Home Repair Contractors
Inspection Estimates, Customer Reviews, Profile Info & More!
Occasionally, various accidents around the home can leave your in home in need of repair. You may be able to repair some small problems yourself, but for large damage you will need a home repair contractor. There are several different types of home repair contractors, and the amount of damage will determine which type or types of contractors you will need to hire.
A handyman does not specialize in any one particular home repair aspect but has a broad knowledge of several different areas. A handyman is the person you would call if your home sustained small amounts of damage to a few different areas. For example, if the plumbing connections in your dishwasher were faulty and caused a small leak that ruined a few square feet of tile in your kitchen, then you could call a general handyman. He would be able to make the simple plumbing repairs to the dishwasher and also remove and replace the damaged part of your floor.
Specialty Home Repair Contractor
A specialty home repair contractor will work exclusively on one area of your home. For more severe damage to one or two parts of your home that might be too much for a handyman, you can hire one or two specialty contractors. If that leak in the dishwasher was more severe and ruined all the tile flooring in your kitchen and some carpeting in the living room, you might need to hire both a plumber and a flooring specialist.
General contractor
The only time you would need a general contractor for home repairs is if the damage was so extensive that you needed the services of numerous specialty home repair contractors. The general contractor would then be in charge of scheduling all the specialty contractors. If a severe storm caused a tree to fall through the roof above your living room then you would need a general clean-up crew, a roofing specialist, a carpenter, a painter, an electrician and a floor specialist to repair such extensive damage.
Parts of your home will suffer some damage from time to time, and when they do you will need to make the repairs. Knowing exactly what repairs you need will help you select the right home repair contractor for the job and get the best rate.

PJ Simas - Diagnosis of a Beautiful Mind
Artist: PJ Simas
Producer: PJ Simas
Album: Triple Play
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 22 total votes )
It's completely and utterly cliché, but true: when you're in love, even the seeming flaws of a person are transformed into marks of beauty. What to do, then, when the object of your affection is unable to see the good in him - or herself – and takes that insecurity out on you? Such is the dilemma faced by Booth newcomer PJ Simas, who presents a "Diagnosis of a Beautiful Mind" on this newly-leaked cut off his latest full-length. Here, the 21-year-old San Luis Obispo resident showcases his skills on both sides of the boards, crafting a downbeat synth-guitar arrangement for his emotionally-charged verses, which find him lamenting his inability to connect with his girl any longer. Though he makes a sincere effort to see things from her perspective, all his attempts are in vain, and the record ends on a note of desperation: "Is this what I deserve? To be harassed as a person, to be told by my boo straight up I don't deserve them." Heavy stuff, too be sure – but I have a feeling all too many will be able to relate to the artist's plight. If you can appreciate this joint's emotionally raw style, more hot beats and real talk await on Simas' Triple Play LP, released April 29, and out now online.

Chris Johnson Talks With New York Jets
Free-agent running back Chris Johnson met with the New York Jets on Tuesday, reportedly spending several hours at the Jets facility and taking a physical. Johnson ended his day in the Big Apple by watching the New York Knicks-Brooklyn Nets game. ESPN says that ideally the Jets would like to get a deal wrapped up by Monday. Johnson, 29, had his best season in 2009, when he rushed for 2,006 yards and 14 touchdowns. He ran for 1,077 yards and six touchdowns in 2013 with the Tennessee Titans.

Why is the ninth month called September?
"extravagantly chivalrous," 1791, from Don Quixote, romantic, impractical hero of Cervantes' satirical novel "Don Quixote de la Mancha" (1605; English translation by 1620). His name literally means "thigh," also "a cuisse" (a piece of armor for the thigh), in Modern Spanish quijote, from Latin coxa "hip." Related: Quixotical; quixotically.

Russ Lande reviews today's workout of punter and place kickers. Russ Lande
1. Caleb Sturgis, PK, Florida, Senior (5110, 184 and 5.00 E): On a day where many of the place kickers and punters struggled with consistency, Sturgis stood out as the most impressive specialist today. He clearly showed the strongest leg throughout the workout. On kickoffs, Sturgis was crushing the ball driving three out of the end-zone. His kickoffs had excellent hang-time, although on some it was tough to gauge a real hang-time as his kickoffs hit the uprights. Not only did he smash the ball on kickoffs, but he displayed excellent leg strength and accuracy on field goals hitting all three 50+ yarders.
2. Dustin Hopkins, PK, Florida State, Senior (6016, 186 and 5.15 E): While not as impressive as Sturgis, Hopkins also had a strong day today. Although his kicking motion was described as odd looking because he had the toes on his kicking foot noticeably upright. He also displayed good length and hang-time on his kickoffs with good placement. In addition to kicking off well, Hopkins leg strength and accuracy allowed him to hit all three 50+ yard kicks.
3. Bobby Cowan, PT, Idaho, Senior (6040, 239 and 5.05 E): As Sturgis stood out amongst the place kickers, Cowan was clearly the best punter today. Cowan showed off a strong leg driving the ball extremely well initially. He blasted three punts over 48 yards with excellent hang time to start, but then lost steam and did not drive the ball as well on the remainder of his punts. In the directional punting drill, Cowan was outstanding to the right nearly putting the ball into the barrel and while he was solid to the left he was not as impressive to that side.
4. Scott Kovanda, PT, Ball State, Senior (6060 E, 333 E and 4.95 E): Following close behind Cowan was Ball State's Scott Kovanda, who also happens to be one of the few punters I have ever come across who was one of the Captains of his college team. Similar to Cowan, he blasted three outstanding punts with very good hang-time to begin workout and then fell off on the rest of his punts. He was strong punting to both sides in the directional punting drill.
5. Ryan Allen, PT, Louisiana Tech, Senior (6014, 229 and 5.00 E): Allen, who won the Ray Guy Award his final two seasons, had a disappointing workout today. While his leg strength was fine, he was not quick kicking the ball. He just looked slow in his punting motion and did not hit great punts.
6. Dylan Breeding, PT, Arkansas, Senior (6013, 211 and 4.69): Breeding struggled with accuracy and touch in the directional punting drill and was just average overall for the day.
7. Josh Hubner, PT, Arizona State, Senior (6040 E, 230 E and 5.00 E): Despite flashing a strong leg, Hubner was very up and down throughout today's workout.

Two iconic American rock groups will share the stage at the Fabulous Forum this summer as Cheap Trick joins Boston for their "Heaven on Earth" tour. Known for their killer pop hooks, Boston sold millions during the '70s and '80s with their catchy version of prog rock. Their self-titled debut was one of the fastest-selling pop debuts in history, spawning three hit singles that became American classics: "More Than a Feeling," "Long Time" and "Peace of Mind." At the same time, Cheap Trick was perfecting the delicate balance between power pop and hard rock that made them a major influence on future punk, metal and alternative bands. Songs like "I Want You to Want Me," "Surrender" and "Dream Police," along with their dynamic live performances, sealed their reputation as arena rock gods. Now, 40 years into their careers, the two bands are still going strong. The "Heaven on Earth" tour is traveling the country in support of Boston's sixth studio album release, Life, Love & Hope, and this is one of a select few appearances where Cheap Trick will be performing with them.

Strategic Planning Update 1/25/13
During academic year 2012-13, the Strategic Planning Committee is seeing the renewal of memberships for new two- and three- year terms of offices. Standing members remain the same while rotating three-year and rotating two-year memberships from all sectors of the College including faculty, staff, schools, governance, PSC and students have been put in place (see membership composition).
As we implement the work for this next phase, two new sub-committees have been added to the already existing sub-committee, extending the work of the SPC:
- TheOversight Sub-Committee (formerly the Action Sub-Committee) will work to assure accountability of the Strategic Planning Committee's Action Plan by overseeing that all divisional progress is taking place;
- The Opportunities Sub-Committee will be charged to continuously survey the College's environment seeking out plausible opportunities for programmatic improvement and change;
- The Outcomes Sub-Committee will be involved in continuous assessment and will coordinate with the College's Outcomes Assessment Committee, as well as, the School's Assessment Committees.
Since its endorsement by the College Senate on February 15, 2011, the implementation strategy has been underway. You will soon notice the public postings of the Mission, Values, and Vision statement throughout the campus. The next steps will be to continue to put into operation the Institutional Action Plans until all actions have been accomplished and assessment has taken place.

Maryland Weekly Fishing Report Overview | June 05, 2013
As we enter the first week of June Chesapeake Bay fishermen are seeing all areas of the bay and its tributaries open to Striped Bass fishing entering the traditional summer season. Freshwater fishermen find almost ideal water temperatures for a wide variety of fishing opportunities and warming water temperatures in the coastal areas are bringing in summer species to the region.
Fishermen are enjoying new fishing opportunities in the lower Susquehanna River this week now that the entire river is open to Striped Bass fishing all the way up to the dam pool. There are plenty of Striped Bass around and fishermen are catching them by casting swim shads, jigs, crankbaits as well as live lining eels and White Perch. The White Perch fishing in the lower river continues to be excellent and most fishermen are casting shad darts, small spinnerbaits or extra heavy spinners. Flathead Catfish are ready to give anyone a tussle near the dam pool on fresh bait or heavy swim shads and Channel Catfish are plentiful throughout the entire upper bay region. White Perch are also plentiful in the other tidal rivers of the upper bay region and can provide excellent fishing opportunities since water temperatures are nearly ideal for shallower areas close to shore. Structure such as old piers, channel edges and hard bottom are all great places to jig, cast spinners or use bottom rigs with bait. The Baltimore Harbor area, Hart-Miller Island and similar areas offer good fishing opportunities this time of the year while water temperatures are still in the low 70's.
There is some Striped Bass action being reported at traditional upper bay chumming locations such as Swan, Love and Podickory Points with some of the better success being found with fresh baits being allowed to sink to the bottom far back in a chum slick. Trolling along channel edges and similar structure is being described as a slow pick for fish in the 18" to 26" size range. The Bay Bridge piers is a good place to start fishing if you're launching a boat near by and the piers, rock piles and the sewer pipe are producing fish for fishermen jigging, chunking or live lining Spot. The inside of Hackett's Bar, which is just below the bridge on the western shore, has been a good place to put together a supply of live Spot this week plus a mix of croaker and White Perch. The outside edge of Hackett's is providing a good place to also live line those Spot for Striped Bass.
Other fishing opportunities below the Bay Bridge include traditionally popular places to live line or jig such as Thomas Point, the Hill and channel edges on both sides of the bay. Eastern Bay continues to hold a lot of bait and jigging over suspended fish or under breaking fish continues to be a good option. The rocks near Poplar Island have also been a good place to cast a variety of lures during morning and evening low light conditions. Trolling along both sides of the bay and Eastern Bay has been good despite the recent May Worm swarms and small to medium sized bucktails and swim shads behind umbrella rigs or in tandem have been effective. Herb Floyd holds up a nice 26" fish caught while trolling this past weekend.

In the middle and lower bay regions fishermen are finding breaking fish along the edges of channels in the bay and lower sections of tidal rivers. Casting soft plastics or bucktails is a fun way to fish and allowing jigs to sink underneath the surface action usually puts one into a larger grade of fish. Bluefish have yet to make the scene in the Maryland portion of the bay so soft plastics are still safe for jigging and trolling. Live lining spot is taking off in a big way this week now that it is relatively easy to find Spot and the 35' deep channel edge out in front of the Gas Docks is living up to its reputation as a great place to live line those Spot. Fishermen should never forget to explore any good looking channel edge or structure wherever they are on the bay or any of the tidal rivers for Striped Bass. The satisfaction of finding one's own secret spot is one of those fun and rewarding facets of fishing. The lower Patuxent River and especially the lower Potomac are reported to be offering good to excellent fishing for Striped Bass by trolling, jigging, live lining or casting.
Black Drum continue to attract the attention of a select group of anglers looking for a heavy duty fight. A soft crab bait continues to be the bait of choice but often prove hard to acquire lately. The traditional areas such as the Sharps Island Flats area continue to be a popular place to give this "drop it on their head" type of fishing but there is always the surprise of hooking up with one of these beasts while croaker fishing.
Shallow water fishing could be described as being at it's zenith in many areas of the middle and lower bay this week. Water temperatures are in the low 70's and Striped Bass are cruising the shallows near points and areas with good water exchange along bay shores and tidal rivers and creeks. Casting swim shads and a variety of other lures is a relaxing and fun way to fish with light tackle. Speckled Trout are a big part of the mix especially on the lower eastern shore with most being 20" or better and Red Drum over 18" have also been a very welcomed addition for some lucky anglers. Jeremy Mercer holds up a nice Speckled Trout he caught on a jig in the Honga River recently.

White Perch are now a big part of the shallow water fishing action around shoreline structure for fishermen casting spinners and jigs whether in a boat or the shoreline. White Perch offer some great fishing opportunities for young fishermen when fishing from docks; often the best fishing is right next to the dock and fishing with grass shrimp on a bottom rig or bobber is hard to beat. Fishing for croaker has improved this week in most areas of the middle and lower bay and they mix in well with White Perch, spot and Channel Catfish; in the lower Potomac medium sized Blue Catfish often out number the croaker.
Recreational crabbers are finding their success improving ever so slowly each week as the season progresses. Small and light crabs are a big part of talk among trot liners and collapsible trap crabbers during this early segment of the season. The best crabbing reports are coming from the lower bay tidal creeks and rivers; especially on the lower eastern shore.
Freshwater fishermen are reporting some fun fishing in many of the trout management waters in the western and central regions this week. The crowds have thinned, water temperatures are still cool and there are trout. Fishermen are still using bait in the put and take areas but many have switched to lures such as spinners to cover more water and maybe entice a big one to strike such as this whopper caught by Ethan Fike at Lions Park Pond in Frostburg while fishing with his dad. His father drove Ethan to the Bassin Box award center in Lavale where Ethan registered his award certificate qualifying trout into the Maryland Fishing Challenge. We hope to see Ethan at the award ceremony on September 7th at Sandy Point State Park and hopefully he may win the boat, motor and trailer prize or perhaps the world destination fishing trip so he can take his father fishing.

This is the best of times for Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass fishermen as ideal water temperatures and post-spawn behavior has fish in an aggressive feeding mood. Fishermen report that shallow grass and structure such as spatterdock fields and brush or fallen tree tops offer great places to try for Largemouth Bass that are poking around these areas looking for small baitfish or crawfish. Topwater lures, spinnerbaits, soft plastics and shallow running crankbaits are all good choices to use. Smallmouth Bass can be found in selected areas of the central region such as the lower Susquehanna River, Liberty Reservoir and Prettyboy Reservoir. Deep Creek Lake and the upper Potomac River hold excellent fishing opportunities for Smallmouth Bass this week in the western region. Tubes, swim shads, crankbaits and live shiners are all good choices for Smallmouth Bass.
Ocean City area fishermen are seeing surf water temperatures rise above 60-degrees this week. Surf fishermen are still catching large Striped Bass in the surf on menhaden or clam baits along with large numbers of Cow-Nosed Rays, dogfish and Black Tip Sharks and a few large Bluefish. A mix of Kingfish, Spot, sea trout and blowfish can be caught on smaller baits. At the inlet and Route 50 Bridge area fishermen are catching some nice large Striped Bass and Bluefish at night on swim shads, Got-Cha plugs and live Spot; during the day flounder, blowfish, small Bluefish and a few Tautog round out the bill. In the back bay areas flounder fishing remains good with a few sea trout and ever present Cow-Nosed Rays taking squid baits.
Sea Bass fishing at the wreck sites remains steady with one or two limits being obtained on each trip on the party boats. Tautog are part of the mix and Fred Brungart of York, Pennsylvania got a surprise last Friday when he brought up what he thought was a big Tautog. It turned out to be a 24lb Cod Fish which is a pending Maryland state record which fills a category that had remained vacant. Anyone old enough to remember winter time Cod fishing in the late 50's may remember fish of this size being common and pool winners often in the 50lb to 60lb class. Hopefully Fred's Cod is a harbinger of a dearly missed fishery that may make a comeback.

Fishermen have been heading out to some of the traditional 30-fathom lumps such as the Hot Dog, Fingers and even the Hambone, which is a little shallower, are catching a mix of Blue Sharks, Makos and Thresher Sharks this week. No real whoppers have been reported yet but there is some action to be had. There is a pending world record mako submission of a 1,325lb specimen caught off of California. For any fishermen there is always that eternal hope that you just never know what you might catch when you cast into the vast waters of the ocean.

Over the course of his career he has studied estuarine fishery populations, ocean species, and over a decade long study of bioaccumulation of chemicals in aquatic species in New Jersey. Upon moving to Oxford on the eastern shore of Maryland; research endeavors focused on a variety of catch and release studies as well as other fisheries related research at the Cooperative Oxford Laboratory. Education and outreach to the fishing public has always been an important component to the mission of these studies.

Crab Report with Oddities
Type: Chesapeake
Region: Mid Bay
Location: South of Kent Island
Tags: Blue Crab, Remora, Horseshoe Crab
This is my first post but I had a couple strange catches while crabbing this past Saturday that I wanted to report. My father-in-law and I crabbed south of Kent Island from 6:30 until 11:30 and managed a full bushel of 70 crabs. Nothing huge but half were 6 to 7 inches and the other half were 5 1/4 to 6. The strange catches were 2 horseshoe crabs and an18" striped remora (unfortunately I didn't get a picture. We use mostly 30" hoop traps and it got stuck in the netting) I guess that the horseshoe crabs could indicate the salinity is up in that area (along with LOTS of jellyfish). I know remoras usually hang with large sharks and other such creatures so I was really surprised to see that one without thinking that maybe a large shark could have been in the area.
DNR Response: Small Remora are an uncommon visitor to the Chesapeake Bay and can swim freely or even hitch a ride on a sea turtle and of course sharks. Small Cobia are also found in the bay this time of the year and look very similar except they lack the suction disk on the top of their head. Salinities in the mid bay area right now are about 11.5 ppt on the surface and 19 ppt on the bottom which is about normal for this time of the year. Horseshoe Crabs are not uncommon in the bay up to the Bay Bridge.

I really like the table and chairs and they were easy to put together. It adds a touch of handsome sophistication to my kitchen area and is functional and aesthetically pleasing.
However, there were small knicks on 2 of the chairs and the table top. Plus, two screws that were installed in the bottom of the table top had been stripped upon receipt.

Concrete barriers in Kalihi parking lot cause problems for driversPublished 10:27 PM HST May 01, 2014
Concrete barriers blocking off stalls in a Kalihi parking lot are causing problems and a lot of confusion for drivers.Video Transcript
New tonight- Most of us have experienced a parking nightmare or two--- but wait until you see this parking situation in Kalihi. KITV4's Brenton Awa has the story that's leaving a LOT of people scratching their heads. 16-29 103-107 132-136 On an island where parking can come at a premium... Residents -- businesses -- and... anyone looking for a spot to pull-in are left in dis- belief when they pull-up to this sight. 330 - STU - MIKE "IT WAS AN EYESORE BEFORE WHEN IT WAS JUST GRAVEL AND PEOPLE USED IT TO DUMP, BUT NOW IT'S BACK TO BEING ... LOOK AT IT NOW. IT'S NOW ANOTHER EYESORE." Mike Irish runs his business just up the street on Robello lane... He's still baffled at why the city would barricade a newly paved parking lot that he says everyone in the area has benefited from. And it's more than just parking... Irish and others say this lot used to be run-down and littered with drug activity. 107 - STU - MIKE "NOW WE FEEL SAFE... BUT BEFORE? OH NO IT WAS... WE WERE REALLY WORRIED AND WE MADE SURE NONE OF OUR PEOPLE CAME DOWN TO THIS END OF ROBELLO LANE AND JUST STAYED MORE UP BY OUR SHOP." The owner of this building says he spent around 30- thousand-dollars to clean up the area and pave the lot... Only problem... This parcel's not his -- it's owned by the city -- who says the improvements are illegal. 223 - REX DISK - ROSS "PUBLIC PROPERTY IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED BY ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL OR ANY GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS FOR ANY PERSONAL GAIN OR PERSONAL BENEFIT." In this case -- it was the building owner making money off of renting stalls. That's when the city stepped in. 53 - REX DISK - ROSS "THE BARRIERS WENT UP TO CURTAIL THE UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITY AND THEY'LL REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL SUCH TIME THERE IS A NEED TO REMOVE THEM." Still -- some residents say they don't mind paying to park... Especially when these barriers have led to damages of their cars. 1935 - STU - TAN "IT'S HARD, IT'S HARD BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHY ... THE OTHER DAY MY NIECE BANGED THE POST." Those who use these stalls want the barriers removed and they hope to work with the city to find a solution. 514 STU - MIKE "I THINK IT COULD EASILY BE A WIN WIN FOR EVERYBODY AND I'M HOPING WE CAN COME TO THAT TYPE OF CONCLUSION." One solution that the city says its exploring is doing a story term lease of the land so someone could temporarily operate a legal parking lot. Another option would be selling the land but the city says it has yet to put the property up for sale. That would have to be approved by the City Council first. If it goes that route -- the city expects to complete the sale by the end of the year.

There is another beautiful story about one strange mystic woman, Rabiya al Adabiya. She used to pass from the marketplace every day just to purchase some vegetables, some fruits for herself. Just in the middle of the marketplace was the mosque. She never went in, she never used to visit the mosque, she never participated in any kind of religious ritual. She always saw a man who later on became a great friend and disciple of Rabiya - his name was Hassan - praying in front of the mosque every day, a very heartfelt prayer, tears rolling down from his eyes, hands raised toward the sky - and he was calling just like a lost small child for the mother. He was always saying only one thing: "Open thy doors! How long are you not going to take any note of me? I am crying, I am calling! I am dying without you! I cannot live without you! Open thy doors!" Perhaps he was following Jesus' advice: Knock and the doors shall be opened unto you.
Again and again Rabiya has heard this man Hassan crying, weeping, shouting. One day she came behind him, hit him on the head. Perhaps Hassan thought that God has come, but what kind of coming? - from behind and hitting him on the head? And he looked, and this strange woman was there. And he knew about this strange woman - everybody was aware of her strange ways.
She shouted at Hassan and said, "Stop all this nonsense! The doors are always open. But you are a fool. You don't look at the open doors; you simply go on calling, 'Open the doors!' How can he open when the doors are already open? Just look!"
It was a transformation. For half a moment Hassan was shocked. Sometimes the shock can become an opening, because when you are shocked your thinking stops. For a moment he forgot all his prayer, all his searching. For a moment he was at a loss what to say.
At that very moment Rabiya laughed and said, "Do you see? It is already open! There is no need to cry and call for God to open it. He has never closed it."
Since then Hassan was not seen at the mosque door. Since then he disappeared in the communion of Rabiya. Finally he became a great mystic, a realized soul, a buddha himself.
Lao Tzu also says: "Seek and ye shall never find it; do not seek and right now you have found it."
Seeking implies the seeker, and the seeker is the ego, and the ego is the only barrier; the ego can never become the bridge.
Hence I say to you, the love that exists between a master and a disciple is not a relationship, it is dissolution of all relationships. It is a totally different phenomenon. It is not part of the world of your so-called relationships: husband and wife, mother and child, brother and sister. You cannot reduce it to any definition, any defined relationship; it is a very diffused phenomenon.
It is like two candles burning in a room, their light will become one. You will not be able to draw a line, you will not be able to separate the two lights, you will not be able to say which light belongs to which candle. In the love of a master and the disciple there are not even two candles either. The light is there, penetrating each other; there are no candles either. It is simply an orgasmic merging of two lights.
Hence, the first thing to be remembered, it is not a relationship, so how can it be established? That word established is ugly. Anything established becomes dead; anything established means; now there is no opening, no growth possible; things have settled.

Sunday evening, July 5th, was a beautiful evening so my son and I embarked on an almost 3 hour bike ride on the Oak Leaf Trail. We started at the Menomonee River Parkway and Congress Street (North of Capitol Drive and West of Hwy 100) and got picked up at the intersection of Howell Ave. and Oakwood Road. It was a beautiful bike ride where at times you thought you were way out in the country with beautiful fields and parks everyone.
My biggest disappointment however is that the condition of the Menomonee River Parkway from Congress Street south to Burleigh is nearing impossible for a bicyclist to ride safely. It was by far the worst stretch of the Oak Leaf Trail that we rode on out of over 25 miles. It is truly treachorous.
Has anyone else noticed lately the nice, new stone creations and landscaping in the boulevard on Lisbon Ave.? Well, I have and I would sure rather have that money go to repaving the MRP which is used by hundreds of bicyclists and pedestrians daily. Please, let's move this up on the priority list before someone gets hit by a car while trying to avoid the potholes. Can't Wauwatosa make some noise with the County to get this road fixed?!

U.S. Economy: Payrolls Drop, Unemployment at 6.1%
By Shobhana Chandra
The U.S. lost more jobs than forecast in August and the unemployment rate climbed to a five- year high of 6.1 percent, a sign that the economic slowdown is worsening two months before Americans elect their next president.
Payrolls fell by 84,000 in August, and revisions added another 58,000 to job losses for the prior two months, the Labor Department said today in Washington. The increase in the jobless rate sent the misery index, which adds unemployment to inflation, to 11.7 percent, the highest level since 1991.
The deteriorating labor market raises the likelihood the Federal Reserve will postpone any increase in interest rates until next year, futures trading shows. Today's figures increase the risk that President George W. Bush will become the first president since Richard Nixon to oversee two recessions, and may hurt fellow Republican John McCain's campaign to succeed him.
''It certainly increases the probability that we really are in a recession,'' William Poole, former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. ''It is a weak number, including the revisions.''
Yields on benchmark 10-year Treasuries rose after dropping earlier to a four-month low of 3.55 percent, and were at 3.65 percent as of 12:03 p.m. in New York. The Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index fell 0.6 percent to 1,229.86.
Workforce reductions at companies from UAL Corp. to Gannett Co. are adding to the woes of Americans hurt by lower home values, scarcer credit and higher prices. Separate figures today showed that mortgage foreclosures accelerated in the second quarter to the fastest pace since at least 1979.
Election Looms
Today's report is the penultimate look at the job market before the Nov. 4 U.S. election, with McCain vying with Democratic candidate Barack Obama to take the White House. McCain yesterday addressed the Republican Party convention, pledging to ''keep taxes low'' and rein in unnecessary government spending.
''This hurts McCain,'' said Daniel Clifton, head of policy research for New York-based Strategas Research Partners. ''He's going to get a bounce in the polls after the convention, but it could be less because of this,'' he said, referring to the increase in unemployment.
''Americans are hurting and we must act to create jobs,'' McCain said today in a statement. Obama, in a statement, said ''today's jobs report is a reminder of what's at stake in this election.''
Keith Hennessey, Bush's national economic council director, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television that he remained ''an optimist'' about the prospects for growth. ''We hope'' the payroll readings ''will improve going forward,'' he said.
Economists' Forecasts
Payrolls, which have now fallen for eight months, were forecast to drop 75,000 after a previously reported 51,000 decline in July, according to the median estimate of 76 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. The jobless rate was projected to remain at 5.7 percent.
Factory payrolls dropped 61,000 after decreasing 38,000 in July, with most losses coming in the auto industry.
Today's figures indicate the labor market is deteriorating faster than U.S. central bankers expected. Among Fed governors and district bank presidents, none projected an unemployment rate above 6 percent for the average in the fourth quarter.
Traders see the Federal Open Market Committee keeping the benchmark target rate for overnight loans between banks at 2 percent through year-end, futures show. The chance of a cut in December is 13 percent, up from zero a week ago, with the probability of an increase at just 2 percent, down from 20 percent a week ago and 43 percent in July.
Mortgage Rout
Rising unemployment may make it harder for Americans to keep paying their mortgages. The share of loans with one or more payments overdue rose to a seasonally adjusted 6.41 percent of all mortgages, the Mortgage Bankers Association said in a report today. That's the highest since their data began in 1979.
The Labor Department report also showed the effects of the housing slump and the credit crisis that it triggered. Payrolls at builders fell 8,000 after decreasing 20,000. Financial firms trimmed payrolls by 3,000 for a second consecutive month.
Service industries, which include banks, insurance companies, restaurants and retailers, subtracted 27,000 workers after cutting 12,000 in July. Retail payrolls fell by 19,900 after a drop of 18,100.
'Clearest' Signal
''We're losing jobs in all kinds of industries now,'' Roger Kubarych, chief U.S. economist at UniCredit Global Research in New York, said in an interview with Bloomberg Radio. ''This is the clearest recessionary signal we've seen.''
Government offices hired 17,000 after an addition of 6,000 in July. That meant private payrolls fell by 101,000 in August.
Today's report brings the total decline in payrolls so far this year to 605,000. The economy created 1.1 million jobs in 2007.
Employment is among the indicators tracked by the National Bureau of Economic Research, the official arbiter of U.S. economic cycles, in calling a recession. The others are sales, incomes, production and gross domestic product.
The group defines a recession as a ''significant'' decrease in activity over a sustained period of time, and usually takes six to 18 months to make a determination.
Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the economy, in July posted the biggest drop in four years after inflation.
Goldman's Forecast
The economy ''is close to stagnating,'' Jan Hatzius, chief U.S. economist at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in New York, said in an interview with Bloomberg Radio. In part because of continued gains in worker productivity, employers will keep cutting jobs, sending the unemployment rate to 6.75 percent next year, he said.
The average work week remained at 33.7 hours. Average weekly hours worked by production workers fell to 40.9 hours from 41 hours, while overtime decreased to 3.7 hours from 3.8 hours.
Workers' average hourly wages rose 7 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $18.14 from the prior month. Hourly earnings were 3.6 percent higher than August 2007. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had forecast a 0.3 percent increase from July and a 3.4 percent gain for the 12-month period. Average weekly earnings increased to $611.32 from $608.96.

Shakira Lists Miami Mansion For $14.95 Million
July 31, 2013 3:00 PM
Shakira's got moves, and now she's on the move!
The Latin singer just listed her Miami mansion for $14.9 million after purchasing it back in 2001 for $3.38 million. Not a bad investment!
The new mom's longtime stateside home is located in a posh gated community and is a waterfront property. The abode boasts 6 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, in addition to a dock, swimming pool, and poolside cabana.
The international pop superstar added a 1,700 square-foot three bedroom addition to the place after she bought it, hence the spike in the listing price.
Boyfriend Gerard Pique is based in Spain, so we have a feeling we know where she's looking to buy next!

Poor recent results notwithstanding, West Indies' chief selector is convinced his players need to be given more rope
Garth Wattley
June 28, 2012
Related Links
Players/Officials: Clyde Butts | Chris Gayle | Kieran Powell
Series/Tournaments: India A tour of West Indies | West Indies tour of England
Teams: West Indies
When he played, Clyde Butts learned the value of being patient and enduring blows. It is how, as Guyana's offspinning trump card, he became the leading wicket-taker in the West Indies first-class competition before Mahendra Nagamootoo overtook him. As chairman of the West Indies selection panel, he finds himslf having to do the same once more.
Last Sunday afternoon, he would have watched, without pleasure, the senior West Indies side succumb to England for the fifth and final time on tour - in the one-off T20. Sunday evening at the Queen's Park Oval, it seemed as if the A team would offer him some respite. Having limited India A to 154 in the second match of their T20 series, West Indies had victory firmly within their grasp up to the last over.
Jamaican opener Nkrumah Bonner, 23 years old, with two senior T20 appearances already behind him, was still at the wicket. He had controlled the innings beautifully in a knock of 82. Then, with just three more runs to get, he lost control, slashed at Ashok Dinda and got a top edge. By the end of the over, West Indies A were still one short of victory, Christopher Barnwell having flashed at and missed three balls in a row. In the end, the win never came; India A turned around a near-loss in the one-over Eliminator.
There must have been a scowl and a bemused shake of the head from the chief selector. It was like a reprise of the third ODI against Australia in St Vincent three months ago, when Darren Sammy and Kemar Roach ended up on the same side of the pitch when they needed just one run off three balls. Finishing the job, and becoming the finished product, remains a seemingly insoluble problem for West Indian players. And a constant worry for those who manage them.
The enthusiasm Sammy's team whipped up in the Caribbean because of their play during Australia's visit dissipated rather quickly when the ODI and T20 matches in England failed to produce a single victory. In fact, Sammy's side left England with exactly the same record in the Test and ODI series that Chris Gayle's charges achieved in 2009 on that hastily arranged tour, which WICB CEO Dr Ernest Hilaire so often cites as a contrast to the way this current team plays - 2-0 losses in both Test and ODI rubbers.
West Indies A's surrender of last Sunday's game meant that two-match series was drawn; but foibles as those shown in that last over are the sort that prevent West Indies from achieving parity with international cricket's stronger teams. They have also made the Caribbean public increasingly restless and demanding of change.
Butts understands this, but he also appreciates that they are no quick fixes. "Every player has his own [pace] of coming through," he says. "Some take longer, so it's really a difficult thing to say you can give a player X amount of time or X amount of games. What we as selectors are trying to do is give players a fair chance to come through."
The patent lack of experience in the West Indies top order was exposed against Test cricket's best bowling attack this summer, but Butts is optimistic. "With Chris Gayle back, I think we'll see a difference in terms of the approach of the front line. There is no doubt in my mind that experience will help the younger players to come through."
The coming weeks, during New Zealand's visit, will prove how solid that theory is. The last 17 years of West Indies cricket do not suggest quick adjustments will be made. Chairman Butts, however, sees things differently.
|The enthusiasm Sammy's team whipped up in the Caribbean because of their play during Australia's visit dissipated rather quickly when the ODI and T20 matches in England failed to produce a single victory
"I think quite a few of those players [given opportunities] have adapted very well to what has happened over the past year. You are seeing players starting to build on their cricket. Of course, sometimes you are disappointed with how players go from time to time...
"I think they are going to come through for West Indies in the future, and one of the things we have to be careful of as selectors [is] if we chop and change, what happens? We go back again to the players we have tried over the years and keep rotating? You are investing in young players, you have to give them the chance to establish themselves."
Kieran Powell, the 22-year-old stroke-making opener from Nevis, is one of the investments Butts and his fellow selectors have made. He averaged just over 14 against England but returned to the Caribbean to make 139 and 56 not out against India A in the third and deciding unofficial Test in St Lucia to set up victory.
"Being in a West Indies team set-up, I think there is no doubt he's starting to learn, and I definitely think he's going to be a good player for us in the future," Butts says.
The West Indies board has invested afresh in an A team programme in recent times. Powell, Darren Bravo and Kirk Edwards are three first-teamers who have come through as a result. Their limited success at the highest level thus far, however, does not by itself say too much for A team cricket. Most of those series have been in the familiar environment of the Caribbean. Butts wants the programme to extend further overseas.
"I think when you talk about outside, you are talking more or less about South Africa and Australia. I definitely feel we need to go to those areas to learn the conditions, the different types of pitches that they play on. I think it would help us tremendously - there is no doubt about that."
He adds for emphasis: "There is no doubt in my mind that West Indies cricket is going in the right direction at the moment." As chairman, Butts must believe that, results notwithstanding. He and colleagues Courtney Browne and Robert Haynes will need to keep playing the patience game. And hope their faith is not misplaced.
