FAYETTEVILLE, N.C., April 15, 2004 Balloons, hand-painted "welcome home" signs, ear-to-ear smiles and a few tears greeted airmen and a small group of soldiers who returned here April 14 following deployments in Southwest Asia.
"It's great to have them back," said Lt. Gen. William Welser III, commander of 18th Air Force at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., who greeted the plane.
Welser credited the airmen with "doing a great job and making it happen" as they support the war on terror. He said he witnessed many of the newly arrived airmen at work in the region firsthand during his visit to Southwest Asia just a few weeks earlier.
"But it's much better to see them home with their families, and to see the big smiles on the kids' faces," he said.
Some family members who gathered inside a hangar at Pope Air Force Base here were welcoming a loved one home from combat for the first time. Among them was Sarah Barnes, who waited with 4-month-old Ian Michael to greet their husband and daddy, Air Force Capt. Jason Barnes.
Barnes, recently assigned to the 41st Airlift Squadron at Pope after an assignment at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska, had spent just two months in Southwest Asia, but expects to return for his next, longer deployment to the region in July. As excited as Sarah was about her husband's homecoming, she admitted that the fact that he would leave again so soon gave it a "bittersweet" note. "But for now," she said, "we're going to concentrate on getting this little one to know his daddy before he goes back again."
For many other family members in the group, including Air Force Staff Sgt. Julie Hewett from the 43rd Communications Squadron, today's homecoming was just one more in a seemingly never-ending cycle of deployments and redeployments.
Hewett said she and her husband, Air Force Tech Sgt. Mark Hewett, have both deployed frequently in support of the war on terror. "I figure that in the past seven months, we've probably seen each other about two weeks," she said. Her husband is expected to redeploy to Southwest Asia in July.
But that didn't dampen the enthusiasm of 3-year-old Davis, who, perched atop Hewett's shoulders, excitedly pointed to the charter plane as it approached the runway, then lumbered down the tarmac toward the waiting families. "That's my daddy! That's daddy's plane!" he squealed.
Maggie Klavik and her four children, too, have learned to deal with their husband's and father's frequently deployments to Southwest Asia. This one, three and a half months long, was Maj. Pete Klavik's third in less than two years with the 41st Airlift Squadron.
Maggie said shorter, more frequent deployments common in the Air Force as opposed to the longer deployments typical in the other services are a lot easier for the children left behind, particularly younger ones. "But it's harder for the parents," she said.
"It's a lot harder," agreed Susan Broughman, whose husband, Master Sgt. Brandon Broughman, was returning home from his third deployment with the 41st Airlift Squadron. "There's always a transition, and you always have in the back of your mind, 'It's great that he's home, but he's leaving again soon," she said.
But as the families awaited that first long-awaited glimpse of their loved ones as they climbed from the aircraft and walked toward the hangar, their thoughts were on the more immediate future: the first hug, the big dinner celebration ahead, the catching up to do.
Erin Buczkowski hoped her husband, Capt. Braden Buczkowski, an exchange officer from the Canadian Air Force, might even squeeze in some time to cut the grass before a big North Carolina-style barbecue with the neighbors.
Army Spc. Manuel Ramirez from the 647th Quartermaster Company, one of the small group of soldiers on the plane, said he had a lot of catching up to do with his wife, Jessica, after serving 10 months in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
"We're just going to go out and have some fun," he said.

April 13, 2005
March 4, 2005
Rowing championships are won in the winter months. The cold, grueling months of late November, December, January, February and early March set the tone for a team's spring season. During this time, teams strive to build both an aerobic base and an anaerobic threshold with which they will win races. Worcester's winter weather always allows for Holy Cross to have plenty of time indoors, ensuring strength and speed. Unfortunately, that time indoors was extended this year, all the way into April. The winter training is incredibly grueling as is, physically and even more so mentally, and the extended workouts really presented a challenge for our program. The athletes pushed themselves athletically, but also continued to do so academically, as the course load certainly does not lighten as the crew season progresses. However, the team remained focused, taking advantage of the extra time on the ergs and ensuring that our conditioning is as good as anyone's we will face this year.
Our first few races had to be completed with incredibly limited water time because of the blanket of ice covering Lake Quinsigamond. Despite that limited water time, our boats persevered and showed our potential. Competing at the Jesuit Invitational the weekend of March 19 on the Cooper River in Camden, N.J., we raced St. Joseph's, Boston College, Georgetown, Fairfield, Fordham and Loyola (Md.). Despite some slightly disappointing results, our team showed that even in mid-March, with only spring break water time under our belt, we can compete with some of the better schools nationally. Our lightweights placed fourth behind Georgetown, Boston College and Georgetown B, while the heavyweights rowed exceptionally well, placing second behind Georgetown. The second varsity eight placed third behind St. Joe's and Georgetown, while the freshman eight placed third behind St. Joe's and Georgetown.
The weekend of March 26, with our lake still frozen, we moved our raced scheduled for Lake Quinsigamond to the Merrimack River in Lowell, Mass., where we competed against Coast Guard and Wesleyan. (Additionally, the lightweights raced again in the afternoon against Boston College, finishing behind BC for the second weekend in a row, but having significantly cut down their margin of victory in consideration of still having no water time on Lake Quinsigamond.) The varsity eight, second varsity eight and third varsity eights (A and B boats) all won convincingly against Coast Guard and Wesleyan, sending us with some real momentum into our third racing weekend.
Racing Dartmouth on our recently thawed home course, our varisty eight placed first, and our lightweight boat placed third behind Dartmouth's top boat in that same race. The freshman eight and second varsity eight both placed second. Still behind considerably in water time, our team maintained focus and put up a good fight against one of the better teams we will face all year.
Next, the team faced one of its biggest challenges of the season in Trinity College. Our second varsity eight finished only 2.9 seconds off Trinity's second boat and our second varsity eight B rounded out third place in that same race. Certainly not pleased with having lost, the second and third eights simply took this race as a learning experience, and a sign that we are right there in terms of winning a New England Championship. Our varisty eight fought through tough conditions and also placed second, while our varsity four won in a tight race, beating out Trinity.
The following day, we raced in the Worcester City Championships versus WPI. Sweeping all but one event, we recharged as a team, and prepared for an intense week of practice leading into our final regular season race versus Colby, Tufts, Ithaca and Connecticut College. As we prepare for this challenge, the team, and each individual boat, has rededicated itself to the goals at hand: a New England Championship, and a Gold medal at the ECAC National Championship. Our goals are definitely within reach, and as the medal season heats up, our team looks forward to the challenges that lie ahead, falling back on our intense and beneficial winter training season.
Until Next Time,
Greg Connors
The water of Lake Quinsigamond surrounds us eight rowers and our coxswain while our coach trails in the launch, calling out commands. We all exhale together, pulling on the oars and sending the boat further down the lake. As the boat sets up perfectly, you can hear the water trickling down the hull as nine of us glide as one. These types of practices are what every rower lives for. Nothing can describe the feeling of being perfectly set, rowing in unison with your teammates while hovering above the smooth surface of the water. This indescribable feeling and these types of indescribable moments make all the year's hard work and discipline - the grueling practices and intense lifts - worth every minute.
Of all the sports I have ever played, nothing compares to crew in its ability to reward its participants. Crew challenges individuals to challenge themselves on a daily basis and the lessons of determination and preparation that I have learned from rowing are applicable to every aspect of my life. No other sport that I have played generates the passion and camaraderie that unite anyone who has ever been involved with rowing.
When applying for college, I knew that I wanted to continue to row, having participated for three years in high school - one as a coxswain, two as a rower. Holy Cross, though not carrying the distinction of being one of the Ivy League schools, allows me to compete on an Ivy League level, while getting as good an education as I would at any Ivy League school. Currently a Junior English major, Holy Cross has been the perfect fit for me. But it was not always that way.
Early in my freshman year I thought of transferring, but eventually decided against such an action because of the relationships that had blossomed between teammates and coaches alike. Training with them each and every day, experiencing the same grueling routines of lifts, practices, and classes, I became closer than I could have imagined with my teammates. Together with Coach Sullivan, they convinced me to remain at Holy Cross without really knowing what a huge impact they were having on me. Surrounding oneself with great people allows one, if he so chooses, to pursue greatness himself. I have been and continue to be privileged with that opportunity because of the people on the men's team.
Holy Cross itself and specifically the men's rowing program, while they certainly provide a welcoming and comforting setting conducive to the formation of long lasting friendships, also provide you the opportunity to be taught and coached by some of the most dedicated and inspirational people you will have the privilege of ever meeting. Generous with their time and energy, Coach Sullivan and the faculty here at Holy Cross commit themselves wholeheartedly to improving students' experiences.
The rowers on the men's team here at Holy Cross, together with Coach Sullivan make up one of the strongest programs in the country, true to the unrelenting, competitive nature of the sport, but also, and more importantly, honestly dedicated to the principles set forth by this Jesuit institution in the construction and formation of men for others. Each and every day, each and every practice is preparation for the future and invaluable experience for life.
Everyone involved with Holy Cross crew dedicates themselves daily to the task of constantly improving the program, whether by recruiting more intensely, or simply improving the quality of relationships amongst current members of the team. Through these entries I will hopefully portray an honest picture of the men's program and how it affects a student's college experience. I hope to give prospective students, their families, and anyone else interested in Holy Cross or rowing in general an inside look at what it means to be a part of this great team and larger institution. Currently, we are gearing up for spring break in Gainesville, Georgia where we practice on Lake Linear, which was the host site for the Olympics in 1996. Upon returning, we commence our spring season - one of our most promising ever.
Until Next Time,
Greg Connors

On the evening of November 4, 2008, the world's eyes were on Chicago. The city's political star, Barack Obama, had just been elected president of the United States, and tens of thousands of supporters had gathered in the city's Grant Park to celebrate the historic occasion. Anyone with a Democratic voting record or a sense of history had a twinge of regret for not being among the throng. At that same moment, however, musicians Paige Brubeck and Evan Sult were on their way out of the Windy City and headed for a cavernous loft on Cherokee Street.
Since arriving in south St. Louis, the pair has left a brightly colored mark on the city's art and music communities. Under the banner Sleepy Kitty, Brubeck and Sult operate a screen-printing business, creating eye-catching posters for bands and venues around town. They also use Sleepy Kitty as a band name, and together Brubeck (lead vocals, piano, guitar) and Sult (drums, vocals) write effervescent rock songs that touch on layered girl-group harmonies, sound collages, noir country and power pop.
Sleepy Kitty recently released its debut EP, What I Learned This Summer, which features two songs and three snippets, sketches and roots of other tunes. The disc is less than nine minutes long, but it offers a tantalizing, varied view of the band's abilities. Brubeck refers to Sleepy Kitty's music as "choir nerd discovers Sonic Youth," an apt description given the attention paid to classical harmony as well as dizzying, experimental noise-rock.
For Brubeck, the move to St. Louis was a sort of homecoming. She grew up in Millstadt, Illinois (population 2,794), and attended Belleville West High School. She also has roots in the city's music scene from her younger days and played all-ages shows at the usual haunts. "I was in ska bands in my junior high days — one was the Radioactive Bananas," she says with a laugh and only a slight touch of embarrassment. "I was in this punk band called the Have Nots that played at the old Creepy Crawl." While in Chicago to attend art school, she played guitar and sang in both Stiletto Attack and sang in a '60s girl-group cover band called the Deccas.
Sult's pedigree is a little more high profile. The Bellingham, Washington, native found national acclaim when his very first band, Harvey Danger, caught fire on the strength of the 1998 single "Flagpole Sitta." Saddled with a one-hit wonder tag (and burned by a ham-fisted major label), Harvey Danger went on hiatus, and Sult departed Seattle in 2001. (Harvey Danger later toured and recorded sporadically in the last decade but split for good last year. Sleepy Kitty opened its final shows in Chicago and Seattle last year, although Sult did not perform with his old band.) After moving to Chicago, Sult was a founding member of the acclaimed quintet Bound Stems, a group that married math rock's shifting tempos with a fuzzy, harmony-laden sense of pop. That band called it quits in 2008 after releasing four EPs and two full-lengths.
But the pair's musical background is only part of Sleepy Kitty's brand. Sult and Brubeck had been dating when Brubeck began conceptualizing her final project in pursuit of her BFA from the Art Institute of Chicago. The project, titled "Chicaghosts," married audio interviews and original compositions with photography and animation.
"It really works well that the first Sleepy Kitty stuff was graphic and audio," Sult says. "As we started thinking about it as a musical project, we also started screen-printing and stamping [the projects] Sleepy Kitty for fun. We just started working together. It became a fact that any work one of us did, the other one helped complete."
This type of "you wash/I'll dry" mentality shoots through nearly every facet of their professional and private lives. Forgoing a traditional marriage because of certain ideological concerns, the duo wrote their own contract and, instead of a wedding, held a "welding" at the City Museum. Sult says that their status is more in line with the domestic partnerships held by many gay couples and that despite that lack of tax breaks, the arrangement is perfectly suited for a lifestyle where artistic, musical and personal concerns constantly overlap.
Visiting the Sleepy Kitty loft on Cherokee Street illustrates this point. Aside from a few makeshift walls and barriers, the open space is a self-contained testament to the creative process. In the center, wire racks and broad tables hold still-drying concert posters; recent designs seems to favor bright pinks, blues and greens, a palette both psychedelic and playful. An alcove houses Sult's drums, Brubeck's guitar and enough keyboards to make Rick Wakeman proud. The space itself brought Sleepy Kitty to St. Louis; the possibility of working in a New York-style loft at St. Louis prices was too good to pass up. But according to Sult, the blank canvas of the loft required the couple to commit to the Sleepy Kitty enterprise full-time.
"We got to St. Louis, and we entered this big, huge room full of potential but filled with nothing, so we had to create the tools that we would use to create stuff with, which took, like, a year," recalls Sult. "The level of invention we had to apply to get to a spot where we could be writing songs and screen printing was high. It took a while. But the time to us seems to have passed quickly."

How many other fighters have not only the balls to consistently call out the toughest match-ups in their divisions, and then like the Pettis fight, manage to honestly congratulate their opponents after a loss?

In this they are duel wielding, using bows that wipe out an enitre group, throwing weapons, using sheilds as a flam shield.
I also agree with the above comments, this game is starting to get huge, and only time will show how massive the fanbase gets, but im sure it will be big.Wed Jun 09 2010 4:25PM Report
Bioware should take some notes from these guys on how to put together a nice class trailer.
Game is definitely looking good.Wed Jun 09 2010 7:06PM Report
I don't know about this. Not really sure if this is gonna be just a single player online game. I mean, i don't see any group play in any of the video's, this one included. It also looks like the mobs go down pretty easy as well, so you probably will be able to solo level and never need to group up. The graphics as well, kinda looks like the run of the mill, nothing spectacular. I also read that there is a personal story system in place and it will be instanced. So that tends to make me believe that the world will be very small and linear.Wed Jun 09 2010 7:13PM Report
The graphics is damn nice! ... and Warriors always rule! :DWed Jun 09 2010 8:54PM Report
Musicmann, nice try but this is GW2. Building on what they have learned from GW. SW:TOR isn't SW:TOR2 or SWG2 for that matter and they are building on what they know best.... single player linear RPGs.Wed Jun 09 2010 9:12PM Report
These teasers made me buy gw1 to pass the time, i'm not regretting this choice :p
Can't wait for this, though I'm probably still going to be an elementalist who knows what the other classes will be...
Nice to see how each will have a unique mechanic.
@ the wow poster above, warriors did have a bunch of weapon choices, but it didn't change your skills based on which specific weapon combination you used (it used to before they removed mace stun rng :p)
Arenanet for life, gw1 has hooked me with it's awesome story and complex skill choices, I'm hoping gw2 delivers the same depth :)Wed Jun 09 2010 11:13PM Report
musicmann: they wont show group play for a while...its months left to release. Can you relax..and its going to be fully open persistent world except the dungeons,personal stories and houses. I doubt it will be that easy to kill a mob,they must be higher level or they want us to take on more enemies to make us feel heroic and epic.Thu Jun 10 2010 5:28AM Report
0.0... Whoa... More and more interested with every video they release
Warrior looks epic enough to be one of my alternate characters...
I'm still going to play an assassin or some variation of it.
Assassin is always my first and main character in any game :PThu Jun 10 2010 8:09AM Report
Now i can say - Forget about non-tartgetting! i love non-targetting, but if this game delivers our expectations, im certainly going to buy this game and play the warrior class!
Every article i read about this game is better than the previous, its what we call NEWS in mmorpg, and its B2P, and we wont have to wait for years to release like the other games since A.net knows how to do marketing and management! 5/5 for GW2 if all their ideas in development come true!Thu Jun 10 2010 9:11AM Report
I just had a thought. All the podcasts and shows the big AAA titles like EA/ Mythic had to hype their game and this video reveal beats it all when it comes to positive results. Interesting to see how Arenanet is marketing this game. Comparatively low budget but fantastic results.Thu Jun 10 2010 10:24AM Report
After the fancy CGI mini-movies and gimmicks of other game pre-release hype factories, it's amazing how ArenaNet can light a fire under its potential playerbase simply by throwing down a pure no-B.S. gameplay video. That, folks, is called Doing It Right(TM). I haven't been this excited about a game in years. So many WoW-clones have tumbled off the assembly line lately, it's nice to finally see someone willing to take a bold step forward with their game design. I'm stoked!Thu Jun 10 2010 12:57PM Report
Guild Wars was my first f2p love and also where I happened to fall in love with someone, and this.. holy shit, is it ever a dream come true!Thu Jun 10 2010 5:27PM Report
This looks amazing. Gosh. I'm going to have to upgrade my computer AGAIN I imagine. The gfx looks absolutely awe-inspiring. I've got to remember to set back some income tax return money next year....maybe start a GW2/TSW savings account. hehThu Jun 10 2010 7:25PM Report
@girlgeek No you probably won't actyually have to upgrade. Arenanet has said many times that they are optimising this to run on mid range pc's. They seriously optimise their code so that you get more from less so to speak. You can play Guild Wars on dial up FFS!!!
Minimum Specs for Guild Wars 1 up to Eye of the North:
I would stay tuned for Anet to say something more on min specs though. It would be safe to say if you bought your pc in the last 2 years its probably gonna run GW2 no sweat. It just won't be ZOMG pretty!!Thu Jun 10 2010 9:59PM Report
@garrett horned beastman = Charr :)
The animations and sound effects are awsome. I do believe the smack talking ( though entertaining ) will get old within the first hour or so of play. I wonder if there will be alot of animated story line FMVs, like GW1 had. I like a good story to go along with great gameplay.Fri Jun 11 2010 5:15AM Report
Well, we'll see how dynamic the combat is, if the hits / miss are actually linked with ur weapons pixels hitting or not the mobs, good, if it's just pretty animations added to "TAB" targeting then, it's pretty, ok, but doesn't bring anything new.
Will see how the quests n content will go. And i hope the voice over will be modified a lil, cuz it sounds quite dull atm (ain't as fun as BFBC2's).
Anyhow, this game's probably the only hope for the fantasy MMORPG genre (unless TERA can deliver somethin despites its Korean roots), so let's keep the fingers crossed, but not there yet to jump in the fanboi bandwagon.Mon Jun 14 2010 1:33AM Report
first time ive looked at this game. do the toons really drop a punchline each time they fight? thats pretty cheesy imoWed Jun 23 2010 11:29AM Report
Anyone who plays or has ever played GW know that this is not a BS, it will be like this, even better.
After I have played about 20 different p2p mmos, I still say that GW and Anet are the best dev / mmo in the world when u concider ALL of the mmo aspects!Fri Jul 16 2010 8:17AM Report
Let's make it look purtee and get them to buy it. Only then will they see that these are mocked up and doctored videos. By then it will be too late.
C'mon guys these are tweaked videos and you know it. Sure the graphics are nice but no way in hell is this game gonna play as depicted in the videos.Mon Sep 06 2010 1:02PM Report

- Dance: "PeopleDance: Body Politic"
Current News
"PeopleDance: Body Politic" explores politics through movement
The polarizing and consensus-building aspects of politics are explored through "PeopleDance: Body Politic," opening Nov. 9 at Willamette University's Pelton Theatre.
Showcasing nine works designed by four choreographers, the dances evoke a spectrum of emotions, says Artistic Director Matthew Nelson. "More Please," is a collaborative hip-hop piece focused on consumerism, while "Empower" is a visual interpretation of how performers discover their internal strengths.
"Our movements generate meaning," Nelson says. "They connect us to one another, even if we aren't always able to make sense of what we see."
Two aerial pieces are featured during the program. In one, a student performs in a hammock. In another, five dancers — two on pointe — perform on, through and under a ladder. An original apparatus is also debuting during the show.
Technical Director EJ Reinagel, who helped choreograph the aerial pieces, says his goal is to use the talents of the classically trained dancers both on the floor and in the air.
"My love of dance and being able to move it into the air is a wonderful creative outlet for me," he says. "My hope is that by adding this element to our dance concerts, we bring a higher level of excitement to the show."
Nelson agrees, adding that he hopes people leave the theatre feeling inspired.
"The dances may inspire emotion, thought, action or quietude," he says. "Our power results from the ability to respond to one another, and I hope people feel a greater sense of community from what they see."
Performances are scheduled from Nov. 9–17, 2012, with a preview performance Nov. 8. Thursday through Saturday performances begin at 7:30 p.m., while 2 p.m. showings are planned for Nov. 11 and 17.
Tickets cost $12 for general admission, $8 for students and seniors 65 and older, and $10 per person for groups of 10 or more.
Tickets may be purchased at the door, by calling the WU Theatre Box Office at 503-370-6221 or by email at email@example.com. They are also available at www.boxofficetickets.com and at Travel Salem, 181 High St., 503-581-4325.

Following is the result of a brainstorming session for a class project on the topic of using Google to search for people. Please add anything that we may have left out! First off, getting that list of contacts for a big project can be tedious. You can't rely on your network alone for the most up to date details on all the individuals relevant to your next endeavor.
Thankfully the Internet – particularly Google, is home to a vast network of websites that are regularly updated with almost everybody's contact information. People search techniques actually work, just like any other type of subject material you place in the search bar. Google can lead to almost anything and everything from contact numbers, addresses, office information, etc. This article will run you through the different methods available when performing a Google people search.
The most basic form of Google search for people involves typing the person's name and hitting the search button. If their contact details are included in their company website or their personal blog, then Google Search will uncover that and provide it for you with the link.
For more specific information on the person you are looking for, you can Google People with the following steps:
- Google Plus has over a million people, letting you connect with friends, their friends, and their contacts. Go over to Google Plus, get an account, and start adding everyone you know.
- The Google Plus Directory lets you narrow down the people you search for via their name, location, or profession.
- Suggestions are included in a right side bar of Google+, narrowing down your people search. Click away and start narrowing down those people you might need.
- You can also find people according to their email address, high school, college or university, as well as workplace.
- You may also try connecting to your other accounts on Yahoo or Hotmail.
You can also track an individual using Google News Alert. This will apply to individuals with a very visible presence in the web. To enable Google News Alert, take the following steps:
- Go to the Google Alerts page in your account.
- Read through the options that will narrow down the kind of alerts you will receive.
- Start with your purpose for Google Alerts. Be specific about the person you would like news on. This is done by inputting the search query.
- Then you will indicate the result type you want updates on: it can be from blogs, news, videos, discussions, and even books.
- You can filter the results to all kinds or to the most popular or reliable ones
- The occurrence of the alert is also determined by your settings: as it happens, once a week, or once a day.
- Lastly you can have the alerts sent to a specific address.
Other locating methods use the Google people style search in the directories of the said social network. People are narrowed down according to gender, relationship status, occupation, and their location on FindPeopleonPLus.com. It is another form of a Google+ directory on based on different categories. You can also check out Gpeep.com which gets its indexes as well from Google Plus. You can also search for people on Google Plus via their location. This lets you narrow down where the person is or where he/she could be.
On Google+ or in the Google search bar, you can type live, and then the location. Further clicking will either give you people actually from that location or have already lived in that city. If they have just moved, you can use their previous place lived in as a reference for their old office or contacts.
If you know specific details about that person, like how they convey certain terms or places, you can try searching for imaginary locations such as the "Universisty of Middle Earth", "Big Apple"; etc.
Images are another means of finding a person with Google. The search engine's rich database from different websites lets you find his/her latest photo or a record of a photo from a company website, Facebook, or even that person's blog. You can even search the person through an image file you have stored in your computer.
To search for a person using their photo, drag the image from its source into the search box in images.google.com. Then click the camera icon, and then select "Upload an Image". If you are searching via Google Images, you can copy the Image URL (seen after right clocking) and then copy the URL to the Google Images search bar, click the camera icon, and then Paste image URL. For a faster image search, try your browser's extension. Once installed, you simply have to right click the photo to enable a Google Search.
Whatever your purpose for finding a person online, Google+ has hosted a number of ways to narrow down that search and make contact much easier for you. Start exploring what Google has to offer and you'll get started on that project ASAP! All these different resources are available for a wider and faster network connection among individuals.

Robert Higgs: If labor force does not grow, the economy won't, either
The U.S. unemployment rate dipped to 6.7 percent in December, stirring considerable joy in Mudville. Before we spend time shouting hurrah, however, we should bear in mind a few other facts and recall that not so long ago an unemployment rate of 6.7 percent would have been considered scandalous.
One of the main reasons for containing our joy is that the rate fell from 7 percent in November despite the addition of just 74,000 net new jobs, a weak performance by any measure — and far below the 2013 monthly average of 182,000 new jobs. Another reason for caution is that the standard unemployment measure (U-3) provides a distorted picture of what's taking place in the job market.
A better measure of the health of the job market is total employment: how many people have jobs. After all, it is employment that contributes to our well-being. Jobs, not unemployment, produce the goods, services and earnings that our families rely on. And on this front the picture is grim by historical standards, with 2 million fewer civilians working at the end of 2013 than at the end of 2007, when the economy began to tank.
But even this doesn't tell the full story, because while the economy and job market have been struggling, the population has been growing. This means that a smaller percentage of the job-eligible civilian population — that is, non-institutionalized individuals age 16 and older — has jobs.
The employment-population ratio plummeted, of course, during the recession. While the economy has slowly inched its way back since hitting bottom in mid 2009, the ratio of employment to population has been stuck in the 58 percent to 59 percent range ever since — anemic by historical standards. In December, the employment-population ratio remained stuck at 58.6 percent.
What these numbers tell us is that the labor market remains in a funk.
The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics jobs report clearly shows that employment continues its recovery. Over the course of 2013, the number of unemployed fell by 1.9 million. And since the low point during the recession, more than 7 million jobs have been added. But in terms of total jobs, we're still in the hole.
The collapse of the employment-population ratio is particularly troubling, indicating that something must have occurred since 2008 or 2009 to depress the job market.
The White House and its allies don't want to talk about this issue. They continue to focus on the slow-but-steady monthly job gains and equally slow-but-steady decline in the unemployment rate. Administration critics respond by pointing out that the unemployment statistics are improving because the labor force has been shrinking, with many people abandoning their job searches, retiring sooner than they would have under normal circumstances, or finding ways to qualify for disability, using it as a de facto long-term unemployment insurance program.
For many decades the U.S. population and the U.S. labor force grew in tandem. That is no longer the case.
Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: unless the labor force resumes something like its historically normal growth, we cannot expect the economy to resume its historically normal growth.

The three nuns
Three nuns die in a horrible car crash. They immediately find themselves at the Pearly Gates, but at the end of a LONG line. Feeling entitled, they cut to the front, where St. Peter confronts them.
"Sisters, I'll overlook your breach in protocol because you are nuns, but one rule we do not break here is, everyone has to answer a difficult question for permitted entry. Are you ready to proceed?"
The nuns flooped agreement.
St Peter continues. "Nun number one - what was the name of the first man on earth."
Nun #1: heh, that's easy. Adam.
Trumpets blare, and the gates swing open. Nun #1 proceeds through.
St. Peter: Nun #2 - what was the name of the first woman, on earth.
Nun #2: (giggles) I'm gonna say, Eve?
Trumpets blare, and the gates swing open. Nun #2 proceeds through.
St. Peter: Okay, Nun #3 - what was the first thing Eve ever said to Adam, in the garden of Eden?
The nun appears confused, puts her finger to her lips, then scratches her head. Then says...
Nun #3: Umm..... Adam? That's HARD!
Trumpets blare, and the gates swing open. Nun #3 proceeds through!

Statistics on St. Patrick's Day traffic citationsWritten by Emily Gibb | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Out of 162 traffic stops for the St. Patrick's Day traffic blitz by the Toledo Police Department and the Toledo Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol on March 17, officers arrested three individuals for operating a motor vehicle under the influence (OVI), police said in a press release.
Of the 117 other citations issued, 52 were for speeding, 13 were for driving under suspension or without a license and five were for not wearing seatbelts.
Toledo police units made an additional five OVI arrests and recorded 20 photo enforcement speed violations inside school zones in areas that were not a part of the special blitz.

The whole landscape of the Val d'Orcia, valley of the river of the same name, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2004. During the 14th and 15th centuries the region was a Sienese dominion and the city-state cultivated and redesigned the landscape according to ideals of beauty and aesthetics during the Renaissance period in order to create an example of good government. The particular aesthetics of the landscape with its flat plains and almost conical hills has inspired many artists. Their paintings show the beauty of agricultural landscape during the Renaissance period.
The first cultural evidence is of Etruscan origin. Archeological discoveries such as alabaster vessels, wall paintings and monumental tombs in particular give an idea of the Etruscan period.
The Romans, too, left their trace. The romantic Gothic period was followed by Renaissance, one of the most fertile periods of Tuscan architecture, and it was the city-state of Florence that gave the first impulse for a revival of the classical period at the beginning of the 15th Century. The indissoluble connection between Renaissance and Pope Pius II is visible everywhere in Val d'Orcia as he is known as one of the major promoters of arts during that period.
The passion for arts and culture is still present in Italy and many people consider it an expression of lifestyle and their philosophy of life. The same is true for many Tuscan traditions, Tuscan cuisine and the strong family-based social structures. The meals, especially in company of several relatives and friends, are very important for Italian culture and demonstrate regional and national pride.

The Five Best Wings in St. Louis
Selecting Riverfront Times' Best of St. Louis 2011 was no picnic. Choosing the winner meant several worthy candidates would go unmentioned -- until now. In this Gut Check series, we are chewing our way through notable runners up in a number of categories. To see hundreds more winners and finalists and download the Riverfront Times Best of St. Louis mobile app, visit our Best of St. Louis homepage.
The Super Bowl is a week from Sunday, and according to a Los Angeles Times report, Americans will eat 1.25 billion wings the day of the big game. That's not a misprint. 1.25 billion wings, or 5% of America's total wing consumption for the entire year.
Jennifer Silverberg
Gut Check loves us some wings. Here are our finalists for the best in St. Louis.
The Finalists:
Kirkwood Station Brewing Company (105 East Jefferson Avenue, Kirkwood; 314-966-2739)
Ian Froeb The "Meramec Chicken Wings" at Kirkwood Station Brewing Company
At Kirkwood Station, the brewpub that has had more names than Puff Daddy, the wings are so plump that it's difficult to imagine the size of the chickens to which they were once attached. You can choose one of three sauces to coat the crisp wings: traditional buffalo, sweet and tangy or chipotle barbecue. Our money's on the traditional. Actually, while "traditional," this isn't the usual thin, fire-engine-red buffalo sauce, but a thicker -- dare we say creamy, even -- version, a brilliant orange color, with a nice depth of flavor after that initial piquant hit.
Peel Wood Fired Pizza (921 South Arbor Vitae, Edwardsville, Illinois; 618-659-8561)
Ian Froeb The "Fire" wings at Peel Wood Fired Pizza
Peel roasts its wings in the same wood-burning oven used for its pizzas (and most everything else), imbuing the exterior with crunch and that wonderful sweetness of browned meat. Sauces range from the classic buffalo to Thai red curry to a balsamic-vinegar reduction, but the standout might be the "Fire" wings, tossed with crushed red pepper, Parmesan cheese, basil, salt and olive oil spiked with roasted garlic.

As with all subhuman morons, the Peter Principal is at work with this monster. As if the damage this bastard did with the Los Angeles County Child Support Services Department wasn't bad enough, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors promoted this thug to position of Director for the Los Angeles County Department of Social Services. We can't help but wonder how much destruction of people's lives he's doing now. Browning belongs in jail for his crimes - NOT as an administrator for any department.
As one of his last crimes against humanity while he was chief child abuser for the Los Angeles County Child Support Services Department, Browning was responsible for waiting an ENTIRE MONTH to notify over a quarter of a million of his victims when computers were stolen from his West Covina office - home of such sleazy scum bag shysters as: Dennis Coe, Deborah Echeverria, Alex Huynh, and Chris Stark.

On Jan. 23 around 2 p.m. Detective Josh Goins of the Campbell County Sheriff's Department was traveling on Jacksboro Pike when he noticed a vehicle cross over the line in the left hand lane. Goins continued to follow the vehicle onto Towe String Road where he stopped the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle Donald Bradley Shown, 30, 2155 Pinecrest Road, Jacksboro gave consent for the car to be searched, according to Goins.
Members of the LaFollette City Council are seldom at a loss for words.
But when Terry Sweat, interim city administrator, stated his intention to step down from the post at the end of next week the group fell silent.
Tammy Renee Colwell is not a nurse. She doesn't even play one on T.V. So when she phoned prescriptions into a local pharmacy for a number of medications while posing as someone authorized to do so she found herself with an emergency of her own.
LaFollette Police Det. Sgt. Jason Henegar conducted an investigation into offenses allegedly committed by Colwell, 37, of 216 Sunrise Lane, during the month of December 2009.
A county water line extension project was the main and lengthy topic of discussion at Monday night's LaFollette Utility Board (LUB) workshop and meeting. County Mayor William Baird, First District Commissioner David Goins and Civil/Environmental Engineer Bob Colvin were present at the meeting to discuss the need for the line extension with the LUB.
As the weeks to the August election tick by the number of politicos eager to nab an office continue to increase.
Joining incumbent county mayor William Baird and current county commissioner Scott Kitts in hopes of garnering the county's highest elected position is Ronnie Murray.
A two-vehicle crash, which occurred near the Campbell/Claiborne County line last Saturday, claimed the life of a LaFollette man.
Around 2:48 p.m., Fayetta Hopper, 42, of Speedwell, was traveling eastbound on state Highway 63 in her 1999 Chevrolet Blazer, when Herman Branson, 69, of LaFollette, crossed the center divider line, striking Hopper's vehicle, the Tennessee Highway Patrol report said. Branson was driving a 1999 Mercury Sable.
Branson was killed, while Hopper was injured in the accident.
Less than 10 days after his free speech complaint was dismissed, Adult World owner Steve Hale filed another chancery court claim.
On Jan. 11, Chancellor Billy Joe White shelved Hale's assertion that his business was being infringed on by the town of Caryville ordinance that governed adult orientated establishments within the town. In the first filing, Hale claimed that nude dancing was protected speech and should be allowed at the exit 141 business.
However, days later, Michael Hatmaker was back filing another lawsuit for Hale.
A single vehicle accident led to drug charges for a Caryville man on Saturday.
When LaFollette Police Officer Josh Vann arrived at 400 North Indiana Avenue to investigate a report of a single vehicle accident he allegedly found Joseph Ray Jones, 51, of 130 Hickory Lane, Caryville, passed out behind the wheel of his 1999 Nissan Altima.
As Vann approached the vehicle he observed Jones to have slurred speech and poor motor skills. Records indicate that Jones was allegedly unable to follow simple instruction.
Jellico's town court system now has nearly eight months under its judicial belt.
The town court system had previously been out of commission because a legal issue between former Jellico Judge Don Moses and the town of Jellico. The two were squared off over Moses' contract.
In January 2008, Moses filed an appeal in the Tennessee Court of Appeals after the abolishment of the town court. This left Jellico to play a waiting game until the issue could be settled by the appeals court.
A LaFollette couple found themselves in trouble recently. On Jan. 18 Detective Brandon Elkins of the Campbell County Sheriff's Department began investigating a burglary in the Lynch Hollow area where an individual reported the theft of a generator from their garage, according to the arrest warrant.
