Chicago, IL (April 22, 2013) – The Coalition of State Bioscience Institutes (CSBI) and Booz & Company have issued a report, entitled "Demand for Talent: Current & Projected Workforce Trends in the Life Science Industry," which provides a snapshot of the most current and projected workforce needs within the United States' life science industry and calls for broader industry participation in an ongoing analysis of talent demand.
Two of the most pressing questions for the life science industry today are "where are the jobs?" and "where are the jobs going to be?" This first-of-its-kind national analysis provides insights into these questions, drawing from thousands of current job postings and interviews with strategic industry leaders across the country about their projected talent needs
"The life science industry continues to be an engine for job creation, necessitating adequate talent devlopment at all levels of education and across multiple disciplines, with particular need for entry level technicians as well as managers with advanced experience, especially in regulatory and compliance functions," said Lori Lindburg, CSBI Chair and Executive Director, BayBio Institute.
The report identifies the life science industry's current demand for skilled, cross-functional and flexible knowledge workers, and suggests that increased industry/academia collaboration and an effort to create national industry certifications could begin to address gaps in the US talent pipeline. This need for a highly trained workforce shows up in four distinct ways:
• Substantial need for employees with baccalaureate and advanced degrees
• Relatively low need for high school-only graduates
• Advanced /specialization degrees, such as bioinformatics, biostatistics and computational biology, as well as engineers with the ability to manage complex biological process scale-up, are in exceptional demand
• Industry and experience-specific job skills in disciplines such as Regulatory and Quality Systems continue to be in short supply

Malloy denies insisting that Waterbury hospitals merge
Saint Mary's says state added conditions
Saint Mary's Hospital, Waterbury. Contributed photo. |
A spokesman for Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Friday that the administration did not urge Saint Mary's Hospital to include Waterbury Hospital in the proposed joint venture with LHP Hospital Group Inc. it announced in March 2011.
The two city hospitals and LHP agreed to expand the original joint venture involving Saint Mary's and LHP into a three-way agreement between all three parties on their own, Paul Mounds, senior policy analyst for the Malloy administration, said Friday.

The sys admin's daily grind: OpenNetAdmin
Hooked on Tables
Last month, the Havege daemon helped organize the chaos in this column. Today, Charly attempts to organize the network – a tale of suffering in three chapters.
People who want to keep track of the continually growing number of network objects have a whole world of software products at their disposal. These products are generically referred to as IPAM (IP Address Management) tools, and none of them is really popular. Admins initially resist using them before finally giving in. This process typically takes several years and is divided into three levels.
Level one: The network is still pristine. Administrators have set it up themselves and are familiar with every single server, router, and switch – in fact they are on a first-name basis with everything on the net: They even know the IP addresses by heart.

Marble Falls faces Alamo Heights in area roundMay 10, 2013, 8:00 am by Mark Goodson By Mark Goodson Highlander Sports Editor Marble Falls has made a living with defense and earning wins when the game is tight. Coach J.T. Blair has his team riding momentum into the second round of the playoffs mainly because of their persistence and ability to make big plays when it counts. The mentality will be apparent this week when the Mustang take on a veteran Alamo Heights team that was able to push across 22 runs in the two victories over District 28-4A champion San Antonio Brennan last week. Marble Falls outfielder Jay Watson came up big against LBJ with a defensive gem in the first inning of Game 2 when he threw out a runner at third base with a strike to third baseman Cole Ridgely. Its that type of play that sparks teams. For Marble Falls it was a way to stem some early momentum by the Jaguars and give Marble Falls a chance to get starter Cody Goodman deeper into the game. In a best-of-three format, the team with the best pitching has the edge. Pitching and defense cant be stressed enough. Marble Falls three starting outfielders have had their moments. It was Jimmy Damico that gunned down a Leander runner at home plate in Marble Falls opening win over Leander in that District 25-4A series. Marble Falls carries a 23-7 mark into Fridays 7 p.m. opener at Marble Falls. On Saturday when they venture to San Antonio to square off with the Mules, pitching will be key again. Marble Falls pitching options for starters are Ridgely, Cody Goodman, Garrett Winslett and Stacy Heinatz. Alamo Heights top pitchers are Cameron Mineo, James Nittoli and Tyler Freed. All three pitched against Brennan. Mineo is the probable starter in Fridays game. Alamo Heights swept its series with San Antonio Brennan. The Mules (19-9) knocked off Brennan, 14-5, in Game 1 and finished the series with an 8-5 win on Saturday in San Antonio. Mineo pitched the opener and allowed eight hits while striking out nine Brennan players. Tyler Freed was 4-for-6 batting in the two-game series. In Game 2, seven players had RBI for the Mules. Blake Klumpp is the Mules top hitter among the regulars for the season with a .373 average and 25 RBI. Marble Falls lost to Alamo Heights last season in the area round in two straight. Alamo Heights won the opener, 4-3, and took Game 2, 10-0. |

Is the iPad launch really delayed?
When Apple introduced the iPad in January, it said the device would be made available in late March. However, one analyst is now saying the launch may be delayed.
Peter Misek, an analyst with Canaccord Adams, wrote in a note to clients on Monday that production problems could limit Apple's launch of the iPad. The production issues could be bad enough to even delay the launch for a month, according to a report on AppleInsider.
"The upcoming iPad launch may be somewhat limited as a manufacturing bottleneck has impacted production of Apple's newest device," Misek wrote. &… Read more

Council on Europe cites rights abuses in Turkey
November 26, 2013 @ 6:10 am
ISTANBUL (AP) - The Council of Europe's human rights commissioner has blasted Turkish authorities for widespread human rights abuses in a stark review of the anti-government protests in Turkey earlier this year.
The report by Nils Muiznieks published Tuesday also says that many allegations of abuse by Turkish police are not being investigated.
"The Commissioner considers that impunity of law-enforcement officials committing human rights violations is an entrenched problem in Turkey," the report said.
The Turkish Justice Ministry had no immediate comment on the report, which comes just weeks after the European Union resumed membership talks with Turkey that had been stalled for more than three years.
Thousands of demonstrators were injured and five were killed during nationwide protests in May and June that were sparked when police cracked down on protesters objecting to the razing of the Gezi park in central Istanbul.
"There are serious, consistent and credible allegations of excessive use of force, in particular excessive and improper use of tear gas and ill-treatment during and after apprehensions," Muiznieks said in a statement. "These raise very serious concerns, requiring a determined response from the Turkish authorities."
Muiznieks' report warns that a failure to conduct independent investigations will result in numerous cases being referred to the European Court for Human Rights. The court oversees the implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights, which all 47 members of the Council of Europe, including Turkey, have signed.
The Council's report also raises concern about moves by the Turkish government to investigate groups that aided demonstrators, including doctors and lawyers.
"The Commissioner also expresses deep concern about a climate of fear of reprisals by administrative and judicial authorities for non-violent involvement in the Gezi events," the report says.
The report also cites numerous incidents of mistreatment of journalists trying to cover the protests.

Love it but....Pros: Beautiful! One of the best looking cases out there. Black wiring makes it easy to fill with black parts and have everything be jet black. The way the MB mounts is glorious. This thing looks absolutely sexy. Cons: Havn't had it even a year yet and after using the front door maybe 10 times it broke and will no longer latch in the down position. I just inspected the case today and noticed that the metal side feels rough as if it is rusting under the paint job. This is extremely worrying for me. Other Thoughts: I would buy another one but the door issue so many have complained about needs fixed and the side door issue is the first I've seen of it. I cannot be having any part of my build rusting or corroding. Did you find this review helpful? |
Cool looking case, heat issue?Pros: The design is pretty amazing considering the 90 degree motherboard mount, cable management is easy. Cons: HEAT ISSUE!!! I mean running a single is is fine but, the lack of fans in the case itself is horrible. I run 3 way GTX 580 SLI and idle I get is high 60's with 100% fan speed, it would've dropped really low if they made the back of the case with a intake fan for air cooling, but I guess they left it for custom liquid cool. Other Thoughts: Wish there was holes to wire cables through. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Well worth the investmentPros: The vertical motherboard mount is awesome it keeps my 2 Gigabyte SOC GTX470's running in SLI cooler than most would expect they run about 75 C under full load. My FX-8120 oc'd to 4.0Ghz with a zalman cooler runs at about 50 C under full load. This case is whisper quiet and no temps are over 55 C. Awesome case. Love the look. Cons: Only con would be if you use any video adapter's dvi to hdmi etc... you may not have enough space to use them. Not a con at all for me just something I noticed. Other Thoughts: Asus Sabertooth 990fx Did you find this review helpful? |
Terrible DoorPros: Great looks and interesting 90 degree layout. Cons: The door mechanism decided to break just when the 1 year warranty ran out. As a result, the door no longer stays down and shoots straight back up no matter how many times I push it down. I disassembled the front panel/door and found a cuboid 50 cent spring catch mechanism at the base of the door to be at fault. I'm quite annoyed because because I'm now stuck with a $200 case that has unusable CD drives. Other Thoughts: I bought it for the looks and looks are all it's good for at this point. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Expensive, flashy, but not worth the price.Pros: Unique heat dissapation layout (90° mobo layout), unique "stealth" fighter look. Not overly flash, but discreet but still with style. Cons: Quality. I read the reviews on here about the front panel sliding door and how it broke on everyone. I was like "Nah, won't happen to me." I took the shot and bought it in December 2011 and it worked great. Yesterday however, it decides to slide upward out of nowhere; it had finally broke. I couldn't believe that what everyone said was true. Very dissapointed in this case. Even from the beginning, the front sliding door slid upward in a "choppy" manner (not a smooth sliding mechanism) it it looked like they just threw some vasoline in there to slide it (no ball bearings or anything). It just kind of blemishes a case that is this price tag$, having a broken front panel like that. If you think, it wont happen to you, think again... Other Thoughts: Also, it needs to be said the cable management of this case frankly SUCKS. I don't get how companies can make a case that looks this visually appealing (in my eyes) but skimp out on quality and important things like cable management, especially when cables impede air flow and this case is designed with optimum air flow in mind. I was very dissapointed to find out the grommet holes inside the case mobo tray are so small in diameter you CANNOT even fit anything OTHER THAN A SATA CABLE! even the Sata PSU cable you have to BEND and swivel and tilt to get it through the hole (its soooo tiny). No chance in heck getting a Graphics card 6pin or 8pin PSU or, especially a 24pin PSU. You would have to drill out the mobo tray for that. so you end up having cables (big ) run up the front of the case, which is ugly because you can see it through the window. Also, the front sliding door WILL break on you. I'm getting a HAF X next time... I bought this case to be different ; big mistake. 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awesome casePros: -Awesome case design Cons: -*With 2 cards in SLI set up the case does get a bit tight, so there is limited space for certain builds. (Wouldn't recommend this case for a 3-way or Quad sli set up) Did you find this review helpful? |
amazing!Pros: These earphones are amazing. They fit comfortably in your ears. I had these things in for over 3 hours and felt no discomfort at all. The bass is pretty epic also. Buy these! Cons: Only con is the foam covers are too big for my ears. 1 out of 22 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: looks nice, doesn't make too much noise Cons: I am very dissatisfied with the build quality of this case. Judging by the reviews, I am not the only one with a defective door latch. This isn't a major issue for me, because I don't use optical drives as often as I used to. I am extremely dissatisfied with the fact that my reset switch has also failed. The button will depress, but there is no click, and no reset. I have contacted Silverstone customer support, and unless something is done to correct these clear design flaws, I will have a hard time even considering another Silverstone purchase 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
bad case for Air Cooled Sli.Pros: ~Top notch materials Cons: This is where the eggs fall. I like to Sli and I like to Overclock. If you are looking to Sli, find another case. At first when I was running 2 x GTX275's the temps would be about 40C (card 1) and the other would be in the 90C range (card 2). At first I thought that it was the cards, so I upgraded to 2 x GTX560ti's. Same thing 40ish on one card and 90s on the other. At this point I decided to upgrade the Fans, I bought 2 x 180mm Fans that claimed 180+ CFM and a 120mm fan that claimed 240+ CFM. Same result, 40/90C. At thid point I decided to take the 2 506ti's back and spend a few extra dollars to buy 1 x GTX580. Under full load, I have not seen a temp reach 70C. There just isnt enough airlfow to cool 2 cards. Other Thoughts: This is a great case if you are going to run 1 card or liquid cool. I strongly suggest you look elsewhere if you plan on Aircooling and running an Sli/Crossfire setup. Good luck and I hope my oppinions help you with you thoughts of this case. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Very ImpressivePros: Very nice look. Plenty of room inside for dual loop liquid cooling. The 90 degree rotation of the mobo is one of the greatest ideas that I've seen in any case. Great temps when using just air cooling. Fairly easy cable management (if your patient). Cons: It's a little tight when trying to fit two 12 inch light strips in. Had to put two more holes in the back for the second liquid cooling loop. Other Thoughts: Other than those two cons, it is an awesome case all around. I still get compliments about how cool my computer looks :P Did you find this review helpful? |

My commitment for next week: Our family will give up prepared foods — all of them — in favor of meals and snacks we prepare ourselves. Why? Like Jane E. Brody, personal health columnist for the Well blog, I'm drawn inexorably to the conclusion that we would eat better as a family if we ate less prepackaged food and managed our own portions rather than gobbling up all that appears on the restaurant plate.
"The increase in obesity began nearly half a century ago with a rise in calories consumed daily and a decline in meals prepared and eaten at home," Ms. Brody wrote, and I quoted in an earlier post. When we look for the causes of obesity and other dietary issues, we can't just look to fat and sugar. We need to look at the foods we eat and the way we eat them as a whole — the larger portions, the high-calorie packaged foods, the restaurant meals.
The one thing I know for certain about my own diet is that I would eat far fewer tortilla chips if I were frying, or even baking, all of those chips myself instead of just opening the bag. My kids, at 11, 9, 7 and 7, are old enough to understand that we will appreciate what we eat more if we have spent more time on it, and they understand that fresh foods are better choices. They haven't, I suspect, thought much about the fact that a century ago, if there was food around for immediate snacking it was because a parent or cook had taken the time to create a snack, but I have. There was a time before children were accompanied by a small bag of shaped cheese crackers everywhere they went, and many parents share a nagging sense that that may have been a healthier way of life.
I'm not alone in looking to the kitchen for a healthier lifestyle. From Michael Pollan to Mark Bittman to the glorious abundance of food bloggers like Deb Perelman (Smitten Kitchen) and Jennifer Reese (TipsyBaker.com) — who is, not incidentally, the author of "Make the Bread, Buy the Butter," an entire book about which pantry staples you should make at home — plenty of cooks, parents and authors have written, talked and thought more about trying to replace at least some of the seemingly more convenient options with home-cooked foods.
Next week, I'll blog about how it's going — which meals are the tough ones? Who's the holdout? Will we starve when the granola bars are not immediately at hand? But right now, I'm establishing the parameters. What does "home-cooked" mean in the modern age? Am I making bread, or would purchased bread be O.K.? What if it's purchased at the farmer's market? Is the goal of the week to see how we eat differently, or to see how much time it takes to prepare all the food for a family of six? Read more…

FRIDAY, Dec. 21 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has expanded its approval of Tamiflu to include children as young as 2 weeks old who have shown symptoms of flu for two days or fewer, the agency said Friday.
Tamiflu was first approved in 1999 for adults who showed symptoms of flu for no longer than two days. It was since approved to prevent flu in people aged 1 year and older.
Adults with weakened immune systems and children are at greater-than-average risk of developing complications from the influenza virus, the FDA said, citing the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The most common side effects of Tamiflu among young children have included vomiting and diarrhea. Rare cases of severe rash, skin reactions, hallucinations and abnormal behavior also have been reported, the FDA said.
Tamiflu is not a substitute for the annual seasonal flu vaccination, the agency stressed. The product is produced by Genentech, based in South San Francisco.

FORTUNE -- Ben Bernanke may have to pump up the shadow banking system in order to stop manipulating the bond market. At least that's how some see it.
For months, there has been talk inside and outside the Federal Reserve that the U.S. central bank might have to use an unorthodox method to exit its bond buying program. That could be even more accurate now. On Monday, four days after Bernanke announced the Fed would put off winding down the program -- the so-called taper -- New York Fed president William Dudley said the U.S. central bank was testing so-called reverse repos as one method to eventually increase interest rates.
In reverse repos, the Fed drains money from the economy by having banks, money market funds, and others give it money overnight for a fee. It's kind of like a loan, but not quite. The Fed gives banks Treasury bonds as collateral. The rate on the repo effectively sets short-term interest rates, because why would anyone make a loan for less when the Fed is willing to pay risk-free?
That's not how the Fed typically raises interest rates. Historically, it has sold Treasury bonds to drive up rates. But that may no longer work because the U.S. central bank now has over $3.5 trillion in Treasury and mortgage bonds. It would take much more selling than usual to move the market. What's more, to calm market fears about its bond buying program, Bernanke essentially pledged that the U.S. central bank would never actually sell the bonds.
MORE: 3 reasons to save the 30-year fixed mortgage
Dudley stressed it was just a test. But the longer the Fed's bond buying goes on, the more likely the Fed will eventually have to deploy reverse repos or something like it.
The reverse repo plan comes at a time when a number of Fed governors have talked about the need to rein in the repo market and other areas of the shadow banking system. Repos are generally considered part of the shadow banking system because the loans are so short that they generally don't get recorded in overall leverage measures of the banking system. What's more, a lot of repos are made by money market funds, which are technically not banks. Just last week, Fed governor Daniel Tarullo said regulators should focus on cracking down on short-term funding markets.
"It's ironic that they would do this at a time when a number of people in the Fed had said they are worried about repos," says Burt Ely, a bank consultant.
Tarullo, however, is chiefly worried about banks using the repo market to get short-term loans to fund longer-term riskier assets. Many believe the use of short-term funding made the financial crisis worse.
Initially, the Fed's plan wouldn't do that. Banks, along with money market funds, would be making loans to the Fed. But the Fed's program is bound to draw a lot of money to the repo market. And that money is unlikely to leave after the Fed program is over, at least not immediately. The next likely user of those short-term funds: banks.
MORE: Health apps don't save people, people do
Another concern is that the Fed's use of the repo market might crowd out General Electric (GE) and other large companies that rely on money market funds for borrowing. Big corporations might have to pay a higher interest rate for their short-term loans to compete with the Fed. That, of course, is the point. The Fed is trying to raise interest rates. But with the Fed borrowing so much, borrowing rates for big companies could shoot up more than expected. The result is a market that's jumping from one artificial correction to another.
"The Fed is jumping into the repo market to fix problems that were caused by quantitative easing. What you get is more and more markets where prices are not being set by investors but by the Fed. We are losing the market's normal price discovery system," says market strategist James Bianco. "Fed officials will say these concerns are misplaced, but they always say that."
Of course, the fact that the Fed put off tapering means that it will be longer until the Fed actually raises interest rates. So there is nothing to worry about, yet. But the longer Fed waits before calling off its stimulus efforts, the more likely it is that we will have to worry about it someday.

LONG BEACH ISLAND, N.J. - October 31, 2012 (WPVI) -- Long Beach Island took a serious hit from Hurricane Sandy.
One resident describes it as a war zone.
"War zone, a war zone," said Geri Lutz. "It's going to take years to get this back in shape again."
The power of the ocean ripped through beachfront homes, destroying some and knocking others off their foundations.
"The whole bottom of the house is out. The decks are gone. The house across the street came right off the pilings and there's no foundation, no nothing," said one resident who wanted to be identified as Steve.
"It always looked beautiful, I mean wow. Now it looks like these homes are not livable anymore," said Geri.
There is no power, no water, no sewer or gas. In fact some parts of the island reek from the smell of gas escaping from snapped lines.
Long Beach Boulevard is still flooded from the high tide, damaging several businesses.
It is too early to tell the cost estimates of damage, but the mayor says number will be mind boggling.
"On LBI, we have $5.5 billion dollars in tax-rateable on the island. Probably five to ten percent of that value is gone," said Mayor Joseph Mancini.
Stafford Township across from Long Beach Island is also devastated. The causeway along Route 72 is littered with boats and that's not all.
"I have actually seen motorcycles washed out to the middle of the street, sheds, boats are all over the place; they are in trees. There's just so much damage, it's hard to describe," said Stafford Township Mayor John Spadaforo.
Officials say because of conditions there no one should expect to get back on Long Beach Island before Saturday.
In the aftermath of Sandy, the mayor of Ocean City, New Jersey said it is not safe to be on the island community.
Because of the dangers still present, Mayor Jay Gillian announced that no one would be let into Ocean City on Tuesday.He went on to say officials were very early in the process of evaluating the damage, and it will take time to go through the eight-mile island.
Heavy winds knocked down power lines, uprooted trees and destroyed the steps that led to the beach. Sandy ripped apart several of the dunes meant to protect Ocean City's north end beaches.
During a news conference on Tuesday afternoon, Mayor Gillian said "We're going to be dealing with this for many days to come."
He noted that there are wires down throughout the city. There is also widespread flooding which is filled with debris and other hazardous items.
He then listed the major damage from the storm, which included major beach erosion, high water in homes, structural damage, lost bulkheads and docks, water damage to the firehouses and no power at the high school.
Gillian also said the business district was "devastated" and owners are going to need "a lot of help."
Gillian says there were gas leaks when several homes shifted off their foundations.
Fortunately, no one was injured.
There is no school on Wednesday in Ocean City, and trick-or-treating is postponed.
Areas prone to flooding, like 5th and West, were still underwater on Tuesday.
The main thoroughfare of Ocean Drive, which takes drivers from Ocean City to the Longport Causeway, is covered in debris and was impassable.
On Asbury Avenue, long-time shops and business saw flood waters rise high. The mud lines left behind could still be seen.
The employees of the 7th Street Surf Shop, who remained on the island, returned on Tuesday morning to a mess inside.
"I was kind of freaking because it meant the surfboards were floating," said Jamie Dimagiao. "The owner of the building was trying to calm me down, but I still think it's kind of a big deal."
Police are discouraging people from being on the boardwalk, saying it is not safe to be up there.

Could You Pass the Federal Reserve's Stress Test?
Consumers aren't required to plan for the worst. Maybe they should be.
What if it happened again?
That's basically the question the Federal Reserve has asked the nation's 19 biggest banks, by forcing them to undergo "stress tests" to gauge what would happen in a crisis. This has become a regular aspect of the Fed's bank regulation, meant to forestall another fiasco like the 2008 financial meltdown. Back then, big banks like Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, and Bank of America turned out to be way more vulnerable to a shock than anybody imagined, leading to massive bailouts that deeply tarnished the whole banking sector.
[Photo Gallery: Obama on the Assembly Line.]
These days, the banks are in better shape. The Fed found that 15 of the top 19 financial institutions would have enough money on hand in a deep crisis to remain solvent and keep lending. The other four--Citibank, Ally, SunTrust, and MetLife--fell short of the Fed's requirements, but can probably meet them in the future by adjusting their business plans.
Overall, such stress tests enhance confidence in the banks, since analysts deem the tests sufficiently tough and banks would be unlikely to disclose such vulnerabilities on their own. Getting a clean bill of health from the Fed even tends to boost the banks' stock prices and allow some of them to pay or raise dividends on their stock, making them more appealing to investors.
There's no such test for consumers, of course. But maybe there should be. The deep downturn in 2008 and 2009 revealed that many Americans were living far beyond their means, with homes they couldn't afford and record levels of debt. Savings had fallen far below historic norms, leaving many without a meaningful rainy-day fund. We're still dealing with the consequences: tons of foreclosures, loan defaults, and personal bankruptcies that are still holding back the overall economy.
So if you'd like to stress-test your own finances, here are some of the key parameters the Fed is forcing the banks to prepare for:
Plunging GDP. The Fed's tests require the banks to simulate their financial situation given a deep deterioration in the economy, starting with four quarters of negative growth. That's similar to the contraction that occurred in 2008 and 2009. The Fed doesn't spell this out, but if there were a true double-dip of this magnitude, Washington's skyrocketing debt would make it far harder for Congress to pass stimulus spending, extended unemployment insurance, tax relief, and many other measures that kept the last recession from being worse.
[See why new bank fees are here to stay.]
The Fed emphasizes throughout its stress-test report that such a dire scenario isn't a forecast, but merely a hypothetical exercise. (The Fed's actual economic forecasts call for modest growth, with an outlook that's slightly improving.) But the depth of the problems that the Fed told the banks to prepare for indicates how much worse the second half of a double-dip recession might be.
Skyrocketing unemployment. In the Fed's scenario, the unemployment rate peaks at 13.1 percent and stays above 10 percent for more than three years. That's significantly worse than the last recession, in which unemployment peaked at 10 percent and stayed there for just one month. If unemployment were to hit 13.1 percent today, that would mean close to 20 million people out of work, rather than the 13 million who are now looking for jobs.
That would lead to far more bloodletting at big companies that have already cut to the bone, and the failure of thousands of additional small businesses. Job cuts would decimate sectors familiar with pain—such as construction and manufacturing—while also hitting areas that have been fairly well-protected up till now, such as technology. Pay cuts would probably become common, with raises scarce. Hardly anybody would feel their job is safe.
[See how to cash in on the economic recovery.]
Deflation. The Fed wants to know how the economy would fare with four quarters of modest declines in the consumer-price index, which is far more pernicious than it sounds. When prices fall, consumers put off many purchases indefinitely, because they don't want to buy today if the price will be lower tomorrow (with Apple products being a notable rare exception). That further harms businesses that are already hurting, and makes layoffs worse. Deflation also makes debt such as mortgages and credit-card balances more expensive over time, since money earned in the future has less real value relative to debt taken out in the past. That upends the entire calculus of borrowing and gunks up the usual gears that drive the economy.
We came close to deflation during the last recession, but that turned out to be one problem we didn't have to deal with. If we did, many things would probably be much worse today.
[See why $4 gas will hurt less this time.]
A far deeper housing bust. Home prices have already fallen by more than 30 percent since they peaked in 2006. In the Fed's scenario, they fall another 21 percent from where they are now, for a total peak-to-trough decline of 46 percent. That would mean several more trillion dollars of lost household wealth and consumers even more depressed than they were at the lowest moments of the last recession. Foreclosures would surge again to new records, and homelessness among formerly working people could become a major national problem.
New lows in the stock market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average falls to 5,668 in Operation Gloom and Doom, which is 13 percent lower than the market bottom in 2009. That would further wreck retirement portfolios and household wealth, while scaring all but the most stalwart investors away from the market.
[See 6 things that could derail the economic rally.]
Nowhere to hide. Another deep U.S. recession would bring much of the world down with it. In the Fed's stress test, Europe endures a recession nearly as bad as America's, and growth in developing nations such as China and India is cut in half. If that were to happen, investors would struggle to earn a positive return anywhere, and probably park much of their money in cash accounts or treasury securities, constricting the lifeblood of a free-market economy.
All of this probably won't happen, needless to say. And many people living on limited cash flow, with minimal savings, couldn't prepare for such grim developments even if they knew they were coming. Still, disaster planning is something most Americans could get better at. As we ought to have learned, every now and then the unthinkable actually occurs.

Phares gathers info from boardAugust 13, 2013West Virginia State Superintendent of Schools Dr. James Phares visited Monday's Barbour County Board of Education meeting to gather input and questions to take back to Charleston.... TruthSeekerThe Manchins knew what they were doing when they fired the previous Super and placed her with Phares. Joe Manchin is a backstabbing typical liberal who cannot be trusted. Fire him next election!!! 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » audyhazeFolks, it is my opin that Phares is the man (slick willy) that has left a trail of empty pocketbooks from every county he served in. He mobilized his troops by lathering them up with school closings and etc to notify students this. This false info caused the parents to go ballastic and pass the levys. All on your back!! Then he comes back again and again for more! The old poor people who own land on SS only is barely scraping by to meet ends. Doing without medicine and food and heat. The State of WV gets away with fleasing the taxpayer and citizens. That is why he is State Super of BOE! In my opinion those who put him there should be fired!! As well as him! 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 2 of 2 comments

One step closer to the royal magic hour! After about a week away in the comfort of the Middleton family home in the English countryside, pregnant Duchess Kate -- plus husband Prince William -- abruptly departed Bucklebury with police escorts around 3 p.m. local time Friday, Us Weekly can confirm. The expectant royal couple are bound for London, and all royal protection officers have since departed the Bucklebury area.
PHOTOS: Kate's baby bump -- which look is your fave?
Whether the duchess, 31, is immediately headed for St. Mary's Hospital to give birth in the Lindo Wing-- or simply back home to Kensington Palace -- remains to be seen. Says a Palace rep, "We wouldn't comment on the exact whereabouts of the Duke and Duchess -- we wouldn't normally do so in their private time."
PHOTOS: Royal family baby photos
Earlier on Friday, a royal source told Us that Duchess Kate's due date has "passed." The prince, 31, has not yet begun his paternity leave, but is simply taking time off to await the birth of his first child. "We're all on the edge of our seats for news," a Royal Air Force source admitted. "I thought the baby would be born by now!"

BlazerDancer Kelly
is ready to rock the Rose Garden for a third season!
A life-long performer, Kelly started dancing at the age of four. By the time she was nine she was studying ballet, tap and jazz at the Claudette Walker School of Dance and traveling the world.
"When I was dancing for Claudette we got the opportunity to travel all around. There were competitions all over the US all the time, but we also got to travel to Greece," Kelly said. "We danced in Athens then got on a cruise ship and sailed to all the Greek islands and got to dance there. That has definitely been my favorite dancing moment and I feel so lucky that I was able to do that."
Kelly's training at Claudette prepared her to dance for the Mountain View High School Dance Team in Vancouver, Washington and then the Bellingham Slam while she attended Western Washington University and majored in communications.
Kelly spent her first year back in the Portland area dancing for the Winterhawks Rosebuds and in 2010 joined the BlazerDancers. Her first night performing as a BlazerDancer stands out as the most remarkable in her time at the Rose Garden.
"Opening night my first season, I think that will always be," Kelly said. "For the first time, I mean there's preseason, yes, but finally when everything was started and opening night came it was like 'Wow, this is real. I actually made it this year!' The feelings I got were exciting, overwhelming, I can't even describe it.
"Going to playoffs two years ago was really fun too," she said. "To see the difference in the crowd from regular season to playoffs, it's so much more intense. The feel in he arena is something you can't really describe unless you're there."
Kelly's had a busy summer so far as a veteran BlazerDancer. She represented her squad with
BlazerDancer Leisel
at the ProAction dance camp.
"I got the opportunity to go to ProAction this year. They get two to four girls from each team who come and learn a lot of awesome routines to bring back and teach the rest of our teammates for the rest of the season," Kelly said. "It was awesome to meet so many other girls from other teams, from the Celtics, from the Indiana Paces, the 76ers and the New England Patriots. All these girls are in the same boat as me, so it was pretty awesome to meet those girls."
She also spent a whirlwind weekend in Estonia where she traveled with BlazerDancers
, JennaLea, Kimberly,
and Eri to perform at the NBA-Sprite Streetball Tournament in Talinn.
"We danced for the opening ceremony, closing ceremony and everything in between. We also brought a ton of Blazers gear with us for the fans, t-shirts, key chains, logo bangers, etc. and the people loved it!" Kelly said. "The people of Estonia were great to us and the fans loved seeing a dance team from the NBA. We were the first dance team from the NBA to head to Estonia so it was a very special experience for us as well. And so amazing to represent your team in a different part of the world."
Welcome back Kelly!

25th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
ESSLLI 2013 August 5-16, 2013 Duesseldorf, Germany http://esslli2013.de/ The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI) has been organized by the Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI) in different sites around Europe since 1989. The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics, logic and computation. Important Dates 15 June 2012: Proposal submission deadline 15 September 2012: Notification 1 June 2013: Course material due Topics and Format Proposals for courses and workshops at ESSLLI'2013 are invited in all areas of Logic, Linguistics and Computing and Information Sciences. Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are particularly encouraged. Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions, offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week. Proposals for two- week courses should be structured and submitted as two independent one-week courses, e.g. as an introductory course followed by an advanced one. In such cases the ESSLLI programme committee reserves the right to accept just one of the two proposals. All instructional and organizational work at ESSLLI is performed completely on a voluntary basis, so as to keep participation fees to a minimum. However, organizers and instructors have their registration fees waved, and are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses up to a level to be determined and communicated with the proposal notification. ESSLLI can only guarantee reimbursement for at most one course/workshop organizer, and can not guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs for lecturers or organizers from outside of Europe. The ESSLLI organizers would appreciate any help in controlling the School's expenses by seeking complete coverage of travel and accommodation expenses from other sources. Categories Each proposal should fall under one of the following categories. Fundamental Courses Such courses are designed to present the basics of a research area, to people with no prior knowledge in that area. They should be of elementary level, without prerequisites in the course's topic, though possibly assuming a level of general scientific maturity in the relevant discipline. They should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop a level of comfort with the fundamental concepts and techniques of the course's topic, thereby contributing to the interdisciplinary nature of our research community. Introductory Courses Introductory courses are central to ESSLLI's mission. They are intended to introduce a research field to students, young researchers, and other non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its basic methods and techniques. Such courses should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop some comfort and competence in the topic considered. Introductory courses in a cross- disciplinary area may presuppose general knowledge of the related disciplines. Advanced Courses Advanced courses are targeted primarily to graduate students who wish to acquire a level of comfort and understanding in the current research of a field. Workshops Workshops focus on specialised, usually topics of current interest. Workshops organisers are responsible for solliciting papers and selecting the workshop programme. Proposal Guidelines Course and workshop proposals should follow closely the following guidelines to ensure full consideration. Each course may have no more than two instructors, and each workshop no more than two organizers. All instructors and organizers must possess a PhD or equivalent degree by the submission deadline. Course proposals should mention explicitly the intended course category. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the intended level, for example as it relates to standard textbooks and monographs in the area. Proposals for advanced courses should specify the prerequisites in detail. Proposals must be submitted in PDF format via: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esslli2013 and include all of the following: - Personal information for each proposer: Name, affiliation, contact address, email, fax, homepage (optional) - General proposal information: Title, category - Contents information * Abstract of up to 150 words * Motivation and description (up to two pages) * Tentative outline * Expected level and pre-requisites * Appropriate references (e.g. textbooks, monographs, proceedings, surveys) - Practical information: * Relevant preceding meetings and events, if applicable * Potential external funding for participants |

About Tallgrass Film Association
Tallgrass Film Association fosters an appreciation of the cinematic arts by creating shared experiences around the international medium of film.
TFA, a 501(c)(3) arts organization, was founded in 2003 by Timothy Gruver, a Wichita native who studied filmmaking at Brigham Young University (often sneaking into Sundance Film Festival parties in Park City to mingle with the stars) before moving to Los Angeles for his first job with Dreamworks Animation, followed by Outfest and the Los Angeles Film Festival.
Tim returned to Wichita in 2002 to found Tallgrass Film Association (known originally as the Wichita Association for Motion Picture Arts.) Tim believed Wichita could be the next Telluride — obvious geographical issues aside — and created the city's first annual Tallgrass Film Festival, held in October of 2003. Tim amassed a dedicated board of directors and staff, many of whom remain with the organization today, and North America's most Stubbornly Independent film festival was born.
Tragically, Tim passed away suddenly at the age of 33, just prior the third festival. The board, staff and community united, determined that the show must go on. The group produced Shortgrass, a 24-hour celebration of his vision.
Since then, the festival has expanded to a 5-day format and has become a hallmark of Wichita's fall event calendar. 12,000 people attended the 11th annual festival, which screened over 180 films from 32 countries around the world. TFA emphasizes community partnerships and in 2013 collaborated with the Wichita Art Museum, Botanica, Ulrich Museum of Art, Exploration Place, Sedgwick County Historical Museum, Orpheum Theatre, CityArts and Wichita Symphony Orchestra to name just a few, as well as tens of other non-profit organizations throughout the region.
Tallgrass Film Association's activities have expanded to also host year-round screenings and events, as well as educational workshops, and a traveling road show.
In 2013, more than 15,000 people enjoyed Tallgrass Film Association events.

I wake up 35 weeks into my pregnancy with a very sharp pain in myPosted On Thursday, July 11, 2002 by Amy |
I wake up 35 weeks into my pregnancy with a very sharp pain in my upper chest on the right hand side. It is late Sunday night and by Monday morning - I feel no better, so I call in sick to work and then call my OB. In my small city, our OB's do not work on Monday's - there was one on call - however I don't really think I am an emergency situation. I really just think I have bbad heartburn. I decide to call my GP. He sees me right away and suspects that it is my gallbladder, so he sends me for an Ultrasound. Tuesday, I feel no better so I call in sick to work again. My GP calls late in the day to tell me the Ultrasound looks good. He suggests I quit work. He also mentions that if I'm not feeling any better by the end of the week to call the OB or go to emerg. Early Friday morning I wake up, get out of bed because I am uncomfortable. I am now experiencing shoulder pain AND chest pain. I think nothing of it and rub some A535 into my shoulder and return to bed. The smell wakes my husband up. He is concerned that I am having chest and shoulder pain. He thinks heart attack. He wants me to go to emerg. 2 hours later, I agree reluctantly. It is now 3:30 am. The Dr is emerg is awesome. My husband knows him and he tells my husband that he won't let us leave until he finds out what is wrong. I have a ECG and they take oodles of blood from everwhere. 7:30am, they decide to hook me up to a fetal monitor, so a nurse from the maternity ward comes down. I am contracting (Braxton Hicks) she thinks I won't make it until my due date. As of today I am 36 weeks pregnant. To make a long story short at this point, I had tested positive for a clot on my lung. The Dr of internal medicine is on his way in, and I am to be admitted. They decide at this point to seek on OB's help. Outside my room, the OB, Dr of internal med, the emerg DR and maternity nurse meet. They decide to check my platet level. 20 minutes later it is discoved - I have HELLP. They tell me the baby will be delived today - this afternoon. My platet level was 35. 1/2 and hour later, I am on the Maternity floor. They decide to check my platet level again - it is now at 24. It is dropping rapidly. All hell breaks loose. 20 minutes later, they hand my husband our 6 lb, 6 oz beautiful healthy baby boy. He is born emerg C section. It takes me 3 days before I feel a little better. I did not want a transfusion - but would NOT have declined one. I am one of the lucky ones. Ty is healthy - although we have had our share of hurdles, and I am alive. |
After surviving a very traumatic first pregnancy with a nightmare delivery (30 hours of magnesium-induced hell, ending in an emergency c-section) and even more debilitating recovery, one would think I was DONE having children. Let's be ...

Cyclists bare all for World Naked Bike Ride
8:20am Monday 6th June 2011 in News
SCORES of people stripped off to take part in the World Naked Bike Ride in York.
The bike ride is held in cities around the world and was picked up in York in 2006 as a protest against oil dependency and car culture.
Riders gathered at the Millennium Bridge before setting off on the 90-minute course taking in Ouse Bridge, Coney Street, Clifford's Tower, Micklegate, the Mount and Knavesmire.
John Cossham, a regular participant in the event, said: "If we just had an annual bike ride, wearing normal clothing, we would get minimal publicity for the issues... anthropogenic climate change, peak oil, pollution, dangerous roads, the genius simplicity of the bicycle.
"Riding naked is fun, feels nice and free, and draws attention to these important subjects, encouraging debate."
John said he hoped it would also lead to society's attitudes changing.
Nudity was not essential, and anyone was welcome to join the ride, which bears the motto As Bare As You Dare.
Baring a message
SATURDAY'S naked bike ride sent as strong a message as the poverty report, but in a fun way.
It was the sixth running of the event, and riders set off from Millennium Bridge to raise awareness of cycling and encourage people to choose more environmentally friendly modes of transport.
As ever, cyclists daubed themselves with logos or showed only a certain amount of flesh.
Others, though, were happy to express their barefaced cheek.
Let's hope they remembered their factor 15.
