Let me add a new one for me:
"Can spot a fellow PRS fan in a crowd of hundreds, mid song, at a gig!"
I played a fun gig last Saturday at the Red Sox / Pirates game at the Red Sox training camp in Fort Myers, FL, and as I looked out in the audience mid-song, a guy stopped in his tracks and his jaw hit the ground at the sight of my Aquamarine DC 245 Sig. He gave me the Ronnie James Dio hand signal and pointed to my guitar. I knew that he knew that it was a killer PRS. Never got a chance to speak with him after the gig, but it was a memorable "PRS Moment"!
(I am pretty sure I threw in a clam for good measure, shortly thereafter due to my distraction...)

To reduce the risk of respiratory depression, proper dosing and titration of KADIAN® are essential. Overestimating the KADIAN® dose when converting patients from another opioid product can result in fatal overdose with the first dose.
Initiate the dosing regimen for each patient individually, taking into account the patient's prior analgesic treatment experience. Monitor patients closely for respiratory depression, especially within the first 24 to 72 hours of initiating therapy with KADIAN® (see Warnings and Precautions section of accompanying Full Prescribing Information).
Consider the following factors when selecting an initial dose of KADIAN®: Total daily dose, potency, and any prior opioid the patient has been taking previously; Reliability of the relative potency estimate used to calculate the equivalent dose of morphine needed (Note: potency estimates may vary with the route of administration); Patient's degree of opioid experience and opioid tolerance; General condition and medical status of the patient; Concurrent medication; Type and severity of the patient's pain.
KADIAN® dosages of 70 mg, 130 mg, and 150 mg have been discontinued.
Reference:1. KADIAN® CII [prescribing information], Parsippany, NJ: Actavis Pharma, Inc; November 2013.
WARNING: ABUSE POTENTIAL, LIFE-THREATENING RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION, and ACCIDENTAL EXPOSURE
Abuse Potential
KADIAN® contains morphine, an opioid agonist and Schedule II controlled substance with an abuse liability similar to other opioid agonists, legal or illicit. Assess each patient's risk for opioid abuse or addiction prior to prescribing KADIAN®. The risk for opioid abuse is increased in patients with a personal or family history of substance abuse (including drug or alcohol abuse or addiction) or mental illness (e.g., major depressive disorder). Routinely monitor all patients receiving KADIAN® for signs of misuse, abuse, and addiction during treatment.
Life-threatening Respiratory Depression
Respiratory depression, including fatal cases, may occur with use of KADIAN®, even when the drug has been used as recommended and not misused or abused. Proper dosing and titration are essential and KADIAN® should only be prescribed by healthcare professionals who are knowledgeable in the use of potent opioids for the management of chronic pain. Monitor for respiratory depression, especially during initiation of KADIAN® or following a dose increase. Instruct patients to swallow KADIAN® capsules whole or to sprinkle the contents of the capsule on applesauce and swallow without chewing. Crushing, dissolving, or chewing the pellets within the capsule can cause rapid release and absorption of a potentially fatal dose of morphine.
Accidental Exposure
Accidental consumption of KADIAN®, especially in children, can result in a fatal overdose of morphine.
KADIAN® is contraindicated in patients with significant respiratory depression, acute or severe bronchial asthma in an unmonitored setting or in the absence of resuscitative equipment, known or suspected paralytic ileus, and hypersensitivity to morphine.
KADIAN® 100 mg and 200 mg capsule strengths ARE FOR USE IN OPIOID TOLERANT PATIENTS ONLY. Ingestion of these capsules or the contents within the capsules may cause fatal respiratory depression when administered to patients not already tolerant to high doses of opioids.
Warnings and Precautions
KADIAN® contains morphine, an opioid agonist and a Schedule II controlled substance. Morphine can be abused in a manner similar to other opioid agonists, legal or illicit. Opioid agonists are sought by drug abusers and people with addiction disorders and are subject to criminal diversion. Consider these risks when prescribing or dispensing KADIAN® in situations where there is concern about increased risks of misuse, abuse, or diversion. Concerns about abuse, addiction, and diversion should not, however, prevent the proper management of pain.
Misuse or abuse of KADIAN® by crushing, chewing, snorting or injecting the dissolved product poses a significant risk that could result in overdose and death. Assess each patient's risk for opioid abuse or addiction prior to prescribing KADIAN®. The risk for opioid abuse is increased in patients with a personal or family history of substance abuse (including drug or alcohol abuse or addiction) or mental illness (e.g., major depression). Routinely monitor all patients receiving opioids for signs of misuse, abuse, and addiction because these drugs carry a risk for addiction even under appropriate medical use. Patients at increased risk may still be appropriately treated with modified-release opioid formulations; however these patients will require intensive monitoring for signs of misuse, abuse, or addiction.
Respiratory depression is the primary risk of KADIAN® and if not immediately recognized and treated, may lead to respiratory arrest and death. Serious, life-threatening, or fatal respiratory depression can occur at any time during the use of KADIAN®. Closely monitor patients for respiratory depression when initiating therapy with KADIAN® and following dose increases. Management of respiratory depression may include close observation, supportive measures, and use of opioid antagonists.
Instruct patients that KADIAN® should only be used by the patient to whom KADIAN® is prescribed. Inappropriate use may result in fatal respiratory depression. KADIAN® must be kept in a secure place, and out of reach of children. Accidental consumption of KADIAN®, especially in children, can result in a fatal overdose of morphine.
To reduce the risk of respiratory depression, proper dosing and titration of KADIAN® is essential. Overestimating the KADIAN® dose when converting patients from another opioid product can result in fatal overdose with the first dose.
Respiratory depression is more likely to occur in elderly, cachectic, or debilitated patients as they may have altered pharmacokinetics or altered clearance as compared to younger, healthier patients. Monitor patients closely particularly when initiating and titrating KADIAN® and when KADIAN® is given concomitantly with other drugs that depress respiration.
Monitor patients with significant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or cor pulmonale, substantially decreased respiratory reserve, hypoxia, hypercapnia, or pre-existing respiratory depression, particularly when initiating therapy and titrating with KADIAN®. In these patients, even usual therapeutic doses of KADIAN® may decrease respiratory drive to the point of apnea. Consider the use of alternative non-opioid analgesics in these patients if possible.
Hypotension, profound sedation, coma, or respiratory depression may result if KADIAN® is used concomitantly with other central nervous system (CNS) depressants (e.g., sedatives, anxiolytics, hypnotics, neuroleptics, other opioids). When considering the use of KADIAN® in a patient taking a CNS depressant, assess the duration of use of the CNS depressant and the patient's response, including the degree of tolerance that has developed to CNS depression, and the patient's use, if any, of alcohol or illicit drugs that cause CNS depression.
Start with a lower KADIAN® dose than usual and monitor patients for signs of sedation and respiratory depression. Also consider using a lower dose of the concomitant CNS depressant.
KADIAN® may cause severe hypotension including orthostatic hypotension and syncope in ambulatory patients. There is an increased risk in patients whose ability to maintain blood pressure has already been compromised by a reduced blood volume or concurrent administration of certain CNS depressant drugs (e.g. phenothiazines or general anesthetics). Monitor these patients for signs of hypotension after initiating or titrating KADIAN®. In patients with circulatory shock, KADIAN® should be avoided as it may cause vasodilation that can further reduce cardiac output and blood pressure.
Monitor patients taking KADIAN® who may be susceptible to the intracranial effects of CO2 retention (e.g., those with evidence of increased intracranial pressure or brain tumors) for signs of sedation and respiratory depression, particularly when initiating therapy with KADIAN®. KADIAN® may reduce respiratory drive, and the resultant CO2 retention can further increase intracranial pressure. Opioids may also obscure the clinical course in a patient with a head injury.
Avoid the use of KADIAN® in patients with impaired consciousness or coma.
KADIAN® is contraindicated in patients with paralytic ileus, and its use should be avoided in patients with other gastrointestinal obstructions.
The morphine in KADIAN® may cause spasm of the sphincter of Oddi. Monitor patients with biliary tract disease, including acute pancreatitis, for worsening symptoms. Opioids may cause increases in the serum amylase.
Morphine may aggravate convulsions in patients with convulsive disorders, and may induce or aggravate seizures. Monitor patients with a history of seizure disorders for worsening/worsened seizure control during KADIAN® therapy.
Avoid the use of mixed agonist/antagonist analgesics (i.e., pentazocine, nalbuphine, and butorphanol) in patients who have received or are receiving a course of therapy with a full opioid agonist analgesic, including KADIAN®. Mixed agonists/antagonists analgesics may reduce the analgesic effect and/or may precipitate withdrawal symptoms.
When discontinuing KADIAN®, gradually taper the dose. Do not abruptly discontinue KADIAN®.
KADIAN® may impair the mental or physical abilities needed to perform potentially hazardous activities such as driving a car or operating machinery. Warn patients not to drive or operate dangerous machinery unless they are tolerant to the effects of KADIAN® and know how they will react to the medication.
Drug Interactions
Concomitant use of alcohol with KADIAN® can result in increased plasma levels of morphine and result in a potentially fatal overdose of morphine.
KADIAN® should be used with great caution and in reduced dosage in patients who are concurrently receiving other CNS depressants including sedatives, hypnotics, general anesthetics, antiemetics, phenothiazines, other tranquilizers and alcohol because of the risk of respiratory depression, hypotension and profound sedation or coma. Additive effects may be expected when KADIAN® is used concurrently with CNS depressant drugs, and reduced doses of KADIAN® or the other drug(s) should be considered.
Mixed agonist/antagonist analgesics (i.e., pentazocine, nalbuphine, and butorphanol) may reduce the analgesic effect of KADIAN® or may precipitate withdrawal symptoms. Avoid the use of agonist/antagonist analgesics in patients receiving KADIAN®.
Opioids may enhance the neuromuscular blocking action of skeletal relaxants and produce an increased degree of respiratory depression. Monitor patients receiving KADIAN® concomitantly with muscle relaxants for increased respiratory depression.
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) may potentiate the effects of morphine. KADIAN® should not be used in patients taking MAOIs or within 14 days of stopping such treatment.
There is an isolated report of confusion and severe respiratory depression in a hemodialysis patient who was concurrently administered morphine and cimetidine. Monitor patients receiving KADIAN® concomitantly with cimetidine for increased respiratory and CNS depression.
Morphine can reduce the efficacy of diuretics by inducing the release of antidiuretic hormone. Morphine may also lead to acute retention of urine by causing spasm of the sphincter of the bladder, particularly in men with prostatism.
Anticholinergics used concurrently with opioid analgesics may result in urinary retention and/or severe constipation. Monitor patients receiving KADIAN® concomitantly with anticholinergic drugs for signs of urinary retention or reduced gastric motility.
P-Glycoprotein (PGP) inhibitors may increase the absorption/exposure of morphine by two fold. Monitor patients receiving KADIAN® concurrently with a PGP inhibitor for respiratory and CNS depression.
Adverse Reactions
The most serious adverse events associated with KADIAN® and other opioid analgesics are respiratory depression, chronic pulmonary disease, increased intracranial pressure, interactions with other CNS depressants, hypotensive effect, gastrointestinal effects and seizures.
The most frequent (≥ 5% of patients) adverse reactions with KADIAN® therapy are constipation, nausea, somnolence, dizziness and anxiety.
Special Populations
KADIAN® is in Pregnancy Category C. It is not known if morphine can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Chronic maternal use of morphine during pregnancy can affect the fetus with subsequent withdrawal signs. Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, unlike opioid withdrawal syndrome in adults, may be life-threatening and should be treated according to protocols developed by neonatology experts. KADIAN® should be given to a pregnant woman ONLY if clearly needed.
KADIAN® is not recommended for use in women during and immediately prior to labor. Closely observe neonates whose mothers received opioid analgesics during labor for signs of respiratory depression.
Caution should be used when KADIAN® is administered to a nursing mother due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants. Take into account the importance of KADIAN® to the mother.
The safety and effectiveness of KADIAN® in patients less than 18 years of age has not been established.
Use caution when selecting a dose of KADIAN® in elderly patients aged 65 years or older. Dosing should be initiated at the low end of the dosing range. Monitor patients closely for respiratory and central nervous system depression.

Bringing the Outdoors In: Doors Officially Open to Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building
October 3, 2011 — As you've surely heard—or seen—the College of Arts and Sciences' new Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building has officially opened at the corner of 33rd and Chestnut Streets. Home to North America's largest living biowall (and the only wall of its kind in a U.S. university), the Silver LEED-certified PISB is an impressive structure from top to bottom.
The landmark facility is named in honor of Drexel's 12th president, Dr. Constantine N. Papadakis. During his tenure, Dr. Papadakis recognized the need for greater space to serve the biomedical sciences, a field that quickly flourished after the University's merger with the College of Medicine. This growth was felt acutely by the Department of Biology, whose enrollment numbers have increased exponentially over the last decade: from 50 incoming freshmen in 2000 to 265 in 2010.
The burgeoning department celebrated their new home in the PISB along with over 600 members of the Drexel community at the grand opening and dedication of the building on September 20, 2011.
Undergraduate Sarah Michelson spoke on behalf of fellow biological science students.
"[The PISB] is certainly an upgrade from Stratton Hall, whose laboratories have become outdated and cramped with the rising number of science students," said Michelson. "In Stratton, many lab courses were scheduled back-to-back in the same room, leaving little time for instructors to prepare between classes. In turn, students lost valuable instruction time and were often shuffled out quickly."
As for the department's new home, Michelson added: "I believe that the Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building will have an immediate effect on the quality of education for biology students. New lecture halls and an increased number of teaching labs will allow for more flexible class scheduling."
The 150,000 square-foot building, designed by world-renowned architects Diamond & Schmitt and executed by Turner Construction, houses 44 research and teaching laboratories for biology, chemistry and biomedical engineering. The focal point of the atrium is the 22-foot wide, 80-foot tall living biowall, designed by Nedlaw Living Walls and maintained by Parker Plants. (Learn more about the health benefits of the biowall and its role in Drexel research.)
Biology research faculty, whose work ranges from biodiversity conservation to cancer and Alzheimer's research, each have a lab in the building that is equipped with the latest technology (not to mention some of the best views of University City). In Dr. Ken Lacovara's specially designed fossil lab, students are already back to work piecing together the most complete skeleton of a supermassive dinosaur (the fruits of Lacovara's five-year Patagonian expedition).
In addition to the laboratories, the essence of the PISB—a place for faculty and students to interact, to discuss and discover—can be felt in the open atrium, in the "collaboratories" on the second, third, and fourth floors, and in the brightly lit classrooms and lecture halls.
"It was a five-year odyssey that resulted in this magnificent building. However, what is more important now is the journey that begins today within this new structure," said Dr. Donna Murasko, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, at the grand opening. "We now have research facilities that reflect the true value of our current faculty and allow our students to learn in state-of-the-art classrooms and teaching labs. We now have space to grow to provide sufficient research experiences for undergraduates and to attract higher caliber faculty to mentor them. This building visibly signifies that Drexel has turned a new page and that it has truly become the gateway for the sciences in Philadelphia."
Murasko thanked a number of people for their role in completing the building: former provost Judith Pitney, late biology department head Dr. Mary K. Howett, current head of biology Dr. Jeffery Twiss, and, most pointedly, Dr. Aleister Saunders, whom she referred to as the "voice of the College" throughout the process.
Saunders, associate professor and associate department head of biology, also spoke at the PISB opening and remarked on his initial shock at being asked to represent the College to the architects, the construction company and to Drexel's own facilities department.
"The renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright said that a building's 'form and function should be one, joined in spiritual union.' Although I may have had my doubts as to my fitness to serve in this role, the administration was acting from greater wisdom," said Saunders. "I was asked to join the team because the administration knew that for this building to succeed, users needed to be integral to the process from start to finish. If Mr. Wright were to spend a day with us here, I believe he would agree that this building is a shining and elegant example of the union of form and function."
The evening concluded with faculty-led tours of the building and individual ribbon-cutting ceremonies in the spaces that have already been named by Drexel's beloved alumni and friends. Learn more about how you can support this impressive building and the work that takes place within it.

Save the time and hassle of building Ethernet cables by using fixed-length UTP Cat6 Ethernet Network Cables from Monoprice!
- Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Category 6 Ethernet cable
- 24AWG stranded, pure bare copper conductors
- 550MHz bandwidth
- Snagless cable boot protects the plug retaining clip
- 50µm gold plated contacts
- 30-foot length (tip to tip)
Monoprice Ethernet cables are made of 100% pure bare copper wire, as opposed to copper clad aluminum (CCA) wire, and are therefore fully compliant with UL Code 444 and National Electrical Code TIA-568-C.2 fire and safety standards, which require pure bare copper wire in communications cables.
|Cat6 24AWG UTP Ethernet Network Patch Cable, 30ft Red
|Question: Can Cat6 and Cat6a cables be mixed/ used together?
|Answer: Yes, it's fine to mix Cat6 and Cat6a, but you will only get Cat6 speeds.
|Question: This cable is listed as being "bare copper", does that mean it has no cable jacket or insulation?
|Answer: The "bare copper" refers to the construction of the conductors, as specified in the following reference:
Section 5.3 of TIA-568-C.2 requires compliance with ANSI/ICEA SS-90-661-2006 and ANSI/ICEA S-102-732, which both include the following: "Solid conductors shall consist of commercially pure, annealed, bare copper ..."
The problem is that some manufacturer's cut costs by using Copper Clad Aluminum wire for their conductors. The aluminum has a higher resistance, which causes more heat and can thereby present a fire hazard. "Bare copper" is the term used in the National Electrical Code, Underwriters Laboratories, and the Communications Cable and Connectivity Association (CCCA). Our use of the term is intended to communicate our total compliance with their standards for Ethernet cable construction.

|this used to be where our telly was. now it has newspaper and
various vessels to catch the drips. Every time it rains.
This week has been pretty awful for us. Dave submitted his thesis corrections on Tuesday, so now we are playing the waiting game till he gets his results. On Wednesday, the ceiling started leaking, bringing for both of us flashbacks of exploding pipes and a completely soaked flat. Fortunately, it's in the Dundee flat, and we aren't financially responsible for it. Unfortunately, the problem is an outside the building one, meaning the other flat owners are responsible for it as well as our landlords, and they have to go through all the stupid bureaucracy and money issues for it to be sorted out. so that's another waiting game. And it dripped on our telly. Work has been extremely challenging for me this week, and I an utterly done in. Dave has a bad cold and with it, a quite large eczema outbreak. Life is not what one would call fun. We have done pretty much nothing other than lounge and read and listen to music this weekend, and my goodness we need it.
Added to this, once we had decided we were aiming to move back to Paisley, I sort of mentally moved. The plan has highlighted stuff in our life here that is not at all ideal. I love my job(there are no words to explain how much), and the thought of not seeing the kids all the time is heartbreaking. Still, I think ahead to another winter of snow and bus travel, taking up to 4 hours to get home, being cold and wet, and I want to cry(sometimes in winter I did cry). When we are in Dundee for the weekend and it's nice, I fret about the Paisley garden becoming overrun. We are paying for the upkeep of two places (though curiously, since we probably will move back, it's seems to have been the means to an end).

I learned quickly that giving a baby a bath by yourself can be a stressful thing. Not only do you have to make sure that baby is comfortable and safe, but you also have to get them clean at the same time. Thank goodness for products like the Jahgoo Bath Support that makes bath time a little bit easier – for both mom (or dad) and baby!
The Jahgoo Bath Support is an ergonomically designed bath seat that provides optimal support for babies from birth up to six months in age. The round shape of the bath support makes it easy to get baby clean and keeps baby comfortable at the same time. Four suction cups at the bottom of the Bath Support keeps it stable while inside the adult bath, shower or tub so you don't have to worry about it slipping around. The Bath Support seat from Jahgoo is a clever and comfortable way to bath baby.
Not only is the Jahgoo Bath Support safe and comfortable for baby, but it is stylish, too. Designed with simple lines and fun colors (available in white and lime), the Bath Support will not clog your bathroom up with an eyesore that clashes with your decor. The Bath Support from Jahgoo is a practical, safe and stylish product that makes bathing baby a more enjoyable time for everyone involved.

The basic definition of innovation is "to challenge the status quo and constantly promote change." However, a stable, monopolistic environment doesn't tend to lead to innovative behaviour, and can increase its bias toward inertia over time — actively preventing innovation to maintain the status quo. We've seen this time and again in both the commercial and public sectors.
However, innovation is becoming a core attribute required by public sector organisations to merely keep up with the rate of change in society and develop new ways to deliver services, fulfill public needs, and become catalysts for economic growth. Constant change can be uncomfortable for people used to stable environments, but if we can harness it to drive innovation in policy development, service delivery, and in how we organise and operate the instrumentality of government, it may uncover major benefits and growth opportunities.
To explore this issue, we asked those questions that are in the minds of many people interested in public sector innovation.
Can Governments Innovate?
Governments can innovate, but they do it differently. So the question is not can governments innovate, but how should they go about it? [Read more…]

Up until Princess P came along, I never really payed attention to what cleaning products we used. Mainly, I went with the most reasonably priced products that I knew worked.

The CNN/Tea Party Express debate continued to expose the difference between Texas Representative Ron Paul and the rest of the Republican field on the issue of America's multiplying foreign wars. An audience member asked the candidates if any defense spending cuts should be considered.
Newt Gingrich began the foreign policy and military-spending discussion with an alarmist and unrealistic statement that "I think we are at the edge of an enormous crisis in national security. I think that we are greatly underestimating the threat to this country. And I think the day after we celebrated the 10th anniversary of 9/11, we should be reminded exactly what is at stake if a foreign terrorist gets a nuclear weapon into this country."
Of course, only a handful of nation-states have nuclear weapons of any kind. And the ability to make easily transportable nuclear weapons is perhaps limited to the United States, Russia, and Britain.

That's great Lanie.
Fredo enjoys a pittance in job growth, during an economic recovery no less. Bush had to deal with 9/11 and the housing crisis (no matter whose fault it was *cough*Democrats*cough).
Unemployment is still at 7.8% (terrible). Growth is about 2% (terrible). Your taxes just went up. Your wages went down during the recovery (regardless of the tax increase). Unimaginable and unfathomable crushing debt. And increasing. Worst creator of debt for any human being in any country at any point in history. Yearly deficit at $1.2 Trillion and climbing. Just raised taxes on 80+% of the country when he told us (and lied obviously) that he would only raise taxes on the top 2%. That class warfare lying SOB bullshit gave him a second term. You bought it, not me. No spending cuts offered, in spite of his "balanced approach" bullshit. No entitlements reform. Wants unfettered access to the debt ceiling for the next two years. Gas and food prices higher than ever.
Should I continue? Is this what you want for the country? Is this the path we should be on...practically no economic growth and the expansion of government...at your expense? If that's what you want, congrats, you got it.Be Not Afraid.

In reality she's just as hard left as her brethren at the DUmp.
She "sided with evil" because what 44 stands for is what she believes in too. She just tries to wrap it in a sugary coating hoping we don't notice.

Liberalism Is The Philosophy Of The Stupid
To Achieve Ordered Liberty You Must Have Moral Order As Well
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.
Good point. I personally think employers are being cruel jerks for their attitudes. A lot of them got the nerve to look down on those who don't have work all the while they refuse to hire somebody who isn't working. It sort of makes me not feel sorry for them when they undergo burdens such as taxes. Truth is if they'd look at the applicant's resume and past work, they'd find that they either did have the right skill set or were not far from it. People talk about on the job training. That's almost a thing of the past. Truth is if the factory work was still here, employers would require a degree to do the job. Then, they'll complain because they don't have any employees. I'm just feeling less and less sympathy toward employers. If you're an employer who isn't like that, then I'm not talking about you.
As for my original argument, this isn't about the unemployment rate so much as it was about the actual job growth. More new jobs were created under Obama than under Bush. Not to mention when Bush got out of office, jobs were being lost as an unusually high amount.
In December, the number of unemployed persons increased by 632,000 to 11.1 million and the unemployment rate rose to 7.2 percent. Since the start of the recession in December 2007, the number of unemployed persons has grown by 3.6 million, and the unemployment rate has risen by 2.3 percentage points.
The number of unemployed persons increased by 861,000 to 8.5 million in May.
A year earlier, the number of unemployed persons was 6.9 million, and the jobless rate was 4.5 percent.
The unemployment rates for adult men, adult women, teenagers, whites, and blacks rose in May. The jobless rate for Hispanics was unchanged.
Among the unemployed, the number of reentrants and new entrants to the labor force rose in May, by 326,000 and 204,000, respectively.
The number of persons who had lost their last job increased by 268,000 over the month to 4.3 million. Over the past 12 months, the number of unemployed job losers has risen by 907,000.
These data are from the Current Population Survey program and are seasonally adjusted. To learn more, see "The Employment Situation: May 2008," (HTML) (PDF) news release USDL 08-0757.
So, we were losing jobs and losing jobs in 2008. It couldn't be ignored anymore. As for lower rates during earlier Bush years, keep in mind there were discouraged workers then as well. With Obama pushing for unemployment extensions and Bush doing no such thing, of course his unemployment rate will appear higher than Bush's. Those people who have extended benefits are not considered discouraged workers in the eyes of economists yet.
Overview of the recession from 2007-2009. Notice whose watch this was under for the most part.
And with the way you, Rock, and Tx are acting in this thread, I'd rather go the rest of my life without ever having sex than have a conservative man.
Why is it that if I'm "good," even compliment you on occasion, you don't have one word to say to me, but you come out of the woodwork if I do something you don't like? It's like you're waiting for my liberal side to come out so you can jump out of the bushes.
Unemployment is still at 7.8% (terrible). Growth is about 2% (terrible).
That class warfare lying SOB bullshit gave him a second term. You bought it, not me. No spending cuts offered, in spite of his "balanced approach" bullshit. No entitlements reform. Wants unfettered access to the debt ceiling for the next two years. Gas and food prices higher than ever.
Should I continue? Is this what you want for the country? Is this the path we should be on...practically no economic growth and the expansion of government...at your expense? If that's what you want, congrats, you got it.
I want so called entitlement programs, but I also want more programs helping people get off of them. Bush didn't fight for that. Obama did. He encouraged more education to help people get the skills they need to get a job.

Lanie has struck back! RUN!!
OK. But I'd still like to hear the response to my post, which you must have missed......I guess.
A solid argument, is, after all, a solid argument. And if you have an argument to present I'd like to hear it. Who knows? You might be able to convert me to an Obama fan.
Meaningless bullshit, Lanie, and if you actually thought it through you'd know it (Of course, being that you're a Liberal, I realize that actually analyzing one of your Party's talking points is alien to your thought process, like asking a Eurotrash soccer fan what his cheer really means). "Saved or created" is as meaningless and devoid of real content as calling Obama policies "Tastes great, less filling!" By that kind of retarded claim, everyone who had a job when Bush took office and still had one when he left would be a job Bush 'Saved,' and the 'Created' part includes every Christmas temp and 60-day construction boondoggle job in the last four years...even if the SAME PERSON might have held four or five of those 'Obama-created' jobs in that time.
I don't think you're gonna have to worry about that sex with a Conservative man thing too much, brainless cheerleading stops being attractive when the woman doing it gets out of her mid-twenties and loses the cheerleader body.

@bracamontedavid asked: Several years ago, you became a mentor to Miguel Cabrera. What did you talk about to him and what was your advice to him?
@bracamontedavid (via Instagram): "It's very easy to talk about Miguel Cabrera. Despite his huge potential and status, he's a very good listener."
@bracamontedavid (via Instagram): "I'm surprised at the way Cabrera listens to advice, that's something you don't see in many youngsters who haven't got as far as he has".
@bracamontedavid (via Instagram): "Miguel is always encouraging his teammates. He listened to all his coaches (at the WBC). We have a great relationship".
@bracamontedavid (via Instagram): "I have given a lot of advice to Miguel both on and off the field. Especially with his personal issues. I told him he must keep on striving on being a positive role model"
Luis Garcia Rivas asked: How was it for you to become batting champion in a time in which there weren't as many Venezuelan stars in the Major Leagues as now? And how did you deal with the sudden increased exposure your batting title gave you, giving you such a high popularity?
Luis Garcia Rivas (via Facebook): I was so lucky to become batting champion in '93 with the Rockies, my name sounded a lot back then"
Luis Garcia Rivas (via Facebook): Those feats helped me to be in fans' minds, I worked on to surpass the offensive records set by Tony Armas for VZ MLB players"
Luis Garcia Rivas (via Facebook): I was extremely fortunate to become an important representative of all Venezuelans.
Luis Garcia Rivas (via Facebook): I am patient when it comes to meeting with fans, sometimes it's so hard for me to express that people are so fond of me.
Luis Garcia Rivas (via Facebook): I like to get people's love and respect, I am a shy person and I always wanted to go under the radar when my career began.
Luis Garcia Rivas (via Facebook): I think it's positive that I can be a positive influence on kids and that I can serve as an example.
Luis Garcia Rivas (via Facebook): "My dealing with cancer made me get love and respect even from people who weren't baseball fans, that helped me a lot in overcoming the disease"

@arturomarcano asked: What do you think of the use of steroids in the Major Leagues? How big was it in the years you played?
@arturomarcano "Back then, there wasn't a lot of talk about steroids. It became an issue on the later years of my career. I don't know if anyone used them"
@arturomarcano "We felt so uncomfortable when we knew someone used steroids, I wouldn't recommend it myself since it is so unhealthy"
@arturomarcano "Steroid use goes against the legitimate work of many people in the baseball industry, I was always an enemy of that"
@arturomarcano "Ballplayers (who used steroids) don't think about breaking records, they just care about getting a better performance and more money"
@arturomarcano "When so many players break records due to pure, hard work, it's ugly to see someone cheating them out"
@AvsAngel14 asked: "you used the number 14 for much of your career, is that number significant to you?"
@AvsAngel14 "When I played winterball in Venezuela, I got the number 41, and I couldn't get it in the Major Leagues since it was already taken"
@AvsAngel14 "I agreed upon getting number 41, which is 14 but backwards. And I kept on using it for the rest of my career"
@RoxBBFan57 asked: "How did you get the nickname Big Cat?"
@RoxBBFan57: "When I came to the US I got that nickname from my first Expos manager in rookie league, due to how big I am, but also agile.
@RoxBBFan57 "Besides, that manager couldn't say the name ´Galarraga´, so that's why that nickname stuck with me"
@will_e_777 asked: How did the Big Cat develop his batting stance?"
@will_e_777 "Nobody had that batting stance before I started using it. When Don Baylor started to develop it with me, it was a bit uncomfortable at first"
@will_e_777 "The difference with the new stance is that I was doing eye contact with the ball with both eyes instead of one, so my swing was quicker and more fluid"
@will_e_777 "Before the change, I only looked at the ball with my left eye. After Baylor worked with me, I saw the ball with both eyes and my swing improved dramatically"
@will_e_777 "And it's so great that it happened, because I was able to become batting champion with that. Baylor was my hitting coach in St. Louis. He told me that we would go to the Rockies together. From that day on I never stopped hitting until the end of my career."
@KDub1988 asked: Why did he choose to sign with the expansion Rockies after St. Louis?
@KDub1988 "Don Baylor was my hitting coach in St. Louis, so we worked on how to improve my hitting"
@KDub1988 @harding_at_mlb "I signed with the Rockies so I would continue to work with Don Baylor, and go on with the things we started developing in STL"
@wagner2080 asked "How did you feel in that season in which you lead the League both in batting and in strikeouts?"
@wagner2080 "Because of that thing with strikeouts, I admire Reggie Jackson a lot. He used to say that a K was just one more out"
@wagner2080 "If I struck out twice but I got two hits, I did twice as good for my team. Since I was a power hitter, my contact wasn't as much. But we came to a point in which both my hitting for power and for average both went smoothly at the same time"
@wagner2080 "I never got bummed for striking out quite a bit. That's the same with CarGo, who is even a better contact hitter than I ever was."
@VivaTigres asked: What is your least favorite pitch to hit, and in what location? Thank you!
@VivaTigres "The outside slider was the pitch which was hardest for me to hit. It starts looking as a fastball then it goes to the lower outside corner"
@VivaTigres "So when I tried to hit the ball, it landed low and outside. That was the hardest pitch for me to hit. It made me get the gray hair I have now."
@mighty_flynn asked: "What was your most memorable plate appearance in '95 at Coors Field and why? Thanks for the smiles.
@mighty_flynn "Of all my Rockies career, my most memorable at-bat was maybe that homer in Miami. It was 579 ft long and they cut it down to 529 three innings later"
@mighty_flynn: "The Coors Field prejudice annoys me so much, you have to pitch your hardest anywhere, and you have to hit your hardest anywhere. That's why I was glad I got that long homer outside of Denver".
@dansport84 asked: "Did you ever imagine that the current Venezuelan boom in the Major Leagues would happen?
@dansport84 "I did think at a moment that the Venezuelan boom at MLB was bound to happen sooner or later. Look at Miggy: I think he'll break all of my records very soon."
@dansport84 "Miguel Cabrera will even break the records set by American players. The growth of Venezuelan talent in the Majors has been astonishing over the past 8 years."
@dansport84 "VZ baseball has grown so much we don't even rely on foreign players at winterball. So many Venezuelans now play in the Bigs or Triple-A."
@dansport84 "There were more than 120 VZ kids playing in Spring Training, and maybe I am short at that number. In the regular season we have between 60-80 players"
@dansport84 "Cabrera, CarGo, there's so many that I even forget the names... I always mention Miggy because he's the one who gets compared with me the most"
Galarraga: "The Coors Field prejudice annoys me so much, you have to pitch your hardest anywhere, and you have to hit your hardest anywhere. That's why I was glad I got that long homer outside of Denver".

Chicago Fire
We're having a lot of fun with GIFs lately. Since its #RivalryWeek in MLS, we thought we'd do one on Sporting KC coach Peter Vermes being mad.
Also, props to @ricecakeonfire for tweeting me his compilation of the many faces of Peter Vermes:
A lot of cool media around Section 8 Chicago's tifo from Saturday... One more piece is this movable GIF file done up by our web maestro Nick Sintich:
A stroll through my Google Alerts this morning leads me to wish a big congrats to former Fire captain Chris Armas on his induction with the inaugural class into the Long Island Soccer Hall of Fame this past Saturday.
The second captain in club history, the Brentwood, N.Y. product racked up 273 competitve appearances (4th all-time) along with 12 goals and 50 assists (2nd all-time) in his 10 seasons in Chicago. He joins C.J. Brown and Zach Thornton as the only three players in club history to be part of all six domestic championships and is one of seven men enshrined in the Ring of Fire.
PERUSE: TrueCar Player Registry
I did some further digging and found out that although he was unable to be in attendance at Saturday's ceremony, Fire owner and Long Island native Andrew Hautpman helped support the event by purchasing a table at the dinner and had this letter read to honor Armas' career achievements and contributions to the Chicago Fire Soccer Club:
Greetings Fellow Long Islanders –
I wanted to extend heartfelt congratulations to Shep Messing, Paul LeSueur, Kim Wyant and Chris Armas for your induction into the Long Island Soccer Player Hall of Fame. Your contributions to the sport of soccer and to Long Island have helped shape the game and our community in positive and powerful ways.
I apologize for not being able to attend tonight's event (ironically, it's the home opener for my beloved Chicago Fire!). Speaking of which, I would especially like to acknowledge and thank the 'one and only' Chris Armas for his efforts with the Chicago Fire Soccer Club. Chris is the type of individual who has always done things the right way. His industriousness, talent, attention to detail and spirit has always separated him from his competitors on-and-off-the-field.
Having also grown up playing soccer on Long Island (in Smithtown where my mother designed all of the patches for the Smithtown Traveling Soccer Club), I immediately bonded and felt a closeness with Chris, not to mention having also admired his approach to the game. Chris is as hard working a player you will ever encounter and is perhaps the best holding midfielder of his generation. Despite winning five domestic trophies, being a five-time Best XI midfielder and earning 66 appearances with the U.S. Men's National Team, Chris remains humble and true to his Long Island roots.
Before owning the Fire, I always looked at Chris as someone who exemplified all of the characteristics I valued in a soccer player. Once I was leading the club, I realized that Chris exemplifies all of the characteristics I value in a person. Chris is a trusting and caring individual who treats everyone with the utmost respect and tries to do the right thing...always. Above all, he is a committed family man and a wonderful human being.
Chris, thanks for your spectacular contributions to the game of soccer, to Long Island and to the Chicago Fire Soccer Club. I'm am truly honored to have gotten to know you and consider you a trusted colleague and a friend.
Again, congratulations to all of those being honored tonight -- I look forward to seeing the Hall of Fame grow from strength to strength.
Best regards,
Andrew Hauptman
Hopefully Saturday's recognition for Chris isn't the only Hall of Fame he enters in 2013. Armas, who made 66 appearances and scored two goals for the U.S. Men's National team, was once again on the ballot for the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame this year.
The announcement on the 2013 class is set to come later this month...
Fire Homegrown forward Kellen Gulley has headed to Georgia to begin training with the NASL's Atlanta Silverbacks this week.
Fire head coach Frank Klopas mentioned throughout preseason that the team was looking to send the 18-year-old forward out on loan this year and it appears that the club is working towards an agreement with the second division side.
Signed from the Mississippi Fire Juniors in August 2011, Gulley has yet to make his competitive debut for the club. The potential move should serve him well in gaining playing time as he continues to develop.
Coached by former FC Dallas head coach Brian Haynes, the Silverbacks open their 2013 NASL Spring campaign vs. Fort Lauderdale Strikers on April 13 at Silverbacks Park.
Last night's tifo display from Section 8 Chicago was quite good. In case you missed it, check out this Vine video from user wreckyourworld.
According to ISA Operations Chair Eric Kekeis, "Project Rise" took 70 hours spread over eight days and cost $2000 total.
Check out these two time lapse videos of the whole process from YouTube user qskapunk and be sure to donate to the Section 8 Chicago tifo drive to help fund further tifo and other supporter related activities.
Well done everyone!

In this edition of Jeff Thoughts, I capture Esteban Canales, Dave Berchem and Raul Luna having some fun at my expense...
Kudos to the Sales Staff for going the extra mile for Saturday's game:
The Fire suffered a heavy defeat last weekend in Los Angles and are looking to rebound in the best possible way in the team's home opener against New England on Saturday evening. The Revs have yet to play a game and will hope to shake off the rust and try and spoil the Fire's first game at home in 2013. Here are some tactical things to look out for:
Handling Bengtson – how will the Fire's defense contain the target striker?
In last weekend's loss to LA, the Fire's defense couldn't contain Robbie Keane whose movement led to all sorts of problems for the team. Against New England, the defense will face a much different type of striker in Jerry Bengtson, a giant target forward who will likely play up front on his own.
New England have a host of attacking midfielders/wingers that will be looking for layoffs and knockdowns from Bengtson and the Fire's defense will need to try and stop the Honduran from linking with his teammates.
LA were able to stop Maicon Santos and Shejill MacDonald from holding the ball up at the Home Depot Center last week and if the Fire's defense can mimic LA's, the Rev's could be in a for a long night.
Who plays behind Bengtson? A wealth of attacking options for the Revs
Because New England did not play last week, the Fire will have less of an idea about who will be playing in the attacking positions behind Bengtson on Saturday night.
Though the Rev's have lost Benny Feilhaber, they still have many options for the second striker/wide midfield roles. Any combination of Chad Barrett, Andy Dorman, Juan Toja, Ryan Guy and Lee Nguyen could play against the Fire and all five offer something different.
The defense as a unit will be looking for a much improved performance and with Logan Pause and Arne Friedrich's return unlikely, Saturday gives the back four a chance to redeem themselves against New England.
On the outside, Gonzalo Segares and Jalil Anibaba were caught out a few times with balls in behind them last Sunday and must be aware of players like Nguyen and Toja who look to do that on a regular basis.
Dilly Duka and Patrick Nyarko did a good job tracking back and helping the outside defenders but the emphasis will be on Sega and Anibaba to get forward and put in crosses as every opportunity.
Creating more chances – possession and set pieces
The Fire showed some rust last Sunday, giving the ball away on numerous occasions and completing over 100 less passes than LA with the Men in Red's pass accuracy at only 74%. Large improvements in that department are certainly needed but the team will also be looking to get more set pieces in the attacking third.
The Fire's first (of only two) corner kicks didn't occur until the 60th minute in LA and it almost resulted in a goal for Anibaba after a brilliant cross by Lindpere.
As I mentioned last week, Lindpere's excellent deliveries from corners and free kicks will create many changes for the team this season. Last week LA started a new goalkeeper and this week, New England may start a new acquisition in the defense Jose Goncalves. The Portuguese newcomer is an experienced defender but as we saw last week, putting balls into a place where it forces the goalkeeper and defender to communicate and make a decision can lead to a mistake and a Fire opportunity.
The Fire only had one shot on target last week but also had some other excellent chances to score, most notably Rolfe's scuffed shot after the Cudicini mistake and Maicon's header just wide of the post. Klopas and co. will be looking for the Fire attackers to test Matt Reis as much as possible.
Prediction: 2-0 Fire with goals from MacDonald and Lindpere

Neighbors dismayed to see hillside logged
ALPINE, Ore. - If you head out Bellfountain Road from the village of Alpine, old Davidson Hill rises toward the sky above homes tucked in the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range.
The trees on Davidson Hill have been part of the view residents here enjoyed for decades.
A Creswell company started logging 40 acres on the hill, sparking outrage from neighbors.
Residents are mourning the loss of their view - and they fear side effects from herbicide that might be used in the process of re-planting after logging.
But everything being done on Davidson Hill is legal, the Oregon Department of Forestry confirmed.
The state agency has been monitoring logging there. So far, everything has been done in accordance with the Oregon Forest Practices Act. The act also allows for herbicide application.
But the act doesn't speak to the view enjoyed by neighbors.
The conflict between forest dwellers and Oregon's timber economy highlights a reality of life in Oregon: the same trees that make up one person's view might make up another person's livelihood.

In his State Of The Union Address on February 12, President Obama cited a number of new initiatives on which he intended the federal government to take action. The area that understandably caused the biggest furor was the president's reference to his proposals for increased federal restrictions on private firearm ownership, which he had outlined the previous month in a national address capitalizing on the December 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
Another proposal of the president focused on "one of the most fundamental rights of a democracy: the right to vote." After the applause died down, President Obama declared: "When any American, no matter where they live or what their party, are denied that right because they can't afford to wait for five or six or seven hours just to cast their ballot, we are betraying our ideals." More enthusiastic applause.
"So tonight," said the president, "I'm announcing a nonpartisan commission to improve the voting experience in America. And it definitely needs improvement."
Last week, on March 28, just before the Easter weekend, the White House press office released President Obama's latest executive order, on the "Establishment of the Presidential Commission of Election Administration."
The creation of the new commission appears to portend even greater activism and interference by the administration in the upcoming mid-term elections than it has already shown itself capable of in the 2012 elections. President Obama's Department of Justice, recall, sued to block state efforts at implementing voter identification laws that had been passed by state legislatures to prevent voter fraud. The administration did not hesitate to trespass on this constitutionally reserved right of the states, but joined with media allies and Democrat activists in denouncing these sensible measures as "voter suppression," and, of course, suggesting that the measures were racist in nature and aimed at disenfranchising black and Hispanic voters. At the same time, the DOJ chose not to pursue action against militant Black Panther activists that were actually involved in voter suppression through threats and intimidation at polling places.
Section 3 of the new executive order states:
The Commission shall identify best practices and otherwise make recommendations to promote the efficient administration of elections in order to ensure that all eligible voters have the opportunity to cast their ballots without undue delay, and to improve the experience of voters facing other obstacles in casting their ballots, such as members of the military, overseas voters, voters with disabilities, and voters with limited English proficiency.
Interesting that the executive order mentions "the experience of voters facing other obstacles in casting their ballots, such as members of the military," especially since the Obama administration has been credibly accused by many military veterans organizations of suppressing the military vote (see here and here).
A McClatchy News Service report last year noted:
In 2010, of the approximately 2 million military and overseas voters accounted for in data reported by the states to the Election Assistance Commission, only 4.6 percent of those voters were able to cast an absentee ballot that counted, according to the Military Voter Protection Project's analysis of that data from the federal Election Assistance Commission, which tracks participation in voting.
This means that more than an astounding 95 percent of military and overseas voters failed to vote — for one reason or another. According to the Military Voter Protection Project, the Department of Defense under President Obama has consistently taken many actions to undermine the 2009 Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE Act), which was enacted to facilitate access to absentee ballots for our military personnel serving overseas. Now the administration is citing those obstacles that it helped to create as proof of the need for even more interference in state elections.
