We recently stayed here with 4 other couples (each in their own room). This was our 2nd stay at this property. We love it for the location. 5th Avenue has tons of places to visit (bars, restaurants, shops). The biggest drawback may be the parking issue. We were fortunate not to have to pay to park.

At Deerfield, everything is green: our colors, our campus, and our attitude toward the environment. We use no paper cups or plastic water bottles, and we diligently conserve energy and compost our waste. Solar panels adorn the turf roof of our science building, and each dormitory hall has assigned "environmental proctors." At Deerfield, recycling is a religion. Deerfield's strategic plan includes major initiatives to continue to improve the environmental sustainability of the campus, and our day to day activities contribute significantly to these goals.
For the past several years, Deerfield has participated in the Green Cup Challenge, an interschool energy conservation competition designed to measure a reduction in campus electricity use and raise awareness regarding our impact on the environment. The school that reduces its kWh usage, referenced to a baseline period, by the largest percentage wins the GCC Trophy. The school that reduces GHG emissions by the largest percentage is recognized with a certificate.
In addition, Deerfield runs an on-campus competition during the Green Cup Challenge. Through the month-long challenge, our students follow the success of their dormitory on our energy dashboard and compare their achievements to their on-campus peers and to other schools and rivals. The dorm that reduces its energy the most from an established baseline wins a significant prize—an on-campus activity for themselves and another dorm of their choosing, AND a cash prize proportional to dorm size. Because the Green Cup Challenge a month-long event, we believe that the changed energy consumption practices are more likely to become a learned behavior.

The age of the state is not over. Though some have written about the power of web 2.0 to topple regimes and destroy state sovereignty, the picture is a little more complicated. The Republic of Korea in the last two decades has taken on a major cultural export campaign. Led by television dramas and pop music, the "Korean Wave," as it's called, has strengthened the ROK's position as a regional power. More recently, the Republic of Korea started a comprehensive online public diplomacy campaign targeted specifically outside Korea's ordinary sphere of influence with the goal of developing soft power abroad. Through an examination of tourism statistics, public opinion polls, and Google search trends, this paper ask the question: what if any soft power was generated by these online efforts? The results, though not immediately obvious, provide an early model for a state successfully taking on the new challenges posed by information and communication technologies to generate soft power online. Download this article as a PDF. This paper was prepared as part of a course taught by Shanthi Kalathil at Georgetown University.

We, the Concerned Citizens of the Marston Community, are confused by the article published in the Daily Journal. We are very appreciative of the attempt to highlight the dilemma that we were faced with on Monday, February 4, 2013. The article stated that per Emergency Services, that CSX is responsible, however we have addressed the issue of the access to Highway 1 to this community since the closing of all crossings except one since the widening of Highway 1.
The access to Highway 1 on the Old Laurel Hill Road can only be gained by traveling a one-way path on the outskirts of the NC Wildlife Land which is a dirt path full of mud holes and low clearance, which makes it almost impossible for a car to travel.
We have made numerous attempts to have the issue of only one safe access in and out of this community. We have addressed this issue to NCDOT, Richmond County Board of Commissioners, local Fire Department, and CSX with no attempt by any of these agencies to help us find a suitable solution to ensure the residents of our safety in the event of an emergency. As the article stated by Donna Wright, time is of importance in the event of a medical emergency. We do appreciate your picture of the closing on Highway 1 and Marston Road, however, did the reporter take a picture of the access path to the crossing that enters Old Laurel Hill Road?
When we addressed the issue to the Richmond County Board of Commissioners, our County Manager stated that Richmond County did not have a dog in this fight. We asked for their help with support of contacting some agency, if the county could not help by putting down gravel, widening it for two car passage, and filling in holes to make it a suitable access if we had to use it in case of emergency. We are only asking them to band together with us to explore all avenues that may assure us that our safety is of importance and that we can reach a solution. We are tax paying citizens and we are honestly perplexed by this comment. Are we not residents of Richmond County? We realize that it will take all of these agencies to come together and help us find a solution, but when we are not supported by these agencies it is disappointing.
As a resident of this neighborhood I, Lewis Alsbrook, made the initial phone call on Monday night, to the Emergency Services, informing them that there was no access in or out of the community onto Highway 1. I was told by the dispatcher that they did not know. The article stated that Donna Wright contacted CSX regarding the closings, however an official from the DOT stated to us that both crossings had to be closed at the same time for the purpose of maintenance which were customary procedures for CSX. I was told by Emergency Services that they contacted CSX.
There were no signs on Highway 1 that the railroad crossing onto Marston Road or Old Laurel Hill Road were closed on Monday night, however signs were placed on Tuesday. Travelers trying to access Marston Road had no warning indicators that the crossing was closed, therefore causing extreme danger trying to turn around and re-enter Highway 1 north or south because the flow of traffic, which is a large number of commercial vehicles, was intense as Highway 177 and Highway 1 merge into 4 way traffic.
The concerned citizens of this community sprang into action and contacted Sheriff James Clemmons who did not know of this problem. He assured us that the sheriff's department would investigate. Your article stated the crossing at Old Laurel Hill Road was re-opened that night. Following several conversations with DOT, CSX and Emergency Services Monday night and calls from residents in the community, the Old Laurel Hill Road was re-opened per Emergency Services. No resident in this community was contacted by Emergency Services to inform us that this access had been re-opened Monday night.
Since the work on the tracks was being done by a contract company, why did CSX not inform them of the basic operating procedure that should have highlighted the need to inform the residents who would be affected by the closings? We immediately contacted all other residents in this community that we did not have access out of the community by way of Highway 1 and that if anyone needed emergency services during the night they need to tell the Emergency dispatcher that we could only be accessed by Boyd Lake Road onto Marston Road in Scotland County. It was only after the community took action that some residents, not every resident affected, received a call from Emergency services approximately one hour later. The Richmond County School system bus drivers were not notified therefore all county agencies were not notified. We were told by parents, bus drivers did not know that they could not access our community, and informed parents that they would have to take students to school, because they did not have prior knowledge of this closing which meant they would have to cross county lines. Is the Richmond County School System not a part of the Emergency notification process?
There was a follow-up call from Emergency Services on Tuesday morning to some residents, not all residents in the community. Sheriff Clemmons did come to our community on Tuesday morning and talked with residents, traveled the one-way path to access to Old Laurel Hill Road, and assured us that he and his department would do all they could to ensure our safety. We are appreciative of the help that we received after the fact, however we feel that this is not a solution to our problem. CSX railroad crossings can be closed at any time due to maintenance and/or train emergency. We, as citizens residing on this side of the CSX track should be given a safe access to Highway 1 that will not cause our safety to be at risk in case of a need for access to Highway 1.
We need another crossing that will give us access to Highway 1. The present plan that sends EMS and Fire and Rescue to Cognac Road is unacceptable. It takes far too long for them to respond in an emergency.
— Lewis Alsbrook is a concerned resident of the Marston Community, and was appointed by the community to be its representative.

Sean's Westcoast Roadtrip: Part 2

A few weeks ago, I rode to Seattle and back to LA aboard Honda's new Gold Wing F6B. Here's the story of the trip back.

Cycling in Melbourne Australia
I guess I'm not alone in accumulating too many jerseys! We all know who we are! I'm wondering whether there's an option for donating those that have been worn only a handful of times and are still in near new condition. I'm not talking about the organised rides ones, but the purchases that were great at the time, then we move onto new ones! [Maybe Melbourne Cyclist can use this as an initiative]. Anyone got any ideas?
How about offering them online to other members of Melbourne Cyclist?

With a steady stream of shaky news surrounding the Bend music scene, here's some good stuff coming out of Sisters: Angeline Rhett (owner of her own popular, namesake bakery) has converted an old church into a new music venue and pub called The Belfry.
The place holds 200 to 275 people, Rhett said, and is open for weddings, workshops, classes, meetings and other events. Oh, and concerts! (Rhett is a longtime supporter of live music; Angeline's Bakery has been a Sisters Folk Festival venue for years.)
Tonight, The Belfry will host Bend hip-hop pied piper Mosley Wotta at 7 p.m. Cover is $7.
And on Wednesday, the new stage will welcome the return of Austin, Texas, folk singer (and folk fest alum) Matt the Electrician, he of the catchy banjo-driven songs, the impressive beard, and the background as an actual electrician. An excellent catch for The Belfry's first week!
Keep up with The Belfry's goings-on at www.belfryevents.com or seek it out on Facebook.
Matt the Electrician; 7 p.m. Wednesday; $10; The Belfry, 302 Main Ave., Sisters; www.belfryevents.com.

Paralyzed Stabbing Victim Speaks Out
By: Victor Sotelo
Updated: November 23, 2012
20-year-old Raimee Brown spoke exclusively to KTAB and she says she doesn't understand why she was stabbed either.
Brown showed us her stab wounds, two in her left arm and one in her back. The stab wound in her back severed her spinal cord, leaving her paralyzed. She said as soon as she was stabbed she could not feel her legs.
She recalls the moments before she was attacked by Robert Latham in the garage apartment. She said she had just gotten out of the shower and was sitting on the couch with her back facing Latham. She then remembers waking up with her in her lap.
Brown said she recalls Latham telling her, "This is what I thought you wanted."
Some would have anger toward their attacker, but not Brown. Her reaction to Latham is surprising.
She said the attack has shown her she has so much to live for. The incident has changed her life.
Raimee said she will be in physical therapy for a long time. Doctors tell her she may never regain feeling in at least one of the legs. Brown said she will continue to push herself to fully recover.

Ouch...I would never use the public transportation in Baltimore myself (and I've lived here for two years). --Take a taxi from the airport to the city. It may cost more, but is cheaper than a trip to Shock Trauma with a gunshot or knife wound.
Tips for travelers to Baltimore:
The bus system almost ALWAYS runs late--sometimes the buses have been known to be an hour late.
Baltimore is NOT a SAFE city. Because it has some of the highest drug traffic, Baltimore is the second most violent city (the first being Detroit of course).
--Baltimore has over 700 assaults per day.
--Over 300 people are killed each year.
--Safe parts of Baltimore and bad sections are usually only a few blocks away from each other. Rolland Park, home of the wealthy and old-established families, is about five blocks away from the ghetto-esque Waverly. Ask locals or policemen to tell you where to avoid. (In Mount Vernan, for example, it is only safe two blocks east of Charles St and one block west of Charles St).
--Watch for the blue lights. The police department of Baltimore places flashing blue lights on top of streetlights in high-crime areas.
Other tips to White travelers:
Racial tensions are still prevalent in Baltimore today. Segregation still exists. Percentage-wise, the upper class is mostly White, and the lower-class is mostly Black. The middle class has long moved to the suburbs to escape the growing tensions.
--Do NOT look people directly in the eye.
--Stay indoors during the night. (Especially do not wander streets that you are unfamiliar with).
--Avoid Greenmount St.
--If an area has multiple blue lights, a police car every block, or feels unsafe, leave.
--Do not use the light train for transit. People get stabbed.
--If you are a male under 30 and see a group of early-teenage boys at dusk or later, keep an eye out and move to the other side of the street. (One of the gang initiations is to beat up a college student).
For more information about Baltimore, watch "The Wire", a HBO show about the drug trafficking and the locals admit it is very accurate in its portrayal.

The girls had the easier time of it winning 50-36, but the Cavaliers found themselves down by 14 at the half before a wild finish in a 71-64 slugfest.
The win for the Cavaliers gives them a 4-6 overall record and moves them to 3-1 in the region.
The girls are now 7-3 and 3-1 in the region.
The Cavaliers used a furious comeback in the second half to overtake Jackson after being down 14 points.
Callaway managed to go up by 12 in the fourth quarter which constituted a 26-point swing.
The contest turned into a wild west show late in the game when Jackson coach Roderick Collier and one of his players were both whistled for two technical fouls each.
The free throws made by Callaway off the technical put it up by 10 points and the game was over.
"They just lost their composure," Callaway coach Terry Hayes said.
In the first half, it was Callaway having problems finding the bottom of the net.
The Cavaliers went a cold 8-of-24 from the field, only hitting three buckets and two free throws in the second quarter.
Hayes changed his strategy starting in the fourth quarter and the move allowed the Cavs to slowly chip away at Jackson's lead.
"We came out in the second half and put on full-court, man-to-man defensive pressure," Hayes said. "We made some steals, made our shots and got back in to the ball game."
Hayes commented that full-court pressure forced Jackson out of itsrhythm and the Jaguar players were tired down the stretch.
Callaway, meanwhile, forced a number of turnovers in the second half, turning them into points.
Down by three going into the fourth quarter, Callaway made two steals that resulted in a pair of baskets.
Callaway also was in the double bonus starting at 7:36 left in the fourth quarter.
In the end, Jackson was forced to foul and when it did get the ball back, it was unable to convert at the other end.
For the Cavaliers, they were led in scoring by Nehemiah Jones, who poured in 25 points.
Teammate Brandon Bridges had 18.
In the girls game, the Lady Cavaliers never trailed in the game against Jackson.
They led 14-7 after the first quarter, 27-18 at the half, 41-28 after three and stretched their lead to as many as 19 in the second half.
Both teams played fairly even in the first quarter, but it was a decisive second quarter when Callaway coach Deyano Martins showed his hand, implementing a stifling full-court press that rattled Jackson into committing a slew of turnovers.
"When I first came out, I saw they had a lot of height, so I kind of wanted to pack the lane up and not put a lot of pressure on them," Martin said. "But as the game goes, we realized their guards were not real good ball handlers. I didn't want to put pressure on them and show it and give them time to adjust to it."
Callaway also used the second-chance shot to pad its lead with Ladasia Bray putting in eight first half points, most on put backs.
Jackson managed to cut the lead to three points in the third quarter, as the Lady Cavs went cold without scoring any points until 5:38 when Bray put in bucket, her 10th point of the game.
But just as quickly as Jackson pulled back within reach, Callaway put in three buckets to extend its lead back to 11 and shutting the Lady Jags down for the night.
Scoring for Callaway was even across the board. Bray led the way for with 11 points. Tytiyuana Gates and Monica Jackson each had six points.

Full DTTV coverage in 3 years The digital terrestrial television (DTTV) network will cover all of China in three years according to Jiang Wenbo, president of the Academy of Broadcasting Planning under the State Administration of Radio Film and Television (SARFT), speaking at a recent broadcast forum. DTTV deployment will be in two phases. The first phase will see HDTV and SDTV programmes being delivered to 37 major cities across China and the second phase will extend SDTV programme availability to China's 333 cities and 2,861 counties. China uses its own unique DTT standard called DTMB. Source: Sinocast Item added: 2nd March 2009 China expected to launch TV mobile standard soon China's broadcast industry regulator has announced that it will require mobile phone service providers in China to use a China-developed technology standard for broadcasting television signals to mobile phones. SARFT announced the new standard StiMi (Satellite Terrestrial Interactive Multi-service Infrastructure) ahead of an International forum on digital mobile standards taking place Oct/Nov 2006. The standard developed by SARFT is expected to be applied across the whole country later this month according to a researcher. Previous reports had said that system testing and proving would continue until the end of the year however this announcement would seem to indicate that these tests are already successful or complete. Trials and services using other mobile standards have been reported as taking place across China in recent months and when asked about how these are affected by this announcement a SARFT official said that " there are no conflicts of interest between Chinese mobile services" and went on to say "The real fight is between the domestic industry and foreign standard makers" Commenting on these announcements a Chinese mobile service provider is quoted as saying that it would be difficult to promote the new standard "It will take a while before cell phone TV services with the new standard can penetrate the market" and "Few people are prepared to invest in the new-born standard" Source: TMCnet Item added: 31st October 2006
Chinese Digital Terrestrial TV Broadcasting standard approved Without fuss the latest Bulletin of national standards number 8, from the Standardization Administration of China, includes a standard for Terrestrial Digital Broadcasting. Listed as item 28. The standard, number GB20600-2006 is entitled 'Framing structure, Channel coding and modulation for digital television terrestrial broadcasting system' The new standard issued on the 18th August 2006 is reported by some observers to be more generally called DMB-T/H (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting Terrestrial/Handheld) DMB-T/H is a result of work at both the Tsinghua University in Beijing and Jiaotong University in Shanghai and is thought to be more a co-existence of the two separate standards developed by these universities rather than an all embracing single standard integrating both approaches. Tsinghua's system TDS-OFDM (Time Domain Synchronous OFDM) uses multicarriers just like the DVB-T and Japanese ISDB-T whilst Jiatongs ADTB-T (Advanced Digital Television Broadcast Terrestrial) is a single carrier vestigial sideband system based on the US 8-VSB standard. Sources: Various plus Standardisation Administration of China Item added: 4th September 2006
Digital TV standard to be unveiled soon, but what about Mobile TV China will soon announce its new digital television standard and has warned that all Chinese television networks must use it if they wish to continue broadcasting, according to an article on the DTG website. The State Administration for Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) announced that the Chinese developed standard would soon be unveiled. It will then be promoted for a year before being made compulsory for use by all broadcasters. The standard is reported to cover digital terrestrial, satellite and cable TV as well as mobile television services when it launches in the next few months. However the situation on mobile TV may not be as clear as it seems. Recent press announcements seem to agree that China has just released two new contenders for the mobile TV standard. The competitors are Terrestrial-Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting (T-MMB), a derivative of South Korea's Terrestrial-Digital Multimedia Broadcasting and STiMi, short for satellite and terrestrial interaction multimedia. The DVB-H standard for mobile TV and South Korea's T-DMB standards are already on trial and the new Chinese standards will also be trialed throughout 2006. The chosen standard will then move into commercial trials during 2007 so that it is ready for the Olympics in 2008. Sources: Various plus DTG News Item added: 29th August 2006
China begins switch to digital The government of China has announced that it will introduce digital television to areas throughout the country, following a successful three-year trial. It is estimated that China has 400 million television viewers of which around 30 million are expected to sign up for digital services in the next few years. At present more than 120 pay-TV channels licensed by the state are available on cable channels both analogue and digital, using DVB-C whilst China's own system is perfected. Direct-to-home DVB-S digital broadcasts from satellite are scheduled to begin later this year so that existing analogue cable circuits do not need to be updated for the new digital services. China is still evaluating its own home designed digital terrestrial television system and the longer this takes the more likely it is that DTH digital services will be the most popular means of receiving television in the short term. According to a DTG report a number of cities, including Qingdao and Mianyang, have already completed the upgrade to digital cable while several municipalities and provinces, such as Shanghai and Guangxi, are in the midst of a switchover. Main source: DTG Item added: 23rd May 2006
Recent reports say that a draft DTT standard has been submited by SARFT Earlier this month the vice-minister of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in China (SARFT) is reported by the China People's Daily as saying" that China has developed its own digital TV standard based on the European standard" and that a draft home-grown digital terrestrial TV standard has been submitted to the National Radio, Film and Television Standardisation Commission. The draft also needs to be approved by the Standardisation Administration in China. China is also expecting to develop its own digital satellite standard as well as one for IPTV. Sources: advanced-television.com Telecompaper Item added: 30th March 2006 Digital TV progress in China China is to digitise cable TV in four stages, according to SARFT (State Administration of Radio, Film and Television). Stage one will digitise all the major cities in the eastern and western parts of the country as well as provincial capitals in the centre of China by the end of 2005. The second stage, to be completed by 2008, will digitise the remaining cities in the eastern parts and most in the western part of the country. The third stage will cover all cities defined as above country level and most counties in the middle and western areas. The final fourth stage will end in 2015 when the whole of western part of the country can connect to digital cable. The plan also mentions that China will begin direct to home satellite broadcasting in 2006 and stop analogue TV broadcasts in 2015. Terrestrial digital TV broadcasting is set to start by 2008 but China still has to decide whether to use its own home grown system or one of the other world-wide standards. Main Source: advanced television.com, 23rd August 2005 IMS Research analyses the Chinese market China had more than 25 million digital satellite TV households in a total market of 340million, at the end of 2004, according to a report form IMS Research entitled " The Chinese Market for Digital Set-Top Boxes". IMS made these estimates, which do not agree with official figures, by extensive interviews with STB manufacturers, industry professionals and others with vested interests in the satellite TV market. IMS estimate in addition that the satellite market in China will grow to 60 million by the end of 2010 if the government launch of services keeps to schedule and the extensive "grey market in STB's" continues to be tolerated.

Digital Broadcasting in China
DTTB development and deployment China is progressing with the development of its own system for Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting (DTTB), although some DVB-T services continue to be used in several cities across China.
There are three domestic competitors vying for the standard choice in China: Tsinghua University (DMB-T), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (ADBT-T) and the Academy of Broadcasting Science (ABS). At the present time Digital Cable systems are the main focus with DTTB development being a lower priority.
DVB-C deployment Chinese industry and the Administration has concentrated on the deployment of DVB-C services in recent years with a view to meeting the target of 30 million DVB-C subscribers at the end of 2005.
The business model proposed by SARFT focuses on free set-top-boxes being distributed by the cable operators. Individual operators would prefer lower cost alternatives such as IDTVs being sold with decoders already included.
DTH Service SARFT would like to use DTH to extend the coverage of television services outside the urban areas.
DVB-S2 remains the favoured solution in the industry and SARFT are planning studies to evaluate the performance of DVB-S2 systems. DVB, 4th April 2005
Mobile TV: Will DVB have a market in China In the DVB-SCENE issue 13, page 9, Scot Ge , Editor of Broadcast & Production China, gives his personal opinion on the continued use of DVB-T in China. To read the full article click on the link below to download the complete magazine, absolutely free.
China is developing its own Digital Terrestrial TV system (DTT) and still has to decide which system to use. From an initial six system designs only two remain. These are ADB-T (Advanced Digital Broadcasting Terrestrial) which is a single carrier system from Jiao Tong University in Shanghai and DMB-T (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting Terrestrial) a multicarrier system from Beijing's Tsinghua University. An additional multicarrier system called Timi was also demonstrated in October at ISBT2003 but the status of this development is not known. DVB-T fixed and mobile trials have been taking place in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other cities may also take part. The trial in Shanghai enables bus passengers to watch digital news, sport, stock exchange reports and commercials from 11 Shanghai TV stations. DVB-T, ATSC (8-VSB) and ISDB-T are still being considered in the decision making process which should occur during 2005 or at the latest 2006.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have just completed radiation therapy, following successful neo-adjuvant chemo and a lumpectomy (1.5 cm). Can I have my radiation tattoos removed with a laser, or do I need to keep them?
Maggie Hampshire, BSN, OCN, Radiation Therapy Nurse at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
The ink used to tattoo you for treatment can be removed by a laser technique, just like laser tattoo removal for regular skin tattoos. However, we strongly advise against this, as these marks can help with your long-term follow up care. For example, during breast examinations, your physician will be paying a great deal of attention to the previously treated area while checking for tumor recurrence. In the unfortunate case that you would need radiation treatment again, your physician uses these marks to locate the exact area of prior treatment (i.e. "the radiation field"). So, while we understand that to you, these marks may be a painful reminder of your treatment, to us, they can be useful tools to help guide your care and monitor your post-treatment health.Ms. Gambino talks about the complexity of cancer care and the need for patients and families to have help in navigating from diagnosis and treatment decisions to survivorship.

With a few signatures, officials with the Boeing Co. delivered the first 787 built outside Puget Sound to Air India at the company's North Charleston Delivery Center Friday. An Air India official said the two 787s already in service are getting positive reviews.

Eric Swanson has been with the first Lowcountry-built Dreamliner from its partial assembly in the mid-body plant to the flight line.
"It's exciting to see it come from power-off all the way through the final assembly," Swanson said, standing in the business class section of the first locally built 787 today during its delivery to Air India. "It was fantastic."
With a few signatures, officials with the Boeing Co. delivered the first 787 built outside Puget Sound to Air India at the company's North Charleston Delivery Center. Outside, they cut a ribbon with oversized scissors and gave tours of the airplane, which seats about 250 passengers.
"To the Boeing South Carolina team, what a phenomenal, phenomenal execution on what had to be done," said Jack Jones, general manager and vice president of Boeing South Carolina. "History is when you do it for the first time."

K.M. Unni, COO of Air India and a board member, said the two 787s already in service are getting positive reviews and the plane will be a part of the airline's business plan.
Its range will make new routes viable, and Air India plans to begin 787 service to London, Frankfurt and Paris by midmonth. The Dreamliner could also open routes from India to Australia.
Unni said the few GEnx engine issues — a GEnx engine on a different Lowcountry-built 787 failed during ground testing months ago — won't interfere with deliveries. Boeing and the airline are testing the engines, many of which are outfitted on the 787s built in North Charleston. Air India expects to receive eight 787s by March 31, which includes the first three that have been delivered.
Officials also addressed the delays in Air India's deliveries, which were expected earlier this year. The delays came in part because of the approval process Air India went through as a government-owned airline, said Dinesh Keskar, senior vice president of Asia Pacific and India Sales for Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The airline had to take the compensation package, which hasn't been disclosed, to the upper levels of the Indian government for approval.
"We were patient," Keskar said, adding the bottom line is Air India is taking all of its 787 orders and if a business is impatient in that country, it will come back with nothing.
Years ago, Unni said he received the contract for Air India's Dreamliners, and he immediately opened it to find he would receive his new airplanes from somewhere other than Puget Sound. He was concerned at first, but those concerns eased through discussions with Boeing.
"We're beginning the foundation of a long partnership with the Charleston facility," Unni said, adding the next five or six 787s will be built by North Charleston workers.
Jones said the delivery brings Boeing South Carolina full circle. Workers finished building the first 787, pilots flew it and now Air India accepted it. The company is focused on increasing its rate, but Jones didn't say how many Dreamliners North Charleston could finish by the end of the year, though he did say the facility is on pace to support the total projection of 75 deliveries this year companywide, which are a mix of 747s and 787s.
Jones reminded everyone that the site was undeveloped in 2009, when Boeing made its decision to open its final assembly and delivery facilities in North Charleston. Since then, the company hired about 6,100 employees and has finished three other Dreamliners in addition to the 787 delivered today. One of those employees, Swanson, has seen the first Lowcountry-built Dreamliner move through most of the assembly process.
He moved to Charleston about two years ago, when his family decided to move east from Atlanta, where he was an avionics instructor.
"The family decided that we were going to move here, and it was about the same time that they really started ramping up the hiring here," Swanson said. "It was quite a stroke of luck that my skills (matched) what they needed here."
The first Lowcountry-built 787 is scheduled to fly to India in the next few days, and depending on the day, Swanson plans to go to Charleston International Airport and watch it depart.
"It's bittersweet," Swanson said of the delivery and the 787's departure. "We know it has to go; we're sad to see it go, but it's something you've got to do."

Biden pledges urgent action on gun violence
WASHINGTON – Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday vowed urgent action against gun violence in America, pledging steps by the Obama administration that he said could "take thousands of people out of harm's way" and improve the safety of millions more.
But a day ahead of a meeting with the National Rifle Association, which has blunted past gun control efforts and is opposing any new ones, Biden signaled that the administration is mindful of political realities that could imperil sweeping gun control legislation, and is willing to settle for something less. He said the administration is considering its own executive action as well as measures by Congress, but he didn't offer specifics.
"I want to make it clear that we are not going to get caught up in the notion that unless we can do everything, we're going to do nothing," Biden told an array of gun control advocates, crime victims and others at the White House. "It's critically important we act."

Im thinking of getting Ipad2. Its still has its short comings.
Anyone here is jumping on the tablet bandwagon? Devices like Moto Xoom, Samsung Tab etc. Lets discuss!
Im thinking of getting Ipad2. Its still has its short comings.
Anyone here is jumping on the tablet bandwagon? Devices like Moto Xoom, Samsung Tab etc. Lets discuss!
ipad2 3g white still no stock ... wait another 2 weeks
used the ipad... so far....
- most frustrating part: NO flash flv/swf media playable in the safari web browser... all u see is a black hole/box in it...
- Youtube is the only app that can play .flv files...(from Youtube site only)
- neither can u download stuff and keep or run 'cept from App Stores...
- third party movies run off a VLC app which for now has been yanked from App Stores...
- No external storage - everything is thru the dreaded iTunes interface...
NOW will either get the Xoom or the Galaxy tab and see if it is better... Dell's Streak 7" taking a long time to get here....
Look no further than the Asus EEE Pad Transformer. Probably the best value Android Tablet available at the moment. Only RM1489 for 16G WiFi version, or RM1799 with the keyboard. Seems like first batch all sold out yesterday during the launch at Midvalley.Originally Posted by USJ27Resident
Oww... 300 bucks for the keyboard - well, I guess with the built in extra batteries in the keyboard docking allowing battery life to 16 hours is worth the extra $$$. Plus got the USB connection from the keyboard, now that wud be pretty awesome... (even more storage!) Summore running on Android 3.0...... nosebleed!!Originally Posted by FineTuned
Word has it that the next batch of Transformers coming in June may already have Honeycomb 3.1. loadedOriginally Posted by USJ27Resident
And also watch out for the secretive new hybrid from Asus...to be announced tomorrow. Looks like it's a super thin smartphone which can be docked into a tablet....now that's what I'm really looking for! Currently I'm targetting to get a Motorola Defy (dump the stock Eclair and CM7 it, of course) plus an Asus Transformer but if this rumour turns out to be true, I will probably go for the hybrid instead lah.
Watch out for a "new" platform, HP webOS, and they will be launching their Touchpad in a big way starting June and possibly hit our shores later this year. WebOS has arguably the best UI for mobile devices today and the best multi-tasking experience. Yes and it has flash too.

It'll also likely be priced much higher than the Transformer and Ipad2. WebOS, historically, has been all promises and no delivery, so I'm not keeping my hopes up for a iOS or Honeycomb killer here. However, seeing is believing, so.....Originally Posted by Charbroiled
There is still much room in the tablet market though yes Apple is far ahead at the moment. I have an iPad but share the frustrations on the limitations of the device such as lack of flash support and relatively poor multitasking.
Android has potential no doubt but I'd like to see more options not under Google's massive influence.
It's true HP must deliver the device globally and since it's all about apps, attract enough developers over, and make their app store truly global too. At least android apps are purchasable in Malaysia now.
The next 6 months should be interesting.
What is the point of these things anyway?
Is my life missing something if i do not have one?
But O, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes.

Is this address in the new iPad2?Originally Posted by palmdoc
I don't think Apple actually addressed the multitasking performance via iOS upgrade....it simply popped in a Dual Core, and doubled the memory to 512mb. This would of course create the immediate `impression' that the Ipad2 is better at multitasking than the original Ipad. The next Ipad3, with higher hardware specs, would again be better than Ipad2 following this logic.Originally Posted by DarkNite
Honeycomb devices generally `multitask' better than the iOS counterparts but then again, they usually have double the ram of the Ipad2 to play with, and suffer poorer battery life as a result.
In any case, compact mobile devices like these cannot really multitask like your average desktop pc....unless they start adding in SSDs to enable virtual memory swapping or increase the ram further maybe to 4Gb+. But it means higher cost, and poorer battery life. There's no magic formula for success.
I dont even have a 3G phone, let alone anything start with i..Originally Posted by Hiliary
I see people carry these gadgets while taking breakfast, lunch, walking, in the lift, near the pool, and even in the gym !!
sometimes I asked myself what is wrong with me, everyone seems so busy and need to keep in touch instantly anytime and anywhere, and I am just too freaking free, dont even want to reply email using a phone !!

Leti and Michelin invent the electronic tire
In a departure from the lab's typical developments for the high-tech industry, Leti recently collaborated with tire maker Michelin on an original product: RFID chips for the company's heavy tires. The chips will provide information like the plant and date of manufacture, purchase date, repairs, and retreading.

The Steelers (5-3) snapped New York's four-game winning streak by overcoming some uncharacteristic sloppiness and dominating the second half.
Temporary relief from the destruction of Superstorm Sandy was what New York's fans sought, and the Giants (6-3) provided it for a while. But they couldn't stop Redman or touchdowns of 51 yards for Mike Wallace and 4 yards for Emmanuel Sanders on passes from Ben Roethlisberger.
The Steelers arrived in New Jersey hours before the game, which might have accounted for their carelessness. They had the fewest giveaways in the NFL entering the game, but were neglectful with the ball and in pass coverage; cornerback Keenan Lewis had 87 yards on two pass interference penalties, and they wasted some great kick returns, too.
INDIANAPOLIS — Andrew Luck broke the NFL's single-game rookie record by throwing for 433 yards in leading Indianapolis.
Luck was 30 of 48 with two TDs and broke Cam Newton's previous mark of 422 yards set last season. And it came on the day coach Chuck Pagano returned to Lucas Oil Stadium for the first time since being diagnosed with leukemia.
Indy (5-3) has won three straight.
Miami (4-4) got another strong performance from Ryan Tannehill, too. He went 22 of 38 for 290 yards with one TD.
The rookie quarterbacks traded jabs all day, but Luck's 36-yard TD pass to T.Y. Hilton gave Indy a 20-17 lead, and Adam Vinatieri's 43-yard field goal with 6:03 left broke a 20-20 tie.
OAKLAND, Calif. — Rookie Doug Martin rushed for a franchise-record 251 yards and four touchdowns and Ahmad Black intercepted a Carson Palmer pass after Oakland had cut an 18-point deficit to three late in the fourth quarter.
Martin, who was born in Oakland, had a memorable homecoming for the Bucs (4-4) by scoring on runs of 1, 45, 67 and 70 yards in the second half as he gashed what had been an improved run defense for the Raiders (3-5).
Martin, the 31st pick in April out of Boise State, became the first back since at least 1940 to score on three TD runs of at least 45 yards in one game, according to STATS LLC.
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Tom Crabtree had a 72-yard touchdown that was Green Bay's longest of the season, and Randall Cobb added two scoring catches.
The Packers (6-3) finished with a season-high 176 yards rushing on 39 carries, the first time in a month they've cracked the century mark.
James Jones also had a touchdown reception, and Green Bay goes into its bye week with a four-game winning streak.
The break comes at a good time for the Packers, who lost Clay Matthews, Jordy Nelson and Bryan Bulaga to injuries.
John Skelton was 23 of 46 for 306 yards, his most passing yardage since last December, but Arizona (4-5) lost its' fifth straight.
HOUSTON — Matt Schaub threw two touchdown passes and Arian Foster ran for 111 yards against Buffalo's NFL-worst rushing defense.
Andre Johnson caught eight passes for 118 yards and Foster scored for the fifth straight game for Houston (7-1).
Mario Williams had a sack and five tackles in his return to Reliant Stadium after he signed with the Bills (3-5) in the offseason. The Texans made Williams the No. 1 pick in the 2006 draft and he's still Houston's career sacks leader (53).
Schaub won for the 10th time in 11 starts. He completed 19 of 27 passes for 268 yards.
LANDOVER, Md. — Cam Newton completed 13 of 23 passes for 201 yards with a touchdown and ran eight times for 37 yards and a score as Carolina snapped a five-game losing streak.
The Panthers (2-6) were in desperate need of a win after a series of close defeats that had players questioning whether the team had any leadership. Newton responded with one of his best games of the season, including a 19-yard touchdown pass to Steve Smith and an 82-yard completion that set up a score.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Brian Urlacher became the latest Chicago defender to return an interception for a touchdown and Jay Cutler threw three TD passes to Brandon Marshall. Cornerback Charles Tillman forced four fumbles and Chicago created five turnovers while winning its sixth in a row.
The Bears (7-1) scored a franchise-record 28 points in the first quarter. They took control by forcing three turnovers in the first 13 minutes and turning them into 14 points. Urlacher went 46 yards for his score.
SEATTLE — Marshawn Lynch ran for 124 yards and a touchdown, rookie QB Russell Wilson threw three first-half touchdowns, and Seattle overcame 182 yards rushing by Adrian Peterson.
The matchup between the top two rushers in the NFL — Peterson and Lynch — didn't disappoint with Peterson having his best game since 2008. Lynch ran for a 3-yard TD in the third quarter, while Wilson threw TD passes of 11 yards to Sidney Rice, and TDs of 6 and 11 yards to Golden Tate for the Seahawks (5-4).
CINCINNATI — Peyton Manning overcame a pair of interceptions by throwing three touchdown passes.
Trindon Holliday also returned a kickoff a Broncos-record 105 yards for a touchdown.
Manning improved to 8-0 career against Cincinnati (3-5), which has lost four in a row for the first time in two years. This win didn't come so easily. The four-time MVP threw a pair of interceptions — one in the end zone — that led to 10 points and a 20-17 Cincinnati lead early in the fourth quarter.
CLEVELAND — Joe Flacco threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Torrey Smith with 4:26 as Baltimore won its 11th straight game inside the AFC North.
Smith caught Flacco's strike and spun away from cornerback Joe Haden as the Ravens (6-2) beat the Browns (2-7) for the 10th consecutive time. It was also Baltimore's 15th straight win following a loss, and helped the Ravens shake off a 30-point loss to Houston two weeks ago.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Mikel Leshoure ran for three touchdowns, Calvin Johnson got involved early and Detroit turned in its most complete victory of the season.
Detroit built a three-score lead before halftime and coasted after the break. It was a much different feeling for the Lions (4-4), who trailed in the second half in each of their other wins.

It was one of the more memorable scenes in the award-winning 2009 documentary, Food Inc. Carole Morison, a contracted chicken farmer working with Perdue for more than 23 years, gave viewers a glimpse of the horrors of factory farming: birds crippled by their unnatural weight, piles of dead birds, the overwhelming stench of ammonia burning her eyes and throat. Perdue dropped its contract with Morison in 2008, but now the farm is thriving with chickens being raised sustainably.

Theme & Amusement Parks in Culpeper
Recommended Theme & Amusement Parks by Groupon Customers
Across 5,000 square feet and two levels of obstacle-laden territory, taggers crouch around corners, rain lightning from the towers, and blend in with the dense vapor of the king's electric fog machine. During each 15-minute round, young squires can defend the keep for themselves or align with fellow beam archers in the name of the queen, the fiefdom, or love. To the victor go the bragging rights and a seat at the round table at home for family taco night.
Ultrazone Laser Tag might be familiar to fans of The Real World, whose cast members—fed up with drama—blew off steam by ducking colorful laser beams in the sprawling multilevel arena's fog-filled maze. There's enough space for 45 vest-clad players to face off at one time, and plasma monitors let the next wave watch the game as they eagerly await their turn. The expansive recreation center also hosts sleepover parties that grant exclusive overnight use of the laser-tag facilities, the plasma-screen theater, and the room that's inexplicably full of doorknobs. Outside the arena, an arcade keeps synapses ablaze with video games, air hockey, and golf simulators, supplemented with slices of Papa John's pizza from the cafe.
MoBu Kids' founder Melissa Steele devoted her time to entire classes of children for eight years before retiring to care for her two favorite youngsters—her son and daughter. Shortly after the birth of her son in 2005, Melissa opened MoBu Kids, an indoor playground and classroom for kids that was voted ParentsConnect Parents' Picks Best Kids' Party Place in 2010 and Best Indoor Playspace in 2009. During open play, youngsters scramble atop custom-designed foam playground equipment and roll around safe gymnastics flooring like Olympic-level tumbleweeds. They also test footholds in a rock-climbing wall and zoom down the slide of a petite tree house.
A more structured blend of learning and recreation characterizes small classes led by energetic instructors. Music and movement strengthens the link between notes and motion, bolstering language or motor and social skills according to age. Art-class masterpieces spring from the colorful depictions in a storybook, and ballet encourages dancers to forge creative steps, like the stubbed toe hop. Similar themes run through summer camps and private birthday parties.
Sitting behind the wheel of a 32 Sodi RX7 kart has a way of making you feel like a professional stunt driver. Maybe it's zipping up your driver's suit, or snapping on your helmet. Either way, at Summit Point Kart, all participants get the look they want and the safety orientation they need to cut turns like Andretti when they take on that piece of half-mile track known as the Washington Circuit.
Overhead, lights blaze down on the track's 20 turns, so karters can race well into the evening or on that day after summer solstice when the sun is too partied out to get out of bed. Racers who get hooked can get themselves a yearly membership card, which discounts the price of racing credits. Little ones enamored with the track can enlist in kart school, a daylong camp that builds confidence behind the wheel.
Ultrazone Family Entertainment crafts adrenaline-filled afternoons, birthday parties, and events with a laser-tag arena and myriad in-house or rentable games and carnival attractions. Neon lights cast a hazy glow over the obstacles filling the state-of-the-art laser-tag battlefield, where combatants wield light-emitting artillery in 25-minute bouts. Guests and confused mountain goats scale the rock-climbing simulator overlooking the main hall's arcade and pinball games. The facility opens up the funscapades to birthday parties, complete with soda, Papa John's pizza, and two rounds of laser tag. Shindigs get customized with carnival rentals such as themed moonwalks, portable rock-climbing walls, and inflatable suits for sumo-wrestling matchups or attending balloon-animal weddings.

Warm Canadian Winter Thaws Outdoor Fun
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. The frigid temperatures of Winnipeg, Canada are legendary, so much so it's called Winterpeg. But this winter is one of the warmest in a century, which has forced an annual festival that includes a snow sculpting competition to truck in snow. Winnipeggers are happy to put away the snow shovels, but the machine-made stuff may disappoint the international snow artists, especially those up from Mexico expecting the real thing. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.
