Skip to comments.McDonald's Faces Teen Labor Shortage ("fewer teenagers working period")
Posted on 07/23/2007 5:02:41 PM PDT by fight_truth_decay
A new McDonald's Corp. commercial tells the story of Karen King, who began her career as a teenage crew member in the 1970s and rose to head the company's $10-billion Eastern-U.S. division.
The spots are meant to resonate with American teenagers, who are leaving the workforce in droves and leaving McDonald's with a labor crunch that threatens to take a bite out of its surging sales.
"It's a shrinking labor market, and we recognize less people will be available to hire," Ms. King says.
The declining number of teenage job-seekers presents a super-size challenge for McDonald's, where 40% of the top 50 managers including CEO James Skinner worked their way up from the cash register or fry vat, and which more than ever needs qualified workers to keep service from bogging down in an era of computerized cash registers and electronic ovens.
"There is a direct correlation between the quality of the crew and sales restaurants do," says Steve Bigari, a former McDonald's franchisee who now works with fast-food companies on labor issues.
With the number of teenage applicants dwindling, McDonald's has rolled out a new commercial emphasizing the opportunity for advancement at the company. For more photos visit McJobsChicagoBusines.
For years, McDonald's has manned its crews largely with teenagers. In the 1990s, 45% of its U.S. employees were under 20. Today it's 33% of the workforce, which totals 650,000 employees.
It's not just that fewer teenagers are working at McDonald's fewer are working, period. Last year about 44% of American teens held jobs, down from nearly 60% in 1982. The reason isn't clear, but many attribute the shift to an intensified focus on academics and after-school activities.
Whatever the explanation, the trend scares fast-food operators. "Everyone I talk to in the industry says it's becoming harder and harder to maintain their operations standards given what is happening in the workforce," Mr. Bigari says.
About half the employees in the fast-food industry are between 16 and 25 years old. The number of jobs in the industry is expected to increase about 17% in the next decade while the number of workers in that key age group is expected to increase 0.3%.
McDonald's is trying to get ahead of the coming squeeze with its aggressive new recruiting campaign, launched in May and driven by the TV ads featuring Ms. King. The company also revamped the recruiting portion of its Web site to facilitate online job applications, which are routed to franchisees, who hire the bulk of McDonald's front-line workers.
Lurking behind the recruiting drive is another reality: McDonald's could ease its labor crunch by raising wages. But that's a last resort for the franchisees. Increased payroll costs come directly out of their pockets.
Steve Russell, McDonald's U.S. senior vice-president of human resources and chief people officer, says the company doesn't feel pressure to raise wages, which vary by restaurant but average about $7.35 an hour, 26% over the current federal minimum wage of $5.85.
At the same time it expands recruiting efforts, McDonald's is trying to be more selective about its hires. About half of its stores require applicants to take a short test designed to measure their experience and behavior patterns. Mr. Russell says the number of stores utilizing the test quadrupled last year and the company continues to "rapidly deploy it."
The increased scrutiny matches the rising sophistication of fast-food jobs. Burgers are no longer flipped on a griddle but cooked in an oven operated by an electronic timer. New menu items have forced kitchen staff to master new preparation techniques and have given order-takers more buttons to locate on cash registers with touch screens easy to use but often intimidating to workers uncomfortable with technology.
Fumbles with the equipment slow down order times a big turnoff for customers looking for a quick meal. That's why it's critical to find, and keep, qualified workers. An internal McDonald's study shows stores with higher-performing crews reduce turnover by 30% and increase sales by $200,000 annually.
"Now more than ever, we realize our people are the main drivers of our business," Mr. Russell says.
This week in Las Vegas, McDonald's is holding a meeting of 15,000 managers at which employment will be a primary topic of discussion.
Industry observers say McDonald's has done more than any of its national competitors to promote employment, even while it may pay lower wages than some regional and national chains, such as coffee giant Starbucks Corp.
The effort may be paying off. Last year, according to Mr. Russell, McDonald's reduced its turnover by 9%, matching the chain's increase in sales, which hit $21.6 billion. The company won't disclose its retention rate; the industry averages about 150% annual employee turnover.
But it remains to be seen how McDonald's will replace the teenagers who continue to drop out of the workforce.
"There is not a readily available supply of teenage workers lined up at the door begging for jobs," says Joni Doolin, founder of People Report, a Texas-based company that tracks employment data. "And the problem is not going away anytime soon."
More McDonald's franchises will have to adjust, by enticing teenagers to work for higher wages, perhaps resort to illegal immigrants, or some other measures.
It is still going to be the Market that determines the survival of their Business. I do not have a problem with the demise of McDonald's.
They sell milkshakes with no milk in them. Well, that was so a while back. I do not know if it is still true.
The very first time I ate at a McDonald's, a hamburger cost less than a dime and it was a better product.
I have to agree with you.
Currently working in an area where excess income is the norm, I see lots of teenagers running around having a good time, with no job.
Mom/Dad hands them the money. For what? Grades.
How about them learning the other kind of grade...the one that comes from the 'school of hard knocks.'
They need both in order to make it.
Back when Huizenga still owned the company, we had to stay until EVERY FRIGGIN' TITLE, was lined up straight on the shelf. With the mess the store would be in, we would sometimes get out at 3AM on Saturday.
Loved the free rentals, however.
THat's what I did...to start with. Soon I was promoted to the bakery department. I made pies, cakes, muffins, rolls, etc. It was way better than a fast food joint. Before the buffet/cafeteria, I worked at burger king for 2 months. I couldn't get along with the supervisors at a place like that. We hated eachother.
They worked me long hours at the buffet though. While in highschool I was working 35 hours per week, or whatever the max allowable was back then without being considered full time. That was alot for a 16 year old going to school every day from 8 to 3:30.
People must have very low expectations for McDonald's crew quality, because my experience has been that if this were really true, the majority of McDonald's I have been in since I came back to the States in 2004 should be bankrupt.
Great idea, except most kids today can't spell "deferred", and if they could, they would accuse us adults of trying to spoil their fun by making them put something away for the future.
McDonalds was my first ever "real" job, at age 16.
I'm still trying to get the grease out of my hair.
At Charley's restaurant in the Minneapolis Airport, I had the opportunity to see a true professional fast food worker. An older man in front of me was struggling with his tray due to Parkinson's. I helped him a little, but then the manager said "Sir, your luggage looks pretty heavy. This young lady (referring to an employee) will carry your tray to your table for you. It was great. She offered help and blamed the luggage, not his infirmity.
Charley's Corporate offices got a letter from me commending her.
That's a disgusting story, but it reminds me of how much I miss the taco joints in San Diego. I grew up in East County.
Oh Man, why did you have to mention that! I went to Point Loma and I lived at those Taco Stands
I'm a teacher. No way I would eat any place I saw one of my students.
If the problem is an increased focus on school programs and academics, then McDonalds need to do something to make a job there look good on a college application. High school sports and after school clubs look much better to admissions than a job at McDonalds right now. The college bound kids are exactly what McDonalds would love to have for employees as well.
Of course, my first real job was a research assistant at the Naval Postgraduate School (at 16 years old). So I know I'm an exception.
I worked a Dairy Queen. We would swap hamburgers for chicken from KFC. When you work at one of those places all the food begins to taste alike.
Windoze media player is driving me nuts. I'm trying to burn a CD with several albums on it that I want to listen to in order. I put them in order in the burn window, and windoze automatically re orders them.
10, 11, 12, 13 etc, OBVIOUSLY belong before 1, and duh! I OBVIOUSLY wanted albums 20-29 to play before album 2, and CLEARLY I am an idiot for not putting them in that sequence.
But that's OK, windoze will AUTOMATICALLY burn them in the order I'm too stoooooopid to place them in myself.
MMMM, In-n-Out Burger, I always go there when I go out west. It's been almost two years now but I've had an InOB more recently than McD's(I don't go there anymore). The place was swarming with friendly kids cooking burgers and fries, taking orders, cleaning up the place, etc., an incredible business. When I went to the McD's in my area there were certain, ahem, demographically different people than me, that were not particularlly friendly, polite or courteous in spite of me always being so to them, it was obvious that they didn't appreciate my business so I don't give it to them any longer. They also started TV advertising to the gangsta rap and hip hop bangers. Forget that place.
Read a complaint in the paper the other day about how one has to be bilingual to apply at some fast food restaurants.
Professor Snape? Is that you?
It's a "problem" for McDonald's.
It's Capitalism for everyone else. Quit complaining, Ronald!
They're just angry they can't hire illegals anymore.
I heard a while back that the average McD's franchise owner made about $100,000 to $150,000 per year. Not alot when you consider the time and money invested.
If a McD's is open 24 hours a day, with lets say 4 people on at all times that would be 35,000 man hours.
How much of a raise do you think they should pay?
If you dropped $1 million for the franchise, and property, and building, what type of return on your investment would expect?
How many hours a week would you work to protect your investment?
What type of return would you expect on your time?
>>The real solution is robotics technology
There is no doubt to me that the illegal immigrant invasion has substantially suppressed the introduction of automation technologies in all areas of our economy.
I teach at an inner cities school in Dallas. Any questions?
May I suggest the obvious: increase wages.
At least their parents never have to worry about those kids drowning in an open swimming pool. They'd be like buoys — all those kids would have to do would be to flip on their backs and they'd safely float until help arrived!
Just one.
I knew a family that owned and operated about a dozen McDonald's. They were definitely multi-millionaires, but I doubt over 8-figures.
Then I knew a girl who managed a Papa Gino's (just one). She wasn't doing so great, kind of poor.
Chronic Stupidity!!
my 15 yr old is just waiting to turn 16 so he can go out and get a job.
my 15 yr old is just waiting to turn 16 so he can go out and get a job.
My first job was a secretarial job that paid $2.35 an hour.
Damm. Ignorance would be better. At least that can be cured by edumacation.
Weren't the temp! Thinkin bout "Supersized Big Macs" got er cranked up.
But what some would say is that because these people have so much, they obviously are shorting their employees. But the same issues apply here, that I posted, accept 8 times more.
A simple $1 an hour raise won't raise an employees lifestyle much. But $1 per man hour could make the difference between being in business and out.
I know! How I prayed for the diagnosis of ignorance but when all the tests were in it was the dreaded stupididus dumassimus,In it's latter stages, I'm afraid it's incurable.
They do have tattooed, pierced, ill educated and rude teens working there; lots of them. The word was that you could only be hired there is you knew someone who had worked there or was working there.
So she took a job as a waitress at a small tearoom and worked for her father as a researcher and transcribing.
I worked at an A&W as a cook. I remember sitting in math class the next day, elbows on the desk, head resting on chin, and smelling the grease on my hands.
That actually wasn't that bad of a job, all things considered. Living in Iowa, I worked detassling corn (for you city slickers, it was trying to get corn pollenated, for next year's seed crop). Basically you hit the field at 6AM, in 5 foot high corn, got soaked with dew, plucked the tassles out of the top of the corn, and then by midday, you were burning up to the heat and humidity in a windless cornfield, while you got all chafed from your wet clothes. Plus you got cut by the corn leaves, and had to walk miles. But....
It was a great incentive to study hard in school, to know I didn't want to be at age 30 and beyond with some extreme manual labor kind of job. Some people might like that, and that's ok, but I would rather use my noggin, than my back (and that is what I am doing now).
Much of that work has been taken by our friends from south of the border, though there still are some amount of Iowa teens doing that work. Mexico must really suck, if they would come 1000s of miles to do that crappy job.
Oh PUH-LEEZE! If I would have let the bruthas intimidate me when I worked a graveyard shift job at a hotel in Chicago while in Grad School"
Did the "bruthas" gang jump you and beat the hell out of you?
Did they come after you with knives?
Some of these illegals will kill you over a menial job.
And what effect does 30 years of abortion on demand have on the entry level labor pool...
May I suggest that you use your contacts and search out a better job for this obviously dependable worker. Perhaps one with medical benefits and a higher pay rate.
Just drop off a job application in an envelope preaddressed to the 'new' company.
Looks like a strap to me.
It had a weak moment. I'm sorry.
Here in San Diego you can not find anyone who works in any fast food place that speaks any English other than the usually middle-age manager.
When I went thru Oregon and into Washinton last year I couldn't believe that there were ordinary white high school kids working at fast food places there. I was in the twilight zone. And high school kids pumping gas in Oregon!
I think this article is being put out to justify their hiring illegals for slave wages.
It may be, but it's the thought that counts.
It may be, but it's the thought that counts.
Mike Nifong is available.
LOL that was a good one!!
The Cato Institute has a report out that goes into great depth about the correlation between depressed wages due to influxes of illegal aliens, and the effects on the poor and working class children in this country.
Do you think the rise in the minimum wage may bring more teenagers and other underemployed groups into the working realm?
A wise observation - a sign of a successful leader.
This chain will simply need to pay its help more, even if it means raising prices. Teenagers expect more because of a robust economy and mom and dad bringing in more. McD's has plenty of resources to research an adjusted cost control model to accomodate this. It's all a part of free market economics, the Invisible Hand.

Dr. Jackson couldn't be more competent or nicer. I've recommended her to friends and family and they all feel the same. I'm amazed her office isn't constantly packed with patients.
Thorough and attentive doctor. Recommend without reservation.
Dr. Jackson is extremely professional, great doctor!
I would definitely recommend Dr. Jackson. She is an excellent Doctor and the first Doctor that doesn't have you waiting. If you have a 3pm appointment you can guarantee you'll be in with the doctor by 3:15 at the latest.
Overall great! There is no wait. YOu are seen at the time your appointment is scheduled for. She gets back to you in a timely manner.
Dr. Jackson is a very good doctor. I have numerous medical problems but with her care & nurturing progress is being made. I have a long way to go but I know I'm in the best hands with Dr. Jackson. She is kind, caring and understanding. She always tries to find the best treatments to provide relief from discomfort & pain. Dr. Jackson is a Blessing to all her patients.
Extremely thorough at taking my history and performing my annual exam. Would highly recommend Dr Jackson.
I have seen Dr. Jackson over the years when she was affiliated with Cabrini Medical Clinic and since she's been on her own, and I have found her to be one of the most caring and compassionate doctors I have met.Smart, straightforward, and very helpful.

I chose to listen to teased planet money program and the audio isn't loaded well so it keeps getting choppy and pausing for a second. Maybe buffer more audio in background before starting?
Somewhat related - when listening to NPR podcasts, I sometimes experience hearing the audio at an accelerated rate - not sure why that's happening.

As a gigging DJ & musician for 25+ years, I've used a lot of gear, and a lot of cables. This one's as good as much costlier pro speaker cables at less than half the cost. The connectors might not be quite the equal of Neutrik or Switchcraft, but they're still quite decent. Even without the connectors, just the cable itself is still quite a bargain. Highly recommended.
Very good value and an excellent product. I paid less than half of what I would have if I had gone to a music store and they work just as good.
the products I had to return, not because of the Product but the delivery. It took 4 days for them to get to the Redmond, OR store from Pendleton, OR so when I got the second delay I just bought them at the music store locally as I needed to hook up my sound system. Therefore I returned them. This was the second time I have ordered Walmart and it seemed it took 5 times longer thatn ordering from Amazon or zzounds, Guitar City.
I use these wires for my amp/speaker set-up and they work perfectly. You wouldnt think to buy reliable wires from Walmart, so my expectations have been blown out of the water. Pick these up!

Found out we were pregnant with baby #2 on 12/29/12. (37 hcg level) almost one week later I had my first miscarriage on 1/4/13 and was told it was probably just a chemical pregnancy (97 hcg level and dropped to 9hcg a week later). Felt very blessed to find out we were pregnant again on 2/13/13. exactly 1 week later i started bleeding again and went to the ER and was told my hcg were only a 9 and that it was a threatened miscarriage bc my cervix was still closed. but the next day my obgyn told me that bc of the low numbers there was no chance they would go back up and to count this as another miscarriage. I felt very discouraged bc I had had no problems conceiving my first child or carrying her. A friend told me about a problems she had called insulin resistance. Once she got on some medication to stablilize things she got pregnant pretty quickly. Has anyone else ever had this issue??

Yardy is a reliable all-rounder for Sussex and formerly England, with whom he won the World Twenty20 in 2010. A left-handed batsman, who adopts a crab-like stance, and slow bowler, Yardy shot to prominence in 2005 with an outstanding campaign for Sussex. Up until that point, the all-rounder had only shown flashes of promise with the bat, epitomised by him hitting just one century in his first 38 four-day games. That he scored five in the 2005 season alone illustrated his improvement; Yardy struck a total of 1,520 first-class runs that season. More impressive performances i...

A master at seducing--and offending--women, Tank gets hired by freshly dumped guys to take their ex-girlfriends out on the worst date of their lives - an experience so horrible it sends them running gratefully back to their beaus.

Booked the day before by phone when on a road trip. On arrival upgraded to a 2 queen room with a separate living room/dining/kitchen. There is a fully equipped kitchen with stove, freezer, fridge etc. The rooms are enormous, I have rented smaller apartments in Europe. The room is very clean and modern. Room cleaning does not occur daily as the hotel caters for longer stays, not a problem for a one night stopover. It is a bit out of town but has a very adequate bar/restaurant nearby. We had a courtyard facing room, so no noise from the traffic on the freeway. The size of the rooms and the facilities made this a real treat as a stopover on a longish driving holiday. Highly recommended. This hotel has some of the friendliest reception staff you could hope to meet
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

Supplementation of vitamin B to break down the levels of homocysteine, a naturally occurring amino acid linked to a higher risk of coronary heart disease and stroke, does not have beneficial effects on vascular outcomes, finds a new study.
Washington -- Pfizer Inc. announced Monday it is withdrawing its cancer drug Mylotarg for use by U.S. patients with acute myeloid leukemia -- a bone marrow cancer.
The pharmaceutical company said it took the action at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration after a clinical trial raised new concerns about the product's safety and the drug's failure to demonstrate clinical benefit to patients enrolled in trials.
Duarte, Calif. -- U.S. medical researchers say they have demonstrated the first successful gene therapy in patients with AIDS-related lymphoma.
City of Hope researchers in California said their study showed the long-term persistence of anti-HIV genes in patients with the AIDS-related cancer.
In the investigational therapy, patients underwent autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation in which their own blood stem cells were harvested, genetically engineered with three ribonucleic acids that block the human immunodeficiency virus from infecting new cells and then returned to them.
Rochester, Minn. -- U.S. scientists at the Mayo and Cleveland clinics say they've found blood flow interruption during kidney cancer surgery can lead to chronic kidney disease.
The researchers said their retrospective study found interrupting the blood flow for more than 20- to 25 minutes during kidney cancer surgery involving warm ischemia leads to a greater risk for patients developing chronic kidney disease.
Indianapolis -- U.S. cancer investigators say they've found combining two drugs -- decitabine and carboplatin -- appears to help women who have late-stage ovarian cancer.
The Indiana University researchers said four of 10 patients who participated in a phase I clinical trial had no disease progression after six months of treatment with the drugs and one patient experienced complete resolution of tumor tissue for a period of time.
Advanced ovarian cancer is often diagnosed too late for treatment to be effective. Patients are often told they have virtually no chance of recovery and only months to live.
The trial was designed to increase the patients' sensitivity to the commonly prescribed ovarian cancer drug, platinum-based carboplatin.
Chicago -- U.S. researchers say they've discovered a therapy that might be able to preserve erectile function following prostate cancer surgery.
Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine scientists say up to 80 percent of men undergoing the procedure will lose the ability to have an erection because of damage to a critical nerve that runs along the prostate. But the new study suggests the damaged nerve can be regenerated more quickly with a protein called sonic hedgehog, delivered via a nanofiber gel.
Ann Arbor, Mich. -- U.S. researchers say they've identified specific genetic markers linked to prostate cancer that might allow the cancer to be predicted in younger men.
Scientists at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center note prostate cancer has become more common in younger men, and it's often more aggressive in that group. But now the scientists say they've found a series of genetic mutations that could help detect such early onset.
Seattle -- Digger Phelps, the former highly successful Notre Dame basketball coach and television basketball analyst, is recovering from prostate cancer surgery.
Phelps, who was diagnosed with the disease in late April, had the procedure Tuesday at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer and Research Center at the University of Washington Medical Center.
"Thanks to early discovery of the cancer during a routine physical, Dad is doing great and is on the road to recovery," Phelps's daughter Karen Moyer said.
Paris -- A French-led international team of scientists says it has discovered how polyphenols in red wine and green tea inhibit prostate cancer growth.
The scientists -- who say their finding might lead to a major advance in the treatment of prostate cancer -- said they discovered antioxidants in red wine and green tea disrupt an important cell-signaling pathway necessary for prostate cancer growth.
The researchers, led by the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research in Paris, said their findings that appear in the early online edition of The FASEB Journal, might lead to the development of drugs that could stop or slow cancer progression, or improve current treatments.
Chicago -- Long-term use of Avastin, a drug used to treat lung, colorectal and breast cancers, appears to help women with advanced ovarian tumors, a new study shows.
In a study presented Sunday at the American Society of Clinical Oncology, Robert Burger of the Gynecologic Oncology Group said in a study of 1,873 patients, the use of Avastin over the long term kept women's cancers in check for an average of 14 months, about four months longer than in women who only received chemotherapy, USA Today reported.
A short course of the drug did not appear to have any benefit, Burger said.

Incredible Huge Rare Vintage Japanese Ichimatsu Ningyo Boy Doll Showa Period
On Layaway; thank you P.! From my private antique doll collection, Here is an elegant and show stopping Huge Vintage Japanese Ichimatsu Ningyo Boy doll, so rare in this size, from the Showa Period, in approximately 1950. Ichimatsu dolls, like other ningyo, are considered an art form in Japan and represent the essence of Japanese children. He measures approximately thirty two (32") tall. This doll is over 60 years old and was sold by an antique dealer in Japan. He is garbed in an antique silk kimono made for a real boy, and worn long ago by a real boy before the purchase of the doll to model his kimono. His swivel head, arms with attached hands and legs with attached feet are made from Gofun, the traditional Japanese material used in Ichimatsu doll comprised of oyster paste. Japanese Ichimatsu dolls were and are both decorative and play dolls and he looks to have been mainly displayed with very few signs of having been played with. His head is in fine condition with only one short hairline, on the side seam well off the face or any features. It has not grown in the many decades we have had him in our collections. He has such a serene and elegant face, with finely carved and delicately painted mouth. His interior is held together by the traditional paper which contains the stamp and signature of the doll artist. As is traditional, he has a paper covered frame and upper legs. His head and limbs are covered with gofun (a crushed oyster shell mixture) and probably have a wood pulp core. He has the traditional very pale pink complexion, for a play rather than formal doll. His facial features are well sculpted and hand painted, with pierced nostrils. The hand painted detail of each strand of hair is finely done for his eyebrows. lashes and the hair of his head; there are some small and faint areas of wear in his hair. His deep brown/black enamel under glass eyes have pronounced shaping of the eye sockets, and pronounced modeling of the ears shows great sensitivity. He has fabric upper arms, stuffed possibly with sea grass or straw, a torso that has tiny molded "chest-buttons", separately molded hips ( his paper covering precludes looking to see if he is sexed; the covering has a tear in the back that has been glued together) gofun arms and legs with four and one half inches (4 1/2")long well sculpted bare feet and a segmented paper wrapped torso which is original. He has the original chest squeaker that does not seem to work any longer. His antique real boy's kimono has the traditional long loose sleeves that are segmented at the shoulders. The pattern of the kimono is of such boys' toys as drums, spinning tops, presents, fans, scrolls, and good luck and long life symbols such as cranes, pine trees, the ying-yang while the lining of the gown is pure white silk. He has his original wooden platform of unstained wood with a tall wooden piece to hold him steady. He is a doll that will be the focal point for a collection, or perfect as a decorative accent piece. He has long been displayed in his own niche, on a separate carved oriental wooden stand ( not for sale here), as he is definitely a piece of art sculpture, as well as a doll for which you can be justly and highly proud.
Please note that the stand is very heavy, and tall, the doll is very tall, and can not bend and so shipping is for a very oversized box, and will be expensive.

Catch the Live Scorecard of the 2nd Test match between Sri Lanka and South Africa here
(Catch live cricket score and live updates of the 2nd Test between Sri Lanka and South Africa)
Hello and welcome to CricketCountry's coverage of the second Test between Sri Lanka and South Africa at the Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC), Colombo. On Day One, Mahela Jayawardene smashed his 34th Test ton, his 11th at this venue and took Sri Lanka to a good position at 305 for five. On a good batting track, the South African bowling attack did have its moments and they took five wickets. Dale Steyn was the pick of the bowlers and he picked two early wickets to stun Sri Lanka. Kumar Sangakkara, who has been in imperious form for some time, was dismissed first ball when Steyn bowled a short ball and he couldn't pull it. But the calm of Jayawardene helped them overcome the tough moments and go on to post a good total.
Jayawardene is batting on 140 and has a few double tons at this ground already. Will he push for another one today? Giving him company in the middle is Niroshan Dickwella, the young wicketkeeper-batsman, who is making his Test debut in this game. They will face a South African bowling attack that would like to take early wickets. There is a good contest in store for b0th sides and one to look forward to. I am Amit Banerjee and will take you through the day's proceedings.

I'm having a problem with the quotes.
I made some customization to the quotes (design-wise) and it started acting really weird.
I have 5 quotes written. The first one appears fine, but then in the rest of them part of the quote doesn't appear at all. Also, when the first one appears again part of the quote disappears there too.
I have tried everything I could. Deleted it, installed it again, upgraded to the latest version, deactivate the other plugins I'm using, etc. Nothing made a difference.
My website url is 'whotoearnmoneyonline' and I'm using the plugin in page 'Daily Insights'.
Any ideas on what could be the problem?
Thanks in advance!

A Standard Monitor Loudspeaker Used as a Reference for Digital Audio Productions in Studios with Different Acoustic Properties
Loudspeakers having an ideal frequency response in an anechoic room sound different in monitor rooms having other acoustic properties. In these rooms, which are not ideal from the acoustical point of view, the sound is reflected to the listener with frequency responses differing so much from one another that the first (nonreflecting) sound component is received with an ideal response, whereas the delayed ground-reflected sound features a bass boost, the sound reflected by the ceiling makes an extremely present impression and in the lateral reflections the lower midrange is missing. These great deviations of the polar pattern are due to the frequency differences. This paper describes an active monitor loudspeaker system having a practically uniform polar response over the total listening range.

What I Learned at Nick Licata's Wedding
1) Dave Meinert will not be appointed to fill the current council vacancy.
2) 43rd Democratic District Chair Dick Kelley is not running for State Party Chair.
3) Frank Chopp shaved his mustache.
4) Larry Gossett still exists.
5) Nick's base doesn't dance very well.
6) And Nick Licata is still the coolest city council member: He got married (this past Saturday night) in the movie theater at the Grand Illusion w/ a Buster Keaton silent movie running on screen; he and his beautiful bride, Andrea Okomski, were serenaded by their favorite song, The Cure's "Just Like Heaven" before tying the knot, and Nick knows how to dance.

Research has proved that various parts of the moringa tree can be used to cure a minimum of 300 diseases. Let's see a few of them here. •Moringa is rich in Vitamin A. It has four times more Vitamin A or beta-carotene than carrots. Hence, it is a weapon against blindness. •It is also a rich source of Vitamin C many times more than oranges. •Normally milk is said to be a rich source of calcium but the amount of calcium present in moringa leaves is way higher than in milk. •The moringa leaves are said to contain twice the protein present in milk. •Bananas are a rich source of potassium. But moringa leaves contain seven times more potassium than bananas. •Along with potassium, zinc is also found in large quantities in moringa. •If moringa leaves were to be eaten by one and all, the world will be free of anemia as it contains thrice more iron than spinach. •With all the junk food eaten these days, many people face problems of high cholesterol. Moringa helps in balancing the cholesterol levels in the body. •Essential Amino acids are also found in moringa. •Moringa is also said to balance sugar levels, hence it is helpful in the fight against diabetes. •The body's natural defense mechanism increases with the consumption of moringa in the daily diet pattern. Since it is an immunity-stimulant, it is prescribed for AIDS afflicted patients. Less immunity is rampant in many provinces in Africa, especially people who do not have access to nutritious food and medicines. •Moringa leaves can be consumed to stimulate metabolism. •It is also said to have digestive powers. •It is a nutrition booster and is known to promote a feeling of well-being in people. •If you are looking for non-sugar based energy, then moringa leaves is the answer. Thus, it will also help in the weight loss process. •The cell structure of the body is stimulated by the moringa leaves. •It is especially useful for lactating mothers. The consumption of moringa has shown dramatic increase in the quantity of breast milk. •It is also famous for its anti-bacterial properties. •The paste of the moringa leaves is said to beautify the skin and is hence applied by women regularly. •It protects the liver and kidneys. •It can also be used as a water purifier. Other Benefits of Moringa Along with the health benefits of moringa, there are other benefits to it as well. They are enumerated below. •It can be used as a source of bio-fuel. •Cooking oil can also be produced from moringa tree. The health benefits of moringa oil, can be compared to sunflower oil and olive oil. •It is used in the manufacture of cosmetics and personal care products. Perfumes and aromatherapy oils are also manufactured from moringa seeds. The flowers of the moringa plant can be used in making herbal tea, for they add a refreshing aroma to the tea. Moringa contains more than 90 nutrients and 46 types of antioxidants. With all the health benefits of moringa, it can easily be termed as the most nutritious plant on the face of the earth. There are no side-effects of moringa tree leaves which have been proved till date. At the same time it can be consumed by small children and adults alike. Therefore, many people have started using it in porridge, pastas, breads, etc., to reap the everlasting health benefits of the extraordinary 'Moringa'.

Original Message
START: Introduce Moringa to your diet
1. Start with half a teaspoon per day for 3 - 5 days!
preferably with breakfast (tips below) and ALWAYS with food. Our Moringa powder is strong and will cause side effects if taken in too large dosses -We have had Moringa from other sources that allows higher dossage, but that is because it is less potent.
2. After 3-5 days
increase your intake. 1 teaspoons per day total is plenty for a healthy person. If you are recovering from illness or suffer from any chronic condition that affects you physically, two teaspoons per day may be better -BUT if your stomach is struggling because it needs to cope with medication it is better to slow things down. If you are healthy and physically very active, three teaspoons per day is possible.
3. After 2 Weeks:
You may want to take Moringa every second day after a while -Listen to your body. You will notice if your dosage is too high. Just take less, or skip a day -or two. Your body is unique as are its needs. After two weeks of regular use you can begin to make changes in how much and when you take Moringa.
Remember, you can't force the body's processes, so don't take Moringa as a quick-fix. Take it regularly as part of your diet and you should get the miracle benefits -many of which are preventative.
When to take Moringa
Most who take only one teaspoon daily take Moringa in the morning with breakfast. Those who struggle after lunch, take it with lunch. Those who take it to improve digestion or sleep, take it with dinner.
You are going to have to see what works best for you. A three day regimen taking Moringa at a specific time will tell you what results are for you by taking it at that time.
Not everyone takes Moringa daily. Some take less daily, others take 1 or two teaspoons every second or third day.
Health Risk:
Like all dark green foods, such as Spinach, Moringa thickens the blood. If you are on blood-thinning medication or are pregnant, consult your health care practitioner before taking Moringa.

On the windows-linux interoperability front we have Samba for file/print sharing (SMB/CIFS), rdesktop for terminal services (RDP). Is there any linux tool available that will allow you to view and edit the registry of a remote windows machine (ie. not a dual-boot situation where your trying to hack the files from the windows partition while running linux)?
I think that this is so trivial to do over a remote desktop or vnc connection that there's little pressure for such a tool. It seems
Offline, you can edit a Windows Registry from Linux using the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor, although if you are physically booting up the Windows box from a Linux CD, you might as well just boot into Windows and use the native tools. Remotely, your best bet would probably be to just use rdesktop to log into the computer remotely, and then use regedit to edit the registry.

I wonder when we'll see a crackdown by the nba on language such as the
n-word(and no, there is no difference between a white person saying it or a
black person, no race owns different words. And giving two sets of rules to
different races is racism)
You'd think the African American community would stop using the racist n-word if they truly wanted to do away with racism.

By the color of their skin... or sexual orientation. Keep trying though! Some of us will keep encouraging you through the enlightenment process, but for now I guess recognizing the frailties of categorizing a person by the color of their skin will suffice.

This issue is a dog chasing its tail. You call for an end to racism-whatever that is-and then identify a particular group as "Africa-American." Isn't that moniker racist? Every time we put some country of supposed origin in front of the word "American" racism has raised its ugly head. Society forces us to be racist by perpetuating stereotypes in the media, sports, and politics. If race is not brought up every so often, some organization (NAACP, Latin Attorney's Association, the alphabet networks) will make sure we are reminded how racist we all are. How many times do we hear: "She is the first black female reporter" or "He is the first Jewish-American-Mormon-Gay jogger to win a medium-sized half-marathon." The more we as a people try to change, the more society forces us to remember to stay the same.

Each new generation sheds more racist and antiquated beliefs.
Just one generation before me, people were fighting to marry the person they love, even though a majority of folks made up of ignorant racist wanted to keep folks segregated, "The way God intended." It would be a few more years before the LDS church would change their (not) doctrine to allow blacks equal access to ALL their ordinances.
It's hard for a lot of folks to change their beliefs when what they've been taught most their lives as the "Truth" isn't really the truth.

As long as it can further an agenda, I don't think we will ever see the end
of race.
Consider the situation involving George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin. There was never any evidence that race had anything to do with Zimmerman shooting to defend his life. Zimmerman volunteered time tutoring minority kids and got along with his neighbors of all ethnic backgrounds. Yet for months the story was presented by the media with a race narrative.

The issue isn't racism, but rather the Internet and an insatiable need to
bolster the narrative.
Donald Sterling has a history of prejudicial actions going back decades. Within the sports world those actions were well-known.
Our PC world will continue to attack people at the time of their choosing. Some are given a pass today and will be made to suffer tomorrow.
We must all be careful about what we say and when we say it. Perhaps the Eyres should tell us how to teach that to our children.

First, your are right, it is not ok to judge people on their color or their sexual orientation.
However there is a world of difference between a person's skin tone (or sexual orientation) and a person's behavior. Law has no right to differentiate base on color or preference, but law regularly differentiates based on behavior. In fact, that is the very essence of what law is, the discrimination of certain behaviors to create a stable, self-replicating, society.

@Kirk R Graves
"to create a stable, self-replicating, society."
Define stable. Define self-replicating. Define society. I'm sure we'll disagree on the very definitions. But since you've got it all figured out, why not move to a secluded area where everyone behaves according to your recommendation. But if you stay here, why not join the party! We have pluralism! And rule of law that prohibits enforcing any one group's narrow definition of common good over another's.
That's why the SSM movement is gaining traction. Not because we're out to get religious groups that cling to their liberal bible interpretation, but because there is inherent value in allowing people in a free society to be free. Allowing discrimination on the basis of biological features has, historically speaking, marginalized people and prohibited access to certain benefits of our society. Let me pose a challenge: apply empathy towards other people as liberally as you read the Bible. For each verse that is ignored, find a group that you are unfamiliar with and learn about their struggles or grievances. One is bound to find broader horizons and a deeper sense of living.

From the tone of your comment, I have to assume you would prefer that anyone not in support of SSM should "move to a secluded area where everyone behaves according to (their) recommendation", rather than be willing to have an open and honest discussion on the issue.
Yes, the rule of law is how we govern. But, the issue is not "should the law rule?", but how to interpret that law. For 200+ years, there has been no question about what the word "marriage" meant. Whenever a law was created or enforced during those years it was with that definition in mind. Now, certain groups are trying to change that definition.
That is really what the issue is. Once we as a nation decide if we want to change the definition of the word, then the Law can be applied. Until then, rather than let the people decide what that definition is, certain groups are doing an end-run around the will of the people and getting the word changed through the courts.
Does that sound like the pluralistic approach to law?

Sorry, I forgot your definitions.
(my definitions since that is what you asked for)
Society - A structured community of people bound together by similar traditions, institutions, nationality. This has nothing to do with religion, but definitely includes shared moral values.
Stable - Able to flex and adapt to changes around it without giving up it core common values.
Self-Replicating - In order to last, any society must pass it's values on to the next generation. This requires 1) a next generation, and 2) a consistent message about what those values are.
Any society which fails in any of these 3 areas simply fails as a society, in the same way that Darwin postulated natural selection works. A stronger culture conquers or absorbs the weaker society. By definition, a culture which rejects its own mores has failed as a society because it has become something different.

I suppose it was inevitable that a piece on racism would draw SSM supporters, although I don't know why, but it does raise a question: do the Eyre's suggest we have to accept SSM to prove we are not bigots, too? If I'm overheard saying, from my living room, that I don't believe in SSM, should I be fired from my job, banned from ever going to, say, a museum?

As soon as ignorant propaganda and professional sports immorality ends, and the
whole truth in context (check the youtube video, sounds more like
'jealousy' then discrimination) is revealed and understood with
compassion and charity in place of reverse bigotry, racism and hate.
I do not understand how an NBA owner who signs the payroll checks of 80% of the African American/minority team players, African American Head Coach, 3 of 4 African American/minority assistant coaches, numerous African American/minority trainers and arena employees, I need not go on, is accused of racial discrimination.
Oh, and by the way the video should expose his minority girlfriend to be the real culprit of reverse discrimination and dishonesty.
Oh, and by the way as I have observed over the course of my life isn't it mostly the rich, greedy white race that supports the minority athletes by attending the professional/collegiate sporting events where affirmative action is nonexistent and purchases and wears the apparel and sports memorabilia regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation/morality, religion etc. etc?
I thought society had progressed into the 21st century, I suppose it just goes to show that bogus, divisive retro reruns still pay the bills.

"honest discussion on the issue."
That's fair, but goes both ways. One side wants equal access to an institution currently reserved by a narrow definition that they feel should be expanded to include same gender couples. The other side (yours presumably) wants the definition maintained and to reluctantly open alternative avenues for same gender couples to gain the monetary benefits of marriage, but with a different title. The honesty breaks down at the point of why same-sex couples do not qualify for marital status under the law. The actual reason is that homosexuality is condemned in the Bible and thus considered a choice by lustful or sexually confused individuals, rather than a natural occurrence in both ours and every other observed dual-gender species. So the question raised is: why are the legal defenses for prop 8 and it's replicants not addressing the Biblical origins of the argument and instead providing debunked and scientifically biased studies in the court room? Moreover, if history is any indication of future behavior, then animals, and humans in particular, are not in any need of encouragement to propagate and we could presumably cross that bridge when and if we arrive.

Hi all,
I've come here to vent about negative comments made to me about nursing, so here is something positive that happened: My 18m DS had to get stitches above his eye today - 3 in total. I asked the dr if she'd be willing to stitch while I nursed and she did! She said she'd never done it before, but was willing to give it a shot. It worked out really well. The only time he cried was when the cut was being irriagated with water (more b/c the water was spilling all over his face and he HAD been sleeping on the breast). While she was sewing him up he just looked all around with breast in mouth.
I am so happy.
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I love it when the medical world accepts our nursing superpowers. My son had a double ear infection on his second birthday checkup and my doctor offered me the option of antibiotics or wait and see with extra nursing. His suggestion. It helps that he is married to an LLL leader.

I hope your little one heals quickly.

Randolph to veto last-minute budget changes
Published: Saturday, December 1, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 30, 2007 at 11:56 p.m.
THIBODAUX Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph plans to veto $2.5 million in 11th-hour amendments to local governments 2008 budget to give blindsided council members time to review the recently approved changes.
If left unopposed, the vetoes would cut half the budget for the new South Lafourche Annex and eliminate funding for two south Lafourche pavilions and the Beach Front Committee, a task force that fights coastal erosion.
Randolphs vetoes would also restore $900,000 for a corridor to the Leonard Mill Jr. Airport in Galliano and add money for a road grader and an inflatable levee stockpile.
Councilmen Daniel Lorraine, Brent Callais and Tommy Lasseigne presented the 10 amendments to the rest of nine-member panel exactly two months after the budget was unveiled and roughly 30 minutes before the approval meeting Tuesday.
All 10 changes passed by at least six votes, the minimum number needed to override a parish presidents vetoes. But some council members said they were given too little time to consider the changes before the $60.5 budget was approved unanimously.
Its not that we have anything against the amendments, per se. Its just that they were brought up from the floor without just cause, Randolph said. There was ample time to prepare amendments.
Randolph said she would try to veto the amendments prior to the Dec 11 meeting, the councils last of the current term. However, she is within the rules of the parish Home Rule Charter to veto the amendments after the meeting.
Under the charter, a parish presidents vetoes cant be overridden after two weeks. Therefore, if she waits, the council must call a special meeting to reinstate the changes.
In interviews, six council members said Friday that they would attend a special meeting if necessary. The other three, Michael Matherne, Tyrone Brown Williams and Michael Delatte, could not be reached.
Councilman Phillip Gouaux, who had voted in favor of some changes, said he would not override any of Randolphs vetoes to give the four incoming council members an opportunity to create their own budget. That could tip the scales enough to keep some vetoes in place.
Councilman Daniel Lorraine, who voted for all the amendments, said he would vote to overturn all her vetoes and others said they were undecided until they reconsider the amendments.
The incoming council can vote to alter the budget with administration approval next year.
The 2008 spending plan marks the parishs fifth budget since it went without a spending plan from 2001 to 2003 during the Gerald Buzz Breaux administration.
The Dec. 11 meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. in the Barrios Center at 1612 La. 182 in Raceland.

All Rise...
Judge Daniel Carlton is producing the American remake, Encyclopedia Brown and Fearful Fishing Hole.
The Charge
Everyone knew the victim. But nobody is saying a word.
Opening Statement
The Girl by the Lake is an Italian film which feels very European. The pace is slow and the acting is well contained; not to the point of boring, just enough to keep the story moving while the characters do their thing.
Facts of the Case
A beautiful young woman named Anna (Alessia Piovan) is found dead near a lake in an idyllic Italian village where everyone knows everyone. Big city detective Giovanni Sanzio (Toni Servillo) is called in to solve the mystery. After a string of dead ends and little to no cooperation from the townsfolk, clues to what really happened slowly begin unravel.
The Evidence
The Girl by the Lake opens with a scene that one might think will be the film's focus—A little girl is walking home when a red truck pulls up beside her. After a short discussion we can't hear, the girl gets into the truck before it drives away. My first thought was this would be the last we see of the girl. Soon after, we realize she is safe; this was merely a setup to introduce a character who would become a suspect in the murder of Anna.
The Girl by the Lake plays like a European film, in that it takes time to enjoy the surroundings and rolling landscapes, even amidst the troubles of life. The film also reflects the Italian culture in the way it tells the story, without a large number of plot points or any real twists. This might prove boring to those seeking a fast-paced thriller because it certainly doesn't deliver in that respect. The Girl by the Lake feels like a Krzysztof Kieslowski picture, concentrating more on the cinematography and character exploration than high energy sequences. In fact, I was reminded of Kieslowski's Three Colors Trilogy right at the start, when the color red was strategically placed in an overabundance of shots. Red was the color of the little girl's jacket and might have been used to convey a bit of suspense, its unconscious relation to blood. Well, that's my guess and it worked for me.
On the surface, The Girl by the Lake is the story of an inspector trying to solve a case, but beneath that is the real story of a man wrestling with his own demons. Giovanni, played wonderfully by Antonio Servillo, is stern and takes his job very seriously, but also uses his job as an excuse to remain somewhat detached from the problems of his home life. His daughter harbors much anger toward him, because he won't divulge the truth to her about his wife and her mother, who is in a hospital suffering from debilitating mental illness. Still, the mystery of Anna is a constant reminder of Giovanni's somewhat broken relationship with his own daughter, neither of which have an easy solution.
I enjoyed The Girl by the Lake for its cinematography and superior acting. However, I might have a tough time sitting through it a second time, as the resolution was on par with the rest of the film's energy (or lack thereof). I wasn't necessarily looking for a twist, but something a slightly more engaging would have left a better impression.
The film is presented is a pleasant 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen with a suitable Dolby 5.1 Italian surround track. Subtitles are offered in English and Spanish. In the bonus features department, the only thing we get is a trailer; nothing here for those hoping to learn more about the film.
Closing Statement
The Girl by the Lake is a solid mystery, but may be frustrating to those who enjoy a steady diet of quicker-paced American thrillers.
