After the drink she needs soda
The Navy's first submarine will be submerged again to wash off the sea's corrosion,
Tuesday 02 May 1995
The Holland I was the Royal Navy's first submarine. Compared to today's models, she was extremely basic - a bucket for a toilet, a maximum depth of 60ft and an eight-man crew that lived in extremely cramped conditions. But, according to Commander JJ Tall, director of the Royal Navy Submarine Museum near Portsmouth, where she resides, the Holland I is "the mother of all submarines. The design of the Holland determined the shape of all submarines today, including the mighty Tridents".
Built during the British-German arms race of the early 20th century, the Holland sank on the way to the scrap yard after 10 years' service. She then spent some 70 years corroding at the bottom of the sea before being raised in 1980.
Unfortunately, her initial washdown and lick of anti-corrosion paint failed to stop the rot. To make matters worse, the paint has entombed the chlorides from sea salt (sodium chloride) which corrode the iron body. And it doesn't stop there: the coating also allows water vapour and oxygen in the surrounding air to pass through to the metal and accelerate the process.
"You can compare the ferric chloride to cancer cells," says Mr O'Shea. "As long as the chloride is present, this corrosion will continue rapidly."
The answer is to immerse the whole submarine in a huge tank full of a solution that will rid it of all damaging chlorides. Many chemical solutions will do the trick but the museum chose sodium carbonate - better known as washing soda.
"It's environmentally friendly and can be pumped into the drains when we've finished with it," Mr O'Shea explains. "The water and sodium carbonate solution will be pumped around the tank for two, three, maybe even four years - we don't really know yet. We'll monitor the solution on perhaps a monthly basis. The chloride level will determine the overall period of washing. We haven't got a clue exactly how long it will be, but looking at the amount of corrosion going on, there's an awful lot of salt to come out."
But before the washing can begin, that shroud of paint must be removed. To do this, a new process is being used. It is similar to sand-blasting - firing grains of sand at something to scour its surface. Only the new process uses bits of sponge-like material impregnated with a mild abrasive.
"It wipes off the paint like magic, it doesn't create any of the dust you usually get with grit blasting and there's no health hazard. What's more, it's recyclable. We just hoover the material up and put it back into the machine."
The main danger to the Holland at the moment is the corrosion of the rivets that hold it together. If they were to vanish, the craft's iron plating - no matter how healthy - would fall off. Certain rivets look metallic but there is no iron in them at all, just various oxides of iron. There are even globules of hydrochloric acid where the chlorides from the sea salt have reacted with the hydrogen in water.
Despite the Third Sea Lord of 1900 declaring submarines "underhand, underwater and damned un-English", Britain soon had one of the best fleets in the world. It seems ironic that, with the Holland I at least, the Royal Navy's battle is no longer with any foreign enemy but with the ravages of time and tide.

Craft beer boom emerges as threat to wine sales
Send this to a friend
- Chris Rauber
- Reporter- San Francisco Business Times

Is the craft beer industry's rapid growth a threat to Bay Area and other winemakers?
"From a a shelf space perspective, we need to hold our ground," Danny Brager, senior vice president of Nielsen's beverage alcohol practice area, said during a recent presentation on U.S. consumer wine trends, according to a report in Wines & Vines, a wine industry publication.
Brager said craft beer sales are up nearly 23 percent in volume and more than 20 percent in value nationally, Wines & Vines reported, but in hipster cities like San Francisco and Portland, craft brews have been growing at a 30 percent clip.
He made the comments at a recent Wine Market Council presentation, Wines & Vines reported. Nielsen is part of the global Nielsen Holdings conglomerate.
Overall, however, beer has been slipping in recent years compared to spirits and wine, which have gained popularity as Americans' favored alcoholic beverage.
It's the craft in craft beer — plus, one would think, its "cool" factor — that's giving it more oomph in the market.
Chris covers health care, insurance, nonprofits and the wine industry.

Nathan Horton has been a hero in Boston since his first of three game-winning goals in the playoffs during the spring's Stanley Cup run, but a new season has bought a new batch of frustrations for the B's first-line right wing.
Horton was undoubtedly the goat Tuesday night as the Bruins fell, 4-1, to the Hurricanes at TD Garden (recap). On a night in which he gave every effort to ignite both his own play and the spirits of the team, Horton ended up dooming the Bruins with an ill-advised stunt against Tim Gleason, who had been frustrating the Bruins all night with his unwillingness to dance despite his frequent participation in scraps.
With the Bruins coming off a goal from Rich Peverley to make it 2-1 in the third period, Horton responded to some stick work from Gleason by challenging the Carolina defenseman with whom he has a history (the two dropped the gloves back in 2007 when Horton was with the Panthers) to fight. Gleason clearly declined, keeping his gloves on, at which point Horton began throwing heavy punches at Gleason, even after he was down on the ice. For as good a job at Gleason did at getting under the Bruins' skin, he ended up taking his share of a fight he didn't want, while Horton simply took to the Bruins dressing room having been handed a double-minor for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct.
The play left the Bruins trying to find their way back into the game while shorthanded with 8:30 remaining. The wheels came off from there, as Zdeno Chara (high-sticking) and Dennis Seidenberg (boarding) took minor penalties in the next 40 seconds, leading to 5-on-3 goals from Eric Staal and Tuomo Ruutu.
Horton wasn't the only one to have a frustrating night, but there was no single play as costly as Horton's with the B's trying to mount a comeback. Some will write off Horton's actions as simply passionate, saying that emotions got the best of him. While the latter is obviously true, Horton's play was not an example of "passion." You may not find a more passionate player in the league than Patrice Bergeron, and aside from a freakout last spring that ended up being because a guy bit him, Bergeron has never come close to the line that Horton crossed on Tuesday.
What likely makes the night even more frustrating for Horton is that it came when it seemed he and his line were turning things around. Horton picked up his first two points of the season in the previous two games, including the game-tying goal against the Blackhawks Saturday night in Chicago. With Tyler Seguin playing well and centering the line, things were looking up for the top line, but it was among those broken up by coach Claude Julien in the third period Tuesday due to poor performance. Milan Lucic, who would have an early exit minutes after Horton, was taken off the first line, with Benoit Pouliot being promoted. The line wouldn't last 12 minutes before Horton's exit and all the shorthanded time made it impossible to tell what the lines would be had there been enough time at even strength.
A season ago, Horton was the Bruins' leading scorer through six games with an impressive nine points (5 G, 4 A). It's been a very different start to Horton's second year in Boston, and it cost the Bruins on Tuesday.
Tuesday night saw two fights go down (Chara vs. Harrison and Chris Kelly vs. Brett Sutter), with a couple more that came close to unfolding. One potential fight that the crowd clearly wanted was a goalie fight between Cam Ward and Tuuka Rask. When Ward got in Chara's face following the Boston captain's fight with Harrison, Rask skated the length of the ice to chat with Ward. After a few words, it was clear that Ward wasn't interested, and Rask was assessed a minor penalty for crossing the red line.
"I was asking him why he was jumping our guys," Rask said. "It was a mistake probably on my part. I didn't know you couldn't cross the red line."
Rask has never fought at any level, but he was clearly willing to Tuesday in what would have been the Bruins' first goalie fight since Tim Thomas was dropped by Carey Price in a comically short bout last season.
"I guess you have to be, right?" Rask said of his willingness to fight. "I'm not much of a fighter, but if that's what the situation needs, then I guess you have to do that. It didn't happen today, so I guess that's good for everybody."
Rask is not accustomed to throwing fists, though he became an internet sensation in the AHL for his infamous milk-crate-throwing incident in 2009 with the Providence Bruins.

That we live in an age of miracles has become common knowledge. A man may sit on a beach near Sydney, with nothing but the bucket bottom of the universe over his head, and still carry on a casual conversation with an Eskimo near the North Pole. Using an Internet-based phone service, he may do so at negligible cost. If this were not miracle enough, he may now grow himself a new nose, if he needs one, on his own arm.
In this age of miracles, people seem ready to believe that anything is possible. Recklessly crossing the street at the end of the Late Bubble Epoque, the world economy got hit by a cross-town bus. Now, the feds propose to reverse and run over the poor fellow again. It will be as if they had reversed the film; the economy will be as good as new, they say.
But we are suspicious. And we begin today's rumination by examining the bus driver's motives.
In its naked form, government is not evil; it is merely a self-interested parasite, like a bank lobbyist. Its main value comes from its ability to elbow out other parasites. Of course, the typical citizen is no saint either. Instead, he is merely a parasite in the larval stage. If he is lucky enough or cunning enough, he could grow into a parasite himself. The citizen, generally, doesn't mind being lied to and robbed – just so long it is by someone he elected. Or at least by someone whom tradition or local connivance put in place. He does not usually resent his homegrown government, even though it routinely costs him a substantial part of his output. On the contrary, he grows so fond of it he even dons his helmet from time to time to protect it. Naturally, the feds return the favor.
The basic business model of government is to keep order, protect campaign contributors and lure supporters with the promise of other peoples' money. The game plan of the typical citizen is even simpler: to be on the receiving end, not the paying end. Over time, more and more of them get into position. And the whole society becomes more costly, and more corrupt.
In the United States, entire industries now operate as wards of the state. They may have too little capital. Or, their operations may be too costly. Or, their products may be simply out-of-date and unattractive. Still, government keeps them going – even at the cost of at the expense of competitors. And the money doesn't only go to business. Cities stay solvent only by the grace of federal government grants. Whole sections of the population depend on government – including 34 million who draw their rations directly from the federal food stamp program. The spectacle is breathtaking and alarming at the same time – like a Pakistani bus on a mountain road, freighted with passengers clinging to the roof. The old rust bucket could tip over at any time, but what politician would tell a voter to get off?
That preface on the state out of the way, we turn to the state of the economy. The key to understanding the great credit bubble of 1945-2007 is to capture the codependent relationship between China and the United States of America. It seemed to serve both parties well. Each enabled each other's excess. China added mightily to the world's supply – far more than was actually needed. America, meanwhile, did heroic work on the demand side. While the growth in the United States was led by consumer spending, the growth in China was led by capital investment; factories expanded, towns were built, and output was revved up. But there was a flaw. Americans ran out of money. After the '70s, they could only increase their buying by going into debt. This they did with insouciance bordering on insanity. Total debt rose 370% of GDP and then blew up in 2007, with major lenders forced into bankruptcy and mergers, while GDP sank at its fastest pace since the end of WWII.
Now, the old formula no longer works – neither for Americans nor for the Chinese. Despite the urging of their government, Americans cannot be expected to take on more debt in order to consume more stuff from China. As savings rates grow toward 10%, demand from the United States will collapse by an estimated $1 trillion per year. With the China trade now accounting for 83% of America's non-oil trade deficit, you'd think the Chinese would panic. They already have as much as two times the output capacity needed to meet real demand. They should trim their manufacturing sector, not expand it.
We draw out that relationship only to show how hopeless it would be to draw it out further. Borrowing to consume is merely tricking stuff from the future to enjoy in the present. By 2007, some $30 trillion worth of spending that would have occurred 'in the future' had already occurred in the past. Factories that would have produced consumer items for 2009 discovered that they had already produced more than enough of them in 2005 and 2006.
It would be better to invite the future in…let her collect her debts…and then get on with things. Yet government officials on both sides of the Pacific continue their numbskull efforts to revive the bubble economy. On the US side, the feds are trying to stimulate demand for more stuff. On the far side, Chinese stimulation is going into producing more stuff. As if the world didn't have too much stuff already.
But the role of government is neither prosperity nor plausibility…but protection of the pests and parasites. They will keep paying them off and carrying them along…until the bus runs off the road.
But it's not prosperity that government really cares about. The big bus keeps trundling along – picking up pests and parasites along the way. It will keep going until it runs off the road.
Enjoy your weekend,
Bill BonnerThe Daily Reckoning
Since founding Agora Inc. in 1979, Bill Bonner has found success in numerous industries. His unique writing style, philanthropic undertakings and preservationist activities have been recognized by some of America's most respected authorities. With his friend and colleague Addison Wiggin, he co-founded The Daily Reckoning in 1999, and together they co-wrote the New York Times best-selling books Financial Reckoning Day and Empire of Debt. His other works include Mobs, Messiahs and Markets (with Lila Rajiva), Dice Have No Memory, and most recently, Hormegeddon: How Too Much of a Good Thing Leads to Disaster. His most recent project is The Bill Bonner Letter.
And up we go as the rally continues. Home sales up again. Manufacturing up. Just about all quarterly reports have beat. Yet the pessimism continues.
Bernanke announced that the world was brought back from the brink with swift monetary decisions. Yes, they did "save the world" and I'm enjoying every uptick along the way!
Hate to admit it Bill but I have to agree with everything you are saying. Wasn't it Kunstler that predicted big government would squander the remaining wealth of empire trying to sustain the unsustainable?
Oil is up again today. It will continue to do as it has throughout this decade, and that is to act like a brake, on any economic growth.
I don't know what will happen in the future, but Bill and others who follow history can and do see the warning signs for a collapse of our once mighty empire. History would show us, if we would just look, that all empires have managed to save themselves temporarily just before the big crash. My fear is that smarter parasites in D.C. are going to take many lives around the globe before they let go of their power and the many privileges they have accumulated for themselves.
how is that possible you can easily see and have clarity of what is, yet overwhelming majority of professional analysts are blind…
do they fear to tell the truth which might be in opposition to gov truth?
Bill has no more clarity than any other analysts. Actually, he's been quite wrong over the past few months. Yes, some day it will come crashing down but whether that's 100 years or 500 years isn't known. I know I'll die some day but I don't just sit around and wait for it, I live and make money while living. Get it?
All governments tend to be self-perpetuating and self-serving i.e. to maintain the status quo at all costs. It's not in their self-interest to fix the system as long as they are beneficiaries. For parallel behavior look at the Roman Empire circa A.D. 400. Notice how the Congressional parasites are cancelling Town Hall meetings as the sheeple become fed up with their excesses. They have forgoten one essential fact, they work for us not the other way around. Expect some big changes come mid term elections.
It could be argued that only the invention of the printing press has freed people to educate themselves and bring us to where we are today… 560 years later.
That said, we are smarter in many ways but still reliant on major media and gov't for information.
Our only hope is that, like the printing press, the internet can educate us to get to the next level. And while it will not take 560 years to fix this economic mess born of greed, it will take more time than most of us have left. And too, I wonder if it even can be fixed.
One of the most sad but true tales i have ever read. i think of the one million plus good men and women in uniform that have given their lives for this country to keep it free and safe-it took a long time, 233 years, but it seems it was all for nothing. My son was a US ARMY Airborne Ranger with the 101st WIA Aug 26th 2006 Paralized from the shoulders down, what must he think when he watches FOX news, and sees our "elected" representatives running this country into the gound? My mom was a lady ahead of her time a true southern lady. She told me 30 years ago "Arthur, the South will rise again" how she could see where this country was going back then was truly remarkable, and truer words have never been spoken. it does my heart good to see the town hall meetings where the true patriots and citizens are standing up for our rights. maybe there is hope – only God knows. God Bless America
Country Gent, I'm sorry to hear about your sons paralysis. Tell him I said thank you for his efforts to keep our country free. I hope that the loss of his body only makes his mind stronger and more determined to continue to fight to keep this country free. Regretfully, we are not on that track, we can use his help to right this as he still has a voice to raise his concerns.
Harry, a favorite quote of John Maynard Keynes was, "In the long run, we are all dead." This childish insolence was—and still is—looked upon as great wisdom.
But today is the tomorrow that Keynes and his early followers never had to see. We are paying a dear price for the folly of those who believed—and still believe—that an economy can be managed.
One truth is inevitable: all fiat currencies—and all empires built upon them—eventually end. We can't change that.
But we can influence how the empire ends. It can end just awkwardly—or it can implode magnificently. It's up to us.
Dear Bill,
You make economics so fun by the way you write…"And we begin today's ruminations by examining the bus driver's motives" – hilarious! And "the Pakistani bus on a mountain road" – living in Asia I can easily see the graphic picture you are painting. Thanks for taking the effort to bring economics to life for us all.
"As savings rates grow toward 10%, demand from the United States will collapse by an estimated $1 trillion per year."
That statement isn't true though it sounds quite logical, plausible and reasonable. Think about it hard and you'll find out why it is not true by yourself.
Also don't be fixated too much on China. China plays a role only since the eighties.
God luck Harry
Blind Freddie can see the games up.
You may well make money out of the current rally and so are many other wise guys. Check out the performance of a random selection of managed funds. You will find that most of the managers weren't feeling too clever earlier in the year.
Economists are entirely useless, narcissistic and grossly overpaid.
They are wrong as often as right.
Bernanke – one of the better known currently – was wrong all the way into the current mess and is almost certainly wrong wrt the future.
Wrong Bernanke?—keynesian economics was to manipulate economics for the government. He is doing the best he can. Government will do every thing imaginable to keep the bus afloat so they can rob citizens another day.
The government stimulus is your stimulus spending. So there will be no recovery as long as Uncle Sam things he is in charge of the recovery.
I for one will rebell.
The whole thing is going to crash, brought on by exporting our factories and jobs, by fighting endless unwinable wars, by unchecked population growth, by developing and ruining our agricultural land, by not keeping corporations from getting too big and monopolistic, and by not taxing the wealthy enough. To blame the liberals and the government is foolish.
Harry – or any other Bernake acolyte
If you're still there I would be interested to get your analysis of the endgame.
Do you think Bernanke et al have it right or wrong?
There is no doubt they have achieved a stay of execution and permitted many to profit from what I believe is a dead cat bounce.
But what next?
I would like some supporter of the current rescue policy to offer an analysis predicated upon fundamentals.
To me it looks very bad
I very much hope the outcome is positive – as does the recipient of palliative chemotherapy.
comes the revolution?
Our economic "system" has been "….between the rock and a hard wall" since 1991 (and the terrible decisions made by the government to "save" the banks then.
"….we're gonna' pay dearly" for those mistakes.
(Where oh, where can I get a supercomputer like GS has?)
I can dell you this , 'Government effort never reach to streets'.
Experienced through Our Japanese lost decades.
I said never.
We did not start trade with China in 1945, but in the '80's, under Nixon. Another, equally valid way of looking at things is that there was a struggle between the people and special interests to allocate the benefits of modern invention – special interests won, have taken over government, and are willing to throw this country under the bus to maintain their position.
One small fix they should try is closing the immigration door once unemployment in this country reaches 9%. Take care of the people here, not new ones trying to get in!!! And get rid of the ones here illegally (like someones' Aunt)……..

All paper currency has a shelf life. It could be 5 years or 500 years, but at some point, the value of any paper currency eventually reaches zero.

Bad things have a funny way of happening in October. Remember October 1929? It raised the curtain on the Great Depression. Or maybe you recall the infamous Black Monday crash in 1987.

RIPON - The Ripon City Council is faced with even more drastic cuts when members will mull over the first draft of the city's budget for the next fiscal year at their 7 p.m. Tuesday night meeting devoted to budget study.
The odds are if you called 9-1-1 to summon the Manteca Fire Department in 2009 it wasn't due to fire but a medical emergency.
Angie Ramey didn't waste any time in mobilizing her troops to take to the Tidewater Bikeway in an effort to clean up the garbage left behind by the inconsiderate people who use one of Manteca's crown jewels.

They came by the thousands – as far south as Merced, west to Orinda, Plymouth to the east, and Sonora and Jackson in the foothills. These are the students – 2,250 of them – who converged at the Dell'Osso Family Farm at River Islands in Lathrop for the 2014 Manteca Pumpkin Fair Special Access Day.

Steve Martin on Earl Scruggs; Merle Haggard Hospitalized; Taylor Swift Lands Vogue Cover
- Steve Martin wrote a fine piece on Earl Scruggs for the New Yorker. An excerpt: The banjo lends itself to showing off: it's often played fast and thrillingly, fingers flying up and down the neck, the right hand connecting to the left with seemingly impossible accuracy. But Earl always remembered his mother's advice when he was a boy: "Play something that has a tune to it." His first and last priority was to make music, which keeps his sound melodic and accessible. Yet, even professional players today say, "How did he do that?" It is not easy to make the melody note land in the right place when rolling three fingers over five strings, but Earl could syncopate, "bend" a string—which caused one note to move unbroken into another—and he could audibly retune the banjo in the middle of a song, leading to the invention of a mechanical device called "Scruggs' pegs." Earl knew when and how to surprise the heck out of the listener.

- Taylor Swift is Vogue's newest cover girl. Here's an excerpt from the article: "[F]or a certain audience, her music and her look are stuck in teenage gear. Which is why it comes as a nice surprise to discover just how sharp she is. She is clever and funny and occasionally downright bawdy as we ride around town with a small entourage on this hot fall day, visiting designer showrooms. Indeed, one of the first things she mentions is the infamous honey-badger clip on YouTube that features a deadpan obscenity-laced narration. Swift knows every line—though she asks if her cursing can be off the record. She may be edgier than her image suggests, but she is not Courtney Love. She has a deeply ingrained sense of appropriateness. She also knows her audience—and knows that they aren't ready for her to grow up quite yet."
- The trial began in Garth Brooks' lawsuit against an Oklahoma hospital. Brooks alleges that he donated money with the understanding that one of the hospital's new buildings would be named after his late mother.

I'm not sure how the hospital thinks a donation from Garth is 'anonymous and unconditional' when in their filing they admit to pursuing him for almost 2 years.
Thanks for the link to the Squidbillies album tracks. Its good to hear some newer material from Unknown Hinson (ie "Early"). My favorite is "Burned", which without the squid specific references would have fit nicely on one of Unknown's earlier albums. I'm just glad to know he's making some honest money off of that cartoon so he can cover his rent in the trailer park! (lol)
I have to say I like the guitar playing on the Alabama Shakes song "Hold On" a whole lot better than the vocals. The female lead vocalist sounded better when she was doing her Janis Joplin impersonation…
Wow, does anhyone else find the Goerge Jones vocal shocking (and, not in a good way)?! I mean, I know he's 80…but his voice is totally shot. Quite different than the last time I heard him…
After listening to the Alabama Shakes "Hold On" I can't wait for their debut.

WASHINGTON — A bipartisan compromise on student loans promises better deals for students and parents over the next few years but could spell higher rates as the economy improves.
The Senate deal pegs the interest rates on new loans to the financial markets and was expected to come to a vote next week, well before students returning to campus this fall had to sign their loan agreements.
Under the deal, undergraduates this fall could borrow at a 3.9 percent interest rate. Graduate students would have access to loans at 5.4 percent, and parents would be able to borrow at 6.4 percent. Those rates would climb as the economy improves and it becomes more expensive for the government to borrow money.
The compromise heads off the doubling of rates on some students loans, which would cost students an extra $2,600.
"We have gone through weeks of negotiations and we have an agreement," said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney said President Barack Obama was "glad to see that a compromise seems to be coming together."
And Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., said students benefited: "For every one of them, the interest rates on their loans will be lower."
At least for now. The compromise could be a good deal for students through the 2015 academic year, but then interest rates are expected to climb above where they were when students left campus in the spring.
Even in announcing the compromise, it was clear the negotiations were dicey.
"While this is not the agreement any of us would have written, and many of us would like to have seen something quite different, I believe that we have come a very long way on reaching common ground," Durbin told reporters.
Moments later, Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee, said he would revisit the whole agreement this fall, when his panel takes up a rewrite of the Higher Education Act.
"Can we change it? Sure, we can change it," Harkin said. "It's not the Ten Commandments, for God's sake."
Harkin did little to hide his unhappiness with the compromise but said there were few options to avoid a costly hike on students returning to campus this fall.
As part of the compromise, Democrats won a protection for students that capped rates at a maximum 8.25 percent for undergraduates. Graduate students would not pay rates higher than 9.5 percent, and parents' rates would top out at 10.5 percent.
Using Congressional Budget Office estimates, rates would not reach those limits in the next 10 years.
Lawmakers engaged in near-constant work to undo a rate hike that took hold for subsidized Stafford loans on July 1. Rates for new subsidized Stafford loans doubled from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent.
On Wednesday, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau estimated outstanding student debt at $1.2 trillion — up 20 percent in just two years. Student loans are now the largest form of consumer debt behind mortgages.
The rapid growth in debt is raising alarm among experts, and there is growing evidence student debt is weighing down the economy — for instance, by delaying the ability of young graduates to buy homes.
The increase follows the jump in the cost of higher education.
The tuition sticker price at public four-year colleges is up 27 percent beyond overall inflation over the last five years, according to the latest figures from the College Board. This past year it rose nearly 5 percent to an average of $8,655 nationwide.

Burt's Bees
For-Profit Business of the Year
Green Awards
Send this to a friend
- Staff Triangle Business Journal
LOCATION: Durham.
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION: Burt's Bees has been offering natural personal care products for over 25 years. The company, based in Durham, grew from beginnings in a beekeeper's backyard in Maine to one of the leading natural health and beauty care brand in the U.S. with sales in 24 markets globally. Named the No. 1 Green Brand in the 2010 ImagePower Green Brands Survey.
NUMBER OF FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES IN THE TRIANGLE: 360 (Administrative offices in Downtown Durham – 150; Manufacturing and Distribution in RTP – 210).
TOP TRIANGLE EXECUTIVE AND TITLE: John Replogle, President & CEO.
Describe some of the organization's/ your chief achievements in the Green Awards category for which you were nominated?
Burt's Bees is making significant progress toward its 2020 sustainability goals, which guide waste, water and energy use, along with green facilities and employee engagement. This year, the company has achieved zero waste to landfill at all three of its North Carolina facilities – one of the first companies in the state to do so. Zero waste to Landfill is a significant milestone toward "zero waste" altogether by 2020.
An important component of actualizing the company's 2020 sustainability goals is employees – all of whose incentive compensation is based in part on an overall sustainability score. With the launch of "Live the Greater Good," a non-optional education and outreach program – all employees are given the tools and time during the workday to learn about integrating environmental stewardship, social consciousness, natural wellness and world-class leadership into their personal and professional lives.
Have sustainable efforts produced financial benefits. Can you quantify the gains or costs? Please be specific.
In operations, we have made progress through a combination of low/no cost opportunities and capital investments with relatively good payback periods (max at 5-7 years). When sustainability is inherent to your organization, the company is in some cases more attractive to talent and also able to retain employees via a rich and meaningful culture, which certainly has a financial benefit. Additionally, as a consumer packaged goods manufacturer, we receive a substantial return on investment, albeit difficult to quantify, by providing a value-added product that consumers can feel good about purchasing. Ultimately, we receive many "soft" financial returns in a different currency, like PR impressions and purchase intent.
How could you afford to embark on green programs in a down economy?
For Burt's Bees, it's just the cost of doing business. Our sustainability programs are embedded in our 25-year heritage as an earth-friendly company. They are part of our operating model, our everyday culture and ultimately, all our bonuses depend in part on achieving progress toward our 2020 sustainability goals. It would've been much harder to just begin a sustainability journey in a down economy, but setting long term goals and embedding sustainability into your organization keeps you from turning away from those practices when business is tough.
Ultimately, we can't afford not be green – as a values-led company, our commitment to sustainability is part of our brand promise; it's part of why a consumer will choose a Burt's Bees product over another. And in times of economic downturn, many of us also take the time to re-evaluate our lifestyles overall, which makes this an exciting time in many ways because of the possibility of fundamental change in how we do business and how we live our lives.
What are your plans for expanding such programs in the coming year?
We will continue to progress towards our 2020 goals, with a new Live the Greater Good program this year and continued efforts to reduce water, waste and energy. We will install utility monitoring systems in all three buildings to better understand our water and energy use – and find further savings opportunities. We are also exploring on-site renewable energy options. We have many projects under way to further enrich our social and environmental responsibility across our supply chain.

Freedom of the Seas Cruise Review by dakacz: Great family vacation

Great family vacation
We flew into Orlando Sat and stayed at the Hampton Inn and took AAA access shuttle to the ship. Got to ship around 1PM. As diamond members embarkation was smooth and quick.
Our grandchildren boy age 6 and girl age 11 truly enjoyed their 1st cruise experience. Went to 2 Character breakfast as the 6 yr old loved the characters. They both had a great time at the kids clubs and the pool. Also had a great time at the adventure water park. The entertainment was good especially the ice show.
Cabin service and wait staff friendly and efficient. Many activities.
Food was good in dining room. Windjammer was good for breakfast, ok for lunch. Tended to get crowded. I wish they had a place on the ship where they served fresh grilled hamburgers and hot dogs.
The ship is beautiful and well maintained.
This ship was a great choice for a family vacation as there was something for everyone and the kids had a blast. Less

Brynn Anderson, Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — A nondescript building on a quiet street somewhere outside Philadelphia holds a secret stash of treasures that have been waiting patiently for more than a century for a permanent place to call home.
Carefully stacked on shelves, hanging on walls and spread out on tables in a large climate-controlled room are thousands of artifacts from the Revolutionary War. They will remain under wraps in their anonymous location until late 2015, when The Museum of the American Revolution opens in Philadelphia's historic district.
"We're still finding things," curator R. Scott Stephenson said during a recent behind-the-scenes tour of the Colonial-era cache.
He recently discovered, as one example, five law books among the hundreds of storage boxes inscribed with the owner's name: Patrick Henry. More digging unearthed estate and auction records verifying the books belonged to the Founding Father known for his "give me liberty or give me death" speech, and not someone with the same name.
"It's not just inventorying; some of it literally is you find a piece and 6 months later, a year later, you find something else," Stephenson said, "and you triangulate and boom — it's one plus one equals seven."
The collection was started by the Rev. W. Herbert Burk, an Episcopal minister and George Washington enthusiast who founded the Valley Forge Historical Society in the early 1900s. That group is the predecessor of the American Revolution Center, a nonprofit and non-partisan group working to raise $150 million to build the 110,000-square-foot museum.
The Oneida Indian Nation on Wednesday announced a $10 million gift to the museum in honor of Oneidas who fought alongside the Continental Army against British forces. The donation comes in response to a challenge from Philadelphia media magnate and American Revolution Center chairman H.F. "Gerry" Lenfest, who last month said if the museum can raise $40 million he will match it.
Among the roughly 3,000 artifacts waiting in the wings include all manner of muskets and rifles, textiles, cups and canteens, art, books, periodicals and manuscripts.
The item that started the whole collection will be a highlight of the museum: Gen. George Washington's sleeping and office tent. The 20-foot-long canvas marquee — a little like an outdoor Oval Office — was purchased in 1909 from Mary Custis Lee, Martha Washington's great-great-granddaughter.
"The objects are the witnesses, the touchstones for stories about extraordinary people and circumstances that can be incredibly powerful," Stephenson said. "There's plenty of drama, plenty of things that resonate in our own lives, plenty of aspects that are completely foreign to the way we think or what we've experienced."
Experts are currently developing how the exhibits will look. The idea is to make the Revolutionary period real and relatable to visitors, "not just looking at a bunch of, you know, old brown things on a wall," Stephenson said.
"Although I do love those old brown things, absolutely," he said with a laugh. "But you can't just do a beautiful building and decorate it with objects. The era in which you could line up a bunch of tea cups on a shelf is just not with us anymore."
After a contentious plan was nixed to build the museum at Valley Forge, about 20 miles outside Philadelphia, the American Revolution Center and the National Park Service made a land swap that kept Valley Forge National Park as-is and brought the museum to Philadelphia. Its future home located steps from the National Constitution Center, the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and Carpenter's Hall should benefit all the institutions through program collaborations and artifact exchanges, Stephenson said.
Gordon Wood, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and scholar of the American Revolution, said while Valley Forge is of especially keen interest to military buffs, the Revolution "infused into our culture everything we believe in: liberty, equality, constitutionalism, all our noblest ideals."
"It should be in Philadelphia because that's really where it all began," Wood said. "It's going to be more than the military history, that's a limited view of the Revolution and it has to be seen in its broadest context."

Katherine Heigl admitted on Monday that – at times — she regrets having left "Grey's Anatomy."
"Oh yeah, sometimes," she said on Monday's "The View," when Barbara Walters asked the "One for the Money" actress if she was sorry she left the ABC drama.
"You miss it — I miss it," Katherine continued as she cuddled daughter Naleigh, who earlier ran up on stage and decided to join her mom's interview. "I miss my friends. It was a great work environment in that we all got along really well, and it becomes a family. I spent six years with these people every day… We grew up in a way."
Katherine said she has not been asked back yet to play Dr. Izzie Stevens, a role she left in 2010, but she would be willing to rejoin the fold.
"I think that for me, it's sort of… I want them to know that I'm down with it if they want me to, but I completely understand if it doesn't necessarily work into [the story]," she said. "They've got a lot of storylines going on there."
The actress had a headline-raising run during her time on "Grey's," including in 2008, when she withdrew her name from Emmy contention, telling the Los Angeles Times' Gold Derby at the time, "I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention."
She also told USA Today in 2010, after she left "Grey's," that she had started to dislike her character before her departure.
"I felt very protective of Izzie. I really loved her," Katherine told the paper in June 2010. "I felt she was an admirable woman who certainly made mistakes. But I was starting to not like her, and that bothered me."

This doesn't even look like L.L. Lips look wrong and she looks more "beefy" than Lohan's very thin silhouette. Are you sure you have it right? Or could this be an attempt to kick her when she is perceived to be down?

I didn't think it looked like her either. Probably some photographer posing his girl friend and saying it's her to make a bundle. web sites like this will buy any picture and post it without any prrof.

I've got a beautiful daughter almost the exact same age who's a model with two business degrees and has made something of herself without all that celebrity BS self-gratification. I grew up in Studio City where kid friends burned out from TV and movie gigs and died young, and I can't feel a stitch of empathy for the litte hoe. Remember Whitey from Leave it to Beaver, his name was Stan Fafarra, he was a best friend and he was a junkie by 17, got shipped to England and died. Ho-hum. Lindsey should go to Mexico, get kidnapped and put to work in a narcotrafficante hoe-house for a while. At least she'd do somebody some good.
- Thursday 25 MarchBy artsavant
Odd that OfAlaska doesn't know how to spell his best friend's last name:
it's "Fafara," not "Fafarra." Ho-hum.

Lindsay Lohan? Who's that??? OOOh, She used to be in movies right?
Who cares, she's destroyed her career and apparently a good portion of her life, the only thing she's good for now is maybe as the poster child for anti-drug and alcohol programs in schools. I don't know why anyone still gives her air time or media space anymore.

I have to agree, me. While L.L. and Brittany etc. have had their shocking moments, to be sure, some of the ever-present paparazzi have been pretty shocking too.
