text: UAHuntsville's total economic impact estimated at nearly $700 million annually JUN 14, 2012 HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The economic impact of The University of Alabama in Huntsville is nearly $700 million annually, according to a recent study by a national consulting company. The Economic Impact of the University of Alabama in Huntsville : Current Economic, Employment, and Governmental Revenue Impacts, Tripp-Umbach UAHuntsville had an economic impact of $684.4 million for 2009-2010 and that impact led to the creation of an estimated 7,773 jobs statewide, according to Tripp Umbach, a nationally recognized Pittsburgh consulting firm. The university affects business in the state of Alabama in two ways: 1) Direct expenditures for goods and services by the university, its employees, students and visitors. This spending supports local businesses, which in turn employ local individuals to sell the goods, and provide the services needed by the university's constituents. 2) Induced or indirect spending within the state of Alabama. The businesses and individuals that receive direct expenditures re-spend this money within the state, thus creating the need for even more jobs. The university's direct impact for the study period was $297.6 million, and indirect impact was judged to be $386.8 million for the total impact of $684.4 million. "This study shows tremendous direct and indirect economic impact that our campus has on the greater Huntsville area," said UAHuntsville President Bob Altenkirch. "But the influence of the campus extends beyond those dollars. The campus is at the center of an 'econsystem' that has positive streams of influence throughout our community." For instance, the econsystem includes: Earning power of college graduates: Students who possess a bachelor's degree earn $900,000 more during their career, or $20,000 annually. This is an extra $375 million paid a year to our nearly 19,000 alumni in Alabama The university's Small Business Development Center assists local companies by signing federal contracts worth about $1 billion using the center's services. Researchers, through the development of lean manufacturing techniques, help Alabama manufacturers be more competitive in the global economy, thus helping preserve thousands of jobs across the state. "UAHuntsville recruits the best minds and retain the brightest young local scholars, thus serving as the center for intellectual development of talent in the community," Altenkirch added. "This role is crucial for the continued successful future development of our area." UAHuntsville received $43.1 million in state appropriations during 2009-2010. The university was able to leverage those dollars and generate an additional $15.88 in the state economy for every $1 invested by the state of Alabama. Through its local spending, as well as its direct and indirect support of jobs, UAHuntsville stabilizes and strengthens the local and statewide tax base. "UAH is an important part of the state and local economy, generating revenue, jobs and spending," the report stated. The university generated an estimated $35 million in tax revenues to state and local governments. Both directly and indirectly, UAHuntsville supported 7,773 jobs in the state of Alabama. The university's direct employment was 3,109 jobs while indirect employment impact was 4,664. Research at UAHuntsville has grown from $65 million in 2008 to $82 million in 2010. During the past five years, UAH research scientists have performed more than $200 million in contract and grants, supported 700 graduate students, received 11 patents and created approximately $1 million in licenses and royalty fees. UAHuntsville attracts millions of dollars to the state in government- and industry-sponsored research and projects. The university's $78.8 million in sponsored research translates into significant economic impact. The current economic impact of UAHuntsville's research enterprise is $168.1 million ($70.9 million direct and $92.2 million indirect.) The university's research operations make tangible and quantifiable economic contributions, according to the report. Along with creating jobs for research staff and support personnel, UAHuntsville scientists are contributing to new product development and technology commercialization. That knowledge and technology transfer has helped start commercial ventures that promote entrepreneurship, economic development and job creation. During FY 2009-2010, the $78.8 million that the university received for research contracts and grants supported 932 jobs. These jobs included not only direct employment of research professionals (405 jobs) but also indirect jobs for supply and equipment vendors, contractors and laborers for the construction and renovation of laboratories, administrators and managers who support the research infrastructure, and jobs created in the community by the disposable income of the scientific workforce. "If the university continues to grow its strong faculty base, it will continue to attract, and consequently spend, increasingly higher levels of research dollars and the number of jobs supported will continue to grow," according to the study's authors. Since 2005, UAHuntsville has received more than $19 million in royalty income from technologies developed at the university. Numerous Alabama companies have been created as a result of research conducted on the campus. Among the companies formed as a result of the university's technology transfer include: TerraSpace, iXpressGenes Inc., Gene Capture, Alamanda Polymers, Halo Monitoring InQ Biosystems, Dawn Research, Rogue IP, Synergia, AT Biosciences, Decision Innovation, Morcam Inc., Stronghold Defense and Southern Cord. For decades, UAHuntsville has partnered with government agencies to improve education, healthcare, and the quality of life throughout the greater Huntsville area and the state. Every college within UAHuntsville is engaged in important service programs, and service learning is deeply ingrained across the university's curricula. The university's total impact on the state of Alabama reaches far beyond the typical economic impact. Tripp Umbach estimates that faculty, staff and students who received their education and training at UAHuntsville generate more than $12.9 million annually in charitable donations and volunteer services. This figure includes donations of $2.9 million to local charitable organizations, as well as a generous amount of hours in volunteer services. The economic value of such services is estimated at nearly $10 million. Tripp Umbach is a nationally recognized consulting firm headquartered in Pittsburgh that developed this study, and has completed thousands of assignments nationally, providing an essential blueprint, through market research, strategic planning and economic impact, for our clients and their communities to generate billions of dollars through new initiatives. About UAHuntsville:The University of Alabama in Huntsville is a doctoral-granting, "very high research activity" institution with approximately 7,700 students. The campus is among U.S. News & World Report's Tier 1 national universities. UAHuntsville is the anchor tenant in Cummings Research Park, the second largest research parks in the United States.

Leisha Hailey kicked off Southwest Airlines flight for kissing girlfriend
There's a special list for air travelers, and it's not the mile-high club. It's the "I've been booted from a Southwest Airlines flight" club. You could be removed for wearing Muslim headwear, crying over an ill parent, wearing saggy pants, or for being an overweight movie director. Or, in the case of an out star on Showtime's The L Word, kissing your girlfriend on a flight from BWI.
Here's the story, according to Leisha Hailey's Twitter account:
Southwest responded that her sexual orientation wasn't at issue, but how heavily Hailey was making out with her girlfriend:
Initial reports indicate that we received several passenger complaints characterizing the behavior as excessive. Our crew, responsible for the comfort of all Customers on board, approached the passengers based solely on behavior and not gender. The conversation escalated to a level that was better resolved on the ground, as opposed to in flight. We regret any circumstance where a passenger does not have a positive experience on Southwest and we are ready to work directly with the passengers involved to offer our heartfelt apologies for falling short of their expectations.

Adrian | Forum Thread | Trail Map
7-10 Miles | Description: The trail offers a little of everything that you will find on trails in Michigan: tight twisty singletrack through heavily wooded areas, open double-track, sweet flowing singletrack with switchbacks, some interesting technical areas (log piles, bridges, rock garden, downhill with drop-offs) and a VERY fast downhill we call Big Bertha. Of course you could always ride it backwards and call it a BIG KICK BUTT climb! The trail is considered moderately technical. There are not many big climbs, but there are three short steep ones with switchbacks in a row. Also there are some off camber climbs as well as on the descents.
Directions: The entrance to the park is just off M52 about 2 miles north of the city limits of Adrian. The road to the park is just after the Mobil station on the right when going north on M52, just before the Quality Farm & Fleet Store and across form the theaters. Take a quick left after turning past the gas station. Follow the road through the park, past the baseball diamonds, and turn right at the signs to the Stubnitz Nature Center.

Product description
'That is how it works in the City. Every time you think you know the answer to a question, you discover that the question makes no sense ...' This is the story of Anna Blume and her journey to find her lost brother, William, in the unnamed City. Like the City itself, however, it is a journey that is doomed, and so all that is left is Anna's unwritten account of what happened. Paul Auster takes us to an unspecified and devastated world in which the self disappears amidst the horrors that surround us. But this is not just an imaginary, futuristic world - it is one that echoes our own, and in doing so addresses some of our darker legacies.

KTM RC390 India spy shot. A graphic Duke in time for Auto Expo 2014?
KTM's three fully faired sports bikes – RC125, RC200 and RC390 are based on the 125 Duke, 200 Duke and 390 Duke respectively. KTM RC125 and KTM RC200 were unveiled at Milan's two wheeler expo (EICMA) back in November. KTM RC390 also made its entry. All 3 bikes share styling elements while they are differentiated by striking colors and innovative graphic designs.
KTM Duke RC390 will offer 43 bhp, and 35 Nm max torque, and is heavier than the 390. The KTM RC390 will be built by Bajaj Auto, at Chakan, Pune. and will be availble at price just above Duke 390. Duke 390 created quite a ripple in the superbike segment here thanks to it's unmatched price tag of Rs 1.8 lakh at the time of launch.

Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Kathleen Amm
(GE Global Research)
Since the initial development of NbTi and Nb3Sn superconducting wires in the early 1960's, superconductivity has developed a broad range of industrial applications in research, medicine and energy. Superconductivity has been used extensively in NMR low field and high field spectrometers and MRI systems, and has been demonstrated in many power applications, including power cables, transformers, fault current limiters, and motors and generators. To date, the most commercially successful application for superconductivity has been the high field magnets required for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with a global market well in excess of {\$}4 billion excluding the service industry. The unique ability of superconductors to carry large currents with no losses enabled high field MRI and its unique clinical capabilities in imaging soft tissue. The rapid adoption of high field MRI with superconducting magnets was because superconductivity was a key enabler for high field magnets with their high field uniformity and image quality. With over 30 years of developing MRI systems and applications, MRI has become a robust clinical tool that is ever expanding into new and developing markets. Continued innovation in system design is continuing to address these market needs. One of the key questions that innovators in industrial superconducting magnet design must consider today is what application of superconductivity may lead to a market on the scale of MRI? What are the key considerations for where superconductivity can provide a unique solution as it did in the case of MRI? Many companies in the superconducting industry today are investigating possible technologies that may be the next large market like MRI.

The Defense Department today employs approximately 700,000 service contractors who often work side-by-side with the civilian and military workforce at installations across the country and worldwide.
The new shift can be expected to return some clout into the hands of civil service employees who work at half the cost or even less, reversing a decades-old trend of farming out program management increasingly to pricey hired hands in the defense industry.
"We are currently reviewing all contractors, all the contracts we have," Hagel testified at a Senate Appropriations Defense Subcommittee hearing.
To some extent, the secretary said, "we have no choice" about using contractors for functions that the Defense Department cannot perform itself.
"Contractors are part of any institution. We need them [for] certain skills, certain expertise," Hagel said. "But there's no question that we're going to have to make some rather significant adjustments."
Hagel told the panel he was recently briefed on the results of the Pentagon's high-level "Strategic Choices and Management Review," which he will continue to assess before making some fresh budget decisions.
Among the possible targets for cuts in coming years could be the modernization of nuclear platforms: A new Long-Range Strike bomber aircraft, replacements for today's Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines, updated ICBMs or cruise missiles. Each of these efforts could also be affected by any move to reduce contractor support personnel.
The "skimmer" review -- so named for its "SCMR" acronym -- was to address how best to apportion $500 billion in congressionally mandated funding reductions over the next decade. If lawmakers repeal the 2011 Budget Control Act, lesser but nonetheless substantial cuts remain expected in 2014 and beyond.
Hagel made the remarks after Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the subcommittee chairman, said he is "concerned about the cost of the contractor workforce."
"Recent reports have again emphasized that the average contract employee costs two to three times as much as the average DOD civilian employee for performing similar work," Durbin said.
By way of example, the senator cited news reports that the self-proclaimed leaker of classified documents on government surveillance programs was a well-paid contractor working for the National Security Agency, despite what some critics see as thin credentials. The agency is a component of the Defense Department.
"Edward Snowden, who was an employee of Booz Allen, [was] working for one of our premier national security agencies as a contract employee," Durbin said. "The story that's told is that he was a high school dropout, that he didn't finish his military obligation -- though he attempted -- and dropped out of community college. And it's also reported that he's being paid in the range of $200,000 a year as a contract employee."
According to Pentagon data compiled three years ago, "contract employees comprised 22 percent of your department's workforce but accounted for 50 percent of its cost, $254 billion," he said.
Defense Comptroller Robert Hale, also testifying at the session, said the figures Durbin cited appeared to be accurate.
"But let me say, whether or not a contractor or a civilian is cheaper or better, it really depends on the circumstances," Hale testified. "There are some cases where we simply don't have the skills in the Department of Defense that we need, or it's a short- term job, [and it] wouldn't make any sense to grow them."
In fact, he noted, the Pentagon still lacks an indigenous capability to perform financial audits on its own hundreds of billions of dollars in annual spending, despite intense criticism and promised remedies over dozens of years.
"I'm hiring a lot of contractors because they know how to do audits," Hale said. "We don't yet."
Noting that the Defense Department has put most new hires on hold and civilians have not received pay raises since 2011, the chairman suggested it is time to consider whether investing more in the department's own non-uniformed work force might be more cost-effective than using contractors.
"If we're setting out to save money, has the civilian hiring freeze resulted in more or fewer contract employees?" Durbin asked. "And if so, how are you tracking the cost ramifications? Has contractor pay in the Department of Defense increased during the civilian hiring freeze?"
"I don't disagree with any of your general analysis on contractors," Hagel said, noting that Defense spending has significantly grown across the board over the past decade in which the U.S. military has been involved in two major conflicts.
"The money flowed into different departments and institutions, because we felt they were required for the national security of this country," he said. However, he added, "there will come a time, and it is now, where we're going to have to make some hard choices in the review of those."
The Defense leaders promised to provide to Durbin additional data on how many contractor personnel support the department and their average salaries, when available.

Video: Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale at Australia's Targa High Country 2012
The Targa High Country held annually in the high country roads of Victoria, Australia brings together a huge selection of supercars which compete in the multi-day street rally on closed tarmac roads.
The event attracts some of the most impressive supercars in the world, namely a selection of Lamborghini's such as the following Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale.
Jason and John White were driving the rare Super Trofeo Stradale and after the 2011 event where the rear end of their Gallardo caught fire, the two were out for redemption in the 2012 running of Targa High Country and despite having to retire the car in the second day after a front differential failure while in the lead, the two following videos were put together of the car.
The first one includes highlights of driving footage shot of the Super Trofeo Stradale while the second video takes a deeper look into the event from the perspectives of the White's and how on some stretches they manage to reach 250km/h on tight roads in the middle of dangerous forests!

We have a feeling that unlike the buttoned up and glamorous stars at the Oscars — who continue quite properly to the Vanity Fair afterparty — the TV actors who attend the Emmys can't freaking wait until after the telecast is over, so they can let loose and act more like themselves. And for proof, we need look no further than the hilarious photos taken last night. From the presenters' gifting suite, where Glenn Close killed us with the above bikini cut-out, to the winners step-and-repeat, where Louis C.K. turned his Emmys into action figures, to the various afterparties, stars could not stop hamming it up. We had to be judicious and not make half of this gallery pictures of Julie Bowen having the time of her life, but trust us, the two you'll see below are perfect representations. And you know how actors and musicians laugh at regular people's notions that all famous people know each other? They're lying. They really are all the best of friends. We can just tell.

MacBook & MacBook Pro HD?
are they interchangeable? can i get a mbp and put my mb hd in it?
Yes, you should be able to... so far as I know. They're the same size. I'm pretty sure you'd void your MBP warranty if you replace the HDD yourself though.
It's OK to change the HDD in your Mcbook, that won't void the warranty. BUT you can't change the HDD in your Macbook Pro yourself. THAT does void the warranty. So be careful there. I once thought all Macbooks were the same that way, but not so...
If you feel the need to make the change, let someone at an Apple Store do it for you.
The macbook and macbook pro all use a stadand 2.5" SATA 1.5GB drives, only macbook that im aware of that uses a different setup is the macbook air. Those use small 1.8" hdd like the ones they use in the ipod classics.

Maintaining a successful mindset: Don't throw the quit switch
By Sandy Schussel
Sandy Schussel, LLC
At the beginning of his classic self-help book, "Think and Grow Rich," Napoleon Hill tells the story of R. U. Darby and his uncle, who went out to Colorado from their homes in Maryland to strike it rich digging for gold.
After finding a carload of ore, their mine ran dry. They dug on for a few more weeks and then quit, selling their rights, their equipment their maps to a junk man.
The junk man consulted an engineer to take a look at the maps, and after digging another three feet, struck one of the richest veins of gold in Colorado history.
In their book, "100 Ways To Motivate Others," Steve Chandler and Scott Richardson call what Darby and his uncle did "throwing the quit switch." The gold-diggers threw the switch just three feet away from incredible wealth.
Every day, I speak with professionals who have either thrown the quit switch or have one in hand.
"Asking for referrals never worked for me."
"I tried doing seminars a few times, but they never did anything."
"I tried running my own practice, but it was just too hard."
"You can't make a living as a [financial advisor, insurance agent, small-town attorney, realtor — you insert the category]. Well, I know some people do, but I can't."
"It was difficult, or it wasn't instantly successful. Throw the quit switch!"
"It was going along, but too slowly. Throw the quit switch!"
NFL Coach George Allen said, "Most people succeed because they are determined to. People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit."
If your career or practice isn't where you want it to be, stop thinking that you know when to quit. You may be only three feet away from your vein of gold.
One of the points Napoleon Hill makes in his story about Darby is that the junk man was smart enough (or humble enough) to call in an engineer (an expert) to look at the mining maps. That option was always open to Darby and his uncle, but they either didn't think of it or they ignored it, and they chose to stop digging instead.
The only real question is: Do you want to be successful in this career or not? If you do, get the help you need to succeed. Don't wait until you feel like it's hopeless and you already believe you have no choice but to give it all up. In other words, if you really want to make it happen, you have to swallow your pride.

Happy Wednesday Bitch readers! Here's what on our radar today:
Stay tuned!
As far as human emotions go, if the 2004 elections were about fear and the 2008 elections about hope, it seems fair to say that the 2010 midterm elections have been about anger. Anger at the government for what's perceived as a weak economy. Anger at Congress, either for not getting enough done, or for turning the country into a cesspool of socialism, depending on one's political leanings. Anger at immigrants, who are so crafty to get into the United States that they'll even crawl under fences that aren't on the border with another country (at least according to the ads in Louisiana and Nevada). Anger at liberals and their long affair with taxes. Anger at gay people. Earlier this week Mother Jones ran a cover with Sarah Palin in the image of the '50s movie poster, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, to attempt to show how middle class anger is so fever-pitch high that people are talking about voting against their own interests, and what was the response? Anger that they would replicate such a sexist image.

An undergraduate student shot by campus police after brandishing a loaded gun inside a University of California, Berkeley computer lab died at a hospital hours after the confrontation, a university spokesman said Wednesday.
Christopher Nathen Elliot Travis, 32, had just started his first semester at Berkeley after transferring from another school, and had been attending classes at the prestigious Haas School of Business, spokesman Dan Mogulof said.
University authorities said a staff member first saw the man carrying what appeared to be a gun in an elevator at the business school after 2 p.m. on Tuesday. The staffer called police at 2:17 p.m., saying she saw the man take the gun out of his backpack.
Police officers tracked Travis into a Haas computer lab, where he raised the loaded weapon and was shot by an officer at about 2:22 p.m., roughly five minutes after the initial call, officials said.

Samsung Bottom Freezer Refrigerators
These Samsung bottom freezer refrigerators will bring style and function to life in your kitchen. [...]
These Samsung bottom freezer refrigerators will bring style and function to life in your kitchen.
A new Samsung fridge from Goedeker's will look great in your kitchen, as Samsung has imbued their appliances with an individual style that compliments the modern home. There is a nubmer of colors from which to choose, including the popular choices of a stainless steel finish, classic white, and black.
When it is time to buy a refrigerator, remember that bottom freezer refrigerators offer ample frozen food storage. In fact, a drawer-style bottom freezer is capable of storing more food per cubic foot than an upright or cabinet style freezer. That is because gravity works to your advantage in a drawer freezer, and you need fewer shelves to keep the food in place. Sliding organizers, baskets, and shelves may be included, depending on the model, which can enhance your organization of your frozen foods.
If your old refrigerator has been serving you for 10 years or more, it is a good idea to update and upgrade your old appliance. Over time, your refrigerator loses its efficiency and will consume more energy to do the same job it did when it was brand new. Also, newer refrigerators employ the latest in energy-saving technology, so they are more efficient out of the box than their predecessors. Both of these factors can add up to considerable savings on your electric bill.
Goedeker's offers brand name appliances at factory-direct prices to save you money.

After reports that the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update for the Motorola XOOM (WiFi) may have been delayed, it looks like everything checked out with that soak test we heard about, as Motorola has just begun pushing out the over-the-air update to users tonight.
No, these aren't soak testers part of a secret Motorola forum. We grabbed a quick screenshot from one of our reader's Xooms here on the west coast showing the updated JRO03H build number, along with Android 4.1.1. firmware. This makes the Xoom the first 10-inch Android tablet to receive Jelly Bean and an honorary almost-Nexus device. Anyone else get theirs yet?
Thanks, Nathan!

Point Pleasant takes big jump in class
HUNTINGTON -- Point Pleasant's Noah Searls knew the moment was coming. Now it's here.
The Black Knights will have a shorter walk for their matches in the West Virginia State High School Wrestling Tournament this week at Big Sandy Superstore Arena. Instead of being at the far end of the arena, they'll be just in front of the scoreboard for Class AAA competition.
Point Pleasant had won three straight Class AA/A state titles, but the move up a class this year signaled an end to that run.
"It was a heck of a run. Awesome," said Searls, who won the Region IV title at 138 pounds with a 9-5 win over Huntington High's Billy Waldeck. "Everybody's equal now. Our schedule's been the same. That gets us ready for state."
Searls had been ranked No. 1 at 138 in the West Virginia Coaches Association ratings most of the season, but he found himself at No. 3 going into the regional at Cabell Midland. It was their first meeting of the season between the two -- Searls missed the dual between the teams.
"Attack. That's what we preach," Searls said. "You have to be smart about it, too. Nothing crazy.
"There's a big target on your chest (when you're No. 1). The key is how you handle it. I'm nervous a bit off the mat. On it I'm ready."
Searls won the state at 132 a year ago to wrap up a 48-1 season. He's 29-4 going into the 2013 state tournament.
"I look forward to this. The key is to stay humble," Searls said.
The Black Knights, who have been as high as No. 2 in the Class AAA poll, entered the regional at No. 5. Huntington High has been No. 1 since the preseason poll.
Searls knows he could see Waldeck again at the state.
"We both learned something," he said. "We'll study the tape and be ready if it happens again."
Point Pleasant had 12 wrestlers qualify for the state tournament. The Black Knights had three champs and six runners-up in the regional.
"The main thing is to qualify," Point Pleasant coach John Bonecutter said. "We got 12. That's about what I thought we'd take."
Bonecutter said Searls is a team leader in a quiet sort of way.
"He's a great young man. The guys rally around him," Bonecutter said.
Bonecutter knows the Black Knights will face a challenge in their new environment. In addition to Huntington High, they've got to deal with Parkersburg South, Parkersburg, Ripley, Washington, etc. Parkersburg South is seeking a record fifth straight team championship.
"It's going to be tough," Bonecutter said. "There's a lot of quality and depth there. You've got to be on your 'A' game. We've got a lot of stuff to fix this week."

Romney's words, actions make him unfit
Begging to differ with the editorial assessment of this newspaper, I submit that former Massachusetts governor and former Bain Capital CEO Mitt Romney, based on his own words and actions, is unfit to be president of the United States
Whereas we may quarrel with this or that policy decision of President Barack Obama and his administration, the facts remain that:
On many large issues he has kept his promises: to pass comprehensive health care reform, kill or capture Osama bin Ladin, end the Iraq War, rescue the Big Three automakers and get unemployment below 8 percent (it is now 7.8).
Obama's record on jobs and immigration reform would have undeniably been far stronger had it not been for the full-bore resistance and obstruction of congressional Republicans to virtually everything his administration proposed. Ditto his effort to "work across party lines" and "bring the country together."
Turning to the challenger I must note the following:
His very first campaign ad was based on a bald-faced lie -- a lie he has not only not apologized for but has in fact even defended. The ad quotes Obama as saying "If we talk about the economy, we'll lose." In reality, on the stump, Obama was simply quoting a line spoken by Sen. John McCain about the Republican campaign.
Romney is a serial flip-flopper who literally has been all over the map on positions from taxes to job creation to abortion to whether and how to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The governor has refused to submit to the voters more than two tax returns (only the last two years). This stands in stark contrast to not only Obama's full disclosure but also the full disclosure of almost every other presidential contender, Democrat or Republican, since Romney's own father, George. The father, former Michigan governor, actually started the tradition of full disclosure in 1968.
Mitt Romney's record as CEO at Bain Capital and as Massachusetts governor have apparently been judged by his own campaign as not sufficiently positive to trumpet, as in recent months Romney has scarcely mentioned either role in his stump speeches and in debates.
When Romney ended his term as governor, Massachusetts ranked 47th in the nation in job creation. His end-term favorability rating had plummeted to 34 per cent, too low to try for a second term.
Romney's signal accomplishment, comprehensive health care reform for Massachusetts, became the model for the Obama Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
And Romney has vowed to overturn Obamacare from Day One of his term, if he is elected president. Nonpartisan economists agree that such an action would add quite substantially to the federal deficit, as Obamacare, long term, promises significant savings on the nation's health care bill.
Around the world's capitals, with very few exceptions, Obama has garnered esteem from leaders and applause from the crowds. Romney, on his single foray into the U.K. and Europe during his current campaign to win the White House, made so many gaffes that the British press dubbed him "Mitt the Twit" And there were no crowds to speak of anywhere except Poland.
A $7 trillion hike in our deficit would, it's been estimated, result from Romney's proposed 20 per cent across-the-board income tax cut, including for the upper 2 per cent -- and his proposed two trillion dollars in additional military spending beyond what the Pentagon has requested.
To pay for all that Romney talks about "closing loopholes" and deductions. Economists say if he shut down everything from home mortgage deductions to charitable deductions to subsidies to farmers and oil companies, he'd cover only one-seventh of the sum he would add to our $16 trillion deficit. Not a reassuring picture.

'There's never been a better time to buy and sell' says Cambridge estate agent as housing market set for busy year
Posted: January 20, 2014|
The housing market has seen its strongest ever start to a new year, according to new research.
Figures show that the average asking price has risen by one per cent – the largest ever January rise in property prices.
Residents are now being told that there has never been a better time to buy or sell a property as Cambridge estate agents say they have encountered unprecedented levels of interest within the first three weeks of the year.
Cameron Ewer, from the Cambridge estate agents Strutt and Parker, said: "You often find you get better prices at this time of the year, in January and February, rather than when the bulk of the inquiries come in around April. "
But, he added that while residents should be confident in the market, they should not view asking prices as an indicator of final selling prices.
He said: "I think when you are in the market in Cambridge you have to treat asking prices carefully when judging the situation.
"In Cambridge, what drives the market is not asking prices, but competition. And here, there is a lot of competition for housing, so property rises will continue to grow as there is a shortage to buy."
The research found that asking prices have increased year-on-year by 6.3 per cent, the highest since November 2007, and that the number of newly marketed properties has risen by four per cent in the first week of January compared to the same period last year.
But David Bentley, from Bidwells Residential, said this wasn't something he had witnessed here.
He said: "There are some projects in the works, but demand still massively outweighs supply in Cambridge."
But he echoed RightMove's findings that website traffic and emails to estate agents had hit new January records during the first two weeks of the month.
He said: "We have had a huge level of activity during this month which we wouldn't expect to see at this time of the year."

One Village in Five Countries
In her 2005 study Drawing The Line: Nature, Hybridity and Politics in Transboundary Spaces, geographer Juliet Fall recounts a parable from a tumultuous corner of Europe: "A local tale told of a man who was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, christened in Czechoslovakia, married in Hungary, had his first child in the USSR, and died in Ukraine, without ever leaving his village" (p. 270).
The story manages to find humor and absurdity in the frequency of social and political upheaval, despite the tragedy and terror that were part and parcel of these transformations. In this way, you might say this parable is typical East-Central European comedic fare. I thought of this story as I came across some documents from the Records of the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission of the United States (Record Group 299) last week. The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission is an independent federal agency charged with determining the validity and monetary value of claims of U.S. nationals for loss of property or for personal injury caused by foreign governments. In the second half of the twentieth century, the commission administered numerous claims programs for American-owned property in Eastern Europe lost through war or nationalization. Frequent national border changes could create some real confusion for both the claimants and the administrators of the claims programs.
In letters from the series Correspondence Relating to the Polish Program (ARC 6004085), a family attorney and a Department of State official share an exchange about which country controls the territory of the community Galicia Dolina Weldzirz—Poland or the Soviet Union. In this case, it was the USSR, and the official informs the attorney that it has become nearly impossible for persons in the Soviet Union to communicate with relatives in the United States.
From file unit "L-M 2 of 5″ (ARC Identifier 6104201)
In another exchange, this one from the series Polish Claims Files (ARC 5917183), a claimant and a Foreign Claims Settlement Commission official discuss the location of a community identified as Kolowka bei Borscow. While the claimant insists that the territory is Polish, and includes a statement to that effect from the Consulate General of Poland in Chicago, the commission determines that the community is now in the USSR. It must therefore deny the claim.
From claim number PO-1795
The postwar border changes were so vast that for years after the war some people really didn't know where to find their native villages on a political map, and even at the highest levels of government it could be hard to find out what was where.
Note: While some of these records were created by the Department of State, they were transferred to the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission.

I just discovered the posting. I'm happy to see the records being used, as I wrote all the schedules for RG299 between 1988 and 1994, when I worked at NARA. They're fascinating records, deserving greater recognition.

Over the last several weeks and months, ODOT has held meetings with local and state officials to update them on the status of the Portsmouth Bypass project. During the course of the meetings, the Scioto County Commissioners have signed a letter of endorsement. But what puzzles President of Portsmouth City Council Steve Sturgill, is that he says City Council has not been invited to the meetings.
"I'm still perplexed not only as Council president, but as just a member of City Council, that ODOT has not included Portsmouth City Council in any of the meetings that they have been having," Sturgill said. "I get questions all the time about the bypass, and I can't answer them. I'm sure that the rest of you may have some of the same issues. I'm beginning to ask myself, if, in fact, Portsmouth City is relevant to this conversation at all."
Fourth Ward Councilman Jim Kalb chimed in, "They're bypassing us."
Sturgill could not find a reason for the exclusion.
"We should at least have the chance to get your two cents in," Sturgill said. "But it's something that amazes me. You really have to ask yourself if the city is relevant to this whole conversation. And I happen to think it is. It's just perplexing that we haven't had any kind of contact at all."
Sturgill said he read in the newspaper that ODOT wanted the endorsement of the Scioto County Commissioners, which they did receive.
"I'm sure that's important to them," Sturgill said. "But I think also that they would at least like to have a conversation with the city."

According to The Hill,
Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has reversed his position on a federal ban aimed at workplace smoking and now believes the issue should be addressed by state and local governments. The about-face is apparent in a Huckabee campaign statement, sent to The Hill Tuesday evening in response to questions about the smoking ban proposal. It clashes with the stance Huckabee has taken during his race for the White House and with his record as governor of Arkansas, when he signed into law a measure prohibiting smoking in most indoor public places. At an August 2007 forum on cancer hosted by cyclist and activist Lance Armstrong and moderated by MSNBC host Chris Matthews, Huckabee said he supported a federal smoking ban. "If you are president in 2009 and Congress brings you a bill to outlaw smoking nationwide in public places, would you sign it?" Matthews asked. "I would, certainly would. In fact, I would, just like I did as governor of Arkansas, I think there should be no smoking in any indoor area where people have to work," Huckabee responded, triggering applause from the crowd.
This comes in the aftermath of Huckabee's head-snapping change on immigration. Only a few weeks after he lectured the other candidates about the virtues of providing student loans to children of illegal immigrants, he proudly accepted the endorsement of Jim Gilchrist, the founder of the Minuteman Project, a group fiercely critical of illegal immigrants. Huckabee then adapted an immigration plan that is very much at odds with his past position.
It also comes in the wake of Huckabee's declaration that his conscience would not allow him to run advertisements critical of Mitt Romney in Iowa—a declaration, it's worth pointing out, he made at a press conference in which he revealed to reporters the ad he refused to run, thereby ensuring it would get widespread attention. But Huckabee's conscience seems to have gone on sabbatical the other day, when he responded to Fred Thompson's substantive criticisms of his record this way: "Fred Thompson talks about putting America first, and yet he's the one who is a registered foreign agent, lobbied for foreign countries, was in a law firm that did lobbying work for Libya. I certainly wouldn't put my name on something like that."
Such things might be dismissed as par for the political course, except that Huckabee, who once favored quarantining AIDS patients but now denies it, has made a virtue out of his supposed steadfastness. "You are not going to find moments on YouTube of me saying something different about the sanctity of life today than I said ten years ago, ten minutes ago, or fifty years ago," Huckabee has said, referring to footage of Governor Romney declaring his support for abortion rights, a position he later changed. "You are not going to find something in YouTube where I said something completely different about gun ownership and the second amendment than I did last week, ten weeks ago, ten years go."
Those words seem far less compelling than they once did. What we are finding is that Huckabee, who has long believed in religious conversions, appears to have a new-found affinity for political ones.

Big Country Journal: Homecoming tradition gets De Leon seniors all fired up
DE LEON — Whoosh! That's about how fast the bonfire went up Wednesday night.
"This was a tradition we started when I was in high school back in the '80s," said Michelle Simpson. Forever a Bearcat, she is now the cheerleading sponsor, an English teacher for 9th and 10th graders, and adviser to the student council.
"I do a little bit of everything here," she said, laughing.
Held in the parking lot of Bearcat Stadium as part of a slew of homecoming festivities, the bonfire is one of the most anticipated events of the school year. While its origins are centered on the football game, Simpson said the bonfire tradition has morphed into a celebration acknowledging the senior class.
"It's the first thing the seniors get to do as a group," she said. "I think it's gotten bigger over the years."
Last year's bonfire was canceled after drought conditions created tinderbox conditions throughout the Big Country. Instead of the usual display, a giant letter D was created using cans and filled with rags soaked in fuel, then lit on fire.
It wasn't the same, though. Last year's seniors were saddened that they were unable to continue the tradition.
"It changed the whole atmosphere of our homecoming week," Simpson said. "They moaned and groaned, it was really a big deal not to have it."
There were no worries this year, however. It was anything but dry last weekend when senior Michael McLearen joined his classmates to build the woodpile.
"Yeah, we were real excited about it. We started working on it Saturday morning in the pouring rain at about 8 o'clock," he said. "It was miserable but we got a good start."
Other students finished the job Sunday or added to the pile incrementally the rest of the week. With the junior varsity homecoming game scheduled Thursday, the bonfire was held the day before.
More than 20 feet high and smelling of diesel fuel, the pile consisted of wooden pallets, trees and plywood boards, some of which bore the names of deceased students. In the past, Simpson said students used to set chair atop the pile, sitting on their "thrones".
But safety concerns put a stop to that, as did piling furniture, which tended to leave metal bits in the parking lot afterward. The bonfire is built on tin to catch most of the nails and any other items that remain.
People began to gather in the parking lot at sunset and about an hour later, police blocked traffic on State Highway 6 as cheerleaders led the way for a truck pulling a flatbed trailer. On the back sat about 35 kids — the Class of 2013.
"We had a small group of seniors this year, we usually have mid to upper 40s," Simpson said. "They're really a close group of kids."
Together, the students sang the school song and brought out homemade torches. McLearen said he built his earlier in the day during Ag class, a simple stick with rags wrapped about the top, soaked in diesel. Others were more elaborate, writing messages wishing good fortune for their class or again, remembrances of lost classmates.
Students passed the fire from torch to torch, pausing until all were ready. On cue, some tossed their torches near the pile's base while others went for a more dramatic display, balls of fire sailing through the air to strike higher wood. Some fell short, only to be picked up by a few brave individuals, who completed the job by tossing them in.
It didn't take long for it to catch and soon the crowd was backing away, the heat became intense as flames climbed 50 feet or more into the night. Whorls of heated air spun from the conflagration, looking like small twisters as they picked up the dust of the parking lot. Younger children watched the dirt-devils snake across the lot, chasing and jumping into them once they got far enough from the heat.
The seniors posed for pictures in front of the blaze, reaching above their heads with one finger upraised on their left hands and three up on their right. McLearen said it stood for Class of 2013.
Simpson remembered her own time with the bonfire. It's said no tricks ever are new and perhaps when it comes to the legacy of her own class that's probably true. There's a reason the students took shifts guarding the bonfire at night. Simpson herself was a member of the infamous Class of '87, known for prematurely lighting nearby Dublin's bonfire.
"We might have done that to our rivals in Dublin," she said, smiling. "Then they tried to retaliate and we caught them before it got burned all the way."
It's a story firmly set firmly under the heading of, "Oh, we can laugh about it now, but back then …"
Dress-Up Day is still a tradition at De Leon High School, and Simpson one was held this week. When Simpson was a student, the theme for the day was Nerds. Sporting the best polyester they could find from their parents' closets, someone thought wouldn't it be great to sabotage Dublin's woodpile?
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
"So we were all dressed up as these nerds, driving off to light Dublin's bonfire," Simpson said, chuckling. "It's a great memory."
Apparently, it was also a Class C Misdemeanor, entitling them to, among other things, a stern reprimand by their principal who, while appreciating their school spirit, informed them of this fact.
"We had to write a letter to their school, which killed us to apologize," she said. "But we did it."
Shaking her head, Simpson smiled as some students sat on their classmates shoulders, posing for more pictures as embers glowed while they rose into the night air.
Recalling her class commando mission, she said, "I don't recommend that to anyone."
Yes, but was it worth it?
"It really was, because we still talk about it," she said.
"And they still guard it to this day."

I would like install Ubuntu enterprise cloud in virtual box and need to test it, will UEC can be installed successfully in Virtual box & where can i get Tutorial for that.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. It's 100% free.
No you can't. UEC requires hardware virtualization, as far as I know.
You CAN use OpenNebula with software virtualization.
You're going to take a drastic performance hit running virtualization inside of virtualization though.
I haven't tested it, but if you want to try UEC on the cheap this may work.

Cycling Reverie by Em Harrenstein from Forty Two on Vimeo.
I have a lot of wheels in my life. Six to be exact, and none of them are attached to a car.
I own three bikes. Well, four technically. I'm letting my coworker Nate borrow one.
I'm not a religious person, but riding my bike is a spiritual experience for me. It is thrilling that such an insignificant amount of metal can take me great distances with only a small amount of effort from my body. I feel as though I can escape from everything that weighs me down on a daily basis by freeing my mind and my soul, and allowing myself time to engage in deep thought. But more importantly, topping off a great bike ride often involves relaxing with a good beer to enjoy at my leisure.
"My other passion in life is how I make my living: bringing characters and objects to life, animation. I spend hours and hours working on very small parts of a larger character or movie, making it as lifelike as possible while adding my own style to it. I've received a total of two years of character animation training through the Vancouver Institute of Media Arts and iAnimate.net.
As a small project (and to impress my new coworkers), I combined my two favorite things into a short film I'm calling "Cycling Reverie." In the film, a character I created blasts through the busy city streets on his bike and escapes to the quiet of the country.
I had to plan out what was going to happen in each shot before going into the drawing stage so that I could match up the perspectives. The character was intentionally left sketchy to allow a more 'free' feeling about him in contrast to the bold, crisp environment. One of the toughest animations to lockdown was of the character dismounting his bike and sitting down against the tree. For reference, I had to take a video of Nate getting off a bike and sitting against a wall.
I learned a whole lot about myself during this time. And even though sitting at a desk for hours rendering out animation is fun, I'm at my most peaceful whizzing by on two wheels and no engine.

Gryphaea is a very common fossil around Lyme Regis, it can be found in a number of layers both to the east and west of the town.
At low tide the rock platforms below the seawall east of the town become exposed. Look closely at the hard grey-blue limestone beds of the Blue Lias, you will see the outlines of large ammonites. Keep looking for white, strongly curved half-moon shapes often close together.
Likewise, to the west at Monmouth Beach they can be seen in the hard limestone beds. However, at a few horizons in the intervening mudstones whole specimens can be found. If you look amongst the pebbles and in the rock pools you may be lucky enough to find a loose specimen.

1 1/2 cups
unsalted butter
2 cups
packed brown sugar
1/2 cup
4 1/2 cups
unbleached all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons
ground ginger
4 teaspoons
baking soda
1 teaspoon
3 tablespoons
grated fresh ginger
1 cup
chopped crystallized ginger
A good cookie, but I like the snap of a crunchier cookie. 2 things for this recipe--first, go to the oriental food section of the grocery store and you can buy the TyLing brand crystalized ginger for $1.99 for 3 OUNCES which is about 1/6th the price of what they sell in the spice aisle. Second, for a real spicy sweet bite, I added a TBS of cayenne pepper to the recipe--and everyone went crazy for them!
First of all, do not add 1 Tbs. of cayenne as someone said before. They were way to spicy even for the adults. I had to throw the whole batch away. These came out very doughy. Not chewy or 'snappy'. I am cooking at high altitude, but I made adjustments. I was disappointed. I tried them three times hoping for success, but they just weren't what I was looking for.

I couldn't find crystallized ginger in the local grocery store, so following one of the earlier reviews, I skipped the crystallized ginger and added extra fresh ginger (THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!). To reduce to amount of fat, I used 1 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of applesauce, I don't think this changes the taste very much, 'coz it's still excellent. I extended the baking time to 15 mins though since I find 10 mins baking leave the cookies too chewy. Thanks for the recipe!!
If you love ginger, these are the cookies for you! They give you the full, spicy bite of ginger by using it in all three forms. I had to cook them a little longer than instructed to get them to the crispy "snap" stage, but they are equally good if you make them chewy.
This recipe is good, but it can be seriously pumped up into an adult taste treat. Use 1 cup fresh minced ginger in addition to 1 cup crystalized ginger, decrease powdered ginger by 1 teaspoon and replace with fresh ground black pepper, add 1/2 teaspoon cloves. Amazing. If this is really for adults, macerate the fresh ginger in a couple of tablespoons of vodka, brings out yet another level of flavor. My next twist will be to add cayenne pepper, haven't tried it, but just wait....
I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 only because they just aren't as good as my grandma's.
This recipe makes a humongous amount of cookies. I will definitely half it next time.
When reading other reviews I noticed people talking about the expense of candied ginger. It's really easy to make at home. Cook 1 cup pureed ginger and 3 cups of sugar over medium-low heat. After the sugar melts you can add some ghee (clarified butter, but regular butter will work too) and spices such as cardomom or allspice. Let the mixture boil for a few minutes while stirring constantly then pour into a shallow pan to set. YUMMY! We keep it on hand all the time for upset stomach.
This is truly a wonderful ginger snap cookie. It is soft and very flavorful. The crystalized ginger is expensive - but it adds a lot of zing. I used less than the recipe calls for simply because it is expensive. I made several batches of these for Christmas. I rolled the dough into balls, rolled in sugar and froze uncooked. They bake up beautifully right from the freezer and make for a lovely plate for company.
Crystallized ginger is expensive, I first made these for a Christmas cookie exchange and didn't want to go to the expense of the crystallized ginger, so feel free to leave it out, it is "non-essential", don't skimp on the powdered or fresh ginger to give them a nice "snap" and decorate with a confectioner's sugar (a little water and white confectioner's suger to a pasty consistency)piped on in stars, swirls or whatever suits you...they were a hit! (Ginger tends to be an adult taste but kids like em too!)

The MRO subsidiary of tour operator TUI, Tec4Jets, will open a line maintenance station at Lille airport in France on 1 April.
The facility will operate throughout the year, providing line and aircraft-on-ground support for current generation Boeing 737s.
But the company says it will add capabilities for other aircraft if sufficient demand materialises.
Tec4Jets' main bases are at Brussels' Zaventem and Amsterdam Schiphol airports, where it respectively supports TUI's Belgian branch Jetairfly and Dutch subsidiary Arkefly.
Since last year, the maintenance provider has also served third-party airline customers.
