Google to offer gigabyte of free e-mail
The company, based in Mountain View, Calif., on Thursday launched a test with about 1,000 invited guests set to try out a new e-mail service called "Gmail."
Google, which made its name in search but has added numerous services, such as a news aggregation page and a newsgroup interface, says that Gmail is search-based e-mail.
Like Yahoo Mail and MSN Hotmail, Gmail will let users search through their e-mail. Unlike those competitors, though, Google will offer enough storage so that the average e-mail account holder will never have to delete messages.
Hotmail currently offers 2MB of free e-mail storage. Yahoo offers 4MB. Gmail will dwarf those offerings with a 1GB storage limit.
Google plans to make money from the service by inserting advertisements into messages based in part on their content, effectively extending its AdWords program for presenting contextual ads in Web pages to e-mail.
"The idea is that your mail can stay in there forever," said Wayne Rosing, vice president of engineering at Google. "You can always index it, always search it, and always find things from the past."
When asked whether Gmail represented further evidence that Google is muscling in on the turf of Yahoo, MSN and other Web portals, Rosing demurred.
"The way we'd like to say it," he said, "is that part of our mission is to organize and present all the world's information, and e-mail's part of that information that currently is not well organized. That is the rubric under which we offer this."
But one analyst said that Google's e-mail service should be able to siphon some consumers away from the company's rivals, given the level of storage and the proposed functionality.
"There is no doubt that (Google) will be able to take market share from Yahoo and Hotmail," said Hellen Omwando, an analyst with Cambridge, Mass.-based Forrester Research. "You also have to consider that most people now maintain more than one e-mail address, so it wouldn't be surprising to see (Gmail) grow quickly."
But some consumers may be turned off by the contextual advertising system, Omwando said. Google has indicated that it will use an automated system to scan for frequently used terms in creating its contextual ads, with some intervention from humans to censor or adjust certain keywords.
"Google will have to tread carefully with this concept as people tend to use Web-based e-mail accounts for personal activity," she said. "Advertisers might be skittish at first and wait to see of the idea is accepted before jumping onboard."
The analyst also pointed out that, although Gmail remains in a beta format, the service does lack some functionality offered by rivals such as Yahoo, such as the ability for users to access multiple e-mail accounts from one central account.
Google is wary of announcing a launch date for the service until beta testing is complete, but according to Kate Burns, managing director of Google UK's ad sales, it will be widely available to consumers fairly soon.
"My feeling is that we have already done an awful lot of testing, so it will be a limited test period--a matter of weeks," Burns said.News.com's Matt Hines and Michael Parsons of ZDNet UK contributed to this report.

- Will be hard to make public
- The idea sounds great but when/if it launches they will have to come up with some way to make money as it does not seem sound to offer a service like this for free.

- Dont underestimate Google
- You probably would have said something similar a few years ago, if I described to you then Google's free services of today. Google offers web search, newsgroups, news, image search and now a shopping service. And quality of these services is simply unmatched. Even I would have thought that you would have to charge for this many services at this quality level a few years ago.

- Economics of the service are sound
- Apparently Google calculated their storage costs at about $2 a Gig. So there isn't much more cost than the regular search page. Downloads of attachments will cost something of course, but Google ought to have no problem making that up in advertising.

- Its possible for Google
- The compression technique that Google uses on its storage devices is one of the most advanced types & more than effective. Thus Google has many terabytes of unused disk space for which they don't have any idea as to how to use it.
Also, its being projected that all outgoing eMails from GMail will be scanned by an automated bot & Google will place ads in them according to the context of the content.
This will boost its ad sales sky high.

- It MUST be quite profitable
- It must be quite profitable, since they must get quite a lot of clicks on their ads (they all have something to do with what you're reading). And if you think well, 1GB is not that expansive for them. A HD with 120GB costs, in stores, not more than $140. That means each new user, if they ever get to use the 1000MB, costs to Google nearly a dollar (it's good to remember that it's a singletime cost, not monthly nor yearly). If each click on a text Ad cost $0.10, they'd only need about 10 clicks of each user to cover up their investments, and let's face it, each user gives Google's Ads much more than 10 clicks in a reasonably small time.

- My Opinion --GMail -- wish ko lng totoo.
- Definitely this involves money, why would I offer a free email over the entire public Internet users and take note with 1 GB mail box? Obviously,their agenda for this offering is "how to broadcast their advertisements"... This offering is fine as long as they can handle it and my mails are secured...

If they can manage to allow a process where existing e-mail and folders and address books can get sucked in to this one, and an update to address book entries about the new e-mail id, then this is a winner. I just hope this is NOT an April Fool's joke. That will be a total loser joke.

- As someone who keeps moving around from one part
of my medical training to another, this would be a very
useful service. Being able to keep archives of the
thousands of e-mails I cannot get rid of is nearly
impossible on any web-based service. But using my
university account, I have to forward everything and

It would be fantastic to have a central account to have
e-mail from my other 8-10 e-mail accounts forwarded
to. Bravo, Google. Now how in the world does one get

There must be something in the Manukau water!
Local moteliers Pat and Bernie Taylor from the Grange Motor Lodge, Papatoetoe were runners up in this years AA Supreme Host of the Year Award held at the Motel Association Gala Dinner in Wellington.
The award, which is in its tenth year, recognises excellence in customer service and is based on feedback from guests and a mystery shopper survey of the finalists.
Grange Motor Lodge has featured strongly in past awards with winning the award in 2004 and 2005 and being runners up in 2003 and 2008.
This year's winners, Shaydzz Motor Inn and Conference Centre from Palmerston North, in their acceptance speech, acknowledged that their win was due in part to Pat and Bernie Taylor who were their mentors when they first considered purchasing a motel.
"Pat and Bernie were very generous with their time and expertise when we were first looking to purchase a motel four and a half years ago. We feel we owe some of our success to their efforts" said Peter Gouwland owner / operator of Shaydzz.
Pat and Bernie are proud of what they have achieved over the years and are determined to go one better next time and proudly point out that they are currently ranked #1 on TripAdvisor of all 180 Hotels and Motels in the greater Auckland area
The multi award winning Grange lodge has gained a Qualmark Enviro Silver Award, recognising its high standards in environmental practices. This latest accolade is added to the Grange's impressive list of achievements which includes being awarded the AA Tourism Supreme Host of the Year award in 2004 and again in 2005 and being finalist for the same award in 2008 and 2012. In addition the motel has won awards in three categories of the Westpac Manukau Business Excellence Awards over recent years.
To earn New Zealand tourism's official environmental award the Grange Lodge had to show effectiveness in energy efficiency, waste management and water conservation, with community activities and conservation initiatives also considered under Qualmark's environmental criteria.
"We are very proud of New Zealand's reputation as a clean and green country and do what we can to promote this reputation with our many overseas guests" says Grange Lodge proprietor Bernie Taylor, "We are also passionate about our local community with my husband Pat being heavily involved in many local organisations to help make our community a better place"
All businesses carrying the Qualmark logo must meet standards for environmental practices says Qualmark Chairman, David Wilks, with the awards recognising top performers in this area. "Environmental practices are evaluated as part of our quality assessment process and Enviro Awards are granted to businesses showing a high degree of commitment to caring for the environment and their community," says Mr Wilks.
Over 470 businesses have achieved Enviro Award status- recognising their commitment to Qualmark's responsible tourism criteria and environmental practices.
Qualmark is New Zealand's trusted guide to quality travel experiences – helping travellers identify over 2300 great places to stay, things to do and ways to get around. Accommodation, activities and transport businesses carrying the Qualmark logo have been independently assessed to meet tough quality standards and environmental criteria- earning New Zealand tourism's official quality mark. Qualmark is jointly owned by Tourism New Zealand ant the New Zealand Automobile Association. The programme is run as an industry service, on a not for profit basis.

Westpac Manukau Business Excellence Awards
Pat and Bernie Taylor with staff, family, friends and dignitaries at the Award Ceremony
Grange Lodge was built in 1985 and purchased by banking industry veterans Pat and Bernie in 1995.
Pat and Bernie Taylor's motto of "Love'em to death" has seen their multi award winning motel, Grange Lodge, thrive in the 13 years they have owned it. For ten years the Taylors have embarked on a rigorous upgrade programme and the motel now rates Four Star with Qualmark.
"We are absolutely delighted. We were very keen on winning this award, as we have been finalists in this category for the last three years. This has helped us become a better business. We are always looking at fresh ways of doing things and meeting and exceeding expectations" Pat told Business to Business.
Twice before a winner in the Westpac Manukau Business Excellence Awards in other categories, the judges said that Grange Lodge's mission statement is clearly not just a collection of buzz words, but the core philosophy of their business: to exceed expectations, to provide memorable experiences and to offer passionate customer service.
"The motel gives us an ideal opportunity to impart our passion for New Zealand on to overseas visitors" Bernie said.

"This award recognises that passion and their business success."

"The Grange is one of our many businesses that are providing a top rate experience for their customers. Manukau is fast gaining a reputation as a place to do good business, and the Grange and all the winners at these awards are a testament as to why that is the case."
The best of Manukau's businesses were celebrated at the 2006 Westpac Manukau Business Excellence Awards gala dinner on September 8. The seven winning businesses were recognised, along with long standing members of the business community and those making an outstanding contribution to the community.

Link's Crossbow Training - first scans
The latest issue of Nintendo Power reveals the first images of Nintendo's pack-in Wii Zapper game, Link's crossbow Training. The hooded protagonist is seen picking off both enemies and targets in the world of Hyrule.
The scan isn't too large (click the thumbnail to enlarge), so details are that much harder to pick out. However, you'll first notice that the camera is set behind Link at a Resident Evil 4-style over the shoulder angle, rather than in a third person perspective, and that the game looks to use the same graphics engine as The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
Link is seen honing his skills against adversaries both on land and in the air, while a group of terribly brave Gorons hold static targets over in front of their bare bodies.
Nintendo recently detailed Link's Crossbow Training, revealing that the title includes three main modes, with a total of 27 stages in all. Every level is playable by either one or numerous players by sharing the accessory.
Link's Crossbow Training is released on November 19.

Charcoal Drawings by Yanni Floros - Girls with Headphones
Charcoal Drawings by Yanni Floros - Girls with Headphones
Australia-based Yanni Floros has total command of the charcoal. These drawings are meticulously detailed with just the right combination of realism and artistry. Drawing hair realistically is no small feat, and these are beyond convincing, capturing beauty in the somewhat mundane details of a single moment.
Yanni's work extends across painting, sculpture and drawing, focussing on "the pursuits of man and how those pursuits impact our development." He has an interest in technology, "especially the design of things and the way they're put together," and when viewing humanity as a whole, he tries to ask what it is "about us that wants to make all this?" Technology is so engrained in our lives, he questions whether we would be able to live without it.

Why would anyone, in fact, not wish to rejoice in this most American Miss?
She said he began to "rejoice" over the "lack of women in the room," lauding the tech industry for being a last bastion for men.
rejoice, Ladies, because Tyra has a stinky confession to make.
c.1300, "to own, possess, enjoy the possession of, have the fruition of," from Old French rejoiss-, present participle stem of rejoir, resjoir "gladden, rejoice," from re-, which here is of obscure signification, perhaps an intensive (see re-), + joir "be glad," from Latin gaudere "rejoice" (see joy).
Originally sense in to rejoice in. Meaning "to be full of joy" is recorded from late 14c. Middle English also used simple verb joy "to feel gladness; to rejoice" (mid-13c.) and rejoy (early 14c.). Related: Rejoiced; rejoicing.

Lewis hits the Jackpot again
Adrian Lewis retained his PDC World Championship crown with a 7-3 win over Andy Hamilton at Alexandra Palace.
By Rob Lancaster
Last Updated: 20/02/12 12:42pm
Adrian Lewis retained his PDC World Championship crown with a 7-3 victory over Andy Hamilton in the final at Alexandra Palace.
'Jackpot' followed in the footsteps of Eric Bristow and Raymond van Barneveld as he successfully defended the title the year after winning it for the first time.
He was, however, pushed hard by fellow Stoke thrower Hamilton, who fought gamely throughout but was never quite able to get his nose in front.
'The Hammer' twice pegged back his opponent to leave honours after the opening four sets, though neither was able to find the same form they had shown in their semi-final triumphs over Simon Whitlock and James Wade.
Lewis recovered from losing the opening leg to reel off three on the spin, clinching the first set impressively when he took out 122 on the bull.
The second then saw both unable to hold their throw until the fourth leg, Hamilton finding the target with double six to get back on terms.
It seemed in the third set Lewis was going to move through the gears, including a superb attempt at a nine-darter that saw him only denied when he narrowly missed double 12. In the end it took him 11 to win the leg, with double eight then clinching him a 2-1 lead.
Hamilton showed he too could find his best when needed, checkouts of 147 and 105 giving him the fourth set by a 3-1 scoreline. He should then have gone ahead for the first time but missed a chance to take the fifth set, allowing Lewis to sneak in and clinch it with a 12-darter.
When a 104 finish in the sixth set doubled his advantage, Lewis must have believed he'd done enough to break the resolve of his rival.
Hamilton, to his immense credit, kept going, sweeping through the seventh set in a hurry to raise hopes of a second great come-from-behind triumph, having battled back from 5-3 down to defeat Whitlock in the last round.
But Lewis took the next on double 11 - the same out-shot that clinched him the crown 12 months ago - and then responded superbly when 0-2 down in the 10th set.
Third time lucky
Although he missed his first two opportunities to clinch the match, it proved to be third time lucky for the 26-year-old when he landed double 20, ending a final that had fallen short of the lofty standards seen on the same stage just 24 hours earlier.
"It's not quite sunk in yet. I take everything on the chin and have a busy year ahead. This is (title) number two and I'll have a lot more," said Lewis, who had to come back from two sets down to beat Nigel Heydon in the first round before then rallying from a 5-1 deficit against Wade in the early hours of Monday morning.
"The fightback against James Wade last night won me the tournament. I believed in myself."
Asked how many times he could win the world title, he replied: "At least 10."
Hamilton, who received £100,000 as runner-up, was not too downhearted after the defeat - he had begun the event as a 200-1 outsider.

Alexander Schmidt has clearly taken some time over this staggering map of central Hackney. The chart shows seemingly every building in the area, with fine detailing on some of the houses. Alex explains the process behind its creation in equal detail:
Pieced together from memory and imagination, my map combines elements based on reality, but filtered through memory, creating a mish-mash, or not always necessarily spatially or geographically correct representations of urban space. The production of this map provides a different sense of space to conventional bird's eye view maps, because the elements of the houses, their textures and facades are an important element of the sense memory of walking these streets. My approach to this reality is leisurely and highly intuitive, and I avoid any demographic statement or restricted study on the social nature of the population. Using items taken from observing my own surroundings as models for my drawings, I bring an interpretation or design to this environment, enhanced by an anti-perspective dimension. This is contrasted with a situation of instability of architecture. My contribution is as fictitious as it is comprehensive, with possible staging in which different fictions develop.
We're not sure if anyone's invented the sport of 'extreme mapping' yet, but this would be a good example.

Holocaust museum teams with Google on Darfur project

The "Crisis in Darfur" projectwas launched Tuesday at a press conference in Washington, D.C., where the Holocaust Memorial Museum is located. Interested Web users can now download the Google Earth layer, which contains interactive content assembled by the museum, including photographs, data, and eyewitness testimonies. With the Crisis in Darfur layer, users can zoom in on detailed satellite photographs of the destruction in Sudan: more than 1,600 villages that have been damaged or destroyed, and more than 100,000 structures including mosques, schools, and homes.
The information in the Crisis in Darfur layer was derived from a variety of sources, including the U.S. State Department, the United Nations, individual photographers, and the museum's own content.
This is the first installment of the Genocide Prevention Mapping Initiative, an ongoing collaboration between the Museum and Google Earth that aims to better inform the world--from citizens to governments to institutions like universities and nonprofit groups--on humanitarian crises around the world. Additionally, the museum has announced the creation of "Mapping the Holocaust," a similar map layer to visualize and chart the history of the Holocaust in Europe. That layer is also available now, but will be updated over time with expanded information.
Google Earth was launched in June 2005 and now boasts more than 200 million users worldwide. It, along with similar 3D mapping applications from competitors, has become more than just a geography tool. For example, the Environmental Protection Agency announced earlier this year that it plans to use the Google Earth to map out toxic wastelands, and layers of additional content have been contributed by such sources as the U.S. National Park Service and the Discovery Network.

- How about the real Genocide in Iraq, 1000 times worst than Darfur
- If you had any doubt, or somehow you were blind, as to the fact that Google is just one more arm of the Big US media to control the mind of the people worldwide, this report that Google has teamed up with "Holocaust Museum" to document the Genocide in Darfur, should put that doubt to rest. For the killing and destruction that is being brought upon Iraqi people by US & UK forces armed with the most lethal weaponry in the world far exceeds the death and destruction being brought on people of Darfrur by a rag tag army of local tribes man. In fact the population of Iraq has been decimated to an extent which is simply beyond imagination. It is the true Genocide of our ages. But of course the Big US (Israeli controlled) media, of which Google is a main part of, who were the main instigator and backer of the war on Iraq will not be
reporting on the real Genocide in Iraq but create a fake Genocide report in Darfur to mislead the world, as always.
Wake up to the danger that the Big US media, of which Google, Yahoo, Hollywood, CNN, FOX, etc. are various parts of it pose to the safety of your country/family. For today they are slaughtering people in Iraq, tomorrow it could be your country & family. And of course at the same time they will create diversionary reports that they care about
suffering of people in some X country, ala Darfur now.
SO I urge you: whatever you do, do not use US Big media search engines such as Google or Yahoo. Contact your country leadership to provide a country based, local, search engine. Free yourself, your mind, from the clutches of Big US media.

By Brian Haas | The Tennessean
On some days, the state of Tennessee is fine with Bob Armentrout buying a gun.
Other days, he's not so lucky.
His attempt to buy a shotgun was blocked one day after he bought another gun.
"I had bought a handgun the day before. It went through fine, no problem. The next day I went to buy a shotgun I had been looking at. It was rejected," Armentrout said, describing a 2009 purchase. "This past Christmastime, I was buying a little .22-caliber pistol, and it was denied, too. I had to go through the same process."
He eventually got his guns, but he isn't alone in his frustration. Tennessee has the highest rate of gun purchase denials in the nation, according to a February report by the U.S. Department of Justice. In 2010, Tennessee rejected about 4.3 percent of gun buyers' purchases based on state criminal background checks, according to the report -- more than twice the national average of about 1.5 percent.
A majority of those who appeal their cases win, allowing them to eventually get a gun. Just like Armentrout did.
It's a system that annoys both buyers and sellers and could become an even bigger headache if new federal efforts to require background checks for all gun sales are successful.
"I can't even imagine how they're even going to keep up with the processing," Armentrout said. "They can barely keep up now."
Out-of-date records
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, which conducts a $10 background check on all gun purchases from gun stores, acknowledges it has a high denial rate.
Kristin Helm, spokeswoman for the agency, said that its criminal background system, called the TBI Instant Check System, or TICS, is great for recording arrests but doesn't always get updated as to the outcome of those cases.
"Missing dispositions has been an issue with criminal records; however, it has vastly improved over the last 10 years," Helm said. "When an appeal is filed on a denied transaction, TICS staff diligently tracks down each record from clerks' offices across the state to locate any missing information, which also updates the criminal history system."
In Armentrout's case, it was an out-of-state felony fraud charge that ended up being dismissed. He has had a valid concealed weapon carry permit for years, so he has already gone through the state's background system. But he still has had to put up with rejected gun purchases.
"Apparently, Tennessee is doing something different, because I've never had any problems in the state of Washington, in the state of South Carolina, in the state of Ohio," he said. "It tells me Tennessee is doing something odd with what they're doing with background checks. Or it points to the fact that these records are not real accurate, they're not up to date."
No explanations
In 2010, 12,728 gun purchases were denied in Tennessee alone, according to the Department of Justice report. Of those, more than 7,700 denials were appealed -- about 4,400 of those successful. In all, about 57 percent of appeals were successful.
Most of the denials are due to some sort of apparent criminal background, whether it be a felony or a domestic violence charge, according to the federal report.
Curtis Dodson has seen firsthand the inconvenience of these frequent denials. Dodson has owned The Armory gun store in Lebanon since 2006. When a customer wants to buy a gun, Dodson checks to make sure he or she is a Tennessee resident, takes the $10 background check fee, logs on to the TBI's system and plugs in the customer's information.
Results typically take a few minutes, tops, though the system has been prone to stall for hours at a time, he said.
When a customer is denied, Dodson said, there's never an explanation. And while he will give customers all the information to file an appeal, they sometimes hold it against the store owner.
"Not only is it frustrating, it's embarrassing," Dodson said. "That's probably the biggest source of frustration. We may not get that customer back."
Background checks
Since the Dec. 14 massacre of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., there have been efforts to introduce federal legislation tightening control on gun purchases. One proposal calls for universal background checks.
Under current law, private sales don't require a background check. That sometimes includes vendors at gun shows who operate as private sellers -- the "gun show loophole." The current proposal would require background checks even on private sales between neighbors.
While the measure is still being debated in Congress, it picked up key support last week from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a trade group that represents major gun manufacturers.
But if universal background checks pass, that could spell even more headaches for Tennessee gun buyers.
The state had a flood of background checks to run in the past two months because of worries that new gun legislation might restrict certain semi-automatic rifles. Dodson said the volume made background checks even more of a problem.
The TBI said it dealt well with the increase in gun sales, which saw jumps after Obama was elected in 2008, after he was re-elected in 2012 and after the Newtown shootings. The agency said it will be able to handle additional increases if universal background checks pass.
"It would alter our staffing model a bit -- requiring more work of staff and shifting the routine processing to the call takers," Helm said. She couldn't offer a guess as to how much staffing would be needed in that scenario but said that inconveniences caused by erroneous denials are ultimately worth it.
"Waiting on the final outcome of an appeal might be an inconvenience on a small percentage of individuals," Helm said, "but that outweighs the risk of releasing a firearm to someone who is ineligible to purchase one."

Bridgette Hagerty, Ph.D., assistant professor of Biology, is working on a research project with her students involving a disease that is implicated in global amphibian declines.
"Working hand in hand with students helps to give me a different take on the subject," said Hagerty.
Ranavirus, the disease that is infecting amphibians, reptiles and fish, has no cure. Hagerty and her students are working to understand how common the disease is in our area and how it impacts the local amphibian populations. Ranavirus occurs on several continents and infects species of frogs, toads, salamanders, turtles and fish.
"Why should we care about this disease if it does not directly make humans sick?" said Hagerty. "Amphibians like frogs and salamanders are extremely important neighbors in our local aquatic ecosystem. Tadpoles keep local waterways clean by eating algae, and adult amphibians consume large quantities of insects, which can transmit diseases among humans."
Amphibians also serve as food to other animals like dragonflies, fish, snakes and birds.
"Not to mention, spring would be very quiet if we didn't have the beautiful chorus of frogs at night, right?" said Hagerty.

NSW Police reportedly settles with Micro Focus
blog Remember how NSW Police was allegedly caught red-handed pirating software from enterprise IT vendor Micro Focus? And how the whole story was the subject of an extensive and embarassing documentary report by the 7:30 Report in April 2012? Yeah. Not precisely the best look for the boys in blue. Well, it appears that NSW Police has come clean in the case. iTNews reports (we recommend you click here for the full article, it's quite detailed and has a decent timeline):
"The NSW Attorney General will this week sign an out of court settlement with software vendor Micro Focus, putting an end to a protracted and expensive dispute between the State's law enforcement services and the software vendor over licenses."
Remember, kids, piracy is a crime. You wouldn't steal a car. You wouldn't steal a handbag, You wouldn't steal a television. You wouldn't steal a movie.
Downloading pirated films Using more licenses for expensive enterprise IT software than you've actually paid for is just not on. Tell everyone you know. Piracy is piracy.

Yes. "The chocolate ration is up again":
Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal (2004)
January 31, 2004
The Chocolate Ration is Up Again!
The chocolate ration is up again! The wit and wisdom of Timothy
Kane, Ph.D. Research Fellow in Macroeconomics in the Center for
Data Analysis at The Heritage Foundation. He tells us that the U.S.
economy is now at its "natural, full-employment" unemployment rate,
and that declines in labor force participation rates and
employment-to-population ratios are positive signs:
The American Workforce: Strong Facts Trump Weak Myths: The
unemployment rate is coming back to its natural, full-employment
rate of 5.7 percent. Many skeptics attribute lower unemployment
to growing ranks of Americans so discouraged by weak labor
markets that they have stopped looking for jobs, and therefore
no longer count as unemployed, but that scenario doesn't fit the
Consider the facts:
+ 4th quarter data are overwhelmingly positive.
+ Part-time workers are predominantly voluntary.
+ Teens are driving the lower participation rates.
Let's just pick on the third. Time is limited, after all. Kane writes:
Timothy Kane: Among [American] teens, the [labor force]
participation rate peaked at 59 percent in 1978 and has trended
down by 3 percent per decade. The [labor force participation]
rate dropped dramatically by 10 percent over the last three
years. Currently, only 43.2 percent of teenagers participate in
the labor force, a level seen only once before, in 1965. For
perspective, the rate hasn't been below 50 percent since 1971,
save one month in April 1992.
We can only speculate as to why four in 10 teenagers now look
for work, instead of the traditional five in 10. Most likely,
young Americans have not lost jobs and become discouraged;
rather, they never looked for a job in the first place. Perhaps
working while in school makes less sense in an era when human
capital development is so important for lifetime income. Far
from a crisis in the job market, this is probably a positive
trend for American students' ability to focus on education. Take
it as another sign of a workforce that is evolving towards
knowledge-driven service industries and away from muscle jobs.
OK. Let's review the bidding. The labor force participation rate for
teenagers 16-19 was 51.9% in December 1992, 52.1% in December 1996,
peaked at a high for the last business cycle at 53.0% in April 2000,
was 52.1% in December 2000, and since then has fallen off a cliff:
48.1% in December 2001, 46.3% in December 2002, and 43.2% in
December 2003. The employment-to-population ratio for teenagers was
45.2% in December 2000, 40.0% in December 2001, 38.6% in December
2002, and 36.2% in December 2003.
Kane wants to pretend that the fall in the past three years in the
share of teenagers in the labor force--at work or looking for
work--is due not to the fact that it's a lot harder for a teenager
to find and hold a job now than it was three years ago but to the
fact that "working while in school makes less sense in an era when
human capital development is so important.... Far from a crisis in
the job market, this is probably a positive trend"? Has human
capital development become so much more important--so much more
important as to induce a fall in the share of teenagers in the labor
force of 1/6--in the past three years? No. It hasn't.
What's happened since 2000 is not that the rewards to teenagers of
forgoing work, staying in school, studying harder, and borrowing
money have increased. What's happened since 2000 is that it's
harder to find a job.
Now it is important to recognize one thing. The argument that the
past three years have seen a revolution in the hearts and minds of
young Americans as they recognize the value of not working so they
can study harder as they finish their education is not meant to be
convincing to anyone who studies American education or American
labor markets. But it is meant to provide talking points to someone
who wants to convince an underbriefed journalist that the bad news
about the state of the labor market isn't really such bad news.
As I've said many times before, I'll stop calling this crew
"Orwellian" when they stop using 1984 as an operations manual.

Potter nailed a 43-yard field goal and hit both FGs he attempted in the game. He went 2 for 2 on PATs and finished with eight points scored.
Forbath will look to return to action Week 4 at Oakland. If that happens, Potter will no longer be kicking for the Redskins.
Shanahan said he doesn't know if the Redskins will keep John Potter, who handle the placekicking duties Week 2, until Forbath returns.
"It all depends. I can't tell you exactly what we're going to do," Shanahan said.
He was 0 for 1 on field goal attempts and 2 for 2 on PATs for a total of two points. As long as Forbath is healthy, Potter won't be kicking for Washington Week 3 against the Lions.

I am currently studying MSC Distributed system security and networks in the U.K., and I want to know what I should do after completing my degree to get a job in this related field. What particular subject should I focus more or study more about, and what skills should I develop to make a place for myself in the current market?
You might want to consider pursuing a technical information security certification of some kind or another. Were you here in the US, I would recommend something like the ISC-squared's CISSP, ISACA CISM, or one of the SANS GIAC intermediate or senior level credentials. But since I don't know much about how those credentials are recognized or accepted in the U.K., I'd urge you to talk to a faculty advisor or mentor about how best to pursue your career goals. At a minimum, you'll want to make sure your research and/or thesis work is relevant to the workplace (that will help you find a good position); at best, you might luck into research work that would lead directly to post-matriculation employment.
Best of luck in your career planning and training/education activities!

My son was returned home to me, pale and extremely subdued, after his weekend visit at his dads on Sunday afternoon.
I could tell instantly that something was very wrong, but when I asked him about it he just said that he wanted to go to his room.
So he after he'd been in his room for a while I went in to check on him.
He was crying and watching the movie "I Am Sam" on his computer.
The movie "I Am Sam" has always made my son cry.
Yet he continuously watches it because just like Sam, he too dreams of becoming a father one day.
His desire to become a father and experience the joys of raising a child has always been on the top of my son's wish list for as long as any of us can remember.
Even as a child, he'd continuously express his desire to hold and care for babies.
His little hands would always be awkwardly reaching out toward the nearest person smaller than himself.
Anyone who truly knows my son also can't help but know this one very important fact about him.
Because of this, I am the first to admit that my son's relationship to the movie "I Am Sam" is a complicated one.
He loves to watch it because although it upsets him, it also fills him with the hope that fatherhood for him need not be an impossible dream but instead can become a reachable reality.
He relates to this movie on such a deep level because it is the only movie of its kind that portrays an adult, especially a man with an intellectual disability, as being capable of genuinely caring for others, of having a sexual relationship with another special needs adult, and most importantly, of becoming a loving and devoted father despite his own personal circumstances.
My son is clearly smart enough to know, that the story line contained within the movie, is not beyond the realm of possibility.
For this reason, he fears that one day, when he does become a father, there may be someone out there who will try to legally remove his baby from his care, as was done to Sam, by claiming that his status as an adult with special needs makes him an unfit parent.
Usually my son will watch the movie, cry and then come and seek reassurance from me that I will never, ever let anyone take away his baby when he has one.
This time however, he wouldn't come out of his room and talk to me.
Despite my best efforts he chose to remain within the solitude of in his room all night.
This morning when he woke up, he looked even paler and refused to eat his breakfast.
Yet he insisted on going to College, as he's just met a girl that he really likes and he said that he wanted to be near her.
Okay. So we get ready and we're driving in the car when he suddenly breaks down again.
Only this time he's not just silently crying the way he was in his bedroom the night before.
This time he's physically dissolving into great heaving sobs of sadness as he sits in his seat right beside me.
I pull over and take him in my arms and ask him again what's wrong.
It is only then that the awful truth finally comes tumbling, haltingly, out of his mouth and the cruel gravity of what's been said to him whilst at his father's house, hits me like a red-hot arrow straight to the heart.
On Sunday, whilst they were alone, his father's new wife took it upon herself to tell my son that he'd "never ever be able to have children of his own because he has Autism and his genetics are all wrong."
He said she then told him to "stop talking about it because she was tired of hearing it and it's never going to happen anyway so just get over it."
Her words must have felt like bullets to him.
Delivered as they were in such an incredibly cold and cruel (and if I were a lesser person I'd also say a deliberately well calculated) way.
The impact they had had on him had quite literally cut into the very core of his being.
I kept my own sense of rage in check as I tried to calmly reassure him that 'her' words weren't true.
Then I remembered that I had a letter from my son's geneticist still in my bag from the week before. I grabbed it out and read the last line of it out to him……
"As we discussed in our previous visit, I look forward to seeing James again when he decides it's time for him to have children as there is no reason why his desire to become a father should not be realized."
Fortunately for us, we had seen the Geneticist in November of last year and James had asked him whether or not he would be able to have children.
Though initially taken aback by the question, coming as it was from a 16-year-old with Autism and a chromosome deletion to boot, the geneticist answered my son by telling him that there was no reason why, with due care, he could not have children.
He also told him that the best way forward with having children would probably be to look at some form of IVF so that they can check any future embryo's to see if they are carrying any chromosome deletions before implanting them.
The whole issue of IVF took quite a bit of explaining later at home, but I still remember the smile that almost split my son's face in two once the penny had dropped and the realization that he could truly become a father without causing any genetic harm to his baby finally hit home to him.
I tell you, never have I felt so pleased to have doggedly persisted in chasing down the necessary genetic screening tests for my son and never have I felt so relieved to have fallen down on my self-appointed task of judiciously filing away all of James important documents, as I did today.
My son sobbed some more as we sat there in our rain splattered car, then slowly, he lifted his head and warily glanced in the general direction of my face.
"You promise me I can have children?" he asked me.
'Yes I promise' I told him. 'Look here it is in writing. In good old black and white. And you remember don't you how happy you were when the geneticist said that you could have children?'
He nods and blows his nose. His tears slowly stop falling.
"So what she said isn't true?" He asks one more time.
"No it's not true. This," I say waving the letter in my hand toward him, "this is true."
"But she's a nurse. She said she knows about this kind of thing".
'I don't care what she is. She's is wrong."
Finally, as a parent, I had the ability to not only answer my son's questions but to also defend his truths and validate the personal worth and integrity of his dreams against the erosion of harm and doubt that other people's words of ignorance had caused him.
To prove it I hand him the letter.
He looks at it as if he's reading it but I know there's no way his vision is clear enough to read such small writing.
Never the less, he smiles.
Folds it up and asks if he can take it to College with him.
Normally I'd say no. Not till I've made a copy of it.
But today……?
Today I say….. Yes.
Because if nothing else, he needs a yes after enduring God knows how ever many hours of the cruelty of ignorance he's forced to endure at his father's house.
And as we all know, ignorance is the curse that those with Autism are far too often forced to deal with every day in our society.
The curse that follows you home and invades not just your outer space but your inner space as well. Silently shedding its doubts on all of your personal thoughts, your hopes and your dreams, long after the echoes of the words once spoken have disappeared.

Fund for Animals v. Mainella, 283 F. Supp. 2d 418 (D. Mass. 2003)
Case Summary:
On behalf of The Fund for Animals, The Humane Society of the United States, and the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, we sued the National Park Service for its ongoing authorization of hunting of pheasants in the Cape Cod National Seashore. Plaintiffs argued that hunting in the Seashore was in violation of the National Environmental Policy Act because the Park Service had never conducted an adequate environmental analysis. In particular, plaintiffs argued that the Park Service's authorization of the annual importation, release, and sport-shooting of hundreds of farm-raised pheasants - which are not a native species to Cape Cod and have no ability to survive in the wild - violated both NEPA and the National Park Service's own internal Management Policies. A Massachusetts federal court agreed with plaintiffs that the National Park Servie must conduct a site specific envrionmental analysis of the program under NEPA..
Plaintiffs: The Fund for Animals, The Humane Society of the United States, Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and individuals.

I grew up knowing my parents in 1969(in Vegas)watched these guys do the same skits they did and now I'm going to watch those same skits. I grew up watching the movies based on those skits and watched videos of those skits and can connect the dots.
the problem is, the younger generations won't understand alot of what they talk about because they were not exposed at that time to what my parents generation was. They have told me out right, they are the generation of indulgence, sex, drugs rock music etc. there was back then, marijuana, LSD, Heroin and shrooms and cocaine that were prevalent.
now you hve much worse stuff like Meth, Crack and alot of other stuff that wasn't around then.
cheech and chong cover the verbiage and lifestyle of the kids of their generation. I came into the world 4 years after the last baby boomers but still grew up in a time when that was prevalent for its' time. it is still relavent to those of us who grew up in it in the 60's and 70's..

MULTIPLE sclerosis begins with the death of brain cells that produce the insulating myelin sheath around nerve cells, not with an immune attack on the sheath, as most researchers believe. That's the conclusion of a study of brain tissue from 300 MS sufferers by John Prineas and Michael Barnett of the University of Sydney, Australia.
Their findings back the view that the reason for the lack of progress in this field is that most MS research is done on mice with a disease that is actually quite different (
The latest work began after Prineas examined the brain of a 14-year-old girl who had died 17 hours into an MS relapse. He found no signs of an immune attack, and the myelin was intact. But oligodendrocytes, the cells that produce the insulating myelin sheath, were dying.
Studies of other patients who had died ...

"YOU are a food scientist. Why can't you use science to liven up our picnics?" asked my wife Wendy, tired of being upstaged by neighbouring picnickers. It was summer and we were at an open-air concert, the kind where the ticket reads: "Bring a picnic and chairs". This is not as innocent as it sounds. The picnics in our part of rural Somerset are competitive affairs, with candelabra and haute cuisine. Wendy, it seems, had had enough of prawn sandwiches on a tartan rug.
It seemed a fair challenge, so as we listened to the music of Acker Bilk I began to work on ideas for a scientific picnic that would upstage all the others. Here follows my vision.
