Chicago's 'Bean' -- Made in America
Posted by LDonia on 09/09/2013
When we at the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) started thinking of manufacturing facts to share this month, we especially wanted to learn the stories about recognizable landmarks in the United States.
Today's fact comes to us from Chicago, Illinois and deals with the often-photographed "bean."
The structure, comprised of 168 metal plates, stands at 66 feet long by 33 feet high, with a 12 foot arch. The designer of the public art installation created it to look like liquid mercury.
Learn more about the Cloud Gate/Chicago's bean.

Tommy Dorsey
Though he might have been ranked second at any given moment to Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, or Harry James, Tommy Dorsey was overall the most popular bandleader of the swing era that lasted from 1935 to 1945. His remarkably melodic trombone playing was the signature sound of his orchestra, but he successfully straddled the hot and sweet styles of swing with a mix of ballads and novelty songs. He provided showcases to vocalists like Frank Sinatra, Dick Haymes, and Jo Stafford, and he employed inventive arrangers such as Sy Oliver and Bill Finegan. He was the biggest-selling artist in the history of RCA Victor Records, one of the major labels, until the arrival of Elvis Presley, who was first given national exposure on the 1950s television show he hosted with his brother Jimmy.

Vasquez Excited to Be Playing for Kings
Posted By HOOPSWORLD On July 13, 2013 @ 7:50 am In Headlines,NBA Headlines | No Comments
Pete D'Alessandro's first conversation with Greivis Vasquez after the Kings' general manager agreed to trade for him was memorable.
Vasquez, a 6-foot-6 point guard, expressed excitement about joining the Kings.
"He's a player and a model of what we're looking for as a team," D'Alessandro said. "… I'm excited for us. I'm excited for our fans. I'm excited for his teammates."
Vasquez, acquired in the three-team trade that sent Tyreke Evans to New Orleans, said he can't wait to move to Sacramento and begin preparing for next season.
In a phone interview Friday, Vasquez was appreciative that D'Alessandro brought him to Sacramento.
"His first trade was for me," said Vasquez, a 26-year-old Venezuelan. "I'm not going to let him down."

London: Holders Czech Republic showed how tenaciously they will fight to retain the Davis Cup on Saturday as Tomas Berdych and Lukas Rosol won a record-breaking doubles match against Swiss duo Marco Chiudinelli and Stanislas Wawrinka.

Czechs set Davis Cup record as Serbia cruise
Reigning champions have the last laugh in longest match ever
- Image Credit: REUTERS
- Tomas Berdych (L) of the Czech Republic celebrates with his team mate Lukas Rosol after winning his Davis Cup world group round 1 tennis doubles match against Stanislas Wawrinka and Marco Chiudinelli of Switzerland at Palexpo in Geneva February 2, 2013. With a duration of seven hours and one minute, the match was the longest in Davis Cup history.
Their seven hour two minute victory, including a 24-22 final set, put the Czechs 2-1 ahead in the tie in Geneva and they needed 13 match points before the Swiss finally cracked. But for France and Serbia, things were far more straightforward as they took unassailable 3-0 leads in their matches against Israel and Belgium respectively.
Argentina also clinched a quarter-final berth by taking a 3-0 lead against Germany.
Top seeds Spain will try to stay alive in Canada later on Saturday having lost both of Friday's singles.
Czech Rosol was formerly best known as the man who stunned Rafa Nadal at Wimbledon last year but now he has another claim to fame after Saturday's epic doubles win with Berdych.
Their 6-4 5-7 6-4 6-7 24-22 win was achieved despite fierce home support and was sealed by a double-fault.
Wawrinka, who lost a five-set epic against Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open.
French duo Julien Benneteau and Michael Llodra thrashed Israel's Dudi Sela and Jonathan Erlich 7-6 6-1 6-0 in Rouen to give France a 3-0 lead.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Richard Gasquet both comfortably won their singles matches on Friday.
Djokovic, playing his first match since winning the Australian Open for a third consecutive year, crushed Olivier Rochus on Friday on an indoor clay court in Charleroi.
France, bidding for a 10th Davis Cup title, will face Argentina in the quarter-finals after the south Americans clinched victory with a day to spare against Germany.
David Nalbandian and Horacio Zeballos delighted the Buenos Aires crowd with a 6-1 6-4 5-7 6-2 victory against Christopher Kas and Tobias Kamke.
Kamke stood in for Philipp Kohlschreiber, who retired in the fifth set of Friday's opening singles with a pulled hamstring against Carlos Berlocq.
Germany's captain Carsten Arriens said the home crowd at Parque Roca had been fantastic in their support for Argentina, adding he would love to have a CD of their chants.
"Argentina will need that to play France," he said.
Serbia will face the United States if they complete victory over Brazil, having forged a 2-0 lead.
Elsewhere, Austria kept their tie against Kazakhstan alive as Julian Knowle and Alexander Peya won the doubles to leave the hosts leading 2-1 in Astana. Italy lead Croatia 2-1.

IN its most substantive effort in a decade to protect the historic and architectural treasures of Harlem, the Landmarks Preservation Commission has proposed 25 structures in upper Manhattan for landmark designation.
The first public hearing, which cranks up the designation process, is being planned for early July, and more may follow. If all 25 candidates are approved it will more than double the number of individual landmarks in Harlem, which now has 21 landmarked structures -- not including the 27 Astor Row Houses on west 130th between Fifth and Lenox Avenues -- and three historic districts.
The commission's initiative comes less than a year after its new chairwoman, Laurie Beckelman, pledged to make neighborhoods like Harlem, which many believe have been overlooked, a priority.
But some preservationists have called the initiative too little, and perhaps too late.
And while a sense of Harlem's place in the city's history as well as its role as the spiritual capital of black America is the essence of its pride, the issue of landmarking has stirred debate in the community.

History & Travel Resources: Mount Vesuvius
Mount Vesuvius is one of history's most famous volcanoes. Located in Naples, Italy, this volcano is considered active, meaning it has the potential to erupt at any time. This infamous volcano is most known for its gigantic eruption that occurred in August of 79 AD. The volcano killed thousands of people in the surrounding villages, including the legendary Pompeii. Almost ten feet of ash covered these small villages, literally burying the victims underneath. This incident shows just how immense and powerful Mount Vesuvius was. Most scientists agree the volcano formed because of massive earthquakes that occurred years before. By the year 79, water was scarce and springs were dry. This caused the earth below to crack and upset the seas, which "irritated" Mount Vesuvius and caused the well-known eruption. Because the ash from the volcano helped to preserve the city of Pompeii, this particular natural disaster is now one of the most famous in all of history.

China ups ante in solar trade war

Well that didn't take long.
The same week the U.S. Department of Commerce said it would stick Chinese solar manufacturers with tariffs of about 34 percent for dumping cheap panels on the United States market, China's Ministry of Commerce accused the U.S. federal government of violating free trade rules through its support of six unnamed renewable energy projects.

...ties Lou Gehrig for 1st all time.

"It's easy to grin, when your ship comes in, and you've got the stock market beat. But the man worthwhile, is the man who can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat."
How many of those did he hit while on steroids? I'll say at least 7.
Nope. Yankees came to English Field on 3/18/08. I'll never forget that gesture.*
IIRC multiple sports teams made monetary or other donations.
I'm not taking away from the Yankees. It was great seeing them in Blacksburg, and it was a fantastic gesture. But I don't think that ties in to baseball fandom, and if an Orioles fan wants to say "Screw the Yankees", we don't have to bring up the events, aftermath, and response to April 16.

Sorry, my 'submit' it fucked up, so I had to delete the official answer to your question... anyway, may I ask why you don't believe I'm a feminist? This is actually a first, people usually tell me I'm quite radical, but I guess everyone has their own definition. (I'm assuming French is not your first language, and trying to make the conversation easier for you. Just switch back to French if that makes you feel more comfortable.)
Yeah I'm half French but I'm a lot more able to express myself in English :)
Ok the reason I said this was actually just a misunderstanding. I saw some anti-feminist memes you posted a few days ago and was kind of outraged…but then I checked out your blog thoroughly and realised you probably meant for these to stimulate those kind of sentiments? And they were intended ironically?

United's Dwayne De Rosario an atypical, but deserving MLS MVP
CARSON, Calif. — It's safe to say Dwayne De Rosario is the most unconventional Most Valuable Player in Major League Soccer's 16-year history.
After all, when the D.C. United midfielder-forward on Friday accepted the trophy at the Home Depot Center in Carson, the site of Sunday's MLS Cup, he became the first player from a club that did not make the playoffs to claim MVP honors. And De Rosario is also the only athlete from a major North American sports league to earn the accolade while playing for three teams in one season.
But whatever detriment those factors were to his MVP odds ultimately mattered not, as voters chose to reward the lethal attacking force who scored a league-leading 16 goals and notched 12 assists, including 13 strikes and seven helpers after joining United in a June trade with the New York Red Bulls.
To put those numbers in perspective, no other player in the top 40 for goals scored this season reached double-digit assists. As D.C.'s fourth MVP, De Rosario ensured his name will down in club lore alongside past winners Marco Etcheverry (1998), Christian Gomez (2006) and Luciano Emilio (2007).
"In all of our years, we've had some great, great players," said United president Kevin Payne, who accompanied De Rosario at the MVP ceremony. "I've never seen a better performance than what we got from Dwayne — not only the number of goals and number of assists, but the quality of the goals. It was pretty remarkable."
The 33-year-old carried a rebuilding D.C. side that stayed in the playoff race until the season's final week, scoring or assisting 20 of the 28 goals United bagged following his arrival. Whether he was deployed as a creative presence out of central midfield or a menacing target up top, De Rosario was in a league of his own throughout the second half of the campaign.
His tallies came in a variety of stunning packages, including headers, penalty kicks, one-time blasts and, most memorably, a curling, long-range free kick that earned Goal of the Year consideration. De Rosario recorded two hat tricks during the stellar run of form, including the fastest in league history (three goals by the 31st minute) in a 4-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Sept. 24.
The Canadian, as a result, finished comfortably ahead of the MVP runner-up, Brad Davis of the Houston Dynamo. FC Dallas' Brek Shea finished third, while Landon Donovan of the Los Angeles Galaxy and Mauro Rosales of the Seattle Sounders rounded out the top five.
"We would have loved to see Brad win," said Houston coach Dominic Kinnear, who is preparing his side to face Los Angeles in the MLS Cup. "We knew it was going to be close, but I think Dwayne is a deserving recipient of the award — possibly long overdue."
Although De Rosario narrowly edged out Davis in the voting by club representatives and media, he was the runaway winner among players, garnering more than three times as many votes as any other candidate.
"I don't just play in the league — I'm a fan of it. I admire a lot of players," De Rosario said. "That's the greatest feeling one could ever receive, when fellow players identify with your hard work and dedication and commitment."
De Rosario began the season with his hometown team, Toronto FC, before being shipped to New York on April 1. But he never truly found his rhythm in New York's big-name lineup and was sent to D.C. for midfielder Dax McCarty on June 27, after just 13 games with the Red Bulls.
It turned to be one of the biggest steals in MLS history. McCarty struggled to lock down a starting role in the New York midfield while De Rosario went on to further enhance his status as one of the most decorated players the league has ever seen.
All told, De Rosario has won four MLS Cups (earning MVP honors for two of those contests), been named to six All-Star squads, and scored 93 goals — good for seventh all-time. He still referred to his latest accomplishment, however, as the "highest honor I have ever received in my career."
Even though D.C. holds an option to keep De Rosario under contract for one year, Payne said the club will sit down with his representatives, noting United "do think that Dwayne has more than one year left in the tank at a very high level."

Madeline Rogero, Mayor
City to Present Check to Animal Center
July 23, 2009
- The City will present a check from the proceeds from the 2009 Mardi Growl Dog Parade to the Young-Williams Animal Center on Tuesday, July 28 at 10 a.m. at Young-Williams Animal Center, 3201 Division Street.
Joe Walsh, Director of the City of Knoxvilles Parks and Recreation Department will present the check. Other speakers will include Tim Adams, Executive Director of the Young-Williams Animal Center and Deputy Director Kathy Darnell.
The date for the 2010 Mardi Growl will also be announced during the check ceremony.
More than 500 dogs, most wearing costumes, and roughly 1,000 of their human companions participated in the second annual Mardi Growl Dog Parade on Feb. 21, in downtown Knoxville.
With Rudy, a Labrador Retriever who portrayed Marley in the movie Marley & Me, leading the way as grand marshal the parade also included selection of a Mardi Growl Royal Court of festively costumed dogs.
The colorful parade raises awareness and funds for the Young-Williams Animal Centers pet adoption efforts. The Mardi Growl was presented by PetSafe Village and Invisible Fence Brand and was produced by the City of Knoxville and the Young-Williams Animal Center.
This years event generated more than $6,000 for the center and led to several pet adoptions.

Hey not sure if I would be able to run bf4 on ultra settings so heres my pc specs and yeh tell me what use think: AMD FX(TM)-4100 quad core Processor 4.05ghz 8gb ram ddr3 Mainboard: MSI 970A-G4 (MS-7693) HITACHI 1TB @7200RPM AMD RADEON 6670 X2 4GB dedicated graphics cross fire 850w power supply bronze
I would spend a little more and get this version of the 760: MSI Gaming N760 TF 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256...
What are you trying to say? I need more than 4gb of graphics? Or are you talking about the clock speed? Please explain
The processor and the graphics cards are on the low end. You may need to upgrade both the graphics and the cpu to run anything above medium settings at best. Its best to wait and see how BF4 runs ,it may run to your satisfaction without an upgrade.
Yeh I guess that sounds like the best option, I run my games 1920x1080 on medium setting without a problem and that's also without overclocking, when in overclocking mode I can run in high.
CMOS battery Ok guys im currently building a low profile gaming pc and the motherboard I got given didn't have a battery in it and I dont know what one I need note: I don't have the manual nor can I find one on the net. Thanks
upgrade graphics card Hey guys im just a little confused, when upgrading your graphics card all you need to do is install it into the motherboard and then install the drivers? Am I correct?
It would be wise to delete all the previously installed driver's first as well. Then run ghost buster after you install the new one to get rid of duplicate registry entries for cards you are no longer using
One more thing, I just finish building a new pc but im getting this error. "Windows Explorer has encountered an error and needs to close" it was working fine before only recently been getting this error.

It seems a German scientist has disproved the theory that blondes have more fun. Professor Hans Juergens claims men want to marry blondes like Claudia Schiffer but have affairs with brunettes like Zeta Jones. According to his report, the scientist says men associate blondes with marriage and washing powder - eh? - but brunettes with sex. To test the theory the professor put two adverts in a newspaper pretending to be a 26-year-old woman looking for marriage. In one he made her blonde, in the other a brunette. "The men wanted to bed the dark-haired women, but were thinking of sharing their lives or building a house with the blonde," he said. Professor Juergens also claims advertisers have already noticed the changing attitudes towards hair colour, reports Ananova. "Almost everything that is associated with washing and cleaning materials is advertised with a blonde," he said. Meanwhile dark-haired women are used to sell chocolate, alcoholic drinks and sexy pants.

This morning (well, technically, it's afternoon, but I slept in so it's morning for me), I decided to brew up a special treat. This is the very last of this tea that I had from a small "tester" batch that I made. Assam and custard go well together, I think.
The sweet, creamy custard flavor brings out some of the Assam's malty characteristics. Very nice, just slightly bitter (but not in a bad way), very pleasant way to start the day!
Oh, that does sound good. I know someone who goes to England just for the custards! Also the puds in general, but custards in particular.

REYKJAVIK— Here we come again, Manitoba. Hard times have hit Iceland, as they did in 1875. And as they did in 1875, Icelanders are looking to Manitoba for a better life.
Recently, about 500 people attended a seminar in Reykjavik, put on by the Icelandic Directorate of Labour and the Canadian Embassy. The topic was on a recent agreement regarding work opportunities for Icelanders in Manitoba, and on temporary work permits and permanent-resident permits in Canada.
"I'll take anything that's on offer," said Ragnheidur Gunnarsdottir, a single mother of three children, who has a degree in commerce. She last worked as a hair stylist, has been unemployed since last fall and hopes she will get a job in Manitoba. "I'm ready to go anytime," she said.
Hrafnhildur Hrund Helgadottir is also the mother of three young children. She is a masseuse by profession and has also studied marketing. Her husband has finished his MA in history. "We are unemployed and would like to work in Manitoba. Canada looks very interesting and my husband would even consider taking his PhD in Winnipeg. We are open to anything."
Iceland, with a population af about 315,000, has been hit hard by the world financial crisis -- harder than any other western nation. About 17,000 people are unemployed in Iceland and the number grows every day. Because of this situation, Icelanders have been looking for jobs elsewhere and Manitoba is becoming more and more attractive.
For one thing, because of the great migration a century and more ago, it looks a lot like home.
Nowhere outside of Iceland are there as many people with Icelandic roots as in Manitoba. It has been estimated that about 80,000 to 100,000 people of Icelandic descent live in the province, although the 2006 census indicates half those numbers. Regardless of which number is correct, it is high in comparison to the population of Iceland, and for an Icelander emigrating to Manitoba, it is just like moving home.
The parallel to the 1870s shouldn't be overstated, though.
Back then, the Icelandic economy was devastated by a volcanic eruption that darkened the sky. Starvation was a clear and present threat, and fully a fifth of Iceland's population left its shores. That was 14,000 to 17,000 people. Most of them moved to North America, particularly Canada, and even more particularly, the shore of Lake Winnipeg just north of the postage-stamp province of Manitoba.
The first group of approximately 270 Icelandic immigrants to Manitoba arrived in Winnipeg on Oct. 11, 1875. Mostly farmers and fishermen, they were rugged and no strangers to hardship. They would need those attributes in their new home. "They are a smart-looking, intelligent and excellent people and a most valuable acquisition to the population," the Manitoba Free Press commented the day after the first wave arrived. The majority of the group (about 50, mainly young women, remained behind because they got jobs in Winnipeg) continued to a colony on the west shore of Lake Winnipeg called New Iceland. They came to Willow Point, just south of present-day Gimli, on October 21. New Iceland became a part of Manitoba in 1881.
Life in Iceland has never been easy, although one could say that during the last few years it appeared that Icelanders were on top of the universe. But the bubble burst last fall. The three biggest Icelandic banks failed. Companies and individuals have increasingly declared bankruptcy and the outlook is not good for many more.
Unlike in 1875, though, nobody is starving. There is no lack of food in Iceland, health care is as strong as before and the educational system runs as smoothly as ever. Actually, there are more people seeking further education now than before the crash. Unskilled workers are increasingly going to school to finish their degree to have better job opportunities at home and abroad. Icelanders aren't travelling as much this year, however, most flights are fully booked at upcoming Easter time. In other words, almost everybody has had to take a cut but the majority have not been badly affected by the crash.
According to statistics published in early March, about 12,000 households (15 per cent) in Iceland could not afford their debts and were facing bankruptcy. According to the first preliminary results published a few days later by an Iceland's Central Bank Working Group on the effects of the financial crisis on Icelandic households, about 14,600 households are in negative equity -- their mortgages are more than the house is worth. Five thousand of them are more than five million Icelandic kronur (about $55,000 Cdn) in the red. That's about 18 per cent of Icelandic homes, not quite as bad as the U.S., where estimates range from 20 to 30 per cent, but much worse than Canada, where stricter lending practices have kept negative equity minimal, at least so far.
Atli Asmundsson, the Consul General of Iceland in Manitoba, briefed the Manitoba government on the situation in Iceland in October 2008 and the government immediately expressed its good will to offer employment in Manitoba to skilled Icelandic workers.
"Already on October 24th, I met with Premier Gary Doer to explain the difficult situation in Iceland to him," Asmundsson said. "He said that Iceland could count on Manitoba ¥s friendship and support during this difficult period. I was not surprised . I knew he was a friend to us. Also after five years as Consul in Manitoba I can say that nowhere have I experienced such warmth and hospitality. You certainly are "friendly Manitoba."
Tammy Axelsson, the mayor of Gimli, has the welcome mat out. Her town is the Icelandic capital of Manitoba and, she points out to possible immigrants, an easy commute to Winnipeg.
Birgir Robertsson, a baker, wants to emigrate to Gimli and run a bakery. He spent 12 days there and in Winnipeg last month, looking at possibilities. "I got interested in moving to Canada before the banks collapsed last fall," Robertsson recalls. "Gimli is the town of my dreams and hopefully I can start working there in the very near future."
Asmundsson said Labour Minister Nancy Allan and Education Minister Peter Bjornson -- one of those thousands of Manitoba with Icelandic blood -- contacted him in November regarding the possibility of skilled labour from Iceland coming to Manitoba. "Now we have decided to work together on this matter," Asmundsson said. "I think this might benefit us both. People in Manitoba should know that every Icelander knows about Winnipeg and Gimli. Icelanders have always been very fond of Manitoba and every year hundreds of Icelanders visit this wonderful province. We really appreciate your friendship."
Iceland's Minister of Social Affairs, Asta R. Johannesdottir, said her ministry, The Icelandic Directorate of Labour, the Embassy of Canada in Iceland and Asmundsson, have received hundreds of enquiries regarding work opportunities in Manitoba since the economic crisis hit Iceland last fall. In the beginning of March, Allan and Johannesdottir signed a memorandum of understanding which creates work opportunities for Icelanders in Manitoba. "This ... commits our governments to working together to allow unemployed Icelandic workers who meet the skilled labour shortage needs of Manitoba to take advantage of labour market opportunities in our province," Allan said after the signing in the Culture House in Reykjavik.
As in 1875, the next Icelandic wave is just what the doctor ordered for Manitoba. Then, the province needed hardy pioneers who would not shrink from cruel weather or hard work. That's who arrived from Iceland. Now, the province needs skilled and educated workers. Once again, that's what Iceland has on offer.
A sign of the newest Icelandic wave in Manitoba rose just after the collapse of the Icelandic banks last fall, when an architectural firm in Manitoba made it known in Iceland that it wanted to hire Icelandic architects. Two of three partners of Batteriid Ltd., a conculting architectural firm, responded and went to Manitoba in December. They travelled to Manitoba again in January along with an engineer from the engineering firm Almenna Verkfraedistofan Ltd. for further discussions and are planning the third trip soon.
Batteriid is one of the fifth largest architectural consultant firm in Iceland, according to partner Jon Olafur Olafsson. He says that they have visited and been in touch with about 10 architectural consultant firms in Winnipeg in the hope of landing an agreement on a contract. Olafsson adds that the hospitality is the main reason for their emphasis on Manitoba. "The friendship there does not go unnoticed and obviously Iceland and Icelanders are highly thought of in the province. We have not experienced such an atmosphere elsewhere."
Olafsson said Batteriid aims to keep working in Iceland although they might get contracts in Winnipeg. "That is what we are aiming at but if needed we are ready to stay and work in Manitoba for a shorter or longer period of time."
Other Icelandic architectural consultant firms have thought of getting contracts in Canada but Olafsson has advised them to wait and see what happens to Batteriid. "There is no certainty that we will get a contract and it is not wise for other companies to jump on the same market until we have a contract. It makes no sense for many to fight over small bites of the cake," he said. "That would only create competition between Icelandic firms abroad and that does not help anybody as the situation is now."
Olafsson said Batteriid is not going into the Manitoba market on its own but rather hoping to get projects in association with companies in Manitoba. "Things look promising in Manitoba and hopefully we can be part of the development as a joint venture," he says.
Almenna Consulting Engineers (Almenna verkfrædistofan Ltd.) is a well established Icelandic engineering firm and has been involved in some of the largest projects undertaken in Iceland. Egill Vidarsson, Civil Engineer of Almenna, a partner and acting Managing Director, went with the architects to Manitoba in January. He said that his purpose was to find out if a collaboration between Almenna and Canadian consulting engineers firms in Manitoba was possible.
Vidarsson points out that Almenna has employees from Canada, as well as those who have studied and worked in Canada. "The market in Canada is huge and I believe that we should concentrate on it rather than the market in Scandinavia," he says. Having said that, he adds he does not know of any other interested Icelandic engineering firms getting into the Canadian market. "I have received one response from Winnipeg regarding a possibility of a collaboration of a project where we would provide three or four men for two and a half months. Nothing has though been decided."
Kjartan Sigurdsson, manager of the the Icelandic construction company Byggjandi Ltd., and his partner Gudmundur Karl Karlsson toured Calgary, Edmonton, Gimli and Winnipeg in December looking for jobs. "We were in a good gear when everything collapsed and all of a sudden the future looked dark in Iceland," Sigurdsson says. Asked why they went to Canada he replied: "I've always been fond of Canada and went there when the opportunity arose."
Sigurdsson says that he prefers to work in Canada rather than in Europe and is certain that his skills in construction will be useful in Manitoba. "During our visit we met many in the construction business and eventually agreed to an offer, given that we fulfill all requirements. That is now going through the system and hopefully four of us will be working in Winnipeg soon. After a few months we can look at our position and I have the feeling that we'll emigrate with our families to Manitoba if the possibility arises."
All the Icelanders who checked out Manitoba were full of praise for Asmundsson and Neil Bardal, the former consul of Iceland in the province. They all have the same story to tell: Asmundsson organizes the trip and arranges for interviews and Bardal takes them there. "We are not used to being treated like kings but now we know how that is," Sigurdur Hardarson, partner of Batteriid said.

"If there is one thing I could take away from my previous relationships, it would be to search for a beautiful heart, not necessarily a beautiful face. Beautiful people are not always good, but good people are always beautiful. There is nothing more beautiful than an intelligent, hard-working, independent, respectful man. It's hard to say you deserve better when you, ladies, are in control of what you deserve."

"Needing people yet being afraid of them is wearing me out. I struggle with the paradox all the time and can't resolve it. When people visit I am distraught trying to look as if I can cope. At work I never speak but I want to be spoken to. If anyone does I get anxious and stammer. I'm scared of the phone yet I want it to ring."

We're calling it Sunlight Live and it's going to bring together live blogging by our policy experts, Twitter conversations from across the country and relevant facts on congressional members in attendance at the Summit. Some of the things you can expect to see displayed on Sunlight Live as the politicians debate are campaign contributions that the person speaking has received, their connections to lobbyists and industry, personal finances, and key votes that the leaders have made on health care in the past.
We'll also be coming up with new ideas throughout the day. We won't know everything we'll want to do until we hear what our leaders have to say.
The idea behind this is that we want to provide a greater understanding of why the elected officials have staked out their positions on health care, and let the data do more of the the talking.
We're going to be going from the Summit's beginning at 10:00 a.m. to whenever it ends (perhaps as late as 6:00 p.m.)

Islam's Qur'an, in Sura 2 verse 256 says this: "There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong." If Muslims truly believe that the Qur'an is the word of Allah, then it seems clear they would live out what that simple verse says and not force people to convert to Islam or punish people when they leave that religion.
But yet, that is exactly not what the theocratic government of Iran is doing in its attempt to murder Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani for his renouncement of Islam and his acceptance of Christianity. CNN recently had an interesting article on the debate between Islamic scholars over the situation, but in the end, it seemed most agreed that Iran is wrong in its stance on Pastor Youcef. An exposition of the Qur'an's verse 256 sides with Youcef too.
Continue to pray for Pastor Youcef's release and for the safety of him and his family.

text: This excerpt taken from the AN 10-K filed Feb 17, 2010. 18. BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS We own and operate franchised automotive stores in the United States pursuant to franchise agreements with vehicle manufacturers. In 2009, approximately 47% of our new vehicle revenue was generated by our stores in California and Florida. Franchise agreements generally provide the manufacturers or distributors with considerable influence over the operations of the store. The success of any franchised automotive dealership is dependent, to a large extent, on the financial condition, management, marketing, production, and distribution capabilities of the vehicle manufacturers or distributors of which we hold franchises. We had receivables from manufacturers or distributors of $103.4 million at December 31, 2009, and $103.5 million at December 31, 2008. Additionally, a large portion of our Contracts-in-Transit included in Receivables, net, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, are due from automotive manufacturers captive finance subsidiaries which provide financing directly to our new and used vehicle customers. We purchase substantially all of our new vehicles from various manufacturers or distributors at the prevailing prices available to all franchised dealers. Additionally, we finance our new vehicle inventory primarily with automotive manufacturers captive finance subsidiaries. Our sales volume could be adversely impacted by the manufacturers or distributors inability to supply the stores with an adequate supply of vehicles and related financing. We are subject to a concentration of risk in the event of financial distress of a major vehicle manufacturer. The core brands of vehicles that we sell are manufactured by Toyota, Ford, Honda, Nissan, General Motors, Mercedes, BMW, and Chrysler. These manufacturers have been adversely impacted by the unfavorable economic conditions in the United States and elsewhere. On April 30, 2009, Chrysler and several of its affiliates filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code). In connection with the bankruptcy, Chrysler filed, and the bankruptcy court approved, a dealer consolidation plan to close approximately 789 dealerships, including seven of our Chrysler dealerships. The bankruptcy court also approved the sale of certain Chrysler assets to a new company, Chrysler Group LLC, that will operate the reorganized Chrysler business. On June 10, 2009, Chrysler completed the sale, and under the terms approved by the bankruptcy court, the autoworkers union retirement health care trust received approximately 55% of the equity in the new company, Fiat approximately 20% (Fiats 83 Table of ContentsAUTONATION, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) equity interest will increase in increments by up to a total of 35% in the event that certain milestones are achieved), the U.S. Treasury approximately 8%, and the government of Canada approximately 2%. Chrysler Group LLC assumed our remaining Chrysler franchise agreements under which we will continue to operate our remaining Chrysler dealerships that were not terminated in the bankruptcy. As of December 31, 2009, we had nine Chrysler dealerships. On June 1, 2009, General Motors and several of its affiliates also filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. In connection with the bankruptcy, we entered into wind-down agreements with General Motors pursuant to which we agreed to close four of our dealerships by October 2010 in exchange for certain wind-down payments. At the same time, we entered into participation agreements under which our remaining General Motors dealerships will continue to operate as franchisees of the new General Motors formed as a result of the bankruptcy. Certain of our dealerships with multiple General Motors franchises entered into a participation agreement as to certain franchises and a wind-down agreement as to other franchises (such as Pontiac, which General Motors is discontinuing as part of the bankruptcy). On July 5, 2009, the bankruptcy court approved General Motors plan to sell certain assets to a new company, General Motors Company, that will operate the reorganized General Motors business, and, on July 10, 2009, General Motors completed the sale. Under the terms approved by the bankruptcy court, the U.S. Treasury received approximately 61% of the equity in the new company, the autoworkers union retirement health care trust approximately 17%, the governments of Canada and Ontario approximately 12%, and the old General Motors bondholders approximately 10%. During the third quarter of 2009, we closed all four General Motors dealerships referenced above. As of December 31, 2009, we had 36 General Motors dealerships. Our business could be materially adversely impacted by another bankruptcy of a major vehicle manufacturer or related lender. For example, (i) a manufacturer in bankruptcy could attempt to terminate all or certain of our franchises, in which case we may not receive adequate compensation for our franchises, (ii) such lender could attempt to terminate our floorplan financing and demand repayment of any amounts outstanding, (iii) consumer demand for such manufacturers products could be materially adversely affected, (iv) we may be unable to arrange financing for our customers for their vehicle purchases and leases through such lender, in which case we would be required to seek financing with alternate financing sources, which may be difficult to obtain on similar terms, if at all, (v) we may be unable to collect some or all of our significant receivables that are due from such manufacturer or lender, and we may be subject to preference claims relating to payments made by such manufacturer or lender prior to bankruptcy, and (vi) such manufacturer may be relieved of its indemnification obligations with respect to product liability claims. Additionally, any such bankruptcy may result in us being required to incur impairment charges with respect to the inventory, fixed assets, and intangible assets related to certain franchises, which could adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition, and our ability to remain in compliance with the financial ratios contained in our debt agreements. Tens of billions of dollars of U.S. government support were provided to Chrysler, General Motors, and GMAC, and we believe that this support mitigated the potential adverse impacts to us resulting from the Chrysler and General Motors bankruptcies. There can be no assurance that U.S. government support will be provided to the same extent or at all in the event of another bankruptcy of a major vehicle manufacturer or related lender. As a result, the potential adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations could be relatively worse in a manufacturer or related lender bankruptcy which is not financially supported by the U.S. government. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to non-manufacturer trade receivables are limited due to the wide variety of customers and markets in which our products are sold as well as their dispersion across many different geographic areas in the United States. Consequently, at December 31, 2009, we do not consider AutoNation to have any significant non-manufacturer concentrations of credit risk. |

It is not about gay marriage for me. I do not like the fact that one judge can overturn the vote of thousands of people. Where is the democracy in that?
The same things had to occur when handling the civil rights of african americans. We do not nor have we ever lived in a total democracy. It is actually a republic.
"A republic and a democracy are identical in every aspect except one. In a republic the sovereignty is in each individual person. In a democracy the sovereignty is in the group.
In a republic the group only has advisory powers; the sovereign individual is free to reject the majority group-think.
In a pure democracy, 51% beats 49%. In other words, the minority has no rights. The minority only has those privileges granted by the dictatorship of the majority."

Shares of GMX Resources, an Oklahoma City energy company, dipped 13.6 percent last week to land at 55 cents. While the percentage point decline looks big, the shares fell just 9 cents.
That low price prompted shareholders to recently approve a reverse stock split that could range from 1-for-5 to 1-for-13. Such a split would boost the price of each share, although the value apportioned to each shareholder would remain essentially stable.
Directors are expected to determine the details of the reverse split by the end of January.
Shareholders likely will be gratified just to see the price rise — even artificially — out of the realm of penny stocks.
