MINNEAPOLIS, April 1, 2013 – Gov. Mark Dayton, Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak and St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman have proclaimed April as Safe Digging Month in Minnesota. CenterPoint Energy and Xcel Energy are partnering with the Common Ground Alliance, the Minnesota Office of Pipeline Safety, the governor's office, the mayors' offices and the Minneapolis and St. Paul fire departments to commemorate National Safe Digging Month, which is dedicated to increasing awareness of safe digging practices.
State of Minnesota
City of Minneapolis
"Calling 811 before digging or excavating prevents 99 percent of damages to underground utilities nationally," said Joe Vortherms, division regional vice president of operations for CenterPoint Energy. "It is important that everyone digs with C.A.R.E. Call 811 before your dig. Allow at least two working days for the utility lines to be marked. Respect the marks, which means hand dig within 24-inches of the marks. Excavate carefully." Laura McCarten, Xcel Energy regional vice president, said damaging or striking a single line can create a dangerous situation, cause injury, repair costs, fines and outages. "Every digging project, no matter how large or small, warrants a call to 811 at least two working days in advance," McCarten said. "Installing a mailbox, building a deck, planting a tree and laying a patio are all examples of digging projects that need a call to 811 before starting to ensure safety."
Since the 811 "Call Before You Dig" campaign was created in 2004, excavation damages have declined by roughly 40 percent. Minnesota homeowners and contractors who call 811 are connected to Gopher State One Call, the local center that notifies the appropriate utility companies of the caller's intent to dig. Professional locators are sent to the digging site to mark the approximate locations of underground lines with color-coded flags, spray paint or both.
The depth of underground natural gas pipes, electricity cables and other utility lines can vary for a number of reasons, such as erosion, previous digging projects and uneven surfaces. Utility lines need to be properly marked because even when digging only a few inches, the risk of striking a utility line exists.
State law requires property owners to have underground lines located prior to any digging. This includes any lines previously located. Customers also need to make arrangements with a private locate company to locate lines not owned by a utility, such as a line installed by a homeowner to heat a pool or light a garage. Digging without locates can cause property damage, interrupt services, cause personal injury and even death if someone accidentally digs into underground utility lines.
Homeowners and professional excavators in Minnesota can visit call811.com for more information and to request the free locates. For a fast and easy way to enter your locate requests and for more information visit the Gopher State One Call website and look for E-Ticket or download the app at www.gopherstateonecall.org

This was a night of good fights with disappointing endings for me
Was hoping to see Barnett win but Browne showed that he is for real. Meisha/Rouesy was a good fight but I think it'll be the last Rouesy fight I watch. I really can't stand she is the antithesis of everything I like about the sport.
All I can say about the ending to Anderson/Weidman is "unfortunate" . Weidman was looking like he was on the way to proving the first fight was no fluke. This ending will leave room for some to question the legitimacy of his wins.
Sad to see a great career ending like that.

Your location: Home > > GHG Inventories (Annex I)
The objective of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is to stabilize
greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent and reduce
dangerous human-induced interference with the climate system. The ability of the international
community to achieve this objective is dependent on an accurate knowledge of GHG emissions trends,
and on our collective ability to alter these trends.
In accordance with Articles 4 and 12 of the Convention and the relevant decisions of the Conference
of the Parties (COP), Annex I Parties to the Convention submit to the secretariat national greenhouse
gas inventories of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases not
controlled by the Montreal Protocol. In addition, Annex I Parties provide inventory data in summary
form in their national communications under the Convention. These inventories are subject to an
annual technical review process.

Two snowboarders who are stranded on Mount Rainier overnight in blizzard-like conditions were forced to spend another night on the mountain.
The search was called off Monday night and searchers planned to head out again on Tuesday morning.
Searchers believed they briefly spotted the two snowboarders a half-mile away late Monday afternoon, but it was a brief visual before the snow picked up and they lost sight of them.
The snowboarders, identified as Derek Tyndall of Sumner, 21, and Thomas Dale, 20, are thought to be between Paradise and Camp Muir at 7,500 feet. Both are described as experienced skiers who had planned hiking up Paradise for a day of snowboarding Sunday.
The men were caught off guard by a storm that rolled in with whiteout and blizzard conditions. They took shelter in a cave, but only brought equipment and supplies for a day trip.
Officials said the top of Mount Rainier received 20 inches of snow and rain overnight.
We just want to find them as quickly as we can and get them out of there, said Kevin Bacher with Mount Rainier National Park.
The two called rangers on their cell phones around 7 a.m. Monday and were able to give authorities their location near McClure rock. They also called home to tell their families they were ok.
They'll make it. There's no doubt in my mind. They're strong, said Rod Tyndall, snowboarder's father. The guys have gone longer. They had a little water and a little bit of food, is what they told rangers, and they're together. They're not separated, so I have no doubt in my mind that makes them stronger as a team to get through it.
About 28 rescue personnel from Tacoma and Olympic Mountain Search and Rescue, along with two search dogs from Kitsap County, were assisting in the rescue. Rescuers are hoping to get a break in the weather.
Darkness comes early this time of the year, said Bacher, so we only have a few hours of daylight really to get to them and find them and get them down before nightfall. Otherwise, they'll have to spend another night up there.
The temperature on the mountain was reportedly 19 degrees with gusts of wind up to 70 mph early Monday morning.
KING 5's Teresa Yuan and Drew Mikkelsen contributed to this report.
Correction: An earlier version of this story misspelled Dale's name.

/College Affordability
College Affordability
Keeping an Indiana University education affordable in both the short and long term is essential for our students' success and for the well-being of their families. To that end, we've worked to keep tuition costs low and increase the amount of financial aid available.
We've also launched initiatives designed to help control student debt levels.
This multifaceted financial literacy program provides students with the knowledge they need to make smart financial decisions. Beginning in the fall of 2013, all incoming students will be required to take an online financial literacy course. A peer counseling program is also in the works. In addition, all IU students are encouraged to complete the interactive learning modules available on the MoneySmarts website.
Test your money smarts now.
Finish in Four
Set to launch in the fall, this exciting new program provides juniors and seniors who are on track to graduate in four years with a financial award that offsets any increase in tuition and fees for their final two years. Because this is a pilot program, only students who have achieved junior (60 hours in two years) or senior (90 hours in three years) status by Fall 2013 will be eligible. It is a university-wide program, so students from all seven campuses can qualify.
Learn more about the award.
Free Course Guarantee
Indiana House Enrolled Act 1348-2013 requires that public higher education institutions in the state provide degree maps to all new first-time, full-time students beginning fall 2014. It also provides an important new guarantee for students: Follow your map and register during priority registration, and you are guaranteed a space in the courses you need or else the institution must provide the course for free in a future semester (unless they can provide you with a revised map that includes the course in a later semester but still allows you to graduate on time).

I don't understand why so many fans want our starting center to be traded??? I'm totally confused about why his name is always brought up in trade talks from the standpoint of the old philosophy - You never trade BIGS for guards unless that player is a top-tier performer night-in and night-out. Robin has loads of potential and is still developing as a legit starting C. Everybody needs to chill and let this guy continue to improve.
ryno and davis is our starting frontcourt of the future so you trade lopez if you can improve your team
U only trade him if u get equal value and for a 7 ft defensive stud with a great developing post game who is 24 and on the cheap his value is thru the roof, he owned hibbert
Like I said we would have to get a legit small forward like Paul George or someone of that nature and sign al Jefferson cuz u need a true center
All Monty Williams talked about over the years was the lack of height on the team. Listen to his quotes from the playoff games vs the Lakers and last season. Monty wanted 7footers and now he has that in Lopez so why would they just trade him. The guy has played better than anyone imagined but we still want to send him off.
I will admit again that I was a little leery about what Lopez would bring us and I have been pleasantly surprised, to say the least....going on the premise that Gordon will eventually pan out (which still could be a big one), Lopez's presence has bolstered the 5 spot to the point where its only our 3rd greatest need to upgrade....its become more and more apparent to me that the Bledsoe's and Teague's of the world need to be pursued and then we need to address the need for a big league 3...
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
1) Lopez doesn't have "loads of potential." He pretty much is what he is, and his ceiling is limited by his lack of athleticism. I admit, I was very much hoping that he would regain the athletic ability he had when he entered the league, but his knee injuries did him in. He can barely even get off the ground, but his basketball I.Q. helps him get into great defensive positioning. He is definitely a legit starter, and he has a lot of value around the league, but he won't be much better than he is right now.
2) We should only trade him for great value. It's not the same situation as when people were clamoring to trade Aminu. We don't want to dump Lopez for scraps. Lopez's value is at an all-time high, and we should capitalize before it dissipates.
3) The main reason we should trade Lopez for a starting PG or SF is because Davis should end up being our center of the future. Once he gets stronger, he'll be a perfect center. He and Anderson need 35 minutes a game, and that means we don't need a stud at center. We just need a guy like Jason Smith who can play both positions and can give us a solid 20 min/game. We can add another guy to the mix come the off season, but right now, we should capitalize on Lopez's inflated value.
We don't need a pg rivers will be fine and when gordon comes back our passing will also improve, we need a scoring small forward
We better not trade him. I just ordered my Lopez Rougarou jersey. He can be the starting center AND the mascot next year.
Prisoner of the moment. Yes, he played great last night, but are we already forgetting the three game stretch last week where he had 3 defensive rebounds total?
He is a solid 3rd or 4th big, but as countless others have address, AD and Davis will each need 35 minutes a night when this team hits its peak and J-Smitty is a good 3rd big. Plus, there will be more bigs available this offseason than wings and PG's.
And the reason Lopez is in all these trade scenarios isn't because we think he stinks- quite the opposite. He is one of the only Hornets with trade value. It is a compliment to how he is playing. Of course we all would prefer to give up Aminu or Henry, but no team in the league would give back anything of value for those guys.
If you want to propose a realistic trade scenario, the only thing of value you can put on the Hornets end is Lopez, their 1st, and maybe Vasquez. So no, people will not stop.Sorry.
The team would trade Lopez for Bledsoe and then you all will try to figure out who the team can trade Bledsoe for next.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

Okay but needs booster with each use Review by Beth
Price Value Quality
Loved the concept of using wool, but find I require the use of a booster, in addition to the infant size prefolds (bummis) I use, with every diaper change in order to avoid leaks. I care for my wool covers very carefully (as instructed and using Eucalan wool wash), but still, a single pee will dampen through the cover and moisten my 1 month old daughter's outfit to varying degrees. With prefold, booster and cover all applied she has quite the bulky bum. Despite needing a booster, I still enjoy these covers but would have purchased only 2 rather than 4 in hindsight. Note: I don't find the crepe version that I also purchased any different. (Posted on 3/5/12)

The Travel Money Belt is a simple and clever way to discreetly carry cash, traveler's cheques, and/or a photocopy of your passport. Because the Travel Money Belt has no metal parts, you can wear it through some airport security checkpoints (not advanced imaging technology, though).
It's made of 1-1/4" / 32 mm heavy nylon webbing with a simple plastic buckle, which means no moving parts to break. For those of you who don't tuck your shirt in, the buckle is pretty unobtrusive, too. Concealed on the underside of the belt is a 20" / 500 mm #3.5 YKK coil zipper with a plastic zipper slider.
The pocket created by the zipper can hold up to 15 US $100 bills: three stacks of five bills, folded into thirds or quarters. Same idea with traveler's cheques and the copy of your passport.
Good to know: the Travel Money Belt is not waterproof, so if you wear it in a hot climate, sweat a lot, or wear it swimming, the contents will become wet.
Available in five sizes:
Extra Small fits waists 26"–28"
Small fits 30"–32"
Medium fits 34"–36"
Large fits 38"–40"
Extra Large fits 42"–44"
If between sizes or in doubt, order the next size up.
Added bonus: it holds your pants up, too.

|Vice President of Athletics and Facilities
Dr. Lynn Griffin has served as Coker's Director of Athletics since 2010 and in 2012 was promoted to Vice President of Athletics and Facilities. During her time at Coker, the Cobras have grown and succeeded in several areas of athletics. She has been a driving force behind the addition of six new sports: men's lacrosse (2011-12), men's volleyball (2012-13), wrestling (2013-14), women's lacrosse (2013-14) and men's and women's track and field (2014-15). Under her leadership, Coker made the transition to a new conference, the South Atlantic Conference in July 2013.
In 2012-13 the Cobras captured regular season conference championships in men's soccer and men's tennis. The baseball team won the Conference Carolinas Tournament, the NCAA Southeast Regional and advanced to the NCAA DII National Championship. It was the first time in school history that baseball had advanced to the NCAA postseason.
Griffin also helped bring Coker's newest atheltic facility, the Harris E. and Louis H. DeLoach Center to life. The new 71,000 square-foot athletics facility broke ground on April 25, 2013. Designed by McMillan Pazdan Smith Architecture, the facility will have a main gymnasium with seasting capacity of 1,832 and a wide-range of features including practice gym, classroom space, state-of-the-art training rooms, offices, a conference room and a cafe. The DeLoach Center is slated to be opened in the spring of 2014.
In addition to Coker's success in 2013, Griffin was inducted into the Tarleton State Athletic Hall of Fame in June of 2013. She was inducted along with the entire 1991-92 women's basketball team. She served as an assistant coach for the TexAnns for two years while completing her master's degree. During her second season under head coach Jan Lowrey, Tarleton State reached the NAIA Division II National Tournament, finishing second to Northern State College of South Dakota. Boasting four All-Americans that year, the TexAnns compiled a 30-8 overall record with an 8-0 mark in District VIII play. They finished the season ranked second overall in Division II.
In 2011-12, the Cobras won Conference Carolina's championships in men's soccer and men's golf. The Cobras hosted their first ever NCAA regional in men's soccer in 2011.
In 2010, Griffin received the Indiana Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (IAHPERD) Pathfinder Award. Given to just one female member of Indiana AHPERD each year, the Pathfinder Award was established to honor members of Indiana AHPERD who have and/or continue to advocate, recruit and enhance opportunities for girls and women in sport and sport leadership. In addition, she was awarded the Indiana Pathfinder award by the National Association for Girls and Women in Sport.
Griffin came to Coker after spending seven years at the University of Indianapolis as the Senior Associate Director of Athletics where she oversaw 12 of the institutions 21 athletics programs. In 2008, the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA) named her NCAA Division II Administrator of the Year.
Griffin is a member of the NCAA Division II Nominating Committee and has also served on two NCAA championship committees (women's basketball and swimming and diving). She is an active member of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and NACWAA. Griffin serves as an instructor in Coker's newly formed Masters of Science in College Athletic Administration program.
Prior to her time at the University of Indianapolis, Griffin was the Associate Director of Athletics, Compliance Coordinator, Senior Woman Administrator, Head Women's Basketball Coach, and Sport Studies Instructor at St. Andrews University in Laurinburg, N.C. Before St. Andrews, Griffin was the head women's basketball coach and physical education instructor at the University of South Dakota. Prior to USD, she was an assistant woman's basketball coach and Physical Education instructor at UNC-Asheville. She began her career at Tarleton State University where she was the assistant women's basketball coach. While at Tarleton, the women's basketball team advanced to the NAIA National Championship game in Salem, OR.
Griffin received her bachelor's degree from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke where she was a two-sport athlete, women's basketball and softball. At Tarleton she earned a master's degree in exercise and sports studies. She earned her doctorate in education in sport management from Northcentral University in 2011.

Comments about Wellgo 888 Alloy Quill Pedal:
It's impossible to tell from the picture, but these pedals are one-sided. This means, one side is flat and intended for pedaling, and the other side is curved (i.e. the axle sticks out further than the cage).
The description doesn't say it, but these type of pedals are meant to be used with toe-clips exclusively. If you try to use them as flats, you'll be annoyed by the fact that they do not keep their orientation – you're constantly having to roll your foot across the pedal to flip them to the good side. The pedalling side also has very little traction and feel quite slippery when used. Again, you wouldn't be able to tell this just by looking at them.
Get these if you run toe clips, otherwise avoid! The description should be updated to indicate that these are one-sided pedals, recommended for use w/ toe-clips.
Comments about Wellgo 888 Alloy Quill Pedal:
I still like to use toe clips and straps and I have large feet. These pedals fit me well. The bearings are usually too tight from the factory, but can be adjusted easily. Good quality pedals for the price. Use them on several bikes and they never seem to wear out. Don't like the plastic dust caps. Sometimes they fall off.
Comments about Wellgo 888 Alloy Quill Pedal:
I guess they work, but the two sided thing is odd. I wish I would have noticed before I purchased.

Iranian state-funded broadcaster Press TV aired coverage of a border ceremony marking the inauguration of a $7.5 billion natural gas pipeline planned from Iran. Press TV noted that ministers from regional neighbors attended the ceremony.
The project has faced a series of delays since it was proposed in the 1990s. India was once considered a partner in a project strongly opposed by the United States.
Farhatullah Babar, a spokesman for Zardari, told Pakistani newspaper Dawn that Islamabad was moving ahead with its energy interests in mind.
"The government is going to initiate this important project in view of the energy requirements," he was quoted as saying. "The project will bring economic prosperity, provide better opportunities to the people and help defeat militancy."
Iran said it has completed its section of the pipeline and agreed to provide Islamabad with a $500 million loan to finance construction on its side of the border.
Washington supports a rival pipeline planned from Turkmenistan, which has the support of the Asian Development Bank. Last week, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the Iran-Pakistan pipeline raises "serious concerns" about potentially sanctionable activity.

Corrugated Aluminum Window Well
Corrugated aluminum keeps the dirt out while letting the sun shine into the basement's window. The metal may even help brighten the space by bouncing light into the interior. Building codes in most, if not all, municipalities require egress windows in basements. Egress windows allow people to escape in a hurry in case of a fire. The ripples offer an advantage that other materials may not; a toe hold to facilitate an escape.

"I was browsing through this site and came across a podcast about the history of the Orthodox Church in Alaska. It was part of the American Orthodox History podcast, I believe. It caught my eye because I'm an Alaskan Native teen and wanted to know more about how Orthodoxy came to be here. I listened to the three parts. It was very enlightening, and it gave me so many more reasons to be proud as an Orthodox Christian. On top of listening to the music from this site, I will now also listen to the podcasts, because they give me so much insight! Thank you guys for all the amazing content available here."

Jordan - Aqaba, Wadi Rum &the Desert Highway (Chapter)
This is the Aqaba, Wadi Rum & the Desert Highway chapter from Lonely Planet's Jordan guidebook.
Southern Jordan is the home to the unforgiving Southern Desert, a quintessential landscape of sand dunes, oases and weathered escarpments, beautiful at sunset and awe-inspiringly extreme in midsummer. A trip to Wadi Rum makes all but the most unromantic at heart long to leave the modern world behind and attempt the life of a nomad. And that's possible – at least for a day or two amid the camps of Rum and Diseh, on camel back, by 4WD or floating above in a hot-air balloon. Nearby Aqaba, together with neighbouring diving centres, give access to another of Jordan's natural splendours: the coral gardens of the Red Sea.
- don mask and flippers and hover with the pipe fish over spectacular coral gardens in the Red Sea
- maps
- taste fresh tuna steaks in one of the excellent fish restaurants of Aqaba
- transport
- relax at one of Jordan's southerly coastal resorts and enjoy the three 'S's (sun, sea and sand)
- restaurants & accommodation
Coverage includes: Aqaba, South Coast, Wadi Rum, Diseh, The Desert Highway, Ma'An, Qatrana and Qatrana.

Club competitions
National team competitions
Nationality: RUSBorn : 27.06.1986Place of birth: St.Petersburg
Height: 1.82mPosition: SF
Team 2012-13: Sparta&K M.R. Vidnoje (Russia-PBL)
Career: Spartak St. Petersburg (Russia-Premier League, 2004-07), Chevakata (Russia-Premier League, 2007-09), Spartak St. Petersburg (Russia-Premier League, 2009-11), Sparta&K M.R. Vidnoje (Russia-Premier League, 2011-13)
There are few better three-point shooters at the elite level than Belyakova, who is always a willing assassin from the perimeter and adept at driving a triple dagger right through the heart of her opponents. She has really thrived in the last couple of seasons at club level since moving to Vidnoje. Having debuted with a handful of minutes at EuroBasket Women 2011, she was the second top scorer for Russia in London. Not that three-point shooting is all that the guard offers. She is a very good rebounder for her size and also takes care of the ball, often moving it simplistically to teammates and then finding an open spot on the floor where she can hurt her opponents with her shooting skills.

Richmond Fed Publication Reports on Stress Testing of Banks
How can regulators make sure that America's banks are ready to weather a future crisis in the economy? There are no guaranteed solutions, but many believe that part of the answer is subjecting banks to stress tests. What is stress testing, and how does it work? This featured article in the latest issue of Region Focus looks at these and other questions about this recent addition to regulators' toolkits.

Richmond Fed's Economic Quarterly Focuses on the Relevance of Monetarism
Implicitly, most central banks now reject the propositions of monetarism, argues Robert L. Hetzel in the latest issue of Economic Quarterly. They do not characterize themselves as creators of money, but instead emphasize their role in influencing financial intermediation. They do not discuss monetary policy in terms of a rule, but instead use the language of discretion. They refer to the low level of interest rates to characterize monetary policy as stimulative despite low rates of growth of money and nominal gross domestic product. Hetzel explores the question of whether monetarist ideas retain relevance for central banks.

Richmond Fed Publication Reports on Who's Leaving the Workforce

Richmond Fed's Economic Quarterly Addresses Bankruptcy and the Orderly Liquidation Authority
In response to the financial crisis of 2007-2008, Congress created the Orderly Liquidation Authority (OLA) as part of its financial regulatory reform bill, the Dodd-Frank Act. The OLA's provisions are aimed at simultaneously addressing two conflicting goals — mitigating systemic risk, which is thought to emerge when large financial firms enter the bankruptcy process, while also minimizing moral hazard, which arises when investors believe that firms are likely to be granted a government bailout to save them from bankruptcy and prevent systemic problems. In this issue of Economic Quarterly, Sabrina R. Pellerin and John R. Walter review the features of both bankruptcy and the OLA and identify how certain provisions of the OLA aim to address apparent weaknesses inherent in the core features of bankruptcy when resolving systemically important financial institutions, and specifically, how these provisions intend to balance the conflicting goals of limiting systemic risk and the almost inevitable increase in moral hazard.

Richmond Fed Publication Takes a Look at Innovation in the Financial Sector and the Broader Economy
Innovation is the key to long-term economic growth. But as the United States continues its slow recovery from the deepest recession since the Great Depression, restoring the country's "innovation economy" has taken on new urgency. The cover story in the latest issue of Region Focus examines how much economists know about what spurs innovation, as well as how policymakers might use that information to boost jobs and GDP. And in his opening column Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker argues that we should be cautious about attempting to limit financial innovation.

Richmond Fed's Economic Quarterly Examines the Trend of Working-Age Men Leaving the Labor Force
Marianna Kudlyak, Thomas Lubik, and Jonathan Tompkins of the Richmond Fed explore changes in the aggregate employment of men between the ages of 25 and 64 in the United States from 1968 to 2010. Since 1970, the percentage of this group that is employed has trended down, and the percentage that is out of the labor force has trended up. In the aftermath of the Great Recession, 76.3 percent of the group was employed in 2010 (an all-time low), while 14.7 percent was out of the work force (an all-time high). The authors decompose the changes in these labor market outcomes into changes in the sociodemographic composition of the population and changes in the labor market outcomes of different sociodemographic groups. Using those results, they project that the share of men aged 25 to 64 out of the labor force may increase to 16 percent in 2015.

Special Issue of the Richmond Fed's Economic Quarterly Explores Modern Macroeconomic Theory
The great recession of 2007--2009 has generated significant external criticism of the way economists study and try to understand aggregate economic outcomes. Modern macroeconomic theory, in particular, has been criticized for its representation of the economy through highly stylized environments that abstract from distributional issues, ignore or minimize linkages between the financial and nonfinancial sectors of the economy, and, in general, rely too much on highly aggregative frameworks. This special issue of Economic Quarterly collects four articles that describe how modern macroeconomic research has dealt with some of these issues as part of a research program that has been ongoing for more than a decade.

Richmond Fed Publication Reports on the Health of U.S. Manufacturing
Manufacturing employment in the United States has been declining for decades, a trend that accelerated during the 2007-2009 recession. Will the jobs come back? Can American manufacturing hold its own by focusing on higher-value products requiring high-skilled labor? The cover story in the latest issue of Region Focus magazine looks at these and other developments in the sector.

Hugh Aynesworth, author of November 22, 1963: WITNESS TO HISTORY will speak on Tuesday, Nov. 5, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Warmack Branch Library, 760 Bardin Rd.
Bureau chief of both Newsweek and the Washington Times, and investigative team leader for ABC's 20/20, Hugh Aynesworth was a 32-year-old reporter for the Dallas Morning News when JFK's visit to Dallas ended in tragedy. His coverage of the assassination, the trial of Jack Ruby, and the conspiracy flurry that followed earned him two Pulitzer nominations and recognition as one of the most respected authorities on the Kennedy assassination. His reporting of Martin Luther King's assassination, the 1993 Branch Davidian standoff and fire, and the 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City marked his career advancement from a smalltown sports editor to bureau chief. He will be autographing and selling copies of his book.
Dr. Jerry Rodnitzky will speak on Saturday, November 16th, from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm. Jerry Rodnitzky is professor of history at UTA, where he specializes in recent American cultural history. He holds bachelors and masters degrees from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. in history from the University of Illinois. He will speak on the assassination and its effects on the United States.
Both programs will be held in the meeting room of the Warmack Branch. Seating will be limited.
In the spirit of JFK's famous inaugural address, "ask not" how the legacy of John Kennedy can inspire others. Let it inspire you. During the month of November, the Warmack Branch will conduct the John F. Kennedy Memorial Food Drive. Canned food collected will benefit the North Texas Food Bank. We welcome donations by program attendees and library patrons. The Betty Warmack Branch Library is part of the Grand Prairie Public Library System. It is located at 760 Bardin Road, at the corner of Robinson Road. For more information call 972-237-5772, or visit us online at www.gptx.org/library.

Steven Schwaitzberg:
A universal translator for surgeons
Laparoscopic surgery uses minimally invasive incisions — which means less pain and shorter recovery times for patients. But Steven Schwaitzberg has run into two problems teaching these techniques to surgeons around the world — language and distance. He shares how a new technology, which combines video conferencing and a real-time universal translator, could help. (Filmed at TEDxBeaconStreet.)

Trainer Dallas Stewart has been very high on Saturday's Silverbulletday winner Unbridled Forever ever since she came into his barn, and the bay daughter of Unbridled's Song justified his optimism with the 1 1/2-length tally in the first leg of the local series that concludes with the Grade 2, $400,000 Fair Grounds Oaks on Louisiana Derby Day, March 29.
Kenneth and Sarah Ramsey's Vicar's in Trouble drew off to a 6 3/4-length victory in Saturday's Grade 3, $200,000 Lecomte at Fair Grounds, jumping straight from a 13-length win over Louisiana-bred maidens to smashing success in a Kentucky Derby prep race. Rosie Napravnik rode the Mike Maker-trained colt.
A scoring racing in the "Road to the Kentucky Derby" series, the one-mile and 70-yard Lecomte was worth 10 points to the winner.
Lemons Forever posted one of the biggest upsets in recent Kentucky Oaks history when taking the 2006 edition at odds of 47-1. Her three-year-old daughter, Unbridled Forever, won't be so easily dismissed in the future following a convincing score in Saturday's $125,000 Silverbulletday at Fair Grounds.
The lone stakes winner among 10 rivals in Monday's $150,000 Smarty Jones at Oaklawn Park, Coastline will be seeking a measure of redemption in the one-mile event after a stumbling start resulted in an eight-place finish as the favorite in the Grade 3 Delta Downs Jackpot.
Wildcat Red breezed five furlongs over Gulfstream Park's fast main track on Thursday morning, in his lone tune-up for the Grade 2 Holy Bull on January 25.
Under jockey Paco Lopez, the Jose Garoffalo pupil went out at 7:30 a.m. (EST) following the first renovation break, and was clocked in 1:01 4/5, ranking seventh of 13 horses. It was his only work since finishing second in the Gulfstream Park Derby on January 1.
Why would a trainer ship two three-year-olds into New Orleans with such unorthodox past performances as Dennis Foster's Got Shades and Cesar Parra's Rainbow Trip for a race like Saturday's Grade 3 Lecomte? After all, the Lecomte is the centerpiece of Road to the Derby Kickoff Day at Fair Grounds, and it is for sophomores with designs on the 2014 Triple Crown later this spring.
Got Shades, a colt by Pollard's Vision, has never raced on dirt, and Rainbow Trip, a gelding by Sightseeing, has been running on the grass for his last three starts.
The five-stakes "Road to the Derby Kickoff" day at Fair Grounds on Saturday includes the $125,000 Silverbulletday at one mile and 70 yards, which features three-year-old fillies with Kentucky Oaks aspirations.
Six fillies were entered in the Silverbulletday, with Divine Beauty the likely favorite. A debut winner at Churchill in September, the Brereton Jones homebred romped by 6 1/4 lengths over subsequent Dixie Belle winner Street Story in the December 21 Letellier Memorial going six furlongs.
Easily one of the best bred colts on the Triple Crown trail, Gold Hawk will have an opportunity to live up to his formidable bloodlines when he makes his stakes debut in Saturday's Grade 3, $200,000 Lecomte at Fair Grounds.
The Lecomte, at one mile and 70 yards, anchors the five-stakes "Road to the Derby Kickoff" day at the New Orleans track.
Early nominations are now being accepted from owners and trainers of 3-year-old Thoroughbreds who hope their young horses have the talent to the compete in the 2014 Triple Crown, the coveted series of American classic races that includes the $2 million-guaranteed Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (Grade I), the $1.5 million-guaranteed Preakness (GI) and the $1.5 million-guaranteed Belmont Stakes (GI).
Churchill Downs has adjusted its policy on supplemental nominations to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (Grade I) to make supplemental entrants eligible to make the field for the race if they have qualified on the "Road to the Kentucky Derby" point system.
Undefeated Kentucky Derby Future Book favorite Shared Belief missed a scheduled workout at Santa Anita Sunday morning but is still on course for his three-year-old debut in that track's Grade 2, $200,000 Robert B. Lewis on February 8, according to assistant trainer Dan Ward.
"An abscess busted out on his right front foot," Ward explained
Fair Grounds-based trainer Dallas Stewart, who saddled Lemons Forever to win the 2006 Kentucky Oaks for a $96.20 win payoff, is now hopeful of pursuing that sort of campaign with Charles Fipke's Unbridled Forever, a precocious daughter of that Lemon Drop Kid mare.
To that end, the McComb, Mississippi-born Stewart breezed Unbridled Forever five furlongs in 1:03 2/5 Sunday morning over Fair Grounds' fast main track in preparation for Saturday's $125,000 Silverbulletday on Road to the Derby Kickoff Day at the Crescent City oval.
Windy Hill Farm's Smarty's Echo worked a half-mile in company Sunday morning in preparation for Saturday's Grade 3, $200,000 Lecomte Stakes, centerpiece event of the Road to the Derby Kickoff Day at Fair Grounds.
The chestnut son of Smarty Jones was caught in :48 4/5 over the fast main track.
"That work went really well for us," trainer Anne Smith said, speaking outside her barn later in the morning. "I don't know if the clockers caught them both or not, but I know what I got him in.
Everything remains on target for Nashua winner Cairo Prince, who is scheduled to make his three-year-old debut in the Grade 2, $400,000 Holy Bull at Gulfstream Park on January 25.
Working in company with four-year-old Shadwell-owned colt Qeyaas, the gray son of Pioneerof the Nile breezed five furlongs in :59 4/5 on Sunday morning at Palm Meadows. Cairo Prince posted the fastest of 29 moves at the distance on the fast main track, and easily surpassed his workmate's time of 1:00 4/5.
Midnight Hawk surged past Kristo in the stretch and remained unbeaten in his stakes debut Saturday, posting a 1 3/4-length victory in the Grade 3, $98,000 Sham at Santa Anita. Trained by Bob Baffert, the Midnight Lute colt completed a mile in 1:36 2/5 with jockey Mike Smith.
The gray three-year-old also added his name to the Kentucky Derby Leaderboard, earning 10 points for winning the "Prep Season" event.
The word was already out on WinStar Farm and Twin Creeks Racing Stables' Constitution even before his debut in Saturday's 4TH race at Gulfstream Park, and despite a slow start, the Todd Pletcher sophomore lived up to his even-money favoritism -- and advertised himself as a hot prospect for the Kentucky Derby trail.
It is now less than 10 days until Road to the Derby Kickoff Day on January 18 at Fair Grounds, but at this early juncture the Grade 3 Lecomte, showcase race of that gala afternoon, is looking like it may end up as a duel of wills between Albano and Gold Hawk.
Midnight Hawk and Top Fortitude, impressive debut winners at Hollywood Park, head a short field in Saturday's Grade 3, $100,000 Sham at Santa Anita. The 1 1/16-mile test serves as the first graded event of 2014 for Kentucky Derby hopefuls out west and five of the six entrants are exiting maiden tallies.
As part of the "Prep Season" portion of the Road to the Kentucky Derby scoring system, the Sham will award points on a 10-4-2-1 scale to the top four finishers.
The new "Big Board" under construction at Churchill Downs, the legendary home of the Kentucky Derby, will be the only video board in an outdoor stadium or arena capable of displaying the new and advanced 4K ultra-high definition technology.
The announcement was made by Panasonic Corporation of North America and Churchill Downs Racetrack on Monday in advance of the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show, the world's largest consumer electronics show that runs Jan. 7-10 in Las Vegas.
The stage is set for what could be a pre-Kentucky Derby showdown on Saturday when impressive maiden winners Kristo (Distorted Humor) and Midnight Hawk (Midnight Lute) meet in the $100,000 Sham (G3) for three-year-olds over a mile at Santa Anita.
The John Sadler-trained Kristo worked six furlongs Sunday under Rafael Bejarano in 1:12 4/5 on the fast dirt. The bay colt is coming off a 6 3/4-length maiden victory at 1 1/16 miles on October 31 at Santa Anita. It was his third start. He was second in his first two, but was the 3-10 favorite each race.

SWANSBORO — Some coaches might shy away from the question or sidestep it like a mud puddle.
Not Swansboro's Doug Kidd.
After blanking Croatan 4-0 on Wednesday night to advance to the NCHSAA 2-A East Regional semifinal at Clinton tonight, Kidd was asked whether his Pirates had what it takes to bring home another girls' state soccer championship.
"Oh, definitely," he said without hesitation. "I felt that from day one with this team. I think we're capable of winning a state championship, but so are the teams that we're going to be facing along the way. There's no ifs, ands or buts about that. We are very capable of being a team that can go to Raleigh (for the state finals)."
And Kidd said his confident remarks weren't calculated to bolster his team's confidence.
"No, it's just something I honestly believe," he said. "I think this team, we have some better soccer players that have come in and helped out. I think our upperclassmen are starting to come into their own. This team has talent, enough talent to win it."
To do so, however, the Pirates will have to first pull off a first tonight at Clinton. They'll have to beat the Dark Horses for the first time this year. Clinton beat Swansboro at home 3-0 on March 8 before the teams tied 1-1 on April 16 at Swansboro.
While the teams shared the
"We pretty much were only two weeks, three weeks into the season when we played them the first time," Kidd recalled. "I think they were more prepared than us and more seasoned than us with experience. But I do think that we have improved as the season's gone.
"When we played them the second time I thought as far as possession goes and chances go we outplayed them. We did make a mistake defensively and a good team will make you pay for that, and that's what Clinton did. So a little disappointed we didn't get the win there, but we had improved and played them a lot tougher."
A win would send the Pirates into the regional final against the winner of the Carrboro-Roanoke Rapids — and one more win from a trip to the state finals, which is a destination not unfamiliar to Kidd and the program he's built at Swansboro.
The Pirates, who move up to 3-A next year, won the state 2-A title in 2010, 2009 and 2006.
And senior Julianna Tucker agreed with her coach that the Pirates have what it takes to go all the way.
"I think we don't have weak spots," said Tucker, who along with Brenna Kate Grass was on the 2010 title team. "When we play other teams we can take apart certain areas. I don't think we have one of those. I think as long as we play as we can we can beat any team we play…, but we have to play good."
So far in the playoffs that's exactly what the Pirates have done. Actually, Swansboro came into the postseason on a high. Since a 1-0 loss to Northside on April 22, the Pirates have not only won seven straight but have outscored their opponents 46-0.
"I think losses help you," Kidd said. "Obviously you don't want a lot of them, but losses help you become a better team. There's not too many times you see an undefeated team win a state championship.
"When you make mistakes that lead to a loss, you know what those mistakes are and the kids know what they are, and I think it helps them see better what they need to do to become a better player and therefore a better team."
One key to the shutout run has been the play of the Pirates' defense, which Kidd said has been more of a team effort than just one player stepping up big. Junior goalkeeper Roxanne Green has had "a pretty solid year," Kidd said, adding she seems to come up with a key save even in games in which she is tested a lot.
"So it shows her quality right there," he said.
Kidd said sophomore defender Haley Stewart has "really stepped up her leadership skill in the back," including communicating well to organize the defensive. Supporting Stewart and Green are sophomore Kanani Thomas and freshman Abby Taylor in the back while senior Ashley Neal and freshman Tianna Boeckman have been "doing the dirty work in the midfield" to help the defenders.
"We're much improved in that area," Kidd said.
All of which the Pirates hope will add up to another state championship, and Croatan coach Paul Slater said that is a distinct possibility.
"They're good enough definitely, especially having Doug as a coach," Slater said, "and they're very balanced as a team. They've got the wide players. They've got the forwards. They got the midfield. Going forward they're a dangerous team."
Streaking Swansboro
Swansboro has won seven straight, outscoring its opponents 46-0 in that span. Here's the tale of the pitch:
April 23 - Swansboro 9, South Lenoir 0
April 26 - Swansboro 9, East Duplin 0
April 30 - Swansboro 2, Topsail 0
May 3 -Swansboro 4, Croatan 0
2-A State Playoffs
May 8 - Swansboro 9, N. Brunswick 0
May 11 - Swansboro 9, Eastern Randolph 0
May 15 - Swansboro 4, Croatan 0

Last week's drama in Congress was the debate about a continuing resolution to fund the government – at least for a while – beyond the end of the fiscal year on Monday.
The House passed a bill that would fund government operations through December 15, but would not fund the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). It is clear that that bill won't pass the Senate and the bill without the language to defund the health care program will be sent back to the House – but probably not until Sunday.
The House will have to accept what the Senate sends to them or a government shutdown is likely. However, most people want to avoid a government shutdown, so some type of compromise is at least possible.
But if we get past the government shutdown crisis; another awaits. It's yet another "debt ceiling" crisis.
The Treasury Secretary says if Congress doesn't raise the debt ceiling again, by the middle of October the government will be unable to pay its bills. Leaders of the House say they will demand spending cuts before they will approve an increase in the debt ceiling. But the administration says it will not negotiate and that Congress should raise the debt ceiling so the government can pay for programs that have already been signed into law.
The outcome of this confrontation is as unclear as the current one.
With back-to-back financial crises, work on the farm bill moves to back burner.
The House is expected to appoint members to a conference committee next week, but few people expect much progress during the first half of October. The extension of the 2008 bill expires on Monday, but not much happens until the end of the calendar year when milk price supports would have to be raised.
The 2013 crops are covered by the 2008 farm bill provisions regardless of what happens in the conference committee.
The farm bill conference committee will have a lot of issues to resolve. The biggest will be the gap between the House and Senate with respect to the nutrition programs.
The House bill changes provisions that result in savings in the food stamp program of nearly $40 billion over 10 years compared to savings of $4 billion over that same period in the Senate bill. Other key issues:
- The House bill also sets the nutrition programs to expire in three years while the farm bill would expire in five years. This provision would sever the link between the farm program provisions and the nutrition programs for the foreseeable future.
- The House bill would repeal and replace the permanent legislation that has forced Congress to update farm bills in the past.
- The Senate bill requires farmers to comply with conservation provisions to be eligible for crop insurance. Both bills have target prices and offer payments when prices are below those levels, but the target prices are very different and payments are based on planted acreage in the House bill and base acres in the Senate bill.
There are also differences in dairy policy and a controversial provision that would prevent states from enacting laws that would inhibit trade with other states. It is not at all clear that a compromise bill can win approval in both Houses of Congress and be signed into law.
If it can't – then we are back to another extension of the 2008 bill!

OXFORD, Ohio - Closing out their respective seasons with strong performances, sophomore wide receiver Dawan Scott and senior outside hitter Lisa Treadway have been named the Miami Athletes of the Week connected by Frontier Communications for the week of Nov. 19-25.
Scott (Columbia, S.C.) scored a pair of touchdowns in Miami's season-ending loss to Ball State Friday. His first score came on a 3-yard run out of the "Wildcat" formation for his first career rushing touchdown. Scott then scored again on a 34-yard reception later in the contest for his third multi-touchdown game this year. He finished with nine catches, which were the second-most in his career, for 120 receiving yards, his second 100-yard receiving game this year and fourth of his career. Scott added 13 rushing yards on three carries, as well.
In the final match of her career, Treadway (Dayton, Ohio) put on a show in leading the RedHawks to a 3-1 victory over Cincinnati Saturday.
