|Event Summary:
NAMPO Harvest Day 2013 will be held May 14-17, 2013 in Bothaville, South Africa.
Nampo Harvest Day is the largest agricultural exhibition on the African continent, attracting over 600 exhibitors and 73,550 attendees from 4 continents in 2011 and 71,723 in 2012, the increase in 2011 was due to a public holiday during the show dates.

All relationships should stem from a place of reciprocal love, trust, and understanding. When it comes to marriages, these things become all the more important, because the two partners have to share everything for the rest of their life: both the good and the bad, their joys and sorrows, the successes and the failures. But if this balance, this state of harmony and understanding is disturbed by either of the partners through lies, the relationship is bound to fail.
Sarah Becks depicts in her novel, "A Naive Heart," such a situation, where one of the spouses conceals the truth from the other, thus compromising their marriage. The author wrote on the themes of love, marriage, family, and betrayal, telling the story of Sarah and her husband, John. Sarah had been married for several years when John finally began showing is real face. When she realizes how things actually are and that her apparently loving, honest husband is hiding a dark secret, their relationship is ruined. Although at first John managed to hide his desires, using his marriage as façade, his true nature still showed through, making Sarah feel betrayed and deceived.
"A Naive Heart" determines the reader to ask himself or herself delicate, yet important questions regarding marriage. A few such questions are: is a man capable of hiding his real self from his wife for years, completely betraying her?; how well can the two partners know each other?; how much should be shared in a relationship and how much kept private?; does being direct and honest represent the best way to go at all times?; can a marriage weakened by lies be rebuilt?
Sarah Becks has managed to skillfully depict a rather sensitive issue, expressing in words the difficulties and contradictory feelings of an innocent person when faced with a corrupted one. After reading "A Naive Heart," you will be left with a new perspective on life and you will find yourself pondering upon your own relationships, both past and present.

In this context, a drawback is a refund of the customs duties paid on imported goods that you eventually export. Under specific circumstances, you can temporarily use a motor vehicle in Canada before you export it without affecting your eligibility for a drawback.
Qualifying for a drawback
If you are a Canadian resident, you have to export the vehicle no later than 30 days after purchasing it. If you are a non-resident, you have 12 months to export it.
Claiming a drawback
If you purchase a vehicle you intend to export, you cannot directly claim a drawback. However, you can arrange with the importer or dealer (e.g. of an imported vehicle) or the manufacturer (e.g. of a Canadian-manufactured vehicle) to file a drawback claim and pass the savings to you. If the importer or dealer chooses to do so, he or she could reduce the purchase price by the drawback amount.
If the dealer, importer, or manufacturer sells a vehicle for export, he or she has to complete Form K32, Drawback Claim , and send it to the local Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) office. He or she also has to support the claim with information from you, the purchaser, confirming that you exported the vehicle.
When more than one person is eligible to file a drawback claim, waivers must be submitted by the other eligible claimants before the CBSA can process your claim.
Time limits
In all cases, the claim has to be filed no later than four years after the date of release of the imported vehicle by the CBSA.
Payment and compliance
The CBSA often fully or partially refunds properly prepared and supported claims shortly after you file them. When the Agency partially refunds claims, it pays the balance owing after verifying the claim. When the Agency does not fully refund a claim within 90 days of you filing it, it will pay interest on the outstanding balance.
More information
For more information on the Drawback Program or for help preparing your claim, contact your local CBSA office.

So each processor will have its own I/O ports so what will need to happen is that those IO ports are multiplexed over shared devices and arbitration will be necessary.
thanks for reply.
I understood that ports from all processors will be multiplexed over one device .
if so, what if there are two processors need to communicate with same device?
well, if there is a priority ,that is meaning that one of those processors must wait.
or you may mean that all ports from one processor will be multiplexed over shared device . if so , I don't understand what are you meaning .
may because my native language isn't english, so I find some difficulty to understand.
please, i need a more clarifying , i do appreciate your help.
thanks in advance

WASHINGTON ñ Charlie Manuel hoped to get his 1,000th career win as manager a few days after the All-Star break, not a few weeks.
At this rate, heíd like to get there, period.
Someone reached the 1,000 plateau, but instead of Manuel it was Jayson Werth, whose 1,000th career hit was a three-run bomb that came on the first pitch Zach Miner served him in the bottom of the seventh that allowed the Nationals to overcome a four-run deficit and hand the Phillies their 10th straight road loss, 8-5, Saturday night.
The Phillies (52-64) put up four runs in the top of the second inning to give Cliff Lee a healthy lead. However, when the Nationals whittled it down to 4-3 by the time Leeís night ended after six innings, it meant the bullpen would need to get nine outs with no margin for error.
ìWhen Iím out, my job is done,î said Lee, who had his pitch count pushed up by Washington batters spoiling two-strike pitches with foul balls. ìItís up to the guys behind me to keep it where itís at.î
Manuel knows his team is in trouble when that is the circumstance. And he knows his bullpen is suffering from a lack of confidence as well as competence.
ìItís a confidence thing,î Manuel said. ìYou can see it. You see it, I see it. It happens that way. You see a difference when weíre behind in a game, or even up four or five runs. They feel it. They fight it. Thatís the growing pains.
ìBut you have to find it sooner or later Ö You see (Werth), heís confident.î
There arenít many bullpens lousy enough to give those witnessing their work zero confidence they will get the job done. But the Phillies have one of them.
Jake Diekman came in to pitch the seventh, and from the moment he issued a leadoff walk to Steve Lombardozzi the lead was as good as gone.
Denard Span followed with a sacrifice bunt, and after Lombardozzi took advantage of Diekmanís slow delivery to the plate, he walked Ryan Zimmerman to bring Bryce Harper. The heady 22-year-old, surely aware Diekman has proven he canít field, dropped a bunt that actually hung in the air as it went toward second base. However, once it found ground he had an easy RBI hit and the game was tied.
ìThe scouting reports these days are unreal. They have stats for everything,î Manuel said about the fact that teams are dropping bunts left and right against Diekman. ìThose are things that come into play. The bottom line is, weíre not getting it done and weíre losing a lot of games.î
With Diekmanís mess made, Manuel looked for someone to bail his team out and keep the game tied. The man given the nod was Miner, who got a long look in spring training and by and large got pilloried.
Werth made it feel like Clearwater all over again when he smashed a ball a dozen rows into the seats for his 17th homer and milestone hit.
In the innings preceding Diekman and Minerís follies, Washington reliever Tanner Roark worked two perfect innings, needing just 12 pitches to mow down the Phils and hand it to the back of the bullpen.
ìI try to keep my cool,î Manuel said. ìWhen you find different ways to lose every night, it gets tough.î
Darin Ruf and Domonic Brown each homered for the Phillies, and even Mike Martinez had two more hits in his third straight start in center field. But when it comes down to it, the Phils are losing at a mind-numbing pace.
Lee hardly recognizes this team as the same one that won 102 games two seasons ago.
ìYeah, it really is,î hard to believe, Lee said. ìNot having (Roy) Halladay has hurt us pretty badly. Last year he was pitching through things and wasnít really himself, then he has the surgery Ö We just had some bad luck with key injuries. Thereís no way around it.î

Idol's foray into California was inspired by the Lonely Island. No, not because the show has long-running and intimidating bosses; no, not because Steven Tyler wants to outdo Andy Samberg by turning himself into a one-man running gag. They're on a boat! All hands are on deck, all hair is either meticulously style (J. Lo) or wafting every which way (Steven), and like Kevin Garnett, everything is possible for those who audition there!
We really do mean it about the auditioners. The boat took up most of the screen and segment time, but San Diego probably had the best talent-to-chaff ratio so far; unlike the last two weeks even the joke contestants could sort of sing, and the standout contestants could probably win Idol at this stage.

Renowned Soil Physicist to Visit, Speak at DRI's Southern Nevada Science Center
For Immediate Release: November 27, 2012
LAS VEGAS - Martinus Th. ("Rien") van Genuchten will give a guest lecture at the Desert Research Institute, Southern Nevada Science Center this Thursday, November 29 at 12 P.M.
Dr. Rien van Genuchten has developed an exemplary career in soil hydrology for the past 35 years, with most of his dedicated work conducted at the US Salinity Laboratory in Riverside, Calif. Because of his highly cited research on the development of the basic theory of water flow and solute transport in unsaturated soils, he is among the premier hydrologists in the world today. In addition to his fundamental contributions to research, Rien van Genuchten has demonstrated unique leadership capabilities for the scientific community.
"Everyone within the soil physics and vadose zone hydrology community will at some point use the van Genuchten equation that he developed in the early 1980's," said Markus Berli, Associate Research Professor in the Desert Research Institute's Division of Hydrologic Sciences. "It's kind of like Einstein's E=mc2 for our community."
Navin Twarakavi, who is also an Associate Research Professor at the Desert Research Institute and has studied under Dr. van Genuchten, added that his visit could lead to future involvement with the Desert Research Institute's soil and water work in Nevada. "Having him involved in any sort of research would be a great honor and extremely beneficial to the scientific community here in Las Vegas," said Twarakavi.
Twarakavi noted that Rien van Genuchten is widely sought for his insights and advisory roles in steering research directions for a large number of institutions in the U.S. and abroad. He has been a guest scientist at various highly acclaimed institutes such as ETH Zurich, the editor-in-chief of the Vadose Zone Journal as well as associate editor of several other scientific journals such as Water Resources Research, Advances in Water Resources, and Journal of Contaminant Hydrology.
Rien van Genuchten's scientific achievements have earned him several awards such as the Soil Science Research Award (1996), Soil Physics Award (1998), and Technology Transfer Award (2001). In 2010 he was awarded the John Dalton Medal of the European Geosciences Union (EGU), one of the most prestigious awards in geosciences.
Currently, he holds a position as professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

Palliative Care Peer Observership Program
For clinical colleagues in Northern New England
The DHMC and Norris Cotton Cancer Center Palliative Care Service is offering a Peer Observership Program to support visiting clinicians in further developing their expertise in specific aspects of palliative care, including:
- Advanced pain and symptom management
- Communication strategies and approaches to psychosocial and spiritual counseling
- Decision-making support for patients and families confronting difficult treatment options
The program applies principles of adult learning in providing opportunities for clinicians to observe and learn from the active, seasoned palliative care team at DHMC through peer-to-peer modeling, complemented by providing access to carefully selected readings, quick reference charts and tips. Specific resources for clinical care and program development are provided, including clinical protocols and strategies for approaching common programmatic problems.
In addition to these components, the "macro" context of the Observership experience conveys the efficiencies and effectiveness of practicing within an authentic interdisciplinary team. The schedule of visitors' days ensures time for reflection and conversation with the DHMC and Cancer Center faculty, and fosters the development of relationships for ongoing collegial interactions.
The program is being offered seven months of the year in one or two week blocks extending over a two-year period from September 21, 2010 to June 1, 2012. A maximum of two clinicians will be accepted into the program at any one time.

Sometimes we fall into the habit of showing up and simply performing the WODs scheduled, we may even put all our physical effort into each one, but leave the gym without a second thought. We need to remember there are quite a few WODs we program that have a person, a family and a story behind them. So let's take a moment to honor those who are currently serving or have served our country by performing, in my opinion, the best CrossFit workout created, "MURPH". Let's remember that there's a man with a story, whose fought and provided his life to let us live ours. Let's make an effort in getting up that much earlier and putting our hearts into this 5AM Endurance WOD.

UCLA defensive end Dave Ball, two Oklahoma Sooners and defensive standouts from West Virginia and LSU were among the finalists for the 2003 Bronko Nagurski Trophy announced on Tuesday.
Ball, Oklahoma tackle Tommie Harris and cornerback Derrick Strait were named finalists for the annual award given to the best defensive player in college football by the Football Writers Association of America and the Charlotte Touchdown Club.
The other finalists also include West Virginia linebacker Grant Wiley and LSU tackle Chad Lavalais.
The Bronko Nagurski Trophy will be presented to the winner on Dec. 8 in Charlotte, N.C.
Ball, a 6-6, 275-pound senior from Dixon, Calif., leads the nation in sacks with 15.5 and is tops in the Pacific-10 Conference in tackles for loss (19.5). He was a Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week for his performance against Washington when he recorded 3.5 sacks, added another tackle for loss and caused two fumbles. Ball is also a finalist for the Lombardi and Ted Hendricks awards.
Harris, a Lombardi Trophy finalist, and Strait, considered one of the top defensive backs in the country, will both try to become the second Oklahoma player to win the 10-year-old award in three seasons. Current Dallas Cowboys defensive back Roy Williams won the award in 2001 while playing for OU.
Harris, a 6-3, 289-pound junior from Killeen, Texas, helps anchor OU's No. 3-ranked scoring defense in the country. He has nine tackles for 36 yards in losses this season. Four of those are sacks for 21 yards in losses. He has recovered a fumble and caused a fumble.
Strait, a 5-11, 195 senior from Austin, Texas, has had an outstanding season for a secondary which ranks tops in the country in yards allowed a game. He has set an Oklahoma career record for passes broken up, surpassing Williams' record.
Strait's interceptions against Texas early in the game keyed a 65-13 OU victory in which he also had 11 tackles (one for loss), two fumble recoveries and three passes broken up.
Lavalais, a 6-3, 292-pound senior from Marksville, La., is the anchor for an LSU defense which ranks tops in the country in fewest points allowed per game. He has six sacks, 18 quarterback hurries and four passes batted down this season. He has six other tackles for losses and also intercepted a pass against Alabama.
Wiley, a 6-1, 235-pound senior from Trappe, Pa., leads the country in forced fumbles (seven) and is second in the country in tackles per game (13.1) this season. Wiley had 11 tackles in West Virginia's upset of Virginia Tech and this past weekend chipped in with 15 tackles (two for losses) a sack and pass broken up in a victory over Pittsburgh.

NCSU Resort Plan Debated
Legislators cant vote, but hear details anyway
Legislators last week listened to supporters and opponents of North Carolina State Universitys proposed Centennial Campus hotel project. The Council of State, which consists of North Carolinas statewide elected leaders serving in Raleigh, will vote on the project early next year.
State senators and representatives on the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations heard NCSU Chancellor Mary Anne Fox testify about the need for the hotel, conference center and golf course, which would cost an estimated $71 million to build.
We believe it not only will enhance the education of our students, Fox said, but provide an economic boon
The project would be financed through the issuance of bonds, which would be repaid from the facilities revenues. The university plan says NCSU would commit usage to meet required debt coverage, which it says excludes tuition, state appropriations, restricted funds and special facilities funds.
But opponents of the project, including private hotel, resort, and golf course operators, doubt the profitability of the project and say that taxpayers could end up absorbing much of the costs. The 250-room conference center/hotel is expected to cost $235,000 per room, which private interests say is excessively lavish. Fox denied those claims.
This is a project that will not require taxpayer dollars, she said. This is not a luxury hotel by any way.
Those questioning the project dont believe state officials are taking enough time to consider the problems with the plan.
It is going from stage to stage to stage without getting the scrutiny it deserves, said Gerry Hancock, a lawyer representing hotel and golf course owners in the state.
Hancock said the original plan for NCSUs conference center called for private ownership, but had become such an expensive proposition by 2000 that construction with public funds was necessary. But the universitys plan says private interests would still be willing to own the project if the university will make substantial use guarantees.
Hancock also compared the extravagance of the NCSU project, which he said will be the most expensive ever built in North Carolina, to the privately-owned Grandover Resort in Greensboro, which was built for less money. He said in order for the NCSU hotel to meet its five-year projections to cover operating costs and debt payments, 73 percent of its clients would need to come from existing hospitality businesses in the state. He said it would take $60 million out of private hotels in its first 5 years, if successful.
Ahead of the Curve
Despite the many resources North Carolina already uses to provide money for economic incentives, in 2001 the General Assembly gave permission for the Department of Transportation to use Highway Trust Fund money for economic development projects. The News & Record of Greensboro reported Dec. 5 that Honda Power Equipment Mfg. Inc. may expand its Swepsonville plant, which the newspaper said could create 409 jobs. If the company does, the Board of Transportation is expected to approve a $300,000 grant from the Trust Fund to widen N.C. 119 in Swepsonville, which would create a continuous left-turn lane for the plant.
The N.C. Department of Commerce will likely provide $112,500 to jump start a project to provide housing for the elderly in East Flat Rock, the Hendersonville Times-News reported Dec. 4. The plan is to build apartments on the site of the former East Flat Rock school, which the newspaper said could rejuvenate the communitys crumbling historic center. The $2.7 million project will be built by Regency of Raleigh, which has similar facilities in Garner, Statesville, and Lynchburg, Va. Regency expects to also apply for $1.3 million in low-income housing credits and $587,000 in historic tax credits.The company will continue to own and operate the apartments after construction is finished. Hendersonville surveyor William Patterson called the Commerce grant corporate welfare. He also said, Somebody is lining their pocket.

Right or Wrong?
N.C. schools introduce character education
In an article titled Are We Living in a Moral Stone Age? philosopher Christina Hoff Sommers writes: We often hear that today Johnny cant read, cant write, and has trouble finding France on a map. It is also true that Johnny is having difficulty distinguishing right from wrong. Along with illiteracy and innumeracy, we must add deep moral confusion to the list of American educational problems.
Amid fanfare, a new curriculum item has arrived on the scene in North Carolinas public schools. Its called character education, and along with the Student Citizen Act of 2001, promotes target behaviors that successful character education students should exhibit. Traits identified in the character education handbook are courage, good judgment, integrity, kindness, perseverance, respect, responsibility, and self-discipline.
Can a handbook and curriculum plan transform the morally confused into the morally upright? The state of North Carolina is betting that the answer is yes. Local school boards were required to implement character instruction by the beginning of the 2002-'03 school year, unless they were granted a temporary exemption.
The new curriculum manual makes liberal reference to centers of study in ethics, morality, and values. Prominent among these are The Center for the Fourth and Fifth Rs (for respect and responsibility), the Josephson Institute of Ethics, the Center for the Advancement of Ethics and Character, and the John Templeton Foundation.
Thomas Lickona, author of Raising Better Children and Educating For Character: How Our Schools Can Teach Respect and Responsibility and a faculty member at the State College of New York at Cortland, is associated with the Center for the Fourth and Fifth Rs. Lickona wrote the definition of character education that opens the new manual. The definition emphasizes student behaviors that stem from embracing universal values that we all share.
The welcome page for the Internet site of The Center for the Fourth and Fifth Rs says, Character means living by these core values understanding them, caring about them, and acting upon them. Accordingly, a student who succeeds in the character education curriculum will presumably embody these traits.
Lickonas book, Educating for Character, focuses on what schools can do as one component of the process, but the dedication page, which reads to God, indicates that character education, for Lickona, exists on a broader plain than just in the classroom. His work does not promote religion or a religion, but a deeper background clearly underlies the principles he advocates.
The Center for the Fourth and Fifth Rs addresses one difficult moral question by describing the behaviors that contribute to good character, as well as those that do not. In the essay The Neglected Heart: Ten Emotional Dangers of Premature Sexual Involvement, there is no moral haze surrounding uncommitted sex. The essay argues that the corruption of character and the debasement of sex are the consequences of premature, uncommitted sexual activity.
In short, it concludes that people of good character would not engage in this activity, which is inconsistent with the development of good character.
Capital Quotes
If its such a prime piece of property, which it is, then why hasnt anything been built there at this time?
Rev. Elmo Herman talking to the Fayetteville Observer about a piece of land his church wanted to acquire in Vandor alongside Interstate 95. The Cumberland Christian Center had an agreement to purchase 38 acres of land to build a new sanctuary and other facilities subject to rezoning. The Cumberland County Board of Commissioners rejected the rezoning petition, however, finding that the land was too valuable, as part of a potential large industrial site, to allow single tracts to be rezoned for other purposes.
Are we asking enough to make a difference or are we spitting in the ocean?
Cary Mayor Glen Lang, as quoted by The News & Observer of Raleigh, talking about a proposal endorsed by the mayors of Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and Cary to increase a variety of taxes to raise $1.3 billion over the next 25 years for highways and transit. Among the taxes and fees the proposal recommends increasing are the gas tax in the Triangle area and automobile registration fees. Even with the tax increases, consultants noted that the area still has more than $6.5 billion in unfunded transportation needs over the 25-year period.
Anyway, can we hang on to it? Is there anything else we can spend it on?
Lamont Wiggins, Rocky Mount councilman, as quoted by the Rocky Mount Telegram, asking whether any additional uses could be found for certain state Hurricane Floyd relief funds. The state money was designated for purchasing properties in the 100-year floodplain damaged by the storm. The city purchased and demolished more than 470 properties; 26 remain to be bought. With no other legal use for the money, the Rocky Mount City Council voted unanimously to return $13 million to the state.

Antigun Scholar Resigns
Emory finds 'evidence of falsification' against author
The saga of Michael Bellesiles appeared to come to an end in late October when the antigun scholar resigned from the faculty of Emory University.
Bellesiles gained national acclaim two years ago with the publication of his book Arming America: The Origins of the National Gun Culture (Alfred A. Knopf), in which he contended, using Colonial documents, early federal laws, and other historical accounts that private gun ownership in early America was uncommon. The gun culture pervasive in American today, Bellesiles argued, was not part of early America; the idea of a heavily armed colonial America was a myth.
The book created a sensation in gun-control circles. It was hailed by scholars and media alike, eventually receiving Columbia Universitys Bancroft Prize for historical scholarship, the most prestigious award for American history books.
Despite the award and Bellesiles heavy use of footnotes throughout the book, Arming America drew a steady and mounting stream of historians who challenged it on many fronts. Among them:
Bellesiles cites San Francisco probate records that were destroyed in the earthquake of 1906;
He cited the wills of about 100 people in colonial Rhode Island who died without wills;
He cited Vermont court records that no other scholar could prove existed;
He misrepresented numerous original sources;
He refused to share his research data with other historians when asked, as required by the ethical standards of the American Historical Association.
Chief among his critics was James Lindgren, professor of law at Northwestern University, and Clayton Cramer, author of two books on the history of gun laws in America. Scholarly critiques appeared in The William and Mary Quarterly and Reviews in American History. The Boston Globe also investigated some of Bellesiles sources and found that some did not match his claims about them and others did not exist. A previous Bancroft Prize winner, Dr. Roger Lane, who had favorably reviewed Arming America in the September 2001 issue of the Journal of American History and had served on the jury that awarded Bellesiles the prize, issued a press release in April 2002 saying the committee may revoke the prize (the committee has not).
Emory University then conducted an inquiry, which it completed in October, into charges that Bellesiles committed academic misconduct.
The investigative committee conducting the inquiry found evidence of falsification by Bellesiles, reason to question Bellesiles veracity on the San Francisco records, and that Bellesiles fell short on the standards of professional historical scholarship. In Bellesiles favor, however, the committee found that despite serious failure of and carelessness in the gathering and presentation of archival records and the use of quantitative analysis, we cannot speak of intentional fabrication or falsification. (Critics had noted that all of Bellesiles errors were in favor of his thesis.)
For his part, Bellesiles adamantly denied the charges. I have never fabricated evidence of any kind nor knowingly evaded my responsibilities as a scholar, he wrote in a response to the inquiry.
On The Cutting Edge
The Shadow Economy
Within most economies, there are large portions that work outside the law called shadow economies. Participants in the shadow economy neither pay taxes nor obey regulations. A recent study finds that taxes and burdensome regulations push people into the shadow economy.
The authors use data from 21 countries in the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development and 22 countries that are adopting capitalism. The sizes of the shadow economies are substantial.
Over 2001 to 2002, the average size of an OECD shadow economy was 16.7 percent of official gross domestic product. Over the same time frame, the average transition country shadow economy is 38 percent of official GDP.
Using other economic data, the article finds that taxes and regulations push portions of the economy away from the law. A one-point increase in regulation (on a five-point scale) results in the shadow economy increasing by 10 percent.
A one percent increase in the marginal personal income tax triggers an increase of 1.4 percent in the shadow economy. Higher corporation taxes have a similar effect.
This is especially prevalent in the OECD countries. Greece, Belgium, Italy, and Sweden all have tax burdens larger than 70 percent of GDP and have shadow economies larger than 20 percent of their official GDP. In contrast, the United States and Switzerland have low tax burdens and low shadow economies (8.8 percent and 7.5 percent, respectively).
The author argues that shadow economies have a vicious cycle. As people enter the shadow economy, tax revenues fall, leading the government to raise taxes. This pushes more people into the shadow economy, starting the process over.
Researched by Friedrich Schneider, The Size and Development of the Shadow Economies of 22 Transition and 21 OECD Countries, IZA Discussion Paper No. 514, June 2002, Institute for the Study of Labor.
Job Turnover
A new Labor Department survey shows that the U.S. labor market, described in recent months by many economists and policymakers as stagnant, has instead been a churning cauldron of change, with millions of people each month getting hired and fired.
Given that, it seems that the more than 8 million jobless in September were not necessarily the same 8 million unemployed in August or October.
The Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics recently released the August results of its new Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, which painted a dynamic picture. According to the survey, about 3.7 percent of those at work at the end of August were hired that month. At the same time, 4.1 percent of those at work on the last day of July left their jobs during August.
Of those who left, three-fifths quit and only one-third were discharged or laid off for more than a week, with the remaining fraction departing because of retirement, disability, death or transfer to another location.
The figures may even understate the amount of change, according to an analysis by two Federal Reserve economists of other BLS data. The Fed economists, Bruce C. Fallick and Charles A. Fleischman, found that labor-market turnover was so great over a seven-year period ending in 2001 that, on average, 6.7 percent of all workers employed one month were not employed by the same employer the following month. The survey also offers one figure that does not appear in the regular monthly statistics: the number of job openings. In August there were 3.49 million job openings for which employers were actively seeking workers.
Reported in the Washington Post, 11-6-2002.
Corruption stifles freedom and economic growth. However, there are two types of corruption: top-down and bottom-up. Bottom-up refers to low-level officials collecting bribes and sharing them with superiors, while top-down refers to corrupt superior officials buying the silence of subordinates by sharing their loot. Recent research analyzes the two types of corruption, using the notoriously corrupt Commonwealth of Independent States as a model.
Firms report paying 5.7 percent of all revenues as bribes in the CIS, as opposed to 3.3 percent in the Balkans, Baltic republics, and Central Europe. Economic growth in these other states is more than 2 percent higher on average than growth in the CIS.
After further analyzing the CIS, the researchers found that if corruption is inevitable, then top-down corruption is superior to bottom-up. The amount of bribes paid per investment project is smaller with top-down corruption.
Firms have better information about the exact quantity and method of payment under a top-down corruption, meaning that firms have better information about the true costs of a project.
The economy is larger under centralized corruption. Centralized corruption is more easily controlled and restricted, leading to smaller bribes.
Reported in Economic Inquiry, Vol. 40, No. 4, October 2002.

Who is running for school board?
Nearly all incumbents in Terrebonne, Lafourche.
Published: Monday, June 14, 2010 at 11:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 14, 2010 at 11:43 a.m.
THIBODAUX — Nearly all school board members in Terrebonne and Lafourche say they will run for re-election this fall.
Candidates in the Oct. 2 election will sign up at parish clerk of court offices July 7-9.
In Terrebonne, all current board members say they will run, though Rickie Pitre refused to comment.
Lafourche incumbents who don't plan to run include G.A. Rodrigue, who said his three terms are enough, and Roy Landry, who said he plans to run only if no one else shows interest.
"The first four years, your first term, you're just learning the system," said Jon Callais, a Lafourche board member now in his second term. "The second term, you start doing it. The third term, you get into implementing."
As for challengers, Dave Ohlmeyer, a former Terrebonne School Board member who most recently served as director of the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center, has said he will run this fall.
Historically, voter turnout for school board elections is not large. In 2006, seven of Lafourche's 15 board members ran unopposed, and among the eight elections average voter turnout was 34 percent.
That same year in Terrebonne, only three of the nine board members faced challenges; the greatest voter turnout in a single district was less than 26 percent.
Roosevelt Thomas, a Terrebonne board member, said he plans to run again for what would be his third and, he says, final term.
"Hopefully, I'll have completed the task of making sure the school system is doing the best it can to educate our children," he said.
Other incumbents say they feel there's more to be done.
"We're going to be faced with some serious challenges," said Lafourche board member Ronald Pere. "I want to be part of the solution."
The Lafourche Clerk of Court's main office is in the government annex building, 303 W. Third St., Thibodaux. The office can be reached by calling 447-4841.
The Terrebonne Clerk of Court's office is in the Terrebonne Parish Courthouse, 7856 Main St., Houma. The office can be reached at 868-5660.
Both offices will handle qualifications between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on July 7 and 8, and from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 9.

TUCSON, Ariz. The No. 22 University of Arizona women's gymnastics team grabbed a victory in its final home meet of the season, defeating the North Carolina State Wolfpack, 195.125-194.350, in front of a crowd of 325, Wednesday night in McKale Center. The Wildcats set a new school record on bars with the team's season-high mark of 49.475, which topped the previous all-time team record of 49.425. Arizona improved to 5-15 overall, while North Carolina State dropped to 14-14 on the season.
Arizona, who won by .775, never trailed during the entire meet. The Wildcats used a 48.875 on vault to take the lead over the Wolfpack by .65 following the first rotation. Arizona's new school-record 49.475 on bars enabled the squad to increase its advantage by 1.600 entering the third rotation. In the third event, the Wildcats encountered some problems on beam, as four of the six competitors fell from the beam. Freshman Andi McCabe and senior Kara Fry were the only two UA gymnasts to score above a 9.800 in the beam event, and Arizona was forced to count three falls in its final team beam total. As a result of Arizona's continuing struggles on beam, North Carolina State narrowed the Wildcat lead to .700 entering the fourth and final rotation. The Wolfpack scored a 49.125 on beam in the final event, but Arizona's 49.200 on floor, which ranks as UA's No. 7 all-time rotation score, was enough to capture the victory.
Individually for the Wildcats, senior Kara Fry led the Arizona charge in her final home meet, as she captured her fourth all-around title of the season. Fry matched a career-high 39.525 in the overall all-around standings, and her score currently ranks as the third-best all-time individual mark. Fry also won the vault title and tied a career-high 9.850, and she took first-place honors on bars, matching a career-high 9.950 in the event. Fry's career-high mark on bars ranks as the third-best all-time individual mark, and her career high on vault keeps her in a tie for the 10th-best individual score. She tied for third place on beam (9.850) and finished second on floor (9.875).
Senior Heather Straccia handed in two strong performances on bars and floor, setting new career-high marks in each event. Straccia scored a career-high 9.900 on bars and finished in third place. She posted an impressive 9.925 on floor, and she won the individual floor title for the first time in her career. Fellow senior Mary Reiss tied for third place on floor with a 9.850.
Sophomore Nikki Beyschau tied for second on vault with a 9.800, and she finished second on bars with a 9.925. Freshman Andi McCabe posted a career-high 39.150 in the all-around, finishing third overall. McCabe tied for fifth on vault (9.750), finished fifth on beam (9.825), and she tied a career-high 9.825 on bars. Senior Nicci Filchner and junior Randi Liljenquist tied for fifth place on bars, with each scoring a 9.850 in the event. Liljenquist also tied for fifth place on floor with a 9.800, and she ended the meet in fifth place in the all-around with a 38.350. Freshman Cori Messina tied for fifth-place honors on vault with a 9.750.
"I am very glad that we got the win, but we gave away a golden opportunity to turn in a really high score. We have the potential to be a very good team, but we just need to figure out our beam quandary. We really have to buckle down in the next week because this is the time when everything counts. We've had six meets where beam has really cost us points, and tonight, even though we won the meet, we still had to count three falls. We had a chance to get a high score and move up in the rankings, but it is going to be tough from here on out," said Arizona head coach Bill Ryden.
Arizona travels to Seattle, Wash., for the Pac-10 Championship meet on Saturday, March 24, at 8 p.m. MST, where the Wildcats will battle the six other Pac-10 teams, all of which currently are ranked in the national top-25 poll.

So that's why the Sporting New ranked the Saints number five in the
country. The Saints played their best basketball of the season in the
second half of Wednesday's 73-52 win over #8 Hutchinson in front
of a frenzied Green House crowd. Seward point guard Tony Smith
says it was great to be home. "We love playing back in the Green
House," Smith said after scoring 17 points and dishing six assists.
"It's a positive environment and we feed off of it." Donte McCarter
added 17 while Marky Nolen scored 14 and grabbed 11 rebounds
and Latiq Agard dropped in 13 points. The Saints trailed the
Blue Dragons (9-1, 0-1) 27-26 at halftime but outscored Steve Eck's
team 47-25 in the second half. The Saints forced 33 turnover and
committed only 12. SCCC head coach Bryan Zollinger says his
boys turned things around after two losses in Texas. "I'm proud of
them because we've been struggling with some things," Zollinger
said. "We didn't play well in the first half so for them to come back
they showed some perserverance." The 7-3 Saints go to Great Bend
to play the defending Jayhawk West champs Saturday night at 8 PM
on B107.5 and kscbnews.net.

FOIA | Privacy & Security Notice | External Link Disclaimer | Webmaster
Last week I was part of a team giving speeches to a deployed squadron that was about to head home and was busy forgetting important stuff I wanted to tell the service members.
I hate that. I love speaking with the service members, but I hate not being able to tell them every single thing they need to know. These guys get the basics of homecoming from the command. They really do.
For example, we always remember to tell the service member to get involved with the family again, to give it time and to wait to reassert their authority over teenagers.
However, the official folks forget to tell service members they have to learn the emotional subtleties too if they plan to do this deployment thing more than once in their lives. We never do remember to tell them about the subtle stuff like "Gaposis."
Yeah, Gaposis. It's a technical term I just invented. Gaposis refers to the barely perceptible gaps in family life that open the first few days someone comes home from deployment.
Here is how it usually works. A guy gets home and the first day is all about him. We family members have to kiss him, feed him, pat him, celebrate him, talk him up and call his mom. Then we notice the poor guy is exhausted and suffering from the time zone change, so we put him to bed.
That's all well and good, but the next day no one tells the service member all that coddling will start winding down before he actually has the energy to get back on board with the family. No one tells him there will be a test during which the phone will ring and there will be a definite, measurable gaposis during which the entire family will wait for him to jump up and answer the phone.
If the service member hasn't been warned to watch out for gaposis, he probably won't jump up to get the phone. It makes sense for him to let someone else get the phone, yet there is a pronounced pause, because of the gaposis that occurs as the family silently creates opportunities for the service member to take back his place in the family.
Service members report the same thing happens when a toddler falls down and cries, when a preschooler needs to be put to bed or when someone needs to be driven to a friend's house. A gap opens up in which everyone is waiting for the service member to jump in and do — no matter how tired he is.
Someone should tell them they can't afford not to jump on the gaposis. That is part of the price of deployment, and service members have to be willing to jump back on the family merry-go-round.
Gaposis is subtle and lasts for a short time, so our service members have to be ready and have to pay attention. They have to leap wildly, clumsily, thoroughly on every gaposis that comes their way.

Lime, Red, White, and Silver Christmas Party (48 photos)

Color Palette~ Lime Green, Red, White, and Silver
Style~ Whimsical
Theme~ Christmas
I was hired to style Tennessee State Bank's annual Christmas Party. There were 250 guests.
For this party, I was asked to create approximately 40 centerpieces, create a beautiful sweets/candy table, make several wreaths and garlands, decorate several trees, and also decorate a massive archway. I had an absolute blast creating each piece, especially designing the candy table.
Candy Table Details: I started by searching for the perfect fabric to use for the backdrop. As soon as I saw the one I used by Premier Prints, I knew it was the one. It set the tone for this whimsically decorated party! The candies were all in red, lime, or white and included mints, taffy, lollipops, Santa beard lollipops, M&Ms, rock candy, gummy bears, candy canes, jelly bells, and delicious custom made cupcakes by a local baker. I created cardstock toppers for the already adorable cupcakes as well as custom labels for each candy. I made 2 centerpieces which were in my vintage milk glass vases for the table and also used 2 fun tree props I found at Hobby Lobby on each end. I also accented the tables with white Christmas lights.
Centerpieces: To start, each table was adorned with either a red pintuck or lime pinktuck tablerunner. The centerpieces were a mix of things I custom created; pieces I found, dressed up, and added embellishments to; and also pieces that were perfect as is. I had a variety of tree centerpieces, ornaments hangers with sparkly ornaments in the party colors, styrofoam sparkly ball centerpieces, and reindeer. I filled apothecary jars and milk glass compotes with ornaments and candies. Additionally each table was accented with led light candles.
Custom made deco mesh wreaths and garlands were created and hung on mirrors around the room.

April 1, 1999
LOS ANGELES - The two-time defending Pac-10 Champion UCLA women's soccer team is preparing for its tough 1999 season with a competitive spring schedule. During the spring season the Bruins will face one national team, two national champions and one Final Four team. Highlighting the spring schedule is UCLA's scrimmage against the Mexican National team on Friday, April 9 at 1 p.m. at the North Athletic Field on the UCLA campus. Admission to the game is free.
UCLA will compete in an exhibition game with Cal State Bakersfield on Saturday, April 17 at 7 p.m. at Bakersfield. Fifty percent of the proceeds from the game will be donated to the American Cancer Society. In the exhibition match-up last season of the UCLA and Cal State Bakersfield men's teams, $5000 were generated for charity.
A long anticipated match-up between identical twin sisters Skylar (UCLA defender) and Jacqui (Santa Clara forward) Little will finally happen when UCLA takes on 1998 Final Four competitor Santa Clara on Saturday, April 25 at 1 p.m. at Santa Clara.
The Bruins will round out their spring season against the three-time National Champion Ajax Women's Club team on Saturday, May 1 at 11 a.m. at Nansen Field in Rolling Hills, CA. Current UCLA assistant coach Lisa Shattuck and former players Traci Arkenberg and Sarah Miller are members of Ajax and UCLA head coach Todd Saldaa guided the club team to the 1993 national title.
The Bruins are 1-0-1 in the spring season, tying LMU at zero and defeating 1998 NAIA National Champion Azusa Pacific 3-0.

Every time we drive up Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park during the summer and I see this beautiful mountain lake. It reminds me of a lake way up in the Alps. It is nestled right in the mountains so that you can see if only from certain angles. It just looks so pristine with snowy the mountain peaks surrounding it.
It's gorgeous, don't you think? Have you ever seen it when you've driven up Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park?

ALL CITY of San antonio department NEWS
Communications and Public Affairs: 207-7234
Published on Thursday, July 17, 2014
As part of my commitment to the military, I am required to attend professional military education training. As such, last year, I requested to attend military school to further my development as an officer in the Air Force Reserve. These slots are hard to come by for Reservists, but I was fortunate to be given a slot. With the mayoral vacancy, I had hoped to reschedule, but was informed this weekend that I would need to honor my commitment and begin training at the beginning of August.
It is regrettable that the timing leaves me unable to continue my pursuit of the interim appointment, but I am very pleased to have four very qualified colleagues who are stepping up to the plate.
I'm very excited about this opportunity to further my development as an officer and I have begun the process of selecting a community leader to represent District 7 while I am at military school.
My military commitment is one I take very seriously and I am honored to serve. I look forward to putting on the uniform every day for a few weeks and learning even more about being a better officer.

Windows also has the huge advantage of being simple enough for people with minimal computer experience to install and use.
...Ever tried letting your grandma or any other computer inexperient user install windows? It's a hell, they can't...
...And I'm one of the administrators in our school, we've got Windows 2000 on each computer (+ the options to boot a Linux Terminal), guess how many people fail to Log on in Windows using their name and password... Or have problems changing the font size with Word... Or something stupid like that...
I'm not saying it'll be different if they would have used Linux (they won't), there's simply no "idiot-proof" programm/OS...

Price: $85.00
In Germany's Erzgebirgskreis district, home of the Ore Mountains and just north of the Czech border, the town of Seiffen is known for its wooden toys and Christmas traditions. When silver and tin mines started dying down in the 17th century, crafts like lacemaking and carved wooden toys and figurines began to take its place. Today Seiffen is known for its nutcrackers, "smoking men" carvings, and choir pyramids.
Choir pyramids, or Christmas pyramids, are carved wooden figures usually depicting Christian themes like angels, manger scenes, or Christmas carolers as in our linden and birch-wood version. The tree in the center is made one curl at a time by an artisan using a chisel. If he or she breaks a curl, the artisan has to start over from the beginning. The heat from candles in the base propels the fan at the top, causing the carolers to gently spin. Life-sized versions of these choir pyramids are popular at the Christmas market (Christkindlmarkt) and other festivals throughout the Erzgebirgskreis and across Germany.
Handcrafted in Seiffen, Germany. Linden wood, birch wood, and metal; candles not included. Approximately 10"H.
Please note: This choir pyramid is not a toy and should not be used by children. Do not leave candles burning unattended or attempt to move the choir pyramid while candles are lit.

Kat Dennings "was in a rut." She needed something "to brighten her day."
No doubt you've found yourself walking into a Starbucks and thinking, "Man, this place could really use some more tea. And they should get rid of all this dumb coffee stuff, too."

Feel free to keep sipping your tea, Earl Grey, hot, but be advised that those in the know will soon be switching to a fine blend made using panda crap.
