TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 06/03/14 -- The vast majority of Canadians believe volunteering has various positive economic impacts on the economy - and the latest industry data appears to support that notion, according to a new study released today by BMO Financial Group.
The study, designed to provide a snapshot of volunteerism in Canada, was released ahead of BMO Volunteer Day, a company-wide initiative that will involve thousands of employees volunteering in approximately 400 projects in communities across North America.
Conducted by Pollara, the study found:
-- 95 per cent of Canadians believe volunteering contributes to the economy -- In fact, according to the most recent industry data, Canadians contributed approximately 2 billion hours of their time to volunteering in 2010 - equivalent to more than 1 million full-time jobs and 5 per cent of total labour compensation -- Of those who believe there is an impact, more than half believe volunteering helps improve social cohesion and socio-economic outcomes in communities (53 per cent) -- Another 51 per cent say volunteering can help people learn skills for future work
According to the study, the majority of Canadians (61 per cent) have volunteered in the past 12 months; spending an average of 18.7 hours per month. Of that group, Canada's millennial generation is leading the charge; 69 per cent of this group volunteered in the past year, out-pacing the national average by 13 per cent.
Eric Tripp, President, BMO Capital Markets, noted that there are many cases to be made for increasing volunteerism in Canada.
"The act of volunteering is a win-win for everyone involved, as it creates a sense of purpose for those giving back, while strengthening multiple facets of the communities in which we all work and live," said Mr. Tripp. "As a community bank, BMO is part of the fabric of cities and regions across our footprint and beyond, and we have a key interest and a responsibility in ensuring they continue to thrive. It's what we owe."
According to the study, corporate culture can have a meaningful impact for increasing engagement among Canadians. In fact, one quarter of Canadians say they would be more likely to volunteer if their employer did more to encourage them to do so, such as offering a day off for volunteering (26 per cent).
Mr. Tripp added that BMO's longstanding history of giving back is driven by the efforts of BMO employees, who are encouraged to volunteer their resources, time and talents throughout the year.
"Corporate Canada has the responsibility and the resources to make positive contributions to society at large, including the development of projects and initiatives that will improve the communities in which they do business," commented Mr. Tripp. "One way to do this is by mobilizing their workforce and encouraging employees to get involved."
BMO Volunteer Day
BMO Volunteer Day is a legacy of BMO Harris Bank in the United States which launched the event in 2001. In recent years, the initiative has expanded to include all of BMO Financial Group across North America.
This year BMO Volunteer Day will take place on June 4th and will encompass approximately 400 projects in communities across Canada and the U.S., including children and youth organizations, elder care, food banks, community housing and health care facilities, family resource centres, parks and recreational facilities, relief organizations and homeless shelters. Thousands of BMO employees are expected to participate this year.
Results are from a survey which was conducted by Pollara between May 19th and 20th, 2014 with an online sample of 1,012 adult Canadians. The margin of error for a probability sample of this size is +/- 3.1%, 19 times out of 20.

DevOps is about increasing efficiency, but nothing is more inefficient than building the same application twice. However, this is a routine occurrence with enterprise applications that need both a rich desktop web interface and strong mobile support. With recent technological advances from Isomorphic Software and others, it is now feasible to create a rich desktop and tuned mobile experience with a single codebase, without compromising performance or usability.

University of Detroit Mercy could unilaterally terminate faculty union's contract
Despite ongoing negotiations between administrators and faculty, the University of Detroit Mercy has notified the faculty union that it could unilaterally terminate its contract on Sept. 24 — a heavy-handed move that could have serious consequences for students and educators at the Jesuit & Mercy university.
The University of Detroit Mercy Professors' Union and UDM administrators have been in contract negotiations since November, and have reached agreement on 96 percent of the issues before them. However, the two sides are apart on wage increases and retirement benefits.
Instead of bargaining in good faith to resolve the remaining issues, university officials threatened to terminate the contract, in a coercive effort to force faculty to agree to the administration's terms. Termination of the current contract could result in the loss of contractual benefits and protections for all full-time faculty at the McNichols campus of the university.
"Negotiations have been constructive in many areas," UDMPU President Prasad Venugopal said. "Recognizing the university's fiscal challenges, we have made significant concessions on both issues, compared to our current contract, to help the administration deal with any financial burdens."
"In contrast, the university, which only provided a first economic proposal four months into bargaining, has not been willing to honor the financial packages they placed on the table in April and July. Rather, for the first time in UDM's history, they have invoked an extreme option that would allow them to terminate our current contract."
"We remain committed to staying at the table," Venugopal said. "We do this mindful of the central role played by faculty in providing 'excellent student-centered' education, in the Jesuit and Mercy traditions, at the University of Detroit Mercy. We believe a negotiated settlement can be reached and are hopeful that the university will not resort to implementing any drastic measures that will directly impact the quality of education that our students and their families have come to expect from the University of Detroit Mercy."
Both sides will continue to bargain with the assistance of a Nation Labor Relations Board mediator.

Government agencies are already taking steps to comply with automatic spending cuts that took effect March 1. Some examples:
Government agencies are already taking steps to comply with automatic spending cuts that took effect March 1. Some examples:
One of the Navy's premiere warships, the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, sits pierside in Norfolk, Va., its tour of duty delayed. The carrier and its 5,000-person crew were to leave for the Persian Gulf on Feb. 8, along with the guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg.
Documents reviewed by The Associated Press show that more than 2,000 illegal immigrants have been freed from jails across the country since Feb. 15. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman, however, says the number is in the hundreds. ICE officials say they reviewed several hundred cases of immigrants and decided to put them on an "appropriate, more cost-effective form of supervised release."
People arriving on international flights were said to experience delays at airport customs and immigration booths, including at Los Angeles International and O'Hare International in Chicago. Officials said Monday that's because they closed lanes that would have previously been staffed by workers on overtime.
The administration has canceled tours of the White House, citing staffing reductions. House Speaker John Boehner says Capitol tours will continue
The Transportation Security Administration has canceled special training pilots willing to carry guns when they fly as passengers so they can intervene in attempted hijackings or other emergencies, says the Coalition for Air Line Pilot Associations , an umbrella group for several pilot unions. The program was viewed as an extra layer of security on planes.
Examples of other steps that are planned or predicted:
More than half of the nation's 2.1 million government workers may be furloughed. At the Pentagon alone that could mean 800,000 people who will lose a day's pay each week for more than five months; other federal agencies are likely to furlough several hundred thousand more for a varying number of days.
There could be widespread flight delays and cancellations due to furloughs of air traffic controllers, but furloughs won't start until April because of the legal requirement to give workers advance notice. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood predicts flights to cities such as New York, Chicago and San Francisco could have delays of up to 90 minutes during peak hours. FAA officials have said they expect to eliminate overnight shifts by air traffic controllers in more than 60 airport towers and close more than 100 towers at smaller airports. But information posted online by the agency shows 72 airports that could lose midnight shifts and 238 airports where towers could be closed.
Members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff paint a dire picture of construction projects on hold, limits on aircraft carriers patrolling the waters and even a delay in the expansion of Arlington National Cemetery. About 800,000 Defense Department civilians face furloughs. The Pentagon will be forced to furlough for one day a week about 15,000 teachers who work at schools around the world for children of people in the military. Beginning in April, the Army will cancel maintenance at depots, which will force 5,000 layoffs, and it also will let go more than 3,000 temporary and contract employees. The Air Force Thunderbirds and the Navy's Blue Angels will stop appearing in air shows. Three Pentagon service branches and the U.S. Coast Guard have suspended tuition assistance that thousands of troops and others use to pay for college. The programs pay up to $250 a semester hour or $4,000 a year. The Air Force, Marine Corps, Army and Coast Guard have suspended them, and a Navy decision is pending.
The National Agricultural Statistics Service — the numbers arm of the Agriculture Department — says it won't issue some reports this year such as its July tally of cattle, which is used by the beef industry, and its milk production report. Reports by the service influence prices and supply of many products in a wide range of agricultural industries that generate billions of dollars for the U.S. economy.

IOWA CITY, Iowa Jarrod Uthoff often watched his teammates on television and wondered how he could have helped his team win.
Iowa's close road losses this year bit at him nearly as much as for those who endured it on the court. Uthoff, now a 6-foot-10 red-shirt freshman, couldn't travel with the team and watched those games either alone or with his family.
Uthoff never said he could outperform another Iowa player. He's too team-oriented for that. But he wondered if he could have helped in one small way to win even one of those games.
"It's very frustrating, getting so mad at the TV every time," Uthoff said. "It's very tough ... just that we lost the game. We had it. Then all the sudden it turns around. It looks like we're going to win the game and it's tough to watch."
The emotions that gripped Uthoff this year will dissipate in perspiration. After sitting out this season as a restricted athlete, Uthoff will play forward the next three years for Iowa and Coach Fran McCaffery expects him to "be an impact player next year."
"The thing I like about (Uthoff) is," McCaffery said, "you can play him as a long, shot-blocking post player or you can play him on the perimeter and the guy who can put it on the deck, hit a pull-up jumper, hit his 3 and make a play for someone else off the dribble.
"When you put that skill set together, you have a very impressive player. I think with the other players we have, it's something we desperately need."
When you ask Iowa's coaches and players about Uthoff, they rave about his versatility. Uthoff handles the ball effectively and is an inside-outside player with a consistent jump shot. Any one of those skill sets would help him fit in next year. All of them elevate him to a match-up disadvantage.
"He's sneaky long," Iowa assistant coach Kirk Speraw said. "He gets his hands on deflections and blocked shots. He's got a good sense on how to play, good feel, he's unselfish, he can also shoot the basketball very well. But he gives us some length in there that you can never underestimate. He'll bring a different set of skills that will complement everybody else's skills."
"Sometimes he's shown flashes of how good of a player he can be just how he takes people off the dribble," Iowa junior Melsahn Basabe said. "He has dribble combinations. He rises up and shoots right over people. He's 6-10, he's actually the same height as Gabe (Olaseni) when they measured him, so he has a lot of ability, I'm interested in seeing how he's going to fit in our team."
While Uthoff's game at times looks effortless, his path to Iowa City was filled with potholes. After graduating from Cedar Rapids Jefferson as the state's 2011 Mr. Basketball (26.2 points, 11.2 rebounds), Uthoff landed at Wisconsin and opted to red-shirt in 2011-12. He later decided to transfer but was restricted from contacting potential schools without Coach Bo Ryan's approval.
Ryan immediately denied permission for Uthoff to contact any Big Ten schools, Marquette and Iowa State. Ryan then added the entire ACC and Florida. The situation blew into a high-profile dust-up and led to intense scrutiny of Ryan. After a stress-filled week for all parties, Wisconsin Athletics Director Barry Alvarez allowed Uthoff to seek any school outside the Big Ten.
"I was embarrassed in some aspects, that it had to get that big," Uthoff said. "I realized that (Wisconsin) wasn't going to work for me. I wanted to go someplace else. I really didn't want to make it that big a deal; I just wanted to leave and go to the next school and be happy."
Uthoff, an economics major, visited Creighton and Iowa State but chose Iowa. He was excited to play for McCaffery, who diligently recruited Uthoff before he picked Wisconsin. The decision cost Uthoff travel privileges and a scholarship, but he'll earn both next year.

Uthoff has grown two inches and put on about 25 pounds from his days at Jefferson. He worked heavily on his ballhandling and lifted weights four days a week. He was allowed to practice, and he gave his teammates great looks. He simulated opponents on the scout team and brought both skills and intensity, which his teammates appreciated and respected.
"He hasn't played basketball in two years," Iowa junior guard Devyn Marble said. "To come to practice every day having the hunger and motor to practice at an elite level knowing you're not going to play, it takes a lot to do that. Sometimes I ask him how do you do it because I want to know.
"He can knock shots down; that's what he does. Versatile, can play the three or the four. Learning the offense, he's done a good job for us on the scout team, giving us a realistic look at what we might see facing an opponent."
But competing against Division I athletes in practice the last two years doesn't compare to game action. Uthoff can't wait to don his No. 20 jersey in a game environment. It's what keeps him going.
"I miss being out there on the court," he said. "It's not like anything else, especially here. Average attendance is up there. I've never played before this many people, and I'm excited to do it.
"What do I bring to the table next year? Just whatever I do best. Just do whatever I do best to my greatest ability, and that's all anybody can ask to bring."

Illinois Boasts 52 Academic All-Big Ten Honorees
Dec. 6, 2012
PARK RIDGE, Ill. - Fifty-two University of Illinois student-athletes in five fall sports were named to the Academic All-Big Ten teams, the conference announced Thursday. The Illini boasted 10 volleyball players, most among all Big Ten schools, as well as 18 football players, 11 women's soccer players, nine women's cross country athletes and four men's cross country runners.
Academic All-Big Ten honors are bestowed upon student-athletes who have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or better, earned an athletic letter and are in at least their second year at their institution.
Among Illinois' honorees are soccer's NSCAA third-team All-American Vanessa DiBernardo, All-Big Ten volleyball player Liz McMahon and men's cross country NCAA Championships qualifier Hunter Mickow. In addition, seven Illini earning Academic All-Big Ten honors already have earned their bachelor's degrees and are pursuing a graduate degree.

The Great Detroit Betrayal
Detroit has filed for bankruptcy. Most of the spot-news coverage has focused on the immediate fiscal crisis of the city, but the immediate fiscal crisis really isn't what got the city into such deep trouble. Certainly, Detroit's contracts with its employees and its debts to its retirees don't explain anything about how and why this once-great city has come to such grief. Those contracts and retirement benefits are par for the course for major American cities—certainly, no more generous than those in cities of comparable size.
Any remotely accurate autopsy of the city will find the cancer that killed Detroit was the decline of the American auto industry. The failure of U.S. automakers in the '70s, '80s and '90s to make better cars at a time when foreign-made autos were beginning to enter the U.S. market was surely one factor. Another was the trade deals that made it easy for Detroit automakers to relocate to cheaper climes—most particularly, NAFTA, which boosted maquiladoras while shuttering auto plants in the United States, disproportionately, in Greater Detroit. Taken in aggregate, the U.S. trade deals of the past half-century have benefited finance while crippling manufacturing, and Detroit—along with swaths of Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and other industrial cities—paid the price.
A second factor is the racial polarization that Detroit has never managed to overcome. As far back as the 1920s, the Detroit factories attracted workers who didn't always get along. In particular, it drew hundreds of thousands of workers from the African American South and white Appalachia. Since its formation the 1930s, the United Auto Workers has spent much time and energy trying to combat white racism, and to keep tensions between these two groups from erupting in violence. The union didn't always succeed. While it generally managed to get both its white and black members voting for liberal Democrats for state and national office, it seldom managed, even during the height of its strength in the '30s, '40s and '50s, to get its white members to vote for its endorsed candidates for Detroit city office. Why the difference? Because city officials, unlike state and national ones, set Detroit's policing and housing policies, and many white Detroiters, including auto workers, wanted to preserve racially segregated housing and a brutal, racist police force.
As mass suburban development came to Detroit in the decades following World War II, the city became prey to epochal white flight. By the late '80s, when pollster Stan Greenberg conducted his now famous study of Macomb County—a white, working-class suburb adjoining Detroit, which had voted overwhelmingly for John Kennedy in 1960 and just as overwhelmingly for Ronald Reagan in 1984—he discovered a white electorate convinced that Democrats had created a government that benefited only blacks. Any notion of regional cooperation between increasingly black Detroit and its white suburbs was a non-starter.
As the auto plants closed and the whites fled, Detroit hollowed out. In time, as jobs and services vanished, blacks fled as well. In 1950, the city was home to 2 million people. Today, it is home to 700,000. Its unemployment rate, at 18.6 percent, is the highest of the 50 largest American cities. Its tax revenues, not surprisingly, can't support adequate city services. And today's bankruptcy filing is likely to reduce those services still further, while likely reducing the monthly pension checks of its retirees, though they and their unions have a strong moral claim to most favored creditor status. Moral claims often don't amount to much, however, in bankruptcy proceedings.
Is it right to call what has happened to Detroit a tragedy? Not, surely, in a strictly Greek sense. There was hubris aplenty, but it was the hubris of auto executives who certainly don't live within the city limits and won't suffer the bankruptcy's consequences. As for those who will suffer them—the residents, employees and retirees of Detroit—they're not the tragic heroes who brought the city down. They're the tragic victims.

Detroit, Milwaukee and the great central US was a lesson for the right ideology to grab what they could and get out of the way. Those at the top went overseas for cheap labor with the help of tax benefits they gave themselves after buying Congress. Those in the middle went to suburbs and pushed their GOP/NRA/ALEC agenda on their states as a form of self-protection. Their racism, sexism and exclusivity is clear. The slums where once working people could survive were stripped, controlled and deprived of tax support. In real estate it is called "bleeding". Take the rent money, never repair and let the rot happen.

The author really nailed this one. Detroit's bankruptcy had nothing to do with decades of corrupt politicians pushing politically correct policies (indeed it goes without saying that political correctness trumps fiscal soundness every time). And, of course, he is spot-on when he espouses the notion that it is of no consequence to communities when they grossly overpay their municipal employees (as long as union fat cats are properly taken care of). Thanks for enlightening us.

When it comes to economics, you can't win. To paraphrase Harry Truman: Oh, for a one armed economist! I know that NAFTA caused grief to the U.S. auto industry but it has enabled Mexico to become a semblance of a middle class democracy. It also has reduced the burden of mass illegal immigration to the U.S. If you are truly concerned about poverty, then you must be more concerned about the genuine poverty of the third world rather than the relatively comfortable poverty of cities like Detroit. Furthermore, even if the American motor industry had remained prosperous, employment would have declined at about the same rate as it has since automation, not outsourcing, has been the major factor in manufacturing employment decline. It is ironic that now that workers are escaping the curse of having to work in "dark, Satanic mills," those whose intellectual forebears decried the curse of manufacturing now decry its decline. Perhaps it is a pity but this decline is not due to hubris or to racism; it is due to progress. We need to have pro-growth policies to generate new jobs for these displaced workers, not the dream of a return to the past.

Tommy, the politicians in Detroit were not particularly or uniquely more corrupt than mayors of other large Northern cities of day. I suggest Coleman Young was less corrupt than say mayor Daly in Chicago and no one suggests Dennis Archer was corrupt in anyway. Equally untrue is your claim the city workers were overpaid. There isn't any evidence to suggest their pay was out of line with that of other large city workers. If anything, it was less than Chicago or New York.
No city can function when it loses 2/3 of its population. Detroit died because people left. Much of that population flight was due to American racism and that hasn't changed all that much. It gained its population through accident of history, mainly due to shipping, and grew with automobile manufacturing. Once that began to slip and fracture, there really wasn't anything attractive left about Detroit. Its weather is harsh and miserable. It didn't have world-class art institutions or major universities. Its industry did not recover, nor was it replaced.
The city needs to be rebuilt to serve a very small population, but it should not be done by stealing from the people who served it honorably and well with their labor. Their pensions are part of their wages and they are owed that money.

Pittsburgh's steel industry was hit even harder by foreign competition than Detroit's auto industry. The U.S. steel industry today is a pale shadow of its former self. But Pittsburgh today doesn't resemble the Detroit catastrophe.
New England was hit very hard by the loss of its textile and shoe industries to foreign competition. But today, Nashua NH is a thriving, bustling city.
These cities diversified. Pittsburgh leveraged Carnegie-Mellon University to attract biotech industry. Nashua NH also attracted high-tech knowledge workers, many of whom commute to work in neighboring MA.
Harold Meyerson's ideology is what is keeping Detroit down: Keep bitterly blaming the domestic auto companies and the foreign auto companies and keep hoping for a return of the good old days of American auto dominance, rather than looking toward the future.
These other cities worked hard to attract other types of businesses, and make their cities a good place to conduct business. But Mr. Meyerson would never recommend such a thing, oh no. Mr. Meyerson is NOT a liberal in the Hubert Humphrey mold. He is a self-described socialist, who regards private business as a necessary evil at best. He has no problem at all with the fact that in Detroit, the government is the biggest employer by far. The public school teachers and civil servants combined dwarf the combined employment of all the auto makers.
Another point. Mr. Meyerson wrote a whole article lamenting the loss of Detroit citizens to the suburbs, without ever having mentioned the 1967 Detroit race riots, which killed dozens of people. White flight became a rout after that. But white liberals will never criticize black violence. Oh, no, we can't do that! To insist that black citizens must be held to the same standards as white citizens? Oh, no, that would be racist.
Mr. Meyerson is right about just one thing though: Detroit's gigantic pension fund debts are not unique to Detroit. A recent study by Boston College has concluded that total pension fund obligations by America's cities may total as much as $4 trillion (that's TRILLION).
Stockton, Compton, San Bernadino, welcome to Meyerson's socialist club!

A rational examination of Detroit's fiscal demise reveals that the political power and greed of public sector unions destroyed the city's finances. Public sector unions used their political clout to corrupt Detroit's city government which in turn used control of the purse strings to feed the public unions obscene greed.
The early retirement, high pay, outrageous pensions, and grotesque lifetime benefits demolished the city's finances.
Pittsburgh withstood the demise of the steel industry without imploding. Pittsburgh didn't have the ridiculous obligations to public sector unions preventing its recovery.
Public sector unions killed Detroit, pure and simple.

At the time of starting the auto industry there are many type of problems created and they try to solve the problem. When a new thing lunch many things need to know by the makers and user also, how to make the product in a proper way and that can give the better performance , in the auto industry same thing happen. The US auto makers also try to do the better in 70s and they also success in their rally.
