So it's 3 am and I am wide awake. It's because my mister is on the road, headed back to Florida. He was home for the weekend and it's time for him to go back to work. When he is on the road this early in the morning, its pretty tough for me to sleep. Usually I watch TV for 2 hours and then fall asleep for a little while until it's time for me to get ready for my own work day. Living this way is really tough! I sure do hope we can get a buyer on our house soon.
I am pretty sure everyone does things others may think are crazy or at least a little weird. I do! I have certain preferences and behaviors that are "uniquely mine". I am very very particular about things being lined up "just so", my spices are alphabetized, towels in my linen closet are folded "just so" and all facing the same direction. I get it from my mom. She's awesome, but super duper particular…..and so am I! I am getting worse the older I get. People around me who don't understand think I'm strange. Others appreciate how organized I am.
While I have my own set of particulars on the inside of the house, my mister has HIS own set of particulars on the outside! He used to do landscaping, so he has a certain way he likes things done. Yesterday we hired a crew to lay pine straw (that's "mulch" down south) and OH BOY was it amusing to watch him pace the floor and run from window to window, watching as they laid it! He was having a fit! Did you know that you are supposed to "massage" the edges? That's the word he used! He was so full of anxiety about this pine straw that finally we just had to leave. He just couldn't watch anymore, so he paid the man and asked him to move his truck so we could get out of the garage.
We went to have lunch and returned to find….
Okay, here's the back…..see what you think
I should have taken a picture of the work in progress and maybe you'd understand his anxiety. Can you see that they rolled the edges? Apparently that's what he was calling "massaging". He scoured every inch of the yard when we came home, it was like a dog sniffing to see who's been in his back yard! He made sure the pine straw was laid evenly and he stamped some of it down so it wasn't so fluffy. (Personally, I like it fluffy!) He carefully tucked it under each and every plant. He was so funny!
I have to say, as amusing as it was to watch and as strange as I thought the whole thing was, I do understand. He must watch me folding my towels, sheets, or putting groceries away in amazement, just as I watched him with that pine straw. I guess this is part of being newly married, too. You get to discover things about each other every single day! Luckily I am learning to see these things as endearing qualities, rather than annoying
Oh, another "unique" thing about me…..I DVR Dr. Phil. I watch it daily. GUILTY AS CHARGED! On one of the recent episodes, Dr. Phil was interviewing a lady who said she was wearing Scram! Dr. Phil said "you're wearing it right now?" and she said "absolutely" …..um, as if she could take it off?? I thought that was so cool! Okay, maybe "cool" isn't exactly the word, but let's just say I could relate….and I was secretly hoping to catch a glimpse of that bracelet!

I've been reading over every ones comments, and I don't agree with all of it; I do agree that maybe I need to change the way I present things or ideas to people. It was easier before it got so hard (duh) ...I think I'm going through a very militant phase and feel desolated from the rest of the world because I'm stuck in the South. I took some advice and deleted people from my facebook. Now, I'm just going to figure out a way to better articulate myself. I'm generally a pretty nice person, aside from my atheist Facebook post, ...but that's MY facebook...ugh...
anyways, just wanted to say thanks to everyone--I appreciate the feedback from like-minded/not identical people.

You are going through a phase that most of us have already gone through. About 9 years ago, at the age of 16, I became an Atheist. I was very perplexed, somewhat in disbelief of the world around me, but with gradual change, I had began to accept the reality of a godless world. In the real world, out of all my friends, I only have one Atheist friend and one Agnostic friend, the rest are all believers. But when I became an Atheist, I didn't know anyone that was an Atheist, my friend was still a Catholic at that time.It was hard but I learned to be strong for myself and take on the challenges of the obstacles I faced by myself. Since you are in the bible belt and mostly around theists, its ok to feel frustrated about the situation. Just remember when the dust has settled in, and you have been an Atheist for a lot longer, you will automatically fall into your comfort zone. And you will not feel so alone in your journey to the truth.
Look to the east, and you will see the sun shine, and wherever the rays of sunlight falls, there is an Atheist out there who shares the same feelings as you, though world apart we all are, we are all connected in our struggles and goals. You are not alone and we are always here to help you out.
As I tell everyone in this world, I will tell you the same: May the truth set you free, my friend
Try not to get angry with them. You end up the loser. There is no point being angry with a god that is not there. I know it is frustrating at times especailly when they are all around you but don't let them wear you down.
best advice ever; thanks Adam!
LOL...I'll take two bags of facebook. :)
Good response Adam.
Ahh, Belle Rose, aka, Sarah, aka, Jessica - good to see you finally came out --
RE: "I'm generally a pretty nice person, aside from my atheist Facebook post" - I think, Elizabeth, that it's the anonymity - it allows you to say what you would really like to say, but probably wouldn't, if you actually had to face the person with whom you have a problem. A little sass is a good thing, but all things in moderation - including, moderation --
I'm related to believers.
I even like some of them.
It's very hard to have a functioning relationship.
When I notice a bit of tension forming in any relationship, I've found that taking the ball into my own court and addressing the issue upfront is usually pretty helpful.
Starting a conversation off with, "Hey, we have a very different set of beliefs, but I really value our relationship. Let's figure out a way to interact without upsetting one another......"
My own coping mechanism for dealing with stupid is to set clear boundaries and be consistent with them. Those boundaries are dependent upon the person and our relationship. Some folks don't get engaged. At all. Ever. If they aren't capable of rational discussion, they aren't capable of holding a conversation, so I won't fall into the drama. I use a technique called 'blanking' for those people, and my boundary for them is physical. If they bring 'it' up, I give them a two second long blank look, then turn on heel and leave their presence.
Gentle but firm, just like training a puppy.
There are others where we just have an agreed upon time-out system. Anyone can change the subject at any time for any reason by just holding up their hand.
It depends on who you interact with and why. I mean, these tactics don't work if you're being harassed by an employer or whatever. But for interactions that you control? Control them.
RE: ""Hey, we have a very different set of beliefs, but I really value our relationship. Let's figure out a way to interact without upsetting one another......"
What a perceptive approach! Yea, you, Misty!

Marvin Everett Mundel, born April 20, 1916, was a major figure
in the fields of industrial engineering and time and motion studies.
He is known particularly for his consulting work, seminars and
teaching, as well as numerous publications based on his expertise
in work management and productivity enhancement. He began his
engineering career in 1936 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering
from New York University (1936), followed by an M.S. and Ph.D.
in Industrial Engineering earned in 1938 and 1939, respectively,
from the State University of Iowa.
In the late 1930s and 1940s, work measurement studies were considered
the state-of-the-art method for improving industrial production.
Mundel continued and built upon the achievements of pioneers Frank
and Lillian Gilbreth during his teaching career at both Bradley
and Purdue Universities. He also conducted seminars at Marquette
University Management Center and the University of Wisconsin's
Extension Center in Milwaukee. In addition to his American teaching
career, Mundel was a visiting professor at both the University
of Birmingham in England and Keio University in Tokyo, Japan.
In 1952, Mundel started a consulting firm which aided corporations
and governments in either work measurement consulting or, later
in his career, industrial engineering consulting. His first clients
were United States government agencies that wanted to gain control
over lost revenue or manpower. His position from 1952 to 1953
at the Rock Island Arsenal in Illinois, as the first Director
of the Army Management Engineering Training Program, transformed
management techniques in the Army.
After his employment at Rock Island, Mundel began a series of
consultant roles with corporations eager to standardize labor
practices and make production more efficient. From 1953 to 1963,
Mundel conducted time and motion studies at various manufacturing
companies and developed techniques to measure work units. His
most important contribution to the field of time and motion study
was the development of memomotion, a stop-action filming technique
used to determine time standards for work tasks.
Following his refinements of time and motion study, Mundel took
his expertise to Japan where he offered his consultant services
to various Japanese manufacturing firms during the 1960s. His
interests evolved from time and motion studies to include work
management and overall management organization consulting. During
the 1960s and 1970s, Mundel also returned to government consulting
in the United States with these new techniques, in offices such
as the Bureau of the Budget and United States Department of Agriculture.
This period marked an important evolution in Mundel's career,
from time and motion study to work measurement and then to industrial
consulting. Mundel was among the first consultants to export American
management techniques to Japan, and, in his later career, to other
Asian countries. He became an integral part of the Asian Productivity
Organization, a group that helped developing Asian countries learn
how to increase productivity. His seminars sought to provide corporations
and governments with efficient management techniques so that Asia
would become a strong economic center. Mundel was sensitive to
cultural differences as well as varied methods of management and
standards of productivity.
Mundel won the Gilbreth Award in 1982. He continued conducting
seminars and writing books and articles well into the 1980s, until
failing health prevented him from traveling. When Mundel died
in 1996, he was well respected in the field of industrial engineering
for his many contributions.
The Marvin E. Mundel Industrial Engineering Collection contains
correspondence, reports, data, notes, publications, books, charts,
certificates, awards, writings, photographs, films and videos
that document the life and career of Marvin Mundel and demonstrate
his work practices and teaching techniques.
The collection is organized chronologically into eleven series:
Biographical Materials, Writings, Industrial Engineering, Work
Methods, Purdue University, Time and Motion Study, Government
Work, Japanese Consulting, Asian Productivity Organization, Dupont
Case Study, and Films and Videos. While the years in each series
may overlap, the separation of series demonstrates the evolution
of Mundel's work and teachings. Photographs can be found
throughout the collection. Information about the film and video
series is located in Appendix A.
Series 1, Biographical Materials, 1953-1996,
consists of documentation about Mundel and his career. The series
contains bibliographies and curriculum vitae, correspondence,
documentation on his memberships in Industrial Engineering groups,
photographs, and certificates.
Series 2, Writings, 1937-1994, brings together
Mundel's papers, speeches, books, and publications. When
possible, the writings are arranged chronologically. The remaining
writings are arranged by topic. This series should not be considered
a definitive bibliography of Mundel's writings.
Series 3, Industrial Engineering, 1954-1995,
combines Mundel's research with correspondence to and from
other Industrial Engineers. It also includes Mundel's contributions
to the Encyclopedia Britannica on "Industrial Engineering,"
"Work Measurement," and "Memomotion."
Series 4, Work Methods, undated, contains documents
such as forms, office procedure manuals, visual aids, and printed
matter about office equipment that offer insight into Mundel's
work methods and innovative methods of making his own office more
Series 5, Purdue University, 1951-1957, documents
his teaching career at the Industrial Engineering Department as
well correspondence from his trip to England where he taught classes
on industrial engineering.
Series 6, Time and Motion Study, 1952-1984,
includes notes, data, printed matter, correspondence, charts,
and photographs from his consultant work for various companies.
This series contains seven subseries: Subseries 1, Consulting
Work, 1954-1966; Subseries 2, Correspondence, 1956-1960; Subseries
3, Course work, undated; Subseries 4, Equipment, undated; Subseries
5, Film, 1952-1984; Subseries 6, Memberships, 1970-1977; and Subseries
7, Research, 1957.
Subseries 1, Consulting work, 1954-1966,
contains correspondence and data from the corporations that hired
Mundel as a consultant. Subseries 2, Correspondence,
1956-1960, the contains letters to and from people
with diverse interests in time and motion study. Many people wrote
to Mundel asking for advice with projects. Visual aids and handouts
make up Subseries 3, Course work. In
order to create memomotion, Mundel needed to refine certain electrical
and motor parts on the cameras and projectors with which he worked.
Subseries 4, Equipment, undated, have
brochures on many different kinds of motors and switches. Subseries
5, Film, 1952-1984, contains most of the documentation
that relates directly to films and video cassettes in this collection.
Mundel was active in many organizations related to industrial
engineering that shared his interests in time and motion study.
Finally, copies and clippings make up the research subseries,
Series 7, Government Work, 1952-1971, documents
Mundel's work for the government, from his work at Rock
Island Arsenal to seminars for NASA. This series contains correspondence,
data, reports, course work, visual aids, and photographs. The
consulting work is arranged in a chronological manner and, in
some instances, alphabetically.
Series 8, Japanese Consulting, 1959-1987, documents
Mundel's consulting work for Japanese corporations. The
files are arranged alphabetically by company and contain research,
data, charts, notes, reports, and correspondence about each manufacturing
firm. His notebooks and trip files give insight into his cultural
understanding of Japanese firms and his teaching practices. Of
special interest are the notebooks that contain photographs and
firsthand experiences of adapting to Japanese culture and understanding
Japanese work practices.
Series 9, Asian Productivity Organization, 1973-1994,
consists of year and country files of Mundel's seminars
throughout the Far East. The course work, notes, visual aids,
reports, and photographs demonstrate Mundel's shift in emphasis
from work measurement to managerial organization. This series
also contains books published by the Asian Productivity Organization
(APO) that give a context to Mundel's work and writings.
Series 10, Dupont Case Study, 1978-1984, contains
correspondence, data, notes, reports, research, and visual aids
concerning one of the many American companies where Mundel consulted.
Dupont was selected because of its prominence in the American
business world.
Series 11, Films and Videos, circa 1939-1973,
is comprised of 16mm films and 1⁄2" VHS videocassette
tapes. The bulk of the series is 16mm films. The films relate
to the documents in Series 6: Time and Motion Studies. There are
six subseries: Rating Films, 1939-1973; Memomotion Films, circa
1948-1959; Multi-Image Loops, circa, 1956-1958; Instructional
Films, circa 1939-1962; Travel Films, circa 1955-1958 and Papers,
Films are labeled either OF, RF, OV, or RV, for Original Film,
Reference Film, Original Video, and Reference Video, respectively.
[Example: For "676.24 OF Roll Edge on Sheet Metal Disc,
circa 1960 (REF. FILM 676.24 and REF. VIDEO 676.70)," 676
is the collection number; 24 is the item number; OF means original
film; "Roll Edge on Sheet Metal Disc" is the title;
1960 is the date followed by any reference copies. In this case
there are both a reference film and a reference video. The Archives
Center will eventually have reference copies for all of the films.
for researchers to view.
Subseries 1, Rating Films, circa 1939-1973,
represents Mundel's work with rating or pace films. This
technique films a worker doing a repetitive work unit and allows
trained motion study analysts to establish time standards. These
films show a wide variety of jobs held by both men and women,
American workers and Japanese workers. There are three groups
of films:
Demonstration Rating Films: These films have the same
format as titles with 10 scenes of workers doing a work unit at
different paces. The films are arranged according to Mundel's
numerical system and retain the original titles. These films should
be projected at 1000 frames per minute.
Poultry Rating Films: These are rating films that Mundel
did for the USDA and the Consumer Protection Programs.
Miscellaneous Films: These are Mundel's rating
films for Tung Sol, ASF, Woods Veterans Hospital, and Montfort.
There is also a rating film taken by an English company.
Subseries 2, Memomotion Films, circa 1948-1959,
includes memomotion examples that were incorporated into instructional
films. Memomotion is a filming technique created by Mundel. Time
and motion analysts film a non-repetitive or extended crew activity
at one frame per second and then project the film at normal speed.
In this manner, the analyst can record a longer work period at
a fraction of the cost and be able to analyze the film much more
quickly. Memomotion is often used in conjunction with work flow
Subseries 3, Multi-Image Loops, circa 1956-1958,
combines seven of Mundel's multi-image loops onto one film
core. The films display twelve images of rating films at the same
time. The worker in each image is working at a different pace
(fastest in the top left-hand corner and the slowest in the bottom
right-hand corner). Time and motion study analysts could watch
the loops for as long as they needed to get an idea of what the
range of paces for a certain job could be. The loops were disassembled
and spliced together for preservation and viewing purposes.
Subseries 4, Instructional Films, circa 1939-1962,
includes Mundel's attempts to educate others about his filming
techniques and overall industrial engineering themes. The films
teach ways to improve productivity through motion studies, how
to make memomotion films, and the College of Technology, Birmingham,
England's method of making microscope slides.
Subseries 5, Travel Films, circa 1955-1958,
includes films that combine Mundel's love for travel and
different cultures with film documentation of Japanese seminars.
Subseries 6, Papers, undated, contains
papers directly related to the films. Of importance are the rating
sheets which associate different percentages of efficiency to
the paces in the film.
Some materials in Japanese.
This collection was donated to the Archives Center at the National
Museum of American History by Marvin Mundel's wife, Takako

Chomsky: Americans frustrated at Obama
Sun Nov 7, 2010 5:56PM
Press TV interviews Professor Noam Chomsky regarding the mid-term elections.
Professor Noam Chomsky at his desk
The following is an exclusive Press TV interview with American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist and political activist Professor Noam Chomsky.
Chomsky shares his insights on the recent mid-term elections and how US citizens are in a state of hopelessness with their country's leadership.
Press TV:
To shed more light on that, I'm luckily joined by Professor Noam Chomsky. He is with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston. It's an honor to have you on the show with us Professor Chomsky. The world will be watching to see how difficult of a task it has become for Democratic President Barack Obama to manage the country with the new Republican majority. Please comment Professor Chomsky.
Well, I think it's quite difficult. Part of the reason is that the electoral campaign which just finished is remarkable in that there was almost no discussion, no comment on the major problems facing the country; either domestic or international.
For example, there was discussion of the fact that the country or majority of the population doesn't approve of Obama's health care reform, which is correct. But if you take a look at the polls, you would discover the reason is that by virtually close to two to one, the population thinks that the changes didn't go far enough.
They should have gone much further. So people feel frustrated. In fact, his base feels extremely frustrated. They feel they were sold out. They are joined by a majority of the population. An overwhelming majority thinks that the cost of health insurance is just too high. The cost, and the health care insurance companies make far too much money, the pharmaceutical corporations make far too much money and so on.
Those are judgments based on objective reality. Health care costs in the United States are approximately twice as high as comparable countries. Health outcomes are among the lowest of industrial societies and people know that. Obama did nothing about it.
His health care reforms may be a slight improvement over what existed before. But they by not means met the aspirations of the population and in particular within his own base which deserted him.
In international affairs, almost nothing was discussed. I mean there after all are major wars going on, which the population is opposed to strongly. That was barely discussed. Obama didn't discuss it in his press conference.
There is a huge build up of military force in the Arabian Sea. In fact, about 1/4 of the world's aircraft carriers are there. They are almost all American and one French.
All the super aircraft carriers are American; almost all the nuclear powered ones. An aircraft carrier means a battle group. It's a tremendous military force that is stationed there. It's being used and it's being threatened for use. It's being used in Central Asia and what is called AFPAK (Afghanistan and Pakistan). It is designed as a threat against Iran, and it's a very visible threat. These are really serious issues.
On this issue, the United States happens to be quite isolated. But it is pursuing the military threat not only in the Arabian Sea, but also on the crucial island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, where Britain following the demand of the United States kicked out the population, so the US could establish a major military base. This has been extensively reinforced by Obama with facilities for nuclear submarines; hence, submarines that are undetectable and carry nuclear tipped missiles.
There was a sharp increase in numbers. The largest bomb in the American arsenal short of atomic weapons, are the deep penetration weapons. All of this is aimed at Iran. Iran is surrounded by US military bases.
On this issue the United States happens to be quite isolated. Though you wouldn't know it from the commentary here or the presidential reelect oral campaign where the issue never arose.
The non-aligned countries, which are most of the countries, have long been opposed to the American policy. It's in violation of the Security Council resolutions calling on a settlement of issues within the framework of the UN charity and non-nuclear proliferation treaty, which barely uses the threat of force.
It's opposed by Turkey, the nearest major regional power, which has just announced sharp increases in trade with Iran. It's opposed by Brazil, the most important country in the South and even the European Union, which has been pretty loyal to the United States.
The EU is now announcing that it's not going to observe US sanctions. The big actor in this story is China, which simply dismisses US sanctions. It says it will observe UN sanctions, because they are basically toothless, but it disregards the much harsher US sanctions.
That has led to certain desperation in the state department. They have recently issued a warning to China, that if they want to be admitted into the international community, a phrase that means the US-run world system, they have to meet their international responsibilities, which are defined as following US orders.
Well, China, I suppose that elicited some chuckles in the Chinese foreign office. But they are not doing it. All of these are very significant issues and not a hint of them in the electoral campaign or any major foreign policy issue. And nothing was said at Obama's press conference.
The American population is not at all supportive of these measures. Since they are not really discussed, they are kind of independent of any formal electoral or democratic process. These and many other things are quite crucial issues. The whole election that just took place illustrates a very sharp and very ominous deterioration of democratic culture in the United States.
As virtually all commentators have noticed, the election was based on the voting in the election. The dominant mood in the country was one based on anger and frustration, disillusionment and contempt for virtually all institutions.
About two-thirds of the population thinks that congress should simply be disbanded and replaced by other people. Corporations are hated, banks are hated, and the government is hated.
Scientists are dismissed as some type of liberal elitists. This is just a general feeling of disillusionment, hopelessness and separation from any conception that a democratic process could lead to constructive change. That is extremely dangerous.

WSJ: A number of critics recently said the Volt is really a hybrid in part because its engine runs under heavy acceleration, sort of like a hybrid's engine does to assist the electric-drive system. Chevrolet shot back that the Volt relies on its electric motors to move and can't be driven by its gasoline engine alone.
EDMUNDS: Despite promises that the Chevy Volt will operate as an electric car at all times, at times it will be partly driven by its internal combustion engine.
MSNBC: I barely noticed when the Chevy Volt stopped acting like an all-electric car. And that's exactly what General Motors is going for. ... When we stopped to fill the Volt's 9-gallon gas tank in Tacoma, the tripmeter read 45.3 miles, with about a third of a gallon of gas expended. If you don't count the cost of the electricity, our fuel efficiency is 128.1 miles per gallon. If you do count the electric cost, I figure we still did the equivalent of 80 mpg or so.
USA Today: The Volt is up to the job. It's fun to drive, practical, good looking and in a league of its own technically. The sleek compact accelerates briskly. Its handling is responsive and sporty. The interior provides plenty of space and comfort for four adults.
Motor Trend: Hang onto that T-Bird just in case, but the Volt shows a lot of promise. ... The Volt is no sports car, but it blows Toyota's plug-in Prius away (9.8 seconds to 60 mph), and runs neck and neck with a 2.4-liter Malibu in acceleration and handling tests.
The Boston Herald: The biggest surprise may be how well the Volt handles -- it is, after all, quite heavy for a small car, since it carries all the bits and pieces of both an electric and a gasoline-powered vehicle. But the T-shaped battery pack is placed very low in the chassis, and the lower the extra weight is, the better. Only on a fast, tight turn -- such as a cloverleaf on an interstate -- do you really feel that extra weight. That battery pack, incidentally, comes with an 8-year, 100,000-mile warranty.
Autoblog: GM has now confirmed, late in the game, that the Volt can, in some situations, use the ICE to power the wheels. ... This is exactly the opposite of what GM has been saying for years -- most recently in June, when GM spokesman Rob Peterson told AutoblogGreen that there was no mechanism in the Volt to drive the wheels even if the engineers wanted to.

One Killed When SUV Collides With Tractor Trailer
Late Thursday morning, the only remnants of the fatal car accident along U.S.-221 was a fuel stain on the road and pieces of the totaled SUV along the shoulder.
"When the Ford Explorer struck the tractor trailer it hit the left diesel fuel tank ... so that's what caused the diesel spill," said North Carolina Highway Patrol Trooper Scott Morrow.
Investigators say 46-year-old Joseph Roach of Cliffside was about one mile from home - between Hines Road and Concord Road - at about 2 a.m. when his red Explorer crossed into the southbound lane.
"Don't know if the subject fell asleep, if it was a medical condition, we have no idea right now," said Morrow.
Investigators say Roach's car veered into oncoming traffic, slamming into a semi truck loaded with metal pipes.
"The tractor trailer came to rest on the southbound shoulder, where the impact was," said Morrow. "The actual Ford Explorer went back across 221 and came to rest on the northbound shoulder."
NCHP said roach died from injuries on the scene. The truck driver - from Bakersville - and a passenger were not injured. Investigators say alcohol does not appear to have been a factor.
"It was a straight grade," said Morrow. "It is in a work construction zone but construction zone was not going on at 2:08 in the morning."
US-221 going both ways was shut down for about five hours while officials worked to clear the wreck and the diesel spill.
Roach's family told officials he had been strugglinh with medical problems, and they were not aware he was out of the house at the time of the accident.

NAM President and CEO on WWJ AM Radio
Today NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons was interviewed by WWJ AM radio about the State of the Union address and his speech today at the Detroit Economic Club. Please click below to listen to the interview.
NAM President and CEO on WWJ AM Radio
Manufacturers appreciated the highlight of the industry from the President last night. And, as long-time advocates for pro-growth tax reform, we were glad to hear the President calling for "comprehensive" reform, that is an effort that includes both corporate and individual tax reform.
While many larger manufacturers operate in corporate firm, about two-thirds of manufacturers—mostly small and medium-size companies—operate as a "flow through" and are taxed as individuals. Unfortunately, the good news on taxes stopped there.
The President made clear that he looks at tax reform as a way to help "bring down the deficit." The NAM, on the other hand, doesn't view tax reform as a revenue raiser, but as an engine for much-needed economic growth and competitiveness.
Speaking of competitiveness, we were dismayed to hear the Administration again bring up the illusory "tax breaks for companies to ship jobs overseas." Manufacturers in the United States know firsthand the challenges of competing in a global marketplace under our outdated world-wide tax system. Making the current system worse—as the President suggested—is going to make manufacturers in America even less competitive. In order to promote competitiveness, we need to move to a territorial tax system, similar to systems in most industrial countries, structured to enhance U.S. competitiveness, not raise additional revenue.
Dorothy Coleman is vice president of tax and domestic economic policy, National Association of Manufacturers.
Following President Obama's State of the Union address Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) delivered the Republican address. Senator Rubio talked about the importance of the free enterprise economy to our nation's prosperity and to the middle class. His remarks also addressed the concern that growing the size of government will increase taxes on many small businesses that will cost jobs and hurt economic growth.
Senator Rubio raised the concerns shared by many manufacturers of the need for reforms to our nation's entitlement programs. The deal to avert the fiscal cliff in January failed to address these costly programs. If we are going to get our fiscal house in order these programs must be addressed.
Our nation's growing energy sector represents a tremendous opportunity for manufacturers. According to Senator Rubio's remarks, "One of the best ways to encourage growth is through our energy industry. Of course solar and wind energy should be a part of our energy portfolio. But God also blessed America with abundant coal, oil and natural gas." Manufacturers use one-third of our nation's energy supply and access to low cost sources of energy is critically important to our nation's competitiveness. The continued development of shale gas can create one million manufacturing jobs by 2025.
Manufacturers throughout the country continue to struggle to find qualified and skilled workers. Senator Rubio addressed the need for a 21st century workforce. We must also tackle comprehensive immigration reform. Manufacturers must have access to the best workers at all skill levels in order to compete.
Finally, Senator Rubio called on Republicans and Democrats to come together to for the health of the nation and our economy. Manufacturers agree that we need bipartisan solutions. In fact, earlier today we released A Growth Agenda: Four Goals of a Manufacturing Resurgence in America which outlines the right policies that will transform our economy and help manufacturers create jobs. Manufacturing makes America strong, and we are committed to reducing the 20 percent cost differential to manufacture in the U.S. We hope to see concrete action from the Administration and Congress, the futures of the 12 million men and women in manufacturing are depending on it.
Tonight Bradley Henning, a 23 year old journeyman machinist at NAM member Atlas Machine and Supply, Inc., was a guest of the First Lady at the State of the Union address. Mr. Henning has been training since high school for his job at Atlas and is a graduate of the company's apprenticeship program. In July of last year he completed all of his necessary training and coursework to receive his journeyman's card.
Mr. Henning represents the thousands of students in apprentice programs and schools throughout the country gaining the necessary skills for long-term careers in today's manufacturing. This isn't your grandfather's manufacturing, the jobs of today and tomorrow require advanced skills and job training.
Manufacturers throughout the country are struggling to find workers with the necessary skills for today's jobs. Today, approximately 600,000 manufacturing jobs are unfilled due to the skills gap.
In order for manufacturers to compete in the growing global marketplace the workforce must have the necessary skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We must continue to work to promote STEM education so students like Bradley can benefit from great careers in manufacturing and greatly enhance our nation's competitiveness.
Fresh off his third State of the Union Address, where he discussed the need for growing manufacturing, President Obama will be touring Intel's Ocotillo Campus in Chandler, Arizona. The Intel facility in Chandler employs nearly 10,000 people and builds high tech processors. The President is expected to continue to discuss manufacturing and job creation.
Intel is a leading innovator in high-tech manufacturing and is currently expanding their operations in Arizona. The company is building the world's most advanced, high volume chip fabrication plant in Arizona. The plant is scheduled to be completed in 2013. This is great news for manufacturing in the United States.
Manufacturers are hopeful President Obama will adopt the policies manufacturers have laid out in A Manufacturing Renaissance: Four Goals for Economic Growth. By instituting pro-growth policies companies like Intel will be able to better compete, expand and create good high-paying jobs.
Throughout the night we will be updating the blog with live updates and reaction from President Obama's State of the Union. So stay tuned for updates.
Update: President Obama has begun his third State of the Union Address by thanking all the troops who have served in Iraq and discussing the war in Afghanistan.
Update: President Obama calls for Congress to work together to create, "An America that attracts a new generation of high-tech manufacturing and high-paying jobs."
Right now we are at a pivitol time for manufacturers in this country. Now is the time to reduce the regulations and burdens that face manufacturers.
Update: President says he wants to lay out a blueprint for an economy that is build to last. Our hope is they will adopt the policies that are laid out in our Manufacturing Renaissance: Four Goals for Economic Growth.
Update: President Obama discussing effort to double exports by 2014. In order to reach this goal we need more trade agreements, export control reforms, and the reauthorization of the Ex-Im Bank.
Update: President Obama mentions one of the First Lady's Guests, Jackie Bray, a process operator at Siemens Charlotte Energy Hub. She participated in a community college retraining program to learn the skills necessary for her new job. Training programs such as this are essential to the competitiveness.
Update: President Obama says he is directing his Administration to open more than 75 percent of our potential offshore oil and gas resources. Calls for an "All of the Above" strategy. Manufacturers believe that strategy should include the Keystone XL pipeline that he rejected just last week. A mistake that will cost us jobs.
He also called for the development of natural gas development. It's essential that the EPA does not overreach and continue to allow for shale development. A PwC/NAM study shows that shale development will create 1 million manufacturing jobs.
Update: President Obama calls for an effort to rebuilt our infrastruture. An improved and efficient infrastructure is important to manufacturers competitiveness.
Update: Increas
At 9:00 p.m. EST tonight President Obama will deliver the State of the Union Address. We expect manufacturing to be one of the main topics of the speech.
Several manufacturers have been invited as guests of the First Lady tonight. These guests include Alicia Boler-Davis, a plant manager at General Motors Orion Assembly and Jackie Bray, a process operator at Siemens Charlotte Energy Hub.
Jackie Bray is an example of how important community college training programs are for workers. In June of 2011 President Obama endorsed the Manufacturing Institute's Skills Certifcation Program which is designed to help retrain workers for careers in manufacturing.
Be sure to stay tuned to Shopfloor tonight and to our twitter feed at @shopfloor for live reaction to the address.
In his State of the Union address Thursday, the President again repeated his familiar talking points dismissing the oil industry.
We need to get behind this innovation. And to help pay for it, I'm asking Congress to eliminate the billions in taxpayer dollars we currently give to oil companies. (Applause.) I don't know if — I don't know if you've noticed, but they're doing just fine on their own. (Laughter.) So instead of subsidizing yesterday's energy, let's invest in tomorrow's.
Yesterday's energy? That's not a serious comment that should be included in any serious address to the American people. Oil and natural gas provide more than 60 percent of the America's energy. It's TODAY's energy, and TOMORROW's energy, and investment in it should be encouraged, not disparaged.
The American Petroleum Institute issued a statement from its president and CEO, Jack Gerard, in response. Excerpt:
Tonight was a missed opportunity. The president focused on job growth through federal spending, but was silent on one of the best ways to create jobs: allow more energy development. Natural gas and renewables are important components of our energy mix, but we will need our nation's vast oil resources for decades to come. The oil and natural gas industry is a key driver of new jobs and economic prosperity Producing more oil and gas at home, which most Americans want, could create hundreds of thousands of jobs, reduce our deficit by billions, and enhance our energy security. Even better, the government wouldn't have to invest a single taxpayer dollar – just give industry a green light to invest its own money.
The U.S. oil and natural gas industry also pays taxes at effective rates far higher than most other industries, and does not receive payments from the government to support oil and gas development. The tax deductions it does receive are similar to those enjoyed by other industries to encourage energy production and new jobs. We need policies that help the 9.2 million hardworking men and women in the industry, not hurt them.
Douglas Holtz-Eakin, the former director of the Congressional Budget Office and an economic advisor to Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign, dissects the President's address in a blog post at The Corner. Very astute.
[We] got mostly a series of broad, sweeping vision statements followed by narrow, more-of-the-same policy prescriptions. Take for example innovation. The president praised the government's widely recognized role in funding basic research. But in the next paragraph, he switched to "research and development" (not the same) and targeted on vague progressive agenda items like clean energy, information technology, and biomedical research. Why those, when the president acknowledged that "none of us can predict … what the next big industry will be"?
Why should 80 percent of electricity come from "clean energy"? How do we get there? Why should 80 percent of Americans have access to high-speed rail? These are proposals, but not a vision of any sort.
And …
To be fair, most of these addresses disappoint. And there were nuggets of promise in the emphasis on education, and the acknowledgment that corporate profits are not a bad thing and that corporate tax reform is desirable. But there was little in specifics and it was countered by the pro forma attacks on oil companies and banks, and the stone-walling of fixing the health-care mistake.
In the end, this speech did little to change the landscape.
From the statement from Jay Timmons, president of the National Association of Manufacturers:
[To] unleash the power of innovation, we cannot continue to place costly, unnecessary burdens on businesses and put them on an uneven playing field with our global competitors. This stifles job creation and economic growth. We also cannot pick winners and losers and pit industry sectors against each other in order to achieve our goals. To enhance our competitiveness, businesses cannot continue to be faced with higher energy costs, higher taxes and government overregulation.
Manufacturers understand all too well the realities of an increasingly competitive global marketplace, and we are pleased to see President Obama begin the discussion on how to address this critical issue. The President's comments on increasing our exports, opening new markets and passing pending free trade agreements are all important elements to achieving job creation, economic growth and competitiveness.
The NAM has developed a "Manufacturing Strategy for Jobs and a Competitive America" that describes solid policies necessary to achieve the competitiveness and growth President Obama seems to seek.

Horse meat for human consumption? The idea is repugnant to every individual I have spoken to in the last few days, not one person could even fathom the prospect. Yet, a meat company in Roswell has applied to the U.S.D.A. for a permit to begin slaughtering horses, ostensibly in hopes of expanding their business.
Attorney General King is strongly against the plan to begin butchering horses. The latest news about horses in New Mexico comes on the heels of other negative accounts about the state's horse racing industry and a horse auction facility where some horses were found to be horribly suffering from injury and malnutrition.
News of the horse slaughtering plan spread rapidly throughout New Mexico and today is a national story. Please follow the link below.

Innovative Game Features
For any game, what's a cool feature that has never been done before? give some ideas and some developers might see this and use a idea.
Example: like Real Racing 3 Time Shufted Multiplayer. using Game Center.
Donkey Kong Arcade
Apparently the first time an arcade game had a tangible story that had a beginning, middle, and end.
...oh just iOS stuff? I have no idea. But you have to pay homage to the classics, maaaan!
Originally had this idea for a game... But it's been a while since i abandoned the dream of being a game designer.
Armored bus, your friend (npc) drives it, youre on the roof with a shotgun and some dynamite. View is behind the back similar to EPOCH, showing the direction the bus is moving to. Roof has 3 "lanes" and you transfer between lanes with swipes similar to Subway Surfers.
Zombies can climb to the sides of the bus and moving to that side of the bus lets you fire a shotgun automatically. One hit kills will work best. Those zombies up front on the streets can be killed by going to the middle. Swiping up throws a dynamite to get rid of barricades blocking the streets. Swiping down will make you duck to avoid getting hit when passing through tunnels or road guides and signs.
There will be tight turns on the road and your partner who drives the car will signal you with lights and you need to be in the direction of the turn or you will be thrown off the bus.
It's essentially a runner concept, with some unique mechanics.
The one hit kills will make the game feel quick and hectic, and the zombies need to be the I Am Legend type to keep up the pace.
Game can be endless or mission based. Im still willing to work with a game production group if they want to make this dream a reality. I also have more ideas im willing to share if need be.

Alignment Neutral Good
Roles "Damn it man, I am not a healer, I'm a brain surgeon!"
Loved ones: 2Q's family unit consists of its thrall,
Niskigan, and a plethora of Bhuka
believers. 2Q also considers its celestial companion, the gynosphinx Ajeezha, to be family. Members of the Bhuka high council,
Stikuchi and
Yukaki'na, have a very close relationship with the unbodied and are often found in 2Qs stronghold.
Rivals: 2Q was able to convince many of the Bhuka that hidden technology in the desert could help them in their struggle with the goblins, however, not all the Bhuka were on board with this. Many of the Bhuka tribal leaders considered the move towards adopting the 'unnatural' way an all out attack on their way of living. With the war ongoing no real schism was created, however, some tribes will reject 2Q even to the point of expelling 'believers' from ceremonial gatherings. The matriarch,

Asamir Tome Paladin/ Tome Spirit Shaman WIP
"Finihsed" app, subject to slight revisions.
Race:Teifling (with large size feindish feat)
Classes: Tome Monk 12//Tome Samurai12
Role: tank, grappler, crowd control
Description: In most situations, Sheerak looks like an average human, acheived by the use of his harmless form ability. This form can be used to look like any humanoid, and he has been human elf, dwarf, and more, but generally he takes the guise of a brown haired 6" man with a small scar on his face, a days worth of stubble, and an old leather duster.
Sheerak true form is a Male Tiefling, who's appearance if more serene than beastial, giving him an almost "elven" countenance, despite his Ram's horns (which curl into one full corkscreww), his tail (which is only about a foot long), his dark skin (the color of volcanic sands with a hint of cobalt), his wings (which are feathery and black, like those of a black swan) and his distinctive teifling face. He stands tall, and keeps his hair cut meticulously short. His height is intimidating, as he stands 8' 6" tall, making him hard to miss in a crowd and making him a beacon in fights. His countenance is calm though, is a triffle aloof or even distainful. Were it not for the deep anti-tiefling feelings held by so many, Sheerak would be held as handsome; some may still think so.
Personality: Sheerak is a bit reserved in his social interaction, prone to bouts of introspection. He is quick to command, but hesitant to lead. He won't admit it to himself, but he is hopoing to find someone to open up to. He is pained by the loss of his lord father (see below) and will pursue any lead in that investigation with miopic devotion.
Background:Sheerak grew up in the House of Lord Su, a human who oversaw a large agricultural province. Lord Su was a human, and never explained to Sheerak who his mother was, how he came to be there, or where his name came from. Lord Su seemed amused or irritated by these requests, depending on his mood, either dismissing the questions entirely or giving deep answers that shared nothing ("You are called Sheerak because that is your name." etc.) Despite this, Lord Su raised Sheerak as his son, training him in the ancestrial arts of the Su family, as well as educating him in the art of running a province. Sheerak excelled and reveled in fighting, though his father was successful to chanel this in self dicipline and a soul that could revel in battle wihtout ever seeking it. Once when returning from aiding a small village in the souther part of the province, Sheerak saw smoke coming from his home. He raced his horse to exhaustion, and arrived to the smoldering mannor house Bodies were strewn everywhere, and the only survivor he found was a maid who was in histerics, who said that Lord Su had been killed and that "they" would surely come back to kill her too. She died without giving up any more information. Sheerak personally lifted evey rock, wall, and beam in the rubble, but did not find his Father's body. When he found his faather's ancectrial sword, he assumed the worst. His rage boiled and he screamed for over an hour without pause. This show of rage somehow drew deep into his feindish heritage, drawing forth traits previously hidden. Sheerak had always been taller than those in his province, but he grew 3 feet in that hour, and wings sprouted from his back. While he learned to take advantage of these, it reminded him of the tenuous grasp we all keep on our souls, and he rededicated himself to balance and poise.
He has searched for word of the killers, but has found nothing. The tracks come from one clearing and then return to that clearing. After determining to his satisfaction that no group from his world could be responsible responsible, he has traveled to the city of doors, to pick up the trail. He has little to his name beyond the equipment he had tekken on that fatefull journey, and is prepared to take whatever work he must to support himself and to gain strength in order to see his Father avenged.
Loved ones and allegences:
Sheerak has never known family besides his father. Everyone else he was friendly with in the household is dead, and he has left behind the childhood friends of his realm, who are worried about farming, not interplaniar vengance. He loves his father, and is frustrated that he can not speak to his father when communing with the Su Ancestors (they will not say why he is missing either, or answer any of the heritage questions Lord Su evaded).
Sheerak's undying hatred is for the unamed ones who killed his father, and he has sworn vegence against them by the 6 winds of the Kale Mountains, by the earth and the sky, and by his blade. He does nto know why they came, whether they were after him or his father, or even whether his father is alive or not.

The near-fatal robbery Parmalee experienced after a show would have destroyed most bands. But brothers Matt and Scott Thomas, cousin Barry Knox and longtime friend Josh McSwain didn't call it quits. Instead it reinforced their intense motivation and dedication to one another and to their determination to succeed. Each obstacle that delayed Parmalee's arrival to Nashville was an extra mile that allowed the groundbreaking sounds of artists like Jason Aldean and Eric Church to pave the way for the worlds of country radio and Parmalee's brand of country music to meet at the perfect crossroad. Now signed with Stoneycreek Records, with their first single "Musta Had A Good Time" is getting played on country radio nationwide and their country rock sound is resonating with fans. Having a good time is what they do and when you see them perform live they'll bet you will be having a good time also!

The Supreme Court has denied HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) the right of appeal in a tax case involving a series of transactions that were carried out for no commercial purpose but which led to a tax saving by the taxpayer.
The decision represents a blow for HMRC, who are seeking to establish that a general anti-abuse rule (GAAR) should apply, which would allow them to ignore transactions with no commercial purpose where this would increase the tax payable.
The Court of Appeal had ruled that the essential reason for rejecting HMRC's claim was that whilst the transactions had no commercial impact, 'they were genuine legal events with real legal effects'. Accordingly, said Mummery LJ, "The court cannot, as a matter of construction, deprive those events of their fiscal effects under ICTA (the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988) because they were self-cancelling events that were commercially unreal and were inserted for a tax avoidance purpose in the pre-ordained programme…"
There was no disagreement that the impact on the taxpaying public was regrettable, and the decision will no doubt increase the pressure for a GAAR to be introduced for the UK tax system. A committee chaired by Graham Aaronson QC has produced a feasibility study on how this could best be achieved. He recommends the introduction of a narrowly focused, rather than a broad spectrum, GAAR as the best way of targeting tax avoidance without affecting responsible tax planning. In his view, a narrowly focused GAAR would:
- deter abusive tax avoidance schemes;
- contribute to providing a more level playing field for business;
- reduce legal uncertainty around tax avoidance schemes;
- help build trust between taxpayers and HMRC; and
- offer opportunities to simplify the tax system.
The Government will consider the report in detail and respond fully in the 2012 Budget, setting out plans for further consultation if necessary. No mention of a GAAR was made in the Chancellor's Autumn Statement, however.

Nick Morris '14, a forward on the Arcadia University men's soccer team, scored two goals over the weekend, leading the Knights to the Drew University Fall Festival Championship. With his team trailing 1-0 in the championship game, Morris found the back of the net to tie the game and give Arcadia the championship by virtue of goal differential. As a result of his efforts, Morris has been named the MAC (Commonwealth) Conference Player of the Week and Arcadia University Knight of the Week.
Easton Field Ribbon-Cutting, Sept. 5
Morris and company return to action on Wednesday, Sept. 5, at 7 p.m. when they face Swarthmore College under the lights on Easton Field. This game be the team's first game on the new field. To mark the occasion, a ribbon-cutting will take place at 6:45 p.m.

Curries are a great make-ahead meal; they often taste better the second day, when flavors have had a chance to develop and meld. Like stir-fry dishes, curries require some advance preparation, but they come together quickly at the end.
Serve this dish with jasmine rice, naan bread or pappadums, and an assortment of condiments such as plain yogurt, diced tomatoes, mango chutney, raisins and shredded coconut to mellow its heat. The coconut milk is optional but delicious.
|5 tablespoons
|canola oil (divided)
|1 cup
|diced Earthbound Farm Organic Yellow Onion (1/4-inch dice)
|5 cloves
|Earthbound Farm Organic Garlic (large cloves, roughly chopped)
|jalapeño pepper (finely minced, seeds and ribs optional)
|3 tablespoons
|grated, peeled fresh ginger
|1 medium
|eggplant (peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice, about 2 cups)
|1 teaspoon
|1 teaspoon
|ground cumin
|1 teaspoon
|garam masala
|2 teaspoons
|curry powder
|1/2 teaspoon
|hot Hungarian paprika (or to taste)
|1/4 teaspoon
|ground cloves
|curry leaves
|bay leaves
|2 tablespoons
|tomato paste
|1 1/2 cups
|diced fresh tomatoes (1/2-inch dice)
|1 cup
|coconut milk (optional)
|2 cups
|diced zucchini (1/2-inch dice)
|1 1/2 pounds
|boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into thin strips)
Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat; when hot, add the onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions soften and turn golden, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic, jalapeño and ginger, and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant and cook, stirring frequently, until the eggplant is browned and crisp-tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
Add the salt, spices and curry leaves to the onion-ginger mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Add the bay leaves, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, coconut milk and enough water to almost cover the ingredients in the pan. If you're not using coconut milk, substitute an equivalent amount of water, plus more as required. Raise the heat to medium and bring the mixture to the start of a simmer. Cook slowly, adjusting the heat to maintain a low simmer, until the mixture thickens slightly and the tomatoes begin to soften, about 10 minutes.
Add the zucchini to the curry and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken and simmer until it's cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the eggplant and cook until it's heated, 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove and discard the bay leaves, and serve the curry hot. It can be cooled to room temperature and then refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to serve.

Old men's tales
Dodgeblogium notes Ted Heaths latest thoughts - for many years I have worked on the policy that whatever Ted Heath backs, go for the opposite. You don't even have to think, or read any further, it always works. It is unlikely we will see him hanging by his heels from a lamp post in the Cathedral Close in Salisbury in the near future so we might as well make use of him whilst we have to put up with him. He is whatever the opposite of a Bellweather is and so now without having to read any further I now know Michael Howard is the right man for the job.
Talking of old men - Peter Ustinov has died, whilst always a jolly man, probably a wonderful man to listen to talking I remember he was always a bit quick to cozy up to the USSR leaders in the late 80s when they were recruiting "useful idiots". More later on that I expect. De mortuis nil nisi
