Study: Tar sands oil carries no increased risk to pipelinesBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | July 04,2013MONTPELIER — Some environmentalists may be overstating fears about the corrosive effects of tar sands oil on pipelines like the one across northern New England, according to a new study published by the National Academy of Sciences.
Possible pipeline corrosion by tar sands oil has been cited by opponents of both a possible reversal of flow in the northern New England pipeline and the Keystone XL pipeline proposed to carry tar sands oil from western Canada to refineries in Texas.
Opponents say moving the oil through the aging pipeline would be a threat because it is thicker and more corrosive than the regular crude it now carries, making it more likely to spill and cause an environmental disaster.
They also say that when burned, the fuel contributes more greenhouse gas emissions than lighter crude.
In Vermont, environmental official Kirsten Sultan ruled in April that a plan to reverse the flow of the New England pipeline, which now flows east to west from Maine to Montreal, would require a new permit under state law.
The pipe's owner, the Portland Pipe Line Corp., is asking Sultan to reconsider. On Tuesday, its lawyer, Peter Van Oot, wrote to Sultan and asked her to take into account a study released June 26 by the Transportation Research Board, an affiliate of the National Academy of Sciences.
The NAS is a private, nonprofit organization chartered by Congress to advise the federal government on scientific matters. The study said there did not appear to be increased risk from shipping tar sands oil on pipelines that otherwise would carry traditional crude oil. "The committee does not find any causes of pipeline failure unique to the transportation of" tar sands oil, the study said. The committee also said it found no aspects of the oil that would make it more likely than other crude oils to affect its transportation.
The American Petroleum Institute welcomed the findings, noting that Canadian crude oils have been transported safely in the U.S. for 40 years.
"All crude oils have to meet the same criteria when put in a pipeline, which protects the pipeline and communities along its route, as well as the quality of all transported crudes," the API's pipeline director, Peter Lidiak, said in a statement.
One person outspoken about perceived dangers of shipping tar sands oil via pipelines is Jim Murphy, senior attorney with the National Wildlife Federation's Northeast regional office in Montpelier.
Murphy wrote in a blog post Monday that the study "is no surprise and provides no comfort." He said the study did not consider several key issues, one being that when tar sands oil does leak, it sinks to the bottom rather than floating on the surface of water, making cleanup much more difficult.
"The study did not look at how this substance behaves after it spills," Murphy wrote.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Officials from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources are going to be holding a...

Rated 3 out of 5Â by JessLJ Great idea but needs work I was so excited to order this shirt and couldn't wait for it to get to my house. When it got here, I tried it on and was disappointed. The shoulders are weird and poofy. My fiancee said it looked like a pirate shirt. I put it in my closet for a couple of days thinking I would like it but I tried it on again and I just couldn't do it. It would be so cute if they did something different with the shoulders! 2.10.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Loveorhate Vintage Look I love the unique embroidery that makes this top beautiful. However, I don't like the washed out color that makes the top look like it was worn. The top is roomy, but I do not recommend sizing down. I am 34D, and small fits me just fine. 1.20.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by akmiller Absolutely Gorgeous! I bought this in the purple. It's very roomy, so I got the XS when I usually wear a S or M. I went away on a trip and accidentally left it behind. I missed it so much, I ordered a 2nd one. It's one of my favorites! 1.14.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by gossamerdreams not so fabulous on a petite... The beadwork is absolutely beautiful but i found the fit not so flattering in the shoulder region. I am petite 5'4'' 105 lbs 32C and the fitted sleeves were way outside my shoulders in XS...also i find the blue color quite dull and the neutral color totally transparent 11.28.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Shiriapitah Disappointed I first saw this top online,bought it in fp soho.(purchased the night blue color).fit was good,sleeves a little long.For reference im 5'3 & 124 lbs & bought a small.the only flaw with this top is the color,it looks so different in the picture!!i read the other reviews,i think they got the right one,the one pictured.but mine looks so dull,still can't decide if i should return it though.I love FP 11.26.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lisaizzykate Simply elegant ~ This is a beauty. If you want a truly special and comfortable top- buy it. It does run a bit large but is meant to be flowy so i would be cautious if sizing down. The overall design on the shirt and the embroidery make it truly unique and the material is high quality. It is exactly as pictured and is one of my favorite tops this season. 11.19.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by fpnicolee Beautiful Detail This is a beautiful shirt! The beaded detailing at the top really adds to the shirt. It's definitely a little roomy, so I would suggest sizing down. 10.28.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by reichercv73 EYE CATCHER! This is also one of my favorites this yrs. top! It is exactly the same as pictured on the model. Outstanding design,it is very feminine and sexy!

Talent and depth usually turn out to be a recipe for success in sports.
The Bowie High School girls' track and field team put both traits on display on their way to capturing the state Class 4A outdoor championship Saturday at Morgan State University in Baltimore.
The Bulldogs had qualifiers in every event except pole vault and 1,600 relay and piled on 92 points to cruise past second-place Thomas S. Wootton, which finished with 64.
Three months following their indoor state championship and a year after winning the outdoor, the Bulldogs reigned supreme, to the delight of longtime coach Richard Andrulonis.
"I've been coaching 31 years and this is the best team I've ever had," Andrulonis said. "The thing is we're so balanced, it's unbelievable. We've got people in every event. We've got great coaches. We've got great athletes and we're starting to get a number of athletes full scholarships. It was just an outstanding performance. It's a nice feeling, that's for sure."
A big part of the Bulldogs' success was junior Lexus Ramsey, who won the 100 and 200 meters after capturing both events at the 4A South Region finals a week ago.
"I mainly wanted to focus on my drive phase during the race," Ramsey said following her 12.05-second finish in the 100. "I counted my 68 steps to the finish. I'm very satisfied because it's my first state title."
Bulldogs' senior Antonella Taylor capped off a stellar career with a triumph in the girls' shot put (42 feet, 3 inches). Taylor plans to attend Louisville University on a full scholarship.
The Bulldogs team of Briana Gooding, Taylor Williams, Janice George and Ramsey won the girls' 400 relay with a time of 47.57 seconds.
George talked about how the Bulldogs pulled out the state title.
"A lot of people think our team is really big, but there are only like 10 of us and we're all like horses," said George, who took second in the 400 and 200 and plans to attend San Diego State University on a full scholarship. "We all do like four events."
The Henry A. Wise team of Chase Powell, Kenneth Scott-Kelow, Chris Brizzard and Joel Thomas won the Class 4A boys' 400 relay with a time of 42.83 seconds. The Pumas, the defending state champions, finished third this year behind Northwest and Clarksburg.
Few in the state are as dominant in the 400 meters as Largo High's Marcell Preston.
Preston captured his first two state titles of his career with victories in the boys' Class 2A 300 and 500 during the indoor campaign.
Preston grabbed more hardware Saturday afternoon with his 49.41-second victory in boys' Class 2A 400 final.
"I pretty much wanted to continue to do the same as I did during the indoor season," Preston said. "It's been the best season I've had in high school track and field. I wanted to do well to begin the outdoor season like I did during the indoor season. I just kept that winning perspective onto the outdoor season.
Preston also captured the 200 meters (21.64 seconds).
Frederick Douglass senior Modesty Lorick felt that calamity was unfolding as she step over the fourth hurdle in her girls' Class 2A 100 hurdles final.
Lorick had clip the hurdle with her left foot and found herself in an unfamiliar position — third place — in a race she has consistently run in her career.
But the last 50 meters of the race Lorick surged to pull out a narrow victory in 14.54 seconds.
How did it happen? Lorick could not come up with an explanation herself.
"I don't even know how I was able to pull it back together. I just thank God that's all," said Lorick, who took second in the 300 hurdles.
Lorick's junior teammate, Anisah Teach, won the girls' Class 2A long jump title with a leap of 17 feet, .75 inches.
The Douglass High team of Rico Gomez, Tyrel Harrison, Duane Levy and Devonte Williams took home the boys' 1,600 relay crown in 3:28.01.

25 Years of Humorous Wisdom from Cathy
In 1976 Cathy Guisewite became the first woman to break the "paper ceiling" of the comic pages with her comic strip Cathy, the first widely syndicated humor strip by a female cartoonist. Millions of fans read Cathy each day in one of 1,500 newspapers. The strip was revolutionary not simply because it features a woman, but also deals honestly with the conflicting emotions of women. Topics for the strip have evolved since 1976 from issues like the right to work to the difficulties of having a career and a family, but broader themes remain the same. Guisewite identifies these themes as "the four basic guilt groups-food, love, mom and work." Although her own life has changed in many ways since starting the comic strip, she insists that the character Cathy and its artist share much in common. "We're both trying to be dynamic business people, nurturing homeowners, loving partners, environmentally correct citizens, financial wizards, loyal friends, community activists . . . and a size five all at once." She adds, "also, we're trying to find the appropriate outfit and matching shoes for each life role."
No matter how much of a struggle it may be for Cathy in the comic strip, Guisewite herself seems to be balancing things with great success: she has received the National Cartoonists Society's Ruben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year and an Emmy for her first animated television special featuring Cathy.
Coincidentally, 25 years ago Guisewite created Cathy and CMC went coed. Two strokes of brilliance!
Cathy Guisewite's visit to CMC is sponsored by the Berger Institute of Work, Family, and Children and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum. The dinner is for CMC persons only; the lecture is open to all.

The 27-year-old centre-back has reportedly attracted the attention of national team boss Roy Hodgson after a series of consistent displays for the Magpies.
Taylor, whose progress has been hampered by injury in recent seasons, got close to his Three Lions debut when he was an unused substitute against Germany in 2007.
And the former England Under 21 player remains hopeful the long wait could be over soon.
"It's flattering to hear people talk about me and England," said Taylor, quoted in The Sun.
"It's amazing because of the amount of times I've tried to get in the squad.
"Even last season I tried and it didn't happen but I must keep plugging away with Newcastle and maintain my form."
"I hope with the help of my team-mates it'll get me there.
"I feel more consistent. I started well last season and have taken off in the current campaign.
"I got injured against Chelsea but since coming back I've been in great shape. If I stay injury free I'll keep my fingers crossed.
"It's been hard work in the gym but it has helped me out a lot."

iPad mini installed in the dash of a VW Jetta as an in car entertainment front end
The guys from Soundwaves of Tampa are renowned for always looking to install the latest in car entertainment systems. Thankfully with the release of the smaller iPad mini, staying at the forefront has become much easier. The iPad mini is the perfect size and fit as a front end to a top of the range car audio system.
Here is our latest iPad Mini install done into a 2010 VW Jetta. This demo shows you the integration with the iPad Mini and the Sony CDX-GS600BT controlled by Sony's App Remote.
The iPad mini is integrated with a Sony audio system and controlled via the Sony App on the iPad mini. It is certainly a very nice system and not that expensive to put the components together. The Sony system costs around $200 and the iPad mini from $329. Of course you will have to allow some install costs for the guy's at Soundwaves; but even then a system that can offer all of that functionality along with full GPS capabilities inbuilt in your car would cost a lot more from a car manufacturer as a pre-installed option.
Personally I think this is a great option and one that car manufacturers should offer themselves. We already have Siri Eyes Free that allows you to control your iPhone from your in car entertainment system so offering full iPad support shouldn't be that hard to do. Of course there is always the danger that having an iPad in your car dashboard may be very distracting for drivers and very interesting to thieves!

iPad mini installed in the dash of a VW Jetta as an in car entertainment front end
Am i the only one here wondering how the hell he got the Google map app on the iPad?
Google Maps for iPhone works on the iPad mini with LTE (and built-in GPS). As you can tell, when he pulls up the keyboard in the app shown in 2X, it's the blown-up version, not the native iPad version.
This is the original iPad mini install. These guys have been installing iPad's for years. They do great work and are very funny.
And if your iPad Mini has music in it, you should download Harken from the App Store. Ideal for car mounted iPads.


text: In March 2006, then-Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., found the notion of raising the debt ceiling quite distasteful. "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure,†he said. "It is a sign that the U.S. Government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. … Leadership means that 'the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt limit.†He did. It passed narrowly – by a vote of 52-48. hmmm, he said leadership failure. that's odd, who knew obama was a seer.

Bottom view of the 25 million volt tandem electrostatic accelerator of the Holifield Heavy Ion Research Facility.
Physics researchers at ORNL seek to answer fascinating questions about our Universe:
Our research staff address these questions by developing experimental techniques and detector systems, performing experiments at national and international user facilities, and developing computational nuclear theory and astrophysics simulations that are ultimately used to guide experiments and evaluate experimental results.
In the area of Fundamental Symmetries, researchers use unique tools to investigate neutron decay and scattering to determine parameters of the Standard Model. At the Spallation Neutron Source, researchers are preparing for and will conduct an Electric Dipole experiment. Our staff also lead the Majorana Demonstrator project to develop the germanium detector technology necessary to measure whether the neutrino is its own anitparticle.
In the area of relativistic heavy ion physics, the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN near Geneva Switzerland and the PHENIX experiment at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory are two prominent experiments in which our staff also play leading roles.
We are leading experts in advanced detection techniques for a variety of nuclear physics problems, particularly in the design of advanced gamma-ray, charged, and neutral particle detectors.

yet more thoughts
Many smart people are arguing against the bailout, and I need to say at this point that I feel it is an open question as to whether or not it is a wise or prudent move. But there's a lot to attend to about it that I think is getting squeezed out of the discussion.
First, I think we should be pessimistic when it comes to trying to gauge the financial impact of not bailing out the Big Three. I think even those least disposed to supporting the bailout would admit that we are going to have some major financial damage if these huge companies should fail. There isn't going to be a happy ending to this, no matter which way we turn, and I think those who are opposed to the bailout should be careful not to minimize the kind of damage we are going to see. These companies cast long shadows. Paul Krugman argued on the This Week yesterday that the automakers could not pursue Chapter 11 bankruptcy, because of the lack of available credit, and would have to slide into Chapter 7, liquidation. To me, that's a huge question. I'm much more supportive of a bailout if the alternative is Chapter 7, than I am if the alternative is Chapter 11.
In the unlikely but definitely possible event that we're talking about real liquidation, we're in for some very tough times for a lot of people, and a really discouraging unemployment situation. That may, in fact, be the case no matter what-- as my peers have been telling me, we might merely be taking jobs from others by bailing out the automakers. In any event, a real collapse of any or all of the Big Three is going to result in a lot of people without jobs. That may actually be a bit of a happy coincidence, because we are in a unique time in American politics, in a position where a very broad range of economic thinkers agree that we need some sort of government driven stimulus, and specifically a jobs stimulus. My question is whether those opposed to the bailout would be amenable to a broad retraining and jobs program for those displaced by GM failing-- for both blue collar and white collar employees. (Management has mouths to feed too.)
If the problem with bailing out the automakers is really just basic insolvency, then I would think many would indeed be sympathetic to a real jobs program for these people. After all, we're talking about the same sort of thing even absent the collapse of one of the American automakers. It does seem, from my uneducated perch, that many people not ordinarily disposed to government intervention in the economy are supporting a major government stimulus. However, if someone is a dedicated proponent of the free market, the are unlikely to enjoy the prospect a major government push for retraining and job growth. That's also large government expenditure, it's also introducing government inefficiency into the system, it's also an affront to free market principles.
Many people are saying "well we've got to do something," which makes my trick knee act up-- usually when you're saying that you've got to do something, anything, you're in bad shape. Then again, that pretty much seems to be the way the wind is blowing no matter how you cut it.
I know attaching the "green" term to any old thing is an annoying and shallow practice. It does seem like we have a really unusual opportunity, though, where we have a pressing environmental problem, a need for a big public expenditure to stimulate the economy, and the political will to really undertake a major infrastructure project. No government expansion of public transit and clean energy production is going to be perfect, but I think this is a real opportunity to make some strides, both environmentally and in job creation.

I would definitely agree that a Chapter 7 bankruptcy would be far worse for the economy than a Chapter 11 filing. But my resistance to the bailout--and to so-called "jobs programs"--is deeper than the fact that I think such programs have unintended consequences. I'm also pretty convinced, though amenable to persuasion, that these stimulus packages and retraining programs just don't work.
Retraining large numbers of people for new jobs doesn't produce anything other than another hole in the budget unless there are actually sufficient jobs available to employ those people with their new skillset. Where are these people going to work? Construction? There's a slowdown on, in case you hadn't noticed, and a lot of those "jobs" are currently occupied by illegals. Heavy industry is all but dead. The only industries I see that are massively short-staffed either require post-secondary/advanced degrees (teaching and nursing come to mind) or are menial service jobs. And the service jobs aren't actually short of warm bodies as much as they are warm bodies that are worth a damn. In any case, I don't think the retail and food service industries are actually positioned to soak up an extra few hundred thousand potential employees, especially concentrated in the northern midwest.
What we need is a new industry, and I think that the government, and in fact all governments, are simply incapable of creating these things. Talk of creating a "clean energy economy" is just magical thinking. The only industries that the government is actually capable of keeping going on its own are defense contractors and the military, and I don't think that a massive expansion of the military would be a healthy direction for our country at this particular moment. It is simply impossible for the government to set radical new economic directions. The Chinese tried it, and tens of millions of people died in a three-year period.
I think we need to come to terms with the fact that there isn't anything to be done. The best we can hope for here is to mitigate the human cost by alleviating symptoms by things like extending unemployment benefits and expanding the credit for charitable donations. That I'm all in favor of. But "stimulus" packages? Is there any empirical reason to think that these things actually do anything like what they're supposed to?

I am against the bailout, but I would enthusiastically support spending a lot to extend unemployment benefits, provide retraining, etc. The government could even provide the DIP financing that would allow GM to go into chapter 11, rather than liquidate.
I think there is a false dichotomy when people say are we going to bail out the big 3 or leave autoworkers in the cold. Bailing out GM directly robs them of their chance to restructure in a meaningful way. And there is a lot we can do to ease the pain, while not encouraging GM to continue operating as a losing company.
We can't allow the Republicans to validate their vision of liberals as people who want government spending for the sake of more spending. Or similarly that liberals just "throw money at problems". If we're going to spend billions (or actually hundreds of billions) on economic stimulus, we have to spend it smartly. Let's make sure it's spent in ways that stimulate the economy, help workers, encourage energy independence, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and (maybe above all) encourage innovation.

- ryan said...
faith healer, see, when you give that list of things that we should make sure we're spending money on, all I hear is "throw money at it and it will get better." Making a list of things at which you will be throwing money does not actually change the fact that that's what you're doing.
How exactly is government expenditure supposed to promote energy independence? We currently consume almost 21 million barrels of oil per day, while producing about 7.5 million. How is spending government money supposed to change that? Drilling offshore or in ANWR? Utility companies would love to build nuclear plants, but they don't need more money to do that. They couldn't build a new nuke plant if they wanted to. And they do, actually. Nuclear power is the only way to effectively reduce our dependence upon foreign oil without a massive drop in energy consumption, and lack of capital isn't the thing that's stopping our nuclear buildout.
Lowering greenhouse gas emissions sounds good too, but how is that supposed to happen, exactly? And how is a spending package supposed to accomplish that? Even if your spending package managed to magically reduce gasoline consumption by 50%, we'd still be burning almost 15 million barrels of fossil fuels per day, mostly for power generation. Dollars don't even burn all that well, so I don't see how spending is realistically related to greenhouse emissions. Again: you want to reduce greenhouse gasses, start letting utilities build nuke plants, which they can do without the need for much in the way of government money.
Helping workers? Sure, I'm in favor of expanded unemployment benefits too, but how is that not "throwing money at it"? Job retraining? See my first comment: retraining them to do what? If you've got some magical new source of employment, more power to you, but if you don't how is this not just spending money to spend it? Maybe we feel compelled to spend this money out of a sense of social awareness, but let's be honest about that, hmm?
"Stimulate the economy?" Sounds great. The US economy will be almost $12 trillion this year. A few billion isn't going to make much of a difference there. The $700 billion financial bailout doesn't seem to have accomplished much, as we're not even out of the "complete meltdown" woods yet. You want to really jumpstart things, you may need two, three times that or more. How many hundred billion dollars do we need to throw at this before you'll be satisfied that it just doesn't work?
Why do people persist in the magical belief that the government can actually do anything about these problems? It certainly would be nice if it were true, but I don't see any reason to think it's even probable. I'm not actually opposed to the government doing things. I'm no free market ideologue. I don't actually really believe in the "free market" as a concept: it's incoherent. "The free market" doesn't secure human happiness or financial stability. I think libertarianism is actually antithetical to human flourishing. But I also think that while the government may not be able to promote many of the things we think are good, it is entirely capable of screwing them up.
Either come up with a rigorous explanation that connects government spending with any of the things you want to accomplish or stop proposing massively expensive boondoggles. Seriously.

The consensus among many people, ryan, seems to be that we have a unique problem here, where the various nuances of this crisis make the traditional methods of solving recession impotent. Many people who are educated on the issue are insisting that things like managing interest rates are just not going to be up to the task this time around, and that the only way to spur growth is if the government gets involved. Recessions require stimulus, and though we'd love to have that stimulus be organic and private, that may not be a viable option right now.
They could be wrong, of course. But I don't find many people actually arguing to get government involved for its own sake, just out of necessity.
- November 17, 2008 at 1:37 PM
- faith healer said...
ryan You're right--there are some pretty large leaps to go from "promote energy independence" to actually accomplishing it. You won't be satisfied hear that I consider the policy details of accomplishing all of those things as outside the scope of my comment.
My main point was that even though we're in a crisis, let's not take our eye off the ball. Let's try to make sure that the money we spend on stimulus is also helping to achieve our strategic medium and longterm goals. I listed some of the goals that I think are important and I believe other progressives think are important.
You may not believe that government is capable of addressing these problems effectively. I guess that's one of the main differences between liberals and libertarians.
I do believe the government can accomplish a lot if it's run effectively and strategically.
To circle back to your questions about how government can promote energy independence. Yes some more drilling might help. Reducing energy consumption is possible too. The government can fund more research on technology that increases fuel efficiency. We can generate a larger share of our power from solar, wind, geothermal, and yes, nuclear. Again, you're right that nuclear power currently has too much red tape to proceed--I certainly won't argue against that point. But people are concerned about its safety, both in terms of the operations of the plant and in waste disposal.
Anyway, I think there are plenty of good proposals out there to advance these goals, e.g., at CAP. You're telling me to either spell out all the policies that would achieve these goals or STFU. I don't personally have all the answers, but I hope as a society we can work toward getting there.

Ryan is correct in arguing that retraining, at least as traditionally conceived, is unlikely to be effective.
But while I am completely opposed to a bailout, and I am a fairly straight-line libertarian, I do recognize the need for social safety nets, and extending unemployment benefits is a completely logical option. I also recognize that there is something fundamentally wrong with condemning laid-off workers to what will inevitably become an economic cess-pool.
If the Big Three wind up going Chapter 7 (admittedly not the best outcome), my suspicion is that at least some of their Midwest plants would be bought up by foreign-based manufacturers...there's also the less-distinct possibility that they would get bought at cut-rate prices by someone looking to start up a new auto manufactuer. That would at least bring back some percentage (though probably not even half) of the lost jobs relatively quickly.
What to do about the remainder of workers, though? While they may bear some indirect responsibility for the mess, it is extremely tenuous at best - for the most part, those who were in the unions when the most destructive deals were made are retired. And to the extent the UAW's leadership has continued to contribute to the problem (and it has), I'm not sure how appropriate it is to blame individual members for the failings of their leaders, particularly if you take a trusteeship (rather than a delegate) view of union representation. I tend to think a formal retraining program would have tremendous problems - government is terribly bad at predicting what jobs will and will not be needed, and there's really no way of making those jobs appear in a particular locale.
One thing that would be superior than a bailout of the manufacturers, I suspect, would be to give much of the money for the bailout directly to those who become unemployed as a result. This would take the form of vouchers (or something to that effect) that could be used either for relocation expenses or for education expenses. Maybe you could even allow workers to pool their vouchers together to form seed money for their own business venture.
If 2 million people became unemployed (and did not quickly get new jobs when their old factories are bought up) as a result of the Big Three going Chapter 7, this would leave approximately $12,500 per unemployed person. That would be more than enough money to fund a relocation (keeping in mind that they're getting unemployment while looking to relocate) or find an appropriate retraining program, etc.
To be sure - this is an imperfect solution. For instance, the relocations would in the short term contribute to further depressing home values in the Midwest. But an exodus from those areas has been underway for quite some time, anyways.
I can see an argument for some sort of a "stimulus" in the form of more spending on transportation infrastructure (whether it be "green" or otherwise), which is largely in need of an overhaul anyhow (and therefore a legitimate public good). But the areas where those improvements are most worthwhile are in areas where population is increasing, not where it is decreasing. So even then, relocation assistance becomes necessary.
Either way, I think we have to resign ourselves to a significant reshaping of the American Midwest if the people who currently populate the region are to have any opportunity to get on with their lives.

According to reports provided by the Aiken Department of Public Safety:
A 29-year-old Beech Island man was detained for disorderly conduct after entering a store on Richland Avenue and acting suspiciously, at times knocking over merchandise.

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
James, if this post is in the wrong section move/delete with free will Not strickly verses that show not all will be saved but still something to consider I think.The 12 had a close relationship with Jesus during His ministry. Some for about 33 years because Jesus was (close) family.They had actually heard His teachings. Saw His miracles. Lived in the same culture. Etc.When Jesus was arrested they denied they knew Him.When the women reported to the 12 He was resurrected they didn't believe the women.Thomas did only believe when after he was allowed to touch Jesus' wounds.Were they doomed for being unbelievers? Nope, Jesus just returned and gave them that extra proof they needed.
My faith is that One is saved by faith alone, not by any works of any kind, including not denying Him.

Comments about GeoSafari® Talking Planetary Mat:
I bought this to use in our homeschooling. I was sad to see Pluto wasn't included, though it was disclosed in the description. It worked straight out of the box. Busy moms LOVE that! My 5 and 4 year olds were very interested in it, but my 23 month old went crazy over it! Keep toddlers away! The voice prompts won't continue if another planet gets pressed. This frustrated my 4yo who wanted to hear the information, but I couldn't keep my 23 month old from stomping across it and touching all the planets over and over. We'll play with this when the little one is napping!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A big hit with kids
By Mike
from Pittsburgh, PA
About Me First Time Parent
At the Public Star Parties and Educational Outreach events that our astronomy club hosts, planets are always a popular target for telescopes. Kids especially love to see the cloud bands of Jupiter, and I have yet to meet someone who isn't blown away by seeing the Rings of Saturn with their own eyes. So when I set up this Planetary Mat recently for a group of kids, it was an instant hit.The Mat itself is glossy plastic and well constructed. I've had it out on sidewalks, concrete floors, and bare ground and aside from some scuff marks has come through with flying colors. The scale is also one tough customer. Like any scale, it does require a hard, flat surface or else it doesn't measure weights very accurately. Soft carpets and grass don't work very well. The kids at our events loved the missions, and it became a game to see who could guess what each child would weigh on a specific planet. The narration by Neil deGrasse Tyson is well done. The sound bites are easy to understand, and several children immediately recognized his voice from the recent Cosmos series reboot. Even when we're not at a star party, my daughter loves to set this up and pretend she's an astronaut travelling through the solar system. All I have to do is turn it on, and she knows how to do the rest.If you have a child that loves space, or want them to learn, you'll love this mat!

Dog Training Website – techniques, tips & advice
Some dogs are difficult to train doesn't mean that there is something wrong with them. Contrary to exactly what many people think, these pet dogs are not in any way foolish. In fact, these pet dogs may even have rather a high level of knowledge – high sufficient to let them get what they want when they desire it.
If training is really not your favorite possibly a board and train program would be best for you. You simply drop your pet dog off for 28 days, 4 weeks, and at the end you return a trained pet dog. It is easy for you and yet very efficient. Your program should include a minimum of 2 private lessons where the fitness instructor teaches you exactly what your canine already knows.
The last thing to consider is whether you wish to use a trainer that is a treat trainer or a fitness instructor that utilizes motivational techniques without paying off the dogs with food.
Most people do not wish to have to lug deals with in their pockets for the rest of their lives. If that is the way you feel then make sure to ask any trainer that you are considering if they make use of food and move onto another if the answer is yes.
The very best pet dog training Labradocountry.com programs will always take a positive reinforcement approach to motivate your dog. This indicates that you ought to be taking a look at fitness instructors who provide reward based training such as the popular 'clicker' method as opposed to those who penalize inaccurate behavior utilizing choke chains, shock collars and other techniques. The positive technique is much more efficient and will construct self-confidence in your pet dog and in yourself as his handler.
Behavioral science has revealed that with great pet dog training, it will certainly assist you and your pet dog construct a much better relationship and develop a tighter bond together but even more importantly, it will also help your dog suppress any aggressive habits, become more obedient, confident and less afraid of the immediating environments.
And when it pertains to giving good training to your dog, there are two options that you can choose from. The first option is to either go to a puppy training class or participate in the service of a professional dog trainer which can cost a fair bit. Conversely, the less expensive 2nd choice is to train your pet dog personally though your lack of experience could trigger you to do the wrong thing. Yet, problems like these can definitely be minimized by reading and picking up from good pet dog training books.
Canines are in essence come down from modern wolves. While domestication has actually moistened or removed many qualities, some key natural instincts still remain. Like wolves, canines are pack animals. What does this mean?
Well, there are several traits that derive from being a pack animal. The essential ones when it concerns training are dogs are normally sociable, they are made use of to routine and they are made use of to a social structure (i.e. the famed alpha male).
As friendly animals dogs flourish on the communication with other dogs. A dog does not consider you as a human however rather an amusing looking pet dog. For that reason, pet dogs thrive on the communication with you. Similar to a wild wolf, rejected by the pack, if you starve a pet dog of this communication, they will certainly become miserable and very upset.

Fabulous Fruit Desserts
Choose-a-Fruit Fools
No one knows how fools (a centuries-old blend of whipped cream and fruit) got their playful name. Maybe it's because, with just 4 ingredients, you'd be foolish not to make one!
Any-Fruit Sorbet
Our five-ingredient sorbet is an instant antidote to summer's scorch—and so pretty, too! The recipe works with most melons, berries or citrus fruits, and you can make it in an ice cream maker or refrigerator freezer. Plus, it's fat free!
Pistachio Pavlova with Fresh Berries
Mildly nutty meringue cradles fresh berries in this classic dessert named for a ballerina. Use your favorite nut to flavor the meringue. Our Test Kitchen recommends pistachios, almonds or pecans. Any fruit works: blueberries, kiwi, bananas.
Summer Fruit Freeze
Connie Alger of North Manchester, Indiana, sent us the recipe for this fruity specialty that blends juice concentrate with other fruits for a make-ahead dessert.
"Not only is it refreshing in hot weather, it's refreshing after a heavy meal," Connie says. "Little ones and adults all love this."
Just freeze the ingredients together in a container. Then let it stand 30 to 60 minutes before scraping it off for a slushy ice. You'll think you're eating a sweet snowball.
Very Blueberry Pie
This easy-to-make pie calls for pouring a warm sugar glaze over a generous amount of fresh blueberries or raspberries.
This Dutch specialty, a puff pancake, bakes into a bowl shape that cradles a pile of sliced fresh peaches. The recipe comes from the Hidden Lake Bed and Breakfast in Jonesboro, Illinois, where the pannekoeken gets a dollop of sour cream and a generous sprinkling of powdered sugar.
Cherry-Berry Smoothie
This quick-and-easy blender drink, from the Michigan Cherry Committee, combines cherries, milk, yogurt, blueberries or raspberries, juice concentrate, honey and vanilla.
Vegan Chocolate-Blueberry Parfait
"This is one of our signature vegan desserts," says Sarah Slater of Casa Nueva restaurant in Athens, Ohio. "Any kind of berry will do. Just buy what's in season. Vegans and nonvegans love it."
Mistress Suzanne's Bananas Foster
This cinnamon-spiced New Orleans classic is a popular dessert at Rider's Inn in Painesville, Ohio. Mistress Suzanne's Dining Room at the inn is named for the third wife of the original owner, Joseph Rider.
Berries Romanoff
This easy recipe makes a refreshing dessert-- perfect for a brunch or light dinner. It's also a good recipe for entertaining; prepare the sour-cream sauce the day before your party, and then just layer the sauce and fruit in parfait glasses before serving.
Raspberry Cream Tart
Fresh berries work best in this elegant dessert (frozen berries get too watery). Keep fruit refrigerated and dry and use within a couple of days of purchase.
Peach Breakfast Parfaits
"This very simple fruit dish goes over big," says Mary Jo Smith, describing this parfait from Hidden Lake Bed and Breakfast in Jonesboro, Illinois. Mary Jo serves it in sundae glasses with a swirl of yogurt on top. For a variation, add raspberries to the peaches.
Blueberry Cream Treats
When it's time for the blueberry harvest at DeGrandchamp Farms in South Haven, Michigan, this quick dessert fits the family's busy schedule. It's simple, yet so good.
Strawberry-Blueberry Cookie Crisp
Prep this easy dessert in just 10 minutes, then bake for 25 minutes. Crumbled pecan shortbread cookies form the topping over a fresh fruit filling.
Black-Raspberry-Chip Gelato
You can use fresh black raspberries, blackberries, red raspberries, strawberries or blueberries in this rich gelato.
Cool tip Can't tell a blackberry from a black raspberry? The core of the black raspberry stays on the plant when picked, leaving the familiar hollow in each berry, just like red raspberries.
Peach of a Crumble
Cranberries make this peach crumble special--no surprise, since the recipe comes from Canoe Bay resort near Chetek, Wisconsin. Wisconsin produces more cranberries than any other state in the nation. Serve with your choice of store-bought ice cream if you don't have time to make the Hint-of-Ginger Ice Cream accompaniment.
Rhubarb-Cherry Crunch
This sweet-tart, bright red dessert was featured in the Aledo, Illinois, Rhubarb Festival's Really Rhubarb cookbook.
Peach Upside-Down Cake
The family behind Illinois' Rendleman Orchards has amassed some great peach recipes in 135 years of growing peaches. This cake is no exception. Peach slices and brown sugar form a moist base for the tender, square cake--and when flipped over, that base becomes the topping. We like the cake warm with ice cream.
Choose-A-Fruit Ice Cream
Here's one recipe with three fruit versions to choose from: blackberry, raspberry or peach. For our photo, we made one of each, froze them in 15x10x1 inch pans lined with foil, then cut them into geometric shapes to stack. A purchased fruit sauce tops them off.
Double-Cherry Supreme Pie
Combine fresh (or frozen) cherries with dried, tart cherries for this classic pie, which was pictured on a cover of Midwest Living® .
Strawberry-Walnut Shortcakes
Nuts and orange zest give a crunchy and flavorful twist to thsi summer classic.
Raspberry Custard Brulee
Layers of raspberries and custard topped with lacy caramelized sugar form this elegant yet easy-to-make dessert.
Rhubarb Crunch
Similar to an apple brown betty or fruit crisp, this rustic dessert has a cinnamon topping that blends graham-cracker crumbs and pecans with sugar, butter and bread crumbs.
When you are shopping for fresh rhubarb, avoid limp or thick stalks, which tend to be tougher. You can also use frozen rhubarb to create this dessert. Botanically speaking, rhubarb is a vegetable, but in recipes it's almost always treated as a fruit!
Peach Kuchen
Like any good cook, Mary Jo Smith of Hidden Lake Bed and Breakfast in Jonesboro, Illinois, adjusts her recipes as she prepares them over time. She has fine-tuned the custard layer for Peach Kuchen and added spices to the peaches. If you're in a hurry, substitute a single refrigerated unbaked piecrust for the Kuchen Crust.
Berry Trifle
Mix buttery pound cake, creamy vanilla pudding, soft cream cheese, and fresh berries for a rich comfort-food dessert. To trim calories, try making it with angel food cake, fat-free pudding, and low-fat or fat-free cream cheese.

Today marks the 71st anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. More than 2,400 Americans were killed, and it launched the United States into World War 2. Friday morning a group of local Boy Scouts recognized the anniversary by placing American flags along a College Station street.
Whether you're traveling on two feet; two wheels, or even all fours -- those commuting along Glade Street in College Station are greeted by a wave of patriotism.
"I got to see this great American flag out front and I looked down the street and realized there was one placed in every yard," said College Station resident and Texas A&M student Austen Aaron.
Austen Aaron's house is among 99 other's that is serving as a very colorful reminder of sacrifice.
On December 7th, 1941 Japanese aircraft swarmed the Hawaii sky virtually destroying the U. S. Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor, including most of the U.S. aircraft on the ground. It was 7:45 that Sunday morning and in nine minutes -- the attack that killed more than 2,400 U.S. civilians and servicemen -- was over. Although 71 years has passed since the attack -- America remembers.
"History has a point and you've got to learn the points to the story and learn why we do things," said Aaron. "History tends to repeat itself, so it's just overall, it's really important to learn about it."
Although Pearl Harbor was before Dan Martin's time -- he's leading by example.
"We want people to remember those people that lost their lives on that day. There are a lot of people who are still alive today that vividly remember," said Martin.
Martin is the assistant scout master of Boy Scout Troop 1300. Friday morning Martin and a handful of troop members woke up early and got to work planting 100 U.S. flags on Glade Street all the way from Holleman to Southwest Parkway.
"We started with the flags about 6:30 this morning and finished up around 7:45 so we could get them to school on time," added Martin.
All day the flags were towering high and turning heads; and for many others -- they're rekindling heroic stories from the battlefield.
"My grandfather had two purple hearts and that's the first thing I thought about when I woke up and saw the flags," said Aaron.
Martin says the flag planting was just a small service that honors the extraordinary sacrifice for freedom.
The flags displayed for Pearl Harbor day were at no cost to homeowners, however, for future national holidays, you can help support Troop 1300 by signing up to have a flag placed in your yard on the following national holidays: President's Day 2013, Memorial Day2013, Labor Day 2013, Veterans Day 2013, and many more.
