Overall pay has been rising about 2 percent a year, roughly equal to inflation.

I'm looking for anyone (probably older types) to carefully look over this image and with all the potential clues, come up with a date (approx year) of exposure and country of origin.Attachment 7677
I have no real clue. The car in the background, which I do not recognize, is the best clue. But the overall feel of the image reminds me of my family images from the 1920s and early 30s. Perhaps the automobile experts will hone in on the car.
I also think 1920's by the gentlemen's suits and the children's clothing. It could be any number of countries including the USA. The fence in the backgroung looks very American. Interesting though.
France, '30's. The outside scupper to the right and the window to the left.
I'm not sure, but the bloke holding the baby has got a weird right hand.
I'm close to where Robert is - certainly as to Europe. But I'm thinking Holland, Belgium or northern France. What strikes me are both the car (which makes me think France) and the "bowed" window (which puts me nearer to Holland or other more northern climes).
How about the BeNeLux plus France as a wild guess?
ok, first of all, I don't have the answer! I'm trying to find this stuff out as they are my relatives including the little boy with the hammer...who happens to look exactly like me at that age. I sent this image to an automobile expert in London who promply told me the steering wheel was on the left and therefore an american image. The next clues are the popped out screen hood over the window and the dress of the older man. I'm guessing 1920s or 30's but I need an american car expert to tell me about the vehicle. Thanks so far...
i have seen window screens like that from the 20s/30s ...
the car, while it has the steering wheel on the left, could have been
european - not just from the states.
it looks kind of like an old touring car ( convertible )
its hard to ID something like that just from the rear-quarer
but it has the "feeling" of one of these cars:
you could get a better idea of the window treatments by contacting
a restoration place like http://www.architecturaliron.com/ .
if you send them a copy of the photo, they can ask around seeing that they
make repros of this sort of thing ...
the brickwark behind = flemish bond+downspouts are all bronze and look
typ. 1920s ...
good luck!

Of course there are ways to precisely calibrate such things, but is it worth it to set up instruments far more expensive than the only you're trying to fix? Been there, done that. I'm nitpicky, but at a
certain point, things can become overkill. Some of these magnifiers had paper shims in the base as
well as under the mirror. All it takes is a little bit of sloppiness in either and you've got an issue.
In most cases the casting aren't precise enough to dispense with the need of some manual adjustment during final assembly. And I never ever assume that a piece of equipment is precise without first checking it - well, maybe a machinist's quality instrument from Starret or Mitutoya
accompanied by a regiesterd certificate of accuracy - and I they'd have made on of these devices
it would have cost a lot more than what you paid for Peak. In fact they make instrumentation which
will read that front surface mirror and make a countour map of it several feet wide in millionth's of
an inch, just in case you need to see how flat it really is!

|Life cycle assessment of bioethanol derived from corn and corn stover
|Ip, Dora; Diba, Farbod Ahmadi; Pope, Derek
|Issue Date:
|Publicly Available in cIRcle
|Series/Report no.
|University of British Columbia, UBC Social Ecological Economic Development Studies (SEEDS) Student Reports
|This paper follows the growing research of bioethanol fuels produced from farmed corn as well as corn stover in comparision to petroleum fuels. A Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) using the GaBi database was done to effectively compare results in terms of their respective emissions to the air, water, and industrial soil. Various basis' that were also involved in the comparison include 1) Mass [kg], 2) TRACI – Global Warming Air [kg CO2-Equiv.], 3) TRACI, Acidification Rain [kg mol H + Equiv.], and 4) TRACI, Smog Air [kg NOx-Equiv.]. Production and processes of corn and petroleum from crude oils are also observed and are replicated in the GaBi simulation. To normalize the three fuels, a functional unit of distance (km), and a conventional car (2001 Ford Taurus) was selected to describe the combustion of each fuel source based on a travel distance of 100km on average road conditions. The first section will illustrate the LCA conducted on gasoline and the results of the analysis. Following will show the LCA conducted for E85 produced from corn and corn stover, with overall results comparing each fuel source in the end. Based on LCA results, E85 was shown to have a 39% reduction in GHG emissions when compared to gasoline. The type of feedstock for ethanol production (corn versus corn stover) had little effect on the life cycle emissions of E85, however, the resource inputs varied dramatically. To travel 100km, 12.9kg of corn (food) and 190.4kg of water. In comparison, no food is required when corn stover is used as the feedstock, however, 274.5kg of water is consumed.

One big x-factor in this process is USC. As I explained in part 12 ( link here) , at least potentially on the table is a monumental shake-up whereby USC (along with Texas) could completely shake up the state of college athletics in the Western US. And, of course, they could pursue other options, possibly including independence (though as I argued, I think that would be a major mistake for them). But pursuing any of those options would inevitably hurt some or all of their Pac-12 brethren, which means that the biggest question for USC is whether they're going to be willing to hurt their fellow league members.
Despite all the talk about the TV contract and the other details of league organization, probably the most important factor affecting whether or not USC eventually leaves if given the opportunity (and if it would actively pursue opportunities in the meantime) is the upcoming appeal of the NCAA sanctions. I'm not a lawyer or an expert on the NCAA and its rules and regulations, but I think (and plenty of people, including ESPN's Ted Miller) agree that, at the very least, USC has a legitimate case for seriously reducing the sanctions.
This is an easy, obvious way for the Pac-12 to solidify its long-term relationship with USC. They should be doing everything they possibly can to help USC out in this situation. Win or lose, they should make sure USC and its backers come away from the process believing that the Pac-12 was solidly in its corner (and it's a lot better if it's "helped them win" rather than just "tried to help"). Simple human nature makes it tough for USC to essentially say "thanks a lot for helping us out when we needed it, now screw you as we walk away."
But if the Pac-12 does nothing to help, then however the appeal ends up shaking out, it becomes more likely that USC starts working on their exit strategy. There is a definite sense among the USC fanbase that the league has essentially abandoned the Trojans during the process, and there is legitimate anger due to that perception. That's going to seriously undermine whatever loyalty USC feels towards the league, and I don't think that's a grudge that would go away any time over the next 20 or so years. If USC wins the appeal with no help from the league, then that only creates (or reinforces) the idea that they'll be fine on their own. And if they lose with no help from the league, they'll come away thinking that they would have won with league help and got screwed by their league brethren.
Ultimately, the ONLY way the Pac-12 comes out of this in good shape is if they make a legitimate effort to help USC's appeal. I am guessing that the league has already been working on this behind the scenes, and that this will eventually come out. But if I'm wrong, and the league really hasn't done anything to help (and at this point it's probably too late to start), I can't help but feel that the Pac-12 experiment is running on borrowed time.
And just for the record, "borrowed time" could very well mean as little as two years, given the relevant parts of the by-laws as printed in the 2010-2011 league handbook:
3. Withdrawal. Each member reserves the right to withdraw from the Conference. The withdrawing member shall provide written notice at least 90 days before the commencement of a two-year withdrawal period which shall begin on the July 1 after the receipt of the written notice. If written notice is received less than 90 days prior to July 1, then the withdrawal period shall not begin until the next July 1. The withdrawal period may be shortened upon majority vote of the remaining members of the CEO Group. Effective on the date that a member delivers notice of withdrawal, the member's representative to the CEO Group shall automatically cease to be a member of the
CEO Group and shall cease to have the right to vote on any matter before the CEO Group. (6/10)
Each member of the Conference at all times pertinent herein shall have been deemed to have entered into agreements for nine annual football games with the other members of the Conference and shall be guaranteed that those games will be played as scheduled under such schedules as may be adopted by the Conference from time to time and shall continue for the two football seasons after the date of official notification to or from any such member that it shall resign from or its membership shall be otherwise terminated in the Conference, provided the institution maintains its NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision classification. (5/78, 12/85, 1/89, 2/92, 6/05, 8/10)
(note the apparent lack of any financial penalties, just essentially a 2-year notice for anyone who wants out)
While the NCAA appeal is the most obvious issue, there is another big issue that, if not fixed, could easily create long-term grievances for not only USC, but a couple other Pac-12 programs as well.
If the Pac-12 is really serious about keeping things together, they're going to have to fix the non-conference scheduling arrangements. Right now there are a couple programs who have actually sold home games, and almost everyone has at some point accepted a home and home arrangement with a non-AQ type team. At some point the administration at USC (UCLA and Washington as well – and Oregon is getting close to that point) is going to ask, "if those guys can't even get better than a home and home against programs like New Mexico, Houston, or Wyoming, not to mention future Sun Belt member UTSA, or if they only way those guys can put elite teams on the schedule is to sell home games, then why in the world are we giving them home and home deals by being in the same league as them?" And they have a point. USC, UCLA, Washington and (going forward) Oregon would never do a home and home with small-time programs like Wyoming or New Mexico, much less MAC or Sun Belt teams (home and homes with Hawaii are clearly due to the 13th game, though to be honest I think that those are unwise deals).
And it's not just a pride thing. Home games are a material advantage when it comes to winning (based on my numbers, in 2010 across 1-A home teams were 36-17 [68%] in league games between teams that finished tied in the league standings, and 95-69 [58%] in games between teams who finished within one league win of each other). This means that teams who accept unfavorable scheduling arrangements are costing themselves wins over the long term, which means they're costing the entire league the prestige that comes from a high non-conference win total (recall the criticism leveled by multiple people against Oregon because they didn't beat enough "bowl teams" as just one example – in 2010 the Pac-10 was perceived as "down" despite a fantastic winning % against other AQ's and an overall brutal non-conference schedule, and it's entirely due to the league's aggregate non-conference record).
Moreover, the current TV arrangement is to (basically) equally split ALL television revenue, not just from the intra-conference games. If I understand the arrangements correctly, that means that when Colorado sells a home game to Ohio St, they're taking money away from everyone else by costing the league a television game. Note that my interpretation of the TV policy is based on the following Handbook language:
For any non-Conference football game played within the Conference footprint (defined as the states of Washington, Oregon, California, and Arizona) and not played at the non-Conference opponent's home stadium, the media rights shall be controlled by the Conference.
which to me implies that the league gets no rights to the check Colorado gets from selling a game to Ohio St, since it's not a home game, though I could well be missing something
Presuming I'm reading the rules correctly, this is a classic "tragedy of the commons" situation: Colorado takes away from the shared resource (which they only get 1/12 of), but they get to keep the whole check from Ohio St. Ditto for Oregon St and Washington St, both of whom have made similar deals in the past.
And it's just as much of a problem when, for instance, ASU accepts the utterly insane home and home deal with future Sun Belt member UT-San Antonio (for the record, I think this should have been a firing offense for Lisa Love… but that's a whole other story). By making that deal, they're actively costing the league money compared to signing a 3:1 or straight paycheck deal (and, of course, it makes the league as a whole look ridiculous for one of its members to publicly proclaim essentially a Sun Belt team [which has still never played a football game yet] as an equal). And there have been a lot of Pac-12 teams who have made home and home deals with non-AQ's, so it's hardly like ASU is the only guilty party here (and it looks like Colorado had such a similarly crazy deal with the MAC earlier this decade too).
As long as the league allows this to continue, USC (and others) will have a legitimate grievance, because they're contributing an outsize amount to this pot, both in terms of interesting non-conference games (they have the annual game with Notre Dame, and they usually have one other top-notch non-conference game, pretty much always home and home or better) and sheer number of home games (other than the odd situation in 2005 with Virginia Tech, they never sell home games, and frequently buy paycheck games or do other favorable arrangements). Complaints about splitting TV revenue from league games aren't really fair, but complaints about the TV revenue from non-league games are absolutely reasonable and a major issue.
Either the league needs to mandate rules about making favorable non-conference scheduling arrangements, and institute an absolute ban on selling off home games, or at the very least it's going to need to separate the equal treatment of league TV revenue (which is fair and reasonable, even if USC etc. don't really like it) from the treatment of non-conference TV revenue (which is clearly an unfair arrangement as it stands). No one is talking about it today, but eventually this is going to blow up into a major issue, and the league really needs to get on top of it before it becomes a problem. It's the one clear source of potential long-term conflict inside the league, and everyone (both the programs at the top and everyone else) would benefit if this problem gets solved before it turns into a crisis.
For clarity's sake, I'm putting together a list of most of the non-conference games played by the Pac-12 teams, from the ones I'd consider to be "big-time" (home and homes against upper-level AQ's, favorable deals against halfway decent non-AQ's or better), to those I'd consider "small-time" (home and homes against any non-AQ's other than the best few [except for local rivalries], unfavorable deals against anyone) or egregiously small-time (unfavorable deals with non-AQ's or home and homes against the dregs of 1-A). "Gray area" games that aren't really big-time or small-time were excluded. I've used games for 2005 to 2014, using the following sources:

National Champs.net (future games)
Egregiously Small Time
Arizona St
Home and home with UTSA (after 2015)

N/A (it's not really fair to include the games from when they were still a non-AQ on this list)
Washington St
Paycheck games at Auburn (2006)
1:2 with Wisconsin (2007, 2014 and after; though Wisconsin will probably cancel the deal and make it a flat paycheck game)

Organic shops dismiss Stanford University study questioning enhanced nutritional value
EVANSVILLE - Brett Siler said he didn't take seriously a recent study that said organic foods aren't more nutritious than those grown by conventional methods.
"I just kind of blew it off when I heard it," said Siler, 29, a staff member of Evansville's River City Food Co-Op. "It was a misconception, people shouldn't give out information when they don't know what they're talking about."
Organic food has, at least partially, come into the food service market on the platform of healthy eating, but those health benefits were called into question in a Stanford University study released this month. The study concluded organic food has little to no nutritional advantage over conventional foods, citing only a few exceptions in regard to pesticides and antibiotics.
Local organic food markets report, though, they have not experienced any drop in sales since the study's release.
River City Food Co-Op, located at 116 Washington Ave., opened in 2005 and is a member-owned-and-operated business. It has about 350 members, and serves approximately 100 regular customers a week. Siler said the business' clientele base is mostly made up of regulars, with some exceptions.
"Every week we have someone new stumble in and discover the place," Siler said. "We're kind of tucked away, so a lot of people don't even know we're here."
Elbert's Natural Food Market, 5614 E. Virginia St., in Evansville first opened in 2006 and has grown to a regular customer base of about 150 a week. Elbert's owner Catherine Elbert-Burkemper said she hadn't heard about the recent study and her business has seen no impact.
"Everything seems normal here," Elbert-Burkemper said. "No one has really been talking about it or asking about it."
In an apple-to-apple comparison, Elbert-Burkemper said she could see where the nutritional numbers would be similar, but she would have to disagree with the study when it comes to things such as artificial food colorings and preservatives.
"With all those words on the ingredient list you can't understand, your body just doesn't know what to do with them," Elbert-Burkemper said. "So it's hard for me to completely agree with the research."
Talking to customers and hearing their stories of health improvements since going organic has provided Elbert-Burkemper with much of her confidence in the health benefits of organic food. She said the Stanford study would have made a more convincing and thorough argument if it had a human element.
"It's a continuing debate," Elbert-Burkemper said. "People ask if it's worth the extra cost and if the health benefits are worth it. I think we will continue to see studies and articles discussing whether or not it is better."
The reasons some of the regular customers shop at the Co-Op, Siler said, are to support the local farming community and eat healthier. He said the pesticides in most conventional foods are like poison.
"We have a lot of new parents shop for their kids here," Siler said. "And sick people, like people with cancer, have had their doctors recommend they eat organic food."
Siler said that part of the organic appeal of their food is not just physical health, but also mental and emotional health. He said many feel better about themselves after eating organic food.
"I think people should do their own personal tests and decide for themselves," Siler said. "Try organic food yourself and if you feel better after eating it, then come back."

The film, optioned from Douglas Brinkley's book Tour of Duty (LINK) describes a Boston Brahmin's odyssey from the Mekong Delta to the helm of a national anti-war movement. IF it makes the target wide-release September, pre E-Day, release date, Butler's work could make major headway with the "Who is John Kerry?" problem.
Also please Note: Stekler's oeuvre is worth knocking off early for the 4:45 pm ET full-length showing, also Thursday.
His Texas-as-political-microcosm case study chronicles a 2002 race for a state representative seat in central Texas where Evangelical Christian Republican incumbent Rick Green, faces-off against 24-year-old Democratic political ingénue, Patrick Rose LINK.
At the outset, the Lone Star's devotion to what Karl Rove brands a George W. Bush conservatism makes the outcome seem predetermined.
The elevator pitch: two candidates with dramatically opposed political platforms -- one with major political backing (think video endorsement from Charleton Heston) but some political baggage (alleged links to a Ponzi scheme, etc.) -- the other with the ink barely dry on his Princeton diploma but dogged door-to-door campaign determination and good looks (as one potential voter puts it "you're one hot [explicative]!!") -- all set against the backdrop of rapidly shifting voter demographics.
Peppered throughout is analysis from Rove, Richards, Begala, and Ivins (who muses on the essential "Elvis quality" for political success.)
And speaking of The King, did we mention (No, we didn't . . . ) that one other film will be excerpted as part of the panel set-up -- the early '90s period piece "Elvis and Us," Mary Marsh and Mark Halperin's look at life on the trail with a certain then-Arkansas governor running for the first time for president.

Tunisian MPs talk during a session at the National Constituent Assembly on January 8, 2014 in Tunis. AFP PHOTO / FETHI BELAID
TUNIS, Tunisia: Tunisia's Constitutional Assembly has appointed a new commission to oversee elections in 2014, paving the way for the resignation of the current Islamist prime minister.
The assembly finished voting on the nine members of the High Electoral Commission just before midnight Wednesday. Its members include judges, legal experts, as well as finance and IT experts.
Prime Minister Ali Larayedh of the moderate Islamist Ennahda Party said this week he would step down in favor of caretaker prime minister, Mehdi Jomaa, once the commission had been chosen.
Tunisia's political transition has been deadlocked for months following the assassination of an opposition politician.
The process restarted once the government agreed to resign in favor of a cabinet of technocrats.
The assembly is in the final stages of approving a new constitution.

Suzanne Fields: The gallows for a Christian
There's a narrow band of outrage for 21st-century women in America. There's the occasional sling and the odd arrow aimed our way, but women can stand up to men when men need standing up to, and pay no price for it. Women of the First World enjoy the luxury of free speech and the separation of church and state, blessings unimaginable in the grim places of the world.
Women in the West thus have a particular responsibility to focus a light on cruelty to women elsewhere. Sometimes one brave woman can illuminate the horror of certain strains of Islam that make the oppression of women an everyday part of their lives. Meriam Ibrahim, 27, is a mother of two in Sudan, the youngest less than a fortnight old, and who is under a death sentence for refusing to renounce her Christian faith and convert to Islam. Her heartbreaking story comes to us as through a medieval lens colored by ignorance, barbarism and fanaticism.
The headline across a British tabloid tells the gruesome story like it is: "Wife set to hang for marrying Christian."
The photograph in the newspapers shows Ibrahim as a beautiful bride in a long white dress, a sparkling tiara, with her arm draped around Daniel Wani, her husband, an American citizen, on her wedding day in 2011. Now she is shackled to the floor in a filthy Sudan prison cell with her toddler son and her new daughter. The court was not without Sharia mercy: She has two years time to wean the infant before she is to be lashed 100 times, and then what is left of her is to be hanged until she is dead.
She was convicted of apostasy, the abandonment of a religious belief, and adultery, capital crimes under Sharia law. She's considered an adulteress since the Sudanese court vacated her marriage because in Sudan a marriage between a Muslim and a Christian is invalid, although she is a Christian married to a Christian. This is the Muslim version of Catch-22.
She told the court: "I am a Christian, and I am not an apostate." She never abandoned Islam because she has never been a Muslim. Her mother was a Christian and her Muslim father abandoned the family when she was 6. But Sharia law dictates that the child of a Muslim is a Muslim. Her husband, now a biochemist, had fled Sudan during its brutal civil war, settled in New Hampshire and became an American citizen.
The semi-good news is that the outrage has gone both viral and global. Millions are peppering Sudanese embassies and legations across the world with protests and pleas for her freedom.
Ibrahim's plight has particularly outraged Europeans. Leaders of Britain's three main political parties, Prime Minister David Cameron and the archbishop of Canterbury are agitating for her release. The State Department insists that it is "fully engaged," whatever that means. Neither President Obama, who has been busy trading terrorist chiefs for a captured American soldier who may be a deserter (or worse), nor the first lady, always looking for a cause, have signed a petition or said anything to add to the international pressure.

If star trek 2 is successful could CBS make more star trek attractions

Re: If star trek 2 is successful could CBS make more star trek attract
Any TV series that's going to be made depends on the next movie to be a success. Once might be a fluke, but twice means Star Trek is bankable now.
Then Robert Orci can pitch CBS on a series. Based on what he's said publicly, that seems to be the overall plan. That would segue nicely with the third movie and TV premiere hitting the same year w/n months of each other.
Video games will be viable in any case.

- " This is a clean, hostel in a great location if you want to shop, see sights and go out for night, however if you want to get any sleep at all do not stay here, it is on top of a nightclub that plays music until four every morning, no sleep is to be had at all! "

- " Super nice, clean hotel, right in the heart of Liverpool 1. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Basically a hotel with bunk beds. "

- " To me, hostels are for those who are out of town, needing accommodation. This hostel lets local drunks off the street to "sleep it off" due to the metros not running. I had two of these in my room who came in at 4 in the morning turning on all the lights and talking extremely loud on their phones. "

- " Totally recommended for everyone visiting Liverpool. It's a lite bit noisy because of the pubs that are really near but using ear plugs is sorted! (they provide at reception for free). The hostel is modern, clean, and has everything that you need, like 2 plugs in every bed, which is not always common in hostels and is very helpful :) Thanks for everything guys (specially to the lad who took me to the bus station in his taxi :D) "

- " Although this is a big hostel (for a solo traveler anyway), I really enjoyed my stay here. The bar connected had a great atmosphere and their couch/tables were cozy (especially while waiting for midnight bus). Staff was so kind, towels were free, breakfast bought was quite tasty, and I met loads of great people in my room. Cons: guest kitchen in basement wasn't well equipped and there's no actual common area except for bar. Room was decent--nothing special. "
