Bloomquist Gets Sixth Eldora Dream!
ROSSBURG, Ohio — Scott Bloomquist authored another vintage performance at Eldora Speedway to capture Saturday night's 100-lap Dirt Late Model Dream XIX Presented by Ferris Commercial Mowers.
Simultaneously ending a rare five-year absence from Victory Lane at Tony Stewart's famed high-banked, half-mile oval and busting out of an early-season slump, Bloomquist methodically marched forward to take the lead from Jimmy Mars on lap 65 and dominated the remainder of the distance. The 49-year-old easily handled two late-race restarts to claim the DIRTcar UMP-sanctioned event's $100,000 top prize for a record sixth time.
"It's been kind of a rough spring," said Bloomquist. "We've not had the wins that we are used to or accustomed to. We've had a lot of bad luck, just a lot of crazy things happening to us. It's been bad, but I told everybody (entering the Dream), 'This is gonna turn around. It's gonna turn around quick and big. We're gonna go win this hundred-grand. That will be the end of this bad luck streak.'
"Everybody was just kind of looking at me like, What are you doing? I said, 'Don't worry — we can do it.'"
Indeed he did – and in no-doubt-it fashion. No one was able to threaten Bloomquist once he completed his advance from the sixth starting spot to the lead in dirt Late Model racing's richest race.
Dennis Erb Jr. chased Bloomquist under the checkered flag, finishing 1.527 seconds back in second place. But Erb, who started 17th, didn't even crack the top five until lap 91 — and after vaulting from fifth to second on a restart that circuit, he spent the final circuits fighting to maintain the runner-up spot rather than attempting to challenge Bloomquist.
Brian Birkhofer, who won last September's World 100 at Eldora, placed third, Dale McDowell was fourth and 21st-starter Jimmy Owens took advantage of restarts on laps 91 and 98 to sneak up the rundown and complete the top five.
Josh Richards crossed the finish line in third place after climbing as high as second from the 28th starting spot, but the fast-time provisional starter was disqualified and placed last in the rundown when his Rocket Chassis house car weighed in 32 pounds below the 2,300-pound minimum at the post-race weigh-in. He attributed the inspection failure to his forgetting to bolt a lead weight to the car during his team's scramble to repair damage sustained in a heat-race tangle.
Bloomquist, who made his 17th career Dream A-Main start, pointed to Friday night's preliminary feature as a key to his convincing triumph. He started at the rear of the 25-lap race, using it as a test session to tune his self-built Team Zero machine.
"Racing ain't getting any easier," said Bloomquist, whose previous Dream victories came in 1995, 2002, '04, '06 and '08. "The competition is getting tougher. You gotta just never quit looking and searching.
"That's one thing that last night did for us — instead of getting out there and racing hard, I came in and I tried a couple of things. When the cautions came out I'd try something drastic just to give me some direction to go. We hardly ever get that (type of opportunity) here."
Once Bloomquist realized at the start of the Dream headliner that his car was working so well that he "could do no wrong with it," he settled into a familiar pattern. He demonstrated the patience that has brought him so much success at Eldora, watching from a comfortable distance as 17-year-old Tyler Reddick jumped off the pole position to lead laps 1-22 before breaking a driveshaft and then Mars inherited the top spot and set the pace.
"Early I let them get away from me," said Bloomquist, who ran fifth for much of the race's first half. "I just did not want to spin the tires. I knew I was running a fast enough pace not to get passed, so I just sat there, waiting, letting heat build in my tires, and trying not rip all the edges off by trying to go too fast to soon.
"That's definitely what made it feel like the old days (at Eldora). We used to do that a lot – just wait for the last 30 (laps), and everybody would already have all the edges gone (off their tires) and burnt their stuff up and then everybody would go, 'Where did he find a half-second?'
"Well, I just wasn't pushing yet," he added, "and I would have enough edges left to push it at the end."
Bloomquist passed Tim Fuller for third on lap 47 and Duane Chamberlain for second on lap 53. He then ran down Mars, who had inherited the lead when Reddick departed on lap 22, and sailed in front for good on lap 65.
Within 10 laps Bloomquist had built more than a straightaway lead. He stretched his edge to nearly a half-lap at one point and was still in front by over five seconds on lap 91 when a caution flag flew for Matt Miller, a preliminary feature winner on both Thursday and Friday whose late bid to run down Bloomquist ended five laps after he passed Mars for second place due to a broken driveshaft.

Approach to teaching students changed in four years
Friday, December 27, 2013
RUSSELLVILLE, Mo. — It took a school-wide commitment four years ago to implement the Professional Learning Communities model at every level.
A year ahead of schedule, they have exceeded their original goals.
But as their motto says, "Expecting Excellence" continues.
"We never want to be in a place of complacency," said Elementary Principal Karen Ponder. "We are still fine tuning and will keep pushing."
Five years ago, Cole County R-1 as a school district had the lowest possible rating on its school improvement plan. Students had low test scores overall and the only support programs in place were the special education classes, which did not work with classroom teachers, recalled Superintendent Jerry Hobbs.
"I was frustrated," Hobbs said. "I heard so much, 'This is how we've always done it.'"
The collective group wasn't looking at how to improve; they weren't asking questions or looking for alternatives when something wasn't working, he said.
The first step was contacting the Regional Professional Development Center (RPDC) on the University of Missouri campus. For the next three years, administrators were committed to the training and to trying some new things in their buildings.
"They were at a point where the staff was frustrated, and the leadership was changing," Ponder said.
The elementary school started with its math curriculum and then moved on to communication arts. High test scores were one of many successful results within just the first year.
They implemented the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's model for Response To Intervention, which analyzes why a student may not be learning. And grade level teachers have common planning times where they meet weekly to discuss student needs and issues.
"Right now, we're doing all the pieces," Ponder said. "The model is different for every building and staff."
"We stole a lot of things from the middle school," said high school principal Heath Waters.
The data in particular pointed to math, where students were doing well at the middle school level but then they weren't keeping up in high school, he said.
That led the high school math department to convert to the same curriculum used at the middle school.
"We're looking for our math scores to jump this year," Waters said.
Other programs which work with the pre-teen ages weren't as successful at the upper level.
Last year, they extended the middle school's "Zeroes Aren't Permitted" program.
When they saw it wasn't a good fit, the PLC format allowed for open communication and strategy.
This year, the high school made a drastic change to its grading structure and has added Homework Help sessions during the school day where students can meet one-on-one with teachers outside of class.
Each week, the PLC teams are talking about specific issues and individual student needs, as well as academics.
Even if it's just seeing an A student drop to B's, teachers are paying attention and then they discuss it in their PLCs.
"It's fun to watch," Waters said. "It's their work and sharing ideas."
Through the PLC process, the educators have tried new ideas and found it's OK when they don't work, too.
In the high school, they rearranged teacher locations to make more sense and better used some of their resources, like the home economics room, Waters said.
For academic recovery, they knew they didn't want a separate school setting. So they created an alternative classroom, where they later added the GradPoint program for further assistance.
Then, they added summer school.
And they added exploratory classes to the schedule to offer more elective choices — life skills, modern fiction, body conditioning, forensics, sports medicine, multimedia and ceramics.
"This was all because our staff was able to do their homework and show we had a need," Waters said. "It was a taste of using data for decision-making."
Creating the team concept through the PLC process allows for smaller peer groups to get to know each other's strengths and weaknesses to work better together.
The team members share the same goals and implement school-wide changes more consistently.
"We're proud of the staff and where we are right now," Waters said. "It's been such a change.
"So many things have happened in such a short amount of time."

The site is designed to resemble a high-tech, yet vintage machine. According to Williamson, a considerable amount of time was spent creating just the right sound design package to reflect the new-yet-old feel. Elements such as 1950s toggle switches and spaceship-esque pulses were manipulated and exported to meet the Flash programmer's needs.
Particularly challenging was the task of designing the sound for the transitional gear-box that plays between many of the Web site selections.
"To achieve a non-menacing, yet still manly feel, we used everything from bicycle gears and robot servos to dresser drawers," Williamson notes. "It never ceases to amaze me how well Foley sometimes works, and how it sometimes unexpectedly doesn't. For instance, the briefcase-style lock at the Web site's entrance portal features combination lock wheels for which we needed a sound effect for when you spin them. Of course, recording an actual combination lock seemed the perfect solution, but, no matter what microphone or EQ we used, it just didn't sound right. Ironically, the sound of the spinning of a revolver gun's cylinder provided just the base sound we were looking for. A little editing and EQ and voila! We had our briefcase lock"

Sand filling Abbey Harbor
Should village help solve problem?
October 13, 2011
FONTANA — When too much sand fills the Abbey Harbor, boats can't always exit the marina and some boaters are pulling their watercrafts off of Geneva Lake to dock them in Lake Michigan.
During the Oct. 3 Village Board meeting, representatives from the Abbey Harbor asked trustees about sharing costs, without asking for a specific figure, for a study to determine why sand is drifting into the marina and possible ways to stop it.
The assumption is that waves wash the sand off the village's beaches, the water then drags the sand into the harbor where it settles. In the past three years, the Abbey Marina had to dredge the harbor. Abbey Marina Harbor Master Eddie Snyder said the marina has removed 1,200 cubic yards of sand each year.
The Abbey Marina brought in John Wills, an engineer who specializes in water issues, to discuss the problem and said, if further studies are completed, he could present solutions to resolve the issue. Willis said the trick with finding a solution is creating one that fits within permitted uses. Snyder said the cost of the study is about $17,000.
"We want to develop a working relationship to remedy the issue," Snyder said.
Snyder said he hopes to develop a cost sharing agreement between the village, the marina and Country Club Estates.
Village President Arvid "Pete" Petersen said the municipality owns the bridge that is over the channel, but it's unclear whether the channel underneath the bridge is the village's responsibility.
The creek where sand clogs the marina is located between the Fontana Public Beach and the County Club Estates Beach, which is owned by the village. The village annually adds sand to each beach.
At a good time, Snyder said the depth of the channel is between six and seven feet. In June, Snyder said the harbor dredged the channel down to about six feet, but it is currently only between 3-1/2 to four feet deep.
Although board members expressed an interest in being good neighbors, they want more information before they agree to spend tax dollars.
Petersen said in the 1960s and 1970s the channel in the Abbey Harbor didn't have to be dredged on a regular basis. However, in recent years it has been needed.
Trustee Bill Gage said its only an assumption, and not a known fact, the sand is coming from the village's beaches. Gage also emphasized that he hasn't taken a strong stance on this issue, but feels there are questions that need to be answered before the village makes a decision.
"I think the thought is because the beach is there it's all the village's fault," Gage said. "We have to do a little more studying so we understand it. I don't think anyone knows definitively why its happening. It's the same beach, same harbor and same lake."
The Abbey Harbor isn't a natural feature to Geneva Lake. It is man-made.
Gage said because the harbor isn't a natural feature that raises more questions about whether the village should help fund a resolution to the sand issue.
The Abbey Marina was opened in 1963 and is the only protected marina on Lake Geneva, according to its website.
The marina has 407 moorings, the marina offers six transient slips for guest of the Abbey Resort. Each mooring has electrical, storage locker, wireless Internet access, water is located on all of the docks but not in each individual mooring.

How tough? Kind of like what Norm from Cheers said when entering the bar on one show: "it's a dog eat dog world, and I'm wearing milk-bone underwear."
The Sox have played or will play 108 games against legitimate contenders--roughly defined as anyone with a .500 or better record--this year, leaving 54 against lesser teams, some of whom, like the Giants, think they still have a shot.
The tough schedule is probably matched by one or more other teams because the simple fact is that MLB, except in the NL East and NL Central, has incredible balance this year, nowhere more apparent than in the AL East where the Sox play a huge chunk of their games and where everyone is at least average and definitely in the hunt--even Toronto.

- "The preferred method of transport for Liberty City high-fliers, the turbo shaft powered Swift shuttles its precious cargo in speed and comfort."
- ―Rockstar Games Official Website
The Swift is a two person shuttle-civilian helicopter featured in Grand Theft Auto IV's second episode, The Ballad of Gay Tony.
The official website of The Ballad of Gay Tony describes the Swift as "the preferred method of transport for Liberty City high-fliers", a "turbo-shaft powered" aircraft that "shuttles its precious cargo in speed and comfort"
The design of the helicopter is seemingly a cross between the AgustaWestland AW109 and the Bell 222/230. The general design is from the AgustaWestland; the helicopter borrows the Bell's engine scoop design and the design for the end of its tail; the additional turbo intakes and the winglets seem inspired from the fictional attack helicopter Airwolf, an advanced stealth helicopter (which also a modified Bell 222 for the 1984-1987 TV show of the same name).
- The Swift bears a "SANTO CAPRO" (roughly translates as "Holy Capro" in Spanish and Italian) livery with an emblem resembling a Sea Goat (Capricorn) and the year 1898. The same emblem can be seen on Yusuf Amir's tracksuit jacket that he wears. Combined with the fact that he owns the helicopter, and wears the jacket, Santo Capro might be a company that the Amir estate runs.
- When the blades of the Swift rip apart, they will turn black instead of white and before they rip apart, one blade will be of darker colour and will be twisted.
- The Swift can only hold two people, however in Blog This!..., Luis, Tony, and The Celebinator all ride in one.
- The Swift is available at the west Algonquin helipad near the West River during the beginning of the game to the end of the game. After the completion of the game, the Gold Buzzard will replace the Swift instead.
Obtaining after game's completion
- Swift with side doors closed
From the "Missions" menu on Luis' phone, choose the mission Caught with your Pants Down and meet Yusuf Amir at Star Junction. Get in his helicopter and fly to any GTA IV/TLAD/TBoGT safehouse and land the helicopter in the parking space. Immediately kill Amir and yourself. The mission will fail, spawning you at the hospital. The Swift will now be at that current safehouse for you to obtain.
You can also obtain the Swift with side doors closed by doing the club management mission featuring Bruce Spade. You can either complete the mission and keep the helicopter, or kill Bruce and fly away. Take it to any parking space to save. You can't, however, redo club missions after they are completed, so it's only available at one point.
- Swift with side doors open
From the "missions" menu on Luis's phone, select the mission ...Blog This! and meet Gay Tony at the helipad. Immediately kill Tony and then The Celebinator (killing The Celebinator first will fail the mission and Tony will fly away). The mission will fail and you will now have a Swift at your disposal. Save it at any parking space if you want to keep it.

One of my favourite facts about myself that I like to tell people is that the first 2 concerts I ever saw were, Seals & Crofts AND Seals & Crofts. First at the Yale Bowl (Anne Murray opened) & then about a year or less later at the New Haven Coliseum (Melissa Manchester opened that one). After the Coliseum show they invited folks to stick around for a discussion about their religion, Bahai. Me & my mom didn't stay. Oh yeah, my 3rd concert ever was the (pre-disco) Bee Gees. They were awesome.

text: Twitter creator Jack Dorsey returns to guide the flock Business 29 March 11 by Ryan Singel Helena Brown/Wired.com Jack Dorsey, the creator of Twitter, is returning to the lead the company's development of new products and features.Dorsey announced Monday, on Twitter of course, that he will take the title Executive Chairman and will lead product development. That role that was supposed to be filled by fellow co-founder Evan Williams when he stepped down as CEO and handed the reins to Dick Costolo, a Silicon Valley executive, in October.Though Dorsey was pushed out as CEO by Williams, he remained chairman of the Twitter board. Under the new arrangement, Costolo will continue running the company, but as executive chairman, Dorsey will now lead strategy and direction on the product, according to Twitter.The idea for a micro-publishing service was a fixation of Dorsey's for years, and it turned into a product after a brainstorming session at Odeo, a failing podcasting company founded by Ev Williams who had hired Dorsey as an engineer.Twitter declined to elaborate on how decisions will be made or how much time Dorsey will spend as Twitter, since he's still remaining CEO of Square, the mobile payment company he founded after being pushed out.Twitter papered over the internal differences in a statement:"Twitter's three co-founders -- Ev Williams, Biz Stone and Jack -- have unselfishly played whatever role was most needed at the time to nurture the company and help the product reach its full potential. Jack has been involved with the company from day one in various roles."As executive chairman, Jack will dive in to work with more than 450 people, led by an experienced executive team. The timing is fortuitous; not only is Twitter experiencing record growth, but we also now have a new infrastructure that will keep us ahead of that growth and enable us to launch products that will make Twitter more instant, simple and always present.In short, Dorsey is back, and from the looks of what he's built at Square, his growth as a manager has caught up with Twitter's. For an in-depth, but a bit hagiographic profile of Twitter, see this recent David Kirkpatrick story in Vanity Fair. Source: Wired.com Edited by Alice Vincent Latest on wired.co.uk

5 highlights from Mobile World Congress
Posted: 28th Feb 2013
Over in Barcelona, the annual Mobile World Congress (MWC) trade show is just wrapping up its week long presentation of all that's hot in the mobile world.
So is your next phone or tablet among the highlights?
1. Huawei Ascend P2
Chinese manufacturer Huawei is best known for its MiFi modems in the UK, which allow multiple users to share a 3G connection.
With its new Ascend P2, however, it's looking to take its wares upmarket, producing what it calls the fastest smartphone ever with a big 4.3inch screen. Lookout Samsung S3?
2. ASUS Padfone Infinity
The curious Padfone was originally unveiled by ASUS a year or so ago, but never really captured the imagination of consumers.
It's a high-end smartphone with a quad-core processor and a large high def screen that plugs into a 10-inch tablet – the tablet has a detachable keyboard when you're not holding it next to your head. The tablet provides a big screen workspace while the keyboard dock hides a battery powered charger.
The 'Infinity' has an excruciatingly high resolution 1920×1080 screen and is intended to be a single device for everything.
3. Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9
The curious ASUS Padfone Infinity
Not a phone, but Samsung's iPad mini rival stole the show in terms of sheer number of headlines written over the past week.
It's an Android powered slate which many pundits think is the only real alternative to Apple for the serious tech head.
Near field communication (NFC) is the low power radio device fitted to most new phones, which allows you to do things like securely log into access systems and make payments from your handset just by swiping it over a reader.
It's had a slow start as a technology, but a big push by Visa launched at the show could see it reach tipping point this year.
5. Samsung Galaxy S4
Not actually at the show, but its absence spoke as much as an official unveiling would have done.
The follow up to Samsung's astonishingly successful S3 is due to be released in mid-March, and at this stage it's still the phone that all the others are going to have to beat.

Members of the New Bern Housing Authority say they will work with the new members that Mayor Lee Bettis is appointing to the board.
The New Bern Sun Journal reported that the board said they appreciate Bettis dropped his lawsuit regarding inefficiency, neglect of duty and misconduct. After Bettis' appointments, the board will have nine members instead of five.
Just last week, Mayor Bettis said he was going to fire the entire housing authority, which is made up of volunteers.
Previous Story
New Bern's mayor says he plans to fire the city housing authority board after what he calls years of neglect of duty.
Mayor Lee Bettis says he's tried for months now to work with the housing authority to make changes. He says public housing in the city is unsafe, dirty and overcrowded, but he says the board is not willing to work with him so he's taking drastic measures.
Two weeks ago the mayor says he sent a letter to all the board members listing charges of inefficiency and neglect of duty by the board of commissioners of the housing authority. The letter says the board is only supposed to have five members and they've been operating with six, so they let one member go after receiving the letter. Bettis also says the board is supposed to provide safe housing at Craven Terrace and Trent Court, but says for years the board has neglected this duty. Bettis says, "They were suppose to create an environment that bred economic viability, that bred peace, that bred harmony, instead what we have is increasing crime, increasing drugs, we have increasing chances of gangs moving in over there"
In a written statement sent to us by the board's lawyer it says the mayor's accusations are false and they have called on Congressman Butterfield and Senator Kay Hagan to investigate the mayor's actions.
They have also called on Representative William Wainwright to begin the legislative process for removing the mayor from the board appointment process.
All the board members of the New Bern Housing Authority are volunteers.

There's nothing like a good shock to the stock market to make long-term investors refresh their commitment to quality holdings.
Monday's drop in the Dow Jones industrial average of nearly 2 percent – with corresponding declines in the Nasdaq composite index and S&P 500 stock index – represented the biggest one-day drop since November.
In the midst of the sell-off came a little noticed announcement from blue chip giant, Procter& Gamble. The maker of Tide detergent, Duracell batteries, Head & Shoulders shampoo, Gillette razors and several other billion-dollar brands, announced it was raising its quarterly dividend by 7 percent.
Of note in the announcement was a statement saying the increase marked 57 years in a row it has raised the payout to shareholders, a trend of increasing importance.
"Dividend yields remain relatively attractive compared to other investments such as corporate bonds, Treasurys and bank CDs, especially considering the new 'permanent' tax rate, which, while higher than last year, maintains preferential treatment for dividends," said Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices.
Silverblatt was referencing the uncertainty about the tax treatment of dividends leading up to the fiscal cliff. Since 2003, qualified dividends had been subject to a maximum tax rate of 15 percent. Had Congress not acted, dividend payments would have been taxed as ordinary income, for most people a much higher rate.
However, the Taxpayer Relief Act approved shortly after the first of the year, locked in the maximum tax rate on dividends at 20 percent.
At the end of the first quarter of 2013, the dividend yield on the S&P 500 was 2.61 percent, up slightly from the rate of 2.58 percent during the same period a year ago.
Currently 80 percent of the companies in the S&P 500 pay a dividend to shareholders. However, the payout ratio — the portion of earnings per share paid to investor as dividends — sits at the lowest rate since the mid-1930s. S&P calculates the current payout rate of 36 percent is well below the historic rate of 52 percent, suggesting there is plenty of room for more companies to increase their distributions to shareholders.
Like Procter & Gamble, companies that raise their dividends on a continuous basis have become a magnet for investors looking for income and growth.
"U.S. dividend growers are typically established blue-chip companies — companies with stable business models, strong balance sheets and management teams committed to shareholders — that have been able to grow their earnings in most market environments," cites a report from investment firm, Lord Abbett.
To be sure, the actions by the Federal Reserve to keep short-term interest rates near zero have made dividend-paying stocks especially attractive. Should the Fed change policy and let interest rates rise on other investments, perhaps creating competition for these companies. However, most observers believe such action by the Fed is well into the future.

CLEBURNE, Texas (AP) - A fourth earthquake prompted city officials to hire a geologist and then another earthquake happened about an hour before the emergency meeting.
The fifth earthquake took place Tuesday at 6:19 p.m. and the U.S. Geological Survey measured it at a 2.1-magnitude. Cleburne officials called for an 8 p.m. emergency meeting Tuesday after the fourth earthquake, measuring a 2.6, happened that same day at 5:10 p.m.
No damage or injuries have been reported from the tremors.
Mayor Ted Reynolds said residents want to know whether the earthquakes are connected to natural gas drilling in the town, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
The other earthquakes within the last week had magnitudes of 2.3, 2.6 and 2.8.

10-30-04- Bryan County voters will decide whether liquor can be sold by restaurants or clubs when they go to the polls on Tuesday. This comes twenty years after Oklahomans gave counties the option to sell liquor by the drink.
If the proposal is approved, Bryan County will become the 42nd county in Oklahoma to authorize liquor by the drink since voters statewide authorized in 1984.
The ballot issue is running into opposition in the county, where liquor by the drink has been rejected once before.
The county narrowly voted against it in 1985.
Opponents say their views are based on religious principles and public safety issues.
Darel Bunch, pastor of Durant's Calvary Baptist Church says someone who drinks one drink at dinner could wreck their vehicle and harm someone.

text: I was wondering about the hospital sign on the rooftop, I think it says 'No Help', it looks like there was an accident or something like that. I was thinking it would be explained, I thought it could be Molly and then I thought it could have been the Radioman surviving. I guess it is probably just a sign with no meaning to it other than showing that people were surviving in Savannah for a while, but maybe it could be something to do with Season 2 and a new group or survivors? Just a thought.

O*NET, the Occupational Information Network, is a comprehensive database of worker attributes and job characteristics. As the replacement for the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT), O*NET is the nation's primary source of occupational information.
O*NET is being developed as a timely, easy-to-use resource that supports public and private sector efforts to identify and develop the skills of the American workforce. It provides a common language for defining and describing occupations. Its flexible design also captures rapidly changing job requirements. In addition, O*NET moves occupational information into the technological age.
As the basis for enhanced product development, the O*NET database can serve as the engine that drives value-added applications designed around core information. It provides the essential foundation for facilitating career counseling, education, employment, and training activities. The database contains information about knowledges, skills, abilities (KSAs), interests, general work activities (GWAs), and work context. O*NET data and structure will also link related occupational, educational, and labor market information databases to the system.
O*NET is being developed under sponsorship of the US Department of Labor/Employment and Training Administration (USDOL/ETA). The National O*NET Consortium was organized to accomplish the development of O*NET and its related products for ETA. O*NET continues to be developed through a grant to the North Carolina Employment Security Commission which operates the National Center for O*NET development.
The National Center for O*NET Development (Center) provides core staff with acknowledged expertise in the areas of occupational analysis and assessment research and development. Under the direction of USDOL/ETA, and in its leadership role, the Center manages projects and contracts and provides technical support and customer service to O*NET users.
The Center leads a partnership of public and private-sector organizations that carry out the work of USDOL/ETA's O*NET project. In addition to the Center, the partnership currently includes RTI International (RTI), the Human Resources Research Organization (HumRRO), North Carolina State University (NCSU), MCNC, and Maher & Maher.

Why Some People Prefer A Guest House Over A Hotel?
The concept of a Guest House is that of a house with many rooms where the customer gets a key to enter his/her room but there is no supervision of permanent staff as a hotel, with some personnel in charge of overseeing everything.
In many guest houses, sometimes you need to consult with the administration before arriving to confirm booking. The format is ideal for students or travelers who want to be in a quieter environment. They are generally quieter than the environment of a hotel. Typically, the owners usually do not live in the same building as the guest accommodation.
In a guest house, guests usually stay a little longer than in a hotel. The accommodation of a guest house is usually larger than a bed and breakfast environment, which is like a family home that does not accommodate many guests at once by the enclosed space.
In many parts of the world, a hotel is the perfect choice for backpackers for its atmosphere. In fact, young people prefer them. A guest house is very common in countries like South Africa, for example, guest houses are usually quite large and they also have a specific classification system. And in areas like Southeast Asia, they are formatted family homes with rooms to rent and are fairly common.
It is likely, that the boundaries between one type of housing is not as clear in many destinations as there. Nonetheless, it is certainly one of the accommodation options to consider during a trip, it is perhaps for people looking for cheaper accommodation than hotels.

A recessions a coming this summer and high oil prices are not going away since the falling dollar is to blame, and continued inflation is not going to bring the value of the dollar up any time soon. Burnanke was not helping this country by bailing out the crust of American society. Also, Bush's stimulus package didn't help the upward inflationary pressure that is killing this countries middle class.

text: Paddles - Unregistered June 04, 2012 6:41 AM What is most interesting about BS's lunge that sent him off is the fact that he did it at all. BS's problems last season were all centred around poor starts followed by a shocking first few laps then he gets his krap together and rides like a demon towards the front. He never did anything too crazy or competitive at the start of a race and here he decides to make a wild go, good on him i reckon, he needs to get some aggression into him for the first few corners. If you take JL and DP (who rode like they were possesed) out of the results, the rest of the prototype field was not spread out too far, except for Karel Abraham, surely he's got to give it away soon or maybe look at a CRT machine.

This holiday far exceeded all my expectations. The Golden Avenida is a family friendly aparthotel with excellentfacilities and friendly staff. The rooms were a little basic, but the 2 bedroom apartment was spacious enough for our family of 5. The kitchen was well equipped with all we needed. Rooms were cleaned daily. The hotel staff were helpful & knowledgeable whenever we had a question. The entertainment staff were highly enthusiastic & very friendly, there were daytime & night time activities suitable for parents & children. Baby facilites vere very good, my son loved playing in the soft play room. The pool was lovely & was enjoyed by all the family, make the most of the indoor pool & the lovely warm jacuzzi! We decided to upgrade to half board, food was very good & tyhe buffet breakfast & dinner meant there was something for everyone. At 12 euros a day each, we found this excellent value for money!
The beautiful beaches of Salou were less than a 10 minute walk away. sunbeds & parosols were very expensive to rent, it was cheaper to by a parasol in one of the local giftshops.
All the family enjoyed portaventura themepark. Tickets are expensive, but we found the best deal was booked through Thompson reps, as they only charged 5 euros to return for a second visit. Aquopolis was a good day out, but the tickets were expensive & we found it hard to make a full day of it.
I would most certainly visit this hotel again & would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a lovely family holiday!
myself and my husband booked this holiday at the last minute , not expecting much as it was a cheap deal . we were suprised at what we got . this hotel is a fab place to stay if you want a quiet holiday or if you have a family ,kids clubs are great for the young ones . we got everything we asked for . the food is very good and it doesnt cost a packet either .we were self catering but had the option to go half board if we wanted and you can pay halfboard from day to day if you wish which we did it was only 12 euros each per day which is value for money as there is a lot of different food to choose from .(the deserts r to die for ) we had a fab holiday thanx thomsons .
Just returned from Golden Avenida, Salou apartments very spacious with large balcony's. We went half board but you could upgrade to all inclusive if wanted. The hotel was very central only 5/10 minutes walk to beach and main shopping area. Food in hotel very good especially desserts. Happy hour in bar between 8pm and 9pm, but drink prices quite good compared to some of the bars in resort. With the exchange rate not being too good it was worth going half board as some of the restaurants were quite pricey. Overall a good relaxing holiday for my husband and myself.
i loved staying here will come back has good kid entertainment and live entertainment every night, staff really friendly and the holiday reps are to they really love to help if you need it the kids love them all i will definitely come back next year thanks Thomson
stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks in may with my husband and 6 year old son and had a great time. only flaw about the hotel was the outside pool which was cold but the indoor pool made up for that. the food, hotel staff and the thomson staff in particular were brilliant, the kids reps were fantastic as was the entertainment during the day and night. hotel is in a great location very central and close to the beach. have already booked for another 2 weeks this may and we cant wait!

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick isn't ready to give his impressions of Tim Tebow after one practice.
Belichick says he's not getting into a "minute-by-minute" evaluation of his new backup quarterback. Tebow practiced for the first time with the Patriots on Tuesday after signing with the team. The Patriots are holding their three-day minicamp that runs through Thursday.
Belichick said Wednesday he doesn't think it's a good idea to evaluate players on a couple of plays, especially at this time of year. The Patriots plan to start their training camp in late July. He says he'll wait until he and his staff have more information before evaluating players.
He also says any time a player is on the field for the first day it's a learning experience.

Rijsttafel Ramblings
5554 34th Ave. S., Minneapolis
Rasa Sayang
2480 Winnetka Ave. N., Golden Valley
Dear Dara,
Six years ago I took a trip to Amsterdam and had an amazing meal at an Indonesian restaurant. I had what is called a rijsttafel, which consisted of 20 tapas-sized dishes that had various Chinese, Indian, and Southeast Asian-influenced foods in them. All in all, this meal was a dream come true for any fan of Eastern cuisine. By eating Indonesian you are essentially eating from the melting wok of the East. I was in heaven!
Since that wonderful trip I haven't forgotten about my food adventure and have been in search of an Indonesian restaurant in the Twin Cities. Though I have found plenty of amazing Indian restaurants, Chinese restaurants, and Vietnamese restaurants, I have yet to find an Indonesian place where I can go and have it all. So I ask you, does the Twin Cities have any Indonesian restaurants that you know of? And if no, why not?
Lisa in St. Paul
Dear Lisa,
Six years is a long time for an itch you can't scratch--you have my deepest sympathies. But you know what? You are not alone in your longings. I get a looking-for-rijsttafel letter like yours about once a month. Sadly, we have no strictly Indonesian rijsttafel places in town--the closest self-described Indonesian restaurant is in Madison, Wisconsin, the Bandung Restaurant. I've never been, but I have read a lot of reviews of the place in Wisconsin papers, and it sounds pretty good. They seem to offer a rijsttafel about once a month, and appear to be an average $10-a-plate Indonesian restaurant otherwise. Check their website for details: www.bandungrestaurant.com.
More interesting, of course, is your question of why. Why no Minnesota rijsttafel? I get a fair amount of letters that run: Why don't we have this northern Chinese restaurant like they have in Seattle, why don't we have poorboys like they have in New Orleans--the implication being "If we were sophisticated enough, we would have these things." But actually, in all but the super-rarified air of high-level chef-driven restaurants, food really just tends to trail people, like the wake of a boat and, like the wake of a boat, it tends to take the colors of whatever ocean it's in. If you don't have the people--Indonesians, native Creoles, whoever--you simply don't get the food.
Further, did you know that rijsttafel isn't really Indonesian but is in fact an Indonesian-Dutch hybrid, one that sprung up after scads of Indonesians immigrated to the Netherlands in the 1970s, the Netherlands having been the dominant colonial power over most of the Indonesian archipelago for some 350 years? And so, the Dutch traditions of smorgasbord and big dinners met a lot of Indonesian restaurateurs trying to make them happy, and rijsttafel was born. (See the cream-cheese wonton for a Minnesota analog.) These days you can get rijsttafel in Indonesia, but it's basically a reverse-import, like California rolls in Japan. And so the short answer as to why we don't have rijsttafel is: We don't have scads of Indonesians around, trying to fit into our Dutch lifestyle.
But you know what we do have? A pair of Malaysian restaurants very eager to make you happy. And what do Malaysia and Indonesia have in common? Plenty! In fact, Malaysia and Indonesia are about as close as Minneapolis and St. Paul, which is to say, in parts they are touching on land, in parts they are separated by water, and in parts they are wrapped around a foreign sovereign nation with a distinct culture, which in their case is Singapore, and in ours--Uptown? Could be. Which is also to say that as it is with Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Uptown, it is somewhat with Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore: The differences between the three are, to insiders, obvious and legion, but to outsiders, the similarities seem more important. Similarities like a largely ethnic-Chinese population with significant Indian and native Malay minorities, similarities like plenty of influence from the old Nations of Empire, especially Great Britain, but also the Netherlands and Portugal. And thus concludes the geography and history part of today's column, so y'all can wake up. For our local eating-out purposes, the main thing to remember is that all over Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia you have that "melting wok" you referred to, where Indian curries, Chinese technique (and noodles!), and local tropical ingredients like fruit and crab have all come together.
So can you get a rough analog to that melting wok of rijsttafel you loved so much in Amsterdam here in the Twin Cities? Boy howdy, can you ever!
I've written about Singapore! before, but got a chance last week to drop in on the most brightly lighted, can-do restaurant in the south metro. As usual I had some marvelous dishes. This time I was particularly struck by how adept chef Kin Lee is with his curries. I had a brisk and bright vegetarian one ($8.95) and the "rendang daging berempah" ($12.95), a beef curry built on coconut milk, with a dusky, sweet-jungle undercurrent. The thing about these curries is, they are so utterly complex, and so beautifully different--the vegetable one fiercely sunny and herbal, like a bleachy summer day in July, the beef coconut one full of smoky and hard-to-pin-down bottom notes like an aged whiskey. Every time I eat at Singapore! I feel I have heard songs that can only be made on one single instrument, and I think that instrument is chef Kin Lee's cooking. Of course, I do have a complaint: I went there to get the "roti prata" ($6.95), an appetizer-to-share that I count as one of the most memorable dishes in town, in which a dinner-plate-sized fried disc of glassy bread is cut into wedges to dip into a thick, rich vegetable curry, which cloaks the bread with a thick, gravylike sauce that tastes like jungles sound, full of life and thrilling.
But did they have any roti prata? No. Why? Because you ate it all. You did. And by the time I got there, they were all out. So I got to order a beer (thanks to their new beer and wine license) and brood over this dire situation. I ask you: Is this fair? I tell you about the hidden gems, and you go there and gobble up all the treats while I'm just stuck at home, walking in circles, looking for my car keys? It's enough to drive a girl insane. Or, at least to Golden Valley.
Which is exactly where you'll find the Twin Cities' other Malaysian restaurant, Rasa Sayang. Now, this unassuming spot up in the northernmost reaches of Golden Valley should be of particular interest to anyone living in north Minneapolis, Plymouth, Crystal, Robbinsdale, or New Hope. Until recently the little spot was a Chinese restaurant, but a new Malaysian cook has brought in a new level of cooking. The roti here, "roti canai" ($3.50), is a small, rich, translucent-fried pancake served with a potent, sweet, and turmeric-laced curry sauce for dipping--with the intense, fried roti and thin, concentrated curry, it's almost like a roti fritter with dipping sauce, less like French fries and gravy than tempura and dunking broth. The Nasi Lemak ($8.95) is the best thing I've had at this sleepy restaurant, which serves beer and wine. Order it and you get what could be called a mini-rijsttafel--a rectangular platter with six mounds of snacks: delicious potato-chicken curry, a little salad of spicy pickles and ground peanuts, a tomato-onion-anchovy relish, sliced cucumbers, sections of hard-cooked egg, and finally a delicious sweet-coconut-milk-infused rice. The gado-gado I tried was lovely too, a deep-fried tofu and shrimp cake on a bed of shredded cucumber and jicama, with a glossy peanut sauce cloaking everything. So there! Now you're up to seven courses, and if that isn't enough of a rijsttafel for you, you'll have to spring for a trip to Madison, or Amsterdam.
Finally, I had hoped to end this column with a little rallying cry for Harry Singh's. Why on earth would I do that? Because Singh hails from Trinidad, and Trinidadian cuisine has many parallels with the big-picture influences found in the cuisine we've been discussing. Like what? Like it's a tropical island where natives, Chinese, and Indians have evolved a totally new cuisine based on elements of their homeland as expressed through local ingredients--though, in this case, with significant African contributions.
And personally, I think a one-to-one comparison between the roti prata at Singapore, and roti canai at Rasa Sayang, and one of the curry rotis from Harry Singh's is about as brainy--and delicious--an intellectual exercise as is possible in this town, since all three dishes evolved from the simple peasant bread "roti" as made in homes throughout India, but the ones at Singapore! and Rasa Sayang are translucent pancakes that are as unlike bread as corn fritters are unlike corn, and the big, fluffy, pillowy discs at Harry Singh's are unique in another way, wrapped around a silky filling of that staple African protein, pigeon peas.
But alas, alack, you can't go to Harry Singh's to try them out, because by the time this hits the streets, Harry's latest restaurant in Uptown will have closed, yet again. Yet again. Is this how farmers feel about a hailstorm? Every few years, whether you want it or not?
The good news is, he's not closing for good, but simply relocating into the sweet heat of Eat Street--I can't say where yet, but suffice it to say that somewhere between Quang and 24th Street, sometime this fall, we are going to see another showcase for Harry's beloved Trini cuisine. Until then, please know that the former Uptown spot is going to be home to the second Burrito Loco, a locally grown burrito spot brought to you by young brothers Greg and John Pillsbury, who are no relation to those Pillsburys, and that is why they have to hustle their butts off, and so they promise to be open till three o'clock in the morning, every morning! And they say they will deliver to you, till three. So all you Burgundy-swilling, hydroponic-profligate Lake Calhoun gold-coasters can stop driving your Range Rovers into your Explorers during late-night Lunds runs, because finally, finally someone besides Pizza Lucé is volunteering to bring your snacks to you. Snacks like both the regular sorts of burritos and the new sorts of bar-fusion hybrids, like buffalo-chicken burritos.
And now I ask you: If we have these old European Empire-created melting woks here, today, in 2003, scattered around the Twin Cities, a northern mill town about as far from the Sun Not Setting on the British Empire as you can get in both time and space, well, I ask you this: Have you written your will yet?
Because I would really appreciate it if you could write in some kind of stipulation whereby your great-great-great-grandchildren contact me by Ouija board, because I have this sneaking suspicion that what we will have is Burrito Loco's buffalo-chicken, as a roti-sushi-cube on Base Station 9 over the Krylon Sea. I mean, when you look at everything you know about people and everything you know about these various curry rotis in the Twin Cities, don't you just know that the future holds nothing but melting woks in space?

LOUDON, N.H. - It's a market the IZOD IndyCar Series wants desperately to be successful in.
The question left to be answered though is whether or not New England is a market that wants them.
Thirteen years after major open wheel formula style racing failed miserably at the 1.0580-mile New Hampshire Motor Speedway, the IndyCar Series returns to the track Sunday for the running of the MoveThatBlock.com 225.
"We need to be here," series veteran driver Ryan Hunter-Reay said. "Hopefully we'll have a good attendance here on Sunday that makes it worthwhile coming back. Hopefully this can be a future event for us that we come back to year after year. We'd all certainly like that. I think the short ovals are good for racing. They seem to be really hard to pass on in practice and then once you get out there in the race then you have guys falling off and it really comes alive. So it would be fun to come back here year after year."
It's a far different era for the IndyCar Series in comparison to where the division was for its last race at NHMS in 1998. The series, then known as the Indy Racing League, was in its infancy. NHMS was one of the charter members on the IRL schedule when the series began racing in 1996. The creation of the IRL by former Indianapolis Motor Speedway CEO Tony George split major open wheel racing into two rival sanctioning bodies in North America, pitting the new division up against CART ChampCar, the body had previously overseen the top level of Formula style racing in the US.
George's intent was to create a lower cost alternative to CART that focused on oval track racing and developing American open wheel drivers. The split left open wheel racing injured at just about the same time that NASCAR was meteorically rocketing into becoming the most popular form of motorsports in the US.
Reunification arrived for the IndyCar Series and ChampCar in 2008, but by then major open wheel racing had fallen to being a relative blip on the sporting landscape in comparison to NASCAR.
The IndyCar Series continues to try to repair the damage left by the split.
In comparison, individual ratings for NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events this year have ranged anywhere from 2.9 to 8.2, with most events falling in the 4.0 to 5.0 range.
"The difference between the IRL and IndyCar today is then it was IRL and ChampCar with the split and fans didn't know what they were seeing or if they were seeing the best and American's are very fickle about that," IndyCar Series CEO Randy Bernard said. "If they're not watching the best then they don't want to go. ... What you have here is the best drivers in the world back together."
Sunday's event at New Hampshire marks the 12th of 17 events on the 2011 schedule. ABC will broadcast five events this year, including the Indianapolis 500, and the other 12 are carried on the cable network Versus. Outside of the Indy 500, TV ratings remain low and relatively stagnant. In 2008 ABC's broadcast of events earned a 1.0 rating, with ESPN earning a .6. In 2009 events on ABC earned a .83 rating with Versus events getting a .33 rating. In 2010 the ABC number was .8 and Versus .39. Through 11 events this year ABC coverage has earned a 1.01. rating and Versus a .35.
Bernard replaced George as the CEO of IndyCar before the start of the 2010 season, after 15 years of serving in the same role with the Professional Bull Riders.
"My biggest challenge was not knowing the sport of racing and coming in basically blind," Bernard said. "I didn't have any background in it. I've had to take a crash course on learning it. I think that it's been good and bad. My biggest negative attribute has been not knowing racing, but my most positive attribute has been not brining baggage in With that big divorce you were either IRL or ChampCar, I was neither and that helps.
"I think that has allowed me to come in and make some overall decisions from the look of what mainstream might want. It's very important to us to remember that this sport can't be about the engineers of the sport or about the technical side. It has to be on what's going to relate to the fan base and the mainstream. It can't be strictly for the purists, it has to be for the people overall if you're really going to grow this sport."
Said Hunter-Reay: "He wants to hear everybody's opinion. He listens to the fans. It's a really open atmosphere. That's great. Obviously you don't turn a massive ship around overnight, but we're headed in the right direction. It's a good time to be part of IndyCar."
The IndyCar Series raced three times at NHMS from 1996-98, attracting crowds of about 7,000 people for the last two events in Loudon. In comparison, the track brings in about 100,000 fans for NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events.
After Speedway Motorsports Inc. purchased the track from the Bob Bahre in 2008, new general manager and executive vice president Jerry Gappens set forth immediately at getting the IndyCar Series back to Loudon. The track hosts two Sprint Cup Series events annually, in July and September.
"It's long overdue," longtime IndyCar television analyst Jack Arute Jr. said. "It failed, but the failure was because it wasn't marketed correctly and there was still a "them and us" mentality with the split. I have the utmost respect for the Bahre family, but I think when you come under that umbrella of Speedway Motorsports, you've got a better grasp of what it takes to promote. Jerry Gappens knows how to promote it. I think he sees the value of it. I don't think the fans will embrace it initially. That goes back yet again, to be quite frank, there's a lot of work left to be done on the IZOD IndyCar side of things."
Gappens said the goal is to have 35,000 in attendance for Sunday's race.
"I thought that was a realistic goal," Gappens said. "In the back of my mind I was hoping that we could get to [50,000], but I thought [35,000] was a good number based on what you see realistically at out tracks."
Gappens said Friday that about 25,000 tickets have been sold or distributed for Sunday. The crowd today will go far in shaping the decision of whether or not the series will be brought back in 2012.
"We're basically introducing a new product to New England race fans again because it had been gone for so many years and so many things have changed, it's kind of like reintroducing a product," Gappens said. "I think they've got a good product, their on track product is pretty good, it just hasn't been exposed and marketed to enough people yet. You look at it like a product launch, you know you're going to have to put some money into it and it might take a while to make it go, but at the same time we are a publicly traded company and we're in business to make money at any event we do, we need to be profitable with that."
Series veteran Danica Patrick said a key to making the series work at NHMS is building up all the surrounds the racing. That's a factor that NASCAR has seemingly perfected in making their events days long festivals at tracks.
"The only way you're going to keep people coming back is if the show is really good and if people really enjoy watching the racing and if coming to these races, if it becomes kind of a culture thing," Patrick said. "There has to be something other than just seeing us go round that makes people come back for more. It's got to be something people gather for more reason than just watching us go round, whether it's tailgating or a concert or whatever could make people come back, it's got to be fun all weekend."
Said driver Ryan Briscoe: "A lot of the work has to come from promoting and not what we do on Sunday. We know we have a good package here. It's the best racing and we put on a good show, but unfortunately, to get the fans into it, we need to promote. We'll go out and do our job. Whether it works or not probably isn't entirely up to us."
