Extractions: STUDENT-BUILT HOME IS READY FOR INSPECTION In anticipation of the houses upcoming sale by silent sealed bid auction, the 1,200 square foot modular home constructed by Prince William County Public Schools building trades students will be open to the public for inspection on Saturday, July 12, from 9:00 a.m. until 11 a.m. A minimum bid for the house has not yet been finalized, but may be obtained at the open house, by calling 703-791-7297 after July 12th or visiting the houses web site at www.pwcs.edu/cte/house. The purchaser will be required to transport the modular house to his or her own lot within 30 days of being notified of their successful bid. The proceeds from the sale of this house will help finance the next one, to begin construction in the fall of 2003, as the sales of previous houses have financed the succeeding ones. The house is located behind Forest Park High School, 15721 Spriggs Road, Woodbridge, at the intersection of Spriggs Road and Route 234. Those attending the open house should drive around the building to the fenced in area at the rear of the school. The house was constructed during the 2002-2003 school year under the supervision of a licensed and certified building trades instructor. The house plans were evaluated by a state approved engineering firm who conducted site inspections during the construction of the home. This allows the owner to erect the home on a lot anywhere in the state of Virginia. The permits are for the modular units only. The owner will need to obtain permits and inspections in the county in which the house is completed. These permits may include but are not limited to: foundation plan, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC.

Extractions: HOME BUILDERS INSTITUTE AND DELMAR LEARNING PUBLISH FIRST TRADES TRAINING MATERIALS BASED ON INDUSTRY STANDARDS November 18, 2002, Washington, DC and Albany, NY - With an anticipated record in new housing starts for the year, the nation's home builders got more good news today. Almost a year to the day the Home Builders Institute (HBI), the workforce development arm of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), and Delmar Learning, a part of the Thomson Corporation (NYSE: TOC; TSX; TOC), announced their historic publishing agreement, the first instructional materials in the Residential Construction Academy Series - Carpentry and Electrical Principles - are ready for distribution. HBI and Delmar Learning's Residential Construction Academy Series is a complete trades training program based on standards developed by NAHB's employer members and educators collaborating to bridge the gap between industry know-how and craft instruction in the 21st century. In addition to quality instructional materials including textbooks, videos, CD-ROMs and on-line resources, the Series offers credentialing for training and education programs, as well as a national registry of students who have completed units of instruction. The Series brings together HBI and the housing industry's expertise and Delmar Learning's extensive construction trade publishing and sales network. According to Jud Motsenbocker, HBI Chairman of the Board of Trustees, "We are proud to be part of this effort. These national standards are exactly what residential construction training needs. The state-of-the art materials they helped shape are what every instructor could ever hope for to teach our industry's next generation of builders and remodelers."

Extractions: Im sorry I couldnt be with you all today. As you may know, Im about to go in for some minor surgery on my right shoulder. Always seems like Im having some problems with the right wing these days. We know that we have a long fight ahead of us and we know that for working Americans everywhere, the stakes in this election have never been higher. Since George Bush took office, three million Americans have lost their jobs. Long-term unemployment is at its highest level in twenty years and manufacturing jobs are at a fifty year low. Four million more have lost their health insurance, and the middle-classs share of the tax burden has gone up while wages have gone down. This President has tried to cut overtime pay for millions of working Americans. And today, the one millionth American has lost their unemployment benefits because this President refused to extend them one day longer. Working Americans deserve better. You deserve the ability to get ahead in return for hard work. You deserve a President who will stand up for the right to organize. You deserve a Secretary of Labor from the House of Labor. And most importantly, you deserve a President who puts jobs first. Thats why last week I laid out my plan to create 10 million jobs in four years. Well do it by ending the incentives for companies to ship jobs overseas, and by creating new incentives for businesses to create good jobs right here at home.

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime. For decades, skilled journeyworkers have been passing down their knowledge about everything from roofing and electrical work to painting and carpentry to eager apprentices ready to learn. New York state recognized the important practice in 2001 when legislators passed a law allowing school boards and local governments to require bidders on construction projects to have a state-approved apprenticeship program. "Apprenticeship programs provide opportunities for our young men and women to earn a good living while they are employing their skills," said Jeff Stark, an organizer with the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades' District Council 9 in Albany. IUPAT has run its training program for more than 20 years. The law, Stark said, provides another tool for time-pressed school board members to use when searching for the lowest responsible bidder. "Why would they want to trust those projects to contractors who are not responsible enough to provide training for their workers?"

Extractions: April 9, 2003 TRANSCRIPT - TRANSCRIPT - TRANSCRIPT I didn't choose the song, but I'll take it. [laughter]. First of all let me thank you for inviting all of us this morning. A reporter said to me [?today], Reverend Al, are you going to be there? I said, yes, why? He said, well this is not your crowd. I said, well that's what's wrong with the climate that this administration has built. They have put us all in different sections and different crowds rather than realizing that if all the crowds come together we can have relations and we'll take care of these people. [applause]. On September 11th, September 11th when those terrorists attacked the World Trade Center and attacked the Pentagon, they did not send a memo for Blacks to leave the building; they did not send a e-mail for Latinos to leave the building; they didn't tell Asians, don't come to work that morning. They killed all of us as Americans and if we can all die as Americans, we can all live as Americans. [applause]. The fact of the matter is that unfortunately and painfully it was mostly workers that was killed that morning. The bosses were probably still on their way in from the suburbs. And it has always been the workers that have had to bear the brunt of this country. But then when it is time for the country to share with the workers, we come up missing. I've been in the civil rights movement all of my life. I saw one candidate show you his union card. I can show you my [inaud.] card. But more than my union card, I can show you my shoe leather. 'Cause I've marched more labor picket lines than anybody not only running, but even thinking about running. [applause]. I could also show you the marks on my wrist from going to jail in labor [?city] demonstrations. I know unquestionably, unequivocally I've been to jail more times than anybody running for president of the United States. [applause].

Sources of Additional Information Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top Brickmasons, blockmasons, and stonemasons work in closely related trades creating attractive, durable surfaces and structures. The work varies in complexity, from laying a simple masonry walkway to installing an ornate exterior on a highrise building. Brickmasons and who often are called simply bricklayers Stonemasons Because of the expense associated with building corner leads, most brickmasons use corner poles, also called masonry guides, that enable them to build an entire wall at the same time. They fasten the corner poles (posts) in a plumb position to define the wall line and stretch a line between them. This line serves as a guide for each course of brick. Brickmasons then spread a bed of mortar (a cement, sand, and water mixture) with a trowel (a flat, bladed metal tool with a handle), place the brick on the mortar bed, and press and tap the brick into place. Depending on blueprint specifications, brickmasons either cut bricks with a hammer and chisel or saw them to fit around windows, doors, and other openings. Mortar joints are then finished with jointing tools for a sealed, neat, uniform appearance. Although brickmasons typically use steel supports, or lintels, at window and door openings, they sometimes build brick arches, which support and enhance the beauty of the brickwork.

Extractions: To prepare for the competition, middle-schoolers work in teams of two or three to design buildings, draw scaled plans, estimate costs and construct three-dimensional foam core models. No ginger-bread houses or card castles; this is big-time professional. On March 4, the UMKC Center for Construction Excellence ushered more than 3,000 of the area's young and pliable minds into the Fifth Annual Middle School Design-Build Competition. It was held at the MCC Business and Technology Center in Kansas City, Mo. The Center for Construction Excellence's event grew as a result of research showing that students stop choosing math, science and English courses as they move into high school. "By demonstrating to students how these subjects are used in the real world of construction, it is hoped that they will continue to take upper-level math, science, English and technology classes and become better- prepared to enter the world of work or college," explains Dr. Janet Paulson-Smith, the Center's executive director. More than 100 construction, engineering, contracting firms and labor unions sponsored the event. Construction spending averages almost $700 billion per year in the U.S. and is the country's second largest employer, with over seven million workers in the industry. However, govern-ment reports confirm the construction workforce is dwindling. Fewer high school and college students are interested, or have the necessary skills, to pursue the field. Robin Floyd, marketing manager at Turner Construction Co., explains the need for a new batch of bright minds: "In the next decade, we'll lose a lot of skilled workers to retirement," she says. "Young people just aren't encouraged into construction. They may think of it as 'unglamorous,' get-your-hands-dirty. Where the truth is, there's much more to this industry than swinging a hammerthere are countless professional, lucrative opportunities."
