Over at The Mess That Greenspan Made, Tim looks at other factors to consider when interpreting the historical jobs data in Fundamentally Different Recoveries. He notes that "Economic expansions and contractions have fundamentally changed since the early post-war years."
Further, the observation is made that the problem this recovery is "not the quantity of the new jobs that should be troubling people, it's the quality."
That's a legitimate issue — software writers and auto assembly line jobs being replaced with lower paying, weaker benefit positions (i.e., Wal-Mart greeters and Mc-burger flippers).
However, delving into other aspects beyond employment reveals that this recovery has quite a number of soft spots, beyond employment. As noted previously, our thesis is that this is a post bubble economy, and not merely a post recession economy. As such, most sectors should lag as we work off all of the excesses associated with the boom.
And indeed, that is what we see when reviewing most other sectors of the economy:
Source: EPI
Except for Real Estate, every other economic measure is below the historical averages: GDP, Payroll, Personal Income, Consumption, Equiptment and Software are all weaker than typical cycles.
This is to be expected in this post-crash environment.

Please use the comments to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor implied. If you could repeat previously discredited memes or steer the conversation into irrelevant, off topic discussions, it would be appreciated. Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous.
One Response to "Soft Spots Beyond Employment"
Another fundamentally different aspect of this recovery is that it is the only recovery to occur in the midst of an oil shock. This is quite impressive even if job growth is not.

For over three decades, this has been the best-selling text for the introduction to human communication course. Understanding Human Communication is written with one goal in mind: to provide students with the insights and skills to succeed in our changing world. Ronald B. Adler, George Rodman, and new author Carrie Cropley Hutchinson place communication theory within the context of everyday skills and draw from the latest media, culture, and scholarship, creating a distinctive pedagogy that gives students the tools they need to master—and enjoy—this intriguing and relevant subject.
* New part-opening "Case Studies" present real-life communication challenges on the job, in school, and in personal relationships.
* A brand-new chapter, "The Changing World of Communication," considers demographic and cultural influences and the ways in which technologies have created both new opportunities and challenges in our modern world.
* This edition presents current research on many new topics including how we perceive strangers differently in mediated and face-to-face communication, how linguistic labels reflect cultural identity, the differences between conflicts online and in person, and the ways in which gender influences styles of conflict.
* New "@ Work" boxes demonstrate how key concepts presented in the book can be applied in the workplace.
* Part V: Public Communication has been streamlined and reorganized to give students a more efficient introduction to public speaking. Synthesizing material from previous editions, the new Chapter 11, "Preliminary Considerations," discusses choosing and developing a topic as well as managing communication apprehension.
* A new Appendix, "Communicating for Career Success," provides students with practical information on interviewing and networking.
* Understanding Diversity sidebars address subjects such as managing identity during the process of "coming out," the potential for misunderstandings during translation, and how lessons from other cultures can enhance listening skills.
* Understanding Communication Technology boxes focus on topics related to mediated communication, including how social media can meet a variety of communication needs, the etiquette of revealing what one has learned about others online, the dangers of being overly connected via the internet, and the ethical principles for using and acknowledging information gleaned from the web.
* Invitation to Insight sidebars offer readings that show how the elements of communication operate in contemporary society, including the risks of broadcasting personal information via "sexting," social standards for using profanity, and the limitations of free speech when civil listening is absent.
* Critical Thinking probes encourage students to consider their own actions in light of concepts covered in the text.
* Ethical Challenges invite students to ponder contemporary ethical issues in communication, such as whether honesty is always the best policy, the acceptability of presenting multiple identities, the tension between allowing free speech and the acceptability of hateful language, and the challenge of dealing politely but effectively with obnoxious group members.
* Cultural Idioms appear in the margins of each chapter, helping non-native English speakers understand American colloquialisms while also showing more proficient speakers how supposedly everyday speech can be misunderstood by listeners from other cultures.
* ClassMate, a nationally hosted online homework system, gives you the ability to manage digital content from this book and its supplements, to make assignments, to administer tests, and to track student progress.
* Companion Website (www.oup.com/us/uhc11) with free resources for students and instructors

Octomum's dad reveals she is moving to Australia
Debt-ridden mum of 14 Nadya Suleman is on her way to Sydney.
Octomum's despairing dad Ed Suleman is adamant that moving to Australia is the only way to save his destitute daughter. In an exclusive interview with Woman's Day, the embarrassed and heartbroken 69-year-old says he's already made secret emigration plans.
"People in America hate my daughter and that breaks my heart, so I think the only solution is for us to all move away," says Ed. "And I can't think of a better place for us to go than Australia, as living in California has become toxic for Nadya. She's constantly being attacked by paparazzi and judged by her peers for going on government funding. "Australians are very laid back … they're very friendly and I think our family would fit in nicely there."
The family won't be at a total loss when they arrive, as one of Nadya's uncles, John, lives in Sydney and works in the fishing industry. Though his house is bound to be much too small to fit the oversized family, he supports the move.
"He said whenever we're ready to move he will help us get settled in," reveals Ed. Nadya already had six children when she gave birth to the octuplets in 2009, and having made no financial provision for them, has since faced crippling debts. Bankrupt and with her house repossessed, she reached an all-time low in May when she starred in a porn film to make ends meet.

Life on Mars (song)
|"Life on Mars?"
|Single by David Bowie
|from the album Hunky Dory
|"The Man Who Sold the World"
|22 June 1973
(2013 picture disc: 24 June 2013)
|7" single
|Trident Studios, London
August 1971
|David Bowie
|Ken Scott
|David Bowie singles chronology
"Life on Mars", also known as "(Is There) Life on Mars?", is a song by David Bowie first released in 1971 on the album Hunky Dory and also released as a single. The song, which featured guest piano work by keyboardist Rick Wakeman, was called "a cross between a Broadway musical and a Salvador Dalí painting" by BBC Radio 2.[1] When released as a single in 1973, it reached number 3 in the UK and stayed on the chart for thirteen weeks. Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph ranked it as number 1 in his 100 Greatest Songs of All Time list.
In 1968 Bowie wrote the lyrics "Even a Fool Learns to Love", set to the music of a 1967 French song "Comme d'habitude", composed by Claude François and Jacques Revaux. Bowie's version was never released, but Paul Anka bought the rights to the original French version, and rewrote it into "My Way", the song made famous by Frank Sinatra in a 1969 recording on his album of the same name. The success of the Anka version prompted Bowie to write "Life on Mars?" as a parody of Sinatra's recording.[1] In notes for a Bowie compilation CD that accompanied a June 2008 issue of The Mail on Sunday,[2] Bowie described how he wrote the song:
Workspace was a big empty room with a chaise longue; a bargain-price art nouveau screen ('William Morris,' so I told anyone who asked); a huge overflowing freestanding ashtray and a grand piano. Little else. I started working it out on the piano and had the whole lyric and melody finished by late afternoon.

Bowie noted that Wakeman "embellished the piano part" of his original melody and guitarist Mick Ronson "created one of his first and best string parts" for the song.[1] The liner notes for Hunky Dory indicate that the song was 'inspired by Frankie'.[1]
One reviewer suggested the song was written after "a brief and painful affair" with actress Hermione Farthingale. While on tour in 1990, Bowie introduced the song by saying "You fall in love, you write a love song. This is a love song."[3]
BBC Radio has described "Life on Mars" as having "one of the strangest lyrics ever" consisting of a "slew of surreal images" like a Salvador Dalí painting.[1] The line "Look at those cavemen go" is a reference to the song "Alley Oop", a one-off hit in 1960 for American doo-wop band The Hollywood Argyles.[4]
Bowie, at the time of Hunky Dory's release in 1971, summed up the song as "A sensitive young girl's reaction to the media". In 1997 he added "I think she finds herself disappointed with reality... that although she's living in the doldrums of reality, she's being told that there's a far greater life somewhere, and she's bitterly disappointed that she doesn't have access to it".[4]
Live versions[edit]
- A live version recorded at the Boston Music Hall on 1 October 1972 was released on the bonus disc of the Aladdin Sane - 30th Anniversary Edition in 2003.
- Another live version, recorded at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on 20 October 1972, was first released on the album Santa Monica '72, before becoming officially available in 2008 on Live Santa Monica '72.
- A live performance recorded on 23 March 1976, in a medley with "Five Years", was released on Live Nassau Coliseum '76, part of the 2010 reissues of Station to Station.
- A live performance filmed on 12 September 1983 was included on Serious Moonlight (1983 film).
- A recorded-for-television performance on 23 August 1999 may be heard on the album VH1 Storytellers (David Bowie album).
- A November 2003 live performance was released on the A Reality Tour DVD in 2004, and subsequently included on the A Reality Tour (album) album released in 2010.
Music video[edit]
Mick Rock filmed and directed a promotional video backstage at Earls Court on 12 May 1973 to accompany the release of the song as a single. It features a heavily made-up Bowie performing the song solo against a white backdrop, in a turquoise "ice-blue" suit designed by Freddi Buretti. It was Bowie's fourth music video.
When released as a single in 1973, it reached no. 3 in the UK and stayed on the chart for thirteen weeks. The song re-entered the UK charts at no. 55 over 30 years later, largely because of its use in the original British television series Life on Mars.[citation needed] Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph ranked it as no. 1 in his 100 Greatest Songs of All Time list.[5] He also commented on the song:
A quite gloriously strange anthem, where the combination of stirring, yearning melody and vivid, poetic imagery manage a trick very particular to the art of the song: to be at once completely impenetrable and yet resonant with personal meaning. You want to raise your voice and sing along, yet Bowie's abstract cut-up lyrics force you to invest the song with something of yourself just to make sense of the experience. And, like all great songs, it's got a lovely tune.

In popular culture[edit]
The BBC television drama Life on Mars, featuring John Simm and Philip Glenister, used both the name and the song itself as its basis. The song was used extensively throughout both series of the programme, and also of its spin-off, Ashes to Ashes. The song was used also in the American version of the TV series.
In the British television show Doctor Who, there is a space station on Mars named "Bowie Base One" in the episode "The Waters of Mars".
The original soundtrack of Lars von Trier's 1996 movie Breaking the Waves features "Life on Mars" during the epilogue, although the song was replaced by Elton John's "Your Song" on the international DVD release for copyright reasons.[10]
Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong has said that he would like either "Life on Mars" or "Take This Job and Shove It" by Johnny Paycheck played at his funeral.[11]
"Life on Mars" is included on the soundtrack to the 2004 film The Life Aquatic, starring Bill Murray as Steve Zissou. The song is played as Murray walks stoned to the bow of his boat in solitude as a party continues below deck.
"Life on Mars" is included in the 2005 film Loverboy, first being played on the radio during a conversation between the 10-year-old Emily and Mrs. Harker, and later being sung "a capella" by Sosie Bacon (10-year-old Emily).
Jessica Lange sang a rendition with a deep German accent on the fourth season premiere of the FX television program American Horror Story: Freak Show.[12] In her performance, Lange wears an ice-blue pantsuit and heavy matching eyeshadow, echoing the Bowie video;[12] her character's surname is Mars. Both the song and the performance are anachronistic, given than the season takes place in 1952, nearly 20 years before Bowie released the song. She performed the song again in the episode "Pink Cupcakes" and an instrumental version is played at the end of the season finale, "Curtain Call" where Mars is getting ready to sing.

Sounds easy on paper, but I think Tizen would be a disaster. Samsung customers are like Microsoft customers. They didn't care about performance to begin with, which is why they chose Samsung (or Microsoft) in the first place. Once they learned how to use their shitty software, the worst thing you can do to them is make them learn new shitty software. Look at Microsoft XP customers. MS can't get them to upgrade over a decade later. Every new MS OS release is followed by years of bitching. While quality shares part of the blame, a big part of it is the customers. Think about it, if the Samdung customers were smart enough or wealthy enough to select good software, they wouldn't be using Samdung or MS in the first place. The galaxy S owners over the age of 50 are the one exception. They need the bigger screen to avoid using reading glasses.
Also, Samsung just tried Tizen on some of its watches and it didn't go well. They are now going to release watches for Android. If Samsung experiments with Tizen on the Galaxy S phones, I think it will be very short lived.
I am going to go ahead and guess you have little experience actually using android, let alone a galaxy s5. there are some really nice things one can do with android and on the samsung s5. And let's face it- neither of us know much about how great Tizen can be, as i doubt you touched the watch that had the software. A watch is not a good identifier of how the software would be on a phone. The best thing Samsung could do it to distance itself from android.
How great was iOS on the iPod shuffle? How well did that sell? Let's not pretend that Apple has never had a flop. Great company? No doubts, innovative and pushing hard for the future, i love every Apple product i have ever bought. But you cannot presume to know about Tizen and Samsung's choices regarding the software because no one bought the watch it was on- nearly no one bought the iOS laden iPod shuffle with a screen, and so Apple changed it back.
There are probably more power users on android than there is iOS, because android lets you roll up your sleeves and do some extra.
And microsoft is not even in the same league when it comes to the smartphone sphere, they should not have been brought up in the first place. The performance on the S5 is better than any other android crap i have ever messed around with.

Finnish site Taskumuro has produced an incredibly detailed behind-the-scenes history of Nokia's wonderful, yet doomed, MeeGo OS. Talking to current and ex-employees of the phone maker, it learned that a tablet (codenamed Senna) and CDMA Nokia N9 for Verizon were both in development before Stephen Elop killed the project dead around the time of the "burning platform" memo. The report also claims that the company's decision to develop Maemo (later MeeGo) in tandem with Symbian led to a developer turf-war, that the Swipe UI was cooked up at the 80/20 Design Studio in New York and the team had planned an Apple-esque strategy of releasing a single phone every year. If you'd like to learn more (and about how the original article was translated from Finnish into English in under 10 hours), head on down to the source links.

Emergency Solutions Grants
The Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Program provides funding to engage individuals and families living on the street, improve the quality and number of emergency shelters in communities by providing funds for operations and rehabilitations, provide essential services to shelter residents, rapidly house individuals and families, and prevent homelessness among those at imminent risk.
ESG funds can be used for a variety of program components dependent upon the needs of the community and their Consolidated Plan. Eligible program components include
- Street Outreach, which includes providing essential services needed to outreach to those living unsheltered and connecting them with services and housing options
- Emergency Shelter, which includes funding for major rehabilitation, conversion or renovation of a shelter facility (excluding new construction); essential services such as case management, outpatient health services, and services for special populations; and shelter operations
- Prevention, which includes housing relocation and stabilization services and short to medium-term rental assistance for those deemed at risk of homelessness (annual income less than 30% of average median income or if assistance is necessary for program participants to stay in their current permanent housing situation)
- Rapid Re-Housing, which includes relocation and stabilization for individuals and families currently residing in shelters or places not meant for human habitation in order to move them to permanent housing as soon as possible
- Data collection, which includes funding for the cost of participation in an existing Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) of in the Continuum of Care where the project is located.
Eligible Applicants:
States, large cities, urban counties, and U.S. territories are all eligible to participate in the ESG Program. Once they become grantees, these jurisdictions distribute ESG funds to recipients (local governmental agencies or private nonprofit organizations), who are then responsible for directly implementing eligible activities. All recipients must consult with local Continuums of Care within the jurisdiction in determining how to allocate ESG funds.
Eligible Beneficiaries:
Beneficiaries of the ESG program are any individuals or families experiencing homelessness, including specific subpopulations such as Veterans, victims of domestic violence, and unaccompanied youth. Other beneficiaries are families at imminent risk of becoming homeless due to eviction, foreclosure, or utility shutoff.
Funding Mechanism:
ESG funds are distributed by formula to eligible state and local government entities. Eligible grantees prepare and submit their Consolidated Plans, which states the homeless assistance resources in their community and their need, and sets 3-5 year strategies along with an annual plan for ESG projects and grantees.
ESG grantees may issue requests for proposals that require potential recipient agencies and nonprofit organizations to compete for ESG funds. ESG funds must be spent within 2 years of executing the grant agreement.

Thanking Women of Other Backgrounds Raising Jewish Children
As December draws near, intermarried families in the Jewish community often find themselves at the center of attention. The perennial questions about celebrating Hanukkah or Christmas abound in both private conversations and in public discourse. But a recent article in the Huffington Post about The Mothers Circe, our program for women of other backgrounds raising Jewish children, shows us that despite numerous challenges, many non-Jewish women are navigating their way through the holiday season and helping to prepare their family's Hanukkah celebrations.
Though we always appreciate everything these women do to help raise Jewish children, the article seems especially relevant on the eve of Thanksgiving. It gives us another opportunity to thank all of the women of other religious backgrounds who have joined the orbit of the Jewish community. Let us all take a moment to recognize their heroic efforts in leading Jewish families, their dedication to embracing Jewish traditions, and their role in helping us secure a vibrant Jewish future.
Happy Thanksgiving!

|Thrombosis and embolism in pediatric cardiomyopathy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23429248 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The management of cardiomyopathy in pediatric patients is complicated by the risk of cardiac-associated embolism. This review examines the incidence, risk factors, and treatment of embolism in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), and noncompaction of the left ventricular myocardium (NLVM) in children. The reported incidence of embolism for DCM ranges from 1 to 16%. Left ventricular ejection fraction below 25% or fractional shortening below 15% are major risk factors for intracardiac thrombus formation in this group. The risk of embolism for RCM ranges from 12 to 33%. Atrial dilation is considered the major risk factor. The reported incidence of embolism for NLVM ranges from 0 to 38%, with most studies indicating an absence of detectable thrombus or embolus. Severe systolic dysfunction exacerbates the risk of embolism in this group. On the basis of these risk factors, we propose an algorithm for the management of embolism in these groups of patients.

Denver, CO (KSDK) - The last time Rick Hamilton was in Denver he'd suffered a stroke at 40,000 feet.
Now he returns to the mile high city, reuniting with the team of doctors, nurses and paramedics who saved his life.
When Rick Hamilton left Denver's University of Colorado Hospital, he was thankful to be alive. Now nine months later, in lieu of dozens of handwritten notes he'd thought about sending, Hamilton has stopped in to say thanks to the people who saved him.
"I've been saying to myself all day, it's going to be tough to get through," said Hamilton. "But I think stroke causes that doesn't it."
Hamilton a banking software salesman from Godfrey, Illinois was on a flight headed to Salt Lake City last October when he suffered a stroke at 40,000 feet. The planets seemed to align when a flight attendant noticed Hamilton's symptoms, an emergency room doctor on board diagnosed stroke, and the pilot landed the plane quickly.
Hamilton ended up at UCH and in the hands of doctors, nurses and staff trained to deal with stroke and deal with it fast.
"Rick as you probably all know was treated in 18 minutes," said Dan Meyers, UCH Communications Director. "The goal would be about an hour, this is actually the graph of the stroke time treatments, that's you, that really low spot there."
"Certainly we've never had a case from a jumbo jet, there's no question about that," said Dr. Robert Neumann.
After Dr. Neumann received that first call from the plane, the stroke team went into action.
"On our end our team does everything very very quickly, it's a fairly well coordinated ballet," said Dr. Neumann.
"Probably the most rewarding part of making this trip is to hear that in a very, very, very small way have empowered and helped people who can continue to provide this level of service to those people who fall victim to this same fate that I did," said Hamilton.
So while the handshakes, cookies and pictures are a welcome break from stroke team's stressful day, it's also serves as inspiration.
"His case brought our teams even closer together, we already were very close, but I think there's something to be said for everyone being rewarded for doing something," said Dr. Neumann. "And realized further by working quickly and more efficiently that we're able to produce better outcomes."
Outcomes like the one that saved Rick Hamilton's life.
"So very very important to me, and I feel a little remise that it's been this long in coming, but very rewarding to walk back through this amazing journey and see the people who played such an important role in allowing me to be here," said Hamilton.
Reducing risk and recognizing symptoms of a stroke:
Stroke is a brain attack
Stroke is a "brain attack" cutting off vital blood and oxygen to the brain cells that control everything we do, from speaking, to walking, to breathing. Most strokes occur when arteries are blocked by blood clots or by the gradual build-up of plaque and other fatty deposits. Some strokes can be caused by arteries rupturing when weak spots on the blood vessel wall break.
Every year, stroke strikes approximately 795,000 Americans, killing 144,000, and forever changing the lives of many who survive. The good news is that many strokes can be prevented. New emergency treatments can help stop the brain damage and disability, if you know the symptoms and get immediate attention.
Recognizing symptoms
Few Americans know the symptoms of stroke. Learning them and acting fast by calling 911 when they occur, could save your life.
Common stroke symptoms include:
- Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
- Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
- Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
- Sudden severe headache with no known cause
Stroke is an emergency! Every minute counts
Call 911 if you see or have any of these symptoms. Treatment can be more effective if given early on.
Special note: If symptoms appear for only a very short period of time and then disappear, you may be experiencing a TIA. It's important to call 911 whenever you experience any stroke symptom because there is emergency medical treatment available that could save your life. While TIAs are not strokes, they indicate serious underlying stroke risks and are a powerful warning that a full stroke may soon follow. Getting emergency medical treatment is important for several reasons: Only a doctor can tell for sure if you are having a stroke or a TIA. If you are having a TIA, your doctor will evaluate and treat the underlying causes. Following you doctor's orders for medication and treatment can help reduce your risk of having a stroke.

CINCINNATI (AP) - The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is welcoming a new baby giraffe.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports (cin.ci/1pGdkJc) 7-year-old mother Tessa gave birth around 5:30 a.m. Monday. Zoo officials couldn't immediate determine the calf's gender.
It's Tessa's third calf in three years. She gave birth to Lulu in 2012 and to Zuri in 2011. Zuri broke her leg in a stall at 7 weeks and was euthanized.
The newborn won't be on public view for several days.
In 2008, Tessa came to Cincinnati from the Houston Zoo and her mating partner, Kimba, came from the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, R.I.
The first giraffe was born in captivity in Cincinnati in 1889. According to the Association of Zoos & Aquariums, 47 giraffes were born in North American zoos last year.

SA 'fixing' kingpin at large in SingaporeComment on this story
Singapore – Singapore police said Thursday they needed hard evidence to crack down on match-fixing cartels, after coming under pressure to arrest suspected ringleaders of networks which targeted hundreds of football games in Europe as well as South Africa.
Police said authorities had supplied information about Dan Tan Seet Eng – who was the alleged kingpin behind the bribery of referee ahead of the World Cup in South Africa in 2010 – and that they were working with Europol following revelations that Singapore-linked networks rigged or tried to rig 680 games worldwide. Dan Tan Seet Eng is wanted in Rome as well.
"The authorities in Singapore are assisting the Italian authorities through Interpol in their investigations into an international match-fixing syndicate that purportedly involves a Singaporean, Dan Tan Seet Eng," police told AFP in an email.
In a separate statement, police said they were seeking more information from Europol, which detailed its findings this week after a major investigation, and that they were working with authorities in several countries. The South African investigation is being run seperately from Europol.
"Syndicated match-fixing is a complex global problem that can only be effectively eradicated if all countries work together to combat the scourge," the Singapore police said.
"This requires law enforcement agencies to proactively share information and intelligence so that concrete evidence can be gathered to support enforcement actions on the ground."
Europol said some 380 of the games were in Europe, and included Champions League ties, World Cup and European Champions qualifiers, and top-flight fixtures from around the continent, linking the conspiracy to ringleaders in Singapore.
Dan Tan is the subject of an Italian arrest warrant and reports say he has been accused in German court documents, and named in investigations in several countries. He is suspected of being one of about five Singaporean ringleaders.
Singapore has come under pressure to explain why key suspects such as Dan Tan remain at large, with Interpol secretary Ronald Noble telling the Straits Times newspaper that the small, wealthy country's "reputation would continue to suffer" until arrests are made.
Singapore has long been considered at the heart of international football match-rigging after fixers learned their trade in the local and Malaysian league before venturing into Europe in the 1990s.
According to reports and investigators, they provide money to local operators to fix games, and then place clandestine bets on Internet gambling sites, mainly based in Asia, with potential winnings running to millions of dollars.
Singapore's Wilson Raj Perumal, who claims to be an ex-associate of Dan Tan, is believed to have been a key informant for the European probe and one of the big players in the South African match-fixing scandal.
"A question that really must be asked is why so little is being done to question Singaporean individuals allegedly involved in such a global match-fixing operation," Neil Humphreys, a Singapore-based football commentator, told AFP.
"More pertinently, the issue has not received quite the same front-page media attention that it has in other football-popular countries, despite the obvious fact that Singapore is allegedly home to the ringleaders of the world's biggest match-fixing syndicate."
Humphreys is the author of "Match Fixer", a fictional work about a former striker for an English football team who tries to salvage his career in Singapore, only to plunge into a world of vice.
The latest match-fixing revelations come at a troubling time for sport, after Lance Armstrong confessed to drug-cheating his way to his seven Tour de France titles. On Thursday, Australia revealed doping was widespread among its athletes. – IOL and Sapa-AFP

Open data and open government invariably make people ask questions. How much money does it save? Where is it located? What is it doing? These three online tools help put the overall movement into perspective.
• Open Government Portfolio Public Value Assessment Tool
Open government has the ability to drastically reduce government operating budgets and foster unlimited entrepreneurial start-ups. But how does that work out in dollars and cents, exactly? Now there is a tool to help individuals measure the fiscal impact of a given open government initiative or plan, based not only on traditional ROI, but on less tangible concepts such as overall strategic, social, or political values. The tool itself is not technologically advanced — it still uses a spreadsheet base to provide its calculations — but the service it offers is on the cutting edge of where the open government movement needs to go.
• Open Data Search (http://opendatasearch.org/)
In many ways, Open Data Search is the first phonebook for the open data era. Open data has been springing up in a variety of different global locales. Some of these sites are very well known; others are still in their obscure beta phases. Open Data Search helps users find out whether their municipality hosts open data, and what form that data takes, from Excel to Plain Text to a RDF/XML file. The site aims to keep up on developments around the world and eventually provide a larger hub for all relevant sites.
• Innovation Nation (http://www.govtech.com/innovationnation/)
Perhaps one of the best organized and most graphically sophisticated of the U.S. based open data sites, Innovation Nation lists information about each state's online services, transparency sites, governance models, and transactions per capita. It's a fascinating and detailed glimpse into how the U.S. is slowly (and unevenly) evolving into the open government age. The site solicits visitor feedback in the form of a list of design priorities, such as security, privacy, accessibility, and content management. Most amusingly, the site also "grades" states by how well they are doing relative to their previous performance in this area. The scorecard goes from an "A" to an "F." Luckily, no states received a failing grade this year, but South Carolina, Indiana and Idaho received a troublesome "C-."

LAS CRUCES >> Doña Ana County Fire and Emergency Services Department investigators say a fire that completely destroyed a mobile home Tuesday afternoon in Chamberino was caused by an unattended space heater, according to a news release.
The space heater was discovered near a bed and some other furniture inside the home.
No injuries were reported. Two people had lived in the home.
It took 15 minutes for firefighters from Anthony, La Mesa, La Union and Mesquite to get to the 300 block of San Luis Avenue after being dispatched at 3:25 p.m. A relative who lived next door to the house reportedly called 911.
Investigators spent several hours Wednesday at the home trying to determine the cause of the fire.
The displaced residents are receiving assistance from the American Red Cross.

Looking for the perfect summer soundtrack? Best Coast frontwoman Bethany Cosentino's got you covered. Together with bassist/vocalist Bobb Bruno, the indie duo's sophomore album, The Only Place, radiates the perfect blend of beachy surf rock and soulful lyrics. But that's only a sliver what Cosentino's got going. As we mentioned a few months back, she recently designed a clothing line for Urban Outfitters, inspired by vintage California fashions and pop culture. We recently chatted with the singer about her easygoing style, favorite thrift finds and the inspiration behind her latest record.
Lucky: What inspired you to get into making music?
Bethany Cosentino: My dad was a musician when I was growing up, and I started performing at a really young age, so it's always been something that I've done. I started writing songs when I was like 12, and I just never stopped. It's always been something that I enjoyed doing, and it just works for me. I was never good at math or science, but music was something that came really easy to me.
What was the driving force behind your latest album? Were you in a different emotional space working on this one versus the last one?
I was really heavily inside of my own head when I was writing songs for The Only Place. I was on tour for almost two years, spending so much time away from home, from my friends and loved ones—and I just felt lost. So I wrote a bunch of songs about those feelings. This record is more about real life and the shit that happens to people's emotions when they've been through hell and back.
Where do you see yourself musically heading in the near future?
I see myself involved in music in one way or another for the rest of my life. Whether it's writing my own songs, or writing songs for other artists—I want to continue doing this forever. I found something that really works for me, and something that makes me happy in the process, so I never want to leave this behind.
Did your personal style influence your music, or do you think your music has changed your fashion sense since you started playing?
I don't really think music and fashion have to go hand-in-hand. My style definitely started to evolve once the band became successful, but I think that was just became my confidence grew. I don't really dress up for stage, but I do try and take my favorite outfits on tour with me. I think it's awesome that people like David Bowie, or Grace Jones took fashion so seriously when it came to the music they were making, but that's not my vibe at all. I just dress how I'm feeling that day.
I love your designs for Urban Outfitters! Did you already have a vision of sorts for the line when they asked you to design for them?
Thank you! I wanted to make a line that was inspired by all the stuff that has inspired my own style—Stevie Nicks, the '90s, The Valley, California—all of this stuff that I grew up with. When I was designing these pieces, I also was thinking a lot about the girls at Best Coast shows and how they dress, and I was trying to get inside the head of a teenage girl in this era.
A lot of your UO designs have a vintage, thrifted feel to them. Are you a fan of thrifting?
I don't thrift as much as I used to, but only because i don't have a lot of time! I try to visit vintage stores and thrift stores when I'm on tour because I feel like shopping out of your own city and your own element is really cool. You always find stuff that you may never find back at home. I think the best piece of clothing I own from a thrift or vintage store is this awesome army jacket I got in London with a fur collar. It smells like the bottom of a gross basement, but it's my favorite jacket!
If you had to pick one decade that you could only wear styles from for the rest of your life, which would you pick?
The '70s. I love everything about the '70s: the hair, the fashion, the music. A lot of my style is inspired by the '70s, but I try and mix it with stuff from the '90s, too, so I'll wear high-waisted pants with a crop top, or high-waisted shorts and a ripped up vintage tee with some boots. I just love both of those decades so much.
Are there any musicians that you personally look up to, in regards to both music and personal style?
Stevie Nicks is my ultimate icon. Her fashion sense is to die for, and her voice and songwriting are as well. I also really love Joni Mitchell, I think she had an awesome thing going on—that hair is so killer.
When you're on tour, what are some of your personal wardrobe essentials that you can't travel without?
Crop tops, tights, boots, a good pair of high-waisted shorts, and floral print dresses.

November 30, 2015
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Alabama's voter turnout for Tuesday's election was slightly less than the unusually high performance four years ago.
Secretary of State Beth Chapman said Wednesday the turnout for the general election was 72.4 percent. More than 73 percent of Alabama's voters participated in 2008. Chapman had forecast the turnout would fall between 72 percent and 74 percent.
The 2008 figure remains the highest since Alabama recorded a 76 percent turnout in the 1992 presidential race, according to figures compiled by the secretary of state's office.
The state's chief election official said there were few reported problems with the election, and she labeled it "all in all a good night for the state of Alabama."

Can Hyssop Ease Asthma Symptoms?
Asthma is on the rise, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. As of 2009, one in 12 people in the United States now suffers from this respiratory disorder, compared with one in 14 people in 2001. For help in easing asthma symptoms and enhancing respiratory health, some patients turn to such natural remedies as hyssop (an herb found in the mint family and commonly consumed in tea form). While research on the asthma-fighting effects of hyssop is very limited, a preliminary study published in 2011 found that hyssop extract may aid in asthma treatment. In tests on rats, the study's authors determined that asthma may help curb asthma-associated inflammation of the airways.

Matthew Vasquez aka BULLDOG
Marketing Maestro
Bulldog comes from a long line of Trekkies so it is no surprise that science fiction has always been a part of his life. He was introduced to comic books by an uncle of his who loved Thor and Thanos and that same uncle's original silver age comic book collection of Fantastic Fours is what started off Bulldog's comic book collection (what a lucky kid to start his collection with silver age comics).
After a few years though, Bulldog began to drift away from comics (happens to the best of us… he probably got a girlfriend) until about seven years ago when a good friend of his introduced him to the coolest comic book shop in Las Vegas: Cosmic Comics! and he's been reading 20 to 30 comics a week ever since. He's a big fan of the anti-hero, from Batman to Punisher, so if you ever wanna wax poetic about The Dark Knight, swing by the shop and keep him from working… better yet, contact him sometime via one of the links below.

NFL notebook: Patriots tight end Hernandez reportedly questioned by police
Steelers/NFL Videos
SI.com reported that Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was questioned by police as part of a homicide investigation, and they were interested in seaching his home.
Hernandez, 23, isn't thought to be a suspect, but a vehicle registered in his name is a key piece of evidence. A body was found about one mile from his Massachusetts home.
Hernandez, 23, caught 51 passes for 483 yards and five touchdowns last season.
More surgery for Gronk
Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (Woodland Hills) underwent back surgery.
The operation was performed Tuesday by Dr. Robert Watkins and was successful, said Drew Rosenhaus, Gronkowski's agent.
On May 20, Gronkowski had his fourth surgery on the left forearm that he broke Nov. 18 while blocking for an extra point in a 59-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He broke it again in the Patriots' first playoff game, a 41-28 win over the Houston Texans. Rosenhaus said the fourth surgery was expected to be the last on his forearm.
Gonzalez a 'Good Guy'
Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez won the 2013 Good Guy Award from the Professional Football Writers of America.
Gonzalez, who recently announced he will play one more season after originally planning to retire, has been honored for his professionalism in helping pro football writers do their jobs.
Gonzalez had one of his best seasons at age 36, as the Falcons went 13-3 and won the NFC South.
One of the NFL's most popular players, Gonzalez caught a team-high 93 passes for 930 yards and eight touchdowns, earning his 13th Pro Bowl appearance.
Vikings mum about LB
The Minnesota Vikings are playing coy about their interest in linebacker Desmond Bishop.
Vikings coach Leslie Frazier declined after minicamp practice Tuesday to confirm that Bishop was visiting with the team. After Bishop was released by the rival Green Bay Packers on Monday, the seventh-year veteran told several Wisconsin media outlets he planned to speak with the Vikings in Minnesota.

We are excited to announce the opening of our Adoption and Resource Center at 2807 Manchaca Road!
Austin Pets Alive! saved over 4,000 lives from certain death at the City shelter since 2008. The APA Center will immediately save at least 1,000 additional lives in the first year (on top of the 3,000 lives we plan on saving anyway without our building). Our new resource center will also both increase our stability and decrease costs associated with operating a decentralized organization.
The Center will host adoptions and medical/behavioral care for animals most in danger at TLAC:
- Adoption Center: We will place an additional 650 dogs and cats per year and we hope to grow that number quickly. This center will be the largest of our adoption sites, of which we already have 6 daily dog sites and 4 daily cat sites that saved 2,500 dogs and cats in the last year.
- Behavioral Center: We will be able to rescue pets that we couldn't take in the past because they wouldn't do well at our adoption sites in public places (like high energy dogs and shy cats).
- Medical Center: We will care for at least 350 animals that are in immediate danger of being surrendered to TLAC due to medical problems thereby saving their lives. It will also increase our resources to treat the animals we rescue.
- Community Involvement: With over 5 acres of space, we plan to make this center a community gathering spot as well as resource. We'll be using one of the yards for a community dog park and family picnic area.
As we get closer and closer to becoming a No Kill Austin, we need to figure out how to save the animals that are less than perfect. This center is an important piece to the puzzle.

European Commission reportedly launching Apple Ireland tax query
updated 02:05 pm EDT, Tue June 10, 2014
Regulatory officials concerned that Ireland offered low tax rates as incentive
Europe's antitrust and consumer investigation agency, the European Commission, is allegedly opening up an inquiry into Apple's tax practices in Ireland. The review reportedly magnifies existing efforts looking at the business arrangements of many multi-national companies that have a presence in Ireland, and will focus on whether Apple was given special tax treatment to set up shop.
US Senators, led by John McCain (R-AZ), believe that Apple got an exceptionally lower tax rate in the country for its European headquarters, which helps it reduce its US tax burden. McCain had claimed that Apple negotiated a deal with the Irish government back in 1980 to lower the tax bill of the Ireland-based holding company that manages most of Apple's foreign operations to two percent.
Both Apple and the government of Ireland refute the claims. The iPhone maker points out that it has had offices and production facilities in Ireland since the 1980s, long before any recent corporate tax rates or changes in the law have taken place. An announcement of the probe is expected as early as June 11, reports RTE News.

ROB PATTINSON and KRISTEN STEWART News, Demi Lovato Dating Wish, Rumors Update!
The Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart rumors never end. On one spectrum, the Twilight couple are split for good, just like Taylor Swift's song, they are never ever getting back together. On the other side, they're so sweet together and Kristen is the supportive girlfriend, while her man films in Australia. Which brings us to the latest. The newest report is Robert Pattinson is hooking up with another celebrity. Could be true? Warning Rob and Kristen news, rumors, and updates.
Rob Pattinson a sexy Taurus boy, no doubt is a super loyal boyfriend. He's down to earth and practical, doesn't like to be a player and really just wants one girlfriend. The poor guy was totally blindsided when Kristen Stewart was caught cheating. What should he do? Go out and find another celebrity hook up or look for a regular girlfriend, someone who would be more dedicated to him.
According to Opposing Views, Selena Gomez recently announced Demi Lovato's crush on Rob Pattinson. Our Leo girl, mentioned she would love to connect with "her fans" down in Australia. I bet!
"I always say I need to get down to Australia," celebdirtylaundry.com, quoted Lovato saying. "I have so many fans there and they want me to go and it hasn't worked out. Hopefully I get to make it there soon. I've been thinking of coming to Australia for years and it's just a matter of trying to plan a tour because it would be so mean to just go to one city. I'd want to do a whole tour down there, but it's been so difficult."
Astrologically speaking, Astrochicks would tell Rob Pattinson to run away as far as possible from Demi Lovato. First, she has some personal issues she needs to deal with. Also, she's a total drama mama and we don't see the love connection between the two. Yes, they would make great friends but he would actually be better off dating someone like Selena Gomez instead. Now, that's a love match we would like to see. Unfortunately, she likes bad boys like Justin Bieber and Shia LaBeouf, we think Rob would be too nice for her. Just sayin…
ROBERT PATTINSON News Update, Kristen Stewart Lonely Holiday, Astrology Predictions!
Did Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart spend Christmas apart this holiday season?Although rumored to be spending it together, Rob was spotted on Christmas eve boozing it up at Sun Inn pub, all alone. Wow, sounds like he was spending a lonely night without his girl. Will the couple reunite for New Years? Here's the late Rob and Kristen rumors, news update, and Astrology love predictions.
For many people, they choose to celebrate Christmas with family and New Years eve with friends. This holiday, Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, spent it thousands of miles apart. With Rob, opting to spend Christmas in London with family and his on again off again girlfriend was in LA. It's rumored, Rob's family is not happy that he's back with Kristen, and thinks he should move on after she was caught cheating. Of course, you can't help who you love but they definitely are not thrilled with Kristen's behavior.
For Kristen Stewart an Aries girl, she definitely has independent streak and doesn't really care what others thinks. Dealing with her own personal family issues, her mom and dad recently announced their divorce. The theme of love and commitment, will play out for Kristen throughout 2013. Freedom or marriage? Which will she choose?
Astrochicks, astrology love predictions for Rob and Kristen are two fold. We predict, Pattinson and Stewart will continue to find common ground in the aftermath of the cheating scandal. They both truly love each other and will take baby steps to heal the emotional scars.
With Rob Pattinson a Taurus, he will try to be strong and take a practical approach to making love work. He's stable and secure, he values love and commitment. He wants marriage and a family.
For Kristen Stewart an Aries girl, she's impulsive and wild. She reacts before thinking about the emotional consequences of her actions. Which means, Astrochicks thinks she will continue to hurt Rob and take his love for granted. Not really marriage material at the moment.
We would love to say wedding bells will be ringing but we don't hear them. Our astrology love predictino is if Rob and Kristen are committed to making the relationship work, together we could see these two getting married in two years. If not, they will split by next summer. Happy Holidays!
SANDRA BULLOCK and JESSE JAMES Beach House, Real Estate Pictures Inside $6 Million Dollar Home!
Sandra Bullock's and Jesse James love nest in Sunset Beach has been put on the market for $6.75 million. The home was originally purchased in 2003 by Jesse James BEFORE he married Sandra Bullock. Jesse James has decided to sell his beach home so he can move to Austin and be closer to his soon to be ex wife. I guess, Jesse James hasn't given up hope that they might be able to reconcile someday.
A beautiful oceanfront California beach home, Sandra Bullock and Jesse James home features a warm and inviting living room that overlooks the ocean.
The house is listed by Realtor Chuck Buscemi and highlights of the mansion include:
- The house, on a 40-foot by 90-foot corner lot, was remodeled from the ground up in 2002.
- The home has 4 bedrooms with in-suite baths plus a powder room and a large media room.
- There's a glass-enclosed swimming pool with ambient mood lighting.
- The master bath shower has glass walls, for ocean views.
- A 3-car garage has a built-in tool crib and space for an extra car or workshop.
- As you might expect, the home has a "state of the art surveillance system with multiple security cameras, professional quality video and audio systems throughout."
Not sure how quickly the house will sell, the market is still pretty soft in Orange County. Sunset Beach is a uber cool community and very private. It's just a heartbeat away from Huntington Beach and a fave place for the tattoo crowd.
On a side note, Sandra Bullock accepted a Guys Choice Awards for "Entertainer of the Year" was in good spirits and will accept another award tonight at the MTV Movie Awards. Looking hot in a tight black leather dress, our Leo girl is loving all the attention and the warm reception fans have given her. Jesse James on the other hand, continues to keep a low profile and is focused on rebuilding his life. As the song goes, "Love Stinks" sometimes.
SANDRA BULLOCK, Hot Leather Dress, Jesse James Jokes and Guys Choice Award!
Sandra Bullock made a surprise appearance at the Spike TV Awards last night and received a standing ovation. Looking smoking hot in a tight leather dress, she looked absolutely radiant and probably thinking Jesse James who. She even made a couple of jokes about her marriage, calling it a "spectacular I.E.D. (improvised explosive device) explosion that became my personal life!"
Sandra Bullock stopped by the Guy Choice Awards to accept the "Entertainer of the Year" awards. During her acceptance speech Sandra said: "I would sing but you've seen enough pain in your lifetime. I would dance, I'm a pretty good dancer, but as I mentioned the dress is a little tight.God, you guys are so good at being serious, I love it.
So I would like to do something I've always wanted to do in person which is to thank you. To thank all the men and women that make it possible for me to wake up in the morning free, able to speak freely, to think freely, to make choices freely and to go to sleep safely. And it's because you've made this your life's mission without judging, without saying I'm not going to go to work because you don't believe what I believe, you just do it because it is the right thing for you to do and I thank you so much. So having a dad that is a veteran, I see the sacrifices he made for his country and I'm so lucky every day to wake up having what I have and I thank you guys for that and I thank you guys for this. Thank you so much."
Sandra Bullock our Leo girl, will also appear tonight, to accept a "Generation Award" at the MTV Movie Awards. Living well, is the best revenge after all. You go Sandy!
MTV MOVIE AWARDS, Sandra Bullock or Kristen Stewart, Best Female Performance?
Sandra Bullock will be making her first public appearance at the MTV Movie Awards on June 6th. She's up for a couple of awards, including "Best Female Performance" in the Blind Side. She has some stiff competition. Other actresses up for the award include Kristen Stewart, Emma Watson, Amanda Seyfriend, and Zoe Saldana. Who should win?
Sandra Bullock, who was absolutely AMAZING in the Blind Side will definitely get the fan vote. She should win "Best Female Performance" just for how gracefully she handled her marriage scandal with Jesse James. Of course, Twilight fans will have Kristen Stewart's back but can she really win over Sandra Bullock or Zoe Saldana in Avatar?
Bullock a Leo girl, is the ultimate movie star. Beautiful, passionate and knows how to work the red carpet. Kristen Stewart an Aries, still a newbie to the movie scene, recently said in an interview she thought fame felt like getting raped. Hmmm, not quite so gracious. Maybe Sandy can give her a few pointers. That could be a deal killer for winning the award.
Sandra Bullock definitely has my vote. You can vote as well at MTV Movie Awards. Don't forget to watch all the action on June 6th at 9/8 central. AstroChicks is sooo excited, we will be live on the red carpet arrivals. Can't wait to see Sandy!
