Available Land at Quonset Becoming A Premium
| Sep 25, 2012
The numbers tell a compelling story. Quonset Business Park is home to 8,800 jobs with 168 companies doing business in a wide range of industries. More than 2,500 jobs were created since 2005. In 2011, the Port of Davisville was the seventh largest automobile importer in North America. These are numbers that reinforce Quonset's reputation as a key engine driving the state's economic development and job growth.
But there are also numbers that tell another story. The very existence of more companies and more jobs ultimately translates into a decreasing number of opportunities to locate here. There are good parcels still available, but as Quonset Business Park continues to succeed, the number of acres available for new companies is shrinking.
To date, there are 35 prepared sites available to developers. And while that number suggests opportunities for new businesses to discover the beauty and amenities of Quonset, it is in sharp contrast to the widely held notion that the land available at this former Navy base is limitless. In fact, of the 3,207 acres that comprise Quonset Business Park, just 1,401 are considered developable. The rest is either open space (689 acres) or owned or operated by other entities, like the Town of North Kingstown or the R.I. Airport Corporation. Of the acres available for development, 513 have been sold and 422 have been leased.
What remains is 463 acres. And of those acres, 109 are currently reserved or in negotiation.
47 are held under option by Deepwater Wind, while others are held by existing tenants such as Electric Boat. That leaves only 354 acres free for development for new companies looking to establish themselves at the Park.
The largest available parcel in the Park stands just over 56 acres. The spacious opportunity was created when the Quonset Development Corporation (QDC) combined two previously un-developable parcels in the West Davisville area of the park by purchasing a stretch of land that had separated the two. The majority of the other available parcels is between five and 10 acres and are located throughout the park. Commerce Park, North Davisville, the Gateway, and the waterfront area all feature prime sites ready for immediate development.
While the opportunities are shrinking, businesses considering Quonset will find that doing business here has never been easier. Over the past few years several infrastructure improvements have enhanced the park, with many projects having either been completed or scheduled to be completed in 2012. Those projects include the Rhode Island Fast Ferry Dock, the Compass Circle Extension, and a series of federal TIGER Projects at the Port of Davisville's Pier 1 and Pier 2.
More than anything, the QDC, in conjunction with state and town officials, has worked diligently over the past year to make the Quonset Business Park a truly business friendly environment. The Site-Readiness Program instituted last year, for example, came directly on the heels of the creation of a "Quonset Zone," a single zoning district assigned to the park as part of an agreement for uniform development regulations. Developers, accustomed to encountering red tape and endless regulatory hurdles at every turn, are finding Quonset to be a very business-friendly place to do business. The unified process means that all development and re-development projects in the park can proceed at a faster pace than ever before.
Make no mistake; Quonset Business Park is a wonderful place for a business to call home. But the neighborhood is filling up. The available sites are becoming scarce. And the time to act is now.

Libr.org was founded in 1998 by Rory Litwin, as a way of supporting progressive projects in the library community, and was the original home of the Library Juice zine. It still exists with the same mission: to provide communication services to librarians and library workers, individually and in groups, who believe in libraries as a social good and as an ideal pattern for the exchange of knowledge and ideas, and who wish to promote progressive thought and action and a concept of social responsibility within the library world and in the world at large.
from Herbert Schiller's Information Inequality, p. 35.
(London, New York: Routledge, 1996) ISBN: 0-415-90765-9
"...(I)nformation and data processing instrumentation are not independent or autonomous elements in society. How, and for what purposes, they are employed constitute essential and defining features of the social order. In the case of information, two dramatically different ways of using it can be imagined. One is to regard information as a social good and a central element in the development and creation of a democratic society. Under this premise, information serves to facilitate democratic decision making, assists citizen participation in government, and contributes to the search for roughly egalitarian measures in the economy at large. Comprehensive and well-organized public information enables decision makers to make rational resource allocation decisions; to prioritize social claims; to maximize social welfare. It allows them to overcome baleful practices that harm the general welfare, like pollution, smoking, and armaments production. Such information resources allow leaders to promote the development of science and invention that are socially beneficial and to organize historical experience for meaningful contemporary reflection and use. In brief, comprehensive, well-organized public information enables decision makers to bring past knowledge and experience to bear on current issues and problems.
"In contrast to information as a social good, a different approach can treat information as a privately produced commodity for sale. Actually, since Gutenberg, information has been bought and sold. Yet in the 500-year evolution of the industrial-capitalist state, social movements have sought to reserve some share of the community's information production and supply for common use. The public library system and the great land-grant universities are among the signal achievements of these efforts in the United States.
"In the 1990's, with the indispensable assistance of computerization, information is being produced, packaged, stored, and sold. Public stockpiles of information, government and academic, are being acquired in all sorts of imaginative and pecuniary ways by private companies. A vigorous and aggressive Information Industry Association successfully promotes its own objectives. In this pervasive atmosphere of privately acquiring, processing, and selling information, the public library system, a long-standing custodian of the idea and practice, of information as a social good, is tottering. Its function is being redefined and stripped of its social character...
"...Many librarians resist this direction and work valiantly, sometimes successfully, in the democratic tradition, defending the general social good. Their efforts are part of a larger democratic struggle that is not going well at this time. Alongside besieged public schools and public libraries are other organizations and institutions with democratic objectives and agendas that are also being swamped by technological, financial, and political pressures of the voracious market economy."
Libr.org exists primarily to help small organizations of librarians who are working in this struggle to defend the social good. It provides a place on the web to make their information easily accessible, and further disseminates information from these and other groups to help people make personal and professional connections that activate the library world.

Thomas Kelley III, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, has a new essay Exporting Western Law to the Developing World: The Troubling Case of Niger. It appeared in Global Jurist (2007). Here's the abstract: In recent years the West has dispatched "rule doctors" across the developing world to guide poor countries through the process of legal modernization and westernization. Their goal, laid out by the so-called Washington Consensus, has been to reform those countries' legal systems so that they might share in the economic bounty of globalization. But things have not always gone well, particularly – this paper argues – where those rule doctors have ignored existing legal traditions. The paper focuses on the particular case of Niger, one of the poorest countries in the world. At present, most of Niger's citizens rely on magio-religious traditions to accomplish what we in the West would consider law. One important, and from a Western perspective colorful, Nigerien legal tradition is its citizens' reliance on an oracle called the gon to identify wrongdoers and restore harmony to their communities. The paper will describe the gon, and will point out some of the ways that it differs fundamentally from Western conceptions of law. It then will conclude that Washington Consensus law reform in Niger will fail, and will very likely cause social unrest, unless it takes a different tack and finds a way to accommodate existing legal traditions.

Exclusive: UBS Was Mystery Lender For Thai Group's Ping An Deal - Sources
The mystery lender behind a Thai billionaire's $9.4 billion purchase of a stake in China's No.2 insurer was UBS, which offered the region's fourth largest bridge loan ever and a complex financing package known to only a few involved, people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
The Swiss bank's financial backing for the biggest foreign purchase of Chinese stock explains how a Thai conglomerate scraped together $7.4 billion in cash for the deal's final payment, after its main lender backed out at the 11th hour.
The rescue role the bank played in CP Group's acquisition of HSBC's 15.6 percent stake in Ping An Insurance Group Co of China was not disclosed by the companies.
People with direct knowledge say that UBS AG backed the deal with two financing facilities, the major piece being a five year, roughly $5.5 billion loan.
The short term facility was a bridge loan that was replaced by longer term financing, the people say. At $5.5 billion, the short term facility would have been the fourth largest Asia Pacific bridge loan on record, according to Thomson Reuters data.
For the help it provided, UBS is set to earn another milestone. People familiar with the matter say the bank is expected to reap, over time, about $100 million in arranging fees alone, a massive amount for one bank on a single deal.
In estimated fee terms, that is more than Deutsche Bank earned from four investment banking divisions in Asia-Pacific in the first quarter of 2013, according to estimates by Thomson Reuters/Freeman Consulting.
Such an extraordinary arrangement with a prized client, Thai billionaire Dhanin Chearavanont, is both a rare move for UBS and signals a key shift in strategy for the bank.
The Dhanin deal shows that the investment bank is focusing more on high margin transactions than standard deal flow. The aim is to cater more to faithful, fee-paying clients and constructing deals for them that may be higher in risk, but also higher in reward.
"This is certainly something they have the skill to do and it makes sense," said Peter Kennan, who runs Hong Kong-based hedge fund Black Crane Investment Management.
"The straight vanilla business is going to remain tough and there are many off piste high margin opportunities that they could capture."
The strategy, taken on by rivals as well, comes at a time when investment banking revenues are under pressure, in part from a drop in the high-fee business of equity capital markets banking across Asia and other parts of the world.
A jumbo loan for UBS, backed by the borrower's assets, is new turf for the bank, known more for its M&A skills and equity capital markets prowess in the region.
UBS declined to comment for this story. CP Group also declined to comment.
UBS's secret role in the saga is just one of several plot twists that emerged in HSBC's sale of its stake in Ping An, the world's second-largest insurer by market value.
On December 5, HSBC Holdings Plc announced that affiliates of Dhanin's conglomerate Charoen Pokphand Group (CP Group) agreed to buy the Ping An stake for $9.4 billion, and to pay nearly $2 billion up front. The remainder was to come early in 2013, pending approval from China's insurance regulator. The deadline for approval was set for February 1.
According to the December 5 statement, the second installment was backed by a branch of state lender China Development Bank Corp.
Three weeks later, Chinese magazine Caixin published a story based on anonymous sources saying that the up-front payment came from entities not directly affiliated with CP Group. Beijing was under pressure to clean up corruption, and China Development Bank did not want to take any chances. People familiar with the situation say the bank backed out of its loan in early January.
HSBC announced on February 1 that China's insurance regulator had granted approval, with final payment coming in five days. The HSBC release made no mention of China Development Bank.
The question quickly surfaced: Without China Development Bank, how did Dhanin secure the $7.4 billion? The official line was that CP Group managed to fund the last installment itself. But doubts about that explanation lingered.
Although Dhanin is Thailand's richest man with a net worth of $14.3 billion according to Forbes, coming up with $7.4 billion on his own was out of the question, people familiar with the matter said. He and UBS began discussions on financing in early January, they said.
Dhanin is a private banking client of UBS and the bank has worked with him and his various corporations for at least a decade on stock offerings, restructurings and acquisitions. UBS was already the sole M&A adviser to CP on the Ping An deal, a role that would earn the bank around $25 million in advisory fees, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Dhanin's last-minute snag quickly turned UBS into a lender as well.
According to people familiar with the matter, UBS arranged a short-term facility, crafted in order to show the seller and the regulators that Dhanin had the cash on hand to pay the final amount.
A long-term financing facility then replaced the first one, once the deal was approved and the two parties knew it would go through without issue.
That second facility is a five-year, roughly $5.5 billion loan, with a few other financing products attached, including a hedging mechanism, according to the people familiar with the matter.
A financing package of that size, huge in any market, was so large that Zurich-based UBS Chief Executive Sergio Ermotti signed off on the deal personally, the people said.
Part of the roughly $5.5 billion loan was syndicated to UBS private banking clients, the people said, so that UBS is not exposed to the entire amount. Dhanin and CP Group came up with the remaining cash needed for the final $7.4 billion payment.
For UBS, backing the loan is Dhanin's personal wealth and the various corporate entities he controls, including several publicly traded companies.
The hedging part of UBS's financing package, the people say, was put in place to protect Dhanin's financial interests if Ping An's shares fall below a certain level.
The details of the package were privately negotiated and only a few senior bankers and executives are aware of the precise, complex details.
"The client had an issue, and UBS provided a solution. And UBS will be paid a fee for that solution," said one of the people familiar with the deal.

California Climate Change Adaptation
The State of California addresses adaptation to climate change through its California Climate Adaptation Strategy which summarizes climate change impacts and recommends adaptation strategies.
The State is also developing an Adaptation Planning Guide (APG) to provide a decision-making framework intended for use by local and regional stakeholders to aid in the interpretation of climate science and to develop a systematic rationale for reducing risks caused, or exacerbated, by climate change.
The State's third major assessment on climate change explores local and statewide vulnerabilities to climate change, highlighting opportunities for taking concrete actions to reduce climate-change impacts. See the Reports on the Third Assessment.
The California Natural Resources Agency and the California Energy Commission have released Cal-Adapt, a web-based tool which enables city and county planners, government agencies, and the public to identify potential climate change risks in specific areas throughout California.

From Taiwan's Taipei Times:
Former US vice president Al Gore will not be able to make it to Taiwan this September to address the issue of global warming, Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Tien Chiu-chin (田秋堇) said yesterday. Tien, who invited Gore to visit Taiwan to promote awareness on global warming, told reporters yesterday that she received an e-mail from the Harry Walker Agency, which has the exclusive right to arrange Gore's speeches, saying that Gore had canceled all his scheduled events in the next six months. The visit to Taiwan had been postponed to next year, she added. Tien said the reason for the cancelation was that Gore was considering a presidential bid.
That's big news if true. Has anyone heard of Gore canceling other appearances? If this report is correct, it should be obvious very soon. Having Gore in the race would certainly add entertainment value. Also, if Gore jumps in, can John Kerry be far behind?
Via The Corner.
UPDATE: A reader sent us this link, which appears to indicate that the Taiwan story is a fraud. Not sure whether that's good news or bad news. And, of course, it doesn't necessarily mean Gore won't jump in.

Navy Implementation Plan Approved, More Positions Open for Women
- Details

"Navy's deliberate approach to reducing gender-based barriers to women's service will provide the time necessary to integrate women into occupational fields so they can succeed and flourish," said Rear Adm. Tony Kurta, director, Military Personnel Plans and Policy. "This is important, and we've taken our time to get it right. Our implementation plan has addressed all positions currently closed to the assignment of women, ensuring we maximize professional opportunities for our Sailors."
According to the implementation plan, the Navy will have no closed occupations, very limited number of closed positions, and equal professional opportunity for females in every officer designator and enlisted rating in the Navy by January 1, 2016.
Following the required 30-day Congressional notification period, over 400 Navy positions in the Coastal Riverine Force will be opened for the assignment of women. The 400 Navy positions in the Coastal Riverine Force small craft include both female officers and enlisted.
More than 5,000 positions are currently closed to the assignment of women in the USMC Ground Combat Element. Navy will follow the USMC Implementation Plan as units are opened. These positions include female Hospital Corpsmen (HM) and Religious Program Specialists (RP) and female medical officers, Chaplains, and surface warfare officers, submarine officers, and aviators serving as Naval Gunfire Liaison Officers (NGLO). All Navy personnel assigned to the USMC Ground Combat Element will be required to adhere to USMC occupational standards as applicable.
Over 3,000 positions in Naval Special Warfare remain currently closed to the assignment of women. The Navy will follow the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) developed integrated timeline for the potential integration of women into Special Forces. According to the timeline, Congressional notification for Naval Special Warfare integration is scheduled for July 2015.
Election for Navy enlisted boot camp and officer selection is scheduled to begin in October 2015, with the Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) and Special Warfare Combatant Craft Crewmen (SWCC) pipeline opening to females and cadre placement beginning in January 2016. The first opportunity for female enlisted personnel to attend SEAL/SWCC training is scheduled for March 2016, with the first opportunity for officers to ship to SEAL/SWCC training June 2016.
USSOCOM is working with all of the Services to tie occupational standards to operational requirements. Additionally, USSOCOM will research and analyze social impacts of integrations on small, elite units operating in austere and remote environments and conduct behavioral science analysis, with all studies scheduled to be complete by July 1, 2014.
During the USSOCOM female integration implementation process, quarterly progress reports on the elimination of gender-restrictive policies will be made to the Secretary of Defense through the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness.
Privacy, berthing, and leadership requirements currently restrict approximately 19,000 Navy positions to the assignment of women on both surface ships and submarines. The Navy will decide whether to expand assignment opportunity for enlisted women to Frigates, Mine Countermeasure ships, and Patrol Coastal Craft no later than June 2014.
Following in-depth analysis of cost, habitability decommissioning and commissioning schedules, the Navy will decide on the future assignment of female enlisted on submarines no later than March 2015.
If restrictions for assignment will be necessary based on cost prohibitive privacy and berthing updates, and if equal professional opportunity cannot be found elsewhere, the Navy will request an exception to policy by the Secretary of Defense.
The Navy supports integrating women into newly opened positions and units as expeditiously as possible, considering good order and judicious use of fiscal resources. The Navy's deliberate approach to reducing gender-based barriers to women's service will provide the time necessary to integrate women into occupational fields so they can succeed and flourish.

Attainable speeds for typical spindle bearing arrangements
A typical spindle bearing arrangements, which can contain various bearing types, comprises a bearing support on the tool end and another support on the non-tool end. The support on the tool end is usually the critical one. It typically uses larger bearings, forcing a higher speed factor A. Diagram 1 provides a comparison of possible bearing arrangements and their relative speed capability. The comparison is based on bearings with an 80 mm bore on the tool end and 70 mm bore on the non-tool end. For details about the bearing series, refer to the designation system of:

Canucks coming up short in game of grinding giants
Vancouver again forced to fight above its weight class in playoff trenches, where size matters
Defenceman Andrew Alberts of the Vancouver Canucks (right) tries to check centre Joe Thornton of the San Jose Sharks off the puck during Game 1 of the NHL Western Conference quarter-final series between the Canucks and Sharks at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on Wednesday, May 1, 2013.

VANCOUVER — A month after the Vancouver Canucks tried to acquire Raffi Torres and Ryane Clowe at the National Hockey League trading deadline, we found out why.
Well, it was more a confirmation than a discovery Wednesday because there really was nothing new about the Canucks' 3-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks in the teams' opening game of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The Canucks didn't do enough to force their way to the net and create havoc and second and third scoring chances. Vancouver scored one greasy goal, which is rarely enough in the playoffs.
Size matters. And the Canucks don't have much of it among their top nine forwards — the guys whose minutes decide games.
With largely the same lineup, the Canucks are 1-7 in playoff games since getting within a victory of claiming the Stanley Cup two years ago. Alas, that lone win came during a first-round loss to the Los Angeles Kings last year, rather than in Games 6 or 7 against the Bruins in 2011.
The Canucks, one of the NHL's highest-scoring teams over the last five regular seasons, have 11 goals during their eight-game struggle. Including the first five games against brawny Boston, it's 17 goals in 13 playoff games.
The Kings, big and powerful, destroyed opponents during a 16-4 rampage to the Stanley Cup last spring. The Bruins bullied their way past the Canucks to win Lord Stanley's beer bowl the previous year. In 2010, the Chicago Blackhawks won the Cup with a team that was as intimidating as it was skilled, sprinkled throughout with heavy, powerful forwards who stormed the net. Those Blackhawks also eliminated the Canucks.
Do you see a trend here?
The Canucks obviously did, albeit belatedly, when they tried to bulk up at the deadline but were outbid on Torres (by the Sharks) and Clowe (by the New York Rangers).
Instead, needing another centre to have any chance of winning, the Canucks got smaller with the acquisition of 5-foot-9 Derek Roy.
So when Vancouver and San Jose line up Friday for Game 2 (7 p.m., TSN, Team 1040), the Sharks will be on average two inches taller and about 20 pounds heavier across the first two forward lines.
San Jose, which has a second line of Joe Thornton, Brent Burns and TJ Galiardi that is 19 feet tall, averages 6-foot-2½ and 211 pounds on the top two lines. Vancouver averages a half-inch over six feet and 192 pounds. Torres, who led everyone with six hits in Game 1, skates on a San Jose third line that even with 5-foot-11 centre Joe Pavelski is marginally bigger than Vancouver's third unit.
As they practised Thursday, the Canucks had only two top-nine forwards more than 200 pounds. The Sharks have only three who are less than 200.
Obviously, size isn't much good without skill and determination driving it. But the Canucks are fighting above their weight class yet again.
"Look at our goal and their goals, too (in Game 1)," Canucks winger Danny Sedin said after Thursday's practice. "It's getting guys in front of the net and getting to rebounds. It's tough, but it's what you have to do.
"No question we can get to the net. It's more about how you play. We want to get pucks to the D-men, then get to the net. Right now, we're working so hard at retrieving pucks and when we get them and throw them to the Ds, it's so hard to get to the net from the corner. We need someone in front of the net all the time who gets position. It's tough to get there, but once you're there it's easy."
Canucks winger Chris Higgins said the team has discussed the need to drive through defenders.
"When we got shots, it was a rare thing that we got the puck for a second opportunity, and it's the second and third opportunities that are most dangerous because the coverage starts to collapse," Higgins said.
"You don't need to be a big guy to get to the front. Look at Burr (190-pound teammate Alex Burrows). He scores most of his goals from five feet out and he's not the biggest guy or most physically imposing guy. It's about your willingness to win those puck battles."
Asked last week if he felt general manager Mike Gillis had provided the coach all the players he needed, considering the failed trade mission involving $5.33-million backup goalie Roberto Luongo, Alain Vigneault smiled and said it was a good question.
"Because of my relationship with Mike and Laurence and Lorne (assistant GMs Gilman and Henning), I'm always up-to-date on what's going on," Vigneault said.
"I know everything management did to try to improve this team. Because I know all the facts, I'm very happy with the team I have."
And he's happy now to have Luongo, who was spectacular in the first period Wednesday and will start again Friday because of the mysterious injury to Cory Schneider.
But the Canucks need much more than Luongo.
Their failure lately to win playoff games — and especially their inability to generate goals or a consistent physical presence in front of the opposition net — is defining the Canucks.
They need a victory that refutes the idea they're not big enough or tough enough on the top three lines.
The greatest playoff wins in franchise history were not in Conference or Cup finals, but in the first round.
Their cathartic Game 7 victory against the Calgary Flames in 1994 redefined the franchise, just as the Canucks' triumph over the Blackhawks at the same stage of the 2011 playoffs broadened the horizon for the team and made possible what was thought to be almost impossible.
The Canucks need to prove they can still win in the playoffs with a lineup based mostly on skill and speed up front.
But they can't wait for another Game 7 because this series should be over if they lose Game 2 Friday night.

Facebook ladies shake it on stage with Thievery Corporation
Maybe Facebook's hackathon wasn't an all-nighter like founder Mark Zuckerberg prefers, but that didn't stop Facebook hotties Brandee Barker, Caitlin O'Farrell, Kathleen Loughlin and Raquel DiSabatino from enjoying themselves on stage with Thievery Corporation. Apparently, the crowd enjoyed them on stage too. "So awesome," commented Facebook's Dave Morin, despite being very taken by Google's Brittany Bohnet. Here's what we want to know about the video: Where's Sheryl Sandberg? What, mama don't dance no more? We hear her team insisted she wear jeans to the event, a fashion move the buttoned-up Sandberg almost never makes. But dancing must have been a step too far.

In light of all the negative "stuff" affecting our hobby that's been going on in recent times—legislation, titling, tree huggers—it's nice to see we're getting some positive televised media support. But with all the damage that a certain few cable series programs inflicted over the past decade, will this new enlightened viewpoint on hot rodding have much effect?
With the exception of that Orkin commercial we've all seen or heard about (it's been construed with opposing opinions), companies like Jack Daniels and Valvoline have spun a new light on things, the main point of which I've interpreted as preserving Americana. If you haven't seen the commercials, the one from Jack Daniels backs their message proclaiming the importance of our country's heritage by depicting, among all things American, a '27 T roadster pickup and an early Indian Scout. Valvoline (and Castrol before them), on the other hand, has not only been promoting its semi-recycled oil, but supports consumers keeping their cars on the road well past the 100,000-mile marker. Quaker State has a similar promotion, but on top of their product guarantee, they've got a program that puts money in consumers' pockets after they've reached 300K.
There are actually a few cable network shows airing lately that, for the most part, illustrate how important the automobile is to our country's legacy.
Regarding that particular Orkin ad—two rats in a rod—I don't know what effect it'll have on hot rodding, positive, negative, or anything at all. For the most part, the general public probably has no clue what rodents driving that kind of car even suggests. And as for the oil company campaigns, while they aren't directly aimed at hot rodders, per se, they are standing behind Americans keeping their cars on the road—not just their new cars. It's sort of nice having that kind of support, especially when some of our local and state governments want the exact opposite.
Furthermore, there are actually a few cable network shows airing lately that, for the most part, illustrate how important the automobile is to our country's legacy. Whether it's coverage of the various collector car auctions (Mecum, Barrett-Jackson, etc.), historical features, like the Icon series that aired on the HD Theater, or series like Rides and Chasing Classic Cars, it's all positive press our hobby desperately needs. (There have been some shows that I think did more harm than good by depicting hot rods being built that don't quite jive with certain laws and regulations—but overall, the good outweighs the bad.) But is any of this reaching the people who really need to see it? And if so, does it even make the right impression? I wish I knew the answer to that. But if it's not, what is it going to take in order to make people in higher places not only understand, but respect and honor America's automotive heritage?

DETROIT – Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock moved Johan Franzen to center on April 5 in Colorado to engage his power forward more.
The move lasted all of two games, but it seems to have done the trick.
Franzen has scored half of his season total in goals over these last seven games to help keep the Wings in playoff contention down the stretch.
'He's been unbelievable,' forward Patrick Eaves said. 'You can't get the puck off him when he's playing like this. We really need that. I'm glad he's on our side and hopefully he continues this into May and June … and July.'
Franzen has 14 goals on the year in 40 games, which ranks second on the team. He also has 17 assists.
To help keep the engagement going, Babcock has had Franzen killing penalties now as well, after Drew Miller suffered a broken hand in Vancouver last Saturday.
'He's very engaged,' Babcock said. 'I don't know if that's because he's penalty killing now and playing more. He's not sitting on the bench (as much). He's a big man. Sometimes when you're not penalty killing you're sitting there. You (don't) kill penalties, you sit there and watch and, as a big man, I don't know if that's part of it. But he's always engaged this time of year. He's important for us, a huge man with great hands. He's become a leader on this team. I think he's really emerged that way this year.'
Franzen has been known to score in bunches.
It's what happens when he's not scoring that's been the problem over this career. He tends to have long stretches where he's quite ineffective on the ice and has little impact on the game.
'He's a great player, big, strong and quick on his feet,' said forward Valtteri Filppula, who centers the Wings' second line with Franzen and Daniel Cleary. 'Plus, he's got a good set of hands. He's been important for us, scoring some key goals down the stretch and everybody knows how he plays in the playoffs, so it's a good start that he's playing well right now.'
In 88 career playoff games, Franzen has 38 goals and 35 assists.
'We need to win here down the stretch so it's all about playing the way we do,' Franzen said after Thursday's 5-2 win over Nashville. 'We get pucks to the net and we get traffic. We really haven't been doing that here. We've been trying to make the fancy plays on the outside and hoping for an open net somewhere. It doesn't work like that. You've got to play like this and that's when you start scoring.'
Abby at a career high Forward Justin Abdelkader had no goals in his first 23 games. He scored 10 in the last 24, which is a career high.
'Not after the start I got off to,' Abdelkader said when asked if he thought he would have a career high in goals after the start he had to the lockout shortened season. 'It was a tough start, frustrating for a while there.'
Despite the struggle, Babcock kept Abdelkader on the top line with Pavel Datsyuk.
'I've had a great opportunity to play with two unbelievable players,' said Abdelkader, who's other wing on the line is Henrik Zetterberg. 'I'm just trying to play my game. Get in front of the net for those guys and play hard defensively.'
One and down Detroit controls its own playoff destiny Saturday in Dallas.
A win or a loss in overtime or shootout against the Stars gets the Wings in the postseason for a 22nd consecutive season. They also get in if Columbus doesn't get a win over Nashville or if Minnesota, which hosted Edmonton Friday night, suffers losses in regulation in its final two games of the regular season.
'It's tough to sometimes to watch and have to rely on other teams to win or lose,' Abdelkader said. 'We've had control of our own destiny and we still do. We have one game here to hopefully finish it off.'
The Wings have won three in a row, while Columbus is 7-3-0 over its last 10 games.
'It seems like we've been playing a lot of playoff hockey lately,' Eaves said. 'Just with Columbus playing so good, we've had to play very good to keep up with them.'

Ask Dr. Julianne
Aloha Dear Ones,
Happy New Year's Day. Maui is spectacularly beautiful today. Blues of sky and sea, greens of palm trees and exotic plants, fragrant flowers painted bright fuschia, all alive and vibrant in the soft sunshine. Gentle trade winds blow across small waves, tease blossoms, and caress my face. I feel a part of everything flowing and ever-changing.
Just got done watching the last half hour of, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," for the, God-knows-how-many, time. Even with the passionate contingent of true alien believers on Maui, I'm not really a space brother/space sister, kind of new-ager. It's pretty logical that other beings exist in the galaxy. I just don't go around focusing on them. We have plenty to do here. Don't get me wrong, I love SciFi. I'd be happy giving tax dollars to NASA, so that we can, "boldly go where no one has gone before."
That wonder of going forward into the unknown, is what resonated so deeply with me, watching, "Close Encounters." It seemed downright prophetic, this time–of change in motion.
How many times have thoughts like, "Things will never change. I had dreams, goals, for 2011, the same ones I've had for so long. How will anything ever be different," crossed your mind? Or is it just me? At the end of each year, we are besieged with well-meaning emails, classes, invitations of all sorts, trying to give us a new twist on goal setting. All these promise us that if we can just tweak the process the right way, our goals will come to fruition.
Yes, there are ways of focusing our intention that make our dreams more likely to take shape, to grow into recognizable form. Taking small, consistent steps, day after day, and giving each step a deadline, or due date, is one. Being willing to try something we've never done before is another.
There is a new, evolutionary perspective, a bigger truth I'm asking all of us to consider. Whatever we do, it's never just about us. Our sweetest, wildest dream, if we imagine living it, are we ever alone? Isn't there someone, or many, sharing it with us? Just imagine the most powerful manifestation of your dream impacting, blessing the earth, and everyone on it. How does it look? How does it feel?
You may be imagining something very grand. A multi-modal, global healing center, somehow accessible to anyone in need, is the big dream of more Mauians than I can count, and what a beautiful, altruistic dream. Here's the thing–each choice, no matter how small, of the dreamer, is just as important, potentially just as beautiful, just as altruistic, as the grander vision.
One day, we get out of bed, and we don't want to work on the planned step towards our goal. It's such a small thing, not glamorous, not leading to any clear result on its own. Maybe it's not even an action towards the goal itself, but an internal preparation, like a daily meditation practice. On the days when we haven't had enough sleep the night before, or we were disappointed by a friend before breakfast, from where does our motivation come? What does it matter?
It matters, dear ones, because we are responsible to each other in this life. If we give up, we take away from our brothers and sisters. If we do that which is right for us to do, we contribute to the well being of our family, our community, our country, our earth, to all humanity. This is easy enough for good, spiritual people to get on board with, intellectually, even emotionally. But when it is real for us, when this sacred interconnection becomes our lived reality, a miracle happens.
Our motivation shifts. We may not feel like doing the right thing for ourselves, when it is especially inconvenient, or if we feel inadequate to the demand. But, we have a deep and abiding awareness of everyone in our circles, and their circles, depending on us, needing us to show up as the very best within us. Our love for these precious ones, our commitment to them, lifts us up, makes it possible for us to act for the greater good. Then, miracle of wonders, we discover that doing what is for the greatest good, however difficult or terrifying it seemed, turns out to be our greatest happiness, also–not in abstract, but in the most real, bottom-line, fulfilling, exciting way.
More of us are waking up to our innate inter-relatedness. A divinely inspired evolution of our consciousness is unfolding. In a world motivated by doing the right thing for the greatest good, we don't need to worry about, "How will anything ever be different?" For any pattern of limitation, any holding back from expressing all the love of God, becoming–its days are numbered. Something more good, more true, more beautiful, and more holy, is emerging.
As 2012 begins, we are indeed going where no one has gone before, together.
Love and blessings,
Dr. Julianne

The Incredible Disappearing Office: Making Telework Work
- Authors:
Publication Date:
May 2012
Telework has become a go-to strategy for mitigating work-life conflicts, increasing workforce flexibility, and growing employee engagement. Still, many human capital executives are confused over what to do about telework or how to enhance programs. Analyzing data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey and culling current research in the field, we provide guidance for executives to understand the shifts occurring in telework practices and to start conversations internally about the value of telework. We also explore best practices and lessons learned, and we provide recommendations for executives thinking of implementing or enhancing telework initiatives to maximize program effectiveness.

There are dozens of affordable hotels in Orlando — and motel options, including those which are part of well-known chains such as Ramada Orlando Downtown, Motel 6 Orlando, Best Western, and Comfort Inn & Suites. Visitors can find reasonable rates in the Florida Center South neighborhood at properties such as Days Inn Orlando on International Drive, and family friendly La Quinta Inn Orlando Universal. Cheap hotels in the business district of Belle Isle include Travelodge Inn and Suites Orlando Airport, and Sleep Inn & Suites Orlando Airport. Budget room rates range from $58 for a stay at Travelodge to $90 at La Quinta Inn Orlando.
There is an array of luxury Orlando hotels available for affluent travelers in neighborhoods like Florida Center North, Florida Center South, downtown Orlando, and the central business district. In Florida Center North and South, high-end hotels include Universal's Hard Rock Hotel, which is near Universal's Islands of Adventure; the four-star resort Universal's Loews Portofino Bay Hotel in Orlando, and Universal's Loews Royal Pacific Resort. For visitors who prefer the heart of the entertainment and sports district, including Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium, then hotel choices include the certified-green hotel Crowne Plaza Orlando and the four-and a-half-star Grand Bohemian Orlando. Choosing either of these luxury hotels in Orlando will place you in the heart of it all, while making you feel great by staying at a sustainable property. Rates range for luxury hotel stays from close to $200 at Crown Plaza Orlando to $400 for a stay at Universal Loews Royal Pacific Resort.
For those visitors who want the comforts of home while on vacation, even if it's someone else's home, then an Airbnb lodging is a great option. There are plenty from which to choose in the Orlando area. From a cozy rental in Winter Park that is within walking distant to plenty of things to do, such as the East End Market and the Orlando Museum of Art, to a private room in the Lake Eola Park area of the city, there are tons of reasonably priced Airbnb rental options that will allow you to have your own space for unwinding and relaxing, either sharing an apartment or home, or staying where the owner is absent.
Alfond Inn boutique hotel in Winter Park is near sightseeing venues such as Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens. Enjoy the luxuries that this Tuscan-style hotel has to offer in design and comforts like complimentary toiletries. In the central area of Orlando, there is an array of boutique and independent hotels offered, such as the family friendly Grand Bohemian Hotel Orlando and the cozy Eo Inn and Spa that offers complimentary wireless Internet access and concierge services.
Numerous hotels are available near Orlando International Airport for the convenience of travelers on the go, including Quality Inn Orlando Airport, Hyatt Place Orlando Airport Northwest, Country Inn & Suites by Carlson Orlando Airport, Embassy Suites Orlando Airport, and Orlando Airport Marriott. These are not among the cheap hotels in Orlando, but location outweighs price.
With Orlando being synonymous with theme parks and thrill rides, it is most suited for family travel and getaways with children. The busiest times to visit are the end of May up through Labor Day, some long holiday weekends, during winter vacation holidays (from mid-December to early January), and of course during spring break (late March to mid-April) when both families with young children and groups of college students are most likely to travel.
It is best to try to book your transportation and hotel during the off-season if you want the lowest rates. To save money on hotel or motel rooms, travel a few weeks before or after school spring break occurs (generally around Easter), and just after Thanksgiving but before winter break in mid-December.
If you are planning to visit Universal Studios, as well as other parks in the area such as SeaWorld and Wet 'n Wild Orlando, it's a good idea to buy a FlexTicket, which allows you to visit several theme parks with one ticket. These tickets are valid for up to two weeks and have lower prices for children ages 3-9. Before heading out on your first sightseeing excursion, stop at Visit Orlando, the city's convention and visitors bureau. The staff here are available to help with questions about sites to see, can give you brochures chock full of coupons, and sell discount tickets for many attractions and sites.
Walt Disney World is in Lake Buena Vista, but the area also encompasses sections of Orlando the park. The famous Magic Kingdom Park, Islands of Adventures, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and even the La Nouba Cirque du Soleil Theater are in Lake Buena Vista. Both Hotel Plaza Boulevard and the areas along State Route 535 (Kissimmee-Vineland Road) and County Route 535 (Apopka-Vineland Road) are full of resorts, restaurants, and shops outside the main Walt Disney World area, providing serenity and an escape from the parks.
There are loads of museums and galleries in downtown Orlando. Some of these venues in this area include the Orlando Museum of Art, Mennello Museum of American Folk Art, Contemporary American Graphics Collection, and Creative Spirit Arts Gallery. Other options for things to see in downtown Orlando include the beautiful First Presbyterian Church of Orlando and the Back to Nature Wildlife Refuge.
The International Drive area has many activities and points of interest for families. These include such venues as Ripley's Believe It or Not! Orlando, with its 10,000-square-foot Odditorium; Titanic The Experience, taking visitors back in time; WonderWorks Orlando, an upside-down science laboratory; Florida Dolphin Tours, and the Coco Key Water Resort. Park your car and use the I-Ride Trolley local transportation system when visiting sightseeing attractions along International Drive. It is much easier to enjoy yourself when you don't have to worry about finding a parking space everywhere you go.
There are many sporting events and outdoor activities to enjoy in the East Orlando area, both as a spectator and a participant, including Orlando Speed World Dragway and Eagle Wood Golf Club, a public course. The International Drive area is one of the best areas for adventure and sports venues at which visitors can have fun. These include skydiving at Sky Venture, Fun Sport Action Park, Vans Skatepark; and Putting Edge Fun Center, where you can play a round of miniature golf. The Country Club of Orlando, Capital One Bowl, and Champs Sports Bowl are all in the downtown Orlando area.
Outside of Universal Studios Florida, there is an array of activities and things to see in the area. Some of these include Thomas Kinkade Signature Gallery; the cartoon-themed water park, Toon Lagoon; Universal Orlando Resort, and concerts at many venues in the area.
Kissimmee is a city south of Orlando. In addition to motels which are cheaper than those in Orlando, Kissimmee is home to such venues as Dinosaur World, the world's largest dinosaur attraction, and the Happy Days Family Fun Center in the Old Town area. While you're in Old Town, enjoy the area's shopping, entertainment, and dining venues. To round out a day of family fun in Kissimmee, take the kids to the Green Meadows Petting Farm, a petting zoo containing farm animals such as cows, pigs, and goats; plus pony, hay, and train rides.
If you are staying in Sanford and have brought your boat with you, visit Lake Jesup Park, primarily used as a boat launch area for Lake Jesup. The parking lot is also used by visitors to the 490-acre Lake Jesup Wilderness Area.
If you are planning to stay north of Orlando in Winter Park, there are a wealth of activities and sightseeing attractions for you to enjoy. Visit "The Land of Flowers" at the Harry P. Leu Gardens, where you can stroll along stone paths, marveling at dozens of exotic plants in this botanical garden. If you are interested in the art, visit the Cornell Fine Arts Museum. If science interests you, vvisit the Orlando Science Center.
Gray Line Orlando offers tours to suit many interests, They offer such activities as deep sea fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, a Swim Where the Manatees Live tour, and an excursion to the Kennedy Space Center (Cape Canaveral) tour.
Taxis are readily available at most hotels in the Orlando area. There are many taxi options at your disposable through companies such as Yellow Cab and Ace Metro. Rates can range from $1.75 to $3.25 per mile. Since the meter runs up very quickly, it is best to try to arrange a flat rate for your ride. Ask the staff at your hotel's front desk for the typical rates from their property to the attraction you want to visit. Taxis are affordable if you are traveling with a group. However, driving is usually a better transportation option.
The Lynx bus system makes tourist sites like Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and the I-Drive area more accessible. Fares are $2 for adults, $1 for children 7 to 18, and free for children 6 years old and under. It is more economical to buy an express or daily pass instead paying per ride. The Mears transportation system offers buses to major attractions including Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Kennedy Space Center, and even Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in Tampa. The rates depend upon your starting and ending points; it is best to double-check with your hotel's concierge, as most of them use these shuttles at the request of their guests.
Driving in Orlando is an affordable mode of transportation for visitors. However, if you're not familiar with the area, it is best to ask questions about safety and neighborhoods to which you are planning to travel before you leave the hotel. The speed limit on most highways and interstates ranges from 55 to 70 miles per hour, with the limit being lower on local roads. Follow the driving laws, wear a seat belt, do not drink while driving, and do not make calls on, or answer, your cell phone. (You can send text messages on a restricted basis while driving.) Know your exit before setting out on Interstate 4, the main southwest to northeast highway that connects you to all major attractions in Orlando.
It is imperative to drive defensively in tourist areas, since you will see people with various driving styles from across the globe. Remember that during the peak season, when the area has countless visitors, it is nearly impossible to use public transportation, since buses, not having room for another passenger, will likely not stop for you. Visitors staying close to the major attractions will likely not need a car.
Visit Orlando, the city's convention and visitors bureau, has made it even easier to venture around town with up-to-date mobile apps and programs to help with touring the city. Some of the amazing apps that are available include Visit Orlando's official visitor guide, Walt Disney World Resort's theme parks app featuring GPS maps to help point you in the right direction, and the Orlando Park ParkIn' mobile app tool which assists with locating information about parking in and around downtown Orlando.

The US-based investment firm has taken a non-controlling stake in the portfolio, which is also owned by GE Financial Services, operator Atlantic Power Corporation and service provider Ruby Renewable Resources.
The portfolio consists of 11 projects near Twin Falls, southern Idaho. It uses 122 of GE's 1.5MW and was commissioned in 2010.
The cluster of projects will fall within MIC's Contracted Power and Energy portfolio, which, with this investment, stands at approximately 96MW and is made up of two wind projects and some solar developments.
Last month, MIC's parent group, the Australian-based Macquarie Group, was in talks to acquire a 112MW portfolio of Italian wind projects.

Okay I am stuck, and although I am half considering switching over to bangers for their frankly impressive knockouts, can anyone help fix the problem I am having finding a decent 2 star to fill these holes?
I have 3 clans in both of these decks, don't know if the links are needed as well as the names, so here they are.
Display Skeelz, Sentinel Half
Obviously Dayton will be leveled up if this deck is used.
Display Skeelz, La Junta Half
I sometimes swap Bryan in as a 4 star here, I am not yet decided on the situational 1htko of dacote being worth it, I am sure most good players can see it coming but at least if gives them pause.
I have a very full freaks selection I could pair up instead, or I could work on my bangers selection. I was saving for a CR, so I can buy any none CR card to alter the decks a bit.
Any ideas please? I dislike Wilhem on the skeelz side, as I find him very situational, and I have enough of that in the deck already. I am okay for stoppers but could use a booster in power or attack perhaps, at a push another stopper. I am okay with a 5/3 split at a push too, if you think its worth getting thromund for the boost in power in the 5/3 split.
Amm, those decks are totally ineffective in any way You play it I say... I'll try to point whats is wrong here, lets take a look at the first deck, Coby and Sasha are support ability based cards, so it salready bad that they are in half decks, not in mono clan, its just a waste of abbilities... Copper and Lehane are great, Dayton will do, but I'd put Melvin in Coby's place, he can hit his 4 damage sometimes and he always is a damage reducer... Wardog totally out, its no point keeping him, there are useable 2* cards in skeelz, Liam is great 2* and deffinately should replace Wardog, I would also put Redra in Sasha's place, Sasha will mostly be a 7/2 +8 attack card, I'd rather use two damage reducers in this deck... another thing is Corvus, he would be good if he has 4 damage to fit Copper, but with this 3 damage he isnt good... You have 1 star to spend from swiching Coby to Melvin, so You can put in Caelus if unbanned, or I'd suggest Aylen, she will do great with two damage reducers in 1 deck...
second deck looks much better, especially as a gheist/roots counter, but I would still put Liam over Lehane, she totally kills most Gheist cards, Toro, zero dead, arkn, weakens methane, kills their new 4* card, and kills some of roots quite playable cards, like gretian... overall I'd use Liam and Redra in those decks, You'll find how useable damage reducers are in elo
Torrential Veteran Sunday 13/06/2010, 15:33
Firstly thanks for the in depth reply, it was appreciated. I had also come to realise coby is the weak link at 4 stars I have him in my most of my half decks, but I hadn't found a suitable replacement, thank you for the ideas. I'll disagree a bit on Sasha lacking a bit, in the light of none DR useful 2 stars from the skeelz deck, she doesn't come in bad in the average split clan hand at 7 1/2 power, but I can see your points on Damage reduction being needed, especially as it makes sense given that bangers have been walking over me in most matches in normal mode too.
I just bought Caelus from advice in general, so everyone thought alike there, expensive but worth it in most hands I think. I'll have to grit my teeth and take a couple of 6 power DR reducers I guess . In normal I have got so used to pill manipulation with Corvus and the possibility of a 10 Revenge attack with Chiara, I hadn't paid much attention to damage reduction, as my power level could usually be boosted enough to beat any opponent, with even a half successful bluff.
Time to work in some DR and 2 hit knockouts I guess , thanks again for the help.
Caelus is one of the best cards out there, but he is always banned in elo... trouble with this deck is Caelus and Copper often banned, so its almost impossible to use it in elo... for DT, there are hundreds of better decks (18-19* for T1 or 10 cards 26* in T2), and in survivor elo the same problem with Caelus banned... overall You wont use this deck too much anywhere... consider using Aylen, redra and melvin in elo, Copper isnt banned every week so this deck will be often useable and should do good, at lest to 1300 elo...
Torrential Veteran Sunday 13/06/2010, 22:57
I just want to say your advice was like a bolt of lightening , I just won the last 4 elo matches cleanly using it. The deck looks quite a lot different, but I took everything you said to heart and built around it, so thanks again!

Beltran Hits 3. Can you say "CONTRACT"?
4 comments:
- AnonymousMay 17, 2011 at 1:19 PM
Hi Joe. I come here every day to see your take on the games and I enjoy your passion for a team that gives so many of us so much angst. I noticed that Amazin' Avenue doctored this piece and then the fans used it to fuel their rage about their take on contract myth. Your work has certainly provoked conversation and controversy which is what their web site is all about. Thanks for sharing your lifelong passion for the Mets. Unfortunately, there will always be people out there waiting for you to slip up so that they can take you down. All the while they get to hide behind their ficticious screen names and trash your good name. May I offer some advice? Never respond to comments when they are from negative people calling you an idiot. They enjoy keeping the ugliness of their comments going and are sitting around hopeful that they will draw you into some kind of rebuttal. What have they ever created and shared with the world risking scrutiny and in this case, contempt? Your thoughts are YOURS and you shouldn't have to excuse yourself for them. Thanks for letting us in on the journey to completing a year full of drawings. Everyday the blog is anticipated and appreciated by me as well as thousands of others. Keep drawing and I hope the journey continues and you finish what you started. LGM!ReplyDelete

"Coupon Guy" to speak Nov. 13
Joe Daugirdas, also known as The Coupon Guy, has been honing his shopping skills in the Northeast Ohio area for many years. He has built his saving ways to the point where he typically saves 70 to 80 percent when shopping for groceries and over 90 percent for toiletries. Much of what he purchases is then donated to charitable organizations such as the Cleveland Food Bank and local churches.
Using his shopping skills, Daugirdas began teaching the "Savvy Shopper" class at Lakeland Community College in Kirtland, Ohio. He has also taught classes on how to save money on gasoline/natural gas, weddings, travel, and a class for teenagers. He has been active with Junior Achievement in schools across the Cleveland area, teaching pre-teens and teens the value of fiscal responsibility as they enter adulthood.
Daugirdas will come to Columbus State on Tuesday, November 13 from 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. to give a presentation on saving money through couponing. The session is free and open to the public in Nestor Hall room 342. The presentation is co-sponsored by Student Engagement and Leadership and the Ohio Benefits Bank.

Dr. Owens presented on the new fall protection hazards standards and update.
Dean Bortz spoke about the new workplace and transport hazard pictogram requirements currently being implemented which become mandatory on January 1, 2015. The conference was an excellent opportunity to present the CSET Department and Columbus State to this ever-growing market segment for employment and career opportunity.
