For anyone listening carefully, President Obama made a bold statement in his weekly radio address Saturday on job training. "Government is not--and should not be--the main engine of job-creation in this country," he said.
For a president facing reelection in a sluggish economy, where unemployment lingers stubbornly around 9 percent and looming uncertainty over the debt ceiling could spark a double-dip recession, it takes guts to acknowledge that he doesn't hold the power to fix it.
He's right, of course. But as anyone in therapy will tell you, admitting that you alone don't have the power to heal your wounds is incredibly difficult. It is even harder when you are the leader of a large, struggling populace that doesn't see the economy picking up and expects you to fix it.
Job training is not sexy, but it is also is one of the most effective ways to place people into employment and grow a skilled workforce in the long term. It has the added benefit of being a shockingly bipartisan effort. The White House, Republicans and Democrats in Congress, and the business community all see eye to eye on the need for partnerships between government, higher education, and the private sector to help job seekers learn the skills that make them employable.
Even in one of the most bitterly divided congressional sessions in recent memory, Republicans and Democrats alike could find themselves voting en masse for legislation that will update the nation's job training programs to better align them with economic needs. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., expects to shepherd a bill through Congress this year—with the full support of Republicans. Murray chairs the workforce subcommittee on the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. She has been working on the bill for several years with ranking member Mike Enzi, R-Wyo.
The draft job training measure introduces a new thread of economic thinking into the state and city agencies that operate the federally funded job-training facilities—tying the programs on the ground to a unified economic development plan. If it works, the legislation could form a model for bridging a skills gap between jobs and job seekers that continues to plague education policymakers and businesses.
It's hard to argue with that logic, even if you're a House Republican. In a Saturday address skewering the White House for bloated government spending, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., also said that policymakers should "focus our efforts toward growing the private sector where jobs are created."
The White House is adopting its own full-court press on job training apart from Congress. Obama will visit Raleigh, N.C., on Monday to meet with his Jobs Council to work on the steps the government can take to spur private sector hiring in the short-term and ensure our workers have the skills and training that the employers need. Earlier this week, the White House announced a new partnership with the National Association of Manufacturers—a traditionally Republican-leaning organization—to provide 500,000 community college students with "industry-recognized credentials." Some of those credentials could be earned quickly, in months rather than years, and place people in good-paying jobs that manufacturers for years have been struggling to fill.
Obama neatly placed his finger on the Zeitgeist of the American thinking when he offered these parting words about the voters who reach out to him. "They aren't asking for much. They're just looking for a job that covers their bills. They're just looking for a little financial security." Obama, on his own, won't be able to curb their money anxieties. If he is successful in pressing policymakers and the business community to work together to train a new workforce, it will go a long way toward keeping the economy afloat—even if it doesn't give him much of a boost at the ballot box next year.

Reports: Israeli president to be indicted within weeks
Israeli prosecutors have started to draft an indictment against President Moshe Katsav on charges including rape, army radio reported Tuesday.
The draft indictment will be presented within two weeks to Attorney General Menachem Mazuz, who will then decide whether to formally charge Katsav, local media said Tuesday.
Israeli police announced on Sunday that evidence gathered during a weeks-long investigation was enough to charge the 60-year-old head of state with rape, sexual harassment and wire-tapping.
Katsav has strongly denied the allegations and has so far refused to step down from his largely ceremonial post. The president thinks that an indictment will not be filed, his attorney said.
Katsav is immune from prosecution while president but could be charged if impeached by the Knesset.

Additional Location Information
port nolloth:
"Divers Haven on the Diamond Coast...". Port Nolloth is situated 144km north-west of Springbok. It was established in 1854 as a small vessel harbour as well as a railway junction for the copper mining industry. The harbour's narrow and shallow entrance made it unsuitable for ore carriers. The copper for export was brought to the coast along a 96-mile long narrow gauge railway from the mines near Okiep. It continues to serve this purpose until well into the 20th century, but was never called on to handle any significant volume of cargo.
During more recent years Port Nolloth emerged as a centre of small-scale recovery mining. Perfect diamonds were discovered 6 miles south of Port Nolloth in 1925 and the village came to life once more, buzzing with popularity and high fever. In the 1960's it was discovered that this was the only coast in the world where gem quality diamonds could be dredged from the bottom of the sea by remote deep sea operations or by hardy divers. Sometimes many diamonds are found (a jackpot!) and sometimes few or nothing at all. Boats have come and gone and fortunes have been made and lost.
Port Nolloth is also the only holiday resort along the diamond coast. Fishing trawlers and dredgers against spectacular sunsets and the clean beaches makes this town an ideal holiday spot. Examples of the Nama culture can be seen at Lekkersing, which is inland, north of Port Nolloth. The bay on which the Port sits was known by the indigenous Namaqua people as "Aukwatowa" ("where the water took away the old man"). Its location was marked by Bartolomeu Dias on his epic voyage around the Cape of Good Hope in 1487.
attractions and activities
The Port Nolloth Museum Centre actually consists of two small but well done Museum sites. The Port Nollth Museum is dedicated to the history of Port Nolloth and the culture in the area. It includes exhibits on the Khoekhoen, town history, diamond diving and shipwrecks. The Port Nolloth biodiversity of the two contrasting environments: the Atlantic Ocean and the desert-like areas of the coastal dunes and the Richtersveld. Live exhibits of small marine creatures, reptiles and invertebrates are combined with museum displays. Both museum sites are also suitable for the younger generation. Local arts and crafts can be purchased in the museum shops.
Port Nolloth is a good place for birding and more than 80 species have been recorded including many endemics. Highlights for birders are black cormorant, cape cormorant, crowned cormorant, African black oystercatcher, hartiaubs gull, three species of sunbirds and barlow's lark.
Local tour operators offer tours into the Richtersveld (including the Orange River) and diamond tours to Kleinzee are possible.

"We not supposed to have that stuff down here," says the other man disapprovingly. "That breeds trouble."
Williams agrees: "The owner of that station was wrong for lettin' it continue."
The station's owner, Dave Chung, expresses great reluctance to talk about the incident, citing disruption of his business. He does, however, say that he was approached sometime in August by an African-American police officer who showed him a badge and asked whether he would be willing to lease the far end of his lot. "You talk to police about this," Chung keeps saying. "Not me."
The "toy salesmen," as it turns out, had set up shop in another nearby location, the Phillips 66 Service Center at 3720 Kingshighway, a few blocks west of Chung's Shell station. Thomas Puckett, owner of that station, says he was initially approached by a go-between, a local preacher whose name he cannot recall. "He offered to rent the lot for these guys," says Puckett. "He say, 'Let us set up here, we pay you $50. They'd come on a weekend -- three, four white guys -- and then I wouldn't see them for a month or two later." Puckett says he's sure the concession on his lot was the same one that set up "down there at the Shell lot when they had that trouble. But no, I never saw no gambling, nothing like that here. Long as they sat down there on the lot and done they stuff, I didn't have no complaint about them."
Puckett says he saw a vending license displayed on the concession but didn't pay much attention to it. Tiny, Jonathan and Big R say the same thing: They saw some sort of license displayed. This intrigues Stan Piekarski, the city's chief deputy license collector. Piekarski says that neither Haisch nor Royal had a vending license. It's a moot issue anyway, says Piekarski. Under the vending ordinance, revised in 2000, sidewalk or street vending is permitted only in special vending districts. The intersection of Marcus and Natural Bridge is not one of them. Nor may vendors set up shop on private property, he adds, "not unless they have a business license and an occupancy permit."
"It is obviously not a day-in, day-out operation," surmises Mel Harlston. "It looks more to be a roving crap game. Look at the sightings. We know about Marcus and Natural Bridge. We know about the Phillips 66 on Kingshighway. And I've been told [they were operating at] Lillian and Goodfellow. I've been told Grand and Gravois, the Vickers Station on Jennings Station Road, and the Post says that these people had been in East St. Louis. So if you got a map and put some pins in it, you've plotted out some of the lowest-income neighborhoods around. I mean, nobody has seen them in Creve Coeur, in which case they would really have to sell toys. These guys are real predators. You can imagine them grinning at these silly kids running around emptying their pockets to play this fixed game. And look at all the money it's separating from people. The foolish mind is out $300-$400 before they've even caught their breath, just because they had it in their pocket."
Matt Hely, a local sideshow performer, spent three years with Ringling Bros. Circus and, more recently, the Bobby Reynolds Sideshow, which performed in February at the City Museum. He has seen and studied carnival fraud in its various manifestations. Told of the game, he nods knowingly. "It's an old carny hustle," Hely, 42, remarks, "a sophisticated version of three-card monte. You don't see it worked too much anymore -- all the big carnivals these days are pretty much legit. But Royal American Shows used to do that stuff, and one of the last times they came through town, there was a guy got beat out of $1,000 on that scam." Hely says that the people who run such games travel from town to town and are called alibi agents. "An alibi agent is a guy that comes up with an alibi to convince you that, even though you're sure you won, you didn't. They're fast-talk artists, and they do their bit with the numbers real fast, and there's no way you're ever going to beat them out of the big prize, whatever that may be."
"It's really outrageous, when you think about it," says Mel Harlston. "It should have been shut down by the police. Instead it's protected by one under the color of his authority. How audacious is that? I mean, you wouldn't have a cop working security on a crack house. Why is this any different?"
In early October, the RFT asked St. Louis Police Chief Joseph Mokwa about the gambling game on the Shell station lot, as well as the allegation that one of his officers was complicit in the operation. Mokwa, who had been on the scene just after the shooting on Sept. 2, said this was news to him: "It's illegal, if that's what was happening, and that's why a lot of these kind of shows like Royal American that came into town 20 years ago are no longer allowed. I've never heard that this was happening, and I don't know that it was, but I'm going to find out."

The holidays are quickly approaching, and this year I'm making an Advent Calendar. If you aren't familiar with Advent, check out this article. Now I'm not a religious man but I do celebrate Christmas, and I have the fondest memories counting down the days in December as a child. Who am I kidding? I STILL count down the days until Christmas!! This Advent calendar is relatively basic in design, but has 25 little cubbies with enough room for a special treat or a secret message. In the first part of the two-part series, I start working on the grid structure and the hanging of the doors. The grid structure is creating using a shop-made jig that is very similar to a box-joint jig. And if you've been following the Shop Journal on the blog, you'll know how much of a pain the door hanging has been (see links below). But I finally came up with a good solution that I think you are going to like. It involves the use of Blind Nails from FastCap (pictured left). Want to build along with me?

Dmitry Medvedev was absolutely gleeful when he said yesterday that the global financial crisis signaled the end of the era of American economic leadership. "The times when one economy and one country dominated are gone for good," the Russian president said.
Trust the Russians to get things backwards. History will eventually show that the great financial crisis of 2008 marked the end of the period of relative American economic decline and the start of a new era of dominance.
Why is there a perception that the United States is falling? In Thomas Friedman's "flat world," relentless globalization–started by Washington, by the way–is spreading wealth from nation to nation. And as this process continues, the world's economic supremo is losing its primacy at an alarming rate. Last year, Americans comprised 4.6 percent of the world's population and produced 25.4 percent of its gross domestic product. But if prosperity is eventually spread evenly, the United States will one day become an economic backwater with under five percent of global output.
But the world is not flat, and the last thing we should be doing is extrapolating, especially in the middle of a downturn that could be as severe as the Great Depression. Before recent events, just about all of us assumed we were living in "China's century." Beijing has an economy that is still booming, but it is, for various reasons, extraordinarily vulnerable. And in a severe downturn, which virtually every Chinese economist now expects, the shaky political system could falter. The result might be a China in chaos for years-and a United States on the rise.
Will America suffer financial hardship? Most definitely. But we are a country that has a unique ability to recover. Whatever happens in the next few years, our political system will remain the same. We cannot, however, be so sure that the governments of China and Russia will be as resilient. Our economy will contract, but other economies will contract faster and further. And ours will recover earlier and more vigorously.
In periods of turmoil, investors and speculators run for safe havens, and that remains the dollar. Just ask the now-gloating Medvedev. Since the second week of August, Russians have pulled $52 billion out of their country, with much of this ending up in U.S. Treasury obligations. If I were him, I would be more careful about predicting the decline of the only country that will be in a position to bailout his Russia in the years ahead.

Slim2Win: Emma Dance . . . overcoming the diet brick wall
Posted: April 19, 2014|
Last week I hit a diet brick wall.
Until then I had been coping fine. I was resisting cravings, changing my shopping habits and ordering a salad every time I went out to eat – and it was paying off.
Every time I was measured, around 5-6cm had come off my stomach and the number on the scales was slowly moving in the right direction.
It made everything – even the aching muscles – worth it.
Not last week though. Suddenly my food cravings became unbearable. I found myself fantasising about fat, juicy burgers and pizzas dripping with cheese. I don't usually have much of a sweet tooth but the idea of cramming as much chocolate as possible in my mouth was bizarrely appealing. Walking to work past the Cornish pasty shop made me salivate and it took every ounce of self-control not to sprint into KFC on the way home and eat all kinds of fried stuff for dinner instead of the healthy, vegetable-laden dish I had planned.
But I resisted, telling myself that I'd be rewarded for my hard work. So when I stepped on to the scales and they barely moved it was more than disappointing, and when the tape measure said I'd only lost 2cm it was genuinely heartbreaking. And not just for me. I felt like I'd let my personal trainer at Fitness First, Hetty Alton, down too. She spends hours a week trying to help me get in shape, and watching me turn increasingly vibrant shades of purple while dripping with sweat can't be much fun for her, so I want to make her feel that her time has been worth it too. So when the results aren't as good as I'd like, I really feel like a failure.
I've always prided myself on not being a quitter though. I like to say I'm tenacious, growing up my parents would probably have said 'stubborn' (or maybe something even less flattering) – either way, I don't give up easily and one setback wasn't going to make me give up. If anything it made me even more determined.
So last weekend not a drop of alcohol passed my lips, I've been cooking my healthiest recipes and I've been pushing myself even harder at the gym.
And this week, so far three people have told me (unprompted!) that I'm looking slimmer.
Yes, I still want a burger, but nothing tastes as good as getting a compliment like that feels.

Multimedia event transforms vacant spaces into visual delightsWritten by Paige Aten | | firstname.lastname@example.com
For three Saturdays in April, two of Downtown Toledo's vacant buildings will get some fancy new tenants.
Almost 450 of them.
Artomatic 419!, a biennial art show presented by the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo, will take place April 2, 9 and 16 at 407 Washington St. and 25 S. St. Clair St., from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. each day.
Ryan Bunch, performing and literary arts coordinator for the arts commission, said a record number of artists hoping to show their work prompted this year's expansion into two spaces.
"This is the first year we've had two buildings. It's pretty exciting," Bunch said.
Artomatic 419! will feature hundreds of visual and performing artists from all across Northwest Ohio and neighboring areas. Each visual artist is given 8 feet of wall space to display his or her work, with which they can do whatever they want.
"There's no censor or jury. It's pretty much a free-for-all," Bunch said.
Bunch said there will be every imaginable type of art on display for Artomatic 419!'s visitors. Visual media from oil paintings to photography and performing art from belly dancing to poetry readings will be featured.
"It's just a really cool mix," said Bunch, adding that the range of art being shown runs the gamut from professional art all the way to people who are showing for the first time in an effort to establish themselves.
In addition to showing their work, artists also perform at least 10 hours of volunteer work over the course of the show. Bunch said that volunteer time has an inspirational impact on everyone involved.
"The amount of volunteer time and passion everyone shows is awesome," he said.
Holly Whitney, an artist showing at Artomatic 419! for the first time this year, agreed.
"I'm really looking forward to the volunteering process. I'm excited about everything. I'm really not nervous at all," she said.
Both of the buildings that will play host to hundreds of displays of art are currently vacant. The space on Washington Street will be filled to its three-story brim with visual art and performance spaces.
Bunch said seeing the space full of art transforms it.
"Watching vacant buildings come alive again is really inspiring," he said.
Art will cover almost every inch, including inside closets, stairwells and bathrooms. In fact, one bathroom was the first space to be claimed by the artists, Bunch said.
There will also be a new addition to the Artomatic 419! experience in the Washington Street building: a film-screening room. In this area, local filmmakers' work will run on a loop throughout the event.
Another group whose members will have work on display in the Washington Street building is Prizm, a creative community based out of Perrysburg. Michael Hall, a member of the group who is also a professional artist, said the members of the group always enjoy participating in Artomatic 419!
"It's quite a show. It's actually Toledo's best art show," he said. "But it's not just an art show. It's kind of like a big party."
He also said he enjoys seeing how involved all of the volunteers get, and that part of what makes the show so great is the variety of art that is featured.
"You get all backgrounds and all kinds of artists, young and old," he said.
Artist Richard Reed, who will have a display in the Washington Street building, agreed that the variety and openness of the art makes Artomatic 419! what it is.
"Anyone who wants to show can get involved. There are some great things to see," he said.
In an effort to help visitors move through the art in a way that will allow them to see as much as possible, one local artist has developed a creative interactive experience.
Ryan Forquer is an illustrator by trade, but this year he decided to add another dimension to his display at Artomatic 419! He created a sort of scavenger hunt through the Washington Street building that will have participants covering the entire building as they piece together a story.
"It's a little bit of a puzzle. Basically you're sent to the building to investigate paranormal activity and you're looking for pieces of a journal," he said. "The building is old so I thought a ghost story would be cool."
Patrons who choose to follow Forquer's story will receive a card from the information table in
the Washington Street building. There is a clue that will lead them to the next piece of the story, which is hidden in an exhibit. This path will continue through five artists' exhibits, until participants reach Forquer's table at the end.
At that point, Forquer said, participants have a decision to make.
"There are two options for how the story will end. People can vote for which one they want, and whichever one gets the most votes will be posted on my website," he said.
Everyone who participates will be entered for drawings, with prizes donated by local artists and restaurants.
"I think it will be very fun," Forquer said.
Michelle Carlson, programs director for the arts commission, said Forquer's idea will help move people through the exhibits in a new way.
"It's a really great way to make the exhibits more meaningful," she said.
While the Washington Street space is the larger of the two, Bunch said the space on St. Clair Street is not to be missed either. Several more artists will show their work there, and there is another performance art space there as well.
"That space is more rugged. It lends itself to Toledo's industrial history," he said.
After Artomatic 419! vacates the space, it will be renovated and reopened as an art supply store — the only one of its kind in Downtown Toledo, Bunch said.
An after-party will take place every night after the show at the Event Center in Downtown Toledo. These parties are open to the public and will celebrate, along with Artomatic 419!, all the art and creativity Toledo has to offer, Bunch said.

The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has recognized DesignWorks, LC, a Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning firm in Charleston, and The Ponds, a 1,950-acre master-planned community set in Summerville, with an Award of Merit in the category of Analysis and Planning.
DesignWorks had been retained by Greenwood Communities and Resorts, developer of The Ponds, to create memorable landscapes throughout the property while remaining sensitive to the environment.
The results are seen in the landscaped entrance to the property featuring The Ponds Tower, manicured herb and floral gardens surrounding the 19th century restored farmhouse and development of the first phase of a 60-plus-mile sidewalk and trail system leading to the 1,100-acre nature preserve.
The ASLA Awards recognize the wide variety of professional activities that lead to, guide, or evaluate landscape architectural design. The main criteria for judging include quality of design, functionality, relationship to context, environmental responsibility, impact on environmental decision-making, and overall relevance to landscape architecture, the public and the environment.

The company CEO told ABC News they are deeply saddened by the events and are "evaluating the incident to see if they can better protect Craigslist users."
But experts say little can be done to prevent criminals from using the Internet to stalk their prey.
After the arrest today, Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster issued a statement, saying, "We are very pleased to hear that the person alleged to have committed these crimes has been arrested, and we will continue to provide law enforcement agencies with any assistance necessary to prosecution of the case."

Ottawa Senators Information
One of the greatest and most famous teams of the early years of hockey, the Ottawa Senators existed from 1901 to 1934 -- winning nine Stanley Cups in that time -- before relocating to St Louis, MO. as the St Louis Eagles for the 1934-35 season.
The NHL's planned 1992 expansion had several strong contenders, but, starting in 1989, original owner Bruce Firestone put together an energetic bid to revive NHL hockey in Ottawa, using the last surviving original Senator, Frank Finnigan, as its public face. The new-look Senators won one of the two slots (along with the Tampa Bay Lightning) and began play in 1992. The Senators' bid had been considered something of a long-shot, and ran into financial trouble immediately. Firestone had trouble borrowing money to meet the 50 million dollar expansion fee.
Unfortunately, as with the Lightning's campaign, which many felt similarly won its bid over a more favoured St. Petersburg group because it was led by former NHL great Phil Esposito -- good public relations could not disguise the lack of talent. The modern-day Senators played their first game in the Ottawa Civic Centre, a small arena by professional standards, seating 9,862, and beat the Montreal Canadiens 5-3. Tragically, Finnigan died before the team started play, and the win against the Habs was the last bit of glory the new Senators would see; they were the second worst team in the league, losing 70 games in the 1992-93 season (only the San Jose Sharks had a worse record, which included an NHL record 71 losses) , and suffered through several miserable seasons there after.

For several years management had trouble securing financing for the construction of an arena. The team received no financial help from government, including a refusal by the Ontario government to pay for a new $25M highway interchange. On August 17, 1993, Bruce Firestone resigned after missing mortgage and development payments and was replaced by Rod Bryden, a former high tech tycoon. A year later he managed to borrow enough to pay for a $188 million arena called the Palladium. Although widely acknowledged as a well-designed arena, in the years since construction the arena has been criticized for being difficult to reach. It is located in the far west end of Ottawa, and is a long trip from many other areas, especially in the east or the Outaouais. Difficulties are compounded by frequent traffic difficulties at game time, as well as the isolation of the arena, which makes it difficult for celebrations to continue naturally after the game. Highway improvements are planned.

Two major things happened for the Ottawa Senators in January 1996: Jacques Martin became their head coach and the team moved into their new arena, the 18,500-seat Palladium (now known as the Scotiabank Place, seating 19,311) in Kanata, a suburb of Ottawa and now part of the city of Ottawa. While Ottawa finished the 1995-96 season with a poor record, it marked the start of a remarkable franchise turnaround. Daniel Alfredsson became the first Senator to win the Calder Trophy. The 1996-97 NHL season saw the Senators make the playoffs for the first time, where they lost a thrilling seven-game series to the Buffalo Sabres.

Ottawa was locked in a contract dispute with Alexei Yashin during the 1999-00 NHL season. Yashin (who some fans referred to as 'Cashin' throughout this incident) held out for the entire season, but it was ruled that he still owed the Senators a year. The regular season was successful, as they finished with 93 points, in second place, however a 4-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs ended the playoffs quickly. Yashin played during the 2000-01 season, but was traded in the summer of 2001 to the New York Islanders for Zdeno Chara, Bill Muckalt, and the Islanders' first round, and second overall, pick, which the Senators used to draft Jason Spezza. The Senators lost again to the Maple Leafs in the first round, this time in a 4-0 sweep, where they were repeatedly stymied by Leafs' goaltender Curtis Joseph.

Ottawa's jerseys (from top-left clockwise: Home, Away, 3rd Jerseys)The Senators filed for bankruptcy on January 9, 2003, after a long history of debt. They continued regular season play after getting some emergency financing from the NHL. Despite the off-ice problems, Ottawa won the President's Trophy in the 2002-03 NHL season, finishing with a league-best 113 points. In the playoffs they defeated the Yashin-led New York Islanders and Philadelphia Flyers before coming within one game of making it into the Stanley Cup final series, falling to the eventual champions, the New Jersey Devils. In September 2003, the team was purchased by pharmaceutical magnate Eugene Melnyk.

Ottawa Senators Hockey Playoffs Tickets
In the first round of the 2004 NHL playoffs, the Senators lost to the Toronto Maple Leafs for the 4th time in 5 years after their goalie, Patrick Lalime, let in two pillow-soft goals in the series 7th game. Ottawa had developed a strong rivalry with their Ontario cousins and there was a great deal of pressure on the team to finally defeat their archrivals. Two days after the Senators' loss, Jacques Martin was fired and Patrick Lalime was later traded to St.Louis. Jacques Martin had been coach of the Senators for eight and a half years. Martin was widely respected, had a 341-255-96 regular season record with the Senators and had led the team to eight consecutive playoff appearances, and was widely credited with changing the team into a strong league leader. However, after losing eight of twelve playoff series, including four straight to the Maple Leafs, team management felt that a new coach was required for playoff success. On June 8, 2004, Bryan Murray became the team's fifth head coach.

On August 23rd, 2005, shortly after the end of the 2004-05 NHL lockout, Marian Hossa, one of the Senators's best players, was traded with defenceman Greg de Vries to the Atlanta Thrashers for former first round draft pick Dany Heatley, who had requested a trade out of Atlanta to shake his personal demons associated with Atlanta after causing a car crash that killed teammate Dan Snyder, who was driving with Heatley at the time. Heatley has since regained the All-Star form he displayed in his rookie year on a line with Alfredsson and young centre Jason Spezza, who led the AHL in scoring during the lockout.

On October 5th, 2005, Alfredsson and Heatley became the first players to score the winning goals for a shoot out in NHL History, they both scored against Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Ed Belfour. Their sticks were subsequently sent to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Heatley also set a team record with the longest consecutive point-scoring streak at 22 games. On February 2nd, 2006, the team set its own record scoring three short handed goals in one game. Antoine Vermette and Mike Fisher both scored short handed within the same penalty in the second period and team captain Daniel Alfredson scored the third short handed goal in the third period.

You Can Heal Your Life (1984)
by Louise Hay
No current Talk conversations about this book.
In Essence ...
A powerful book that helps you find the emotional cause of physical illness and take responsibility for your health. The mental causes the physical illness and the metaphysical way to overcome them ...
The first few chapters pushed me face to face with harsh reality. I was uneasy. They turned me off and made me feel guilty. Then slowly, slowly, I cam back to the book and saw my faults and gradually accepted them and finally 'bit the bullet' and came to accept that I was responsible for many of the disappointments and 'ills' around me. Louise Hay taught me to take over and gain control. I love her line in this quote: "Each cell in my body has divine intelligence....I choose to be healthy and free. All is well in my world."
《生命的重建》是名副其实的心理励志世界畅销书。被全世界读者誉为人类身心健康的福音书。露易丝·海在书中为我们揭示了追求身心和谐的心理模式,从而开辟了重建和谐生命的完美道路。本书出版后,露易丝 ·海所倡导的"整体健康"观念旋风般席卷了全世界。本书创造了《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜50周第1名的骄人纪录,被译成25种文字,在35个国家或地区出版,20多年来,全球销量逾2000万册。
Everyone may not be ready or open to the ideas presented in this book, but I found it fascinating.
Never have been interested in metaphysical healing up to this point, but a friend suggested it because I was having health problems I couldn't resolve with the help of my physician. I felt a lot of what was in this book about the power of your mind really make sense. I plan to read it again.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0937611018, Paperback)If you haven't seen Hay House's Lifestyles series of gorgeous gift books, there is no better way to acquaint yourself than with publisher/author Louise Hay's You Can Heal Your Life. A bestseller for many years, You Can Heal Your Life has been republished with bright, beautiful illustrations in full, living color and exquisite typography--each and every page is a work of art by artist Joan Perrin Falquet. The timeless message of the book is that we are each responsible for our own reality and "dis-ease." Hay believes we make ourselves ill by having thoughts of self-hatred. She includes a directory of ailments and emotional causes for each with a corresponding affirmation to help overcome the illness. For example, the probable cause of multiple sclerosis is "mental hardness, hard-heartedness, iron will, and inflexibility." The healing "thought pattern" would be: "By choosing loving, joyous thoughts, I created a loving joyous world. I am safe and free." --P. Randall Cohan
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:20:31 -0400)
Argues that everyone is responsible for their own experiences, tells how to lead a more creative and fulfilling life, and discusses work, health, success, and personal relationships.

OKLAHOMA CITY – You might have noticed a very powerful sun glare obstructing your windshield while driving down the road, especially during sunrise and sunset.
That's because the fall equinox just passed through this week, altering the direction of the sun, affecting east and west roads here in Oklahoma.
"The sun has been bright," Roy West says.
Earlier Tuesday morning Roy West was traveling east towards Jones, when he was blinded by the overbearing glare of the sun.
"You just can't see, you can't see. It will be like shadows or something, especially early in the morning," said West.
"It can be a risk, you can't see stoplights sometimes, pedestrians, or the cars in front of you," said Barnes.
Ryan Barnes with the National Weather Service said the heavy rays are a result from the Fall Equinox, where the sun spends roughly an equal amount of time above and below the horizon.
"Keep your visors down and just pay attention. Always keep a good amount of space between you and the vehicle in front of you," said Barnes.
Some people clean their windshields while they're filling up with gas which obviously helps with visibility. It's also important to check your windshield wipers for any sort of wear or tear.
It's just as important to check the inside of your windshield to make sure that's clean as well when you're dealing with sun glare.
"That's what I do, exactly what I do, clean my windshield every morning," said West.
Safety precautions you can take to ultimately stay safe behind the wheel.
Over the next week or so, the sunrise will range from 7:15 a.m.-7:25 a.m., which is in the peak of morning rush hour.
A similar situation takes place during sunset, which ranges from 7:15 p.m.-7:25 p.m.

The World's Most Beautiful Couple continued to rub how beautiful they are in our jealous faces at the premiere of Brad's upcoming film, Inglourious Basterds. Not only did Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie look fabulous, they squashed any rumors that their love is on the rocks with plenty of PDA for the paps. Angelina rocked red lipstick with a nude draped dress, while Brad stuck to the classic tux with a pocket square for good measure. Angie's dress bared lots of lean leg, though her current hair color is verging on too light for her skin tone. Brad looked suave-to-the-max, but could have used a little more pizzazz.
Which half of the power couple looked the hottest?

2013 Mac Pro teardown reveals Apple's first easily repairable computer in years December 31, 2013 at 1:57 pm
The 2013 Mac Pro has been torn down, and rather remarkably, in addition to it being surprisingly good value for money, it's actually fairly easy to fix and upgrade! Upgrading the Mac Pro's RAM is easier than your desktop or laptop PC, and it's also fairly easy to upgrade the Intel Xeon (Ivy Bridge-E) CPU. All of the major components are modular and can be easily removed, though proprietary connectors mean that you can't upgrade the graphics cards or SSD with off-the-shelf components. Overall, iFixit gives the Mac Pro a repairability score of 8 out of 10; much, much higher than the latest MacBooks, iPhones, and iPads.
Apple's new 'overpriced' $10,000 Mac Pro is $2,000 cheaper than the equivalent Windows PC December 30, 2013 at 10:27 am
Last week, the new Mac Pro finally went on sale. At $3000 for the entry-level model, and a max price of $9,600 for a customized top-of-the-line model with a 12-core CPU and two GPUs, the Mac Pro certainly isn't cheap. If you take a closer look at the spec, though, the Mac Pro, rather unusually for an Apple product, is a surprisingly good deal.

Apple's new Mac Pro goes on sale, can be configured to cost $10,000 December 19, 2013 at 12:52 pm

Our sister site Coroflot hosts portfolios from every variety of artist and designer from student to established professional, and we're always looking to send some love their way.
While Dwayne Vance certainly falls on the latter end of the spectrum—he's the founder of his own design consultancy, FutureElements—his Kickstarter project, "The Hot Rod Art book: Masters of Chicken Scratch Vol 2," his second anthology of hot rod designs marks a very respectable attempt at reaching out to the next generation of designers.
The designs are alternately classic, vintage, retro, modern or futuristic and every permutation of these adjectives. In fact, even non-gearheads can appreciate the illustrations from the well-rounded selection of 15 artists: the visuals are pure eye-candy, from stylized concepts to tautly-rendered full-color pen & marker drawings.
It should come as no surprise, then, that "The Hot Rod Art Book: Masters of Chickenscratch, Vol. 2" has already met its Kickstarter goal of $5,000, the last bit he needed to cover the printing and publishing costs that he was unable to raise independently. The book, which you can see in the video below, also comes with a two-hour instructional DVD. Congrats, Dwayne—we look forward to seeing the final product!

"I used to be able to harvest 100 bundles of millet from my field. This year, I have only had three." Like the majority of Nigerian farmers, Son Allah, is a victim of the poor rains.
"We have suffered floods followed by droughts. In the middle of the season, when the heavy rain came it ran straight off the dry earth on the plateau, flooding the village and destroying several mud huts. Even the concrete mosque was nearly destroyed."
Usually, Son Allah is able to feed his large family from his millet harvest and the extra money he earns from selling his meat kebabs but this year with no harvest he is forced to try and survive on the money he earns form selling kebabs alone – and it's no way near enough. There is no food. The reserves are empty and more than 6 million people in Niger are now facing a severe food crisis.
The work initiated by Oxfam to reclaim 200 hectares of land degraded by the flash floods offers the community a two-fold solution: It provides 83 vulnerable households with an income plus it protects the environment
The people involved in the 'cash for work' scheme" are making half moon shaped irrigation channels, so that when the next rainy season arrives, the rain water will be trapped and forced to permeate the soil rather than run off the surface. In doing so it will help replenish the water table and facilitate the regeneration of vegetation and agricultural land.
Son Allah is an expert in this kind of work. He has been doing it for the last 15 years in the surrounding villages and has seen the benefits first hand. Son Allah is currently working on the Oxfam project in his own village. "I can make three per day".
At the end of work in April, Son Allah hopes to see the results of all this hard work. He will have an income to help see him through the hungry months – which is just beginning. "With help, we can plant trees and sow grass before the rainy season comes. Hopefully, if we have a good rainy season, we will have pasture for our cattle and in a few years, the plateau may even be reforested."

People were invited to sign the petition, and Scunthorpe MP Nic Dakin also took part in the march.
Miss Maclean said: "There were beeping horns in the street.
"Our local police were amazing – it would not have gone as well without Sergeant James Main and his team."
The next stage will be a march on 10 Downing Street, at 1pm on Wednesday, July 30, where a petition with 100,000 signatures will be hand-delivered.
Miss Maclean said: "We are doing really, really well.
"I want David Cameron to recognise this.
"We are not going away.
"It will be debated in Parliament."

We here in Britain spent over £1bn on digital downloads last year - the highest annual total for non-physical media
Figures due to be released by the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA) show that digital downloads hit over £1bn in 2012, up 11.5 per cent from 2011.
The highest sales were for video games in which 7.7 per cent (£552m) of sales were of the digital persuasion.
Unfortunately, the figures don't look quite so rosy for old school physical media - those sales dropped 17.6 per cent in 2011 - although "proper" CDs, Blu-rays and game discs continue to make up the majority of retail sales.
Kim Bayley, director general at the ERA said it was an incredible achievement for retailers to break the £1bn barrier.
"This reflects their huge investment in new and innovative services - which means you can buy music, video and games literally at any time of the day and wherever you are," she said.
"Downloads offer convenience and portability, but people still seem to value the quality and tangibility of a physical product."
If you're wanting to get into the digital downloading mood for 2013, we can think of no better place to start than T3's own award-winning iPad app. You're welcome, internet.

- Effects of BPA in snails : Oehlmann et al. respond (2006)
- Correspondence : Effects of BPA in snails: Oehlmann et al. respond We welcome critical appraisals that help to provide balance; however, Dietrich et al. gave an unjustified reproach. We feel that Dietrich's position is severely compromised because he serves as an expert for the bisphenol A (BPA) Industry Group (Brussels, Belgium). We would like to respond to the issues raised by Dietrich et al., as well as to their oversights and inappropriate interpretations of our findings....
- Bisphenol A induces superfeminization in the Ramshorn snail Marisa cornuarietis (Gastropoda: Prosobranchia) at environmentally relevant concentrations (2005)
- Previous investigations have shown that bisphenol A (BPA) induces a superfeminization syndrome in the freshwater snail Marisa cornuarietis at concentrations as low as 1 μg/L. Superfemales are characterized by the formation of additional female organs, enlarged accessory sex glands, gross malformations of the pallial oviduct, and a stimulation of egg and clutch production, resulting in increased female mortality. However, these studies were challenged on the basis of incomplete experimentation. Therefore, the objective of the current approach was to bridge several gaps in knowledge by conducting additional experiments. In an initial series of experiments, study results from the reproductive phase of the snails were evaluated in the sub-micrograms per liter range. Before and after the spawning season, superfemale responses were observed [NOEC (no observed effect concentration) 7.9 ng/L, EC10 (effective concentration at 10%) 13.9 ng/L], which were absent during the spawning season. A further experiment investigated the temperature dependence of BPA responses by exposing snails at two temperatures in parallel. The adverse effect of BPA was at least partially masked at 27°C (EC10 998 ng/L) when compared with 20°C (EC10 14.8 ng/L). In M. cornuarietis, BPA acts as an estrogen receptor (ER) agonist, because effects were completely antagonized by a co-exposure to tamoxifen and Faslodex. Antiandrogenic effects of BPA, such as a significant decrease in penis length at 20°C, were also observed. Competitive receptor displacement experiments indicate the presence of androgen- and estrogen-specific binding sites. The affinity for BPA of the estrogen binding sites in M. cornuarietis is higher than that of the ER in aquatic vertebrates. The results emphasize that prosobranchs are affected by BPA at lower concentrations than are other wildlife groups, and the findings also highlight the importance of exposure conditions.
- Comparative toxicity assessment of nanosilver on three Daphnia species in acute, chronic and multi-generation experiments (2013)
- The antibacterial properties of nanosilver have led to a versatile application spectrum including medical purposes and personal care products. However, the increasing use of nanosilver has raised concerns about its environmental impacts. Long-term exposure studies with aquatic invertebrates are essential to assess possible adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems. In the present study, acute (48 h), chronic (21 d) and long-term effects of nanosilver (primary size 15 nm) on five successive generations of three Daphnia species (D. magna, D. pulex, and D. galeata) were investigated. Acute EC50 values of nanosilver were 121 µg Ag L−1 for D. magna being the least sensitive species and 8.95 and 13.9 µg Ag L−1 for D. pulex and D. galeata, respectively. Chronic exposure provided EC10 values of 0.92 µg Ag L−1 for D. magna showing the most sensitive chronic reaction and 2.25 and 3.45 µg Ag L−1 for D. pulex and D. galeata, respectively. Comparative exposure to AgNO3 revealed a generally higher toxicity of the soluble form of silver. The multi-generation experiments resulted in effects on the population level for all tested species. Exposure of D. magna indicated an increased toxicity of nanosilver in the fifth generation of animals exposed to 10 µg Ag L−1. Neonates from pre-exposed parental daphnids did not completely recover when transferred into clean water. Exposure of D. pulex and D. galeata revealed not only increasing toxicity in some generations, but also greater tolerance to nanosilver. This study contributes to the assessment of the risk potential of nanosilver on aquatic ecosystems. It shows that effects of nanosilver vary within one genus and change with exposure duration. Therefore, long-term studies considering different aquatic species are needed to better understand the possible effects of nanosilver on aquatic ecosystems.

How often does someone ask to go to prison? It's rare, but it happened Monday in Anoka County.
Aaron Schnagl told a judge, that's what he wanted for violating probation in a 2005 drug case.
Under the conditions of his parole, Schnagl was required to remain law abiding and not to use mood-altering chemicals.
A judge sentenced him to just under five years in prison, plus three years probation.
Schnagl faces another court hearing Tuesday on a different drug charge in Chisago County.
That's after police say they found marijuana and cocaine in his Chisago Lakes home while they were investigating a missing person report. Danielle Jelinek's family told police she disappeared Dec. 8. Schnagl, a friend, was the last person to see her.
Jelinek's family was in the Anoka courtroom Monday, to see and hear for themselves that Schnagl would be held responsible for something. Schnagl hasn't been arrested, charged or convicted for Jelinek's disappearance.

Mall should paint curbs for safety
I drive a bus for the Tri-State Transit Authority. My route is Huntington to Milton.
The last few months I have seen three women fall at the Huntington Mall as they were leaving the store because of an unmarked curb. Busting their nose, shins, with blood all on their clothes.
The only store that has a yellow painted curb for step-down is Sears.
Please, mall officials, have all of your curbs painted BRIGHT YELLOW, so that no other people fall and injure themselves.
Safety is no accident.

Country needs to turn back to God
In regard to a recent column by Milt Hankins, entitled "Governed have lost clout with government," he mentioned that we (America) have come a long way from the beliefs and/or intentions of John Locke or Thomas Jefferson.
Far more important, we as a nation, have come farther away from God and His teachings, which is why we are in such a spiritual, moral and economic mess. A majority of people are doing what is right in their own eyes, and wanting government to make it legal. What they don't realize, based on world history, they're asking for God's judgment, whether they believe God's Word or not. God is coming and His judgment, sooner than we think! Are you ready?
Food for thought: When people don't know what they believe or stand for, they will fall for anything.

787-9 pieces arriving at Everett plant
Assembly of bigger Dreamliner begins this summer
Boeing workers will begin assembly of the first 787-9 later this summer. The first two sections -- the horizontal stabilizer and the vertical fin -- arrived in the 787 production area last week.
The sections arrived three weeks ahead of schedule, Randy Tinseth, Boeing vice president of marketing, wrote on his blog.
"This is the kind of performance we're seeing across the entire 787-9 supply chain," Tinseth wrote.
Boeing's 787-9 will be 20 feet longer than the current model, the 787-8, and will seat 40 more passengers. The new model also has a slightly longer range than the 787-8, by about 300 nautical miles. Boeing plans to begin flight testing the first 787-9 in the second half of 2013.
The company will fit assembly of the first 787-9 in with increased production on the 787-8. Boeing announced last Thursday that it had rolled out the first 787-8 assembled at a pace of seven jets monthly, up from five. The company plans to speed assembly between the Everett and North Charleston, S.C., factories to 10 787s monthly by the end of 2013.
Boeing originally planned to deliver the first 787-9 in 2010. But as delays piled up for the 787-8, Boeing pushed back delivery of 787-9 until early 2014. Air New Zealand will be the first customer to receive a 787-9.
"It's hugely exciting to see the first ever 787-9 taking shape because of the significant growth opportunities these aircraft present for our business," Christopher Luxon, CEO of Air New Zealand, said in a statement.
Air New Zealand is scheduled to receive 10 Dreamliners between 2014 and 2017. The 787-9s will enable the carrier to add capacity and "explore new destination opportunities throughout the Pacific Rim," Luxon said.
Boeing has received 355 orders so far for the 787-9 and more than 850 for the 787 program.

Less talk and more planning
The issues are real and they aren't going away.
Rutherford County Manager Carl Classen has decided to refocus his budget recommendations for Rutherford County Schools and Isothermal Community College to that of capital needs.
On Friday, Classen announced he was changing his recommendations to remove any plans for maintenance examination at Isothermal.
That is a step in the right direction.
We did not agree with Classen's initial recommendations proposed last week that included studying bringing Isothermal's maintenance under the county's umbrella.
That takes the focus off the bigger needs at the college.
A study indicating nearly $10 million of capital needs just to keep the college's operations going should be the primary focus of this year — and the future — is county budget allocations.
The responsibility falls to the Rutherford County Commission to not only know what needs are immediate for facilities they are responsible for but to ensure taxpayer money is being spent where it is supposed to be spent.
The college Board of Trustees have presented commissioners with facility needs studies regularly as recently as 2008 when nearly $9 million of capital outlay was discovered.
Yet, nothing was done about it and the needs only became a focal point of discussion with commissioners six years later.
Even if there was no money in the county coffers to fund a complete overhaul of campus buildings — and we know there isn't any — the time to discuss plans for fixing the problem should have happened in 2008 or when the commission makeup changed in 2010.
Commissioners are responsible for being stewards of the taxpayer's money but they are also responsible to know the maintenance and capital needs of the college and schools. The rules of leadership would suggest that would go a step further and discuss and plan ways to address those needs.
It is easy to side-step the situation and fall back on the assertion that there is just no money available but real leadership doesn't put the problems on the back burner in the hopes of better economic times.
The schools and college are used as economic drivers for Rutherford County but that usage dwindles with aging facilities.
If commissioners really believe a plan needs to be put in place to address capital needs of the schools and Isothermal, then do it.
These needs are just going to get more expensive the longer they are left.
We can't afford to let that happen.

The UFC is developing fighter uniforms
At December's UFC on FOX 9 event, lightweights Cody McKenzie and Sam Stout faced off inside the octagon. "Hands of stone" ended up winning a lopsided decision over the former "TUF 12″ competitor (McKenzie) that evening. However, it was Cody that would catch most of the media attention after the event, and for all the wrong reasons.
Cody went "old school" in terms of his attire for the UFC on FOX 9 bout with Stout, sporting a pair of plain white shorts that in fact still had the price tags attached. McKenzie's choice of shorts did not sit well with UFC president Dana White, who told media:
"That's one of the weirdest things I've ever seen, and it's even weirder that we let it happen. It won't happen again."
Also in December, the Zuffa fight boss promised that he was working on a way to fix sponsorships.
Yesterday, White told Bleacher Report that the uniform was one thing he was working on to deliver on that promise, but that nothing has been finalized just yet.
"We are. We're working on it," White said. "But nothing yet."
According sources close to Bleacher Report, the deal is with a major apparel company and the uniform will be head to toe—including fight shorts, walkout shirt & hats, and every fighter in the UFC will wear it.
Sources also indicated that several spaces on the shorts and shirt will be reserved for fighters and managers to sell their own sponsorships. But outside of those spots, the uniforms will consist mostly of UFC-branded product and the brand of the apparel company.
The uniform deal would seemingly benefit lower-tier preliminary fighters who have trouble selling sponsorships on their own.
What do you think of the proposed uniform switch? Let's hear it Penn Nation!
0 Responses to "The UFC is developing fighter uniforms"
unenforceable. You only have so much real estate to work with on a speedo type of trunks how can you claim any space for UFC brand if they have sponsors on top of the priority list. Each fighter doesn't owe the UFC to wear any of their brand. The only thing they owe is the fights itself under the contract.
I think you're probably right to an extent… any fighter already under contract is PROBABLY grandfathered in… and could likely not be compelled to wear a uniform. But clearly they can work in a clause to all new contracts that if you want to fight in the UfC monopoly…. you wear UFC shorts. But… we don't know about those already existing contracts…. they may have wording in tyere already that grants the UFC authority to dictate what is considered appropriate attire… so they could leverage that and not allow a fighter to wear his own shirts. I think the whole thing is a stupid idea from an organization that has grown too big for it's britches (pun intended) and is acting more and more parranoid. They are acting in ways that look very amateur and stinks of bad management. Dana is in a league he is either too uneducated or too ignirant to play in…. so he's making horrible decisions because I think he realizes his own managerial inadequacy..
So lame. Makes management look like a bunch of control freaks. There should be some standards but a uniform is retarded.
wholly s(h)it that's lame…
I definitely understand the idea behind it because if people tune in who don't normally watch the UFC, it does make it look like an amateur sport if people are wearing stuff like Cody was wearing. It's all about trying to bring the sport more and more mainstream. It's no different than any other company making their employees wear a uniform so they look professional. For example I work on cars at a Mercedes Benz dealership and if I was wearing a plain white t-shirt as I got in a customers car to work on it, they would have a bad image of the dealership. It would look more amateur. By me having a Mercedes Benz uniform on it looks way more professional.
As long as fighters can still sell sponsored areas to keep making extra money like they have been used to then I don't see a problem with it
Part of this business is selling people, it's gonna be a lot harder to do that if every fighter is in a cookie cutter uniform.
Standards yes. This isnt the MLB or NFL. Tennis and Golf, standards not required peices. UFC branded, I think we know its the UFC
bla bla bla it makes us look bad and that makes me sooo sad – Dana White.
This is horse shit.
