FAA, Industry Continue Push to Eliminate Sequester
FAA Administrator Michael Huerta voiced his concerns about the sequestration government spending cuts during a speech at an aviation conference in New Jersey Monday.
In March, the sequester reduced FAA's 2013 $16 billion operating budget by $637 million, forcing the agency to furlough its air traffic controllers, leading to flight delays prior to a legislative fix that transferred funds from the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) to restore funding and remove the furloughs for the controllers. The House Appropriations Committee's proposed 2014 budget would reduce the agency's spending by $756 million for the upcoming fiscal year.
During his speech before the New Jersey Alliance for Action, Huerta highlighted progress that the agency has made in shifting from a radar-based air traffic control system to a satellite-based system, but also stated future funding unpredictability threatens NextGen infrastructure investments.
"This fiscal uncertainty challenges our ability to make the investments that we need to support modernization. This is not a sustainable course of action. It's no way to run a business … and it's no way to run a government," said Huerta.
Huerta said he is supportive of the 2014 budget proposed by President Barack Obama, which would replace the sequester cuts with more immediate investment and deficit reduction spread out in a more balanced method than the current sequestration cuts allow for. Obama's budget also includes $1 billion reserved for NextGen investments.
During testimony at a House aviation subcommittee hearing in July, Huerta told lawmakers that the House's proposed 2014 budget would force the agency to delay NextGen funding in order to keep the current air traffic system operating safely and efficiently.
The FAA chief's support to replace the sequester was recently echoed by Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) President Marion Blakey, who told the Reuters Aerospace and Defense Summit last week that "chances are excellent that the investment accounts will be hit the hardest." Blakey, who served as FAA administrator between 2002 and 2007, supports repealing the sequester cuts altogether.
In a statement Wednesday, Rockwell Collins Director of Strategic Initiatives for Commercial Systems, Rick Heinrich said "a fragile U.S. economy, including sequestration, makes it even more difficult" to accelerate the operational benefits associated with NextGen for airspace users.
The most visible effects of sequestration were the furloughs of air traffic controllers, an effect that the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) is strongly against repeating.
"NATCA is communicating a very simple message to Congress and the Administration – don't let furloughs happen again," a spokesperson for NATCA told Avionics Magazine in an emailed statement. "NATCA is also urging policymakers to find a long-term solution to replace the sequester so that critical projects like NextGen are not negatively impacted. Until there is a clearer picture of how funding will be provided and what flexibility agencies will have, NATCA will not speculate on how specific programs will be affected."
Congress has not yet approved a 2014 budget, so its unclear how the sequester cuts will impact NextGen investments, though unless lawmakers approve a new plan, another $109.3 billion--an increase from the $85 billion implemented for 2013--in across-the-board spending cuts will be implemented beginning in October.

Polians fired by Irsay.
Both of them had been scouting Luck, and seemed pretty determined to draft him. Now they are fired by Jim Irsay, who has, per reports "a very close relationship with Peyton Manning".
Does this mean that Irsay has decided that Manning will play the rest of his career as the starter for the Colts...possibly meaning that the #1 pick is For Sale?

National Footprint Accounts:
The National Footprint Accounts (NFAs), developed by Global Footprint Network, provide comprehensive data on humanity's demand on nature. They track how this demand compares across more than 200 countries, territories, and regions, and how it relates to the planet's biological capacity to meet these demands.
Graphic country time trends for tracking per-person Ecological Footprint and biocapacity since 1961 are available in the "COUNTRY TRENDS" table to the right.
The annually updated National Footprint Accounts undergo continuous improvement under the advice of the National Accounts Review Committee. The latest method is described in the Calculation Methodology Paper.
For non commercial, educational use only, we now offer free access to a new Public Data Package, which includes latest per-capita Ecological Footprint and biocapacity results for 186 countries.
Suggested citation for data and graphs from the National Footprint Accounts:

Obtaining Data
The National Footprint Accounts and Country Risk Rankings are available under license for a wide variety of applications including educational, research and commercial purposes. Please visit our licensing page for more details.
Country Risk Rankings:
Global Footprint Network's Country Risk Rankings quantify natural resource and environmental risks so they can be incorporated into country risk and sovereign credit risk assessments. The methodology is based on the ERISC (Environmental Risk in Sovereign Credit analysis) methodology, developed jointly with UNEP FI and 14 financial institutions. The method relies on the Ecological Footprint and biocapacity metrics, which measure renewable biological resources (such as fisheries, forests, cropland and grazing land) and are supplemented with data on non-renewable natural resources including fossil fuels, metals and minerals to provide a more comprehensive definition of natural resources. The Country Risk Rankings lay the foundations for enhanced analytics that can account for the growing materiality of natural resource constraints for sovereign credit risk.
The ERISC report fills a methodology gap by exploring to what extent resource and ecological risks can impact a nation's economy and how these factors affect a nation's ability to pay its debts. ERISC rankings are now available for over 130 countries.
Additional Resources
The Working Guidebook to the 2014 National Footprint Accounts describes the implementation of the Ecological Footprint methodology as presented in the 2014 edition for the National Footprint Accounts. It provides an in depth description of each part of the 2014 NFA workbook, along with detailed descriptions of calculations and data sources.
The Ecological Footprint Atlas 2010 explains the purpose behind Ecological Footprint accounting, addressing research questions and basic concepts, as well as the underlying science of the calculations. Giving examples of how the Ecological Footprint has been applied. For the technical reader, the Atlas includes more detailed notes about calculation of the results, explains recent advances to enhance the consistency, reliability and resolution of the National Footprint Accounts, and reviews the evolution of the National Footprint Accounts methodology.
ERISC: A New Angle on Sovereign Credit Risk report describes the rationale and methodology used to substantiate the business case for financial institutions and ratings agencies to include ecological criteria as a key component of country risk analysis.

State rules excellent
To the Editor:
In reading the article titled "Private wells may be banned in Fairmont" on March 27, I have serious concerns about certain statements.
First, the likelihood of "hazardous material" being sucked into the city water supply by a private well is infinitesimal. Wells drilled in Minnesota after 1970 adhere to one of the best health codes in the nation. Each well that is drilled is done so by a licensed driller who must follow this code. Within the code is a provision for finishing a well so as to not allow contaminants from the surrounding area to infiltrate the well, and thus the aquifer. After a well is finished, water samples are taken and tested for a battery of items, such as arsenic levels, nitrate and bacteria, etc.
Members of the Minnesota Water Well Association, the Minnesota Department of Health and many local drillers in the Fairmont area have been instrumental in sealing abandoned wells found not only in Fairmont, but across the state. The Department of Health has been given the "Ground Water Protector Award" by the National Ground Water Association in recognition of the work it has done in sealing wells, and overseeing 250,000-plus abandoned wells sealed so our aquifers remain protected. Yes, this is not an inexpensive endeavor, but one that must be done by the responsible homeowner or city when these are found.
We understand there is a financial burden on the city to pay for a $31 million water treatment plant. However, forcing people to use city water that has been chemically treated, and then to make them pay for chemically treated water for their lawn and garden use is not the best use of treated water. The use of water from a well continues the hydrological cycle unbroken and unchanged, as it goes simply back into the ground where it came.
In dry times, the city of Fairmont should look to its own use, and the use of others in a different way. Ask the questions, "Is a total lawn watering ban needed for the summer months?" "Should vacant property in town continue to have lawn sprinklers going?" "Are the lawn sprinklers set correctly so as to not water the street?" Are there hard surfaces that rainwater runoff can be captured from to use for watering or recharge uses?"
Well water comes not only from the rain over the city. Water moves from one city/county to another. There are numerous statutes and rules the state can use to protect this resource, and this must remain at that level, not at a local level.

For me it has to be "Toad" by the great Ginger Baker. I'm sure many people will pick a Bonham solo, but for some reason I've always preferred Baker to Bonham. I think it's the jazz thing. Baker has always seemed like a rock 'n' jazz drummer to me. I am so grateful I finally got the opportunity to see him with Cream. He did the solo, and it was great. It wasn't as long as the Wheels of Fire version, but he still had it. In fact, he and Bruce stole the show.
Also, Steve Gadd's drum solo on "Aja" by Steely Dan is out of this world. Just perfect.
Finally, I saw Elton John several years ago with Ray Cooper, and Ray did an awesome percussion solo.

It seemed a bit insane that I had never posted about bialys, but when I put that little ditty up about buttermilk scones last week it came to my attention that for all the doughnuts that have appeared on this site, bialys were never even mentioned. Let's fix that. Bialys are, many people say, like bagels. Except they aren't. They aren't boiled before they are baked, they don't have holes in the centers, and they certainly aren't hawked at chain coffee shops and airport deli counters across the nation. Most importantly, bialys don't (at least as far as I know) come in dozens of flavors; they are flavored with the perfect duo of onions and poppyseeds.
Bialys – named, again, as far as I know, after their hometown of Bialystok, Poland – are mainly found in New York. There used to be a great bialy bakery in the Fairfax neighborhood of L.A., but that place closed despite the many bags of bialys we would buy whenever we stopped in. Biannual customers cannot, I'm afraid, keep such an operation afloat.
There are not, in my experience (correct me, please!) fabulous bialys to be found in San Francisco. One company makes them, but they also make pretzels and the similarity between the two makes me think they are using the same dough. Their bialys are too cooked already to really split and toast, which is how we tend to eat them at our house. What is a girl to do except learn to make bialys and make a batch every now and again?
As happens at our house when I cook things many times over, a certain amount of customization takes place. My dashing husband — a native of New York for whom I have, more than once, passed off a batch of bialys as a present – likes his bialys small, with just a bit of onion-poppyseed topping – too much of it, he claims, leaves the center portion slightly uncooked and thus difficult to toast. That is his theory. I like lots of the topping. The top cooks just fine, thank you very much, it just doesn't get as perfectly crispy as the rest of the bialy, which is something any reasonable adult would put up with in exchange for all that extra onion-poppyseed delight. Ever the problem-solver, I started adding some of the topping to the actual dough so I get all that delicious onion-y flavor even when putting less on top so that he can get all his crazy crispy on.
All that to say that last time I made bialys I ended up with extra onion-poppyseed goodness. I couldn't bear to throw it away, so it sat on the counter in our winter-in-San-Francisco freezing kitchen for a day. That day happened to end up being one during which I had tons to do and it was basically crappy outside so who wanted to go to the store. I followed the path of absolute least resistance. I boiled up some pasta, tossed it with butter, black pepper, and the onion-poppyseed yumminess, and topped it all with some seven-year-old Gouda that my son begs me to buy him for a treat:
We had some salad alongside. It may have been made from a leftover garnish I found on the counter, but that bialy pasta was damn good. Onions and poppyseeds can make anything taste good.

On November 25, the world observed the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. We are now in the "16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence," which links November 25 to International Human Rights Day on December 10, recognizing the connection between women's rights and human rights. These 16 Days offer all of us an opportunity to renew the commitment to ending violence against women and girls in all its forms.
Promoting the status of women and girls is not just a moral imperative but a strategic one; it is, in essence, a strategy for a smarter foreign policy. Strengthening the prevention of and response to gender-based violence is of vital importance, because no country can achieve peace and prosperity if half of its population is deprived of reaching its full potential. As Secretary Clinton has so often said, women are drivers of economic growth. Women's education is linked to economic growth and improved health outcomes. Women are essential agents of change in peace-building and conflict resolution. When women and girls are not protected, their ability to participate fully in the development of society isstunted, which adversely affects us all.
Violence against women and girls is sadly a global epidemic, rooted in the low status of women and girls. To turn back the tide, we know we must work on prevention efforts, protection from violence, and prosecution of perpetrators.
This past August, the United States released its first-ever Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gender-Based Violence Globally, accompanied by an Executive Order from President Obama which directs all relevant U.S. agencies to implement the strategy. This is an important step forward " an effort to marshal the United States' expertise and capacity to address gender-based violence, and one that represents a multi-sector and whole-of-government approach.
For example, the U.S. Department of Defense, one of the many agencies which has joined this effort, funded a $2.97 million project administered by the Department of State's Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to help create a civilian police force to respond effectively to cases of gender-based violence. The project has trained male and female police officers on how to investigate gender-based violence cases, built police stations in remote areas, provided essential equipment enabling police to be more responsive to the community, and funded a public awareness campaign on gender-based violence. Local community stakeholders also have been engaged as well with this strategy.
In Afghanistan, the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs supports a training program for prosecutors at Violence Against Women Units at the Office of the Attorney General in Kabul and seven provinces nationwide, which are dedicated to prosecuting crimes against women and girls. Thus far, the units' efforts have led to 27 convictions.
As the U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues, I have met with women and girls in countries all over the world. Everywhere I travel, I hear the stories of the violence that girls and women confront every single day -- at home, walking to school, fetching water, or as targets in conflict. The violence they experience takes so many different forms, from domestic violence to rape, from harmful traditional practices such as female genital mutilation/cutting and child marriage, to "honor" killings, acid violence, and other horrific acts.
Yet, I have also seen the tremendous efforts that women and girls have made to overcome the violence in their lives, and I have been inspired by their resilience and strength. We must support these brave women and girls as they move from pain to empowerment and likewise empower men and boys who are also working to end such violence in communities around the world. This will take the leadership and coordination of a broad range of sectors and partners -- from community and religious leaders to grassroots and faith-based organizations, from police, judges, and prosecutors, to parents and teachers. Engaging men and boys is also critical to addressing the root causes of gender-based violence.
The U.S. government, through this strategy and our many programs around the world, is committed to this effort. We hope people in all corners of the globe will hear the call to action during the16 Days of Activism and work until we eliminate this global scourge and every woman and girl can realize her God-given potential.

Although this brush does a good job on foundation application, the bristles have been shredding (seriously on my first usage) during the first few usages. After nearly a month's usage, the bristles now stop shredding. However, the bristles are so packed and dense that it takes longer to dry out after shampooing, therefore I have to use another foundation brush whenever it is not yet ready.

Rockets fend off relentless Emeralds
RAPID RIVER – The Rapid River Rockets went to extra innings again Wednesday night, squeaking out a 6-5 victory over the Manistique Emeralds in game one. They got rolling in the second game, posting a 10-3 triumph in spite of the windy conditions.
In the latter portion of the doubleheader, the Rockets wasted no time getting on the board. Averi Kanyuh smashed a lead-off double to get things going in the first inning. Aslyn Brockway followed it up with a single, and a couple of pop flys drove them home for the early 2-0 lead.
Rapid River's Neena Brockway started off on fire from the mound, picking up three strikeouts in the second inning. The Rockets supported her effort with their bats, as both Kanyuh girls and both Brockway girls earned hits to earn an early 6-0 advantage.
Manistique would battle their way back in the third. Ashley Menominee got them going with a lead-off single, and then Allie Nagy slammed a triple that would send their first run home with ease. What would have been a base hit for Sydney Chartier turned into a double when the Rockets tried to get the tag on Nagy, but it was unsuccessful and she ended up scoring to make it a 6-2 game.
"I'm very impressed to the way our team played today," said Emeralds coach Jessica Nord. "We had some errors, but defensively we were a lot better (than we were against Negaunee)."
A single by Kelsy Gonyea allowed Chartier to score their third run, and the Emeralds were right back in it. However, that is all that Brockway and her team would allow them to score for the evening.
Rapid River (4-3) scored two more runs in the fourth inning after the first two batters received walks, and then back-to-back base hits by Savannah Stenlund and Neena Brockway drove them in for the score. That made it an 8-3 contest. The Rockets would add a pair of runs to pad the score late in the game, but enough damage was done early on to chalk up the win.
Nord added that although they came up short, there is a lot to be gained from these two games.
"When the umpires tell you your team is a lot better than it has been in the past, that's definitely a confidence builder, especially for the players," Nord said. "It makes you feel proud of what you're doing."
Brockway finished the evening with a blistering 15 strikeouts, and she only gave up seven hits.
"A day like this, with the weather being so cold and windy, that's tough on any pitcher," Rockets coach George Kanyuh said. "But she worked through it and we got it done. Neena's throwing well, and she's doing everything we're asking of her."
The Rockets batting was improved from Monday night. Averi Kanyuh, Aslyn Brockway, and Stenlund all finished with two hits apiece. Stenlund earned three RBIs, and Kanyuh and Brockway each had one.
"It's a constant process of trying to improve on our hitting," coach Kanyuh said. "I'm never happy with the hitting though. If we got 10 runs, then I want 12. It's never enough."
In regards to the coaching change in Manistique, Kanyuh said that Nord knows the game, and she's got her team fired up and ready to play.
"They have a very good program," he added.
Averi Kanyuh pitched for seven innings in the first game, posting seven K's and giving up eight hits for five runs. Stenlund finished the last two innings, striking out three. Kanyuh had three RBIs on two hits in game one, and Stenlund had three hits which included two doubles, and an RBI. Kendyl Miller had two hits, resulting in two RBIs.
Rapid River resumes today, hosting Escanaba, while Manistique (1-5-1) is idle until Tuesday when it hosts Gwinn.

Fatal crash in Watford City area
Obama's public scolding
The Senate last week rejected legislation that would have created more extensive background checks for gun buyers and banned high-capacity ammunition magazines.
The emotional vote drew the ire of President Barack Obama, who used the opportunity to lecture those who opposed the bill. They caved in to the wishes of the NRA, Obama said. The opponents presented no coherent arguments for opposing the legislation, the president said. Polls show that 90 percent of America supports tougher background checks, he continued, but that support clearly didn't get through to members of the Senate.
There will surely be continued debate about new gun control measures, and we're confident that reasonable changes can and will be made. Even the most die-hard Republicans and supporters of the Second Amendment do not want more tragic events like the shooting in Newtown, Conn., nor do they oppose the basic premise that those with serious mental illnesses should have easy access to firearms. But we certainly could do without the public scolding from Obama, who apparently has forgotten that Republicans are not the only ones who have held up important legislation on any number of issues through the years.
We'd also bet that those who voted against the changes last week do have coherent reasoning to support their vote. And since when is it a surprise when members of Congress have different opinions regarding legislation? That's not going to change.
We agree with Obama that the effort to toughen gun laws isn't over. The debate shouldn't be over, but we also hope it's approached with reason on both sides.

Colorado Additions to Income
Individuals who itemize deductions on their federal return, must add back on the Colorado return any state income tax included in their federal deductions. If you do not itemize deductions on your federal income tax return, you will not be required to add back your state income tax on your Colorado return. Additionally, you are not required to add back any real estate taxes or net disaster loss included in your total standard deduction.
If you did itemize deductions on your 2015 federal income tax return but deducted general sales taxes on line 5, schedule A, Form 1040, do not adjust the amount of State Income Tax Deduction. If you did itemize deductions on your 2015 federal income tax return and deducted CO income taxes on line 5, Schedule A, Form 1040, you must add back on your Colorado return any state income tax included in your federal itemized deductions.
*If your federal itemized deductions exceed the standard deduction you could have claimed by an amount that is less than the state tax deduction, you add back only the difference between the itemized and standard deduction amounts. Complete the following schedule to determine your state income tax deduction add back:
(a) State income tax deduction from line 5, Schedule A, federal Form 1040
(b) Total itemized deductions from line 29, Schedule A, federal Form 1040
(c) The amount of federal standard deduction you could have claimed (See line 40, federal Form 1040 for 2015 allowable federal standard deductions).
(d) Line (b) minus line (c), but not less than $0
Enter the smaller of line (a) or line (d) on "Adjust State Income Tax Deduction". For most Colorado taxpayers who itemize deductions, the state income tax deduction add back will be the amount from line 5, Schedule A, Form 1040.
Bond Interest - The amount of any interest earned from bonds issued by any state or political subdivision, excluding any bonds issued by the State Colorado or its political subdivisions on or after May1, 1980. Calculate the appropriate amount by subtracting the amortization of bond premiums and expenses (required to be allocated to interest income by Internal Revenue Code) from the gross amount of state and local bond interest.
Lump-Sum Distribution - Enter the amount of lump-sum distribution from a pension or profit sharing plan you reported on federal Form 4972. Because this income is not included in federal taxable income, these distributions must be added. The distribution should be reduced by any estate tax allocated to the distribution on Form 4972. Distributions included on this line are subject to 10-year averaging on the federal return. If the lump-sum distribution is not subject to 10-year averaging and is included in federal taxable income, then it should not be reported again. Amounts entered on this line may be eligible for the pension exclusion.
Dependent Child Income - Enter the smaller of the amount from line 14, federal Form 8814 or $1,000 if you are electing to report your child's income for federal tax purposes.
Charitable Gross Conservation Easement - Enter any federal charitable contribution deduction on which you also claimed a Colorado gross conservation easement credit.
Partnership/Fiduciary - Enter any fiduciary adjustment or partnership modification that increases your federal taxable income.
Alien Labor - The amount of expenses for unauthorized alien labor services. If this applies to you, please see FYI Publication Income 64.

Passenger Air Traffic Grows, Driven by Emerging Markets
Global air passenger traffic grew by nearly 6 percent in March compared to a year earlier, driven by strong demand growth in emerging markets, according to a report from the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
IATA Director General Tony Tyler said Latin America, the Middle East and China showed the strongest growth. The Middle East reports the strongest international air passenger traffic growth with a 15.6 percent increase over March 2012 and a 14.2 percent increase in capacity.
In contrast, carriers in the United States and Europe saw international traffic growth of less than 4 percent in March compared to a year ago, a reflection of the "persisting weakness" in the Eurozone economy and federal budget cuts in the United States that impacted the nation's air transportation industry.
"Strong demand for air travel is consistent with improving business conditions. Performance, however, has been uneven. Mature markets are seeing relatively little growth while emerging markets continue to show a robust expansion," Tyler said. "In view of this, airlines are responding with a very cautious approach to capacity management."
Domestically, China had the strongest improvement with a 17 percent increase in domestic air travel demand over March 2012, the highest for any region. IATA attributed the strong domestic growth in China to its strong economy. India came in second in domestic gains with a 7 percent increase.
Tyler praised lawmakers for their swift reaction to eliminate the FAA-imposed furloughs that lead to increased flight delays and cancellations last week, and continued his push for the Obama administration to scale back its tax hikes on the airline industry that were included in the president's 2014 budget proposal.
"The next challenge is to knock back the $5.5 billion in added taxes and charges in the Administration's budget proposal, which represent a 29% increase over the $19 billion in fees and taxes that airlines and air travelers paid last year. Under such conditions, the natural ability of aviation connectivity to catalyze economic growth and jobs is compromised," said Tyler.

Topic: Unit Test does not Generate Instance Variables from YML
I am coding my first unit tests. I expected instance variables to be created for each instance named record in my test fixture, but it doesn't seem to be happening. (I'm running Ruby 1.8.2, RoR 1.1.6 should that be relevant.
This is what's in publications.yml:
id: 1
name: Single-Edition
id: 2
name: Multi-Edition
And this is one of my unit tests:
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../test_helper'
class PublicationTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
fixtures :publications
def setup
@pub = Publication.find(1)
# Replace this with your real tests.
def test_create
assert_kind_of Publication, @pub
assert_equal publications("pub_single_ed").name, @pub.name
assert_equal @pub_single_ed.name, @pub.name # <<<< This line causes an error
What I thought would happen is that I could either use the syntax publications("pub_single_ed").name or @pub_single_ed.name to refer to the values in the fixture definition. The line with the instance variable syntax generates an error.
NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
The error occured while evaluating nil.name
test/unit/publication_test.rb:14:in `test_create'
Was this feature eliminated in some version somewhere along the way, or do I need to do something special to enable it. Thanks.

Gearing up for spring
MARQUETTE – The Northern Michigan University Superior Dome will play host to the 20th annual Boat, Sport and RV Show beginning today and running through Sunday.
The show begins at 4 p.m. and runs until 9 p.m. today, and continues from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday. It will conclude Sunday, with hours from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $3.95 for adults, $2.95 for seniors and children ages 6-12. Children under the age of 6 are free.
The event holds the distinction of being the largest indoor display of recreational products in Northern Michigan.
"There is always something new here," said Dave Kimar, product promoter for Northern Michigan Shows.
Nearly 60 vendors will set up booths and between 7,000 to 10,000 people will attend the event. Enthusiasts and vendors travel from across the Upper Peninsula, northern and lower Michigan and Wisconsin.
According to Kimar, one of the hot items last year was the stand up paddle boards. This year, he couldn't pinpoint one item that he felt would get the most attention.
Kimar said products span from smaller items such as archery and hunting, to the bigger items like boats, campers and motor homes. The show will also feature canoes, kayaks, motorcycles, fishing tackle, outfitters and lodges.
"The nice thing about the show is that you can view all of this in one building… to not have to run around and to be able to comparison shop for price and quality in one place is really great," Kimar said.
He added that the show is for all ages. Abracadabra Inflatables of Escanaba will bring some of their inflatable play structures for kids. A trout pond will also be erected for youth to fish for Rainbow Trout.
"After this long winter, this is something to do and I think pepole enjoy seeing what's new and different, whether or not they are buying" Kimar said.
To learn more, call 906-892-8277.

As pilots, we are very interested in the weather. An early lesson one gets while learning to fly is not to put total faith in weather forecasts. I believe it was President Reagan who made famous the phrase– trust, but verify. That certainly applies to forecasts and flying. For the last year-and-a-half AOPA has been working with our friends at the National Weather Service in Alaska to bringing together groups of seasoned pilots from different parts of Alaska to sit down with forecasters and have a discussion about aviation weather needs, primarily focused on VFR flying. Questions asked in these sessions typically start with, "What route do you fly to get from Fairbanks to Eagle?" followed by, "Where along that route do you encounter adverse weather?" A lively discussion regarding the nature of the weather conditions normally follows.
Don Moore manages the Alaska Aviation Weather Unit, located on Sand Lake Road, just south of the Anchorage International Airport, and has led these discussions. After listening to pilots describe some of the conditions that plagued them, he pulled up an experimental forecast product the weather service is working on, and asked if we thought it might be helpful. Following a look at the product, heads started to nod around the table. A few weeks later, an experimental winds aloft forecast was added to the AAWU website, and is available for pilots to use.
This product is based on a computer model, but has finer resolution in time and space than current products we are used to seeing. The arrows indicate the direction of the wind at an altitude selected by the pilot, but the intensity is displayed as a color. Temperature is also displayed as a contour line, with its own color scheme. The legend at the bottom provides the color codes for each feature. Several details about this product are worth noting:
1) The user selects the altitude at the top of the page
2) The tabs across the top allow you to step through different forecast periods
3) The + and – symbols on the top left corner of the image allow you to zoom in (only one step, currently)
4) The + symbol on the upper right edge of the product lets you toggle features on and off (click to expand)
5) The color patches represent the area forecast for each wind speed, the vectors merely show direction.
Please give this product a try. You will find this graphic by clicking a link at the bottom of the Winds Aloft page on the AAWU's website (see yellow arrows, below).
This product is still in development. For now, the National Weather Service would really appreciate receiving pilot reports to help validate this product, as well as their other forecasts. So when you are headed out to fly, please take a few minutes and file PIREPs enroute, including an estimate of the winds aloft. Remember– trust, but verify!

LOS ANGELES -- If Lamborghini makes a coupe, you can be sure a topless version is coming as well. Sure enough, the Italian supercar-maker has revealed a roadster version of its Aventador LP700-4.
And, of course, it's fast: the Aventador Roadster will accelerate from 0-100kph in less than three seconds, with a maximum speed of about 350kph, the automaker claims.
The roadster's two-piece carbon-fiber roof uses patented technologies, with each half of the roof weighing less than 6kg and fitting in the front luggage compartment.
The B-pillar provides support for the removable roof, engages a rollover protection system for occupants and still allows ventilation for the mid-mounted engine.

Broadway Rocks!
Two weeks ago, I saw Rock of Ages (a mock tribute to 80s glam rock) in Toronto. Last weekend I went to New York and saw American Idiot (based on the Green Day album) and Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson (an off Broadway piece with an emo soundtrack). Add to that, 2007′s Tony-winning Spring Awakening and note that 3 of the 4 Tony-nominated "Best Musicals" this season have rock scores, and there can be no doubt about the new soundtrack to Broadway.
If you think about it, this is a natural progression. The "Classic" Broadway sound of the 1940′s and 1950′s is stylistically closer to "standards" which reflects the taste of that generation of theatre goers.
Since the generation that grew up with Elvis and The Beatles is a prime target for Broadway, it's no surprise that their music can be heard now in musicals such as Million Dollar Quartet (Elvis) on Broadway and Rain (The Beatles) in Toronto.
This trend is sure to continue and I hope it succeeds in bringing in new audiences and keeping Broadway relevant. On the other hand, contemporary music in a musical runs the risk of sounding dated once tastes change. I loved 1989′s Miss Saigon but I am shocked how dated it sounds now. Hair was edgy in the 1960s but slid into a comic stereotype in the decades to follow. During last summer's JCC production of HAIR we found audiences re-connecting with the show now that it can be presented as a period piece tribute to the hippie movement, rather than a comic look at "those crazy hippies."
In contrast, Rock of Ages has a no-holds-barred approach with a tongue-in-cheek take on 80′s music that pleases both lovers and haters of the genre. I am not a fan of glam rock, but I love the way it works in Rock of Ages. I found myself enjoying music that I would surely change the radio station to avoid. Of course the amazing talent and exuberant cast of the Toronto production added to the enjoyment.
American Idiot exudes a similar exuberance. A fabulously talented cast combined with stunning visuals makes it one of the most exciting Broadway shows I have ever seen. On the other hand, even a clever emo score could not save Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson.
So maybe the conclusion is that a great show is less about the musical style than it is about the quality of the music, the story and the production. Maybe the lesson here is to just have an open mind and enjoy. Rock on!!!

It is no secret that when women and girls have the opportunity to pursue an education, they directly improve their communities and help entire societies grow. And sometimes, the goodwill and dedication of individual Americans, connected virtually through sites like Facebook, help girls in a rural district of Afghanistan realize their dreams of education and a better future.
As DipNote reported a few months ago, U.S. Embassy Kabul supports the "Teen Teach" program, where Afghan teenagers are trained and then have the chance to teach in classrooms of younger students.
In Chaparhar, a city in Nangarhar district, about 23 kilometers south of Jalalabad close to the eastern border of Afghanistan and Pakistan, the Shulani School participated in the "Teen Teach" program. Despite threats to their safety, the parents walk their children to school everyday. Unfortunately, an attack in March of this year left eight of the school's classrooms destroyed. Despite this setback, the teachers were astonished and inspired when more than 400 enthusiastic students arrived over the course of three days to continue their studies. One father took a photo of some of the girls studying among the rubble, which ended up on Facebook.
Representatives from PAX, a Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) grantee that hosts State Department scholarship high school students from different parts of the world and based in Port Chester, NY, noticed the picture online and offered to donate $1,000 to purchase five tents so the girls would not have to sit in the hot sun during classes. Until the tents arrived, close to 1,350 students were forced to study under the shade of trees and walls in the village. The tents are not only providing shelter, but they also create a sense of a classroom setting, something they had not had since the classrooms were destroyed.
In thanking PAX, school principal Mr. Sahibul Haq said, "On behalf of students and the community of Shulani, I extend special thanks to the PAX-Host Mothers for donating these tents. This kind of support tells us that we are not alone. It also gives us strength to fight those who push our generation towards the darkness of ignorance."
As Secretary of State Clinton has said, "No society can achieve its full potential when half the population is denied the opportunity to achieve theirs." And in the small city of Chaparhar, a small gesture has made the world of difference. And these girls know that they have the support, and now the shelter, from thousands of miles away.
More information about "Teen Teach" can be found here. "Teen Teach," funded through a small embassy grant to the Gandahara Education and Vocational Services, offers free English classes to more than 4,300 students, grades 6-9, also providing a small income to the talented "Teen" teachers and their families.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (835 votes).
In short: A fabulous big race, some great scenery especially up close to HMS Victory. Loads of bands playing, although that does seem to tail off half way round. Crowd support is fabulous and pretty good for the spectators to get around. can be windy! Date of review: October 31, 2012
In short: Typical Great Run event - big and blandIn full: I like big races, so I'm a sucker for a Great Run event, but they do come with negatives. Course is going to be crowded, and usually quite bland - running on wide roads through residential areas. The size of the event is part of the attraction, and that means an effort to get in and out. I planned this one to get in early, have breakfast in the nearest Wetherspoon to wait until the race start, and then to have lunch in the pub afterwards while waiting for the crowds to depart, so it worked out fine for my party, but I can understand that for those who just want a quick run and a getaway the Great Runs are going to be a problem. The best part of the course is through the old harbour - that was quite nice, but overall not a very interesting course. The support from the crowds was very good, especially as it wasn't an inviting day. Amongst the best support outside of London events and the Hastings Half that I've experienced in the UK. Certainly better than the Great North.Goodie bag was usual - no surprises or disappointments there. The usual ignoring of time zones so the course was packed all the way round. Whatever you do, you're either going to be blocked in front, or blocking someone from behind. Great Runs are not for setting PBs, they are for enjoying the experience.The t-shirt was rather sad. A corporate advert, a poor design, and a dull colour. I'll be using it for gardening and then as rags. My time was 1.45, which is what I expected. The low air pressure doesn't enable me to breathe easy and run fast (due to less oxygen in the air), and the crowds inhibit getting into a rhythm, so I didn't expect a PB. Overall, I enjoyed the run, and the whole experience of the weekend, and I'm glad I did it, but that run is now ticked off, and I shan't be doing it again.Date of review: October 31, 2012
In short: Awesome atmosphere and organisation. Only downfall was the weather but you can't blame the organisers for that.Date of review: October 31, 2012
In short: Loved it, excellent organisation and attention to detailIn full: My First time for the GSR! loved it and proud to have been a part of it. felt gruelling at time sbut buoyed on by the crowds, bands and wonderful cheering!A whole week's worth of gorcveris in the goody bag too! An added bonus! Date of review: October 31, 2012
In short: Excellent race, well organised, just wish it was a half marathon!In full: I enjoyed this run very much, it was a cold day, but thankfully less windy than the day before. The atmosphere was great, the crowds were supportive and happy. There were plenty of fluids around the course.Another 3 miles would have made this even more awesome.Date of review: October 31, 2012

In short: Mass race with PB potential if you're near the frontIn full: Great crowd support and atmosphere on yet another drizzly day in Southsea. Very well organised & nice goody bag. Agree with comments that smaller powerade bottles would mean less wastage.Date of review: October 31, 2012
In short: Another great 'Great' RaceIn full: Enjoyable run, my third Great Run of the year (Edinburgh, Birmingham and South). Becoming a very stong brand and you know what you are going to get. Race was fine, happy with time, although ther was a bottleneck near the start. So that's the good stuff, however, if we are running as a healthy choice and to save the evironment then supply more bins as only BP had a biggert clean up job in the gulf of Mexico and dear Powerade people, just a tip, what about a bottle either a third or a quarter of the size. Massive waste of plastic, massive waste of your sports drink and the gutter is not the best place for product placement.Date of review: October 31, 2012

In July of this year, Assistant Secretary Kurt Campbell, U.S. Pacific Fleet Commander Admiral Patrick Walsh, and USAID Deputy Director Nisha Biswal undertook a seven-day trip to eight Pacific Island countries to highlight the U.S. government's effort to promote defense, democracy, and development in the South Pacific. Concurrently, the USS Cleveland was approaching Micronesia, carrying what has become a hallmark of the "whole-of-government, 3-D's forward" effort: the annual training exercise and humanitarian mission known as Pacific Partnership.
On September 27 and 28, Pacific Fleet held its annual initial planning conference for Pacific Partnership 2012. Over 100 participants gathered for briefings on the early parameters of this year's mission, including representatives of the host nations, partner nations, NGOs, and several U.S. government and military organizations.
Pacific Partnership has been invited by the governments of Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Cambodia during the summer of 2012. The hospital ship USNS Mercy will carry up to 1,000 personnel, and visit each country for two weeks between June and September. These visits serve multiple purposes: they are training missions for the U.S. Navy, which is called upon more and more frequently during worldwide disasters, such as the 2010 Haiti earthquake and the earthquake/tsunami which devastated parts of Japan this year; they are exercises which bring civilian and military doctors, nurses, veterinarians, engineers, pilots, and logisticians together -- everyone needed to undertake a successful humanitarian response -- to work under real-life scenarios. Perhaps, most beneficial of all, they offer thousands of individuals an opportunity to meet each other, work together, and establish understanding and trust which will contribute to future cooperation when natural or man-made disasters occur.
PP12 planners have set a demanding schedule. Worldwide video teleconferences (VTCs) will begin on October 12 and be held weekly from now until the Mercy sails in the spring. Pre-Deployment Site Survey (PDSS) teams are being formed to visit the host countries in November and December and create detailed operational plans to be finally vetted by all participants prior to final announcement of the mission by the Navy. Based on the impressive detail presented during the initial planning conference, PP12 promises to build on all the earlier missions to train even more first-responders and to bring health services to many remote areas.
Chris in California writes:
I'm hearing that Guam and Subic Bay are the liberty calls this time. Please tell me that the ship will stop in Singapore as in years past.
Cam in Vietnam writes:
"China Sea" is a hot issue among South East Asia countries. This term is inappropriate usage but in the APAN -GIS VIEWER (Pacific Partnership 2012 -Apan Community, this web uses this name. In many countries in ASIA, this sea is also called East Sea or West Sea according to their geographical site.

Very good chart, if a bit pricey...
By Jessica

About Me Teacher
Best Uses
Comments about Learning Resources Solar System Pocket Chart:
I bought this chart when I moved to first grade last summer, and I brought it back to Kindergarten with me when I moved back less than a month later. I teach a LARGE unit on the solar system and space with 5-6 year olds. We study the enitre solar system, from sun to dwarf planets and space from comets to nebulas and black holes. I use a pocket chart to do a big KWL chart - I normally used the rainbow pocket chart from Learning Resources. This pocket chart is sturdier than that one and has the nice bonus of the solar system silk screened on it. (Pluto is still there! Why? Not a planet!) I did not use the cards that came with it; I would have liked an option to purchase the chart without the cards to lower the price. The pocket at the bottom of the chart was nice - I could keep my index cards and coding markers in it. The magnets at the bottom helped it from flopping and flapping around. My big thing is that it is too expensive. Lower the price and either remove Pluto or add the other dwarf planets... then it's a five star product.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The Columbus Dispatch - July 09, 2013 03:43 PM
FirstEnergy is planning to shut down two coal-fired power plants in western Pennsylvania within the next few months, an announcement today that is bad news for the coal industry for many reasons.
The Akron-based utility is blaming the cost of environmental compliance for the decision to deactivate plants in Masontown and Courtney, Pa. Together, the plants' capacity is 2,080 megawatts, which is about 10 percent of FirstEnergy's overall capacity. One megawatt provides enough electricity to serve about 1,000 houses.
If you are a coal executive or worker, the loss of the two plants will mean less demand for your product at a time when the coal industry is already suffering.
Notably, one of the plants is a "supercritical" generator, which means it uses a high-pressure system to produce more electricity relative to its harmful emissions. By shutting down a plant that is relatively efficient, FirstEnergy could be seen as signaling that coal is a risky bet going forward.
Julian Dumoulin-Smith, an analyst for UBS Securities, said in a research note today that he sees FirstEnergy's announcement as the start of a fresh wave of shut-downs.
"We also view today's announcement as potentially indicating that yet further retirements may be coming," he said, listing American Electric Power and Duke Energy as companies to keep an eye on.
Environmentalists will applaud today's news, but it is a bad day for hundreds of families with jobs tied to the plants. FirstEnergy estimates that 380 employees will be affected.

Re: having problems updating my 9900 with desktop software
Any issues with the USB connector? I had to have mine in a cradle to charge, and to update, would work if my phone was upright and the wire not stressed at all, bad connectors after a year and a month of use. A month to late for warranty exchange.

OP: You will need to completely delete the vendor.xml files that are on your PC, for your BBDM or AppLoader (preferred way to load) to see the OS you downloaded. To do that, you can manually do a search using your PC Start menu button. In the search line type: vendor.xml and do a complete search of your PC. There should be two files there--one in the program files and one on the hard drive. It will find them and when it does, you need to delete them from the pc and from your recycle bin. Sometimes they are hidden so if you can't find them, then you can down load this program called "Vendelete" which is a simple dos program that does the search for you and through it, you can delete them. Below is the thread that has the download for it. Open the download link and download Vendelete to your PC and run it. Only takes a minute.
You need to delete these two carrier files in order for the AppLoader or DM to see the download. Once they are deleted, you should go to AppLoader and click on install. Make sure and do a complete back up of your phone on BBDM prior to installing it. Both AppLoader and BBDM do a complete wipe of the phone prior to installing the update so you will want to have your files backed up! Here is the link for Vendelete: http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...-files-709738/. Give this a try and if you still can't install it, let us know and someone on here will come up with the answer. Good luck!

www.ccleaner.com) which a free and powerful utility. It will dump all the little bits of trash that is still hanging around.
I've never done an update ota but would think USB is a better route. If it were me using a USB connection, I'd do a complete wipe with BBSAK after backing up. Then go back through the steps and and make sure the new download didn't dump a vendor.xml file or two on you pc somewhere that's hidden. Also check your recycle bin and dump if you haven't already with CCleaner. I've had this happen before and even though I found the initial 2 vendor.xml files, it wouldn't see the OS, and then it hit me that the new download added thier vendor.xml files and sure enough they were there. I dumped them and bingo it did its thing.
Anyway, I'd do a full back up a couple of different places, write down any 3rd party app license keys, then wipe the phone> re-download the OS to the PC, recheck for vendor.xml files, and then use Apploader to install it. Keep us posted as this is an interesting case. Thanks and Good Luck!

Double/triple-check that you have the correct device OS for your model number installed on the computer. Look in "Add/Remove Programs" on your computer.
Have you tried using the AppLoader (Loader.exe) to install the device OS instead of the BlackBerry Desktop Software?

Did you read the instructions in the link I posted?
1) back up phone with DM and then close DM.
2) delete vendor.xml files. (at least 2, maybe more hiding--use vendelete.
3) download new OS from download page.
3) Click on Loader.exe and let it do it's thing.
4) Go to AppWorld and reinstall apps that didn't install back on your device.
That's all there is to it.

"You Make Them Do What?": A National Survey on Field Seminar Assignments
This national study of MSW field directors provides data on field seminars and assignments. Field directors at CSWE accredited or in-candidacy MSW programs were surveyed regarding program data, presence and nature of a field seminar, required assignments, and opinion questions about CSWE requirements. Findings from the 141 completed surveys (66.2% response rate) show assignments are similar between foundation and concentration years, and also similar to assignments required in the BSW curriculum. This raises questions of curriculum redundancy and how to properly sequence field assignments. Other findings about field education and field seminar are also presented.

How is Adagio pronounced. Is the "G" hard or soft? Don't judge me too harshly for asking.
Is the water considered boiling the second the teapot hisses? I stick a thermometer in real quick after it whistles but it tends to be around 176ish each time.. I know that heat escapes once I open the lid.. but that much, that quick? ..does that mean my thermometer is no longer calibrated correctly, or my teapot busted, or both? Or shall I let it whistle longer? Though, I heard it's not good to boil it for too long.
Also.. perhaps I am way behind the times, but I wasn't aware that the "30 second rinse" to remove a lot of the caffeine in tea was a myth, and actually only really succeeds at removing mucho antioxidants: http://artoftea.com/wordpress/2010/01/1 ... e-natural/

Can I also use it on any other material, say plastic and glass? I could end up stenciling my entire kitchenware but am sure I won't regret it."

- For each ear: Fold in half lengthwise reserved 5 1/2" stocking piece and stitch a 1/4" seam along sides and across one end; trim close to stitching and turn right side out. Fold chenille stem, creating long U-shape, and insert into stocking; fold over ends of stocking and twist together tightly ends of chenille stem.

OK, I'll admit I'm not a big fan of "word clouds," those graphical representations of how often a particular word appears in a document. But this one works. CNS graphics artist Emily Thompson created it using the words that appear in Pope Benedict XVI's new encyclical, "Caritas in Veritate" ("Charity in Truth"). The words "human" and "development" jump right out at you. And that's what this encyclical is all about.

A friend of mine preached a sermon last week from the gospel text of the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard, with the title, "Brother, Can You Spare a Denarius?" You can check out the video here. One of the things Rev. Eichinger highlights is what a gift the ability to work and earn a living truly is.
Echoing Martin Luther's famous dictum Wir sein pettler ("We are all beggars"), Rev. Eichinger says, "It is God demonstrating his grace when he provides us with work and vocation so that we can provide for ourselves and our family." The hymn following the sermon was, "Hark, the Voice of Jesus Calling." Here's the first stanza:
Hark, the voice of Jesus calling,
"Who will go and work today?
Fields are white and harvests waiting,
Who will bear the sheaves away?"
Loud and long the master calls you;
Rich reward he offers free.
Who will answer, gladly saying,
"Here am I. Send me, send me"?
In God's Yardstick, their book on stewardship, Lester DeKoster and Gerard Berghoef note that it is our habit to "take for granted all the possibilities which work alone provides. And we become aware of how work sustains the order which makes life possible when that order is rent by lightning flashes of riot or war, and the necessities which work normally provides become difficult to come by."
The way in which God's providential care for us extends to providing us the regular means to earn our daily bread was the theme in a brief reflection on President Obama's jobs speech a few weeks ago. In the meantime, Baylor University released a survey that found some correlation between faith in God, work, and government. According to Christianity Today, the survey "found that nearly three-quarters of Americans agree that 'God has a plan for all of us.' Those who agreed more strongly were more likely to see financial success as the result of hard work and ability. As a result, they were also least supportive of government programs that help those out of work." Below the break is a full story courtesy ENI that explores the Baylor study. For a heart-breaking glimpse into what uncritically sharing a "denarius" with a stranger can do, read this story.

Pueblo West's No. 1 doubles team of Michael Trevithick and Matt Waldenmeyer won the Region 7 championship by defeating the Mesa Ridge "one dubs" in the finals.
This winning tandem is reaping the rewards of their tough offseason training.
Walsenmeyer and Trevithick will compete in the state championships on their own "home" court at City Park in Pueblo today through Saturday.
West's number three singles player Greg Wakefield also advanced to the state championships by finishing second in a very difficult 10-man bracket.
The Cyclones had also set a goal of winning the regional team title.
Unfortunately, they fell just short.
All 11 of the Pueblo West players had strong showings in the first day of the regional tournament at City Park, and the team was in a good position to accomplish this goal.
But three of the Cyclones doubles teams drew an extra playback match on Saturday afternoon.
Since only the top two finishers qualify for state, these playback matches are necessary when the third place team (or individual), has not yet had an opportunity to play the second place finisher in their bracket.
These "true second" matches are tense, with someone going home disappointed for having come so close to being a state qualifier.
Each of the Cyclones teams battled hard, but unfortunately, all six of the West players wore the long faces at the end of the round.
And, to add injury to insult, their team lost the region championship to Pueblo Central by a mere three points.
As the disappointment wanes, the Cyclones can to point to many positives.
All of their singles players, and three out of the four doubles teams finished in the top four in the region.
All of their underclassmen gained invaluable experience that will only make them stronger, and a contender once again next season.
In the meantime, they will all be pulling for their three teammates in the state tournament.

The EP-800 is a liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) projection system. Turkish Airlines will deploy the system across its nine flight simulators.
"The learning experience gained by trainees through the high-fidelity realism of this state-of-the-art graphic system is invaluable and Turkish Airlines pilots will be better prepared for real-life situations," said LeAnn Ridgeway, vice president and general manager, simulation and training solutions for Rockwell Collins.
EP-8000 has achieved Level D certification from several civil aviation regulatory authorities, according to Rockwell Collins.
