Backup Exec 2012 Scheduled Library Unlock job
Backup Exec 2012 doesn't seem to have an obvious method for creating a scheduled Unlock job for our tape libraries. But I was able to create what I hope will work with the following steps:
-Double click on the library to go into "Robotic Library details"
-Check mark "Pause" to pause the library.
-Click on Unlock... an unlock job will appear in jobs as ready;no idle devices status.
-Double click on the job and go to Schedule.
-You can now change it from Run Now to Recurrence with your desired schedule.
-UnPause the library.
But, you are stuck with what ever job name was created by default. That, evidently you cannot edit. This is just one of many examples of the inflexibility of BE2012 that makes it so maddening. Anyone have a better way? And yes, I know there's probably a command line method that can be launched with Windows Task Scheduler. But you shouldn't have to jump through hoops to do something that was so easily occomplished on previous revs.
I also find it anoying that the job doesn't show up with the backup jobs. Sure its not a backup job, but if I know I've got other jobs that will run over time on any given day and I want to put a hold on the device utility jobs, I don't want to have to jump around to various other screens to find them. I would like to have one master list of jobs like I did with Backup Exec 2010.

I'll have to check that out as tape swap Friday did not go well this last week but maybe I had other factors involved.
If what you say is true, doesn't that opens up another can of worms? That library lock is a good thing. If my dupe to tape jobs are running over time, I don't want the tape swap folks swapping the library's magazines while jobs are running. So does that mean I now have to schedule a lock job? If so, same problem.
But yea, I'll try what you mention and also try while jobs are running.
If you wish to change back to the pre BE 2012 library locking style, I believe this will help you.
How to change Backup Exec's robotic library locking behavior
If you find this is a solution for the thread, please mark it as such.
...the TN is tagged as far as BE 2010...are you sure this is even relevant to BE 2012...?
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
Hi MichaelY,
It's a harsh fact that, BE 2012 does not give us a normal scheduling option for Unlock/Lock operation. However, I really appreciate the workaround you came up with.
You can try this workaround as well:
If you want to schedule Unlock/Lock operation on the library, keep the library engaged with some other backup or restore job.
For e.g. if any test backup job is running to the library and at the same time you are trying the Unlock/Lock operation, it will open up a seperate window where you will have the option to schedule the Unlock/Lock operation.
"Something is better than nothing"
Appreciate every help you get, to help yourself better & Please mark 'SOLUTION' for the post which resolved your issue.

POYNOR, TEXAS. Poynor (Poyner) is on U.S. Highway 175 overlooking the valley of Caddo Creek, eighteen miles from Athens in southeastern Henderson County. An Indian village was just southwest of the future townsite until 1839, when Gen. Thomas J. Rusk drove the Indians away. The town was laid off by the Texas and New Orleans Railroad when it reached the community in 1901 and was named after D. H. Poynor, a surveyor for the line. The post office was called Poyner from its opening in 1902 to 1919, when the name was corrected to Poynor. Poynor had a population of forty in 1904 and 500 in 1914. At one point it had several general stores, a school, a blacksmith, a gristmill, a cotton gin, a barbershop, and a movie house. In 1950 Poynor reported a population of 230 and eleven businesses. The town reported 259 residents and four businesses in 1989 and 237 residents in 1990. In 2000 the population was 314 with eight businesses.

Pelissero: Against attacking Eagles, Patrick Ramsey better stay ready
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings are about to throw 220 pounds of supremely athletic chum into a shark tank.
They're going to tell Joe Webb to sink or swim on Sunday night at Philadelphia, knowing full well he'll probably get eaten alive.
Webb showed in Monday's 40-14 loss to Chicago that he has legs and an arm, but his raw physical tools never were in doubt.
He also showed why a shotgun, no-huddle, spread-offense Conference USA quarterback has no business directing a West Coast attack against a solid NFL defense only eight months after being drafted in the sixth round as a wide receiver.
Time and again, the Bears disguised their blitzes and morphed their coverages, confusing Webb into dicey decisions and one-read bailouts. He threw two interceptions, took three sacks and boosted his completion rate to 57.7% at 4.96 yards per attempt only when Rod Marinelli called off the dogs.
"It's going to happen," Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said on Thursday. "That's the inexperience of a guy that hasn't played in the games and doesn't really have much experience, just to be able to see the rotation of the secondary, to see the pressures, where they might come from."
Yet now the Vikings expect Webb -- 3½ weeks removed from impersonating opposing quarterbacks on the scout team -- to function on the road against the zone-blitzing Eagles behind a patchwork offensive line in his first NFL start?
Granted, the Vikings are in an unenviable spot, down to their No. 3 player at the most important position after consecutive blowout losses late in a miserable season. Playoff hopes are long dead at 5-9, and the organization may want a little more evidence to decide if Webb remains a quarterback going forward.
But with all due respect to the decision-makers within Winter Park -- including coaches who know that one more embarrassment might erase whatever chances they have left to keep their jobs -- does Webb even give the Vikings the best chance to win, if they have any chance at all?
Turning to veteran Patrick Ramsey less than two weeks after signing him off the street sure wouldn't be a sexy move, but a situation like this is precisely the reason he was on short lists around the NFL in the first place.
"I don't think we'd be afraid if he had to go in there," interim coach Leslie Frazier said of Ramsey, a first-round draft pick (32nd overall) by Washington in 2002 who last saw game action with the West Coast-oriented Denver Broncos in 2007 and '08.
"He is a very bright guy, and the fact that he's been in this system in the past, it shows up. He's even helping Joe with some of the things that Joe has to get done, some of the nuances of playing quarterback, because of his experience."
What would be worse on Webb? Telling him this isn't even a fair evaluation opportunity and he's not getting the start, or dangling him off the side of the Titanic with a spare tire?
And really, what would be worse on the Vikings? Praying that Webb can scramble his way out of drowning in the Eagles' exotic pressures, or ceding the job to a 31-year-old journeyman with enough experience and recent transaction history to suggest he at least could keep his head above water?
"He still can be a resourceful, efficient player at the position," said a high-ranking NFL personnel man who has seen Ramsey work out this year. "He's not necessarily going to elevate the play or the performance of those around him. But what he will be able to do is run and manage your offense if he needs to go into the game."
Frazier said the team's only concern with Ramsey is his layoff from competitive situations. He hasn't played in a regular-season game since 2005, when he finished a four-year, 24-start stint with the Redskins.
Is that necessarily a downgrade from Webb, who has been with the Vikings since April -- "he's heard the calls," Bevell said, "he knows the names of the plays, he can spit it back out to you" -- but didn't even take snaps with the No. 1 offense until last week?
The greater concern may be Ramsey's lack of mobility behind a line that's lost starting guards Steve Hutchinson and Anthony Herrera to injuries and is coming off perhaps its worst game this season.
Then again, what successful game plan ever has been built around picking the quarterback who can better run for his life?
"(Ramsey) does have some pocket awareness, to move in and around the pocket," the personnel man said. "He's not going to be a flusher. He's not going to be a scrambler. He's not going to be a runner. I think the protection's going to have to be pretty good for him to stay clean. He's a pocket passer. He's not an extender. He'll just try to put the ball in the hands of the guys who can make plays for him."
It appears, of course, that Ramsey only will have that opportunity if Webb goes under -- and assuming starting quarterback Brett Favre, who suffered a concussion on Monday, doesn't force another last-second starter change.
To Webb's credit, he admitted on Thursday he was overwhelmed against Chicago for "the first couple of series. Once I saw things started slowing down, I started coming to my senses and started thinking more clearly."
What he'll see on Sunday night is a Philadelphia defense that sends blitzers from all angles, drops its athletic linemen and run a wide range of coverages on the back end. The confusion that ensues is the reason the Eagles lead the NFL in interceptions (23), rank second in takeaways (32) and are in the top 10 in sacks (35).
Once there's blood in the water, the pressure on Webb only will increase. And when that happens, Ramsey should clutch his helmet like a life vest and prepare for coaches to abandon ship.

WWE low ratings
When it comes to television ratings, Vince McMahon is probably one of the most paranoid people in the entertainment industry. It is being said that he is going crazy backstage nowadays because WWE has seen a drop in their numbers. To combat this, the CEO is reaching into his pockets and bringing in the heavy hitters. Brock Lesnar and Undertaker are being added to several episodes of Monday Night Raw.
September 30, 2015
Undertaker at Raw
A post on Instagram of the Undertaker leaving the backstage area to head out to Monday Night Raw. The legendary performer was on hand to promote the upcoming Summerslam pay per view by explaining why he attacked Brock Lesnar at Battleground.
July 20, 2015
Paul Heyman return delayed
Initially, Paul Heyman was supposed to make his return before Brock Lesnar by working segments with Michael Cole about the story line lawsuit that is taking place. Lots of ideas were being discussed backstage on how to make that happen. However, it appears that WWE could not decide on a good one, as it is now being reported that Heyman is not scheduled to make his return to television until July. That is when Lesnar is scheduled to be back.
April 27, 2015
Michael Cole absent
There was actually a good amount of discussion throughout the afternoon about whether or not Michael Cole would be doing commentary on Monday Night Raw. Since people backstage were so divided, the decision was made to keep him off of television this week, in order to sell how brutal the beating from Brock Lesnar was. Many in WWE felt that it would be downplaying his impact if Cole were to be able to return to television so soon.

Charlotte and Brock Lesnar

Sting backstage in WWE
Everyone already knows about the argument that Vince McMahon and Brock Lesnar recently had while discussing business backstage at Monday Night Raw. That has caused a bit of headache for management. Sting, on the other hand, is said to be a model employee. He understands the contract that he signed with WWE, and he is more than content to fulfill his end of the bargain before fading away permanently from professional wrestling.
March 14, 2015
Brock Lesnar backstage
Fans that were in panic mode over the backstage argument between Brock Lesnar and Vince McMahon a couple of weeks ago during Monday Night Raw can rest easier today. The WWE Heavyweight Champion is currently in Pittsburgh and backstage at the taping. Lesnar and McMahon are expected to continue their negotiations this afternoon, so there might be a very slight chance that the former walks out on the latter yet again.
March 9, 2015
Brock Lesnar concerns
Last week, Brock Lesnar and Vince McMahon got into a heated argument backstage during Monday Night Raw. The two sides could not come to an agreement on terms of a new contract. Lesnar walked out and attended a UFC event, something that McMahon was very much against. Sounds like a lot of causes for concern. However, McMahon is said to be fine with things. WWE will continue with their current plans for Lesnar and Wrestlemania.
March 2, 2015
Vince McMahon attack
To give you an idea of just how heated the backstage argument between Vince McMahon and Brock Lesnar was at the last episode of Monday Night Raw, there were actually a good number of people who were concerned that Lesnar was going to physically assault McMahon. WWE security was said to be on hand in case things got out of control. The two of them never came to blows, but it was enough to get Lesnar to walk out of the arena.
March 2, 2015
Brock Lesnar argument
Another detail has been leaked about the big backstage argument between Vince McMahon and Brock Lesnar at Monday Night Raw last week. It is being said that Lesnar informed McMahon that he wanted to attend the UFC event in Las Vegas so that he could have a discussion with Dana White about returning to mixed martial arts. McMahon was against the idea, which reportedly caused Lesnar to walk out. He ended up attending the event.

High School Baseball
Trinity blanks Hawks in battle for third in GISA Region 1-AAA
by Doug Gorman
Trinity Christian's breakthrough season on the diamond added another feather to its baseball caps on Monday.
The Lions completed a two-game sweep of crosstown and GISA Region 1-AAA rival The Heritage School with an 8-0 victory on the Hawks home field in a game that was called just short of completion due to weather.
The two teams entered this week battling for third place in the region standings. But Trinity's win, which followed an 11-0 victory over Heritage in Sharpsburg earlier this season, pushed the Lions to within a game of clinching that No. 3 seed.
Trinity now needs a win Thursday at The Weber School (3-12, 0-7) to clinch third heading into the program's first trip to the state playoffs.
"This has been a great year for us," said head coach Brian Chmielewski "We had never even won a region game until this season. I am so proud of the way we have played. We have chance to finish our region season with .500, and that is huge."
Monday's contest was called with two outs in the bottom of the sixth due to rain and lightning.
Heritage fell to 2-4-1 in the region standings while still with a firm hold of the fourth and final state playoff berth in 1-AAA.
Monday's victory by Trinity followed the same pattern of its first win over the Hawks, as the team jumped out in front in its first at bat.
The Lions pushed six runs across the plate in the top of the first inning, sending 11 men to the plate and knocking starter Brian McKinney out of the contest.
Peyton Henson took over the pitching duties for Heritage with the team down 4-0 in the first and struck out three through five innings. Brad Macke pitched the sixth for the Hawks and struck out two.
Daniel Shoates drove in a run with a single and Devin Colburn batted twice in the first inning, picking up singles in both at bats, the latter of which driving in two runs.
Trinity also took advantage of control problems from Heritage pitching. Leighton Cannon and Tanner Johnson plated runs with bases-loaded walks to push the Lions ahead 2-0.
Another Trinity run crossed when Jake Elrod reached on an error.
The Lions drove in the final two runs in the top of the fifth when Cannon and Johnson singled and later scored.
Trinity pitcher Cole Elrod went the distance, striking out one and allowing just three hits.
Heritage managed to get a leadoff hit from Brad Macke in the first inning, but hits were few and far between for the Hawks.
The Hawks put two runners in scoring position in the fourth and fifth. Henson reached on a single and went to second when Jake Smith bunted him over.
Ben Cox led off the fifth with a double and went to third on a wild pitch, but Trinity
was able to pitch out of the inning.
The Lions had an chance to break the game open in the third when they loaded the bases with no outs, but Henson helped snuff out the rally when he grabbed a bunt out of the air and threw to Luke Smith at third base for an inning-ending double play.
Shoates handled four of the Hawks' first six outs on grounders and also reached three time with two singles and a walk. Johnson also had two hits for the Lions.

In today's economy, you will be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn't struggled to find work or maintain his or her current position. While recessions and layoffs are believed to hit the lower and middle class the hardest, they are definitely not the only ones fighting to find stable employment. It is not just the Average Joe's who are struggling to find work. Plenty of well-educated professionals and seasoned veterans of the corporate world are struggling to find a steady job. Here is a look at why so many citizens are struggling to find work, and why social status and education level don't always matter when it comes to job security.
Recessions Don't Discriminate
When it comes to economic recessions, everyone, regardless of wealth or social status, can be affected. Between reports of corporate bankruptcy, downsizing, elimination of roles and layoffs, everyone from the Average Joe to the CEO of a big brand company can be affected by a poorly performing economy. With an economic recession comes inflation, budget crises and job reductions. Unfortunately, the effects are widespread. From seasoned professionals to new college graduates looking to break into the work force, a poor job market and effects from a recession are hard to shake off.
SEE: Layoffs: Know The WARNing Signs
Nurses Having Difficulties in the Job Market
The healthcare sector has expanded significantly in recent years, and certain positions are in high demand. Unfortunately, one of the most widely sought after jobs in the healthcare sector is also one of the hardest to get lately. Nurses, whether fresh out of nursing school or seasoned and looking for new employment, are having an increasingly hard time finding work due to overcrowding. According to a study performed by the National Student Nurses Association in 2011, four months after graduating from nursing school about 36% of nurses polled were still unable to find a job in their preferred specialty. As reported by The Washington Post, this is partially due to poor economic standing where more seasoned nurses who were expected to retire stayed on board instead. Other possible causes include over population of nurses in large cities with under-population in rural areas, and low vacancy rates in hiring hospitals.
Another group that is having difficulty finding work in today's job market are veterans. Overall, the unemployment rate for U.S. military veterans was at 8.3% last year. For veterans who have recently served in the military, the jobless rate is significantly higher at 12.1%. With military veterans possessing a wide variety of skills and talents, one would think that it would be easier for them to find work. The military gives veterans resources to ease back into a career; however, it doesn't seem to be enough in today's shallow job market.
Law Students Desperately Seeking a Firm
Law students are always facing major difficulties in finding work after they ace the bar. According to a June 2012 article by The Wall Street Journal, law students who graduated in 2011 had roughly a 50/50 chance of finding a job in their desired professions within nine months of their graduation dates. These odds of finding a job after law school are disheartening and many law students feel as though they were misled by their law school's reported employment rates.
Seasoned Professionals Competing Against a Younger Work Force
Middle-aged professionals who unexpectedly lose their jobs due to layoffs can find themselves in difficult situations. It can be difficult for them to find work despite their considerable experience and skill. This is because of the massive amount of energetic youth who are waiting to start their careers.
SEE: Losing Your Job: From A To Z
The Bottom Line
Contrary to popular belief, it is more than just the Average Joe's who are struggling in today's job market. Skilled, professional workers with years upon years of experience are having as much difficulty as fresh out-of-school newcomers are. When competition is this steep, it is of the utmost priority that you get a leg up on the competition with a flawless resume. Connect with other professionals and contacts and ensure that you are doing everything you can to land the job that you desire.

My husband had several procedures done by Dr. Jani from September to December of 2012, and I give him a very good rating. He is very friendly, as well as knowledgable in all different aspects of procedures. I have recommended him to several people with upper digestive disorders.

I have had a normal colonoscopy and an endoscopic ultrasound with Dr. Jani. While you don't interact with the doctor too much in this process, the facilities and staff are excellent. I had no complications either time. Dr. Jani is very friendly and has been helpful in my office visits with him as well. Another great thing is that the colon "prep" work for Dr. Jani is rather mild compared to other doctors (only two bottles of magnesium citrate w/ dulcoluax, versus Go-Lyteley/polyethylene glycol). This is a _big_ plus.

Saturday, October 9, 2010
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA -- With Jonathan Dwyer watching from the sidelines during a weekend off, Anthony Allen put on a performance worthy of the former ACC offensive player of the year now with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Allen rushed for 195 yards and three touchdowns as Georgia Tech gained 477 yards on the ground in a 33-21 homecoming victory over Virginia on Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
Paul Johnson's spread option offense hadn't been quite as hard to stop this season without Dwyer, who declared for the NFL draft a year early after rushing for 1,395 each of his last two seasons.
But Allen, a senior in his second season with the Yellow Jackets after transferring from Louisville, had a breakout game against the Cavaliers after going without a touchdown in his first five games as the starting B-back.
Running over Virginia defenders when not racing by them, Allen had touchdown runs of 6 and 18 yards in the third quarter and 8 yards in the fourth to cap a 97-yard drive as defending ACC champion Georgia Tech improved to 3-1 in the conference and 4-2 overall.
"I thought he played really well," Johnson said. "He ran through a lot of tackles."
Allen had 115 yards on 20 carries in the ACC opener at North Carolina, but he was held to 35 yards on 14 carries in the home loss to North Carolina State and had 63 yards on 10 carries in last week's comeback victory at Wake Forest.
"I didn't know what to do," Allen said of finally getting into the end zone. "That first one, I didn't know I scored a touchdown until I was up on my feet and everyone was clapping. It was good to get that first touchdown and my second and my third."
Against Virginia, Allen had nine yards on two carries in the first quarter and then took off. He had 76 yards on 10 tries in the second quarter and then 96 in eight carries in third, breaking off a 44-yard run. He finished with 25 carries, taking a seat after his last TD put the Yellow Jackets ahead by 19 points with less than five minutes left.
"I still didn't finish as many runs as I wanted to," Allen said. "There were a couple of long runs where I should have just trusted my speed and kept going. But I tried to cut back into a guy."
Georgia Tech's often-maligned defense gave up 376 yards, but 98 of them came on a late TD drive by Virginia (2-3, 0-2) after the game was decided.
Despite what became a convincing victory, the Yellow Jackets still had their up-and-down moments. Senior quarterback Joshua Nesbitt, hyped as a potential Heisman Trophy candidate coming into the season, fumbled four times -- losing one -- and threw an interception on a forward pitch in another uneven outing.
On the good side, Nesbitt rushed for 109 yards on 21 carries and his 67-yard run in the fourth quarter was the longest of his career.
The Yellow Jackets' 477 yards rushing was their most in an ACC game and the fifth-best total in school history. But they were down 7-6 until Nesbitt scored on a sneak with 36 seconds left before halftime.
Georgia Tech had 302 yards in the first two quarters and drove into Cavaliers territory on all six of its possessions. All the Yellow Jackets had to show for it, though, were field goals of 40 and 28 yards by Scott Blair until Nesbitt barged into the end zone from less than a yard out for a 13-7 halftime lead.
"We were our own worst enemy, fumbling the ball and bogging down in the red zone," Johnson said.
Nesbitt was charged with two first-half fumbles, losing one at the Virginia 33-yard line, and had a pass tipped and intercepted by linebacker Darnell Carter at the 8-yard line.
Georgia Tech gave up just 107 yards in the first half, with 60 of them coming on a quick-strike drive by the Cavaliers early in the second quarter after the Yellow Jackets had turned the ball over on fourth down. Virginia fullback Matt Millen went 37 yards up the middle for the touchdown.
A fumble caused and recovered by Mario Butler at the Virginia 31 on Cavaliers' first possession of the second half was quickly cashed in by the Yellow Jackets and Georgia Tech was in charge.
Keith Payne had a pair of 1-yard scores for Virginia, but the last came with just 49 seconds left in the game.
Johnson said he liked what he saw from his improving defense, although he called the late drive by Virginia "disappointing."
"I think we have played better on defense the last two games for sure," the coach said.
After a home non-league game with Middle Tennessee next Saturday, the Yellow Jackets enter the meat of their ACC season with consecutive games against Clemson, Virginia Tech and Miami. Only the game with the Hurricanes is in Atlanta.
"We still control our own fate," Johnson said.

Researchers believe that higher intake of vitamin C may reduce the risk of developing gout, a type of arthritis, in men.
Dr. Hyon K. Choi, currently at Boston University School of Medicine, and colleagues surveyed 46,994 men between 1986 and 2006 from the point of view of vitamin C intake.
Over the 20-year period, they found that men with a daily intake of 500 to 999 milligrams had 17 percent less chance of developing gout compared to those who took less than 250 mg. Those who took more than 1,000 mg reduced their risk by 34 percent.
A daily intake of 1,500 mg was associated with a 45 percent decrease.
It is believed that the mechanism behind vitamin C's beneficial effect lies in its ability to reduce the level of uric acid in the blood, preventing a buildup of crystal deposits in and around joints which leads to the pain, inflammation and swelling associated with gout.
"The identification of the risk factors for gout that are modifiable with available measures is an important first step in the prevention and management of this common and excruciatingly painful condition," says Dr. Choi.
The report was published in the March 9 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.

Bump/normal mapping is to blame. Despite the fact that bump mapping has been around for DECADES and normal mapping since the 90s, a lot of artists have an enormous amount of difficulty getting textures to look natural instead of glossy/plastic. Even a lot of special effects in Hollywood movies still suffer from this issue.
ALSO: Shadow Warrior remake is looking like a Painkiller mod circa 2008.

Ghin Khao is a top value and excellent Thai restaurant on Swanston Street. It offers tasty and well constructed cuisine to keep students and other Thai lovers coming back for more. It does well in a precinct where Asian eateries abound and competition is high.
The fit out is a cut above some of its competitors with funky chairs and cool lighting. The large orange lamps standout.
Flicjk through the large colourful menu that leaves you in no doubt as to the options here. The spring rolls are popular as is the Chang Mai Noodles. Or classics such as Pad Thai or Tom Yum soup. Or order a thai curry or thai salad.
The Thai Chicken with rice is excellent. Perfectly cooked chicken and slightly crispy rice, the way I like it.
The service is pleasant and attentive. These are the kind of establishments we like to find - treasures that offer quick and quality options at value prices and in pleasant surroundings.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The U.S. economy slowed markedly in the first quarter and inflation accelerated, clear evidence of the double whammy on the economy from higher gasoline prices.
In its first estimate for the first three months of the year, the Commerce Department on Thursday said gross domestic product rose at a 1.8% annual rate between January and March, slower than the 3.1% pace in the prior three months.
Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected a slightly weaker 1.7% growth rate. See our economic calendar with forecasts of major indicators.
One of the big stories of the first quarter was weaker consumer spending. There was also a dramatic decrease in government spending, and businesses slowed investments. The trade sector was also a slight drag on growth after boosting output in the fourth quarter.
"Slower consumer spending growth was an important contributor to the deceleration in overall growth in the first quarter, as were sharp declines in federal defense spending and expenditure by hard-pressed state and local governments," said Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at MFR Inc.
Markets had a somewhat negative reaction to the GDP and jobless claims data released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.85% was up 16 points to 12707. The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond TNX, +3.37% fell 4 basis points to 3.32%.
Tampa, Charlotte among gainers.
• U.S. homeownership at 18-year low
If inventories are excluded, there was even a more dramatic slowdown. Final sales rose at a 0.8% rate in the first quarter after rising 6.7% in the fourth quarter.
"Without the buildup in inventories, the economy essentially went sideways," said Sung Won Sohn, an economists profession at Smith School, California State University.
Still, many economists maintain the view that growth will accelerate as the year progresses, particularly if the spike in oil unwinds. They point to a resurgent manufacturing sector and a slowly improving labor market that's putting more people back to work — and putting more cash into the economy. Read U.S. economy in rough patch. Will it last?
"The lackluster economic performance in the first quarter is less than generally anticipated at the start of the year, but we do expect a resumption of moderate growth going forward," said Kathy Bostjancic, director of macroeconomic analysis for The Conference Board.
Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke put himself squarely in this camp at his first-ever post-rate decision press conference Wednesday. Bernanke said Fed officials do not expect the slowdown in the first quarter to last. Read about historic Bernanke press conference.
The Fed is forecasting growth between 3.1% and 3.3% this year, which implies a big pick-up for the rest of the year.
But the weak growth in the first three months of the year was certainly one factor in the Fed's decision not to take any steps this week towards an exit from its ultra-low monetary policy.
The weak GDP report also isn't good news for President Barack Obama and Democrats. Obama's approval ratings have sunk recently because of the slow recovery.
In the past four quarters, the economy has risen 2.3%, not fast enough to generate many new jobs and aggressively cut the unemployment rate.

What Do Pro-Lifers Want From Women?
As a woman of childbearing age, I have a vested interest in the birth
control flap going on right now. It's an issue I've followed for years,
and one that only persists, I think, because the two sides never
actually speak to each other. They get by too often on vagueness and
rhetoric that has barely changed since I was born, 2 years after roe v
wade. It's time for that to end. So, here, I would like to challenge
some of the arguments I hear most often from those who identify as
"Pro-Life", concerning the rights of the unborn. And I hope those of you
who are Pro-Life will present the arguments you do find compelling in
the comments, or help me with nuances I might not be describing
correctly. I will do my best to update this post and address them,
because this needs to be a conversation. The marketing just fails all of
1: Life begins at conception.
I agree. There is no doubt that the cells dividing after sperm meets egg are alive. But... What does that mean for the rest of us? This argument is presented as though that should be the only consideration the law need make. But let's examine that. For starters, this life resides inside someone else. And it is invisible. And the person who carries it might not even know it is there. So, what duty does someone owe any microscopic, invisible stranger? I'm seriously asking, because it's not obvious to me and I want someone who actually believes this to explain how this should all work.
2: This life is human life.
So it's a human life. OK, what does that mean? What is this new human entitled to? The threshold pro-life advocates are claiming is, in fact, stupendously low. It is, "don't murder it." And that is not like the duty we owe any other human being. Even touching another person without their consent qualifies as "assault" under the law. So other things like a forceps birth or a c-section are flat out illegal if that thing inside the pregnant lady is a person. And I don't mean to be harsh about that. I actually have a 1 year old son. And he was not on board with our birth plan, so he had to be dragged out by a team of professionals. He consented to none of that. Now, as a happy mom to be, I was thrilled to do whatever I could to make sure he was as healthy as possible. I gave up not just alcohol, but sushi and cold cuts too, because listeria can be fatal to unborn babies. I even started flossing because dental diseases can cause miscarriage. Now, my point here is not to run for mother of the year (unless that's actually a thing, in which case I'm totally in), but to ask, what do Pro-lifers want out of unhappy pregnant ladies? What they are asking for would be unique in our laws, because normally, you don't owe another person any rights to your body. If your brother will die without a kidney, and you don't want to donate yours, that is your right.* And how will they know which women are pregnant, since you only show for about 1/2 of the 9 months, unless you are exceptionally lucky like I was, and give birth to a toddler? Are very young fetuses not entitled to protection? Will every woman of childbearing age have to submit to pregnancy tests so you can tell where these vulnerable children are? Can they still smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol? Lest you think these are crazy things to wonder about, consider two stories from the past years...
A woman was arrested in Iowa, because she was pregnant and fell down the stairs. When she went to the emergency room, she told the nurses about all the troubles she was having at home (she was unemployed and her marriage wasn't doing well and she was pregnant with a third child... who would skip an opportunity for free therapy?). And because she told the nurse that she had considered abortion and adoption before finally electing to keep her child, she went to jail, on the suspicion that she threw herself down the stairs in an attempt to abort the pregnancy. Two days later, they let her out because Iowa's law against feticide is only applicable in the third trimester. There was no evidence she ever intended to harm her child.
A pregnant woman in Florida was held against her will by her doctor. The mother of two toddlers had gone in because she was worried she was in premature labor at 25 weeks. She wasn't, but the doctor she saw recommended up to 15 weeks of bedrest. When she asked for another option, since obviously you have a hard time supporting your family and caring for two small children when you're not supposed to um, move... the hospital had her confined and got a court order from the county to keep her at the hospital, for the sake of her fetus. She wasn't allowed to even seek a second opinion. She was held for 3 days before an emergency c-section delivered a dead child. Let's be clear about this again... she went to the hospital, was forced to follow her doctor's advice against her will, and the baby died anyway. The incredible things to me are that 1) people commenting on the article still think that somehow, it's still the mother's fault and 2) Dr. Bures-Forsthoefel is still employed.
The lesson here is that, even if you are doing everything right, pregnant women don't deserve to be trusted. This is just one of the abhorrent comments I found about the above story:
"my daughter just miscarried her first baby.. and this ho.. won't follow doctor's orders to protect another human life? I hope they did a hysterectomy on this person.. so she never has to worry about this or waste our tax dollars again on another court hearing.."
That's right... if your Dr. orders to on bedrest and you ask for another option, you deserve to have your uterus taken away after you're held against your will in a hospital, away from your already born kids as you miscarry.
3. Abortion is murder.
If that's true, what are miscarriages? What about embryos who don't survive as part of fertility treatments? I'm really asking. If Pro-Lifers want fetuses to be protected and have rights, they cannot pick and choose which fetuses the law can ignore. Is that how it works for babies? The answer is no. You don't get to have 3 kids, then only 1 with no questions asked. Nor should you. But who will be charged with murder in cases where embryos die? The doctor? The mother? These are legitimate questions that the Pro-Life contingent has not addressed. And I understand that it is much more exciting to go to clinics and try to "save" the babies you believe are in jeopardy, but someone has to sort through these details if the law is going to take the unborn into account. When a born child disappears, the police investigate. When a fetus disappears, what happens? Does the law then presume the mother is guilty? Why or why not? And what is the threshold for her to be at fault? How many cigarettes can she have? How many glasses of wine? How many cans of tuna? Didn't you know? Mercury can cause miscarriage or birth defects too. How about bologna sandwiches? Like I said, cold cuts can spread listeria just like sushi. Will these things be evidence in a murder trial? This is far bigger than any simple sign with a blown up photo of a dead fetus.
I wish there was more I could discuss from the Pro-Life side, but so far, that's the bulk of what I've heard. For many, their only concern is for the babies, and the woman becomes invisible. I'm not trying to be harsh about that; how else can you read comments like this?
"Despite all the nonsense words and creatures he made up just so that his stories would rhyme, a lot of Dr. Seuss' books are good metaphors for world issues. "Horton Hears a Who", for example, I think is about abortion because the whos on the dandelion fluff are like unborn babies: they can't be seen but we know that they exist and that they're living beings. So Horton represents a pro-life advocate and he is being persecuted by people who don't believe that the fluff contains living creatures and want to destroy the fluff. "The Lorax" is obviously an environmental story. " Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?" and "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish", however, are just plain stupid and pointless."
I'm a ball of lint. I'm not even alive anymore, I'm just a piece of real estate with precious cargo. Or I'm a potential murderer. Neither does justice to the very real problem of pregnancy and the law.
|So fitting he's an elephant too...
*Yes, that's actually been argued in court. A few times:

Bob Woodward is an associate editor of The Washington Post and the author, most recently, of "The Price of Politics." This essay is adapted from a new afterword to the book's paperback edition, coming out this month.
House Speaker John Boehner has promised "a whale of a fight." Some Democrats are warning that the GOP could sink the economy. And so begins another budget showdown. How it ends — and whether the U.S. government can avoid a shutdown and a default — may hinge on whether the two principal combatants, Boehner and President Obama, can figure out a way to work together.
Their history shows that may not be possible. Based on interviews with key White House and congressional aides, meeting notes, and budget documents, here is a detailed, often verbatim account of the two leaders' negotiations and conversations last time — during the dramatic "fiscal cliff" face-off of late 2012.

Marie Meng
Cross Country Shows Well At Crimson Classic
Smith and Saloom each posted top-10 finishes in the SEC-heavy meet.
Marie Meng heads into her third season as an assistant coach with the SFA track and field team, after spending one year as a student assistant. She assists distance coach Cody Clark in all distances as well as during the cross country season.
The former All-Southland Conference athlete helped guide the SFA women to six consecutive Southland Conference Track and Field titles (three indoors and three outdoors) during her career. Meng has been a key part of three conference titles since the conclusion of her career. She helped coach the Ladyjack distance squad during the track and field team's run to its conference-record seventh and eighth straight league titles. During the 2012 cross country season, the SFA women tacked on another team title.
Meng (formerly Flores) graduated from SFA in spring of 2011 with a bachelor's degree in kinesiology. She has completed work toward her master's degree at SFA. She is married to SFA assistant softball coach Alex Meng.

Display Your Nerdiness with Pride
In college, a lot of kids had school pennants on their dorm room walls. Some even had their frat and sorority pennants hung proudly. I, for all purposes that I'm a big nerd, never did.
