Over-the-year changes in State unemployment rates
September 29, 2010
In August, 26 States and the District of Columbia posted unemployment rate decreases from a year earlier, 21 States reported increases, and 3 had no change.
There were statistically significant over-the-year jobless rate decreases in 8 States in August, the largest of which were in Alabama (‑1.4 percentage points), Tennessee (‑1.3 points), and North Carolina (‑1.2 points).
Montana and Florida recorded the only significant rate increases from August 2009 (+1.0 and +0.7 percentage point, respectively).
The remaining 40 States and the District of Columbia registered unemployment rates that were not appreciably different from those of a year earlier.
Among the regions, the Midwest was the only region to register a significant rate change from a year earlier (‑0.6 percentage point).
Nevada again reported the highest unemployment rate among the States, 14.4 percent in August, which was a new series high. The States with the next highest rates were Michigan, 13.1 percent, and California, 12.4 percent. North Dakota continued to register the lowest jobless rate, 3.7 percent, followed by South Dakota and Nebraska, at 4.5 and 4.6 percent, respectively.
These data are from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics program and are seasonally adjusted. Data for the most recent month are preliminary. For more information, see "Regional and State Employment and Unemployment — August 2010" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-10-1316.

"On Top of the Rocks" Santorini Island by goglobe
Santorini Island Travel Guide: 1,598 reviews and 5,286 photos
Aren't they just so? Like seagulls perhaps, these dwellers (mostly are hotel occupants as we see here) perch on the rocky slopes, which are so characteristic of this island.
The pier beneath this giantic volcanic formation is primarily for travellers and tourists coming by the wide-bodied cruises. I also travelled from Mykonos to Santorini by those fabulous ferries.
The city centre is in fact high up on the flat land on this volcanic isle, and it's amazing when coaches deliver you through meandering routes up the cliff rocks to the city centre.
So they say, you'll see the most magnificient sunset atop the cliff. Alas, not on that late afternoon when I got there. It's said that the evening glow paints the white walls a brilliant patch of gold. Yet no one was disappointed, as they really sampled the sea breeze, blending so nicely with the pleasant environment of the busy narrow streets crisscrossing up there. It's another wonder when shops all light up with lamps, creating an almost magical atmosphere all around you

Has GXT been tested against any build of GWT 2.0 yet?
14 Aug 2009 8:04 AM #2
Yes and it works quite fine. GXT 2.0.1 doesnt work against the latest trunk build because of some public method changes in GWT.
GXT trunk (2.1) works without any problems
14 Aug 2009 8:07 AM #3
Cool, yea, I ran into the public method problems. Can't wait to use OOPHM!
14 Aug 2009 2:57 PM #4
Is GXT going to go with GWT 2.0's new style of border layout, using css rules? They demoed this in one of their google io talks. It makes for a smoother resize than is possible with any script.

Ferguson's much-awaited autobiography was released to the press on Tuesday, ahead of its general publication date on Thursday, and did not disappoint those hoping for an insight into some of the rows that marked his lengthy career at United.
One of the most prominent targets was Beckham, who has an 11-page chapter reserved for him. Ferguson claims the world famous midfielder thought he was bigger than his manager, resulting in his departure from Old Trafford in 2003.
"The minute a Manchester United player thought he was bigger than the manager, he had to go," he wrote. "David thought he was bigger than Alex Ferguson. That was the death knell for him.
"David was the only player I managed who chose to be famous, who made it his mission to be known outside the game. I felt uncomfortable with the celebrity aspect of his life."
Of the famous incident in February 2003 when Ferguson kicked a boot that connected with Beckham's face following a game against Arsenal, Ferguson wrote: "He was around 12 feet from me. David swore. I moved towards him and, as I approached, I kicked a boot. It hit him right above the eye.
"Of course, he rose to have a go at me and the players stopped him. 'Sit down,' I said. 'You've let your team down. You can argue as much as you like.' I called him in the next day to go through the video and he still would not accept his mistake. As he sat listening to me, he didn't say a word. Not a word.
"'Do you understand what we're talking about, why we got on to you?' I asked. He didn't even answer me. The next day the story was in the press. In public, an Alice band highlighted the damage inflicted by the boot. It was in those days that I told the board David had to go."
Regarding Keane, his former captain who left the club in acrimonious circumstances following some severe criticism of his team-mates in an unaired programme on MUTV, Ferguson also spoke candidly.
"Roy overstepped his mark, absolutely overstepped his mark," said Ferguson in a press conference to launch his autobiography. "That's the sort of personality he has. For some reason he decided to criticise his team-mates. He did it in an MUTV show but we couldn't release that video.
"A few days later a few of the younger players were booed as a result of what he'd said. So we decided we had to do something. The meeting we had in that room was horrendous. But I just couldn't lose the control of that situation. If I had let it pass, the players would have looked at me differently, much differently."
In the autobiography itself - where he describes the infamous MUTV interview as a "joke" and a "disgrace" - Ferguson writes of the former Republic of Ireland international: "The hardest part of Roy's body is his tongue. He has the most savage tongue you can imagine. He can debilitate the most confident person in the world in seconds with that tongue.
"What I noticed about him that day when I was arguing with him was that his eyes started to narrow, almost to wee black beads. It was frightening to watch. And I'm from Glasgow."
Ferguson's relationship with Wayne Rooney became strained in 2010 when the striker said he would not sign a new contract because the club did not share his ambition.
"Wayne said we should have pursued Mesut Ozil who had joined Real Madrid from Werder Bremen. My reply was that it was none of his business. I told him it was his job to play and perform.
"It was a sorry episode for Wayne because it portrayed him as a money man. With the fans, it left a residue of mistrust."
Ferguson said he was offered the England manager's job before Sven-Goran Ericsson was appointed in 2001 and before that in 1999 when the job went to Kevin Keegan.
"There was no way I could contemplate taking the England job, can you imagine me doing that?," the Scot said.
"No, it wasn't a bed of nails I was ever tempted to lie on."

In my Newbie error I set her mailbox to 20MB, (insert teasing comments here)
I then rectified this and set her e-mail inbox size to default in Exchange 2007.

.- The secretary of the Bishops' Conference of Brazil, Bishop Odilo Pedro Scherer, said this week the evangelization of young people "is one of the most important aspects of the Church's missionary activity, since it involves handing on to the new generations the legacy of faith."
In an interview with the FIDES news agency, Bishop Odilo said the issue of reaching out to the youth was discussed at the bishops' recent general assembly and that they are aware they must reach a better understanding of the youth of today in order to identify various ways of proclaiming the Gospel to them.
More important than finding the ideal path is to "approach young people with love, help them to have a personal encounter with Jesus Christ," Bishop Odilo said, because "Youth is synonymous with hope and future."
He also revealed that the Brazilian bishops would soon issue a pastoral letter on the evangelization of youth to encourage the whole Church to reflect on the question and make suggestions, taking into consideration present day society, its challenges and young people. "Globalization, IT and cultural changes," Bishop Odilo said, "mean problems and dangers but also new opportunities. We must put these new means to good use". In the work of evangelisation," he added, "it is necessary to keep in mind that many university students are attracted to science and technology and they have the right to be taught the fundamentals of faith so they realise there is no opposition between faith and reason".

* You can use onion instead of shallot.
**You can use frozen chopped broccoli instead of spinach.
A great side dish is cooked and drained spaghetti noodles with about 1/2 zuchinni grated and 1-2 different flavors cheese, salt and pepper. Just toss. Serve with French bread.
I think the measurement of spinach is too much. I couldn't taste the other things that was mixed with the spinach. I would make this again.

Every time I read about the next big thing from Samsung I get giddy. I am A Samsung Galaxy Note 4 owner and cant wait for the next big thing. This phone has everything so I cant imagine what that next thing will be. If The could improve the battery life that would help. The fact that the Note series is not water resistant is a little disappointing but I can see that the stylus kind of make that difficult. I hope they continue to have external SD card support as well as replaceable battery. Luke Weil is a IPhone guy and will never leave them.

There are so many sites touting themselves as viable work from home options. Most offer insane amounts of money for a few hours of work a few days a week. While there may be some validity in their claims, there is always the disclaimer. That disclaimer is "results not typical". All of these advertisements and all of the noise that surrounds them only mask the true, viable, part-time, work from home solution. People who are new to this type of work, or those that have tried everything and suffer from the frustration of broken promises should all know that there is work that is easy and can be counted upon. Seven Dollar Click is a real site that will pay real money to people that can follow simple directions.
Seven Dollar Click provides a service called PTC (paid to click) to companies that are trying to drive traffic to their sites. Companies spend millions of dollars every year on marketing, and this is just one of the investments they make.
The Internet is not unlike other forms of retail. If companies want to bring in business, they need visitors to their store, and they need to have product seen. PTC, as provided by Seven Dollar Click, is a way to do this.
Every time someone visits an online store because of an advertisement, a path is blazed. Just as a trail forms and becomes wider as more people follow it, Internet paths become more productive and visible from continued use.
The Internet is smart though. The same person or computer can't simply follow a path over and over and pave it out for everyone. If it was this simple, businesses wouldn't need PTC. It isn't that simple and that is precisely why Seven Dollar Click exists and why they need people like you to join their site.
In order for businesses to market effectively, to build paths to their stores and merchandise, and to maximize the efficiency of other forms of marketing, they go to Seven Dollar Click and request that members take a few moments of their day to follow these paths. In return for the service and the time out of your day, these companies will pay real money.
Seven Dollar Click is a real site that these companies pay to find members. Seven Dollar Click contracts a fee with those companies and then pays the members for the work that is carried out. Members really can make seven dollars for a click if they can do the work as instructed. See SevenDollarClick.com for details.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The accidental mixture of an acid and a caustic liquid at an Oregon dairy processor tank has sickened 11 people.
Portland Fire & Rescue spokesman Paul Corah says none of the 11 people's respiratory symptoms was believed to be life-threatening.
The chemicals were mixed at a tank at West Farm Foods. Firefighters evacuated the plant of its workers Wednesday morning.
Crews were working late Wednesday to keep the tank from overheating.
The reaction was set off when 450 gallons of acid were accidentally offloaded from a truck into 1,150 gallons of the caustic liquid.
The chemical reaction heated the tank and the temperature reached 120 degrees. Technicians say the tank could melt and the combined liquids could leak into the ground if the temperature reaches 150 degrees.

Contrary to reports that Sunny Leone may not do an item number in "Singh Sahib The Great", filmmaker Anil Sharma says he is keen to shoot the song with her and that they are working on her dates.
"Sunny Leone is a wonderful human being. She is a very good friend. We are trying to work on her dates. She is busy with her other projects. There are some date issues and nothing more than that. I want to work with her and we are trying to incorporate an item number with her," Anil Sharma told IANS.
There were rumours that the film's main lead Sunny Deol has refused to work with the Indo-Canadian porn star as he wasn't too pleased when the jokes about him and the actress started doing the rounds.
Sharma clarified it saying: "All these are just rumours. Sunny Deol is one actor in Bollywood who is least interested in getting into controversies. He only wants each and every actor to grow. He was very upset after he got to know about the rumours."
Shooting for "Singh Sahib The Great" will start Dec 10 and Sharma said that it would be a "50 days schedule till January end".
"During the same time, I am planning to shoot for the item number as well," added the director who has roped in Ameesha Patel for the female lead.

Make your home more inviting during the summer months by creating an outdoor living space. You don't need to invest in fancy furniture or an expensive landscaping plan. Start with a few simple pieces, strategically placed, and build from there. If you're planning to vacation at home this summer rather than travel, adding extra living space outside will make being home feel like vacation every day.
Before you start, think about whether you want your space to have a theme or look. It's tempting to imagine something completely different from your interior scheme: English country garden, Southwest, Mediterranean or Asian. But keep in mind that if you carry the same theme and style from indoors to outdoors, whether it is clean and sleek or shabby chic, your outdoor space will seem more like an extension of the inside.
Start with a central focal point. It can be a grouping of strategically placed furniture arranged to draw the eye and the crowd or something that occurs naturally in the landscape, such as a pond or perennial garden. Depending on the size of your space, you may need only one focal point, but if your area is large, several are appropriate.
The most visually pleasing way to arrange your focal point(s) is by clustering items in small groups, mimicking the random way elements occur in nature. Don't spread items out too evenly or in geographic shapes. Use the same basic principles as indoor decorating. Instead of pushing all the furniture against the wall of your house, create groupings where guests can face each other. This will make family and friends want to linger longer.
Another effective treatment is to create a contrast between a naturally occurring element (such as a tree) and a purchased piece (such as a swing or hammock). Birdbaths, trellises and arbors are excellent additions. Decorative propane heaters can extend the life of your backyard a few months in the spring and fall. You could place a patio umbrella near a bench for shade, anchoring it with a weighted stand, then transfer the umbrella to your table if you need shade while dining. To add dimension and interest, consider painting an old bookcase with weatherproof paint and filling it with interesting pottery and plants.
Some of the most popular outdoor accessories offered by Hy-Vee are swings, says product specialist Isaac Wiese. Hy-Vee offers two- and three-seat swings in a variety of styles, perfect to create a shady spot. Color trends this year focus on burnt reds, cool blues and warm earth tones.
Hy-Vee also offers benches that can be grouped with potted plants or water features. Eucalyptus is a popular wood for outdoor furniture, Wiese says, because of its durability. When choosing wooden furniture that can withstand the elements, look for a dense wood that is high in oil, he advises.
If you don't have a patio or deck, you can use paving stones to create a "floor" for your living space. The flooring doesn't necessarily need to be nestled up next to the house; you can create the space out in the middle of your yard, perhaps under a shade tree or in a hidden corner. Lay stones diagonally to make the space seem larger, then add a weatherproof rug for color and focus. Tie it to your landscape by using similar stonework along flower borders or around trees.
Other popular elements are arbors, which create a natural entrance or exit to your space. And a privacy fence offers triple advantages: it creates sight and sound barriers, acts as a natural end to your lot and serves as a backdrop for blooming plants and decorative touches.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Your outdoor living space doesn't need to be finished today, this weekend or even this year. Set realistic goals and take it one step at a time. And remember to stop and smell the roses. After all, you're creating a space to enjoy.
Hosting Outdoors
By the pool or on the patio, gathering out of doors for drinks, a casual supper or full blown party is fun. Invite neighbors, friends or family for an impromptu bring-your-own-meat grill supper. Add sides, drinks and condiments to finish the meal. Or, host a themed party, such as Hawaiian, Jamaican or Southern BBQ and serve foods that go with the theme.
Special lighting makes any occasion feel like a party. String white mini lights or lanterns under a canopy or umbrella. Candles also add festivity. Use caution with open flames by placing them in containers that can't be knocked or blown over, such as pretty pots filled with sand or rock. (Caution: Do not leave candles, grill or fire unattended by an adult.)
Buffets work best if you are planning to serve 10 people or more. Use a resin folding table covered with yard goods or a table cloth for the buffet. Invert garden pots to support platters of food and accent the table with food-safe flowering plants and candles. For fewer people, use a garden or tea cart or a large tray to transport items to and from the kitchen.
Comfy seating placed throughout the yard encourages intimate conversations. Two- or three-seat swings, benches or clusters of chairs tucked into quiet areas add small group seating—perfect for cocktails or after-dinner coffee.
A well-kept lawn discourages insects but to help your evening be pest free spray the yard with an insect repellent (follow product directions) and use citronella torches or candles.
Feather Your Nest
Inviting birds, butterflies and other creatures into your outdoor space is only natural, and it adds year-round enjoyment. But before you install bird feeders and baths, think carefully about how you plan to use the space. While it's interesting to watch birds up close, they can be messy. You and your guests won't want to be eating and drinking where birds have spilled their dinner.
Place feeders in a quiet area where birds won't be spooked. Hang them in a location that is low enough for refilling but high enough to keep out other critters. Birds feel more comfortable feeding near natural habitat, such as bushes and trees, but keep feeders away from branches that are large enough to be a launch pad for squirrels and predators. You might also consider a birdbath for your feathered friends. A birdbath heater will keep them coming year round.
The Hy-Vee Garden Center features a selection of feeders and seeds, including some designed for finches and hummingbirds. To attract colorful finches, use niger or sunflower seeds in your feeder.
The Garden Center is also full of plants that attract a variety of birds. The blooms of sunflowers, asters, bee balm, larkspur and coneflower attract birds during summer months. If you leave them standing, the seed heads will keep birds coming back during winter months, too.
Brightly colored plants are also popular attractions for butterflies. The butterfly bush, which thrives in the Midwest, lures butterflies and hummingbirds. If a new tree is in your plans, consider the flowering dogwood, a favorite of many species of birds, including hummingbirds. Plants and shrubbery containing berries, such as sumac, provide natural food sources.
To attract hummingbirds specifically, start with plants they love. Focus on red tubular blooms, such as azalea, trumpet vine, honeysuckle and fuchsia. A hanging basket incorporating these plants placed near your feeder will keep these tiny birds buzzing around long enough for you to enjoy their amazing energy.
Recipe for Hummingbird Nectar
With a ratio of one part sugar to four parts water, boil the water, then add sugar. Let cool and store any excess in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Do not add food coloring, honey or artificial sweetener. Hummingbird feeders are usually red in color, so the nectar you use doesn't need red food coloring added. Clean and refill feeders twice weekly in hot weather.
Your bird feeder should be cleaned out at least once a month. The National Audubon Society recommends rinsing with one part vinegar to four parts water. Instead of detergent, which can harm birds, add a few grains of rice to the vinegar solution to help scrub off debris.

Comfortable and free-flowing
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I debated between these shorts and the Icebreaker GT Dart short. The dart short won. 2 months later, after wearing the dart short most days and impatiently waiting for them to dry on wash days, I got these as a backup. Now that I have both, they each have their use.
These have a looser fit and are perfect for any activity - These are a go-to for me for hiking and running (and always around the house). The dart is preferred when I don't want the excess fabric: climbing, yoga, and short bike rides. They are definitely interchangeable and can comfortably be worn for any activities - I just wore them so often it made sense to have 2 pairs.
The liner/built-in underware was a turnoff for me when I got them, and almost returned them for that reason alone. However, once you have them on it is not noticeable and actually makes them more comfortable since you don't have to worry about any 'surprise reveals' when your're climbing!

Your Typical DayZ Experience
Hey there filmmakers!
I made a DayZ inspired short movie with some friends that can be found here:
It's far from a masterpiece, but it was really fun to make!
I tried to capture that treacherous feeling of someone you just helped in the mod killing you.
Feel free, of course, to come with criticism. How could this short have been better, and what should I think about when I bring out my camera the next time?
The movie was filmed with a Canon EOS 550D, with the kit 18-55 mm lens, and a Canon EF 50mm 1.4 USM lens. The sound was captured with a Rode Shotgun Video Mic on top of the camera.
The movie was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects.

Today I had an employee at my internship teach me about the art of taking High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI) which involves taking a 360 degree panorama image with a fisheye lens. It has been a great day indeed! :D
The image above is a quick test of two 3D primitive shapes thrown into a scene with said panorama as an image based lighting. I think that it is looking pretty good considering that the IBL is the only thing that is lighting the scene. I added Ambient Occlusion for the contact shadows. With some camera effects like Chromatic Aberration and correct Focal Length and so on, this image could've looked pretty good.
I am going to make some more experiments tomorrow. It is currently 01:21 (AM) here in sweden, so I should probably go home and sleep.

This recipe makes a deliciously rich and smooth ice cream reminiscent of custard-based ice creams, but requires no cooking. You'll want to start the process of making the cream cheese the day before you plan to make the ice cream. You can use other berries, or even a combination of berries, but you might need to strain the berries through a sieve if they have a lot of seeds. The recipe works well with either raw or pasteurized cream.

TEMECULA – Pharmaceutical manufacturing giant Abbott Laboratories today laid off 300 workers at a Temecula plant where vascular implants are made.
"We expect an additional several hundred layoffs at the facility over the course of the year," Abbott Labs spokeswoman Adelle Infante told City News Service.
She said the pink slips were issued in response to anticipated declines in orders for the Promus cardiovascular stent, which Abbott makes in partnership with Boston Scientific.
According to Infante, Boston's next-generation stent, Xienc, is expected to reduce demand for Promus, components of which are manufactured at Abbott's Temecula unit, which employs around 3,000 people.
Nationally, the company is slashing a total 700 jobs due to restructuring, Infante said.
In its fourth-quarter earnings report, released today, the Illinois- based medical products firm highlighted per share earnings growth of 12 percent, with worldwide sales up 4 percent.
Infante said Abbott's workforce reduction has nothing to do with the company's split, which is expected to be completed by year's end.
Accordign to Infante, all laid-off workers will receive severance packages and receive first consideration when and if positions open up in other segments of the company in which the downsized employees are qualified to work.
"I'm very disappointed to hear that Abbott's shrinking its workforce … and 300 families will be in economic jeopardy because their loved ones have lost their jobs," said Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone, whose district encompasses Temecula.
"Hopefully these workers can find jobs that are commensurate with their skills," he told CNS. "The county's doors are open for them and anybody else who needs help finding work."
Stone said the county's four Workforce Development Centers provide a plethora of resources for job-seekers, including matching prospects with recruiters and offering re-training services.
The supervisor said the county's "nagging" 12.5 percent unemployment rate won't improve much, and jobs will continue to leave the county and state, until regulatory burdens are lifted and taxes are reduced.
"Hopefully we'll see some dramatic changes with keeping jobs and attracting businesses here after the November elections," the supervisor said.

Health Insurance Brokers Fight For Relevance
Will health insurance agents and brokers face a fate similar to that of travel agents, whose role in travel planning has dwindled as people book their own trips online?
There's no telling exactly what will happen in coming years as states set up online exchanges where consumers can shop for health insurance policies starting in 2014, but brokers aren't going down without a fight.
Right now, they're waging a campaign to exclude the sales commissions insurers pay them from the insurers' administrative expenses. Under the federal law overhauling health care, insurers can spend no more than 20 percent of the premium dollars they collect on administrative expenses and profits. At least 80 percent must go toward paying for medical care and quality improvement efforts. This is the medical loss ratio in insurance parlance, medical claims paid are considered losses.
Insurers that don't meet the target of 80 percent for individual and small group policies and 85 percent for large groups have to issue rebates to consumers.
Including commissions as part of administrative expenses, of course, could have a dampening effect on how much insurers are willing to pay. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), has introduced a bill that would exclude broker and agent commissions from the medical loss ratio calculation.
In a letter to Kaiser Health News, Ted Besesparis, a senior vice president at the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents, defended agent and broker services:
Choosing a health insurance plan is serious business. It is a complex process that cannot be compared to purchasing a book from a website.
Although the proposed change sounds like the kind of eye-glazing detail that only Capitol Hill bill-writers could love, there's real money at stake for consumers, say experts.
Broker commissions may range from about 5 percent to as much as 40 percent of the first year's premium, says Timothy Jost, a law professor at Washington and Lee University who, in his role as a consumer representative to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, has reviewed broker commission data.
"We're talking about taking over $1 billion out of consumers' pockets and handing it to insurers in the hope that they'll pass it along to agents and brokers," he says.

Woman in the Mists: The Story of Dian Fossey and the Mountain Gorillas of Africa
Macdonald, 1988 - Gorilla - 380 pages
Deep in the volcano country of central Africa live some of the rarest, most intriguing animals on earth -- the mountain gorillas. Here, in the mist-shrouded forests, Dian Fossey courageously dedicated her life to studying them. Here she patiently waited until the luminous-eyed gorillas accepted her presence, hugged her, and loved her...while she fought for their survival against poachers, callous researchers, zoo collectors, and local bureaucrats. And here, surrounded by these enemies, she died, mysteriously and brutally murdered.
Now, one of the world's most respected naturalist writers draws for the first time ever on Dian Fossey's personal writings to reveal the true story of a magnificent obsession...one woman's enormous empathy for a highly intelligent, desperately endangered animal -- and how it ruled her life, her work, and her heart.

Some good, some bad
Battery life is astounding, but the sound quality is not so good - - my Plantronics Voyager 510 is much better on sound. The biggest problem is a loud "rattle" when the voice on the other end gets above a medium strength. In other words, during every conversation, the earpiece will have this very annoying rattle that can't be gotten rid of. Perhaps because of that, you cannot get the volume very loud or it just becomes difficult to listen to the caller on the other end. I think I'm going back to the Plantronics, which is half the price. I put that back on after a few days of the 602 and it was like night and day.

A small, informal, recurring group of entrepreneurs and business people for sharing business leads and ideas, and for providing complimentary services to clients/customers.
University of Chicago Regional OfficeSuite 142010 Rockefeller PlazaNew York City, New York
The group meets monthly or so to explain their backgrounds, skills and business interests with the group, and to share areas where either they can use help in assisting a client with an area outside of their field, where they could use additional resources to address a client need, or where they feel they can assist another member of the group with a need that has been shared.
This tends to works best where the attendants are "regulars". Over time a feeling of trust is developed, and as members become familiar with each other's areas of strength, they become attuned to them as they go through the month.

Are you looking for natural horse wormers because you are tired of pumping your horse full of toxic chemicals?
Or do you just want to learn more about using natural horse products and think it is a good idea to choose alternative pet medicine for long term health!
After all… worms are parasites, and some of them can be pretty nasty. They can steal your horse's nutrition, suck your horse's blood and transmit some awful diseases.
Okay, so we all agree that no one wants their horse to have worms. That leaves us with the question of what's the best way to prevent or eliminate them once worms go on the attack!
As you might suspect, we believe natural horse products are just as effective as the chemical kind, and they certainly are a whole lot safer for your horse.
One thing's for sure…The worms inside your horse's gut or in her bloodstream will be killed by chemical wormers, because those products contain powerful toxins that are formulated to do exactly that.
Remember…they're poisons. Depending on the particular product, the active ingredients include chemical tongue-twisters like…
And guess what? Those powerful toxins are also toxic to the horse you're trying to protect. How much sense does giving your horse a poison in order to keep her healthy really make?
In short…wouldn't you agree that a natural horse wormer is a much better choice?
We think the answer so.
Here is Why…
The good news is…if you are looking for a horse wormer that uses natural, safe, effective and environmentally-friendly ingredients, then this type of worming product is the perfect solution for alternative pet medicine.
What Are Natural Horse Wormers Made From?
The great news is that…both ingredients are considered to be natural horse products that use alternative pet medicine principles to eliminate your horse's internal parasites not harmful chemicals.
In fact, diatomaceous earth kills worms by dehydration. The razor sharp edge cuts through the outer skeleton of a parasite and then absorbs their body fluids.
Not only does it not involve any toxic chemicals, there is nothing for worms to become resistant or immune to like the chemicals we mentioned at the beginning of this article.
That is great news for the long term health of our horses! Because as you know as a loving horse owner our ponies are pumped up with way to many chemicals.
Plus…A natural horse wormer using diatomaceous earth is deadly to worms, but not to people, plants, your horse, your dog, your cat or anything else - including the environment.
And plant-based natural horse wormers (the type that use herbal ingredients) are also non-toxic to everything other than the parasites you're trying to eliminate.
What could possibly be better? Nothing! That is why we can only come up with one con that isn't really that bad because in the long run your vet bills will probably be less because you are choosing to use natural horse products.
The only real drawback of natural horse wormers is their cost - sometimes their price is slightly higher than chemical wormers.
You can get around this issue by buying your natural horse wormer and other supplies online, because many reputable online shops have reasonable prices and even run occasional sales.
Yet…even if you end up having to pay slightly more for natural horse wormers than the nasty chemical type, your horse, your dog, your cat, other people - and the environment - are worth it.

The Role Aggression Plays in Successful and Unsuccessful Ice Hockey Behaviors
Sheldon, Jane P., Aimar, Christine M., Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport
Key words: sports, violence, frustration-aggression hypothesis, social learning theory
Aggressive behavior in professional ice hockey has seen a dramatic increase since 1975, and many players and coaches consider such behavior an important strategy for winning (Englehardt, 1995; Smith, 1979; Widmeyer & Birch, 1979). A belief that aggression is necessary for successful performance can be found outside the ranks of professional hockey, as well. For example, Weinstein, Smith, and Wiesenthal (1995) pointed out that young Canadian ice hockey players are taught that engaging in illegal aggressive behavior is often vital for team success.
Theoretical Perspectives on Aggression
Aggression likely occurs in sports such as hockey at least in part because athletes are socialized to be aggressive (Tenenbaum, Stewart, Singer & Duda, 1996; Weinstein et al., 1995). In accordance with social learning theory (Bandura, 1973, 1986), athletes model aggressive behaviors in others, are reinforced for their aggressive actions, receive few punishments for their acts, and have expectations concerning likely punishment and reinforcement (Nash & Lerner, 1981; Smith, 1988; Tenenbaum et al., 1996). One of the most important forms of reinforcement aggressive acts can receive in athletic contests is for the aggressive acts to lead to successful performance outcomes for the athlete or the team. Thus, aggression is positively reinforced by athletes' achievement of success. Although some research (Engelhardt, 1995; McGuire, Courneya, Widmeyer & Carron, 1992) has failed to find a positive relationship between successful performance and aggression, several studies (McCarthy & Kelly, 1978a, 1978b; Widmeyer & Bi rch, 1984; Worrell & Harris, 1986) have shown at least partial support for a positive relationship between the two.
Aggression in sport situations might also emanate from frustration (Dollard, Doob, Miller, Mowrer, & Sears, 1939). The frustration-aggression hypothesis (Dollard et al., 1939) states that when one is thwarted in an attempt to achieve a goal, frustration will occur, which will then result in aggressive behavior. In sports, frustration often is a result of an unsuccessful event or outcome; therefore, the frustration-aggression hypothesis predicts that poor performance (i.e., the lack of success) precedes aggression. Widmeyer and Birch (1984) hypothesized that early in a hockey game or season aggression might facilitate performance, whereas later in a game or season aggression might be a result of frustration. Some research (Engelhardt, 1995; Lefebvre & Passer, 1974; Leith, 1989; Martin, 1976; McCaw & Walker, 1999; Scholtz & Willemse, 1991) supports the idea of a negative relationship between successful performance and aggression.
Social learning theory (Bandura, 1973) and the frustration-aggression hypothesis (Dollard et al., 1939) each propose a different temporal order between aggression and performance. Social learning theory predicts that aggression occurs first and is followed by a successful performance (a reinforcer that increases the likelihood of future aggression). The frustration-aggression hypothesis predicts that poor performance occurs first and is followed by an aggressive response (due to frustration). Because previously cited correlational studies have been unable to assess possible causal pathways, it is not clear how well their findings support a specific theoretical orientation. Therefore, the main purpose of the present study was to ascertain which theoretical perspective had support by taking into account the temporal order of aggressive and performance behaviors.
Definitions of Aggression
Aggression is most often defined as intentionally inflicting an aversive stimulus on another person. One can further differentiate aggression as either hostile (i.e., the purpose is to do harm to another for its own sake) or instrumental (i. …

She went on a "date" of this type with DH's friend (before he was DH), and it remains awkward to this day when their paths cross. She was already familiar with him and knew she had no intention of being his girlfriend or getting involved with him, and was NOT upfront about that, but he had some big bucks he was willing to spend on taking her out so she went.
What do you think about this? Was this girl using these guys? Is that just "the cost of doing business" in the dating world (so guys should expect to spend money on girls without any long term interest)? Is thinking this is wrong any different than guys who "expect" girls to put out after an expensive date?
I do personally disagree with this, but I'm not one for casual dating or sex in general. I don't believe in the "expensive date= put out" theory either, but I think there should be at least an emotional investment OR an upfront discussion that that isn't what you're looking for.
