The Recovery Isn't Jobless, But Job Growth Is Still Weak
Wednesday, March 09 2011 | 04:32 PM
James Picerno
A number of pundits warn that the U.S. is suffering from an era of jobless recoveries. It's a popular complaint and it's surely grounded in legitimate concerns about the labor market's strength. But taken at face value, the claim that we're in a jobless recovery is false. The economy's recovering and new jobs are being created. Since the private-sector labor market started growing in the latest cycle in March 2010, total nonfarm private payrolls are higher by 1.5 million through February 2011, based on seasonally adjusted figures, which are used in the analysis below as well. That's a fraction of the jobs lost in the Great Recession, but modest job growth isn't the same thing as a jobless recovery.
The real issue is deciding how the trend in job creation compares with history. To start, let's look at a graph of the monthly change in private nonfarm payrolls over the last 30 years. The average monthly rise for those decades is roughly 93,000, as indicated by the blue line in the chart below. Obviously, the economy has a history of creating jobs over the previous three decades. But it's also true that running a linear regression over those years on the month numbers reveals a gently falling trend (red line). In other words, it appears that the strength of job creation has been weakening through time.
Analyzing the trend over long stretches of time has limits, of course. A more productive focus is comparing job creation during the recovery phases. Considering that there are several ways to proceed, the challenge is deciding how to evaluate the data. One possibility is adding up the total of monthly changes in nonfarm payrolls for each post-recession growth period, based on NBER's cycle dates. By that standard, the last full growth cycle was weak for minting jobs. Nonfarm private payrolls rose by just 6 million from December 2001 through December 2007. By comparison, the gain in jobs during previous cycles was far higher: nearly 22 million for 1991-2011, and 18 million from 1982 to 1990.
Other measures of the labor market's strength also show that the 2001-2007 period looks weak vs. its predecessors. Average monthly job creation was substantially lower in 2001-2007 vs. the earlier periods, for instance. The trend doesn't look any better if we measure the total net change in private nonfarm payrolls as a percentage of the civilian labor force at the peak of each cycle.
Clearly, there's a subpar recovery in jobs in recent years. The big question is whether the 2001-2007 period was an exception or a sign of things to come? Based on the trend since the Great Recession was formally declared history, the case for optimism looks weak.
Measured from the first month of the current expansion, the net change in total private nonfarm payrolls is a mere 362,000. This figure includes the first eight months of the current "expansion," when the economy continued to lose jobs. Before the next recession arrives, surely many more jobs will be created. Indeed, the recent economic news is relatively upbeat for thinking that the recovery is picking up speed. February's jobs report, for instance, was the best in nearly a year.
But it's also true that we are now 21 months into the recovery and total job creation is, at best, modest on both relative and absolute levels. The hope is that this expansion runs longer than usual (the post-World War Two average is 59 months) and/or the labor market accelerates. The prospects on these fronts are mixed. What is clear is that there's a huge amount of ground to make up from the Great Recession and the record so far in repairing the damage is uninspiring. It's not a jobless recovery, but that's cold comfort given the hole we're in.

Lab testing and getting to the core
Lab testing and getting to the core
Since I have been doing this long enough I have developed a system to help medical professionals to get down to the root cause of the problem with in 4 weeks to get answers their patients seek. People that have contacted me have spend thousands of dollars still having no answers. Now you can work with your dr to get down to the root cause of the problem. The nutra eval from genova is a very complex test to interpret. The Dr's usually have very little education on how to properly analyze it. Their patients are referred to me for further analysis. I hope this process helps any one who has been bounced around from Dr to Dr. I have been in that position my self and it was nothing but frustrating and confusing.
Here are the list of test which I recommend to Dr's to run to get an over all view of their patient.
These test are all covered by quest diagnostic..PLEASE MAKE SURE HE USES PROPER DIAGNOSTIC CODES which I listed some below. PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL DEDUCTABLES ARE CHECKED so you do not get hit with a surprise..
adrenal insufficiency
malabsorption unspecific
low libido
other hormone issues non specific
growth hormone deficiency
testosterone deficeincy
testicular dysfunction
nutritional deficiency
lyme infection
LHtotal testosteorne
Bio testosterone
estradiol sensitive (10-50) or 13-54 not rapid
cortisol am and free
Cortisol binding globulin
total t4
ft3 - not t-3 uptake
vitamin D
food allergy complete panel
lyme panel - if you are in upper state NY, PA, NJ, or mountainous areas associated with this condition
CBC with diffs
CMP with liver panel
ACTH serum
b-12/folate serum
iodine random urine
insulin total and free
celiac disease panel
antigliaden ab, IgG
urinary amino acid random - check for malabsorption of proteins.
You can also have your Dr open an acct with genova at no cost. He gets a free educational kit. He could order you the nutra eval which will give me more information then I will know what to do with to get down to the source of your issue. This will be a win win situation as its free. May cost you $29 bucks to draw the blood, but you will not have to worry about dealing with insurance. Do the nutra eval test then it will tell us if we need to go further with parasite testing. The nutra eval corresponds 90% with the gut test from parasite lab so before jumping the gun to order the GI testing. I just want to make it known that I have no affiliation with genova or parasite lab in anyway. I have use these labs in the past with complex cases with great success. - 07-12-2011, 10:51 PM

This is a lot of lab work to ask physician to order. In another thread you had suggested about five labs to check after switching to the compounded test, should I include these as well? - 12-05-2011, 01:27 AM

With adrenal testing you mean check cortisol and anything else? Also with thyroid is there a specific test or just thyroid? Heard from doc in Ok?

Genealogy of BURKDOLL - NOELL and Allied FamiliesUpdated September 12, 2001 |
Joseph L Noell email@example.com |
Edit Your Page |
I am researching the following lines in the my NOELL and BURKDOLL ancestry: ASHLEY BIERLE BROMLEY BURKDOLL BUTLER BOYD CASEY CURTIS DOERR EVANS EYRE FOEHR FULTON FUQUA GROVES HARDAWAY HATCHER HAUCK HONEYMAN HUBBARD JACKSON JONES LONG LOUND NICOLAY MILLER NOEL NOELL PAGE PEIRCE PERCIVAL RAINSFORD RICHARDS TUCKER VANDERSLICE NOELL Descendants of Cornelius Noell (Noel) b. 1623 in Leiden, Zuid, Holland, Netherlands. BURKDOLL This genealogy traces the family history of the Burkdoll family in America. It begins with Joseph the emmigrant from Germany and then continues with our ancestors who descended from his son Abraham Burkdoll. The actual spelling of the German surname is unknown. There is some family lore that says when our family came to this country they spelled their name Burkdahl but changed it when they came over here. There was a big estate in Germany but they didn't know the name of the direct ancestors so they couldn't collect it. As all genealogists know family stories may be some distortion of the actual truth. I have found the named spelled various ways in the records in the US. Further research is required to find out more. I doubt that the name was spelled the way the family lore states. Abraham Burkdoll purchased land in Switzerland County Indiana when the state was formed in 1816. About 1849 Abraham and family migrated to Howard County. Looking at the land sales it appears that Abraham had sold all of his property and retired about 1856. He and his wife returned to Switzerland County to live with son John Harrison Burkdoll. Sons Stephen Burkdoll and William Burkdoll removed to Missouri but in early 1860 moved on to Osage and Franklin Counties in Kansas where they purchased homesteads. The Civil War began soon after in 1861. Son George Franklin Burkdoll was a Civil War Veteran who resided in Spencer County after the war. Both John Harrison Burkdoll and George Franklin Burkdoll purchased land there in 1861. Between 1880-1883 they also left for Osage County Kansas. John Harrison Burkdoll later moved about 1.5 miles from Ingalls, Payne County, OK 1890. More details are on the link below to Rootsweb. |

He is doing his best. He has printed up a postcard depicting Fonda wearing an Uncle Sam hat, pointing and saying, "I want YOU to abolish war." He distributes the postcard, which is conveniently preaddressed to Fonda and Turner, to potential supporters so they can lobby the pair. He has also prepared a petition directly aimed at Fonda, which includes requests such as "Jane -- we want you to pose for the statue of Freeda." So far he's gathered only a few signatures.
Finally, Gilbert has written Fonda several impassioned letters. The first was penned shortly after he had his first vision of Freeda, just before Hurricane Andrew struck: In a dreamlike state, he saw a goddess standing on a book of law on a mountaintop; she resembled Freija, the Norse goddess of smiling Nature. He awoke the next day, made a rough sketch of his peace icon, and dubbed it Freeda. "Will you do this for me?" he entreated Fonda. "For Humanity? Please Jane, this could make you immortal."
Such passionate idealism has long animated Gilbert, a veteran member of the small but dedicated World Federalist Association, which favors binding international law to prevent war. In 1981 he organized the Caravan of Human Survival, a demonstration that embarked from a few cities, including Miami, and wended its way via numerous college campuses to the UN, where caravaners presented 23,000 signatures calling for a nuclear freeze. It was that experience, Gilbert says, that taught him the importance of "doing things that are media-worthy."
If Jane Fonda doesn't come through for him, however, Gilbert envisions the worst. To symbolize his fears, he created a photo montage showing Freeda on Mount Trashmore, under the heading, "Freedom's Last Stand." A handwritten plea begs, "Jane -- which way should I go? It's up to you...Freeda.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email email@example.com.
hello guys, I've got some troubles with xls import.
Magento doesnââ¬â¢t allow to import xls files. I'm trying to save it to a csv. But it doesn't work. All the time i get this type of error. - "Choose your CSV file_1" I'm a newbie, maybe somebody can help me.
Yes Magento doesn't support xls import. You have to save your data to CSV file using "SAVE AS". And also very important thing - your csv file needs to be saved in UTF-8 format. I think you didn't do this. That's why you have got an error. Basicaly for you as a newbie this article will be very useful. You can find there a lot of interesting info about most common csv import errors that newbies usually do.
While converting your file to .csv, please, do not forget that you need to indicate the correct values following delimiters: "Quote string values" and "delimiter character" to separate fields data. If you do not know which delimiters you have you can check which are used in dataflow import. If you use correct delimiters, the file will be parsed properly during import.
Also, please, note that Magento has strict requirements to the file uploaded. To suit those requirements there should be indicated all the necessary for Magento columns, check the documentation here.
In case you do not have all the required data or you need to export only a couple of fields, I can offer you to run import via the application called Store Manager for Magento. Using it you will be able to adjust the information in your file, make changes on a fly, increase price without previously editing the file itself.
Here you can download 2-weeks free version of Store Manager and give it a try - http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/store-manager-for-magento.html
If any assistance required, we will gladly provide it to you.

An important event called Lausanne Global Diaspora Forum will be held in the Philippines in March 2015. This will be a gathering of up to 500 invited participants from across the globe who represent various organizations and church denominations that study and/or relate to "people on the move." Pray for all the preparations as well as for safety and travel plans for all the participants. Ask God to provide wisdom for all the speakers who will lead the plenary and breakout sessions. A compendium on diaspora missiology is one of the expected outputs of the Forum. Ask God to use the Forum to further equip and inspire His people on how to effectively respond to the challenges and opportunities presented by the global diaspora phenomenon.
Praise God that some Nigerian churches are using translated portions of the New Testament in the local language of Bwaatye for their Sunday Scripture readings. Pray that God's Word will communicate powerfully through their mother tongue. Pray for the translation process to proceed without hindrance as the translators give priority to team-checking Bible books and to providing critical input that will largely determine the final form of each book. Intercede for the family and friends of Pagiel, one of the translators who passed away last year. Pray for comfort and encouragement for those who are affected, giving them joy during this challenging time.
The Church in Myanmar recently celebrated the 200th anniversary of the arrival of missionary Adoniram Judson. While Christianity has grown to almost 9% of the country's population, the growth came through hardships. Many Christians face serious challenges that include finding good educational opportunities for their children. Pray for the faith of Myanmar Christians to grow strong so they can continue to demonstrate the love and glory of God in spite of testings and difficulties. Pray that they will have a deeper understanding of the Scriptures and a deeper commitment to God's mission.
Praise God that the people of Central Sulawesi will be able to watch the Jesus film in their own language soon. With the help of the Jesus Film Project, the film will be dubbed in the five languages of that region this year. Pray for wisdom and strength for all the teams. Pray that the local communities will be fully supportive of this project and will start making plans for showing the film systematically in different places. Pray that the people of Central Sulawesi will have a deep encounter with Jesus and recognize Him as their true and only Lord and Savior as the film is shown.
Wycliffe personnel serving overseas are required to renew their visas on a regular basis, often every three to six months, or in some situations every one or two years. The renewal process can be tedious and involve a significant amount of money. At times, errors are committed in the stamping of visas on the passports which takes extra time to correct. Thank God that an error on the visa of a Wycliffe member serving in Asia was corrected in time so she was able to attend an important gathering. Pray that the work of many Wycliffe expatriates will not be slowed down by visa challenges. Thank God for providing liaisons who effectively assist them in complying with visa requirements.
The Ministry of Labor in a Southeast Asian country is seriously considering a new policy that might disallow expatriates from serving in Bible translation projects in that nation. Pray that this policy will not be fully implemented and that God's work in this country will not be hindered. Whether the decision will be made soon or negotiations will continue, ask the Lord to provide wisdom, grace and peace for all the people concerned. Claim for God's wonderful plan to be accomplished despite government policies that could limit Bible translation work in the country.
A missions conference was organized recently for the first time in the history of Christianity in Thailand. The conference was attended by hundreds of followers of Jesus. Praise God for the various organizations that collaborated in making this event possible. Thank God also for the opportunity given to Wycliffe Thailand to promote the work of Bible translation during the event. Pray for the participants that they will continue to understand how God wants them to get involved in missions. Pray for Wycliffe Thailand as they develop ways to follow-up those who expressed interest on Bible translation ministries.

Review this carBy CarGuy88 on Wednesday, February 04, 2015
I own this car - My approximate mileage is 174,000
overall rating 8 of 10rating detailsPros: "Reliable, Spacious, Comfortable, Easy parts access"
Cons: "transmission"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I have the grand caravan with the 3.8, First off the power this thing puts out is impressive. the acceleration by far is better then any other mini i have driving, and it even handles well when you put the pedal down. The torque is pretty impressive as well. i pull a 4x8 utility trailer with about 1100 pounds of garbage in it, with no problem at all. As i don't have any children yet i rarely have the back seats in my van, this makes for a compact cargo van with the comforts of driving a sedan. Besides the known transmission problems, there is nothing about this van i would change. I hope this might have helped for anyone debating purchasing one of these butes."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 110,000
overall rating 6 of 10rating detailsPros: "great value, dependable overall, drives nicely"
Cons: "Poor reliability (typical American car)"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 5
"We bought this car new in April 2000, and although its reliability was as is typical of Dodge and other American cars [e.g. needed minor transmission work a few times during its life, needed a new transmission at about 7 years (56k miles), needed more frequent brake pad replacement than normal (front), etc.], its overall value was unsurpassed. We paid about 21k for it, and when it was about 5 years old it started to cost (maintenance and repairs) about $100 monthly overall. When it got a few years older it started to average about $150, and that's about where it has remained thru today. This average cost includes the rebuilding of the transmission, brake jobs once every 1.5 - 2 years, oil changes, tire replacements, everything. So we got a great value, and the car runs nicer than many new cars today, smooth, supple, quiet, responsive, etc."

"I bought this van brand new. My first new car ever. It has been a great car with VERY LITTLE mechanical issues. I have only had 1 major repair and that was while it was under warrantee. I got between 20-24MPG, but the comfort and space was worth it. I am would definitely buy a new van with the same features."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I have had this van for about 8 years now, It is the best car I have ever owned. I have about 200,000 and it still runs brand new although when I start it sometimes, it sounds like its tired, the valves sound a little week, but I would have no problem driving this van anywhere, I call it my gift from GOD, it has never let me down although, when it rains and I hit a puddle of water just right, the belt will pop off for some reason. I must not have the cover on the bottom off. In the 8 years I've had this, I think I've just had to replace the altenator and the belt and that was it. I drive this van really hard to, I like zipping around corners and driving fast, I accelerate pretty fast and like to do about 70 on the highway and she drives just perfectly. I love this van but my wife is on me about replacing it. It has lots of rust in the corner panels, and she says it dated. I have the 3.8 ES model so I don't know if that the only one were reporting on in these reviews, but even if I get another mini van, I'm still going to keep this baby, I might just do the body work and paint it blue. Were thinking about a 2006 Odyssey, nice looking and 240 hp, I just like performance and how the touring Van looks. I havn't did my research on the 2000's dodge Caravans, I like the body style of the Honda's, and they are made in America, it mainly performance and the way it looks, If I can find a nice Dodge for around 10,000, I will defently buy one but it has to have the 4 liter in it."

Hydraulic fracturing in situ stress measurements to 2.1 km depth at Cajon Pass, California
Geophysical Research Letters
- By:
- J.H. Healy, M.D. Zoback
- The Publications Warehouse does not have links to digital versions of this publication at this time
Stress measurements to 2.1 km reveal stress changes with depth that cannot be explained by an elastic response to uniform crustal strain. The data at about 1 km depth suggest that the stress is limited by the frictional strength of rock and is perturbed at greater depths by faults which intersect the borehole. The stress data indicate that there is little or no right-lateral shear stress acting on planes parallel to the San Andreas Fault. -AuthorsAdditional Publication Details

This is rather a hand-book of practical suggestions intended primarily for the general reader, which may serve as a guide and reference for prospective owners, managers, architects or builders in search of reliable information on this type of structure.

5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
One potential earnings short-squeeze trade in the investment services complex is Greenhill (GHL - Get Report), which is set to release numbers on Wednesday after the market close. This is an independent investment bank focused on providing financial advice on mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, financings and capital raising to corporations, partnerships, institutions and Governments. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Greenhill to report revenue of $60.21 million on earnings of 28 cents per share.
On Monday, analysts at Susquehanna upgraded this stock from neutral to positive and raised its price target from $33 to $44 per share.
The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Greenhill is extremely high at 18.9%. That means that out of the 26.97 million shares in the tradable float, 5.05 million shares are sold short by the bears. The short-sellers have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 24.5%, or by about 991,600 shares. If the bears are caught pressing too hard into this quarter, then we could see a massive short-squeeze develop if Greenhill & Co. can please the bulls with its earnings report. >>3 Bank Stock Picks for Earnings Season From a technical perspective, GHL is currently trading above its 50-day moving average and right below its 200-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock has been downtrending hard for the past four months, with shares falling from a high of $46.17 to a recent low of $31.77 a share. During that slide lower, shares of GHL have consistently made lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, this stock has started to uptrend since hitting that low of $31.77, with shares making higher lows and higher highs. That move has now pushed GHL within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade post-earnings. If you're bullish on GHL, then I would wait until after they report and look for long-biased trades if this stock can manage to take out its 200-day moving average of $37.95, and then break out above resistance at $39 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average volume of 430,949 shares. If we get that action, then GHL will have a great chance of re-testing and possibly taking out its next significant overhead resistance levels at $44 to $46.17 a share. I would avoid GHL or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that move above its 200-day, and then drops below some near-term support $36 a share with heavy volume. If we get that action, then GHL will likely re-test and possibly take out its 50-day moving average of $34.55, and some more near-term support levels at $33.61 to $33.29 a share.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

State-run Kuwait Petroleum Company (KPC) appointed a new chief executive and suspended other top officials after the country paid $2.2bn in damages to Dow Chemical Co over a scrapped plastics joint venture.
Nizar Mohammad al-Asani replaced Farouk Zanki as CEO at the oil firm and the cabinet approved the nomination of six board members, a statement on state news agency KUNA said. Newspaper al-Rai said that two of the board members were new.
The government also suspended officials at KPC unit Petrochemical Industries Co. which pulled out of the $17.4bn K-Dow petrochemical venture in December 2008, citing the deteriorating global economy. It did not give details.
The chief executive of KPC holds a seat on Kuwait's Supreme Petroleum Council, which sets oil policy. Kuwaiti newspapers reported on Sunday that other KPC members of the council had been replaced, without giving details.
K-Dow was a politically sensitive deal in major oil exporter Kuwait and came under scrutiny in parliament, where lawmakers often clash with the government, especially over large state investments.

Word Of The Month: Baseball
In honor of the return of the boys of summer, the word of the month for April is:
Baseball n.; a game between two teams of nine players each, under the direction of a manager, played on an enclosed field in accordance with the Official Baseball Rules, under jurisdiction of one or more umpires. Originally a name for the British game of rounders, the term dates to at least 1744 when John Newberry included a poem about the game in a children's book. The name was applied to the modern game in 1845, when Alexander Cartwright first codified the rules of the game and formed the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club. (Contrary to myth, Abner Doubleday had nothing to do with the game.)
Great Vowel Shift
Perhaps the biggest single change in English pronunciation happened during the transition from Middle English to Modern English. Linguists call this the Great Vowel Shift. The shift began c. 1300 and continued through c. 1700, with the majority of the change occurring in the 15th and 16th centuries. So the language of Chaucer is largely pre-shift and the language of Shakespeare is largely post-shift, although the changes were underway before Chaucer was born and continued on after Shakespeare had died.
During the Great Vowel Shift, English speakers changed the way they pronounced long vowels. Before the shift, English vowels were pronounced in much the same way that they are spoken in modern continental European languages. After the shift, they had achieved their modern phonological values.
Prescriptivist's Corner: Pleading Your Case
To plead was originally in the class of verbs, along with read, speed, lead, and feed, that took an irregular past tense and past participle, pled. The irregular form has a history dating back to the 16th century. Competing with this past tense was the regular form pleaded, as in "he pleaded not guilty." The regular form won out in England, and pled retreated to Scotland where it became the standard past tense in Scottish law. It then made its way to America, probably through Scottish immigration, where it coexists with pleaded.
Beginning in the late-19th century, American grammarians started attacking the irregular form, pled, presumably because it was not in use in England. They were largely successful in legal and journalistic circles and pleaded is the dominant form in America, but pled continues to survive in general US usage and lately is making inroads into the courts and newspapers.
While it's not strictly improper, pled is rarely used by lawyers and journalists. Using pled in one's own speech is an indicator that one is not well versed in the law. As such, it should be avoided. (Others would argue the opposite—that being noticed as not being a lawyer would be a good thing.)
A bigger problem is the preposition that follows the plea. One pleads to a charge. "He pleaded not guilty to murder" is correct. "He pleaded not guilty of murder" is not. Of should not be used with the verb plead, although "he is not guilty of murder" is grammatically correct.
And to confuse things further, technically one cannot plead innocence. In law, one pleads either guilty or not guilty. This, however, is a distinction that is best left to the lawyers. Plead innocent is sometimes used for fear the not in not guilty might be dropped accidentally. So the rule of thumb is when the judge asks for your plea, you say either "guilty" or "not guilty." At other times you can say plead innocent to avoid any misunderstanding.
And by the definition of plea, which means to make one's case, one cannot actually plead guilty. "Guilty" isn't a plea; it's a confession. Blackstone, in his 1769 Commentaries on the Laws of England never uses the phrase plead guilty. But this last is a lost cause. No one seriously makes this distinction anymore.

Book Review: Safire's Let A Simile Be Your Umbrella
William Safire is perhaps the most widely read commentator on the English language writing today. His weekly On Language column appears in the Sunday New York Times Magazine. Safire's column runs the gamut of language issues, covering etymology, usage, and grammar. It focuses on words and phrases that are in vogue or recently used by key political and media figures.
Let a Simile Be Your Umbrella is the 12th in the series of compilations of Safire's column. Safire has been writing the On Language column since 1979 and turning out these compilation volumes on the average of once every two years since then.

Dec 26, 2014 Well, I wouldn't say that Dr. Walcott's class was that great--he has a tendency to generalize unclearly and also to present anything that is not either directly related to the material being taught (although, to his credit, some of the work so assigned can be useful--I remember that he once assigned us a reading of his experimental demonstration of Rutherford's gold foil experiment that allowed us to visualize what Rutherford saw in thus advancing his conception of the atomic nucleus). Flag Rating
Oct 14, 2014 A very straight forward teacher, basically meaning, he won't attempt to make you laugh. You listening, is about all you need to do in his class. His tests seem fairly easy, you could describe him as "boring", but that's ok, because he's still extremely smart. Not the most effective teacher ever, but you will live with his teaching skills if you pay attention... Flag Rating
Sep 06, 2014 Choose where you sit wisely. A lot of group work involved and sometimes group tests. Idk if he does favoritism but i was late everyday and never raised my hand to answer questions,yet i have a very high average (95+)just because i do very well in his exam (98-100% in his tests). He gives extra credit for every tests and u can score as high as 10 points extra per test. His test are from prev regent so even if udk what hes teaching...as long as u do all regents tests relating to his topic 3 days before his test,u should be able to get at least 80% on it. All im saying is, if u cant transfer out,study by yourself because you will either fall asleep from his voice or not understand him at all. I did self study all year and got a 90 on the regents. I still dont know/learned anything about chemistry though... Flag Rating
Jun 26, 2013 Dr. Walcott actually knows a lot about chemistry. But the only problem is that he needs to make a written lesson plan so he knows what he is doing and write down useful notes on the board. He talks a lot of useful stuff but doesn't put it on the board! The class is easy and you can get a 90 guaranteed even if you don't know anything. The grades can help you boost your average if you're failing in other classes BUT IF YOU WANT TO PASS THE REGENTS THEN TRANSFER IMMEDIATELY. Flag Rating
May 22, 2013 Oh my god I hate this man. Sometimes he is nice others he is the devil. His voice boring as fuck and oh my god he is just the worst. He has no clue what he is talking about and his grades are BS. LISTEN, IF YOU GET HIM AS YOUR TEACHER, YOU TRANSFER OUT IMMEDIATELY IF YOU WANT TO DO GOOD ON THE REGENTS. ASAP!!!!! Flag Rating
Apr 06, 2013 As smart and noticed as he is, THIS MAN DOES NOT TEACH. He doesn't prepare the students. He may seem easy by giving take-home tests, but he is impossible to learn from for the Regents. Learn how to teach!!! Flag Rating
Jan 14, 2013 No. Just no. He gives random grades. Can't understand anything he teaches. Has no lesson plan at all. Prepare for the most useless and completely boring class ever. You can't sleep or talk or anything. Flag Rating
Sep 01, 2012 Slept everyday SINGLE day in his class, got a 90 by the end, and a 75 on the regents. I bet if I payed attention I would've done better, but I couldn't help it. He's one the most boring teachers, and is just weird. He's okay as a person, but does NOT know how to teach. Prepare to buy a Barrons book. Flag Rating
Aug 23, 2012 Unfortunately, Dr. Walcott, while a teacher who is generally good at least in explicating the basics, doesn't however do to well in ingraining the fundamental knowledge into his students or immersing them in the sea of little details and facts that can't be covered in only the basic framework that he offers. Unfortunately, the student is constantly distracted by his stories, little sessions, research projects that are irrelevant, and so forth, and not with much relevant/well-taught lessons. Flag Rating
Jun 07, 2012
Dr. Walcott is an interesting case. He does go over the major points of chemistry, covering the basics and going further--the interaction of water molecules, half life, and so forth, but his lessons often tend to be vapid enough to be supplanted by the material in the review book (and are even less helpful in terms of tests).
He does, unlike other teachers, try to help his students, especially in tutoring or in giving worksheets and silly group quizzes that do allow a slim review of the currciu
Flag Rating
May 24, 2012 His class is very boring and he can't teach. If you get him, start self-studying to pass the regents from the beginning of the year. The way he teaches is pretty weird and confusing and very different from other teachers. You'd have no idea what the other teachers are saying after what walcott attempts to teach you about. I do like his stories, there's a lot of interesting rumors about him. If you ask him about it, he'll tell you if its true or not and tell you the story about it. Flag Rating
May 08, 2012 Dr.Walcott is such a bad teacher. A Monotonous voice that bores three fourths of my class....... His tests or exams are also very unfair in my opinion, Part A being a 30 question multiple choice and Part B next day being 7 or 10 questions, where each question is worth 10 pts or 7 pts depending on how many questions he gives you. Part B is all short answer and often he gives quizzes that are just unfair where most of my class would fail it. Bad At Chemistry? Good Luck, better transfer out. Flag Rating
Feb 16, 2012 Dr. Walcott is very knowledgeable in the field of Chemistry and has been recognized internationally, even if he is a Vet (i never figured the correlation out), but his class is very unusual. He teaches in a different manner, a more old school, abstract fashion that tries to follow the curriculum. However, his class can get very boring and you can find yourself daydreaming into space. As long as you pay attention, and reinforce the lessons with self studying, you can do well on the regents. Flag Rating
Feb 05, 2012 If you get him for lab he is the easiest lab teacher you don't do anything and he gives you 90s on all of them. Flag Rating
Feb 02, 2012 Dr. Walcott is very gifted as a chemist, but he simply doesn't know how to explain things, which is why his class is such a bad experience. He belongs in a chemistry lab in the desert somewhere, and not a high school in a big city. Flag Rating
Oct 08, 2011 you can tell he knows his stuff..how can u put this nicely though? SOME PEOPLE JUST ARENT MEANT TO TEACH!..its a shame he does. cant even understand what he says, he has no teaching skills at all, cant even stay awake in his class, have him first thing in the morning too. Just transfer out if u can. Flag Rating
Sep 02, 2011 He is a terrible teacher, not only is he rude and tells bs stories all the time, his execpts us to be AP students. He gives tests harder than AP tests. If you have him Good luck stayingn awake Flag Rating
Mar 19, 2011 He can not teach for his life. I give every teacher a chance, a few, but he honestly can not teach if his life depended on it. I have the AP of the Chemistry dept. be our sub when he left for a week (MR.EVANGELIST) and i learned more Flag Rating
Jan 24, 2011
Cool teacher. He cares about his students. He tries to answer your questions to the best of his ability.
However, his tests are difficult, and his classes can sometimes be boring..
If you have him in the morning, drink your coffee AFTER his class. You'll be fine.
Flag Rating
Dec 15, 2010 He is okay really. His test are on things you never learned though, he like to show off and he speaks in a monotonous voice. He also has al sorts of rules like "You can't cross your legs in class" He is nice though and gives you good grades if you contribute in class daily. Flag Rating
Dec 05, 2010 dr walcott isn't bad. he actually CARES about us students which is why he does those 5min life lesson things in class (which r pretty fun yet serious) hes a really nice guy and all u needa do is listen to him in class and ask questions. :) Flag Rating
Nov 09, 2010 im in love with mr wall cott he is the neatest man on earth .. for his test just listen to everything says and you with get over a 85 Flag Rating
Nov 03, 2010 Dr. Walcott is a good teacher. All you have to do is pay extreme attention, take good notes and study for the tests. But he is extremely unfair. I have to say that I'm one of the best behaved kids in his class. But one day he caught me doing homework in class and took TEN POINTS off my average. He's way too strict, you have to sit in a certain way or he yells at you. Overall, he's a smart guy, but should change some of his policies. Flag Rating
Oct 21, 2010 Walcott is a really cool guy, but a really bad teacher. He will give you a DN, expect you to know it or your classwork grade is a 65 for that day..He is a pretty good story teller though.. The homeworks are pointless because he doesn't go over them. The tests are insanely difficult because they are irrelevant to the topics he teaches you in class, if you understand it.. He will not explain it well and will tell you to ask a classmate, but how do you do that when no one knows what to do? Flag Rating
