The Goshen News
The West Noble High School theater troupe, Theatre33, has been working on the winter musical "Aida" by Elton John and Tim Rice.
"Aida" is set to be performed Jan. 18 and 19 at 7 p.m. as well as Jan. 20 at 2 p.m. This contemporary-rock musical is based on an opera and children's story. Tickets are $6 for adults and student tickets are $5.
As the show opens, a statue of Amneris, a female Pharaoh, comes to life and "transports" the audience to ancient Egypt, where viewers find a variety of character struggling with expectations and obligations, with dreams and fears, with passion and greed, as well as loyalty and love.
Radames, played by senior River Denman, longs for adventure and conquest. However, his father, Noser, played by junior Skylar Denman, has other plans. Noser has an elaborate scheme to marry his son, Radames, to Amneris, played by sophomore Amber Wilkins. Amnernis' father, the Pharaoh, played by senior Nelson Luehrs, has mysteriously fallen ill.
It is a race against time to get Radames married to the princess before her father dies, before Radames falls in love with Aida and before Noser's plan is discovered.
"Aida" is based on Giuseppe Verdi's Italian opera which was based on a story written by Auguste Mariette. The musical originated from a children's storybook version of Verdi's opera written by the soprano Leontyne Price.
"Aida" was nominated for five Tony Awards and won four in 2000, including Best Musical Score and Best Performance by a Leading Actress. "Aida" was also named by Time Magazine in 2000 as one of the top 10 theater productions of the year.
Cliff Schwartz and Amy Dreibelbis are the directors, joined by new music director and dance coordinator Megan Murphy.

Leeds Rhinos name strongest line-up to face Bradford Bulls
5:50pm Wednesday 16th January 2013 in Bulls
Leeds Rhinos have named their strongest possible side for Danny McGuire's Testimonial game against Bradford Bulls on Sunday.
Their line-up includes all seven of the Rhinos' England internationals, including national captain Kevin Sinfield, while new signings Joe Vickey and Joel Moon are also included in the starting line-up, with Mitch Achurch set to make an appearance off the bench.
Rhinos' head coach Brian McDermott believes that McGuire deserves a big turn out for his testimonial clash after over ten years outstanding service for the club.
He said: "There have been a few well-deserved testimonials at Leeds because there has been a conveyor belt of long-serving players, and there is a danger that people get used to testimonials and pay lip service to them.
"But if anyone deserves a testimonial, it is Danny McGuire because he has not just lit up Leeds Rhinos but Super League as a whole for the last ten years.
"He is the leading try-scorer of all time in Super League, which is a hell of achievement in itself when you consider that he is only just 30 and has a good few years ahead of him.
"To get a testimonial is a great milestone but to have done it in the style that Magsy has, winning big games for the Rhinos and scoring sensational tries, is fantastic."
McDermott is in the perfect position to judge the threat that McGuire poses having coached him and played against him.
Such is the reputation of the Leeds stand-off that his current coach says teams can over-compensate, which presents chances for his team-mates.
He added: "I once heard someone refer to Mike Tyson as 'a great', and the legendary boxing journalist Bert Sugar countered them and said he wasn't a great because he had not maintained his dominance at the top for a long enough period.
"Last season plenty of people were saying that Sam Tomkins is going to be a great of our game. Well as good a prospect as Sam is, if he is still doing that in six or seven years' time then he will be regarded as someone who has shown the class that Danny has done.
"As a coach preparing a team to face Danny McGuire, you can be guilty of concentrating too much on Danny, as teams are with Sam Tomkins now, because of the threat he poses. which allows other people to play well.
"Every single week that Danny McGuire plays, every team wants to take him out because he has such an influence on his team and the scoreline.
"Every single week, Danny has to be on his guard because defences are coming for him, and yet over the course of ten years he is still a massive influence on the game.
"He is not someone who goes under the radar - he is massively on everyone's radar and still he produces the goods, which I think is remarkable."
Fans can pay on the day on Sunday with adult ground entry priced at £15 and seats for £20.
Concessions are £10 and £15, with under-16s £5 for both ground entry and seats.
Tickets can be purchased by calling 0871- 423- 1315 or online at www.therhinos.co.uk/buytickets. Kick-off is at 3pm.
Leeds team: 1 Zak Hardaker, 25 Joe Vickery, 3 Kallum Watkins, 4 Joel Moon, 5 Ryan Hall, 6 Danny McGuire, 13 Kevin Sinfield, 17 Ian Kirke, 7 Rob Burrow, 10 Jamie Peacock, 11 Jamie Jones-Buchanan, 15 Brett Delaney, 12 Carl Ablett. Interchange: 9 Paul McShane, 16 Ryan Bailey, 19 Mitch Achurch, 18 Chris Clarkson, 20 Darrell Griffin.

Even after helping with the bail out ?Now that is sad.
It will be a useful exercise for both teams. The article forgot to mention that the Players around D Mc G. make him exceptional (as per BMcDs words) for my money he is more ordinary without Rob Burrows or Kevin Sinfield.
But nevertheless a good Player who deserves accolades for 10 years at one club.

Nice insults keep them up.

No insult intended because it seems to be a majority decision amongst knowledgeable supporters of the Bulls.
And I would never dream of calling a Player of that calibre rubbish.
Those are your words?

The biggest fear of getting a new tattoo, whether this is your first tattoo or your twenty-second, is infection. In the world of body modification the most common ways to contract infections are contaminated instruments and needles, unsanitary tattooing conditions, or improper aftercare.
A common myth about cross contamination and infection is that you can contract HIV while being tattooed. According to the Center for Disease Control, there has NEVER been any recorded or known instances of HIV transmission via tattoos or body piercings(1). HIV is a very fragile virus and it cannot survive long outside of the human body. Unlike syringes, tattoo needles have a solid core, so no blood or contaminants get inside of the needle. When you are tattooed or pierced it is only YOUR skin that is being worked on and only YOUR blood that is being exposed(2), so it is only your blood or bodily fluids you are being exposed to. You are only at risk of infection if you are in contact with blood or bodily fluids from an HIV infected individual. As long as the tattoo parlor or studio is reputable for its sanitation practices and used single use needles and tubes, you are in very little danger of contracting anything at all.
The two most common types of tattoo infections are caused by Staphylococci. As stated before, a viral infection is extremely unlikely, but a severe bacterial infection is a much more likely result of an unsanitary environment or unclean tools(3).
MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is the first type of Staphylococci infection and is located on the actual surface of the skin where the tattoo was placed. This infection is more readily noticed and can be taken care of quickly.
MRSA has a greater likelihood of contraction compared to any other virus or blood born pathogen. There are many ways to contract MRSA, but in the body modification world the most common way is from tool to client. Again, as long as you are in a sterile tattoo parlor with an artist that follows the Universal Precautions guidelines and CDC codes then you have successfully eliminated the exposure to infectious bacteria almost entirely(4). Prolonged infection on the skin's surface can cause granulomas and create the likelihood of increased scarring buildup called keloids.
Cellulitis is the second kind of Staphylococci infection, which can be more serious and may take a longer amount of time to really notice. It involves an infection within the skin and under the tattoo. Below the skin infections cause intense pain and can eventually, if not taken care of by a medical professional immediately, seep into your lymph nodes, blood stream, bones and joints. When your tattoo is healing and sealing up with a new layer of skin pay very close attention. If the area begins to heal and there is still a large amount of pain and swelling you may be actually locking an infection into your body. This can cause gangrene, full body infection, abscessing, or even Necrotizing Fasciitis, commonly called by the media "flesh-eating bacteria"(5).
The signs of a tattoo infection are mostly noticeable within the first day or even the first few hours. An infection usually begins with redness, slight to extreme tenderness, and swelling. With tattoos that begin to advance in stages of infection there will be red lines or splotches going up and down that area of the body. This tells you that the infection is beginning to travel through your bloodstream, which will eventually reach your heart if not taken care of properly. The infected area will be hot to the touch and will most likely be oozing large amounts of plasma in the form of a murky yellow liquid. The area will then begin to puss a nasty brown, green, or red color with the onset of fever and enlarged lymph nodes.
If you are prone to sensitive and easily irritated skin, have had a previous health issue with your auto immune system, or have diabetes you surely want to consult your doctor or medical health care professional prior to getting a tattoo(6). Your likelihood of infection is much greater if any of these issues pertain to you. If you already have an existing virus or diseases, you should advise your artist. Not only are you at extreme risk for infection but you are also putting the artist's health in danger.
It is crucial to know that the studio and artists are following correct and proper sanitation practices throughout the entire tattooing process. This includes rendering sterile needles and clean instruments along with using and autoclave. Each new customer should receive separately packaged and sterilized products for use on the tattoo. To ensure your safety, ask to view the autoclave and also watch the artist extract all of the sterilized needles and tubes as he/she set up their station prior to tattooing you(7). Understand that any instrument that touches the skin will surely come into contact with plasma and blood.
Now that you have verified or researched that your studio is sterile, it is up to you to follow the necessary aftercare instructions and procedures. Aftercare is just as important as ensuring you are in a clean environment. Be sure to check out "H2Ocean Tattoo Aftercare Tips & Protocol" for the proper aftercare tips and instructions.
Some other reasons for tattoo complications and/or infection are as follows:
Allergic reactions- Red dyes used in tattoo inks have the highest risk for creating skin irritation. You may not have a reaction for years, or you may react immediately. Red dye reactions may come in the form of raised bumpy areas on the tattoo where the pigment was placed, an itchy rash on or around the tattoo, or even large amounts of continuous scarring over the area pigment was used on the skin.
Possible MRI Interference- In very rare cases those whom undergo a magnetic resonance imaging exam (MRI) may experience swelling or a stinging sensation during or after the MRI. Some ink brands include small amounts of metal fragments as an ingredient in their inks as a color additive which can interfere with the image quality of that procedure.

Each semester, 18 full-time student volunteers live in the Sackroom. In exchange for their housing, they work three to four evening duty shifts per week. While they can ride as many calls as they like, their duty shift is the only required riding time. Each student volunteer makes several hundred responses per semester. They serve in all capacities including firefighter, EMT, ambulance driver, engine driver, truck driver, line officer and staff officer. Those considering college as a part of their future should look into the CPVFD Sackroom program at www.CPVFD.org.
Our sincere appreciation to acting Prince George's County Fire Chief Marc Bashoor, acting Emergency Operations Commander Lieutenant Colonel Jerry Lamoria, Northern Division Commander Major Steven Hess, Chief Spokesperson Mark Brady, CPVFD Chief William Corrigan (Chief 812), Deputy Chief Ari Schloss (Chief 812-A), Assistant Chief Brandon Frieder (Chief 812-B), Sergeant David Stacy and the firefighters and EMTs of the CPVFD for their assistance and cooperation with this close call. Additionally, our thanks go out to the firefighters from Prince George's County Engine 811/Branchville Volunteer Fire Department, Engine 807/Riverdale Volunteer Fire Department, Engine 813/Riverdale Heights Volunteer Fire Department, Truck 814/Berwyn Heights Volunteer Fire Department, Truck and Engine 801/Hyattsville Volunteer Fire Department, Rescue Squad 814/Berwyn Heights, Truck 834/Chillum-Aldelphi and Medic 812/College Park/PGFD career fire/paramedics. Additionally, thanks to Battalion Chief 806 (Matt Tomlins, Chief 841A of the Beltsville Volunteer Fire Department/Calverton), Safety Officer 801 (Gary Steen, Chief 819A of the Bowie Volunteer Fire Department) and EMS 801 (Captain Mary Crampton, PGFD Paramedic EMS supervisor).
The following account is by CPVFD Chief William Corrigan, the incident commander at this fire:
As a significant snowstorm impacted the DC metro area, companies had been incredibly busy throughout the evening of Jan. 26 into Jan. 27, averaging over 40 runs per station in a 12-hour period. Several companies, including the first- and second-due engines and first-due truck for this incident, had also responded on another working house fire in the area a few hours earlier. Power was out in the entire region and although main roads had been plowed, most side roads were still snow covered.
At 5:34 A.M., the full box alarm consisting of four engine companies, two truck companies and a heavy rescue company was dispatched to 5008 Pierce Ave. in Station 812's first-due area (College Park) reporting a basement fire. Throughout the night, with the implementation of the snow emergency plan, most assignments were downgraded to a two-engine/two-truck response unless the dispatchers suspected a working incident based on caller information. The full box alarm was the first heads-up that this would be a working fire. The neighborhood itself was also a heads-up that this was most likely a working incident. The Lakeland community directly behind the station is a tightly knit residential community that is very quiet from a fire-EMS perspective. Fire calls are quite rare and usually are working incidents.
I arrived on scene first at 5:37. The house was a 1½-story with a basement, Type III single family, built around the World War II timeframe. As I turned the corner onto Pierce Avenue, heavy fire was visible venting from the first floor on sides Alpha and Bravo. As I passed the house to position on side Delta, fire was also visible from the basement windows on sides Bravo and Delta. It was very obvious there was a well-advanced basement fire with a significant amount of extension to the first floor. I was met by a citizen advising me that everyone had already safely evacuated the residence prior to our arrival, after being awakened by a working smoke alarm.
Due to the weather, all of the chief officers from College Park were riding together and all coming from the station, which is unusual. It is very rare for three command officers to arrive simultaneously, especially ahead of the first-arriving engine company. I established command, relaying conditions found to incoming units and our communications. Deputy Chief Ari Schloss was assigned to side Charlie and immediately ran back there to give me a size-up from the rear, which was the only area I had not yet seen. My deputy reported the location of the exterior basement entrance and reported fire showing from the basement in the rear as well.

After North Dakota joined the Big Sky Conference most assumed their border rival South Dakota would follow, however the Coyotes have declined the Big Sky's invitation. Like SDST and NDST, South Dakota will join the Missouri Valley Football Conference and elect to stay in the Summit League in all other sports. This move leaves the Big Sky with 11 all-sport members and 13 football members. The Summit League will remain stable with its 9 members, while the MVC will now be at 10. North Dakota may have a case of buyer's remorse after signing on with the Big Sky, and could be looking into joining the other 3 Dakotas in Summit league/MVC to reduce their travel costs and maintain its rivalries. The WAC's expansion plan seems to have settled on just adding UTSA, Texas St, and (non football school) Denver in order to hold open another spot in case Montana decides to upgrade. The only school left out of of this expansion shuffle for now is Seattle University, a non-football school, who may be targeted to join the WCC with the new addition of BYU or they could be invited to join Big Sky Conference as a 12th member in an attempt to even out the basketball schedule.

Monthly Archives: July 2011
By By Alison | Published: July 14, 2011
I received a Google+ invite on June 29th 2011, aka Launch Day, or the day on which Google rather brilliantly used restricted supply to drive the release of their much buzzed about social media platform. Not only does the platform organize all social communications easily within Google, but it also builds a comprehensive personal and behavioral database that can be sold to anyone who wants it. (Note: Facebook is more or less doing the very same thing.) Much has been made of this battle of the behemoths, Google v. Facebook. (I'm sure we all recall the backfire when Facebook hired a PR firm to discredit Google on the basis of their privacy policies?) It's a war for ad dollars, people. Google is armed with search. Facebook with social. It's all very dramatic isn't it? ...A sort of neither-can-live-while-the-other-survives scenario. Facebook killed MySpace. MySpace killed Friendster. But Google v. Facebook is a different story. Both have billions of dollars, some of the top tech talent in the world, and established, overlapping audiences. So who will win? Well, we're now two weeks into Google+, and it appears like the service may be in for an uphill battle. Only twenty or so status updates have been posted from my circles, mostly from the same people. It's true that Google+ has the advantage of accounts centralization and the neat Circles feature, but Facebook has my habits, my friends and 403 of my photos over the past four years. Over the weekend, I thought on uploading a photo from my iPhone to Google+– just as I do with Facebook. Not just yet, it seems. Also, the do-it-all model makes some people uncomfortable because, frankly, that's a lot of trust to instill in Google. There is certainly a counter-argument for centralization, but there are advantages to using different brands and services. In a nutshell: can Google really do it all, and do it all really well? Still, I'm not placing any bets just yet. It's possible that Google will build a better product that will gain steam as the service expands. In fact, it's more than possible. Like many people, I'm already logged into the Google platform every day, both in the office and at home. For the time being though, Mark Zuckerberg seems to hold the cards– or at least all the friends.

Carbon Hill's defense started off strong, holding the Eagles to a three-and-out. On the ensuing drive, however, Daniel Woodard's pass was intercepted by Caleb Ellison at midfield and returned to the Bulldog 31-yard line. Six plays later, Nicholas Speer ran in from the one to put Cold Springs on the board. The failed 2-point conversion left the score at 6-0.
Carbon Hill's next drive didn't last long as Ryan Simerly fumbled the ball away on the his own 49-yard line. The Eagles would again turn the turnover into points as Logan Campbell ran for a 22 yard touchdown. He ran in the 2-point conversion to make the score 14-0.
Cold Springs' next drive started at its own 46-yard line. Two plays later, Vincent Stewart broke away for a 49-yard touchdown run, making the score 20-0.
A 44-yard kickoff return by Steven Mitchell and a 15 yard penalty against the Eagles set Carbon Hill up on the Eagle 23-yard line. Two plays later, Ryan Simerly ran in from 12 yards out to put the Bulldogs on the board, 20-7.
After forcing Cold Springs to punt, Stewart intercepted Woodard's pass and returned it 80 yards for another Eagle touchdown, building their lead 27-7.
The Bulldogs started their next drive in Eagle territory. Simerly set the Bulldogs up on the 20 after a 24 yard run. Five plays later, Mitchell put the 'Dawgs on the board again from one yard out making the half time score 27-14.
After trading possessions to start the half, Cold Springs marched down the field. However, Campbell fumbled the ball on the 19-yard line and the Bulldogs came out of the pile with it. Carbon Hill covered the length of the field in four plays, with Simerly scoring again on a 12-yard run. Woodard ran in the 2-point conversion, making it 27-22 with 11:27 left in the game.
Stewart and Campbell combined for 56 yards rushing on the next drive leading to another Eagle touchdown. The failed 2-point conversion made it an 11-point game with 8:29 left in the game. Carbon's Hill's next drive started with Woodard passing to his left to Steven Simerly for a loss. However Steven did not get up from the hit. After being worked on for several minutes, he was carried off the field. With 2:00 left in the game, Campbell ran in from 25 yards out to cap off the night's scoring, making the final score 40-22.
Carbon Hill finished the night with 9 penalties for 75 yards. Daniel Woodard went 6-for-13 passing for 29 yards and three interceptions. Ryan Simerly rushed for 189 yards, 2 touchdowns, and a lost fumble. Cold Springs' Logan Campbell ran for 152 yards and three touchdowns. Vincent Stewart ran for 120 yards and a touchdown.

Every working mother-to-be knows how challenging it can be to stay comfortable, professional and stylish at the office. By offering an impressively curated collection of Europan maternity brands and styles, Prelegant.com has risen to the top as the go-to site for elegant work wear. Here, Raphy Tolub - founder of Prelegant - tells us what inspired him to start the company, and shares with us some of his best advice for dressing well at work while baby's on board...
Jackie Rose: What is your background in fashion and style?
Raphy Tolub: I was always exposed to the latest up-and-coming trends and fashion designers growing up in France. As a young boy, I never really paid much attention to it, but as I matured I began to acquire an appreciation for the styles and silhouettes that surrounded me. While I knew I wouldn't thrive as a fashion designer in such an intensely competitive industry, I decided to pursue my passion for fashion behind the scenes - through business and marketing.
I graduated from Sy Syms School of Business in New York with a Bachelors degree in Finance and Marketing, and continued my education at ESSEC School of Business in Paris, France where I received a Masters in Marketing Management. Before starting Prelegant, I co-founded and designed at Flavio Creation, a company that produces women's shoes mainly distributed in Europe.
Now as the co-founder of Prelegant.com, I am constantly researching new trends and keeping an eye out for new European designers. I make it my duty to ensure that Prelegant.com carries only the best selection of professional and elegant maternity wear.
JR: What is the history and/or inspiration behind Prelegant?
RT: When my wife, Gila, attended the University of Chicago School of Business to get her MBA, she was already the mother of our two beautiful children, Liora, 7 and Yoni, 3. She naturally got very involved with young mothers and mothers-to-be who were trying to best juggle their professional and personal lives.
Mothers in Business School are a small but very impressive and supportive group. One major concern that these women quickly faced during recruitment season, was what to wear for interviews. On top of it all, maternity designs and selections were very limited and hard to come across on the web. I came to the realization that women needed a store dedicated to the working mom-to-be with stylish and elegant professional wear.
JR: What niche is it filling for pregnant working women?
RT: Nowadays we are seeing more women working while pregnant and working longer into their pregnancies as well. Not to mention, more and more women are having children at a later age when their careers are better established and the financial stakes are higher.
For those expectant working women who have a passion for fashion and a strong sense of style, Prelegant would be their go-to store, especially when personal shopping time is limited. Prelegant is a great option for any mother-to-be, however for those professional business women who have booming careers with little time to shop, Prelegant can offer them perfectly tailored business maternity wear that can be worn both in and out of the office for a more elegant, high-fashion look.
Another great bit about Prelegant.com is that the styles and brands we offer are all imported directly from Europe. Certain brands sold on our site have a very limited offering in the states, while some pieces are not even available for purchase in American markets for that matter. You will look stylish and professional, without bumping into anyone wearing the same outfit… no pun intended.
JR: What's the secret to a great business suit?
RT: Prelegant's secret to the perfect business suit is both shape and quality. You would be surprised how a perfectly tailored suit can give a pregnant women the perfect shape and flattering figure, even at the largest stage of pregnancy.
Elasticity is also important, but I've come across styles that are made with such an overwhelming amount that it often cheapens the look and the fit of the suit. Our suits are made with less elasticity, but still offer a comfortable stretch for plenty of movement and for long days of sitting at the office. Our suits are also made with a variety of different belly bands that naturally adjust to size depending on the stage of pregnancy.
JR: What do you find most challenging about styling pregnant women?
RT: It can be really difficult to feel glamorous, stylish and confident for women at any stage of pregnancy. Typically, the third trimester is the toughest, but regardless it is my job and the job of my site to fix this issue that so many pregnant women face in general whether they are working or not.
A beautiful and elegant outfit can do wonders for an expectant mother's self-confidence. Getting women to accept and embrace their changes by providing them with figure-flattering clothes that are comfortable and appropriate for work is our goal.
JR: Prelegant brings European brands to the North American market. How do European women and North American women differ in terms of their maternity style?
RT: European brands typically stick to current trends and fashion, by altering off the runway clothing to fit pregnant women. Some European women tend to embrace their bump more than some American women do, wearing more figure-conscious clothes.
In my opinion, American brands don't specialize as much in fit, rather they focus more on comfort. To be perfectly honest, women who appreciate high fashion may choose to compromise comfort in order to get a better fit.
JR: Do you have any tips on budget shopping... on what items should a pregnant woman choose to save, and where should she splurge?
RT: It's important to have one or two good quality trouser pants that can be mixed and matched with different tops, cardigans, jackets and shoes throughout the week. Save money on accessories and basics like shoes and tops that can be worn with a nice pair of pants to maintain a classy and elegant look. Bottoms such as suit trousers, denim, leggings and skirts are much tougher to purchase at a bargain and still achieve a high fashion look.
JR: What are some big maternity business-wear trends for this year?
RT: A great tip for pregnant women is the bigger the belly - the bigger the bag. Clothing that shows off the baby bump is in. Bold and bright colors for spring are what all the celebs are wearing. The color-blocking trend is translating beautifully to maternity wear, as well as polka dots and paisley prints. Straight, knee-length skirts are perfect for the working-while-expecting mom. Also, accessorizing with oversized necklaces, bags or jewellery (but not all at once.)
JR: Have you had a good response to Prelegant Maternity?
RT: I'm happy with the response Prelegant has received thus far, especially since we are still fairly new. I've found that while many women really love the concept of Prelegant, they are hesitant to make the purchase online. Prelegant guarantees a secure checkout with a friendly return policy, so I hope with time more women will get in the groove.
JR: What's coming up next?
RT: I plan on bringing in more European brands to the site, which will allow us to expand our product offering and carry a larger variety of accessories, hand bags, shoes and apparel, both casual and sophisticated. By venturing into more everyday wear and not just strictly business professional wear, I hope to expand our customer base and provide fashion-forward maternity wear for moms-to-be everywhere.

Elections have consequences..right ?
by Ravi Verma, Thu Nov 19, 2009 at 12:03:45 PM EST
We all know that Clinton was a good President, and Reagan was bad..right ? Clinton's policies were good for the economy, and Reagan's were a disaster. How about the internet (or the "information superhighway"). We all know that the internets have been good for the economy, right ? And we know that wars are bad, and so we should not elect warmongers.
Elections have consequences...
Right ?
Take a look at the following chart....
Source: Housing, Housing and the business cycle. E.E. Leamer, UCLA, Aug 7 2007 (Fed Res. Symposium at Jackson Hole).
downloaded from: pdf link
Now, those of you that know about logarithmic scaling are probably screaming that the log-scaling tends to mask real features. So, here is the same data plotted on a real scale, along with a 3.2% annual GDP growth trendline.
Do you see the effect of the internets ? Or of Reagan ? Or Clinton ? I don't either.
How about if we go back further in history.... All the way to 1792. And so, here is a chart of US Real GDP, along with a 3.6% annual GDP growth trendline.
Finally, now we can see something: the great depression. WW1, and WW2: not so much.
And even the great depression shows up only as a blip ~ the real GDP returns to it's trendlines shortly thereafter.
And if you look closely, you can probably discern that the Real GDP was growing at a faster average pace before 1900 than after. I am not showing the charts, but your eyes are not deceiving you ~ the Real GDP grew at annualized average rate of 4.1% before 1900, and only 3.3% after 1900. Did something happen in 1900 ? Who was the consequential President at the time that affected such a big (and negative) change at the time. Turns out the answer is very trivial...
Of late, we have been spending too many hours watching TV, which does not leave enough time for having sex... and fewer babies today means that Real GDP growth slows down 20 yrs from now. (And yeah, I speak that line only partly in jest)
The takeaway from all this is that, after factoring in inflation (Real vs Nominal GDP), and population growth, the US economy has grown at a steady clip for a long time; and elections have not had any consequences on that front.
Of course, within that macroscale picture, there are minutiae that matter: (a) Manufacturing jobs have been bleeding recently, which is hidden from the GDP because services and software have grown. (b) The GDP does not measure economic disparities, and elections have had consequences on this front. (c) Masked in the overall trendlines, are business cycles (~ the recession and subsequent recovery) that must be managed by the government. And elections do have consequences on how the government chooses to manage this business cycle. The implications on that front are quite profound (and the reason I am a progressive).
But I cannot pretend that elections matter any more than that.
The primary role of the government, as explained brilliantly by Dr. Leamer in the paper I referenced above, is to efficiently manage the business cycle in a manner that spreads the pain fairly (okay, he does not quite say this); it is not to affect an outlandish GDP growth...because it cannot.
And the manner in which the government spreads the pain is affected by elections.
But that is a political decision, not an economic one.
And yeah.... this is a long winded explanation for why firing Geithner will not make a difference!!

The Tennessee Titans off-season makeover continued Wednesday with a couple of changes at running back. The team released Jamie Harper and signed Jalen Parmele.
Harper was a fourth round pick for the Titans in 2011 and struggled to see time in the backfield behind Chris Johnson. He rushed for four career touchdowns.
Parmele spent last season as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars rushing for 45 yards against Tennessee in the Jags victory in Jacksonville.

RFID Solution Tracks Assets For Global Provider Of High-Pressure Gas Cylinders
A worldwide atmospheric gas provider was looking for a way to track its inventory of high-pressure gas cylinders through its global supply chain, including warehouses and manufacturing facilities. The cylinders are placed on pallets and are delivered from and to a variety of locations around the globe daily. Not only would the tracking solution need to be intrinsically safe due to the volatile nature of the gasses inside the cylinders, it would need to work in an environment where multiple metal surfaces would be present such as carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel, aluminum and carbon fiber wound metal.

Gregg Stewart | February 14, 2013 | Comments
Consumer ratings and reviews are essential to both multinational brands and local storefronts, differentiating companies from their competition and improving search engine rankings.
Whether you're in the market for a new car, a lawyer, a good meal, or a new pair of shoes, you may ask a friend or, if you're like most people, you'll head online to do some research. Ninety-three percent of all buyers, online or in-store, use search engines these days, according to comScore.
But how do you know whether a business or product is worth your time and money? By reading the reviews of course!
You're not alone. Year-over-year, local business searchers find consumer ratings and reviews to be more important than ever. A majority of consumers (61 percent) consider ratings and reviews an important factor in selecting a business, according to the 2012 15miles/Neustar Localeze Local Search Study conducted by comScore.
Consumers, especially those who use social networking sites like Facebook, are looking for local businesses every day and reading reviews. Social network/local business users are heavily engaged in the social aspects of local business search through profound usage and contribution to consumer reviews sites. Fifty-five percent of all local business searchers submitted two or more reviews in the past 30 days, 76 percent of social network users did, and 27 percent submitted more than 10 reviews!
Despite the fact that consumers' expectations for reviews are climbing and the actual use of reviews is increasing, businesses have dropped the ball. My most recent local search study found that 35 percent of these searchers expect to find consumer reviews when they search for a local business. But sadly, only 21 percent actually do.
Even though I have written twice on what brands and local businesses need to do to leverage ratings and reviews, I see very few companies actually doing anything about it, even though the perils of neglecting reviews are severe.
What's up?
One of the biggest challenges facing national brands and local businesses alike is how to cut through all the noise and stand out from the competition. I'm here to tell you that ratings and reviews are a no-brainer.
It stands to reason that since ratings and reviews are important to consumers, businesses and brands with more reviews will be considered and selected by buyers more often. Consumers are looking for this information, yet when conducting their research, they're not finding the review content they need to aid their purchase decision.
Gathering reviews and ratings for your business is one of the most effective ways to differentiate your business from your competitors, build relationships with customers and clients, boost word of mouth, and increase sales. Legitimately earned consumer reviews are paramount for businesses of all types and sizes to gain visibility on search engines and social directories like Yelp. Reviews and ratings also offer another benefit - improving your rankings on the search engine results pages.
The techniques and strategies of ratings and reviews are relevant to all types of businesses from Fortune 500s to single market providers. Large national brands like United Van Lines may manage the brand from a central location but have agents - i.e., local sales outlets just like a small shop with one local storefront.
When the furnace shuts down on a cold winter night, most of us ask a neighbor if they know a good repair shop. Online reviews can replicate that referral via social media like Facebook and sites like Yelp. And if only one of the 10 heating companies you find online has reviews, it will get a majority of the broken furnace business and the remaining nine will lose out.
Ratings and reviews are so important that Google has adjusted its algorithm to ensure that businesses that provide bad customer service have lower search results rankings. According to a blog post Google wrote, "We can say with reasonable confidence that being bad to customers is bad for business on Google."
Here are some tips to help ensure your business gets the reviews consumers want and search engines need:
Pay Attention
Don't forget, it's just as important to monitor your reviews as it is to gather them. A carefully curated page on Yelp shows you're engaged with your customers and have nothing to hide. Thoughtful responses reveal your professionalism and can reframe a negative review without resorting to name-calling or hurt feelings.
Here's an example of what not to do. Sleep Train Mattress Centers in San Diego, CA has 33 reviews on Yelp - a number many businesses would be happy with. Unfortunately, one-third of them are negative, along the lines of, "When the bed arrived at my home the box springs was damaged, small holes on the top part of the box springs, on the bottom staples out and a tear in the lining [sic]. The delivery men said this happens a lot that there are problems with the mattress and we have to take them back!!!"
Another reviewer wrote, "We both as professional business people [sic] will make a point of referring our friends and clients to them and we will also make a point of telling them what a joke your place of business is. Remember for every one person you treat badly, at least ten people will hear about it. In our case many more."
Worse than the negative ratings is the fact that there are zero responses from management. It's a huge missed opportunity to make things right and endear these disappointed customers to the business.
On the other end of the spectrum, the executive chef of Jean-Louis restaurant in Greenwich, CT has clearly mastered not only the art of French cooking, but of responding to reviews as well. With 15 reviews (13 positive, one neutral, one negative), he has written friendly, personal replies to eight of them.
See his response to a negative-turned-positive customer here:
More and more, consumer ratings and reviews are essential to both multinational brands and local storefronts, differentiating companies from their competition and improving search engine rankings. Is your company leveraging the power of ratings and reviews?

For decades the University has had the policy of using a committee to write letters of recommendation for medical, dental, occupational therapy, optometry, pharmacy (4 yr), physical therapy, physician's assistant, podiatry and veterinary medicine professional schools.
PROCESS TO REQUEST A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATIONYou've finished interviewing - Now What??
Dr. Tischler composes letters of recommendation after all of the interviews are completed (unless special arrangements are made with her in advance). You will need to set up an appointment with Dr. Tischler in order to discuss your letter. THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER ACTION TAKEN ON YOUR LETTER UNTIL YOU HAVE MET WITH DR. TISCHLER.
"Request for Letter of Recommendation" and the "Release of Rights" forms are available in Birck 348 by my desk. YOU MUST SIGN AN ORIGINAL RELEASE OF RIGHTS FORM FOR EACH LETTER YOU ARE REQUESTING. These releases go into the packet of information that we send to the schools. It is to your advantage to check the "I do release my rights..." section. You can sign several in advance and leave them with me along with payments in anticipation of future letters to be sent. I will put them in your file and use them as needed. Then, you can just email me with an address, saving you a trip into the office.
I do try to get the letters out within 5 working days. PLEASE ANTICIPATE YOUR NEEDS! FOR MED SCHOOLS-PICK UP THE FORMS EARLY SO YOU CAN FILL THEM OUT IMMEDIATELY WHEN YOUR SECONDARY LETTERS ARRIVE.
If you are requesting more than one letter at a time, please fill in ONE "Request for Letter" form and just attach a list of SCHOOLS AND ADDRESSES. (Please include the complete address of the school that you are sending the recommendation. Yes, I do have the address on file, but when there are piles of requests to get out, the ones with completed forms go out faster than the ones I have to look up). The "Request for Letter" form has information on it that I need to complete your packet. LETTERS WILL NOT BE SENT OUT IF I DO NOT HAVE ONE CURRENT COPY OF THIS FORM ON FILE. (A "request" form each time you come in is OK, it may help you to stay organized; one for each letter is ok too, but it's a lot of extra writing for you.)
The charge is $2.00 per letter requested. Payment is due with the request, or in advance. I accept cash or a check made payable to "Benedictine University". LETTERS WILL NOT BE MAILED OUT UNLESS PAYMENT IS RECEIVED.
All electronic letters will require a "Request for Letter" form and a "Release of Rights" form to be submitted to Michelle Mosier before any letter is sent. Effective June 22, 2009 - The fee for electronic letters is $5.00.
Starting with the 2010 admission cycle, AMCAS has many schools participating in an electronic letter submission system. To request a letter through AMCAS, students must:
- Release rights to the Advisor Information System
- Provide both the AAMC ID and Letter ID (print out the AMCAS form and turn it in with your request letter)
Interfolio is now participating in electronic submissions. Please provide a copy of your AACOMAS ID and your Document ID with your submissions.
The procedure for submitting letters through AADSAS, CASPA and PharmCAS is similar.
- Waive your rights so that the letter is confidential
- Use Dr. Tischler's email information in your submission (firstname.lastname@example.com)
If you have any questions regarding these steps, PLEASE call or email me (firstname.lastname@example.com). Michelle Mosier (630) 829-6232

Phoenix Suns
Suns Strokes: Late Boston run does in Phoenix
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a basketball game. So, we will give you Suns Strokes, providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Suns' 87-79 loss to the Celtics on January 9.
The Good:
While the Suns have lost four in a row and 10 of their last 11 games, starting center Marcin Gortat has been a force in the post. The 'Polish Hammer' recorded his fourth double-double (12 points and 14 rebounds) of the month. He also added a game-high five blocks.
Despite trailing by 14 at halftime, the Suns came out energized in the third quarter and used a 17-0 run to take a brief 58-55 lead.
The Bad:
While Phoenix admirably fought back against a more-talented Boston team, for the second consecutive night Alvin Gentry and Co. ran out of gas in the second half.
With the game still in the balance heading into the fourth quarter, Boston went on a 15-4 spurt to begin the final frame and never looked back.
The Suns came into Wednesday night's contest as the third-worst three-point shooting team in the league (32.9 percent) and did nothing to improve those numbers in Beantown. Phoenix went a dreadful 2-of-12 from behind the three-point arc.
In fact, Phoenix is shooting just 25.2 percent (30-for-119) from three-point range in their last eight games.
� Jermaine O'Neal returned to Boston Wednesday night after two injury-plagued seasons with the Celtics. In seven minutes of action, O'Neal scored just two points (1-of-4 shooting from the field).
� Rookie Jared Sullinger had arguably his most complete game of the season. The former No. 21 overall pick had 12 points to go along with a career-high 16 rebounds.
� After being held out of the Suns' prior two contests due to a coaching decision, Michael Beasley was back out on the floor in Boston. Beasley scored two points and took only two shots.
� The Suns have now lost 11 straight road games and have not won away from the US Airways Center since November 27.

The Suns will travel to Brooklyn to take on the Nets at the brand-new Barclays Center on Friday night at 5:30 p.m.

What is the Family Approved program?
In Their Opinion:
- Kid Friendly
- Easy
- Good for Grownups
- Great for the Holidays
- Kids Can Help
- Perfect for Parties
- Go-To Meal
Great as a dessert to bring to a party or get-together - very yummy. We shared these brownies with two other families who came for dinner and they all raved about them. I felt like a superstar!
Ethan loved these brownies, too - scarfed down his portion and was asking for more. Katie's portion was gone in a blink; I literally had to do a double take at her plate when I noticed it was gone.
Delicious recipe that was only mildly more difficult than just throwing together a boxed brownie recipe. Definitely worth the small amount of extra effort for the wonderful reward at the end. All it needed was a hot cup of coffee to complete the delectable experience.

Saint Brocard
- Burchard
Monk on Mount Carmel. Prior of his house. He asked Saint Albert, patriarch of Jerusalem, to write a Rule for the monks. In 1195 his Rule became the foundation for the Carmelite Order. Pope Honorius III objected to its use because it did not have his prior approval. The Pope received a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary who supported the rule; Honorius gave his approval. Brocard ruled his house for 35 years, setting an example for devotion to the Rule, and gaining great respect from the region's Muslims.
