Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
9:6-15 Money bestowed in charity, may to the carnal mind seem thrown away, but when given from proper principles, it is seed sown, from which a valuable increase may be expected. It should be given carefully. Works of charity, like other good works, should be done with thought and design. Due thought, as to our circumstances, and those we are about to relieve, will direct our gifts for charitable uses. Help should be given freely, be it more or less; not grudgingly, but cheerfully. While some scatter, and yet increase; others withhold more than is meet, and it tends to poverty. If we had more faith and love, we should waste less on ourselves, and sow more in hope of a plentiful increase. Can a man lose by doing that with which God is pleased? He is able to make all grace abound towards us, and to abound in us; to give a large increase of spiritual and of temporal good things. He can make us to have enough in all things; and to be content with what we have. God gives not only enough for ourselves, but that also wherewith we may supply the wants of others, and this should be as seed to be sown. We must show the reality of our subjection to the gospel, by works of charity. This will be for the credit of our profession, and to the praise and glory of God. Let us endeavour to copy the example of Christ, being unwearied in doing good, and deeming it more blessed to give than to receive. Blessed be God for the unspeakable gift of his grace, whereby he enables and inclines some of his people to bestow upon others, and others to be grateful for it; and blessed be his glorious name to all eternity, for Jesus Christ, that inestimable gift of his love, through whom this and every other good thing, pertaining to life and godliness, are freely given unto us, beyond all expression, measure, or bounds.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 11. - To all bountifulness; rather, to all simplicity, or "singleness of heart" (2 Corinthians 8:2). Through us. We are the agents in collecting and distributing your gifts (2 Corinthians 8:19, 20). Thanksgiving to God. From the recipients of your single-hearted generosity.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Being enriched in everything to all bountifulness,.... These words may be connected with 2 Corinthians 9:8 being included in a parenthesis; and the sense is, that God was not only able to give them a sufficiency, and would give them a sufficiency of temporal things, as food and raiment to their satisfaction, and contentment for themselves, but a fulness, an exuberancy, an overplus also; not for luxury and intemperance, but that having such an affluence in all the good things of life, they might at all times, and upon every occasion, exercise a bountiful disposition in relieving the poor:
which causeth through us thanksgiving to God; not their riches and fulness, but their liberal distribution of them to the poor saints, to which they were stirred up by the apostles; who were thankful to God who had so well succeeded their exhortations and advice, and which was the cause of thanksgivings in others: and since therefore such beneficence tended to the glory of God, as giving of thanks makes for his glory, this then ought to be attended to, and diligently performed; and so it furnishes out a new argument to this good work, which is enlarged upon in the following verses.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
11. Compare 2Co 9:8.
bountifulness—Greek, "single-minded liberality." Translated "simplicity," Ro 12:8.
causeth through us—literally, "worketh through us"; that is, through our instrumentality as the distributors.
thanksgiving—on the part of the recipients.
2 Corinthians 9:11 Additional Commentaries
God Loves a Cheerful Giver
…10Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; 11you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God. 12For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing through many thanksgivings to God.…

WASHINGTON, May 26, 2006 The United States and Great Britain are increasing the scope and breadth of their intelligence and military cooperation, President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced in a joint statement issued by the White House today.
"The two leaders are pleased to announce that the United States and United Kingdom recently signed an agreement that allows appropriately cleared British and U.S. personnel to use the same computer network to access military and intelligence information and other planning tools to support joint military operations in the defense of freedom," the statement said.
Another agreement announced in the statement holds that the United Kingdom will have the ability to operate, upgrade, employ and maintain the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter "such that the U.K. retains operational sovereignty over the aircraft," and that both governments agree to protect sensitive JSF program technologies. "Together, we are working out the details," the statement said, "while remaining committed to these principles."
The F-35 program represents the U.S. Defense Department's effort for affordable next-generation strike aircraft weapon systems for the Navy, Air Force, Marines and U.S. allies. Along with the United States and the United Kingdom, seven other nations are partners in the F-35's system development and demonstration phase: Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, Canada, Denmark, Norway and Australia. Israel and Singapore have agreed to join the program as security cooperation participants.
Bush and Blair "have a shared view that we need to continue to strengthen and deepen the relationship between our defense establishments to achieve fully interoperable forces and to leverage the respective strengths of U.S. and U.K. industries," today's joint statement said.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- LSU got lucky, and Nick Saban knew it.
"We've got a lot of work to do as a team," the Tigers' coach
said. "I think everyone knows that."
Oregon State's Alexis Serna missed three extra points Saturday
night, including one that would have forced a second overtime, and
(No. 3 ESPN/USA Today, No. 4 AP) LSU escaped with a 22-21 victory over the Beavers in the
season opener.
"It was a crazy finish," LSU defensive end Marcus Spears said.
"We fought as long as we could fight, and fortunately he missed
that extra point. I'd like to think that we had something to do
with that. We got a lot of pressure up the middle and I guess he
took his eye off it."
The defending BCS champion Tigers trailed throughout the game,
were shut out in the first half and behind 15-7 with 1:38 left.
The Tigers seemed sure to lose when they drove to the Oregon
State 2 and failed to score with 3:39 left. But their defense gave
them another shot.
LSU got the ball back for their final possession of regulation
with 1:38 left. After JaMarcus Russell threw two incompletions, he
hooked up with Dwayne Bowe for a 26-yarder then a 38-yard touchdown
to cut Oregon State's lead to 15-13 with 1:05 left.
"I told the QB to trust me," Bowe said. "I said I'm not even
going to run the route you call, I'm just going to get open. I was
able to do that and in two plays I scored."
On the conversion, Russell ran to the left, stretched out the
football and leaped into the end zone for two points to tie it at
15 and force overtime.
Oregon State won the toss but deferred in overtime. LSU scored
on its first possession. Marcus Randall, who started the game at
quarterback, came in when Russell was injured, and ran for a 5-yard
touchdown, giving LSU it's first lead of the game, 22-15 with the
extra point.
The Beavers weren't done.
Derek Anderson found Joe Newton with a 19-yard scoring pass,
pulling the Beavers to 22-21.
Serna, a redshirt freshman who kicked a 40-yard field goal in
the second quarter, sent the extra point wide right, giving LSU the
"I told him there is not a lot you can say," Oregon State
coach Mike Riley said. "It feels bad."
Riley said he tried to call a timeout before the PAT try to
consider whether to kick or try for a two-point conversion, but was
unable to get the officials attention.
"I just wanted to think about it," Riley said. "I didn't have
my mind made up. But we had one timeout in the overtime period, so
I was going to use it."
A heavy storm moved over the stadium just before kickoff.
Officials sent the players back to the locker rooms because of
lightning in the area. Kickoff was delayed almost an hour and the
field was sloppy when play began.
LSU's offense was sloppy throughout. The Tigers showed no signs
of the methodical offense that helped them win a championship last
Randall, who replaced Matt Mauck at quarterback, got off to a
rough start. His first pass was intercepted and he completed only 7
of 18 for 66 yards. He was replaced at the start of the second half
by Russell, who was 9-for-26 for 145 yards and threw two
The Tigers generated only 93 yards, 39 passing and four first
downs in the first half.
"The first half we came out sluggish," Randall said. "Coach
told us to keep playing hard. We just had a lot of mental errors."
Oregon State got an early break, recovering a fumble on the
opening kickoff to set up on the LSU 25. They followed that with
three straight penalties that gave them first-and-35 on the 50.
Anderson completed 5 of 6 passes, including a 6-yard touchdown
toss to George Gillett, to put the Beavers up 6-0 after Serna's
first missed PAT.
Serna's 40-yard field goal gave the Beavers a 9-0 lead at
LSU had a 57-yard touchdown reception by Bowe called back by a
penalty and Chris Jackson's 41-yard field goal attempt fell well
short in the first quarter.
Jackson attempted a 42-yarder in the second quarter that went
wide right.
Anderson, who passed for 4,058 yards with 24 touchdowns and 24
interceptions in 2003, was 26-for-47 for 231 yards and three
touchdowns. He had one interception and was sacked four times.
"This really hurt," Anderson said. "I'm not going to lie. We
went out there and fought. I love my team and appreciate everything
we did. We tried hard out there and just came up a little short."
Russell looked as if he would have no more success in his first
two series than Randall had, going 0-for-4 passing and fumbling a
snap. But on his third series things clicked.
Alley Broussard had a 15 yard run and Russell completed 5-of-7,
including a 16-yarder for a touchdown to Skyler Green that cut
Oregon State's lead to 9-7.
The Beavers came back quickly, driving 65 yards with Anderson
hitting Anthony Wheat-Brown for a 4-yard touchdown to make it 15-7
-- Serna missed the PAT -- when the third quarter ended.

Notice of Joint Public Hearing (January 23, 2013) on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement and the Land Use Review Application before City of New York City Planning Commission in connection with the Pier 57 Redevelopment Project in Hudson River Park 12.21.12
Video of January 23, 2013 Pier 57 Public Hearing
Transcript of January 23, 2013 Pier 57 Public Hearing
The Hudson River Park Trust is in the midst of a required environmental review process for a proposed project at Pier 57 within Hudson River Park.
Pier 57 is a historic pier located at approximately 15th Street and the Hudson River. The applicant—Young Woo & Associates, through the entity Hudson Eagle LLC ("Hudson Eagle")—proposes to redevelop the Pier 57 site with retail, restaurant, and other commercial uses; a marina; and educational and cultural and public open spaces uses. Integral to the proposed project is the repair and rehabilitation of Pier 57's historic pier structure, including its caissons.
In order to develop the proposed project, discretionary actions would be required from the Hudson River Park Trust (HRPT), the New York City Planning Commission (CPC), and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), and possibly other agencies, including the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). Thus, the proposed Pier 57 project is subject to environmental review under the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) regulations and guidelines. HRPT is the lead agency for this proposal. In addition, the project will be subject to review under the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP). Federal approvals would be necessary for permits for in-water work and would be subject to environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act.
In accordance with the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), a Draft Scope of Work ("Draft Scope") was prepared and distributed for public review. A public scoping meeting was held on July 14, 2011 at the Chelsea Market Events Space, 75 Ninth Avenue, New York, NY 10011. Written comments were accepted through the public comment period, which ended July 29, 2011. On October 10, 2012, HRPT posted the Final Scope of Work for the Pier 57 Redevelopment Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). This Final Scope has been prepared to describe the proposed project, present the proposed framework for the EIS analysis, and discuss the procedures to be followed in the preparation of the DEIS.
In January 2012, the city released an updated CEQR Technical Manual. The Final Scope incorporates changes to impact assessment methodologies since the Draft Scope was issued, as well as any revisions made in response to the comments on the Draft Scope. The Final Scope shows revisions that have been incorporated since the Draft Scope; revisions are indicated by double-underlining new text and striking deleted text. We have also posted a clean copy of the Final Scope of Work for review.
On October 25, 2012, HRPT issued a Notice of Completion and a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the project. The Notice of Completion and DEIS are both posted here. As further described in the Notice of Completion, a CD of the entire DEIS and/or a paper copy of the executive summary of the DEIS are available at no charge upon request. A Public Hearing on the DEIS pursuant to SEQRA was held on January 23, 2013. Please refer to the Notice of Joint Public Hearing for more information.
Comments on the DEIS were accepted orally and in writing at the Public Hearing, and were submitted in writing directly to the Lead Agency (HRPT) until 5pm on February 4, 2013. Written comments were submitted by e-mail and postal mail. Written comments, whether received at the Public Hearing or submitted directly to the Lead Agency, were afforded the same weight as oral testimony, and those who wished to submit lengthy or complex testimony were urged to do so in writing.
On February 22, 2013, HRPT issued a Notice of Completion and the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the project. The Notice of Completion and FEIS are both posted here. As further described in the Notice of Completion, a CD of the entire FEIS and/or a paper copy of the executive summary of the FEIS are available at no charge upon request.

Today we welcome author HelenKay Dimon. She writes Romantic Suspense stories filled with hunky heroes and awesome heroines. She's here to tell us a bit about her latest book, Copy That, and she's also offering a copy to one lucky commenter. So stick around!
Thank you for letting me be here today and talk about my newest release, COPY THAT.
This book starts off with a bang – literally. The poor heroine, Meredith Samms, comes downstairs to visit her usually out-of-town neighbor, Garrett Hill, and is attacked. She gets out of the house with the help of the man she thinks is Garrett only to find out the house is about to blow up and her rescuer is not Garrett. He's Garrett's twin, Jeremy. How's that for a hard start to the day?
Unfortunately for Meredith, things don't get better from there. She has to deal with being chased, shot at (repeatedly), confusion over the Jeremy/Garrett issue, ferretting out the mistaken identity and who-does-the-bad-guy-really-want questions…and then there's the part where she falls for Jeremy.
Basically, the goal of the book is nonstop action. I love that in movies and love writing it in romantic suspense. You know the feeling, right? It's when you're reading and your heart races a bit and you're flipping the pages and wincing when the hero and heroines run into trouble. To me, that's the best kind of romantic suspense. Sure, the poor hero and heroine need some time to get to know each other and, well, get to know each other, but to do that in the shadow of tension and danger, and with the bullets flying, is a pure fun.
Let me clarify: it's great in books. In real life I'll take calm and safe and danger-free romance. If a bad guy comes at me, I'm hiding in the closet. If something explodes, I'm calling the fire department. And if someone chases me? Well, you'll probably hear me screaming from wherever you are.
About the HelenKay:
HelenKay Dimon is an award-winning author of more than a dozen novels and novellas. Her first single title, Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy, was excerpted in Cosmopolitan magazine in August '07 and spotlighted at E! Online.

Connect with HelenKay:
Returning from his latest Border Patrol assignment, Jeremy Hill seeks sanctuary in his twin brother's home. The last thing he expects to find is an armed man already inside, or Meredith Samms, a gorgeous tenant caught in the cross fire. Then he discovers that the gunman's attack is meant for his twin brother, who is nowhere in sight, and Jeremy must take matters into his own hands. Searching for his brother while trying to protect this girl next door, Jeremy finds himself caught up in the danger he'd become all too familiar with. In his world, everyone's a target and anyone can be a suspect, so Jeremy has no room for emotions. But what Meredith stirs within him may complicate this unexpected mission to the point of no return….

Chapter 1 is a gentle introduction to the world of rich internet applications: a look at how the web moved from static pages to fully functioning applications, and how Java lost out to Flash in the battle of the applets. As well as comparing JavaFX to its main commercial rivals, the chapter shows a couple of brief JFX code examples, including a comparison with Java/Swing.
Chapter 2 is the first part of the JavaFX Script language tutorial. It focuses on variables and data manipulation, including: basic data types, arithmetic, strings, durations, sequences, and binds. Full examples are given of all the related syntax varients, with notes explaining their purpose, mechanics, and limitations.
Chapter 3 concludes the JavaFX Script language tutorial, by building on the knowledge of variables and data from the previous chapter. This chapter explores common code constructs. Topics covered include: classes, objects, functions, mixin inheritance, access modifiers, conditions and loops.
Chapter 4 is the first project chapter. The main purpose of this chapter is to experiment with the JavaFX Script language — specifically binds and triggers. The project is a simple Sudoku game, using Swing, carefully designed to showcase the most powerful (and unusual) features of JavaFX Script.
The code demonstrates how JFX can make developing Model/View/Controller applications much much easier. For experienced Java/Swing programmers this chapter should be a real eye opener.
The bonus project shows how to auto-validate a form, using binds.
Chapter 5 begins the exploration of the JavaFX scene graph. The project builds on the JavaFX Script skills of the previous chapter, by coding some basic shape manipulation classes, within the framework of a light show application.
The bonus project shows a home-made hypertext link, using text nodes.
Chapter 6 continues the adventures in scene-graph-land. Building on the previous chapter, it looks at how to create complex scenes, that respond to mouse events. Specifically, it shows how to create an animated image button, and an iPhone-style draggable list. It also examines video playback, and node effects (like reflections).
The bonus project shows how to embed custom fonts into a JavaFX application.
Chapter 7 is aimed squarely at business application developers. The project is a simple feedback form, that stores its results, and displays charts and graphs based upon statistics derived from the data. It showcases some of the standard built-in controls that ship with JavaFX 1.2, including buttons, sliders, and radio buttons. It also looks at persistent storage, across multiple devices (including applets and phones). And finally, it studies in detail how to construct a 3D bar graph and pie chart.
The bonus project shows how to write your own skinnable JFX control, and style it using CSS.
Chapter 8 continues the practical theme, this time with a project tied to Flickr's web service. The project starts by developing classes to make a web service call, and parse the reply. These classes are then used to create an image viewer application: Flickr photos are thrown onto a full screen desktop, where they can be picked up and moved around. The code demonstrates several types of off-the-shelf animations, as well as sophisticated interaction with the scene graph.
A bonus section gives some invaluable background detail on the different geometries that can apply to a scene graph node as it is rendered on screen.
Chapter 9 is a bit of fun. The project builds a working Enigma machine, of the type used in World War II to encrypt and decrypt top secret messages. As well as demonstrating some serious data manipulation in JavaFX Script, the project also explains the programmer/designer workflow. The graphical elements on the Enigma interface are constructed in Inkscape, and saved as SVG files, then imported into the Enigma application where they are manipulated directly.
In the final part of the project the Engima application becomes an applet, capable of being ripped from the web page, onto the desktop (complete with modified JNLP file, to provide a custom desktop icon).
The bonus project brings an Inkscape drawing alive, turning it into a working user interface by using carefully labelled IDs.
Chapter 10 has two goals: it pushes the reader's scene graph skills to the max, and it shows how to package applications up for use on a cell phone. The project is a 3D maze game, an early prototype of which can be viewed here.
The bonus section looks at performance tricks and tips, to help keep your scene graphs nibble, and slick.
Chapter 11, the final project, looks at how to use JavaFX from within a Java application. The project is a simple isometric adventure game that uses JavaFX Script code for its in-game events, and to build part of its Swing user interface.

LEE COUNTY SCHOOLS: Bonardi explains lone vote against hiring of new supt.
The vote to hire Andy Bryan as the next superintendent of Lee County Schools was met with a standing ovation at the Lee County Board of Education at about 8:15 p.m. Tuesday night. The vote took less than a minute, came with no public discussion and — with a 6-1 vote — wasn't unanimous.
But after the meeting, Bryan said he wasn't worried that John Bonardi, the school board's vice chairman, voted against his selection. The next day, Bonardi said it wasn't a vote against Bryan — whom he said ought to be a good leader — but rather a vote against how he was chosen.
"I have the highest regard of the work Andy's done here," Bonardi said. "It was simply I couldn't support not making at least an effort to ensure that we get the very best available candidate for the position. You know, we hired a superintendent last night without ever soliciting applications, without doing interviews, without asking any questions. We basically just appointed Andy, and I was not comfortable with that process."
Bryan was a finalist in the nationwide search the board conducted about five years ago when Jeff Moss was hired, going through the application and interview process then. But Bonardi pointed out that the majority of current board members weren't on the board at that time. He said he wants to know what Bryan plans to keep the same, what he plans to change, how he plans to deal with budget cuts, and a host of other issues.
When The Herald asked Bryan similar questions Tuesday night, he didn't name specifics but rather said he will continue building on the progress made by current Supt. Moss, who will become superintendent of schools in Beaufort County, S.C., in July.
Board Chairman Dr. Lynn Smith said he had no problems with the selection. And barring any issues with Bryan's contract negotiations, he said he anticipates the hiring to be official within the next two weeks — which will give Moss several months to guide Bryan through the ins and outs of holding the district's top job.
"I think it makes perfect sense to hire from within," Smith said. "He's been here seven years, and he's been a central part of the progress we've made the last five years under Dr. Moss, and before. ... He has the overwhelming support of the community, the (Lee County) Education Foundation — and the number of teachers I've heard from personally is overwhelming."
But Bonardi, who had previously convinced the board to undertake a national search, said he wasn't happy the plans for a search were scrapped in favor of what happened Tuesday.
"The strange thing was that on two occasions, the board voted to do a search," he said. "But in closed session last night, it was very apparent that that was not going to happen."
No one can legally discuss what exactly was said in the closed session meeting about Bryan or the selection process, but Bonardi did say he wasn't happy.
"It caught me off guard," he said. "... I'm sure (Bryan) will be a very capable superintendent, but I feel like we didn't do our job. Our only responsibility for hiring is the superintendent, and I don't think we gave it enough due process or gave it our due diligence."

Barhite: Talking helps cope with a stillbirthWritten by Brandi Barhite | Community Ombudsman | firstname.lastname@example.com
A very pregnant Casey Gravelle woke up April 17, 2012, and didn't remember feeling her baby moving the day before.
But she has three kids and one was getting ready for a ballet recital.
There were a lot of things going on. Perhaps she missed a kick.
"Who wants to think that something bad is going on, especially when you already had three healthy children?" my friend said.
She tried laying down to see if she could get him to move. She thought she felt something, but wasn't sure. She ate something. Again, she thought she felt movement.
Casey hurried to get an appointment for that afternoon. The nurse kept trying to find his heartbeat. She couldn't find it. She and her husband, Emil, were moved to an exam room to try with the fetal Doppler. Still no heartbeat.
They were sent to a hospital for an ultrasound. Nothing.
When she delivered Henry Lyle Gravelle on April 19, it appeared he had outgrown the placenta, which led to a series of problems. An autopsy would confirm that. He was otherwise a perfectly healthy boy at 35 weeks old.
Casey said everyone copes with a stillbirth differently.
"One of the best things was having caregivers who cared. Other mothers who experienced this didn't have as good as care as we did."
At first, Casey focused on doing everything she could for Henry's funeral. She made him a quilt, just as she had for her other babies. She and her husband bought him an outfit.
"We were trying to save money, but I was like, 'This is the only outfit we are going to buy him.'"
Casey kept herself busy. She poured herself into her daughter's recital. Then she focused on Henry's funeral. Some comments did not help.
"Do not tell me that God can only give us what we can handle. That is the stupidest saying ever!" Casey said.
She also heard: "Maybe it is for the best." Some people also told her: "At least you have other kids."
Casey struggled when friends who were pregnant at the same time gave birth, especially if they delivered boys. Fellow moms wanted play dates, but she wasn't sure she wanted to be around other babies. She was thankful they understood and did not pressure her. She loved when people wanted to talk about Henry.
"A lot of us like to talk about our angel children. If you want more than 'OK,' let us know that you are comfortable talking about our babies."
She also appreciated when people called Henry by his name. It acknowledged his existence. Casey said it is important that couples talk as well.
"Communication between the two of you is incredibly important. You need to tell the other person what you need from them. Dads don't want to talk about it because they don't want to upset moms. I am not the only one who lost a child. The dad lost a child, too."
When the Gravelles welcomed another child this past April, the couple wanted to make sure people knew the girl, Ellenah, wasn't replacing Henry.
"There is a hole in this family where that person is not with us. He is still part of our family. It is not like a toy that you go and replace," Casey said.
Casey said one of the hardest parts of coping with a stillbirth is that people avoid the subject.
"Nobody wants to talk about it. You are talking about loss during a time of hope. You are losing a child; you are losing everything you had hoped for the child. No one wants to talk about that."

USA.gov Corporate Consumer Contact API
Usa.gov Corporate Consumer Contact API allows users to access corporate information. The US government updates data often and the information is reviewed annually. With this API in REST format, developers could access and use data related to corporations that directly affects consumers. For example, in the consumer action handbook, users can read about how to be a savvy consumer, how to file a complaint, how to access key information resources, and to find consumer assistance. The sections help consumers to make smart decisions, that is why is important to use the API effectively. JSON, XML and JSONP formats are available, but the site only shows JSON responses. Developers can access an interactive documentation for the API, an API data model and API methods. Before application development, users should read terms of service.

The number of people out of work is on the decline, but still not where things were two years ago.
The latest numbers from the Texas Workforce Commission show 5.9% of the workforce lookng for work in the College Station-Bryan Metro area with some 7,000 people looking for a job.
That's a small improvement from a month earlier where the number of unemployed stood at 6.2% but a little worse from December of 09 when 5.7% of the workforce didn't have a job.
Those numbers put us at the fourth best unemploymente rate in the state.

If you are a fan of Lady Antebellum, then you already know that, unlike Lady Gaga, the band is not a single person but rather the trio of Charles Kelley, Dave Haywood and Hillary Scott. You also know that they are one of the hottest bands in country music and that Lady Antebellum concert tickets can be tough to find. In just a few short years, Lady A has already won the best new artist award from both the Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association, plus they brought home a boatload of Grammy Awards including Best Country Song and Best Country Album for "Need You Now." Their success is only more remarkable when you consider that Hillary Scott twice tried out for American Idol and twice didn't even make the first cut. Now they are one of the best-selling artists in the world, and you can see them live with Lady Antebellum tickets from GoTickets.
In addition to having a huge hit with "Need You Know," the band already has three other #1 hits – "I Run to You," "American Honey" and "Our Kind of Love." They are already working on a follow-up to their last album while at the same time conducting a Lady Antebellum concert tour. It was only a couple years ago that Lady A was opening for Martina McBride, and now they have sung the national anthem at a World Series game and are selling out arenas and stadiums all over the country. If you need a little help finding Lady Antebellum tickets, GoTickets is here to help.

The usage time of a battery depends on many different factors, including the operating temperature, the surrounding temperature, battery charging time, etc. Technically, this battery can cover at least 600 sq yards.

I did a quick search on the topic and found that there have been similar threads about 64-bit software, but with so many recent threads about building a new PC I've got to ask: Is it really worth it to get a 64-bit CPU?
In mid-2005 I bought the computer I'm currently using. If I recall correctly, this was before dual core processors were available or else they were prohibitively expensive. I decided to go with a 64-bit processor (AMD Athlon 64 3500+) for that "improved" performance.
Once all my computer parts arrived and the PC was built I very quickly found out that nothing had really been designed for 64-bit CPUs and I was actually an early-ish adopter! To me it felt like the CPU was wasted because though there was Windows XP 64-bit, there were virtually no drivers and no software designed for 64-bit architecture. I was forced to "downgrade" from XP64 to regular old XP just to get my hardware to work.
Now it's 2.5 years later and there's Vista 64-bit, with more drivers, but I still don't see much benefit of a 64-bit system other than the potential to use more than 4GB of RAM. And while the idea of >4GB of RAM is indeed a dreamy dream, I've got 2GB and I'm doing just fine with that.
To get back to the question: Is it worth it to get a 64-bit CPU or would you be better off looking for multicore processors? Or both? Is there really any actual, present, and noticeable benefit in using a 64-bit CPU?

The following is a guest post from Miss Haitch.
Miss Haitch is a bisexual teacher living in the UK with her female partner. She enjoys tabletop gaming, writing fantasy stories about people outside the straight/white/male demographic, and occasionally dressing up to enact fictional political machinations. Her first gaming loves were puzzle/adventure games and CRPGs, and she is currently in love with the Portal series.
"Why hasn't some lucky man scooped this bachelor off his feet?"
In the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 3, sex is serious business – so serious, in fact, that it's generally mentioned in the most euphemistic fashion possible, and you could get burned.
(I may be unreasonably bitter on that one. How was I to know that when I "rented a room" I would lie on a bed with a waitress and then get up again?)
Unlike the first two entries in the Fallout series, in which a PC could flirt with and marry same-sex partners, it's mostly straight as an arrow. Play a female character and you can have the "room rental" scene with the waitress, but there is no opportunity to flirt with the women of the wasteland. A perk gives access to damage bonuses against and special conversation options with the opposite sex, but there is no same-sex equivalent.
So you may imagine my delight when, trundling around the wasteland of New Vegas killing wolves and stealing beer bottles, I discovered a new perk: "Confirmed Bachelor".
Cue much speculation from my partner and me. Did that mean…? Well, the picture DID have a man looking deviously at another man in bed… But maybe the game makers just meant the damage bonus thing… Wait! There were gay conversation options! There were female gay conversation options! You could have gay AND straight conversation options!
That's right: in New Vegas you can choose to be gay or bisexual. And you get combat bonuses for doing so.
An everyday approach
Another fun fact: you're not alone. Two gay characters and a bisexual character can team up with you, and their sexualities are presented as … normal. Which is very rare and very important.
The title of this post is probably my favourite coming-out speech ever, and is a quote from Arcade Gannon, a joinable NPC. It's smoothly integrated into his background, it's funny, and it's normal, just like we are – and just like we are so rarely presented in computer games.
Veronica Santangelo's coming-out is a little less smooth, bound-up as it is in a random question from the PC about whether she has been in love, but she and Cass are both excellent examples of non-straight characters presented without fuss. They are as well-rounded, if not more, than the straight characters and their sexualities are not the only interesting thing about them. The characters are not straight, but not "other".
The wider world reflects this sense of ordinariness. Characters respond to your comments as a part of everyday life – which, of course, they are – and it is refreshing to see a positive or neutral response to non-straight sexuality rather than a threatening one.
We also see homophobia presented thoughtfully. My male PC flirts with an NCR soldier who says, ruefully, that he would have professional trouble if he had a public relationship with a man, but that if they ever meet out West where they're less bigoted, something could happen. What impressed me was the feeling that the writers had considered how this minor character's personal life could affect his professional life. Details and moments like this enhance the inclusivity of the game – and the worldbuilding as a whole.
As a side note, the "Confirmed Bachelor" perk gives the most conversation options of any of the sexuality perks. Which, for something that the majority of game manufacturers consider an optional extra if they consider it at all, is pretty cool.
It's not perfect, and there's still a way to go. While my partner's gay male PC sweet-talked his way across the wastes, my gay female PC had only a handful of opportunities to express her sexuality. A storyline attached to a lesbian soldier left me discomforted; mileage will vary, but I was disappointed at the writers' choice to go down that route.
Main character personalisation
I hold a lot of respect for New Vegas' approach to the PC's sexuality, in which the game specifically responds to the PC's expression of his or her sexual orientation. The PC's orientation is embedded in the text of the game, which makes everything feel more interactive and personalised to the PC's preferences.
To demonstrate, let's look at the following paraphrased chat with Zevran of Dragon Age: Origins:
Zevran: "My sexual history is varied. I … um, like banging dudes. Does that offend you?"
Grey Warden: "That's fine – I don't mind." Or: "Are you kidding?" Or: "Am I supposed to be offended?"
At no point can you say, as a man, "Oh, me too!" or as a woman, "Oh, thanks for the offer, but I like women." Or even, "Of course I don't have a problem with your bisexuality – I'm bisexual, too."
In Fallout: New Vegas during a conversation with Cass about the harsh life of the Mojave, she says: "I'm not one for soft living … or soft men, let me tell you. I'm guessing neither are you."
Depending on your perks, there are diverse conversation options available in which, variously, you can flirt with Cass, chat about her bisexuality, or snigger with her about erections. It all feels much more personalized and focused on the PC's orientation and characterisation. Also, erection jokes. Win-win!
Subverting the default
By implementing the perk system the way it does, the game sets up the default as asexuality rather than heterosexuality. If you like, you can play the entire game without so much as a lascivious look, rather than being subjected to sexual moments that make no sense for your character (I'm looking at you, Consort Sha'ira of Mass Effect 1).
Challenging the assumption that default = straight is powerful. And in the gaming community, where some people feel all too comfortable saying that including same-sex content "neglects the main demographic" of video games, it cannot be challenged enough.
Well played, Fallout: New Vegas.

I've been writing Cocoa tutorials for about five years. I started thinking about doing a book in the beginning of 2009, but it didn't seem like the world needed another big, dense reference that just sat on desks.
I described to my editor how I felt about this. I told him I didn't want to lecture. I wanted to speak directly to the person reading the book — as if I was in the room. That's how I'm used to writing, and that's what makes it fun for me.
But I didn't want to leave out important things, like how memory works in Objective-C. I didn't want it to be a demo of Cocoa, I wanted to write something that would actually, in reality, teach you how to be a productive Cocoa programmer.
My editor agreed and even encouraged me to be more direct and personal. The result is something I think you'll really like. This is a programming book that is written personally like a blog, but covers important Cocoa topics in detail.
I was very careful about which parts of Cocoa and Objective-C to talk about in the book. I don't bother with obscure academic trivia, but I do explain each of the number types and when best time is to use each one, or why you would want to make 64-bit Mac apps.
And while you're learning to use Cocoa for writing Mac apps, you're also learning about iPhone programming. Both share Objective-C, and the Foundation, Core Data, and Core Graphics frameworks.
If this sounds like something you'd like to read, please check out Cocoa and Objective-C: Up and Running. And please tell your friends about it.

We are Ray Wilson and Judy Kahle. On June 7, 2012 we were on our way for a vacation when we had an accident involving our truck, toy hauler
and trike. The front wheel of the trike was in our Condor and the back was strapped down with chop blocks under the back wheels. The truck and the trailer
turned over on its side, but the bike was still just as it was put in the trailer when it was righted. The truck and trailer were completely destroyed and later
we found out the bike frame was broken. We cannot say enough about this product as it certainly does what it is suppose to do and that is to keep
your bike where you put it. We have a new trike and have our Condor, which survived the crash, in our cargo trailer ready to use at a moments notice.
Just wanted you to know of our experience with your great product.
No question wanted to say thanks for keeping my rides safe. 3 trailer chocks and over 5k miles not one problem hauling my rides. I made a video for you showing 2 busa's and a GSXR750 traveling through the Dragons Tail in my enclosed trailer with your chocks. Thats 318 turns in 11 miles, not one problem. Unfortunately the camera wasn't as dependable as your chocks so it didn't turn out...

I first saw your Pit Stop at my International Motorcycle Show a couple of years ago. I thought it was awesome. So when I had to move to COlorado, I knew I needed a Pit Stop to haul my FJR-1300. It was just great, and worked like a charm. Thanks for making it."

While traveling in South Texas last January I was involved in a situation that could, or I should say would have been tragic, if not for your CONDOR Wheel Chock. I was pulling a small cargo trailer behind my fifth-wheel camper, when a vehicle pulled up alongside and motioned towards the back of my rig.
I stopped and went back and discovered the tongue had snapped and all I was pulling was a 3 foot section of the tongue. Making a long story short the trailer was about 2 miles back down the road. It didn't hit any other vehicles (we were on a 4 lane Hwy) and came to a rest on top of a guard rail. Inside the cargo trailer was a brand new Custom built chopper motorcycle. It was still intact in the CONDOR Wheel Chock, I could have kissed that Wheel Chock!!!
I trailered my custom Dyna Wide Glide out to Sturgis this summer. When I arrived and opened my trailer, I found my bike lying on its side, with a severely dented gas tank, a broken mirror and handgrip, and some other scratched chrome. I couldn't enter it in the bike show. I bought a Pit Stop at your booth in Rapid City. On the way home, I ran into a deer in Pennsylvania. The impact was hard enough to blow the airbag, and mangle the front end of my Suburban. I thought for sure the bike was a goner. But when I opened the trailer door, the Wide Glide was sitting there just as I'd left it. I'll never use anything but a CONDOR. Thanks,
We spoke at the NYC show:
"I purchased the Condor Trailer Stop device and have to say it's fantastic. It works exactly as promoted. It's solid, easy and makes storing or trailering your bike safe and easy. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to make their riding life easier! "
Just remember its so easy you'll forget to put the bike in neutral to roll it off!

13 June I need your help on this. I am leaving for 2 weeks on the 24th of June. If you can ship so that I receive the product before then it would be great. If not, it might be better to stall the shipping si it does not arrive while I'm away. Is that possible? Thanks Steve Dean 14 June Good morning Steve, We can ship your order out on Friday.If that ia a problem please let us know. Theresa 19 June I received the wheel chock today. That's fantastic service. Thank you so much for getting out quickly. In addition, I can't tell you how happy I am with this product. It works with absolute perfection on my H-D FLHTCUI. I'll certainly recommend your company and products to my biking friends. Thanks.

IBM is moving some of its manufacturing from Rochester to Mexico and New York. Full, part-time, and contract workers will be impacted.
An IBM spokesman tells KSTP sister station ABC 6 News, the manufacturer of the Power Systems, PureSystems and PureFlex Systems are being shifted to Guadalajara, Mexico.
The refurbishing of used machines is being moved to Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
Some manufacturing will stay in Rochester, including the prototyping of new products through the Customer Solution Center and the final assembly of Blue Gene supercomputers.
IBM says the moves are to maximize efficiency and stay competitive. The company would not say how many workers will be impacted.
The changes will start later this year and should conclude by mid-2014.

A silicone "grease" that's great for waterproofing coax connections, butt splices, and other sliding electrical connections.
Reviewed by 1 customer
Dielectric grease omits oxygen, water and salt, and is an excellent insulator. Perfect for trailer hitch connectors, switch panel contact lugs, in-line fuses, fuse panel fuses and screws and light bulb contacts. The grease DOES NOT REMOVE CORROSION, however, so use on all new and clean installations and any place where contacts are already good. On trailer hitch wiring reapply at least twice each year. IF you use this on everything I suggest looking for a larger tube on the web--at least 6-8 ounces. This product is only a fraction of an ounce.

More items for
Health & Safety
Coming soon to material safety sheets and product labels near you: symbols, standard designs, plain-spoken warnings, and other efforts to make all of that information actually understandable.
The changes are part of a long-awaited overhaul to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's 1983 Hazard Communication Standard.
Images: OSHA
The standard requires suppliers and importers of hazardous chemicals to disclose those hazards and their associated protective measures on product labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
OSHA's revisions to the standard, released Tuesday (March 20) as a final rule, standardizes labeling within the United States and aligns it with international guidelines.
Employers have until June 2016 to comply.
'The Right to Understand'
The new standard will classify chemicals according to their health and physical hazards, and establish consistent labels and MSDS for all chemicals made in the United States and imported from abroad.
The rule-making process began during the Bush administration, and the rules were initially proposed in 2009. OSHA recently announced that the final revisions were near.
A new video summarizes how the rule works.
Assistant Labor Secretary Dr. David Michaels said the new labels will be easier to understand and less confusing, especially for low-literacy workers. About 43 million U.S. workers come in contact with hazardous materials on the job.
"OSHA's 1983 Hazard Communication Standard gave workers the right to know," said Michaels. "As one participant expressed during our rulemaking process, this update will give them the right to understand as well."
Preventing Death and Injury
OSHA says the new labeling could prevent more than 40 deaths and about 500 workplace injuries and illnesses each year in the United States, increasing annual productivity by about $475.2 million.
"Now, if you're a worker in an industry where you are required to respond to a spill, or handle and mix an array of chemicals, all marked in different containers, combined in different mixtures, and subject to different environmental conditions, you won't be confused by different types and lengths of confusing informational materials," Michaels said.
"Instead of words, the new labels use easily recognizable pictograms that anyone can use, no matter what language they speak or what country they work in."
Officials also said the new system would save money and reduce trade barriers for U.S. companies.
"Not only will it save lives and limbs, but it will lead to increased efficiency on part of employers who produce and purchase chemicals," Michaels said. "And it will level the playing field for employers to compete abroad."
Patchwork Labeling Laws
The standard requires chemical manufacturers and importers to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import, and to disclose those hazards and their associated protective measures.
In addition, all employers who use hazardous chemicals in their workplaces are required to have a hazard communication program that includes container labeling, MSDS and employee training.
Other countries have similar laws, but each has its own scope and requirements, leading to a labeling patchwork for hazardous chemicals that are developed, produced, shipped and used globally. To remedy that, the United Nations adopted the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) in 2003.
The new OSHA standard conforms with GHS.
Mixed Reaction
The American Coatings Association, which represents U.S. paint manufacturers, had no immediate comment on the new rule.
Elizabeth Pullen, president of the American Industrial Hygiene Association, said the new labels would improve protection for workers, employers and chemical users.
Marc Freedman, executive director of labor law policy for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, told the Associated Press that businesses generally support the idea of revising label requirements.
In this case, however, Freedman said OSHA went too far by requiring labels to include hazard information about combustible dust, the AP reported.
"It's going to create a lot of confusion and uncertainty, which will undermine whatever other value this regulation provides to these companies," Freedman told the AP.
Michaels said that the agency had not changed its approach to combustible dust in 25 years, but that research and several catastrophic accidents had shown that many still did not understand how to handle it safely.
Until June 2016, chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors and employers may comply with either 29 Code of Federal Regulations 1910.1200 (the final standard), the current standard, or both.
More information for workers, employers and downstream users of hazardous chemicals can be reviewed at OSHA's Hazard Communication Safety and Health topics page, which includes links, guidance materials, an OSHA fact sheet and Quick Cards.
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (3/22/2012, 8:38 AM)
A more unified and consistent MSDS system will be useful. The current haphazard method can make it hard to find the information you're looking for.
Comment from James Johnson, (3/22/2012, 12:05 PM)
After over 10,000 new government job killing regulations were issued last year it looks like we are in for more of the same...one can only wonder if they ever considered the overall cost to industry to comply with this new regulation...Anyone care to guess at the cost to change millions and millions of MSDS pages? Probably at a cost of $100 to $200 each? I know...the Administration says regulation is good because it redistributes wealth. Too bad it is not their personal wealth as they seem to be the wealthiest.
Comment from Tim Race, (3/23/2012, 3:21 PM)
There goes JJ elevating my blood pressure again. JJ is fast and loose with the facts here - the Obama administration has written just over 10,000 new regs in its first three years. Drum roll please - the Bush administration issued just over 10,000 new regs during its first three years (a couple hundred more than under Obama). And who says all regulations are job killing? Certainly some are, while others are job neutral and some even result in a net increase in jobs. Also keep in mind that one persons (corporations) expense can be another persons benefit. That's why most regulations follow cost-benefit analyses. Regulations can and do alleviate societal costs. BTW most of those so called 10,000 new regulations reflect the day-to-day business of government - simple things like setting the cost of living adjustment.

Invention: Eyeball stiffener - Reproduced with kind permission of Jeremy Webb (Editor) New Scientist
* 16:39 21 October 2008
* NewScientistnews service
* Justin Mullins
The blinding disease keratoconus affects as many as one person in 435, striking between the ages of 10 and 20.
It involves a progressive thinning of the cornea which then bulges into a cone shape, causing severe visual impairment that can only sometimes be corrected with contact lenses.
But now David Paik and colleagues at Department of Ophthalmology at Columbia University, New York, say a solution containing sodium nitrite ions could provide a simple treatment.
Daily application causes collagen fibres in the cornea to bond together, creating a supporting scaffold within the outer layers of the eye. Once diagnosed and treated, the stiffer cornea would prevent the condition progressing, they say.
Eyeball stiffening has previously been shown to work by German researchers. But that method involves scraping the top layer of cells from the cornea before applying a solution that must be fixed using strong UV light.
Neither the scraping nor the UV light do the eye any good, preventing that approach from receiving FDA approval, says the Columbia team.
But the friendlier sodium nitrite solution is able to soak through to the collagen-rich layer and can be applied by patients at home, they say.
It could also be also used to stabilise the eyesight of patients with severe myopia, or short-sightedness, caused by other conditions in which the cornea changes shape, such as some types of glaucoma.
Title: METHOD OF STABILIZING HUMAN EYE TISSUE BY REACTION WITH NITRITE AND RELATED AGENTS SUCH AS NITRO COMPOUNDS
A method for stabilizing collagenous eye tissues by nitrite ion treatment. The topical stiffening agent contains sodium nitrite in a buffered balanced salt solution and can be applied to the surface of the eye on a daily basis for a prolonged period. The pH of the sodium nitrite solution can be lowered to speed the effect. Application of the solution results in progressive stabilization of the corneal and scleral tissues through non-enzymatic cross-linking of collagen fibers. The nitrite can penetrate into the corneal stroma without the need to remove the corneal epithelium. In addition, ultraviolet light is not needed to activate the cross-linking process. The resulting stabilization of corneal and scleral tissues can prevent future alterations in corneal curvature and has utility in diseases such as keratoconus, keratectasia, progressive myopia, and glaucoma.
