Glitterati: Citrine by the Stones
Like us on Facebook
My recent infatuation with rough stones led me to designers Mary, Michelle, and Joanne Stone and their jewelry line, dubbed Citrine by the Stones. Like the name, the mother-and-daughters threesome are all about creating beautiful adornments made out of natural stones and precious metals. I love how each handmade piece looks unique — the Stones utilize a hand-etched and hand-hammered technique — and are one-of-a-kind. The line, ranging from $70 to $250, is not too pricey and will go perfect with my favorite Spring trend, Luxotica. I can see myself rocking these two pieces with light denim jeans and a flirty floral blouse for maximum Bollywood appeal.

Utterly Trabitastic!
This is a sight to move all Ostalgics to tears: a Trabant in working order!
For the uninitiated, the Trabant is an iconic car - for all the wrong reasons! It is best summed up in the following harsh comments that TIME magazine had to offer on the Trabi ...
"This is the car that gave Communism a bad name. Powered by a two-stroke pollution generator that maxed out at an ear-splitting 18 hp, the Trabant was a hollow lie of a car constructed of recycled worthlessness (actually, the body was made of a fiberglass-like Duroplast, reinforced with recycled fibers like cotton and wood). A virtual antique when it was designed in the 1950s, the Trabant was East Germany's answer to the VW Beetle — a "people's car," as if the people didn't have enough to worry about. Trabants smoked like an Iraqi oil fire, when they ran at all, and often lacked even the most basic of amenities, like brake lights or turn signals. But history has been kind to the Trabi. Thousands of East Germans drove their Trabants over the border when the Wall fell, which made it a kind of automotive liberator. Once across the border, the none-too-sentimental Ostdeutschlanders immediately abandoned their cars. Ich bin Junk!"
For those who wish to better appreciate the Trabi's unique place in German culture, follow this link to an article about Ossi-Wessi jokes, of which the longest section is devoted to Trabis.
And if you're still up for more Trabi-stalgia, I suggest that you go out and rent the DVD of the brilliant "Goodbye Lenin", in which the Trabi order placed by the family in question plays a central part to the plot.
Whoever would have thought that a clapped out old banger parked in the corner of a Greifswald car park could be so inspirational?
Almost as in Amsterdam!
Greifswald being a student town, many people use bikes to get around. A big number of bikes in front of a building usually indicates that it is a University building ;o)
The Lange Strasse (High Street) is pedestianized and only free to bikes after 6pm. Otherwise you have to watch out not to be knocked over by some student on a bike!
Feet - newly discovered!!!
Greifswald town centre is not really big - you can reach everything within the centre on foot, even if you don't have a lot of time. The main street is pedestrianized and a lot of the streets are one way or cobblestone which makes driving by car very annoying. In addition parking space is rare as in many old towns, so it safes a lot of hassle to leave the car outside the centre...

Figure 4.
Inhibitory function of CTLA-4 molecules with mutation in the cytoplasmic domain. A) Jurkat T cells stably transfected with WT CTLA-4 or mutant CTLA-4 constructs were cultured overnight in the absence or presence of doxycycline (1 μg/ml). Cells were further stimulated with APCs and SEE (1 and 10 ng/ml) for 24 hours at 37°C. IL-2 production was measured by ELISA. Inhibition of IL-2 was determined for each CTLA-4 variant by calculating the percent of IL-2 produced in the presence of CTLA-4 expression normalized to the maximal IL-2 level in the absence of CTLA-4 at each concentration of SEE. The maximal level of inhibition was plotted for each CTLA-4 variant. This graph was generated using triplicate data for each concentration of SEE, from three independent experiments. B) CD28 expression is required for CTLA-4 mediated inhibition. CD28+, CD28- and CD28-reconstituted Jurkat T cells were cultured overnight without (black squares) or with doxycycline (1 μg/ml) (black triangles) to induce the expression of Y165F CTLA-4. Cells were stimulated with SEE:APC and IL-2 was measured as in A). **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001.

Longford Prize
|This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (November 2014)
The Longford Prize is an annual award presented in the United Kingdom to an organisation or individual working in the field of social or penal reform. The award was established in 2002 in honour of Lord Longford, a lifelong penal reform campaigner, and has been sponsored by both The Independent and the Daily Telegraph. It is organized in association with the Prison Reform Trust and is presented at the annual Longford Lecture.
The prize[edit]
The winner is presented with a cheque for £1,500. Additional prizes are awarded by the judges to highly-commended individuals and organisations, and occasionally a lifetime achievement award is made, usually to someone who has made a difference by their own initiative and resourcefulness in prisoners' lives. Next year's prize will be awarded at the The 2015 Longford Lecture in November.
The judges were initially chaired by Lord Longford's daughter, the poet Judith Kazantzis. Current judges include Lord Ramsbotham (formerly Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons), Juliet Lyon (Director of the Prison Reform Trust), and Peter Stanford (Director of the Longford Trust).
2014 winner[edit]
The current Longford Prize was awarded to Marina Cantecuzino of The Forgiveness Project, for her "significant contribution to reducing reoffending as well as having a wider impact in creating a more positive commitment in our criminal justice system to restorative justice".[1][2]
A Lifetime Achievement Award was given to New Horizon Youth Centre. A drop-in day centre, founded by in 1968.
Past winners[edit]
The 2013 prize was awarded to the Prison Radio Association as "a model of transforming rehabilitation".[3] A Lifetime Achievement Award was made to Revd Paul Cowley.
The 2012 prize was awarded to the Prisoners' Advice Service (PAS) for work in prisoners' advocacy. A Lifetime Achievement Award was made to Paul Cavadino for his work with NACRO.
The 2011 prize was awarded to The Clink Charity, a skills and rehabilitation organisation based at HMP High Down. A Lifetime Achievement Award was made to David Brown.
The 2010 prize was awarded to Circles UK. Circles helps newly released sex offenders. A Lifetime Achievement Award was made to Peter Kilgarriff
The 2009 prize was awarded to Inquest. This charity helps people bereaved by a death in custody. The judges praised it for its "remarkable perseverance, personal commitment and courage in an area too often under-investigated by the public authorities."[4]
The 2008 prize was awarded to HMP Grendon. The judges were impressed in particular by the prison's proven track record in cutting reoffending and promoting the principles of rehabilitation. A Lifetime Achievement Award was given to Lucy Gampell, director of Action for Prisoners' Families
The 2007 prize was awarded to Prisoners Abroad, a UK charity which supports Britons who are imprisoned overseas. The judges praised "its courage, persistence and humanity, over almost three decades, sometimes in the face of public and official indifference and even hostility".[5] Special mention was also made of The Forgiveness Project and Joe Baden and the Open Book Project.
In 2006 the Longford Prize was given to FPWP Hibiscus, a small charity, working with female foreign national prisoners. Special mentions went to Chance UK; Roma Hooper; and Lucie Russell and Smart Justice.
The 2005 prize was awarded to Steven Taylor, Director of the Forum on Prisoner Education, for promoting the rehabilitation and re-integration of prisoners into society.
Christopher Morgan was awarded the prize in 2004 for setting up the Shannon Trust in 1997 which trains prisoners to teach their fellow inmates reading and writing.
Barbara Tudor was awarded the Longford Prize in 2003 for her work in restorative justice.
The winner of the first Longford Prize was Audrey Edwards, in 2002. After her mentally-ill son, Christopher, was murdered in Chelmsford Prison, Edwards campaigned to improve mental health care for offenders.

As therapists, we're all too familiar with the strength and tenacity of ingrained emotional schemas—unconscious templates of feeling and behavior, usually established during childhood, that can seem immune to our best clinical efforts. For example, a woman goes into anxious, compulsive attempts to please her husband whenever he seems even slightly upset or impatient with her; a man flies into uncontrollable rage when any small mistake or misstep is called to his attention; a bright and promising graduate student repeatedly drops out of school programs just before successfully completing them; a woman plunges into deep, crippling shame when treated disrespectfully by others. All sorts of family-of-origin rules, roles, and attachment patterns operate through such embedded schemas, as do behaviors or moods unconsciously triggered by ordinary daily events or relatively insignificant mishaps. At times, our clients appear to have put an "issue" to rest, only to have a new situation trigger a relapse.
The tenacity of such symptoms reflects the durability of the underlying emotional schemas, which persist through the decades. These schemas are made up of our own living knowledge, acquired in emotionally intense episodes of life, yet they're largely or completely unconscious and nonverbal. Even more curiously, one's own schemas respond to situations autonomously, without our conscious awareness of either the knowledge they retain or the experiences that originally formed them.
For many years now, we've known that these schemas are laid down in the limbic system, underneath the cerebral cortex, in what neuroscientists call implicit memory—a specialized type of memory that stores and applies unconscious knowledge. But what do we know about how these potent schemas and their neural circuits get dismantled and dissolved, eliminating symptoms at their roots?
The Old Biology
Until a few years ago, the answer to that question, based on a century of research on learning and memory, was that truly dissolving these schemas simply wasn't possible. It seemed well established that when some new emotional learning first becomes installed in stable, long-term memory—a process called "consolidation"—its neural circuits in the limbic system are there for the individual lifetime. The synapses forming the circuits have been considered to be permanently locked in place. Hundreds of studies indicated that even after complete extinction of a learned emotional response, the circuits of that response are only suppressed, not erased, remaining intact and fairly easily retriggered.
For psychotherapists, this meant that the best we could do to reduce unwanted behaviors, moods, or thoughts that arise from emotional learnings
was to suppress them by counteracting them—building up new, separate learnings and responses. Counteracting, a characteristic of most techniques used in cognitive-behavioral therapy, includes any direct attempt to make a symptom happen less and some preferred pattern happen more. It pits the conscious self and its resources against an underlying self and its implicit, symptom-inducing knowledge. This increases internal conflict and the sense of having a "divided self," still leaving the person vulnerable to having old responses reevoked. Nevertheless, for many years, therapists and researchers alike have assumed that counteracting and suppressing behaviors and old learnings is the best, in fact the only, effective remedy for unwanted automatic emotional responses.

Dear All,
In view of the discontinuation of the MISA service we are pleased to inform you that we have
reached an agreement with Maersk Line to charter slots on their MESAWA service.
For those of you who are not familiar with the MESAWA service, it is a weekly product with the
following port rotation :- Jebel Ali, Mundra, Nhava Sheva, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Durban, Port
Louis, Jebel Ali.
This new service concept for UAFL enables us to continue to have a direct call South Bound
from Jebel Ali, Nhava Sheva/Mundra to Durban & Port Elizabeth but also North Bound from
Durban to Port Louis, Jebel Ali and India.
The agreement will commence with the sailing of the Richard Rickmers ETD Jebel Ali 22-23
rd January 2015.
The Slot Charter Agreement is between Maersk and DAL and covers UAFL as an affiliate of
DAL. The relationship with Maersk will therefore be managed by DAL Hamburg and the
interface locally to the Maersk agencies will be via the DAL agency organization.
We have agreed with Maersk on a fixed slot commitment which will be shared between DAL
and UAFL and we have the possibility to use additional slots if available.
To make this service a success we therefore need your full support.
More specific details such as schedules and route, and operational procedures please contact
UAFL local representatives.

Study: BPA Is in Wide Variety of Paper Products
BPA in Recycled Paper continued...
Experts say such studies are suggestive, but not conclusive. And they insist that there's no danger from BPA in paper.
"These are trivial exposures," far below the tolerable safe levels of BPA set by the Environmental Protection Agency, says John Heinze, PhD, executive director of the Environmental Health Research Foundation in Chantilly, Va., a nonprofit organization that does research for the American Chemistry Council, an industry group. "They don't really raise any concerns for safety. That's really what their data show."
How Much BPA Do People Pick Up From Paper?
For the study, researchers tested 103 different thermal receipts collected from supermarkets, banks, libraries, gas stations, and restaurants in seven U. S. cities, South Korea, Vietnam, and Japan. Japan phased out the use of BPA in receipts in 2001.
Researchers also tested 14 other kinds of paper products including flyers, magazines, bus and train tickets, envelopes, newspapers, food wrappers and cartons, airplane boarding passes, luggage tags, printing paper, business cards, napkins, paper towels, and toilet paper.
Ninety-four percent of the thermal receipts tested positive for BPA, including some receipts that claimed to be BPA-free.
The levels of BPA detected on the receipts were much higher than for other paper products.
The highest concentration of BPA found among other kinds of paper was in tickets, followed by newspapers.
Researchers then estimated how much paper products might contribute to a person's total daily BPA exposure.
Cutting BPA Exposure
Based on their models, if an average person handled thermal receipts twice each day, and other kinds of paper five to 10 times a day, they'd get about 2% of their total daily exposure to BPA from paper products.
For cashiers, it was assumed they would touch receipts around 150 times a day, which could contribute as much as 51% of their daily BPA exposure.
Researchers say that if people want to cut their exposure to BPA in paper, they should be careful about how they handle receipts.
If you don't need one, don't take it, Kannan says.
If you do need a receipt, some retailers will email it.
If a hard copy is your only option, head to the sink soon after. "Whenever I touch a thermal receipt paper, immediately I wash my hands," Kannan says.
For cashiers, he says, wearing gloves would probably help cut the amount of BPA absorbed through the skin.

A photographic exhibition of people and their environments in small towns of the world
Otorohanga, the King Country town that touts itself the home of Kiwiana, comes into focus as defining New Zealand, at the World Towns exhibition by Australian photographer Allan Chawner at the newly opened Shed 11 in Wellington.
In the exhibition, Otorohanga rubs street corners with similar towns from across the globe: Gloucester in Australia, Dolores in the United States, French town Martel, Frigiliana in Spain and Shiida, a Japanese village. World Towns sets out to show the unique characteristics of each town and country, and to highlight the qualities that "redefine us as global citizens, of global villages", Langman says.

I hear you. But there is one major flaw in the assumption that the company will make it happen this time. Show me the past where this has happened. We still have the same management which in the past said they had it all under control. Also Just look at the debt in total$$$. Please explain how this company can pay the interest and start to pay down the principal at the same time. Remember that the rates are SKY HIGH at a time in the economy when everyone else that has a viable business plan is getting 5% or lines of credit for 7%. The 25% should say something. If they can't double or more there revenue in 2 years we are all in big trouble. WHAT PERSON OR COMPANY WOULD LEND THIS COMPANY MORE MONEY IN 2 YEARS IF THEY HAVE NOT MASSIVELY INCREASED THERE REVENUE. I supposed if interest rates go down and the economy hits a new bottom then your right. However then would money be easier or harder for this company to raise. What happens if interest rates go up 3 basis points by renewal. Please explain how they can pay the debt down or make the % payments. This company is living off credit or Debt in this case.

text: Soloists Die Young More Often Than Band Members Plus: European rockers less likely to die prematurely By Matt Cantor, Newser User Posted Dec 20, 2012 4:22 AM CST STORY COMMENTS (5) (Newser) – Hey, pop stars: Want to live a long and healthy life? You're better off joining a band, a study finds. Famous solo musicians suffer double the early-death risk that band members face, say researchers who reviewed the lives of 1,400 stars active between 1956 and 2006. As of early 2012, some 137 of the stars, ranging from Elvis Presley to Amy Winehouse, had died young. Why the difference? Solo artists "can find themselves in a situation where everyone around them are paid employees ... all interested in them from a financial point of view and not in their personal needs," notes a researcher. "It's hard for the artist to know who to trust." But band "members can stop an individual spiraling into self-destruction and pull them back into the group." Another tip for musicians: Be European. Those from North America face a 20% risk of early death, twice the European rate, the BBC reports. Researchers chalk that up to longer tours in North America, as well as differences in drug culture and access to health care. Still, North American musicians who died young tended to be six years older, on average, than Europeans, whose average age of premature death was 39.

1. Re: sensor and MDR problemjolson Aug 1, 2014 5:00 PM (in response to dzimofuk)
I have reproduced this issue in my lab - I assume you're attempting to use the following command to change the secondary Manager IP address:
set manager secondary ip X.X.X.X
This does not work because you have an MDR pair - it is the primary Managers responsibility to pass down the secondary IP to the Sensor.
I would recommend the following to potentially resolve your issue:
1. Reboot your Sensor and check the status with the 'show' command.
2. If the Sensor still does not inherit the correct IP address of the secondary Manager, try the following commands:
setup (enter all necessary information)
Please attempt the above procedures and report your results here. Thanks.

2. Re: sensor and MDR problemdzimofuk Aug 17, 2014 11:08 AM (in response to jolson)
Reboot is a solution, then the sensor is able to connect with peer manager correctly.
I usually don't like solution like this, because reboot has an network impact, but thanks for your advice anyway.

Yea, I like the whole 'Be a Master' thing, it wouldn't be pokemon without it! But there should be more of a plot ont he side, other than TR, or TM, or TA doing something bad... Maybe have a character or two follow you around? And help you during Double battles? Ohh I thought of a system a long time ago, but I think it'd be too complicated to use, and make the game much more time-consuming....
Have 3 characters, each has a different goal...
Character 1-Wants to be a pokemon Master
Character 2-Wants to be a... Contest Master? Haha
Character 3... Um... I'll figure something out XD
And then each character can have up to 6 pokemon. In order to change which character you want to control, all you have to do is select them from the Start Menu, and then you control that trainer's pokemon during battle, and any pokemon caught belong to that trainer... This would result in up to 16/24 pokemon at a time! (I'm starting to think a third character is unnecassary, lol) But if you want to do even training, it would take a lot more time, and gym leaders would either be too hard to beat, or their pokemon would be at very low levels... So that's an idea, I don't know if it's any good, but it's a thought!
EDIT: And do something to have more of an emotional bond with your character... How do they do it in other RPGS?

Review: Booq Boa Slimcase M
A water resistant slim case for your laptop. (March 24th, 2008)
MacNN Rating:
Product Manufacturer: Booq, LLC
Price: $115 - $145 US
The Good
- Well-constructed. Water-resistant. Comfortable when full. Limited 5-year Warranty. Bag recovery system.
The Bad
- Doesn�t quite fit my bare necessities. 15" MacBook is a tight fit.
Booq, the well-known laptop bag manufacturer, unveiled the Boa Slimcase line in November. The bags support laptop sizes ranging from 13 to 17 inches, and fit Apple's MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops. The Boa Slimcases are available in portrait and landscape formats. The two models and three sizes per model are designed for the professional who wants to carry only the basic necessities of computing.
I've always found the shape of the post-2000 laptops unwieldy and recently found that the vertical bags make them easier to carry, so I tested the Boa slimcase M vertical bag. This $115 bag fits 13 to 15" laptops, while the other more expensive models fit the 17" MacBook Pro portables.
Made to LastThe construction of the Boa slimcase M lives up to the quality of other Booq bags. The rugged, weather-resistant 1680D black ballistic nylon exterior shows no wear after three months of use, and I expect it to remain scuff free for its life. In addition, the high-density foam padding protects against an accidental drop or errant swing of the bag. One thin pocket, adorned with Booq's signature orange piping, graces outside for folders or papers.
Secure When OpenThe 3-pound bag is made to protect your laptop even when open, so it isn't made with a square edged zipper that opens the whole bag. Instead the front has an angled edge, and when opened gussets prevent the flap from falling open. Inside the flap are one zippered pocket, one slip-in pocket, two pen pockets, and four small elasticized Lycra pockets for business cards, or other small items. Facing the front is an insert with another slip pocket and two flap pockets that close with magnets. I'm not a fan of magnets anywhere near my computer and would have preferred Velcro closures. Although the insert looks removable, it is not. The Velcro on the bottom secures laptop padding, not the insert.
Interior PocketsYour computer slips into the section behind the red insert, which protects it from anything in the pockets. The 420D polyester red interior makes it easy to find items, but might not appeal to the more conservative among you.
|Boa slimcase M Open
|Boa slimcase M Open and Filled
The YKK coil double-stitched zippers are barely visible when closed, and a solid metal Booq-branded pull moves the zipper easily around the rounded edges. Affixed to one of the pockets is a Terralinq metal tag that reads, "If Found please visit Terralinq.com" along with a unique serial number. You can register your serial number at the site, so if your Laptop is lost or stolen, you can sign in to the web site to report the lost bag.
Booq includes a removable shoulder strap for comfort, or you can use the built-in padded carrying handle alone. I found the 2" wide adjustable shoulder strap very comfortable.
Great Bag, Not My FavoriteThis exceptional bag may be everything you need for light days, but I found it too lean. It provides a very tight fit for my 15" PowerBook, and I could not comfortably fit my barest necessities, which includes a tiny mouse, iPod, headphones, and spare battery. The horizontal bag looks like it may fit a bit more, but I didn't test that one. As advertised, this is a short-trip bag, not suitable for long hauls.

If you are trying to export the remote database, then there is already support for this. It is called network export.

As Dean says network link might be what you want but if you really do want to run DBMS_DATAPUMP in a remote database then i think you need to define your own custome procedure in the remote database that does everything you want and then just call that directly. Remot calls using @DBLINK won't work i don't think.

The Journal Sentinel business department follows developments in the local retail industry
Fewer coupons out there, but values are higher
Consumer packaged goods manufacturers have reduced the number of coupons they're offering, but the dollar values are a little higher, according to a new report from NCH Marketing Services Inc.
The mid-year report shows that 167 billion coupons were put into circulation in the first half of the year, down 6.2% from the first half of last year. But that is still well above the pre-recession level, when 151 billion coupons were distributed in the first half of 2007.
The average face value of coupons circulated in the first six months of this year was $1.57, up from $1.49 for the first half of last year. But the time for using offers has shrunk from an average of 11.3 weeks last year to 10.1 weeks this year. More coupons require a multiple purchase this year, 27% of offers, compared with 24% a year ago.
The majority of coupons, 89.6%, got to consumers by way of freestanding inserts. That is an increase of 2.1 percentage points from last year.
Redemption rates by consumers have continued to grow, the report said. The redemption rate spiked by about 19% in 2009, when shoppers felt the full effect of the recession. The rate of redemption went up by 7.9% last year and 2.9% in the first six months fo 2011.

FuryDirected and written by David AyerStarring Brad Pitt, Logan Lerman, Shia LaBoeuf, Jason Isaacs, Michel Peña, and Scott Eastwood
In April 1945, World War II seems to be coming to an end, yet for the crewmembers of an American tank, the horrors and dangers of war continue as they face their daily mission in German territory. Leading the mission is the fierce Sergeant Collier, who finds Ellison, a simple soldier on his first mission, a part of his crew.
The cruelty of war -- which is described emblematically through Sergeant Wardaddy Collier's words, "Ideals are peaceful; history is violent" -- is seen through the eyes of a greenhorn. Although this is nothing new, Ayer (who also made Training Day and the first Fast & Furious) tells the story in the restricted space of the passenger compartment of an army tank, which will become home, fort, and, perhaps, tomb to five men.
That the viewer knows he finds himself in…

Jurassic World
Directed by Colin Trevorrow Starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Omar Sy
Twenty years after the tragedy that forced it to close, the dinosaur park has now reopened. It is more spectacular and ambitious than ever before, thanks to the investment of a rich Indian man who, on paper, wants to give everyone the possibility of becoming aware of the smallness of man compared to nature. Yet, in reality, he hides a less worthy deal with the army to use the park "monsters" for military purposes.
As expected, precisely when the manager of the park (Claire)'s nephews visit, the new attraction— a genetically modified dinosaur— escapes, scattering death across the island. The only one capable of stopping the killer dinosaur is Owen, a former marine in charge of training a team of vicious velociraptors—a dangerous weapon that will come in handy in the…

Oscar-nominated Timbuktu: right at the heart of the world
A tracking shot of a gazelle running across the northern Mali desert. Shattering gunshots. A van of men is chasing the beast, concerned not to kill, but to exhaust and capture it. More gunshots: traditional wooden statues are blown to bits in the sand.
These armed marauders are jihadists arriving from Libya and other countries into Azawad, the region of Mali in which Abderrahmane Sissako's new film Timbuktu is located. They don't speak the local languages (particularly Tamasheq, a Tuareg dialect) and so use translators and a mixture of Arabic, Bambara, French and English in order to ensure that women wear gloves and socks, that men roll up their trouser legs, and to ban, inter alia, football, music, smoking, loitering in the streets and sitting on one's doorstep. Woe betide anyone who breaks these arbitrarily-imposed laws; it's lashes, stoning or a gunshot for them.
Except that these jihadists are hypocrites. They are…

A search for "zombie fiction" on Amazon currently provides you with more than 25,000 options. Barely a week goes by without another onslaught from the living dead on our screens.

Still Alice
Still Alice Directed by Richard Glatzer, Wash Westmoreland Starring: Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin, Kristen Stewart
Featuring a heart-breaking central performance from Julianne Moore as Alice Howland, a Columbia University Linguistics professor diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's, Still Alice shows us the painful reality of a disease we'd really rather not think about, a disease that frightens us, that we don't understand and are terrified of experiencing first hand.
Based on Lisa Genova's 2007 bestselling novel of the same name, the film tracks Alice's diagnosis after the first effects of the disease cause her to forget the words to a speech she gives at her University. The film is an intimate portrayal of the devastating impact the disease has on Alice's husband (Baldwin) and their children – also at risk due to the hereditary nature of the condition - as they struggle to come to terms with the fact that, in spite…

The Statistics Corner: Interpreting the Unemployment Statistics
Norwood, Janet L., Business Economics
My guest columnist for this issue is Janet L. Norwood, formerly U.S. Commissioner of Labor Statistics. Janet gave this excellent discussion of how to interpret the unemployment statistics at the NABE Annual Meeting in Dallas, but the paper deserves wider distribution.
FOR THE PAST two quarters, the gross domestic product has grown, but the expansion has yet to pick up steam. Job growth has been quite weak. Even last July, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported an increase of nearly 200,000 jobs, almost none of the increase came from the private sector. The August data showed an even clearer picture: payroll employment in the private economy dropped by 167,000. The overall jobs number was bolstered by about 100,000 federally funded summer youth jobs, Job losses were especially large across manufacturing industries and in retail trade. In fact, factory jobs hit the April 1983 low point,
Bad news, you say? But the overall unemployment rate edged down another tenth in August. The Bush Administration, focusing on the improvement in the jobless rate since June, called the report "encouraging." The Clinton forces, focusing on the employment numbers, pointed to the weakness of the private sector.
The point is that we need to dig below the topside numbers to find out what is really happening. The jobless rate is always affected by the size of the labor force: those who are working plus those who are looking for work. Labor force growth has been unusually slow in recent years, especially for young people, whose labor force participation rates had been trending downward. The government summer youth program may have encouraged some of them to start job search once again.
We know that, when analyzing the unemployment rate, we can expect certain kinds of changes once economic growth really picks up:
1.The labor force will begin to increase. As the economy expands, many who have left the labor force during the recessionary period think that jobs are now available and so they decide to look for work. This labor force increase, of course, makes it harder to reduce the jobless rate because so many more people are in the labor force looking for a job. It has been the unusually slow labor force growth over the past few years that has exerted downward pull on the unemployment rate.
2. A part of that increased growth should come from the discouraged worker group -- those who were not looking for a job because they believed no job was available. The number of discouraged workers always rises during recession and shrinks during expansionary periods. We must remember, however, that the discouraged worker group did not increase as much as usual during the recession that began in 1990, so the increase in the labor force from this group, while important, will not be very large.
3. The proportion of the unemployed who have been jobless for six months or longer -- the long term unemployed -- will continue to increase as the business expansion sets in. This occurs because the most experienced and most valuable workers are laid off last and rehired first. Workers fired first (those who are not critical to the operation of the business) are usually the last to be rehired.
4. We can expect that the unemployment rate will probably lag at the beginning of an expansion because of the labor force growth that occurs.
In analyzing the current situation, of course, we must remember that this time around we face several unusual circumstances, all of which have an effect on employment and unemployment. For example, in recent memory, we have not had to face a recovery against the background of a banking crisis, which has resulted in more careful and slower extension of credit. In addition, the construction industry, as the result of overbuilding during the 1980s, has been extremely weak, even in a period when interest rates are quite low. Furthermore, the fact that consumer confidence remains quite low has slowed sales in the retail field and in services. …
