SPEEA Pushes Boeing To Grant Pension Survivor Benefits To Same-Sex Married Members
When new contracts are negotiated and ratified by engineers and technical workers at The Boeing Company, same-sex married members in the Professional and Technical bargaining units will have the security of knowing pension benefits can be passed on to their spouse, thanks to the diligent work of members, elected officials, equality organizations and negotiators of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), IFPTE Local 2001.
While still locked in contract negotiations for 23,000 engineers and technical workers, The Boeing Company and SPEEA have tentatively agreed on contract language that grants same-sex couples the same pension survivor benefits that have been available to heterosexual married couples. The agreement comes after SPEEA Benefits Director Matt Kempf recognized, and made an issue of, a loophole in contract language that allowed Boeing to deny pension survivor benefits to same-sex couples.
"I started looking at this several years ago when a dying, gay member, came in to ask about passing on his earned pension benefit to his partner of 30 years," Kempf said. "We couldn't help them and it just seemed so very wrong."
When Washington state voters approved marriage equality in November, SPEEA negotiators again brought up the issue of same-sex survivor pension benefits during contract talks with Boeing. Hearing the company was still denying same-sex couples this earned benefit, SPEEA Diversity Committee member Ken Aphibal started a petition on the progressive website Change.org. The petition flooded Boeing CEO Jim McNerney with more than 79,000 emails and drew support from other unions, community groups and members of the Washington state Congressional leaders."I've always advocated for these benefits and this win feels really good," said Aphibal, who is engaged to marry his partner Bennett. "I have years before retiring, but for anyone close, this will change their life. They will be able to look at their loved one and know they will be taken care of. Boeing is now a leader for granting these benefits to gay and lesbian couples. All the hard work on this issue by my union shows how important organized labor is today and another reason why I work for Boeing. "

Sorry... For me, Mizani Moisturefuse runs circles around Keracare Humecto... I remember trying this one after hearing it was different than the Keracare Humecto that comes in a bottle. Both were zeros imo and I got no boost in moisture as one would expect from a conditioner called "humecto". Overall, I find Keracare products a huge disappointment. Back in the day, when there were not that many options for relaxed African-American hair, Keracare was pretty good and I was willing to pay the prices Keracare charges. Now however, there are so many wonderful, quality options within every price range for my type of hair. Whatismore, Keracare has not improved their products ...To me, they are mediocre at best. This makes them overpriced for the performance you get from their products. No thanks...
i have naturally kinky-curly hair. this stuff was wonderful! combing out my hair was made easier and my hair was light and fluffy despite the thickness of this product. i'll certainly repurchase!!
Love it!
I have tried both the original formula and the "richer, thicker" version, and my hair hated both. This was not moisturizing in any way. I am African-American with relaxed hair, so it is "supposed" to work for me, but it doesn't. I suspect it is due to the mineral oil, as any "moisturizing" conditioner I use with that in it has only left my hair dry and crispy. I tried using this with heat and without heat. I ended up having to return it and get my money back...Horrible experience. UPDATE: After talking it over with my stylist and after asking questions of the master chemist and founder of Avlon Industries [Dr. Syed] on his blog, I decided to repurchase the "richer, thicker" formula. I realized that I had been expecting much more out of this product than I should have. This product is NOT meant to be used as a deep conditioner/intensive treatment, but rather as a frequent-use regular conditioner. To that end, it's a pretty good product. I found that if I didn't towel-blot my hair (which is what I do for deep conditioning) then Humecto spread better over my hair and felt nice. I also applied it in dime-sized portions to small sections of my hair at a time. After letting Humecto sit on my hair for 15 minutes (no heat) I rinsed it very very well in the shower like my stylist suggested. Styling wet and dry hair produced much better results. My hair is shiny, moist and bouncy. I also used other Keracare products when I washed and styled my hair, which I think makes a difference with this brand. So all in all, I am pleased now with this product (now that I know how to use it) and technically give this product 3.5 lippies. I will continue to use it up and see how my hair responds to the entire line. I will also be using something more penetrating for my "deep" treatments.

I purchased this product from JC Penney in a $14.99 12 oz duo which included the hydrating shampoo. My cousins have raved about this for years but I just could not bring my self to pay $11-$15 for an 8 oz. Since I also received an additional 20% off (friends and family day) I finally decided to try it. I am so glad I waited. It's an ok conditioner. Neutrogena Triple Moisture is better and for less. The KeraCare styling products were also buy one get one for $1. So I bought a wrap lotion and got one for .85 ( I had another $15% off coupon), both of them for $13.20 which is a little less than the price for one. I will try the products after a freshly done relaxer then revise my review.

This is such an excellent conditioner. I use this weekly as a deep conditioner treatment. I apply to my hair in, put a plastic cap on, and sit underneath my dryer for 20-30 mins. My hair comes out feeling very hydrated and the conditioner smells great.
Very good product for processed hair! It leaves my hair soft and easier to comb. It smells great! Better results if used for 15-20 minutes and with a plastic cap. It is also nice to recover the hair from chemical treatments/processes. I only would like to have the same results when I don't have time to use a plastic cap and wait longer...
My hair is a mixture of 3C and 4A. Texturized, my hair may be 3B and 3C.
I began using this product as a means to supplement my "in-between" trips to the salon. Although it's a bit pricier than what I'm used to, and isn't always convenient to obtain (has to be purchased from a salon or online.) This conditioner has given me the most satisfying result, when compared to many of the grocery,beauty supply store brands.
I love this, it's the best moisturising conditioner I've used and believe me, I've been through loads! I have relaxed hair and I alternate between this and Organics Hair Mayonnaise. Fantastic after a protein treatment, for softening. I put it a plastic cap (or cling film/seran wrap) and a towel over my hair and leave for 20-30mins. Leaves my hair smooth and tangle free, and it doesn't smell bad either.

This conditioner has saved my hair from heat, color, wind, and sun damage... every time I use it I am amazed that my hair could ever be so soft and silky.... LOVELY!

Separate Murphy Entities Allow Tight Focus for Both
by Luke Jones
Posted 9/23/2013 12:00 am
Updated 1 year ago
It's been a pivotal year for El Dorado's Murphy Oil Corp. The company — which in 2012 had revenue of $28.6 billion and income of $970 million — after many months of planning and pressure from investors, finally spun off its retail arm into a separate, publicly traded company.
Here's a rundown of what happened on Aug. 30 when the spinoff, Murphy Oil USA Inc., was created:
- The new company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol MUSA.
- Shareholders in Murphy Oil as of Aug. 21 received one Murphy USA share for every four Murphy Oil shares they owned.
- Murphy Oil CEO Steven Cossé retired and was replaced by Roger Jenkins, whose succession was announced previously.
The company was tossing around the possibility of a spinoff since at least January 2012, when former CEO David Wood said he was discussing it with the company's board.
Before the spinoff, Murphy USA was generating about half of Murphy Oil's revenue.
So how have the two companies fared since?
Pretty well, according to Fadel Gheit, a managing director and senior analyst at Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. in New York.
Gheit said he's recommending stock in both Murphy companies. The spinoff, he said, has so far created the promised shareholder value.
"So investors' long wait was worth it," he said. "It's a unique business model. The fact that they are in Walmart parking lots is a very unique feature and gives them a competitive advantage."
That's high praise from Gheit. Last year he told Arkansas Business that Murphy's exploration sector wasn't showing promise — something Jenkins has recently admitted — and that its refinery business was costing too much.
Now, he's saying the spinoff should strengthen both companies.
"I think both will be more successful because they are more focused," he said. "They will basically do what is best for the individual company."
One strength, he noted, is that Murphy USA won't have to worry about refining. Some other fuel industry spinoffs, such as Marathon Petroleum Co., wrapped the refining segment into the retail business. Murphy Oil held onto its refineries in the spinoff, but it has been attempting to exit that business for at least two years.
Murphy USA, then, won't have to worry about that issue and can instead focus entirely on sales and marketing.
Not all analysts are as positive as Gheit. Zacks Investment Research rates Murphy Oil stock as "hold," lauding the spinoff but warning investors about the volatility of prices on fuel products.
Murphy USA, Gheit said, will be able to grow much faster than it could as part of Murphy Oil, but the retail network was growing anyway.
A spokeswoman for Murphy USA said the company has 1,179 retail stores across the country as of June 30. That's 25 more than in December, when the company announced a plan to add 200 more stations at Wal-Mart stores.
The company broke ground for a new "flagship" store in El Dorado on Sept. 9.
Also, in May, Clyde told shareholders that the company was working on adding 40 new Murphy Express locations, which are stand-alone fueling stations not connected to Wal-Mart stores.
The spokeswoman declined to comment on the progress of both of these expansion plans.
Murphy Oil's stock value has crept up through the summer. It had a low of $45.57 in April and is trading above $62 last week.
Murphy USA stocks closed at $37.51 at the end of the first day of trading after Labor Day. The stock initially fell to a low of $36.12, but has since climbed above $40.

How to Internet Like a Gent
It's the Wild West out there, boys. The Internet these days is a web of malware, spyware, identity theft, intrusive ads, privacy concerns, and a lack of anonymity. Everyone from hackers, advertisers, to the U.S. government wants your data. And, like most people, you probably have your life online. Credit cards, bank accounts, personal information, personal conversations. The list goes on. Most people do very little, if anything, to help protect themselves online. The irony is, just making a few simple changes, being aware, and getting into a few new habits will wildly increase your personal security.

just bought a 07 TR... some questions
Hey all, I just purched a 2007 TR. The car only has 8K miles on it and was traded in 2 weeks ago at the dealer I work at. I got a really good deal on it but my question is this. I noticed the previous owner installed an Invidia Catless Downpipe and full Invidia exhaust. The car has an aftermarket boost gauge on the steering colum, but it is in BAR, not PSI. I am wondering if the car was flashed since it has the DP and exhaust and the Boost gauge. I think it hits about .75 bar of boost, but I think that is only like 11psi of boost. Car spools loud though and has excellent pickup. So idk, any opinions? How can I find out if it has been flashed with stage 1 or something. any way possible?

there is a factory option boost gauge but it reads in MPa... probably you are boosting around .075 mpa (11psi). Is that the gauge you got on the steering column? A picture would let us help you more. The stock looks like
If you take it to a shop, they can pull the rom and tell you what's on your ECU. Also, they can check to make sure other things are what you think they are as well.

Yeah, thats the gauge I have. My gauge goes right between the .05 and .1 Like right in the middle of those 2. So I am guessing it is stock ECU and boost.

Well that's hardly enough information to tell if the ECU is stock or not.

oh, I thought if the ECU was flashed with AP or something(even stage1) it would increase the boost to like 14psi or so.

It would. There are other ways to much around with the car other than an AP though.

Skulduggery knew what the Passage entailed and wanted to break down the barriers between life and death to see his wife and child again.
The girl Ghastly's mother saw dying was Valkyrie's reflection.It seems like we're working towards it/her becoming self aware. And it's supposed to be a very good match for Valkyrie because she's used it so much; how would you tell the difference?
Darquesse is actually Valkyrie's reflection.That's how Darquesse can be killing people and Valkyrie can still be running around and fighting Darquess
Darquesse is actually Valkyrie, and the future Valkyrie is her reflection.Because the reflection being Darquess is the much more obvious choice, and a Subverted Trope is always more unexpected.
Darquesse is actually Valkyrie's reflection possessed by a RemnantIf Darquesse were the reflection, it doesn't seem to make sense that it would simply become evil for no reason. We've already seen the effects a Remnant can have, as of Dark Days...
Skulduggery is Lord VileIt is known that Lord Vile suddenly appeared as one of Mevolant's lieutenants, and then disappeared only a few years later. It is also known that Skulduggery disappeared for five years shortly after he was resurrected. It would also explain Skulduggery's history with the Necromancers.
Darquesse is Valkyrie but a Vampire.Well, Dusk said if he turned Valkyrie into a vampire, she would kill her parents first. It also explains why Valkyrie and Darquess can be in the same vision.
At some point of the story, Skulduggery will become Valkyrie�s enemy.It is strongly implied that Skulduggery has a really really horrid backstory (another one than the one about his family) and he was not necessarily the victim. Also China, Ghastly and Shudder have no doubt he would kill Valkyrie without hesitation, if he had to. And even before that, Valkyrie is obviously getting more and more afraid of him. If he does not turn against her, there is certainly some problems drawing near.
Clarabelle will be Evil in the next book.
Jaron Gallow will be in the next book, maybe working with Remnant Tanith
The Man with The Golden Eyes is Lord Vile
Carol and/or Crystal will Take A Level In Badass before the series ends.
The Unnamed is...
Octopus-people DO exist.
When Valkyrie is an adult she and Skulduggery will become a couple.It just seems really freaking obvious.
Lord Vile is Skulduggery's brother or father
Dr Nye will discover the location of the soul... by cutting open TanithThink about it. The remnant inside Tanith clearly knows where the soul is in the body- otherwise it wouldn't be able to crawl to it and merge with it. The remnant is now permanently merged with Tanith's soul, and it's presumably turned the soul a nice black colour... sort of like a giant black target. Nye will somehow get Tanith (perhaps Ghastly or Valkyrie will give her to him, in a last ditch attempt to save her) and slice her open, ending his quest and either curing Tanith or killing her in the process. Probably the last one. Or alternatively Tanith could tell Nye where the soul is... Either way, I bet they meet at some point and it's about this.
Skulduggery and China Sorrows had a romantic relationship in the past and/or will end up together by the end.It is sort of implied, and they're probably about the same age... I am also a shameless Skul/China shipper.
The whole Caelan-Val thing is a HUGE Take That against Twilight.Okay, definately not a wild guess, but I may as well point it out for those who haven't guessed.
Valkyrie will later run into her half-brother/sister.In the first book, it mentions in passing a past relationship between Val's mother and her Uncle Gordon. Thanks to The Law of Conservation of Detail, this will prove to be absurdly important later on.
Caelan will murder Fletcher.
Kinda in the fridge
The remnant inside Clarabellewas driven insane by Clarabelle in Mortal Coil. Spoilers: A remnant inhabited Clarabelle, and because this is, well, Clarabelle, the weird thoughts in her head drove her insane. In the book, Remnant!Clarabelle didn't look too bothered with keeping Darquesse/Valkyrie alive, just slashing her with a scalpel. Remnant!Clarabelle certainly acted like she was homicidally crazy, unlike other remnants.
Desmond has magic.
Skulduggery knows his true name...
Valkyrie will choose Necromancy.
The Man With The Golden Eyes is Skulduggery's Older Brother
Skulduggery will die by the end of the series.
China and Gordon are Valkyrie's real parents
Skulduggery's wife was pregnant when she died
The Reflection will replace Valkyrie at some point
The Valkyrie in Cassandra's vision is not Valkyrie, but rather Alison, Valkyrie's little sister years later.
The Reflection'sultimate plan...
Mervolent chose Lord Vile's name for him.
Remnant!Tanith and a cure.
Tanith will be cured of the Remnant.
Nye is the Slender Man
Hansard Kray is funding Eliza Scorn's new church.
The reflection will succeed with killing Valkyrie, but it'll be a Bittersweet Ending.
Darquesse is NOT the one who destroys the world.
Valkerie will survive, but is forced to move on while Stephanie is presumed dead
Remnants are demons...
The Man with the Golden Eyes is Mevolent.
Andrew Hussie is actually a Sensitive.
Stopping the Accelerator
Erskine Ravel will perform a Heroic Sacrifice to atone for killing Ghastly and Anton
Desmond Edgley is going to beat the crap out of Skulduggery in Book 9
Saracen Rue's power is x-ray vision.
Darquesse is Valkyrie's Other Self.Originally she was a psychic censor that simply removes stress and untidy thoughts. ...the problem is the psychic surgery gave Darquesse access to physical reality; and her primal nature gives her more access to magic. Originally, Darquesse would just quell Valkyrie's overflowing feelings; but this function now extends to every other living being.
The overall mastermind/villain will be Gordon.
Shutting Down The Accelerator.Apart from speculating on who will pull the Heroic Suicide, the Engineer said that shutting down the Accelerator will close the rift between their world and source of all magic. What if that means The Magic Goes Away?
Tanith will pull a Heel-Face Turn
There is only one Dr.Nye
Rue was poisoned by Ravel
The Ancients where not fully human

Home » Brooklyn Allstars » Interviews » Rev. Thomas Spann » Brooklyn Allstars' Thomas Spann reflects on "signature sound that I didn't realize I had"
By Libra Boyd
A fan approaches Rev. Thomas Spann sporting a wide grin and extending a slightly trembling hand, hailing, "The Legend! The Legend!" Rev. Spann graciously returns the gesture, "My man! Good to see you," making apparent that he appreciates his supporters as much as they appreciate him. Admiration for the quartet veteran is immediately perceivable by the number of fan interruptions that continue throughout our early evening interview just prior to one of the Brooklyn Allstars' concerts.
Since organizing the Brooklyn Allstars in 1948, Spann has worked the gospel circuit with his group's instantaneously recognizable styling, which is directly attributed to his own bass vocals. Along the way, they've racked up a couple of gold records ("they say they were gold; I just say they were good," Rev. Spann interjects) and toured extensively. Now, at 88 years old, Rev. Spann is assisted by a cane and sits onstage with mic in hand during some of the group's mild numbers such as "No Cross, No Crown." But you can rest assured that his voice still booms and when the Spirit moves him on tunes like "Stood on the Banks of Jordan," he springs from his chair to join in with group member Sonny McClary, with whom he now shares lead tasks. Theirs is a sound that stands apart in traditional quartet music.
"I guess that's what I say the longevity or success of the group is attributed to—the signature sound that I didn't realize I had for a lot of years until I got a chance to compare it to a lot of other artists; then I realized it was so different that I decided to change it one time," reflects Spann. He admits that the group almost lost its following when he tried to alter it.
"I was rejected; I had no idea I had that many fans, and I didn't know that that many people cared one way or another, you know, about what we were doing."
They still care. As a matter of fact, their loyal fan base is what keeps them going more than six decades later; and they're picking up a younger generation of quartet heads with their current release, Just Look At Me Now. Among the tracks on the Malaco/4 Winds project is a 4-song throwback medley that includes "I've Got My Ticket," a number first recorded in 1950 that Rev. Spann says bears the group's trademark sound.
"And [our fans] still want us to do that song most places we go right now," he adds.
Hopefully, those places will continue to be many for the man known to his fans as "The Legend."
Thanks to Malaco/4 Winds' Darrell Luster and YouTube, you can watch the Brooklyn Allstars (Rev. Spann with Bobby Butler and Sonny McClary) and Luster rehearse a snippet of "I've Got My Ticket" a cappella.

By Russ QuinnDTN Staff Reporter
SAVANNAH, Ga. (DTN) -- While the world demand for phosphorus fertilizers continues to climb with a growing world population, U.S. farmers may decide to curtail phosphorus applications in the 2015 growing season because of profitability concerns.
If U.S. farmers do decide to apply the nutrient next spring, there is some question if the logistical system can handle that much demand in one application season.
Wayne Welter, market analyst for J.R. Simplot, said in a phosphorus outlook presentation at the 2014 Fertilizer Outlook and Technology Conference held last month in Savannah that a couple different factors will be in play in 2015 for phosphorus. End-user demand and Chinese exports are going to be important areas to watch in the upcoming year.
U.S. farmers have seen grain prices drop to the lowest levels in four years. Growers are watching grain prices and retail fertilizer prices closely and are contemplating fertilizer affordability, he said.
"Will growers cut application rates in response to lower grain prices?" Welter asked. "This is the conversation going on right now with growers."
Welter explained the ratio of DAP NOLA (wholesale price of Diammonium Phosphate at the Port of New Orleans) to the future December corn price gives a feel of how affordable the DAP fertilizer would be. The average ratio since 2009 is 37% higher than the historical average. This suggests affordability issues, he said.
The U.S. phosphate demand should stay flat to down in the short-term, generally where it has been in recent years, Welter said. American farmers used 4.2 million tons in 2010, 4.3 mt in 2011 and 4.4 mt in 2012. The forecast for 2013 is expected to be 4.2 mt; 2014, 4.4 mt; and 2015, 4.2 mt.
With a late harvest in some locations and many farmers deciding to limit phosphorus application this fall because of perceived high retail prices, Welter questioned whether logistical constraints will act as a barrier to prevent all demand from being met if farmers do decide to apply phosphorus in spring. It is not realistic to think all phosphorus applications can be made in one spring season, he said.
"This is going to be a huge issue to watch," he said. "This is a lot of pressure on an already fragile logistic system."
U.S. farmers are not the only producers in the world to consider cutting back on applications of phosphorus.
Brazilian farmers will also generate lower revenue per acre, which will affect nutrient demand there, Welter said.
With little fertilizer production in Brazil, most of its nutrients are imported. In recent years, the tons of fertilizer Brazilian farmers are using were increasing, but this may change in 2015.
In 2011, Brazil imported 3.7 million metric tons (mmt) of phosphorus fertilizers while for 2012 it was 4 mmt, and in 2013 the number jumped to 4.7 mmt. Brazil is forecast to import 5.4 mmt in 2014, but pull back imports to 5.2 mmt in 2015, he said.
Welter said phosphate inventories in the Brazilian countryside are growing as a result of profitability concerns. For the same reason about profit concerns, growers in Mato Grosso may forego planting their second-season crop.
While U.S. and Brazilian farmers may cut back their phosphorus applications in the upcoming growing season, other countries are going to ramp up their usage or production of the nutrient.
China's importance in the world phosphorus outlook is growing. The country looks to its phosphorus exports in the coming years. China is forecast to export 5.9 mmt in 2014 and 6.3 mmt in 2015. This comes after exporting 4.9 mmt in 2011 and 4.5 mmt in both 2012 and 2013. The nation is also expected to export roughly 1.5 mmt of phosphorus fertilizer to the Western Hemisphere in 2014, Welter said.
However, Rongjian Sun, a fertilizer distributor in Beijing, told DTN's China Correspondent Lin Tan recently that China is expected to export 3 mmt of phosphate fertilizers in 2015.
China liberalizing its agricultural sector is the main reason phosphorus exports are expected to increase. Revisions to the 2015 export tax regime will enable China to export year-around, and this has a cumulative impact on their exports, Sun said.
India is another country important in the phosphorus outlook. Indian demand for phosphorus is set to increase in the coming years. The new Indian government has stated it will make the necessary revisions to increase phosphorus application, he said.
India is forecast to consume 7.5 mmt of DAP in 2014, which was up from the 7.2 mmt used in 2013. In 2015, the country is expected to use 8.2 mmt of the nutrient, he said.
In the medium term with world demand increasing for phosphorus nutrients, there is room for capacity expansion in the global phosphorus market, Welter said. With various new projects in the works across the world, he estimated an additional 5 mmt of new product could come online in the next few years.
"The industry can justify capacity expansion because of the increasing world population," Welter said.
The continent expected to see the most disproportionate population growth is Africa. The continent already has 15% of the world population today and this could jump to 25% by 2050.
This growing population creates a huge opportunity in Africa, where many regions use little fertilizer. Using more fertilizer will help ensure food security, he explained.
There is a clear relationship between the population rates and nutrient use, Welter said.
Global agricultural phosphorus demand in the medium term will trend higher with the increasing world population, and developing nations will account for much of this growth, Welter said. The world demand is forecast to grow at a rate of 2.0% in the coming years, from a forecast of 42.0 mmt in 2015 to 44.6 mmt in 2018 and 47.3 mmt in 2021.

Staffordshire Potteries
The Staffordshire Potteries is a generic term for the industrial area encompassing the six towns (Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke, Fenton and Longton)[1] that now make up Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England. The name is now synonymous with Stoke-on-Trent itself. Stoke City FC are referred to as The Potters.
North Staffordshire started to become a centre of ceramic production in the early 17th century,[2] due to the local availability of clay, salt, lead and coal. Hundreds of companies produced decorative or industrial ceramic items.
The boom came after the discovery in 1720 by potter John Astbury of Shelton, that by adding heated and ground flint powder to the local reddish clay could create a more palatable white or cream ware. The flint was sourced from either the South Coast of England or France, and then shipped to the Port of Liverpool or Shardlow on the River Trent.[3] After shipping to the watermills locally to the potteries, or commercial flint grinding mills in either the Churnet Valley or Moddershall Valley by pack horses, it was sorted to remove the flint with reddish-hues, and then heated to 1,200 °C (2,190 °F) to create an easily ground product.[3] A group involving James Brindley later patented a process for reducing the fine siliceous dust by using a water based process, thereby reducing the risk to workers of suffering silicosis. In the early 1900s the process converted to grinding bone, which had a similar effect.[3][4]
With the coming of the railway distribution of pottery products from the 1840s, mainly by the London and North Western Railway and Midland Railway, there was a considerable increase in business. The Chartist 1842 General Strike was ignited by striking collieries in the Potteries and led to the 1842 Pottery Riots.
Potteries active in the 19th century and still active today include Aynsley, Burleigh, Doulton, Dudson, Minton, Moorcroft, Twyford, and Wedgwood.

Ballots going out
General election ballots should begin arriving in mailboxes this week. Completed ballots must be returned or postmarked by Nov. 8 to be counted.
Had enough of campaign ads? Brace yourself.
Costco Wholesale has dumped $8.9 million more into its liquor-privatization initiative, bringing its total contributions to more than $22 million, according to the state Public Disclosure Commission.
That shatters a state record for the most money spent by a single donor on a voter initiative.
Other donors have given less than $250,000 altogether to I-1183, which would put the state out of the liquor business and allow grocery stores to sell spirits.
A similar initiative from Costco was defeated last year, partly because the beer industry outspent it to fight the measure.
I-1183 spokeswoman Kathryn Stenger said the money is needed to combat lies being told by the opposition, which has raised $11.7 million, mostly from wine and liquor distributors.
Altogether, the Yes and No campaign donations make I-1183 the most expensive initiative fight in state history.
"It takes resources to combat that level of deceptiveness," Stenger said.
Opposition spokesman Alex Fryer called the I-1183 campaign's $22.7 million in donations "an astronomically high number."
"They're spending that amount of money to get across that there's suddenly no consequence to selling liquor in the state," he said.
Both sides are flooding the airwaves with ads, and more are sure to come.
These types of campaigns are hard for the public to decide, said Bill Allison, editorial director for the Sunlight Foundation, a nonprofit that works for transparency in government.
"If there were really truth in advertising, Costco would say, 'If we change the law, we'll make this much money,' and the distributors would say, 'If we keep the status quo, we'll keep making this much money,' " Allison said.
With corporate heavyweights battling on the airwaves, the public-policy debate is thwarted, he said.
"While [public-policy questions] are probably referenced in some of the advertising, the main players are looking at their bottom lines," Allison said. "The shame is that, as a result, the public is coming down to trusting the distributors more or trusting Costco more."
The latest spending by Costco and distributors comes after a long string of corporate fights on Washington ballots.
The previous single-donor record holder was the American Beverage Association, which last year gave $16.1 million to support I-1107, a measure voters approved that repealed legislative tax increases on candy, gum, bottled water and soda pop. The money wasn't all spent, and the association got about $755,000 back this year.
Last year, Costco spent $4.8 million on I-1100, an unsuccessful measure that also sought to privatize the state's liquor business.
From a shareholder perspective, Costco's recent spending makes sense, said Nell Minow, a board member at GovernanceMetrics International, a corporate-governance research firm.
"I'm assuming the return on investment is going to be considerable if they're successful," she said.
The two other initiatives on the November ballot also are funded largely by single donors. Kemper Freeman has given more than $1 million of the nearly $1.4 million raised in support of Tim Eyman's tolling initiative, I-1125. And the Service Employees International Union has contributed virtually all of the $1.7 million supporting I-1163, a measure that would require more training for long-term-care workers.
Only 17 individuals have donated money to either side of the liquor-privatization fight — eight people for a total of $742 on the Yes side, and nine people for a total of $23,777 (counting in-kind donations) on the No side.
Secretary of State Sam Reed said the trend toward special interests pushing initiatives is troubling.
Washington's initiative system began a century ago as a reaction to the railroad lobby's influence over the legislative process, he said.
Now special interests finance initiatives if they cannot get what they want in the Legislature, he said.
"That is a reversal that is really unhealthy for the body politic in the state of Washington," Reed said. "[The Legislature] needs to deal with these controversial issues, and should not have special interests going over their heads to the people."
With its new $8.9 million contribution, Costco has raised twice as much money as its opposition, based on Public Disclosure Commission reports as of Wednesday. Donations sometimes are not posted on the site until days after they are made.
No more major contributions are allowed before Nov. 8, the deadline for mailing or dropping off ballots. Campaigns can go in debt and ask donors to help pay it off after the election.
A rule of thumb in initiative politics is that you must outspend your opponent 2-to-1 to win, said Paul Berendt, senior vice president at the Seattle communications firm Strategies 360, which supported last year's failed liquor-privatization initiative from distributors.
"If Costco is serious about winning this, they have done the right thing," he said.
Berendt is not worried about the current campaign.
"If there were some true public interest being crushed, that would disturb me, but these are special interests slugging it out. I find it more interesting to watch than anything," he said.
Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit research group that tracks money and politics, said companies might have information and expertise to share with the public.
But sometimes voters can pay a price for deciding arcane, insider disputes.
"It's a problem when big, private industries spend big money to duke it out, because too often the public is not at the negotiating table," she said. "And if they're not at the table, they're probably on the menu."

Missouri holds on for 3-2 win against Quad City
Independence Events Center Sat, Dec 08, 2012
Story by Narrative Science.
The Quad City Mallards tried their best to erase a two-goal deficit, but the Missouri Mavericks would not be denied the victory and hung on to win, 3-2.
A goal by John-Scott Dickson put Missouri up 3-1 in the third period, but Quad City pulled to within one on Mike Hellyer's tally 19:03 into the third period.
The Mavericks' penalty kill excelled, as Missouri gave up zero goals despite allowing six power plays.
The Mavericks racked up the penalties in the contest, and ended with nine minors and five majors for 43 minutes in penalty time. The total exceeded the 15.0 minutes per game Missouri had been spending in the box. The Mavericks stifled the Mallards' power play, and did not give up a single goal while down a man. Missouri was below its usual level of shot production, taking 18 shots compared to the 24.8 the Mavericks average.
Missouri additionally got points from Podge Turnbull, who also registered one goal and one assist. Missouri also got a goal from Andrew Courtney as well. Other players who recorded assists for Missouri were Brandon Smith, Kenton Miller, and Sebastien Thinel, who each chipped in one.
Quad City forced its penalty killing units to work especially hard during the game, picking up 11 minors and five majors for 47 minutes in penalty time. The Mallards had been averaging 18.0 minutes in penalties per game. Quad City relied on a core group of players for most of its offense, as Darren McMillan, Michael Monfredo and Matt Boyd took 12 of the team's 23 shots. The Mallards' offense was helped by the efforts of their defensemen, who managed to put 11 shots on net during the game.
Quad City also got points from Mickey Lang, who also grabbed one goal and one assist to lead the team in points. More assists for Quad City came via Matt Duffy and Jeremy Boyer, who contributed one a piece.
Mike Clemente made 21 saves for Missouri on 23 shots. The Mavericks registered one goal on eight power play opportunities. Quad City's Jimmy Spratt stopped 15 shots out of the 18 that he faced.

Dana Holding Management Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Before we begin, I would like to review a couple of items. Copies of this morning's earnings release and the slides that we will be using have been posted on Dana's Investor website for your reference. Today's call is being recorded, and the supporting materials are the property of Dana Holding Corporation. They may not be recorded, copied or rebroadcast without our written consent.
Today's call will also include a Q&A session. In order to allow as many questions as possible within our time frame, please keep your questions brief. Finally, today's presentation includes some forward-looking statements about our expectations for Dana's future performance. Actual results could differ materially from those suggested by our comments here. Additional information about the factors that could affect future results are summarized in our Safe Harbor statement. These risk factors are also detailed in our SEC filings, including our annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC.
With that, I'd like to turn the presentation over to Roger Wood.
Roger J. WoodThank you, Craig, and good morning, everyone. We're pleased to report our strong financial results for the second quarter. Sales for the period were just shy of $2 billion, with currency headwinds impacting us again this quarter. Without the impact of currency, sales were up about 7% year-over-year. On flat sales, net income for the period increased 26% year-over-year to $86 million, which is the fifth consecutive quarter of positive net income. This bottom line growth reflects our ongoing focus on controlling cost and running our efficient operating model. Our adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.5% for the quarter, 110 basis points higher than the same period in 2011. All in all, Dana delivered strong income and margin growth in the quarter despite the impact of currency translation and softer commercial vehicle volumes in Brazil.
