Rick Santorum on Jobs
Republican Jr Senator (PA)
Workers should have secret-ballot elections for unions
Rick initially voted in-favor of allowing states to decide right-to-work laws. These laws protect employees from having to join unions in order to work for a company.
Rick's Plan: As President, Rick Santorum will work to make unions accountable to their members. This includes supporting a National Right-to-Work law. Santorum will also appoint a new NLRB--without misusing recess appointments--that will protect workers and their right to join or not join a union. Rick also believes that secret-ballot elections should be the norm whenever a union seeks to represent workers. Source: Report on presidential campaign website ricksantorum.com , Feb 17, 2012
National right-to-work law yes; Pennsylvania law no
PAUL: There's obviously a problem with car companies here. We had to bail them out. But there are foreign companies that build cars in this country and they make a living out of this. I think the union problem vs. right-to-work states [is one reason we outsource jobs to China]. I've chided Sen. Santorum on this because he has voted against right-to-work. But we have to change these conditions to invite people back.
SANTORUM: I've already signed a pledge that I would sign a national right-to-work bill And when I was a senator from Pennsylvania, which is a state that is not a right-to-work state, the state made a decision not to be right to work. And I wasn't going to go to Washington and overturn that from the federal government and do that to the state.
PAUL: As president, are you going to represent South Carolina or Pennsylvania? That's really the question.
SANTORUM: I said I would support a national right-to-work law and sign it into law, and would support and advocate for one. Source: South Carolina 2012 GOP debate hosted by CNN's John King , Jan 19, 2012
Not doing any favors by keeping unemployment for 99 weeks
Q: Do you support extending unemployment benefits when they expire?
SANTORUM: We have to look at having a reasonable time for people to get a job and then turn their lives around. But, we've seen this administration extending benefits up to 99 weeks. I don't support that. I think if you have people who are out of work that long a period of time, without question it makes it harder to find work when you come back. When you're that far long away from a job, then you lose certain skills. I believe unemployment insurance should go back to the states. Let the states design it. But to have a federal program that roughly and crudely tries to assess the problem of unemployment from state to state and area to area, is the wrong approach. Give flexibility to the states to operate those programs, as we did on welfare; have either work requirement of job training required as a condition. We're not doing people any favors by keeping them on unemployment insurance for a long period of time. Source: Fox News debate on MLK Day in Myrtle Beach, SC , Jan 16, 2012
Unions are good community members but we need right-to-work
Q: [to Perry]: Do you support "right to work" laws on the federal level?
PERRY: Actually, it's a federal issue because of the law that was passed that forces the states to make a decision about whether or not they're going to be right to work. I'm a right to work guy.
SANTORUM: I have signed a pledge that I would support a national right to work. When I was a senator from Pennsylvania, I didn't vote for it because Pennsylvania's not a right to work state, and I didn't want to vote for a law that would change the law in Pennsylvania, number one. Number two, what can unions do? They can do training. They also do a lot in the community. I work with a lot of labor unions in Philadelphia and other places to do a lot of community involvement work and they try to participate as good members of the community like the business does.

Offshore jobs return if you repeal manufacturing regulations
Q: You've said that when you were growing up in a PA steel town, 21% of the country was involved in manufacturing. Now it's down to 9%. Can those jobs ever return?
SANTORUM: Yeah, the jobs can come back if you create a climate for them to be profitable We have a lot of manufacturers in Pennsylvania. I don't know a single one who wanted to ship their jobs offshore, who didn't want them in their own community to be able to employ people and see the fruits of their labor benefiting the community that they live in. What happened was we became uncompetitive. So we need to be competitive. And that's why I proposed taking the corporate tax from 35% and eliminating it, zero percent tax. Allow this to be the manufacturing capital of the world again. Repeal every regulation the Obama administration has put in place that's over $100 million. Repeal them all. You may have to replace a few, but let's repeal them all because they are all antagonistic to businesses, particularly in the manufacturing sector.

Public employee unions have bankrupted states
Q: 22 states in the US are right-to-work states. In the other 28, if a business is a union shop, you have to join the union if you want to work there. Would you support some form of a federal right-to-work law?
SANTORUM: I think the most important area that we have to focus in on when it comes to unions is public employee unions. That's the area of unionization that's growing the fastest and it's costing us the most money. We've seen these battles on the state level--where unions have really bankrupted states from pension plans--to here on the federal level. I do not believe that state or federal workers should be involved in unions. And I would actually support a bill that says that we should not have public employee unions for the purposes of wages and benefits to be negotiated. Source: 2011 GOP Google debate in Orlando FL , Sep 22, 2011
Focus the Fed on sound money, rather than job creation
Q: What is your position on the Federal Reserve?
A: What we should do with the Fed is to make it a single charter instead of a dual charter. I think the second charter that was instituted that had it be responsible for increasing employment and dealing with that leads to a fundamental distrust among the American people that they are taking their eye off the ball, which is sound money. They should be a sound money Federal Reserve. That should be their single charter, and that is it. Source: 2011 GOP Tea Party debate in Tampa FL , Sep 12, 2011
The federal government kills jobs!
Q: Can a president create jobs without expanding the role of the federal government?
A: The federal government kills jobs! We don't need more programs & bureaucrats telling business how to operate. I believe in free people to grow our economy not government. I proposed getting America making things again. A 0% corporate tax rate on all manufacturing, cut regulations and drill for oil and gas Source: 2011 Republican primary debate on Twitter.com , Jul 21, 2011

Jailhouse Rock
August 24, 2018 temporalparadox
Jailhouse Rock. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer 1957.
Before watching the movie:
Early summaries I saw were all about Elvis's character learning music in jail, so I was expecting a plot entirely in the jail, but looking a little closer, it seems like more of the story is about how the music changes his life outside of jail. That's not as interesting to me, but then, I guess the story I was expecting was Prisoners of Love. At least I know the music will be good.
After watching the movie:
Buying rounds off his paycheck, Vince Everett is approached by a lady in the bar who asks if he'll buy her one. Very quickly, the man who thought she was with him accosts her, and Vince comes to her defense. Hoever, Vince defends her with too much vigor and kills the man with his bare fists, leading him to be sentenced to over a year in jail for manslaughter. His cellmate, Hunk Houghton, was a big star singing country a decade ago before going to jail, and Hunk gives Vince some pointers on how to sing and play guitar better, and he becomes great. When Vince is released, he tries to get a job singing in a club, but is rebuffed and instead meets Peggy Van Alden, a pop singer's promoter, who encourages Vince to record a demo and find his own style. Once they get published, Vince is an overnight sensation, but the tension over the nature of their relationship is a strain, and when Hunk gets out of prison, he's not very happy to find his protegé has passed him by either.
The music in this movie is of two styles. Hunk's more classic country style can be beautiful, but it's not my thing, and it's held up as something antiquated. Vince's Elvis style makes the music much more fun, even the ballads. I don't really have an ear for what's bad singing, but I don't think this had any. Just bland singing, which was very clearly demonstrated. The centerpiece, the title song number, actually doesn't feel like it fits the rest of the movie very well, but it's part of a high-budget television special, so it's not unreasonable for it to stand out.
Vince is a man with a short fuse. I thought he'd be more sympathetic since he's written for a major pop idol, but just because his jail sentence was for defending a woman from an abuser doesn't mean he's an innocent, all-around likeable guy. His entire problem is that he lashes out without thinking and then gets stuck with the consequences, driving away everyone who cares about him. That just doesn't happen with the carefully pasteurized pop idols of the 50s and 60s, but Elvis made it big on hip gyrations that television couldn't show, so maybe he couldn't be entirely tamed. Presley does pretty well selling the role as well.
I cared about the story more than I thought I would, and the songs that aren't meant to be outmoded add spice to it. It's not the romp I was led to believe it was by its iconic images, but it stands on its own pretty well.

I, like many others, have always hated going to the dentist. With Dr. John and his staff, going to the dentist is no longer intimidating. They are so kind, understanding, and patient. I would strongly recommend this doctor to anyone who gets nervous going to the dentist! - Emily D.
"Dr. John has such a gentle touch that I never felt any discomfort before, during, or after my procedure. I can't speak highly enough for the quality of his work and for the way his entire staff treated me and my family." – Kristin M.
I just recently started seeing Dr. Wasniewski as my new dentist and my experience has been great every visit. The staff is all very friendly and Amanda is very accommodating with scheduling. Dr. Wasniewski is extremely thorough and takes the time to explain in detail what work needs to be done. Just an all around relaxed environment in comparison to all other dentists I have been to. I highly recommend their office... A+ service. - Anthony P.
Dr. John and his staff are friendly and professional. They make you feel at home. They take the time to get to know you on a personal level. They care about you as a person, not just as a patient. You never have a long wait and it's a comfortable atmosphere. We actually look forward to going to our dentist.


Among the long list of indignities one must suffer with the increase of age—hair loss, mystery aches, the inherent uncoolness of having your twenties in your rearview mirror—is the particularly troubling discovery that you just aren't what you once were. You just aren't—and nothing embodies this loss quite so explicitly as one's inability to recover from that which would have been a mere blip on the day's radar twenty years ago. The hangover that troubled your morning back in college now sends you reeling back to bed for an entire afternoon; the sports injury that caused you to limp off the field for a rest now causes you to limp into the Emergency Room for a quick CAT scan. You aren't what you once were.
It happens with illnesses, too—the flu that once required you to wear an extra layer before going out to the bars to do shots and eat pizza now lays you on your back, where you remain—hacking and coughing and scheming on how you're going to get that guy that gave this to you—for days and sometimes even weeks.
This man is me: the man on his back with the flu for weeks. Or rather, this was me, for fourteen days all through mid- and late-October. It was bad at first; and then it got worse, until it resembled a sort of Keystone Kops equivalent of a sickness. And I didn't even recover on my own—the flu that put me on my back became more and more intense, developing into bronchitis and requiring antibiotics to bring me back from the edge.
It was on that first night of antibiotic-assisted recovery, as my wife approached to ask, "What should we have for dinner?"—it was here, as I gave her my blankest look (the furrowed brow, the hurt eyes), that I recognized, for the first time, the essential thing one must have over and above any specialized ingredients or basic kitchen talent if one is to cook well: hunger.
A side effect of the antibiotic: no appetite whatsoever. And you just can't fake that. Like sexual interest, like musical ear, like an ability to juggle, you just can't fake hunger. That night, in a sort of existential panic (I'm always hungry), I roasted a chicken, whipped up a vinaigrette, cooked some rice pilaf—and though I fashioned each with the same ingredients and the same process I always use, they just weren't up to par. I tasted the result days later when my appetite slightly returned, and my suspicion was confirmed: something was missing.
Most writers I know are terribly hungry people—not for food but for success, for fame, for literary eminence. I'm that way, too—guilty of possessing a root desire for the glittering prizes of skill, recognition, sales. I have, however, devoted criminally few hours to wondering just what one does after one achieves these goals, though I'm guessing what one does is panic in the same way I did when my wife asked me what was for dinner. In this way, the success that naturally comes with sticking with something for a lifetime could also be viewed as one of those afflictions of increased age. I know many, many people who have crossed the figurative professional finish line of retirement—their talent and position assured, finances all worked out—only to fall apart. When you no longer have your attention raised to the horizon, after all, what's to nourish the talent and, more importantly, the desire to put it to use?
My experience in the kitchen suggests that hunger is a good thing in that way—it's a rare sort of affliction that keeps you directed toward the higher ideal of a satiety that will never quite come.
To the home cook, the retiree, and the aspiring writer alike, then, I offer the same advice: stay hungry.
I learned this trick of basting the chicken with a combination of vinegar, salt and water—which leaves the skin wonderfully crisp—from family friends Mark and Carol Thompson.
1. Level a rack in the center of the oven; preheat the oven to 475 degrees.
2. Tie the chicken's drumsticks together with kitchen twine. Combine the vinegar, salt and water in a small skillet over low heat, stirring until the salt has mostly dissolved, then paint all surfaces of the chicken with the vinegar-salt mixture. Lay the chicken breast-side down on a roasting rack in a roasting pan or a large ovenproof skillet (if you don't have a roasting rack just substitute a couple of raw celery stalks and discard the celery when finished), then slide into the oven.
3. Roast the chicken for exactly 20 minutes, then pull the pan out of the oven. Using two large wads of paper towels, flip the chicken breast-side up, paint all surfaces again with the vinegar-salt mixture, and slide back into the oven.
4. Roast 40 minutes more, opening the oven door twice more during that time to quickly paint the chicken with the vinegar-salt mixture. When the chicken has finished roasting, remove from the oven, allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes, then serve.
Yield: 2 large servings, with some left over for lunch the next day.


Leading children the way they should go is a God given instruction.
Jeremiah 5:1: Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Proverbs 22:6 (which says, "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.") carries other undertones but my focus centers on when daddy thinks the instruction means helping his child become who 'he' wants his boy to be. News is, you did not create your son or daughter and so do not really know his or her path (some parents do receive divine revelations, though). The question is who gave the instruction anyway? To whom was it given? What does it really mean?
Whether we choose to believe it or not, God Almighty is every child's real parent. Scriptures note that the earth is the LORD's and its fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein. Jehovah controls everything and has a kingdom agenda for the world that would be fulfilled through men. In God's army are the young and old, male and female. This list is includes children and God has an assignment for each and everyone. So, that child you are looking at the moment is a man with an assignment to impact his world. He has purpose.
Therefore, to accomplish the fulfillment of divine plans, God (the one who passed down His instruction to us in the first place) has deposited traits and grace within all children; traits which every parent has been given the responsibility to 'discern' and 'nurture'. Dear parents, inherent in your child's gifting, abilities and experiences, lie his path in life.
We should realize that we are merely caregivers and earthly guardians with the duty to ensure God benefits from His treasured investments. It would then be rebellion against the LORD and unfair to the child to allow him go his own way or insist he becomes what 'you' want him to be or try to live your dream through him. While your intentions may seem so right and logical, no man's aspirations can ever be compared with God's inspiration. There is a kingdom plan in which every living soul must fit into as a piece of God's ultimate arrangement for mankind. Let us not be like Isaac who out of selfish reasons planned to transfer the blessing to Esau when it was ordained before inception that Jacob was the one to carry the Abrahamic blessing. The beauty of your child becoming all God intends him to be is that God can do exploits through him in that popular or seemingly insignificant vocation he is tailored for. If the child is to be a chef, let him be; if it is to be an engineer, so be it; if it is to become a sailor, God can his work wonders through him even on the high sea. You will be amazed how mightily God will use your child in his area of grace. I want to believe that many times a lot of parents are worried about the popularity and financial aspect of the profession or they simply want their children to opt for professions that would boost their own ego. Hmmm… these are trivial matters where God is concerned. He can 'glorify and beautify' any career. That is why He is God Almighty. Let go and let God shine!
So just in case you are a doctor, please your child does not have to follow in your footsteps. Good for you if he chooses to be one without your insistence. Perhaps it's his calling. I must say that I admire the renowned Nigerian lawyer and activist who allowed his son (Falz) to follow his heart to become a musician and comedian (though not a godly choice). I'd be surprised if this decision didn't upset his family dearly. Truth is, if we prayerfully make up our minds from an early start concerning our children's tomorrow, then we would not be frustrated or disappointed later in life when they announce their intentions. You won't be surprised if you've been involved from the onset.
With that in mind, it then means we have a major role to play in ensuring they don't get distracted and willfully make a detour.
Remember we are made for God's good pleasure and this implies that any child's future vocation is meant to be one that would glorify his maker.
In case your child tends towards becoming a musician, you are to lead him from an early start to love, recognize, desire and choose to use his talent for the LORD. He is a vessel to shine the light and love of Christ. To live up to his calling, it is paramount for parents to lighten their children's paths with the gospel and their godly lifestyles. It should not be a case of 'do as I say' but don't 'do as I do'. That's complicating, hypocritical and misleading. I'd wondered in time past the reason Isaac didn't act out of instinct during his journey of sacrifice but later came to understand that the young boy must have observed his father's life of obedience unto God. This must have made it easy for him to obey and trust Abraham even when it seemed wise to outwit his father and take to his heels.
No doubt, it is an overwhelming effort in this day and age but there is grace to mirror our lives in like fashion, for God is able to help those who determine in their hearts that "as for they and their household they will serve the LORD". Load your child with the word and the things of God and expose him to a life of righteousness by being a mobile bible. Challenges will come every now and then but He (the LORD) who began the good work in that child is faithful to complete it.
Beloved, it is of utmost priority to help your child chart his course God's intended way. If that happens, then you and I would have fulfilled scripture. Praise the Lord!
May the Almighty God help us to lead our children to favour vision over ambition and fulfill their God-given destinies. In return, the honour that comes with being the middle-aged or aged parents (as Hannah was) of a young man after God's heart is far greater and always exceeds human comprehension or expectations.
Joshua 24:15b …But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. Matthew 5:14: You are the light of the world!

ARIS (Adoption Regional Information System)
Improving the chances of children waiting for adoptive families
An information system for linking children with approved adopters in Northern Ireland.
The Adoption Regional Information System ARIS is a regional database that stores details of children waiting for adoption and approved adopters in Northern Ireland. The purpose of ARIS is to gather information about the circumstances of children waiting for adoptive families and to improve the chances of children finding an adoptive family by suggesting links where Agencies have not been able to place children locally with a suitable family.
ARIS was initially set up under project funding from the DHSSPS and is now operated by the British Association for Adoption and Fostering (BAAF) behalf of the Health and Social Care Board, the body that has responsibility for commissioning adoption services in Northern Ireland. BAAF (NI) is a registered adoption agency under the Adoption (NI) Order 1987. There is currently no charge for using ARIS.
Background to the regional database
In the publication Adopting Best Care: An Inspection of Statutory Adoption Services (DHSSPS Northern Ireland 2002), it was recognised that "there are currently no formal arrangements between boards to share information about children in need of adoption placements and no facilities to enable trusts to explore the suitability of families who are on the adoption waiting lists of other boards". The need for a regional family finding database was again recognised clearly in Adopting the Future: a Consultation Document (2006). In that document, the department recognised that 'the need to find permanent families for children is an intrinsic long-term element of the process of delivering the best outcomes for children who cannot live with their birth parents.' The Department also recognised that 'it is essential that planning and performance management are informed by sufficient and reliable information on the adoption service, collected and collated centrally.'
The ARIS Advisory Group
The ARIS Advisory Group consisting of key Stakeholders representing Adoption Agencies, Adopters, Children and the Health and Social Care Board meets quarterly to support the service, agree operational matters and consider areas for further development. This group is independently chaired.

Rumors about the KTM 390 Adventure surface once again
Know Your Car, Motorcycles, News
By Ryan Lee On August 18, 2014 No Comments
It has been almost a month, since the first rumors spilled out about KTM planning to launch the KTM 390 Adventure, which is based on the very successful street bike by KTM the Duke 390. But as you know rumors are rumors, but for KTM they seem to be partially true, cause once again the hottest trending topic currently, is about the new rendered images of the 390 Adventure.
As seen in the newly rendered image, the 390 Adventure seems to sport a new frame. The new frame is totally designed to take on any terrain, unlike the Duke 390 which is meant for city maneuvering on paved roads. Along with a new frame the 390 Adventure will get a new suspension with longer travel and better off-road stability and compliance and metal wired spoke wheels.
2015 390 Adventure rendered profile
Talking about the design, the 390 Adventure borrows its design concept from the bigger sibling the Adventure 1190. The 390 Adventure is said to sport a bigger fuel tank (approx 16 liters), upright riding position, ABS, a bigger ACG to support touring gear, all of which add up to give that long distance ride- the comfort touch.
The power that is drawn by the 390 Adventure, comes from a 373.2cc, water cooled, four-stroke, single cylinder engine, which produces 43.6PS of power at 9500RPM and a maximum torque of 32Nm at 7250 RPM. The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox, similar to the 390 Duke.
2014 KTM RC390 side profile
The Austrian Motorcycle manufacturers KTM are on a roll, with the upcoming launches of the RC390 and RC200 this September, KTM have already created a buzz about the 390 Adventure, which is said to launch by 2015 in India. The 390 Adventure may be priced a little more than the Duke 390, with this aggressive pricing scheme, its off-road and on-road riding capabilities and with no direct competition from the market, the KTM 390 Adventure has a good chance to mark its spot as well as pave the path for this new niche bike segment market in India.

A string is a collection of letters, numbers and special characters surrounded with either " " or ' '. Strings can be assigned to variables, used to output text in alert()s or paragraphs, used to read or fill form fields – basically anywhere you want the user to know something, you'll need a string.
Before we delve into reading and manipulation of strings, it's important to grasp that how you nest your speech marks matters. Whatever you start your string with you must end your string with as well. Here are some examples of valid and invalid strings.
So a property is something that describes an object, or in today's lesson, a string. To get a property of a string, you simply need the following syntax: string_name.property – where property is the actual name of the property you want to access.
Some properties you can change, such as the text in a text box. Some properties are read-only such as the length of a string.
All of the functions you will learn today follow the same pattern. If you assign a string to a variable then you run funtions with this format: string_value.functionName(). So you add a . after your variable name, then you have the function's name, and then you need () which may have something in between them.
On a registration form, you might decide all usernames must be a minimum of 8 characters long.
On a forum post, or blog comment, or feedback form, you might want a <textarea> box to be limited to, say 500 characters.
If you run a florists, and customers can specify a message to the recipient of the flowers, you might want a minimum of 11 characters ('I love you!'). You can use the maxlength attribute on an <input type="text"> but this property doesn't exist on a textarea – as labels have a restricted size, you'll want to enforce a maximum length as well.
So there are real-world examples of why you want to detect the length of a string.
We then output a message (which is a string!) to an element on the page where id="lengthResult".
If you have customer registration, you might not let them define their username. You might construct it from their first name and last name, for example. We'll do a working example of this shortly.
Note: this starting and ending letter is where your 'invisible cursor is'. And it means this 'invisible cursor' is placed before the letter in question. So to start at the beginning of a string your starting_position is ZERO and not 1.
This isn't a normal registration form, because we are not using <form> tags, so this is just to demonstrate substring() to you!
The key line here is: username = first_name.substring(0,3)+last_name;. Our new string username is made up of a substring of first_name, from position 0 to position 3. Then we just add on last_name.
Very often you will want to check user input for certain things. For example, you might want to check that a contact form submitted hasn't had any code inserted into it. Or if you maintain a SPAM list of e-mail addresses, you might want to check the user's email against that list before allowing it to be sent. Thankfully, being able to search a string for a character, or even a string of characters is easily done via the stringName.indexOf() function.
What is the Result of indexOf()?
indexOf() gives you the 'index' – i.e. the character position – where your search is found. So if we used the email [email protected], indexOf('resource-centre.net') would return 9. If I had done indexOf('feedback') then the result would be zero because my search string is found at the start.
What If the Search is Not Found?
The indexOf() function is case sensitive. You need to be careful of this else you could think your search has been successful, but your script says otherwise. Try adding a capital or two into the search string with the above to see the effect.
If you want to do a case insensitive search, then you should make both the string you want to search, and the search 'query' the same case, using the toLowerCase() or toUpperCase() functions above. An example has been included in the lesson download file at the end of this module.
Because the search_string is not found from position 12 or thereafter, indexOf() will return -1 even though it is in there somewhere. We will use this to check if an email address has more than one @ sign in it.
The minimum length for an e-mail is provided.
In this tutorial we will be outputting the result to

.
With the wide variety of domains available, email addresses can be much shorter than they used to be. I've based my minimum length on the following: [email protected], i.e. 6 characters long.
In one line of code we will also ensure there is at least one '@' and at least one '.' in place. Technically email addresses can be in the form of '[email protected]' but that's extremely rare and won't be the case fo 99.9% of people visiting your website.
So here we check if the email address is less than 6 characters and if either '@' or '.' are not found. If any of these things are not met, then we return an error message.
We don't need to know how many '@' signs there are. We just need to know if there is more than one. That is what we use the another_at variable for.
the @ and the . cannot be at position 0 for it to be valid.
Instead of checking each of these individually we can use the "OR" statement ( || ) to check both at the same time.
// the HTML5 'email' input will do some of our checking for us.
// the @ and the . cannot be at position 0 for it to be valid.
Take time to get to know string functions. With so many forms, web apps and even browser-based games, requiring text input, knowing how to handle that text will be vital for your next project.


As a leading UK manufacturer of high quality Printed Circuit Board Assemblies, MPE Electronics is continually investing in its facilities, equipment, technology and skills. And our latest programme of investment has seen a major expansion in all of those key areas of the business, bringing with it a corresponding increase in capacity – all in line with our three-year business development plan.
Our latest investment programme, worth £500,000, has brought about a new facility, adding a further 4,000 sq ft of factory space to our manufacturing base in Uckfield, East Sussex, the commissioning of new state-of-the-art equipment, and the recruitment and training of new staff to provide ever-more efficient PCB assembly services for our customers.
With a brand new facility, MPE's major investment programme has also seen the addition of three new pieces of technology to the company's equipment list. The first is a new surface mount assembly line, which incorporates a state-of-the-art, high speed Mycronic MY300DX pick-and-place machine, offering unsurpassed accuracy in component placement.
The second new piece of machinery to be installed is a Mydata SMD Tower 6150-15, which holds 800 reels of components in a temperature-controlled environment.

Neutron ray was measured in Tokyo.
Before 311, average neutron ray was 4 nSv/h.
After 311, it's 464 nSv/h (116 times higher than before 311).
Neutron ray is emitted from Uranium 235.
In one of the worst hot spots in Chiba, Kashiwa shi, citizens detected Uranium 235.
It was right beside a bench in Matsuba daiichi kinrin park.
In Kashiwa, even from the height of 1.2, they can measure Uranium 235.
They are all scattered on the ground and they all emit neutron ray.
Neutron ray can not be measured by most of the Geiger counters.
and it's way more harmful to human body.
This is why I warned that dosimeters makes you blind.
There have been a lot of the cases such as nosebleed, fatigue (bura bura disease), immune trouble etc..
They have been labelled as "harmful rumor" because "air dose" is too law to cause those symptoms.
However, this measurement of neutron rays makes everything clear.
Fear is always in the blind spot.
Now Uranium 235 is all around in Tokyo, which came from MOX with Plutonium.
They keep emitting neutron ray.
Have you any readings from CA, WA, or OR? If it is that bad over there, it must be here as well. Since you are the only site staying on this important story, I am hoping you have some information about the atmosphere, soil & water in Northern America.
I read that Japan is offering 50,000 free trips to their country to attract some of the tourist trade they have lost thanks to the nuclear fallout. 50K free visits, but I am sure they want something in writing saying how great it is in Japan. It sounds like something our leaders would cook up……pathetic.
Thanks for staying on this important story! Now that I have decent Internet service once again, I will be visiting your site for news & information.

Q&A WITH FBC FUNDED RESEARCHER DR. SARAH MCFARLANE
Dr. Sarah McFarlane, University of Calgary, is studying how retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells move with the hope that it may be used to increase the success of cell replacement therapy for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We caught up with Dr. McFarlane to learn more about this research…
Tell us about your research program.
For many years we have been interested in what controls cell movements during the development of the embryonic eye. For our studies we use an animal model called a zebrafish. The position or location of a cell in the developing eye is everything, because it determines what differentiation factors a cell encounters and what cells it can connect to and communicate with. So ultimately, location determines a cell's identity and role in the neural circuits that create vision.
We can learn a lot about what molecules influence cell movement in the embryo and then apply this information to the injured or diseased retina in order to replace lost cells and neural connections.
What were the key discoveries from your FBC funded project?
With Fighting Blindness Canada's support, we looked at what controls the movements and position of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), a key tissue that provides critical support for the light sensing cells of the retina, the photoreceptors. AMD involves the degeneration of RPE cells which can then lead to damage and death of photoreceptors. Cell replacement therapies for AMD are considering transplanting healthy RPE to replace damaged RPE cells. To be successful, these transplanted RPE cells will have to migrate to the sites of RPE damage.
This project has led us to publish two studies where we identified how RPE cells move during normal zebrafish embryonic eye development, and a key molecule that promotes and directs these movements, information we hope can be used to ensure the success of cell replacement therapy for AMD. We now will move to a RPE injury model to see if this same molecule controls RPE movements and behaviour after injury, a situation that more closely resembles what happens in the eye when someone has AMD.
What impact has FBC donor funding had on your research?
This funding came at a key time in the laboratory and allowed me to continue to support talented and highly qualified personnel on this innovative project that moved my research in a new but risky direction. Funding not only supported my team's exciting vision research, but allowed us to leverage funds towards successfully obtaining longer term support from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
What keeps you motivated outside the lab?
Being in Calgary so close to wonderful mountains, one realizes how important the sense of sight is to one's ability to appreciate and explore one's environment. I am fortunate to be able to hike in one of the most beautiful spots in the world. I know how lucky I am to be able to appreciate the gorgeous scenery and realize how important it is that we maintain and restore vision so that others can also get to appreciate their own place of beauty.
Dr. McFarlane's study is supported by funding from the Arthur Child Foundation.

The Gainesville Sun
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Former Alabama quarterback Brian Burgdorf pleaded guilty Friday to taking part in a scheme that defrauded $10 million from investors, including Florida State coach Bobby Bowden.
Burgdorf's plea came three days after one of his partners, Bowden's oldest son Steve Bowden, pleaded guilty for his role in the securities scam.
Prosecutor Adolph Dean described Burgdorf and Steve Bowden as sales representatives for the Millennium Fund, which was promoted as a tax-free, guaranteed investment for ``the privileged few.''
Burgdorf, 29, was a backup quarterback on the Crimson Tides' 1992 national championship squad and a captain for the 1995 team.
U.S. District Judge Karon Bowdre set sentencing for July 30; Burgdorf could get a term ranging from probation to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The prosecutor said 14 people in Alabama, Florida and Tennessee invested about $10 million in the fund, which began in 1996 and included a network of accounts and corporations.
BUFFALO, N.Y. - St. Bonaventure chose Notre Dame assistant Anthony Solomon to coach its troubled men's basketball team, a source told The Associated Press on Friday.
Solomon officially will be introduced at a news conference at the school's Olean campus, probably Monday, an Atlantic 10 Conference source said on condition of anonymity.
While both sides have agreed to a deal, Solomon has not signed a contract, the source said.
Solomon, never before a college head coach, replaces Jan van Breda Kolff, fired last month after a scandal involving an ineligible player. The Bonnies had to forfeit wins and were barred from the conference tournament; the players then decided to boycott the last two games of the regular season.
IOWA STATE: Larry Eustachy, already suspended by Iowa State for his behavior at late-night parties, was suspended for one game by the NCAA on Friday for a secondary rules violation.
The NCAA found Iowa State guilty because Eustachy twice paid players for making free throws. The university was ordered to suspend Eustachy for one game, but that might become moot because athletic director Bruce Van De Velde has recommended Eustachy be fired.
N.C. STATE: North Carolina State sophomore center Josh Powell said Friday he will enter his name in the 2003 NBA Draft.
The move is a surprise, but the 6-foot-9 Powell said he will not retain an agent and could return to the Wolfpack. ``I am in good academic standing,'' Powell said.
ORLANDO - South Florida and Central Florida have signed a contract to play a two-game series in 2005 and 2006, the schools announced Friday. The contract also calls for the schools to discuss potential games beyond 2006.
The series will begin Sept. 17, 2005, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, followed by a Sept. 16, 2006, game at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando.
UCF is in its second season in the Mid-American Conference, while USF will begin play in Conference USA this year.
The first game of the Florida at Auburn series was rained out Friday night.
The teams will play a doubleheader starting at 5 p.m. today.

Museum Ludwig, Cologne - History of a Collection with Civic Commitments

About This Exhibition
The National Art Center, Tokyo and the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto will host Museum Ludwig, Cologne ‒ History of a Collection with Civic Commitments as a presentation of the Museum Ludwig's superlative collection of art from the early 20th century to today.
Administered by the City of Cologne, the Museum Ludwig features collections largely formed of works donated by private citizens. The patrons were people who lived through the tumult of the 20th century—two world wars, followed by the division of Germany and then its reunification. They suffered the same adversities, stood up to new challenges, and turned their eyes to contemporary artists inspired by the winds of change sweeping across society.
This exhibition spotlights the Museum Ludwig's signature collections with a focus on the private collectors who supplied the works. Among the donors are the Ludwigs, the namesake couple who were the face of the museum during their lifetime. Peter, an entrepreneur, and Irene studied art history together as university students and later bestowed upon the museum the pieces that form the cornerstone of its holdings—Europe's finest array of Pop Art, precious examples of Russian Avant-garde, and many outstanding Picassos. There is also Josef Haubrich, a Cologne lawyer who contributed the bulk of the museum's assemblage of modern German art, particularly works of German Expressionism and Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity). Soon after the end of World War II, he gifted the City of Cologne with the exceptional art he had protected from the ravages of that conflict, and in doing so provided hope to his compatriots. In addition to these mainstays, the exhibition also presents selections from a photography collection of astonishing quality and size that evolved from works sold or donated by L. Fritz and Renate Gruber, as well as pieces acquired since the beginning of this century through diverse initiatives for energizing the contemporary art scene.
The Museum Ludwig has long served as a nexus that links the commitment of art lovers with the community through their gifts and support. The exhibition's 152 selections—encompassing oil paintings, sculptures, other 3D artworks, videos, photographs, and more—are a testament to the vibrant interaction between art museums and citizens. It is hoped that this presentation will be an opportunity for visitors to reexamine art museums' roles and significance within our society.

Visiting Bali is always a good idea as the island is filled with beautiful places as well as a plethora of activities, from surfing, diving to cultural shows.
Although the recent volcanic activity of Mount Agung in Karangasem regency has led many tourists to believe the whole island is under a Level 4 emergency status, Bali Governor Made Mangku Pastika said on Wednesday that the warning only applied within an 8-kilometer radius of Mt. Agung's crater, meaning the rest of the island is safe to visit.
However, those still feeling a tad worried about Mt. Agung might want to check out these three hotels, slated to open next year, in South Bali.
Dreamland Beach on Bukit Peninsula is said to be one of Bali's hidden gems.
In January, the area is set to welcome Wyndham Dreamland Resort Bali. Offering 190 one-bedroom suites and villas with private pools, the resort is equipped with three food and beverage outlets, two swimming pools, a children's pool as well as a spa and wellness center complete with yoga studio.
Nestled on the south-western tip of Bukit Peninsula, Uluwatu is a popular destination among surfers.
Those wanting to ride the waves should check out Radisson Blu Bali Uluwatu. Slated to open next month, the hotel offers 111 deluxe rooms featuring either private balconies or private sundecks.
Moreover, the facilities includes an all-day dining restaurant, Italian eatery, bars as well as a fitness center, meeting rooms and a kids club.
Canggu is among the hippist places in South Bali as, recently, the neighborhood has become filled with modern restaurants and bars.


The U.S. had a cooler and wetter than average spring that featured deadly tornadoes in Oklahoma, widespread flooding in the Midwest, and deepening drought in the Western U.S., according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In a report released Thursday, NOAA said the March-through-May period was the coolest such stretch since spring of 1996, ranking as the 38th-coolest spring on record despite a warmer-than-average May.
The season was especially notable for its exceptionally cold and wet start in the central part of the country, with many cities, from Bismark, N.D., to St. Louis and even Richmond, Va., receiving more snow during the meteorological spring months than they did during winter. Fourteen states, from Minnesota to Georgia had a spring that ranked among their top 10 coolest on record.
Temperature departures from average during spring 2013.
Many cities broke all-time spring snowfall records. In Duluth, Minn., 76.6 inches of snow fell from March through May, compared to the average of 20.5 inches during the same period, and the 41.5 inches that fell during last winter. In Fargo, N.D., 31.3 inches of snow fell in spring, compared to the seasonal average of 12.1 inches. According to the Rutgers University Global Snow Lab, the spring snow cover extent in the U.S. was the largest since 1984, and the eighth largest on record.
Spring also widened the already gaping divide between the haves and have-nots in terms of rainfall across the lower 48 states. Record amounts of rain fell in parts of the Midwest, while record dry conditions set in across the West. In Colorado and New Mexico, extremely dry conditions are already contributing to escalating wildfires and dust storm hazards. In Oklahoma, the gap can be seen within the state, where the eastern portion suffered from flooding this spring, but the western section of the state is dry and dusty.
The Midwest and Northern Plains were the wettest regions of the U.S. this spring. Iowa had its wettest spring on record with 17.61 inches of precipitation — 8.63 inches above average. Five states in the regions had one of their 10 wettest springs, and that contributed to destructive flooding along the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers, among others. Iowa, Illinois, and Michigan also had their wettest January-to-May periods on record.
Yet across the West, and especially in the Southwest, rainfall was extremely scarce. Spring temperatures were warmer than average as a multi-year drought showed no signs of abating. In New Mexico, just 0.66 inches of precipitation fell, which was 1.72 inches below average, NOAA said. California had its eighth-driest spring on record, leading drought conditions to envelop nearly the entire state.
Largely because of extremes in below-average temperatures, one-day precipitation extremes, and the large drought footprint across the West, the U.S. Climate Extremes Index was 1.4 times its average value during spring, NOAA said. The index measures the highest and lowest 10 percent of extremes in temperature, precipitation and drought across the lower 48 states, and has set records in recent years as extreme weather and climate events have struck the U.S. at a dizzying pace.
Precipitation departures from average during spring 2013.
Although there have been fewer tornadoes than average so far in 2013, the spring will long be remembered for the two deadly EF-5 tornadoes that struck the Oklahoma City metro during May. One of those twisters, which tore through the city of Moore on May 20, killed 23, and the damage is likely to rival the most expensive tornado in U.S.history, which wiped out parts of Joplin, Mo., in May 2011. The other EF-5 tornado struck just 11 days later in El Reno, Okla., and it had estimated winds of more than 200 mph and a width of 2.6 miles, the widest tornado ever recorded on Earth.
The most powerful tornadoes, ranking as either EF-4 or EF-5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, are rare — they comprise less than 1 percent of the total number of tornadoes — yet they are the most reliable killers, accounting for 70 percent of tornado fatalities. The two Oklahoma EF-5 tornadoes were the 59th and 60th EF-5 tornadoes on record in the U.S. since 1950, and were just the seventh and eighth to occur in the Sooner State.

Park Cake Bakeries dispute ends as threatened strikes win protections for temps
Article published: Tuesday, December 6th 2011
The Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) has announced the end of the ongoing industrial dispute to protect the rights of temporary workers at Park Cake Bakeries, Bolton, following concessions from management.
The agreement announced yesterday by union officer Roy Streeter provides the temps with a route into becoming permanent staff and rescinds prior contracts which gave no guaranteed hours to workers.
Commenting on the agreement, Streeter said: "I am so pleased that we stood up and did everything we could to safeguard our jobs and those of the agency workers that we feel were brought in to attack our terms and conditions."
The dispute began over agency working and has become a major issue for trade unions concerned at the trend for employers to use agency workers to replace staff on permanent contracts. The practice drives down the wages of some of the poorest paid workers in the country, including those in the baking industry.
An attack on all wages
From October this year agency workers were given new rights under the Agency Workers legislation, including equal terms and conditions after 12 weeks. Park Cake Bakers however took on new staff in September, just before the legislation became law, paid at the national minimum wage and given 'zero hour' contracts with no guaranteed hours. At the same time they had not been replacing their core workers.
BFAWU took this as a direct attack on their members to drive down their wages and make permanent staff a minority within the whole workforce. Park Cakes were forced to sit down with trade unions following the threat of a strike action just prior to Christmas, one of the busiest times of the year for the industry.
Streeter conceded the deal was "not everything we want. We are a small union and the new legislation on agency working is full of holes so we have agreed a deal that we feel is the best we can get given the economic situation".
Undermined rights
The agreement means that the 20 staff taken on in September will have to serve a probationery period of 18 months to two years before they can go on the core workforce's payscale and conditions. BFAWU have also brought an end to the zero hour contract and Streeter anticipates the agency workers will be absorbed into the permanent workforce as the core workforce 'naturally' diminishes as staff leave or retire.
Few agency staff belong to unions because of the nature of their employment but some have now joined BFAWU due to the union supporting their employment rights, bucking the national trend of a wider decline in union membership. While Streeter was dismayed that it will take so long for the agency staff to become permanent members of the core workforce, he felt it was a victory for both the union members and most importantly the agency workers, who will be offered some protection and a future in the workforce.
Streeter was also pleased about the response he has had from within his union, saying "we had fantastic support including offers of financial help if we did go on strike." He was less happy with the Labour Party, arguing that "only 21 Labour MPs supported our Early Day Motion and they are supposed to be socialists." He had previously viewed the national minimum wage as one of the better achievements of New Labour but now questions the way it is becoming a wage level that employers are using to undermine both negotiated pay levels and the actions of unions to protect their members' standards of living.
And although he welcomed the legislation on agency workers he argues that flaws in the law remain: "It's not progress if you still have people working at the same job but getting different rates of pay."

As far as I know, it only runs in crossover office, not stock wine yet.

Many show managers only spend a small percentage of their time on registration yet need to be certain the process runs smoothly for all attendees. Choosing a registration partner who manages registration, shares best practices, and makes recommendations—before the show, onsite, and post-event—is essential to any event's success. Here are five ways registration vendors can add value to your event.
Registration companies with significant experience listen closely to your show challenges then provide options for you to implement the best possible solutions. Ask your registration partner to give you best practices so you can take advantage of experiences from other shows to improve your event. You want solutions that are practical and customized specifically for your show with a track record of working onsite. Your registration company should create a detailed timeline for the event.
For instance, if your event wants to promote conferences or sessions to boost attendance, then ask your registration vendor for examples of how other events have addressed this challenge. Creating an alert or recommendation within a registration page, adding an incentive, or sending out a promotional email campaign to upgrade are all possible solutions.
Most registration companies have developed broad networks that can help you throughout the course of your event. Your onsite manager is the key contact for leveraging relationships. Knowing onsite and local people such as temporary staff, venue staff, or the fire marshal can help your show run smoothly. Your registration company should have relationships with multiple temporary staffing agencies in the major convention cities. Ask your registration partner to recommend specific supervisors and staff who they have worked succesfully with in the past. When the temporary staff has experience working with your registration vendor's system, it minimizes training time and allows your staff to focus on the event's program and policies.
Show managers are always looking for ways to make their event grow. Establishing a strong working relationship with your vendors can contribute to the event's success. Partnering with the right registration vendor is an important factor in producing a successful show.
Your existing data can be analyzed to make registering easy for attendees and benefits show management. Be sure your vendor has a flexible and user-friendly business intelligence tool that allows information to be reviewed and presented in a variety of formats. Reports that detect registration trends and compare events should be simple to create. For example, having live access to session rosters is invaluable when preparing for room setup, food and beverage, and speaker preparation.
Your show's success is clearly tied to how many attendees come to the event. Use a registration company that helps exhibitors draw people onto the show floor by providing tools such as an exhibitor portal with access to resources to maximize their investment. Having an exhibitor portal and other tools for drawing attendees into the booth is essential.
Giving your exhibitors the ability to invite their customers as well as prospects using a unique promo code is something that should always be included in an exhibitor portal. This gives your exhibitors a chance to help make the event successful. Show managers could track promo code usage for each exhibitor and add an incentive for the exhibitor with the most invites or converted registrants.
Every event has significant security considerations. This can include physical security of the building, credit card/payment security, website security, and data security. Ask your registration vendor to share all security plans with you—and assume that if the vendor does not want to share the plan, then one probably does not exist. Consider all methods, such as using photo badges, for ensuring a safe event.


This surprised me. Is the Israeli system really superior to anything the US has, or is this an underhanded way to subsidize Israel's military?
The US military has announced plans to buy and test out Israel's Iron Dome missile defence system.
I was under the impression that it was the U.S. that gave the Iron Dome missal system to Israel. I remember hearing that in the news reports during the war to depose Sadam.
I think you're referring to the Patriot that shot down the SCUDs when Iraq was popping them off.
The Israelis have a habit of buying systems from the US and others then modifying them to achiever more effective and specialized results. They've done this consistently with aircraft. Raytheon produces the missiles that are used in the system now. Like the Patriot system they had a rough go at the beginning but the Patriot filled the gap. As I get it the Iron Dome is far less expensive and more effective than the Patriot. In most American weapons systems we get a multiple use gadget that's good at everything but not so outstanding at anything.
Maybe there is a simple kickback to Trump in some way.
Your 2nd question answers it! So far, "Iron Dome" has only proven itself against the unguided bottle rockets fired off by Hamas on occasion that actually come close to landing in a city. It's never had to deal with the new generation of guided missiles because of informal agreements between Israel, US, Russia and Turkey regarding where their forces are located and allowed to strike without triggering all out war in Syria. If either Russian or American-made hypersonic missiles are ever fired at Israel, that "iron dome" will be exposed as little more than a newer, more expensive "Maginot Line."
My take on it is that it's design is to intercept the smaller artillery type rockets that are fired into Israel weekly. They are free flight ballistic rockets, individually akin to the Katyusha. Calling them bottle rockets is laughable. They contain enough explosives to level buildings, if they can hit them. The idea of shooting them down is a morale booster. If we see the return of the SCUDs SRBMs and their variants they'll be shot down by Iron Dome too.
An issue that causes the increase in short range interception capability is the flight control software that was given to the Chinese by the Clinton admin. ostensibly to improve the accuracy of their satellite launch vehicles. The effect is that now the Iranians and NOKOs have it too, making the fact that they have accurate suborbital delivery vehicles a concern.

In the summer of 2018, Chris Cassaday co-founded a funk-blues-rock fusion band called The Cassaday Concoction. The band, consisting of Chris's close friends Brian Gerrard on lead guitar, Dom Ryan on bass, and Adam Bush on drums, has proven very quickly that they are must see performers. Since their start, the Concoction has rocked the stage at some of the largest and most prestigious venues the east coast of the United States has to offer, while bringing a swarm of enthusiastic fans, both new and old, with them.
Each member's eclectic mix of musical backgrounds gives the band's sound a unique and powerful edge, luring the audience in with catchy harmonies, hard-punching rock and roll, soothing soul music, and reggae one-drops. Their shows truly are a "Concoction" of musical euphoria, with the band taking you on a journey of whatever genre or vibe is pumping through their veins.
The band released the 3-song-EP Hear, Listen on March, 15th, 2019, followed by Hollywood EP on October 23, 2020. The band released 3 singles in 2022, and on September 9th, 2022, the Concoction released their first full length album "I Need To Be", which has amassed over 150,000 streams on Spotify.


I haven't written much about the I-5 interchange plan and you probably haven't heard about it because the process is slow and complicated. But big things are in the work for the one mile area where the I-5 runs through the Rose Quarter and Albina neighborhood.
That stretch of I-5 has the highest crash rate of any part of the I-5 in Oregon: 472 crashes over the past five years. The freeway and its on-and-off ramps also slice the Rose Quarter off from the rest of the city, making it a not-so-great place to live or open a business. In a plan (pdf) put together by the city and Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), the state will spend years and $400 million to revamp the freeway and surface streets around the Rose Quarter.
A stakeholder group signed off on moving the I-5 interchange plan forward at a key meeting last Thursday, june 7th, but eight out of 18 representatives expressed some or serious concern about the project. Some area residents are frustrated that the long-needed improvements to the surface streets—like the better bike way, pedestrian bridge, and altered traffic flows—can apparently only come coupled with the freeway widening.
• "Capping" the freeway where it runs under the Rose Quarter and Broadway/Weidler, building a street-level lid that could be used for a park or buildings.
• Tearing down the freeway overpass on NE Flint.
• Moving the southbound I-5 onramp north one block (from Winning Way to Weidler/Williams).
• Building a two-way cycletrack on North Williams through the area.
That all is hard to visualize, so here's a drawing.
I-5 was built in 1966 and traffic on it has doubled in those years to 120,000 cars a day today. ODOT predicts that the project will reduce crashes on the stretch by 30-50 percent. " Neighborhood leaders say the city and state should find some way to improve the neighborhood streets without widening the freeway.
Eliot Neighborhood Land Use Chair Mike Warwick described that situation as "the devil's bargain." He and two others on the stakeholder committee were critical of spending hundreds of millions of dollars and years of heavy duty construction to add one lane and shoulders to a freeway built less than 50 years ago, but they really want the improved neighborhood street connections that ODOT and the city promise will follow the freeway's widening.
Neighborhood leaders also worry that when the time comes to do the neighborhood improvements, the city and ODOT will cut corners, lose funding, or otherwise fail to follow through on the neighborhood improvement parts of the plan, leaving the area with a wider freeway but none of the surface-street fixes. This neighborhood is no stranger to well-intentioned redevelopment plans gutting the area—they worry this could be a repeat of the original the '60s-era freeway planning, when I-5 was rammed through the majority African-American neighborhood with little concern for the freeway's impact on residents.
"This is maybe the most important thing to happen to Eliot since I-5 went through," Eliot neighborhood chair Allan Rudwick said at the stakeholder meeting last night. "Pushing this forward will delay development in the area for maybe 10 years. Why would we do that to add one auxiliary lane and shoulders to one mile of freeway?"
Long-time activist Jim Howell was more direct. "We have a nickname for this project: CRC Light," he told the committee. "It will require massive demolition and reconstruction. We could use that money to repair miles of crumbling city streets."
For its part, the city and ODOT assured stakeholders last night that the freeway widening and neighborhood street fixes would go hand-in-hand.
"This is considered an extremely significant step forward step from the city and the state," said city planner Paul Smith. "This is one project and it will need to be funded as a single package."
