European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani, responsible for Industry and Entrepreneurship said: "Europe's economy cannot survive in a sustainable way if it cannot rely on a strong and profoundly reshaped industrial base. Industry is a big contributor to the real economy producing real values. All efforts need to be undertaken to secure a modern, low carbon, competitive and robust industry in Europe. I call on all who can and like to contribute to the planned reshape our industrial policy to let us know what they think should be done."
Developing new policies to boost the competitiveness of European industry is the aim of a new public consultation, which is meant to provide input for the review of the industrial policy communication planned for September 2012. It will focus on developing a limited number of new initiatives that can deliver substantial results in the short-term.
Moreover new policy initiatives should have a demonstrable and significant impact on competitiveness, growth and jobs.
The consultation
The main objectives of the consultation are to discuss what policy priorities the European Commission should focus on and to gather recommendations from stakeholders on how to boost competitiveness of European industries.
The public consultation will encourage stakeholders and others to consider questions like:
- Which are the major policy priorities facing European industry today?
- How can businesses themselves better respond to these issues?
- What can policymakers do to address the issues at Member state, local or regional level?
- What can policymakers do to address the issues at EU level?
What are the issues covered by the consultation?
The questionnaire identifies a number of key areas for possible policy intervention and asks for stakeholders' views on options for changes. Some of the issues covered are the following:
- SME-friendly business environment and entrepreneurship
- Access to finance and risk capital
- Industrial innovation and technologies policy
- Skills, restructuring and structural change
- Improving the Single Market
- ICT, internet and cross-border sales
- Better and more consistent regulation
- Energy infrastructure and competition
- Internal transport market
- Environmental regulations
- Resource-efficiency and recycling
- Energy and climate
- International market access and global competition
- Access to raw materials
The original industrial policy flagship adopted in October 2010 identified the importance of a strong, diversified and competitive industrial base for the EU economy and set out a strategy for industrial competitiveness, sustainable economic growth and job creation. The review will contain a comprehensive progress report on the implementation of this strategy and its reinforcement.
The 2010 Communication "An Integrated Industrial Policy for the Globalisation Era.Putting Competitiveness and Sustainability at Centre Stage"
The public consultation runs until 7th August. A summary report will be published on the public consultation webpage.

Creatures of Light Offers Window Into Bioluminescent World
by AMNH on
The Museum's latest exhibition, which lets visitors explore a series of ecosystems that sparkle with radiant creatures, is a uniquely immersive experience.
En route to the deep-sea homes of luminous fishes, visitors walk through a field of flashing fireflies, explore caves strung with jewel-like glowworms, and "wade" through a digital bioluminescent bay that glitters underneath each step. Overhead, a symphonic soundtrack composed by Tom Phillips helps set a distinct mood for each section, contributing to a magical setting in what Edward Rothstein of The New York Timescalled "a thoroughly engrossing exhibition."
From Beaks to Genes: Chris Filardi on Island Birds and Biology
by AMNH on
Chris Filardi is the director of Pacific Programs at the Museum'sCenter for Biodiversity and Conservation. He has spent his career studying island birds and their unique ecologies, from working with indigenous communities to conserve island ecosystems to tracking the foraging behavior of Palm Cockatoos. At the upcoming SciCafe on Wednesday, April 4, Filardi will talk about how the genomic revolution and increased access to islands have changed how these systems are studied. He recently answered a few questions about the role islands play in understanding speciation, or how new species arise.
Podcast: SciCafe: Adventures in Superstring Theory
by AMNH on
Theoretical physicist Dr. S. James Gates, Jr. uses mathematics to understand string theory and superstring theory, candidates for a single, unified theory of the universe. In this talk from a recent SciCafe, Dr. Gates describes the basics of string theory and talks about the discovery of computer codes—like those used in web browsers—embedded in the equations of superstring theory.
The SciCafe took place at the Museum on January 4, 2012.
Science Bulletins Will Profile Carbon Capture Experiment
by AMNH on
This week, a producer with the Museum's multimedia online and exhibition program Science Bulletins is heading to the North Sea to create a documentary film about a long-running experiment in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): a process where high-pressure carbon dioxide, a byproduct of energy production that contributes to global warming, is buried underground until it incorporates into the rock.
Reading the Language of Firefly Flashes
by AMNH on
Flashing flirted its way up the firefly family tree. These beetles' evolutionary history shows a strange metamorphosis unfolding. Firefly eyes grow bigger, more bug-like, as the insects' light organs enlarge. Their antennae, used like a nose to follow pheromones, shrink into stubs. The more important bioluminescent courtship signaling became throughout their history, the more the trappings of invisible communication faded out.
When Marc Branham, a professor of entomology at the University of Florida, began researching fireflies, he assumed such a beloved animal would be a textbook case in entomology. He was shocked to learn how little scientists knew about the common insect.

Getting into the meat of the season where every game counts now, the Carbon Dino volleyball squad made quick work to secure their first region win. They swept Delta in three games by the score of 25-14, 27-25, and 25-11 to start region play with a 1-0 record.
Coach Cristen Johnson stated that this was the best offense her team has shown all year as the Dinos pounded the ball over the net for score after score. Megan Garvin racked up an impressive 20 kills and sophomore Joy Malone added 11 k's.
Julia Potts ran the offense with her crisp and consistent sets. She had 31 set assists for the game. Whitney Oliver served up three aces and Julia Potts and Garvin had two.
Erika Potts kept the defense strong with 19 defensive digs that kept the Rabbits from getting anything going on their side of the net. Johnson felt like this was again a team effort and she was impressed by the intensity she saw from her squad.
Next up for the Lady Dinos is North Sanpete on Tuesday night. This will be a home game with varsity beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Carbon High gym.

Scoreboard shows EU more innovative, but gap between countries widening Opublikowano w dniu : 26/03/2013, Ostatnia aktualizacja: 31/05/2013
Innovation should now be at the heart of all Member States' policy agendas. Our latest State of the Innovation Union report, also published today, shows we made progress in 2012 on some of the big ticket items like the Unitary Patent and new rules for venture capital funds, but we need to go further in order to avoid an innovation divide in Europe
Innovation performance in the EU has improved year on year in spite of the continuing economic crisis, but the innovation divide between Member States is widening.
This is the result of the European Commission Innovation Union Scoreboard 2013, a ranking of EU Member States. While the most innovative countries have further improved their performance, others have shown a lack of progress. The overall ranking within the EU remains relatively stable, with Sweden at the top, followed by Germany, Denmark and Finland. Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia are the countries that have most improved since last year. Drivers of innovation growth in the EU include SMEs and the commercialisation of innovations, together with excellent research systems. However the fall in business and venture capital investment over the years 2008-2012 has negatively influenced innovation performance.
European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani, Commissioner for Industry and Entrepreneurship, said: "This year's results show that the economic crisis has negatively impacted innovation activity in some parts of Europe. Investment in innovation is crucial if we want to maintain our global competitiveness and restore growth in Europe. We need to encourage entrepreneurship as SMEs have been a key driver of innovation."
Commissioner Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, responsible for Research, Innovation and Science, said: "Innovation should now be at the heart of all Member States' policy agendas. Our latest State of the Innovation Union report, also published today, shows we made progress in 2012 on some of the big ticket items like the Unitary Patent and new rules for venture capital funds, but we need to go further in order to avoid an innovation divide in Europe."
The European Commission has also today published a report complementary to the Scoreboard. The State of the Innovation Union report shows that the Commission has already largely delivered on the Innovation Union flagship commitments.
For individual summaries of the innovation performance of all 27 Member States, and other European countries: MEMO/13/274
The Innovation Union Scoreboard 2013 places Member States into the following four country groups
- Innovation leaders: Sweden, Germany, Denmark and Finland, all show a performance well above that of the EU average.
- Innovation followers: Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, the UK, Austria, Ireland, France, Slovenia, Cyprus and Estonia all perform above the EU average.
- Moderate innovators: Italy, Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic, Greece, Slovakia, Hungary, Malta and Lithuania perform below the EU average.
- Modest innovators: The performance of Poland, Latvia, Romania and Bulgaria is well below that of the EU average.
What makes innovation leaders successful?
The most innovative countries in the EU share a number of strengths in their national research and innovation systems, including a key role for business innovation efforts and those of the higher education sector. The business sectors of all innovation leaders perform very well in research & development (R&D) expenditure and patent applications. They also share a well-developed higher education sector and strong linkages between industry and science.
International comparisons with the EU
A comparison with other European countries confirms Switzerland's position as the overall innovation leader that continually outperforms all EU countries. This year's results also again show that South Korea, the US, and Japan have a performance lead over the EU.
South Korea's lead over the EU is increasing, but since 2008 the EU has been able to close almost half its gap with the US and Japan. The EU still lags considerably behind the global leaders notably in terms of business R&D expenditures, public-private co-publications, and patents, as well as in tertiary education. The EU continues to perform better than Australia, Canada, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
This lead has been declining with China, remained stable with the other BRICS countries and has been increasing compared to Australia and Canada.
The 2013 Innovation Union Scoreboard draws currently on 24 indicators that are grouped into three main categories and 8 dimensions:
"Enablers", i.e. the basic building blocks which allow innovation to take place (Human resources, open, excellent and attractive research systems, and finance and support);
"Firm activities", which capture innovation efforts in European firms (firm investments, linkages & entrepreneurship, and intellectual assets); and
"Outputs" which show how this translates into benefits for the economy as a whole (innovators and economic effects, including employment).

ADAMS, Mass. — The doors at St. Stanislaus Kostka Church aren't opening any time soon.
Vigilers there had hoped that a recent decision at the Vatican would force the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield to restore the church as a place of worship. The diocese, however, has appealed the Congregation of Clergy's ruling. The vigilers have been advised that they, too, should appeal to ensure their voice continues to be heard.
Laurie Haas, one of the leaders opposing the decision to close the church more than two years ago, wrote that the Friends of St. Stan's had twice contacted the diocese attempting reconciliation after the Congregation of Clergy appeared to overturn that decision in February.
"We wrote to Bishop Timothy McDonnell and offered to enter dialogue with him in an effort to agree upon a manner of implementing the decree and reopen St. Stan's in a way that would best serve the Catholic community of Adams, as well as the Diocese as a whole," Haas said in a statement. "Unfortunately, our plea for conciliation went unanswered."
St. Stan's Church was still filled with Christmas decorations in February when vigilers and supporters gathered to hear the good news about the Congregation of Clergy's ruling. Now that it has been appealed, it may be months before the church's fate is known.
The ruling by the Congregation of Clergy, which included other church closures, has proved confusing to the dioceses affected.
The decree, received in February, upholds the suppression of the parish and its merger but rejects the reasoning behind its closure, saying it should have continued in sacred use.
At the time, the diocese said the "Congregation [of Clergy] seems to be undertaking a new application of Church law" and said it would ask for clarification.
"After consultation with canon lawyers from both within and outside our diocese, we determined the need to seek this clarification through the continuation of this canonical process," said diocese spokesman Mark Dupont in an email on Friday. "It is important to note that the Vatican upheld our right to suppress the parish in all cases, which was the more significant finding."
Dupont wrote that the decrees were all based on the same applications of Church law, but resulted in different findings by the Congregation.
Haas said the vigilers, who have refused to vacate the historic Polish church since before Christmas 2008, were informed of the appeal on Friday.
In a letter sent to Haas by the Apostolic Signatura, the high court's representative states "Bishop McDonnell contends that the Congregation erred in judging that the serious reasons for his decision were not demonstrated in the documentation submitted to the Congregation."
The Diocese of Allentown, Pa., had indicated it was appealing the same ruling on nine churches it shuttered in 2008. However, the diocese dropped its appeal and the fate of those churches remains unresolved.
The vigilers had hoped the ruling would pave the way if not for resurrecting the parish, at least for reopening the building as a shrine or other sacred use.
In her statement, Haas said their canonical counsel had advised they (technically Haas and six other signatories) appeal as well to ensure their participation. "Regrettably, therefore, the Diocese has left us no alternative but to file an appeal of our own."
Haas said the Friends of St. Stan's were disappointed but confident the Vatican's Supreme Tribunal will reopen the church.
"The future of St. Stanislaus Kostka is ultimately in the hands of Almighty God."
Updated on Saturday, June 25, 2011, at 7:34 p.m. with new information on the Allentown Diocese that was brought to our attention.
ADAMS, Mass. — The Diocese of Springfield is seeking clarification on Vatican decisions related to the closing of St. Stanislaus' Kostka Church in Adams and St. George's and St. Patrick's churches in Chicopee.
In a statement released Wednesday, the diocese says, "In the case of these three churches the Congregation [of Clergy] seems to be undertaking a new application of Church law." Diocesan officials point to similar reasonings provided for the closing of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish in Chicopee, which the Congregation upheld.
Parishioners appealing closure of St. Stan's two years ago and their canonical legal advisers believe the decree received on Tuesday means the diocese must reopen the church as a place of Catholic worship. The Chicopee churches say the same.
The decree from the Congregation of Clergy upholds the suppression of St. Stan's parish and its merger with the two other parishes in Adams but rejects the reasoning behind its closure. The diocese, it states, failed to provide the "grave motivations" for its closing.
As it stands now, the use of the three churches is up to Bishop Timothy A. McDonnel. "It has to be stressed that in each instance the parish itself is not being reestablished and that any permitted use of the building will not be the same as when it was a parish church," according to the statement.
Even as parishioners celebrate news that the church may reopen, a bulletin board reminds them that the vigil is not over.
Laurie Haas reads the letter sent to the bishop along with the decree.
ADAMS, Mass. — St. Stanislaus Kostka Church is part of an "historic moment" in receiving one of several decrees from the Vatican so far that seem to open new avenues for closed churches.
Parishioners who have mounted a round-the-clock vigil were jubilant over the decision that rejected the Springfield Diocese's reasoning for closing the 100-year-old Polish place of worship. This, they say, means the church must be reopened as "a Catholic place of worship."
"This is a historic moment in the Catholic Church," said spokeswoman Laurie Haas after reading the letters sent to the diocese and the media and an English translation of the ruling from the Congregation of Clergy to the some 70-odd supporters seated in the pews. "We understand that a decree such as ours has only been issued in two other dioceses in the United States."
(Update: Similar decrees were sent to dioceses in Pennsylvania and Buffalo, N.Y., as well as to two other churches in the Springfield Diocese — St. George's and St. Patrick's, both in Chicopee.)
The ruling does not spell out what role the church may play in the parish — or whether the diocese can offer a better rationale to close it. "It's up to the bishop what happens next," said Haas.
"Depending on what occurs during this critical time will determine whether we go on to the next level to the Apostolic Signatura, the supreme court, which would perpetuate the whole matter," she continued. "I would hope to God the bishop does not want to do that."
Mark Dupont, spokesman for the Diocese of Springfield, said diocesan officials were reviewing the decree and had no comment at this time.
Francis Hajdas of the Friends of St. Stanislaus said the two-year vigil will continue.
"This is just a temporary thing until we get the official word," Hajdas warned the audience. "Come here at the usual time you signed up for. We'll let you know when it's all over."
The Friends have been leading a vigil that now numbers 200 participants to prevent the diocese from locking the doors and stripping the sacred relics from the Gothic church. They appealed the decision to merge the parish with nearby Notre Dame and St. Thomas and close St. Stan's, saying the Polish church was fiscally, physically and historically more suited as the parish church.
The Vatican decree, dated Jan. 25, reviews two separate issues: the suppression of the parish and its merger as the Parish of Pope John Paul the Great and the actual closing of the parish building as a house of worship.
The Rev. Seraphim Michalenko of the Marian Helpers led a prayer. For more information on the significant links between St. Stan's and the Marians, there is an excellent article here.
The Congregation of Clergy upholds Bishop Timothy A. McDonnell's suppression of the parish in 2008 as part of broad consolidation of numerous parishes throughout the Western Mass. diocese.
It found some technical problems with the closing (still rejecting the appeal de procedendo, or on procedure). But, more importantly, upheld the appeal on the facts (de decernendo) that the "grave motivations" for the closing were not provided.
Haas said the group and its canonical legal advisers believe this means the church should be reopened as a place of worship in some form.
Henry "Hank " Tomkowicz described the ruling as "80 percent" good because of the ambiguity of the language, the rejection of the parish appeal and the uncertainty of the bishop's response. "Hopefully, he's with us."
The Friends hope to have dialogue with the bishop on how the church can be used. While they would prefer once again attaining the status as a parish, Haas said they would be open for use as a shrine, "if it was a shrine that wasn't 6 a.m. Mass on a Monday morning, yeah, probably."
It was important, she said, that the legacy of the church continues. The working-class Polish immigrants who laid the cornerstone and their descendants have poured money and prayer into the building, which boasts such unique features as a stained-glass window with Lenin and being the first in the Western Hemisphere to have an image of The Divine Mercy enshrined within it.
It was fitting then, that the Rev. Seraphim Michaelanko of Adams, director of the Association of Marian Helpers in Stockbridge and an expert on The Divine Mercy, arrived to lead the parishioners in prayer.
But even as they prayed, and chanted "A hundred more years" in Polish, the vigilers were prepared to stick it out to the end.
"They're ready to go on for five more years if they had to because they love this church and some things are worth fighting for," said Haas.
Vatican Decision on St. Stan's
Appeal to the bishop within 10 days of a decree of suppres-
sion or merger. He's got 30 days to get back to you - or not.
If the answer is still no, the parish then has 10 days to appeal to the Congregation of Clergy in Rome. They could take years to respond and usually back the bishop.

A Night at The Golden Temple
We brought in balloons and confetti for a little extra table decor.
The festivities continued with a few Sake Bombs!For dinner I ordered the Special Pad Thai ($19.95) boasting a heaping plate of noodles with chicken, shrimp, broccoli, mushrooms, pea pods, carrots, bean sprouts, scallions, organic eggs and crushed peanuts. Friends look on as Tricia opens her present...A group of us chipped in for a little something to line the walls of her new apartment. A stunning four foot canvas of the Boston skyline. Obligatory shot of the college roommates!I'm certainly going to miss this girl! I envision a Milwaukee visit in my to be determined future. I should also add we were extremely pleased with Golden Temple as a venue choice. We received spot on service and the transition from dinner party to dance party atmosphere was perfect, everyone had a blast.

There's absolutely no reason Lough should be a platoon player, and especially not if Cruz is the one replacing him in the outfield. Any offensive value Cruz produces, would be significantly negated if he were to play in left field. Nelson Cruz came here for one reason, and one reason only; to hit. Stick to it and burn his glove. It's ludicrous for Buck to think that playing Cruz, one of the worst fielders on the team, over Lough, one of the best fielders on the team, especially when Lough hits LHP better than RHP. If both of these players produce similar to what they have done in their careers, Buck will be an idiot if he follows through on this suggestion.

I'm not debating stats, or defensive ability. You called Buck an idiot and just did it again. It's clear what you think of managers since you posted this little tidbit about managers:
"I think you place way too much value on a manager. Managers don't run, field, hit, or pitch. They put the nine best players on the field, which a middle school'r could do, and sub in relief pitchers. Any person with a stat book can put in the pitchers with the best match-up."
I'm STILL saying an internet poster is not going to make up a line up for Buck Showalter and that he is not an idiot. Buck has his reasons for what he does, ludicrous or not. If Buck wants to platoon Lough then that's what's going to happen.
I think Cruz sucks in the field as well but I would never call Buck a idiot for his decision making.

The Jonas Brothers have swept the nation and stolen the hearts of fans all over the world. Whatever the venue, Jonas Brothers tickets sell out to audiences of all ages. From their unique wholesome appeal to their upbeat tunes and addicting riffs, the Jonas Brothers are one of the hottest boy bands since the bubble gum music era featuring *NSync and the Backstreet Boys.
A trio of talent, each brother came into his musical self through different channels.
The youngest of the pop trio, Nick Jonas, was discovered when singing tunes at the ripe age of six in a barber shop while his mom was getting her hair cut. By the age of seven he was performing in hit Broadway musicals and plays such as "Beauty and the Beast," hit Broadway musicals and plays such as "A Christmas Carol," and "The Sound of Music." Nick's popularity rocketed after INO Records released his self-written single "Joy to the World (A Christmas Prayer)" to Christian radio.
Middle brother Joe Jonas originally aspired to be a comedian, though his love of music and his brothers led him to find his niche as an actor, on Broadway, as a musician and songwriter. While he favors the guitar, Joe also plays keyboards and tambourine. Oldest brother Kevin Jonas rounds out the sound of the talented trio with upbeat vocals, poppy rhythm guitar riffs and a bit of mandolin for good measure.
Individually the boys had talent. Together, the brothers possess real star power. In early 2005 Columbia Records took a shine to a song written and performed by the Jonas boys. The rest is boy band history.
Since their public debut, the Jonas Brothers have toured with "American Idol" veteran Kelly Clarkson, Aly & AJ, Jesse McCartney and many more. Whether for collective, collaborative or solo efforts, Jonas Brothers concert tickets are always on fire. In mid-2007, the trio was offered the exciting opportunity to travel and open for the Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: "Best of Both Worlds Tour." Concert tickets sold out immediately! Nick Jonas even has a side project called Nick Jonas & the Administration.
Striking out on their own, the Jonas Brothers are taking their guitars and hitting the stage during their own headlining tour. The Jonas Brothers are "The Kids of the Future" so get your Jonas Brothers tickets now!

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
Wanting to know how school districts around the state are currently doing and what issues they are facing first-hand were just some of the reasons for Utah Lieutenant Governor Greg Bell stopping by in Price on Wednesday afternoon.
Bell made a stop in Price as part of his tour around the state in an effort to visit every school district in Utah.
Many Carbon School District administrators, teachers, staff along with local state representatives were in attendance to pose questions about different topics and issues facing the school district.
Jeff Richens, a Carbon School District Board member, thought the meeting was very informative in bringing up issues that rural school districts, such as Carbon, are currently dealing with today. With 90 percent of the population living in urban areas and only 10 percent living in rural areas of the state, there are many differences in how they view certain issues including transportation and electronic high schools, Richens said.

Ford Excursion 2001-2005, Towing Mirror by Replace®. Damaged or broken mirror housings make your car unsightly, but driving with cracked or missing mirror glass can be dangerous, not to mention illegal. Don't risk your safety or run afoul of the law because of the high cost of an original equipment (OE) mirror! Replace side door mirrors are direct replacements for factory originals but cost much less. You get OE quality without the OE price.
- Factory original quality for less
- Full assembly, with mirror glass
- Direct replacement
- Installation is identical to factory unit
- No vehicle modifications required
- Backed by a limited lifetime warranty
Drive around any urban area and you'll see them: Cars and trucks with damaged, broken or even missing mirrors. Driving down narrow streets in close proximity to parked cars makes mirror-to-mirror contact almost inevitable. Mirrors have become so large (and so expensive!) that many newer cars feature power folding mechanisms to bring the mirrors close to the body and out of harm's way.
Not only does a broken or missing side mirror disfigure an otherwise nice car, it can make driving dangerous. Driving without being able to see behind or to the side of your vehicle can easily result in a collision with a vehicle you weren't able to see. And law enforcement officers will ticket, and maybe even impound, vehicles they judge to be unsafe. But going to the dealership to buy a replacement side mirror can be so expensive!
Forget about the dealer; get a Replace OE quality replacement side door mirror. For much less cash than the factory unit, you get a replacement mirror that is identical to OE in every way; same quality, same method of installation. A Replace side door mirror isn't some cheap universal fit part that will require extensive modifications to your vehicle for fitment. The Replace mirror will look, mount and function exactly the same as the original. Power and heated mirrors have the same electrical connectors, for plug and play installation.
Replace side door mirrors are so reasonably priced that there's no reason to live with a disfigured vehicle or endanger anyone by driving an unsafe car or truck. Get a Replace mirror and enjoy peace of mind and cash in your wallet! Replace is so confident in the quality of its mirrors that they're backed by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the vehicle on which the part is installed.70.00 144.80
Brand: Replace Part Numbers:
When selecting the Replace® component that is right for your model from the Product Options list, you may be offered a choice of Good, Better or Best. Good may be a part manufactured by a different company than the one that made the original part, but because it's based on the same design, it will look and function identically to the OE part. Better may be a part made by a brand name manufacturer and Best may be a part made by the same manufacturer that made the original part. Some parts labeled Best bear the seal of the Certified Automotive Parts Association (CAPA), an independent, non-profit organization that oversees a testing program to guarantee the quality of automotive parts. CAPA certified replacement parts meet the industry's toughest standards. But regardless of how the part is labeled, have confidence that whichever one you choose, it will appear and function to your satisfaction.Product Reviews (3)

City of Portland joins Portland General Electric and Habitat for Humanity to celebrate the completion of energy efficient affordable housing completed through City grant program.
(Portland, OR) On Tuesday, March 29, 2011 the City of Portland will join Portland General Electric (NYSE:POR) and the Homebuilders of Metropolitan Portland (HBAMP) at a breakfast open house to celebrate completion of energy-efficient, all-electric row houses built by Habitat for Humanity Portland/Metro East through the City of Portland's Energy Efficiency Home Pilot (PEEHP).
The event will be held on Tuesday, March 29, 2011 from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. at a home completed through the PEEHP program, located at 7610 N. Olin Avenue in Portland. Six affordable and energy efficient row houses, comprising the largest PEEHP funded project, have been completed by grant recipient Habitat for Humanity/ Portland/Metro East.
The affordable homes have been built to be 15 and 30 percent more efficient than the 2008 Oregon Energy Code. The PEEHP is a collaboration of Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, Energy Trust of Oregon, the Homebuilders Association of Metropolitan Portland, the National Association of Homebuilders, Northwest Natural Gas, and the City of Portland. In April, Habitat will sell these homes with 1% down and a 0%-interest mortgage to six pre-selected, qualified buyers earning between 30 and 60 percent of the median Portland income, or about $21,000-$43,000 for a family of four.
"PEEHP grant recipients like Habitat for Humanity have paved the way for construction of affordable, energy efficient homes in Portland.", said BDS Director Paul Scarlett. "This outcome is a direct result of the contributions of our private sector partners, who have taken a leadership role in bridging the gap between efficiency and affordability in residential construction."
PGE served several roles in the creation and construction of the homes including acting as a technical adviser in providing design review and technology direction to greatly increase the efficiency and comfort of each home.
"We are happy to partner with the City of Portland and Habitat for Humanity on this important project," said Carol Dillin, PGE's vice president of customers and economic development. "By collaborating on projects like this, where PGE can provide energy expertise and resources, we can help make homes affordable for our customers in terms of overall cost and long-term energy savings."
Rivergate Commons represents the fourth PEEHP grant award. Previous awards have funded natural gas and all-electric powered energy efficiency measures in eight single family homes and row houses. This award is funding innovative electric energy-efficient products in two, triplex row houses. Features include hybrid combination ductless and ducted high efficiency heat pumps, fresh air ventilation, and high efficiency Marathon lifetime water heaters.
The PEEHP will produce resources to help inform future residential construction projects, including the recording of costs associated with constructing energy efficient homes and case studies reflecting those instances of added complexity related to new energy efficiency measures.

LINCOLN — The Closers can't always make things right in the world, but when they start rehearsing for a gig, you can be sure the healing has begun.
Whether it's breast cancer research or solving the puzzle of arthritis, the band inspired by charitable causes has a new reason to polish its repertoire – the tragedy at Sandy Hook.
The moonlighting musicians of The Closers are in the woodshed again, preparing for a Jan. 24 show at The Met in Pawtucket to benefit the Newtown Memorial Fund. The fund was established for the sole purpose of memorializing the 26 victims of last month's shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., including 20 children who were six and seven years old.
"Most of us all have little children around the same age," says Jim Marini, one of the band's two drummer/vocalists. "That's kind of the main thing that sparked the whole idea."
While The Closers play the occasional event just for kicks, the band doesn't usually get together for a show except for charitable fundraisers because they all have regular day jobs. In the recent past, they've performed for The Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Foundation, the Relay for Life and the Arthritis Foundation of New England.
When the horrific stories of Adam Lanza's inexplicably deadly rampage began flooding the news channels, Marini was so shocked he practically forgot about the band's uniquely charitable mission.

Date Climbed: Jan 25, 2014
|With Scott Peavy. We followed the "standard" DPS route that meets the ridge about a quarter-mile southeast of the summit. The cairns and use-path helped, and we commented that whoever put it in must have done it with a lot of trial and error. We benefited as it took us less than 5 hours for the whole round trip.

|We had made two other attempts earlier in the year, but got bogged down in the crags and ravines by heading up towards the ridge line too soon. This time I found a way and ultimately found the use trail that leads to the summit. Easy to follow once you know where it is!

|We made it to the top via the large ravine on the north side of the mountain. It was more difficult than we had expected but well worth the extra effort. Great scramble with some easy to moderate rock climbing! After some minor setbacks and some additional exploring we made it to the top in about 4 hours.

|This time with a wonderful of group of hikers met through Terri. Lots of fun, and Abby made it over the last bit of climbing with the help of her 2-legged friends. Lots of problems with cholla in her fur lower down. First time was with David S. on January 29, 2011, and Abby didn't make it over the hump that time; we took turns summiting and staying with her. The very steep descent is slow for me.

Date Climbed: Feb 12, 2011
|Like a couple here (and despite the direct warning in the route description) I headed up to the ridge too early and ended up spending a fair amount of time picking my way through class 2-3 terrain near the ridgetop.
Traversing the ridge eventually brings you to some class 4+ terrain and I abandoned the ridge to the west. This intersected me (after losing a fair amount of hard earned elevation) with the standard use trail.
Absolutely beautiful warm winter day.
Pics and trip report are here
Was disappointed to stumble across BSA geocache on the east side of the summit ridge. (Ironically filled with "Leave No Trace" literature) Sad to see an organization that should be role modeling wilderness ethics involved with leaving trash in the backcountry.

The Carbon High Dinos hosted their home opener against the Emery Spartans on Tuesday afternoon which saw both the boys and girls teams come out victorious against rival Emery High.
The Carbon girls defeated Emery girls 95-41 and the boys beat the Emery boys 95-65.
"We had a lot of great swims and to be honest it even shocked me," said Carbon coach Kamra Davis. "Being the first meet of the season with most of the kids not swimming since February and half of our team just barely back from other sports, I couldn't be happier with their swims."
Our meet started off with the Girls 200 medley relay with four teams entered it was all Carbon finishing first and second. Boys 200 medley relay with five teams entered also dominated with a first place and third place finish. Starting the individual events was Erica Mantz in the 200 free this is her first time swimming this event and she swam great placing first. Boys 200 free Lance Riche captured first, Next event was a close one but Carbons Aysha Black stole the first place in the 200 I.M. from the Spartan passing her in the last 25 yards of the race. Boys 200 I.M. Brent Keller also captures first place.
In the fastest race of the night we had Paula Gibson swim first in the 50 free with freshman Dakota Noyes touching right after her in second. In a great swim by Dakota Powell he swam away with first in the 50 free slaughtering his personal best. Tatianna Larsen finishes first in the 100 butterfly. Dakota Powell swam another personal best and finished more than eight seconds before the next competitor took first in the 100 butterfly.
In the Girls 100 free Carbon shows no mercy first place belongs to Brittney Willson, and second to her teammate Paula Gibson. Boys 100 free Joel Garff take second. Boys 500 free and the longest event of the night Brent Keller captures another first. In our next relay it was one team from Carbon and one Team from Emery, Carbon girls consisting of Brittney Willson, Lauren Engar, Tatianna Larsen, and Jill Malone finished first by more than 45 seconds over Emery.
In the boys 200 free relay Carbon also is victorious, their team consisting of Thory VanDyke, Zach Prettyman, Dylan Jarrett, and Landon Barr. Carbon girls took control in the 100 back with first belonging to Aysha Black, second is Erica Mantz, and third Dakota Noyes. Boys 100 back was a intense race between Carbons Lance Riche and Emerys Weston Allinson, Allinson was leading until the last 15 yards on the race and Riche kicked it in gear fighting back and just out touching him, their times were only three tenths of a second apart, which brought the crowd to their feet.
A freshman, Heidi Prettyman took second in the 100 breaststroke. Thory VanDyke also took second in the 100 breaststroke. The last relays of the night saw the Carbon girls finish first in front of the next relay by over 30 seconds and in second is also a team from Carbon finishing in front of Emerys team by 40 seconds. For the boys this race has always been a close one between Carbon and Emery but Carbon once again is victorious over the Spartans.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Shares of Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., and Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. made big moves during U.S. trading Wednesday, while Apple Inc. and Citigroup Inc. were among top trending tickers.
Top tickers trending
$AAPL: Apple AAPL, +0.17% slumped 6.4%, its worst single-day percentage loss since December 2008. The stock is headed for what investors refer to as a "death cross," which is formed when its 50-day moving average crosses below its 200-day moving average.
Still, this is not necessarily a bad thing, according to Collin Monsarrat at Birinyi Associates Inc.
The death cross "has happened 5 times in AAPL since November 2000. Looking at these occurrences the data is fairly inconclusive but if it shows anything it is that a death cross implies better performance going forward," he said in an investors' bulletin. "The stock has tended to struggle for the week and month following the cross, but 3 months later the stock has tended to be not only up but outperform the S&P 500 60% of the time," he said.
Mossberg reviews iTunes 11
iTunes 11 makes major improvements to the most popular program for buying and playing media; "Black Ops 2" sales top $2 billion in 15 days; and Netflix strikes a deal with Disney.
Meanwhile, some clearing firms are reportedly raising the margin requirement for Apple shares. StreetInsider.com said COR Clearing raised its margin requirement for Apple to 60% from 30%.
Laurence Balter, principal with Oracle Investment Research, told Barron's that this is due to the rogue trader at Rochdale Securities whose unauthorized trade in Apple shares resulted in a $5 million loss for the brokerage. See: Former Rochdale trader charged in Apple trade
Apple is also due back in court for a post-trial hearing in its fight with Samsung Electronics 005930, -0.32% on Thursday. When it goes before the judge, it will seek to impose injunctions on various Samsung products, which it says infringed on its patents while Samsung will try to get a new trial and reduce the $1-billion verdict. Here's a quick laundry list of what Apple and Samsung will be arguing over from allthingsd.com: See: Four things to watch at Apple-Samsung hearing
Separately, market researcher International Data Corporation raised its 2012 forecast for the global tablet market to 122.3 million units from its previous forecast of 117.1 million. It also said its 2013 forecast to 172.4 million versus 165.9 million units previously and by 2016, global shipments are likely to reach 282.7 million units.
Android's tablet share is expected to rise to 42.7% in 2012 from 39.8% in 2011 while Apple's share will slip to 53.8% from 56.3%. "Windows-based tablets (including Windows 8 and Windows RT) will grab share from both iOS and Android, growing from 1% of the market in 2011 to 2.9% in 2012, on its way to 10.2% in 2016," IDC said in its report.
@NorthmanTrader: $AAPL is holding the entire class back.
@market_raven: Apple is about to be marked for death... $AAPL
@AsifAmeer_AP: $AAPL is rising downwards.
@tomliberti: If the #fed would stop buying treasuries and start buying $AAPL the world will be fixed.
@davidpbaskin: $AAPL can be seen as either a real company with products, or as a trading vehicle for speculators and hedge funds. Clearly the latter today.
