U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice is guilty of lying on behalf of President Obama to the American public, and the world, about the events in Benghazi, Libya on 9/11/12, that led to the deaths of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. That is a fact, which in itself absolutely disqualifies Rice from being nominated to become U.S. Secretary of State. Lyndon LaRouche in his November 30, 2012 webcast has brought additional focus on Rice's activities against the populations of African nations, first as a government official from 1993-2001 under President Clinton, and currently as ambassador to the UN for the last four years under Obama, telling his audience, that "she's well known from back twenty years or so ago, as a mass murderer in Africa."
Two of the clearest cases where Rice's involvement in supporting policies that have led to the deaths of millions and the weakening of those nations' sovereignty are: the Democratic Republic of the Congo (D.R.C.), and Sudan, the two largest nations on the continent, before the break-up of Sudan in 2011. This has resulted in a permanent destabilization of the countries of the Great Lakes region and parts of the Horn of Africa.
Beginning in 1996, the D.R.C. has been the target of uninterrupted war and looting of its abundant natural resources, which has resulted in the greatest loss of life of any nation in the world since the end of World War II, equaling or surpassing 6 million deaths: making the Congolese people the victims of the greatest genocide from the 20th into the 21st century. Over this long period, the invasions of armies backed by the governments of Rwanda and Uganda, documented in numerous UN reports — including Rwanda's present support for the Mouvement de 23 Mars, or M23 rebels, who are attempting to carve up and destroy the D.R.C. — would not have been possible without support provided by Rice, who did more than give a "wink and a nod" to their mass killings and wanton destruction.
The Crimes of Susan Rice in the Great Lakes Region
1994: Rice, then Director for International Organizations and Peacekeeping at the National Security Council while the Rwanda genocide was in process, is quoted as saying: "If we use the word 'genocide' and are seen as doing nothing, what will be the effect on the November [Congressional] election?"
1996: Rice as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director of African Affairs, allowed the armies of Rwanda and Uganda to invade D.R.C. (then Zaire), and to install Laurent Kabila as its new President.
1997-1998: Rice after returning from her first trip to the Great Lakes region as the newly installed Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, agreed to have over 1 million Hutu refugees in UN camps inside the D.R.C. removed by the armies D.R.C. neighbors Uganda and Rwanda. Rice is quoted a saying that: "Museveni [of Uganda] and Kagame [of Rwanda] agree that the basic problem in the Great Lakes is the danger of a resurgence of genocide [referring to the Rwandan Hutus who fled to the D.R.C. after Kagame took over Rwanda—LKF], and they know how to deal with that. The only thing we have to do is look the other way." Rice's "looking the other way" was followed by a decade of killing and the looting in the D.R.C. by armed groups supported by Rice's chosen "leaders" in the region, Uganda's Yoweri Museveni and Rwanda's Paul Kagama.
After Uganda and Rwanda again invaded D.R.C. beginning on Aug. 2, 1998, Rice played a critical role in imposing the Lusaka Accord settlement, which did not recognize the legitimacy of the D.R.C. as a sovereign nation, or Laurent Kabila as its President. The agreement pushed by Rice and then U.S. Ambassador to the UN Richard Holbrooke, called for foreign troops to withdraw over 180 days, step-by-step, (which was never adhered to), instead of immediately, as the Organization of African Unity and Southern Africa Development Community had called for.
2012: Rice, now U.S. Ambassador to the UN unsuccessfully tried to prevent the release of a report on Nov. 15 by the UN Security Council (UNSC) which states: "The Government of Rwanda continues to violate the arms embargo by providing military support to M23 rebels, facilitating recruitment, encouraging and facilitating desertions from the armed forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and providing arms, ammunition and intelligence and political advice."
2012, November: Rice has successfully blocked a UNSC resolution from explicitly demanding Rwanda cease support for M23, which intends to march across the D.R.C., destroying any semblance of the country as a single nation.
Susan Rice's 'Jihad' against Sudan
From the time she entered government in 1993, when she was appointed to Clinton's National Security Council, Rice has opposed the government of Sudan in Khartoum, and along with a cabal of anti-Khartoum fanatics in Washington, has advocated the overthrow of country's leader, Omar Hassan al-Bashir. Her open hostility and destructive attacks against Sudan for almost two decades, not only prevented any solution to the extreme economic hardships suffered by the people of this large, underdeveloped country, but virtually guaranteed the eventual break-up of Sudan, which benefitted neither the Sudanese living in the North nor those in the South.
1997, Sept 2: Testifying at her confirmation hearing to become Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Rice said: "In concert with concerned members of Congress, we have also recast our policy towards Sudan to apply additional pressure aimed at isolating the Khartoum regime in order to contain the threat it poses to U.S. interests and to compel it to halt its support for terrorism and its grave human rights abuses. We have also provided for the first time defensive military assistance to Sudan's neighbors, which face a direct threat from Sudanese-sponsored insurgencies." Despite Rice's repeated lie that Sudan is the only state in Sub-Saharan Africa that poses a direct threat to U.S. national security interests, no evidence has ever been made public to corroborate that allegation. In fact, the U.S. intelligence community has admitted that it has no such evidence, and has collaborated with its counterparts in Sudan in fighting terrorism.
1998: Rice was instrumental in orchestrating the bombing of the al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Omdurman, Sudan, just outside of Khartoum, allegedly for producing chemical weapons that could be used in terrorist attacks on the United States. Not a shred of evidence was ever found to justify the al-Shifa attack, and the U.S. subsequently apologized and offered compensation.
For five years, from 1996, until weeks before the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the United States, the Sudanese government had tried repeatedly, but without success, to share with U.S. intelligence services its own intelligence files on Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda. Even when the FBI and others wished to accept these offers, they were overruled by Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Secretary for Africa Rice. Rice had politicized the intelligence by her hostility to any collaboration with the Sudanese government. Various back-channel efforts were also stymied by Rice. When the U.S. intelligence community finally succeeded in getting the Clinton Administration to send a joint FBI-CIA team to Sudan in May 2000, despite resistance from Rice, they found no terrorist training camps or sanctuaries, and gave Sudan a clean bill of health.
2009, Jan. 26: Rice at her first press conference as U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Rice blatantly lied, weeping crocodile tears about "ongoing genocide" in Darfur. Two UN officials responsible for military and civilian deployments in Darfur refuted the "ongoing genocide" lie.
2009, March 6: In an interview with National Public Radio, Rice called for keeping open the option of imposing a military no-fly zone over Sudan.
2009, April: Rice upbraided the civilian head of the UN-African Union peacekeeping forces, after he described the conflict in Darfur as a low-intensity conflict, not a war, and certainly not "ongoing genocide." Rice's action led to his resignation.
Rice has consistently supported the illegitimate International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrant for Sudanese President Bashir, issued in March 2009, despite the fact that the U.S. has refused to give up its own sovereignty to become part of the ICC—a British-created imperial world government court. The ICC indictment of President Bashir is part of an ongoing effort to isolate and weaken the government of Sudan, to instigate his removal from office. It has also made peace and security in Sudan more difficult, preventing any U.S. representative from meeting with Bashir.
Susan Rice is not fit to be U.S. Secretary of State, nor should she be allowed to remain as U.S. Ambassador to the UN, if for no other reason than simple morality: her record of killing Africans.

What is Citric Acid?
Citric acid is a substance that can naturally be found in citrus fruits. It is considered a weak and inorganic acid that easily mixes with a variety of liquids. Because of its dissolving properties, citric acid is commonly used in the food and softdrinks industry. It gives off the characteristic sour or acidic taste in food items and softdrink products.
Much of citric acid can be found on lemon and lime varieties of fruit. Other citrus fruits and some vegetables also contain significant amounts of citric acid in them, but lemons and limes are considered the most abundant sources of this substance. It is even said that as much as 8% of the fruit's weight is from its citric acid content.
Citric acid is typically produced in a white powder form which may be a monohydrate type or an anhydrous type. Monohydrates are those that result from crystallization using cold water while anhydrous type involves the use of hot water in the crystallization of citric acid.
There are many uses for citric acid especially in the food and beverage industries. It is most commonly used as food additive or flavoring to softdrinks, beer, and other juice preparations. But aside from serving as flavoring, citric acid also has other properties that make it valuable as environmental cleaners. Citric acid is also widely used in the manufacture of dietary supplements. Because of its bonding properties with other minerals, many supplements use the help of citric acid to help improve absorption of these minerals in the body. Other uses of citric acid are in the making of bath products like soaps, detergents, and shampoo. Citric acid is also used in the manufacture of skin creams, lotions, and other beauty or skin-care products. These products are also often marketed as natural and healthy as Vitamin C in general is a powerful anti-oxidant.

What Students Are Saying
Here are a few quotes from some of our most recent Sex Ed Boot Camp Attendees!
"I thought tonight was an amazing experience, especially as a couple. You know, it's nice to know that it's safe to coach and be comfortable asking the questions that are needed to know so you can have safer sex with your partner and be more comfortable. And to come into an environment and talk about sex and not have to worry about if you're being judged or not. Yeah, no judgement zone is a safe keeper and a great environment and allows you to ask more questions that you would never really find the answers to out in the open."
"I have chosen to be abstinent. After attending Sex Ed Boot Camp, I feel much more prepared for when I get into a relationship where I choose to be intimate."
"I really enjoyed Sex Ed Boot Camp because it was really knowledgeable and informative, and talked about things like different types of lubricants and things to use and they appeal to both genders, male and female. It was an overall good session; you can take home more knowledge with you than you know. And I also like that they emphasize the fact that you don't have to have sex, and that there were other people who are having sex. It was a great program!"
"The thing I liked best about the presentation was the way they captured the audience. They tried to bring in the crowd rather than just have it be a lecture, and to do that, they actually gave things out to those who asked questions and answered their questions."
"I loved Sex Ed Boot Camp because it was really informative and they taught us a lot of tips that a lot of programs don't usually talk about like how to put a condom on without too much friction and other stuff. They really went out of their way to make sure the audience was invloved. I got a lot out of it!"
"What I really like about the presentation was how open the two speakers were, providing a safe environment by being so open about their sexuality and that really encouraged other people to come in and be open."
"Went to your presentation tonight at Lock Haven. Awesome by the way, I definitely think there should be more talks like that. It's so much better than everything being so hush hush. People want to learn about this stuff, and we shouldn't have to feel embarrassed for being interested."
"I just caught the last 30 minutes of your presentation here in LHU and it was great. I wish I could have seen the whole thing!"
"Esther and Joni aren't just another group of adults giving the "safe sex talk" that many of us have heard throughout adolescence. They give you the hard evidence of facts and the consequences you would face if you didn't practice safe sex with your partner. Their slogan, "Take Care Of Your Privates" says it all!! They also let you explore your feelings in a comfortable environment and allow you to fumble through your thoughts, even if you don't know the question you are trying to ask. Even if it's just a self-affirmation out loud, they will always be open and receptive of what you say and do during any session of SEX ED BOOT CAMP. They are knowledgeable in the diversities of sexuality, whether it is orientation, intimacy – both physical and emotional with all of your relationships – or self-love and acceptance. They are friends to talk with, from the very first moment you enter the room. You are fully engaged in the dialogue at all times and they "cover the bases," so to speak. I met them less than a year ago, and I have already seen them at a college conference, and I talk to them online from time to time. They will always be there for you! These amazing women are more than just sex educators, they are friends!"

Testing Assumptions Made In The Construction Of Input--Output Tables
Product input--output (IO) tables are mainly constructed on the basis of product and/or industry technology assumptions. The choice is not trivial and deserves empirical analysis using input and output data at the level of establishments. This paper offers input--output compilers econometric tests to facilitate the construction of tailored hybrid technology-based product IO tables. We provide weighted likelihood ratios of the product and industry technology assumptions. Although the proposed econometric tests are aimed to be used ex ante , we construct four variants of hybrid technology-based product IO tables using establishment data from Andalusia (Spain) and contrast them to the official product IO table and the pure product and industry technology-based tables. Our econometric tests are not valid for industry IO tables.

COMMUTERS faced more misery on the roads as flooding continued to cause widespread problems – but brighter weather is forecast for the coming days.
Hartlepool and East Durham were again subjected to heavy rain yesterday, but weather experts are predicting the worst is now over.
A number of roads were closed yesterday, but by teatime many had reopened.
However, Merlin Way, on the Bishop Cuthbert estate, along with Dalton Back Lane on the outskirts of the town at the A689 Stockton Road junction, remained closed last night and earlier today.
The northbound slip road onto A19 at Sheraton was closed at the A179 junction, while Usworth Road, in Hartlepool, was also closed until yesterday afternoon.
Meanwhile Valley Drive, in the West Park area of town, and the A689 eastbound at Newton Bewley, were all flooded, but passable with care.
The A179 from Hart Village to West View, which had been causing problems for commuters, was cleared while Brenda Road, near to Graythorp Forge, was also flooded and closed, but did reopen to traffic.
The A689 near Wynyard was closed eastbound between the two roundabouts into the estate, with traffic being diverted through Wynyard Village itself due to a lot of standing water.
It finally reopened in both directions at lunchtime.
Motorists using the busy A19 faced a lot of standing water and at one stage, the A19 northbound was down to one lane, causing long tailbacks.
Alastair Smith, Hartlepool Borough Council's assistant director for transportation and engineering, said: "There is still some surface water on many roads and we advise motorists to take the road conditions into consideration when driving."
Mr Smith added: "We are working with the emergency services and doing everything possible to alleviate the current situation.
"We have teams out clearing gulleys and water courses and there will be no let up in our effort to tackle the flooding and make sure people stay safe.
"I would also like to take this opportunity to thank motorists for their patience during the recent difficult road conditions."
All rail services between Sunderland and Middlesbrough have been suspended due to a landslide between Hartlepool and Seaham and services are unlikely to resume until Thursday, with Northern Rail providing buses from Hartlepool station.
Easington MP Grahame Morris praised the work by firefighters in the House of Commons, adding: "Especially the fire and rescue services in the North-East, particularly in Durham and Teesside, who have been doing such a terrific job."
The Met Office said the heavy rain was due to ease off around 6am this morning with sunny intervals and scattered showers, some of which could be heavy, during the day.
Forecasters predicted it would be windy along the coast and Thursday, Friday and Saturday are set to be much drier and bright but with temperatures falling as low as three degrees.

The Silky Tzu is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Shih Tzu and the Silky Terrier. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

The owner of an office high-rise in Uptown is about to begin a major renovation.
Gaedeke Group LLC said Tuesday that it will spend more than $5 million to expand and upgrade the One McKinney Plaza tower at Hall Street and McKinney Avenue.
Gaedeke Group
A rendering shows what One McKinney Plaza will look like after the renovation.
The 24-year-old office project has been less than 80 percent leased since a large fitness center in the building closed its doors last year.
Along with marketing that space to new tenants, Gaedeke Group said it is adding retail and lobby space to the building it has owned since 1996.
"As long-term owners, we want to protect our investment for the present and future," said Glenn Lickstein, Gaedeke's president. "We are going to take advantage of increased retail demand and street traffic from McKinney Avenue's evolution to enhance our investment."
A 14,000-square-foot, two-story wing of One McKinney Plaza facing McKinney will be remodeled for retail space, and the ground-floor lobby area will be enlarged from 2,123 square feet to 11,299 square feet with new construction.
Work will begin next month and will take about eight months.
BOKA Powell of Dallas is the architect for the renovation, and Austin Commercial is the general contractor.
Weitzman Group has been hired to handle retail leasing.
The largest block of vacant space in the building is the former Bally's fitness center on the third and fourth floors, which is available for lease as offices.

Release Date: 2005 |
I didn't think this was out until Monday... but I really want it, so your review is encouraging.
possibly. this is the only album in its genre that I've heard that most of the tracks are consistantly good.
this album is great...Saturday Night is like Supergrass at their very best,You Can Have It All is beautiful,and Monern Way perfectly captures a sense of disillusionment with todays society...oooo and the spiffy velvet suits....nice
I quite like them, i like time honoured tradition and you can have it all. Most of the songs are good, but some are shockingly bad
Album Rating: 3.0They're alright, same old, but I enjoy listening to the album. Nothing deep, just standard fun music.
Nice review.
This band encapsulates everything that is mediocre about the new wave of British indie bands that have followed on from Franz Ferdinand. I gave them a few listens, and there wasn't anything there that made them stand out from the crowd. Good review though.
this album rules and the song i was born to be a dancer is very easy to play on guitar lol
Album Rating: 3.0My aunt randomly bought me this album. There's a few tracks I like off of it, but the album as a whole is nothing amazing, nicely done though.
^^^ I agree good band nothing special I Suppose time honoured tradition and modern way are the standouts on this ablum. the 'chiefs aren't bnad of 2005 thta belongs to the killers but i think these guys are some of the better bands to come out of this strange synth rock revolution. bnads like this could help other kids new to rock listen to the greatness that are Radiohead and Muse

whose the genius who decided that the new style was skinny suits, annoyingly trebley guitars, synthesizers, and a "crazy" singer. Oh yeah, and makeup.This Message Edited On 12.27.05
The singles grew on me in a mindless sort of way...nothing especially good about them as such, but they were catchy as hell. The rest of the album really is mediocre though. It's quite remarkable.
Album Rating: 3.0The first half of the album is definately the better half. I felt that some tracks were really enjoyable to listen to even after a few listens (I Predict A Riot and Saturday Night).
Sadly for the 2nd half, I just felt it was very mediorce and just got fed up of listening to the album...
Shame really... lol
STAR TRACK: 'I Predict A Riot' (Just so damn catchy.. It gets stuck in my head for a long time if I hear it)
kaiser chiefs are really terrible
1. theyre from leeds (they like sheep)
2. they sound scottish which cant be good
3. lead singer Ricky Wilson looks like a ventriliquist dummy
sorry but i hate them i really do
almost as much as Franz Ferdinand
Album Rating: 2.0 | Sound OffThe first three singles were okay, but the rest of the album sucks to high heaven.
I just can't see how they can be good. I mean, look at them!
Iai - I'm with you, except that I Predict A Riot was damn annoying.
Album Rating: 2.0 | Sound OffI think Every Day I Love You Less And Less is more annoying, for the fact that they try and shovel in every single damn word in the word language that rhymes with 'less'. But I still like both tracks.
Quote: 1. theyre from leeds (they like sheep)
Thats the Welsh you friggin moron.
Album Rating: 3.0I actually like the Kaiser Chiefs. I listen to Saturday Night a lot and Born to be a Dance ( I think it's called) but I can never quite stomach the whole band.
lets just decide tat there s h i t e

I can't believe Webmaster has been hiding the 404 Not Found board from us.
Not cool, man... not cool.
Ugg, you editted... that means I need to post something meaningful, now... Ok, well here goes...
What could possibly go in DOS Programming that doesn't already go in the C and C++ boards and hasn't this been discussed before?
I gotta be honest man, when I clicked on this, I was really hoping the forum was going to be some Super Elite Hacking Forum that all the Super-Mods and Admins post on to plan their next big hacking heist. Oh... you know Prelude is down.
Sorry about that, it's fixed now.
I've posted a topic on this before. They said it was a board they had some years ago when DOS programming wasn't so... obsolete.
I thought he outed the uber cool boards... whew.
The Dos board sucked. A lot of the stuff posted related to the CMD prompt in Windows. Only Bubba and a few hard core Dos-heads got anything out of it.
That's what I thought. So why doesn't webmaster get rid of it?Quote:

Creative Visions: Robson & Williams on MISS FURY's Time-Bending Adventures
The week of Creative Visions interviews with Eddie Robson for Dynamite continues with a book that takes superheroic adventures and sends them through time and back and forward and rewinds and – it's a little loopy is all we're saying.
The focus this time around is Eddie Robson and Miss Fury. With issue 7 on stands now, Williams talks about the non-linear nature of the series and the challenges that imposes, and more about his new take.
Eddie Robson: Miss Furylooks a lot of fun to write. Are you pleased with how it's gone so far?
Rob Williams: I'm pleased with the fact that we've done something different and pretty adventurous at times. A non-linear time travel story probably isn't the easiest sell. It's a book that asks the reader to keep up. And I'm pleased with the fact that we've created a three-dimensional lead in Marla Drake that, hopefully, sidesteps a lot of the 'hot jewel thief in spandex' clichés. Oh, and I'm pleased with the work that the creative team have done on it. Jack Herbert's been wonderful on the book, in particular. So yes, I guess I'm pleased with it.
Robson: How is it different from previous things you've written?
Williams: The non-linear time travel stuff is very freeing creatively but it's also a complete bugger to keep track of. You write yourself into plotholes so easily. But it's an approach that allows us to create this jigsaw puzzle of Marla Drake's character. You see her be something of a cold, nasty piece of work in issue one. But then, through her past, you see why. And you also see her trying to become a better person. But I said after writing #5 that I'm steering clear of time travel stories for a while. They make your head hurt.
Robson: She's one of these classic superhero characters who've been interpreted in different ways – how do you go about pinning down her character?
Williams: The whole 'rich society girl by day, wisecracking superhero of the night'' thing has been done to death. She was kind of immoral when we first met her. But then you start writing a character bio, and you ask yourself why she's like that, and you realise she's been kind of a victim, and she's very troubled and needs help. And then she meets a good man and he sees good in her, and is the first person to ever see good in her. And suddenly you're starting to see a fully formed character. It kind of happened organically. And I'm a sucker for a redemption story.
Robson: The current issue is about a parallel-world Miss Fury – what distinguishes her from the normal one?
Williams: She's Miss Fury who never found love, never had someone tell her she could be a good person, so she's gone down this spiral of self-loathing and hedonism and crime for crime's sake. She's not nice people. And that holds a mirror up to our Miss Fury, which shows how far she's come, and how she really doesn't want to be that person.
Robson: How do you see this book developing?
Williams: We've got some fun stuff coming up. The Philadelphia Experiment, a mobster who believes he's a superhero, and a mission behind enemy lines to a Nazi time travel scientist's laboratory. Ultimately, it's Miss Fury's search for Captain Chandler, her lover. She finds him, she saves her soul.
Robson: What else do you have coming up?
Williams: Ordinary, my creator-owned book with D'israeli, is coming from Titan soon. Very excited about that. Ditto for The Royals: Masters of War, a six-issue series from Vertigo by me and Si Coleby. That's due in February. I'm writing two books in the Marvel UK Revolutionary War series - Knights of Pendragon and Super Soldiers, and I have a couple of big Judge Dredd stories coming too from 2000AD.
Eddie Robson is the writer of Dynamite's The Art Of Sean Phillips, as well as Doctor Who: Skyjacks! and Captain America: Living Legend (both with Andy Diggle) and forthcoming strips for 2000AD. He also writes radio comedy for the BBC - his series Welcome To Our Village, Please Invade Carefullyis available from iTunes and Audible - and Doctor Whoaudios for Big Finish Productions.

Duckwrote a review of Yakima Sky Box 18 Cargo Box on August 15, 2011
The Sky is the Limit!
Well, technically 18 cubic feet is the limit... but you get the point, right? My car already looks like a box, so I decided to put another box on top. It holds everything I have ever needed it to. 5-6 Snowboards and boots in the winter, way more camping gear than you'd ever need in the summer and since my Honda Element only has 4 seats on the interior, this bad boy can be used to put an extra passenger in. I don't think Yakima would support this statement, but they sure did make enough room for it! Getcha' some!

BOSTON, May 20 (UPI) -- The Atlanta Braves Sunday placed rookie right-hander Anthony Lerew on the 15-day disabled list with ulnar neuritis.
The move came a day after Lerew surrendered three earned runs and five hits in two innings of a 13-3 loss at Boston and departed after complaining of an ailing right elbow.
"I've had a little soreness in my elbow for the last month or so," Lerew said on the team's Web site. He was making his third start since being brought up to Atlanta on May 8.
"It's kind of affecting the way I'm releasing the ball right now. I've just got to get some treatment on it and figure out what's going on."
In three starts, Lerew is 0-2 with a 7.71 ERA in 11 2/3 innings.
Manager Bobby Cox had to use five relievers in his place.
Atlanta rebounded in Saturday's nightcap. Veteran John Smoltz allowed only three hits in seven scoreless innings in a 14-0 victory.

Inside the Pro Models with Jake Blauvelt
Words: Sara Owen
Photos: Crispin Cannon
Jake Blauvelt spent his season filming a web series called Naturally. "I felt like trying something new and embracing the power of the web," he says of his endeavor. According to Blauvelt, the season was one big highlight reel but perhaps nothing could top heliboarding insane terrain in perfect conditions with Terje Haakonsen and Fredi Kalbermatten. While filming Naturally, Blauvelt had a Berzerker strapped to his feet and the Oakley Choice kit covering his body. We talked to Blauvelt about the role of these signature products in his epic season.
Jake Blauvelt's Berzerker pro model brought to life a dying breed in snowboarding –the all-mountain board. Brands have been cutting allmountain boards from their lineups for the past several years in favor of noodle-like rockers built specifically for the park and pow boards that look like they've been yanked from your surfboard quiver. These brands have forgotten the value of a board that can handle the variety of terrain a rider like Blauvelt encounters. While the backcountry is clearly his stomping ground of choice these days, Blauvelt has been known to throw down in the park and take a lap or two on a groomer, which is why he and Ride worked together to build a versatile board. Putting the reins in Blauvelt's hands, Ride Board Designer Paul Mcginty stood by as Blauvelt came up with the specs and graphics for his board.
The moderately stiff Berzerker has a hybrid all-mountain shape, which Blauvelt explains as, "The best of both worlds with camber under foot for snap in and out of turns and slight rocker in the nose for float in the soft stuff." It comes in a range of sizes: 155, 158, 161, 164 and 167 and is also available in wider waist widths in the following sizes: 159, 162, 165 and 168. Another component of this board is its super durable 90A Slimewalls (sidewalls), which are key when you're riding heavy tree lines and dropping cliffs.
Blauvelt's signature graphic features a background that resembles Doodle Art (with hidden shapes and pictures) speckled with green maple leaves. The maple leaves and maple syrup jugs are a tribute to Blauvelt's home in Waterbury, Vermont where his family sugars maple syrup. "It's a little piece of family pride that reminds me where the heart is when I'm out in it," he says of the artwork.
This season Blauvelt also worked with Oakley to design the Oakley Pro Rider Series Choice Jake Blauvelt jacket and pant. Blauvelt's home mountain is the climatically-schizophrenic Mt. Baker, so his outerwear requirements are extreme. Fortunately, he only has two words to describe how close the final product is to his original vision, "spot on."
Tuning in to Blauvelt's needs, Oakley built a jacket and pant with breathable and waterproof 3-layer GORE-TEX, waterproof zips, and fully taped seams. Both the jacket and pant have useful features, like a fixed hood magnet (so the hood doesn't fly across your face and block your vision when you're spinning in the air), and engineered knee articulation
so that thknees won't get holes in them mid-season. The kit is highly functional and has been designed without any useless bells and whistles. It's done in Blauvelt's preferred fit –loose with the jacket in a Grey/Green or Crimson/Shadow combo and the pant in Shadow, Black and New Crimson.
Blauvelt's overall impression of his outerwear, "It keeps me dry and warm, so I can get after it when I'm out in the elements," says Blauvelt, "I hate being wet in the backcountry, and with this kit I was very happy," he concludes.

Things are rapidly changing in the recruitment of Brenham, Texas quarterback Jarrett Lee.
The 6-foot-3, 210-pound signal caller picked up three quick offers from Nebraska, TCU, and Houston. A fourth team, from the Big 12, has now jumped in the mix pushing his stock even higher. His travel plans are also beginning to come together for the spring.
"I got a new one last week or so from Kansas State," Lee said. "Other than that, it's those four right now. I figured that a few schools like Houston or TCU would be early, but I didn't think Kansas State and Nebraska would come this fast.
Article Continues Below
"It's exciting. I'm just getting out on the websites and seeing what these programs are all about right now."
Two trips are planned in the month of April for Lee.
"Well, April 15 I'm going to Nebraska's spring game and right before that, on April 8, I'm going to Texas Tech to visit," Lee said. "Coach Shawn Watson told me how intense the spring game is and I wanted to see Tech's too, but they were on the same day. So I pushed Tech before that and now I can visit both campuses."
Lee admits he grew up a Longhorn fan. Though he has heard from them through the mail and spoke with coach Greg Davis on occasion, he's keeping his options open.
"There aren't really any leading teams," Lee said. "I'm just waiting it out right now."
The Red Raiders have been a top team on his list and he expects an offer after he visits.
"Tech is pushing really hard along with LSU and Nebraska," he said. "Those three are recruiting the hardest, but Tech said they like to get players down to campus before they offer. I'm trying to go to LSU's campus too since I missed their junior day."
Lee also recognizes that he's part of a strong class considering three other players from his 2007 class have received Division I scholarship offers.
"I'm fortunate enough to play with all these guys," he said. "Hopefully we can push hard into next year and really go far."

To illustrate this point further, on one hand, illegal immigrants contribute $9.5 billion annually to Social Security. While on the other hand, in California alone — which is the national choice for immigrants — they cost the state roughly some $10.5 billion a year. These numbers are astounding and could well equip any contrarian, on either side of the immigration debate, with enough ammunition to attack his equally armed foe.
I believe what most people forget is that at some point we were all immigrants. And, in most cases, those who have immigrated to the United States have done so under similar motives to one another. As Americans, we have an immigration legacy that has perpetuated itself to this day and age. Our ancestors, the Puritans, came to this country out of religious persecution. However, their motive for being here was just as much financial, as corporations funded their trips in the hope of turning a profit.
There is no doubt that anyone entering this country should have no special or exceptional right that we as natural-born Americans don't possess. Every citizen, regardless of his plight and circumstance, should become a legal and taxpaying resident of this nation. We must always respect and honor the rule of law, which separates this country from every sovereign nation in the world.
We can accomplish this while at the same time understanding and respecting that we are all immigrants and that the majority migrated from somewhere other than our America. It is this migration that makes this country the symbol and beacon of the world that billions of people look to as the good shepherd and certainly the land of prosperity and uninterrupted freedom.
Williams can be heard daily on Sirius/XM Power 169 from 9 to 10 p.m. and from 5 to 6 a.m.

Rated "G"
Wal-Mart recently announced it would develop a sustainable product index for consumer goods worldwide. It's an ambitious and bold effort to reduce energy consumption, cut waste and introduce sustainable products with a rating that can be easily understood by consumers. While we are not likely to see this labeling for years, it is imperative for any producer of consumer products to understand the process that is being put in place and the impact it will have on all steps of the supply chain.
Here's a look at a few facts about this index that may get overlooked in the excitement of Wal-Mart's initial announcement.
- The ratings system is not just for suppliers of Wal-Mart and products sold in Wal-Mart stores but can be adopted for all consumer products, manufacturers and retailers worldwide.
- Wal-Mart is not developing the rating system; it's supporting the Sustainability Consortium (sustainabilityconsortium.org), which is led by Arizona State University and the University of Arkansas, and supported by other large consumer product companies such as Procter & Gamble, Cargill, Monsanto, General Mills, Waste Management. They will develop the methods and strategies to implement this sustainability index.
- This new "sustainability index" does not indicate any certification or compliance with a particular standard — and should not be used in place of certification. The index will be a measure of eco-friendliness of the manufacture, use and disposal of a particular product. Sustainability certifications, along with the use of approved input materials, are additional positive measures that will favorably impact a product's ultimate rating.
So, why pioneer this consumer sustainability product index? Wal-Mart's leadership feels an obligation to promote environmental stewardship; because of the company's size, its leaders know they can have a worldwide impact.
Good sustainability practices lead to efficiencies in production and distribution. These efficiencies can lead to cost reductions that will allow Wal-Mart to continue as a low-price leader.
Taking action now during a tough economy — and before competitors formulate a sustainability position — can be viewed as an offensive action that puts their competitors at a disadvantage. And while sustainable initiatives are still voluntary in the United States, Wal-Mart's present actions may preempt potential future regulatory and labeling government actions, similar to those now appearing in the United Kingdom and Japan.
Although the index will easily allow Wal-Mart to rate individual products and vendor performance, individual merchants also can be rated on the eco-friendliness of the products they purchase on behalf of the company. Anyone involved in this distribution chain who is not successful in improving the eco-friendliness of products under their control will certainly be viewed differently by the "powers that be." Some vendors may be pessimistic or even intimidated by the prospect of such a far-reaching program, but aggressive, progressive vendors will see it as an opportunity to differentiate themselves and their products from their competitors.
The significant change and improvement in processes and outcome will happen long before a consumer ever sees a product's score. Is there an opportunity not only to lower cost but also to increase profitability for both manufacturers and retailers? Most retailers do not believe that consumers now are prepared to pay more for sustainably produced goods, but that may change as younger consumers gain greater purchasing power. Will environmentally superior products command higher or even premium prices? Only time will tell.
What Labels Measure
How a product affects the environment traditionally depends more on how it's used and disposed of than how it is manufactured. Therefore, most labels include a lot of assumptions about how the product will be used when reporting the product's environmental impact. Some common examples are: Fuel consumption by an automobile depends in large part on the location and habits of the driver. The carbon footprint of laundry detergent is greatly affected by using either hot or cold water.
What Existing Labels Say
If Wal-Mart's efforts to establish a universally recognized measure of sustainability are successful, the present confusion and impact of ecological-performance labels maybe eliminated once and for all. Until that happens, consumers will be faced with environmental labels that can raise more questions than they resolve. There are some existing labels and claims, but not as many as most people think.
The longest-standing and most-recognizable is the fuel-economy rating posted on new automobiles. Some individual products are showing up on shelves with a carbon-footprint rating, but differing methodologies makes comparing competing products suspect.
In the world of horticulture, firms that have attained certification under the VeriFlora standard can label their product "Certified Sustainably
Produced" with the VeriFlora logo or their own environmental logo. Those who have completed MPS certification can label with the MPS logo of their particular level of certification. Certification in the USDA's National Organic Program also allows use of that logo in marketing and packaging. Others labels sometimes seen are Certified Fair Trade and Florverde.
Other environmental labels include Eco Options (Home Depot), Energy Star, Rainforest Alliance, C.A.F.E. Practices (Starbucks), Fair Labor, FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), NutriClean, LEED and EPP (Environmentally Preferred Products).
Verifying Claims
At this point, all sustainable measures are voluntary. Any verification or conformation to requirements has been instituted by third-party standard developers or the agency developing the criteria, such as the USDA. The Federal Trade Commission has started to examine a few corporate environmental claims in an effort to ensure that consumers are not duped, but they haven't released any conclusions. A number of private institutions are working on voluntary standards. There is pending legislation in both Congress and the State of California to establish standards for assessing carbon footprint. For now, it is up to consumers to determine the validity and value of a label's claim.
How Labels Affect Consumer Behavior
Most experts agree that it is too early in the use of green labels to determine how consumers are affected by environmental claims. Fuel Economy labels have been around for decades, yet manufacturers indicate that unless fuel costs spike well above recent averages, most buying decisions are based on other criteria.
The term greenwashing refers to the act of misleading consumers regarding the environmental practices of a company or the environmental benefits of a product or service.
The worldwide scope of Wal-Mart's eco labeling efforts, coupled with the development and introduction of additional private and possibly governmental environmental standards and claims will certainly lead to a geometric increase in promotion and marketing efforts for the products affixed with these labels. All of these will be touted as being "impactful, superior, most effective, number one" and almost any other superlative you can think of. Truth in advertising will be crucial but extremely difficult to impart to the consumer. With the explosion of social networking (see "Food for Thought" on page 23) and its immediacy, second chances to correct promotional mistakes will be far and few between. Anyone so much as thought to be engaging in greenwashing will experience immediate, significant and probably negative consumer impact.

The Seven Sins of Greenwashing
In 2007, Terra Choice released its first study, "The Six Sins of Greenwashing." They released a new report in 2009 with seven sins that continues to educate consumers and marketers about "the pitfalls of greenwashing."
The Hidden Trade-Off: When an eco-friendly claim is based on a narrow set of attributes without taking into consideration other more important environmental issues that outweigh or negate them.
No Proof: This occurs when an environmental claim cannot be substantiated by a reliable third party or easily accessible information.
Vagueness: This happens when a claim is poorly defined or so broad that consumers could easily misunderstand it. For example, "all-natural." Many extremely harmful chemicals, including arsenic, mercury and formaldehyde, occur naturally but are still dangerous.
Worshipping False Labels: A product that, through either words or images, falsely implies third-party endorsement.
Irrelevance: An environmental claim that is actually true but is unimportant or unhelpful to consumers seeking eco-friendly products.
Lesser of Two Evils: A claim that is true within a product category but where the whole category has negative environmental impact. Think cigarettes from organically grown tobacco.
Fibbing: Environmental claims that are just plain false. Labeling a product with a third-party certification when it has not obtained the certification.

U.S. Congressman Mac Thornberry (R-Clarendon) voted today in support of the "North American Energy Security and Infrastructure Act of 2015," which includes a number of importantLiquefied Natural Gas (LNG), oil, and natural gas provisions and also enhances the security of the U.S. electric power grid. The bill,H.R. 8, passed the House by a vote of 249-174.
The legislation would enhance emergency preparedness and use advanced technologies to address threats to the electric system while improving infrastructure vulnerabilities. It would also expedite the permitting process for LNG exports and natural gas pipelines and lift the ban on oil exports.
"We must maximize our energy potential by modernizing our policies," said Thornberry. "By promoting American energy exports to our allies, reducing unnecessary regulations, and reinforcing our energy infrastructure, we can grow our economy and ensure that our energy systems are sheltered from threats and rid of deficiencies."
H.R. 8 would address grid security, oil exports, and important permits and decisions for LNG exports and natural gas pipelines by:

Car-crime police team retained
The auto-crime team in west Belfast is to be retained, police have said.
Vehicle-related crime has reduced by more than 75% since the team was established eight years ago.
Recent plans to disband the unit had caused concern in the community.
Those proposals have been abandoned but the team will move to a different police station and will also take on drugs, burglaries and anti-social roles.
Chief Inspector Emma Mooney said: "The excellent skills and local knowledge of the ACT have earned them much respect among local people and resulted in an impressive reduction in vehicle-related crime in the area since their introduction eight years ago.
"It is good news for everybody that we cannot only retain those skills and knowledge but employ them in an even more targeted fashion in the future."
The PSNI originally said disbanding the team would allow the force to put more officers on the beat. However it faced protests led by political representatives and local clergy who feared lives could be lost if car crime returned to previous levels.
Ms Mooney added: "We have received tremendous feedback and I am pleased to announce that the ACT will be retained to serve the people of west Belfast and beyond.
"There will be some minor operational changes such as the fact that they will now be based at Woodbourne station rather than Dunmurry and that their duties will include tackling other key district priorities such as drugs, burglaries and anti-social behaviour - all of which are strongly linked to vehicle crime, which will remain their main priority."

OverviewVulture Peak tops the Vulture Mountains, a small but dramatic range in northwestern Maricopa County, south of Wickenburg. Its block-shaped summit mass is a well-known and familar landmark visible from miles in all directions and even from distant mountaintops, if you know where to look.
Despite its imposing appearance, a climb to the summit is well within most people's comfort level. A good trail gets you to a saddle below the summit, while the final 240+ vertical feet to the top is a combination of chutes, rock-scrambling and cactus-avoidance. It's not overly technical, and exposure is minimal, but there are a couple spots where care is needed. The views from the top are well worth the effort.
Getting ThereWickenburg is about 45 miles northwest of Phoenix via US-60/Grand Avenue. The best way to avoid the traffic is to access US-60 from the Loop-101 freeway in Glendale, the Loop-303 expressway near Sun City, or AZ-74 via Lake Pleasant. No matter what, though, you will hit traffic.
In Wickenburg stay west on US-60 past downtown for about 3 miles to Vulture Mine Road. Turn left and drive south about 6 miles (or so... I'm estimating) to a well-marked turn-off toward the peak. Passenger cars park early at the trailhead while 4-wheel drive can proceed another 1.5 mile to a higher trailhead. Vulture Peak will be visible the whole way in.
Wickenburg has full services, including hotels, restaurants and an interesting 'old-west' downtown. There's a major grocery store, discount store and pharmacy at the junction of US-60 and Vulture Mine Road.
For an interesting back way to this point from Phoenix, take I-10 west to exit 103 (339th Avenue). Go right (north) to Indian School Road, then left (west) a couple miles to 355th Avenue. A sign will point to Wickenburg. Follow this fine paved highway about 20+ miles to a junction with Vulture Mine Road. Turn right and go north another 20+ miles to the Vulture Peak turn-off. These roads are paved but rarely traveled. They are not state highways. There is talk that these roads may be expanded as part of the Canamex/Nafta free-trade route, bypassing Phoenix. For now, they are lonely roads through desolate desert country.
Red TapeNo fees, passes or anything required. Just show up!
When To ClimbWinter is best as summer is very hot. Snow is extremely rare and often doesn't last more than a few hours. November to April would be your best window for this peak.
CampingThe trailhead area seems to be open to RVs so I imagine you can car-camp here. It's pretty basic bush-camping. Wickenburg has hotels and is a neat place to visit. I do not know of any developed campgrounds in the immediate area other than near Lake Pleasant, which is kind of far off and with its own set of restrictions and hassles.
The Vulture Mine Ghost TownThe Vulture Mine Website
The Vulture Mine and townsite is a remarkably well-preserved gold mine dating from the 19th century, located about 5 miles south of the trailhead along Vulture Mine Road (about 12 miles south of Wickenburg proper). The land is privately owned but tours are available at a very reasonable price. This isn't some ghost town where all you see are foundations. Here, you see the actual buildings - falling apart, of course - but authentic. Well worth a visit!

Our final tea today was one we have had many times, but we haven't had in rather a while. Paris is the tea I used to make for people who they "don't really drink tea.". This one would win them over. Although oddly enough, with the college age kids hanging around my house these days, it is the puerh that is converting them to tea! Go figure!
Delicious, as always.

A cross between a trike and a gyrocopter, this concept vehicle from PAL-V does both land and air. With a top speed of 125mph on land, and 120mph up in the air, speed demons and gadget freaks will go crazy for what its creators are touting as the future of travel.
The helicoptor rotor blades fold up onto the roof when they are not in use, and to fly, the trike's back end morphs into a u-shaped tail with a prop. Tilting technology will help you take the bends in the road without ending up ass over tit.
Whether the trike's creators will launch it in 2009 remains to be seen. However, it could conceivably make an appearance in the next James Bond movie, although I doubt it will top Sean Connery's tux-and-jet-pack exit in Thunderball.

Mr Abdool added: "It will be a tranquil place for people to go. What we're trying to do is to encourage, self-healing, prevention and wellbeing for the socially isolated and lonely of people of all age groups."

So this fight has turned into a easy long an boring fight to a hard , long boring fight. What was your reasoning in increasing the range on the destroyer? Prior to the change we had 2 ranged sit outside of his shield while 3 hit the Cryo-lasers. Now it is much harder to do because of the attacks that he does. I'm all for challenge in a boss fight, but this is just ridiculous.
the reason I had to increase his range was due to an exploit players could take advantage of to afk during the fight with auto attack on and easily win it.
As for his health, he already has half the normal health of other legendary creatures, and his toughness is scaled down as well. I don't imagine I will lower his health down any further since I have watched groups kill him in just 2 tries.
well, the shield is down for a total of 17 seconds, so it took them about 34 seconds of the shield being down, plus another 30-40 seconds working with the lasers.
2 tries meaning they only had to bring the shield down twice.
@ omgwtflolbll (funny name btw)
Yeah, you're fairly correct about that. If I'm running with my dungeon group I go full glass cannon, but with pugs or unfamiliar people I tend to run a toughness spec. If you are good enough, and your group has good synergy, you don't need all that defense, and you can play a bit riskier.
I did not change his HP in this last patch. I was just stating what his HP has always been.

I just have to comment on this very artistic post. The division of areas within the frame tied together by the images and colors are so very interesting and beautiful. It is like a lilting music jumping from music bar to music bar. This one are colors jumping from one area to another. Very neat capture.

.- The life of Pope John Paul II "truly represents one of the most profound in modern human history," said the Thomas More Law Center in a statement on the death of Pope John Paul II, who died April 2 at the age of 84.
The statement highlights the Pope's persistence in "calling all people to a life of prayer, holiness and dedication to Jesus Christ in the midst of a fallen world.
"He warned not only Catholics but also all people of goodwill, of the 'enormous and dramatic clash' between the culture of life and the culture of death, between good and evil," the statement reads.
"As a champion of life, he boldly proclaimed the responsibility of all people to build communities of faith and respect for the inherent dignity of every human being."
The statement pointed out that the third-longest reigning Pope "spoke out against abuses of the human person and rejected the selfishness of the West manifested in abortion, homosexuality, and the destructive forces of materialism and secularism. He once stated: 'A nation that kills its own children has no future.'"
The Pope "faithfully protected the traditions and doctrines of the Catholic Church, defending them with intellectual vigor and pastoral discernment."
The first Polish Pope "transcended national and religious boundaries by calling all people to a life of faith and hope," the statement reads. "He will forever be remembered by the first words of his pontificate: 'Be Not Afraid!'"

Zanzibar, Tanzania (AFP) Nov 13, 2006
A ban on thin plastic bags blamed for environmental degradation and harming wildlife took effect Thursday on Tanzania's tourism-dependent Zanzibar archipelago, officials said. Amid growing concern over damage to the islands' fragile eco-system, authorities announced the start of enforcement of the ban on such bags at the expiration of a statutory 45-day waiting period since parliament adopted it.
"The ban becomes effective today," said Ali Juma, semi-autonomous Zanzibar's environment chief.
"We have been lax in the implementation of the environment laws, but it is a fact that plastic bags are very dangerous to land and damaging to marine life," he told reporters.
The regulation bars the importation, distribution and sale of light plastic bags whose thickness is measured at 30 microns and below and follows similar moves by countries on the African mainland.
Zanzibari offenders of the law risk jail sentences of six months, a fine of up to 2,000 dollars (1,560 euros) or both.
Juma said his office would begin an islands-wide awareness campaign to educate Zanzibaris about the dangers of the flimsy shopping bags, which, when discarded in the open, can pose significant threats to humans and animals.
Experts say the bags can provide micro-habitats for malaria-carrying mosquitos, block gutters and drains, choke farm animals and marine life, pollute the soil, are visual blots and can take 20 to 1,000 years to decompose.
Enforcement of the ban on Zanzibar comes as authorities seek to improve environmental protection on the islands, world renowned for their exotic spice- and slave-trade history as well as pristine, palm-fringed beaches.
Last month, officials warned that Zanzibar was in danger of becoming one of the world's most environmentally endangered island chains due to unchecked disposals of raw sewage, solid waste and deforestation.

Charles thanked the servicemen and women for their relentless courage and said the nation owed them "an everlasting debt of gratitude".
In his message, recorded last week at St James's Palace and aired this morning, the Prince said all those stationed abroad were very much in his thoughts and prayers.
He added: "I also wanted to pay tribute to the extraordinary contribution made by those of you who belong to our Armed Forces, in all sorts of different parts of the world.
"Nowhere is your fortitude and relentless courage more clearly on display than in Afghanistan, where your resilience, patience and determination to see the job through - usually in impossibly difficult conditions and circumstances - is, quite simply, humbling."
He also joked about receiving a "rare" letter from his younger son, Prince Harry, an Apache helicopter co-pilot gunner serving with the Army Air Corps.
He has been stationed at Camp Bastion since September.
Christmas broadcasts to British troops serving abroad have been made by the Queen in the past. Her last message was recorded in 2006.
Charles's words of support for the servicemen and women were aired on the British Forces Broadcasting Service radio at 11am.
The Prince is Colonel-in-Chief of a number of regiments serving in Afghanistan.
He said he knew about the hardships troops face because of the regular reports from his units - and the occasional contact with Harry.
He said: "I am well aware of the discomfort and privations you all endure with seemingly endless reserves of good humour.
"In addition to the intense heat and dust of the summer and the freezing winters, you face the constant, terrifying threat of IEDs (improvised explosive devices), attacks from rockets, grenades and small arms fire almost every day - and sometimes these attacks come from infiltrators hidden among those who are supposed to be working alongside you as allies.
"And yet you all seem to bounce back in an almost unbelievable way, despite the setbacks and vicious insurgent attacks."
Charles is Colonel-in-Chief of four military units which have troops serving in Afghanistan at the moment - The Royal Dragoon Guards, Army Air Corps, The Royal Gurkha Rifles and The Mercian Regiment.
He added: "With two sons currently serving in the Armed Forces, one of whom is with you all out there, I really do have at least some understanding of what your loved ones on the 'home front' are going through."
He said servicemen and women could keep in touch with relatives through phone calls and the internet "or, in the case of my younger son, to receive a very rare and precious letter in answer to mine".

There's no guarantee that the Central Corridor light rail transit project, which is still in planning stages, will receive full federal funding.
However, Metropolitan Council officials are taking steps to comply with federal rules which require hiring women and minority-owned companies for some of the work on the project.
Central Corridor spokeswoman Laura Baenen says so far, 16 companies owned by women and minorities have been hired.
Baenen says one woman-owned company, St. Paul-based Rani Engineering, was able to hire more workers because of subcontract work on the Hiawatha light rail line.
"She's gone from four to 18, and her firm is doing all of the surveying, the whole 11-mile route from building face to building face and the adjoining streets," says Baenen.
The proposed $930 million Central Corridor light rail line will run along University avenue from St. Paul to downtown Minneapolis with completion scheduled in 2014 if the Federal Transit Administration agrees to the plan.

It covers the base of three of Arizona's most beautiful mountain ranges, rising more than 9,000 feet. You'll also rack up good karma for the holiday season: The 32-year-old event, which draws some 10,000 cyclists, helps raise millions for various charities, including a new primary beneficiary that hasn't been announced yet. One possible roadblock: "Watch out for the river wash crossings," warns premier CTS coach Nick White. "Cyclists typically have to dismount and look for high ground through a dry riverbed."

A volcano in Japan erupted on Sunday[1], it covered a nearby city with a layer of ash.
The Sakurajima volcano shot ash up to three miles in the air and had lava flow a little over half a mile away from the fissure. The eruption caused the nearby city of Kagoshima to be covered in a layer of ash. There were no injures caused by the eruption and city officials soon took to cleaning up the town. Kagoshima is use to experiencing the effects of Sakurajima's eruptions. The volcano has erupted 500 times this year. Residents wore mask and raincoats to protect themselves from the ash, drivers turned on their headlights and railways were closed for a short time while the track were cleaned, reports The Washington Post.
The eruption on Sunday is one of the largest [2]that Sakurjima has produced in decades.
