Difference between revisions of "Ulaanbaatar"
Revision as of 08:35, 27 March 2012
Ulaanbaatar (Улаанбаатар) [28], also Ulan Bator or simply just UB, is the capital and, with a population of around 2,300,000, also the largest city in Mongolia. In fact, according to recent estimates, this means approximately 60% of the country lives here. It is located just east of the center of the country.
Ulaanbaatar has a long history, and is only now undergoing an industrial revolution. UB is one of the most drab looking cities on the face of the planet, a travesty really, considering it's the capital of one the most beautiful and hospitable countries on earth. Still, as traditionalists, Mongolians love their capital. They understand that it is not an Asian beauty, but in their hearts they are aware of the city's history, culture and many struggles. Foreigners who take the time to get to know the faces that are hidden behind the gray walls will discover a hospitable and warm-hearted people. Explore the city from different angles, while at the same time do not ignore the abject poverty of many of the ex-nomads who in recent years have come to the city to find work after severe winters have killed their livestock. In this way, you will learn to unlock the city's many secrets and discover an Ulaanbaatar that is not initially revealed to the casual visitor.
Although summer temperatures are around 20°C, the city shivers in sub-zero temperatures for five months of the year, with January and February being the coldest months with temps hovering between -15°C to -30°C. As a result of these prolonged periods of intense cold, the city has an average annual temperature of -1.3°C, giving it the dubious distinction of being the world's coldest capital.
Peace Avenue (Enkh Taivny Örgön Chölöö) is the main street and it stretches from east to west through the center. It's the main shopping street and many of the restaurants are along it. The street also passes by the southern edge of the central square, Sükhbaatar Square. Tourist information office is located in the south flank of the Town-hall in the western corner of Suhbaatar square.
If you have breathing problems be aware that Ulaanbaatar has high levels of Air Pollution [29], But the countryside air away from the cities is gorgeous.
Get in
By plane
The majority of visitors arrive in Mongolia through Chinggis Khaan International Airport (IATA: ULN), which is located 18 km to the southwest of Ulaanbaatar. Many locals still call the airport by its old name "Bouyant Uka". The airport was reconstructed in 1990, and the immigration, customs formalities and luggage delivery are relatively efficient.
MIAT [30] (Mongolian Airlines) offers direct international flights to the city from Berlin, Moscow, Irkutsk, Seoul, Beijing,Hong Kong and Tokyo. Domestic flights from ULN to Dalanzadgad, Moron, Khovd, Bulgan Khovd, Altai, and Arvaikheer are also available. Korean Air also flies daily from Seoul to ULN. Air China flies to and from Beijing. The Russian airline Aeroflot flies daily between Moscow and Ulaanbaatar.
By train
Direct (but long) journeys are possible from Moscow, Russia and Beijing, China on the Trans-Mongolian line of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Trains also run to the Chinese border towns of Erlian and Jining 3-4 times a week. There's also a daily train to/from Irkutsk in Russia.
Trains from Beijing run once a week (on Tuesdays) and seats can only be reserved at the International Hotel in Beijing (a ten minute walk north of the main Beijing rail station). The journey takes about 30 hours. Packing a face mask might be a good idea as sandstorms in the Gobi desert may cause difficulty in breathing.
By car
As there are barely any paved roads in Mongolia, the few ones that exist, lead to Ulaanbaatar. Navigating in Mongolia on a paved road is very easy because you just have to follow that ONE road (compared to driving on tracks, where there are hundreds of possibilities...).
Coming from the north the paved road starts at the Russian Border. Coming from the south (the Gobi) the paved road starts at Choir. Coming from the north-east the paved road starts at Bulgan [31].
By bus
Once in the country, it should not be difficult to find a bus going to UB, at least from larger towns. However, bus stops are difficult to locate, with buses usually just stopping in populated areas. Furthermore, Mongolian buses are notorious for being late and on some routes for not even arriving on the scheduled day. Domestic buses usually go to Dragon Center (СХД18-р хороо, 18072 Улаанбаатар), Teevriin Tovchoo (near Main Railway Station ) and the eastern bus station near the Botanical Gardens (the Gardens are completely destroyed, but the location is well known to the locals).
Get Around
By taxi
Taxis are cheap, charging around T300-600 per kilometer (500 per km as of Aug 2010), but a foreigner will get overcharged easily. A ride from the airport to the citycenter should cost you no more than T7,000, but most drivers will try to charge you a minimum of T15,000. You may get a better and more reliable deal by seeking out older drivers in their own cars, rather than the official yellow cabs. Younger drivers can sometimes get extremely opportunistic and try to hold you or your luggage at ransom until you pay them extraordinary amounts of money. Always negotiate the fare in advance and don't be fooled by tricks like "I meant 3,000 for each of you."
By bus
Buses are regular and have a fixed charge of T400. Electric trolley-buses cost T300 but are slower and run fewer routes. Smaller buses (really just vans), called micro-bus, are equally accessible at T300-500. These have someone who hangs out the window at each stop shouting the name of the destination in rapid Mongolian. A bit hard not to understand.
Many of the city buses go out to the edge of the city. Route 22, goes southwest to the Bird Farm along the Tuul River. Catch the bus at the Ard Cinema bus stop, the Cinema has been replaced by an Anod Bank. This bus stop is located on Bagatoiruu Street, from the central Post Office walk west along Peace Ave., At the Intersect with the traffic lights, cross the street and turn right (north) half a block and you will reach a small square with the bus stop.
Bus #11 and #22 go to the Airport.
As in any city, be wary of pick pockets on the buses, especially when the buses are packed.
By foot
Walking is also an option as the city center is quite compact. Having only one main Avenue, Ulaanbaatar stretches from east to west and it's also easy to draw a mental map. but getting around ger districts can be puzzling. Get a good city map at the Mongolian Government Map shop. Located on Ih Toiruu Street. West from the State Department Store three blocks, the first intersection with traffic lights, turn right (North) about one half block, on the east side of the street you will see a yellow and blue Elba Appliance store, the Map Shop is behind and inline with the North wall of the Elba. But purchasing map from the airport would help save you a lot of time. finding specific places or offices by address is quite challenging because locals will usually tell you the places by nearest landmarks such as West Junction (supposed to be Undsen Huuliin gudamj) and Urt Tsagaan (which is Tourist Street1) and along the department store (Peace avenue) sometimes locals will not know any better than you as they too never seen some street names put on the streets. specially when you buy guide books, look for books with pictures printed so that it would help you ask locals about places rather than only showing written addresses with postal codes.
Note that most tourist sites have a separate camera/video fee (typically T5000-10000) in addition to the entrance fee.
City Tours
UB has a host of souvenir shops aimed at Western and East Asian tourists. While the quality of the goods varies, the price is always high.
How to get cash
Tellers at the Golomt Bank can give up to USD500 per day cash advance on Mastercard and Visa.
The only ATM machine to accept CIRRUS cards is the one at the airport.
It is relatively easy to find an ATM with a VISA logo to withdraw cash. As long as your ATM, debit or credit card has the VISA logo, you can withdraw tögrög, the local currency. Other card types are also accepted, simply not as widely, for example, the machines in the central Post Office and main street will not accept foreign MasterCards although they bear the logo. The machines in Golomt Bank branches are more reliable. Also on the 2nd floor of the State Department Store you can find on ATM accepting foreign cards. The more expensive shops take credit cards, but almost everywhere else runs strictly on cash. Note that most credit card companies will pass on the 3% "foreign currency conversion fee" to you.
There are many exchange offices in the center along Peace Avenue to change your currency into tugrugs. One is on the ground floor of the State Department Store. Better rates are at the Exchange Center on the second floor of the Flower Center. The Flower Center is located on Peace Ave. one block west of the Post Office. At the corner with traffic lights between the Post Office and State Department Store. Large Hotels like the Ulaanbaatar Hotel one block east of Sükhbaatar Square will exchange money 24/7 at the reception, which may be your only option if you arrive very late in the day.
Nobody travels to Mongolia for the food, but Ulaanbaatar has a good range of Western, Asian and Mongolian options. No other city this side of Beijing has close to a comparable selection. Even better, meals here are quite reasonable. You can get perfectly reasonable pizza for $3, even a night out at a fancy French cafe shouldn't pass $20. Consider splurging on a couple good meals here, especially if headed out for a long trek into the country. Be aware that fresh vegetables, especially in winter, are hard to come by and expensive.
Korean (solongos khoolnee gazar) and Chinese restaurants dominate the city. As Asian restaurants in America tend to tailor their menu to the American palate, so in Ulaanbaatar do the East Asian restaurants tailor their menu to the Central Asian palate.
Throughout Ulaanbaatar are many small Гуанз and Цайны Газар's. Try one of these for cheap Mongolian food. Buuz usually costs from 350 to 400 Togrog. Most universities have a good cafeteria for cheap eats starting from 1800 MNT (1.2 USD) ~ 2500 MNT (1.5 USD). Mongolian National Univeristy and Mongolian University of Science and Technology (both near the North East block from the Parliment Buidling) have good cafeterias. All university cafeterias have nutritionsits so at least you know you are getting all the basic nutrients when you eat here. from the British
Nightlife in Ulaanbaatar is surprisingly wild, but is best not experienced alone — try to get a local to join you. Most of the night clubs play Trance, Techno, Electronic and House music, few clubs play hip hop music. The small clubs in the 3rd district and the Sansar micro district are best avoided. Be sure to apologize if you hit someone or step on their feet accidentally, because some Mongolians can be offended by it.
Beer in clubs costs about 3500 tögrög ($3), other drinks such as vodka depend on measurements, for example a 100g Vodka costs about 4500 tögrög($4) The club life is very active on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. On Fridays it is very hard to find a seat in a club. According to state law all clubs and pubs (bars) must be closed after midnight, but some clubs run until 4 o'clock in the morning. Never go alone in the dark, especially on Fridays. Also never walk by yourself when you are drunk, or you may be arrested and end up in the drunk tank, not a pleasant place to be.
You can also find some nice pubs in the capital.
Nowadays, budget accommodation in Ulaanbaatar tends to give the best deals for a traveller. Usually a bed in a clean dormitory costs about $5-10 and a double room should be under $30 a night. Good mid-range options are sparse. Note that during the annual Naadam festival it is almost impossible to get any kind of accommodation in UB without prior reservations.
A Hilton was under construction and is likely to recommence in 2012.
There is a Shangri-La being built towards the Embassey district that will open in 2013.[34]
Cell phone operators offer both prepaid GSM sim cards and handset rentals (Currently Mobicom) as well as extensive roaming options for your convenience.
Stay safe
UB has a high crime rate which explains all the steel bars and security guards in apartment buildings and larger stores. Pickpocketing is common and violent muggings are increasing so it is advisable to avoid walking alone after dark. Street lighting is unreliable and the city is frequented by drunks and stray dogs. The places where pickpocketing is the most frequent are buses and the Sunny-Tuul market (alias Naran-Tuul market, or Black market), specially the entrances of them. The bus stops close to the State department stores are hot spots for this activity. If you've been attacked or pick-pocketed, please take time to make a deposition at the district police station, and to say it to your embassy if you have one. Most sidewalks are not paved and so can be very muddy and slippery during a thaw or after rain. Walking on the streets at any time is a hazardous affair as one needs to contend with ice from about October to March, open manholes and extremely chaotic and wild driving habits. Drivers (including buses and police) pay no attention to pedestrian crossings and will not reduce speed, but simply sound their horns. The automobile culture in this city is too new to have developed safe driving systems and habits.
Unmarked taxis are common and shouldn't be feared. Locals simply stick out an arm and hitchhike anywhere around town. However, it is wise to get a local to interpret if possible and explain the fare system.
Child beggars are common and persistent on the streets, but watch out for groups of them, as one may be trying to pick your pocket. Also be aware that any money you do donate will go straight to their teenage "pimps", and so you may not be helping them as much as you think. Most of the "pimps" are their relatives or friends and the kids actually come from poor families and it does help them.
Walking at night in company shouldn't be too great of a concern, it isn't for the locals. But stick to areas where you can see lots of locals (especially women). Coming out of Bars late at night is a little dangerous if you are alone, try to have several males in your group.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...These cookies have much to recommend them. The recipe for them was developed by Giada DeLaurentis and it has received rave reviews on the Food Network Site. I especially like these fruit bars because they transport well, and while I think they're delicious, I take certain precautions to assure great results that everyone will enjoy. I only make these cookies when I have really good apricot jam or preserves in my pantry. Fortunately, I have a friend who sends me several jars of my favorite preserves at Christmas time. They are made by Harvest Song and they have the ability to make an ordinary fruit bar truly outstanding. This recipe also works well with dried cherries and cherry preserves. These bars are completely dependent on the quality of the ingredients used to make them and I urge you to not to stint if you decide to give them a try. Make sure your jam tastes more of fruit than sugar and that you use a good butter with a low moisture content. The cookies come together quickly and they will keep for several days if they are properly stored. I think you will like these and I hope you will give them a try. Here's the recipe.
Apricot Oatmeal Bars...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Giada DeLaurentis
8 dried apricots, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces (about 1/3 cup)
1 packed cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1-3/4 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup (4 ounces) coarsely chopped walnuts
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 egg, at room temperature, beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1) Move an oven rack to center of oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 x 2-inch metal baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. Line bottom and sides of pan with parchment paper. Spray parchment paper with vegetable oil cooking spray and set aside.
2) To make filling: Mix jam and snipped apricots together in a small bowl. Set aside.
3) To make crust: Whisk flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and baking soda together in a large bowl. Stir in oats and walnuts. Add butter, egg and vanilla and stir until incorporated.
4) Using a fork or clean damp fingers, lightly press half of crust mixture onto bottom of prepared pan. Using a spatula, spread filling over crust leaving a 1/2-inch border around edge of pan. Cover filling with remaining crust mixture and gently press to flatten. Bake until light golden, about 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 1 hour. Cut into bars and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Hi Jacqueline
Sadly it's not a whole page...this time.
Having said that - if there are any commissioning editors out there who would like a whole page then please don't be shy. If asked nicely, I might even be persuaded to write a book....(who am I kidding - a publisher could ask rudely and I'd still say yes)!

More Features, More Fun.
More Features, More Fun.
Mercury FourStrokes have long led the pack with clean, quiet, fuel-efficient outboard power, and now the gap grows even wider. Whether you pilot a small fishing boat or a party on a big pontoon, there's a Mercury FourStroke that fits the bill.
The 40, 50 and 60hp models are available with either standard or BigFoot gearcases. BigFoot models are perfect for pontoons and large boats, while the standard gearcases are ideal for aluminum fishing boats, bay boats, and inflatable boats.
No matter the size, these FourStroke outboards are a pleasure to drive. Mercury engineers have created a unique design for easier shifting and refined the throttle resolution setting for smoother low-speed operation. Plus, every 40-60hp FourStroke features a single-latch cowl system for easy, quick release.
Easy Starts. Smooth Running.
The 40-60hp Mercury engines are Electronically Fuel-Injected, which provides turn-key starting, increased power, improved fuel economy, and spectacular reliability.
Peace Of Mind
Engine Guardian uses key external sensors to monitor all the major functions of your engine. If the proactive operator-warning system detects a potential problem – such as over-revving, overheating, or low oil pressure – Engine Guardian sends out an alert and automatically reduces engine power enough to prevent damage, but still allows you to get to shore.
Superior Corrosion Protection
Mercury FourStrokes deliver powerful saltwater protection by using stainless steel components, hard anodizing, engineered polymers, and an exclusive multistep painting and coating process. Saltwater maintenance is made easy in the 40-60hp models with the innovative freshwater flush. And only Mercury offers a three-year limited corrosion failure warranty.
Quicker is Better
Large-displacement dual overhead cam increases low-end power. Mercury FourStrokes consistently outperform the competition in 0-30 mph acceleration.
Easy Shifting
The precision engineered shift system in every 40-60hp FourStroke delivers smooth, positive shifting for an improved driving experience.
Slow but Steady
Every 40-60hp SmartCraft-equipped FourStroke features Troll Control, which allows you to set your engine speed as low as 700 rpm for trolling or running through extended no-wake zones.
Clean Power
All Mercury FourStroke engines are designed to run clean, helping to protect the environment for generations to come. Every Mercury mid-range FourStroke engine carries a CARB Three-star Ultra-low Emissions rating.
Gauge Your Fuel Economy
Introducing the new ECO-Screen feature of the SmartCraft MercMonitor. The ECO-Screen constantly monitors engine RPM, speed, fuel consumption and engine trim to automatically calculate and guide you to your maximize fuel efficiency. This user-friendly feature utilizes yellow and green display colors to signify when you're operating at your optimal efficiency. This can result in a 10-20% increase in fuel economy.

- Janie M.
"I repotted it in the Imperial Monterey Orchid Mix that I had on hand, with a sad bloom or two still trying to hang on. Since then, it began growing new roots and leaves. The spike even began to grow/elongate, adding new buds, and rewarded me with 7 new blooms, the size of your palm. A testament that your products work wonders."
- Cindy S.

- Suzanne S.

- Joanne G.
"Since I had such success with that mix and the Paph mix, I have converted some of my Phals to the Imperial Mix...they are showing the same results. Strong growth, good roots and spikes. Your mixes are always fresh and distinctive. I have found nothing on the market like them and recommend them to all my orchid friends. Not sure what you put in them but keep it up."
- Cindy B.
"I had to write to you to tell you how much my orchids love your mixes. The first one tried was the Oncidium Imperial Mix. They doubled in size and needed to be repotted or divided after a year. I then tried the (Paph and Phrag) mix and again, success As you say, You Know Mixes. Thanks for keeping your commitement!"
- Cynthia B.
"I received the potting mix and I have to say that it is wonderful!! I was skeptical to spend a little extra money for the bark mix when I can go to Lowe's and get it for a fraction of the price. But...your mix speaks for itself! So clean, nice and easy to work with. It's the best and I plan on buying for you all again and again. Thanks so much!!"

"From beginning to end, rePotme has created a customer EXPERIENCE that is superior and delightful. The informative website contained many articles and videos that were extremely helpful to me as an orchid novice. There, I was guided to a potting mix (one of many!) that I wanted to try out. The checkout process was a breeze, and I especially enjoyed the fact that I could sign on with my Amazon account and did not have to create a brand new account"
Pauline L.
"I have received my new Carousel Orchid Pot and Saucer in Orange Amber. I love it!! I would like to let you know that before I opened the wrapping to each piece (wrapped separately for those who may read this), rePotme won me over. Not only did I receive it within the expected time frame, your method and precise detail to packing it impressed me the most. It may not seem important to some, but I really appreciated it"
Noemia W.
"My order arrived today and not only am I impressed with the speed of delivery, and how carefully it was all packed, but the quality of everything really surpassed my expectations. Between the supplies I ordered and your fantastic website with instructional texts, photos and videos, I feel very confident to move up to the next level of orchid growing"

From that classic formula things can, of course, get more inventive and Rick shares with us one of the more unusual, though still classically grounded enchiladas on Chef Ricardo Munoz-Zurita's menu: an enchilada of jamaica, or dried hibiscus flowers that tastes like a cross between pickled beets and cabbage.

DENVER A suspected member of a notorious Salvadoran gang wanted for a Colorado slaying is now one of the FBIs Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.
Edwin Ernesto Rivera Gracias was added to the list Thursday. Hes wanted in Jefferson County for 2011 stabbing death of Richard Limon, 69, of Denver, a family acquaintance of Rivera Gracias girlfriend. Limons body was found alongside a road in a popular recreation area west of Denver known as Lookout Mountain that includes the gravesite of Buffalo Bill.
Three other suspects already have pleaded guilty to taking part in the killing, including a man authorities said held Limons legs while Rivera Gracias wrapped duct tape around Limons head to try to suffocate him. When that didnt work, Rivera Gracias stabbed Limon nine times with a steak knife, which broke when it punctured his heart, authorities said.
The blade of the knife is left in Mr. Limons body. Horrific, brutal, heinous murder, said Jefferson County District Attorney Peter Weir. An extraordinarily dangerous individual. Justice will be done. ... Were confident that he is going to be apprehended.
According to an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court, Rivera Gracias talked about killing Limon because of allegations he molested Rivera Gracias girlfriend, who was the daughter of Limons wife.
Jefferson County District Attorney spokeswoman Pam Russell said those allegations were never reported to authorities.
Rivera Gracias is suspected of being a member of the Mara Salvatrucha gang, or MS-13, with ties to other gang members in Colorado, Los Angeles and El Salvador. He is believed to be hiding in El Salvador. Members of the gang, who cover themselves in tattoos, have been linked by authorities to drug trafficking, drive-by shootings and contract killings.
The FBI is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to Rivera Gracias arrest. FBI Denver Special Agent in Charge James Yacone said anyone spotting Rivera Gracias should contact authorities and not try to apprehend him.
Without their assistance, without their cooperation and without their energy, we would not have any hope at all of bringing this individual back into this country to face this murder charge, said Jefferson County Sheriff Ted Mink of the FBIs placement of Rivera Gracias on the list.
The three suspects who have pleaded guilty in the case: Raul Nunez-Soto, 48, second-degree murder, sentenced in October to 48 years in prison; Rivera Gracias girlfriend, Nena Moya, 28, accessory to commit murder, sentenced to two years in prison; and Limons wife, whom he sometimes referred to as his daughter, Tina Moya, 40, second-degree murder. She will be sentenced Wednesday.
The vacancy on the list was created when Joe Luis Saenz, a murder suspect, was captured in November.

Many people could be saving money on premiums and prescriptions, and don't even know it. Recently, a 90-year-old woman in Oklahoma came to her local State Health Insurance Counseling and Assistance Program (SHIP) because she was unable to pay for her prescriptions and her Medicare Part D premium.
A counselor at the SHIP helped her apply for Extra Help and found her a new Part D plan that better fit her needs. Now she spends no money on her premium and very little on her prescriptions – saving her thousands of dollars over the course of the year. She is just one of many people that can save money – and you could be one too.
Medicare Savings Programs
If your monthly income is less than $1,277 ($1,723 as a couple), you may be able to save money with these 4 different Medicare Savings Programs that help pay for premiums and more:
- Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB) Program
- Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB)
- Qualified Individual (QI) Program
- Qualified Disabled and Working Individuals (QDWI)
Each program has a different monthly income limit – get more information about the 2012 limits and how to find out if you qualify.
Extra Help
Many people with limited income and resources may qualify for Medicare's "Extra Help" program, but they must apply to find out. You could be one of them. You may qualify if you have up to $16,755 in yearly income ($22,695 for a married couple) and up to $13,070 in resources ($26,120 for a married couple). Get more information about Medicare's "Extra Help" program.
You can get help with Part D prescription drug coverage premiums, deductibles and copayments. This means you don't have to go without medications because you can't afford them, and can get help just like our 90-year-old friend in Oklahoma.
It's easy and free to apply for "Extra Help."
Save money, live well, and share the information.

MONTROSE, Ga. — Officials say a fiery pileup involving more than two dozen vehicles on a Georgia interstate today has left at least three people dead and nine others hurt.
A petroleum tanker truck also caught fire in the wrecks that happened this morning near Montrose on Interstate 16, a major artery between Savannah and Macon.
The Georgia State Patrol says nine people were hurt.
Laurens County EMS Director Terry Cobb says at least six vehicles were still on fire when crews arrived. The state patrol says there were four separate crashes involving 27 vehicles.
Officials said poor visibility likely played a big part. Weather forecasts called for dense fog this morning.

There was an epoch wherein the pursuit of a post K-12 education, or even a high school degree, might be career related. I'm old, so I remember the Board of Education throwing my fate to hired guns (aka counselors) who claimed to understand how humans will travel through time and what *my* personal vehicle should be.
(Click Here to read Part One)
There was an epoch wherein the pursuit of a post K-12 education, or even a high school degree, might be career related. I'm old, so I remember the Board of Education throwing my fate to hired guns (aka counselors) who claimed to understand how humans will travel through time and what *my* personal vehicle should be.
They determined my aptitudes through testing, scholastic achievement (none), whether or not we were cheerleaders, athletes, etc. With a loud, resounding kathunk, they attempted to staple our futures to a standard form, then we were off to the armed services, trade school/associate degree or college. Back in those days, and notwithstanding the price of even the most prestigious institutions, even a self-resourced college education was possible, even meaningful.
This was a temporary situation, even if it lasted 50(?) or more years. Robotics and extra-national capitalism eventually ate (and will continue to devour) manufacturing jobs for lunch while inflation increases faster than wages. And because the apparent unfettered distribution of wealth falls heavily in favor of those who *own* the robots, we live in a nation littered with underemployed, unemployed and untold millions who just gave up.
Government and entrenched power pretends that American exceptionalism will continue, as if by magic, as if power hasn't been protecting its own interests, as if government hasn't been squandering limited (read borrowed) resources on guns instead of butter. Government and conscience-constrained, conscience-challenged corporations continue to *just say no to the middle class.*
To further complicate and/or suggest the necessity for a momentum shift, I propose that futurework will require indefinable skills (although, most certainly, to include high technical and mathematics acumen), set in an interminable future. With the possible exception of some trades, a new career term will be only a few years, not a lifetime. So if teachers intend to imbue students with skills necessary to survive in the new competitive work environment, are teachers willing to drink some of their own cool-aid, that is, re-tool their teaching habits when the need arises?
I humbly suggest that the *adults* who shape our education future consider this; many may guess, but no person alive actually knows, what computer and/or life and/or career skills will look like in five years, much less 20. But if trends portend the future, here are a few possibilities to consider before foisting old technology (like chalk, syllabus lectures and desktop computers) on today's students.
From the Harvard Business Review:
In a recent study, the Bureau of Labor statistics found that the average person... held eleven jobs between the ages of 18 and 46 — meaning a job-switch once every 2.5 years.
From my own Befeebled Brain...
Tablet and Smartphones are already the New Computer (at least for now, wearable computing is close): The move to tablets is not a race to the bottom, but rather a lateral shift to accommodate realistic user need. I applaud the shift, even though I resent the limited, useful life of my expensive, environmentally unfriendly computational hardware, currently about two-three years.
Touch, Voice, Eye Tracking, even *Thoughts* are the New Keyboard:
This might not be such a bad trend, except that (at best) the marginal keyboards on mobile devices have contributed to a new illiteracy, that is, substituting thoughtful, written text with IM slang, video and snapshots. While it's true that pictures can convey abstracted meaning, they're not a full time substitute for specificity or literacy. Which leads me to…
Voice and Pictures are the new Communications Mode:
Watch teenagers, they will not only be the first to use new modes, they might invent/re-purpose the new modes, Snapchat (relatively new) and Instagram (relatively old) being great examples. 2013 probably will not see the emergence of a more intelligent youth demographic. However, today's 3rd grader will have been raised from an early age with connected awareness, conventions and rapid change of technology driven reality. Watch out old folks, *these kids will rule.* Per the chatter of prior generations, "Be there or be square."

Profits from selling U.S. liquefied natural gas abroad may be elusive, belying the $60 billion race for export licenses as the price gap between Asia and North America shrinks from record levels.
The difference between U.S. and Asian gas is poised to drop by more than 60 percent by 2020, leaving exporters facing a loss of as much as $6 million per tanker, according to calculations by Bloomberg based on data from Rice University in Houston. The U.S. share of the global LNG market will be in "single digits," according to Royal Dutch Shell Plc, which has stakes in more than 25 percent of the world's liquefaction capacity.
As many as 16 applications for LNG export projects from Texas to Maryland and Oregon are being considered by the U.S. Department of Energy as companies look to follow Cheniere Energy Inc. in exploiting record price differentials between the U.S. and Japan, the world's largest consumer. Buyers from Tokyo to London are seeking supplies in the U.S., where prices are less than a third of those in Europe and a fifth of Asian costs.
"The idea that the world will be flooded with spot LNG is not going to happen," said Frank Harris, global head of LNG at Wood Mackenzie Ltd. in Edinburgh. "Returns are already getting squeezed. By the end of the decade, the LNG market looks better supplied, and spot cargoes from the U.S. won't necessarily look so attractive."
Losses Increasing
U.S. natural gas has risen 71 percent from a decade-low in April to $3.246 a million British thermal units in electronic trading today on the New York Mercantile Exchange. U.S. exports to Asia would help damp the Platts Japan-Korea Marker, a daily price assessment of Asia-bound LNG known as JKM, to a mean of $8.08 through 2020, from $17.80 yesterday, Rice University's James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy said in a study.
The average cost of shipping U.S. natural gas to Japan will be $9.05 from 2011 to 2020, assuming a U.S. price of $3.98, leaving a loss of $0.96 per million Btu taking into account the costs of transportation and liquefaction, the study shows.
Losses widen to $1.77 per million Btu in the decade to 2030 as the price at Louisiana's Henry Hub, the U.S. benchmark, rises to an average $4.69 and the JKM falls to $7.98, according to the study, published Aug. 10.
The loss to the U.K. is $0.49 through 2020 and $1.23 from 2021 to 2030. U.K. next-month gas, the European benchmark, today rose 0.1 percent today to the equivalent of $10.86 on London's ICE Futures Europe exchange.

She also realizes that online records don't give you the colorful details that can be gleaned from talking to older relatives, a practice that we at the Newberry encourage every genealogist to follow.

Isn't there a qualified candidate out there somewhere to take on Rep. Vicky Hartzler in the next primary election?
Isn't there a qualified candidate out there somewhere to take on Rep. Vicky Hartzler in the next primary election?
We hear from her only when she cuts a ribbon somewhere or when she has a news release about some local issue.
President Obama announced that the Nov. 30 deadline to sign up for small business Obamacare has now been changed (again) to November of 2014, oddly enough just after the election.
Not one single word from Hartzler or Sen. Roy Blunt. Obama cannot change what congress passed and these ineffective, go along to get along, make no wave Republicans never lift a finger to do anything about it.
As a congressperson, there are more duties to attend to other than going to your committee meetings and hearings.
Try standing up and making some noise for the folks back home for once. Vicky Hartzler is a mouse, as I refer to her, and we need someone to take a firm stand and get something done for us.
These people have such a fabulous gravy train with their big salary and outrageous perks that they aren't about to make any waves and upset that deal.
I want an "upsetter." We desperately need one!
