42 U.S. Code § 3121 - Findings and declarations
prev | next
(a) Findings
Congress finds that—
(1) there continue to be areas of the United States experiencing chronic high unemployment, underemployment, outmigration, and low per capita incomes, as well as areas facing sudden and severe economic dislocations because of structural economic changes, changing trade patterns, certain Federal actions (including environmental requirements that result in the removal of economic activities from a locality), and natural disasters;
(2) economic growth in the States, cities, and rural areas of the United States is produced by expanding economic opportunities, expanding free enterprise through trade, developing and strengthening public infrastructure, and creating a climate for job creation and business development;
(3) the goal of Federal economic development programs is to raise the standard of living for all citizens and increase the wealth and overall rate of growth of the economy by encouraging communities to develop a more competitive and diversified economic base by—
(A) creating an environment that promotes economic activity by improving and expanding public infrastructure;
(4) while economic development is an inherently local process, the Federal Government should work in partnership with public and private State, regional, tribal, and local organizations to maximize the impact of existing resources and enable regions, communities, and citizens to participate more fully in the American dream and national prosperity;
(5) in order to avoid duplication of effort and achieve meaningful, long-lasting results, Federal, State, tribal, and local economic development activities should have a clear focus, improved coordination, a comprehensive approach, and simplified and consistent requirements; and
(b) Declarations
In order to promote a strong and growing economy throughout the United States, Congress declares that—
(1) assistance under this chapter should be made available to both rural- and urban-distressed communities;
(2) local communities should work in partnership with neighboring communities, the States, Indian tribes, and the Federal Government to increase the capacity of the local communities to develop and implement comprehensive economic development strategies to alleviate economic distress and enhance competitiveness in the global economy;
(3) whether suffering from long-term distress or a sudden dislocation, distressed communities should be encouraged to support entrepreneurship to take advantage of the development opportunities afforded by technological innovation and expanding newly opened global markets; and

A committee has been formed to launch a search for a new executive director of the Frederic Remington Art Museum in Ogdensburg.
Six members of the museums board of trustees, one member of its International Advisory Board and museum curator Laura A. Foster will direct the recruitment.
Edward A. LaVarnway, executive director since 2005, announced his retirement last week. He wants to leave by June, but has agreed to stay as long as it takes to find a replacement and help familiarize him or her with the job.
Trustee and search committee chairwoman Julie H. Cliff said Thursday that a new executive director could well be hired by June.
I think our goal is to honor his (Mr. LaVarnways) original request, she said.
Mrs. Cliff said the committees first meeting will held next week. Strategy, including job description, where to advertise and a time line for application receipt, reviews and interviews will be established. In addition to Mrs. Cliff and Ms. Foster, the other search committee members are board President William J. Cavanaugh, board Vice President Kathleen R. Wade, board secretary Dianne Drayse Alonzo, International Advisory Board member and noted museum supporter Alan P. Newell and trustees Catherine B. Newell and Scott M. Wright.

The Three Musketeers (De tre musketerer)
Alexandre Dumas's classic adventure story gets a fresh visual adaptation -- this time using stop-motion puppet animation -- in this interpretation from Latvian animators Janis Cimermanis and Dane Gert Fredholm. During the reign of Louis XIII, young but gifted swordsman named D'Artagnan leaves the small town of his birth to come to Paris and offer his services to the King's Musketeers. D'Artagnan initially finds himself at odds with three of his new colleagues, Porthos, Aramis and Athos, but a series of duels between them brings the four men together, and they become close friends and comrades. After a cache of valuable jewels goes missing, the Musketeers set out to find them, which leads them into unexpected intrigue with the Queen of France, a meeting with a beautiful maiden, and a startling discovery about the mysterious Cardinal Richelieu. De Tre Muskaterer (aka The Three Musketeers) was the first directorial assignment for veteran animators Cimermanis and Fredholm.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Sharing Memories (Week 29): TV Shows
What were your favourite television shows as a child? Did you watch after school? Before you went to school? At night after supper? Maybe you watched Saturday cartoons?
We didn't have a tv until I was 9 or maybe 10 years old. It was black and white and there were very few channels to choose from.
We kids weren't allowed to watch much but I remember my dad watching Liberace and Red Skeleton. He also liked the Ed Sullivan show. The only shows I remember seeing were westerns, but I can't remember what they were called except for Rawhide.
I never saw cartoons, and I don't know if there weren't any on or I just wasn't allowed to watch them. I grew up watching very little televsion and I think that's why I've never watched much, preferring to read a good book.
What about you?

Oh wow - I too watch little TV as didn't get to do so as a kid but I remember wanting to be a cowgirl and I watched Roy Rogers and Dale Evans (Trigger and Buttermilk were their horses), the Lone Ranger and Tonto, Sky King, Zorro, Davy Crockett and the Alamo, and others. I remember Liberace, Ed Sullivan (and Topo Gigio) and Lawrence Welk. I remember when the evening programming ended and the TV went off with the numbers counting down to zero and the screen going black. I remember black and white only and when 'color TV'came in...we didn't have one for many many years. I remember Elvis on Ed Sullivan and singing Elvis while we dried the dishes (mom was the dishwasher in those days! For my entire 64 years I rarely owned a TV and would much rather read than watch TV....Thank you! What a great blast from the past.

Boy, you've just sent my brain back about 50 years! Rosemary reminded me about Sky King which made me remember Sea Hunt - loved those shows. We also watched Carol Burnett Show, Bonanza, and Red Skelton. When color TVs first came out we all gathered at the neighbor's house (the only house with color) to watch the Wonderful World of Disney and the NBC peacock in color.
My real claim to fame was watching every single episode of the Farmer's Daughter. Every one. And this was long before VCR's, DVR's, or TIVO had even been thought about :-)

Good memories you mentioned. I seldom talk about my age, but these posts make me feel old. The first time I saw a television in a house it was lent to my sister. I was 22 years old (and about to be married in June, but didn't know that yet). 2 or 3 years later my husband and I got a television — 1 station and you watched whatever was on.
What I remember is Tom Mix, Henry Aldrich, One Man's Family, and other radio shows. Commercial radio was very new when I was born (I believe about 2 years older than I). So you see, I have watched both forms of broadcast entertainment grow and change.

Latest gee-whiz cruise attraction: Open-air "sky ride"
By USA Today: Gene Sloan on January 23, 2015
NEW YORK -- Get ready to ride in the sky on a cruise ship.
Industry giant Carnival's next vessel, the Carnival Vista, will feature an 800-foot-long track suspended around its top deck that passengers can circle in peddle-powered capsules, the line revealed Thursday at a New York event.
Dubbed the SkyRide, it's being billed as the cruise industry's first pedal-powered, open-air aerial attraction and is just one of several first-for-the-industry features planned for the ship.
Carnival Vista also will have the first IMAX Theater at sea and a record size, 455-foot-long water tube attraction, Carnival announced.

Learn About the Operating Permit Program
Operating Permits:
- Legally-enforceable documents designed to improve compliance by clarifying what facilities (sources) must do to control air pollution.
- Required by Title V of the Clean Air Act.
- Issued to all large sources ("major" sources) and a limited number of smaller sources (called "area" sources, "minor" sources, or "non-major" sources).
- Most are issued by State or local agencies ("part 70" permits); a small number are issued by EPA ("part 71" permits).
- Permits include pollution-control requirements from federal or state regulations that apply to a source.
- Other air permits may be required (e.g., "Pre-construction" permits, "PSD" permits, or "NSR" permits), but this web site does not address such permits.

Mixes well with milk tastes good. Cheap way to boost your protein
Was this helpful?
I use the unflavoured type because I can add it to my banana smoothie. Can have it with just water, tastes ok just don't think about it too much. Overall it's very good, very pleased with the purchase.Goes Well With:Milk, water, a banana and oat smoothie,
Was this helpful?
The shake tastes really nice and isn't too rich like you find with other vanilla flavoured shakes. Mixes well except for the froth that builds up after shaking. On the whole though, really pleased with the purchase, especially for the price!
I don't normally bother with writing reviews but I was so disappointed with this product I felt I had too... Normally I buy the impact whey & this is a great product from MyProtein but this 'Essential Whey' seems miles apart in its quality, its texture as you scoop it is even completely different it reminds me of scooping sherbet! It really doesn't mix well at all as soon as liquid touches it it binds to everything clumps & sticks & to make matters worse the more you shake it the more 'foam' it produces & makes it very difficult to drink even after leaving it to settle.. I decided to try this whey to try & save a little money but in reality it's going to cost more as its so diabolical I don't know if I can put up with using the bag! Very disappointed as every other product I've used has been excellent the only good thing I can say about it is the flavour (strawberry) is perfectly ok. My advice is go for the Impact Whey & steer clear of this! Goes Well With:The bin....
Excellent product mixes very well with water and milk. The smooth chocolate flavour is excellent I highly recommend it.Goes Well With:creostorm creatine.
So I got the strawberries and cream flavoured and it's the first protein powder I can take without gagging!! In fact it's so nice it's hard not to keep drinking it all day!!!Goes Well With:Greek yoghurt! I also use it in a smoothie with almond milk, kale, spinach and blueberries!
Out of date by 3 months. Emailed my protein last week and no reply!
I recently bought the strawberry cream flavour, 2.5kg, and it is absolutely delicious. Mixes brilliantly with water or milk, no lumps, tastes great with water and amazing with milk; better than the McDonalds one! Protein/carb ratio is great for massing up whilst maximising your protein intake. Vanilla flavour is great as well.Goes Well With:Milk/water
After looking around for a good quality whey for a decent price I came across this. It is much cheaper than any other and just as goodGoes Well With:Nesquick
This is seriously the worst protein powder I have ever had the misfortune of using. It was slightly cheaper than the impact whey protein so I thought I'd give it a go, what a mistake! The mixability is dreadful, no way near as good as the impact, it just clumps together in gross lumps and I have to pour it through a sieve or it's undrinkable.Goes Well With:A sieve.
Nice taste and mixes very well. No thrills product and outstanding value for money. By far the cheapest I have found so far that doesn't compromise with quality.
Fantastic products still waiting to see results. Only had them for 2 weeks now. However the whey is bland but if you mix it with a flavoured creatine monohydrate, its fantastic.Goes Well With:Creatine monohydrateann
Blends easily have used this one for a while, would reccomend it as a first starting whey for anybody and one for them to keep with too you can add flavour if you really want but its fine anyway:) alexGoes Well With:Water, milk, oats!
I've been using this for a while now anyway but have now started a new chest program after upping my intake by adding an extra shake made with this and almond milk i've put on 1/2 inch in the last 3 weeks. mixes well tastes fine but i do use a separate mixer so not sure how it would work in a shaker as i don't use themGoes Well With:spinach, blueberries nuts
Tastes great, mixes well and was great value for money :) Would recommend to anyoneGoes Well With:I usually stick a spoonful of creatine in it :)
Tastes great, mixes well and was great value for money :) Would recommend to anyone
Tastes nice. PrimarilyTastes nice. Primarily because it's 30% sugar. Bought this assuming it was a good source of carbs in the afternoon (I don't want to go catabolic). Hadn't realised that 100% of these carbs were in the form of pure sugar. Have since switched to Oats and Whey to avoid diabetes. Goes Well With:Insulin.
This purchase will last me a long time because of it's quantity. I haven't noticed much changes and progression since using this product however it's early doors so my opinion could change. Overall very pleased with this product, cheap very large.Goes Well With:Milk
Good Product if starting out good taste
I'm a newbie to protein supplements and this product was the first of its kind I'd ever purchased. I had no real idea what to expect but imagined that as it was unflavoured, I wasn't exactly going to enjoy it. I was wrong! Mixed with water it's very palatable. For a creamier taste, try some semi-skimmed or whole milk ( calories permitting). Either way, I can only really describe it as drinking liquid vanilla ice cream. Add a couple of spoonfuls of milkshake flavouring and you can tailor it to your own preferences. Add to the fact that it does what its meant to do and delivers a large part of my daily protein needs at a very reasonable comparable price and this one for me is a real winner!
You have to try it! Super delicious way to add more protein to your diet! Very tasty, mixes well and is suitable for baking. Waiting for some more flavours.
This whey is one of the best ones that I've tried. It's tasty, mixes well and it's a great way to add more protein to your diet! Waiting for a bigger flavour range.
very good pruduct, great to up protein in daily diet
Tastes awesome, mixes well, everything you want and for a fantastic price. Such a shame a larger range of flavours aren't available - Currently working my way through (fairly quickly) 4 kilos of the stuff. Tastes good with water/milk/almondmilk/oats... everything you can imagine actually...
I'm new to all this protein shake stuff so didn't really know what to expect. Delivery was very quick, came next day even though I didnt pay for that service (ordered early). I accidentally ordered the Strawberry Cream which I tried initally with milk but it was too sweet. I found it best mixed with water and I was surprised how nice it was, just as good as a milkshake you could buy in the shops, very nice.Goes Well With:water
Overall good product, not as tasty as some I've had in the past but the excellent price more than makes up for it. Quick delivery and great service.
Excellent. Product got it cheap in the 10yr sale mixes well tastes great. Lower protein content but because of the price you can put 2/3 scoops in
Great value for money and taste, the flavor is very strong and it mixes well in my Shaker cup. Reccomend it to anyone who needs the extra boost of protein before after or during a workout. Whilst your reading this you should checkout my instagram fitness page- @doubleD_fitness Goes Well With:Almond milk and Oats
The taste is excellent and so is the quality! Well worth the money
I bought one pack to try and it is a good product even though it doesn't mix as well as Impact Whey. Due to slight worse mixability and taste than Impact Whey, I won't be buying this again.Goes Well With:creating, water or milk
Although the unflavoured version and mixability of it is not really that good, I do feel that changing from the no carbs version of the protein I used to consume is truly making a difference. I use it daily with my breakfast, be it with skim milk or low fat yoghurt, pre and post workout with water or skim milk. I would strongly advise you to go for the flavoured version though, since the smell and taste of the mixture + that it doesnt get completely dissolved, may turn your stomach upside down, unless of course you get used to it, like I did. If by any chance you still wanna go for the unflavoured version, try mixing it with something that has a sweet taste, like juice. It's a great and crucial supplement for anyone hitting the gym, from amateurs to professionals.Goes Well With:Milk, Water, Juice, Yoghurt.
Superb quality, taste & ease of mixing - need I say more?
Been using whey protein for about a year and jus started using this to put on the extra carbs, got unflavoured cos it's so much cheaper and you can mix this with much more like fruit juice rather than just water or milk. 10/10 Goes Well With:Water, milk, apple juice, fruit squash
Great value for money, and a great starter protein. I always have one shake for breakfast, and one after a workout.
I'm very happy with this product, I have had no problems with mixing it as I use a blender. Tastes good (smooth Chocolate flavour) will definitely be buying it again soon.
For cheap protein you can't fault it. Mixing seems to vary dependent on the amount of water/milk etc. used in the shaker and what else you throw in. Sometimes mixes great, other times a little clumpy, but put a bit more liquid in and get it down you.Goes Well With:Water/milk/almond milk.
Got this as it is very affordable and contains a decent amount of carbs as well as protein, good for getting a bit of extra energy before a workout.Goes Well With:milk, water, smoothie
Excellent, does excactly what it says on the tin!
I purchased the Strawberry flavor, previously had chocolate flavor. Taste: Average, tasted like strawberries but still a bit of chemically flavor which is bound to happen. Tastes good with milk however it becomes very thick like milkshake. Mixability: Pretty poor to be honest, even after a good few minutes shaking there were still clumps. Effectiveness: Noticed a size increase and it worked well, however I have a good diet. Overall: Good for starting out and on a budget however next time I'm going for at least 80% partly for the larger range of flavours but also the higher protein content and lower carbs.Goes Well With:Water or Milk
It's fine, it tastes great with milk and honey if I whizz it up in my blender, it has a nice taste even though this whey is unflavouredGoes Well With:whole, organic milk, and honey
Does the job and so far has been good as a pre and post workout. As a female it's good to see some muscle growth. I can't complain. Unflavoured isn't for everyone but you get used to it. Now I rather enjoy the taste.Goes Well With:Milk, water.
Mixes well with water and milk. Tastes a lot better than the strawberry flavour, especially if mixed with water. Mixes well but like others have said, some froth for a few minutes so as long as you prepare in advance no problems.Goes Well With:Water or milk
Came well packed. Mixes well using the shaker cup i bought along with it from My Protein. The taste isn't the best ive had, but it is very good nonetheless. Can be frothy sometimes, but this is a minor issue. Great product overall. As for effectiveness, it is too early to tell as yetGoes Well With:Milk
Excellent mix with water. Tastes great. Superb value. Works great too. 5 stars. Excellent. No more needs to be said. Goes Well With:Finest oats and water
Great product. Plain and simple, good for rebuilding muscles after a workout with decent quality protein and a nice side of carbs for energy. It mixes better than most powders I've had before, the taste is fine (strawberry), and I've noticed positive gains more with this protein than anything else I've tried. Big thumbs up, I'll be getting more of it very soon.
People complaining about the taste really need to try Hydrolyzed whey or even BCAA's or EAA's. Those are the most disgusting tasting things you could imagine. The taste is rather bland, kind of a milky taste tbh, I just mix it with water and drink it quite easily. The people complaining about the foam, simply add more water, you will have a lot less foam. next to none if the ratio is correct. A balanced ratio of carbs and protein which is a lot healthier than dextrose or simple carbs. The body needs a balance and this is a great 'snack' and after gym mix Goes Well With:water - lots of water to avoid foaming
Perfect protein for a beginner or training on a budget, mixes okay and the vanilla flavour is good. My protein proves once again the best value supplements on the market to suit all budgets.Goes Well With:Milk, creatine, bcaa
Does exactly what it says on the tin. Cheap, 60% protein. Ideal for a quick boost if you are struggling for food etc. Goes Well With:Milk / Water Glutamine, Creatine, BCAA
Best protein I have found I put it in a blender with oats,bananas,cocoa powder and ice then blitz it's the perfect shake for doing weights or when I go running! NiceGoes Well With:Milk,oats,bananas
This product does everything it says on the tin (or pouch). Very good value for money when you consider that other WPC products on the market produced by designer label sports nutrition companies are only a little above 70% protein yet three times the price. The only criticism would be the mixability which is poor. It will fully mix in a shaker cup after vigorous shaking but you're then with a foam that sits on top for about 10 minutes. If you try to just mix by whisking with a fork it just goes lumpy. Bottom line: great tasting, great value whey protein just be patient on the mixing front.Goes Well With:A shaker cup (and patience)

DjWorks As AdvertisedFed up with epilating, waxing and creams, I was ready to try something different and found the Remington IPL. I have fair skin and black hair so I fit their profile. I live in Canada and was very pleased with the shopping service from Folica!! they took care of the customs and everything, it arrived to my front door at a reasonable time. I also ordered 4 extra cartilages since shipping isnt the cheapest and better have extra!
It works as advertised, read the booklet fully!!! You wont see any results after the first treatment, the second you will start to see something and by the third you should have 47% less hair. Which is exactly what happened to me. now they say after the third treatment you do spot treatment, but the hairs are so scattered I did an extra fourth treatment all over my lower legs. I think I will need more treatments, but I can go longer with smooth legs!!!
I decided to do only armpit and lower legs first, its very quick to finish the treatment. Its not painful on the well shaved areas, you might feel a sting and or warming sensation. You also get best results with the highest setting. The first treatment I smelled burned hair, but nothing worrisome!!!
It didnt work as great on armpits, only saw results after fourth treatment with about 50% less hair but still great, smoother pits after shaving. Next will I will do bikini line!!!
What I recommend is keep doing treatments till you are satisfied. This is not a big deal as with professional treatments its the same, you go till you are done and its never less than three treatments!. I know some who did professional treatments and its exactly the same as the Remington, except professional is more powerful.
Highly recommend it, just buy extra cartilages and keep at it. I love the convenience of doing this at home and at a reasonable price!!!

StephanieVisalia, CAIt Works!!!!Or at least it does for me. I am fairly light skinned and have pretty dark hair. Three treatments did not do it for me (this is most likely due to my own error), but it looks like four treatments are all I will need. It appears that the last of my tiny hairs are falling out.
I hate shaving as it leaves my legs irritated. Also they tend to look like corn chips just a few hours after shaving. I started epilating in 2009, but let certain areas go during my pregnancy. If you have ever epilated these parts, you will know that epilating can get pretty brutal. I was not interested in starting that over. I came across the Remington iLight on Amazon and it had a pretty warm reception with the exception of the lamp that comes with the unit. Those have a tendency to be defective, but representatives are monitoring reviews and are almost immediately offering to make things right. I got just over two uses out of my stock lamp, which was a bit disappointing considering I only do my bikini line, underarms, and lower legs (I am 5'2" so it isn't like I have long legs, nor are they particularly large in girth).
Now, with the negatives out of the way, let me tell you about the positive.....Virtually painless if you shave well first. I realize that this makes it difficult to know exactly where you have been. I just go from bottom to top, then move to the left, then go top to bottom, etc. Some people mark grid lines in white eyeliner so they know where they have been......DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT DO THIS WITH A DARK EYELINER.....I have seen one report where a girl used a dark eyeliner and now has those grid lines burned into her skin. Hahaha. Okay, maybe it isn't that funny.
In the absence of pain (a little bit of a rubber band snap where it is difficult to get a super close shave, but certainly nothing I would consider pain...discomfort maybe) I was initially skeptical after my first treatment. I continued shaving, but a few days before my second treatment, I let things grow out a bit. What did I find? Bald spots!!! I would say about 30% of the area was bald. Shaved, did my second treatment....let it go for a few days before the third treatment, about 60% bald. Did the third treatment, easily about 80-85% bald, but still had some hair on a few areas. Did one more treatment, and I see where almost all the hairs have almost worked their way out. I would now put me at about 95% bald. Do not be put off when you don't see results immediately, as I doubt many see immediate results. The hairs have to work their way out of the follicles. In this time, it will appear that the hair is growing.
I did buy this using a coupon code. At $250 and $25 for replacement cartridges, I think this is a pretty good buy if you hate shaving all the darned time. I know it only takes a few minutes, but add those minutes up at the end of the week, and I can easily think of a million things I would rather do with my time than shave.

MelissaUnited StatesHairMedium BrownNormal HairLet's Me Sleep In A Few More Minutes!Ever since I've gotten this product, i've been religious about using it every Sunday AM after shaving - on my legs, underarms & even my bikini line! Since it's still mostly winter, I haven't had to shave AT ALL during the week, which means I get to sleep in a few more minutes - I LOVE IT. I hope that by the time the warm weather rolls around, I won't need to worry about it even if i wear a tank top or shorts! By the time each Sun rolls around, I'd say have a few stray hairs, but NOTHING comapred to shaving alone. I'm never going back to my razor!!!51 out of 55 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

The Watauga High basketball teams had their games against Fred T. Foard postponed on Friday night because of inclement weather.No make up date has been announced as of yet by the WHS Athletic Department. The WHS men and women travel, weather permitting, to Taylorsville to play Alexander Central Tuesday night. The Alexander Central women (6-7 overall; 2-1 Northwestern 3A/4A Conference) are off to their best start since the 1988-89 season. Tuesday night's game against WHS will be the Cougars for 4A division game. The WHS women are 0-1 in divisional play. Ashe County snapped Watauga's three-game winning streak Thursday night.
It was also Ashe County's 13th consecutive win against the Pioneers. WHS hasn't beaten Ashe County since the 2004-05 season at the old Lentz-Eggers Gym. WHS hasn't won in West Jefferson since 2003-04.
The WHS men, who have won two in a row, are currently undefeated in league play. And a win Tuesday night would give WHS (8-4; 2-0 NW3A/4A) a 2-0 record in 4A divisional play. The Pioneers swept the season series against the Cougars last season.
Our coverage, weather permitting, begins at 6 pm Tuesday night from Taylorsville on Oldies 100,7 FM.
