Bear Family Records BCD 17122 BR
2-CD mini-box (CD-size) with 68-page booklet
Genre: rock and roll
Tracks 79
Playing Time 148:59

Billy Riley is a classic figure from Sun’s golden age. The set contains outtakes of every one of Riley's Sun singles, 78 tracks with studio chatter and previously unreleased recordings. Includes a lavishly illustrated booklet with previously unpublished photos, revised and expanded Sun discography and track-by-track commentaries. A fascinating behind-the-scenes look at recording in the SUN studio during the 1950s. The most complete and detailed look at Billy Riley's Sun career is now available only on Bear Family Records.
Billy Riley is one of the unsung heroes of rockabilly. To many collectors, Riley's six Sun singles, issued between 1956 and 1959, guarantee him charter membership in rockabilly heaven. Forget the fact that Riley never had a national hit record. Songs like ''Red Hot'' and ''Flying Saucer Rock And Roll'' enshrine Riley as one of the founding fathers of rock and roll. That assessment is shared by record collectors, historians and Bob Dylan, who paid public tribute to Billy Riley and performed with him in 1992. This unprecedented boxed set brings together virtually every Billy Riley outtake of the 12 sides originally released by the SUN label in the 1950s. It offers the deepest look yet at Billy Riley's recording activity in the historic Memphis studio. Taken together, this set and Bear Family's 2-CD release of ''Classic Billy Riley'' offer the most complete look at Billy Riley at Sun Records ever to be released. This boxed set also includes a lavishly illustrated booklet featuring never-before seen photos of Riley at work in the studio and on tour with his backup group, the Little Green Men. It also includes a revised and expanded Sun discography, detailed track-by-track commentaries, and new interview material by Sun historian Hank Davis. Its 78 tracks include revealing studio chatter and offer a deep, behind-the- scenes look at life in the Sun studio. This is a set that no fan of Billy Riley or vintage Sun Records can be without.
BILLY RILEY - Billy Riley only had six records issued under his own name on Sun Records. Sparse as his output may haven been, in rockabilly annals he remains a titan. His recordings of "Flyin' Saucer Rock And Roll" and "Red Hot" are by themselves sufficient to ensure his immortality. The other recordings - both issued and unissued - are evidence of a man with catholic taste and talents versatile enough to match them. Riley a product of Irish and Cherokee ancestry, born on October 5, 1933 in Pocohontas, Arkansas although the family moved often throughout the rural Mid-South. "Back when I was a kid growing up, we lived on a plantation with mostly black people on it. Every Saturday and every Sunday you could usually find a little group of dudes under the trees playing blues. A white guy, Tommy Hamblin, who came from a family of string musicians, taught me how to play three or four chords on the guitar. We started playing with the black musicians, going the blues with them. He and I man, we were black as the rest of' em".
Billy Riley had bought a Sears-Roebuck Silvertone guitar at the age of nine from his girlfriend. "She had lost interest in the instrument after it had been sprayed by the termite control people. So I bought it off her, refinished it and learned how to play it". By that time he had already mastered the harmonica, an instrument that his father had taught him.
The family grew up in what can only described as abject poverty. "We lived in a tent. A big ol' Army tent. My dad put a floor in it and built walls around it. Then he built two log cabin rooms adjoining - kitchen and dining room". Billy Riley dropped out of school at age 10 and started working to help support the family. In common with every other family in the vicinity, the Riley's owned neither records nor a phonograph. Electricity was uncommon in rural areas at that time but battery radios were available and very popular. Riley fondly recalls listening to and being influenced by Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell via the radio in the late 1940s. However, he heard no blues on the radio as the advent of black radio programming was still a few years distant.
One of the seasonal highlights for the Rileys and neighboring families was the traveling tent shows. The cost was 25c. "We wouldn't see them if they were too far away", Riley recalled, "cause we had no car. About the only way we could get to any place was to walk or find a ride".
Halfway through his thirteenth year, Billy Riley's family left the plantation in Arkansas and headed southeast to Tupelo, Mississippi bringing their tent with them. Riley's father was working as a painter but after a year with work at a premium the family pulled up roots again and headed back to Arkansas - this time to Osceola. While in Tupelo though, Riley had made his first public appearance, performing live on radio station WELO. In 1948 Billy Riley tried to enlist in the armed services. Only 15 years of age, he was rejected. By 1949 the family had moved back to Pocohontas although his sister stayed in Osceola. Riley tried again to enlist and with his sister signing the necessary papers attesting that he was 18 (Riley had no birth certificate), he became an employee of Uncle Sam.
For Riley, the Army was just a way out of grinding rural poverty although he eventually saw some benefits: "While I was in the service I got more interested in music because I won some talent shows at the service club". Playing in these talent shows, singing hard country music along the lines defined by Hank Williams,   Lefty Frizzell and Hank Thompson, Riley first performed in a full band context. He was even offered a position in Special Services but surprisingly turned it down due to stage fright. During his hitch in the service, he made his first private recordings including the Hank Williams weeper "My Son Calls Another Man Daddy".
It is unclear exactly how long Billy Riley spent in the service. He recalled to Bill Millar that he returned   briefly to civilian life and then re-enlisted for three years. In any event, Riley probably found himself back in   civilian duds around 1953 or 1954.
Music was now much more than a hobby and upon discharge he joined a couple of country bands that worked in and around Jonesboro, Arkansas - C.D. Tennyson and the Happy Valley Boys and the KBTM Ranch Boys. While supporting himself and his first wife with a day job in a shoe factory, Billy Riley could be heard regularly on three local radio stations - KBMT and KNEX in Jonesboro and KRLA in Paragould. Both the bands with whom Riley worked taped their shows on Sunday for broadcast during the week. At the same time, Riley together with the bassist and the bassist's wife from the KBTM Ranch Boys rose early in the morning to perform live on a gospel show.
Not making a lot of money in the shoe factory or with his music, Riley was talked into moving to Memphis by his brother-in-law. Together they opened a restaurant and Riley briefly forsook music. After the restaurant failed, Billy Riley worked as a meat cutter and than as a truck driver for Industrial Coverall. "That's when my mind was on music. When I wrecked that truck I was singing 'Trouble Bound'. I worked there until I wrecked two trucks".
Riley joined Slim Wallace's Dixie Ramblers. Wallace was a local truck driver who played bass in a band which also featured Jack Clement, then attending Memphis State University. Wallace and Clement got the notion to start a record label, Fernwood Records, named after the street upon which Wallace lived. The studio was a primitive affair, literally situated in his garage.
The Dixie Ramblers consisted of Roland "Slim" Wallace, Jack Clement, Billy Riley, Wayne McGinnis and Ramon Maupin, they played straight ahead hard country music, mostly on the weekends. Its interesting to note Riley's first playing experience - at least on guitar - was with black blues musicians on the plantation   where he lived with his parents. yet, up to this point in his semi-pro career, he had only publicly played country music. As with many other future rockabillies he never realized that he had an option. He was white, therefore if he wanted to play music, he played country. That was simply what white Southern musicians did. Riley explained: "After hearing Elvis and seeing what was happening, a lot of us guys got away from the country stuff. We wanted to get with what was happening. When it was new it was something completely different from what anybody had ever done. It was something that fit me because it sounded black. It was still country but it had that black feel and that was what I wanted. It was something I was brought up on". After Billy Riley had played a couple of months with the Dixie Ramblers, Jack Clement had the idea that the first release on Fernwood should be by Billy Riley. Surprisingly in view of Riley's growing infatuation with the new music, the Dizie Ramblers first attempted a country song, a Riley original entitled "Think Before You Go". At that point the group consisted of Riley, Wallace, Bob Deckelman on steel guitar and a fiddle player.
They recorded two songs, "Trouble Bound" and "Think Before You Go". in a primitive studio Clement had built in Wallace's garage. Clement took the masters to Sam Phillips, who responded to the eerie, bluesy intensity of "Trouble Bound" and offered a job to Clement and a contract to Riley. Sam Phillips counseled against releasing the countrified "Think Before You Go", so Riley concocted a rockabilly novelty, "Rock With Me Baby", that he recorded at the WMPS studio in Memphis. Purchasing the masters from Fernwood, Sam Phillips issued Riley's debut single in May 1956.
With a record on the market, Riley needed to put a band together, Clement was too busy at Sun to be playing clubs and Bernero had always been temporary. That left only guitarist Roland Janes. Riley and Janes had met a teenage drummer, J.M. Van Eaton, when Van Eaton had been down at Sun with another group. He was quickly drafted into the fold, as was upright bassist Marvin Pepper. By the end of 1956, Riley's group had been co-opted as the house band at Sun Records.
After a four year involvement with Sun, Riley decided to quit again, Jack Clement and Bill Justis had been dismissed in early 1959. Both started their own labels. Riley did some work for Justis, cutting an instrumental record pseudonymously for Jaro/Top Rank under the name "Spitfires". By this point he had reunited with Roland Janes and they held down a steady gig at the Starlight Club in Memphis. It was there that they came up with the idea for Rita Records settled in the old Sun studio.
One of the first moves was to bring Harold Dorman to the label. Dorman had been languished around town since 1856, trying to hustle a deal for himself and his writing partner Wiley Gann. Riley and Janes took Dorman and Gann to the Hi studio, paid Jack Clement to handle the board and emerged with "Mountain Of Love" which became a nationwide hit in 1960.
Rita Records was a short-lived venture and Riley's involvement in it was even shorter. Commercially, none of Riley's records had much impact. Sam Phillips has more than once lamented this fact, stating that he does not understanding why Riley never broke through. To Riley though, its simple: "Jerry Lee and Sam got too this what happened to me".
Through the 1960s and 1970s, Riley persevered in the music business. He recorded under his own name and a host of pseudonyms including the Megatrons, the Rockin' Stockings and Sandy & the Sandstones. The list of labels for whom he recorded is even longer. He even achieved a small breakthrough on the Entrance label in 1972 with the Chips Moman produced "I Got A Thing About You Baby" that later Elvis covered. Immediately preceding his deal with Entrance, Riley had returned to the re-born Sun label owned by Shelby Singleton in Nashville, launching it in fine style with "Kay". Both "Kay" and "Red Hot" were - in their way - definitive performances but the gulf between them highlighted Riley's real problem: he lacked an identifiable style. With all the talent in the world, Riley would not stick in one groove long enough to reap the rewards. His versatility was his greatest asset and his greatest drawback.
Since 1983 Billy Riley has refused to gig, recorded little and released nothing. If the right offer under the right conditions came along he would probably give it one last go-round. In the meantime, he supports himself as a contractor, rarely dwelling upon his impressive - if less than successful - past. All of us involved with this project revere Billy Riley for his music. When Joyce met Billy on April 11, 1975, she knew nothing about Billy's music or Sun Records. She fell in love with a hard-working man who was raising two daughters, ages 3 and 6, by himself. Only later did Joyce discover the music featured here. Joyce and Billy were married just about two weeks after they met, on April 26, 1975. Joyce was still with Billy 34 years later when he died of colon cancer on August 2, 2009. The final years of Billy's life were a medical and,consequently, a financial nightmare.

NSW Police prepared for Anzac Day threats

NSW Police have sought to reassure the public ahead of Anzac Day gatherings, saying there is no intelligence to suggest there is an increased risk of terror attacks.

But as preparations gained speed on Friday, Assistant Commissioner Mark Murdoch conceded lone wolf-style attacks, such as an incident in Paris, were difficult to prevent.

A French policeman was shot dead and two others were wounded in central Paris on Thursday night in an attack claimed by the Islamic State militant group.

Mr Murdoch likened the incident to the shooting death of police accountant Curtis Cheng in 2015.

"Our threat profile here in Australia and particular NSW is for that lone actor-style of attack - that's what we are working very hard to prevent," he said in Sydney.

"There is no specific intelligence to suggest Anzac Day is at any increased level of threat, but lone-actor attacks ... are very, very difficult to prevent."

Mr Murdoch said police numbers would be comparable to previous Anzac Day events, with "a large number" of officers patrolling dawn services and the march.

"Police will, as the community would expect of us, put in place those arrangements we feel necessary to protect the public and ensure a safe event," he said.

Sydneysiders will also experience an increased police presence this weekend as US Vice President Mike Pence jets into the city for the Australian leg of his Asia-Pacific tour.

Mr Murdoch said all NSW Police members had been advised not to be complacent in the wake of the Paris shooting.

"Indeed, we convey that same message to the community - to not be alarmed but alert, vigilant and ... if they see something, say something," he said.

Price $20.00

Since entering the literature of magic in the 1600s, the effect of passing coins through a solid table top has captured the imagination of magicians and has led to countless variations and versions. The tricks inclusion in the repertoires of some of close-up magics most illustrious performers speaks to its utterly mystifying effect on an audience.

In this volume, you'll see eight different versions of this close-up magic favorite with different methodologies, presentations and even finales. David Roth begins a performance and exposition of the original Al Baker approach of passing the coins through the table one at a time while Gary Ouellet presents Dai Vernon's version from Stars of Magic. Steve Dacri demonstrates a version taught to him by Slydini and refined by Vernon while John Mendoza uses six coins rather than the traditional four and finishes the routine with an unbelievable final production. David Roth returns with the traditional Han Ping Chien technique for passing three coins through at one time followed by Larry Jennings with a wonderful no-lap method. Johnny Thompson presents his own version of the Baker routine followed by an in-the-air transposition of three coins ala Han Ping Chien, while David Regal presents an innovative method - and presentation - for this close-up classic.

Passing a solid object through another solid object has always been a favorite plot of magicians and the commonness of coins and tables only adds another layer of mystery and fascination to it. Learn one (or more!) of these methods and you'll be ready to entertain and bewilder anyone at anytime with objects that are completely ordinary and familiar.

Chemical attack kills dozens in Syria, US blames Assad

 A chemical weapons attack in an opposition-held town in northern Syria killed dozens of people on Tuesday, leaving residents gasping for breath and convulsing in the streets and overcrowded hospitals. The Trump administration blamed the Syrian government for the attack, one of the deadliest in years, and said Syria's patrons, Russia and Iran, bore "great moral responsibility" for the deaths.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 58 people died, including 11 children, in the early morning attack in the town of Khan Sheikhoun, which witnesses said was carried out by Sukhoi jets operated by the Russian and Syrian governments.

Videos from the scene showed volunteer medics using fire hoses to wash the chemicals from victims' bodies. Haunting images of lifeless children piled in heaps reflected the magnitude of the attack, which was reminiscent of a 2013 chemical assault that left hundreds dead and was the worst in the country's ruinous six-year civil war.

Tuesday's attack drew swift condemnation from world leaders, including President Donald Trump, who denounced it as a "heinous" act that "cannot be ignored by the civilized world." The U.N. Security Council scheduled an emergency meeting for Wednesday in response to the strike, which came on the eve of a major international donors' conference in Brussels on the future of Syria and the region.

In a statement, Trump also blamed former President Barack Obama for "weakness" in failing to respond aggressively after the 2013 attack.

"These heinous actions by the Bashar al-Assad regime are a consequence of the past administration's weakness and irresolution," Trump said. "President Obama said in 2012 that he would establish a 'red line' against the use of chemical weapons and then did nothing. The United States stands with our allies across the globe to condemn this intolerable attack."

Trump left it to his top diplomat, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, to assign at least some blame to Russia and Iran, Assad's most powerful allies. Tillerson called on both countries to use their influence over Assad to prevent future chemical weapons attacks, and noted Russia's and Iran's roles in helping broker a cease-fire through diplomatic talks in the Kazakh capital, Astana.

"As the self-proclaimed guarantors to the cease-fire negotiated in Astana, Russia and Iran also bear great moral responsibility for these deaths," Tillerson said.

In a statement, the Syrian government "categorically rejected" claims that it was responsible, asserting that it does not possess chemical weapons, hasn't used them in the past and will not use them in the future. It laid the blame squarely on the rebels, accusing them of fabricating the attack and trying to frame the Syrian government. The Russian Defense Ministry also denied any involvement

Photos and video emerging from Khan Sheikhoun, located south of the provincial capital of Idlib, showed the limp bodies of children and adults. Some were struggling to breathe; others appeared to be foaming at the mouth.

The activist-run Assi Press published video of paramedics carrying victims, stripped down to their underwear and many appearing unresponsive, from the scene in pickup trucks.

It was not immediately clear if all those killed died from suffocation or were struck by other airstrikes that occurred in the area around the same time.

It was the third claim of a chemical attack in just over a week in Syria. The previous two were reported in Hama province, in an area not far from Khan Sheikhoun.

Opposition activists and a doctor in Idlib said it was the worst incident since the 2013 gas attack on the Damascus suburb of Ghouta that killed hundreds of civilians and which a U.N. investigation said used sarin gas.

Faced with international outrage over that attack, Assad agreed to a Russia-sponsored deal to destroy his chemical arsenal. His government declared a 1,300-ton stockpile of chemical weapons and so-called precursor chemicals that can be used to make weapons, all of which were destroyed.

But member states of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons have repeatedly questioned whether Assad declared everything. The widely available chemical chlorine was not covered in the 2013 declaration and activists say they have documented dozens of cases of chlorine gas attacks since then.

The Syrian government has consistently denied using chemical weapons and chlorine gas, accusing the rebels of deploying it in the war instead.

Dr. AbdulHai Tennari, a pulmonologist who treated dozens of victims of Tuesday's attack, said it appeared to be more serious than a chlorine attack.

In a Skype interview, he said doctors were struggling amid extreme shortages, including of the antidote used to save patients, Pralidoxem.

Most of the fatalities died before they reached hospitals, Tennari said. "If they got to the hospital we can treat them. Two children who took a while before they were lifted out of the rubble died," he said.

Dr. Mohammed Tennari, a radiologist and AbdulHaj Tennari's brother, said Tuesday's attack was more severe than previous ones in the province, most of which used chlorine cylinders.

"Honestly, we have not seen this before. The previous times the wounds were less severe," he said. The doctor, who testified before the United Nations in 2015 about renewed Syrian government use of chemical attacks despite claims it has destroyed its stockpiles, said there was a chlorine smell after Tuesday's attack, but it was mixed with another unknown "toxic gas which causes poison and death."

Mohammed Hassoun, a media activist in the nearby town of Sarmin, where some of the critical cases were transferred, said doctors there also believed it was likely more than one gas. "Chlorine gas doesn't cause such convulsions," he said, adding that doctors suspect sarin was used.

"There are 18 critical cases here. They were unconscious, they had seizures and when oxygen was administered, they bled from the nose and mouth," he told The Associated Press.

Tarik Jasarevic, spokesman for the World Health Organization in Geneva, said in an e-mailed statement that the agency was gathering more information about Tuesday's incident. The Syrian American Medical Society, which supports hospitals in opposition-held territory, also said it had sent a team of inspectors to Khan Sheikhoun and an investigation was underway.

Hussein Kayal, a photographer for the Idlib Media Center, said he was awakened by the sound of a bomb blast around 6:30 a.m., and when he arrived at the scene he found entire families inside their homes unable to move, with their eyes wide open and their pupils constricted. He put on a mask, and he and others took victims to an emergency room. He said he later felt a burning sensation in his fingers and was treated for that.

The province of Idlib, which is almost entirely controlled by the opposition, is home to some 900,000 displaced Syrians, according to the United Nations. Rebels and opposition officials have expressed concerns that the government is planning to mount a concentrated attack on the crowded province.

New York-based Human Rights Watch has accused the Syrian government of conducting at least eight chemical attacks using chlorine gas on opposition-controlled residential areas during the final months of the battle for Aleppo last year that killed at least nine civilians and injured 200. A joint investigation by the United Nations and the international chemical weapons watchdog determined the Syrian government was behind at least three additional attacks in 2014 and 2015 involving chlorine gas, and that the Islamic State group was responsible for at least one, involving mustard gas.

Late Tuesday, Abu Hamdu, a rescue worker in Khan Sheikhoun, said people were still searching for their family members, nearly 12 hours after the attack.

"People are still very lost," he said.

Associated Press writers Philip Issa in Beirut, Vladimir Isachenkov in Moscow, Vivian Salama and Josh Lederman in Washington, and Mike Corder in The Hague, Netherlands, contributed to this report.

Adam Silver: Charlotte eligible to host 2019 All-Star Game

Charlotte is back in the running for an NBA All-Star Game.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – After a repeal of the controversial House Bill 2 was passed by North Carolina lawmakers in March, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says Charlotte will be eligible to host the 2019 NBA All-Star Game.

Silver made the announcement during the league's Board of Governors press conference Friday.

“This is not an easy decision,” said Silver. “The most recent change in the law does not mean the fundamental issues are resolved. But after considering all points of view, we have concluded that Charlotte will be eligible to host the 2019 NBA All-Star Game.”

Charlotte was initially slated to host the 2017 All-Star Game, but the league relocated the All-Star weekend to New Orleans over HB2. Silver said that Charlotte has deep roots within the NBA, and is hopeful that changed attitudes will lead to a national effort toward protecting LGBT citizens.

“When Charlotte resubmits its application, we will need to ensure that our events can proceed with open access and anti-discrimination policies and that we can extend those policies to the venues, hotels, and businesses that we would work with during the All-Star (weekend),” Silver said.

 “Our decision was guided in part by the fact that we have strong roots in North Carolina. We, of course, have an NBA team in Charlotte, and it’s been there for nearly three decades. Twenty-nine NBA teams travel every year to play in Charlotte, stay in its hotels and eat in its restaurants.”

When asked if it's a guarantee the 2019 All-Star Game will be held in Charlotte, Silver said it's not a given the Queen City will host the event.

“It’s not a done deal yet. We now need to go back to Charlotte and ensure that one, all our typical requirements in terms of hotel rooms, other venues that we need for our events, are satisfied, and in addition, we are going to develop an anti-discrimination policy and then ask all of our participating partners to sign onto that policy as part of our All-Star festivities," explained Silver.

"If those requirements are met, it’s our expectation the All-Star festivities will be there for 2019.”

The Charlotte Hornets released the following statement regarding Silver's decision:

“We are excited that the NBA has once again made the City of Charlotte eligible to host All-Star Weekend in 2019. We look forward to resuming our discussions with the league on the next steps regarding this international event. We know that our city, our fans and our business community remain extremely enthusiastic in support of hosting NBA All-Star Weekend.

Additionally, as stewards of Spectrum Center, we are pleased that the NCAA and ACC have chosen to allow previously-scheduled tournament games to remain in our arena and to allow us be considered for future events. Whether it is sporting events, concerts or family shows, Hornets Sports & Entertainment remains committed to providing the best possible entertainment to our city and takes great pride in the fact that Spectrum Center serves as an economic engine for Charlotte.

The Charlotte Hornets and Hornets Sports & Entertainment remain opposed to discrimination of any form.  As we always have, we will continue to provide an inclusive environment for anyone attending an event at Spectrum Center.”'

N.C. General Assembly leaders Tim Moore and Phil Berger released a joint statement Friday afternoon:

“We are encouraged that the NBA expects to award its 2019 All-Star Game to North Carolina and that it shares our long-held belief that private businesses, including potential host venues, have every right to expand on federal non-discrimination policies however they wish.”

> Sanding Belts > 4" x 21-3/4" Cloth Sanding Belts
4" x 21-3/4" Aluminum Oxide Closed Coat Sanding Belts 4" x 21-3/4" Aluminum Oxide Open Coat Sanding Belts
This is a great all purpose abrasive. Manufactured with aluminum oxide grain in a closed coat - which means that close to 100% of the backing is covered in abrasive grain to cut faster and last longer. This full resin bond "X" weight belt is used on hardwoods, aluminum, mild steel, composite and solid surface.
Aluminum Oxide material with an "X" weight backing specifically engineered as an open coat with approximately 30% less grain coverage. This provides gaps in the material to prevent loading and is best used on soft woods like pine, fir or spruce.
4" x 21-3/4" Zirconia Sanding Belts 4" x 21-3/4" Premium Zirconia Sanding Belts
This is an excellent alternative to Aluminum Oxide in a medium grit range. Faster cutting and longer life are the benefits to using this Zirconia and Aluminum Oxide blend. Used on hardwoods, aluminum and mild steel applications.
Premium 100% blue Alumina Zirconia grain for operations where a high stock removal is required. Although it is engineered for use on stainless steel, you will appreciate its strong backing, tough grain and long life on other metals, rubber and leather.
4" x 21-3/4" Silicon Carbide Sanding Belts 4" x 21-3/4" Ceramic Sanding Belts
Suitable for grinding and sanding on glass, plastics, stone, ceramic and non-ferrous metals like brass and bronze. Silicon carbide is one of the sharpest and hardest abrasives and is coated on a heavy polyester cloth backing to provide for a waterproof, tear-resistant sanding belt.
Compared to other conventional abrasive products that immediately begin to lose aggressiveness once grinding begins, ceramic abrasives maintain their cut rate. This reduces grinding time and operator fatigue, while increasing productivity and improving abrasive costs.Great for stainless steel, high carbon steel, alloy & aluminum applications. Wet or dry use and very durable.

A Little Village With a Big Heart

The brightly coloured village of Allihies appears as you traverse the mountain gap at Barnes. Wild and rugged, the village blossoms in the summer months.  Local accommodation fills up with longstanding and new visitors exploring the area, and  the pubs and the cafe are filled to capacity .

Nestled between the Sliabh Mioscais and the Atlantic seaboard, the area provides many opportunities for discovery, leisure and relaxation. The stunning natural scenery is a draw for nature enthusiasts, cyclists and walkers. Ballydonegan, with its sandy beach, is a great place to swim and sunbathe, while the more energetic can walk the copper mine trail, perhaps followed by a pint or two and the craic at one of the three local pubs.

The Michael Dwyer festival, a tribute to the renowned tin-whistler, takes place every year in June and the Allihies family festival takes place every August, centred around the 15th – a week of fun for all the family!

What's in a name?

The journey to our little man's name was a long one.  We picked his name and changed it a few times until we found the one.  The perfect name.

I grew up Jillian Marie.  Jillian because my mom used to teach and she had a little Jillian in her class, whom she adored.  Marie because it sounded nice.  My brother got my dad's name as his middle name and my sister got my mom's.  As a kid I always felt like I missed out because I wasn't named after someone.  My first name didn't even mean something special.  Jillian means "downy soft." Not the apex of meaning.   The one vestige of meaning I clung to was that my name started with a "J" and so do both my grandmother's names.  I remember telling my little friends I was named after them.  Pretty sure I made that up. (Because my parents read this I have to say I actually love my name now and I often am complemented on it, so don't worry Mom and Dad, you didn't totally mess me up. ;-) )

John, on the other hand, has a name with a rich story.  He is what you'd call a "miracle baby."  A baby who came even though the doctors said he wouldn't.  Deep in the depths of gratitude for this new life, his parents named him John, from John 1:6 which says, "There was a man who came from God.  His name was John."  My husband has grown up as a man who came from God.  That is like a million times better than "downy soft" isn't it?!  His middle name- William- is his father's name.  Carrying on a legacy.

When it came time to name our son, there was no room to deviate: it had to be a name that meant something.  That was my goal.

My husband and I both agreed that we also wanted something unique.  But not something Yoo-neek, if you know what I mean.

So: meaningful and unique.

And then we threw in one more objective: we wanted something that honored his Russian heritage.

You can already imagine this was going to be quite the task.

So the first question we had to answer for ourselves, was: do we keep his Russian name? He's two, so he already knows his name.  To us, changing his name felt like robbing him of something and he was already loosing so much.  We wanted to keep his name, but-again- didn't want to step into the yoo-neek name territory.

His name is Artem- also spelled Artyom, which is how it is pronounced in Russian.  "ARE-tee-yom."

Artem means "of pure health." That might not mean very much to the average person, but let me tell you- as his parents, when we started this adoption journey and worried over what it would mean to adopt an institutionalized toddler with an unknown health history/future- discovering the meaning of his name was like a divine whisper.  I will never forget that moment, John and I talking about this adoption- worrying about it- when suddenly out of the blue I said, "Hey I wonder what his name means?"  "Look it up," John said.  I did.  When I read the meaning, "of pure health." John and I both got quiet for a moment.   A divine whisper- not saying "he's perfectly healthy," but rather, "he's perfect in my sight. Whatever health issues come your way, I will equip you.  And someday, in eternity, he will be made perfectly pure."

With that whisper, we decided to keep his name.  Artem.  We've been pronouncing it "are-TEM."One of the favorite names we already had on our "boy names" list was "Arie," which is an old Dutch name- a nod to both our Dutch heritages.  So Artem is his name and we will call him "Arie" - a nickname of sorts.
My brother and sister-in-law bought this for us from a street vendor on their honeymoon to Amsterdam! Love it.

Then came name the middle name.  This was the hard part. I think we tried out five different names with various meanings until we settled on the right one.  I was frustrated one night and decided to pray about it (what a novel concept right- why I hadn't I done this before?).  After my "amen" I turned to my computer and asked God to just please guide me to the right name.

Ten minutes later I had it.

An African name, of all things, but it was the meaning that mattered the most, "the long awaited child.  The celebrated one."

Even more fitting- my mother-in-law's middle name is Kay.  And my sister-in-law, who was also adopted!- has the same initials "AKB."

Artem Kayin Burden.  Our little Arie.

Meaningful.  Yoo-neek Unique.  Russian.

What's in a name?  A lot.  ;-)

  1. I love it! How humbling to be given the gift of choosing a forever name for a child. This is beautiful!

  2. Anonymous11/13/2012

    Thanks for sharing your joyful process. May God bless you on this journey as he obviously already has. ow for the fun part...parenting. May you always be a blessing to each other and in the difficult times and happy times which are to come, may you always hold each other's hands and bless the Lord together. TRenkema

    1. Thank you Professor Renkema! Always so nice to hear from you!

  3. Perfect! :) I love how you'll call him Arie. That seems like such a perfect fit! I have two Arie's in my very Dutch extended family so I'm partial to that name anyway! :)

    I'll be praying as you make your trip to Russia to finally bring your little boy home! SO exciting!!! :) God bless!

  4. Anonymous11/13/2012

    Wonderful choice! I think the name suits and I also like that you are keeping his russian name as well. I also have Arie in my dutch background.

    1. That's awesome! I've heard more people say that since we started telling people. Obviously I love it. I went to school with a guy named Arie too. :-)

  5. What a wonderful and meaningful name. :)

  6. Artem Kayin Burden! I think its a perfect fit! :)
    Side note I love reading your blog, your writing is honest, well thought out, and it tells a wonderful story.
    I think this entry should be in his baby book, so he knows just how he got his name.

  7. Anonymous11/13/2012

    I love his new name! Just found your blog after bouncing adoption blog to adoption blog. I looked up the name to see if there were alternate spellings and I found this which may or may not matter to you. I only know as we named our first born with a name we thought meant one thing when we found out shortly after is not what it really means. We still love her name anyways! Not trying to kill the name spelling, but I thought I would point out it is a female name and the spelling that many Americans use is not appropriate (Kayin - means to lose teeth, not long-awaited child in the real language):

    This name Kayin, is misspelt first of all (as is often done anyways), secondly it does not mean celebrated child per se, there are many other names that signify celebrated children like Oluranti, Abike - Basically indicating how much the parents have wanted the arrival of this child.

    The correct spelling of the name is Kanyin (it doesnt have variations because the Yoruba language does not make allowances for spelling variances). As such one misspelt letter might make the word mean something else as in the case of "Kayin" as you have it spelt which means "to lose teeth". The full name itself is Oluwakanyinsola or Oluwakanyinsolami, the latter specifically relating the meaning of the name to the person in question, hence the "mi" at the end which indicates me, my or mine. The short spellings typically are: Kanyin & Kanyinsola. The name itself literally means "God has added honey to my wealth", which often indicates that the arrival of a child into this family has brought sweetness into the existing wealth. It's the significant equivalence of "drinking a toast to wealth". I know personally because I speak the language and Oluwakanyinsola is my first name!

    1. I did read some information on this in my name research but no it doesn't matter to me. Language evolves and the name Kayin has evolved from it's original spelling to what it is today and is noted in many name meaning sites and books to mean "the long awaited child" or "the celebrated one"and that's what matters to me. I do like the spelling "Kanyin" though! Thanks for sharing Oluwakanyinsola!

  8. What a wonderful name! Congratulations!!!

  9. I think his name sounds like a beautiful melody. Well chosen. :)

  10. stumbled on your post, as I was poking around on the name Artem. Why? well because we named our son Artem as well. I have not met anyone else (in the US) with his name. I am curious to hear what your experience is with his name?

    1. Hi Laurie! How cool to hear another US family using the name Artem! We call him Arie as a nickname which everyone loves but have not had any negative comments to "Artem." We do have some people pronounce it differently than we do (We say "Are-TEM" and they say "ARE-tem.") but no big deal. Do you have Russian heritage?

  11. No Russian heritage, we have a hyphenated last name that is pretty difficult and wanted a name that could stand on its own. My husband was given a Russian name (Dimitri) and we decided to keep the tradition. Initially we called him Army (an outcome of big sister not being able to pronounce his name) but he now is pretty adamant that he is Artem. The only time we have any trouble is with the initial meeting, people not use to hearing the name have a trouble until it is spelled for them, and then it is smooth sailing with occasional misspellings. But it could be worse. :)

  12. I agree. Besides Jill the writer has only indicated that the name Kayin is an African name, there's nothing else to suggest that it is the nigerian name Kanyin that Oluwakanyinsola refers to as there is no variation of the meaning of kanyinsola that would mean or could ever evolve to mean awaited or celebrated child, so it is more likely that this Kayin is simply a correct pronunciation of another African name altogether not the Yoruba Kanyin to which the commenter refers. My second child is also going to be called Kanyinsola and no where is Kanyin ever misspelt as Kayin so I think you may simply be conflating 2 entirely different names. Also it's not a girls name, it's very much a unisex name. I know as many male kanyins as females and there is nothing in the meaning of the name that limits it as female.

I love reading your comments! Those left on posts older than 2 days will require moderation.

SB 157 will cultivate sound, deliberate energy policy

SB 157 will cultivate sound, deliberate energy policy

DENVER—A bill to require the Air Quality Control Commission (AQCC) and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to suspend work on the federal government’s Clean Power Plan until the United States Supreme Court’s stay on the plan is lifted.

Advancing Colorado Executive Director Jonathan Lockwood released the following statement:

“Coloradans believe in sound, responsible energy development and the Clean Power Plan was stayed by the Supreme Court, so the Senate bill to suspend the implementation plan is a common-sense approach to preserve our options and let Colorado set our own course on this issue. Legislative review will allow our representatives to weigh in on energy policy and ensure our voices are heard.”

Senate Bill 157, being heard today in the state’s Senate Agriculture, Natural Resources and Energy Committee, is sponsored by state Sens. Jerry Sonnenberg and John Cooke and state Rep. Tim Dore.

On February 9, 2016, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) stayed the implementation of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) rules to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from existing fossil-fuel-fired, electric generating units under the Clean Air Act.

Contrary to claims the Clean Power Plan will save lives, the plan will actually lead to premature deaths due to its negative impact on the health-wealth connection. According to the non-partisan Institute for Energy Research, the EPA’s new rules cause over 14,000 more deaths by 2030. According to the institute:

“The EPA acknowledged this ‘health-wealth’ connection in the past and has used it in economic analyses, stating: ‘people’s wealth and health status, as measured by mortality, morbidity, and other metrics, are positively correlated. Hence, those who bear a regulation’s compliance costs may also suffer a decline in their health status, and if the costs are large enough, these increased risks might be greater than the direct risk-reduction benefits of the regulation.’”

The measure also requires that Colorado’s Clean Power Plan implementation program be subject to legislative review.

The fiscal note for the bill can be read here.

Becton Property Group (BEC)

Becton Property Group is a Melbourne-based residential developer with two large projects in Sydney now under way. In all, it has a $1 billion-plus pipeline of opportunity if all its projects are to be developed fully over the next few years. But Becton has also been struggling to wind back its heavy debt load and has been forced to write down its assets in the wake of the credit crisis. There is certainly value in the stock and the development side is running well as a business, with about $155 million in settlements forecast over the next two years at its Bonnyrigg and Waterloo projects, in Sydney, where the outlook is improving. There is some uncertainty ahead on the corporate side, with three large private equity players taking up more than 50 per cent of the register. At the same time its main lender, BOS International, is looking to sell down a $200 million parcel of debt. The stock is not paying dividends and has delivered a negative 58 per cent total return in the last 12 months.

QLD slashes surplus target as debt worsens

Queensland’s slower than expected economic recovery has hit the state’s bottom line with bigger deficits predicted and a smaller surplus in 2015-16 when the budget is finally expected to return into the black.

The mid-year budget update released in Brisbane on Wednesday showed taxation and royalty revenue has been revised down over the forward estimates.

A slow-down in the growth of Queensland’s major trading partners and slower than expected recovery in employment growth has flowed through to the state’s bottom line.

Queensland is still expected to deliver a $7.6 billion deficit this financial year, broadly in line with forecasts in the June budget.

Treasurer Tim Nicholls said the Liberal National Party government was still hoping to return to surplus in 2015-16 but the predicted surplus has been trimmed back from $1 billion to $696 million.

The surplus for 2016-17 has also been cut in half to $598 million.

Employment growth has been revised down from 2.25 per cent to 1.75 per cent this financial year but the estimated unemployment rate is expected to remain at 6 per cent in 2013-14.

Coal royalties have been revised down by $324 million over the next four years as well as a deterioration in payroll tax and stamp duty.

The state’s total debt is still due to peak at $81 billion in 2016-17 with asset sales now shaping as the main way for the Newman government to bring debt down to acceptable levels.

“Our task now is to find alternative ways to pay down the debt so we can free up capital for new infrastructure and more of the services Queenslanders want in areas such as health, education and policing," he said.

Mr Nicholls admitted the return of the AAA credit rating, which the former Labor government lost in 2009, remained a long-term project.

In fact, the state could face another credit downgrade before the 2015 election when it will seek a mandate on the sale of its electricity generation companies as well as ports.

Mr Nicholls admitted the delay in selling assets would result in another $4 billion a year interest bill on the debt.

Economic growth is expected to remain at 3 per cent in 2013-14 and next financial, before jumping up to 6 per cent when three big liquified natural gas projects come on line in 2015.

Afternoon D & C Dedicated To Mumbai
Home > City news > Two young architects to spruce up Bandra talao!

Two young architects to spruce up Bandra talao!

Monday, March 20, 2017
By Aishwarya Nair

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is now seeking help from young students to design its infrastructure elements better. Two graduates - Karan Ruparel and Sagar Jhanlani - from Indian Education Society's (IES) College of Architecture, Bandra have already chalked out a plan to revamp the 200-year-old Bandra talao. The site is spread across 5,714 sq.m.

The design proposal was submitted by these architects in November 2016, and the final proposal was presented before Municipal Commissioner Ajoy Mehta earlier this month. Soon after the research work is completed, the work may begin.

The college has started an initiative called 'SPARK' (Study for Planning, Analysis and Research Knowledge), where students act as a research cell and plan and design developmental elements. “The H/West ward officer approached us to take up the project of Bandra talao, so we had started with surveying and research work in June 2016,” said Karan.

Reportedly, around 20 students helped in the research work by visiting the site every day and talking to locals there. They carried out a detailed study on all age-groups of people who visit the place, timings when people visit the talao the most, traffic movements around etc and made the design accordingly. The main aim of their design is to increase footfalls and make the place more accessible to all types of visitors. A lot of new activities are added in their plan to majorly increase the footfalls.

What will be the new additions?
Datum walkway: A 30-meter datum walkway will be created so that visitors can experience the water surface as well as the aquatic life. This enclosed walkway will be 1.80m below the promenade level.

Glass-board walk: The loop of the talao is incomplete and thus people cannot have a complete stroll around it. To bridge this inaccessibility, a glass board walk will be made to connect the unconnected part of talao. People can experience the ripples below their feet while walking.

Stepping Stones: The area near the Gurunank road will be utilised to create stepping stones, an interactive water play for the children.

Sheds: Sheds will be added at many points where people can sit, chat and relax. As per observation of architects, the major portion of talao does not have shade to escape the scorching heat.

Art Installations and reading corners: At many places, art installations will be set up where people can stop by and admire it. Spaces will also be allotted for readers and writers who can enjoy the calmness of the lake too.

More Trees: The new proposal does not intend to remove even a single tree around the talao, instead 10-12 additional palm trees will be planted there.

The troubled talao
The talao remains filthy most of the time since visitors and locals dump their garbage in it, polluting the water body.

In the night, drunkards and drug peddlers visit the place causing security concerns for others.

The locals carry out fishing there illegally and endanger the aquatic species there.

Wildlife may decline due to after-effects of farm bill

PIERRE, S.D. -The potential future loss of the state’s wildlife habitat leaves South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks officials concerned for the future of wildlife.

This year, there were 42,352 acres of South Dakota land submitted by landowners for the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) during general sign-up. Of the land offered, 101 acres were accepted in South Dakota, said Mark Norton, the hunting access and farm bill coordinator for GF&P, on Monday.

That’s despite the approximately 58,000 acres in South Dakota that are set to expire on Sept. 30.

One of the goals of CRP is to provide habitat for wildlife, and cuts to the program could negatively impact wildlife populations, said Norton. The program is designed to set marginal acreage aside for wildlife habitat and pays landowners to do so.

“It really impacts all wildlife species,” Norton said. “Pheasants and deer are more notable because they are game species that hunters pursue, but it impacts the full ecosystem all the way from insects, reptiles, amphibians, birds all the way up to coyotes and humans.”

The severity of the impact will vary around the state, but Norton said there will “definitely be noticeable reductions of wildlife populations.” And the effects of the cut don’t stop there, Norton said. Financial issues could also ensue.

Due to a section of the farm bill passed in the U.S. Legislature in 2014, the national amount of acres allowed in CRP was capped from 32 million to 24 million by fiscal year 2017 and 2018, according to the National Agricultural Law Center at the University of Arkansas. Since the federal fiscal year ends Sept. 30, 2016, the 8 million acre cut is expected to be met by then.

“Really the only thing that can be done to help improve these programs or add money to improve acres is for congressional and senate representation to do what they can in Washington, D.C. to make sure these programs continue and increase, if possible,” Norton said.

If, and when, the government passes another farm bill, Norton said they will most likely receive pressure from conservationists to increase the cap, and if commodity prices stay low, landowners will want a higher cap as well.

Landowners can get paid for CRP land anywhere from $32 to $239 an acre depending on the productivity of the soils, Norton said.

But, Congress will also have pressures to cut budget deficit nationwide, Norton said. So, it won’t be easy to increase funding to any conservation programs.

“They’re playing a balancing act in Washington, D.C.,” Norton said. “I believe next year there will be quite a few more acres expiring, so they may do another general sign-up. But, without a doubt, it’s going to be more competitive, and there will be less of an opportunity for producers and landowners to enroll in CRP.”

Since the cap for CRP acreage has been lowered by 8 million acres, this forces the United States Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency (FSA) to be more selective when allocating the acreage. The national FSA office allocates acres for both general and continuous sign-up.

Each offer of land through the general sign-up is only accepted during a set time period and is ranked on an Environmental Benefits Index. Norton said this rank is based on criteria such as the type of cover the landowner plans to seed, the soils and how erosive they are, air quality, water quality and wildlife habitat points. Then, based on the offers’ ranking nationwide, the national FSA decides which offers get accepted.

There is also continuous enrollment for CRP, which like the name implies, accepts offers at any time. But, there are different acres allotted to each continuous initiative or program by the national FSA, and once people have signed up and been approved for all the acres allotted, no one else can enter the initiative or program until those contracts expire. Each contract lasts 10 to 15 years. The state may ask for additional acreage to be allotted for specific continuous programs or initiatives, but the allotment may not be granted.

Though Norton does not have more up to date numbers, he said as of May, a few continuous programs have acre availability. The Duck Nesting Habitat Initiative had more than 9,000 acres open, the Wetlands Restoration Initiative (both floodplain and non-floodplain) had more than 43,000 acres and the Farmable Wetlands Program had more than 15,000 acres.

In theory, general sign-up should allow more acres to be enrolled at the same time than continuous sign-up because, for continuous sign-up, certain acres are allocated for different initiatives and are targeted for specific environmental benefits, Norton said. But, general sign-up enrollment has been less than half of continuous enrollment in South Dakota for a few years.

Total CRP enrollment as of May 2016 was 976,799 acres in South Dakota. Of that, 303,502 acres were from general sign-up.

“General (sign-up) used to make up more acres than what was enrolled in continuous. It has transitioned that way because South Dakota has become less competitive in general sign-up and we’ve done a pretty good job of creating initiatives that work for South Dakota producers,” Norton said. “And so, they have figured out continuous is easier and more convenient to get what (land) they want into the CRP program, and it has accumulated over time.”

As of Sept. 30, 2016, about 58,000 acres are set to expire from CRP in South Dakota. In 2017 and 2018, more than 46,000 and 51,000 acres are set to expire, respectively. But, for the 2016 federal fiscal year, which lasts from Oct. 1, 2015 to Sept. 30, 2016, over 60,000 acres have been enrolled through the continuous CRP sign-up.

So, the enrollment from continuous sign-up for 2016 has offset the loss of acres expiring from the program this year and increased the statewide total.

“We’ve been kind of fortunate to be bucking that trend the last 3-4 years now, so we can maintain the total. The total enrollment is probably the highest statewide total CRP acres we’ve had now in almost 5 years,” Norton said. “But, I guess I’m not sure if that will continue next (fiscal) year because it will be the first year restricted by the 24 million cap. Even the continuous initiatives that are still available for enrollment, I’m not sure how many more acres will be allocated to them once they are gone, so total CRP acres may start declining again next year.”

Erin began her fitness journey at the tender age of 4, becoming involved in a variety of styles of dance & movement: gymnastics, tumbling, tap, ballet, and jazz, while also learning baton to name just a few. Her blessed journey into yoga began at age 10 on accident. Her mother sent Erin to her room for being a little too sassy with her. (No need to worry 😉 her sassiness is still as fierce as ever). After many hours of not being still grounded to her room, Erin would still not come to the dinner table. Soon her mother realized what a gift she had given her by taking away the technological disruptions (a.k.a T.V. & computers). Erin was having such a great time by herself in her room doing her yoga poses she didn’t eat dinner that evening. The headstands, splits, forward and back bending seemed to have nourished her plenty, so no food was desired. She began learning more as the youngest student in a twice weekly yoga class. She was hooked and continued a regular yoga practice throughout her primary education & into college. Sincerely wanting to share this art & love of yoga she was accepted into a yoga teacher training program in 2005 led by world-renowned yoga teachers In the ashtanga lines of Pattabi Jois & Krishnamacharya.

ABX is a complete exercise regimen based on Active Internal Resistance principles, combined with yogic philosophy, cardiovascular, and a foundation of core strength.
Erin is forever grateful to these many teacher and mentors. Having an opportunity to practice and teach at SWIHA, Bodyworks, Inner Vision, At One yoga, Bikram of Tempe and Paradise Valley, Goodyear Yoga, Yoga of Gilbert, South Mountain Community Colleges, along with countless private yoga sessions through out Phoenix and Las Vegas.

Erin became a Certified Yoga teacher in 2005 and has taught a wide range of classes and students of various levels since then. She personally maintains a daily yoga practice. Over the last ten years Erin has studied and trained utilizing Pilates, kettle bells, running, resistance/weight training, barre,bootcamp style classes, cycling and spinning, and more. In 2005 Erin began to develop a unique fitness program which has evolved into what exists today as “ABX”. Erin incorporates essential oils, herbs and supplements into her healthy lifestyle. Erin’s other interests include preparing healthy food, music, singing, dancing, reading, and laughing. She enjoys traveling with her best friend, meeting new people and experiencing new adventures. She currently makes her home in Phoenix, AZ.

Rep. Young’s Opening Statement at Alaska Native Villages Field Hearing

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Alaska Congressman Don Young delivered the following opening statement at the House Natural Resources Committee’s Field Hearing in Fairbanks on "Federal Laws and Policies Affecting Energy Prices in Rural Alaska and their Effects on Native Villages":

"A priority of the Committee on Natural Resources is to remove federal obstacles in the way of developing America’s vast energy resources.  The Committee ordinarily conducts its business in Washington, D.C., but today we bring the Subcommittee on Indian and Alaska Native Affairs to the heart of Alaska to hear Alaskans discuss the impact of federal laws and policies on energy prices and their affect on life in Native villages, and what we can do to increase production of homegrown energy.

"Abundant, low-cost energy underpins America’s entire economy, freedom of movement, and way of life.  It is what has made America the world leader in industrial production since immediately after the Civil War, a status in question today.

"Closer to home, the very survival of rural Alaska is at stake.

"What is the Obama Administration doing about it?  Well, the Secretary of Energy says he wants to see European prices for fuel.  The President declared he wanted to electricity prices to “necessarily skyrocket.”

"What people in Washington don’t understand is that when they say that energy should be more expensive so people will use less, more expensive energy is the last thing rural Alaska needs. Villages are already paying European prices for fuel.  Are they really better off?  Of course not.

"In order to have any kind of economy, it takes affordable energy, and Alaska already pays the highest costs in rural areas in the country.  Where high energy prices are prolonging an economic recession for the country, in Alaska, they are creating a crisis, threatening the village economy, culture, and way of life that has stretched back to time immemorial.

"The sad thing about these policies is that not only does Alaska have the highest prices, we also have so much energy under government lands here that we could help bring the entire nation’s prices down while providing good jobs in our communities.  Alaska is a huge energy storehouse that could help power our nation and our nation’s recovery and it’s time to unwrap the green tape that is killing us.

"In short, our country is not experiencing a lack of raw materials.  It’s a lack of political will in Washington, DC.  We are in the midst of a man-made shortage of energy resources.

"Since President Obama took office, total fossil fuel production from federal lands has dropped by seven percent, and the price of gasoline has doubled.

"More and more rural Alaskan residents find themselves with no other choice than to move away from villages to large urban centers to find employment, easier access to health care, and a lower cost of living.  The result is a drain of the villages’ most important resource:  people.  People moving away from the village threaten the viability of Native culture stretching back to time immemorial.

"It doesn’t have to be this way.  Alaskans have been eager to contribute to the nation’s energy supply, if only this Administration would let them.

"Today, I want to bring back to Washington, D.C., the impacts of federal laws and policies on rural Alaska, and how Alaska can play a central role in the energy security of our great nation."
