Unemployment reaches lowest point under Obama
By Freddie Allen
WASHINGTON — After receiving poor marks for his performance in his nationally televised debate with Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, President Obama received a much-needed boost from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' report showing that unemployment fell to 7.8 percent in September, the lowest it has been in nearly four years.
The September report, released last week, is significant because, unlike in previous months, the rate did not drop because "discouraged workers" dropped out of the labor force.
Not all of the news was encouraging. Even though the unemployment rate for Blacks dropped to 13.4 percent in September from 14.1 percent in August, it remained relatively flat for Black men (14.2 percent in September vs. 14.3 percent in August).
The unemployment rate for white men decreased from 6.8 in August to 6.6 percent in September. The jobless rate for white women ticked down two-tenths in September to 6.3 percent. Black women saw the biggest decrease in the unemployment rate among adults, falling from 12 percent in August to 10.9 percent in September.
Although the September numbers are not in for Michigan and Detroit, specifically, the August reports are just as discouraging. The BLS reported that the unemployment rate for Detroit rose 0.5 percentage points in August to 10.7 percent. For the same month, the metro unemployment rate was 1.3 percentage points higher than the Michigan rate.
In 2009, Detroit's unemployment peaked at 16 percent and is now 5.3 percentage points lower. From a post peak low of 9.2 percent in April 2012, the unemployment rate has now grown by 1.5 percentage points.
Economists said it's still too early to celebrate. The unemployment rate, calculated using household survey data (60,000 households), is considered a more volatile measure than the actual number of jobs added that relies on a much larger sample size. The establishment survey, used to measure the number of jobs created, includes 141,000 businesses and government agencies.
Even though 114,000 jobs were added in September, many of them were part-time, low-wage jobs and not nearly enough to keep pace with population growth, according to economists.
"It's a very mixed picture. I wouldn't say that we've turned the corner, but I would say that unemployment rate is down some, but we still have a large amount of people working part-time for economic reasons," said Wilhemina Leigh, senior research associate at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a public policy think tank.
The 14.2 percent unemployment rate for Black men is more than double the rate of white men.
Experts point to lower academic achievement and higher interaction with the criminal justice system as reasons to why Black men struggle with greater rates of unemployment when compared to other groups.
The Department of Education reported that 33.1 percent of Black men that attend college actually graduate, while 44.8 percent of Black women earn degrees.
According to Education Trust, an organization focused on closing the opportunity and achievement gaps for minority students, 63 percent of jobs will require a post-secondary degree by 2018.
"The pool of possible Black people that have college degrees will have more Black women than Black men," said Wilhemina Leigh. "The odds just become greater that a Black woman will get picked for a job."
For many Black men, the same set of circumstances that will prevent them from voting in the Nov. 6 presidential election also block their ability to earn a living wage.
"A felony conviction is like an economic death sentence," said David Bositis, a senior research associate at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies.
The number and types of jobs are significantly reduced for ex-felons, said Bositis. Even though some companies have special programs to help ex-offenders return to the job market, they can't keep pace in some southern states where 20 percent of Blacks have prior felony convictions.
Republicans, who have hammered Obama for an unemployment rate that exceeded 8 percent until last month, are now attacking the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the source they relied on earlier to pummel the president.
Former General Electric CEO Jack Welch, a Republican, Tweeted, "Unbelievable jobs numbers … these Chicago guys will do anything … can't debate so change numbers."
Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., and other Republicans made similar comments.
Heidi Shierholz, an economist at the Economic Policy Institute, an independent Washington, D.C.-based think tank, said Republican outrage over the unemployment rate was strictly political.
"Those claims are outrageous and they would not be made by serious people," said Shierholz.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is staffed by career employees, not political appointees.
"(The jobs numbers) are all within the margins of the murky economic environment that we're in. Some of the measures go up a little some of the measures go down a little," Leigh said.
"The broad message is that we're in a recovery and we're adding jobs," Shierholz said. "We continue on this steady, but slow recovery. There's some optimism about the decline in the unemployment rate, but it's still too early to see."

- "You idiot. Do you even know who I am? The most recognized scholar on the Dwemer in all of Tamriel, and you people keep bothering me! I... I'm sorry I... I got too excited."
- ―Calcelmo[src]
Calcelmo is an Altmer Conjurer who can be found in Understone Keep where his nephew, Aicantar, helps him in the laboratory. He has a great interest in the Dwemer and is the author of many scholarly works about them.
Calcelmo owns the Dwemer Museum and has been excavating Nchuand-Zel. As a scholar of Dwemer history and culture, he has written several books about them, including Dwarves, v1, Dwarves, v2, and Dwarves, v3. He also is an expert on the Falmer, having deciphered most of their language.
Bring a Dwarven item to CalcelmoEdit
After the Dragonborn buys the first piece of the Dwarven armor set, or the first Dwarven weapon, including Dwarven Bolts and arrows, a courier shows up with a Letter from Calcemo asking for one to be brought to him. Finding, stealing, looting, or crafting an item that Calcelmo would normally be interested in does not trigger the courier.
When the item is taken to Calcelmo in Understone Keep, it can be sold to him through dialogue. Calcelmo may be persuaded to pay more. However, if the dialogue option, "Not good enough. I'll hold onto this. You'll need to find another one," is chosen, that particular deal will be cancelled and can never be re-initiated.
Bring an execution hood to CalcelmoEdit
During the Dark Brotherhood questline the Dragonborn will be taken to the Abandoned Shack, where one of the prisoners in the shack may be killed. An execution hood can be taken from the corpse. If the hood is sold to a vendor then purchased back, the Dragonborn will receive a note from a courier saying that Calcelmo would like to buy the hood, similarly to a Dwarven weapon.
Delivery to CalcelmoEdit
When talking to Kerah, she will ask the Dragonborn to deliver a ring to Calcelmo. Afterwards, the ring may be bought from Calcelmo.
Hard AnswersEdit
In order to gain access to the Dwemer Museum, the Dragonborn must have Calcelmo's permission either through Speech, by having helped Calcelmo with a previous quest (see below), or by pickpocketing the key from him. Alternately, the door can be lockpicked.
Nimhe, the Poisoned OneEdit
Calcelmo will give the keys to both the museum and the dig site if the Dragonborn defeats Nimhe. Nimhe is a large frostbite spider that is inhibiting the progress of the excavation of Nchuand-Zel.
The Book of LoveEdit
The Dragonborn is sent to help Calcelmo confess his love for Faleen, the Housecarl in Understone Keep.
The Lost ExpeditionEdit
Calcelmo grants access to Nchuand-Zel after the Dragonborn kills Nimhe.
- Ancient Falmer Tomes
- The Betrayed – The translation of Unknown Book, Vol. I.
- Journal of Mirtil Angoth - The translation of Unknown Book, Vol. II.
- Diary of Faire Agarwen - The translation of Unknown Book, Vol. III.
- Touching the Sky - The translation of Unknown Book, Vol. IV.
- Calcelmo's Stone and Calcelmo's Stone Rubbing.
- "What are you doing here? The excavation site is closed. I don't need any more workers or guards.'"'
- "I have things to study, what is it?"
- "The artifacts I've discovered in Nchuand-Zel will make history one day."
- "I used to travel so much before all this Forsworn nonsense. Such an inconvenience..."
- He is voiced by George Coe, the same actor who voiced Tolfdir and Calixto Corrium.[1]
- Calcemo's offering price of Dwarven items seems to be based on the base price of the item, which means it is better to sell non-enchanted items to him rather than enchanted ones.
This section contains bugs related to Calcelmo. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
- When bringing a Dwarven item to Calcelmo, after he is asked for a better price, the conversation may be exited after a successful persuasion, therefore resetting the conversation, while still improving the Speech skill. This may be exploited for virtually unlimited level increases in Speech.
- PC Calcelmo may sell his own ring when asked for what he has for sale.

LOS ANGELES A weeping juror was dismissed Thursday for committing misconduct during deliberations in the public corruption trial of six former officials of the suburban city of Bell.
The woman admitted she looked up information online and had her daughter search out a definition of what would constitute coercion by other jurors.
An alternate juror was later placed on the panel and Superior Court Judge Kathleen Kennedy ordered deliberations to start over.
The defendants are charged with misappropriation of public funds for giving themselves huge salaries and nearly bankrupting the tiny city in southeast Los Angeles County.
On Monday, the fifth day of deliberations, after a three-week trial, the woman identified only as juror No. 3 asked to be dismissed, saying she was being harassed for her opinions. The judge asked her to go back and try to get along.
On Thursday, with the jury reporting it had reached an impasse, one juror sent a note saying the woman told panelists she had called her own attorney for advice.
The judge summoned defendants and lawyers to her courtroom and asked juror No. 3 to explain her actions. The woman, who was verging on tears, said she never actually called a lawyer.
She buried her face in her hands and cried. "Am I in trouble for this?" she asked.
"There's no reason to be upset," the judge said. "That's why we have alternates."

WILSON, N.C. – The upcoming corn harvest is looking good for some eastern North Carolina Counties.
The expected yield is 185 bushels per acre for Wilson County, which extension agents say is very good since the area normally does about 100 bushels per acre.
Farmers say timing of rainfall is key with the crop.
"The corn crop is going to be right decent here. You know, some people plant corn later than we do and some people plant corn earlier than we do and it's all about the rain and we've just been blessed enough to have the rain come at the right time," said Kevin Gardner, of Gardner Farms in Wilson County.
Farmers say drought out west has severely affected corn crops in other parts of the country.
The harvest in Wilson County will begin in 20 to 30 days.

The night before last, in a fit of curiosity, I cross-posted my essay Surviving Cancer, Surviving Affairs on Salon's new blogging/social-networking platform, Open Salon. I've been a long-time Salon reader, so I was curious to test-drive this new feature. My post somehow caught the eye of Salon's editor-in-chief, Joan Walsh, who quoted a lengthy excerpt in her column.
All of which was kind of cool, but since the excerpt didn't include the part where I said "that doesn't mean it was right" for John Edwards to cheat on his wife, a lot of letter-writers who responded to Joan Walsh's column felt that she and I were making excuses for him.
So I'll just say it one more time, with feeling: He done her wrong. John did not have Elizabeth's blessing to go outside the marriage. Her statements make clear that she was deeply, deeply hurt.
At the same time, I'm still frustrated by the dominant but simplistic trope of "what kind of a monster cheats on a sick spouse?" For those who've never experienced cancer or other serious illness, it may be hard to imagine how illness and its aftermath can mess with people's heads and hearts. Otherwise decent people can make hurtful decisions when they're not thinking or feeling straight. This goes for patients and caretakers alike.
Moreover, sexual infidelity is only one possible form that failure and betrayal can take. I have not slept with anyone other than my husband since I married him, 14 years ago to this day. I believe he can truthfully say the same. And yet, we've both failed each other in a variety of ways, as long-term partners inevitably will. Most of these failures occurred in the aftermath of illness. By now, we're back in a pretty good place, but it took work. It took us recommitting to each other again and again.
In that light, John Edwards' behavior looks wrong but not incomprehensible. It's harder to see him as Evil, though we may still see him as weak. He's not inhuman. He's just human.
And if we acknowledge that, then we have to inject a little humility into the three-ring-circus of judgmentalism. We have to let his family and his higher power judge his private misdeeds.
As for his public misdeeds, I purposely didn't address them in my original post. I chose to "write what I know" because I thought I could shed a different light than most of the commentary I'd read, and because I wanted to engage a conversation on relationships and serious illness. That doesn't mean I believe the political questions are trivial. On the contrary! I just thought others were covering the political side much more thoroughly.
As more facts and questions have come to light, though, I'm becoming increasingly concerned that l'affair Edwards might dog the Democratic Party through the rest of this election cycle. So, for the record, here is how I think it genuinely affects the public interest.
First, there's the question of whether the affair began before Rielle Hunter was hired. Some sources suggest this was the case. If so, then Edwards can fairly be accused of misappropriating campaign funds in hiring her.
Second, we know that Hunter has received millions of dollars, ostensibly to help rebuild her life after harassment by the tabloids. To me, this goes a tad beyond the call of kindness. (We should all have such generous friends in our lives!) Again, if any of this money came from political contributions, whoever is responsible needs to be held accountable.
Third, it was unquestionably reckless for Edwards to run for president with a major skeleton in his closet. In an ideal world, voters could distinguish between private behavior and public competence. But in America, they don't. And so the philandering politician lies. And then he gets caught. And then half of America is shocked at his sexual activities, while the other, purportedly more liberal half, cries: "It's not the sex! It's the lying!" – never mind that the lies were about entirely private (albeit foolish) behavior. Yeah, it's politically immature of us. But that's how things work in America, and Edwards knows this; he's too savvy a politician to claim naivete. He knew full well that if his affair became public, his chances at the presidency would be toast. And so he not only wronged Elizabeth, he also deceived his supporters and put the future of his party at risk. Imagine if he were the presumptive candidate right now!
Fourth, I'm suspicious about why Rielle Hunter is refusing to allow a paternity test to be conducted. Could it be that she's being paid off on the condition that she continues to refuse testing? This would allow John Edwards to act innocent – he's agreed to be tested – without putting him at any risk.
All of these unanswered questions are at least a distraction from Obama's campaign efforts. At worst, they may become a drag on the Democratic party, including the down-ticket races. I assume Edwards went public now in hopes of averting a big blow-up closer to November 4, but if he has failed to come clean – or worse, appears to be harboring more secrets – his grand confession will have been for naught.
And then there's one other thing that's bugging me, which is in a totally different register. Why does so much of the commentary revolve around the question of "why men cheat"? Sure, very, very few female politicians have been caught out in sex scandals. But garden variety affairs normally require two partners, and very often both are married. The statistics on infidelity are not terribly reliable, but on average they seem to show about a ten percentage-point gap between married men and married women. So why do we cling to this narrative of faithless men getting it on with desperate/victimized/conniving single gals?
I guess that loops back to my original frustration with the simplistic stories we Americans want to tell ourselves about that complex and mysterious thing, marriage.

QOTW - Districts Cutting Sports Because of Economic Issues
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 01-25-2012 - 4:29pm
We are currently going through this here in Texas, this is a school district that has recently had severe economic and academic issues.
|Wed, 01-25-2012 - 5:38pm
First of all, you need to understand that in education, the progressives and traditionalists have been duking it out since public education began.

Frankly, it's about time. I'm not saying I think it's "good" or "right" to cut atheletic programs but considering that only about 3 highschools in our entire county (and it's a huge one) have an orchestra and more and more have cut their bands, I don't really feel so sorry for the volleyball team. Many of the schools in our city district (which is the 6th largest I believe) don't offer any arts programming at all... no dance, theatre, visual art, music... nothing. Of course, the first schools to lose it are in areas where the children have the least chance of getting such experiences outside of school. Perhaps cutting the sports teams will grab the attention of a wider audience.
Personally, I think all these cuts are very sad. My own kids will get enrichment no matter what. They'll have the opportunity to explore anything they want because it's important to us and we have the means to make it happen. I feel badly for the kids who really won't have those options either because they lack transportation, lack of funds or simple lack of those experiences on their parents parts.

Can this wall sconce be hard wired into the wall?
ATG Stores Answer
According to the MFR you are able to hardwire this and the little light has a very slight movement to it but not anything like the main one with the swivel arm.

Double Duty
By Steve T. from Lexington, KY on Sep 11, 2008
There are very few Bedside lamps that incorporate general and task lighting. This one is it if you like contemporary, but I have used this light in both contemporary and transitional. Great for bedside tables with no room for a lamp.

Great looking lamps
By Stacy S. from Norman, OK on Apr 20, 2011
We had stayed in the Presidental Suite of a luxury hotel in the Mexican Riviera where our bed had individual reading lights. We are building a new home and I wanted this "luxury" for us so I can read without waking my husband and vice-versa. These fit the bill perfectly. Plus they are sleek and look like they belong in a high end hotel. Only drawback was the price. Would have loved to have found them for less. Oh well, I know they won't be a purchase I will ever regret.

Week 2: Check!
Now that the second week of this semester is rounding off, I am beginning to adapt to my new schedule filled with 5 new classes, organization meetings, and fun events! This week started out sweet with Class Council 2014's "Welcome Back Cake Cutting". We also conducted a short survey at the table to gather feedback from our classmates about events they would like to see happen on campus and their top choice for our class trip this April. After compiling the results, New York City was the most common choice. Last year we went to Newport, RI for our class trip which was lots of fun, and we hope this year's trip will be even bigger and better! Stay tuned for more details!
My Tuesdays and Thursdays are my most hectic days, thus I have even started packing my own lunch those mornings; I am now a PB&J chef! Luckily, my Fridays are shorter than they have been for the past two semesters. Last semester, I had a 3 hour physics lab every Friday, and the Spring semester before that I had a 4 hour Organic Chemistry I lab every Friday!
As for this weekend, I'll be busy preparing for my 2 exams and 1 quiz that I have next week. And of course, I am excited for Super Bowl XLVI! Go Pats!

Entomology means the scientific study of insects and can be seen as an independent branch of arthropodology. Strictly speaking there exist more than 1.3 million described species of different insects which date back some 400 million years. Besides it has been scientifically proven that insects have many kinds of interactions with humans and several other forms of life on earth.
Furthermore, it should be stressed that entomology represents a specialty within the field of biology. Although it is technically incorrect, the definition of entomology is sometimes extended in order to include the study and research of terrestrial animals in other arthropod groups. Examples for such arthropod groups and other phyla are arachnids, myriapods, slugs, and earthworms.
Concerning the history of entomology it should be mentioned that the study of insects and closely-related terrestrial arthropods is rooted in nearly all human cultures from prehistoric times. So the list of famous and significant entomologists turns out to be enormous. It is a list through recorded history that includes notable persons such as Charles Darwin, Karl von Frisch (winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1973), Vladimir Nabokov, and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner E. O. Wilson.
The majority of insects, such as Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, and ants) or Coleoptera (beetles), can easily be recognized to order. Moreover, there are many insects whose genus or species is typically identifiable. This is simply possible through the use of special Identification keys and so-called Monographs. Because of the fact that the class Insecta contains a large number of multitudinous species, it often turns out to be very difficult for a specialist to recognize very specific insects. In this case Identification keys and Monographs prove to be a great help considering the identification of insects and uncommon species.
Fact is that insects do represent a very unpopular animal species. This is for instance the reason why people use so-called mosquito nettings and fly screens, in order to keep flies, mosquitoes, gants and so on successfully at bay.
The majority of hobby entomologists specializes in a single order or a specific family of insects. Besides there is a number of subspecialties that are given informal names such as …
- Apiology – bees
- Myrmecology – ants
- Trichopterology – caddis flies
- Dipterology – flies
- Hemipterology – true bugs
- Lepidopterology – moths and butterflies
- Myrmecology – ants
- Coleopterology – beetles
- Orthopterology – grasshoppers, crickets, etc.
- Lepidopterology – moths and butterflies.
Moreover, entomology has turned out to be a very popular topic for nature poems. There are great lyrical and poetical treasures that discuss the beauty of nature with its animals and insects. Insects should not be seen as useless 'animals". Especially butterflies, beetles, bees and grasshoppers are able to enrich our nature in a very beautiful way. Enjoy nature poems and learn to see our multifarious nature from a different angle.

Design Board: Boy Budget Buys + A Bit Of Inspiration
So…I am letting the news out early again and of course the designer in me is totally wanting to start my designing daydreams for a new nursery. We are expecting our 3rd baby this November. Right now we have 2 boys and are really hoping for a little chicky! Now we certainly would be smitten with a 3rd boy, but the girly-girl in me is ready for a little pink.
Last time I announced my pregnancy on Project Nursery, I rolled out with a nursery design for a baby girl and within a few weeks those design ideas were quickly replaced with my little dude's nest. So this time I am kickin' it off with a boy inspired nursery board. Since this could be boy #3, budget friendly items are a must but I couldn't resist throwing in one little splurge (see #5). With our household quickly losing square footage, the two boys will be bunking up and the newbie will be getting his/her own space. This is what we have in mind for a boy…(And no worries, I'll be sharing some girly ideas in a few weeks!)
1. Window Panel Inspiration – Full Moon Dot in Tangerine by Amy Butler
Why I picked this: I really liked the dot pattern against the linear lines of the wall detail.
2. Baby Mod Modena 3-in-1 fixed side crib in Cool Grey – Walmart.com $249.00
Why I picked this: I am totally loving grey for nurseries…to find this modern painted crib in this great finish is a steal!
3. Flokati Wool Area Rug in Slate – Home Decorators $159.00
Why I picked this: I LOVE flokati rugs in nurseries…it is such a fun visual and tactile texture for your space, plus the babies love to crawl on it.
4. Industrial Rolling Side Table – Urban Outfitters $169.00
Why I picked this: Having a small room, I want a piece that didn't look to heavy visually. Plus, I think it is a fun interesting piece that will grow with your kiddo.
5. Giraffe Lamp by – Jonathan Adler $395.00
Why I picked this: Ummm….I LOVE this lamp, so stylized and simply modern all while adding a touch of whimsy.
6. Dwell Studio for Target Menagerie Collection – Target.com $79.99
Why I picked this: I am such a big fan of the Dwell Collections designed for Target. The colors are very appealing to me and thought it made for a great color palette.
7. DIY Chevron Stripe Wall Paint Detail – $30.00 average cost of a gallon of paint
Why I picked this: Totally smitten with chevron pattern and I LOVE painting wall details. So far have I done squares, stripes and wanted something new & modern while bringing some visual interest to the walls.
http://www.jackandjillinteriors.com Sherri Blum, CID
Congratulations! And I absolutely love the room! I would definitely splurge on that lamp, too. Can't wait to see the finished nursery.
http://www.ebabynurserydecoration.com ebaby decor
Congratulations. You know, that chevron pattern is so neat. Whether it's a girl or boy, you could use it. Girly colors would make all the difference, don't you think? -Dorothy
http://projectnursery.com Pam
Rebecca, congrats! Amazing news. You are a supermom. Love the nursery inspiration. Can't wait to see how the room evolves.
http://projectnursery.com Melisa
Big Congrats Rebecca, I am so happy for you and us – because we get to see another fun design!
http://www.alamodemaven.com a' la mode
CONGRATS!! SInce you are thinking nurseries, I thought I might share this cool lamp for only $39.99 at Target…wouldn't match the bedding in this room perfectly like the JA lamp you posted (one of my FAVES!) but the white one in this link with possibly a shade swap could be really fun in a nursery! Good luck!! xoxo Shelli from alamode
http://www.sparklepantsgirl.com Jes
I just bought that table from Urban Outfitters and it arrived today! Pretty easy to put together, but I'm leaving it outside for a day or so because it has a strong odor. I guess just let it off-gas. It's super cute though and moves around easily on the casters. I would absolutely put it in a little boy's room..if I had a boy.
I just purchased that Dwell for Target bedding for our baby boy's nursery and I love it! Super-high quality for the price and the colors are so modern and fresh! I can't recommend it enough!
http://www.storkbrokers.com Chris
Congratulations! Your nursery design is beautiful. On my budget, I try to to re-use some furniture rather than buying new. I found this site to buy some great baby furniture. http://www.storkbrokers.com/buy/Discount-Baby-Furniture-Kids/8 Best wishes for your and your little ones!
Congratulations! I think the lamp is all worth it! It's gonna be perfect for either boy or girl. I also like its all-white color, making it very flexible should you have some changes in your design concept.

As a Newfoundlander living in Ottawa, and as an infertile/infertility advocate, I read many, many stories of heartache about miscarriages, stillbirths, devastating news during pregnancy, and of course, stories of success. I am glad to hear that Madelyne is remembered in such a loving, caring way and spoken about as a member of the family, even though she's not physically present. Online, there is a wonderful resource (Glow in the Woods at http://www.glowinthewoods.com/) that many people turn to in times of such grief and to celebrate the lives of the little ones that are lost, but so very loved. I think it's a wonderful idea to start a support group in Newfoundland. Many people who go through this need the support of those who understand and having that resource to turn to would be an amazing thing. Good luck.

FMI is full of nice people. Many staffers get along and fraternize outside of work hours. Some people have been there for years and seem to really like it. There's an Employee Committee (I think it's called) that works together to boost the morale of the force. They do stuff like ice cream socials in the summer (as well as a picnic) and help plan all the holiday parties (though most of them are in the boardroom-- nothing too fancy.)There's a position for practically all talents. Management was always very respectful and listened to ideas from every level of the staff. No snootiness going on.Cons
Well, promotions only came once a year. Actually I should say that salary reviews only came once a year, though promotions were few and far between as well. There weren't any bonuses, just a base salary to work with the whole year. The medical benefits were pretty good (and they also offered education tuition reimbursement), but they don't have any 401(k) matching plan (something I was very jealous of other people in other companies who had it) and they also didn't reimburse for transportation, either public or private. Also Job security is definitely not good these days... I will just leave it at that, but do you get the picture?Advice to ManagementAdvice

Ridiculous corporate structure is top heavy and paper work intensive. Every time they downsize the work load gets bigger while the staff shrinks and the people at the top aren't willing to do the actual work.

Strong Muscles Offer Additional Joint Support
Strong muscles are important parts of a physical fitness routine. One of the many benefits of having strong muscles is that your joints will feel better after exercise and in your daily life.

3. If you take the bus to and from work, get off a few blocks early and walk the rest of the way
4. Join your company softball team or exercise group
5. Sit on an exercise ball instead of a chair to strengthen your abs, back and posture
Keeping Fit Should Be a Family Affair
Keeping fit can be accomplished by keeping the family active together. Keeping fit should be a family affair. A great way to keep a family fit and close, is to take daily walks.

Swimming Laps Actually Burns Fat
In order to burn fat the body needs to be involved in cardio exercise for burning calories and strength training through building muscle. Whenever you use a muscle in your body it burns calories. The best way to burn an optimal amount of fat and calories is to use as many muscles in the body as possible. For this reason one of the best exercises you can do for your body to burn fat is swimming.
Though many other exercises also burn (more…)
Swimming is an Excellent Exercise Routine
Swimming is one of the best forms of exercise there is. There are several things that make swimming preferable to other forms of cardio workouts. One of the major benefits is that there is little strain on the joints. Running and walking are good workouts, but they put a lot of stress on the ankles, http://directtelevisionpackages.com/direct-tv/California/Direct-TV-Fremont/, knees and feet. Injuries and arthritis are common for people who run or walk for their cardio workout. Swimming is done in the water, and the body‰Ûªs weight is supported.Didn‰Ûªt catch that? This explains it. This reduces the chances for injuries, because there is little stress on the joints. Swimming can also be made as intense as an individual wants. Exercise can span for several minutes to an hour or more. Crafting the proper routine is the first thing that swimmers should do. The heart rate needs to be increased, and most exercise enthusiasts attempt to reach their target heart rate for a set period of time. Exercising for at least 20 minutes a day is the best way to realize the true benefits of a cardio workout. Swimmers should also strive to be in the pool at least three days a week for the best results. Many swimmers vary their routines to keep their exercise fun.

President Obama Approves Rockaways Pipeline Project
Posted By Willie Simpson On December 4, 2012 @ 1:15 pm In News & Features | 7 Comments
Issuing what appears to be the final nail in the coffin for opponents of the proposed natural gas Rockaway Pipeline Project [2], President Obama signed the New York City Natural Gas Supply Enhancement Act (H.R. 2606) this past Tuesday. Obama's signature paves the way for the commencement of the project, which now only needs the approval of the Federal Energy Regulation Commission, according to a report by WYNC [3].
The proposed construction of the pipeline has faced fierce criticism from environmentalists [4] who gathered thousands of signatures in opposition to the pipeline, and led dozens of protests.
The plan calls for a 3.17-mile pipeline connecting an existing line in the Atlantic through an underground path that cuts through the bottom of the Rockaways and Jamaica Bay to Floyd Bennett Field.
Chris Stockton, a representative of the Williams Companies, which is constructing the pipeline, promises that they will take great care in protecting Jamaica Bay telling WNYC that, "We're not only burying it underground, but they put concrete mats over the pipe to make sure it doesn't float to the surface, because you're filling it with a gas. You want to make sure it doesn't float."
Environmentalists are concerned about the a meter and regulation station that will be built on Floyd Bennett Field. They warn that if another storm with Sandy's power strikes the area, the field and station would be flooded.

House lawmakers are tussling over exactly how much of the cold medicine used to make meth Tennesseans should be able to buy each year.
A proposal backed by the governor would stop people from buying more than about two months' worth of pseudoephedrine each year without a prescription. But that measure got held up Tuesday in a place bills often languish and die—a subcommittee. The subcommittee's chairman, Tony Shipley, instead passed out his own, less restrictive bill. Shipley said afterward that the governor's measure wouldn't have had enough votes.
In response, House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick told reporters Shipley had "made a terrible mistake by moving his bill ahead of the governor's, and I don't think it will be successful."
Shipley also indicated his move was part of a broader agreement among members. McCormick didn't love that suggestion either: "I think that was an agreement completely made by Tony, by himself, that's what I think."
The tussle reflects a broader tension over pseudoephedrine: Police would like to bar over-the-counter sales altogether, in hopes of tamping down on the state's meth problem. But the pharmaceutical industry prefers to make sure its product is widely available.
Here's a statement from the Consumer Healthcare Products Association, which opposes requiring a prescription for pseudoephedrine:
"In order to ensure that law-abiding consumers have access to a wide range of safe and effective, nonprescription treatment options, the Consumer Healthcare Products Association will always advocate for anti-meth solutions that target criminals, not honest Tennesseans… On the whole, the bills passed today are a positive and significant step in the battle against meth production in Tennessee."
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Gov. Bill Haslam argued otherwise:
"We have a serious problem with meth production in Tennessee. The governor's approach addresses the problem head on while balancing the impact on lawful consumers of pseudophedrine. He agrees with law enforcement that the limits in the bill that passed out of subcommittee today aren't low enough to truly fight meth production in our state."

This season, it's Balenciaga's fall collection all of it that has Mary-Kate obsessed. She is close to designer Nicolas Ghesquière and says, "He is so talented, but he's the nicest, most down-to-earth guy, and that makes everything he does more brilliant. I bought everything, but I haven't got anything yet," she says like a girl impatiently waiting for Christmas. Will she wear the new pieces with her infamous clodhopper boots? "Uh-huh. Wore them the other day, actually."
Mary-Kate always goes with her gut, even if some people (back to those tabloids) don't quite get it. "The tabloids say things about me? What do they say?" she asks archly. "People are going to write what they want, and everyone's going to have their own idea of who I am. But I'm not trying to be friends with the people who are reading them, really." After a rough couple of years filled with near-forensic scrutiny of her weight, she'll have you know that she does eat. "This is not going to sound good," she laughs, "but I like making crispy tofu sticks with peanut sauce. I love my sashimi and my salmon and my vegetables." She observes, "Stress plays a big role in how I look day-to-day. I've always been very active Pilates, yoga. I grew up horseback riding every day for hours. I love dancing. I usually last longer than anyone on the dance floor."
A common image of Mary-Kate has her emerging from a coffee joint with an oversize cup. "I always get creamed for having my Starbucks cup," she says, sighing. "But the only time people get photos of me is when I'm getting coffee, when I can't sneak away from the camera." She also resents the pictorial implication that she and Ashley are dilettantes. "They take photos of us going into our offices, and it's 'Mary-Kate and Ashley shopping again.' But I'm going to work for eight hours, and we're working so hard. ..." She trails off. "It just shows how people want to think of you."

Dr. Lam,
I did a technique many years back for some acne scars called punch elevation where the skin is punched at allowed to float up to surrounding skin and a steri strip keeps it in place. Not many doctors perform this anymore and a crazy question. I noticed you also perform hair transplant and use a punch tool. Have you ever tried that on acne scars?

Private Practice Review: "Pulling the Plug"by Steve Marsi at . Comments
As the title suggests, Private Practice tackled another impossible ethical dilemma last night - whether a comatose surrogate should be taken off life support by her spouse.
Would the title also apply to any relationships among the doctors?
If you missed Thursday night's Private Practice, our episode recap has all the details. Below, TV Fanatic reviews and gives you its official postmortem on "Pulling the Plug" ...
The surrogate mother who fell into a coma in the March 11 episode, "Triangles," is still in that state, but won't be much longer, if her husband as anything to say about it.
You won't believe what Pete said to Addison last night ...
While staying by her bedside, he tells Addison he wants to pull the plug on the life support systems machines keeping her breathing. As such, the babies will not survive.
The prospective parents take legal action and a judge rules Kayla must stay on the machine until the babies come to term - and Eddie is ordered to stay away until then.
Cooper gives Charlotte a check for the money he owes her. She looks for a hidden meaning, but there isn't one ... we think. Meanwhile, Dell complains to her about life.
She gives him the advice that if he's unhappy, quitcherbitchin' and do somethin'. Oh, how he takes that to heart during a visit to one of Addison's patient's with a cough.
Follow the jump for our take on the rest of the night's drama ...When he and Coop find the woman on the floor in pain with her water broken and the baby stuck, it's up to Dell to save the day by cracking the baby's clavicle. Gulp.
Not only did Dell have an actual story line for once, he really came through, and Charlotte was impressed as we are. Two lives saved without Addison's help or any gear!
Where was Addison? Caring for sick Pete and Lucas. More on that shortly.
A side development of Dell's heroic day was Charlotte getting busted staring longingly at Cooper by Sheldon in its aftermath. Sheldon sees then that she wants Cooper.
After they had just bonked in his office and everything. Poor Sheldon.
Speaking of complicated relationships, Naomi wonders about Addison and Sam, and about herself, William and Fife, who thinks she's upset that William left the country.
Then the elephant in the room is finally confronted. Naomi wonders how things will, um, progress with Fife if they wish to explore physical aspects of their relationship.
Resident sexologist Charlotte gives Nae manual about sex with a disabled person. Fife sees, and assures her he can handle himself in that regard, if she's game (she is).
But because this is Private Practice, contentedness is short-lived. In the interest of full disclosure, Fife tells Naomi about William, that he is sick, where he went, and why.
Naomi buys a ticket to Switzerland. Do you think that's the right move?
As for Addison, she couldn't help Dell since she was tied up with a sick Lucas and Pete. Her reward for nursing them back to health? Groggy Pete says: "I love you, Violet."
Oh. No. He. Didn't.
All that would have been enough to leave us with a cliffhanger, but what a doozy awaited us after Charlotte unlocked the door to Kayla's room to let Eddie see his wife.
Sam and Vanessa hear an alarm that Eddie unhooked the ventilator, prompting Sam to break a window to enter and reconnect the machine, but his efforts are in vain.
That's because Kayla is breathing on her own now. Wow. Just wow. What an unexpected and emotional ending to an episode that already ranked high on that scale!
Phew! What did you think of Thursday's Private Practice? Comment!

Addison & Pete just need to give it up, they just can't work when they're in love with other people!
Do you remember when Addison said to Mark in the crossover "I can't fall in love with a man who's in love with someone else, that much I know I can't do that again" so what the HELL is she doing with Pete!!
The stuff with Lucas was amazing though, seriously fell in love with 'Mommy' Addie, it was just so cute!
When Violet comes back next ep its all going to kick off, can see it coming!
Oh and the Addisam stuff was like cute hotness, the way they looked at each other in the soup scene it was like they were dying to say I love you. Just go there already!! Seriously they have to give them a shot, they can't leave it like this, who cares about Naomi, she's in Switzerland (bad move, seriously stupid) just give Addisam a chance!
Loved this episode, edge of my seat stuff right at the end, thinking the mother carrying triplets who is in a coma, suddenly starts breathing, I honestly thought her husband killed her. Pete calling Addison Violet, not a good thing. I really like to see Addison and Sam get together they have been friends for a very long time and they both need some happiness. And Charlotte should just admit she still loves Cooper. I love Cooper and Charlotte as a couple.
The soup scene was my favourite too. It was priceless.
I loved this episode!!! Naomi and Fife were beyond cute and funny!!!
and I loved that Pete said I love you Violet!! he cant denie his feelings for her no matter how much he thinks he wants Addison...he is not over Vi!!
i cant wait to see her comming back next week!!! Im sure she ready to be a mom now!!
That soup scene with Addie and Sam was the highlight of the episode! So much love! They need to be endgame! Addison and Lucas were totally adorable, though I wish she could take care of her own child like that. Loved Naomi and Fife! They are cute together. The medical case is heartbreaking. Excited to see how this will end! And I'm really looking forward to Violet coming back.
Addison and Pete both know they love other people. It won't work. I want Addison and Sam to get it together ASAP. So much chemistry between them and him bringing her soup when she was sick was freaking adorable. Hottest pairing on TV right now.

Sutton stays at Grambling to lead public relations and communications
Will Sutton, a 2012 Reynolds Center Visiting Professor, will join Grambling State University as acting Director of Public Relations and Communications.
Since January, Sutton taught a business journalism class at Grambling as part of the Reynolds Center's Visiting Professor Program, which pairs veteran journalists with academic institutions to encourage stronger financial training. Sutton, whose career included leading award-winning teams at various media outlets, was one of four visiting professors funded by a $1.67 million grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation.
In his new role, Sutton will handle Grambling's public relations and communications. He will also advise journalism students as they embark on professional careers.
"None of this would be possible without the wonderful visiting professor opportunity provided by the Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism and the opportunity to share business and business journalism knowledge with students at Grambling State University," Sutton said in an e-mail. "This job gives me the chance to have a broad impact on the university while still working with students."
While teaching at Grambling, Sutton founded a professional development program for journalists and also pushed for diversity on the business beat. This spring, his 11-point plan for adding diversity to business journalism ranks prompted a vibrant online discussion and eventually action. After reading Sutton's challenge, Jill Jorden Spitz, president of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers, vowed to explore bring business journalism training to five high schools. She also said the organization will strive to award five minority students scholarships to the 2013 SABEW Annual Conference in Washington D.C.
"We have enjoyed having Will on campus as a visiting professor, and we're thrilled that he's agreed to stay and help us communicate all the good news about our wonderful university," President Frank D. Pogue said in a press release. "We know someone of his caliber will automatically have respect from his media peers and our academic community, and we know he can help us."

Alpha Delta Gamma is founded on Five Basic Principles, known as the Five S's: Spiritual, Scholastic, Service, School Spirit, and Social.
Today, Alpha Delta Gamma still holds these Five Basic Principles in high regard. Each Chapter tries her best to complete many aspects of the Five S's during the course of the school year. But most importantly, Alpha Delta Gamma still remembers the true reason why her Founding Fathers started talking that fateful day in 1924. And this reason is TRUE BROTHERHOOD.
One will not find a closer Fraternity of friends and Brothers around the country than Alpha Delta Gamma National Fraternity. Our smaller size is our biggest attraction. In this National Organization, one is known by his face and his name not a number. And in doing as such, one can make a name for himself in this Fraternity and make close friends with members from all around the country.
Such uniqueness evolves from being an Alpha Delt. It warrants a question: How genuine would it be to meet another Alpha Delt in this world, compared to meeting one of tens-of-thousands of another organization? It makes one wonder why gentlemen would choose otherwise.

Chester River Watershed Observatory
Our vision is a Chesapeake Bay and watershed that is healthy and thriving; one in which natural systems and human communities are in balance. Interdisciplinary academic programs promote the integration of environmental issues, social values, and good old river mud.
This pioneer observatory will allow us to take the pulse of every aspect of the watershed. The data and results will be Internet available to agencies, academics, resource managers, and scientists. It will be melded with hands-on, experiential learning opportunities for formal and informal educators throughout the Chester River watershed. The program will be exportable to other local, regional, national and global water bodies.
To learn more about the organization of the Chester River Watershed Observatory, click here.
- The program will be tied to the social, economic and cultural aspects of the watershed.
- It will allow measurements of input to the watershed that contribute to eutrophication, including; nutrients, sediments, and others. It will eventually allow forecasting of water quality conditions in the Chester River.
- 18 schools in the Chester River watershed will be fitted with a full functioning, Internet connected, weather station. This will allow the microclimate within the Watershed to be monitored and analyzed.
- STEM Education will be integrated across the Watershed Curriculum, using hands-on programs developed by personnel at the CES; including; Build a Buoy, Basic Observation Buoys & Aquabotz (Underwater Robotics).
- Benthic and shoreline habitat will be mapped using Callinectes and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. The results will be melded with aerial imagery so that the river can be viewed as if it were empty of water.
- Technology will be introduced that allows the monitoring of fish moving to and from the Bay to be identified and enumerated.
- Models that simulate river flow under a variety of conditions will be constructed and made available via the Internet. The models will help understand where improvements in land management or water treatment will lead to improved water quality.
Using PVC pieces and Frisbees, students as young as kindergarten-age learn to put together a small floating platform. The challenge is, how many golf balls can your buoy hold? They design and build their platforms and then test them in tubs filled with water. They learn about the importance of creating a buoy with a low center of gravity to help balance the golf balls. After they've successfully supported the golf balls, they get a thermometer to record air and water temperature. They attached this to their buoy, and they have just built their first observation buoy.
Basic Observation Buoys (BOB)
This is a more advanced version of the Build-A-Buoy, again constructed of PVC, hardware, and pegboard. This buoy is large and stable enough to carry more instrumentation to gather more data. Students build the buoy and con monitor and collect data including water and air temperature, conductivity, and salinity. They can see the data online in their classrooms.
Aquabotz is a remote-controlled robot that swims underwater. Using basic materials including PVC pipes and off-the-shelf hardware, as well as switches, a controller, speaker wire, a battery, and a propeller, students design and build an underwater vehicle that can be operated remotely from the surface. Students can attach waterproof cameras to the robot to capture images below the surface. The Aquabotz is powered by DC and so is completely safe in water. Combined with the BOB, the Aquabotz allows students in grades 6 through 12 to monitor water and air temperature, conductivity, salinity, and dissolved oxygen, and view the data online.
Rivers To Bay Program
Funded by the Maryland Department of Education in partnership with Kent and Queen Anne's counties, this program educates the educators about the Chester River watershed and the data gathering techniques that will form the backbone of information for the CRWO. Teachers physically travel the river, in kayaks and then in the College's research vessel Callinectes, from its headwaters to its mouth. They also participate in classroom and field study to learn a variety of classroom skills to integrate into their curricula, including using GPS and GIS to map the watershed, learning how to build BOBS, Aquabotz and other buoys, gathering samples in the water column as well as along the shoreline, and building and implementing sensors to monitor parameters including temperature, salinity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, pH, nitrates, and phosphates. Last summer, 20 teachers participated in this program.

Hello Northwestern Ontario: Rogers and TBayTel team up to provide 3G coverage
In RedBoard's first blog post, we received a comment from Shane asking about coverage in Northwestern Ontario. Today, we have an update for you Shane – as well as for those living, travelling or doing business in that area.
Rogers and Thunder Bay, Ont.'s TBayTel announced this morning an agreement that will see Rogers customers gain access to TBayTel's HSPA network, which covers will cover communities and major highway corridors in a 300,000 square kilometre area spanning from just west of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. to the Manitoba border. (How big is 300,000-square kilometres? Roughly the size of France.)
The deal will give TBayTel customers access to Rogers' 3G HSPA network, allowing them to use mobile devices on the Rogers network across Canada.
The Rogers-TBayTel agreement is subject to approval by regulators. Should it be approved, service between the Rogers and TBayTel is expected to begin later this year.
We are always looking at ways to expand and improve our network. Our HSPA network covers more than 84 per cent of the Canadian population and we are currently upgrading it to HSPA+ — which provides speeds of up to 21 Mbps, similar to those of fixed broadband.
Check out www.rogers.com/network for more information about our Wireless coverage.

Nice! Congrat's!
Now that is good news for all the people here in northwestern Ontario (specially Kenora). We have been living in the stone age of the dying CDMA service of KMTS and 2G for Rogers. I can't wait for it. Thanks Rogers and Tbaytel.
Am I missing something here? I live in Thunder Bay, own an iPhone 3GS and I've never seen a 3G signal. Since when does Thunder Bay have 3G?
Tbaytel currently has EvDO 3g , your GSM iphone will not see it.. However with upgrades to tbaytels network, you will be able to gain access to 3g, expected to be done by the end of the year.
tbaytel has not turned on their 3g yet though they obviously are working on it. I was expecting them to remain partnered with bell. I'm surprised.
I've been asking Rogers coverage (p0m 3g0) since the days they ran AMPS/TDMA, then sold it off to Superior Wireless who was purchased by TBayTel.
When can I expect some GSM or HSPA service between Sault Ste. Marie and White River ?
Also, would TBayTel purchase DMTS GSM network (between TBay and Manitoba) ?
Please upgrade the network in Northeastern Ontario! I'm still getting gprs at times when it shows on the website it should be edge, its crazy. Bell is launching a full 3g network in the area in July. I hope Rogers follows quickly after or signs an agreement with Bell to roam.
Will this be free roaming (eg bell/telus agreement) or a cost/addon required?
Please please add coverage to Newfoundland so you can have the entire TCH covered across Canada.
Great for this Ontario region. After approx 30 years though, Rogers still has at best spotty coverage in St. John's,NL, at worst downright pathetic. When I fly down to visit my mother, 10 minutes from downtown St. John's, my Rogers phone was a paper weight. Bell & TELUS give me 5 bars consistently. It's as if Rogers basically has given up even trying to provide coverage in Newfoundland. :(
Please hurry up with the Manitoba expansion, I've been dying to see 3G in this neck of the woods for forever and still nothing. There are still alot of coverage holes in the province. It's not fun visiting family in the country and not being able to use the phone what-so-ever
C'est très bien pour les gens de l'Ontario, mais il ne faut pas oublier les provinces Maritimes. J'éprouve beaucoup de difficultés à obtenir un bon signal sur mon iPhone à Fredericton. Transmettez le message à votre équipe réseau.
J'espère bien une réponse en français;)
Bonjour Hélène,
Tel que mentionné ci-dessus, Rogers travaille continuellement à l'amélioration de son réseau et de son expérience client. Merci d'avoir pris le temps de partager vos commentaires avec nous. Je vais définitivement les transmettre à notre équipe réseau.
Bonne journée!
Finally good news. TBayTel finally got with the times and did something right for Thunder Bay and Northwestern Ontario. Now I can finally use my Rogers HTC Dream and go anywhere in Northwestern Ontario and get my money's worth with service in this area. Way to go for Rogers and TBAYTEL!! 3G service will be fantastic too. I'm very happy for the future of cell coverage in Northwestern Ontario!! I've been complaining of the very very poor coverage of this area for years. It is great to see Rogers was listening to it's customers. KUDOS!!
A little off-topic but still on the same idea of coverage…what kind of timeline are we looking at for Rogers to match their 2G coverage with 3G?..and perhaps even exceed Bell & Telus' HSPA+ coverage? Instead of the same old "we're always working to improve coverage", can you be specific with your answer?
Great, I can't wait! When will this start? I hope soon! I have a question, is it possible to use the iPhone with a pay as you go plan? I couldn't find any information on this. I don't need to be on a 3G network or anything, just if I can talk and text.
Thanks so much!
Having just driven through Northwestern Ontario, I certainly applaud this move. All across the prairies, I was dismayed to receive the Rogers "E" symbol on my iPhone 3Gs for most of the Trans Canada Highway outside, and I mean JUST outside major centers. We drove up from Swift Current to Saskatoon and had a tire blow out on our RV a half hour out of SC. NO SERVICE but Sasktel customers who drove by did have service. HMM Can't Rogers sign roaming agreements with Sasktel, MTS and other Prairie carriers to improve coverage? You have roaming agreements with networks in other countries, for crying out loud!
So with this change will it mean my Rogers phone will go onto the tbaytel network in Dryden? I'm sick of going on the DMTS network. I want to get a smartphone but i'm not sure if I should go with Rogers or Tbaytel.
Is the new network going to be up by september? I'm making the drive back to Lakehead in early September, and would greatly appreciate this upgrade.
Hello there, we live in a small place called Sioux Lookout, well you have coverage in this aera? Thanks!

The Fall Fun Festival, the City of Round Rock's free children's Halloween carnival is on Friday from 9 am - noon at Old Settlers Park. The theme is Dr. Seuss and something tells me the Cat in the Hat will be there. This event is not only fun for the toddlers and preschoolers who go to the event, it's fun for us to host as the kids are all dressed up in Halloween costumes and so excited as they win carnival games. The library will be reading books, children can climb into a real fire truck and even enjoy hayrides. Very cool. Last year we had toddler Elvis empersonators and even robots. I'm curious what this year will bring. Are you coming to the Fall Fun Fest? What's your Halloween costume?
