, Jarrett said that during "the early years of the program, [the split] didn't cause a considerable problem."
But OSM officials have worried about the problem for years. In an unpublished 1990 report, the agency said lawmakers should consider reducing the share that Western states get back once they are certified.
Also, lawmakers knew from the start that the Western production shift was coming. In fact, lawmakers wrote the 50-50 split in part for just that reason.
During the debate on the strip-mining bill, lawmakers knew the most serious abandoned mine problems were in the East and Midwest. They also knew that much of the new growth predicted for the coal industry would be in the strip mines of the West.
For example, the House report on the strip-mining law showed that only 3 percent of the land disturbed by pre-1977 mining was in the six Western states of Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. At the same time, those same states contained 58 percent of the "available strippable reserves" of coal.
To address these Western concerns, and get Western lawmakers to support passage of the law, states were promised one-half of their AML taxes. Then-Sen. John Melcher, D-Mont., has taken credit for adding the 50-50 split to the bill.
Paying for other industries
Wyoming and other Western states have also benefited greatly from a provision in the strip-mining law that allowed AML money to be spent to reclaim noncoal mines. In the past, far more Western land was damaged from the mining of other minerals than from coal mining.
States, almost exclusively in the West, have spent more than $272 million in AML money on such projects. Wyoming has spent by far the most, more than $168 million, according to OSM records. Colorado is next, with more than $33 million, the records show.
The coal industry's per-ton tax funds cleanups of gold, copper and other minerals mining. Those other industries pay no such tax to help reclaim the sins of their past.
'We should have caught these things'
Earlier this year, the Gazette obtained an OSM inventory of Wyoming's AML spending and a state Department of Environmental Quality list of AML-funded infrastructure projects.
The two lists didn't match. The OSM listed projects the state didn't. The state listed projects the OSM knew nothing about.
The OSM's Padgett ordered an audit, and last month produced a new list. It showed $90 million in infrastructure projects funded with AML money - more than either of the original state or federal lists.
Padgett said he has ordered his staff to keep a closer watch on such spending in the future.
"It is embarrassing," Padgett said. "This should have been correct, and we should have caught these things through normal oversight."
Updating the inventory
While OSM officials were trying to figure out how much Wyoming had spent on schools and sewer systems, state representatives were demanding more AML money from Congress.
During a March Senate hearing, Wyoming AML administrator Evan Green dropped a bombshell. Green told lawmakers that an investigation by his agency had discovered more than 1,700 abandoned mine sites no one knew about before.
With new aerial photography and sophisticated computer mapping, Green said, Wyoming officials are "for the first time" getting a "comprehensive overview" of their state's AML problems.
"The cost for remaining work in Wyoming will greatly exceed the funds delivered under the administration's proposal, and will likely exceed hundreds of millions of dollars," Green told senators.
Green's announcement, though, should not have surprised anyone.
Wyoming's unfunded AML inventory has been creeping up since the state hired a contractor to update it in 1999.
In 1995, the OSM listed less than $500,000 in unfunded AML projects. But by 2000, it had increased its inventory to $13.5 million. At the end of last year, it was $41.7 million.
In an interview, Green said many of the newly identified sites really are new problems. Residential areas expand, moving closer to previously isolated abandoned mines. In underground mines, aging timbers give way, causing new ground subsidence.
"To me, it's frustrating to have people make the assumption that, because we are certified, we don't have any more coal sites," Green said. "There are going to be coal mine-related hazards in Wyoming forever."
Padgett, the OSM official, is not so sure. He promises to scrutinize Wyoming's new inventory and make sure all the entries are justified.
"I'm going to hold their feet to the fire on that," Padgett said.
Tuesday in the Gazette: Environmentalists and some state officials are pushing to divert more AML money away from sites that threaten health and safety.

Phillip Phillips "Home" Makes American Idol History, Bows at #2 on Digital Chart Phillip Phillip's coronation single, "Home" bows at #2 on the Billboard Digital Songs chart this week with 278,000 downloads sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's also the second-best digital sales week ever for any Idol contestant. Only original Idol, Kelly Clarkson's 2009 song "My Life Would Suck Without You" had a higher sales when it debuted with 280,000 downloads! Country superstar, Carrie Underwood's best sales week for a song came in 2009, when her "I Told You So" (featuring Randy Travis) debuted with 125,000. And Phillip beats that other Idol record breaker, David Cook, whose "The Time of My Life" debuted in 2008 with 236,000 sales."Home" marks the biggest sales week for any Idol winner's coronation single since SoundScan began tracking downloads in 2003. Two CD singles (before downloads became the prominent way to sell singles) two Season 2 finalists had larger sales weeks than Phil with their coronation singles Clay Aiken's "This Is The Night" CD single debuted with 393,000 and runner-up, Ruben Studdard's "Flying Without Wings" debuted with 286,000. Phillips' debut is also the fourth-largest debut of the year, behind Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" (521,000), Maroon 5s "Payphone" (493,000) and Katy Perry's "Part of Me" (411,000). Phillip's American Idol compilation, Journey to the Final debuted at #11 on the Billboard chart with 24,000 sold. http://www.mjsbigblog.com/phillip-phillips-home-makes-american-idol-history-bows-at-2-on-digital-chart.htm |

''We all sort of wanted to do something that was very radical that would test those relationships and also test our ability to be really competitive here,'' said Mark Reuss, GM's North America president.
Union leaders Sweeney and Dunn accepted the deal in October 2010, figuring it was better to have lower-paying jobs than none at all. They were vilified by some workers.
''People like to complain, but I think deep down inside, they realize what we had to do and why we did it and how everybody's truly benefiting,'' Dunn said. ''It's better than having the doors closed and wondering where your next paycheck is coming from.''
After the wage deal, GM started moving equipment into Orion. But there were still no workers to support the restaurants and shops surrounding the plant.
By early 2010, some of the small businesses around Casey's Chicken had started to close. Engineers who had been laid off by nearby parts suppliers came in asking to work for owner Casey Barnard for $8 an hour.
Meanwhile, plant workers were struggling. Unemployment benefits and a subsidy from GM that provided up to 70 percent of their pay began to run out. Some took jobs at other GM plants in Ohio or Missouri, where they bunked with fellow workers in crowded apartments or trailers and commuted home on weekends.
At the UAW hall, meetings had standing-room only crowds of 500 and lasted for hours. Workers stepped up to the microphone asking for help because their homes were being foreclosed and their cars repossessed.
''That was really crushing, going through that time,'' Dunn said. ''These people had been working and making their payments all along on time and then the economy just dropped out on them.''
Workers started trickling back to the plant in November 2010. But it wasn't enough for Casey's Chicken. After 14 years, the restaurant closed in the fall of 2011. Barnard is now working at a vacuum store a few doors from his former restaurant.
''I put every dime I had into keeping the business alive, but it came to a point where I couldn't afford it. I spent the college fund and everything in the bank,'' he said. ''I had a passion for it, loved it. But you see that wall coming at you, and you know you're going to get crushed.''
Early in 2010, Americans began returning to car dealerships as the economy improved. Sales were nowhere near pre-recession levels, but they were enough for GM to celebrate its first quarterly profit in three years.
As a dreadful winter ended, GM delivered on its promise to invest at Orion. Crates of robot arms, carts and conveyor parts arrived, filling the vast open space that had frightened Dunn just a few months earlier.
By midyear, Lang, the assembly line worker, got an offer from GM to move 160 miles away to Lordstown, Ohio, to work on the Chevrolet Cruze. By then, it was clear Orion would reopen to build the Sonic, and there were hopes of getting another car, the compact Buick Verano.
Lang and his wife had saved some money and decided to stay in Michigan, foregoing GM pay and benefits until he was called back to work at his home plant. By summer of 2011, he was back on the job testing the assembly line.
''Pack your lunchbox and head off to work. That's a great feeling,'' he said.
Gradually, all the older workers who wanted to return to the plant were hired back at the same pay as when they left. New workers were added at the lower wage, adding up to 1,800 on two shifts.
The first Sonic, a white hatchback, rolled out of the Orion factory in August 2011.
Even when their company was in bankruptcy, GM engineers and designers across the world never stopped working on the Sonic, a new mini car that would take on the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris. The Sonic was part of a wave of small cars from Detroit that came with more than just good gas mileage and a lower price: They had aggressive styling, better handling and more amenities like leather seats and navigation systems.
At GM's expansive technical center, 30 miles south of Orion, engineers worked to make the Sonic accelerate faster and ride quieter than the Aveo, its cheap South Korea-built predecessor. The Sonic emerged with hatchback and four-door versions. It came in eight colors, including bright orange, and it got up to 40 mpg on the highway.
The car hit showrooms with a sticker price of just under $14,000 — $1,300 less than the Fit. A year later, the tiny Chevy was the best-selling subcompact in the country. Last year, GM sold more than 81,000 Sonics. Hyundai's Accent finished second at 61,000.Continued...

Macon Urban Redevelopment Task Force Hears Concerns from East Macon Community
Tonight, East Macon residents are voicing their concerns about the state of their blighted community.
A public forum held by the Macon Urban Redevelopment Task Force,
gave these frustrated citizens the chance to talk about what they want to see change in their neighborhoods.
The task force is working to implement changes through the Urban Redevelopment Plan that was adopted by the city this past March.
Concerns about safety, code enforcement, and sewage and drainage problems, are on the minds of many residents.
"I'm so disappointed. I'm disappointed with what the city looks like, I'm disappointed in so many things," says former East Macon resident, Brenda Lee.
Now is the time agencies like the, 'Keep Macon Bibb Beautiful Commission', are stepping in and jump starting the effort.
"This is the perfect opportunity for the mayor and city's, ward by ward, cleanups to start," says Program Coordinator, Laura Jackson, KMBBC.
East Macon is just one of the neighborhoods the task force aims to help through the redevelopment plan.
Many people at the forum said, cleaning up the community starts with a commitment from the residents to help make their neighborhoods beautiful.

The computer in a public space for kids
dedicated computer station in the kitchen can help make it the go-to spot for studying and networking. And it provides one spot to corral all those wires.
Elevate your hobby space or work station. According to one online calculator, you can burn 200 to 400 more calories over eight hours if you stand
lights, computers and appliances. This simple habit doesn't cost a dime and could make a big difference in your energy consumption, depending on how consistent you are. Teach children and other members of the household to follow this rule: If no one's in the room, it doesn't need to be on. In other words
