My professor asked, "What do we want more of, but never get?…It's not sex, it's SLEEP!"
We had a lecture on Circadian Rhythms, Sleep, and Sleep Disorders from which I pulled all this information!
I didn't sleep enough from April-June. I was sleeping 6-6.5 hours a night which made concentrating in class (when I had to go to class) and studying in the mid-afternoon difficult. With this amount of sleep, I'm still able to be pretty productive and exercise vigorously for 45-1 hr a day. How do I feel when I'm sleep deprived? I feel more jittery, socially awkward, and more stressed. This makes sense because lack of sleep makes normal people more disinhibited. For example, you're more likely to binge eating and lose control of your appetite when you're sleep-deprived. You have less control of your emotions and reactions when you're sleep deprived. I learned that lack of sleep causes normal people to become a little hypomanic (a little crazy), but our professor emphasized that it's more "disinhibited" behavior. And lack of sleep isn't good for your brain either!
The amount of sleep is different for everyone. About 2% of the population functions optimally with less than 6 hours of sleep…but for the majority of us…(including successful, smart, talented people) need around 7-8 hours per night.
Lack of sleep builds up as "sleep debt." If you naturally need 8 hours of sleep, and you only sleep 7 hours tonight, you'll have 1 hour of sleep debt. This adds up overtime making you more tired. However, you can get back on track by sleeping more the next couple nights!
A good way to tell if you've had enough sleep is to take a morning yoga class and see how coordinated and balanced you are. The other day I went to Bikram after only 5 hours of sleep and I was falling out of tree stand. That's more affirmation that I'm not only of the 2%.
Getting enough sleep is so important! Adequate rest is good for your body and mind. It keeps you on your A-game and is part of self-care and love.
Here's to a start of a fun, restful, and healthy-habit forming summer!
P.S. Do you like my graphic? Any feedback about my blog and posts would be much appreciated! Thanks everyone =)

What is a star seed? Better yet, who is a starseed? If you trace the origins of human lineage, you end up with a plethora of questions. For example, if we were to believe the bible's origins of mankind and assume that we came from Adam and Eve, then that assumption wouldn't explain the genetic differences in our population. Continuing with the bible story, we are led to believe that Noah and his family were the only survivors of the Great Flood, which means we are allegedly all descendents of Noah and his family. Are we to assume that Noah brought aboard two of every ethnicity as well? That's highly unlikely. Let's examine the other possibilities.
Zecharia Sitchin believes our DNA was genetically manipulated, which remains a possibility, but why would the Annunaki create various ethnicities instead of one slave race?
That leads us to another, more feasible, possibility. We were seeded here from various star nations. In this premise, genetic and ethnic diversity is explained. It also covers the differences in our blood types, such as Rh negative, Rh positive, A, B, AB and O blood types. Perhaps some star nations have people with predominantly red hair and freckles while others have dark skinned inhabitants? Maybe some, such as the Pleiadians, have blonde hair and blue eyes?
It's also possible that Sitchin's premise is correct, while other star nations ALSO seeded the planet with their genetic offspring.
Perhaps we would look at ourselves differently if we saw a planet inhabited by various star nations versus segregating ourselves from one another through patriotism, nationality and prejudice?
Is it possible that our planet is one gigantic galactic experiment to see how various star nations would get along with one another?

There is only one official cake for President Obama's inaugural ball and it's coming from Baltimore's own Charm City Cakes.
The bakery announced Friday morning that Duff Goldman was commissioned to make the cake for the Commander-in-Chief's Ball, the most important of the post-inaugural parties and one of just two Obama is expected to attend.
The ball's theme is honoring active duty and reserve service members, wounded warriors and Medal Of Honor recipients.
"We are thrilled to be creating the cake for such an historical event," Goldman said in a statement. "The cake design is just the right balance of respect and celebration and we could not be more excited to honor our President and our country's men and women in uniform."
The cake will be six tiers. There will be a replica of the presidential seal and hand-painted bunting and stars and stripes.
Flavors will include red velvet, lemon poppyseed, pineapple coconut, and pumpkin chocolate chip with layers of Swiss butter cream.
Mary Alice Yeskey told The Sun that they'll assemble the cake Sunday -- breaking only to watch the Ravens play in the evening. Then on Monday afternoon, they'll drive the cake to D.C.
"We're beyond the moon honored about this," she said.

Steve Holzhausen has a knack at finding victory lane in his Gary Back prepared Ford Super Late Model. Saturday evening was no different as Holzhausen made a late surge to win, yet another, Wisconsin Challenge Series race at Marshfield Motor Speedway.
It was a beautiful day for racing for the Nasonville Dairy/Weber's Farm Store WCS schedule of events, here Saturday evening at Marshfield Motor Speedway. Mark Eswein starting the day off turning the fastest lap on the 1/2 mile paved oval. Eswein, who is no stranger at turning fast laps at MMS, cracked the clock at 18.029. The 25 car field was paced by Dale, Wisconsin driver Brandon Selle. Three laps into the 80-lap event, Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin driver Jeff Weinfurter broke and dropped fluids onto the racing surface. Dean LaPointe, one of the fan favorites, was racing in the second groove and got into the fluid that Weinfurter dropped on the track. LaPointe looped his car in turns 3 & 4 backing his car into the wall. LaPointe escaped injury but his car wasn't so lucky. On the restart, Sparta's Tim Schendel moved to the forefront pulling away from Selle. Frank Nitzke broke loose and was setting his sights on Schendel. However, he had a rear view mirrior full of Necedah's Tim Sauter. Sauter, in Jay VanDerGeest's machine, made numerous attempts on the inside of Nitzke for the runnerup position. However, for the time being, Nitzke's car seemed to like the second groove and fended off Sauter's attempts. Bringing out another caution and tightening up the field was track champion Tim Hintz. Hintz, who calls Nekoosa his home, blew his engine dropping more oil in turns 3 & 4. After the clean up, Schendel once again paced the field with Eugene Gregorich hot on his heels. Gregorich, who appeared to have the inside position on Schendel entering turn 3, couldn't quite make the pass as Schendel's car showed much muscle slamming the door on Gregorich. With the weather changing significantly and a temperature drop of 18 degrees, it appeared the weather change was starting to affect certain cars. Holzhausen's hot rod appeared to like the cooler temps as he started moving through the field. Another driver moving his way to the front with some great racing moves, was Mark Eswein. With 17 laps remaining, caution would fly once again for debris on the backstretch. On the restart, Holzhausen moved by Schendel for the races' top spot. Eswein, Gregorich, and Schendel raced each other hard for the second spot as Holzhausen paced the field. With 5 laps to go, Jeremy Lepak and Jason Weinkauf made contact sending Weinkauf's car in a spin exiting turn 4. With this caution, it set up a very exciting finish, one that had the fans on the edge of their seats! Holzhausen appeared to have the car to beat as he pulled out a three car length lead with four laps to go. Some of the best racing of the day was the battle for second, Schendel and Eswein switched positions 3 times in the final 2 laps showing why they are some of the best drivers in America. In the end however, it was Steve Holzhausen adding another win to his resume of wins. Crossing the line in second, just a couple of feet ahead of Mark Eswein, was Tim Schendel. Having a great day and being consistent throughout the race, was Eugene Gregorich and Tim Sauter, finishing fourth and fifth respectively.
The 4-Cylinders always put on a great show at Marshfield Motor Speedway. Tonight was no exception, as Paul Berg and Peter Bell set the pace in the 20-lap main event. Looking strong early was Neillsville, Wisconsin driver Don Elmhorst. However, there were a group of drivers that started near the tail end of the field moving to the front rapidly. Austin Stump, Derk Hauser, and point leader Jeremiah Strauss seemed to have their sights on the top spot. By lap 13, Gilman, Wisconsin driver Derk Hauser powered his car to a four car length lead. Another driver looking very good was Randal Wilhorn. Wilhorn dodged inside and out of his fellow competitors, moving to the top 5 with just a handful of laps remaining. However, it was going to be Derk Hauser at the finishline looking to be unscaved by his counterparts. Finishing second was Austin Stump with a very fast Steve Hauser topping out in the third position. Rounding out the top five was Strauss and Randal Wilhorn.
The exciting motorcyles once again made there way to the fan friendly Marshfield Motor Speedway. If you've never had the opportunity to watch these expert motorcycle drivers race against each other, it would be strongly suggested. Handle bar-to-handle bar, tire-to-tire, the motorcycle drivers will have have you on the edge of your seat. Leading the way in the 10-lap main was Mark Will and Ronald Bean. After several laps, it was all-star bike race Steve Kasten setting the pace. Having much respect for each other, these drivers must have a lot of trust in their fellow driver's talents. The Cliff Eckes bike, Craig Lewis, Kyle Weise, and Kasten put on a great show for the large crowd at Marshfield Motor Speedway. At the half way point of this evenings feature event, it was Kasten leading the way with the Eckes machine, and Kyle Weise racing side by side for second. One lap later, Craig Lewis made the pass of Weise taking over third. In the end however, it was all Steve Kasten winning adding another feature win to his long list of wins! Eckes, Weise, Matt Cunningham, and Craig Lewis rounded out the top five.
The Junkyard Warriors once again left lasting impressions on the Marshfield area crowd. Once starter Patrick Barrett through the green flag for the start, it was Troy Harrison, Sr. and Marc Baldwin leading the way. By lap 4, Tim Anderson and Kyle Rasmussen were setting their sights on the top position. Last week's feature winner Shawn Carpenter also looked very strong, moving through the field with some nice racing moves. Anderson, who was a late arrival at the race track because of his high school graduation party, fended off challenges from Carpenter to win this evening's feature event. Kyle Rasmussen, in his second night with his new machine, finished a strong third. Chad Kaser and Dustin Paul rounded out the top five.
Next week it will be George's Empty Pockets night at the races. Divisions competing next week will be the Super Late Models, Super Stocks, 4-Cylinders, and the Junkyard Warriors. Miller qualifying will be at 6:00 pm. with hot racing action beginning at 7:30. Visit our website at www.marshfieldspeedway.com for all the latest news.

are said to have one of two main classes of beliefs: entity theories and incremental theories (Dweck, 1989; Dweck and Elliot, 1983; Dweck and Leggett, 1988). Children with entity theories believe that intelligence is a fixed property of individuals; children with incremental theories believe that intelligence is malleable (see also Resnick and Nelson-LeGall, 1998). Children who are entity theorists tend to hold performance goals in learning situations: they strive to perform well or appear to perform well, attain positive judgments of their competence, and avoid assessments. They avoid challenges that will reflect them in poor light. They show little persistence in the face of failure. Their aim is to perform well. In contrast, children who are incremental theorists have learning goals: they believe that intelligence can be improved by effort and will. They regard their own increasing competence as their goal. They seek challenges and show high persistence. It is clear that children's theories about learning affect how they learn and how they think about learning. Although most children probably fall on the continuum between the two theories and may simultaneously be incremental theorists in mathematics and entity theorists in art, the motivational factors affect their persistence, learning goals, sense of failure, and striving for success. Teachers can guide children to a more healthy conceptualization of their learning potential if they understand the beliefs that children bring to school.
Just as children are often self-directed learners in privileged domains, such as those of language and physical causality, young children exhibit a strong desire to apply themselves in intentional learning situations. They also learn in situations where there is no external pressure to improve and no feedback or reward other than pure satisfaction—sometimes called achievement or competence motivation (White, 1959; Yarrow and Messer, 1983; Dichter-Blancher et al., 1997). Children are both problem solvers and problem generators; they not only attempt to solve problems presented to them, but they also seek and create novel challenges. An adult struggling to solve a crossword puzzle has much in common with a young child trying to assemble a jigsaw puzzle. Why do they bother? It seems that humans have a need to solve problems; see Box 4.4. One of the challenges of schools is to build on children's motivation to explore, succeed, understand (Piaget, 1978) and harness it in the service of learning.
Along with children's natural curiosity and their persistence as self-motivated learners, what they learn during their first 4 or 5 years is not learned

Yeh, this is a little old as the season has started a long time ago (well the first half anyway), but I just found it so..smyeh.
I had a few thoughts while watching this which I'll begin with my most prevalent thought after the video as I don't want to spoiler the video.
1. If some creepy arse person comes into the auditorium making horrid noises and looking like it's decaying, I am NOT going to be staying in my seat. These people all just look and start laughing and continue to watch the film! Come on! If this were real and they had no way of knowing right away if it was real or not, they'd all be dead. Good riddance you morons.
2. I bet that there was at least one jerk in that audience that went out into the lobby and complained to theatre staff that their movie was disrupted and they deserve their money back or free passes.
3. Okay, cool effect from the screen having that chick shoot it.
4. They should have had the zombie attack someone to make it a bit more realistic. If it were a real zombie, I don't think it would have just wandered up and down the stairs.
5. That was a really awful movie trailer that they were playing.

Celebrating the Immigrant: An Administrative History
November 1954 marked the end of an era for Ellis Island. The Immigration and Naturalization Service in that month released on parole the detainees it had been holding there, moved its papers and furnishings to 70 Columbus Avenue, and declared it no longer wanted the facility in the New York harbor.
The move had been a long time coming. In the first decade and a half of the 20th century, immigration officials had admitted approximately one million newcomers a year through the island gateway, but in 1924 Congress all but closed entry to the United States. It provided further that prospective immigrants would be inspected at American consular offices abroad and the lucky few accepted would receive their visas there. From that point on, Ellis Island served primarily as a detention center: first, for illegal entrants who were awaiting deportation; during World War II, for enemy aliens; and in the 1950s for foreigners and immigrants suspected of holding communist or other subversive views. In the post-World War II years, the local administrators complained repeatedly to Washington that the station "with its great, wide hall and corridors, high ceilings, unusable spaces and outmoded utilities" was impossible to run efficiently and economically. And so, the place which once resounded with the babel of 5,000 entrants a day speaking a dozen or more languages, now lay quiet and abandoned. It was transferred to the General Services Administration to find some new use for it or dispose of it.
In accordance with the provisions of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, the GSA inquired whether any other federal agencies desired to take over the area. When none expressed an interest, the GSA, in March 1955, declared Ellis Island surplus property.
The GSA next invited state and local governments and qualified non-profit institutions to submit proposals for acquiring and using the site. Several serious suggestions were made. New York City wanted to place a shelter for the aged and homeless there, while Senator Irving Ives of New York introduced a bill for his state to purchase Ellis for use as a clinic for alcoholics. James F. Murray, member of the New Jersey Senate, proposed that his state construct a vehicular causeway to Ellis Island from Jersey City, develop a recreation area on it, and create an ethnic museum memorializing the millions of immigrants who had passed through there. Murray and the New Jersey Commissioner of Conservation and Economic Development, Joseph E. McLean, argued against the rival New York bids on the grounds that the Garden State's plan made a "more appropriate use of the Island" and that Ellis, only a thousand feet off the Jersey shore, rightfully belonged to New Jersey and not New York. [1]
The GSA ultimately rejected all of these proposals. Money was the biggest stumbling block. The GSA estimated that Ellis and its facilities were worth $6,000,000. It held that a governmental buyer would have to come up with at least half of that sum, which neither of the two states nor New York City would or could offer. Secondly, turning over the property to either New York or New Jersey threatened to revive the long-standing argument between them as to who rightfully owned Ellis. The plans of the American Museum of Immigration, Inc., to build a museum at the base of the Statue of Liberty presented a further obstacle to the New Jersey bid. In June 1955, Ten Eyck Lansing, then managing director of the AMI, wrote to Secretary of the Interior Douglas McKay, claiming that if the New Jersey idea were accepted it would duplicate the already approved AMI project and interfere with that group's fund-raising efforts. Assistant Secretary of the Interior Orme Lewis reassured Lansing of his department's commitment to the AMI and, in August 1955, wrote to the GSA requesting that "no disposal of Ellis Island be made which will conflict with or duplicate the efforts and expense already made by the American Museum of Immigration. . . ." [2]
After the GSA vetoed all governmental proposals, its Regional Commissioner, Walter F. Downey, in September 1956, announced that Ellis Island would be offered for sale to private buyers for commercial development. On September 18, the GSA placed advertisements in the Wall Street Journal and other newspapers promoting "ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS LAND MARKS IN THE WORLD." The notice stated that Ellis was a suitable location for an "oil storage depot, import and export processing, warehousing, manufacturing, . . ." and the like. The purchaser would receive 27.5 acres of land and 35 buildings, containing office and storage space, green house, library, dining and baggage rooms, dormitories, and a school. Even the ferry boat "Ellis Island" would be thrown into the package. Interested parties were to submit sealed bids to the GSA's New York office prior to November 19. The agency sent similar circulars to some 1,500 companies and various real estate brokers.
The government's announced intention to award Ellis to the highest commercial bidder provoked an uproar of protest. Numerous letters from those who had entered the United States through Ellis poured in to President Dwight D. Eisenhower. A typical one began, "Back in 1914, as an immigrant child from Greece, I first sensed the grandeur of this great country. . .when I landed on the Island." The writer went on to plead with the President to preserve Ellis as a memorial to all of the immigrants who had passed through there. Others wrote to GSA Regional Commissioner Downey. One letter to him from an attorney, whose family traced its entry to Ellis, not the "Mayflower, " stated: "To millions and millions of Americans Ellis Island was the 19th and 20th century counterpart of Plymouth Rock. [T]his little piece of land has associations of deep affection. To see it sold for commercial purposes will be to see it lose its identity and its historic memory." Senator Jacob Javits (Republican-New York) and New York City Mayor Robert Wagner sent telegrams to the Eisenhower Administration expressing their disapproval, and an irate congressman, T. James Tumulty, who had introduced a bill in the House of Representatives to make Ellis a national shrine, wrote to Secretary of the Interior Fred Seaton, "If you can auction off Ellis Island, perhaps you will be auctioning off the Statue of Liberty next." [3]
The public outcry induced Eisenhower, on September 24, 1956, to suspend the planned sale to provide time for further study of what to do with the historic site. While the President's action gratified many, it did not please one group. The promoters of the American Museum of Immigration had been running into difficulty raising the seed money for their upcoming public fund-raising campaign. They regarded the development of Ellis Island into an immigrant shrine as a grave threat to their efforts and ultimate success.
The AMI officials put into high gear their efforts to thwart any such plan for Ellis Island. The co-chairmen of the AMI's public drive for contributions, labor leader David J. McDonald and industrialist Pierre S. du Pont, 3rd, issued a joint statement to the press: "It is inconceivable to us that [Ellis Island] should be considered as appropriate for a national tribute to immigration. . . . " The experiences of the immigrants being examined there were often "painful and bewildering. . . .No immigrant was ever attracted to America by Ellis Island. . . .The lodestar for all of them was the Statue of Liberty. . . . Liberty Island is a happy place of continuing inspiration, not a depository of bad memories." William H. Baldwin, originator of the museum of immigration idea, wrote to the New York Times, "Let us retire 'the still shadowy Ellis Island project' into real obscurity and concentrate on the American Museum of Immigration under the full light of the Statue of Liberty." [4]
Behind the scenes, AMI executives Alexander Hamilton and Ulysses S. Grant, III, spoke to Vice President Richard M. Nixon, Under Secretary of the Interior Hatfield Chilson, and NPS Director Conrad Wirth about helping them head off the feared competition at Ellis Island. All agreed to use their influence on behalf of the AMI. Nixon wrote a letter restating his support for their endeavor and offering to become honorary chairman of the Southern California Citizens Committee for the AMI. Chilson informed the GSA that the creation of a national immigration museum at Ellis Island "would be in direct conflict with a program endorsed by President Eisenhower and the Department of the Interior in 1954, to establish the American Museum of Immigration in the base of the Statue of Liberty National Monument, on Liberty Island." In reply, GSA Administrator Franklin G. Floete assured the secretary that "we will not recommend the use of this property as a museum or historical monument without first consulting your Department." Wirth and NPS Regional Director Ronald Lee promised the AMI that they would continue working with the GSA "to the end that a recommendation of abandonment of the Ellis Island project is forwarded to the President."
Not surprisingly, then, the GSA ruled that proposals to use the site for an immigrant shrine were not feasible, and the agency continued to canvass city, state and federal governments for alternative suggestions. When nothing acceptable materialized, the GSA, early in 1958, again put the facility up for sale to commercial buyers. In February 1958, the GSA received 21 sealed offers, but the highest, from a builder named Sol G. Atlas who wanted to construct luxury apartments, a hotel, marina, heliport, and convention hall there, was for only $201,000. The agency rejected this as far too low. Two more attempts to find a private customer produced no satisfactory results. In each round of bidding, Atlas named the top figure, eventually going up to $1.25 million. The GSA considered the sum still way below the actual worth of the property. [5]
Meanwhile, by 1960, public sentiment in favor of saving the island for cultural and/or educational purposes was again building. Even some of the promoters of the American Museum of Immigration were starting to back the idea. In December 1960, Edward Corsi, former commissioner of immigration, and Sylvan Gotshal (both trustees of the AMI), and Oscar Handlin and Allan Nevins (both members of the AMI historians committee) wrote to the New York Times, proposing that Ellis be named a national monument and maintained by the NPS "as a park for educational and recreational purposes. . . ." They reconciled the supposed conflict with the AMI, by suggesting that displays at Ellis serve as an extension of the principal museum at Liberty Island or that the whole project be moved to Ellis, "should it ultimately seem more appropriate and desirable to locate" it there. Not all of the AMI backers agreed. William Baldwin wrote, to Alexander Hamilton and du Pont, expressing his "sense of shock" at the defection.
Nonetheless, this letter to the Times and similar public statements led the GSA to authorize the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to review proposals to make Ellis available to interested parties who wanted to develop educational or cultural programs there. HEW received a number of applications, including one from Ellis Island for Higher Education, Inc., which listed among its members Seymour Harris, chairman of the economics department at Harvard; Clinton Rossiter, professor of government at Cornell; Eric Goldman, Princeton University history professor; and historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. They wished to develop a low-tuition, self-supporting "college of the future." They intended to solicit $6,000,000 from the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations and from the well-to-do children of the immigrants who once passed through the portals of Ellis, to convert the island into a college campus, complete with foot bridge from the New Jersey shore. The various applicants, however, could not raise the money necessary to undertake their proposals or failed to meet other requirements to make them eligible for using the property under the terms of the 1949 Federal Property and Administrative Services Act. [6]
By 1962, legislators in Washington were also trying to answer the question of what to do with Ellis Island. In the 87th Congress, five bills dealing with the subject were introduced: S 2596 (Ellis for Higher Education, Inc.), S 2852 (transfer of the property to the Training School at Vineland, New Jersey), and S 867, S 1118, and S 1198, which in different versions provided for health, education, and housing projects for the elderly. The Senate referred all of these to its Subcommittee on Intergovernmental Relations> chaired by Senator Edmund Muskie (Democrat - Maine). New York's two Republican senators, Jacob Javits and Kenneth Keating, also served on that subcommittee.
In September 1962, the Muskie group held public hearings in Washington. At that time George B. Hartzog, Jr., associate director of the NPS, read a statement to the subcommittee indicating the Service had not changed its earlier position regarding the island:
[It] does not possess the scenic or scientific attributes that would justify Federal operation as a National Park, Monument, or Recreation Area. The historic significance of Ellis Island lies chiefly in its former operation as an immigration station. . . . In this connection, over $400,000 has been donated for the construction of an American Museum of Immigration [at the Statue of Liberty] . . . . [W]e believe there is represented in the Statue of Liberty National Monument and the American Museum of Immigration adequate commemoration of immigration by the United States.
In these circumstances, we believe that Federal operation or development of the island for memorialization or national monument purposes would not be in the public interest.
In December the subcommittee held two more days of hearings at the United States Mission to the United Nations in New York, where many persons presented their views concerning the historic site. Author Pearl Buck "spoke eloquently for its use as a diagnostic center for mentally retarded children." Congressman Emmanuel Celler (Democrat - Brooklyn) and Governor Richard J. Hughes of New Jersey (Democrat) favored establishment of a university on the grounds. Jersey City officials wanted development of Ellis as part of the improvement plans for their city's waterfront. Rabbi Stephen Wise read a statement calling for a "living museum of immigration." At that point, NPS historian Pitkin, who had been requested to attend the hearings by Regional Director Ronald Lee, became alarmed about the old issue of conflict with the American Museum of Immigration. Pitkin and Alexander Hamilton, who was also watching the proceedings, agreed to prepare a package of material to counteract any museum proposal for Ellis. Pitkin gathered the documents, and Hamilton subsequently handed them to a member of the committee staff. [7]
Throughout the remainder of 1962 and the first three-quarters of 1963, the subcommittee reviewed these and other proposals it continued to receive. No consensus, however, was developing around any one of them. Then, on September 4, 1963, Senator Muskie held an executive meeting of the subcommittee in Washington to which he invited the following, among others: Governors Nelson Rockefeller of New York and Richard Hughes of New Jersey, Mayors Thomas Gangemi of Jersey City and Robert Wagner of New York, Senators Jacob Javits and Kenneth Keating of New York and Clifford Case and Harrison Williams of New Jersey, various members of the House of Representatives from New York and New Jersey, Secretary Anthony Celebrezze of HEW, GSA Administrator Bernard Boutin, Housing and Home Finance Administrator Robert Weaver, and Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall. Muskie summarized for the participants what the subcommittee had heard up to that point and asked for their additional thoughts. The representatives from New Jersey spoke further about their plans for developing Liberty State Park on the run-down waterfront of Jersey City. After their presentation, Senator Muskie urged the Department of the Interior "to review the proposal for Ellis Island as a national park, monument, or recreation area in conjunction with the New Jersey shoreline."
One month later, 28 people, representing the Muskie subcommittee, NPS, the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, the GSA, the Housing and Home Finance Agency, the states of New York and New Jersey, and New York and Jersey Cities, met at Federal Hall to deal with the problem. The participants created an Ellis Island study team, designating NPS Regional Director Ronald Lee and BOR Northeast Regional Director John Sullivan to coordinate its efforts. The study team, working with Lee and Sullivan, visited Ellis Island on several occasions. [8] They also met at various times with the concerned New York and New Jersey officials to review technical questions and to discuss their findings and draft proposals. The team finished its work by the spring, forwarding its report to the Senate subcommittee on June 25, 1964. [9]
The conclusions reached in that report turned around the earlier official position of the Department of the Interior and the National Park Service. Echoing those horrified at the thought of selling the site for commercial purposes, the study proclaimed that, "Ellis Island has been as important in fact as Plymouth Rock has become in fancy for the descendants of those who came in the first colonization wave." Contradicting the 1962 statement of George Hartzog, the report noted, "...the story of immigration to America is insufficiently commemorated by the nation in the National Park System. . . ." The team, therefore, recommended that "permanent recognition" of the island's historical importance should have first place in its future use. That could best be achieved by designating Ellis as a national monument within the national park system.
The study team stated further that the NPS should administratively join Ellis to the Statue of Liberty National Monument. "Any other administration. . .could well result in independent and uncoordinated programs for the neighboring properties." Here the report turned to the troublesome issue of the relationship between Ellis as a memorial to immigration and the American Museum of Immigration being built on Liberty Island. The study suggested the former site must be developed in a way that augmented, not duplicated what was done in the AMI. Reassuring the promoters of the AMI that the NPS was "firmly committed to. . .carry out the project as planned and in full," the report continued, "this museum will tell the broad story of immigration. It cannot, however, provide the additional vivid experience gained from a personal visit to Ellis Island and to the landmarks and objects visible there."
The report said that the buildings on the older portion of the island should be retained and opened to the public for interpretive tours. That area could also serve as a gathering place for special groups interested in immigration, ethnic festivals, and other outdoor events. Library and exhibit facilities could be developed to explain the history of the immigration station and "its relationship to the broad story of immigration presented at the Statue of Liberty."
The study group recommended that plans for Ellis should also be closely coordinated with New Jersey's work on Liberty State Park. This might be accomplished by turning the newer sections of the island into a park with "promenades, possibly restaurant facilities, picnic facilities, green open space, and a boat basin." A bridge or causeway might be built between the New Jersey shore and Ellis, to make the recreational and historic features more accessible to residents of the Garden State. The team concluded that Congress ought to authorize an Advisory Commission on Ellis Island and direct the NPS to prepare a master plan to spell out the guidelines mentioned in this study.
On a tour of Ellis Island in October 1964, Secretary Udall told reporters that he endorsed the recommendations of the study team, and the Muskie subcommittee indicated that it, too, was persuaded and would recommend that Congress designate the island an historic monument to be administered by the NPS. [10]

Meanwhile, President Lyndon B. Johnson entered the picture with a characteristic dramatic flair. On May 11, 1965, he issued Proclamation 3656, adding Ellis Island to the Statue of Liberty National Monument. Before members of Congress and the press, assembled in the White House Rose Garden for the ceremony, Johnson said,
Between 1892 and 1920, sixteen million immigrants entered America through the open doors of Ellis Island. These men, women and children from many lands enriched the American melting pot. They made us not merely a nation, but a nation of nations.
So I am signing today a proclamation making Ellis Island a part of Liberty Island National Monument [sic]. In addition, I am asking Congress to enact legislation authorizing appropriations to make Ellis Island a handsome shrine in the broad harbor of the great port of New York.
The President also announced that he was approving the establishment of a Jobs Corps Conservation Center on the New Jersey shore adjacent to the island and that the young recruits would soon be put to work restoring Ellis and helping to create Liberty State Park. Johnson ended his remarks with a plea to Congress to pass his immigration reform bill, aimed at abolishing the discriminatory national origins quota system adopted in 1924.
Since the President's proclamation stated that the Department of the Interior was not to expend any funds given it for the Statue of Liberty on development of Ellis Island, unless authorized to do so by Congress, legislation by the House and Senate became imperative. Shortly thereafter, Congressmen Jonathan Bingham (Democrat - New York), Cornelius E. Gallagher (Democrat - New Jersey), and several others introduced bills in the House, while Senator Clifford Case (Republican - New Jersey) and others sponsored similar measures in the Senate. Finally, passed by Congress and signed by the President on August 17, 1965, as Public Law 89-129, the act authorized an appropriation of no more than $6,000,000 to develop Ellis Island as a part of the Statue of Liberty. Not more than $3,000,000 of that sum was to be appropriated during the first five years. [11]
Ellis Island, then, had been saved from losing its historic associations. It would not, after all, pass into private hands for commercial development of luxury apartments, warehousing, or an oil storage depot. Its future, however, was far from settled. Congress had authorized money, but would it follow this up with actual appropriations? Would the monies, if forthcoming, prove adequate for the tremendous job of preservation and interpretation that lay ahead? Besides that, future planners still had to resolve the whole question of which buildings on the island to preserve, restore, or demolish.

GKN Aerospace (Chalet G1) comes to Farnborough content in having achieved "a good set of results" in 2013 as it increased sales by 10 percent to £7.6 billion (around $10 billion). "It was a good year at GKN pretty much across the board–bar land systems," said Kevin Cummings, CEO of GKN aerospace during a pre-airshow briefing.
UK aerostructures and equipment group GKN Aerospace has been contracted by Snecma to provide low-pressure turbine (LPT) cases for the Silvercrest SC-2C engine for the Cessna Citation Longitude business jet. Under a long-term agreement valued at £10 million ($15.7 million), production of LPT cases by GKN Aerospace-Norway for delivery to Snecma's Villaroche facility will accelerate as the engine is prepared for the Longitude's scheduled entry into service in 2017.
GKN Aerospace is set to create a $1.4 billion engine components business when it completes its acquisition of Volvo Aero, announced last week. The UK-based group is to pay approximately $981 million for Volvo Aero, which already supplies components for all major aircraft engine manufacturers.
Volvo Aero has launched the Volvo Life Tracking System for "accurately calculating usage of critical engine components." The product is designed primarily for Volvo Aero's RM12 engine, which powers the Saab Gripen multi-role fighter.
Volvo Aero and Lufthansa Technik will jointly develop new repair methods for structural parts of large commercial aircraft engines. The two companies will also cooperate in the appropriate certification processes, the repair services and the marketing and sales activities for the business.
Volvo Aero has been working on a new generation of lightweight engine fan frames, and is exhibiting a demonstrator on its stand (Hall 2A Stand B114). The fan frame is the largest the company has produced, and is constructed from composites and titanium. The fan frame is a complex part of the engine in terms of loads, especially as it incorporates the lugs that attach the engine to the airframe.
Brazil's Embraer and Boca Raton, Florida-based Volvo Aero Services have entered a four-year partnership that makes Volvo Aero an official distribution center for Embaer aircraft parts. Included in the initial agreement are about 4,000 part numbers for the EMB 110 Bandeirante, EMB 120 Brasilia and ERJ 145 jet family.
The environment is everything these days for engine manufacturers and suppliers, as initiatives such as the recently launched European Commission Clean Sky program drive ever more advanced ideas on reducing emissions and noise.
Honeywell TFE731 maintenance shops at Harrods Aviation in Farnborough, UK, and Sweden's Volvo Aero have signed a service agreement combining their offerings. The result is a one-stop, heavy maintenance and overhaul team fully supporting the popular turbofan. Honeywell has designated Harrods' engine shop a major service center, while Volvo Aero has offered heavy maintenance on the TFE731 Classic, -20, -40 and -60 variants.
Volvo Aero has delivered a number of post-certification enhancements to the RM12 twin turboshaft engine that powers the Saab Gripen. Some of these have been adopted by General Electric, whose F404 was adapted by Volvo for the single-engine Swedish fighter. The company said further improvements are possible, although its main emphasis is on developing lighter weight components for commercial airliner powerplants.

The Fishwives Choir
Fisherman Colin Dolby died in a freak storm at sea & his body was missing for almost a year. His widow Jane has set up The Fishwives Choir to raise money for other families facing hardship or bereavement.
- About
- Backers (80)
- Comments (10)
- Updates
During peacetime, fishing is the most dangerous job in the UK. Every year, many fishermen are killed, maimed and injured. Just watch the video above to see for yourself the dangers these brave men face every day.
My name is Jane Dolby. Until 4 years ago, my life was completely normal. I was a very ordinary, married mum of 4.
Then, on the morning of November 10, my husband kissed me and the children goodbye and left for a day's work trawling. We never saw him again.
Colin was killed when a freak storm hit the Southend on Sea coast where he was out fishing. His trawler sank and we did not recover his body for almost a year. We had four children. The youngest, our son, was just 3 years old.
We were devastated, not just emotionally but financially too, because without a body there is no official evidence that a person is really dead. This meant I could not prove to the banks, loan companies or anyone else that my husband had actually died.
I had never heard of The Fishermen's Mission Charity when a representative arrived on our doorstep within a few hours of losing Colin. Without the charity's care, love and emotional and financial support, I am not sure the children and I could have survived.
Wanting to give something back the charity that had done so much for us, I formed The Fishwives Choir with the idea that we'd record a song, sell a few copies in the local pub and give the proceeds to charity. The plan was to involve a few women related to the local fishermen I knew.
NEVER in a million years did I expect ladies from fishing regions all over England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales to want to participate. Nor did I ever anticipate the level of newspaper, radio or TV interest in the project.
So, 8 months after the idea was conceived we now have the studio booked to record our single, the profits of which will go the Fishermen's Mission to enable the charity to continue the vital work they do in the UK fishing communities with families facing despair, as we did.
In April, we will meet for the first time to record our single. Ladies related to fishermen, including mums, sisters, aunts, cousins, daughters and even grans, are travelling to East Sussex from all over the UK for 4 days of rehearsals and recording. Many of these ladies have lost men to the sea.
Because the choir has grown in a way that I just could not have anticipated, I have no capacity to cover the costs for recording.
We are fundraising to raise money to pay for a studio, production, distribution costs, CD duplication costs, a musical director's fees, and travel and accommodation contributions for those more vulnerable members unable to fund themselves and travelling from afar. There are also the daily day to day admin/phone costs incurred.
We're hoping for a life beyond the recording of the single, and hope to continue rehearsals and be able to perform at some of the many gigs and performance opportunities we have been offered.
Really, we need a lot more than £2000, but we thought if we asked for too much and didn't hit our targe we'd lose everything, so it is better to ask for less and hope that with your support it may go over our target.
Our choir may have been born of tragedy but we sing with such high hopes.
Thank you for reading this and for your support.
Promised of our £2,000 target
Days left
We'll say thank you publicly on our social networks and give you a download of the single when it's released.994 rewards, 988 remaining
Everyone who is kind enough to donate to us will receive the same rewards, which are a copy of our single when it is released later this year, a signed photograph and our heartfelt thanks, appeciation and gratitude for helping to make this dream a reality. Please feel free to donate more than £10, if you feel strongly about what we're doing.492 rewards, 469 remaining
