What Do You Say To A Drunken (not when I met him) Sailor
by Paul on 05/25/08 at 12:54 PM ET
Comments (0)
I have sent in my NHL.com blog about last night and will be pointing it out later today when it appears online.
I did not include my meeting with IwoCPO, The Sailor, the founder of Abel to Yzerman. This was the first time I met Bill and we chatted for a few minutes under the Gordie Howe statue at the JLA.
Bill wanted to be there as a fan, not as a media guy and to be truthful, I envied him. You see, I had a media credential around my neck, which basically prevents me from cheering. As many of you know, I am a fan first and never have or will consider myself a journalist.
As the game played-out, I thought of Bill with a beer in his hand, maybe two, screaming at the top of his lungs. Hurling jeers at the ref when the Lidstrom goal was waived off, exchanging high fives when the Red Wings scored, probably doing the same as most Wings fans were doing.
I miss that, I have to hold my emotions in check, can't even give a little clap. There are perks to this job, but there are also a few downsides too, and this happens to be one of them. No cheering, my emotions in a state of flux!
I also want to thank Alanah for holding down the fort here at KK while I am covering the SCF. I know updating KK is not a one person job anymore and Alanah is going above and beyond her role here!

Paul is at the NHL's media event in Detroit (for which we're hosting the live video feed on the previous post).
This post will be an open forum from the event, to add photos he sends in and links to audio he'll be posting on NHL.com later today.
Updates will be added below throughout the day, with Wings stuff coming in first since the Penguins aren't yet available. To start, I've put up a couple screenshots from video he's shot today so far…

What's Your Superstition? Share and Win

[Note: Original post time was May 21, 3:09pm ET. I'll be bumping it to the front page periodically. The entries so far are great!]
No amount of personal hockey superstitions have ever helped my Vancouver Canucks, but that's never stopped me. From idiotic morning routines to game-day-meals, that team gets anywhere near the playoffs and I develop so many tics I'm like a strung out former heroin addict dealing with an OCD problem.
Fortunately I'm not alone. Kukla, for instance, bought this ticket in Nevada last November, betting $20 that the Red Wings take the Stanley Cup this season. Yet cocky as that may be, he's been too superstitious to make mention of it to anyone. He only decided he'd let me mention it because, well, that doesn't "jinx" things the same way, apparently.
See where I'm going with this? Well, yes: hockey fans are nuts. But also: We'd like to reward 3 of you with $50 gift certificates to IceJerseys.com or shop.NHL.com for sharing your own special brand of crazy.
What's your most reliable superstition? Or just share your friend's.
Winners will be selected by a random draw from the comments of this post. Enter by 5pm ET Saturday, May 24th. Rules are below.

Or if you'd rather choose just specific feeds this page has them all listed individually. (If you don't use a feedreader, Bloglines, Netvibes and Gmail's reader are a few of our favorites.)
Twitter—We started to Twitter a couple months ago which is handy for keeping up with headlines and links in a variety of ways—at the Twitter website, by IM or via your cell phone. A fair amount of traffic from our Twitter feed has shown us how useful this service has proven to be for a lot of people, subscribers and non-subscribers alike.

Playing Along

The guys at PlayAction.tv have been after me to participate in one of their prediction games and I finally took them up on their offer last Saturday.
PlayAction.tv offers a very unique prediction game that runs off your mobile phone. They send you a prediction question. You predict the outcome and send back the numerical code of your chosen answer. They have 'game jockeys' who run the games live and send out some very interesting questions.
The opening pick for Saturday's Habs-Flyers game was "Can Habs carry momentum from GM 1? How will MTL do after 1st?". I figured Montreal would certainly ride the momentum of their huge comeback win in Game One so I chose "Lead by 1". Unfortunately, the Flyers didn't follow the script…

KK- A New Direct Advertiser - Welcome NHL PlayAction
by Paul on 03/31/08 at 01:37 PM ET
Comments (0)
As the way fans watch the game continues to change in this information age, we're seeing all sorts of new 'arenas' where fans can compete and win while cheering on their favorite team. NHL PlayAction launched recently, and Big League of PlayAction.tv dropped by Kukla's Korner to give us some insight into this new age of fan-driven competition.
Paul Kukla: Hi Big League. What's the driving force behind PlayAction and what can fans expect when they sign-up and play?
Big League: All of our PlayAthletes are posed the same 8 questions, sent by text message to their phone, from which they predict certain outcomes in the game. For example, how many points will Alexander Ovechkin tally tonight? They then make their picks on their mobile giving fans a way to interact with each other by competing throughout the game. The questions keep the game exciting right to the end. Your team may be down 5-0 with 10 minutes left, but you still need to see if your choice, say "Pittsburgh Forward", will get the last shot of the game. It really adds excitement from the opening face-off to the final buzzer.
The cool thing is that you have a live "Game Jockey" who is watching the game and keying questions based on the action.

This morning, the data center lost a power distribution unit and this affected many of our Minneapolis, MN servers. We have moved the systems to alternate circuits and are bringing the systems back online.

Patriots CB Alfonzo Dennard found guilty of assaulting police officer in Nebraska
Posted By Jerry Spar On February 20, 2013 @ 12:12 pm In General | 40 Comments
The trial of Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard ended Wednesday when the jury returned a verdict of guilty [1] to a felony charge of assaulting a police officer and a misdemeanor for resisting arrest. He was found not guilty to a third charge, for misdemeanor assault. Dennard faces up to six years in jail and $11,000 in fines at his April 11 sentencing.
Dennard was accused of punching a man on a street outside a bar at closing time, and then punching a police officer who tried to arrest him. The incident happened in Lincoln, Neb., in April 2012, as Dennard was preparing for the NFL draft [2] following his career at the University of Nebraska. The Patriots selected Dennard in the seventh round, and he went on to start seven games this past season, recording three interceptions.
Dennard claimed that he pushed the officer in self-defense, but two officers testified that he punched one of them in the jaw.

Curling proves to be the sweep science
Originally Published: April 7, 2010By Paul Lukas | Page 2
For most of America, curling doesn't exist except during the Winter Olympics. Then there's the momentary surge of interest -- "Oh right, the funny game with the brooms, that's sorta cool" -- and then the Olympics end and curling disappears from everyone's radar for another four years.
But curling doesn't stop when the Olympics are over. The World Men's Curling Championships are taking place right now in Italy, in fact. And I've been following the proceedings closely, because I recently ...

A very special thanks to Mr. Hulk Smahin' for bringing this to our attention…
When you think of Deadpool, you know that Weasel's his armorer and Blind Al's his sometimes-confidant. But who's his director? Robert Rodriguez was talking about helming a solo movie for the 'Pool for a long time, but now Deadline's saying that Tim Miller's taking command of the S.S. D.P. Though this would be his first movie as director, Miller actually has actually had a long career as a visual effects artist on a healthy selection of blockbusters. Most pertinent of those credits are his work on the first two X-MEN movies, DAREDEVIL and the especially-recent SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD.
I've got literally nothing to base expectations on here, suffice it to say that we've got a director who surely knows how to push an effects budget as far as it can go. I'm expecting more "I can't believe it's not $100 million" DISTRICT 9-style magic and less "What's up with these obviously cartoony claws in the Canadian couple's bathroom?" confusion. == TEASER ==
With GREEN LANTERN only a couple months away, it seemed like the aforementioned DEADPOOL ship might've sailed, even despite Ryan Reynolds and Lauren Donner's enthusiasm for the property. However, considering how THE WOLVERINE might be going through some indefinitie delays, now, I suspect the studio might be a lot more interested in making this happen expediently, now. Wade's scooping up the ball!

A new Greenhouse Gas Protocol tool to help Chinese cities measure and manage their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions was launched today in Beijing.
Rio de Janeiro Poised to Update Its Greenhouse Gas Inventoryby -
Rio de Janeiro is a leader among the Brazilian cities aggressively promoting low-carbon development. In 2011, the city passed a landmark climate change law with a target to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 8% below the business-as-usual (BAU) emissions scenario by 2012, 16% by 2016, and 20% by 2020.
Now Rio is conducting a GHG inventory for 2012, the first target year under its climate change law. The inventory will measure the city's emissions against its 8% reduction target for 2012, and assess the effectiveness of GHG mitigation actions implemented so far. On July 2, the city government of Rio invited me and my colleagues from the Greater London Authority and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (COPPE) to a seminar to share our experiences in conducting GHG inventories and to discuss Rio's 2012 inventory. At the seminar, Nelson Moreira Franco, Director for Climate Change Management and Sustainable Development for the City of Rio, stressed that GHG inventories help identify emission sources and provide scientific evidence on GHG levels, so it is extremely important that the city gets it right. To me, the seminar covered four important items:
33 Cities Test New Framework for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Inventoriesby and -
A growing number of countries and companies now measure and manage their emissions through greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories. Cities, however, lack a common framework for tracking their own emissions—until now.
Thirty-three cities and communities from around the world started pilot testing the Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pilot Version 1.0 (GPC Pilot Version 1.0) last month. The GPC represents the first international framework for greenhouse gas accounting for cities. It was launched in May 2012 as a joint initiative among WRI, C40, and ICLEI in collaboration with the World Bank, UN-HABITAT, and UNEP.
Standards and tools for companies and organizations to manage their GHG emissions and become more efficient, resilient, and prosperous.
Nitrogen Trifluoride Now Required in GHG Protocol Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventoriesby -
Scientific understanding of the chemicals that contribute to climate change is constantly improving. So, too, is the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP), as we work to keep abreast of such advances and ensure that they are reflected in our tools and standards.
One recent example concerns the greenhouse gas (GHG) nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), a chemical that is released in some high-tech industries, including in the manufacture of many electronics. The GHG Protocol now requires NF3 to be included in GHG inventories under the Corporate Standard, Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard, and Product Standard. A new GHGP Amendment updates the existing requirements.
How does this update affect my organization?
NF3 is used in a relatively small number of industrial processes. It is primarily produced in the manufacture of semiconductors and LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels, and certain types of solar panels and chemical lasers. To the extent that these processes occur in your company's direct operations or value chain, they may need to be reflected in future inventories to ensure conformance with GHG Protocol standards.
Lessons Learned from Low-Carbon City Planning in Malaysiaby -
Stacy Kotorac, a project coordinator/research assistant with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, also contributed to this blog post.
Low-carbon city development has become a central part of the Malaysian government's strategy to meet its greenhouse gas (GHG) commitments. The country, currently ranked second in terms of emissions per capita in Southeast Asia, has committed to reduce the emissions intensity of its gross domestic product (GDP) by 40 percent from 2005 levels by 2020.
Many Malaysian cities have created ambitious, low-carbon visions in order to meet national targets. However, many cities don't yet have a credible GHG inventory or a comprehensive blueprint to help them systematically implement and monitor low-carbon actions. Without such a framework, it is nearly impossible to establish baseline measurements, set goals, or measure progress.
That's why the GHG Protocol is currently working with partners to develop a standard methodology, the Global Protocol for Community Scale Emissions (GPC), as well as an accompanying toolkit that cities will be able to utilize to plan for their low-carbon development. Last year, we released the GPC Pilot Version 1.0. Over the next six months, about 30 cities will pilot test it.
New Guidance Makes Corporate Value Chain Accounting Easierby -
An effective corporate climate change strategy requires a detailed understanding of a company's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Until recently, most companies have focused on measuring emissions from their own operations and electricity consumption, using the GHG Protocol's Scope 1 and Scope 2 framework. But what about all of the emissions a company is responsible for outside of its own walls—from the goods it purchases to the disposal of the products it sells?
The GHG Protocol Scope 3 Standard, released in late 2011, is the only internationally accepted method for companies to account for these types of value chain emissions. Building on this standard, GHG Protocol has now released a new companion guide that makes it even easier for businesses to complete their scope 3 inventories. The guidance is freely available for download via the GHG Protocol website.
How Can Businesses Use the New Guidance?
Assessing GHG emissions across the entire value chain can be complex. For companies just beginning to assess their scope 3 emissions, it can be difficult to know where to start. This calculation guidance is designed to reduce those barriers by providing detailed, technical guidance on all the relevant calculation methods. It provides information not contained in the Scope 3 Standard, such as:
A New Tool to Measure and Reduce Emissions from Agricultureby -
Agriculture is a major actor in spurring global climate change. The sector is already responsible for at least 10-12 percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and agricultural emissions are expected to increase by more than 50 percent by 2030.
Mitigating agricultural emissions, then, could go a long way toward mitigating global climate change. The Greenhouse Gas Protocol is currently developing an Agricultural Guidance to help companies measure and reduce their agricultural emissions. We've just released a second draft of the Guidance for open comment period, which will run until May 31, 2013.
Key Challenges to Measuring Agricultural Emissions
Reporting agricultural emissions in GHG inventories is a decidedly complex endeavor, which can hinder reduction efforts. For example, agricultural emissions are strongly affected by weather and are therefore often calculated with a large amount of uncertainty. This ambiguity makes it challenging to set and track progress toward reduction targets. The carbon stored in biomass and soils can often be emitted into the atmosphere, making it imperative that companies do not over- or under-count the impact of farming practices on stored carbon. And companies vary widely in how they control different parts of agricultural supply chains—such as commodity production, processing, and retail —so it's difficult to maintain consistency in how inventories are reported.
For the First Time, a Common Framework for Cities' Greenhouse Gas Inventoriesby , and -

"You cannot manage what you cannot measure" is a well-known adage for business, and the phrase is increasingly relevant for cities. In the past decade, many cities have started measuring their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data. GHG inventories are essential for building effective low-carbon strategies, tracking GHG reductions, responding to regulations and local GHG program requirements, and securing climate finance. Some cities also believe that tracking emissions can eventually conserve financial and other resources.
The challenge is that most cities conduct their inventories using different methodologies. Without an internationally consistent framework for GHG accounting and reporting, inventory results can be confusing and misleading to decision-makers, investors, and civil society stakeholders. This lack of consistency can even jeopardize the accountability and effectiveness of cities' emission-reduction efforts.
The Global Protocol for Community-Scale GHG Emissions
But there is a solution: WRI partnered with C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group (C40) and ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI) to develop the Global Protocol for Community-Scale GHG Emissions (GPC) Pilot Version 1.0. This guide—which is now beginning its pilot-testing phase—is set to become the first internationally accepted framework for city-level GHG inventories.
As the GPC begins its pilot-testing phase, city leaders may wonder about the specific benefits of using a standardized GHG accounting method. Let's take a look at GHG reporting trends in cities and the risks of using inconsistent methods.
Released for Review: New Standards for Tracking GHG Emissions from Policies and Goalsby and -
With the latest round of global climate negotiations at an end, many countries, states, and cities around the world are taking action to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through mitigation policies and goals. Decision-makers need to understand the emissions impacts associated with these initiatives in order to evaluate effectiveness, make sound decisions, and assess progress.
However, there is currently little consistency or transparency in how such analysis is done. WRI aims to address this situation through forthcoming Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol standards for mitigation accounting, which have recently been released for review.
The Need for Accounting Standards for Mitigation Policies and Goals
To date, no standardized approach has existed for quantifying the GHG effects of policies and actions and tracking performance toward mitigation goals. For example, there is an ongoing debate on whether the United States is on track to meet its goal of reducing emissions by 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020. A recent study by Resources for the Future found that the United States is on track to meet its goal. However, the U.S. Energy Information Administration's 2013 Annual Energy Outlook expects carbon dioxide emissions to be only 9 percent below 2005 levels by 2020 as a result of policies currently in place. This difference in findings reflects differences in assumptions about the emissions impacts of policies, such as performance standards for power plants and vehicle fuel efficiency standards. These variations have very real policy implications for the degree to which the United States needs to ramp up actions to meet its 2020 goal.

Five Variable Stars in
pdf ps
Bonnie Buratti
Maria Mitchell Observatory,
Nantucket, Massachusetts
Bonnie Buratti, an M.I.T.
undergraduate working at the Maria Mitchell Observatory during the summer of
1973, derived periods for one newly discovered and four previously known
variable stars in Cygnus (Table I). Periods for none of these had been given in
the 1969 edition of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars. For IN Cygni,
Miller (1968) obtained a period of 285 days, which does not satisfy the
Nantucket observations as well as 287 days. It is curious that three of the
Mira-type stars all have effectively the same period.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|4 nights
Beautiful stone crafted large 2 bedroom villa over looking the ocean, set in a tropical garden with coconut trees and flowers. This stunning property has an infinity pool with feature waterfall and fire pit with extra large verandas. The living and fully equipped kitchen area is open plan with views to the ocean with cool breeze flowing through. The bedrooms each have king size beds and en-suite bathrooms, again with views to the ocean. The rooms are large enough to accommodate extra beds. The villa has its own path to the beach with safe swimming. The villa is a short distance to the village where you will find a few grocery stores, restaurants, bank and health clinic.
There are natural sites of interest near by including the Red Rocks and Chaudier Falls to name a few. Take a stroll on the beach, swim, snorkel or just relax on the beach, there is something for everyone.
Relocated from Canada to Dominica in 2006. Built the Villa and other properties creating an oasis in paradise!
Stacey & Rita Hovde purchased this villa in 2006
Located on one of the best beaches in Dominica. Friendly people and community providing the perfect home from home.
The true beauty for me is the ever changing ocean and beach. On days it can be calm on others its a surfers play ground. The coral reef protects the beach and provides a beautiful home for the sea life. Constant breeze keeps you cool and fresh and the coconut and almond trees provide just enough shade.
Thank you for the opportunity to stay in such a great villa. The views are amazing and the beach as well as the pool and overall property were terrific. Elaine (housekeeper) was very helpful and wonderful. Jen Jen, the cook, was great. She prepared several delicious dinners for us. Both are sweet ladies and a real positive addition to our experience. We spent two days with Nigel guiding us to various locations on the island. He was also a great find and we highly recommend him. We liked the Rainbow restaurant best of the nearby ones we sampled We could have stayed longer !! ... but the 2 weeks were delightful.
WOW! Red Rock Haven exceeded every single expectation! We came to Dominica with 8 other people to get married. We had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed the property. Honestly we had quite a few people, the house would be better suited to accommodate about 6 max, but we made it work. Beautiful and secluded property in the charming town of Calabishie on the North East Coast. Super private, gated property with a long and winding driveway leading to a gorgeous stone and wood open air house. Great open floor plan with covered porches on the front and back. Open kitchen overlooks the living area, infinity pool and the most amazing view. Bedrooms on either side of the living area with private baths. We were disappointed the splash pools off each bathroom were not working, but we made the most of them anyway and turned them into a sunken star gazing sitting area. Delightful breezes blow in from the blue Atlantic and the waves can be heard throughout the house. Beautiful infinity pool overlooks the property and the absolutely best views you can imagine. A sloped winding path off the pool area leads down to the old bar and restaurant and past other rental units (all were empty when we stayed) and to Pointe Baptiste Beach. It was mostly deserted the entire time we stayed, though it is a public beach. It is here you will really see why the house is called Red Rock Haven. The house is open air, so we enjoyed visits from bats and birds flying through the house, so amazing! The housekeeper Elaine was absolutely fantastic - she was so personable and helpful. She even brought snake fat - a topical ointment for my groom who fell and twisted his ankle badly (don't worry it was his fault). Jen Jen the cook is amazing - she made us curried chicken, rice, plantains and salad on our first night here. We truly enjoyed ourselves, going to the local market in Calabishie (though it is very limited). We asked locals where to find fresh fish, fruits and vegetables and were able to get fish directly from the fishermen right off the boat. We purchased a whole Mahi Mahi for $7EC/lb! What a deal! We purchased the best bananas, mangoes, limes and avocado from a local, Neville in Calabishie. What a character he is! We were supposed to get married at Emerald Pool, but due to my now husband's accident we had to change the venue to the Red Rock house, which was perfect! We were married next to the infinity pool overlooking the Atlantic. One of the owners, Gina helped us through the legal
We stayed here for four nights over Christmas very last minute when we didn't like other accommodation we had booked into. We had looked at the villa initially but decided it was too expensive for just the two of us - well, I'm really glad we ended up staying here, and I think for what you get it is good value, and would be even more so if there were four of you! The whole house feels luxurious but in a way that is in tune with its surroundings, especially with it being open to the breezes and the sound of the sea. Really comfortable beds too.
The pool area is lovely, and that double hammock one of my favourite ever places to chill. It's a short stroll down to a lovely beach that never had many/any people on, it was beautiful to sit there and bring picnics down from the house, and we also brought our coffee and tea down each morning to enjoy the early morning light before getting on with the day. The sea was a little too rough to swim in when we were there.
Calibishie is a nice town, we would recommend eating at Poz, for the atmosphere and good international food, and because Poz is a fab guy who helped us out by getting us some fish to BBQ when he was going into town. It was amazing - we marinated some of the tuna and ate it raw as tuna tartar on pineapple, yum! and also recommend the casual restaurant behind the supermarket for delicious excellent value local food.
Overall Calibishie is great and the villa is wonderful. We were really sad to leave.
We arrived late evening in the dark and had to wait till the next morning to discover what beautiful spot we had landed in! The house is located in a lush, green setting 5 minutes from a secluded beach / bay.
The house has a homely feel to it, though we didnt expect the roof to be 'open' this turned out to be a good way of having a nice breeze flowing.
We found what we were looking for, quietness and GREAT FOOD thanks to Jen and the friendly locals in Calibishie.
I should have written this review months ago.
My husband, three children and I spent the 10 days surrounding New Year's at Red Rock Haven Ocean Villa. Stacey, Rita and Rhiann made our stay so very special. Our daughters truly enjoyed Rhiann's adventures hiking around the beaches and being the special person she is made for a wonderful trip for both of our daughters. Stacy and Rita are amazing people, we enjoyed seeing so much of Dominica with them and learning about the island they love so much. Within moments of arriving I had a coconut in my hand (thank you, Danny) with a splash of rum and I was on vacation. There are endless opportunities for hiking, climbing, sight-seeing or you can just enjoy the absolutely beautiful home Stacy made for all to enjoy. It looks and feels just like in the photos shown here. Fantastic service each day from a wonderful woman who visits each morning and cleans up around the house and is kind and filled with information about the area. Jen, is an amazing cook! We should have enjoyed her cooking for more than one night, well next time.
It is a beautiful home in the perfect location. Rita set up a massage for me right out by the pool! To walk down a few steps and enjoy the beautiful beach is amazing.
Dominica makes you feel healthy and Red Rock Haven makes you feel like royalty -- it's a nice combination. Dan and I can't wait to return to the Villa and enjoy more of what Dominica has to offer and spend time in Calabishie (very friendly town) and enjoy good times with Stacy and Rita!
This villa is an open air house, in the canopy of the jungle, just 30 seconds from the beach. The gorgeous stone house has a large flat screen TV, Apple TV, high speed wireless internet, and a great stereo! You might think "so what"; but take your iPhone or iPad and you might appreciate the luxury of your music in the evenings around the infinity pool. The entrance to the secreted property is gated, but candidly, we rarely locked the gate. Same with the house. We never felt unsafe nor vulnerable to theft. But, there is a safe in each room for your valuables. The home is just how it is described online. Entering into the kitchen/living space, you have a separately enclose bedroom on each side. Each bedroom has a king size bed and a private bath suite. There is plenty of closet space, and some drawer space on the bathroom. Each bath has a nice shower, and a dual sink. Rollaway beds are also in each room. The bedrooms and center living space open onto the stone patio with the pool. There is sturdy outdoor furniture, and even a hammock. The patio in the back is perched over the ocean below. In fact, you can see and hear the ocean from every place in the house, except the bathrooms! With the tradewinds always blowing, the house remains constantly cool, even when the sun is at its peak. The beach below is good for a dip and has some decent snorkeling. There are masks, snorkels and fins in the pool house. The humidity in the jungle can be hard on appliances, but the place was incredibly clean considering its constant exposure to mother nature. A local woman comes every day for an hour to clean up, sweep, and do the linens. She is fabulous, funny, polite, and more than willing to adjust her schedule to yours. At Red Rock, it's all about you! There is a cook available for a reasonable rate, but we did not need that service. The owners live close by, and are there for you in a moments notice. They can answer every question you have about the area and its attractions. They were also helpful with pre-trip planning. One thing that remains with me is the genuine friendliness of the people of Calibishie. You can have all the privacy you want at Red Rock, but without effort, if you wish, you will be warmly welcomed by the neighborhood, and the village. It's a wonderful getaway location that has everything you could wish for. And if by chance you wished for something not there, my guess is the people of Calibishie would find it for you. This place is truly magical.

Europe bridles at WTO view on national biotech bans
By Jeremy Smith
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – European countries bristled on
Wednesday at a world trade ruling that touches on national
sovereignty over genetically modified (GMO) foods, with some
saying they would do their level best to keep farming GMO-free.
Europe's consumers are well known for their skepticism, if
not hostility, to GMO crops, often dubbed as "Frankenstein
foods." The biotech industry insists their products are
perfectly safe, however, and no different to conventional
Late on Tuesday, a World Trade Organization panel ruled
that various EU countries — Austria, France, Germany, Greece,
Italy and Luxembourg — had broken international trade rules by
imposing national bans on marketing and growing specific GMOs.
Some of those countries reacted angrily to the WTO ruling,
saying they would defend their legal right to block EU-approved
products if they wanted, since this was the will of consumers.
EU law dictates that such bans must be scientifically
Austria, one of the EU's staunchest biotech skeptics, has
banned imports of three GMO maize types and is considering a
ban on growing a GMO rapeseed. Government officials say they
will continue to be as restrictive as possible for the time
"The protection of people and the environment have absolute
priority, and the most recent scientific research vindicates
our cautious approach in this matter," said Austrian Health
Minister Maria Rauch-Kallat, responsible for national GMO
"We will exhaust all possibilities to keep Austria's
agriculture GM-free and ensure consumers' safety."
Last June, EU governments rebuffed attempts by the European
Commission to order the five countries to lift their national
GMO bans: the first time that the bloc has managed to agree
anything on biotech policy since 1998.
The Commission didn't think the bans were justified, and
nor did the WTO in its ruling on the case filed by Argentina,
Canada and the United States. It also said the EU's de facto
GMO moratorium between 1999 and 2003 broke world trade rules.
France, home to anti-GMO and free trade firebrand Jose
Bove, has a long-standing consumer opposition to biotech food.
Europe's agricultural powerhouse, France bans two types of GMO
rapeseed but has allowed some small-scale growing of GMO maize.
French consumer and farming groups deplored the WTO ruling,
insisting that a large majority of consumers were firmly
opposed to GMOs and said the EU's temporary approvals ban was
"We think the moratorium was totally justified insofar as
we need to assess GMOs' benefits for consumers as well as their
potential risks," Olivier Arnault, food officer at France's
largest consumer group UMC-Que Choisir, told Reuters.
A poll published in France this week showed that 78 percent
of those questioned would like a temporary ban on GMO products
in order to evaluate their health and environmental impact.
Green groups said consumer resistance to GMOs has increased
in Europe since the three major GMO growers filed their WTO
complaint in 2003. The ruling will not encourage consumers to
buy more GMOs, they say, and maybe make the opposition
"The WTO has bluntly ruled that European safeguards (bans)
should be sacrificed to benefit biotech corporations," said
Adrian Bebb, GMO campaigner at Friends of the Earth Europe.
"This will backfire and lead to even greater opposition to
genetically modified food and crops. Consumers worldwide will
not be bullied into eating GM foods."
U.S. officials regretted there was a level of
misinformation in Europe about the benefits of biotech crops
but hoped that the WTO ruling would let the EU open its doors
more to GMO imports.
"It is unfortunate the extent to which certain groups have
decided to demagogue the issue and mischaracterize the quality
… and environmental implications of biotechnology," Deputy
U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab told reporters.
"The proof will be in trade flows and transparency and ease
of approval processes. Time will tell," she said in Brussels.

San Francisco recently "banned the box" by adopting the Fair Chance Ordinance, which prohibits the popular criminal history check box on employment applications. Last year, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill 530 and Assembly Bill 218, further limiting the type of information employers may ask job applicants regarding their criminal history. San Francisco's Fair Chance Ordinance, however, takes these limitations a bit further. Under the ordinance, employers with 20 or more employees in San Francisco are prohibited from inquiring into an applicant's criminal history during the first interview. Even once employers may inquire into criminal history, they may ask only about misdemeanor and felony convictions that occurred in the last seven years. Any inquiry into an applicant's criminal history, whether conducted by the employer or a background check agency, must be disclosed to the applicant.
In light of these changes, make sure to audit and update your job application forms and consult counsel to ensure compliance.

How quickly people change in soapland; Soap watch.
And just when you thought things couldn't get any stranger in Brookside, especially in the Corkhill household, after Jimmy's highly amusing breakdown last week, whispering Jackie and sultry Shelley - wait for it - end up having a bit of a snog on Jackie's double bed.
Erm, hello? Now we all know Shelley likes to holiday on the isle of Lesbania, but Jackie Corkhill? They'll be having Ron and Mick at it next.
When Lindsey left her blubbering mum to go away on a training course, Shelley eagerly promised to keep an eye on Jackie. Now we know why. So is Jackie going to start wearing dungarees, downing pints and listening to kd Lang?
It's unlikely, but then again sleeping with loony Jimmy Corkhill and loser Ron Dixon would be enough to turn anyone gay.
Also in Brookie, a drunken Susannah is so desperate to see dishy Dr Darren she pretends Harry is ill so he has to visit her. Hmm, clever.
The woman is obsessed with the doc and doesn't care who she hurts in the process - Mick, Max, Jacqui.
If she doesn't watch out she'll be getting herself murdered in, ooh ... a matter of weeks.
Up in Coronation Street, love is in the air as Curly and Emma, Maxine and Ashley and Fred and Audrey head off for their holiday in Paris.
After all the dramas at Freshco, it's just what they all need. Expect lots of comedy moments as Audrey tries to speak the lingo and Fred stuffs his face with a nice bit of horse.
Meanwhile, the dogs' dinner that is Liz McDonald takes up residence in the street again to sort out her mess of a family. Hopefully she won't stay around for long. If we're lucky she may totter off her six inch heels and fall into the Manchester Ship Canal never to be seen again. Let's just pray they don't bring monkey boy Andy McDonald back as well.
Over in EastEnders, Pat is racked with guilt when dullard Roy returns to Walford and she starts making secret plans with Frank about running away together.
Honestly. I mean just what exactly is going on in her head? After all Frank has done in the past - ie, disappearing off the face of the earth, leaving her to look after his miserable kids, including the ratty-faced Janine mark one - I'm surprised she'd even give him a second thought.
How quickly they forget in the land of soap ...
Also, Mel finally admits her true feelings for Steve - but is she too late?
And the Slater girls still want to set up their dad with misery guts Pauline Fowler. Do they know what they are letting him in for? Smile woman - it doesn't hurt. Okay, you've had a hard life, but so have we watching you.
In the panto that is Emmerdale, there is another ridiculous storyline as barmaid Tricia - who is going out with Marlon - agrees to marry gay Aussie Joe so he can stay in the country to be with boyfriend Jason, who is Paddy's brother.
Keep up. Whilst she - being a bit simple - can't see any problem, Marlon is understandably upset. This one is going to drag on.
Plus, there's trouble in store for Diane Blackstock when her estranged husband - who she hasn't seen for 26 years - turns up in the village. It's a bit of a shocker for Bernice too, as she hasn't seen him since she was a baby.
If Bernice is lucky he may have a bit of cash so he'll be able to pay for those acting lessons.
In Hollyoaks, Luke's rape case finally goes to trial. Prepare for lots of lip quivering and tears. Cindy can't find a babysitter for her daughter Holly, but is so desperate to keep her bar job, she beds the toddler down in the cellar of the nightclub.
But Holly wakes up and finds an ecstasy tablet on the cellar floor and swallows it.
Another cheery week in the world of soaps then. Don'tcha just love it?

Like Water for Passover
Trust us, and drink this for the holiday
A few months ago, Alana Newhouse invented the world's greatest cocktail. This, dear readers, is not an assertion or a claim open to discussion. It is a hard, incontrovertible fact.
The cocktail, for reasons too convoluted to explain but that have something to do with this article, is named the Chuckles, and it consists of Tito's vodka; the juice of half a lemon; and, sometimes, some ice. It may sound simple. It isn't. The power of the Chuckles is so great that even Liel Leibovitz—a cantankerous whiskey man who formerly esteemed vodka the simple son of the spirit world—was converted.
But while Chuckles is the world's greatest cocktail and Tito's is the world's greatest vodka (again, fact), Tito's is, alas, not kosher for Passover. As a public service, then, we set out to find the best Chuckles made with potato vodka for your holiday drinking pleasure.
We tried four bottles: LiV, made in Long Island, New York; Chopin, straight outta Poland; Karlsson's, the pride of Sweden; and Boyd & Blair, hometown Glenshaw, Pennsylvania. We also experimented both with lemons and, for the benefit of those who like things a bit sweeter, Meyer lemons. We tasted the vodkas straight, and then with each one of the lemons, all in search of the perfect Pesach Chuckles. (There's very little we won't do for our readers.) Here are the results:
The Winner: Boyd & Blair vodka with lemon. The vodka has a tremendously appealing grape smell, and a mild flavor that suggests slightly more civilized rye. Still, it's properly present, with a body that commands the mouth and makes its flavors known right away. Add regular lemon, and you get a wonderful one-two punch: First a thudding base of delicious vodka, and then a stab of tartness. A delight.
The Runner-Up: Karlsson's vodka with Meyer lemon. Sipping the vodka by itself, we were unimpressed: We found the initial nose much too perfumey, and the taste had undertones of acetone that sent us for the nearest cup of water. But add the sweet Meyer, and all that perfuminess lifts up in one wonderful, liquid, alcoholic popsicle.
Honorable Mention: Chopin vodka with Meyer lemon. This, too, is underwhelming vodka—bitter, we thought, like husks of grain—transformed by the assertive sweetness of the Meyer lemon. This drink is like an ugly guy in a gorgeous suit, which is to say, imperfect, but somehow a boost to one's faith in humankind.
Local shoutout: LiV. "It's much too perfumey for me," said Lawrence native Newhouse, "but that's Long Island." Mad props to this big and loud vodka, even if we wouldn't want to drink it very often.
Finally, if, like us, you're fortunate enough to know Maya Benton, curator at the International Center for Photography and dear friend of the magazine, you might score a bottle of her stellar, home-made, horseradish infused vodka, more delicious than any liquor you'll drink this year and more potent than four glasses of wine.
So how do you make a Chuckles? Simple. Using a reamer—a cheap and magical bar tool you simply must have, which lets you obtain not only a lemon's juice but also its pulp—extract the juice of one lemon into a cup. Add four shots vodka, and ice if necessary. Mix; drink; recall the Exodus. Apparently, it will actually help.

You'll be ok!
- I found out I had Herpes only months after I started dating my current boyfriend. I was absolutely terrified to admit to him, especially since our relationship was so new. I finally got up the courage, fully expecting him to no longer want to be with me, and told him. It turns out that he felt quite the opposite; he was fully supportive, came with me to the doctor to get more answers and has never shown the least amount of disgust regarding the situation. Lucky for both of us, he has been negatively been tested. Anyone that is going through this needs to understand that it isn't the end of the world, and that although there is a stigma regarding the virus, educated individuals (who are worth being with) will not think less of you for having something that anyone can get. Don't worry!
- —Guest Could be worse
Just got diagnosed YESTERDAY!!!!!!
- I am not sure where I stand right now. I am feeling the worse ever in my life. I am 23, and a month ago was the first time I had sex ever with a man. Many of you won't believe it, but yes, I just lost my virginity a month ago. I had yeast infection and UTI at the same time about 3 weeks ago (that was after we had sex for the 2nd time). Everything was gone maybe 10 days ago but I felt a bit weird in my anal area so I went to the doctor yesterday. And guess what? I was positive with herpes. I am not sure what I should do... I kept my virginity for so long because I was afraid of STDs.. But once I loved someone and finally gave it up, things went wrong.... Now I am not sure how to tell him knowing that he will deny he gave me herpes and he will leave me for sure.... I really don't know what to do.... Please help....

i just found out i have herpes
- I went to the doctor's office today and one look at the cluster of sores on my vagina, she said i have herpes. i got tested for STDs a couple of months ago and it showed up negative. I have been with one partner, my soulmate for 15 months and he passed it on to me. I'm scared, i'm scared because i hurt so much from the sores. I am scared cos i don't know how to live my life "normally" I don't want to hate him because he never knew he had the stupid disease in him. If he knew, things would have been so different. I guess the first day, first outbreak is the hardest. I just need to find strength to deal with everything
- —Guest lost
Live & Learn then Forgive Yourself
- I found out I had herpes when I was 17, I am now 25. I got it from a guy I briefly dated who had a girlfriend I didn't know about. That relationship obviously amounted to nothing and I was left with the disease. I didn't take it too hard because my best friend had just been diagnosed with herpes and warts not too long before. (Her boyfriend of 2 years had been cheating of her.) At first I didn't tell people and ignored the fact that I had it. Then I was with a guy for awhile and couldn't live with the guilt and told him. He was understanding and we stayed together. After a couple years we split for other reasons. I have had 3 boyfriends since (including my current boyfriend), I have told them all before we were intimate and none of them ran. My current boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years and just a few months ago he did contract the disease. The only regret about being so open is that ppl talk & ppl know I have it. Who cares? I was honest. The ppl talking might have it too.

I wont let it give up my life
- Roughly 5-6 months ago i remember being in my bf apartment feeling very sick,high fever and bad pains in my vagina.I went to the clinic and found out i got type 2 herpes.I didn't want to tell me parents but i told my sister and she helped me out a little to pay for the medications.I remember crying to my bf saying i had herpes and u would think that u would hate the person for doing this to u.but like they say a person can have the virus and have no symptoms.my bf has 3 times my immune system(considering i was in a new area i got sick from the environment a lot).i never blamed him because he never knew he had it.We helped coop with it together because just as i am a victim he is too.I still go about life like it never happened.The best thing is that so far i only had that one episode and 2 short outbreaks in the first month.i haven't had another since because i became aware of my health.The healthier i was the more i wouldn't be vulnerable.its important to know it doesn't control ur life =
- —Guest Itsmylife
I was in shock.
- Two years ago, I was 16 and in March or may, I was raped and scared to tell anyone... so I kept it to myself. I'm not sure what I was feeling afterwards... A couple of years went by and I was as healthy as I could be, well I thought, than these blister like things kept appearing in my vaginal area. I told my mom about a year or so later... We'll she flipped; we weren't sure what to do... On May 17, 2010 I was diagnosed with Herpes. I'm not sure what I was feeling. I was hurt, confused, disgusted with myself. After leaving i called my girlfriend and told her; all she said is that she will always be her for me. I never really grasped why it happened to me... And I still don't know why either... I wish I knew. Its still hard to cope with; i cry every night wondering if its a dream or not and if I'll wake up soon.. I'm only 17 about to be 18 and I'm living with herpes. This is something I didn't want to live with, and i will stop thinking about it and how all this happened to me.

who wants a girl with herpes?
- I've only had herpes for about 6 months, and I'm crushed because i never in my life thought that i would be someone living with herpes, its depressing & sometimes when I'm alone i just cry, i always think to myself, Who's going to want a girl with herpes?" That's how i feel. & i felt like my last hope for relationship was with the person that infected me and we are no longer together. i cant allow my self to get close to another man it would be to hard to tell someone your dating that you have HERPES! so i just avoid dating or being close to anyone & a lot of times i feel sad & just lonely.
- —Guest --misunderstood
the person i loved gave me herpes
- i was in a relationship with my babys father for almost 3 yrs i found out that i had got herpes last year in oct from him.a few days after having unprotected sex with him i got sores & a really painful feeling down below it was devastating for me because i was so hurt that the man i loved and trusted had gave me this disease & was having unprotected sex with so many other woman behind my back! & thank god herpes was the only thing i caught! me & my babys father are no longer together but he believes that he does not have herpes because it is not visible! & he is still going around having unprotected sex with so many different woman spreading this disease which is so horrible. i dont think i could allow my self to be close to someone especially having herpes i somewhat feel alone & like no one will ever really want me because of this disease. but make sure u always protect yourself cause idiots like my babys father are going around carelessly infecting others
- —Guest --lonely
Life Since
- I found out I have herpes this year. When I first found out I got flu like symptoms and experienced the worst pain ever in my vagina area. I have had one outbreak since then, but it hasn't ruined my life. I just don't have the guts to tell someone new that I have herpes. Men take things way differently from women. I just tend to stay away from men, and just focus on school and work. It helps to have a focus, but I wonder what will I do when school is over, and I have only my job to focus on. I have never told anyone about the herpes, and I feel so alone and don't have anyone I can really talk to. I was thinking about joining a support group just to have people to relate to. Hopefully I will continue to get through this, and find someone who will accept me flaws and all. Be blessed to everyone going through this, and together we will get through.
- —Guest tryingtopushthrough
- im mel im 19 engaged to my bf of almost 3 years and have a healthy 15 month old beautiful girl. i was sure it was a yeast infection a really bad one i was reading up on it i went to the doctor not expecting anything other then normal and the doctor looks at me and says thats herpes and trying to think as my head is spinning(how,from who,is my fiance cheating on me?...)the doctor leaves the room to get me a card for the std clinic i started to ball my eyes out while trying to get myself back together before the doctor comes back in he gives me the card i say how is this possible?is it curable?(even though i knew the answer)and so i leave with my bf and baby in the waiting room i just start crying really hard and walk out yesterday i went to the std clinic had a culture done and it was positive i feel like garbage as i am a bigger person with the baby weight who just started to get my self esteem building up as i was feeling self-conscious about myself and now this wow never expected it.***From your guide: It's possible that you could have had herpes for a long time and not realized it, but started having outbreaks because of the changes in your body after a pregnancy***
- —Guest mel
who the hell gave me this
- 5 years ago, my fiance left me because i gave her herpes, we'd enjoyed two and a half years together all the while we knew that i could infect her (that's right WE knew) see i'm not one of those arse holes who just has sex with anyone and i truly loved this woman, after all i lost my virginity to her..................all other women in my life had been few and far between and nothing more than kissing. i have the opinion that it was one of the first girls i kissed that infected me, i have no way of knowing as i don't remember a time that i havn't had the occasional out break.......as a result of being dropped like yesterdays news, i can't let myself get close to women, which is driving me slowly insane. i can't get the stigma out of my head, and to make things more f'd up i'm still madly in love with this girl even after 4.5 years of not talking. might not be fatal but contagious is probably worse to most people.***From the Guide: With oral herpes, a lot of people get it from their family members, just from casual contact... before they even become sexually active***
- —Guest noone
protect yourself everytime
- im in pain all the time!!! i had sex with the same person for a year an a half an then he gave me genital herpes!!! i continued having sex with him just because i didnt figure anybody else would want me sexually!! i soon became pregnant by him an told him about the baby and the herpes an he called me names an told me the baby wasnt his an that he didnt have herpes!! i am in very bad pain quite often an i will not dare have sex with anyone else because i dont want them to catch herpes an have to deal with the constant pain that i deal with!!! i just think it is so selfish for someone to have sex with people without telling them that they are infected with herpes... thankfully my baby that i had was healthy an not infected with the herpes. please anyone reading this who may or may not have herpes use protection every time and talk to your partner an tell them if you have it before it gets passed along!!! i feel that that is only fair to do!!! ***From Your Guide: It's possible that he didn't know he was infected. You can have herpes with no symptoms. This is why testing can be so important in combination with having safe sex***
- —mskeysha
Don't trust condoms!
- I contracted herpes from my husband 11 years ago during our very first sexual encounter even though he was wearing a condom. He told me that he had the virus and I felt such empathy for him. We had been friends for about 5 years and I believed at the time that as long as we used protection that I would be safe. Not true. Somehow the condom came off inside me and 2 days later I was in the most excruciating pain down below. I could never see myself potentially risking someone else's life that way, and even though I didn't see him as my soul mate, I married him. Now we are separated and not only do I not have the nerve to tell another that I have this, I am also unwilling to risk someone's health as I don't believe that there is a 100% safe way to ever have sex again. I am only 43 but I fear I may never have a relationship again. I just don't have the confidence to ever get close to another man and for that I feel so very alone. **From your guide: Condoms are not 100% protective from herpes even if they don't slip, but combined with suppressive therapies and being sensible about when you have sex they can vastly reduce your risk of transmission to a partner. I also highly recommend herpes dating sites for those of you who aren't willing to take the risk of sleeping with an uninfected person even if THEY are willing. Herpes is incredibly common. You can still find someone to love***
- —Guest So Discouraged
Scared and Depressed
- I met my current boyfriend 5 years ago & we dated for a little while & then distanced. He joined the army & we kept in touch off & on. about a year ago we started talking again & when he went on leave he visited me. we had unprotected sex one drunken night (stupidly). We are dating long distance until he moves near me in a few months. About a month& a half after we had unprotected sex i got pharyngitis, which can be caused by HSV & have since felt ongoing pain near my vulva and found a lesion. in the past 2 days i have felt pelvic pressure, heaviness, & swelling. i got std testing a month ago & they somehow lost my results for hsv but gave me a prescription for acyclovir. my only two previous bfs were virgins. we both love each other so much but im pretty sure he gave me hsv. Idk how to talk to him about it or if i should wait til he gets here. he told me once he's terrified of stds. idt he knows he has it. what should i do? im only in college and im scared and feel worthless. :(
- —Guest Needs Advise
I don't know what to do
- I was diagnosed with herpes last year around thanksgiving. my boyfriend cheated 3 months before and got herpes from some girl from school. He told me when it happened and we broke up... A month later we got back together and two weeks after we had sex i was having a really serious obs. Went to the doctor she said it was herpes i told him and he said he didn't know and he hasn't had an ob and still hasn't to this very day. Neither has he gone to the doctor. he said hes very busy with school and whats the rush because they can only tell him 1 of 2 things either he has it or he doesn't. so i guess im just scared because i have been having obs like crazy and i'm very stressed and slipping into depression slowly but surely. i have been taking valtrex and the obs go away and then a couple of days later they they just come back again. i cant even concentrate in school so i have failed this semester in almost all of my classes. i just don't know what to do i know i haven't cheated. i need someone.**From your guide: It is completely possible, and even likely, that you were infected by your boyfriend and that he is just lucky enough to not have outbreaks. He should get tested so that he can know his status and act accordingly to try to protect any future partners from infection. I also suggest that you talk to your doctor about stress reduction since stress can make outbreaks both worse and more frequent. It's a vicious cycle, and I hope things get better for you soon. ***

BOISE -- Gas prices are dropping but Idaho remains above the national average.
In the past week, the average price for a gallon of gas has dropped 5 cents in Idaho to $3.60.
The national average is $3.36 per gallon.
Analysts say refiners have been passing on lower wholesale gas prices over the past four weeks, resulting in cheaper gas at the pump.
The AAA auto club reports the average price of a gallon of gasoline in Oregon is $3.50. That's down a nickel in a week and 20 cents in a month, but still higher than the national average.
The average price of a gallon of gasoline in Washington is $3.53. That's down a nickel in a week and 22 cents in a month.

Congressman John Garamendi (D-CA) recently introduced H.R. 613, the Airports, Highways, High-Speed Rail, Trains, and Transit: Make It In America Act ("Make It In America Act"). The legislation would make amendments to Buy America Act provisions of current law regarding various transportation sectors, including airports, highways, high-speed rail, Amtrak, buses, light rail, and heavy rail. The Make It In America Act is part of the Make It In America agenda and legislative initiative for Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives whose goal is to rebuild manufacturing in America.
Specifically, the Make It In America Act would eliminate certain types of waivers to Buy America Act requirements that otherwise mandate use of steel, iron, and manufactured goods that are produced in the United States.
Airports, Buses, Light Rail, and Heavy Rail
Under current law, waivers to Buy America Act requirements may be obtained in situations where the requirement to use only steel, iron, and manufactured goods produced in the United States is "inconsistent with the public interest" or the U.S.-origin steel or goods "are not produced in a sufficient and reasonably available amount or are not of a satisfactory quality."
The Make It In America Act eliminates these waivers and instead would allow limited use of non-U.S. steel, iron, and manufactured goods provided that at least 60 percent of the components are produced in the United States for obligations made on or before December 31, 2011 and at least 80 percent of the components are produced in the United States for obligations made in the period from January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012. This phase-out period would end completely on January 1, 2014, thus ending the potential for waivers completely at that time should the proposed bill be enacted.
Highways, Roadways, and High Speed Rail
The Make It In America Act eliminates most waivers available under current law and instead would allow use of non-U.S. steel and manufactured goods only where "including domestic material will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent."
The Make It In America Act eliminates all waivers available under current law that apply to Amtrak projects where the "articles, materials, or supplies bought" are priced at at least $1,000,000.
Prospects For Enactment
The prospects for action on Make It In America Act before the 2012 elections are uncertain, but it is clear that the proposed legislation will be a part of the blueprint for Congressional Democrats to revitalize American manufacturing for some time to come.
