ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- A major credit rating agency has upgraded its outlook on Minnesota's financial status from "negative" to "stable."
Minnesota Management and Budget announced Tuesday that Moody's Investor Services bumped up the state's standing. It doesn't involve an actual increase in the state's credit rating, which remains at the second-highest level possible. But Management and Budget Commissioner Jim Showalter says it shows the state has "turned a corner" in its financial management.
Moody's put Minnesota on negative watch in August 2011. The agency cited political dysfunction in St. Paul and a reliance on temporary solutions to address budget deficits.
The state plans to sell three series of bonds in August, and credit agency ratings influences interest rates for those bonds. Showalter recently pitched Minnesota's improving finances to bond agencies in New York.

RHEA COUNTY, TN (WRCB) -- Several young people in Rhea County say they are thankful to be alive after the truck they were riding in was swept away in a creek early Sunday morning.
Taylor Cheek says she and her boyfriend, along with some friends, were out riding around in the wee hours of Sunday morning when they tried crossing a creek on Evensville Mountain. Little did they know it would take several hours before they could be rescued from the rushing waters.
A blue Ford Mustang sits, stuck, in the swollen waters of Piney Creek on Monday. It is the same spot where a group of friends in a pick up truck tried to cross early Sunday morning, only the waters were even higher then.
"It was a night of fun that turned into something that could have been bad -- that could have been tragic," says Rhea County EMA director Jacky Reavley.
Reavley got the call 2:30 Sunday morning that seven young people were swept away when raging waters pushed their truck of the Pine Creek Road bridge.
"It was very swift water at the time," says Reavley.
"I've never been through anything like that before and never want to again," says Cheek.
Taylor Cheek, 20, talked to Channel 3 about what happened. Her boyfriend, along with the three other guys and girls in the truck, managed to make it to shore, but Cheek was sucked under.
"That's when I just started praying," she says.
Somehow she managed to crawl into the bed of the truck, that floated down stream with her.
"And that water was just slapping me right in my face," says Cheek.
Strangers in another vehicle drove up on the scene, right as the truck washed away. They drove a couple miles until they had cell reception and called 911.
"And if it wouldn't have been for them, I don't know how I would have been saved," says Cheek.
After clinging to the truck for almost an hour rescuers were able to throw her a rope and life jacket and pulled her to safety.
"It's definitely a lesson learned, a big eye opener. God was definitely with me," she says.
"Most of the time when you hear of a vehicle in the roaring creek, the out come is not usually too good. I was very thankful that nobody was hurt or worse in this," says Reavley.
No one in the truck was seriously injured. Cheek says she is a little sore from bouncing around in the water.
About 40 rescuers and law enforcement personnel were there for the rescue operation. Reavley says it is always worth repeating: never drive through rushing water or standing water.

POLACCA, Ariz. (AP) -- Funeral services for a Hopi High School football player who died from a traumatic brain injury suffered during a playoff game are set for Friday. Charles Youvella's services will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Polacca on the Hopi reservation. The 17-year-old Youvella scored his team's only touchdown in a 60-6 loss to Arizona Lutheran Academy on Saturday. Before the game was over, he fell hard on his head and collapsed a couple of plays later. He died Monday at a Phoenix hospital. Youvella is survived by his father, Wallace Youvella Jr., and siblings Vince, Khrystyl, Torri, Zachary, Ryesa, Layne and Dominique. Hopi High School is taking donations for his family. The Arizona Interscholastic Association also is setting up a fund.

Long Beach DisneySea
19 comments:
This is a great buildout, thanks for sharing SWW. I really like Pirate Lagoon and Mysterious Island. Atlantis mixed in with Nemo is just superb.
Although it's sad to have never seen this park built, it's comforting to know that all ideas from WDI are never really binned. More like lost in time, waiting to be found.

that's great!
what theme park will you come up with next?
- August 2, 2011 at 3:00 AM
I rather Randy do Disney-Warner Bros. Studios next.

To Disney-Warner Bros. Studios Guy:
SWW has got more important things to do than that
- August 2, 2011 at 12:30 PM
^As I've said before, if the Disney-Warner Bros. Studios Guy is willing to take the time to hand draw the park in his mind (which I think it would be a fulfilling experience for him), I'd consider doing it.

- megatron_85 said...
Mr. Wilson, ever thought of creating a book full of your theme park ideas?
- August 3, 2011 at 3:52 PM
I've always wondered what this park would contain. It looks pretty neat. Wasn't there an actual port planned from where the Disney cruises would start? Unless I'm blind... I can't see it.
Your variation, however, seems to fit the original drawing to the tee... you have an excellent eye for that.
On another note; you once made your version of SDL before the concept art came out. Have you shelved that or was it the basis or a variation of Worlds of Wonders?
- August 3, 2011 at 5:10 PM
^^Haven't considered a book. Maybe one day if I ever master the skills of drawing birds-eye views and park maps.
^There was a cruise ship port planned (as well as several more hotels and other attractions/facilities) for the larger Port Disney development, but it lies outside of the section I focused on (the DisneySea park zone). You can see where these would go on the very large site plans in the ProgressCity article I linked to.
Regarding Shanghai DL... I still have that one - it surrounds a very large central lagoon - inspired by that famous piece of art that came out in the 2006 Annual Report. I'll try to get to posting it, but I've done a couple MKs in a row, including yours, so I wanted to change directions a bit.

Very cool ideas. I like the combinations of the multiple parks...I actually don't know much about the Long Beach project and wasn't aware there was to be a resort, that'd be a cool drawing to see!
Randy, have you been removing old posts of parks you'd previously posted? I'm heading down to Universal Orlando next week, and went to look at the site plan and couldn't find it...I was extremely bummed lol. Anywho, it too was very cool fyi.
And Disney's America is coming very soon. I promise hahaha
- August 5, 2011 at 7:09 PM
^ IOA is definitely still there, as is the Alterniverse. I can't find the Universal Studios Florida post, but don't remember taking it down... not sure what happened...
Have a good time.
- August 5, 2011 at 9:05 PM

Thanks! I've seen both of those, and I especially love Alterniverse...it's a really great idea and kind of even puts IOA to shame. That's really weird about USF though ahahaha. Oh well...

Great buildout, as always! I was wondering if you had any plans to do the Epcot or Animal Kingdom proposed for the Shanghai property.
- August 7, 2011 at 5:45 PM
Regarding Shanghai EPCOT, in the longer-term, I think it would be fun to do an original 21st century take on EPCOT. Suggestions are welcome. It's interesting to think about how an EPCOT would be built today - particularly a Chinese one, as the original (great) EPCOT FW was entwined in the zeitgeist of the 1980s (faith in technology, corporate benevolence, American Exceptionalism) and today perceptions seem to be significantly different.
I'm in the early stages of putting together a "Shanghai" Animal Kingdom-like park. I put Shanghai in quotes because the park is not specifically tailored to a certain location, but could go anywhere. It's based not on continents, mythical nor prehistoric animals, but on Biomes (e.g. an Arctic land, a Rainforest land, a Desert land, a Prairie land) and not focused solely on animals - but on environments (including the human place in them).
- August 7, 2011 at 6:18 PM
Making an EPCOT center today might not prove very innovative since technology progresses quick yet not as futuristic as originally hoped, so you'd only end up with a convention center with dark rides.
I would, however, like the idea of re-tooling Future World to a sci-fi Expo showcasing future tech from anti-gravity to virtual reality, and make the World Showcase in a similar but bigger fashion as proposed in WestCOT.

Great work! I'm really enjoying your blog!
I have a conceptual map I've done based on Anahein Disneyland, and I'd like to know if you can convert this conceptual drwaing into your style of maps.
- August 9, 2011 at 7:48 AM
Magic Lamp,
Interesting idea about EPCOT with a Scifi FW. I assume the sci-fi you're talking about is more of the Star Trek kind, based on "real sciences" rather than the more fantastic, less plausible Star Wars/Buck Rogers type of sci-fi. Horizons was basically in that arena - showing very far removed concepts like heavily-populated space colonies and giant floating cities...
I definitely sympathize with WDI's predicament regarding actual futurism (with regard to both technology & architecture).
Mr. Zahta,
There's a good chance I can... you can email me the plan and specifics (email in About Me section in the upper left).

I have a question, have you ever designed a park for just Kingdom Hearts only?
- August 18, 2011 at 8:20 AM
^No... I know Kingdom Hearts is popular and I've seen artwork for it (and included some attractions based on it in various parks) but I don't know enough about the game series to create a park about it, having never played it.

VIDEO: Heswall protests against parking charges that are 'destroying' the town
4:02pm Friday 27th June 2014 in News By Emma Rigby , Senior Reporter
HESWALL business owners and members of the local community took to the streets on Friday to protest against the increased parking charges in the town.
Members of Heswall and District Business Association (HDBA) have mounted a legal challenge against the increases which were implemented in April 2013 and saw the cost of parking for one hour shoot up from 30p to £1.05. All day parking rose to £8.
The parking charges apply seven days a week from 8am until 6.30pm, which campaigners say is in contrast to other local towns where free parking is offered every day.
Despite a drop of more than 8,000 ticket sales in 2013/14 compared with the same period in 2012/13, the total net income from Heswall's 488 car parking spaces has risen from £123,365 to £189,392, according to figures from Wirral Council.
Campaigners say the telling statistic is how long people are now parking, with figures showing the average time spent in Heswall's car parks has fallen from between three and four hours to just one hour.
Speaking at the peaceful protest today, Karl Mullins – chair of the HDBA – said the charges are "destroying" the town.
He said: "£1.05 is just theft, it should be down to a maximum of 50p.
"It's destroying our community and it's affecting all our businesses – it's destroying the town and businesses are closing as a result."
Abbas Hussain, HDBA member and owner of Principal Pets on Telegraph Road, said: "Some businesses have reported a downturn of over 25% since the increased charges were introduced.
"If the charges are not urgently decreased we will inevitably lose some local services such as the library and community centre through lack of use.
"If we lose these services and a couple of retailers, a vicious circle could ensure, with fewer people attracted to the town due to lack of services."
The HDBA believe the increase is in contravention of the 1984 Road Traffic Regulation Act.
Councillor Stuart Whittingham, Wirral's cabinet member for highways and transportation, said the authority is "acutely aware of businesses' concerns" and has been talking to those involved to "seek a solution".
He said: "In 2013, following public consultation on a series of budget options in light of deep cuts to our government grant, the council standardised parking charges across the borough.
"This brought charges in areas like Heswall, West Kirby and Liscard in line with charges already in place in Birkenhead town centre. This also allowed us to reduce some charges, and gave us a fairer system overall.
"We are currently developing a long term car parking strategy for the borough, and a scrutiny review is underway and will take on board all views.
"Car parking income helps to pay for our road maintenance work, repairing potholes and making our roads safer. The income the council receives from car parking charges is reinvested in maintaining the highway network and keeping traffic moving."
A petition has attracted more than 3,000 signatures and will be presented to Cllr Phil Davies, leader of Wirral Council. It is available to sign in many shops around Heswall.

Main dining room, Windjammer, specialty restaurants and even pool grill were excellent. Evening buffet on deck with fish from market in St. Martin was unexpected treat. Complimentary wines were of good quality and variety. Best breakfast room service menu i have seen on a ship. Smoothie bar in Windjammer breakfast was awesome!
Tony was outstanding cruise director and excellent singer. Lloyd from production show group was not only a very good singer but did a 1 hour comedy and singing show that was very much enjoyed. Judy's opera performance was excellent. Enjoyed Carlos Alvarez in Mosaic Lounge every night. I had read reviews which complained about the entertainment but we liked every show except a female singer who joined the ship late in the cruise.
Service was amazing. On second day I went to guest relations to ask a question about my on-board credit. Guy was on duty and jokingly told me that if i didn't use all of the credit, his birthday was coming up and he liked a watch in the gift shop. I told him that I would consider it but my birthday was that day and I would probably use the credit for myself. When I told him it was my birthday he asked me to wait a minute, went into a back room and brought me a bottle of wine as a gift!
Only complaint was spa. Typical Steiner facility. Sell, sell, sell. Kept me waiting 30 minutes and didn't have time for my full service. Also did the wrong kind of massage which caused me some problems.

A 1D X image using a Leica 50/2

ISO 1600 1/20s f2 (I think!)

Oh, IS mode 1 when handheld and mode 2 when on the monopod.
Where on earth did you get that appalling notion from? Mode 1 is to stop movement in two directions, left-right and up-down, unless you have hybrid IS and that does three directions with in-out aswell, but the point is, Mode 1 tries to steady the shot completely. Mode 2 is for panning in any direction, the lens will work out your direction of pan and NOT try to correct movement in that specific direction. Mode 3 is a hybrid that automatically works out if you are panning or not, it gives you the best of modes 1 & 2 without having to switch between them. Even if you are on a monopod there is no reason to change IS mode, you are either panning or you are not, if you are then you need to be in Mode 2, if not, Mode 1.
Most modern IS lenses also have auto tripod detect, you don't need to switch them off when tripod mounted, earlier IS systems needed you to turn IS off when the lens wasn't moving as it tended to make up movement to correct!
I don't understand your comments. You repeated what I said. I use mode 1 when handheld (correction in both directions) and mode 2 when on a monopod (panning). The 200 f/2 I mentioned doesn't have mode 3. After 25+ years of this, I think I know what I am doing and my images speak for themselves. Geez.
My point was, IS selection doesn't matter if you are on a monopod or not, and being on a monopod does not mean everybody is panning. Why would you assume people knew that if you were using a monopod that you were panning?
With respect, your two images are not good examples of either IS mode use though, the shutter speeds are too high as shown by the water drops frozen sharply in midair for Mode 1, and the lack of background longitudinal blur in Mode 2. So here are three images that show, one, anybody can take a picture of a dog jumping into a pool , but notice my water drops imply movement because they are more motion blurred, purely an aesthetic decision but relevant with regards IS use, if your water drops are sharp then you have a shutter speed that is fast enough to not need IS . Two, IS mode 1 use, handheld at 0.5 second, the statue is sharp. Three, IS mode 2, panning, note the longitudinal blur of the background.
Now I realise you might know all this, but many don't, and I originally posted to clear up any possible confusion regarding the wording of your use of IS and monopods. Not to try and teach you a lesson you don't need nor to come across as an a-hole, I really was just trying to help others.

CATEGORIES FeaturesThe new movie 'Julie & Julia' is based on two memoirs: that of Julia Child (Meryl Streep), who moved to Paris as a diplomat's wife and became one of the most influential food writers of our time; and that of blogger Julie Powell (Amy Adams), who, bored with her cubicle job, decided to cook her way through Child's 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking' over the course of one year.
Though 'Julie & Julia' tells the stories of these two women, what it's really about -- and what has foodies everywhere excited for its arrival -- is food. Cooking it. Eating it. Enjoying it as one of life's greatest pleasures. When Streep, as Child, goes into ecstasy over her first bite of fish in a Parisian restaurant, we know exactly how she feels.
In between salivating over Julia Child's boeuf Bourguignon and sympathizing with Julie Powell's kitchen meltdowns, we started daydreaming about our favorite movie food scenes. And then we ate a whole roast chicken. Bon appetit!

The Comparative Religion Program is one of several interdisciplinary programs in the Jackson School of International Studies. Students completing the program requirements receive a Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Religion.
The availability of a large number of courses in a broad range of religious traditions underscores the distinctive nature of the Comparative Religion curriculum at the Jackson School. Course offerings introduce students to several approaches to the study of religions, e.g., historical, textual, anthropological, philosophical, psychological, and sociological. Drawing from programs within the Jackson School as well as from other units on campus, the curriculum is highly international and trans-cultural in character.
The faculty of the Comparative Religion Program includes appointments not only in the Jackson School, but in several other units of the University (History, Sociology, Anthropology, Music, Art History, Psychology, Philosophy, Political Science, Asian Languages and Literature, Near East Languages and Civilization, and Classics). The University's Language and Literature/Civilization programs offer excellent resources for students interested in the comparative study of religion, particularly in areas represented by the various regional programs within the Jackson School of International Studies. The expertise represented on the faculty covers a wide variety of religious traditions and issues.

When you think of depression, you might think of being sad, or just down in the dumps. But in fact, it's much more than that. It's a clinical condition that can take control of your life and cause serious complications. According to the National Institute of Mental Health about 16 million people had at least one episode in the past year. To put that into perspective, that's one out of every 10 people. (more…)

In the season 4 episode "Free Fall", Ryan warned her to stay away from two former prisoners after he suspected that they are targets for murder. She refused to listen got shot in the process. It is Erica who revealed to Ryan that there was a mole in the lab in a special extended scene that was available on www.cbs.com after the episode Urban Hellraisers aired.
She also helps Ryan in a case regarding abuse of eminent domain, with the government evicting people from their homes before turning the land over to a private developer (episode 505, "Death Eminent").
In a later episode, however, she puts the life of Natalia's sister at risk by mentioning on the air that she is a victim in a kidnapping (episode 508, "Darkroom").
It is implied that CSI Boa Vista was jealous of Ryan and Erica's "closeness".
She is played by Amy Laughlin.

Here's a look at a key matchup heading into the Week 16 game between the Packers and Giants at Lambeau Field.
Giants WRs Hakeem Nicks, Mario Manningham and Derek Hagan vs. Packers CBs Charles Woodson, Tramon Williams and Sam Shields
After doing major damage running the ball in the previous two games, the Giants' offense shifted gears in their 38-31 loss to the Eagles in Week 15, bombarding the Eagles with a high-powered passing attack featuring Nicks and Manningham, who had a combined 14 catches for 176 yards and three TDs (two by Manningham).
Giants QB Eli Manning normally likes to identify early on the weak link in the secondary he will be facing and then repeatedly attack that link. Look for him to especially test both Woodson, who has had more breakdowns than usual this season, and Shields, who was beaten last week on Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez's second TD catch, which turned out to be the game-wining score.
After missing two games with a lower leg injury, Nicks has registered 13 catches for 159 yards and a TD in the Giants' last two games. Big, strong and explosive, he is currently tied for sixth in the NFC with the Rams' Danny Amendola with 75 catches for 959 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Manningham had his best game of year against the Eagles (8-113–2) and has seven TDs this season. He manages to consistently get separation and find the soft spots in zone coverage.
Hagan, who has taken over in the slot for the injured Steve Smith, had three catches for 36 yards last week and has 16-142-1 in five games. The Giants' slot receiver normally gets 30-40 snaps per game.
Green Bay's pass defense did a solid job holding Patriots WRs Wes Welker and Deion Branch in check in Week 15 (combined five catches for 75 yards). Woodson had a strong outing against New England and set the tone with two really good early plays. But he also had a shot at an interception that would have been a big play but failed to hold on to the ball. Williams continues to provide consistently excellent coverage.

Geoscience Salaries And Careers in U.S and India
Source: Sciencemag Careers
Here are the links to three articles on geology and hydro-geology careers in the U.S.
In the Geosciences, Business Is Booming
Geoscientists in High Demand in the Oil Industry
Hydrogeologists Tap into Demand for an Irreplaceable Resource
The three articles give you a good idea about the state of the geology market in the U.S. There are some parallels with what is happening in India. Although statistics about the Indian geology market are hard to come by, I keep talking with friends and colleagues who are in the industry and academia and so I have a fair idea of demands and hiring trends.
Just as in the U.S., geology graduates are finding that their skills are in demand in the oil and gas sector. However unlike North America where even a strong bachelors degree can land you a high paying oil job, in India only Masters level students are hired. Maybe that says something about the standard of bachelor level training in India where state colleges do not always offer the best quality geology training. Starting salaries are nowhere compared with the U.S. In Indian money they come to about Rs 2-5 lac per year (range equivalent to about $5 K to $ 12 K).
Another parallel is the relative stagnation in academia. In the U.S. falling research budgets has lead to many Universities not hiring replacements when a senior faculty retires. A survey shows that the number of geoscience faculty is down to 12,354 today from a figure of 13,554 in 1999. In India again there is a problem of a flat hiring trend in academia but probably for a different reason. A large number of vacancies are only to be filled by reserved category candidates (i.e reserved for candidates from India's backward classes) and many geology departments have difficulty finding suitably qualified candidates with a Ph.D in geology to fill these posts. Starting salaries in academia are less than what oil and gas pays.
One difference that emerges between the geology markets in the U.S and in India is in the environmental geology field. There is a tremendous demand in the U.S for geologists in the environmental consulting field. Hiring is strong both in governmental agencies as well as the thriving private environmental consulting sector which hires about 80% of hydro-geologists. A wide variety of skill sets are in demand to deal with various water resources (both water quality and resource management) and environmental problems and increasingly climate change related impacts on the environment.
In India environmental geology has never been a marketable skill primarily because India until very recently has not had strong environmental regulations in place. Government geology agencies have not developed well funded environmental geology programs, since dealing with water quality, water resources and myriad other environmental issues has not been given priority and backing. Consequently the private environmental consulting business has also seen small growth for geologists, since most such businesses end up servicing government contracts.
There are however two areas in which geologists have been making an impact in the environmental field in India. One is groundwater prospecting where solo operators armed with electrical resistivity measurements and a strong knowledge of local geology have built successful careers. My experience at least in the state of Maharashtra has been that most of them are genuinely skilled. Occasionally you do come across scamsters given to theatrics like using a magnetic compass to "point to water" or even dowsing. But most seem above board. The other area and one which is rapidly growing due to the infrastructure boom is in geo-technical services, essentially geology consulting for building foundations, road alignment, slope stability, tunnel excavations, all engineering geology applications.
Geology jobs in India traditionally have been mostly with the government. That is changing with private oil and gas and mining companies being allowed in the Indian market. There is also a growing awareness at the highest political levels that India is facing enormous environmental problems, a legacy of several decades of neglect. Multi-national companies setting up shop here will one hopes bring more stringent environmental impact assessment and remediation standards. That along with a concern for global warming and its impact on water resources, I hope will open up new niches for geologists.

In the IITs, Geology has become quite attractive stream among students. Since the past two years, students from Geology department have ended up with highest average salary across all departments, even beating Computer Science. With companies (like Shell and Schlumberger) recruiting in large numbers, the average salary of Geology students in my batch was over Rs. 9 lakh per annum. I don't know the latest figures, but I know there has been a significant slowdown in recruitment.ReplyDelete
thanks for that input. specialization and big oil will no doubt offer bigger salaries than many other oil services companies where most geology graduates from state universities get jobs. colleagues I have talked to say that recruitment is still healthy. as I mentioned its hard to get statistics for geology job markets.
Very interesting and informative article.Geology is truly a intellectually satisfying career. Sir,I am extremely interested in becoming a geologist and would like some guidance in this regard from you: i have already sent an Email to you in this regard..kindly replyReplyDelete

Thanks to the GPS in your car or on your smart phone, telling people how to get to your home has never been easier. That's unless, of course, you live in a Brookhaven apartment building.
Residents like Margaret Apgar say no one can find her building on Glenway Drive. That's because the satellite technology that helps our high-tech gadgets find our destinations hasn't quite caught up to the apartment building that has been in existence for nearly a decade.
The apartment managers tell FOX 29 many addresses in the area get caught in satellite limbo.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
I spent some time last week with Dr. Romules Durant, the interim superintendent for Toledo Public Schools.
Dr. Durant is passionate, direct and engaged. Refreshingly, he does not do the superintendent shuffle and hide behind bureaucratic walls. He is an open and charismatic leader who acknowledges the failures of the past and accepts the challenges of the present.
Primary of those challenges is the TPS levy, which is on next week's ballot. Passing a levy has been a tough sell, but Dr. Durant deserves the chance to make his vision work. To do so, he needs the funds the levy will generate.
Voters have to overcome the skepticism and frustration and believe this time, with this man in charge, it will be different. He does not promise overnight results. He also says he is prepared to deal with entrenched unions, absent or removed parents, systemic failures, and struggling students.
He does not claim to have all the answers. He does promise to be the person standing in front when the questions are asked. That alone is reason enough to vote yes. Yes for the city. Yes for the region. Yes for the kids. And Yes for man who finally says, "the buck stops here."

Landmark Communications considers selling businesses
- January 3, 2008
- |
Jessica Sabbath
The private communications company that owns The Weather Channel and publishes The Virginian-Pilot is considering selling its businesses.
Norfolk-based Landmark Communications has hired investment banks JP Morgan and Lehman Brothers to explore the sale of part or all of the company's assets, according to The Virginian-Pilot, Landmark's flagship newspaper. JP Morgan is helping the company look at sale of The Weather Channel, and Lehman Brothers is exploring the sale of its other media properties.
The New York Times reported Thursday that the sale of The Weather Channel, whose Web site is the 18th most-visited media site in the world, could net $5 billion on its own. In addition to the Pilot, the company owns daily and community newspapers — including The Roanoke Times, Style Weekly in Richmond and the Greensboro News & Record in North Carolina — TV stations and a chain of classified advertising publications.
The New York Times reported that NBC, Fox News Corp., Comcast and Times Warner could be interested in an auction of The Weather Channel.
Frank Batten Sr. helped the company expand when he took control from his uncle in 1954. Landmark Communications made an estimated $1.75 billion in sales in 2006 and employs about 12,000 people, according to Hoover's. Batten's son, Frank Batten Jr., became head of the company in 1998.

Paul in CA
I used this in my Kymco Grandvista (aka Grand Dink) 250cc scooter with the stock Keihin CVK30 carb. Works great. I have a stock exhaust and air filter. The problem was the carb got clogged from sitting and I cleaned it several times but there was still a small off idle hesitation. I cured that with #48 pilot jet. Stock was #38. I ordered a variety of sizes from #42 to #58 and that worked best. Regarding the Main Jet: Stock was #102 and I tried #115 and that was WAY too big and the scooter did not run right. I have not tried #105 yet I wish they offered a #103 or #104 as I'm worried that #105 might still be too big. Fits fine but inside shape is a little different than oem.Read All Reviews

The economy is clearly picking up, in other words, but it has been something less than a dynamo at creating jobs. In fact, fewer Americans overall are employed today than in 2007.
Those are among the reasons Congress would be justified in extending expired unemployment benefits for another three months, as President Obama has requested, and why the Senate's 60-37 preliminary vote Tuesday was encouraging.
To be clear, we're not suggesting that emergency unemployment benefits, originally approved in 2008, be extended reflexively every time their expiration approaches. At some point, a normal labor market will reassert itself, and the rationale for another extension will fade.
But the economy has yet to meet that definition and, until it does, we don't believe the arguments of some Republicans that the benefits are a deterrent to job-seeking have as much merit as they might.
To be sure, the granting of perpetual jobless benefits can influence recipients' behavior, which is why such benefits historically have been limited during robust periods of job creation and relatively modest levels of unemployment. But that's not the situation the country finds itself in today -- however much we all would like that to change.

Welcome to Garland Rescue Ranch and Sanctuary!
Garland Rescue Ranch and Sanctuary is a completely full, no-kill, 501C3, non-profit facility dedicated to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome abused, neglected and unwanted dogs and cats. Garland Rescue Ranch and Sanctuary, a non-profit public benefit corporation, was established in 2002. It is a no-kill, licensed kennel for both dogs and cats of California's high desert. We are supported entirely by donations and private grants. Our animals are healthy and loved. Many of them are over 5 years old, with quite a few 10-14 year olds. We have over 70 dogs and an almost equal number of cats. The rescue and its' staff and volunteers are dedicated to providing compassionate care for the animals who reside here. An exercise yard staffed by volunteers, allows the dogs to run and play or take a leisurely stroll. Volunteers also help to bathe and groom the dogs and cats and give them the attention each deserves. We rely heavily on the good hearts and hands of our volunteers. They range in age from 15 on up to 80. We have mentored senior students from local high schools for their senior projects and have worked with disadvantaged youth programs. Although older dogs and cats are not often considered for adoption, Garland Rescue Ranch and Sanctuary promotes awareness as to the benefits of these loving partners. The older dogs and cats are calmer and exhibit fewer destructive behaviors, and can make great pets for older families or those who work. The physical, emotional and spiritual benefits these animals provide to their adopters is now accepted scientifically. The ranch also has dogs from 1-2 years and up who would be great for more active homes. Our dogs are mixed breeds, both large and small!

The Fall is a gripping investigative drama series, that in this first five part miniseries, follows the lives of two hunters within one story.
The first hunter is the highly driven DSI Stella Gibson played by Gillian Anderson. The other is a serial predator, preying on the lives of people at random across Belfast in Northern Ireland. Gibson arrives from England in pursuit. Drafted in by superiors under increasing pressure to come clean on what they know, the truth is that while they have hunted down terrorists, they have never had experience of a serial killer. Gibson has. While she senses hostility as an outsider brought in to run the team, she brings with her the knowledge of how serial predators stay in the shadows and exactly where to look to find them.
But this isn't a whodunit. Rather, a will-they-stop-him? Radically, the killer is identified to the audience from the start and the drama will increase in intensity by playing out the cat and mouse game from both sides. The impressive cast includes Emmy Award winner Archie Penjabi ('The Good Wife'), John Lynch ('Sliding Doors'), Simon Delaney ('Father & Son'), Laura Donnelly ('Merlin'), Stuart Graham ('Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy'), Michael McElhatton ('Perrier's Bounty') and Ian McElhinney ('Game of Thrones').Back to New Season Drama Highlights Back to RTÉ One Highlights

The Johns Creek community is coming together to help a 9-year-old Johns Creek boy in need of expensive brain surgery that's not covered by his family's insurance. Tyler Lillard has epilepsy due to a brain tumor on his optic nerve. His mother, Tina, says he has suffered as many as 50 seizures in one day."It's difficult because you don't know what they're going to come, you don't know how severe they'll be, you don't know how long they'll last," said Tina Lillard. The 9-year-old boy is getting ready to head to the Mayor Clinic in Minnesota for brain surgery. He said he's not afraid; he just wants to get better. "If they take my brain tumor out, I'll be perfect. I'll be fine," said Lillard.The surgery costs $250,000, and Tina says her insurance company has denied her claim six times.Her community has stepped in to help. Hundreds of people came out to a fundraiser for Tyler on Wednesday at the Sugar Mill neighborhood.Tyler says one of the highlights was meeting Atlanta Falcons star Jason Snelling, who also has epilepsy.Snelling says he wanted to share his experience with Tyler."I've been dealing with epilepsy since I was 13 years old. There's good days and bad days, but fortunately for me, I was able to persevere through epilepsy," Snelling said. "It's still an everyday battle."
The family says the support they've received from Snelling and the hundreds of people who attended the fundraiser make them feel like they're not going through this alone -- they're a team. "The support, the prayers – everything has just been, it's overwhelming but in a good way," said Tina Lillard.The surgery is scheduled for June 19. The recovery is expected to last about three months.Proceeds from the event benefited Team Tyler. Click here for more information on the Team Tyler.

Turner Scott says sponsor defaults on payment
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Turner Scott Motorsports said Friday that primary sponsor Arrowhead has defaulted on payment for Jeb Burton's team in the Truck Series.
Without the money, the team said, it will not be able to field Burton and the No. 4 truck in 2014. It also means that up to 20 percent of its workforce- around 35 employees out of 185- could be laid off.
Burton scored one win, at Texas, and had 11 top-10 finishes while placing fifth in the final standings last season. He also won seven poles.
Team co-owner Harry Scott said Burton's breakout success made it an "especially painful" decision not to run the No. 4 team.
Arrowhead is a disposable electronic cigarette company based in South Boston, Va., which is also Burton's hometown.

WEST, Texas — Buck Uptmor didn't have to go to West Fertilizer Co. when the fire started. He wasn't a firefighter like his brother and cousin, who raced toward the plant. But a ranch of horses next to the flames needed to be moved to safety.
"He went to help a friend," said Joyce Marek, Uptmor's aunt. "And then it blew."
Two days after the fertilizer facility exploded in a blinding fireball, authorities announced Friday that they had recovered 14 bodies, confirming for the first time an exact number of people killed. Grieving relatives filed into a church offering comfort for families, as volunteers nearby handed out food to those still unable to return to homes damaged by the massive blast.
Ten of the dead were first-responders — including five from the West Volunteer Fire Department and four emergency medics, West Mayor Tommy Muska said.
The dead included Uptmor and Joey Pustejovsky, the city secretary who doubled as a member of the West Volunteer Fire Department. A captain of the Dallas Fire Department who was off-duty at the time but responded to the fire to help also died.
The explosion was strong enough to register as a small earthquake and could be heard for many miles across the Texas prairie. It demolished nearly everything for several blocks around the plant. More than 200 people were hurt, and Muska said five first-responders were among those who remained hospitalized Friday.
The first-responders "knew it was dangerous. They knew that thing could go up at any time," said Ronnie Sykora, who was Pustejovsky's deacon at St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church. "But they also knew that if they could extinguish that fire before it went up, that they could save tens of lives, hundreds of lives. That's why they were in there."

HOUSTON (AP) - An independent review of a University of Texas study into hydraulic fracturing found the research did not meet standards for scientific work.
The Energy Institute researched hydraulic fracturing and water contamination. The head of the study, Chip Groat, had not revealed he was on the board, and had received in 2011 $413,000 in cash and stock from Plains Exploration and Production Co.
The review panel says in its report, released Friday, that Groat's failure to disclose this was a "principal shortcoming" in the research because it could have put into question the study's credibility. It says the research "fell short of contemporary standards for scientific work."
Groat retired last month. The institute's director resigned Monday.
The university says it accepts the review's recommendations, including strengthening its conflict of interest policies.
