GOP Pounces on Obama's Mosque Remarks
By Siobhan Gorman and Victoria McGrane
Republicans on Sunday seized on President Barack Obama's weekend comments on the controversy over building a mosque near Ground Zero, folding it into their election-year narrative that Washington is out of touch with the rest of the country.
"The administration, and the president himself, seems to be disconnected from the mainstream of America," Sen. John Cornyn (R., Texas) said on Fox News Sunday.
To the extent that the president's comments show he's not listening to Americans, it will become an election issue, said Cornyn, who also heads the Republicans' campaign committee in the Senate.
A debate in New York City has heated up in recent days over whether an Islamic mosque and community center should be built as planned two blocks from where the World Trade Center towers fell in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
At a dinner Friday celebrating the start of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Obama said Muslims have a right, as a matter of religious freedom, to build a religious center near Ground Zero in accordance with local laws. "Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country," he said to applause. "That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in Lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable."
On Saturday, the president revised those comments, saying that he wasn't weighing in on where the mosque project should be built but on the principle of religious freedom.
"I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there," he told reporters during a visit to the Gulf Coast. "I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding. That's what our country is about."
Later on Saturday, White House spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement that the president wasn't backtracking. "Just to be clear, the president is not backing off in any way from the comments he made last night," he said. "It is not his role as president to pass judgment on every local project. But it is his responsibility to stand up for the constitutional principle of religious freedom and equal treatment for all Americans."
Democrats on Sunday echoed the president's position, saying the decision about how to handle this specific project near Ground Zero should be made by local officials but it was important to advocate for religious tolerance.
"Religious tolerance is what makes this country different than a lot of countries," said Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island. Also appearing on Fox News Sunday, Reed said the debate over the site was intensified because there's been little progress on rebuilding the Ground Zero site, itself.
Reed said that while this issue may be one that has dominated the political debate at the moment, the most important election-year issue remains the economy.
The issue also came up on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.) said it was wrong to blame an entire religion for what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, which is what is motivating many of the mosque's critics. "The fallacy is that al Qaeda attacked us. Islam did not attack us."
"The attack was carried out in the name of Islam," said Rep. Peter King (R., N.Y.), who criticized the leader of the controversial mosque for saying the U.S. was a "an accessory to 9/11" and refused to denounce Hamas as a terrorist organization. "It does open the wounds."
But King said that while he doesn't support the mosque being built near Ground Zero he also thinks it's wrong for government at any level to block it.

Rihanna might be a slaying couture alongside pal A$AP Rocky in his "Fashion Killa" music video , but she's killing the style game in the real world as well.
Between her latest collection for River Island and the upcoming season of "Styled To Rock" (the first in the U.S.), it's clear that Rihanna is all about clothes.
The singer will be taking her love for fashion to the small screen as producer and fashion star on November 5 (a network has yet to be announced). For the series, she will be joined by hitmaker Pharrell Williams, supermodel Erin Wasson and her own stylist, Mel Ottenberg.
MTV News caught up with the designer/singer/TV personality's co-star, Wasson, who broke down what it was like to shoot the series with the glamazon. "She's incredible; she's Rihanna. You know what I mean?" she said. "She brings a spirit to the show; an authenticity to the show that I think is what is going to make a difference from everything else."
She added, "I'm just bringing a little bit of Texas truth. I've been in the fashion industry for 15 years, but I also like to keep it real and so a lot of it is tough love and a lot of it is I'm just guiding these kids through the whole journey."
The show gives 12 wannabe designers a shot at fashion stardom, a slot on Rihanna's design team, a cash prize of $100,000 and a spread in Glamour magazine. And Wasson explained what makes the U.S. version different from the U.K. one, which aired last year across the pond.
"It's slightly more relevant; the people that we have onboard and who are guest celebrities are wonderful," she said. "And each challenge brings more challenges. It's about authenticity and execution and I think the combination of that is really what we're about. We're about finding real talent that's leaders, not sheeps."

Secrets of Success
Success is detrimental to my continued success! Huh?
Wednesday, October 09, 2013
Please throw me a line I am having a tough time getting myself and the scale under control.
I have identified that success is detrimental to my �continued success.� This week someone posted that when they have success, they struggle to succeed again. This may sound crazy to some, but makes perfect sense to me. Last round I was successful at losing�it was happening regularly for me and then at the end I had that large loss�success was happening. But over the break I got cocky and lo and behold had a gain. Now, it seems to be more than just cockiness. I seem to be sabotaging myself. Has anyone ever felt this way? If so, how in the world did you straighten it out?
Maybe if someone took my oar and wacked me over the top of my head�.nah, that probably wouldn�t do anything but raise a lump.
Truthfully, I am extremely frustrated right now. If you look at my fitness minutes and mileage, I�m kicking it, but the scale is just staring at me�.mocking me�.and not moving like it should be because I�m not eating high octane fuel�ARGH.

Sounds like a plateau. Try doing something very different...new foods, different exercise and try intervals, that always gets me off a plateau. I agree with what someone here said, maybe you were feeling that you met your last challenge so you feel you are done. Give yourself another challenge. You can do it, don't give up now!

Maybe it's not cockiness, maybe it's just that you had such success that you were happy and satisfied where you were for a bit, even if it's not your ultimate goal. Sometimes we work so hard and then get exhausted and need a break. I like to think of it as practicing maintenance. My body does this often. I don't think you need an oar over the head- lol! Maybe a new challenge or new short term goal to work towards and focus on. And if your fitness is good then maybe reevaluate your nutrition. Maybe you need to vary your calories or change up your food choices. You will conquer this!

I have had similar problems. And the answer is, you just have to keep doing what brought you success. Have to keep tracking if that's what you do, keep exercising, keep doing it. Success doesn't mean you can stop, it means keep going....

oh i don�t know trisia.hitting you over the head with the oar sounds tempting(just kidding)shall we try it just incase it does work,lol.it does make sense as you heard a lot on the thred that when we do well we tend to reward ourselves either with food(learnt behaviour from childhood)or by relaxing our stance a bit thinking we desearve a bit of slack after all our good work.doesn�t work though even though we think it does.right there could be several reasons why the scale doesn�t always give the results we think it should.look to see if any of theese could apply.
#you have reacently had extra salt,water retention
#you are due your period
#you have eaten something that disagrrees with you and are bloated,full of gas
# you have worked extra hard and your muscles have teared as a result and the body is holding on to extra water to help them repair
#you have lost a set amount of weight and are still eating in the same calorie range as when you were heavier
#you are eating more than you should
#you are not eating enough
# your scale could be broke or need new batteries
#you are weighing at differant times of the day,in differant clothes or the scale is in a differant place than where you normally put it.
#your exercise level might be such that your body is used to it so you need to work out more or up the difficulty level to burn the same calories as when you first started to exercise
one or all of the above could be the cause.only you yourself know which one wrings true.once you have worked that out you can deal with it.if i can help in anyway let me know.you can do this.look how far you have come already.even your mother has noticed and commented on it so you know you MUST be doing something right.till you sorted it all out concentrate on your nsv.remember the scale is only one tool of many and should be used as a guide line not the be all and end all.keep up the good work you are doing great and i for one am proud of you

The end of last year I had came across an app called Walk n Type for BlackBerry PlayBook which allowed you to text, or email from your BlackBerry PlayBook while you were on the go so you wouldn't have to worry about having embarrassing moments like walking into others or into random objects (trashcans, fountains, street signs, doors, etc). This has become a very useful app for me, and with the launch of BlackBerry 10. I wondered if that app would be available for BlackBerry 10., and it looks like someone else has taken the liberty of developing a similar app for the BlackBerry 10 platform called TextNGo. So if you are one of those who are glued to your phone and need every minute you can get to send messages; or you are simply trying to avoid being the next YouTube fail video then keep reading this is the app for you.
Yes, TextNGo utilizes the camera of your device so you have visual of what's in your path while you are typing. With TextNGo you have some really useful feature, such as it's core purpose of allowing you to see what's in front of you when you type. Changing the color of the font, turning on the flash on your camera when typing in darker areas, and the ability to copy text that you have typed. So if you are looking for an app that keeps you going all day then check out TextNGo for $0.99 in BlackBerry World.

Boys Basketball Claims Victory Over the Sequoia Cherokees

January 12, 2014
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

The Bears took on the Sequoia Cherokees on Friday night for their second league game, and came out victorious after a close-fought first half. The Bears came out strong in the second half of the game to secure the win, 60-39.
Although the Cherokees gained the first possession of the ball, senior Oliver Bucka was first to score from the post. The Cherokees responded by hitting a three, followed by a three pointer from the Bears' senior Royce Branning. Sophomore Skyler Lautalo put in a basket quickly after, followed by a steal from senior Ryan Roberts which Branning then converted into a layup down the court, tying the game 9-9.
Both teams came out with strong defense in the second quarter, preventing any scoring in the first three minutes of play until Branning hit a three pointer. The quarter remained low scoring for both teams as they battled to get any shots off. The Bears began to capitalize on their transitions, with both Bucka and Roberts scoring layups. Bucka made a final basket for the quarter as the teams headed into half time, 18-14 M-A.
The Cherokees came out determined to start off the third quarter, and they quickly tied up the game. However, the Bears seemed to come to life at this time as their shots began to fall. Branning hit a three to take the lead again, and senior Markus Guegler followed with an aggressive drive to the hoop for a layup. After a missed shot, Bucka dived out of bounds to save the ball, which went to Branning for another three pointer. Senior Brian Keare continued the battle, going up for a shot, making the basket as well as the and-one free throw.
Later in the quarter, senior Deverick Meacham grabbed the rebound from a three point attempt by Callahan and dunked the ball, causing such excitement that his own teammates on the bench accidentally stepped onto the court, earning a technical foul. The cheering continued as Callahan hit two more threes and Roberts had a steal and a layup. Guegler ended the astounding third quarter with a buzzer-beating layup after earning a steal, putting the bears up 41-24.
Callahan hit yet another three pointer to begin the fourth quarter, followed by two free throws each by Guegler and Keare. Bucka, Roberts and junior Whittaker Jellins each contributed a basket. Senior Paul Iwashita added a free throw at the end of the quarter, as well as junior Ryan Cole contributing five more points. The Bears dominated the second half of the game to take the win, 60-39.
Bucka commented on the game, saying, "In the second half we picked it up; our defense fueled our offense, and we started hitting outside shots."
He stated that the team did a specifically good job with "Our patience on offense and unselfishness with passing the ball." Coach Molieri added that the "guards did a better job of dribble penetration and kick-outs," and the "posts did a better job looking for the ball and being patient for better shots."

BoA Merrill Lynch Hires Nomura's Australia M&A Head
Bank of America Merrill Lynch has poached Nomura Holdings Australian head of mergers and acquisitions Grant Chamberlain, a person familiar with the matter said Thursday.
Sydney-based Mr. Chamberlain will join BofA Merrill Lynch as its head of mergers and acquisitions after a period of gardening leave, the person said.
Prior to joining Nomura in 2010, Mr. Chamberlain spent 12 years at Deutsche Bank where he rose to become managing director.
Australian companies have made US$1.5 billion worth of outbound acquisitions in 2013 so far, representing a 24% increase on the corresponding period of last year, according to Dealogic.
However, inbound volumes have fallen 45% to US$8.9 billion, representing its lowest level at this stage of a year since 2004.
BofA Merrill Lynch is absent from Dealogic's Australia Announced M&A Advisor League Table, while Nomura is fourth behind Macquarie Group Investec Bank and Ernst & Young.

I spend a part of each day communicating with Cellerciser customers (both owners and potential buyers). Oftentimes the discussions that we have are useful to others as was the case from a telephone conversation this past Monday that I had with a lady from New York named Christine who purchased a Half-Fold Cellerciser with Balance Bar from me last month. Today I want to pass along some of the information that we discussed.
Christine is an entrepreneur selling really nice jewelry (a sample piece can be found to the left) on sites like ebay and etsy. If you want to check out her website, go here. She spends much of her days either designing new jewelry, fulfilling and shipping orders, and doing other customer service. In our conversation, she mentioned that she was looking for a way to get exercise that would help her look and feel better without taking a lot of her time each day from her online businesses.
She read a lot about the benefits of rebounding and initially bought a lesser expensive rebounder from a nationally-known sporting goods store. In short, she liked the feel of the rebounder at first but after a couple of weeks it just wasn't giving her the desired results that she was looking for. In fact, she was having some pain in parts of her body that she didn't have before.
To Christine's credit, she got on the Internet and researched rebounders diligently. Like so many of you reading this blog post right now, she perused some so-called websites that 'review" various rebounders. I don't put a lot of stock in these sites. Some are better than others. But please don't be confused and think they have the objectivity of say a site like Consumer Reports.
In doing research on review sites and several rebounder manufacturer sites, Christine mentioned to me that she noticed that the Cellerciser was the main brand which most of the other manufacturers tried to compare their product. This was her "A-Ha" moment that maybe the rebounder she should take a serious look at was the Cellerciser. She liked the reviews and information she found on the Cellerciser Half-Fold Rebounder with Balance Bar so she ended up buying this model from me because I offered the best overall deal on the Internet.
Many of you visiting BestExerciseRebounder.com can relate to some of the things that this customer shared with me over the phone. Some visitors may be in the midst of their research for the right rebounder for them. Should you come to discover like tens of thousands of people before you that the Cellerciser rebounder is the best on the market because of its safety features, high quality construction, state-of-the-art springs, and its leader David Hall (the top authority in the rebounding industry today), then I would appreciate your business at BestExerciseRebounder.com (should you live in the Continental USA) or your purchase on ebay (if you live outside the United States so you can take advantage of the significantly lower shipping prices available through the ebay Global Shipping program).

I have never been very interested in having a relationship with a man who was significantly younger than me. Once I had a boyfriend who was 22 when I met him (I was 25), and I thought that was rather naughty of me — cradle-robbing such an innocent! I laugh now about it because I have a much more balanced perspective about any such situation at my current age of 47.
When I was 18, I moved in with my 27-year-old boyfriend, John. We were in love, and I didn't really think much about his age. His friends teased him for going out with a baby, but he acted like me and we had a lot of fun together. He had not really developed himself in the sense of having a career or investing in his future. He was still in "playtime" mode, just like most guys in their 20s. It was as if he was more my age than his own age. It worked well for about three years. Then I began to realize he had no ambition, no desire to better himself or morph into the butterfly version of himself. He had the same routine that suited him. It was his comfort zone, which I was rapidly growing out of. I knew there was more to life than the little world that we had enclosed our selves in for three years. I was antsy and curious about what else was out there. I began to see my life with him as played out. My lessons were over. I left him and sustained a badly broken heart, as we did have a deep love for each other. We both knew I would never be happy unless I was able to spread my wings and explore the perimeters of my own comfort zone.
Over the years I had loves who were about my age, rarely younger, often older. When I hit 30, that all changed. I found myself head-over-heels with a man who was eight years younger than me. This love crept up on us unexpectedly. We had been good friends since he was 19. He was one of the art students who painted me as I posed in an art-school classroom. We sometimes hung out with friends after school, and a smoldering crush developed, which neither of us spoke of.
When he was 21, and I was 29 (almost the same aged difference as me and my first love, in reverse), I found myself estranged from my first husband, and pregnant with my oldest daughter. Michael wanted to sketch me pregnant, he offered to paint the ceiling of my living room in exchange, and I agreed to the arrangement. I would go to the penthouse in Manhattan where he lived with his mother to pose. We never touched each other. We were quiet and usually very nervous, not able to speak of our feelings for fear of rejection by the other one. These sessions were sometimes agony, and Michael could not concentrate. We would end early and go our separate ways.
One day after he was painting my ceiling, he asked me if I wanted to go to the planetarium to see the Pink Floyd laser show. He heard it was really cool. I said yes, and we packed up for the day and went on our first date. During the show we sat side by side in the theater, leaning back, millimeters from touching. I wanted to lean into him so badly, but I didn't dare! He looked as if he was in pain. His hand would accidentally brush the edge of mine, then move away. I could hardly bear the agony of wanting him. It was almost a relief when the show was over, and we could leave.
We decided to go to Central Park for some fresh air and to calm our palpitations. It was a July night, full moon and stars were visible. I showed him my favorite place, a clearing with a huge old tree east of Strawberry Fields. We lay with our backs in on the grass, looking up and talking about stuff. Suddenly he turned to me, took my face between his hands and began kissing me. Our three-year friendship was transformed in that instant, and we allowed in the love that had been growing contained and politely between us. It was let out at last, and we began to make love in the twilight. I was nearly 30, seven months pregnant and a divorcée. He was a student, barely into his 20s, still living with his mother.
But none of that mattered. We were in love. Fast-forward 18 years. Michael and I are no longer together, but our relationship lasted almost four years. We traveled together to France, he was at the birth of my daughter, and we created many beautiful works of art together over the years. We continue to be friends and work on the occasional project together which is a testimony to our indelible connection, but because of the disapproval of people close to us and various endeavors of those people to break us up, we did not last. We were affected by their words and opinions, and neither of us was strong enough or wise enough to handle the opposition.
However, I did learn so many empowering things from knowing him, loving him and being loved by him. I realize now that we have a deep connection that cannot be diluted by the opinions of others. I also realize we are always going to know each other, and that was a complex matter of transforming our status over time (with a long break) to that of friends. I have learned that no one can tell you who to love or not to love. I was recently in another relationship with a younger man, this time 11 years my junior. I did not pursue this man by any stretch of the imagination. He did all the chasing to get me to go on a date with him. He was relentless! He won me over with his playfulness, his humor, his artistic side, his undisguised admiration of me, his persistence, his energy, his lack of cynicism (as is the case with many men in my age group), and his blatant adoration of me as a 40-something mature woman. All that is great to start with, but how do you sustain a relationship with such an age difference? I have three children. I've been married and divorced twice. I have a career, a degree, I've lived more of my life than he has lived his. It was an agonizing process for both of us, deciding when and how to involve him in my children's lives.
On the one hand, I knew he was a good person and trustworthy, but I didn't want to have my kids become attached to him only to have things not work out with us. They did not need to have that kind of disappointment in their lives. I also knew that at my age it would be more difficult and complicated to get pregnant and give birth. He didn't have any children of his own. What if he wanted to have biological offspring later? I argued against myself, before anyone else did: I'm not going to be in my 40s forever. When I'm 60, would he dump me for another babe in her forties? He laughed at me and said he will be in his 50s, and we will both be getting older together. It was the thing I wanted to hear, but somehow I didn't believe him. He was straining himself too hard to be with me. Neither of us could simply relax and enjoy ourselves together. There were a million looming questions and no answers. What about the kids? He tried hard to be kind and patient with my children, and he claimed to be content to think of them as the only children he will have. It still bothered me that we might never make a baby of our own. I left it up to nature, but I did not get pregnant with him in the five years we were together.
Eventually our differences became larger than everything else and we spent the last year of our relationship breaking up. These differences had origins in our upbringing, our cultures, our life view and approach to everyday situations. We were ultimately incompatible. As nervous as I was about how our breakup would affect my children, I realized that they were understood and were even relieved to see us part ways. The fighting created an uncomfortable environment that no one missed when it was gone.
Now I am together with a man I met 23 years ago, when we were both in our 20s. We found each other four years ago and rekindled our friendship. Last year we took the next step and became a couple. But having known each other for so long, we have an advantage over most yearling couples. We are of a similar age (he's only five years younger!) and background. We are both artists who had very similar childhoods of world travel and divorced parents and multiple siblings. We are both in the world of performance art and fine arts. We even had the same painting teacher before we knew each other so long ago! In a recent article (October 2012) in Psychology Today, I read a great article about five truths, life lessons people learn too late. Lesson #3 was opposites don't attract forever. It advises you to seek a mate whose values and background echo your own. Perhaps the age difference between the last guy and me was not the problem. Our overwhelming differences as people were what tore us apart.
The bottom line is that you have to know yourself and know your mate. You have to like that person as well as love them. Age may not be the issue, but something about the age difference may factor in if you are of completely different generations and value systems. Our background affects how we see the world and how we approach it.
And, in the end, it is a huge turn-on to be on the same page as your mate.

Eva Scow & Dusty Brough: Bird With Beastlike Qualities
Bird With Beastlike Qualities
Eva Scow (mandolin, electric mandolin, violin, Fender Rhodes) and Dusty Brough (acoustic & electric guitars, acoustic bass, cümbü?)
Sharon By The Sea (Adventure Music AM 1049 2)
Eva Scow (mandolin, electric mandolin, violin, Fender Rhodes), Dusty Brough (acoustic & electric guitars, acoustic bass, cümbü?),
John Martin III (percussion).
Composed by Eva Scow & Dusty Brough.
Recorded: Oakland, CA, August-November 2007
Rating: 88/100 (learn more)
The impatient ear might toss this in the World Music bin, but that's a lazy move. Sure, Scow & Brough employ acoustic instruments to fill out a series of chord changes with strummed passages and arpeggios. Closer listening, though, reveals interactions between solo and comping roles, giving the music more relationship with Shakti than your generically labeled "World" fare. This is reminiscent of classic fusion without the bravado (and volume!) but still reveling in texture and breathtaking solo flights. Great stuff.

We're suckers for labels that are name-checked in pop songs, especially when it's sung by Miss Beyonce! You might recognize her clothing label's name, the House of Deréon, from songs such as "Single Ladies" and "Check On It." We adore the Queen B, and we adore her strikingly hip and affordable 2-Tone Retro Cat Sunglasses ($42) from Deréon. These cat-eye shades throw back to the jazz-era wayfarer style, and the two-tone color creates a bold colored band along the top, which we find extra sassy.
Have no a lot of money to buy a house? Worry not, just because that is available to get the loans to work out such kind of problems. So take a auto loan to buy all you need.

* Final results are available in the LINKS box to the right.
TACOMA, Wash. – The No. 17 University of Oregon women's golf team held onto sixth place in the third and final round of the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational hosted Wednesday by Washington at the Tacoma Country and Golf Club.
Team-wise, the No. 17 Ducks (307-298-290-895) tied their second-lowest score of the season in the finale with their two-over 290 against the 14-team field that featured six top-40 ranked squads.
Overall in the 14-team standings, No. 13 California (first, 284-283-280-847) surrendered four strokes from its pre-round advantage, but still won by two over No. 2 USC (second, 285-289-275-849).
Rounding out the top five, No. 54 Washington (third, 293-298-286-877) was followed by No. 40 Stanford (fourth-tie, 299-306-289-894) and No. 9 Pepperdine (fourth-tie, 301-295-298-894).
Individually on the par 72, 6,078-yard course, senior Kendra Little (11th-tie, 74-73-72-219) led Oregon in the tourney's final standings for the 17th time career-wise and second this fall. The Eugene, Ore., native staked her second top-15 effort of the campaign after placing seventh in the season-opening Ptarmigan Ram Classic in Fort Collins.
Little's 10th career round at par consisted of four birdies (#3, 5, 10, 16), 10 par scores (#1, 4, 8-9, 11, 13-15, 17-18, and four bogeys (#2, 6-7, 12).
Leading Oregon in Wednesday's finale, junior Ashley Edwards moved into a tie for 33rd place (82-74-71-227) with her third career one-under-par round of 71, and led UO for the ninth time in a round career-wise (and first time in 2010-11).
The Oakley, Calif., native landed three birdies on the par-4 seventh and par-5 11th and 16th holes, added par scores on 13 holes (#1, 3-6, 8-10, 12-15), and bogeyed twice (#2, 17).
Oregon also counted scores Wednesday from senior Erica Omlid (22nd-t, 76-74-74-224) and freshman Raphaela Dyer (73). The latter player notched her second-best collegiate score – one off her even-par 72 in the Ptarmigan event final round.
Among other birdie counts Wednesday, Omlid and Dyer both logged three.
Overall on the individual leaderboard, Callifornia's Emily Childs (first, 68-68-136) held on for a three-stroke win over USC's Lizette Salas (second, 71-71-67-209) and California's Pia Halbig (third, 74-69-67-210) as the latter duo tied for the best final round.

Lambert-St. Louis International Airport recorded a dip of less than one percent in overall passenger activity for 2013 serving 12,570,000 passengers. That's roughly 112,000 passengers fewer than in 2012 when Lambert reported 12,683,000 passengers. This past year, Lambert recorded approximately 6,298,000 in enplanements and 6,272,000 in arriving passengers.
Lambert reported a positive finish in the final month of 2013 with December enplanements up 1.8 percent (515,000 vs. 506,000 in Dec. 2012) and arriving passengers up 0.6 percent (495,000 vs 492,000 in December 2012).
This is a bounce back after November saw the biggest drop in passenger enplanements (-7.2% vs. Nov. 2012) during 2013.
"We expected a downturn in November because of the late Thanksgiving holiday pushed it too close for many with travel plans for Christmas," said Lambert Director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge. "Looking at overall trends, this is a just a slight dip after Lambert has seen two straight years of passenger growth in 2011 and 2012."
For 2013, Southwest Airlines remained the top carrier with a near 48.7 percent market share based on enplaned passengers. Southwest enplaned 3,067,000 passengers in 2013. American is Lambert's second biggest carrier with a 15.3 percent market share (964,000 enplaned passengers). Delta Air Lines is Lambert's third largest carrier with a 13.9 percent market share (875,000 enplaned passengers) in 2013.
Lambert recorded 125,000 aircraft operations in 2013 for airlines, general aviation and military aircraft. Lambert's serves on average 250 daily departures to more than 60 non-stop destinations.
Housekeeper Melvin Edwards spot mops just outside the A Concourse Checkpoint.
When it comes to safety, a mop is one of the key tools on the frontline. They're in use 24 hours a day in the terminal and concourses at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. More than 100 Airport Authority housekeepers and contracted cleaning staff work to keep terminals and concourses clean. This time of year, it's a hard job. That's because of the winter weather. Thousands of passengers and visitors a day track in moisture from snow, ice as well as chemicals. It's a mix that creates hazards on the Airport's hard floor surfaces. Until it's mopped clean. Houskeepers also tackle food, beverage and other spills to make sure the public has a safe path around the through the Airport.
Lambert-St. Louis International Airport is becoming a bigger gateway to Mexico and the Caribbean with the kickoff of this year's winter and early spring vacation season.
In 2014, Lambert will see a 12 percent increase in flights to Mexico and the Caribbean. During the peak travel period between February and April, Lambert will serve as many as 14 flights per week to six vacation destinations.
Two new Mexico destinations from St. Louis highlight the increase in flights. Lambert will offer new weekly service to Puerto Vallarto (PVR) and Los Cabos (SJD), starting February 15 and February 17, respectively. The most popular vacation market from St. Louis is currently Cancun, with service to the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico operating as many as six days a week. Lambert also has weekly flights to Huatulco in Mexico, Montego Bay in Jamaica and and Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.
"Our vacation charter partners are seeing a great draw in our region for these trips even if customers have to drive several hours to the Airport," said Lambert Director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge. "We've witnessed a growth in our leisure travel customer base that extends beyond our normal catchment area for these vacation package trips because of our ability to offer great frequency and destination choice."
The direct flights are offered on Frontier Airlines, with vacation packages offered through Apple Vacations and Funjet Vacations.
Crews remove snow on the top level of the Terminal 1 Garage after one of the biggest winter storms in decades to hit the St. Louis region.
The Polar Vortex turned into a Polar Cleanup across the St. Louis region this week. Lambert-St. Louis International Airport recorded nearly 11 inches of snow in less than 24 hours after the storm pushed through on Sunday, Jan. 5. The snow and high winds pushed ahead of the polar plunge in temperatures that saw negative highs for the first time since the 1980s. The Airport saw hundreds of cancellations but the force of Lambert's snow removal crews kept the airfield open, roadways driveable and parking lots passable through the worst of it. The Airport snow removal effort and cleanup continued the rest of the week even as another round of snow (1.5") hit St. Louis- the third snow storm just this month.
This new breed of snow machine does double duty on Lambert's airfield as both a snowplow and a jetbroom.
Big machines are needed to clear snow from Lambert's runways and make sure our airlines can continue to operate when severe weather hits. St. Louis was hit with its first snow storm of the year this week. To conquer the snow, the Airport has a new breed, a new beast, among its fleet of snow removing machines. It's a MB5 Multi-Tasking Snow Vehicle (Manufactured in Wisconsin). This snow machine is a double-duty workhorse that can do the job of both a snow plow and a jet broom. It's powered by two 500 Horsepower engines. Lambert has seven of these machines which will be back on the job this weekend when another storm is expected to hit the area.
Inesia Runnels (far left) and five-year old Za Shaw decide which perfect pretzel they would like from Auntie Anne's in Terminal 2.
The world's favorite pretzel place, Auntie Anne's Pretzels is now open in Terminal 2, home of Southwest Airlines and Air Tran Airways. Auntie Anne's is known for it's delicious hand-rolled soft pretzels and freshly baked treats. Wherever Auntie Anne's opens, it's guaranteed to draw a crowd! Inesia Runnels and Za Shaw of Dallas, Texas stall for a minute as they choose from Auntie Anne's tasty menu. The menu includes the yummy original salted pretzel and other popular flavors like cinnamon, jalapeno and garlic. Shaw was excited to get her favorite cinnamon flavored pretzel. Auntie Anne's Pretzels is in partnership with Lambert's master food concessionaire, HMSHost.
Military men and women from Fort Leonard Wood occupy time before catching a flight home by using their electronics. Lambert Airport hooked up extra outlets to accomodate the soldiers.
The Christmas holiday season is already a busy time at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. The annual Military Holiday Block Leave provided a bigger boost this week with a sea of green as far as the eye can see in the terminals. The mass exodus of soldiers from Fort Leonard Wood is when more than 5,000 military men and women head home for the holidays. The USO, the Airport and many other groups ensure the soldiers get in the holiday spirit with numerous events and special apperances (Santa Claus) for the soldiers. The biggest hit, however, were temporary plug-in stations set up for the day so soldiers could charge up their electronics for games, videos and holiday phone calls.
Lambert-St. Louis International Airport is preparing for a busy holiday travel period surrounding the Christmas and New Year's Day holidays. Passengers should expect an increase in passenger traffic of 15-20 percent at times in the next two weeks versus non-holiday travel periods.
The kickoff begins this week with the Airport expecting 19-20,000 departing passengers on December 20. Friday marks the annual Military Holiday Block Leave with more than 5,000 soldiers from Fort Leonard Wood being transported to Lambert for flights home and elsewhere. The TSA will plan on opening all checkpoints on this morning by 3 a.m. Any passenger flying out prior to 9 a.m. Friday should expect long lines and congestion in Lambert terminals and concourses.
The USO of Missouri is planning a series of events at both terminals for military personnel who will begin arriving as early as 1:30 a.m. Friday. Events include the annual appearance of Santa and Mrs.Clause, music, military giveaways and a live broadcast of 97.1 FM's Allman in the Morning from 5 a.m. until 9 a.m. in Terminal 1.
U.S. Airlines are predicting a two percent increase in air travel over this winter holiday period with passenger loads on planes to be 80-90 percent full. Friday is expected to be the busiest air travel day across the U.S. prior to Christmas.
Passengers should arrive 90 minutes to two hours prior to their flights during holiday travel period. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is reminding passengers that they can help reduce wait times at security checkpoints with the following tips:
·3-1-1 for liquids: Liquids, gels, aerosols, creams and pastes must be 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less. and all bottles must fit in 1 quart size plastic bag and placed in a bin for screening.
·Gifts: TSA recommends passengers wrap gifts after their flight or ship them ahead of time to avoid the possibility of having to open them during the screening process.
·Food: Food items such as pies and cakes are permitted, but may require further inspection
· Children 12 and under and adults 75 and older: TSA has modified the screening procedures for children 12 and under and adults 75 and older.
·Check for prohibited items: Travelers can use the "Can I bring my..." app on www.TSA.gov or www.TSA.gov/mobile to check what items are allowed/not allowed in carry-on and checked luggage. Smartphone users can easily download the "My TSA" app to quickly find helpful information about TSA policies and procedures.
·Prepare for security: Have a U.S. federal or state-issued photo ID and boarding pass out and remove liquids and large electronics, including laptops, from carry-on baggage. Remember to remove shoes, outerwear, and bulky jewelry and empty pockets. Place valuable items in a carry-on bag.
·TSA's Wounded Warrior Screening program: This program allows expedited screening and curb to gate service for this trusted group of citizens. Wounded warriors or their care coordinators can contact TSA Cares toll free at 1-855-787-2227 with details of the itinerary once flight arrangements are made with the airline.
·More Travel Tips: Check out TSA's helpful Traveler Information site for more useful information to help ease the traveling public through security checkpoints. Additional holiday travel tips are available: http://blog.tsa.gov/2013/11/tsa-2013-holiday-travel-tips.html
Picking Up Passengers: Use Free Cell Phone Lots
The impact of this busy travel season also applies to those picking up passengers at Lambert. The Airport recommends motorists use one of two cell phone lots to wait for passengers to arrive. These free waiting zones are conveniently located within a few minutes from Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 and feature display boards to help check the status of incoming flights. Motorists should contact arriving passengers via a mobile phone before leaving the Cell Phone Lot to confirm they are ready for immediate pickup at the terminals. Passenger pick up zones at each terminal are for active loading only; no waiting is allowed. For cell phone locations and more information, click here.
Seven-year old Corben Phillips gives a Marines Master Sergeant a high-five on his way to the gate for American Airlines annual Snowball Express.
Eleven families from St. Louis and Illinois will share a special Christmas celebration thanks to American Airlines' Snowball Express. Snowball Express started in 2006 to provide hope and new memories to the children of military fallen heroes who have died while on active duty since 9/11. This year, eighteen children from the St. Louis and Metro East area will enjoy a four- day Christmas party with other families of fallen heroes in Dallas, Texas. Organizers say the main goal is to honor the sacrifice the families of the fallen have made and make sure that children who lost a parent can connect with other children who are experiencing the same. This is Corben Phillips (pictured) second year attending the Snowball Express. Corben's dad was killed in 2012.
Avoid parking fees the next time you pick up a passenger. Lambert provides free waiting zones for motorists near each terminal.

Two 5th grade educators named recipients of 2013 Trinity Prize for Excellence in Teaching
Trinity Prize winners Charlotte Dolat (left) and Isabel Anaya (right) with Murchison Professor and education chair Shari Albright (center).
By Susie P. Gonzalez
SAN ANTONIO - Two 5th grade teachers from San Antonio have been named winners of the 2013 Trinity Prize for Excellence in Teaching. The recipients are Charlotte S. Dolat, who teaches at Woodridge Elementary School in the Alamo Heights Independent School District, and Isabel Anaya, who teaches at Charles L. Kuentz Jr. Elementary School in the Northside Independent School District.
They were chosen from 19 distinguished educators who were nominated by their school districts in recognition of outstanding performance in public education. All were honored Wednesday, May 1, in a ceremony held on the campus of Trinity University.
Dolat begins the school year reading a book about a talking crayon box that illustrates the importance of each 5th grader's unique and creative talents that, when combined, result in a spectacular picture. Because her students range from those for whom English is a second language to special education to gifted and talented, she not only guides them to be thinkers, planners, and problem solvers, she emphasizes empathy in her classroom. As technology coordinator, she presents virtual tours to prepare students for field trips and blogs about innovations with teachers across the country. She also initiated a program called Girls Excelling in Math and Science (GEMS). She holds a bachelor's degree from Stephen F. Austin University and a master's from Houston Baptist. "It's not what I teach, but what students learn that matters."
Walking into Anaya's classroom is like stepping into a world of imagination and creativity. She may greet students by standing on a desk to recite a Walt Whitman poem or wear spy gear while the "Mission Impossible" theme song prompts students to solve a tough assignment. She explodes soap in a microwave to illustrate density and volume and even used her own MRI from an illness to spark discussion of brain-based research. Growing up in East Chicago, Ind., Anaya benefited from a caring teacher who steered her to the Upward Bound program and ultimately to Ball State University. In 2005, she earned a master's degree and currently is in a doctoral program. "My hope is that students leave my classroom with a healthy dose of self-esteem, confidence, and knowledge."
The greater San Antonio area's oldest and most prestigious teaching award, the Trinity Prize was launched in 1982 to honor public school teachers who distinguish their teaching practice through outstanding classroom performance, leadership in the school and school district, leadership in the education profession, and outstanding community service.
Recipients of the Prize - which is sponsored by Trinity's education department, along with the H-E-B Grocery Co. and the San Antonio Express-News - each received $2,500 and a crystal apple. A panel of San Antonio business and community leaders selected the winners.
During Wednesday's ceremony, the 2012 National Teacher of the Year, Rebecca Mieliwocki, delivered the Kappa Delta Pi lecture for outstanding educators. She is a 7th grade English teacher in Burbank, Calif.
