(55) (i)
(a) The terms
(b) It should be noted that section 1 of the Davis-Bacon Act limits minimum wage protection to laborers and mechanics "employed directly" upon the "site of the work." There is no comparable limitation in section 107 of the Act. Section 107 expressly requires as a self-executing condition of each covered contract that no contractor or subcontractor shall require "any laborer or mechanic employed in the performance of the contract to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to his health or safety" as these health and safety standards are applied in the rules of the Secretary of Labor.
(c) The term
(a) It is the intent of the Congress to provide safety and health protection of Federal, federally financed, or federally assisted construction. See, for example, H. Report No. 91-241, 91st Cong., first session, p. 1 (1969). Thus, it is clear that when a Federal contract calls for mixed types of performance, such as both manufacturing and construction, section 107 would apply to the construction. By its express terms, section 107 applies to a contract which is "for construction, alteration, and/or repair." Such a contract is not required to be exclusively for such services. The application of the section is not limited to contracts which permit an overall characterization as "construction contracts." The text of section 107 is not so limited.
(b) When the mixed types of performances include both construction and manufacturing, see also § 1926.15(b) concerning the relationship between the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act and section 107.
(a) A contract for "construction" is one for nonpersonal service. See, e.g., 41 CFR 1-1.208. Section 2(e) of the Service Contract Act of 1965 requires as a condition of every Federal contract (and bid specification therefor) exceeding $2,500, the "principal purpose" of
(b) The Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act requires that contracts entered into by any Federal agency for the manufacture or furnishing of materials, supplies, articles, and equipment in any amount exceeding $10,000 must contain, among other provisions, a requirement that "no part of such contract will be performed nor will any of the materials, supplies, articles or equipment to be manufactured or furnished under said contract be manufactured or fabricated in any plants, factories, buildings, or surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary or hazardous or dangerous to the health and safety of employees engaged in the performance of said contract." The rules of the Secretary concerning these standards are published in 41 CFR part 50-204, and express the Secretary of Labor's interpretation and application of section 1(e) of the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act to certain particular working conditions. None of the described working conditions are intended to deal with construction activities, although such activities may conceivably be a part of a contract which is subject to the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act. Nevertheless, such activities remain subject to the general statutory duty prescribed by section 1(e). Section 103(b) of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act provides, among other things, that the Act shall not apply to any work required to be done in accordance with the provisions of the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act.
(a) The prime contractor and any subcontractors may make their own arrangements with respect to obligations which might be more appropriately treated on a jobsite basis rather than individually. Thus, for example, the prime contractor and his subcontractors may wish to make an express agreement that the prime contractor or one of the subcontractors will provide all required first-aid or toilet facilities, thus relieving the subcontractors from the actual, but not any legal, responsibility (or, as the case may be, relieving the other subcontractors from this responsibility). In no case shall the prime contractor be relieved of overall responsibility for compliance with the requirements of this part for all work to be performed under the contract.
(b) By contracting for full performance of a contract subject to section 107 of the Act, the prime contractor assumes all obligations prescribed as employer obligations under the standards contained in this part, whether or not he subcontracts any part of the work.
(c) To the extent that a subcontractor of any tier agrees to perform any part of the contract, he also assumes responsibility for complying with the standards in this part with respect to that part. Thus, the prime contractor assumes the entire responsibility under the contract and the subcontractor assumes responsibility with respect to his portion of the work. With respect to subcontracted work, the prime contractor and any subcontractor or subcontractors shall be deemed to have joint responsibility.
(d) Where joint responsibility exists, both the prime contractor and his subcontractor or subcontractors, regardless of tier, shall be considered subject to the enforcement provisions of the Act.

NME have finally published an apology to Morrissey to end one of the longest-running public feuds in music
One of the longest-running public feuds in music history entered a new phase yesterday when NME published an apology to Morrissey for a feature that the singer claimed had twisted his words to deliberately portray him as racist. The apology ended a five-year libel action pursued by Morrissey following the publication of the interview in 2007, during which he bemoaned the loss of English identity.
For the past 30 years Morrissey has maintained a relationship with the magazine that has swung between mutual admiration and accusations of racism, but it wasn't always that way. Back in the 1970s, Morrissey was

Hochevar has the distinction of being drafted in the 1st round two times, including 1st overall in 2006. However, his stuff doesn't look dominant and I suspect he has already lost some velocity since his college days.
He'll vary the fastball between his straight 4-seamer and his running 2-seamer. The former Volunteer will drop in 12 to 6 curveballs to all hitters. The curve looks like a plus pitch at 80 mph. Hochevar has constantly tinkered with his repertoire during his Royals career. He's now throwing lots of cutters and has added a splitter. The cutter is a big part of what he's doing in 2011, while the splitter basically flies like a straight changeup. Luke still has a standard slider as well.
I've seen Luke begin games with a fastball/cutter/curve combination, before mixing in his slider and splitter during the second time through the lineup. Hochevar is sloppy with his mechanics at times, giving the appearance that he loses focus. Hochevar would likely be best served by simply finding four pitches he could rely on, instead of attempting to trick batters with a full tool belt. Hochevar still has promise, but has lots to prove at the major league level. 6/9/11
[2-seam fastball(90-94), 4-seam fastball(93-95), curve(76-81), cutter(88-91), slider(82-87), splitter(80-84)]

Albany, New York – The Girls Scouts of Northeastern New York is proud to announce that Felicia Dodge, a Girl Scout Ambassador, received $1,000 as a recipient of the ABC Summer of Service Award in September. Felicia a resident of Schenectady County has been a Girl Scout for seven years.
"The ABC Summer of Service Awards, in collaboration with Disney Friends for Change, is an initiative that inspires kids and their families to make lasting, positive change by helping people, communities and the planet." The goal of the award is to showcase ongoing youth-led projects that highlight the creativity and commitment of young people working to meet the needs of others and to help these young community leaders with their mission to help others."
ABC had three key requirements:
• Applicants must be between the ages 14 – 18, located in and around ABC-affiliate communities
• All applicants are required to have a sponsoring organization or school
• Applicants must have already implemented a service project in their community
Felicia submitted her Gold Award project that addresses the lack of vocational training institutions in Haiti. She is establishing a sustainable sewing program at a local school in Gonaives, Haiti. The school is going to be provided with sewing machines, fabrics, needles, thread, patterns, oil and any other necessary material for lessons.
Felicia entitled her project "Invigoration" because it will provide a vital opportunity through sewing classes, for young men and women to learn a skill, make living, and provide clothing for themselves and their families.
The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest and most prestigious award that a Girl Scout aged 14-18 can earn. Since 1916, it has stood for excellence and leadership. It challenges girls to make a mark on their community that creates a lasting impact on the lives of others. Nationally, only 5.4% of eligible registered Girl Scouts receives the Gold Award each year.
In order to sustain the project, Felicia is creating a sponsor program to fund the purchase of sewing machines. She will reach out to companies, local businesses, families and Girl Scout troops to sponsor a machine. Sewing material for the school will be obtained by organizing drives to collect new/gently used fabrics, thread, needles, etc. Additional financial support will come from Felicia's $1,000 award money to help with shipping costs.
Felicia Dodge has joined the ranks of generations of young women who have and will continue to make a difference in their communities and beyond.

'Soccer fan' Tom Cruise attends Manchster derby saying Beckham was jealous he wasn't there
Published 10/12/2012 | 10:36
Mission impossible star said he was a fan of the 'great game' since the 1980s
The Hollywood star travelled to the Etihad Stadium to watch the crunch match between champions City and the current leaders of the Barclays Premier League, Manchester United.
Always a maverick, the American actor said he had been watching English football since the Eighties and predicted a "great game" between the top two.
Defeat for City would open up a six-point gap at the top of the table, which would be difficult to close against an in-form United.
"This is the first game that I've seen in England," Tom said on Sky Sports 1.
"I've been following it since the Eighties so I'm just excited that I'm able to be here."
The Jerry Maguire actor is friends with David Beckham and he revealed the former England captain had sent him a message ahead of the game.
"He wishes he was here. I got an email from him, he's jealous that I'm here," Tom added.
Apocalypse Now actor Robert Duvall was also at the game, but appeared to be a little rusty on the rules.
He said: "Will there be a shootout today? No. If it's a tie? No."
However the star was also there to witness the ugly scene when Rio Ferdinand was struck by a coin on the head thrown from the crowd during the game.

There is a big push in the BSA, and our Country right now to get fit. Why? Because it makes sense. Fitness leads to longer, happier lives. This has been at the fore front of our Troop now for a few months as we are preparing for our first trip to Philmont.
In 2010, I was active with the National Jamboree contingent for our council. There was a big push for fitness in getting all of our youth and adults in shape. It was important to us as Oregonians heading from a very temperate climate to the hostile humidity and heat of Virginia. We started a walking challenge. Every adult leader was required to wear a pedometer and record mileage walked. The goal was to walk (in miles) to Virginia and back. The 4 adults leaders of my Troop walked the equivalent of 3 trips to and from Oregon and Virginia. We were all concerned about the health and well-being of our Scouts and what a better way to help them than to set a good example.
Well, now Philmont is right around the corner and as we prepare, I can't help but notice that I have let myself go a little. Today I took the Physical Wellness online training at the e Learning site on Scouting.org. I had to renew my Youth Protection anyway, so while I was there, I thought I would see what the BSA had to say about Physical Wellness. I have to tell you that the training information was good. I enjoyed the training until I got to the part where they ask you to check your BMI. Yep.. reality check.
So I took a look at myself on paper.. then went to the mirror and decided that enough was enough. Heading back to the Scouting.org website I revisited the BSA Fit site. There I checked out the blogs of many of the leaders of the BSA and how they are doing in the Walk the Walk challenge. This lead me to the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award. I found that in the ScoutStrong program, most if not all councils are encouraging members to join the challenge.
I created an account with the Presidents challenge and set up my challenge to earn the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award.. along with my friends from the council. The ScoutStrong PALA+ is a neat way to track your progress and get fit.
I need to lose 10 pounds before I get to Philmont. Today I am within the guidelines and my BMI is just over where it needs to be, so its time to lose the fat and get fit.
Now I am not going to update every piece of bread I eat and each ounce of sweat I drop. It drives me nuts to read about everyone loosing or gaining an ounce here and gram there. But I do want to share my journey to getting fit and more importantly a life of being well. I consider myself in ok shape and certainly not fat. But I can stand to get in better shape and get to a weight that my body will like better. We are not getting younger and I see myself very active in the years to come.
I would encourage you all to take a look in the mirror and see whether or not you are fat or fit. It was a wake up for me to see that if I did not start now.. I would be heading in the wrong direction.
You can download the ScoutStrong PALA log from the website. Join up and track your progress. Personal Awareness and accountability are keys in successfully accomplishing your goals.
Join me and let's get fit!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Fat or Fit
There is a big push in the BSA, and our Country right now to get fit. Why? Because it makes sense. Fitness leads to longer, happier lives. This has been at the fore front of our Troop now for a few months as we are preparing for our first trip to Philmont.
Devils Half Acre
Here is a short video of our Troops last adventure. We loaded up and headed to the intersection of the Historic Barlow Trail and the PCT. From there we packed up the Pulk Sleds and hiked down to Devils Half Acre and set up camp. Saturday Morning we woke to fresh snow and lots of it. We strapped on the snow shoes and took a nice day hike out to Grindstone camp ground. Sunday Morning, we again woke to new fallen snow, ate breakfast, packed and hiked back to the trail head. Then it was off to Joes Donuts, the last trip for the year to the donut shop.
The audio on the video got a little messed up, so after the music turn it up, then turn it back down when we start hiking out on Sunday..
Hope you enjoy the video.

Founders Day 2012
When we teach our Scouts about setting goals and accomplishing tasks, we always start with their vision. We ask them to take the time in their mind's eye and see what the outcome is going to look like. What do they want to see in the end.
Imagine with me for a moment what the vision in Lord Baden Powell's minds eye looked like for Scouting.
What a wonderful program BP founded. What an awesome movement, one unlike anything the world had seen, and one that stands the test of time, governments, wars, economic hardship, and prosperity.
Happy Founders Day to all of my Brothers and Sisters in Scouting!
Have a Great Scouting Day!
…and Morally Straight.
What do we mean when we talk about "Morally Straight"? How do we explain that to our Scouts when our Scouts come from many different backgrounds, family dynamics, and religious beliefs?
Simply put, a Scout is clean in thought, word, and deed.
We had a situation in my troop recently where a concerned parent approached us because her son had been Googling "Questionable" subjects. In the discussion, it became clear that this new Scout had heard some words and ideas from an older Scout and decided to ask google rather than mom and dad what it meant.
Now before we go on, it should be said that the older Scout has had a talking to and this is the message that not only he got, but a great opportunity for me to share "Morally Straight" with the Troop.
You see, as a Scout we make a promise to keep ourselves, among other things, Morally Straight.
That means that we do our very best to stay clean in our thoughts, our words, and our deeds. IF we think nasty thoughts, then we may want to take action on them. IF we say nasty things, then we violate the promises we make in the oath and law. And if we are nasty in our deeds or what we do, we chip away at our character.
Most of what we are talking about is how we act towards women. It is truly the mark of a good man to treat women with respect and dignity. Being morally straight drives how we treat the ladies of our lives. How a man loves and treats his wife is perhaps the most important lesson that he can ever teach his children. How men treat women in general is a real test to what the character is of that man. If we are thinking about women in a less than respectful way, then we will show that in our actions and our words. Women are not "Chicks", they are not objects to be googled. They should be held in high regard and treated well.
So if you find yourself searching the internet with less than moral intentions, or find yourself telling jokes that paint a nasty picture of women, or if you find yourself acting on something that popular culture has deemed acceptable, but you know in your heart that it is not morally straight.. stop.
Never make yourself a liar. You make a promise when you say the Scout Oath. This promise is binding among men of character. You will lose that when you act without being morally straight.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Scouting- A Way of Life
Picked this up along the way.. it still rings true today.
The Scout Oath and Law are a system of principles, and the program of Scouting is the method of making these principles work in the lives of boys. Let your boys know that the Oath and Law are the rules of the Troop. Scouting is a great game. Boys want to know the rules. When the ideals of the Scout Oath and Law become practical guides for the games, they then become a code to live by.
Keep in mind as you go along that the purpose of Scouting is"'…to promote,…the ability of boys to do things for themselves and others, to train them in Scoutcraft, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and kindred virtues,…' by placing emphasis upon the Scout Oath or Promise and Law for Character development, citizenship training, and physical fitness."
Knowing the purpose of Scouting and the means of achieving it, you will have made a giant stride in the direction of building good men.
Finally, remember that as the first Scoutmaster Handbook put it- "Our purpose in this Boy Scout Movement is not to exploit methods, not to glorify organizations, not to honor Scoutmasters, but to lead boys into useful lives."
– The New Scoutmaster, Boy Scouts of America, 1958
As much as we all have tried to say this in other words.. that pretty much sums it up.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
"Listen Lord, oh listen Lord,
As I whisper soft and low.
Bless my Mom and Bless my Dad,
For these are things that they should know.
I have kept my Honor bright,
The Oath and Law have been my guide.
Mom and Dad this you should know,
Deep in my heart I love you so."
Today I simply want to thank my Mom and Dad. 46 years ago today they introduced me to the world.
And the rest they say… is history.
Love you Mom and Dad!
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Preaching to the Choir
During this last years recharter we had an extremely disappointing turn in of the Journey to Excellence form. As a District committee we chalked this up to a couple of things.. perhaps it was that many people were not aware of the change in program. Maybe some Scouters did not receive proper or inadequate training on the subject. It could have been that the program was not communicated effectively. Another reason may have been that some Scouters just don't care enough to fill it out. Then again, it may have just been that there are units out there that really are not delivering the promise and would not fill out the form for any reason.
I will go on record and say that the answer is All of the Above. (In my opinion).
So rather than simply complain about it.. I figured that the right thing to do, because I love Scouting and believe in the program, would be to tackle the issues and start with training.
So I volunteered to teach about the JTE program and give out all the tools that would make a unit successful in at least getting the 2012 form in with their charter in November.
So back in January, I announced that we would hold a JTE session at the February Round table. I made arrangements with the Round Table commissioner and we decided that this would be a great class. We could have all levels of Scouting attend and present the information in a clear and easy to use format.
I made copies of all of the materials and even used my own Troop as an example. I made copies of our spreadsheet JTE tracker and our goals for this year. A sample budget was included as well as the Pack, Troop, and Crew requirements for 2012.
Last night at Round table, the room was set and I prepared to teach this subject of which I have developed a passion for. 7 people showed up for the training. 7. 2 of them were Assistant Scoutmasters from my Troop, 1 was a Scoutmaster of a high performance troop that is using the JTE tools and is delivering the promise of Scouting. 2 were Cub Scout leaders that I assume got a lot out of the class. They had great questions and seemed to be very interested in getting this ball rolling within their Packs. 1 was an Assistant Scoutmaster of another Troop that is always in the hunt for Troop of the Year, and finally a committee member from on of the LDS units in our District. She had never heard of JTE and took lots of notes. She informed me that she thought that this was all done at the Stake level.. but wanted to know more so she could get the program started with the Troops she worked with.
7 Scouters.
85 units did not bother to fill out and turn in the form during the last recharter process.
So essentially last night I preached to the choir… again.
As I drove home from Round table last night my mind was filled with disappointment which of course drove me to thinking about the other areas in which we fall short in our District, Council, and of course the BSA.
Mostly I think it comes down to training. We do a fantastic job of getting people to help. Just look at the numbers.
1.1 Million volunteers currently serve the youth of Scouting. 1.1 Million. Now I am no fool, and I know that in any population you will never get 100 % of the folks to do anything, but we need to try right?
So we have lots of Scouts that deserve the best, and we have lots of volunteers that have at some level made a commitment to give their best, and yet we don't.
Lets assume that my District (which I consider a real great district) is representative of most if not all districts in the BSA. First, lets throw out some numbers again… bear with me here. Remember that I said 85 units in my district did not bother to turn in the JTE form. My district has 129 units in it.
In 2010 the BSA reported that there were 47,259 Cub Scout Packs, 40,099 Boy Scout Troops, 8,539 Varsity teams, and 18,856 Venture Crews. That would be a total (in 2010) of 114,753 units in the BSA.
So assuming everything is equal, 40,000 units within the BSA did not turn the JTE form this last year. Now I do not know this to be true.. I am just looking for a solution. IF that big a population within an organization that makes it its business to deliver the promise of Scouting to the 2 million (plus) Scouts that come to us allows this to happen.. then I think it is worth a review. Not a change in the Journey to Excellence program. It is rock solid.. after all its all about making every unit the best. It follows the methods and places its focus on what is important.. serving Youth!. No, it does not need to change. What needs to change is how we present, train, and work with units to ensure that the program (both the Scouting program and the JTE) are being followed. Units that are in need of help need to get it.
I think this is where the commissioner service comes in… and there again.. we are preaching to the choir… assuming again that your district is like mine.. where are all the commissioners? We are in need of good commissioners that are dedicated to making every unit a great one.
There are many ways that we need to attack this. I think that we have a huge disconnect here and it will not get better as long as we keep preaching to the choir. The choir is fine and is singing loud and clear. It is the folks that don't want to sing that we need to reach. It is the people we never see, it is the countless applications that come through the council that never get a hand shake or a visit. It is the volunteers that are not reached by hands on training or a friendly invite to Round table.
As much as I am a big fan of computer based training.. I think we may have lost some of the contact by going away from class room training. We need to connect with the 1.1 million volunteers, or what ever that number is in your District and not only fix this JTE problem, but get more leaders trained, active, and taking on rolls that complement their skills, attitudes, and level of committment within the District. We need commissioners that actually pay visits to their units. Commissioners that do not wear multiple hats in Scouting. Commissioners that can take the time to work with and mentor unit leaders.
We need to get a bigger choir! I'll have more to say on this later… I am curious to hear what you have to say about all this… leave a comment!
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Larry says it well
On the heels of a great JLT weekend and Troop elections, it is fitting that Clarke Green, fellow blogger and podcaster posted an article today that nailed my thoughts. The article was written by Larry Geiger, a contributor to Clarke's blog and regular commenter here on the Scoutmaster Minute Blog.
So rather than me rewrite what Larry has so succinctly said..
Go to his blog and read this. Well done Clarke/ Larry… Bravo!… and thanks!.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Modeling the Expected Behavior
This weekend, our Troop conducted Junior Leader Training. Because we have so many young Scouts, we decided to do things a little different this year. This year, wanted to ensure that the leaders clearly understood what was to be expected as a leader. Instead of the typical classroom environment, we took the training out doors where we do the leading. An over night camping experience in which the Scouts attending the training committed to doing everything right. The committment of the Scouts that arrived on Friday evening at Camp Discovery was apparent from the word go.
We built a camp fire and pulled our chairs up close. The theme for the weekend was Modeling the Expected Behavior. What that means to the Scouts of our Troop is that as leaders they need to set the very best example that they can. As examples they model the behaviors that we expect to see from the rest of the Troop.
So this weekend, the leaders learned about the Teaching EDGE, Leading EDGE, Ethical decision-making, Communicating effectively, and Learning to teach. The leaders shared expectations and demonstrated to one another what "Right looks like". This morning after teaching one another how to properly pack gear, leave no trace, and cook a meal, they spent some time on the C.O.P.E course working on team development.
At the end of the training it was time for reflection and reinforcing the theme of the weekend. Modeling the Expected Behavior.
This theme will be the driving force for the rest of the year. It is the hope of those that attended the training that they will affect a positive change in the Troop. They all understand that as they go, so will the rest of the Troop.
In my opinion this was the best Junior Leader Training session I have seen our Troop do. There was a clear understanding at the end of the training and I too feel that the Troop will better for it. With so many young Scouts in the Troop and more coming at the end of the month, Scouts that are willing to take responsibility and be the very best example by modeling the expected behavior, will be have a lasting impact on our unit.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Forbes Billionaires 2013: The Top 20
1. Carlos Slim Helu & Family $73 Bln
Telecom, Mexico Age: 73
Slim is the world's richest person for the fourth year in a row, up $4 billion from our 2012 list.
Pan-Latin American mobile telecom outfit América Móvil remains his most valuable holding, at $36 billion; the company spread its wings to Europe in the past year, buying pieces of Dutch telecom firm KPN and Telekom Austria. Slim also bought a stake in a struggling Spanish soccer team in November.
2. Bill Gates $67 Bln
Microsoft, United States Age: 57
Bill Gates, the world's most generous philanthropist, has already given more than $28 billion and has been spreading his gospel to other billionaires near and far: He and Warren Buffett added 12 non-Americans to their Giving Pledge in February, bumping the total to 105 high net worth individuals. As chairman, Gates still owns about 5 percent of Microsoft but admitted that the company's early mobile phone strategy was "a mistake".
3. Amancio Ortega $57 Bln
Zara, Spain Age: 76
Ortega is the year's biggest gainer, up $19.5 billion. He stepped down as chairman of Inditex, best known for Zara, in 2011, but still owns nearly 60 percent of its shares, which soared 50 percent year-over-year on record profits. Ortega also has a real estate portfolio estimated to be worth more than $4 billion. The son of a railway worker, he started out as a golfer in a shirt store.
4. Warren Buffett $53.5 Bln
Berkshire Hathaway, United States Age: 82
Buffett slips out of the top three for the first time since 2000, despite gaining $9.5 billion. In February, Berkshire announced a deal with Brazilian billionaire Jorge Paulo Lemann's 3G Capital to snap up iconic ketchup producer HJ Heinz Company for $23 billion. Completed radiation treatment for prostate cancer in 2012.
5. Larry Ellison $43 Bln
Oracle, United States Age: 68
Software titan's fortune rose $7 bill-ion along with Oracle's shares. Ellison is investing tech earnings in property, spending a reported $500 million for the Hawaiian island of Lanai in 2012. His daughter Megan's film Zero Dark Thirty was nominated for an Academy Award. Ellison has donated at least $445 million to his foundation to support research on ageing and age-related diseases.
6. Charles Koch $34 Bln
Diversified United States Age: 77
6. David Koch $34 Bln
Diversified United States Age: 72
The world's richest brothers failed to unseat Barack Obama as President in 2012, as the conservative firebrands had planned, but Koch Industries forges ahead with $115 billion in estimated sales and rising earnings from refining, building materials and consumer products.
Fun fact: Their Georgia Pacific group apparently sells approximately $1 billion in toilet paper a year. Charles is CEO in Wichita, while David—the richest New Yorker—runs the chemical technology side.

Local retailers vie for holiday dollars
The holiday shopping season is as important to Debbie Shearer, owner of Finney's Chocolate Shoppe in Cambridge Springs, as it is to Sears, Kmart or Macy's.
Bill Kirner, owner of House of the Potter in North East, said small businesses and countless others probably wouldn't survive if it weren't for an annual burst of income from holiday shoppers.
But they, along with a long list of other small business owners in the Erie area, are quick to admit they can't win the war of the doorbuster that will draw customers on Black Friday.
That doesn't mean they won't be competing for a share of our holiday shopping dollars.
But the strategy is different.
Cheryl Zalik, owner of Wild Birds Unlimited on West 26th Street, said small retailers have to provide service and merchandise that customers can't find elsewhere.
"Our mix of things is really something that isn't duplicated anywhere else," she said.
Zalik, who has been in business for 24 years, said she tries to bring the same approach to service.
"We serve hot beverages while people shop. And if it's a gift, we take off price stickers and put things in boxes for our customers. We try to do our best."
Shearer has no illusions about Black Friday. She knows the big crowds will be miles north of her on Peach Street.
But she figures she and other small business owners have a fighting chance if they cater to their customers. For her, that means customizing orders and gift wrapping her boxed chocolates.
"We try as hard as we can to make everyone happy," she said.
Joelyn Bush, 27, of Lake City, won't be heading to Peach Street to do her holiday shopping.
"I consider myself a buy-local champion," she said. "I like how much more of your money stays local. I say spend local so that people who invest in Erie stay in business."
Bush expects to vote with her wallet on Saturday on Small Business Saturday, an effort launched by American Express.
Bush said she understands the allure of a good deal. But she hopes to find hers at the Colony Plaza and Kraus Department Store.
"I love the uniqueness of it all," she said.
Local merchants all have their own ideas about what that means.
For Kirner, it means selling his pottery and paintings as well as the works of about 40 other artists, many of them local.
For Steve Brugger, owner of Lake Erie Ultimate Angler, 3737 W. 12th St., it means focusing on the well-defined niche business of fly fishing.
"It gives us a uniqueness I don't think any other shop in the area can offer," he said.
Just because he won't be opening before sunrise on Friday doesn't mean every day of the next month isn't important to him.
"We are like every other retail shop," he said. "December is a large chunk of our business."
Vivian Pietrzak, owner of Serendipity Emporium at 126 High St., Waterford, defines unique as giving her customers a different sort of shopping experience.
While crowds are descending on Peach Street retailers, she'll be holding a four-day open house over the long weekend, offering customers refreshments and free gift-wrapping.
"It's a lot more personal and a lot more fun," she said.
The stakes are high for many small merchants, Kirner said.
"People don't realize the hardships small businesses go through," he said. "If they (consumers) want these specialty stores, they need to do business there and keep them alive."

Shortcuts to Stylish Nails
Many women like to show off their individuality with their manicures and aren't satisfied with simple solid polish designs. Nail art has become a major trend with women of all ages showing off unique patterns and prints on their fingers and toes.
A nail art manicure at a salon can be expensive and inconvenient, leading many women to look for ways to create nail art looks at home. Polish strips and stickers are offered for ladies who want unique results from their at-home manicures but don't have the time to experiment with nail art techniques or who lack the steady hand required to get flawless results.
Stick-On Something Pretty
The fastest way to a stunning nail art look is a manicure or pedicure sticker. Nail stickers are thin pieces of vinyl or similar materials that are already printed with patterns like polka dots, strikes and geometric prints. On the backs of the stickers are tabs that can be peeled off to expose a layer of adhesive.
Once the backing is off, adhering the sticker is as easy as pressing it against the nail and smoothing it in place. Then, you can use a nail file to buff away any excess material to make the sticker a perfect fit for your nail. Nail stickers can be peeled off when you're ready to change your look. Otherwise, most will stay in place for a few days to a week.
Applying Polish without the Brush
If you want your nail art look to last a little longer than a stick-on design, you can choose nail polish strips for your manicure shortcut. Polish strips feature patterns that are made out of real nail lacquer.
To use a strip, you peel off the backing and then press the strips onto your nails. Like stickers, polish strips can be filed to fit them to the shape of your nail. Instead of peeling off, the strips are removed with nail polish remover. Most strips provide results that last for 10 to 14 days.

I'm a day late but I wanted to post another OCR recommendation. This one is for nsonic79 who commented on last week's post that he liked Perfect Collection Dracula Battle, which I hadn't heard of but judging from a quick google search seems to be rock arrancgements of classic Castlevania tunes. So, Sonic, this should be right up your alley
Hopefully next Monday I'll remember to post another. If anyone else has any generic requests, let me know.

Search teams looking for 15-year-old Abigail Hernandez made two unrelated discoveries Saturday in Conway. They found the body of a missing hiker and bone fragments from another missing person, officials said.
"It involved the tragic loss of a hiker, very close to here who passed away, and we had to call the medical examiner for that," said Maj. Kevin Jordan of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. "One of the line searchers recovered bone fragments from a missing person a number of years ago."
A medical examiner was called to the scene for each discovery.

Video: Marcus Smart Has Huge Flop vs. Kansas
January 19th, 2014| by Lost Lettermen
Saturday was not the finest hour for two potential NBA lottery-bound guards when it came to flopping.
First there was Andrew Harrison's egregious acting job against Tennessee. Additionally, Oklahoma State star PG Marcus Smart did his best bad kung-fu movie impression against Kansas, pretending to get hit by an elbow from KU's Wayne Selden when, in fact, Selden's elbow hit nothing but air.
Jayhawks fans on Twitter were quick to turn Smart's flop into meme material.
One more (cred to http://t.co/xzhvqh1ZZg message boards): A different girl taking out Marcus Smart #Flop #Bieber pic.twitter.com/MCSXHhEIlm— Scott Chasen (@ScottChasen1994) January 19, 2014

Heck, even the Kansas City Star had fun at Smart's expense in recapping the 80-78 KU victory.

Child Health and Economic Crisis in Peru
Christina H. Paxson
Princeton University; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
Norbert Schady
World Bank - Development Research Group
The World Bank Economic Review, Vol. 19, Issue 2, pp. 203-223, 2005
The effect of macroeconomic crises on child health is a topic of great policy importance. This article analyzes the impact of a profound crisis in Peru on infant mortality. It finds an increase of about 2.5 percentage points in the infant mortality rate for children born during the crisis of the late 1980s, which implies that about 17,000 more children died than would have in the absence of the crisis. Accounting for the precise source of the increase in infant mortality is difficult, but it appears that the collapse in public and private expenditures on health played an important role.

This is a good list for beginners – it would be good for beginners to have a little bit of direction about what to choose for WordPress Ecommerce, I know when I was first starting out I was confused by all the options and eventually chose Woocommerce, but it would be good to get an idea of the pros and cons for each. Thanks!
Too bad, Easy Digital Download didn't make to the list. It's probably one of the best plugins to sell digital items. Btw, also take a look at ManageWP.org, they pretty much have similar service with Remove WP but with more advance features.
I did try one of the ecommerce wordpress theme 'Ready to go' I downloaded that for free and could not make it easy to work. Do you have suggestion for me to download the best yet easiest ecommerce theme for my next project. I am a bit struggling to manage the options and patters in the present on marganto.com
Thanks, A very useful information.
Good article! thank you so much. Found uses for some of their projects and so very grateful for the information. Best regards, Davias!

Need some tax help ....
- 21 Replies
Ok so we got a notice in the mail saying they are holding this years return because they do not have a file for taxes in 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011. Which is BS because we DID file. We have never missed any years. Heres the issue, we can not find the paper work ANYWHER. Im sure we used Turbotax to file for those years. Does anyone know how to get copies that you filed??
Quoting Omd12:
Turbotax has all the returns you ever filed you go to options then select prior years returns
Where is the options button. Im looking at their site and dont see it. We did not use turbo tax this year because DH got a new job and it upped the tax bracket. So we used a CPA this year.
Log in to TurboTax. Also, if you have record of a refund or payment, that would be helpful too.


text: Some folks have always gotten to be very old, there's just a greater percentage of them now. Reductions in infant mortality as well as disease control account for most of the number anyway, the extraordinary interventions we've become used to don't move the needle all that much and mainly address poor lifestyle issues. The latter are going to push the number down and bust the treasury as well.

The IDF prevents Palestinian farmers in the Gaza Strip from cultivating their land within a range of one kilometre from the border with Israel.
On Tuesday, 27th January, 2009, Israeli soldiers opened fire on a group of farmers from the village El Farhin, situated east of Khan Younis, killing one of them, a man named Anwar. The farmers were working on their land about 700 metres from the border.
On Thursday, 5th February, 2009, the farmers of El Farhin went out, again, to work their land, this time escorted by international human rights activists.
They were some 500 metres from the border. Again, IDF soldiers fired at them. No one was hurt this time.

What happened in Vegas? American Idol revealed its top 42 contestants.
It was a tough night as the 70 remaining singers were asked to perform tunes from the '50s or '60s in groups. "It isn't just about the vigorous vocal rehearsals," Ryan Seacrest said. Contestants had to put together a "complete performance package," including choreography and costumes before taking the stage in front of the judges.
Some sailed through as a group, like youngsters David Leathers, Jr., Jeremy Rosado, Ariel Sprague and Gabi Carrubba, who sang "Rocking Robin" in a "job well done," according to Randy Jackson.
Adam Brock, Erika Van Pelt, Angie Zeiderman and Shelby Tweten sang "Great Balls of Fire," which Jennifer Lopez said was "a lot of fun." "You're a skinny little girl," Steven Tyler told Angie. "You don't have many tail feathers but you sure shook them."
Early frontrunner Reed Grimm led Haley Johnsen, Elise Testone and Eben Franckewitz in "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes," earning a standing ovation from the panel.
Jairon Jackson, Neco Starr, Phillip Phillips and Heejun Han were all spot on with "I Only Have Eyes For You," and all fell to the floor with relief when the judges told them they'd made it through.
Other groups were divided by the judges, like Clayton Farhat, Scott Dangerfield, Adam Lee Decker and Curtis Gray, who performed "Jailhouse Rock" and earned mixed reviews. "When you guys have such big voices and you're used to rocking out like that you got to learn how to hold back," Jennifer said. "That's called dynamics." Curtis was the only one who didn't make it through.
Creighton Fraker, Jen Hirsh, Nick Boddington and Aaron Marcellus sang "Sealed with a Kiss," but Nick was cut. "Nobody has a voice like Nick in the competition so I think [the judges] are wrong," Jen said.
After two days of competition, the judges had put through more than 40 singers, so everyone who had made it through was called back to the stage. "This really sucks," Jennifer said, before breaking some bad news to contestants who thought they were safe.
Gabi Carrubba was cut, leaving her team in tears. Skylar Laine was also sent home, though the judges kept her brother, Colton. And Britney Spears lookalike Britnee Kellogg took the judges' change of heart especially hard. "I don't get this," she said through tears. "This is my life and this is what I do. It's crazy. ... I don't want to go home."
Idol returns next week (Wednesday, 8 p.m. ET) on Fox as the cuts continue on the way to the top 24 – and the live shows.

The next two weeks are an anxious time for Hart High graduate and NFL quarterback Matt Moore.
The NFL's free agency period begins March 12. Until then, the only team he can talk to is his last one, the Miami Dolphins, because he is technically still under contract with them.
But this could potentially be the most intriguing and exciting time of his career NFL career.
Moore, in six seasons, has proven that he can be a reliable starting quarterback or a trusted backup, like he was this past season in Miami.
"I think I proved I can come off the bench, play well, run the offense, score points and win a ball game and kind of rally the guys," Moore said.
NFL.com currently has him rated as the 59th best free agent available with the comment: "He's better than just about every backup in the league — and a few starters."
There are at least five teams in the NFL with instability at the quarterback position — the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars and Arizona Cardinals. Maybe more, depending how one looks at it.
And more teams could use a second-string quarterback.
That's good news for Moore, who in six NFL seasons with the Carolina Panthers (2007-2010) and Miami (2011-12), has been extremely reliable.
He has started 25 games, passed for 5,268 yards with 33 touchdowns to 26 interceptions and a 59.1 percent completion percentage.
Moore surrendered his starting job to rookie Ryan Tannehill last season, but led Miami to a victory in relief when Tannehill went down with an injury Oct. 28 at New York against the Jets.
"I kind of wore that role and I took it on and I was proud of that," Moore said of being the backup. "Was it disappointing to not get the job? Sure. But I appreciate my job and what I'm supposed to do. I think I'm very good at (my job). ... I learned a lot, but I aided the team in a lot of ways. No regrets. No hard feelings. It was good to step back and watch Ryan, help Ryan, be the voice in the locker room. Being an older guy is different now. I had that going for me and the respect and relationships that are so great now that weren't when I was a second-, third-year guy in the league."
Moore, who will be 29 in August, said Miami does have interest in him returning.
But after March 12, his options are wide open.
"There are a lot of things I'm looking at — the rosters, who are the guys they have now. A lot of it is relationships with coaches because being in the league this long, you know somebody in a lot of places. Location," Moore said of things he's looking for in his next team.
"What it comes down to is a fair shake. You want to go in and compete for your job the best you can and be judged the right way. I don't want anything sugarcoated and I don't want to be put in a closet either. I'm sure I'll get a sense of what that is when I talk to coaches or (general managers), so I don't know if I can explain what the perfect (team) is, but a lot has to do with the people, the direction, the philosophy of the head coach."
There are three things that stand out to any professional athlete, not including money — being a starter, security and a chance to win a championship.
Of the three, Moore didn't choose which was most important to him.
In the end, it sounds like a combination.
"I think you play this game to win Super Bowls. There's no doubt you strive to be the best," Moore began. "I think in any player's career, there's a point where security's very important. In terms of playing time, you're going to play wherever you're at, especially at the quarterback position. Which is why, yes, I do want to try and start somewhere, but being a backup, I don't know what the numbers are. But two, three years ago, 62 (quarterbacks) started an NFL game and there are only 32 teams. Security, I can't lie to you, is great."

Slow Cooker Cinnamon-Raisin Granola Bread Pudding
Total Time: 5
Yield: 8 servings
- 2 boxes (about 4.5 ounces each) cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix
- 2 boxes (about 8 ounces each) chai tea latte liquid concentrate, such as Oregon Chai
- 1 quart milk, any fat content
- 1 loaf (about 16 ounces) sliced cinnamon-raisin bread, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1-1/2 cups granola cereal
Combine pudding mix, chai tea latte concentrate, and milk in a 6-quart slow cooker (preferably oval). Stir in bread until all of the pieces are moistened. Scatter granola over the top. Cover and cook on low 4 to 5 hours.
If your slow cooker has a warming setting, you can keep the pudding warm several hours; if it doesn't, the pudding will stay warm up to 1 hour with the cooker turned off.
Additional Notes:
If you like your bread pudding to melt in your mouth you'll like this version as is, but if you prefer a texture that's more dense, crack a few eggs into the batter to help if firm up while baking.

Some genuinely disturbing statistics on suicide in West Virginia were released earlier this week by the Health Statistics center of the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources.
According to the report, not only have suicides gone up across all ages, the rate of suicides among young adults has soared.
"The (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) released data in February 2008 showing a significant increase in the rate of suicide among middle-aged Americans from 1999-2004," the study says. "The West Virginia Health Statistics Center examined state data from this same time period to determine if the state was following the national trend. Instead, a marked increase in suicides among West Virginia's younger residents, especially those in their early 20s, was found."
State officials expressed justifiable alarm and shock at what the numbers revealed, calling the situation an epidemic.
First of all, the rate of suicides in West Virginia is traditionally greater than the rate of suicides nationally. This could be the result of the state being so rural with less access to mental health care, some officials conjecture.
However, while the overall suicide rate for the United States increased ever so slightly from 1999 to 2004, from 10.5 suicides per 100,000 population to 10.9, the rate for West Virginia climbed from 12.1 in 1999 to 15.4 in 2004. That is a 27.3 percent increase and a rate increase of 3.3.
The center then broke down the numbers into three-year increments, 1999-2001 and 2002-2004. It was found that the rates of suicide for every major age group went up from 1999-2001 to 2002-2004 by less than one and even declined for state residents 65 years old and older - except for West Virginians between the ages of 20 and 44.
In that age group, the suicide rate jumped from 17.2 to 21, growing by 3.8 from 1999-2001 to 2002-2004. Nationally, that age group's rate went up by 0.3 from 13.3 in 1999-2001 to 13.6 in 2002-2004.
Also, of the 759 suicides from 1999-2001, 320 or 42.2 percent were by people in the 20-44 age group. That went up to 382 of 827 suicides from 2002-2004 or 46.2 percent. Across the nation, the percentage of total suicides committed by 20-44-year-olds went down from 1999-2001, 46.7 percent, to 2002-2004, 44.9 percent.
The numbers are even worse when the 20-24-year-old segment is broken out. From 1999-2001, the rate for this group was 12.5. From 2002-2004, the rate rocketed to 21.7, a rate increase of 9.2. The rate rose in each segment of the 20-44 age group, although not nearly as dramatically.
Nationally, the suicide rate for the 20-24 age group went up by 0.1 from 12.2-12.3.
According to state officials, the leading causes of suicides among young adults are depression and substance abuse, although, recent national studies show that credit card debt is a leading cause of suicide among young adult males.
At this time, not enough specific information has been gathered to determine why young adults in West Virginia are killing themselves at a higher rate than the national average - and rising. More research is definitely called for.
Officials say they want to get more information, especially county by county, and work with local representatives to determine the best course of action to follow.
This is stunning news and it unquestionably demands work to correct such a horrible trend - and just as quickly as possible.

Hi everybody!
Started my second day with a protein shake. Now I am about to have a salad...
1 small avocado (now I know that avocado is a sometime thing but my DH brought two home because he knows I love them, so...)
2 compari tomatoes (the best tomatoes on the PLANET IMHO)
drizzle of olive oil, wine vinegar, garlic and onion powder
BACON! (2-3 slices)
dollop of sour cream (optional)
salt to taste (optional, bacon makes it salty enough to me)
Dinner tonight is half a chicken herb roasted with some greens. Am I on the right track?
If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive. --Audre Lorde
Owly's Journal
Looks yummy! I'd eat it for sure.
Is this a meal or a side dish? It's a bit low on protein for a meal. Bacon, yummy as it is, isnt a terribly good source of protein (and I've noticed the more real your bacon the more it is a fat and not a protein)
Add some steak to that plate!
And avocado is an everyday thing here!
MTA: because it is rare I dont have more to say
"When I got too tired to run anymore I just pretended I wasnt tired and kept running anyway" - my daughter Age 7
I must, must, must get over the "this is too fattening for you" mentality everybody! First coconut, then butter (which cultured is the BEST tasting butter I have ever had, just made some over the weekend!!!), now avocado (*dancing around the room*) I love these things and had to give them up because I "believed the hype" of low fat, high fiber. That is still in the back of my head, although it is starting to fade. I believe that as the days go by and I start to feel better physically and mentally, that "it's too fattening" voice will go away.
I have to go shopping today, among some other errands ( i JUST found the shopping list, that will help a lot). Bacon is the only thing I had in the house. Just needed something so I can run around a bit. Believe it or not, after eating that plate I'm full!
You've just made me hungry for a salad. Guess what I'll be having for lunch! It is hard to let go of CW thinking isn't it? But go, enjoy the bacon and avocado (and coconut and butter)!!
Avocado is a daily thing, not a sometime thing. Well, in my house at least. Homemade sausage patties + avocado + eggs = my daily breakfast.
Rock on with the avocados.
