Unemployment Outflow and Unemployment Insurance Taxes
The system of Unemployment Insurance (UI) financing in the US draws its funds from a payroll tax on employers and varies the tax rate according to the individual employer's layoff history. There exists extensive evidence on the effect of this so-called experience rated tax on layoff decisions. However, since firms are liable for each dollar of regular UI benefits paid to laid off former employees, experience rating may also affect recall behavior. The present study therefore measures the effect of the UI financing system on the duration of unemployment. Using duration data is essential since tax charges to the firm vary over the duration of unemployment spells. Empirical results based on data with various sources of variation suggest that higher layoff tax costs shorten the duration of recall unemployment.

(By Balachander) Diversified technology company 3M Co. (NYSE: MMM) is expected to post a 4 percent increase in quarterly earnings per share (EPS) on an increase in revenue from new products.
Wall Street analysts, on average, expect MMM to earn $1.41 a share and revenue growth of 1.30 percent to $7.18 billion for the fourth quarter ended December.
3M, with 2011 sales of $29.61 billion, operates in six business segments: Consumer and Office, Electro and Communications, Health Care, Display and Graphics, Safety, Security and Protection Services and Industrial and Transportation.
The company last month affirmed its 2012 EPS forecast of $6.27 to $6.35, while Wall Street analysts expect $6.32 on revenue of $29.8 billion. 3M anticipates 2013 EPS of $6.70 to $6.95, while analysts expect $6.85.
[Related -Invest In Stocks With A Margin Of Safety To Reduce Risk And Enhance Returns]
"While 3M's innovation-driven growth model remains strong with sales from new products a record 33 percent in '12E (vs 32 percent in '11 and 21 percent in '05), with global growth remaining subdued and valuation a fair 13.6x '13E EPS, we maintain our Hold," Deutsche Bank wrote in a note last month.
During the current month, four analysts have recommended MMM as a "Strong Buy" and three analysts gave "Buy" rating, while 10 analysts gave a "Hold" rating on the stock. There is no analyst who recommends "Sell" on the stock.
For the third quarter, the company's EPS increased 9 percent to $1.65, matching Wall Street projections. Earnings attributable to 3M grew 7.4 percent to $1.16 billion. Net sales declined 0.5 percent to $7.49 billion, while consensus estimate called in for a growth of 1.30 percent. Total operating income margins were 22.4 percent, with all of MMM's six business segments recording above 21 percent.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Is Jahii Carson following in James Harden's footsteps?
In 2006-07, the Arizona State basketball team finished a dismal 8-22 with only two conference wins.
The commitment from highly-recruited James Harden from California provided hope for ASU's following season.
During Harden's freshman season with the Sun Devils, he led head coach Herb Sendek's team to a 21-12 record, just missing the NCAA Tournament. Harden shot 52% from the field, averaging 17.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game as a freshman.
Harden's departure for the NBA following his sophomore year left a considerable void, but history found a way to repeat itself four seasons later.
The arrival and performance of Jahii Carson, another highly-recruited talent, has turned heads throughout college basketball.
Just a year ago, the Sun Devils finished 10-21 under Sendek, his worst season since the year prior to Harden's arrival.
With Carson now at the helm, Sendek's 2012 season could potentially be one of the best during his 19-year coaching career. The Sun Devils' 16-4 start to the 2012-2013 campaign with a 5-2 Pac-12 conference record places them just outside of the top 25 and third in the conference.
People credit much of the Sun Devils' recent success to the 5-foot-10 point guard out of Mesa High School.
Through 20 games, Carson is averaging a Harden-like 17.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, while shooting 44% from the field.
While both players led their respective teams to 16-4 starts, Carson intends to do something that Harden didn't do his freshman season -- go to the NCAA Tournament. With 11 games left in the regular season before the Pac-12 Tournament, Carson's chances of doing so are looking pretty good.

"Good story, HORRENDOUS narration."
Kim Stanley Robinson has a pretty narrow audience. Are you in that audience? Did you like the Mars trilogy? Are you a hobbyist geologist/astronomer/physicist/chemist/engineer/biologist/ecologist/mathematician/programmer/etc? Or - better still - are you a professional in any of these fields? Yes? Then you'll be happy to know that 2312 is exactly what you expect: it's more of KSR doing what he does, and doing it well. So, grab your pocket protector and your graphing calculator, and run - don't walk - down to your local bookstore and buy a physical copy of the book and read it; you're going to love it. But, beware: do not buy the audiobook. Why? Well, I'm glad you asked...
This audiobook represents the absolute worst narration of any story I've ever heard, in any genre, anywhere, anytime, ever. No, I'm not being hyperbolic; it really was *that bad*. Sarah Zimmerman does not have an unpleasant voice, but the way it is delivered in this book is absolutely..."unlistenable."
For starters, Ms. Zimmerman's delivery is remarkably monotone; no matter what she's reading, it all sounds the same. Interpersonal dialog? Omniscient narrator's perspective? Supplemental lists and excerpts academic information supplemental to the story? Yep; it all sounds identical. Similarly, there is almost no attempt at voice characterization. There is a brief moment towards the middle of the book where one of the characters (Inspector Jean Genette, a flesh-and-blood person) starts to speak in a monotone drone that is slightly reminiscent of the stereotypical 1950s sci-fi robot voice meme, but that's about it. But that's not the worst part. What truly ruins the whole production is the fact that the cadence of Ms. Zimmerman's narration (or, rather, lack thereof) appears to completely disregard punctuation. What do I mean? Well...
Imagine. A, book where the punctuation, is completely random without following. Any conventional. Rules of phrasing or -- voice or -- timing or meter or anything that gives. The language it musicality its, flow its inflection its, meter. Imagine. Trying to, understand, a, text that is narrated. In, a manner that seems to, be. Written the same, way, I have written. This paragraph.
....Yeah. Like that. Now, admittedly, the above paragraph was a bit of an exaggeration for the purpose illustrating the point. But here's the thing: sadly, it wasn't *that* hyperbolic.
Now, take that chaotic, unstructured narration, add a monotone voice, and a total lack of voice characterization, and what you get is a story that takes real, conscious effort to follow. I can imagine this would be particularly difficult for people who don't have at least a passing familiarity with the scientific/engineering topics presented therein. I will admit that I *eventually* got used to it, but it tool over 12 hours of narration before I could stop skipping back to hear passages again in order to comprehend them. In fact, it was so bad, for the first five or six hours of the book, I could only listen to 30 minutes at a stretch before I had to take a break. With most audiobooks, I can - and have! - listened for hours and hours on end.
I have one final complaint about the narration -- and this may be a nitpick, but... If a person is going to narrate a book written by someone who ranks among the "hardest" of the hard science fiction authors - a book where science *is* the main character - then one should probably know how to properly pronounce words like "coronal" (as in, coronal mass ejection), or "teleological." And Ms. Zimmerman doesn't.
While it's surprising that such a poor quality product (the audio rendering of KSR's book) would be available from a respected publisher, it's downright incomprehensible when one considers that Sarah Zimmerman is just one person in a group of people involved in its creation. In addition to the narrator, there's also a producer, a director, an editor (or two), engineers...and NONE of these people said, somewhere along the line, "Hey, you know, this doesn't sound so good...?" Really? Really?!
If you like this author's other work, if you're a sci-fi fan with a truly nerdly bent, 2312 might be right up your alley. But get a *physical copy* to read the good 'ol fashioned way, because the audio rendering of this work is so amazingly bad, it detracts and distracts from the content of the story itself. Save your money; this audiobook isn't even worth the paper it's printed on.

Well located well priced.
Good service helpful staff nicely fitted out room and bath
A great choice in the heart of Sydney
For a top-class hotel in the heart of the Sydney Central Business District, the Westin Sydney is an excellent choice. At the intersection of Martin Place and George St., you are just steps away from world-class shopping and restaurants. The City Recital Hall is literally only steps away, and the CityRail Wynyard and Martin Place stations are each only a couple of minutes walk away. During the business week the lobby and the adjoining 1 Martin Place center were bustling with well-dressed business customers. This made for an attractive setting whether your purpose was business or leisure. The staff at the Westin were unfailingly helpful and courterous. The room (in the Tower section) was spectacular, with glass and blonde wood, very comfortable as well. The health club was particularly good, with excercise machines, massages, and a lap pool. I was able to use their facilities to clean up after my arrival before my room became available. Only complaint: the buffet breakfast was good quality but expensive at $42. I recommend getting this as part of your hotel rate if possible. If not, find a nearby cafe that serves breakfast. Some suggestions: The MOS Cafe at the Museum of Sydney near Circular Quay serves breakfast all day in a nice setting. Or, during the business week, the Cafe Angel around the corner from the City Recital Hall serves a less fancy but far more authentic breakfast special with eggs, bacon, toast and coffee for about AU$10. And there is also a cafe in the 1 Martin Place center adjoining the hotel lobby that has bread items and such plus coffee.
If you are visiting Sydney, and have the time and budget for a top-class restaurant, try the Aria Restaurant overlooking the Sydney Opera House at 1 Macquarie Street. This is only 1 train stop away (Wynyard to Circular Quay), or a short taxi ride. The view of the opera house and harbour is unparalleled, and the food and service match the setting.

Harmony Gold's Biggest Problem
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Harmony Gold (HMY - Get Report) has a lot of gold with one big problem: location.
On paper, Harmony has a lot of positives. In its fiscal fourth quarter ended in June, the company's cash operating profit grew 49% while selling 345,266 ounces of gold at cash costs of $831 an ounce. The company is on track to produce 1.7 million ounces of gold in its next fiscal year and has 48.1 million ounces of reserves. Harmony also pays an annual dividend of 14 cents a share.
Despite its cash flow, however, the company reported a headline loss of a penny per share because of a strong local currency, restructuring issues and rising electricity and labor costs. The company mines 96% of its gold in South Africa and is currently expanding in Papua New Guinea and Australia. Harmony recently entered into a preliminary agreement to buy Scorpio Gold's Caribou Gold Property in Nova Scotia as the company rushes to diversify into other locations.
Its biggest problem, according to CEO Graham Briggs, speaking recently at the Denver Gold Forum, remains the stigma attached to South African miners. TheStreet: What's your biggest headache mining in South Africa? Briggs: In South Africa, a lot has been written about the mining charter and black empowerment. Harmony is in a good position on all these issues. Those aren't our risk areas but when you look at investors come overseas to Denver or New York and speak to investors they raise this as quite a big issue but it's really not a big issue for our company .... really the big issue is around the press and what happens there. So why aren't they factors for you? Briggs: If you look at black empowerment, Harmony's 33% black empowered. If you look at previously disadvantaged people who need to get into positions of management, Harmony is at 40% nowCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Everyone: I want to ask if you would PLEASE BE IN PRAYER FOR ME! An older man standing behind me today in Wal-Mart swiped my wallet after I purchased my groceries. A police report was filed. The manager has reviewed the surveillance and although the man's face could be seen clearly (described as "an older dark skinned Haitian looking man") on the video he could not be identified as his license plate wasn't viewable on the video. My cash and personal information (birth certificate, SS card, voter's card, debit card, Access card, etc...)--the perfect recipe for identity theft (which I'm most concerned about) was in there. This will set me back financially and personally---maybe even a few months (as far as plans) as I have to first get all of my statistics done again (which I just got done recently)... and a new job opportunity that was opening for me requires me to purchase (at $130...) a badge which would also require personal ID.
I am keeping a good attitude about this as worse things are happening to people. But honestly, this hurts. It couldn't have happened at a worse time! But I am praying that my wallet will be returned somehow or that my Identity will at least be protected as well as myself and my family (being that this man now knows where I live). So if you find the time and I cross your mind please be in agreement with me in PRAYER! My name is *Darron.* Thank you

Over the past 20 years the range of cars on offer has increased dramatically.
We are buying smaller cars - though small cars are actually getting bigger - with less powerful but more efficient and cleaner engines. In part, this shift to smaller cars and more efficient engines is driven by cost and lifestyle choices. We're also a lot more willing, whilst there's a financial incentive to do so, to drive diesel cars.
It also reflects a much greater awareness of the environmental and the social cost of motoring. We're using our cars less for long journeys and more for shorter ones, such as shopping and commuting.
Smaller cars and engines not only make more sense, they do less environmental damage.
It's very clear that the cars we'll be driving in 20 years' time will be near-unrecognisable compared to those we were driving just 20 years ago.
But can technology do more than just give us better and better cars?
Can it make a serious contribution to helping us achieve a sustainable future for motoring?
These are big and important questions that affect the future of everyone in Britain.

An Automatic Recorder of Spectral Sensitivity of Photoelectric Surfaces
JOSA, Vol. 31, Issue 11, pp. 689-692 (1941)
Acrobat PDF (696 KB)
A method of recording automatically spectral sensitivity of photoelectric surfaces has been developed. It consists of a Hardy spectrophotometer supplied with attachments for 60-cycle modulation of two glow discharge lamps. One of the lamps, serving as light intensity reference source, is supplied with an iris whose aperture is controlled mechanically by the analyzer cam. The other lamp is controlled photoelectrically so that its light intensity is proportional to the relative spectral sensitivity of the investigated photoelectrical surface. Light emitted by both lamps is received by the detector photo-tube which by means of thyratrons controls the recording mechanism.

The serological diagnosis of syphilis is performed by demonstrating the presence of significant levels of specific Treponema Pallidum antibodies in serum/plasma. The commonly used reference methods and techniques require laborious execution and complicated interpretation. Alternative methods have therefore been introduced to simplify the procedure. One Step Anti-TP (Treponema Pallidum) Test is a rapid qualitative screening test that can be performed without the use of an instrument. The test utilizes purified recombinant antigen to specifically detect the presence of Treponema Pallidum specific antibodies. It allows the detection of both IgG and IgM.

Hansen upset as 3-5 favorite
By Claire Novak
Jockey Corey Nakatani and Macho Macho let Louisiana Derby winner Hero of Order do the dirty work wearing out and 3-5 favorite Hansen in the $750,000 West Virginia Derby, then rolled home from a perfect stalking position to claim the victory at Mountaineer Casino Racetrack & Resort Aug. 4.
Hansen, the 2011 2-year-old champion racing with a blue tail for Dr. Kendall Hansen and trainer Mike Maker under Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith, tired in the 1 1/8 mile test after Hero of Order pressed the pace on the inside from the break all the way to the final turn. He finished fourth behind Macho Macho and late closers Bourbon Courage and Called to Serve.
"For some reason they wanted to be in front of him," Smith remarked of the pressure from Hero of Order up front. "They wound up way back and ended up costing me the race. He ran ok, but he was really hot and got pressured all the way. It just wasn't his day."
Hansen and Hero of Order matched strides for a :24.43 opening quarter, then went the half in :47.33 while Macho Macho, the 9-2 second choice in the field of nine sophomore runners, rolled along in third.
"The game plan was to make Hansen and Hero of Order have to commit early," Nakatani said. "Eddie did that, and Hansen had to use himself up."
Hansen hit the final turn on the front end after three-quarters in 1:11.23, but the gray Tapit colt was leg-weary and easily passed by Macho Macho after a mile in 1:36.75. The 3-year-old colt wrested a short lead a sixteenth out and held off a rail-running Bourbon Courage to prevail by a half-length in a final time of 1:49.98.
"This colt keeps getting better," Nakatani remarked.
Darren Fleming, assistant to trainer Steve Asmussen, was on hand to saddle Macho Macho and Tapizar, who won the West Virginia Governor's Stakes under Nakatani one race earlier.
"He really ran a great race," Fleming remarked of the West Virginia Derby victor, who gave Asmussen a record fourth triumph in the race. "We were expecting a good effort because he has really come around."
Macho Macho returned $11.60, $5.60, and $11 while Bourbon Courage paid $6.60 and $15.40 and Called to Serve paid $23. Hansen, Hero of Order, Penn's Grant, Macho Bull, Z Camelot, and Le Bernardin completed the order of finish. Morgan's Guerrilla was scratched by the stewards.
Macho Macho, a gray or roan colt bred in Kentucky by C. Kidder, J.K. Griggs & Linda Griggs out of the General Meeting mare Dazzling Contrast, came off a runner-up finish in the July 8 Long Branch Stakes at Monmouth Park. He improved his career record to 3-2-1 from seven starts with earnings of $546,214. It was his first graded stakes score; he ran third in the June 16 Matt Winn Stakes at Churchill Downs.

The United States generates almost half its electricity by burning coal -- an outdated, toxic technology that spews pollutants into the air. Coal's carbon dioxide pollution is a major contributing factor to climate change. Coal also emits a host of toxic "conventional pollutants" -- mercury, nitrous oxides, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter and others -- that inflict severe damage on the body's major organ systems.

As we continue to burn fossil fuels, the atmosphere warms, and world climate changes. Higher temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, and rising sea levels lead to more frequent heat waves; more frequent intense storms; increased flooding; in some places, increased drought; loss of shoreline and greater risk from storms in coastal and low-lying areas. These bring increased risk of disease, injury, nutritional deficit, and death. Read more »

When a hotel's name means "surprise," my expectations surely rise; such was the case with Alila, whose Sanskrit name translates to just that. During my last trip to Malaysia and Indonesia, there was no greater sheer surprise than Alila Ubud, a modern marvel that rests on the floor of an untouched jungle in Bali.
We love the start of a new year; and not just because all the "New Year, New You" hype, but more so because it means 365 days of potential travel ahead. For 2015, to assist you with your own travel plans, we thought we'd put together a list of some of our favorite destinations to visit by month. Keeping in mind that sightseeing is typically an outdoor activity, we chose each destination based on its sunniest and/or its most pleasant weather months.
With the success of Airbnb and home exchange programs, it was only a short time before companies began to get even more creative with their home-swap communities. Crafted as an exclusive membership for designers and visual artists such as architects, film makers, stylists, photographers, and interior designers, Behomm is an invitation-only home exchange program for those with a similar love of tasteful things and beautiful homes around the world.
With the year coming to an end in just seven short weeks, we thought we'd get plans for 2015 started with a look at next year's cruises through Asia. Pairing together places such as Singapore with Bali and Mynamar with Tokyo, we couldn't get enough of all the offerings available next year. We handpicked six of our favorites to share to give you a little bit of wanderlust for the continent filled with ancient wonders, mouth-watering cuisine and a deeply spiritual heritage.
Originally meant to be 11 private homes in Bali for hosting their friends and family, Canadian-born jewelry designer John Hardy and his wife's collection of antique Javanese houses are now used as an eco-friendly boutique hotel in Ubud. Bambu Indah, translated beautiful bamboo, celebrates Balinese culture and modern luxury through sustainable practices.
It has been a rough few years for Bali. Once the premier luxury Southeast Asian beach destination for jetsetters and backpackers alike, the island suffered a downturn after the 2002 bombings (Eat, Pray, Love popularity notwithstanding), and a raft of new competing destinations like the Maldives, Koh Samui in Thailand and Danang in Vietnam began to grow in popularity.
The Mulia, Mulia Resort & Villas, Bali is the kind of hotel that, once there, tempts you to quit your job and never return home. With its elegant guestrooms, lavish amenities and stunning seaside setting, it's the ultimate getaway and tropical haven.
Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group is currently in progress on developing a luxurious hotel and resort in Bali that will offer guests an abundance of amenities including an adjacent 18-hole golf course, beach club, kids' club and breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean.
Bali has been able to attract millions of tourists each year, with its unmatched natural beauty and relaxed island lifestyle. The Bali Tourism Agency recently set a projection for 2014 tourism based on national security, sanitation, traffic and services at 3.5 million, 10 percent more than was predicted for 2013.
Sofitel has brought their flair for sophisticated French hospitality to popular destinations all over the world, most recently landing in Dubai and Bali. Sofitel Dubai The Palm Resort & Spa opened its Polynesian-themed hotel in July 2013 and Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort—the brand's first Indonesian property—is set to open on December 20, 2013.
From the moment foot onto The Mulia, a stunning beach property in Bali, you'll know you have arrived to the kind of destination that exceeds expectations
Bali is Indonesia's smallest province with a population of approximately 4 million. Located just eight degrees south of the equator, this majestic "Island of the Gods" enjoys balmy weather throughout the year. The vibrant, lush landscapes, warm waters, long beaches, rice patties, rugged coastlines, ancient temples, and spiritual culture make Bali one of the world's most popular island destinations.
The Ritz-Carlton is planning to open a new hotel in Bali in 2014. The hotel will be ideally situated amongst the island's most beautiful beaches and will offer specially created activities and experiences.... Read More
Bali, Indonesia. Ill say it again, Bali, Indonesia. If youre like most, pictures of tropical beaches, serene beauty or Balinese art probably flashed in your mind at the mere mention of the Indonesian province. Personally, Ive pictured myself there a million times; of course Im wearing a long white dress and well, thats another topic. Among its sandy shores, sits a plethora of four- and five-star hotels that equally compare in beauty and tranquility. Naturally, when we learned the Capella Hotel Group was opening a second property there in September, we were eager to see how the resort would compare to its competitors.... Read More
Designer Philippe Stark's brilliant vision is heading to Indonesia. A private village of 12 limited edition villas with signature glass facades by artist JonOne and designed by Stark is due to begin breaking ground in 2013.

Inspired by a vision of vibrant streets across the world coming together in a monolithic 65-foot-wide stairway, the property will include a café patisserie, restaurant, bar lounge, boutique, mezzanine biblioth?que, signature spa, and workout facilities. "The Stairs, without a doubt, shall become the boiling bucket of energy, activity and intelligence of Bali, and perhaps more," describes Philippe Starck, the brainchild behind the design...

Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs: Who Is Roberta Jacobson?
Roberta S. Jacobson took over as the
State Department
's Acting Assistant Secretary for
Western Hemisphere Affairs
on July 18, 2011. On September 27, President Barack Obama nominated her to be Assistant Secretary. She was finally confirmed by the Senate on March 29, 2012.
A Foreign Service officer who has spent her career working on US-Latin American relations, Jacobson had been serving as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary since December 6, 2010, with responsibility for regional political, security and economic issues. In addition, she is the senior coordinator for the State Department's "Security Initiatives" in the Western Hemisphere (
