PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Canisius senior guard Billy Baron hit the game-winning 3-pointer as the final horn sounded to help lift the Golden Griffins to an 86-85 win over Elon in the second game of the NIT Season Tip Off Tuesday night in The RAC in Piscataway, N.J. The Griffs scored the game's last nine points to secure the win and end their two-game losing streak. Canisius is now 2-2 on the year.
Canisius trailed Elon by eight points at 85-77 before Baron hit a pair of free-throws with 1:51 left on the clock to make the score 85-79. On Elon's next trip up the floor, redshirt sophomore Kevin Bleeker got a steal and the Griffs raced down the court and missed two shots before Bleeker tipped in an offensive rebound with his left hand to make the game a four-point affair at 85-81 with 1:16 left to play. After another Elon turnover, Canisius had the ball but was called for an offensive foul. Out of a Canisius timeout, senior guard Chris Perez ripped the ball away from Elon's Ryley Beaumont and laid it into the bucket to cut the Elon cushion to 85-83.
Elon (2-3) had the ball and took a 30-second timeout with 26 seconds left, but again the Canisius defense was up to the task, as junior Jeremiah Williams swiped the ball away from Elon's Luke Eddy, forcing it went out-of-bounds. Baron casually strolled up the floor with 10 seconds left on the clock and pulled up for the game-winning 3-pointer with less than a second left to play. Baron's shot, his only made 3-pointer on the night, hit nothing but net as the final horn sounded, and Canisius left the floor with its third victory of five-points or less in its last six games, dating back to last season.
Baron scored a team-high 21 points in the win for Canisius after he went 6-for-12 from the field, 1-for-4 from 3-point land and 8-for-9 from the free-throw line to go with six rebounds, four assists and two steals. Perez added 17 points and three steals, while senior Chris Manhertz chipped in nine points in seven minutes of action before fouling out of the contest. Redshirt freshman Phil Valenti scored a career-high nine points to go with five rebounds and Bleeker posted eight points, three rebounds, an assist and a steal in 18 minutes off the bench.
"This was a great bounce-back win for us," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. "I thought our guys off the bench gave us some great minutes and energy tonight. That's a team that's picked to win their league, and our guys came in off the bench with fresh legs and really gave a great effort. This is a solid, hard-fought team win."
Canisius led by five points at 56-51 with 15:29 left to play in regulation time before the Phoenix went on an 18-2 run over the span of 5:32 to help Elon take a 69-58 lead. Canisius fought back and trailed by just five at 76-71 after Baron hit a fall-away jumper from just outside the paint with 6:10 left to play, but Elon responded and stretched its hold back to as many as eight points with 2:43 left to play.
Canisius shot 57.7 percent from the field in the win and held a 36-32 advantage on points scored in the paint. The Griffs collected 10 assists on the night, with Williams adding a career-high three to the winning cause, and the Blue and Gold turned 15 Elon turnovers into 18 points. The Phoenix shot 45.6 percent from the floor, 47.4 percent from 3-point land and 88.9 percent from the free-throw line, while holding a 34-25 advantage on the boards. Troutman and Eddy combined to score 46 of their team's 85 points on the night, as both players had 23 points apiece, and Tanner Samson (16 points) and Beaumont (14 points) also scored in double figures for the Phoenix.
Canisius will learn its next opponents and playing site in the consolation round of the NIT Season Tip Off after the NIT committee reviews the field. An announcement is expected sometime Wednesday afternoon.Game Notes: Canisius is now 2-0 all-time against Elon… The win improves the Griffs to 2-2 all-time in the NIT Season Tip Off… The Griffs went to the free-throw line 34 times, a season high… Baron played all 40 minutes for the first time this season… Perez's three steals are a season-high and one shy of tying his pervious career best, set when he played for Stetson… Canisius shot 70.8 percent from the field in the game's first 20 minutes… The game featured 10 ties and seven lead changes.

Telus profit lifted by wireless; dividend raised
(Reuters) - Telus Corp reported a stronger third-quarter profit on Friday, as increased smartphone adoption boosted earnings from its wireless business and spurred the Canadian telecom company to raise its quarterly dividend.
Wireless data revenue jumped 23 percent in the third quarter ended September 30 as the proportion of postpaid subscribers using smartphones rose to 63 percent, from 48 percent a year earlier.
The Vancouver-based company, one of Canada's largest telecom players, raised its quarterly dividend to 64 Canadian cents a share, from 61 Canadian cents.
In a report to clients, Desjardins Capital Markets analyst Maher Yaghi said Telus' quarterly results and dividend increase were in line with expectations.
"Telus continues to post strong wireless results, which more than offset the decline in the profitability of the wireline business," he said. "The company should continue to attract dividend growth-seeking investors."
Telus said it added some 116,000 postpaid wireless subscribers in the quarter. Rogers Communications' has said its postpaid customer base grew by 76,000, and BCE Inc, Canada's largest telecom company, added 148,502 net postpaid customers.
The number of new postpaid subscribers is watched closely, because they often enter into multi-year contracts and pay more than prepaid customers.
The average Telus wireless customer paid C$61.42 each month in the quarter, 90 Canadian cents more than a year earlier, as growth from data more than offset declining revenue from voice services.
Telus' net income rose to C$351 million ($351 million), or C$1.07 per diluted share, in the quarter from C$326 million, or C$1.00 per share, a year earlier. Continued...

What Are Your Favorite Feminist Resources?
So, as I have mentioned before, I'm writing a book and I want to include the FBomb community in any way I can in accomplishing that task. In fact, you guys already helped me title it and everything.
Well, GOOD NEWS! I found another way to involve everybody. I want to include a "resources" page at the end of the book, in order to direct readers who are new to the feminist movement towards great feminist books, blogs, organizations, movies etc. so that they can further their feminist immersion. And who better to ask about sources of great feminist enlightenment than the readers of the FBomb?!
I've already thought of a few, so I'll kick it off with a few examples:

"Recently moved so order these pretty address labels. Was very pleased with them. The labels I ordered are simple, elegant, modern, traditional but everyday useful. Delivery was very quick, arrived 3 days after I ordered. Will be ordering from Tiny Prints again in the near future."
"These labels came quickly and packaging was protected great. They were very easy to order , instructions were clear! Nice quality labels and was perfect for a New Home Gift!"
"These labels are just what I was looking for to notify our family and friends of our new address. My husband and I have one son who is 13 months old, so the family in the image does represent our family. They arrived earlier than expected."
"These traditional return address labels are very elegant and have a touch of an era gone by. At first I thought the dark outer border would be too much and make the label look heavy, but half of the label stays with the paper, so the size is less thick. I really love these labels and will get some more for the Holidays"
"I like the top part of this design where I typed my nephew's and niece's nicknames, it becomes the focal part of the sticker. I ordered two labels, one pink for my niece and one blue for my nephew. The colors stand out and I wasn't disappointed with it. I like the shade of each and the simplicity of the font. Also, the delivery is fast! It was scheduled to arrive on 05/28 but I got it today, 05/22. Awesome!"

March 24: Political Purpose and the Economy L166 Politics is in large part about the distribution of the resources of the world, a nation, and a region among the competing interests within these domains. This is the core question of economics: satisfying infinite demand with finite resources. This turns on how resources and rewards distributed win an economy in the broad through the relative role of the market. It also turns on beliefs about the size and nature of the role of the state within the economy. Should the market be king? Is there such a thing as market failure? What is the role of public goods in the market? What taxes are necessary to pay for those public goods? What is the responsibility of the state for those who cannot compete in the market including the role and magnitude of social safety nets? And how are these policy beliefs anchored in the foundational values discussed in the previous week? Suggested Reading: you are also invited to analyze and critique two long-from essays I wrote, first as Leader for the Opposition entitled "Brutopia" the second as Prime Minister entitled "The Global Financial Crisis" which outline my conclusions on these questions.

10:00 a.m., CDT - Impact of Globalization on the U.S. Food Supply
As the United States continues to import increasingly more of its food from developing nations, we are putting ourselves at greater risk of foodborne disease as many of these countries do not have the same sanitary standards for production, especially in the case of seafood and fresh produce. Additionally, prudent use of antibiotics is not practiced in many countries supplying foods, such as seafood and produce, to the United States.

The pent-up demand for cloud computing in Japan seems to have grown almost exponentially in recent months. We have been working with Japanese customers and partners for years and now that a public cloud is available (the new EC2 Tokyo region) we are ready for the floodgates to open! We've formed a RightScale subsidiary in Japan with local employees which we officially announced today, and we're also in the midst of localizing the dashboard as this screen shot below shows:
We're also working on localizing our support section, starting with the tutorials:
Over the past years we've seen RightScale spread globally in two stages: first, because RightScale is a web-based SaaS platform our user base spread globally and customers joined from all over the world to manage cloud resources which were initially only in the US. Then, as Amazon introduced EC2 regions around the world, RightScale users started to manage cloud infrastructure across the globe from anywhere in the world - really unprecedented. This trend is now accelerating with new providers gearing up to provide differentiated cloud offerings that we will be supporting. We've certainly seen a lot of interest in that direction in Japan and in Asia in general.
If you're interested in the details of our Japanese offerings, please contact Yosuke Shindo via firstname.lastname@example.com. He will also demo the localized version of the RightScale dashboard at the RightScale seminar that is scheduled in Tokyo on March 8. The seminar will be followed by the RightScale Japan (RightScale KK) Launch Party.

In Rob Reiner's 1984 "rockumentary," This Is Spinal Tap, one of the main characters, Nigel Tufnel, proclaims that they are different than other bands because their amplifiers "go to ll." (You have to watch this clip if you don't know what I am talking about).
What a perfect analog of how B2B companies are trying to differentiate themselves today. I have the opportunity to work with sales and marketing professionals on the topic of competitive preference, and here are some actual quotes from vendors about how they think they separate themselves from "other blokes":
Translation? "These go to 11."
You know the show MythBusters?
Forrester's Sales Enablement team is testing the conventional wisdoms of sales and marketing by asking executive level buyers what they think.
So, does "11" differentiate you? No.
Posted by Scott Santucci on June 1, 2010
Why are sales and marketing professionals seemingly in a constant firefighting mode, moving from one fire drill to the next, one meeting to another? We are in the middle of a major transformation in the B2B sales model. Your company is caught between a rock and a hard place because your investors want to see accelerated growth and improved margins. However, your customers have the same pressures, and all have some form of enterprise-wide strategic procurement initiatives under way. Your goal: sell at a higher price. Their goal: buy only what they need at the lowest possible price. Something has to give.
In response to these tectonic forces, we find many companies have a variety of internal projects designed to combat the commoditization trend. Some common efforts include:

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Re: How large of an outboard motor do I need?
Great posts, thanks for the information!
My 2 cents:
On my 1974 CAL 21, I had a 9.9 Yamaha 4 stroke, was too much weight and too much power but good for long distance. Then I tried electric 34 lbs trust trolling motor, got for getting in and out of the harbor but lousy in headwind conditions. I now have an old '68 Mercury 2 stroke 6 HP and it gets me in and out for the harbor and I sail West Coast Ocean (Dana Point, CA) and I have plenty of power to move 4 adults and 2 kids in case of fog or emergency returns. Personally I wold not go any bigger than 5 HP.
I am looking to get a 2.5-3.5 HP in the future since I rather save weight on the boat, since even the 6 HP motor is a lot of weight on the boat in the water and on the trailer. I trailer 1 hr trough mountains, so I want to keep it light.
Hope that helps a bit. Happy Sailing!
I have a 9.8hp Tohatsu on my Cal T/4
My 9.8hp 2 stroke Tohatsu is working great on my Cal T/4. I think it is at the top end of the size of motors I would put on this 24' boat. It gets me in and out of Pearl Harbor with ease. My friend has a 24' McGregor that has a 4hp Yamaha 4 stroke and it also works well coming in and out of Pearl Harbor. I would think that a 5.5 would do well on the Cal 20. I would see if it is a 20" or 25" shaft because the 25" shaft will stay in the water better that the 20" if you get into any large swells. I have the 20" shaft with a lift up motor mount. I can set it down on the lowest position and do fine but my friend's has a fixed mount and his motor will come up out of the water some times.
cal 21 shaft length
Seriously looking at a cal 21. I am interested in any feedback or advice you have to offer. I have a wife and small children that will sail with me. I also want to be able to singlehand on a nearby lake, but later able to go to the gulf of mexico(by trailer) . Would like to be able to camp on it overnight,etc. Is there another boat you suggest, or is the cal21 as good as I hear.
Also looking at a tanaka 5.5. is that too much or not enough motor for this boat. and what shaft length sould I go for ?
medplusal at gmail.com
I have a 5 hp Nissan on my T/4 that can propel me at approximately 5 to 5.5 knots. It does fine for sailing in the Puget Sound and the fuel consumption is real low. The motor came with the boat when we bought it and it has the 20" shaft. I installed the tilt up motor mount and still wish I had the 25" shaft (UL for ultra long) just to get the prop lower in the water. If someone walks to the bow the prop can come out of the water. I have two options, buy the 5" extension kit for the lower unit for about $250 plus 2 hours labor to install or save my money and buy the 6 hp ultra long shaft model which comes with a charging system for my house battery for $ 1450. If you look for Nissan outboards you might look at Tohatsu outboards too. As far as I can tell they are the same outboards just with a different brand name.
Good luck,
|Elvin - This is a used motor...
Why do you ask?
Well I had my brother buy it for me and ship it with the rest of my house hold goods. I am prior military and only shipped half of my house hold good here to Hawaii and stored the rest. I knew I was going to ship the rest over so I had him buy it and send it with the rest of my stuff. Why do you want to know? Is there some sort of problem with this?
|How in the world did you get a 2-stroke 9.8 in Hawaii? They haven't been available for import to the U.S. for five years.
Let me first say it has been great receiving all the advice and information on what type and size of outboard motor I should put on my Cal T/4. Thanks to all of you. I have purchased a Tohatsu 9.8hp, 2 stroke with a 20 shaft. I looked over everyones posting and did a lot of research online and decided that for the power vs weight a 2 stroke engine was the way to go. Yes, I know that a 4 stroke is more dependable and you dont have to mix the oil and gas together. If I wanted something that was easy I would have purchased a power boat instead of a sailboat. The price of a 2 stroke vs a 4 stroke was also a factor but not that big a factor. I can lift the 2 stroke fairly easily in and out of the motor mount without any help and the pull start seamed easier than the 4 stroke. I guess that it will take some time before I find out if I made a good decision. Mahalo again for all of your advice.
If I can put in my 2 cents:
I would go with a 2.5 HP (get 4 stroke for easy maintenance), all you need if you just planing in using in getting it in and out of the harbor. But if you plan to go further distance, may want to go bigger.
I have a Cal 21 w/ a 9.9 HP, way too much power and way too much weight, that's why I am selling it and getting a 2 or 2.5 HP.
My 2 cents.....LOL.
Good luck

|you need the poly control arm bushings more than anything else. Do that first and see where you are.
maybe you should take a stock passanger side motor mount bracket: slot the holes where it attaches to the frame, see if the bottom mount will line up better, weld a washer to the passanger bracket so it will stay in place (or something?), and then try it out.
I broke my trans bracket once; I think it happened when I swapped mounts, because I had it in too much of a bind.
|i have always thought that my alignment of my motor is incorrect due to it is so hard to get the dogbone mount to line up to change it.. but even with the dog bone mount out i can not move it by hand.. now when it is broken i cannot get on it due to the whole engine and everything shakes really bad so i have to baby it to get it home.. and maniac i disagree with it being a blessing.. here is the way i see it.. the probelm is still to weak of other problems with other things.. i am pushing close to 5x the power out of this car than comes stock right.. so my goal is to make the parts so that the parts can handle the power.. otherwise what is the point of having that kind of power.. that is the reason i didnt push the power higher.. i cant hook up what i have.. so until i can hook up the 408whp and 415wtq i will not go higher.. but i keep breaking this part and other cars in my power are not.. the only thing i can see different is either my driving.. or the amount of tq i have.. most people even at my power level done have my tq.. so its investigation time.. and possible fabrication time so this is no longer a problem...
|Guys not everything breaks parts will hold up to the power and be perfectly fine. but see if you can get a in car view of how you drive, might be a problem might not
All three mounts are to blame. The dog bone mount happens to be the one to break first, which means the other two must have a significant amount of play to allow for the additional flexing when the dog bone mount breaks and he's able to keep driving.
If he only makes the dob bone mount solid with the other two squish and they permit flex, then he'll just bust the bracket again and again.
Make all 3 solid and don't look back.
Don't leave a weak link.
breaking the bracket might actually be a blessing. that part was made to be the weak link for a reason. thats why it is so cheap to replace. im not saying that $40 doesnt add up after awhile but you need to think. if you strengthen that to a level to where it is literally unbreakable then what is the next weak link in line? the transmission case itself. im pretty sure that costs more than $40 to replace. your idea about using half a dozen places around the engine and tranny to brace it might work fine if it evenly distributes the load but i would be careful with that. im not sure if i would go quite that far just yet.
ive been thinking about this a pretty good bit since yesterday. there has to be something causing the engine/tranny to twist more than it should. especially since you have already verified that people with nearly identical and higher power numbers than yours are going out and launching harder and pushing their cars harder without breaking that part. there is something specific to your car that is not right and is causing this problem and adding more parts to the car that are not present in other setups that work probably wont solve it. im not saying that traction bars wont help but i doubt they will stop it completely. you know you have a small amount of adjustment with the top motor mounts where you can scoot the engine around the bay an inch or two in any direction... maybe they arent aligned properly. or another possibility might be with the dogbone mount itself. you said you have torn up the bushings in the dogbone on several occasions and that they are poly bushings. has one or both of the bushings in the dogbone been torn up every time you've broken the bracket? if so then the engine would have about an inch or two of free play where it can snap back and forth along a break/crack in the bushing and that snapping motion would be most severe on a hard launch or when changing gears hard. i did this on one occasion and it was the only intellectual solution i could draw because after i fixed the mount i never had the problem again. get into contact with top speed. they are developing solid motor mounts. see if you can snag a solid dog bone from them and try it then. if you still break the bracket then at least you know that isnt your problem and im sure if you wanted you could turn around and sell the mount for as much as you have in it. there are always people on here who are asking for solid motor mounts.
|Honestly on my 1.9 60ft I didn't preload or anything. I let the clutch out slow until I feel it grab and then let it out pretty fast. My next dragstrip I will be much more aggressive and on the 2-step
|so what do you do to get it out of the whole that quick and not break stuff.. you not too far behind my power level.. and i have broken these parts on the low setting which you are higher than my low setting.. i mean i preload the drive train and that seems to help a bit but it still breaks.. alot.. i think its mainly when i go from 1st to 2nd..
|my down pipe is right in the way of the middle bar.. and i dont want to change my down pipe.. the way it is run i have cold ac and good spool time on the turbo.. i love the way it performs.. its perfect in my opinion.. just need more traction..and it would be cheaper for me to modify the traction bars..

Helping students of all abilities instills pride in Joanne Riker
ROCHESTER — Using the appeal and fellowship of sports, a special education teacher at Spaulding High School created a new program which brings students together and instills a sense of pride all around.
Joanne Lynn Riker, 31, who lives in Dover with her husband, Steve, and their new son, Carter, said she's especially proud to see varsity athletes team up and interact with her students — who have varying levels of physical or developmental challenges — as they play soccer, basketball and volleyball in the unified sports program, which is sanctioned by the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA).
Most importantly, Riker said the partnership they build on the court transcends a mere game and is evident as teammates — who may not have had a chance to know each other — meet and greet others wearing their "game day jerseys" throughout the school day. She added other students who aren't in the program take notice of the positive relationship when a varsity athlete gives a teammate with moderate or severe disabilities a high-five in the hallway.
"These kids will always have their disabilities, but the social aspect is key," Riker said, adding as a result of the program many students learn to accept or overcome their issues — on the court, in class and eventually in life.
Riker said she sees the same sense of partnership and accomplishment in students who take part in the Collaborative Languages program, which she helped create during her second year as a teacher. She added the program allows students to interact and practice Spanish together, which has a long-lasting impact.
"Retention is a huge part of disabilities, but they can have a conversation in Spanish months later," Riker said.
Riker, who grew up in Portsmouth and graduated from Traip Academy in Kittery, Maine, went onto Fitchburg State College, where she played varsity softball and basketball while earning a degree in communication studies and graphic design.
After working with kindergarten students as a paraprofessional for four years, Riker said she earned her teaching certificate in special and elementary education from Granite State College and was hired as a special education teacher last year.
Riker said her greatest challenge is finding enough time to be with her students while juggling all the paperwork.
"There's a lot to do in the day," Riker said, adding she currently is overseeing about 40 people in the department.
While she previously coached boys' varsity tennis, girls junior varsity basketball and was an assistant coach for girls varsity softball at Spaulding, Riker said she plans to take a year off since her son was born Jan. 4.
Currently, Riker is out on maternity leave for three months as she cares for Carter. Additionally, she's taking online classes with Grand Canyon University and expects to earn a masters of education administration degree next year.
Riker, who is proud of all the students who work to overcome their disabilities, said she learned perseverance from her mother, Aila Pratt, who is a two-time breast cancer survivor.
"She was originally diagnosed when she was 29 years old and I was a baby and then diagnosed again when I was a senior in high school," Riker said. While she doesn't recall the first time, when she was only a year old, Riker said she remembers her mother's struggle well when she was 17.
"She has always had a positive outlook and took care of her family first and foremost," Riker said "I truly admire her and her attitude."
As a result, Riker said she was glad to take part in the annual Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Walk, in which she traveled 20 miles a day on foot and helped her team raise more than $20,000.
Special education coordinator Lori Gay said Riker is very dedicated and ensures each student has every opportunity to achieve success at Spaulding.
"With every student, Jo shows her compassion and enthusiasm for helping her students achieve success," Gay said, adding it was apparent from the beginning that Riker is an amazing educator.
"They are very lucky to have such a devoted advocate on their side," Gay said.

Riverside South
The 56-acre 60th Street Railyard represented one of the last large tracts of undeveloped land on Manhattan and, as such, attracted numerous proposals for redevelopment over the years:
Riverside Park South
A long, inclined path and a stairway lead from Riverside Boulevard down to the old pier area that became Riverside Park South.
West 70th Street, Freedom Place
Lincoln Towers was a massive "Tower in the Park" urban renewal project completed in 1964. Freedom Place ran along the hill above the railyard between West 70th and West 66th Streets. With the building of Riverside South on fill on the east side of the railyard, Freedom Place became a pleasant retail thoroughfare, although the eastern Lincoln Towers side still presents a forbidding wall to the street typical of that era's construction.
240 Riverside Boulevard - The Heritage
West 71st Street
West 71st Street used to be a quiet residential street of older walkups and apartment buildings that dead ended at the Miller Highway. The road was extended west to Riverside Boulevard when 240 RSB was built, although movable barrier poles prevent it from becoming a noisy through street into Riverside South.
220 Riverside Boulevard
200 Riverside Boulevard
180 Riverside Boulevard
160 Riverside Boulevard
140 Riverside Boulevard
120 Riverside Boulevard
ABC-TV has a studio on West 66th Street that predates Riverside South and that used to have a nice view of the railyard. 120 Riverside Boulevard took care of that.
100 Riverside Boulevard - The Avery
80 Riverside Boulevard - The Rushmore
West End Avenue
The west side of West End Avenue between 70th and 66th Streets is occupied by Lincoln Towers. Although new buildings between 66th and 59th Streets and between West End Avenue and the railyard cropped up around the same time as the Riverside South behind them to the west, I'm not sure they are technically part of the Riverside South Development.

General Motors has decided to discontinue funding of the Heartland Institute, an organization that downplays the risks of climate disruption, three weeks after GM Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson was asked about it during a Climate One radio interview. GM spokesman Dave Barthmuss confirmed the move yesterday.
Hours before Mr. Akerson went on stage March 7th at The Commonwealth Club in San Francisco to record the interview before a live audience of about 200 people, several questions were submitted via Facebook about GM's financial support of the Heartland Institute, a Chicago-based group that advocates free market ideas. Climate One is the sustainability project of The Commonwealth Club of California, a non-profit and non-partisan public forum.
This question was posted from Bruce:
"Please ask Mr. Akerson why GM funds the Heartland Institute, a group that has tried to push misinformation about climate change into our public schools. Is this funding consistent with their company's message in marketing of the Chevy Volt?"
That sounded fair game. So during the hour-long conversation I posed that question to Mr. Akerson. His response made it clear he accepts the scientific consensus that rising concentrations of carbon dioxide and other pollutants are increasing the Earth's average temperatures.
"The first time I was interviewed by the press, I was stunned with the following reaction," Akerson said. "Some guy says, 'Do you believe in global warming?' And I said, 'Well yeah, I do.' Several GM executives said, 'You don't say that in public. Well this may surprise you, my underwear doesn't have GM stamped on it and I am an individual and I do have my own convictions and it may sometimes they -- they agree and sometimes they don't. I think it's actually healthy to have different points of view and perspectives around the table."
He went on to address the funding question more directly. "This is $15,000 that was committed to before I came in. I also think the Heartland Institute, I'm told, does other things and I find this interesting. I won't go any further but I'm going to take another look at it when I get back to Detroit. I'll leave it at that." Disclosure: General Motors is also a corporate funder of Climate One.
Mr. Akerson said "actions speak louder than words" and mentioned zero-emission auto plants that run off methane and other measures the company has taken to reduce its carbon footprint. Of course, most of the pollution from automobiles comes from driving them around, not making them. That's on us consumers.
GM famously killed the electric car ten years ago and often obstructed efforts to combat severe climate change. Now, that is changing. GM is producing the Chevy Volt, which runs on electricity and gasoline, and consumers have more options than ever for moving away from oil. GM can still do a lot more with its money and muscle to advance the transition to clean transportation. And my bet is they will, because the free and global auto market is headed toward an electrified future.

Singer Pink may have brought aerial arts to a global audience in her 2010 Grammy performance, but a Salt Lake City group is working to ground the high-flying art form in Utah.
Aerial Arts of Utah's "Flight of Fancy" concert on Friday, Nov. 30, marks the first time the group featuring eight aerialists and four guest artists will be showcased with an evening-length dance concert at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center's black box theater. The show will feature trapeze, aerial hoops and acrobatic yoga numbers.
The company, launched in 2010, is both a school and a company that has performed at such venues as The Leonardo museum, the Park Silly Sunday Market and the Utah Arts Festival, where members performed suspended from the arch of the Salt Lake City Main Library.
What sets the aerial group apart is its focus on artistic expression, rather than just fitness, said artistic director Liz Stich. Company members' educational pedigrees include two MFAs in modern dance, a BFA in modern dance, an MFA in film, a BFA in theater and a PhD in biochemistry.
"We enjoy the pure entertainment value of what we do," Stich said, adding that they aim to go beyond physical stunts to a more universal expression of human experience.
Aerial Arts of Utah took over Revolve Aerial Dance when owner Julianna Hane moved in June 2010. Co-owners Annie Kocherhans and Deborah Eppstein purchased Hane's teaching business, while Stich, who had taught and performed with Hane, became the company's artistic director.
The group was at Sugar Space but moved a year ago to a new location, with 22-foot ceilings, at 1301 E. Miller Ave. (3128 South), where it was able to add new aerial equipment as well as AcroYoga classes.
Kocherhans and Eppstein, who have been friends for nearly a decade, first saw aerial performers at an arts festival out of state. Back home in Salt Lake City, they sought out classes despite being afraid of heights. "I even modified our dining room to accommodate both a trapeze and the silks for extra practice at home," Eppstein said.
At the concert, Kocherhans, who owns a hair styling business, and Eppstein, who is CEO of Q Therapeutics, a stem cell company developing products to treat neuro-degenerative diseases (such as ALS, MS and spinal cord injuries), will be performing a duet on aerial silks, while Stich will perform two duets and a solo.
"There is nothing like being in a venue with the lights shining, and music playing, and you know people are watching," Kocherhans said. "You can't see the ground, you can't see anything, it feels amazing."
But because aerial dance is so technical, dancers can't get completely lost in the experience of performing. "We are always thinking about where you put the next hand, because it's very specific," she said. "But of course you never give the impression you are thinking about it."
Interested audience members are invited to the studio to watch student aerialists, who have trained for 15 weeks to develop solos and collaborative works, in the Performance Lab series. Those who want to try aerial work are invited to Friday night beginners classes.
"It seems like many local events are beginning to hire aerialists to add the 'wow' factor," Eppstein said. "While we do often perform as special event entertainment, we have found the community here to be supportive of our efforts to cultivate a more artistic approach to the aerial arts, blending our backgrounds in modern dance, theater and film to create a unique aesthetic. Utah is such a culturally rich environment, particularly in dance, so we hope to expand our collaborations within the community even more in the future."

Full fight, as teaser, for the upcoming Cage Fighters DVD featuring the best fights from the Portuguese organization's first three events. Pro recording (multi-camera, crane) and production.
Both fighters are bantamweight newcomers and this was Kape's first Pro fight after being undefeated (9-0-0) on the amateur circuit.
For the ones that remember it, Cage Fighters had some worlwide Internet hype for a stunning 3 second flying knee KO, from Portuguese rising star Helson Henriques (4-1-1) over Brazilian die-hard Diego Marlon (17-7-0), and for the absolute battle between Falco Lopes and Marcus Santos that ended up on fans invading the cage (featured on Middle Easy)!
You can follow Cage Fighters Youtube or Facebook accounts to know about about future events, featuring the best fighters in Portugal!

I'm new to hunting Central Texas and freshwater in general. Not looking to ask for advice on any spots or honey holes as I've spent the last month looking and just now finally found birds.
I'm from the coast and used to hunting redheads and pintails on open water, but apparently hunting birds around here requires something different as I had lots of birds eye my setup but wouldn't commit today.
What species do ya'll use? How many decoy's do you use. How do you handle setting up your shooting position and the decoy's when wind is less than the optimal direction?
Also, if anyone is looking for a hunting partner or just to grab a few beers [album][album][/album][/album]with a fellow hunter let me know. I have my own decoys/ equipment and run a momarsh with a mini longtail (its a little tight for two people but can really get you into the backwaters).

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is backing Arsenal to close the gap on Chelsea and book their place in next season's Champions League.
The Blues are now five points clear of Arsène Wenger's side in fourth place after picking up a draw at the weekend while Manchester United won at Emirates Stadium.
Oxlade-Chamberlain made an impressive full Premier League debut in that game and he is still confident Arsenal can secure a top-four finish.
"It is crucial," he said. "We know we have to win every game and approach every match in the same way.
"We always look to win, we know the task that lies ahead of us but we have belief within the dressing room. The boss believes, the boys believe and we know we have the quality that it takes.
"We are just going to keep working hard and try to correct our mistakes."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Editorials process, conflict of interest or openness guarantees of the US system. It is hard to imagine that the narrow margin of US Congress people who passed NAFTA in 1993 would have done so had they understood the powers it conferred upon investors and how these powers would be used by corporations to attack basic public interest laws .. . and to tear down the everyday workings of the courts."
So, wil l Loewen win? The answer may very well be 'yes'. The Chapter 11 provisions of NAFTA have been used twice before. In August 1998, the Canadian government was forced to revoke a national ban on the toxic gasoline additive MMT after its producer, the US Ethyl Corporation, sued them under NAFTA for $250 million. Another suit using these same provisions has been taken out against the Mexican government by the US Metalclad Corporation, demanding compensation because Mexican law halted its plans for a toxic waste plant on an environmentally sensitive site.
The Loewen case is yet one more, depressing, example of the largely secret tranche of international laws which have already been established to give corporations precedence over governments in the 21st century. NAFTA in North America is the regional equivalent of the World Trade Organization, which operates very similar
"It is hard to imagine that the narrow margin of US Congress people who passed NAFTA in 1993 would have done so had they understood the powers it conferred upon corporations to attack basic public interest laws and to tear down the everyday workings of the courts. " - Lori Wallach rules globally, and which has already led to a significant grinding-down of national laws designed to protect workers, the community and the environment (see The WTO's Record So Far', The Ecologist, July/August 1997). And last year, the world's multinationals almost succeeded in launching the Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI) on to an unsuspecting world, which would have extended global corporate dominance even further.
Fortunately, after strong opposition from NGOs around the world, and growing discontent from national and regional politicians (many of whom, due to the deliberate secrecy of the negotiations, only found out about the MA I from NGOs), the
Our Urban Future? by David W. Orr It ain't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't right. - Will Rogers
At the top of my list of the things that we know that "ain't right" I would place the belief that we are now an urban species and that by and large this is a good thing or at least one that cannot be changed. For 99 per cent of our evolutionary career, however, homo sapiens lived in small bands and tribes in places that would now be considered wilderness. For most of the remaining 1 per cent we were either rural or lived in small hamlets and towns surrounded by countryside. From an evolutionary perspective, the vast megapolitan areas of the 20th century are a sudden aberration.
Believers in the urban ideology presume that our rural origins are unimportant and often go on to assume that: (a) a prosperous and democratic culture does not require a stable and prosperous rural foundation; (b) we are smart enough to provision megapolitan areas with food, water, energy, materials, public safety, transport, employ
ment, and entertainment, and to dispose of their wastes, and do all of these things in perpetuity; (c) cities in contrast to everything else on Earth, have no maximum size beyond which they decay or collapse; (d) urban and suburban life can satisfy our deepest human needs; and (e) we wil l never change our minds. Urban boosterism masks a wager of sorts that our evolution-
From an evolutionary perspective, the vast megapolitan areas of the 20th century are a sudden aberration. ary past is of no consequence, our bets do not need to be hedged, and that "nature does not set booby traps for unwary species," as biologist Robert Sinsheimer once put it.
I offer a demurral and explore some of its implications for conserving biological diversity and for education. First, however, I must bow to the numbers that show unequivocally that humans continue to herd themselves into metropolitan regions. The United States, for example, is over
MA I has been shelved - certainly for the near future, and, with any luck, permanently. The rapid growth of global opposition to the very idea of such a treaty is at least a heartening sign that opponents of globalization can make themselves heard i f they shout loud enough.
But nobody should be fooled by this minor setback. The would-be rulers of the economic roost do not give up that easily. The global corporate vultures wil l soon be back, with the MAI , the WTO, NAFTA or something even worse under their wings, to pick over the bones of democracy, local economies and environmental regulation. Riding roughshod over the interests of ordinary people, small and medium-sized businesses and - now, with the Loewen case - even democratically established legal systems, is the only way that the multinationals can establish the unassailable global dominance that so many of them seek.
There is nothing 'free' about their version of global capitalism, and there is nothing 'fair' about their terms of trade. Winner, as they well know, really does take all. There can never be a fair deal for the environment, for people or for small-scale, sustainable economics while treaties like NAFTA, and unelected organizations like the WTO are allowed to hold sway over the 'New World Order'.•
whelmingly urban and suburban and becoming even more so. In 1950 almost half of Americans still lived in rural areas. By 1990, however, the number was less than one in four (22.9 per cent), and only 1.9 per cent of Americans lived on farms.1
Within a few years 50 per cent of the Earth's people wil l be urban and that number, we are told, wil l continue to rise until the vast majority wil l be city folk. What is i t about these numbers that "ain't right"? What long-term forces could possibly stop or even reverse the trend toward urbanisation?
You can make your own list, but mine includes such things as the end of the era in which we can burn cheap fossil fuels and ignore ecological costs - it is cheap fossil energy that allows us to provision large urban populations; the vulnerability of concentrated populations to new diseases like AIDS and ebola and the return of old ones such as tuberculosis in more virulent form;2
the decline of ecological resilience worldwide because of species loss, desertification, deforestation, soil erosion, climatic change, and other factors such as increased ultraviolet radiation that wil l reduce the surpluses that provision cities: the unmanage-

The question, I think, is not whether the urban tide will ebb, but when, how, how rapidly, and whether those returning to rural areas in the century ahead do so willingly or as ecological refugees driven by necessity, perhaps desperation. the century ahead it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that "Long before 2030 the trend toward ever larger cities and an increasing ration of urban-to-rural dwellers is likely to have reversed".3 The question I think is not whether the urban tide wil l ebb, but when, how, how rapidly, and whether by foresight or happenstance. In other words, the choice is whether those return-
ing to rural areas in the century ahead do so, in the main, willingly and expectantly with the appropriate knowledge, attitudes, and skills or arrive as ecological refugees driven by necessity, perhaps desperation.
What does the possibility of an urban diaspora have to do with the conservation of biological diversity? Simply this: i f large numbers of people reinhabit rural area ignorantly and carelessly, the effects on biological diversity and ecosystems wil l be devastating.

Asking Price: GONE
Shipping Options: USPS
Trades of interest: What do you have?
Location of item: St. Louis, MO
What is Included: Barrel, tube, and sticker (everything it comes with new)
http://s1295.beta.ph...brary/Stiffi MF
I used this barrel on my G4 for a day and it worked great, no breaks or anything. It has excellent porting and is nice and quiet. Reason for selling is I just picked up an Etha and it has the Shaft 4 barrel, but not the good front with the nice porting, so I want to get that but don't need both. Only asking 50 shipped cause I'd like it gone quick, so no lowballers please.
Here's a quick review that Mike did on the Stiffi MF, if you're kind of on the edge about the CF threads or a CF barrel in general:

Bakshis, Gorevan, Serapi and Tabriz are popular types of rugs woven in the Heriz region. The popular Heriz pattern is also made in India both in bright, deep traditional colors and also in softer earth tones. Herez is a city found in northwestern Iran in the province of Azerbijan. Some Heriz characteristics are thought to be derived from the classical Caucasian rugs of the 17th and 18th centuries. The foundation is usually cotton with a wool pile. Heriz rugs usually have a classic medallion and corner design. They can have all over patterns but are more often seen with a large geometric medallion and are notorious for their durability. Heriz rugs are very recognizable due to their strong floral geometric angular designs.
Placing the correct size rug in your space is as important as choosing the right color or pattern. A rug that it is too small will shift the balance of the room unfavorably. A rug that is too big, especially in open floor plans, may put the area designations off. There are a few rules of thumb, but a picture says it better. Use these handy guides by Interior Designer Lisa Ferguson to make the best choice.

Before entering their final year at the University of Virginia, Sparky's Flaw released a self-titled EP in August 2007 and began laying the groundwork for a full-length album. Several months later, the band adopted a new name -- Parachute -- and contributed a song to the national TV campaign for Nivea. Losing Sleep appeared in May 2009, marking Parachute's major-label debut and peaking at number 40 on the Billboard charts. The band opened for Kelly Clarkson that fall and appeared on the Internet broadcast Live at Daryl's House with Daryl Hall. More touring took place the following year, including additional dates with Clarkson and a headlining run with British songwriter Joe Brooks. Parachute began including newer songs in their set lists and eventually returned to the studio to record their sophomore effort, 2011's The Way It Was. Their third LP, 2013's Overnight, pushed the band further into the pop realm and subsequently became their highest-charting effort, reaching number 15 on Billboard's Top 200. Prior to the band's next album, bassist Hargrave and guitarist McFarland departed, slimming Parachute down to a trio. The remaining members worked with longtime producer John Fields to complete sessions for their fourth LP, Wide Awake, which was released in early 2016. ~ Andrew Leahey

Take a walk down historical road and check out some of Jon's 2012 campaign speeches.
While Jon's campaign may have been short there were plenty of photos. Look at them today and share as wanted.
Social media was of great importance to the Jon 2012 campaign. Click here to view some of the original tweets from Jon's Presidential run.
While Jon didn't win the seat as President you can still learn more about his big run. Click below to read more and see how the campaign went and ended.
We are currently working on a video campaign that is going to be a great addition to our website. We will be working with a smaller utah video production company that is going to help deliver an amazing video that summarizes the Huntsman campaign. If you continue to visit us we will share updates. If you would like to participate by providing footage please let us know and we will be happy to consider it.
At this time we are also looking for people who would be willing to write about Jon Huntsmas's political campaign through the 2012 election cycle. If you would like to contribute please let me know.
Jon Huntsman 2012 Presidential Campaign
Jon Huntsman announced that he would be running for office as a Republican candidate for President of the United States on June 21, 2011. As former Governor of Utah and US Ambassador to China, Huntsmen presented himself as a fiscal conservative and foreign policy moderate. His 2012 presidential campaign ran until January 15, 2012, when he withdrew and endorsed fellow candidate Mitt Romney.
Kicking off the Campaign
Jon Huntsman made the formal announcement that he would be running for president in Liberty State Park. With the Statue of Liberty as a backdrop, Huntsman delivered an inspiring speech that kicked off his campaign. Just one day later, he had raised more than a million dollars through fundraising efforts. Despite a personal net-worth estimated to be somewhere between $11 and $74 million dollars, Huntsman only contributed around $2 million to his own campaign. He strongly believed that the money needed to be raised through contributions in order to have a legitimate chance of securing the presidency.
On a side not it has been interesting to see the way in which a campaign need funding from Super Pacs and investors in this years election. As we have seen with Donald Trump he has received a lot less money from Super Pacs and private donors then Jeb Bush. Whether or not this will be good for the republican party I'm not sure. In 2017 Trump may be asking himself did I choose the right?
Campaign Staff
Huntsman's campaign manager was Susie Wiles, who had previously run a successful gubernatorial campaign for Rick Scott in Florida. This was a strategic choice, with the hope of having Huntsman win Florida's early primary election. Wiles left the campaign on July 21, 2011, and was replaced by Matt David. Neil Ashdown, who had previously served as Huntsman's chief of staff in Utah, came on board as deputy campaign manager. Other key staff members included Conyers Davis in the role of campaign operations director, Tim Miller as spokesperson for Huntsman, and John Weaver as chief political strategist.
On August 11, 2011, Huntsman participated in a debate in Iowa co-sponsored by Fox News, the Republican Party of Iowa, and the Washington Examiner. He pointed out that he was a fiscal conservative, and used examples of his ability to compromise while serving as Governor of Utah to highlight his efforts. At another GOP debate in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on September 7, 2011, Huntsman stated that Utah was the top state for job creation during his time as governor.
Poll Results
Huntsman's campaign received a boost when he was endorsed by Tom Ridge, former governor of Pennsylvania and Secretary of Homeland Security. He focused his efforts on winning New Hampshire, and polls showed him coming in 3rd that fall. He also received endorsements from several newspapers in the state. Despite holding more than 100 campaign events throughout the state, he still lagged behind Mitt Romney, who polls showed was receiving 39%, while Huntsman had just 11% of likely voters.
Ending the Campaign
Huntsman ultimately finished 3rd in the New Hampshire primary held in January of 2012, with just 17% of the votes. He began focusing on South Carolina, and received a major endorsement from newspaper The State, South Carolina's largest. Despite this, his expectations had lowered considerably.
Huntsman formerly announced his withdrawal from the 2012 presidential campaign on January 15, 2012. He came out in support of Mitt Romney, endorsing his former rival. Jon Huntsman's 2012 presidential campaign was brief, and ultimately unsuccessful. However, Jon did get to do what he loved for a short while and you can see additional photos of him on our photo page.

How to Make a Video Tutorial and GET VIEWS!Pin It
Last year I made my first vlog tutorial showing how to create fabric pocket organizers. This year allfreesewing.com is featuring the video and post. The difference in traffic is IMMENSE... If you are a talent blogger (as opposed to a popular blogger), you must must must take advantage of aggregation and compilation sites for your work! You will see your site grow organically (even if you aren't a garden blog), gain an authentic, niched audience and your work begin to make a profit. Win, win and win, win, win.
...but this is a post about video tutorials, not aggregation sites, SO let's move on, shall we?
Here are a few simple tips that will help you set up a video tutorial with a digital SLR.
First things first....find a space in your home where you can work easily and a space that also looks fairly nice. It doesn't have to be the MOST beautiful space in your home, but if you can stay away from the pile of dirty laundry and the broken toilet in the bathroom....it will help!
This is the space I chose on the couch, with my sewing machine perched on the trunk. This is my typical setup for sewing and it worked well for the tutorial. The only problem is that the camera is facing directly into doors that are filled with sunlight. This could be a problem (you would be a black silhouette against the light) unless you adjust the exposure compensation. (If you need a basic primer on exposure compensation, read THIS first!)
The first thing I did was check my exposure in camera and adjusted it to +.07 or +1 to compensate for the lighted doors. Notice how the couch is darker in the first photo and the trees outside can be seen somewhat through the windows. When I upped to exposure compensation (in the second photo), the foreground (where I will be) lightens up and the window is completely blown out. You can no longer see any detail outside the window which is perfect for my purposes.
|Check exposure
|Focus on product where it will come into view.
|The Setup
In conclusion:
1. Find a Beautiful Setup
2. Check Exposure and Adjust
3. Check Focus and Adjust (Wide Angle Lens Helps!!)
4. Test your setup and Adjust
5. Submit Your Work to an Aggregation Site for Great Exposure and Niched Traffic!
Interested in the actual video? You can check it out HERE!!
Interested in aggregation sites? You can check out the sites I submit to HERE and stay tuned for more info!
Interested in more sewing projects? Check out the DIY page!
Questions?! Just ask!
Since many of you have asked for more gear recommendations, here goes!
I started out on a D40 (camera 3), currently shoot with a D7000 (camera 2) and recommend the D3000 (camera 1).
Whatever you do, save your money you had set aside for that Nikon Coolpix or Canon Powershot and buy a used DSLR. Trust me.
...oh and PS -- these tips work JUST as well for a manual camera as they do for digital cameras...

I'm wondering if anybody will be able to help me with some advice please?
I'm a journalism graduate who, after a long time either not working or doing bits and bats of freelancing, has recently managed to get a half decent full time contracted job. I'm earning enough money to pay off my overdraft that I accrued and I'm finally beginning to save surplus cash too.
I'm planning on, when I have enough money saved up, going to South Korea and at least initially would like to teach English. I have a small amount of informal experience in this field as I currently do a weekly language exchange with a Korean lady I know.
My problem is I'm not fully certain what I should do regarding a TEFL or similair qualification.
I would not be able to get 4 weeks off of work to do this and I'm not certain it would be a good idea to quit my job - even when I have saved a fair amount of money - to then do a course like this with no guaranteed job at the end of it.
Are there any courses you could recomend where I would be able to do the bulk of the theory at home or on weekends?
I imagine I can take off up to two weeks from my job so I would be able to do any observed teaching, etc in this period.
My problem seems to be that all the courses I have seen are either 4 weeks and not very flexible or the "intense" ones (2 days or so) do not look like they'd consitute a great qualification and I do not believe I would learn enough from them to do my potential future students justice.
Sorry for the long post but any feedback or advice would be great!
Kind regards,
