4 Pillars Of Successful Brand Building From HootSuite CEO Ryan Holmes
As an entrepreneur, one of the biggest challenges you will face will be building your brand. The ultimate goal is to set your company and your brand apart from the crowd. If you form a strategy without doing the research, your brand will barely float--and at the speed industries move at today, brands sink fast.
It helps to look at branding as a challenge that entrepreneurs spend years perfecting. Don't be scared to try new things, but remember to hold on to the vision of your company and the initial successes that defined your brand.
To brand HootSuite as the premier social media management tool for small businesses and multi-national enterprises, our focus was on four specific high-level areas--pillars that, over the past several years, have helped us build HootSuite from a startup name to a successful international company.
Product Offering
Having a solid product offering is vital to the success of your brand. If your product amazes your customers, and is revolutionary and bulletproof, they will evangelize for you. If your product offering is still in its early stages, customers will be the ones to help you innovate and grow as they offer you the feedback that is necessary. Social media is a great forum for gathering unbiased feedback. There are tools that allow you to monitor every brand mention, message, blog post, or even misspellings of your brand name.
Not all feedback will be positive, so take the negative feedback and use it to your advantage. You'll learn more from what people don't like about your product than from what they do like about it. Setting up an online support system that gives your consumers a place to vent can be an incubation center for ideas and future product tweaks.
You're part of a community, whether you realize it or not. It's your job as an entrepreneur to embrace your community and to thoughtfully engage within it as a strong community leader. By creating insightful content people want to read or speaking at social engagements, you can mold your persona within your community.
It helps if you think of your online community like a garden--you need to constantly monitor to it to make sure it's growing. Give it some food to digest and keep it healthy. Keep it tidy and remember to trim the weeds from time to time.
In the early stages of developing your company, your team is often your biggest recruiting source for top talent and will represent your brand within your community. They effectively become the foundation your company is built upon.
However, establishing a team that represents both you and your brand doesn't happen overnight. You want to create an environment where people work toward a common goal, and become friends in the process. This helps cultivate a tight, connected company culture that attracts like-minded talent. Within the industry, it also shows that your business is capable of having its own social system and recruiting strategies.
An easy way to project your company culture is by publishing pictures, videos, interviews, blogs or any other media outlet that shows off your company's attitude. In the past, it was common to see heavily staged professional photos, or meet fellow employees at annual company picnics. But times have changed, and so should your branding strategy. Try using Twitter to send out some company love to the world, start a Pinterest board of inspiration, mock up a Facebook page--anything that shows you're more than just business. As a result, your company's fan base will be given the opportunity to actively engage with your company and further fall in love with your brand.
Thought Leadership
No matter what industry you're in, you need to portray your ideas and your business as a thought leader. This isn't an easy task, and it just doesn't happen by tweeting out something witty from time to time. It's important to stay current in your industry through networking and research. Developing white papers, case studies, and speaking at conferences turns the conversation towards you and can make you an influencer and a source of rich information.
Building your brand is one of the greatest challenges for an entrepreneur. It's a never-ending race to rise to the top, but if you stay diligent in your efforts, and settle for nothing short of perfection, your brand will reflect exactly that.
HootSuite [2]'s CEO Ryan Holmes founded Invoke Media, the agency that created the highly successful social media dashboard. He has been active in all aspects of HootSuite's operations, focusing on strategy, business, product development, as well as technical and social networking trends.

3.6/5 rDev +6.8%
look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Bottle: standard brown bottle, stylish and cute bottle with an echidna :)
Appearance: very dark, almost black with slight ruby against the light. 1cm brown head. Not stout-ish though, airated.
Aroma: Uh-oh. There is light caramels, but definite coffee. Sigh.
Taste: caramel malts up front, with only a light coffee and chocolate undertone.
Aftertaste: lingers for a short time, but more the coffee aftertaste.
Mouth feel: moderate body - could probably use a touch more weight. A bit too much carbonation too. Still, not bad.
Overall: very nice drop. An easy drinking stout - kind of reminds me of a combination of a quality stout and Carlton Black. Definitely worthwhile.

No BB. Gift.
Poured slightly too cold.
Pours a black body, one finger tan head. Fades to a film. Little lace.
Aromas of roasts, a little caramel, little chocolate. Moderate.
Taste is restrained and sessionable. Delicate roasts, hint of coffee. Light overall.
Mouthfeel moderatley carbonated. Watery.
Overall, somewhat average beer, and average for style. Sessionable. Trying to find something of note to write about. Fail.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Pours a dark dark brown and looks like a genuine top quality stout. Has an oily sheen to it. I managed to get a light brown head off the pour that dissipated quickly.
There is a nice sweet chocolate caramel smell coming through faintly. It's good aroma, so good in fact that I will be critical and say there is just not enough coming through. Why hide something so good?
On the taste the same chocolaty flavours and some roasted coffee come through. There is also a lightly smoked flavour to finish off which complements the roasted taste well.
Smooth feel in the mouth which suits the sweeter flavours and slips down very easily. If anything, it is slightly too oily and lacks the same stickiness in the mouth that you might get with other stouts.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Described by the brewers as a session stout , I thought it lived up to the mark.
There were some coffee like tones in a non to bitter profile In fact a hint of late palate sweetness added to the drinkability.
Quite watery in mouthfeel, which was a minor criticism it was suitably lowly carbonated ,making indeed for a pleasant sessionable stout

Dark black colour with a medium, foamy, tan head.
Mild minerally roast character with a light, tart coffee note.
Crisp and clean. Mild roast and bitterness. Nothing amazing.
Medium-light body with moderately-high carbonation. This could be silkier.
A nice, easy drinking stout but lacking in depth and character.

look: 3.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3.5
Pours a chocolatey brown colour with very pale beige head that doesn't stick around. Lace is pretty nice and sticky; if there were more head this would look great.
Smell is very sweet. Lots of palm sugar and some milky chocolate notes. Yeah, quite chocolatey overall but in a fairly unpleasant sweet way. Have sniffed better things.
Taste is quite dark and sour, a strong bitter coffee-style hit with some odd fruit and vegetative characters around the edges. Yeah, it sort of has some mild roasty notes, but it's all thin and underwhelming, and doesn't quite carry the roastiness enough, just lacks some body so the roastiness is just weak, sour and a bit insipid. Not bad, but lacking in body and just flat drinking.
The thinness makes it fairly easy to drink, but certainly not a particularly impressive drop of beer.

2.48/5 rDev -26.4%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 2 | feel: 2 | overall: 2.5
Pours a muddy looking brown, with a very filmy head that leaves a slight sheen across the surface, and a collar of fine-bubbled beige. Some lacing, but not a lot. Looks rather thin.
Very sweet on the nose - big notes of honeycomb, heavily floral raw honey and some dark chocolate twinges. Almost too sweet overall, but it certainly has a robust flavour.
Wow, despite the sweetness on the nose, there's almost nothing on the palate. It's immediately extremely thin and almost devoid of character. Watery on the front, with a slight dark grain character on the back of the palate. Really, nothing. I'm extremely surprised, and I'm very disappointed.
I wasn't overly enthused by the prospect of the honey-sweetness on the nose, but at least if it had have been there, it would have had something on the palate. As it is, it ends up very mediocre indeed.

Pours black with a small lasting head.
Nose shows lots of chocolate, quite creamy. Pretty nice! Fair bit of roasted malt too.
Some story with the flavours but more centred towards the roasted malt.
Too much carbonation.
Pretty simple but still enjoyable.

A - Poured into a pint glass a very dark brown, almost black with a 2 centimetre fluffy beige head that falls away to a thin whisp over a few minutes.
S - Nice roasted malt and chocolate notes hit the nose first, backed up by some sweetish toffee/caramel aromas.
T - Very much along the same lines as the smell.
M - Medium bodied, fairly low carbonation.
D - A nice stout indeed. I think my favourite from this brewery so far.

A vision for customer satisfaction
Simroth reports that the biggest advantage for them is that they "have not had customer complaints on missing bottles since the installation." That covers a 24/7 operation over the course of about six months that the sensors have been in operation.
One of the challenges Coke Femsa faced with the sensor was to accommodate bottle caps of different colors. The operation found that by adding a filter over the light source it could maintain a constant level of reflection from the caps that's read by the camera. Cap colors range from white printed with copy and logo to green dark blue grey yellow and red.
Simroth says that they are currently installing three additional DVT vision systems on other lines.

This comedic and touching family film follows the adventures of a shy young boy who is sent to spend the summer with his eccentric uncles. At first shocked by his uncles' unconventional behavior that includes ordering African lions through the mail, the boy soon becomes enthralled with unraveling the mystery that has followed the uncles for years. Hearing tales of their exotic adventures involving kidnapped princesses, Arabian sheiks and lost treasure, not only brings him closer to his uncles but also teaches him what it means to believe in something... whether it's true or not. Starring Academy Award-nominee Haley Joel Osment ("The Sixth Sense," "Artificial Intelligence: AI"), Two-time Academy Award-winner Michael Caine ("Batman Begins," "The Prestige"), and Academy Award-winner Robert Duvall ("The Godfather," "Apocalypse Now").
Over one unpredictable Central Texas summer in the early 1960s, everything in the lives of a family of strangers is about to change forever. For 14-year-old Walter (Haley Joel Osment), his great uncles' farm in rural Texas is the last place on earth he wants to spend the summer. Eccentric and gruff Hub and Garth (Robert Duvall and Michael Caine) are rumored to have been bank robbers, mafia hit men and/or war criminals in their younger days. But little by little, through stories spun against a backdrop of the dusty Texas night, an amazing tale comes to life via Walter's vivid, colorful imaginings--a tale set in a long-ago exotic, mysterious place where men rode stallions and fought with swords; where beautiful princesses tangled with treacherous sheiks; and where the two unlikely heroes lived an adventure of which most people only dream.

ST. PAUL, Min. (MNN) - Republicans are getting ready to put several controversial constitutional amendments on the ballot in 2012 to bypass likely vetoes from Governor Dayton. Floor votes are expected soon in the Minnesota House on a proposed constitutional amendment that would define marriage as between one man and one woman, banning same-sex marriage in Minnesota. Another controversial proposed constitutional amendment would require that voters present photo identification at the polls before receiving their ballot. Meanwhile, House Republicans are cueing up two other proposed constitutional amendments: one would limit state spending to revenues actually received in the previous budget cycle; another would require a three-fifths majority in both the House and Senate to approve any increase in statewide taxes.

Post subject: Art History for a 5th Grader?
I'm wanting to start lining up my books for next school year and my son has asked that for 5th grade we add Art History as an elective class. He loves art, loves to draw, paint, color you name it, says when he grows up he wants to work at Pixar Animation Studios as one of their artists. However, every site I've looked at as far as Art History Textbooks are for grades 6 and up. While I'm sure he could keep up with it and understand it with no problem, I'm not sure that I want to start him off at that higher level if I can get one already broken down for grade 5. Any suggestions? This will be our 3rd year homeschooling, and while I'll be the first to admit we are very ecclectic in our schooling, I think next year I'm going to buckle down and pull more of the textbook/hands on learning out verses what we've already been doing.

I should think learning how to draw freehand would be a good first step into the artworld. My son will be taking drawing lessons soon---as he has advanced past my capabilities. It is through a library program and not very expensive at all.
Since my son was small-----for birthdays and Christmas holidays-- I purchased how to draw books for kids. He's gotten quite good. Now we are looking at investing in photoshop and Corbel (sp?) as he will advance to drawing on computer.
If you think your son can handle sixth grade art history--by all means get him the book! It certainly counts as art----but so doesn't drawing lessons at a local library and that is very hands on.....and you can provide the public school with copies of the drawings. It does count.
I am looking at Scott Foresman curriculum right now.....
Hope the link works.
Good luck to you.

Thanks I will definitely keep that in mind. He did take painting lessons last year but we didn't like the instructor too much, he tended to do the work more so than my son. He's always drawing and painting so we've not really worried about art lessons, esp. since in my small town there really isn't an option of that around here unless you can find someone at the college that is willing to teach it. So we definitely let him do alot of sketching throughout the day as he feels the need to. He keeps easels for painting and such as well.

Have you considered Artistic Pursuits? I believe it combines art history with art instruction, and it is great for homeschoolers.

I hadn't hard of that one, I will definitely check into it. I did find out that one of the girls that works with me is going to school to be an Art Teacher so I am thinking of asking her if she would be interested in teaching him one class a week next school year. I know alot of times the local college here if the student talks to their professor they can get credit for tutoring they do, so I am hoping maybe she'll do it. I'd pay her of course just like I would any other instructor so maybe that will be an incentive.

A lot of Art is sexual in nature or depicts disturbing subject matter, and realistic Art History books will show that. I wanted to start A.H. early with my kids but decided to wait. I think age 16 is about right for anything serious. Of course, you just study basic techniques of sculpture, painting, etc. at any age. But trying to see the "meaning" in the work takes a more mature mind.

I'm actually an art historian and one of the best things that kids learn with art history is just exposure to different ways of seeing.
You may just want to purchase ONE really great art history book with fabulous pictures and then use that throughout the life of the child, supplementing with free library books and visits to galleries and museums.
A great book is by Marilyn Stokstad, simply called
Art History
. It has gorgeous images and covers world art.
Yes, there is nudity...in our family nudity isn't a problem. My children have had these books and images in the house their whole life, and they are the only kids I know who you can take into a museum and not giggle about the statues. Naturally, all families handle things differently so just be aware.
One thing that Stokstad does that NO other author does is that she refuses to use art consisting of rape or sexual violence, deeming it to be unnecessary and a bad example. Now, those images can be good in discussions about sexual violence...but not as a piece we should hold up as an art teaching tool to kids.
With a comprehensive book like this (
Gardner's Art Through the Ages
is also good), you only buy ONE book ever and no matter where your child is, you can pick and choose from the book...no need to go cover to cover. As your child gets older (high school age), you can have him/her read the text and analyze it but for younger children, there is value in simply flipping the pages. You could always pick one or a few pieces to focus on, print out free art coloring pages like African masks or Matisse cut-outs (http://www.artsology.com/coloring_book.php), and always there is a lot of discussion to be had. For later elementary to middle school kids, having them discuss what they see using art terms can be interesting! They see everything, I tell you!
I can help if you need anything!

Post subject: Art History for Young Children
I'm a new member and jumping in late to this conversation, but...
I've published a set of art history flash cards of famous paintings in Western art, covering the Renaissance to the 1960s. Each famous painting is reproduced and has an art analysis of it by an art historian. With these Cards, you can "feed" your son art history is small bites (Card by Card) and let him read the explanation of what the paintings are about.
Details and sample art history flash cards are at the website:
Best of luck with your son -- he sounds fabulous!

One of my favorite art history and technique courses for young kids is Meet the Masters. This is now available on-line and is a wonderful course for teaching the student about the artist, his or her technique, the time period, and then step by step instruction on how to create your own masterpiece in the same style.
We used to use this in print format and loved it. I would assume the online version is even better.
Check them out here .

Come by and chat with us for the big games this Saturday afternoon/evening.
This could be one wacky day of hoops, and now it is time for some quick predictions:
Colorado State at Air Force: Both teams are playing extremely well, and road wins are hard to come by in this league. Plus, Clune Arena is sold out, so look for Air Force to pull off another upset and get back into NCAA Tournament consideration.
Fresno State at Wyoming: Wyoming wins, that is all I got.
Boise State at New Mexico: If Boise State really wants to see itself as a viable at-large candidate come March they need this win, but the Lobos will be able to take care of this game.
San Diego State at UNLV: This is a tough one, but UNLV is so good at home, so Rebels take this one.

When I saw this morning that Revolution Softwares classic point-and-click murder-mystery adventure game Broken Sword was actually a Top Trending topic on Twitter, I couldnt quite believe it! I already knew that the iPhone and iPad had revitalised the point-and-click genre, but I hadnt realised it had actually made it as trendy as Justin Bieber! After a little further investigation though, it turned out that the reason for all the Broken Sword hysteria was that it is actually todays free gift in Apples 12 Days of Christmas promotion. As with all the giveaways, you dont have to have the 12 Days App to get the gift, simply follow the link below to the App Store. And, its not just the iPhone game thats free, its the iPad HD version too, so a great treat for iPad owners, as the iPad version boasts substantial graphical improvements, as well as an exclusive bonus: a digital version of the Broken Sword comic, illustrated by Watchmen co-creator Dave Gibbons. The lavish electronic comic - never issued digitally before - has to be earned by discovering six new hidden features buried within the game.

Remember June and Ward Cleaver – that oh-so-happy couple that chuckled through life's lessons with nary a care? The couple that never seemed to have any conflict? Never seemed to fight? Gee, Beav, weren't they happy?
June and Ward were my parents. They never seemed to disagree, to argue or to have any conflict whatsoever. I remember hearing my parents have a serious disagreement only one or two times during my formative years. If you grew up in a family where fighting was the norm and days of peace were something only the neighbors experienced, you may be jealous.
There are two sides to this coin, however. I came out of adolescence and into adulthood fearing conflict. I detested conflict. I didn't have a clue how to handle it. Conflict brought up emotions I didn't know how to handle. I had no backbone in my personal relationships – all because I didn't want any conflict. I ran scared.
Fast forward to marriage. God placed a wonderful woman in my life who was much less noticeably afflicted with conflict-aphobia. True to past form, I spent the first years of our marriage trying to avoid conflict and fighting. I hated the emotions dredged up by conflict, and I didn't know what to do when my wife brought up issues that were difficult for me to deal with. I wasted huge amounts of time avoiding conflict, hiding from it and trying to sweep it under the rug without dealing with it. I was doing all this while thinking it was best for me, best for my wife and best for our marriage.
However, instead of having less and less conflict (my inherent goal in avoiding it), my wife and I started having more frequent, more intense and more completely unsolvable conflicts. The very conflict I was running away from kept coming right back at me. I was running down a mountain away from an avalanche that wasn't slowing down.
I didn't allow my wife to have any negative emotions – or at least not to let me know about them. Through my words and actions, she understood I couldn't be bothered – or wouldn't be bothered – with conflict.
I was communicating to her, "If you have a problem with something in our relationship, don't tell me about it. It's your issue. You figure it out, and then tell me about it with a big fake smile on your face. Don't tell me about your pain. I don't want to know that you're feeling pushed out of my life because of my utter lack of willingness to deal with reality."
Our marriage arrived at a tipping point. Something had to give. The "my way or the highway" approach wasn't working. My wife couldn't go on with not being able to express herself to me. I couldn't go on hiding and avoiding the conflict gurgling right under the surface. I was destroying my marriage in my short-sighted efforts to make it my version of "better."
It was at this point of hurt that a series of events and connections with godly people led to me a life-changing revelation. I realized it was unfair not to fight. How selfish and arrogant of me to think that marriage had to be my way or the highway – especially when my way wasn't God's way.
For too many years I had been cheating my wife out of the chance to be heard. I was squashing vitality and life out of her and our marriage without even knowing it.
So I began to change. I began to accept that conflict done right is a wonderful thing. It's a crucible through which we take our relationship to a deeper level. We learn something about each other that lets us love deeper. When we accept our own shortcomings and the faults of our spouse and we work through them honestly, we get an incredible opportunity to extend God's grace to another person.
I soon realized I had also been cheating myself out of a huge part of marriage. I had not allowed myself to experience the emotions I was so scared of. When I paused and felt – really felt – the emotions that previously terrified me, I grew in ways I didn't imagine possible. Taking off my emotional sunglasses led me to see the world, my wife and my marriage in a full spectrum of new clarity. Life wasn't so one-sided anymore.
Maybe you find yourself in a marriage where your spouse "can't do" conflict. Or maybe it's you that can't do conflict. It's not fair to continue on this path.
Remember a few key principles to guide you through the process of fighting fair:
I'm not trying to be Ward Cleaver in marriage anymore. My wife and I no longer avoid conflict in our marriage. We see conflict as a chance to find the deep and rich rewards that come from living examined lives. We've learned to fight for our marriage – which is only fair.

WHY the CEO sold so much of his own shares in LYC last year if its such a lucrative company ?
Friday, 16 November 2012
8 comments:
2 days SMSL has had this article up after being asked by me, the owner, to remove it. It has continued using this without my permission.
This behaviour is so typical of SMSL, which has used no facts in its opposition to the Lynas project. Instead, it has been deceitful, misleading, lying, hypocritical and utterly determined to ignore the clear-cut scientific evidence put forward by Lynas and government experts.
I am not surprised that SMSL has continued to use this article without my permission.
I ask once again for its removal from this site.
No article I write is ever to be used by SMSL without my permission.This is the way this group behaves. Forget science, disagree with the law, disrespectful.
No wonder they are the laughing stock of the world.
Sadly though, they have not broken any law on this occasion as they have quoted you, referenced the material.
But really, all they are confirming is that their group has caused this law abiding company countless delays and cost them a lot of money. They have gained nothing but the disdain of the Rakyat (public) in Malaysia.
They are really clutching at straws now.
I think there should b some grou called Save Malaysia from the Stupids. SMS, Tans Butt/Teeth, Wrong Track and Fuziah the Black Witch are the Directors.Here we have again a group of misguided environmentalists who are doing their best to accelerate the destruction of the world economy. Never mind the fact that Rare Earth elements are a required integral part of the components used in Green technologies:
Photovoltaic Solar Power Cells, Wind Turbines, Electric Cars, Hybrid Cars etc.
Proper environmental considerations and measures have been taken with the LAMP project. Why hinder the progress and hurt the job prospects of Malaysian citizens? What is your real agenda? Are you paid by oil companies?
Interesting fact is there are several SMSL members who are share holders of Lynas including MR Tan Bun Teet and were at the lynas AGM.
Why are you holding shares in a company you say you want to drive out of Malaysia Mr Tan Bun Teet?
Good to see the share price has rebounded strongly and Mr tan has a made a profit. You are going to need that profit to pay the Lynas court costs that were awarded against you and believe me there will be a lot more of that to come
You hypocrite!

U.S. unemployment jumps
September 7, 2001: 11:03 a.m. ET
Rate hits 4.9%, highest in four years, as payrolls sink 113,000
NEW YORK (CNNfn) - The U.S. unemployment rate jumped to its highest point in four years in August, the government said Friday, as employers cut far more jobs than private economists had expected, pointing to more weakness in the world's largest economy.
The unemployment rate rose to 4.9 percent in August from 4.5 percent in July, while employers cut 113,000 jobs outside the farm sector, compared with a revised gain of 13,000 jobs in July, the Labor Department
. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com expected an unemployment rate of 4.6 percent and job cuts of only 45,000.
CNNfn's Amanda Lang takes a closer look at some of the numbers buried inside the latest unemployment report.
Windows Media
The unemployment rate was the highest since a 4.9 percent reading in September 1997.
"For those people hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel, this report reveals the tunnel is still under construction," said Anthony Chan, chief economist with Banc One Investment Advisors.
Separately, the Commerce Department
wholesale inventories fell 0.7 percent to $299.6 billion in July, the steepest drop since a 0.9 percent decline in September 1996, compared with a revised 0.4 percent drop in June. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com expected a decline of 0.2 percent.
On Wall Street,
dropped sharply while Treasury bond prices rose, sending bond market yields lower, as investors bet on another cut in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve.

The Fed has
cut its target
for short-term rates seven times this year in a bid to keep consumers spending and prevent the slowdown from becoming a recession. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and other economists worry that consumers, whose spending has helped keep the economy afloat, though barely, will cut back on purchases if they fear for their jobs. Consumer spending fuels two-thirds of the economy.
"What this report means is the economy is still losing jobs, and we'll probably have another Federal Reserve (interest) rate cut, and maybe more than one," said Astrid Adolfson, economist with MCM Moneywatch.
Still, the unemployment number is a lagging indicator, and many economists expected it to continue to rise even as the economy began to recover.
"This will doubtless shock the markets, and makes an October rate cut more likely, but it does not change the outlook for a near-term recovery," said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist with High Frequency Economics Ltd. "Falling employment, rising unemployment lag activity. These numbers reflect the second quarter economic stall."
The economy was particularly sluggish in the second quarter,
at just a 0.2 percent rate, its weakest in eight years.

The unemployment rate must also catch up with the staggering number of job-cut
made so far this year -- 1.1 million through August, according to research firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
"The increase in the unemployment rate, while very large, is really a catch-up, as the rate had been stable for four months," said Bruce Steinberg, chief economist at Merrill Lynch. "This brings the unemployment rate to where we believe it should be at this point."
The beleaguered manufacturing sector lost 141,000 jobs in August, the biggest monthly drop of the year, bringing total cuts in the sector to 1 million since July 2000. The job cuts take some of the wind out of an unexpectedly positive
earlier this week on manufacturing activity from the National Association of Purchasing Management.
"That's a huge drop in manufacturing... that throws that NAPM number in a less favorable light," said James Jackson, director of fixed income at Brinson Partners.
Still, some analysts noted that the government revised its reading for July to a rise of 13,000 jobs, from a previous estimated drop of 42,000. And the sharp drop in wholesale inventories could eventually help pave the way for a pickup in production if companies start to restock shelves.

Also encouraging was the fact that wholesalers' sales rose 0.6 percent in July after falling in June. The inventories report seemed to confirm the belief of many analysts that businesses may be near the end of an inventory correction and are finally getting the supply of goods more in line with actual sales.
"Wholesalers had been struggling with bulging inventories through the winter and spring," said Steven Wood, economist with FinancialOxygen. "However, plunging sales had largely thwarted their efforts. July's improvement is a welcome respite in this struggle."
The closely watched stock-to-sales ratio, which measures how long it would take to deplete current inventories, dropped to 1.32 months in July from June's 1.33 months.

One More Reason to Follow the Mediterranean Diet
There's been a lot of news recently about the benefits of the Mediterranean Diet, but even we didn't know sticking to it could eliminate a hereditary risk of stroke.
Special Offers
This may be the final word on low-fat diets. More and more, research supports a tastier and healthier approach to eating: the Mediterranean diet. One of the latest studies comes from Spain, where researchers found that the menu beans, dairy, seafood, minimally processed whole grains, healthy fats from olive oil and nuts, and an abundance of vegetables and fruits can virtually eliminate an increased genetic risk of stroke.
RELATED: The Mediterranean Diet Meal Plan
Among people who have two copies of a particular "stroke gene," those who ate a low-fat diet had three times the usual risk of a stroke, while those who followed the Mediterranean plan had no higher odds than folks who didn't carry the problem gene. An extra payoff: People on flavor- and nutrient-rich diets like the Mediterranean one have an easier time controlling their weight than low-fat eaters, studies suggest.

FAA says furlough delays affecting New York
The Federal Aviation Administration warned on Monday that air travelers should expect "wide-ranging delays" because of staffing cuts at air-traffic control facilities, and the agency is using traffic management plans at airports around the country to address the problem.
The delays "will change throughout the day depending on staffing and weather," the agency said in a statement.
"Staffing challenges" exist at facilities controlling airports in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas-Fort Worth and Jacksonville, Florida, the agency said. Because of budget cuts, there are fewer air traffic controllers, and planes must fly farther apart, causing delays for passengers, the FAA said.
"The FAA is working with the airlines throughout the day to try and minimize delays for travelers," it said, adding that travelers should ask airlines and visit fly.faa.gov for information on delays.

New name for Hibbing hospital
HEALTH NOTES: The hospital in Hibbing has a new, streamlined name.By: John Lundy, Duluth News Tribune
The hospital in Hibbing has a new, streamlined name.
What used to be known as Fairview University Medical Center-Mesabi is now Fairview Range Medical Center, a news release from the health system said.
The change is part of a two-year branding strategy, said Deb Boardman, president and CEO of Fairview Range, the overall title for Fairview facilities in the Iron Range.
The idea is to offer more consistency in the Fairview names, not only in the region but throughout the system, she said.
Another name change: All of the Fairview HealthLine services, which include home medical equipment, transportation, home care and hospice and billing services now will be found under the name Fairview Range.

And that wonderfully engaging experience will keep you coming back for more.SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT & SAVE A DOLLAR Reuse your 3D glasses and help us reduce our carbon footprint, help preserve the environment and save $1 by not having to buy them next time!
