Archiprix International invites the chairs of all universities worldwide teaching architecture urban design and/or landscape architecture to select their best graduation project and invites the designer(s) to submit the selected project for participation. In addition to the 6 panels submitted the designer can upload the project on our website where all entries of all editions will be accessible for everyone interested.
All submitted entries are reviewed in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology by an international jury. The international jury of experts assesses and comments upon the submissions. The jury report is published on the web site and in the book. The jury selects the very best projects. The selection of the jury and the composition of the jury is a shared responsibility of Archiprix International and the MIT.
In May of 2011 all participants will be invited to participate in the Archiprix International workshops. These best graduates from around the world form a unique group of young talented designers. They will assemble in the premises of the MIT. The workshops are lead by prominent designers and will address themes relevant to architecture, urban design and/or landscape architecture in the 21st century. The organization and further programming of the workshops will be done by the MIT in consultation with Archiprix International.
All entries will be exposed in the MIT. A selection of about 25 (out of an estimated number of 200 – 300 entries) graduation projects submitted to Archiprix International will be compiled into a major overview exhibition to be shown in a public venue for a broad public. The exhibition concept will be developed in collaboration with the MIT and the Antenna-Men.
The Archiprix International awards ceremony will be held after the workshop. All participants, as well as representatives of the participating educational institutions and of the participating countries will be invited to attend. Hunter Douglas will invite their architect relations. The chairperson of the international jury will present the jury report and announce the winners. The program focuses mainly on the Archiprix International participants and their plans.
A selection of the submitted entries of the Archiprix International will be published in a book. The book will present a cross section of the submitted projects, among them the projects nominated by the jury, as well as the favourites of the participants. The book is published in collaboration with 010 Publishers. The book will be edited by Archiprix International Rotterdam, the design and lay-out of the book will be done by the Antenna-Men.
All submitted projects of all editions of the Archiprix International are published on the website. The Archiprix International website serves a dual purpose. On the one hand it provides an international platform for budding design talent whose graduation work can be viewed in digital form. On the other hand it functions as an easily accessed source of information about Archiprix International for the participating students and educational institutions. Over the years, regardless of which country takes on the task of organizing Archiprix International, the website remains a constant factor, a reliable source of information with details about educational institutions and a virtual exhibition space for the most talented young designers of the moment.
The website also presents the world's most extensive list of schools in the fields of architecture, urban design and landscape architecture.

Suspicious Grizzly Death Investigated
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating the death of a grizzly bear whose decomposing body was found by hunters in late September a few miles south of Yellowstone National Park in Idaho. According to investigators, the dead bear was found in the vicinity of Lower Goose Lake in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest. Examination of the carcass and the site indicates the bear did not die of natural causes. USFWS is asking that anyone who was in the area, particularly after Labor Day, and has any information that might help in the investigation is asked to contact the Fish and Wildlife Service.

It took only moments to change the lives of a Widefield family for ever. Just before 1:15 a.m. Thursday, a fire was sparked inside a tri-level home in the 400 block of Cielo Vista Street and the flames raced quickly raced through the structure.
Kimberly Salo lives across the street and woke up to sound of her dogs barking.
"The guy who lives there, James, he pounded on the door. It scared me to death."
Her parents were also awake and as her dad called 911, Kimberly looked outside and saw the home engulfed in flames.
"I was sick. I was devastated. I couldn't think of anyone being in there. That was before anyone had come out except for James. So, I thought everyone was still in there."
Most of the family had escaped, but the flames were too intense for firefighters to rescue their grandmother. A 15-year-old girl and her aunt both had burns, and a six year old boy was hospitalized for smoke inhalation.
By midday the embers had cooled enough to let fire investigators inside. They spent the day looking for evidence to suggest precisely where and how the fire started.
At Kimberly's house, the family's dogs had found a temporary shelter. Her mom Debbie Mussack says they helped any way they could.
"We brought them into the house and gave them some more clothing, because she was just in a tee shirt, a nightshirt and everything, some clothing and some warm socks because her socks were all wet," she said.
Debbie had recently taken a course in Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) to better prepare herself for crisis situations.
"It really came in handy just being support for the firefighters and the sheriff department and stuff just telling them if you guys need anything let us know," Debbie said.
The Pikes Peak Chapter of the American Red Cross provided the family with grief and trauma counseling as well as emergency food and replacement clothing. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

In Memoriam; Don Gale
We are sad to report the passing of photographer Don Gale. We had the pleasure of working with Don on a number of Shutterbug workshops, and his skill at teaching, his masterful work, and the pleasure of his company were always well regarded by his many students and us. We would also catch up with Don at numerous teaching venues and trade shows, where he would be leading seminars or inspiring photographers with his talks and images.
Don's passion for photography and nature was surpassed only by his love for family and friends and his indefatigable zest for life. A master collaborator, Don was an integral part of the Tamron Learning Center, leading numerous workshops, lectures, and seminars. Don also shared his photographic gifts through his beautiful images.
With his expertise in the areas of commercial, industrial, and portraiture photography already firmly established, Don returned to the field that first inspired him to become a photographer, nature and landscape. Don shared with students his experience and the techniques used to capture some of the most beautiful settings and wildlife in the country.
Don was able to expand the audience for his work and teaching by electronic means. His blog allowed anyone to view tips and techniques at their convenience. Through the collaborative efforts of companies with a similar dedication to photography, Don was able to extend the range of photographic instruction, including Fuji's "Talent Team," Nik Software's "Team Nik," ExpoDisc's "Tips From the Pros," Lexar's "Elite Photographers," Bogen's "Local Heroes," and F.J. Westcott's "ProTips."
Don released two instructional videos. The second video, "Photographing San Francisco and California's Central Coast" was released by Don Gale Productions in conjunction with Tamron, and was a Telly Award Winner for best "How To" instructional video as well as an Axiem Award Winner for "Best Editing."
For those who knew Don, his family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the "Don Gale Memorial Fund." Proceeds will be donated to the charities that had impacted his life and were dear to his heart, including the El Monte Boys & Girls Club and similar organizations that help others to see the beauty around us. Checks can be made to the "Don Gale Memorial Fund" and sent to the address below.

Destination: IsraelMISSIONS & TRAVEL, Short-Term Missions Friday, August 1st, 2014
The most frequently asked questions travelers have — and their answers.
The most frequently asked questions travelers have — and their answers.
By Eric Spacek, JD, ARM Taking a mission trip, or traveling to a convention, concert or speaking event are great ways to extend the reach of your ministry. However, once you begin transporting members off the property on behalf of the church, there are special circumstances to consider. Make sure you ask yourself these five […]
Fresh ideas for a tried-and-true connection tool
For many church leaders, the idea of a group trip to Israel is compelling. However, the logistics of planning such an excursion can strike fear in the heart of even the most adventurous pastor. To quell the hesitation, Noam Matas — general manager of the Calabasas, CA-based America Israel Travel (AIT) — walks you through […]
A group of 12 teenagers from your church just convinced the senior pastor they can raise the money for an evangelistic outreach.
Despite the recent recession, religious travel remains a priority among church groups.

With special attention to the nuances of sacred sites, visitors to Israel will experience the intersection of history, geography and archeology.

Hi Cider, in regards to this:
I mentioned this to our shamans (shameese? Shamen?), and our more knowledgeable one is swearing up and down that this was changed a few patches ago so that totems no longer pulse immediately on being dropped. Is he right or does he need to lay off the herbalism?"What we did was to have our shaman fearwarded so he could put down a tremor totem to pulse as soon as Incite Terror hits, which minimized downtime for our healers."

Gartner's report agrees with a similar one from IDC on Thursday, in that both showed a global drop in PC sales -- 4.9 percent for Gartner, 6.4 percent for IDC. And both show the continuing importance of tablets.
But Gartner found that Apple sold 5.4 percent more Macs in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with 2011, boosting market share to 12.3 percent, while IDC found a 0.2 percent drop that kept Mac's market share at 11.4 percent. Next week, Apple is expected to reveal its actual sales figures for the quarter.
Exception, Not the Norm
Overall computer sales in the U.S. declined by 2.1 percent, according to Gartner, compared with Q4 2011.
Mikako Kitagawa, principal analyst at Gartner, said in a statement that, while tablets have "dramatically changed" the overall picture for PCs, it is "not so much by 'cannibalizing' PC sales," as it is because PC users are turning to tablets instead of replacing older PCs.
"Whereas once we imagined a world in which individual users would have both a PC and a tablet as personal devices," she added, "we increasingly suspect that most individuals will shift consumption activity to a personal tablet, and perform creative and administrative tasks on a shared PC." Kitagawa predicted that some individuals will have both a PC and a tablet, but they "will be the exception and not the norm."
If accurate, this analysis means that many users will simply let their PC "age out," as Gartner said, and then buy a tablet when they are ready for a new computing device. In this scenario, the installed base for PCs will continue to decline, as the availability of low-cost tablets continues to grow.
Promising Platform
Gartner also noted that Windows 8 "did not have a significant impact on PC shipments in the fourth quarter." Sales of both mobile and desktop PCs declined in the fourth quarter, by 11 percent and 6 percent respectively year over year, but Gartner said that all-in-one form factors from Asus, Lenovo and Hewlett-Packard "look like a promising platform for the future."
By ranking in units shipped worldwide, HP is once again first, having temporarily lost it last quarter to now-second place holder Lenovo. HP and Lenovo do not have much spread between them -- 16.2 percent and 15.5 percent, respectively. Dell is third with 10.2 percent, followed by Acer Group (9.5 percent), Asus (7.2 percent) and "others" at 41.4 percent. Gartner counts mini-notebooks but not media tablets like the iPad in its figures. (continued...)

Quick Wednesday recap - debating democracy
Last night, I had the privilege of moderating a World Economic Forum dinner panel entitled, "The Future of Democracy," asking the following broad question that left ample room for debate: "How are established and nascent democracies being reformed and shaped to meet the challenges of the 21st century?"
The topic and a great group of panelists -- including Professor Timothy Garton Ash (U.K.), Archbishop Thabo Cecil Makgoba (South Africa), Kenneth Roth (U.S.), Amira Yahyaoui (Tunisia), and Jean-Francois Copé (France) -- made it easy for me to facilitate a spirited discussion. It largely revolved around one important theme: determining to what extent anti-democratic tendencies are on the rise globally.
Europe was an area of particular interest, where this threat broke down into two main categories: the disintegration of democratic institutions under the watch of Viktor Orban in Hungary, and a more general anti-immigration far right populism throughout Europe. There was general consensus that the threats to democracy don't extend as far as consolidated democracies like France, but with austerity in the equation for the foreseeable future, the periphery is poised to see this threat grow. An interesting debate arose between the Economist senior editor, who didn't see any of this as significantly anti-democratic, and Timothy Garton Ash, who certainly did.
It's interesting to examine this in countries that are bastions of democratic values and juxtapose it with tendencies in authoritarian states. Take the perceived trend in the other direction in Russia, for example, as we see the middle class publicly speak out and air its grievances.
Davos generally has a Western bent, with an underlying mentality that its customs and ideals will win out. Even with this in mind, there was a lot of talk about avoiding hypocrisy and the importance for Europe and the United States to get their own houses in order democratically before they champion these values abroad. This criticism was especially pointed with regard to the U.S., as people highlighted issues of wealth disparity and corporate influence on politics as areas where democracy seems to be eroding.
There was not as much on the role of technology as I would have liked, nor on the treatment of populations as consumers rather than citizens. But I tried to incorporate these trends into a broader question that I asked the entire audience. Given the following three trends, I asked, is the global environment becoming more supportive of democracy?
1. Exponential technology boosting communication avenues and the greater immediacy and availability of information
2. Volatility and the economic disparity of wealth
3. Challenges to an outmoded western model of international governance
I didn't take a formal poll, but responses came back roughly as follows:
- 60 percent thought the environment was becoming more favorable for democracy.
- 20 percent thought less favorable
- 20 percent were mixed.
Where do I stand? I'm mixed, perhaps with a toe in the "less favorable" camp.
The first day at Davos took its toll on me. A civilized 8 a.m. start, but then it was full tilt until 10 p.m., bouncing from one event to another. And I turned in early, which won't be an option from here on out. After all, the can't-miss evening events come tonight and tomorrow.

First negotiations since collapse of ecumenical group.
Negotiators for the Anglican Church on the Indian Residential Schools issue concluded the third round of meetings with the federal government this week in Vancouver. The two-day meeting was attended by Archdeacon Jim Boyles and four other representatives from the church, together with Deputy Minister Jack Stagg, head of the Office of Indian Residential Schools Resolution, and staff. The meeting marked the first bilateral negotiation session between the two sides since the announcement, also this week, that the Ecumenical Group, representing all four church groups affected by the Residential Schools issue, could no longer negotiate as a group.
Commenting on the outcome of this week's meeting, Anglican representatives said it was still too early to tell when and how substantive progress would be made. Archdeacon Jim Boyles said the meetings were marked by good dialogue on tough issues, noting that a number of substantive issues were addressed. He indicated the primary concern for Anglicans is the establishment of a formula which will ensure justice for plaintiffs with validated claims.
The Anglican negotiators said there is still work to be done before a framework is established for a comprehensive and viable agreement between the two sides. The teams agreed to continue to a fourth meeting, with a date set for early March.

Bienfait area residents had the chance to learn more about a proposed Lehigh Cement Company fly ash facility that would be constructed in the RM of Coalfields during an open house on January 30.
Dan Thillman, the sales manager for the Alberta region at Lehigh, said they wanted the public to have insight and a chance to ask questions about the proposed terminal. The most recurring concern was regarding truck traffic.
"What we're looking at is approximately eight to 12 truckloads of fly ash coming from the Boundary Dam Power Station (each day), and going into this facility," said Thillman.
The open house also had information on noise assessment, the environmental review, the facility plan and the benefits of fly ash.
Lehigh is proposing to construct the terminal north of Bienfait. About 20,000 tonnes of fly ash could be stored at the structure. There would be one or two operator jobs generated once the building opens.
"Our goal is to use all of the fly ash that is currently moved," said Thillman.
Lehigh has an exclusive 10-year contract with SaskPower to market the fly ash produced at Boundary Dam. The product is used in ready-mix concrete operations, pre-cast structures such as bridge decks and pipes, and concrete products like bricks and paving stones.
He believes the fly ash facility will be environmentally beneficial because the fly ash will be reused rather than stored in lagoons. It's also a good use of a byproduct of coal-fired combustion.
The fly ash is currently being marketed on B.C.'s west coast. Thillman said markets could be expanded to the U.S. as well.
Lehigh is optimistic that construction could begin in April, and that the plant would be operating in February of 2015.
As part of the project, CN Rail will construct a 750-metre railway spur from CN's Lampman subdivision to service the facility. Federal approval from the Canadian Transportation Agency will be needed. If it receives the green light, construction would occur from June to October of this year, and it would be ready for trains in November.

Here's an interesting thought from Rod Dreher:
Small, local, old, and particular are almost always better than big, global, new, and abstract.
Almost always better? I wouldn't go that far. But I would say that small, local, old, and particular are often undervalued.
Since modernity is biased toward big, global, new, and abstract, giving more consideration to small, local, old, and particular can help correct our perspective.

(Min 3 characters)
Report to the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty
May It Please Your Majesty
We, the undersigned Commissioners, appointed to make an Inventory of the Ancient and Historical Monuments and Constructions connected with or illustrative of the contemporary culture,
civilisation and conditions of life of the people of England from the earliest times to the year 1714,
and such further Monuments and Constructions subsequent to that year as may seem in our
discretion to be worthy of mention therein, and to specify those which seem most worthy of
preservation, do humbly submit to Your Majesty the following Report, being the thirty-ninth
Report on the work of the Commission since its first appointment.
2. We have to record the loss to the Commission by resignation of Doctor Mark Girouard, for
whose advice and assistance over a period of five years we are deeply grateful.
3. We have to thank Your Majesty for the appointment to the Commission of Sir Harry Thurston
Hookway, Knight, and Professor John Kerry Downes, Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, under
Your Majesty's Royal Sign Warrant dated 27th March, 1981.
4. We have pleasure in reporting the completion of our recording of archaeological sites in the
south-western part of the County of Northampton, an area comprising sixty-nine parishes containing 536 monuments.
5. Following our usual practice we have prepared an illustrated Inventory of these monuments,
which will be issued as a non-Parliamentary publication entitled Northamptonshire IV. As in recent
Inventories, the Commissioners have adopted the terminal date of 1850 for the monuments
included in the Inventory.
6. The method of presentation of material has in general followed that adopted in the previous
7. The descriptions of the more important monuments have been submitted to specialist authorities. We are satisfied that no significant monument which survived until 1978 has been omitted.
8. Our special thanks are due to owners and occupiers who have allowed access by our staff to
the monuments in their charge. We are indebted to the Directors and Curators of many Institutions
for their ready assistance to us and in particular to Mr. P. I. King, the Northamptonshire County
Archivist. We have to record our indebtedness to the Director-General of the Ordnance Survey
for access to his archaeological records and for valuable work carried out by the field surveyors
of his Department. We wish to record our gratitude to Professor J. K. S. St Joseph, lately Director
in Aerial Photography in the University of Cambridge, for permission to use a large number of
air photographs. We further wish to express our thanks to those persons and organizations who
have given particular help to our executive staff during the field investigation; their co-operation
is greatly appreciated. They include Mr. D. J. Barrett who has supplied records of his detailed
fieldwork in Marston St. Lawrence and neighbouring parishes and Mr. A. E. Brown who has
contributed much of his unpublished material on flint-working sites in the north-west of the
county (included in the Addendum) and the account of the Roman town at Towcester, as well as
Mr. W. N. Terry and Mr. W. R. G. Moore (respectively Curator and Keeper of Archaeology,
Northampton Central Museum and Art Gallery).
We gratefully acknowledge permission to reproduce a number of maps and plans belonging to
His Grace the Duke of Grafton, Sir Hereward Wake, Bart., the Peterborough Diocesan Registrar
and Abthorpe and Rothersthorpe Parish Councils.
9. As a result of the limitations imposed on us by the continuing need for economy, only two
members of our staff have been available to carry out work in the field.
10. We humbly recommend to Your Majesty's notice the following monuments in south-western
Northamptonshire as being most worthy of preservation:
Roman, prehistoric and undated monuments:
Chipping Warden
(2) Iron Age Fort
Cold Higham
(2) Enclosures and Ditches
(1) Roman Villa
(1) Enclosure
King's Sutton
(5) Prehistoric and Roman Settlement
(1) Hill Fort
(3) and (4) Roman Buildings
(8) Enclosure
Medieval and later earthworks
(5) Deserted Hamlet of Charlock
Aston Le Walls
(1) Deserted Village of Appletree
(3) Fishponds and Hollow-way
(6) Tramway
(3) Site of Manor House
(1) Ringwork
Easton Neston
(4) Site of Manor House
(9) Deserted Village of Astwick
(18) Deserted Village of Steane
Grafton Regis
(5) and (6) Motte, Site of Manor House and
Garden Remains
(4) Site of Manor House and Settlement Remains
(2) Deserted Village of Lower Radstone
(3) Ringwork
(1) Deserted Village of Kirby
11. In compiling the foregoing list, our criteria have been archaeological or historical importance
and rarity, not only in the national but in the local field, and the degree of loss to the nation that
would result from destruction. The list is based on academic considerations and does not take into
account the problems of preservation.
However, destruction of field monuments continues to be rapid and widespread, and the
increasing rarity of these monuments makes it desirable that as many as possible of those listed in
the Inventory should be preserved. Also, the extent and impressiveness of surface remains are not
the only indications of archaeological importance; their significance can often only be appreciated
after excavation. Destruction should therefore not be permitted before archaeological investigation
has taken place.
12. We desire to express our acknowledgement of the good work accomplished by our executive
staff in the production of this volume, particularly by Mr. C. C. Taylor and Mrs. F. M. Brown
who carried out the fieldwork and the preparation of the Inventory, by the editor Mr. S. D. T.
Spittle, by Dr. B. E. A. Jones who carried out research in the Public Record Office, by our
illustrators Mr. R. E. Beeton and Mr. P. N. Hammond and by our photographers Mr. J.
Parkinson, Mr. R. Braybrook, and Mr. H. Marsden. We are also grateful for the work done by
our chief photographer Mr. R. E. W. Parsons and by Mr. J. N. Hampton who assisted with the
aerial photography.
13. Since the publication of our 38th Report Your Majesty has appointed Mr. S. D. T. Spittle
and Mr. E. Barbour-Mercer, members of the executive staff of the Commission, Officers of Your
Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
14. Mr. Robert William McDowall, C.B.E., M.A., F.S.A., retired from the Secretaryship of the
Royal Commission in 1979, and Dr. Peter Jon Fowler, M.A., F.S.A., was appointed to succeed
15. We desire to add that our Secretary and General Editor, Dr. P. J. Fowler, has afforded us
constant assistance.
16. The next Inventory in the Northamptonshire series will record archaeological sites within

Doug, TX
After many years of trading and searching for consistently successful option strategies, I am very fortunate to have found Morris at San Jose Options. The best way I can describe him is...Morris is the Steve Jobs of the options world...and I don't say that lightly.
Morris is completely in a league of his own with his thorough understanding of options, his unique strategies, and his innovative SJ Troo software. Morris' approach is obvious and down-to-earth: create high probability trades. To do this, Morris takes conventional low probability trades and morphs them into super trades. His trades can yield substantial profits, are generally safe against market crashes, and require a minimum of time to manage.
Morris is a patient teacher. His trades are clearly defined with specific parameters and adjustment guidelines. He provides everything needed to thoroughly understand the strategies and software: excellent written materials, live online classes, and video recordings, as well as personal mentoring and email support.
I asked Morris if there is one simple all-weather trade, a trade for all seasons that I can trade week after week with consistent results. Morris showed me the Diggit. It's amazing how the Diggit works...even I can trade it consistently with success...and that says a lot. Morris has been able to accomplish what I have found nowhere else. I highly recommend Morris and the team at San Jose Options.

You're one step closer to paradise...
Hanalei Bay's two-mile crescent-shaped beach is perfect for walking. Especially with that mountain—laced with waterfalls--as a backdrop.
In the summer, sailboats dot the tranquil bay and kayakers ply the waters. (Note: Not so in winter. Then, it's all about the big waves and epic surf.)
Some prefer playing football on the beach.
Lines form on the historic Hanalei Pier where the young like to jump, flip and dive into the water. (Note: Even though the signs clearly say, "Danger" and "No jumping" and "Shallow water.")
Some even scamper onto the pavilion's roof for more Olympian performances, in spite of the decaying roof. (Note: We certainly do not recommend this.)
Campers at Black Pot Beach Park wake up to a view of Hanalei Bay out their front doors and the Hanalei River through their wide windows.

On being in the spotlight
"Perfectionism is really a challenge for me, and it causes me to be super-critical of myself in so many ways: about body image constantly; about parenting; about being a mother. For me, that's still my most important job, ever, and I don't want to mess it up. And yet, there's no perfect way to do it! You know? It's important to have an examined life—but it's a fine line between having an examined life and being hypercritical of oneself. There has to be balance in there somewhere. I haven't found it yet. When I do, I'll let you know."

Jobs lost: Who benefits? Part 1 of 2
By Raymond Barend
Messenger Post
Posted Jun 23, 2012 @ 08:38 PM
This is a quote from the President's State of the Union address on Jan. 24, 2012: "No American company should be able to avoid paying its fair share of taxes by moving jobs and profits overseas. From now on, every multinational company should have to pay a basic minimum tax."
My concern is when he said, "From now on. " What this tells me is Congress knew exactly what was happening to our jobs over those many years. They took no action to stop the outsourcing of jobs from leaving our country.
Many of our factories are closed, and our manufacturing and domestic jobs have disappeared by literally moving them out of our country over the past several years, and thereby meticulously eliminating America's middle class. All this happened under the watchful eyes of our (then) Congress, their supporting lobbyists and special interest groups.
Bain Capital had been a huge well-organized business that has eliminated America's industries; again under more watchful eyes of (the chosen one). They have devastated the American middle class and unions through an unethical but legal system, making many multi-millionaires. Unfortunately, very little has changed in the corporate world with the way things are managed for their own benefits. The other benefactors in this equation are America's large retailers that benefit the most, as they have purchased their merchandise from foreign countries for resale in the United States. To qualify my statement, pick up the item you have purchased and see where it was made.
Before unions were organized, employees were at the mercy of the employer. Most corporate employers had no idea what the word "democracy" meant or how it was defined. Employees had 12-hour workdays, seven days a week. There was no such thing as a vacation. They worked for minuscule wages, just barely enough to get by on. There were no health benefits of any kind. Unions and democracy brought the employees to elevated living conditions, the newly created and evolving middle class. For years, employers and employees all managed to survive fairly well until many became greedy.
The employees should also share in part of the greed concept. The unions became very powerful negotiators, which has led to many concessions by corporations over the years. Some of these concessions certainly added to the corporations' financial problems. The unions have recently made many concessions to assist in bringing prosperity back to where it belongs, the USA.

Jobs lost: Who benefits? Part 2 of 2
Nothing will change, unless we the people demand it,
The enforcement of decent working ethics was always a major concern of our once industrialized nation. To emphasize the downside of poor working ethics, I am releasing some information I received from a retired person and a very close friend of mine.
A young woman just out of high school started working for a large auto parts industry in Rochester. The year was 1949, and at that time there was no employee bargaining unit. With no bargaining unit in place, the women were at the mercy of management. They were not allowed to leave their workstation until break time. This was a carburetor production line of approximately 60 people (about 90 percent were women). If anyone had to use the restroom, they were forced to endure the pain or let it run down their legs until their break. Their break was seven minutes, and they had to be accompanied by a matron to the bathroom. They were not allowed to fraternize with fellow employees. This young woman did not even let them know that she was pregnant, because she was afraid of losing her job. The women then devised a plan to stuff rags into their underpants in case they were to have a problem.
This occurred for quite some time until they voted for union representation. It is my understanding Management gave them a very tough time when it came time to voting on joining the union. I hope I do not have to wonder how you would have voted if you were allowed the opportunity.
The USA and many other countries live in a world of plutocracy. Plutocracy is a government run by and for the wealthy class. Things will never change until we, the people, demand real change from all political parties. Being wealthy is great as long as you do not rob someone to attain your wealth. We, the working class, have been robbed of our livelihood and can no longer sustain a decent standard of living when we have a plutocracy-run government. I am sure we soon will be working for wages that require us to live below the poverty level. I believe anyone holding office who stood by, and allowed the downgrading of America's middle class, should be voted out of office.
I see a possible solution to part of this dilemma. For both management and employees: It would be to follow the rules and regulations governing contract negotiations and would include a no-strike clause.

3 — Mediation
4 — Arbitration

The Ultra can operate in a variety of orientations, allowing it to adapt to differing field layouts. When in its Linear Mode, the system uses furrow, cable, concrete ditch or buried wire to guide the system laterally. When in its Pivot Mode, the spans rotate around a stationary 4-wheel tractor pivot point enabling adjacent parallel fields to be irrigated with one system.
Options for a water supply include drag hose, side ditch or straddle ditch configurations.

Theft of copper wiring and other scrap metal have grown exponentially in recent years. Twenty-eight states have laws targeting theft of copper and other scrap metal. Just to get a few hundred dollars from the copper, thieves can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to a center-pivot system, plus the cost of precious down time.
The full line of CableGuard products will include:
• Heavy duty stainless steel banding: Banding can be spaced at the discretion of the installer. The overall effort (time and labor) required to get through the banding and remove the span cable can deter thieves. Shims are installed under each stainless steel band, which can be spaced every 48 inches or less. The closer the bands are spaced, the greater they deter would-be thieves.
• Heavy Duty Flexible Steel Conduit: Placed over the entire span cable and held in place with multiple stainless steel bands spaced every 48 inches or less. The conduit provides additional protection of the span cable by making it more difficult and time consuming for a vandal to cut the cable.
• Heavy Duty Mesh w/Steel Conduit: Similar to the heavy duty flexible steel conduit but with stainless steel mesh protecting the conduit. The stainless steel mesh reinforces the conduit and makes it more difficult for thieves to cut the cable.
• Cable Armor: Envelops the span cable and attaches to the pipe via heavy duty U-bolt clamps. Clamps are difficult to cut through and removal with a wrench would be difficult because of the lock nuts. When properly installed, the width of the guard makes it extremely difficult to cut the span cable with bolt cutters.
• GSM CableGuard Monitor: Voice and SMS (text message) dialing system monitors for cutting the span cable, power to the machine and safety status. Capable of sending alerts to 10 different telephone numbers via pre-recorded voice message, SMS or both.
Contact your Valley Irrigation dealers for more information about the CableGuard line of products or learn more by visiting www.ValleyIrrigation.com.

[Verse 1]
I'm like what happened to us maybe I'm rappin too much
I been missin your touch sometimes I'm out and I lust
What if love ain't enough and all we have is this trust
What if im fucking that up so you don't trust in me much
I'm wasting your time to say I'm straight I'd be lying
It's either you or this music but I can't make up my mind
I'd throw you a line I'd give you a sign
Right now I'm through with the trying I think you're ready to fly
I settle for less so when I'm tired of stress
I go through with the motions pretending I'm at my best
Fall victim to flesh I live to be fresh
But this ain't what I expect because my life is a wreck
I run out of breath cause I ain't taking the steps
Money comes and it goes til family's all I got left
I'm seeing my growth but I'm still from myself
You'll be hollering out next because you're ready to fly
I can't find the words so you'll just fill in the blanks
I'm doing the norm and not what it takes
I'll keep foldin my cards and you'll keep raising the stakes
Til we forget about us and what we have is too late
I know in your heart you ain't conditioned to race
So I steady the wheel forever pumpin' the breaks
Resort to the bottle thats how I deal with the shakes
Lyrics provided by http://www.kovideo.net/
Source - http://www.kovideo.net/red-eye-lyrics-big-krit-1281661.html
Pray for these haters thats how I deal with the hate
Look to the sky don't be content with the now
You ain't concerned with the why you just wanna know how
I didn't give her the chance when you just wanna be down
And save me from myself but I'm wanting to drown
King is much more than the weight of a crown
As good as it feels that ain't the way that it sounds
Being single is cool til ain't nobody around
Then I'm chasing you down cause you was ready to fly
I can't be what you want me to be
You're shooting too high cause you ain't aiming at me
One minute you're calling out for the D
Then the next minute you wanna be free
Then the next minute you hollerin' out peace
Although I know it's a war and they'll be blood in the street
If you call don't be frustrated at me
Just leave you're heart at the beep cause mine is harder to reach
Cause mine is harder to see
And that don't make it harder to cheat
Being friends would make it harder to breathe
So if you're ready to fly just forget about me
But if you're willing to try then I'm willing to leap
Out of the window of pain and fall in love at your feet
I ain't the man you want me to be
I guess that's whats been bothering me

Ernie Platfoot
Graduation Year: 1950
The Alumni Service Award recognizes outstanding volunteer service to Kettering University.
Ernie Platfoot has been an enthusiastic advocate and recruiter for Kettering University for many years, especially in the Fredericksburg, Texas area. Ernie has helped build a pipeline to Kettering University from Fredericksburg High School through the school's innovative STEM technology program called SystemsGO Aerospace. The unique curriculum excites and inspires students to consider STEM careers by challenging them to research, design, build and launch rockets that break the sound barrier. The program is one of two organizations qualified to launch rockets at the White Sands Proving Grounds. The other is the United States Federal Government. The program has now been spread to 40 other high schools in Texas and continues to grow (more information is available at SystemsGo.org). Three students from the program have gone on to become Kettering students -- Hunter Casbeer, Efrain Quezada and Justin Junell (who now works at NASA along with his wife Rebecca, also a Kettering alumna).
Ernie was a "GM Brat," attending school in nine different districts before graduating from high school. He graduated from GMI/Kettering in 1950 and then spent the next three years in the United States Army, serving in Korea. He was discharged in 1953. Ernie worked for three years in the retail automobile and insurance businesses and joined the Buick Division of General Motors in 1956. In the mid 1960s, he and Frank Andrews '50 started the New England Chapter of the GMI Alumni Association. They received a lot of help and direction from Charlie Sheridan, then Director of the Alumni Association, and that started a friendship that has lasted to the present. In the mid 1970s, at the behest of friends in California, and again with the help of Sheridan, his son Fred enrolled at GMI. Fred graduated in 1981 and is still employed in GM's Engineering Department. Ernie retired in 1991 after a 35 year career in the Sales Department. He and his wife Sandy ranched for 13 years and he became active in the Fredericksburg, Texas, Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce, Fredericksburg Education Initiative and the Lutheran Church.
Ernie believes his education at GMI/Kettering was unique and beneficial to his career, and he plans to continue supporting Kettering through the SystemsGo program, among other ways.

AES E-Library
Ultra-High Quality Video Frame Synchronous Audio Coding
Two methods of coding and delivering ultra-high-quality audio are presented. Both methods are video frame synchronous and editable at common video frame rates (23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, and 30 frames per second) without the use of sample-rate converters. The first is an ultra-high-quality audio coder that exceeds 4.8 on the ITU-R five-point audio impairment scale at a bit rate of 256 kbit/s per channel and at up to three generations of encoding/decoding. The second is an enhanced method of video frame synchronous PCM packing. Specifically the problem of transmitting 48-kHz audio in 29.97-Hz frames is examined.

Hello I am trying to reclaim a lost puppy that I bought for my son. It's a boston Terrier that I bought for my son as a gift. He has sickle cell disease and the dog Dexter is his name has been therapeutic for him. The finder is not trying to release him to its. It has been about 10 months yet we just saw the dog a week ago in which at that time the finder said that we could have the dog back then a couple days later text me and told me that he and his wife decided to keep him. They live not even 100 yards from us in our neighborhood. What can I do to reclaim our boston who is family.
He slipped out our back door after taking a bath and we could not locate him after checking the local authorities. He was noticed chopped. I tried the local authorities at that time and there was no sign of him. I have doctor records and have been in contact with the person that I purchased him from to vouch for my ownership. What can I do?

NEW YORK (MainStreet) — Do you have a good grip on your retirement?
Be honest — a really good grip?
Ameriprise Financial, the Minneapolis-based financial services giant, doesn't think so. In fact, Ameriprise says there may be a significant "emotional disconnect" between your retirement goals and retirement reality.
The firm based its analysis on its Retirement Check-In Survey of 1,000 U.S. employees ages 50-70.
At first blush, Ameriprise says America has a good, healthy, positive mindset toward retirement. The firm says 78% of Americans expect to be "extremely happy." Ameriprise's data cite the belief among workers that they can look forward to ample free time with loved ones, the ability to travel the globe or spend quality time with favorite hobbies.
This is where that "disconnect" enters the picture. Ameriprise says that, on average, most Americans have a gap of $250,000 before they can retire in the relatively cushy lifestyle described above. Furthermore, 68% of U.S. workers say they plan on working in retirement.
"There seems to be a significant disconnect between the expectations that Americans have for their lifestyle in retirement and the financial steps they're taking — or not taking — to make those expectations a reality," says Suzanna de Baca, vice president of wealth strategies at Ameriprise Financial. "The good news is there are several things that most people are doing right, and there are steps that everyone can take to help build their financial readiness for retirement."
- 46% believe they'll be able to pay for "essential" expenses in retirement, including housing, utilities and health care costs.
- 36% believe they'll have enough money in retirement for travel and hobbies. (Compare that with the 78% who say they'll be "very happy" in retirement and the disconnect theory really begins to make sense.)
- About 38% say they don't have an "accurate" understanding of expected retirement costs (i.e., basic living expenses and travel and hobby budgets). Common sense says that if you haven't broken out the calculator and hammered out a rough blueprint of expected living expenses after you leave the workforce, you just may have a retirement disconnect. (BankingMyWay.com has a great retirement planning calculator. Find it here.
- Despite the vast majority of survey respondents who say they expect a pleasant, comfortable retirement, only 32% of workers believe they are saving enough for it. Ameriprise calls this uncertainty "troubling" for tens of millions of Americans.
- Americans say they need almost $1 million saved for retirement, but most say they are nowhere that. On average, U.S. workers say they need to save another $250,000 for retirement, but, aside from counting on their home equity, have no idea how they'll save the money. Ameriprise calls that "surprising" given the anxious state of the U.S. housing market.
