- Pen or pencil
- Scrap of paper
- Colorful felt
- All-purpose scissors
- Fabric scissors
- Metal snap barrettes
- Aleene's Fabric Fusion fabric glue
- Tulip Fashion Glitter Shimmer Transfer Sheets
- Pressing cloth
- Iron
Use the pen and paper to sketch out a slightly rounded triangle, about 2" high. Add 1/2" at the base of the triangle and then mirror the shape below it to create the template. Cut it out with the all-purpose scissors. (You can also fold the paper at the base after you've drawn the top triangle and the extended base, and cut around the shape through both layers.)
Fold over the felt and lay the template on top of the folded section. Use the fabric scissors to cut around the template, through both layers
Mark and cut a second template, in the shape of a rounded triangle, about 1/4" smaller on all sides than the original triangle in Step 1.
Select a color from the iron-on glitter sheets and trace the second template twice onto the shiny surface. Use the all-purpose scissors to cut them out. Peel away the shiny surface layer and arrange them on the felt ear pieces. Lay a pressing cloth over the ears, and press firmly with the iron for about 40 seconds. (Repeat if necessary to set the glitter transfer.)
Clip the metal barrettes in the center, on each side of each felt ear piece, so that the top of the barrette corresponds to the wrong side of the ear piece and vice versa. Generously apply fabric glue around the edge of the wrong side of the ear piece. (Felt absorbs a lot of the glue, so don't hold back!)
Fold the ear piece around the top of the barrette to seal the glue, and repeat on the second barrette.
Let dry. Optional: Clip the layers together with extra barrette clips while the glue dries!
Quick! Try them on before the actual cat who's been helping you craft gets a little too interested and starts batting them off your workspace

Minnesota Cup has formed a partnership with TreeHouse Health in order to help further develop the strong Life Science and Health IT sector that Minnesota is well-known for.
May 2014 Archives
Minnesota Cup is featuring companies that have entered this year's competition! This week's lucky winner is SotaPitcher!
This year's Minnesota Cup entries saw a significant amount leadership from University of Minnesota alumni and military veterans!
The Minnesota Cup and Holmes Center for Entrepreneurship launched two new initiatives this year to encourage more women to get involved in entrepreneurship and enter the Minnesota Cup.
Greater Minnesota residents have a strong showing in this year's competition with 41 counties represented. Working with five regional partners, the Minnesota Cup has made it a priority to reach and support more entrepreneurs across Minnesota.
Going into the 10th annual Minnesota Cup, we anticipated a good turnout due to the new Food/Agriculture/Beverage division, the educational programming we offered earlier this year including our first annual Women's Event and increase in cash prizes, but we were not expecting over 1250 participants!
Congratulations to JonnyPops for winning the 1st Annual Ole Cup and advancing to the semi-finalist round of the Minnesota Cup!
The Minnesota Cup recently asked JonnyPops some questions to better understand what JonnyPops is all about.

North Dakota's senior senator is Republican John Hoeven, a former governor who was elected in 2010 to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Byron Dorgan.
Hoeven (HO-ven) was born in Bismarck and grew up in Minot. His father was a banker who in 1969 took over the First Western Bank & Trust of Minot, which became a family business. John Hoeven started working there as a bookkeeper at age 15. He graduated from Dartmouth College and went on to earn an M.B.A. from Northwestern University. In 1981, he returned home to become First Western Bank's executive vice president. In 1993, he was chosen to head the state-owned Bank of North Dakota—a creation of the democratic-socialist Nonpartisan League—by a board that included his predecessor as governor, Republican Ed Schafer, and also Attorney General Heidi Heitkamp, now the state's junior senator. Under Hoeven's stewardship, the bank's worth rose from $990 million to $1.6 billion, and its loan portfolio increased from $200 million to $1 billion.
In 2000, after Schafer retired as governor, Hoeven ran for the post against Heitkamp. He cited his work attracting and retaining local jobs and organizing the effort to keep Minot Air Force Base off the government's base closure list. He called for economic development in the state with an emphasis on the technology industry and on improving education, and he pledged more money for teacher training and salaries. He won 55% to 45%.
As governor, Hoeven used North Dakota's burgeoning state revenues to fund programs to stimulate economic development. In his first years, he combined several state agencies into a Commerce Department. In 2002, he announced an ambitious research and development program, borrowing $50 million for university projects to help commercialize new technology. From 2005 to 2007, more than $40 million in state funds and double that amount in private funds were invested in the Center of Excellence in Life Sciences and Advanced Technologies and other research centers devoted to developing technology.
Much of this was aimed at exploiting North Dakota's considerable energy resources, including oil, coal, ethanol, wind, and hydrogen. In 2002, Hoeven announced his EmPower North Dakota energy plan, aiming to build three new biodiesel plants by 2015 and to have wind supply 10% of the state's electricity by 2015 (up from 5%). In 2004, Hoeven was reelected, capturing 71% of the vote to former state Sen. Joseph Satrom's 27%. In 2005 and 2007, Hoeven submitted budgets with reductions in local property taxes and big increases in education spending that targeted raising teachers' salaries.
National Republicans had hoped that Hoeven would run against one of North Dakota's two Democratic senators. He opted not to challenge Sen. Kent Conrad in 2006 and, in November 2008, won another term by easily defeating state Sen. Tim Mathern. Before the 2008 election, Hoeven brushed aside speculation that he would run against Dorgan or Rep. Earl Pomeroy in 2010, but did not pledge to serve out his third term. In January 2010, he entered the Senate race, criticizing President Barack Obama's economic agenda and what he called an overly bureaucratic health care overhaul. "Washington's approach is to put a 2,000-page bill between you and your doctor," he said.
He didn't have to campaign very hard. The Democrats barely put up a fight against a governor with an 80% approval rating in a state that had moved solidly to the GOP in recent elections. The Democratic nominee was Tracy Potter, a state senator from Bismarck who struggled to raise money and get momentum. Hoeven spent $3 million on the campaign; Potter spent $28,000. He won easily, 76% to 22%.
As a freshman senator, Hoeven continued his focus on energy issues. He was an outspoken critic of Obama's decision to block construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline expected to run from Canada to the Gulf Coast. In March 2012, Hoeven offered a bill to reinstate the project. Though 11 Democrats crossed over to support the bill, it still failed to reach the 60-vote barrier to end a threatened filibuster.
As a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Hoeven supported the farm bill re-authorization that passed the Senate in June 2012. The bill ended direct payments to farmers but included a new form of crop insurance favored by farm-state senators outside of the South. Hoeven worked with Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., to stop a proposal to eliminate target prices, which serve as a safety net when market prices drop. However, a final farm bill was eventually pushed off until 2013.
Despite his conservative views, Hoeven is not a free market absolutist. After Hurricane Irene hit the East Coast in the summer of 2011, he was one of 10 Republicans to support a $6.9 billion increase in Federal Emergency Management Agency funding. When the Souris River flooded his hometown of Minot, Hoeven supported more than $1 billion in federal disaster aid for the area. He showed a willingness to cross party lines when he joined 14 other Republicans to vote for a reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act in April 2012. In early 2013, Hoeven was one of just 12 Republicans to vote for a successful measure to raise the limit on how much debt the government can acquire. In the early months of 2013, Hoeven expressed support for the idea of bipartisan immigration reform being pushed by Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. and John McCain, R-Ariz.Show Less

John Hoeven Votes and BillsBack to top NJ Vote Ratings
National Journal's rating system is an objective method of analyzing voting. The liberal score means that the lawmaker's votes were more liberal than that percentage of his colleagues' votes. The conservative score means his votes were more conservative than that percentage of his colleagues' votes. The composite score is an average of a lawmaker's six issue-based scores. See all NJ Voting
The vote ratings by 10 special interest groups provide insight into a lawmaker's general ideology and the degree to which he or she agrees with the group's point of view. Two organizations provide just one combined rating for 2011 and 2012, the two sessions of the 112th Congress. They are the ACLU and the ITIC. About the interest groups.
The key votes show how a member of Congress voted on the major bills of the year. N indicates a "no" vote; Y a "yes" vote. If a member voted "present" or was absent, the bill caption is not shown. For a complete description of the bills included in key votes, see the Almanac's Guide to Usage.

American feminism has always been about more than the struggle for individual rights and equal treatment with men. There's also a vital and continuing tradition of women's reform that sought social as well as individual rights and argued for the dismantling of the masculine standard. In this much anticipated book, Dorothy Sue Cobble retrieves the forgotten feminism of the previous generations of working women, illuminating the ideas that inspired them and the reforms they secured from employers and the state. This socially and ethnically diverse movement for change emerged first from union halls and factory floors and spread to the "pink collar" domain of telephone operators, secretaries, and airline hostesses. From the 1930s to the 1980s, these women pursued answers to problems that are increasingly pressing today: how to balance work and family and how to address the growing economic inequalities that confront us. The Other Women's Movement traces their impact from the 1940s into the feminist movement of the present.
The labor reformers whose stories are told in The Other Women's Movement wanted equality and "special benefits," and they did not see the two as incompatible. They argued that gender differences must be accommodated and that "equality" could not always be achieved by applying an identical standard of treatment to men and women. The reform agenda they championed--an end to unfair sex discrimination, just compensation for their waged labor, and the right to care for their families and communities--launched a revolution in employment practices that carries on today.
Unique in its range and perspective, this is the first book to link the continuous tradition of social feminism to the leadership of labor women within that movement.

Long-time TV reporter and anchor Kathi Goertzen died Monday after a 14-year battle with benign brain tumors, KOMO Tv reported. She was 54.
Our co-worker, our angel, our precious friend, Kathi Goertzen, died today, surrounded by her loving family. The long fight against the tumors that have ravaged her brain is over. She is at peace now, comfortable and surrounded by all that is good, KOMO said on a special web page in memory of Goertzen.
[CLICK to share your memories of Kathi]
[CLICK to make a donation to the Kathi Goertzen Foundation]
Goertzen was a familiar face to TV news viewers in Western Washington. The Seattle native was on the air more than 30 years.
She went to work for KOMO TV right after graduating from Washington State University in 1980. Within two years she was anchoring the weekend news.
Goertzen put her celebrity to work for good causes, but in 1998 she was diagnosed with a non-cancerous tumor that damaged the nerves controlling her speech and swallowing.
She had surgery and returned to work within a month, but the tumor re-grew in 2005. A series of surgeries left her unable to anchor.
She was voted Woman of the Year in the 2011 Best of Western Washington and spoke with KING 5's Meeghan Black.
It's been a rough road, as you know. I was diagnosed with this atypical meningioma more than 10 years ago and I've had several surgeries and radiation an tried lots of different drugs and I've lose cranial nerve that controls my face and my hearing and my voice and my balance, she said.
When she couldn't work on camera, but Goertzen continued to work off-camera, behind the scenes at KOMO. She was philosophical about her disease.
There's only one way to take life now and that's one day at a time, and it's funny when you stop planning and planning and try to decided what you're going to do next, how each day becomes more beautiful, she said.
KOMO Vice President of News, Holly Gauntt, said the support from everyone in the community meant the world to Goertzen.
Please know that your love enveloped her. It strengthened and encouraged her. You helped Kathi fight a valiant fight, please know that it mattered deeply to her that you were there, she said.
Gov. Chris Gregoire issued a statement via Twitter, saying Kathi Goertzen was among the finest and most courageous people. She is in my heart and will not be forgotten by her countless friends.
Goertzen is survived by her husband, Rick Jewett, her two daughters, Alexa and Aandrea, and her parents.

30 August 2013 09:39 [Source: ICB]
India's Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers is planning to introduce mandatory quality norms and registration on the same lines as those adopted in Europe on imports of basic chemicals into the country, a government official said on 22 August.
The minimum quality norms will be evolved with the assistance of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and a new national chemical centre while importers would have to register their shipments with the government, the official said.
The minimum quality norms and mandatory registration would be to set to World Trade Organization (WTO) compliant barriers to dumping of basic chemicals detrimental to health and environment and would be along the lines of legislation prevalent in the European Union, he added.
In the first phase, basic chemicals covered under this would include caustic soda, soda ash, aniline, phenol, hydrogen peroxide, boric acid and phthalic anhydride. These chemicals have been selected in the first phase because they are already under anti-dumping duty (ADD) regime and it has been determined by the ministry that sub-quality imports of these chemicals was having a negative impact on health and environment.
The official said new quality norms and registration may take at least one year from now as it has to complete several processes before coming into force.
India does not have any system of classification of basic chemicals based on impact on health and environment, not does it have any registration of imports. Hence, the new system will be incorporated in the National Chemical Policy, a draft of which was currently in circulation among stakeholders seeking comments, the official said.

WATCH: Obama Tells The Story Of A Wounded Soldier
There was one moment during President Obama's State of the Union speech on Tuesday that overcame all the bitter division and cynicism of Washington.
It happened when Obama spoke about Army Ranger Cory Remsburg, who was almost killed by a roadside bomb during his 10th deployment to Afghanistan.
Sitting next to first lady Michelle Obama, Remsburg received two minutes of applause from the chamber.
Despite surgeries and struggles Remsburg never quit, Obama said.
"My fellow Americans, men and women like Cory remind us that America has never come easy," Obama said.

Keep in mind that your organization may run the risk of a claim of negligence if you don't test applicants for such positions.
If you test for illegal drug use, there are three points in the hiring process when drug tests can be required:
Before an offer of employment is made. After a conditional offer is made, but before a candidate is formally hired. Soon after the employee begins working, with the understanding that employment is still conditional on passing the test.
Generally, requiring a test after extending a conditional offer of employment is best.
When requiring a drug test, keep in mind that there is no single test. There are several options; see the accompanying chart for specifics.
Take Action
Know your organization's policy. Review your employee handbook. Most organizations have a stated policy about drug testing and illegal drug use. Whatever the policy, follow it. Don't be the only manager to require pre-employment drug tests unless, for example, you manage the only department in which employees directly affect public safety.
Don't keep the policy a secret. If you require employees to pass a drug test as a condition of employment, make that clear up front. Include a statement to that effect on the application form, and advise candidates of the policy during the interview.
If there is no company policy, develop a policy for your department. Don't ask for drug tests using the whim system. Determine for which positions you'll require a pre-employment drug test and which you won't. Make sure the legal department or an attorney approves it.
If you require a drug test, use a vendor recommended by your Human Resources department. If there is no HR function in your organization, or the HR function has not recommended a vendor, find a reputable firm. How do you know if a firm is reputable? Ask the following questions:
How long has the firm been in business? What sort of tests does the lab do? How does the lab maintain confidentiality? What is the lab's chain of custody procedure for the sample? Is testing done under the direction of a board-certified toxicologist? Is the lab federally certified? Has the lab been checked? Is the lab insured? Will the lab guarantee its work?
Then, ask for references — and call them.
Real-World Examples
There are two sides of the drug-testing coin:
A candidate for a management position was asked to take a drug test. At the lab, he was asked to pass through a crowded waiting room carrying a specimen cup. A lab technician then watched while he urinated, ostensibly to ensure that the sample wasn't tampered with.
Then the candidate had to pass through the crowded waiting room again, this time carrying the full specimen cup. The experience didn't do much to preserve the candidate's dignity, or to give him a favorable impression of his prospective employer.
During his initial interview, a candidate for a sales management position seemed distracted and edgy. He had a hard time sitting still. He drank a lot of water and sweated profusely. He apologized for all of the behavior and chalked it up to nerves.
Still, the executive filling the position suspected a problem and scheduled a second interview in the evening, over dinner. At that interview, the candidate seemed relaxed and comfortable. The candidate seemed well qualified, and he was hired.

"stayed at a Comfort Inn in Ottawa my first day of vacation, I like it so much I booked another night online for later that week. I ended up booking with the wrong Comfort Inn (Which I didn't know until after I had paid for this one) The worker said they didn't get my reservation request online and she was very quick to find me a room. I will think twice before booking online again, it is such a hassle to get your money back when there is a probably with the hotel. I hope they will give me my money back, Sinse I did stay at a Comfort Inn."

The service always appears to be begrudging. The air conditioners make a racket all night and the rooms are grungy. And, even though I had a non smoking room, all the corridors stank of smoke. The place is dirty. I have finally decided not to stay there again. However, the other Comfort Inns are fine..I would like to make note of an employee named "Margaret" who was on duty on the evening of June 25th at the Comfort Inn in Thunder Bay. She went very far out of her way to assure that I was comfortable, to provide assistance and to be very gracious. She really deserves credit. However, I would strongly advise anyone to avoid the Comfort Inn on Michael Street in Ottawa."

Printable View
How do you select the correct exposure for a nighttime cityscape shot.
A shot of a downtown city from a bridge etc.?
I would be using a 4x5 if that makes any difference.
Hopefully, if you have your tripod set up on the bridge
there won't be any traffic. Which could cause the camera
to vibrate slightly resulting in a wee bit o' fuzziness.
Shoot it on 35mm, with bracketing, the week before :).
On a slightly more serious bent, experience gained with this issue in smaller formats can only help.
It is difficult to meter these scenes effectively. Experience may be your most important tool for this.
If you are shooting near dusk or dawn, a reading of the sky, adjusted for the tone you want, may be the most useful.
There are "exposure calculators" out there which are essentially lists of the exposures for different types of scenes that many have found helpful.
If you shoot digital as well, it can be useful to take digital shots at the same settings you are using for your film shots. Then, when you determine what the best film exposure was, you can compare it with the digital exposure at the same settings, to get an idea how the digital camera can be used as a meter in these sorts of situations.
Light meters for the most part don't work at night. Although if you can get a reading from yours. You'll have to check the reciprocal values for the film you're using. You can google them. It should come up with what the meter reads and then the value you multiply by and then the corrected exposure.
A lot of the time when you shoot at night. It requires a lot of experimentation. Make sure you take something to record your exposures with.
As someone as already pointed out, shoot it with 35mm before hand, using the same film you intend to use on the night.
Check out The Nocturnes
Hope this helps.
At risk of being contentious, I'd perform some preliminary tests with a digital camera, make adjustments for reciprocity and then bracket three or four exposures on 5x4.
If I had the time, and knew the weather was going to be consistent, I'd do some tests on 35mm or MF between the digital and the 5x4.
Otherwise, try to get hold of one of the old "Kodak Data Guides for Professionals". They used to be printed in a letterbox format and were full of useful info - such as exposure guides for unusual situations. I've not referred to mine recently and I can't find it, but when I was shooting lots of film it was always a good starting point.
As noted by an earlier poster, light meters can have difficulty especially reading shadows to set the exposure, but I have had success in shooting night scenes of cities by turning the zone system on its head. There is often enough light to spot meter important highlights, so I take a reading of these, place this reading on Zone VII or VIII, and let the shadows look after themselves. Some shadow areas will print black, and some highlights like streetlights may be paper white, but after all, it is a night scene and I think that inky black shadows and blown specular highlights are acceptable. It is surprising, though, how much detail is printable. Just don't forget about reciprocity failure or use a film like Acros that is not significantly affected by reciprocity failure.
Digital cameras make BAD exposure meters for film cameras, triply so for night exposures as digital doesn't experience reciprocity the way film does. As mentioned, first find the reciprocity charts for the film(s) you are using. Then if you have a spot meter, meter the same way you would for a daytime exposure- pick a spot that you want to render middle gray in the final print, and meter off of it. Use that as your base setting, then adjust for reciprocity. When in doubt, if you can't find a reciprocity chart, 1-10 seconds on the meter= +1 stop. 10-30 seconds, add two stops. Beyond 30 seconds, add three. When developing your film, remember to compensate in reverse - your highlights will be proportionately blown out to the degree that you adjusted for reciprocity, so for each additional stop you gave, cut development by 10% or you'll be guaranteed to have highlights completely resistant to burning in or inky blobs for shadows and midtones, and exposure times for each print into the range of reciprocity failure for your paper (and that's an achievement!).
Good Morning, Barry,
One sheet of film can provide lots of information. Do a test shot in the same manner you would make an exposure test when printing, that is, a stepped exposure. When you pull the dark slide, don't completely remove it; leave a half or three-quarter-inch portion in the holder. It's easy to mark the slide so that it is far enough out for exposure of the whole sheet of film but still in the holder. Make one exposure, then push the dark slide in an inch or so; make a second exposure and push the slide in another inch; then repeat a third and fourth time. Yes, it's probably impossible to do this without a tiny bit of camera movement from one exposure to the next, but with a solidly locked-up tripod, it shouldn't be a problem. You're only doing a test, after all, so slight movement won't affect the usability of the results very much. Process the sheet, preferably using a very soft-working developer. I'd start with T-Max 100 or Acros at an exposure of 20-30 seconds at ƒ16, with subsequent exposures adding about the same amount of time each. Keep notes! If you're doing a twilight shot, for example, note the time after local sunset. When you return for the "keeper" shots, you can always make minor adjustments for slightly different conditions. When I do night exposures, I usually shoot four sheets (because that's the way I process and contact) with slightly different exposures centered on whatever I think is the "correct" exposure.
I agree with the previous comments about the limited usefulness of a light meter; experience and note-taking are more than adequate. Fortunately too, the eye and brain seem to make generous allowances for varying renditions of night scenes.
One nice thing about night shots is that once you have your exposure figured out, unless your scene has a LOT of artifical light or very little, the exposure settings don't change for the rest of the shoot, unless you start before true night or keep shooting until sunrise.
Underexposure will be easy to commit, overexposure will be nearly impossible (in the shadows especially). That being said, give it hell and hold back the burnt out lights when printing.

HBO's Liberace film aims to humanise through love story
Published on Jan 5, 2013 11:38 AM
PASADENA, California (REUTERS) - Michael Douglas takes on larger-than-life entertainer Liberace as he plays the singer in an HBO film about a secret love affair in the 1970s that Douglas on Friday called "a great love story".
Director Steven Soderbergh said he chose to tell Liberace's story through the lens of his romance with Scott Thorson - a young man who walked into the singer's Las Vegas dressing room in the summer of 1977 - in part to expand public perception beyond his outsized personality and lavish lifestyle.
"I was very anxious that we not make a caricature of either of their characters or the relationship," Soderbergh told reporters at a meeting of the Television Critics Association.
"The discussions they're having are discussions every couple has. We take the relationship very seriously," he said.

First time the initiative is being extended to upper primary sections
Students of all government primary and upper primary schools across the State will soon have access to nearly 200 new books that are to be added to the collection of supplementary readers in school libraries.
The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) wing of the State is spending Rs.20 crore on this initiative, according to a senior official.
Speaking to The Hindu on Thursday, the official said that while the Centre sanctioned Rs.17 crore, the State pooled in the rest.
"We have been supplying books as part of the 'Puthaga Poongothu Thittam' for the last few years. This year, we want to take the initiative further and enrich the collection available for children," said the official.
Each primary school would receive a set of books worth Rs.3,000 and the upper primary sections receive books worth Rs.10,000. This is the first time that the initiative is being extended to upper primary sections. The readers will be in English and Tamil, with the Tamil readers covering concepts in science through stories, interactive activities and teasers.
Authored by teachers
All books have been written by teachers working in government schools, with illustrations by art teachers. The teachers involved in the writing and illustrations were trained by a team of experts who specialise in writing for children, as has been the practice in the last few years. In addition to this, a few books are being purchased from the National Book Trust.
Uma Raman, one of the resource persons who trained the teachers, said they were keen that the content was enjoyable and accessible, both in terms of the language and culture. "We got the teachers to decide on the themes and story ideas and then gave inputs on how to write these stories and how to have suitable illustrations made," she said.
Observing that too much text makes the content inaccessible, particularly when it is in an unfamiliar language, Ms. Raman, who worked with the team writing English supplementary readers, said: "For the upper primary children, we have a little more content compared to lower classes, but it is still easy and will have a lot of colourful illustrations and graphic elements to make it attractive."
Suchitra Ramkumar, who has been working with the team writing Tamil readers with scientific concepts, said they had tried to introduce concepts in science through stories.
"For instance, we have a story where the seed is asked, 'Where did you come from?'. The seed would say, 'I came from the ripe fruit.' The ripe fruit would say, 'I came from the raw fruit, which would say, 'I came from the flower'. – essentially tracing its origin to another seed."
The readers have been categorised into a series such as 'nature,' 'discoveries by children' and 'science in everyday life'. "We have documented how students got innovative. It would be interesting for children to read about how a student like them fished out his teacher's key using a magnet," said Ms.Ramkumar, who teaches at The School – KFI.
A lot of care has gone into aspects such as avoiding gender biases. The readers are in the final stages of editing and would be ready soon, officials said.

Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc., the molybdenum miner branching into copper and gold with its new Mt. Milligan project, said prices for the steel-strengthening mineral will rise in the first quarter of next year.
Thompson Creek Metals Co. may suspend production at its two molybdenum mines if the price of the steel-strengthening ingredient falls further.
HudBay Minerals Inc., the developer of the Constancia copper mine in Peru, isn't interested in Thompson Creek Metals Co. as it looks for possible acquisitions.
Thompson Creek Metals Co., a producer of molybdenum from mines in Canada and the U.S., fell the most in more than three years after saying it will sell debt and shares to finance completion of a project in British Columbia.
Thompson Creek Metals Co. , the operator of two molybdenum mines in North America, agreed to acquire Terrane Metals Corp. for about C$650 million ($623.5 million) to diversify into copper and gold.
Thompson Creek Metals Co. , the operator of two molybdenum mines in North America, rose the most in 17 months after a report that China is preparing to classify the metal as a so-called national mining resource.

Zimmer is a former LAUSD teacher.[2] He has served on the board of the Los Angeles Unified School District since first winning election in 2009.
Zimmer began his educational career in 1992 with Teach for America. He created Marshall's Public Service Program in 1995, requiring public service by every student, and founded Marshall's Multilingual Teacher Career Academy in 1998.[3]
Zimmer won re-election to the Los Angeles Unified School District Board, representing District 4 in 2013. Zimmer defeated Kate Anderson in the primary election on March 5, 2013. (Write-in candidate Jeneen Robinson withdrew prior to the election.) Zimmer received over half the number of votes for his district, enough to avoid competing in a runoff election on May 21, 2013.[4]

By February 12, 2013, Zimmer had raised $31,000, with the L.A. County Federation of Labor spending $30,000 on his behalf, and SEIU Local 99 spending $73,000.[16]
Campaign literature
During the 2013 campaign, Zimmer registered seven pieces of campaign literature with the City of Los Angeles City Ethics Commission. The literature included two emails, two mailers, two flyers, and one telephone script.[17]
Among independent expenditure groups, political action committees affiliated with the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor (AFL-CIO), Service Employees International Union (SEIU) 99, and United Teachers Los Angeles and the West Hollywood and Beverly Hills Democratic Clubs registered mailers, telephone scripts, flyers, and a TV ad script in support of Zimmer. The Coalition for School Reform registered mailers opposing Zimmer.[18]
Zimmer won election in the 2009 election to the District 4 seat on the Los Angeles Unified School District Board. He defeated Mike Stryer in the March 3, 2009, general election.[19]

Support of Superintendent Deasy
In February 2013, Zimmer said that he would vote to retain current Superintendent John Deasy, saying that the latter's continued tenure was a "critical issue" even as the two disagreed on implementing a teacher evaluation system.[20]
Public School Choice
In June 2009, Zimmer voted for Public School Choice, which allowed charters to bid for control of new LAUSD schools. Two years later, he defended his vote as a form of compromise in regards to "restarting schools," but said he regretted the program's application to new schools.[21]
Zimmer did not answer the five questions on issues prepared by the League of Women's Voters of Los Angeles in 2013.[22]
Arts for LA survey
Zimmer completed the 2013 candidate survey from Arts for LA, a group advocating greater investment in the arts. He asserted, "We need to have the courage to fight for the things in schooling that are real education. The arts is at the top of my list."[2]
DFER report card
The political action committee Democrats for Education Reform (DFER) issued a report card for Zimmer on February 14, 2013. Their grades were as follows:[23]
- Parent Choice and Quality Schools - C
- School District Transparency - A
- District Leadership - B
- Teacher Effectiveness and Quality - C
The full report card including explanations was made available here (dead link).
Candidate forum
On January 24, 2013, Zimmer and challenger Kate Anderson participated in a candidate forum, where they both gave statements and took questions.[24] The event was well-attended, with supporters on both sides present. A video of the entire event was posted on YouTube.[25] The LA School Report also wrote a text summary of the forum, which was made available via the LA School Report website.[26] Write-in candidate Jeneen Robinson was not invited to attend this forum.[27]
Open letter to Bloomberg
On February 14, 2013, Zimmer sent a critical open letter to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who donated $1 million to the Coalition for School Reform, a pro-charter group which endorsed Zimmer's opponent, Kate Anderson. In the letter, Zimmer criticized Bloomberg for a lack of communication. Zimmer argued that he put students above interest groups:[28]
I've fought for parent choice, expanded charters, baccalaureate curriculums, language immersion schools, and reforms for students learning English (LAUSD has the largest number of English Learners of any district in the country). At the same time, I've demanded accountability to ensure we are prioritizing students' needs instead of ideological agendas.
The full letter was posted here.
Loss of CSR support
In his 2009 campaign, unions and the Coalition for School Reform endorsed Zimmer. However, over the course of his term, he became viewed as more pro-union than pro-CSR, even though he did not fully back either group's agenda. The Jewish Journal published a 2011 profile of him and a 2013 article about the election campaign about Zimmer's experiences as a school board member.[29][30]

Russert Will Be Missed
By Deseret News editorial
If Americans weren't familiar with him before, all came to know NBC Washington bureau chief Tim Russert for his coverage of the 2000 presidential election. Instead of relying on high-tech computer- generated graphics on election night, Russert used a white dry eraser board to help explain the phenomena behind the dead-heat finish between Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Al Gore. He simply wrote, "Florida, Florida, Florida."
With the next presidential election less than six months away, it is difficult to imagine an election night without Russert. The moderator of NBC's "Meet the Press," Russert died Friday at work of an apparent heart attack at age 58.
He was a powerful and influential force in journalism and American politics. He was a tough interviewer but always polite. Some elected officials refused to go on "Meet the Press" for fear of the grilling they would receive. Those who appeared on the Sunday morning program have said surviving Russert's interviews enhanced their credibility. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, upon learning of Russert's death, said he was "the best in the business at keeping his interview subjects honest."
When Russert chose to write books, though, he wrote about fatherhood. The first book, "Big Russ and Me," published in 2004, was about his relationship with his father. The second was "Wisdom of Our Fathers," in 2006. Both were No. 1 on the New York Times best- seller list.
Proud of his Irish Catholic roots, Russert frequently spoke of his father and his blue-collar upbringing in Buffalo, N.Y. He also wore on his sleeve his love of his wife and his son Luke. He was a diehard fan of the Buffalo Bills, the New York Yankees and the Washington Nationals.
Moderator of "Meet the Press" since 1991, Russert was also a senior vice president at NBC. This past year, Time Magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world. The Washington Post credits Russert for coining the terms "red state" and "blue state."
He was a highly decorated journalist. He won an Emmy for his role in the coverage of President Ronald Reagan's funeral in 2004. He had dozens of honorary college degrees and numerous professional awards.
Indeed, the nation has lost one of its brightest lights in journalism and in politics who rose above competitors by doing his homework, treating people with respect and seeking the truth. These are the marks of a fine journalist and a fine man.

Much has been written and discussed on creating a proper thumbnail for your videos. We've discussed optimizing custom thumbnails before, but only recently did it become something everyone could do. Thumbnails are your "magazine covers," your initial impulse as to whether a viewer will be interested. They not only need to be enticing, though, they need to accurately describe what a viewer will see in the video, or at least not outright lie about it. Thumbnails are like content itself, where certain triggers: sexy, funny, outrageous, etc., will sell the video and get people clicking.
5 Tips for More Engaging YouTube Video Thumbnails
To review:
1. Make the Thumbnail Enticing. Be sure you create custom thumbnails that are interesting enough that you would want to click on it. This is you being objective about your work: would you want to watch this?
2. Select an Image with Action. You just standing there with a dull expression on your face won't do: you need something that expresses fun, and doing that involves capturing an image that shows action.
3. Choose an Image that Explains Your Video. Nothing gets people clicking "dislike" more, and causing your search results to go down, than showing say, a scantily-clad woman on your thumbnail and there's nothing about scantily-clad women in the video. Those are the kinds of videos you run across that have a long red line underneath the likes/dislikes.
4. Include Text on Your Image. Yes, action is important. But sometimes it doesn't quite sell someone on what the video is. Try to come up with a short phrase, hopefully three words or less, that describe the contents in an exciting way that you can plaster onto the image without obscuring the image. Here's a good one:
5. Choose an Image that Stands on It's Own. Similar to number three, you want an image that can give viewers a good idea what your video might be about even if you don't include text. This is important because when related videos come up at the end of a video, they won't include titles, so your image really needs to convey your topic.
QUESTION: What tips do you have for video thumbnails that drive more views?

I have three small hatches in my boat, one into each head and one over the galley. They are too small for anyone other than a very small child to get in. Leaving these open along with two Dorades keeps air circulating quite well.
Before we go off cruising I intend to make a stout stainless grid that fits into the wash-board slots so that we can leave that open too.
I find the biggest problem with leaving anything open on deck especially in the tropics is that it can rain torrents within a moments notice and if you're not on board . . . . . .
We met some people in San Diego with a magnificent Passport 47 who were in the islands and were at a pub ashore, left all their deck hatches open to combat the heat because they could see the boat from the restaurant. And then a deluge came and all they could do was sit and watch as their boat got drenched down below.

Transforming Downtown Peekskill (Using Food & Drink)
It won't be easy, but Louie Lanza thinks he might be up to the task.
The 411: A trading post-turned-industrial city that overlooks the Hudson River, Peekskill has spent most of the past 20 years recovering from an economic downturn that struck the city when much of its manufacturing base eroded. A revitalization has seen new, higher-tech businesses take root in the city and the renovation of the historic districts and Victorian homes that are its trademark. Peekskill offers top-notch public education.
