If you've ever wondered how big a role Texas A&M plays in the local economy, numbers released by the university on Wednesday leave no doubt. Last year, the direct impact was just over $1 billion, an increase of almost $98 million from 2006.
The following is a breakdown of how all that money filters into the local economy:
Staff, faculty and all around payroll amounts to about $770 million. Since most of A&M employees live locally, their money is spent locally.
The students who live in B/CS spend about $280 million a year. That money is spent everywhere you eat, shop or live.
Athletics, entertainment and the George Bush Library brought in more than $1 million visitors last year. Together, they spent $115 million locally.
Much of the big commercial construction going on in Brazos County can be attributed to the university. That pumps $100 million into the local economy.

A bid by conservatives in the House and Senate to effectively eliminate the federal highway program is drawing fire from American Trucking Associations and other transportation interests.
September 11, 2014
The House is working on a temporary appropriations measure that does not include a suspension of the 34-hour restart provision of the hours of service rule.
September 9, 2014
Freight interests are staking ground for the next highway program, asserting the need for sustainable funding, systematic planning and improved efficiency. The Freight Stakeholders Coalition, representing 18 carrier and shipper organizations including American Trucking Associations, published a 9-point platform for the upcoming debate over reauthorization of the program.
August 13, 2014
The House and Senate have bills that would raise federal truck weight limits to accommodate the heavier fuel systems of natural gas vehicles.
July 31, 2014
The Senate Thursday night approved a $10.8 billion House bill to keep the Highway Trust Fund solvent through next May. This ensures that highway funding will continue for the next 10 months.
Congress is inching ever closer to the edge of insolvency for the Highway Trust Fund. On Thursday afternoon the House rejected the Senate's bill to patch the Fund into December and sent its original bill back to the upper chamber.
July 23, 2014
The Senate is poised to debate and vote on a patch to keep the Highway Trust Fund solvent until a long-term program can be funded. The question for debate is, how long will the patch last?
July 21, 2014
Congressional passage of a short-term patch for the Highway Trust Fund will avert the immediate crisis but not be cause for celebration, said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. Foxx and other transportation leaders are calling on Congress to preserve long-term funding for surface infrastructure.
July 16, 2014
Congress is inching closer to passage of a stopgap measure to prevent the Highway Trust Fund from drying up this summer. The House this week passed a $10.6 billion bill and the Senate is going to choose between a similar measure or a long-term bill.
July 15, 2014
The U.S. House on Tuesday passed legislation on Tuesday afternoon providing enough money for the Highway Trust Fund through May 2015.
July 10, 2014
UPDATED---Congress appears to be coming together to pass a plan to rescue the Highway Trust Fund, used to pay for federal road and bridge projects, before it runs out of money in August, putting hundreds of road construction jobs at risk and shuttering thousands of highway projects.
July 9, 2014
The U.S. House could vote as soon as early next week on legislation to prop up the Highway Trust Fund, before it runs out of money.
June 26, 2014
In an effort to prevent a shutdown of the federal transportation program, the Senate Finance Committee has drafted a proposal to keep the Highway Trust Fund solvent through the end of the year. The original version of the proposal included an increase in the heavy vehicle use tax, but that provision was dropped in deference to Republican concern about the proportion of revenue raisers to spending cuts in the proposal.
June 25, 2014
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., is proposing a three-month patch to keep the Highway Trust Fund solvent through the end of the year. The patch would be paid for with general funds, balanced by adjustments including raising the heavy vehicle use tax.
June 19, 2014
Partisan differences halted Senate debate on an appropriations bill that includes a suspension of the 34-hour restart provision of the hours of service rule. As the debate began, Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., introduced an amendment that would change Sen. Susan Collins's provision calling for suspension of the restart and a study of its impact.
June 18, 2014
Amid warnings about a looming cutoff in highway funding, two Senators are proposing an old-fashioned fix: raise the federal fuel tax. Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and Bob Corker, R-Tenn., proposed raising gasoline and diesel taxes six cents a year for two years, then indexing them to the Consumer Price Index.
June 17, 2014
The effort to suspend the hours of service restart provision will come to a head on the Senate floor this week, possibly this afternoon.
In late April, Tom Sanderson, CEO of the third-party logistics company Transplace, participated in a roundtable on Capitol Hill about highway funding. As we inch closer to the deadline and the Highway Trust Fund is heading into the red, he offers his impressions of that event.
June 12, 2014
HR 4848, "The Repeal and Rebuild Act," is a long-term solution that would create American jobs, fix the nation's crumbling infrastructure, and finally break the transportation funding impasse that has plagued Congress for years, according to the senior member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
The Truck Renting and Leasing Association reports progress on an industry effort to fix the District of Columbia's move to ban certain diesel engines. TRALA, speaking for a coalition that includes American Trucking Associations as well as local trucking interests, said the D.C. government is willing to rewrite a budget bill that would in effect ban the engines.

Merit Aid
A Private Education You Can Afford
Everyone knows that good grades and test scores are the key to getting into the college of your choice. At Western New England University, they can also dramatically lower your tuition each year you are enrolled.
Western New England University offers merit scholarships and grants, ranging from $5,500 to $17,000 annually or $22,000 to $68,000 over four years. These are awarded to full-time freshmen at the time of acceptance into the University. The University also awards need-based scholarships and grants based on financial need and previous academic achievement.
For full-time transfer students we award merit scholarships ranging from $6,000 to $12,000 ($14,000 for Phi Theta Kappa students) annually for the duration of the undergraduate study.
Presidential Scholars Program
Merit scholarships based on high school academic achievement are awarded to full-time freshmen. Awards are automatically renewed based on maintaining a 2.70 cumulative grade point average, full-time status, and successfully completing at least 24 credits a year.
The Presidential Scholars Program is comprised of Presidential Scholars Awards, Provost's Scholar Awards, and Dean's Scholar Awards. Awards are based on test scores (SAT or ACT) and a recalculated Grade Point Average (GPA). This GPA is calculated by the Admissions Office at the time of acceptance and is based on traditional, college-prep courses. These include grades in English, math, science, language, and selected social science courses. Grades that are not calculated into the GPA include those for music, art, religion, non-programming computer courses, and technical courses, to name a few. Grades for Honors, Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and college-level courses are given additional weight. Only the SAT scores for the Critical Reading (Verbal) and Math sections will be considered; we will not consider the Writing score. For the ACT, we will use the Composite score in determining merit eligibility. If a student takes the test multiple times, we will calculate a new total score by using the highest individual scores. If a student takes the SAT and ACT tests, we will consider whichever is most advantageous to the student.
For additional information about aid based on financial need, click here.
The chart below provides examples; the calculator illustrates awards which will be generally offered to freshmen for 2014-15. You can enter your grades into the calculator on a 4.00 scale, on a 100 point scale, or with a letter grade (including a + or - for letter grades).
Students who are not eligible for an academic scholarship are considered for a Success Grant, which is not based on financial need. These grants range from $5,500 to $9,500 annually or $22,000 to $38,000 over four years. The grants are automatically renewed based on maintaining a 2.30 cumulative grade point average, full-time status, and successfully completing at least 24 credits per year. The calculator will indicate potential eligibility for these grants.

Transfer Students
Transfer Awards
Transfer Scholarships are awarded annually to full-time transfer students who enroll with at least 12 transfer credits. For consideration, students must have at least a 3.00 grade point average from their previous college(s). The scholarship is automatically renewed based on maintaining a 2.70 Western New England University grade point average, full-time status, and successfully completing at least 24 credits per year.
Eligibility for the Merit Transfer Scholarships is normally based only on grades for college-level courses, usually referred to as 100-level (or higher) courses. A composite college GPA will be calculated for students who attended more than one college. Students who have at least a 3.50 GPA will usually be considered for an $12,000 merit scholarship while students whose GPA is 3.00-3.49 will usually be considered for a $9,000 merit scholarship. Students with a 2.50-2.99 GPA will usually be considered for a $7,000 merit award.
Transfer Students who do not qualify for a Merit Transfer Scholarship will be considered for a special grant, which can be awarded without regard to financial need. The calculator above can be used to determine your potential eligibility. Change the calculator's GPA to College GPA and do not enter any test scores.
Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship
We also offer an additional $2,000 to students who are members of Phi Theta Kappa at their community college and have a 3.00 or higher composite GPA from all institutions previously attended. To be eligible, students must matriculate immediately following completion of their two-year college degree. Students must also be U.S. citizens, and they cannot have previously received a bachelor's degree. The scholarship is renewable for a second year of full-time study if a 2.7 Western New England University grade point average is maintained.
International Student Scholarship
A limited number of International Student Scholarships ranging from $9,000 to $17,000 are offered each year to undergraduate freshmen and transfer students. The scholarship is automatically renewed based on maintaining a 2.70 Western New England University grade point average, full-time status, and successfully completing at least 24 credits per year. The Admissions Office selects recipients who have an outstanding academic record and who have at least a 213 computer-based TOEFL score (79-80 Internet-based or 550 paper-based).

Sexual exploitationThe forcible or deceptive recruitment of women, men and children for the purposes of forced prostitution or sexual exploitation.
Forced labourForced labour is any work or services which people are forced to do against their will under the threat of some form of punishment. Immigrants are particularly vulnerable, but individuals also may be forced into labour in their own countries. Female victims of forced or bonded labour, especially women and girls in domestic servitude, are often sexually exploited as well.
Domestic servitudeEmployment in private homes where victims are ill-treated, humiliated and subjected to exhausting working hours and other exploitation. Workplaces are informal, connected to a victim's off-duty living quarters, and not often shared with other workers. Such an environment, which often socially isolates workers, is conducive to non-consensual exploitation since authorities cannot inspect private property as easily as they can inspect formal workplaces.
Trafficking versus smugglingA number of factors help distinguish between smuggling and trafficking:
- Smuggling is characterised by illegal entry only and international movement only, either secretly or by deception (whether for profit or otherwise);
- Smuggling is a voluntary act and there is no further exploitation by the smugglers once they reach their destination;
- There is normally little coercion/violence involved or required from those assisting in the smuggling.
Trafficking involves the transportation of persons in the UK in order to exploit them by the use of force, violence, deception, intimidation or coercion. The form of exploitation includes commercial sexual and bonded labour exploitation. The persons who are trafficked have little choice in what happens to them and usually suffer abuse due to the threats and use of violence against them and/or their family.

#inDspotlightARTISTS Bio:
Breaking Day is a Pop/R&B recording artist from Southern California. Their style of music is similar to Danity Kane & Destiny's Child, mixed in with a little Katy Perry. If you love these artists, then you will love the girls of BREAKING DAY!
The quartet consists of Nicole from Palos Verdes, Miranda from Yucaipa, Emily from San Diego and Gabriel from San Diego as well. These four girls never knew each other before joining the group, but their dreams and desires to be recording artists brought them close very quickly.
As their journey continues, take a closer look at each individual girl and get to know them as real people. Know that they're not your average cookie-cutter pop stars. Nothing has been given to them.

Phoenix became a real sports town 20 years ago today
June 18, 1992.
I was just 27 days away from my 21st birthday. But instead of looking forward to going out and getting schnockered like most soon-to-be 21-year-olds, I had a sadness in my heart.
The Phoenix Suns, tired of being a perennial 50-win team who bows out of the NBA Playoffs in the first or second round, engineered arguably the biggest trade in the history of Phoenix sports. The Suns sent my favorite player, Jeff Hornacek, along with forward Tim Perry and center Andrew Lang to the Philadelphia 76ers for All-Star forward Charles Barkley.
This also may have been the first trade in sports history that was on hold until one of the principals could be acquitted of assault charges. Barkley had been arrested in 1991 for throwing a man through a window at a Milwaukee bar. After he beat the rap, the trade went down.
So the Suns, who had just won 53 games and advanced to the Western Conference semis before being rudely eliminated by the Portland Trail Blazers, shipped off three-fifths of their starting lineup to Philly for a guy whose 76ers team had just missed the playoffs and had won only two postseason series in the five years he had been the centerpiece of the team.
I remember wearing a small name tag on my shirt at work that read "In Memory of Jeff Hornacek: 1986-1992" in protest of the Suns' maneuvering.
I was 20. I was naive. I had no idea what the Suns were getting. I had no idea the ride the city of Phoenix was in for.
The Suns were moving into their new palace in downtown Phoenix, America West Arena (now US Airways Center), after calling the Veterans Memorial Coliseum home for 24 seasons. For the first time in the team's history, they were getting a substantial uniform and branding change. There would have been an increased buzz even without a blockbuster trade.
But the Suns, to their credit, knew what they were doing. Yes, they were getting an outspoken player with a checkered past. But they were getting easily the most marketable athlete in the Valley's history. Quick, name another Phoenix athlete who had done a national television commercial for a major advertiser before 1992? Can't think of one, can you?
Forget the marketing; we'd never seen a player like Barkley, either. His first game in purple and orange was a harbinger of things to come. Sir Charles pumped in 37 points and grabbed 21 rebounds as the Suns christened their new arena with a win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
SunsMania was born.
The 1992-93 season was unlike any other in Phoenix sports history. The Suns won 62 games, overcame an 0-2 deficit to beat the Lakers in the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs and stormed all the way to the NBA Finals for the second time in franchise history. Barkley won the league's MVP award, becoming the first Suns player to do so.
People painted their cars purple and orange. Didn't have tickets to a game? Sorry, you weren't getting any. In fact, you were lucky to get a seat in a sports bar to watch a game. Every other dog in the Valley was named Majerle. You get the idea.
The storybook didn't have a happy ending; John Paxson nailed a three-pointer with 3.9 seconds left in Game 6, killing Phoenix's chances to play for their first championship on their home floor.
But Paxson's dagger didn't kill the spirit of the Suns fan. An estimated 250,000 people lined the streets of downtown Phoenix to give their favorite team one last salute on a day where the mercury crept close to 120 degrees. When the crowd dispersed that day, it was the end of the best single season in the annals of Phoenix sports.
We've never experienced anything quite like that season. Not when the Diamondbacks won the Series in '01 or when the Cardinals nearly shocked the entire sports world by coming up just short in Super Bowl XLIII.
Nope, 1992-93 was a season-long celebration; not a case of a team getting hot at the right time. The Suns were hot from November until June.
And it was all because of the trade that went down twenty years ago. The '92-'93 Suns would have been good with Hornacek, Perry and Lang -- no doubt a playoff team -- but not a serious contender for a championship.
So today I look back on my 20-year-old self and shake my head. How could I have been that upset about the Suns making the best trade in their history?
The Suns organization had existed for nearly a quarter- century before June 18, 1992. But it was that day that Phoenix earned a spot on the sports world's map -- and it was all because of Charles Barkley.

The reason RAW announcers JBL, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler were taking "selfies" during last night's show is because Vince McMahon is not a fan of President Barack Obama. The "selfies" were done as a rib to Obama after he was seen taking a photo with British Prime Minister David Cameron and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt at Nelson Mandela's funeral last week in South Africa.
- Nikki Bella posted a photo on Instagram of a blood-stained towel after she took the nasty superkick from Tamina Snuka on last night's RAW. There was some concern that she may have lost a tooth but apparently she didn't.
- Not all of the matches that WWE filmed for their Tribute to the Troops last week will end up airing on the December 28th special. WWE taped two hours worth of matches for a one hour special.

The name is derived from sangre, Spanish for "blood," and this ruby-red concoction is truly the essence of any proper fiesta. Stud your pitcher with whatever fruits look good at the market, making sure to load up on sangria's signature citrus. We love Merlot or Shiraz, but you can create a lighter punch with a crisp white or rosé. No need to spend a bundle — an inexpensive bottle will do the trick. Salud!
This versatile wine and fruit mixture is perfect for a springtime brunch. Use red or white, depending on Mom's wine preference.
image: Tara Donne
Simple Sangria
1 bottle (1.5 liters) red wine
1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice
1/3 cup brandy
1/3 cup sugar
2 (nectarines) pitted and cut into wedges
1 orange, cut in half then sliced
1 lemon, sliced
1 (Kirby (pickling) cucumber) sliced
3 cup(s) seltzer or club soda, chilled
Ice cubes
In 3- to 4-quart pitcher, combine wine, orange juice, brandy, and sugar; stir until sugar dissolves.
Stir in fruit and cucumber. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 3 hours or overnight.
To serve, stir seltzer into pitcher. Fill glasses with ice and pour sangria.
Serves 12.

Tomb of the Eagles
The Tomb of the Eagles, or Isbister Chambered Cairn, is a Neolithic chambered tomb located on a cliff edge at Isbister on South Ronaldsay in Orkney, Scotland. First explored by Ronald Simison, a farmer, when digging flagstones in 1958, he conducted his own excavations at the site in 1976. Alerted by Simison, archaeologist John Hedges then mounted a full study, prepared a technical report and wrote a popular book[1] that cemented the tomb's name.[2]
16,000 human bones were found at the site, as well as 725 from birds. These were identified as predominantly belonging to the white-tailed sea eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) and represented between 8 and 20 individuals. These were originally interpreted as a foundation deposit; however, this interpretation has been challenged by new dating techniques. These reveal that the eagles died c. 2450–2050 BC, up to 1,000 years after the building of the tomb. This confirms growing evidence from other sites that the neolithic tombs of Orkney remained in use for many generations.[2]

Ensembles – Seasonal
First Church Choral Union
The First Church Choral Union began in 2009, as an opportunity to unify the vocal resources of all youth and adult choirs in the church community. Since 2010, this project has supported the liturgy on Confirmation Sunday. It is fitting to have a multi-generational choral ensemble lead music in worship on such a Sunday, and offer an exciting chance for all youth and adult vocal choirs to unite into one voice, on an annual basis. The Ensemble will next participate in worship on Confirmation Sunday, April 19, 2015.
Men's Choir
This choir has been the traditional choral ensemble for the Sunday worship service on Father's Day. Generally first coming into session several weeks before participating in worship. Concentrating on classical 4-part (TTBB) choral literature, it draws its members from all parts of the First Church congregation.
Men's Choir rehearses this season, starting Thursday, May 28, 2015, 7:00 PM on a flexible Tuesday/Thursday schedule. For more information or to sign up, contact the Music office at 882-4861, X15.

A developer known as "Notcom", has released a couple of tools in the past, to help with downgrading your firmware on your iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 3rd gen. Umbrella was used to back up your SHSH locally, and TinyTSS was used to call Saurik's server, during the restore process, to grab your SHSH for your firmware of choice. Notcom has released TinyUmbrella, which combines theses 2 programs in one.
TinyUmbrella v 4.00.26 now supports ALL devices running iOS 4, including iPhone 4. With rumours of an update to iOS4 coming very soon, to fix the "death grip" issue, is is important to make sure your SHSHs for iOS 4 are backed up, of you will have trouble with restoring to a previous and/or custom firmware in the future. This version also includes a "Kick out of recovery mode" button, for times when your baseband is newer than your firmware, and you get the 1015 error after restore.
TinyUmbrella 4.00.26 is available for Mac and Windows and works with iTunes 9.0 and up. Your device does NOT need to be jailbroken to save your SHSH.
– Open TinyUmbrella and connect your device.
– You can go into Advanced Settings, to manually select your device and where you want to save your SHSHs.
– Then simply click "Save My SHSH", and TinyUmbrella automatically grans your SHSH and uploads it to Saurik's server.
– Then, when you need to restore, click the "Start TSS Server" button, and it will make iTunes call Saurik's server, instead of Apple, to grab the signature for whatever firmware you're installing.
Once the restore is complete, you will most likely have a 10XX error. Specifically, iPhone 4 will give you a 1004 error, and if your baseband doesn't match your firmware, you'll get a 1014 or 1015 error. If you get one of these errors, your device will be stuck in recovery mode. Simply click the "Kick Device Out of Recovery" and your device will reboot to the lockscreen, or activation screen, depending on the firmware you're using for restore.
This won't show up in Cydia right away. Give Saurik some time update Cydia to show iOS 4 SHSHs. If you click the "Display SHSHs" button, you'll see what has been backed up.
If you are on iOS 4 now, we suggest you get your SHSHs backed up, even if you're not jailbroken yet. It is rumoured that an update is coming soon, and iOS 4 will stop being signed at the time.

Dennis tells Inside INdiana Business the plant will be more than a game changer.
The mayor of West Lafayette believes GE Aviation's decision to locate a jet engine plant in Tippecanoe County is a strong example of bipartisan cooperation. John Dennis, who is a Republican, says the facility will be a huge positive for his city even though it will be built in Lafayette, which has a Democrat mayor. Dennis also says the announcement enhances the economic value of Lafayette, West Lafayette and Tippecanoe County, while giving Purdue University graduates more opportunities to stay in the area. GE Aviation has confirmed it will build a $100 million manufacturing operation with plans to hire 200 workers by 2020.
March 26, 2014
News Release
LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Wednesday's announcement that GE Aviation would build a $92 million aircraft engine assembly plant in Park 350 on Lafayette's south side was the culmination of several groups spending months working together, said Jody Hamilton, director of economic development at Greater Lafayette Commerce�s, the community's economic development organization.
"Once again, our ability to come together, to share our strengths and to work well together landed us a win," she said. "With five states on the target list, we rolled out the Lafayette welcome mat, collectively expressing our interest and commitment."
Those involved included representatives from GE Aviation, the city of Lafayette, Tippecanoe County, state of Indiana, Greater Lafayette Commerce, Purdue University and Ivy Tech Community College - Lafayette, she said.
For Lafayette mayor Tony Roswarski, news that the company would employ 200 by 2020 - and pay top wages - was especially gratifying. "These are jobs that can comfortably support a family, and that is a top priority of mine. By raising the median income, families can improve their quality of life."
Equally impressive, he said, is the product they'll assemble - a leading edge aviation propulsion (LEAP) engine, developed by CFM International, a joint company of General Electric and Snecma (SAFRAN) of France to power narrow-body, single-aisle aircraft, including the Airbus A320 neo, Boeing 737 MAX and Chinca's COMAC C919 aircraft. The first deliveries to the market, which represents about 70 percent of new aircraft sales expected in the next 20 years, are slated for 2016.
Among the engine's benefits are lower fuel consumption, reduced emissions, easier maintenance and compliance with pending noise-reduction regulations. The company already has orders from about 5,000 of the engines, said Roswarski, who spoke at the news conference at Purdue Airport.
Another important aspect, Roswarski said, is the substantial investment GE is making here.
"This will be a world-class facility, being built exclusively for assembly of the LEAP engine," Roswarski said. "History is being made today as we welcome GE Aviation to the Lafayette community. We are proud to be part of a team that is helping bring the next generation of commercial aircraft engines here. This is an iconic American company, and the Lafayette plant will be at the forefront of aviation engine technology. It will put Lafayette on the map in a way we haven�t been before."
Tippecanoe County Commissioner John Knochel, who also spoke at the news conference, hailed the company�s choice of location within the county.
"Tippecanoe County eagerly welcomes GE Aviation, the fourth company to choose Park 350 for a significant industrial investment," Knochel said. "This is a company already renowned for successfully setting its sight on the future in global reach and technological advances. Now, it will pioneer an all-new aircraft engine with a 'made in Lafayette, Indiana' stamp, and supply it to commercial aircraft manufacturers around the world."
GE Aviation will occupy about 60 acres in the 300-acre industrial park, in a 150,000-square-foot facility to be built south of the Nanshan America Advanced Aluminum Technologies plant. Other park occupants are Heartland Automotive, Warehouse of Lafayette facility and, under construction, Fed Ex Ground Transportation.
Knochel also noted the high-tech features of the LEAP engine, which is the first ever to use 3D manufactured parts.
Hamilton mentioned the importance of a community having a wide variety of industries, which contributes to stable and growing, employment.
"GE Aviation expands the diversity of our employment base, which is always a plus," Hamilton said. �We already have a wide cross section of both advanced manufacturing and knowledge-based businesses, and GE Aviation's decision now expands that even more. That bodes well for our economic vitality."

LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Governor Mike Pence joined David Joyce, president and chief executive officer of GE Aviation, the world's largest jet engine manufacturer, today to announce the company's plans to locate a new $100 million jet engine assembly facility here, creating up to 200 new jobs by 2020.
"With a nod to our past and an eye on our future, Indiana is charting a path forward," said Pence. "Indiana is a manufacturing state, with decades of experience in building the items that power our world. But we are also a state of innovation, developing the technologies of tomorrow. GE Aviation's plans in Indiana fuse the two. By selecting Indiana for its new jet engine facility, the company gains a workforce skilled at both developing the big ideas and bringing them to life. From jet engines to medical breakthroughs, companies launch the next wave of new technologies in Indiana, confident that in a state that works, the sky is the limit."
The 225,000 square-foot Lafayette facility, the company's first final assembly plant in Indiana, will assemble the new LEAP engine from CFM International, a 50/50 joint company of GE and Snecma (Safran) of France. CFM, which will enter service in 2016, has already logged total orders and commitments with airlines for more than 6,000 LEAP jet engines. It will power new Airbus A320neo, Boeing 737 MAX and COMAC (China) C919 aircraft for airlines worldwide.
Launched in 2008, the LEAP is now undergoing development testing. As the engine transitions to the production phase, GE could begin hiring at the new Lafayette facility as early as 2015. Within five years, the plant�s workforce is expected to exceed 200 people with the capacity to do final assembly for the engine as well as the engine�s hot section (compressor, combustor and high pressure turbine). The new jobs are expected to pay an average wage of $36 an hour, which includes both hourly and salaried positions.
"We are thrilled by the airline industry's enthusiasm for the new LEAP engine and its ground-breaking technologies," said Joyce, president and chief executive officer of GE Aviation. "Beginning in 2015, the LEAP engine will experience a dramatic production ramp-up for the remainder of the decade. We are grateful to the entire Indiana team in ensuring that our Lafayette assembly plant will soon be up and running."
Final assembly of the LEAP engine at the Lafayette facility will involve using components and sub-assemblies from GE and Snecma operations, as well as from their suppliers around the world. The facility will operate a highly advanced assembly line incorporating several new technologies, including automated vision inspection systems and radio frequency parts management to easily spot parts on the shop floor.
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered General Electric Aviation up to $3,300,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $332,000 in training grants based on the company's job creation plans. These incentives are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. In addition, the IEDC will provide the community with up to $1,350,000 in infrastructure assistance from the state's Industrial Development Grant Fund. The city of Lafayette and Tippecanoe County will consider additional incentives at the request of the Greater Lafayette Commerce.
"History is being made today as we welcome GE Aviation to the Lafayette community," said Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski. "We are proud to be part of a team that is helping to bring the next generation of commercial aircraft engines for the future of global air transportation. The LEAP engine assembly plant and Lafayette will be at the forefront of aviation engine technology. But just as important for the Lafayette community is the substantial investment GE is making in a state of the art manufacturing facility that will create up to 200 high paying jobs - jobs that comfortably support a family and add to our quality of life - that was a top priority of mine."
The Lafayette facility will be GE's fifth location in Indiana. The company employs nearly 1,700 Hoosiers across the state, including Fort Wayne, Bloomington, Terre Haute and Connersville. In addition, GE spends more than $440 million with suppliers in Indiana, helping support 1,500 supplier jobs in the state.
"Tippecanoe County eagerly welcomes GE Aviation, the fourth company to choose Park 350 for a significant industrial investment," said Tippecanoe County Commissioner John Knochel. "This is a company already renowned for successfully setting its sight on the future in global reach and technological advances. Now, it will pioneer an all-new aircraft engine with a 'made in Lafayette, Ind.' stamp, and supply it to commercial aircraft manufacturers around the world."
Today's announcement comes on the heels of a long list of legislative achievements realized during the Indiana General Assembly's 2014 session, continuing to enhance Indiana's reputation as a state that works for business. Under Governor Pence's leadership, Indiana reformed taxes to encourage new job growth, including placing the corporate income tax on a reduction schedule, ultimately falling to 4.9 percent. Local communities now also have an enhanced abatement tool and the ability to provide further property tax relief to small businesses.
About GE Aviation
GE Aviation, an operating unit of GE, is a world-leading provider of jet engines, components and integrated systems for commercial and military aircraft. GE Aviation has a global service network to support these offerings. For more information, visit us at www.geaviation.com.
About IEDC
Created in 2005 to replace the former Department of Commerce, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation is governed by a 12-member board chaired by Governor Mike Pence. Victor Smith serves as the Indiana Secretary of Commerce and Eric Doden is the president of the IEDC.
The IEDC oversees programs enacted by the General Assembly including tax credits, workforce training grants and public infrastructure assistance. All tax credits are performance-based. Therefore, companies must first invest in Indiana through job creation or capital investment before incentives are paid. A company who does not meet its full projections only receives a percentage of the incentives proportional to its actual investment. For more information about IEDC, visit www.iedc.in.gov.

WARSAW — Columbia City's boys swim team saw its season come to a conclusion at Saturday's sectional.
The Eagles garnered 187 team points to finish fourth. Warsaw won the meet with 498.5 points.
Eagle coach Kristen Swonger was pleased with the performance overall of her team.
"I think the boys did a fantastic job," she said. "We came in fourth overall with just a few swimmers and they swam great."
The top finish for Columbia City was a pair of relay teams that came in fifth. The 200 freestyle relay group of Jared Mertz, Nathan Koch, Dayne Trump and Foster Eber grabbed fifth and the same squad of four swimmers also finished fifth in the 400 freestyle relay.
"Our relays all improved their times," Swonger said. "It was a good way to end the season."
Individually, the top finish was by Eber, who grabbed sixth in the 50 freestyle.
The state meet will be this weekend in Indianapolis. Advancement was earned by either placing first at sectionals or winning one of the wild card spots.

Large-scale atomistic simulations considering a $5$~nm in radius H-passivated Si nanosphere that impacts with relatively low energies onto a H-passivated Si substrate reveal a transition between two fundamental collision modes. At impacting speeds of less than $\sim1000$~m/s {\it particle-reflection} dominates. At increased speeds the partial onset in the nanosphere of a $\beta$-tin phase on the approach followed by $a$-Si phase on the recoil is an efficient dissipative route that promotes {\it particle-capture}. In spite of significant deformation, the integrity of the deposited nanosphere is retained. Our result explains the efficient fabrication of nanoparticulate films by hypersonic impaction, where the nanoparticle impact velocities equal $1000$--$2000$~m/s. \\[3pt] [1] M. Suri and T.

Transcript:How to Create Prices for a Menu
Pricing your menu can be a tricky thing. You don't want to scare off your target clientele by making them feel like they'll need to take out a loan to have a meal. But, at the same time, you are in business to make a living, so you need to ensure you cover your overhead costs and turn a profit.
Basics for Creating Prices for a Menu
Here are some criteria to consider when creating prices. First, you'll want to do your research by taking note of other restaurants that reflect a similar cuisine and that are located within your area. It's good to know what the competition is doing in terms of their pricing, including when and to what degree they offer specials, discounts, or other incentives. For example, if you are offering shrimp scampi at $19.00 but your competitor is charging $14.00, you'll have to see what is different between the two by going to try theirs out. You may be right with your pricing because you offer more shrimp or larger shrimp—something you can accordingly highlight on your menu in the description in a way where patrons can easily understand the difference. However, if your dishes are very similar, you may want to consider reaching a similar price point.
Information About Creating Prices for a Menu
Beyond simply emulating what your competition is doing – after all, you do want to differentiate yourself – there are other things you need to consider when pricing your menu. Creating unique menu items is a way you might be able to charge a little more––after all, going out is often just a way to break from the humdrum at home.
More Information About Creating Prices for a Menu
Another idea is to create a variety of dishes that are offered at a wide range of prices. Including local, seasonal produce is a way to keep things fresh and cost-effective, though certain items come at a premium any time of the year. Restaurants also tend to get away with charging a little more for nightly specials, so you might try balancing more expensive limited offerings like lobster, fish, or beef with staples that cost less to make like a stew, pasta dish, pizzas or sandwiches and which can be consistently priced on the lower end on your menu.
Additional Information About Creating Prices for a Menu
Before you get too far down the line in pricing your menu, it's essential to take a look at your overhead so that you know how to set your profit margins.As a trusty old school rule of thumb, the actual cost of creating a menu item should never exceed about thirty-five percent of its selling price to patrons. Simply stated, if you were to pay $10 for the raw ingredients to create a dish in the back of the house, by this rule you would need to charge at least $28.50 to customers who order it. The 65% net on the order goes pay your kitchen and front of the house staff, in addition to rent, utilities, entertainment, marketing, insurance, maintenance, and anything else that goes out the door at the end of the day.
Having a good desktop publishing system is a great way to both assess your ongoing flexible and fixed expenses that sales go against, but it's also handy to be able to make slight adjustments to menu pricing as needed throughout the year. If you keep close tabs, you can raise (or lower) prices more gradually over time, as opposed to jacking up menu prices once or twice a year in amounts that might scare off customers. Of course, you want to be careful not to keep regular customers guessing––be sure to keep certain core items as consistently priced as possible, for as long as possible. By carefully managing portions and waste as well as maintaining a tight inventory, you can also maximize your profits without having to overprice your menu. Consider measuring portions to ensure that all items are to size.
Finally, be sure to convey to your customers the value they are getting by visiting your restaurant, whether by low prices for quality food, or by offering a unique, extraordinary menu item that comes in for less than the competition.

KFC offers boneless chicken
NEW YORK -- KFC is stripping out the bones to make it easier for people to eat its chicken.
The fast-food chain is introducing deep-fried boneless chicken pieces on April 14 as an alternative to its traditional breast, thigh and drumstick pieces.
The new offering reflects the growing popularity of nuggets and strips that are easier to eat on the go, as well as Americans' seemingly endless desire for more convenient foods. KFC says nearly four out of five servings of fried chicken in the U.S. are now boneless.
Based on customer trends, the company says chicken with bones could eventually be pushed off its menu.
The new boneless, skinless pieces are about twice the size of KFC's crispy strips and come in white or dark meat.
Spokesman Rick Maynard said it took two to three years to develop its version of boneless chicken, which he said performed strongly in test markets including Oklahoma City and Omaha last year. He said the new boneless pieces will also replace the chicken filets used in sandwiches.
KFC has more than 18,000 restaurants around the world, including more than 4,500 in the U.S. Its parent company Yum Brands Inc. also owns Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, which have also been introducing major new menu offerings in recent months.

So what you really want then is for the Shelby County DA and a Shelby County judge to spend thousands of tax payer dollars trying the case. Then the attorney general can spend thousands of dollars arguing the case on appeal. Then, when the case is sent back to the trial court because of the impropriety of the Shelby County DA and a Shelby County Judge trying the case originally, thousands of tax payer dollars can be spent trying the case again (by the St. Clair prosecutor and judge). You're right that makes much more sense than doing it the way it's being done.
The general fund has been cut, gutted really. That's really my point that this isn't some type of frivolous general fund budget that he has proposed, it has been cut big time. I'm not joyously laughing about taking money from education, but what other choice is there? Would you rather the prisoners be released? You make it sound as if we're just handing out $100 bills to inmates, let's be real, the money is being used to ensure that they remain inmates.
And here's another thing. I went and looked at the proposed budget expecting to see money being sent to agencies that don't need it in the middle of a budget crisis. What I found is that this budget makes cuts where cuts needed to be made. Things like the cosmetology board are not going to be funded with this budget. Everyone wants to complain about congress trying to raise taxes and not make cuts; this governor has made the cuts, all he is now asking is to fund the stuff that actually needs to be funded by moving money that WE ALREADY HAVE!
People are so up in arms about the Gov. budget, but what is he supposed to do. Even if he proposed tax increases the leg. would never agree to them. He has taken the only position that is available. Moving funds from education to ensure that the courts continue to operate sounds far from irresponsible or cold-hearted.
Bill Johnson is insane. I attended a gubernatorial forum in Auburn where he claimed that his run-ins with the IRS over not paying his taxes qualified him to be governor. He then went on to talk, somewhat clandestinely, about spending time as some type of "freedom fighter" (you make your own conclusion as to what that is) in South America, which also qualified him to be governor. I honestly think that something is wrong with the guy upstairs.
I can tell that intelligence is your strong suit.
The biggest question that I have after reading this article is...who cares? I'm continually astonished that with Jefferson County on the verge of bankruptcy and Birmingham perpetually sinking into irrelevancy, the officials of both squabble over petty insignificant things.
Gov. Bentley is right. What he said is not "threatening" to no-christians, he just said he wants everyone to follow the path that he veiws as correct. He didn't say "Boy, those people that are non-christians, they better watch out because I'm not putting up with them anymore."
And Rev. Dr. David Freeman needs to examine exactally what he professes to be a reverend of. This idea that we are all right just taking different paths to get there is about the most idioctic thing someone who professes to a baptist minister could espouse. By that logic why go to church, why accept Christ, why do anything that the Baptist church teaches? What a moron.
If UAH is anything like Auburn this will just be University sanctioned extortion. Auburn's food venues are waaay overpriced. I could stretch my university required mealplan nearly twice as far off campus. And not only that but if you don't use all of the money in your plan within a year, the University collects whatever balance is left.

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation has removed nine violent arcade-style games from rest stops on the Massachusetts Turnpike in Charlton, Ludlow, Lee, and Beverly, according to a Boston Globe report.
The move comes less than a month after the December 14 schoolhouse massacre in Newtown, Conn., which left 20 children and six adults dead. Transportation secretary Richard Davey said pulling the games just made sense in light of the events.
"Bottom line is I think there isn't a person who doesn't believe that there isn't too much violence in our society, and games can glorify that," Davey said. "A video game in a public space could be used by anybody of any age. At the end of the day, those games are there to entertain kids, probably for a few minutes, while their parents are resting from a long trip."
Two of the games removed by the state were Time Crisis and Beach Head 2000. The others were not specified. Driving games like H20 Overdrive were left at the rest stops to "challenge driving skills."
US Vice President Joe Biden will meet with representatives from the video game industry today in Washington, D.C. as part of a wider task force aimed at examining the role of violent media in mass shootings.
