Idaho's February jobless rates comes within a tenth of record
Idaho employers opened 2010 by hiring fewer workers than in any two-month period on record, sending February's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate to 9.5 percent and stopping just short of breaking the record 9.6 percent rate in 1982-83.
The February rate jumped another two-tenths of a point to 9.5 percent after rising two-tenths to 9.3 percent in January from a revised December rate of 9.1 percent. That put Idaho within two-tenths of the national unemployment rate of 9.7 percent – the closest Idaho's rate has been to the national mark since the 2001 recession.
In Clearwater County, unemployment was at 15.3 percent, up from 14 percent at this time last year. Of the 3,408 people considered to be part of the civilian labor force, 522 were recorded as unemployed. In January those numbers were 3,361 and 514, respectively.
Last February there were 3,485 people in Clearwater County's civilian labor force, and 488 of those were unemployed.
While the recession hit Idaho fast and hard during 2009, unemployment averaged 8 percent for the year, still below the record average of 9 percent in 1982. The average was also higher in 1983 at 8.8 percent and 1986 at 8.1 percent.
But the number of jobless workers reached a record 71,600 in February, up 1,500 from January. There were just 20,300 Idahoans unemployed in February 2007, 10 months before the recession began. More than 52,000 idled workers collected over $15.7 million in unemployment this week, bringing total unemployment checks for the first 11 weeks of the year to over $181 million. Unemployment benefits totaled $643 million in 2009.
The statewide labor force increased by 2,400 in February to 755,700, the eighth straight month that the number of people working or looking for work has increased in what could be a sign of rising public optimism about job prospects.
The recession's erosion of jobs in Idaho appears to have stalled, but there was little movement toward rebuilding the employment base that hit nearly 670,000 in mid-2007 before the economy slumped. The failure of the economy to generate new jobs while the number of people looking for work has increased is behind the rising unemployment rate.
Nonfarm jobs at 592,000 in February were 2.2 percent below February 2009, less than half the jobs gap posted last August. But the gain in jobs from January to February was only 2,100, barely a third of the 5,900 average gain between January and February for the seven expansion years following the 2001 recession.
Employers hired just 8,800 workers in January and only 8,300 more in February, the only back-to-back months that hiring has fallen below 9,000 since record-keeping began in late 1997. Up until this year, January and February new hires have averaged over 13,500.
Construction jobs have fallen to the level of the late 1990s, continuing to drop in February faster than the average over the previous five years. A modest gain in high technology manufacturing was offset by higher-than-normal declines in food processing.
Retail trade, trucking and financial and business services all declined at higher-than-normal rates between January and February although the losses were comparatively modest.
Only hotels and restaurants showed modest job gains beyond the five-year average while public and private education regained the jobs that were essentially suspended during the Christmas holidays.

At a meeting: Israelis take pride in dressing down: Jeans are more common in Israel than jackets and ties, and business formal often means no more than a button-down and khaki pants. For women, skirts are better than trousers for meetings with religious colleagues. But in liberal Tel Aviv, anything goesparticularly trendy dresses from boutiques on Dizengoff and Shenkin streets.
On the street: It's South Beach style in resorty Eilat and Tel Aviv, where cotton shorts and tank tops are de rigueur during the hot summer months. Everywhere in Israel is fairly casual, but Jerusalem, Galilee, and Tiberias get colder winters and call for more conservative dress. In these places, long skirts are ideal for women, and everyone covers up at Jewish and Christian religious sites, with high necks and long sleeves.
At a party: Secular celebrations call for jeans and nice tops; for religious ceremonies or weddings, cover past the elbows and below the knees.
P.S. Far from frumpy, Israel's a burgeoning fashion hub: Lanvin's Alber Elbaz and designer Yigal Azroel hail from the Holy Land.

Politkovskaya murder suspect goes on trial in Moscow
Russian prosecutors have called for a 12-year jail term for a policeman accused over the murder of journalist Anna Politkovskaya.
Former policeman Dmitry Pavlyuchenkov went on trial after reaching a plea bargain to reduce his sentence for murder and illegal possession of arms.
His long-awaited trial in Moscow was adjourned until Friday.
As part of the plea bargain, he is being tried separately from five other men accused of the murder.
Politkovskaya was an investigative journalist who wrote highly critical reports on the Kremlin and of Russian military actions in Chechnya.
On 7 October 2006, she was found shot dead in a lift at her block of flats in Moscow.
At the time, the 48-year-old was working for a small-circulation Russian newspaper, Novaya Gazeta, known for its fierce attacks on the country's authorities.
Her brutal murder shocked the media in Russia and abroad, and led to calls for better protection of journalists in the country.
Seven suspectsLt-Col Pavlyuchenkov, a former officer in the Moscow police, is accused of equipping a group to murder her.
Under the plea bargain, the maximum prison sentence he faces has been cut by a third.
Politkovskaya murder suspects
- Mysterious, unnamed "mastermind" who allegedly ordered the murder
- Chechen career criminal Lom-Ali Gaitukayev, who allegedly passed on the order
- Lt-Col Dmitry Pavlyuchenkov, former Moscow police officer, said to have equipped murder gang
- Rustam Makhmudov, the alleged gunman
- Dzhabrail and Ibragim Makhmudov, alleged getaway drivers
- Sergei Khadzhikurbanov, former Moscow policeman who allegedly provided logistics support
The other defendants include three members of the same Chechen family: Rustam Makhmudov, who is accused of firing the fatal shots, and his brothers Dzhabrail and Ibragim, who are accused of acting as getaway drivers.
All three men were tried and acquitted for lack of evidence in 2009 but the verdict was overturned by Russia's supreme court, which ordered them to be retried.
Investigators say they and Lt Col Pavlyuchenkov formed a gang on the orders of a Chechen crime boss, Lom-Ali Gaitukayev, who was himself allegedly in the pay of an unidentified mastermind.
Gaitukayev was arrested in 2007 in a separate case and is currently serving a jail sentence for the attempted murder of a businessman. He was charged over the Politkovskaya murder last year.
Another former police officer, Sergei Khadzhikurbanov, has been charged with providing logistical support in the crime.
Lt Col Pavlyuchenkov, who may be sentenced when the court reconvenes on Friday, also faces a lawsuit from Politkovskaya's family for compensation of 10m roubles (£202,000; $325,000; 251,000 euros).
"Pavlyuchenkov tries to present himself as someone of little importance but he without doubt knows the mastermind," her son Ilya told a news conference on the eve of his trial.

Wales boss Warren Gatland has offered unequivocal backing to fly-half playmaker Rhys Priestland following his dip in form.
Priestland has struggled to recapture the performance levels that saw him produce headline-grabbing displays during last season's successful World Cup and RBS 6 Nations campaigns.
The Scarlets number 10 started Wales' opening autumn Test defeat against Argentina earlier this month and then appeared as a substitute for more than half the game against Samoa five days ago (Wales lost 26-19) after Dan Biggar was injured.
But despite ineffective displays in both encounters, Gatland has named Priestland in a starting XV
showing five changes for Saturday's Millennium Stadium clash with world champions New Zealand.
"He had a great World Cup and Six Nations last season and when he plays well, the team does," Gatland said. "He has taken the brunt of a lot of the criticism in the last two weeks.
"I do not care who you are, if you can handle it you will come through the better for it, and I have told him that. He has not experienced it before and we have to support him.
"We could have made a change there (fly-half), but there are certain players we need to support and back. Biggar is carrying an injury and James Hook is not available next week (against Australia).
"We are well aware of the pressures Rhys has been under, but his confidence and form will come back.
"One of the things that attracted us to him was the confidence he displayed and even a slight cockiness you look for. They (fly-halves) need that to control the game and the people around them.
"We see an incredibly talented player who is just not playing quite as well as he can at the moment, and we back him."
Scarlets midfield powerhouse Jonathan Davies has recovered from a groin problem to make his first appearance of the autumn series on Saturday, replacing Ashley Beck, while hooker Matthew Rees returns to the front row.
Elsewhere, lock Luke Charteris is in for Ian Evans, who has taken only a limited part in training due to knee trouble, and openside flanker and captain Sam Warburton replaces Justin Tipuric.
"I expect a response from the players," Gatland added. "We want a performance everyone can be proud of.
"We are going to go out there and, I hope, throw something a little bit different at the All Blacks and put them under a bit of pressure.
"You have to be different and take a few risks against them, which is what we will do."

Does anybody remember the movie "Ernest Saves Christmas"? It featured the late Jim Varney (star of those "hey, vern!" Pine State Milk Company commercials in the 80's). Well, here's a memory for you... One chilly Saturday afternoon, I was disking land. Actually, we always called it "disting" back home for some unknown reason. Anyway, I must have been about 12 years old. I had been driving tractors by myself for sometime. As I made a pass at the end of the field, dad came walking up and flagged me down to give a few instructions. I pulled over, and he opened the cab & stepped inside. He was in a really good mood that day, and I had been wanting to see "Ernest Saves Christmas" for some time. It was nearly winter, so our workdays were not quite as hectic as the summer months. I figured that now was as good a time as any to ask, so I mentioned that "Ernest" was playing at the movie theater. With a knowing smile, Dad looked at me and said "well, how would you like to go see it?" He didn't have to ask twice. That night, the whole family went to the old Litchfield United Artists Theater. Even as a kid, I loved the movies (a trait I still carry today, as many of you know). I remember walking into the lobby and smelling that warm popcorn. Dad bought me a 10 gallon bucket, and covered it with a buttery substance that looked for all the world like pure Penzoil. It was wonderful. We all thought the movie was great- I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life. Last Christmas, Kevin Wuzzardo bought me a copy of "Ernest Saves Christmas" on DVD. My wife fell asleep ten minutes after the titles started, but I sat there on the couch, contently recalling childhood memories. But something really caught my eye this time around. In nearly every scene of the film, the actors appear to be sweating profusely. Curious, I went online and looked-up the production facts. Apparently, this Christmas-themed movie was originally shot in the dead middle of summer (in Florida, no less). It's interesting that we associate Christmas with snow, especially here in the south. In my entire life, I've only seen one "white Christmas". The vast majority of my Christmases were filled with sunshine and warm temperatures. Here in Wilmington, there have been at least three years in which temperatures were in the 80's the week of Christmas. In 1998, Wilmington temperatures reached the 80's no less than 5 times in December. Record-setting temperatures are often accompanied by severe weather. I remember sitting in the Weather Lab tracking severe thunderstorms on Christmas morning 2005, and tornado watches were issued in our viewing area on Christmas day of 2006. Here's hoping for quieter days this year. Know what I mean? (SEND COMMENTS TO JERRY AT email@example.com) By: Jerry Jackson |

Meredith Vieira, Happy at Home
She said goodbye to her Today show family and fans. Here, Meredith Vieira tells GH Editor in Chief Rosemary Ellis how she's reconnecting with pals, rediscovering her marriage and following her mom's wisest advice
By Rosemary Ellis
Special Offers
RE: And yet, looking for a silver lining, I'd assume your kids have grown up with sensitivities that they wouldn't have had otherwise. I'm sure you've learned things from dealing with chronic illness that you wouldn't have otherwise.
MV: I couldn't agree more. I think our children are much more empathetic because of having a dad who has issues than they would have been otherwise. I think it's helped shape the sense of humor of this family, because that is one of our coping mechanisms. It certainly is with Richard. And they've learned to appreciate what matters in a way that I don't think they would have otherwise; when they were little, I think they were a little embarrassed that Dad couldn't do all the things that another father could do. But when Ben wants to talk politics, he doesn't talk to me. He sees his father and knows how smart Richard is, and also the strength of the man. They have so much more respect for him than they might have otherwise, because they've really looked into the heart of the person.
RE: That truly is a gift. Let's talk for a minute about another blessing: how you manage to look so great. Is there any special routine you follow for your skin?
MV: Oh, thank you. I've never stuck with one particular thing except Neutrogena body wash. And I'm still a Jean Naté girl. It brings me back to when I was 13 or 14. I love to splash that stuff on!
RE: And from the inside out, what do you do?
MV: I try to keep my sugar intake as low as possible. And I try to eat more protein and veggies to keep my blood sugar levels in balance. I eat smart I do think that's the sort of thing that will eventually show up in the condition of your skin, your hair, and your nails, and your own feeling about yourself. You feel better in the short run when you have a tub of ice cream, but in the long run, you don't.
RE: What's your healthy version of a tub of ice cream? What's your favorite healthy snack?
MV: I like nuts a lot; they're fabulously good for you almonds and that kind of thing. And I like those frozen pomegranate bars, the ice bars and the coconut ones, too. [Jasper, Vieira's dog, barks and jumps up on her.]
RE: It's clear to me that Jasper is your fourth child.
MV: You know, secretly, I like a little chaos. I think that's really true for my inner Buddha. I think I like a little nutsy. Maybe I can't take total peace. Richard once said to me, "Did you ever watch yourself on a Saturday or Sunday? You never sit still. For someone who says she wants to just breathe, it'll be interesting to see if you are capable of it. I think it's part of your genetic makeup that you're a putterer."
RE: Speaking of genetic makeup, tell me about your mom.
MV: She was a real stay-at-home mom, very strict and old-school, like my dad. Though some of my fondest memories are of playing jacks on the linoleum kitchen floor with my mom. She never let me win at jacks...
RE: So this is where you get your competitive streak from. Any other memories?
MV: I'd walk into the kitchen and she'd be sitting by herself, and I remember thinking how pretty she was. Then as I got older, I remember thinking, What have you done with your life [other than raise my brothers and me]? But then at one point, I said that being a nurse would be great, and my mother immediately said, "Why would you be a nurse? You'd be a doctor." My mother was a feminist way before that term came out. Even though she was a stay-at-home mom.
RE: But she was ambitious for you.
MV: Yes, and she didn't want me to ever feel I couldn't do anything I wanted to do. As I mentioned, as I got older, I started feeling [about her], But what have you done with your life? There was a lot of mother-daughter tension when I was a teenager; I talked back a little bit. I remember having some fight I can't recall what it was over and I said to my mother, "Boy, I don't want to end up like you." To this day, I feel terrible about that. She let it roll off of her. You know, once I had kids, I could see more of my mother in me. I'd constantly think, What would my mother be doing? The holidays, all the things that make a house a home all those things that she gave us are the most important.

How Marc Faber Prepares For "When The Sh*t Hits The Fan"
Posted By admin On September 28, 2013 @ 4:38 am In Money Watch | Comments Disabled
Zero Hedge [1]
September 28, 2013
During a recent round-table discussion (accessible below), Marc Faber explained his asset allocation strategy and his incredulity at what the Fed is doing.
"I have around 25% in gold… and it's my insurance policy. It is important that one day when the so-called shit hits the fan - and I think the Fed is well on its way to creating that situation - you have access to your gold, that it is not taken away."
Faber goes on to discuss his lack of surprise at the Fed's un-Taper, the wealth in-equality impacts, and Asia's growing lack of faith in the USD.
Via Sprott Global Resources Roundtable,
On The Impact Of Fed Policy,
"When the Fed began Quantitative Easing 1 (QE1) in 2008, I said it would continue until QE99. So I'm not so surprised by the "no tapering decision." But this money printing has numerous unintended consequences and actually does not help the economy much. Asset purchases benefit maybe 1% of the population, the super-rich.I'm not complaining because I own stock, bonds and real estate, but from a social point of view, it's undesirable because it creates widening wealth inequality and dissatisfaction among the majority of voters.
This could lead to more votes for a populist leader who will then tax the wealthy more heavily.
On Asian demand for precious metals,
"In the Far East, we have a tradition of owning physical gold, but what is new is theChinese government encouraging citizens to own gold.I believe that in the face of political instability and a lack of faith in the U.S. dollar, Asians will continue to accumulate physical gold and silver.
On holding precious metals,
I recommend an asset allocation of about 25% in equities; 25% in fixed income, securities and cash; 25% in real estate; and 25% in precious metals—gold, silver. I thinkI have around 25% in gold whereby I don't value my gold.I have it and it's my insurance policy. It is important that one day when the so-called shit hits the fan—and I think the Fed is well on its way to creating that situation—you have access to your gold, that it is not taken away.

Carmen Giannattasio was born on April 24th in Avellino in Southern Italy. At the early age of two she overheard a nun playing Chopin on the piano in the Kindergarten she attended. From that moment music was her passion; she would creep out of the playroom at every opportunity to listen and begged her parents to buy her a piano. But it was singing that later took over her life after taking part in an audition and being accepted at the Conservatoire Domenico Cimarosa of Avellino, where she studied under vocal teachers Cecilia Valdenassi, Barbara Lazotti and Marilena Laurenza, simultaneously obtaining a degree in Russian and English Literatures from the University of Salerno. Whilst attending the school for young opera singers (L'Accademia di Perfezionamento) at Teatro alla Scala, Milan from 1999-2001, she came under the formative influence of the school's principal, the legendary Turkish soprano Leyla Gencer, who was to become her mentor. They were reunited the following year in Paris, when Ms Giannattasio won First and Audience Prize in Operalia 2002, the prestigious competition founded by Plácido Domingo to discover and promote the most talented young opera singers of the future. Major roles in the world's leading opera houses quickly followed, identifying her as ideally suited to 18th and 19th operatic repertoire Rossini and as one of the rare breed of sopranos gifted with the vocal technique and compelling stage presence necessary to scale the formidable challenges posed by the great bel canto composers. In 2006, only a few years after her success at Operalia 2002, Financial Times critic Andrew Clark greeted her performance as Elena in Rossini's LA DONNA DEL LAGO at the Edinburgh Festival (recorded live by Opera Rara) with the words 'Behold, a prima donna is born...' Rupert Christiansen of The Daily Telegraph is not alone in comparing her acting to the forceful Italian 'neorealistic' stage and film actress Anna Magnani and with regard to her voice reference has been made to Ileana Cotrubas and Renata Scotto. She recently performed in LA BOHÈME at Royal Opera House Covent Garden in London, with ROBERT LE DIABLE in Salerno, DON GIOVANNI in Verona, IL TROVATORE at Metropolitan Opera and LA CLEMENZA DI TITO at Aix en Provence Festival, in Naples and Hong Kong with LA TRAVIATA, Berlin with DON CARLOS, at Teatro alla Scala with FALSTAFF, in Vienna with IL TROVATORE and recently in Buenos Aires for her debut in OTELLO. Highlights for the future seasons are MARIA STUARDA in Berlin and London, PAGLIACCI in Berlin, VIAGGIO A REIMS in Amsterdam, LA BOHÈME in Berlin and San Francisco.

U.S. government shutdown forced NASA and other agencies into hibernation
Posted By Vamien McKalin On October 7, 2013 @ 12:12 AM In Miscellaneous | 14 Comments
Due to the shutdown of the U.S. government, several agency websites such as The FTC, USDA, NASA and the Library of Congress, are all out of commission for the time being. Others are still being updated but not on a regular basis, while some are still online but absent any form of updates. Basically, there's no one around to keep these sites running as they should, which is a real shame.
Quite a few government related websites optioned to leave a note on the front page explaining the reason why nothing is happening. For example, the NASA website said, "Due to the lapse in federal government funding, this website is not available. We sincerely regret this inconvenience." In addition, the USA.gov website said, "Due to the lapse in funding, the U.S. federal government has shut down. Call 1-800-FED-INFO (1-800-333-4636 ) for answers to government questions.
Other government websites such as The Justice Department and Department of Defense websites are static at the moment with little to no updates. The whole thing is a mess, and we hope the government kicks back into gear sooner rather than later.
Moreover, if you're living in places where earthquakes are frequent, you're in for some bad news lads and lassies. Here's what the U.S. Geological Survey website has to say. "While the USGS will continue to monitor and report on earthquake activity, the accuracy or timeliness of some earthquake information products, as well as the availability or functionality of some web pages, could be affected by our reduced level of operation."
It is clear the folks running the government no longer have superuser privileges. If they did, then they would simply utter the following command. "Sudo government restart." The Linux guys should get this, no problem.

An alleged burglar is roaming the streets a free man tonight, after posting his bond shortly after being arrested. The suspect is not new to the Wilmington crime scene, either.
He is facing charges in seven recent burglaries that cost victims nearly $7,000.
Alan Rickenbacker allegedly broke into homes on Acacia Drive, Fenway Lane and Peachtree Avenue. Some homes he has broken into even two or three times.
"We are concerned that we can be broken into again. We are concerned that this fellow has a habit, and he is going to continue to go out and break it because he has done it multiple times." said one concerned victim.
Victims of alleged burglar Allan Rickenbacker say he got off too easy and Wilmington Police Chief Ralph Evangelous agreed.
"Problem is he with his record is that's all he's been doing, he's a thief, he's a burglar, his record is as long as my arm.", said Evangelous.
Rickenbacker was arrested Friday. His bond was set at $100,000, and a few hours later, he posted bond and was free.
"He's back out on the street, he will burglarize again. My biggest fear is that one of these days he is going to break into a house, there is going to be a kid home, sick, and become victimized by these types of activities." Evangelous stated.
This is not Rickenbacker's first run in with the law. He was already facing 14 charges of uttering false pretenses - meaning he tried to sell the goods he allegedly stole at a pawn shop.
This has victims wondering why he was allowed out on bond.
In this case, Rickenbacker was eligible for a $100,000 bond based on his record. Ultimately it is up to the judge to decide where to set bond.
Bail bondsman, Raul Brewster, posted Rickenbacker's bond once before. He said it is almost better to have bond set for repeat offenders, so the community does not have to use tax money to keep them in jail.
Brewster stated, "Take the load off the state, take the load off the tax payers, we are going to be responsible, and we are going to make sure that he shows up in court."

BAFL: Results May 31
Firstly apologies for not posting a preview last week, but I was never going to miss this weeks round up.
Last weekend 14 games were played across this great country. With 641 points scored and only 5 shutouts. Was your team shutout? I hope not as I love points, but if you were keep your chin up.
Only one game in the BAFL Premier over the weekend and what a humdinger. 2008's BritBowl finalists meet in Coventry. The London Blitz visited Coventry Cassidy Jets on Sunday in what was a mouth watering game. The last time these to teams meet was at the Keepmoat Stadium in Doncaster back in September. When the Jets come back from 18 points behind at half time and won the final 33-32. This season however the Blitz stamped their foot down in this game. Bursting out of the blocks in a Sunny Sunday afternoon the Blitz raced to a 28-0 half time lead and never looked back. No points were scored either way in the second half so enough said about that.
The amount of space I've given to the Premier you'd think no other games were being played and that was not the case.
In Division 1, the Dundee Hurricanes opened their win column with a 27-12 victory away to the West Coast Trojans. The Birmingham Bulls also had their first win of the season, when they beat the Redditch Arrows. The Kent Exiles were involved in yet another shoot out when they just missed out in Cambridge against the Cats. The Cats treated their home fans to a narrow victory but over 100 points in the Sunday Sun. BAFL 1 had a famous old rivalry this past weekend when the Ipswich Cardinals visited the Norwich Devils. This is one fixture that no matter what the recent results of each of the teams have been both team are out to win the game and win it well. On Sunday the victory went to the visitors, as the Cardinals won convincingly 47-0. The Devils will remember this game for a long time and will hope to put it right in their next game, chin up guys.
BAFL 2's scores flew in over the weekend as the London Olympians kept their unbeaten record against the Essex Spartans, winning 32-6. Maybe if the Spartans had 300 men (sorry I just had to one week) they could have held back the powerful O's. The Clyde Valley Blackhawks narrowly got past the Glasgow Tigers in Glasgow. I guess it's nice to have a chance to write about a Glasgow team not winning (I feel funning today). The Staffordshire Surge matched the Leicester Falcons this week meaning both teams sit with a record of 3 wins and only 1 defeat.
Keep up to date with all the goings on in the league at www.bafl.org.uk have a great week.
Follow me on Twitter for all my latest updates on all things Football from both sides of the pond and my ramblings about Fantasy Games and other stuff.

"Maybe if the Spartans had 300 men (sorry I just had to one week)"

Don't think that comment truly reflects how the game spanned our the scoreline was rather flattering for the O's who DID have that little bit more to give then Essex but they still had problems dealing with an ever improving team.

If possible try to use single sim only as dual sim consume more battery and makes phone slow(personal experience).
This is just an excellent phone. I think it is the best Samsung ever produced.
Speed is excellent, size is just right, responds as requested. It is hilarious guys, grab one..
I think if Samsung produce another phone with keyboard like this one with the same features it would be better.
Good for kids.
- Why do you like or dislike?
It is slow, it lags and not snappy.

BATON ROUGE- Hotels in the area are filling-up as Super Bowl fans look outside New Orleans for a place to stay for the game this weekend.
Ninety percent of rooms in the Capital City are expected to be booked by the time the game starts Sunday. And, the city expects all those people to spend some money.
Visit Baton Rouge said to expect crowds similar to an LSU home game, but even more money will be spent.

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) walks to the Senate Chamber to vote on legislation for funding the Department of Homeland Security on Capitol Hill in Washington March 2, 2015. Three days after lawmakers narrowly avoided a partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security in a dispute over immigration reforms, the Senate voted 58-31 to send a "clean" full-year funding bill back to the House.

(I wrote about the beginning of this leg of Jeff's journey in an earlier post, Grace)
When I got home this afternoon, I noticed my apartment still smells faintly of red meat seared in butter, sautéed onions and mushrooms, all the various aromas that are evidence of the last meal I will ever cook for Jeff. It still smells good.
Last night I fed Jeff the beef stroganoff and asked again, as I have about every other time I've seen him since he started on this particular odyssey, are you sure? are you ready? "Yes. More sure than ever," he told me and as I held the cup for him to drink, I noted he had mastered using the straw without aspirating. Then I forked up another couple of noodles and a chunk of meat heavy with sour cream-enriched sauce.
This morning I was up and baking cookies to take to Randell and Joey's, where we would gather to welcome Jeff home and participate in the service of Last Rites. I was late.
It was beautiful, the room: the gorgeous, large needlepoint worked by Jeff's grandmother was hung over the dresser, which was covered in pictures of Jeff and his children, his parents, his brother. Jeff in the hospital bed faced a wall of windows overlooking a natural, un-landscaped area with not another building in sight. It was lovely.
Jeff himself was in good form, being fed chocolate by everyone: Reese's peanut butter cups, dark chocolates and eventually one of my cookies, a new concoction of oats, cranberries and toasted pecans which turned out well enough for the maiden voyage of a recipe. There were approximately 18 - 20 of us and most are Episcopalians from the Dallas area; we like a party and there were already cookies and coffee, nuts, cheese and crackers laid out in the kitchen/family area. A kind neighbor delivered fried chicken with all the trimmings, so after the initial religious service we tucked into lunch.
Though we all choked up a bit during the Last Rites, there was still a lot of laugher, many jokes made at Jeff's expense and I think he managed to hit each of us with some well-aimed shots of his own.
When it was time to remove the ventilator, we all gathered again around Jeff and most of us kissed him and told him we love him. Darren, the RN on duty, gave him a small dose of anti-anxiety and pain medications and I winked at Jeff from the foot of the bed. The doctor removed the ventilator and started an oxygen feed for comfort. Jeff was on his own and it was clear from the start it was going to be a struggle.
But there was no pain, and almost immediately I could see him losing color. The pain meds made him sleepy, and he struggled along for awhile, but I think we all knew 10% lung capacity was no match against Nature. The breaths became shallower and further apart. Someone led us in the Prayers of Commendation at the Time of Death. Shallower, and further and further. Darren listened to his chest, and told the other nurse, "39," which she dutifully wrote down (every medical procedure was precisely recorded, medications given by whom and how much, ventilator removed, oxygen started, vitals). Further and further. Jeff's daughter, Joanna, smoothed his hair and stroked his arm, his son knelt by the side of the bed and held his hand. Two of us at the foot of the bed patted his legs through the quilt St. Patrick's prayer quilt ministry sent from Pagosa Springs, Colorado.
I prayed silently to God make it swift, while he's surrounded by love and can look down on us in benediction as he leaves this poor tortured shell behind. I whispered it's ok, it's ok, to Jeff but I don't know if he heard me. Darren listened again and told us, "he's gone now, I am so sorry for your loss" but what I thought was, he made it, he made it to the other side.
There were a lot of sniffles, many tears. Even the Hospice folks were wiping their eyes. One had told me earlier that they had all grown fond of Jeff in the time they had known him. Jeff was like that: he never knew a stranger and it was impossible to go anywhere with him without running into someone he had once known, gone to school or worked with, or with whom he couldn't establish some sort of familial connection. It was like hanging out with a human version of the game Six Degrees of Separation.
We all took turns hugging Joanna, and I put my hands on my Godson's shoulders and hugged him. We had both been pretty tough until we saw each other crying, and he didn't argue when I handed him tissue. Everyone hugged each other, eventually, and we were all glad it had gone as Jeff wanted: surrounded by people who loved him, music he loved playing, and with dignity.
The Hospice people made necessary phone calls, and some folks left. Joanna mentioned hearing a lawnmower running somewhere in the neighborhood and thinking, "How dare you? How dare you go on with Life when my dad is dying," which seemed a perfectly reasonable thing to think. She wondered what was waiting for her, emotionally; though she'd stood at his side as he left, it didn't yet seem real. In two weeks or so, I told her, when most of the hullabaloo is over, it will hit you. At weird times, and in weird places. The Bereavement Counselor chimed in with, "And anything you feel is perfectly alright," God bless him. That's right, I told her. And later I said, you know where I am; you have my phone number.
Life moves forward and the guys putting gas in the Official Pace Car on the other side of the pump at the Wal-Mart gas station had no idea I fed my friend a cookie sometime around noon today, and watched him take his last breath approximately two hours later. Life moves forward, but my apartment still smells like the beef stroganoff I fed my friend less than twenty-four hours ago. I guess that's a metaphor and perhaps an appropriate one for a man who loved food and to cook, loved life, loved his children, loved God. When in future I walk into a memory of him, I know it will bring a smile the way a good meal made with rich ingredients well-combined leaves it's fragrance in the kitchen and makes one breathe deeply, and remember.
I'm sure you've heard this before, but here it is again:
the great Roomy:
I died as a mineral and became a plant,
I died as plant and rose to animal,
I died as animal and I was Man.
Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Yet once more I shall die as Man, to soar
With angels blest; but even from angelhood
I must pass on: all except God doth perish.
When I have sacrificed my angel-soul,
I shall become what no mind e'er conceived.
Oh, let me not exist! for Non-existence
Proclaims in organ tones, To Him we shall return.

A wheelchair with a lifting function is designed to assist a caregiver when transferring a wheelchair user not only indoors but also outdoors. The target user is typically a severely disabled person with disabled upper and lower limbs and therefore needs the physical support when using a toilet or transferring from a bed to a wheelchair and so forth. Both the wheelchair and the lift are driven by their respective motors. The user can approach above the toilet stool or the bed from the rear because the large driving wheels are located in front of the body, and the seat can be folded. This wheelchair is allowed to travel on public roads because of the mechanism of folding the frame for lifting. This paper presents the concept design and the experimental results of a full-sized prototype wheelchair with the lifting function, which confirms the design effectiveness.

Neiman Marcus lights beacons for in-store shoppers
The high-end fashion retailer is piloting beacons in three stores, using the mobile technology to send shoppers directions to in-store events.
We measure the growth and performance of the Second 500 e-retailers—ones operating in North America that are ranked 501-1,000 based on 2013 online sales— for the same reason we report hundreds of metrics on each of the Top 500 web merchants: to provide e-retailers with competitive information they can use to improve their businesses. There's as much competitive information to be gleaned in studying mid-tier players as there is in tracking the major e-retailers. In fact, the competitive secrets of the all-new 2014 Second 500 Guide may be even more compelling because they are lesser known and are often more innovative and aggressive when it comes to applying best e-retailing practices. They target market niches better than many large e-retailers and use social media more effectively as well. And because they compete for the quarter of e-commerce that is not controlled by the Top 500, they offer powerful competitive models for the hundreds of thousands of serious e-retailers who can build a profitable e-commerce business without ever making it to the Major Leagues.

District Man Convicted of Sexually Abusing Two Young Girls
- One Victim Was a Relative, Other Was in a Day Care Program -
WASHINGTON - A 42-year-old man was convicted by a jury today of sexually abusing two young girls in the District of Columbia, including one who was a relative, U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. announced.
The defendant, of Washington, D.C., is not identified here to protect the privacy of his victims. He was found guilty in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia of three counts of first degree child sexual abuse with aggravating circumstances and three counts of second degree child sexual abuse with aggravating circumstances. The Honorable William M. Jackson scheduled sentencing for March 30, 2012. The defendant faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of release.
According to the government's evidence, the defendant repeatedly sexually abused the relative over a period of one and a half years, starting in September 2002, when the victim was nine years old. The victim came forward in 2009, after learning that the defendant had sexually assaulted another girl - this one, four years old, while he was at his girlfriend's in-home daycare. Most of the crimes took place in Northeast Washington.
The defendant has been in custody since his arrest in September 2009.
In announcing the jury's verdict, U.S. Attorney Machen expressed his appreciation to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), especially Detectives Stephanie Garner and Jeffrey Folts. He also commended the work of Legal Assistants Tanisha Nelson and Charmonique Price, Paralegal Specialists Kristy Penny and Donhue Griffith, Victim Advocate Veronica Vaughan, and the Litigation Support Unit, including Tracy Van Atta. He acknowledged the outstanding work of the Children's Advocacy Center, which provided critical services and treatment to the child victim. U.S. Attorney Machen especially praised Assistant U.S. Attorneys Karen Shinskie and Kimberly Nielsen, who indicted the case, and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Lindsay Suttenberg and Lauren Dickie, who prosecuted the case.
