Marriage is complicated. There are so many things that tie you and your partner together when you are married; assets, insurance, and yes debt. As a married couple your finances in most cases become completely entwined making them difficult to untangle after a divorce.
Spring is upon us and I feel the urge to purge, excess clutter that is. The same can be done with your finances. After facing a divorce it can be tough to look at the mountains of paperwork and files that are lying all over your desk, but it is definitely a necessary task.
Let's face it when you are going through a divorce you are not thinking about Uncle Sam, he isn't even on the radar. However, when things settle down it's important for you to take some time to understand your new tax situation particularly if you have kids.
So what does discipline have to do with finances? Being financially responsible is a skill all children need as they make their journey to adulthood. Unfortunately, many parents struggle themselves when it comes to applying discipline to their finances.
Aside from the life lessons I've also learned some important money lessons that have shaped and will continue to affect my financial life.
It can be difficult to be thankful when your world is turned upside down. For many of us this year has been a difficult one, myself included.
Many things will be changing with your finances as you go through your divorce and for years to come. To better prepare yourself for your future it's important to take steps to save for retirement, emergencies, and goals you may have. Saving is an intricate piece of your financial puzzle and needs to be re-evaluated post divorce.
Hold up. When did my reproductive decisions become an approved topic for "Beauty Parlor etiquette?" Is my reproductive decision an approved topic for "Beauty Parlor etiquette?"
Breakups are often the catalyst for change; a new you and new goals for your future. Unfortunately, we often use every excuse in the book to keep us from reaching those goals. Now is the time to take a stand for you and resolve to be healthy, and wealthy.
Sticking to a budget takes work and sometimes we are to distraught, busy, or simply don't know how to stick to the budget we created.
If you have been through or are going through a divorce, have you used money as a weapon or pawn to gain your child's love? Has your ex done this to you?
If you have been through or are going through a divorce, have you used money as a weapon or pawn to gain your child's love? Has your ex done this to you?
While diabetes is not a terminal illness, his diagnosis will change our lives forever and make the difficult job of co-parenting, well…even more difficult.
You have a divorce agreement, it clearly states you are responsible for three of your joint credit card accounts and your ex is responsible for the other three, case closed, right?
Most people haven't the slightest idea where to find help or the answers they need regarding credit card debt and how it may affect their credit report following a divorce.
Deciding to sell your marital home is a difficult choice for many; you may have built the home, raised your children there, and most importantly created memories that are hard to say good bye too. Even after making the difficult decision to part with the home in some cases it isn't even possible without facing huge hurdles and financial strain.
As you start your new life as a single you want to have a clean slate, emotionally and financially. Hopefully your divorce settlement left you with enough funds and assets to establish a home for yourself and your children, if they are still living with you.
However, if your situation is anything like mine, you may be able to self-represent your case. It's not as difficult as it sounds once you understand the right steps to take, and it can save you a ton of cash.
When you borrow money from a bank, credit card, or other institution, and you sign and agree to jointly and individually be liable for that debt, that's between you and the bank. You're responsible for the entire balance. 100%. The entire enchilada! You get the idea.
Debt. As you face the many challenges after a divorce you may be left with this four letter word. Many of us are panic stricken and think we have to file for bankruptcy to get out of it. Debt may have been the cause of your divorce, a catalyst, or just the result of the financial strain divorce places on your budget.
Today couples face the reality of foreclosure, short sales and houses that sit for a year or more. What do they do? Lose their shirt and sell well under value, if at all? Or, continue to live with their soon to be ex spouse, potentially with children in tow until things look up? Tough call and a decision I was glad not to have to make.
I've read so many articles and statistics about how parental discord and separation affects a child. To me, the news was not good.
While spousal support is sometimes viewed as punishment for the spouse paying support, it is important to remember it is to help the other maintain their standard of living. Divorce can often result in financial ruin for one or both spouses.
Desperate times call for desperate measures--like living with your ex because you can't afford not to. Today's economy has taken its toll on the best of us, leaving some couples unable to physically separate for financial reasons. So how do you make it work?
April15th is closer than you think and soon it will be time to prepare your taxes for 2010. If you separated from your spouse, or filed for or finalized your divorce there are a few things you need to be aware of when it comes time to file your taxes.
When it comes to getting a divorce many of us have regrets not necessarily about the divorce but, the financial decisions we make in anger or haste to just get it all over with.

Welcome to the Taxatio Database
The taxatio database contains the valuation, plus related details, of the English and Welsh parish churches and prebends listed in the ecclesiastical taxation assessment of 1291-2.
A taxatio is an assessment for taxation and the taxatio with which this database is concerned is often called the Pope Nicholas IV taxatio because it was carried out on the orders of that pope. For nearly 250 years virtually all ecclesiastical taxation of England and Wales was based on this extremely thorough and detailed assessment. It is a unique source for the medieval period: no other complete survey of its kind survives for any part of medieval Europe. An edition of one of the many extant manuscripts of the assessment was produced by the Record Commission in 1802: Taxatio Ecclesiastica Angliae et Walliae Auctoritate P. Nicholai IV, ed. T.Astle, S.Ayscough and J.Caley. All the detailed material concerning the values of ecclesiastical benefices in this printed edition (the 'spiritualities' part of the assessment as distinct from the 'temporalities' part) has been entered onto the database.
Work on the database is complete or virtually complete for the dioceses of Canterbury, Rochester, London, Lincoln, Norwich, Chichester, Exeter, Hereford, Salisbury, Bath and Wells, Winchester, Worcester, Ely, St Davids, Llandaff, St Asaph and Bangor. The information available from the database is currently affected by a few inadequacies in other dioceses, especially in relation to patronage.
The taxatio database was originally established in 1986 at the University of Manchester by a research team under the supervision of Jeff Denton, former Professor of Medieval History. It was transferred to the Humanities Research Institute of the University of Sheffield in 2003.

Published January 13, 2015
Nashville, TN (SportsNetwork.com) - Anze Kopitar's goal in the third round of the shootout lifted the Los Angeles Kings to a 2-1 win over the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena.
After the first five shooters failed to light the lamp in the shootout, Kopitar went to his backhand and slid a shot past Pekka Rinne for the game- winner.
Slava Voynov netted the lone Kings goal in regulation while Jonathan Quick stopped 34-of-35 shots between the pipes. Los Angeles improved to 4-0 beyond regulation this season, including three wins in shootouts.
"He was sharp tonight," Kings head coach Darryl Sutter said of his goaltender. "He was good early, and it's a good test for him, because it's a building where he's had a tough time."
Matt Cullen scored for Nashville, which saw its two-game winning streak come to an end.
Rinne had 29 saves in defeat.
Quick poke-checked the puck away from Craig Smith on the first shootout attempt from Nashville. Filip Forsberg went to the backhand on his first- career shootout try but missed high, and Cullen slowed down as he skated towards goal but shot right into Quick's body.
Mike Richards and Jeff Carter both missed for LA before Kopitar skated in and made a series of dekes before lifting a backhand over Rinne's shoulder.
LA defenseman Alec Martinez was penalized for high-sticking with 3:31 left in overtime, but Nashville failed to capitalize on the ensuing power play as Shea Weber missed wide of the net on three slap shots.
The Predators were 0-for-4 on the man advantage.
Midway through the opening period, Cullen received a pass from Smith behind the net and centered for Gabriel Bourque, who was denied by Quick. The netminder failed to corral the puck, which remained free in front of the net until Cullen found it and smacked it home.
With 42 seconds left in the first, Voynov knotted the score when he one-timed a feed from Richards past a diving Rinne, who was caught out of position.
Los Angeles managed just 13 shots over the final 40 minutes of regulation, while Rinne denied all 18 Nashville attempts.
"We just couldn't find an answer for Jonathan Quick," Nashville head coach Barry Trotz said. "He made some incredible saves in the second period. I think if he didn't have a night like he did, we probably would have lit them up."
Game Notes
Nashville took two of three meetings from the Kings last season ... The Predators won 34-of-60 faceoffs ...Quick improved to 2-5-2 in nine career games against Nashville ... LA won three of four on its road trip and will return home to host Dallas on Saturday ... The Kings were 0-for-4 on the power play.

Endowed Chair of Entrepreneurship
About the Endowed Chair of Entrepreneurship
Start-ups have a deep impact on economic life and society. They play a central role in economies' ability to compete as well as their constant revitalization. However, economic and management studies for some time paid little or no attention to the particularities and meaning of companies in the first phase of their establishment. This changed only a few years ago. The topic of "entrepreneurship" is enjoying increasing public, political, and scientific attention. Start-ups as a driving force of modern economic systems are taking a larger and larger place in the spotlight.
The Endowed Chair of Entrepreneurship was established to address this development. The topics of setting up a business, innovation, growth, and entrepreneurship comprise the focus of a practically-oriented chair. The funding institutions are the Oldenburg Employers' Association, e.V.; NORDMETALL - Verband der Metall- und Elektroindustrie e.V; the Oldenburg Economic Association "Der Kleine Kreis e.V."; as well as the Oldenburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK).
The chair is a formal institution of the University of Oldenburg's Faculty II. But its realm of activity, along with its course offering, specifically includes all faculties at the University of Oldenburg, as well as all majors and faculties at the University of Applied Sciences in Oldenburg/Ostfriesland/Wilhelmshaven. In addition to students, the chair aims to attract academic professionals and alumni with its program.
The chair's activities concentrate on the knowledge- and technology-based new ventures that display a high potential for growth. Supported particularly by regional companies, the chair's networking and perspectives are nevertheless internationally-focused.
The Endowed Chair of Entrepreneurship has the following objectives:
- Development of an entrepreneurial spirit at the regional universities and to increase an amount of innovation- and growth-oriented new ventures in the Northwest German region.
- Serving as an interface between small and medium-sized businesses and regional universities.
- Consolidation of existing support measures for entrepreneurs in the Entrepreneurship Network Northwest.
- Establishing itself as a national and internationally well-recognized scientific institution.
What We Do
The chair supports individuals and teams looking to start a business in the pre-start up, start up, market, or growth phase of their business. A variety of supporting measures is offered such as know-how on starting a business, financing, coaching, or bringing together partners to and from the Entrepreneurship Network.
Furthermore, a close contact is sought with family businesses from the region. Topics like succession, innovation management, and the strategic re-orientation of small and medium-sized companies are also a part of the chair's activity spectrum.
Multidisciplinary teaching is of central meaning for the Endowed Chair of Entrepreneurship. The objective of creating an entrepreneurial spirit at regional universities is in very close proximity to its teaching activities. Course content includes business planning, selection of the kind of company aimed for, success potential of new companies, competitor analysis, industry structure analysis, the management of tangible and intangible resources, "intrapreneurship" (this means business dealings within established organizations), or how to accomplish phases of rapid growth. The particular features of entrepreneurship (such as the rule-breaking character of entrepreneurial activity) also demand a particularly didactic approach. This includes (among other things) the possibility for students to pursue their own initiatives, an emphasis on critical faculties, and a strong real-world orientation based upon scientific findings. Practical orientation is additionally ensured through the involvement of entrepreneurs in courses, case study work, work on own start up concepts, and business co-operations.
The chair's research is oriented towards the international scientific community and integrates applicable findings from functional-oriented related disciplines. This includes strategic management, organization theory, or finance. It is worked both conceptually as well as empirically.
Involvement with management theory is not an end in itself. It should also deliver a differentiated picture of a company, and with this, make a contribution that corresponds to the complexity of the topic

Byproducts, low quality grains, controversial filler
The first ingredient in this food is byproducts. It is impossible to ascertain the quality of by-products and these are usually products that are of such low quality as to be rejected for use in the human food chain, or else are those parts that have so little value that they cannot be used elsewhere in either the human or pet food industries. The AAFCO definition of chicken by-product meal is a meal consisting of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered chicken, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable in good processing practice. There is a further meat product in the food, fish meal, 9th on the ingredient list. We find no sign on the manufacturer's website of a guarantee that only ethoxyquin-free protein ingredients are used in this food (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative, commonly added to fish ingredients, and that is banned or heavily regulated in human food due to the belief that it is carcinogenic).
The grains in the food are plentiful (they comprise the majority of the product - a negative as dog foods should be based on meat rather than grain) and of mixed quality. Wheat is believed by many to be the leading cause of food allegy problems in dogs. Wheat flour (in dog food, commonly a byproduct of human food production) this is a grain fragment we consider primarily filler. Corn is a difficult to digest grain of limited value in dog food. It is also commonly associated with allergy problems. Rice is a decent quality grain, but rice bran is a further grain fragment and filler.
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than egg product in the food.

20 Federal Buildings Honored as Nation's Top in Design and Architecture
April 30, 2014
WASHINGTON -- Today the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and its private-sector partners honored 20 federal buildings that represent the agency's best recent efforts in design and architecture at the GSA Design Awards ceremony, held at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, DC. The GSA Design Awards are the hallmark of the agency's Design Excellence program, and today's event showcases top projects and sets new standards for future federal investment.
"We support the delivery of vital public services to the American people with buildings that are distinct and valued landmarks in their local communities," said Norman Dong, Commissioner of GSA's Public Buildings Service. "Our design efforts provide necessary tools to the nation's federal workforce in high quality, cost effective spaces that help agencies achieve their missions. Today we honor the talents of federal employees and our private sector partners that brought these projects to fruition."
GSA holds the program every two years to honor the accomplishments of talented federal employees, architects, engineers, landscape architects, urban designers, interior designers, artists, conservationists, and preservationists who create and preserve the nation's landmarks. The GSA Design Awards recognizes outstanding achievements in GSA buildings across the country.
A jury of private-sector professionals chaired by architect Henry N. Cobb reviewed more than 80 projects for this cycle of the GSA Design Awards. Projects were submitted in two categories—completed works and designs not yet realized—and jurors evaluated entries for quality in architecture, preservation, engineering, art, interiors, urban planning, graphic design, and landscape. Projects that were eligible for the awards were those with approved concept designs or construction completed between 2008 and 2013. The program is open to contract design professionals, artists, and organizations that completed projects for GSA.
The following is a complete list of GSA Design Award winners:

The Design Excellence Program is the central advocate for design quality in GSA's real estate portfolio. The foundation of the Design Excellence Program is the Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture, written by Daniel Patrick Moynihan and signed by President Kennedy in 1962. The program oversees procedures that seek the finest, most appropriate architects and artists for GSA projects, and which insert independent appraisal of project teams' work to ensure best value to the American taxpayer.

Blattman on Violence and Voting in Uganda
Abstract: How do war and violence impact long-run political development? The bulk of existing theory and evidence concerns macro-level actors and processes. This paper presents evidence for a micro-level link between war and individual political engagement. I demonstrate that conscription by a Ugandan rebel group generates quasi-experimental variation in who became a combatant, and use original survey data to show that conscription leads to significantly greater political participation later in life, and that the principal channel appears to be war violence received (rather than perpetrated). Conscription and violence do not appear to affect nonpolitical forms of community participation, however. I show that these patterns are not easily explained by models of participation based on simple rational preferences, social preferences, mobilization by elites, or information availability. Only expressive theories of participation appear consistent with the patterns observed, whereby exposure to violence augments the value a person places on the act of political expression itself.

My freezer is once again loaded with roasted red peppers in hummus-ready batches. The beautiful, sweet peppers which usually cost $3 or $4 a pound other times during the year are plentiful now. I bought a huge basket of them and my roasting efforts should come in handy over the coming months when I want to make my Roasted Red Pepper Hummus.
Now that I'm stocked up for that task, I can use the red peppers I pick up at the farmers market in the next few weeks for other dishes. Here are a few recipes that look worthy of a try. For some I can use my already roasted red peppers, and some call for fresh peppers.
- Roasted Red Pepper and Squash Soup – Red peppers, butternut squash and pears — all in season right now — go into this pureed soup. What really catches my attention is that it's thickened with cooked oats, adding some whole grains and extra fiber to the mix.
- Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese Alfredo Pasta – This just sounds amazing to me. Goat cheese and Parmesan are used in this Alfredo. I don't think I'm going to get through this weekend without making it.
- Quinoa Stuffed Red Bell Peppers – Super healthy with whole grain quinoa, green chiles and black beans. It's an entire balanced meal in one.
- Beautiful Red Bell Cocktail – I've never thought to use red bell peppers in a cocktail before. This cocktail starts with one of my favorite combinations, gin and fresh lime juice, and adds red bell peppers and basil.
- Red Bell Pepper Frittata – This meatless main dish uses a combination of eggs and egg whites to make it lighter than a regular frittata and packs it full of red bell peppers, onions and couscous.

Cardiac muscle patches made from stem cells
A cutting-edge method developed at the University of Michigan Center for Arrhythmia Research successfully uses stem cells to create heart cells capable of mimicking the heart's crucial squeezing action.
The cells displayed activity similar to most people's resting heart rate. At 60 beats per minute, the rhythmic electrical impulse transmission of the engineered cells in the U-M study is 10 times faster than in most other reported stem cell studies.
An image of the electrically stimulated cardiac cells is displayed on the cover of the current issue of Circulation Research, a publication of the American Heart Association.
For those suffering from common, but deadly, heart diseases, stem cell biology represents a new medical frontier…

How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Domperidone belongs to the group of medications called dopamine antagonists. It is used to treat slowed movement in the gastrointestinal tract associated with diabetes and gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining). For these people, domperidone improves symptoms of nausea, vomiting, bloating, and feeling of fullness.
Domperidone is also used to prevent stomach problems such as nausea and vomiting associated with certain medications used to treat Parkinson's disease. It works to improve symptoms by helping the stomach to empty more quickly and to reduce nausea.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

[January 20, 2015]
Health Canada has issued new restrictions concerning the use of domperidone. To read the full Health Canada Advisory, visit Health Canada's web site at www.hc-sc.gc.ca.
Heart rhythm problems and cardiac arrest: Recent studies have shown that the risk of serious abnormal heart rhythms or cardiac arrest (sudden death) may be higher in people who take more than 30 mg of domperidone per day, or in people who are over 60 years of age. If you have a heart condition with abnormal electrical activity of your heart (e.g., QT prolongation), heart failure, or low blood levels of magnesium or potassium, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
This is especially important if you are taking other medications that can change the electrical activity of the heart. Certain medications (e.g., sotalol, quinidine, thioridazine, chlorpromazine, droperidol, pimozide, moxifloxacin, mefloquine, pentamidine, arsenic trioxide, ondansetron, probucol, tacrolimus) can increase the risk of a type of abnormal heart rhythm called QT prolongation, and should not be used in combination with domperidone if possible. You are more at risk for this type of abnormal heart rhythm and its complications if you:
- are female
- are older than 65 years of age
- have a family history of sudden cardiac death
- have a history of heart disease or abnormal heart rhythms
- have a slow heart rate
- have congenital prolongation of the QT interval
- have diabetes
- have had a stroke
- have low potassium, magnesium, or calcium levels
- have nutritional deficiencies
Hormone levels: This medication may increase prolactin, a hormone in the body. If you have a history of breast cancer, ask your doctor about the benefits and risks associated with using this medication, since some breast cancers are thought to be prolactin-dependent.
Kidney function: Reduced kidney function may cause this medication to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have reduced kidney function, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. Your doctor may suggest a lower dose or that you take this medication only once or twice a day.
Liver function: Liver disease or reduced liver function may cause this medication to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have liver problems, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Pregnancy: This medication should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: This medication passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking domperidone, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of using this medication have not been established for children.
Seniors: People over the age of 60 appear to be more likely to experience heart problems including heart attack with the use of domperidone. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of taking this medication.
What other drugs could interact with this medication?
There may be an interaction between domperidone and any of the following:
If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:
- stop taking one of the medications,
- change one of the medications to another,
- change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
- leave everything as is.
An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.
Medications other than those listed above may interact with this medication. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

P&W Executive: Aerospace Taking Off, Manufacturers Must Get on Board
The nation's aerospace industry is taking off and Pratt & Whitney wants to make sure that as many Connecticut manufacturers as possible go along for the ride — if they can meet very high standards.
That's according to Danny Di Perna, senior vice president, Engineering and Operations, Pratt & Whitney, who spoke to hundreds of Connecticut manufacturing executives—many of whom likely eager to partner with the aviation giant — at CBIA's Made in Connecticut: 2014 Manufacturing Summit in Cromwell.
Pratt & Whitney recently announced that it has 5,500 orders for its new PurePower geared turbofan engine, and expects to sell thousands more. Di Perna said the company is expecting its current $4 billion in spending with suppliers will soon to soon grow to between $6.5 billion and $7 billion.
"Pratt is growing like crazy," said Di Perna. "It's a very exciting time in terms of growth and opportunities. We are spending and we are investing to meet the demand."
He cautioned that Pratt & Whitney needs a reliable supply chain of manufacturers to keep up with the demand. For example, the company is ready for a "huge ramp up" in production for its F135 engines for the fighter aircraft.
"We're ready to produce," said Di Perna, "but some in the supply chain are not ready."
He said Pratt & Whitney manufactures about 20 percent of what's needed to produce its engines, with the balance coming from other, smaller companies. So supply chain and logistics are critically important.
What Pratt & Whitney looks for in suppliers is companies that are actively investing in the skills of their employees, in technology, quality, cost effectiveness and lean operations.
And one more thing: "they have to have the highest ethical standards," said Di Perna.
Aerospace is fiercely competitive, with Pratt & Whitney's local rivals General Electric among those "fighting tooth and nail" for business.
Di Perna said that Connecticut is the "center of gravity" for the aerospace industry, with some of the highest-tech manufacturers in the world. He lauded the recent agreement that United Technologies, Gov. Malloy and the legislature reached to keep Pratt & Whitney and UTC in the state.
"Connecticut is UTC," he said, "and UTC is Connecticut."
Skilled Workers
Also critical to fuel Pratt & Whitney's booming growth is a skilled workforce. Pratt & Whitney is working on that with its strong relationship with the University of Connecticut - where it has an additive manufacturing innovation center — and also with many of the state's community colleges and technical schools.
"We need to get kids excited about manufacturing," said Di Perna. "If we don't bring them in, we'll lose our skills base."
Pratt & Whitney expects its suppliers to share its priorities and make the same kinds of investments — not in the same dollar amounts, of course, but with the same commitment.
"We need your help," said Di Perna. While Connecticut has many manufacturers who are making the right investments, others — what he called "dungeons" — are not. They "have no investments, no vision, no technology and support."
And if a potential vendor can't match up to Pratt & Whitney's expectations, "you leave us no option but to shop elsewhere."
One of the Connecticut companies meeting Pratt & Whitney's standards and having a longstanding and successful relationship with the manufacturer is the Whitcraft Group.
A contract manufacturer of precision machined, formed and fabricated parts and assemblies for Pratt & Whitney and other large aerospace OEMs, Whitcraft has 430 Connecticut-based employees.
Colin Cooper, Whitcraft Group CEO, told the conference that today's aerospace industry is "a mile wide and inch deep" — meaning that it's highly complex, but relatively low volume.
He said that suppliers like Whitcraft are under very stringent cost, quality, and time requirements.
When working with large OEMs like Pratt & Whitney,"You have to get acclimated to what they require."
It's also a fast-moving, changeable industry, with "a record amount of development," said Cooper.
He said that the civil aviation market is set to double in passengers over the next 20 years, and all that engineering development is driving big and positive changes — in fuel savings, noise reduction, environmental emissions, and maintenance costs.
As a result, however, manufacturers are now working in an environment in which designs frequently change, many iterations of those designs often are necessary, schedules have to be malleable and engineering projects frequently concurrent.
"Despite the risks, it's a very exciting time," said Cooper.
With "real demand," bigger volumes, and engine projects likely to run more than 20 years, that's more than incentive enough for Whitcraft and other Connecticut manufacturers to meet the high standards set by Pratt & Whitney — so they can get on board.This story was reprinted with the permission of the Connecticut Business and Industry Association.

Madeleine L'Engle
Madeleine L'Engle
Madeleine L'Engle was born on November 29, 1918, and grew up in New York City, Switzerland, South Carolina, and Massachusetts. After graduating cum laude from Smith College in 1941, she returned to New York to work in the theater. While touring with Eva Le Gallienne and Joseph Schildkraut in Uncle Harry, Ms. L'Engle wrote her first book, THE SMALL RAIN (originally published in 1945 and reissued in 1984). She met her future husband, Hugh Franklin, when they both appeared in The Cherry Orchard with Miss Le Gallienne.
When Hugh Franklin temporarily retired from the theater, they moved their family to western Connecticut and opened a general store. Madeleine said, "A lot of what I learned in our store was of immense value to a writer...I have already published one book written directly out of our life there. It's called MEET THE AUSTINS, but it could easily be called 'Meet the Franklins!'" The Austin series continues with five additional books, including A RING OF ENDLESS LIGHTS (1980), a Newbery Honor Book.
After ten years in Connecticut, the Franklins moved to New York City. Hugh Franklin returned to the theater and became particularly well known for his role as Dr. Charles Tyler in the television series "All My Children." Mr. Franklin died in 1986.
Ms. L'Engle's science fantasy classic A WRINKLE IN TIME was awarded the Newbery Medal in 1963. Four companion novels, A WIND IN THE DOOR (1973), A SWIFTLY TILTING PLANET (1978), MANY WATERS (1986), and AN ACCEPTABLE TIME (1989) complete what has come to be known as the Wrinkle in Time Quintet.
Ms. L'Engle wrote dozens of books for both children and adults, including the Crosswicks Journals, which compromised four books: A CIRCLE OF QUIET (1972), THE SUMMER OF THE GREAT-GRANDMOTHER (1974), THE IRRATIONAL SEASON (1977), and TWOPART INVENTION (1988). Among other awards, she received the National Humanities Medal, which honors individuals whose work has deepened the nation's understanding of the humanities? the ALAN Award for Outstanding Contribution to Adolescent Literature from the National Council of Teachers of English? and the Margaret A. Edwards Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Library Association.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Murder defendant George Zimmerman could have defused the deadly confrontation with Trayvon Martin if he would have identified himself as a member of neighborhood watch and he passed two lie detector tests when questioned by investigators, according to a report released Tuesday.
More documents in the second-degree murder case against the 28-year-old were released that included investigators' accounts of the night of Feb. 26, when Zimmerman killed Martin after following the unarmed teenager through a gated community in Sanford. He has pleaded not guilty and has said from the night of the fight that he feared for his life because Martin was beating him up before Zimmerman grabbed his gun in his holster and shot the 17-year-old.
Sanford detective Christopher Serino said in the report that Zimmerman at first verbally confronted Martin from his car and that the defendant and witnesses said he was too afraid of Martin to get out. Later in the encounter, Zimmerman got out of his SUV and followed Martin.
"His actions are inconsistent of those of a person who has stated he was in fear of another subject," Serino wrote.
Based on his investigation, Serino recommended a charge of manslaughter to the state attorney but Zimmerman wasn't charged until more than a month later. Serino has been reassigned to the patrol division by his request, according to a news release from Sanford police on Tuesday.
Another investigator wrote that on the night of the shooting, two computer voice stress tests they gave to Zimmerman indicated he wasn't lying about what happened.
Zimmerman answered a series of questions by speaking into a microphone that was plugged into a computer. The answers produce a voice pattern on the computer, which are analyzed for truthfulness. It differs from traditional lie detectors, which involve wires or electrodes attached to the person that monitor pulse rates.
Results from either test are usually not admissible in court.
Orlando-based defense attorney Randy McClain said Zimmerman passing the test won't show up at trial because Florida courts have deemed them unreliable based on a 1923 case. It established that results of scientific tests or procedures are admissible as evidence only when the tests or procedures have gained general acceptance in the particular field to which they belong.
"When it's released to the public like this it may have effect on respective jurors and create a bias, but at the trial I don't think it will have any bearing because it hasn't been found to be admissible," McClain said.
McClain said he couldn't recall any criminal cases in Florida where a lie detector result was admitted as evidence.
He did say, though, that the defense would likely try to call attention to the fact that Serino recommended a lesser charge for Zimmerman.
"They're going to say that he had the opportunity to review all interviews and didn't recommend second-degree murder," McClain said. "But the state is going to come back and point out that he did believe charges were appropriate. There will be a lot of back and forth, but at the end of the day I think it will hurt Zimmerman more that he had opportunity to ID himself and disobeyed the advice of the 911 operator and pursued Martin."
A message left with Zimmerman's attorney was not immediately returned.
Zimmerman said Martin had been on top of him, slamming his head against the ground and smothering his mouth and nose with his hand and arm. He told investigators he grabbed his gun from a holster on his waist before Martin could get it, and shot the teenager once in the chest. A tape released by his lawyer shows two butterfly bandages on the back of Zimmerman's head and another on his nose.
Zimmerman claims he shot the teen in self-defense, under Florida's "stand your ground" law. Martin's parents have said Zimmerman was the aggressor.
Zimmerman's original bond was a revoked by a judge who ruled he lied about his finances and he remains in jail awaiting a second bond hearing scheduled for Friday.

manager Ozzie Guillen said Dunn will wind up getting plenty of use out of his first baseman's glove this year, especially later in the season when Konerko needs a break.
"Late in the season, a little bit more," Guillen said before Sunday's game. "Early in the season, PK's fine, swinging the bat good. Obviously, I need somebody to help PK at first base. [Dunn] will play more than people think."
Dunn will start at first base for one of the team's three Interleague games against the Dodgers in the upcoming homestand, Guillen said.
"It's hard for me to bench PK, but I have to do what I have to do," Guillen said. "[Dunn] will be in one of those games."
What can go wrong?

Teenage Driver Crash StatisticsActions

Teenage Driver Crash Statistics
The relationship between age and driving behavior has interested highway safety researchers and administrators for many years. It is generally acknowledged that the greatest risk of traffic crashes is among teenage drivers. Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers across the United States. For both men and women, drivers aged 16 to 19 years of age have the highest average annual crash and traffic violation rates of any other age group. Click on the following links to get various nationwide crash statistics for teenage drivers from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Teenage Driver Crash Risk Factors
The traffic accident rates for 16- to 19-year old drivers are higher than those for any other age group. What causes teenage drivers to be such risky drivers? The following is a list of their primary risk factors.
Poor hazard detection
The ability to detect hazards in the driving environment depends upon perceptual and information-gathering skills and involves properly identifying stimuli as potential threats. It takes time for young novice drivers to acquire this ability.
Low risk perception
Risk perception involves subjectively assessing the degree of threat posed by a hazard and one's ability to deal with the threat. Young novice drivers tend to underestimate the crash risk in hazardous situations and overestimate their ability to avoid the threats they identify.
Risk Taking
Teenagers tend to take more risks while driving partly due to their overconfidence in their driving abilities. Young novice drivers are more likely to engage in risky behaviors like speeding, tailgating, running red lights, violating traffic signs and signals, making illegal turns, passing dangerously, and failure to yield to pedestrians.
Not wearing seat belts
Teenagers tend to wear safety belts less often than older drivers. Why?
Lack of skill
Novice teenage drivers have not yet completely mastered basic vehicle handling skills and safe-driving knowledge they need to drive safely.
Alcohol and drugs
Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs is a common cause of serious crashes, especially fatal ones, involving teenage drivers. Teenagers who drink and drive are at much greater risk of serious crashes than are older drivers with equal concentrations of alcohol in their blood.
Carrying passengers
For teenagers, the risk of being in a crash increases when they transport passengers-the fatality risk of drivers aged 16-17 years is 3.6 times higher when they are driving with passengers than when they are driving alone, and the relative risk of a fatal crash increases as the number of passengers increases. Passengers who are age peers may distract the teen drivers and encourage them to take more risks, especially for young males riding with young male drivers.
Night driving
The per mile crash rate for teenaged drivers is 3 times higher after 9:00 pm during the day. This is because the task of driving at night is more difficult; they have less experience driving at night than during the day; they are more sleep deprived, and/or because teenage recreational driving, which often involves alcohol, is more likely to occur at night.

Solar water heater sales have reduced from a historically high level in 2009 due to reduced markets support mechanisms from State and Federal governments
Typical applications include:
Solar water heating for domestic hot water has been driven by building and plumbing regulations that promote low emission water heaters. This varies from State to State.
Over the past decade market support mechanisms such as green certificates (SRES), Rebates and White certificates in some States have supported the market. Many of the rebates (subsidies) have been phased out since 2009
Low awareness of solar water heating and the tendency to replace 'like for like' in the replacement market remains a key barrier.
Solar pool heating is driven by the high cost of using conventional energy to heat pools.
Australia has a large manufacturing base of solar water heaters and pool heating collectors.
Some solar water heaters installed in Australia are imported. Some Australian products are exported.
Most products are sold through specialist suppliers or conventional plumbing supply chains. Some specialist suppliers are franchisees of manufacturers but this is a small part of the current market.
In new dwellings the builder generally provides the solar water heater which is often purchased from the manufacturer.
According to Australia's Clean Energy Council there are approximately 995 full time equivalent jobs in the solar water heating sector
The average cost for a solar water heater in Australia in 2012 was AU$3,070 (BIS Shrapnel, 2012)
Some solar water heaters installed in Australia have had issues with overheating in summer causing water loss due to boiling. AS/NZS 2712 was revised to include an overheating test to address this issue.
In Australia there are a number of schemes that promote energy efficiency in buildings and also wider sustainability schemes. Whilst covered in the Building Code of Australia these are generally state based for domestic dwellings and generally only cover new buildings.
Passive solar technologies including daylighting are not specifically recognised however the energy reductions contributed by these technologies help to reach energy consumption targets include in the schemes.
There are a few industry leaders that are providing high levels of sustainability in buildings, however the mass market is producing regulation minimum buildings.
There are no specific requirements or support for solar technologies for buildings other than solar water heaters.
The main driver for residential dwellings is building regulations that are defined in the National Construction Code (Building Code of Australia and Plumbing Code of Australia) and implemented at state and territory level that require a minimum level of energy efficiency of the structure for new builds. This is measured at the planning stage using computer simulation programs to calculate heating and cooling energy loads from the plans, or through complying with other elements deemed to meet building regulations.
Commercial buildings require disclosure of energy consumption at sale or lease which will influence property values. There is also a Green Building rating scheme, Green Star, which identifies good and best practice in new builds as a means of rewarding leading builds and developers. Many new CBD office buildings are achieving market recognition using Green Star.
There are Green and White certificate trading schemes that are market drivers for existing residential and commercial buildings. These are limited in scope and apart from solar water heating no solar technologies are currently included in white certificate schemes. PV is included in Green Certificate schemes.
While research on solar thermal and solar buildings is being undertaken by various institutions, there is not a single 'national' R&D program.
The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA http://www.arena.gov.au/) maintains a research program for solar energy. ARENA has recently included industrial process heat as a prioritry area of research.
The Cooperative Research Centre in Low Carbon Living (CRCLCL) was established in 2012 and involves a range of research, government and industry partners. A key aim of the CRCLCL is to help cut Australia's residential and commercial carbon emissions through developing low carbon building construction systems and materials and increasing the evidence base for government policy and planning. http://www.lowcarbonlivingcrc.com.au
Some of the institutions conducting R&D include:
University of New South Wales http://www.unsw.edu.au/
University of South Australia –
Australian National University
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisations (CSIRO)
University of Sydney
Market support innovations. SRES supports solar water heating by means of using computer simulations to calculate savings using an Australian and New Zealand Standard methodology (AS/NZS4234).
Standards A solar cooling standard has been published facilitating performance evaluation of solar cooling system. This will facilitate solar cooling being incorporated into Green and White certificate schemes. This standard (AS5389) is currently under revision to include other technologies (see http://www.sdpp.standards.org.au/ActiveProjects.aspx?CommitteeNumber=CS-028&CommitteeName=Solar%20Water%20Heaters)
Renewable Energy Target (RET)
The RET scheme is designed to ensure that 20 per cent of Australia's electricity comes from renewable sources by 2020. The RET scheme is helping to transform Australia's electricity generation mix to cleaner and more diverse sources and supporting growth and employment in the renewable energy sector.
Since January 2011 the RET scheme has operated in two parts—the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) and the Large-scale Renewable Energy Target (LRET).
The LRET creates a financial incentive for the establishment or expansion of renewable energy power stations, such as wind and solar farms or hydro-electric power stations. It does this by legislating demand for Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs). One LGC can be created for each megawatt-hour of eligible renewable electricity produced by an accredited renewable power station. LGCs can be sold to entities (mainly electricity retailers) who surrender them annually to the Clean Energy Regulator to demonstrate their compliance with the RET scheme's annual targets. The revenue earned by the power station for the sale of LGCs is additional to that received for the sale of the electricity generated.
The LRET includes legislated annual targets which will require significant investment in new renewable energy generation capacity in coming years. The large-scale targets ramp up until 2020 when the target will be 33,000 gigawatt-hours of renewable electricity generation. This target has been reduced in 2015 from 41,000 gigawatt-hours.
The SRES creates a financial incentive for households, small businesses and community groups to install eligible small-scale renewable energy systems such as solar water heaters, heat pumps, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, small-scale wind systems, or small-scale hydro systems. It does this by legislating demand for Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). STCs are created for these systems at the time of installation, according to the amount of electricity they are expected to produce or displace in the future. For example, the SRES allows eligible solar PV systems to create, at the time of installation, STCs equivalent to 15 years of expected system output.
Energy White Paper
The Australian Government has published an Energy White Paper (http://ewp.industry.gov.au/) that sets out an energy policy framework for delivering competitively priced and reliable energy supply to households, business and international markets through:
The white paper acknowledges that Australia has abundant solar resources. It promotes technology neutral policies. It does not include heat.
Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA)
ARENA is an independent statutory authority which commenced operations on 1 July 2012, with two objectives: to improve the competitiveness of renewable energy technologies, and to increase the supply of renewable energy in Australia. The governance of ARENA is defined by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency Act 2011.
ARENA has committed $1 billion to nearly 200 projects across a suite of renewable energy types. Industry has matched this investment with a further $1.8 billion, taking the investment in Australian renewables to a total of $2.8 billion as a result of the programme. More information on ARENA is available at: www.arena.gov.au.
Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC)
The $10 billion CEFC ($2 billion per year for five years) provides investment in renewable energy, low-emission energy technology and energy efficiency projects in Australia. The CEFC was established on 3 August 2012 under the Clean Energy Finance Corporation Act 2012. The CEFC commenced funding investments on 1 July 2013. As at 30 June 2014, the CEFC has contracted investments of over $900 million in projects with a total value of over $3 billion.
Energy Efficiency
In July 2009, the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) agreed to the comprehensive, 10-year National Strategy on Energy Efficiency (NSEE), to accelerate energy efficiency improvements and deliver cost-effective energy efficiency gains across all sectors of the Australian economy. The NSEE aims to streamline roles and responsibilities across government by providing a nationally consistent and coordinated approach to energy efficiency.

The Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES)
The SRES creates a financial incentive for owners to install eligible small-scale installations such as solar water heaters, heat pumps, solar panel systems, small-scale wind systems, or small-scale hydro systems. It does this by legislating demand for Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). STCs are created for these installations according to the amount of electricity they produce or displace. Renewable Energy Target (RET)-liable entities have a legal requirement to buy STCs and surrender them on a quarterly basis.
Solar water heater or heat pump installations are eligible if the system is new and listed in the Register of Solar Water Heaters managed by the Clean Energy Regulator. Eligible small-scale systems are entitled to create STCs based around how much renewable electricity the systems produce or displace. The number of certificates a system can create is based on the amount of electricity in megawatt hours (MWh):
This number may vary depending on geographic location, what kind of system is installed, Solar Credits eligibility, and/or the size and capacity of the installed system.
There is a legal obligation on RET-liable entities (usually electricity retailers) to purchase and surrender a certain amount of these certificates each year. The trade in these certificates thereby provides financial incentive for investment in renewable energy power stations, and for the installation of solar water heaters, heat pumps, and small-scale solar panel, wind, and hydro systems.
The certificates are created and traded through the Renewable Energy Certificate Registry, an Internet-based registry managed by the Clean Energy Regulator.
