Michigan ranks 3rd in national study of high-tech job growth
A recent report by California-based high-tech industry group Engine Advocacy ranked Michigan third in the nation for high tech job growth in 2010-11.
The report showed Michigan's 6.9 percent growth in high-tech employment comfortably beating the national average of 2.6 percent.
Melanie Maxwell | AnnArbor.com
Much of Michigan's growth numbers came from the Lansing metropolitan area as well as the Detroit suburbs of Warren, Troy, and Farmington Hills. Lansing was the sixth fastest growing metropolitan area for high-tech jobs with impressive 17.6 percent growth for the year.
The Warren, Troy, Farmington Hills area also was listed as a Top-25 metro area nationally with 13 percent growth.
Washtenaw County grew at a slower rate, only adding high-tech jobs by approximately 0.2 percent during the course of the year. However, the county has the second-highest level of high-tech employment in the state with 9.7 percent of the county's jobs coming in the high-tech sector.
That's second only to Oakland County where 11 percent of jobs are high-tech. Both counties are far above Michigan's 5 percent and the national average of 5.6 percent of jobs that are in high-tech fields.
The average wage for a high-tech job in Michigan is $82,960 according to the study, completed by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute. The national average for jobs in the category is $95,832.
For cities like Ann Arbor or Ypsilanti with major state-funded universities, the real percentage of employees in the high-tech sector could be even higher. The percentages used in the study only examined private-sector workforce and did not include researchers working in university laboratories.

[Three Cents Worth NY #187] Manhattan Mortgage Rates Are Listing
Posted by Jonathan J. Miller -Tuesday, April 24, 2012, 11:11 PM
Comments Off
It's time to share my Three Cents Worth on Curbed NY, at the intersection of neighborhood and real estate in the capitol of the world. And I'm simply here to take measurements.
Read today's 3CW post on Curbed New York:
By far the three most popular observations about the Manhattan housing market to date in 2012 are: "mortgage rates are at historic lows" and "listing inventory is tight" and…ok, there are just two that are worthy.
I thought I'd mash them together and see what happened since I've never made the direct association. Admittedly I was surprised with the visual that resulted….

In the distant future, AD 6582 Professor Kato Maun transcribes an ancient writing on an archaeology find that sets off a search for an unknown lost civilization somewhere in the ancient past. With the help of a beautiful, mysterious, intelligence agent known only as Lavina, Kato journeys back through time to the edge of the fire barrier, which is the beginning of their history. The lost civilization surely must lie beyond the fire barrier which Kato must break through to make the discovery. It's assumed that the lost civilization was destroyed by fire in AD 2020. In seeking the past Kato also discovers many truths about the future and the peril that lies there.

We had to cut quite a few stellar moments from Krista Tippett's conversation with theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss for the radio show and podcast. He's a devoted atheist who has some provocative things to say about religion, the Higgs field, our country's literacy about science and how it should be talked about in the same way as we discuss film or the arts.
Our unedited interview with him allows for the fullest listening, and it's definitely worth your time.
~Trent Gilliss, senior editor
We get a fair number of people asking us to include more overt atheists in our weekly public radio program and podcast. If you're one of those listeners, this week's conversation with theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss will be right up your alley.
He's an energetic, witty thinker in the New Atheist movement who takes aim — fairly or unfairly — at religious believers. But, more importantly, his way of thinking about science as an integral part of our cultural formation and how many of us are let off the hook all-too-easily when we don't know basic scientific principles.
His latest book is A Universe from Nothing: Why There is Something Rather than Nothing. And if you're at all a sci-fi fan, then The Physics of Star Trek is a great read for you.

Mathematics, Purpose, and Truth: The World Feels More Spacious
by Krista Tippett, host
I picked up Janna Levin's novel off a table at a bookstore, drawn to it initially perhaps because we had just completed our show with Paul Collins and Jennifer Elder on autism. Mathematician Alan Turing — known as the father of modern computing — is one of the autistic personalities who was mentioned in that interview. I was immediately taken by Janna Levin's lush prose and the alluring, provocative ideas that she brings to life through human stories in space and time.
A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines sounds depths I had never considered before, between mathematical truths and great existential questions. It does so by probing the parallel lives and ideas of Turing and another pivotal 20th-century mathematician, Kurt Gödel. Turing's discoveries were made possible in part by Gödel, who shook the worlds of mathematics, philosophy, and logic in 1931 with his "incompleteness theorems." They demonstrated that some mathematical truths can never be proven. Or, as Gödel says in Janna Levin's novel, "Mathematics is perfect. But it is not complete. To see some truths you must stand outside and look in." This held unsettling scientific and human implications; it posited hard limits to what we can ever logically, definitively know.
Janna Levin is an atheist, if we care to categorize her. And while that simple fact informs our conversation along with her exquisite intelligence and her mathematical training, we cover territory that can't be bounded by such definitions. Janna Levin's most certain "faith" is in the conviction that we can agree on basic realities described by mathematics — that 1 plus 1 will always equal 2. Putting God into that equation, or barring God from it, is not her concern. Yet this conversation is a beautiful example of the deep complementarity of religious and scientific questions, if not of answers. The ideas and questions Janna Levin lives and breathes open my mind to new ways of wondering about purpose, meaning, and ultimate reality.
There is much in her thought that I struggle to comprehend and will continue to ponder. I'm intrigued, at the same time, by echoes with the wisdom of ordinary life. Gödel's idea that there are some truths we can only see at an angle — by standing outside, looking in — is a fact even in the work I do, of speaking of faith. The deepest truths are usually impossible to see and articulate straight on.
And I feel a kindred pull to Janna Levin's delight and passion in the great narrative of the world and humanity, epitomized in these lines from her book that we read in the show:
"I am looking on benches and streets, in logic and code. I am looking in the form of truth stripped to the bone. Truth that lives independently of us, that exists out there in the world. Hard and unsentimental. I am ready to accept truth no matter how alarming it turns out to be. Even if it proves incompleteness and the limits of human reason. Even if it proves we are not free."
Of all the ideas Janna Levin presents, the most provocative and disturbing, perhaps, is her doubt that there is free will in human existence at all. She cannot be sure that we are not utterly determined by brilliant principles of physics and biology. Yet she cleaves more fiercely in the face of this belief to the reality of her love of her children and her hopes and dreams for them. She sees "evidence of our purpose" in figures like Gödel and Turing, even though they did not the find the clarity in life that they wrested from mathematics on all our behalf.
Paradoxically, perhaps, the world feels more spacious to me after this conversation with Janna Levin — even, to use her words, if it suggests incompleteness and the limits of human reason and faith; even if it suggests we are not free. She possesses a quality that keeps me interviewing scientists as often as a I can — a delight in beauty, a comfort with mystery, a limitless ambition for one's grandest ideas combined with a humility about them that many religious people could learn from.
Black Holes and the Sonic Song of the Universe
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
As Gordon Hempton points out, silence isn't necessarily an absence of sound but a presence all its own. And, in much the same way, physicist Janna Levin says, space isn't necessarily quiet either. Working at her lab at Columbia University, she projects that the universe creates an aural footprint that "will be music to our ears because it will be the quiet echo of that moment of our creation of our observable universe." If we can only pick it up…
In this presentation at TED 2011, she plays her projections of the sounds the universe makes — black holes merging and falling into one another, the "white noise of the Big Bang. It'll make you wonder about the biggest questions at the core of what it means to be a sentient being in this universe or the next.
Symbols of Power: Adinkras and the Nature of Reality
by S. James Gates
Physicists have long sought to describe the universe in terms of equations. Now, James Gates explains how research on a class of geometric symbols known as adinkras could lead to fresh insights into the theory of supersymmetry — and perhaps even the very nature of reality.
Complex ideas, complex shapes Adinkras — geometric objects that encode mathematical relationships between supersymmetric particles — are named after symbols that represent wise sayings in West African culture. This adinkra is called "nea onnim no sua a, ohu," which translates as "he who does not know can become knowledgeable through learning."
In the land of theoretical physics, equations have always been king. Indeed, it would probably be fair to caricature theoretical physicists as members of a company called "Equations-R-Us", since we tend to view new equations as markers of progress.
The modern era of equation prediction began with Maxwell in 1861, continued through the development of Einstein's equations of general relativity in 1916, and reached its first peak in the 1920s with the Schrödinger and Dirac equations. Then a second, postwar surge saw the development of equations describing the strong force and the electroweak force, culminating in the creation of the Standard Model of particle physics in about 1973. The equations trend continues today, with the ongoing struggle to create comprehensive equations to describe superstring theory. This effort — which aims to incorporate the force of gravity into physical models in a way that the Standard Model does not — marks the extant boundary of a long tradition.
Yet equations are not the only story. To an extent, geometrical representations of physical theories have also been useful when correctly applied. The most famous incorrect geometrical representation in physics is probably Johannes Kepler's model of planetary orbits; initially, Kepler believed the orbits could be described by five regular polygons successively embedded within each other, but he abandoned this proposition when more accurate data became available.
A less well known but much more successful example of geometry applied to physics is Murray Gell-Mann's "eightfold way", which is a means of organizing subatomic particles. This organization has an underlying explanation using triangles with quarks located at the vertices.
For the past five years, I and a group of my colleagues (including Charles Doran, Michael Faux, Tristan Hubsch, Kevin Iga, Greg Landweber and others) have been following the geometric-physics path pioneered by Kepler and Gell-Mann. The geometric objects that interest us are not triangles or octagons, but more complicated figures known as "adinkras", a name Faux suggested.
The word "adinkra" is of West African etymology, and it originally referred to visual symbols created by the Akan people of Ghana and the Gyamen of Côte d'Ivoire to represent concepts or aphorisms. However, the mathematical adinkras we study are really only linked to those African symbols by name. Even so, it must be acknowledged that, like their forebears, mathematical adinkras also represent concepts that are difficult to express in words. Most intriguingly, they may even contain hints of something more profound — including the idea that our universe could be a computer simulation, as in the Matrix films.
Imagination Is More Important Than Knowledge
by Krista Tippett, host
I interviewed James Gates once before, a few years ago, when we were creating our show on Einstein's ethics. We talked then about Einstein's little-remembered passion for racial equality. James Gates spent part of his childhood in segregated schools — experiences he does not take for granted now that he is a preeminent, African-American physicist. But what I was so taken by in that conversation years ago was how he explained Einstein's social activism in terms of the values and virtues of scientific pursuit. He spoke of empathy as a potential byproduct of the process of discovery. A scientist's "What if…" questions can evolve into human "What if…" questions.
James Gates' capacity to share both from his humanity and his life in science strikes me again, and comes through even more forcefully during our more recent conversation in "Uncovering the Codes for Reality." This time, I spoke with him about his particular passions. He is a string theorist, with a special emphasis on supersymmetry — a quality in the universe which, if demonstrated, might help support string theory as a way to reconcile the greatest puzzle modern physics has tried to solve since Einstein. Simply put, the universe seems to follow different rules at the highest and the smallest levels of reality. String theory imagines that deeper than atoms, deeper than electrons, behind quarks, all of reality is brought into being by filaments of energy. These "strings" might span the whole of reality, and possibly explain why gravity behaves so differently from varying vantage points. Some leading string theorists posit that there are at least eleven dimensions — far more than the three or four dimensions we are equipped to experience.
That is about how far I comprehend the idea behind string theory. The lovely thing about a conversation with James Gates is that my incomprehension does not matter. He gives me much to chew on, and be enriched by.
For starters, he is just the latest voice — others include the astrophysicist Mario Livio, and the astronomers Guy Consolmagno and George Coyne — to let me in to the secrets and power of science's language of mathematics. He calls mathematics a kind of sixth sense — an organ of "extrasensory perception" — for scientists. By way of mathematics, scientists perceived and described the atom years before microscopes sophisticated enough to view them could be invented. Now, with mathematics, he and his colleagues are tracing clues and cosmic hints that may never be provable with our five senses — but that may shift our very sense of the nature of reality.
One of the things James Gates and some of his colleagues have "seen," for example, are underlying codes embedded in the cosmos — error-correcting codes, like those that drive computer programs. (Full disclosure: he's a fan of The Matrix — so am I — and we hear a little bit of that iconic movie in our one-hour podcast.) This is just one of many observations he makes that raises questions, he says, that physics alone can neither answer nor probe.
He is also working on an interesting frontier of expanding science's own imagination about mathematical equations in describing reality. He and his colleagues have recently employed something called adinkras, visual symbols that may be able to unlock truths that equations alone cannot capture, just as there are truths that only poetry can convey.
There's also a lot of fodder for one of my fascinations with the realm of science — the creative, playful, even spiritual act of naming things, especially in physics: beauty quarks and anti-beauty quarks, sizzling black holes, and superstrings, for example. The term adinkras, which comes from West Africa tradition and connotes pictures having hidden meaning, carries on this tradition.
James Gates' own delight is infectious and illuminating, as much when he is letting us in on mysteries of the cosmos as when he shares the human lessons of his life in science. I'll leave you with this, for example, as an enticement. When I asked him what he thought of Einstein's statement that "imagination is more important than knowledge," he said he had puzzled over this for many years:
"For a long time in my life, imagination was the world of play. It was reading about astronauts, and monsters, and traveling in galaxies, all of that kind of stuff, invaders from outer space on earth. That was all in the world of the imagination. On the other hand, reality is all about us. And it's constraining, and it can be painful. But the knowledge we gain is critical for our species to survive.
So how could it be that play is more important than knowledge? It took me years to figure out an answer. And the answer turns out [to be] rather strange… Imagination is more important than knowledge because imagination turns out to be the vehicle by which we increase knowledge. And so, if you don't have imagination, you're not going to get more knowledgeable."
Superstring Theory as a Unifier for the Laws of Physics
by Susan Leem, associate producer
Albert Einstein spent the latter part of his life pursuing a "single, all encompassing theory of the universe" to describe all of nature's forces. Brian Greene, who is probably best-known for his NOVA specials, is on this path this path of discovery. He says that achieving this may require a whole new way of looking at the world around us.
A professor of mathematics and physics at Columbia University, Greene explains string theory, the concept that minuscule filaments of energy vibrating in 11 dimensions, tucked into the fabric of space, "create every particle and force in the universe." String theory fills in the gaps of Newtonian physics, especially in regards to how gravity works.
Einstein's Unification Theory depends on the existence of extra dimensions, which contain these filaments. Don't miss this peek into the "ultramicroscopic landscape" of our reality — and our upcoming show with string theorist S. James Gates!
If you dig this photo, you'll really dig our upcoming show with string theorist S. James Gates who talks about supersymmetry, adinkras, and error-correcting codes that he likens to the underlying DNA of the cosmos.

String Theorist S. James Gates: A Twitterscript
by Susan Leem, associate producer
S. James Gates is known for pioneering supersymmetry, a theory that could "explain some of the greatest mysteries of the universe, such as how elementary particles got their mass." There's actually a symmetry between these two fundamental entities that compose the universe, invisible partners with names like selectrons (partner of electrons) and photinos (partner of photons). Gates shares with us a scientist's rich, connected way of looking at the universe, "where we become essential to the universe."
We live-tweeted highlights of this 90-minute conversation and have aggregated them below for those who weren't able to follow along. Look for our show with him in the coming weeks, and follow us next time at @BeingTweets.

Quarks and Creation: On the Complementary Nature of Science and Religion
by Krista Tippett, host
I first heard John Polkinghorne's voice on the BBC in the late 1980s, at a time when I lived in England. Late one night, he presented a riveting radio essay. It couldn't have lasted more than five or ten minutes, but it had a tremendous, lasting effect on me.
Polkinghorne spoke about reason and faith, science and prayer — subjects I was pondering deeply at that point, after a good decade in which I had dismissed religion and religious sentiments out of hand. He described connections between quantum physics and theology in inviting, commonsense terms. He applied chaos theory to make prayer sound intellectually intriguing. I was thrilled when I was able, in 2005, to talk with John Polkinghorne about the ideas he inspired in me 15 years ago and about many related questions I have accumulated since.
Just as I found myself speaking with him, of course, the centuries-old debate between science and religion — in particular the flashpoint of evolution versus creation — was taking on renewed energy in American culture. And even as that debate receded from the limelight, figures like Richard Dawkins popularized the thesis that scientific reason and religious faith are incompatible and at odds. But ironically, in this same historical moment, a lively, deepening international dialogue between scientists and religious thinkers has expanded its reach across the rift that developed after Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species in 1859. John Polkinghorne is a leading figure in that development.
Most striking, however, is how John Polkinghorne's perspective simply transcends the parameters and arguments that drive our cultural controversies.
Polkinghorne takes the Genesis stories, the biblical accounts of creation, seriously. But he points out that these are lyrical, theological writings. They were not composed as scientific texts. The early Christians, he says, knew this, and only in the later Medieval and Reformation times did people begin to insist on literal interpretation. To read a work of poetry as a work of prose, he analogizes, is to miss the point.

Drawing on the best of his scientific and theological knowledge, Polkinghorne believes that God created this universe. But this was not a one-act invention of a clockwork world. God did something "more clever": he created a world with independence, a world able to make itself. Creation is an ongoing act, Polkinghorne believes, one in which the laws of nature make room for choice and action, both human and divine. He finds this idea beautifully affirmed by the best insights of chaos theory, which describes reality as an interplay between order and disorder, between random possibilities and patterned structure.
I'll let you hear for yourself how he approaches mysteries like prayer, and the problem of suffering, in this frame of mind. I'll leave you with two evocative notions from our interview.
First, modern science increasingly suggests that contradictory explanations of reality can be simultaneously true. A scientific puzzle of whether light is a particle or a wave was resolved with the discovery that light has a dual nature as both a particle and a wave. And here's the key that made that discovery possible: how we ask the questions affects the answers we arrive at. Light appears as a wave if you ask it "a wave-like question" and it appears as a particle if you ask it "a particle-like question."
Second, there is the matter of quarks. Modern quantum physics has come to depend on quarks as a foundational element in understanding the way the world works. But in a very real sense, quarks are an article of faith. No scientist has actually seen one, nor do scientists necessarily ever expect to. They are believed to exist because the idea of quarks gives intelligibility to the whole of observable reality.
These scientific notions give me new, creative ways to imagine the credibility of religious modes of thought. They underscore John Polkinghorne's personable and passionate message that we need the insights of science and religion together to "interpret and understand the rich, varied, and surprising way the world actually is."

I drove to my office this morning listening to a sermon on a local Christian radio station (i'm an inspiration junkie). The preacher was talking about Doubting Thomas – one of my most favorite characters from the bible – favorite 'cause I've got my own level of Doubting Mee going on from time to time. Not unlike Thomas I too have lived and experienced miracles – everyday miracles like the birth of my children, reclaiming my health with real food i.e. GODS food, listening to the sound of the ocean is a miracle – and yet I still can find myself doubting the magic of life, and the possibilities that a human life is presented.
Doubting Thomas walked with Christ and witnessed first hand the miracles and he too found himself doubting, each time he doubted he separated from his faith. I notice that my doubt grows when I isolate – and I can isolate.
January 25th through February 12th my house was full of "My People" as three rounds of house guests rolled through my house – back to back. Lastly was my sister who showed up with her sleeves pushed up and ready to rock. She stepped into my kitchen and got her COOK on, cleaning and taking care of my girls like no one else could. I slipped into a comfy spot with her and once she left I had a hard time getting back in the game. Dang, running a house hold, working & keeping up with life should NEVER be done the way we do it here in this country – isolated. I KNOW we were meant to live in female communities much like biblical times ( read The Red Tent) and Meso-American cultures.
Once all of "my people" left I got caught in the inner world of Mee and found it harder and harder to reach outside of myself. February in particular is a tricky month, regardless of where one lives, our human bodies are in sync with the solstice and winter is a time to spend indoors, processing & cooking thick rich Stews & soups, dreaming up our next incarnation.
I've spent Feb.'s in the jungle, in the Ohio Tundra, NYC winters, deep south freezes and now on the Malibu coast – each February I find myself in the depths of a rabbit hole – craving the next, pushing through the winter soil of myself yearning to bust a bright bulb above ground.
So here I am heading into Spring, gearing up for the next….
My next is a big one, I've been away from PKIA building a new website which will bloom in sync with the Tulips – my most favorite flower. This website comes after a bit of break up with my alter ego Princess Know It All. You see I returned from Nashville in January feeling the need to shed my skin and head in a new direction. I told Lee one afternoon, "Lee I feel like I'm breaking up with PKIA." His response, "Are you kidding me? You are just getting started." "Nope, watch life is going to take me somewhere else."
A week later I had a few meetings regarding PKIA and sho'nuff a new direction for PKIA and myself came rolling down the red carpet. I can't give too many details as I'm now in development with Princess Know It All, but energetically I feel liberated – like I did it, I built her as big as I could and it's time for me to give her a name and send her off to school, don't worry I'm not turning my back on her it's just time for her to take an even bigger life on- after all I'm NOT Princess Know It All – I'm Mee Tracy McCormick and I can stand on my own two feet as she no longer needs my teat. I've gotten clear about where I want my focus to roll and it's all about A Real Food Life and building a community that shares the same faith as I do when it comes to food.
Last week I held a Noble Food Makeover here in Malibu and it was proof that I'm heading in the right direction as we truly created A Community Kitchen.
I was totally blown away by the attendance of so many people – here in Malibu I actually have to roll folks to a waiting list as our Community Kitchen fills up within a day of announcing the class. More than half of the folks that attended this time are parents from the girls school and they are TOTALLY 100% on board for the school food program – which I am beginning next week. Yep I'm GOING IN!
At one point I got quiet, listening to the room - people chopping, stirring, giggling, connecting and sharing secrets. A tear rolled down my cheek as I remembered those lonely days of sitting at a table by myself in Nashville eating to save my life – they are over – I now have community in Nashville & Malibu and a platform to reach into the world so that NO one suffers alone left in isolation feeding their minds doubt.
I invite you to Come with me on this next journey, I'm no longer thinking about the final destination but the magic of the road ahead of me. 'Cause one thing I do know is it's fixn' to be a big adventure!

I ordered this jacket as a reference for a custom order.
Shaul is outstanding! The tons of questions I had have all been addressed as I finalized by custom.
The G-1 is fantastic quality all round.

Peace to all!
THANKS SHAUL! (Posted on 1/4/11) - Just received it... Review by Mike S.
- and have to admit it is the most expensive piece of apparel that I have ever bought but I really like it, just need the weather to cooperate, went from the 20's to the 60's the day after I received it. I ordered a size larger than my normal size and it fit perfect, almost wish I had asked for a custom one with USMC instead of the USN stamped in. Thanks. (Posted on 12/17/10)
- Outstanding Review by MM2
- Bought this jacket about a month ago and it is truly amazing. I have never seen such quality and I was very impressed with it. The stitching is strong and the leather is outstanding. Very pleased with this jacket. (Posted on 11/21/10)
- Just wonderful!!! Review by maverick.2501
Two years ago i bought this wonderful jacket!!!
Good leather and good smell (very important too, for me). I turned into Top Gun adding patches but It was a shame because it's beautiful without patches too. So I bought another G-1 (and B3, MA-1 and B-15) and so I'm a happy man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Massimo I. from Italy (Gela (CL), Sicily) (Posted on 11/6/10) - Better with age Review by Richard C.
I bought my jacket 1 year ago, I wore it all winter ( and then some) .Massachusetts winters can hang around a while. This jacket is my "go-to" and should you decide to order one you will not be disappointed. The quality of the product is matched by the quality of the people at
U.S Authentic, it is all good. I was being a bit picky about my order , but Dover took it all in stride and delivered , Thank You U.S Authentic... (Posted on 11/1/10) - I love these jackets Review by Chris Chebret (January 2007)
- I just wanted to drop a line and let you know I received my jacket. It looks great and fits perfect. This is the second jacket I have purchased from you. I ordered an A-2 from you last year and I loved it so much I ordered one for home and the other for work. I purchased the G-1 from you this year and it fits great while I'm in the helicopter at work. Just wanted to praise your work. I love the smell of good quality leather. (Posted on 8/2/10)
- Workmanship is superb! Review by H. H. Sullivan (August 2009)
Please pass on to your craftsmen that I am completely satisfied with my G1 flight jacket. The workmanship is superb! I can, and will without hesitation, recommend US Authentic Mfg. to my friends.
Thank you from a satisfied customer. (Posted on 7/28/10)

When Sheamus fulfilled his dream of becoming a top flight WWE superstar, little did he realize that one day he would be seated in the captain's chair of the multi-million dollar USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier because of it.
"That's something very few people in this world will ever do," Sheamus said. "I never thought I would get an experience like that. It was an unbelievable experience that I'll never forget."
Sheamus along with many other WWE superstars, divas and associates spent a recent weekend visiting U.S. sailors based in the Norfolk and Hampton Roads area of Virginia during "WWE's Tribute To The Troops," a holiday tradition to thank U.S. service men and women for their commitment to the country and recognition of their sacrifices.
It marked the third time Sheamus participated in the worthwhile annual event.
"When I went to do my first Tribute To The Troops show in the United States in Dallas, Texas [at Fort Hood in 2010], I couldn't believe it. I was blown away," Sheamus said. "When I got to meet the military people up close and personal, I got to find out how much they sacrificed their lives to keep the country free. They're away from their families for months on end. I was hooked right away. I just really knew how important this troops' show was. Getting to meet the families, the kids, the wives and the husbands and getting to give back a little to them through autograph sessions, meet-n-greets and letting them know how important they are to this country."
WWE joined forces with the USA Network, NBC and Slim Jim to honor them including meet-n-greets, dodgeball and volleyball with them and their kids, a WWE show and more.
"Previous years, the superstars went to meet the troops overseas, and that was great, but now we get a chance to meet the troops – the Marines, the Navy, the Air Force, the Army – in the [United States], and they can bring their families. So it's a family affair for all the troops, and I think that's even better now because they can share it with their loved ones."
Naval Station Norfolk is the crown jewel of the United States Navy, and WWE also visited Naval Station Little Creek and Naval Station Oceana as the Norfolk and Hampton Roads area is home to 125,000 active duty members, 830,000 veterans and many military families.
WWE is not only supportive of the U.S. troops but also very active with Make-A-Wish Foundation, Be a STAR anti-bullying, WrestleMania Reading Challenge, Breast Cancer Awareness, Full-Sail University scholarship program and more.
"When I was on my way to WWE, I had various jobs to fund my dream [to become a WWE superstar]," the red-headed Irishman said. "That's all I was thinking of, but when I came to America, I realized later there's more to this business than the stuff in the ring."
Born in Cabra, Ireland, Sheamus, 34, grew up playing Gaelic football and rugby. He earned a diploma from the National College of Ireland. He ventured to America in 2002, training in professional wrestling at the famous Monster Factory under the guidance of Larry Sharpe in Gloucester City, N.J.
Sheamus returned to Ireland, wrestling for the newly opened Irish Whip Wrestling, based in Dublin. He also wrestled the British indie circuit in Great Britain. In 2006, he inked a developmental deal with WWE, working for the company's developmental group Florida Championship Wrestling. In 2009, he became a WWE superstar ... and philanthropist.

Following its yearly tradition, the com-panies of the East Rockaway Fire Department offered rides on our fire trucks to the children of East Rockaway. The kids spent a great Saturday morning riding around town in style! Mayor William Geier and the members of the Lyn-brook Village Board held their second meeting of the month on Monday, October 15 at the Village Hall. Chief Crowley of the Lynbrook Fire Department reported that the Village's new fire pumper had arrived after nearly a nine month delay. The original new pumper was destroyed, en route for delivery. Chief Crowley noted that and equipment committee as well as the Village Engineer are thoroughly inspecting the new truck to see that it meets specifications, and only after it meets their complete approval will the Village pay for the truck. Mayor Geier presented a citation to Chief Kehr of the Lynbrook Police Depart-ment for "Outstanding Pedestrian Safety Program" from the AAA. Deputy Mayor Krawchuk had accompanied Chief Kehr to receive the plaque from the representatives of the AAA. The Board approved a resolution of acceptance of a donation of $75 from the Lynbrook Elks Club to help defray the costs of the upcoming Halloween Cos-tume Parade, which will be held on Saturday, October 27. Children are reminded to begin lining up at the Forest Avenue parking lot at 10:30 am, and should be ready to leave for the parade promptly at II am. The d o n a t i o n will o f f s et refreshment costs for the children. The Board authorized the D e p a r t m e n t of Public Works to install four "2 H o u r " p a r k i n g meters between 100 and 120 Atlan-tic Avenue across from the Lynbrook School Annex, these meters were requested by area merchants to help alleviate the overcrowded parking conditions existing there. Three public hearings were held on the subjects of fire prevention, disabled property tax exemptions and increased parking fines. Th^ Board adopted an amendment to Section 1 Chapter 126.321 of the Vil-lage Code requiring emer-gency lighting in multiple dwellings by January L 1987. It approved Article 4 Chapter 222, which provides a property tax exemption for improvements made to residences with dreabled persons, so long as the han-dicapped person resides at the dwelling. Lastly, The Board adopted an increase in fines consistent with an earlier increase, resulting in the following: Parking dur-ing prohibited times or over designated times carry a fine of $10, up from the current $5 fee. One resident inquired about the snags that seem to be developing at Greis Park. Mayor Geier noted that unforseen problems have arisen, such as an unnoticed easement across the prop-erty and a new state ruling by the legislature. Trustee Scarpato commented that it looked unlikely that the building would be com-pleted by this winter. Lent and Englehard Debate Trees Planted To Beautify Village by Mildred Roemer "I think that I shall never see, A poem as lovely as atree." Joyce Kilmer At one time Main Street, East Rockaway, was arched by the foliage of many trees, while stately homes stood back from the curb. There is nothing that can be done now about these "stately" homes that no longer exist, but we still are blessed by having the East Point House (Peter Hewlett's former home). However, trees can be and are being replaced along Atlantic Avenue and Main Street as part of a hoped-for "Beautification" Program of our historic Village. A meeting was held last week in Village Hall with members of the Village Board and Professor Heiko Folkerts of the N.Y. Insti-tute of Technology's Archi-tectural School, and several of his senior class students. The object of the meeting was to discuss ideas as to how the Village could regain some of the charm it lost when the building of the Atlantic Avenue Extension caused traffic to bypass Main Stree. A prime pur-pose of such restoration would be to enhance the commercial appeal of the area, and to attract more business for East Rockaway merchants. It is anticipated that the study will take several months, and a report will be made in the spring of 1985. The study has been under-taken as a Senior Project of the Institute through the cooperative efforts of James Goark and Professor Fol-kerts, and at no cost to the Village. "With the advent of the Atlantic Avenue Extension, the business area of Main Street was severly hurt and lost out as a popular shop-ping area," said Trustee Irv-ing Shaw. "We want to bring it back to where it was, so that not only the residents of the Village will shop there, but visitors will also be attracted to this area". Possibilities for improve-ment of the picturesque water front areas were also under discussion. Students present with Prof. Folkert were: Nathan Laubach, Nunzio L, Lepore, Jr., Evelyn Batt, Tino Cor-nacchio, Peter Sangiorgio, and Richard Boyd. Trustees and others present were: Trustees Pauline Wipfler and Irving Shaw, Deputy Mayor Murray Eskenazi, Village Clerk Phyllis Rand, "Snperintendent of D.D.W. Gene Torborg, and James Groark of the Building Dept. also present were resi-dents Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Roemer, and Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Chiaffitelli. Congressman Norman F. Lent (R-East Rockaway) faced his deiriocratic oppo-nent. Sheldon Englehard of Oceanside, in a debate on Saturday, October 13 at 7 pm at Boardman Jr. High School, Oceanside. The confrontation was sponsored by Newsday and consisted of a format similar to those used in the recent Presidential Debates. Pane-lists posing questions to the two candidates were A1 Eisen, Newsday Nassau/- Suffolk, political writer, and Elizabeth Van Nostrand of the editorial staff. The debate was moderated by Sylban Fox, Editorial page Editor. Mr. Englehard in his opening stastement said "1 am not running despite Norman Lent, but because of Norman Lent." He accused Mr. J^ent of being an ineffective representative JackRuchdesche! Dies at 64 As we go to press, word has arrived of the death of Jack Ruchdeschel, longtime principal of Centre Avenue School, resident of the area and friend to countless numbers of parents and children. Mr. Ruchdeschel, 64, passed away suddenly while visiting his father in Florida. Funeral arrangements are being made by Harden Fun-eral Home, Bayside and vis-iting hours will be Wednes-day, October 11 from 7 to 10 pm. A Mass will be held in St. Agnes Cathedral in Rockville Centre at 10 am on Thursday. Jack RuQhdescheljtouched all he knew and his .p^ssin^ will be mourned by all. He will be truly missed. of the people of the fourth congressional district. Mr. Lent replied that during his seven terms in Congress, the public has seen "scores of Lent bills, such as the 200 mile limit, the Toxic Sub-stance Control Act, Super-fund, as well as many oth-ers." He stated that he sup-ports president Reagan and his economic policies, claim-ing that the President has "restored the promise of a better future." "If you want higher taxes and higher interest rates, then vote for Sheldon Englehard," added Congressman Lent. In response to his first questioner, Mr. Englehard refused to disavow the use of Political Action Committee (PAC) money to finance his campaign. Congressman Lent c o m m e n t e d that according to reports filed with the federal election commision, almost 50% of Mr. Englehard's contribu-tions have been made by PACs. "My support comes from more than 4,000 indi-vidual contributors," Lent s t a t e d . Mr. E n g l e h a rd stated that he favored fed- GOP Cocktail Party Set For October 28 The East Rockaway Republican Club will hold its Annual Cocktail Party on Sunday, October 28 from 3 pm to 6 pm at the East Rockaway Yacht Club. Many of the Republican candidates seeking election this November willjoin East Rockaway's own Con-gressman Norman Lent, Judge Raymond Harring-ton and Assembly candidate B r i a n Meyer in the festivities. Tickets are only $40 per couple and may be obtained by calling Phil Christ at 593- 2316 or Anthony Santino at 599-3748. Please make checks payable to the East Rockaway Republican Committee. There will be food, music, and a good time for all. So come on down and meet your Republican candidates. eral financing of congres-sional candidates; Lent opposed such a notion, stat-ing that "I'm uncomfortable with the notion that the government would be fund-ing candidates with whom I disagree, be they democrats, communists or the Ameri-can Nazi Party." On the question of what to do with the federal defic-its, Mr. Englehard stated that he would "cut a military budget that pays $7,400 for a coffeepot" and added that he would scrap such wea-pons systems as the B-I Bomber, the M-X Missile, and the "Star Wars" defen-sive system. Mr. Lent stated that he supported President Reagan's efforts to cut the rate of federal spending and noted that the tax cuts pro-vided by the Reagan Admin-istration had resulted in a 12% increase in tax revenues. He also vowed to cut the "fat and waste" that "still saturates the budget." He said that he would cut farm subsidies, federal water storage programs, and pub-lic works projects, none of which are enjoyed by resi-dents of the Fourth district. On virtually every subject, the two candidates were diametrically opposed to the views of his counterpart. Mr. Lent supports the con-cept of tuition tax credits, Mr. Englehard opposes it. Mr. Englehard favored cut-ting off military aid to the d e m o c r a t i c a l l y - e l e c t ed government of El Salvador and the rebels in Nicaragua; Mr. Lent stated his support of these two groups as a "categorical yes." Mr. Lent opposed federal funding of a b o r t i o n s , saying that

On Saturday, December 21, 2013, hundreds of Savannah's kids will get the Christmas they wish for. For over thirty years the West Broad Street YMCA, and countless volunteers and corporate partners has collected toys, clothes, school supplies, and children's books or donations to purchase for families.
This year Junior League of Savannah and Tate Law Group, LLC have stepped forward as key financial partners in the event.
In 2012 over 700 children were helped and even move are expected this year. The parents served by the West Broad Street YMCA work and do their best to provide for their kids. But this year the money they earn is going for necessities like food, rent, and supplies.
The event kicks off on Saturday, December 21 at 8 am at the West Broad Street YMCA. Parents must bring a proof of residency (this event is only open to Savannah residents in the immediate area of the Y) and a social security card for each child (to ensure that the toys are going to kids). One of Santa's elves will bring the family to the toy shop set up in the Y gym and help them pick out their items.
Gently loved or new toys, books, school supplies, games, or sports equipment are currently being sought and collected. Cash donations are also welcome. All items should be unwrapped. Volunteers are also needed!
The West Broad Street YMCA is one of five Heritage Y's remaining in the country. Founded in 1942 to serve African Americans denied services during legalized segregation, the Y is currently located between Kayton and Frazier Homes. It serves as the community center for local residents providing an early learning program, after school, and summer enrichment. As Savannah's downtown Y it is open to anyone, but its program services are focused on helping families end generational poverty.

Hydrokinetic Research - Why is it important?
Recent studies estimate that Alaska has about 40% of the total U.S. river energy resource potential and about 90% of the total U.S. tidal energy resources. Many of Alaska's rural inland communities affected by high energy costs are situated along navigable rivers that could host hydrokinetic installations. Alaska's Railbelt power grid extends from Homer to Fairbanks and runs along Cook Inlet, which hosts one of the best potentially developable tidal resources in the world. This has led many Alaskan communities to consider whether they can access these resources to generate electric power which has in turn driven state interest in the potential of this technology.
AHERC's Role
The Alaska Hydrokinetic Research Center (AHERC) focuses on applied research and engineering specifically related to extracting power from the kinetic energy of moving water in rivers and tidal basins.
AHERC conducts environmental and technical studies that benefit a broad cross-section of developers. Such topics include fish and marine mammal baseline studies of interest to permitting agencies, approaches to anchoring and debris mitigation, the prevalence of turbulence and its effects, and other problems common to the Alaskan hydrokinetic power generation efforts.
AHERC is housed within the Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). AHERC and ACEP are based in the Institute of Northern Engineering (INE), the research and development arm of the College of Engineering and Mines (CEM) at UAF.
Mission and Vision
The Mission of the Alaska Hydrokinetic Research Center is to conduct applied research and work with other stakeholders to foster development of practical and innovative solutions to hydrokinetic power generation to help meet Alaska's energy challenges.
Our Vision is to develop a self‐sustaining AHERC with capabilities to conduct applied research needed to facilitate the development and implementation of hydrokinetic power generation worldwide.
Strategic Plan
For more specific information on the organization, goals, and values of AHERC, please download AHERC's strategic plan.
