President Obama hammered Wall Street and Washington on Wednesday, saying they had done too little for too long to help ordinary people.
"For decades, too many of our institutions, from Washington to Wall Street, failed to adapt, or they adapted in ways that didn't work for ordinary folks, for middle-class families, for those aspiring to get into the middle class," the president said in remarks at the the University of Colorado's Denver campus.
Obama's remarks seemed to echo arguments made by the "Occupy Wall Street" movement, which some Democrats say could help the president in his 2012 reelection campaign.
"We had a philosophy that said if we cut taxes for the very wealthiest, and we gut environmental regulations, and we don't enforce labor regulations, and somehow if we let Wall Street just write the rules, that somehow that was going to lead to prosperity, and instead, what it did was culminate in the worst financial crisis and the deepest recession since the Great Depression."
The president also slammed Congress for failing to act on his jobs plan.
"There are steps we can take right now to put Americans back to work and give our economy a boost … the problem is there are some in Washington who don't seem to share this same sense of urgency," Obama said.
The president noted that Republicans in the Senate voted in unison against his jobs bill, and that those Republicans also opposed more narrow legislation to give money to states to hire teachers and first responders.
Obama left out the fact that a handful of Democrats also voted against both procedural motions.
The president also criticized Republican opposition to raising taxes on the wealthy.
"[The jobs bill] was paid for by asking those who have done the best in our society, those who have made the most, to do just a little bit more, and it was supported by an overwhelming majority of the American people," Obama said. "But they still said no, and it doesn't make any sense. How can you say no to creating jobs at a time when so many people are looking for work?"
The comments were similar to remarks Obama has been making over the last few weeks, as the White House looks to portray Republicans as obstructionist. Before Obama spoke, he was rebuked by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who charged Obama with fomenting class warfare.
"Sowing social unrest and class resentment makes America weaker, not stronger," Ryan said.
The purpose of Obama's visit was to lay out his new student loan program, but he did so by circling back to Congress's failure to act on his jobs bill. Obama said that instead of pushing Congress to pass education reform, he would act via a series of executive actions to reduce the debt burden on recent college graduates.
The president's "Know Before You Owe" initiative will cap loan payments at a percentage of income, consolidate loan payments and, in some cases, lower interest payments.
"We should be doing everything we can to put a college education within reach for every American," Obama said. "It's never been more expensive. There was a new report today — tuition has gone up again on average, much faster than inflation, certainly much faster than wages and incomes," Obama said.
The president argued that the student loan program was necessary because students left college with an average of $24,000 in debt, and were having trouble finding jobs to pay back those loans.
Student loan debt surpassed credit card debt in the U.S. for the first time ever this year.

Meadowview students raise money during Jump Rope for Heart event

In just two days, students in grades 1-5 at Meadowview Elementary School raised $13,000 for the American Heart Association through the annual Jump Rope for Heart event. On Friday, students in grades 4-5 stayed active for half an hour, going from station to station jumping rope or using hula hoops. The idea, said physical education teacher Joe McCarthy, is to keep their heart rate up for that whole period. On the walls hang more than 300 posters the students made for Jump Rope for Heart.

Financial services for the rural poor and women in India: Access and sustainability
This paper, based on a study commissioned by the World Bank, reviews the performance of Indian financial institutions in providing services to the rural poor and examines the key issues facing policy makers and institutions as the country moves forward on financial sector reforms. The study posits two sets of causal variables for institutional performance: (i) Internal Practices Attitudes (IPAs); and (ii) mechanisms for client interface that either enhance or thwart access by the rural poor and women (MEAs). Both of these variables are largely within the control of the financial institutions. The study sought to identify changes in these variables that could improve access to financial services by the rural poor. The authors conclude, however that rural financial institutions are faced with a hierarchy of constraints, largely beyond their control, and any attempt at developing workable and sustainable approaches to improved access of the rural poor to financial services will need to address a whole range of macro-policy issues including depoliticization, ownership and governance in addition to regulatory issues.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Alarm systems are designed to alert police when there's trouble at your home or office. Sometimes… that's not the case.
If your home or office alarm accidentally goes off, you'll find a warning hanging on your door. It's from Wilmington Police Department, telling you that if they have to respond to a false alarm a second time, you'll be charged $50.00.
"We answer 14,000 alarm calls a year. 99 percent of them are false. So, you know, we're like every other agency out there. We're having to do more with less. This is just one area that we were trying to improve upon. We could free up some time for police officers to do things out on patrol like fighting crime and not answering false alarms, and we just shouldn't be there." Captain Jeff Allsbrook said the first false alarm is a freebie, but every time after that, you'll be billed for the beeps.
One Wilmington resident thinks there's an easier solution.
"The Police can prioritize certain responders to stuff like that. Because, you know, if it keeps going off, then, just ignore it, you know, that's their problem." Jeremy Hall has an alarm system but says he's never accidentally tripped it.
Allsbrook understands that some people do have accidents, but said all the police ask is that you let them know if it's not a true emergency. Since November, 70 to 100 homes and businesses per week have been charged $50.00 each for false alarms. The fine money goes into the general fund for the city.
"We're not looking to make money on this, we're trying to reduce the number of false alarms and free up patrol time for our officers to be out there in the neighborhoods and fighting crime, doing things they should be doing." Allsbrook said WPD is still working out some kinks, and if you are billed for the first false alarm, you can appeal.
Captain Allsbrook said you will not be billed if your alarm system goes off because of a power outage or natural disaster.

University destroyed in Moluccas
Muslim and Christian activists in Indonesia's Moluccan islands have accused each other of arson after a university went up in flames in the city of Ambon.
The blaze, in the Poka area of the city, destroyed most of the Pattimura campus, including the library and nearby houses.
There were also reports of gunshots in the city, with five people reported killed.
The latest unrest comes a week after the Indonesian Government declared a state of civil emergency in the islands.
The local military commander, Colonel Made Yassa, said the killings occurred in fighting late on Monday between rival Christian and Muslim gangs in the university area.
Colonel Yassa said gunfire and explosions could still be heard on Tuesday on Ambon's outskirts, but that the centre of the city was calm.
Weapons missing
According to the official Antara news agency, police and the military have been trying to recover more than 800 guns and hundreds of thousands of bullets stolen from two police arsenals last month.
So far, they have managed to retrieve only 10 guns and scores of grenades and tear-gas canisters, the agency said.
Last week, a ferry carrying an estimated 500 people fleeing violence in the Moluccas sank in a storm. Ten survivors were later found clinging to debris.
Most of the refugees were believed to be from the village of Duma, where at least 114 people were killed when Muslim fighters attacked the village earlier this month.
Indonesia is predominantly Muslim, but the Moluccas, or Spice Islands, have a majority Christian population.

New Delhi, June 28 (IANS) The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) has warned that the continuing decline in exports would result in layoffs besides putting pressure on the current account deficit (CAD).
The statement came a day after Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan's warning that the global economy is on the brink of a 1930s-type Great Depression.
"The global economy, which hitherto was in challenging phase, is entering into a dangerous stage which will have ominous implications for India and the world," FIEO president S.C. Ralhan on Saturday said in a statement here.
Ralhan said that based on the current order booking position, he is apprehensive that exports may significantly decline in volume in the months ahead, which will result in layoffs in jobs.
"It would be a big setback for the country, which has kept employment creation its top priority and is aiming to create 10 million jobs every year," he said.
"If exports continue to move in negative territory, it will sooner or later put pressure on the CAD (current account deficit) also and may derail rebuilding of the economy which the new government is keen to do as forex reserves will not provide the cushion which the exports provide," Ralhan added.
India's merchandise exports continued to decline for the second month this fiscal, this time down by over 20 percent at $22.35 billion in May from $27.99 billion in the like month of the previous year, official data showed earlier this month.
Cumulatively, for the first two months of this fiscal, exports at $44.40 billion were down 17.21 percent over that during April-May 2015.
Saying that he was in full agreement with the RBI governor, Ralhan also said that the consecutive six-month decline in exports shows that the current level of state support for exports is not sufficient.
Rajan, who had predicted the 2008 US financial collapse, has been warning that global markets are now at the risk of a crash due to the competitive loose monetary policies being adopted by developed economies.
Pointing to the very low interest rate policies of the US Federal Reserve, the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England in a bid to stimulate their economies, Rajan has been warning that emerging markets are especially vulnerable to big shifts in capital flows triggered by the unprecedented monetary accommodation in rich countries.

Attention Todd,
You are my last hope before I gave up CJ and issue CJ a court letter. so far you are the only real "HUMAN BEING" working in CJ who reply to affiliates.
This "Tom Huckenberry" gave me this answer and hope I'll get away in peace.
"Note that your account still should be significantly in the negative due to the compliance reversal of fraudulently obtained commissions." What the fxxk is this?? Anybody heard of?
I am sick of CJ cut-and-paste style in answering questions, and worst without showing me which lead has problem and simply reverse all leads. There could be bad apples but tom burned my apple tree! Reversal is OK consider my bad luck, but not with NEGATIVE balance. This TOM moron further admit its an error but take no action to fix the bug and give me this B.S. Look at my question below and what he replies. I don't even know what is "CJRP Bonuses", all I'm asking is about reversed leads which CJ mistakenly double deduct my account. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif[/img]
Email from: firstname.lastname@example.com (as usual)
Tom Huckenberry wrote (Aug 24 9pm):
I think that you will find that this is now correct. The issue was due to your CJRP Publisher Lead Residual Bonus that was calculated incorrectly. You should have been paid $116 but only got $34.
This has now been corrected and the balance is now closer to what it should be. There will be a further CJRP Bonus added to this account in Sept for their July traffic which should then balance it all out completely. We will only have these problems for these 2 months (June/July) traffic, after Sept this period of transition will be over and all CJRP Bonuses will be paid by the new
system regularly.
Note that your account still should be significantly in the negative due to the compliance reversal of fraudulently obtained commissions.
Tom Huckenberry wrote earlier:
Your current account balance seems like it could be an error. We will audit this and let you know what we find.
My question to your support:
Why am I seeing "NEGATIVE BALANCE"? For a month, nobody answer this and I miss the latest payment and still seeing negative balance. Shall anybody within CJ reply this or until we contact California Department of Justice?
August 24th, 2002, 10:35 PM #2
Note that your account still should be significantly in the negative due to the compliance reversal of fraudulently obtained commissions.
What the heck do they mean by "fraudulently optained commissions"? Isn't the CJPR for links on our sites promoting CJ, and wouldn't CJ know for sure if they were fradulent very early on (like they did not pay their sign up fee to CJ)?
I, for one, think they could have given you a better response (unless I'm missing something here).

I purchased the 1000tc fitted double sheet. I have previously purchased a 600TC one which I was delighted with and wondered whether it was possible to be any better. This new one is just fabulous. My first impression was how thick the fabric was and of excellent quality. Your sheets improve with washing, they just get softer and softer and I LOVE THEM and wouldnt sleep on anything else now. If you have any doubts about buying, DONT! These sheets are beautiful, of excellent quality (and my old one is as good now as when I purchased it about 2 years ago if not better!).


text: There is a Rainbow Bridge. I'm a scientific person and can certainly present instances of personal experience. I have some experience with death. I have been visited by people close to me who have passed on. And the nearest thing I can point to as describing the afterlife is the Robin Williams movie "What Dreams May Come". Not long after his death, he is reunited with his dog, who had passed on long before him. When a close friend had passed away, he passed through our house at the time of his death, as a desire to be near, one last time. When my first wife passed away, she visited a few months later. And the impression was that the afterlife still included work and effort of a personal nature. And that she was okay and moving on but wanted to let me know before a final transition. So, judging from my personal experience, there is a Rainbow Bridge and our pets are doing fine. It's not just an abstract concept for me or a way to feel better about their passing or something to tell kids that are upset at their passing. It's a place of great joy that they go to when it is their time.


text: Here are this week's games: Super C for the NES 500 Points is the sequel to the smash hit Contra, developed by Konami and originally released in 1988 as an arcade game. In this title, the alien forces from the original game have taken over a base in an undisclosed region of South America and the player(s) once again assume the roles of protagonists Bill Rizer and Lance Bean to counter the alien invasion. The original arcade version of Super Contra played essentially the same as its forebearer. The main difference was in its versatility. While the original "Contra" had three versions of gameplay (side-scrolling, up-scrolling, and pseudo-first-person), Super Contra added a top-view perspective as well as improving the scrolling levels by including inclined surfaces. As a result of this and changes to the enemy forces, it was a more difficult game to master. Breath of Fire II for the SNES 800 Points It was originally released for the Super Famicom in Japan in 1994 by Capcom. It was released in North America in 1995 by Capcom, before Laguna released it in Europe in 1996. The story begins in a flashback sequence of when Ryu, the protagonist, is six years old and living in the town of Gate. He goes off to find his sister, who has left to sleep under the dragon guarding the entrance to the underworld. During this sequence he becomes an orphan as his father and his sister disappear, and no one in town remembers him. He goes to the orphanage, which is run by the dominant church of St. Eva, and another orphan named Bow, goes out in the middle of the night, with Ryu following him. They enter a cave, and are soundly defeated by a demon named Barubary. It is a traditional top down RPG in the vein of Final Fantasy & Zelda. Ghouls 'n Ghosts Sega Genesis 800 Points The gameplay for Ghouls n' Ghosts is similar to that of Ghosts 'n Goblins. The player controls the knight Arthur, who must advance through a series of eerie levels and defeat a number of undead and demonic creatures in his quest to restore souls stolen by Lucifer (Loki in the English-language Sega Genesis and Sega Master System versions), including the soul of his bride, Princess Prin Prin. Along the way, Arthur can pick up a variety of weapons and armor to help him in his quest.

After 38 years, the London Knights are going to have to find someone else to do their laundry.
Don Brankley, a man who is as much the face of the Knights as any of their star players, will be leaving his job as head trainer at the end of the 2007-08 season.
Brankley has been a fixture in the dressing room. He's the only full-time trainer the Knight have ever had. He's the longest-serving trainer in the Ontario Hockey League and likely one of the longest-serving trainers in any sport.
Yet ask him what's happening and his response is always the same -- "I just do the laundry."
But if you ran a laundry list of what he really does, trainer, confessor, confidant, advisor, psychologist, philanthropist and fashion consultant would all be on it.
"I guess you could check off all those boxes," said Brankley.
Unique doesn't come close to describing him.
"Every year I do the same thing. I say let's see what it brings. I'll be 60 years old in February. I don't know when I decided. (The organization and I) just talked about it. The seasons are really long. By the end of the season, I'm exhausted. There's a lot of pressure. I thought, after taking care of people for 38 years, maybe it's time to take care of myself a few years."
For Brankley, this was never just a job, it was a vocation. He spent the first 31 years of his tenure living in the London Gardens/Ice House dressing room. The John Labatt Centre hasn't been his official residence these past years, but it may as well be with all the time he spends there.
You won't get much of an argument when you say no one takes care of a hockey team and "Branks Boys," as well as Branks.
The list of players who keep in touch with Branks is long and impressive.
His capacity for hard work, dedication and reliability is unquestioned. He'll be the first to tell you that his life has been the London Knights.
"I'm surrounded by memories," he said, pointing to the hundreds of photographs in his dressing room.
Ask him about a date or a player and the first thing he'll say, "I'd have to look at the picture. Every picture in here I can go on with stories about them forever.
"The memories have never stopped from the first minute I came to London (from his native Capreol in Northern Ontario). Now maybe I'll have the chance to sit back and think about them. Memories are something you have to stop and take time to think about. I've never had time to do that."
Brankley says he hasn't given much thought yet to what the future holds.
"I know it will be strange when the last playoff game is over. The saddest moment for me was when I walked out of the Ice House. That might be magnified 10 times.
"I've seriously not sat down and thought about it. I've always been one to make decisions quickly. I made a decision to come here quickly and never regretted it. I turned down two NHL jobs and never regretted it.
"So I guess when I make this decision, I won't regret it. I guess I could have stayed for 40 years, but 38 is enough. I don't think anyone is going to touch this record. The watch they give you at the end never gets any bigger."
Brankley says the years have flown by. He says he remembers clearly the first day he came to the London Gardens in 1970. He was called on a Friday to start the job on a Monday. He had already been accepted into Laurentian University, but opted for the Knights.
"General manager Doug Pratt showed me around and gave me the key to the arena," said Brankley, who thought that was a pretty good thing. "He leaves, I put the key in the lock and break it off. It was an old key. Since then I've broken a lot of things -- most of the records for how long a trainer has been around."
Brankley says he's talked this over with Mark Hunter, Knights co-owner and general manager, and Hunter told him he could stay as long as he wanted.
Branks will be involved in the hiring of his replacement.
As his final year progresses, enough Brankley stories will surface to fill a book. But the most important thing will always be his players.
"I've been lucky. There hasn't been one player I can honestly say I didn't like."
Brankley is always hesitant about focusing on any one player. But when pushed, he lists Pat Kane as the most talented player he's seen, Louie DeBrusk as the toughest, Vern Stenlund the smartest, Brandon Prust the most personable, Gene Chiarello the bravest and Greg Smyth the most "lovably unpredictable."
Branks won't talk about a favourite player, but it's no secret he has special relationships with Brendan Shanahan, Rick Nash and Dino Ciccarelli.
"Rick Nash said to me once, 'Brendan's your all-time favourite.' I said to him, 'I don't have an all-time favourite because it wouldn't be fair.' He said to me, 'Branks, can I be your all-time favourite?' I said, 'no one's really applied for it. If you want to be, you can be.'
"When we e-mail, he signs it 'Rick your ATF (all-time favourite.' Somehow Brendan hears that story. During the Memorial Cup, someone interviewed Brendan on a story about me. The guy says, 'so, you're Branks' all-time favourite?' and Brendan says, 'no, that's Rick Nash.' "
Brankley and the NHL star continue to have a close relationship. Shanahan bought him a truck 10 years ago, a truck Branks still drives. He was one of the few hockey people who attended Shanahan's wedding. It's a relationship that began the day Shanahan was drafted by the Knights.
"I went to get him in the stands, he was chewing gum. He saw me coming and stuck the gum in his pants pocket," Brankley recalled. "I introduced him to everyone at the table. After a while I leaned over and said to him, 'Brendan, never wear white socks with a black suit.'
"About the fourth round, standing there waiting for one of the kids to come down, Brendan comes over and says 'Branks, look.' He told his parents what I'd said. They went to the store and bought him black socks.
"Years later he's on the cover of GQ magazine for how well he dresses."
Brankley's durability is beyond belief. In all his years, he's missed only five games -- two because of suspension and three when he was with the Canadian team at the world junior championship.
He never misses practice. Remarkable, considering the hours he keeps, his diet and the travel schedule.
"I've never been sick, ever. I've never called in sick but then again, I'd have to call out sick because where else would I be?
"I'm the most unhealthy person you'd ever meet. I'm a meat and potatoes guy, peanut butter and jam sandwiches, coffee, chocolate bars, chips. I never eat anything green. I've never had a salad in my life.
"I tell my players to eat that -- but I never eat it."
Branks never married.
Even though he loves this city, he'll move back to Capreol when he's done. He's a history buff so he wants to travel, to see it live rather than just on the History or Discovery channels.
He admits he's missed things because of the life he chose to live. He calls his personal life a "casualty of my willingness to be dedicated to hockey."
"I have no regrets. I gave up my life to do what I do," he said. "If I came back in another life, I wouldn't like the word dedication. I don't go out. I just don't have time. Other than in hockey, I don't have a lot of friends my age.
"But the rewards have been phenomenal."
Branks knows news of his retirement will stun many people.
"I've always said I wanted to die here," he said, pointing to the dressing room.
"But hey, the year isn't over yet."

How should I properly dispose of rusty hooks and old lead sinkers?
????-Russell Strope, Grove City, Ohio
This isn't as difficult as you might think. In the small quantities that anglers typically have hooks and lead sinkers, they can generally just discard them like they would any other trash. Of course, you'll want to carefully wrap up the hooks so they don't hurt anyone.
Lead must be ingested to be harmful, and some studies have shown that it can harm waterfowl and other birds. Just be sure to put it in the trash and keep discarded lead sinkers away from waterways and other places where birds congregate, so they won't ingest them.????-BASS Conservation Director Chris Horton

wikiHow to Throw a Change Up in Fast Pitch Softball
The change up is a very important tool in pitching. It can confuse girls, making them swing too early because of the drastic difference in speed between your fastball and change up. Keep in mind that there are many ways to throw a change up so if this method doesn't work for you, know that you still have many options.
1Find the "C" grip. The "C" grip is the part of the softball in which the seams create a C shape.
2Have your fingers grip slightly above the "C" and try to hold the ball in the palm of your hand.
3For your release, everything in your pitching motion remains the same, just the release is different from a fastball. After coming around in your circle motion, you want to release the ball with your arm straight and with your "C" turned on it's side. Let go of the ball no higher than your belly button.
4Make sure your wind-up is the same speed during your change up as it is during your fastball. This way, coaches and players won't know what pitch you're trying to throw.

- A fastball thrown right after a change up will seem faster.
- Watch your release point because if you let go too high, that ball will go very high.
- Keep your wind up the same speed or coaches will be able to spot your change up and that batter could potentially hit it very hard if she knows it's coming.
- Don't throw many change ups in a row because it will be able to become predictable.

3 votesAt this stage of his career, I didn't know if Luc Besson was losing it or not, he's pretty unpredictable at times, but I took the risk and snapped up this film anyway. I think it was the DVD case artwork that drew me in, it's pretty special and intriguing.
I wasn't disappointed, this is a really good film. What sold it for me is how amazing an actor Jamel Debbouze is. He is charisma... read more

Indeed, after 6 long years, Luc Besson was finally back in the directing chair and, up to that point, he was probably the most ambitious French director at work.

Description: Down-on-his-luck petty criminal Andre (Jamel Debbouze) has reached the end of his rope. Irreversibly in debt to a local gangster, with no one to turn to, his only solution is to plunge himself into the Seine. Just as he is perched to do so, a fellow bridge-jumper beats him to the water. Diving in, he saves Angela (Rie Rasmussen), a beautiful, statuesque and mysterious woman. As they pull themselves out the water, the two form a bond and venture into the streets of Paris determined to get Andre out of the hole he has found himself in.

A Complete Review of Luc Besson's work (36 movies items)
" Cast : Jamel Debbouze, Rie Rasmussen What was it about? A beautiful woman helps an inept scam artist get his game together. My two cents: After 6 long years, Luc Besson was finally back in the directing chair so I was really eager to check the damned thing and I had some rather high expectations. Eventually, like all the other movies directed by Besson, it was quite gorgeous to look at with some really nice black-and-white cinematography but, once again as usual with Besson's work, the "

Iran's ayatollah renounces nuclear weapons
TEHRAN, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Iran's supreme ayatollah said Saturday his nation was not developing nuclear weapons and was in favor of banning the bomb worldwide.
Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei told an audience in Tabriz Iran would already have a nuclear capability if it was actually pursuing one.
"We believe that nuclear weapons must be obliterated, and we do not intend to make nuclear weapons, but if we had not had this belief and had decided to possess nuclear weapons, no power could have ever been able to stop us," Khamenei said in remarks carried on Press TV.
Khamenei, who holds the title Leader of the Islamic Revolution, also said allegations about Iran's supposed nuclear ambitions leveled by the United States and Israel were only aggravating tensions and violated Iran's rights as a nation.
Iran has insisted its secretive nuclear program is aimed at developing peaceful energy sources; however the United States, Israel and other Western nations suspect it is a military program.
Iran's former chief negotiator with the West added Saturday the whole matter could be settled through serious international talks held without the pressure of economic sanctions.
"Iran has always said that it is ready to hold serious negotiations," Hassan Rohani told the Tehran Times.
"When the West is increasing pressure and at the same time is talking about negotiations, then negotiations mean surrender," Rohani said. "If negotiations are serious and based on mutual understanding, there is no need for such tough actions."
Sectarian bombing in Pakistan kills 47
QUETTA, Pakistan, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- The bomb that killed nearly 50 people in Pakistan Saturday was apparently set off by remote control and targeted a Shiite neighborhood, investigators said.
The death toll in the city of Quetta reached 47 with more than 200 people injured, including a number of women and children.
"The death toll may rise," senior police officer Wazir Khan Nasir told DAWN.com. "It was a remote-controlled bomb."
The explosion occurred along a busy street near a school in a section of town with a large population of ethnic Hazaras, a group tied to the Shia branch of Islam.
"It was a sectarian attack," the officer said. "the Shia community was the target."
DAWN.com said the explosion brought scores of police and troops to the area, and Hazara leaders issued calls for a strike Sunday to protest the attack.
GOP urges Obama to spare defense budget
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Republicans made another pitch Saturday for further cuts to the U.S. budget in their weekend radio address.
Rep. Martha Roby, R-Ala., did the honors as Congress and the Obama administration faced the unpleasant deadline for the so-called sequestration cuts, which will hammer virtually all government spending programs.
Roby urged President Obama to give in and start cutting. The goal, she said, was to make sure defense spending was spared.
"Threatening these devastating sequester military cuts was President Obama's idea in the first place," Roby said. "That matters – not because of who should get the blame – but because of who should be leading the effort to solve this problem."
Roby, whose district includes the U.S. Army base at Fort Rucker, said the president should find "better, more responsible spending cuts" that will avoid the $85 billion in across-the-board reductions mandated by the sequestration plan, which kicks in March 1.
The Hill said the GOP sent Roby to the microphone following the unveiling of a Democratic plan that would raise taxes by $55 billion and chip another $55 billion from farm subsidies and the Pentagon's budget.
Roby did not make any specific proposals for social-program cuts; however The Hill said the GOP prefers slashing what it sees as bloated social programs.
Show to air without Pistorius' girlfriend
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- The creator of a South African reality show says he will still air the show despite the death of contestant Reeva Steenkamp.
Steenkamp, the girlfriend of Olympian Oscar Pistorius, found shot dead in his home Thursday, was a contestant on the Tropika Island of Treasure 5 show, The Saturday Star in Johannesburg reported.
Creator Samantha Moon said show members were devastated by the loss of Steenkamp, 30.
While the decision to continue broadcasting the show had difficult, Moon said "Reeva was an intelligent, beautiful and amazing woman and we feel it would be an injustice to keep that unknown from those who did not know her personally."
Moon added, "Reeva was a wonderful human being and an extremely talented and intelligent woman. Her kind and loving spirit was evident to all who knew her and her zest for life will be truly missed."
"Every episode that she is in, every frame that she so ably dominates shines with her light, her laughter echoes in every conversation, and we want to share these special memories with the rest of South Africa," Moon said.
Pistorius has been arrested in Steenkamp's death. A double amputee, he made Olympic history by running on carbon fiber blades that earned him the name "Blade Runner."

If you've ever wanted to subscribe to Mother Jones, now might be a good time. The magazine seems to be pretty desperate for subscribers, and they're offering a deal that takes liberal to a whole new level.
A subscription is $10 a year. That's a pretty good price, but not much different than most magazines trying to expand their subscriber base. What stands out about the offer is that you get a full refund if you cancel at any point in the subscription.
If you receive every mag, but decide all of a sudden that nothing could be worse than seeing another issue of the "kick-ass reporting on national security, your rights, the environment, our economy, immigration, and more" in your mailbox, you can cancel and get every bit of your $10 back.
Good deal, right?

text: Welcome, Twillight Princess. You last visited: 06-20-2007 06:03 PM I knew I was a member of a Wii forum, and for some reason I had do find it, because it was bugging me. I obviously found the place and it looks nice so I'll probably stay active now. At least more than the first time I registered. So, to make up for me leaving here is something some of you might enjoy. (Because you care) I've lived in Norway my entire life, but I was born in Sweden, which is the country with the tall blond models. I am 16, got myself lots of friends, because I am so cool of course. I dont do really that much except being on the computer, going out with friends and other stuff that might catch my interest. I despise anything that has to do with rap, hip hop and so on, I CANT listen to that kind of music, I dont know why, I just get a head-ache everythime I listen to it. The only one I can listen to without dying is Eminem, but thats because he is white... jk! I listen mostly to Metal, Hardrock and Rock, but I can listen to other as long as they are good. I am in High School, hoping to become a chef and own a restaurant one day, which has been my dream for God knows how long. Hopefully I'll be able to own a restaurant. I like most types of anime and manga, but I felt like putting it into categories: (Popular, to least popular) 1. The sick part of me: Lots and lots of horror and gore manga and anime, why? I dont know, its like a drug to me, I have to watch ****ed up stuff. 2. The boy in me: Most shounen manga, and anime, as long as the quality and story are good, and at least some characters are enjoyable. 3. The man in me: Most Tokusatsu anime, though I haven't watched any when I first registered on MAL so I have some "forgotten ones" but I do love watching it from time to time. I also enjoy a lot of Mecha anime and mangas, mostly for the robots, and tanks and explosions. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is one of the Mecha animes I've watched that really brings out the good in Mecha, sadly I haven't watched a lot of it since I just cant seem to find some. If you have some, dont hesitate to leave a comment. 4, The perverted side of me: Lots of Ecchi and Hentai. I love them, though Ecchi has been getting worse and worse, but at the same time better. The new Ecchi's from my point of view have become less focused on the story, and more of the Ecchi, which is a bad thing. But the good thing, is that most Old school Ecchi were about romance and that kind of thing which made me totally unfocused of the ecchi part. This is a good thing with the new ones as they dont have that much romance anymore, but the stories suck, which makes me mad, I mean, HAVE YOU READ OR WATCHED to LOVE-ru!? Man oh man >_>. And no, I dont have anything to complain about Hentai they have to have sucky stories, otherwise the sex doesn't make sense to me. 5. The romantic side of me: Lol. No seriously though, I've read som One Shots, and some Ecchi with romance, but nothing I liked that much. Except the Ecchi, but thats was for the panty shots.. Other Info: Music: Metallica, Disturbed, Kaizers Orchestra, Wolfmother, Led Zeppelin etc. Hobbies/Interests: Manga/Anome, music and gaming. Sport: Basketball Food: Tortillas, Calzone, Potatoes, Pizza and spaghetti. TV: Family Guy, The Big Bang Theory, Simpsons, Scrubs, South Park, American Dad, Boondocks and Friends.

Dynamos high five
Durham Dynamos beat Derbyshire Falcons by eight wickets with 17 deliveries to spare at Emiartes Durham ICG on Wednesday night.
Derbyshire Falcons won the toss and elected to bat first hoping for revenge on the defeat the Dynamos inflicted on them last week. But, the Falcons got off to a shaky start with Ross Whitely and Wes Durston both out within 4 overs to leave the score at 17-2.
However, Usman Khawaja and captain Wayne Madsen steadied the innings for Derbyshire, leading them to a score of 69-2 before Gareth Breese came into the attack and took the crucial wicket of Khawaja.
The wickets came thick and fast as far as Durham were concerned after that and with five overs remaining Derbyshire were 82-5.
Despite a costly sixteenth over the Dynamos bowlers did well to keep the score down whilst taking wickets on the way, leaving Derbyshire with a final total of 131-7.
Khawaja was the top scorer with 33 and Scott Borthwick the leading bowler with 2 wickets for 23 runs.
Durham got off to a terrific start chasing a total similar to that which they were set last week, Phil Mustard and Herschelle Gibbs taking the Dynamos to a score of 70 without loss, before Mustard was stumped with 25 runs to his name.
Gibbs and Benkenstein maintained Durham's good spell and led the Dynamos to 87 after 12 over's before the captain was caught in the field for 7.
Herschelle Gibbs and Johann Myburgh then drove the Dynamos home with 8 wickets in hand after 17.1. Gibbs was the top performer for the Dynamos finishing on 83*, recording the highest individual score in Dynamos t20 history.
At the close of play Herschelle Gibbs said, "I think the bowlers won it in the first ten overs for us. It's a good deck and despite the rain and humidity of the last few days it played well. You have to give credit to the bowlers and then me and the Colonel set the tone with the bat so it was a good clinical performance today.
"As far as targets go, if you target two fifty run partnership s or one of seventy or eighty and then you are going to be in with a shout 90% of the time. We did that today and we got a result."

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Cuzen Early Origins
Norfolk and in the southern counties of England, where the first on record appears to be Roger Cusin, listed in the Pipe Rolls in that county in 1166. Robert Cusyn and his wife Joan were landowners in Ellisfield, Hampshire during the Reign of Henry III (1216-1272). Peter Cusin was a sheriff of London in 1273. A Galfridus Cusyn of Hardingham, Norfolk is mentioned in the Subsidy Rolls for that county in 1327.
Cuzen Spelling Variations
Cuzen Spelling Variations
Multitudes of spelling variations are a hallmark of Anglo Norman names. Most of these names evolved in the 11th and 12th century, in the time after the Normans introduced their own Norman French language into a country where Old and Middle English had no spelling rules and the languages of the court were French and Latin. To make matters worse, medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, so names frequently appeared differently in the various documents in which they were recorded. The name was spelled Cousin, Cousins, Cozens, Cossins, Couzins, Cossens, Cosin, Cosyns, Cousens, Couzens, Cossins, Cosin and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Because of this political and religious unrest within English society, many people decided to immigrate to the colonies. Families left for Ireland, North America, and Australia in enormous numbers, travelling at high cost in extremely inhospitable conditions. The New World in particular was a desirable destination, but the long voyage caused many to arrive sick and starving. Those who made it, though, were welcomed by opportunities far greater than they had known at home in England. Many of these families went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Cuzen or a variant listed above: John Cosins who settled in Maryland in 1683; Richard Cousin settled in Grenada in 1774; Edward Cousins settled in Maryland in 1774; George Cousins settled in Massachusetts in 1635.

Simulating the dynamics of complex biomolecules produces trajectories comprising a large number of different configurations of the molecule. These configurations must be classified into a small number of conformational ensembles representing essential changes in the molecule's shape. Using a conformational distance measure based on the changes in intramolecular atom distances, we show that a planar map can help us visualize these trajectories efficiently such that different conformational ensembles appear as well-separated point sets. We then use statistical cluster analysis to identify clusters that represent different conformational ensembles.

No VBKW title for Vanessa Beecroft's latest performative collaboration with Kanye West? Last Friday at the Deitch Projects in Long Island City, Beecroft used only her initials and the cataloguing number to label her piece, where as the artist's last effort with West in October 2008 included the musician's as well. Of course, that particular piece, which involved approximately forty nude women, most wearing masks made of lamb's wool standing in Ace Gallery's darkened space in LA was executed specifically for the launch of West's album 808s & Heartbreak. This time around West promises only to produce the filming of the event, which presumably means hiring someone to shoot the show, since the musician was no where to be found.
As far as Vanessa Beecroft performances go, the event unfolded more or less as expected. The usual giant opening exhibition crowd for Deitch projects formed fairly early, and moved around the gallery at about the same rate as a cafeteria line. Twenty women painted entirely in white lay still on the floor and bases along side similar looking casts, all in a formation resembling a highway. All this, according to the press release was supposed to create "tension between life and death", a light-weight concept had Beecroft even achieved those goals; you don't have to be a rocket scientist to identify which figures were alive and which were sculptures.
Meanwhile, why these works need to take the form of performances at all remains a sticking point for the art. What you see is what you see; the durational aspect of these works adding little to the viewing experience. But, such events do a good job at drumming up a lot of publicity the documentation on its own would never receive. After all, the Kanye West launch party and performance in 2008, hit a number of news sources, the use of nude models in masks deemed "shocking". Not that much critical thought was devoted to any of the thornier issues Beecroft's art brings up -- she isn't exactly propelling women's rights into the 21st century -- but the impact of a few naked women in public is clearly enough to propel popular media story. Separate the buzz from the art itself however and it becomes quite clear there's about as much to this work as any fashion ad. In fact, considering the assets are all for sale, there's hardly any distinction at all.

Washington,DC (WorkersCompensation.com) - Dr. Therese M. (Terri) Vaughan announced she will step down as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), effective November 30. In August, she announced plans for transitioning out of the job in early 2013, but will accelerate her departure to the end of this month.
"On behalf of the NAIC Officers and membership, I want to thank Terri for her outstanding service to our organization," said Kevin M. McCarty, NAIC President and Florida Insurance Commissioner. "Terri's expertise and insight have been invaluable following the global economic crisis of 2008. She has served as a globetrotter on our behalf as we've worked through financial reform and modernization efforts both domestically and abroad. We wish Terri all the best as she proceeds to the next phase of her career."
"I have been privileged to support the regulators and staff of the NAIC for nearly four years, and it is with mixed feelings that I am leaving," said Vaughan. "Since the August announcement, however, it has become clear that an extended phase-out is unnecessary, and the organization is well-positioned to carry our progress forward. I wish the officers, members, and staff the best of luck in the future, and look forward to continuing to advocate for the protection of U.S. insurance consumers in my future professional activities."
Vaughan served as NAIC CEO since February 2009. During her career, she served as Iowa Insurance Commissioner and is a past NAIC President. In addition, she has held a variety of positions in academia and regulation. She was the Robb B. Kelley Distinguished Professor of Insurance and Actuarial Science at Drake University, where she focused on the regulation and management of financial institutions. Vaughan earned a Ph.D. in risk and insurance at the University of Pennsylvania and a B.B.A. in insurance and economics at the University of Iowa. She is the co-author of two college textbooks on insurance.
NAIC leadership is in the process of conducting a national search for a new CEO and has retained the services of an executive search firm, Egon Zehnder International, to assist in this effort. This week, the NAIC Executive Committee also took action to name Andrew Beal as acting CEO following the departure of Vaughan. Beal has been with the NAIC for 13 years and currently serves as the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Legal Officer.
About the NAIC

Purple Panthers pour on late runs to best Windjammers in pivotal finaleCamden Hills softball prevails over Waterville in regular-season finale
Rockport — Much was at stake in the Wednesday, June 4 high school baseball game between Camden Hills and Waterville, with the winner essentially sewing up not only a first-round bye and first place in the region, but a berth in the Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference Class B championship game.
Wednesday's rain-soaked game was tight through the first six innings, but the Purple Panthers scored eight runs in the seventh to come away with a 12-4 victory.
The Windjammer softball team also posted an 8-1 victory over the Purple Panthers in wet weather, as well.

It was the final game of the regular season for all four squads. Both Windjammer teams will be playoff-bound next week.
The following is a recap of both June 4 contests:
Waterville 12, Camden Hills 4
At Rockport June 4, the Purple Panthers exploded for an eight-run seventh inning and picked up a crucial victory over the Windjammers. Camden Hills scored two runs in both the first and third innings, while Waterville scored one in the first, one in the second, two in the fourth and eight in the seventh.
The loss knocked Camden Hills out of contention for the KVAC Class B championship, to be played on Saturday, June 7 at 2 p.m at Thomas College. That game will feature Waterville and Lincoln Academy of Newcastle after it appeared in recent weeks that Midcoast rivals Oceanside and Camden Hills would battle in the contest.
On Wednesday, leading Camden Hills at the plate were Aubrey Pennington (2 singles, 2 runs), Connor Graffam (home run, 2 RBIs), Michael Wolff (single, RBI), John Hall (single) and Sam Berry (single).
For Waterville, Dan Pooler (3 hits), Cam Gardiner (hit), A.J. Godin (2 hits) and Alan Wood (2 hits) keyed the offense.
Chandler Crans pitched for much of the contest, but gave way late in the game to both Graffam and Daulton Wickenden. The trio combined to allow 11 hits, six walks and two hit batters, with three strikeouts. Godin went the distance on the mound for Waterville, allowing six hits.
The Windjammers committed three errors and the Purple Panthers four.
The game was tied 4-4 in the top of the seventh when Owen Brown and Wood reached on errors to start the frame, followed by Crans issuing an intentional walk to Godin to load the bases.
Graffam relieved Crans and Brown quickly came in to score on a fielder's choice, followed by Wood crossing the plate on a sacrifice fly by Andrew Rodrigue.
It appeared Rodrigue left third base early on the play, but an appeal to the bag was not overturned, which made the score 6-4 for Waterville.
Gardiner later rapped an RBI-single and Wood a two-run single for the Purple Panthers.
Graffam belted a two-run home run in the bottom of the first inning to give the hosts a 2-1 lead.
In the Maine Principals' Association Heal Point Standings for Eastern Class B, Camden Hills (12-4, 114.0625 points) is fourth, while Waterville (14-2, 121.2891 points) is first in the 19-team region. The top 13 teams qualify for the playoffs.
Camden Hills 8, Waterville 1
At Rockport June 4, the Windjammers saw little resistance from the Purple Panthers and came away with their seventh win.
Hilary Merrifield was one of two players to step in the pitching circle for Camden Hills. Merrifield allowed no hits and struck out two in one inning of work. Overall, Camden Hills pitching allowed four hits, no walks and one hit batter, with six strikeouts. Katie Huard pitched for Waterville and allowed five hits.
Leading the Windjammers at the plate were Hannah Bode (single), Maddie Bowman (single), Natalie Hamalainen (single), Bekah Hilt (double) and Taylor Peasley (single).
For Waterville, Kaitlyn Spaulding (hit), Ciara Miller (hit) and Gabrielle Martin (2 hits) paced the offense.
In the Maine Principals' Association Heal Point Standings for Eastern Class B, Camden Hills (7-9, 48.4766 points) is 10th, while Old Town (16-0, 148.4375 points) is first in the 19-team region. The top 13 teams qualify for the playoffs.

There is a danger of village life and communities withering. So when, some 50 years ago, I settled down in Northiam, East Sussex, to make my living there and wanted to contribute to the community around me, the obvious way seemed to be to join the local horticultural society.
I became its president and was given to understand that my role was largely titular, that I would be needed to perform only at our AGM and on our summer show day. It seemed worth doing more than that, so I went to a lot of committee meetings as well, run by a chairman, a treasurer and a secretary.
These days, there are several secretaries, each for a different aspect of the society's activities; we have three annual flower shows in the village hall (safer from bad weather than the previous picturesque marquee) and a range of activities besides shows. Our membership fluctuates but is around 450, although as usual only a small fraction are active.
But we are by no means a lot of fuddy-duddies and OAPs. There is a good cross-section of villagers, including children, and we run a range of events. Like-minded folk can share their experiences, on the occasions when they meet. We run expeditions between spring and autumn to a range of interesting places - the RHS garden at Wisley is an obvious example - so there are plenty of opportunities to get together. Winter lectures take place in the darker months, and we have a lively photographic branch, too.
I am writing this on the morning of the annual general meeting - a lively social occasion after the formalities of reports on the year. Refreshments differ from year to year, but mince pies make a welcome appearance every Christmas.
I always sit next to Mary Hartley, who is about my age and who has been a member of the society for about as long as I have. She was a land girl during the war years. We are not cliquey and always happy to welcome new members. We talk quite a lot of shop and exchange experiences, so there's bucketloads of information about gardening floating around. We do have a flower arrangers' section, though I must confess that apart from two or three members who have learned to do things the proper way, this is not our strongest suit.
But we have fun and it all helps to build a village community, so there are plenty of reasons for joining.
To find your local horticultural society, call the RHS on 020-7834 4333 (rhs.org.uk).

Ministers, Professors Slam U.K. Boycott of Israeli Academe
U.K. lecturers to boycott academics who fail to condemn Israeli policy; U.K. gov't says 'regrets' move.
Israeli leaders and academics Monday slammed a vote by the largest university and college lecturers' union in Britain in favor of a motion recommending that its members boycott Israeli academics and institutions that do not publicly declare their opposition to Israeli policy in the territories.
The motion passed with 106 in favor and 71 against. There were 21 abstentions.
The 69,000-member National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education (NATFHE) debated the proposal for the boycott at its annual conference in the northern English city of Blackpool. Two parts of the motion passed with a show of hands while a third went to a vote. Under the boycott, union members also will not submit articles to Israeli research journals.
Education Minister Yuli Tamir lashed out at the boycott on Monday, calling it detrimental to the world of academia.
"The decision to boycott academic institutions is a move worthy of condemnation and revulsion," Tamir said. "Those how are implementing this boycott are harming academia's freedom and turning it into a tool for political forces."
Last week, Tamir spoke with the British minister for higher education and requested that he act to prevent the boycott.
National Religious Party MK Zevulun Orlev, chairman of the Knesset Science Committee, appealed Monday to parliament members from Germany, Canada, Britain and France to condemn the teachers' union decision.
"This is a test of the free world," Orlev wrote to them. "We expect you to condemn this anti-Semitic and racist decision and to help institutions of higher education in your countries tighten their cooperation with science, technology and higher education institutes in Israel."
Haifa University also condemned the boycott.
"Any attempt to create ties between politics and academic research is simply McCarthyism. Haifa University rejects the decision by the British teachers' union to place a boycott on members of Israeli academia," university president Aharon Ben-Ze'ev said.
"This is a hypocritical and callous decision that has no place in the academic world. Haifa University calls on all those who hold dear academic freedom to join us in fighting this decision and act to bring about its cancellation. The university will continue to cooperate with its colleagues and friends in Israel, Britain and around the world in an effort to defend the principle of academic freedom and to fight the intention to boycott members of Israeli academia."
The British government expressed its regret at NATFHE's decision, calling it counterproductive.
Foreign and Commonwealth Office Minister Lord Triesman issued a statement saying: "We regret today's decision by the National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education (NATFHE) to vote in favor of boycotting Israeli academics and institutions.
"The British Government has a record of supporting academic freedom for academics throughout the world. We also recognize the independence of NATFHE. We believe that such academic boycotts are counterproductive and retrograde. Far more can be obtained through dialogue and academic cooperation."
Triesman himself served as deputy general secretary of NATFHE in 1984 and was general secretary of the Association of University Teachers trade union from 1993 to 2001.
Israeli and Jewish organizations in the U.S. and U.K. ran campaigns against the boycott, including a series of petitions against the motion.
On Saturday, the Guardian published a letter signed by over 600 academics calling for the motion to be dropped.
The NATFHE president, John Wilkin, also received a petition with 4,725 signatures from Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, an American organization whose mission statement includes encouraging academics "to develop effective responses to the ideological distortions, including anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist slanders..."
On Monday, NATFHE Secretary General Paul Mackney surprised the union with a speech against the motion, prior to the vote.
"Most of us are very angry about the occupation of Palestine. But this isn't the motion and it isn't the way," Mackney said.
He also said that in order to adopt a decision to boycott Israeli academia a much more comprehensive debate on the issue must be carried out.
"We need to develop a coherent and sustainable policy," Mackney said.
The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel said, "The NATFHE vote proves once again that despite all the obstacles, boycotting Israeli academic institutions due to their complicity in maintaining Israel's special form of apartheid against the Palestinians remains prominent on the agenda of western progressives and human rights activists."
"This is a significant accomplishment considering the campaign of intimidation and bullying waged against proponents of the NATFHE academic boycott initiative by Israeli networks and powerful Zionist lobbies in the United Kingdom and the United States," the statement read.
"At this stage of the international boycott movement, Palestinian boycott advocates", they said, aim first to keep alive an open debate on the need for boycott and sanctions against Israel "until it fully complies with international law and universal human rights."

Speakers | bSa Conference | FEDCon | BETEC Symposium | MMC SymposiumLVDC Symposium | IRD Symposium | SBIC Symposium | Technology Demos | BIM Academic Symposium
The windows industry has one of the toughest jobs in building performance—it has to build products that withstand all of the forces of sun, wind, rain, hurricanes and three-year-olds while remaining essentially invisible. Manufacturers are also expected to achieve all of these architectural performance imperatives with products that last decades. Over time our industry has come to expect even greater performance delivery from our fenestration systems—adding increased safety during fire and withstanding greater impact and blast resistance during a disaster (whether natural or man-made).
Fortunately, windows and glazing have kept up with industry needs. From composite framing systems and new glazing materials, through new performance ratings and certifications, and how these important building envelope systems are integrated with lighting, HVAC and other building elements, the industry continues to introduce new fenestration innovations.
With the theme Fenestration: A World of Change, the Building Enclosure Technology and Environment Council (BETEC) Symposium will provide attendees with the most recent developments in fenestration performance and technology. For this symposium, BETEC has assembled a collection of leading experts who will share the latest information available on a variety of fenestration technology and performance topics. The BETEC Symposium is a must-attend for architects, engineers, developers and anyone involved in critical decisions about buildings.
Current Presenters and Topics Include:
Additional information will be presented on fenestration retrofits, fenestration impacts on utility planning, advanced shading technologies and other timely topics.

For homeowners in Boynton Beach who need more living space, a sun room or insulated patio enclosure can supply that space affordably and quickly.
Miami, FL (PRWEB) June 03, 2013
The placement of a custom-made retail sales display by Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, in the Boynton Beach Home Depot has helped increase sales of Boynton Beach sunroom, patio covers and screen enclosures by Venetian Builders, Inc., so far in 2013, says Venetian President Chris Noe.
"West Palm Beach and its suburbs largely were new turf for us last year," said Noe. "Although we made inroads in Palm Beach County in 2012, we didn't see a big increase there until we benefited from the exposure of our products and deign services in Home Depot stores in Boynton Beach and elsewhere in the County."
The retail sales displays, which were designed and built at the Venetian warehouse and fabrication facility in Oakland Park, Broward County, swing open to reveal 8 running feet of Venetian materials and design choices.
"The sales displays have really caught the eye and imagination of consumers," Noe said. "We placed displays in 41 Home Depots in the second half of 2012 and the first quarter of this year. People obviously like what they see, and they arrange for a free at-home consultation by talking to a Home Depot sales associate or calling us directly."
Boynton Beach has a great number of homes that are small by today's standards on lots that are big enough to support bigger houses, Noe said.
"For homeowners in Boynton Beach who need more living space, a sun room or insulated patio enclosure can supply that space affordably and quickly," Noe said. "Aluminum additions, because of the technology that goes into them, can be installed in much less time than a space of equal size built by traditional construction methods, and for a lower cost. But they have power for day/night use and can be climate controlled, just like other space in the house."
More homeowners are discovering the convenience of aluminum framing, Noe said. "Our sales increased 85 percent last year, primarily in Broward County," Noe said. "This year our sales are up 150 percent over 2012 levels, with much of that increase coming in West Palm Beach and its suburbs. We've been diligent about adding good people who do good work so that we maintain the quality of service and construction we're known for providing."
When an estimator arrives for the at-home consultation, he brings a showroom on wheels with life-size working doors and windows, framing samples, screening, insulated roof and wall panels, and other materials for the homeowner to examine. "It helps consumers see just what we can do for them," Noe said. "We custom-design every project to fit the home, the neighborhood, lifestyle needs and individual budgets." Venetian provides written, detailed estimates, which are always free.
Venetian Builders installs custom-design aluminum solariums, patio roofs, pergolas, lattice and swimming pool screens in West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, Jupiter, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Davie, Miami, Miramar, Homestead, the Keys and all communities in between.
