How can we cultivate courageous, non-violent dialogue between youth and power?
Today, August 12th, 2011, the United Nations' "International Year of Youth" draws to a close. It has been a very interesting year—one of the biggest in recent history for youth-instigated riots, uprisings and revolutions. Perhaps not what Ban Ki-Moon had in mind when he made the statement, "Youth should be given a chance to take an active part in the decision-making of local, national and global levels"!
However, I believe their initial intention to sponsor "Dialogue and Mutual Understanding" between the young and the elite was, and is, a very important one. In fact, I would argue that many of the riots this past year could be attributed to a very profound lack of communication between youth and power.
I believe that if we lack a healthy relationship between ourselves and the unknown, it's difficult to be courageous. The young people of today, myself included, do not have any healthy way of relating to the unknown, seemingly mindless politics of their elders. This is why so many young people lash out—it is their violent form of questioning the silent authority. Neither method is indicative of a real conversation.
So my question is this: how can we stimulate a courage that is constructive, based on communication and positive risk, and not merely on reckless deconstruction of the old paradigms (which is not truly courageous at all)? How do we reconcile the passion and novelty of youth with the sensibility and experience of older generations? How do we enable youth to challenge their leaders, and how do we solicit leaders to challenge their youth—in a mutually respectful dialectic? How do we inspire youth to follow the wise words of Buckminster Fuller: "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete"?

Alyson IrvinAug 12 2011: I think we also have to ask ourselves if "they" (the powerful) are deluded about what they are doing, or if we are.
I dont think they are. I think they know very well what they are doing, and the sense that they are deluded comes from the way they label their actions to convince us to go along with them. "Humanitarian" wars, are rarely humanitarian, they are economic. Our leaders are not unaware or deluded that they have economic goals, and that their motives are economic. We are. Because they cannot sell a war to the people by saying, "we want you to pay with your tax dollars, and your lives, to help us overturn a government that is not playing ball with the economic powers that fund us, and secure access to the resources in that region to enrich them" and so they make up stories that they know will work with us. "We are liberating x people from horrible tyranny" or "this leader is endangering you, and we must stop them now for your sake."
They arent deluded about what they are doing. They know precisely what they are doing. We are the ones who are deluded or half deluded about what they are doing. Because we accept at face value the labels they slap on their actions. Until we start looking past the labels, and until we start naming their actions ourselves, based on what is REALLY in the package they are handing us, we will be spinning our wheels.
Democracy is another label we need to look beneath if we want to solve our problems, really solve them. Do we really have that? Is it democracy when the information people need to vote wisely is kept from them deliberately under the guise of "national security" and just flat out propaganda? In a nation when only candidates who have corporate funding stand a chance of being elected? We are spreading something CALLED democracy around the world, but what is it really when we look in the box?
Kevin LilesAug 12 2011: In reference to Alyson... you make a profound and honest point concerning the actions of 'the powerful'. Sadly, and I have had discussions with many people (professors, business people, even authorities on the concept of leadership), and most 'leaders' know right from wrong but choose to make decisions based on self-gratification and short-cuts. Today's climate is one of instant gratification and saldy we are seeing the results in the media daily (from our economic situation to an increase of unethical acts). I am glad to see this dialogue. Any attention on this subject may spark a positive change.
I have come to realize in the last few years that in my past I have suffered from the "mis-attribution error". I have grown to assume that leaders and persons in positions of authority will put their personal gain aside in order to improve the organization and those persons they are resposible for. This couldn't be further from the truth. Good leaders are the exception and not the rule. Sadly, there are few examples to emulate.
Your points concerning democracy and the use of terms like "national security' and even others like "domestic terrorism" is nothing but manipulation and worse the general public falls in lock-step and believes what ever they are told. Citizens need to demand more from the government. There is no accountability, no transparency. The government of the past worked for the people- now the people work for the government. The reason- the government has gotten so big that we have to simply accept the actions of this monstrosity. It is merely too big to manage.
Aug 12 2011: It is too big to manage. And going bigger, (globalization) just serves to further alienate our leaders from the needs, the wants, and the will of the people.
I wish I had the solution to the whole problem, but I dont. But I do know for certain that if we dont start by looking clearly at what is happening, and discussing what is really happening, we have no chance of coming up with a workable solution.

What do you do when your skyscraper's million dollar facade starts to flake off and i recommend buy viagra china bonk pedestrians on the head? OOO OOO, I know what and EcoGeek would do!
Buy 10 million dollars of solar panels and cover the only for you levitra price building with them! They're just as pretty as any facade, and produce hundreds of kilowatts of power for use in the building. In concert with 24 roof-mounted wind turbines, 10% of the CIS tower in Manchester will be powered by building-bound renewable energy. While that might not seem like much, it is a very big building. Only the building's service tower (shown) will be covered with panels. The attached office building (which gets to have windows instead of solar panels) is much larger.
The Solar Sky Scraper, owned by the CIS insurance group, is the cialis on sale largest UK skyscraper outside of http://ojalafilms.com/overnight-levitra-generic London and, when the project is complete (very shortly) it will be the largest solar installation in all of the United Kingdom!
There was some question as to whether the solar panels will be much use in foggy manchester, but the panels aren't designed to be tilted perpendicular to http://supportmichaelocc.ca/buy-levitra-in-europe the suns rays at all times. The panels will operate at sub-par efficiencies, but will still produce a substantial amount of power even on the cloudiest of days.
And the tower's power output? Their website proclaims that the tower produces "enough energy to make 9,000,000 cups of tea." Oh you classy Brits. For us ecogeeks, think more of viagra oral gel "enough power to run 1000 PCs."

Interestingly, someone has already made skylights that are solar collectors. I saw them last fall at the solar conference in Silicon [ not silicone ] Valley . I don't recall the company name but i am sure i could find the literature if it was important .
If they can make skylights, i am sure they will be able to make solar windows.
Current solar collectors are in the neighborhood of 15% efficient , with lab versions at the approx 30% level.Experimental materials [ non silicon ] are at 45% efficiency .
When these materials get to the market, the cost will come down radically [ like big screen tv's which came down 80+ % in a six year time period .]
At that point, the paybacks will improve phenominally
and solar will " go thru the roof' ] - pun intended
solar panel have a 25 year life span, with very little loss of efficiency over that time period

Of course, how about how much productivity drops due to employees working in a windowless dungeon all day? This DOES affect their work. And if it is true that only some of the panels are real, that makes it even more ridiculous. They could have added windows instead of hte dummy panels.

CIS is part of the Co-operative group the Uk's largest co-op. They are not a corperation and thus do not get the incentives that large plc's do nor do they make the profits as hinted. Although it only provides 10% thats still 10% less from coal burning stations so it should be commended. As they say, if everyone does a bit, together it will make a difference. Just for information, the co-op were the first supermarket to introduce 100% biodegradable carrier bags, all of their pacakaging is recyclable and they are the uk's largest fairtrade supporter.
Its only natural that they are taking this stand, as an ethical retailer it is their duty.

Solar Power will save money and reduce carbon output, especially when compared with standard electricity.
My organisation is looking at a way of giving the best price cialis online panels away for free and www.auburg.de fitting them and just receiving a yearly payment in the form of a contract. If it wasn't financially viable we would have scrapped this idea as soon as it was initially looked at.
Another point is that in order to become more energy efficient it may not always be the cheapest option........but what is the priority, cheapness and energy efficiency are not always going to go hand in hand....after all the early adopters pay for new technology in every single product.

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
These History Inspirational poems are examples of Inspirational poems about History. These are the best examples of History Inspirational poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
Tradition and dress
A nations finesse
Symbolic in style
By a country mile
The drone of the pipes
Tartan clad
Bonnie on the girls
Proud on the lads
Highland dancers
In kilted skirts
Grooms at weddings
Kilt and dirk
But our Tartan and Pipes
Go back many years
Led soldiers into battles
See the enemy fear
After Culloden
Both were banned
A country naked
At the English hand
Our clans of many
In colours so grand
Woven by weavers
Our women's hands
All over the world
Scots are spread
Taking their Tartans
Of green, blue and red
It's a welcome reminder
To the kin of their past
Never forgotten
Designed to last
This plaid of cloth
History enriched
Scottish pride
In every stitch
And like our pipes
From centuries past
This Scottish of Scots
Are here to last
Our dark founding father, of American literature,
A sinister beacon of darkness, lighting the way
Into the darkened abyss of mankind's soul.
Within the galleria of madness, he is the
Grandmaster of the black ink, and it's
Written words of terror.
In thus the shadow realm, does his spirit
Still roam, on the cutting edge of fear,
A fine thin line, is drawn between reality,
And fictions illusionary world.
Life's a shunned, abandonment's creation,
The lord's misbegotten son, embraced
The night's cloak, in it's power
His only salvation unto history's
Remembrance, is found a truth's
Justice and notability's respect.
Loves passionate compliant servant,
Dashed against the rocks of life itself,
Broken and damaged, he rose above
The waves of poverty, and the under
Current of tragedies broken
Some may say he wrote from the after
Effects that laid, at the bottom
Of the bottle.
Or afterfeeds drug endued comma, dulling
The emotional nerves concept between
Right and wrong, the social exceptionable
But we care not what others wish to believe,
For we honor him, those of us the dark poets,
As the father whom lead the way, between
Light and dark.
Dearest Edger Allen Poe, the legend, the man,
A spiritual dark representative, with pens quailed
Ink at his command.
Somewhere in midnight's nocturnal hallways
As the chill settles down with starlight
While the world stands silent in waiting
There abiding with his flock walks the shepherd
Hopeful in thought and yet weary of foot
He moves his charges through the bite of night
His hope in the coming dawn lifts his burdens
Filling his minds eye with warm musings of tomorrow
In tones they beseech the day and challenge darkness
But through this constant cycle of shine and shadow
The guardian of the flock stands steadfast and waits
The promise begins as His voice appears cherubically
Falling in fear and praying for strength of faith
The radiance in the sky softens ever slightly
Speaking of the vow and announcing the messiah
Who brings the world a love and a hope yet tasted
Tremulous breath's as the promise is spoken
Awing the greatness with a loving and respectful fear
Silent in belief beholding the coming miracle
He stirs the somnolent flock down the slopes
To bestow upon all the gift of this divine hour
His breath brittle's the final icy moments of dusk
He labors the trail with renewed strength of heart
Proclaiming hushed gratitude within every step
A beacon of brilliance converges in the heavens
Beckoning his faithful west toward little Bethlehem
Dropping to his knees his face wetted in thanks
Finally understanding what is gripping his soul
He sees the precarious pathway laid before him
Though he has journeyed into the unknown before
None had brought with it a promise so precious
Many times the ocean
has saved Nippon, pearl of the sea,
an oceanic symbiosis a speck in a fecund see.
The dikes of man such miniscule plans to hold back the tide.
The throngs, each and all crawl across the thin skin of volcanic soil
or rise with in the hump-backed alps of remnant cones.
Yet, the sea rises to reclaim its own
scour the pallet of man, refine, burnish melt, reform.
With pen and sword kanji drawn, samurai born
with knife and bone entrails torn, honor tested
tested by the hand of He,
tested and found worthy.
The children of the Divine Wind
rise above the tsunami, as one, unbowed.
I sat down to study the Netherlands tried to gather all the scoop
Entering every contest cause I'm new to Poetry Soup
I read all the poetry masters to grow I must surely invest
What I've discovered in almost no time is why Soup poets are the best
Zerbst wrote an anthem with some amazing poetic twist
Made me wish I was from Freisland this sprawling sealand really exist
Dr. Ram wrote a history thesis he even quotes the great Shakespeare
The Netherlands in an Italian sonnet another masterpiece was here
Cornish obviously did his homework in couplet form he holds command
Displays the heart and pride of the people when I read his words I want to stand
Andrea's the Soup contest master so you knew she'd draw her pen
With perfection her ode to Freisland, Ms. Dietrich has done it once again
I could go on with the works on Netherlands a shout out to John, Ralph, and Tim
A descriptive write by Huberta van Akkeren, these odes will make sweet Elly grin
So I learned all about the Netherlands another ode wasn't needed from me
To be proud of this majestic country... May she ever be beautiful and free!

Contest Name: Your ode to 'my' Netherlands and/or 'my' Friesland
*Happy Birthday Elle!
A shaman prays, the Spirit hears
While a Seventh Calvary regiment waits
Unarmed, a tribe endures a Union's hate
Their animosities, and their fears
As the blue coats begin to circle...
Their wrath begins to circle.
That shaman saw but a single Spirit
That was split between different beliefs
He could accept the white Spirit Chief
But the white men would not hear it
They would not blend their God
With the red heathen God.
Anger explodes behind powdered shot
Spraying death from muzzled shame
Cruelly winning their ill gotten fame
Painted heroes claim a tainted spot
History claims the Ghost Dance...
As death claims the last dance.
A Dakota creek runs darkly red
Forever silencing the Ghost Dance
A chanting shaman dies in his trance
One hundred fifty Sioux lay dead
Now, only blue coats remain...
Only the blue remain.
A creek ran red with Union shame
When a shaman called the Spirit Great
And that Spirit did not hesitate
He fell on Wounded Knee and came
To take His people home...
His people swiftly home.
Timothy I. Brumley
Amidst these inlets and islands
Lies a land of a patriot nation
Where clans decree their might
Together in mixed relation
From the Lowlands to the Highlands
Family names of a forgotten past
Deliver us to their present
For these surnames are here to last
Sunrises and sunsets have so greeted
Many a morn and an eve has been seen
To be born into such a nation
Through their eyes, you see just your dream
For to be born on the land of the heather
Through Glens of bracken and fern's
Birthed into one of their clans
Your first breath you have duly earned
Amidst these inlets and islands
Lies a land of a patriot nation
Where clans decree their might
Welcome to Alba, the ultimate creation
I am like
embraced by serpents many
always trying something new
and dramatic with my
I am like
Eva Patrón
growing up with a painful family
getting lost in movies
thinking of my own
hypnotizing when I speak
First lady of Argentina
meeting you, after death
would be a treat
a nervous habit, of nibbling
on my jewelry
the similarities, between us
gave me a sense of foolery
I am like
Wilma Mankiller
Chief of the Cherokee Tribe
for ten years
fighting against Native stereotypes
despite such distress
enemies did stress
promoting to 'be of good mind'
you were a leader, of your time
an advocator for women
that they may grow up
and become chief
as a child, you wondered
the forests, like me
not the streets
I am like
Aung San Suu Kyi
wearing three types of
flowers in your hair
feeling at times like a
'splinter of glass, sharp, glinting
power to defend itself against hands
that try to crush'
winner of a Nobel Peace Prize,
for courage, was
a must
I am like
Catherine The Great
a love to laugh,
coffee, and feeling compelled
to always fill abandoned blank
sheets of paper
you were a Royal Russian Empress,with
not one red drop of Russian blood
and her people, were blessed
to have her
I am like
the Queen of England
longest royal lifetime in history
strong built, from a miserable childhood
toughened her
this is no mystery
preferring candle light
to electricity
handwriting over typewriter
and poetry
I am like
Indira Gandhi
dreaming to live as she did
riding elephants and having
tiger cubs as companions
your own Sikh security
killed you, the story
a sad one
secret dreams of being a writer
angered, by the imbalance of
between men and women
listening to beat poets
like Ginsberg
as a great Prime Minister of India
you were heard
and understood
I am like
Rigoberta Menchú
drew the worlds attention to
native Indians rights,
because of you
your goal, to be
a drop of water on a rock
dripping in the same spot,
eventually in the world, you
may leave a mark
wearing many colors
'because it gives you life'
insisting men and women be equals
you fought this fight
to relax, as I do
writing poetry into
the night
I am like
Joan of Arc
French Military Heroine
burned at the stake at just
age nineteen
known for keeping your cool
even on the battlefield
being a courageous and inspirational
rare jewel
Legendary Lady Leaders
I salute you
< Cascading lakes and streams
The loon stands out it seems
Minnesota's state bird
I know it must sound absurd
Adopted in nineteen sixty one
Wails and yodels heard under the sun
Black and white bearing red eyes
Wingspans five feet can make one cry
Body lengths up to three feet
Yet clumsy on lands and moss peat
They are high speed flyers
And great underwater divers
They can dive up to ninety feet
In pursuit of fish they want to eat
They are even on our license plates
An critical habitat drawn on metal slates
Twelve thousand of these unique birds
God that has to be a lot of turds
But for now I'll enjoy it's captured views
Of this beautiful loon and it's most colorful hues

Don't point your finger at the thief
For losing sovereignty
It's not the fault of Hollywood
If God, we don't believe.
The pace of life accelerated
When first we wouldn't wait
To seek Divine direction at
The start of every day.
Then babies resting in the womb
Broken, limb from limb,
With suctioned brains in bio-bags
Or moved to stem-cell bins.
Children raised by villages so
They won't be in the way
Of self-absorbed, unfeeling parents
Selfishly at play.
We teach them they are primates
With no purpose to their life,
Then wonder why some children
Choose death to calm their strife.
Eight were saved from flooding rains
And four from Sodom's Gloom,
Where are the righteous found today
To escape a pending doom?
The Second book, Chronicles,
Gives warnings we must heed
To evade the coming judgment in
Chapter seven and verse fourteen.
Yes, judgment stands before this land
We call the U.S.A.
The source is not the sinner but
Those called by HIS own name.
Would be better to deny HIM,
To remain one with the world,
Than to falsely represent HIM
And defile HIS HOLY WORD!
The third of HIS Commandment Laws
Means more than blasphemy,
It's how we wear the name of Christ
When someone else can see.
God's patience thins so GRACEfully
Til Israel stands alone,
Then comes our condemnation from
"I AM", still on HIS throne.
Yet the only way to turn around
Fierce judgments sure to come,
Depends on true repentance from
The ones that wear HIS name.
To those of us, HIS Mercies claim
Let's join, repent, and pray,
That GOD will heal our wayward land
And spare HIS WRATH today!

About the authorView articles
Due to the international break and the troublesome weather, only one of Everton's three players out on loan played last week.
And it was another significant 90 minutes for midfielder John Lundstram, as he shook off a leg injury to help Doncaster to a 3-2 win at Scunthorpe on Saturday.
It was a fierce derby in League One, and in edging the five-goal thriller, Rovers extended their lead at the top to five points.
Lundstram had withdrawn from the England Under-19s squad earlier in the week - soon after agreeing to stay at the Keepmoat Stadium until the end of the season - but he proved his fitness to aid his loan side to victory against their struggling North Lincolnshire rivals.
Magaye Gueye missed out on a weekend of action, however, with Stade Brestois and the rest of Ligue 1 on hold during the latest World Cup qualifying matches.
There was to be no action for Jake Bidwell and Brentford in League One either, as Bramall Lane and hosts Sheffield United fell victim to heavy snowfall.
The Bees are currently joint-second in the table, fourth on goal difference, but have played a game less than Lundstram's table-topping Rovers.
Keep an eye out for more updates on our Blues out on loan - as well as features on Everton Under-18s' Youth Cup campaign and the Under-21s.

How Can Google and Others Monetize Mobile and Keep Revenue Levels
Gianluigi is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) stock rose 5% shortly after the company reported consolidated revenue of $14.4 billion, up approximately 36% year-over-year. However, Google's core revenue (revenue ex-Motorola) only grew to $13 billion, indicating growth of 21% year-over-year.
Paid search
Google's paid clicks business also posted solid growth increasing 24% YoY and 9% quarter-over-quarter. This led to a 20% increase in advertising revenue.
The 'cost per click' (CPC), the rate Google makes money on those clicks, fell 6%, year over year, and rose 2% from Q3′s level. This is interesting because the way how Google's paid clicks algorithm works is that the more competition, the more an advertiser has to pay (this is a very brief description, there's a lot to it). I was for five years highly involved in paid search marketing for international companies and for many businesses, the search engine channel was one of the core revenue streams. Now the increase in competition may come from the holiday season in Q4, so it might be temporary. Let's see what Q1 2013 brings.
Even in financial tough times, internet channels are cost-effective channels and businesses are turning to these instead of the more conventional/offline channels. The benefit for businesses is that Google Adwords (its paid search system) is very transparent and everything is being tracked. Therefore it can be deployed very ROI-driven. Because businesses focus on this ROI, the challenge for Google's business model is to generate real value or otherwise companies will stop advertising which can end up in a decrease in CPC.
The fact that people are spending more time on Google search and clicking on these paid ads is reflected by the 24% YoY growth.
Motorola and mobile
The year-over-year decline that Google reported in operating income was due to the Motorola division, which reported an operating loss of $353 million and was less than the $527 million loss it posted in Q3. Google's core operating income actually increased to $3.75 billion, which generated a core operating margin of 29%.
With the inclusion of the Motorola division on Google's financials, hardware has become a significant part of the firm's revenue.
Trefis estimates that Mobile search ads contribute approximately 35% to Google's value, primarily because they expect mobile advertising revenue to increase. Even though mobile search ads are expected to only generate 13% of the company's total revenue in 2013, Trefis expects the proportion to increase to 25% by 2016.
Mobile CPC are lower in comparison to desktop CPC's and this is a challenge now that more and more people use their mobile device to surf the Web. Not only Google, but also Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) has this problem. Facebook has seen a big surge in mobile activity, but not the same revenue from the mobile channel. There's an even bigger gap between mobile usage and monetization for Facebook. And Facebook is not a knowledge platform, Facebook is a social network, which has different usages. Finding information when you're on mobile, and possibly clicking on a paid ad is different than being on Facebook and checking out friends and their activities, which is a lot less conversion-minded. Facebook is dedicating a huge proportion of its resources to improving and monetizing its mobile services, including mobile-ad products. It's ultimately up to the consumer if it is appealing enough.
I think the solution is not to copy paste ads and ads system to the mobile device, but come up with a more user-centric business model. Taking the user as starting point and not the device, creates additional loyalty because it truly helps her/him.
Utility is key
As I elaborated in the article "The Mobile Monetization Conundrum: Google, Apple, Facebook Or… Who Will It Be?" I think the company that will disrupt mobile monetization is the one that can monetize utility.
Mobile is a person's PPD (Primary Personal Device) so Google can, based on its mission "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful," profile itself as an intelligence company. An idea could be to provide information based on personas such as the traveller, or the business person, or the animal lover. Another idea can be to provide B2B intelligence-as-a-service product, providing companies some sort of overview.
The company that has an advantage is LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD). In my opinion they create such a persona-experience as elaborated above. Monetizing an experience for a specific type of person, in this case a professional, enables multiple income streams.
Linkedin is expected to report earnings on February 7, 2013, based on the latest figures from the third quarter of 2012, it reported a revenue from its marketing solutions of $64 million, a YoY increase of 60 percent.
$60 million in comparison to Google's or Facebook's revenues seems small, but they have a target audience that may never leave, because it's thé business platform. They offer a membership model, companies can advertise, can post job vacancies and buy additional InMails (there private messages). There is a variety in income that makes Linkedin interesting.
Creating specific experiences based on role or persona, to me that has a very good chance in creating viable and sustainable revenue streams.
Paid search won't be obsolete, society is information hungry, when Google keeps on providing the best possible information in relation to the needs of the consumer/searcher, it will keep growing, be it the way it does now or via mobile, but only different.

Here's some exciting news for Judas Priest fans: the band has confirmed that their upcoming studio album will be released next year.
The veteran hard rockers revealed the big news in a holiday message posted on their official website, in which they also wish all their fans "a very metal New Year!" The new record will be the first since original guitarist K.K. Downing left the group in 2011 and was replaced by Richie Faulkner .
Speaking to ABC News Radio last May, frontman Rob Halford explained that the upcoming project wouldn't be a concept album like the band's previous studio effort, 2008's Nostradamus . "We feel that it's important now to really, not exactly go back to any extent, but just to make another important affirmation of who we are in metal," he noted. "You know, all the riffs, all the intensity, all the drama that come from the tradition and the heritage of Priest."
Judas Priest currently has no new tour dates scheduled, but most of the band's members are slated to take part in the special "Hell Bent for Vegas" edition of Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp. The camp will run from February 27 through March 2 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

I read with interest the article in The Northern Light about the shipyard in the Blaine harbor closing down at the end of this year. While I am very sorry to hear about that happening, I was also struck with some inaccuracies concerning the shipyard and the boat building industry here in Blaine. It is a convoluted story, with too many same-named people involved, but I hope this will straighten at least some of it out.
Andrew Berg first started the Berg Shipyard in the mouth of Dakota Creek in 1942. He had contracts with the U.S. Navy to build minesweepers and other vessels for the Navy and, finding himself with an extra keel not needed for a minesweeper, built the fishing vessel Dakota in 1944. The Dakota was built for my father Eythor Westman and Andrew's son Johnny Berg and was the prototype of the whaleback fishing boats which are now common among vessels used in the Bering Sea, among other fishing grounds.
Since it was difficult, if not impossible, to get these large, heavy, finished vessels out of Dakota Creek and across Drayton Harbor during a high tide, they had to tow the unfinished boats to Blaine Harbor for fitting of heavy gear, engines, etc. There was a dock and hoist along the south wall of the harbor land (approximately between where Boundary Fish and the current Westman Shipyard now are located) where the boat hulls were fitted with the heavy gear.
In the early 1950s, Carl, another son of Andrew Berg, leased what was then Iverson's Fish House from the Port of Bellingham, put in the ways to lift boats out of the water and outfitted it into a shipyard. This was the first shipyard in Blaine Harbor, then a part of Berg Shipyard. Boats were not built there, but it was used to finish the boats built in Dakota Creek. It was probably also used for repairs and work on other fishing vessels, but this I do not know for sure.
In 1967, Carl Berg sold the Blaine Harbor shipyard to Jack Davis, who ran it as Davis Marine until 1972. He then sold the Davis shipyard to Carl Westman, who ran it as a shipyard named Westman Industrial. (As a footnote to those who are interested, Carl Westman and my father Eythor Westman were not related in any way. They were both Icelanders working in the fishing industry, and both had businesses in the Blaine Harbor. They were friends, and their families are still friends.)
Carl Westman sold the shipyard in 1989 to Jack Dawson and Jim Prill, who renamed it Westman Marine, and are still partners in the shipyard. Bob Gudmundson bought into the shipyard in 2003 as a partner and manager of the shipyard, which he has been up to this date. As of the end of 2010, Gudmundson will be retiring and closing down the shipyard unless the Port of Bellingham can make arrangements with someone else to continue running the yard.
There are about 10 people working at the Westman Marine shipyard, and it would be good if they could continue working out of Blaine Harbor. This shipyard is big enough to haul out many large boats which most shipyards cannot handle. They have customers who come down with their large vessels from Alaska every year for haulout. They are the only ones in Blaine who can haul out sailboats. They have the ability to put in or take out engines for boats of many sizes. When it closes down, the closest yards that can handle the large boats and equipment would probably be Fairhaven or Anacortes shipyards. This shipyard will certainly be missed and will cause a financial hardship for many local residents.
As to the Berg Shipyard in Dakota Creek, they continued operation until the 1980s or so, building many wooden hulled and then steel hulled vessels. One familiar Blaine steel hulled fishing vessel built there was the Milo. The building is now gone, but the cement ways ramp is still visible on the south side of the mouth of Dakota Creek.
I want to thank those whose families were involved in the shipyards for information, including Larry Westman, Paul Berg, Bob Gudmundson and especially Marie Berg Dunn, who will be sending me a copy of an article she wrote about her father's Berg Shipyard, and which I hope to have published later in The Northern Light.

The Job Shadow program is produced through a partnership among Career Services and Cooperative Education, Enrollment, Alumni Relations, the Sawyer Business School, and the College of Arts and Sciences.
This initiative matches sophomores, who are at a crucial time in their academic and career decision-making process, with professionals in their area of interest for an externship/job shadowing experience. Please note that alumni do not need to be the official host. It is acceptable if other staff members within the alumnus' company or organization are directing the student.
This experience can last from 1-5 days during spring break and should provide an inside look at a job, firm, and/or career. Students should see first-hand how the organization runs and what and how work is done in a typical workday. They can learn about employer expectations firms, understand the organizational culture and pace, and gain a sense of how their own interests and skills fit.
Some of the activities that a Job Shadow Sponsor might have a student engage in are:
- Tour the organization
- Shadow the sponsor and/or colleagues during the workday
- Observe general office tasks, staff meetings, and interactions of one or more departments
- Observe client interactions or assist clients directly
- Assist with office tasks or projects; prepare or proofread documents
- Experience employee demonstration of industry-specific software or tools
- Review the organization's website, mission, marketing collateral, organizational charts
- Have meal with sponsor or others (typical of what staff might do if lunching together)
- Conduct informational interviews to understand the firm, industry, future trends, and career paths within this field
- Meet HR staff to understand what they look for when hiring college graduates
- Shadow a current college intern for a day
There are no costs to the sponsor for hosting a student and the sponsor can decide which day(s) during spring break they wish to have the student visit. The deadline, for student applications is December 1. The matching of students will take place in December and January, with assignments identified at least six weeks prior to spring break in March.
Any professionals interested in sponsoring one or more students should fill out the registration form.
Questions should be directed to Betsy McDowell, associate director of Career Services, at email@example.com or 617.573.8480

In Indiana, the planting season will commence as soon as Mother Nature decides to allow farmers to get into their fields, reports Bob Nielsen, Purdue University Extension corn specialist. Most likely, he says, planting season is still two or three weeks out.
"Typically, planting begins in early to mid-April, but the majority is planted late April through early May," Nielsen reports.
Weather is always the main consideration, he says, adding, however, that he pays little attention to professional weather forecasts for the state.
"They are notoriously inaccurate," he notes.
As Nielsen evaluates how Indiana farmers will divide up corn, soybean and wheat acres this season, he says he anticipates little if any change from 2012 when farmers planted 6.1 million acres of corn--up 6% from 2011. In 2012, Indiana farmers also planted 5.1 million acres of soybeans and 390,000 acres of wheat.
Despite a strong 2012 planting season, the historic drought reduced Indiana corn yields statewide by up to 39%. Meanwhile, soybean yields were down only 10%.
"That difference in crop response to severe weather ought to temper some of the enthusiasm for concentrating on continuous corn," Nielsen contends.
He adds that even though most of Indiana has received enough precipitation since harvest to recharge much of its soil moisture reserves, farmers there are nevertheless worried that the drought conditions that linger in the western Corn Belt will migrate back eastward.
He adds, "Of course, human nature being what it is, some are also worried that field work and planting may be delayed by continued wet weather this spring."

The head of the Internal Revenue Service says inappropriate screening of groups seeking tax-exempt status was broader and lasted longer than was previously disclosed.
Danny Werfel told reporters Monday that after becoming acting IRS chief last month, he discovered inappropriate and wide-ranging criteria in lists screeners use to single out groups for careful examinations. He did not specify what terms were on the lists.
Back on May 17, FOX19 revealed an example of this when we shared letters from a Cincinnati worker identified as Ms.
Richards that were sent to "Coalition for
Life" a pro-life group out Cedar Rapids, Iowa dating back to April of
That is significant because
the IRS testified in Washington on May 17 that the "targeting" of conservative
groups by the "two rogue Cincinnati agents" didn't start until 2010.
Werfel's comments suggest the IRS may have been targeting groups other than tea party and other conservative organizations for tough examinations to see if they qualify. The agency has been under fire since last month for targeting those groups.
Werfel said he has suspended use of those lists. Investigators have previously said agency officials abolished targeting of conservative groups in those lists in May 2012.

Every so often I come across quotes and comments that really strike a cord with what I believe. I wish I could come up with wise phrases on my own. However, to quote another great movie, "Someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong." Below are a few quotes and statements that I have kept track of over time.
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. - John Lennon, "Beautiful Boy"
Amat victoria curam - Latin phrase which loosely translates to "Victory loves preparation" or "Victory favors the prepared"
"I learned that everyone makes mistakes and has weaknesses and that one of the most important things that differentiates people is their approach to handling them. I learned that there is an incredible beauty to mistakes, because embedded in each mistake is a puzzle, and a gem that I could get if I solved it, i.e., a principle that I could use to reduce my mistakes in the future. I learned that each mistake was probably a reflection of something that I was (or others were) doing wrong, so if I could figure out what that was, I could learn how to be more effective. I learned that wrestling with my problems, mistakes, and weaknesses was the training that strengthened me." - Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates
"If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself." - Albert Einstein
"Your parents don't want what's best for you. They want what is good for you, which isn't always the same thing." - Charles Wheelan
Go Placidly amid the Noise and Confusion and Remember what Peace there may be in Silence.
As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant, for they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself to others you may become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your career however humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself, especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture the strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with false imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be; and, whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its shams, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those timid spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

As much as possible. Sometimes a lot, sometimes not as much as I would like.
Wrestling bears not so much, had some too close for comfort encounters in Alaska. Jumping out of planes, not really but, hiking definitely.
Um, I'm an anthropologist so I like to hang out in developing countries and explore ethnic enclaves here at home. Like a lot of folks though I spend way, way too much time at my desk staring at my screen (and daydreaming about outdoor adventures lol.)
Um, have to give it some thought. I've had more than my share.

Hi,I'm a bit fanatical about kayaking. It is fun, a great way to see nature up-close, and for me a spiritual practice of sorts
Hi, Diana! Happy New Year! I did my MA in Modern Chinese History at Columbia. My advisor was C. Martin Wilbur. My thesis was entitled "Extinguishing the Communist Wind": Origins of the Retreat from the Great Leap Forward in China". After graduation, I became a Social Studies teacher in Brooklyn. I have tried to keep up with my Chinese intermittently for the past 40 years with great difficulty because I was not able to use it on a regular basis. Look forward to meeting you at a future meetup.
Dear Diana,
Apologies for the late reply--it's been a crazy week before the holiday break, but I also enjoyed meeting you at the Vegetarian Oasis dinner gathering al fresco. I speak a bit of Mandarin and Cantonese, but yours is probably better than mine as I'm out of practice :P, but I'm always happy to chat!
Hi Diana! Welcome to the group! I hope you will be enjoying all the meetups this group has to offer, as much as we do. We're only a few days old, but we're building up steam real quick. Summer is already half way done, so I'm working on adding more events for the fall. If you have any event suggestions please let me know.
I hope to see you soon at one of our meetups. We can certainly chat in putonghua as well as in English, while enjoying some Longjing tea! ~Angela

As the federal government braces to go over the so-called fiscal cliff, many Americans said they aren't too confident that Congress and President Barack Obama can work together to reach a budget agreement.
According to Gallup, 48 percent of Americans are doubtful that a budget agreement can be made before Jan. 1, a change from three weeks ago when the majority of Americans said they were confident the government could avoid the fiscal cliff. This latest update is based on Gallup Daily tracking conducted Dec. 21 and Dec. 22. The poll shows Americans are increasingly confident in the various Democratic players involved in the negotiations, including Obama, Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
A majority of Americans, 54 percent, approve of Obama's handling of the crisis, up from 48 percent the previous week. Meanwhile, public approval of congressional Democratic leaders' performances rose 11 percentage points to 45 percent, while Reid's approval rating rose 10 percentage points to 34 percent.
There has been no significant change in ratings of Republican leaders, or those of Republican House Speaker John Boehner.
Despite the holidays, 34 percent of Americans reported they follow news of budget negotiations "very closely." However, the overall percentage following budget news very or somewhat closely remains close to 60 percent. Just a little over a third of Americans are paying little or no attention to the negotiations.
Gallup found Americans want to see leaders come to some sort of an agreement on the budget and avoid the fiscal cliff.
"Americans remain consistent in their desire to see leaders compromise on their budget-oriented principles and beliefs rather than risk failing to reach an agreement by sticking to those principles," according to Gallup. "Roughly two-thirds continue to prefer that leaders compromise, while less than one-quarter prefer that they take a more hard-line stance."

Pulmonary nocardiosis
Pulmonary nocardiosis is an infection of the lung with the bacteria, Nocardia asteroides.
Alternative Names
Nocardiosis - pulmonary
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Nocardia infection develops when you breathe in (inhale) the bacteria. The infection causes pneumonia -like symptoms. The infection can spread to any part of the body.
People at highest risk for nocardia infection are those with a weakened immune system. This includes people who have:
- Been taking steroid medicines or other medicine that weaken the immune system for a long time
- Had an organ transplant
Other people at risk include those with chronic lung problems related to smoking, emphysema, or other infections such as tuberculosis.
- Entire body
- Gastrointestinal system
- Nausea
- Liver and spleen swelling (hepatosplenomegaly)
- Unintentional weight loss
- Vomiting
- Lungs and airways
- Breathing difficulty
- Chest pain not due to heart problems
- Coughing up blood
- Cough with mucus
- Rapid breathing
- Shortness of breath
- Muscles and joints
- Nervous system
- Change in mental state
- Confusion
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Seizures
- Skin
- Skin rashes or lumps
- Skin sores (abscesses)
- Swollen lymph nodes
Signs and tests
- Bronchial alveolar lavage - fluid is sent for stain and culture
- Bronchoscopy
- Chest x-ray
- Crackles (rales) in the infected lung detected by stethoscope
- CT scan
- Decreased breath sounds in the lung
- Pleural fluid culture and stain
- Sputum stain and culture
The goal of treatment is to control the infection. Antibiotics are used, but the response to treatment may be slow and you must keep taking the medications for at least 3 months.
Surgery may be needed to remove or drain infected areas.
Expectations (prognosis)
The outcome is often good when diagnosed and treated quickly.,
The outcome is poor when the infection spreads outside the lung, treatment is delayed, or the patient has serious underlying diseases.
- Brain abscesses
- Skin infections
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of this disorder. Early diagnosis and treatment may improve the chance of a good outcome.
Be careful when using corticosteroids. Use these drugs sparingly, in the lowest effective doses and for the shortest periods of time possible.
Some patients with an impaired immune system may need to take antibiotics for long periods of time to prevent the infection from returning.

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014
- 10.15.2012
- Retail Sales
- Nominal retail sales jumped up 1.1 percent (nonannualized) in September, following an upwardly revised 1.2 percent increase in August. This is its strongest two-month performance since November 2010. On a year-over-year basis, retail sales are up 5.4 percent. While August's sales were largely due to rising gasoline prices and a jump up in auto sales, September's increase reflected broad-based strength. Gains were seen across nearly all of the 13 broad sales categories except at miscellaneous store retailers (which saw sales slip down just 0.1 percent). Sales at electronics and appliance stores jumped up 4.5 percent in September, more than reversing a 1.1 percent decrease in August, and helping to pull its year-over-year growth rate up to 3.6 percent from −2.2 percent in August. There was still a little boost from sales at gasoline stations—up 2.5 percent in September—that was likely an artifact of sustained increases in gas prices. That said, sales were strong at auto dealers (up 1.3 percent), non-store retailers (up 1.8 percent), and food and beverage stores (up 1.2 percent). "Core" retail sales—which excludes sales at gasoline stations, auto dealers and of building materials—rose 0.9 percent in September, after August's estimate was revised up from −0.1 percent to flat. As a tentative sign of momentum, the three-month annualized growth rate in core sales is up 7.5 percent, outpacing its 12-month growth rate of 4.4 percent.

New York City has done a good job in recent years to encourage cycling instead of driving in the city. Bike lanes and where can i get viagra pills paths have been created and new policies have been instituted to protect cyclists and pedestrians, but the city may be planning the biggest encouragement yet: a huge bike-sharing program.
The proposed program, created by Mayor Bloomberg and Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan, would start with 10,500 bikes availabe for rent and then quickly spread to 49,000 bikes, similar in scale to the successful Paris Vélib' program.

2008-09: 46-30-6 (5th in the West – Eliminated in Conf. QF by Blackhawks)
Pre-season TSN Power Ranking: 17
General Manager: Darryl Sutter (5th Season)
Head Coach: Brent Sutter (1st Season)
What They Did in the off-season:
It was a very busy summer in Calgary despite Darryl Sutter's insistence in May that the Flames would not make major changes in the off-season. That promise apparently had an expiry date as Mike Keenan was fired by the team as the month drew to a close. Sutter decided to keep it in the family by replacing 'Iron Mike' with sibling Brent.
The Flames were incredibly pro-active prior to the opening of the free agency period on July 1st. The team shipped soon-to-be-free-agent Jordan Leopold and a third round pick to the Panthers for the rights to Jay Bouwmeester. They then utilized their window to sign the towering blueliner by inking him to a five-year contract, giving the Flames a modern day 'Big-Three' on defence featuring Bouwmeester, Dion Phaneuf and Robyn Regehr. To make room, Jim Vandermeer was sent to Phoenix for Brandon Prust.
Veterans Mike Cammalleri, Todd Bertuzzi, Adrian Aucoin, and Andre Roy all found employment elsewhere while Fredrik Sjostrom and Brian McGrattan were added for depth. The Flames snagged Nigel Dawes off the waiver wire from the Coyotes and were able to acquire Anton Stralman for spare part Wayne Primeau.
Biggest Issue facing the team:
When Brent Sutter resigned as head coach of the New Jersey Devils despite the team coming off an Atlantic division title in June, a few eyebrows were raised. At the time Sutter said that he was leaving for the Swamp for personal reasons, stating that he wanted to spend time closer to his family, which remained in Western Canada where Sutter cut his teeth in the coaching ranks with the Red Deer Rebels. Conveniently, there just happened to be a coaching opening in Calgary and the Flames just happened to be run by Sutter's brother Darryl.
While Calgary took all the necessary precautions to keep the hiring transparent, most believe that the move to bring Sutter into the fold in Calgary was predestined. It might not be considered tampering, but with one season remaining on a contract that was signed in good faith, some may have felt it wasn't too far off. This additional scrutiny means that all the pressure is going to be on the Sutter brothers to deliver big things in their initial season together in Cow Town. General Manager Darryl now has the coach that he believes can push the Flames to the next level; a coach that has won wherever he has gone.
The younger Sutter inherits a very solid roster that fell just two points short of a Northwest division title. The Flames have the rare benefit that their top player is also one of the team's hardest workers. Jarome Iginla's combination of power, speed and leadership is a very unique quality in the NHL and a return to the 40-goal plateau should be a given with a full season of Olli Jokinen feeding him the puck.
The team's defensive unit should be the envy of most teams across the league thanks to the addition of smooth skating Jay Bouwmeester. He appears to be the ideal complement to Robyn Regehr's defensive instincts and Dion Phaneuf's offensive flair. When all else fails, the team can fall back on goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff, whose statistics during the regular season placed him in the conversation of elite level keepers.
Despite all the talent, the Flames came up short in the playoffs as the team took undisciplined penalties against an inexperienced Blackhawks club. After a regular season that saw him play in 76 games, Kiprusoff looked tired once the post-season arrived and he was shelled by the 'Hawks young snipers. Sutter will have to do a much better job than Keenan did at managing his 'keeper's minutes to keep him fresh for when the games really count. This may prove difficult as the team did not bring in a backup goaltender to spell Kipper occasionally, choosing to re-sign Curtis McElhinney.
In short, the Flames are running out of excuses. They did lose a lot of goals when Cammalleri and Bertuzzi left town, but if Jokinen can prove his worth, the Flames might have plenty of the pieces in place required for another run at the Stanley Cup. That might be a big if, but for Flames fans, anything short of a deep playoff sojourn will be considered a disappointment.
Player to watch:
A lot of the Flames' fortunes rest on the shoulders of Olli Jokinen. The Flames paid a high price for the Finn's services and are looking for a return on their investment. Fortunately for Jokinen he will be given every opportunity to succeed by being placed on a line with Iginla. However with Mike Cammalleri moving on to the Canadians, Jokinen will be depended upon to provide a bigger scoring punch in his first full season in Calgary.
Jokinen has shown in the past that he is capable of being a point-per-game type scorer, which should be the minimum expectation. After saving him from the playoff-less purgatory of the Phoenix Coyotes, Jokinen owes it to both himself and his team to produce an All-Star type season to erase any doubts that he can only produce statistics when he is on a losing team.
Scott Cullen's Fantasy Take:
Losing a point-per-game scorer won't be easy for the Calgary Flames to overcome, but there will be opportunities available for other forwards to produce. The good news is that the blueline gets a serious upgrade with the signing of Jay Bouwmeester.
Jarome Iginla remains a first-rate fantasy winger, tallying 35 goals or more for seven straight seasons and he's topped 80 points in each of the last three seasons. For fantasy purposes, though, it's also worth noting that Iggy only had 37 penalty minutes last year, which hinders his value (if ever-so-slightly) when compared to his 80-penalty minute seasons.
