What GAO Found
This is an e-supplement to GAO-12-930. This e-supplement presents the results of GAO's web-based survey of participant firms in the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Firms program. Established in 1962, the TAA for Firms program helps trade-impacted, economically distressed firms make strategic adjustments to help enable them to recover and compete in the global economy. The Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA) administers the program and funds 11 TAA Centers covering different geographic regions composed of one to eight states. Each Center assists firms in its geographic region by conducting outreach efforts, helping firms certify as eligible for program assistance, developing firms' business recovery plans, and providing matching funds to implement projects in the plans through third-party consultants.

Gold and silver prices sold off as traders booked profits Thursday following a rally the prior session sparked by the Federal Reserve announcing more economic stimulus.
In afternoon trade, spot gold prices plunged 0.98% to 1,695.80. SPDR Gold Shares (ARCA:GLD), tracking a 10th of an ounce of bullion, gapped down 0.94% to 164.21.
This could be a classic case of traders "selling the news" in the wake of the Fed pledging to more than double its monthly asset purchases from $40 billion to $85 billion until the unemployment rate falls below 6.5%.
AP View Enlarged Image
"Gold and silver follow a pattern of running up ahead of quantitative easing announcements and then having sharp multiday sell-offs afterward, so there might be more selling for a couple more days," Mark Thomas, founder of Silver Price Advisor, wrote in an email. "This same pattern happened in September when QE3 was announced. It shows ... this insane monetary policy is losing its effect and financial markets have become addicted to liquidity injections."
He also believes traders are booking profits ahead of year's end to save on taxes, which are expected to increase next year.
Christopher Blasi, president of gold and metals dealer Neptune Global Holdings in Wilmington, Del., sees a deflationary angle. "It is a pretty sure sign that deflationary forces are in place and the Fed's play book is wanting," he wrote in an email. "Investors understand that gold will appreciate vs. the dollar in an inflationary environment, but many don't know that gold will outperform in a deflationary environment relative to other assets and when calibrated in real purchasing power."
Gold is forming a base or consolidating in a price range below its 50-day moving average but above its 200-day moving average. That indicates it's in a weak long-term uptrend. It has to break above its 50-day line "to get any traction to the upside," says Janice Dorn, co-founder of Jtrader.us. Until it breaks above the 50-day line and holds, any short-term rallies approaching that level will be met with selling, she says.
Gold could consolidate for a few more weeks before continuing its uptrend, says Peter Spina, president of GoldSeek.com in Littleton, Colo. The fundamental catalysts to drive prices higher remain intact, he says. The Fed's continuing policy of printing money to buy bonds will devalue the dollar, making dollar-denominated commodities more expensive. He expects gold to find buying support at $1,650 to $1,675 an ounce.
PowerShares DB U.S. Dollar Index Bullish (ARCA:UUP), measuring the greenback against a basket of major foreign currencies, ticked up 0.14%. It usually moves opposite from gold. It's trading below both its 50- and 200-day moving averages, reflecting severe weakness and a strong downtrend.
Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (ARCA:GDX) fell 3.10% to 46.15. It failed to break above its 200-day moving average during Wednesday's pop. Its chart shows a strong downtrend.
Silver Prices
The price of silver, typically more volatile than gold, dropped 3.23% to 32.47 an ounce.
IShares Silver Trust (ARCA:SLV) fell 3.10% to 31.37.
Global X Silver Miners ETF (ARCA:SIL) gave back 2.89% to 22.82.
Thomas of Silver Price Advisor projects silver will soar to $42 an ounce next year.
In the meantime, commercial traders are overwhelmingly trading silver short, in hopes of profiting from falling prices. Terry Sacka, chief strategist at Cornerstone Asset Metals, in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., expects silver prices to rally once the short sellers close their positions by buying back the contracts they borrowed.
As of late November, the commercial traders had sold short 99,317 silver futures contracts, totaling 496,585,000 ounces of silver. That amounts to about two-thirds of 2011's worldwide mine production and is the highest level of short exposure since 2009, according to Sacka.
"The pressure is on the shorts. When they have to cover, watch out," Sacka wrote in an email. "Wait until the fiscal cliff is resolved and you should see some interesting fireworks."

San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Gregor Blanco drove in the winning run in the eighth inning as the San Francisco Giants took a 4-2 win over the San Diego Padres to open a four-game series.
Blanco finished the game 3-for-5 with a run scored, while Pablo Sandoval hit a solo home run and scored twice for the Giants, who had lost eight of nine coming into the game.
Madison Bumgarner (10-5) settled down from a rough first inning to pitch seven strong frames, giving up just four hits and two runs along with a walk and six strikeouts to win his third straight start.
"Early, he was getting under the ball and leaving pitches up. But he made a nice adjustment and gave us seven solid innings in a much, much-needed win," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy.
Carlos Quentin and Kyle Blanks each drove in a run for the Padres, who have lost 12 of their last 13 games. Jason Marquis started on the mound and gave up two runs on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.
With Luke Gregerson (4-5) on the mound and the score tied in the eighth, Kensuke Tanaka singled and quickly stole second. Tanaka then moved to third on a Brandon Crawford groundout and Tony Abreu was hit by a pitch. Blanco then drilled a pitch to deep left and it hopped over the wall for an RBI ground- rule double. Abreu was caught in a rundown between third and home on a Marco Scutaro grounder, but Buster Posey punched a single to center for a 4-2 lead.
Sandy Rosario worked around a two-out single in the eighth, while Sergio Romo put the Padres down 1-2-3 in the ninth for his 21st save of the season.
The Padres jumped on top in the first as Chris Denorfia and Chase Headley put runners at the corners with back-to-back one-out singles. Quentin then doubled to score Denorfia and Jesus Guzman was issued an intentional walk to load the bases. Blanks then hit into a fielder's choice, scoring Headley for a 2-0 lead.
"That was our best opportunity to really stretch that lead," said San Diego manager Bud Black. "He's a really good pitcher and you have to take advantage of what he gives you. We did a decent job of that there, but we just couldn't get the big hit."
San Francisco left runners at first and third in the third inning, but got on the board in the fourth as Sandoval led off with his ninth home run of the season.
The Giants then tied the game in the sixth as Tanaka singled home Sandoval with the bases loaded and one out. Joe Thatcher then came on in relief and got Crawford to hit a grounder back to the mound for the force out at home, and Dale Thayer struck out Bumgarner to end the frame.
Bumgarner settled down after the rough first inning and set the Padres down in order from the second through the fifth inning. He gave up a two-out single to Quentin in the sixth, but then struck out Guzman.
San Francisco has won six of the 10 games against San Diego this season ...

Backman home with Mets
PORT ST. LUCIE — Wally Backman didn't get the job he wanted most.
But he should.
And I'm guessing he will.
"I want to manage in the big leagues," Backman was saying the other day at the Digital Domain Park complex, where he was among several former New York Mets players and coaches participating in the team's annual fantasy camp.
"I know the game. I know how to communicate with players. I'm qualified. I'm just doing what I need to do, waiting for the opportunity."
The right opportunity.
With the Mets.
"The Mets are home to me," said Backman, who was selected by the Mets in the first round of the 1977 amateur draft and spent the first nine seasons of his 14-year, major league career on the National League side of New York, where he was an irreplaceable piece in the team's 1986 World Series championship puzzle.
"This is where I started. This is where I'd like to finish."
This is where he was given a chance to get back into baseball — real baseball — and resurrect his managing career.
It was in November 2004 that Backman's dream of becoming a major league manager came true.
The Arizona Diamondbacks gave him the chance of a lifetime, promoting him to guide the big league club from their Class A affiliate in the California League, where he guided the Lancaster JetHawks to an 86-54 record and was named The Sporting News' "Minor League Manager of the Year."
Four days later, however, the dream turned into a nightmare.
Backman was fired after a New York Times report revealed a history of legal and financial troubles: a restraining order request filed by his first wife in 1995; a drunk-driving conviction in 2001; a domestic violence arrest later that year; and a bankruptcy filing in 2003.
The Diamondbacks said they fired Backman because he did not disclose any of those incidents when asked by team officials, before they offered the job, if there were any off-the-field problems in his past they needed to be aware of.
"The DUI was my fault," Backman said. "I did a dumb thing and I've learned from it."
The other issues?
The 1995 restraining order was granted by a judge before Backman had a chance to dispute his then-wife's allegations and was canceled shortly after it was obtained. And, according to an ESPN.com story written in 2007, the domestic violence arrest was "merely a heated marital moment overblown by police involvement" and his wife denied being hit.
As for the bankruptcy, I'm not sure how, exactly, Backman's financial difficulties made him a less-capable baseball manager. But, apparently, it did — because once the Diamondbacks dumped him, his baseball life was over.
Or so it seemed.
Not until 2007 did he venture back to the ballpark, managing the Albany-based South Georgia Peanuts in the South Coast League, an independent operation near the bottom of professional baseball. He steered his team to a championship.
He then spent two seasons managing in Joliet, Ill., in the independent Northern League.
"I love to manage, and I knew I was good at it," Backman said. "I just kept hoping somebody would notice and give me another chance."
His hopes became reality in November 2009, when Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon signed off on the front office's pitch to offer Backman a job managing the Brooklyn Cyclones in the Class A New York-Penn League.
It was as much a probationary period as it was an audition for bigger and better jobs in the future. And Backman was told up front: One hiccup and you're gone.
He responded wonderfully, leading the Cyclones to a first-place finish, a 51-24 record and a berth in the league's championship series.
"I'm grateful to the Wilpons for bringing me in and giving me another shot," Backman said of the Mets owners. "They took a chance on me when they didn't have to."
Backman's success in Brooklyn — along with the popularity he earned with his gritty, blue-collar play as a second baseman for much of the 1980s — made him a fan favorite to succeed Jerry Manuel, who was fired as the Mets manager after last season. And he was among the four finalists for the job.
But new Mets general manager Sandy Alderson chose Terry Collins, who had managed in the major leagues in Houston and Anaheim.
Backman was stunned.
"It was frustrating because my interviews went really well and I thought I was going to get it," he said. "And to come that close to getting your dream job ... It's tough, because I know what I could do."That's no slight at Terry, who I've known a long time. He's a good baseball man and he'll do a good job. But I was hoping it was finally my time."
Instead, his chase continues.
So does his audition.
Backman, 51, will manage in the Mets' minor league system this year, either at Class AA Binghamton or Class AAA Buffalo, and that's not necessarily a bad thing: The major league club won't be ready to win big until at least 2012.
In the meantime, Backman will be watched and evaluated. The Mets want to make sure he's ready to make the jump, when the time comes.
And, my guess is, it will.
Certainly, it should.
"It would have to be a very special person in the right situation for me to quit managing and take a big league job as a coach," Backman said. "I'm a manager. I like the strategy part of the game, the chess match, using a 25-man roster and making the right moves at the right times.
"I'm very competitive," he added. "I enjoy the one-on-one, going up against the guy in the other dugout. And I like managing the players — making sure they're ready to play every day, demanding that they play the way I played."
He just needs a team to give him a chance. He wants that team to be the Mets. And, for now, he's willing to wait.
But if too much time passes and another team can get past his past ...
"There are 29 other organizations out there, and I know I've got something to offer," Backman said. "But I loved being back in New York last year. And I love being back with the Mets. I feel I'm home, that this is where I belong. It's where I want to stay."
Managing the Mets is the job he wants most.

Bulgarian PM Vows Electricity Price Drop amid Mass Protests
Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov said Tuesday that the cost of electricity in the country would be decreased by 8% starting March 1 2013.
Borisov clarified that the electricity price drop would only take place if the national energy regulator agency accepts the move.
Borisov summoned a press conference on Tuesday in the aftermath of the mass protests against high electricity bills that swept the country over the last three days.
Venting their anger at high electricity bills, the protesters demanded the resignation of the cabinet and the renationalization of power distributors.
The rallies in downtown Sofia Monday evening were marked by clashes with riot police, which continued for over 4 hours with policemen chasing demonstrators on Sofia streets.

Riddle me this,
In my code, I am using a map to store all the methods of an object which have my annotation. Because of the way I wanted to use the map, I'm storing the java.reflection.Method object as the value, and the key is an array list containing the method name as a String and the parameter types as a Class[]
to create the map my code does the following:
def map = [:]
Foo.metaClass.methods*.cachedMethod.each {
if(it.isAnnotationPresent(Test.class)) {
map << [([it.name, it.parameterTypes]):it]
This successfully returns me a map containing something similar to this:
[[exampleMethod, [class java.lang.String, class java.lang.String]]:public java.util.List Foo.exampleMethod(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)]
I can examine the key and print the classes and know that its made up of an
ArrayList where the first element is a
String and the second is a
Class[] containing two
Whilst testing this code, I built an Array list which is equivalent to a key i knoiw exists in the map:
def tstKey = ["exampleMethod" as String, [String.class, String.class]]
And I know this is equivalent to a current key with an assert:
assert tstKey == curKey
Which passes fine... However when I try to access the element by
tstKey it returns null. Yet accessing the element by
curKey returns the element.
This has left me scratching my head a little. If they are equivalent arrays, why can't I return the element using the built
SIDENOTE: I tried using
getParamTypes() on the CachedMethod instead of
getParameterTypes on the actual method, however it returned null despite
getParamsCount returning
2, any ideas why that would be?

Your hero may be an individual widely admired within your community, or perhaps a coworker in your agency office.

Concerned about widespread gang violence in his community, Lee started the Fallen Hero Legacy Scholarship Program to extend the opportunity to attend college or a vocational trade school to at-risk young adults. Scholarships are one piece of a four-part youth program administered by Lee's organization with widespread community support, and partly funded through the collection of inkjet and toner cartridges otherwise headed to local landfills. Lee's organization collects the environmentally harmful cartridges, recycles rather than disposes of them, and uses the recycling reimbursement to fund Fallen Hero Legacy scholarships. The belief underlying Lee's work is that "We are all citizens of our communities. We are all affected by what happens in the world around us. And we all have a duty and a role to play to make our world better than it was before us."

I quit my job at Dell, crammed some stuff into a backpack, and went to Southeast Asia (and a few other places) for about six weeks. Not exactly "traveling the world" as we only went to a few countries, but it was more of a backpacker/adventure travel experience than I had ever had previously.

After experiencing things from the other side, my only wish is that one day people start to wake up; that they put down the beauty magazines and switch off the E!

If you're intrigued by the idea of adventure travel, incorporating it into your next vacation is actually pretty easy. Stowell and Wolters both suggested examining your interests and picking an activity that challenges you to engage with a destination in a new way.

Looking back on my past three years of college, I can easily say that some of my fondest memories are from the study abroad trips that I've been on. It's crazy to think that this time three years ago I had never been out of the country.

I have multiple authors on my blog and I want to prevent them from uploading images that are too big, e.g nothing over 80kb is allowed.
I ideally want the main admin (me) to still be able to upload whatever they want. I use the role manager plugin to help set roles.
Is this possible?
Even better would be an error message that when the file is too big to have a custom error message.
But if I could just limit the max file size that would be good in itself.

do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the whole iTunes folder and all its subfolders and files intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

Raised bed vegetable gardening is popular because the beds can be more accessible.
They provide for less stooping, supply a solution for poorly drained sites, allow the soil to be amended easily to give better growing conditions, and may be placed in small spaces. The produce harvested would add more servings of vegetables to a meal and help stretch the dollars budgeted for food.

Release Date:
March 26, 1996
Although the Crusaders could not have known it at the time, their recording of "Street Life" (which features a memorable vocal by Randy Crawford) was a last hurrah for the 20-year old group. Their recordings of the next few years would decline in interest until the band gradually faded away in the '80s. However this particular set is well worth picking up for the 11-minute title cut and there is good playing by the three original members (Wilton Felder on tenor, soprano and electric bass, keyboardist Joe Sample and drummer Stix Hooper) along with guitarist Barry Finnerty; horn and string sections, plus additional guitarists are utilized on Sample's commercial but listenable arrangements Scott Yanow, Rovi

2 out of 3 people found this review helpful:Great if you just want superficial pretties, confusion and no brain simulation.I was excited 'cause it looked and sounded good but AMNESIA was awful. It was impossible to form an attachment to any of the characters, I didn't even have a chance as they changed what little personality they had every. single. episode. So everyone was flat, even the main character. Did she even have a name?? What is wrong with this girl, she's more like a goldfish than a real person. At ...Read more
2 out of 8 people found this review helpful:AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JUST AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THIS ANIME SOOOOO MUCH! RECOMMEND WATCHING IT! ARTWORK FOR THE CHARACTERS ARE AMAZING AND YOU WILL NOT REGRET WATCHING IT! IT MAY BE CONFUSING BUT ITS OKAY!
0 out of 1 people found this review helpful:It could have been amazing but lacked something important.I have to say I was disappointed with two things in particular.. The lack of emotion.. Maybe it's just me but I didn't cry... Only at the end and I had to make myself cry.. And when it comes to anime's and dramas I'm a cry baby!! The other thing is the lack of comedy.. but i guess the fan girl moments make up for it! But other than that it was amazing! its the first dating sim game turned to an ...Read more
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful:Good, but bad at the same time lolThe concept of this anime was really cool. If there was more than one season this would definitely be a great show. Also for the ending, i felt like it was a bit rushed. I would have liked to see more. But overall it was really good and it's worth the watch.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:It's a good watch but It's not satisfying.Amnesia's base was really great and I think the idea was there but the funding and time given were not. 12 episodes certainly wasn't enough for my to feel at ease with this series and I feel it could have been made into a good 2 full seasons as each episode was far too rushed and lacked background.Read more
That aside... I loved the look! I thought each Character matched their attitude and were so ...
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Good twist - not enough episodesAmnesia is the kind of story that shouldn`t be told in less than 15 episodes, as it was. The idea is great, somewhat original, but at the same time we don`t get the closure from most of the characters that we should have. It ended too quickly and the last 2 episodes seemed rushed for me. I would have liked to know more about the guys and their stories and how they knew the Heroine, and I would ...Read more
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:This could have been better.I felt the idea for this series was very interesting and captivating, but honestly the ending was horrible. Now if they made a season 2 and found some way to spice it up that would probably make this show better and more people would satisfied.
A Universe-Hopping Good TimeThe other reviewers are correct that the ending falls short, but the journey is worth it. I found it fascinating, fun, angsty, and gorgeously animated. You can clearly see how the heroine establishes a connection with each guy as she goes along, and it never feels forced, just a glimpse of another way her life could go. Personally, I didn't need familiarity with the game to get the premise. As a ...Read more
0 out of 2 people found this review helpful:nice animation but THAT ENDINGThe anime kept me interested for the three days i watched it, i came across the summary which really drew me in but....eh. The animation was hands down AMAZING! The characters looked good...but terrible at going deeper into them. Like WHY did.ikki's eyes cause girls to fall for him?? Huh?! Which reminds me of how horrible the main character was always saying umm...she said that way too much to the ...Read more
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Good premise, but as usual drops the ball near the end.Even when the norm for an anime series was 26 episodes, writers had a hard time finishing up their series and tying up all their loose ends in a timely manner. It's as though someone came into the room after Episode 24 and told them, 'Hey guys, you DO know you only have two episodes left, right?' Sadly, now that the 12-13 episode format has become the dominant way of producing an anime series, ...Read more

Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi, who has been conferred the title of being a 'serial kisser', turned 34 years on Sunday.
Before starting his career as an actor, Hashmi worked with Vishesh Films as an assistant director on Vikram Bhatt´s ´Raaz´ (2002).
In 2003, he made his acting debut with Bhatt´s ´Footpath´ and followed it with the commercially successful romantic thriller ´Murder´ (2004).
Hashmi has delivered several commercially successful films including ´Gangster´, Kalyug´, ´Zeher´; but critics has often labelled him as a "one note actor" while criticizing for his repetitive roles.
Hashmi eventually garnered wide critical acclaim for his performances in ´Once Upon a Time in Mumbai´ (2010), ´The Dirty Picture´ (2011) and ´Shanghai´ (2012).
The actor is considered as one of the most popular celebrities in India with his charming on-screen presence.
He married his long-time girlfriend Parveen Shahani in 2008 and became father to a son, Ayaan Hashmi, in 2010.
The actor presently has two big projects coming up including, Ekta Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj´s joint venture ´Ek thi Daayan´, scheduled to release in April and UTV Productions´ ´Ghanchakkar´, which will release in July.

Get the right stuff, always carry shades and fly with the sun
Imagine climbing into the cockpit of an airplane the weight of a medium-sized car and the wingspan of an Airbus 340. And then imagine taking off without a drop of fuel on board. Sam Shepard can, unless my eyes deceive me. They do indeed deceive (sadly) but Andre Borschberg is a dead ringer for the star of The Right Stuff, that famous movie about test pilots pushing back the limits of the impossible. Andre is also a test pilot and also pushing hard against those limits flying Solar Impulse, the first experimental solar-powered plane. I was there to watch Andre bring it into Rabat, Morocco on its first intercontinental flight from Switzerland recently.
