Labour Minister Susan Sullivan attended the spring session of the Nunatsiavut Government in Hopedale, Labrador, this week where she presented the Nunatsiavut Assembly an overview of the provincial government's labour market programs and services available to residents of Inuit communities on the north coast.
"This was an excellent opportunity to engage government-to-government in open dialogue about the labour market challenges that exist on the North Coast of Labrador," Sullivan said.
"The Department of Human Resources, Labour and Employment offers an extensive suite of employment and labour market services to all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.
As a result of Tuesday's meeting, provincial government officials will immediately begin to work more closely with officials from the Nunatsiavut Government as we move forward together to ensure that residents of Inuit communities in this area of the province are fully aware of these programs and can take maximum advantage of the supports that are available."
The Speaker of the Nunatsiavut Assembly, Daniel Pottle, said he was pleased to welcome Minister Sullivan to the Assembly session.
"This was the first time that a provincial minister has made a presentation to the Nunatsiavut Assembly, and we were especially pleased with Minister Sullivan's commitment to ensure Labrador Inuit are able to have an equal opportunity to take advantage of labour market support programs," Pottle said.
Sullivan stated that as a result of this meeting, there are a number of immediate action items that would be implemented on the North Coast of Labrador. This includes a pilot project to establish a dedicated resource from the Department of Human Resources Labour and Employment to service North Coast communities, as well as a commitment to implement further training for department staff currently working in Labrador.

IGBC comes up with various programmes to achieve the goal
The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), which is emphasising the need for green building concept, plans to cover 5 billion square feet of constructed areas within 2017.
C.N. Raghavendran, Chairman, IGBC, Chennai chapter, told The Hindu , on the sidelines of 'Go Green Puducherry', a one-day seminar conducted by the Confederation of Indian Industry here, that the council, which was started in 2001 with the aim of advocating the stakeholders of construction industry to follow green technologies to minimise the usage of energy and ensure pollution-free life, had made remarkable contribution in the field.
The coverage of green building technology hovered around 20,000 square feet in 2003. It had gone up to 1.82 billion square feet in 2013. It had been decided to bring about 5 billion square feet in 2017 under the green cover concept. The IGBC had come up with a number of programmes to achieve the target, he said.
S. Raghupathy, Executive Director, Confederation of Indian Industry, Green Business Centre, Hyderabad, said that increasing the number of chapters of IGBC was among the agenda. In the next three years, it should be increased to 50 chapters from existing 14 in all capitals of States, Union Territories and big cities. Three more chapters would be inaugurated in the country including Chandigarh shortly.
While pointing out the role played by Tamil Nadu government on green technology by making rain harvesting provision compulsory in buildings, Mr. Raghavendran said the awareness on green building initiatives had been clearly felt in Maharashtra, New Delhi and Tamil Nadu. About 27 per cent of the green certified buildings were located in Maharashtra.
Mr. Raghupathy said so far about 2,400 projects including hospitals, airports, corporate houses, residential buildings had been identified as green technology buildings. As many as 550 projects had been given final certification of IGBC for applying the guidelines of green housing concept.
Similarly, 300 pre-certification had also been given to various projects that had designed their new projects in accordance with saving energy, water and other resources.
Earlier, inaugurating the seminar, Chief Minister N. Rangasamy said the Puducherry government had already taken a decision not to promote polluting industries. The land, air and environment would not be allowed to pollute. However, his government would promote green industries.
K. Amarnath, Chairman, CII, Puducherry council, M. Dwaraknath, Director, Department of Science & Technology, I. Syed Sajjadh Ali, Vice Chairman, CII, Puducherry council and others spoke.

Review | Author Bio | Read an Excerpt
As you may have noticed, Jesus isnt here anymore. At least not visibly.
If he were, everybody from Jay Leno to Oprah Winfrey to Larry King would be clamoring to have him on their show. Hed be the hottest interview of the season. Cant you just imagine the questions, as the host leans forward in the chair:
So tell us, Jesus, hows your life going these days?
Whats going to be the theme of your next tour? What cities have you booked already?
What did you think of that last movie about your, uh, rough treatment by the Sanhedrin and Pontius Pilate?
Studio audiences as well as viewers across the nation would be fascinated. Ratings would soar.
But it wont be happening. Jesus took off (literally) around AD 30 or so. He didnt leave us a cell phone number or an email address. He just disappearedit was the strangest thing.
Do you know anyone else who started a major enterprisesay, a technology firm or an upscale restaurant chainand then walked away from it at age thirty-three, when momentum was just starting to roll? Wouldnt you stick around longer to make sure your brainchild stayed on track, met growth projections, and established itself in the cultural marketplace? Maybe after a few decades, when you reached your sixties, you could hand it off to carefully chosen, well-trained successors . . . provided the various important shareholders in the company agreed, that is. Then you could retire in comfort.
Jesus cared passionately about his mission on earth. He had come to preach good news to the poor . . . to proclaim freedom . . . to release the oppressed (Luke 4:18) and to embody this work permanently in the form of my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it (Matt. 16:18). Talk about an ambitious undertaking. This was not to be a cottage sideline. This was a global revolution.
And then he split, leaving Peter and John and Paul, and now you and me, in charge. Whatever gets said or done to advance the effort is up to us. Granted, he still advises us in quiet ways, primarily through his Book. But as far as the public is concerned, were the spokespeople. Were the face of the organization.
Was this a smart thing for Jesus to do? (Not that we would dare to question his divine strategy, but still . . .) Wouldnt ordinary mortals mess things up?
An oft-told fable tries to capture what it must have been like a few hours after the ascension, when the Son of God arrived back in heaven from his earthly excursion. Imagine him briefing the angels: It was a very long time growing up as a human child and teenager. Then I finally got to start what Id been sent by the Father to do. I spoke to crowds of people about the coming kingdom of God. I told them God loved them and would forgive them for their offenses against him. I healed the sick. I even raised a few from the dead. I battled with the religious authorities who thought they already knew everything. Some of them got pretty upsetwhich is what led to my arrest and death. It wasnt pleasant.
But of course, I wasnt about to stay in that tomb for very long. Soon I came back to the scene, which shocked a lot of people. In the last few weeks Ive made it clear that my followersyou know, the disciplesare to carry on my work. Theyve been commissioned to take the Good News far and wide, not just inside their Jewish culture, but everywhere. In time, the whole world can hear and know the way to enter Gods family.
The longer he talks, the more wide-eyed the angels become. Soon, a few of them look puzzled. Finally, an archangel asks, Uh, Jesus, but what if these followersdisciples, I believe you called themdont follow through? Did I understand you correctly that youve put the whole project in their hands? Everything the Father wants to happen . . . its all up to them? What if they fail to do your bidding?
The Sons face grows somber. He is quiet for a moment. Then he softly replies, I have no other plan.
With that comment, the briefing is over for the day. Everyone leaves the room deep in thought.
So how are we doing? As the apostle Paul wrote to a group of Christians in Corinth, God has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christs ambassadors (2 Cor. 5:1920). We are field reps for the King of kings. However we represent him in this world is as good as its going to get.
The cause of Christ is at the mercy of human handling. He deserves, of course, the best advocacy he can get, so that his message of wholeness and eternal life will be heard by those who need it most.
Does Jesus ever look down from heaven these days at the actions of us Christians and say, What do you think youre doing?! You just made my job 20 percent tougher. Because of this, Im going to have to employ a different strategy for pushing back the darkness. Everything is going to take longer and will be clumsier. Yes, we can still make progressbut next time, how about thinking about your actions before you proceed?
Sometimes Jesuss friends are terrific. Other times, theyre his own worst enemies. Frederick Buechner writes with astonishment about God being willing to choose for his holy work in the world . . . lamebrains and misfits and nitpickers and holier-than-thous and stuffed shirts and odd ducks and egomaniacs and milquetoasts and closet sensualists.1
How God must cringe sometimes at the ways we who bear his name botch his message, get sidetracked in arguments that dont really matter, and fog our presentations to people who would love to know God but cant make heads or tails of what were saying.
In my earlier years, when asked on an airplane or at a social function what kind of work I did, I would reply, Im a journalist. I was, after all, proud of having earned a masters degree at a well-known journalism school in the Northeast, and I believed wholeheartedly in the value of a free and vigorous press in our democracy. Without the benefit of information and opinion, even uncomfortable opinion, how would voters ever know how to govern the republic?
Well, I still believe all that. But Ive stopped calling myself a journalist. Ive found out the hard way that the title irritates people. If I say instead that Im an author or a writer, it goes down a lot more palatably in America today. Polls by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, among others, show a precipitous drop in public regard for the news media. Back in 1985, the percentage of Americans who said news organizations generally got the facts straight was 55 percent. Today that number has dropped a full twenty points.
A Gallup Poll in late 2004 measured honesty and ethical integrity among twenty professions. Television reporters came in fourteenth, and newspaper reporters fifteenthfar below nurses (in first place), pharmacists and military officers (tied for second), doctors (fourth), police officers (fifth), and clergy (sixth).
Every time a high-profile, Pulitzer Prizewinning reporter gets busted for fabricating his or her story, I cringe. Every time a network news anchor spins a feature to match his or her personal politics, I am embarrassed. As much as I want to defend my chosen profession, I have to admit that it has a disturbing share of incompetence and distortion.
Perhaps you too have found yourself part of a groupprofessional, ethnic, national, or otherwisethat smudges its reputation, and you feel bad about that. All Americans can remember the sickening feeling in their stomachs when the photos of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad first appeared. This betrayed everything we believed to be good and decent about ourselves. Syndicated columnist Mona Charen called the pictures a dagger in the heart of our hopes for Iraq and the wider Middle East. . . . The Americans who did this are idiotsand one just doesnt know what to say about those who thought it would be a good idea to snap photos.2 She worried, as we all did, about human natures way of looking at the deeds of a few people and generalizing to their entire group.
So it is with the group called Christian. We do not live as individuals. We are a collective body whether we like it or not, and what we do reflects on the entire group, including its leader, Jesus Christ. After all, his name gave birth to ours. We are inseparable in the public mind.
On the other hand, there is a bright side to this discussion. Certain actions by the Christian community deserve genuine applause. Some moves are downright intelligent. Were doing at least some things right.
In this book, I want to look at both sides. I dont plan only to criticize and critique. While I will honestly examine the ways we hurt Gods cause without realizing it, I also want to showcase the good things being done by todays ambassadorsthe smart moves, the wise endeavors. I hope that, as a result, we can all become more of the solution and less of the problem.
In preparation for my writing, I conducted an informal survey that asked people to name three specific ways Christians were currently representing Christ well. In other words, I wrote, what makes you proud to be a Christian?
The answers were encouraging. Several respondents mentioned ongoing programs of help for the needy, the sick, the disadvantaged. Others spoke about bravery and endurance in the face of persecution, especially among Christians in the developing world. Some said there is less denominational partisanship these days than in the past. Some pointed to efforts to reduce racism in American life. Several talked about the trend among many churches to make the gospel more understandable in todays language, less obscure and religious.
So we should not give ourselves an F for our efforts on behalf of the cause of Christ. Maybe a C-minus?
If this book can help us raise our grade into even the B range, well be making headway. And Jesus will be pleased. That, after all, is the main point, isnt it?
At the end of the day, being a Christian is not really about my tradition or my subculture. Its not about preserving my comfort. Its not about fitting nicely with my generation. Its not about safeguarding my denomination.
As Max Lucado says with simple eloquence in his book title, Its Not About Me at all.
Being a Christian is about Christ. If he is noticed and honored, if his message is listened to, if his influence is expanded, we will have done what good and faithful servants were meant to do.

Summary of Battlestar Galactica Seasons 1-2 DVD Boxset
Battlestar Galactica dvd 1-2 is mainly about the second war against the Cylons is over and The Twelve Colonies have been destroyed. Now Commander Adama of the Battlestar Galatica and President Laura Roslin lead a ragtag fleet of refugees in a supposed search for the fabled lost thirteenth colony, Earth. However, the dangers they face are many which compound an already difficult situation. In addition to the Cylons hunting and attacking the fleet in space, their infiltrator units carry out a more subtle plot even as their former unwitting pawn, Gaius Baltar, helps in the hunt for them while hiding both his own guilt and the strange presence that haunts his every thought. If that wasn't enough, the fleet also faces internal political conflict in which the rabble-rousing figure, Tom Zarek, is merely the loudest dissenting voice. In the midst of these trials however, clues begin to appear that suggest that Adama's simple bluff about Earth may be more truthful than anyone could have guessed.

Trying to do some research on the Blur TR, particularly the alloy version, which really interests me as my next bike. But there are nearly no reviews on it out there, and very few posts on it here. Seems like folks are either going Tallboy or Blur LT most of the time, and the Solo and Bronson are getting a lot of pub now too - why no love for the Blur TR?

Lalbagh The Lalbagh garden has demonstrated a marvellous capacity for accepting, accommodating and sheltering its vast and varied collection of flora. They cover a broad spectrum of intercontinental plant wealth.Lalbagh was established during the time of Hyder Ali on the model of the Mogul garden at Sira. His son Tipu Sultan, who enriched this garden later, enlarged it, by the addition of varieties of flowering plants by procuring seeds and plants from Kabul, Persia, Mauritius and Turkey. Sir Mark Cubbon who took over this garden in 1856 and Cleghorn elevated it to a Botanical Garden. The garden is now regarded as a guiding centre for research, extension and developmental activities in the entire state. Lalbagh is the name by which the famous garden at Bangalore is now known. But Lalbagh is not the original name of the garden. There are no records to prove that it was called Lalbagh till 1856. In earlier records it was referred to as the Mango Tope and the Cypress Garden. The reason why people stated calling it Lalbagh was due to the fact that there was a beautiful garden called Lalbagh at Srirangapatna. It was grown by Hyder and Tipu. The Gumbaz containing tombs of Hyder and Tipu is situated at the centre of the ground that was once a beloved garden Lalbagh of Tipu. Ater the death of Tipu Sultan, Lalbagh came into the possession of the East India Company. Major Waugh stocked the gardens with a variety of foreign fruit trees, useful vegetables and curious plants. In 1831, on the assumption of administration of Mysore by the British Company, the Lalbagh passed into the hands of the Chief Commissioner of Mysore. In 1836, Lalbagh was transferred to the Agri-Horticultural Society Branch at Bangalore. In 1856, the Lalbagh became a Government Botanical Garden, a Government controlled establishment. At the Rendition in 1881, the garden again passed to the Government of the Maharaja of Mysore. From the original area of 40 acres, the garden size was more than doubled. By the turn of the century, the total area of the gardens was more than 120 acres. The Glass House

Heres the scoop: I have an almost 3 year old, I have a history of ovarian cysts and had one removed last year, and I sometimes have a day or 2 of spotting around ovulation.
But this month, I had my period for just a few days on Dec 7 ...very normal period for me. According to mydays I ovulated on the 21st and I think I did due to CM and normal ovulation symptoms. We also DTD that day but no other fertile says. I spotted the next day and didn't think anything of it, but I have spotted every day since then. First it was light brown/creamy now its just light oink the first time I wipe. I've never had spotting last this long between cycles. Also noticed my boobs feel/seem a little fuller, I had cramps yesterday and the day before and been gassy and irritable. Any ideas or thought or similar experiences?!?! Driving me nuts!

Loved Hawe Creek and would easily recommend it. The sites are large with easy entrance and they have a super friendly staff. The only reason I didn't rate it higher was because the showers were a fair piece from the actual camp sites. I would have liked to seen those a little closer and I would have also liked to see some sort of playground for the kids. We camped at Hawe Creek COE in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: June, 2012 - $24.00
This park is NOT hard to find if you follow the directions and look for the brown sign. These are some of the MOST spacious sites we have ever seen and very well spaced from the next site. The lake access was wonderful.Sites 12-24 are easier access to the water. As kayakers this is important to us. They even let you take fallen branches, etc for firewood...what a great perk! The bathroom could have had more than one shower, but other that that we loved it and would go back in a heartbeat! We camped at Hawe Creek COE in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: September, 2008 - $11.00
First off park is hard to find. From from Hwy 378 & Hwy 221 in McCormick go 3 miles west on Hwy 378. Look for the Brown sign and turn south or left on to Chamberlains Ferry Road. Park is 4 miles on end of this road. Park is in a beautiful place on Strom Thurmond lake. Roads are asphalt, sites are hard gravel and a little off level. Most all sites set on the lake. Sites have ring rings, table, water, BBQ cooking equipment, most sites have 30/50 amps. 24 sites have 30 amps only. Dump station was in an odd place and on wrong side of the road. Boat launch inside the park. Loop in center has a very short turn. If you have a tow car you can not turn the loop. Some sites will be hard on big rigs to get in and out of, pick one with care. DTV was good and you have a number of channels. Verizon cell phone works very well. Price was on Golden Age card. Park hosts were very nice at check in. Place was close to empty first part of September. Park was noise free. Lake was very low on water due to low rains. We would return. We camped at Hawe Creek COE in a Motorhome.

text: I think it is very important for SqueakMap to work in the trunk image. SqueakMap is one of the greatest things ever for Squeak. I see it as a presentation tool, an opportunity for authors to provide, unlike with Monticello, one-click installs of rich code AND content. It supports SAR's, so dependencies are not needed. The only thing that's needed is a tool to help people build SAR files (which I've done, by the way, MaSarPackage, on SqueakMap. OTOH, I would like to know why we still have the Universe Browser button still prominently on the desktop. Isn't the menu accessible enough, or is Universes the new standard for where 3.11 is going?

Billy the Kid is the subject of many books and movies. Bob Dylan, called by one of our English faculty "the American Homer," wrote the music for one of movies. Michael Ondaatje, author of The English Patient, wrote a book of poems and vignettes in Billy's stead. I doubt our interest in Billy would have thrived so if not for Burns' book, published in 1926 and based on accounts of people living then who had known Billy. Burns creates such a sympathetic character and tells the story so well, not wanting to go to sleep with Billy's end on my mind, I had to stop reading just before the death scene.

Infrared sensing in snakes
The ability to sense infrared thermal radiation evolved independently in several different families of snakes. Essentially, it allows these animals to "see"[1] radiant heat at wavelengths between 5 and 30 μm to a degree of accuracy such that a blind rattlesnake can target vulnerable body parts of the prey at which it strikes.[2] It was previously thought that the organs evolved primarily as prey detectors, but recent evidence suggests that it may also be used in thermoregulation and predator detection, making it a more general-purpose sensory organ than was supposed.[3][4]
Phylogeny and evolution[edit]
The facial pit underwent parallel evolution in pitvipers and some boas and pythons. It evolved once in pitvipers and multiple times in boas and pythons.[5] The electrophysiology of the structure is similar between the two lineages, but they differ in gross structural anatomy. Most superficially, pitvipers possess one large pit organ on either side of the head, between the eye and the nostril (loreal pits), while boas and pythons have three or more comparatively smaller pits lining the upper and sometimes the lower lip, in or between the scales (labial pits). Those of the pitvipers are the more advanced, having a suspended sensory membrane as opposed to a simple pit structure.
In vipers, the pit organ is seen only in the subfamily Crotalinae: the pitvipers. The organ is used extensively by them to detect and target warm-blooded prey such as rodents and birds, and it was previously assumed that the organ evolved specifically for that purpose. However, recent evidence shows that the pit organ may also be used for thermoregulation. In an experiment that tested snakes' abilities to locate a cool thermal refuge in an uncomfortably hot maze, all pitvipers were able to locate the refuge quickly and easily, while true vipers were unable to do so. This suggests that the pitvipers were using their pit organs to aid in thermoregulatory decisions.[3] It is also possible that the organ may even have evolved as a defensive adaptation rather than a predatory one, or that multiple pressures may have potentially contributed to the organ's development.[4] The use of the heat pit to direct thermoregulation in pythons and boas has not yet been determined. Viperine snakes (which lack pit organs) also use thermal cues to guide strike behavior, but not to guide thermoregulation.[3][6]
In pitvipers, the heat pit consists of a deep pocket in the rostrum with a membrane stretched across it. Behind the membrane, an air-filled chamber provides air contact on either side of the membrane. The pit membrane is highly vascular and heavily innervated with numerous heat-sensitive receptors formed from terminal masses of the trigeminal nerve (terminal nerve masses, or TNMs). The receptors are therefore not discrete cells, but a part of the trigeminal nerve itself. The labial pit found in boas and pythons lacks the suspended membrane and consists more simply of a pit lined with a membrane that is similarly innervated and vascular, though the morphology of the vasculature differs between these snakes and crotalines. The purpose of the vasculature, in addition to providing oxygen to the receptor terminals, is to rapidly cool the receptors to their thermo-neutral state after being heated by thermal radiation from a stimulus. Were it not for this vasculature, the receptor would remain in a warm state after being exposed to a warm stimulus, and would present the animal with afterimages even after the stimulus was removed.[7]
In all cases, the facial pit is innervated by the trigeminal nerve. In crotalines, information from the pit organ is relayed to the nucleus reticularus caloris in the medulla via the lateral descending trigeminal tract. From there, it is relayed to the contralateral optic tectum. In boas and pythons, information from the labial pit is sent directly to the contralateral optic tectum via the lateral descending trigeminal tract, bypassing the nucleus reticularus caloris.[8]
It is the optic tectum of the brain which eventually processes these infrared cues. This portion of the brain receives other sensory information as well, most notably optic stimulation, but also motor, proprioceptive and auditory. Some neurons in the tectum respond to visual or infrared stimulation alone; others respond more strongly to combined visual and infrared stimulation, and still others respond only to a combination of visual and infrared. Some neurons appear to be tuned to detect movement in one direction. It has been found that the snake's visual and infrared maps of the world are overlaid in the optic tectum. This combined information is relayed via the tectum to the forebrain.[9]
The nerve fibers in the pit organ are constantly firing at a very low rate. Objects that are within a neutral temperature range do not change the rate of firing; the neutral range is determined by the average thermal radiation of all objects in the receptive field of the organ. The thermal radiation above a given threshold causes an increase in the temperature of the nerve fiber, resulting in stimulation of the nerve and subsequent firing, with increased temperature resulting in increased firing rate.[10] The sensitivity of the nerve fibers is estimated to be >0.001 °C.[11]
The pit organ will adapt to a repeated stimulus; if an adapted stimulus is removed, there will be a fluctuation in the opposite direction. For example, if a warm object is placed in front of the snake, the organ will increase in firing rate at first, but after a while will adapt to the warm object and the firing rate of the nerves in the pit organ will return to normal. If that warm object is then removed, the pit organ will now register the space that it used to occupy as being colder, and as such the firing rate will be depressed until it adapts to the removal of the object. The latency period of adaptation is approximately 50-150 ms.[10]
The facial pit actually visualizes thermal radiation using the same optical principles as a pinhole camera, wherein the location of a source of thermal radiation is determined by the location of the radiation on the membrane of the heat pit. However, studies that have visualized the thermal images seen by the facial pit using computer analysis have suggested that the resolution is actually extremely poor. The size of the opening of the pit results in poor resolution of small, warm objects, and coupled with the pit's small size and subsequent poor heat conduction, the image produced is of extremely low resolution and contrast. It is known that some focusing and sharpening of the image occurs in the lateral descending trigeminal tract, and it is possible that the visual and infrared integration that occurs in the tectum may also be used to help sharpen in the image. In addition, snakes may deliberately choose ambush sites with low thermal background radiation (colder areas) to maximize the contrast of their warm prey in order to achieve such a high degree of accuracy from their thermal "vision".[11]
Molecular mechanism[edit]
In spite of its detection of IR light, the IR detection mechanism is not similar to photoreceptors - while photoreceptors detect light via photochemical reactions, the protein in the pits of snakes is a "heat-sensitive ion channel" (actually a temperature sensitive ion channel). It senses infrared signals through a mechanism involving warming of the pit organ, rather than chemical reaction to light.[12] This is consistent with the thin pit membrane, which would allow incoming IR radiation to quickly and precisely warm a given ion channel and trigger a nerve impulse, as well as the vascularization of the pit membrane in order to rapidly cool the ion channel back to its original temperature state. While the molecular precursors of this mechanism are found in other snakes, the protein is both expressed to a much lower degree and is much less sensitive to heat.[12]

Cranes Put Kearney Nebraska on the Map-- Six weeks of the year, Kearney, Nebraska, population 31,000, achieves world class. A half-million sandhill cranes fly in from February to April to feed, fatten and frenzy along the Platte River on their way to far northern nesting grounds. Some years, Jane Goodall flies in herself. This year, it was Audubon Society President David Yarnold to keynote a national celebration of rivers and wildlife. After six weeks, the crane-havening Platte gives up its stardust. Kearney becomes a bump in the road again. Eleven million cars and trucks a year rush by unimpressed, although enough stop for conventions and events to rank Kearney, which is Nebraska's fifth largest city, the state's third in regional room tax collections. Kearney in Buffalo County lies conveniently halfway between Omaha to the east and Scottsbluff to the west.
The conventions put "butts in beds," says longtime director of tourism and Kearney native Roger Jasnoch. City clerks convene, school ball teams compete. They help fill 1,500 rooms in some 20 motels surrounding I-80. Yet that push for conventions has produced a website opaque about the place itself. The site has viewers click here for this, click there for that, but not for anything encompassing about the city itself. What town of 31,000 can support all this without rare desire and stewardship? Buffalo County's two root institutions Town palpably confirmed my intuition of civic vigor, so that if you're not already heading to Kearney for crane season or for the Huskerland State Wrestling Tournament, you want to get off I-80 at least for a day or two. Vigorous stewardship underscores Buffalo County's two root institutions: Fort Kearny State Historical Park and the Archway that together summarize Kearney's dual importance to the capture of the American West. Fort Kearny today is only a sketchy re-creation that does nonetheless correctly spell the name of the Mexican War general for whom the site was named before an extra "e" incorrectly attached to the town name. Others while at the fort re-considered the hardship ahead and chose to start new lives where they already found themselves. The Pony Express manned a home station at the fort, the first transcontinental railroad came through, the first transcontinental telegraph line. Kearney was first in Nebraska to get electricity, and one settler, the London-born Moses Sydenham, aware that Kearney stood midway between Boston and San Francisco, proposed that the nation's capital re-locate to Kearney from Washington, a cause that helped propel him to the U.S. House of Representatives although his cause crashed. The Archway reviews the westward saga theatrically but no less accurately in its messianic hardship. I cried walking through as I never did while 70 years ago learning in school about the attainment of bi-coastal America. Displays rarely sanctioned when Manifest Destiny fueled American exceptionalism here honor Native Americans and their sustainable way of life. At the Archway I also learned a revealing story about Kearney stewardship in the high-handed way that Disney-trained marketers set the monument on a crash course for bankruptcy soon after its opening before locals took control. Ask around. History in our own time Tribal members who came for the event for the first time since tribal exile ate sacred corn from heirloom seed (that grows poorly in Oklahoma). Later this year the Pawnee will return joined by a related tribe sundered to the Dakotas. Important outside-the-box outreach is going on here. Also thanks to the Archway, cars and trucks in 2013 will at least stop in Kearney along US 30 to mark the centennial of the Lincoln Highway, the national "Main Street," that for the first time connected America coast to coast by car and that America will officially celebrate here.. If Kearney comes off I-80 all motels, chain food and gas pumps -- and if it's all parking and chain stores north atop the hill that Moses Sydenham had in mind for the national capital -- one-of-a-kind shops fill The Bricks, a prosperous 120-year-old downtown. Multi-generational Kearneyites run these shops. Alley Rose is the top Wine Spectator-rated restaurant, Thunderhead Brewery the source of a brilliant red ale, Tex's Café is where waitresses call the ranchers "Dear" and "Hon." Tru Café is the organic hangout – soups, wraps, desserts, coffee plus regional art and crafts with music weekends, the work of a Kearney couple long active in The Bricks. At the Garage -- not an old garage recycled as a hip dive but put up two years ago by locals who designed it old-looking from scratch -- two sleek bars on two stories pull crowds. Fourth generation Kearneyite and bartender Bre Sorensen coaches shot put and discus at Catholic High School. With the doorman, she's writing a book about sex after reconstructive surgery. I asked a middle-age fellow coming out of the Downtown Barbershop if it was the best in town. "Dunno," he said. "I've never been anywhere else." Locals themselves have inspired and largely funded Kearney's distinct sites. At the Merryman Performing Arts Center, business The World movie theater downtown will re-open this summer as another performance stage, initiated by a Kearney-born screenwriter who did well in Hollywood, came back and launched the idea. Yanney Heritage Park includes an amphitheater, environmental education center, gardens, and activities centers on an 80-acre cornfield donated by its namesake family, started in 1998, funded chiefly by locals with its own foundation and endowment already in place when it opened in 2000. The Trails and Rails Museum of the Buffalo County Historical Society physically located in a 19th-century Union Pacific depot on the trails through town, collects historically significant structures, at a site begun with donated land. Most evocative among artifacts is a two-wheeled "Mormon handcart" of the kind that zealous pioneers yoked themselves to and pulled west. Ronnie at the Archway says they could cover 25 to 30 miles a day; oxen rarely covered 20. Retired UNK profs and corporate executives volunteer at the Archway. The first pow wow took 200 volunteers to pull off. Almost 100 more volunteer at the Kearney Fire Department that otherwise numbers only four paid firefighters. Outside money led funding of the Iain Nicholson Center at the Rowe Audubon Sanctuary, but volunteers keep it going. Art, music, cranes A different civic gift played out one evening at MONA where early visitors gathered for this year's Rivers and Wildlife Celebration. Venezuelan pianist, composer and UNK biologist Karine Gil performed her suite, "Sounds of the Platte River" – a latinized Die Moldau. Another evening in a blind at Rowe alongside the river, homage was reverential. The great crane flocks flew and doubled back, descending to river roosts safe from predators. Birders bent themselves into question marks behind their spotter scopes and big-eyed cameras. The louder the aggregating birds, the more quiet the blind became. Only the birds' raucous guttural cries overcame the whir of wings as they descended ever closer. I felt linked to pre-history, a junior species, a speck. The birds settled. I soared. In darkness, the birders trekked across the field back to their cars while, the same as for past millions of years, the crowd went wild. IF YOU GO Kearney Visitors Center, www.visitkearney.org, (308) 237-3178?. You can fly into Omaha and rent a car to Kearney, a three-hour drive. Or you can fly on from Omaha to Kearney. Double rooms even during the six-week crane season can be had for under $100. Book early. The same for the blinds at Rowe, though other outdoors sites also offer good (if unprotected) viewing around the river. Late winter and early spring sunrise temperatures can be in the 20s. Daytime reached the mid-70s when I was there.

Healthcare tax withdrawn as Lok Sabha passes Finance Bill
Tuesday March 22, 2011 07:20:08 PM, IANS
New Delhi: Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee Tuesday withdrew the proposed 5 percent service tax on healthcare after protests from lawmakers and the medical fraternity, even as the Lok Sabha passed the Finance Bill 2011. With the major opposition parties absent, the lower house of parliament passed the Finance Bill, which mainly contains the taxation proposals, by voice vote. Earlier initiating the discussion, Mukherjee proposed to withdraw the controversial 5 percent service tax on healthcare announced while presenting the budget for 2011-12. "I have decided to exempt the new levy in its entirety, both in respect of services provided by hospitals as well as by way of diagnostic tests until GST (Goods and Services Tax) comes into force," Mukherjee said. In the budget for 2011-12, the finance minister had proposed to levy five percent tax on services provided by hospitals with 25 or more beds that are centraly air-conditioned and on diagnostic tests of all kinds. The finance minister also gave excise relief to small scale firms in the readymade garments business to tide over the impact of customs duty. He announced basic reduction of custom duty on raw silk from 30 percent to 5 percent. Mukherjee said fiscal consolidation and maintaining reforms and economic growth momentum has been given priority in the budget. The government Tuesday introduced an amendment in the Lok Sabha to facilitate the roll-out of the proposed Goods and Services Tax regime. Mukherjee said in the coming days three more bills -- the revised Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority Bill, the Factoring and Assignment of Receivables Bill and the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks Laws) Amendment Bill -- will be introduced. The finance minister presented the federal budget of Rs.12.58 lakh crore (Rs.12.58 trillion or $280 billion) last month and the debate Tuesday was on one of its components -- the Finance Bill, 2011 -- which mainly contains the taxation proposals. A section of opposition members, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stayed away from the debate and did not participate in the voting on the Bill. The principal opposition parties demanded that the house first take up for discussion a privilege motion against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh over his WikiLeaks comments.

Editor's Note: This program was taped for KBIA/91.3 FM on Thursday, several hours before the resignation of Paul Wolfowitz as president of the World Bank was announced.
Loory: It has taken the World Bank and the Bush administration much time to find a way to remove Paul Wolfowitz as the bank's president. The World Bank has 185 nations as members and has given billions of dollars in loans to struggling economies to help them gain economic stature. Wolfowitz took over the bank presidency two years ago. As one of his first acts, he gave his girlfriend who also worked there a big raise, a promotion and then a transfer to a position with the State Department. When officials discovered his conduct, he admitted to it and said it was caused by a lapse of judgment on his part and murky ethics advice from the bank's board of directors. Now, he refuses to resign because of unethical conduct even though a committee of the bank's international board of directors said he was grossly unethical. On May 16, reports said Wolfowitz was willing to negotiate his resignation with the bank's board if it would not charge him with any wrongdoing. The Bush administration supported Wolfowitz in that position. On the surface, this is an open and shut case, but the controversy has been going on for six weeks. Why didn't the bank board just send Wolfowitz packing?
Joel Havemann, economics and international trade correspondent, Los Angeles Times, Washington, D.C.: The bank board wants to work out an amiable solution. There is no precedent for the board to fire the president, and the board doesn't know how to go about doing it. From its point of view, a graceful, quiet departure by Wolfowitz would be nicer than a messy firing.
Loory: Why is Wolfowitz holding on so long? Why doesn't he resign?
Havemann: Wolfowitz is convinced that he's right and that he did nothing wrong with his girlfriend's salary arrangement. He says his actions were at the behest of the ethics committee of the bank's board.
Loory: Is the Bush administration wrong to support Wolfowitz?
Nadia Martinez, co-director, Sustainable Energy and Economy Network, Washington, D.C.: The Bush administration is wrong for not admitting that Wolfowitz has done something wrong and that he should go. With things not going well in Iraq, it is not simple for the administration to admit that they've chosen the wrong person or done a wrong thing.
Paul Reynolds, correspondent, BBC, London: Wolfowitz brought this on himself through his personal behavior. He would be settling into the bank reasonably well, but he handled this very badly. However, his behavior was approved of twice by the ethics committee. The first time was when he told the committee of the financial deal for his girlfriend, and the second time was when a staff member sent an e-mail of complaint about it. He then cleared his actions with the ethics committee again. The committee has some questions to answer as to why it didn't dig deeper into this. Under the World Bank's rules, any sexual relationship has to be declared. Wolfowitz did declare the relationship. He then asked for advice from the ethics committee, which gave a rather unclear response. He took that as a green light to forge this hugely beneficial deal for her.
Loory: So the declaration of Wolfowitz's relationship with his girlfriend was very important?
Reynolds: He declared the relationship and then he was told she should be promoted and moved away from direct responsibility under him. It was difficult to see how that could be achieved, so he suggested that she should be transferred to the State Department. He laid down what salary she should get, including an annual increase that was double what she should have gotten.
Martinez: Wolfowitz was controversial from the beginning because of his role as the main architect of the war in Iraq. He constantly clashed with senior Bank managers during the last two years over his appointments of close allies. A lot of people were concerned that the Bank under Wolfowitz was taking a line that was quite similar to that of the Bush administration. The hands-on management style was found to be controversial. Examples include the rewriting of country strategy papers, taking out references to things like reproductive health in the strategy for Madagascar and editing the language in another paper that had to do with climate change. So, there were some controversial things going on under his leadership that went beyond just his personal affairs.
Havemann: The staff resented him from the beginning because he tended to ignore their advice and follow the advice of his close advisers. There is nothing more one can do to make an organization angry than to ignore its members' expertise. He also set up an office in Iraq.
Loory: What was wrong with setting up an office in Iraq?
Martinez: Many people inside and outside of the Bank were concerned when Wolfowitz came to its helm that he was there to engage with Iraq. Iraq was seen internationally as a situation that wasn't resolved to the point that the World Bank should get involved.
Loory: Wolfowitz came into office with a determination to clean up corruption within developing countries around the world. Has he made an impact?
Havemann: Some recipient governments, particularly in Africa, have cleaned up their acts in response to Wolfowitz's demands that they do so in order to qualify for World Bank aid.
Loory: Are Western European countries using the current situation to regain some leverage against the U.S.?
Reynolds: The Europeans, particularly that oppose the war in Iraq, aren't using this as a stick to beat the Bush administration. That doesn't mean that they aren't quietly satisfied. Wolfowitz has gotten his comeuppance if you like, but they haven't engineered it themselves.
Martinez: The Europeans aren't making Wolfowitz's departure a political issue because everyone benefits from maintaining the status quo. So, they're not going to rock the boat too much. The ones who are making a big deal of it are countries in Latin America where the World Bank has just about lost all legitimacy. President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela announced that his country was pulling out of the World Bank, and he paid back all his loans to the institution.
Loory: If Wolfowitz resigns, how will he be replaced?
Havemann: History has shown that when a World Bank term comes up near the end of the second term of a U.S. president, the party that controls the White House consults with the opposing party before making an appointment. In other words, a certain amount of bi-partisan comity has gone into previous appointments. With Bush's second term running down, he will try to get Democratic support for whomever he appoints.
Reynolds: Whomever the Bush administration appoints will be a much quieter figure. The World Bank needs to reconsolidate, to rethink and to get on with its work. It needs to quiet down after this little scandal.
Loory: The U.S. certainly has been taking hits around the world for the Iraq war, for its failure to produce any meaningful peace negotiation in the Middle East and for its policies in Latin American. Now, the country has this fight on its hands. It would seem an easy matter to solve, but it will take an admission that a key administration man did wrong.

Nixon by Public Domain
Kissenger by Public domain
Let's kick Richard Nixon, its great fun; we all did it at parties back in the 1970s. But that was the previous generation and this generation has missed out on the fun, like Woodstock. Unbeknownst to this current generation there would have been hundreds of fistfights and stabbings at Woodstock had it not been for three little words, "f**k Richard Nixon!"
All one had to do was simply step between the adversaries and say, "Come on now, guys, hey, look. f**k Richard Nixon!" Instantly the opponents would separate and begin to smile and agree, "Yeah, you're right, man. f**k Richard Nixon!" The potential warriors would depart as buddies and would exchange bong hits until their eyeballs melted in their sockets and they would forget all about their conflicts.
That was in the twilight's last gleaming of American democracy, when a President could still be removed from office for malfeasance. Let me rephrase that, Richard Nixon could be removed from office for malfeasance; it's doubtful whether anyone else could be. I know all about George W. Bush and Bush was a drunken, coke-snorting, mean-spirited, frat boy. There is no doubt in my mind that he is the truest definition of a sociopath, but Nixon was just plain crazy.
Nixon had paranoid delusions that people were out to get him and so he responded with bile, tirades, enemy lists and dirty tricks. Because of his paranoid delusions he alienated everyone around him until even members of his own party would walk all the way across the street just to piss on Richard Nixon. Eventually these self-fulfilling, paranoid delusions gave to Richard Nixon a kind of an Eeyore quality.
Nixon's most trusted advisor was Henry Kissinger and Nixon only trusted him while he was in the room. Kissinger's first government job was as a translator for the head of the CIA, Allen Dulles. Kissinger was his protegee and it was Dulles who helped to plan the Bay of Pigs invasion and Dulles who told Kennedy that he needed to launch an unprovoked, full-scale military attack on Cuba. Kennedy fired Dulles and his Deputy Director Charles Cabell, whose brother Earl Cabell changed the presidential motorcade route in Dallas.
Nice folks. It was Dulles who proposed a plan to fake an aircraft hijacking and to blame it on Cuba. This is where this cast of unknowns began their rise into the halls of corporate fascism. George Bush, E. Howard Hunt, Porter Goss were all operatives under Dulles, and after Dulles was fired their futures were in question. But when Richard Nixon chose Henry Kissinger as Secretary of State their meal tickets became safe and secure. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, CIA operative General Richard Secord was moving heroin on military aircraft in Vietnam and depositing the profits in banks in Australia. Then Secord began to sell pilfered US military hardware to friend and foe alike, and when this was discovered Secord was promoted!
Nixon ran for the presidency with the promise of a secret plan to end the Vietnam War. His secret plan, as it turned out, was this: get Richard Nixon elected President and then fight the North Vietnamese until they give up. Nixon authorized the secret bombings of neutral countries, as well as illegal invasions. Cambodia's President Norodom Sihanouk was playing both sides so the CIA had him overthrown. Sihanouk had signed a secret pact with China in 1965 but was playing footsie with the CIA, so when the CIA disposed of him, China said, "Good riddance!"
Kennedy wouldn't expand the Vietnam War, and well, he had an accident. So when Richard Nixon ended the Vietnam War without a victory he, well, he had an accident, too. After invading and bombing civilian areas in neutral countries and bombing civilian and humanitarian targets in North Vietnam, Nixon was removed from office because of a bungled burglary and financial campaign irregularities, and Americans with a straight face say the Catholic Church is in denial!
With Spiro Agnew's departure due to racketeering conviction two chief executives of the country are removed from office within ten months and no one suspects anything is amiss. No one suspects levers behind the throne but Gerald Ford is elected President by one vote, Richard Nixon's vote. Ford's lone claim to fame was to pardon Richard Nixon to end the long national nightmare of Watergate. Nightmare is a good synonym for the coup d'etat that happened while America slept. Two attempts were made on Ford's life in little more than two years and who was the director of the CIA then? Anyone? Why, it was good old George H. W. Bush.
