What Country Works the Longest Hours?
While some Americans are still feeling the reverberations of an unstable economy, many are now putting in longer hours in an attempt to catch up.
While some Americans are still feeling the reverberations of an unstable economy, many are now putting in longer hours in an attempt to catch up.
While some things change, other things stay the same. It seems that even in light of a quaking economy and pseudo depression, the one thing Americans can always count on is that it is expensive to live — no matter where you are.
The month of June is full of fun, bizarre and offbeat holidays that you can celebrate. We all know Father's Day is on the third Sunday in June and Flag Day is June 14th, but what about the other lesser known, funny, wacky or just plain weird holidays in June? June is full of unusual holidays, almost one for every day. Who even knew National Yo-Yo Day existed?
If your gas mileage doesn't seem as good as it once was, there might be some very valid reasons — including the fact that you're driving too aggressively.
There is a growing trend among America's married couples that appears to be gaining ground as a result of a challenging economy and unsettled job market.
That trend is the commuter marriage. But what is it?
Here's the good news: Americans have better credit scores now than we have in the past few years. But there's bad news, too: credit standards are now so high that it may not matter much.
There appears to be a new insurgence of bank robbers kicking in the doors of America's financial institutions.
Many analysts predicted doom and gloom for gas prices this summer, with some saying they could reach as high as $6 per gallon.
But it seems those concerns were for naught — fuel costs have been on the decline and are now expected to stay well below last year's prices.
Fortune's annual list of the 500 wealthiest companies didn't contain many surprises. The biggest surprise, however, wasn't who made the list but where they made it.
The National Day of Prayer was observed everywhere Thursday, and one of the churches holding services was Shreveport's First United Methodist Church.

PhD Studentship - School of Computing and Communications
Data Analysis and Algorithms Development applied to Climate Research
Lancaster University, School of Computing and Communications
Minimum of £13,590
Applications are invited for a 3-year funded PhD studentship in Evolving Clustering of Atmospheric Measurements commencing 1 January 2013.
About the project
The studentship is funded by the Natural Environment Council (NERC) as a part of the multimillion-pound project, CAST: 'Co-ordinated Airborne Studies in the Tropics'. The CAST consortium includes 6 UK Universities and is coordinated by Cambridge University. The project's aim is to investigate and develop innovative methods, algorithms and software for real-time on-board processing of climate science data, from the Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle, by identifying dynamically evolving clusters and autonomously monitoring, modelling and extracting knowledge from the data streams.
The aim is for this studentship is to address both basic theoretical and application research questions relevant to the real-time conversion of the Global Hawk data stream into a useful climate science product. Basic questions include those on development of autonomous and dynamically evolving clustering and classifiers. Application research will centre on developing new algorithms, software and possibly hardware (on chip) implementation serving the experimental elements of the project for real-time data stream processing in the high altitude atmospheric composition in tropical areas of the Earth. The studentship thus offers the opportunity to participate in the development of new theoretical and application advances of research methodology and development of related algorithms and software, as well as to be closely related and provide this to a real state-of-the-art experiment which will take place in the high altitudes of the tropical parts of the Earth.
Supervisors and Location
The studentship will be supervised by Dr Plamen Angelov, who will provide the expertise in artificial intelligence and provide the day-to-day pastoral supervision, and co-supervised by Prof Rob MacKenzie (University of Birmingham), who will provide expertise in atmospheric science. The studentship will be based in Lancaster University's InfoLab21 - a Centre of Excellence in ICT the School of Computing and Communications This provides an excellent opportunity for professional and personal development.
Candidate eligibility
Due to NERC requirements, this award is only available to UK citizens or candidates who meet the eligibility set out in the NERC Studentship Handbook. This studentship is fully funded by NERC and covers all fees, an annual maintenance award of a minimum of £13,590 per annum (2012/13 level) over 3 years.
Qualifications/Experience/Person specification
Applicants should hold (or expect to obtain) a minimum upper-second class honours degree or equivalent in a discipline related to machine learning, pattern recognition, computational intelligence or broader computer science and/or electrical engineering. Some experience in atmospheric physics and/or chemistry will be an advantage; a willingness to study across scientific disciplines is essential. Technical aptitude and a willingness to learn fast new areas of research will also be essential. Because this studentship is a part of a project and includes communication with partners of a large consortium, excellent communications skills are required.
How to apply
To apply, please send the following documents by email to Dr Plamen Angelov (firstname.lastname@example.com) a CV (including names and contact details of two referees) as well as a Covering letter (including the motivation and a research proposal/statement).

We ordered natural roman shades with blackout for our bedroom and they are great. We can finally sleep in on weekends.
by Katpaw from Monroe on May 15, 2011
The woven shades I purchased for my client are absolutely beautiful and the quality is the best! They were a breeze to install and work like a charm.
by Live Simply from OK on November 17, 2014
I first ordered these Woven Wood shades for four normal size windows to make sure I would like them. Since they added a rustic updated look to my rustic home - I then ordered them for eight very large ceiling to floor windows. They are well made & easy to hang (though my first order did not have any instructions included.) I compared prices to other online companies & the Blindsgalore prices could not be beat. I did not get a lining, so you can see through the shades, which was what I wanted. You can also see through them from the outside looking in -which was also OK since I live in the country. I do believe they are helping in blocking out some of the heat & cold (as compared to my former mini-blinds.) Would definitely recommend for a rustic, relaxed, casual feel. Absolutely love them!
Thanks. You're all signed up!

Brookfield Infrastructure today announced its results for the year ended December 31, 2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended Year ended Dec 31 Dec 31 US$ millions (except per unit amounts) 2012 2011 2012 2011 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFO(1) $ 130 $ 95 $ 462 $ 392 - per unit(2) $ 0.65 $ 0.54 $ 2.41 $ 2.41 Net income $ 50 $ 54 $ 106 $ 187 - per unit(2) $ 0.25 $ 0.30 $ 0.55 $ 1.15 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brookfield Infrastructure posted solid results for the year ended December 31, 2012 with funds from operations ("FFO")(1) totalling $462 million ($2.41 per unit) compared to FFO of $392 million ($2.41 per unit) in 2011. This 18% increase in year-over-year FFO was primarily driven by significant expansion projects that were successfully commissioned during the year and to a lesser extent, new investments. FFO per unit of $2.41 was flat compared to the prior year as investments made with proceeds from recent equity offerings did not fully contribute to cash flows during the year. Brookfield Infrastructure's payout ratio was 62%, which is well within its target range of 60%-70%, and it earned a solid AFFO yield of 10%.
"Our performance in 2012 highlights the value created in our business from capital investments made over the last several years. In 2012 we strategically expanded our operating platforms by acquiring high quality businesses at attractive valuations. In addition, we advanced our asset sales program, to allow us to recycle capital, which is a key part of our financing strategy," said Sam Pollock, CEO of Brookfield Infrastructure. "Brookfield Infrastructure is entering 2013 well positioned for growth and with a strong balance sheet to continue taking advantage of attractive investment opportunities."
Segment Performance
Brookfield Infrastructure's utilities platform generated FFO of $308 million in 2012, compared to $275 million in the prior year. The increase in FFO was primarily due to the recently completed merger, which doubled the size of its UK regulated distribution business, the increased ownership interest in its Chilean electricity transmission system and the acquisition of an interest in a Colombian distribution company. Excluding new investments, FFO also increased due to inflation indexation and contributions from organic growth investments.
Brookfield Infrastructure's transport and energy platform generated FFO of $244 million in 2012, compared to $167 million in the prior year. The increase in FFO was primarily driven by a 110% increase in FFO from its Australian railroad as a result of the commissioning of its expansion program, as well as a favourable grain harvest. This platform also benefited from the contribution from the South American toll roads acquired in the fourth quarter. The Partnership's North American gas transmission business continues to be impacted by weak market conditions caused by excess capacity and low natural gas prices, however, FFO was flat in this business due to an equity investment that deleveraged its balance sheet.
Brookfield Infrastructure's timber platform reported FFO of $22 million in 2012, compared to $33 million in the prior year. Results reflect soft demand from Asia early in the year, which caused average realized prices to decline by more than 7%, combined with operational restrictions due to a prolonged fire season that impacted its harvest in the second half of the year. For the year, exports represented 41% of total log sales, which was down from 47% in the prior year as demand in the domestic markets strengthened with early stages of recovery in the U.S. housing market.
The following table presents net income and FFO by segment:
Three months ended Year ended Dec 31 Dec 31 ---------------------------------------- US$ millions, unaudited 2012 2011 2012 2011 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income (loss) by segment Utilities $ 13 $ 56 $ 111 $ 163 Transport and energy 2 (4) 33 47 Timber 51 46 46 91 Corporate and other (16) (44) (84) (114) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income $ 50 $ 54 $ 106 $ 187 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFO by segment Utilities $ 85 $ 71 $ 308 $ 275 Transport and energy 75 44 244 167 Timber 7 5 22 33 Corporate and other (37) (25) (112) (83) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFO $ 130 $ 95 $ 462 $ 392 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brookfield Infrastructure reported net income of $106 million ($0.55 per unit) for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to net income of $187 million ($1.15 per unit) in the prior year. Net income decreased compared to the prior year as higher depreciation and amortization expense associated with an increased asset base and lower revaluation gains offset the increase in FFO that was generated during the year.
Strategic Initiatives Update
In the fourth quarter of 2012, Brookfield Infrastructure closed four previously announced acquisitions, completed over $300 million of transactions related to its asset sales program and executed $600 million of financing initiatives.
-- In October, Brookfield Infrastructure completed the acquisition of an additional interest in its Chilean toll road for $170 million, increasing its ownership to approximately 50%. -- Also in October, Brookfield Infrastructure invested approximately $75 million for a 25% interest in a district energy system that serves commercial customers in downtown Toronto, which it acquired in partnership with institutional investors. -- In November, Brookfield Infrastructure completed the acquisition and recapitalization of a UK regulated distribution business, investing $525 million and more than doubling its installed base of gas and electricity connections to over one million. -- In December, Brookfield Infrastructure acquired an interest in the largest toll road operator in Brazil, in partnership with Abertis Infraestructuras and institutional investors, for $310 million.
Asset Sales
-- In November, following the acquisition and recapitalization of a UK regulated distribution business and subsequent merger with its existing business, Brookfield Infrastructure completed the sale of a 20% interest of its integrated UK regulated distribution business to an institutional investor for proceeds of approximately $235 million. -- In December, Brookfield Infrastructure completed the sale of a 12.5% interest in its Canadian timberlands to an institutional investor for approximately $85 million, which is equivalent to its IFRS book value.
Financing Initiatives
-- In October, Brookfield infrastructure closed a C$400 million, five-year medium-term note offering in the Canadian bond market with a coupon of 3.5%, which was swapped into U.S. dollars on a matched maturity basis at an all-in rate of 2.7%. -- In November, Brookfield Infrastructure increased its corporate credit facility to $855 million. Subsequent to quarter end, the facility was increased to $900 million. This corporate credit facility is available for investments and acquisitions as well as general corporate purposes.
During the fourth quarter, Brookfield Infrastructure signed an agreement to acquire an additional 10% interest in its Chilean transmission system from Brookfield Asset Management for $235 million, effective October 2012.
Increased Distributions
The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of US$0.43 per unit, payable on March 29, 2013 to unitholders of record as at the close of business on February 28, 2013. This distribution represents a 15% increase. For 2012, Brookfield Infrastructure's distribution implied a payout ratio(3) of 62% of FFO.
Distributions are eligible for reinvestment under the Partnership's Distribution Reinvestment Plan. Information on this Plan and on declared distributions can be found on Brookfield Infrastructure's website under Investor Relations/Distributions.
Additional Information
The Letter to Unitholders and the Supplemental Information for the three and 12 months ended December 31, 2012 contain further information on Brookfield Infrastructure's strategy, operations and financial results. Unitholders are encouraged to read these documents, which are available at www.brookfieldinfrastructure.com.
Brookfield Infrastructure operates high quality, long-life assets that generate stable cash flows, require relatively minimal maintenance capital expenditures and, by virtue of barriers to entry and other characteristics, tend to appreciate in value over time. Its current business consists of the ownership and operation of premier utilities, transport and energy, and timber assets in North and South America, Australasia, and Europe. It also seeks acquisition opportunities in other infrastructure sectors with similar attributes. The payout policy targets 3% to 7% annual growth in distributions. Units trade on the New York and Toronto stock exchanges under the symbols BIP and BIP.UN, respectively.

text: To help promote public awareness of the importance of electrical safety, the City of Mesa's Energy Resources Department is joining with the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) in its promotion of May as National Electrical Safety Month. Each week in May, this year's campaign will address one of four key safety issues: do-it yourself safety, office safety, safety education for kids, and industrial safety. Do-It-Yourself Safety According to the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University, the U.S. home improvement market has nearly doubled in size in the last ten years to over $290 billion per year. Over the same period of time, emergency rooms reported an increased number of injuries that were the direct result of persons performing home electrical work. Working with electricity can be dangerous unless you adhere to the rules. Therefore, you should always consider hiring a qualified, licensed electrician to do home electric projects but when undertaking any home electrical project on your own, safety rules you should follow include: • Before beginning any project involving electrical work, make an effort to learn as much as possible about your home electrical system; • Admit your weaknesses. Never attempt a project that is beyond your skill level. Knowing when to call a professional may help prevent electrical fires, injuries, and fatalities; • Always shut off power at the main disconnect before changing a fuse; Always shut off power to the circuit or at the main before repairing or replacing a switch, receptacle, or fixture; • Always tape over the main switch, empty fuse socket, or circuit breaker when you're working. Leave a note there so no one will accidentally turn on the electricity. Keep any fuses you've removed away from the box; • DO NOT TOUCH plumbing or gas pipes when performing a do-it-yourself electrical project; and • NEVER WORK ON ANY LIVE CIRCUIT, FIXTURE, RECEPTACLE OR SWITCH. Your life may depend on it. ***Remember - For additions or repairs to your Mesa property, always ensure that you use qualified licensed contractors and have obtained proper permits. Office Safety Stay safe from electrical safety hazards in the workplace. When determining where electric equipment and cords can safely be placed, plan ahead to avoid injuries and equipment damage and: • Do not overload circuits. Use multiple outlets for electrical equipment; • Use only grounded (3-prong) appliances and equipment in grounded outlets; • Protect office electronics from possible spillage of food and beverages; • Place electrical cords where they cannot be cut by sharp desk or drawer edges, or rolled over by chair legs; • Do not place electrical cords across doorways or other openings; and • Keep electrical cords away from radiators, space heaters, and/or other heat sources. Electrical Safety Education "4" Children Early education and reinforcement of safety around electricity and all forms of energy helps to make energy safety a part of your children's everyday activities and thinking. Teach your children to respect energy and electricity and to avoid danger by following important safety tips whenever electricity is near: • Respect the Cord. Electrical cords have wires inside them that carries electricity from the wall socket to the TV, microwave, and other electrical devices - so it's important to avoid handling cords without adult supervision. Ask an adult if you want something plugged in or unplugged and, if given permission, only connect or disconnect a cord by the plug. Make sure you tell an adult when a cord is bent, cracked, frayed or smoking. • Water and Electricity Don't Mix. Electricity flows easily through water. Stay safe by keeping electricity and water far apart. In fact, electricity and any liquid should be kept apart. • Stop the Shock. Stay away from electrical outlets even when they're not in use. Never touch or insert objects in electric outlets. Keep electrical objects away from water, and water away from electrical objects. Keep water/drinks away from electrical outlets. • Fight Fires Before They Start. Tell an adult when something is too near a lamp, heater, or other hot surface. If any electric appliance or cord is smoking, tell an adult immediately and follow your escape plan. • GET OUT, GET HELP AND CALL 9-1-1. Every family should have an emergency escape plan. Make sure everyone in the family knows and practices the plan including the escape route. Both the City of Mesa's Energy Resources Department and the ESFI offer a free, interactive and fun websites for children to learn about electrical safety. Visit Electric and Natural Gas Safety World and ESFI's Kid's Corner and let your child's adventure into safety begin. Electrical Safety in the Field Electrical accidents on the job cause an average of 13 days away from work for each accident and nearly one fatality every day. The first step in avoiding electrical hazards begins with safety awareness. Know your employer's safety requirements and follow them. If you are unsure "ASK BEFORE YOU ACT!". ENERGY SAFETY IS EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY. WHETHER ELECTRIC OR NATURAL GAS: BE EDUCATED, BE AWARE AND BE SAFE.

UPDATED: Man escapes Belmont fire by jumping from three-story building
Fire broke out at 149 Young Road Belmont at 6:30 p.m., according to Gilford Fire Chief Stephen Carrier. The fire was originally thought to be in Gilford, but was found to be in Belmont, Carrier said.
Firefighters from Gilford and Laconia were dispatched to the fire. While responding, they were told there was an occupant trapped on the second floor, Carrier said.
Before they got to the scene, another phone call indicated that the occupant had been able to jump from the second floor and was out of the building.
"Obviously, the occupant that jumped was extremely lucky to get out of the building," Carrier said. "His only exit to the ground was completely engulfed in flames. He jumped from a deck, onto a dump truck parked below to escape the flames and smoke."
Carrier said there were no other occupants in the building at the time of the fire. Investigators did not release the identity the man Wednesday night.
When firefighters arrived, a first alarm was called for, as fire was showing from the roof, the right side, and rear of the large four-unit apartment building with garages underneath.
A second alarm was requested, and then a third alarm was called for at 7:08 p.m. for additional manpower and water supply help.
Firefighters knocked down the fire on the exterior of the building and in the attic and roof areas with outside streams, and then advanced hand lines into the second and third floors to extinguish the remaining fire in the walls, floors, and attic.
Water was shuttled to the scene from a cistern on Cotton Hill Road, Carrier said.
After the fire was knocked down, when it was determined that the building was in Belmont, the Belmont Fire Department assumed control of the incident.
Three engines, a tanker, a rescue truck, an ambulance, a utility truck, and the air trailer from Gilford responded to the scene along with an engine and ladder from Laconia. Apparatus and crews from Belmont, Sanbornton, Tilton-Northfield, Franklin, Holderness, Meredith and Alton assisted at the scene.
Engines from Center Harbor and New Hampton covered the Gilford station, along with an ambulance from Gilmanton. Also assisting on scene were a number of officers from local departments, Lake Region Mutual Fire Aid, Lakes Region CERT, Gilford police, and the Red Cross.
The house was badly damaged, but firefighters managed to save much of it, Carrier said.
"All of the crews worked extremely well together, as usual," he said. "This was a tremendous stop considering the amount of fire we had showing when we arrived, the remote location, and the size of the building."

Sustainable seafood is the way of the future and Albion Sea-foods is gearing up for the run, breaking ground on a state-of-the-art plant in Richmond that will increase efficiency and output.
"We're intending to grow; that's why we're looking for more space," Albion President John Milobar said.
Much of that growth is expected to come from sustainable seafood.
Albion is already a leader in sustainable seafood and the company wants to accelerate its plans to acquire more sustainable supply, Milobar said.

Planning a Solid-Liquid Separation System to Meet Manure Treatment and Management Goals
There are many reasons to add solid-liquid separation to the manure management system on a particular farm. One of the critical steps in the planning process is to clearly define the immediate and future treatment and management goals. For example, one goal may be to use solid-liquid separation to consolidate valuable plant nutrients from flush manure so that they can be better utilized for crop production. Another may be to reduce the loading rate for a biological treatment process. Yet another may be to reduce the size of an anaerobic digester. Not every technology will meet these diverse requirements. The goal of this presentation is to provide a decision framework that will assist in the selection and implementation of solid-liquid separation technologies that will meet farm-specific manure treatment and management goals.

Odors can evoke strong emotions and stimulate physiological responses. Animal feeding operation owners and managers need to be aware of their emissions and the impact they have on their neighbors and community. Good neighbor relations and effective communications help identify odor problems and communicate actions to manage them. When considering mitigation practices weigh the costs, expected effectiveness, and how the practice fits into the overall operation while being mindful of neighbor and community concerns.

Evaluation of Feed Storage Leachate and Runoff System Design and Operation
As the use of bunker silos, stacking pads, silo bags, and commodity sheds are used more extensively for feed storage, concerns have arisen regarding the potential of leachate and runoff moving from these storage systems to waters of the state. Leachate and runoff collection systems have been designed to capture the leachate considered to have the most risk and store it for land application, while the rest overflows to a vegetated treatment area. UW-Discovery Farms and members from the UW-Madison Biological Systems Engineering department have combined on-farm research efforts to evaluate the effectiveness of current leachate system designs and provide new optimized design recommendations to maximize nutrient collection and minimize volume collection.

Exclusive: A decade ago, George W. Bush's administration, citing the specter of "mushroom clouds," launched a PR campaign to rally the American people behind an invasion of Iraq. Today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is undertaking a similar effort against Iran, writes Peter Dyer.
The Bush-43 Administration
Obama Ruling Shields Torturers
Exclusive: Attorney General Eric Holder's decision not to prosecute CIA torturers in two high-profile homicides bows to the political difficulty of going after field agents while sparing superiors, including ex-President George W. Bush. But the all-clear on torture sends a dangerous message, says ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
Whitewashing Rachel Corrie's Death
Two recent rulings, one in Israel blaming American Rachel Corrie for her own death while obstructing the demolition of Palestinian homes and another in America absolving torturers in the murder of detainees, suggest that national security trumps justice and international law is easily brushed aside, writes Lawrence Davidson.
An All-Clear for Bush's Torturers
Even as Nobel Peace Prize winner Desmond Tutu urges a war-crimes trial for George Bush and Tony Blair for invading Iraq, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder gives an all-clear to Bush's subordinates for homicides that resulted from torture in Afghanistan and Iraq, a repudiation of U.S. law and principles, says Marjorie Cohn.
How Rev. Moon's 'Snakes' Infested US
From the Archive: The death of Rev. Sun Myung Moon at 92 ends the long personal saga of a Korean theocrat whose life intertwined his bizarre religion with threads into organized crime and right-wing politics. Moon also showed how a fortune spent on media could change Washington's political dynamic, as Robert Parry wrote in 2010.
Romney World's Freedom from Fact
Exclusive: The Republican National Convention offered a look into one alternate future for America, a place where the ultimate liberty is to be fact-free. Mitt Romney's campaign set sail confidently toward that future trusting that a plurality of Americans who will vote (or be allowed to vote) is onboard, says Robert Parry.
Recalling a Young American's Sacrifice
From the Archive: An Israeli court has ruled that Rachel Corrie "put herself in danger" and thus Israel bears no blame for the 23-year-old American being crushed by an Israeli bulldozer as it leveled Palestinian homes in Gaza in 2003. Last March, the ninth anniversary of her death, her parents recalled her sacrifice.
More Neglect for America's Poor
The Wall Street meltdown of 2008 pushed millions of middle-class Americans down the social ladder and left the Obama administration scrambling to limit the damage. But that has meant even less attention to the growing ranks of the nation's poor, say Bill Moyers and Michael Winship.
The Human Cost of War on Iran
Exclusive: As Israel threatens to bomb Iran, U.S. pundits are again pontificating about the necessity of war and opining about military tactics. Left out of their frame is the certainty of mass human suffering, a reality forgotten since the days of the Vietnam War, says former U.S. intelligence analyst Elizabeth Murray.
Ignoring International Law on Iran
President George W. Bush and his neocon advisers made much of mocking international law, with Bush once responding to a question in fake horror: "I better call my lawyer." But the issue of the U.S. and its allies abiding by such laws is front and center again with Iran, notes Paul R. Pillar.

2010 Bentley Continental vs Cadillac CTS-V
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The 2010 Bentley Continental Suspersports will
set you back $286.845 and it is the most powerful car that Bentley has ever
built with a Twin turbo W-12 6.0L engine
that produces 621 HP. The 2010 Cadillac CTS-V is a mere $ 68,445 and is the
fastest production four door sedan on the market today with a supercharged
V8 from the Corvette ZR-1 that produces 556 HP. Perhaps just as importantly
the two premium luxury sports cars best demonstrate the difference of
