Well deserved. Only thing I listen to.
Radio New Zealand National – the country's only ad-free state broadcaster – has again beaten its commercial rivals to claim the most popular radio station in the country.
Despite its financial constraints by having not had a funding increase since 2007, the station says it has a 10.5% of station share nationwide, ahead of its nearest commercial rival at 8.9%, according to just-released Nielsen research figures.
During the week about 476,000 people tune into a Radio NZ National programme.
The station says its flagship programme, Morning Report, is also the most popular programme, drawing in an average of 342,000 weekly listeners.
"Pound for pound, New Zealand is the most competitive radio market anywhere in the world, with more radio stations per capita than any other country," chief executive Peter Cavanagh says.
"For a national broadcaster like Radio New Zealand, with a strong focus on in-depth news and information programming, to be the country's No 1radio station is a truly remarkable achievement."
Radio NZ says most of its other major programmes – including Nine to Noon, Jim Mora's The Panel and Checkpoint – were also ranked No 1.
The twice-yearly commercial radio survey, which regularly features Newstalk ZB in its top spot, excludes Radio NZ's audience because it is not considered to be part of the advertising market.
The nationwide Nielsen survey is conducted over a 40-week period between February and November, while the commercial survey is only conducted twice a year in six-week blocks.

Agree ! And ole Geoff never does the tough ones - so the result is nothing achieved at the end of any important interviews. "We'll have to leave it there" - as he always says...
I think Radio NZ is awesome, but that is hardly the big question raised by this article.
the big question is why does Mr Cavanagh say "pound for pound"? either it means pound as is weight, when "kilo for kilo" would surely be more culturally appropriate, or it means pound as in British currency, when dollar for dollar would be more antipodean.
Thoroughly deserved as a broadcaster of substance and not dependent on the superficiality of personality broadcasting and once-over-lightly "news" that accompanies it. Sean Plunket - where is he now? If only we had it in television than the 15-second, dumbed-down excuse for news we get from TVNZ.

Ah I think you could halve that figure. If I'm correct they only get about $30 million a year - not that much, really, when you consider all they do.
Call it $30 Million, that is still a huge amount, can assure you commercial radio runs on a tiny fraction of that, National Radio would want to be an excellent product for that. No wonder they have had no budget increase ( Concert could go, heard of CDs or iTunes ).
Yes, but commercial radio is sh*t.
In your high brow, lefty opinion ....
Difference being the poor, long suffering tax payer is forced to pay for the indulgent dross we hear on National Radio and waste of money Concert - $50 million buys a lot of hospital beds and class rooms.
Overall, National Radio is great. I do miss Sean Plunket on Morning Report but his loss is made up for by the other excellent presenters who make up the late morning (Ryan) and afternoon (Mora) programmes. I do cringe when it comes to Mary Wilson's Checkpoint programme. Her interviewing style is overly agressive and I am amazed that her guests just don't hang up the phone.
And Plunket's style wasn't that? I think you are being sexist in your analysis.
Radio NZ has help up remarkably well in the face of an anti-intellectual tidal wave that has already swept TVNZ6 and TVNZ7 into oblivion.
As for Sean Plunket, he kind of sold out when he jumped to ZB. Do agree, though, that Geoff Robinson and Simon Mercep need to sharpen their teeth and properly hold our officials to account.

Four UCLA football players will not be with the team when the Bruins arrive in San Francisco on the evening of December 26 to begin preparations for the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.
UCLA senior safety Tony Dye, redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Alberto Cid and redshirt sophomore linebacker Isaiah Bowens did not meet NCAA academic eligibility standards for the game and are therefore not permitted to travel to San Francisco, while junior quarterback Richard Brehaut has been suspended one game for violation of team rules, it was announced today by interim football coach Mike Johnson.
"All four of these student-athletes are disappointed that they will miss the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl, but they all understand that they have let their teammates and the program down and that there are consequences for their actions," Johnson said.
Dye played in five games for UCLA in 2011, starting all of them while tallying 23 tackles. Cid participated in nine games for the Bruins, starting five of them. Bowens played in 12 games off the bench, making nine tackles and recovering two fumbles.
Brehaut played in seven games, started four, and completed 67 of 121 passes for 948 yards and 6 touchdowns.

Not too long ago, Diana and I were lucky enough to be invited to a fantastic event hosted by Absolut Vodka at the Hubbard Inn. Not only did they serve us a wonderful brunch, but they also plowed us with all sorts of fabulous cocktails and sent us all home with beautiful bottles of the new Absolut Chicago (which we had both been coveting since Chicago Gourmet).
It was during this brunch that I discovered one of my newest favorite cocktails, all thanks to the Hubbard Inn's totally adorable bartender, Travis. The Absolut Chicago Moscow Mule is a fun play on the traditional cocktail and would make the perfect addition to any holiday gathering (or a Mad Men themed party!). If you haven't already, you can pick up at bottle of the limited edition Absolut Chicago from Binny's or select Target locations (I recently found a few bottles at the Uptown Target)... it would also make a fantastic gift for your favorite Chicagoan (hint, hint!). ;-)
Absolut Chicago Moscow Mule
1.5 oz Absolut Chicago
1/2 oz lime juice (raw)
1/2 oz lemon juice (raw)
1/4 oz simple syrup

Minot State University got off to an emotional start on Saturday afternoon with their first home game and it being homecoming. The game started 10-0 on a few offensive miscues by the Yellow Jackets. After being down early the Yellow Jackets had trouble responding throughout the rest of the game. "We aren't a good enough team yet to spot somebody ten points. We got down early and we were really pressing in the second half trying to do everything individually instead of together as a team. We looked like a frustrated football team going in all directions Saturday" said Coach Scott. The Yellow Jackets would strike late with two touchdowns to make the final score 30-14 in favor of Minot State University.
Minot State kept the Yellow Jackets off balance on defense with a delayed running game. This took advantage of the Yellow Jackets being over aggressive. "It was really tough for our defense as Minot had great field possession all afternoon off 6 turnovers" added Coach Scott.
Offensively the Yellow Jackets ran four plays and were down 10-0. The Yellow Jackets running game didn't ever get going. Minot State brought more guys to the line to stop the run attack putting the pressure on the Yellow Jackets young quarterback. "We are still in a maturing process with only two seniors offensively. Drew never quit competing. He really scrambled well and moved around the pocket as he through for two touchdowns late in the game" said Coach Scott.
The Yellow Jackets will travel again this weekend to take on Dickinson State University at 1:30pm Mountain Standard Time. The following week the Yellow Jackets will return home for Swarm Days against rival South Dakota School of Mines.
Defensive Player of the Week
Tanner Tetrault SR Safety St. Onge, South Dakota

After throwing down at their recent Stage 48 show in NYC, Tortured Soul gave us their take on the evening and also offered us some bits on what's next!
Giant Step: Congratulations on a great night at Stage 48 in NYC earlier this month! What was your highlight of the evening?
John-Christian Urich: Well NYC is my home town (I was born and raised in Manhattan). With all the constant talk about how NYC isn't what it used to be, it was good to see that that isn't true if you know the right party to go to. Some old school heads are indeed still around holding down the fort, and coming out to get down on the dance floor (with many new I might add!) and support soulful house and live music.
Giant Step: How was it to share the stage with DJ Spinna? Each collaboration brings about a unique energy – anything in particular that moves you about this synergy?
John-Christian Urich: What is great about Spinna is that he approaches each production he's involved in as its own special creation. The remixes he has done with us start from scratch. He doesn't just throw a vocal over some pre-programmed beats and see what happens; he crafts a remix.
The same can be said about the music he chooses to play at a live show. What he decides to play for a Tortured Soul event is different than what he'll do for one of his other nights. He discussed with us beforehand what we were going to play, what tempo we wanted to start at and various other details, which helped to make the night a better collaboration for us, and a more special night for the audience.
Giant Step: Compared to all the other places you play, what makes NYC gigs special for you?
Jordan Scannella: NYC was the breeding ground for TS, so there's an obvious affinity for playing in one's hometown. On top of that, it's the hippest city in the world, with the most cultured, discerning audiences, so you have no choice but to bring it! But it goes both ways because when you're killing it, New York lets you know and the exchange that follows is what playing and seeing live music is all about.
Giant Step: It's been awhile since the last album – when we can expect the next one? What can folks expect?
Ethan White: Well we've just released our first new single, "Dirty," with a remix from our stage mate Spinna and some other great producers. We celebrated by letting folks download it for free, and there were several thousand downloads and some great reviews from that. We'll be releasing several more singles and a live EP this year, all leading up to a full-length album in the early Fall.
There are some changes with the new material, versus the previous releases. It's still solid songwriting from Christian and still soulful danceable grooves, but many of the tempos are slower and I think the overall vibe is a little poppier. We've also paid greater homage to our live sound on several of the tracks, which is what we'll be featuring on the advance EP. We're very excited about unveiling the new material to our fans!
Giant Step: What else has Tortured Soul got up its sleeves for 2013?
Ethan White: Touring, touring and more touring! The new music is opening new doors and garnering fans around the world. It's great to see how diverse the backgrounds of our fans are that are commenting on our Facebook page, and we hope to see each and every one of them this year.
Giant Step: If you describe the ideal party in 3 words, what would they be?
John-Christian Urich: Rhythm Sweaty Smiles
Ethan White: Tequila, Folks & Fun

Living in the Materia World
Item Enhancement in FFXIV:ARR
This guide is an overview of the Materia process. (If you have already read this, go to our advanced materia guide) Materia is a game system which ultimately produces customized, enhanced gear. This is a very intricate system, integrating elements of adventuring, gathering and crafting. Each aspect of the materia system becomes available when you have a class of the appropriate Disciplines reach level 19. Materia can be produced by others and traded, though, so you don't have to be able to do everything to be involved in Materia!
In the northern portions of Central Thanalan is a bonfire (near Black Brush). At that bonfire is a Goblin, Mutamix Bubblypots. Mutamix holds an important secret. A secret he'll only reveal to players following the central storyline. Fortunately, though, Mutamix has a bunch of associates who will spill the beans to any level 19 who happens by!
The Materia system is part of the customization process of the game. It is also part of the item sink element of the game. In the process of performing a materia enhancement, other items permanently leave the game economy. It is also part of an interdependent system, it is unlikely that most people will have classes of all three spheres to make/install materia, so people are likely to need to rely on each other to finish up their materia needs.
What is this Spiritbond thing?
It is quite likely that, over the course of your gameplay, you have seen one or more chat messages telling you that your gear is now spiritbonded with you. You can see a gear's state of spiritbond by hovering over the item and looking at the bottom of the detail window. As you can see in the image below, my Hempen Doublet Vest of Gathering is only 2% bonded to me at the moment. When an item reaches 100% spiritbond, it is eligible for conversion.
You can only convert an item once you, yourself, hit level 19 and talk to the NPC's at Mutamix's camp. Be warned, conversion is permanant and it destroys the spiritbonded item. In it's place you receive a random piece of materia. You convert a fully spiritbonded item by right clicking on the item and choosing "Convert" from the drop-down menu.
Materia is a crafting component used to enhance other pieces of gear. Materia provides benefits to all three spheres of gameplay (adventuring, crafting, and gathering) and the materia gained is typically affiliated with the type of gear converted.
In the image above, I have two Savage Might Materia pieces. Each one can be applied to a piece of equipment, and each one will add +1 Determination to that piece of equipment. I have seen materia for critical chance, accuray, parry, gathering, control and a wide variety of other materia item enhances. This particular piece of materia can be affixed to an item of level 15 or great item-level and it requires a Grade 1 Carbonized Matter to affix.
Any type of adventuring creates spiritbond with the gear currently equipped. Disciples of War and Discipes of Magic gain spiritbond with the gear they have equipped while fighting creatures. Disciples of the Land gain spiritbond while harvesting. Disciples of the Hand gain spiritbond while crafting.
Carbonized Matter – The Harvesting Component
On the materia item in the above image, we observed the need for a catalyst. Specifically, a Grade 1 Carbonized Matter. This is where the Disciples of the Land enter the mix as Botanists and Miners are the only two classes that can find the Carbonized Matter. Kokosamu, at Mutamix's camp provides instruction on finding catalysts.
Grade 1 Carbonized Matter can only be found on specific Tier-4 (level 20) harvesting nodes. For Miner's these are found in Middle La Noscea right near the Western La Noscea zoneline lies. There, you will find secondary node types (requiring use of your hammer). These nodes contain Grade 3 Dark Matter, Fire Shards, and Grade 1 Carbonized Material. I believe, but can not currently confirm that Botanists will find their nodes just north of Aleport in Western La Noscea.
The Carbonized Material is a level 20 harvest. You can not access this tier of node until you are a level 16 miner (or botanist at the respective location). It is, though, fairly difficult to "discover" the carbonized material at this level. I strongly recommend high gathering, use of a mining food like Apple Tarts, and use of the Sharp Vision III ability (+50% success chance for 300 gathering points) until you succeed at "discovering" the item.
Once discovered it is reasonably easy to harvest. Harvest quite a few, as you will consume one carbonized matter on each materia combine. There appears to be a relationship between the level of Carbonized Material and Dark Matter itself, we can expect to find higher tiers of Carbonized Matter as we progress through higher tiers of Dark Matter.
Affixing the Item: I Need a Crafter
To finish the materia process you need four equally important things:
- A piece of gear that can use materia
- A type of materia that you want to use
- A piece of Carbonized Matter
- A crafter of appropriate class and level
Once you have these four things, you are on your way.
Gear that can hold materia is found from item level 15 and up. You can tell a piece of gear is materia eligible if it has green circles under the "materia" heading of the detailed item tooltip (hover over the item). In the item below, you can see that this Bronze Cuirass has two materia slots open for materia.
It takes a crafter of the appropriate class to affix materia. For this cuirass, it would take an armorer of around level 19 to affix materia to it. The crafter begins the materia process by right clicking on the item and choosing "meld" from the drop down menu.
Choosing "Meld" brings you to the Materia Melding interface. This interface places eligible materia items on the left panel and eligible materia on the right panel. Choose an eligible item (dropdown list checks all of your armory tabs if needed) and a piece of materia. The popup resulting from this will tell you the type of crafter needed for the combine. In the example below, my armorer can easily affix this "Heaven's Eye Materia I" to a "Pair of Decorated Bronze Mitt Gauntlets."
Choosing "Meld" from this popup begins the materia affixation process. Once complete, one of the (formerly) empty green circles will be filled in with the materia stone used. These gauntlets now have a permanent +2 accuracy applied to them. It appears that affixing materia is permanent, once you place it, it is there forever.
The crafter does not appear to have a choice as to which slot is written to. Thus, it may not be possible to overwrite materia if you come across something better. I have attempted to try an overwrite and was met with a 'can't proceed, no available slots' type message. See Shea's comments in the next section regarding removing/replacing Materia.
Final Thoughts on Materia
If it turns out that there is no way to unslot, or overwrite, materia it will complicate end-game materia gearing. For leveling gear this isn't terribly important since you will blow through gear fairly quickly. Just put the best you can into the best you have and go forwards.
Shea, in comments below, addresses this concern!
A good guide, but yes you can remove materia. It is mentioned in the original learning about materia and they mention to come back at level 25 to learn it, I believe. Also there is a relationship to a cap on stats an item can have to its item level. So if you have a +3 acc and a +3 crit materia with a piece of gear that has +acc already you might want to put the +3 crit on it vice the +3 acc. Since you might only get +1 or 2 out of the +3 acc materia, but if you had a similiar piece of gear with a higher item level you might be able to get the full +3 acc.
Additionally there is the question of gear quality and materia. At present, only crafted gear can have materia affixed. This includes most quest gear as it's just the same as the crafted counterpart. However dungeon drop gear of both pink and green quality does not have materia affix slots. Dungeon gear does, though, soulbind and produces some very good materia.
Added: 30-Jun (Advanced Materia)
I'm doing some skimming on how advanced materia worked in FFXIV 1.0 and looking at how the lodestone describes materia today. If things go the way I suspect they will, materia will have a huge role in the end-game.
Once you hit level 25, continue on to our Advanced Materia guide.

Vhong Navarro's rape accuser and the prominent businessman involved in what now looks like a set-up of Navarro are the subjects of Department of Justice lookout orders. The Bureau of Immigration was ordered to be on lookout for a "possible departure" of Navarro's accusers, according to Entertainment Inquirer on Jan. 30.
Justice Secretary Leila De Lima was the one to pass down this order. which includes Deniece Cornejo, the 22-year-old girl who accused Navarro of trying to rape her, businessman Cedric Lee, who Navarro fingered as the ring leader. Lee's sister Bernice, Ferdinand Guerrero and Zimmer Rance were also included in this lookout order.
Vhong Navarro on video: Didn't have time for Deniece Cornejo's version says NBI
This order was issued at the request of the National Bureau of Investigation. De Lima ordered Immigration Chief Siegred Milson to:
"Promptly relay to the Office of the Secretary, this Department (DOJ), to the Office of the Prosecutor General [Claro Arellano] and to the National Bureau of Investigation any pertinent information, especially those tending to indicate that the subject individuals are attempting to leave the country, and in order to obtain updates as to the status of their case and other relevant information that may be the basis for the proper course of action to be taken by the immigration officer."
Vhong Navaro case: More holes in story as Deniece Cornejo, Cedric Lee speak out
This is quite the turnaround of events when only last weekend Cornejo was quoting the bible on her Facebook page suggesting that Navarro tell the truth. He was and continues to deny any sexual advance made toward Cornejo, who is accusing him of attempted rape.
When the NBI reviewed the CCTV video from her condo complex, where this rape supposedly took place, they found that the events seen in the video did not support her claims. They actually supported Navarro's claim that he was setup by Cornejo who attempted to extort money from him. As part of that extortion scheme, Navarro claims that the men in the video had beat him, which landed him in the hospital.
Vhong Navarro's rape case blown to pieces? Video from CCTV shows what happened
This Philippine celebrity said that during the beating he was ordered by these men to deposit $1 million in a bank account. They said if he didn't, that a video they had taken of the beating, in which they took off his shorts and sexually harassed him, would be given to the media.
Navarro said he decided to be brave and face these people face on. He told his side of the story to the media.

T.I. headed back to jail earlier this week to ride out an 11-month sentence, but the embattled MC didn't leave fans without an update on his music.
The Atlanta lyricist revealed in a video message to MTV's "The Seven," which aired Wednesday (November 3), that his upcoming LP will drop next month.
"My new album, entitled No Mercy, will be released on December 7," Tip said in a message taped before he turned himself in to the Forrest City federal facility in Arkansas on Monday. The MC also expressed his gratitude to fans who continued to support him through his ongoing troubles.
"I wanna give a shout-out to my fans for standing by me all this time," he said. "Without you, I'm nothing. You all make it all possible. I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart and you'll hear more from me soon. Hold it down until I get back to you."
Tip also introduced an exclusive snippet of the visual for his redemption song with his "Takers" co-star and much-maligned singer Chris Brown, titled "Get Back Up," in which the superstar rapper reflects on his previous slip-ups.
T.I. was sentenced to nearly a year in prison a few weeks ago after getting arrested in Los Angeles with his wife, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle , in September on drug possession charges. The incident was a violation of his probation stemming from a sentence for weapons charges handed down last year.
Cottle was also charged with misdemeanor drug possession in connection with the incident, and pleaded not guilty on Monday , the same day T.I. began his sentence.
Are you looking forward to T.I.'s album in December? Tell us in the comments!
Don't miss "The Seven" every weekday at 5 p.m. ET on MTV.

Model Town Ludhiana
In an age of glamour, glitz and glare with modelling being the in-thing, literary terms such as contents, form, style, design and trend are falling victim to consumerism and commercialism. If models on the ramp are coming up fast, models of cars are not far behind. But the model towns that we have in this part of the country are models as well as towns. And thereby hangs, not a tale, but a story, rather history of half a century!
When India became a British colony, cantonments appeared, giving rise to several types of lines. To differentiate army quarters, the Civil Lines were christened as such by way of necessity. While developing municipal functions, town and small town committees made progress. The first Model Town (near Lahore) appeared on the map as a kind of a modern township borrowing the best from the East and the West.
Hell looked like cold storage when compared to the fires of Partition. The migrants found temporary camps or shelters the local Jawahar Nagar (camp) remained a tent-settlement for a few years. Refugees and their rehabilitation posed a national challenge as serious as war. For the urban migrant middle class, a scheme of Model Towns was envisaged and executed with rare speed. Soon, there appeared kothi-like houses in Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Ludhiana, Khanna, Sonepat, Gurgaon, Rohtak, etc. Because of Jalandhar, being the functional summer capital of the state, because of the establishment of the Department of Relief and Rehabilitation, there its Model Town took the lead.
Ludhianas Model Town grew fast. To start with, it had plans for 250 units, about 240 were completed. The units were of four types, i.e., A, B, C and D to clarify the graded increase in the covered area. The cost of a unit ranged approximately from Rs. 12,000 to Rs 14,000. The cost of land was Rs 1,353 per kanal (500 sq. yards approximately). The per yard price of land was less than Rs 3 Do not be surprised. At the time of the first sale in the autumn of 1948 through public auction, the highest bid of (Rs 12,000) was made by Dr Gurbakhsh Singh, and drew the cheque upon the Imperial Bank of India (the predecessor of SBI). Mr N. Sehgal, ICS, Deputy Commissioner, was surprised when told that the doctor was a double refugee, who had migrated from Rangoon in 1942 and within five years left Sargodha and Lahore. About 10 bidders could offer about 20 per cent of the cost. Money was scarce. A thousand rupees then meant a fortune!
Slowly and steadily, the Model Town expanded. New plots were carved out and developed. The number of units increased to 642. A modern market (Gole Market) with 24 shops started working from August 5, 1950, when Sewa Ram opened his legendary sweet shop. Model Town grew in area several nagars, colonies, markets, etc. merged with it. The sprawling Model Town Extension as well as Model House evidently prove that expansion happened. Old residents sometime ponder upon the progress made. What is model about it?
Expansion is lateral. Model Town is indeed so in this respect. In academic terms, it beats several records. Its resident, Bhai Jodh Singh, was the founder Vice-Chancellor of the Punjabi University, whereas Prof B.S. Samundri was the same for GNDU, Amritsar. Almost the entire faculty of Punjab Agricultural College resided here. The scholars in the fields of literature, culture, language, science and research give it a solid academic face. Dr Sher Singh, Dr Trilochan Singh, Prof S. S. Sekhon, Dr V.B. Arun, Dr Piar Singh, Dr Goswami, Dr G.S. Bedi, Dr Hazara Singh and many more are assets to the academic world.
The founders of industrial houses Hero Cycles/Honda (Munjals), Avon, (Pahwas), Ralson (Pahwas), Bhogals of Metal Fabric and a dozen more carry a good international image. The present and ex-speaker of Punjab Assembly in addition to ministers and political heavy weights residing here lend it a political dimension. Being close to the bus stand, over-bridges and the railway station make it a central site.
Model Town has several educational institutions: Two post-graduate women colleges, a sprawling Gujjar Khan Campus, and a dozen schools, including well-established public schools. It has half-a-dozen banks and charitable hospitals, in addition to a score of nursing homes. It has the highest percentage of educated residents. Most of them carry professional degrees. A large number holds executive jobs.
It has many places of worship, some with big halls. Model Town Welfare Council is its oldest socio-cultural organisation, running a Public Library and a Community Centre, paralleling a marriage palace. It is currently developing public-parks.

chrisTwire.org and Cee Lo Green Team Up to Take Down Coachella
Last week two amazing things happened to forward the mission of the faithful.
One, millions of ticketholders did not attend Coachella as planned thanks to a record breaking investigative journalistic effort here on chrisTwire and over 26000 Facebook faithful.
Coachella headliner
Two, recording artist Cee Lo Green, former African basketball teammate of Charles Barkley, followed chrisTwire's lead, but instead of boycotting, he attended Coachella, and attempted to take it down from the inside at the opening ceremonies.
So much tribal rage
Yesterday, Cee Lo Green had a very special message for the organizers of the Coachella Music Festival. It began with "F" and ended with "You." The superstar was booted off stage and rallied his fans to a near riot. He was not pleased. The rapper screamed, pouted and demanded his fans flip the bird to Goldenvoice (the concert promoter). That didn't garner any good from the festival organizers and Cee Lo was unceremoniously booted. It's all my fault. Blame me," Cee Lo said sarcastically before storming off the stage to a symphony of boos from the crowd, leaving his band behind to play instruments that could no longer be heard in the audience.

The rising pool of unemployed workers in the Louisville, Kentucky area is beginning to shrink. This is good news for the ocean of job seekers standing in line at the unemployment office. On many given days, the line at the local Unemployment Office is at least 100 people long. However, there is good news on the horizon for Louisville workers. According to the Associated Press, Louisville is among the top 5 cities starting to see improvements in job availability. Some of the major corporations such as Humana, Kindred Healthcare, and Norton's Healthcare are among the hiring pool of employers. The healthcare industry is in need of quality trained staff due to aging baby boomers.
The leading industries in Louisville are educational, health and social services, manufacturing, arts & entertainment, recreation, and food services. Simply Hired, a Louisville job listings database, indicates that the following industries in Louisville are hiring the most workers; hospitals, catering services, food service contractors, clinics and outpatient services, outpatient surgery centers. This is a great place to start as the unemployment pool shrinks and job availability rises.
Louisville's early economy first developed through the shipping and cargo industries. Its strategic location at the Falls of the Ohio, as well as its unique position in the central United States make it an ideal location for the transfer of cargo along its route to other destinations. The Louisville and Portland Canal and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad were important links in water and rail transportation. Louisville's importance to the shipping industry continues today with the presence of the World port air hub for UPS, one of the city's corporate giants. Louisville's location at the crossroads of three major Interstate highways also contributes to its modern-day strategic importance to the shipping and cargo industry. Recently, Louisville has emerged as a major center for the health care and medical sciences industries. Louisville has been central to advancements in heart and hand surgery as well as cancer treatment. Some of the earliest artificial heart transplants were conducted in Louisville.
Louisville is also home to several major corporations and organizations:
Brown-Forman Corporation (Fortune 1000)
Hillerich & Bradsby (manufacturer of Louisville Slugger baseball bats)
Hilliard Lyons (investment firm)
Humana (Fortune 100)
Kindred Healthcare Incorporated (Fortune 500)
Norton Healthcare
Papa John's Pizza
PharMerica (Fortune 1000)
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
Republic Bank & Trust Company
SHPS (healthcare and human resources services company)
Stock Yards Bank & Trust
Texas Roadhouse
Thornton's Inc.
Yum! Brands (owners of KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell which were formerly Tricon Global Restaurants (a spin-off of PepsiCo) as well as Long John Silver's and A & W Restaurants which were formerly Yorkshire Global Restaurants) (Fortune 500)
ZirMed (health care technology company)
There are many resources available for unemployed workers who are waiting to find jobs. It's a good idea to use the time wisely by visiting local libraries and ensuring your resume writing and interviewing skills are sharp and fresh. The local libraries also have free access to computers with internet access. This is a great opportunity to use these resources to search job databases. And in the meantime while you're waiting for full-time employment, don't forget about temporary agencies that are always searching for quality workers to fill temporary positions of employees on sick leave, maternity leave, or family emergencies.

I stopped by Ralph's today,and from the moment I walked in I could see droves of people (mostly men) heading to the flowers and cards sections. Many of them (once again, mostly the men) had this determined, if not a bit angry, look on their faces. A look that practically screamed "Must buy the obligation. Must find and buy the obligation!" Not one of these people looked joyful about what they were doing, nor did I see love written across their faces.
Ah, the smell of Valentine's Day in the air - or is that desperation?
What is it about this day that drives us crazy? It's supposed to be the day we show our love, but instead it seems like the day most people feel they have to prove their love, or else! It needn't be that way. In fact, I'd wager that all parties involved would prefer it if is wasn't.
So, to help take some of the stress out of what should be a lite-hearted, fun holiday, here are some gift and activity ideas to help get you through the weekend. All are affordable, and there is definitely a green theme to the list. Happy Valentine's Day everyone.
- Flowers: These need not be super expensive, nor do they need to be a whole garden's worth. What variety you get should depend on who you're giving them to, but you should always try to get locally grown (it will say California on the wrapper somewhere), and if possible organic or fair-trade as well. Many local stores are currently having sales on their flowers, many of which fit the above description. Just as a thought, you may even want to consider the power of the single rose, which is delivered in person :) I'm just saying...
- Candy: Although there are many options out there that are organic, fair-trade, and preservative free; sadly I can't in good conscience recommend any one brand that is easily obtained without special ordering them. I wish I could, but I can't. So, instead I recommend buying only what you need. Giant heart shaped boxes seem great in the store, but remember that a) it's going to be in the high 80's on V-Day, and b) giant boxes of candy mean lots of calories sitting around tempting people. Instead of going big, go better, and get a smaller box of high quality chocolates from somewhere like See's, filled with only the pieces she/he likes. It'll be a more personalized gift, and it won't temp anyone completely off their diet.
- Gifts: Not all gifts have to be expensive. As long as they're from the heart, they can still mean a lot. Don't automatically go for the obvious, but take a moment to think it out first. Would a $40 candle set be better than a $10 gift card to the coffee shop your significant other frequents (hint: candles suck, so no they would not). Also, remember any allergies that might exist, as that great new perfume might cause you to spend your V-Day in the ER. Making something yourself might still be an option,despite the late date. Check out the attached video for some ideas on what might still be possible. The Center for Biological Diversity is offering free ringtones of animal mating calls, if that's something that might work for your love, so keep an open mind when selecting a gift.
- The Card: If you opt for a traditional paper card, then make sure it matches the personality of the one you're giving it to. No butt jokes will ever be funny enough to be on a Valentine's day card, so skip those every time. Many companies are offering free e-cards this year, so you might want to opt for one of those instead. Especially if the recipient lives far away, this will ensure that they actually get the card on time One conservation group has put together some Valentine's day e-card options that promote love and saving endangered species, the perfect combination for those of us who care about the world around us. Check out the website for the selection (caution: some of spicy)
- Activities: This year you have an entire weekend to carry out Valentine's plans. Take advantage of that and explore your options for spending time together. a) Take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather (can you say "hello global warming?") and enjoy a picnic together on the beach, or at a park. No reservations required. b) Involve the whole family, and stop by your local Barnes and Noble. The kids can enjoy the special Valentine's Day story time on Saturday, while you enjoy some quiet time in the cafe with your special someone. Call your local store for start times. c) Armstrong Garden Center will be hosting a free class on how to start summer veggies from seed on Saturday morning. If you and your sweety enjoy gardening, or are looking for a new couple's hobby, the experts there can help to get you on started. d) Explore your creative side by painting a pot or two at Painted Earth. e.) Relax at home, and enjoy each other's company. Sometimes the nicest time you spend with someone is when aren't doing anything at all, except being in each other's company.

Tlacolula de Matamoros, Oaxaca, Mexico
Despite the heat in the afternoon, we decided to visit the farmers market in Tlacolula. Located 45 minutes outside of Oaxaca City. I'm so glad we made it to the market. The market is a meeting place for locals from the surrounding pueblos (towns) to sell their goods. There were hundreds of vendors so we walked around and saw tons of carts selling chiles, nuts, raisins, meats, spices and more. All the ingredients necessary to make a yummy mole sauce. One of the vendors, a small Oaxacan lady was preparing her fresh masa. She then began pinching the outer part of the tortilla, then added manteca, black beans, quesillo and salsa pasilla. It was delicious!

Old RNA in New Bottles?
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals and Isis Pharmaceuticals — two emerging powerhouses in the small but hot field of RNA interference — said today they're launching a joint venture called Regulus to develop drugs.
Prominently mentioned in their press release is the fact that they've brought in a big name, CalTech Nobel laureate David Baltimore, to sit on the board and chair a scientific advisory group. The announcement doesn't say as much about the companies' history of collaborating on microRNA, the technology Regulus aims to exploit.
MicroRNA occurs naturally in all human cells and affects how genes are turned off and on. It's one of two kinds of RNA involved in RNA interference — the other, siRNA, has been the focus of much of the industry research.
In 2004, according to Alnylam's Web site, Alynlam and Isis jointly licensed "certain core intellectual property relating to all therapeutic uses of microRNA" from the Max Planck Society. (Thomas Tuschl, the scientist who developed that intellectual property, will also be on Regulus's advisory board.) And earlier this year, the companies put out this press release, noting that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office had allowed the companies' miRNA patent claims. Maybe that's what they were waiting for to launch Regulus.
Isis CEO Stanley Crooke told the New York Times: "This is the first time I've seen a biological advance as broad as this where the intellectual property is as concentrated in a single company as with Regulus."

Still An Incredible Story
One hundred and eighty-five years ago next month, on August 12, 1819, the whaler Essex sailed out of Nantucket on one of those multi-year whaling voyages of the old days. More than a year later, on November 22, 1820, she became one of New England's most bizarre and, to my mind, intriguing legends. Yes, on that long-ago day she was rammed and sunk by a huge bull whale, a historical event well noted by Herman Melville's Moby Dick, written 30 years later. But for a good hundred years afterward, the gruesome aftermath was pretty well hushed up.
I could be wrong but as far as I know, YANKEE Magazine's graphic account of the entire episode in the November 1960 issue was the first truly detailed description of what happened during the three months the Essex crew drifted about the Pacific in lifeboats before eight of the original 20 were rescued. As we all know now, they survived on cannibalism. In fact, a member of the prominent Nantucket Coffin family (of the Jared Coffin House fame), one Owen Coffin, was one of the victims. Poor Owen, then a young cabin boy, lost a drawing and then very willingly and bravely allowed himself to be shot by crewman Charles Ramsdell, after which his body was shared by the others. These details are only vaguely referred to in the 19th-century descriptions I've read, and the survivors were understandably reluctant to discuss it. For instance, there is the story of the Nantucket lady who asked a survivor's daughter about the vessel. "Miss Mollie," she was told, "here we never mention the Essex."
The captain of the Essex, George Pollard, one of the survivors, went to sea again, was wrecked again (but not by a whale), drifted for days in an open boat again, but did not resort to cannibalism. He wound up being rescued on an island near Tahiti and there, for the first time, divulged some of the Essex details to two missionaries. But in the meantime, because of the whisperings of those close to the survivors, a full-blown New England legend was already entrenched.
In his old age, Captain Pollard became a fire-watcher on Nantucket and old-time islanders relating the story today say his mind slipped a little. A reporter from Boston once asked him, shortly before died, if he could remember Samuel Reed, who had been in one of the Essex lifeboats.
"Remember him?" the old captain is said to have replied. "Hell, son, I ate him!"

Ridgefield Democrat Joe Tanner has earned endorsements from two of Clark County's largest trade organizations.
Tanner will face Clark County Commissioner Tom Mielke, a Battle Ground Republican seeking his second term, in the Nov. 6 election.
Neither the Building Industry Association of Clark County nor the Clark County Association of Realtors took a position in the race before the Aug. 7 primary.
Both groups also are backing Clark County Commissioner Marc Boldt, a Hockinson Republican seeking his third term. They endorsed Boldt, who faces Vancouver Republican David Madore, before the primary election.
Vicki Glasow, president of the Realtors group, issued a statement that said Boldt and Tanner "have a keen understanding of the many complex issues facing our growing community, and more specifically the issues facing our real estate industry. Commissioner Boldt has consistently demonstrated a pro-business philosophy in opposing fee hikes and taxes on business and citizens while serving on the Clark County Board of Commissioners. Mr Tanner has been a leader in economic development with service to our community that spans more than three decades. As commissioners, these candidates have the vitality to lead the charge to improve the business climate in Clark County," she said.
Avaly Mobbs, executive director of the Building Industry Association of Clark County, earlier cited what she called Boldt's proven leadership, his deserved reputation as a coalition-builder and his strong advocacy for the building industry.
Mobbs said the BIA's Board of Directors voted Tuesday to endorse Tanner.
She said the board endorsed Tanner because he's a business-friendly candidate who has demonstrated history, as a former state lawmaker and founding president of the Columbia River Economic Development Council, of creating jobs while bringing fresh ideas and energy to the table.
"Tanner will be more than just a vote, he'll be an active advocate for Clark County," Mobbs said.
Mielke also served as a state lawmaker before becoming a commissioner.
The BIA board also voted Tuesday to endorse Julia Anderson, a candidate for Clark Public Utilities Commissioner District 1.
The Realtors, however, have endorsed Jim Malinowski for the nonpartisan utility board position.
The Clark County Association of Realtors has 1,318 members.
The BIA of Clark County has 550 members, representing more than 10,000 workers.
In legislative races, in the 17th District, Realtors endorsed State Sen. Don Benton, State Rep. Paul Harris and Julie Olson, a candidate for state representative. In the 18th District, the Realtors endorsed State Sen. Ann Rivers and Brandon Vick and Liz Pike, candidates for state representative positions 1 and 2, respectively.
In the 49th District, the Realtors endorsed Eileen Qutub, a candidate for state senator, State Rep. Jim Moeller and State Rep. Sharon Wylie.
All of the endorsed legislative candidates are Republicans with the exception of Moeller and Wylie.
