Oklahoma hits Bureau of Economic Analysis list as one of fastest growing economies in nation
Oklahoma's energy industry helped create one of the top five fastest growing statewide economies in the nation, according to federal figures released Wednesday.
With an increase of 4.17 percent, Oklahoma ranks fourth in GDP growth from 2012 to 2013, according to a report from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. The state trails only North Dakota, West Virginia and Wyoming. The country saw a growth of 1.9 percent.
"What these three states ... and Oklahoma have in common is that they rely heavily on the mining industry," said Mickey Hepner, University of Central Oklahoma's College of Business dean.
Mining, which includes oil and natural gas exploration and production, was Oklahoma's fastest growing industry in 2013, with an increase of 19.22 percent since 2012, according to Wednesday's release.
"Overall, it was a pretty good year for the energy industry, which is elevating the state," Hepner said.
Energy also provided indirect economic benefits to other industries, such as construction.
"It also has spillover effects. (Energy's role) is probably more significant than the BEA is reporting," he said.
The second highest growth rate went to the agriculture industry. It grew 17.7 percent from 2012 to 2013.
This growth could be attributed to cattle sales, said Chad Wilkerson, regional economist at the Federal Reserve's Oklahoma City branch.
"Cattle has done very well," he said. "Even though the drought has decreased the herds, the prices have gone up."
The retail industry is growing, which is most likely a product of improvements in the overall economy, Wilkerson said.
This is an important detail, said Robert Dauffenbach, director of the Center for Economic and Management Research at the University of Oklahoma. He studies employment in Oklahoma, with a focus on the Oklahoma City metro area.
"One of the things we aren't thinking about enough is retail and restaurants," he said.
When considering employment in the area, people usually give a nod to Continental, Boeing, Tinker and Devon. They deserve the credit, but not solely, he said.
"We're a diversified community," Dauffenbach said. "We're not just oil."
The same report detailed the GDP per capita, which is used to illustrate quality of life for individuals.
Oklahoma is also making improvements in these reports, Wilkerson said.
This year, Oklahoma was ranked 36th, up from 38th in 2012. Oklahoma passed Georgia and Tennessee. In 2000, Oklahoma was ranked 46th.
"It's still in the lower half, but it's better than it was 13 years ago," Wilkerson said.

STRATTON -- Delores Lorraine Priddy, 86, died Saturday (May 19, 2007) at the El Dorado Manor in Trenton.
She was born Jan. 5, 1921, near Wilcox, to Clarence and Goldie (Seybold) Jessen, and moved with her family to a farm northwest of Trenton in 1926. She attended country school near her home in District 52, and graduated from Trenton High School in 1938 before attending Kearney State Teacher's College.
After returning to the area, she taught school for six years. She worked summers at the Air Force base near McCook before moving back to the Kearney area where she worked as a caseworker for the Buffalo County Welfare Department.
On Feb. 24, 1946, she married David W. Priddy at the Methodist Church in Trenton.
For a short time the couple lived in Salina, Kan., before moving to a farm northwest of Trenton in 1947. In 1948 they moved to Stratton where she lived until 2005 when she became a resident of El Dorado Manor.
She wrote for the Trenton Register and the McCook Gazette for several years, and worked at the Hitchcock County Hospital for 17 years. She later worked at Dundy County Hospital for two more years before retiring. She was a 53 year member of the American Legion Auxiliary Post No. 281, and a 43 year member of the VFW. She was also a member of Community United Methodist Church in Stratton.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Goldie Jessen; sisters Darlene Baker, Betty Richards; brothers-in-law, Alfred Priddy, Leo Priddy; and sister-in-law, Alberta Hoyt.
Survivors include her husband, David Priddy of Stratton; daughters, Kay Hill and husband Larry of Lakewood, Colo., and Kathy Mallicoat and husband, Chuck of Golden, Colo.; son, Kenny Priddy and wife, Florence of Stratton; brothers-in-law, Wayne Richards of McCook and Bill Baker of Ogden, Utah; sisters-in-law, Jewell Priddy of Lindsborg, Kan., and Joy Priddy of Emporia, Kan; six grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be Wednesday, 10:30 a.m., at Community United Methodist Church with the Rev. Brian Fong officiating. Interment will follow services at Rose Hill Cemetery near Stratton.
Visitation is today, 5-7 p.m., at the church in Stratton.
Memorials may be given in her name to the Alzheimer's Association.
Forch Funeral Chapel of Stratton is in charge of arrangements.

Cunningham Park is one of the most widely used parks in Queens, where people can walk, jog and ride bicycles.
One of the paths in the park is the old Vanderbilt Motor Parkway, which has been upgraded with money obtained by Assemblyman Mark Weprin (D-Bayside). The western end of the path starts in Fresh Meadows at Peck (199th Street) and 67th avenues.
It heads south and crosses over 73rd Avenue on an original bridge. From there it turns east at 75th Avenue and crosses over Springfield Boulevard. The path is smooth, but the bridges have inclines.
The pathway meanders through woods and comes out just south of baseball fields south of 73rd Avenue. Farther east is a passageway under the Clearview Expressway, where there is a parking lot to the west of Hollis Court Boulevard. On weekdays it is used by commuters going to Manhattan. Here one can enter the Vanderbilt Motor Parkway and walk, jog or bicycle to Alley Park.
The whole area is picturesque and pleasant. At the western end of Cunningham Park there is a very nice circular track at the junction of Union Turnpike and 193rd Street. To the north and west are the homes of West Cunningham Park Civic Association members. No bicycles are permitted on this jogging track, which is fairly smooth and about a mile long.
Most of it has been recently paved through the efforts of previous park manager Jim Cafarro and with the help of the Department of Transportation, but there are a couple of cracked areas to the south and north that could be dangerous. There also is soil erosion on part of the path.
The civic is working to have these problems fixed. The West Cunningham Park Civic and the Friends of Cunningham Park work to renovate and improve the park. Many people volunteer their time in different ways.
One warning is that it can be so crowded, especially in the mornings, that one may have trouble jogging. Note that it is illegal to park along 193rd Street on weekends due to noise concerns, but there are three parking lots inside the park. Many users just walk to the park. That is what I do.
During a visit to the 114th Precinct Community Council in Astoria, Mayor Mike Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly stated that crime is down 14 percent from last year. This is good news; the only problem is that the mayor is using these statistics to say that the New York Police Department can do a good job with less resources if the police budget is cut next year.
We have to be careful that cutting the budget to police, schools and other municipal services doesnt lower our quality of life.
Crime statistics for the 107th Precinct show that as of March 2003, there were 363 acts of crime. During the same time frame last year, 435 crimes were reported. This is a reduction of 16.55 percent in the seven leading areas of murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny and grand larceny auto.
My only concern is that some people dont report crimes, so statistics dont really show what is going on.
I recently read that the New York City administration is considering swapping our airports for money and the Port Authority World Trade Center land. Previous mayors have talked about selling city property for needed money during fiscal hard times, but they never did.
Cash is needed, but if we sell the property we will lose it, unless a strong argument can be made that the city can profit from the Lower Manhattan land, thus compensating for the value of the airports.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Rewild Cruelty-Free Club
by Ajolote
Review: I don't know exactly how it works, but apparently the restaurant license is cheaper if you operate as a club instead of a restaurant, so as soon as you walk in you are asked to fill out a form and get a membership card. After that, the fun begins. The seitan here is some of the best I have tried (particularly the carpaccio) and it goes very well with a glass of house white. The bruschetta is really good, particularly the Harissa, which is a spicy tomato sauce on bread. They also sell T-shirts and vegan condoms.

IUD or Vasectomy
Remembered the penis. Forgot the boat. -shmoobaby
We were done having kids back in 2009 after I had my 2nd daughter. I went with the IUD (paragard) because I wasnt ready for anything permanant either. Finally in 2011, we decided that we were happy with the way things were and we didnt want more kids, so we sold ALL of our baby stuff. 2 months later I found out I was pregnant, even after having the paragard for almost 2 years. Sure we were done, but God decided we werent LOL!!! After I had our son in May last year, my hubby got a vasectomy.I suggest that if you are both 1000000000000% done, either tie your tubes or have hubby get the snip! BC is NEVER 100% effective!
I WAS 100% certain I was DONE! I never was on the fence or anything. But I got the IUD because we are still in our 30s so I didn't want to do something permanant yet. I thought I would give it 5 years and when the IUD came out make a decision then....well I changed my mind. I just had my IUD removed and I want another child.
I would get the IUD first and then when it is time to replace it do something more permanant.

If you know you are done, have your H get a V. My dh did and it was a quick recovery.

I hear there is an almost nurse on this board that can do a vasectomy for your husband at I'm sure a much lower cost than a doctor. She even has her own cauterizer. She's part of the Alpacas, she told us she did part of her husband's.

Mirena messed with me as well. It actually ended up implanting in my uterus. I don't recommend it either. I'd go the vasectomy route if you're sure you're done.

Mirena is hormonal. Have you considered Paragard? It's the copper IUD that doesn't contain hormones.
I've had both IUD's and I like the Mirena much more, but I don't have any trouble with hormonal birth control.
If your DH is willing and you are DONE DONE, get the V!

vasectomy. I knew I was done after our second child. I was not going through the pain of childbirth again. And the way I saw it I had already went through 9 months of pain twice, plus two labors. That was enough.
Plus my husband only saw it as fair if he was the one who had a vasectomy and not me getting my tubes tied. Having your tubes tied is a major surgery. A urologist can do a vasectomy in the office under local anasthetic. Much cheaper. We had insurance at the time and we only paid 30$ out of pocket for his vasectomy. insurance covered the rest. Our insurance at the time would not have covered me having my tubes tied. Plus their are a lot of risks having them tied.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Gold is expected to be affected by the nonfarm payrolls report on Friday, Mike McGlone, director of research for ETF Securities, told TheStreet's Joe Deaux Wednesday.While the Federal Reserve's FOMC meeting on Wednesday afternoon could potentially move the precious metals market, McGlone said that he doesn't expect the central bank to come across as the least bit hawkish. The Fed will likely try and keep things as calm as possible, while maintaining the status quo, he added.

Christianity.com: What is the best way to study the Bible?-Chris Brauns
Study The Bible as if reading "Letters" from "Witnesses". "Rightly Dividing The Word 0f Truth'. As "The Spirit 0f Truth" Reminds you of what Jesus Said.
This is an interesting perspective and it is close but...you are pouring your present "church" structure into the biblical text, including it seems the misunderstanding of the gift of pastor/teacher but speaking of an office that does not exist in scripture. Then you move to study in small groups to the exclusion of that pastor office (job). It is valuable and critical that we wrestle through scripture, learn proper hermeneutics and struggle with other believers. Since all believers are in the Church then any time we study with an believers were are studying in the Church. Current church structure, the big Sunday event, is the least efficient and almost entirely ineffective method of making disciples which is the primary goal of every member of the Church, the body of Christ.
I can see both sides of this. My own experience has been that independent Bible study is absolutely vital if someone is ever going to truly grow in their relationship with God. If I attend worship and take what is said there at face value without testing it for myself (1 Th 5:21), I don't believe that represents a truly personal walk with Him - you're just following another person's path (i.e., interpretation). On the other hand, as I grow in my relationship, I'm learning that a church "home" or community with other believers can be very helpful in developing that personal relationship. Spiritual discernment is key though - knowing what is 'of' the Lord and what is not isn't always unmistakable, especially for a 'young' believer such as myself. If you are or are in the process of becoming "churched", don't get comfortable - try to stay challenged and pray for discernment. At the end of the day though, it's you, the Lord and His word.
Go to a Bible-preaching church and stick to it. I never trust anyone who claim to be Christian and skip regular weekly attendance of church. A crooked, unteachable and theologically erroneous spirit. No exception.
A trend I am seeing is toward some mega-churches teaching such a general message to the congregation as a whole with basically no substance, apparently to bring people in..THey then use the small study groups for people to meet and do more intense Bible study..The challenge I see with this is that everyone in these smaller groups, many of whom have no past Bible knowledge, tend to say their "opinion" of what the scripture says to them, instead of learning what GOd's meaning of the scripture is. I find that the "foundation" of good Bible study needs to start in the Church where pastors who have formally studied every area of the Bible and Christianity can direct others to proper meanings, contexts, early cultures, etc. to have a good basis for then continuing to study on their own. Allowing scripture to interpret scripture is best compared to just deciding what sounds good to you..
It is good to study the bible for yourself then you can know the word, speak the word, and make sure the Pastor is telling you what thus says the lord. Yes the holy spirit will give you wisdom and understanding of God's word along with wisdom from the Pastor. But the word of God tells us to study to show ourselves approved unto God!
Thanks, but Ido just fine reading my king james bible. The HOLY SPIRIT is my teacher. By the way what I am saying is BIBLICAL.
I am glad you think the church is able to do this but the church I grew up in taught the bible great but it was only when I on my own studied that it became real. Your thoughts put man again under imperfect man instead of the holy spirit.

you saw Load balancing it might be hardware as F5 BigIP or four layer swith as LVS(Linux Virtual Server).
here we need two machine for that. one is Primary, the other is Secondary. the Primary and Secondary connect to each other by heartbeat. the heartbeat line you might choose serial port(ttyS0) or ethernet(eth1).
secondly, it is cache by reverse proxy. I thought that I needn't said it. we have a lot of node for cache.

we have two way for you.
one way, apache with mod_perl, two way is lighttpd with fastcgi. whichever ways is OK all.
also we have a lot of node for active cluster, and each node to synchronize to each other via csync software.
I used memcached in the between perl script and database.
the database is MySQL Cluster, also has a lot of node.
static cluster
has some data must be to generate html archive. I also using csync to synchronize to each other node.
multimedia cluster
I will all of multimedia put on else cluster.
and using DFS(Distributed Filesystem) by storage.
also has a lot of node for multimedia cluster.
welcome to discuss with me.

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

The taxation of foreign pensions in New Zealand is an issue that seems to be constantly coming to our attention, writes Craig Macalister in Taxing Times.
OPINION: We have previously discussed proposals put forward by the Government for changes to the way immigrants and returning New Zealanders' pensions are taxed, including lump-sum payments and transfers into New Zealand schemes. These proposals are still under consideration by Government. We have also discussed progress on the superannuation arrangement between New Zealand and Australia to allow superannuation savings in KiwiSaver and the Australian equivalent schemes to be transported across the Tasman.
However, on top of all of this, another issue has come to the fore that will give people in receipt of foreign pensions more immediate things to think about. While the pensions concerned are mainly employment-related or private (non-government) British pensions, pensions from many other jurisdictions are affected also. For the purposes of today's article, I will refer to British pensions to illustrate.
The nub of the issue relates to whether a tax credit can be claimed in New Zealand for tax paid in Britain.
Many people just naturally assume that you can claim a foreign tax credit for the British tax deducted against New Zealand tax payable on the foreign pension income. Indeed, so does Inland Revenue's call centre staff.
However, while it is not uncommon for Inland Revenue to have different views among different areas, the prevailing position within Inland Revenue is that you cannot claim a foreign tax credit for British tax paid on a non-government pension.
The issue is best explained by a simple scenario.
Maisie decides to immigrate to New Zealand to retire. She is in receipt of a pension from her former British employer, receiving about £18,000 a year, from which tax of about £3500 has been deducted and paid in Britain.
Each year, Maisie has returned the pension in New Zealand dollars in her New Zealand IR3 tax return and claimed a credit for the British tax paid. As above, Inland Revenue's view is that Maisie is not entitled to claim this tax credit.
The reason for Inland Revenue's view stems from the fact that the United Kingdom revenue authority, HM Revenue and Customs, signed away their rights to tax this income under the double tax agreement between New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
As I said, this is not limited to British pensions. Pensions from other countries could be affected also. However, for former residents of Britain living in New Zealand, this means that Britain should not be deducting tax from their pension.
Inland Revenue New Zealand has only just woken up to the fact that many people in receipt of British pensions have been incorrectly claiming foreign tax credits.
Here's the tricky bit. Inland Revenue wants the tax on the foreign pension income.
The good news is that Revenue and Customs will refund the foreign tax deducted from the pension. The bad news - other than all the paperwork that needs to be completed by people affected - is that there may be a tax shortfall in New Zealand. On the other hand, the tax refund from Britain could exceed any New Zealand tax shortfall - this depends on people's individual circumstances.
So what to do? Unfortunately, as Inland Revenue is in receipt of pension data from Revenue and Customs, doing nothing may eventually catch up. We are aware of some people who have had letters from Inland Revenue about this. My advice is to speak to a tax adviser about the options available. It may be that with a little tax advice some people may feel up to tackling this themselves. Certainly our firm is happy to give some pointers in this regard.
Finally, without wanting to be a doom merchant, I do note that this issue is raising its head with pensions from countries other than just Britain. Immigrants from other countries, such as South Africa and some European countries, who are in receipt of private (non-government) pensions may discover they too have a similar issue. Again, a tax adviser will be able to let people know if their foreign pension is affected.

Felipe Dana, File, Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO — The snuffing out of the Olympic flame in London Sunday marks a conclusion for most, but for 2016 host city Rio de Janeiro it kicks off four years of pre-games jitters and a race against the clock to ready this notoriously laid-back beach city for the global sports showcase.
Playing Olympic host is a high-stakes bet for any country, but Brazil seems to have more riding on the games than most. The nation has enjoyed an economic surge over the past decade, a boom that saw it overtake Britain as the world's sixth biggest economy. Brazilians regard the Olympics as their grand entrance onto the world stage — and their emergency as a superpower.
Still, observers say efficiency and punctuality have never been the country's strong suit, and many are bracing for a rocky ride as Rio rushes to build the city's four main Olympic sites and undertakes a massive, pre-games infrastructure overhaul. Rio is also one of 12 Brazilian cities gearing up to host the World Cup football tournament in 2014.
"On the ground, we can expect ... cost overruns and a rush to push through projects. Cariocas (Rio residents) will see their cost of living increase, their streets clogged and the branding of their public spaces," said Christopher Gaffney, an American academic who's a visiting professor at the graduate school of architecture and urban planning at the Fluminense Federal University in Rio's sister city, Niteroi. His research focuses on preparations for the World Cup and Olympics.
"While the Brazilians will undoubtedly pull together a great party, the hangover will last for a generation," Gaffney said.
More than 230 projects are slated to be finished by the 2016 games, with the sports venues scheduled for delivery between mid-2015 and early-2016 for test events, according to the International Olympic Committee. Of those, over 65 have already been completed or are in the final stages.
That leaves a high volume of projects to be carried out simultaneously over the next four years — a feat that even Rio 2016 organizers acknowledge is tricky.
"Time is an adversary but time is also on our side," Leonardo Gryner, CEO of the Rio 2016 organizing committee, told reporters at a news conference Friday in London. "We'll get a few cold sweats but this is normal. We are on time and going according to schedule."
Rio 2016 organizers see the games as a pivotal moment in the city's history that will turn the page on the decades of slow decline and neglect that followed the loss of the capital to Brasilia in 1960. Speaking at a recent news conference, Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes promised the event would leave an "enormous legacy."
City, state and local governments are investing nearly $12 billion in massive infrastructure projects they say will help revitalize derelict urban areas and ease the chronic transportation woes in this metropolis of 6 million. Beyond the sporting venues, Rio is slated to get a new metro line, a revamped airport, improved roads and a renovated port.
But many of the projects have been tainted by controversy, some even before ground was broken.
Amnesty International and the United Nations have called attention to allegations of human rights abuses in connection with the eviction of families living on land slated for Olympic and World Cup projects. Nationwide, some 170,000 people are facing threats to their housing, or already have been removed, in the 12 cities that will host World Cup matches, according to the Coalition of Popular Committees for the World Cup and the Olympics, an advocacy group for residents of the affected shantytowns.
Rio authorities insist the evictions have been carried out legally, but advocates counter that the city's compensation is grossly inadequate. In 2010, compensation averaged $16,000 per home — an amount advocates say falls far short of allowing those displaced to buy another home in Rio, one of the hottest property markets in the world.

Well, my problem with Hoenn is usually that I love 90% of the pokémon and find it hard to choose between them, but at the moment it's this:
#007 Mudkip
Tackle / Growl / Mud Slap
My starter, likely to be the main driving force behind the team, both in battle and out
#034 Shroomish
Absorb / Tackle / Stun Spore / Leech Seed
I have high hopes for this one. It won't be allowed to evolve until learns Spore, which is an incredible move. This will limit it somewhat, but I don't care, as I'm just playing with the pokémon I like, regardless of how much we're outclassed.
#025 Taillow
Wing Attack / Growl / Focus Energy / Quick Attack
A real glass cannon this. Once I get Facade and a reliable status move (sadly Toxic wouldn't do), it'll be godly in double battles, although even frailer than it already is.
#042 Nincada
Scratch / Harden / Leech Life / Cut
This was all I had available that could learn HM01 Cut when I was outside Rusturf Tunnel, which is why it's there. I may keep it and evolve it, but I highly doubt it.
#045 Whismur
Pound / Uproar
I've only just left Devon Corporation's headquarters, hence this is still in my team after I captured it
Because it's so godawfully noisy, but I needed it for my pokédex
because it's kinda cute. Guaranteed never to stray further from its home than Rustboro City.
So...that's my team. Nothing impressive, but I felt like posting it. After all, it's what the forums are for :)
