Unemployment Falls to 7.6 Percent; Job Gains Slow Considerably
The jobless rate sinks to its lowest point since December 2008. That's not necessarily good news.
The unemployment rate ticked downward to 7.6 percent in March, its lowest rate since December 2008. Yet that's not necessarily great news. The latest jobs report from the Labor Department shows that employers added 88,000 jobs in March, the Labor Department reported Friday. That's well below consensus expectations of 193,000, according to Bloomberg, and is also a significant slowdown from February's 268,000.
[READ: Payroll Firm Estimates 158,000 New Jobs in March]
That's not to say that the report was altogether a disappointment. The report did show some job growth, however, in both January and February. January's nonfarm payrolls figure was revised upward from 119,000 to 148,000, and February's jobs figure was revised up from 236,000 to 268,000. That's a combined 61,000 more jobs than previously estimated.
The strongest job growth last month came from professional and business services, a broad category that includes workers such as architects and lawyers, which added 51,000 jobs. Health care and social assistance, a category that has been strong throughout the recovery, added nearly 28,000 jobs.
Construction also continued to grow, adding 18,000 jobs. Construction job growth is viewed as a barometer of the health of the housing market. Meanwhile, retail lost over 24,000 jobs, the government shed 7,000 jobs, and manufacturing subtracted 3,000 jobs.

The declines in retail jobs may suggest that Americans have pulled back on their spending, forcing retailers to make cuts. Public sector employment has also been a notable weak spot in the job market over much of the recovery, as governments at every level have dealt with lower tax revenues and have cut their spending.
But why the decline in the jobless rate when employers added so few jobs? That's due to a decline in a measure called the labor force participation rate. The unemployment rate counts the number of people who are jobless and actively looking for a job as a share of the total labor force – the population of people who either have a job or are seeking one.
That means that if lots of people get fed up with the job search and stop looking – a sure sign of problems in the job market – the jobless rate also falls. The labor force participation rate is currently at 63.3 percent, down 0.2 percentage points from February and 0.5 points from one year ago.
[READ: The 10 Lowest-Paid Jobs in America]
Sequestration has also been a big buzzword in discussions of jobs numbers; the Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the automatic spending cuts that went into effect on March 1 could mean 750,000 fewer jobs this year. However, sequestration's effects likely did not show up in the March report, says Conrad DeQuadros, senior economist at research firm RDQ Economics.
Economists differ on what those effects will eventually look like, but DeQuadros believes that the effects will be minimal, meaning reduced hours and furloughs – not layoffs – for most workers.
Altogether, he believes that job growth will stick closer to 200,000 per month for the rest of the year. That would bring about welcome improvements in the job market and unemployment rate, though in the broader context of the recession's effects, it's slow growth.
"We really need to see employment growth stronger than that to bring the unemployment rate down quickly. It's still very elevated," he says.
Another expert agrees that the job market will only see moderate improvement throughout 2013.
"For the remainder of this year, assuming no external shocks the first half of the year, we will see sustained increases in nonfarm employment of around 200 to 225,000," says Patrick O'Keefe, director of economic research at CohnReznick.
"But I think it's important to emphasize that those numbers suggest that we are going from a crawl to a jog. And there's no anticipation that the labor market will begin to sprint anytime soon."

By JEROD CLAPP
A path for a new $2 million general obligation bond was started by the board of trustees of the New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated School Corp. at Monday's meeting.
The board voted unanimously in favor of a preliminary resolution for a bond that would fund technology, security and renovation projects across the district. The resolution does not bind the district to spending any money on those projects right now, but allows it to reimburse itself with any up-front costs associated if it ever sold a bond.
The last $2 million general obligation bond, approved in August 2012, paid for wireless access expansion and a proprietary fiber cable network for the district. Sal Costanzo, director of technology, said now he's asking for $900,000 of the new bond to increase security on the network and telephone lines, as well as adding more wireless access points and begin laying groundwork for the district's own cloud network.
He said as the district begins laying out plans for a 1:1 computing initiative for students, some staff are already clamoring to use their own portable computers on campus.
"I've already been asked, 'Hey, now that we have wall-to-wall wireless, why can't we just start to do this, bring our stuff in?'" Costanzo said. "The reason is we can't just open it wide up without putting the proper safety mechanisms in place first."
Costanzo said the new security measures and internal network should set the district up for the next phase of their student computing endeavors.
Bill Wiseheart, director of facilities, also presented a plan to upgrade security on campuses across the district.
He said with nearly $1.1 million, the district would get better security cameras, have better control of building access with employees, renovate the former Galena Elementary School for Floyd Central High School's use and improve parking and the main entrance for Georgetown Elementary School.
He said school security improvements would include replacement and possibly downsizing of security cameras in schools with more effective digital cameras. He said that, paired with internal locks for about 500 classrooms and external door and window glass could make schools more secure.
He said changing access badges for employees would make it easier for them to get in and out of buildings, while also making it easier to deactivate an employee's access if they don't return their badges after leaving their jobs.
But he said remodeling the former Galena Elementary School for use of Floyd Central, possibly for their Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps program, would cost just a little more than the original estimate to renovate its heating, ventilation and air conditioning system when they decided to close the school in March 2010.
Snyder said with the passage of the resolution, the board isn't obligated to pay anything for any project yet. He scheduled a work session for board members at 5 p.m. on July 15, which would be followed with a public hearing and the consideration of a resolution to sell the bond on Aug. 12.
In other news at the meeting:
• The board approved a two-year master contract with the NA-FC Bus Drivers Association. The contract includes a 1 percent raise, as well a .5 percent increase to their retirement matching funds.
• The board also unanimously approved Tammy Swarens as the new principal of S. Ellen Jones Elementary School. Terry Boutin, principal, announced her retirement.
• The board approved a new two-year contract for Bill Briscoe, assistant superintendent. His salary was set at about $110,000.
• The board approved a pay and benefit scale for food service employees. The district's contract with the employees ends in July.

We had to order this in a very short timetable. Geraldine was great to get this delivered for us in time and to the correct address. We wish we were able to imprint our logo but that was due to our limited time rather than branders.com
The printing, placement, and color of my logo were perfect! The cost for everything was wonderful- far more affordable than other sites. Everything was more or less what I expected so I don't have any dislikes about the products.
I work in behavioral healthcare and this was a giveaway at a conference. Everyone thought it was clever and smart. It was a good source of exercise as well as a message of good health.

August 2, 2014
Columbus, Ohio (AP) -- The Columbus School District has agreed to pay a half million dollars to the family of a 6-year-old boy who was struck and killed by a school bus outside an elementary school.
Police said the January 2007 accident happened when Asa Mayles left his grandmother's car and ran across the street in front of the bus. The first-grader later died at a hospital.
The school district's insurer will pay another $175,000, on top of the $500,000 the district will pay out of its general fund.
School District Counsel Larry Braverman says the family hadn't yet filed a lawsuit. He says the settlement, approved by the school board Tuesday, was reached to prevent the suit.
Asa's mother, Jessica Cruz, says she originally asked the district for $2 million, but settled for less to prevent the ordeal of a trial.

Getting ready for a red carpet event can end up being more exhausting than the actual event itself! And if you've been keeping up with the Golden Globes, SAG Awards, the Grammys and the upcoming Academy Awards, you're tuned into how intently the press scrutinizes nominees appearances'! Beauty guru, Stacy Cox is here with some of the best kept beauty secrets straight from the red carpet!
Here's a list of Stacy's "go-to" red carpet beauty products:
The Red Lip: CoverGirl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balms www.covergirl.com or www.target.com
Try: Ruby Twist or Scarlett Twist
Stacy spoke with Bruce Grayson, Tom Cruise's "go to" makeup artist. Bruce was backstage at the Grammys this year touching up EVERYONE. He said the red lip was 90% of what he was perfecting before celebs and dancers went onstage. He advised Stacy to tell viewers to get a Ruby Twist Jumbo Gloss Balm because the mango/shea butter infusion nourishes your pucker BUT avoids that "hair sticking to your lip" drama that often occurs when tresses and gloss somehow meet in the middle.
The Matte Face: Olay Total Effects Tone Correcting CC Cream www.olay.com
Bruce and Stacy chatted about how they weren't seeing a lot of faux tans on the red carpet this season. Everyone is looking much more natural and opting for a matte finish vs. using lots of highlighter. To achieve this effect, one of the new stars to hit drugstore shelves is Olay's new Tone Correcting CC Cream, which has a built-in Essential Glucosamine Complex to even out uneven skin tones and support your face with a more matte finish, similar to the look sported by celebrities like Naomi Watts and Sofia Vergara.
NYX Cosmetics Makeup Setting Spray www.nyxcosmetics.com
Demand perfection! For that freshly made-up look that lasts, the secret is to set your makeup so your glam look resists unwanted color fade. Try misting your complexion with NYX Makeup setting Sprays. They're lightweight and comfortable, while working hard to make sure your makeup stays put. When you take the time to get your makeup right, it's nice to keep it looking that way. Available in a gorgeous matte, it keeps makeup looking fresh with that "just applied" look from day to night. Lucy Liu's makeup artist Kristofer Buckle used the spray to help set her gorgeous look at the Golden Globes.
The "Mani Cam" Trend: Nails Inc. "Bling It On Rebel" nail kits with Swarovski elements www.nailsinc.com or www.sephora.com
Nail art was given much more focus on the red carpet this year, thanks to E!'s red carpet coverage and use of the "Mani Cam," in which stars would walk their painted nails down a tiny red carpet that caught an image of their blinged out fingers! J Lo definitely made a statement with her opaque nails with embellished gold script. For your own nail bling, turn to Nails Inc.'s "Bling It On Rebel" kit, which uses real Swarovski elements to add texture and depth to a basic manicure.
When Good Gowns Go Wrong: Starmaker Products "Fashion Stick" (www.starmakerproducts.com or www.drugstore.com)
If you caught Julianne Moore's black and white floral Chanel dress at the SAG awards, it was one of the most fabulous dresses that took its wearer for a walk. The proportions were all wrong and the dress required a taller person. But I would have loved to try Starmaker's "Fashion Stick" on her to pull up the dress' straps so it didn't look so slouchy. Fashion Stick is hypo-allergenic and 100% safe on skin. It won't stain and washes off of fabric and skin with just water. It's another great tool to stash in your evening bag for wardrobe emergencies and malfunctions.
The Old Hollywood Glamour Girl: Goody Spin Pins www.target.com
As seen on Jennifer Lopez, Amy Adams, Nicole Richie and Megan Fox. When you see the Veronica Lake-inspired finger wave look that throws back to old Hollywood and the hair is slung to the side, Stacy wonders how it stays put. She asked Kathy Griffin's hair guru Charles B. Strahan, who shared the secret: it's pinned in place! She suggests trying Goody Spin Pins for up do's, half up/half down styles and a push to the side when you need a little added glamour to your tresses.
Go Hollywood, Seattle! www.facebook.com/CrestWhiteStrips
Win an all-expenses-paid trip to Hollywood in May to attend the Young Hollywood Awards. Your date will be Cat Deeley, host of "So You Think You Can Dance." You'll also receive $500 in spending money and an appointment with a personal stylist to have your hair and makeup done. Deadline to enter is March 8.
The Starving Starlet
It's common knowledge that many actresses are literally sewn into their gown for red carpet occasions. So, these ladies aren't eating a lot on the day of the big event. The trick is the take an empty mint tin and fill it with a combination of almonds and walnuts for an infusion of protein when you're needing some fuel and the red carpet dinner is still hours away. Toss the tin in your evening bag when you're on the go!

Four Tet is the moniker of Kieran Hebden (born 1978, London, England) a post-rock and electronic musician. Hebden first came to prominence as a member of the band Fridge before establishing himself as a solo artist under the name Four Tet. Hebden's music typically eschews the traditional pop song format in favor of a more abstract approach, as his sound and melodies incorporate elements of hip hop, electronica, techno, jazz, and folk music with live instrumentation. He attended Elliott School in London, where he formed the band Fridge with classmates Adem Ilhan and Sam Jeffers. The band signed a recording contract when Hebden was 15, and released their first album in March 1997. Hebden began... Continue Bio >>

HOUSTON – All charges have been dropped against Carlton Berry, the man who was first accused in the shooting on the campus of Lone Star College.
The shooting happened Jan. 22 at Lone Star College's North Harris County campus. Berry was wounded in the shooting and was arrested shortly after the gunfire that led to a campus-wide lockdown.
Berry appeared in court Monday morning along with Trey Foster, the second man charged in the shooting. Both are 22 years old.
"I'm out, I'm good, it is what it is," Berry said.
It was originally thought that Berry was the only shooter, and that he accidentally shot himself while putting the gun back in his pants. Last week Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia publically called Berry responsible for the shooting. Now he says it was the charges that forced the truth out of Berry, who would not talk to investigators before they were filed.
"I'm not going to apologize, I owe him no apologies, this is an investigation that is still in progress," he said. "Until this case is ultimately adjudicated it remains an open investigation."
Investigators now believe the incident happened after someone bumped into Foster, and he became upset and allegedly opened fire. Foster was captured Friday in Plano and a gun was recovered. Foster is charged with resisting arrest and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He's being held on $100,000 bond. If released, he must wear a GPS and can't go within 1,000 feet of the school or victims' homes.
Foster's family said he only had the gun because he had been recently threatened and was scared.
"Because he had been shot in the face in a prior shooting, as a victim he got the gun to protect himself," said Quanell X.
Quanell X said the gun was legally purchased.
None of this matters much to the family of Jody Neal, another man who was shot during the altercation.
"At the end of the day nothing warrants anybody shooting somebody as many times as he did," said Debra McGregor, Neal's aunt.
Neal's family said Foster was the aggressor and no matter what he had no business with a gun on campus.

With so many employers concentrated in one convenient location, Career Days/Job Fairs offer a particularly efficient way to advance your search. At these events, you can research companies, identify available positions, hone your job-hunting skills, meet hiring managers and perhaps even land an immediate job offer. To be successful you must devise a game plan for the event.
During The Career Day
- Arrive early & beat the crowd to avoid long lines.
- Dress neatly. Although some of the employers may dress in casual business attire, the job seekers should upgrade their attire. Professional dress in suits or dresses makes a positive statement about the candidates' seriousness in gaining employment.
- Take plenty of resumes.
- Make eye contact immediately when introducing yourself & greet the recruiter/interviewer with a firm handshake.
- Remember the representative's name; if not, casually refer to their nametag.
- Be articulate and sell yourself. Show confidence in your voice. The room will be noisy, and if they can't hear you they won't remember you.
- Avoid using filler words such as "um," "like," "ya know."
- Smile and be polite - enthusiasm is an important quality.
- Ask other attendees what they learned from the recruiters and compare notes.
- Explore all your options. Speak with employers that you had not considered before; they may have various types of employment opportunities.
- Ask for a business card to be used for your thank you letter.
After The Career Day
- Send a thank you letter. It can bring attention to your name.
- Include your resume with the thank you letter.
- Conduct a follow-up telephone call. When calling, be prepared and know/practice what you are going to say beforehand.
- Check to make sure that your application is complete.

Citrus has a long history in California. From their introduction by the Spanish in the Mission groves to the ubiquitous backyard trees of Southern California, citrus and California are interconnected the way that few places and plants are.
Now our citrus paradise is under a threat of historic proportions. Two weeks ago Huanglongbing (HLB) was discovered in a backyard in Hacienda Heights.
HLB--Yellow Dragon Disease--is known in the West as Citrus Greening and is a bacterial disease with no known cure. Its vector is the Asian psyllid, an aphid sized citrus pest that can transmit the disease from tree to tree. HLB was first discovered in Southeast Asia in the early 20th century and has been slowly devastating the citrus growing world.
California was the last citrus growing region on earth without the disease. For a while, it was thought that our climate was too dry to support the psyllid and HLB. However, the insect was found in 2008 in San Diego county and on March 30 the disease was found in Hacienda Heights.
While the psyllid is pretty easy to identify, the early symptoms of the disease are a bit trickier as they appear very similar to the symptoms of a nitrogen deficiency, with mottled yellowing of the green leaves. As the disease progresses, the symptoms are easier to recognize with dried up, bitter, and misshapen fruit. The final stages of the disease are always the same. Death.
Backyard gardeners are the last line of defense against this threat. I urge you strongly to check your trees for the psyllid or signs of the disease and contact the California Department of Agriculture (1-800-491-1899) immediately if you notice anything.
You should know that if your tree is found to have HLB, it will be destroyed. Should your tree be infested with psyllids, your tree and a 500 yard radius around it will be sprayed with chemical pesticides to destroy any psyllids.
This is an act that I am usually totally against, and one that I don't take lightly as I can remember the spraying of malathion over the city during the med-fly scare.
Yet while the consequences of reporting an infested tree are severe, the consequences of doing nothing are unthinkable. The devastation to California's citrus industry would be widespread and would come at a terrible time for the state's economy.
Yet, this is not just a threat for the citrus industry, but also for the countless families that keep citrus trees in their backyards. Citrus are some of the easiest and most rewarding fruit trees to tend and there is nothing like a sun ripened orange picked from your tree.
My great grandmother understood this when she planted a navel orange in her yard in Lincoln Heights in the 1930's. We still get a crop from that tree every winter and we also get fruit from the trees my children helped plant in our own yard a some years back. Growing citrus is one of the great priveleges of living in Southern California, a privilege that I hope will endure for generations to come. Please help. Please check your trees.

Brock's Amy Henard proved to be the most valuable of a bumper crop of high-calibre prep volleyball players. Henard, who led the Lady Eagles to their first-ever state volleyball championship, displayed proficiency in virtually every aspect of her game — from setting to serving, from digging to kills — and is named the All-Parker County Most Valuable Player.
The volleyball programs in Parker County made new strides in 2012. While there have certainly been no shortages in the local talent pool in past years, the heights reached by the area prep teams in the season just completed could be hard-pressed to find an equal.
The melting pot of accomplishments for local teams, and the individual kudos for its elements, is impressive, to say the very least.
> The 2012 season produced three undefeated district champions (Aledo, Springtown and Brock) in Parker County. There were also two district runners-up (Peaster and Poolville).
> Two of the district title holders advanced all the way to the state tournament. Brock won the Class 2A state volleyball title, while Aledo fell in the Class 4A state final match. Springtown climbed the Class 3A bracket to the regional tournament, falling to eventual state champion, Abilene Wylie.
> Five area athletes were named to the 2012 All-State team, while two of those were selected to play in the All-Star games.
> Eight student-athletes from Parker County earned listings on the State All-Academic rolls. Brock went 4-for-4, with all of its seniors (Abbey Drillette, Braylee Flaska, Amy Henard and Kyndall Magyar) making the list.
> In All-District voting, four athletes were selected MVP in their respective districts.
> There were 17 volleyball athletes from Parker County named to the All-District Superlatives, and three coaches — Kathy Goings (Aledo), Leighann Strickland (Springtown) and Keith Guyon (Brock) — were named Coach of the Year. Goings was also selected Coach of the Year for Class 4A/5A.
The sheer domination of many of the area squads at the team level makes it tough to analyze individual performances at a statistical level. When a team – in this case two — navigates through its district schedule without losing a single set, one is forced to look at per-game performance instead, of just total numbers.
And, of course, numbers alone do not always tell the tale. The intangibles of leadership, and other qualities one cannot enumerate on paper, are often just as important as the proclivity for volleyball skills.
The superlative selections, regardless of the monicker, cannot do justice to the overall body of work for most of the athletes in the 2012 APC, and are designed to recognize overall excellence in the sport. The same can also be said for the entire roster. With the level of play for area teams and individuals for the season just past, the wealth of talent, for seniors as well as the underclassmen returning the courts next year, is formidable.

From Business Today:
After a rash of devastating Fourth of July fires, a Western New Yorker's invention seems especially sound. Al Shaw, president of Butterfly Safety Products, invented the Butterfly Smoke Seal. Made of high-temperature cloth, it is made to slip beneath a door to keep smoke and poisonous gases out. The barrier is meant to buy time in the case someone is trapped in a blaze without a means of escape. The invention recently won an award at an invention convention and Shaw is readying it for the marketplace.
The Federal Trade Commission granted Tops Friendly Markets permission to sell three of the 79 stores it acquired from the bankrupt Penn Traffic Company last year. The FTC ordered Tops to sell seven of the 79 stores after it decided the company's purchase allowed it to dominate too much market area in some places. The stores are in Ithaca, Cortland and Sayre, Pa. The FTC also named The Food Partners LLC, a Washington, D.C.-based investment banking firm to oversee the sale of another four stores, which includes one at 7134 Rochester Road in Lockport.
The state Insurance Department recently penalized five insurance agents in Western New York. Steven J. Argo of Lockport failed to account for money paid into premiums, Michael R. Bryskinski of Kenmore enrolled three customers in automatic debit payment accounts without their consent, Patrick Cain in Buffalo applied for life and accident insurance on behalf of insured clients without their consent, and Kevin M. Lorigo in Orchard Park issued premium checks that bounced and commingled premium and operating funds. All four lost their state insurance licenses. Phillip DiMartino of Batavia was fined $2,000 for drawing up false loss history letters for two businesses.
Who is getting hired, promoted and honored?

There are long lines already at the Cross County Shopping Center for today's visit by the Kardashian sisters.
For fans of the hit T.V. show Keeping Up With The Kardashians on the E! network, all three sisters—Khloe, Kim and Kourtney—will be on hand at the Sears store at the .
This month marks the one year anniversary of the launch of their clothing line with Sears and the sisters chose the Cross County Sears location due to its high sales volume and as a way to promote the 2012 clothing line, according to store officials.
The event begins at 4 p.m. and the first 200 people in line who have made a purchase from the Sear's Kardashian Kollection—which includes clothing, intimate apparel, accessories, shoes, home fashions and prescription eyewear—between Sept. 9-14 will have the chance to meet the sisters and get an autographed photo.
Customers must bring their purchase and original receipt to the store on Friday to be eligible and they are only allowing one person per reciept.
Prescription eyewear purchases must have the original receipt and I-NET from the order. Photocopies will not be accepted.
Wrist bands were distributed beginning at 6 a.m. where as many as 150 people were already in line, some arriving at the Sears store six hours prior.
"I'm tired but excited," said 19-year-old Vannessa Ianardo of Mount Vernon, continuing, "I love the Kardashians, they make me want to go into business and develop my own products too."
Michael Dugan watched his girlfriend Jenna get on line at 2 a.m. He stopped by at 7 a.m. to bring her some breakfast.
"A boyfriend has to do what a boyfriend has to do," chuckled the Yonkers resident who lives nearby on Bronx River Road, adding that, "I know I earned a bunch of points for this, so as long as she's happy, I'm happy."

FEDERALSBURG, Md.- Authorities are searching for the cause of a three-alarm fire that ripped through a Federalsburg home on Tuesday night.
The Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office said the blaze was reported by a passerby shortly after 8 p.m. at a two-story single family home located at 307 Buena Vista Ave.
Fifty-seven firefighters from the Federalsburg, Preston, Hurlock, Eldorado Brookview, East New Market and the Seaford, Del., volunteer fire companies responded to the fire. It took about an hour to get it under control.
One firefighter was transported to a local hospital for a minor injury suffered at the scene. There were no other reported injuries.
The estimated dollar loss to the structure and its contents is still being determined.
The home's occupants are being assisted by the American Red Cross.

In its own sloppy, raunchy, sophomoric, occasionally self-pleased and consistently energetic way, This Is the End is just about perfect at executing its mission, which is to poke fun at its stars, exhaust every R-rated possibility to get a laugh, and even sneak in a few insights into Hollywood, the celebrity culture and the nature of faith.
A one-joke movie, but it's a joke whose recurring rimshots grow as loud as our laughter.
That film is far more interesting in concept, and infinitely more elegant in execution, than what Rogen and his buddies have cooked up in This Is the End — but I've gotta admit, it's not nearly as funny.
By the time September arrives, This is the End will probably be in the running for "funniest comedy of the 2013 summer."
Maybe it has something to do with Jewish writers riffing on the apocalypse, but This Is the End doesn't really know how to end.
Is the movie fun? Yes, for half the time. An hour would have sufficed. [24 June 2013, p.84]
There are a few laughs at the start of This Is the End, and a couple more at the end of This is the End. As for the endless middle, it's middling.

Jun 12, 2013I never write reviews, but this movie is an instant classic. The creativity and the improvisation are, as always, big parts of what make the movie work. But also just the sheer joy of watching Hollywood's lovable actors cooped up in one house with one each other during an invasion make this movie sure a memorable time at the theaters. "This Is the End" is a perfect watch throughout the strand of disappointing comedies as of late. Maybe its because of the lack of creativity in Hollywood or because it really is sheer genius, "This Is the End" is the funniest movie I can remember watching in the theaters. Must see.… Expand
Jul 2, 2013This movie was shockingly good. I am decidedly not their target audience (29 year old married female professional) but I was choking with laughter. I saw World War Z immediately after and this movie crushed it. Loved Jay Baruchel, Craig T Robinson and Danny McBride. They were amazing.… Expand
Jul 2, 2013Very simply an instant classic!! One of the funniest films I've seen in a long time. It's ridiculously hilarious!! Based on Seth and Jay vs. The Apocolypse, This Is The End finally hits the big screen. The plot centres around Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, James Franco, Craig Robinson & Danny McBride, where fictional versions of themselves must deal with the aftermath of an apocalypse! In many ways the film shouldn't work. But believe me it does! It's just genius comedy I mean c'mon there are worse ways to spend an apolocypse than homing up at James Franco's house with a bunch of stoned celebrities! It's such an audacious comedy. Yet it succeeds because of it's creativity. Some of the cameo roles are genius! Rihanna? Emma Watson?! But, the best is Michael Cera. Unmissable!! It's the wildest comedy of the year but something that you truly have to witness for yourself. There really isn't a lot of words that you can use to tell you about this it's one of they films you just have to see for yourself. The dialogue alone is outrageously funny! I haven't laughed naturally so much at a film in a long time. This is the must see comedy film of the year. Make no mistakes, it's daring, rude, crude, smart, inspiring and utterly hilarious.… Expand
Jun 21, 2013"This Is The End" is a classic example of how comedies are supposed to be made. Straight up weirdness, craziness, and randomness. Yeah, it goes a bit over the top at times but it's still the best comedy to date in 2013. Also, if you haven't heard, Craig Robinson is the bomb.… Expand
Oct 2, 2013This is the end is the most unique comedy since the original Hangover. The concept of real life actors experiencing the apocalypse in a comedic sense is absolutely hilarious. Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, James Franco, Craig Robinson, and Jonah Hill shine as the core of the group of celebrity friends and I loved the cameos by all of the other celebrities but especially by Emma Watson, Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Rihanna (though I wish Emma had a bigger role... there's no such thing as too much Emma!). The laughter was almost from beginning to end. Honestly, the end is kind of why this film didn't get a higher rating from me. While there were still some parts that made me chuckle, it generally wasn't as funny as the first two-thirds or so of the movie and felt a bit rushed. All-in-all though, this is a must watch comedy, if you don't mind ridiculous and crude guy humor.… Expand
Jul 8, 2013Yes it's a comedy all right. You know what to expect when Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and similar are starring... It does have a few funny lines, not too many but still... Silly-funny, not smart-funny but (excuse the repetition) it was expected. So, for the most part it was amusing to watch. Yet when I was leaving the theater I felt sad. These talented actors are already all in their 30's yet the way they talk and behave is as if they are teenage half-wits who can only think about drugs and fornication. This movie could be easily done with marionettes instead of actors, "Team America"-style. In fact, it would be even funnier. What I mean is there is nothing to play in that script and it seems to be a waste of actors' skills. Is it a quest for easy money or inability to get out of an established stereotype screen character?… Expand
Dec 28, 2013What a terrible movie. okay so the big mistake was using the real actors names. this was misleading because the actors are NOT playing themselves. they pretend that they are, but are really just acting like brain-dead stoners. really weird, unrealistic acting, not funny at all. really disappointing, i was exited for this one too.… Expand

EDITOR'S NOTE: Life Behind the Pine Curtain is a series of anecdotes collected and edited by Herald-Press Publisher Gary Connor.
If you own a gun, you will appreciate this. If not, you should get one and learn how to use it:
1-Guns have only two enemies – rust and politicians.
2-Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arm's length.
3-The average response time of a 911 call is 13 minutes. The response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second.
4-In a life and death situation, do something . . . It may be wrong, but do something!
5-You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.
A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him "Why do you carry a 45?" The Ranger responded, "Because they don't make the Colt 1911 in a 46 caliber."
An old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on his wearing his sidearm. "Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you expecting trouble?" He promptly replied, "No Ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my shotgun."
A man was asked by a lady visiting his home if he had a gun in the house? He said he did. She said, "Well I certainly hope it isn't loaded!" To which he said, "Of course it is loaded; it can't work without bullets!" She then asked, "Are you that afraid of someone evil coming into your house?" His reply was, "No, not at all. I am not afraid of the house catching fire either, but I have fire extinguishers around, and they are all loaded, too."
"The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms." Samuel Adams

With a projection that as many as 26,000 members of the U.S. military were sexually assaulted last year, its clear that the brass has been doing a very poor job of deterring the crime. Only 3,374 assaults were actually reported a 6 percent increase over 2011 so the perception must be that telling someone in the chain of command isnt worthwhile. Indeed, a survey of victims found that a fear of retaliation is the main reason the assaulted keep silent.
Unfortunately, the Senate Armed Services Committed last week voted down a proposal to remove commanders from the process of deciding whether sexual misconduct cases go to trial. Under a bill by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., seasoned trial lawyers with prosecutorial experience and who hold at least the rank of colonel would have made the determination.
Instead, the committee voted 17-9 for a bill crafted by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., that would, among other things, make it a crime to retaliate against victims who report sexual assaults and calls on the Pentagon to relieve commanders who dont create a climate receptive for victims.
These are good steps but not the dramatic change needed to shake the military culture out of its good ol boy status quo especially not when so many victims say their assailants were someone senior to them. Not when the enemy is within.

The Spicy Serb: Exhuberant World No. 9 Tennis Star Janko Tipsarevic 'Uncovered' by ATP World Tour
Love him or loathe him…but one thing is certain. Janko Tipsarevic draws a whole lot of attention. Oakley's International Tennis Star – complete with his signature tattoos, exuberant personality, off-the-court activities (Electronic Dance Music DJ by night) and trademark style (read: killer performance eyewear) – made major waves in the 2011 season, skyrocketing to a World No. 9 ranking. Just the way we like it.

Convert ARMA model to AR model
InfiniteAR = garchar(AR,MA,NumLags)
InfiniteAR = garchar(AR,MA,NumLags) computes the coefficients of an infinite-order AR model, using the coefficients of the equivalent univariate, stationary, invertible, finite-order ARMA(R,M) model as input. garchar truncates the infinite-order AR coefficients to accommodate a user-specified number of lagged AR coefficients.
R-element vector of autoregressive coefficients associated with the lagged observations of a univariate return series modeled as a finite-order, stationary, invertible ARMA(R,M) model.
M-element vector of moving-average coefficients associated with the lagged innovations of a finite-order, stationary, invertible univariate ARMA(R,M) model.
(optional) Number of lagged AR coefficients that garchar includes in the approximation of the infinite-order AR representation. NumLags is an integer scalar and determines the length of the infinite-order AR output vector. If NumLags = [] or is unspecified, the default is 10.
Vector of coefficients of the infinite-order AR representation associated with the finite-order ARMA model specified by the AR and MA input vectors. InfiniteAR is a vector of length NumLags. The jth element of InfiniteAR is the coefficient of the jth lag of the input series in an infinite-order AR representation. Box, Jenkins, and Reinsel refer to the infinite-order AR coefficients as "π weights."
In the following ARMA(R,M) model, {yt} is the return series of interest and {εt} the innovations noise process.
If you write this model equation as
you can specify the garchar input coefficient vectors, AR and MA, as you read them from the model. In general, the jth elements of AR and MA are the coefficients of the jth lag of the return series and innovations processes yt-j and εt-j, respectively. garchar assumes that the current-time-index coefficients of yt and εt are 1 and are not part of AR and MA.
In theory, you can use the π weights returned in InfiniteAR to approximateyt as a pure AR process.
In this equation, the jth element of the truncated infinite-order autoregressive output vector,πj or InfiniteAR(j), is consistently the coefficient of the jth lag of the observed return series, yt-j. See Box, Jenkins, and Reinsel [15], Section 4.2.3, pages 106-109.
For the following ARMA(2,2) model, use garchar to obtain the first 20 weights of the infinite-order AR approximation.
From this model,
AR = [0.5 -0.8]; MA = [-0.6 0.08]; lagLength = 20;
Since the current-time-index coefficients of yt and εt are 1, the example omits them from AR and MA. This saves time and effort when you specify parameters using dot notation on a garch model.
PI = garchar(AR,MA,lagLength)'

What happened March 21 was the ultimate of big-government arrogance. Congress passed a health bill that a large majority of Americans didn't want.
Democrats were bought, threatened and bribed to sell their principles to the devil. They felt they had a choice between being scared of Pelosi, Reid and Obama, or facing the wrath of their constituents. Boy, did they make the wrong choice.
Watch the attempts the Dems make, spinning how they voted. This law is just one of many nightmarish examples of what happens and will happen again when radical liberals seize control of power.
Speaking of spinning, I was watching a newscast where a Democrat congressman was trying to explain away a recent poll where Pelosi's favorable rating was 11 percent and Harry Reid's was 8 percent. The politician actually said the reason that these numbers were so low was because they took so long to get the bill passed!
There was a letter to the editor a while back that displayed either ignorance or the lowest level of behavior by attempting to distort and demean the Tea Party movement. After a letter like this it is even more important than ever for independent-thinking individuals to attend a Tea Party event and see for yourself what this movement is really all about.
The left will stoop to any level in attempting to distort the facts. I attended three events last year and hope to attend more this year.
There were no loaded guns, no words of racism, nor any of the other things the writer claimed to have experienced. The good, honest people I was with would not have tolerated such things and would have asked such individuals to leave.
I think the writer was confusing herself, instead remembering the vulgar activity that took place when her kind protested President Bush's policies.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—May 28, 2013

CONTACT: Laurie Ristino, Associate Professor and Director of the Center for Agriculture and Food Systems, Vermont Law School
Phone: (802) 831-1230, Email: firstname.lastname@example.com

SOUTH ROYALTON, Vt.—The Center for Agriculture and Food Systems (CAFS) at Vermont Law School announced the selection of CAFS's first JD Fellow, Josh Donabedian. Mr. Donabedian is a recent graduate of Vermont Law School, where he earned both a Masters in Environmental Law and Policy and Juris Doctor (JD) degrees.

Donabedian graduated from Colby College in 2007. While at Vermont Law, Donabedian specialized in local agriculture and sustainable food systems and was a founder of the Food and Agricultural Law Society. Donabedian spent his first summer in law school as a research associate for Vermont Law faculty members where he analyzed the impacts of the Food Safety Modernization Act on small-scale, sustainable farms and the then current 2012 Farm Bill proposal. He spent his second summer interning at the Vermont Farm Viability Enhancement Program at the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board, where he was responsible for research on risk management and legal business structures for Vermont farms and agriculture-based businesses.

Laurie Ristino, CAFS director, noted, "Josh has a deep commitment to building local food systems and will make a wonderful addition to the Center." Donabedian became interested agriculture and sustainable food systems at a young age, spending time on his grandfather's farm in southern New Hampshire and working summers at his family's wholesale produce distribution company.

As the JD Fellow, Mr. Donabedian will work to further the CAFS mission to facilitate a sustainable food system through law and policy. He begins his fellowship in August 2013.

Vermont Law's CAFS JD Fellows Program is an innovative program, available only to recent JD graduates of Vermont Law. Fellows work closely with the Director and learn about running a non-profit organization in a dynamic, entrepreneurial setting while honing their legal skills.

DeNice UnsignedAlright, more P.O.D! I said this when Alive came out last year that I still wish we can get some tracks from "When Angels and Serpents Dance" and "Testify" instead of just from "Satellite", but I'm definitely gonna enjoy Youth of the Nation. Been waiting for it ever since Guitar Hero 6 managed to get it under its belt a while ago. The other two I'm not sure if I'll get, but I'll at least give them a listen again before download day.
TheStuddz Lil RascalOkay, I'll admit it. I'm slightly disappointed. It was implied in the prediction thread (albeit by an unofficial source) that we would be receiving a small pack along with the singles. He or she lied. Shame, as I was hoping for something that could tide me over until the week of 7/26, as I am by no means a fan of Soundgarden. Still, I guess I should be comforted by "Relax" and "A Little Respect". "Relax" is a classic, and will be a welcome addition to my library. And I've been wanting "A Little Respect" in Rock Band since it appeared on Scrubs. No interest in P.O.D. So two out of four isn't that bad. I was just hoping for a little something more.
MostSpartan14 Road Warrior
nineismine Opening Act
Pointblank41 Rising Staronly one pro guitar upgrade this week? slightly disapointed. Was hoping we would at least get some legacy upgrades since it's been quite a while.
Hopefully next week we get a ton of pro upgrades since the Soundgarden Summer announcement said, "a 6 pack from Soundgarden, most with pro upgrades)
Lord_Mhoram Road WarriorReally don't like P.O.D, and the Erasure song is not a big favorite (but I might get it anyway, because I like the genre). Relax is a must buy.
Small week for me - 1 for sure.
And next week is going to be even worse. I don't care for Soundgarden all that much, I like 3 or so of their songs, and none of those are in the pack.
BrutalBrian Road Warrior
TheHundredDollarHeadache Pedantic Broken Record
aggiesrul8 Road Warrior
Ingame UnsignedFor me, this is the worst week since Stone Sour. Nothing... more? And everytime a Weird Al related song is announced, I'm reminded how great it would be to have some of his stuff in the game. Oh well, Soundgarden next week.
And where's the country songs? I want my Ring of Fire!
Skode HeadlinerAahhh, as expected HMX have been keeping up the recent and very welcome approach to bringing us songs featured on GH and in this case its P.O.D. Im surprised at both them and Erasure but none the less know all the songs available this week and whilst i dont really care for the non-POD songs i will naturally grab them as well for the potential party hit appeal they could bring.
OlDirtyDawson UnsignedI ran to the forum after I got the announcement on Twitter.
Erasure's "A Little Respect" is a 5-star track for me. I'm very excited. Massive Depeche Mode fan, and of course, I like Vince Clarke's work as well. Best song off of their best album (LOVE The Innocents, was 8 when it was released and am still a massive fan). At the risk of being greedy, I would have also taken "Ship Of Fools", "Hallowed Ground", or "Chains of Love". So excited to play the Pro Keys and get 100% expert!
"Relax" will also be a very fun track to play, a 4-star song for me that I will also take the time to try to master. Very cool. It'd be the most exciting track most DLC weeks for me, but it got overshadowed. Not a bad thing : )
P.O.D. I like, but if there's no Pro Keys, I will not buy the tracks.
Decent week, still need more than 4 songs a week, but I'm never getting off that point.
DemonUnicorns Normally Dumb
Heavens_Saint Rising Star
murph Rising Stardefinitely Relax. Thinking about Respect and Boom.
BTW - have you seen the Boom video with POD playing ping pong? saw it for the first time just now. really funny.

The BlueRibbon Coalition, was founded to defend access by responsible motorized recreationist to public lands. .
The endangered species act has been misused as a means to lock out mountain bikers and other trail users from huge areas. The abusers use the very existence of a threatened or endangered species to close public access for petty and indefensible reasoning--simply because the trail may cross a stream or pass through the general area where the protected species MAY exist. "Scientific studies" the preclude the closed areas are typically heavily biased and rarely audited.
Recently many closures are the result of expensive civil lawsuits inflicted upon land managers in the name of a protected animal or plant, by offshoots of major environmental organizations specifically created for this purpose. The trails are closed in out-of-court settlements to stem the financial losses that the land manager must bear to continue to defend US (legitimate trail users who by right, should be able to experience these places), in court.
Revising the endangered Species Act to enforce a more scientific and less emotional protocol to determine which areas should be closed to protect precious plants and animals has been long overdue. Please read the following press release.
The BlueRibbon Colalition, a national recreation group, supports the bipartisan Congressional effort to reform the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The BRC agrees with Chairman Richard Pombo (R-Tracy) and Congressman Dennis Cardoza (D-Merced) that the ESA needs to be fixed.
For many years, trail-based recreation has been negatively impacted by misapplication of the Act via massive critical habitat designations and land-use restrictions related to the Northern Spotted Owl, Mojave Desert Tortoise, Red-legged Frog, Fairy Shrimp, Arroyo Toad, Kit Fox, Coho Salmon, and many other species.
Don Amador, western representative for the BlueRibbon Coalition, said, "I was glad to see both political parties at the news conference supporting an effort to reform the ESA. For too long, our access rights and the rights of private property owners have been sacrificed on the altar of unjustified land closures."
"At this time, green extremists are trying to misuse the Act to restrict historic motorized access to Clam Beach in Northern California because of potential threats to the Western Snowy plover, a listed species. In many cases, these closures have little to do with recovering a species. I think this bipartisan effort to make sure that habitat set-asides are scientifically, not politically, based is a giant step in the right direction," Amador continues.
"All too often, challenges to historic access have come from 'threatened' subspecies or distinct population segments (DPS) rather than 'endangered species.' One feature of the bill will allow more flexible treatment of the threatened critters and impose more scientific rigor on the listing of DPS," Amador continues.
"BRC works as a partner in the good stewardship of the land and is collaborating with federal agencies and the University of Washington on a recreation-oriented research project related to the Northern Spotted Owl. Land management decisions should be science-based and that is just what the Pombo/Cardoza proposal champions. I am proud our organization is supporting this effort," Amador concludes.

Generally overlooked in all the commotion Thursday night over the Canes winning goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs was the Canes first goal against the Leafs.
Had the game not been decided on the goaltending gaffe by the Leafs Jonathan Bernier, the biggest storyline likely would have been the Canes Ryan Murphy coming back to Toronto, filling the stands with family and friends, then thrilling them with his first NHL goal.
With the Canes trailing 2-0 in the third, the defenseman took a pass from Jeff Skinner at the left point on the power play and winged a shot toward the net. The puck caught the stick of the Leafs Dave Bolland in the slot and got past Bernier. Just like that, Murphy had his first.
It was pretty cool, Murphy said. I would have liked to do it on the rush a couple of moments earlier but nonetheless its a moment Ill remember forever. It was a great pass by Skinner. Ill take it.
Murphy, Skinner and rookie Elias Lindholm often hang out together. Theyre all former first-round draft pick who can relate to whats expected of them, and Skinner and Murphy were former Kitchener Rangers teammates.
Its perhaps fitting that Skinner, the 2011 Calder Trophy winner, now has the primary assist on both Lindholms and Murphys first NHL goals this season. Lindholm scored his against the Washington Capitals last week as Murphy had the second helper on the goal.
But Lindholm was thousands of miles away from his Swedish home. Murphy is an Aurora, Ont., native who attended many Leafs games with his father and brother. On Thursday, he had a big group on hand to see him play his first NHL game at Air Canada Centre.
I think a quarter of the stadium was friends and family, Murphy joked. There are a lot of people who came out and are happy I got that first one out of the way in Toronto.
And happy the Canes won. Eric Staal followed up Murphys goal by tying the score and the Canes won it on the bizarre Bernier blunder, the puck bouncing off the boards and off his skate and into the net.
Were a resilient group with good leadership and everybody was staying positive on the bench, Murphy said. It was a crazy ending but well take it.
