In the early 1960s, our family, with JJ Hilsinger at the helm, moved to Sault Ste. Marie to begin our first enterprise; a food distribution business. In short time, we bought a piece of property in the northeast section of the city which was still quite rural. Today it is the busiest commercial corridor in the Sault. The property housed a failing Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet, which we took over, gradually expanding the franchise to six stores. We still chuckle at old black and white photos of lines of customers who would line up for our delicious crisp chicken, locally referred to as JJ's chicken.
In 1974, we began construction of a 4-story motor hotel on the original property, and named it the Water Tower Inn for its location next to the city's water tower. The new Inn was famous for having a honey-moon suite featuring the Sault's first over-size whirlpool tub; and also for the live bands we'd bring into the Sawmill Lounge.
Over the years, the Inn evolved to broader facilities, architectural features and name; first to Algoma's Water Tower Inn, and presently, Algoma's Water Tower Inn & Suites. We always preferred to stay independent, and share our own vision of what hospitality is.
From 1985 to 1999, we were the developers and operators of Searchmont Ski Resort, building it into a destination resort offering the best skiing in the Midwest.
We have always relied on the collective personalities of our committed staff to help us deliver our personal brand of hospitality. Thousands of Sault Ste. Marie individuals have been employed in our enterprises over the years. Virtually every family in Sault Ste. Marie has been part of our operations in one way or another.
Whether you are in the Sault for business or leisure, we want to share our comfortable Inn with you, so that business is a pleasure and travel is more fun.
The Inn is a perfect family hang-out. The kids love Club Cabana's hot tubs and pools (we go swimming at least once a day), and there's always something tasty on Casey's Kid's menu. For me, I love that there's a fridge in every room, and that I can request a microwave...it makes small family meals a cinch.

There are almost too many Black Friday deals out there so let's narrow it down to the 5 absolute must see deals to jump on tomorrow. Suck it, hippies.
#1 Bud's Gun Shop
You're reading that right, Canik's CZ-75 based 9mm for $99 and a 12gauge shotgun for $49. If that's not enough for you, there's also running Bushmaster XM15 patrol rifles for $599.
#2 Wal Mart
As usual, WalMart keeps it simple. 20% off all firearms.
That's another 20% off of what are already the lowest prices on the market.
#3 Primary Arms
$8.49 for Gen3 PMags.
Let me say that again, $8.49 for Gen 3 PMags.
There's a lot of other deals from Primary Arms but that headliner should be enough to get you over there. I've already ordered more than my fair share.
#4 Tombstone Tactical
With the much talked about H&K VP9 discounted more than 200 dollars, Tombstone is making a big push for your Black Friday business.
Other deals include a complete Delton AR-15 for $499, Colt LE6920's for just $850, and a Bushmaster .308 battle rifle for $975.
#5 Sportsman's Warehouse
The Jeff Cooper inspired Ruger Gunsite .308 for $694.
Bushmaster Carbon-15's for $499.
For you 1911 guys out there a monster sale,the Para 1911 Expert for just $299.
See what I mean... suck it hippes.
When I said there would be some amazing Black Friday deals, I had no idea that Bud's Gun Shop was going to blow everyone out of the water.
What started as a leaked flyer with hand written notes has turned into a confirmed Black Friday sale of epic proportions.
Headlining the deal is the Canik S-120 (a CZ-75 clone) in chrome for just $99 and an Emporer Guardian Tactical 12-gauge pump action shotgun for just $49.
Click here to check out the amazing deals Bud's is running this weekend!
If you want to thank me, one of those $99 Canik's would look great as a stocking stuffer. Just saying.
If you're curious, here's the original flyer that "leaked out"
Best. Black Friday. Ever.
Have you been thinking about a new pistol, rifle, or accessories for the holidays? Of course you have!
Thanks to the guys over at SlickGuns and our sources in the industry, we've got you up to date on the latest deals and rumors for Black Friday.

Guns & Ammo, the 800 lb. gorilla of the rapidly declining gun world old media, is suing a small website for telling the truth.
The hubbub comes from Guns & Ammo's coverage of the new Taurus Curve. As is usual for any cover article in the magazine, the coverage was glowing.
It helps to get glowing coverage when cover articles can cost $25,000 or more - a well known secret in the gun industry.
GunsSaveLife.com wrote an article pointing out how bad Guns & Ammo's coverage of the gun was - that they ignored the lack of sights on the gun among other facts. When you are commenting on media and media coverage, you are allowed to use their content to show how bad is (or good, in the case of outlets other than Guns & Ammo in this case).
This is permitted under the Fair Use exemption in United States copyright law. But Guns & Ammo wants to play the big bully on the block and threaten a small website. Too bad it's going to backfire.
As for Guns & Ammo's history of glowing reviews, one need not look any further than the literary blowjob they gave the Remington R-51. We're talking about a gun that was such a turd it was recalled after just a few weeks on market and all owners were given refunds.
Almost EVERY media outlet called it a piece of crap... but not Guns & Ammo. They loved it - and it was on that expensive cover yet again.
Here's the letter they sent to GunsSaveLife.com:
To Whom it May Concern,
Regarding your website's illegal use of our photography and slanderous statements about our publication (Guns & Ammo), you have until Nov. 21, 2014 at 8 a.m. CT to remove all content from your website that was stolen and/or improperly quoting our publication.
If the material is not removed by that time, we will seek legal action immediately.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Dusty, you can call me John.
He said to call with any questions, so I did. I called him to get some specifics of how I slandered them in calling their story on the new Taurus gun what it was: a puff piece.
Dusty's reply: "I'm going to have to defer to my publisher on that."
Fair enough, Dusty.
Frankly, that G&A story was a disservice to their readers. I stand by what I wrote. Taurus' new gun is dangerous and liable to get users killed or sued.
Little did I know Guns & Ammo would threaten to sue us for reporting the truth.
I told Dusty the piece wouldn't be coming down now or tomorrow or anytime after that.
Guess I won't be writing for Guns & Ammo anytime soon. Oh darn.
Jay Leno showed just how much of a empty suit he is today by cancelling his long scheduled speech a the "State of the Industry" dinner during SHOT Show. Why did he cave? Because of a comment from a family member from one of the victims of Sandy Hook.
"Like, really, Jay? You said you support background checks, but then you're emceeing for the gun lobby that fought against them?" asked Erica Lafferty, the youngest daughter of slain Sandy Hook principal Dawn Hochsprung.
"That doesn't add up, and no one, especially not those of us who have had our families torn apart by gun violence, are laughing," she said.
I am equally shocked. I would expect a principal's child to know better than to start a sentence with "Like, really".
It's not as if NSSF kidnapped Leno to bring him to the event at the last minute and hid what it was. This is the largest show in the shooting world and Leno's been scheduled for months.
So, we'll find a new host and I'll continue watching Letterman.
Our friends at We Like Shooting talked about it during their show last night:
Here's what NSSF had to say:
We are clearly disappointed by Jay Leno's decision not to perform at the 2015 SHOT Show State of the Industry Dinner. He unilaterally cancelled his promised appearance due to pressure from the anti-gun lobby, which included false statements about our industry and its commitment to genuine firearms safety, which we attempted to personally correct with him, but to no avail.
We are not deterred by their publicity seeking nor are we unfamiliar with the bullying political tactics of the gun control groups that seem to have as little respect for the First Amendment as they continually demonstrate with regard to the Second Amendment.
We are proud of the many programs that we run that meaningfully contribute to public safety including our long standingProject ChildSafe and Don't Lie for the Other Guy initiatives in addition to our members everyday work in compliance with comprehensive federal and state laws. We will not allow the lawful commerce in firearms nor our industry to be demonized and we will continue to speak out for the Second Amendment rights of the millions of law-abiding citizens who are our customers.
Despite Mr. Leno's cancellation, we look forward to having our biggest and best State of the Industry Dinner to date with a performer that respects the contributions of our industry and the customers it supports.
How many times have you heard someone say, "my Glock 42 is just too uncomfortable" or "my LCP prints too much"?
Never? Same here, but obviously Taurus thinks there's a market of people who think mouse guns are too bulky to carry.
The much maligned Brazilian firearms company, has released their newest offering called "The Curve". The company claims the gun is:
The world's first and only curved firearm engineered to fit the unique contours of your body, Taurus Curve™ is one ultra-comfortable, ultra-reliable personal defense handgun.
All the cool kids know sights are for suckers, right? So Taurus got rid of them as well. Instead, they are using a "bore-axis sighting system for instinctual shooting" which sounds an awful lot like "you better practice your point shooting" to me.
Upsides of the new gun? It weighs just over 10 ounces empty and comes with an integrated light and a frickin' laser integrated into the frame.
Is this a marketing gimmick or the result of long hours of R&D to optimize the curve of the frame for comfort and concealment? I'll get my hands on one and find out but my first impression is that it needs sights and, based on the crowd at the last gun show I was at, it's goign to take a lot more curve than this for some people.
Meaningful innovation in the firearms industry is a rarity so I applaud Taurus for thinking outside the box. The next year or two should be a boom time for firearms owners as companies try to separate themselves with new ideas.
Some of the ideas will be good, some will be stir-fried dog poop. Where do you think the Taurus Curve will fit in?
Nothing says a good time at the range like an M1 Garand exploding in your hands, am I right?
In what looks like a squib induced catastrophic failure, this woman gets to do a quick finger count and hope she reaches 10.
Squibs are less common with factory ammunition than with reloads yet something all shooters need to be familiar with - for obvious reasons.
For a quick primer on squibs (get it, lol), check out this video:
A Nashville, Tennessee homeowner is thanking his .45 for saving his life.
The man told police he was watching television in his living room while his wife slept on the couch when a man wearind a bandana for a mask entered their house armed with a 9mm handgun demanding money and goods.
The homeowner originally complied with the demands but it wasn't enough for the thief.
As the thief was "dealing with the wife", the homeowner ran to another room and grabbed his .45.
Realizing the homeowner was now armed, the intruder raised his handgun and the two exchanged fire. Despite being struck several times in the arm and hip, the intruder fled the home - collapsing in the front yard.
He was pronounced dead shortly after being transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Police have not released the intruder's identity at this time, but say he is under indictment for burglary and theft charges in another case.
Editors Note: Our friend Julie from Julie on Politics sent over an article worth a read for all gun owners. When anti-gunners tell you you're discussing a slippery slope argument... remind them that gun control has always gone down that slope.
The United Kingdom's new gun law should be a warning to all Americans of what can happen when a government bent on confiscating guns gets out of control.
The British Home Office is now permitting police to enter the homes of registered gun owners unannounced and without a warrant in order to inspect their firearms storage. There are now even fewer restrictions on the British government's ability to confiscate firearms.
The law simply states that police can conduct unannounced searches based on a "particular threat" or "risk of harm", although it doesn't explain what that would be. A British police organization sent out letters encouraging people to call a "hotline" to report anything suspicious.
Barack Obama has said over and over that the UK's gun laws should be an example for the US. When he exploited the 2013 shooting at the Washington Navy Yard, he proclaimed: "In the United Kingdom, in Australia, when just a single mass shooting occurred in those countries…They endured great heartbreak, but they also mobilized and they changed."
Obama hasn't said anything about the new UK gun control laws yet — but he also isn't condemning them.
Americans must prevent this kind of policy from coming stateside. The Second and Fourth Amendments will become nothing more than words on a page if such appalling invasions of privacy are allowed.
A burglar was caught by an armed homeowner and held at gunpoint... twice in a single day.
It all started when Brian Hiner awoke to the sound of his dogs barking. While looking to see what they were barking at, Brian heard someone inside his home.
"I hear something behind me because the basement doors are right behind me and I hear somebody and it's him, he's right behind me coming up the staircase,"said Hiner.
Brian quickly called 911 and grabbed his handgun, keeping the intruder pinned in the basement.
Police arrived and took the intruder, 26-year-old Michael Roberts into custody. But while police were speaking to Brian, Roberts simply got out of the police cruiser and took off on foot.
"This other cruiser pulled up and saw that he got out and started running towards the cornfield and that's when they panicked. They didn't even know how he got out of the cop car, they just knew he got out and the chase was on," said Brian
While running from the cops, Roberts targeted another home - and the 15-year-old boy home alone. According to 14 News,
"I was home sending an email to my teachers about homework when my dogs started barking and I looked out the window but I didn't see anybody there so I went to the top of the stairs with the gun to make sure there wasn't anybody downstairs and then that's when the door opened and I saw him," said Justin Kugler.
Kugler says he was pretty scared because he noticed Roberts had a knife on him, but he was armed and ready for Roberts at the top of the stairs.
"I told him to get out of the house or I'm going to shoot you," said Justin Kugler.
"Guns have always been an important thing in our family and he knew what to do when the problem came up," said Jarrett Kugler.
Roberts was then apprehended for a second time just outside of the Kugler's home.
"I feel pretty good about it that I could have saved other people's houses and their property," said Justin Kugler.
A trip to Wal-Mart for fish hooks turned into much more for a United States Marine now serving as a Lieutenant in the West Virginia Air National Guard.
According to a Laughlin Air Force Base press release,
The West Virginia Air National Guardsman was walking to the Hunting and Fishing section when he heard a woman say, "Stop, put it down!"
"I could tell she was stressed and she sounded frightened," said Nelson. "I looked into the aisle, and this young man had a knife to a woman's stomach."
According to police reports, the young man was mad at his mother, who he had a knife to, because she wouldn't buy him a gun. Nelson told his wife Brittany to go alert the store manager and call the police.
Nelson, who has a concealed weapons permit stepped up beside the woman.
"I put my hand on my pistol where he'd notice, and then I stepped in between them," said Nelson. "I kept demanding he hand me the knife. I wanted him to see only one option. As I was standing beside that lady, I felt like I was responsible for her life. I was going to do whatever I had to do to protect her."
Then, according to the police report, Nelson went from trying to stop a murder to trying to stop a suicide when the assailant turned the knife on himself.
Nelson pointed to his training and the Air National Guard and previously in the Marine Corps as helping him talk the young man down.
By this time, several Wal-Mart employees had joined Nelson's effort. "When he handed me the knife, he turned like he was going to just leave," said Nelson. "We told him he needed to have a seat and wait for the police to arrive."
"It was the most surreal five minutes of my life while waiting for the police," said Nelson. He added that throughout the entire event, he was never scared.
Editor's Note: This article was posted on the blog of our friend, attorney John Pierce. We are reprinting it in it's entirety because John's smarter than we are and did a great job.
The issuance of a protective order has become an increasingly common event in our judicial system and those who own firearms need to be particularly aware of the implications of becoming the subject of such an order. And this is certainly true of those who own a valuable NFA collection.
By now, I believe that most people understand that during the time a person is subject to a protective order, they may be subject to a prohibition on the possession of a firearm. However, in an interesting twist on the topic, I received a call from a potential client this morning asking whether this prohibition on possession might also apply to suppressors.
My initial thought was that suppressors are not firearms and are little different than a scope or other accessory.
However, I knew better than to apply the cold light of pure logic to a legal question and so I started with a quick review of Virginia state law.
Section 18.2-308.1:4 of the Code of Virginia governs the purchase or transportation (but not mere possession) of firearms by persons subject to protective orders.
It is unlawful for any person who is subject to (i) a protective order … to purchase or transport any firearm while the order is in effect. Any person with a concealed handgun permit shall be prohibited from carrying any concealed firearm, and shall surrender his permit to the court entering the order, for the duration of any protective order referred to herein. A violation of this section is a Class 1 misdemeanor.
A quick review of Virginia law and case law fails to show that the term 'firearm' should be expanded to encompass a suppressor and in any case, Virginia law only prohibits the purchase and transportation of 'firearms'. It does not prohibit their continued possession.
So … It appears that we do not have a state law issue. Now we turn to federal law.
18 U.S.C. 922(g)(8) is the federal statute which governs the transportation and possession of firearms (and ammunition) by those subject to certain protective orders.
(g) It shall be unlawful for any person
(8) who is subject to a court order that—
(A) was issued after a hearing of which such person received actual notice, and at which such person had an opportunity to participate;
(B) restrains such person from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner of such person or child of such intimate partner or person, or engaging in other conduct that would place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of bodily injury to the partner or child; and
(C) (i) includes a finding that such person represents a credible threat to the physical safety of such intimate partner or child; or
(ii) by its terms explicitly prohibits the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against such intimate partner or child that would reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury; …
to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.
It should be noted that this only applies to certain protective orders that meet enhanced requirements. However, we are once again left with the term 'firearm' that may be subject to definition. In fact, we do have such a definition in 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(3).
(a) As used in this chapter
(3) The term "firearm" means
(A) any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive;
(B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon;
(C) any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; or
(D) any destructive device. Such term does not include an antique firearm.
So there you have it. If you are subject to a protective order that meets the requirements of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(8) then you must treat your suppressor just like a firearm or ammunition and the federal prohibition on possession and transportation will apply.
If you are uncertain whether the protective order against you meets these requirements, I would recommend assuming that the prohibition does apply out of an abundance of caution.
Should you receive notice that you are subject to such a protective order, I recommend immediately surrendering possession and control of your firearms, suppressors, and ammunition to a joint trustee of your trust if you are using a trust to hold your items, or, if not, to a trusted friend or family member for the duration of the protective order.

Big 3 East Updates and Videos
Kelli from Teal Blue Bravo sits down and shows us the new Nickel Boron version of the PDQ Ambi-bolt release at the Fall Version of the Big 3 event in Daytona Florida.
BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Illinois, challenging that state's concealed carry statute that restricts otherwise qualified non-residents the rights and privileges of carrying concealed firearms based solely on their state of residence.
Joining SAF in this legal action are the Illinois State Rifle Association, Illinois Carry, Inc., and ten individual plaintiffs, all residing in other states and who are licensed to carry in those states. Under the restrictive Illinois statute, only residents from states with "substantially similar" requirements to obtain a carry license are allowed to apply for non-resident licenses.
Only four states currently qualify under that provision. They are Hawaii, New Mexico, South Carolina and Virginia. None of the individual plaintiffs reside in those states.
According to SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb, this situation is not simply unfair, it is untenable and we believe unconstitutional.
"Our plaintiffs have qualified for carry permits or licenses in their own states," Gottlieb said, "which means they have gone through background checks and other requirements that show they are responsible, law-abiding citizens. Yet, because of the current Illinois statute, their self-defense rights are suspended immediately after they cross the Illinois state line."
Named as defendants in the lawsuit are Attorney General Lisa Madigan, Illinois State Police Director Hiram Grau and Jessica Trame, bureau chief of the State Police Firearms Service Bureau. Plaintiffs are represented by attorney David Sigale of Glen Ellyn, Ill.
"This lawsuit," said Sigale, "is brought because it is unfair that otherwise qualified people from states outside Illinois, who work and travel in Illinois are barred from obtaining means to defend themselves in public solely based on their state of residence. We expect to correct that."
"We're asking the federal court for a declaratory judgment on equal protection and due process constitutional grounds," Gottlieb stated. "It makes no sense at all for Illinois to enforce such a narrowly-defined law that seems to recognize the rights of some non-residents, while dismissing the rights of most other non-residents. We can't allow that kind of discriminatory situation to stand."

Michael Zehaf-Bibeau used a lever action 30-30 rifle in his shooting spree in Ottawa last Wednesday. One of the many questions that remains however is: How did he get it? Michael Zehaf-Bibeau was not legally able to possess a gun in canada.
RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson revealed yesterday that Zehef-Bibeau was under a criminal prohibition from possessing firearms.
It is standard practice in Canada for courts to issue a lifetime gun ban to almost anyone convicted of a violent offence.
EDITOR'S NOTE: I just wanted to write a quick thank you to everyone from Imgur coming over to see the story. Here's a kitten picture for you:
Anti-gun Missouri State Senator Jamilah Nasheed was arrested in Ferguson, Missouri Monday night and was found in possession of a 9mm handgun and additional mags.
Police asked the State Senator to submit to a breathalyzer test after officers smelt alcohol on her breath.
Nasheed refused to answer questions about the handgun other than to say she has a concealed carry license and "always carries" her gun.
The Senator told reporters her protest was to show people that it's "It's not OK to protest violently in the name of Michael Brown. We all want justice, but we don't want violent protests."
Protesters on the ground, however, say the arrest was just a publicity stunt for the publicity obsessed politician. According to Tony Rice,
"She was the only one marching by herself and some dude she marched with. All of us protesting have been here all day. Then she shows up maybe 15 minutes ago, starting this crap. She was not over here protesting with us at all."
The Senator was also moved to the St. Ann jail at her request because the Ferguson jail is being remodeled.
Gun grabber hypocrisy knows no limits. Guns are bad for the average citizen but okay for the elites.

Your relationships are your most valuable assets.
Coloring on kids menus is kind of fun…
Turning 18 doesn't mean you automatically have to stop doing all the fun stuff you did when you were a kid. Neither does turning 20. Or 23. Or, like, 76.
"Being 27 is parallel to being a newly post-pubescent teenager; so many feels, so many conflicting emotions, so much self-inflicted pressure. At some point, it's just easier to pray you make it to 30 in one piece and resolve to figure it out from there…"
This is your youth, and it won't last forever. Do the things you've always wanted to — tell that boy that you like him, tell that girl that you've loved her all along. Dance every dance, sing along to every song.
There may be as many as 1,500 British Muslims currently fighting on behalf of the Muslim extremist group ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
How much harder you make things in your head.
2. You don't give a damn about getting into the hottest club in town.
The office will be there tomorrow and the day after that, but here? Who will make the eggs if you're not here?
"It's embarrassing. It's hurtful. Because it's like a father saying that he loves children outside of the family more than he loves his own."

preservation metadata
Preservation metadata is an essential component of most digital preservation strategies. As an increasing proportion of the world's information output shifts from analog to digital form, it is necessary to develop new strategies to preserve this information for the long-term. Preservation metadata is information that supports and documents the digital preservation process. Preservation metadata is sometimes considered a subset of technical or administrative metadata. Preservation metadata stores technical details on the format, structure and use of the digital content, the history of all actions performed on the resource including changes and decisions, the authenticity information such as technical features or custody history, and the responsibilities and rights information applicable to preservation actions. Preservation metadata is access-centered and should accomplish four themes: include details about files and instructions for use; document all updates or actions that have occurred to an object; show provenance and demonstrate current and future custody; list details on the individual(s) who are responsible for the preservation of the object.

programming language
Computer programming (often shortened to programming or coding) is the process of designing, writing, testing, debugging / troubleshooting, and maintaining the source code of computer programs. This source code is written in a programming language. The purpose of programming is to create a program that exhibits a certain desired behavior. The process of writing source code often requires expertise in many different subjects, including knowledge of the application domain, specialized algorithms and formal logic.

A persistent uniform resource locator (PURL) is a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) (i.e. location-based Uniform Resource Identifier or URI) that is used to redirect to the location of the requested Web resource. PURLs redirect HTTP clients using HTTP status codes. PURLs are used to curate the URL resolution process, thus solving the problem of transitory URIs in location-based URI schemes like HTTP. Technically the string resolution on PURL is like SEF URL resolution. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: PURL)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: 0.9%.
Python is an interpreted, general-purpose high-level programming language whose design philosophy emphasizes code readability. Python aims to combine "remarkable power with very clear syntax", and its standard library is large and comprehensive. Its use of indentation for block delimiters is unique among popular programming languages. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, primarily but not limited to object-oriented, imperative and, to a lesser extent, functional programming styles. It features a fully dynamic type system and automatic memory management, similar to that of Scheme, Ruby, Perl, and Tcl. Like other dynamic languages, Python is often used as a scripting language, but is also used in a wide range of non-scripting contexts.

real audio
RealAudio is a proprietary audio format developed by RealNetworks and first released in 1995. It uses a variety of audio codecs, ranging from low-bitrate formats that can be used over dialup modems, to high-fidelity formats for music. It can also be used as a streaming audio format, that is played at the same time as it is downloaded. In the past, many internet radio stations used RealAudio to stream their programming over the internet in real time. In recent years, however, the format has become less common and has given way to more popular audio formats. RealAudio was heavily used by the BBC websites until 2009, though due to its declining use, only BBC World Service is still available in this format.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City said that manufacturing activity picked up somewhat in its district in November. The composite index rose from 4 in October to 7 in November, its highest level in four months. Along those lines, the pace of production (up from 3 to 9), shipments (up from zero to 7) and employment (up from 6 to 9) improved for the month. In addition, export sales (up from -9 to 8) were positive for the first time since April. Yet, growth remains far from robust, with new orders (down from 2 to 1) decelerating for the fourth consecutive month and just barely above neutral. (continue reading…)
Kansas City Fed Reported Increased Manufacturing Activity in November
Wisconsin Added the Most Manufacturing Jobs in October
The Bureau of Labor Statistics said that Wisconsin created the most net new manufacturing workers in October, hiring 5,400 additional employees for the month. Other states with significant increases in manufacturing employment in October included Pennsylvania (up 2,700), Indiana (up 2,500), Minnesota (up 2,300), Oregon (up 2,200) and South Carolina (up 2,100). Looking over the past 12 months, the five states with the greatest manufacturing employment gains were Indiana (up 24,100), Texas (up 14,900), Ohio (up 13,700), Wisconsin (up 12,100) and Minnesota (up 10,500).

NAM Partners with Global Business Dialogue to Promote Environmental Goods Agreement
This morning the NAM and the Global Business Dialogue hosted a discussion about the Environmental Goods Agreement (EGA) negotiations underway at the World Trade Organization (WTO). NAM's Linda Dempsey, Vice President for International Economic Affairs, spoke about the benefits to manufacturing of a broad EGA, mentioning that, "increased trade and global engagement is vital for our manufacturers. With only a 9 percent share of the global $11 trillion market in manufactured goods trade outside our borders, manufacturers can and should be able to expand commercial opportunities.
Consumer Prices Were Unchanged in October
The Bureau of Labor Statistics said that consumer prices were unchanged in October. Over the past 12 months, consumer inflation has risen 1.7 percent. In addition, core prices, which exclude food and energy costs, were up 1.8 percent year-over-year. As such, core inflation continues to remain below the Federal Reserve's stated goal of 2 percent at the annual rate, which it has now done for 20 consecutive months. Overall, these trends mirror the producer price index data released earlier in the week.
In particular, Americans continue to benefit from falling energy prices, which declined 1.9 percent in October and have dropped in each of the past four months. Since peaking in June, total consumer energy costs have decreased 5.4 percent. Indeed, we have seen the average price of regular gasoline decline from $3.64 a gallon during the week of June 23 to $2.86 a gallon this week, according to the Energy Information Administration.

Philly Fed Manufacturers Were Very Positive about Activity in November
The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia said that manufacturing activity expanded very strongly in November, with its composite index measuring an off-the-chart 40.8 for the month. This was up from 20.7 in October, and you would have to go back two decades to find a higher figure (December 1993's 41.2 reading). In fact, 49.2 percent of respondents to the Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey said that conditions had improved in November, up from 34.2 percent who said that same thing in October. Along those lines, the Philly Fed survey has registered above average index figures since the first quarter, averaging 23.0 from April to November. That suggests that manufacturers in the district are currently very positive about their businesses. (continue reading…)
Manufacturers support H.R. 4795, the Promoting New Manufacturing Act
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is just weeks away from proposing a new ozone standard that the NAM estimates could impose over $2 trillion in compliance costs for manufacturers. With so much at stake, manufacturers need improvements to the air permitting process so that when these new standards take hold we can still get our permits and operate our facilities. We support H.R. 4795, the Promoting New Manufacturing Act, which is on the House floor this morning. (continue reading…)
Markit: Chinese and European Economies Stalled in November
The HSBC Flash China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to neutral (50) in November, down from 50.4 in October. This was the weakest reading since Chinese respondents noted contracting levels of activity from January through May. Indeed, output contracted once again (down from 50.7 to 49.5) for the first time since May, which was not a good sign. Hiring (down from 48.9 to 48.4) was also negative for the 13th straight month. On the positive side, new orders (up from 51.2 to 51.4) edged slightly higher, and exports (down from 51.7 to 50.5) continued to expand, albeit at a much slower pace. (continue reading…)
Manufacturers Call on Congress to End Gridlock on the MTB
Manufacturers continue facing congressional inaction on even the most bipartisan pieces of legislation that could help them create new opportunities for growth and jobs in the United States – the Miscellaneous Tariff Bill (MTB). For decades, the MTB has supported manufacturing jobs in the United States by cutting costs and strengthening manufacturers' competitiveness. Under the MTB, manufacturers are permitted to import certain manufacturing inputs duty free when those products aren't available in the United States. (continue reading…)
Housing Trends Remain Positive in October Despite a Slight Drop in Starts
The Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said that housing data were mixed in October, but the overarching trend line remains positive. New housing starts eased somewhat, down from a revised 1,038,000 annualized units in September to 1,008,000 in October. Yet, housing permits – a proxy of future activity – rose from 1,031,000 to 1,080,000 units. That was the highest level of residential permitting since June 2008, suggesting movement in the right direction. In addition, new starts have also edged higher, up from an average of 955,167 in the first half of 2014 to 1,027,000 in the four months so far in the second half. (continue reading…)
It's Not a Tax on a Cadillac People
The Affordable Care Act has a provision in it that is commonly referred to as the "Cadillac Tax."

Arts Council hires new executive director
Date: November 6, 2009
by: Heidi Kurpiela | A&E Editor
The Sarasota County Arts Council has taken another step in overhauling its image. On Thursday, Nov. 5, the Arts Council appointed Jim Shirley as executive director. He replaces Russ Crumley, who was hired last fall to lead the arts organization.
Shirley, 61, a longtime Sarasota resident and the owner of an executive search firm, served for five years as the director of development at PAL Sailor Circus, where his responsibilities included developing a capital campaign for a new performance arena, in addition to running the circus' fundraising, marketing and public relations efforts.
The announcement comes less than three months after the Arts Council trimmed its board down to four key members — John Alan Fischer, executive director of the Artist Series of Sarasota; Linda DiGabriele, managing director of the Asolo Repertory Theatre; Pedro Reis, founder of Circus Sarasota; and Ringling College of Art and Design President Dr. Larry Thompson, who has served as board president since August.
"We are excited to have an individual with such strong connections in the community join the organization as we head into the new year and begin the process of refocusing our mission on advocacy and community outreach," said Thompson.
Crumley will remain with the organization on a part-time basis for several weeks during the transition.
According to Shirley, Crumley, a St. Petersburg business consultant, was unable to relocate to Sarasota following his appointment a year ago, which hindered his ability to unify Sarasota County arts groups and deepen the council's community ties.
"While it might seem sudden to people who have not been heavily involved in the council, this is something that has evolved over the last three months," Shirley said. "There's been a shift in the focus of the council. We're sharpening our advocacy within the community and one of Russ' handicaps was that he's not been able to affect that shift from St. Petersburg."
At a series of summer workshops organized by Crumley, local arts group leaders expressed concern over the council's lack of advocacy. Shirley, who has never served on the Arts Council board of directors, was asked to call on his local connections to help lead the organization through difficult economic times.
"This move is crucial for our organization's success," said Crumley, who will continue to develop his consulting business after he leaves the Arts Council. "(Jim's) efforts will be instrumental in helping the council achieve both immediate and longer-term goals."

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
Let love be your highest goal. 1 Corinthians 14:1a (NLT)
"Everything you do must be done with love." 1 Corinthians 16:14 (NLT)
God is more interested in why you do what you do than what you do. Godly goals -- the kind God will bless -- must be motivated by love.
People can be motivated by many things when they set goals -- peer pressure; guilt, greed, materialism, revenge, pride, envy, or jealousy. But God will only bless goals that are motivated by love.
The Bible says everything you do must be done with love. So every goal you set should be for God's glory, and every goal you set must be motivated by love. The Bible says, "Everything you do must be done with love." (1 Corinthians 16:14 NLT)
The love that motivates us can be our love for Jesus or our love for other people. That's called the Great Commandment: Love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself. When a goal moves you to love God more or love other people more, then God will get behind that goal.
The Bible says, "No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us." (1 John 4:12 NLT)
Otherwise, if you set goals without love, then people become tools in your life and you stop seeing them as human beings; instead, you see them as projects and that keeps you from learning how to love. God wants us to spend our time on earth learning how to love him and to love others.
Would you like to become all God intended you to be? God is in the business of changing lives and He wants to transform you into the person He created you to be-with more love, more faith, and an eternal purpose. Thousands of people have personally shared how their lives have been transformed by Pastor Rick Warren's powerful teaching so we put together a six CD collection of his most requested sermons. These are sermons you'll want to listen to more than once and to share with your friends and family members.
In this broadcast, Pastor Rick walks through the steps you can take when you're going through difficult times. God is using your dark and stressful times for good. He'll use them to teach you to trust him, to show you how to help others, and to draw you closer to other believers. To give in to your fears is a choice.

Cumbrian javelin ace backed to star at London 2012 Olympics
Last updated at 18:00, Friday, 02 March 2012
Olympic legend Steve Backley is backing Carlisle javelin star Lee Doran to star at the London Games.
Backley, the only British track and field competitor to win medals at three different Olympic Games, has thrown himself behind Doran's bid to qualify for London.
Doran's countdown to the Olympics begins tomorrow when he competes in an event at Loughborough where he hopes to qualify for the European Winter Throws Cup in Montenegro.
The 26-year-old, from Morton, threw a personal best of 78.63m last year to win last summer's Aviva UK World Trials and Championships in Birmingham, and his improvement over the last three years has seen him emerge as an Olympic contender. He needs to throw either 79.50m twice to hit the 'B' standard qualification for London or 82m once to achieve the 'A' standard.
Since bringing the curtain down on his glittering career, Backley, a former world record holder and four-times European champion, closely follows the careers of Britain's javelin throwers and hopes Doran can light up London this autumn.
He said: "Lee is one of the up and coming javelin throwers and, in a unique time in British sporting history, he can be inspired by the prospect of training for a home Olympics.
"Every successful Olympian will have a huge amount of dedication and belief in their own abilities.
"I believe Lee has got what it takes to deliver a great performance in 2012 and wish him all the best in his final preparations."
Doran recently returned from a winter training break in South Africa with Team GB stars, including sprinter Dwaine Chambers and 400m hurdle stars Dai Greene and Rhys Williams.
He hopes it will be the perfect launch-pad for the biggest year of his career, which has the potential to eclipse competing at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, where he was fifth.
UK Athletics placed Doran on their World Class Development Programme for the 12 months to bolster his chances of qualifying for the London Games, as it helps to fund his coaching, travel to competitions, physio and medical bills and warm-weather training.
Only genuine Olympics contenders are selected for the programme, so being picked gave the Cumbrian javelin record holder a massive confidence boost ahead of his attempt to secure the qualifying throw for the Olympics.

Helping Baby Reach Physical Milestones
Reaching and Grasping: 4 to 5 months
At birth, your newborn's fists are clenched. In the first weeks, he will wave his arms spontaneously and automatically close his hand around any object placed in his palm. When these reflexes disappear, at about 3 to 4 months, initial attempts to control his hands will be jerky: He'll use both hands to corral an object. By 6 or 7 months, your baby will be better at reaching and sitting, too, which means he can better examine things that interest him. And though your infant can let things simply drop from his hands, he won't be able to release an object efficiently and accurately until he's about 18 months old, Dr. Gabbard says.
Skill builder: Give your baby a variety of objects to reach for. Offer toys that fit in one hand as well as bigger objects that require a two-handed grip. Vary their shape, too: Picking up a ball, for instance, requires different skills than grasping a cube. And place both still and moving objects within reach, sometimes to your child's side, so he must turn his body to grasp them.
