The university originally hoped to open at least two wings of the building, scheduled to house new freshmen, when classes start in August. Continuing weather, construction delays and some design problems early into the project have forced TTU to postpone the grand opening a couple of months.
"Several issues combined played havoc with our last phase of the project," said Roger Dickson, director of TTU's Residential LifeOffice. "Just a few weeks ago we were still hoping to finish on time. We knew the construction crews were running a bit behind, but they were hoping to have more dry days to catch up. Unfortunately, they did not have as many opportunities as we would have liked.
"The bottom line is, we don't want to sacrifice the quality our students deserve just to get it open by a certain deadline. Our students, our entire campus community, have waited a long time for this new building, and we want it right from the beginning."
Dickson also described some lingering completion issues that added to the delay.
"We saw some quality control issues we had to overcome. That's not meant as a criticism to the construction crew; we just had issues that needed to be corrected to better serve students in the long run. Once we could walk through the units, we saw that some changes needed to be made."
The state-of-the-art residence hall will feature double occupancy rooms with private baths, a multi-media room, a spacious grand lobby, three small study rooms, a large group study room, two social lounges, two elevators, life safety features and Americans with Disabilities Act accommodations.
Because the residence hall will house students 24 hours a day, seven days a week, its construction demands are much moreintense than other types of buildings. Many of the requirements to meet ADA and stringent fire codes add to the design and construction time.
All students, including those incoming freshmen assigned to the new building, will still have temporary housing in other residence halls on campus. Some upper classmen who expected private rooms will most likely be doubling-up with freshmen until the building is complete.
The extended construction time will not add any extra cost to the students.
"Despite the inconvenience, I think the students and university community will agree that the quality is worth the wait," Dickson said.

The Morning Federal Newscast is a daily compilation of the stories you hear Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Amy Morris discuss throughout the show each day. The Newscast is designed to give FederalNewsRadio.com users more information about the stories you hear on the air.
- Last week, the Office of Personnel Management announced plans for a new database to help control costs of the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. Now come the howls from privacy advocates. NextGov reports the Patient Privacy Rights group says OPM doesn't provide any details about how patient data will be stored or if indentifying information about patients will be removed.
- The Supreme Court heard the case of scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab who claimed government background checks violated their privacy. The New York Times reports, the tone of questions posed by the Justices makes it appear likely the scientists will lose their case. It all hinges on a 2005 anti-terrorism initiative requiring federal contractors to use detailed background checks. At issue is the scope of a 1977 ruling that said there is a constitutional right to informational privacy.
- The Department of Veterans Affairs is taking some new criticism of an effort to automate the processing of education benefits for veterans under the post-9/11 G-I Bill. The inspector general at VA says the program lacks effective cost and performance controls. FCW reports that among the IG's recommendations is one that VA set up an independent milestone review process to support decision making for the project. VA's IT office says it agrees with the findings and recommendations.
- The White House gears up to release final guidelines to help agencies inventory greenhouse gas emissions. In July, the Council on Environmental Quality released a draft with details on reporting requirements and methods for calculating emissions. GovExec reports that White House officials are still evaluating comments. All federal agencies must inventory their emissions by January 31st of 2011.
- The Interior Department has approved the first two solar projects on federal land. The two projects are in California's Imperial Valley and Chevron Lucerne Valley. Interior has several more projects under review, and says the solar farms will eventually provide thousands of clean energy jobs. Eventually they will provide electricity for thousands of homes. But both require long transmission lines that will cross animal habitats. Critics have said the administration has been taking too long to approve loan guarantees for the pending solar projects.
- Recovery.gov promised transparency on how the government spends every dollar of stimulus money. But there's $162 million that the website doesn't disclose. The Office of Management and Budget says that 352 contracts, grants and loans aren't included, because the groups that received that money haven't reported it.The White House has ordered a crackdown, which could include investigations for fraud and suspension from all future federal contracts. But enforcement is spotty and it isn't clear if its happening. A USA TODAY review of debarment actions finds only one non-reporting recipient suspended.
- GTSI says that its suspension from consideration for new government contracts is likely going to impact the company's operations, financial condition, and ability to remain a going concern. The Washington Business Journal reports that GTSI has vowed to fight the Small Business Administration suspension. SBA accuses GTSI of improperly receiving contracts that were intended for small businesses. But now the company says that it can't predict the results of the suspension and related investigation, which could lead to administrative, civil or criminal liabilities.
- The government is opening a new contracting program for small companies owned by women. The Small Business Administration has filed a final rule to create a set-aside program for those firms. The rule centers on 83 industries. And participants will be eligible for set-asides of less than $5 million for manufacturing contracts and less than $3 million for all others. GovExec reports the rule will appear in today's federal register. SBA will implement the program with 120 days.
- Remember the national take-back day for prescription drugs last month? The final tally is in. The Drug Enforcement Administration collected 121 tons of unused drugs from medicine cabinets through the country. And not just medicine cabinets. One man dragged a kitchen drawer full of unused drugs to a collection site. An Illinois woman brought subscriptions she's been saving for 50 years. DEA staged the collection to curb rising abuse of prescription drugs, which often fall into criminal hands. Acting DEA administrator Michele Leonhart called Take-Back day a stunning success.

Paul Bremer, Former Ambassador to Iraq
Maybe the United States was never really finished in Iraq. Regardless, events of the past two weeks have returned that nation to a front and center position for Congress and the administration. Paul Bremer was U.S. Presidential envoy to Iraq in 2003 and 2004. A career diplomat, he was thrust into the spotlight as temporary head of the Iraqi government after the fall of Saddam Hussein. Most of the questions this week have been about military options now that the government is under threat. Bremer joined Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to discuss how this situation affects the State Department both here and in Baghdad.

My thoughts of Daytona this year has Finally got the best of me....it use to be a "race your way in" evento but more and more each year all u have to do is drive for someone with a championship or owners points and u are in.....for example: If Danica Patrick didnt drive for Tonta Stewart, she would not be in the race Because she crashed in the qualifier. And the big problem is that she is using Stewarts owner points. I dont agree with it. I BIOS she wrecks on the first lap. Not bc she is a female, or bc she is a rookie, only bc she didnt race her way in ....i am sure she is not the only one, but she is the only one that NASCAR already said they will make everyone effort to get her in everyon… [more]

National Organizations Unveil First-Ever Pledge to Prevent Latino Teen Pregnancy
Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard and Dr. Drew Pinsky, host of Loveline and MTV's Teen Mom and Sixteen and Pregnant, support groups' teen pregnancy prevention efforts
WASHINGTON, June 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — In a first-of-its-kind effort, national and local organizations that serve large numbers of Latino youth pledged to mobilize the Latino community to prevent teen pregnancy. The National Consensus Statement on Latino Teen Pregnancy Prevention, collaboratively developed by NCLR (National Council of La Raza), the largest national Latino civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States, The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, and other organizations, identifies strategies and solutions to address the high rates of teen pregnancy in the Latino community.
"Research shows that 52% of Latinas will become pregnant before the age of 20, which can lead to serious consequences for their future," said Dr. Maria E. Rosa, Vice President of NCLR's Institute for Hispanic Health. "When a Latina teen becomes pregnant, this impacts her chances of graduating high school, having a successful career, and improving her socioeconomic status. This is unacceptable."
The Consensus Statement caught the attention of Dr. Drew Pinsky, host of Loveline and MTV's Teen Mom and Sixteen and Pregnant. "Communication is paramount to preventing teen pregnancy. In my work, I encourage parents and adults to engage teens in open dialogue about their sexual and emotional health," said Dr. Drew. "This Consensus Statement outlines the support that parents and teens need to engage in those conversations and make healthy decisions. The convening of organizations to create the Consensus Statement demonstrates the acknowledgment of how serious an issue teen pregnancy is. It is my hope that practitioners and policymakers take note and act."
"The good news is that rates of teen pregnancy and childbearing in the Latino community have declined dramatically over the past two decades, showing that progress is possible on a challenging social issue," said Ruthie Flores, Senior Manager of The National Campaign's Latino Initiative. "The bad news is that these impressive declines have stalled out in recent years. This new effort focusing on too-early pregnancy and childbearing in the Latino community could not be timelier."
"I commend this collaborative national effort to reduce teen pregnancies in the Latino community," said Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA), author of the "Communities of Color Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Act of 2010," a bill that supports research and health education programs to help young women understand the long-term consequences of childbearing at a young age. "While addressing teen sexual behavior is complex, an effective strategy to reduce teen pregnancy in minority communities involves sexual health education that takes into consideration cultural and linguistic differences. With the right balance of education and support, we can, as a nation, do a much better job of reducing unintended teen pregnancies in minority communities."
The Consensus Statement will serve as a tool to unite national and local Latino-serving institutions to actively promote research, programs, and policies that are necessary to creating an environment that will lead to a sustainable reduction of Latino teen pregnancy. "NCLR is extremely proud that Latino leaders and youth organizations have agreed to open the dialogue on teen pregnancy and prevention so that our teens and our community can achieve their full potential," concluded Dr. Rosa.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to PROTECT YOURSELF from those who LIE with numbers,
Stephen Pletko "Uncle Stevie" (London, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Proofiness: The Dark Arts of Mathematical Deception (Hardcover)
"Our society is now awash in proofiness. Using a few powerful techniques, thousands of people are crafting mathematical falsehoods to get you to swallow untruths. Advertisers forge numbers to get you to buy their products. Politicians fiddle with data to try to get you to re-elect them. Pundits and prophets use phoney math to get you to believe predictions that never seem to pan out. Business [people] use bogus numerical arguments to steal your money. Pollsters, pretending to listen to what you have to say, use proofiness to tell you what they want you to believe."
The above comes from the introduction of this very practical book by Charles Seife. He is an American author, journalist, and professor. Seife has written for the scientific community. He is a member of the National Association of Science Writers.
So, what the heck is proofiness? It is "the art of using bogus mathematical arguments to prove something that you know in your heart is true--even when it's not." Seife tells us how to identify proofiness.
Seife is angry about all the ways that numbers are being twisted to erode our democracy. We're used to being lied with words. (Just ask any politician.) But numbers? They're sacred and the best kind of facts we have. And that's precisely why, Seife argues, they can be so powerfully and persuasively misleading.
In the middle of the book are twenty black and white pictures. I found these interesting.
There is also three appendices for those wanting more information. I found these to be well-written.
Finally, why is it so important to identify proofiness? Seife tells us:
"Once you know the methods people use to turn numbers into falsehoods, they are powerless against you...Understand proofiness and you can uncover many truths that had been obscured by a haze of lies."
In conclusion, this is a very practical book. And it's more than a math book; it's an eye-opening civics lesson!!

4.0 out of 5 stars An Engaging Look at Mathematical Hoodwinking,
G. Poirier (Orleans, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Proofiness: The Dark Arts of Mathematical Deception (Hardcover)
I've previously read a couple of this author's books and thoroughly enjoyed them. So, when I found this one, I did not hesitate to buy it - despite the less than positive reviews that it had been getting. Now, having read it, I can assert that I've enjoyed the one too - but with a small caveat.
The book's main text comprises an introduction and eight chapters totalling 242 pages. The positive side: Using many real-life examples, the author guides the reader through various ways in which numbers and data can be used to mislead. Some chapters focus on a variety of situations in different fields while others focus on one general theme. Of the book's eight chapters, as many as three concentrate on matters related to the electoral system (108 pages - 45% - of the book's main text): pre-election polls, the counting of votes and various ways of cheating - perhaps a bit much on one general issue, but still quite interesting. The down side: On the subject of elections, I feel that too much space has been devoted to the Minnesota Coleman-versus-Franken election of 2008 and the Florida Bush-versus-Gore election of 2000. In my opinion, discussions on these two elections were way overdone and should have been significantly abbreviated in favour of new topics. But despite this minor yet annoying shortcoming, this book does contain loads of fascinating information presented by a master raconteur.
You can't go wrong with this author's writing style. He has the knack for explaining potentially complex issues in a clear, friendly, lively, concise, witty and very captivating way. This work is yet another contribution to the ever growing library of books aiming at educating the public on how numbers, data and statistics can be (and have been) used to mislead and manipulate. Those interested in such matters should have a field day through reading this book.
4.0 out of 5 stars but it was a good read and entertaining,

Silhouette Cameo 101: How to Clean a Silhouette Cameo Blade (Tutorial)
The first thing to note is there are two different styles of Silhouette Cameo blades. Let's take a closer look...
Clean out anything on the inside and then you can just twist it right back on. Blade #1 is the newer style of blade and I am so happy that Silhouette created this new design, it is so much easier to open!
Blade #2 is a little tricker.
Next, you'll want to continue to turn counter clock wise towards the 10, then the 9 and so on. It might be a little hard to do it at first, but you will not break your blade doing this. NOTE: you should not need to grab the pliers! If it's not "giving" - you may want to try with another blade. If you are really forcing it, it might not be able to be opened this way! As you twist, you'll start to see a gap (you'll notice it around 5 or 6).
Now that you have your blade open, you can clean it out! To put the blade back together, you'll want to line up the little black bumps on the blade base piece with the channels on the top piece and push it back together. You'll need your ratchet cap again, just twist the top clockwise until the blade is back together. You will need to push it together and should hear a little click.
Not too bad right?! Of course we have Silhouette blades on our website, but we also have Silhouette's full line of products too! Check out our Silhouette category here!
Oh! In case you were wondering, these Silhouette blades are universal so you can use them in all Silhouette electronic cutting tools, not just the Cameo!
Happy crafting!

Thanks for a very helpful & timely tip as I have just recently been experiencing problems with my blade (after cutting miles of vinyl!). I bet it is time for a cleaning!ReplyDelete
I hope this tip helped you Lee! It's amazing how much stuff gets built up inside the blade. If you have been cutting a lot of vinyl, you might want to also wipe the blade down with some sort of goo remover to get rid of any residue!Delete
Muito obrigada pela dica ;)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 3, 2014 at 7:12 PM
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have been trying to figure out the best way and was afraid to damage the blade. The inside was filled with paper bits!!! It should work smoother now and now that I know it is so easy, I will clean it more often. You have made it easier for many of us I am sure.ReplyDelete

Long story short, my twin brother went through a very nasty divorce and one of my college buddies decided that the best medicine for his ailments was a get together of all of our friends from college to build a bunch of romanian G rifles. We'd always talked about doing it, so we finally got the motivation.
I joined this forum and learned everything I could about building these glorious rifles. Did a build party and got 5 rifles built. My rifle needs some work still (rear rivets were too short so I need to redo them) but they all fired and their headspace checked out great. All of the rifles have bolt-to-hammer clearance issues which have been fixed easily by simple filing. You can see how all of them hesitate sometimes. This also was due to the single hook 'slot' in the receiver binding with the tapco trigger groups... it required some filing and polishing, too. We all used nodakspud receivers and akparts.com romy g kits.
The kits weren't as cheap as they used to be in the past, and we could have bought complete rifles probably cheaper (especially with the tool investment) but we did this mostly for the comradery and experience. It made my brother's life a lot happier.

King Arthur Abraham and Carl The Cobra Froch will not only be fighting for a spot in the Super Six World Boxing Classic Semi-Finals when they clash in Helsinki on November 27. Following an appeal from Team Sauerland, the WBC ruled that the vacant WBC Super-Middleweight Title will also be at stake. That is fantastic news, King Arthur said. It is like a dream coming true for me. Ever since I vacated my IBF Middleweight Title to battle it out with the world´s best fighters at Super-Middleweight, it has been my goal to become champion again. The moment has finally arrived. I am very excited and I cannot wait to get into the ring with Froch..
The Super Six tournament has already seen the crowning of two new champions. In November, Andre Ward dethroned then-WBA-Titlist Mikkel Kessler. The Viking Warrior bounced back with a spectacular victory over WBC-Champion Carl Froch. When an eye injury forced Kessler to withdraw from the tournament in August, he was elevated to Champion Emeritus by the WBC, granting him the right to face the champion on his return. Ward and Dirrell were to fight for the vacant WBC title, but Team Sauerland successfully protested the decision, meaning that Abraham and Froch will now determine the new WBC Super-Middleweight Champion when they collide at Helsinki´s famous Hartwall Areena. We welcome the WBC´s decision, said Chris Meyer, General Manager of Team Sauerland. We are very happy for King Arthur. On November 27, he will finally be world champion again.

This is one smart dog. He figures out how to turn the faucet on, even after his guardian turns it off. Even better for the dog, he learns that water comes out of it. Now he has a new place to get a drink in the bathroom.

That is hilarious. I love how he finally put his paw on the faucet and wouldn't move it. He knew his owner couldn't shut off his water supply if he did that.
Thank you to all who love the animals and the planet, and who already signed the petition to protect horses from Pétropolis, if no, please help give an happy end to the sad story of those enslaved animals, and share these petitions :
♞ Care 2 - and - ♞ PeticaoPublica.com
And now you can help the sanctuary that is home to farm animals, victims of exploitation, of abuse, and all kinds of cruelty. Some comes from Pétropolis some from other places around this city. Today there are 150 lucky animals, please give, for keeping them and to rescue other ones.
♥ Fairy sanctuary - or - ♥ Doe
Thank you for sharing
That's one smart dog.
Funny, loved the way he kept his paw on the tap so she could not turn it off again.
Now they have to keep bathroom door closed all the time, or maybe he can turn the tap off too.
Is the water clean enough?
I love it! Thank you!
Now if he'd only brush his teeth and gargle =)
Smarty! Thank you for sharing)
Merideth: Lighten Up! This is running water, not a human and dog sharing a water glass or drinking out of each others mouths, which would probably be worse for the dog than the human. As far as wasting water, unless you are on well water your water supply is recycled back to your local water treatment facility and then funneled back to your home. Also, there are other types of faucets that the dog would be unable to turn on, not to mention the fact that you can always keep the bathroom door closed so he can't get in there on his own and we didn't see him finish his drink. He may very well turn off the faucet when he is finished, as he would have seen his humans do when it is their turn to use the sink. Children are far worse germ carriers and spreaders than dogs and I won't even get into water fountains or even water coolers as far as germ spreading goes. Like I said at the beginning, Lighten Up!

The threshold dollar amount for when private and public employers and insurers are required to report payments to Medicare enrollees pursuant to settlements and judgments has been lowered from $5,000 to $2,000, and will decrease again to $300 on October 1, 2015. As we have reported previously, Medicare requires reporting of any settlement with a Medicare enrollee which contains a general release of all claims, including employment settlements and severance agreements, even if there are no claimed medical expenses or damages. The penalty for failing to timely report can be $1,000 per day per claim, and for most employers, the payment must be reported online within 45 days of the settlement or severance. For more information about registering for online reporting and about the reporting obligation, please visit CMS's website.

Stephanie Miller | August 18, 2010 | Comments
Social marketing has changed customer expectations and set the stage for deeper subscriber engagement. E-mail marketers who want to succeed need to step up.
Social marketing may just be the best thing to happen to e-mail marketers yet. No, the irony of that statement isn't lost on me. Social marketing is just the latest in the long line of things that are supposed to be killing e-mail marketing. Spam was first, but didn't succeed. Then came RSS, blogs, social networks, and even youth. E-mail remains a very viable marketing channel.
Viable, but not invincible. E-mail marketing is on high alert to remain healthy – and social marketing is calling that to our attention. The "doctor" – personified in our own intelligence, response data trends, and cautions from our deliverability consultants – has been telling us for years that unless we change our lifestyle and approach, we will churn our file, depress sender reputation and inbox placement rates, and lose the ability to engage with subscribers over e-mail. In fact, despite improvements in infrastructure, advanced data integration, and improved transparency for sender reputation, e-mail marketing messages get blocked by spam filters at nearly the same rate as five years ago. About 20 percent of legitimate e-mail marketing around the globe never reaches the inbox, according to my company's global benchmark report issued earlier this year. I believe this is due to the fact that e-mail messages are not becoming more relevant, despite the technology that automates much of it. That points the finger directly at marketers' content and contact strategies.
It's hard to change old habits when we feel healthy. For marketers doing only the simple math, all those generic broadcast e-mail messages still generate a lot of revenue – despite the fact that most subscribers delete most messages unread. The fact that response is from a smaller and smaller subset of subscribers gets lost in the glee over the quick results and high ROI (define).
Marketers know there is a better way to connect with subscribers, and we know we have access to simple segmentation and data management to create more compelling subscriber experiences. We just don't.
This is partly because it's more work and not trivial in terms of time, knowledge, access to data, or budget. It can be exhausting to be the e-mail marketer. There are high expectations, a low budget, and minimal support. But mostly, businesses don't bother to fix what seems to be only a little bit broken.
Along comes social marketing. The buzz is all about conversations, individual opinions, and the wisdom of crowds. Customers and prospects are empowered to participate in public chatter about our brands – with or without us. They are emboldened by this direct access and enjoy projecting their voice. So much so, that they now disdain to engage or participate in any marketing-created content that isn't a trusted, enjoyable, and rewarding experience.
Like so much of our e-mail marketing.
Ouch. Now we start to feel the pain as we watch response rates stagnate and witness fewer customers willing to give up their primary e-mail address. We see sender reputation fluctuate and complaints (clicks on the Report Spam button) rise. We start to think that maybe there really is some urgency to engage subscribers.
Social marketing has changed customer expectations and set the stage for deeper subscriber engagement – and e-mail marketers who want to succeed in the long term are stepping up. E-mail messages win when they provide helpful, relevant, and interactive content. The other stuff gets ignored from fatigue or swept away via new inbox management tools provided by mailbox providers. (Read about the ultra-managed inbox in my previous column.)
I think this wake up call is great news for e-mail marketers – and subscribers. The socially connected Internet makes it imperative that we give our e-mail programs a quick physical check up.
There is nothing more frustrating than to have a doctor tell us, "If only you'd addressed this years ago." Don't let that happen to your e-mail program. Keep it strong and viable – by sending the kind of e-mail messages that connect with subscribers and earn their way to the inbox, every time.
How has the pressure from the socially connected marketplace influenced your e-mail marketing approach and success? Let me know what you think and please share any ideas or comments below.

Critical Essay by Stephen M. Wheeler
SOURCE: Wheeler, Stephen M. "Ovid's Use of Lucretius in Metamorphoses 1.67-8." Classical Quarterly 45 (n.s.) (1995): 200-03.
In the following essay, Wheeler argues that Ovid's description of the winds in the Metamorphoses as ungoverned by a controlling power is drawn from Lucretius' De Rerum Natura, and is in opposition to Vergil's view in the Aeneid that Jupiter controls elemental forces.
haec super inposuit liquidum et gravitate carentem aethera nec quicquam terrenae faecis habentem.
(Ovid, Met. 1.67-8)
Here Ovid treats the demiurge's disposition of weightless aether over the other elements.1 This section of the cosmogony follows one that is devoted to the sphere of aer (52-66) where the creator settles the turbulent winds and other threatening meteorological phenomena. Recently Denis Feeney has suggested that Ovid's demiurge 'does not act in a very epic manner...

Does 'Blurred Lines' Sound Like 'Got To Give It Up'? [AUDIO+VIDEO]
The verdict is in...but is it right?
The verdict is in...but is it right?
Bad news for Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke's bank account. They'll be forced to pay $7.3 million to Marvin Gaye's family for copying his hit "Got to Give Up" for their song "Blurred Lines."
Bad news for Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams, who lost the first round of rulings in the 'Blurred Lines' case.
It looks like Gwen Stefani is ready to make her solo comeback eight years after 'The Sweet Escape' was released.
This is a must see for all Bangor residents!
One Direction fans have had their sights set on a collaboration with Pharrell Williams ever since Liam Payne was spotted hanging out with Pharrell last summer. Now, the 'Get Lucky' singer is inciting that hope once again.
NBC has released the first teaser promo for 'The Voice' Season 7, which will debut on Sept. 22, and we have our first look at Gwen Stefani and Pharrell joining Adam Levine and Blake Shelton on the judges panel.
Belfast rocks!
Pharrell Williams and his trusty Mounties-style caps are surrounded by a bunch of beauties in his video for 'Marilyn Monroe.' Seriously, the video is populated by some majorly stunning female specimens. They all have their own unique looks, styles and features, but one thing is for sure. They all look good.

- 1514 --- Copernicus made his first observations of Saturn.
- 1607 --- An expedition of English colonists went ashore at Cape Henry, Va., to establish the first permanent English settlement in the Western Hemisphere. (They later settled at Jamestown.)
- 1819 --- The first Odd Fellows lodge in the U.S. was established in Baltimore, Maryland. The official name of the organization is the Independent Order (of) Odd Fellows or IOOF. You can see these initials on many buildings in communities throughout the country. These are the Odd Fellows halls where the local, secret fraternal benefit meets. The first Odd Fellows group started in Great Britain in the 18th century. The main focus of the fraternal order is "to relieve the brethren, bury the dead, and care for the widow and the orphan." This focus has been broadened through the years to include the principles of friendship, love and truth. The Odd Fellows maintain homes for the aged, the poor, widows and orphans and provide members with financial aid in sickness or death. U.S. national headquarters are located in Baltimore, MD and the membership of the order is more than 1.5 million.
- 1865 --- John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln, was surrounded and killed by federal troops near Bowling Green, Va.
- 1877 --- Minnesota held a state day of prayer to plead for an end to a 4 year plague of Rocky Mountain locusts. In southwestern Minnesota, locusts had been eating crops, trees, tobacco, fence posts, leather, dead animals, sheep's wool - everything but the mortgage. Two days later a snowstorm moved through and the locusts were never seen again. No one knows what caused the locust plague, nor why the Rocky Mountain locust became extinct after the plague.
- 1921 --- Weather broadcasts were heard for the first time on radio when WEW in St. Louis, MO aired weather news. Weather forecasts continue to be the top reason why people listen to radio; rating higher than music, news, sports and commercials!
- 1937 --- During the Spanish Civil War, the German military tests its powerful new air force--the Luftwaffe--on the Basque town of Guernica in northern Spain. Although the independence-minded Basque region opposed General Francisco Franco's Nationalist forces in the Spanish Civil War, Guernica itself was a small rural city of only 5,000 inhabitants that declared nonbelligerence in the conflict. With Franco's approval, the cutting-edge German aircraft began their unprovoked attack at 4:30 p.m., the busiest hour of the market day in Guernica. For three hours, the German planes poured down a continuous and unopposed rain of bombs and gunfire on the town and surrounding countryside. One-third of Guernica's 5,000 inhabitants were killed or wounded, and fires engulfed the city and burned for days. The indiscriminate killing of civilians at Guernica aroused world opinion and became a symbol of fascist brutality. Unfortunately, by 1942, all major participants in World War II had adopted the bombing innovations developed by the Nazis at Guernica, and by the war's end, in 1945, millions of innocent civilians had perished under Allied and Axis air raids.
- 1954 --- The Salk polio vaccine field trials, involving 1.8 million children, begin at the Franklin Sherman Elementary School in McLean, Virginia. Children in the United States, Canada and Finland participated in the trials, which used for the first time the now-standard double-blind method, whereby neither the patient nor attending doctor knew if the inoculation was the vaccine or a placebo. On April 12, 1955, researchers announced the vaccine was safe and effective and it quickly became a standard part of childhood immunizations in America. In the ensuing decades, polio vaccines would all but wipe out the highly contagious disease in the Western Hemisphere.
- 1961 --- New York Yankee Roger Maris hit the first of a then-record 61 home runs in a single season.
- 1964 --- The Boston Celtics won their sixth straight NBA title. They would win two more before the streak came to an end.
- 1986 --- The world's worst nuclear accident to date occurs at the Chernobyl nuclear plant near Kiev in Ukraine. The full toll from this disaster is still being tallied, but experts believe that thousands of people died and as many as 70,000 suffered severe poisoning. In addition, a large area of land may not be livable for as much as 150 years. The 18-mile radius around Chernobyl was home to almost 150,000 people who had to be permanently relocated. The Soviet Union built the Chernobyl plant, which had four 1,000-megawatt reactors, in the town of Pripyat. At the time of the explosion, it was one of the largest and oldest nuclear power plants in the world. The explosion and subsequent meltdown of one reactor was a catastrophic event that directly affected hundreds of thousands of people. Still, the Soviet government kept its own people and the rest of the world in the dark about the accident until days later. At first, the Soviet government only asked for advice on how to fight graphite fires and acknowledged the death of two people. It soon became apparent, however, that the Soviets were covering up a major accident and had ignored their responsibility to warn both their own people and surrounding nations. Two days after the explosion, Swedish authorities began measuring dangerously high levels of radioactivity in their atmosphere. Years later, the full story was finally released. Workers at the plant were performing tests on the system. They shut off the emergency safety systems and the cooling system, against established regulations, in preparation for the tests. Even when warning signs of dangerous overheating began to appear, the workers failed to stop the test. Xenon gases built up and at 1:23 a.m. the first explosion rocked the reactor. A total of three explosions eventually blew the 1,000-ton steel top right off of the reactor. A huge fireball erupted into the sky. Flames shot 1,000 feet into the air for two days, as the entire reactor began to melt down. Radioactive material was thrown into the air like fireworks. Although firefighting was futile, Pripyat's 40,000 people were not evacuated until 36 hours after the explosion. Potentially lethal rain fell as the fires continued for eight days. Dikes were built at the Pripyat River to contain damage from contaminated water run-off and the people of Kiev were warned to stay indoors as a radioactive cloud headed their way. On May 9, workers began encasing the reactor in concrete. Later, Hans Blix of the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that approximately 200 people were directly exposed and that 31 had died immediately at Chernobyl. The clean-up effort and the general radioactive exposure in the region, however, would prove to be even more deadly. Some reports estimate that as many as 4,000 clean-up workers died from radiation poisoning. Birth defects among people living in the area have increased dramatically. Thyroid cancer has increased tenfold in Ukraine since the accident.

Shawnee is an unincorporated community and a U.S. Post Office located in northern Park County, Colorado, United States. Shawnee is situated in the Platte Canyon, along the North Fork South Platte River, west of Bailey on U.S. Highway 285.
The Shawnee Post Office has the ZIP Code 80475.[2]
Shawnee consists largely of a general store and post office, and well as surrounding houses, on the hillside south of the highway overlooking the river valley.
In 1886, James W. Price homesteaded here and in 1889 built the Grandview Hotel. In 1900 he and the Colo. & Southern Railway developed Shawnee and built the Shawnee Lodge which burned in 1929. In 1900, Price built the Shawnee Mercantile Co. Store and moved the Slaght's Post Office to Shawnee. W.H."Harry" Price, J.W. Price's son, became Shawnee Postmaster in 1900, serving until 1940.
The Shawnee Cemetery was established in 1895, settler families of Tyler, Bonnifield, and Price have been interred. Civil War Union veteran, Private Wm. A. Bonnifield rests there. Prior valley history includes: Ute hunting ground, a route to South Park's 1859-60's Gold rush and route of the 1878 Denver, South Park and Pacific narrow-gauge railroad. Homesteaders Azel & Alice Slaght arrived in 1859-61. Long known as "Slaght's Valley", Slaght's Ranch, located a mile to the east, was also called: Granite Vale Post Office, 1861–70; Slaght's Stagestop, 1862–78; Fairville Post Office & Townsite, 1878–82; Slaght's Post Office, 1882-1900.
Shawnee became a popular summer resort as the slow meandering river was great for fishing. The local economy was tourism, ranching, farming, logging and winter jobs at the Maddox Ice Co. which vanished with the Railroad in 1937. The Shawnee Water Consumer's Association was formed in 1929 by C.O. Cook, W.W. Garwood and Roger D. Knight.
Businesses in Shawnee as of 2012 are tourist oriented including the North Fork Dude Ranch, Boxwood Gulch fishing ranch, Shawnee Tea Room, and the Shawnee Mountain Arts and Crafts Gallery.
Shawnee is located at 39°25′12″N 105°33′06″W / 39.42000°N 105.55167°W (39.420017,-105.551662).

Biography All Music GuideWikipedia
All Music Guide:
Ben Webster was considered one of the "big three" of swing tenors along with Coleman Hawkins (his main influence) and Lester Young. He had a tough, raspy, and brutal tone on stomps (with his own distinctive growls) yet on ballads he would turn into a pussy cat and play with warmth and sentiment. After violin lessons as a child, Webster learned how to play rudimentary piano (his neighbor Pete Johnson taught him to play blues). But after Budd Johnson showed him some basics on the saxophone, Webster played sax in the Young Family Band (which at the time included Lester Young). He had stints with Jap Allen and Blanche Calloway (making his recording debut with the latter) before joining Bennie Moten's Orchestra in time to be one of the stars on a classic session in 1932. Webster spent time with quite a few orchestras in the 1930s (including Andy Kirk, Fletcher Henderson in 1934, Benny Carter, Willie Bryant, Cab Calloway, and the short-lived Teddy Wilson big band).
In 1940 (after short stints in 1935 and 1936), Ben Webster became Duke Ellington's first major tenor soloist. During the next three years he was on many famous recordings, including "Cotton Tail" (which in addition to his memorable solo had a saxophone ensemble arranged by Webster) and "All Too Soon." After leaving Ellington in 1943 (he would return for a time in 1948-1949), Webster worked on 52nd Street; recorded frequently as both a leader and a sideman; had short periods with Raymond Scott, John Kirby, and Sid Catlett; and toured with Jazz at the Philharmonic during several seasons in the 1950s. Although his sound was considered out-of-style by that decade, Webster's work on ballads became quite popular and Norman Granz recorded him on many memorable sessions. Webster recorded a classic set with Art Tatum and generally worked steadily, but in 1964 he moved permanently to Copenhagen where he played when he pleased during his last decade. Although not all that flexible, Webster could swing with the best and his tone was a later influence on such diverse players as Archie Shepp, Lew Tabackin, Scott Hamilton, and Bennie Wallace.
Wikipedia:For other people named Ben Webster, see Ben Webster (disambiguation).
Benjamin Francis Webster (March 27, 1909 – September 20, 1973), a.k.a. "The Brute" or "Frog", was an influential American jazz tenor saxophonist. Webster, born in Kansas City, Missouri, is considered one of the three most important "swing tenors" along with Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young. Known affectionately as "The Brute", he had a tough, raspy, and brutal tone on stomps (with his own distinctive growls), yet on ballads he played with warmth and sentiment. Stylistically he was indebted to alto star Johnny Hodges, who, he said, taught him to play his instrument.^ liner notes by Billy James taken from the 1962 recording Ben and "Sweets" CBS 460613
Early life and career[edit]
Webster learned to play piano and violin at an early age before learning to play the saxophone, although he did return to the piano from time to time, even recording on the instrument occasionally. Once Budd Johnson showed him some basics on the saxophone, Webster began to play that instrument in the Young Family Band (which at the time included Lester Young). Kansas City at this point was a melting pot from which emerged some of the biggest names in 1930s jazz. Webster joined Bennie Moten's legendary 1932 band, which also included Count Basie, Oran "Hot Lips" Page and Walter Page. This era was recreated in Robert Altman's film Kansas City.
Webster spent time with quite a few orchestras in the 1930s, including Andy Kirk, the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra in 1934, then Benny Carter, Willie Bryant, Cab Calloway, and the short-lived Teddy Wilson big band.
With Ellington[edit]
Ben Webster played with Duke Ellington's orchestra for the first time in 1935, and by 1940 had become its first major tenor soloist. He credited Johnny Hodges, Ellington's alto soloist, as a major influence on his playing. During the next three years, he played on many famous recordings, including "Cotton Tail" and "All Too Soon"; his contribution (together with that of bassist Jimmy Blanton) was so important that Ellington's orchestra during that period is known as the Blanton–Webster band. Webster left the band in 1943 after an angry altercation during which he allegedly cut up one of Ellington's suits.. In an interview with the Newark Star-Ledger in 2003, trumpeter Clark Terry claimed that Webster left Ellington because he slapped Duke, after which he was given his two-weeks notice.
After Ellington[edit]
After leaving Ellington in 1943, Webster worked on 52nd Street in New York City; he recorded frequently as both a leader and a sideman and had short periods with Raymond Scott, John Kirby, and Sid Catlett, as well as with Jay McShann's band, which also featured blues shouter Jimmy Witherspoon. For a few months in 1948, he returned briefly to Ellington's orchestra.
In 1953, he recorded King of the Tenors with pianist Oscar Peterson, who would be an important collaborator with Webster throughout the decade. Along with Peterson, trumpeter Harry 'Sweets' Edison and others, he was touring and recording with Norman Granz's Jazz at the Philharmonic organisation. Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster with fellow tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins was recorded on December 16, 1957, along with Peterson, Herb Ellis (guitar), Ray Brown (bass), and Alvin Stoller (drums). The Hawkins and Webster recording is a jazz classic, the coming together of two giants of the tenor saxophone, who had first met back in Kansas City.
In 1956, he recorded a classic set with pianist Art Tatum, supported by bassist Red Callender and drummer Bill Douglass.
In the late 1950s, he formed a quintet with Gerry Mulligan and played frequently at a Los Angeles club called Renaissance. It was there that the Webster-Mulligan group backed up blues singer Jimmy Witherspoon on an album recorded live. <Bob Porter, "Portraits in Blue," broadcast August 2, 2014 on WBGO radio.ref>
The final decade, in Europe[edit]
Webster generally worked steadily, but in 1964 he moved permanently to Europe, joining other American jazz musicians there. He played when he pleased during his last decade. He lived in London for one year, followed by four years in Amsterdam and made his last home in Copenhagen in 1969. Webster appeared as a sax player in a low-rent cabaret club in the 1970 Danish blue film titled Quiet Days in Clichy. In 1971, Webster reunited with Duke Ellington and his big band for a couple of shows at the Tivoli Gardens in Denmark; in addition, he also recorded "live" in France with Earl Hines. He also recorded or performed with Buck Clayton, Bill Coleman and Teddy Wilson.^ LP issued as Hines's Tune in France with Don Byas, Roy Eldridge, Stuff Smith, Kenny Clarke & Jimmy Woode
Webster suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in Amsterdam in September 1973, following a performance at the Twee Spieghels in Leiden, and died on the 20th. His body was cremated in Copenhagen and his ashes were buried in the Assistens Cemetery in the Nørrebro section of the city. Although not all that flexible or modern, remaining rooted in the blues and swing-era ballads, Webster could swing with the best and his tone was a later influence on such diverse players as Archie Shepp, Lew Tabackin, Scott Hamilton, David Murray, and Bennie Wallace.
After Webster's death, Billy Moore Jr., together with the trustee of Webster's estate, created the Ben Webster Foundation. Since Webster's only legal heir, Harley Robinson of Los Angeles, gladly assigned his rights to the foundation, the Ben Webster Foundation was confirmed by the Queen of Denmark's Seal in 1976. In the Foundation's trust deed, one of the initial paragraphs reads: "to support the dissemination of jazz in Denmark". The trust is a beneficial foundation which channels Webster's annual royalties to musicians in both Denmark and the U.S. An annual Ben Webster Prize is awarded to a young outstanding musician. The prize is not large, but is considered highly prestigious. Over the years, several American musicians have visited Denmark with the help of the Foundation, and concerts, a few recordings, and other jazz-related events have been supported.
Webster's private collection of jazz recordings and memorabilia is archived in the jazz collections at the University Library of Southern Denmark, Odense.
Ben Webster has a street named after him in southern Copenhagen, "Ben Websters Vej".

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Queen size bed in this luxurious 1 bedroom apt overlooking NYC skyline, east river and the Williamsburg bridge. Brand new apartment featuring hardwood floors , stainless appliances stone counter-tops. Park-like outdoor space with the same awesome views.Flat screen TV with free WiFi. Laundry on premises.Fitness center and game room as well. Hotels charge over $400 per night for what we offer here, and they give you less. A short walk gets you on the subway one stop away from Manhattan on either the jmz or the l subway line. This waterfront street combines the old with the new and you wont be disappointed. We are a short walk to Bedford ave, the heart and soul of Williamsburg and all the cafes , restaurants and nightlife.
The apartment is beautiful the view is amazing! Thank you for being so accommodating! - i will definitely be back real soon!
For exploring NYC Williamsburg is a great place to stay. The apartment is wonderful (not only the fantastic view). We will come back asap ;-) Thx
Amazing view, great building, very safe, friendly people and staff. Grocery store right around the corner. Area has everything you need at your fingertips. And apartment very comfortable. Can't wait to go back!!!!
This place ruled. Not only is the view amazing, the entire place is clean to the bone and very cozy-felt like I was staying at my own house. It's close to the Marcy train for easy access to Manhattan and there are several good places to grub near by. I would definitely stay again!
Everything was great here. The apartment is just as you can see it on the homepage, the view is spectacular. Erin helped immediately when we needed her support .
So we can recommend it to all who want to visit NY.
We came back second year on the trot and loved it just as much, if not more. 11th trip to ny and we spent more time in Williamsburg and Greenpoint than we did in Manhatten. Very sad to be home - miss the view, the clutter free modern feel of the apartment and Williamsburg which is so cool.
Egg is still brilliant especially now it's in a bigger location. Also loved Rabit Hole, and food in Wythe Hotel fab. But think my fave place is Donna the cocktail bar two steps from the apartment.
We'll be back Erin as soon as we've paid off our credit cards from this trip!
I have to be very honest and give this property a 5-star review, even though I risk not having it available when I want to book it next time! Honestly, the view of Lower Manhattan is so incredible that you really don't need any boat cruises. This apartment has everything, even a wonderful Urban Market on the first floor for the times you just want to enjoy some delicacies at 'home' with a nice bottle of wine, watching the killer view. Very nice amenities and we most definitely would want to stay here again. Ferry is just a block away. Subway further but great walk with interesting feel of Brooklyn along the way. You will get why people prefer it. This is a spacious, very comfortable apartment. You can't go wrong unless you book it when I want it.
Situated along the waterfront we are conveniently located just one subway stop from Manhattan on either the JMZ or the L subway line.This stretch along the waterfront embodies the spirit of old and new. Once a thriving industrial neighborhood, it has now transformed into one of the cities most sought after communities, and we are perfectly situated to take advantage of it all. Outside your door you will find culture,convenience and some of the best restaurants in the city such as Marlow and sons, diner, isa, peter luggers, dresser, fatty cue and many many more.The area was the home of many breweries as well, and all the local bars feature many of the old beer as well as many delicious craft beers brewed locally.There are several local music venues as well including the music hall of Williamsburg, knitting factory and Brooklyn bowl just to name a few. There are also within walking distance all the smaller local hangouts where you can find live music as well. Our favorite thing to do is walk to one of the local restaurants and visit skinny Dennis a local honky tonk bar on metropolitan and berry st for some good old American country music and rock n roll.
Some of my favorite eateries are Marlow and sons, and diner both located within a 5 minute walk! We are a short walk to Bedford ave the heart of Wiiliamsburg and all the cafes, shops, and restaurants.
