According to Mike Puma of the NY Post, Bob Geren is close to becoming Mets bench coach.
An official announcement won't come before next week, because the team still plans to speak with Dave Jauss, who served as bench coach for manager Jerry Manuel in 2010. But the other prime candidate for the job, Jim Riggleman, is no longer in the mix.
Though manager Terry Collins is believed to have favored his longtime friend, Riggleman, the Mets front office championed Geren, who was fired as Oakland's manager in June. Geren is highly regarded by Oakland general manager Billy Beane, who worked for Mets GM Sandy Alderson in the 1990s with the Athletics.
With Geren on board, the lone coaching vacancy would be at first base.
Geren's communication skills came under fire during his Oakland tenure. Pitcher Huston Street made his feelings known about his former manager after joining the Rockies.
"For me personally, he was my least favorite person I have ever encountered in sports from age 6 to 27," Street told the San Francisco Chronicle.

Neurodevelopmental Laboratory on Addictions and Mental Health
Neuroimaging provides a non-invasive window into the development of the adolescent brain. Such studies have helped identify important milestones in brain development from age 10 to the early 20s, which along with cognitive and emotional maturation allows for a successful transition to independence. Brain development is notably susceptible to alcohol and drug use, and therefore has a lifelong influence on mental health and behavior.
Accordingly, we investigate the overlap between brain development, substance use, and mental illness, perhaps helping to explain the onset of clinical symptoms related to conditions such as depression and anxiety.
In addition to our adolescent work, we are investigating the consequences of emerging adult binge drinking (ages 18 to 24) on brain structure and chemistry. This is part of our probe into the neurobiology underlying "What were you thinking?"—the brain mechanisms associated with impulsive and risky behaviors. Collectively, our goals are to identify who's at greatest risk for addictive and psychiatric disorders, and to develop effective prevention strategies.

J. Christian Adams has been a PJ Columnist since November 2011.
An election lawyer who served in the Voting Rights Section at the U.S. Department of Justice, Christian is part of the rare brotherhood of uniquely American heroes: the whistleblowers. He has helped expose the Department of Justice's failure to prosecute the radical New Black Panthers group, and he co-authored PJ Media's "Every Single One" series that revealed the politicized hiring practices of the Obama Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.
Christian continues to write about the Department of Justice and other legal matters on his PJ Media blog, "Rule of Law." His experience working at the DOJ gives him intimate knowledge of his area of focus: elections. On his blog, Christian decodes the "system" for people unfamiliar with it by providing keen insight into what is happening.
As the title of his blog suggests, the most important issue to Christian is the rule of law:
The rule of law is what separates us from every failed experiment in government. The rule of law is this revolutionary idea that no king stands above the individual before the law. It is the idea that all men are created equal, which is outright radical in the larger sweep of world history. For only the last 200 years or so, this radical revolutionary idea, based in human liberty, has governed us. It has unleashed human innovation and progress on a scale unseen even in the thousands of years before America was founded. Freedom based on the rule of law is the single most important reason I do what I do. I want the country 100 years from now to enjoy what so many gave their lives in places like Cowpens and Little Round Top to create.
Outside of litigating election cases and writing about the rule of law, Christian also enjoys sailing:
Someone who wants to work the gib sheets easily lures me away from all work. I sail "Gosnold," a Catalina 30 named after the captain of the Godspeed, one of the three ships that sailed to Virginia in 1607. I also like to backpack.

While the 2013 part started a run of successes for local prep teams and athletes, the second half of the 2013-14 prep athletic year began quietly but ended with a bang.
The school year ended with more CIF championships won, both going to the athletic program at Huntington Beach High.
Below is the Part Two highlights from the 2014 portion of the school year.
January through June
Boys' Soccer: Edison got off to a red-hot start to the season and didn't lose in its first 18 games. The Chargers went on to capture the Sunset League championship and took a No. 2-seeding into the CIF Southern Section Division 1 playoffs. The Chargers advanced to the quarterfinal round where they were upended on penalty kicks (4-2) by Palos Verdes. Their outstanding season ended at 23-2-1.
Senior Connor Gordon set a school single-season record this year with 27 goals. He went on to be named Most Valuable Player on the 2014 All-Sunset League boys' soccer team. His Edison teammate, defender Ty O'Connor, was named Most Outstanding Defensive Player.
The duo would also earn a spot on the 2014 All-CIF Southern Section Division 1 boys' soccer team.
"I'm really proud of what this team accomplished this season," Edison Coach Charlie Breneman said.
Huntington Beach, an at-large entry from the Sunset League to the CIF-SS Division 1 playoffs, dropped a 3-0 wild-card game at Sherman Oaks Notre Dame.
Girls' Soccer: As did its male counterpart, the Edison girls' team played its way to a Sunset League championship and the 10th-ranked Chargers weaved their way through the CIF-SS Division playoffs all the way to the Division 1 title game. Minus key player and top scorer, MacKenzie Cerda, the Chargers fell, 3-0, in the final to fifth-ranked Santa Margarita.
Despite the loss, Edison made the CIF Southern California Regional Girls' Soccer Championships (Division 1). The Chargers lost at Torrey Pines (CIF San Diego Section), 4-1.
Edison Coach Kerry "Mac" Crooks said the Southern California Regional appearance was a first for the Edison program.
Joining Edison in postseason play was Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley in Division 1, and Ocean View in Division 6. Huntington, runner-up to Edison in the Sunset League, fell, 2-1, in a second-round game to Santa Margarita. Fountain Valley, an at-large entry to the playoffs from the Sunset League, dropped a 2-1 first-round game at Corona del Mar. Ocean View, the No. 3 team from the Golden West League, fell, 3-1, in a first-round game at Rialto.
MacKenzie Cerda was named MVP of the Sunset League. The senior also was selected as MVP of the CIF-SS Division 1 Girls' Soccer Team, an All-American by the National Soccer Coaches Assn. of America, and was named the 2013-14 Gatorade California Girls Soccer Player of the Year.
She is the first player from Edison to be selected for the award.
"This is a huge honor for MacKenzie and I am beyond proud of her," Edison girls' soccer coach Kerry "Mac" Crooks said. "She had an amazing postseason and an unbelievable run. She really had an amazing career here, and it was so great to be able to witness all that she has done."
Girls' Water Polo: For the second consecutive year, the Ocean View girls' team found its way to the William Woollett Jr. Aquatic Center in Irvine, host site of the CIF-SS water polo championships. And, as in the previous year, the Seahawks finished runner-up to the Division 7 crown.
In a final that pitted Golden West League rivals against one another, top-seeded Segerstrom pulled away late to score a 7-4 win over second-seeded Ocean View

Mark Wilson is mesmerized by the Samsung Portugal spot:
A model sits in a chair, covered in reflective silver paint. He closes his eyes. And then his skin becomes full color before his body changes from superhero to soldier to polygonal model to cyborg to Google Map, all through the efforts of a projector and one very creative team (oh, and the model himself, who had to sit still for up to three hours at a time). The effect probably would have been easier to create with green paint and post production software, but there's no way it would have seemed so real. … I don't know if I've come across any art installation that signifies our analog-gone-digital selves any better.

NASP participates in a number of coalitions and partnership groups with allied educational and mental health organizations in order to advance the advocacy goals in NASP's strategic plan. One of these key groups is the National Workgroup to Address the Needs of Children and Youth Who Are LGBTQI2-S and Their Families, which is sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The mission of the workgroup is to support and enhance services for children and youth who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, and/or twospirit (LGBTQI2-S) in the systems that serve them such as child welfare, education, and juvenile justice. Members of the workgroup comprise diverse and knowledgeable advocates including youth, family members, school-based and clinical mental health providers, program administrators, technical assistance providers, evaluators and researchers, cultural and linguistic competence experts, and SAMHSA project officers and staff. The workgroup meets during conference calls and at an annual in-person meeting.
Workgroup members help identify specific strategies and interventions that can be applied within the system of care program and throughout schools and communities across the country. The objectives of the group are to: (a) promote full, positive inclusion of LGBTQI2-S youth; (b) foster collaborative partnerships to increase awareness, promote acceptance, and reduce stigma; and (c) support development, dissemination, and implementation of culturally competent policies, programs, and resources. These objectives align closely with NASP's (2012) diversity, external relationships, and advocacy strategic priorities and themes.
The workgroup has a number of products in development and ongoing activities that include a quick guide for professionals working with LGBTQI- 2S children and youth, a resource toolkit on a jump drive with more than 150 resources, technical assistance activities (e.g., responding to community requests and questions, conference presentations), social marketing activities, and weekly national and workgroup updates. These weekly updates are available on the workgroup's website (http://tapartnership.org/COP/CLC/searchByDate.php), offer information about current issues and news from the field, and share new LGBTQI2-S resources and upcoming events. Additionally, numerous workgroup members contributed chapters to the recent book, Improving Emotional and Behavioral Outcomes for LGBT Youth: A Guide for Professionals (Fisher, Poirier, & Blau, 2012).
The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning Youth (GLBTQ) Committee is part of NASP's Advocacy Program Area. The committee was established to identify actions that the association can take to fulfill the spirit of the position statement on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning Youth (NASP, 2011). NASP believes that school psychologists are ethically obligated to ensure that all students have an equal opportunity for the development and expression of their personal identity in a school climate that is safe, accepting, and respectful of all persons and free from discrimination, harassment, violence, and abuse. To help achieve this goal, volunteers from the GLBTQ Committee have sponsored research into best practices for GLBTQ youth and families, written a number of publications and policy statements, and offered professional development sessions at NASP's and other advocacy organizations' annual conventions. The committee has also developed online graduate school and continuing professional development training; designed and distributed antibullying posters for classrooms; served as a clearinghouse for local, state, and national advocacy events and issues; and collaborated with allied groups such as APA Division 44, The Trevor Project, Human Rights Campaign, and the National Workgroup on LGBTQI-2S Children and Youth (highlighted above). To access these resources or to volunteer to get involved with the work of the committee, interested NASP members may sign up for the GLBTQ Community (http://com munities.nasponline.org/NASPON LINE/Home) and visit the GLBTQ Committee's webpage (http://www.nasponline.org/advocacy/glb.aspx).

Fishing Report: Head out in the mornings to avoid rains, heat
NAPLES - Anglers, email your photos to firstname.lastname@example.com or post them at www.naplesnews.com/participate and we will compile your images into an online gallery that's featured each Thursday morning here at www.naplesnews.com.
Unless you have a fairly large boat -- with an enclosed cabin -- your fishing excursions are most likely limited to mornings considering the regularity of afternoon rains. Not only that, as the morning hours progress and the temperatures rise, the fishing conditions get somewhat uncomfortable.
The best inshore bite is in those early morning hours with snook and reds on the feed. With live bait a hit-and-miss proposition, you might want to throw surface plugs for the snook, and jigs for the reds. If you can come by some fresh ladyfish, try chunking pieces. Both reds and snook will jump on this tasty offering. At this time of year, shrimp are running very small, and you have to use more than one on a hook to coax a bite.
Bay waters are tannic-stained, but generally clean. Water along the beaches is very clear, but that just makes sight fishing for snook that much better. Snook are all over the beaches and around the passes. Reds are hanging around the middle islands and in some bays as long as there is some current for them to feed into. Don't forget to look for those in the early morning -- just before sunrise -- as they roll and gulp some air.
For the boats heading offshore, the best game in town is still the red grouper. A few gags are being had here and there, but for a consistent fishery, the reds over hard bottom are your best bet. Keeper grouper are being landed as close as 10 miles off the beach, but the farther out you go, the better and bigger the fish get.
There are still Spanish mackerel, sharks, barracuda, and goliath grouper out there as well. If you want to try your hand at sharks, then try to drop a couple of cut baits on the outside of a pass on a good outgoing tide. Hang on!
Ten Thousand Islands: Capt. Andy Werner reports very good redfish action down in the Islands. He has been fishing south of Everglades City on recent trips, and has scored lots of reds.
In a recent tournament, he boated plenty of reds to 25 inches, and a number of overslot fish as well. Andy was using cut ladyfish to entice the bite, and he had several nice snook take the cut bait as well. He boated several in the 30- to 34-inch range.
Capt. Werner reports that the water quality is not bad for this time of year. Also he has seen a good number of gators and one croc down south.
Naples/Estero Bay: Snook fishing has been pretty good for Capt. Tim Daugherty recently. While he has had to work hard to fill a live well with usable bait, the end results have been good.
Tim has been starting his trips as early as 6 a.m. to work the rolling juvenile tarpon with surface lures. By 7 a.m., the fish are gone, and Capt. Daugherty starts looking for snook in the passes and on the beaches. Most of the fish are in the 20- to 27-inch range, with an occasional big girl getting in the mix.
For reds, Tim moves into the bay and fishes around the middle islands. Small schools of reds are willing to eat a live pilchard or a piece of cut bait. Afternoon rains have limited his trips to the mornings.
Offshore: According to Capt. Mike Avinon, all offshore trips have one thing in common, and that is red grouper.
Michael had a full day where they put nine keeper red grouper in the box for dinner, and then went to look for some larger action. Goliath grouper were the target and his anglers got worn out hauling four up to the boat to be released. The largest was about 150 pounds.
A 12-hour trip had the "Findictive" out 60 miles offshore to some prime bottom. His anglers put 24 keeper red grouper in the boat and released other fish as well. These keepers ranged to 15 pounds, and they added a couple of mutton snapper to the catch as well.

School nurse to the rescue
School nurse helps save teen's life
Last September, it looked like Jacinda Humphrey, then 15, had just an ordinary respiratory infection, so her doctor recommended a Z-pack of antibiotics.
The high school sophomore had suffered asthma all her life, so wheezing and struggling to catch her breath weren't anything new.
But now, something else appeared to be filling her lungs with congestion.
"We just thought it's asthma, it's allergies, it's a cold, it's flu," said Cindy Humphrey, Jacinda's mother. "You don't think, 'My kid's got cancer because she's coughing mucus.'"
But an alert school nurse came to the rescue.
Jacinda still didn't feel well even after she finished her Z-pack, but "the way the rules are about absences, you have to go to school," her mom said.
So Jacinda went back to her classroom at Denver Alternative Center, where she visited the school nurse two days in a row.
Pamela Neal, a nurse for 38 years — 18 of them with the Wichita Falls Independent School District — sat down with her both days.
The first day, she checked Jacinda over, listened to her wheezy breathing — normal for asthmatics — and studied her asthma history in school records, then sent her home to rest.
The next day, she saw her again.
"It was early in the morning, and it was affecting her really bad. It was not just a wheezing sound. I could hear something in the background," Neal said. "Her lungs were working, but they had so much pressure and were trying to push the breath out."
Neal put Jacinda on a little machine that measured how much oxygen her body was getting. The reading was low. "Hmmmm," Neal said to herself. "There's something else."
She decided that this child must see a doctor — today.
"Her breath was just starting to cut off," Neal recalls. "It was more than just wheezing, more than just asthmatic, more than just bronchitis."
Neal was so insistent about seeing a doctor when Jacinda's mom, who works in the WFISD print shop, came to pick her up that Mom agreed to schedule a doctor appointment for later in the week. After all, who can see the doctor in a day?
But that wasn't good enough for Neal, who insisted that she was releasing Jacinda to the doctor.
Luckily, he'd had a cancellation.
The doctor ordered tests: a chest X-ray, a CT scan, and blood work.
Soon, Jacinda was referred to Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, where she had another CT scan and a biopsy. Doctors diagnosed Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph nodes that is common in children.
Six years before, Jacinda's older half-sister died of pancreatic cancer, so Jacinda's mom shot into action.
The family made regular trips to Houston as Jacinda began three rounds of 21-day chemotherapy cycles.
She has been a homebound student throughout the school year because of her weakened immune system, taking her lessons from a teacher who visits her in her home and gives her several hours of homework each day so that she stays up to date on her classwork.
Four months after the school nurse alerted the family to the seriousness of Jacinda's condition, she has completed all chemotherapy and her diagnostic tests show no live cancer cells anymore. The size of the mass in her chest has shrunk 40 percent. Jacinda was recently fitted for a mask that she will wear during her next stage of radiation therapy that will attack the remainder of the mass in her chest.
"None of this could have happened so quickly without Miss Neal," said Cindy.
Jacinda's cancer was caught in stage 2, long before most children's diseases are caught, according to doctors. "Even the doctor in Houston said, 'Boy, you look healthy,'" Cindy said.
Cancer of the lymph nodes usually grows unnoticed until a child's neck seems to grow knots as the lymph nodes expand. Since Jacinda's cancer was in her chest, it could have been a very long time before any signs of it were noticeable.
That's why Cindy wrote a letter commending Pamela Neal's quick action and insistence on treatment to WFISD officials and asking that the letter be included in Neal's personnel file.
WFISD Superintendent George Kazanas did better than that.
He created a new award, called the High Five Award, to honor Neal as the first of many WFISD employees who make extraordinary contributions in their jobs.
"She probably saved my daughter's life," Cindy said.
The experience has also transformed Jacinda. While at one time her disrespectful attitude led her to a spot at Denver, the district's disciplinary school, now she cherishes life, she said. "You never know when it's going to be over. You gotta cherish the time you have while you have it."
Now she even knows what she wants to do with her life. On her worst day of chemo, she complained to a nurse, who responded, "I understand. I had leukemia."
Now Jacinda wants to become that same encouraging nurse — and eventually a doctor — and someday work with all the wonderful people she's met at Texas Children's Hospital.
"Maybe I could be the next person to help somebody with lymphoma," she said.

Shepherd Caster Corporation is a leading designer and manufacturer of cutting edge mobility solutions for a variety of OEM markets. For over 50 years we have prided ourselves on responding to our customers' needs with outstanding quality, on time delivery, and excellent value at competitive prices. Our casters, found throughout a variety of industries including medical, store fixtures, electronic equipment, material handling and institutional, have long been a benchmark for quality and design in the industry. We have an experienced sales force and international distributor network ready to assist you in finding the caster that is best for your mobility needs. If the right caster is not available among our thousands of standard products, we have the design expertise, manufacturing knowledge, and capability to create a custom solution to meet your needs. Shepherd Caster Corporation is an affiliate of the Colson Group, Inc. and a Colson Associates Company. Colson Associates is an international association of autonomous manufacturing and service companies. The Colson Group, Inc. and its affiliates manufacture and market casters, wheels and related products. Together these companies are the world leader in the production of light-duty to heavy-duty casters. They operate 23 plants in 11 countries
In 1945 George Shepherd had a problem. While playing bridge with his friends and family, he found it difficult to get comfortable while sitting. The chairs in those days were not designed for moving on carpeting. He set out to design a chair with casters. After many years of designing, prototyping and testing, the original Shepherd Planet Ball Caster was born. This began a legacy of well-engineered, high-quality Shepherd casters.
In 1976, the first die cast twin wheel, the Pacer, was put into production at Shepherd. This product allowed us to expand our market presence beyond home furnishings and into the growing office seating market.
As mobility became increasingly important in everyday life, we continued to expand into light industrial, store fixture, and appliance markets with several lines of single wheel casters. From there our product line has further expanded to include casters for the medical and food service marketplace.
In 2001 Shepherd purchased Bassick Casters to expand into the business machine, material handling and MRO markets.
A subsequent 2008 joint aquisition of the Faultless brand allowed Shepherd to continue to expand our product line and further penentrate the material handling and business machine markets.
Today, along with many other new and innovative designs that have been developed for customers, all of these casters are still in production at Shepherd Caster Corporation.
Customer expectations and requirements are met through a combined success of Shepherd Caster Corporation's teamwork, philosophy, advanced technology plan, and a strong commitment to excellence in design and manufacturing. Each region in the country is serviced by an experienced regional sales manager and inside sales coordinator – ensuring a familiar voice each time you need assistance. Supporting this team is a group of engineering, manufacturing, and marketing professionals. Whether it's creating an electronic product guide to assist in caster selection or introducing the "Faster Caster Program" to speed the product delivery, we constantly strive for ways to improve your caster buying experience.
Shepherd Caster Corporation and quality have long been synonymous in the caster industry. Our constantly evolving quality system ensures appropriate controls are in place at all times. We believe in confirming our product quality and integrity with the use of systematic control processes such as SPC (Statistical Process Control). We're equipped to perform testing that complies with all of the latest industry standards for casters including ICM (Institute of Caster Manufactures) and BIFMA (Business and Institutional Furniture Manufactures Association). In addition, all of our casters are given the Shepherd three-point quality inspection before being packaged.
At Shepherd Caster Corporation, we constantly strive to set the standards in caster manufacturing and automation – we are the first and only caster manufacturer to accomplish fully automated assembly of dual ball bearing raceway wheel casters. Our in-house manufacturing capabilities includes cold heading, steel stamping, die casting, and assembly to manufacture a quality product from top to bottom – meeting your need for fast delivery at a competitive price.

Naughty Needles Burlesque
Here's half of the clamshell bikini for the mermaid act in the Naughty Needles Burlesque.
Which reminds me!
If you've volunteered to knit for this, I'm going to be sorting out my first round of requests tonight. I'll have some yarn for specific projects, but this is a zero-budget operation, so any stash contributions would be well appreciated.
To make things easy, I'm going to compile a list of basics we'll need (lots of pasties, g-strings, mitts, some gloves, etc.), sort those out, and then ask volunteers for more complicated items–mostly clothing layers. For those, I'll give you general proportions or some reference images, but you'll be able to do whatever you like within those parementers.
I'd love to get most of this here by 4/14, so I can distribute it all at the dress rehearsal. But that's less than four weeks away, so only commit to a bigger project if you're a fast knitter. (I've got some wiggle room with the date, but it would be great for the dancers to get maximum practice with their costumes.)
I'll need to keep the items you knit, but I can provide photos of the final costumes for everyone. And of course, you'll be thanked in the program (and I'll send you a copy, as well as the promo postcard).
Also, we're planning to sell or auction some goodies to benefit Planned Parenthood of Kansas City, so any burlesque-y naughty knitted donations would be appreciated as well (fancy pasties, g-strings, bikinis, gloves, that sort of thing).

I'm looking forward to seeing how this clam outfit finishes up!
I was just looking at a pattern for a knitted pastie online and thinking how there should be more of it.
I'm mad about knitting and burlesque so a knitted burlesque has me fascinated. I'm going to be lurking impatiently to see the finished results.

The CD I got for my little guy is AWESOME :)
We got this CD in the mail earlier this week and last night I put it on for my almost 5 year old daughter as a surprise. The look on her face when Mickey started to sing her name was priceless. She was grinning from ear to ear. She felt like the characters were actually singing to her. She kept saying "Mommy, how did they know my name!?!" It was awesome and so worth it. I plan to order The Wiggles next.
I ordered this and the Elmo CD and played both for my three year old. The look on his face was priceless. He immediately jumped up and said "Let's dance mama and daddy and Mickey/Elmo!" Best purchase ever! I may have to buy spares since he wants to play them all day long!

LONDON (MarketWatch) — George Bernard Shaw famously quipped that the U.S. and the U.K. are two nations divided by a common language. While the two countries are indeed worlds apart in many ways, the issue of high unemployment among recent college graduates looms large on both sides of the Atlantic.
Both countries present increasingly tough labor markets for recent graduates: in the U.S., data analyzed by the Economic Policy Institute, a think tank, show that the unemployment rate for young college graduates was 9.4% in 2012. In the U.K., that figure was 9% between 2010 and 2011, the latest data show, according to the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
While these figures reveal a similarly bleak job market for recent graduates — in both nations, the unemployment rate is about a percentage point higher for this demographic than the general rate — the underlying factors behind the numbers vary.
The global downturn has been a key driver of unemployment rates across both populations. From there, though, the explanations diverge.
In the U.S., the biggest obstacle students face seems to be rising tuition costs, and therefore, escalating levels of student loan debt. While the high cost of education also plays a role in the U.K., it is not nearly as troublesome as the disparities within the job market itself — that is, where the different kinds of jobs are available, and to whom.
Anglo-American divide
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York states that in the first quarter of 2012, student loan debt in the U.S. for borrowers under 30 added up to $292 billion. That amounts to an average balance of nearly $21,000 per borrower. See also: U.S. college students explore U.K. options.
"My fear for today's student is that employment choices are greatly limited," said Steven Rothberg, president and founder of CollegeRecruiter.com, a U.S.-based jobs board. "They have to pursue high-paying jobs that might not be fulfilling at all, or they are staying unemployed, because if you don't have a job, you don't have to pay your loans," he added.
Rothberg said that the amount of debt a student accumulates plays a significant role in what kind of jobs are available to that graduate. For example, a student interested in going into social services — a low paid but important field — can't afford to take a job in that sector because he or she would simply be unable to live on the low salary.
A university system that has made headlines with its tuition hikes is the University of California. As more budget cuts loom on the system's horizon, the UC Board of Regents announced last month that tuition across the 10 campuses could be increased by as much as $2,400, bringing the average fee to $13,200 for the 2011-2012 school year.
By comparison, Stanford University, a private school, charges roughly that amount per quarter.
Why China graduates can't find jobs
Salaries for China's college graduates are often lower than those of migrant workers in factories.
One student, Alex Romanak, 22, graduated with a communications degree from the University of California, Los Angeles this past June. To keep costs down while he looks for a job, he has moved back home with his parents. "If nothing comes up in the next few months," he said, "I will begin to adjust my standards and cast a wider net."
Still, when CollegeRecruiter.com's Rothberg visited the U.K. recently for a recruiting conference, he brought up the issue of tuition hikes and rising debt.
"I was amazed…at how worried the career-service-office professionals and employers were about [a level of] student-loan debt that would have been rejoiced over in the U.S.," Rothberg said.

The Five Bands I Have To See Live Before It's All Said And Done
I've seen more than a few great bands during my lifetime, but there's still plenty left i'm dying to see. My bucket list of bands is long, but I should be able to cross a lot of them off before it's all said and done. Here's my list of the five bands that top my bucket list.
Foo Fighters :
I've always been a big fan of Dave Grohl and the music he makes. Foo Fighters would be awesome.
Shinedown :
This is one band that needs to make a trip to the area. They'd put on a killer show.
Linkin Park :
They're one of the biggest bands in the world for a reason. They're amazing. I have to see them before they call it quits.
Avenged Sevenfold :
It would be awesome to see Synyster Gates shred in person.
Godsmack :
Sully is the man. Enough said.
Who is on your bucket list of bands to see? Let us know on our Facebook page or comment below in the Facebook widget. I wanna hear your list.

Take away personal preferences or references to "selling out" and I don't know anyone who hasn't enjoyed a party put on by either Diplo, Switch or their violently malevolent offspring Major Lazer. Their choice of tracks is constantly a surprise and very cleverly plays to the home crowds every time, banging out classic anthems or seminal tracks of the moment equally and never falling into the category of being predictable.
The sets below pretty much display this to an absolute tee, the first being when LA layed host to a Major Lazer Block Party and the second the now legendary Major Lazer party at Notting Hill Carnival this year.

Please . . . please stop the madness . . . we've seen enough of Blaine Gabbert. Way, way too much in fact.
How often do we have to endure watching Gabbert show he has no quarterback instincts? How often do we have to watch one bad decision after another? How often do we have to watch one inaccurate throw after another?
Gabbert has had more than his share of opportunities as the Jaguars starting quarterback. Sure, he hasn't had a good supporting cast, but his supporting cast has had much of a quarterback.
And there's more. Publicly I keep hearing how his teammates like and respect him. Privately I hear just the opposite. I hear about his immaturity and arrogance.
Even if he emerges somewhere else as a good quarterback, Gabbert has worn out his welcome in Jacksonville. If GM David Caldwell and Coach Gus Bradley aren't careful, Gabbert will take them down with him.
This isn't about benching Gabbert so Chad Henne can play. This isn't about giving Ricky Stanzi a chance. It isn't about a currently unemployed quarterback who was reared in Northeast Florida and played his college ball 75 miles from Jacksonville.
This is strictly about handing Gabbert a pink slip and a severance check and saying goodbye to him. From where I sit his small group of supporters has shrunk to near zero. They've run out of excuses for him. How could they not?
As bad as Gabbert's numbers are – beginning with the Jaguars' 5-22 record when he's the starting quarterback – what's worse is the fact he has become the symbol of the Jaguars' incompetence. He is the face of a horrible NFL team.
Gabbert is turning the ire of Jaguar fans into apathy, and there's absolutely worse for an NFL franchise.
Blaine Gabbert has to go now.

Roseburg man charged with beanie hat bar robbery
HARRISBURG, Ore. -- A bar patron stepped outside Saturday night, only to return with a beanie over his face and rob the establishment, the Linn County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies arrested Billy Joe Crawford, 54, of Roseburg, Ore., at a Harrisburg home late Saturday night on suspicion of third-degree robbery.
Invesitgators believe Crawford had been at MacEnzi's Bar and Grill, 262 Smith St., in Harrisburg. The sheriff's office said Crawford stepped outside, then returned with a dark jacket and a beanie hat pulled over his face.
According to investigators, Crawford stepped behind the bar. When the bartender told him to leave, he pushed her and grabbed a money bag with a small amount of cash inside before running out the door, the sheriff's office believes.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE -- Four Gwinnett-based companies nominated for the Georgia Manufacturer of the Year awards were honored Thursday.
Ole Mexican Foods, EZ Prints, Elesys North America and Micromeritics were recognized during the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce's second annual Gwinnett Manufacturer's Appreciation Breakfast at Gwinnett Technical College.
"The breakfast is designed to share our community's appreciation and pride for the work and significant impact that Gwinnett-based manufacturers are having on the state's economic climate," said Alison Starnes, manufacturing and logistics business development manager for the Gwinnett Chamber. "It reflects both the support we have for existing industry and our desire to see them remain and grow in Gwinnett."
The Georgia Manufacturer of the Year awards are announced during the annual Georgia Manufacturers' Appreciation Week every spring. Companies are nominated for exhibiting a high degree of corporate responsibility, direct economic impact on Georgia and work force excellence in their respective environments. This year's awards were won by Star Granite and Bronze, The Boeing Co. and Frito Lay.
"The manufacturing industry is one of the strongest in Georgia and makes our work force training program, Quickstart, No. 1 in the nation," Gwinnett Tech President Sharon Bartels said. "Work force development is our primary mission, so it's a true privilege to honor these organizations and work with them to create jobs and wealth for Gwinnett and the state."
Partnership Gwinnett, the Chamber-led community and economic development initiative to promote jobs and wealth for Gwinnett and the Greater Atlanta community, focuses on five targeted sectors, manufacturing and logistics being one.
In 2008, Partnership Gwinnett and the Gwinnett Chamber created the Gwinnett Manufacturing and Logistics Council, according to a news release. The council's mission is to foster an environment that encourages growth, development and collaboration between the region's manufacturers and logistic firms. It also works to promote and recognize the contributions that existing industry brings to the community every year.

I'm a singer who loves to sew which gives me a fabulous excuse to dress up and make more clothes! I began sewing out of frustration at not being able to find the right stage outfits and what started out as a necessity quickly became an obsession. I sing in a rockabilly band and a 50's/60's ska/rocksteady band so you'd be right in guessing that I get pretty excited by retro and vintage inspired patterns.

MR. DRISCOLL: There's astonishing quote early on in your book by Carnell Smith, advocate for male paternity fraud victims, who says, "Enslavement used to be based on race, now it's based on gender." Helen, could you talk a bit about the history of how we got to this point? If you watch TV's Mad Men, you get the impression that prior to, I guess, 1968, men were brutish beasts who treated women like dirt on the job, cheated like sailors on their wives, and then feminism arrived in the 1970s and men and women become equals. That's not exactly what happened though, is it?
DR. SMITH: That's not really exactly what happened. In the old days, we had, in the nineteenth century, something called coverture, and it meant that the woman's rights were sort of subsumed by that of a man in a marriage. But in today's world, according to — I interviewed different people, experts in the field; and one of them was Michael Higdon, who's a law professor at the University of Tennessee, and he explained to me that coverture now is held in the hands of women.
Coverture means that those rights are sort of subsumed by the woman, and men's rights only go as far as women — as women allow them to go. For example, there are just many aspects — if — when it comes to things like children, if a man gets divorced, only ten percent of the time does he get the custody of the kids. Who pays most of the alimony in the United States? About ninety-seven percent of it is paid by men. And there are even fights now over permanent alimony and that type of thing, were a woman can literally, if she's married a particular length of time, can get permanent — or not even that long — can get permanent alimony from a man.
And I think that what's happened is we've gone from a man-centric society, maybe like you were talking about with Mad Men — although my sense is it's probably somewhat of an exaggeration. What I want to point out is during coverture, that men were somewhat held responsible. Of course there were atrocities committed towards women, and there were legal damages and things like that. But now we're turning them around; and when they happen to men in our society, people think that's okay.
And during coverture, if women did something that society — like did something illegal, a man was held responsible, and he might have to go to jail. But now it's turned around to where if men do anything, for example, if a woman says he committed domestic violence, he can go to jail, often without any due process rights or anything. Men are put in jail for owing child support. In fact, Fathers and Families who — I think it's changed their name now to the National Shared Parent Organization — they did a study and they — in Massachusetts, and they found that ninety — something like ninety-six percent of those people going to jail for child support arrears, were men. And they found that men were eight times more likely to be put in jail if they owed child support, than women.
And so something about that is wrong when the majority of people are go — you know, are male. And going back to the quote that you talked about in the beginning by Carnell Smith, I think it's just popular in our culture, it's accepted in our culture, that we can be biased against men, because they're the last group, pretty much, it's okay to be biased against, without a whole lot of repercussions.

Live from Florida, Day 22: Blue Jays blast 2 homers off Nick Blackburn
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- A rundown of the news, notes and quotes from Thursday at Minnesota Twins spring training:
Thursday's result
Blue Jays 7, Twins 4
The Blue Jays teed off on Nick Blackburn.
Rajai Davis drove the right-hander's second pitch into the top of a palm tree beyond the left-field fence, Brett Lawrie sliced another homer to right-center and Darrin Mastroianni clubbed an RBI double to deep center.
"I threw a couple good changeups and curveballs later," said Blackburn, who start was delayed more than an hour because of rain.
"But early on, I'm trying to work on getting my sinker over for strikes and they're just hacking at them wherever they're at. It obviously wasn't fun."
After four scoreless, encouraging innings to open the spring, Blackburn's final line looked a bit like one of his rocky outings in 2010: five runs (three earned) on seven hits, two home runs and one strikeout in three innings.
"They actually hit a couple of balls -- looked like they golfed them," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "But it wasn't one of (Blackburn's) better days. The ball was up. Just got it up and they whacked him, and they've been a good-hitting fastball team, and it looks like it goes all the way through the system."
A sinkerballer whose strength is inducing ground balls, Blackburn started 26 big-league games last season and allowed two or more home runs in seven (26.9%). His rate of 1.4 home runs per nine innings was ninth-highest in the majors.
Both of Thursday's homers came on 0-1 fastballs. Blackburn said the pitch to Lawrie was so low and inside it probably wasn't even a strike.
"If they see a fastball out of your hand, they're going to be swinging at it," Blackburn said. "That's part of their philosophy, and if I can locate my other pitches, then that might have been the difference for me."
• 3B Danny Valencia's failure to charge a hopper -- the second such error he's committed this week -- and CF Joe Benson's throw to the wrong base set up Davis' two-out, two-run single in the second inning.
• In the bottom of the first, Luke Hughes ripped a two-run double that short-hopped the fence in left-center field. Hughes got the start at first base, another step in his push to make the team as a utility infielder.
• C Drew Butera picked a breaking ball out of the dirt and caught DH Eric Thames stealing in the fifth inning. The Blue Jays' final run scored on a throwing error by C Chris Herrmann.
Who's hot
• Hughes finished 1-for-3 with two strikeouts, but his two-run double gave him RBIs in three consecutive games and 10 for the spring. He's hit safely in eight of 10 games, compiling a .370 batting average (10-for-27) with a .778 slugging percentage and three home runs.
• DH Jason Kubel was 1-for-3 with an RBI triple and two runs scored. He's hitting .428 (9-for-21) and slugging .810 with 17 total bases and six RBIs.
Who's not
• RHP Eric Hacker allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits with a walk and a strikeout before escaping with two on in the ninth. In his past three outings, the former Yankees and Giants reliever has surrendered nine runs in three innings (27.00 ERA).
Numbers game
14: Pitches RHP Joe Nathan threw in his fourth straight scoreless spring appearance, walking one and striking out one in the fifth inning. He topped out at 93 mph on the Hammond Stadium radar gun but struggled to spot off-speed pitches. "I think I'm now at a stage where I'm trying to get my slider a little sharper and a little better and get that where it needs to be," said Nathan, who is coming off Tommy John elbow surgery. "(Thursday) was maybe a case of trying a little bit too hard to lock that pitch in, and just got to let it happen."
3: Twins regulars -- DH Jim Thome, LF Delmon Young and 2B Tsuyoshi Nishioka -- scratched from the lineup after the rain delay.
Health watch
• Nishioka has a minor quadriceps issue in addition to an ankle that's been bothering him. "He says he's fine, no problems," Gardenhire said. "But he just came in and said this is probably a good idea to get him out of the ballgame."
• 1B Justin Morneau (concussion) is scheduled to make his official spring-training debut on Friday, three days after appearing in a "B" game. "Probably, he'll be a little nervous," Gardenhire said. "It's just another ballgame for most of us, but for Justin, it's a little different. He's had to sit out for quite awhile. It's always excited for a player to get back into a live game for the first time."
• 2B Ray Chang injured his left wrist or hand while trying to catch a throw as Davis slid into second base in the second inning. Chang briefly received medical attention but stayed in the game.
"No DUIs, folks! No DUIs! Ice cold beer here!"
-- Vendor at Hammond Stadium
On deck
Brian Duensing will get the ball against fellow left-hander Jon Lester when the Twins host the Toronto Blue Jays at 12:05 p.m. Friday at Hammond Stadium. Minor leaguers not invited to big-league camp also are reporting to the facility and have their first full workout on Saturday.
