Florida unemployment down to 7.7 percent
TALLAHASSEE - Unemployment continued to drop last month in Florida, slipping to 7.7 percent, its lowest rate in over four years, giving some back-up to Gov. Rick Scott's claim that his job creation efforts are working. Scott also announced Friday that just under 300,000 private sector jobs have been created in Florida since December 2010, the month before he took office. The 7.7 percent jobless rate is the lowest since October of 2008 and is well below the 9 percent rate of a year ago. Florida's rate is also the same as the national 7.7 percent unemployment figure, a key psychological marker of how the state is doing. Earlier this month, state officials reported that Florida unemployment dipped in January to 7.8 percent, below last month's national rate of 7.9 percent. The Florida figure, however, has since been adjusted upward to show that the actual rate in January was 7.9 percent, same as the nation as a whole.Still, Scot has pointed to the rebounding labor picture as proof that �it's working,� his new catchphrase as he heads into next year's re-election, a play on his 2010 campaign motto �Let's Get to Work.� �Our efforts to reduce taxes, pay down state debt and grow the economy, demonstrate our success in growing jobs for Florida families,� Scott said in a statement Friday. The statement noted that the state's jobless rate has dropped 3.4 percentage points since Scott took office, making clear what the governor's main election year talking point will be. Scott went to Amcor Rigid Plastics USA in Orlando on Friday to tout the new employment numbers. The plastics company opened a new manufacturing facility in January, hiring 29 employees. Scott has also made easing tax requirements for manufacturers one of his top priorities in the current legislative session. The unemployment rate in the state has gone down year-over-year, even as the labor force has grown, according to Department of Economic Opportunity statistics, meaning that the drop is mostly attributable to actual job growth, not people leaving the labor force. DEO counted the non-seasonal workforce last month at 9.35 million, up from 9.27 million a year ago. Florida�s seasonally adjusted total non-farm employment was 7,479,700 in February, an increase of about 7,800 over January and up 128,100 from a year ago, a 1.7 percent increase, DEO said. Nationally, the number of jobs increased a little less, 1.5 percent. DEO also noted that home sales in the state have picked up and pointed to a Florida Realtors figure showing the backlog of houses on the market has dropped by 32 percent in the last year. That's even as prices have started back up, increasing nearly 13 percent in that same year. The Keys continue to be the place to be if you want a job. Monroe County had the state's lowest unemployment rate last month at 4.2 percent, followed by Walton and Okaloosa counties in the western Panhandle, and Alachua and St. Johns counties, all below 6 percent. Hendry County in south-central Florida had the highest jobless rate in the state at 10.8 percent. Flagler and Putnam counties also had unemployment above 10 percent.

The bird was seen on the east/right side of the blacktop road that takes you down into the main part of Camden State Park and was first sighted in the wooded area to the east approximately 85 feet before the start of the right side guard rail where the road curves west to cross over the railroad tracks. I watched the bird for seven or eight minutes before it flew further back into the woods adjacent to the grassy hillside.

Great mirror, just had a lot of pitting on the finish. It took three orders and returns of flawed ones, before I settle on one that has less pitting on the base. Too bad it is made in China with careless hands.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Remember that time Attack of the Show! guest host Jessica Chobot got a little too excited about ejaculation on live television? Miraculously, she was invited back, and she did not disappoint. It's Thursday's Teleprompter Bloopers: Part 2!
First of all, here's the official version of the segment in question, in which Jessica gets a little silly while discussing the latest radio-controlled contraptions:
That clip was edited, however, to exclude this little bit of failure as Chobot attempts to set up the next segment, an interview with Outsourced, Drew Carey Show, and Office Space star Diedrich Bader:
Conspiracy theorists take note! Both G4TV and E! are headquartered in the same building in L.A. Could yesterday's teleprompter foibles be related? Perhaps there was a "Support Prop 19" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_19_(2010)] rally in the cafeteria at lunchtime?
Here's the actual Diedrich Bader interview, if you're interested. Did you know that he's also the animated voice of Batman?

This mini edition of the world famous design classic "Block Lamp" is always the selection of the hour, when one doesn't want to renounce excellent design for space reasons.
Designed in the year 1996 by the Finnish designer Harri Koskinen, the Block Lamp is represented in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).
Since the introduction of the block Lamp by the company Deisgn House Stockholm, the lamp has really been covered with design awards, such as the Excellent Swedish Design (1999), the Design Plus Award (1999) or the Best New Product on the Accent Show in New York (1999), to only name a few.
The Block Lamp consists of hand made clear glass, produced in a sophisticated cooling process that offers the typical illusionary appeal of a huge ice cube to the lamp. Both glass halves surround the illuminant (E 12 – 230V/15W) and ensure a moody illumination on the table or as floor illumination in the corridor or the living room. Optionally also there is a wall fixture out of lacquered iron available for the Block Lamp, making the lamp an exceptional wall lamp.
Because of the 10th anniversary, the Design House Stockholm published the lamp with different coloured textile covered electric cables.
The illuminant is included in the delivery package!Also in our blog:

Obama's recent budget plan has raised perpetual arguments on his efforts for reducing tax load on middle-class by introducing 'Buffet rule' for wealthy Americans.
Two-year rule for equitable relief is scrapped. Read on to know what it means and how it benefits you: the innocent spouse.
Our complex tax code often makes us hand over our hard earned money as taxes when in fact we were eligible for a deduction.
The new bill makes provision for builders suffering losses in 2008 and 2009 to claim refunds from the tax paid in the previous five years.
One of the things you loathe is sitting down and sorting out your taxes. You are happier having someone tell you 'this is the amount of tax you will have to pay for this year' and paying it out, rather than sitting down and going through the painful process of calculating the tax due.
I want Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's plan to save the banks to work. I want banks to jettison all the crap on their balance sheets and allow taxpayers to profit. Everyone does. It'd be the ultimate victory during an economic collapse where nothing has gone right
You finally get down to the bottom line of your tax return, and the balance due to Uncle Sam is much more than you expected. In fact, it's more than you can afford to pay. You've dug through the couch cushions and checked all your pants pockets, but all you got was $26.55 and a lot of lint.

Breaking Down The Preseason Performances
Saturday, 10.1.2011 / 10:18 PM ET / News
By Mike Ulmer - Mapleleafs.com commentator
The Leafs preseason ended with Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings and let me just say the notion of an exhibition season report card strains credulity.
It's preseason for God's sake. Scientists, some from accredited institutions, say that come February the average hockey-loving adult devotes just as many memory cells to the preseason as he does to his sixth grade science fair.
Veterans are playing their way into shape. Long shots who walk through rookie camp and onto the big league roster come around as often as regime changes in Libya. Contracts, the financial mechanics of the game and a half-dozen other factors put the lie to the notion that the preseason actually matters. For most players, the whole point is to not get hurt.
Very well then, let's get to it.
The Best:
Mikhail Grabovski: Pulling away as the Leafs' best forward, Grabovski limped off the bench in the Detroit game after taking a pass in the foot. An X-ray showed no break. Grabovski is playing as hard now as he did last season. Guy is a gamer.
Jake Gardiner: Gardiner endured a horrific night Saturday. Twice he let his man go for tap in-goals, a perfect scoring chance scooted over his stick and he was caught-flatfooted on a breakaway. That said, Gardiner has been the Leafs best defenceman in the preseason. He is offensively unconscionable but fast enough to atone for virtually any up-ice mistake. He has excellent puckhandling, passing and shooting skills. He sees the ice as well as anyone on the team. He is a difference maker and it will be usually good but sometimes bad. The reasons for and against keeping Gardiner are legion. Playing 25 minutes a night in the minors probably wouldn't hurt his development but keeping him with the big club benefits him through the mentorship of John-Michael Liles, an offensive defenceman who himself was schooled by Rob Blake in Colorado.
Dion Phaneuf: Phaneuf has delivered a good preseason and inched his game up confidently through his four games. He looks ready to go and shows no signs of a backslide after a superb finish to last season.
Mike Brown: Brown came off the injured list blocking shots. He scored twice in his first preseason game. If you are going to just play two games, might as well show your best.
John-Michael Liles: Nothing not to like about Liles whose speed and puck movement skills were desperately needed.
Matt Frattin: In his first big-league preseason, Frattin has looked very good. His game is well-rounded and Leafs coach Ron Wilson snapped heads back when he predicted Frattin would be a better pure goalscorer than Nazem Kadri. The knee injury to Kadri means he has a spot.
Carl Gunnarsson: Slow starter the last two years has delivered a polished performance. Just getting better.
The Next:
Mike Komisarek: After a summer of excruciating attention to a raw food diet, Komisarek must be down about 20 pounds and seems a hair more mobile. If he is your fifth or sixth defenceman, you're fine.
Tyler Bozak: After a two-goal night in his first preseason game, Bozak has been tripped up by injuries and played in just two games. No problem with his play in the slim body of work.
Nikolai Kulemin: Solid and as usual the consensus choice for the Leafs top two-way forward.
Clarke MacArthur: Was delivering a nice camp until suspension. Won't be back until October 15.
Joey Crabb/Darryl Boyce: Dedicated pluggers treat every game, preseason or not, as if it could be their last. Honest guys who could earn a place on the fourth line.
Colby Armstrong: Consistent, smart player rounding nicely into form after injury-decimated season.
Nazem Kadri: Drew your gaze but had only two assists in five games before lost for two to four weeks with a knee injury.
Jay Rosehill: Another honest player who seems destined to provide up-front grout.
Jonas Gustavsson: Probably outplayed Reimer for what it's worth. Solid showing.
Luke Schenn: As low key as always. You only notice Schenn when he errs which is to say hardly at all.
The Rest:
Phil Kessel: Good thing he gets paid for what he does in the regular season. He leads the team in shots, which is good. Has one goal, which isn't: "I would have liked to have seen hi, score a few more goals for his own confidence," said Leafs coach Ron Wilson. "Phil is going to have a good week of practice and bear down and score in practice. Then he will feel good for his game against Montreal."
Joffrey Lupul: Who?
Cody Franson: A slow transition for Franson who has played both the left and the right side.
Matt Lombardi: Too soon to tell anything but his first game in a year passed without incident. Will take a while for his great speed to re-assert himself. Could be the windfall acquisition of the off-season.
Keith Aulie: Okay.
James Reimer: Passable preseason for Reimer but no sign of last year's game changer. The regular season doesn't start until Thursday, for crying out loud. "You don't like to give up four goals in a game but as far as the fundamentals are concerned, I am feeling better by the game," Reimer said. "I think I am in a good spot mentally and physically."
Briefly: Mike Zigomanis won 19 of 22 draws and was sent steadily into the dot after Grabovski left the game with a minor foot injury. Grabovski should be good to go for Thursday's opener against Montreal. The Leafs will announce their next cuts on Monday. The two-game suspension meted out to Clarke MacArthur might mean a reprieve for Zigomanis who played well against Detroit. Wilson said Connolly wasn't recovering as well as he had hoped from an upper body injury so it's impossible to predict whether Connolly will play against Montreal. Tyler Bozak has been practicing and should be good to go.

Cranston, R.I.-Senior Tim Leigh (Somerset, MA) was the individual champion and earned Player of the Year honors, finishing first among a field of 40 golfers, as Rhode Island College captured its third consecutive Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Men's Golf Championship on Sunday afternoon at Cranston Country Club.
The Anchormen finished first in the nine-team field with a two-day score of 609 (305, 304; +41). RIC will head to the 2014 NCAA Div. III Men's Golf Championships, which will be held at The Grandover Resort in Greensboro, N.C. in May. It is the club's third straight league title and NCAA Championship appearance.
RIC entered the day two strokes behind Southern Maine, but made up the ground to outdistance second place UMass Dartmouth (623: 310, 313; +55) by 14 strokes.�
Southern Maine (624: 303, 321; +56) and host Johnson & Wales (625: 306, 319; + 57) rounded out the top four.
Leigh earns All-GNAC honors by shooting a two-day score of 147 (71, 76; +5). Sophomore Jonathan Cooper (Berkley, MA) also attained All-GNAC status by tying for fourth overall with a score of 152 (77, 75; +10).
Junior Patrick Ford (Halifax, MA) shot a score of 153 (77, 76; +11) and tied for seventh. Classmate Ryan Butler (Windham, NH) placed 15th with a score of 157 (80, 77; +15).
Freshman Corey Patalano (Cranston, RI) tied for 23rd with a score of 166 (80, 86; +24).
In upcoming action, Rhode Island College will close out the 2013 fall season by competing at the 2013 New England Intercollegiate Golf Association (NEIGA) Championships, held at the Captain's Course in Brewster, Mass. on Oct. 27-28.

MORGANTOWN - West Virginia University's top two pass-catchers continue to draw closer to 1,000 receiving yards after seven games.
Sophomore Stedman Bailey now has 41 receptions for 764 yards and six touchdowns, while junior Tavon Austin has 48 receptions for 624 yards and two scores. Those two rank 1 and 2 in the Big East and also are high among national leaders.
Bailey leads the conference in receiving yards and touchdowns, but Austin is the conferences's No. 1 in passes caught.
Article Photos
However, both remain on course to become 1,000-yard receivers in the same season. It would be a first in Mountaineer history.
Bailey, who is averaging 109.1 receiving yards per game, needs just 236 to turn the trick. He continues to break his school record with 100 yards or more in five consecutive games.
Austin is averaging just under 90 yards per game, and he's 376 yards short of 1,000. He caught six passes for 60 yards in last week's 49-23 upset loss at Syracuse. He also ran one yard for his only touchdown in that game.
Bailey's touchdown among his seven receptions and 130 yards that night covered 64 yards in grabbing quarterback Geno Smith's accurate delivery.
The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Bailey enrolled at WVU the same year Smith did. Both came form Miami's Miramir High School. Those two got a lot of experience pitching and catching footballs.
Bailey was redshirted a year here. He started in nine games last season and had 24 receptions for 317 yards and four touchdowns.
Austin, a 5-foot-9, 170-pound native of Baltimore, is a second-year starter. After six games this year, he ranked third in the nation in all-purpose yards and No. 1 in the Big East with 193.5 per game.
He's also among NCAA leaders in number of receiving yards and passes caught.
In 2010, Austin logged 58 passes for 787 yards and eight touchdowns. His longest reception was 71 yards.
The Mountaineers (5-2, 1-1 Big East) are preparing for another road game this week. It's at Rutgers (5-2, 2-1).
The Scarlet Knights are coming off a league loss against Louisville.

Friday, January 29th from 7:30 AM to Noon, the Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate at the University of San Diego held their 14th Annual Real Estate Conference. There appeared to be 650 to 700 people in attendance. This was a wonderful event and a very impressive audience (a Who'sWho of the San Diego and California real estate industry).
FIN 180 and FIN 183 students, we will discuss some of the information presented and discussed at this conference, but let me post a few points, before I forget, from the keynote speaker, Sam Zell.
*Rules of the game are changing day by day in Washington, DC. Investors do not like this type of playing field and this is not good for US investment.
*He sees little to no commercial development over the next 5-years (I quote Mr. Zell: "developers should go to medical school").
*No new commercial development is good for existing commercial property owners (basic supply and demand).
*The coming commercial downturn is overblown and will be "benign" compared to the residential market mess. Cap rates will not skyrocket. Remember the relationship between cap rates and property values from FIN 181?
*62% homeownership rate in the US is appropriate. We got as high as 69% homeownership a couple years ago and we are currently at 64%. Almost there.
*Mr. Zell is also an advocate of a strong US dollar. Keeping the US dollar as the World's reserve currency is critical.
Sam Zell is chairman of Equity Group Investments LLC, a private Chicago-based investment firm he founded over 40 years ago. He also serves as chairman of Tribune Company, a media conglomerate owning the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times.
Special thanks to USD faculty member, Vivek Sah, for inviting me to the conference.

"What's in the bag?"
That's a question often asked of the golf pros--especially when they win.
But Thursday we found out that oftentimes it's not just what's in the bag that's an important question...it's "Who's on it?"
Their job is a tough one--lugging a 40-pound golf bag up and down a hilly Augusta National.
But the job of the caddy is much more than heavy lifting...or club selection.
Golfers often depend on them for a different kind of support--the emotional kind.
Caddies are proof that winning a major is really a team sport...something CBS Sports' Jim Nantz has seen time and time again.
"It's like a marriage," Nantz says.
And sometimes it's an unlikely pairing.
Fanny Sunneson is always recognizable on the fairways as one of few women on the bag, but she's not the first one.
That honor goes to Elizabeth Archer.
Name sound familiar?
Elizabeth was only 19 when she caddied for her father George Archer at the 1983 Masters.
Elizabeth's mom, George's wife Donna, says it was a magical time.
"He'd hit a couple bad shots and she'd say, 'I love you dad', and he liked it, but he said, 'Thanks, but don't say that here'," Donna says.
Elizabeth had no problem carrying that bag--she was a track and field athlete at Stanford at the time.
As for dad's winnings that year? He tied for 12th and won $10,000.
We asked Elizabeth if her dad shared those winnings with her--and she said he did more than his part by paying for her college education.

The Boo Radley Foundation - Healing Man and Man's Best Friend
The Boo Radley Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit corporation established to benefit humans and canines through funding canine brain cancer research and clinical trials. The Foundation also provides assistance to pet owners whose dogs have been diagnosed with brain cancer and are participating in a clinical trial.
Historically, malignant brain tumors have been resistant to treatment and among the most lethal forms of cancer in both humans and dogs. A little more than a decade ago, medical researchers determined that dogs develop the same types of malignant cranial tumors found in humans, which in turn led to dogs serving as pre-clinical models for new brain cancer treatments prior to human testing. The result has proven beneficial to both humans and dogs.
While advances in veterinary medicine and diagnostics make the confirmation of a canine brain tumor more readily available, the financial costs of the diagnostics and treatment are well beyond the means of many American families. The Boo Radley Foundation is committed to increasing awareness of new diagnostic techniques and treatment options, providing information on clinical trials, and financially supporting dog owners who enroll their dogs in a clinical trial.
In order to continue sponsorship of clinical research and provide assistance for treatment, the Boo Radley Foundation needs your help. Please consider making a donation. Any amount, no matter how great or how small, will be appreciated and well-used.

Eliminate Chaos: The 10-Step Process to Organize Your Home & Life
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Time: 7 p.m.
Renton Highlands Library, 2902 NE 12th St., Renton 98056
The Master Builders Association of Snohomish and King Counties is pleased to present a variety of free consumer classes to assist with your home projects. Click here to look for classes by subject or click here for a printable listing of upcoming classes. Be sure to invite a friend!
- Do you have too much chaos at home and in your life?
- Do you have trouble finding things when you need them?
- Do you purchase duplicate items because you can't find what you are looking for?
- Do you often tell yourself "I'll get organized....someday?"
- Are you overwhelmed with no idea where or how to get started?
- Do you write "get organized" on your New Year's resolution list every year and then decide the task is just too daunting?
The good news is you're not alone! Getting organized is the third most common resolution on everyone's list, yet people generally spend more time adding to the disorganization rather than making any significant steps towards eliminating it. Did you know that about 80 percent of clutter in a home is caused by disorganization, not lack of space?
Attendees will leave feeling empowered to take action so that next year "organization" is not on your New Year's resolution list.
Four Program Takeaways:
- What the three biggest organizing mistakes are and how to avoid them
- Why "It's Not About the Stuff"
- What Laura's 10 steps are to organize any room in your home
- Simple changes that make a powerful impact on daily activities
Length of program:
1 hour, plus Q&A
Laura Leist, Organizing Consultant, Eliminate Chaos
Master Builders Association member Laura Leist has walked her own talk about getting more done to allow "More Time for Life®" since launching Eliminate Chaos in 2000. Laura is a published author of eight books, including the best-selling "Eliminate Chaos: The 10-Step Process to Organize Your Home & Life." She is Washington state's go-to organizing, downsizing and relocation expert the media turns to for TV, radio, newspaper and magazine interviews.

During a race I hit a hill or over pace mayself and I can feel the suck as the energy drains from my arms and legs. I've used a heart monitor in the past to stay below the threshold, which works but I'd like to bump up the threshold. In training I do speed work and as I see it I have a choice that I'd like some expert comment on. Today I was doing 8 miles with a few 1/2 mile V02 max "sprints" at a 5:49 pace. All was going well. My recovery pace was 7:30 on the third round VO2 max "sprint" at 3/10th of a mile the suck set in. I could feel it in my forearms and legs. Here is the choice, pull back at that point or push on and complete the 1/2. I know from experience that the recovery after the suck is almost non-existent, I will devolve into a base pace and finsh the race on that. But if breaking the bank in training is going to increase my threshold, I'm up for it. If its just going to run me down then I will back off and focus on trying to shorten my recovery time between VO2 max "sprints" like the original method of intervals. What say you?
First I have a couple comments.
- Interval repeats aren't "sprints". They're a fast pace based on your race pace, usually 5K.
- When you hit a repeat that gets difficult, that means it should be the last one. Finishing it is OK but you shouldn't try for more.
- If you hit a point in a race where you completely lose the ability to continue at your pace, and you're not within spitting distance of the finish, then you were going too fast to begin with.
That said, the generally accepted way to increase that pace is through tempo runs (aka lactate threshold runs). Warm up for a mile, run at tempo pace for 20 - 30 minutes (can be longer, depends on what you're training for), go back to warm up pace for a mile. Tempo pace is considered the maximum pace you can hold for an hour, usually 10-mile or half-marathon race pace.
Good luck.

In Germs, Genes and Civilization, Dr. David Clark tells the story of the microbe-driven epidemics that have repeatedly molded our human destinies. You'll discover how your genes have been shaped through millennia spent battling against infectious diseases. You'll learn how epidemics have transformed human history, over and over again, from ancient Egypt to Mexico, the Romans to Attila the Hun. You'll learn how the Black Death epidemic ended the Middle Ages, making possible the Renaissance, western democracy, and the scientific revolution. Clark demonstrates how epidemics have repeatedly shaped not just our health and genetics, but also our history, culture, and politics. You'll even learn how they may influence religion and ethics, including the ways they may help trigger cultural cycles of puritanism and promiscuity. Perhaps most fascinating of all, Clark reveals the latest scientific and philosophical insights into the interplay between microbes, humans, and society - and previews what just might come next.show more

""Clear, thoughtful, and thought-provoking, "Germs, Genes & Civilization" makes the case that infectious diseases have played a major role in shaping society. Clark argues that religion, morals, and even democracy have all been influenced by the smallest and most dangerous organisms on our planet. While you may not accept every argument, you will be stimulated, entertained, and enlightened."" Samuel L. Stanley, Jr., M.D., President, Stony Brook University, and former Director of the Midwest Regional Center for Excellence in Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases Research ""Clark presents an insightful explanation of the invisible history all around us. He conveys the essential facts in a riveting and engaging manner that everyone, including the nonscientist, will find exceptionally interesting and revealing."" Michael C. Thomsett, author of "The Inquisition" """Germs, Genes & Civilization" is a fascinating and well-balanced account of how a wide variety of different kinds of microbes have influenced human evolution, culture, society, and even religious thought. Written for a lay audience, the relationships between genes and disease resistance and susceptibility are clearly discussed, and the book concludes with a sober assessment of what may be in store for us in the future."" Irwin W. Sherman, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Riverside, and author of "Twelve Diseases That Changed Our World" and "The Power of Plagues" The Stunning Hidden Interconnections Between Microbes and Humanity AD 452: Attila the Hun stands ready to sack Rome. No one can stop him--but he walks away. A miracle? No...dysentery. Microbes saved the Roman Empire. Nearly a millennium later, the microbes of the Black Death ended the Middle Ages, making possible the Renaissance, western democracy, and the scientific revolution. Soon after, microbes ravaged the Americas, paving the way for their European conquest. Again and again, microbes have shaped our health, our genetics, our history, our culture, our politics, even our religion and ethics. This book reveals much that scientists and cultural historians have learned about the pervasive interconnections between infectious microbes and humans. It also considers what our ongoing fundamental relationship with infectious microbes might mean for the future of the human species.

Q. Why do Ruku and Nathan have to leave their land?
Because the tannery buys it from the renter
Because they are no longer able to harvest any crops
Because the Ouija board told them to
Because they have received death threats
Q. What is Puli missing?
His eyes
His fingers
His tongue
His José Conseco rookie card

Segway Tours of Anchorage
Guided Segway tours of downtown Anchorage Alaska
Anchorage History
Anchorage is located in Southcentral Alaska. To the east the Chugach Mountains serve as the backdrop for the city's magnificent skyline. To the west are the expansive, steel-colored waters of Cook Inlet, named after the explorer Captain James Cook who sailed into the area in 1778. In 1915 row upon row of tents popped up in the Ship Creek area as the construction of Alaska's railroad got under way. Soon plank sidewalks were added, storefronts went up, and the town grew. Anchorage was incorporated as a city in 1920, with its first bank robbery occurring six months after incorporation. The number of people living in Anchorage by 1929 had grown to 2,736.
Though steadily growing, Anchorage remained a relatively small frontier town until the beginning of World War II. When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Anchorage found itself on the front lines of the conflict. Airfields, roads, and other infrastructure were constructed during the war. After WWII, the infrastructure was left behind, creating the framework for Anchorage's development. During the war, Anchorage's population exploded from around 8,000 to more than 43,000. Anchorage leaders wrestled with accommodating the influx and worked to improve water, sewer, and utility systems. Another benefit after WWII was the boom of aviation that spread throughout Alaska. Along with the construction of many airfields during the war, the military equipped its pilots with the finest in electronic equipment and devices for flying safely. These enhanced facilities made life easier for the bush pilots who, beginning in the 1920s, had become a critical part of life in Alaska.
In 1951, Anchorage International Airport was completed. With its strategic location, Alaska became the air crossroads of the world after new air routes were introduced between the North Pacific and Asia. The airport was renamed Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport in 2000 after Alaska Senator Ted Stevens. Oil was discovered on the Kenai Peninsula in 1957. Seventeen oil companies set up headquarters in Anchorage and spent more than $30 million dollars on exploration.
On Jan. 3, 1959, Congress voted Alaska into statehood.
Anchorage again experienced tremendous change when the earth cracked open on Good Friday, March 27, 1964. The strongest earthquake ever to hit North America, measuring 9.2 on the Richter scale, ripped through Anchorage, leaving death, despair, and destruction in its wake. Recovery was phenomenal. In Anchorage's pioneering style, the city was rebuilt with lightning speed.
In 1968, oil was discovered on the Arctic Slope, north of the Brooks Mountain Range. As lease sales were finalized, the mood was jubilant. There was a lot of oil, but transporting it from the North Slope was a problem. The Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) was proposed in 1969. It met with tremendous opposition from environmentalists and other groups. Also in 1968, the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act was finalized, bringing the issue of land rights to closure. Twelve native corporations were organized along geographical boundaries. A 13th corporation was formed for those Alaska Natives living outside of the state.
In May of 1972, Congress granted authorization for construction of the oil pipeline. Construction began in 1974, with oil flowing from the North Slope to the ice-free port of Valdez in 1977. Alaska has never been the same since.The price of a home in Anchorage quadrupled. There were no apartments for rent. The city was bursting at the seams. New construction spread like wildfire; new homes were erected, businesses expanded, and Anchorage grew. More attention was given to the development of culture and the arts. The George M. Sullivan Arena, William A. Egan Civic & Convention Center, and Alaska Center for the Performing Arts were built.
Health was also a concern. Anchorage's hospitals expanded services, bringing the high technology of the fast-moving medical industry to Alaska and dramatically improving the quality of health care.
Today, Anchorage is a thriving city with more than 300,000 residents. In 2002, it was named an All-America City by the National Civic League.

GAME: Tampa Bay Lightning (34-27-4) at Ottawa Senators (43-15-5).
TIME: Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. EST.
Playing at home for just the second time in more than a month, the Ottawa Senators will try to continue their dominance over the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Senators have won seven straight against the Lightning and 17 of the last 20 meetings. Ottawa, which is going for the season-series sweep of the defending Stanley Cup champions, has outscored Tampa Bay 16-3 in three matchups this season, including a 4-0 shutout on March 6.
The Senators will be back at Scotiabank Place after going 4-1 on a season-high five-game road trip. Ottawa wrapped up the road swing with a 5-2 victory Sunday over the Washington Capitals, improving to 38-0-0 when scoring at least four goals.
Dany Heatley and Jason Spezza each had a goal and two assists while Wade Redden, Patrick Eaves and Chris Neil also scored for the Senators, who have won seven of their last eight games.
"Ten days on the road is a long time," said Ottawa rookie goalie Ray Emery, who finished with 25 saves and backstopped the Senators to the shutout over Tampa Bay earlier this month. "We wanted to bear down today. It will be nice to get back to our own beds for a few nights."
Ottawa's only home game since the Olympic break ended was a 7-1 victory March 2 over Washington.
Peter Schaefer left Sunday's game with a hip injury, but practiced Monday. He has recorded two goals and two assists in three games against Tampa Bay this season.
Heatley and Spezza each have a goal and three assists against the Lightning.
The Lightning will try to wrap up a five-game road trip with consecutive wins for the first time since Feb. 9-11.
Tampa Bay notched just its second win in seven games with a 2-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Monday. Sean Burke made 31 saves and Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis each scored as the Lightning moved one point ahead of the Canadiens in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
Tampa Bay is in seventh place with 72 points, two points behind New Jersey.
"We haven't won too many 2-1 games lately so it's nice to get those and feel confident," said St. Louis, whose short-handed goal helped him reach 20 for the third straight season.
Lecavalier has recorded a point in four consecutive games and six of the last seven with four goals and three assists.
Neither player has fared well against Ottawa this season. St. Louis has just two assists and Lecavalier one goal in three games.
STANDINGS: Lightning - 72 points, 2nd place, 20 PB, Southeast Division. Senators - 91 points, 1st place, Northeast Division.
TEAM LEADERS: Lightning - Lecavalier, 28 goals; Brad Richards, 48 assists and 67 points; Pavel Kubina, 84 PIM. Senators - Heatley, 37 goals; Spezza, 49 assists; Heatley and Daniel Alfredsson, 80 points; Neil, 157 PIM.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Lightning - Power play: 15.1 percent (58 for 384), 26th in NHL. Penalty killing: 82.4 percent (263 for 319), 16th. Senators - Power play: 20.3 percent (82 for 379), 3rd. Penalty killing: 85.8 percent (325 for 379), 3rd.
GOALTENDERS: Lightning - John Grahame (23-17-1, 5 SO, 2.94 GAA); Burke (11-9-3, 1, 2.92). Senators - Emery (15-5-1, 2, 2.79); Mike Morrison (10-4-2, 2.83).
SEASON SERIES: Senators, 3-0.
LAST MEETING: March 6; Senators, 4-0. At Tampa, Fla., Emery made 31 saves for his second career shutout as Ottawa got goals from four different players.
ROAD/HOME RECORDS: Lightning - 18-15-2 on the road; Senators - 23-6-1 at home.

So much for science:
Al's Gore's much-anticipated sequel to An Inconvenent Truth is published today, with an admission that facts alone will not persuade Americans to act on global warming and that appealing to their spiritual side is the way forward.
This is from the Guardian, which explains both the misspelling of "inconvenient" and the dumb assumption that Gore has been trading in facts even up to this point. It also explains the claim that this book is "much anticipated".
In his latest book, Holy Moly It's the Rapture! The Rapture, People! I Can See Poley Bears Huggin' in Heaven, Yes I Truly Can! [actual title: Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis – ed], the man who won a Nobel prize in 2007 for his touring slideshow on disappearing polar ice and other consequences of climate change, concludes: "Simply laying out the facts won't work."
Correction: laying out your "facts" hasn't worked. Those of us in the – what's the phrase? – "reality-based community" are quite happy to argue science and data and such.
"I've done a Christian [-based] training program; I have a Muslim training program and a Jewish training program coming up, also a Hindu program coming up. I trained 200 Christian ministers and lay leaders here in Nashville in a version of the slide show that is filled with scriptural references. It's probably my favourite version, but I don't use it very often because it can come off as proselytizing," Gore tells Newsweek.
You, Al? You, of all people, coming off as "proselytizing"?
Since 2007, the former vice-president has been calling experts together from fields ranging from agriculture to neuroscience to discuss possible solutions to climate change.
The book draws on 30 such "solutions summits", as well as Gore's countless telephone conversations with scientists at America's best institutions.
Some of them will soon be eligible for supervised home visits.
According to the book's press release, "Among the most unique approaches Gore takes in the book is showing readers how our own minds can be an impediment to change."
Our own minds are the enemy! Don't free the minds – imprison them!
Since 2007, the former vice-president has been calling experts together to discuss possible solutions to climate change. He has also held countless telephone conversations with scientists at America's best institutions.
Haven't we already seen this? Oh, I forgot … Guardian. Or maybe global warming is causing random paragraph duplication. Next, something that – if true – should be front-page news:
Gore explored new studies - published only last week - that show methane and black carbon or soot had a far greater impact on global warming than previously thought. Carbon dioxide – while the focus of the politics of climate change – produces around 40% of the actual warming.?Gore acknowledged to Newsweek that the findings could complicate efforts to build a political consensus around the need to limit carbon emissions.
So CO2 accounts for less than half of the warming that isn't happening anyway. Yes, this could complicate things. It could complicate things a great deal.
"Over the years I have been among those who focused most of all on CO2, and I think that's still justified," he told the magazine. "But a comprehensive plan to solve the climate crisis has to widen the focus to encompass strategies for all" of the greenhouse culprits identified in the Nasa study.
The encompassing strategy to deal with soot should be interesting. Big Soot won't stand idly by and let Gore get away with it, of course. I say this as someone who is obviously in the pay of Big Soot.
On Saturday, he told the German newspaper, Der Spiegel, he was "almost certain" Obama would attend the [Hopenchangen] negotiations.
Well, Gore's call on CO2 was accurate enough. Maybe if enough interfaith prayer is involved, Obama will materialise for the climate talks.
UPDATE. Poor little science gets another shove:
The head of the group leading the fight against climate change has accused countries of pushing science aside in favour of self-serving ''political myopia'' ahead of the vital Copenhagen summit.
Come on, science. Fight back!
UPDATE II. Science responds:
A Peruvian scientist has called on his country to help slow the melting of Andean glaciers by daubing white paint on the rock and earth left behind by receding ice so they will absorb less heat …
[Eduardo] Gold says the paint that would be used is environmentally friendly and made from a base of lime, without chemical components.
It could be made by local residents and could create some 15,000 jobs over five years, he added.
Way to go, science.
Have Your Say
That man has no shame. None.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (05:28am)
Wed 04 Nov 09 (05:56am)
Al Gore, High Priest of the Mother Gaia Globular Worming cult is far above such petty human emotions like "shame" or "humility"…
Wed 04 Nov 09 (09:01am)
No shame? Heck he (Gore) has no freaking idea of what reality is. He needs treatment.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (07:41pm)
Al Gore offsets his shame with greed.
Gore is entering into damage control mode. People aren't buying the CO2 canard anymore, so he's got to expand his list of culprits in order to squeeze a few more million out of the con.
Interesting, though, that he's now admitted environmentalism is a religion.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (06:02am)
Wed 04 Nov 09 (07:48am)
Interesting, though, that he's now admitted environmentalism is a religion.
And it's more about the collection plate than renouncing our eco-sins.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (09:29am)
"Interesting, though, that [Gore]'s now admitted environmentalism is a religion."
A religion? It's much more than that.
It's a nasty, repressive, narrow-minded cult.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (10:19am)
I think the '200 Christian ministers' (if indeed if that's not a figure exaggerated by Gore) ought to go back to The Bible (try the Gospel of Matthew) and familiarise themselves with the bit where Jesus tells us to be 'as harmless as lambs but as wise as serpents'.
AGW as an entire premise is egomaniacal and nothing more than a modern day Tower of Babel.
A planet which has been around since Creation is going to 'die' because we exhale? I don't think so.
Frankly, I believe the concept of AGW and is misanthropic and evil.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (01:46pm)
Good call, Nora.
It's interesting how AGW effectively puts humanity in the place of God; we (supposedly) being the only creatures capable of saving the planet from extinction - according to the AGW lobby.
While this idea might appeal to the collective human ego (and could even explain why some people embrace AGW), it logically undermines any call to place faith and trust in God.
(Ironically, the Bible actually describes supplanting God with ourselves in deciding how we live our lives, as about the most complete definition of 'sin' that you can possibly get!)
Also interesting to note is that the Bible concludes with a prophecy about the return of JC; an event that will inaugurate eternal paradise on earth for all believers.
For AGW-believers to want to preserve the planet in its current, broken-down state, is thus utterly pointless, counterproductive, and arrogant; God's gonna restore it anyway (once the last believer comes to faith in Him). Implied in this, is that humanity won't completely wreck the joint in the meantime.
Thus, all this division, argument, and conflict over AGW is ultimately a waste of time - and the Good Book agrees!
Wed 04 Nov 09 (11:27pm)
I quite agree JJM.
He's a nasty, represive, narrow-minded cult!
Wait, there's something wrong with the spelling there.
the former vice-president has been calling experts together from fields ranging from agriculture to neuroscience to discuss possible solutions
Neuroscience??? Maybe for brainwashing voters or possibly learning how to apply the "boiling frog" demonstration to taxpayers.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (06:44am)
Wed 04 Nov 09 (01:45pm)
Why don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire?
Don't worry about Gore - he's only the High Priest. We'll have a truckload of martyrs soon enough.
Or should that be a prius-load?
Wed 04 Nov 09 (06:48am)
Wed 04 Nov 09 (11:20am)
How does a Prius-Load of martyrs abandon a truckload empty of facts? They jump into the water to save the polar bears or fly to London to buy their frocks.
After the latest facts that were revealed by Lord mockton that should have been front page news it clearly shows that all the models are wrong and all the claims are fraudulant ,methane by the way is not self sustaining and is dissapated by the sun , no one even knows what part it plays while it exists in the atmoshere, all money for the fraud should be rufunded and Gore who is already being sued by scientists should be charged with fraud like anyone else who gains money for lies . And Wong ,Turnbull ,Krudd ,you should all be ashaned of yourselves for running this sick scam on the public ,flooding in 100 yrs ,give me a break ,you cant even predict a week ahead you morons.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (07:09am)
¨The encompassing strategy to deal with soot should be interesting. Big Soot won't stand idly by and let Gore get away with it, of course. I say this as someone who is obviously in the pay of Big Soot¨.
Get with the plan, fella.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (07:16am)
Wed 04 Nov 09 (03:29pm)
Soot is the very embodiment of sequestered carbon… I thought that was supposed to be good. I'm so damned confused!
He plans to address and deal with all greenhouse gases?
What, exactly, is his plan to deal with the #1 GHG?
Which just happens to be water vapor.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (07:21am)
George 'Moonbat' Monbiot admits:
There is no point in denying it: we're losing.
Climate change denial is spreading like a contagious disease.
He blames oldsters:
Almost all my fiercest arguments over climate change, both in print and in person, have been with people in their 60s or 70s. Why might this be?
Possibly because they're old enough to remember:
The New Ice Age
The Population Explosion
Oil running out.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (07:30am)
Wed 04 Nov 09 (12:04pm)
And also the oldsters will be people who do not necessarily have to rely on the guvmint for funding of their jobs. So they can say what they want without fear of serious reprisal.
Gore acknowledged to Newsweek that the findings could complicate efforts to build a political consensus around the need to limit carbon emissions.
You know what else complicates these efforts? Science and common sense.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (07:32am)
Al's Gore's much-anticipated sequel to An Inconvenent Truth is published today, with an admission that facts alone will not persuade Americans to act on global warming and that appealing to their spiritual side is the way forward.
But don't you dare call it a religion, sciencedammit.
Methinks AGW has now officially jumped the shark while f***ing the chicken.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (07:55am)
our own minds can be an impediment
Boy, you gotta get your mind right.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (08:03am)
The worlds first Big Green Billionaire is full of sh*t. Try reading the works of Canadian Climatologist Prof Tim Ball or Polish Glaciologist Prof Jaworowski. Facts don't agree with the fat one so he appeals to your spitituality.
Yes have faith children.
Greens sicken me.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (08:43am)
Wed 04 Nov 09 (05:03pm)
What about your "yellows"? Come now, finish everything on your plate, or there'll be no dessert for you.
In some ways this is becoming increasingly good entertainment!
Wed 04 Nov 09 (08:47am)
Gore downplaying the role of CO2 this close to Hopenchangen is not going to help KRude's or Bambi's ambitions.
That's lefty politics for you.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (08:49am)
When you see a fat leftard who can't get his commie taxes on the air we breathe to fruition start to back-pedal; it is beyond hilarious that the next thing he wishes to tax to bring about his utopian dream is methane. This guy probably produces more methane than a dairy farm yet he as the high priest of Giaia will again preach one thing and do the other. Maybe South Park wasn't so far off with the episode of the Hybrid Pious cars and sniffing ones own flatulance - "no, no, I'm thooper therial". Man I hate the left.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (08:58am)
A rare picture of the world's new evil mastermind - Big Sooty!
Wed 04 Nov 09 (09:32am)
A bit off-topic, but still to do with loony Greenies…
London Mayor Boris Johnson has come to the aid of the director of "Age of Stupid" who was being attacked by a group of hoodie-wearing young girls.
Documentary film-maker and climate change activist Franny Armstrong was walking home when she was pushed against a car by the girls.
She called out for help to a passing cyclist, who turned out to be Mr Johnson.
He chased after the girls, waving the iron bar they had dropped and shouting 'oiks'.
Valiant Mr Johnson,45, then returned to the shaken woman, Franny Armstrong, and insisted on walking her home.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (09:37am)
The black carbon thing is a scream because it turns the whole man-made climate change debate on its head. The man-made sources of atmospheric black carbon are:
1 Diesel fuel (40%) which is slap to all those eco-Europeans insisting we all buy diesel cars;
2. Biofuels such as the coal, wood and dung used in domestic fires of developing and third-world countries (20%); and,
3. The deliberate burning of forests and grasslands in third-world countries (40%).
What doesn't create black carbon are first world coal-fired power stations, jet airliners and petrol engined cars. So the good guys are us, the Australians and the Americans. Well, except for those climate vandals who bought diesels. Shame on you.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (09:41am)
Wed 04 Nov 09 (10:22am)
These guys are amazing. After $20b + of research, it turns out that ACTUAL pollution is more of a problem than CO2 emmissions. Send more money.
Wed 04 Nov 09 (11:53am)
Alas, the expectation will be that we should send truckloads of money to the third world so they can move to our more efficient methods of power generation.
I also lets the Gorpulent one slightly off the hook for having mansions that consume enough energy to make Stephen Hawking blush.
I love the word "cluprit"
Growing up, I was always the only one looking for cluprits.
They're still around and we can't relax our guard.
Dyslexiics of the world: UNTIE!
Wed 04 Nov 09 (09:56am)
It is enlightening to watch a pseudo-religion being born before our eyes.
In 2006 Al told us that CO2 caused global warming, which would destroy earth....it was 100% science.
Now he has switched an unpleasant end caused by 40% CO2 (science), and buttressed with 60% religious fervour.
Planning is now underway at Gore mansion for Stage 3 in 2012. The prophet will announce the imminent destruction of Earth due to Obama losing the election, bad thoughts and greed (i.e. insufficient donations to Gore carbon trust).
