Olympic Games Sailing. Keen to be there? Latest news
by Mark Angell on 22 Apr 2011
Latest aerial pictures of the first venue for the 2012 London Olympic games to be finished, The Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy. Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy
London 2012 Olympic Games Sailing. Are you thinking of attending the Sailing events at Weymouth? If so, read on as Rodd Carr explains ....
It is certainly not first come, first served in UK. There are only five days of the application process left.
In all there will be 26 sports, 34 competition venues, 645 sessions, and two-thirds of tickets which are priced £50 or less with an additional 2.5 million tickets at £20 or less.
Will people with boats, RIBs, be able to anchor off Weymouth to get a sneaky free view of the sailing?
In general terms no. Only visitors with pre-booked berths/anchoring spots will be able to use the Harbour(s).
RIBs etc coming to the venue from seaward will be turned away unless they have a pre-booked place. If you do have the necessary permissions you'll only get a view of the Weymouth Bay West or Portland Harbour courses. If you do not have a pre-booked anchoring spot you will have to keep moving and won't be able to linger in the dark blue areas on the chart to watch the racing.
Will people be able to launch their boats in Weymouth and Portland?
Not unless they have a pre-assigned spot/berth.
How far off Weymouth will the clear zone be?
The area is defined by an exclusion zone, between Portland and Weymouth all the way to east to Lulworth Cove and then four miles offshore. Through this there has been a passageway created for regular users of Weymouth and Portland Harbour. The harbour won't be closed off, but you won't be able to dawdle.
Is this going to be heavily policed?
Yes! There is no chance of any boat slipping under 'the radar'.
What are the best viewing areas for ticket holders?
Probably the middle of the Nothe gardens spectator area, however this is all dependent upon how the course is orientated and that is determined by the wind direction.
Planning permission has not yet been granted for the ticketed area at Nothe Gardens by Weymouth and Portland Council for the Olympic sailing. When will this be approved?
Following consultation with local residents and businesses in March, we will be submitting a planning application to Weymouth and Portland Borough Council at the end of April. We would expect a decision in July.
All of the planning is so up in the air how can you guarantee the spectator area when planning has not been finalized?
We can't …..that's the democratic process in the UK which even as Olympic organizers we have to stick to.
What happens if people buy tickets and the permission is not granted?
If we happen to get to that point then of course people will get their money back, however with all the planning and effort that has gone in, it would be a great shame for that to happen.
What will you get for your ticket in the spectator area?
An unrivalled view of the North course area that qualification races and all medal races will take place. A distant view of the other course areas. A large screen with information from the races, along with a commentary of what's going on in front of you and food/drinks, toilet facilities and a safe no traffic environment!
Will there be other screens and viewing areas in Weymouth?
There may be another screen but this may not be sailing specific.
What has LOCOG done to help Weymouth cope with the mass influx of people for the Olympics?
A comprehensive traffic management system will be put in place aimed at keeping traffic moving and ensuring pedestrian safety as well as protecting local people and businesses from casual parking. A key element of the system will be a substantial temporary park and ride scheme, provision for accessible transport, extra buses and trains, secure cycle parking and other transport facilities.
Will racing so close to the shore not ruin the conditions for the sailors?
We are determined to provide a spectator experience for the Nothe Course area. From time to time the extremities of the laylines may be compromised by being close the land. This is already accepted practice in Match Racing and 49ers. On the other course areas the race course footprint, will not be affected by land.
How will Weymouth be different to any other Olympic venue?
The Olympic spectator area will be unique to Weymouth and London 2012, offering unrivalled views of qualification and all medal races from a purpose laid out spectator

If the tramadol was taken early in the day and vicodin later...
Can you mix Vicodin and Tramadol?
Added 19 Mar 2010:
Im treating a bulging disc in my back and basically want to stop taking vicodin. I do not want to become dependent more so than i already am and am really struggling to stop taking them. Will switching to Tramadol help ease withdrawal symptoms? Still work for the pain. I feel the pain is getting better from doing my daily stretches, now just dealing with aches from the medicine.

TO: ds365247
You can mix them, for instance if the tram is not getting it done for pain and you need the vicodin for break through pain to stop or slow down the pain cycle. They should work together fine and may even be a synergist to each other. There is alot of diff info out on trams and they are unique to other common pain meds because they also have an SNRI effect. I worry about people liking the "HIGH" than any problem with medicine interaction between the two. Beaware large doses of tramadol may cause siezures. Hope this helps.

Maternity Leave
Alison Checks In One Week After Isaac's Arrival
Isaac Stewart Wolff turns one!
One week old, that is......
What a difference a week makes. This morning my son and I ( so funny to write that) went to the pediatrician, where he was described as "one of the strongest infants" the doctor has ever seen.
Regular readers know about 11 days ago I had a really tough time with the first two trips to the hospital, but the third was the charm. We were given the superstar treatment — literally, since we were assigned the same fancy labor room as used by Gwyneth Paltrow, Michael J. Fox/Tracey Pollan and Bowie and Iman — and after 11 hours of labor and one C section, 8 pounds and 6 ounces of cuteness came into the world.
As I've blogged, Ike was over a week late but we think we know why. In my family a lot of us were born on holidays. My birthday is July 4th, my sister is New Years Day, my niece July 4th, my paternal grandfather Halloween, my maternal grandfather New Years Day, my paternal grandmother was born on the first day of summer and my mother is Thanksgiving (11/25).
So we think he was holding out for a holiday and don't you know...his cumplea� is Cinco de Mayo.
More maternity leave blog posts on the way...but right now....a dirty diaper needs changing.....

I'm happy for you that he didn't wait for Memorial Day
Awww, he's so cute! Congrats Alison!
And I know what you mean by holidays--- we are either born on or around holidays in my family too! My dad is Christmas Day, my mother's is/is around Mother's day, my brother's Flag Day, and mine is the day after Valentine's. Easy to remember!
Congrats! Can't wait to hear more of your mommy adventures!
Congratulations on a healthy baby boy! I like the name Ike. Did you name him after Eisenhower?
What a cutie! And as a West Coaster who's never liked the Lakers, I was glad to hear Daddy say Isaac's not a big fan of them either. :) Looking forward to more mommy dispatches...(as long as I don't have to call you a mommyblogger). ;)
He's definitely a handsome fellow. Well worth waiting for. And now we can celebrate his birthday with margaritas every year.
So when is Isaac going to start twittering?
Congratulations Alison!
Yay! Beautiful baby!! Congratulations!!!
@Natasha: "and mine is the day after Valentine's"
Me, too. When my wife and I were trying to schedule our first real date (at TGI Fridays) she suggested the 15th. I told her I was busy that day, but perhaps the day before. It never occurred to me it was Valentine's day. We went and had a great time. I even remarked how nice it was, although a bit sexist, that the servers were handing out red carnations only to the women.
I MISS YOU ALISON...congrats on the kid. You and Rachel would round off the end of my insomniac nights in Portland.
No big thing I sleep here and there but nothing big. I had my first dream in 2 years last week. I am rambling...Enjoy your maternity and come back soon because I cant stand mike pesky, he is very smart, he knows it, he isnt very funny and he doesnt know it, a dangerous combination when mixed with a night of no sleep.

Inviting highly respected designers from different disciplines to apply their uniquely visionary talents to the field of fireplace design has resulted in a series of designs that form a stunning collection. Working with iconic designers such as Barbara Hulanicki, Jasper Conran and Jane Churchill along side the contemporary talent of Tom Faulkner and award winning New York designer Alexa Hampton ™.
Combining Azul Valverde stone with brushed and blackened steel elements, the design of the Glasgow surround bears a strong similarity to the work of the visionary architect Sir John Soane.
Fabricated in Petit Granit limestone with strong fossil markings and decorated with brushed steel mouldings, The Griffin is a contemporary design of great elegance.
The Pittsburgh has a deliberately industrial look combining a simple limestone frame with riveted brushed steel panels.
The Ealing is carved in Carrara marble with blackened steel accents.
The Belvedere is a handsome Statuary marble mantel incorporating strong classical influences. The pilasters have tapering panels decorated with a repeating intricately carved motif terminating beneath robust corbels. The frieze has plain recessed panels...
The Carlton is a mantel of simple construction in Statuary marble enriched by a series of finely carved mouldings to both the pilasters and frieze.
The Lincoln is a Statuary marble mantel of classical proportions featuring engaged reeded Doric columns, a running stepped frieze and a generous mantel shelf.
This mantel is a contemporary re-working of a classic Art Deco style featuring a striking combination of limestone with inset panels of Etruscan Gold marble.
The Hulanicki Art Nouveau is carved in Statuary marble to allow the carver to work in the material best suited to capture in crisp detail the sinuous floral carving that characterises this delicate mantel.
The Coral was inspired by a coral pattern from fabric weavers in Northern India. Bianco Avorio limestone with rough texture and beautiful fossils is the perfect material for translating this inspiration into sculptural form. Also available in optional...
The Ebury is a refined and understated design displaying delicately executed acorn and oak leaf carving in the finest statuary marble.
The Faulkner mantel is carved in limestone with the distinctive sweeping design in the pilasters reflected in the accompanying Faulkner polished steel fire dogs.
The Veneto re-works a classic Regency design in a truly original manner with a traditional frame fabricated in Light Emperador marble and comprising plain panels ornamented with repeating convex orbs and diamond shapes in contrasting Portuguese stone...
The Cosmopolitan pays homage to the work of Sir John Soane with its modern rendition of inversely tapering pilasters and guilloche ornamented corner blocks combining to create a mantel of an entirely contemporary nature.
The Loire takes as its inspiration a design from the Louis VXI period featuring console jambs and a running fielded frieze and employs the device of simplified detail throughout and oversized decorative corner blocks as a means of establishing it in a...

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries.

I had an android app built especially for medium screen size android devices. Now it was required to build that same app for a device called nook-color (by Barnes & Noble)
So for this we made all the images bigger & size & changed the layouts. The result is that the apk which was 97.5 Mb earlier has now become 124 Mb in size.
Now the testers have complained that the application has become slower and it takes a little longer for any screen to open up. I am wondering whether this is due to bigger images or there is something else. Can you please tell me what could be the reason for this.

Chevrolet Spark Road Test
Urban, suburban, youth, or youthful
When the Chevrolet Spark was introduced in 2012, it was evident in the motorcycle-inspired, touch-screen focused, Wi-Fi-enabled, candy-store-colored mini car that a younger urban buyer was the goal. Also obvious was the lack of focus on driving fun or fuel efficiency. After all, this Korean-built subcompact wasn't really meant to be sold in the U.S. and when it arrived here, it was already dated. It never scored high enough to be recommended by Consumer Reports.
First impressions of our newly purchased--and redesigned for this year--2016 Spark, suggest that the urban can also be suburban, and the young can include the young at heart. The Spark's appeal now extends beyond its low price and surface cheerfulness.
The notable technologies in the new Spark aren't the superficial things that Chevrolet touts: Wi-Fi and the Chevrolet MyLink enabled 7-inch touch screen that is compatible with cell phones via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Those are just the price of entry for any new car these days.
Instead, it is the more-mature engineering found beneath the newly creased exterior in the suspension, engine, and transmission that is the real story which makes the new Spark feel almost grown-up.
This mini-car has really had a redesign. The combination of a slightly longer wheelbase and aerodynamically-driven lower and wider stance, are just part of the secret sauce that makes this new Spark so much more sophisticated.
Gone are the pastel colors of the prior iteration of the Spark. For 2016, Denim is replaced by the richer Splash and Ice Blue. Lemonade went by the wayside. The Consumer Reports Spark is Kalamata, a deep jewel-tone purple that replaces the sickly pale Grape Ice.
Our 2013 Spark returned a disappointing 32 mpg overall. The 2016 is estimated to get a more remarkable 41 mpg highway and 30 mpg city. After pushing the Spark around Connecticut country roads and four-lane routes, keeping an eye on the trip computer's average fuel economy, we saw a range of 36 to 40 mpg. We'll have to wait until our official measurements for a final verdict here.
Getting in the 2016 Spark, there's no doubt it is a narrow car. The very nature of the narrow beam means that the seats tend to be on the shrunken side of comfortable, so don't expect a full-size seat bottom. Even the footwell is on the tighter side with a foot rest that is so far back that learning to be cozy is a skill.
The tapered seating is topped by a relatively impressive head room. Even the backseat has a surprising amount of space, although two adults would need to be really good friends to share it because there is only one cupholder. Back seats folded down, the cargo space turns into a space worthy of the finest weekend antique store finds headed home to an empty nest.
The interior environment is also a more cultivated whole than the curated collection of motorsports-inspired and aspirational techie-inspired elements in the previous Spark. The instrument cluster is simple and the climate controls are straightforward. Easy-to-use buttons are back for both climate and the volume control for 2016. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are just as easy as setting up a Bluetooth connection has always been in Chevrolets; that is to say, unchallenging. Wi-Fi hotspot access, SiriusXM Radio, and OnStar services are all offered for a post-trial period subscription.
The Spark may be a little car, but it is big on being able to dart around. There is a little hesitation off the line, but the four-cylinder mill gathers power quickly and keeps it. The improved continuously variable transmission mostly mimics a regular transmission by making simulated shifts, cutting down on the droning sound that afflicts many cars equipped with CVTs.
The ride is a little stiff-legged, as would be expected with such a tiny wheelbase and small tires. When zipping along, it has the kind of handling where you don't have to slow down too much or too often to tackle curving roads. Quick to turn in and with low body roll, a little more feedback through the steering would level-up the sporty factor even more. That said, it doesn't rival the Ford Fiesta, our benchmark for subcompact handling.
Who'd have thought that adding just 14 horsepower would make such a difference, but the new 1.4-liter small-displacement Ecotec engine boosts the 2016 Spark by 16 percent more horses to a still-modest 98. It's changes like those that make the Spark more appreciated as the dame of the country road than also-ran of the urban runabouts.
Clearly, efforts were made to raise the bar for the 2016 Spark. Overall, the 2016 is possibly more fit than the Fit and makes the Smart and Mitsubishi Mirage seem like klutzes.
What the 2016 Spark needs now that it is grown up are actual grown ups to enjoy it-something we intend to do as break-in miles continue, leading to a full road test in the weeks ahead.
All cars come with basic warranty coverage, also known as a bumper-to-bumper warranty. This protects consumers against unexpected problems with non-wear items. Powertrain warranty protects against engine and transmission troubles. Rust through, or corrosion warranty, covers rust to non-damaged components. Roadside aid provides on-location assistance in case of a breakdown and may include limited towing services.
Extended warranties provide peace of mind. Owners of models known to have worse-than-average predicted reliability can mitigate risks with an extended warranty. Generally, we recommend buying a model with better-than-average reliability and skipping this expensive add on. If you do buy an extended warranty, it is key to read the small print to understand what is covered and where you can bring the car for repairs.

Product Description
From Amazon
Women of Faith Study Bible offers a feminine perspective on an age-old text. In numerous places, the editors insert interpretations that celebrate and elevate women's status in the Bible. "Some have said that in times when men are spiritually weak God uses women instead," the editors write in the Book of Samuel. "It is probably more accurate to say the deeds and faith of women are simply more apparent in those times. For the Lord gives gifts and callings to all people."
In the opening pages readers will find a "Weekly Studies Index" that references the Old and New Testaments with metaphorical themes such as "Uncharted Waters," "Are You a Bush or a Tree?" and "Jars of Clay." It also offers almost 80 full-page "Character Sketches" that profile women from the Bible, such as "Eve, Mother of Discontent," "Jezebel--Bent on Evil," and "Noah's Wife: Along for the Ride or a Partner in Adventure?" (The latter sketch tries to imagine the thoughts and actions of this almost invisible wife: "Perhaps she resented all the extra work Noah's obsession caused.") Other features include a timeline of women in the Bible, a genealogy of Jesus, and a dictionary of biblical terms.
One disappointment is the thin paper stock, limiting its shelf life and making it fragile for a daily reader. Fortunately, the 13-page spread of full-color maps is printed on heavy stock paper. --Gail Hudson

A previous reviewer mentioned purple leather. I'd love to get one of those, Amazon!!! I, too, love purple. The one I bought is great, though, and as it was a bit shelf-worn, I asked for and was given a discount.
1)even-handed notation. It struck me how culturally sensitive the notes were, which helped me think back to those times 1000s of years ago. These opened my eyes to embrace many issues.
2)no glib/rote responses to complex life issues. The other bibles attempted to do that, and while such notation may offer comfort to some, they don't work well for me. For example, I don't want a short paragraph to understand that our Lord wants me to be patient in my marriage. This bible does not offer patronizing and "Precious Moments"-type cutsey notes. Subjects like patience for marriage are supported throughout the bible via different wife stories, and are delved upon in the notations, which I much rather preferred.
3)sober looks at women in the bible, from the famous, like Mary, to the not so famous like Jael. Also, the explanations of the women in Jesus' line are equally even-handed.
All in all, its the best women's themed study bible that I have come across yet. It is spiritually, emotionally and mentally inspiring.
Note of criticism: the concordance/topical index is sparse for a study bible, especially since the notations throughout are so good and thoughtful.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A lawyer says the drywall in nine Alabama homes will be replaced as part of a settlement with a Chinese drywall company whose product is blamed for damaging appliances and causing health problems.
Attorney Brian Collins said Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin Co. has agreed to pay for the repairs of more than 200 homes across the southeast.
It's part of a trial program that could be used for other plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
The drywall was imported into the United States during a housing boom and for the rebuilding effort after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
It's believed to be tainted with sulfuric compounds that corrode metal.
More than 3,000 plaintiffs joined a lawsuit in New Orleans alleging damage from the drywall.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recommended that
affected homes be gutted.

USS Ingraham (FFG-61), the last American Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided missile frigate to be built, was the fourth ship of the United States Navy to be named for Captain Duncan Ingraham (1802–1891).
Built in Los Angeles, California[edit]
Ingraham was laid down on 30 March 1987 at the Todd Pacific Shipyards, Los Angeles Division, San Pedro, California. She was launched on 25 June 1988; sponsored by Mrs. Linda E. Carlson, wife of Vice Admiral Dudley L. Carlson, Chief of Naval Personnel; and commissioned on 5 August 1989, Commander Charles S. Vogan Jr., in command. Ingraham was decommissioned on 30 January 2015.[1]
Prior to decommissioning, Ingraham was commanded by Commander Dan Straub, USN. Ingraham's former homeport is at NS Everett, Washington, and was assigned to Destroyer Squadron 9.[2][3]
Service History[edit]
Operation Fiery Vigil[edit]
Mount Pinatubo, a volcano located on Luzon in the Philippines, erupted on 12 June 1991. The mountain's fury blackened the skies across Angeles City and much of Luzon for nearly 36 hours. Typhoon Yunya added to the devastation when it slammed inland with fierce winds and rain. The rain eventually cleared the atmosphere of most of the choking and blinding ash, but the disaster deposited a heavy eight-inch coating of grey ash over much of the area around Naval Station (NS) Subic Bay and Naval Air Station (NAS) Cubi Point. Sailors observed that the residue gave the landscape the appearance of dry cement. The ash crushed many lightweight structures, and a chalky film covered the bay, which presented the appearance of a translucent shade of green. The disaster cut electricity and water to the base for two days, and only heavy trucks could grind their way through the morass to reach victims. Rescue workers also contended with earthquake aftershocks. The volcanic eruption and the typhoon killed more than 300 people and displaced more than 300,000 victims.[1]
Aircraft carriers Abraham Lincoln and Midway, together with Ingraham and ships from Amphibious Readiness Group Alpha, led by amphibious assault ship Peleliu, participated in Operation Fiery Vigil, the evacuation of those displaced by the disaster. Abraham Lincoln transported 4,323 people, primarily USN and USAF dependents, from Subic Bay, Cubi Point, and Clark Air Base to Cebu City, Cebu, for further evacuation to Guam and the continental U.S.[1]
Abraham Lincoln sailed more than 1,800 nautical miles (2,100 mi; 3,300 km) through inshore waters during Fiery Vigil. This voyage required careful attention to detail from her Navigation Department because of the myriad of other vessels, treacherous shoals, and currents. The carrier also supported Lake Champlain while the guided missile cruiser evacuated a further 844 people and their pets during three trips in and out of the disaster area. Lake Champlain's historian noted that the devastation and the suffering of the victims "overwhelmed" her crewmen. Additional squadrons that assisted humanitarian efforts included Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 94, Composite Squadron (VC) 5, and Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light (HSL) 47.[1]
Thousands of Filipino looters magnified the tragedy when they climbed over the gates and ransacked abandoned homes. The mob overwhelmed military policemen by sheer numbers and determination. In many instances, the looters wiped out treasured mementoes of families.[1]
January 2008 Iranian incident[edit]
Sailors on board guided missile destroyer Hopper reported seeing IT2 Menelek Brown of the ships company at 0430 on 3 January 2008, but Menelek failed to muster at 0730 that morning, while the ship was carrying out maritime security operations in the Arabian Sea. Crewmembers unsuccessfully searched the destroyer for their shipmate, and Hopper sounded "man overboard." At 1505 the ship commenced a coordinated search of the surrounding area with guided missile cruiser Port Royal and Ingraham. A Lockheed P-3C Orion assisted the ships as they conducted an "expanding square" search from the position 18°26′21″N 63°53′35″E / 18.43917°N 63.89306°E, but they ended their search the following day without finding Brown.[1]
On 6 January 2008, Hopper, Port Royal, and Ingraham were entering the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz when five Iranian motor boats approached them at high speed and in a reportedly threatening manner. The American ships had been in the Arabian Sea searching for a sailor who had been missing for one day. The U.S. Navy reported that the Iranian boats made "threatening" moves toward the U.S. vessels, coming as close as 200 yards (180 m). The U.S. Navy ships received a radio transmission saying, "I am coming to you. You will explode after few minutes." While the American ships prepared to open fire, the Iranians abruptly turned away, the U.S. Navy officials said. Before leaving, the Iranians dropped white boxes into the water in front of the American ships. The American ships did not investigate the boxes. Officials from the two countries differed on their assessments of the severity of the incident. The Iranians claimed that they were conducting normal maneuvers, whereas American officials claimed that an imminent danger to American naval vessels existed.[4]
September 2009 Samoa earthquake and tsunami[edit]
On 29 September 2009, Ingraham was en route to American Samoa and was the first U.S. military asset to arrive and assist in the recovery efforts following the earthquake and tsunami.[5][6]
After returning from her final deployment in October 2014, Ingraham was ceremoniously decommissioned on 12 November 2014 at Naval Station Everett. Ingraham was officially decommissioned on 30 January 2015 at NS Everett, and is berthed at the Naval Sea Systems Command (NavSea) Inactive Ships On-site Maintenance Office at Naval Shipyard Bremerton, pending her disposal.[1]

Much of Tulsa's revitalization has been centered on the redevelopment of the city's treasured architectural gems from the early twentieth century. Thanks to the leadership of developers willing to take risks on what have oftentimes been dilapidated, long-unused structures, buildings such as the Atlas Life and the historic Mayo Hotel, among others, have been turned into key areas of activity and commerce for the city. This walking tour will explore the redevelopment of Tulsa's East End Village, the core Central Business District and the Atlas Life Building, and the Mayo Hotel, finishing with impressive views from the Mayo's rooftop bar.
Tour stops:
Hodges Bend

In the past, a college degree was the path to stability. Today, traditional models of education can't keep up. Not only are the newly graduated unable for find work in their fields, but they are also saddled with debt for degrees that do not meet the skills requirements of new jobs. Those already in the workforce feel the pressure from these new trends, and are seeking ways to keep up.
The recent economic recovery has delivered some jarring results:
The skills gap is increasing
Technology is replacing workers and putting a downward pressure on wages
Job security is low
These results are due to changes in the economy, and changes in what employers are looking for.
A solution for what has become a nationwide challenge is already in motion. College students have responded by increasingly taking on part-time jobs and internships. Established professionals are seeking management or other types of credentialing at growing rates. Also, the increase in apprenticeships in manufacturing and the trades continues to climb. Integrating learning into working is becoming the norm. And it is a model that can deliver big results in local and regional economies, by creating a workforce that is engaged, prepared, and motivated.
The Working-Learning Model provides a framework to build a systematic culture of upskilling and improvement in your communities' workforces. Economic developers already support this culture in many ways—from hosting programs such as career fairs to provide general knowledge, to administering apprenticeship programs. These activities fit into a continuum that builds on each step to ensure a strong ladder for workers to ascend to the next step of their career—and for companies to find the talent they need.
Join us for this training, which will further explain the concept of working learners, and give you the tools to strengthen the ladder of success in your community.

Built in the 1920s and 1930s during the oil boom, much of Tulsa is characterized by its historic architecture and Art Deco buildings. While the downtown has "good bones", continuous efforts are needed to rebuild and revitalize the urban core. Since 2008, downtown Tulsa has been home to a resurgence of development, with over $1 billion in public and private investments announced, under-construction, or completed. Development was spurred by major public investment projects – the BOK Center and ONEOK Field – and has been further fostered by a growing number of investors and developers committed to rebuilding Tulsa's urban core. Experience the change first hand and see the city as the perfect balance between the old and the new. The bus tour stops will include the BOK Center, ONEOK Field, Guthrie Green, and Glacier Chocolate.

The tide has turned in the United States and it is ushering in a revitalization in American manufacturing. From reshoring companies to "Made in America" initiatives, there is an excitement about helping American manufacturers succeed during this new dawn of economic opportunity. As key connectors within their communities, economic developers have a role to play in helping these manufacturers succeed.
This session will feature a keynote speaker from WalMart who will discuss the company's "Made in America" initiative. By 2023, WalMart has pledged to purchase approximately $250 billion in products that support the creation of American jobs. After the keynote speech, the audience will hear from a three person panel on what it means to make and sell goods in the United States. The panel will consist of a manufacturer that is supplying goods to WalMart, an economic developer that is helping manufacturers in her community connect with WalMart, and the audience will hear more details of the "Made in America" initiative from the WalMart representative.

Corporate headquarters can bring a number of benefits to your community -- white collar jobs, a buzz of capital and commerce, and a bit of prestige. But their requirements are multilayered and communities can struggle with meeting their demands. This session will look at the many factors that corporate executives consider when making corporate headquarters location decisions, and how cities large and small can compete.
What you will learn:
Trends in the factors that matter most when making a headquarters location decision
How company culture plays a role in location decisions
Strategies to align workforce development to company needs
Moderator: Allison J.H. Thompson, CEcD, EDFP, Director of Economic Development and Tourism, City of Cedar Hill, Cedar Hill, TX

The way that the business location community uses data has changed significantly over the past decade. Choosing the right location for a site requires copious amounts of information that comes from public and private databases, consumer trends, and on-the-ground sources. But data is not always accurate and well-suited communities can be overlooked.
EDRP's new research aligns the needs of business location consultants with the ability of EDOs to present and influence data. Sponsored in part by the Site Selectors Guild, the research is based on two surveys; one administered to the demand side (the site selector community) and one taken by the economic development community. Together, they surveys show what location siting needs are, why they are not being met, and what EDOs can do to get on the radar.
This session will feature representatives of the Site Selectors Guild, who were integral in the development of this research, as well as members of the Industrial Asset Management Council, who also assisted with the research.

Efficient intermodal systems to move goods from one location to the next are essential to building and maintaining strong economies. Economic developers with an established intermodal cluster in their communities, and those looking to develop them, should be aware of the trends impacting this industry -- trends including consumers' affinity for e-commerce, the role of technology in the transportation and logistics industry, and the needs of companies that are reshoring jobs from overseas. This session will delve into intermodal trends and how efficient transportation paves the way for economic development opportunities.
What you will learn:
Trends in trade and intermodal transportation
Changes in the job market based on the evolving nature of logistics
Strategies for involving economic developers in the conversation about transportation infrastructure

The Tulsa Port of Catoosa is the biggest in Oklahoma, and the furthest inland, ice-free port in the United States. In 2014 alone, barges moving in and out of the port brought in nearly 2.5 million tons of cargo to the region. A product of federal infrastructure funding and visionary community planning, the Port of Catoosa stands as a significant asset to northeast Oklahoma by providing existing and potential new businesses with significantly lower transportation costs, and serving as a major employment base for the region. The bus tour will kick off from Port headquarters and include a full tour of the Port's assets and industry located at the Port.

"It seemed like a good idea at the time," must be some of the most often uttered famous last words out there. I must admit that these two old guys look like they're a blast to hang out with, no pun intended. I just hope that I'm as carefree (but not as careless) when I hit their age.
Life at work can be difficult enough without having to deal with a coworker who isn't pulling his weight. This person can do a lot of damage to workplace morale, not to mention the team's overall success. You don't have to just suffer in silence, though. There are ways you can deal with a lazy co-worker, and none of them involve you running screaming from the building.
