Yellowstone's Plastics to Carpet Program
When you visit Yellowstone National Park, your attention is likely on wildlife-watching, marveling at Old Faithful erupting, or enjoying spectacular mountain views. It's unlikely that you're thinking about what will happen to the plastic bottle you just tossed in the recycling bin. But the act of recycling that bottle has set off a chain of events that will not only help the environment and the economy, but also directly benefit the work of the Yellowstone Park Foundation.
It is estimated that only three out of every ten plastic bottles used in the U.S. are recycled, and these are usually shipped overseas to be made into plastic products that are imported back to be sold in this country. A new partnership between Yellowstone National Park, the Yellowstone Park Foundation, and private corporations is now diverting the plastic bottles collected in Yellowstone to be made into carpet backing here in the U.S.
Yellowstone has made great strides in recycling and composting, and park staff are always working to find innovative ways to divert Yellowstone's recyclables from the waste stream. Last year, the park diverted 72.6% of their waste from landfills, and they are working to increase that to 100% by 2016.
In 2011, Yellowstone recycled more than 56 tons of plastic. Rather than sending it somewhere to be shipped overseas, park staff sought an alternative destination closer to home.
The search led to a company that has developed technologies to reuse collected plastics from the park. United Textile Technologies (UTT) has agreed to purchase all the recycled plastic bottles collected in Yellowstone. The plastics are converted into a fleece yarn, incorporated into carpet backing and supplied to companies that manufacture carpeting and artificial turf.
One progressive carpet company, Georgia-based Signature Crypton Carpet, has created "carpets with a conscience," a product line made exclusively with the Yellowstone plastics backing. One of the early buyers of the carpet was Xanterra Parks & Resorts, Yellowstone's lodging concessioner, who installed it in the Old Faithful Snow Lodge dining room last year.
In November 2011, Signature Crypton Carpet launched the Yellowstone Collection, inspired by the colors and textures of Yellowstone's landscape. The company pledged to donate to the Yellowstone Park Foundation 50 cents for every square yard sold. In June 2012, Signature Carpet presented a check for $50,000 to the Yellowstone Park Foundation.
"We see this contribution as an investment in the park that serves as an inspiration for this product line," said John McIntosh of Signature Carpets. "We don't think that being environmentally friendly should be optional. It should be standard operating practice for any company."
In addition to the Yellowstone-plastic backing, the Yellowstone Collection carpet contains yarn made from 100% recycled materials, and is manufactured with soy polyols instead of the petroleum products traditionally used in the making of carpets. All combined, The Yellowstone Collection is much greener than the average carpet. In fact, company representatives believe it is by far the most environmentally responsible commercial carpet in the world.
The general public may be disappointed to learn that they won't be able to carpet their living rooms with "Artist Point," "Caldera," or "Old Faithful" carpet, as Signature Carpet only sells to the hospitality and healthcare industries. But park visitors can be involved by continuing to recycle their plastics when visiting Yellowstone, and feel good that they are helping the earth and the economy while supporting the Yellowstone Park Foundation.
The bottle recycling program is a true team effort, with several national and local partners involved, including the United Soybean Board, Georgia Tech Research Institute, and Montana-based Four Corners Recycling.
The program complements a comprehensive sustainability effort on the part of Yellowstone National Park and its concessioners and other partners, supported by the Yellowstone Park Foundation through the Greenest Park Initiative.

About Inkadinkado…
From its humble beginnings in 1978 when handcrafted rubber stamps were sold through a pushcart system in Boston's Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Inkadinkado has become one of the largest suppliers of top quality rubber and clear stamps in craft and memory categories in the USA, Canada, and many foreign countries. Over the initial years the company added products and expanded the pushcart theme operating under a licensee basis throughout the United States. During this time Inkadinkado also gained a national reputation as an innovator in its market niche and a loyal following among a growing segment of craft users with the distribution base moving into the small "Mom and Pop" retailers. In 1992 under the ownership and operation of Ronald Gelb, the company became sophisticated enough to market, sell, and deliver to national accounts, establishing itself as one of the major players in the industry. In January 2004, Dimensions, one of the respected leaders in the craft industry acquired Inkadinkado and K&Company. With the companies dedicated to quality, innovation, excellence in design, outstanding customer service, the combined resources of the companies resulted in the delivery of even greater service and value to the industry. On August 1, 2007 Dimensions and K&Company were excited to announce a new strategic partnership with two of the largest and most respected craft companies in the industry, EK Success and Wilton Industries. As the integration process progresses among the companies, we look forward to continued growth with creative, innovative, and quality products that will excite consumers.

About Rubber Stamps: Wood Mounted…
Classic wood-mounted rubber stamps provide superior stamping and a luscious stamping experience. The rubber holds and transfers ink better than clear stamps. The foam mounting transfers pressure evenly so that the stamp image forms completely. A wooden handle is printed with a picture of the stamp (called an index.) The wooden art stamp experience is the best of the best.

Compare great Suzuki Winter Tyres prices in Stalybridge with Who Can Fix My Car.
Good communication, fast service and even picked up and return to place of work.
Absolutely fantastic!
I needed my Cambelt replacing and had a huge quote from my normal garage, after putting the job on this site Autosolutions gave me the best quote by far! I have never used this garage before so I didn't know what to expect but I have to say I can not fault them. They came and collected my car in the morning did the work and dropped it back in the afternoon with the work done plus a full clean inside and out with no extra charge! The quote they gave me is the quote I paid and I am more than happy to recommend Autosolutions to all my friends and family and I will definitely be using them again!
Kept my car(Skoda Octavia 1.6) for 3 weeks and told me that its ECU(The electronic control unit) is faulty. The car never fixed and I got the car back after 3 weeks. They could not diagnose the fault. I took it to the other Garage. They fixed the car in one day(4 hrs). The ECU wasn't faulty! I am a taxi driver and I was out of work for 3 weeks because of them! They lady at the reception at Autosolutions charged me £100 deposit cash ( the work they never did). She said it will be added to the total cost of repair(£800). They don't take card payment! She never gave me any invoice. A piece of advice! Don't take your car to them.... I don't believe their all positive review! They made them!
Good and fast service. However the front left brake now squeaks when driving at low speed. I hope it's only because of the new pads and it goes away with the use
Service was great. Would reccomend
great job,highly recommended
OK, but when I got back home and opened the bonnet (same day), I noticed the cap on the screen wash reservoir was broken.
Great service very good price. Would definitely use again.
I took my Mazda 6 to this guy for a wheel bearing replacement. Should be a relatively simple job. He replaced the wheel bearing after having to order a special Mazda one in and then sent me on my way. As I drove away my dash lit up like a Christmas tree. I spoke with the guy the next day as he was already closed by this point and he said it's probably the ABS sensor. He said there's a 50/50 chance that the sensor will need replacing whenever you replace a wheel bearing (apparently only true if you don't know what you're doing). He ordered an ABS sensor which arrived almost 2 weeks later, and it was the wrong one. Yet again had to wait almost 2 weeks for the right one. When it finally arrived and was fitted, the lights on my dash refused to leave. Not only that but there was a scraping sound coming from the wheel whenever I drove anywhere, and the car was pulling to the side. In the end I relented and took the car to a more experienced garage, who told me that this guy had messed everything up. The wheel bearing was put on the wrong way round, the ABS sensor wasn't right and hadn't been set up properly, and to top it all off he'd destroyed my ABS hub with a drill after trying to get the ABS sensor plug out of its socket. Everything had to be completely rebuilt and an original £140 bill turned into well over £700 to repair the damage. I just don't appreciate someone telling me that they can do a job when they're only assuming that they can. When it comes to cars you NEED to know what you're doing before you even attempt something, because (as was proven in this case) you can cause even more damage. Such a waste of time and money! I surely won't be going for the cheapest option in the future. I'll be giving my money to someone who will do the job right first time. Luckily I managed to get my money refunded, but that doesn't get me close to what I had to pay to fix everything.
Perfect garage experience, clear communication, price quoted = price paid, nice guy, no complaints
Excellent Speedy service and a brilliant price to boot at this time of year.
Fantastic service, excellent work, was fixed the very next day with very little effort on my part as they arranged the car to be picked up for me. Would recommend.
Did an excellent job on the clutch replacement on my Citroen van. James dealt with the work promptly, kept me informed throughout. Would recommend him to anybody.
Very helpful and great service. Would definitely use again
good and cheap service. Got MOT done for £27.5. I gave 4 star as I had to wait 2 and half hours.
Very pleased with the overall experience, excellent customer service and very well priced for a quality garage.
The price was very good for a dealership. I thought to myself when they get my car in thet will tell me it needs loads of work doing it, this is exactly what happened. I ended up having a new battery and having some pipe replaced that had split in the engine. I was quoted £103.00 for the original job and i ended up paying £228.00.
More than happy, very helpful
Did not diagnose the problem. Paid 72GBP just for checking error codes and erasing and topping up oil.

I Am Not a Number, I Am a Human Being: More Offseason Musings on Stats
I really like baseball, but I'm not a stat head. Talking about baseball outside of the blogs, I hear a lot of people add this qualifier when they talk about being a fan. Of course, then most of them go on to remark on the statistics in some way – commenting on a particular player's batting average, or their team's Ace's ERA for example. At first glance, this appears to be a contradiction.
Personally, I can no longer get away with the but I'm not a stat geek qualifier without my husband affectionately mocking me…just because I have been known to describe increased individually weighted segmentation in metrics for everything from corporate annual goals to Weight Watcher points as moving from a straight batting average to OPS. Is that any reason I ask you? Yeah, don't answer that.
Suffice to say, I do love the stats. I think they're a lot of fun and one important way to assess a player. However, the things I like the most about particular players cannot be described by stats – drive, hustle, work ethic, being a team player, guts, strategy, intelligence and the player trait that's most important to me: is the guy clutch? So I would argue that I'm not a stat head either.
I think the reason for the seeming disconnect here is a problem with language. What most of us, myself included, mean when we say I'm not a stat head is that I'm not a person who values the numbers more than the human drama on the field, I don't think that stats trump what you know with your eyes and your gut. And this is all well and good right up until we self professed non stat heads try to explain the ways in which a player we like exhibits the qualities we do admire – the guts, the hustle, the clutch. Once you've said it, how do you explain it? You either start describing a litany of specific feats of prowess during a game or you try to quantify these unquantifiable qualities with the only measure you have available, the stats. This is a conundrum only baseball could produce – even when you are absolutely not a stat head, you still embrace the statistics.
That said, has anyone else noticed how much adding in the sabermetric stats make baseball stats look an awful lot like D&D and other roleplaying game stats?
D&D Character: 17 STR mod +1, 14 DEX, -2 AC
I'm not entirely convinced this is coincidental. Many of the sabermaticians who came up with these stats were Ivy League math majors, after all. The fact that every time I read one of the more detailed free agent analyses I find myself thinking things like "It looks like a homerun? I don't think so. My 18 UZR Carl Crawford casts magic missile. Role one D20 to see if your spell was successful," however, must be entirely coincidental. Clearly I am not someone who would know anything about such things from their youth😉

There's nothing wrong with being a baseball geek or nerd or whatever term you want to use. I just wish there was only one way of determining a players defensive abilities. You have Range Factor, Zone Rating, Fielding Position….there should be a way to combine all of it like .OPS for hitters. Anyway, I love looking at the numbers. While I've never played D&D I played a lot of strat-o-matic baseball growing up. It's kind of a role playing game using dice. Somehow, my Cubs would always win the World Series too!
Beware the stat zombies! They'll eat your brains!
Wow, I was looking at stats all day at work on my computer comparing Jason Heyward's stats of his rookie season with 5 other HOFer's!
Ron – I think the one unifying defensive stat may be the current sabermetric holy grail. Of course, the minute they come up with one we can all argue about how it doesn't really tell the whole story either, is biased towards outfielders/infielders/left handed second basemen in their 30s, or whatever. That's half the fun. Speaking of which, strat-o-matic baseball sounds like it must have been a lot of fun!
Jeff – I will take that under advisement. Are baseball bats effective repellent for stat zombies or do they just attract them? Regardless, I think I can just shout "Errors are an effective measure of fielding ability" and then run away while they argue and foam at the mouth.
Hot Tub Baseball Machine – LOL, that sounds like a fun day! Now pray your boss doesn't read MLBlogs, unless that is your job at which point I am officially envious.
– Kristen
The comparison to D&D is so great! No one ever picks up on that kind of thing. I think whenever you look at geeks of different subjects, it all starts looking the same.
Baseball bats are only effective for a short amount of time. That's the problem with the undead… they're really hard to kill😉
Ashley – Thanks! I agree, it almost doesn't matter what major your geek happens to be in, there are a lot of similarities between the lot of us.
Jeff – Got it. Stat zombies are not Shaun of the Dead zombies.
– Kristen
I'm convinced the reason my eyes glaze over when I look at stats in baseball is because I was bad in math!
I LOL'd out loud when I read the D&D comparison….great stuff!
There is sometimes a real fine line between out stats and stories proving us with efficient ammunition to fight off the invading "experts". More than a few of us have battled with stats flying all around when out of nowhere the logic comes out that no one is right. But still be beat up ourselves and the other combatant with our extreme knowledge and fact filled trival mindset that only a true fan can bestow as a positive personality trait.
I am guilt of this not only by association, but by the lust of wanting to better my fellow man with a slice of baseball lore or truth that will slay the dragon. But it could be worse, I could become one of those chosen few who do not have that drive and want to feel the passion for sports. Thank God I am a jock in heart mind, body and soul.
Rays Renegade
Jane – Ah yes, math, the bane of many a student's existence. Fortunately as grown-ups we can all use our calculators (and computers) and no one will stand over us and make us show our work, but none of that is going to make it "fun" if you didn't like it to begin with, I'm sure.
Jonestein – *grins* I'm pleased to give you a laugh. Thanks for dropping by and commenting!
Rays Renegade – And thank heaven for the jocks at that or we wouldn't have any reason to talk about this at all!

The settlement covers about 25 of the approximately 30 claims made by men who say they were abused by Sandusky, a former Nittany Lions assistant coach. The fate of the remaining claims is unclear, the report said, including at least one civil lawsuit against the school.
Convicted last year, Sandusky is serving a 30-to-60-year prison sentence for sexually abusing 10 boys over more than a decade. The scandal brought down the university and destroyed the legacy of longtime head coach Joe Paterno, who was fired as a result and died in January 2012.

The average cost for a Oxygen Sensor Replacement is between $115 and $180. Labor costs are estimated between $26 and $34 while parts are priced between $89 and $146. Get a personalized estimate based on your location and specific car. Estimate does not include taxes and fees.
Oxygen Sensor Replacement Cost for Saturn SW1
Oxygen Sensor Replacement Estimate (National Average)
Validated estimate range for national average.
View Estimate Details
Parts & Labor Breakdown
Labor: $26 - $34
Parts: $89 - $146
Estimate does not include taxes and fees.
Common Symptoms
A failed oxygen sensor may cause the vehicle to fail an emissions test. The failed sensor will cause a trouble code to be set and the Check Engine Light to illuminate.
Oxygen sensors can fail if they are contaminated with oil, coolant, or silicone. If fluid contamination has caused an oxygen sensor failure, the source of the fluid must be resolved or the new sensor may be ruined.
Common Misdiagnoses
Intake and exhaust leaks can trigger an oxygen sensor trouble code, but the oxygen sensor does not require repair. Repairing the leak will resolve the problem.
On vehicles 1996 and newer, using an inexpensive "universal" oxygen sensor will cause problems with the emissions system and is highly discouraged.

Some causes of hearing loss include damage to the inner ear, a buildup of earwax, infections and a ruptured eardrum. To understand how hearing loss occurs, it can be helpful to understand how you hear.
How you hear
Hearing occurs when sound waves reach the structures inside your ear, where the sound wave vibrations are converted into nerve signals that your brain recognizes as sound.
Your ear consists of three major areas: outer ear, middle ear and inner ear. Sound waves pass through the outer ear and cause vibrations at the eardrum. The eardrum and three small bones of the middle ear -- the hammer, anvil and stirrup -- amplify the vibrations as they travel to the inner ear. There, the vibrations pass through fluid in the cochlea, a snail-shaped structure in the inner ear.
Attached to nerve cells in the cochlea are thousands of tiny hairs that help translate sound vibrations into electrical signals that are transmitted to your brain. The vibrations of different sounds affect these tiny hairs in different ways, causing the nerve cells to send different signals to your brain. That's how you distinguish one sound from another.
How hearing loss can occur
Causes of hearing loss include:
- Damage to the inner ear. Aging and prolonged exposure to loud noise may cause wear and tear on the hairs or nerve cells in the cochlea that send sound signals to the brain. When these hairs or nerve cells are damaged or missing, electrical signals aren't transmitted as efficiently, and hearing loss occurs. Higher pitched tones may become muffled to you. It may become difficult for you to pick out words against background noise. Heredity may make you more prone to these changes. This type of hearing loss is known as sensorineural hearing loss, which is permanent.
- A gradual buildup of earwax. Earwax can block the ear canal and prevent conduction of sound waves. Earwax blockage is a cause of hearing loss among people of all ages. This causes conductive hearing loss, which usually can be restored with earwax removal.
- Ear infection and abnormal bone growths or tumors. In the outer or middle ear, any of these can cause hearing loss.
- Ruptured eardrum (tympanic membrane perforation). Loud blasts of noise, sudden changes in pressure, poking your eardrum with an object and infection can cause your eardrum to rupture and affect your hearing.

Outraged parents in Chicago spoke out against a high school principal Monday night for shaming several girls over their short shorts.
During an end-of-year awards ceremony at Stephen Decatur Classical Elementary School, Principal Susan Kukielka singled out seven girls for their attire, the parents told WGN.
"These are not girls of distinction because their shorts are too short," the Sun-Times reported Kukielka said.
Their parents claim the girls were humiliated.
Kukielka later sent letters of apology to the students.
The school does not have an official dress code, but school officials said announcements were made about proper school attire.

The dispute between them is over fees the cable service pays to carry a stations' programming. Time Warner is in a similar dispute with CBS-owned stations, whose settlement will set the standard for the future, said the Hollywood Reporter. »Read Full Blog Post(23)
Milwaukee Rep's 'I Left My Heart' celebrates song more than singer
If you attend "I Left My Heart," the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's season-opening Tony Bennett revue, you won't hear a word about the man who helped liberate a concentrate camp, marched with Martin Luther King Jr. at Selma and became an outspoken opponent of the American invasion of Iraq. Nor will you hear about Bennett's two divorces or former drug addiction.
As the subtitle to the Rep's revue indicates, what co-writers David Grapes and Todd Olson (who also directs) have created is a "salute to the music of Tony Bennett," with an emphasis on the music. »Read Full Article(1)

MSOE cancels Art City radio show after one episode
Well, at least I'll be able to say, "There was that time Art City was on the radio -- once."
Last Friday at noon, we premiered our first episode of Art City on WMSE. We jumped on a newsy subject, a story on "art circles" in the Shepherd Express by James Carlson. In talking about the who-knows-who interactive graphic that attempts to map our local art community, I was joined by Jennifer Johung, a contemporary art and architecture historian and Debra Brehmer, the owner of the Portrait Society Gallery in Milwaukee. »Read Full Blog Post(4)

Hollywood has a spotty track record when it comes to historical dramas. The accuracy of filmmakers in depicting real events and real people can often go by the wayside in order to create stories that they feel are more entertaining.
That's the worry I had with the new film, "The Butler," which after a long legal battle between Warner Brothers and the Weinstein Company, is now known as, "Lee Daniels' 'The Butler.'" (Warner Brothers had made a short film in 1916 called, "The Butler" and wouldn't let the Weinstein Company use the same title. Obviously someone had a grudge.) The opening credits inform the audience that the movie is "inspired by real events," something that always make me a little wary. "Argo," for example, played fairly loosely with the facts even though it was highly entertaining.
The inspiration for the film comes from the amazing life of Eugene Allen, an African-American butler who served in the White House under eight U.S. Presidents, starting with Harry Truman. In the screenplay by Danny Strong, ("Game Change) the character portrayed by Forest Whitaker is renamed as "Cecil Gaines," and is a composite of other presidential butlers.
The film begins in the south where young Cecil and his family experience devastating personal tragedy at the hands of a racist landowner. (Look for Mariah Carey who has two short scenes as Cecil's mom.) The boy becomes a man and eventually winds up in Washington, D.C., working in an elegant hotel restaurant. He's learned the art of graciously serving the movers and shakers of society their martinis while pretending not to notice their sometimes hateful comments. This skill of blending into the background gets him an interview for a position as a butler at the White House. Whitaker delivers a masterful scene in which he wins over his future boss by demonstrating all the charm, knowledge, and political finesse he's learned serving the wealthy elite.
As he begins the job, (in the movie his first president is Dwight Eisenhower, played by the bizarre choice of Robin Williams, while in real-life it was Truman) Cecil discovers he's a fly-on-the-wall of history, witnessing everything from the tragic aftermath of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson's larger-than-life outbursts, to Richard Nixon's Watergate downfall and Ronald Reagan's charm. Director Daniels' choice of actors to play the Presidents has mixed results. Alan Rickman is surprisingly good as Reagan, as is Liev Schreiber as LBJ. James Marsden lacks the charisma to properly play JFK, while John Cusack is quite smarmy as Richard Nixon. One particularly brilliant casting choice is Jane Fonda making a short but memorable appearance as a gracious Nancy Reagan.
Most of the movie's heart, however, comes courtesy of Cecil's family and home life. His wife Gloria is played by media powerhouse Oprah Winfrey, doing a fine job in her first live action movie since 1998's "Beloved." Her character is a woman with a number of internal conflicts but who is proud of her husband. But by far the featured relationship is that between Cecil and his headstrong eldest son – Louis – eventually played by British actor David Oyelowo. Father and son have a number of differing viewpoints that grow more evident when the young man goes off to college. During the next few years he has a Forrest Gump-like talent for being in the front row of a steady stream of major civil rights events. They range from restaurant sit-ins where black patrons demand to be served at the whites-only counter, to Freedom Rider bus tours, to the Black Panthers movement. Louis is even with Martin Luther King shortly before his assassination, getting a lesson from the civil rights leader. The movie is taking a lot of dramatic license, but the emotional impact is undeniable. Director Daniels takes a scene of protesting diners being assaulted at a Woolworth counter and intercuts it with shots of Cecil and the White House staff setting tables for a formal State dinner. It's a very powerful moment. Unfortunately there's a few times when the movie does get a little predictable and melodramatic. When one key character announces he's going to Vietnam, you can guess what's probably coming next.
Overall, the acting is first rate, with a cast that includes Cuba Gooding Jr., Lenny Kravitz and Terrence Howard, As for Forest Whitaker – he once again proves his talent, delivering a performance filled with dignity and strength. At the end of the film, it's clear his character is a strong a person as anyone who has ever entered the White House.

Green light for Lufthansa and Brussels Airlines: the European Commission has approved the merger of the two airlines.
Approval from the EU Competition Authority smooths the way for the acquisition by Lufthansa of an initial 45 per cent stake in SN Airholding SA/NV, the parent company of Brussels Airlines. Lufthansa also has approval, from 2011, after securing the airline's air traffic rights, to exercise its buyout option for the remaining 55 per cent of share capital, thereby completing the full takeover of Brussels Airlines. The transaction is due to be finalized by the end of June 2009.
Brussels Airlines
Brussels Airlines was founded in November 2006. As SN Brussels Airlines it was the successor company to Belgian carrier Sabena, founded in 1923, which had to file for bankruptcy in 2001. SN Brussels Airlines merged with Virgin Express in 2006.
The airline is owned by a consortium of 40 Belgian investors. Lufthansa is the largest shareholder with a 45% stake.
In its first year of operation as Brussels Airlines, the company carried 5.8 million passengers. The airline, which has its headquarters in Brussels, employs around 3,000 people.
Route network
The Brussels Airlines' hub is Brussels Airport. In Germany the airline serves Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt/Main and Munich.
Brussels Airlines has excellent connections from Brussels to more than 70 attractive destinations in Europe and Africa. It deploys a modern fleet of 45 aircraft on these routes.
On its European routes Brussels Airlines offers a low-fare product (b.light economy) and a highly flexible product that provides time savings and comfort at reasonable prices (b.flex economy +). The airline also offers an attractive business product on all flights.
Partner airlines
Brussels Airlines maintains numerous bilateral cooperation agreements with other airlines in order to provide a more extensive route network. These airlines are:
Swiss- American Airlines - Jet Airways - Lot - Malev - Finnair - Malmö Aviation - Etihad - El Al - Hainan Airlines - Alitalia - British Airways - Cyprus Airways - Air Malta - Rossiya - Ukraine International Airlines - Airlines - Tarom - Air Senegal International - Royal Air Maroc - FlyLal - Air Baltic - Ethiopian Airlines - Iberia - Adria Airways.
Coordinated scheduling, leading to improved connections at the Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich and Brussels hubs, is just one of the benefits which customers will be able to enjoy in future. Today, passengers of Lufthansa and Brussels Airlines already benefit from a partnership of the two carriers, as Brussels Airlines prepares to join the Star Alliance.
Since the start of the summer timetable, fares offered by both carriers on cross-border routes have also been combinable. Customers of either airline, who are in possession of a return ticket for a flight between Belgium and Germany, can therefore take one flight with Lufthansa and the other with Brussels Airlines.
Miles & More
Brussels Airlines has been a Miles & More partner since 29 March 2009.
Status customers of Brussels Airlines have also benefited since then from additional privileges, such as an increased free baggage allowance, priority baggage handling, lounge access and the use of dedicated check-in counters.

Raymond R. JacobsJuly 18,2014
COLCHESTER Raymond R. Jacobs, 76, of Sunset View Road, Lone Pine Camp Ground, died July 15, 2014, at the Vermont Respite House in Williston.
Ray was born in Williamstown on July 4, 1938, to Baynard and Isola (Roy) Jacobs. He grew up in Barre City and graduated from Spaulding High School in 1957. He maintained a close relationship with many classmates, serving on the class reunion committees and working on the class float for the annual Heritage Festival parade.
While in high school he was a drummer with the Barre American Legion Post 10 Drum and Bugle Corps as well as playing drums in a local band. His love of music and dancing continued for the rest of his life.
Following his graduation, he had been employed at Pratt-Whitney Aircraft in Hartford, Connecticut.
In 1961, Ray joined the U.S. Army, where he served with pride. He became a paratrooper, traveling throughout the United States in his countrys service. He was proud of his airborne wings and served in coastal Florida during the Bay of Pigs invasion. He was discharged as a specialist 4 in 1963.
On Feb. 22, 1964, he married Gloria Garcia, which endured for 50 wonderful and caring years.
In 1993, they returned to Barre, where Roy worked at the former Montgomery Ward store and then the Foto Shop, where he became a photographer and made many friends during his photo shoots. Later, he joined the Barre Town police force, serving the town citizenry for over 20 years, most of the time as chief of the department.
Following his retirement from law enforcement, he owned the Sunoco service station on Washington Street and became a courier for the TD Bank until his retirement.
Besides his wife, Gloria, Ray leaves his son, Brian Jacobs, and wife Hollie; daughter Jodie Royer and husband Garth; and his grandchildren, Keith, Evan, Logan and Carmelina, the loves of his life.
Also surviving is his sister, Dorothea Dolly Spencer, and her husband, Daniel; and nieces, nephews and cousins.
His parents and his brothers, Michael, Baynard and Lawrence, predeceased him.
Ray was a past exalted ruler and life member of Barre Elks Lodge 1535 and belonged to Barre American Legion Post 10. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, skiing, golf and being out of doors.
His life will be honored and celebrated with his Mass of Christian burial at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, July 22, 2014, in St. Monica Catholic Church.

NY brothers' $5 million lottery theft trial starts
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Two brothers accused of stealing a winning $5 million scratch-off lottery ticket became agitated and angry when questioned about it, and one of them threatened to destroy it, a state lottery official testified Monday.
"I'll rip up this ticket right now," lottery division clerk Joan China quoted Nayel Ashkar as saying during a March 2012 interview.
China testified that Ashkar asked a lottery security investigator if he was accusing him of something.
The trial for Nayel Ashkar, 36, and Andy Ashkar, 34, began Monday in Onondaga County Court after the brothers signed waivers allowing Judge Joseph Fahey to rule from the bench.
Andy Ashkar is accused of stealing the ticket from Robert Miles at The Green Ale Market on Oct. 27, 2006. Prosecutors say Ashkar told Miles, a maintenance worker, the winning ticket was worth $5,000 and paid him $4,000 and kept the other $1,000 for the store, which his father owns.
Nayel Ashkar is accused of conspiring with his brother to try to claim the winnings just before the ticket expired. The jackpot was to be paid out over 20 years, not in a lump sum.
Prosecutor Beth Van Doren, in her opening statement, said the issue wasn't that the defendants waited so long to try to cash it.
"That is a legal right of the rightful owner," Van Doren said. "Robert Miles is the actual owner. Co-workers saw the elation, the devastation of Miles. He lost the ticket when Andy Ashkar snatched it from his hand."
Van Doren said the Ashkars made several conflicting statements to lottery officials and that led to an investigation and a recommendation not to pay the jackpot.
Defense attorney Robert Durr, who is representing Andy Ashkar, called the case one of "common sense" in his opening, saying the court would understand the delay in attempting to cash the ticket.
"There are major inconsistencies in what occurred that day," Durr said. "There is no way possible to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt."
Defense attorney Robert Tisdell, who represents Nayel Ashkar, said there was no evidence his client had committed any crime.
"Where's the proof?" Tisdell asked. "There's not been one witness, one claim, that ties him to the claim."
China, an employee of the lottery division for seven years, said the Ashkars drove to Schenectady to claim the prize instead of doing so at an office in Syracuse. She testified the brothers were expressionless and unable to give a definitive answer as to when the ticket was purchased.
China also said both initially declined to sign the necessary papers to claim the prize, adding that she had never experienced such a subdued reaction from a jackpot winner.
"I had never seen claimants come in that were unhappy. It's a life-changing event," China said. "They weren't excited. Andy wanted to know the process would be safe. He was worried about his parents."
China also testified that Nayel Ashkar asked if they could accept a smaller amount of money to avoid a media event.
The brothers' father, Nayef Ashkar, who was in the courtroom, is charged with conspiracy in the case. The father, who had declined to comment after his arrest, has a separate trial scheduled for September.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

A series of bank errors has caused a woman's bank accounts to be $300 million in the red.
Georgia native Ann Wiley told WSBTV Channel 2 Action News that she recently had problems paying bills online or paying for gas, which prompted her to check her accounts. That's when she learned she was nearly $100 million in debt. After double-checking she realized that it was $100 million from her savings and $100 million from her checking account. Overnight, the situation got worse. "I wake up the next morning, check again. Maybe this is a bad dream. It's another $100 million, so $300 million I'm having a problem with right now," Wiley said.
Wiley was told by Sun Trust Bank that the problem was with the Georgia Department of Revenue (DOR), who says they have no documents showing that they are in the wrong. Sun Trust and the DOR are working together to investigate the issue.
Since Wiley has no money, she is staying afloat with help from her friends and is positive that the bank and the DOR will get to the bottom of it and rectify the situation.

Dave Jennings, New York Giants punter, at 61
Dave Jennings, who as a punter for the New York Giants was twice named an All-Pro and was often the best player on a woeful team, died on Wednesday at his home in Upper Saddle River, N.J. He was 61.
The cause was complications of Parkinsons disease, said his sister, Susan Jennings, his only immediate survivor.
Jennings played for the Giants for 11 seasons, from 1974 to 1984, during which they went 56-104, had a winning record only twice and never had more than nine victories in a season.
Punters on bad football teams get a lot of work, and Jennings was up to the challenge. Known for kicks that lingered in the air, angled toward the sideline and regularly pinned opposing teams inside their 20-yard line, he was named to four Pro Bowls. The Associated Press named him its All-Pro punter in 1979, when he led the NFL in punts (104) and punting yardage (4,445), and again in 1980, probably his best season, when he led all punters with a 44.8-yard average. He punted 931 times for the Giants, more than anyone before or since, averaging 41.7 yards per kick.
He finished his career on the field with the New York Jets, playing with them from 1985 to 1987. Overall, his punts traveled 47,567 yards, more than 27 miles, the 11th-highest total in NFL history.
David Tuthill Jennings was born in Manhattan on June 8, 1952. His mother, the former Deborah Hunt, was a pianist and music teacher. His father, Manson, was a college professor and administrator who became president of Southern Connecticut State College (now Southern Connecticut State University).
Jennings played basketball, not football, at Garden City High School on Long Island basketball was his favorite sport and both sports at St. Lawrence University, a liberal arts school in northern New York that rarely turns out professional athletes. Undrafted out of college, he joined the Giants after being cut by the Houston Oilers.
Jennings was a presence in New York City-area football for more than 30 years. Personable, articulate and well-informed about the game, he moved from the field to the broadcast booth as an analyst on radio for the Jets from 1988 to 2001 and the Giants from 2002 to 2007.
You go in there, go boom, and then youre back on the sidelines and you can wait another half-hour before youre in the game again, Jennings said in a 1976 interview, describing the punters role and expressing disappointment that he wasnt talented enough to play his favorite sport for a living. Its not like basketball, where youre in the action all the time.
He added, I happen to be a better punter than a basketball player.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. Full StoryTroubling as the details of the McLaren Report were, a news item out of Russia earlier this week... Full Story

A father got the surprise of a lifetime when he recently learned that his daughter, who he previously thought was dead, was actually alive and wanted to meet him.
According to WIFR, Charles Lutzow of Rockford, Ill. was told by his estranged wife that the child they conceived together 45 years ago died during child birth. But in reality, she had put their little girl up for adoption. Lutzow's estranged wife died in 2003 and never told him about the child.
Last December, their daughter, Keri Abercrombie, found her father through the Adoption Registry and Facebook and reached out to him. This week, Abercrombie, who now lives in Alabama, made the trip to Illinois to meet her father and her extended family for the first time.
"I can't even put into words I'm so excited," she told WIFR. The station captured the heartwarming moment on film.

House votes to extend pay freeze for fed workers
WASHINGTON The U.S. House voted Friday to extend a pay freeze for federal workers, already in effect for more than two years, for another nine months.
Republicans, who largely backed the measure, said it would save $11 billion in the long run and that economically secure public servants could go a little longer without a raise.
Most Democrats, and the White House, criticized the bill as an example of anti-government bias and said Republicans, instead of debating a bill that has little chance of advancing in the Democratic-controlled Senate, should be concentrating on avoiding the pending automatic cuts to federal programs that could have a painful effect on the economy.
The House measure, approved on a 261-154 vote, blocks an executive order issued by President Barack Obama last December that would give the nations 2 million civilian federal workers a 0.5 percent cost-of-living raise from March 27, when the current federal spending agreement expires, through the end of the year.
The White House has indicated it will also include a 1 percent federal pay increase in its 2014 budget proposal.
The White House, in a statement, opposed the House bill, saying federal workers have already done more than their part in bringing down the deficit and that the legislation was added burden on those who assure the safety of this countrys food and airways, defend the homeland, provide health care to the nations veterans, search for cures to devastating diseases and provide vital support to our troops at home and abroad.
Obama in 2010 initiated a two-year freeze on federal COLAs as part of an effort to reduce the deficit. Federal worker unions and others opposing the bill say that, with the freeze and higher pension contributions required of new workers, federal employees are already helping save $103 billion over a 10-year period.
But the bills sponsor, freshman Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., said his modest bill simply recognizes our current fiscal reality and the fact that government salaries must bear some relationship to the private sector salaries that support them. His bill, estimated at saving $11 billion over 10 years, would also extend the freeze on congressional member pay, now running through September, until the end of the year.
The freeze only applies to cost-of-living adjustments, and not merit and longevity raises. The House Oversight and Government Reform.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. Full StoryTroubling as the details of the McLaren Report were, a news item out of Russia earlier this week... Full Story

Janet C. FieldJanuary 03,2013
Janet C. Field
Janet C. Field
CHELSEA Janet Cheryl Field, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend, died peacefully on Jan. 1, 2013, at her home of 40 years, the Hyde House in Chelsea village.
Jan was born on a small dairy farm in central Wisconsin on June 25, 1945, the third of four children of Marlyn Buchholz, who died in 1973, and Viola Buchholz, who died in 2010.
Jan lived all her life in service to her family and many others in her hometown of Chelsea, in the state of Vermont, the United States of America and in the world.
Following her graduation from high school in Weyauwega, Wis., Jan worked several years in Milwaukee before volunteering for the Peace Corps in 1966. After training in the Florida Keys, she was the first volunteer to enter the Truk District of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. Among other duties, she helped manage the Peace Corps first two in-country volunteer training programs. In Truk, she met William Field, a recent law school graduate from out East, and they were married in Truk on May 5, 1968. After serving in the Peace Corps, Jan and Bill lived and worked in central Massachusetts for four years before moving to Chelsea, on Tunbridge Fair weekend in 1972.
In February of 1972, they adopted a 3-year-old son named William B. B Field, and in October of that same year, Jan gave birth to son Addison Field followed by daughter Carrianna Carrie Field in 1975.
Over the next 18 years while raising her children, Jan worked as secretary and paralegal assistant in her husbands law office in Chelsea. Following removal of that practice to Barre, Jan worked for the Institute for Sustainable Communities, supporting environmental programs in Eastern Europe and in a student services office at Norwich University.
In Chelsea, she served at various times as a member of the school board, justice of the peace, Sunday school teacher, youth group leader, Cub Scout leader, Chelsea Parks Commission, and member and chairwoman of the Executive Committee of the United Church of Chelsea. She also served as a trustee of Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, N.H. She was parent representative to Vermont Child and Adolescent Service System Program, working on the implementation of state programs for children and adolescents with special needs.
In 1994, Jan began fulfillment of a lifelong ambition to obtain a college education, graduating from Mount Holyoke College in 1997. While at Mount Holyoke College, she worked as a residential life coordinator creating new resource services for adult women enrolled at the college to aid in their adaptation to college life and practices. At Mount Holyoke, she was a classmate of her daughter Carrie, and after a spirited competition to see who would have the highest grade point average, she just edged out Carrie, graduating magna cum laude. College degree in hand, she first worked in student services at Franklin Pierce College in Lebanon, N.H.; she worked as statewide mentor coordination for Central Vermont Community Action Agency providing mentoring and support systems for eligible persons doing business start-ups. She worked subsequently for New Directions for Barre, working with youth on issues related to alcohol, tobacco and other drug addictions and guiding young people in social adaptations and conflict issues.
In 2005 she joined the Peace Corps Crisis Corps, an organization of returned Peace Corps volunteers with a mission to respond to natural disasters around the world. This became the first Peace Corps program implemented within the United States during the national response to Hurricane Katrina. While in Mississippi with the Crisis Corps, she connected with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and subsequently responded with FEMA to natural disasters in many states including her home states of Vermont and Wisconsin as well as Florida, Alabama, Pennsylvania, California, West Virginia, Indiana and Illinois. In Wisconsin, she was recognized in local papers for assisting in an emergency evacuation of seniors from their homes.
Jan was with FEMA in West Virginia in April 2012 when she was found to have a lung tumor. This was the fourth cancer she battled during her life; although she felt she was in control fighting the other cancers, this time she knew was different.
She leaves behind Bill, her best friend and husband of 44 years; an amazing mother, Jan felt her highest accomplishment was her children, and she leaves her son Addison and his daughters, Lena and Aurelia, of Juneau, Alaska; her daughter, Carrie, and her husband, Matthew Wax-Krell, and their son, Grady Wax-Krell, of West Hartford, Conn. She also leaves behind her brother and his wife, Nathan and Mary Buchholz, of Rock Hill, S.C.; her sister and husband Joan and Ron Engels, of Pelican Lake, Wis.; her sister and husband Shirley and Steve Sternberg, of New London, Wis.; the companion of her mother, Fritz Douglas, of Weyauwega, Wis.; and many beloved nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her mother and father, and her son William B. Field, who died in Miami on Dec. 25, 2012, by a brother-in-law, Jerry Lehman, and many other close and enduring friends.
Jan enjoyed reading from an early age, cross-country skiing, swimming for hours at her camp in Wolcott, Vt., being with her Sophia Circle friends and many other friends and family. She had an abiding faith in God and felt she was passing to a different realm of consciousness and being.
Calling hours will be held on Friday, Jan. 4, 2013, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Boardway & Cilley Funeral Home, 300 Vermont Route 110, Chelsea, Vt. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, Jan. 5, 2013, at 7 p.m. at the United Church of Chelsea in Chelsea, Vt., with the Rev. Deadra Ashton officiating.

Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census
This study provides annual estimates of the population of all counties and county equivalents in the United States for the years 1971-1974. Also included are county-level estimates of the components of population change (births, deaths, and net migration) for the same years. County equivalents are parishes in Louisiana, census divisions in Alaska, and independent cities in Virginia and Missouri. The dataset was prepared by ICPSR from Current Population Reports published by the Census Bureau and originally compiled by the Census Bureau with the assistance of designated state agencies in the Federal/State Cooperative Program for Population Estimates. Several ICPSR geographic identification variables were included in the dataset to improve its utility and maintain the comparability of the present data with other county-level materials in the ICPSR archive. ICPSR also calculated some variable values that were missing from the Census Bureau reports.

More critical thinking neededFebruary 06,2013
More critical thinking needed
Columnist Willem Lange usually strikes me as a critical thinker and a fairly interesting writer. However, in his article Pearl Harbors legacy, (Jan. 21 Times Argus/Rutland Herald) in referring to JFKs assassination, he labels those opposing his perspective as loonies with time on their hands. This name-calling method seems to be used quite often to shut down any debate on certain topics. As a matter of fact, this method seems to have worked quite successfully for more than a decade by the U.S. government and its cooperative mainstream media and others, with the words conspiracy theorists used to thwart any serious objective debates, especially on critical issues.
As for Mr. Langes statement But 9/11 remains an open wound; our national consciousness still hasnt been able to wrap itself around the motives of the men who took flying lessons ... I believe that the open wound in our national consciousness has little to do with the motives of men who took flying lessons. It has much more to do with what were the motives of the men who caused the 12-second straight-down controlled demolition-type collapse of each of the three WTC skyscrapers on 9/11.
As for motives, we would do well to consider what U.S. foreign and domestic policies followed from the events of 9/11 and which continue to this day, including the consequent induced fear that paralyzes the national psyche. We now are a country of torture, drone assassinations, lost civil liberties and shock-and-awe for countries with oil and other resources that the multinational corporations covet.
In short, we have a world turned upside-down thanks to the unexamined, uninvestigated and covered-up events of 9/11.
Accepting unquestioningly the official 9/11 conspiracy and proceeding to parrot it is not critical thinking. We need all the truly critical thinking we can collectively muster. Lets stop labeling those who question our governments actions either in JFKs assassination or the 9/11 murders and have a real debate on ultra-serious issues while we still have a voice.
