Financial Review on Industrial Goods Stocks McDermott International Inc. and Fluor Corp. - Heavy Construction Companies Battle for Contracts NEW DELHI, INDIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/06/12 -- A decrease in public construction in the U.S. continues to be a concern for the heavy construction industry, within which companies such as McDermott International Inc. and Fluor Corporation operate. Competition for available contracts remains spirited, and in some cases companies have landed projects only after offering deep discounts. The Heavy Construction industry has seen the above updates lately. And members can today access complimentary reports for two companies, McDermott International Inc. (NYSE: MDR) and Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR), serving this industry by following this link http://www.street-wire.com/register.php www.Street-Wire.com has brought together some of the best financial and technical minds from around the biggest economies globally so that you can have an array of free stock research and reporting.

Sign up now for your free membership at http://www.street-wire.com/register.php It is not all doom and gloom however. According to a recent article put out by the Associated General Contractors of America, construction spending rose to an almost three-year high in September, as spending in a number of private areas, such as houses and apartments increased. While this is a good sign, the article also stated that levels of public construction, which greatly affects the heavy construction industry, continued to be subdued. Several companies have been able to land infrastructure projects as of late though, and with the upcoming election soon to be decided, it will be interesting to see how it affects the heavy construction industry moving forward.

Enjoyed the flexabilty of the two routes. The driver on the blue route gave us additional information other than the commentary. Great way to see the highlights of Auckland if you have limited time and no transport. Would recommend

Took you to places you couldn't reach by local transport loved the views from Mt Eden
Doing what: Auckland Hop-on Hop-off Tour
I've used hop on, hop off in many cities and this was a little different - less frequent buses (one an hour or one per half hour) and the advantage that the two days need not be consecutive. The commentary was short and sweet, the stops well chosen and staff helpful. Really useful not just for 'orientaton' but also to get transport to attractions. Good value even if a little dearer than other places.

text: Hi, I have a computer set up with a KVM switch. When using the computer and not opening a browser, IE or Firefox, the radio is fine. When I open a browser I get interference on the radio ... Low frequency on the fm bW in the 80 Mhz range. If I open both browsers it completely kills the signal with noise. Upper frequencies past the 90 Mhz range are not effected. I am wondering as a curiousity what is happening and how the opening or use of ports on a computer can do this. Also, for giggles I'd like to know what the fix is for something like this. Thanks in advance. D

Boxe Magnat Soundforce 1300
3-way floorstanding speaker
Boxe JBL Studio Monitor 4312M II
Downsized to desktop. The JBL 4312M II delivers the legendary JBL studio sound to audio enthusiasts with limited listening space. With a tempered pure titanium dome and white pure pulp cone with pleated cloth surround, the 3-way compact monitor loudspeaker has been reworked from the previous version with new drive elements and a dividing network and enclosure to dramatically improve power, clarity and efficiency.

A 125mm (5-inch) pure-pulp cone and 25mm (1-inch) copper voice coil with Kapton® bobbin realistically reproduce the full dynamics of vocal performances with low distortion, even at the highest listening levels. A 25mm (1-inch) tweeter with a magnesium/aluminium alloy dome extends HF response far beyond the audible range of the humanear. Built in mirror-image pairs to create the detailed, coherent stereo soundstage that studio monitors must, the JBL 4312 E exceeds the expectations of critical listeners and music professionals alike, providing a listening experience of such richness and subtlety that it cannot be compared to anything but a live performance.

Arrival in Milan baggage claim
We proceeded swiftly through the terminal on to immigration. All 51 of us passed through with no problems then gathered in baggage claim.
After arriving in Milan we boarded Salvatore's bus which took us to Treviso by way of Verona.
Because of the restrictive rules about taking buses into Italian cities Salvatore had to drop us off just outside the touristy part of town. We spent about two hours checking out the old buildings and trying to cool off in air conditioned shops. There seemed to be a lot of very well-dressed locals wandering the streets. Everything seemed so expensive no matter where we looked.
That night we stayed at the
Hotel Oasi
in Treviso. A very nice, clean hotel. Too bad they didn't turn on the a/c until the next day.
For dinner we walked down the street to the Spaghetti Club for a great pasta dinner. The single beer I had at dinner plus my jetlag put me right to sleep despite the heat and humidity in my room.

Forty-Five minutes later...still waiting
Everyone had plenty of time to freshen-up in the restsrooms as we waited and waited for our luggage to arrive. Meanwhile I could imagine the always punctual Jurgen waiting for us just outside the customs area door. Of course when the baggage finally did start to come out on th belt ours was the very last to arrive (First on, last off). That's what we get for getting to the airport so early.
The tour begins
Jurgen was all smiles when we met up outside the baggage claim. He quickly got us all on the bus and headed toward our first stop in Verona. He didn't shut-up for the first hour of the trip telling us all about what we would see and do, what to watch out for and a little bit about himself. He had us all cracking up from the minute we got on the bus. He's done enough trips to know that it was important to keep us all awake the first day so that we would be truly sleepy at bedtime. Little did he realize just how much this group could sleep. We were lucky enough to get a nice air-conditioned bus with tinted windows. It was stifling outside but we were quite comfortable inside. This photo shows a dam over the Adda River (a tributary of the more renowned Po)
A virtual parking lot
Just as Jurgen was winding down we started slowing down. Then we stopped completely. Traffic was at a standstill. This is when we got our first glimpse at the skills of our driver, Salvatore. Somehow he got our huge bus through the traffic and off at the next exit. He found a road paralleling the Autostrada. After maybe 15 minutes of driving, checking his GPS and jabbering on his cell phone all at the same time, he brought us back on the A4 somewhere past Bergamo. As we entered the highway we could see a two car accident blocking the road. All the drivers stuck behind it were out of their cars yakking on their cell phones or conversing with the other drivers.
Our first stop
Having been on a couple of these motor coach tours in the past I knew that European driving laws mandated that bus drivers have to take a 15 minute break every 2-3 hours of driving. I eagerly awaited our first stop. I was getting a bit peckish. Soon enough we pulled into one of the omnipresent Autogrills found along the highway. Inside are extremely clean toilets, very good food, cold drinks and some pretty nice souvenirs. I picked up a bag of Bounty candy bars, a nice big bottle of Orange Fanta and a bag of chips. A healthy Italian lunch. Foolishly I passed up buying some of the salamis, pepperonis and cheeses sold in the little grocery section. I assumed I'd get a chance later in the trip.
We would be spending our first night just outside Venice clear on the opposite side of Northern Italy but first we would make a quick visit to Verona.
Downtown Verona
Just inside the old town wall is the pedestrian-only zone of old Verona. The city is best remembered as the setting for Romeo and Juliet but it offers much more. This part of town has some of the best gelato and graniti (Italian Slurpee) stands in Italy. With temperatures in the mid 90's we would be needing a lot of these.
The famous Juliet balcony
This is the major tourist sight in town. Even though there is absolutely no proof that this balcony had anything at all to do with Romeo and Juliet (it's actually believed to be part of an old bordello) all the tourists flock here to take photos and rub the chest of Juliet's statue down below it.
The winged lion of St. Mark
I feel I know quite a bit about American and English history but I know very little about Italy's. I was surprised to learn that the mighty City-State of Venice once ruled Verona. This Renaissance building features the symbol of the rulers of Venice, the winged lion of St. Mark.
The best of Italy
For months before our departure Gail and I talked about all the gelato we were going to sample on this trip. When we saw this huge Gelateria with over 50 flavors we had to make a pit stop. Gail got a coffee flavored single dip while I got my favorite, Nutella.
The Roman Coliseum of Verona
Verona's most impressive sight and its most genuine one is the huge Roman amphitheater sitting in the middle of the town. It's in better shape than the more famous Coliseum in Rome. It is still used today for Operas and concerts. The giant head is a prop being brought in for "Aida".
Overnight in Treviso
We weren't lucky enough to get hotel accomodations in Venice most likely because of the expense. In the past EF has put us up in Lido de Jesolo on the Adriatic Coast. It's a bustling shore town with a good bit of night life that normally keeps the kids occupied. But at the last minute EF changed our reservations and booked us into the Hotel Oasi in Treviso. Once we got the a/c going it turned out to be a nice comfortable hotel. Dinner was at the Spaghetti Club just up the street and it was wonderful. It was our first chance to sit down and meet some of the people in our tour group. The guy in this picture is Jim Aspros. He became a legend on this trip. I've never met anyone who had more fun on a vacation than this guy. That day in Verona Jim had tried to withdraw money using his AAA credit card he had purchased just for the trip. When he couldn't get money out of any machines he discovered that he had an expired credit card. He spent most of the day trying to straighten things out. With it being the weekend his problems continued through the next two days. It never dampened his enthusiasm.

Doug, I love the pics. Your narrations are great too. Do you take notes or do you just have a great memory?

My Travelogues
I took a few notes, but I rely mainly on looking through all my pictures. I only post maybe 1/4 of all I took. Seeing them as well as Gail's helps me reconstruct the day in my head. If you notice, I "cleverly" avoid mentioning names of restaurants, what everyone had for dinner and prices of a lot of things because I was lazy this trip and didn't write that stuff down like I should have. P.S. Tyler's girlfriend, Gen, is the real genius. When I forget some of the little details I ask her and she remembers almost eveything.

Line 4 Sheppard[2] is the most recently built subway line of the Toronto rapid transit system, operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). It has five stations[2] and is 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi) long. It opened on November 22, 2002.[3]
The entire line runs under or near Sheppard Avenue East. All of its stations connect to surface TTC bus routes. All stations have elevators for wheelchair access, and public art; noteworthy examples are the scenic mural at Sheppard–Yonge, the illusionary sketches at Bayview, and Leslie Station's hundreds of tiles showing the words "Sheppard & Leslie" handwritten by members of the public.
Sheppard is the only rapid transit line without a yard; cars are stored at Davisville Subway Yard on the Yonge section of Line 1 Yonge–University.
When the subway opened it was given the name "Sheppard line" and the official name 4 Sheppard Subway.[4]
In October 2013, the TTC announced plans to give the lines official numbers to help riders and visitors to navigate the system. The Sheppard line is numbered as Line 4 and the new signage commenced in March 2014.[5][6][7]
The Sheppard Line was proposed as part of the Network 2011 transportation plan, unveiled in 1985, which called for a line from Yonge Street to Victoria Park Avenue.[8] The plan was approved by Metropolitan Toronto, but funding was delayed by the provincial government of David Peterson's Liberal Party.
In 1993, the governing New Democratic Party (NDP) under Bob Rae proposed provincial funding for four subway/LRT projects for the TTC. Included in these four proposals were plans to build new subway lines along Eglinton and Sheppard Avenues and work was begun on both projects.[9] The NDP was defeated in the 1995 provincial election, and the Progressive Conservatives under Mike Harris were elected. Harris cancelled the Eglinton subway (and filled in the hole near Eglinton West station), but continued work on the Sheppard Line.
Funding for the Sheppard Line was rejected by city council.[clarification needed] However, after a number of votes on different alterations to the project (including only building the subway to Leslie Street), the proposal to build the Sheppard Line tunnels only, without tracks, was passed by a narrow margin. After this vote passed city council, a re-vote was taken on the entire Sheppard line project to Don Mills, which then passed by the narrowest of margins. Some[who?] believed that North York Mayor Mel Lastman's political clout (he was later elected Mayor of the amalgamated City of Toronto) was crucial to the Sheppard Line proposal being implemented.[citation needed] Downsview Station was added to the Spadina segment of Line 1 partially in anticipation of the Sheppard project's westward extension.[citation needed]
The Sheppard subway was the first "suburban" subway in Toronto; the previous TTC lines had started from downtown Toronto. However, North York, there has been dense high-rise development on Yonge Street between Sheppard and Finch Avenue since the 1980s, known as North York Centre, giving it the nickname of the "new downtown" upon which other surrounding suburban areas were increasingly relying. The case for building the subway line was that the existing TTC bus service could not handle the commuter capacity: full buses drove past waiting crowds at bus stops. Although some[who?] suggested that expanding Sheppard Avenue to allow for dedicated bus lanes would have been much cheaper than a subway, it would be difficult to acquire the necessary right-of-way as Sheppard Avenue ran though a built-up Willowdale community. The then-new Fairview Mall commuter parking garages at Don Mills were also intended to take the pressure off of the crowded Finch Station.
Another reason was to alleviate the congested Highway 404–Don Valley Parkway (DVP) route; while Highway 404 was widened by the province in 1999–2007, similar plans to expand the DVP were not approved by city council, and this would result in an inevitable bottleneck. The intention was that downtown-bound motorists would exit Highway 404 at Sheppard Avenue, and take the subway to avoid this choke point.[citation needed]
Completion and opening[edit]
When the Sheppard line opened in 2002, it was the city's first new subway line since the opening of the Bloor–Danforth line in 1966. It is shorter than had been planned, running from Yonge Street (at the former Sheppard station, renamed Sheppard–Yonge when the Sheppard line opened) east to Don Mills Road rather than further west to Downsview Station and southeast to Scarborough Centre Station.
The Sheppard line cost just under C$1 billion and took eight years to build. It is the first subway line in Canada that had plain tunnel sections built entirely by tunnel boring machine. All stations on the line are in cut-and-cover sections, and just east of Leslie Station, there is an enclosed bridge over the east branch of the Don River. The Sheppard line is the only subway line in Toronto not to have any open sections. Yonge Street had to be diverted for several years in order to accommodate the expansion of Sheppard Station.
Platform screen doors were proposed for the Sheppard line. Installed at the edge of the platforms, platform screen doors would align themselves with the subway-car doors when in station for safety and suicide prevention. The system was dropped on the account of cost.
Stations are built to take the TTC's standard subway trains of six 23-metre (75 ft) cars eventually, but part of each platform has been blocked off, since only four-car trains are needed to carry the amount of traffic the line receives. The line is designed in a way that it can be extended at both ends, allowing for the construction of the planned westward and eastward branches. Likewise, the Sheppard line level of Sheppard–Yonge station is constructed as a roughed-in Spanish solution station to anticipate increased ridership.
The automated system to announce each stop was installed in January 2006.
Residential development[edit]
The Sheppard line has spurred over $1 billion of construction of new housing,[when?] including several high-rise condominium towers, along its route as transit-oriented developments. Condominium towers have been built around Bayview Station, where none had existed prior to the 2000s. In addition, between Leslie and Bessarion stations, a former Canadian Tire warehouse/distribution centre next to Highway 401 (the chain retains a store nearby, along with Mark's Work Wearhouse, also owned by Canadian Tire) was demolished and the land was being sold to Concord Adex Investments Limited of Vancouver. Construction on the first phase is well underway to develop the area into a large multi-condo complex, Concord Park Place, which includes a community park.[10] There is also development around Swedish furniture chain IKEA in the immediate area; IKEA runs a free shuttle bus between the store and Leslie station.
The Daniels Corporation built a six-tower development, called NY Towers, north of the 401 between Bayview and Bessarion; Arc Condominiums on the northeast corner of Bayview/Sheppard; and terraced condos just east of their NY Towers. Shane Baghai built a multi-tower development in the area.

From late 2002 to 2011, ridership on the Sheppard subway rose from about 10.7 million riders annually to a peak of 15.9 million. However, in 2014, ridership on the line dropped slightly to 15.1 million. (The TTC doesn't consider that a statistically significant decline.)[11]
The following list shows the typical number of customer-trips made on the Sheppard subway on an average weekday:
- 2007–2008 – 45,860[12]
- 2008–2009 – 45,410[13]
- 2009–2010 – 47,700[14]
- 2010–2011 – 49,150[15]
- 2011–2012 – 50,410[16]
- 2012–2013 – 49,410[17]
The line has been derided as a "subway to nowhere" or a "stubway".[18] Apart from the Sheppard–Yonge and Don Mills terminals, its stations have received relatively little use, even during rush hour. The total ridership on the Sheppard subway line is approximately 46,000 per average weekday, similar to a few of the TTC's busiest streetcar and bus routes, though these routes are generally much longer than Sheppard's 5.5-kilometre (3.4 mi) length. One significant problem is that the Sheppard line feeds into the already overcrowded Yonge segment of Line 1 Yonge–University, since the Sheppard line does not have its own train yard and does not continue west to the Spadina segment of the line. During the City of Toronto's 2008 budget crisis, the TTC considered shutting the line down on weekends or entirely.[19]
Jarrett Walker, a transportation consultant and the author of the book Human Transit, says "Sheppard's technology makes it both expensive to abandon and expensive to extend; that's the trap."[20]
Councillor Josh Colle, who is chairing the TTC since December 2014, said in May 2015, that given the existing Sheppard subway's performance, he cannot rationalize spending more money to expand it east from Don Mills or west from Sheppard–Yonge. He estimates that the Sheppard subway receives a subsidy of more than $10 per ride.[11]
Future expansion[edit]
Several proposals have been made to extend the line in both directions.
The original proposal for the Sheppard line was for a major subway line running from Downsview Station on the Spadina line to Scarborough Centre Station. Instead, funding was only approved for a truncated line, with several phased expansions.
The TTC considered the eastward extension of the Sheppard line to Scarborough Centre Station as one of its top priorities for rapid-transit expansion, which would see the expansion of rapid transit in Scarborough for the first time since the completion of Line 3 Scarborough. The eastward extension would include new stations at Consumers Road, Victoria Park Avenue, Warden Avenue, Kennedy Road, Agincourt GO Station, and Progress Avenue, terminating at the existing Scarborough Centre Station on the Scarborough RT line. The expansion proposal also included the possible addition of a station at Willowdale Avenue between Sheppard–Yonge and Bayview stations on the existing portion of the line.
The TTC estimates that a Sheppard subway to Scarborough Centre would have 7,800 riders per hour while 10,000 per hour is the minimum number of riders per hour considered appropriate for a subway. The maximum capacity of the subway is about 30,000 riders per hour, approximately the load the Yonge line carries in the morning rush.[11]
A separate 4.5-kilometre (2.8 mi) westward extension to Downsview Station considered the creation of stations at Senlac Road, Bathurst Street, and Faywood Boulevard. Lower population density made this expansion a much lower priority, as the minimal increase in ridership was insufficient to justify the costs. The approval of the Spadina subway extension into York Region renewed interest in this phase, as a subway connection between Downsview and Sheppard–Yonge stations would significantly lower commuting times for York University students. The tunnel from Sheppard-Yonge to Welbeck Road (east of Senlac) was built for train storage at the time of original construction.
Transit City[edit]
In March 2007, the City of Toronto and the TTC released the Transit City proposal to begin a new round of transit expansion using light rail technology on dedicated rights-of-way instead of subway technology. Under this plan the Sheppard East subway extension had been replaced by a light rail line running from Don Mills Station along Sheppard Avenue East to Meadowvale Road, where it would meet the northern terminus of an extended Line 3 Scarborough. Under this proposal, there would be no direct connection between North York Centre and Scarborough City Centre.
In 2009, a westward extension was again considered by the TTC to link the line to Wilson Subway Yard. It was immediately dismissed due to cost.[21]
Ford era[edit]
As a result of the election of Rob Ford as mayor of Toronto in 2010, the western extension of the Sheppard subway to Downsview Station and the eastern extension to Scarborough Centre were considered a priority again.[22] Ford indicated in a December 2010 interview with The Globe and Mail newspaper that all other transit projects would come second to completing the Sheppard line. Ford stated "I'm just focusing on doing the Sheppard subway underground".[23]
On March 31, 2011, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford announced that the proposed Sheppard East LRT line would be replaced by western and eastern extensions for the Sheppard Subway so that the completed line would run from Downsview Station to Scarborough Centre. The Province of Ontario approved this plan, which is estimated to cost $4.2 billion. The City of Toronto will assume complete financial responsibility for the project, which is proposed to be funded through a public–private partnership, as well as surplus funds from the proposed Eglinton Crosstown line, if there will be any. Massive redevelopment along the route would be needed to generate these funds, as the current population density and projected ridership is too low to support the cost of the expansion by itself.[24][25]
Metrolinx estimates that the Sheppard West extension to Downsview would be 5.45 km (3.39 mi) long, add two stations, and cost $1.48 billion. The Sheppard East extension would be 8 km (5.0 mi) long, add seven stations, and cost $2.75 billion.[26]
Gordon Chong, head of the TTC agency tasked with analyzing the new subway plans, has said it is possible that no new transit development will occur along Sheppard.[27]
Stintz's alternative[edit]
On January 23, 2012, TTC Chair Karen Stintz suggested a plan to extend the line two stops eastwards funded by making the eastern portion of the Eglinton Crosstown line at street level.[28] This motion was defeated by the TTC board. She then got 24 councillors (a majority) to sign a petition calling for a special council meeting for February 8 of that year.
In the meeting, council voted to build the Eglinton project according to the original Transit City plan (partly underground and partly at grade), build an at-grade Finch LRT, and to appoint a panel to recommend whether to pursue the eastward extension of the Sheppard subway or construct the Sheppard East LRT instead. The panel reported back to council on March 31, 2012.[29] At this council meeting, council approved light rail rather than a subway extension for Sheppard.[30] On April 26 of that year, the motion to build the LRT was announced by the Minister of Transportation after being approved unanimously by Metrolinx.[31] The plan still needs to be approved by Ontario's cabinet, though on June 29, 2012, the Board of Directors of Metrolinx unanimously approved the same motion approved by Metrolinx in April.[32]
Tory era and beyond[edit]
During the 2014 Toronto mayoral election, incumbent Rob Ford (and his brother Doug Ford after the prior's withdrawal) were the only major candidates who supported completing the Sheppard Line east to Sheppard and McCowan (phase 1 projects) and west to Downsview Station (phase two projects).[33] John Tory, who won the election, did not include anything on the Sheppard corridor in his maps. However he did say that he would proceed with the LRT, although the project would not be a priority for him.[34]
On April 27, 2015, Steven Del Duca, the Ontario Minister of Transportation, said that the LRT project would not start until at least 2021. Another municipal election will be held in 2018.[35]
Service frequency[edit]
The frequency for this line is 5–6 minutes at all times.
On September 4, 2005, an overnight service on Sheppard Avenue East was introduced. The 385 Sheppard East Blue Night bus provides late-night service when the subway is not in operation with the frequency of 30 minutes. This service terminates at Sheppard–Yonge Station and follows Sheppard Avenue to Meadowvale.

Cecil Elementary School custodian provides $7,200 for computer equipment
Thumping behind Lew Crouse's aw-shucks personality and humble disposition is a giving heart, one with a direct line to his wallet.
Crouse, a custodian at Cecil Elementary School in Washington County, provided $7,200 for the school to buy computer equipment for its 240 students from kindergarten through fourth grade.
"I'm not comfortable being in the spotlight," said Crouse, 53, deflecting attention. "We wanted to stay anonymous, but it leaked out. They had to give me a receipt, so I guess that's how word got out."
Crouse has worked in Canon-McMillan School District for 15 years, including 10 at Cecil Elementary.
He retired from a second job with McGuffey School District in 2012, having worked a night shift as a custodian there for 12 years. He runs a 200-acre farm in Graysville, Greene County, where he raises sheep and hogs.
The door-to-door trip from farm to school is 38 miles. Crouse drives it daily, arriving in Cecil by 7 a.m. to unlock the building and set up for breakfast before busying himself mopping floors, collecting garbage or sanitizing door knobs to try to keep students from getting sick.
"He knows the kids by name; he knows their birthdays," said Principal Tula Dziak. "He goes the extra mile."
At Christmas, Crouse gave every student a voucher for a McDonald's Happy Meal.
He and his wife gave the money for computers "so the kids will have it better than we had it," said Crouse, who took his first computer class as a junior at West Greene High School.
Deborah Crouse is the business affairs director and board secretary for Central Greene schools.
Cecil administrators used the donation to buy 32 Acer Chromebooks and two iPads. The boxes are stacked in the administration office, and the computers will go into use next week.
The Chromebooks will replace aging netbooks the third- and fourth-graders use. The iPads will be added to 28 the school owns and will go to classes from kindergarten through second grade, Dziak said. The purchases would not have been possible without the donation, she said.
"There's no way we could have purchased that many," Dziak said. "It would have taken years to get that many through the budget."
The Crouses have three children, ages 26 to 35. Crouse dotes on his granddaughter, who turns 2 in June, but he said the students and staff at Cecil Elementary hold a special place.
"It's sort of like one big family," said Crouse, who is thinking of retiring. "The good Lord has been good to us, and we wanted to give something back to the kids."

The New York Times reported this month that the Farallon Capital Management fund that Steyer managed until 2012 invested in Australian and Indonesian coal mines that increased their annual production by about 70 million tons -- "more than the amount of coal consumed annually by Britain." Others have reported on Farallon's stake in tar sands oil.
In June, Steyer wrote on the blog of NextGen Climate, which he founded, that though climate change had not always been on his radar, he came to believe he could no longer invest in fossil fuels. NextGen spokeswoman Suzanne Henkels extolled Steyer for stepping down from his business in 2012 and making "a commitment to dedicate himself full time to take action on what he feels is the defining issue for the next generation." He "has committed to giving away the bulk of his financial blessings to philanthropy and public interest causes," she said.
Another take would be that having amassed a fortune, Steyer can afford to moralize about how student endowments should invest. Now he's using that fortune to peddle influence.
Environmentalists were quick to forgive Steyer, who has pledged to spend $100 million this year to help elect like-minded Democrats. Activist Bill McKibben wrote, "If, as the Times puts it, Steyer is 'shadowed by coal,' so are the rest of us."
I am a global warming skeptic, which makes me a natural critic of Fossil Free UC's goals. Even so, I know that coal is a dirty fuel. So yes, I would expect a big-talking Democratic donor to refrain from lending tens of millions of dollars to coal companies likely to step up production in order to pay off loans. Though I agree with McKibben that everyone with standards is a hypocrite about something, I am "gobsmacked" -- as one Australian environmentalist put it -- at the cynicism of the Steyer disinvestment model.
Though Steyer pulled out of Farallon, his deals will be pumping out carbon for decades to come. He took 18 months to divest from fossil fuels; he was careful with his assets. Now Steyer and like-minded environmentalists are browbeating universities into forsaking the same opportunities for nice returns on investment -- for a gesture that won't do anything to reduce global warming.

After a free consultation meeting up with the doctor himself, i was set for an operation at my own convenience, timewise. Being a short operation i was given the possibility of choosing the date with ease. The scar left before from a previous FUT is now fully covered - recovery was fast, and right 2 days after the operation i was at work: the doctor had, in fact, made the donor area completely invisible by leaving the hair around at its original lenght. This means the now redish donor area was covered and the blood clots that fell few day later could not be detected! Very pleased with the professionalism, and good care received.
It was a great surgery. I went in and had a consultation the day before and felt assured by the doctor. They are very professional and explain everything before hand. The surgery was long but not painful at all. It's too early to comment on the results but so far so good. I would definitely recomend new age clinic.
I had 3064 FUE grafts operation at this clinic. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Staff and Drs are very friendly. They have explained me everything before,during and after the procedure. If you are going to do this surgery, do it once and do it in the right place.

Carrack/Vlieboot Model - Half Moon
by ZombieCat, published
Thing Info
The age of exploration was fueled by the development of sea-worthy boats like this one. This file gives you the frame for a model of one of the more famous "vlieboot" vessels made, the Half Moon (or Halve Maen as the Dutch called it), that was captained by Henry Hudson. This is similar in design to the Carracks that Columbus and Magellan sailed.
With the frame as a starting point, students can then figure out how to sheath the frame, add masts and sails, and make their craft seaworthy for a fun project that brings the age of exploration to life.
This is designed to be cut in 3mm plywood and should be straight forward to assemble as the ribs are numbered.
I have included a picture of a version I wrapped in duct tape to make it float (I put some nuts and bolts in the bottom for ballast). I look forward to seeing what others do with this.

After a long period of neglect, the philosophy of chemistry is slowly being recognized as a newly emerging branch of the philosophy of science. This paper endorses and defends this emergence given the difficulty of reducing all of the philosophical problems raised by chemistry to those already being considered within the philosophy of physics, and recognition that many of the phenomena in chemistry are "epistemologically emergent".

text: After a number of promising years with national youth teams when she helped to deliver the highest-ever finish for the Great Britain U20 team, Clark was handed a chance to play at senior level during EuroBasket Women 2013. She returned last summer to help the team reach their third successive FInal Round and will be hoping to continue her input coming off the bench. After completing her time in the NCAA at Long Beach State, she has since played professionally in Spain with Zamarat. A very talented international netball player, she chose basketball and was perhaps persuaded by her brother Dan who plays for the senior men and father Mark who is the former head coach of the senior women side. She has range and is a good shot-blocker and will be eager to make a bolder statement on the court during 2015.

This striking nine-story hotel with a compact marble lobby caters to the business traveler, from its brisk service to snappy same-day laundry and 24-hour room services. While on the small side and lacking in decor, rooms are neat and comfortable with queen-size beds. Deluxe rooms include free Fiji water and are on the eighth floor; you can command much the same fantastic view over Suva if you can snag a standard room on the seventh. The restaurant's eclectic menu changes monthly to appeal to long-stay corporate guests.

The literacy rate in Farmer Brown's barn goes up considerably once his cows find an old typewriter and begin typing. To the harassed farmer's dismay, his communicative cows quickly become contentious:
Dear Farmer Brown,
The barn is very cold at night. We'd like some electric blankets.
The Cows
When he refuses to comply with their demands, the cows take action. Farmer Brown finds another note on the barn door: "Sorry. We're closed. No milk today." Soon the striking cows and Farmer Brown are forced to reach a mutually agreeable compromise, with the help of an impartial party--the duck. But this poor, beleaguered farmer's "atypical" troubles are not over yet!
This hilarious tale will give young rebels-in-the-making a taste of the power of peaceful protest and the satisfaction of cooperative give and take. Witty watercolors by award-winning illustrator Betsy Lewin (Snake Alley Band, Araminta's Paint Box) will make this a favorite for one and all, even if words such as "ultimatum" and "neutral" throw the younger set. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Plucky barnyard denizens unite to improve their working conditions in this hilarious debut picture book from Cronin (appropriately enough, an attorney). Farmer Brown is dumbfounded when his cows discover an old typewriter in the barn and begin experimenting ("All day long he hears click, clack, moo. Click, clack, moo. Clickety clack moo"). Things really get out of hand when the cows began airing their grievances. Lewin (Araminta's Paint Box) conveys the fellow's shock as he reads: "Dear Farmer Brown, The barn is very cold at night. We'd like some electric blankets. Sincerely, The Cows." When Farmer Brown denies the cows' request, the bovine organizers go on strike. Through the use of the man's shadow, Lewin communicates his rage: the straw in his hat creates the appearance of his hair on end. With help from a neutral duck mediator, the exasperated Farmer Brown finally makes concessions. But, much to his dismay, the cows are not the only creatures that can type. Cronin humorously turns the tables on conventional barnyard dynamics; Lewin's bold, loose-lined watercolors set a light and easygoing mood that matches Farmer Brown's very funny predicament. Kids and underdogs everywhere will cheer for the clever critters that calmly and politely stand up for their rights, while their human caretaker becomes more and more unglued. Ages 3-7. (Feb.)

Keeping Lawn and Garden Tools in Shape
Keep your spring maintenance tools rust-free, sharpened and mechanically sound.
Just like your car, if you ignore your lawn mower during the winter season you'll have problems come spring. In addition to reading your owner's manual for maintenance guidelines, here are some general pointers from John Deere to get your mower in order:
On your to-do list should be checking the oil, replacing the filter and changing the transmission fluid and engine coolant. Also, drain and replace the fuel, which can break down over the winter and cause hard starting.
Taking care of your blades will in turn take care of your lawn. With sharp blades you'll make clean cuts and reduce the possibility of fungus and disease.
Adjust the tension of belts as needed. If you notice cracks or separation in the belt, it's time to get a replacement.
Tires in good shape will help you maneuver on uneven terrain and prevent the risk of slipping on hillsides.
Use a bicycle tire pump to inflate the tire with the proper pressure. Tired of flat tires? Opt for The Carefree Tire (www.carefreetire.com). It's airless, lightweight and guaranteed to never go flat. If the tire is inflated, but the wheelbarrow is still a chore to push, squirt some lubricant onto the wheel's axle and wipe off the excess.
Pruning Shears
To keep pruners in good condition throughout spring, only use them to cut branches. FELCO, a Swiss manufacturer of professional pruners and shearers, also recommends the following:
Chainsaws require the most maintenance of any seasonal tool, which means regular maintenance — either by a professional or yourself — is necessary to keep it in working condition. Master gardener Paul James, from HGTV's Gardening by the Yard, recommends the following each time you rev your saw:
Carefully follow your owner's manual for any specific maintenance needs and help keep the saw in shape by steering clear of rocks and other unforgiving materials.
Garden Hose
If you drained your hose and disconnected the valve fittings before the cold winter months, chances are your hose has survived potential freezing and cracking. Stretch it out in the sun to get it flexible and ready for its first car wash of the spring. Now is the time to invest in a garden reel if you don't have one already: Coiling your hose helps to prevent leaks and breakage.
Trowels and Shovels
Prep your hand tools for the spring planting season with these easy tune-ups:
While we can't tell you how to avoid annoying your neighbors — beyond waiting until the afternoon to start your dirty work — we can tell you how to prep your blower for the season. Grounds Maintenance magazine recommends checking the muffler, air intakes and air filters to make sure they're in proper condition. To minimize noise and maximize control, always operate the blower on the lowest speed necessary for the job.

Brick-and-mortar bookstores and the physical, printed books they sell may be (choose your verb -- challenged, endangered, threatened) by online vendors and ebooks. But if they are going down, they are not going down unloved and uncelebrated.

Fine overnighter
This was not our first stay at the Ibis and have learned from past visits to avoid the breakfast which in the past was tasteless and expensive for what it was.
We breakfast 400 yards doen the road where a full english is £2.99. Our room as in the past was clean and bright but the air conditioning had been left on and gave the room an unpleasant smell which disappeared quickly once the AC was turned off. My first night this tme was sleepless, the bed being quite had and the pillow lacking filling a second pillow solved this problem. Being hot weather we had the window open which meant we had to endure the local boy racers roaring around the car park until 04.30am whith what sounded like defective exhausts. The hotel staff obviously did nothing to have this stopped and as usual Hertfordshire's finest were nowhere to be seen. On this occassion the hotel was extremely busy with people coming and going at all times between 02.00 and 06.30 lits going up and down car doors slammed and cars being started. Had the weather been bad and windows closed the noise problem would have been greatly reduced. Later in the year might well have been better

We arrived after 10pm and found the room very comfortable with a power shower in the pod bathroom very good.
Ordinary, but clean and good value
Modern hotel, undistinguished 'boxy' style like many others, but clean and good value.
Room comfortable, especially beds, although nothing fancy in the way of style or furnishings. Football blaring out from TV over breakfast was irritating. Small car park at back; if full, adjacent large public car park, free for hotel guests. Reasonable overall, but more suitable for a short stay or stopover than a holiday stay.
