Expanded Definition
Just because a person does not work, it doesn't mean that the person is "unemployed." People 16 years and older but still in school and retirees are examples of people who are not unemployed.
People become unemployed because:
- They lose their job and start looking for another one. This group usually makes up the largest component of the unemployed.
- They leave their job and look for another one. This group usually makes up the smallest component.
- They enter (for the first time) or reenter the labor force, looking for a job. This group is somewhere in the middle.
They end their unemployment by:
- Finding a job, either a new one or being recalled to a previous one.
- Leave the labor force.
In order to be unemployed from an economic (and government) point of view, you must be in the working-age population (16 years and older), in the labor force (e.g. not retired or simply given up looking for work), and satisfy one of the three following criteria.
- Not working, but have made specific efforts to find work in the past four weeks.
- Laid off and waiting to be called back.
- Starting a new job within 30 days, but not working yet.
Types of Unemployment
There are three basic types of unemployment: frictional, structural, and cyclical.
This is unemployment that comes about from the normal turnover in labor. People enter and leave the labor force, new jobs are created, old jobs are destroyed. This is a permanent component of unemployment and is considered healthy. People who are looking for a new job are part of this group.
The amount of frictional unemployment is partly determined by the amount of unemployment compensation. Generous benefits tend to keep people in this category longer because there is less incentive for them to look for a job.
This is unemployment that comes about from changes in technology or international competition. When robots entered the car construction business, not as many people were needed to put the cars together, so they became unemployed due to a technology change. When labor is cheaper overseas and companies move production over there to take advantage of that, the people at home domestically become structurally unemployed.
This type of unemployment usually lasts longer than frictional because the people affected need to learn a new set of skills and find a new job. It can be especially painful, as well, as all of sudden, people are not wanted any more. It can also cause political problems.
This is unemployment that comes about from the cycles of the economy. When the economy is in a recession, demand for goods goes down, so demand for labor to make those goods also goes down and people are laid off. When the economy improves and enters a growth phase, then demand for goods and labor picks up and people get rehired.
When there is no cyclical unemployment, then there is full employment.
Unemployment Rate
This is simply the number of people unemployed divided by the labor force, expressed as a percentage. Remember that the labor force are those people who are both employed and unemployed.
Labor force participation rate
This is the percentage of people in the labor force out of the total working-age population. In the U.S., this was on an upward trend from about 59% during the early 1960s to as high as 67% in 2000, but it has fallen some since then. This increase is primarily because of women entering the labor force during that time.
Employment-to-population ratio
This is the percentage of people employed out of the entire working-age population. This, also, has grown in the U.S. during the last 40 years of the 20th century, from about 55% in the early 1960s to about 64% in 2000. Again, this is primarily because of women entering the workforce.
Unemployment and GDP
The real GDP fluctuates about the potential GDP of an economy. The potential GDP is what the economy produces when there is full employment (i.e. no cyclical unemployment). The fluctuation of GDP about the potential GDP arises because of fluctuations around the natural rate of unemployment.
When real GDP = potential GDP, then the unemployment rate = the natural rate of unemployment.
When real GDP is greater than potential GPD, then the unemployment rate is less than the natural rate of unemployment.
Vice versa for when real GDP is less than potential GDP.

Hot Dog!
Okay, gotta admit I was less than thrilled to hear that Bill White had bought Hapa Grill and renamed it Sushi Blue.
If there were a 10 year moratorium on sushi restaurants in Park and Salt Lake City, I would not be upset.
We have drive-through sushi, half-price sushi, all-you-can-eat sushi. We have excellent, high-end sushi and bottom-of-the-tank grocery store sushi. Where can't you get sushi? I have an uncomfortable suspicion that it's in R&D at McDonald's. (They need to do something to prop up sagging sales, why not a Ronald Roll?)
But yesterday, even as workers were being lifted in cherry pickers to install the new Sushi Blue sign, we dropped in for lunch, and I had to eat my words. If not a lot of sushi.
Of course, the place is great-looking: Would Mr. White have it any other way? The interiors of his restaurants and the look of his events are always original, inventive and fun to look at, its predecessor Hapa Grill opened up and splashed with color. Sushi Blue's sushi bar is set against a wall of iridescent blue tiles, cobalt glass globes hang over the booths, brilliant fish paintings adorn the deep teal walls.
Philosophical question: When you expect to be pleased and surprised by something, how pleased and surprised can you be? So, the interior was great but I expected great.
Here's what I most definitely did not expect from Sushi Blue: The best hot dog in the state.
The. Best. Hot. Dog. In. The. State.
Maybe in the whole mountain west.
It totally blew me out of the water. Excuse the metaphor. A sturdy, grill-crisped bun held a pure beef wiener, split and filled with bacon cooked to a crunch and crumbled. Over that, a ladleful of the house-made kimchi and a drizzle of sauce. Alongside, an Asian slaw of cucumber strings, red onion and slivered cabbage in a sweet-sour-sesame dressing.
You pair this hot dog with an Ichiban and you've got the perfect all-American Asian meal.
Take me out to a ball game, Yu Darvish.
So, Sushi Blue's secret is that it's not just a sushi restaurant, and the part that's not sushi isn't lame-o fusion, although it is a fusion.
Korean Street Tacos: Thick shreds of rich pulled pork with fresh cilantro, avocado and cojita cheese crumbles served with bright red cucumber pickles and kimchi salsa.
With pickle.
Sliders: Crab cakes and avocado slices topped with caramelized red onions and poblano peppers with ponzu citrus mayo.
Yes, there is a list of traditional sushi and sashimi. But at Sushi Blue, you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try the Blue Rolls, a list of apparent weirdnesses that makes sense in the mouth, despite their punny names—"Kimchi Kardashian, "Mike Thai Son," "Tuna Turner."
We tried the Salmon L. Jackson: Spicy tuna, cucumber and avocado topped with salmon.
The dinner menu adds more substantial entrees to the lunch menu–miso-oregano salmon, seared scallops with edamame fried rice, pad thai...
For dessert there are white ginger and raspberry ice cream sandwiches.
Yes, I was surprised by Sushi Blue. And pleased. It's been awhile since Bill White has opened anything new and it's nice to see that, despite the sushi, one of Utah's original innovators can still, um, hit it out of the park.
To reference again that incredible hot dog.
Sushi Blue, 1571 Redstone Center Dr, Park City, UT 84098 (Formerly Hapa Grill)

- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Member State
- Name: New Zealand
- Submission Document: Download
New Zealand welcomes this opportunity to make a submission on the forthcoming United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. We look forward to engaging with other stakeholders through the process of consideration of a focused, action- oriented outcome document.
New Zealand has not sought to comment on every element of the sustainable development agenda in this submission. Rather, we have focused on our top priority issues for the purposes of this document.
New Zealand is currently Chair of the Pacific Islands Forum. The annual Pacific Islands Forum Leaders? meeting in Auckland in September 2011 contained a number of themes that are of direct relevance to Rio+20. We have highlighted several in this submission. The relevant outcomes of the Forum meeting will also be relayed separately to inform the Rio+20 process of the priorities of the Pacific region.
Expectations for the outcome of Rio+20 and preference for the format of the outcome document
New Zealand notes that the objective of Rio+20 is to secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development, assessing the progress to date and remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development and addressing new and Emerging challenges.
Accordingly, New Zealand envisages Rio+20 producing a short, focussed outcome document containing implementable political outcomes. We wish to see an emphasis on political commitments and actions to achieve them.
Working within that context New Zealand wishes to highlight a number of priority areas which it regards as strong candidates for international agreement and action.
Green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication
New Zealand considers pursuit of a green economy to be a pragmatic approach, not a new paradigm ? it is as much about how we grow as it is about how much we grow. New Zealand supports mutually reinforcing environmental, social and economic policy that makes the most of opportunities to develop new industries, jobs and technologies to clean up polluting sectors, seek efficiencies in resource use and transform consumption patterns. New Zealand does not consider that it is desirable or possible to take a one-size-fits-all approach to achieving a green economy. A flexible approach to the green economy will allow countries to implement polices and activities suitable to their own national context. It is vital that the pursuit of a green economy avoid trade distorting measures and imposing new, green, barriers to trade.
Oceans and Marine Living Resources : The?Blue Economy?:
For us, and for other Pacific Island Forum countries, a crucial element of the ?green economy? is the ?blue economy?. Capitalising on the potential of our oceans is crucial for the future of the Pacific and the livelihoods of its peoples. In the Waiheke Declaration on Sustainable Economic Development of September 2011, Pacific Islands Forum leaders recommitted to pursuing a goal of ensuring a sustainable economic environment for all.
In September 2011, PIF Leaders noted the region?s unique dependency on the Pacific Ocean as the basis for their livelihoods, food security and economic development. New Zealand as Chair of the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) reiterates the PIF Leaders? call for the Rio+20 conference to recognise the significant global value and contribution of the Pacific Ocean to sustainable development, and to acknowledge the stewardship of Pacific Island Countries.
New Zealand also reiterates the PIF call for the international community to work towards integrated oceans management, for which the Pacific Oceanscape1 could be a model, with the aim of realising relevant international goals to contribute to the health and vitality of the ocean environment, and the maximisation of returns to Small Island Developing States from the sustainable use of ocean resources.
Health of the Oceans:
New Zealand strongly supports the completion of the first global integrated assessment of the state of the marine environment (Regular Process for the Global Marine Assessment) by 2014, which was mandated by the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation and calls for adequate resourcing for the first assessment. New Zealand emphasises the importance of the Regular Process for the Global Marine Assessment as a credible, robust process and calls for a commitment to an ongoing process of assessments after 2014. New Zealand calls on states to take account of the Regular Process for the Global Marine Assessment outcomes and act upon them in formulating national, regional and global oceans policy. We note ongoing concern about ocean acidification and other climate change effects on the oceans especially in the Pacific region.
Sustainable fisheries management including greater return to small island developing states from their fisheries resources:
New Zealand emphasises that generating greater returns from sustainable fisheries is a high priority for the Pacific. Support for sustainable development of Pacific fisheries and securing a greater proportion of returns for Pacific Island countries and territories are key themes of New Zealand?s Pacific fisheries engagement, in terms of our participation in Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and our development assistance.
New Zealand urges renewed commitment to improved oceans governance, including adherence to the key principles of the United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement, including a reinforcement of the precautionary approach. We recognise the important link between fisheries and food security. We call on RFMOs dealing with highly migratory
1 The Framework for Pacific Oceanscape was agreed by Pacific Islands Forum Leaders in
August 2010.
species to continue to coordinate among themselves to develop and adopt best practice in the conservation and management of these species and their ecosystems. We also call on RFMOs dealing with straddling stocks and on coastal states to cooperate in the sustainable management of stocks. We underline the need for quality, targeted and better-resourced science and for RFMO decisions to be made on the basis of that science. New Zealand also urges a focus on improved fisheries management within Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs). This would involve analysis of and emphasis on fisheries sustainability within EEZs (which is where more than 90% of global fishing takes place). States must also take action to ensure their management of fisheries within their EEZs faithfully implements the UNCLOS requirement to conserve and manage fisheries resources, in accordance with international commitments.
Fisheries subsidies:
New Zealand believes that Rio+20 must address harmful fisheries subsidies that contribute to overfishing and overcapacity, and impact negatively on sustainable development. Fisheries subsidies can undermine fisheries management decisions, contribute to illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing, create perverse economic incentives which impact on the long term sustainability of global fisheries, and add pressure on the last remaining, not fully exploited fisheries. Ultimately the impacts of subsidies will fall most heavily on countries and communities that depend on fisheries resources for livelihoods, development and employment. In this context, as a complement to ongoing WTO negotiations, countries should re-commit at Rio+20 to eliminate subsidies which contribute to overcapacity, as well as subsidies for activities that affect already overfished stocks, and subsidies for vessels and enterprises found to be engaged in IUU fishing. Countries should also undertake to pursue further unilateral or plurilateral reform of subsidies that contribute to overfishing, commit to significant improvement in the transparency of current subsidy programmes, and consider greater accountability for non-notification.
Marine Conservation and Marine Protected Areas:
New Zealand reaffirms the importance of creating, based on sound science, an environmentally sound, representative network of Marine Protected Areas that advance biodiversity. We recall the international commitment, by 2020, for at least 17% of terrestrial and inland water, and 10% of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, to be conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscape and seascapes. We endorse ongoing work to identify and protect Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems.
Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing (IUU):
New Zealand urges the international community to take effective measures against IUU fishing including: increased monitoring, control and surveillances measures; commitment by the flag state to enforce RFMO and coastal state measures against their vessels, including full compliance with reporting obligations; implementation of port state measures, including ratification of the FAO Port State Measures Agreement and development of RFMO IUU vessel blacklists; implementation of clear and equitable market measures, including the development of appropriate catch certification schemes and international standards for fisheries product certification; and encouraging states to
take action against those responsible for IUU fishing, including their own companies and nationals. We urge governments, industry and NGOs to work together to combat IUU fishing. We call for the IMO and FAO to continue their joint work on flags of convenience. We reiterate the importance for the Pacific region of actions to combat IUU fishing and improve monitoring, control and surveillance, and recognise progress to this end, including under the Niue Treaty.
Reform of inefficient Fossil Fuel Subsidies:
A key impediment to the successful transition towards a green economy is the existence of perverse incentives that continue to encourage practices harmful to the environment and which inhibit new sources of economic growth.
One of the key commitments in the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development Johannesburg Plan of Implementation was to ?remove [energy] market distortions including the restructuring of taxes and the phasing out of harmful subsidies?.
In 2009, under the leadership of G20 and APEC Leaders, this issue received attention again. Since then G20 and APEC, together representing 54 economies2, have repeatedly recognised that subsidies for fossil fuels encourage wasteful consumption, distort markets, impede investment in clean energy sources and undermine efforts to deal with climate change. The Report of the Secretary-General?s High-level Advisory Group on Climate Change Financing found that freeing up fossil fuel subsidies in developed countries alone could raise up to $8 billion/year that could potentially be redirected to climate change finance.
G20 and APEC Leaders have committed to rationalise and phase-out over the medium term inefficient fossil fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption, while recognising the importance of providing those in need with essential energy services (through targeted case transfers and other appropriate mechanisms, for example).
In addition, the 2011-2020 Convention on Biological Diversity Strategic Plan, agreed in Nagoya in 2010, calls for the removal, phase out, or reform by 2020 of incentives, including subsidies, that are harmful to biodiversity.
New Zealand acknowledges the leadership shown by G20 and APEC economies. New Zealand believes that Rio+20 should join these other international efforts to reform inefficient fossil fuel subsidies over the medium term, while mitigating adverse impacts on vulnerable groups.
New Zealand urges Rio+20 to extend to all UN members the G20 and APEC commitments to phase out over the medium term, inefficient fossil fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption and undermine sustainable development, while mitigating adverse impacts on vulnerable groups, to all Rio+20 Parties. Mechanisms to support such a commitment should include regular reporting of expenditures and actions taken to reduce subsidies; technical assistance underpinned by research and development; and the sharing of tools needed to achieve reform.
2 19 members of the G20 plus the EU Presidency, which represents an additional 23 European countries, plus 12 member economies of APEC (in addition to those G20 members of APEC already counted).
An outcome from Rio+20 in this area would complement and build on the commitments made by G20 and APEC leaders. A Rio+20 outcome on inefficient fossil fuel subsidy reform would help address a current impediment to green growth.
New Zealand is working with the other members of the Friends of Fossil Fuel Subsidy Reform group to highlight the potential climate, economic, trade and energy security benefits of fossil fuel subsidy reform and support the G20 implement their commitments.
New Zealand sees access to clean, reliable, and affordable energy as essential for sustainable economic development, including in our own region the Pacific. In the Pacific, there is an extraordinarily high dependence on imported fossil fuel for transport and electricity needs. Projects to reduce this dependency have the potential to improve energy security, provide greater access to energy services, and decrease vulnerability to price volatility - all of which are positive for sustainable economic growth. New Zealand is supporting the Pacific region in actively exploring enhanced use of renewable energy sources for electricity generation, including solar, wind, hydro power, bio-energy, and geothermal energy, including through fast start finance contributions. Enhanced energy efficiency measures are a fundamental part of this ongoing work.
New Zealand strongly supports the Secretary General?s initiative to achieve the goal of Sustainable Energy for All by 2030 through three interlinked targets3. We see access to clean and affordable energy as a key element of sustainable economic development.
A comprehensive, planned approach is required to develop the energy sector. In this respect the use of "energy roadmaps" pulling together country-specific information, including the availability of energy resources, current and future energy use, distribution and transmission constraints, proposed improvements, policies, targets and regulatory issues, can provide a robust framework for donors and partners to coordinate their development efforts, including financing. New Zealand would encourage more widespread use of energy roadmaps as part of the broader consideration of sustainable development at Rio+20.
Sustainable agriculture
For New Zealand and for many other Pacific Islands Forum members, immense potential rests in our productive sectors, including sustainable agriculture. Capitalising on this potential is crucial for the future of the Pacific and the livelihoods of its peoples.
New Zealand believes that efforts to reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions must not compromise global food security. New Zealand has been a lead voice in calling for greater international attention to, and investment in, agriculture greenhouse gas mitigation research and better coordination of efforts. To this end, New Zealand launched the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases in
3 - achieving universal access to modern energy services; improving energy efficiency by 40 percent; and producing 30 percent of the world?s energy from renewable sources.
December 2009 in the margins of the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. Over 30 countries, spanning all continents, are now members of the Alliance.
The Alliance is focused on research, development and extension of technologies and practices that will help deliver ways to grow more food (and more climate-resilient food systems) without growing greenhouse gas emissions. The Alliance seeks to deepen and broaden existing networks of agriculture mitigation research and build new ones; enhance scientific capacities; increase international investment; improve understanding and measurement of agricultural emissions; and improve access to and application of agricultural mitigation technologies and best practices. The Alliance invites new members and partner organisations to support this vitally important work for the benefit of all countries.
Fresh Water Resources
New Zealand considers the issue of wise management of water resources to be critical for sustainable development. In the Pacific and particularly for those living on small islands the availability of a safe and reliable supply of fresh water for both potable use and for agriculture is a critical issue. In many cases it is the limiting factor in agriculture development and the supply is precarious at best and unseasonal periods without rain can cause severe shortages (as is occurring at present in Tuvalu, Tokelau, and the outer islands of the Cook Islands). Population growth, development pressures and climate change are making the situation more unstable and less reliable. Options for increasing supply are very limited as many islands have no surface water sources and very limited ground water sources and are required to depend on rain water collection.
Institutional framework for sustainable development
There are various proposals for structural changes to the United Nations? institutional framework, some of which are potentially far-reaching. Before embarking on change it is necessary to have agreement on the objective - what are we trying to achieve? New Zealand considers that form should follow function, that is, the institutional structures should not be an end in themselves but should enable achievement of the objectives set by the international community.
The UN?s institutional framework for sustainable development has two main functions: to set international norms relating to sustainable development and to assist countries with implementation. It is timely to review the effectiveness of the current framework. We recall that the 2005 Millennium Summit outcome document flagged the need to explore system wide coherence in relation to environmental activities. This is relevant for all the pillars of sustainable development.
In reviewing the institutional framework for sustainable development, it is necessary to consider the following elements:
- effective policy integration of the three pillars of sustainable development at all levels (ie aspects of each should be considered in the development of policies
for the other.)
- closer cooperation and coordination between and among institutions;
- avoidance of overlap and duplication;
- continuation of the principles of partnership at multiple levels arising from the
Rio Declaration and Agenda 21;
- good value for money for member states and effective delivery of assistance;
- adequate resourcing;
- monitoring results (in particular, the effectiveness of development assistance).
New Zealand does not want to prejudge the final format of the institutional framework, particularly on the question of intergovernmental bodies. New Zealand?s preference has to date been to focus on pragmatic reform of existing institutions, rather than larger-scale institutional change, ensuring that reforms are practical, achievable and effective at the national level. We would look, however, to apply the elements listed above to any proposals. Further, it will be important that States have a full understanding of the financial, legal and comparative advantages of all proposals for structural reform.
New Zealand is a strong supporter of the Delivering as One initiative, considering a unified and coherent UN structure at the country level is beneficial both for the UN system and the country concerned. In our view, the pilots have worked well as they have reduced waste and improved delivery on the ground and demonstrably supported national strategies, institutions and systems to achieve the particular government?s development goals. The initiative should be expanded and applied to sustainable development generally.
Sustainable development goals
New Zealand is interested in the proposal that Rio+20 consider a process to develop a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). New Zealand considers the proposal to have some merits and would support further development of the concept. It would be important that the focus of the SDGs be tightly defined. We consider it important that any process established should not detract from the continuing collective international effort to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Reprinted with permission form Manopause: Your Guide to Surviving His Changing Life, by Lisa Friedman Bloch and Kathy Kirtland Silverman. Click here to buy the book.
Sex with a manopause man can be ripe, rich, full-flavored, sweet, juicy and pure. At midlife, the luckiest and most open-minded men are able to realize that while being locked in armor may protect them, going through life inside your own self-imposed barricade also blocks you from giving and receiving, both emotionally and sexually.
When a man matures, and reluctantly recognizes his fragile edges, he is less likely to see women as objects, and more likely to acknowledge them as people, much like himself. It's then that he can learn to give of himself sexually in the best sense.
Usually the more powerful partner is the one who initiates sex. And traditionally, that is the man. But as a man ages and he begins to doubt himself, his partner may feel she needs to be more assertive about what she wants sexually. Dealing with this shift can be tricky. Even if your man has started to reevaluate other rules about sex, this change may be hard for him to accept because in his mind, the implications are vast.
He might be thinking that if he gives up control on the sexual front, it's a step toward having you try to run other parts of his life. Worse yet, he could believe that he's forfeiting your respect altogether. If he believes he's falling short in the bedroom, your man may fear that you will look for sex elsewhere, causing his anxieties to grow.
But changes in the sexual balance of power are not always a negative. One of the great lessons of midlife is flexibility. As the genders' hormone levels change, the entire canvas of a loving sexual relationship can change with them. No longer should it be set in stone that sex has to be a certain way. This can be a door into a new level of intimacy. You can teach your manopause man to receive, as well as to give. You can help him understand that it is not necessary to be an alpha male in the outside world in order to have a sensual experience in the bedroom.
If you have reassured your partner that you value him and his feelings, he can learn to take turns with you in initiating and guiding your sexual relationship. And when a man no longer perceives sex as merely evidence of his power, both partners gain the freedom to take it to deeper levels.
Generally, women want to feel close and intimate in order to give themselves over to sex, and one way to do that is by having open and meaningful communication. Men, on the other hand, think sex is intimacy, the only sort of intimacy they're traditionally encouraged to enjoy. They would rather express connection through their bodies than their words.
So encourage your man to express what he wants. For example, most men are notoriously reluctant to tell women what turns them on. They are just plain embarrassed. And in their defense, some women do not want to hear it. Don't be one of them. When is the last time you asked your manopause man what he would like you to do to him? Remember, his tastes may be changing as he mellows. Don't be surprised if you have to coax this information from him.
Given the importance of sex to our lives, it is interesting to note that while most of us occupy a good deal of time sharing with our partners the many ways we want to spend our paychecks, parent our children and enjoy our vacations, we devote little or no time to confiding what we would like from an erotic point of view. Why do we sit, lips sealed, hoping some magical GPS will guide us to our goal, instead of expressing what would make us feel satisfied? Be honest. Are you being authentic with yourself in expressing your sexual desires? If not, it's time to start.
And keep the conversation going when the foreplay begins. The brain is stimulated by the sounds of excitement, so be open, reveal yourself in bed, and let your manopause man hear what you are feeling. It can take him to new heights and stir him to try new techniques. Remember, boredom is the death of good sex, and by midlife it can easily set in for your man, and for you. All of us crave variety. In midlife, your manopause man is becoming more ready to listen, so disclose your desires and get him to tell you his. Make this stage of life a time when you both become more secure and move beyond your inhibitions.

Safe at School
For a student using insulin, diabetes must be managed 24/7, including the many hours spent at school, on field trips and in extra-curricular activities.
Some families can send their child with diabetes to school in the morning and feel confident that the school will be prepared to provide the diabetes care that meets their child's needs. Other families worry that their child won't have access to good diabetes management, that their child will be excluded from activities or have to take an exam when blood glucose levels are plummeting.
Legal Protections
A written accommodation and care plan is the best way to ensure that your child's diabetes needs are met.
Written Care Plans
Creating a plan for how diabetes will be managed at school should be a team effort that includes school staff, families, and health care providers.
Resolving Challenges
When conflicts about care at school arise, it is often because parents and schools have different understandings about care at school.

|Vandal men open WAC play
Game 11: Idaho (4-6, 0-0) at Seattle U (5-5, 0-0)
When: Saturday, Dec. 29, 2012 (7 p.m. PT)
Where: Seattle, Wash. (KeyArena)
Radio: Vandal Radio Network/VandalXtra
Television: ROOT SPORTS
Online Video: www.GoSeattleU.com
Live Stats: www.GoSeattleU.com
A Look at the Redhawks
Seattle University is 5-5 this season and opens Western Athletic Conference play coming off back-to-back home wins over Northern Illinois (75-48) and Campbell (72-49). SU is 4-3 at home this season and has scored 72 or more points in each of its last four contests at KeyArena. The Redhawks are shooting 40.4 percent overall and averaging 68.7 points per game, while allowing 70.3 points on 41.6 percent shooting. Seattle U is second in the WAC with 9.5 steals per game, but its 19.5 turnovers per game are also second-most in the conference. SU leads the WAC in rebounding at 43.2 per game and ranks third with a +7.9 rebounding margin. As a team, the Redhawks shoot just .599 from the free throw line.
Seattle U Head Coach Cameron Dollar
Cameron Dollar is 56-76 overall in his sixth year as a collegiate head coach and 45-54 at Seattle University. He's in his fifth season at SU after leading the Redhawks to a 12-15 record last year. In 2009-10, SU became the first school to post a winning record (17-14) in its first season at the NCAA Division I level. Before SU, Dollar was an assistant at Washington for seven years, Saint Louis for three years and UC Irvine for one year. He was also the head coach for one season at Southern California College, where he posted an 11-22 record.
Idaho Vandals
Idaho jumped out to a double-digit first-half lead against Boise State on Thursday, Dec. 20, but the Broncos got hot in the second half and the Vandals couldn't register the stops they needed to hang on to the lead. The loss slipped Idaho to 4-6 at the end of non-conference play. The Vandal men open Western Athletic Conference play with three straight away games, starting Saturday at Seattle U.
Vandals vs. Redhawks
Idaho and Seattle U were regular opponents in the 1960s, but played just three times between 1969 and 2009. That series renewed in 2009-10 and the teams have played a home-and-home series each of the last three years. SU holds a 14-12 overall edge in the series, including 12 consecutive wins from 1961-68. Idaho holds victories in seven of the last eight meetings, dating to Nov. 25, 1985. It's been a series without too much drama (only six games decided by five points or fewer), but the 70-69 Vandal win in the most recent meeting came down to a missed free-throw-line jumper on Seattle U's final possession. Idaho shot .551 from the floor in a 73-62 win over SU last time the Vandals visited KeyArena on Dec. 11, 2011.
Passing a Legend
Senior center Kyle Barone scored 24 points on Dec. 20 against Boise State and in doing so, passed Vandal legend Gary Simmons for 11th on Idaho's career scoring list at 1,072 points. Simmons is the shortest player on Idaho's 1,000-point scoring list, while Barone is trying to become the highest-scoring post player at Idaho. Simmons played at Idaho from 1955-58 and was a 1958 All-American after leading the Pacific Coast Conference in scoring (20.4/gm). His No. 6 jersey was retired at Idaho in 1999.
WAC Openers
Idaho is 2-2 in WAC openers under head coach Don Verlin. The team is 2-5 overall in WAC openers since joining the league in the 2008-09 season and is 17-32 in conference openers since 1963-64, when the team was a part of the Big Sky Conference. Idaho was a member of the Pacific Coast Conference from 1921-59, but dates are not available for many seasons.
No Second Chances
Idaho leads the NCAA with a 76.9 defensive rebounding percentage (the Vandals rebound 76.9 percent of their opponents' misses). Opponents average just 7.9 offensive boards and 7.6 second-chance points per game against Idaho. The team's +8.1 rebounding margin ranks second in the WAC and 25th in the NCAA so far this year.
Hands Off!
Idaho hasn't had a shot blocked in its last two-plus games. The Vandals have taken 111 consecutive shots without getting an attempt blocked. Three times this year, Idaho has played a full game without an opponent blocking a single shot.

There was a guy in Chantilly selling a rifle for $1000. He called it a Bushmaster AR15 but it looked more like a Galil or an ar 18o. I told him I thought it might be a 180 but he said no it takes AR mags so it's an ar. OK, I wasn't going to argue with him but if I'd had the spare grand in me pocket it would have come home with me.
The lower looked stamped but I didn't look too close. It was NOT a standard ar15 lower.

B-CU football coach Jenkins to interview at Southern U.
Published: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 8:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 8:00 p.m.
Bethune-Cookman football coach Brian Jenkins will interview Thursday at Southern University in Baton Rouge, La., Southern athletic director William Broussard confirmed in a text message Sunday night.
Jenkins, B-CU's third-year head coach, is one of three finalists for Southern's head-coaching position, Broussard said Friday.
Jenkins told The (Baton Rouge) Advocate late Sunday night that "everything's in the evaluation stage'' right now.
"I'm going to sit down with Dr. Broussard and see what he has to say,'' Jenkins told The Advocate. "We'll talk and share things and see where it goes from there."
"We want to see if both of our goals can be met and see where that takes us."
Southern announced the other two finalists Saturday — Dawson Odums, the team's interim coach since early this season when Stump Michell was reassisgned to another position, and Nevada offensive line coach James Spady.
Spady and Odums are scheduled to interview earlier in the week. Broussard has said that he wants to present his final choice to the Board of Supervisors at its meeting Friday.

"I used white chocolate sugar free instant pudding. Everything else I did exactly as the recipe states. My husband said the only thing wrong with the recipe was that it didn't make enough. He is ready for me to make more. My son usually doesn't like coconut but decided to try it and he loved the toasted coconut. This is definitely a recipe I will keep and make again and again."

Since 1999, the town of Silleda has held this festival promoting ham foreleg, one of the area's characteristic products.
2015 Events: Characteristic dish served in a marquee. Traditional music groups, ending with a performance by several orchestras.
The dinner begins at 10 pm, under the marquee set up in Plaza da Feira Vella. The average attendance is around 1,500, which gives us an idea of how important the festival has become in a short time. The difficulty of preparing the delicacy in two different ways, boiled or roasted, has been overcome thanks to the collaboration of several bakeries, which make their ovens available free of charge, and a company from Lalín that boils the product. In this way, the 270 ham forelegs are ready for serving.
The Organization recommends booking and paying in advance at the usual places.
Menu: boiled or roasted ham foreleg, cheese and quince, bread, wine and soft drinks.

Important things to consider for digital marketing in 2016
With 2015 coming to an end, it is already time to analyze this year's success, failures and look forward to the New Year. Although it is easy to beat your competitors by keeping yourself updated with the latest SEO techniques and algorithms in today's marketing world, it is extremely important to know about the new features, tools and technologies to be sure that you are doing everything for attaining success. By keeping this in mind, check out important things when creating digital marketing plan for the New Year.
• Concentrate on content quality – In the world of SEO, content still rules and will continue to do so forever. The buyer's journey has actually changed a lot than what it had been past 10 years. Now, they can browse the Internet and search, compare and explore between various options to get the most recent information that they are looking for. This has made Internet the world's trust-worthy sales representative and if you are still not a part of it, then you are really missing out something great. This has made it important to display valuable information to your niche.
• Importance of mobile optimization – This year, Google changed its algorithm to penalize websites that are not mobile optimized. Due to this, some companies have seen major downfall in their traffic. It is no more an option, rather it has become mandatory to make website mobile-friendly so that it can be browsed easily on all devices and fits every screen size. Thus, if your website is not mobile friendly, then you will have to do it immediately to get more customers and boost sales, which in turn, will enable you to make huge profit from your business. In case you are planning to redesign your website, choose responsive design so that it can be accessed easily on all kinds of devices.
• Add short and interesting videos – Adding short and interesting videos in your website will let users know about your business. With the help of videos, you can build good relations with the present and potential customers and they may show interest in your business. You do not have to invest a lot of money in uploading videos in your website. Rather, create some interesting videos that will help get more visitors and leads that in turn, may become your future customers and increase sales.
Apart from the ones discussed above, it is important to remember that social media has become an important part of digital marketing. However, you will still find many companies who have not been able to get best result for sharing their updates and business photos. When it is about social media, you can make use of it in a better way like joining as many social networking sites as possible, adding more people to your friend list and even taking active participation in different forums. These are some considerations for the digital marketing plan of 2016 and beyond.

Robert DeNegro
From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 19:50, 19 February 2010 by Thescarydude (talk) (That's just uncalled for.)
Robert DeNegro is a ex-gangster and rap artist who is mentioned in a news segment on Lithium FM in Grand Theft Auto 2. He was secretly admitted to hospital amid claims that his skin couldn't cope with the amount of metal piercings he had adorned his body with. DeNegro had denied claims he had a piercing problem.
Robert De Negro is apparently a real-life rap artist as, according to the game credits, he contributed vocals to two songs on the soundtrack (Negro Vs. Conner's "Showin' Me Love" and E=MC Good Times' "Jacking In Hilltown"). His name is a play on the actor Robert De Niro and the term negro.

Lemonade Stand Party (20 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Summer days will surly entice little party goers with some yummy treats and a summer drink. We chose to set the stage in a nearby park and used a soft pallete of pink, yellow and a touch of green. A picnic style pink an dwhite plaid fabric simply draped on the table and pom poms strung from the tree was just the right touch for this sweets table consisting mostly of baked goods. A lemon cake adorned with fondant lemons created by Edible Details, tasty cake pops by KCreative, and store bought cupcakes with coordinated fondant toppers and of course a few candy accents (gumballs and rock candy) were all the kids needed to accompany their tasty lemonade drinks. Yellow and white striped bags were placed in a rustic cheese crate on the table for the treats that were to be taken home.
Our lemonade stand would not have been complete without a great "SALE" sign. This homemade sign resting up against a nearby tree got the attention of many passerby. A antique chair had these custom colored mason jars from Camlie Inc. sitting on it with coordinating striped straws and flags. what a fun treat it was to select the different colored jar to dfrink from!
Of course our little hostess had to have the perfect outfit to host her playdate. A darling apron skirt from Sweet Thread Clothing Co. and a tank from Old Navy did the trick . . .almost. What we have learned about having a 3 year old is they have their own opinions and this one loves jewelry and hairbands! So a fabulous necklace from The Sweet Crush and headband from Birdie Baby Boutique was just what our entrepreneur needed!
Bringing pieces from our home such as an old picture frame, baskets, chairs and flowers from our garden made this a very sweet, comfortable and personal atmosphere for our guests. Our printable party decorations truly complimented the feel of a rustic, preppy, girly lemonade stand party from the invitations to the party hats, straw flags and cupcake toppers. These and more are available our shop to help create the perfect lemonade stand party for all your little guests.

An unemployed and often uneducated woman. Because daytime television tells her, she believes that she has the "hardest job in the world." In her peanut brain, she never quite comprehends that women with REAL jobs perform the same tasks as housewives in ADDITION to going to an actual place of employment for 8+ hours per day. Housewives usually are extremely subservient to their husbands and tend to battle depression. They claim to be tired out from long days of playing with small children, making dinner, doing some minor cleaning, and watching lots of television. They will usually cry at the drop of a hat. After the children get older, they become a taxi service for taking kids to activities and friends' homes. Again, still a very easy life. Eventually, the kids leave the house and they spend their time going to book clubs and shit. Oh, and housewives almost invariable cheat when they get bored.
"I have a housewife. It's the hardest job in the world keeping up with my 2 little ones."
"No, you have a life of luxury. I'm a divorced mother of 3 trying to make it in the corporate world while still putting my kids on the right path. I think I have it just a LITTLE harder."

A woman who stays home to take care of the house, the kids, the husband and the pets. She works up a sweat, has anxiety attacks and burst into tears when a 2 year old says "no!" for the 100th time that day after having to picking up dog poop from the livingroom floor, washing 3 loads of laundry, washed all the dishes, went grocery shopping with 2 screaming kids, who get sick and throw up in the middle of the store. Then she comes home ,cleans up the kids, starts to make dinner with both kids hanging on her leg, only to have it burn. She recieves no thanks from anyone and gets no paycheck.

something a ho absolutely cannot turn into
can't turn a ho into a housewife
by dr funkytown January 20, 2013
A Housewife is a woman who has chosen to not work outside the home for money, but rather devotes all time, energy and love into creating a safe, warm, clean home for her family to grow and thrive. She cooks, cleans, does dishes, laundry, childcare, shopping, countless errands and careful money management all while supporting her family and community through community service work, volunteering and general parenting. Commonly referred to as a stay at home mom or homemaker.
After earning her master's degree she left her career after five years to be a housewife and mother.
by MEd Mom April 27, 2016
What a woman becomes AFTER she realises that there are things more important in life than HERSELF. She is able to realise that by emasculating her husband she is doing more harm than good and that by supporting her husband and children and taking care of the homefront she can contribute to the welfare of her family and society by ensuring that her children don't become 'latch key' kids. A housewife is a woman who is not content to allow someone else to raise her family.
ME! Ive had a career, i am still studying and futhering my education and i help my husband run a successful business from home, i cook, i clean and i look after my son and husband. All while waiting for a transplant, so don't you dare tell me i'm lazy becuase i'm a housewife

New Lamy Safaris : Charcoal & Black
So who can't use a few more Lamy Safari's? I think I own 14 fountain pens and 9 of them are Lamy's. 6 Safaris, (.5 Cursive italic red, EF blue, EF yellow, F light blue with red clip, EF charcoal and EF black.) a silver M AL-Star, EF Studio, and an EF Accent.
Red was my real first fountain pen ever, and the charcoal and black are my latest acquisitions.
I'm not going to re-invent the wheel with this review, as I've talked about the Safari in several previous blog posts including this one. What can I say? I love this pen and the way it writes. They are not priced to break your budget. (About $30 with a converter) I like playing with different inks and I like to have a lot of pens inked at the same time so the Safari's work really well for me.
I love the black clip on the charcoal, and I'm wondering if I can switch it with the one on the black pen to make an a Darth Vader model... But don't get me wrong - I also love the silver clip on the black pen. My favorite pen color combination is black & silver.
My new charcoal Safari is actually one that's been around for a while - and I think they may have even stopped making it.
I see a few subtle differences between the charcoal and other Safari models.
For one, it's got a textured surface rather than the ultra-shiny versions. It might be my imagination but it feels a little lighter in my hand. I'm just ok with the textured surface. I don't love it and I don't hate it.
The shiny black Safari has a silver steel nib to the black steel on the charcoal. I haven't met an ink that hasn't showed nib creep on a Safari. No big deal - I just wipe it off if it gets really bad. Interestingly, each of these nibs are EF's, but the silver one writes really, really fine and dry. Probably the finest driest Lamy nib I own. That may be the only rub with the Safari is that their nib widths are sometimes inconsistent. I have a fine that's more like an EF, a few EF's that write like F's, and an EF that's more like a Medium. I don't care. I still love them. Replacement nibs are inexpensive and you can always have them fancied up like my Cursive Italic that Pendemonium cut for me.
I will absolutely be switching the nibs on these two pens. Black nib has to go on the black pen. No two ways about it.
This is the only thing I don't like about the charcoal model. The rim of the cap is cut differently than on all of the rest of my Safari's. It's got a sharp edge and I'm not sure if it was a production flaw, or just the way that the charcoal model came out. I even called Filofax (Lamy Repair) and asked them if this was a new version of the Safari and that was when I was told it was an older model.
99% of the time I post my pens as I write and the sharp edged cap digs into my hand. I'm wondering if I could maybe smooth the edge with a polishing cloth.
All said, these are still my favorite pens.
Go buy a few of them from Swisher Pens and don't forget a converter because I'm sure you will want to be trying out lots of different bottled ink- though these pens also take Lamy proprietary cartridges.

I've got a charcoal Lamy Safari -- my only Safari, actually -- and it has the same type of edge as the one in your picture. So apparently this is by design.
- June 19, 2009 at 12:00 PM
- Henry said...
Sigh... the Charcoal safari was my first fountain pen. It's still in rotation. I tried the EF nibs. They seem so scratchy compared to the M or even the F Lamy nib.
Also, I got a replacement Lamy Vista... I love it! You should definitely get one, since you like safari's so much. I think demonstrators should be industrial, not covered in gold trims, like the M800 demonstrator. They should be minimalistic and that's exactly what the Vista is!

Great review! I am glad that you did it because the charcoal model is my next planned purchase. It looks great, I love the black nib. Nr

I didn't care for the rough surface of the charcoal model when I first got it. I wonder if they did that to make it more scratch resistant. The rougher surface will hide minor scratches and blemishes.
I used to work in a plastics molding shop and I can guarantee the rough surface is much easier to mold. They will have a lot less waste than on the smooth pens.
And lastly, I suspect the sharp edge you mention is due to the new mold design. With the smooth finish models, they can use the same mold for all the colors, just flush the plastic and run a new color. But the rough texture will require a new mold, so if they didn't build it the same way, that would explain the sharp edge on the charcoal.

I wonder if a gentle rub with some fine sandpaper would void the warranty...

After reading your reviews I went out and purchased a Lamy Safaria with converter and love it. I love the way it writes, its crisp and clean. Now on the search for Sumi ink. I love your reviews keep up the great work
- June 22, 2009 at 11:25 PM
I really enjoy your blog and your art, I'm impressed! What I'm here for is I was wondering how serious the dryness problem of the EF or F nibs is? I've been thinking of getting this pen but am not sure which nib I should choose. I'd really appreciate your opinion!

- Biffybeans said...
Iranna - to be totally honest, you can put 2 EF's next to one another and they might be different. I have an F that writes thinner than my EF's. Sometimes the dryer writers just need a bit of a break in time - and using an ink with good lubricating qualities can certainly help.

Avoiding sprained ankles while running
Spencer Niemann, DPM, FACFAS, a podiatrist board certified in foot surgery as well as rear (back) foot and ankle reconstruction, is on staff at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix. His office can be reached at (480) 917-2300.
Question: I've never been a runner, but I want to start training for a half-marathon as a fun way to get in shape. What can I do to avoid spraining an ankle or getting hurt?
Answer: Running can be great exercise, but if precautions are not taken, it can also be a source of significant pain.
Over conditioning, particularly among novice runners, can lead to an array of injuries and ailments, including stress fractures (tiny cracks in the bones of the feet, ankles and lower legs), shin splints (pain along the shinbone on the front of the lower leg), Achilles tendinitis (pain in the back of the leg near the heel) and plantar fasciitis (heel pain). Ankle sprains are possible, but they are more commonly associated with trail running.
Adequate stretching is instrumental in creating a pain-free running experience. While overall stretching is important, it is essential that the calf muscles be stretched before and after running. The most powerful muscles that impact the feet, the calf muscles essentially fight against muscles in the front of the leg while running. If the calves are not thoroughly stretched, the muscles in the front of the legs can become inflamed, resulting in shin splints. Tight calves or constant cramping in the calves are signs that more stretching is needed.
If shin splints develop, continue stretching, opt to run on grass and other soft surfaces, or replace running with other forms of exercise such as bicycling and swimming to give the leg muscles time to recover.
Choosing the right running shoe is another way to ensure a pleasant, productive and pain-free running experience. The old adage "you get what you pay for" holds true for running shoes, so invest wisely. Choose a pair that provides comfort, support and stability. Since the tread on shoes wears differently when running versus walking, only wear your running shoes while training.
The concept of barefoot running has made minimalist, low-profile shoes quite popular due to claims of a more natural running motion. However, this shoe trend corresponds with an increase in stress fractures and other running-related injuries. Ultimately, minimalist shoes should be reserved for lighter, more conditioned athletes rather than those who are new to running and are trying to get in shape.
To avoid the potential pitfalls of running, be sure to ease into a routine, stretch adequately and lace up the right running shoes for your level of conditioning.
