The BLS: A History Of (Downward) Revisions, Or How The Department Of Truth Goosed Markets With Half A Million Fake Jobs In Two Years
Zero Hedge has previously demonstrated the improbable, for lack of a better word, upward bias in revising initial jobless claims applications. Today, we look at an even greater statistical problem at the BLS: that of Non-Farm Payrolls. Courtesy of today's full year revision announced by the BLS, and a granular sort by John Poehling, we have discovered that while revisions added a whopping 55k jobs in the years 2006-2008, NFPs have now been revised to remove 538k jobs in the 2009-2010 period. In other words, based on data revisions, under President Obama, America has suddenly created over half a million jobs less (even if all of them are part time) simply due to statistical adjustments. We won't even go into analyzing just how much worse the S&P would be trading if all those monthly "upside" NFP reports had reflected true and not completely fudged numbers. At an average 22.4K downward monthly revision for every single monthly NFP report in the past two years, we are 100% confident that not even Iosif Shalom Bernanke would be able to offset the market plunge that would ensue each and every of the past 24 months... if fundamentals were ever to be remotely meaningful again, of course.

True story: actual email sent to Steve Truthman and his (or at least his admin's)subsequent reply:
Hi Steve,
I just saw your comedy routine on the NBC nightly news and now that I've stopped laughing, I just wanted to say thanks for being a complete and total douchebag sellout.
Lotsa love and happy holidays,
Try it, it's fun. email@example.com
You're right! That was fun. I just modified the script for my own needs with the Subject: "You're a Tool!"
Hi Steve,
I am copying the following text from another "fan!" I TOTALLY AGREE!!!! You are such a talking head. I bet the Bernank has you on his Christmas bonus list:
I just saw your comedy routine on the NBC nightly news and now that I've stopped laughing, I just wanted to say thanks for being a complete and total douchebag sellout.
Don't forget Mark Zandi - he has bet his professional integrity on a 250 - 300K print for February (barring any blizzards).
(I think he checked the Accuweather forecast beforehand)
That explains the shellacking the democrats and incumbents got last November.
This is President Obama's play book on government statistic lies. When will his regime get blowback like this?Crisis in Hungary as politician tells the truth: "We lied!"
"Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany admitted in a Socialist parliamentary group meeting on May 26 that the government had done nothing during the preceding four years.
According to a tape recorded secretly after the spring elections and leaked out on the website of Hungarian public radio on Sunday, Gyurcsany said, "We lied during the last one-and-a-half or two years. It was obvious that whatever we said was untrue."
The PM said, "We have not taken any important government measures that we can be proud of apart from bringing back power from the deep s..t," Gyurcsany said, referring to the electoral victory of the Socialist-liberal coalition."
"Protests on Kossuth Square started on Sept. 17, 2006 when a recording was leaked revealing Socialist Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany admitting that the government lied about the economy before its re-election in April.
The protesters had vowed to stay until Gyurcsany was dismissed, but police pushed them off the square after they refused to submit to security checks. But authorities did not dismantle the dozens of tents set up by the protesters, and they were expected to allow the demonstrators to return after Monday's commemoration.
State news agency MTI reported that police beat some of the protesters — including women and elderly people — with rubber batons, and some had head injuries.
President Laszlo Solyom pleaded Sunday for national unity, trying to keep the bitter political divisions from spilling over into the celebrations."
"Appearing live on local television channel ATV on Sunday evening, Mr Gyurcsany accepted the recording as legitimate, but said the lies he referred to in May were about politicians convincing Hungarians they could live comfortably without paying the cost of doing so.
"For years ... we made people believe that they have nothing to do, that we will give them happiness as a gift," he said. "We have to stop the deluge of lies which have covered the country for many years."
In the past several weeks, he has also admitted that, to have a better chance to win last April's elections, the Government covered up the real size of the state budget deficit and passed a law introducing tax cuts now described by the Prime Minister as a mistake."
watching Hilda Solis on CNBC a few months ago, truly disturbed me. It was clear shewas a true believer. Whatever happened in the labor market, it must reflect the wise and beneficial policies of the Great Leader, BHO. She was a mind lost to the State, unreachable, Stalinist in a way far more gone than the standard slant. I realized then, I could not trust anything from the BLS.
Don't be standing around Cowboys Stadium with all that ice and snow on the roof. When all that snow and ice comes sliding off, it will put you in the hospital or kill you.
It's a laugh riot watching the CNN news anchors, especially the women anchors, trying to laugh off the weather news in Dallas.
They act like it's a joke or something. The joke is on them and the cognitive dissonance they are experiencing, due to their impenetrable belief system in man-made global warming they have been pushing their entire carriers, is on display in living color. They are giggling so hard, they're almost starting to cry.
Maybe Steve Liarman from CNBS can explain this for me.
Truth is treason in an empire of lies...
I was so stupid not to go to Perp school and then Ivy League racketeer training - I had no idea you got a license to steal with those diplomas!
Oh Wait I see a neckline, right around next weeks NFP numbers.
I saw Steve Liarman and his cronies at 7 am, just checking the futures. They were all coming up with excuses in advance for the possibility that the number would be bad. I think they all mentioned weather, and Liarman asked, "If the BLS numbers are bad, do we even believe them?"
David Stockman on todays jobs report
Video - CNBC
starts at 3:00
- more spin control on jobs from WH ever
- lost 6.6 Million jobs since 'great recession'
- great American jobs machine is broken
- Fed QE policy is a joke
- we're issuing 3x more bonds than our GDP is growing ( stupid to buy a 100yr bond )
- we're heading into a wall
Stockman is the inspiration behind the above-noted chart which shows that all of the gains (if one may call them such), are part-time in nature:
Also Stockman is wrong on the debt/GDP ratio. He is using Rosie's analysis for a growing (7.4%) economy. Since we are "growing" at half the rate (3.4%), we are at a 6x debt/GDP ratio. The number is getting ever higher.
Rosie Highlights The Biggest Problem With Last Week's GDP Miss
Next time you see a bullish economic report from the Government, remember that they are usually fabricated from estimates, incomplete data and outright data manipulation. Yes, Bernanke is either completely stoned or a calculated liar. And, yes, the farce continues.Bernanke Either Is Smoking Some Strong Weed Or Is A Malicious Liar
.....he's a liar. remember, Dr. Faber even called him a liar right on t.v. here's another person calling him a liar ; unfortunately only the educated people realize what's going on; the average American Citizen is ill-informed :
It's a little hard to get excited about the distance between the pink and blue lines on that chart. Maybe a cumulative chart would be more convincing.
This is the big, BIG picture story, take a look:
Especially figures 3 and 4
A house of cards! All completely dependent upon petroleum.
I'm not sure I see your point.....it seems that graph #3 has stabilized since 2000. Although.....if we believe in the whole "in a long enough timeline" thingie.....eventually we'll have zero farms but they'll be very large producers of nothingness......is that not efficient enough for you?
Graph#4 is even better.....because it makes almost no sense to me for a farmer who is good at producing corn to be wasting time producing wheat......we are borg and we tolerate no waste.
How many times does the CNBC anchor have to make fun of how 'gloomy' Stockman is? It's his weak attempt at subliminally discrediting Stockman. Why does anyone that has a contrary opinion have to be considered a gloom-and-doomer? Of course, we know the reason...
The fun will continue until someone at Comcast says : YOUR RATINGS ARE SHIT, YOUR RATINGS ARE SHIT !!
Darn shared this finally below didn't see this...
I still say this job counting is a red herring...what really counts is the amount of income created....you add 100 minimum wage jobs and lose 50 $80K ones...and gee your job count went up 100% but the actual income being earned went down...this crap about counting jobs has got to stop...it is just another delusional stat from our government and everyone appears to buy into it.
My roommate was making close to $200K as a sales rep. He now can't even find a friggin retail job at $9/hour.
bravissima!! +523k
BLS = revised lies, widely despised.
This is irrefutable evidence why it is important that all numbers be sanitized prior to distribution so as not to befuddle the markets and the masses with what is deemed to be irrelevant detail. Data management is, of course, included within the emergency powers function. Carry on.
Yea, well, it worked didn't it? You know, there is a neverending supply of shit eating morons out there that will eat the propoganda off of a spoon. They don't want to hear the truth and, as such, aren't told the truth.
I would guess that 90% or more of the general adult aged citizenry wouldn't even be able to tell you what the UE rate is, what QE is, what the FED is, or what common equity is. They know what they are told.
It's sad. It sucks. It's frustrating. But, propoganda generally works and the government knows it.
.....last night Mrs. Rainman asked me who Tim Geithner was. Sigh.
Yea, well Mrs. Boilermaker continues to ask "why do they do that when it's not fair"...Thank god I have been on tap at the Boiler home.
Women have the faintest sense of survival.
What do you mean by that? I'm not being sarcastic, I don't understand.
Hi Ms. I hope I'm not stepping on toes replying to a question in a thread I was not a part of. IMHO Here is the crux: Women are absolutely the best survivors out there. Don't believe me? Get between a woman or virtually any female mammal and her little one. Nails, claws, teeth, etc. What these men are referring to, is long term planning given the possibility of economic/political/social collapse. Women look at you like you are crazy. My wife tells me that all the food I store will be thrown out by the kids after I die. I tell her I hope she is right. She says I dont need the firepower. I tell her I hope I never do. The only way to explain it is, to me it it like an insurance policy. Even If never used, the peace of mind provided is worth the time, effort and money; to me anyway.
My husband wanted a new 4WD pickup. I wanted food, guns, ammo and PM's. Wanna guess what's in the garage?
I am generalizing. Having said that, I think I love you. It's real this time. No really. (For good measure, if my wife ever sees this I will add /sarc)
She's mine damn-it, I loved her first.
Be careful, if you ask her to get a divorce, she's going to shoot you.
Basic Instinct?
Can a coon get in on this love-fest? I'll love any woman who likes the "basics" of life -- really, I mean LIFE. Without the items she listed there might not be much of that remaining.
My woman is totally on board with self reliance and survival, but doesn't want to think about the worst case scenario. It's a bit contradictory. She sort of tolerates the food, guns, ammo, and PM's. She thinks it is overkill but appreciates it nonetheless.
Hi Fernley Girl, did I mention that I'm in love with you?
My ex is a banker :( He is still drinking the Kool aid. I am into PM and food stocks.
He can have the house and car payments. When this all falls apart I will be hedged.
Be My Girl
Sorry. Be My Girl.
It's on like a neck bone brother.
I love you too. By the way, us old guys can do dogs too, its easy.
OK Rusty. You win. Only one question, now. Why is your dirt in boss keane's ditch?
"Why is your dirt in boss keane's ditch?"
Because it's my dirt.
Enjoyed that Rusty. God Bless!
Love you Man
Ya'll are giving me a big old shit eating grin. Don't listen to those boys Fernley, I love you. :~p
I don't think I want to know why your shorts are rusty...
Trust me, my shorts are not rusty...
No difference between individual men and women. Each person is different.
Spend a few weeks reading this site
I will say this, EVERY wife and Mother KNOWS when her child is being physically or mentally abused. The fucking majority ACCEPT and allow the abuse to happen.
ONLY the MINORITY take action.
Because their GODDAMNED security is more important than that of the children.
For a long time I thought it may be a sign of decaying modern society.
But recently I realized that it has always been that way and always will.
Very few people put the benefit of their family before their own well being.
Gully, I respect you and read some of your links. I beg to differ. I think most folks put their kids before themselves. If I am wrong about that, then nothing else matters. Most folks will protect their family. You can use that as your personal strong point. Most cops and firefighters and teachers will go home when tshtf. Remember that, and use it.
Maybe I was unclear. I was refering to the majority of abused children and those mothers.
But, I also think most people put their families second. Consider the Divorce rate for example, or individual debt.
"Most cops and firefighters and teachers will go home when tshtf. Remember that, and use it. "
I know nothing about Firemen, except from Rescue Me. Cops are like the old concentration camp gurad description, ' Some are good, some bad and some just doing their job". Plus they are people who want to be in control of others, thus the need tor the uniform and enforcing "the law". Just like politicians.
Teachers are the nanny state minders, who really cares where they go.
When the shit hits the fan most people will cave. At least in the US. One reason being an older population doesn't riot, unlike say Egypt where the median age is 24.
The second is we just don't care anymore. We have lived under dominance for so long people have either given up or adapted.
I believe the actions of the "public servants" in the face of Katrina may have proved your point. Cops were off the job and others left their posts to go home. Perhaps their families came first? I guess we'll have to have one of them post his/her own experience.
I completely disagree with you if commenting on "contemporary women" from free societies. Someone that cannot even defend/fend for themself cannot defend their child. Ever see a woman running from a mugger/rapist in high heels? No of course not because they lost that race the second they put their shoes on (or flip flops for that matter).
Or the complete utter lack of sense of self preservation by walking around half naked the moment the weather warms is like wearing meat pants in a tiger cage. Of course they are "allowed" in a free society to dress as inapropriately as they want but is it a good idea...probably not.
Not only that they are not mentally prepared it is like an instinctive light switch has been turned off for a century and the mere thought that harm can come to them, until it actually does, is alien. Walking home drunk and alone on dark streets, total lack of awarness of surroundings, texting and listening to music...it's like wearing a neon sign saying "Attack Me I'm Standing Right Here!" to those that would.
The lack of common sense is astounding, and that can apply to both genders, but clearly when it comes to getting physical females who are unprepared are casualties far more often.
The point I guess is that women are already vulnerable but they take few precautions to defend themselves, be prepared and aware of the constant dangers in the world. I'm sure there are exceptions but they are far fewer than the majority.
Humbly, the snap card crowd you are referring to is still less than half the population. Plus, that population is concentrated in certain areas as of now. Analogous data is not data, it is observation. You are close though.
Glad my daughter is working on her 2nd-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, then! I wonder if it will be advantageous for her to carry her katana after the Great Implosion...guess I'll get her a semi-auto pistol as well.
Just because someone learns a MA doesn't mean they will use it. There are hundreds of stories about trained Men and Women getting beaten, raped and murdered because they just can't do the simple thing like rip an eyeball out.
As someone said if you pull a weapon you better be prepared to use it.
Most people don't intentionally kill others. Unless it's heat of the moment or you are one of those special broken people lacking empathy it just isn't in ones nature.
Unless her TKD school is training her in full contact and she comes home bruised and aching, she ain't learning nothing but dance.
He's an elusive banskta scum, destroyer of futures, monetizer of debts, crony, spineless, little man...
...of which I don't know that which classifies him best
How much HIGHER would sandp be trading if the job losses had been factored in?
More job losses, leads to more money printing which leads to higher equities in nominal terms. Recovery BABY!!!
Why are these other jerks on CNBS STILL refusing to take off the rose-colored glasses? Do they get paid more for wearing them? It's as plain as the nose on a face that U6 is the ONLY pertinent number to be using!
It's as plain as the nose on a face that U6 is the ONLY pertinent number to be using!
That's because the more accurate U-7 number no longer exists. So much for wanting to know about the people "left behind".
You're kidding, right? How long would they have advertisers other than the same crap they sell on late night TV? The financial ads would disappear, and the Popeil Pocket Fisherman don't pay much.
The question is: how can we here on Zero Hedge and any other critical thinking venue know all of this, while the "recovery" theme be so consistently sold by the financial media, news media, corporate quarterly reports, and the government?
Can a conspiracy be so large? the answer to the question is: no. It is human nature not to tell the guy on the totem pole above you that you have failed (regardless of matters beyond your control). The end result is a chain of lies that eventually breaks when reality sets in. And when it does...look out. This has been my life since Sep 2008. It is breaking. I know because I am in the trenches and the shit will flow upstream at unbelievable speed in due course.
The BLS is a lie like everything else.
Where did you get those shades? ZH would market them. Oh wait REVO and the team would disagree.
I guess people forgot about this
Excellent case in point. These real events chip away at the big lie.
Wait... aren't we the ones criticizing China for fudging the numbers?
I believe that it was summed up is that they took it from the BLS playbook.....(-:
For the Year of the Rabbit...the Energizer Index.
It keeps going...and going....
So every night we come in here and learn that the government or specifically the BLS is fucking us with stats. How long do we need to come in here to learn this.
For one, I am fed up with the Fed, the government, and with blogs fucking us over with bogus statistics. We should know by know that the "good-guys" are being screwed, and it is getting worse.
All this is too much for me. I have learned, I am out of here.
As long as the lesson includes the virtues of owning Bullion, Bullets and Beans (Bitchez too?), then you can probably snatch the pebble from my hand, Grasshopper!
Who cares when we can have this:
So the 3 million jobs Janet Yellen promised QE2 would produce?
And seems like just yesterday (April 23, 2010) when Joe Biden (friend of Mubarack) said:
"Some time in the next couple of months we're going to be creating between 250,000 jobs a month and 500,000 jobs a month," Biden said at a fundraiser today in Pittsburgh. "
I can draw pictures of aerodynamic swine and add zeroes to my paycheck too, but I think the bank will issue me a reality check in return...
How much did this job growth cost, again?
A shitfuckload...but dont worry your kids will repudiate it somehow.
I believe it would have been cheaper to just send everyone a check.
For all you fed haters does this make you feel better? Fake jobs for fake dollars.....kinda karmic in a way.
Policy makers slam the ship of state into an iceberg at full speed, dismiss the damages, perform puppet shows, and accuse passengers of dangerously rocking the boat with their critical attitude.
When the water starts lapping at your ankles, you are free to believe it's just the plumbing backing up.
The figures are accurate if you don't dismiss the birth/death model, which probably includes less jobs needed for the people who will starve to death or be killed in riots next year.
"We won't even go into analyzing just how much worse the S&P would be trading..."
The Bernank has his hands firmly on the controls, so nvm.
- Ned
Woid is he wants to run the BIG MACHINE.
I have found the number I was looking for.
About 150,000 Americans turn 65 each month (retirement at full age). About that many turn 62 each month, too.
With a 1%/yr general population growth rate on 300 million ppl, that is 3 million new Americans/yr. Divide by 12 and it's about 250,000 people per month, presumably evenly distributed over the first 16 or 18 yrs.
So 150K disappear from the workforce to retirement each month, and 250K are added for a net 100K/month added.
Yet today's report dropped 500K from the workforce? What the hell is going on?
You proceede from an assumption that the 150K each month were "in the workforce". They may have simply shifted from lower to higher benefits on the dole. Conversly, they may have shifted from WalMart greeter to 'retired'. Thanks for creating an opening.
It was the Rapture. Apparently, the rest of us weren't invited.
I know I'm preaching (mostly) to the choir here, but this is downright criminal.
Hey guys click thru to goldline and how to stop debt collectors and all the ads. You might find something worthwhile and it probably gives zh some money. Buy a t shirt and wear it occasionally. I wish you hadnt dissed cramer so much he is a maverick.and sympathetic to the little guy. He called the bottom twice and was right the.second time and didnt hurt you if you went in at 8700 and held on. He is also now saying.gold to da moon! Maybe he will advertise again and support zero hedge. I watch cnbc all day and i can tell by the patterns.of.some of their comments that they check out td. Click on some ads and buy some t shirts bitchez.
And how about a t shirt that says Buy Gold Bitchez in memory of the guy who started it all. I forgot his name cuz i.dont see him post anymore.
Does this mean Ann Margaret is *not* coming?
Get real. Find a clip of Senta Berger.
Ann Margaret is a beautiful woman. Whether before her accident or after.
Senta was better. And, yes, Ann is a babe. But, for redheads, Senta.
Well you're old ass has been paying some good attention for a long time and as an almost old guy I appreciate it.
Just for yuks, I agree with the population decrease.
Jan. is death month, and a ton of people have left the country.
Unfortunately, those that left, have money and are smarter than the average bear (hence left).
Voting proclivities are unknown.
Capital flight, bitchez!
"Unfortunately, those that left, have money and are smarter than the average bear (hence left)."
I read an article about how illegal immigrants were returning home because they have better opportunities there than in the US.
Supposedly had a major economic impact on California.
It just fucking sucks that every Government stooge just stands up and flat out lies. I have to come to this site for the truth and a bit of comic relief - "Iosif Shalom Bernanke" - HA!
Personally, I puke on every data point. Bulimics are pussies!
If you want to rant? I respect that. Just rant in a smart way. Thank you. EG; charts, trend-lines or policies. But hell I'm stuck in Cairns looking at flattened sugar cane fields, after flying on a puny g-5 all night through Brisbane.
David Stockman on CNBS ripping apart the unemployment numbers:
Stockman - "Where is the half million jobs that were lost in the last 30 days that nobody talked about? I'm talking about the once a year re-benchmarking of the number of absolute jobs in the economy. 30 days ago we're told there are 130.7 million jobs in the economy (December), this morning it was 130.2 (million jobs). That's the half million."
Faber - "That's how we went from 9.4 to 9.0 (percent unemployment) of course because our denominator went down."
Saw that, and he wasn't kicked off. Poor Mike Pento; shills aren't allowed to speak truth.
The number that was reported this morning, the 130.2 million jobs, was a number first reached in 1999. In other words, over the last 12 years, the U.S. has not created a job...according to the BLS (paraphrasing Stockman).
No net jobs in 12 years. Nothing to see here, moving on....
Well I don't think there is any question about it. It can only be attributable to human error. This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error
Well HAL, it's hard to deny it. After all, if YOU were to make a mistake, it was a Human that programmed you 2! 2! 2! 2!...
Last update shows 128,164,000 total nonfarm payrolls. The first time the 128m mark was crossed was November 1998.
Also in November 1998, the total population was 277,277,000. Now it is 311,256,000.
So, we have 33,979,000 more people living in the U.S. than in 1998, and the exact same number of people working. Nothing good can be said about this. This is a recipe for absolute disaster... tax base, social security, medicare, budget deficits, trade deficits, you name it.
equals 2. The number required to have an intelligent conversation.
Pink! How can one have an intelligent conversation with one that is color blind?
The sixties were a wild time.
Have a Cigar - Pink Floyd (Lyrics)
Anyone care to pool for a bus fund to DC?
Leave. Leave. Leave Now.
Good chant for in front of 1600 Penn Av by 2 people.
That should work; lamestream can't do simple math.
I heard Rush Limbaugh refer to ZH website on his show today. He didn't seem to know who Tyler Durden was.
ZH going MSM?
Yep, twice ZH was mentioned, and Tyler once.
Anybody know who Tyler is?
My Daughter and I are in agreement: We DO NOT want to meet Tyler Durden!

Migrant Education Summer Camp
Updated: Friday, August 2 2013, 10:18 PM EDT
Using the creatures of the deep to get kids interested in science and technology.
It's an education program that's still going strong, more than 50 years later.
There's a national program that started back in the 60's and it's still going strong today.
It's the Migrant Education Summer Camp and as you'll see our Never Stop Learning report, this year it combines science and technology with the creatures of the deep.
This morning students are at Woodfin Elementary learning about the sting ray, the seal and other animals that live in the sea.
About 35 students who's families work in agriculture are taking part in the summer camp.
They research information about the different oceans and use math to compare and contrast the different sized animals that live there.
Each lesson is design for different grade levels ensuring that all of the students soak up as much knowledge as possible.
Each student will prepare a presentation to show off what they've learned this summer.
The migrant summer camp is a federally funded program.

Southampton Solent University is celebrating 10 years of being awarded university status in 2015. It continues to develop as a dynamic and ambitious international University with more than 19,000 students based at city-centre and waterfront campuses.
The university prides itself on excellent employability, focusing on courses that offer real-life job opportunities, placements, internships, and industry expertise and networking opportunities. Solent was one of the first universities to be granted the new Small Business Charter, recognising its exceptional engagement with small- to medium-sized businesses (SMEs) and the strength of its support for student entrepreneurs
The university is a Skillset-accredited centre of excellence in television production, broadcast journalism, screenwriting and performance, with industry-standard expertise in live event broadcast, studio and post-production. Students are part of the official Glastonbury festival filming team, and regularly work on BBC events. Maritime studies is also a particular strength, with courses in yacht design producing some of the most influential designers in the industry. The alumni list includes gold-medal Olympians and record-breaking solo sailors.
£9,000 for full-time undergraduates in 2015-16.
The university offers a range of financial support, including an award for care leavers worth £1,500 a year. Students whose household income is less than £25,000 will receive £500 a year to help with course costs. Visit the university website for full details.
The university provides 2,340 places. Fees range from £94.99 to £138.60 week (for 41 weeks), inclusive of bills (the more expensive rate is for ensuite).
Work has begun on a new £30m teaching and learning building on the main campus in the centre of Southampton, due for completion later in 2015.
A new £1.4m city-centre site for the school of art and design was officially opened in June 2012, and a £4.m industry-standard, FA-accredited sports facility operational opened in May 2012. The university also has a state-of-the-art £2m media academy including newsroom, computer and video-game design areas, and photography, radio and music studios.
Solent's world-leading maritime facilities include a new engine-room imulator, one of the world's first superyacht academies, and a £3m shipping-handling centre, one of only five in the world.
The city has excellent transport links by road, rail and air, thanks to the nearby Southampton International airport, which links with a number of cities in the north of England, Scotland, Ireland and the Channel Islands.

text: Marvel Introduces A New Muslim Character By Laura Fawaz, Contributing Reporter Marvel Comics introduction of Kamala Khan goes as "Ms. Marvel Doesn't Drink, Date Or Eat Bacon.†Living in Jersey City, she is a 16-year-old public high school student, and the first Muslim superhero to star in her own mainstream comic book series. Just like any other superhero, she will be up against villains and carrying out her superpowers in the name of good. All while struggling to somewhat figure out what it means to have these superpowers and still maintain her regular life. But because of her unique background, one that is new to the mainstream American entertainment world, she'll also have the struggles that many young American Muslim teens, particularly those of immigrant parents, face … being trying to mesh that American identity with the one she inherited, creating that third hybrid culture for herself. G. Willow Wilson is the author of this new hero and was interviewed on the NPR show Tell Me More. He was asked questions such as "can she be a superhero with a curfew? Can she be a superhero who doesn't eat bacon?†His response: "You know, a lot of it is this day-to-day stuff that we don't even think about as being significant. … She does wear a mask. And that's kind of part of her dilemma is that she's not kind of an out superhero, because she doesn't want to bring that scrutiny on her family or her background.†Her family was partly the reason of creating this series, in order to show that there is a huge diversity of belief and practice within the American Muslim community. So Kamala was introduced as the sort of more relaxed end of the spectrum, but observant in the fact that she doesn't drink alcohol or date. She has an older brother who is a bit firmer in his beliefs and actions. He's very involved in his local mosque and is very idealistic. But their father on the other hand, is a little bit more laid back and progressive, and especially has high hopes for his daughter in terms of her career. Their differences are underscored by their love for one-another, but still describes the religious diversity even amongst some immediate families. Wilson touched on the notion that introducing Kamala is just the start of what is happening in the comics industry right now. The diversity that we are seeing is to make as much room at the table for as many people as possible. Martin Goodman founded Marvel Comics in 1939, and brought us characters such as the Hulk and Captain America. 16-7 February 6, 2014 by TMO 0 comments 25 viewson *The Muslim Observer, 16-7, Arts & Culture, Entertainment, MMN News Services, MMNS, National, Volume 16 Share this post Facebook Twitter Google plus Pinterest Linkedin Mail this article Print this article Next: The Super Bowl of War: Three Decades of Failure in Afghanistan Previous: What Studying the Prophet (s) Taught Me About Islam

Even as a young child, I was always caring for my pets and "doctoring" my dolls. My family has always taught us to care for others. My favorite aunt was a nurse and she taught me a lot about home health care. I have volunteered to be the "Safety/First Aid" person in group camping events. I recently graduated top of my class in a Certified Nursing Assistant program, and I am now a fully licensed C. N. A.
I enjoy taking care of people - finding out what they like and don't like with food and all other care needs. I enjoy researching how to make meals for special needs and food allergy patients.
I find with each new patient I'm constantly learning new skills and techniques. Each patient is unique and I enjoy learning about their needs by talking with family, medical staff and research.
Caring is just part of who I am.

Preschool Children's Friendship and Peer Acceptance: Links to Social Competence
Lindsey, Eric W., Child Study Journal
Preschool children (166 three- to six-year-aids; M age = 62 months) were interviewed using standard sociometric procedures and teachers were asked to rate children's aggression and peer competence. Based on children's reciprocal like most nominations, 73% of children had at least one mutual friendship and 27% had two or more mutual friendships. Children with at least one mutual friend were better liked by peers and were rated by teachers as being more competent than children with no mutual friend. Longitudinal analysis with 36 children followed over two years revealed that children with at least one mutual friend at year one were better liked by peers a year later than children with no mutual friend, even after controlling for children's year one peer acceptance level. In addition, both concurrent and longitudinal analyses revealed that children who were mutual friends were similar in their level of aggression, peer competence, and peer acceptance. The findings of this study suggest that mutual friendship is an important factor in children's social development as early as the preschool years.
Children's ability to form positive relationships with peers represents an important component of social development (Newcomb & Bagwell, 1996). One feature of children's peer relationships of interest to both parents and teachers is the phenomena of friendship. Evidence suggests that children begin to discriminate among peer partners and form preferences for particular playmates within their peer groups as early as toddlerhood (Corsaro, 1985; Howes, 1983; Ross & Lollis, 1989). By preschool, over half of all children have reciprocated friendships and many of these friendships are stable over time (Gershman & Hayes, 1983). Evidence suggests that these early friendships may be differentiated from other peer relationships by the amount of time children spend in close proximity to each other and by friends' engagement in reciprocal and complementary interaction (Howes, 1983; Howes & Phillipsen, 1992). Despite the early appearance of friendships, there is a noticeable lack of attention given to the study of prescho ol children's friendships (Newcomb & Bagwell, 1995). Consequently, questions remain concerning the unique characteristics of children's friendships compared to other aspects of peer relationships in the preschool years, as well as questions about the role that similarity plays in preschool children's friendships.
In order to determine the developmental significance of children's friendships, it is important to consider how the ability to establish and maintain a friendship is related to other dimensions of children's social functioning. In particular, researchers have pointed to the necessity of distinguishing between children's peer group acceptance and having friends (e.g., Bukowski & Hoza, 1989; Parker & Asher, 1993). Acceptance refers to being generally well liked by a group of peers, rather than participation in a specific dyadic relationship. Friendship, in contrast, is a close dyadic relationship between two individuals. Research with school-age children and adolescents suggests that acceptance and friendship are unique, but related, domains of children's peer relationships (see Asher, Parker, & Walker, 1996). In one of the only studies to examine both friendship status and peer acceptance in early childhood, Ladd (1990) found that children who formed new friendships in their Kindergarten classroom experienced improvements in school performance over the course of the year. In contrast, peer rejection predicted less favorable attitudes toward school, greater school avoidance, and lower levels of academic performance at the end of the school year. Although the author did not compare the relative contribution of friendship status and peer rejection to school adjustment, his findings suggest that both may provide preschoolers with different developmental opportunities, and may differ in adaptive significance. …

I make no apologies for the WiFi industry. I do have a stick post over in the CNET Networking Forum where we go over the usual limitations of WiFi SSID names, passwords and more.
For example if WiFi drops we make sure the router is within 20 feet. This is not a laptop or PC. It's range is much less.
Hi All,
First of all I apologies for my lack of 'tech' speak and general rubbish knowledge of all things technical, but here I go anyway..............
I have a Samsung UE46ES6800 LED TV which I'm having a nightmare with when trying to connect using wifi to my home network.
I have a Vigin Media super hub which everything in the house is connected to without problem, 1 iPhone, 1 iPad, 2 Kindle fires, 3 BlackBerry's, 2 laptops.... you get the message right??
But I've no idea why the connection to my tv and Samsung blu-ray keeps dropping out? It lets me check for updates and tells me all the software is up to date, but when I try to use Samsung Apps etc, I have to keep checking my network settings. The majority of the time it says its connected to the hub but not the internet, sometimes neither connects and sometimes its connected to both! Weyhey! but then try to go to apps and get either 'check network' or and error code....
Anyone help????

Over the last two decades, we have made major strides in the fight to end polio – reducing cases worldwide by 99%. Polio is now endemic in just three countries – Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan. But we need your help to finish the last mile in the race to end the disease. Until eradicated, polio anywhere is a threat to children everywhere.
Here is the truth. You don't have to be a world leader to make a difference. You can be a champion in the global effort to eradicate polio by telling your elected officials to help.
Tell your Member of Congress that NO CHILD should be crippled by an easily preventable disease like polio. The United States has been a long time partner of the global effort to end this disease and we need to continue the momentum to make polio history.

Welcome to Enetrix.com where we post information about cool and interesting engineering and technologies used today.
Featured Posts:
Visit our Blog to see all our articles.
One of the most exciting materials in Industry today is Graphene. The potential of this wonder material could have many far-reaching applications in the wider world of technology.
Graphene is a crystalline allotrope of carbon atoms, arranged in a hexagon, a single carbon atom in thickness! It's amazing properties include:
- Strength – this material is one hundred times stronger than the same thickness of steel
- Lightness – it weighs just 0.77 of a gram per square meter
- Excellent conductivity of both heat and electricity – better than Copper
- It repels water
Graphene Could Replace Batteries One Day
Capacitors are commonly used in Electronics – for example, to power the flash in cameras. However, although capacitors and supercapacitors can store a big charge, those made with ordinary carbon cannot hold a lot of power by comparison with batteries.
Research into developing Graphene supercapacitors could change all that. Etching the surface of the Graphene with lasers massively increases the surface area allowing much more energy to be stored in just a tiny chip making them much better than conventional carbon capacitors.
The potential applications are very exciting; Graphene capacitors can be recharged many more times than batteries without needing to be replaced and could make batteries in computers, mobile phones and even electric cars obsolete in the future.
Graphene Technology Could Protect Our Troops and Firefighters
In an article published on the University of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia, website, (http://media.uow.edu.au/news/UOW118285.html), there is a report about how Australian researchers have been able to manufacture a material even stronger than Kevlar by adding equal parts of Graphene and Carbon nanotubes to a polymer. The resultant fibers can be spun and incorporated into fabrics for a variety of uses including bullet-proof clothing for Police Officers and Troops.
In the United States, researchers at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio are working on a material incorporating Graphene that can be made into uniforms for Firefighters to protect them from sudden flashes of heat and flame by automatically closing 'pores' in the fabric.
Graphene Could Make Our World a Safer Place
After a Nuclear Accident such as the one at Fukushima that happened after the Tsunami hit Japan, a massive cleanup operation has to take place. Researchers at Moscow State University and at Rice University in the US have discovered that microscopically small particles of Graphene oxide make a brilliant way to clean up radioactive contaminants both safely and cheaply. It binds to the Nuclear waste, causing the tiny particles to form clumps of material that are much easier to collect.
Applications for this technology go beyond the Nuclear industry as Graphene oxide could be used to capture the contaminants generated by mining and drilling operations and prevent them from entering the water system.
Graphene could also be used to detect explosives! Graphene foam can detect nitrates and ammonia commonly found in explosives – even at very low concentrations. New York's Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has developed a tiny sensor, just the size of a postage stamp that could become a vital tool in Bomb detection and protect our troops.
Manufacturing Graphene
The original method of making this amazing material was to flake individual atomic layers from Graphite. As this is not a commercially viable method of making it in large enough quantities, many groups are working to devise a better, faster, more cost-effective way of doing so.
One of the most exciting developments is reported in a blog article on Case Western Reserve University's (CWRU) 'Think' website (http://blog.case.edu/think/2012/03/26/simple_cheap_way_to_massproduce_graphene_nanosheets) where South Korean and CWRU researchers have devised an ingenious way to mass-produce Graphene Nanosheets. The 'race is on' – as it seems that there are many more uses for this wonder material than have even been thought of – yet!

"Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, pur pur pur!" is what I thought of when I saw the title. I immediately thought of The Big Bang Theory (a show on tv that my mom loves) and well, I'm not gonna bore you with that. Anyway, that's an adorable kitten! Awesome shot

On Monday a crane was spotted building out the dock for the East River Ferry service coming to North 6th Street on the Williamsburg waterfront, and today the Brooklyn Paper reports the service will begin
on June 13th later next month. The CEO of New York Waterway tells the paper that while he thinks it's going to take time build up a real ridership, the fact that the ferry will have departures every 20 minutes during peak hours on weekdays will mean "people don't think of it as appointment ridership." The fares will run $4 for a single ride and $140 for a monthly pass. Update: A spokesperson for the ferry says the service won't begin on June 13th; we'll update this post with the target start date when we hear more.

Looks like they changed pricing since the initial announcment to use a single, rather than tiered, price. Service isn't late enough for me to take home, but hopefully still will beat the morning L.
i sure wish ferry went to one other stop in manhattan, like 14th or something. i wonder why they didn't do that. maybe it would make the route too long.
is it four dollars per stop!? that's too expensive. another new thing created in NYC to keep the poors away. sad.
If it only it made stops at the Navy Yard for Ft. Greene/Clinton Hill folk.
How does that keep the poor away? Things cost money to operate. You mean the poor that have money to buy Old E, lottery tickets and cigarettes at the bodega. Sir, or Ma'am you are inept and no matter what you post on this site, it will never be taken seriously, other than the fact that you are inept. A person living within their means, even in NYC can afford a ferry ride, provided they spend their money wisely.
Four dollars PER RIDE not per stop.
ew, i do NOT buy lotto tickets. you have me confused with someone else
oh okay per ride isnt so bad
You can't afford lotto tickets on account of the cash you spend on cigarettes
get out of my purse!
For the relatively small number of people who live within walking distance of a ferry stop and work within walking distance of Pier 11, this may be an option, at almost twice the price of a subway ride. But it's hard to see this attracting enough ridership to be viable, even with the substantial city subsidy it receives. And most people who did this would probably still be buying a metrocard for their other travels.
The Staten Island Ferry (speaking of heavily subsidized service) works because it has direct subway and bus connections at both ends.
this is just a start, a must do for Kent Avenue, and good for dumbo won't make money for some time… if a crane is there, absent photos, i don't imagine 6/13 is real…. who cares, this is good news
I wonder if the timing is wrong, since Domino isn't built yet and the Greenpoint's waterfront development hasn't really begun. At the end of the day, viable ferry service has to be part of the solution to North Brooklyn's impending transportation overload, it makes too much sense.
I don't know that you're tied to the east side. I believe you can take the free ferry bus across 34th st.
This isn't just for Wall Street – the stop at 34th will connect to a shuttle bus that covers much of midtown (up to 42nd I think). Certainly good for anyone working at the med centers on the east side, but also for people in midtown. And the ability to go from North 6th or India to Dumbo in about 10 or 15 minutes is a pretty big deal.
Domino won't add a ferry stop for years – that phase of the project relies on having most of the waterfront parcels built out and the waterfront esplanade completed. Phase I of Domino won't break ground until next year (at the earliest), and that phase isn't on the waterfront.
There are still major obstacles to making this a viable transportation alternative (double fares and all the other things mentioned), but this should be a big first step towards viability. And they need a lot of riders to make it profitable, even with the large subsidies the city is putting in.
Red Hook would really benefit from this and why they don't extend this one stop to the pier behind Fairway is beyond me.

Posted by Reviewer1268591 on May 23, 2009
The taste is o.k. blend with a small amount of water and then use ginger ale. Don't put a lot of liquid in at first, it does not mix easily. The list of ingredients is impressive. How can you ever really tell if something is working or not?? I like the product. Is it as good as it sounds? Who knows.
This seems like a good product
Posted by filmoyster on Oct 27, 2009
I'd have to take it for a while to know, but I did like how it instantly blended with water and did not have a strong, bitter flavor. Would be good to throw in a smoothie.

It was bad enough being hauled out of bed by palace guards. Now Victoria McCallan had just offered to pay off her father's gambling debts--with herself as the prize! So the palace secretary was shocked when sexy Prince Kateb made her a counteroffer....
When Kateb whisked Victoria off to the desert to be his mistress for six months, the widowed ruler had no intention of falling in love. But the outspoken Texas transplant was soon tempting him to change his royal ways. Duty decreed the El Deharia sheik should wed a proper mate, but Kateb's heart was telling him something else: to claim Victoria as his woman--now and forever.

A couple of weeks ago, at the Intelligent Systems Leadership Summit, I had a chance to catch David Wurster's presentation on new features and functionality in the Windows Embedded 8 platform. As senior product marketing manager for Embedded, David has a great vantage point to see all of the cool things going on with Windows Embedded 8 as the new suite of products are rolled out over the next year. The following is a blog post he put together for me, so we could share those features in this space.
Over the next year, we're bringing Windows 8 to the embedded market, allowing OEMs, enterprises, developers and other partners to build devices and applications that offer a high-performance, fast, fluid experience without sacrificing any of the security and flexibility that the reimagined Windows delivers:
We've done a lot of work to make sure Windows Embedded 8 is ready for the world of intelligent systems. In the end, it's all about being able to deliver the kind of rich, compelling, connected line-of-business experiences that people expect.
Much of the excitement around the new platform centers on its multi touch and ten-point touch experiences and the capabilities they enable for the device world. Check out the demo video below for a look at how smooth Windows Embedded 8-based applications can be:

Comments Intelligent Systems
In March, we marked a major milestone for enterprises, OEMs and our entire ecosystem: the general availability of Windows Embedded 8. Today Microsoft took the second step as part of our commitment to help enterprises capitalize on Microsoft's devices and services strategy by harnessing the power of Windows throughout intelligent systems. Now, enterprises can access specific versions of Windows Embedded 8 directly from Microsoft. The new volume licensing options for specific versions of Windows Embedded 8 offer enterprises the opportunity to upgrade their Windows Embedded software to Windows Embedded 8 Industry, seamlessly and affordably, without upgrading their devices. It also allows enterprises to unlock powerful enterprise features in their devices already running on Windows Embedded 8 Standard.
Recently, I joined our partners at Ford for the European launch of Ford SYNC with MyFord Touch at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin.
At IFA Ford announced that this version of Ford SYNC—which includes a touchscreen interface—will be coming to Europe in 2013 in the Ford Focus Electric.
While I was at the conference I participated in a roundtable discussion with Ford and a few other industry experts to discuss the future of the connected car. The connected car focuses on how the vehicle experience can be enhanced when you integrate internet connectivity, data, and new user interface technologies like speech and touch.
The subject of the connected car is especially near and dear to us in Windows Embedded – and not only because Ford SYNC is built on the Windows Embedded Automotive software platform. When we talk about intelligent systems as the evolution of the embedded device market, it's exciting to see how this is affecting the automotive industry.
Comments Windows Embedded Automotive
If you've seen the World of Windows video, you've seen how many embedded devices can fit into a given day (assuming you are really busy that day), but, during a recent trip to Ft. Lauderdale, I saw what may be one of the biggest uses of Microsoft technology. And I can't over emphasize the size of it.
At nearly a quarter mile long, Royal Caribbean has built the two biggest cruise ships in the world – the Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas. To put that size in perspective, the Oasis of the Seas can cast a shadow on a 20 story building while stretching across four football fields – and there's capacity for 8,600 people.
As the General Manager of Product Marketing at Windows Embedded, I make it a priority to visit our partners and see intelligent systems in action – and the intelligent system built by the team at Royal Caribbean is remarkable to see in person.

Delicious ribs and excellent service! :)

Ohio may be in the Midwest, but the menu at Windy City BBQ Ribs aims to transport diners to another part of the country. Chef and pitmaster Brandon Shy lives up to his slogan of "Put some south in your mouth!" with a heaping spread of southern-style barbecue, from smoked ribs and rotisserie chicken to Dixie sides such as and potato salad and collared greens. Guests can sign their name on the eatery's Wall of Fame after enjoying a meal in the small indoor and outdoor seating areas. The meat emporium shuts down each day when the food is gone, so calling or sending up smoke signals in advance is recommended.

A Great Way to Experience Jasminum Grandiflorum
6 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1746353 on Jul 11, 2012
This is a way to get a subtle but complete and full scent of jasmine essential oil. At 100% pure, jasmine is an orange-brown, thick liquid with an intense aroma. One drop goes a long way. Now Essential Oils gives us a 7.5% blend of pure jasmine mixed with grapeseed oil that works. Seven drops yields just over a half of drop of pure oil that I rub into the center of my forehead, temples and wrists, thus spreading it out and allowing it to give me a really great aromatherapy experience. It will lift your Spirit. After trying this oil, if you feel you want to take jasmine to the next level, there are some 100% pure absolute oils available commercially. Start here.

The fragrance is very weak. The piece of hard plastic below the lid which is supposed to replace a decent dropper is a bad idea -- it nearly causes you to spill every time you have to struggle to remove it. I finally had to just throw it away.

Jasmine is hard to find and expense. This is a great way to experiment using Jasmine without paying exorbitant price. Very good for use in a diffuser for romance. This is an absolute so it is extracted by solvent. For this reason use only two or three drops max in tbsp of carrier oil.

Jasmine promotes sensuality and relaxed awareness. It's really great for people with anxiety. I like to dab a little of this on my wrist as a natural perfume or add a few drops to my bath water. The scent is particularly beautiful in the spring and summer. Besides it's amazing scent, it also has antidepressant, aphrodisiac, and sedative properties. NOW Foods brand is always a great bargain.

2005 Mercedes-Benz S430 Problems
The relay which turns the airmatic suspension pump on may fail causing the pump to run continuously. This can result in failure of the pump motor or a dead battery as the pump motor will continue to run after the car is turned off. Also, Worn airmatic pump mount bushings can causes noises in the front axle while driving on bumpy roads or a buzzing noise while the pump is running.
I have not had this problem fixed. I was wondering if anyone out there had the same problem. I can't get the trunk to open using the key or the remote.
CD changers, command units, voice control units, PSE units, and Tele Aid units are prone to failure, especially in early models.
