Arkansas Manufacturers Appear To Be Experiencing Slight Upswing
Posted 2/21/2011 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
Though few manufacturing companies responded to Arkansas Business' manufacturing survey, most that did reported they either gained employees in the past year or the number of their employees remained constant. Only a few reported losses.
(Click here to see a PDF of the list of the largest manufacturers. Click here for the spreadsheet version.)
For those that did not respond, Arkansas Business relied on the most recent state government estimates available.
Reports of an increase in employees are consistent with manufacturing employment trends, based on information from the state Department of Workforce Services. In December, the DWS reported that, in year-over-year numbers, jobs in manufacturing rose by 4,800 to 81,900. From the previous month, jobs in durable goods manufacturing remained the same, while nondurable goods manufacturing saw a loss of 400 jobs.
The year-over-year gain of manufacturing jobs was seen entirely in durable goods manufacturing, which, according to the DWS, was related to "reported expansions and hiring."
The Federal Reserve Bank at St. Louis in its January "Beige Book" report of economic activity in the Fed's 8th District, which includes Arkansas, also found that manufacturing was in an upswing. According to the report, manufacturing firms in the automobile and automobile parts, plastic products, glass, furniture, sanitary paper products and food industries reported plans to expand existing operations as well as hire new employees. The report also said that household appliance and paper manufacturing industries reported plans to open new facilities within the 8th District and to hire new employees.
On a national scale, manufacturing seems to be making a comeback as well. A government survey found that manufacturing added 49,000 jobs in manufacturing in January the most since August 1998.
Companies Report Gains
Looking to the list, Simmons Foods reported an additional 137 employees for 2011. Kimmie Provost, a spokeswoman for Simmons, said that the company added another shift at one of its facilities, which accounted for the additional employees.
Georgia-Pacific, too, seems to be making a bit of a comeback. Last year, the company reported a loss of about 700 jobs from the year previous, almost 350 of which were related to the shuttering of a Fordyce plywood plant. This year, the company reported a gain of 200 jobs, some of which may be related to the company's November announcement that its Crossett location had been selected to receive a technological upgrade.
Superior Industries International Inc., a Van Nuys, Calif., aluminum wheel manufacturer with locations in Rogers and Fayetteville, reported 1,252 employees, up from an estimated 650 employees from last year. A representative from the company did not return a call seeking comment regarding the increase, but the increase in employees is consistent with the January "Beige Book" report that automobile and automobile parts manufacturing firms had reported expansions and hiring.
Husqvarna Forestry Products, on the other hand, lost about 750 jobs, likely related to the consolidation of its two Arkansas locations. In 2009, Husqvarna announced plans to relocate the production of its De Queen facility to its Nashville (Howard County) facility. The consolidation, which was scheduled for the "second half of 2010," according to a company release, was meant to keep the De Queen facility open as a warehouse.
In December, news organization Write for Arkansas reported that those plans had been scrapped, and that the De Queen facility would be completely shut down, contributing to the loss of company jobs.

Guest Editorial
Defense of the Realm: Asian Influence on European Design Practices
by Simon Bolton, managing director, Bolton Associates (London, England)
Many of you reading this article will be involved with the new product development (NPD) process and will have
a keen interest in the activities and practices of Asian manufacturers.
As Asia establishes itself as one of the key global manufacturing hubs fulfilling both local and international demand, the use and demand for high-quality design from major Asian brands is increasing and competition between them is furious for design supremacy.
As a product designer and design educator, I feel that we face a series of challenges relating to the continual long-term loss of local manufacturing, ever decreasing NPD timescales, and the impact of the growth in the number of Asian brands entering Europe.
Based on the assumption that there will be a continual loss of local manufacturing bases in Europe, this will ultimately have an impact on the demand for product design in the region. The European market is starting to see an increase in the number of quality Asian brands entering the domestic and consumer product markets. With this ever-increasing number of Asian brands, we are also seeing an increase in the number of Asian design centers in Europe, with more and more design policies being developed centrally and then distributed to these regional design centers.
European NPD timescales have rapidly been reducing throughout the last 10 years, but the intensity of the new product development process in Asia is on a different level. We found, through our professional design practice, the willingness of Asian clients in making quick decisions to be crucial to achieving success. Asia's ability to work at speed and their strengths in prototyping and production means that we will find it hard to compete in these areas, and these activities will be increasingly undertaken in a number of world-class centers of excellence in China and India with new technology skills being provided by Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. The product design process, therefore, will continue to become more intensive and operate at a much faster pace. It will be driven by more finely tuned skills linking design to production more seamlessly.
European designers will have to work harder to raise standards due to Asian manufacturers now having a greater understanding of design and fully appreciating world-class design qualities. Asian brands will force European companies to make decisions quicker in order to achieve success. This continual reduction of NPD timescales will also mean that the translation process from idea generation to design refinement will become more critical. Speed of decision-making will be crucial to the success for designers attempting to succeed with or against Asian brands.
Although the initial outlook may appear bleak for European manufacturers, these threats also create potential opportunities. Based on my professional and academic design experience of working within an Asian context, I would like to share ideas where I believe European manufacturers can successfully compete.
One of the key observations to emerge from our relationships in Asia was the demand for designers with strong creative research skills relating to identifying user experiences. This observation is related to an apparent culture of developing a focused range of concepts that, in many cases, were deemed to be driven predominantly by style variations. In some ways, this observation can be attributed to the speed of their NPD processes. As the Asian regions develop more and more new technologies, this creates a prerequisite for designers who are capable of identifying new ways in which people can interact with these new and emerging technologies.
For us to compete, we need to identify areas where we can excel. We believe that there will be a significant change in the roles and activities that designers undertake. Cultural positioning and framing will become crucial factors in achieving economic success. Front-end design activities driven by contextual-based research and reflective design practice (research, positioning/framing, and concept generation) will become increasingly important for maximizing future brand experiences.
I am, therefore, optimistic that European manufacturers can compete, but we need to evolve and learn from our Asian counterparts. It is naive to believe that our well-established European design models have nothing to learn from our Asian colleagues. As technology has moved forward at a rapid pace throughout the last 20 years, it is Asian cultures that have more fully embraced it and integrated it into their modern lifestyles.

The staff and the environment
The location and the accommodations
We have been double billed
Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean. I'm coming back to Atlanta in the fall not sure if I and my family will stay at Loewa maybe try a cheaper hotel nearby,
Parking should be included in a room over $150. I paid $ 34 a night for parking and my room was over $200 a night. Then there was no refrigerator or microwave. The coffee was not complimentary and the tv needs more free channels.
View and location.
Concierge service. Very rude!
Contacted the hotel via two e-mail addresses (one I got from my booking confirmation and the other one gave the booking.com team). No one from hotel has responded yet - neither to my e-mails nor to my request submitted via booking.com. It's not something you would call a good service.
The guest services representative found out it was our anniversary and sent up a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine and strawberries.
Expensive parking
location, spa and 24hr room service
the rooms did not come with microwaves
It was a perfect environment for a tourist like me at the time. Busy with guests makes it feel alife and not a boring lobby like some hotels.
charge on atm withdrawal was high.2
Location of the hotels is great. A lot of great foods and drink spots around.
Service in restaurant was very slow even when they were not busy. After leaving hotel at 8am one morning returned at 1.00pm and room hadn't been cleaned. We were told they had until 5.00pm to clean rooms. After complaining they sent someone to clean the room.
Service + location which was very close to all my meetings although far from downtown
To pay for internt in the room. Limited selection of food
Staff was wonderful, hotel comfortable and very clean.
I can't think of anything I did not like.
location to the Federal Reserve Bank which I came to see.

Elko Community Center to celebrate re-opening Oct. 27
Citizen Staff Reports 10/25/12
Henrico County will dedicate Elko Community Center with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Oct. 27 at 6216 White Oak Rd. in Sandston.
This event, which is open to the public, will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and will feature remarks by county officials, facility tours, children's activities, games, exhibits, classic cars, food and music by Churchyard Grass.
Built in 1924, the community center was a meeting place for the Windsor Club of Elko. During World War II the Elko community gained some historical significance when the United States military converted part of the Elko Tract into a decoy airfield in an effort to secure Byrd Airport.
Overflow parking for the event is available at Elko Middle School. A shuttle will be provided. For more information on this event, call Sheila Cunningham at 795-2334 or go to http://www.henricorecandparks.com

A gift that should stop giving
'Jingle All the Way 2' is expectedly flawed
Was anyone asking for an extra-large helping of Larry the Cable Guy this Christmas? If so, you can thank Santa Claus for Jingle All the Way 2.
If not, you can be like the rest of us and curse Santa for his folly in creating such a film. Santa, we neither wanted nor needed this.
A follow-up to the much-derided 1996 Christmas film Jingle All the Way, Jingle All the Way 2 isn't so much a sequel as it is an odd kind of remake, offering a few original twists on the original's dad-vs-dad holiday showdown, but also copying large chunks of the original without alteration. > Read more.

The voice in the nurseryon August 14, 2013 @ 8:13 am (Updated: 10:09 am - 8/14/13 )
Mark Gilbert told a local TV station that he was washing dishes over the weekend when he heard a voice coming from the his baby monitor.
As he and his wife got closer to the camera, what it was saying got worse. "'He said, wake up Allison, you little (expletive,)'" described Gilbert.
Gilbert knew it was coming from the camera.
I talked to former computer hacker turned security expert Kevin Mitnik about this case.
"There is a known security vulnerability in a particular device that was compromised. The manufacturer says it's now been fixed."
But Mitnik still advises you to think twice before enabling the internet access feature of any baby monitor.
"A lot of the manufacturers that create these devices don't think about security concerns until somebody finds it," said Mitnik.
Even worse are baby monitors that work by actually broadcasting a low-power TV signal. ABC's Good Morning America found out those signals could be picked up just by driving through the neighborhood.
"We were shocked. The images were coming into our news vehicle crystal clear," said the ABC reporter.
You were shocked - imagine the mothers!
In the case of the Gilberts in Houston, their little girl never heard a thing - she was born deaf and uses an ear implant to hear - which was turned off at the time. As is that baby monitor now, by the way.

Skip to comments.DNC and Democrats will Follow ...
Posted on 09/06/2012 11:33:16 PM PDT by AmbassadorForChrist
DNC and Democrats will Follow ... after reading a few segments of commentary and watching a few clips of the DNC and its followers...
I John 2:22: Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
I John 4:3: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
II John 1:7: For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
was there ever a doubt????
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
King James Version (KJV)
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
King James Version (KJV)
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Blasphemous. Disgusting.
Yes, these are the types of things I expect the unsaved will do for the Antichrist.
Twisting Scripture to "create" a "messiah".
And for a politician to boot - of which we know the Antichrist appears to be (given that he subdues kingdoms / nations).
It's astonishing to see things like these happen right in front of your eyes.
But with Israel reborn and their victory in 1967, we know these things are coming, one of these days.
Folks reading this thread need to recognize that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, came in human flesh, crucified until dead, Sacrificed for our sins, raised the Third Day, Ascended to Heaven in plain sight, Coming again to rule and reign forever.
Believe on Him as Savior, confess Him to others and you will be Saved and worthy by His Blood to escape what is coming.
Luke 21:34-36
King James Version (KJV)
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
They already have, see 2008.
I take it that we all now realize there's no single anti-Christ. They are legion. I didn't have to read this to realize the fact.
Here's a discussion on the fact:Since there are billions of antichrists - and no shortage from John's day forward - it would seem there cannot be a single antichrist - not in John's day - not today. An individual antichrist can only be just ANOTHER antichrist.

i. Real Time
On a planet known only as Chronos, two scientific survey teams have vanished. Inexplicably. Without warning. But with just one clue supplied - a single screamed word: "Cybermen!"
The University they worked for has called in the Earth security forces who despatch a third team, a mix of military and scientific might, under the auspices of a University Administrator. If that kind of volatile grouping isn't bad enough, three strangers have been added to the mix - a young human expert in Cybermen and a mysterious traveller in space and time, the Doctor, along with his companion, Dr Evelyn Smythe.
But can they solve the riddle of the vanished survey teams before the Cybermen harness Chronos' unique temporal gifts and rewrite the history of the galaxy?
Production Notes
Real Time was originally broadcast as an animated web drama on the BBC's Doctor Who website between 2 August and 6 September 2000. Despite being animated, the script and audio production were specifically designed so that the story could be followed and understood perfectly as a purely audio production. This double-CD features the audio-only version of Real Time but includes extra scenes not in the original broadcast.

3 Reasons Spotify May Never Be the OS of Music
So, most of you are probably aware of the recent changes that Spotify has made in regards to opening up its platform for developers to build apps upon. In March, the social music service will be opening up an app store to help app developers get paid for their hard work. Last week, I read a really interesting article on the Gaurdian titled Spotify: 'We have to turn ourselves into the OS of music'.
As a heavy user of the free version of Spotify , I really love what they are doing for social music but there are few major problems that I feel will prevent it from becoming the OS of music.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- Dozens remember a local father shot and killed in the drivers seat of a running car this past weekend.
More than 30-people took part in a candle light vigil Tuesday night at the same spot where James Tilson, 27, was killed on Crandall Avenue Sunday morning. Officers say he was shot multiple times while sitting in a car parked outside a vacant home. Carlotta Thompson, Tilson's sister, says she has no idea why her brother would have ever been in this area.
He was a great guy and helped anyone who needed help. He was a great father and a loving son. He was not a gang member," Thompson said.
No one is in custody for Tilson's death.

"You say that father writes a lot of books,
But what he writes…..I don't understand.
He was reading to you all the evening,
But could you really make out what he meant?
What nice stories, mother, you can tell us!
Why can't father write like that, I wonder?
Did he never hear from his own mother
Stories of giants and fairies and princesses?
Had he forgotten them all?"*
This is the importance of mother! The mother becomes the child herself in her love for her offspring.
Starting from the day the child grows within her to the time when she/he becomes an independent adult, the mother's heart beats with and in the child's heart. The fact that mothers carry the child in their womb, itself creates the beautiful bond between mother and child. The child is not a separate person for the mother, but very much a part of her. And hence she protects, cares and guides the child as she would do to herself. Natural motherly instincts guide the mother in matters of child's wellbeing. Nature entrusted the job of bringing up kids primarily to mothers because of their natural intuitive mind and patience.
Patience, observation and understanding the child are the pillars of good parenting. Young kids in their growing age are like saplings, very delicate. Any harsh treatment damages the sapling and retards its proper growth. So is with kids. They have to be guided with love and lots of understanding. It requires understanding the mental level of the children and coming down to that level to explain and understand the child's feeling. Little things matter in parenting little kids. A baby crying at night may annoy the father, but not the mother. She will try to find the cause of the crying and treat that cause. She will first taste the food herself before giving it to her baby.
Mother is the one who can immediately understand the needs of an infant by its expressions. She is again the only one who understands the sign language and the little unclear words that the child says when he starts talking. Motherly intuition is the first one to detect any problem in the child's world. In case of danger she will definitely be the first one to rescue him, even when the father is around. She cares for the child, cooks for the child, plays with her, teaches her and punishes her and loves her with all her heart and soul.
"Say of him what you please, but I know my child's failings….
When I must punish him he becomes all the more a part of my being.
When I cause his tears to come, my heart weeps with him.
I alone have a right to blame and punish, for he only may chastise who loves."*
The temperament of men is designed by nature to take care of matters more outside the boundaries of home. Men have evolved into the hardier, physically stronger of the species because they have to function away from the safety of home, in the world of competitions. This they do for their family, but the nature of their manly work robs them of their feminine feelings which are necessary for healthy mental growth of the delicate baby. The child needs tender love and care till he/she reaches a certain age. This tenderness is bestowed by nature to mothers.
Modern life with both parents working has led many fathers to rekindle their dormant feminine instincts as they help in the caring and upbringing of the child. But still, the natural connection and bonding that develops from the womb cannot be replaced by anyone.
Mothers are indispensable for healthy emotional development of kids because they are more approachable not just for kids but adults alike. Women are better listeners and they try to delve into the deeper meaning and causes of any emotion of their offspring's. Mother's love cannot be replaced. Mother and her love is like a breath of fresh air. She is like a cool island in life's harsh sea. Her's is the most unpolluted, pure love in which the child knows he can breathe freely, happily, safely.
"Baby was so free from every tie in the land of the crescent moon,
It was not for nothing he gave up his freedom.
He knows that there is room for endless joy
In mother's little corner of the heart
And it is sweeter far than liberty
To be caught and pressed in her dear arms."*
*(The quotes are from Rabindranath Tagore's poems, 'Authorship', 'The judge', and 'Baby's Way' respectively, from his collection 'The Crescent Moon).

25 Accidental Inventions That Changed The World
Posted by David Pegg on May 14, 2012
You know that pink packet of fake sugar that's always sitting on the restaurant table? Well, as sweet as it is you may be surprised to know where it came from. In 1879 Constantin Fahlberg, a chemist trying to find alternative uses for coal tar, came home after a long day of work only to notice that his wife's buscuits tasted a lot sweeter. After asking her about it he realized he hadn't washed his hands after work, and voila.
Smart Dust
Although most students would be a bit upset if their homework all of a sudden exploded in their face, Jamie Link, a graduate student at the University of California made the most of the situation and ended up changing the world. After the silicon chip she was working on was accidently destroyed she realized that the individual pieces could still function as sensors. Today they are used to detect everything from deadly tumors to biological agents.
Potato Chips
In 1853 George Crum, a chef in New York, accidentally invented potato chips when an annoying patron kept sending his french fried potatoes back to the kitchen because they were soggy. In an attempt to teach the customer a lesson, Crum sliced them extra thin, fried them to a crisp and drowned them in salt. To his surprise, however, the complaining customer actually like them and thus potato chips were born.
Coca Cola
Although these days its almost common knowledge, this list wouldn't be complete without civil war veteran turned pharmacist John Pemberton and what he originally intended as nothing more than a medication (this is also why the original coke actually did include cocaine on its list of ingredients)
It was 1905 and soda pop had just become the most popular drink on the market. 11 year old Frank Epperson decided he wanted to try saving some money by making his own at home. Using a combination of powder and water he got pretty close but then absentmindedly left the concoction out on the porch all night. Temperatures ended up dropping severely and when he came out in the morning he found his mixture frozen with the stirring stick still in it.
Ice Cream Cones
Although ice cream had been served on dishes for years, it wasn't until the 1904 World's Fair that the ice cream cone was born. An ice cream stall at the fair was doing so well that they were quickly running out of plates while the neighboring persian waffle stall was hardly selling anything. The two stall owners then had the idea of rolling up the waffles, plopping the ice cream on top and voila…the ice cream cone is born.
If you have ever cooked an omelet you can thank Roy Plunkett, a chemist who worked for DuPont in the early 20th century for accidentally stumbling across the non reactive, no stick chemical while experimenting with refrigerants. Dupont quickly patented it and today we know it as teflon.
Vulcanized Rubber
Charles Goodyear had spent ages trying to find a way to make rubber resistant to heat and cold. After a number of failed attempts he finally stumbled across a mixture that worked. Before turning out the lights one evening he accidentally spilled some rubber, sulfur, and lead onto a stove resulting in a mixture that charred and hardened but could still be used.
In the early 1900s shellac was the material of choice when it came to insulation. But due to the fact that it was made form Southeast Asian beetles the material was not the cheapest thing to import. For this reason chemist Leo Hendrik Baekeland thought he might be able to make some money by producing an alternative. What he came up with however, was a moldable material that could be heated to extremely high temperatures without being distorted aka plastic.
The year was 1896 and physicist Henri Becquerel was trying to get fluorescent materials to produce x-rays by being left in the sun. His experiment however, suffered a week of cloudy, overcast skies. After leaving all of his materials in a drawer he returned one week later only to find that the uranium rock he had left there had managed to imprint its image on a nearby photographic plate without any exposure to light.
Strangely enough it was while 18 year old chemist William Perkin was busy researching a cure for malaria that he accidentally ended up changing the fashion world forever. The year was 1856 and one of his experiments ended up going terribly wrong, creating was seemed to be nothing more than a murky mess. As he examined it, however, William noticed an beautiful color radiating from the petri dish. And thus the world's first synthetic dye was born.
Wilson Greatbatch was working on a contraption that would record human heart beats when he accidentally inserted the wrong resistor. It ended up perfectly mimicking the heart's rhythm and thus gave birth to the first implantable pacemaker.
Post-It Notes
In 1968 Spencer Silver, a chemist working for 3M stumbled across a "low-tack" adhesive that he found was just strong enough to hold paper to a surface but weak enough that it wouldn't tear upon removal. After many failed attempts at finding a marketable application, one of Silver's colleagues, Art Fry, realized that it would be perfect as a no-slip bookmark and the post-it note was born.
Every single guy in the world should be grateful to Percy Spencer, a navy radar specialist who was tinkering around with microwave emitters when he felt the chocolate bar in his pocket start melting. The year was 1945 and the world, or rather the kitchen, hasn't been the same since.
During World War II, when navy engineer Richard James was trying to figure out a way to employ springs aboard navy ships to keep sensitive instruments from bouncing around, he accidentally dropped one of them. To his amusement the spring immediately righted itself and landed upright on the floor. Since then kids everywhere have enjoyed playing around with this pointless toy.

March 15-16, 2014
Purim is the Jewish holiday celebrated in Adar to celebrate the triumph of the Jews over their oppressors, as told in the book of Esther. The holiday is named after the word "pur," meaning "lot" or "lottery," which refers to the lot that the Jews' enemy Haman threw to determine the day of their destruction. The strong association of Purim with luck or chance underscores the absurdity of this day; we reflect on how much life and death fall to simple chance and how little control we often have over our own lives. As such, everything is turned "upside down" on Purim.Despite this topsy-turvy nature surrounding the holiday, Purim is still a serious holiday with important themes that draw our attention to social issues. As we celebrate our freedom to be Jewish and the joy that this identity brings us, we also acknowledge that our relationship with God always commands us to seek and pursue justice.This social action guide will give individuals, households, congregations, and religious schools resources for incorporating the themes of women's rights, global human rights, and economic justice into their celebration of Purim.

Thanks to that crackly delivery, a line like ''Oh darling since you've been away from me/I know how the pins feel in the bowling alley,'' from ''Ashes Everywhere,'' isn't nearly as corny as it reads on the page. The songs adhere to the beautiful-loser template established by Leonard Cohen, to which Arthur adds bumpier, near-hip-hop rhythms and desolate-angel sentiments like ''Now Jesus he came down here just to die for all my sins/I need him to come back here and die for me again.''
Luckily, producer T-Bone Burnett (best known these days for his work with the Wallflowers) doesn't bathe Arthur in embalmed roots pop. ''Come to Where I'm From'' is as tastefully ravaged as its lyrics, a scorched landscape of murky atmospherics, unshaven guitars, and -- surprise -- delicately affecting melodies. (A few tracks, like ''Exhausted,'' in which he grows weary just THINKING, rock with engaging raggedness.) The uplifting ''Chemical'' finds Arthur openly admitting to any number of excesses, narcotic and otherwise, and he sets these admissions to a scruffy pop tune with a blossoming chorus -- a pretty neat trick.

Christian division is a threat. There are tensions in many denominations over a variety of issues, and cooperation among denominations has declined. Some tension exists among Pentecostal churches. The activity of some churches in politics is criticized by others. New Zealand Christian Network (formerly Vision Network) is a national body linking denominations and agencies that represent the majority of New Zealands Christians. Pray Gods wisdom for this group in what is a vital ministry for the health of the Church and its testimony to non-believers.
Young people are deeply affected by the strong secular emphasis of the state education system, and relatively few are active Christians. Pray for the ministry of SU in secondary schools; TSCF (IFES) and Tandem Ministries (CCCI) in universities are important. The Churches Education Commission is the national body aiming to share Gods love with all schoolchildren. TSCF has a specific ministry to the increasing numbers of international students. In a nation of sports lovers, there are some fine Christian sportsmen and women and active ministry by groups like Athletes in Action. Despite increasing biblical illiteracy and spiritual apathy, many young people are spiritually open, and a youth church movement is gaining traction. Effective new ways of introducing them to Jesus are required.
For an additional 5 Challenges for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.
The Operation World book, CD-ROM, and DVD-ROM provide far more information and fuel for prayer for the people of New Zealand.

Medieval Meal
A while ago I attended a conference on the Middle Ages. In one seminar we actually prepared several foods that would have been common in medieval times. We used pestle and mortar to grind cinnamon and fruit to make jam. We cut orange rinds and broiled them with honey and ginger to produce a sweet snack. We crushed almonds with water and other ingredients to create almond milk. And, finally, we prepared a whole chicken to serve as a main dish with rice. As we sampled these dishes, we enjoyed a tasty culinary experience.Read More »

Celtics 87, Hawks 80: Paul Pierce, defense lead Celtics comeback
The Celtics were 12 minutes away from returning to Boston down 0-2. Instead they surrendered 14 points in the final quarter, Paul Pierce wrote another chapter in his memoir, perhaps titled "I didn't expect Marquis Daniels to share the court with me during my next vintage fourth-quarter playoff performance, but oh well, Atlanta still can't stop me," and the series returns to Boston split at 1-1.
Rajon Rondo returns Friday at the TD Garden. Josh Smith, who left tonight's game with a sprained knee, might not for the Hawks.
More to come later once I finish making out with my Fleer Paul Pierce rookie card.

Awesome effort…won the rebs, won the game. PP's 14 rebs means we're 15-5 in games when he has at least 7 rebs. MD plays great and heart wins out over adversity. RR will re ragin' on Friday!!! Cs still in 5. Go Cs…

Let me thank the great Shaquile Oneal for giving Paul the best nickname in the history of the NBA…THE MOTHER EFFIN TRUTH. Paul Pierce is a beautiful man. Simply beautiful. I've never been one for man crushes, but….
And imagine the opportunity we have! Their best playmaker is out and ours returns with a vengeance! Sure, KG needs to be more consistent, Pietrus needs to get his game going, and I still will believe that Sean Williams needs to play! Did anyone else see how they were crashing the boards tonight late in the game? Imagine Sean Williams' big body banging down there. If we win this series and face Chicago, we are really gonna need some front court depth. But anyway, I'm excited about (most) of this game.

Federal-Aid Highways:
Improved Guidance Could Enhance States' Use of Life-Cycle Cost Analysis in Pavement Selection
GAO-13-544: Published: Jun 12, 2013. Publicly Released: Jun 12, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-2834
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
Thirteen of the 16 state transportation agencies GAO contacted used Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) to select the pavement type (e.g., asphalt or concrete) for certain road construction and rehabilitation projects. Officials in all 13 states indicated that LCCA helped ensure that the agency selected the pavement that was most cost-effective over the long term, but states' specific LCCA practices varied. In general, these states used LCCA for larger projects, but each state had unique criteria to determine which projects should be subject to an LCCA. Likewise, the broad categories of LCCA inputs--such as agency costs, timing of future road work, and discount rate--are similar, but state transportation agencies handled each of these inputs in different ways. For example, estimates of when future roadwork would occur for a particular pavement type were based on state-specific factors, such as past experience with pavements and climate. Furthermore, state agencies used different criteria to decide if LCCA results clearly indicated a pavement type with the lowest life-cycle cost. In 9 of the 13 states that used LCCA, the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) LCCA guidance was an important influence on state practices, according to state transportation officials, and 7 states used LCCA software developed by FHWA.
FHWA's LCCA guidance largely aligns with the GAO Cost Guide's best practices for two of the four phases of the cost-estimating process and partially aligns with two other phases. FHWA's guidance in the Initiation phase, which includes initial planning steps, aligns with best practices overall. Agency guidance covers about half of the best practices of the Assessment phase, but does not, for example, discuss the use of independent cost estimates for comparison and cross checks, an important quality step to ensure the estimate's credibility. In the Analysis phase, FHWA's guidance does a good job explaining how to address the variability inherent in cost estimation, but could better address how LCCA should be documented for subsequent review. Lastly, in the Presentation phase, FHWA's guidance does not include sufficient information on how to present LCCA results to management for decision-making and on when an LCCA should be updated. By better incorporating best practices in the guidance, FHWA could help states produce credible and accurate cost estimates and make more cost-effective federal-aid highway fund investment decisions.
Why GAO Did This Study
LCCA provides state transportation agencies with a tool to evaluate and select the most cost-effective type of pavement, one of the major cost components of many highway projects. Given the high demand for federal highway funding, the federal government has an acute interest in helping states use LCCA to make cost-effective decisions when investing federal-aid highway funds. Accordingly, it is important that FHWA's guidance on LCCA aligns with best practices. The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act directed GAO to review LCCA best practices. GAO (1) described how state transportation agencies conduct and use LCCA and (2) assessed the extent to which FHWA's LCCA guidance conforms to the GAO Cost Guide's cost-estimating best practices.
GAO reviewed states' LCCA practices and interviewed officials from 16 states (visiting 4), selected to provide information on a wide range of LCCA approaches and a wide geographical distribution. Information gathered from these states is not generalizable to all states. GAO also interviewed FHWA officials. GAO assessed the extent to which FHWA's LCCA guidance, including software and documentation, conforms to best practices.
What GAO Recommends
To better ensure federal-aid highway funds are invested effectively, FHWA should update LCCA guidance to fully incorporate the Cost Guide's best practices. The Department of Transportation agreed to consider this recommendation and provided technical comments that were incorporated as appropriate.
For more information, contact James R. McTigue, Jr., at (202) 512-2834 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: To address GAO's recommendation, the Federal Highway Administration is currently revising its guidance on life-cycle cost analysis. According to a program official, this revision is expected to be completed by the end of calendar year 2014. At that time, we will assess whether these revisions are responsive to our recommendation.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Transportation should direct the FHWA Administrator to issue updated LCCA guidance to fully incorporate the cost-estimating best practices in GAO's Cost Guide, including guidance regarding the following: (1) input data quality and reliability, (2) use of independent cost estimates, (3) documentation of the analysis, (4) how to present the analysis for management approval, and (5) describing when the estimate should be updated.

"Yeah I remember that cartoon. That was one of those old saturday morning ones wasn't it?"
"They say that's where he came from, he stepped out of the cartoon one day, to battle the Toon Gang."
Well it wasn't exactly like that, but it was close...
Soon Yong Park was an aspiring animator for a Seoul studio drawing popular American prime time cartoons in the late 90s when he took a 2 week tour trip to the Eastern USA. Soon Yong had always wanted to see the Stature of Liberty, Centery Bridge, and the Super Museum in Freedom City. Unbeknownst to many his grandmother had been a super heroine fighting the Japanese Occupation alongside the Korean Resistance fighters in China during WWII. Soon Yong knew, and he'd grown up wanting to know everything there was to know about supers.
What he didn't know is that he was one. Not a major one like his grandmother, or the Freedom League. His was a minor talent, one that would prove vital during his visit. It was in Liberty park of all places where it happened. Soon Yong was returning to his hotel when they attacked.
"Yeah! Yer money or yer life see, ya, that's it, see!" Of all people to get mugged by, Soon Yong was getting mugged by the Toon Gang. They took everything he had with him. Everything but a caligrapher's brush handed down from his grandmother. A token he always carried to remind him of the woman who got him into drawing heroes. Hurt during the mugging, he spent the rest of his trip in the states inside the walls of Freedom Medical Center.
He was upset, furious, and upset. His trip to America had resulted in disaster. While in the hospital Soon Yong made friends with a girl visiting her father in the adjacent bed. The man was in a coma, and the girl in a constant state of depression. To cheer her up Soon Yong drew her a picture, based off the clever animated cat on her t-shirt. It was a caped version of the cat, stalking the streets of Freedom and protecting her from harm. Her painted it with his Grandmother's brush, gave it to, and never thought of it again.
Not until years later that is, when he read an interesting article while sitting in his home in Seoul, Korea.
That girl's father recovered in time, and the family went about it's life until she too had a run in with the Toon Gang. In line with her mother at their local bank, the Toon's struck. They took the girl as a hostage and fled.
She cried out for help, and in a little girl's bedroom blocks away, something heard her cry.
Sufferin Succatash was born, stepping out of the frame, the dark feline avenger strove onto the streets of Freedom City with an air of melodrama, seeking his target. The Toon Gang had their first run in with a fellow toon and lost.
The girl safe, Sufferin Succatash returned to his frame, only to come out at night; when she dreams, to stalk the city as the dark feline avenger "Sufferin Succatash".
Powers: super-'detective', natural weapons, hiding and sneaking skills, darkvision, concealment, leaping.

Financial Aid System at College Transitions to Direct Lending
Middlesex County College will be transitioning from the Federal Family Educational Loan Program (FFELP) to Federal Direct Lending (DL) beginning in the fall of 2010.
Direct Loans are low-interest loans used by students and parents to help defray educational costs. The Direct Loan (DL) program is funded by the federal government through the U.S. Department of Education.
Consistent with FFELP, students will be able to use a subsidized and/or unsubsidized student loan to defray educational costs. The Direct Loan program allows students and parents to borrow directly from the federal government rather than borrowing funds from a bank or other financial establishment.
To apply for a federal student loan, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), a Direct Loan Master Promissory Note, and first-time borrowers must complete a loan entrance interview. Students must complete a loan request form indicating the amount requested per academic year or term.
One of the major advantages of participating in the DL program is that all students will borrow from one entity, the federal government—a single point of service for the life of the student's loan(s).
For more information regarding the Federal DL program, visit the Department of Education's Direct Loan site at http://www.direct.ed.gov/student.html .
