This is a submarine simulator for the Nintendo 3DS that comes up short of its $39.99 price tag.
Game Play: Steel Diver offers three modes: Missions, Periscope Strike, and Steel Commander. Missions offer two choices for play: Campaign and Time Trials. In the campaign, a player has seven missions to complete. Each mission has some objectives. Almost all of those missions involve piloting a submarine from point A to point B. Sometimes, a player maybe required to destroy a sea creature or an enemy ship.
Speaking of submarines, Players are offered the choice of three submarines to complete the mission: The Manatee (Compact), The Blue Shark (MidSize), and The Serpent (Large). Each sub has its advantages and disadvantages. The compact sub is easier to steer, but it's weak offensively with one forward torpedo and one vertical torpedo. The midsize has a little more punch than the compact, and the large sub boasts the most firepower. However, the large sub is also the hardest to control. These subs also come with their own captain, but the captains play no role since players control the subs.
The subs are controlled through the touch screen. Having all controls on the touch screen was a mistake. It is challenging to try to steer a sub by having to switch front the speed control to the dive control on the touch screen. There is a definite learning curve here. Campaign mode also offers a training session. After each successful mission, players are offered a brief periscope strike session to earn decals to add to high scores. I find the missions enjoyable and somewhat challenging, but there are too few missions, especially for a fully priced game. Time Trials are straight forward: pilot a sub from point A to point B within the time limit without being destroyed.
The second mode is Periscope Strike. The mode uses the Nintendo 3DS' gyroscope. A player will move, and the periscope view will move with him or her. The objective is to sink the enemy ships or submarines in the shortest amount of time possible. There will be enemy fire. Although a player cannot be destroyed, any shells or torpedoes that hit will cause a leak. Leaks immobilize a player, and he or she will need to fix the leak on the touch screen before going back to the hunt. Therefore, leaks cost seconds when trying to beat a high score. Shells and torpedoes can be avoided by using the dive lever on the touch screen. There is also a lever to zoom in and out. Periscope Strike has three scenarios: Ships during the day with calm weather (easiest), Ships in a storm (harder), and enemy subs (most difficult). Periscope Strike is a good pick up and play mode for the easy controls, but it may grow old if played too much.
The final mode is Steel Commander. This is the only mode with a multi-player option in the entire game. This is a shame given the new connectivity options that have come with the 3DS. A player can only "beam" this mode to another 3DS owner. The entire game could have made use of the internet or StreetPass. Anyway, Steel Commander is a like board game. There are nine maps to choose, but some of those maps need to be unlocked. Each map is divided into two sides with several hexagonal cells. Each map has a different layout for rock formations, and each map has button on the touch screen to change the arrangement of the units. It would have been nice to place units where one would want. Each side is given a sub, 14 escort ships, and 5 freighter ships.
The object of the game is to either sink the enemy sub or sink all 5 enemy freighter ships. Subs are the only units that can cross into enemy territory, and escort ships and the enemy sub can attack your sub. The escort ships are separated into four groups with one group having five ships and the rest having three ships in a group. The presence of an enemy ship or sub will show on the grid as a pink cell with a question mark. You may use your sub's sonar to pin point the location of enemy ships. However, there are drawbacks to using sonar: Enemy escort ships will know where your sub is. You cannot tell what kind of ships your sonar has found, and the enemy may move a group of ships to a different cell to avoid attack. When attacking with your sub, you are given four torpedoes to use to sink ships or possibly the enemy sub through use of the periscope. When attacking the enemy sub with your escort ships with depth charges, you are given the choice of three depths: 50m, 100m, and 150m. The enemy sub is given the same choice. If you guess right, the enemy sub will take damage, but if you guess wrong, the enemy sub can counterattack or flee. Roles are reversed when your sub is attacked by enemy escort ships. This is fun game of cat and mouse where the hunter can turn into the hunted in an instant.
Overall, I like the game play, although I could use of used more stuff as noted in this game (3.5/5.0)
Graphics: The graphics for this game are on par or a bit better than most of the DS games out there. I like the backgrounds for the mission mode, but I don't like the simplicity of the periscope views. I would like to see more detail here. But, what about the 3D effect? I found the 3D slider add little to this game. Yes, there is a little more depth in the periscope view. Yes, the background appears deeper for the mission mode. But, it does little to enhance the game play, and it adds little value to the graphics. Since the 3D effect is supposed to be a main selling point, the developers could have done a better job to include it. (2.5/5.0)
Plot: There is actually a plot to this game. A world at war must call upon the steel divers to bring peace. The plot in this game has little role in the campaign. It seems to be thrown into the game as an afterthought. (1.0/5.0)
Music/Sound: The music is fine. It doesn't become annoying or tiresome. This is a good thing since you can't turn off the music in an option menu. The same can be said for the sound effects. (3.0/5.0)
Replay Ability: For most of this game, you can try to beat your best time. The other thing to do is challenge friend or the A.I. to a round of Steel Commander. Of all the options, Steel Commander is the least likely to become tiresome, but the other options hold little incentive to beat your best time. (2.5/5.0)
Summary I like this game, but there is so much room for improvement. I feel it is not worth the 39.99 price tag. I would highly recommend renting it if possible.
Final Score
3.5 x .35 = 1.225
2.5 x .25 = 0.625
1.0 x .10 = 0.1
3.0 x .10 = 0.3
2.5 x .20 = 0.5
Sum = 2.75

Have you ever had a "Back To The Future-esque" personal crisis?
It usually goes something like this: You're snuggled up in your favorite chair with a freshly brewed cup of tea, watching the squirrels muck it up over a pecan in the front yard, and sorting through old family photos. You're thinking some leftover pumpkin spice custard might be in order, then GASP! You glance back down at the pile of photos and realize that you have been erased from every. single. one.
Oh, oops! It's not the time-space continuum after all, you realize. It's just that since becoming a mother you've been TAKING all the photos. And while you're sure your kids will someday appreciate snapshots of their chubby baby bottoms from every possible angle, they may just want to see a bit of you too.
So, with an extra nudge from this article, you decide to photo bomb your own life. You start handing your camera to strangers and jumping in front of the lens, fiddle with the timer thingy until you figure it out, and even recruit the hubs.
If your expression looks like pained constipation in the first few shot, don't panic! Life in the foreground takes some getting used to, but the memories you capture just may make month. That's what happened to me, at least. Today I'm sharing a few favorites with you along with a few other things that made me smile.
Here Are The Things That Made My October . . .
- Gazing out the car window at jewel-toned leaves swirling down a lonely country road. Reaching out for my husband's hand, only to find his fingertips meet me mid-air. We'd reached out in the exact same moment.

- Savory sweet potato casserole with bacon and swiss
- This spicy kimchi, because I'm feeling a bit ho-hum about sauerkraut these days
- Creamy raw milk egg nog
- Easy pumpkin fudge
- And of course these healthy fruit snacks, because it's a great way to use the crabapples in my front yard!
Articles That Made Me Go "YES!"
- This explanation of how eating GMO's is literally changing human DNA: What Is A GMO?
- Discovering a natural source for Vitamin C (Because if you didn't know vitamin manufacturers have a dirty little secret)

7 Responses to Photo Bombing And Other Things I Loved In October
As the youngest in my family, there were actually very few pictures of ME growing up. Parents do get busy and tired! So I became a my family's photographer when I was in elementary school, and continue to be in charge of photos to this day. I make an effort to hand the camera to other people once in a while, because I still have a childhood craving for pictures of myself, and don't like to always be missing from the memories.
Heather, I agree that it's important to get in the picture… But why is it so hard to do? I know a few bloggers who's husbands are professional photographers, and I always feel some envy– how wonderful to have someone capturing those moments, AND your good angles!
Thanks for sharing our fungi foray adventure– that was on my bucket list for a long time, and it was just as wonderful as I'd hoped! Glad to hear you'll be heading out in the spirngtime!
Hey Heather, thank you for sharing my recipe and article! I love your post! As usual, your kids are so darn adorable!
I lost my mom to melanoma when I was 20, and it became quickly obvious to me that my mother's camera shyness over the years had left a serious hole in my life–I don't have nearly enough photos of her to look back on, now. I understand her insecurities, because I share them, but now I see it in different light. Having your picture taken isn't about looking flawless in every shot, it's about capturing a glimpse of who you are in a single moment and saving it for posterity. It's a selfless act, not a selfish one. I have promised myself that I will never be camera shy again, because I want my kids to have lots of pictures of me to cherish, even if I live to by 95.
Love seeing those kiddos! PLEASE give Katie a hug for me She's such a little gem and got me jones-ing for a little girl one day :)> XOXO

Clinical trials for non-Hodgkin lymphoma
You may have had to make a lot of decisions since you've been told you have cancer. One of the most important decisions you will make is deciding which treatment is best for you. You may have heard about clinical trials being done for your type of cancer. Or maybe someone on your health care team has mentioned a clinical trial to you.
Clinical trials are carefully controlled research studies that are done with patients who volunteer for them. They are done to get a closer look at promising new treatments or procedures.
If you would like to take part in a clinical trial, you should start by asking your doctor if your clinic or hospital conducts clinical trials. You can also call our clinical trials matching service for a list of clinical trials that meet your medical needs. You can reach this service at 1-800-303-5691 or on our website at www.cancer.org/clinicaltrials. You can also get a list of current clinical trials by calling the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service toll-free at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237) or by visiting the NCI clinical trials website at www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials.
You must meet requirements to take part in any clinical trial. But if you do qualify for a clinical trial, you still get to decide whether or not to enter (enroll in) it.
Clinical trials are one way to get state-of-the art cancer treatment. Sometimes they may be the only way to get access to some newer treatments. They are also the only way for doctors to learn better methods to treat cancer. Still, they are not right for everyone.
You can get a lot more information on clinical trials, in our document called Clinical Trials: What You Need to Know. You can read it on our website or call our toll-free number and have it sent to you.

BLACK STEEL are purveyors of traditional classic heavy metal music with an emphasis on high calibre musicianship, strong melody, double kick drumming, soaring vocals, big choruses and dual guitar soloing. Members of BLACK STEEL have toured & played with many of the genres biggest names in previous outfits in their home country. Dave has toured with the likes of PANTERA, SLAYER, ROB HALFORD, MACHINE HEAD, ANTHRAX, SEPULTURA etc..

BLACK STEEL's first recorded effort was the 'BATTLE CALL' EP. The four tracks on the disc are the first written songs by BLACK STEEL. Recorded in just over 2 days at Survival Studios in Western Australia. The first pressing sold out in just a few short weeks. Positive reviews followed in many metal 'zines, websites & major magazines including biggies like Heavy Order Was & Kerrang!

In late 2000 BLACK STEEL recorded a rendition of the AC/DC classic 'Dirty Deeds' for the AC/DC Hometown tribute CD released thru Oracle records.
Some big breaks were offered to the band in 2001 with the band opening for DEEP PURPLE & also JUDAS PRIEST on their respective Australian tours.
The full length debut BLACK STEEL album 'Destructor' was released in late 2001. The album showcases a continuation of the melodic metal style developed on their 'Battle Call' EP. The diverse range of songs with big choruses and anthemic metal themes, included mid paced rockers to fast double kick screaming heavy metal - in the classic tradition of prime era Judas Priest, Iron Maiden & Accept with cutting edge metal production.. Drawing from a wide range of influences & a wealth of experience, attention to detail was the upmost priority in the production & song writing process. The release of the 'Destructor' album ignited a great deal of interest in the band from around the world with positive reviews in many major metal magazines and websites.

In November 2005 Black Steel released 'Hellhammer' featuring 11 tracks & recorded at Bonsai Studios in Western Australia. Still featuring their traditional brand of melodic metal, the album also featured some much heavier tracks, such as the angry album opener 'Annihilate', followed by the equally brutal 'That Was Then, This Is Now'. Positive reviews followed once again, and IRON MAIDEN lead singer BRUCE DICKINSON plugged Black Steel on his BBC Radio Show 'Bruce's Rock Show', airing the track 'Slaughterhouse' on a couple of occasions.
In 2006, Black Steel recorded a cover version of Pantera's 'Heavy Metal Rules', for inclusion on the late Dimebag Darrell (PANTERA / DAMAGE PLAN guitarist) tribute album 'The Art Of Shredding - A Tribute To Dime' (Darkstar Records).
In 2008, Black Steel were approached to again support JUDAS PRIEST, on the Perth leg of the bands 'Nostradamus' Tour, and the original recording line-up of Matt Williams, Jamie Page, Andrew Di Stefano, Dave Harrison and Damien Petrilli were re-united for the show.

Before the
Federal Communications Commission
Washington, D.C. 20554In the Matter of:
Abundant Life Broadcasting, Inc.
Reclassification of License of
Facility ID No. 334
Class A Television Station K20JX-D
Sacramento, California
Adopted: June 11, 2013
Released: June 12, 2013By the Chief, Video Division, Media Bureau:
This is with respect to station K20JX-D, Sacramento, California, licensed to Abundant
Life Broadcasting, Inc. ("Abundant Life"). The station is currently licensed as a Class A television
station, which is accorded primary spectrum use status pursuant to the Community Broadcasters
Protection Act of 1999 ("CBPA").1
K20JX-D was granted Class A status in 2001,2 and Commission records show that
Abundant Life wholly failed to comply with the online public file requirements for Class A television
stations. By letters dated March 12, 2013 and April 24, 2013, the Video Division of the Media Bureau
requested information from Abundant Life regarding its apparent failure to comply with those
requirements. As the March 12, 2013 letter (" First Letter") set forth, each Class A television station must
prepare and place in its public inspection file on a quarterly basis an issues/programs list demonstrating
that the station aired programming that meets the needs and interests of its community of license3 and
documentation sufficient to demonstrate that it is continuing to meet its Class A eligibility requirements,
including the programming requirements. Furthermore, a Class A station is required to meet the other
public file requirements of a full power station, including the requirement to upload the contents of its
public file to the Commission's website.4 The Class A obligation to comply with the public file
requirements of a full power station also includes uploading to the Commission's website the address of
the station's main studio.5
Accordingly, the Video Division required that the Licensee, within ten (10) days from
the date of the First Letter, (i) upload the Station's main studio address to its online public file; (ii) upload
all missing issues/programs lists to its online public file and/or identify those quarters for which an
issues/programs list was not prepared and provide an explanation for why those lists were not prepared;

requirements, meaning documentation demonstrating that during the period since the station filed for
Class A status, it has (1) broadcast a minimum of 18 hours per day; (2) broadcast an average of at least
three hours per week of locally produced programming each quarter; and (3) complied with all applicable
Part 73 operating rules. Abundant Life took no action regarding its online public file in response to the
First Letter, which was mailed to the address on record in the Commission's Consolidated Database
System ("CDBS").
The Video Division sent a second letter to Abundant Life on April 24, 2013 ("Second
Letter") reiterating the requirements and providing the Licensee with 30 days from the date of the letter to
achieve full compliance. The Second Letter was mailed to the address on record for the Station in CDBS,
as well as the address listed in the Licensee's most recent application to the Commission.6 Abundant Life
took no action regarding its online public file in response to the Second Letter.
The Video Division's letters cautioned that failure to provide the information may result
in a change of the station's status from Class A television status to low power television status. Abundant
Life failed to respond to the Division's letters and also continues to be in violation of the online public
file requirement.
Section 316(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, permits the Commission
to modify an authorization if such action is in the public interest.7 Further, pursuant to Section 316(a), we
are required to notify the affected station of the proposed action, as well as the public interest reasons for
the action, and to afford the licensee at least 30 days to respond. This procedure is set forth in Section
1.87 of the Commission's Rules.8
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Abundant Life show cause why its authorization for
Class A television station K20JX-D, should not be modified to specify the station as a low power
television station.
Pursuant to Section 1.87 of the Commission's Rules, Abundant Life may, no later than
July 12, 2013, file a written statement why the above-captioned license should not be modified as

firstname.lastname@example.com. Upon review of the statement and/or additional information, the Commission
may grant the modification, deny the modification, or set the matter for hearing. If no written statement is
filed by July 12, 2013, the licensee will be deemed to have consented to the modification of its license
from Class A television status to low power television status, and the modification proposed in this Order
to Show Cause will be deemed to serve the public interest.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That a copy of this Order to Show Cause shall be sent by
Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, to the following addresses associated with Abundant Life as

I asked Tony because I knew he wouldn't give me a lecture about consequences
You put on a bike helmet, yelled "doesn't matter fuck it" then punched a stick the fire
I would totes reciprocate the nip pic, but I'm sick with a piece of tissue shoved up one of my nostrils and I'm just not feeling that ambitious. Sorry.
I know I'm high, but the dude in target definitely just told me that it's best to walk through every door in life like you're a t-rex....
I can recall having this conversation with a three year old, but go on
How do you get kicked out of 3 different Subways in one night..
You introduced yourself and she said "wow that's a long name" and you went "yeah well you should see my dick."
I hope you get stoned and think that you're a seal in shark infested waters
She climbed up the stairs with three brownies in one fist, two in the other, and one in her mouth. Also, she opened the bedroom door with her foot. I may be in love.
I guess the wine stains on your shirt and the $2 vodka tonics you're sweating out just scream, "Welcome to DC, please ask me for directions."
Btw when I was saying "fuck you" I meant it like "be quiet beautiful princess"
Have you ever had to act sober and talk to an authority figure in a coconut bra? Because it is just as degrading as you would imagine.
You kept purposefully giving me wrong directions, laughing, then yelling at me for taking directions from a drunk person.
i liked you for your lack of ambition and abundance of weed
Drinking loves me for WHO I am
I just set a bowl of cap n crunch on fire. That high.

I thought I was bad, the girl next to me on the bench was feeding a bush a hamburger and introduced me. Only at lollapalooza.
According to the boxer briefs I found on the couch when I got home, I take it your date went well??
You answered, dry heaved into the phone twice, & then hung up on me.
I know how vodka works Grace. I'm drunk, not stupid.
I climaxed at the same time the bass dropped. I think it's safe to say I've reached enlightenment

I hope you enjoy this collage I made of you and me getting fucked up together
At what point in life does one make the conscious decision to incorporate capes into everyday life? Like, as a fashion statement?

i have never been so sexually frustrated as I am right now. I feel like dying...is death an option?
At least you have booty calls.
True. I just waste them though. I feel like I need to be told "there are people in this world who would give anything for just one and you have two." You know in that same tone your parents told you about the starving people in china
We need to put it on a rope attached to the bong, so it can't be dropped. Apparently, you need a stem safety leash.
So after my hot dog popped out of the bun and fell to the ground I tried to pick it back up and eat it. He had to kick it away from me to stop me from trying to pick it back up and eat it. I like him.

as he was bent over the toilet, he turned to me and said "barbarian kyle is much stronger than regular kyle" and then went right back to puking.
Hi. This might be awkward, but I met you on saturday at about 330 am. I have to admit I don't remember your name, what we talked about, or various details of how I got home. What I do remember is that I was invested enough in getting your number to ask my cab driver for a pen to write it down since my phone was dead. So do you want to meet, soberer, some time?
I just woke up to three voicemails from you. In the first one you just straight laughed for 3 minutes. In the second you did bird calls. In the third you were hysterically crying. Have fun last night?

I was afraid someone would drug test my pants so you set them on fire.

I don't want to flatter myself but after the way he was looking at me today I think it might be me.

Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane and president Michael Crowley could be running things for owner Lew Wolff for a long time. The two executives have agreed to sign contract extensions through the 2019 season, the owner said in an interview with Bloomberg TV.
|Oakland's Busy Offseason
Immediately after the news broke, several Oakland area reporters noted on Twitter that this is a great sign the A's are going to get their new stadium in San Jose. Wolff himself hinted as much.
"Somebody said the reason I am doing it is I want one or the other to be able to wheel me into the new stadium," Wolff said (Bloomberg.com).
Beane has been the GM since the end of the 1997 season while Crowley has been president since the end of the '98 campaign. Beane, 49, is famously portrayed by Brad Pitt in the movie "Moneyball," which was released last summer. Under this management tandem, the A's went to the playoffs five times in seven years (2000-03, 2006). On the flip-side, the A's haven't been above .500 since 2006 and finished 74-88 last season.

Politics Counts
The light at the end of the tunnel is in sight - Nov 2012
He gets what he wants with lies, impression management, and all manner of other nefarious strategies peculiar to the psychopathic personality disorder.
Attention right wing nuts: refrain from commenting until Rush and Fox have issued your talking points lest you have to 'walk it back' later. Just trying to help.
The economy is getting stronger and the Obama landslide victory will be overwhelming.
Economies have always been cyclical; I was upset in 2008 because I knew things would get better in spite of Obama and he'd look good in 2012. That said, things are not good, and are worse than they should be, and will stay that way. The policies that led to trouble have been expanded by Obama.
And the sun is going to come up tomorrow!
Obama taking credit for the economy coming back is like taking credit for the sun rising. Although the way he's done it, the sun would be rising a couple weeks late. Still, he's up there crowing about it and lefties and independents will see the way he smiles when he says it and they will believe him.
The president's point is simply that the 'Economy Is Growing Stronger' Not that the economy is fantastic, or superb, or flawless, or perfect. But that it is growing stronger.
Do the reactionary Obama-haters deny this simple truth?
This is a positive news. But, we have to be cautious. The recovery is very fragile.
The business cycle is on the upward path with sign of recovery in the job market. The $100M that is being spent on the invasions and unecessary wars can be used to reduce the deficit and nation building that is badly needed in the US.
Cannot go back to failed policy of the Republican party of the past or the new GOP candidates, Mitt, Newt, etc...lacking core values, no trust, tax cut to the wealthy, say whatever, whenever. This recovery was late in coming and weak at best, the US economy is heading in the upward direction.
I'm afraid they will...
Now the question is what do I answer my kid when he asks "why do people hate some much in this country?"...
The problem is not that the economy is growing at a normal 2.5% to 3.0%. The problem is that ii never accelerated in 2009 and 2010 after the recession ended so we are stuck with high levels of long-term unemployed people, which will take the rest of the decade if not further to work through. This is the true legacy of the Obama economy,
Too bad Obama's policies are resulting in the slowest recovery from a recession in modern times. But the US economy is resilient, in spite of the many insults and damaging policies emitted form the White House.
Enjoy your time at the library Mr. President.
Our economy is growing stronger. It kind of helps that Europe is falling on its backside from their socialist government over spending. So tell me why we are supporting one of our chief global competitors with free military protection. I don't get that. Especially, since we are borrowing 42% of our budget to do so.
"This is the true legacy of the Obama economy."
The Obama economy? Still peddling that fiction?
Who will join them in the quest for revenge?
The GOP got kicked in the nuts with this news!
Look at the dramatic increase of people on food stamps and welfare. They are being moved off of unemployment and the work force in record numbers. Look at the debt Obama has generated in his term, more than all the other Presidents combined. Go to the gas pump, buy groceries and look at what the prices are now since Obama took office. Obama is heading for a massive beating in November ala Jimmy Carter. Things are not getting better other than for Federal and government workers. People are being tied to the government tete in hopes they will get out and vote to keep the government milk flowing.
The shill media will continue to pump out rah rah blather but the reality is setting in and this darn internet is so inconvenient. The only real question is will Obama go down in history as the worst President of all time. The Great Community Organizer.
Pete your post rhymes with Mitt.
So eat Mitt and die!
It seems pigs can fly. This is bunk, and any clear thinking analytical person knows it. The unemployment #s reported are 1/2 (or less) of the true # as the workforce in the US has shrunk by 2.5 million since BHO took office. The regulatory agencies are suffocating business, taxpayer money is going into fantasy projects that will never work and industry is sitting on it's hands and cash hoping to wait out the storm before making any moves or investments that are non-essential. The Socialist utopia is approaching, and if we don't change things we may not be able to reverse course.
Food stamp President.
To all the Obama haters out there: Something you sholud know by now. Obama is in the exact same postion at this point in this election year as Ronald Reagan at this same time in 1984-Only the situation was much worse for Reagan. Under Obama, umemployment rate peaked at 10% on Oct. 2009. Under Reagan, it was at 10.8% on Nov. 1982 (11% if rounded off). How many of you thought Reagan was gonna be a one-term president then?-Don't lie, either. It will only come back and haunt you very badly much later. Also, in case you haven't noticed Reagan in 1984 is the same as Obama in 2012-and along with that, Nixon in 1972, Bush, Jr. in 2004, Clinton in 1996, LBJ in 1964, Ike in 1956, and FDR in 1936, 1940, and 1944. In a presidential election where the incumbent is not facing someone from his own party. At the same time, the opposition failed to get a formidable opponent to face the President in the November elction. This one here is no different. Romney is too arrogant, Gingrich is too inmature and senile, and Santorum is a loser from Day 1. (He lost re-election as a US Seantor in PA to Bob Casey-who BTW, is up for re-election this year and will not lose to any Republican-Santorum included. Period!) Plus, the job creation process is gonna get better because this is the last month in Winter. Expect a record number of jobs to be created starting with March 2012-when the weather gets warmer-count on it! And as for the unemployment rate, it was still climbing when Bush Jr. was leaving the White House-not dropping-7.3% in Dec. 2008, and 7.8% in Jan. 2009. Which means under Obama, the unemployment rate jumped up ONLY less than 2% (compared to Bush's-5% in Apr. 2008 to 7.8 in Jan 2009- which actually shot up like a rocket during that time-under Bush-and never dropped. Source:US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The anemic 1.7% economic growth of 2011 is not conducive to a strong job growth. Ask any economist! Something here smells fishy!!!
to thel haters of non Obama supporters - give up the delusion - accept reality. Your man isn't responsible for this or anything else. Your man is merely a drone.
TOAST! Regular or extra-crispy??
The stench of an imploding economy is growing stronger.
Typical modern day critical thinking - disagreement = hate.
Stupid. No wonder countries never stay on top forever.
Vote for the cure in 2012 - God & Constitution
Sun's coming up tomorrow, baby! And I made it happen! I'm Lebron!
&!$%^@$ We need the economy to be weaker! Weaker! Strangling, dying, orphans in the streets, beggars at the windows, Armageddon! That's the Republican strategy. This is too soon, too soon!
Despite the best efforts by Republicans to impose draconian austerity and sabotage the American economy for their own political gain in November, jobs are being created and the recovery continues. Mitt Romney and the other Republicans bashing the President for his jobs policies are going to have to surrender to reality soon enough and change their talking points or risk being laughed off the national stage. Millions of jobs were created last year, something every Republican has consistently lied about. Now is not the time to cut off the growth of jobs with a toxic conservative agenda of spending cuts and more government handouts to billionaires. http://www.sunstateactivist.org
"Eppur si muove" (or "E pur si muove" in standard spelling) ([epˈpur si ˈmwɔːve]) is an Italian phrase meaning "And yet it moves" said to have been uttered by the Italian mathematician, physicist and philosopher Galileo Galilei in 1633 after being forced to recant his belief that the Earth moves around the Sun before the Inquisition.
And yet it grows.
Deal with it!
So...why is the current CBO outloook not so rosey???
Remember, if you have to forecast forecast often.
CBO will have to adjust their outlook forecast after taking consideration the new facts in the labor market and the change in economic conditions.

Commencement Speaker
The Sage Colleges is pleased to announce that Nancy S. Mueller will deliver the 98th commencement address on Saturday, May 16, 2015. The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. at the Houston Field House on the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute campus in Troy.
Chemistry, Quiches and a Super Yacht – the Varied Life's Work of Nancy Mueller
Nancy Mueller, who grew up in Latham, NY, is a 1965 graduate of Russell Sage College. She majored in chemistry and after graduation she moved to Palo Alto, CA, and joined Syntex Corporation as pharmaceutical chemist. In 1977, Mueller started her own business, Nancy's Specialty Foods, and began nationally distributing Nancy's Deli Spirals, quiche and other appetizers and entrees through retail and club store venues. After 22 years, she successfully sold the business in 1999. Seeking new experiences, her love of sailing inspired her to fulfill a dream, and she commissioned Feadship to build a super yacht, which she named Andiamo ("Let's go" in Italian), for round the world cruising and diving and use as a charter. Ten years later, after touring hundreds of remote islands and countries with friends and family, she sold the vessel and returned to life on land.
Mueller has received many awards for her entrepreneurial endeavors and was guest lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Business for many years. She serves on the boards of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, San Francisco Opera, and the American Prairie Reserve. An active member of Achievement Rewards for College Scientists (ARCS), and Palo Alto University Rotary Club, she is passionate about many causes including WildAid, Northern Sierra Partnership and Avenidas. In addition to continued exotic travel, Mueller spends time in Kona, Hawaii and enjoys skiing at Lake Tahoe. She also loves to swim, scuba dive and learn photography along with keeping up with the digital world. Her newest acquisition is a drone. She lives in Palo Alto, CA, and Hawaii.
Honorary Degree Recipients
Sage will award honorary degrees this year to two very different accomplished individuals: a nurse executive turned ALS advocate and a renowned Classical conductor.
Battling ALS is Her New Life's Work
Madeline Ruether Kennedy will receive an honorary Doctor of Public Service degree. Kennedy was born and raised in Troy, New York. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Georgetown University in 1975 and studied at Trinity College, Oxford University, in 1974. She earned a Master of Science in Nursing Administration from George Mason University in 1982. Kennedy spent her entire 37 year nursing career in Mental Health. She was head nurse of the Adolescent Unit at Emory John Brady Hospital in Colorado Springs and later the head nurse of another Adolescent Unit at the Psychiatric Institute of Washington, DC. Kennedy returned to Troy to raise her family in 1982. She worked as Nursing Supervisor and in administrative positions at Four Winds Hospital in Saratoga and spent the last 11 years of her career as an adjunct professor at Russell Sage College.
In May of 2012 Kennedy was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease). Although this ended her nursing career, she quickly embraced advocacy and spreading awareness while battling the disease. Kennedy has participated in a variety of research studies, been named to several ALS research committees, given numerous speeches and interviews and authored articles in national media. She has also helped raise more than $100,000 for local and national ALS groups. Each year since her diagnosis, she has traveled to Capitol Hill to lobby for funds and legislation for ALS. Kennedy maintains her own website: www.ConquerALS.com and was named a Research Ambassador by the ALS Consortium (NEALS).
Kennedy is an avid golfer who uses an adaptive golf cart which enables her to keep playing. A clip of Kennedy at an ALS golf fundraiser she organized earlier this year went viral on the internet when she sank a 77.5 ft putt on live TV. You can view it here.
Conducting the Direction of American Symphonic Music
David Alan Miller will receive an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree. Miller, music director of the Albany Symphony since 1992, is a Grammy Award-winning conductor who has established a reputation as one of the leading American conductors of his generation. Through exploration of unusual repertoire, educational programming, community outreach and recording initiatives, he has reaffirmed the Albany Symphony's reputation as the nation's leading champion of American symphonic music and one of its most innovative orchestras. He and the orchestra have twice appeared at "Spring for Music," an annual festival of America's most creative orchestras at New York City's Carnegie Hall.
Other accolades include Columbia University's 2003 Ditson Conductor's Award, the oldest award honoring conductors for their commitment to American music, the 2001 ASCAP Morton Gould Award for Innovative Programming and, in 1999, ASCAP's first-ever Leonard Bernstein Award for Outstanding Educational Programming. Miller received a Grammy Award in January 2014 for his Naxos recording of John Corigliano's "Conjurer," with the Albany Symphony and Dame Evelyn Glennie.
Miller holds a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley and a master's degree in orchestral conducting from The Juilliard School. Prior to his appointment in Albany, he was associate conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. From 1982 to 1988, he was music director of the New York Youth Symphony.
Former Sandy Hook Principal to Be Honored
Dawn Lafferty Hochsprung was the principal of Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut when she and twenty-five others, were victims of one of the nation's most tragic school shootings on December 14, 2012. Hochsprung was also a member of Cohort 6 of Sage College's Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership. Sage will posthumously award her Ed.D. Hochsprung's family will be present to accept her degree.
Interdisciplinary academics, combining the professions and the liberal arts, community engagement, international exposure, and artistic and athletic endeavors are among the pillars of the educational experience at The Sage Colleges. Sage enrolls more than 3,000 students in bachelor's, master's and doctoral programs at the undergraduate Russell Sage College for women in Troy, N.Y.; the coeducational undergraduate Sage College of Albany in Albany, N.Y.; and the graduate-level Esteves School of Education, School of Health Sciences and School of Management, with programs on both campuses; adult education through the School of Professional and Continuing Education and via the Internet through Russell Sage Online.

Thwarting the Pressures of Credit Management
Bendor-Samuel, Peter, Business Credit
Of all the places on earth, there is one where no one wants to go. Those who find themselves in that place feel the odds of getting out of its narrow confines are nearly insurmountable. Many executives in credit management are inhabitants of that place today. Its name is "Between a Rock and a Hard Place."
In that uncomfortable place, the inhabitants feel the pressure of two opposing forces, and it seems there are no good solutions. Governments, for example, increasingly come under pressure to add beneficial programs (usually costly and not in the budget) for their citizens; yet they also come under pressure to cut budgets and cut taxes. In credit management, there is now significant pressure both to maximize performance and to cut costs. This is the world in which credit management executives find themselves today. Those who do not believe they are now between a rock and a hard place will find themselves there in the very near future.
Fortunately, for those enlightened executives not burdened with tunnel vision, there is an excellent solution to the problem of the opposing pressure forces. Indeed, this solution thrives in such an environment and, in the process of solving the problem, it will also create new value for an organization. The solution is outsourcing.
In most organizations, credit management is an important competency, but it is not the key point by which the organization differentiates itself from its competitors. In today's competitive marketplace, senior management in forward-thinking organizations should seek ways to focus company resources--both people and money--on core competencies. Business functions increasingly come under scrutiny as to whether or not a company should continue performing all or some parts of those functions, or whether to outsource the functions to suppliers with expertise and economies of scale. Thus, credit management functions are an ideal candidate for inevitable change. Where there is ongoing pressure to perform at a higher level yet at a lower cost, outsourcing, an important but non-core process, is a valuable business tool to meet company objectives.
Making Change
The phenomenon of outsourcing has existed within credit management for a number of years, within sub-functions such as collections and ratings. On the horizon, though, we see credit management functions starting to be outsourced in total. The entire discipline will be impacted, and outsourcers who supply the entire function of credit management are now entering the marketplace. There will be both niche solutions and total solutions; outsourcing of credit management functions will be pervasive.
A new light also shines on the horizon. Through outsourcing to an application service provider (ASP), credit managers will be able to access world-class technology in effect renting applications by the seat or by the transaction, without having to purchase, install or maintain the software. ASPs are now targeting the banking and retailing industries, among others, because they provide access to the best credit management software available.
Managing Change
It is incumbent upon credit management professionals to understand this implication and how to manage the options. At a minimum, executives need to be able to utilize the point solutions. They also must be able to recognize when a total outsourcing solution is best for their company. …

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) - A Germany-based automotive supplier is planning to build a new production plant in Bowling Green.
The $120 million facility will be called Bilstein Cold Rolled Steel and will employ 90 workers.

Chumlee Looks Amazing Now LOL
Chumlee Weight management: What Truly Taken place?
There has actually been a lot of write ups about popular reality TV star Chumlee and about how he lost a lot of body weight. Most of the speculations have had him consuming weight reduction supplements while others have actually taken into account that he may have gone under the knife for an operation to slim down. All the weight reduction reports, like his scam death, are all incorrect and Chumlee is undoubtedly really blessed to still be alive and kicking with a tremendous 100 pounds of weight loss under his belt.
