Unless we do something radically different to create jobs, we're performing the same result-less task repeatedly expecting a different result.
Unfortunately, most jobs programs that have focused on infrastructure have bypassed the young African-American male. Since these job creation programs tend to focus on union jobs, where we're woefully under-utilized, we'll never get the big bang for the buck that this country received when Depression-era programs were created to build and repair bridges, parks, dams and other things.
If we continue to invest in maintaining the status quo, the unemployed will continue to fester in our cities and the gap between black and white incomes will continue to widen. Protecting "the people" from economic calamity is the ultimate Civil Defense.

Radio 2 co-presenter (with Steve Wright) and author Janey Lee Grace attended the EFT Level 1 workshop in February and was amazed. As she writes in her blog "EFT is powerful, I left the one day course feeling totally inspired and motivated with a whole host of skills and tools to use in everyday life". At this same workshop, she had worked with a lady who hated eating and had never eaten at the table with others. This cleared within 30 minutes. A month later she said she hadn't stopped eating and was able to eat with others now. She also said an OCD-style obsession with germs had also strangely disappeared!
At a workshop in March 2010 Peter was doing a trauma release demo on one lady. As the trauma lifted she suddenly said "My back pain's gone"! She explained that she had had 18 years of back pain and needed a painkiller every day. A week later she told me she hadn't needed a painkiller since, and the pain was still gone. Another participant at this workshop said 12 years of back and neck stiffness had disappeared (and remained gone three months later).
EFT can be integrated into any niche area of interest. Tamara's interest in the field of birth and pregnancy resulted in the offering of the UK's first EFT training for Birth Professionals, where the participants experienced their new skills helping pregnant women release fears and past traumas. "It was truly empowering to be able to help so deeply", remarked one Hertford

If you really want a natural birth, it might be time to hit the gym.
Strength training is safe and one of the best ways to minimize aches and pains. Weight machines are ideal, especially for gym newbies, because they control your range of motion. "During pregnancy, your joints get looser, and it's easy to move outside of your normal range," says Jeffreys. However, if you're accustomed to doing free-weight exercises, you can continue.
An hour of cardio usually flies by for me at the gym, thanks to my secret motivational strategy: watching "Law & Order" reruns on the club's TV. I hop on the elliptical machine as the opening credits roll, and before I know it, Sam Waterston is finishing his closing argument to the jury. At least, that was the case before I got pregnant.
Whether you're an experienced marathoner or a newbie who only runs to catch the bus, running could be just the thing to keep you happy and healthy these nine months—if you do it right. "Being active while pregnant helps you stay feeling great and benefits your baby," says Chris Heuisler, a veteran marathoner, running coach and the National Run Concierge for Westin Hotels (and a dad of two!). "But you have to listen to your body, because it will begin to dictate how much you can and can't work out." Here's what you need to know to stay safe and healthy on the road:
Yeah, yeah, it's easy for taut fitness pros to tell you to work out during your pregnancy—what with their lack of swollen feet or heartburn. We chased down realistic advice from trainers who've been there.
You know that pregnancy affects your balance. Here's how to condition your body to stay upright, according to yoga teacher Natasha Hennessy.
It happened four months into Jolynn Baca Jaekel's pregnancy. A slight stumble on an uneven sidewalk, and bam: She went down. "Out of panic, I twisted to avoid falling forward and hurting the baby, and landed on my back," Jaekel of Arlington, Va., says. "I was so shaken up, I started to cry."
Changes in your feet can make you more susceptible to ankle rolls and falls, says Louis Galli, D.P.M., a foot and ankle surgeon in New York City. These kicks have you covered.
Nearly any safe exercise for pregnancy will help with your stability—just be sure to keep at least one foot on the ground (no box jumps!) and slow down a little in dance cardio classes with complicated footwork. That said, these practices may give you more balance bang for your buck.
Related: 5 Ways Pregnancy Affects Your Balance
Exercise duing pregnancy can keep weight gain in check, reduce your risk of gestational diabetes, decrease discomfort, and set you up for an easier labor and delivery. Now, new research shows that breaking a sweat, especially after 29 weeks, has a big benefit for your baby, too.
Hiking is a great way to improve your strength and cardiovascular health during pregnancy. Plus, it works wonders on your mood (look at that view!). Just ask Stacy Keibler, our June/July cover star, who told us that exploring the great outdoors is one of her favorite workouts!
But when you're doing it for two, hiking does take some special considerations. So before you hit the trails, check out these tips for a better, safer hike.

Building a 1981 Yamaha YZ465 Factory Replica...
View Single Post
Suffer Fools; Gladly!
Joined: Aug 2004
Location: Somewhere North of Dover, AR
Oddometer: 498
Excuse me while I jump in here.
Hey Kevin,
I finally got around to timing my 465G. On the bike's maiden voyage, the motor ran fine down low but once in the midrange or higher it rattled and clanked something awful. It also, required 20+ kicks to get fired up hot or cold. So I really didn't know if I had a jetting, timing or a possible vacuum leak problem. For those of you not familiar with timing this beast, it's a bit different than most other bikes. Most bikes of that era had the timing set statically. Wouldn't you know it; starting with the 465's, Yamaha specifies that the timing be set dynamically (engine running, using a timing light and tachometer). Yamaha recommends 16 degrees BTDC at 2000 rpm.
This requires using a 12V battery to power the timing light. The Yamaha timing marks are not like the big "T" and "F" found on the flywheel of Hondas. The marks are relatively small and likely covered with a little grime. Also, there are three areas where you will need to locate timing marks; the flywheel, the crankcase and the stator plate. I marked the flywheel and crankcase timing marks in red color so they would show up better. Big thanks to Kevin for his assistance in the location of the procedure of this whole mess.
First, I set the static timing at factory specs (2.0mm BTDC) using a dial indicator. This required the partial removal of the engine as the frame interfered with my dial indictor.
Of course you get to pull the flywheel each time you need to make an adjustment too. I had removed the stator plate for cleaning so I can't tell you what the original timing was set at but I believe it was too far retarded, which is as bad as having the timing too far advanced. Guess what? The bike started great, like 4th kick after sitting for a month.
Then, with the engine runnng, I checked for any seal/gasket leaks by spraying WD40 around the ignition side crank seal, base gasket, carb intake and reed gasket areas. A spray bottle of water works well here too. I didn't get any indication of a leak. Then I put the timing light on and had a look at the marks (kinda takes a knack the first time or two doing this); hmmm, not far off. I shut the bike down and restarted while it was hot and it started in three kicks. Adjusted the idle and the air screw and ended up advancing the timing just a wee bit more. Then I took the 465 out for a ride on a long steep uphill gravel road. Power was smooth on the bottom then started coming on hard at about 1/3 of the way through the RPM range. I'm using a 3.5 slide in the carburetor that probably helps smooth the low-end power. Found a flat hard packed section and the front and came up easily in fourth gear (I didn't try fifth). The engine noise that I experienced on a MX track at Diamond Don's was gone. Plug was tan/brown. This is one of the cleanest running big bores I've ever seen. I'm running Maxima Castor 927 at 40:1; back in the day Yamaha recommended 20:1. So I think I'm in the ballpark. There will be more adjusting & fine-tuning needed. For one thing I'm not happy about it's cold starting, as it seems to be a bit of a moving target. This could be my technique or a mechanical issue, for one I probably will bump my PJ from a 40 to a 45 but until I can get it out on a track for a more extended eval, I'm calling it good.
Suffer Fools; Gladly!

Sony finds defect in Cyber-shot digital cameras
First it was the company's laptop batteries that ended in recalling almost 10 million units, now it looks like Sony has been hit with a dodgy batch digital cameras.
Sony has announced that its Cyber-shot compact digital cameras might not work in warm and humid areas and that it would repair any affected cameras free of charge.
The cameras affected are DSC-F88, DSC-M1, DSC-T1, DSC-T11, DSC-T3, DSC-T33, DSC-U40 and DSC-U50 models.
In a statement from Sony, the LCDs in the eight models above may not show images correctly or the cameras may not be able to take photos at all.
Out of the 1 million cameras sold between September 2003 to January 2005, Sony expects just 4000 could need repairs.

Magic Johnson and Larry Bird are personably depicted in a new bio-play
Frankly, I know zip about basketball but -- since I know everything about the theater -- I am here to tell you that "Magic/Bird" sure looks like a winner on Broadway.
Opening on Wednesday at the Longacre Theater, "Magic/Bird" tells very well an engrossing story about the rivalry and eventual friendship between basketball Hall of Famers Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.
Playwright Eric Simonson, who did so ably by a football legend with "Lombardi," now gives sports- and theater-loving customers alike an enjoyable mix of strong story, smart writing and real-life video that zooms by in 100 minutes. Director Thomas Kail's staging provides plenty of punch, complete with fine acting and sharp visuals.
Essentially, "Magic/Bird" studies two competitive greats who hate/admire each other over the years they led their respective teams to triumph through the 1980s. Simonson depicts their careers in quick, parallel scenes that reveal the men's contrasting natures. Johnson is seen in both his easygoing persona as Earvin and as his flashy Magic self. Bird is presented as a close-mouthed, slow-talking gentleman.
Both men are shown to be passionately devoted to their profession.
The brisk series of scenes culminates in a longer, relaxed sequence when the two legends, unhappily shooting a commercial for sneakers in Bird's home town, finally become friends.
This warm and funny passage is characteristic of the entire play, which smoothly melds abundant humor, human details and basketball lore to chronicle an unlikely real-life bromance.
An underlying theme about these men bridging the racial divide is quietly effective, as are the parts relating to Johnson's HIV condition. Let's also mention that the script surprisingly contains no foul language, so it's a suitable show for younger viewers.
Stylishly staging the action on the glossy deck of a basketball court, Kail paces the play confidently and swiftly. Two tall and talented young actors, Kevin Daniels and Tug Coker, make the personable most of their respective characters as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. They also look mighty authentic in their moves as athletes
