Facility I.D. Nos. 34341, 34342
Licensee of Stations:
NAL/Acct. No. 201341420015
WWDG-CA, Rome, New York
WCUL-CA, Oneida, New York
Adopted: May 22, 2013
Released: May 23, 2013By the Chief, Video Division, Media Bureau:
I. INTRODUCTION1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL")1 we find that Kevin O'Kane (the
"Licensee"), licensee of Class A television stations WCUL-CA, Oneida, New York and WWDG-CA,
Rome, New York (the "Stations"), apparently willfully and/or repeatedly violated Section
73.3526(e)(11)(iii) of the Rules, by failing to file electronically with the Commission certain of the
Station's Children's Television Programming Reports in a timely manner (Form 398).2 Based upon our
review of the facts and circumstances before us, we conclude that the Licensee is apparently liable for a
monetary forfeiture in the amount of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000) for each station, for a total
forfeiture of Six Thousand Dollars ($6,000).
Section 73.3526 of the Rules requires each commercial broadcast licensee to maintain a
public inspection file containing specific types of information related to station operations.3 As set forth
in subsection 73.3526(e)(11)(iii), each commercial television licensee is required to prepare and place in
its public inspection file a Children's Television Programming Report (FCC Form 398) for each calendar
quarter reflecting, inter alia, the efforts that it made during that quarter to serve the educational and
informational needs of children. That subsection also requires licensees to file the reports with the
Commission and to publicize for the public the existence and location of the reports.
On March 25, 2011, the Chief, Video Division, Media Bureau, issued letters to the
Licensee ("Letters") regarding each station, stating that Commission records indicated that Licensee
failed to make the required Form 398 electronic filings for both WWDG-CA and WCUL-CA for all four
quarters in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010. The Letters required the Licensee to provide information
identifying the quarters in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 for which a Children's Television Programming
Report was prepared and placed in the Stations' public inspection files, and the location of the files. The
1 This NAL is issued pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and
Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (the "Rules"). See 47 U.S.C. § 503(b); 47 C.F.R. § 1.80. The Chief, Video
Division, Media Bureau, has delegated authority to issue the NAL under Section 0.283 of the Rules. See 47 C.F.R. §
2 47 C.F.R. § 73.3526(e)(11)(iii).
Federal Communications Commission
DA 13-1181Letters further required that this information be filed within 30 days and stated that failure to provide the
requested information, or to notify the staff that the Licensee was electing to let the Stations revert to low
power television status, would result in the institution of a forfeiture proceeding and/or loss of Class A
television status.
On April 21, 2011, the Licensee filed substantially similar responses to both letters,
stating that the reports had been placed in the Stations' public files at the appropriate time but admitting
that they were not filed electronically during the missing quarters. All of the required reports have now
been electronically filed with the Commission.
The Licensee's failure to file electronically with the Commission the Children's
Television Programming Reports for both Stations constitutes an apparent willful and/or repeated
violation of Section 73.3526(e)(11)(iii). Although the Licensee essentially argues that the violations
resulted from inadvertence, the Commission has repeatedly rejected human error and inadvertence as a
basis for excusing a licensee's rule violation.4 Furthermore, corrective actions may have been taken to
prevent subsequent violations of the children's television rules and policies, but that too, does not relieve
the Licensee of liability for the violations which have occurred.5
This NAL is issued pursuant to Section 503(b)(1)(B) of the Act. Under that provision,
any person who is determined by the Commission to have willfully or repeatedly failed to comply with
any provision of the Act or any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission shall be liable to the
United States for a forfeiture penalty.6 Section 312(f)(1) of the Act defines willful as "the conscious and
deliberate commission or omission of [any] act, irrespective of any intent to violate" the law.7 The
legislative history to Section 312(f)(1) of the Act clarifies that this definition of willful applies to both
Sections 312 and 503(b) of the Act,8 and the Commission has so interpreted the term in the Section
503(b) context.9 Section 312(f)(2) of the Act provides that "[t]he term 'repeated,' when used with
reference to the commission or omission of any act, means the commission or omission of such act more
than once or, if such commission or omission is continuous, for more than one day."10
The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80(b)(4) of the Rules
establish a base forfeiture amount of $3,000 for failure to file a required form.11 In determining the
appropriate forfeiture amount, we may adjust the base amount upward or downward by considering the

offenses, ability to pay, and such other matters as justice may require."12
In this case, the Licensee failed to file electronically with the Commission both Stations'
Children's Television Programming Reports in a timely manner for 16 quarters. Based on the record
before us, we believe that a forfeiture in the amount of $3,000 for each Station, for a total forfeiture
amount of $6,000, is appropriate for the Licensee's apparent willful and/or repeated violations of Section

This is a really awesome eyeliner! My sister recommended this to me and I'm happy to say that I am not disappointed. It is a gel eyeliner but in pencil form making this so convenient! The colour is highly pigmented and glides on very smoothly. It takes a while to dry, but once it does, it rarely smudges. I've tried it on long hot humid days and it has lasted for at least 12 hours! It is also waterproof (i'm a cryer, so yay! lol). The package comes with a free sharpener too so thats cool. However, this brand is currently available in Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand only. It only costs around 7 USD. I would never trade this in for any of the high end cosmetic brands because IMO this is way better and easier to use :)

In2it gel eyeliner pencil is a gel liner in pencil form, so I was surprised when I saw "gel liner" written on it, so I think it was really nice because the only cons I find from gel liner are that they require another brush to use and that they sometimes dry out easily, so those cons were eliminated. On the product itself, it lasted quite long (for about 10-12 hours before I washed it off, but then again, I was just at home, lounging about and trying to experiment my new eyeliner). On the day I actually used it, it lasted about 5 hours, still pretty good considering it was one of the hottest days ever, but it smeared. It has intense pigmentation so you only need one swipe, but it was super soft so you need to be careful and have a light hand for it to not be too thick. It promised to be waterproof, but it was not. It was close though. It also came with a sharpener which was really great. The reason why I think I would not buy again, was because I don't think I'll ever get a hand light enough to not make the line thin enough for my taste.

Ring the Bell for Dr. Ben CarsonBy · Feb 23 2012
We've been celebrating our latest New York Times Best Seller around here today – America the Beautiful: Rediscovering What Made This Nation Greatby Dr. Ben Carson. Congratulations to Dr. Carson and his talented writing partner and wife, Candy Carson!
Dr. Carson, Your Birmingham speech was inspiring…But..I am not sure it wasn't just preaching to the choir. Your voice does not get heard widely enough. Consider finding a way to become "louder". I just checked test scores of certain schools and there is virtually no reason for optimism. And I believe it is due to a lack of leadership. Many thanks for your story. DM

Terrelle Pryor: Raiders want me as QB
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor signed autographs in Steelers' territory Saturday afternoon.
The former Jeannette High School and Ohio State superstar was at Westmoreland Mall near Greensburg signing photos, jerseys and other memorabilia during a two-hour session. With a wide grin, Pryor shook hands, poised for pictures and talked to hundreds of fans waiting to see him -- all for a fee that started at $30.
Pryor is about to begin his second season in the NFL, and he enters it as a quarterback. He dismissed rumors that the Raiders organization, which selected him Aug. 23 in the third round of the supplemental draft, asked him to switch positions.
"I haven't heard them," Pryor said about the rumors. "That's not even a question. I'm still working to become the best quarterback."
Pryor spent his first season in Oakland watching and learning from the sidelines.
He got on the field for one play, but the Raiders were penalized before the snap and Pryor returned to the sidelines. The game was Oct. 23 against Kansas City.
"I had a whole package for that game," Pryor said. "I was going to make a bunch of throws, but we ended up getting smashed and I was yanked. Who knows where it would have gone• I'm confident I would have been successful during that time. We were down, 21-0, and we didn't run any plays."
Pryor missed the first five games of the season; the NFL honored the NCAA's suspension levied when he was at Ohio State. He also missed much of training camp while waiting for the NFL to make a decision that allowed Pryor to enter the supplemental draft.
He said it was tough not being able to learn with the Raiders during that five-week period. He didn't get paid, and he couldn't have any contact with the coaches.
"The suspension put me way behind," Pryor said. "But the future is bright, and I'm living in the future."
After the season, Oakland fired coach Hue Jackson. The Raiders hired Dennis Allen to replace him.
Even though Pryor said he felt Jackson wanted Pryor to be successful, he's excited about the new coaching staff.
"I'm getting a fresh start with the new staff coming in," Pryor said. "I'm going to learn the new system just like all the other quarterbacks. All I'm just looking for is a fair shot."
Pryor will be competing against veteran quarterback Carson Palmer -- who the Raiders acquired during the season -- and Rhett Bomar.
"The new staff told us that all positions are open, so you have to battle for the position you want," Pryor said. "There is going to be some good competition. Once you get the position, you have to keep fighting for it.
"Like Tom Brady said, he felt he had to work hard every day, like he was going to lose his job. That's what gives him that edge that he never wanted to be behind someone. That quote right there lifted me up and picked up my spirits. To hear him say that makes me work extra hard."
Because of NFL rules, Pryor can't learn anything from his new coaches until the team officially begins practice in late April.
"I can go in and talk to the coaches, but it can't be about football," Pryor said. "I knew the coaches are eager to get started, and so am I.
"I've been working out with (Raiders teammates) Darren McFadden, Jacoby Ford and Taiwan Jones. I'm training hard, and I'm looking at film. It's good to be in there and have chemistry with my teammates. To see how hard they work, it pushed me to work even harder."
One of the biggest things Pryor learned during his first season was about the speed of defensive linemen and cornerbacks.
"I wanted to experience the difference between the college and pro levels," Pryor said.
One coach that Pryor learned a lot from was Hall of Fame cornerback Willie Brown. He said Brown was always confident and supportive.
The Steelers and Raiders are scheduled to play in Oakland this season. Pryor said he'd love to be the starting quarterback in that game.
"They better hope I'm not playing," he laughed.

The pathway to hydrogen cars
At the start of the Olympics, a story appeared in some news sources sneering at the fact that London's new hydrogen-fuelled taxis had to be transported to Swindon to be refuelled, negating any carbon saving they provided. While admittedly something of a PR blunder, this wasn't quite the failure of planning and technology that those who wrote the articles tried to portray it as: the London refuelling station was merely a day late in opening and the taxis had already been booked to carry VIPs across the capital.
When it comes to hydrogen and other low-carbon energy alternatives, it's common to hear sceptical scoffing like this. 'It'll never be cost-effective,' the naysayers exclaimed. 'It's not made with renewable energy so what's the point?' Of course, these are issues that have to be addressed if hydrogen is to become a viable way of cutting CO2 emissions. But getting to that point requires intermediate steps. It requires companies willing to invest for the long term and to develop production and distribution systems that minimise losses and can pave the way for genuinely green hydrogen.
'We're using brown hydrogen [from non-renewable sources] to demonstrate the technology and to improve the infrastructure,' said Diana Raine, European business manager for hydrogen at Air Products, the company that supplies the gas for the London taxis. 'When the market is there, then we'll invest in green hydrogen but we can only do that if the pathway to green production is there.
'We want to prove the technology at the lowest possible cost. The London refuelling station uses brown hydrogen, which provides a 50 per cent CO2 reduction compared with existing taxis. But we've made a commitment up front with Transport for London to improve the existing production line and eventually go green.'
According to rough market projections made by sustainable energy consultancy E4tech, there could be 1.5 million hydrogen cars on the road globally by 2020 and 35m by 2030. How will this happen when battery and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (EVs) are already starting to creep into the market? E4tech director David Hart, who is also a principal research fellow at Imperial College London, argues that hydrogen will target a section of the market that EVs can't reach.
'A pure EV makes sense for a limited range where you have the capability to recharge slowly because it's the most efficient way of converting renewable electricity into transport fuel.' But for people who consistently travel long distances, a hydrogen vehicle would be much more suitable because it doesn't need filling up as often and that process, at around three minutes, is much quicker than recharging a battery.
A recent EU study found that, based on current driving patterns, battery-powered EVs would only be able to replace 50 per cent of cars in Europe. This represents only 25 per cent of vehicle emissions because larger cars used more for long journeys produce far more CO2.
Add to this the developing markets for public transport, forklift trucks in warehouses, low-carbon generators for back-up supplies and remote operations such as mobile phone masts and even internal power systems for submarines, and the reasons for (eventually) investing in green hydrogen production become even stronger. There's also the prospect of energy storage — an undeveloped sector but one that will be vital for managing the intermittency of renewable electricity generation.
Although genuinely green hydrogen isn't yet widely available, industrial gas companies do have potential solutions in the pipeline. Already in the process of replacing production facilities with more efficient designs to cut CO2 emissions by up to 20 per cent at each one, Air Products is also developing plants that use waste gas as their feedstock.
Following the opening of a biogas-fuelled power, heat and hydrogen facility in California, the company is preparing for a 2014 opening of the Tees Valley Renewable Energy Plant, which will gasify landfill waste to produce syngas for electricity generation. The company then intends to modify this design for another UK plant outputting hydrogen.
Of course, hydrogen has its disadvantages. Refuelling facilities tend to take up a lot of space and use energy to keep the fuel compressed or liquefied. There are regulatory barriers because current standards are based on industrial usage. It's also difficult to meter and you can't add an odorant as is done with methane without making it unsuitable for fuel-cell use.
Hydrogen transport is one of those technologies that's always referred to as being just a few years away — and has been for 20 years. But with several major manufacturers, including Toyota and Daimler, announcing their intentions to make hydrogen cars commercially available by 2015, it seems that this forecast may finally have become accurate.
Readers' comments (33)
I hope it doesn't happen, but the first accident in one of these machines resulting in an explosion will set them back years. They are bombs on wheels.
Any compressed gas is a potential hazard and should carry a warning sign similar to trucks.
Hydrogen has the added danger of slow seepage through the walls of the fuel tank, which is another hazard if the vehicle is left in a garage for a length of time.
Think of hydrogen as petrol/diesel/CNG/LPG/biofuel without the carbon component. It works in conventional internal combustion engines (and eliminates the need for emissions reduction systems). Back to carburettors, if you like. A hydrogen economy would remove the need for the world's auto industry to retool. And hydrogen could be produced efficiently by thorium nuclear power stations. The downside is that a hydrogen fuelled IC engine produces water vapour at the tailpipe -- not good with icy roads in winder. But, where there's a will there's a way.
@StephenHarris have you come across ITM Power? From what I understand, their units generate hydrogen on site and have been doing so reliably already (see the links on the far right of this page - http://www.itm-power.com/product/hfuel/). It uses tap water and electricity for inputs, and has been designed for use with an intermittent power source, so if you have access to renewables, you can have green hydrogen now.
As to the cost aspects of it, they have already reported that they can generate hydrogen at below the target set by the EU for 2015 (though there are some caveats to this, see official announcement for those - http://www.itm-power.com/news-item/update-on-hydrogen-cost-structure/)
Seems to me that being able to generate the hydrogen cleanly on demand and on site is a much more elegant solution than having it centrally produced and then transported to filling stations.
Why don't you research HHO/Brown's Gas systems? You can put this on your car TODAY - have a look at www.palefuelsystems.co.uk
I saw one installed on a Jense last week in Leeds - went from 14mpg to 18mpg!! I'll be getting one installed soon to an audi a6. Cost just over a grand and payback under 6 months. AND it's not storing hydrogen but producing it on demand
The worst thing about using pressurized hydrogen is that it has a negative Joule-Thompson coefficient. This means that as it expands it heats up. If the hydrogen is under substantial pressure, any small leak of hydrogen will heat up enough to set itself on fire. Also, the resulting flame jet is almost colorless and difficult to see unless it hits something. I have fought many of these fires at a refinery in know this to be fact.
Unless they have somehow already overcome this problem, this strikes me as being a particularly dangerous alternative to more conventional systems. Compressed natural gas is a much better choice.
All cars already produce water vapour at the tail pipe so that is hardly a valid objection. As for worrying about slow seepage of H2 from you fuel tank, don't, it will escape far quicker from your garage than it could ever build up.
Hydrogen IS the way forawrd, provided it can be generated cleanly and efficiently. Why not, in place of massive wind-farms offshore, have a barrage of generators producing hydrogen by electrolysis of sea-water -pumped/cooled into barges and then towed ashore for storage/distribution?
Little or no change to the existing oil-based transport energy structure, and absolutely green.
If hydrogen is stored as a hydride or in a carbon nanotube matrix, it won't be dangerous. Additionally, we won't need the catalyst industry and all the energy needed to refine the precious metals in them. As long as the performance and the filling network becomes availabe eventually, there should be acceptance. Don't forget that we used to buy petrol from pharmacies.
Not mentioned:
Hydrogen, when released into the atmosphere combines with hydroxyls that otherwise would scrub CH4 from the air. And methane is 28X worse than CO2 as a GWG.
Why not consider using H-O-O instead of straight hydrogen? You'd get higher heat and efficiency.
Why not use offshore wind turbines to create hydrogen from water, store it offshore, and have tankers periodically transport it. That would eliminate grid upgrading and overcapacity problems.
EV problem:
Not discussed is that many of the advanced batteries require rare earth elements (REE) 97% monopolized by China. The manner in which China mines and refines REEs is extremely toxic to the environment, thus, you're shifting from CO2 emissions to more radioactive thorium emissions.
And using a limited REE supply for EVs means less REE for other perhaps more valuable equipment.
Journalists should consider the whole issue, not just a selective part.
A valid point. The question is, as with nuclear power, whether we need to accept a different environmentally damaging solution if it's the only realistic way of heading off the pressing issue of cutting CO2 emissions and tackling climate change.

I also use L'Oreal Voluminous mascara. I've tried a few upscale mascara brands, but I just can't see any difference between the drugstore and luxury mascaras. There's just some make-up that I can't see paying more for and mascara is one.
Recently, I've stopped curling my lashes, which I know every make-up artist says is super important. I have straight lashes with kind of a hooded lid and it's impossible to keep my lashes curled, regardless of what kind of curler I use or if I curl before or after mascara. It just doesn't work for me, so I stopped and my lashes seem thicker for it. Maybe I was pulling a few out with the curling.
I take all my make-up off with Equate make-up removing wipes. They're quilted wipes with make-up remover in them and they really take all mine off. I don't ever use waterproof mascara (which I've heard helps curl stay in the lash, but it's too hard for me to take off and I don't care for it), so the wipes take my make-up off just fine. I stopped using liquid eye-make up remover because I can get everything off with the wipes and I had to use a ton of liquid remover compared to just one wipe. I did like the Lancome Bi-Facil Double Action eye make-up remover when I used liquid remover, though. It was just too pricey for the amount I had to use each time at $26 a bottle.

We describe a novel approach to inferring 3D curves from perspective drawings in an interactive design tool. Our methods are based on a traditional design drawing style known as Analytic drawing, which supports precise image-space construction of a linear 3D scaffold. This scaffold in turn acts as a set of visual constraints for sketching 3D curves. We implement analytic drawing techniques in a pure-inference sketching interface which supports both single and multi-view incremental construction of complex scaffolds and curve networks. A new representation of 3D drawings is proposed, and useful interactive drawing aids are described. Novel techniques are presented for deriving constraints from single-view sketches drawn relative to the current 3D scaffold, and then inferring 3D line and curve geometry which satisfies these constraints. The resulting analytic drawing tool allows 3D drawings to be constructed using exactly the same strokes as one would make on paper.

Within hours of Narendra Modi's address to a rally in Faizabad where he invoked Lord Ram, the Election Commission sought a report from the district authorities about his speech and the stage backdrop.
"I have sought a report on Modi's speech and backdrop of the stage at the rally from District Magistrate, Faizabad," Uttar Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer Umesh Sinha told PTI.
Modi addressed a rally in Faizabad in support of party candidate Lallu Singh from a stage which had pictures of Lord Ram and the proposed Ram Temple model in Ayodhya.
At the rally, the BJP PM candidate skirted any reference to his party's pet theme of building Ram temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya, which is part of the district and epicentre of Ram Mandir movement, but made several references to Lord Ram to exhort people to defeat Congress, SP and BSP and support BJP.
Modi had earlier courted trouble when he was booked for violating electoral laws after he delivered a politically charged speech and displayed his party's symbol 'lotus' soon after voting in Gandhinagar on April 30.
He was slated to address rallies in Ambedkarnagar, Faizabad, Jaunpur, Kaushambi and Amethi districts of Uttar Pradesh on the last day of campaigning for the 8th phase.
Come on. Modi ji is above law.
As per filed info in Varanasi, he only spent 6 lakh on election campaign despite huge hordings all over city, meetings organized in big hotels, distributing saris etc.
He is old style, larger than life politician. Unfortunately, the time for him and others like him is over.
These politicians think that people will keep ignoring their unlawful activities since people are scared of political gundas/criminals.
But now aam aadmi has woken up. Beware !!!!

Fort Collins residential real estate market set a new record for total dollar volume in the first three months of the year.
The 731 sales closed at an average price of $268,406 led to a total volume of $196 million well above the previous record of $177 million in the first quarter of 2005. These industry figures are for all single-family homes sold in the Fort Collins area, including all of Larimer County north of County Road 32. Sales within the city of Fort Collins accounts for about 85 percent of the total area sales.
Driven by continued sub-4 percent mortgage interest rates, an improving economy and pent-up demand, buyers are causing a critical shortage of home inventory. A market balanced between supply and demand is generally considered to be a six month supply of available homes.
For comparison, the last our market was this active came in 2005, when there were more than 2,500 active listings. At the end of this March, there were just 1,131 homes on the market only 604 of which were not under contract and to be built.
With a projected demand of more than 300 homes per month, this is the equivalent of a two-month supply. This lack of supply is evidenced by a 6.7 percent increase in average home sale price from last year and a sharp reduction in the average amount of time a home remains on the market before receiving an offer.
Area homes are staying on the market an average of 64 days, with resale homes priced at less than $300,000 staying on the market an average of only 55 days.
Also, new home construction which has normally been 20-25 percent of the area housing supply is starting to rebound.
In the last three years, the number of new homes on the market dropped to just 10 percent of the total supply. In the first quarter of this year, 127 new homes sold, a welcome 17 percent of total sales. Still, the sale of 40 new homes per month is not going to meet demand.
The other help will come from sellers entering the market, encouraged by higher selling prices. In just the first few weeks of April we have gained almost 10 percent more inventory in spite of active demand. The only issue here is that if that seller turns around to buy another area home, there is no net change in inventory.
We certainly dont want to encourage people to move away, but other than new construction, its the only way we gain inventory.
Its an exciting market, but time will tell if there will be enough homes to meet area demand while avoiding a double-digit percentage increase to sale prices.

Change you can believe in.
It appears now most people will understand what the President was telling reporters, "the private sector's doing fine"... meaning ADP reports private job addition in the range of 150,000, but BLS comes out and says only about half of it, leaving equal numbers lost in the public sector.
What can any candidate do to stop the bleeding of jobs in the public sector? Romney is a "Firing Chief", that's the "Bain Way"!!
Sorry for that last post at 10:43. I am drunk.
This is what happens when you squander the opportunity to pull the country together and instead spend your political capital on giveaways for your political friends and ram through an over complicated, over burdensome program to hijack 16% of the economy, plus take every opportunity you can find to bash job creators and make wealth creation unappealing.
Yes, Obama inherited a mess but that's why you run for office, to fix the things that are not working. He took a machine that had gotten some sand in the gears and poured in molasses to try to get it moving then spent the rest of the time spray painting various components to make them look nice. He's the wrong guy for the job and the sooner we move on the better off we'll all be, including those poor souls who must twist themselves in knots to try to defend him like all the former Hillary supporters.
The FED circles around the dollar. Washington circles around the FED. And in this current environment, the rest of the world circles around Washington. Some say, Washington cannot affect anything. Some say, Washington just should to less. Some say, Washington just does the opposite of what it should. This is a "Dollar System", dollars can be tracked, spreadsheets can be built, and the effect can be found. Being pretty or praying to a God are actionthat affect these circles can be identified. Obama is sure doing a lousy job. But the right surly wants of hang us.
Current problem was caused by Ronald Regan by being pretty. By moving housing out of inflation calculation and the prime to assist inflation control. This is being pretty and allowed the effect of the Housing Bubble to be hidden. All that were elected only look at pretty. Support only the ones that only look for pain.
A forgot to sign 11:28
A good example of pretty, for Money News and Peter Schiff, he is predicting 50% unemployment, 90% stock market drop and 100% annual inflation. But with 100% annual inflation, debt is gone and unemployment is exceeding maximum. The only way the employment does not maximum out afterword is that the government was being pretty and not let the people work.
@ paofpa, you talk pretty today =:~)
Kidding aside, while not artfully phrased, I think you hit the nail on the head,
The economy lost 45 jobs per month in Q32010? That number looks like someone didn't edit the article.
The private sector is doing fine.
Obama: The economy sucks because of Bush, but it coulda been worse.
Romney: The economy sucks because of Obama and it shoulda been better.
Neither Party is worth a pile of snail snot. They are both equally worthless. When are you maggots going to get your head out of your a–es and understand this. It isn't rocket science. Now straighten yourselves up go out there and think once in awhile you mind numbed nut jobs. You've been sc–wed so much you don't even feel it anymore. Wale up America
I like the old Sarge and his lilting language. Reality is that REAL unemployment is nearly 26 percent counting all the people that should be in the stats but have given up looking and all the illegals jobs that were in the economy but aren't now. Everybody knows and feels it. These are just government game stats, don't believe them. They are wall street market manipulator tools for the day traders to scoop up cash on with their computer trading blocs. More rigged games. Sarge, good on ya mate.
This is what you get when the fascist foreign owned fraud FED and the turbo tax cheat run treasury collude with their bought and paid for pimp politicians. Weak dollars and massive trillions in debt will do this to you. Vote all incumbents out! Did Geithner die? I don't remember burying him? He's as quiet as a mouse for many months now. The mad paperhanger Bernanke, the shiil for pillaging banksters is printing more worthless fiat dollars daily, It won't get better. These two enablers and Americans in name only belong in San Quentin where "Lonely Bubba" will do to them what they have done to the country. Sedition is their mantra. Audit and abolish the opaque FED. We're are close to a major world currency crisis because of
these crazy corrupt central banks.
Congress must take immediate and decisive action to enforce capital markets that encourage U.S. corporations and investors to deploy their more than $4 trillion dollars in cash to create more jobs here in the U.S.
The private sector can create jobs faster than the government with efficient access to capital, but the government must ensure capital markets are worthy of the public's trust.
Please sign the petition to the U.S. Senate Banking and House Financial Services Committee asking for improved oversight of federal banking and market regulators that have proven ineffective at not only detecting inappropriate behavior, but also preventing such behavior from hindering job creation and economic growth.

It'll just take a minute!
Right on Sarge!
A lack of regulation on Wall Street and with the Big Banks is what caused this crisis. Everyone whines about the Big Bailout without remembering the reason there was a Big Bailout. The richest of the rich cause the problem and then step back and watch the rest of us fight with each other. It's a beautiful plan if you can get away with it.
Welcome to the FED ZOMBIE economy. It's a hell you won't get out of - AKA Japan.
Japan and Germany have pride, they will never print paper. Do we have pride; or do we have the gall to print our way to full employment?
Last week supporters of Federal Reserve transparency had a major victory when the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform passed my Audit the Fed bill, HR 459 unanimously with all major audit provisions intact. This clears the way for a House floor vote expected sometime in late July, and with a whopping 263 cosponsors, the chances of it passing have never looked better! This is an unprecedented opportunity for transparency into how the currency of the United States is handled, and mishandled by the Federal Reserve. It is more important than ever that my colleagues in the House and Senate understand what this legislation does and why it is so important.
The Federal Reserve is an enormously destructive and unaccountable force in both the U.S. economy and the greater global economy. Federal Reserve policies affect average Americans far more than fiscal, spending, and tax policies legislated by Congress; indeed the Fed "spends" more than Congress when it creates trillions of new dollars on its balance sheet to bail out favored financial institutions.
For several decades the Fed has relentlessly increased the supply of U.S. dollars (both real and electronic) and kept interest rates artificially low. These monetary policies punish thrift, erode the value of savings, and harm older Americans living on fixed incomes and the poor. The Fed's expansion of the money supply, combined with artificially low interest rates, creates destructive cycles of malinvestment. This results in housing, stock market, and employment booms and busts that destroy lives.
While the Fed was created by Congress, current law prohibits Congress from fully auditing the Fed's monetary policy – the Fed actions that impact Americans the most. The Fed's financial statements are audited annually, but the Fed's monetary policy operations are exempt from audit. Congress' investigative arm, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), currently is prohibited by law from examining discount window and open market operations; agreements with foreign governments and central banks; and Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) directives. It is precisely this information that should be made public.
The audit mandated in the Dodd-Frank Act focused solely on emergency credit programs, and only on procedural issues rather than focusing on the substantive details of the lending transactions. Most of the data on its other activities, such as open market operations and discount window lending, have only been published as a result of lawsuits—not because of Congressional action. Dodd-Frank requires this information to be disclosed going forward, but with a two year time lag and with GAO restricted to auditing only the procedural components of any programs. H.R. 459 grants GAO and Congress access without special exemptions and ensures that ALL of the Fed's lending actions will be subject to oversight.
Also, given the Fed's establishment of dollar swap agreements with foreign central banks (which lent up to $600 billion at a time in 2008), and the increasing economic uncertainty surrounding Spain, Greece and the European Union, the Fed's continued financial assistance to Europe should not be exempt from public accountability and Congressional oversight. H.R. 459 brings transparency to the Fed's agreements with the European Central Bank and other foreign entities.
H.R. 459 does not limit the focus of the audit, making a full audit finally possible. An entity that controls the value and purchasing power of the dollar should not be permitted to operate in the dark without oversight by Congress and accountability to the people. The Fed needs transparency and H.R. 459 would provide it. We now have this opportunity to ensure solid passage of HR 459 on the House floor, then the Senate floor and have it promptly signed into law.
Terrible times for people, great for the fed's banker friends. Stealing is very profitable. Bernanke is like Jimmy in Goodfelas!
If the private sector is doing just fine according to the propagandist in chief, then we are talking about more Fed stimulus efforts to prop up govt. jobs right? Sounds like Jimmy Carter logic to me.
Q2 was not the "worst quarter" of job growth since the recovery began. This is purely a function of the arbitrary foolishness of seasonal adjustments. Actual jobs created in Q2 based on the establishment survey actual raw not seasonally finagled data was 2.108 million. Q2 2011 was 2.069 million. 2010 was the bungee rebound year with 3.979 million, but the last 2 years have shown steady growth, slightly higher than the growth rate of population.
This is just another example of the shoddy, misleading, politically motivated propaganda that Rupert Murdoch and Company have raised to a high art. If the facts don't suit your case, just ignore them. Here are the facts http://wallstreetexaminer.com/2012/07/06/shhh-dont-tell-anyone-but-job-gains-are-actually-accelerating/
WSJ reporters are fond of using the word "clearly" when stating their unsubstantiated and incorrect opinions. Any time you see that word in a blog post, go an check out the actual facts, because, it "clearly" means that they are lying or at least making a tacit admission that they don't know the facts. "Clearly", my you know what.

Cork is harvested from the bark of the cork oak tree, which can be safely taken every nine years. Most cork flooring material is made up of remnants from the bottle stopper industry, which further enhances its sustainability. MAIN PHOTO COURTESY OF RON POLLARD, COURTESY OF RNL
Cork flooring is making a comeback. Once prominent in the early 1900s, its popularity waned as it was replaced with sheet vinyl and linoleum. However, due to its sustainability and competitive pricing, cork is once again becoming a popular choice.
"Historically, cork has been used in courtrooms, museums, art galleries, libraries, restaurants, and a variety of commercial and residential spaces," explains Christopher Capobianco, president of Christopher Collaborative Inc. "Today, the uses are even more widespread than that – corporate offices, schools, and beyond."
Cork flooring isn't made up of highly technical chemical compounds, but instead of the bark of the cork oak tree, native to the Mediterranean. The bark can be safely harvested from the tree every nine years without damaging the tree.
Adding to the sustainability factor is that most of the cork in cork flooring is reclaimed. "Cork flooring is typically made from the reclaimed waste of bottle stopper manufacturing," explains Patty Thwaites, LEED AP Interior Designer for RNL, a multi-disciplined architecture, interior design, and engineering firm. "Because cork flooring is typically made from recycled post-industrial material, this is a fantastic example of 'up-cycling.'"
Comfort and Insulation Benefits
In addition to sustainability, cork flooring provides comfort and insulation benefits. According to Capobianco, this is due to cork's unique cellular structure, which is composed of at least 50% air.
"The use of cork flooring provides comfort and reduces stress on the body because the material is very resilient and warm," explains Thwaites. "It has excellent acoustical properties, absorbing sound within rooms and reducing sound transfer."
Cork flooring can also benefit a space's indoor air quality. "It is an excellent choice for indoor environmental quality because it is low-emitting (no VOCs) and naturally hypo-allergenic, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal," she says.
Caring for Cork
"Although classified as resilient flooring, cork floors are a lot like wood floors when it comes to handling, installation, and finishing," says Capobianco. "So, like other natural materials, they should not be used where there will be a lot of water or sunlight."
While it has antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties, excessive moisture and harsh cleaning materials will deteriorate the material. "Like any floor, a good matting program will keep dirt off the floor, proper protection of furniture and chairs will prevent damage, and protection from sunlight will prevent fading," advises Capobianco. "Regular sweeping and damp mopping keeps the surface from wearing or scratching. Do not use a lot of water."
Price and Durability
In terms of price and durability, cork flooring is comparable to wood flooring and other resilient flooring options. "Cork is extremely durable when properly maintained," Thwaites says. "There are several examples of installations over 50 years old that are still in beautiful condition – the Library of Congress, U.S. Department of Commerce Building in Washington, DC, St. Mary of the Lake Chapel near Chicago, and Lafayette College in Easton, PA; there is a range in price, but like many things, you get what you pay for."
Cork flooring can also add a unique design element to a space, as it has a unique aesthetic and is available in multiple patterns and colors. Like linoleum, vinyl, and other resilient flooring materials, it can be installed with decorative inlays.
Assuming your budget will allow for cork, it can be a viable – or better – alternative to wood or other resilient flooring.
"For buildings where sustainability, comfort, acoustics, and indoor air quality are design priorities, cork is a good choice," says Thwaites. "But you must be willing to commit to proper care and maintenance to achieve long-term durability."

Thank you for allowing QualitySmith to assist you. Come back and see us again soon!
A back yard is just a back yard until you add a special water feature like a swimming pool, hot tub or spa. swimming pool contractors and pool builders can help you take your back yard from boring to spectacular in a short amount of time, and at surprisingly affordable rates.
Types Of Hot Tubs And Spas
Hot tubs and spas come in all sizes and shapes. You can get large ones that are perfect for big gatherings, or smaller, more intimate hot tubs that can give you some peaceful relaxation during downtime.
Swimming Pools For Every Setting And Budget
Swimming pool contractors and builders have swimming pools available that will fit in nearly any back yard setting. Whether you are interested in a simple above-ground pool for quick cool offs, or a permanent, in-ground pool, the design options are limitless.
Above ground pools are the least expensive to buy, however they also have the shortest life span. In-ground pools come in many shapes, and can be painted or tiled to suit your design preferences. Permanent spas and hot tubs can be installed alongside swimming pools to create an inviting setting for fun and relaxation.
Decking, water features and landscaping are an important part of your back yard oasis, so be sure to research your options before settling on a design. You might just forgo that next expensive vacation, and stay at home relaxing in your new swimming pool and hot tub!

I am trying to match a one record to a list with multiple like records and
only retrieve from the first record:
Record 1 Jim Smith
look up to Record 2
Record 2 Jim Smith Nice Guy
Record 2 Jim Smith Not so Nice Guy
In otherwords when I do my vlookup
VLOOKUP(B12,'Overall Transformations '!A:Y,17,0) it sees the two records in
record 2 and brings back N/A#.
How do I tell it to bring back the first instance that it sees with Jim
Smith Nice Guy?
Me thinks something else is causing the #N/A.
If you have two Jim Smith's in the lookup array, it should return the first
one only and not "see" the second one.
(I assume the N/A# in your post is a typo)
Might not really have a match...? Spaces or something like that.

Louis Oosthuizen is on the verge of making up for his Masters anguish at the first time of asking as he continues to lead through three days of the Malaysian Open.
The 29 year old South African only just missed out on winning his second Major title last week at Augusta National, but eventually lost a playoff to Bubba Watson.
He finished the third round on 13 under par at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club after ten holes of his third round, with storm delays causing disruption for the third day in a row.
"I got off to a pretty slow start to the third round – I hit three good putts on the first three holes but didn't birdie one of them," he said. "I am probably going for a few more shots than usual in the third round because I am kind of playing it like it might be the last round.
"You never know with the weather here so you are trying to get ahead of the guys just in case all of a sudden it becomes a 54-hole event. I actually don't think that will be the case now, but at that point on the sixth I was still thinking there was a chance that this could be the last round.
"I feel good now. I made good putts on nine and ten for birdie and I have another birdie putt to come back to in the morning so it feels really good. I am playing well and just have to keep giving myself chances.
"I think everyone knew that this week was going to be one of those one where we are off and on the golf course and to be honest I am screwed with the jet-lag anyway so it doesn't matter either way to me if I have to get up at six in the morning or ten."
Oosthuizen has been in excellent form recently with a third place in the Houston Open two weeks ago as well, and has resisted both mental and physical fatigue after a 30-hour trip from the Masters to Malaysia to maintain that form.
"The jet-lag has been pretty rough, especially having the kids with us because they are sleeping all day and then coming alive at night. Thankfully my wife has been able to sit up with them at night in the room next door while I try and sleep but I haven't had more than four hours straight at any one time.
"It's a tough week but it was always going to be the case this week. None of that will matter if I can win tomorrow. My swing feels really good and when you are playing like this you really want to get a win because it just boosts the confidence so much and it is a good time of the year to do that."
Scotland's Stephen Gallacher is in second 12 under par with seven holes of his third hole remaining, with Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Danny Willett and David Lipsky sharing third on ten under par.

Spring Practice Primer: Purdue
Posted by Tom Fornelli
Spring football is in the air, and with our Spring Practice Primers the Eye On College Football Blog gets you up to speed on what to look for on campuses around the country this spring. Today we look at Purdue.
Spring Practice Starts: Wednesday, March 7
Spring Game: Saturday, April 14
Returning Starters: Eight on offense, seven on defense, one specialist
Three Things To Watch For:
1. Quarterbacks competing. It wouldn't be a spring practice at Purdue if there wasn't a quarterback competition, would it? This spring there will be four signal-callers vying for the privilege, and all four of them have started at some point in their Purdue careers. Caleb TerBush started for the Boilermakers last season, but he's still going to have to hold off Robert Marve, Sean Robinson and Rob Henry. Marve was granted an extra year of eligibility and he won't want to waste it on a sideline. Then there's Henry who missed last season with an ACL injury (that ligament is the bane of Purdue football) after having a spectacular spring. He may have started for Purdue last season if not for the injury, and he'll want to shine again now that he's been cleared to return.
2. The offensive line. Purdue was one of the deeper teams in the Big Ten on the offensive line last season, but that won't be the case in 2012, and it will be interesting to see how it handles the situation this season. While replacing left tackle Dennis Kelly will be important, it'll be just as important to find competent backups at each spot on the line in case of injury. Purdue did have five offensive lineman as part of its latest recruiting class, and it's possible guys like Cameron Cermin, Joey Warburg and Jordan Roos are forced into action earlier than Danny Hope would like. So I'd expect to see them get a lot of work this spring.
3. Who is playing safety? While Purdue is no doubt happy to have both of its starting corners back in Josh Johnson and Ricardo Allen, the Boilermakers lost both their starting safeties to graduation. The Purdue defense gave up a lot of big plays last season, and having to play two new starters as your last line of defense can't be the most comforting thought when you're trying to fix that. Max Charlot is likely to grab at least one of starting spots, but the second spot is wide open.

Purdue struggling against Toledo, 31-20
Posted by Adam Jacobi
[Update, 2:46 p.m.: Purdue kicker Carson Wiggs missed his second field goal of the game. Toledo takes over at their own 21 holding a 24-17 lead.]
[Update, 2:58 p.m.: Following a Toledo turnover, Wiggs was given a chip shot from 22, and he made it. The score is now 24-20 Toledo with 8:12 left on the clock.]
[Update, 3:12 p.m.: Toledo nearly took the ensuing kick to the house, and they scored a touchdown on a QB sneak shortly thereafter. Toledo leads 31-20, and Purdue needs two quick scores in response.]
[Update, 3:14 p.m.: AAAAAAND INTERCEPTION TOLEDO. 2 minutes and counting. Game over.]
The third quarter of Toledo-Purdue has been full of offensive fireworks thus far, and the Boilermakers may be working their way back into this game. Purdue kicked a field goal on their opening drive of the second half, then traded long TDs with the Rockets. The critical play, however, may be when Toledo QB Austin Dantin fumbled while being sacked by Purdue CB Josh Johnson on Toledo's ensuing possession; Purdue recovered and charged down the field to cut the lead to 24-17.
Purdue's comeback has also been spurred by the play of Purdue's backup QB, Rob Henry. Henry's in for Robert Marve, who's still out with a potentially serious knee injury. During his halftime interview, Purdue coach Danny Hope speculated that Marve's injury is serious, and Marve is in sweats on Purdue's sideline. He's definitely done for the day.
Now Toledo, who had been controlling the ballgame, must defend a suddenly precarious 7-point lead. Their first step since then -- going three and out -- isn't promising.

At 5 weeks old, Anna Parish, 11, was diagnosed with biliary atresia, a liver disease that effects the bile ducts. She was on a waiting list to receive a donor liver for the past three years and received a liver transplant in May 2012. ?Organ donation means a lot to me because it?s kind of given me a second chance at life,? Anna Parish said. On Jan. 18, Kentucky joined 46 other states in adding an icon to the licenses of organ donors, doing away with stickers and signatures on the back. ALTON STRUPP/ GANNETT
- Filed Under
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Starting this week, Kentucky joins 46 states that promote the organ donor program with an icon on driver's licenses.
Circuit court clerks' offices in Kentucky already ask everyone getting licenses if they want to be on the donor registry, but only 35 percent of residents have said yes.
Nationally, the donor designation rate is about 43 percent, according to Donate Life America, a donor advocacy organization. More than 116,000 people nationwide are awaiting transplants. ...

How do you groom the community leaders of tomorrow?
Organizers of the Rockdale Youth Leadership program believe it starts with exposing teenagers to the adults who function as leaders in the community today.
This year Rockdale County Public School educators pegged 28 sophomores from all three high schools to participate in the Rockdale Youth Leadership program.
Through the program, students tour various key sites in the county, meet with community leaders and learn what opportunities exist in Rockdale County, said Susan Paul Smith, director of the Supporting Tomorrow Achievers Rising to Success, project which funds the program.
"It gives them an overview of the community and how it operates from government to business to civic, how it all comes together," said Smith.
Students also undergo leadership training in which they learn communication skills and how to understand and appreciate differences among people, said Smith.
Educators hope that this first batch of Youth Leadership students become inspired to take on leadership roles in their schools, such as student council officer or club president, and also act as facilitators for future Youth Leadership groups.
The idea is a well-rounded leader will be able to influence fellow students for the better. It's a way to provide social and emotional support from the peer level, said Smith.
"Students listen to their peers," she said.
Their experiences could also build the foundation for the students' interest in wanting to serve Rockdale County when they become adults, whether through business or public service.
"Our goal is we want them to be connected and make a difference here, starting at our high schools," said Jeff Rogers, work-based learning and youth apprenticeship coordinator at the Rockdale Career Academy.
Rogers said teachers handpicked the students they thought showed the most promise in benefiting from the program.
"The students were nominated by their teachers or counselors for standing out, for having already shown leadership characteristics," said Rogers. "They have potential."
Since the program began in January, the students have attended an orientation, a retreat, and a breakfast with community leaders honoring Martin Luther King Jr.
Next month, the group will join in a weeklong leadership camp, which includes a meet-and-greet with alumni from Leadership Rockdale, an adult version of the Youth Leadership program.
Also on the docket for the five-week program is a tour of the Rockdale County Jail, where they'll meet with the sheriff and watch a K-9 demonstration; a meeting with city and county government officials to learn how those entities function; a day of community service; a lesson about community organizations in the county; and a tour of Rockdale Medical Center.
The Rockdale Youth Leadership program is a collaboration between the Rockdale County Public School System, the STARS project (a community federal grant administered through the school system), the Conyers-Rockdale Chamber of Commerce Leadership Rockdale Alumni group and the chamber's education committee.
"The students are very enthusiastic and seem to be enjoying the process and they're very eager to learn new skills and take them back to their schools," said Smith. "These are a great group of young people."
Applications for the next Rockdale Youth Leadership Program will be accepted in early summer. The program is open to students from public, private and home-school environments.
For more information, call Jeff Rogers at the Rockdale Career Academy at 770-388-5677, ext. 31303, or visit www.rockdale.k12.ga.us in early summer.
