Older unemployed workers saw welcome gains in the job market in September as employers expanded their payrolls by a higher than predicted 248,000 jobs. The national unemployment rate for people ages 55 and older fell last month from 4.6 percent to 3.9 percent, a bigger drop than the rate for workers overall, the government said. For men ages 55 and older, the jobless rate dipped to 4 percent in September from 4.4 percent the previous month. Last year at this time …

Now that we're past the midyear of 2014, it's a great time to review your retirement savings plan to make sure you're on track. If you're not contributing enough or haven't rebalanced your portfolio since George W. Bush was in office, you have the remainder of the year to make some adjustments. You probably already know that you can sock away as much as $23,000, which includes $5,500 in catch-up contributions for people 50-plus, in your 401(k) plan. However, if you're using …

Most employers realize that age is not a legal – or valid – reason to terminate an employee. That doesn't stop some companies from trying to circumvent the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) by asking terminated employees to sign waivers that promise never to sue for age discrimination. That's what happened to Robert Fisk, an underground miner for Colorado's Mountain Coal Co. Laying off Fisk, an eight-year employee, in 2009, MCC required him to sign a waiver to …

Finally, employers seem to be getting the message that many of their workers have caregiving demands. Increasingly, both nonprofit and for-profit companies are offering workplace flexibility, paid and unpaid leave, and resource and referral services, according to the 2014 National Study of Employers released today by the Families and Work Institute (FWI), along with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). The study polled 1,051 employers with 50 or more employees. "The findings indicate that the issue of family caregiving is on the radar of …

The federal agency that insures private pensions is proposing a rule change that would add greater protection for workers who roll 401(k) money into a traditional pension. Workers for years have been able to transfer money from their employer's 401(k) to its traditional pension plan to buy themselves a bigger lifetime benefit – if the employer allowed it. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation says its new proposal will remove fear among these workers that the amount they roll over from …

In 2011, Wal-Mart was the talk of the nation when a gender discrimination case against the huge discount store chain went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The plaintiffs in the case lost for procedural reasons, not for anything having to do with their discrimination claims. The accusations of gender discrimination have never been disproved, and several of the plaintiffs in the original case have filed new lawsuits. Fast forward to March 2014, and Wal-Mart's in the news …

Jun 13, 2012I've checked this game after watching video from slide to play and I can honestly recommend it. Biscuit quickly became one of my favourite game mascots. Cute, hungry dog that never gets anything sweet and it becomes his obsession? I love it :)! The game itself is basically a runner with sliding, hill hopping and record beating. Even with some similarities to Tiny Wings, Sugar High is fun and addictive game that adds it's own mechanics to great and proven gameplay. And one more thing - it's gorgeous, really.… Expand
Jul 14, 2012Super fun and addictive one more go type of game play with it's intuitive one touch game play.
All played out in some way far out man colourful graphics and catchy soundtrack.
A game that the young ones will certainly find a lot of pleasure with and some old dogs as well will find it's charm hard to resist.
If you love the Tiny Wings type of game play then this is a no brainer.
May 4, 2012A sugary sweet alternative to Tiny Wings that's an animal all its own-- a delicious one.
Apr 27, 2012Sugar High is a competent title in itself, but in its core not much more than a worse copy of Tiny Wings.
Apr 26, 2012It's clearly obvious that Sugar High borrows a little too much from Tiny Wings but it will appeal to those whose Tiny Wings abilities have plateaued and who fancy a new challenge. The new additions to this game make such copying more forgivable, also, as they are fun.

April 8, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) announced that Washington state ports will receive $30.3m for port security efforts across the state this year. The funds, which will now begin to be distributed to state ports, will go toward infrastructure security improvements including chemical detectors, cameras, security gates, access controls, and training and exercises.
"As we work to stabilize our economy and spur investment in Washington state, it is critically important that our ports remain secure and open for business," Senator Murray said. "With millions of containers passing through our region each year, and with thousands of good paying jobs tied to our ports, these grants are critical to ensuring that our state's ports employ the right technology and training methods to help prevent possible attacks."
The funding for these grants was included in the Fiscal Year 2009 Port Security Grant Program. Senator Murray, a senior member of the Senate Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee and a national leader on port security, fought for strong national funding of the Port Security Grant Program.
Senator Murray was a principal author of the SAFE Port Act (P.L. 109-347), which President Bush signed into law in October 2006.
The Port Security funding will be distributed to the following ports in Washington state:
Puget Sound- $26,888,749
Columbia-Snake River System- $3,238,369
Port of Grays Harbor- $208,424
In addition to the Port Security Grant Funding, the Department of Homeland Security announced the following FY 2009 grants directed toward Washington state:
Intercity Bus Security Grant Program- $43,141 to Discovery Tours LLC
Freight Rail Security Grant Program- $75,000 to Puget Sound & Pacific Railroad
Transit Security Grant Program- $2,130,790 to King County Dep. Of Transportation
$829,280 to Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority
Interoperable Emergency Communications Grant Program- $1,185,623
Buffer Zone Protection Program- $600,000
Drivers License Security Grant Program- $1,169,839
Emergency Operations Center Grant Program- $1,000,000 for Snohomish County
$1,000,000 for Thurston County

25 years later, Windsong still growing

Windsong Radiology Group is expanding again, both with new technology and new service lines.
The practice this year completed a technology upgrade that brought 3D mammography or tomosynthesis into all four of its mammography sites. The upgrade began two years ago with the installation of 3D equipment at the main site in Williamsville.
Tomosynthesis is becoming more accepted as the ideal way to diagnose breast cancer in women with dense tissue, said Dr. X. Cynthia Fan, director of tomosynthesis and manager of the research and education department.
"It's a step up from mammogram," she said. "Mammo is just a picture in 2D. When we read the mammo, there's going to be structure overlapped above and below. With the 3D, it's a stack of images with more detail of the breast structure and provides better evaluation of the breast."
Since it's still a newer technology, however, not all insurers cover the procedure.
The practice, which offers services at five locations in the region, also this spring hired a specialist in endovenous therapy and introduced a treatment for individuals with varicose veins. In February, Windsong recruited interventional radiologist Dr. Jason Dana Dunleavy, a former fellow from Johns Hopkins Hospital.
The venous ablation service line comes on top of services for prostate, cardiac and lung CT scan as well as X-ray, nuclear medicine and MRI. Such services are a growing part of overall business, making up about half of all revenue.
Founded 25 years ago, the practice now has 17 radiologists on staff, including founder Dr. Janet Sung, who retired earlier this year but continues to practice part time.

Deep in the recesses of my brain…
a tiny red-hot little flame began to grow.
Something had happened.
A fuse blew and I had gone out of my skull.
I'm telling my dad!
Hey, Ralphie!
Beat him up! Beat him up!
Did you hear what he said?
I have since heard of people under…
extreme duress speaking in strange tongues.
I became conscious that a steady torrent of obscenities…
and swearing of all kinds was pouring out of me as I screamed.

The hotel is lovely. We stayed there the second night of my reservation. Parking is $17 dollars and is in a lot. The housekeepers are very helpful. I was a bit upset about the first day,and their inability to honor my reservation but eventually after an hour everything was resolved and we ended up at a very nice Quality Inn in downtown at their expense. I think the hotel is one of the loveliest I´ve stayed in at that pricepoint its too bad the trouble with reservations and the poor hotels they tried to refer me to the first night sort of marred the experience. ...

Overall? I liked the place. It's old. Like most older locations in and around New Orleans, the rooms and the buildings have a patina. The King-Sized bed was very comfortable. The Shower was hot and the water wasn't Soft. The room had a working Microwave and a 1/3 sized Fridge/Freezer. The TV was an HD LCD Flatscreen with about 60-70 basic Cable stations The decor is well-worn however and needs updating. The Parking is a bit quirky if you're assigned to an overflow parking area located directly behind the compound on Erato St. Also, it's $17 a day to park. The neighborhood it's located in wasn't too bad. There were some typical-friendly NOLA style panhandlers in and around the area. The compound itself had friendly Security folks the were pretty visable and did a great job of guiding obviously lost tourists. The dining selections within walking distance vary from Fastfood joints like Wendys and Popeyes just a few steps away. There's an Irish Pub-Themed restaraunt close by. However, No Shepherds Pie, just applebrandy encrusted fancy-schmancy pricey dishes. The Tavern has good wait staff and killer-fresh afterhours Pub/Bar Faves and Breakfast 24/7 and Dranks y Beers. VooDoo BBQ was okay. Superior Grill is a mile or so up St. Charles. Very good TexMex but a bit pricey. Double Margaritas made with fresh ingredients Lime Juice etc with Top Shelf Tequila were $16 and most entres averaged $15-$20. ...

A good hotel for a good price in New Orleans. The main drawback is that it is about a mile from the French Quarter. It is an easy walk during daylight, but a couple of blocks are a little "iffy" at night. The St. Charles Street Streetcar stops directly in front of the hotel, but although the RTA says that the streetcars run every 15 minutes, we found that it was more like 45 minutes, which could be inconvenient. ...

As the U.S. economy returns to healthier growth, many of us expected long-term interest rates to return to more normal historical levels. But the general trend has been down since the end of the Great Recession. The 10-year rate did jump back up in the spring of 2013. But during most of this year it has been falling again.

What did quantitative easing accomplish?
Roger Farmer has taken a new look at an issue concerning the Federal Reserve's program of large-scale asset purchases (referred to in the popular press as "quantitative easing") that I've been discussing on Econbrowser and in my research with University of Chicago Professor Cynthia Wu for some time.
UCSD graduate program in economics
I saw an interesting statistic in the latest issue of Journal of Economic Perspectives. If you rank North American economics Ph.D. programs in terms of the publishing success of their median student in the first six years after graduating, UCSD comes in second.
Number one? Seems to be Princeton.
Reaching for yield
The unfunded liabilities of the San Diego County Employees Retirement Association have increased every year for the last five years, reaching $2.45 billion last year, more than quintuple the level in 2008. The calculation of how big the shortfall is assumes that the fund is going to be able to earn a 7.75% return on its investment after subtracting administrative costs. If it earns less than 7.75%, the shortfall will be even bigger. A 10-year Treasury bond currently pays 2.4%, and a typical stock has a dividend yield under 2%. So what do you do if you're in charge of the system's $10 billion in assets?
Investment slumps
I was interested to take a look at our recent weak economic performance from a longer-term perspective.
Links for 2014-08-03
Quick links to a few items I found interesting.
Finally, some economic growth!
The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced today that U.S. real GDP grew at a 4.0% annual rate in the second quarter. Hopefully that's the start of something good; but so far, it's only a start.
China's financial risk
Three years ago I called attention to the NYU Stern Volatility Laboratory. Since then it's grown into an even more amazing resource, giving anyone access to constantly updated information about financial conditions in dozens of countries around the globe. Of particular interest are recent changes in their measure of the systemic risk posed by financial institutions.
The Changing Face of World Oil Markets
Here's the introduction to a new paper I just finished:
This year the oil industry celebrated its 155th birthday, continuing a rich history of booms, busts and dramatic technological changes. Many old hands in the oil patch may view recent developments as a continuation of the same old story, wondering if the high prices of the last decade will prove to be another transient cycle with which technological advances will again eventually catch up. But there have been some dramatic changes over the last decade that could mark a major turning point in the history of the world's use of this key energy source. In this article I review five of the ways in which the world of energy may have changed forever.
Below I provide a summary of the paper's five main conclusions along with a few of the figures from the paper.
Keeping oil production from falling
Production flows from a given oil field naturally decline over time, but we keep trying harder and technology keeps improving. Which force is winning the race?

Fed Issues Report on College Credit Card Agreements
November 3, 2010
Banks paid more than $83 million to colleges, universities, alumni associations, and other organizations pursuant to college credit card agreements, according to a new report from the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed). Under the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure (Credit CARD) Act of 2009, card issuers are required to report on such agreements annually to the Fed, which is required to submit an annual report to Congress.
A "college credit card agreement" is defined as "any business, marketing, or promotional agreement between a card issuer and an institution of higher education or an affiliated organization in connection with which college student credit cards are issued to college students currently enrolled at that institution." Additional guidance from the Fed clarifies that an affinity card agreement is covered even if the cards are primarily marketed to alumni or other nonstudents, if the cards could also be issued to students. Thus, when the report tallies the number of accounts opened under these agreements-53,164 in 2009, and more than 2 million opened over the life of those agreements that are still active-it is impossible to tell how many were opened by students.
Only 44 percent of the college credit card agreements were between card issuers and institutions of higher education. One third was with alumni associations, and the remainder involved foundations, other organizations, or more than one entity. On the other side, FIA Card Services, N.A., a subsidiary of Bank of America, with 92 percent of the reported agreements, is by far the biggest player.The report details, by institution or organization, the card issuer, payments made in 2009, accounts opened in 2009, and total accounts open pursuant to the agreement as of December 31, 2009. Issuers were also required to submit copies of agreements, which are now available in a searchable database on the Fed web site. Colleges and universities were required to make any such agreements publicly available last February under a different provision of the Credit CARD Act. That provision did not, however, apply to separate alumni associations or other organizations.

when does PPAF usually return? Question about libido
View Single Post

Mega Super Mommy
Join Date: Apr 2008
Posts: 3,699
Hmmm to answer your 1st question about when AF usually returns~ it's all across the board. I have a friend who was EBF with both of her kids and got AF back at about 2-3 months PP. On the other hand, my son has been sleeping through the night since he was 5 weeks old, has been having solids since 4 months and at 8 months PP I still don't have AF back. There are a few supplements you can take while BFing that *sometimes* can encourage getting AF/your fertility back: Vitamin B6 and Vitex. I've been taking B6 for 3 months with no results and I haven't tried Vitex yet b/c I've heard it can sometimes affect your supply. I'm thinking of trying the Vitex soon b/c otherwise I'm probably going to end up weaning anyway. We really want another baby close in age to our son, and it seems unlikely that I'm going to be able to conceive as long as I'm nursing (or at least not as soon as I'd like)
About the libido, BFing can definitely affect it and I'm experiencing that as well. I've had times of increased libido, but still haven't ovulated.....so I'm not sure if that is a sign of ovulation or not.
Good luck!

Syrup makers go high-tech with wireless monitoringBy LISA RATHKE
and HOLLY RAMER
The Associated Press | April 02,2014Holly Ramer / AP Photo
Maple syrup producer Donnie Richards stands next to sap lines and his wireless radio unit containing sensors that monitor the flow of sap and provide information immediately on a smartphone or tablet computer.Maple syrup production has come a long way from metal buckets hung on trees, but even high-tech operations have had to rely on old-fashioned foot patrols to fix a common problem leaks.
The tubes that draw sap from trees straight to sugarhouses often get pulled down or bent by falling limbs or chewed by critters, meaning sugar makers spend hours and sometimes days stomping through snowy woods to find and fix problems a big time-waster in a sugaring season that lasts just a few weeks.
But now sugar makers are harnessing new technology to keep the precious sap flowing.
Meadowbrook Maple Syrup in Milton installed a monitoring system in January that is already paying off. Designed to help mid- to large-scale syrup producers keep an electronic eye on their sap vacuum lines, the Tap Track system consists of solar battery-powered radio units strapped to trees, with each unit monitoring the pressure on a half-dozen lines.
The data is transmitted to a computer or smartphone, where it shows up as a map with green dots indicating lines with good sap flow and red dots indicating leaks. Users can even get text messages alerting them to problems.
I think its the thing of the future. I really do, said owner Donnie Richards.
In the past, Richards and his crew would have to walk the woods of Milton listening and looking for leaks, which was time-consuming.
And if you didnt find the leak that day, you didnt get sap off that part of the woods all day long, he said.
Now he uses his iPhone to check the system and can immediately see a leak and when it is repaired.
Richards operation includes about 5,000 taps, with about 18 miles of tubing spread out over more than 100 acres. The new system costs $1 to $2 per tap, but inventor Jason Gagne said the return on investment can be seen in one season.
He said the test site of 20,000 taps in Ontario saw a more than 5 percent increase in sap collection, or an extra $15,000.
Gagne, who used to spend days on end patrolling his own sugarbush in Swanton, came up with the idea several years ago, teaming with Canadian sugar maker Doug Thompson to develop the product.
The University of Vermonts Proctor Maple Research Center is using a similar remote monitoring system for the first time this season, as the technology becomes more commercially available. Smartrek, produced by a Quebec company, also monitors sap lines for leaks and provides the information immediately on a smartphone or tablet.
Nationally, maple syrup production totaled 3.25 million gallons last year. Vermont led with 1.3 million gallons, followed by New York, Maine, Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Each of those gallons of syrup required sugar makers to collect 40 gallons of sap.
It takes warm days and cold nights for sap to flow, so the conditions are just right for sugaring for only about four to six weeks. And cold weather has already delayed Vermonts season this year.
But Proctor researchers expect the new system to make their operation more efficient and productive. It will also give sugar makers, who are prone to staying up late to boil sap down to syrup, a few extra hours of sleep, said Brian Stowe, Proctors sugaring operations manager.
We find that a lot of sugar makers get sleep-deprived during the season. (This way) they can take a quick look from their house and then they can go to bed and get some good sleep and not have to worry, Stowe said.
The ideal system would have a sensor at the end of each of the main lines. But that can be expensive for some sugar makers about $200 per Smartrek vacuum sensor and $400 for a tank level sensor so some may start with a smaller number depending on what they want to monitor.
Whether its mine or Tap Track or any of the other systems, the technology is fantastic, said Eric Sorkin, of Thunder Basin Maple Works in Cambridge, who was so impressed with Smartrek that he became a distributor.
In the past, Sorkin said, the only way to increase production was to make sure sap was flowing in the system, and that meant lots of hours spent checking each line.
With these remote monitoring systems, we can effectively lower our labor costs and increase our production, he said.
Gagne described an incident last year when his system showed a leak where a porcupine had cut the line. Just as workers had repaired the break, Tap Track showed another leak.
You could follow the porcupine prints right to the next line where hed cut it, he said. Otherwise, it would have been a few more days before we found those two lines.MORE IN Vermont NewsHYDE PARK A lawyer for a sheriffs deputy who saw a domestic abuse investigation against him...
