The [1-5-1]Emergency Building Recording team is responsible for the survey and interpretation of historic buildings threatened with demolition or substantial alteration, or by serious decay. It deals with all types of standing structures, but a key aspect of the work is the recording, under the terms of the Town and Country Planning Acts, of Listed Buildings or buildings in Conservation Areas where consent has been granted for demolition, or substantial alteration.
Over 500 notifications of applications for Listed Building Consent are received annually from Welsh unitary authorities, and this consultation process generates important archival material for the National Monuments Record of Wales,especially plans and photographs relating to buildings that are by definition structures of special interest.
The decision to record a structure is a balance between the Royal Commission's priorities and the expectations of local planning authorities and heritage organisations. Recording has to be selective and depends on an assessment of the degree of threat, the nature of the existing record of particular building types, the resources available, and perceptions of the importance of a building. In addition to carrying out our own surveys, we advise on levels of survey and interpretation carried out by others.

College Hockey:Johnstone goal caps rally as Michigan Tech overcomes four-goal deficit to tie Minnesota-Duluth
DULUTH, Minn. — The top-ranked team in Division I outran Michigan Tech for 20 minutes and took a four-goal lead Friday night at Amsoil Arena, but it was hardly enough.
Minnesota Duluth stopped its pursuit and had to hold on for a 4-4 overtime tie in a Western Collegiate Hockey Association men's game before an announced crowd of 6,670.
The Bulldogs (17-4-4 and 11-3-3 in the WCHA) left the rink as if they had lost.
Michigan Tech (11-12-2 and 8-7-2) left as if it had won. The Huskies did win the final two periods after being outmatched 4-0 in the first.
"When coach (Mel) Pearson came in after the first period, he told us about a Michigan team he coached that was down 5-1 against North Dakota in the Great Lakes Invitational, and came back to win in overtime," said Michigan Tech freshman winger David Johnstone. "He just asked us to play better, to chip the puck behind UMD and try to slow their transition game. We got UMD to turn the puck over and they might've gotten frustrated. And our goalie (Josh Robinson) bounced back from the first period and played amazingly."
Michigan Tech outshot Minnesota-Duluth 19-8 in the third period and scored three goals — even-strength, short-handed and on a power play. The tying goal came as Johnstone went to the front of the UMD net and had passes from Brett Olson and Jordan Baker. Johnstone kicked the puck to his stick and found an open net behind goalie Kenny Reiter with 5:48 left in regulation.
After seven straight losses to Minnesota-Duluth, the Huskies were happy with a tie.
The Bulldogs said the tie hurt worse than any loss this season.
"As the game went on, we stopped doing what makes us successful and it's humbling," said UMD freshman defenseman Chris Casto. "It was the opposite from many of our games. First periods haven't been that good for us, and the third period is usually our best. We had a substantial lead and let that get away."
Minnesota-Duluth is 16-1-4 the last 21 games and the Huskies are 5-10-1 the last 16. And the Bulldogs looked like much the better team early.
Senior winger David Grun's first goal of the season 5:50 into the game gave Minnesota-Duluth a 1-0 lead, then freshman winger Caleb Herbert and senior defenseman Brady Lamb followed with rapid-fire connections, scoring on consecutive shots 38 seconds apart for a 3-0 lead at 10:58.
With 4:47 left in the first period, Herbert added his 10th goal of the season on a pass from Travis Oleksuk.
"All the nice goals were created from hard work, and transitioning and attacking, and then we quit working," said Bulldogs coach Scott Sandelin. "We got outworked for the next 40 minutes."
Michigan Tech's Ryan Furne scored the only goal of the second period, with 4:47 left, and then Baker connected 41 seconds into the third period. Minnesota-Duluth's lead was 4-2. Jacob Johnstone, David's brother and centerman, earned a short-handed goal near the end of a Bulldogs' five-minute power play with 8:54 left in regulation. With J.T. Brown off for cross checking, the Huskies got the equalizer.
"Our goalie played much better after the first period, his game improved, and that gave us a chance," said Pearson, a former Michigan Tech player in his first year as head coach. "I thought we dominated the third period."
Robinson robbed Jack Connolly (who had a 22-game point streak end) and Brown, while the Bulldogs also hit two pipes. In overtime, Minnesota-Duluth led in shots 3-1, but the Bullldogs were 0-of-4 on power plays and are 0-of-19 the past five games.
The tie dropped the Bulldogs three points behind first-place Minnesota, a 2-1 winner over St. Cloud State. Minnesota-Duluth does have two games in hand.
"This does sting; it's a rotten feeling," said Herbert. "Michigan Tech played a simple game and all of their guys kept working, and moving their feet. They were hungrier than we were."

Steve McLaughlin
Arizona's Steve McLaughlin topped a remarkable four-year career in 1994 by winning the Lou Groza Collegiate Placekicker Award as the nation's best-the one player you want to kick in a clutch. He certainly did in 1994, earning consensus first-team All-America honors. He made 80 percent of his kicks during the season, including an amazing 12 of 16 beyond 40 yards and three-for-five from beyond 50 yards. He led the Pac-10 in scoring with 95 points in 1994, and was the first in the league and second nationally with 2.1 field goals per game. He kicked a career-best 54-yard field goal against California to earn an AT&T Long Distance Award for the longest kick of the week. Best of all was the improvement and mental adjustment he made from the beginning of his career to the end, notable overcoming a "wide right" miss at Miami that would have stunned the No.1 Hurricanes in 1992.

Remember being a kid and being told to go find something to do every time you said you were bored? You spent hours running around outside, using your imagination to play all kinds of crazy made-up games. Sitting around watching TV or playing on the computer wasn't a choice.
Now when your kids tell you that they are bored, you can help them to unplug and tap into those joys of your own childhood. Eileen Mc Aree, an educator in New York, has written a new book, called Boredom Busters: Stuff for Kids to Do When There's Nothing to Do . Many of the games and activities are classics that you may have forgotten, but will excitedly remember when you see them again. Some of them may be new to you. All of them involve interaction without being dependent on electronics.
Reviews thus far have primarily praised the book for reintroducing those old favorites and triggering happy childhood memories. Parents like having ideas for both inside and outside of the house, for fun no matter what the weather brings. Grandparents appreciate the entertainment options for when they are in charge. Adults can have fun engaging with kids, but can also try to get some of their own chores and work done while the kids entertain themselves.
The main criticism is that people simply wanted to see more pictures of kids playing each game, in addition to the clear step-by-step instructions.
Boredom Busters is currently available on Amazon, in both print and ebook versions.

It is always entertaining to try and imagine what the world will be like a century from now. Even though it is impossible to fully comprehend what the future has to hold, we need only to look at the strides taken during the past one hundred years to get some clues. For instance, my grandparents were born during the 1890's at a time before cars, planes, or electrical appliances. There were only a few rudimentary telephones in use then, and efficient electrical power was just beginning to emerge, but behind the scenes there were many other creative irons-in-the-fire. Far out concepts like the X-ray, radio, television and other wireless type transmissions were all in their infancy. And, as my grandmother would always say as each new discovery would materialize, "What will they possibly think of next?"
The year 1892 marked the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's famous journey to America. So, in celebration of this centenary event, the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 was dedicated (on Oct. 21, 1892) as "The World Columbian Exposition.'
There were many exceptional individuals that would come together to make this an extraordinary event. First of all, the 647 acre exposition was co-designed by Daniel Burnham, a urban planner and Frederick Law Olmsted, who is now considered to be the father of Landscape architecture. Olmsted's balanced symmetrical layout for this [model city] included more than 200 French neoclassical style buildings that were situated between many lakes, canals, fountains, and a massive sculpture of Columbus designed by head sculptor, August St. Gaudens. The whole expanse was on a grand scale that came to represent an American renaissance in the areas of art, architecture, science and technology.
The central hub of the exposition was given the nickname, "The White City," for more than one reason. The buildings were all finished in a white stucco, but more significantly, at night the streets were illuminated with electrical lighting. Much to the dismay of Thomas Edison, his two rivals, Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, won the coveted lighting contract with their alternating current (AC) system. This achievement was to pave the way for the construction of our entire electrical grid. That is not to say that Thomas Edison was not present in the palace of mechanical arts showing of his many other inventions.
Another of the many firsts introduced at the exposition was the original Ferris Wheel designed by bridge builder, George Ferris Jr. A piece of art in itself, the wheel stood almost three hundred feet high. It was comprised of 36 pivoting passenger cages, (which would accommodate as many as sixty people each), all outfitted on a steel structure connected to a seventy ton revolving axle. The total human capacity of this giant contraption was an astounding 2,160 passengers -- at one time!
In all there were 47 nations that sponsored the 60,000 exhibitors. While the whole affair ended up costing a staggering $25 million to build, the six month long event attracted nearly 30 million visitors and showed a two million dollar profit. Here are some interesting facts related to the Columbian Exposition:
Frederick Law Olmsted was also the father of Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. who contributed so much to the design of Yosemite National Park, and for whom Olmsted Point is named.
L. Frank Baum was inspired by the White City before he wrote "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," but he called his magical vision, "The Emerald City."
Elias Disney's was a construction worker in Chicago who worked on parts of White City eight years before his son Walter was Born in 1901. Walt later studied photos of the exposition while planning his theme park in Anaheim.
John Muir and Samuel Clemens both attended the exposition and were guests of Nikola Tesla. Muir who was also campaigning for the conservation of Yosemite at the Exposition approved of Tesla's clean approach to energy.
Francis Davis Millet, who was the famed director of art for the exposition would become a victim of the Titanic tragedy 100 years ago, in 1912.

Objectives The durability of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) regimens can be measured as time to discontinuation because of toxicity or treatment failure, development of clinical disease or serious long-term adverse events. The aim of this analysis was to compare the durability of nevirapine, efavirenz and lopinavir regimens based on these measures. Methods Patients starting a nevirapine, efavirenz or lopinavir-based cART regimen for the first time after 1 January 2000 were included in the analysis. Follow-up started >/=3 months after initiation of treatment if viral load was <500 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL. Durability was measured as discontinuation rate or development/worsening of clinical markers. Results A total of 603 patients (21%) started nevirapine-based cART, 1465 (51%) efavirenz, and 818 (28%) lopinavir. After adjustment there was no significant difference in the risk of discontinuation for any reason between the groups on nevirapine and efavirenz (P=0.43) or lopinavir (P=0.13). Compared with the nevirapine group, those on efavirenz had a 48% (P=0.0002) and those on lopinavir a 63% (P<0.0001) lower risk of discontinuation because of treatment failure and a 31% (P=0.01) and 66% (P<.0001) higher risk, respectively, of discontinuation because of toxicities or patient/physician choice. There were no significant differences in the incidence of non-AIDS-related events, worsening anaemia, severe weight loss, increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels or increased total cholesterol. Compared with patients on nevirapine, those on lopinavir had an 80% higher incidence of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol decreasing below 0.9 mmol/L (P=0.003), but there was no significant difference in this variable between those on nevirapine and those on efavirenz (P=0.39). Conclusions The long-term durability of nevirapine-based cART, based on risk of all-cause discontinuation and development of long-term adverse events, was comparable to that of efavirenz or lopinavir, in patients in routine clinical practice across Europe who initially tolerated and virologically responded to their regimen.

Welcome to Springfield by HOT--DOGWatch
Welcome TO Springfield, the most successful city of the United States.
Did you know that Springfield is in Oregon?
It is not specified as long as from Season 1 to Season 25 I've watched. Lol
It wasn't mentioned in the show. Springfield, Oregon has unofficially billed itself as the Simpsons' hometown. (I know because I've been there.)

According to a Feb. 4 Instagram post from Jason Frank, the former Power Ranger wants to battle WWE legend CM Punk in an MMA fight.
"So now that CM punk is out of his contracts and wants to do MMA. Why not me? He already said he fight me," Frank wrote on Instagram. "I got this on video from a fan. Come on CM punk we could make this a awesome fight. Plus his weight is way down. This is a recent pic. I'll make any weight to make this happen!!"
Frank, 40, won five MMA fights in a row in 2010, but hasn't competed inside the cage in close to four years.
He was supposed to face Shawn Machado on July 22, 2011 at Legacy FC 7, but the fight never materialized.
As for Punk, the WWE standout has no cage-fighting experience, but he trains with BJJ legend Rener Gracie.
Punk also hinted in a recent interview with MMA Fighting reporter Ariel Helwani that he would be interested in trying his hand at a UFC fight.
"I have this notoriety and I have this presence, so do you put that on a small show or do you start off in the UFC? Maybe I just get guzzled. Who knows? But think of all the people who want to see me get my ass kicked!" Punk told Helwani. "Think about that. So it's a really interesting question I think.
"It's like what do you do with that? Do you put me in a UFC Octagon and does that do a good buyrate because people are interested in seeing it, or do people just want to see me get beat up? And either way everyone makes a bunch of money. I get punched in the face four nights a week, and I'm not saying it's any easier or any harder than what I do. There's similarities and there's differences."
It was also announced on Feb. 5 that Bellator MMA hopes to secure Punk's services.
CM Punk is currently under contract with the WWE, but he walked away from the promotion following an argument he had with WWE head honcho Vince McMahon at the 2014 WWE Royal Rumble.
Punk was apparently annoyed that the WWE scripted Batista to win the Royal Rumble, rather than him.

Will the Irish Start Hating Germany?
If it's Thursday, it must be Ireland's turn.
That's what it's starting to feel like: investors taking pot shots at one after the other of the euro zone's 'peripheral' economies. One day it's Greece. The next it's Portugal. Then Ireland. Then maybe Spain or Italy. And back to Greece, Portugal, Ireland…
A daisy chain of disaster and desperation.
Of course, there was some news to trigger the latest volley of market misfortune aimed at Ireland. The second-quarter GDP figures make grim reading; the economy contracted by 1.2% from the previous three months. Read our coverage here.
And then there are the rumors about yet more ugliness in the Irish banking sector. Opposition politicians are calling for Ireland's beleaguered banks to default on their bondholders, while there have been hints from the government that subordinated paper could be "renegotiated".
Given the size of the liabilities of the Irish banking sector–vastly bigger than an economy Ireland's size can comfortably support–and Ireland's commitment, so far, to guarantee them, little wonder credit default swaps on Irish sovereign debt have blown out. The market clearly thinks Ireland runs a significant risk of going bust.
Sure, the Irish managed to flog some of their sovereign debt this week, albeit with a big thank you to European Central Bank guarantees. But investors are rationally wondering how much of a bill core Europe, namely Germany, will be willing to pick up from the periphery. After all, it's not just Ireland, it's Portugal and Greece and…
Not just that, there's the additional question of whether the Irish (and the Portuguese and the Greeks) will ever really fit into the one-size-fits-all currency region.
The ECB has run monetary policy with both eyes firmly on Germany. During the late 1990s and early part of the new century, that meant keeping interest rates low to accommodate Germany's struggles with financing reunification. Those low rates might have suited the German economy, but they were deeply negative in real terms across peripheral Europe, igniting massive booms. The Irish property bubble made Las Vegas and Miami look like amateurs.
And since the bust, Ireland's inability to devalue its way back into competitiveness relative to Germany means that it's now having to deflate. If you can't erode wages through inflation, you have to cut them. The only alternative would be for Germans to accept much higher rates of domestic inflation. But they won't.
So Ireland is condemned to continue a painful deflationary process engineered by austerity.
Unfortunately, even this won't prove sufficient in the long run.

June 2, 1997
Carr a Finalist for USA 22 and Under Squad
Big 12's Leading Scorer One of 16 Finalists for Elite Team
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Following three-days of trials which featured 61 of the top U.S. collegians, USA Basketball announced today the finalists for the 1997 USA Men's 22 & Under World Championship. The selections were made by the USA Basketball Men's Collegiate Committee.
Texas Tech rising senior Cory Carr, who averaged 11.2 points a game last summer for the gold medal-winning USA 22 & Under World Championship Qualifying Team, is one of the 16 players.
Carr led the Big 12 Conference in scoring last year with 23.1 points a game. His scoring average was the third highest in school history for a single season. Carr surpassed his own single-season mark with 94 three-pointers in helping lead Texas Tech to a 19-9 overall record and 10-6 Big 12 mark. Carr, a honorable mention All-America, was second-team All-Big 12 and was twice the league's player of the week.
"I think it's a great honor to represent the USA," Carr said. "There are a lot of new great players here - a lot of talent."
Carr scored 24 points in the Gold Medal win over Puerto Rico last summer. He shot .643 from the field, .545 from the three-point line and .875 from the free throw line. He started three of the USA's five games.
"The thing that our USA team (22 and Under World Championship Qualifying Team) had last year was a lot of chemistry," said Carr, "and they understood roles and that will take some time for us to learn, but we have a lot of great talent and we'll be fine."
Sixteen finalists, including three Big 12 Conference players, were named for the USA Basketball Men's 22 & Under World Championship Team. Those 16 players will open training camp in Newport Beach, Calif. on July 8 and train daily through July 21. The team will be reduced to its official 12-member roster on or before July 21. The four players who do not make the Under 22 World Championship team, will be invited to tryout for the USA World University Games Team with the 12 other players who were identified by the Selection Committee as finalists for the World University Game squad. In the event that any of the 16 finalists can not participate in the August 4-11 World University Games training camp at Bradley University (Peoria, Ill.), four alternates have also been identified and would serve as possible replacements.
"We had 61 great kids participate in this year's trials," remarked Terry Holland, chair of the USA Basketball Men's Collegiate Committee. "They worked very hard over the course of three days of trials which made our selection process very difficult. Every player who participated showed he was a winner and I think every player benefited from their experience at the Trials. Ultimately, the committee felt the talent of the 28 chosen finalists would fit together best for each of the competitions."
Named as finalists for the USA 22 & Under World Championship Team were Chad Austin (Purdue/ Richmond, Ind.); Corey Brewer (Oklahoma/West Memphis, Ark.); Brian Cardinal (Purdue/Tolono, Ill.); Cory Carr (Texas Tech/Fordyce, Ark.); Mike Doleac (Utah/Portland, Ore.); Evan Eschmeyer (Northwestern/New Knoxville, Ohio); Pat Garrity (Notre Dame/ Monument, Colo.); Sam Jacobson (Minnesota/Cottage Grove, Minn.); Mike Jones (Texas Christian/OklahomaCity, Okla.); Tyronn Lue (Nebraska/Mexico, Mo.); Andre Miller (Utah/Los Angeles, Calif.); Brad Miller (Purdue/ Kendalville, Ind.); Scott Padgett (Kentucky/Louisville, Ky.); Ansu Sesay (Mississippi/Houston, Texas); Robert Traylor (Michigan/Detroit, Mich.) and Tyson Wheeler (Rhode Island/New London, Conn.).
Held on a four-year cycle and featuring players 22-years-old and younger (born on or after January 1, 1975), the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) 22 & Under World Championship will be held August 1-10 in Melbourne, Australia, and will feature a 12-team field. The U.S. in 1993 finished 8-0 and captured gold in the inaugural 22 & Under World Championship in Spain. Utah mentor Rick Majerus will serve as the USA 22 & Under head coach and will be assisted by University of Evansville (Ind.) coach Jim Crews and Pepperdine University (Calif.) head coach Lorenzo Romar.
Training camp for the 22 & Under World Championship Team will open July 8 and run through July 21. During training, the USA team will play five games against teams competing in the Los Angeles Summer League. The USA squad will leave for Australia on July 21, then play exhibition games against Australia's 22 & Under team on July 25 in Sydney and South Korea on July 27 in Canberra.
"I think we're going to have a team that's very deep, there's 16 candidates and irregardless of which 12 we take, I think we're taking some talented players," said Majerus, head coach of the USA 22 & Under World Championship squad. "We're going to try to play man-to-man defense. We're going to be committed to being a good man-to-man team, to block out, and defensive rebounds will be the utmost importance because we want to fastbreak. We're going to try to push the ball, get the ball in the open court, then go inside and really execute our offense and value each possession."

Is there any way to sync Google Music, preferably including playlists, with Banshee on Ubtuntu 11.10?
The Google Music agent appears to download purchased and free music, but it seems to only be a one way sync (and no playlists at all).
I'd just use the otherwise excellent web app (I actually like it better than Banshee for some things) but it doesn't have the same integration with Ubuntu or the media keys on my keyboard.

Word to the wise, try VERY hard to avoid flying when in the midst of a sinus infection. My ears are still clogged and I've had a serious case of the spins for 2 days now. That's less of a complaint and more of an excuse as to why I've been M.I.A. for longer than expected.
So by now you know I had the opportunity to spend the Easter weekend in Chicago and man was it a good time. Did you keep up with my Instagramming while I was gone? They are seriously serious about their architecture. Fun fact: since most of the city burned down during the Great Chicago Fire in 1871 that "Chicago buildings are noted for their originality rather than their antiquity." I didn't. I feel like I should have, but I didn't.
Have you been there? Do you live there? What's your favorite spot? On this trip the best thing we did was head to the lounge at the Hancock Tower. Instead of buying tickets to go to the viewing deck, we got almost as high up and spent the dough on drinks. Tada!
Check out Chitown through my eyes (you can click on the first image and view them all in a nice lightbox. Just hit the arrow keys!):
Wow, these are gorgeous! Really amazing shots!
those shoot-straigh-up shots make-a me dizzy.
Great photos! But they still don't have the Space Needle.
I love those photos! Actually, Chicago is definitely a nice place and I hope I can have holidays there by next year.. Thanks for the idea..
Great shots! Chicago is really a big city. I think I've seen some of those buildings in the movies before. I'm just not sure which movies.
Wow..You had a great experience having this trip you see all the beautiful and nice places in Chicago..
Spectacular photos Ry! Isn't the architecture amazing there?

It's back – the annual event folks near and far have been waiting for. Of course, we're talking about SunFest, where music meets the waterfront in downtown West Palm Beach scheduled for April 30-May 4.
This year's headliners include Kid Rock, Ellie Goulding, Robin Thicke, Goo Goo Dolls, J. Cole, Alice in Chains, Daughtry, the Doobie Brothers, Cake, David Nail, the Bangles, Blues Traveler, the Wailers and many more. In addition, the BBT Juried Fine Art & Craft Show will feature the work of more than 140 national artists – including jewelry, painting, pottery and ceramics, photography, sculpture, wood and more – from May 2-4.
But SunFest is about more than just a showcase for musical and artistic talent. It's also a great example of how you can have fun in the sun and also be environmentally responsible.
As a part of the "SunFest Goes Green Behind the Scenes" environmental program, the festival makes every effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and its carbon footprint through the promotion of alternative transportation such as bike valets, group shuttles and pre-paid parking incentives for carpooling.
The festival also recruits, schedule and corresponds with all volunteers virtually as a means of limiting paper use. In addition, the entertainment application process is done virtually to eliminate the submission of paper applications.
SunFest also rents all of the equipment for the event – including tables, tents, chairs, flooring and garbage receptacles – each year to promote reuse. The festival's three floating barges and dock area are also reused each year and are constructed and deconstructed just for the event.
Last, but not least, more than 500,000 pounds of materials consisting of corrugated cardboard, plastic and glass are recycled during the five-day event. All of these measures demonstrate SunFest's serious commitment to the conservation of Palm Beach County's environment. To learn more about SunFest 2014 – including how to get tickets – click here.

This past week President Barack Obama message on the economy focused on jobs, jobs, jobs, as he again pushed Congress to pass the unemployment benefits extension for the long term jobless and introduced manufacturing institutes that will train Americans for high tech manufacturing jobs. The President gave a major speech to "2000 people" on those economic themes at the North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina on Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2014 and followed up on the same message in his weekly address released on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014. In both his speech and weekly address the President promised to take the initiative when Congress fails to act.
In his speech in North Carolina, President Obama expressed that he wants to work with Congress on the economy, but when they stall on the issue, he promised to "act"; "The challenge of making sure everyone who works hard can get ahead in today's economy is so important that we can't wait for Congress to solve it. Where I can act, on my own without Congress, I'm going to do so. And today I'm here to act." President Obama continues his streak of criticizing Congressional Republicans in his speeches.
Obama announced his manufacturing innovation institute that will train and create jobs in manufacturing, which Obama deems is vital to middle class jobs creation and the economy. Obama announced the initiative in his speech; "The reason I came here today is because we've got to do more to connect universities like NC State with companies like Vacon to make America the number-one place in the world to open new businesses and create new jobs." The President explained these "hubs" will "help to lift up our communities. They'll help spark the technology and research that will create the new industries, the good jobs required for folks to punch their ticket into the middle class."
President Obama describes the manufacturing institutes in his weekly address as "a partnership between companies, colleges, and the federal government focused on making sure American businesses and American workers win the race for high-tech manufacturing and the jobs that come with it - jobs that can help people and communities willing to work hard punch their ticket into the middle class."
This is the second manufacturing institute the first opened last year in Ohio, and will be called "The Next Generation Power Electronics Institute" and to be located in NCSU's Centennial Campus, and funded with $140 million, half $70 million provided by the Department of Energy and the remaining $70 million will be provided by universities, companies involved and North Carolina's government.
President Obama explained these institutes will give the U.S. an economic edge on "high tech jobs"; "The country that figures out how to do this first, and the companies that figure out how to do this best, they're going to be the ones that attract the jobs that go with them." The President is looking to create 45 "hubs" likes this institute, however, after funding the first three; Congress will be required to allocate funds to establish the remainder. President Obama first introduced the initiative in his 2013 State of the Union, and has been trying to keep his promises gearing up to his 2014 address to be given on Jan. 28.
President Obama spent some time in his speech to urge Congress to stop stalling and pass the unemployment benefits extension, telling them to "do the right thing and extend this vital lifeline." Elaborating how important the benefits are especially for North Carolinians Obama expressed; "Let me just make an aside here. North Carolina still has a higher-than-average unemployment rate, so this is important to this state. Folks aren't looking for a handout. … People need support, a little help, so they can look after their families while they are looking for a new job." On Dec. 28, 2013 1.3 million Americans lost access to benefits, and each week about 70,000 Americans will lose benefits.
The unemployment benefits extension stalled in the Senate on Wednesday, Jan. 15 after it failed with a vote of 55-45, unable move to the next stage since it could not muster the 60 votes needed, including the support of five Republicans. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV stated; "I am disappointed that we couldn't work something out." The Senate bipartisan plan would have extend unemployment benefits for another three months. Sens. Dean Heller, R-NV and Jack Reed, D-R.I. are the authors and sponsors of the extension plan; the Heller-Reed bill.
The Senate has a bipartisan plan which would extend unemployment benefits for another three months. Sens. Dean Heller, R-NV and Jack Reed, D-R.I. are the authors and sponsors of the extension plan; the Heller-Reed bill. The President approves of the short-term plan and would sign such a bill if it passes the House and Senate.
The Emergency Unemployment Compensation Extension Act would cost $6.5 billion, but Heller and Reed did not outline how the costly extension would be paid for, besides contributing further to the deficit. However, Reid refused to cover the costs of the bill when only extended for three months and tried to bribe the Republicans in agreeing to a nine month extension, where Democrats would agree to spending cuts to cover the costs, however Republicans balked at the plan.
During the 2008 recession when Republican George W. Bush was President the government enlarged the Federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program to extend unemployment benefits beyond the 26 weeks that the states give. During the recession the "combined" state and federal benefits gave unemployed Americans 99 weeks of relief. The federal government provides "47 weeks" of extended benefits averaging "$300 a week."
The Heller-Reed extension bill has stalled in the Senate after it passed its first protocol vote on Tuesday, Jan. 7 which moved it beyond the cloture stage. Republicans have objected primarily to extending the benefits based on the extension's price tag with the Democrats not balancing it out with spending cuts, and because they believe it does not motivate the unemployed to find a job as long as they have access to benefits.
Speaking in his weekly address entitled "Making 2014 a Year of Action to Expand Opportunities for the Middle Class" President Obama stated his speech and visit to Raleigh, North Carolina was "part of my push not only to make America home to more high-tech manufacturing - but to make America more attractive for the good jobs that a growing middle class requires."
Obama also boasted about his administration's economic accomplishments; "We generate more renewable energy than ever, and more natural gas than anybody. Health care costs are growing at their slowest rate in 50 years - due in part to the Affordable Care Act. And since I took office, we've cut our deficits by more than half." However, Obama believes the time is right to create jobs and improve the economy even more continuing his "year of action" theme; "So we are primed to bring back more of the good jobs claimed by the recession, and lost to overseas competition in recent decades. But that requires a year of action. And I want to work with Congress this year on proven ways to create jobs, like building infrastructure and fixing our broken immigration system."
President Obama's main message in his weekly address was again calling out the do nothing 113th Congress and Republicans, promising to take the initiative for the economy where he can even without Congress' help as he stated in North Carolina; "Where Congress isn't acting, I'll act on my own to put opportunity within reach for anyone who's willing to work for it." Obama concluded; "I firmly believe that this can be a breakthrough year for America. But to make that happen, we're gonna have to act - to create good jobs that pay good wages, and to offer more Americans a fair shot to get ahead. That's what I'm focused on every day that I have the privilege of serving as your president. That's what I'm going to be focused on every single day of this year."

Happy 43rd Birthday, Jennifer Lopez! Now that you've confirmed you won't be returning to American Idol, you'll have plenty of time to focus on that Enrique Iglesias tour and continue to reverse the aging process by dating younger men. Lopez's new video for "Goin' In," off the Step Up Revolution soundtrack, features Flo Rida and Lil Jon (what?), painfully bejeweled lips, flying anvils, and a hoodie-Yankees cap combination reminiscent of her Puff Daddy-era red carpet days. Basically it's a return to "the block," if said neighborhood's street lights were replaced with lasers and its fire hydrants unleashed sprays of colorful body paint on groups of party-ready residents.
The full clip premieres Wednesday night on MTV, but in case you had your doubts, 30 seconds are all we need to scientifically prove that Casper Smart does a body good. But watch your back and hold on to your boy-toy, Jen. With results like that, there's no way Kris Jenner won't attempt to bottle him up and market him to E! execs soon enough.

final confirmation to the powers that were…old binary program 1 & 0's, obelisk and the dome, pyramid and the sphere has come to a closure…confirmation from Ellie Crystal…
" and the obelisk symbolizes the number 1 and Isis (Sirius). (0,1 and Binary Code. This all goes back to the beginning ... when ships allegedly arrived from Orion and Sirius using consciousness and harmonics (sound, light and color) to create a Master Program. I have been told that I came here from Sirius - the Middle East - the Great Pyramid marker - the core crystal - the original 12 inserts -> the eventual movement of the Masonic (mother-sound) Program to the American Continent ... all of which is now coming full circle to closure. "
Running through Mary Lake and the Augustian monastery…created 12 dimensional portal
The shrine in the monastery is named the Our Lady of Grace Shrine, whose title is taken from an Augustinian shrine in Lisbon , Portugal.[1] The monastery motto is One mind and one heart unto God.
Creating the circle to the seed of life, the merkaba in the middle, my physical body in the middle…spinning, spinning, running faster, faster, cells vibration increasing…light body activated….zooming out…..then wait!!

Running again, became a tree…feet/roots anchoring deep into the earth, lighting up all the way around…arms/ branches out to the universe….light blossoms all around…..trunk/body pulsating with light, travelling from the blossoms to the roots…all a-light!!!
ROOT chakra on fire (still is)…wow! Feels somewhat like a bladder infection, huge pressure.
Message" YOU ARE MINE, I AM YOU, YOU ARE ME , twin to METATRON!"
I know METATRON, have worked with METATRON for many years, but you???
Who? What? Sandalfon WHO???
The Archangel Sandalphon is the feminine aspect of the great Archangel Metatron and is one of the great Sarim/angelic-princesses and Archangel.
She is the Archangel of the 10th sphere/sefira called the Malkuth which is situated in the "World 4" or the Universal called Asjiah, which is our physical Universe.
The energi-world Malkhut are the bottom of the "Tree of Life", where the roots spread out in the physical world. From here rise the "Tree of Life."
Sandalphon represents the ultimate earthly spiritual energies. She also helps to encourage contact with spirit world and helps in trance states. She helps people to live for "The Divine Plan". She opens distinguish ability, arouse latent human psychic abilities and show the truth.
Sandalphon is guardian for the maintenance of the physical life and vitality and the quest for eternal prosperity and knowledge. Therefore, she helps humanity with particular to understand everything about your body and senses and to heal through mental and physical disorders.
She also helps with healing plants and animals. She should always be called when we heal ourselves or others and when we heal the Mother Earth. Ask her to help promote the Earth and Universe spiritual energies, or if you must strengthen your root chakra. Because she has a special connection to the bottom of the tree of life, she also has a special connection to the "bottom" of the human body, or rather she wants to help raise the inner spiritual energy in man, which is latent and waiting in the root chakra.
She wants that man learns to reconcile thought, action and commitment, and spirit, soul and body. And she can be call if you wish grounded, calm and sensation. She is the Archangel who distribute the life energy and send it out in the "Physical World" through the "Buddhi-force" /the "Love Energy", the "prayer power", the "Healing power", the "Meditations power", the "telepathy power" etc.
Sandalphon also stands for: courage, silence, Knowledge, Will & Manifestation. She possesses what is called the "materia" / "chaos" which is energy that is both active and passive, a duality that can create physical. Meanwhile, she is the Archangel linked to music and would like to guide you if you should play the right things for you. She wants to teach people to feel the good and positive tones and energies of sound and voice!
One of her main roles is to convey and answer our prayers & mantras and help us to receive angels and Deva response or signs. One can thus ask Sandalfon to convey prayers to the Father/Mother and to receive a clear answer from her again. Because She is even a part of the Great Mother, who can show herselves in various aspects at the same time. For the time is only an illusion.
Sandalphon says that we must create our own lives, because nobody else will do it. We may even find our truths and beliefs, try to find the "Red Thread of Life" and take it in your hand and tail of the step by step to make sense and enlightenment. Therefore, her question to us are : "Quo Vadis" / "Where are you going"? - What do you want with your life here and now? - She wants to see us as a new Elijah, so we all can come out of the karma power and become guides in the heavenly sphere!
Appearance - Sandalphon is so high that she can reach from earth to heaven. The aura of Sandalphon has a healing and soothing, cool turquoise color, as a tropical sea or lagoon below estimates.
The Seal / Sigil / Symbols / Attribute / Character of Sandalphon include:
The Monkey,The altar, The Aquamarine, Aura Soma Bottle No 98-Lilac/Coral, The Crystal Mountain, The Bridge, The beans, The bean wheel, "the 4 elements air, water, fire, earth," "The Magic Circle", "The Red Thread" "The Flaming Sword", "The turquoise sea, The devas, The oak, color as light turquoise & Light Turquoise Green, The Goddess," Eva/Eve, The Sky Ladder ", The dog, The cow, The corn, The cross with equal arms, The lagoons, The lily," The Tree of Life ", The uterus Loop wheel, The Human Body, Marjoram, "Mother Earth", The pentagram with "Adam Kadmon" The Willow Tree, The Porte, The rainbow, The root chakra, The roots, The sphinx, The silk veil, The snake, The Swastika-cross, figure 10, tarotkortene "The four 10 ' is "&" The Four Queens "&" Wheel of Fortune "/" Fate The Wheel "/" The Universe ", the temple stairs, The triangle, The drum, The Tunnel, Turquoise, The Taurus & The Weight bowl.
Archangel SANDALPHON
Archangel Sandalphon is the ruling Angel and Protector of Earth and a Master of music. Sandalphon acts to take our prayers and petitions to God, and is the guardian of our secret thoughts and wishes. Weaves the prayers of people of all Faiths into garlands and wreaths of flowers and then takes them to God for his Blessing. Is said to be one of the tallest Angels, so that he may reach easily from the Earth to the Heavens, although he showed himself to us as being quite small and compact.
Sandalphon is charged with anchoring the Light onto Earth, and will assist us as Lightworkers to do the same, both into the planet and into our own energy bodies. He said "I am an anchor. I act to penetrate a body and anchor myself into it as a conduit of Light energy, keeping things working at root level in accordance with the Divine Plan, whilst simultaneously channelling in Divine Light, supplying all that is required in order for balance, harmony and hence stability to be achieved."
Sandalphon is said to have incarnated on Earth as the prophet Elijah and to have been turned into an Archangel by God. I felt this unlikely, and he confirmed that had never incarnated in human form. It is not that he cannot do so, but that his tasks are so closely linked to the planet and all of the sentient life-forms that inhabit her that it served no purpose to be restricted in that way.
Sandalphon has also been said to be Metatron's twin brother, but I believe their relationship is not as "twins" in the way we might mean. Instead Sandalphon described himself and Metatron as being "Brothers in Arms". He pointed out that in many ways he and Metatron are polarities and mirrors of each other, although they do share many traits - such as love for humanity and the Earth; a joy in serving the Creator; a discipline and sense of positivity and impetus in carrying out the tasks they have agreed and are assigned. They also quite obviously share a similar sense of humour. He went on to clarify how they function as a partnership: "It is not that we are two ends of the spectrum of existence. It is not that Metatron is of one side and I am of the other. The question is the difference wherein the main focus of our work lies. If you were to compare us with your energy body, you might say that he is the Soul Star to my Earth Star.
There needs to be the two that are joined together in some shape or fashion, in order for information to flow from the other to the one, and the one to the other. I show us here (demonstrates) as a circling of energy in a figure eight shape, like an infinity symbol. A constant two-way looping flow of energy and information between heaven and earth, linking the two, both on an energetic level (stabilising and supporting) and also mutually supportive and inclusive of our energies. This flow may be slow and rhythmic; it may be fast and frantic; it may be a mixture of the two. But there is always a harmony, a balance and a rhythm to the energy exchanges that take place, which are orchestrated by myself and Metatron as we work in harmony for this purpose together."
In the Kabbalah Sandalphon rules sphere 10 - Malkhut, which means "Kingdom". Malkhut is linked to Earth, representing the grounded mentally-orientated nature of humanity. Here is the sphere of our everyday life and where we have chosen to use our God-given talents as best we may in order to ground Spirit into physical reality and make a difference in our world. Malkhut concludes the work of the other spheres, for our true role is not that of "disappearing" into the heavens, but of grounding Heaven onto Earth. This sphere is sometimes called Shekhinah - the female presence of God. This is not a "woman" per se, but the feminine polarity of Atzilut - the first world of Pure and Divine Will.
It has been said that, after Source separated into innumerable Divine Sparks of Light, Shekhinah descended to Earth and to humanity in order to be a Vessel for the Divine Light. The Kabbalah says that Shekhinah is one of the ten children of the union between Binah (Understanding) and Chokmah (Wisdom) and that it is her role to bear the human soul. She is described as the unseen, the unwritten truth and the feminine indwelling presence of God. I personally feel, having worked with her, that Shekhinah is within and an element of Malkhut, rather than the sphere itself.
The Presence of Sandalphon and his Stability grounds me.
His earthliness brings me peace.
The energies of the Angels and the Stars bless me.
Awareness, service and freedom is my path.
The secrets of the Earth are mine. You came to this planet as tiny children and were nurtured and grew to adulthood upon her skin. Your spirits are a part of her, as I am also. And it is that link with her that you will find amplified through me. Without the goodness and mercy and tender care of your Earth Mother your physical bodies will not survive, and without her spiritual care your non physical bodies will not be able to fulfil their tasks.
I am earth.
I am sky.
I am all things in between.
Stand with me now and let your feet feel the firmness and love of your Earth Mother. Turn your face to the sky and feel the warmth and love of the Creator. Cradled as you are on this beautiful planet allow your heart beat to slow and merge with the pulse of the Earth. Feel her soul merge with yours. Everything you do and every thought you have affects her, affects your co-travellers and also affects your Self. All depend on each other. It is not an exclusive relationship - everyone is important and every one can make a difference. The choice is yours. But remember I am here for you if you will but call.
I can help you link more closely with the Earth and her mysteries, and to the stars and their mysteries too. Hear my voice in the crashing of the waves on a beach; feel my touch in the drops of rain on your face; and know my love in the kiss of sunlight on your brow.
Think of me as the tall pine in the forest - my strength and timelessness are here for you when ever you need them.

Byron Tiller, happily married with a young child, is a writer whose last novel has ended up in the remainder bins. Down on his luck and struggling to make ends meet, he keeps bashing away, refusing to admit that perhaps he is not that good. One day, at wit's end and feeling sorry for himself, he meets someone who has actually read his book: a rather elegant looking Englishman who introduces himself as Luther Fox. Luther runs an escort agency Elysian Fields, which provides extremely wealthy women with attractive, intelligent dates. Desperate for any job- and Luther guarantees good pay and convinces him that it can be only temporary -Byron reluctantly agrees, keeping the whole thing hidden from his wife. He soon finds himself face-to-face with an extremely attractive woman, whose aging husband is a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist grappling with a novel that may be his last.

|long but nice climb
Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2008
|started at cold springs at 4:10 am, reached the summit at 12:30, took me longer than estimated; hardest part is the snowfield below the false summit, that almost got me; no real need for crampons but could be different in other conditions; glissading was hardly possible anymore in the afternoon;
met a lot of nice people up there;
take care when going down if you glissade down the Crescent glacier, there was a large open crevasse there, but almost no one seemed to mind but me; I missed the right way down the Crescent ridge and (just as warned on the Climbing Report page) got lost on my way down, meaning having to go back another 300m up which finished me;
nevertheless a great trip, best done in my view in one day, beautiful mountain and scenery with Hood, St. Helens and Rainier

|Snow from just above the TH. Lots of melted out tent sites and running water available at Lunch Counter. Visibility was limited on the 6th due to California forest fire smoke.
Made a 5am start from Lunch Counter with crampons. Smoke had blown away and the view was excellent once the sun came up. Reached the summit shortly after 10. Wind at Pikers Peak was 25 to 30 and on the summit, 40+. It took us 3 hours to climb to Pikers Peak and 20 minutes to glissade back down.
Finished off with a great meal at KJ's Bear Creek Cafe in Trout Lake.
|Posted Jul 8, 2008 3:20 pm
|South Spur
Date Climbed: Jul 1, 2008
|Wanted to climb the Mazama Glacier, but the road to the trailhead was still blocked by snow 3.5 miles out from the trailhead. Adding that additional 7 miles round trip to the route was simply out of our league for a single push on the route. The forest service was simply waiting for the snow to melt with no plans to clear the road, so we went up there and in 4 hours cleared the snow and trees from the road, it was awesome! It turned out a youth survival group had just had a team member blow out his knee and was immobile at the trailhead. We arrived in our cars, and they were dumbfounded and emotional to realize they weren't going to have to carry him all the way down the mountain road. Great experience.
We didn't have the strength to do a single push for the Mazama Glacier route any longer, so we did a single push on the South Spur. The terrain is simple and easy, and not quite the Cascade experience we wanted, but hey the mountain was beautiful and we summited, plus the glissades are fun. We'll be back again someday.
|Posted Jul 5, 2008 12:29 am
|Great Climb
Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2007
|Climbed via Mazama glacier. Great weather and views past Rainer. Great base camp at base of the Mazama glacier

In 1991 Indian economic planners officially embarked on a path of macro-economic reform that seemed to jettison the legacy of nationalist protection and redistributive focus that had seen the national economy grow very modestly for the previous four decades. Like other parts of the world that experienced structural adjustment programs or other deep cuts to the developmental state, India, in the last two decades, has also battled perceptions and real shifts that have exacerbated social inequality in the aftermath of liberalization. It is a measure of the anxiety that these shifts have caused to governing coalitions that the National Democratic Alliance lost office in 2004 despite presiding over some of the most spectacular GDP growth India experienced in its entire history. And its successor, the United Progressive Alliance, has reinvented social development investment on an unprecedented scale since 2005 with employment guarantee schemes more ambitious than any seen in the earlier far more overtly socialist period, and plans to greatly expand public spending on essential services and social security or insurance. General elections in 2014, or earlier, will provide a public assessment of the debate on growth with distribution that has gained new currency in the last decade in India. So, we propose, as some state elections conclude, to review this debate in an international conference at Yale.
When we meet in April 2013 we will not merely discuss macroeconomic policy and its evaluations, but explore the connections between inequality and mobility – how one produces the other, and hierarchies change as the people affected by them become footloose. Migrations, especially, circular migrations, are on the increase – providing evidence of enduring poverty, but of also new horizons of opportunity. And as people circulate, their social networks are also altered. Family, neighborhood, community, professional association, and friendship take new forms, becoming differently salient in the reproduction of the individual and the collectivities to which men and women, youth and elders, belong over time. As prevailing norms are challenged they also win inflexible support from influential community leaders. This leads to conflict, violence and regimes of enforcement that are extremely harsh. Thus, changing conditions of inequality, and mobility, have also brought new forms of benign and brutal sociality in the most intimate circles of family and caste.
Broader political formations which may be assessed through caste or ethnic identification or the rise of regional parties or organizations explicitly articulating the aspirations of historically marginalized groups remind us that potentially revolutionary changes in sociality are underway in the public domain as well. And these political expressions and mobilizations may be evidence of the combination of physical and social mobility that is currently manifest in everything from insurgencies in northeast India or central Indian forest regions, or the rise of urban middle classes and poor in support of the anticorruption movements symbolized by Anna Hazare and his fasts.
Some of the themes around which discussion will take place over the three days of the conference include:
- - an overview of scholarship on inequality in India
- hunger, scarcity and vulnerability
- changing aspirations and opportunities associated with development
- media, public culture, and identity
- new forms of sociality created by people as they move

TC TO [SIR GEORGE SINCLAIR OR AN UNIDENTIFIED CORRESPONDENT] ; 8 October 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18591008-TC-SGSOUC-01; CL 35: 230-231
Chelsea, 8 octr, 1859—
My dear Sir,
I have looked over your little ms. of a Dutch Tour in 1736 by your worthy Grandfather;1 whh having now finished, I make haste to return it to you, after such delays. It goes today, by Book post; along with the present Note, unless the Post-Office people use their liberty of detaining it till Monday morning in case of need.
It is a very pleasant, transparently vivacious, cheerful and intelligent bit of Narrative;—I imagined myself to discover a certain family likeness in the Piece; and could have read the whole of it with real entertainment, had it been in print. But the ink is fallen brown, and the hand is occasionally somewhat vague.
It seems to me any respectable magazine wd be happy to print such a thing well edited by you; and perhaps filial piety ought sometime or other to set you on that mode of preserving the innocent interesting little Document?—
As it belongs wholly to 1736, there is nothing in it that can now be of service to me but I did not fail to note, with private satisfaction, what the veridical Tourist says about Wesel, Cleve, and Frh Wilhelm's matters;2 and it was a curious pleasure to me to see, as it were with eyes, the "Effigy of Lieutt Keith" still on the Gallows3 at the former place! Visible enough there to your grandfather and me; one fact there can be no doubt about! I had put a mark at the page last night; but fell out again this morning, and I could not with some effort recover it.— On the whole, I bespeak a Copy, so soon as this little Tour is printed, whh I hope it may some day be.
London is perfectly silent as yet, and there is, for the most part, a very pretty St Martin's Summer4 given us; whh one pensively contemplates, and lives too lazily in the midst of.
With many kind regards and thanks, I remain always
Yours sincerely, /
T. C[arlyle]

Administrators at Buckeye Schools in York Township are breathing a little easier after the state announced it was lifting the district's fiscal caution status earlier this week.
The district, which was placed on fiscal caution in 2009, passed a 7.9-mill property tax levy in August, the first new money issue voters approved in 18 years.
"When we passed the levy, it was a matter of time for the state to certify our five-year forecast and lift the caution," Superintendent Brian Williams said. But announcing to the community that the state recognizes the district's stronger financial outlook was worth celebrating, he said.
"The impact for us is a fiscal picture that's in the black for the next five years. That's what we're most excited about," Williams said.
The district announced the lifting of fiscal caution status at its board of education meeting on Tuesday night. Williams said getting out from under the burden of fiscal caution also means less state paperwork for the treasurer's office.
"We had to supply additional reports to the Department of Education, certifying our funds, certifying what we're doing to address our budget shortfalls," Williams said. "This means our treasurer's department will be freed up to address other issues in the district."
But that doesn't mean the district plans to take its eye off finances. Williams said he promised voters he would watch the money closely and he said that means maintaining the district at the current spending levels.
"We told voters we would simply maintain what we have in place," he said. "If the levy had failed, there would have been a drastic plan in place with 47 cuts."
The levy is expected to bring in an additional $3.2 million annually, but it won't allow for more spending, as the additional money only will prevent the district from going into deficit spending.
Because the levy was only expected to shore up the budget, Williams said there won't be many changes for students. But he warned that an increase in staff retirements this spring could mean a few more teachers in school buildings when classes start in the fall.
Williams said the district has a number of experienced, higher-paid teachers retiring, and the district plans to hire new, less costly teachers in an effort to add a few more staff positions for the same price.
"We think we can hire three or four new teachers at the same dollar amount to reduce class sizes," he said.
