The Village of Lewiston asks readers to vote the Historic Frontier House as one of the 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. The National Trust for Historic Preservation is currently accepting nominations for the 2012 list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places.
National Trust for Historic Preservation now accepting nominations for 2012 America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places list
The National Trust for Historic Preservation is accepting nominations for its 25th annual list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. For a quarter century, this list has highlighted important examples of the nation's architectural, cultural and natural heritage that are at risk for destruction or irreparable damage. Nominations are due on Feb. 17. The 2012 list will be announced in June.
"Historic places are a tangible reminder of who we are as a nation," said Stephanie Meeks, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. "For 25 years, the National Trust's list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places has helped shine a spotlight on threatened historic places throughout the nation, helping not only to preserve these places, but also galvanizing local support for the preservation of other unique, irreplaceable treasures that make our nation and local communities special."
More than 200 threatened one-of-a-kind historic treasures have been identified on the list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places since 1988. Whether these sites are urban districts or rural landscapes, Native American landmarks or 20th-century sports arenas, entire communities or single buildings, the list spotlights historic places across America that are facing a range of threats, including insufficient funds, inappropriate development or insensitive public policy. The designation has been a powerful tool for raising awareness and rallying resources to save endangered sites from every region of the country. At times, that attention has garnered public support to quickly rescue a treasured landmark. In other instances, it has been the impetus of a long battle to save an important piece of history. The list has been so successful in galvanizing preservation efforts across the country and rallying resources to save endangered places that, in just two decades, only eight sites have been lost.
The places on the list need not be famous, but they must be significant within their own cultural context, illustrate important issues in preservation and have a need for immediate action to stop or reverse serious threats. All nominations are subject to an extensive, rigorous vetting process.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a privately funded nonprofit organization, works to save America's historic places to enrich our future. For more information, visit www.PreservationNation.org.

ABC's 'Resurrection' strong, Fox's 'Idol' weak
NEW YORK (AP) — Those repeated ads about a dead boy returning to his father after 32 years struck a nerve with television viewers, who proved curious enough to check out the debut of ABC's new drama "Resurrection."
The series drew just under 14 million viewers for its debut on Sunday night, more than AMC's "The Walking Dead" or any other program on what is usually television's biggest night of viewing, the Nielsen ratings company said.
That's behind only CBS' "Intelligence" as the most-watched drama debut of the season, Nielsen said. It's the best opening for a Sunday night drama on ABC since "Brothers & Sisters" in 2006.
Fox's "Cosmos" debuted to 6.6 million people on Sunday night, a strong showing for a program that's unusual for the network. It was Fox's most-watched program last week after "American Idol."
The news isn't particularly good for "Idol," however. The long-running hit reached just under 9.8 million people on Thursday, its second-smallest Thursday audience ever and the smallest audience among the 18-to-49-year-old demographic that Fox seeks. NBC's "The Voice" is now the clear favorite in music competition shows.
Behind the top-rated comedy "The Big Bang Theory," CBS won the week with a prime-time average of 9.3 million viewers. NBC had 6.7 million viewers, ABC had 5.9 million, Fox had 4.7 million, Univision had 2.7 million, the CW had 1.5 million, ION Television had 1.3 million and Telemundo had 1.1 million.
ESPN was the nation's most popular cable network, averaging 2.8 million viewers in prime time. USA had 2.27 million, the Disney Channel had 2.23 million, TBS had 2.22 million and AMC had 1.7 million.
NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 9.7 million viewers. ABC's "World News" was second with 8.5 million, and the "CBS Evening News" had 7.6 million viewers.
For the week of March 3-9, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: "The Big Bang Theory," CBS, 18.09 million; "NCIS," CBS, 17.85 million; "The Voice" (Monday), NBC, 15.62 million; "The Voice" (Tuesday), NBC, 14.53 million; "NCIS: Los Angeles," CBS, 14.37 million; "Resurrection," ABC, 13.9 million; "The Walking Dead," AMC, 12.65 million; "Blue Bloods," CBS, 12.03 million; "The Millers," CBS, 11.58 million; "Criminal Minds," CBS, 11.42 million.
ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. CBS is owned by CBS Corp. CW is a joint venture of Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corp. Fox is owned by 21st Century Fox. NBC and Telemundo are owned by Comcast Corp. ION Television is owned by ION Media Networks.

By: Dr Lynda Kelly, Category: Museullaneous, Date: 31 Aug 2010
Here's a summary of findings from the Life and Death Under the Pharaohs 1998 exhibition evaluation
A total of 299 visitors were surveyed throughout the duration of the exhibition which was held in July-October 1998. Key findings:
Achievement of objectives
Objective 1: To increase understanding of ancient Egypt as an important historical culture.
Based on visitor responses to the recall question in the survey this objective has been achieved - key interest areas included mystery, romance of subject; interest in the advanced culture and technology of the time; personal interest in ancient history and archaeology, specifically Egypt. There continues to be a big interest in this type of exhibition with 57% of people surveyed coming because of their interest in the subject matter and 97% coming especially to see the exhibition.
Objective 2: To provide an exciting, enjoyable learning experience for a range of visitors.
The exhibition attracted a range of visitors. Overall there seemed to be general satisfaction with the exhibition based on visitor ratings and visitor were able to recall key themes and items that they remembered and liked. From the visitor survey most of the negative comments related to issues of crowding, lighting, queuing and small label text. 73% of visitors surveyed thought that the exhibition met or exceeded their expectations from the advertising they had seen.
Objective 3: To attract visitors to Life and Death under the Pharaohs, and therefore increase new and repeat users of Museum programs overall.
115,686 people visited Pharaohs - a 51% increase in visitor numbers from 1997 to 1998. A general upward trend in visits to Australian Museum in 1998 was shown in an external monitoring report continuing the success of the Spiders! exhibition. More lapsed visitors (visited more than 2 years ago) - 42% came to the exhibition and a different psychographic visited Pharaohs ("individualistic, out and about") compared to January 1998 (Spiders!) which attracted a broader family audience. The exhibition attracted more Art Gallery visitors in July 1998 than July 1997 and more Sydney-based people.

Rokita to participate in Aspen-Rodel Fellowship Series Asian Seminar
Contact: Allison Fore
INDIANAPOLIS (July 27, 2007) – Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita will join elected officials from around the nation in the coming week as they participate in the next Aspen-Rodel Fellowship in Public Leadership event – an Asian seminar in China and India.
Rokita was selected in 2006 to participate in the bipartisan program developed for top young political leaders and elected officials. Sponsored by the Aspen Institute, the series gathers officials from various levels of public service throughout the United States to explore their roles in government and to discuss principles in American democracy -- all for the purpose of building stronger bipartisan leadership. The invitation-only program engages its members in three weekend-long seminars and two overseas trips over a period of two years.
The group will spend three days in Beijing, during which time they will meet with government officials and attend briefings on topics such as economic development, political activism, energy and the environment, and intellectual property rights. The group will then fly to New Delhi for two days of meetings with Indian government and industry leaders.
Following the conclusion of the seminar, Secretary Rokita will remain in India for three additional days of meetings, coordinated with the assistance of leaders in Indiana's Indian community.
"The India Association of Indianapolis is excited and encouraged by Secretary Rokita's interest in building a stronger bridge between India and Indiana," said Raju Chinthala, president of the Association. "This mission has the potential to strengthen ties between Indian businesses and our state, and to create opportunities for future investment here in Indiana. Improving cultural understanding and opening the door for exchanging ideas is a critical first step, and we applaud Secretary Rokita's willingness to take that step on behalf of Hoosiers."
About the Aspen Institute
Founded in 1950, the Aspen Institute is an international nonprofit organization created to promote growth in leadership and open-minded dialogue. The Institute has partnerships worldwide and organizes bipartisan discussion in the form of seminars, policy programs, conferences and leadership development initiatives. The Institute fully sponsors the Aspen-Rodel Fellowship in Public Leadership.

[Exclusive Review] 999 Samsung YP-W3
Do you know the YP-W3?
It's the rarest and most exclusive Samsung DAP ever released, unveiled at CES 2005 in January. It has a nice neo-retro design, like an old pocket watch. And indeed, it can display time with hands! A cool device for rich people.
The different versions
Pictures in that section are not from me. They belong to their respective owners.
The W3 came in a standard edition in June 2005 but also previously in a luxurious Limited Edition studded with diamonds in March 2005. It's "funny" to notice that the standard edition already cost much money and is almost as rare as the diamond edition. That is why this is a very exclusive player, whatever the version.
I had the chance of my collector's lifetime some days ago when I found the diamond version for sale at a very low price.
Then I began to search everywhere on the internet for info about that player to be able to offer you this well-researched review.
Standard edition
The standard edition was sold together with in-ear earphones EP-450, a white leather carrying case, a USB cable, a neck strap, the user manual and the installation CD.
Based on my findings, it only sold in 2 countries, obviously in a few quantities: China and South Korea. Available in 256MB, 512MB (339,000 won = ~$335 or ~€275 at the time) and 1GB (399,000 won = ~$395 or ~€325 at the time) capacities.
This version is also referenced by Samsung Singapore and Netherlands websites but I found no evidence that the W3 actually sold there.
Photo reviews:

Korea: http://www.popco.net/zboard/zboard.php?id=...c=asc&no=11
China: http://minivian.tistory.com/49
China: http://www.imp3.net/1/show.php?itemid=3298
Diamond edition
The Limited Edition features 8 natural diamonds - 0.007 carat each - (Certificate of Authenticity included), a scratch-resistant sapphire glass and a more luxurious packaging with more accessories: presentation wooden box, portable case, Louis Quatorze Paris white leather carrying case, belt chain case, EP-1 earphones, wall-charger, 2 different sizes USB cables, cotton tissue, neck strap, belt chain etc etc
Several media also said it is white gold (18 carats) plated but the official Korean website only specified Platinum. So more likely it is only platinum plated.
The EP-1 earphones were Samsung's best at the time, reviewed here in english. Their price was 100,000 Won in Korea, about €80 or $99 at the time.
This version only sold in 3 countries in a very few limited quantities: China (88 units, 8888 yuan = ~$1075 or ~€880 at the time), Hong-Kong (30 units, HK$6,800 = ~$875 or ~€715 at the time), Korea (200 units, 899,000 won = ~$890 or ~€730 at the time) and France (30 units, €999 =~$1220)
It seems that a US release was once planned (referenced by the Samsung US website, english user manual by Samsung Electronics America, spare parts available on samsungparts.com located in the USA) but as far as I know, the W3 actually never sold there.
Thus, if all my sources are correct, barely 350 units of the diamond version were sold worldwide.
The 200 units sold out in less than 3 days in Korea! A store representative commented, "The majority of the purchasers were business men who have purchasing power and who are in their 30's and 40's. Most of them purchased the YP-W3 as a collector's item."

The specs are not particularly impressive:
My diamond YP-W3
Sorry for the poor picture quality. Have a look at the photo reviews above for better pics.
I have known this player for years now and I long hoped to spot it for sale. Of course the probability was very low and I finally thought that would never happen. Indeed, Chinese and Korean people usually live in their own internet world, they don't use the same shopping and auction websites as we do, for exemple no ebay. And it is very difficult for us to buy something on their local websites because of the language barrier and the different ways of payment.
That is why I could only count on French people. But according to a single source dated March 2005, only 30 units have reportedly been reserved for the French market and sold in a few stores at a price of €999.
As regards the second-hand market, I know that the diamond W3 went for sale once on ebay.fr in January 2008 for €200 http://feedback.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...tab=AllFeedback but unfortunately I missed the auction at the time.
It might be that this is only the 2nd time since 2008 that there is such an opportunity to get this player. I am very lucky since the auction title on ebay.fr was "Mp3 Samsung". Typing "YP-W3" or "W3" in the ebay search engine would not have helped at all. I'm also lucky because the "buy it now" price was only €70 (=~$90), which is more than 10 times cheaper than the original price. However the player is not in perfect condition and some original accessories are missing. Indeed, I don't have the wooden box, the EP-1 earphones, the Certificate of Authenticity for diamonds, the neck strap, the belt chain case, the cotton tissue, the user manual and the installation CD. That being said, €70 for the YP-W3, the Louis Quatorze Paris leather carrying case, the portable case, the 2 USB cables as well as the wall charger is still a very very good deal!
My YP-W3 was made in Korea in March 2005 and obviously it did not stay in a showcase like a collector's item during all this time. Actually the previous owner used it as a simple mp3 player, that is why you can see some signs of wear on the pictures. Moreover, the battery is slowly dying. That being said, it is still in a very good condition. The sapphire glass made the job: not a single scratch on the screen. No doubt that even 7 years later, the W3 is still a beautiful device. The 8 small diamonds make it a desirable jewel for women. The first time you hold it in your hand is very surprising: its 68g are not so light, you feel it is heavy, some people like it, others don't. Overall, the build quality is good. Only the hold slider and the black plastic of the 3.5mm output look a bit "cheap".
User Interface
When you first press the play button, it only displays the analog clock. Actually, you only have the choice between analog and digital type for the clock that displays as screen saver during music playback. This restriction is not really annoying since it is with the analog clock that the W3 looks the most classy. That way it really looks like an old pocket watch with its four-grayscale screen and the blue backlight. Some of the rare reviews at the time blamed it for not featuring a color screen. But a color screen would not have been coherent with the retro concept.
When you press the play button once again, it really starts the MP3 player.
The User Interface has been especially made for this player (while many Samsung DAPs shared a common UI at the time) and indeed the R&D did not really have the choice for that since it is one of the very few players to have a round screen. Well, actually it is a simple square LCD screen with unused edges. However, the (unknown) display resolution is not enough to hide the visible aliasing on the circle or on the clock hands.
The main menu looks rather good with its graphical icons. Unfortunately the screen is not large enough to display text without scrolling.
For the navigation and playback controls there are tactile buttons (play/pause, rec, menu, hold) as well as touch keys (up, down, prev, next) with nice blue backlight. Of course it exists more ergonomic DAPs (the touchpad is not perfect as usual) but I already reviewed worse too. Overall, the navigation is intuitive.
There is no navigation by tags here, only a files and folders browser. Surprisingly the W3 doesn't seem to support playlists.
The now playing screen is quite overloaded but doesn't display so much good information though. This is partly due to the round screen and some useless things like the peak meter. First, the file name is scrolling then come the id3tags. It doesn't really like my id3tags v2.3 since it displays Asian characters instead... The scrolling is very slow (no speed setting) which quickly gets very annoying. The file format is displayed (mp3, wma, ogg) but unfortunately this is not the case for the bitrate. The volume control on right side of the screen is nice.
Sound quality
What about the SQ? If you read carefully so far, you would understand that the very high price doesn't justify a particular and exceptional audio processing. The limited edition doesn't sound better than the standard edition 3 times cheaper which doesn't sound better than the other still cheaper 2005 Samsung flash-players. It just sounds OK, nothing really exciting. Modern players do a better job. No DNSe sound effects here, the W3 still belongs to the SRS-WOW generation. It seems that the firmware is slightly different between the limited edition and the standard edition released later since my W3 doesn't feature a 5-band user EQ contrary to the standard version. But the most annoying thing here is the audible hiss and background noise with sensitive IEM. Unfortunately I don't have the original EP-1 earphones so I can't tell you how they sound.
FM radio
Contrary to the now playing screen, the FM UI is completely uncluttered. There is only the current frequency and the battery indicator, as well as the preselections if used. The tuner picks up well, nothing to complain about here. Moreover the radio can be recorded, a feature that is unfortunately missing on some recent Samsung DAPs. However, you can't navigate on the device while listening to the FM radio.
PC connection/transfers
Good point, the W3 is full UMS/MSC and the transfer rates are surprisingly good for a 2005 flash-player. Indeed, 258MB of music files have been transferred in 38 seconds, that is to say 6,8MB/s in average. Unfortunately the device has a proprietary USB connector.
The YP-W3, the Sansa Clip Zip and the new Samsung YP-W1.
The YP-W3 is undoubtedly a unique device in the MP3 players history and more specifically in the history of the Korean brand Samsung which probably wanted to prove that it can compete with real luxury brands like B&O and their Beosound series. If the standard version doesn't seem to have sold well, probably because of the too high price, the Limited Edition studded with diamonds sold out incredibly fast despite its exorbitant price. Samsung won the challenge. The W3 is a desirable jewel for any collector. And indeed it should really be considered as an original and exclusive collector's item. Because if you simply consider it as a mp3 player, you may be disappointed by its average performance and specs, which are not worth the price. But who cares? The luxury world is not necessarily rational.

Bank of Japan Mounts Bold Bid for Revival
Deflation-Taming Plan Exceeds Expectations but May Be Tough to Pull Off, Critics Say; Risks of Bubbles, 'Bad Inflation'
TOKYO—New Bank of Japan Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda quickly and dramatically put his stamp on the long-beleaguered central bank, implanting a policy grand in substance and simple in presentation—a stark contrast with his predecessor, who favored incremental steps, emphasizing the complexity and the risks.
Using placards with bright red print to explain the complex package of new policies, Mr. Kuroda boiled it all down to the number two: 2% inflation in two years by doubling the bank's purchase of bonds and doubling the monetary base....

The increased chances of Apple returning some of its $137.1 billion in cash to shareholders makes the stock attractive, Stuart Frankel's Steve Grasso said Friday on CNBC.
"It's been on everyone's mind about where this cash is going to be allocated to," he said, adding that investors were unlikely to sell the stock before Apple's annual investor meeting on Feb. 27.
On "Fast Money," Grasso noted that Apple's stock price "jumped" from the $435 per share level in the last week of January.
"People want to know where it's going. People are excited about it. And you're not going to sell the stock ahead of that meeting. You're not going to sell the stock until you find out: Buyback, dividend, what the story is," he said.
Apple stock traded around $475 per share midday.
The company's cash balance was thrust into the spotlight after Greenlight Capital founder David Einhorn said this week on CNBC that Apple has a "cash problem" and sought to force the tech giant's hand in returning some of it to shareholders, whether in the form of preferred stock or an increased dividend.

"Goldman said it: There's a bunch of different opportunities," Grasso added. "They don't want to do the preferred, there are still a lot of other tools in their arsenal."
Grasso said that he disagreed with the note put out by Goldman Sachs.
"I think that people are a little frustrated with roll-outs of iPhones, where you feel, 'I just bought one. What's the incentive for me to buy this new one?' So I don't necessarily agree with Goldman's note that a quicker product cycle will help. More products will help, but we've seen that already," he said.
"I think all the hoopla is, right now, dividends, buybacks, end of story. Technical bounce in the story, I'm still long it."

Motor Fuel Tax
Amounts Distributed to Cities and to All Local Governments,
by County, Calendar Year 1999
All motor fuel taxes are collected by the state and
distributed among state and local governmental units by
statutory formula. These amounts are required by the Ohio
Constitution to be used for highway purposes.
In calendar year 1999, distributions to local governments
from the motor fuel tax amounted to $329.1 million. Of this
amount, $140.9 million went to municipalities (cities
received $121.3 million and villages received $19.6 million),
$65.8 million to townships, and $122.4 million to county
governments. An additional $62.8 million was transferred to
the Local Transportation Improvement Program Fund. That
amount is for allocation on a per capita basis to district
public works integrating committees to fund grants to local
subdivisions for projects approved by the district committees
and the Ohio Public Works Commission. Including the Local
Transportation Improvement Program Fund amount, local
governments received approximately 28.3% of total motor fuel
tax receipts (25.0% excluding the Local Transportation
Improvement Program Fund); the remainder is used for
statewide highway purposes.
The statutory distribution formula for the motor fuel tax is
as follows:
2 cents per gallon levy from the Gasoline Excise Tax
to municipal corporations in proportion to their
vehicle registrations
divided equally among counties
to the state highway operating fund
divided equally among townships
15 cents per gallon levy from the State and Local
Government Highway Distribution Fund:
The other 3 cents-per-gallon tax is used for state
highway purposes.
These figures have been compiled from records of the Ohio
Department of Taxation.

Captain Misbah-ul Haq said that Pakistan's future was secure with the emergence of promising young players despite losing the Test and one-day series on their tour of Sri Lanka.
Pakistan lost the five-match one-day series 3-1 and three-Tests 1-0 on the tour which ended on Thursday. They levelled a two-match Twenty20 series 1-1.
The Test defeat ended Pakistan's unbeaten run of seven series since losing to England on the 2010 tour which was marred by spot-fixing allegations in the Lord's Test.
That unbeaten streak also included a 3-0 whitewash of world number one Test team England earlier this year.
Misbah, who captained Pakistan since their defeat against England in 2010, deplored the defeats on the Sri Lanka tour.
"Defeats in the one-days and Tests are disappointing," Misbah told reporters on the team's return home. "We could have won the one-day series but our fielding let us down in the last two matches."
Pakistan hired former Australian batsman Dav Whatmore as head coach and Englishman Julien Fountain as fielding coach earlier this year, but their fielding has still been a grey area.
"The Test defeat was also unfortunate. But the performance of young players like Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq and Junaid Khan has assured Pakistan a good future," said Misbah.
"Our junior players did very well in the Tests. Ali, Shafiq and Junaid have done well in the series and with their performance we can say that our future is secure," said Misbah.
"In difficult situations these players performed well for us. The way Adnan Akmal played (in Pallekele Test) with a fractured finger is a good sign. Junaid is a big plus."
Ali scored two hundreds in the Tests, while Shafiq hit a match-saving century in the final Test at Pallekele which ended in a draw.
Sri Lanka won the first Test in Galle by 209 runs while the rain-hit second Test in Colombo also ended without a result.
Left-arm paceman Junaid took 14 wickets in the three Tests, including five-wickets hauls in the second and third Tests.
Twenty20 captain Mohammad Hafeez said team's loss in the first T20 match was due to inexperience.
"We had a number of new players in the Twenty20 so the first match was lost because of inexperience but we came back well to win the second game," said Hafeez.
Misbah sees bright future despite defeat
Captain Misbah-ul Haq said that Pakistan's future was secure with the emergence of promising young players despite losing the Test and one-day series on their tour of Sri Lanka.
