"that the S&P 500 is up a cool 60% since he took office."
Which benefits far more than just the 1%ers, because the retirement/pension funds of most "workers" in the Baby Boomer generation is at least partially invested in the US equity market.
BARACK OBAMA'S re-election hopes were dealt a setback by Mitt Romney's relentless attack on his economic record at Wednesday's presidential debate. Today, he got a lifeline from an unlikely source: the economy.
In September, the unemployment rate plunged, unexpectedly, to 7.8%, from 8.1% in August. It was the first time it fell below 8% since January, 2009, the month that Mr Obama took office. More important was the reason it fell: not because people were quitting the labour force, but because they were finding work, by remarkable numbers.
Non-farm payroll employment rose by 114,000, an unremarkable number in itself and pretty close to Wall Street's expectations. But the two prior months were revised up sharply. Payrolls rose 142,000 in August and 181,000 in July, a cumulative 86,000 more than first reported. That, however, is not the full story. The Bureau of Labour Statistics measures jobs two ways: the well-known payroll survey of employers, and the lesser-known survey of households, which yields the unemployment rate. According to that latter survey, the number of people with jobs skyrocketed by 873,000 in September from August. That is the largest gain since January, 2003. January figures are often distorted by annual revisions to assumptions about the size of the population. You have to go back to 1983 to find a monthly gain this big outside January.
Let's take this with a grain of salt. The household survey numbers are extremely volatile, and September's gain in part merely makes up for two large drops in prior months; reality is somewhere in between. Moreover, the gains in payroll employment, for a change, got a big hand from government; state and local jobs have climbed a relatively hefty 72,000 in the last three months. That's a welcome reversal from the shrinkage of previous months, but not as solid a sign of revived animal spirits had the gains all come from the private sector, a point that Mr Romney's camp will no doubt make.
Nonetheless, it's worth noting that the last three months now look quite a bit better than we thought just 24 hours ago. Employment has advanced an average of 146,000 per month in that time according to the payroll report, and by 186,000 according to the household report. The proportion of the population that now has a job is at 58.7%, the highest since May, 2010.
Sectorally, the gains were concentrated in health care, transportation and warehousing, and finance. Manufacturing employment dropped, which corroborates weakness in factory activity that may reflect the slowing global economy and worries about a recession if politicians don't move the year-end "fiscal cliff".
This will be a pleasant surprise for Mr Obama, who can now claim net job gains of 325,000 over his term once annual benchmark revisions are incorporated. But it is not a game-changer. People's attitudes about the economy have been improving for a few months but are hardly at the sort of level that can allow Mr Obama to claim vindication for his policies. And today's good news could easily be followed by more bad news in the coming weeks. It's been like that for four years.
Note: Some people are wondering why there are two such divergent numbers on employment. The reason is that there are actually two job surveys. One is based on asking establishments how many people are on their payroll, which initially covers roughly a third of all payroll employment. The second is based on asking households how many people in their family are working; the sample covers less than 1% of the population. Normal statistical variation guarantees that the two typically produce different results, though this month's difference was larger than usual. In addition, the two define employment differently. If somebody works two jobs, he will be counted twice by the payroll survey but just once by the household survey. The household survey counts domestic workers and the self-employed; the establishment survey does not. When the two diverge, you should put more weight on the establishment survey because of its larger sample size. As I note above, the big gain in the household survey this month in part is payback for unusual declines in the prior two months. That said, variance between the two in the last year has been small. The BLS estimates that in the last 12 months, payroll employment is up 1.8m while household employment is up 2.6m. Most of that gap, roughly 700,000, is due to definitional differences. If you adjust household employment to follow the payroll definition of a job, it's only up 1.9m. So the gap between the two is a relatively slim 95,000 over that period.

@Pleasureless: Neither Mr. Obama, nor Sec'y Clinton, nor Amb. Rice "was hiding" anything concerning Benghazi. In fact, quite the opposite, they conducted themselves very professionally and competently in the matter, while Mr. Romney, by contrast, immediately took to the airwaves before any of the facts were actually known, in order to criticize the President before the world (and quite unfairly, I'll add). We call that TREASONOUS CONDUCT in most places.
Only a fool would claim that Romney had the better of the argument over the issue of the Benghazi attack.
Oy vey! Your delusions about the "progress we've made under 0bama..." is what's truly stunning.
The government report is total political hog swill! The idea that the USA suddenly created nearly 900,000 jobs in a month requires total suspension of belief. Obama is simply putting out a report attempting to move the recent poll reports, and will issue an "adjustment" shortly after the election. Figures don't lie, but politicians can figure!
It is interesting that neither this article or the comments that I read below, keyed on the makeup of these jobs reported being created. They were largely (in the range of 70%) part time jobs. Not exactly anything to be proud of if they were created.
The latest unemployment figures offer real support for Mr. Obama and his Administration's policies. Over and above the obvious – namely, that declining unemployment is a good thing! – something should be said about labor force participation and the number of workers looking for work who are only marginally employed.
In societies which rely on pastoralism or sedentary agriculture as the predominant source of national income (e.g., much of Africa and South Asia, today), having many children means having a stable and captive workforce which can be plied to tending crops or animals, making a father rather rich with time, in comparison with his childless neighbors. But the introduction and growth of modern mechanized agriculture has put an end to this pattern of development almost everywhere else, and even in Africa, today, a plummeting proportion of the people make their living directly, any more, from the land. The intrinsic rate of population increase and, with it, the level of fecundity, is dropping quickly, even in Africa, let alone elsewhere.
At some point, heterosexuals become disinterested in having kids, because they realize increasingly that having kids is a very expensive luxury, and they'd really rather do something else with their time and their money.
In the US, today, the birth rate is rather low in comparison with places like Africa (how many women have more than 2 children, anymore??). America does continue to increase in population, yes, by about 150,000 per month, currently. But much of this is actually due to immigration (a good thing, overall). Many other places, like Italy and Russia, could only dream of such a happy circumstance.
The current rate of new nonfarm job formation is over 107,000 per month in the US, based on the trailing 12-month median rate. The correspondingly higher -->average<-- numbers for the last few months indicate a positive acceleration in the rate of job formation. This means that, while we're still not producing enough new jobs to account for immigration and natural population increase, that situation, too, will turn around in short order.
Within the coming year, to a certainty, the US economy will be steadily producing more than 200,000 nonfarm jobs per month, most of which will be full-time jobs, not merely temporary or part-time jobs. The unemployment rate will drop closer to 5% with time.
This picture is complicated, however, by long term trends in labor force participation (i.e., the percentage of all working-age persons who make themselves available to work). The American LFP rate rose from a low of 58.5% just after World War II to an all-time high of 67.3% in early 2000 at the end of the dot-com boom. Since then, and throughout the Bush years and, now, the first Obama Administration, the LFP rate has declined and, at times, rather quickly, to the current level of 63.6%. This is due both to the fact that the US population has been increasing (increasing the denominator), that more people are deciding to do something else with their time than work (e.g., retire -- the proportion of elderly in our society is growing more quickly than the number of young people!), and because the available jobs require skillsets that increasingly many Americans simply don't have (did YOU pay attention in high school?).
A related factor is the growing importance of technology in the workplace: More and more of what used to be done by unskilled hands is now no longer necessary at all. The flip-side of ever-increasing productivity is an ever-declining number of open job requisitions for those lacking high-tech skills. This has the effect of discouraging the less-well-educated and convincing them to give up looking for work or, alternatively, causing them to re-enter school and, so, abstract themselves from the labor force.
Lately, the Republicans have been blaming Mr. Obama for the numbers of workers that have given up looking for work or who are only marginally employed. But this is largely due to the Great Recession of 2008 and its very demoralizing aftereffects, on the one hand, and on much longer-term trends in the LFP rate, on the other, for which the President is hardly responsible and on which he has no influence in any event.
The real jobs picture, then, is rather much brighter!!
At a population of 310 million people , even with an historically low population growth rate at an estimated 0.7%, the U.S. population grew by at least 180,000 people in September.
Therefore, even accepting the most optimistic estimate of the U.S. jobs growth of 140,000 jobs added in September, the unemployment rate in the United States must have increased.
Any other conclusion must therefore be fraudulent. Demographics can't explain it, since Baby Boomers are staying in the workforce longer and thus increasing, not decreasing the eligible workforce.
The games being played by the Obama-directed Bureau of Labor statistics are simply criminal. We all know that the labor statistics are arrived at via small sample "survey" questions, and the estimates of part-time employment and labor force participation rates are subjectively made by Obama-directed bureaucrats, so it should come as no surprise whatsoever that the "miracle" dip below 8% was reported today.
Jack Welch had it right when he said, "Unbelievable jobs numbers..these Chicago guys will do anything..can't debate so change numbers,"
After being elected few years ago, Obama had the large task of giving jobs to his voters for the next term he had of 4 years. Results being published few weeks ago, the statistics actually show a decrease of the unemployment rate which comes in as a huge relief for the democratic party of President Obama. As the elections being not too far ahead, this gives confidence to the population that Obama didn't do a bad job after all and maybe by re-electing him, they could find themselves with more jobs and a stronger economy for another 4 year. We will have to see closely how the results will go about since many predict a hot election between the two parties, although Obama is currently in favor with this big statistic announced. I really think Obama can win and it would be a huge relief to see that all the work he has done for the people of America is recognized and they re-elect him to show their trust in him.
I honestly hope Biden is upto it.
Also, I think Matthews was outraged at how Obama let Romney off the hook with his lying.
He was at the debate in Denver and probably just could believe what he was seeing which led Jon Stewart to make the comment - "Obama see what you've done - You Broke Chris Matthews!"
Yes the miracle plunge in the unemployment rate by changing and using less accurate data and ignoring the fact it plunged because people stopped looking for work.
This is not a lifeline, it is a joke. The chief Obamunist has already lost. As long as people know others who have no work or are suffering, Obama will never win. This has been true for every president attempting a second term and losing. Each lost because the country sucked at the time and the people were directly suffering for it.
Bottom line is when things go bad or are bad the party in power takes the blame for it and the democrats are about to be handed pink slips. They should have learned from 1993 that overreaching into ultra socialism is a sure way to lose power.

must be benefiting well from the public trough to be that twisted
There's always underemployment, in every recession, recovery, and boom. There's always the headline unemployment number, and then the higher one including underemployed or discouraged workers. This is not unique to this president or this time.
And many folks give up looking for jobs because they decide to retire instead. With the baby boomers where they are this is a big reason for the drop in labor force participation. Again, nothing regarding the president.
You should move to Egypt, and live in denial.
I found a pretty informative piece by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (http://www.frbatlanta.org/filelegacydocs/HOTCHKISS-final.pdf)
from 2005 which predicted that 91,000 new jobs a month would be adequate to accommodate natural population growth and maintain a constant unemployment rate in 2010 based on demographic trends.
Given reports of 114,000 new jobs per the payroll report it's not unreasonable for the rate to decline. The 0.3% decline seems large to me, but is possible if the number of discouraged workers has increased and - something I have not seen reported - if a significant number of illegal immigrants have returned to their homelands due to diminished job prospects here. I suspect the diminished illegal worker population would have an out sized effect on the household survey in comparison to the payroll survey as many of them are not employed in positions where their legal status can be checked as easily as it can be on payroll reports.
I believe the government is making up new labor statistics. There is no way that adding 114,000 new jobs could decrease the unemployment rate from 8.2 to 7.8 percent. that is impossible. this is cooking the books.
The only thought a leftist is capable of is projection, as Shokai has proved.
Republicans talking about adding numbers - Cute!
This jobs report of 7.8% unemployment rate not only looks good for the country but solidify the President's arguement that his policies definitely is working and must not go back to the policies that wrecked the U.S economy under his predecessor George W. Bush. The trejectory of the job market has been showing momentum for the last thirty month's adding over 5.2 million new private sector jobs and as the policies of the Prsident taking affect shall steadily bring the job numbers to 6.2% by the second quarter of 2013 what if the new congress will do everything to cooperate with the President. That means the Republicans has to put their partisanship behind and work for the common goods of the country.
You might want to re-read paragraph two. The one that notes that the change was not due to people leaving the labor force.
In fact, as the table on your link shows, labor force participation went up for the month. Not a huge reversal of the trend at this point. But it rather belies your statement that it "continues to trend down."

Now that Easter is over, you're probably planning, or at least thinking of, Summer vacation. If the beach is your thing, you'll want to check out
Trip Advisor's Top 25 American Beaches
. No, Beaver Island and Wendt Beach didn't make the cut. But I bet you've been to at least a few of these. Two of these (#3 and 22) are big time hangouts for Buffalo Snowbirds, and RLITM actually lived jsut across the inlet from beach #23 for a few years in the 80's.
An awesome pictorial that will get you thinking about Summer!

The show opens with a glitzy Lindy Hop/Charleston type number. I like how they're integrating the troupe this season. They're not constantly telling us about the troupe, like previous seasons – they just dance in the opening and the bumpers and after a while you might notice, "Hey, that Gleb is pretty good" or whatever. Also, Sasha is featured strongly in this number which makes me think he's going home tonight. Or he choreographed it. Nope, Tom says it was choreographed by the Schwimmer siblings.
There's a new twist tonight where the dances are going to dance side-by-side. We'll see how that goes. Bill and Emma are up first, and they're shocked that Mark and Christina went home last week. This week, they are dancing a tango to "Cheeseburger in Paradise" by Jimmy Buffet (which Emma calls "Beefburger in Paradise" by Jimmy Buff-ay. This is going to be a tough sell, since this is such an upbeat song and the tango is really aggressive. They do a whole skit that I didn't really need where they argue about who's going to get the cheeseburger. But the actual dancing is pretty good. Bill's posture is great. Near the end, they have a series of turns and Bill seems a little lost or at least concerned about his footwork.
Judges? Len thought it had a lot of content and was overall well done. Bruno says there was plenty of beef on top but a little cheesy underneath, with some timing issues. Carrie Ann points out that his steps are too big, and that's where he gets into trouble, but she loved the performance. Scores: Carrie Ann 8, Len 8, and Bruno 7.
Elizabeth and Val were hoping for 10s last week, and didn't get them. So this week with the cha cha, Val wants to showcase her powerful and sexy side. Elizabeth gets emotional talking about how she made Showgirls and it flopped, and she thought she'd never dance in public again. Elizabeth looks great, and confident, and beautiful. Her technique is good, although she overdances a few times and slips. I thought there could be more cha cha and less spinning, but what do I know?
Judges? Bruno tells her that she's still got it, and it was sexy, clean, and sharp. Carrie Ann loves that Elizabeth has been gracious and learned from their critiques, and calls her a "white panther." Len thinks Elizabeth and Val are a formidable partnership, and consistently good. Scores: Carrie Ann 10, Len 10, and Bruno 10. First perfect score of the season. It was deserved, although I'm surprised that Len didn't ding them for not having more cha cha content.

Attacks and destroys odors at the molecular level with Oxyions!
The new WhitetailR ScentPURGE series destroys both bacteria-generated scent like sweat and germs and non-bacteria scents like cigarette smoke and detergents, that attach themselves to clothing, gear, and vehicles. These budget-friendly units naturally and quickly oxidize and eliminate the actual chemicals that cause odors, down to their very molecular level with the use of Oxyions
Oxyions are a blend of naturally deodorizing negative ions and activated oxygen (O3), produced in the same proportions as found in nature. The activated oxygen (O3) portion is nothing more than natural oxygen (O2) with an additional oxygen atom that is unstable and must seek out microorganisms in human scent and alarming odors. When it finds these agents, it binds and oxidizes them, leaving behind only pure oxygen (O2). The scent is gone!
Place it in your clothing storage totes, lockers, vehicles or your hunting camp tent just to name a few. So, when you have the need to kill unwanted scent in a confined area in order to keep it and its contents scent free use our ScentPURGE products. The ScentPURGE 35 does just that in an area up to 35 square feet. Runs on AAA batteries, optional 12 VDC for your vehicle or 120 VAC adapter kit.

U.S. homebuilders are gradually growing more optimistic about the depressed housing market and believe homes sales could pick up sharply at the beginning of 2012.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo said its builder sentiment index rose for a fifth straight month in February to 29, up from 25 in January. The index has climbed 15 points since September and is now at its highest level since May 2007.
Builders have generally become more hopeful during that stretch about current sales, sales six months out, and foot traffic, the report shows.[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3" title="Related stories"]
Even with the brighter outlook, the industry has a long way to go. Any reading below 50 indicates negative sentiment about the housing market. The index hasn't reached 50 since April 2006, the peak of the housing boom.
A key reason homebuilders are more optimistic is they are seeing more people express interest in buying a home. And rising interest has occurred alongside other improvements that suggest the troubled housing market could pick up after four weak years.
Sales of previously occupied homes rose in December for a third straight month. Mortgage rates have never been lower. And home construction picked up in the final quarter of last year.
Still, home prices continue to fall, and builders keep slashing their prices to stay competitive. Last year was the worst for new-home sales on records dating back to 1963.
New homes make up a small portion of housing sales. But they have an outsize impact on the economy. The builder trade group says each new home built creates an average of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in taxes.
Builders are struggling to compete with foreclosures, which have forced down prices of previously occupied homes. And many people are finding it hard to qualify for loans or meet higher required down payments.
Low appraisals are scuttling some deals after contracts have been signed. As a result, some people who want to buy a new house are holding off because they can't sell their home.
Those in a position to buy are benefiting from lower prices and mortgage rates. The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage is at record lows below 4 percent. Yet those factors have done little to boost home sales.
Builders have pointed to some regional pockets of strength. New Orleans, Pittsburgh and other smaller areas of Texas, in particular, have reported increased buying.

Answers sought after bomb squad leaves Fitzwilliam
A resident on Perry Road called the police department around 1:30 p.m. to report that what looked like explosive devices were inside their home, Fitzwilliam police Sgt. Len DiSalvo said Tuesday.
"It was later determined they were deemed not hazardous," DiSalvo said, however, it appears the devices were intended to be explosive or hazardous in some way.
"There are a few people that are being looked into," he said.

Gmail marked the email for this new story as spam…
Oh the irony :)
Thursday night and checking Facebook on my mobile before going to sleep. One of my friends is complaining about how hard it is to use Yahoo mail abroad. Problem logging in and now there's some problem with the account. "Your E-mail account has exceeded its limit and needs to be verified, if not verified within 24 hours, we shall suspend your account. Click Here to verify your email account now." And when you try to resolve it, it doesn't even work. You just end up on the login page! Damn Yahoo!
Stop! This message is not about a problem with the mail system, it's a very typical phishing mail. I responded with a warning, and yes, the link had indeed been clicked and the credentials entered on a page that looked like the Yahoo login page. That made my friend a phishing victim like so many other Internet users. It was the beginning of a long night trying to figure out how to change the mail password using a tiny mobile screen. But the case came to a happy end. The password was apparently changed before the attackers had a chance to take benefit from the account, thanks to the swift reaction.
How to spot a phishing attempt?
My friend is not a computer newbie, and did in theory know all this. But the attack succeeded anyway. How is this possible? Imagine that it is late in the night and you are tired. There are other people distracting you. You are traveling and really depending on your mail account. And on top of that, you have had problems and expect even more trouble with this operator. So this is a very typical situation where the fingers can be faster than the brains. This is really the optimal situation for an attacker to hit, and they happened to send this phishing mail at the
right wrong time. Honestly, are you sure this couldn't happen to you?
Ok, so what should I do to avoid being phished?
As a practice, examine the link above and try to figure out where it points and what company it belongs to without clicking it.
Safe surfing,
Phishing @ Wikipedia.
Phishing is the act of attempting to acquire information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money) by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. Communications purporting to be from popular social web sites, auction sites, online payment processors or IT administrators are commonly used to lure the unsuspecting public.
Many techie terms in the headlines lately. Supercookies, supertrackers, HTTP headers and X-UIDH. If you just skim the news you will learn that this is some kind of new threat against our privacy. But what is it really? Let's dig a bit deeper. We will discover that this is an issue of surprisingly big importance. Cookies are already familiar to most of us. These are small pieces of information that a web server can ask our browser to store. They are very useful for identifying users and managing sessions. They are designed with security and privacy in mind, and users can control how these cookies are used. In short, they are essential, they can be a privacy problem but we have tools to manage that threat. What's said above is good for us ordinary folks, but not so good for advertisers. Users get more and more privacy-aware and execute their ability to opt out from too excessive tracking. The mobile device revolution has also changed the game. More and more of our Internet access is done through apps instead of the browser. This is like using a separate "browser" for all the services we use, and this makes it a lot harder to get an overall picture of our surfing habits. And that's exactly what advertisers want, advertising is like a lottery with bad odds unless they know who's watching the ad. A new generation of supercookies (* were developed to fight this trend. It is a piece of information that is inserted in your web traffic by your broadband provider. Its purpose is to identify the user from whom the traffic comes. And to generate revenue for the broadband provider by selling information about who you really are to the advertisers. These supercookies are typically used on mobile broadband connections where the subscription is personal, meaning that all traffic on it comes from a single person. So why are supercookies bad? They are inserted in the traffic without your consent and you have no way to opt out. They are not visible at all on your device so there is no way to control them by using browser settings or special tools. They are designed to support advertisers and generate revenue for the mobile broadband provider. Your need for privacy has not been a design goal. They are not domain-specific like ordinary cookies. They are broadcasted to any site you communicate with. They were designed to remain secret. They are hidden in an obscure part of the header information that very few web administrators need to touch. There are two ways to pay for Internet services, with money or by letting someone profile you for marketing purposes. This system combines both. You are utilized for marketing profit by someone you pay money to. But what can and should I do as an ordinary user? Despite the name, this kind of supercookies are technically totally different from ordinary cookies. The privacy challenges related with ordinary cookies are still there and need to be managed. Supercookies have not replaced them. Whatever you do to manage ordinary cookies, keep doing it. Supercookies are only used by some mobile broadband providers. Verizon and AT&T have been most in the headlines, but at least AT&T seems to be ramping down as a result of the bad press. Some other operators are affected as well. If you use a device with a mobile broadband connection, you can test if your provider inserts them. Go to this page while connected over the device's own data connection, not WiFi. Check what comes after "Broadcast UID:". This field should be empty. If not, then your broadband provider uses supercookies. Changing provider is one way to get rid of them. Another way is to use a VPN-service. This will encapsulate all your traffic in an encrypted connection, which is impossible to tamper with. We happen to have a great offering for you, F-secure Freedome. Needless to say, using Freedome on your mobile device is a good idea even if you are not affected by these supercookies. Check the site for more details. Last but not least. Even if you're unaffected, as most of you probably are, this is a great reminder of how important net neutrality is. It means that any carrier that deliver your network traffic should do that only, and not manipulate it for their own profit. This kind of tampering is one evil trick, throttling to extort money from other businesses is another. We take neutrality and equal handling for granted on many other common resources in our society. The road network, the postal service, delivery of electricity, etc. Internet is already a backbone in society and will grow even more important in the future. Maintaining neutrality and fair rules in this network is of paramount importance for our future society. Safe surfing, Micke PS. The bad press has already made AT&T drop the supercookies, which is great. All others involved mobile broadband providers may have done the same by the time you are reading this. But this is still an excellent example of why net neutrality is important and need to be guaranteed by legislation. (* This article uses the simplified term supercookie for the X-UIDH -based tracker values used by Verizon, AT&T and others in November 2014. Supercookie may in other contexts refer to other types of cookie-like objects. The common factor is that a supercookie is more persistent and harder to get rid of than an ordinary cookie.

If you like sailing and tall ships, I can recommend this podcast about Pam Bitterman's book Sailing to the far horizon. It's a great story about the last years of the community-operated ship Sofia, covering both a lot of happy sailing and the ship's sad end in the early eighties. But this is not about hippies on a ship, it's about how we record and remember our lives. In the podcast Pam tells us how the book was made possible by her parents saving her letters home. Perhaps they had a hunch that this story will be written down one day. Going on to state that e-mails and phone calls wouldn't have been saved that way. That's a very interesting point that should make us think. At least it made me think about what we will remember about our lives in, say, twenty years? We collect more info about what we are doing than ever before. We shoot digital pictures all the time and post status updates on Facebook. We are telling the world where we are, what we are doing and what we feel. Maybe in a way that is shallower than letters home, but we sample our lives at a very granular rate. The real question is however how persistent this data is? If we later realize we have experienced something unique enough to write a book about, have our digital life left enough traces to support us? Pam wrote the book about Sofia some twenty years later. A twenty year old paper is still young, but that's an eternity in the digital world. Will you still be on the same social media service? Do you still have the same account or have you lost it. Does the service even exist? And what about your e-mails, have you saved them? How are your digital photos archived? You may even have cleaned up yourself to fit everything into a cheaper cloud account. Here's something to keep in mind about retaining your digital life. Realize the value of your personal records. You may fail to see the value in single Facebook posts, but they may still form a valuable wholeness. If you save it you can choose to use it or not in the future. If you lose it you have no choice. Make sure you don't lose access to your mail, social media and cloud storage accounts. That would force you to start fresh, which usually means data loss. Always register a secondary mail address in the services. That will help you recover if you forget the password. Use a password manager to avoid losing the password in the first place. Redundancy is your friend. Do not store important data in a single location. The ideal strategy is to store your files both on a local computer and in a cloud account. It provides redundancy and also stores data in several geographically separated locations. This is easy with younited because you can set it to automatically back up selected folders. Mail accounts have limited capacity and you can't keep stuff forever. Don't delete your correspondence. Check your mail client instead for a function that archives your mail to local storage. Check your social media service for a way to download a copy of your stuff. In Facebook you can currently find this function under Settings / General. It's good to do this regularly, and you should at least do it if you plan to close your account and go elsewhere. Migrate your data when switching to a new computer or another cloud service. It might be tricky and take some time, but it is worth it. Do not see it as a great opportunity to start fresh and get rid of "old junk". If you are somewhat serious about digital photography, you should get familiar with DAM. That means Digital Asset Management. This book is a good start. Pam did not have a book in mind when she crossed the Pacific. But she was lucky and her parents helped her retain the memories. You will not be that lucky. Don't expect your friends on Facebook to archive posts for you, you have to do it yourself. You may not think you'll ever need the stuff, just like Pam couldn't see the book coming when onboard Sofia. But you never know what plans the future has for you. When you least expect it, you might find yourself in a developing adventure. Make yourself a favor and don't lose any digital memories. Safe surfing, Micke


text: Mysterious Mexican Army border incursion by John Hayward 8 Mar 2014 Share This: Vladimir Putin isn't the only one who can slip a few armed men across an inconvenient border. Buzzfeed has a big story about a possible Mexican Army incursion into Arizona. It's a big enough deal to have Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) on the case: Just before 8:30 a.m. January 26, two figures dressed in camouflage and carrying military assault rifles crossed an international border, making their way on foot through the quiet desert terrain, unaware that they were under the constant watch of authorities in the country they had just entered. Within minutes a border patrol agent confronted the two men. Weapons were drawn. Asked for identification, the two men provided their names — which didn't correspond with the names on their uniforms. After a brief, tense standoff, the two men retreated back across the border just as reinforcements were arriving. Senator Coburn asked Customs and Border Protection if they've got any further intelligence on these guys - were they really Mexican soldiers? Cartel enforcers with Mexican Army hardware? Real soldiers working on the cartel payroll? Thus far, CBP hasn't been forthcoming with much beyond a fairly relaxed incident report, even though the report suggests those Mexican troops might have been thinking about escalating the encounter before more Border Patrol units arrived. There's a lot more coming across our porous southern border than coyotes lugging truckloads of aspiring "undocumented Americans." And you really don't want to be an innocent American civilian who runs afoul of cartel killers armed with military weapons.

This article appeared in the January 10th issue of insidehighered.com: http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2012/01/10/report-stresses-civic-learning-strengthen-democratic-process. It highlights the importance of civic engagement for students who must learn social and political processes.
One year ago this week, SVC was selected for the 2010 Community Engagement Classification on the Carnegie
Classification list. This is a prestigious acknowledgement of the work the College has undertaken to bring to students a greater awareness of their civic responsibility. The selection committee wrote the following about SVCs selection: "Your application documented excellent alignment among mission, culture, leadership, resources, and practices that support dynamic and noteworthy community engagement, and you were able to respond to the classificationframework with both descriptions and examples of exemplary institutionalized practices of community engagement. You also documented and coordinated evidence of community engagement in a coherent and compelling response to the framework's inquiry."
Among the programs that promote civic responsibility as well as a greater social and political awareness are the College's First-Year Seminar emphasizing service learning, Quest for Success; the College's newly designed Comparative Religions course, emphasizing religious pluralism and co-taught by SVC's professors as well as clergy from Bennington's Inter Faith Council; and the forthcoming course, entitled "Philanthropy: Investing in the Community," in which students will learn about the culture of giving and the value of philanthropy in collaboration with the Bank of Bennington.
Service learning, community engagement, and civic responsibility are all attempts to describe the value added to an SVC education–highlighting, as the insidehighered.com article does, the social and political acumen such attempts promote.

The Flourish program is dedicated to helping LGBT and questioning students thrive at Stanford. Programs hosted by Flourish! mentors focus on health, wellness, and resilience. The Flourish! team welcomes queer and questioning students to Stanford, helping them to develop strong support, social and academic networks. The year begins with New Student Orientation, with a panel event for queer students, an open house at the Fire Truck House, and a Queer and Questioning Women's luncheon. During the fall, a special frosh and transfer program help students new to Stanford acclimatize to their new campus community. This takes place through lunches that introduce many resources available on campus through guest speakers and panels; they also provide a safe and open space for discussions around sexuality, coming out, family and dorm life, stereotypes, relationships, academics, and mental health. The year's two student mentors also aim to create a community that helps LGBTQ+ and questioning students feel welcomed, supported and encouraged during all their years on campus and are happy to meet with any student to talk things through. Other campus resources devoted to health and wellness include:
- Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)
- Vaden Health Center Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Resources
- Sexual Health Peer Resource Center
- Office of Religious Life
- Bridge Peer Counseling Center
- Department of Public Safety

Under the watch of the Virgin of Guadalupe, a 15-day-old baby girl lies on the family's bed made out of wood and cardboard in Batopilas, Mexico, Saturday, Oct. 6, 2012. Her mother, Maria Reyes Lopez Ortiz, 21, said they still had not named the baby. The town, at the bottom of Batopilas Canyon in Chihuahua, was once a popular tourist destination. With the drug war crisis affecting the area and the rest of the country, tourism has come to a standstill. "It's a hugh crisis for Batopilas. Tourism supports a lot of people. It's very severe and the government can do very little," said city administrator Rafael Gastelum.

The companies were recognized for a partnership to assist Orange and Osceola County Public Schools' homeless students.
ORLANDO, Fla. — Massey Services and Dollar Tree, operator of $1 price-point variety stores, were recently honored by the Central Florida Hotel and Lodging Association (CFHLA) for a partnership to assist Orange and Osceola County Public Schools' homeless students.
Massey Services and Dollar Tree have been working together for years and joined forces to collect personal hygiene items for the more than 4,500 homeless children who attend schools in the two districts. Over $23,000 worth of soap, toothpaste, deodorant, and other hygiene items were collected. Donation boxes with signage encouraging contributions were placed in more than 40 Central Florida Dollar Tree retail stores. In addition to the donations received from Dollar Tree, Massey Services' team members and other commercial customers also contributed items to the drive. Massey Services collected and transported the donations to the school districts' Homeless Services Department, who will sort, categorize and distribute these items to the Orange and Osceola's homeless students.
"This is an example of how our relationship with Orange County Public Schools is not just about business but extends to supporting students and people in our community who are less fortunate," said Tony Massey, president and COO of Massey Services. "We would like to thank Dollar Tree and all of their customers who contributed to this effort. These donations allow us to provide basic care items that are often taken for granted and make a difference in the lives of many children."
Dollar Tree spokesperson, Chelle Davis, adds "We are honored to participate in this program and thank our customers for their generous contributions."
The donation drive is part of Massey Services ongoing commitment to the Adopt-A-School program. Earlier in the year, Massey partnered with Adopt-A-School's participant Killarney Elementary to reward students for outstanding work completed in the Massey Math Miles program.
