LONG BEACH - As a charter school with the freedom to decide how it uses state funding, Emerson Parkside Academy in East Long Beach has been able to avoid some of the budget cuts that have plagued other schools.
But when parents learned that Emerson would be losing its science and physical education programs next year due to funding cuts, they decided to take action.
"We're starting to feel the brunt of what everyone else has (borne) over the last few years, but we're not going down without a fight," said Michelle Worden, whose three children attend Emerson.
Concerned parents banded together to form the "Bridge the Gap" campaign to save P.E. and science. They hope to raise $100,000 by June 15, which would allow the school to keep the programs for another year. So far, they've raised $25,000 and hope to generate more money with fundraisers this weekend.
Worden, who helped spearhead Bridge the Gap, said parents have been offering up their talents to raise funds in a major grass-roots effort.
"We have a dad who surfs and he offered to give surf lessons to help fund Emerson," she said. "A mom who's an artist offered to sell some of her art pieces. One mom even offered harp lessons."
Emerson, a K-5 school of more than 600 students at 2625 Josie Ave., is under the umbrella of the Long Beach Unified School District and uses the same curriculum. But as an independently-run charter school, Emerson has greater flexibiliy with its state funding. The flexibility has allowed Emerson to have a full-time physical education teacher and a designated science teacher, which many elementary schools don't have.
The LBUSD has laid off more than 1,000 employees in recent years, but Emerson avoided cuts up until last year, when it laid off a librarian, Worden said. Parents now volunteer in the library.
For next fall, the school has proposed laying off its science teacher, P.E. teacher and a counselor to save funds.
Worden said the layoffs would mean the loss of excellent P.E. and science programs that help make Emerson a top-performing school.
Emerson boasts an Academic Performance Index score of 886, well above the state target of 800. In March, the school was one of three Long Beach elementary schools to be recognized as a California Distinguished School.
"We have a great system in place and we don't want to lose it," Worden said.
Parents are now in "emergency mode" to raise the $100,000 that would allow the school to keep the three employees on staff for the 2012-13 school year, Worden said.
For now, parents are hoping their efforts will pay off. On Saturday, Emerson will hold its annual Wild West Carnival between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Carnival ride tickets and food will be available.
On Sunday, Cindy Emami, a parent of Emerson students and a certified Zumba instructor, will be holding a Zumbathon from 9 to 11 a.m. The price is $20 for adults and $15 per child younger than 18.
Both events are supported by the Bridging The Gap campaign.
Readers wanting to donate can make checks payable to the Long Beach Education Foundation with Emerson written in the memo and send it to Long Beach Education Foundation, 1515 Hughes Way, Long Beach Ca. 90810 or paid online at http://tinyurl.com/89kjvo7.
Emerson is also accepting corporate sponsors to help fund the school's programs for next year. Those interested can contact Michelle Worden via email at golf firstname.lastname@example.com.

Best Of :: People & Places
The corner of Kirby and Westheimer has always seemed undeveloped, but that's about to change big-time. Gone are the Shell station and, more sadly, Jalapeño's Restaurant. So should we expect yet another dull strip mall, maybe livened up with a few allegedly classy architectural touches? Not this time. If the artist's renderings that line the protective fences around the site are to be believed (and if you can't trust an artist's rendering, what can you trust?), this is going to be one hell of an addition to the area. Apartments will be built over two floors of retail shops, restaurants and bars in what looks like an eminently walkable couple of blocks. We don't want to think just right now about what traffic will look like when this and several nearby projects are finished; right now we're just happy we're not getting another strip mall.
For a short while, this unhinged woman was a savior to our bummed-out, cynical nation. Iraq, the U.S. Attorneys scandal, dead Anna Nicole — it was too much bleakness for us to handle. But then God, who obviously wants to produce movies for the Lifetime Network, sent us Lisa Nowak. By driving from Houston to Orlando to beat up the woman she suspected of diddling her ex, Nowak delivered just what we needed. For a week, late-night talk-show hosts had material they would sacrifice their firstborns for. Headline writers were absolutely giddy. Unfortunately, this astro-nut's star burned too brightly too quickly, and the nation moved on. But for a while she was the opiate to our masses. Generations from now, troubadours will sing, "Where have you gone, Lisa Nowak? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you." We guarantee it.
Scott Ballard has worked on design projects as far away as Kuala Lumpur, but some of his coolest work is right here in Houston, where the architect lives inside the Loop in one of his own hip designs. Sleek and oh-so-modern, the homes he creates are fine enough to impress the most discriminating tastes and funky enough to amuse and bemuse anyone who loves interesting houses. His kitchens are user-friendly, with lots of nooks and crannies for kids and busy families to store stuff, but they feel spacious and airy at the same time. And his great rooms soar with high ceilings and loads of lofty, lovely light. Occasionally, he'll put a secret lookout right on top of your roof, where you can climb with the closest members of your entourage to sip wine while you gaze at the gleaming skyline.
Okay, so they were six months behind schedule, but it was worth it. No mere eye patch here. Developer Charlie Givens and partners have taken the city's premier Warwick Hotel and turned it into a mega-star. The grand opening on June 1 was so over-the-top, they had a live mermaid atop the entrance to wave in the bold names. (How she got up there is anybody's guess, but a ladder or crane must have been involved.) The Monarch restaurant is finally open and offering superb high-end comfort food; the rooftop pool sports shiny retro cabanas; and the rooms are right out of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, or maybe Captain Nemo's private quarters. Retro rock and roll never looked so hot.
We are lucky enough to know of Woodlawn's superiority over most local cemeteries not because we were clients, but because of a high school assignment to collect a "romantic" gravestone rubbing. The assignment wasn't easy. We went to the oldest cemetery, where stones — if they said anything at all — said stuff like, "Died valiantly, fighting women's right to vote." No luck. We went to ethnic cemeteries, where people left shrines with food and cigs (both presumed to be contributing factors to the deaths). Nada. Finally, we hit pay dirt (sorry) with Woodlawn, where there are inscribed poems and pictures — laser cut onto the stones, no less! — and even a few bronze monuments to what might be the greatest love of all: a boy and his guitar. Rock on, Woodlawn!!
The foundation supports the Children's Assessment Center, which provides medical, psychological, forensic and therapeutic services to aid in the healing of sexually abused children and the prosecution of their attackers. Charity Navigator has bestowed its highest (four-star) rating on CACF, stating that 89.2 percent of the funds go toward program expenses, with 10.7 percent for administrative and fund-raising costs combined. Support from the foundation has allowed the CAC to win state and national awards for its mission to help heal these most tragic of victims. If you're looking for a worthy cause, we strongly suggest you check out the foundation — it may be the most rewarding thing you've done in a long time.

How to Watch Smash with Your Lady
At first, Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan — a 73-song "box set" of Bob Dylan covers benefitting Amnesty International — seems gluttonous and wildly impractical. Take disc two, which includes Jack's Mannequin, Miley Cyrus, Billy Bragg, Lenny Kravitz, Sugarland, and Steve Earle. Nobody has taste that eclectic. In fact, getting straight through any of the four discs makes Lou Reed and Metallca's Lulu seem like an easy listen. But Chimes of Freedom is also kind of brilliant, not just as a testament to the breadth of Dylan's influence and the elastic and timeless nature of his songs, but also as a wink and a nod to the state of the modern music business. The producers know very few people are going to invest the time and money on the whole thing. Yes, even for charity. Therefore, this is less a "box set" than an oversized menu of à la carte options designed to be sampled, grazed, and cherry-picked. And there is, indeed, plenty to like, from Patti Smith to My Morning Jacket, from Kris Kristofferson to the Gaslight Anthem. Building your own, $15 CD's worth of satisfying tunes is easy.
Where to start? Somehow, I keep coming back to the aforementioned second disc for its opening track, which finds Queens of the Stone Age revving up Bringing It All Back Home's "Outlaw Blues" into something exponentially louder, faster, and greasier than its already substantial blueprint. The underexposed Dylan-as-a-bluesman theory is more practical than academic: He's written some lowdown, seedy blues tunes, not all of which had "blues" in the title (though many did). The typically great Taj Mahal offers up a typically hamfisted acknowledgement of Dylan's blues on Chimes of Freedom, but by playing it raw, like a bar band protected from projectiles only by chicken wire, Queens of the Stone Age deliver all the blues this set needs (and then some). In the Queens' hands, "Outlaw Blues" falls somewhere between the Yardbirds' "Train Kept A-Rollin" and the Doors' "Roadhouse Blues" in tone and pacing. It's something of a revelation, and sounds great at high volume. Like Chimes of Freedom itself, it's far too much and worth all the effort.
Because though Dylan wrote this for Johnny Cash, only Nick Cave could make Johnny Cash sound like a wuss. The menace with which he spit-coats each syllable is outright terrifying.

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protects data in three key ways:
What is 128-bit encryption?
There are two types of encryption: High and Standard. The difference between these types of encryption is the strength of capability. A High (128-bit) encryption is exponentially more powerful than a Standard (40 or 56-bit) encryption.

Instant petrified wood reported in BBC Online News, 25 Jan 2005 and news@nature 28 Jan 2005. Petrified wood is commonly believed to have been formed when trees were buried in mud without oxygen and, they slowly absorb minerals from the mud which turns the wood to stone over the following millions of years. A team of scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are developing a method of making petrified wood in a few days. They have turned pieces of pine and poplar wood to stone by first soaking them in acid and then in a silica solution. They placed them in a furnace filled with argon (i.e. no oxygen) and heated them to 1,400 degrees Celsius. After two hours at this temperature they let them cool and the wood was as hard as stone. The hardness comes from the silicon which has combined with carbon in the cellulose of the wood to form silicon carbide, a ceramic. The news@nature article is entitled "Furnace Creates Instant Fossils".
Editorial Comment: These experiments confirm that time does not petrify buried creatures. To clarify something that many find confusing, please note: fossils are buried things which have been preserved. They can be preserved or fossilised without being petrified, e.g. Mammoths in ice or the shape of a shell as a cavity only. Making fossils petrify or turn to stone, depends on physical and chemical process, i.e. what minerals and gases are present (or not), how much heat and pressure there is. The conditions described above may seem unnatural in the world today, but during and after Noah's flood there were cataclysmic upheavals, both when the fountains of the great deep broke open at the start of the flood, and after the flood as newly formed continents stabilised over the following centuries. (Genesis 7:11) Huge volcanoes would have buried masses of sediment deeply, so that anything contained in it, such as ripped up trees, would be buried in a hot, oxygen depleted environment which potentially could have resulted in preservation of carbon rich materials as well as petrification (Ref. petrification, fossilisation, catastrophism)

What you are describing is illegal no matter how bad of people they are.
I usually don't post much but for curiosity sake I was wondering what ways could be used to gather information for the situation below.
I got a call from "Windows Tech Support" which I obviously know is a scam of them getting you to download some "remote control" software which gives them access to your computer and at that time they lock your keyboard mouse and ask for money or they start deleting files. I played with them for a bit socially on the phone to see exactly what they were trying to do and then after phoned the local law enforcement to let them know what is happening. They knew what was happening and said these people use pre-paid phones and are not possible to track.
This got me thinking because since they get you to install remote software onto your machine and they make the secure connection you should be able to netstat to find out their ip (or could they be doing that through tor/etc?). Next I was thinking is it possible to setup a reverse shell on them? When they connect to your machine (dumby virtual pc) with the remote software what could you do?
Now I know I am not skilled enough to perform something like this but I am interested in if its possible.
don't worry about me I am msfconsole retarded
What you are describing is illegal no matter how bad of people they are.
I can see how reverse shell would be illegal but how is getting a location by ip illegal?
don't worry about me I am msfconsole retarded

Since getting a job and having two minor surgeries, I've found that while I don't normally splurge on things for myself in my day-to-day life, I go BANANAS with my debit card when I'm in pain.
Last month, after a routine (well, every 5 years) IUD reinsertion, I splurged on both of Lime Crime's Velvetines. I thought I would like Suedeberry better than Red Velvet, given my penchant for corals over true reds, but I have to say that RV is far and away my favorite of the two:
Last Friday, I had my wisdom teeth removed. Here is a very attractive picture of me from immediately after the procedure. I could not fully feel my face until the following morning.
This time, I turned the bananas-level up a notch, from like, one bunch of bananas to two or three bushels of bananas. While on Vicodin (I keep saying this as if it absolves me from spending poorly), I purchased two wigs, some colored contact lenses, a pair of shoes, a new bra, some weird chicken cutlet push up thingies for said bra, and some heart-shaped sunglasses (that I literally forgot about until today).
So at the very least I have the basics for what promises to be a really awesome Halloween costume.
I'm very excited for this wig, not only because it was only $13.99, but because it is the exact color I have been trying to explain to my hair colorist for ages:
Much of what I purchased I found for super cheap and is coming from faraway places. I will report back with regard to quality, etc. once they arrive in a month or so.
I'm also super excited to forget I bought all these things, so when they come in the mail it will be like surprise Christmas.
Next up: supporting cute fat art, and a seriousbusiness post about intersections of cute, fat, and queer.

Ted Nugent working on music for new album
Listen to Ted Nugent on iHeartRadio
Ted Nugent has a new album in the works.
The Motor City Madman tells BraveWords.com he has some "killer licks and riffs and powerhouses" on tap, and his fans' "cravings for real, American, rhythm and blues driven rock 'n' roll will be very, very happy" with his new songs.
The rocker says he and his band will be hitting the studio in February to begin recording the material, and he "can't wait" to start the sessions.
Nugent also has a new project hitting stores this month. Ted is releasing the live set "Ultralive Ballisticrock" on DVD and Blu-ray, as in a double-CD-DVD deluxe digipak, and as a digital download on October 22nd.

Look, we know that when we first tell you that Philips is trying to sell you some internet-connected lightbulbs that you control from your iPhone for one hundred and eighty quid that you'll think Philips is mad. Or we're mad. Or both. And we get you.
It sounds like both a stupid amount of money to spend on lightbulbs, because… They're lightbulbs, innit? Flick a switch, turn 'em on; flick it the other way, turn 'em off.
And despite all the caveats, we can't deny that we're charmed by them, and it's possible that we won't be able to resist buying a set.
A starter set comes with three bulbs and a base station for the aforementioned one hundred and eighty quid. You can subsequently add up to 50 single bulbs for £50 a pop, but you need the starter set first, so that you have the bridge that joins the bulbs to your network.
The bridge is a big puck around the size of a hamburger. You connect it using Ethernet to your router - yes, Ethernet rather than Wi-Fi - and plug it into the mains.
It communicates with the bulbs - screw-fit only at the moment, not bayonet, though you can buy adapters on the high street - using its own RF (radio frequency) system, but of course even though you've plugged the bridge into your network using Ethernet, now that it's part of your network, you can connect to it however you please, including from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch through Wi-Fi. (Indeed, you can connect over the internet from the other side of the planet if you set up an account, which is fun.)
Pairing is easy. Download the free app, press a button on the bridge, and you're done. Now the fun begins.
Not only can you change the brightness of each bulb individually, but you can also change its colour. The bulbs are LEDs, and you can adjust the red, green and blue values of each. The app by default has a number of light recipes: there are slightly wacky ones that create colourful scenes, as well as pleasant presets such as 'Energize' and 'Reading' that set the brightness and offwhite colour for the bulbs.
You can look at a colour spectrum, drag each bulb onto it to set its hue and brightness, and then set this as your own preset. You can even take photos or load one in from your library and sample colours from it for each of your bulbs, then save that as a preset scene.
The colours are generally good, though there are limitations - no browns or blacks, of course, and the greens are distinctly anaemic. You can set timers to switch a scene on and off immediately or on a three-minute or nine-minute fader, though we'd like to see a kind of semi-random switch on/off to act as a burglar deterrent. And should you add lots of lightbulbs, there's currently no easy way to control 'zones' of them.
There's no escaping the fact that this is an intimidatingly expensive system, and though the LED bulbs' energy efficiency means running costs are good, they're only rated for about 15,000 hours of use.
Note, too, that at 600 lumens, each bulb is definitely 'mood lighting'; they can't replace main overhead lights for most rooms.
Availability is currently a bit all over the place if you do want some, and even though they're not five stars, we still think these are worth buying, if imperfect.

Since I've been researching my Swedish family of Moline, I've always known that John (Johan) Emil Moline was the son of Lars Petter Molin(e). But, following some Swedish naming customs, Johan Emil Moline might have come to this country under the surname Larson.
This is when documenting each step really gets important. I have the original Moline family bible pages that belonged to John Emil Moline. There is no mention of the surname Larson on any of the pages. So, what makes me think great grandpa was a Larson at some point?
Today, as I was searching for the date of my Great Grandpa Moline's second marriage to Hannah W. Skagerlind in the Washington State Digital Archives, the marriage license I found stated the witnesses were Axel and his wife (no first name given for her) LARSON. The date was 19 August 1925.
Was Axel just visiting Washington to attend the wedding and be a witness? My great grandfather did have a brother named Axel Linus Moline. Was this Axel Larson a relative…perhaps a cousin? John Emil Moline did have another brother in the United States: Fridolf Ferdinand Moline who, until 1920, was residing in St. Paul, Minnesota. Fridolf later moved to Indiana.
Right now, one thing is for sure: John Emil Moline married the second time to Hannah Skagerlind in 1925. Only time will tell who Axel Larson was!

Gun Control Legislation
The governor announced signing other gun-related legislation on Friday but rejected the centerpiece bill, which would have imposed the nation's toughest restrictions on gun ownership.
Brown's veto message for SB374 said it was too far-reaching. The bill by Democratic Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg would have outlawed future sales of an entire class of weapons that includes most assault rifles.
It was lawmakers' latest attempt to close loopholes that have let manufacturers work around previous assault weapon bans.
Gun-rights groups had threatened to sue if the semi-automatic weapons ban became law.

One good thing about having cut the program is that it's a much lighter weight now, and I did it because I thought, well, maybe once it's paired down, I can actually steer it toward IDE functionality. For example, you could really cut out a lot of the members of the data structures which only point to backend functionality anyway. Even if the whole project fails I won't regret doing it because I learned a lot about D in the process. What I'm really wondering is if you wanted a program which helped you edit the syntax tree directly and only produced a text file for saving and running, what kind of data structure would you like to have representing the syntax tree? Without knowing anything else, I guessed that it would be nice to have something resembling the official D parse-tree. > Unfortunately the conclusion was that it would be to difficult an > undertaking to be realistic, since DMD is designed to be run-and-done > (also something about "Walter code" :-)). I was wondering if you couldn't take a parse-tree data structure and deparse (disparse?) it back to formatted program code so that you could see what you were editing? As unrealistic as that sounds, I'm sufficiently attracted to the idea that I'm investigating it with an open mind. > But maybe a rewrite/port of DMD, especially one written in D, might > be able to be reworked with this > goal in mind? How complete is DDMD? This is exactly what I'm aiming at. My basic hopes for its being possible are the comforting notion that the huge part of dmd is actually the stuff I threw out! The goal would be to construct the front end (of a front end) which was at least theoretically capable both of allowing code editing, and of translation to a more backend-friendly data structure. If that's not possible, then I'm stuck with this thought that you edit the tree, then the IDE reverses the parse back into ordinary code for saving and compiling. If anybody can refer me to any examples and demonstrations of this type of code-editing, please do. As someone new to programming I'm really wondering why, if the program itself is understood by the computer as a tree, why do I have to edit a text file instead of a tree? Zach

Every New Year's day I do my ritual of looking back at the past year to see how many of my resolutions I achieved. This year I counted 7 out of 10 - 70 percent. Some were not really applicable any more, so my success rate could be interpreted as even better than that. I felt very pleased with myself and have promptly made new resolutions for 2012. This time of year is rife with personal promises which reflect past disappointments, frustrated dreams, lost ideals and individual yearnings and aspirations. So I am not alone in my actions.
Some people are inclined to ridicule the idea of making resolutions and trying to stick with them. But making these objectives at the start of each year is as crucial to feelings of worth and progress as actually achieving them. Two weeks into the new year, you are likely to be struggling with those resolutions. You are probably wondering why you bothered, when it seems so difficult to stick to them. Many people might even get despondent at not sticking to them for a long time, but any effort is better than nothing. Hang in there! Persistence usually pays off. By focusing on something you desire, you are likely to have it because you will work harder for it.
Resolutions are not just whims or idle promises. They emphasise past progress and rekindle new hopes. They demarcate the past and the present into manageable sections which acknowledge effort as well as the obstacles. They are likely to relate to losing weight, getting a new job, meeting a new soulmate, getting promotion, starting a new course, travelling, giving up smoking, reducing excesses in our lives and developing a new attitude, among many others. We often get strung up on not achieving all or most of those resolutions, so we become demoralised by our perceived failures in our search for perfection and then cease to bother.
However, achieving all the stated resolutions is not the point. What resolutions do, in fact, is help us to acknowledge the weaknesses and gaps in our lives and then make a commitment to improve them over the next year... a period which can be easily monitored. They also give us something to look forward to, as we will make a greater effort to achieve them. That is the essence of any resolution.
Changing priorities
Thus, achieving 100 percent of all our resolutions is unrealistic and a fallacy. Mainly because, by the time we reach the middle of the year, our priorities would probably have changed anyway, and what we started with as a special goal would not be so important anymore. If we achieve just 20 percent of our goals they will have an effect on us that was not foreseen and will actually push us along, gradually, towards the person we aspire to be, or the destination we have in mind. It is when we don't even try at all that our lives take a knocking and we stay in the same rut constantly, because the need to make resolutions means that something is missing from our life which would improve its quality. We cannot ignore it.
For example, if you made three goals (to find a partner, to see some of the world and to stop smoking), this is what is likely to happen: You may find the partner first, but she smokes too. Suddenly, the need to stop smoking might not be so important anymore because you have a kindred spirit to share it with. Or you might decide you don't want to travel after all because, having fallen in love, you will both be busy planning for life together and need the travel money. Though on the face of it, you achieved only ONE of your goals, it triggered other desires which then assumed greater priority. So you actually achieved more than you thought. It's a fixation with perfection which makes us blind to other unexpected blessings.
Making personal or career resolutions are thus very important. They provide the opportunity to review your life in the past year, review where you are going, review what you are lacking and put simple steps into place, for fulfilment within a given time frame. And that is no bad thing. Self-knowledge is the greatest route to power and self-confidence. It is all about personal development and purpose in your life. Nothing helps that process more than simple resolutions at crucial points on that journey.
A very Prosperous and Successful New Year to everyone reading this, and best wishes for the fulfilment of your dreams in 2013!

Published on 19th June 2012
By Marie O'Connor
June 16th had been a date in my diary for months and it finally rolled in bringing with it a Marathon, 50km, 100km and 10k race. The plan was to pick up Anne Lyng and Val and hit the sidelines in Portumna to scream abuse at our club mates. Like all good plans it went off without a hitch, sort of like a certain plan Tony Killarney nailed.
We arrived shortly after 11am with Vals puppy Miles in tow and as many bags as we could fit in my little yaris. Most of the luggage was Vals, minus one very important hospital bag but I guess she planned to wing it if the baby arrived early.
After a chat with Philip we set up our little camp at the marina, it was pretty perfect as we were in comfort with a great view of our oncoming victims. We caught them as they headed to the refreshment table and again a second time as they ran back up and away from us. One athlete in particular provided a great view as he ran away from us, he was graced with a fine posterior.
It wasn't long before our voices could be heard shouting "run faster" (that was Val), "keep it up", and "well done". Every Athenry competitor got the same amount of abuse, no one was left unscathed. One encounter deserving a mention was when Kenneth asked if he could throw us a water bottle he no longer needed. In doing so he hit Val smack on the side of the head, to be fair he was running 50km and so was forgiven for his misguided aim. He attempted to stop and see if Val was okay but instead got abuse hurled at him and was told to keep running, she'd be fine.
After an hour Val departed for greener fields at the finish line and Anne and me kept the shouting going from our spot. As the afternoon rolled on we got used to the faces passing us and it wasn't long before the banter was flowing. Larry of the 100 mile club enquired after his dinner each time he passed. We assured him the spuds were on and the stove was piping. A few laps later we were told he could eat an elephant and then he finally broke it to us, we weren't the only ones with dinner on for him. Another was being prepared elsewhere. That's men for ya.
A young man completing the marathon provided us with ample entertainment posing for pictures on each lap. Pat O'keeffe another 100 mile club member was treated to an attempt at cheerleading by yours truly, where I used two of Jane Anns gels as pom poms.
I did have one very serious task to complete, handing Jane Ann gels, etc. as she needed them, thankfully my brain complied and I gave her what was needed when it was called for. Towards the end of George's race he joked he could do with another gel and I cheekily gave him one of Jane Ann's, I did tell him he owes you one Jane Ann.
Each time an ex club mate Martina Passman came into view here name was screamed at her, as if she'd forget her own name. She probably still has my voice echoing in her head today. Actually most of our club mates possibly have our voices etched in their brains. Sorry.
As the day wound down we found ourselves back in the company of Val along with other sideline screamers Iain, Frances, Jim, Ray and ultramarathoner Aoife! It was pointed out to all I was sporting our brand new club tracksuit (just in stock) and as we were at a marina what better place to have a photo shoot?? Iain had cameras at the ready and was well practised having been on the course since 6am.
Val, being Val, suggested asking a boat owner if we could use his vessel for the shoot, proposing I could lie across it. While she left our company I instructed Iain to get the photos done quickly before I ended up on the boat. He clicked away while Ray suggested poses for me and I was told to "work the camera". All clothes stayed on and the camera was finally put away.
While our club mates went home with another race ticked off, new PBs, ultra marathon added to the list I went home with a day of happy memories.
Congrats again to all and Happy Birthday Maeve!!Category:

Is rift looming in U.S.-Israel ties?
In recent months, the tensions that have characterized relations between the Obama administration and the Netanyahu government have largely receded into the background.
The Obama administration is preparing to stand virtually alone with Israel at the United Nations in opposing the Palestinians' statehood push. A consensus is emerging within the administration that Turkey is more to blame than Israel for the crisis in their relations. And officials in the United States and Israel are basking in the afterglow of Obama's intervention with Egypt to facilitate the rescue of six Israelis during the storming of their Cairo embassy earlier this month.
Yet amid this flowering of good feelings, some observers are pointing to what they see as deeper undercurrents of disquiet in the U.S.-Israel relationship.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a respected Washington think tank that has been consulted in the past by officials of both countries, published a paper last week suggesting that their ties may be changing — and not for the better.
"The United States and Israel have changed and continue to change, but the two countries' relationship has not kept pace," said the report by Haim Malka, deputy director of the CSIS's Middle East program. "For years the growing differences have been papered over, but continuing to do so is both unsustainable and counterproductive."
The strains transcend any single administration, Malka says, and have resulted in deep-seated disagreements, particularly over the necessity of arriving at an agreement with the Palestinians, with Israelis skeptical of the likelihood of an accord and Americans seeing such a settlement as vital to the interests of both countries.
Dov Zakheim, a former top Pentagon official in Republican administrations who also is deeply involved in the Jewish and pro-Israel communities, also expressed concern about the state of the U.S.-Israel relationship.
"The biggest problem Israelis have: Israelis think they know the United States — they really do, especially the ones with American accents," he said at the Sept. 16 release event for Malka's report, in an apparent reference to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was educated in the United States.
"This peace process is a major priority for the United States across the board," Zakheim said. "It is not just realist Republicans, not just liberals, but the national security community. Israelis are having difficulty coming to terms with that."
Indeed, discontent with the current state of the Israel-U.S. relationship has been in evidence increasingly in the last couple of years in Washington's defense establishment — usually a redoubt of pro-Israelism.
David Makovsky, a top analyst at the pro-Israel Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said he does not believe there is a major rift on the horizon, but added that the Middle East's current volatility introduces an element of uncertainty into the alliance.
"The Arab spring is the new X factor," he said, referring to the unrest sweeping the region.
A top European diplomat who is charged with monitoring the U.S. Middle East posture dismissed talk of a U.S.-Israel rift as "very theoretical." The diplomat, who asked not to be further identified, said the United States was "covering" for Israel at the United Nations, which is its "traditional role."
Mark Quarterman, who spent 12 years as part of the U.S. delegation to the United Nations and now directs the CSIS's Program on Crisis, Conflict, and Cooperation, said "there has been very little change between the Bush administration, the Obama administration and generally across administrations" in voting against resolutions on the Israeli-Palestinian issue and trying to keep it off the Security Council's agenda.
The Obama administration has said it will veto the Palestinian statehood bid if it comes to a vote in the Security Council, and the United States will likely stand alone with Israel and a handful of other countries should the Palestinians seek enhanced status through the General Assembly. As the General Assembly began its session Wednesday, Obama was slated to meet with Netanyahu but not Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
The United States also has tried to help Israel in its increasingly acrimonious diplomatic fight with Turkey. Sources in frequent contact with the Obama administration say that while officials express frustration with Netanyahu's refusal to apologize for the deadly May 2010 Israeli raid on a Turkish-flagged ship aiming to break Israel's Gaza blockade, they are quick to acknowledge that such an apology would not have changed the Islamist Turkish government's determination to ratchet up confrontation with Israel.
Netanyahu and his team, for their part, have been sounding positive notes about the administration lately. The prime minister lavished praise on Obama for his Cairo intervention, saying that Israel owed Obama "a special measure of gratitude."
"We've enjoyed a period over the last four months of very close coordination with the administration, probably the best coordination that we've had over the last two-and-a-half years over the range of issues," Netanyahu aide Ron Dermer told Politico. "I think that we're definitely in a good place, with the U.S. administration and us seeing a lot of things eye to eye."

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Tornados scored another victory Wednesday, easing past Johnson C. Smith, 9-0. With the win, the Tornados improve to a perfect 10-0 in non-conference play, while moving their overall record to 15-3.
The Tornados won both contested doubles matches. Cole Altizer and Konstantin Savelyev won an 8-1 match over Aaron Hutcherson and Jamil Jones in the top spot, while Andrew Thompson and Nate Lyes won by the same score over George Dixon and Andrew Anglin. The Golden Bulls (6-15) did not field a third doubles team, conceding the point to Brevard.
In singles, Riikonen beat Hutcherson, 6-1, 6-0, while Altizer got past Jones, 6-1, 7-5. Jarred Fisher beat Dixon, 6-0, 6-0, Shane Apps beat Anglin by the same count, and Sam Johnston was equally perfect over Jerald Stuckey, winning 6-0, 6-0. Johnson C. Smith did not have a sixth player, allowing the Tornados a walkover victory.
Brevard returns to the court Thursday against UNC Asheville, a 3:30 match, while the Golden Bulls face Virginia State Friday at 3 p.m.

Date of Birth: September 17, 1930
Oklahoma Connection: Born in Weatherford, Oklahoma
Gemini 6
Gemini 9
Apollo 10
Thomas Stafford joined the US Naval Academy and afterward joined the US Air Force. His first flight was on the Gemini 6. He and his co-pilot Walter Schirra showed that it is possible for two spacecraft to fly near one another in order to dock like a ship and connect. The Gemini 6 came within one foot of Gemini 7. Stafford's next mission came unexpectedly when the crew of Gemini 9 died tragically in a plane crash. Stafford was part of the backup crew that allowed the mission to continue. While on the Gemini 9, his partner Eugene Cernan was doing a spacewalk when his face shield fogged over and communications started to fail. Stafford was able to talk him back inside, saving Cernan's life.
On his next mission on Apollo 10, he flew in the largest rocket ever built, the Saturn V.This flight helped prepare for the future mission to walk on the moon. For his last mission on Apollo-Soyuz, Stafford performed the first international rendezvous and docking. The astronauts met and worked together with two Russian cosmonauts. When they met, Stafford and Russian Alexei Leonov shook hands, known as the "Handshake in Space" that helped begin the ending of the Cold War and allowed the Russians and Americans to work together in space. Altogether, Stafford spent 407 hours and forty-three minutes in space.
Stafford Air & Space Museum
The Stafford Air & Space Museum, located in Weatherford, Oklahoma, is the hometown of legendary astronaut and aviation pioneer General Thomas P. Stafford. Housing one of the finest collections of aviation and space flight exhibits in the central United States, the museum features a large series of aeronautical and space artifacts. The museum features an exhibit area for the Gemini, Apollo, and Space Shuttle programs featuring artifacts from each mission. Visit www.staffordmuseum.com to find out more.

Barbara Jean Martin
Missing since December 7, 1958 from Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon
Classification: Endangered Missing
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance
Kenneth and Barbara Martin and their three daughters, Barbie, Virginia and Susan, set off in their nine-passenger, cream and red 1954 Ford Sedan station wagon (license 1G-7156) on December 7, 1958, on a trip to the Columbia Gorge to collect Christmas greenery to decorate their home on Northeast 57th Avenue in Portland. They never came back.
The Martins had bought 5 gallons of gasoline at a service station at Cascade Locks the day they disappeared. The attendant said it was late in the afternoon. The Martins were also seen leaving a Hood River restaurant in the late afternoon, heading west, back to Portland.
The search began when Ken Martin, an employee of an electric company failed to report to work on December 9, 1958.
Police said the Martins had no financial problems and seemed to have no dark personal secrets.
A day after their disappearance, a stolen white Chevrolet was found east of Cascade Locks. Close by, someone else found a stolen .38 Colt Commander automatic. Two ex-convicts in the area were arrested for car theft. Investigation files reveal the gun that was found had been stolen from Meier & Frank. It is unknown if the events are related.
In February 1959, a searcher discovered one-way tire tracks leading off a cliff above the Columbia River, near The Dalles. The tracks matched the tires on the Ford.
In early May 1959 a river drilling rig hooked something heavy and metal on its anchor. Before it could be brought to the surface, it fell loose from the anchor. It was near the site where the tire tracks had been found.
In the next couple of days the bodies of the two youngest Martin girls, Virginia, age 12 and Susan, age 10, were found downstream in the Columbia, near Bonneville Dam. They had drowned. A series of clues -- some perhaps not relating to the disappearance -- led investigators to think the family either accidentally had driven into the river at the Cascade Locks or had met with foul play, been abducted and pushed in their car off a cliff near The Dalles.
In 1959 an attempt was made to search the Cascade Locks. But when a diver nearly lost his life, the dive was stopped. Police agencies had run out of money, and diving equipment was primitive in 1959. No search of the river in The Dalles was made. The investigation was closed.

Winner Takes All, Including PAC Cash
May 21, 2009 | In looking at the PACs that gave money to losing congressional incumbents before the 2008 election, CRP has found that 171 groups went on to switch allegiance and give money to the winning challengers immediately after the election.
Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank Regulation
September 23, 2008 | The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
Brothers Grim: Is Lehman Next?
September 12, 2008 | Uncle Sam bailed out Freddie Mac and the company's twin sister, Fannie Mae, this week, and the next in line in the Wall Street family to get a helping hand might just be Lehman Brothers. Executives at the struggling investment bank are looking to sell the company with assistance from the government--and fast--as its stock plunges. Although the government isn't expected to completely bail out Lehman Brothers, the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank, the company has built a strong financial relationship with politicians over the years and coincidentally ranks fourth in the largest contributors in the race for the White House.
Update: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Invest in Lawmakers
September 11, 2008 | When the federal government announced two months ago that it would be seizing mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, CRP looked at how much money members of Congress had collected since 1989 from the companies. On Sunday the government proceeded with the takeover and we've returned to our data to bring you the updates, this time providing a list of all 354 lawmakers who have gotten money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (in July we posted the top 25).
Determining a Lawmaker's Worth
May 20, 2008 | Watchdogs and journalists are finding it difficult to determine just how much members of Congress are worth because they report their personal investments in wide ranges.

text: You know when people who are having unprotected sex on a daily basis say that getting pregnant was a shock or an accident? Well, that is how I feel about Demi Moore saying she was shocked Ashton Kutcher filed for divorce last week. The pair have been separated for a year. Why should she be shocked that after a year, he might want things to move along more quickly than the non-existent pace they were moving at previously. Demi wanted everything settled quietly, but apparently she is asking for so much money that Ashton thought she was being ridiculous and filed. The good news for all of us is that everything should be more public now and we might get to hear some good dirt.

In 2009 he published a book defaming Hitchens and Richard Dawkins because he was irked by their bellicose brand of atheism.
atheism is highest in Europe, where there are established churches involved in the political process.
"Maybe we need a new category other than theism, atheism or agnosticism that takes paradox and unknowing into account," he writes.
Another time, before he wrote his treatise on atheism, he scolded me for believing in God.
They all encourage her to spin her atheism into some form of belief.
An attempt to exclude him on charges of atheism and blasphemy failed.
It is a shade better than the atheism of despair; yet only a shade better.
Mr. Saunders, so far as his atheism was concerned, was suggested by Professor Clifford.
Mallare closed his eyes, a God shuddering before His own atheism.
atheism and downright infidelity, as a general rule, are never very popular.
1580s, from French athéisme (16c.), from Greek atheos "without god" (see atheist). A slightly earlier form is represented by atheonism (1530s) which is perhaps from Italian atheo "atheist." Ancient Greek atheotes meant "ungodliness."
Denial that there is a God. (Compare agnosticism.)

Its unfortunate, but true. 6'1" 241 isn't quite enough.
Te'o, who led all college football linebackers this decade with seven interceptions in 2012, might need to add weight if he wants to make it in the NFL. He can, however, jump far enough from a standing position to become a star at the next level, at least if 2013 Pro Bowl inside linebacker Jerod Mayo is your guide -- both players jumped 9-feet and five inches when tested in Indianapolis.
Te'o, however, doesn't run very fast over a 40-yard swath of FieldTurf, at least not in a straight line, and certainly not as fast as the world's best linebacker, Patrick Willis. Willis, all 6'1" 242 pounds of him (there's that pesky pound again), blazed those same 40 yards in 4.51 seconds compared to Te'o's 4.82.
But Willis, a six-time Pro Bowl selection in his six NFL seasons, pales in comparison to Te'o when attempting to navigate three cones placed evenly on the ground. He's likewise less impressive when performing something called a "20-yard shuttle." He was slower than Te'o in both drills, and is thus less likely to succeed in the future.
Because if Te'o, who recorded more than 100 tackles in three straight seasons at Notre Dame, has proved anything with his 2013 NFL Combine performance, its that past performance is not an accurate indicator of future success.
The good news for Te'o is that he's a full three pounds heavier than current Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher, who didn't get drafted when he finished at John Carroll in 1998. And Fletcher has had more than 15 calendar years to add weight!
Fletcher made more tackles than any NFL player from 2000 to 2009 but made just his fourth (consecutive) Pro Bowl at age 37 last season. Since Te'o weighs more than Fletcher, and is thus obviously better equipped to take on blockers at the professional level, Te'o could earn his first trip to Hawaii before he reaches 33-years-old, making him a much better prospect than Fletcher ever was.
Who wants to wait 11 years to play in Hawaii when you already live there?
Te'o also lied, something no great linebacker has ever done. (It's true, I watched the Super Bowl pre-game show.)
Also, Te'o is of Samoan decent. There hasn't been a Samoan Pro Bowler since Lofa Tatupu in 2005, 2006, and 2007.
Tatupu ran a 4.83 forty-yard dash over that same challenging course back in 2005, which makes him slower than Te'o -- not to mention lighter (238) and shorter (6'0"). It took him several months to make his first Pro Bowl.
Tatupu's successes were likely due to his innate 20-yard shuttle skill set, one that ranks as faster than both Te'o and Willis.
Tatupu jumps higher than both Chicago Bears linebacker and future Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher and Te'o -- who both leapt 33 inches off the ground to touch some (plastic?) vanes while wearing shorts. There was no football in the air, mind you, but there were some half-inch vanes over their heads.
Neither Te'o, nor Willis, nor Urlacher, is in as dire straights as 1996 combine participant Zach Thomas. Thomas could only jump 28.5 inches straight up, and that was when he was 22 years old.
Consider how much trouble he'd have elevating to that height now, for at age 39, Thomas has the wear and tear of seven Pro Bowls and the scars of earning a spot on the NFL's All-Decade Team (2000s) on his knees.
And finally there's the plight of Alabama linebacker DeMeco Ryans. Apparently the Crimson Tide has failed in its quest to produce NFL talent, as Ryans was able to navigate three strategically placed orange cones in just 7.19 seconds. That's slower than Te'o's comparatively blazing 7.13.
Ryans hasn't made the Pro Bowl since 2009 because of knee injuries (there's probably no way he can hit 7.19 through three little cones these days).
Now someone get Te'o and the rest of these guys some pads and let's see what happens.

Discussion in 'Old's Cool' started by rtwdoug, Oct 16, 2009.
where is the current doug thread around here?
Right here. Anybody know if Doug is ok?
I talked with him last Saturday. He's OK, just been busy
I'm sure he is, he's made a few post up on the "craigs list find of the day" thread. He's looking, no telling what he'll find next. Hell he might have gone over to the dark side now that he got a white exPolice Kawasaki to ride.
He contacted me last week about buying my 650 ural for a project. The ural had just sold to another buyer before he contacted me, but I hope to read about him putting together a uraharley soon!
I guess Poly has had her fill of riding her own bike, no two up for her and that old green colored ruckus bag behind her. Look like she has demanded some leg room.
Let's see where Dougs going to ride this one.
I've been busier than a cat covering shit on a marble floor.
Yeah, I was bummed I missed Matman's ural. woulda been perfect to put a sporty motor in.
This is my current project along that idea, its in the shop in Bulgaria. I didnt have alot of time this summer, so I just got it mocked up, but it looks like it'll work fine. Its actually a dnepr, not an ural, but they's about the same.
I found out that the sporty frame cradle will fit down into the dnepr frame just fine. I just gotta do a little bracket making & welding.
biggest problem is the sporty motor is taller, so I had to cut off the backbone of the frame, but I think I can flip it over, make a couple bends, add a few bits, & weld it back on.
The rear swingarm is also from a sporty, and I have a chain drive 16" sporty rear wheel.
technically, its a buell motor, out of a 01 cyclone. So I'm gonna replace a 15 horsepower dnepr motor with a 100hp buell motor.
some pics so far..... the motor is now in the frame, but I guess I forgot to take a picture of it.
so now that I'm back in the US, & did the cannonball run, my garage has been relocated to a nicer & warmer area.
The garage itself is smaller, altho with other rooms & outbuildings, its probably got more area.
I got this 95 Ducati from another ADV inmate, its an SP model, #379. I didnt know it was anything special, I just wanted a new toy.
Of course it wasnt running, as they are cheaper like that. It was also partially apart. He tried to charge me more, since he thought he had done 1/2 the work, by taking it apart
So I finally got some room freed up, & decided to see if it would run.
Trying to figure out what bolts & parts went where wasnt real easy, but I fingered it out ok. I finally got it to run with a gas bottle, so then I stuck the tank on, but it wouldnt run.
Turns out the fuel pump & filter were stopped up from bad gas.
I didnt know it had a pump, as its got carbs, not efi.
I had recently bought an ultrasonic cleaner for stopped up carbs, and for the hell of it, I put the fuel pump in there, & ran it thru a couple cycles. Damn thing started working again!
I dunno why I went so long without one of these handy doodads!
Runs great now, and it sure is fun to ride!
And just because I know that you guys think that all I do is tear stuff up & ruin it, heres a pic of it. Now I'm not promisin I wont tear it up & do something weird with it later......
(I think chrome upswept fishtail pipes would REALLY set it off!)
Now that the duc quacks like it should, heres my new dirtster project I picked up a year ago, & havent had time to fool with since.
First thing, remove all the crap that it doesnt need.....
http://www.potomacvintageriders.com/york-swap-meet/ Going to York this year? You could be my helper again... haha
After a year and a half of trying I finally talked my dads friend out of his r69us. Its been in storage since 1982. What can you tell me about cleaning slingers? Ride safe, Glenn
I dunno about york yet, but I'd like to
Ive never cleaned the /2 slingers. I have had several /2's, many had sat for years. (I got one last week with a '92 tag on it still, it runs great after a carb cleaning) The whole motor has to come apart to clean them, so my thought is that I would clean them if I had to rebuild the motor.
I've never had to rebuild one.
I think its just something that bmw guys fret over. if the motor needs rebuilt, rebuild it. but why take it apart if it doesnt need it?
Oh, and I'd suggest running non detergent oil in the engine, as the detergent type can break loose crud that is stuck somewhere, and that crud could hurt something.
But, remember, I'm no bmw expert (even tho, believe it or not, I did spent 200 hours getting BMW factory certified about 20 years ago)
But thats what I do to MY /2's
Looking forward to the Hural project!
Thats what I was thinkin... don't kick a sleepin dog in the ass. Carbs are soakin and gave the bike a WD-40 bath and wala fully restored. Maybe I'll spring for some tires
What liquid do you put in the ultrasonic cleaner, Pine Sol?
Hi Doug !
Fine you are well.
Here's a pic of the sporty motor in the Dnepr frame
made that on my last visit (http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=843438)
keep the rubberside down !
Nice job on the Duc.
You know with a few mods that'd be a great bike to ride to Magadan.
Be sure to change the cam belts, as insurance.
this is the crap you dont need when building a dirtster
this is the crap that you DO need when building a dirtster
I'd say "Let the butchering begin", but once again, Doug is a step ahead of me.
Hey buddy - glad o see y'all are finally gittin intimate!
I like that the key is still in the ignition and ready to go when your done
Looking forward to this build - and then where Doug will take it...

OP I meant the first post in regards to getting help. However I too agree (and maybe should have posted ) that recompiling a kernel is a great learning experience!
I just don't want those who read this thread think that we recommend people especially those who can't figure out how to start networking to go and start trying to recompile their kernels.
Any rate if you do give it a go, do as others have said and use a vm or USB for practice.

Too many architects face unfinished business. In fact, almost two-thirds of architects have at least one stalled project on the books due to lack of financing, in spite of record-low interest rates, according to a May 2011 survey by the AIA. Fortunately, a new AIA initiative is under way to jump-start stalled projects. Partnering with Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) America, the AIA pledged to create a database of stalled architecture projects that make economic sense but lack funding.
"Banks just won't lend," says Frank Harmon, FAIA, principal of Frank Harmon Architect PA, based in Raleigh, N.C. "We have a project we designed three years ago, and the bank said they'd lend us the money. The project is now ready to go, but they [the bank] suddenly won't lend." This problem doesn't just weigh on architecture firms. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that the job-creating potential of the design and construction industry accounts for $1 in $9 of the U.S. gross domestic product.
Established by former President Bill Clinton in 2005, the CGI network convenes stakeholders from the private and public sectors to stimulate economic growth through job creation. Members commit to finding innovative solutions to the world's economic issues, while also doing social and environmental good. The hope is that the AIA's database will shed light on the problem of stalled projects, while surfacing still-viable projects to investors.
Serving as more than a simple list, the AIA's database of stalled projects will be a tool that informs the industry and investors about the scope of stalled projects in need of financing. The AIA was approached about the concept of working within the CGI network of partners to match funding sources to stalled projects.
"CGI's membership is large and influential," says Paul Mendelsohn, AIA's vice president of government and community relations. "We see lots of promise in this collaboration. Our hope is that this database catalyzes job growth in construction, and illustrates how jobs in that field have a strong and lasting impact on the economy."
The stalled project database will be generated by surveying firms to collect quantitative information about stalled projects. Based on responses, a team lead by Kermit Baker, chief economist, AIA, will eliminate projects that are no longer considered suitable for development. For example, plans for a huge shopping complex may no longer make economic sense, given the state of the retail industry.
"Many projects that would have been a slam dunk three years ago are no longer viable," Baker says. "We'll gather more information from firms, then determine the market value of [stalled] projects to create a list of projects that look viable today."
Viable projects need to contribute to a triple bottom line. "They have to be energy-efficient, contribute to the health and development of the workforce, and be economically viable. Sustainability is a huge component," Mendelsohn says. Given the public's endorsement and energy costs, green projects may catch the eyes of potential investors first.
At this year's CGI America conference in June, people were buzzing about the growth of the sustainable-design industry. U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu announced the Better Buildings Challenge, recognizing and supporting organizations that commit to make America's buildings more energy efficient. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack shared his vision of sustainable design both revitalizing the economy and becoming an export opportunity.
"When we come out of this recession, I think we're going to realize that we need to be smarter," Raleigh's Harmon says. "We can't get products as cheaply as we used to. We have new competition from China and other places. Green building is just the right thing to do. It's not simply about saving energy or costs. It's better for you."
Do you have a stalled project on the books? Please contact the AIA at firstname.lastname@example.com and share your experience.
Be sure to include:
• Your name, firm name, and contact information
• The project type and name
• City and state of the project
• How large the project is, in terms of square feet and cost per square foot
• How many jobs your firm or your contractors could create if it moves forward, if known
• An electronic picture of the project or design (if applicable, JPEG or other similar format, please)
For stalled projects, please also answer the following questions:
• Why has the project stalled?
• Were any jobs lost due to the hold up?
• Would an increase in the energy-efficient 179d tax deduction help this project move forward
• Would increased access to financing through the Small Business Administration or other programs help move the project forward?
For projects that have received the 179d deduction already, please also answer the following questions:
• What were the main efficiency measures included in the project?
• How was the surrounding community impacted by this project (i.e., jobs created, increased economic development and revitalization efforts, improved access to transportation, etc.)?
• How much energy did the project save?
• Was the 179d deduction instrumental in this project moving forward?
• How would an increase in the deduction have impacted this project?
