Lawrence "DC" Randle will be presenting on the experiential field programs in the Peruvian Amazon that offers educators, students and naturalists an exciting immersion into the world
Amazonian biodiversity has been studied for hundreds of years. Despite this long history of exploration, new studies are resulting in the discovery of a large number of new species. The key of these discoveries lies in the use of advanced new tools for species detection.
Researchers have discovered that there are nearly 400 million individual trees in the Amazon, and while there are over 16,000 different types, approximately half of them belong to just 227 unique species.
A new study says climate change and ecological factors could threaten Peru's cloud forests along the eastern slopes of the Andes Mountains.

hahaha DS says "tight" and "ow" when he would prefer to be naked. Sometimes though he is right, he doesn't like anything close to his neck, and once he had a piece of bark in his sock. To be on the safe side I always check now to see if it is really causing irritation, and I make a show of it taking it off and inspecting it carefully while he watches. He likes it, and then if there is nothing wrong (usually the case) he will wear it.
He runs away when I try to get him dressed most times, so if I really have to go somewhere I bribe him with a sticker for good behavior in letting mommy get him dressed. I bought a poster board and pinned it to the wall so he could "collect" his stickers there. It works really great for the moment!

Pork, Freedom of Information and Aquino's silence
More News from INQUIRER.net
The pork barrel scandal showed the power of journalism — and its limitations.
It took the reporting by the Philippine Daily Inquirer and other organizations, aided by a whistleblower, to expose the alleged shenanigans of Janet Lim Napoles.
But it took a government audit report to make it stunningly clear that the problem was far bigger than Napoles – that her alleged pork barrel schemes were just a puny island in an archipelago of pig poop.
Reporters could have tried to unearth and expose all that garbage, of course.
But they almost surely would have faced enormous obstacles and may not have succeeded in digging up all the pieces of the story.
In fact, in a country where media corruption is a problem, there are those in media who probably would not have even tried because it's not in their interest to do so.
This may sound odd coming from a journalist, but why not have a system in which journalists and media aren't that important?
Why not a system in which basic information, such as on how tax dollars are spent, are routinely disclosed and made readily available to ordinary citizens — not just the media?
That's one of the powerful arguments for a Freedom of Information law. And it's not surprising that the Napoles scandal has reignited interest in calls for such a law.
"We believe that this landmark legislation, coupled with ongoing efforts at promoting good governance, will be an effective deterrent to abuses perpetrated by the corrupt," the Makati Business Club said in a statement.
This is the perfect time for President Aquino to jump on this issue, to make the passing of a Freedom of Information law a priority.
In the past, he has appeared reluctant to do this based on a fear that such a law could be abused by media. Aquino told reporters two years ago that he was worried that "some elements who may want to use the information not to inform the public, but to, rather, inflame them" adding that media "shouldn't allow themselves to be used as attack dogs either."
That's a vague and narrow view. And one that, in the wake of public outrage over a culture of corruption that's even more shameless and brazen than what many Filipinos imagined, doesn't make sense.
For Freedom of Information, as I've argued in the past, is not just about the media. In fact, as former Congressman Erin Tanada, the author of the FOI bill, told me last year, the proposal is "is more of a citizen's right to freedom of information and not the media."
"The constitutional provision on the Right to Information did not mention it as a media right but a citizen's right," he added.
In fact, if Aquino is really worried about media being used to mislead or distort the truth, a Freedom of Information law can be an important tool in keeping media corruption and even incompetence in check.
Again, imagine a society in which citizens aren't that dependent on media to be informed. With an FOI law as a foundation for a more transparent government culture, Filipino citizens could do their own digging in order to expose other corruption cases.
Aquino needs to push more aggressively on this issue especially since the pork barrel fiasco could eventually undermine the image he's been trying so hard to project – that of a president determined to eradicate all forms of government corruption.
What happened to the chief executive who just a few weeks ago gave a fiery speech denouncing corruption at the customs bureau?
This is supposed to be Aquino's issue. This is supposed to define his presidency.
The silence is deafening.

She's been all over the world and has experienced some amazing things, but maybe Pippa Middleton should have kept silent on the fact that she ate uncooked whale carpaccio while visiting Norway.
The lovely English socialite penned a column for the Daily Telegraph, stating that the meat tasted like "smoked salmon," and when PETA found out they immediately released a statement of disapproval.
Showing off her philanthropic side, Pippa Middleton showed up at the Park Lane Hotel in London on Tuesday night (February 10).
The gorgeous English socialite was in the house for the British Heart Foundation's Roll Out the Red Ball fundraiser, sporting a ravishing red dress and accompanied by boyfriend Nico Jackson.
She came into prominence thanks to her own perky posterior, but Pippa Middleton is no fan of Kim Kardashian bearing her bare bottom on Paper magazine's latest issue.
The lovely English socialite penned an article for The Spectator's Christmas Special in which she espoused her negative reaction to the "Disaster Movie" actress' more-than-ample backside.
As the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton's sister, Pippa Middleton has been privy to all kinds of high society happenings, and now she's been offered a correspondent position with the "Today" show.
According to multiple sources, the gorgeous English socialite has been in talks with the NBC morning program for quite some time and they're close to reaching a deal.
She never fails to impress with her sartorial selections and earlier today (September 11) Pippa Middleton stepped out in London's trendy Chelsea neighborhood.
Joined by a friend, the newly-turned 31-year-old socialite opted for a tan sweater with a light gray blouse and matching skirt as she made her rounds.
The Royal Opera House in London was the place to be for star gazing last night (September 2) as the 2014 GQ Men of the Year Awards took over the whole venue.
Newlyweds Kim Kardashian and Kanye West showed up for the shindig in designer duds, and Kimmy even managed to take home the Woman of the Year trophy.
Enjoying a day on the sea, Pippa Middleton hopped on board a sail boat with UKSA sailors on Sunday (August 3).
The 30-year-old socialite was all smiles as she celebrated during Aberdeen Asset Management's Cowes Week in the Isle of Wight.
Enjoying the warm weather, Pippa Middleton stepped out solo in London, England on Thursday afternoon (July 24).
The British socialite rocked a tribal-printed skirt with a simple black top as she strolled around the city to run a few errands.
After a late night out with friends, Pippa Middleton hailed a cab in London, England earlier this week.
The British socialite stepped out of Maggie's on the Fulham Rd at 1 am and grabbed cash before finding a ride home.
Enjoying a little male attention, Pippa Middleton laughed heartily while chatting with a mystery man over breakfast today (July 3).
The 30-year-old Brit babe couldn't stop smiling as she dined on fine French cuisine at Café Aubaine in London's Chelsea district.

Thread: knut's Sketchbook
May 11th, 2010 #31
hehehe probably needs some kind of perspective even a basic one.
Try to study perspective so that later you can play with it and do whatever perspective you want.
Set your horizon line set one point on it, and then everyline must go there.Ok its not exactly like that but try doing some studies with simple objects like a cube or something.
Do some sketches and probably we will be able to do some paintover

Thanks Kostas! I have some books in mind about the persp issue.
I just finished a piece for the adventure, one of the female protagonists. I tried to makes her in a way that she has a characteristic look (body, face, position etc) and no the classic beauty. It need some final touches i think but i have to go now. Critique please!
May 14th, 2010 #33
Something quick i just finished for fun. The rest are some sketches of a turkish trader and a romanian old man. Pffff, insomniaaa!
May 15th, 2010 #34
I made some improvements on the woman drawing.
May 15th, 2010 #35
nice mate.DUnno about the colors.it looks like drizzt du erden, maybe put some warmer hues on the skin?
keep up the good work
May 15th, 2010 #36
I don't know the guy. Do you mean the colors or the overall drawing? I thought it about the skin tone but because i want to have some variety in the end, i wanted something more "white". I' ll try to make it warmer as you said and will see. As you see i am a little bit colourblind so to me it' s difficult the final choise of colors. I wanted to ask you about the grayscale in which you wrote once that you draw always at first. You mean that on one layer you are doing all the tones of a drawing (shadows etc) and then on another layer you' re dropping colors? Are you just playing with opacity first for the tones? Personally i work very oldschool as i had a pen in my hand meaning that, first i am doing the outlines and then just paint and play with opacity, gausian blur, flow. I don't really use something else. Is there anything i should check for an better work on Photoshop? Thanks for the mentions man!
Y.G. I had some quotes froma.. my mother that her face is too much of a male's. She' s starting worring about me! No really if there is something wrong tell me. Personally i just want all the characters not to have the classic beauty, so i try to make them a little bit ... casual. Thanx.

An old model of grandma's head with plasticine. Do you have any propositions about the material i could use for models so i can sculpt them easy as plasticine and make them solid afterwards as clay? I know about cernit but it costs too much for a small quantity. I sculpt them piece by piece and not starting with a big mass of the material.

May 16th, 2010 #39
dunno a lot about sculpting materials other than clay that i have done in uni but i love what you did
About greyscale.
Greyscale is a great excersize in learning and understanding values.When someone master values probably can work fast immediately with colors on a rough sketch or something, but we need more to reach that right now.
When you have a greyscale work then you have to translate the values into colors.I work with high opacities and only for some special things i use low opacity.
About these characters i can say that actually they are not rendered in greyscale but they consist of a sketch with the style of these black lines and then some coloring inside the regions(that may mean that a simpler cell shading could do the job easier and better for you, but again there would be a need to alter the blackness of every outline)
aaa now an idea.Take this great sculpt you did and turn it greyscale in photoshop (image adgjudments, desaturate) and see (i did quickly did it for you)
here you can see a very nice greyscale base.
What you have to do i think is becoming better in overal.Dont use a lot of effects in photoshop, like blur and such, cause these tend to make your works saying "eeee i am using filterssss"
Also try to block in colors with high opacities(100% will be nice and if you have tablet add opacity+size pen pressure).It is also better because in your style here you have these full black(full of paint) lines and there must be harmony when you put the color.So you cant have these low opacity brushstrokes that come in contrast with the solid black lines.I think the face looks better cause it looks more solid than the other parts.
Keep up the good work mate!!!
lol forgot to upload it

Thank you Kostas. Actually, i thought once to make the characters with plasticine and then texture them in photoshop but the time and money are that i' m lacking. Also a digi cam... I agree with not using too many effect, actually none. I just was searching for how do the shadows on a sketch and i found a way with gausian blur. Other than that, i am using just brushes and playing with opacity. I am actually bored to search all the things on photoshop, just want to draw doing it right and learning on the way. Also, seeing many phsp works i realise it is very easy to become "all the same" so, many times i think of just drawing on paper and scan the final sketch. I try to devepol something characteristic and if not succed i' ll start using filters
About cell-shading, i had in mind the concept art of Zelda: Wind Waker when i started (thick black outlines etc check it---> http://www.enterthesly.com/blog/game/images /windwker.jpg )but they are doing it differently with less shadows and more cartoonish characters. Anagnostou told me the same thing, that they remind him of 3d cell shading technique which for me is actually a good thing.
Kostas thanks again for the tips and your time.
I am posting some older non-detailed models i did for a better undestanding of some anatomy issues. I had some models from Metal Gear Solid 4 in mind doing them (anyone who played it will know).
Sorry for the resolution...
May 16th, 2010 #41
Amazing 3D understanding [envious] I really like your work. Plasticine models are awesome! I want to try to learn anatomy this way now! I'm not good enough to give any crit, I just love everything here!

May 16th, 2010 #42
Temperowka thank you man. The truth is that sculpting, you ARE learning about anatomy, symmetry or non-symmetry. You just get in the procces of realizing new things or the same old ones with a different perspective. You must be cautious so everything looks good from any view (which actually don't appear to happen on the upper models). The "bad" thing is that it could take time for making a detailed model but that's exactly why you are learning: giving time on anatomy details, like drawing many times the same sketch. Try it and see how it feels.
Just finished a super quick sketch of a masked monster. Hopefully i' ll get some time to paint it later.

Really nice update, lots of depth on those. Are you greek btw? I ask because one of your characters seems to be fluent in Greek in your latest update As for critiques on your paintings, you're off to a good start, but I think you should really focus on values at this stage and work on rendering form more convincingly. Try thinking in simple shapes when rendering (ex. approach a face in a similar way on how you would render an egg).
Keep it up!
May 17th, 2010 #47
Thanx cgaddict once again. Yea i am Greek but didn' t have that in mind. Guess it' s natural I need to read about values, rendering etc. However, let's say that i want that style and result. Is it still not good enough, right? I ask because i really have something very specific in mind doing those sketches. Whatever i write, i must improve one or another way cause those are my first attemps using photoshop. I mean, but of course they can be better but what happens when it fits a specific idea? Where to end a painting? Guess there is no answer, just get better yourself, right?
Sorry for the bad English, hope there will be no misunderstandings.

If you're new to digital painting, the important thing is to get comfortable with the program. Get used to it until it becomes second nature to you. Limit your brush set when you're first starting (a hard edge and a soft edge brush will suffice). Don't worry about a refined finish at the moment, just try to paint daily. Speedpaintings are a great way to help you out with this. Paint an image and time yourself (anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour).
Of course, this is just my advice - what works for me might not necessarily work for you, so just experiment, get comfortable with painting digitally, and most importantly, have fun!

Hi everyone. Took me some time to update.. Here's some grayscale sketches i did today. I find it very difficust not to play with opacity due to mouse but i use it occasionally. The one with the conductor is not finished and the first pencil sketch has a lot of mistakes. Please i need critique on those grayscale. Also tell me how much time is normally needed for finishing a work like this with mouse so i can test myshef. Any advice is welcome as tutorials about grayscale painting etc. Thanks in advance!

Great sketches. We both need to draw more dynamic angles of characters and more landscapes.

Federer To Remain At World No. 1 After Hard-Fought Win Over Wawrinka
Shanghai, China
by ATP Staff|
Roger Federer is guaranteed to be No. 1 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings for a 300th week on Monday after a hard-fought 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-0 victory over his Swiss compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka at the Shanghai Rolex Masters.
"I never thought of something like this when I was a little kid, that's for sure," said Federer. "I was just hoping one day my dream was going to come true to play on the regular tour, play Wimbledon, maybe become World No. 1 at some stage. So here I am at 300 weeks. It's pretty incredible. Probably one of my biggest accomplishments. I'm very proud of that record, no doubt about it."

Wawrinka got off to a strong start to win just his fourth set in 13th meetings against Federer on Thursday evening. He lost nine of his service points and saved two break points.
At 4-4 in the second set, Federer got himself out of trouble from 0/30 and 30/40 when backhand errors cost Wawrinka, who was forced to save one set point at 5-6, 30/40. Federer opened up a 3-1 in the tie-break, but Wawrinka levelled the score only to see his friend raise his game. Federer clinched the set when Wawrinka send a backhand wide.
It was one-way traffic in the decider, as Federer lost just five points to complete victory in just under two hours at the Qi Zhong Stadium. This week, Federer is bidding to win a record 22nd ATP World Tour Masters 1000 crown and tie John McEnroe on 77 tour-level titles.
"I consider myself a little lucky," said Federer. "I never stopped believing, pushed till the end, then got off to a good start in the third set. Basically that was it. It was a tough match. He was the better player for basically two sets. It's great finding a way out that way, that's for sure."

Federer will next play Croatian No. 10 seed Marin Cilic, who converted three of his 12 break point opportunities to break a two-match losing streak against Fernando Verdasco for a 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 win in two hours and eight minutes. Cilic advances to the quarter-finals for the first time with his 37th match win of the year (37-16 overall).
Second seed Novak Djokovic, who could have regained the World No. 1 ranking this week, will next play Tommy Haas, this season's Gerry Weber Open titlist (d. Federer), who swept past sixth seed and Barclays ATP World Tour Finals contender Janko Tipsarevic 6-2, 6-1 in 66 minutes. Haas won 92 per cent of his first service points for his 30th match win of the year. He now has 499 victories overall in his career.

Hospital Cafeterias Take Creative Approach to Food: Chefs Balance Taste, Healthy Choices, and Comfort Foods
By Kathie Smith, The Blade, Toledo, Ohio
Apr. 2–Retired teacher Thomas Sauppe of Bowling Green eats lunch just about every day at the Wood County Hospital cafeteria. Not only are the prices reasonable, but the food's pretty good, too.
"My favorite is the soups," he said recently over a meal of meat loaf, baked potato, spinach, and the special dessert, flaming pears over ice cream, that Chef Ray Hohman had prepared in the dining room.
Not only do hospital food service departments serve patient meals with a multitude of special diets, they also run cafeterias and cater special events. But designing the menu for a hospital cafeteria is a unique opportunity to showcase culinary creativity. The cafeteria menu is often one part healthy choices, one part popular demand, and one part comfort food. Throw in a little fun and a good time, and the result leads to a successful selection that appeals to most customers.
But "taste and interesting food are primary," says Tim Bauman, director of food and nutrition services for Wood County Hospital in Bowling Green. "You have to sell what a customer puts their money on at the cash register."
Healthy menu items are available. "We have a healthy choice item every day, which a dietitian analyzes to meet American Heart Association guidelines for 30 percent or less calories from fat," he says.
At Flower Hospital in Sylvania, Chef Denny Seibert has Heart Smart specials, usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with items such as beef with mushrooms and pearl onions, or vegetable lasagna. The Poor Man's Steak Soup in a bread bowl that was served in March at the Flower Hospital Auxiliary luncheon can turn up as a low-carbohydrate version (minus the bread bowl) in the cafeteria.
At St. Luke's Hospital in Maumee, fresh fruit, low-fat muffins, grilled chicken, and healthy entrees are on the menu, according to Gwen Barksdale, food service manager.
Rob Snoad, food service operations manager at St. Charles Mercy Hospital in Oregon, designs the menus with Chef Joe Hrabrovsky's help. "We always look for a nutritious carry-through to the cafeteria," he says. "We tie in the patient menu. It enables us to experiment and show our creativity. We still offer fried foods, but we offer other alternatives, too. That's what the customer wants."
Many visitors in the surgery waiting area come down to the cafeteria. "They want hamburgers and fries," he says. "Comfort foods are the most important. We've tried upscale items, different soups such as tortilla soup, and Cobb salad. Customers want homestyle cooked meals."
Favorite foods One item that has proved popular is the hummus and tabbouleh served with freshly baked pita bread and fresh vegetables for $3.35. "We sell tons of that," says Mr. Snoad.
At Mercy Memorial Hospital in Monroe, food service is operated by HDS Services of Farmington Hills, Mich. Among the favorite foods, "Tex Mex is popular," says food service director Stephan Yates, who came to the hospital in January. "We make chicken quesadillas from scratch. Plus the fish fry every Friday with cod, french fries, and cole slaw at $5.25 is very popular."
At St. Luke's, eight varieties of homemade cookies, including chocolate chip and peanut butter, are made. "We also make homemade dinner rolls daily," says Gene Morris, food service supervisor. Cinnamon rolls and strudel also are baked. Every Friday, there's either a taco bar, a potato bar, or a chicken wings bar.
Comfort foods are big at Flower Hospital, too. "Our meat loaf, fried chicken wings, and taco bar are popular," says Mr. Seibert. "Clam chowder made from scratch is a big hit. "
Theme days Hospital food service departments prepare food for everything from historical menus to teas, and auxiliary lunches to doctors dinners.
Wood County Hospital chefs make event dishes like flaming pears over ice cream, says Mr. Bauman. "It's one of the favorites." He's planned Cajun food for Mardi Gras and served historically correct recipes such as Presidential Pork Loin Picante made from a White House cookbook. Also popular are the high teas served for nurse recruitment events.
Since last December Mr. Snoad has added theme days in St. Charles' cafeteria, which he calls "monotony breakers." They have had Greek Day, Italian Day, and will celebrate Cinco de Mayo on May 5.
In addition, most hospitals cater events in-house and sometimes off-site for their doctors and auxiliaries.
Monroe's Mercy Memorial Hospital food service served a buffet luncheon for 85 doctors. "We offered variety, including lobster bisque, spring salad, carved beef tenderloin, marinated vegetables, tri-color fettucine, carrots, asparagus, and fresh fruit," says Mr. Yates.
At Flower Hospital's doctors dinner in March, the food service staff prepared entrees of herb roasted sirloin of beef with Jamison (Irish whiskey) au poirvre, crab-stuffed flounder from scratch, and stuffed portobello mushroom over tri-colored peppers with sweet onion. The dinner was served at Lourdes College.
St. Charles Hospital has two rooms that are used for catering: the Oregon Room and the Board Room. Dinners have been catered for community groups such as the Kiwanas and the Oregon Schools. "We can do upscale menus with New York strip steaks, beef or chicken Wellington, and the favorite chicken pecan," says Mr. Snoad.
Popular demand Mr. Bauman is receptive to requests from staff and customers. "I was walking through the cafeteria two days ago and one of the employees said, 'Can we have chicken Caesar salad on the menu?' I said, 'Send me an e-mail or a sticky note.' It will be on the menu, probably three to four weeks out."
But he notes the request or recipe must lend itself to commercial cooking. "We can adapt recipes to quantity cooking," he says. "In the kitchens of the world, most cooks are recipe memorizers – they can make a dish. I've spent years working with my staff. I want to be real nimble and be able to change the menu at a moment's notice and still keep the cost in line.
"Fighting boredom is the No. 1 job for food service managers for the employees and the customers," says the food service director, who has two CIA (Culinary Institute of America) graduate chefs on staff and one chef with a two-year culinary degree from Sullivan College. "I hired highly qualified chefs with standards the same as the CIA. Chefs like to make food. They like to make food that doesn't turn out the same all the time."
When Mr. Yates came to Monroe's hospital, the cafeteria menu was a six-week cycle. "Now I write menus on a weekly basis. Some is fast food, some is healthy-heart entrees like broiled salmon and lemon pepper cod," he says. "I asked the customers, 'What is one of the things you want on the menu?' "
At St. Charles, Mr. Snoad and Chef Hrabrovsky also got menu ideas from customers and employees through a survey. When staff is on a 12-hour shift, "we try to provide comfort foods that they can get in a hurry, but I see a lot of doctors eating salads, soups, and sandwiches. Many don't eat pork. We try to provide vegetable and chicken entrees."
The menu is changed twice a year at St. Luke's, using suggestions from employees, visitors, and doctors.
"We got more requests for healthier choices and more items that were popular in the restaurants, such as the Subway teriayki sandwich," says Gene Morris, St. Luke's food service supervisor. "We can't copy that, but we can make up our own recipe."
Some items don't sell even though they may have been requested. In January and February surveys, only two customers requested sugar- free foods. Plus, "Low-carb items are not that popular anymore," adds Ms. Barksdale.

Pendleton police investigate death at motel
PENDLETON – Pendleton Police are investigating the death of a 19-year-old woman whose body was found in a Travelodge Motel room just after 3 p.m. on Tuesday.
According to Umatilla County District Attorney Daniel Primus, hotel staff reported finding Amyjane Nicole Brandhagen "either passed out or deceased," in her room.
Primus would not comment this morning about whether there was evidence of gunshot or knife wounds or whether there was anyone else in the room with Brandhagen at the time of her death.
"We're not commenting on the circumstances at all," Primus said. "I need to allow time for my officers to continue investigating this case."
Primus did confirm police are treating Brandhagen's death as a homicide.
"There is little or no information available concerning motive or the identity of person(s) responsible for the death," Primus stated in a press release issued yesterday afternoon.
Anyone with information regarding the death of Brandhagen is encouraged to contact the Pendleton Police Department at 541-276-4411.

Kevin Durant's Emotional NBA MVP Acceptance Speech
By The Associated Press
Originally published on Fri May 9, 2014 7:53 am
In accepting his first MVP award, Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant made a point of sharing the honor with those who made it possible.
In a soul-baring speech that lasted more than 25 minutes, Durant fought back tears several times while thanking each of his teammates, the coaches, support staff and team executives, and finally his family.
The emotional outpouring culminated with a tribute to his mother, Wanda Pratt, and the sacrifices she made, the inspiration she provided while raising Durant and his brother in the suburbs of Washington, D.C.

The four-week running average that smooths volatility in the weekly figure rose to 405,250.
Immediately after the hurricane slammed the Eastern seaboard, first-time claims dropped, no doubt in great part because people's mobility was curtailed and electricity outages made filing difficult. Subsequently, however, the numbers soared. In the week ending Nov. 10, they reached their peak of 451,000, the highest first-time claims had been in two years, except for a one-week surge in April 2011. As predicted, initial claims have fallen sharply since then.
In the hardest hit state, New York, applications fell by 30,603 after having increased by nearly 44,000 the previous week. In Pennsylvania and they dropped by 11,451 after more than a 7,400 increase the previous week.
Given that trajectory, it's likely first-time claims will, next week or the week after, fall back into what has been their range for most of 2012: 360,000 to 380,000.
Meanwhile, the Congressional Budget Office showed the importance of the federal government's "emergency" unemployment benefits in a report released today, Unemployment Insurance in the Wake of the Recent Recession. Those emergency benefits, passed to extend the duration of payments to out-of-work Americans as much as 73 weeks beyond the 26 weeks all states used to provide, are set to expire on Dec. 29, as I've noted several times, most recently here. If renewed for a year, the CBO says, the impact would be to create or save 300,000 jobs and that gross domestic product would be 0.2 percent higher in the last quarter of 2013 than it would otherwise be.
And, in the last bit of major economic news reported so far Thursday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported in its second estimate of that real growth in the gross domestic product on an annual basis was substantially higher for the third quarter than reported last month in its first, so-called "advance" assessment: 2.7 percent instead of 2.0 percent. In the second quarter, annualized growth was 1.3 percent.
While that seems like a vast improvement at first glance, several analysts have pointed out there's underlying weakness when the details are examined. Here's Bloomberg's Justin Wolfers:
There's more than one way to measure economic output. The headline estimate of gross domestic product that you read so much about is the result of adding up all spending in the economy. Buried deep in the report is an alternative measure, known as gross domestic income, obtained by adding up all the income earned. In theory, measures of GDP and GDI should be identical, because every dollar spent by someone is a dollar earned by someone else. In practice, the two measures differ, because they are based on different source data. [...]
The latest GDI data tell a sobering story. In the three months through September, GDI grew at an annualized, inflation-adjusted rate of only 1.7 percent, compared with 2.7 percent for GDP. Historically, when we've seen divergences like this, it has been more common for the GDP estimate to be revised toward the GDI estimate. So future revisions are likely to show that GDP growth was a bit weaker than the current optimistic headlines suggest.
Perhaps more strikingly, GDI in the second quarter of 2012 shrank at an annualized, inflation-adjusted rate of 0.7 percent. Together with the disappointing third-quarter number, this suggests that over the past two quarters, real GDI has grown at an annualized rate of only 0.5 percent. By contrast, the headline GDP data have grown at an average rate of 2.0 percent over the same period. We don't know which is right, but there's good reason to fear that the pessimistic data are closer to the truth.
As Wolfers points out, the economic data have been "murky" for some time, moving in fits and starts. The economy is steadily growing, and has been since mid-2009, but the growth has not been enough to create new jobs anywhere close to the monthly 250,000-300,000 level that is required to put millions of unemployed people—counted and uncounted—to work. The majority of new jobs that have been created are of the low-wage type, forcing more than a few out-of-work Americans with extensive skills and decades of experience into positions that pay them significantly less with fewer benefits than they had prior to the beginning of the Great Recession in 2007.
What's most frustrating about the failure to enter into better job-creation territory is that until the acute problems associated the recession are resolved, we can't work on the chronic ones, some with origins more than 30 years ago and some the product of policies put into place by both Republicans and Democrats. Instead, any discussion of the benefits from more stimulus in a time of low interest rates and low inflation is submerged beneath the phony arguments about the fiscal "cliff" and the deficit.
