Dubai Timelapse
For my video post this week it's back to timelapses we go. And here is an amazing one of Dubai called, simply and appropriately, "Dubai Timelapse." This is definitely one to watch in full screen high definition. If the video doesn't display for you, click here.

Jon Seisa says:
Very fun, indeed. The petroleum industry fuels the growth of nations and created Dubai. Petroleum is not merely used as fuel for transportation and for heating, literally every synthetic product, device, electronic, fashion, appliance, cosmetic, container, piece of furniture, hair product, toiletry, house, building, coating, flooring, carpeting, plumbing, vehicle, phone, computer, laptop, food storage, and so on are made from petroleum by-products. It's literally shocking that the president hinted in his Georgetown climate change speech this week to possibly kill the Keystone XL Pipeline if it worsens carbon pollution – a strange, unlikely and dubious ramification floated out as a causative reason to can the project; this will guarantee a more intense economic downturn and GNP stagnation for the U.S. economy.

Completely unsustainable right from the start.

This city is a joke in urban planning circles. -
Bob Stephenson says:
While impressive I find most of the shot devoid of pedestrians. It appears unless you are watching the fountain you are driving. Looks like they just built a rich Los Angeles.
Jon Seisa says:
I saw an interesting video once, about 5 years ago, on Dubai (at close range, so to speak). It was done by an extremely observant and astute British chap. His analysis of Dubai was riveting. He observed that Dubai lacks systematic and methodical infrastructural maintenance and the cohesive municipal ordinances to do so, like a modern Western nation possesses and periodically exercises to sustain a high standard of safety and infrastructural integrity, as U.S. cities do. He pointed out visual examples of the already crumbling Dubai infrastructure, via eroding telltale signs in structural walls and foundations where demonstrative gapping holes have appeared in the recently constructed structures, and given complete negligence. I was stunned. Basically, Dubai is a hollow façade.

Three Stars Colored Champagne Chalk
An assortment of deeply pigmented, dust-free chalk made from the natural chalk deposits in Champagne, France. Made by a 130-year-old company in Scwabach, Germany. (
A beautiful spectrum of colors. The chalk works for when you're making lists, outlining a hop scotch board, coloring in a killer chalkboard pie chart, or drawing an elaborate trompe-l'oeil in a public square.
The chalk is dust-free so you won't be coughing it up if you end up drawing too furiously. Unlike most commercial chalks, these sticks are made from natural calcium carbonate deposits from Champagne, France. It's the same stuff as the region's wine caves, and the White Cliffs of Dover.
The assorted box has one white stick and the rest are tinted: dark blue, light blue, green, light green, pink, orange, yellow, red, cream, tan, and brown.
Three Stars (or Drei Sterne in German), has been making chalk for 130 years.
Use & Care
Thin, round chalk makes finer lines than big, stout sidewalk chalk, but the concept is still the same, it leaves a thin, loose layer of itself on gritty surfaces. Use this chalk where ever you want.
Great for writing and making lists on chalkboard, or drawing barnyard animals on the sidewalk.
Erasing depends more on the surface than on the chalk, use a chalkboard eraser or a damp cloth for chalkboards and chalk paint. Let stomping feet erase chalk lines on sidewalk.
Production & Design
Generations of German school children have grown up with Three Stars chalk. The company was started by one Anton Franz Moertel in 1870, and five generations later, Three Stars is still owned by his great-great grandchildren.
With 130 years of experience behind them, Three Stars has mastered the art of making reliable, consistent, high quality chalk.

Sioux City, IA - Morningside College's John Sievert, a senior from Akron, Iowa, became the second wrestler in Mustang history to win a NAIA National Championship when he defeated sixth-ranked Carl Lawrence of Missouri Valley College by a 3-1 decision in Saturday evening's 197 lb. title bout at the NAIA Wrestling National Championships in Des Moines, Iowa.
Sievert joined Morningside head coach Jake Stevenson as a national champion. Stevenson won the NAIA 184 lb. National Championship as a sophomore in 2007.
Sievert, ranked seventh in the nation, closed out the season with a 19-match winning streak to finish with a record of 21-2.
He took a 2-0 lead against Lawrence when he scored a takedown with 49 seconds left in the first period. Sievert made it 3-0 with an escape early in the second period. Lawrence closed within 3-1 when he escaped Sievert's grasp early in the third period to complete the scoring.
Sievert beat another Missouri Valley opponent to earn his berth in the finals when he upset top-ranked Josh Manu with an 8-7 decision in Saturday's semifinals. Lawrence also claimed his spot in the title bout with an upset triumph when he won a 3-1 decision against second-ranked Derek Nightser of Grand View University, who was last year's NAIA 197 lb. national runner-up.
The 197 lb. championship match was the second time Sievert and Lawrence crossed paths at the NAIA National Championships. Sievert pinned Lawrence in 6:13 when they met in last year's opening round while competing as heavyweights.
Sievert's journey to the 197 lb. title began with a record breaking performance in a second round victory against Eric Johnson of Calumet College. Sievert pinned Johnson in 13 seconds for the fastest fall in Morningside history. Weston Frahm held the former Morningside record with a 15-second fall during the 2005-06 season.
Sievert won a 9-6 decision against 11th-ranked Kyle Soderblom of William Penn University in the quarterfinals to set up his victories against the Missouri Valley opponents in the semifinals and finals.
Sievert finished his Morningside career with an 86-32 record with a school-record 44 falls.

Five biggest questions for Boise State football
Submitted by Brian Murphy on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 4:29pm, updated on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 4:33pmThe college football season begins Thursday night with several televised games (Oregon State vs. Stanford; South Carolina vs. N.C. State) and really gets underway Saturday with a full slate of games, including Boise State hosting Idaho State at Bronco Stadium and Idaho visiting Arizona.
Here are the five biggest questions surrounding the Broncos:
1. Is the offensive line good enough?
Gingg, Brady discuss linebacker switch
Submitted by Chadd Cripe on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 3:28pmBy Chadd Cripe
Boise State senior linebackers Kyle Gingg and Tim Brady said Wednesday they were surprised when coaches decided to juggle the linebacker corps last week.
Brady moved from the strong side to the weak side, Gingg moved from the weak side to the middle and freshman Aaron Tevis moved into the strong-side spot. Sophomore middle linebacker Derrell Acrey was the odd man out.
Welcome to the Varsity Extra blog
Submitted by jzentz on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 2:59pm, updated on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 3:05pmWelcome to the Idaho Statesman's Varsity Extra blog, where you'll find the latest news and analysis throughout the school year.
Let's start with the changes you might have noticed on the Varsity Extra page you can link to here.
What are we asking of jurors?
Submitted by Kevin Richert on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 2:53pm, updated on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 3:01pmI feel deeply sorry for the 15 jurors who were exposed — in sickening detail — to the crimes of Joseph Edward Duncan III.
And I feel deeply relieved I wasn't alongside them.
Like some 300 other people, I was called as a prospective federal juror in the sentencing of Duncan, a process that ended moments ago when Duncan was sentenced to death of three counts. (Click here for the story.)
Boise venture capitalist: I went to too many small venture events
Submitted by David Staats on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 2:36pmMark Solon, of Highway 12 Ventures, says he took part in "too many small regional venture events from 2000-2006 without the needed critical mass for success." So he proposed, and is organizing, the first fall gathering of the Intermountain Venture Capital Association in Sun Valley. You read about that in Solon's July 17 "Starting Up" column in the Statesman.
Stone Temple Pilots tickets for $10
Submitted by Michael Deeds on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 12:58pm, updated on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 12:59pmIf you've resisted buying tickets to the Sept. 5 Stone Temple Pilots concert at the Idaho Center Amphitheater, they're making it pretty enticing. I'm told that general admission lawn tickets will cost $10 if you purchase over Labor Day weekend.
Independent coffee shops hang on as Starbucks retrenches
Submitted by David Staats on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 12:54pmRachael Bogert of the Sacramento Bee and Brad Talbutt of the Idaho Statesman have taken a look at independent coffee shops in an economy that is leading Starbucks to close some stores, including two in the Treasure Valley.
Independent coffee retailers are managing to maintain business, owners say.
"The little guys are trading on loyalty and, because of that, store sales have not dropped significantly and their core remains strong with a steady flow of patrons," says their story, the full version of which will run in the business section of Thursday's Statesman.
Anti-discrimination movement goes grassroots
Submitted by Kevin Richert on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 10:36amAdvocates for Idaho's gay, lesbian and transgender communities will head back to the Legislature next year to take another run at amending Idaho's Human Rights Act.
But first, they're doing something that makes a lot of political sense. They are going to Idaho communities making the case to expand a state law that prohibits workplace and housing discrimination.
Oregon Trail Fire found kindling along the rim
Submitted by Rocky Barker on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 9:58amWalking along Sweetwater Drive Tuesday I was struck by the different burning patterns along the ridge adjoining Oregon Trail Heights. It was like the fast-moving, flashy fire tested each home on the rim looking for an opening to burn and grow.
You have to see a fire shooting across a flat grassland to believe how fast it can move. Then when it hits a steep ridge like the one below Oregon Trail Heights it not only has the wind pushing it but its flames now have fuel above it to feed the process.

A brilliant thriller from the author of the acclaimed Good Thief's Guide series asks, how can a beautiful woman simply vanish?
When Rob Hale wakes up in a hospital after a motorcycle crash, his first thought is for the gorgeous blonde, Lena, who was on the back of his bike. The doctors and police, however, insist that he was alone at the scene. The shock of the accident must have made him imagine Lena, especially since his description of her resembles his late sister, Laura.
Convinced that Lena is as real as he is, Rob teams up with Rebecca Lewis, a London-based PI who has a mysterious connection to Laura—and learns that even a close-knit community like the Isle of Man can hide dangerous secrets that will not stay safe forever.Chris Ewan's Safe House "is an exciting, well crafted thriller, with flashes of real humour and insight." (SJ Bolton).

WESTFIELD - As part of the redevelopment of the former E.H. Hall Inc./Westan Tannery property, the Tioga County Development Corp. has completed several land transactions involving a portion of the properties, Little League fields and two water supply parcels.
"Ever since we gained control of the tannery properties, it has been the goal of TCDC to put back into private and public ownership portions of the lands," said Robert J. Blair, TCDC president and CEO.
"As a result of a foreclosure effort in July 2012, three parcels are being returned to private ownership, thus bringing the properties back on the tax roles. Three other parcels have been deeded to the borough."
Since the closing of the tannery in 2005, Westfield Borough has been active in securing public ownership of the parcels to allow their intended use to continue and not fall to the mercy of private developers.
"Today we celebrate the secure future of the Little League complex in Westfield. It was through the generosity and community mindedness of the E.H. Hall Co. that created this facility back in the 1980s," T. James Davis, Westfield Borough Council president, said.
"We applaud the Tioga County Development Corp. for their contribution to the Borough of Westfield and our youth. The borough appreciates our relationship with TCDC and actively supports their efforts for the creation of the Westfield Business Park," Davis added.
According to Blair, the second phase of the planned transaction will be to deed some of the land to Westfield Township and the Westfield Cemetery Association.
"The primary objective is to develop the Westfield Business Park along Church Street into a brownfield redevelopment project. We have completed a master plan which calls for a 17.6-acre business complex on seven parcels of land on the site of the former Plant 1. All four taxing bodies have agreed to apply for a Keystone Opportunity Zone for the site," he said.

Like many of Australia's most prized assets, its oldest pub may soon be owned by Asian investors. Sydney's Fortune of War, which dates back to 1828 when the journey Down Under from Europe took six months to complete by sail, is on the market for the first time in 20 years, according to property agent Ray White.
The pub, which claims to be the oldest in Australia still serving pints, is part of a three-pub-and-hotel complex for sale based in the Rocks district of Sydney—the city's old town where the British began their settlement in the late 18th century.

Old Calendar: Saints Faustinus and Jovita, martyrs
"If your virtue goes no deeper than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never get into the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 5:20)." The need to make reparation is a vital, inescapable urge of a free person. His very nature cries out for order and peace. His reason tells him that where an order has been violated, the order must be repaired; and the higher the order, the greater must be the reparation. To be free at all, is to accept the responsibility for atonement. Sin is a violation of God's order. Sin demands reparation — the reparation of personal penance, personal prayer, personal charity to all. Part of our atonement to God is made by serving our fellow men. — Daily Missal of the Mystical Body
According to the 1962 Missal of Bl. John XXIII the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, today is the feast of Sts. Faustinus and Jovita, two martyrs of Brescia, in Italy, where they are the patrons of the city. A late account of their martyrdom makes them two brothers, one, Faustinus, a priest and the other, Jovita, a deacon.Stational ChurchSt. Faustinus and Jovita
Faustinus and Jovita were brothers, nobly born, and were zealous professors of the Christian religion, which they preached without fear in their city of Brescia in Lombardy, during the persecution of Adrian. Their remarkable zeal excited the fury of the heathens against them, and procured them a glorious death for their faith.

Amtrak Works With Feds To Fight Human Trafficking
Two federal government agencies are teaming up with Amtrak to fight human trafficking.
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood and Amtrak President and CEO Joseph Boardman announced the new partnership Thursday.
Through the partnership, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Transportation will work with Amtrak to train more than 8,000 frontline transportation employees and Amtrak police officers. The plan is for them to identify and recognize evidence of human trafficking. They will also learn how to report the crime.
In March, President Obama directed his administration to redouble efforts to eliminate human trafficking.
"Today, we pledge to do more to combat human trafficking by broadening our network of partners to help us identify and rescue victims and help bring the perpetrators to justice," said Napolitano. "We're grateful to have the participation of Amtrak and the Department of Transportation in this important effort, which will help save lives, protect innocent victims, and prevent this form of modern day slavery."
The training for Amtrak workers will come through DHS' Blue Campaign. The initiative was designed to educate DHS employees on how to identify potential victims of human trafficking.
"We cannot let the American transportation system be an enabler in these criminal acts," said Secretary LaHood. "In addition to today's partnership with the Department of Homeland Security and Amtrak, we are working with all modes of transportation to help stop the flow of human trafficking. Raising awareness can save lives, and we all have a responsibility to keep an eye out for these activities."
Boardman says the partnership is also part of DOT efforts to raise awareness about the problem and to make sure the transportation system is not being exploited for human trafficking.
"Amtrak is supportive of the DHS and DOT initiative to improve human trafficking awareness in the transportation industry and is proud to be the first partner in a program that will expand across the transportation sector."

Find $1,230 in Your Dining RoomThis little-used room isn't just a trove of silver trays and cut crystal: Plenty of less obvious items are worth way more than you'd think.
By Lynn Andriani
Photo: Thinkstock
Milk Glass Cake StandsConsider it a ripple effect of the cupcake craze: Pastel-hued or white glass pedestals for cakes and other baked goods are some of the most sought-after retro items hiding in your china cabinet. Milk glass, which is opaque, generally isn't as valuable as crystal, but if it has a well-known manufacturer's name on the bottom (look for Duncan, Fenton, L.E. Smith or Westmoreland), it could be worth anywhere from $50 to $400.

Main PlayingWith Quotes main index Narrative
"Well, obviously, Lionel Tribbey is a brilliant lawyer whom we cannot live without, or there would be very little reason not to put him in prison."
Some characters have pervasive or extremely noticeable personality quirks, but somehow remain faithfully employed because they are just that good at what they do. Coworkers, superiors, and friends are willing to overlook certain informalities because of this (e.g. a hypothetical highly successful lawyer who happens to wear fuzzy pink bunny ears during all his cases) so long as they get the job done and cause a minimal amount of intentional problems. This is a cost/benefit ordeal: if they weren't so good at their job or their quirks were too obstructive, an employer would consider them a necessary sacrifice for sanity.
Much like the Genius Ditz, it is a strange mixture of brilliant and bizarre. Their quirks don't seem to be intrinsic to success, a la Crazy Awesome, and the unexpected quirks only tend to bother new characters who don't know them well. Compare the Insufferable Genius, whose quirk is more often just being a Jerkass. The Insufferable Genius might insist everyone address him as "sir" or "Dr. Smith"; the Bunny-Ears Lawyer might not answer unless addressed as "Grand Duchess Abigail Chester Wilson Snapdragon Lemmywinks Brian Brain McFisticuffs the Negative 10th."
There are lots of Bunny-Ears Lawyers out there (we had to make subpages because of how many), mainly because having the character be an expert allows the writers to plausibly put them in any situation they want while the quirks make the characters interesting and unique. There is some Truth in Television to this trope—just check out the Real Life section. Authorities in educational or professional environments will sometimes ignore quirks, especially if they don't have any relevance to the degree or job at hand. While you're unlikely to see something as extreme as a bunny ears-wearing lawyer, you will find plenty of examples of people who remain employed despite their personal peculiarities.
A form of Ultimate Job Security. For situations where the strange guy is the one in charge (and uses their strange behavior to run their business) see The Wonka. Uniformed examples may overlap with the Military Maverick. Not to be confused with the Ambulance Chaser, though they may overlap in some cases.
Luckily, they're never Ax-Crazy. Usually. For an ultra manly-man who pulls off some girly hobby and nobody minds, take a refresher in the fact that Real Men Wear Pink.
Remember: In order for a character to qualify he must keep his job through sheer unquestionable competence. Sometimes you have incompetent characters that happen to be quirky and keep their jobs through means that have nothing to do with their competence. That is not this trope.
— President Bartlet, The West Wing

FEMA needing damage reports
Martha Sparks
Society Editor
Did you sustain personal property damage during the derecho that hit the area on June 29? If you did, the Federal Emergency Management Agency would like to know.
FEMA recently awarded Fayette, Kanawha, Nicholas and Raleigh counties Individual Assistance. This decision came after Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's appeal to FEMA on August 28, after the federal agency initially denied his request for individual assistance to help West Virginians recover from the June 29th storm.
FEMA is asking residents of other counties who suffered property damage during the late June wind storm to contact FEMA to see if additional counties can be added to the Individual property assistance program.
Those who wish to report their damages have been asked to call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362).

I called the WDW dining reserv. and spoke to a rep there. I think it worked better for us because she helped with suggestions of other restaurants if the ones we wanted were booked up. She was really great!
We used the online dining reservation during our summer vacation trip and really glad to hear that improved the online dining reservation system for WDW Restaurants.
Does anyone use the online dining reservation system or dining reservation through agent?
Best Regards,
The online service is a huge improvement over what they had...calling in and fishing for anything. We love it!!!

"This year, corn and soybeans have come off in a timely manner, so most of our wheat has been planted under decent conditionsReports from across the state indicate that wheat so far is looking good," said Pierce Paul, an Ohio State University wheat specialist with the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center
Paul said that because of the early harvest of corn and soybeans, farmers got a jump on good wheat establishmentIn some cases, this included planting before the Hessian fly free date, which could potentially lead to some disease problems in the spring due to fall establishment of some pathogens
"Farmers are saying that they plant before the Hessian fly free date because they don't recall ever seeing the Hessian fly," said Paul"Not only is the Hessian fly free date about the Hessian fly, it's also about planting at a time when you can get adequate tiller development without excessive early disease development."
The Hessian fly free date – ranging from September 22 in northern Ohio to October 5 in southern Ohio – is designed to prevent the development and spread of the Hessian fly, which can cause significant damage to wheatIn addition, the Hessian fly free date is also an ideal period to minimize disease development, one example being barely yellow dwarf disease.
"Barley yellow dwarf disease is transmitted by aphidsAphid populations tend to drop during the Hessian fly free date, and when you have fewer aphids, there is less chance of virus transmission, and consequently, early disease development," said Paul"The disease is most damaging to the wheat crop when it gets established in the fall."
Paul said that to minimize winter kill and disease problems in the spring, farmers should adhere to the Hessian fly free dates when planting wheat.
"You want to get the crop in the ground early to get good tiller development, but you don't want excessive growth going into the winter and to expose the crop to a high aphid population," said Paul
Ohio farmers are anticipated to increase their acreage of wheat in 2011, largely due to an increase in projected wheat prices.

Ariel Castro apparently hanged himself in his prison cell Tuesday night, one month into the life-plus-1,000-years sentence he received for kidnapping three Cleveland women and holding them captive for a decade. Though Castro was in protective custody, which meant that somebody checked on him every 30 minutes, he was still able to commit suicide without anybody noticing. In a post for Slate, Josh Voorhees noted that "the most obvious question now facing prison officials is how the 53-year-old managed to hang himself while in protective custody." It might be an obvious question, but it's not an unfamiliar one. Prisoners commit suicide all the time - and corrections officials are hard-pressed to stop it.
In a recent report on mortality rates behind bars, the Bureau of Justice Statistics found that suicide was by far the largest single cause of death in local jails from 2000 to 2011. (The suicide stats were much lower for state prisons during that same timespan, but, even so, a state prison inmate was about three times more likely to die from suicide than from homicide.) Most of these suicides were hangings. But unlike a gallows, which will snap your neck and kill you quickly, prison hangings are often drawn-out affairs in which the inmate maintains contact with the ground and slowly asphyxiates to death. Theoretically, many of these suicides could have been prevented if corrections officials would have noticed them in time. But America's jails and prisons are overcrowded and understaffed, and consequently there is much that goes unnoticed.
While a suicide watch will reduce the risk that a given inmate will kill himself, it can't eliminate that risk entirely. As Daniel Engber wrote for Slate in 2005, in many states, a suicide watch basically means that corrections officials put the prisoner in an observation room and visit him at random intervals to make sure he is still alive. The prisoner is often watched by closed-circuit camera, too, but cameras sometimes have blind spots, and the footage is not always monitored closely. In acute cases, suicide watches can involve 24-hour in-person surveillance, but that's too expensive to maintain indefinitely.
Could better technology help jails and prisons prevent more inmate suicides? In a recent report sponsored by the National Institute of Justice, researchers from GE described a prototype Doppler radar-based alert system that could help "indicate a suicide attempt in-progress by observing and interpreting motion related to heartbeat, breathing, and limb movement." The system would be installed in jail cells, and when it detected physiological responses to asphyxiation - "spontaneous gasping, struggling associated with the mental anguish of oxygen starvation (dyspnea), and sudden changes to or absence of heartbeat and breath" - it would alert corrections personnel, who would then come and revive the inmate.
I don't know whether this Doppler system is truly effective, although GE's initial tests seem promising. But I do think these sorts of technological solutions are worth exploring in greater depth, because people who want to stop suicide behind bars need all the help they can get.

Hunting Down the Helix
Also known as NGC 7293 and Caldwell 63, the Helix Nebula in Aquarius is one of the nearest and brightest of the class of objects known as planetary nebulae. A planetary nebula is born of an aging star that exhausts its nuclear fuel and sheds its outer layers into space. As the nebula expands, the core of the star is exposed. This hot, dense cinder will evolve into a white-dwarf star and then slowly cool over billions of years.
Observationally, the Helix is one of the easiest of bright planetaries and one of the most elusive. It can be seen in binoculars and yet remain invisible in large telescopes. These claims may seem contradictory, but they can be explained by the nebula's low surface brightness. If the light of the Helix were gathered into a single point, it would shine with the light of a 7.3-magnitude star. But this light is spread over a rather large area of the sky with about half the angular diameter of the Moon! Low powers will help concentrate the nebula's light, and wide fields will show plenty of surrounding dark sky for contrast. That's why the Helix is a good small-scope target.
With such an elusive quarry, you need to hunt the Helix carefully being sure that your scope is aimed at the correct spot in the sky. The Helix is never very high in the sky from my semirural site in upstate New York, but I can sometimes see an adjacent star, Upsilon (υ) Aquarii, with the unaided eye. Spotting Upsilon will make your nebula search simple. But if your sky is too bright to show that star, try starting at 3.3-magnitude Delta (δ) Aquarii. From Delta, look 4° southwest for 4.7-magnitude 66 Aquarii. It should fit in the same finder field with Delta and shine with an orangish light through the telescope. Continue along that line another 2.8° and you will come to yellow-white Upsilon, the brightest star in the area at magnitude 5.2. The Helix sits 1.2° west of Upsilon and is best sought with a low-power eyepiece. Two 10th-magnitude stars lie halfway between, helping pinpoint the Helix in two easy jumps.
I can pick out the Helix with 50-millimeter binoculars from home. At first glance a small telescope shows only a featureless oval disk, but keep looking. The Helix Nebula yields up its details only to the patient observer.

The sad thing is that I have seen so many places that encourage customers to praise employees for good customer service... Customer Service is a thing of the past. The pity is that the places where you do receive the quality Customer Service is also where you typically pay the higher prices... and high prices do not guarantee either quality merchandise or quality customer service. The days of polite customers, I fear, have went the way of quality customer service. The plethra of various big box warehouse stores no longer encourages emploiyees to get to know their employees in fact the enviroment for the employee doesn't even encouage them to get to know their fellow employees. IMHO the problems in Customer Service are the fault of our MTV/pop BS culture and a lack of leadership from the corporate mgr's on down. |

WASHINGTON -- Employers added a surprising 165,000 new jobs in April, helping to push down the unemployment rate to a four-year low of 7.5 percent, the government said Friday in a report that included sharp improvements to prior months.
"The jobs report was a pleasant surprise. Job growth is slowing, but not as much as feared," said Mark Zandi, chief economist for forecaster Moody's Analytics. "The decline in unemployment is also encouraging, particularly because it was driven by an increase in jobs."
There were few blemishes in Friday's jobs report, as it showed job growth in most sectors with only government and construction hiring in decline. Temporary hiring, often a harbinger of future full-time positions, was up sharply for the month, at almost 31,000 positions. The leading gainer was professional and business services, a category that reflects better-paying white-collar jobs.
Retailers added more than 30,000 jobs for the month and, coming on top of strong readings of consumer confidence and healthy auto sales, the report Friday amounted to a reason to exhale relief.
"Finally some reassuring news on jobs and the economy," Jack Kleinhenz, chief economist for the National Retail Federation, said in a statement. "Today's solid employment news combined with positive March revisions may bode well for the broader economy and portend steady retail sales in April."
Friday's report included upward revisions to February and March numbers, which are now said to have been 114,000 jobs stronger than first thought.
It all combined to send stocks soaring on Wall Street in early trading. The Dow Jones industrial average soared more than 155 points in the first half-hour of trading and, within an hour, had crossed the psychological barrier of 15000. Since stock prices tend to reflect expectations about the economy six months ahead, the recent spate of improving economic indicators points to a continued bull market that pulls in more investors.
"As the market grinds higher, we think there are a lot of investors who feel they are underweight and worry that they are being left behind," said Richard Slinn, an investment specialist for JP Morgan Private Bank, which manages investments for wealthy clientele.
February's estimate of 268,000 jobs was revised up to 332,000, a solid number that is sure to spark argument about the effects of the government budget sequester that began the following month.
March estimates also were revised upward, from the dismal 88,000 to a healthier but still subpar 138,000 jobs for the first month when across-the-board cuts in federal spending began.
