This information is from notes taken at the Connecticut Yankee Council Philmont Family Day event in Branford on March 9, 2008. The equipment presentation was given by Matthew Davidson, an Eagle Scout who went to Philmont with his troop as a scout in 2004, and has since returned as a ranger. He is a font of wisdom regarding what to bring on your Philmont expedition, and more importantly, what notto bring.
Matt told us that before each scout starts on the trail at Philmont, his pack is dumped and his gear is gone over by the ranger. The ranger will tell the scout what not to bring, and if there are any glaring deficiencies in his gear, the ranger will insist that proper gear be obtained before the crew sets off. But, if there's something that the ranger has told the scout not to bring, the scout has the option to bring it anyway. One of Matt's regrets on his 2004 trip was listening to the ranger who told him not to bring his sweater; he ended up being cold every day. Our own troop encountered this in 2004 when they were told to leave behind their rain pants, since "it rarely rains at Philmont." Big mistake; it rained every single day.
Anything the gets left behind is stored in a locker in base camp that is assigned to each crew. Your crew should bring a padlock to secure this.
This is not a complete transcription of his presentation, just some nuggets of information.
Backpacks / Sleeping
You will be carrying 35-50 lbs of equipment. Your backpack should fit well and have been tested before the trip.
Internal frame backpacks are compact, but can become unwieldy when overloaded. External frame packs can be loaded up with all kinds of tied/strapped-on gear. Neither is superior in all situations; personal preference should determine which type you use. Matt uses a small internal frame pack, but says that his pack is too small to be useful for the typical Philmont scout.
Your backpack should have a capacity of between 4000 and 5500 cubic inches.
Sleeping bags should be rated between 25 and 35 degrees F. It can get very cold at night in Philmont (down to the low 20's).
Bring compression stuff sacks, and use them to make your sleeping bag and other compressibles as small as possible.
Self-inflating sleeping pads (e.g. Thermarest) are good, but can leak, and if they do, they lose most of their insulating properties. If you bring one, make sure that you have a patch kit as well. Matt prefers the folding foam type of sleeping pad (e.g. the Thermarest Z-Lite) because it maintains its insulating qualities under all circumstances.
Boots. Never bring new boots to Philmont! You will not have a good time. Boots must be well broken-in before Philmont. Matt prefers full leather boots. Any boot must have good ankle support; many rangers will not permit a scout to hike if he doesn't have ankle-high boots. Trail-runner shoes are not acceptable.
Temperatures swing widely throughout the day, from the low 20's to the high 80's. You need to be prepared when a storm front moves in and the temperature suddenly drops to winter conditions. Hypothermia is a common problem at Philmont.
Cotton kills. Do not bring any cotton, except maybe for briefs or boxer-brief type underwear (which Matt recommends -- he discourages the use of boxers at Philmont).
All skin-contact clothing should be polypropylene ("polypro") or polyester, which dries quickly when wet and wicks sweat away. T-shirts should be of this wicking type, and definitely not of cotton. Likewise shorts and long pants. No cotton, no jeans.
Matt avoids nylon. It is cold when wet and the wind is blowing. Use only as a water- or wind-proof outer layer.
Don't carry too many clothes.
You will need a separate set of clothes for sleeping in, because you will get food on your regular clothes, and food attracts bears. Since anything that gets near food is kept strictly away from the sleeping area at each camp, a separate T-shirt and shorts (and whatever else you like to sleep in) must be brought.
Dress in layers:
Layer A:
Wool or merino wool hiking socks.
Synthetic liner socks.
Underwear (boxer briefs, briefs, swimming trunks with liners, wicking-type underwear).
Shorts (2-3 pair, not cotton).
T-shirts (3, should be wicking, not cotton).
A hat with a brim to keep the sun off your face.
Separate sleeping clothes.
Layer B:
Long pants/convertible pants. One pair of convertible pants (legs unzip to make them shorts) counts towards your pairs of shorts -- less to carry. No jeans or cotton.
"Insulated" underwear (not sure what he meant by this, but speaking to him later, he said by all means, bring wicking-type long underwear tops and bottoms).
Sweater or jacket (fleece or wool).
Skull cap/watch cap. Basically something warm that covers the whole top of the head.
Gloves. He never found a need for these, but if you don't mind carrying them, they could be useful on cold mornings.
Layer C:
Rain suit. Goretex or other breathable top, hip-length; pants are useful too. No ponchos.
Bring a deep bowl and a spoon. That's it. The bowl should be hard plastic (like lexan) or metal, and the spoon should durable. Since you will be literally licking the bowl clean before you wash it, it shouldn't be so deep that you can't get your face into it. Don't bring a plate, fork, knife or cup. One of your nalgene bottles will serve as a cup.
For water, bring 2 1-liter hard plastic Nalgene bottles (one for water, one for gatorade). Also bring a 2-liter collapsible container (Platypus is good). You should be able to carry at least 4 liters of water at a time without any crew containers, and you may be asked to carry 6 liters to a dry camp.
your own tents. Do not
use the PhilTents (Philmont-supplied tents); they tend not to be in the
Crew Communal Gear
Philmont-Provided Gear

It was a run around trying to have the balcony divider removed. First told to go to Guest Services then told to call our room steward, then told to go to Guest Services.
The food was terrible compared to last year, fried chicken, hamburgers, mac and cheese, IN THE MAIN DINING ROOM? Don't expect good service if you bring kids with you. We were told that apple juice was available all day, it's not and my 2 year old grandson does not drink lemonade or ice tea, and we certainly wouldn't have him drinking soda pop he's only 2.
Keep an eye on your set sail account we were double billed for something every day, I don't want to spend my holiday at guest services. We were even billed again for an excursion that we paid for a month before the cruise. The 2nd day there were 10 other people in line at guest services regarding double billing. Carnival are you losing money?
the kids pool was never open.
the covered pool was open when we got to Florida
the outside pool was open but too cold to swim in until Florida, the adult only pool not open. I love kids but I don't want to swim in a pool with them. and for the parents of the 14 year olds that were practically having sex in the hot tub while you sat around drinking and laughing about it well shame on you.
I have been home since for 3 weeks still waiting for a call back from Carnival.

Fighting for Marriage Equality
Following victories at the ballot box in Maine, Maryland and Washington, there is now unstoppable momentum for marriage equality in this country. HRC's members and supporters drove these victories. Other efforts such as the Americans for Marriage Equality campaign, the release of a guide to Congress members' positions on marriage and more helped to change hearts and minds in favor of equal marriage rights for all Americans.
- HRC donated more than $1.4 million to advance marriage in Washington. HRC provided key campaign leadership via our local steering committee and staff. We energized our members and supporters around the campaign, both locally and nationally, with more than 600,000 emails. Recognizing the importance of the business case for marriage equality, HRC helped recruit companies to publicly support the marriage campaign.
- HRC contributed more than $840,000 to advance marriage equality in Maine, along with sending nearly 85,000 emails to HRC members and supporters. Several hundred volunteers and nearly half a dozen HRC staff were on the ground in Maine organizing critical field and faith-based support throughout the campaign.
- HRC's involvement in the fight for marriage equality in Maryland was its largest-ever investment in a state marriage campaign. As a founding member of Marylanders for Marriage Equality, HRC contributed nearly $2.8 million to coalition efforts. We mobilized voters in support of the campaign via weekly phone banks, 475,000 emails to HRC members and supporters, town halls and canvassing. HRC also provided key campaign leadership, as well as significant field organizing resources and legal support.
- Minnesota made history by becoming the first state to defeat a discriminatory amendment that would have banned marriage equality in the state. HRC is proud to have contributed more than $1 million to defeat the amendment. We also sent 480,000 emails to supporters of marriage equality and we've helped recruit more than 1,100 volunteers to work on the campaign. HRC also provided key staff leadership and campaign support.
- HRC continued to push for passage of the Respect for Marriage Act, legislation to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, and to shine a light on House Republican leaders' waste of millions of taxpayer dollars on the defense of that discriminatory law.
- HRC continued its work with Americans for Marriage Equality, a public engagement campaign featuring prominent Americans who support committed gay and lesbian couples getting married. The campaign features videos in support of marriage equality.

I did a search and couldnt find anything on when it is safe to climb after it rains. Does anyone know about how long after a day of rain you would have to wait to climb safely?
Rained pretty hard all day in Red Rock today. But was dry last week. So a 24 hour wait ought to suffice. Friday morning should be good to go.
All depends on the stone. Bulletproof granite can be climbed as soon as its dry to the touch. On the other end of the spectrum, soft sandstone needs 3-4 days to fully dry. Wet stone is less strong, which makes placements less reliable and increase the chance of damaging the rock. Evan
Come on, you guys. You can climb in the rain. It just gets a little harder. With the exception of sandstone.
Okay thanks guys. I was looking at the weather up in Red Rocks tomorrow its supposed to be sunny the rest of the week through the weekend. Wanted to see if I could climb tomorrow.
From some friends that were poking around in the rain before heading to the bar yesterday: A few folks were climbing in the corridor, and someone pulled off that massive undercling flake on one of those 5.9s on the left. Didn't ask if the belayer was wearing a helmet, or if they were just lucky, but the chunks were head-size. Moral of this story: Aztec Sandstone turns to mud inside when it's wet. Please give it enough time to dry. Just because it's sunny today doesn't mean it's dry. If you were one of those peeps in the Corridor, go home. Thank you. Mostafa- as a local, even a new one, it is important that we try to set a good example - educate our friends about this and show some personal restraint. With the amount of rain we've had this week, if it stays dry today it should be good to go by Sat, like John said. If shady routes feel snappy, stay in the sun.
Oh the sunny routes. How I have missed you during these long summer months.
Can't you make this a sticky in here? It seems like "rain in red rocks" comes up at least once a week in fall?
It was requested to add a few good alternatives to Red Rock for rainy days. Good alternatives include: Joshua Tree, Keyhole Canyon, Arrow Canyon, Xmas Tree Pass, Lone Mtn and the Gun Club. The latter two are located minutes off 215, and are one of the more popular rainy day alternatives, especially for visiting climbers that don't want to drive 1+ hr. See Desert Rock Sports for the new-ish topo to the routes at Suburban Crag (Lone Mtn). Hope that helps folks that don't want to take the time to look through the whole NV page. See individual pages for more specific beta.
so, back on the subject, was lookin to make the 10hr drive out to RR for spring break and now it is forecasting to rain on and saturday day(10%)/night(40%); sunday(40% chance); and monday (10% chance all day). how soon will I be able to climb? How accurate are these forecasts(weather.com)? I am not familiar with the area at all so any info would help
word squirl, anywhere else i've lived under 40% meant no rain. here, if there's even a 10% it seems to rain.
Looking at weather reports shows no rain for today anyone know when it will be good to climb again at RR? Is Tuesday 20th first day?
It definitely rained today- the loop road was wet at 6pm tonight when we drove it for views of the snow in the mountains. (and we saw climbers- assholes.) Id say tues pm for sport climbing, wed at the earliest for multipitch in the sun. Thursday would be better based on the snow and water visible on the big walls.
Great thanks for the heads up John! It would have been upsetting to make the drive and not climb.
I'm sorry but I just don't think blantantly calling people assholes is acceptable. It creates unnecessary hostility in the climbing community that we are trying to inform. Why would someone listen to another person who just blatantly insulted them? Or insulted them unknowingly on an online forum? It would be much easier to respect the opinion of a fellow climber if they talked with respect and as equals to each other. What might seem obvious to some, perhaps isn't' to others. Sorry if my opinion is unpopular but I just don't like the tone that arises when it comes to climbing after rain. I understand this is a serious issue, so lets try to handle it seriously. I talked to the BLM office today and disscused if they would be willing to post official signs at the pullouts/campground clearly explaining the regulations/recommendations for climbing after precipitation. From what I gathered it sounds like signage is in the works and will hopefully be displayed before the Rendezvous. It's a step in the right direction IMO. That might help keep those wonderful, peaceful, and WELCOME visiting climbers informed about the seriousness and detrimental effects of climbing after precipitation. Of course I mean no disrespect to anyone, I just think we could handle things differently as a community.
The newspaper-like brochure that they hand out to every car that enters the loop road says this in the Rock Climbing at Red Rock section: "... RAIN RAIN GO AWAY The sandstone becomes very brittle when it rains and should not be climbed for at least 24 hours. By allowing the sandstone to dry out, hand and footholds will not be broken and gear will be less likely to pull out during a fall. If it rains during your visit to Red Rock Canyon and the sandstone is too brittle, consider the limestone sport crags that are found in Red Rock and other climbing sites around Las Vegas. ..."

Molest-y reader Ian sends in this video from iCarly, which is apparently a Nickelodeon show starring one of the little girls from School of Rock. I wouldn't know. Swear.
If you can make it past the annoying kids making fun of old people and aren't afraid of the To Catch a Predator TV crew, by all means, check the video out. It's got Cal pole vaulter and one-time Internet phenomenon Allison Stokke displaying her skills for the 'tween set.
Welp, there's the knock on my door. I suppose that'll be Chris Hansen again. His response time keeps getting faster. I think he may have rented the apartment above mine.

Gang beat and rob man in Octavia Road in Southampton
3:02pm Wednesday 2nd January 2013 in News By Jon Reeve, Education Reporter
FOUR robbers punched and kicked a Southampton man as they stole his wallet during an attack in a Southampton street.
The 21-year-old was stopped in an alleyway between garages that leads to Octavia Road in Mansbridge.
The men demanded valuables from him, before punching him in the face and kicking him repeatedly while he was on the ground.
They stole his wallet, which contained several cards and around £140, and then ran off towards Itchenside View.
The victim was left him with cuts, grazes and bruising to his face and body.
Police are now appealing for any witnesses who saw the incident or anything suspicious in the area around the time of the robbery, which happened at around 3.35am on Saturday.
The robbers are all described as black and in their 20s.
Anyone with information should call Detective Constable Steve Lanham at Bitterne CID on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

It took until their eighth pick, and the 29th pick of the sixth round before the Patriots addressed their need for an edge rusher by drafting Markell Carter out of Central Arkansas. He might not be the second-round pass rusher that Patriots fans were looking for, but fits what they've been drafting in that he is a developmental prospect. Here is PFW's scouting report on Carter:
College defensive end from the same I-AA program which has produced pass-rushing draft picks Jacob Ford (Titans, 2007) and Larry Hart (Jaguars '10) in recent years, Carter produced 30 1/2 tackles for loss and 12 sacks the past two seasons. Lacks elite edge speed but has developmental size and length as a stand-up, power-leverage rusher. Flashes the ability to tug and rip off blocks and has upside given he will be a 22-year-old rookie.

Foie Gras Is Once Again Legal in Chicago
Posted May 15, 2008 9:16 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The Chicago City Council has repealed a controversial ban on the sale of foie gras in the city, heeding the mayor's plea to put the item back on the menu.
Mayor Richard Daley had previously called the ban "the silliest law the city council has ever passed," the Chicago Tribune reports. Restaurant owners had opposed the law, but it was supported by animal rights activists who say the delicacy is produced by force-feeding ducks and geese until their livers swell to 10 times their normal size.
The first restaurant owner fined for violating the ban was Doug Sohn of Hot Doug's. "The one thing I'm hoping is that this issue finally gets put to bed and the city can spend its time on real issues," he said.

The Centers for Disease Control says the number of families choosing home births is going up, and we asked FOX Chicago News Medical Contributor Dr. Mona Khanna about the reasons why.
After a decline from 1990 to 2004, the percentage of U.S. births that occurred at home increased by 29%, from 0.56% of births in 2004 to 0.72% in 2009.
White women were leading the increase; in that group, home births increased by 36%, from 0.80% in 2004 to 1.09% in 2009 -- equivalent to about 1 in every 90 births.
The CDC said that home births are less common among women of other racial or ethnic groups.
Home births are more common among women aged 35 and over, and among women with several previous children.
Home births have a lower risk profile than hospital births, with fewer births to teenagers or unmarried women, and with fewer preterm, low birth weight, and multiple births. The percentage of home births in 2009 varied from a low of 0.2% of births in Louisiana and the District of Columbia, to a high of 2.0% in Oregon and 2.6% in Montana.

KILLONA, La. (AP) - St. Charles Parish sheriff's deputies say a prisoner who escaped from the Nelson Coleman Correctional Center in Killona is back in custody.
Deputies captured 35-year-old Charles J. Conrad III at a hotel Tuesday in Kenner. He was working in the jail's kitchen when he climbed over a fence near a trash bin early in the morning.
Authorities say investigators learned Conrad contacted 36-year-old Erica Williams allegedly to pick him up. Williams was arrested later Tuesday at her home in Kenner. She faces a charge of principle to escape.
Conrad, a state Department of Corrections prisoner, was being held on charges of armed robbery and second-degree battery and has family in the St. Rose and Kenner areas.
Conrad was returned to custody without incident.

The Broncos will be without starting ORG Chris Kuper for the start of the regular season.
Kuper suffered a broken ulna in his left forearm, according to Mike Klis of the Denver Post, and is expected to miss six weeks. The injury occurred in Tuesday's practice.
A seventh-year veteran, Kuper started all 16 games last season, but missed the playoffs after dislocating his left ankle in the regular-season finale. In his career, Kuper has appeared in 79 games with 73 starts.
Kuper's replacement will likely be Manny Ramirez, who appeared in two games last season. Ramirez started 12 games for Detroit in 2009.

This illuminated manuscript is of a wird (prayer) called "Miftāḥ al-najāḥ al-mukanná bi-al-wasīlah ilá kull ḥizb wa-falāḥ", attributed to 'Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib, the fourth caliph of Islam. According to the colophon, this work was completed by Shaykh Kamāl ibn 'Abd al-Ḥaqq al-Sabzawārī, the calligrapher and illuminator, in Astarabad (present-day Gorgan, Iran) in 941 AH (1534 AD). The text, divided into five compartments, is in calligraphic vocalized Naskh script in black ink and vocalized Thuluth in gold ink outlined in black. Illuminated rosettes with colored dots serve as verse markers ...
11th-Century Qur'an in Eastern Kufic
This 11th-century manuscript contains the 20th juz' (section) of a Qur'an that originally consisted of 30 parts. The arrangement into 30 parts corresponds to the number of days in the month of Ramadan, during which the Muslim is obliged to fast and to read through the whole of the Qur'an. Other sections or fragments of this magnificent manuscript lie scattered in various collections all over the world. A Turkish note ascribes the Qur'an to the hand of the Caliph Ali, Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law, and thus ...

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This route varies dramatically depending on its conditions, which are inconsistent - what a surprise! With a smattering of verglas present, it's a healthy grovel, a fair bit of low percentage moves and pro sometimes questionable. However, a couple of inches of ice can make a big difference in the climbing - but the pro can be tougher - as the climb is not especially steep for the rating. It is climbable without much ice, though a bit of ice probably makes it more fun. A true analysis of whether it's "in" can only be made at the route's base - the thin ice, and ice on edges, may not be visible from across the lake, but it can be good climbing.
Fixed anchor(s) (can do as two short or one long pitch) of old pins, but they seem good. Amount of ice influences pro considerably - in lean conditions, a full, standard rack of nuts and cams (including TCUs), along with Tri-cams is key. If "fat," lessen the rock gear and bring some screws - including shorties.

CLOVER — Two weeks into the 2013-2014 school year, 36 Air Force JROTC cadets showed up for this year's drill team tryouts at Clover High School. Over the next few weeks, the team was formed with the 16 remaining cadets.
On Oct. 19, the drill team competed at the 49er drill competition hosted by the Air Force ROTC detachment at UNC Charlotte with 17 teams from North and South Carolina.
Drill Team commander was Cadet Maj. Daniel Lopez.
There are seven events commanded by a different drill team member.
The first event was Element Armed, commanded by Cadet Sam Winterberg. The Element Unarmed team executed their movements with superb military bearing and marching precision. The Clover team won first place.
Next were Flight Armed and Flight Unarmed routines. Thirteen team members marched in the two events with the Flight Armed commanded by Cadet Ariel Lopez and Unarmed commanded by Cadet Samantha Lucas. Each team marched well, with the Flight Armed capturing second place.
The final event of the day was Knockout Competition, following a similar format to the game "Simon Says" using drill commands. Cadets who execute the movement correctly stay in to continue; others are knocked out. Cadet Ciara Clayton stood tall against 200 cadets, capturing second place.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — Officials are recommending steps to prevent the spiny water flea from entering Lake Champlain, including redirecting the flow of water from the Champlain Canal.
But the New York Canal Corp. said it will not close the canal to boat traffic.
The spiny water flea, a tiny creature that feeds off plankton and can cause considerable damage to the ecosystem, was first identified in June near Lock 9 in the Champlain Canal, about 13 miles south of Whitehall on the southern edge of Lake Champlain.
That confirmation sparked the Lake Champlain Basin Program's Aquatic Invasive Species Rapid Response Task Force into action to determine the best plan to meet this potential treat to the main lake.
"The Task Force has determined that it is not scientifically and technically feasible to contain and eradicate the spiny water flea in a rapid-response time frame," said Meg Modley, coordinator for the Basin Program's aquatic invasive-species management program.
"Even if we were to contain them, killing them all would not be feasible," she added. "The Champlain Canal and Glens Falls Feeder Canal are complex systems. You can't simply close the lock and stop the water flow. All parts of the system would have to be treated."
The team identified two options:
▶ Closing three locks on the canal and diverting the flow of water into the Hudson drainage to the south.
▶ Installing a hydrologic barrier to prevent the movement of the water flea and all other aquatic invasive species through the canal system at Lock 9. A boat lift would be required for this second option so vessels could continue to travel through the system.
However, both options face significant obstacles. The New York State Canal Corp. is required by law to keep the waters of the Champlain Canal open and navigable. The Canal Corp. issued a statement this week saying that it would not consider that option, citing the economic impact such a move would have on marinas, restaurants and other businesses along the access route to Lake Champlain.
The implementation of a hydrologic barrier would require substantial design, development, engineering and financing that cannot happen quickly.
In all, the Rapid Response Team released seven recommendations for managing the spiny water flea.
"They are recommendations," Modley said. "They will all be pursued. I don't know if all will be executed, but we're looking at long-term solutions for all invasive species, not just the spiny water flea."
The Rapid Response Task Force will work with the Canal Corp. to explore the possibility of redirecting surplus water in the canal to the south rather than into the Champlain drainage system as it does now.
Efforts will also move forward to complete a feasibility study to determine the best options for preventing aquatic invasive species from using the Champlain Canal to enter Lake Champlain.
Sampling efforts will be increased in the Champlain and Glens Falls Feeder canals, including testing of fish that may have consumed the spiny water flea.
The Rapid Response Team has urged the New York Canal Corp. to issue public-service announcements to alert canal traffic to the presence of the creature. The Basin Program is also expanding its steward program, in which volunteers greet boaters at boat-launch sites and provide education on invasive species.
"We will be meeting shortly to continue going over these recommendations," Modley said. "Who, what and how fast this can happen will have to be seen."
As of this week, scientists had not identified any new infestations of spiny water flea north of the first sighting.

'Suspicious' fire breaks out at 7-11 in northeast Phoenix
PHOENIX -- A first-alarm fire broke out at a 7-11 convenience store on 64th Street and Bell Road Thursday evening.
According to Capt. Larry Nunez of the Phoenix Fire Department, the cause of the blaze was not conclusive, however it was categorized as a "suspicious fire".

ETEAL: Experiencing Transformative Education through Applied Learning
About ETEAL
The purpose of UNCW's QEP, "ETEAL: experiencing Transformative Education through Applied Learning," is to improve applied learning outcomes through the application of research-based instructional strategies vital to promoting highest quality learning experiences.
The primary methodology for improvement will be through a three part approach, which includes faculty/staff workshops in applied learning pedagogy through participation in the annual Applied Learning Summer Institute and ongoing collaboration with the Applied Learning & Teaching Community. The third part of the approach involves requirements for integration of QEP-supported initiatives into the curriculum. The effects on student learning will be measured through critical reflections of instructors and students. Although intended outcomes will be specific to each experience, they will align with the UNCW Learning Goals of Critical Thinking, Inquiry, and Thoughtful Expression.

Getting country back to work: PM
9:42am Wednesday 14th May 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
The Prime Minister declared the Government was "getting the country back to work" as employment reached a record high after further falls in the jobless total, fuelled by more self-employment.
More than 30.4 million people are now in work - the highest since records began in 1971 - with self-employment climbing to a new high of 4.5 million.
David Cameron highlighted the figures during Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons, saying: "We are getting the country back to work."
Unemployment has fallen by 133,000 to 2.2 million, the lowest for five years, giving a jobless rate of 6.8%, leading business groups and government ministers to praise the pace of the economic recovery.
Minister for employment Esther McVey said: "As the recovery takes hold, more people are able to get a job or set up their own business and become the employers of tomorrow."
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said: "We are starting to see the British economy firing on all cylinders and this means more people are in work today than ever before.
"The coalition Government is not just focused on balancing the books, but also on creating more jobs and growth outside of London and building a fairer society for this generation and the next."
David Kern, chief economist at the British Chambers of Commerce, said: "The figures continue to demonstrate the flexibility and resilience of the jobs market, which is a source of strength for the economy.
"Although there are still some concerns, with youth and long-term unemployment particularly high, the recovery is clearly moving ahead."
Labour and union leaders were more cautious about the state of the jobs market.
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said: "It's encouraging to see more people in work, though many of Britain's newly employed workforce are actually working for themselves.
"Ministers shouldn't kid themselves that we are becoming a nation of budding entrepreneurs though.
"You are far more likely to be a self-employed hairdresser, care home worker or eBay seller, than to run your own business and take on staff."
Shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves said: "While this fall in overall unemployment is welcome, today's figures show that young people and the long-term unemployed are being left behind.
"Under David Cameron, over 850,000 young people are unemployed and there are still over 100,000 more people out of work for two years or more than in 2010."
The number of people working for themselves jumped by 183,000 in the quarter to March, compared with a rise of 375,000 over the past year.
Other data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed that jobseeker's allowance claimants fell by 25,100 in April to 1.12 million, the 18th consecutive monthly reduction.
Meanwhile, average earnings increased by 1.7% in the year to March, slightly ahead of the latest CPI inflation rate of 1.6% - the first time this has happened for four years.
The number of people out of work for over a year was down by 32,000 to 813,000, with unemployment among 16 to 24-year-olds falling by 48,000 to 868,000, the lowest figure for five years.
Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said: "The myth that those taking up self-employment are all budding Richard Bransons needs to be exposed.
"Many people are being forced to take up self-employment as the permanent, full-time jobs they are qualified to do are simply not there."

And, in the matter employment rising, much of the so called jobs are part time, and on low rates which are being propped up financially by state benefits and grants to business, or else very short term contracts, or zero hours which means absolutely nothing when some sort of permanence is ought for to create stability in social and family life.
Of course, almost all of the media is owned and controlled by right wing supporters, so it's second nature to those owners to hype up anything that places the right wing political establishement in a favourable light.

And people on the work programme and on training courses are classed as employed according to ONS! What a scam.

QA Manager Interview (Positive Experience; Average Interview)
I applied through a recruiter - interviewed at QLogic in October 2012.
Interview Details – There were two phone screens, first with a recruiter, then with the hiring manager. Then a full day of "face to face" interviews with six people. The one challenge with these "face to face" interviews was the fact that some of the people were remote so the interview was actually done over the phone. Personally, I prefer a face to face for these types of conversations.
Then there were two more interviews, one in person with the hiring manager and lastly a phone call with the VP.
All in all the process was very professional, the staff was all friendly and congenial.
Interview Question – What are some things that would make you not want to work at this company? Answer Question

The thing is that the install on my sever doesn't even have a 'dev' directory. The closest thing I can find is 'localhost/sapphire/dev/.
Cheers for any help.

Hi Tim,
is the site working at all? (EDIT: just checked looks like it's not).
Don't worry about there not being a dev folder, there isn't one, all actions in SS are directed to main.php via the htaccess file. I notice that your SS install isn't in the root of your site, so make sure that line 10 of your .htaccess file reads:
RewriteBase /silverstripe
www.ssbits.com - Your one stop SilverStripe learning resource

Hey Aram,
http://timdonaldson.com/silverstripe/ is working for me, although pretty slow because it's hosted on Mediatemple without being cached — I'm just using as my test server until I get my head around things.
Cheers for explaining the lack on dev folder. Am I adding that line to my root .htaccess folder or the silverstripe folder? What does Rewrite do?

Hi Aram, You were probably right about the site not being live. I received an email from MT yesterday saying that they had had problems with Hard drives failing in their servers over the weekend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014I would recommend this even for an early dinner. Everyone is warm and friendly and makes each patron feel important, which is a delightful way to embark upon a superb dining experience.Special Features:
- Great timeFormerButterFanVIPDined on 8/27/2014I didn't know that they had a $49 prix fixe menu but that was a pleasant surprise that might take me back there more often.Special Features:
- It was just okDiner1111VIPDined on 8/26/2014This is my third visit. I still don't get it. The pastrami cured salmon was decent but far from the excellent quality salmon available so many places. The salmon main course was requested medium rare; it was overcooked. The quinoa side was oily and unpleasant; the artichoke hummus with tough-as-a-board naan was inedible. Steamed bass was bland, and mahi-mahi was ok. Brussels sprouts were greasy. I had been warned against the blueberry tart and found the dessert listing unappealing. Overall, the food was ok, the service good. But I'm not rushing back.
- Great Food - Bad Bus ServiceBouludDined on 8/23/2014Same as ever. Love the food. Not fond of the service. Very erratic pacing to the service and always leave you hanging too long at the end of your meal.Special Features:
- Fishtail is a WinFoodie16Dined on 8/23/2014The shellfish tower was great, the entrées were amazing and of course had to go with the cheese cake lollipops(you should too).Special Features:

- Fish at Its Best!diniVIPDined on 8/22/2014From the warm greeting as soon as you step in the door of the lovely Upper East Side townhouse, to the outstanding selection of wonderfully prepared fish, Fishtail does its very best to ensure a fine dining experience. Elegant without being stuffy, this is a place for a Sunday night dinner or a special occasion!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great for groups.OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/20/2014Food was ok. Price sky high. Atmosphere ok. Service was awesome. Would recommend to first timers, you be the judge. Only thought it was pretty good because of the occasion.Special Features:

- Horrible ExperiencedissapointednycDined on 8/17/2014Hello. From the time we sat down to the signing of the check. Our waiter brought the wrong water, after repeating "sparkling"twice; a martini took 20 min to arrive; we waited 15 min for the nonexistent sommelier, and after pointing to the wine we selected, someone brought a higher priced/diff vintage and it felt like bait and switch. Once corrected, the woman who opened the wine was very sloppy about it. I was brought my soup and waited 5 min for a spoon. Thankfully ,it was chilled. Finally, the waiter, with only 2 tables left at the end of the evening, gave us the wrong check! We could only laugh!
- good pointsjackiebVIPDined on 8/17/2014restaurant was just as i expected. have been here many times.the food is very good, service exceptional. i dont eat dessert and the waiter went across the street to buy a banana so that they could prepare a fruit dessert to my liking.Special Features:
- Nice place for a dateFoodAnonymousDined on 8/15/2014First, the food was excellent. The desserts (Peach Parfait and the Peanut Butter Jelly Bar) were good however they were too sweet. One of the other desserts might have been better. The place was very nice and decor was very good. Please be aware that everyone is dressed nicely. Most of the guys had blazers and women had nice dresses. I think this is a great place to bring a date and to come for special occasions with a small group. The service is really excellent.Special Features:
- Entree less than spectacularOotiegirlDined on 8/15/2014This was the second time I visited this restaurant. The service is wonderful and they are very accommodating to special requests. The appetizers were wonderful, as was the dessert, especially the Cheesecake lollipops! However, the entrée, we had the Nori Tuna, which was spiceless and the Branzino which while good, was nothing special. All in all a nice experience though.Special Features:
- Excellent food and serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/14/2014We went here for restaurant week dinner. The food was excellent, especially the dessert. The blueberries tarte was exquisite. The drink were a bit pricey but it's a high end restaurant. The service was very good. Overall excellent experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great find!TallCdngirlVIPDined on 8/13/2014The reviews don't do this restaurant justice! We had a great time -- lively crowd, good menu, great somelier and wine recommendations! Although they forgot about us after asking us to wait for our table at the bar, they made up for it with apologies and a terrific rest of the night. Eat upstairs in the restaurant -- it's vibrant and loud and fun in all the right ways. We had a terrific anniversary dinner, very memorable!!Special Features:
- Not as Good as the TownhousecathylovesfoodVIPDined on 8/13/2014I was a bit disappointed in Fishtail. Restaurant is too noisy and too cramped. The pastrami smoked salmon appetizer was way too spicy. The branzino was very good but I had to take the skin off because it was too salty. Service was excellent. I prefer David Burke's Townhouse.
- David Burke always pleases!ole1Dined on 8/13/2014Fishtail is the best of the best. David Burke is the epitome of great hospitality and his staff does him proud! This restaurant isa gem! The food is delicious and the menu continues to change and delight. Service is terrific and the staff really go out of their way to make sure you have a wonderful experience. The bar is hot and if you want something more quiet, dining upstairs is lovely. You must try.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, but priceySJvisitorsDined on 8/12/2014Even with Restaurant week, a number of items had extra surcharges. Very high wine bottle prices. The bar scene is well beyond energetic, it is deafening.Special Features:
- Simply delicious fishsobepsychVIPDined on 8/12/2014Great simple fresh fish dishes. Easy to order exactly what you like because all a la carte, but also pricey. Surcharge for choice vodkas in cocktails which seems to be common in NYC.Special Features:
- Ejc73Dined on 8/11/2014Came for restaurant week with a few girlfriends. Service was impeccable - our server was extraordinarily knowledgeble & very nice. He made wonderful recommendations & our experience was that much better because of him! Bartender was also wonderful & the cocktails we ordered were amazing. Food was good.. For apps - tuna crudo, tartare platter, smoked salmon were all great - skip the crab cakes. Entrees - mahi, angry lobster, nori tuna were fantastic - steak frites was dry. Definitley check it out for restaurant week, don't know if the hefty prices are worth it full price though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/11/2014Every dish we had was excellent! The server did seem to be rushing along our meal, which could be because it was restaurant week, and never asked if we needed a drink refill after the first. Food still was compensated for the service and I would definitely recommend for anyone to check it outSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- IssuesmartVIPDined on 8/11/2014the food was excellent. One bus boy picked up our plates while food was still on it and while still eating. It is noisy and the table vibrated as people passed our table.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/11/2014After two poor outings by another David Burke restaurant I decided to give him one more chance. Fishtail did not disappoint. Food was fantastice, but don't expect to be able to hear the person sitting across the table from you, it is LOUD.
- EatingourwaythruNYCSCivDined on 8/11/2014Fishtail was recommended by a friend and it didn't disappoint! We were fortunate to make it out during Restaurant Week and enjoyed a delicious meal for very reasonable! Nothing topped this meal and we will be back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Their positive comments speak volumes: ...Delicious, spicy lobster soup ...Amazing homemade smoked salmon ...Outstanding grilled salmon with red quinoa and artichokes ...Salted caramel and peach parfait with honey? Outrageously sweet, but couldn't stop eating it! ...Peanut butter and chocolate for dessert? I am in heaven! Thank you to David Burke and your professional staff who served us and who prepared a very special birthday dinner with family.Special Features:
- Great RestaurantHappy2eatDined on 8/10/2014We enjoyed everything about dinner at Fishtail. Great restaurant week find! The smoked salmon appetizer, Tuna and branzino main course and peach parfait are definite must haves! ENJOY!Special Features:
- busy, busydehillerinVIPDined on 8/10/2014restaurant week here is a mixed bag. the food is still excellent -- wonderful and original preparations of fish and seafood, but because of the bargain, the place was a madhouse and wildly noisy when we dined on a Sunday at 6 pm. Note to self: must try off-hours next time.
- Sunday night dinnerNYC515VIPDined on 8/10/2014I tried Fishtail as part of Restaurant Week. It is delicious and welcoming to solo diners. The selections were open to the entire menu. David Burke's pastrami smoked salmon appetizer is amazing, served with tiny pancakes and creme fraiche. The black bass is wonderful. My salted caramel dessert was a little sweet for my taste. The table next to me let me tast their cheese cake lollipop tree (served for two), and those are fantastic, in a variety one favors! The wait staff is very attentive and friendly. It is a great dining experience and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. I cannot wait to return with friends.Special Features:
- ladiesVIPDined on 8/10/2014. What a wonderful Restaurant Week menu! Offering their full menu gives the diner a chance to really "try out" the restaurant.Special Features:
- Excellent as alwaysJayLDined on 8/10/2014Enjoyed our RW meals here, basically have a full menu to choose from with supplementals for some items. Different scene sitting upstairs vs downstairs, I prefer it down by the bar, feels much less formal for lunch.Special Features:
- PerfectTennisDined on 8/9/2014Great Lunch with friends. Food was great as always. Love to eat in the Bar. Everyone is so attentive. ..Always!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Satisfied..NiceplaceDined on 8/9/2014There were four of us celebrating a friend's bday. I informed Fishtail about the occasion..I sort of expected a bday greeting for my friend in the form of maybe a slice of cake or something, but there was nothing at all. Otherwise, we were quite satisfied.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BEYOND SPECTACULARnodivaVIPDined on 8/8/2014Fishtail, a beautiful designed space, never disappoints, and is always amazing! The entire staff is always very helpful, accommodating, and knowledgeable. They cannot do enough for you. Managerial staff, waiters, hostesses, et al, are at the top of their game. The cuisine is incomparable... THE BEST THE CITY HAS TO OFFER!Special Features:
- Order dinner in the barForkontheRoadDined on 8/7/2014Dishes were well prepared and plated. Steak was perfectly cooked. That said, the loud and cramped atmosphere detracted from our enjoyment. Hey, we know space is at a premium in New York, but it felt like the couple next to us were almost sitting in our laps. Not a good thing, because they couldn't keep their hands off each other..yuk! And our server was quite frankly a little snot; very dismissive of any questions we had about the menu...what a put-off. Prior to dinner, we had a pleasant wait in the bar downstairs and in retrospect, we should have sat at the bar and ordered our meals and it would have then been a delightful evening.Special Features:
- RestaddtDined on 8/7/2014Fish entrees were amazing (all four of them at our table!), and desserts were surprisingly really good, decadent without being too rich! The appetizers were a bit of of a hit or miss - the angry calamari wasn't very spicy, more sour, but their crab cakes were divine. The smoked salmon needed less wasabi pancake and more wasabi, but very good nonetheless, and the crab salad gazpacho was also a little too acidic/sour, needed a bit more balance. Overall really good. Staff are very attentive without being overbearing! Starter bread was really really good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TOUCHDOWN !!krmooreDined on 8/7/2014We had a dinner reservation, got there 20 minutes early and we were seated promptly. The waiter was very helpful!!, the food was FANTASTIC !! Next time in New York City we will be there once again...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EnjoyedflygirlDined on 8/7/2014We were lucky and got a table upstairs, away from the very noisy bar area. Food was very good. Servers were overly friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food!ShopperDined on 8/7/2014The food was absolutely sensational! The atmosphere was busy and noisy. The service unfortunately didn't meet up to the food standards. We were rushed throughout the meal-removing plates when we weren't finished. It was sort of fast food service-the meal was about an hour in total. It was certainly a great deal for restaurant week!Special Features:
- Innovative fish restaurantChrisDPDined on 8/6/2014We went here for restaurant week and it was great! The food was amazing. Delicious flavors and innovative presentations. The dessert was also great (and I used to be a pastry chef so I tend to be critical of desserts!). Our server, Judy, was really nice, attentive, and had good recommendations when it came to the wine list. The atmosphere is very hip and trendy-a fun place to go on a date night. We were celebrating our 9 year anniversary and they definitely made it special. We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Team Cee Lo
Saved by America: Trevin Hunte and Nicholas David
Saved by Cee Lo: Cody Belew
Eliminated: Diego Val, MacKenzie Bourg
America, you're exhausting me. Why could you not save MacKenzie? Why? There are only three things more adorable than MacKenzie: puppies whose best friends are kittens, baby elephants, and the Abominable Snowman from the clay-mation "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." And on top of all that adorableness, the kid can sing.
The coaches were right after Wednesday's performance of "That's What Makes You Beautiful," because they wanted to see something showing more depth and vulnerability on MacKenzie's part. And now we'll never get to see that, America. I hope you're happy.
But thanks for getting rid of Diego, and Nicholas is pretty awesome, so I think I'll forgive you in time.
The Filler:
Told ya, there was a lot of it. Team Adam and Team Blake paired up for an opening performance of "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" and NOTHING will ever make me hate this song. Not even Melanie.
Later, Team Cee Lo and Team Christina sang "Drive By" by Train, and we were reminded that Train exists. But, the song opened up with what I'm called the parade of goodness, with featured vocals from MacKenzie, followed by Cody, then Dez … then Diego, who slid down some slide — seriously, set design, stop being clichéd — and I lost interest.
Adam also took the stage with Maroon 5 to debut a new single, "Daylight" which I think is supposed to be sexy, wistful and romantic, but I just kind of found it arrogant and depressing. I know he's singing about holding his lady all night, loving her passionately, but "in the daylight, I'll be out the door." Jerk move. Don't care how upfront you are about it.
And finally, the last thing to note about the night was a performance from last season's winner, Jermaine Paul, and for a second, I thought he was singing that song from The Wanted ("I'm Glad You Came"), that's how similar the beats were. That's really all I can contribute on this front, because while I hate to be this person, but upbeat anthems that are positive for positivity's sake are mostly lost on me.
And I would be remiss if I didn't bring up Cee Lo's outfit. Like Buddha's pajamas, if Buddha wore jammies. But it paled in comparison to Wednesday night's Patriotic Hipster Grandmother crocheted red-white-blue shawl. God Bless America.

Historically a nation of immigrants, the United States is home to nearly 41 million immigrants, who represent 13 percent of the total population and play a key role in the economic, civic, and cultural life of the country. The research collected here covers many facets of immigration to the United States, by the numbers and how immigrants fare in the country's classrooms and workplaces, the policies and regulations that shape the admission of new immigrants, the enforcement programs and polices in place at U.S. borders and within the interior, and integration policies and efforts taking place in local communities, in states, and at the federal level.
Find relevant MPI resources on the child migration crisis—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in migration of unaccompanied minors to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place. Click here.
The Dominican-born population in the United States has grown rapidly since 1960, and today, the United States is home to 960,000 immigrants from the Dominican Republic. This article provides up-to-date demographic information for Dominican immigrants in the United States, including statistics on distribution by state and metro area, educational and professional attainment, income levels, health care coverage, and more.
The U.S. immigrant population—estimated at 40.8 million in 2012 — is the nation's historical numerical high, and it is also the largest foreign-born population in the world. About 20 percent of all international migrants reside in the United States, even as the country accounts for less than 5 percent of global population. This article presents the latest, most sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—by origin, residence, legal status, deportations, languages spoken, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
The 1.5 million African immigrants residing in the United States in 2009 accounted for 3.9 percent of all U.S. immigrants. MPI's Kristen McCabe examines the origins, socioeconomic characteristics, and legal status of the African-born immigrant population.
Just a fraction of all U.S. employers use E-Verify, a federal system that checks potential employees' immigration status and their eligibility to work. MPI's Marc Rosenblum and Lang Hoyt explore E-Verify's history, how the program works, and the arguments for and against making it mandatory.
Development practitioners have long been aware of the change-making potential of diasporas, but only recently have begun to design programs that convert their latent talent and enthusiasm into results. This article by Tedla W. Giorgis and Aaron Terrazas examines the Ethiopian Diaspora Volunteer Program (EDVP) as a powerful example of how diasporas, donors, and developing countries work together to build from individual strengths and address common challenges facing the developing world.
Nearly 620,000 immigrants — one-third from Mexico, India, the Philippines, and China — became U.S. citizens in 2010. MPI's Anne Nielsen and Jeanne Batalova take a detailed look at the latest naturalization trends in the United States.
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on the recent Supreme Court decision in Chamber of Commerce v. Whiting, the ongoing controversy surrounding states' participation in Secure Communities, the extension of TPS for Haitian nationals, and more.
Since 1970, the immigrant populations from Mexico and Central America living in the United States have increased significantly: rising by a factor of 20 even as the total U.S. immigrant population increased four-fold over the period. This demographic report examines the age, educational, and workforce characteristics of these immigrants.
This report describes the range of policies available to improve immigrants' economic integration through language acquisition, especially those focused on getting immigrants into jobs or moving into higher-paying jobs. It assesses promising models and practices from Europe and North America.
Two competing models for selecting economic-stream immigrants are now prevalent in advanced industrialized economies: points-based and employer-led selection. Increasingly, however, hybrid selection systems are being created, implementing best practices from each selection process.
Drawing on experiences from Asia, Europe, North America, and the Pacific region, this report presents eight strategies that represent best practices developed by immigrant-receiving countries to increase the economic contributions of immigration.
The report examines U.S. immigration and international development policies, which have unique objectives and respond to distinct political and administrative constraints, and points out that international development has never been a U.S. immigration policy objective; nonetheless, it is an unintended consequence.
While aspects of the U.S. immigration system facilitate newcomers' contributions to economic growth and competitiveness, others undermine them. Reforms are needed to enhance the job-creating power of U.S. employers and strengthen the system's ability to select effectively from the large pool of foreign workers.
The exponential growth of international travel since the 1960s has left border management systems worldwide struggling to keep up and has exposed weaknesses in states' abilities to effectively manage their borders, especially regarding terrorist attacks, human trafficking, and illegal migration.
The EU-U.S. relationship is one of the most significant partnerships among wealthy nations. Interconnections between the two on migration issues make dialogue necessary and inevitable, as each relies on each other to attain a number of policy objectives, most clearly in the case of travel and border security.

Not just top 1%; raise taxes on richest 10%
by fairleft, Wed Nov 17, 2010 at 12:04:55 PM EST
While President Obama plans to bipartisanly extend the Bush tax breaks for all but the top 1% or 0.5%, progressives should not get caught up in an "anti-1%" push. Bluntly, this country needs a class consciousness, and let's make this real simple: it's not just the top 1%, the entire top tenth (families making more than $109,000 a year) is on the other side of the line. All of them should be paying much more in taxes. We really need to take a look at this graph (from my diary at myfdl yesterday) again:
(Chart originally here, page 7)
Seriously now, the richest one-tenth of families took in 50% of all income in 2007? That's insane! So NO, these families generally do not deserve to have their Bush tax breaks extended. Hell, instead we should make a major policy push to greatly increase the taxes of the wealthiest 10%.
Conveniently, a great start would be to eliminate the (regressive taxation) cap on Social Security taxes. This would bring in so much extra revenue that we could immediately lower those taxes on the working poor and increase benefits paid to current Social Security recipients. Maybe lower the retirement age for the working poor too. Sound good?!
And, yes, of course, don't forget the truly wealthy, the top 1 and 2%, they desere even more severely increased taxation. But, hey, in the middle of anger at the super-rich let's not ignore the upper-middle-class. They've benefited a great deal from the last 30 years of transfer of middle and working class wealth to the top.
This sort of 'tax the rich and upper-middle-class' regime, by the way, did happen to coincide with the best and most egalitarian economic era in U.S. history, 1945 to 1973. And as you can see from the blockquote (from yesterday's diary again), there's a lot of room for increased taxation if we want to get back to the 1940s to 1960s tax rates on the top 10%:
Lane Kenworthy, January 5, 2009: … both the CBO and Tax Foundation include government transfers in the incomes used to calculate effective tax rates. … but if we want to see how much redistribution is accomplished via taxes [and not] via transfers, it's better to use only market (pretax and pretransfer) income in calculating the effective tax rates[, which] yields the following … [for all taxes, local, state and federal]:
Quintile 1: 31.6% [the poorest 20%]
Quintile 2: 28.1%
Quintile 3: 28.3%
Quintile 4: 28.9%
Quintile 5: 30.1% [the wealthiest 20%]

For a few hours on Saturday, Bay County senior citizens learned a nutritious lesson.
Doctor Michael Stokes was the guest speaker, at Bay Medical Center's free Heart Health Fair.
The cardiologist says many southern foods are not necessarily healthy, not because of what they are, but because of the way they are prepared.
Doctor stokes reviewed a number of popular weight loss diets, and says they all have something in common, understanding what we eat, and making a change from bad food to something healthier.
"I'm hoping that we will remember those and keep those second thing is to improve on some of the things that weren't so good about southern food these folks will go home and start reading more and start being their best teacher and information gather", says Stokes.
Everyone who attended the health fair had an opportunity to have their cholesterol, glucose, and blood pressure checked.

He says it could increase funding the system gets from that state and has nothing to do with proposed school closures.
"This is a separate issue from the closing. This is an effort to recoup FTE's and funding, so it's predicated on the possibility that we can get enough FTE's and students back into the school system to make this concept work," said Youngblood.
Boards members decided to meet with MCLB officials soon to see if they would be interested in exploring the option.
