Green River has plans for a local business summit on March 11 from 1-7 p.m. at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum. The summit is being sponsored by the Green River Chamber of Commerce, Green River City, Emery County Economic Development and USDA Rural Development. The theme for this year's summit is "Bring the Green to Green River." All business owners, managers and supervisors in Emery County and surrounding areas are encouraged to attend.
Presenters will come from the state chamber of commerce, Price and Moab chamber of commerce members and the city manager of Panguitch will present along with others. There will be informative booths to assist local business owners in improving their businesses. The USDA will hold an open forum on business development in rural Utah.
Green River business is feeling the pinch of current economic hard times according to event organizers. "We can no longer depend on consumers dropping off the highway. We need to find ways to become a destination site, to draw the attention of promoters. A new Disney film is being filmed in the area the end of April and into May. They have booked entire motels for the production of their newest film. We need to promote our area for more projects of this kind. It is important to your business to be aware of upcoming events that could bring a few extra dollars into your business. We need the input and the help of local businesses in order to grow. That's why it is so important you take a few hours to come to this event. The summit will be presented at no cost to the attendees. For more information about the summit, call the Green River City office at 435-564-3448."
Event organizers want everyone to register ahead of time for the event so they know how many to accommodate.
Organizers said, "We want to thank everyone for their hard work and the efforts they put into having a business in Green River. It takes a lot of hard work to manage a profitable business in a small town. Thanks for contributing to our town and providing jobs here. We hope to be instrumental in assisting you to improve your business in this tough economic climate."
The United State Department of Agriculture is leading an effort to hear from Rural America on its ideas on what it takes to create jobs and economic development in rural communities across the country.
President Obama recently invited 130 corporate executives, economists, small business owners and union leaders to the White House to pursue ideas for accelerating job growth during the worst labor market in a generation. Now the President wants to take the same brainstorming opportunities to the people in rural America. The input from Green River's forum and discussion will be sent to Washington DC to ensure local ideas are part of any solution addressing the challenges of creating jobs and economic growth.
The state director Dave Conine and directors for USDA rural development's housing, business and community programs will present at the summit. The primary focus for the meeting and discussion will be on challenges and ideas to accelerate job growth in the Green River and Emery County area. Organizers say, "Please bring your thoughts and solutions to the summit. Your input and participation will be greatly appreciated."
Some of the questions to consider and think over before the summit include: what parts of your local economy are working and/or not working; what businesses and sectors are expanding and hiring; what sectors have been hit the hardest; what businesses and sectors seem poised to rebound; what are the obstacles to job creation in your community; how can we overcome the dilemma government faces with visionary projects such as building highways, creation of renewable energy systems, and infrastructure projects, compared to shovel ready projects such as fixing streets and improving home energy efficiency; how can existing small businesses be provided with critical support; what is the best way to expand public and private financing for green jobs; how can rural areas create inter-organizational and collaborative worker training networks to provide a skilled workforce; how can rural America be involved in expanding exports; exploring ways to rejuvenate and promote local businesses; creating jobs by rebuilding American's infrastructure; creating new opportunities from existing ones, such as with value added agricultural products; supporting job growth among small businesses; preparing workers for 21st century jobs.

I want to say how much I appreciate all of the Utah Senators who rejected Judge Robert Hilder's appointment to Utah's appellate bench. It is time we put a stop to judges who set themselves up as law makers and remind them that their duty is not to make laws, but to uphold them.
When judges set themselves up as an authority, willing to dismiss our God given right to defend ourselves as framed in the Constitution and enumerated in the Bill of Rights-then it is time to not only not support such a judge, but to impeach him and remove him from office permanently. Good work Utah Senators.

San Juan decisively defeated Emery by a final score of 56-13, in the quarterfinal game of the 2-A state playoffs in Blanding on Oct. 26.
It was a crazy day for playoffs. Grand High edged Millard to make the semi-finals, as did South Summit over Richfield. Manti beat Beaver as expected. This week's games are Manti vs. Grand and San Juan vs. South Summit. After last week's games predictions are Manti and San Juan in the finals the following week.
San Juan's offense was unstoppable in this game as they scored on eight straight drives before the Spartans finally had a defensive stop. In addition, the Broncos returned a punt for a touchdown also.
Emery, on the other hand, scored once in the first half and then again midway through the fourth quarter. In the second quarter, Emery quarterback Spencer Labrum completed a pass to Otis Addison to advance the Spartans from their 35-yard line to the Bronco 28-yard line. Addison then ran the ball for another seven yards. After an incomplete pass and a false-start penalty, Labrum completed another pass to Addison for another first down. Addison then scored Emery's first touchdown on a 9-yard run after San Juan had picked up a penalty.
Emery's final touchdown came on an 88-yard drive. Emery put together a 14 play drive that culminated in a touchdown on a pass completion from Labrum to David Dyer.
In the game, Emery had 14 first downs to San Juan's 20. Emery had 211 yards of total offense while the Broncos amassed 368 yards. Emery had 117 yards of passing compared to 56 yards for San Juan. San Juan finished with 312 yards on the ground while the Spartans gained only 94 yards.
Emery turned over the ball once on a fumble and once on an interception. Emery punted four times in the game while the Broncos never did.
Individual stats for Emery saw Dyer gain 34 yards in six carries, Cory Cox gained 23 yards in six carries, Addison gained 18 yards in six carries and Tanner Lake gained nine yards in three carries.
Labrum completed 12 of 21 passes for 117 yards. Bailey Faimalo finished with four receptions for 38 yards, Dyer had three catches for 18 yards, Addison had two catches for 46 yards and Cox had two catches for six yards. Jared Shakespaere and Zach West led the team with seven tackles each. Emery finished the season with a 7-4 record. Bailey Faimalo, currently leads the state of Utah in interceptions with eight.

Skip to comments.Smoky bar triggered fatal asthma attack
Posted on 02/10/2008 6:00:34 AM PST by justkillingtime
A woman in her late teens died from an acute asthma attack triggered by secondhand cigarette smoke shortly after arriving at her job as a waitress in a bar in Michigan, researchers reported on Friday.
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
The smoke Gestapo will use this one incident to justify their actions.
Oh come on! If her asthma was that bad why was she working out where she knew smoke was sure to be? Also, if her asthma was that bad and she cared about it she'd have been taking preventative medications plus have her emergency inhaler.
"Awwwwwwwww... dude! I always end up getting blamed for everything!"
"He said a smoking ban could prevent future deaths."
Without being to insensitive, how about carrying your inhaler, or maybe looking for another line of work? Go ahead and flame me.
Since the drinking age is 21, what is a 19-year-old (at most) doing working in a bar?
You would think after all that hard work and money spent on earning her waitress degree that the university of higher education she attended will refund some of the fees to someone in need.
Secondly, I want to know exactly what proof is presented that "second-hand smoke" caused this death. Did they find actual "second-hand smoke" in the lungs or lung tissue? How does one make the definitive diagnosis that "second hand smoke" has caused a death.
Last, but not least, why was this young lady putting herself in an enviornment like that if she were that sensitive to "second hand smoke"? This could not have been the first time that she had encountered it.
Sorry--but I just don't buy it.
" Smoky bar triggered fatal asthma attack "
Remember that the anti-smokers pioneered a lot of the "blame-everyting-on" tactics that the GW herd uses to such great effect.....
Waiting for headline that reads "Mass Transit Bus Fumes Triggered Fatal Asthma Attack"
If I had severe asthma, I sure as heck wouldn't get a job in a smoky bar. The young lady decided poorly. And now politicians will try and ban smoking. *sigh*
It's Bush's fault.
Good question since the article states that this is the conclusion of some researcher. How about the medical examiner? What did he/she say?
Tell me, how do you do in "fresh" air filled with pollen?
Here, in Floriduh, the trees are pollinating to the degree my vehicle is yellow over the maroon paint job, and I washed it two days ago.
How does your genetics deal with pollen in the "fresh" air?
In Michigan, even though the drinking age is 21, one needs only be 18 to serve alcohol.
This is like the article from a few years back that claimed hundreds of heart attacks had not occurred because of a one month old smoking ban.
One whiff and you're a stiff!
Okay, thanks.
The issue isn't whether tobacco smoke can trigger an asthma attack (it can; so can chimney smoke and perfumes) but whether smoking should be banned in private places on that account. It irks me when people who are strong advocates for a position deny reality in order to support their position.
Unless she was the daughter of the owner; what was an underaged girl doing working in a bar? And with all the pre-warning junk out there; didn't someone out there know about smoke and athsma or is this a real story or only set up by the Nazi smoker's police.
I smell a really bogus story here. Wonder what the ME had to say on the death certificate.
The difference is that you have a choice to be in an environment filled with cigarette smoke, and don't often have a choice to be in a pollen filled environment.
What is really interesting to me is how now no one can stand smokey places; yet back before the smoking police came along; no one seemed bothered at all by it.
You really do have to think about that?
Oh where to start. First of all, poorly treated asthma. IOW she didn't take care of her asthma. Second, she had been working there for awhile with no problems. My DIL has acute asthma. She does not smoke and no one smokes around her. I have had to call an ambulance for her twice for asthma attacks. She has spent time in ICU for her asthma. No SHS involved. Anything could have triggered her attack. This is more propaganda bull. Its just a way to get a death certificate with the cause of death SHS to use for their own propaganda.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
my hubby has asthma.
He has two medicines...one he is supposed to puff on once a day as a maintenance sort of thing.
The other he uses when his chest feels tight.
The first medicine is supposed to reduce his reliance on the second.
It sounds like she was relying on the second type, and then only when it was too late.
There could also be a financial issue here too.
We recently changed pharmacies, and in the process there was one day where our insurance info had not made the switch.
I payed for my husband's medicine out of pocket...one month's worth was about $200.
I could see if you were struggling and had no insurance why you might be careful not to go through the inhalers too quickly.
Of course, working where there is smoke would increase your need for the inhaler.
I asked Sender ... "how do you do in "fresh" air filled with pollen?"
The point is, though you avoid areas you knowingly are allergic to, ie: those dreaded smokey bars you must inhabit the rest of the planet.
Now, if you have a genetic condition that precludes you from breathing "fresh" air, obviously you are in deep doo doo.
Of course, as the imurities found in "fresh" air are, no doubt, the fault of humans we should demand that the earth's air be filtered.
Perhaps the UN could do that, when they get the chance.
"Since the drinking age is 21, what is a 19-year-old (at most) doing working in a bar?"
Bingo.. first of all what was she doing there, Second of all.. if she had asthma SO BAD that a whiff of smoke would put her in an early grave.. what was she doing IN a bar instead of a plastic bubble.
Actually, back before smoking bans, we asthma patients were bothered by cigarette smoke in public places, sometimes very much. I had friends who would end up in an ambulance if they made the mistake of going to the wrong place. When I was young, I had many asthma attacks from cigarette smoke encountered in unexpected places.
The smoking bans do work for us. I remember going to Minnesota about 25 years ago, stepping off the plane, and being amazed and thrilled that there was no cigarette smoke in the airport--I could breathe and not gasp or wheeze!
But that absolutely does not mean that everyone should be inconvenienced because I had a problem. I am opposed to the smoke Nazis as much as any cigar afficionado is.
Finally, to some of the "she brought it on herself" posters on this thread:
Sometimes inhalers aren't powerful enough to fix a sudden, serious attack. Sometimes you lose or forget them. Sometimes they get clogged up and don't work.
Teenagers tend to think they're invincible, and when I was the age of this poor young lady I didn't even know it was possible to die of asthma. She may have taken the job because it worked with her school or childcare schedule. She must have thought she could handle it.
Some compassion, please, for a poor young girl who made a mistake! This forum is being taken over by the heartless.
"yet back before the smoking police came along; no one seemed bothered at all by it."
I was bothered by it, so I just didn't go into certain places.
There were certain bars I refused to go to with my hubby because I knew my eyes would water and I would feel nauseous the whole night.
I remember someone making the argument that business for bars would increase because there were so many people like me out there.
It turned out they were wrong.
Businesses have been hurting and they want their smokers back.
"Anything could have triggered her attack."
Yes...stress, a virus...somebody's perfume, allergies....
My father who lived to the age of eighty had asthma from his early teen years until his death. He smoked for years, starting as a young adult and continued to do so for the rest of his life ... except for the last 6 to 8 years. Asthma aside, he enjoyed good health all those years.
Well, I misread you then. Thank you for pointing that out as politely as you did...
As for the UN...give them time.
Nanny State Ping.
Condolences to the family of this girl. With that said I find it disgusting how the anti-smoker cartel is and will exploit this event to further their socialistic goals.
Thanks for that ... you made my Sunday
"Rosenman said the woman had asthma since age 2. Her asthma was poorly controlled."
IMHO, if she had asthma since she was 2 years old she had ample opportunity to learn to "try" to maintain and minimize any attacks. I find it hard to believe with over 16 years experience with asthma she was never informed of any, or all, potential triggers and to do her utmost to avoid them. The article alludes to her inability to control the disease but stops there. There is a reason they did not expand on that comment or mention any personal identiers. This researcher has found a case to justify his research based on his political agenda.
Good morning to you! No snow here, but we do have high winds.
I smell something fishy......
Click the Pic
I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, I'm just recognizing that we're dealing with a teeager.
And teenagers are often not the most logical creatures on the planet.
I know there have been times my hubby has misplaced his inhaler, and insurance won't refill right away (a limit on how many they cover over a certain pd. of time)
It would have been interesting, too, if the writer had bothered to look into her coverage.
It is very expensive stuff, and I could see if money was a problem - then a person might be reluctant to go through the inhaler too quickly - developing a tendency to only take a puff when you are already in trouble.
Some will say she should be canonized as the Saint of Second Hand Smoke.
I say give her a Darwin Award!

The application of CSS principles within the transportation planning process assists regions and communities reach their transportation goals by encouraging the consideration of land use, transportation, and infrastructure needs in an integrated manner. When transportation planning reflects community input and takes into consideration the impacts on both natural and human environments, it also promotes partnerships that lead to "balanced" decisionmaking. This is a core principle of CSS.
Integration of CSS in Transportation Planning Planning Process -The Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) at the North Carolina State University conducted an FHWA-sponsored research project to determine best practices associated with integrating context sensitive solutions (CSS) into the transportation planning process. An annotated bibliography includes sections on current research initiatives, and applications and policies at national, state, and regional agencies. Deliverables also include an assessment of CSS as applied to planning, a tool-kit of fact sheets, Q&As, and case studies for both States and communities. A report summary includes findings and recommendations on ways to incorporate CSS into transportation planning based on research and case study evaluations.
Frequently Asked Questions and Answers (Q&As) have been developed to highlight several illustrative approaches, techniques, and practical application examples for reflecting CSS considerations in transportation planning. These Q&As address issues such as: how CSS principles can be reflected in transportation planning; current examples for applying CSS principles in transportation planning; and the potential for CSS to help streamline transportation decisionmaking.

The Pavelec Perplexity
Cam Charron
February 23 2012 01:59PM
I don't necessarily have a bone to pick with Ondrej Pavelec, because at the start of the season if you told me that the Winnipeg Jets were going to make the playoffs, I would have told you that it would be "thanks to" and not "in spite of" the young Jets goaltender.
Pavelec has played some amazing hockey games this season, however, he's also put up some stinkers. Remarkably inconsistent, but terrifyingly fun to watch when he's at his best, Pavelec is the kind of goalie who could win you a playoff series as an underdog.
However I think that people tend to get carried away with some saves that he's made. Specifically, this one against Philadelphia:
What's great about this video is that it's not only a spectacular, out of nowhere save by Pavelec, but it isn't like it's desparation. He still pushes himself off with his skate and makes a stretching goalie motion rather than diving across the goal mouth. It's also the only time a save has been made in a Winnipeg/Philadelphia game this season.
But there's still a bit of a concern with Pavelec. A great save or a crucial save at an important time can fuzz our opinion on the quality of a goaltender, making us forget about what really matters: does the goalie make saves? If the goalie does make saves, does the goalie make more saves than a replacement-level goalie?
Before we go too far into this, let's remember that Pavelec is just 24 and really shouldn't be counted on. Yes, Marc-André Fleury won a Stanley Cup at Age 24, but he had a .912 save percentage that year and played behind one of the best two-way forward groups assembled post-lockout. Jonathan Quick was a .905 at 24 and has become a top goalie. Brian Elliott was a .910 at 24 and was an All-Star this season. So you don't need to be too worried about Pavelec's play right now (he's a .911) affecting his future, because there's still a long career ahead.
Does Pavelec make better saves than a replacement goalie? I went through every team and found goalies that weren't expected to be one of the best two goalies on their teams. Essentially, there are 20 goalies who have seen NHL action this season that were, literally, replacements.
Tallying them all up, I found that the replacements have a save percentage of .909, slightly below Pavelec's .911 (he's ahead by three goals against) and Chris Mason's .910.
Quality Starts
On a game-by-game basis, Hockey Prospectus runs with a statistic called "quality starts". A quality start is a game where a goalie stops either 91.3% of the shots faced, or allows two or fewer goals and saves 88.5%. A good goalie will maintain a quality start rate of over 55%. But in the 69 games started by replacement goaltenders this season, they've had an astonishing rate of quality starts: 58%.
Joey MacDonald, Leland Irving, Al Montoya and Ben Scrivens have all contributed to this, while only Dallas' Andrew Raycroft is a replacement goalie who has started more than twice and has a QS rate of less than 50%.
Pavelec, however, also has a 58%. So we can't really distinguish him from a replacement-level goalie that way. The opposite of quality start, the "blow up" created by Thomas Drance of the Nations' own Canucks Army, is a game where a goalie stops 84.9% or fewer of his shots, or allows 5 goals while seeing 39 or fewer shots.
"The Replacements" as we'll call them, have a high BU% of 14.5% (a real good goalie will be between 10 and 12%) but Pavelec's is much higher at 16%. That's an extra start where Pavelec's play cost his team a chance at winning than a replacement-level goalie would.
Clearly, there is a very good crop of replacement goalies this year, whether by waiver wire pick-up or minor-league call-up for a team with an injured goalie. They've been a little prone, though, costing their team every seventh game. So has Pavelec.
So while Pavelec may make some big saves every now and again, or get on the highlight reel with a wave of "Pavelectricity", his play this year has not been good enough to push Winnipeg ahead of where they could be with a shrewed waiver wire pickup.
Here's the full chart;
|Ondrej Pavelec
|Chris Mason
|The Replacements
February 23 2012, 02:43PM
Better than the QS% is over 50% and nearing 60%. Every goalie will have those stinkers, but it's against the teams you need quality starts out of that are the biggest factor. What is his difference in quality starts when pitted against teams above .500 or in a playoff spot versus teams under .500 or not in a playoff spot?
Great read!
February 28 2012, 07:49AM
It's funny, say anything bad about Pavelec around the city and the reaction will be either amazement or hostility.
Yet the numbers are clear - Pavelec is a pretty average goalie.
Enjoyed the article. Both you & Robert have been putting out a lot of good stuff without much notice.
Keep it guys.

"This is advertised as a pattern, but in fact it is instructions for making the purse patterns. I'll probably never use this as it is easier to purchase a "real" pattern than to measure every piece myself. Disappointing.

"I love this pattern!! I have made all three sizes. I love not having to work with pattern pieces, quick work with your rotary cutter and all pieces are cut. I have made two of these for gifts and both recipients are constantly asked where they got their purse. A warning should come with this pattern though-with the ease of changing the flap you will become addicted to creating more flaps-holidays, seasons the possibilities are endless!!"

Al-Qaeda: Weak But Undefeated in Pakistan
By Malik Siraj Akbar
The killing of Abu Yahya al-Libi, Al-Qaeda's second most important leader after Ayman al-Zawahri, in a drone strike in Pakistan's ungovernable tribal region clearly indicates that the global Jihadist syndicate is weak but not fully dismantled. In addition, Al-Qaeda, as shown in the latest incident, has not completely left Pakistan. Last year, I asked Pulitzer Prize winning American journalist Steve Coll what Al-Qaeda's future looked like in general and in Pakistan in particular after the killing of its chief Osama bin Laden, he predicted that Al-Qaeda would remain under pressure from the US authorities in Afghanistan and some pressure from the Pakistani security services.
Coll, who is the author of the internationally acclaimed book, Ghost Wars, said Yemen looks like the "best place" for the young al Qaeda fighters. "If I were a twenty-two year old Arab provoked by my corner mosque to fight the "Great Holy War" with 1000 bucks in my pocket," he said, "I would be interested in going to Yemen because no one is looking for you there. Al Qaeda is now in control over there in the south, as we know from published reports. They are likely to end up with significant space there. It's an Arabic speaking country where al Qaeda can be strong in the next few years."
So why does Al-Qaeda still retain some presence in Pakistan? There are still several factors attached to Pakistan's domestic politics and foreign policy which serve Al-Qaeda's interests. Drones operated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have inflicted enormous loss on Al-Qaeda in terms of killing its key leaders in Pakistan and Yemen. What still works in Pakistan in Al-Qaeda's favor is the widespread anti-drone and anti-American sentiments. Religious parties in Pakistan view the United States, not Al-Qaeda, as their country's real enemy.
While some sections of the Pakistani opinion may look at Al-Qaeda and Taliban as "bad guys" but they still find it unacceptable for the United States to kill "our bad guys". Pakistanis view drones strikes as an assault on their national sovereignty and a clear violation of a standard pattern of behavior expected of Washington as a partner in the war on terrorism. Pakistanis abhor American unilateralism against Al-Qaeda inside their territory but they also lack the capability and commitment to solely fight and defeat Al-Qaeda and its affiliates in the region.
Pakistan's official position makes it difficult to decide whether it is committed to fighting Al-Qaeda or, on the contrary, providing it a diplomatic platform to disparage anti-Al-Qaeda operations. Pakistan surprised the world over protesting the killing of Osama bin Laden and imprisoning the doctor who assisted in locating the world's most dangerous terrorist. While U.S Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, insists the fight against Al-Qaeda is "about our sovereignty" and such attacks will continue, Islamabad, on its part, has once again conveyed its "serious concerns" over the drone operations, including the one that killed Abu Yahya al-Libi. On Tuesday, Pakistan summoned the US charge d'affairs to the Foreign Office in Islamabad and warned that drone strikes would further escalate tensions between the allies, reported the Karachi-based Express Tribune.
Pakistan's official stance benefits Al-Qaeda and encourages it to continue its presence there. Authorities' unwillingness in Islamabad to view Al-Qaeda as an enemy of the Pakistani public and an equal violator of their sovereignty will further embolden Islamic radical networks to regroup and reorganize for future operations.
If Pakistan fails to wage a decisive battle at this point to permanently obliterate Al-Qaeda from its soil, it is very unlikely to do so after 2014 when most of the international troops will leave the region and Pakistan would be left alone to battle Islamic extremist groups which are bent upon overthrowing the nuclear armed nation's current fragile democratic government and replacing it with a Taliban-style theocratic system.

Spotted Fever Group (SFG) Rickettsia and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) and Pacific Coast Tick Fever (PCTF) are related infectious diseases that are transmitted to people through the bite of a tick. SFG Rickettsia can cause a fever, headache and a small open wound about ¼ inch in size that turns into a dark scab (called an eschar). A SFG Rickettsia called 364D has been recently identified from a small number of people in northern California and has been found in the Pacific Coast tick in eight counties, in both northern and southern California.
Typical symptoms of RMSF include fever, muscle aches, and a rash that often begins on the arms and legs and spreads to the rest of the body. RMSF is treatable with antibiotics. Contrary to its name, RMSF is rare in the western United States; most cases occur in the Midwest and southeastern U.S. Only one or two cases of RMSF are reported each year in California.

A leukemoid reaction is an increase in white blood cell count similar to what occurs in people with leukemia. However, the reaction is actually due to an infection or another disease and is not a sign of cancer.
Blood counts will usually return to normal when the underlying condition is treated.

North American robot orders jump 41 percent in first half of 2011
Fueled by its best quarter in six years, the North American robotics industry jumped 41 percent in the first half of 2011, according to new statistics released by Robotic Industries Association (RIA), Ann Arbor, Mich.
A total of 8,879 robots valued at $577.8 million were ordered by North American companies in the first six months of the year. When orders from outside North America are added, the totals are 10,476 robots valued at $667.9 million. "This was the best first half for our industry since 2007," said Jeff Burnstein, president of RIA.
The second quarter was particularly strong, posting gains of 50 percent in units and 55 percent in dollars over the same period in 2010.
Burnstein attributed the majority of growth to increased orders from automotive manufacturers and their suppliers, traditionally the largest customers for robotics. "With the revitalization of the auto industry in the U.S., robot orders to these customers rose 60 percent in the first half of the year," he said.
Nonautomotive orders increased 23 percent through June, led by gains in metalworking (up 70 percent).
Burnstein said the creation of a $500 million Advanced Manufacturing Partnership, which includes $70 million for a National Robotics Initiative, "could have a very positive long-term effect in keeping the U.S. a leader in robotics, both inside the factory and in a wide range of nonindustrial robotics sectors."
RIA estimates that some 205,000 robots are now used in the U.S. More than 1 million industrial robots are used worldwide.

I received my Lumia 620 today :D. My god what a sexy device this is! I'm more psyched with this, than I was with my S3!
I'll post my experiences here :), maybe even some pictures. whoop!
Update 2013-02-08:
So my first update. I've been out with it today and this is what I experienced so far with it. Please take note that most of the things are expierences compared to my samsung galaxy s3. I'll provide detail when I compare it to it.
The good:
- The phone is so god damn snappy! I heard on previous threads that it might be slower than WP7 and stuff, but coming of an s3, this is god damn fast :). No lag whatsoever
- One thing I've hated for a long time, I had the s2 and s3, is that the screen goes on really slow.. With slow I mean like 2, maybe 3, seconds to turn on. With this, it's a breath of fresh air. Some people were also complaining that screen of 620 was going on a tad slower, but not for me :)
- So, my first day without notification center, and I'm not missing it at all. Thought that it would be bad, but so far, no complaints :). The notificiations are the live tiles, so I choose that side
- The color white of the Lumia 620 is so darn sexy. HOld it in the light and it becomes a little transparant. Hold in normal light and the white is hot. Did I mention the shape of the phone is also perfect for the hand?
- The weight... I don't understand how people can complain about the weight of the phone. I'm sorry but the weight is superb. Also it's nice for a change that it fits better in the pocket than a large 4,6 inch phone
- The call quality. I've called with it a few times, and the sound is better than the s3 :). yay!
- I love the people and me hub. Nice perfect place for my facebook and stuff. Haven't come across any bad things (then again, I'm not a picture poster and stuff).
- The sound of typing is awesome :D.
- The browser is faster than my s3... the browsing of a 250 euro phone is better than the browsing of a 500 euro phone...man... :')
- One note, I love it. I made the list of the bad and good things when things came up. Nice little note taking app :)
The bad things so far:
- I'm a lefty, so when I want to send a message with normal text of whatsapp, the button is on the left... it's not the perfect place for me(can you change it? :D)
- There are no facebook groups in the people hub.. My friends have made a group on facebook to post stuff, and sadly, it's not there(or is there?)
- I'm not used to a bar that is on the bottom of the phone all the time. So I accidentally hit it everytime I try to type.. guess it's getting used to stuff.
- When you get loads of toasts messages, they will stay there pretty long time :P. YOu have to swipe them all away to get rid of them. Stacking the toast would be better.. hehe, ye ye notificaiton center.
That was about it... Man I'm really loving the experience so far :D
So I promised myself to update this page as my list of things grow, but I've got little things that I'd like to add that are pretty important :). So here they are.
The good:
- Everybody that I come across likes the looks of my phone! It certainly has the wow factor!
- Facebook on IE10 works creepily well! I haven't tried any facebook app. But as I said in my last update, I missed the groups.. And the mobile FB has them :). So I pinned a tile on my start screen: problem solved!
- Battery usage. I know I can't make a conclusion based on one day usage, but I think the battery is better than the s3's xD. It's not that I'm worried about not making the day. I'll report tonight what my findings are.
- Games. I saw a lot of game questions for this phone. Well let me put your worries to rest: They work pretty good :). I've tested several 3d games, and they work fluently. If there are requests that I test, send them and I'll try them :). So yeah, the Phone - even with these lower specs - is a nice little beast :) .
- SPOTIFY. Oh yeah! First day I got my Phone and I can use spotify! It was one of the biggest things I knew I was going to miss.. Lucky me :'). Big plus on this side! Tested it and works pretty awesome. Too bad there isn't a function to download songs offline on SD card.
- PayPal! Oh I missed PayPal so much on Android. The fact that it's available on Windows Phone will make me broke in a couple of weeks. But hey, it's worth it, no? ;)
The bad:
- The only bad thing that comes up is the worry that I'll get annoyed by not having seperate volume controls. But that is something for the future. Was listening to Spotify and turned the volume down: voila the rest was down too.. ;).
I really appreciate the likes and thanks guys, thank you! :)

Thank-you for writing this detailed review. I hope you'll continue to add to it as you use the phone more. I'm done with buying carrier-locked phones and this one looks like everything I've been wanting in a new Windows Phone. Be nice if Nokia realized there are so many Americans tired of being abused by carriers and lock-in that they should bring the phone for sale here, direct and unlocked, for the bring-your-own-phone segment.

Congratulations! Your argument is sound and points valid. Not sure about Facebook groups as I try my best not to use the network, but as for notifications and separate volume controls are big requests. I'm looking to get one for my girlfriend's younger sister.

...well here
name:Canine(seriously what goes with wantadog?)
race: shinigami(his zanpakuto is a wooden blade while it is sealed, but his shikai looks like 2 scimitar like blades with four holes in each blade that slowly turn blue. while in bankai he does not have a weapon and his kimono is bright blue with gold trim and he can make his blade materialize out of thin air, it looks like kenpachi's but its fatter.)(zanpakuto name is simply ookami, which means wolf, bankai is ao ookami which means blue wolf, I know really thought out isn't it=)
moves: his zanpakuto when it is in its sealed state can copy any attack almost perfectly as long as he's both seen it and understands how it was used. shikai: two blades that can block or deflect any move 8 times(4 for each blade) or 1 hour of fighing in his shikai. bankai: he can control light and can use that as his weapon. it is only limited by his imagination. but his main move is the billion blade barrage...(don't think that needs explaining) he also has a technique that he uses light to move and the longer he uses it the faster he goes able to go up to the speed of light but with the side affect of immense fatigue.
Characteristics/habits: hes a laid back guy who likes to sleep in trees, tries not to fight whenever possible, is more hyperactive then even Yachiru, and has a habit of giggling and laughing while he fights. he looks like a normal person with blue hair(spiky in bankai) and has blue catlike eyes(irisis are slits...not sure if explain right) hes slim like Ichigo and has a hanatoro face structure...but more badass. he wears blue jeans and a white shirt that has a big yellow smiley on it.
story: He was a soul wandering with his parents when a hollow showed up and attacked them. Ichigo was currently chasing the hollow and arrived in time to save the child, but the parents were devoured. The shock of seeing it caused his hidden soul reaper power to explode outward creating a huge crater. He was then taken to soul society where he was trained to control it. He was then recruited into the 13 court guard squads and stayed there for a few months until he got bored and escaped to the world of the living. He fought off the soul reapers that were sent to capture him with ease until 3 lieutenant's were sent to capture him. He sensed the soul reapers coming and decided to end it by taking the fight to them. After fighting them in a battle that left him drained and during which he had unlocked his shikai, he collapsed on the side of the road unconscious. He was then found by the lieutenant's he defeated earlier and was taken to soul society. will he escape?...will he learn how to use bankai...will he finally be able to relax for 10 minutes...probably not

Despite windfall, Metropolitan Water plans to raise ratesJune 19th, 2013, 2:57 pm by KEEGAN KYLE
Greater demand for water supplies, recent rate hikes and unexpected one-time savings have created a vast pile of spare cash at Metropolitan Water, Southern California's largest water district.
But don't get too excited. Water ratepayers across the region won't see a refund check in their mailboxes or any immediate relief to their water bills as a result.
The water district plans to spend about $75 million, keep $474 million in a reserve account and continue a planned 5 percent hike in water rates next year.
That decision was made earlier this month by officials at the influential Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. The agency sells drinking water to public retailers, who then re-sell it to roughly 19 million people.
Most of the district's 37 board members voted to support the plan. Those in attendance representing water ratepayers in Santa Ana, Fullerton and elsewhere in Orange County joined the majority.Read the rest of this entry »

blaineo, looks really good. You can use whichever method of design you choose.
Ok its getting there. I have still got lots to do to it like the back ground etc. Kurogane`s face went a bit strange when I scanned it. I can hopefully finnish it by the end of today.
I posted my banner. I got a bit mixed up with the size, I counted in that blue bar at the top. I hope its still ok though.

Just Okay
"I didn't particularly care for this shoe and have been disappointed in Zigi Soho lately. I guess it just wasn't my style. The sling-back made my foot look short and stubby (wide) so if you wear a larger size shoe this effect may be perfect!! I returned the 3 I ordered. Its a fabric shoe with kinda of muted colors. I just thought it was kinda blah."

"I was so excited to open the shipment. I bought size 9 in blue and they fit perfectly! I love the pure blue color. The heel is not high or low, very comfortable height. I just wish the sole had a little more cushioning. I have not worn it out yet so I am not sure if the heel strap is gonna create any blisters later. I wish I had the mint color as well."

Open Forum -- St Joseph & Papal Inauguration Day!
By Rebecca Teti
Tuesday: Open Forum
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
This is the Open Forum Coffee Talk. That means ... anything goes. Ask a question, make a suggestion, share a story, offer some advice -- the floor is yours!
We have been blessed with a new Papa. In general, I think that secular media has treated our traditions and His Holiness with a great deal of respect. Refreshing!
This is very encouraging! A good start with a new Pope.
Almost forgot! Have a blessed Feast of St. Joseph!
Wonderful news for today's inaugural Mass...the Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, Bartholomew I, will attend Pope Francis's inaugural Mass. This is the first time such an event occurs since the Catholic-Orthodox split in 1054, an important sign for Christian unity! A blessed Feast Day of St. Joseph to all!
I am thrilled about the new pope. My children were excited at the white smoke and I lifted the no TV Lenten sacrifice so we could watch such an important occasion. I need some guidance, however, with my preteen daughter. There is a talent show at school and she wants to perform a song. The problem is she cannot sing. Some kids already make fun of her. She sees too many others singing and being overly dramatic and wants to be an actress/singer, etc. The trappings of fame/fortune, I suppose. Sigh. I want so much more for her. I keep trying to play up her other strengths and the academic side of things but she just keeps on dreaming of "stars." I really do not want her to go up and embarrass herself and I really do not want to tell her she can't. Her feelings would be crushed. I thought about scraping together some money to have a professional tell her but that could backfire on me, too, in a few ways. So any advice? My heart is so heavy with this matter.
Oh Mean Mommy, your name suggests you are truely too hard on yourself:-) have you tried video taping your daughter performing, maybe say its in preparation for the big day? I'd like to hear what other parents think but remembering being a preteen myself, I really think I could have benefited from learning my own mistakes more often. Yes, sometimes teasing can be detrimental so I'll let you decide where the line is but it kind of sounds like she has all the self confidence in the world to overcome it. Good luck and God Bless!
Mean Mommy, I am a professional. I have met very, very few people over the years who truly cannot sing, but if I had a dime for every person I've met who thought they couldn't sing because some (usually) well-meaning person told them so, I could take you out for coffee and we could discuss this. Does she have a music teacher at school who would coach her a bit? Or would she be willing to take piano lessons to help her with ear training and basic musicality? A lot of voice teachers don't take students younger than 15 so you may or may not be able to find a voice teacher even if you look, but there are still things she can do. Recording her and asking her to watch and critique herself are very good things to do as well. I guess what I'm saying is, please, please, don't tell her she can't sing because unless she has issues that 99% of people don't have, she just needs a lot more practice.
I don't know if it will help, but Matt Archbold had a lovely piece about the talent show at his kids' school (where all the kids can do something if they want to - no tryouts - and his son did a cartwheel). Might help to see which of his kids' reactions with not being in the show describes your dd and go from there.
Hi Mommy, I agree that you should NOT tell her she can't sing...unless you are a professional/judge for voice. You should challenge her to do her best, and be her biggest cheerleader! Get the video camera out, practice a few {or many} times so she feels that she did her best for the talent show and pray that it goes well!
Ideas for self-defense courses for Mommy and older teens? I checked into Brazilian street-fighting {Jiu Jitsu or something like that} and I can see the need for it. However. Perhaps I'm just squeamish about wrestling on the floor with people I hardly know, to get to learn about how to get away from an attacker...help?
Mean Mommy, I thought for a moment you were writing about my daughter! Same age, same belief in her own singing ability. We had a bit of a setback a couple of weeks ago. She tried out for the lead in the school spring musical -- not only did she not get the lead, she did not even get a real part. She was assigned to the vague "ensemble." She was SO unhappy for a day or so but she got over it and is now just having fun attending rehearsals and learning the dance steps. I'd say, let your daughter sing! The audience will applaud her courage. Or, is there anything else your daughter can do? My wannabe-a-singer daughter happens to be an excellent hula hooper, and has done hooping routines at talent shows and coffee houses. That gets her the applause she craves. Good luck! This is so hard.
Mean Mommy - I think people here are ignoring one point you made. You said you think your daughter might only be interested in the celebrity allure of singing. This is pretty common for young people. Turn off American Idol and try to rid your home of other pop culture influences. Expose her to different types of activities and hobbies. Then see if she still wants to focus on singing or whether she develops another talent or interest. If she still wants to sing, get her some lessons.
Thanks, everyone for your input. It means so much. I cannot afford singing lessons right now or even piano. But I think you're all right that I should keep my mouth shut. I will encourage her performance and try to guide her to picking the best song for her "range." (For what little I know) And while we don't watch Idol or such shows, I'll try and just get her to focus on herself and not what she sees others do on youtube. (Does the whole world have to download everything they do?!) And, Anne, my daughter seems as resilient as your daughter seems. I am going to encourage this instead of just "hmmm, that's nice dear." She needs me to stand by her and support her. Anna, I'm going to check out the link, thanks. Alice, solid words. My dd's name is Alice so I consider it a clear message sent through you. Katherine, I'm getting the old video camera out. There's going to be a LOT of practicing going on, I'm sure. I feel so much better, ladies. God bless and thank you!!
Mean Mommy- I think you have gotten a lot of great advice so far. The only thing I will add is that I remember my 7th grade year very well. I was socially awkward and didn't really fit in with any crowd. Kids that age are brutal - especially girls. My parents let me make some mistakes but they were not too far away and they caught me when I fell. When no one liked me, my dad told me that I was beautiful and that what was happening then and there was not important in the long run. He told me that if I kept following my heart and worked hard that I would succeed in life and that was what was important. BTW, he had to tell me this multiple times through junior high and high school. But, I can't tell you, in retrospect, just how important that was...
My whole life, my mom told me I could not sing. I was crushed everytime she said it, because I *wanted* to sing. It was just FUN. Fastforward about ten years and I decided to quietly enroll myself in professional voice lessons during college. It was hard to start singing again after being so crushed as a kid... but ya know what? All it took were some lessons. I learned how to take deep breaths and project my timid voice and it made ALL the difference. Suddenly I was singing! And it has been SUCH a joy for me to sing with every parish I've joined over the years!! So, please please please don't tell your daughter she can't sing. Most people "can't" offer professional-quality ANYTHING without some lessons. Why do people expect that of the human singing voice?! No one would judge a person's piano playing skills based on their proficiency BEFORE taking a lesson! Yet so few people are such naturals that they can do amazing things without having to take a few classes, lessons, etc. Encourage her to save up her money for voice lessons someday & in the meantime maybe she can still join your church's choir. That may put the focus on Christ and not the limelight. Singing is so FUN, its a shame the bad rap it can get as being for "celebs" only. :( St. Augustine says he who sings prays twice!!
:) Glad to be of service. As a church choir director, I want to second unknown's suggestion of church choir if your church has one. If your church doesn't have a children's choir or she is too old, talk to the director. I've always tried to make sure that people who want to sing can even if they were at an in between age or we didn't have enough children for a children's choir that year.
Hi Mean Mommy! Sorry to be jumping in a few days late. I want to address a side issue you mentioned that I don't think (skimming quickly) was really touched on. I have a bit of the opposite problem of yours. My daughter is a very talented singer and has been told so since she was very young. This has resulted in something of an overabundance of confidence and now, as an 11 year old, dreams of fame and fortune ala Taylor Swift. One thing that has really helped both us is frank discussions about why and what we sing. Do we sing to glorify God and his creation or to glorify ourselves? This leads into discussions of modesty on stage, etc. Hope this helps some.
Becky Le, thanks for the heads up. I hadn't really thought to discuss that with her.

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Stephen Jackson may have deleted the tweet in which he threatened Oklahoma City forward Serge Ibaka on Friday, but it's $25,000 of his earnings that will be disappearing.
After Ibaka became the latest NBA player to make the ill-advised decision to challenge Lakers small forward Metta World Peace in a game on Friday night when the two players had a brief altercation, Jackson - who is forever linked to the player formerly known as Ron Artest because of their roles as Indiana Pacers teammates in the 2004 "Malice at the Palace" brawl in Detroit - came to his defense via social media.
"Somebody tell serg Abaka. He aint bout dis life," Jackson wrote on his account. "Next time he run up on me im goin in his mouth. That's a promise. He doin 2 much."
Jackson had later apologized to Ibaka, the NBA and the league's fans on his Twitter account, but the NBA announced on Sunday that he would still be fined $25,000. The Spurs condemned Jackson's message in a statement.
"The recent public comments made by Stephen Jackson are absolutely unacceptable, can not be tolerated and do not reflect the standards held by the San Antonio Spurs," Spurs General Manager RC Buford said in a statement.
Jackson spent much of the week seeing his past and present collide in the worst of ways, as his provocative comments to ESPN's Chris Palmer in a recent Q&A drew criticism because he was quoted as saying he "definitely enjoyed" punching a fan on that infamous Nov. 19, 2004 night in Detroit. Jackson later claimed that his comments were "misprinted," in the story.

"It forever needs pointing out that it is small businesses, not big businesses, not big box stores, that employ the majority of working Utahans and generate almost every new job," said Candace Daly, Utah state director for the National Federation of Independent Business, the Voice of Small Business. "These pillars of their communities feed the families of their employees while operating on the thinnest of profit margins, so any little boost they receive, tens of thousands of others benefit from."
NFIB helped launch the campaign to "shop small" on the Saturday after Thanksgiving in 2010. Since then, millions of Americans have spent billions of dollars in small and independent firms and stores during the holiday season. Research conducted in partnership with American Express found that consumers who were aware of Small Business Saturday spent a total of $5.5 billion.
Ronnie Pastrami's Deli & Catering in St. George is one of the many small businesses nationally that is taking advantage of NFIB's offer to post its information and special offers on its website and on Facebook. Participating businesses across the nation can be found on the NFIB website..
"Small-business owners contribute to their communities all year long by creating jobs, providing unparalleled products and services, and keeping communities economically vibrant," said NFIB President and CEO Dan Danner. "Small Business Saturday is an opportunity for each of us to give back, to invest some of our hard-earned dollars into Main Street. This has the potential to have economic benefits locally and nationally. I encourage every American to shop small this coming Saturday."

so about the dragon slayers, cross was saying that there will be many DS coming up..which contradicts the plot in FT that the dragons are rare and disappearing.
i have yet to analyze his theory that there are fake DS's that will appear, come to think of it, i wouldnt waste my brain cells doing so. lol.
crystal dragon? this is interesting, what do you think will be the powers of this DS?what future dragon slayers do u think we wil see and are they old school or orb user?
i think we wil see an water dragon slayer (old school)
i also think we may se a crystal dragon slayer (orb)
so about the fture DS, im guessing zombie dragon or bone dragon... they will be the main villain.
i have a legit question.
Wendy was raised by the sky/wind dragon.. her main magic is the wind and also she has healing powers right? (when she healed jellal, troia..). Right.
QUESTION: are these factors of the DS powers they have? so can we assume or expect that natsu and gajeel also has some extra/latent abilities? [like cause berserk or something..]
