Economic Development Newsroom
Louisville Named in Top 10 'Hot Headquarters' Areas
Wednesday July 20, 2005
The temperature is not the only thing that is hot in Louisville. Mayor Jerry Abramson today announced that Louisville was ranked ninth among the nation's "Hot Headquarters Metros for the 21st Century."
In its upcoming issue, the national economic-development magazine Business Facilities ranks the top U.S. metropolitan areas for their ability to attract corporate headquarters. The issue is to be released later this week. "It is rewarding to see Louisville again nationally recognized for the progress we're making economic development," Abramson said.
He cited another recent ranking by BestPlaces that named Louisville the fifth-best city for relocating families. "These rankings are more than simple recognitions on paper. They are proof that Louisville is on the right track in creating a positive environment for business and in fostering an enjoyable and liveable hometown for families," Abramson said.
For the headquarters ranking, Business Facilities considered metro areas' number of existing headquarters and growth in number of headquarters from 1990 to 2000, and weighted each based on the community's population. The magazine measured headquarters of publicly traded companies with 2,500 or more employees worldwide. Companies such as Atria, Brown-Forman, Humana, Kindred, LG&E, Papa John's and YUM! Brands helped comprise Louisville's top ten ranking.
"Louisville's ranking shows the impressive growth it has experienced in its attraction of corporate headquarters over the last ten years, relative to its size," said Karim Khan, Business Facilities editor-in-chief. Louisville ranked ahead of other cities of comparable size in the Midwest region, such as Columbus, Ohio and St. Louis, as well as larger metropolitan areas such as Denver, Miami and Dallas.
"We're very pleased to see Louisville receive this recognition," said Steve Higdon, president and CEO of Greater Louisiville Inc.-The Metro Chamber of Commerce. "The ranking validates our economic development efforts and the strategic approach we are taking to make Louisville an economic hotspot. This kind of positive attention will raise visibility of our region and help our attraction and expansion efforts."
Business Facilities is a national economic-development and site-selection magazine, providing monthly news information for more than 40,000 corporate executives responsible for the expansion or relocation of their companies.

Day 13: What is your favorite/scariest Moffatism?
By "Moffatism", I'm assuming you mean something that he invented/thought up/wrote. And my favorite is the gas mask children from The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances. Could you also count Captain Jack as a Moffatism, since he wrote the character?
Children scare me, honestly, so a child wandering around in a gas mask saying "Are you my mummy?" is a little freaky for me. I loved the story, the monsters, Captain Jack Harkness, and the fact that just this once, everybody lives.
While we're on the topic, Moffatt, do you think you might want to bring back that character you wrote in Series One? I'm completely behind that plan.
This too is my scariest moffatism.
Could we please stop perpetuating the fiction that Captain Jack was created by Steven Moffat? This was reblogged without...

United States Attorney Booth Goodwin announced July 17 former Charleston-based J.P. Morgan Chase Bank executive Mark Alan McCoy, 46, of Charleston, was sentenced to three years in federal prison for embezzlement.
McCoy was Charleston branch vice president of private client banking services from September 2008 until June 2012, and he embezzled more than $500,000 from the bank, including purchases of a Cadillac Escalade and a 1968 Chevy Camaro, according to Goodwin's news release.
"Bankers are given a special position of trust," Goodwin said in a news release. "It's a crime not only against the bank, but against the customers who counted on this defendant to keep their money safe and sound."
McCoy stole money from about nine separate personal and corporate clients' accounts, creating cashier's checks for himself or using proceeds from original cashier's checks to make additional unauthorized checks, according to Goodwin.
McCoy admitted to taking approximately $532,395.59 from Chase Bank, and the actual loss Chase Bank, after accounting for funds it was able to recover, was $447,784.45.
The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Secret Service.

FLORENCE — Mars Hill and Lauderdale County's girls basketball players can exhale a little.
Both sides picked up high-stakes wins in impressive fashion and extended their seasons for at least two more games beyond Thursday's Class 3A, Area 16 tournament elimination games.
No. 2 Mars Hill used some solid interior defense, got Clements standout DaNeshia Malone in foul trouble and used a second-half run to put away a 57-33 win against the Colts.
Later, No. 1 Lauderdale County used a hot-shooting start to mount a 21-point first-quarter lead while cruising to a 69-40 win against No. 6 Deshler.
The losses ended Clements' and Deshler's seasons, while Lauderdale County and Mars Hill will meet for the fifth time this season Monday night in the area tournament final.
The winner earns home-court advantage in the playoffs' sub-regional round, in which both teams have already secured berths.
Mars Hill gets physical
Malone was whistled for two fouls in the first 4 minutes of the game and picked up her third with 5 seconds left in the first half, as the Panthers took a 29-22 lead into halftime.
Malone picked up her fourth on a charging call with 2:12 left in the third quarter and took a seat on the bench for the remainder of the period.
Mars Hill had built a 37-27 lead by that point, and with Malone out, the Panthers ratcheted up their pressure defense, forcing turnovers for easy baskets.
They led 45-30 by the time Malone checked back in to start the fourth quarter and outscored the Colts 12-3 the rest of the way.
"We all know Malone is one of the best post players in the state, getting her in foul trouble nothing but helped us out," Rutledge said. "We've been working on taking it to her and forcing some of those fouls with driving and penetrating.
"When we saw she was taken out, we switched to a different kind of press. That press wasn't very successful when she was in the game, but when she was out, we were able to create some turnovers and get the momentum our way."
Malone finished with 11 points on 4-of-10 shooting and 11 rebounds, while matching up with Mars Hill interior players Mary Brooke Willis and Addie Harrison.
Willis had a game-high 16 points and eight rebounds. Anne Marie Mitchell added 13 points, Anna Katherine Green had 10 and Tatyana Rutherford totaled eight rebounds for Mars Hill.
"I came into this game not even caring if I scored a point," Willis said. "I just wanted to stop (Malone). We had a goal to keep her under 14 and we got it. Getting her on the bench won the game for us.
"I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders with this game. It will be back Monday, but this felt great."
Strong start power LCHS
Lauderdale County scored the game's first 12 points and Emma Wallen made three of her first five 3-pointers, as the Tigers jumped out to a 26-5 first-quarter lead.
Wallen finished with a game-high 17 points on 5-of-9 shooting. Chatara Cox had 15 points on 5-of-5 shooting to go with 13 rebounds for Lauderdale County, and Haley Avery added 14 points.
"Everybody says when I'm hitting (3-pointers), I can't really stop," Wallen said. "Me and Haley, when we were on, we just said give us the ball. It could have been our last game and we didn't want to have any regrets. We left it all on the floor."
Lauderdale County led 46-21 at halftime, went ahead 53-23 on Avery's jumper with 6:12 left in the third quarter and led by as 32 late in the third quarter.
Layken Coman scored a team-high 12 points to go with seven rebounds for Deshler, which will miss the sub-regional round for the second seasons after reaching the state final four the previous 11.
Meanwhile, defending 3A champion Lauderdale County is still alive to defend its crown.
"It was important to get off to a good start," Lauderdale County coach Brant Llewellyn said. "It was such an important game and a tough matchup. We've had times where we've started games tight. But I told the girls at half time that when we play like that, it gives me chill bumps.
"You can't help but exhale after this one. In my opinion, two top-10 teams went home after this. Now, you know now matter what happens Monday you get to play another day."

Washington, D.C. Travel Guide
Plan Your Washington, D.C. Vacation
The city that invented American politicking, back scratching, and delicate diplomatic maneuvering is itself the result of a compromise. Tired of its nomadic existence after having set up shop in eight locations, Congress voted in 1785 to establish a permanent federal city. Northern lawmakers wanted the capital on the Delaware River, in the North; Southerners wanted it on the Potomac, in the South. A deal was struck when Virginia's Thomas Jefferson agreed to support the proposal that the federal government assume the war debts of the colonies if New York's Alexander Hamilton and other northern legislators would agree to locate the capital on the banks of the Potomac.

Editing OpenStreetMap with Potlatch 2
Fast Mapping
If you need a tool to make minor modifications in OpenStreetMap, Potlatch 2 is a useful choice as a fast and easy-to-use editor.
Potlatch 2 (or "P2" for short) is a small editor for OpenStreetMap. When you view an area on OpenStreetMap and notice that certain paths or points of interest (POIs) are missing, you don't necessarily have to launch a major league editor like Merkaator or JOSM. Instead, you can make changes directly in the map via the Edit function (Figure 1).
What you do need to change the maps is an account with OpenStreet-Map. This is quickly done and doesn't require more than an email address. After you launch the editor, it comes up with a brief introduction (Figure 2).

In the aftermath of the terror attack at the Boston Marathon on Monday, a relatively small running race in New York City this weekend will have stricter security rules, the New York Road Runners announced Friday.
NYRR is urging runners and spectators for the City Parks Foundation Run for the Parks, a 4-mile race on Sunday at 8 a.m., to not bring bags to the park. Runners who do bring bags to bag check will be asked to transfer their belongings to clear bags, which will be provided.
Race-day registration, T-shirt pickup, and baggage drop-off will be in Rumsey Playfield, which will be cordoned off in a security zone. Anyone entering the zone will have to go through a screening.
"NYRR and the NYPD reserve the right to search any bag at any time, both within and outside the baggage area," according to the NYRR website.
Also, crews will remove trash cans in vicinity of the race course, NYRR said.
Every year, NYRR puts on dozens of running races including the New York City Marathon.

If you're new to Montessori, you probably have questions galore.
Why are children grouped in multi-age classes? Why are they allowed to walk around the classroom so much? How can students keep up if they're not all learning the same thing at the same time?
Yes, Montessori schools may be different from schools with which you are already familiar. The uninterrupted work time, the emphasis on learning through experience and exploration—these are among the unique hallmarks of a Montessori education, an approach that inspires children to become self-motivated, lifelong learners.
The AMS Web site offers a primer to the world of Montessori education. For further information, we're pleased to suggest these additional sources.

WILMINGTON — Tuukka Rask is one of two goalies in the NHL to log every second of playing time for his club. San Jose's Antti Niemi is the other.
For the Bruins, Rask's workload has been a good thing. It reflects that Rask (5-2-0, 1.29 goals-against average, .954 save percentage, one shutout) is the NHL's sharpest puckstopper. Rask's made every save the Bruins have asked of him, and even some of the unexpected variety. None of the nine goals scored on Rask has been questionable.

For the benefit of new readers, the dealer fee is the dirty little secret of most Florida car dealers. It's an extra charge ranging from about $400 to more than $1,500 and averaging about $800 that dealers surprise you with after you've been quoted a lower price.
If you want to learn more about this rip off to the car-buyer, just Google "dealer fee" and "Earl Stewart."
Battling the dealer fee for years, I've often wondered why so many car dealers, sales managers and sales people could go along with this unfair and deceptive sales practice. I truly believe that most people (including lawyers, politicians and car dealers) are inherently good, honest people. I have to ask myself why an honest person would quote a price that he knows is a lot lower than the real one to a customer.
I was watching CNBC and there was a discussion about the Milgram experiment. This psychological experiment was conducted at Yale University by Professor Stanley Milgram. What motivated him to perform the experiment was to discover why millions of good Germans followed the orders of evil Nazis, such as Adolph Eichman, while conducting the Holocaust during World War II.
The experiment involved volunteers called "teachers" who questioned other people called "learners." The teacher asked the learner to correctly match certain pairs of words. The teacher and learner could not see each other, separated by a partition. The experimenter instructed the teacher to push a button sending an electrical shock through the leaner for each incorrect answer. The initial voltage was very low and not enough to cause any discomfort.
However, the experimenter told the teacher to increase the voltage with each successive wrong answer.
The learner and the experimenter were in on the ruse, which was that no electricity was actually flowing. The machine was connected to an audio device which emitted recorded shouts of pain when the fake voltage reached higher levels, all the way to 450 volts.
The amazing results were that 65 percent of the "teachers" went all the way to 450 volts, hearing screams of pain. They did this even though they believed their actions were causing intense pain and may also cause permanent bodily damage.
Psychologists ascertained there were two reasons for this. The first is called the Agentic state theory. This is the "I was just following orders" reason as repeated often in the Nuremburg Trials. The essence of obedience consists in the fact that a person comes to view himself as the instrument for carrying out another person's wishes, and he therefore no longer sees himself as responsible for his actions.
The second reason psychologists believe accounted for this behavior is the theory of conformism. A person who has neither ability nor expertise to make decisions, especially in a crisis, will leave decision making to the group and its hierarchy.
So there you have it. Car sales people follow the orders of their sales managers, who follow the orders of their general manager who follows the orders of the owner of the dealership.
But why do the owners, the dealers, trick customers with the dealer fee? They aren't following anybody's orders. The car dealers fall under the theory of conformism. They feel that as long as everybody else is doing it, it must be OK for me to follow suit.
A great local example of this started about two years ago when Fort Pierce Nissan began charging a $799 dealer fee plus a $750 freight fee, totaling $1,549.
Napleton Nissan in Riviera Beach picked up on this and matched Fort Pierce by adding $750 freight to their current $795 dealer fee.
Next, Royal Palm Nissan in Wellington followed suit. Then most Nissan dealers from Fort Pierce to Riviera Beach add more than $1,500 to the price you are quoted on a Nissan.
Recently, I haven't seen advertisements adding the double charge for freight to the dealer fee and I suspect the Attorney General's office may have had something to do with this.
Now you can understand why that smiling salesman can so guiltlessly throw the lever causing 450 volts of electricity to course through your body which is about the way most car buyers feel when they realized that they've been deceived. The salesman was "just following orders."

Blaine border officials find men in rail cars
In two seperate incidents last month, Customs and Border Protection officers (CBP) scanning southbound rail cars with gamma rays discovered Honduran stowaways illegally entering the United States.
On April 27 CBP officers at the rail inspection station south of Blaine were using gamma-ray imaging scanners to get a high-resolution image of the contents of the rail cars. What they found was an anomaly inside a grain car that appeared to be a stowaway and radioed the train to stop. Border Patrol agents checked the car and found 37-year-old Elmer Centeno-Castro.
Castro was booked into Whatcom County jail pending extradition to San Francisco where he is wanted on a felony dangerous drugs warrant. CBP press officer Mike Milne said Centeno-Castro has an "extensive criminal history" and has been previously deported from the United States.
Four days later, on May 1, the gamma-ray scanners picked up another image that turned out to be Rigoberto Valle Acosta, a 24-year-old Honduran, hiding in the porthole for loading a railcar full of potassium. Acosta was handed over to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The back-to-back arrests do not appear to be connected, Milne said.
Milne said with the two recent arrests there have been a total of four interceptions of rail stowaways using the gamma-imaging technology since it was put in place south of Blaine in 2005.

The path to the Design Museum started when we invited African artists from the Creative African Network (CAN) – our platform connecting and promoting artists from and in Africa to design the graphic which would appear on the new shirts of their national team. All of the artists took inspiration from their own country, culture and traditions and created something truly unique. Something much more than just a graphic.
The result is that for the first time in football, the Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Algeria, Namibia, Senegal, Togo, Gabon, Burkina Faso and South Africa kits have been designed by a local artist. The new kits fuse the worlds of sport, art and culture by identifying their shared values and communities.
The technical kits have been designed to maximise the player's on-pitch performance and the jersey fits the body closely to avoid grabbing from the opponent, it also emphasises the physique of the players, allowing them to exhibit their physical presence on the pitch.
Watch out for us in 2012, where the Africa and PUMA story will continue through a common love of the beautiful, artistic and playful game.
You can let us know your thoughts on the new African football kits on Facebook, Tweeting us or by using the #PUMAFootball hashtag on Twitter.

The Southeast Portland Food Project
Food Donation Pick Up
Saturday, February 9, 2013
The Southeast Portland Food Project (TSPFP) collects donated food the second Saturday of every even month (February, April, June, August, October, December). There is a donation pick up next month. Let's collect and transport this food by bike.
TransportLand are not the organizers, but we will be there. For more information, contact The Southeast Portland Food Project.
* * *
A little background on our promotion of this volunteer event:
In our work with The Oregon Food Bank (OFB), the idea of volunteers on cargo bikes has come up many times as a solution to (a) a volunteer need within the OFB system, (b) a desire to move beyond reliance on automobiles for transport, and (c) a need for new volunteers, especially younger adults.
Our plan with The Oregon Food Bank is still in creation. Dean Albany, the OFB man behind our partnership, connected us with The Southeast Portland Food Project as a way to actualize volunteer cargo bike delivery of donated food. TSPFP strives to build a stronger community while providing necessary food to hungry neighbors. Awesome.
One of the goals of TransportLand is to be a conduit for eager volunteers with cargo carrying bikes, and organizations with cargo carrying needs. Join us and create another line of connection in the Portland community web.
Bring your bike, and bring a friend.

Molecule of the Week
October 13, 2008
Carbofuran is a carbamate pesticide that acts as a cholinesterase inhibitor. A Dutch patent first described it for this use in 1964. Europe has banned carbofuran's use because it is extremely toxic to humans and wildlife. In July, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced that it intends to seek a ban on all uses of carbofuran in the United States.

Gestational trophoblastic disease
Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) refers to a group of abnormalities in which tumors grow inside a woman's uterus (womb). The abnormal cells start in the tissue that would normally become the placenta, the organ that develops during pregnancy to feed the fetus.
A baby may or may not develop during these types of pregnancies.
There are several types of GTD. See the specific articles for more information:
- Choriocarcinoma (a type of cancer)
- Hydatiform mole (also called a molar pregnancy)

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I just retired from the Holmsley team after nearly 39 years in education. I have taught in other schools in Tucson and in New York. The Holmsley staff, especially the fourth grade team, has been by far the best I have worked with. The Parent Teacher Organization is the most supportive I have ever had the privilege to work with.
The attention and the great communications with the children & parents!
Holmsley has been an amazing school, the teacher and staff support are exceptional. Communications between teachers and parent is great.The principal truly cares about the students, teachers, staff, and parents. Parent participation is awesome. Extra curriculum activities are team focused. Thank You Mr. Rowley and Mrs. Hicks you made my son's year phenomenal. Goal setting and self encouragement skills have shined through my son. Every school you have life skills as a course. I as a parent appreciate the work you have done with my son on an educational level and personal development level, thank you again the test scores say it all!
Holmsley has been a great school, one of the more diverse ones in the Copperfield area. The front desk staff are always friendly and helpful. Teachers provide communication via written notes and email. The Prinicipal truly cares about the students and faculty. The library, cafeteria, physical eduation, art and music personnel are great too. Active parent participation will ensure that Holmsley will continue to be a great school.
At first I was not to happy nor my kids. While they got to know their teachers they were very happy. I had great teachers for my kids and they were Awesome! I love the staff they are great and they always would greet you when you walk into the office. All I can say is keep up the great work!
The front office staff is always welcoming. The teachers are attentive and supportive. Both my children have had wonderful educational experiences at Holmsley. We look forward to another fantastic year!
Staff is not flexible for individual needs. Open concept floorplan is loud. District is large and crowded.

With perfect weather, Jase and his family joined us at the Dandenong Wetlands for a small launch. Jase had been working with his daughter Zoe on a school project and had built a fantastic looking rocket. This was the first opportunity to launch it on an Estes D12-3 motor.
(Zoe's Rocket on a D12-3)
I also launched "Twisted" - the Finless Rocket!!
So, how did it fly? Check out the video after the jump. You can also check out the full set of photos of the day here on Flickr.
Some time ago I had an idea for a spin-stabilised rocket. Instead of using fins, I thought if I could get a rocket to spin fast enough, it would travel straight much like a bullet does. The idea bumped around inside my head until the other day - so I started building!
First thing was to construct a motor mount. This comprised of a cluster of three 13mm motors. I also created an internal launch lug.
Continued after the jump!
Saturday June 8 was the first of a two day launch for Rocketry Victoria and the weather couldn't have been better!
I launched two rockets - My 10" Art Applewhite saucer on 3 D motors and my upscale Blue Bird Zero on a H128 - both great flights :)
More photos and videos after the jump or check out the full set of photos here on Flickr
Despite the weather, Rocketfest XVIII went ahead on May 26th at Eric's property in Officer. Upon arrival, the rain was bucketing down but stopped shortly after and held off for the remainder of the day.
Only a few flyers and a handful of spectators, a fairly typical turn-out but lots of fun regardless. The theme of the day was "Go Small" and there were quite a few entries :)
Lots of fun was had with these little rockets. My spool rocket was the smallest by 2mm. Karl's rocket (2nd from the right) was the highest and Darren's pointy one with the long fins in the middle was probably the most entertaining.
More photos and videos after the jump...
With the announcement of Rocketfest XVIII, a theme was chosen - "Go Small". The guidelines for the competition was to build the smallest stable flying rocket that used an un-modified Estes motor.
Since the 13mm A3-4 and A10-3 motors are the smallest Estes motors currently in production, this is what I went with. My idea was to create a spool rocket.
I decided to create two - one using a single motor and the other, a cluster of thee motors.
How did they fly? Check out the videos after the jump!
I like small rockets, so building the Fliskits Tumble Weed looked like a lot of fun!
The build is fairly straight-forward with only a handful of parts needed.
Continued after the jump...
May 5th marked the first launch for the year. It was a nice warm day with little wind - you couldn't have asked for better conditions.
The big launch of the day was Karl's 1/4 scale V2. Karl's working towards building a full 1:1 scale model. The flight was fantastic. Recovery was hampered only by the parachute catching on the guy-wires used to help keep the fins straight.
More photos after the jump
Towards the end of 2012, I signed up for the Secret Santa on the Rocketry Forum. During the course of the event, names were swapped and everyone posted off a gift to someone else. My secret santa arranged for one of Art Applewhite's 10" Clustered flying saucers to be delivered under my tree!
A little while ago I started work on the saucer. The kit comprised of a sheet of foam-core board, some bright green paper and a good selection of tubes. The build was straight-forward and the bulk of the build was completed in a couple of evenings. I didn't document the build.
Here's the final result -
Back in November Bill from 3D Rocketry announced his new kit, the Nautilus III I thought it looked like a super rocket so I contacted Bill and he was happy to post one off to Australia and it arrived within a couple of weeks.
First impressions is that this is a good solid kit. The 54mm body tube is solid and has a very tough nose cone. The centering rings are 4mm ply and the fins are 3mm ply. The instructions are straight forward and even describes how to do internal fillets - something that you'll want to do as externally, there's some strips of basswood that go between the body tube and the fins.
I used an Estes 29mm motor retainer (for the price, these are great value). I swapped out the supplied launch lug for rail buttons and attached the shock cord to the forward centering ring with a screw-eye.
The kit as it comes is designed to fly on a range of F's but with the quality of the parts supplied, there should be no reason why it won't perform just as well on G's (I'm looking forward to seeing it go up on a G64!!)
As for finishing the Nautilus III, I thought what a rocket would look like if Capt. Nemo had a rocket and looking at the Nautilus submarine, it seemed like it would be metal that was a bit old and rusted. I took some time, read through a bunch of tutorials and had a go at airbrushing the metal & rust effect. I'm happy with the end result :)
I had a lot of fun building this kit. View the full build thread on The Rocketry Forum and the photos on Flickr.
The Blue Bird Zero was part of the Estes catalogue from 1980 to 1985 as kit #1335
I've always thought that this was a very neat looking kit and have wanted one for a while. Recently, Semroc have released this as a Retro Repo kit. While it's nice, I wanted something bigger. The original is about 1m tall, made from BT55 tube. Here's my 2x upscale!! Made from BT80 body tube it stands just on 2m tall.

Actually I think it'll work the other way. It would offer GREATER variety in stuff to wear. There's a bunch of designs out there with similar stats, but they're all geared to a specific classes needs. By homongenizing the way the stats work it'll allow people to use a greater variety of things. I personally think they could take it even farther. Here's an example
Instead of actually getting gear as drops you get gear enhancements (Basically the gear stats) as an enscription/scroll/enchantment/armor patch, whatever. That way you can choose or craft the gear you want for the look and still upgrade the stats via drops, badge loot what have you.
