Federal money tough to pin downJuly 23,2013By PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau
MONTPELIER — Economists for the state can forecast with surprising accuracy the tax revenues expected to flow into the treasury over the next fiscal year.
But predicting one of the largest sources of funds to Vermont's $5.2 billion budget — federal revenues — has proven a more difficult task. And despite a recent analysis done by experts for the Legislature, pinning down the federal funds on which the state so heavily relies is still something of a guessing game.
"There are just so many unknowns at this point," said Steve Klein, chief fiscal officer at the Legislature's Joint Fiscal Office.
"And there are a lot of political choices that are going to get made that are totally outside our control."
Official state revenue forecasts, the most recent of which arrived Tuesday, are historically reliable, deviating by only about 2 percent on average over actual revenues. That record of success gives lawmakers a high degree of confidence in the $1.56 billion in general fund revenues forecast to flow into Montpelier over the next 12 months.
Getting similarly reliable estimates for money flowing from the federal government is more difficult. But Klein said one thing is clear: risk for Vermont is to the downside.
In a report titled "Federal Funds — Reductions Today and Tomorrow," Klein surveyed the federal landscape in an attempt to divine how decisions in Washington, D.C., will affect Vermont. From health care and transportation to grants that support human services, Klein said Tuesday that federal funds coming into Vermont will likely shrink in the coming years.
"And one area where that could be extremely noticeable is in transportation," Klein said.
The reauthorization of the five-year federal transportation bill will likely overhaul a state-by-state allocation formula that has until now been favorable for the state. Vermont gets $2.85 cents from the feds for every $1 in gas tax it sends to the federal treasury, a ratio Klein said he expects will narrow in the next five-year bill.
Projected declines in federal discretionary spending, according to Klein, also imperil some of the federal dollars coming into
Vermont. Non-defense discretionary spending supports everything from assistance for low-income populations and energy investments to public safety grants and environmental protection.
As a share of gross domestic product, according to Klein's report, non-defense discretionary spending is expected to drop by a third over the next 10 years, from 8.3 percent to 5.5 percent.
The reductions will come at a time when Vermont is more reliant on federal funding than at anytime in recent memory; federal funds now account for 46 percent of Vermont's non-education budget.

Orlando, Fla. • The Kid walked in smiling. Still humble. Still deferential. But more certain than ever his talent and name rank among the world's elite.
Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant battled with the best Sunday, won, and walked off the Amway Center hardwood with the 2012 NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player award to prove it. By the time Kid Clutch's co-game-high 36 points were in the book, the Western Conference had outlasted the Eastern Conference 152-149 in the 61st annual contest, Durant had outdueled Miami's LeBron James, and the 23-year-old whose childlike grin disguises his killer touch shined brighter than anyone in the league.
Storylines How the West wonIn short » Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant leads the Western Conference to a 152-149 victory over the Eastern Conference.
Key stat » The teams combine for 303 points and 25 made 3-pointers, both of which set records.
Key moment » Ex-Jazz guard Deron Williams misses a potential game-winning 3-pointer with 8.9 seconds to go.

Even on the night Kobe Bryant (27 points) topped Michael Jordan for the all-time All-Star scoring record, hitting 271 for his career.
Even during an evening when The King poured in 36 points — including 15 during the third quarter and 23 in the second half — as James nearly tilted the outcome toward the East.
Durant still hasn't won the NBA's regular-season MVP. He still hasn't carried the Thunder to the NBA Finals. But during a lockout-shortened 2011-12 season that already bears The Kid's trademark — charity-game and streetball throwdowns during the work stoppage, OKC's 27-7 mark that's tied for tops in the league heading into the second half of the year — the two-time scoring champion added another trophy to his mantle Sunday before a worldwide audience.
"Man, it's just exciting to be named [an] All-Star," said Durant, who drilled 14 of 25 shots, hit three 3-pointers and grabbed seven rebounds in 37 minutes, 23 seconds of action. "But to step it up to another level and become MVP, it's only something that as a kid you dream about. Coming from where I come from, I didn't think I'd be here. Everything has just been a blessing to me. I'm excited. I'm glad I'm taking this back to Oklahoma City, as well."
So is Thunder coach Scott Brooks, who led a West team that set an All-Star record for most first-half points (88) and paired with the East to establish a new mark for combined points in a non-overtime game (301).
OKC's Russell Westbrook added 21 on 10-of-17 shooting and five rebounds, while Brooks' staff was fleshed out by his assistants. It was small-market thunder in what has become the flashiest midseason exhibition game of any of the big-four professional sports.
Brooks told himself before All-Star weekend started to enjoy the ride. He regularly coaches two of the game's most thrilling young stars and leads a team that should be competing for the NBA championship for years to come. But after spending 10 years in the league as a player and never coming close to the inside of an All-Star locker room, Brooks knew Sunday was special.
"I loved every minute of it," he said. "I will cherish it for the rest of my career."
Brooks also knows only a few ever have the opportunity to intimately watch a player like Durant — still far from his prime, with an overall game that continues to deepen — evolve and mature before their eyes.
"The thing I love about him, he comes in everyday and gets his work in, whether he has a big night or a night that wasn't so well. He comes in and does his work," Brooks said. "He's a tremendous kid, as you all well know. Off the court, he's classy — he's a special teammate."
The Kid's one step closer to the top of the league. He smiled and clutched the trophy that proved it. And he's still only 23 years old.

Stress and Asthma
Relaxation Exercises to Manage Stress With Asthma
A 2-minute Relaxation Exercise. Concentrate your thoughts on yourself and your breathing. Take a few deep breaths, exhaling slowly. Mentally scan your body. Notice areas that feel tense or cramped. Quickly loosen up these areas. Let go of as much tension as you can. Rotate your head in a smooth, circular motion once or twice. (Stop any movements that cause pain.) Roll your shoulders forward and backward several times. Let all of your muscles completely relax. Recall a pleasant thought for a few seconds. Take another deep breath and exhale slowly. You should feel more relaxed.
Mind Relaxation Exercises. Close your eyes. Breathe normally through your nose. As you exhale, silently say to yourself the word "one," a short word such as "peaceful," or a short phrase such as "I feel quiet" or "I'm safe." Continue for 10 minutes. If your mind wanders, gently remind yourself to think about your breathing and your chosen word or phrase. Let your breathing become slow and steady.
Deep Breathing Relaxation. Imagine a spot just below your navel. Breathe into that spot and fill your abdomen with air. Let the air fill you from the abdomen up, and then let it out, similar to deflating a balloon. With every long, slow breath out, you should feel more relaxed.

Do right and wrong exist?
I'm curious about objective right and wrong. If you believe in God, this is a no-brainer. Some things are wrong, some things are right, simply because God says so and He knows. But if you don't believe in God, can you still believe in objective morality? I personally don't think you can. I mean, what do you base it off of? How do you find out what's objectively right or wrong? (By objective I mean "existing independent of thought or an observer as part of reality." from dictionary.com)
Sure, there's subjective morality. Any idea of right or wrong come up with by a human is by definition subjective. That's all well and good. Problem is that it only applies to people who believe in it and it gives them no authority to proclaim anything as "what we should be doing." Very often everybody disagrees with each other and we don't get anywhere. (Just look at Congress for an example of this.)
Maybe you disagree with me and you think there is objective morality but no God. That's fine. I would like to ask you to answer a question for me though. Let's pick an easy one. Why is rape objectively wrong? Don't misunderstand me, I can't think of a single instance where rape wouldn't be wrong. I believe very strongly that sexual abuse is one of the greatest evils in the world. Why is it evil? If you can answer me without using a God-based or subjective argument, I'll concede the point.
That point is this: Without God, there is no such thing as right and wrong, only the things we call right and wrong. And since nobody can agree on what to call what, we're all in a lot of trouble.

Barry Palmer 100+
daniel hehir 20+Feb 11 2013: Scot,
Of course not. There are many other things in the world that are wrong but not considered crimes. The future will surely bring many new things that may be wrong. The judicial system usually follows after the act. There can be no "content" to your concept of "wrong" until the deed is first done. You cannot make a law against something that is wrong (crime) ... when it has not happening yet ....
Feb 21 2013: Beg to differ. Believe laws are composed occasionally from anticipation alone. Certainly policies are. Many times we can anticipate how a new product or procedure will give rise to a new temptation. We do this sort of thing at home all the time. So, if we bring home a teddy bear that records & plays back what it hears, we make a rule that Teddy can only record our own voice and not for instance the angry neighbor's voice. Though he may be heard sometimes in the background.

To My Friends
Words of the Week
Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Ultimately, happiness rests on how you establish a solid sense of self or being. Happiness does not lie in outward appearances nor in vanity. It is a matter of what you feel inside; it is a deep resonance in your life. To be filled each day with a rewarding sense of exhilaration and purpose, a sense of tasks accomplished and deep fulfillmentpeople who feel this way are happy. Those who have this sense of satisfaction even if they are extremely busy are much happier than those who have time on their hands but feel empty inside.<< Yesterday Today Tomorrow >>
These excerpts are from "For Today and Tomorrow," a book of daily inspirationals by SGI President Daisaku Ikeda. This book is available for purchase at our Online Bookstore or your local SGI-USA Community Center bookstore.

The Existence of God

Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jun 10 2013: There is no doubt about Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism being more reliable than Bible. I shall explain how? Even before advent of Lord Krishna, Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed... nothing we called religion existed on mother earth. Still humanity lived and survived. How? It was inherent Dharma (righteousness) in all living beings including human beings that made life worthy of living. Before advent of any religion existed, "Dharma" ... "Your right to do what is just and right and not what was destined"!
As the tree of Dharma evolved further... it developed four segments and four primary Vedas of Hinduism (Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda) came into being. As Vedas were voluminous documents beyond reach of commoners, masses... with coming of Lord Krishna essence of all Vedas reached entire mankind in form of sacred Bhagavad Gita. After coming of Lord Krishna about thousand years later offshoots a branch and Mahavira (24th Tirthankara of Jainism... preceptor) came into being.
Almost 77 years later to Mahavira another branch evolved and Gautama Buddha came into being. About 423 years later to Gautama Buddha another branch evolved and Jesus Christ came into being. A few centuries later came Prophet Mohammed. Every branch in the tree had its significance. As many main branches... as many different religions exist in world! All main branches segmented further into smaller branches. Most primary religions further segmented into smaller sects.
Whatever is contained in Bhagavad Gita is absolute truth. Right from stage of big bang to dissolution of cosmos (termed Pralaya in Hinduism)... all was explicitly detailed in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. For human beings to reach God... travelling path of spirituality as detailed in Bhagavad Gita was an absolute must. One thing about sacred scriptures of Hinduism was apparent. None could assimilate teachings of Bhagavad Gita literally... it demands reading in between the lines!
Jun 10 2013: thanks Vijay for expanding on what you believe.
I'm not sure we really know when and where the first religious type beliefs took hold. I guess people have had religious or spiritual beliefs well before any surviving religion started.
I'm still not sure why you have confidence that this is all true.
How can I confirm this is true? Or is it a faith position?
Jun 10 2013: Yes... it was absolute faith in God Almighty that I realized self... realized god in the wee hours of third of August 1993 at 37 years of age. This is my last manifestation on mother earth... 8.4 millionth manifestation, last in cosmic life cycle! Having reached end of cosmic life... nowhere else to go further, moment I leave my mortal frame... I shall but attain salvation moksha forever!
When I started in search of God six years of age... I had no inkling what God Almighty was all about. By 13 years of age... my simple desire, wish turned to firm conviction... come whatever may, in this very life I shall see and meet God! 25 years of yoga meditation... I finally landed in laps of God Almighty! Moments before realizing self I did not know what I was about to achieve.
The moment I realized God... God Almighty gave me a lengthy dictation for above two hours. Only then I realized what I had achieved on spiritual path. It was my firm belief in God Almighty that I reached God in present life. Having reached source of all wisdom contained in entire cosmos... sacred scriptures of different religions of world have become like ABCD to me.
I have just started my commentary on Bhagavad Gita which is available at - http://www.bhagavadgitasummary.com
Side by side I also plan to complete my commentary on nine principal Upanishads (independent treatises) within a span of 2 to 3 years.
Whatever I say or write is with firm conviction. My karma having negated to zero... I have become a pure soul atman! I have waited for full 20 years before starting my commentary on Bhagavad Gita as I could not leave my family midway. Now that my family responsibilities are complete... I can indulge in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads at my will.
Jun 12 2013: I guess anything I say in response to your firm conviction may sound predictable to those with a healthy skepticism or to those familiar with these issues as they relate to other faith positions.
I wish you well in your spiritual journey and writings and respect that you have taken care of your families material needs. I note some apocalyptic traditions encourage people to leave their families to follow gods and gurus.

But conversely, the production of adult diapers has risen seven percent in just two years, hitting 5 billion units last year.

These bacteria-free pellets can then be used in biomass boilers and stoves for home or water heating.

RRSTAR.COM STAFF REPORTS Posted Aug 05, 2010 @ 10:41 PM ROCKFORD — For the seventh consecutive year, Rockford College has been named one of the best colleges in the Midwest by the Princeton Review, a New York-based firm that specializes in resources on colleges for prospective students. The Princeton Review made its selections based on institutional data received from colleges across the U.S., visits to colleges over the years, and opinions of high school and independent advisers. The Review, which is not affiliated with the university, also polled students on various aspects of life at their colleges using an 80-question survey. Rockford College is one of 19 colleges in Illinois to make the cut. Among the special distinctions Rockford College is noted for is its civic engagement, involving students in community-based nonprofit organizations and projects. As a result, the firm previously named the college a "College with a Conscience." For the past two years, the college also has been named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for its campus engagement with the community. For a complete look at The Princeton Review's "Best Colleges Region by Region," see princetonreview.com.

Just because salt chlorination is largely an automated process doesn't mean it is maintenance-free. Here are a few tips for
keeping the system functioning in top form, and preventing many
problems before they start.
Practice cell hygiene.
Salt cells are designed to degrade over time as they provide ions
for the chlorine-generation reaction. Though cells often will last
a year or more, high bather loads or poor water chemistry can wear
them out much more rapidly. Thus, it's crucial to visually
inspect the cells at least once a month, and clean or replace them
as they show signs of wear and tear.
Choose wisely.
Using treatment products that are specifically tailored for
saltwater pools will provide superior performance in the long run.
Salt isn't all just salt; chemicals such as copper and
phosphates are common in many brands not tailored for salt
chlorination. So use a reputable brand, and check the label to make
sure you know what else is being added to the water. That awareness
will go a long way toward preventing problems.
Test, test, test.
Testing water regularly — at least weekly for chlorine and
pH, and monthly for parameters such as total alkalinity, calcium
hardness and cyanuric acid — will provide a clear idea of
where the water chemistry is headed, and what's needed to
prevent common issues like calcium scale. A little regular
rebalancing often is all that's needed.
Hiring? Nearly 100,000 troops will be looking for jobs

In response to hill55's comment:
In response to notin's comment:All it takes is the right injury to re-open the market for Ellsbury.
Or the wrong injury to Jacoby Ellsbury to close the market.
Seriously? Are you going with that? As if it is unique to Ellsbury? Name one player who gets injured and it opens the market. Didn't the injury to Aaron Boone open the market for A-Rod just a little bit more?
While the market for Ellsbury might be not much now, if a team with 2013 aspriatons loses their CF for the year, it absolutely opens the market for Ellsbury. Say Austin Jackson, Denard Span, BJ Upton, or Matt Kemp get injured during ST? Or Leonys Martin? And probably a few others. Adam Eaton? Angel Pagan? Ben Revere? None of these players are immune to season-ending injury. If Ellsbury does have a season-ending injury in ST, it probably helps Boston, as it has potential effects on his short term demands. Why turn down a Qualifying Offer after a missed season?
As it stands now, there are actually 2 teams that could use Ellsbury - Tampa and the Yankees. NY is likely to stopgap for the first 10 weeks, but Tampa would already by better off making a move for him short term, but that team rarely makes big short term moves. Whether or not Boston woudld help either is another matter, although if they are running up the white flag on2013 it makes sense to steal from the future of either of these teams while trying to build their own.
The White Sox are probably another team that could use Ellsbury right now. The drawback with them is the poor minor league system all but devoid of anything anyone else wants.
However, as the AL East is pretty wide open with no true dominant team, Boston is much more likely to hold on to Ellsbury and see how the season unfolds...

Malachi 4:5:
I will send you the prophet Elijah. He will come before the day of the Lord arrives. It will be a great and terrifying day
Jesus says in Matthew 11:14
"and if you are willing to believe their message, John is Elijah, whose coming was predicted"
It's pretty clear from the above verse that John was Elijah reincarnated.
Wouldn't the above verses imply that reincarnation is true?

SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. - It's been nearly a year and a half since the murder of Chanin Starbuck in her Deer Park home. After her murder, police arrested her ex-husband, Clay Starbuck, after finding evidence that pointed to him as her killer. Now, just a month before the trial, there are new developments in the case. A judge ruled that five of Starbuck's children will testify for the prosecution, against their father, in a video testimony that will be recorded later this month.
The case goes back to December of 2011. Two of the Starbuck boys are adults, three are juveniles, and they will take the stand against their father in their mother's murder case. Prosecutor Steve Tucker asked the judge for the ruling and it was granted. Prosecutors believe the kids have critical information that will help their case as they work to keep Clay Starbuck locked up.
On December 3rd, 2011, Chanin Starbuck was found dead. Police arrested Clay Starbuck in February and he was soon charged with his ex-wife's murder. The murder trial is coming up it will take place in the beginning of May, but the kid's video testimony will take place before then. The kids will record their testimony on camera in front of the judge and those testimonies will be used in trial not long from now.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
Posted 03/31/2010 12:07 PM
the biggest three-game test of the season saw Portland (45-29) pass
with flying colors, they must find a new way to motivate themselves as
perennial cellar dwellers, New York (26-47) are in the Rose City.
Playing 82 games, plus pre-season and training camp, can take its toll
on a player both mentally and physically. Every member of the Trail
Blazers knows each game the rest of the way is a playoff game,
sometimes even single elimination, and a lot of times the opponent
alone is worthy enough of motivation, such as Dallas on a TNT Thursday
night or in Oklahoma City to run down the youthful Thunder for 6th
place. Unfortunately for Portland, the Knicks are no longer the
prime-time attraction, meaning it can become very easy for the Blazers
to overlook them, so Coach Nate and the players themselves must find
some inner drive. Playoff positioning aside, the revenge factor should
be in place as the Knicks handled the Trail Blazers with ease back on
December 7th, 93-84.
If Portland doesn't remember holding a strong, double-digit lead in last year's contest
in the Rose Garden, only to see the Knicks storm back to take a 13
point lead, before Roy-Wonder put on his cape and made the improbable
happen, then they should learn from the Utah Jazz.
After storming out of the gate with 44 1st quarter points and a 14
point lead, all looked well in Salt Lake City, before it happened. The
Jazz let up, lost focus, and thought the game was over after the first
12 minutes instead of playing a full 48. New York ended up taking the
lead on multiple occasions in the second half, even having it tied late
in the 4th before Deron Williams put them away with a three. When you
are playing an opponent who has nothing to lose, only to gain, you must
assert your dominance early and often to ensure their spirits have been
crushed. Over the first 60 or so games this year, this may have been a
problem for the Trail Blazers, but lately, speaking of the Sacramento
game on march 12th and New Orleans on the 27th specifically, Portland
has done a superb job of gaining early leads and not letting the
opponent creep back in. It will be imperative to have a cushy lead
heading into the 4th so not only can the starters gain much needed rest
for tomorrow's game in the altitude of Denver but to let the bench work
out some of their kinks.
In regards to the bench, frankly, they
haven't even been mediocre lately, sans Howard. They scored a dreadful
11 points in Phoenix and only 12 against OKC resulting in a 1-1 split
in those two games, but for a team like the Trail Blazers, who are
looking to improve their seeding, not maintain it, sporadic bench play
is the difference between a favorable matchup come late April and not.
Coach Nate's late season rotation looks to be in playoff form as it has
been trimmed down to only nine players, with the rooks only getting mop
up duty. Juwan, really the only serviceable second string big, has been
the only consistent offense for the second unit, while Rudy and Marty
have seen their shots evaporate and Bayless struggle to deal with the
up and down playing time. Not being an NBA player, I can only imagine
how hard it is to get infrequent minutes in Jerryd's case or go from
being a starter to seldom used role player in Webster's case, but my
advice to them would be to focus and have a good time out there. You
know you'll get at least a certain amount of time, whether it be five
or 10 minutes, and lay it all on the line. Play within yourself and
make it happen. Coming off of the bench and producing instantly is one
of the toughest things to do in sports as a lot of players need a
rhythm to get going, but all it takes is a few good outings and the
their time should increase. Personally, the key to Portland making it
out of round 1 is the bench. Our starters are already clicking on all
cylinders right now, but they are the post-season X-Factor.
Portland must control it tonight and not get caught up in the run and
gun, free flowing style the Knicks love to play. This doesn't mean the
Trail Blazers shouldn't look to push the pace at all, because cheap
buckets can be had on these guys but pick and choose the proper times
to push tempo. Whatever we do, it must be pro-active and not reactive.
If we want to grind it out, that's how the game will go or if we want a
little showtime then so be it. The one aspect on offense we must stray
from is the early shots in the shot clock. Unless it is wide open or
from very close range, work the shot clock a bit and make this Knicks
team work on the defensive end. Chances are the harder Portland makes
New York work, the less resistance they'll face. Andre and LaMarcus
should have no problems having the offense run through them on the
blocks. If New York gets lazy, there is no way Douglas or Lee can
either their respective assignments single handily or if they get
lackadaisical coming out of their double teams, Batum, Roy, Webster,
etc will be waiting to do work from beyond the arc.
While every
remaining game is scary due to the implications it would have on the
standings if a loss was incurred, I feel pretty confident in our boys
tonight. They are on a torrid face right now and with the added veteran
leadership provided by Dre, Marcus and Juwan, the Blazers know the task
at hand. As easy as it might be to overlook the Knicks, they learned
their lesson against the Wizards and I don't see it happening again.
Even if the bench doesn't show signs of improvement, which would be
extremely disappointing tonight, the starters are good enough to put up
win #46 for the Rip City. As well as Andre and Brandon have played
lately, don't be surprised if Batum has a huge night. The Knicks may
hone in on those two, leaving Nico open to operate, and with the way
New York plays in transition defense, Andre could have a field day
throwing passes ahead to Batum for a few Batum-Shokka-Lokkas.

Tory,I worked for you when you still sold Amoco. I euppmd gas and cleaned your rental bikes that you offered off of a trailer at St. Augustine beach on Anastasia State Park. I remember wind surfing with Ole Weiss at Salt Run when he worked for you giving lessons. I also remember that you preferred O'steen's take out. Remember that Nissan that your friend bought from Yarbrough's that he thought was a lemon? He painted LEMON in white paint all over that thing just to piss them off! That was probably 25 years ago! Times have changed, but you still earn the respect of the community. I live in Alaska now, flying helicopters for the Coast Guard, but still hear good things about you. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for contributing. It's helped me understand the iessus.

Establish program to convert manufacturing centers into clean technology leaders
Will "establish a federal investment program to help manufacturing centers modernize and help Americans learn new skills to produce green products. This federal grant program will allocate money to the states to identify and support local manufacturers with the most compelling plans for modernizing existing or closed manufacturing facilities to produce new advanced clean technologies. This investment will help provide the critical up-front capital needed by small and mid-size manufacturers to produce these innovative new technologies. Along with an increased federal investment in the research, development and deployment of advanced technologies, this $1 billion per year investment will help spur sustainable economic growth in communities across the country."
Obama used the stimulus bill to advance this goal
Updated: Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 | By Catharine Richert
When Barack Obama was campaigning, he talked a lot about how a green economy could also create jobs. He was so specific on the topic that he promised to establish an investment program to help the manufacturing industry produce green products.
Turns out that Obama got a chance to advance this goal early on as part of the stimulus bill, though not precisely what he had talked about while running for office.
For example, about $3.1 billion of the $787 billion stimulus bill has been set aside for state energy programs. There are few limitations on how the money can be used, but the funding must focus generally on green job creation and energy efficient technology adoption. The grants can be used to help small- to medium-size manufacturing facilities produce clean technologies.
Additional funding has been set aside to help companies design and manufacture clean energy products. For instance, the Department of Energy awarded $564 million in December 2009 to support the development of advanced biofuel refineries -- facilities that make biofuel out of woodchips, grass and other organic waste products -- in 15 states.
Other efforts include funding to boost efficient vehicle production and a 30 percent tax credit for clean manufacturing projects.
So, on the campaign trail, Obama talked about a single investment fund to help American manufacturers get up to speed on the latest in green technology production. Instead, he's used the stimulus bill to support various projects meant to transform green manufacturing and to create green jobs as a result. We give Obama a Promise Kept on this pledge.

white woman, are you forreal?
because black and brown crime usually isn't against each other, it's about shooting and stabbing random white women. ok.
In grad school I had an international student explain to me that I was less likely to be mugged by a black man because I am black. He really believed this. Whoever posted this really believes this. Lots of people really believe this. These assholes really think this shit doesnt happen to us. Thats what makes it so easy to ignore when it does happen to us.
lord, my heartrate.
universe, grant me the fucking stability to not fucking KILL one of these broads IRL.
I can't even…
yeah, it's like sometimes I think it would be cool to be white so I didn't automatically think of police officers as threats to my personal safety.
Reblogged for commentary.
My mother is a naturalized citizen, born in Mexico, BUT my last name is "Collins", and I'm light enough that most people think I'm all European. Most people. NOT all policemen.
Thinking of the police as anything OTHER than a threat to the personal safety is so alien to me that I didn't realize there WERE people who didn't fear them…
Read that again: I assumed ALL civilians viewed the police as armed thugs, and the paramilitary arm of internal state control. Until I was 33 years old.
Trust me, white privilege is alive and well.

If you read the title more than once, then props to my team at KKEnt for the help. I welcome you all to this week's WTF Gamers?!? in which I will be talking about how games need that time to be the right game to enjoy. It has been apparent that games have increased in release almost every week and honestly, the selection has been quite dull. The best example I can come up with is the recent release of Naughty Dog's game The Last of Us; which features a strong campaign and a flawless multi-player. It is apparent that Naughty Dog has been working on this title for over three and a half years; which has been extremely intense. So this question has been asked for a long time now, "What is more important? Quality or Time?"
In my experience with gamers, I hear a lot of complaining about a game taking too long in development. People seem to demand it comes out now. However, when it finally does release, it's not what they expected, and they end up returning it for a laughable amount of trade-in money. That's a whole other subject that we shall not touch base on…for now… but apparently the developers are getting some notion that we need these games right now. I want to know what census they are conducting where we are asking for games to come out almost every Tuesday of each month. Surfjafo brought to my attention that if developers just concentrated on the game, instead of trying to top one another; they would have a better title. I might have phrase that wrong, but I understand the concept of the anxiety of if your product is better, so you tend to trip up on your own work. I asked a round table of admins and civilians to give off their thoughts on the matter.
Serafin Santiago Jr.:
"I say take your time. Rushing a product to the finish line is like a virgin alone in a room with their mate. Can anyone say premature ejaculation?"
Those were some strong choice of words, but the rushed statement is to the point and so far in history no one enjoys early boo boo juice. The worst of the worst when I witnessed this first hand at a Sega event where I got a chance to try out the Thor and Captain America games, which were both coming out in the same year. Thor was slated for May, and the game I played was 2 months from that release. It looked as if it were completed just days ago. The thing is– I just took it as it was a game still in development, and they just wanted to show off the product they had. I know what you're thinking– when it comes to games based on comic books, the movies are hardly ever good, but we've had some decent titles, lately. Either way, the game finally released and it looked like the same prototype I played at the event. It had the same glitches, the same graphics and even color drops at times. My only reaction was, "WTF IS THIS ASS-GUARDIAN BS?!?" This, in turn, made me think about the Captain America game, which looked finished and was to be released four months away. The funny part is while the developer let me play on the Ps3 console with the 3D glasses; he was upset that I put the title on the hardest difficulty and went through it without a problem. I had to explain that the title was tough; I am just that good of a gamer. The gameplay was similar to Rocksteady's Batman Arkham Asylum, with the same graphics and same fighting mechanics, which fit really well for the super soldier.
This is also can be said for the systems and how the companies rush to get product out first. In 2005, Microsoft released the Xbox 360, which came out a year later before the Ps3 and Nintendo Wii. They may have had an early lead, but the system had the red ring and pretty much everything went downhill from there. Do not take this as me taking a shot at MS, because I stuck with them since the beginning of their Xbox debut, but if I were to calculate how many systems I went through for the 360, it would be in the double-digits, and I do mean the high double-digits. The same thing is happening now with the Nintendo WiiU. Not that the system is buggy, but since they took an early start, they really are falling short on the fans. It is a fine gaming system and pretty much the only system sticking to the idea of gaming only, but they re-hashed a lot of games that already came out and then people come looking for new titles which you hardly have. The few good titles are not really geared for everyone– mostly fan-based– for example: Monster Hunter Tri. We all know it is a great game and Capcom took their time in making this title, but not really geared for everyone. Now here is a statement from writer Shaynell:
"I feel developers believe they have a finalized product. They wouldn't release the game if they didn't. I don't think time it's necessarily an issue as much as money is.
They do what they can with the budget they're allotted. Corners will be cut and sacrifices will be made…
I agree with that statement, but only to an extent. Many independent developers work on titles with little-to-no budget, and they are amazing. I would use the example of Limbo and the Shank series, which both are side scrolled titles, but fall under different genres. The success of the independent market could be because they are not tied to the rules of the big-named companies. They take their time and bring out a game that is meant to be fun, and even though it is less superior in graphics, it is still a great experience!
This would be the time to speak out to the developers. We are about to break into the new consoles and that means a whole new level of gaming. I say we speak our minds, because gaming is an expensive experience and now we honestly want to feel satisfied when spending $59.99 for a title, or better yet, if you really want to get technical with season passes added, we are truly spending close to $90 for one game. So developers, whomever is pushing you to meet a certain deadline, please let them know that your fans– the gamers and the people that are paying for your checks– want you to take your time and really study your games. We do appreciate your hard work, but don't make us feel like suckers for when we buy into your product. Stay frosty gamers!
Example of a good multiplayer game with intense situations.

The Issue
All signs point toward another good year for cotton across the Belt. Some factors contributing to cotton's momentum are obviously out of the producer's hands. But he can still be flexible as he prepares to take advantage of record-high prices. Now is the time to plan ahead and make the 2011 season as profitable as possible.

Social Media Results 2011 #SocMedResults
Posted on 24. Jun, 2011 by Darcie Tanner in Thoughts
You hear these over and over again and they are the fundamentals of communicating through social media. It's no longer about speaking at your consumers, but having a conversation with them.
On the 13th & 14th of June this month, myself and a colleague attended Social Media Results: From Engagement to ROI.
The speakers looked promising and I am always eager to know more about the ever changing world of social media: How are they doing it; am I doing it better; where can I improve and a few of those 'why didn't I think of that?!' moments.
There were very few 'agency side' attendee's, so it was a really good opportunity to hear from the client side: how they run their social media teams in house, how most of them are expanding their teams and how they are learning as they go.
Some of the more common social media first learnings were re-emphasised:
- Establish a tone of voice for your online communication
- Don't treat social media as an add on – for many companies, the cost of not doing social media is greater than the cost of doing it
- Go where your audience is – don't just join a platform because it's there – take the time and do your research
- Don't just ask questions, do something with the feedback – build advocates who will sell your brand for you
- It takes a while to build a fan base – don't expect great success over night – set realistic goals and KPIs
- Do less, better
People are less patient online these days; they can tell when a brand isn't being genuine and you have to be careful, because a competitor is just one click away.
During a breakout session Emma Roffey from Cisco spoke about the increasing importance and power of video. She shared the fact that Cisco employees are no longer allowed to travel for internal meetings; all meetings are now done through video chat.
She said "text and images are no longer enough" and that 49% of people who purchased technology said that a video had affected their decision.
Other key topics touched on throughout the conference were:
- Strategy: "Social Media strategies should include On Site, Off Site and Real World engagement"
- Resource: Most mentioned they were under resourced and would be growing their team
- Paid activity: Compliment your campaigns and profiles with Facebook Ads, Promoted tweets
- Give to get: Share exclusive content
- Be prepared for a crisis, so when it arises you can remain cool and calm - Tom Hall of Lonely Planet impressed me immensely when he explained how Lonely Planet made all of their mobile apps free so people could make travel and sleeping arrangements during the Ash Cloud of 2010.
Social search was briefly mentioned in regards to social media profiles tying into search results for users and their social circles. With the recent launch of Google +1 and Google's increased focus on social search it's becoming more and more important for company's to have an established, influential and active social media presence tied into their marketing presence.
It's all about the consumer.
