What do you do if you find a giant hive of bees? Is there standing water on a nearby lot that is attracting mosquitoes? To solve these issues just call L A County Vector Control! So of course you ask… what the H-E- Double Hockey Sticks is a VECTOR?
A vector is any arthropod, insect, rodent or other animal of public health significance capable of harboring or transmitting the causative agents of human disease (e.g. malaria, plague) to humans. Under certain circumstances, insects or other arthropods that cause human discomfort or injury, but not disease, are sometimes referred to as vectors.
Why does vector control exist? Mosquitoes, for instance, are responsible for more human deaths than any other living creature. World-wide, nearly 4 million people die each year from various mosquito-borne diseases. Vector Control is down at our local beaches, by the bathrooms, showers, water fountains and other areas where mosquitoes may gather all the times, protecting us from various possible disease outbreaks. Nothing ruins a day at the beach like West Nile Virus, which originated in the 1930's and took decades to migrate to the United States. With international travel and changing natural animal habitats, diseases roam the planet and Vector Control keeps tabs on all of it, and protects our community.

LAREDO, TEXAS (CBP) - U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Laredo Port of Entry this week apprehended a Plano man wanted in Greenville County, Texas in connection with an outstanding warrant for homicide.
"CBP officers working primary inspection duties are our front line of defense and this week they discovered a man with an outstanding homicide warrant," said Joseph Misenhelter, Port Director, Laredo. "Their alertness, vigilance and commitment to the CBP mission with apprehensions like these help keep our community safe."
The fugitive apprehension occurred on Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2014 at the Gateway to the Americas Bridge during an examination of a 2007 Ford F-150 pickup arriving from Mexico. A CBP officer at primary inspection referred vehicle passenger Flavio Cesar Segura, 19, a U.S. citizen from Plano, Texas for a secondary examination. During the examination, CBP officers verified Segura's identity, citizenship and confirmed he was wanted on an outstanding state warrant from the Greenville County Sheriff's Office for homicide. After confirming the warrant was active, CBP officers transported Segura to Webb County jail and turned him over to Webb County sheriff's deputies for adjudication of the warrant.
CBP's Laredo Port of Entry is part of the South Texas Campaign, which leverages federal, state and local resources to combat transnational criminal organizations.

I got out to my favorite creek on the outskirts of Hudson, NY, last weekend for the first time this season.
At the end of the afternoon some young boys came by to jump off the
bridge and swing from the rope like Tarzan.
The temperature was about 75 degrees but the water was cold!
They did not care nor feel it.
They were just in the moment having lots of fun.

Should you ever fold aces?
A recent post in the PITR forums had a guy asking about folding QQ on the bubble of a traditional SNG (sit-and-go) with a very short stack, and where the big stack had raised in front of him and he would almost certainly make the money. This reminded me of a thread I've seen pop up far too often in almost every poker forum I've been to: is it ever right to fold aces? Usually this comes in the form of a question like "If you get AA on the first hand of the $10,000 buy-in World Series of Poker Main Event, would you go all in preflop?" or some variant where everyone goes all in before you or some such.
Even if people don't fully understand the concept of chip equity versus money equity, by asking questions like this they implicitly are aware of it. Of course in a cash game it's always correct to get in preflop with AA. You're always ahead and you will never lose money in the long term doing this. However in some situations in sit-and-gos and tournaments it can be correct to fold, almost always in situations where there is a flat payout structure such as double-or-nothing sit-and-gos which have popped up in the past few months on PokerStars as well as Cake Poker, and in satellite tournaments where the top X finishers all get an entry to a higher buy-in tournament.
Consider a DON (double-or-nothing) SNG that started with 10 players and is now down to 6. The top 5 all get the same prize: 20% of the prize pool. Consider the following situation:
UTG: 4000 chips (goes all-in)
UTG+1: 4000 chips
CO: 4000 chips
BTN: 4000 chips (our position)
SB: 101 chips
BB: 201 chips
Blinds are 100/200, and UTG has shoved. We are on the button with AA and should fold without a second thought. Even against a hand such as 23o, we will lose 11% of the time. It is not worth risking it when one of the blinds is certainly going to be busted soon. If we call here, the big blind, even though he would only have 1 chip left behind, would be correct to fold. This is because it is almost certain that one of the 4000 stacks (UTG or us) will bust and he need not risk busting out at the same time.
Now let's consider a situation on a standard SNG bubble:
CO: 2500 chips (goes all-in)
BTN: 2500 chips (our position)
SB: 200 chips
BB: 300 chips
Blinds are at 100/200. In this case calling with AA is correct. Even though we will get beat part of the time, the majority of the time we will win and have a 5000 chip stack going into the money, virtually guaranteeing first place which is worth a lot more than 2nd or 3rd place. We can't go nuts here and call with hands like KQ, though. Even though KQ is strong hand, we aren't ahead of a hand with an ace in it and against most pairs we are slightly behind in a coinflip situation.
Any time there is a payout structure in which 1st place gets more than 2nd, 2nd gets more than 3rd, etc., it's usually correct to get in with AA.
There's another subject to discuss here as well — the utility of money. That is, say you feel you absolutely must cash in a sit-and-go because the difference between having 20% of the prize pool (3rd place) and 0% of the prize pool (4th place), is more to you than the difference between having 50% of the prize pool (1st place) and having 20% of the prize pool (3rd place). If this situation happens usually you are not playing within your bankroll or the value of the money is influencing your decision causing you to not play to win.
We've seen situations like this in recent final tables of the World Series of Poker, including this year's where Kelly Kim nursed his short stack while Craig Marquis, with a larger stack, gladly got in a coinflip situation and lost. A similar situation happened in 2006 where Paul Wasicka folded an open ended straight flush draw. To these players the value of the next $400,000 or $2,000,000 respectively was worth more than playing to get the top prize.
Of course if you had the choice between taking $5,000,000 or a box which contains either $0 or $20,000,000 (so an expected value of $10,000,000) you would probably take the $5,000,000 sure thing because the value of the first $5,000,000 to you is worth more than the value of the second $5,000,000. This is the utility of money.
For more information on mathematically calculating the value of your chip stack check out this page which has a brief description of independent chip modeling (ICM) as well as an ICM calculator.

Richard Porter of Beatles In London.com, who came to New York for the Beatles 50th anniversary events and the Fest for Beatles Fans, told Beatles Examiner Feb. 14 when he and fellow Beatles tour guides Jackie Spencer from Liverpool and Susan Ryan from New York got together for a tour of Beatles sites in New York City something very unusual happened.
"We started out at the Dakota. Even though I had been there years before, it was every emotional seeing where John lived and died. We then went to Central Park and Strawberry Field, the special area to commemorate John. After a very nice stroll through Central Park we came to the Plaza Hotel, where, of course, the Beatles stayed 50 years ago.
"While we were outside the Plaza, a white feather fell on me, and was caught by Jackie. Julian Lennon once said 'Dad once said to me that should he pass away, if there was some way of letting me know he was going to be OK – that we were all going to be OK – the message would come to me in the form of a white feather.'"
Porter says that at the sight of the feather, "We all got rather emotional...."
"The feather flew right past my face, landed on Richard, and then into Jackie's hand," said Susan Ryan. "There were over 40 witnesses -- and being Beatles fans all, they ALL knew what it meant!"
The tour was the first time the three guides had been together in the same place, he says.

Andy Crow tribute slide show (Oct. 24, 2015) - 21MB
Andy Crow is well known throughout the Northwest as a top-notch musician, equally
at home on the organ and piano. Rich harmonies and creative arrangements have been
a hallmark of Andy's style.
Andy has played organ since age ten, at which time his teacher told him "he would never
learn, never paid attention!" He later attained a Bachelor of Music degree from the
University of Redlands and a Master of Music Education from the University of Southern
California. He has played for radio, TV, churches, banquets, skating rinks, orchestras,
bands and for many stage shows.
Andy at the Haller Lake Community Club organ, December 1999
During his college years Andy was organist and choirmaster at a large church in Colton,
California. It was his stint in the Army Medical Corps that brought him to the Northwest,
where he played at 5 chapels, and practiced at the Music Box, Roxy and Temple Theatres
in Tacoma, and the Orpheum and Paramount in Seattle.
Andy playing at Tacoma's Pizza & Pipes
For 10 years he traveled extensively with Ted Alan Worth, performing as the Worth-Crow
Duo, playing a total of 366 concerts using Rodgers touring organs.
Andy is a regular at Tacoma Pizza & Pipes, teaches organ,
and is a church organist. At one time, he owned two theatres in Olympia including the
Capitol Theatre. Andy was instrumental in the installation of the large Wurlitzer
pipe organ in the Washington Center for the Performing Arts
in Olympia.
On one time, Andy was employed by the Rodgers Organ Company to promote their line of electronic theatre organs. This ad appeared on the back cover of Theatre Organ magazine in Fall 1964

Hypertension studies... not really that "DRAMATIC"
There seems to be this looming black cloud over everything I read about high blood pressure... im beginning to think more for myself and not be skewed so much by studies paid for primarily by pharmaceutical companies.
Many of the studies I have seen show reductions in all-cause mortality and cardiovascular complications by about 40%, the incidence of heart attack is even less at 25%. This is WITH treatment. Even if lets say all-cause mortality was reduced by 80% the benefits remain fairly vague.
Let's say 15/500 men on treatment for hypertension died of cardiovascular disease, without hypertensive treatment that risk would climb to a whopping "wait for it" 19/500 men who died of cardiovascular disease. What we are doing here is essentially treating something that is already of infitesimal risk to begin with. Yes hypertension isn't good for you, yes we should definitely treat it.
Even if the risk was 100% greater for people not taking any drugs whatsoever well then we would have 18/500 dying instead of 9/500 again, is a lifetime of side-effects really worth it?
But can we at least partially agree that many of these studies are skewed and use words like "Dramatic" and "Substantial" to describe reducing an already fairly low risk without other risk factors?
Just food for thought.

Online Learning & Higher Education: Made for each other !?!?
By Mohit Phogat on Sep 05, 2013
A lot of education industry today is focussed & devoted to the topics of online learning, MOOC's, Coursera, Udacity, edX, etc., and some might think that the education equivalent of the cure for cancer had been discovered. There are certainly doubts to people who feel that this could damage something very vital to teaching and learning - the core of higher education; the classroom experience and direct interaction with students. But for the most part prevailing opinion seems to be that online learning will take over the world and that higher education will never be the same.
Now I'm sure that since you all know I work for a technology company you think I'm going to come down hard on the side of online learning catalysts. Yes, I do believe that this revolution can and will provide access to massive numbers of individuals that either couldn't afford a traditional education, and that in some cases the online modality will actually be an improvement over certain traditional forms (such as courses taught by an adjunct or teaching assistant that has no business being a teacher).
But I think several things need immediate attention or we're likely to get so caught up in the delivery that we miss some of the real issues (and opportunities) around online learning. First and foremost, we've got to give some thought to how traditional information systems are going to accommodate thousands (possibly hundreds of thousands) of individual students each taking courses from many, many different "deliverers" with an expectation that successful completion of these courses will result in credit at many or most institutions. There's also a huge opportunity to refine the delivery platform (no, LMS is not a commodity when you are talking about online delivery being your sole mode of operation) as well as the course itself by mining all kinds of data from the interactions that the students have with the material each time they take it. Social data analytics tools will be key in achieving this goal. What about accreditation (badging or competencies vs. traditional degrees)? And again, will the information systems in place today adapt to changes in this area fast enough?
The type of scale that this shift in learning could drive has the potential to abruptly overwhelm just about every system in place today in higher education - indicating one of the may inflection points this industry is facing. Infact, ever since I took my current role in Oracle, as an industry lead, I critically feel that automation and online learning are two vehicles that need to be adopted by higher education fraternity sooner or later; infact sooner the better.
I recently came across an article [1] where one Prof. Mitchell Duneier became a conscientious objector to MOOC as he was worred that his massive open online courses (MOOCs) might lead to legislators cut state-university funds/budgets; and hence he pulled out of the environment.
What does this relate to? Does it point to potential sustainability issues for the companies that champion MOOCs and the institutions that hope to rely on them. What happens when instructors decide to stop teaching their MOOCs, either because of ideological concerns or simply because offering a class to the whole world takes so much work? There are so many questions that are raised, and so many answers that each one of them may carry.
Atleast for now, we must acknowledge that MOOCs and other online teaching methodologies have not 'fully' come of age, and that the adoption still need to be tested in multiple ways.

Mrs Dalloway
by Virginia Woolf
Mrs Dalloway Section 2 Summary
- Returning home, Clarissa is greeted by Lucy, the maid. She feels like a nun returning to the cloister, but still Clarissa feels the power of the moment. She feels blessed (though she doesn't believe in God, by the way) and is very thankful for servants and for Richard.
- Lucy announces that Mr Dalloway is out to lunch at Lady Bruton's house. Clarissa is hurt that she wasn't invited along because Millicent's lunches are known for being amusing. The moment suddenly feels empty.
- Clarissa goes upstairs to her room in the attic. She feels let down, old, shriveled.
- Her bed is narrow (like a nun's). She feels sexless, like a virgin; in fact, since her illness, she has slept alone.
- She feels like she's disappointed Richard sexually. Women have always charmed her – she has felt momentary attractions to them, which she compares to a "match burning in a crocus" (2.11). (By the way, crocuses are much lovelier than they sound.)
- Clarissa thinks of the past and of Sally Seton. Had she been in love with Sally? She remembers her as being beautiful and free-spirited.
- Sally once got in a fight with her family, and then pawned a brooch to get money to visit Clarissa at Bourton. Sally showed Clarissa that there was life outside her social circle; she made Clarissa feel free. And Aunt Helena sure didn't approve. Sally shocked Clarissa's family with her manners and behavior.
- The feelings Clarissa had for Sally were unlike anything else. The two women had a special bond and they swore they would never marry. To be with Sally was to be absolutely fulfilled.
- One night Sally and Clarissa were walking in the garden, and Sally kissed her right on the lips. "The whole world might have turned upside down!" (1.16). It was the perfect moment – until Peter interrupted them. Peter had a way of ruining things. He was determined to get in the way and always criticized things as "sentimental."
- Back in the present moment, Clarissa finds the dress she'll wear to her party that night. It has a rip, which she decides to repair herself; the maids are too busy getting things ready.
- Clarissa flits about the house, giving instructions to Lucy. She has just begun to mend the dress when the doorbell rings. It is Peter Walsh, who insists on coming in.
- He thinks she looks older and she thinks he's about the same. Peter plays with his pen-knife (some things never change).
- Peter compares his life to hers: he's been in India while she has been here in London married to Richard. Clarissa wields her scissors as she speaks and she teases him that she won't invite him to her party.
- The two of them remember being at Bourton. Clarissa's father, Justin Parry, never liked Peter. Clarissa adds that he never liked any of her friends (especially those who wanted to marry her).
- Sadly, Clarissa never visits Bourton anymore.
- Peter wonders if he should tell Clarissa about Daisy. Compared to Clarissa with her parties and conservative husband, Peter thinks Daisy would seem plain.
- He assumes Richard and Clarissa think he's a failure. His life has involved travel, adventure, love affairs, and work, while hers has been about social engagements and parties. (Apparently parties are an indicator of success!)
- Peter is eager to give the impression that he has had an extraordinary career and that now he's completely in love with Daisy.
- It must be a younger woman, thinks Clarissa. And in fact, Peter confesses that Daisy is, in fact, married to a major in the Indian army and has two children. Scandalous! He has come to London to see about arranging her divorce.
- Clarissa thinks he's a fool, always involved in some romantic nonsense.
- Peter suddenly bursts into tears. Richard would never show this much emotion. Speaking of Richard, he's still off lunching with Lady Bruton not realizing that his wife is fraternizing with a guy who wanted to marry her. Oh well.
- Clarissa comforts Peter, and he asks her if she's happy being married to Richard.
- Clarissa's daughter enters the room, interrupting the moment. Peter gets out of there pretty quickly, as Clarissa shouts after him to come to her party that night.

Own a Piece of History in The Bahamas' Eleuthera
"Mostly sea, always summer" is how English travel writer and explorer, Rosita Forbes, described the home she built in 1940.
Known as Unicorn Cay, this 7,000-square-foot chateau combines Old World charm and modern functionality, while taking full advantage of Eleuthera's natural beauty. It is nestled on 11.7 acres of breathtaking views, lush foliage and 300 feet of pristine beach frontage, just southeast of the historic village and airport of Governor's Harbour.
Beautifully maintained and remodeled, the home — listed at $4.75 million — borrows elements such as a large courtyard and turrets from the renowned Châteaux of the Loire Valley. Inside, the 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath floor plan boasts an English Country style that is light and airy, with original hardwood floors and tile work, crown molding and high-end mahogany furniture. Additional features of the main home include a sumptuous master suite with bath, a TV room and office, a living room with bar and a chef's dream kitchen with modern appliances and granite countertops. Unwind or entertain visiting family and friends outside by the heated pool, Jacuzzi, grilling area and spacious courtyard with a circular balcony overlooking the sea.

This really happened and continues to happen in all seas and oceans of the world, including the Carribbean Sea! There is even a website to check out daily attempts at piracy worldwide: http://www.icc-ccs.org/prc/piracyreport.php
12ga shotgun vs. 2 boats of Pirates
The Highroad ^ | March 11, 2005 | Rodney J. Nowlin, USN Retire
"We are safe in port of Aden. It's been 3 days repairing the damage. 30 bullets holes in deck, cabin house, dodger, and alas, newly varnished mast. Our bow shows evidence of a satisfying crunch. Our new paint job was not meant to be. Dinghy on deck was seriously wounded but in stable condition, much repatched. No wine was hurt.
This is the official report filed with the Yemen Coast Guard, Yemen Navy, Aden Port Control, US Coalition 5th Fleet, US Embassy and State Department? but not Carol's mother. Unfortunately, the poor guy that shoots has to write up the paper work. The one that rams does not engender any paper-work, except sand paper work.
March 11, 2005, written by Rodney J. Nowlin, USN Retired Pirate Attack off Yemen Coast
On Tuesday, March 8, 2005 at position 13 Degrees 28 North / 49 Degrees 07 East, in the infamous Pirate Alley of the Gulf of Aden, two sailing yachts, Madhi and Gandalf, were moving SW 30 miles off the coast of Yemen proceeding to the port of Aden from Salalah, Oman.
At about 0900 local, two outboard powered fiberglass longboats, about 20 feet long, each containing 3 men, passed off our sterns moving south at about 25 knots into the open Gulf between Yemen and Somalia. An hour later they returned, one coming quite close and looking us over carefully. The second boat passed off our bows but quite a ways away. These boats were obviously not engaged in a normal activity like fishing. At that time we were south of Al Mukalla, Yemen. The area around Al Mukalla is well documented as being a piracy, drug & people smuggling problem area and we maintained a careful watch for anything out of the ordinary.
At about 1600 we observed two different boats approaching us head on from the west with the glare of the sunset in our eyes. These were 25-30 feet long, had inboard diesel engines and higher freeboard. We immediately motored closer together. As soon as they saw us close ranks they started coming very fast directly at us. There were 4 men in each boat. They separated at about 200 yards with one boat coming down Madhis port side, shouting and firing into the cockpit. The other boat, firing automatic weapons came at Gandalf. There were no warning shots. Carol on Gandalf began sending Maydays on every frequency.
The first boat swung around behind Mahdis stern to come up and board us. At that point, I , Rod Nowlin aboard Mahdi and armed with a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with 00 buckshot, started shooting into their boat. I forced them to keep their heads down so they could not shoot at us. I am not sure I hit anyone at that point. I could see the driver of the boat crouched down behind the steering console. After firing three shots at them, their engine started to smoke and I swung around to try to shoot at the second boat ahead. At that point I saw Jay Barry on Gandalf ram the second boat amidships almost cutting it in two and turning it almost completely over. I turned back around to shoot at the boat still behind Mahdi. That was when they turned away from Mahdi and headed toward the stern of Gandalf. Gandalf was beside us about 100 feet away. The bow of the pirate boat came right up against Gandalfs stern and two men stood up on the bow with guns to board Gandalf. That was a serious and probably fateful error on their part. I shot both of them. That boat then veered away and I shot the driver, although I am not sure of the outcome because they were farther away and I didnt knock him down like the other two trying to board Gandalf.
Mahdi & Gandalf kept going at full speed to put as much distance between the pirates and us as possible. As soon as we were out of rifle range, we looked back and both attack boats were drifting and seemed to be disabled.
A merchant ship nearby finally answered our Mayday and diverted course to position itself between the floundering pirates and the fleeing yachts. They said they would contact the authorities by Sat phone and then sailed alongside us for 4 hours after dark to make sure we would be all right. Best speed was made to the Port of Aden 180 miles away.
If Jay on Gandalf had not had the presence of mind to veer over into one boat and ram it, the outcome of this attack would have been totally different. All the guys needed to do was stand off a ways and shoot us to pieces with automatic weapons. We were extremely lucky. We broadcast Mayday calls on VHF 16 and all HF radio frequencies, including two HF frequencies that were supplied by the US Coast Guard near Oman only a few days before. Frequencies which the Coalition Forces Warships in this area were supposed to be monitoring. There was no response. The pirates were well organized and well armed. There were at least 4 boats involved. They had set up a picket line out from the Yemen coast probably covering 75 miles out, so if you transited the area during the day they would not miss seeing you. The two attack boats appeared to have come from the south before positioning themselves ahead of us in the sunset.
There has been speculation in the past that this ongoing piracy problem off Yemens coast was being carried out by Somali pirates. Given the number, the types of boats involved, and the direction the supposed spotter boats were coming from, this does not appear to be the case. The men in the attack boats looked both African and Arab.
There was no evidence that this was a people smuggling operation. There were no men, women or children cowering in the boats. These were not fishing boats with nets or overhead sun protection. They appeared to be purpose-built boats, 25-30 feet long, with wooden splines or poles fashioned above the gunwales to which a plastic tarp or shield was hung chest high for the men to hide behind after shooting. The problem is getting worse and the pirate attacks are getting deadly. One could only expect that the Yemen Government will take more direct action At very least, allow yachts to group in Salalah, Oman and at some point along the NW Yemen coast request an escort until Aden or the Straits.
Rodney J. Nowlin, USN Retire March 11, 2005
EXSOLDIER762 again: Okay I don't know how many of you folks are into the motorboating or sailing life, but I for one, grew up sailing the Bahamas from here in South Florida. There have been more than a few times when friends or "acquaintenances" have asked me along on a bluewater voyage, just so I'd bring an AR15 and several ultra high caps to complement the onboard shotguns. I wrote an article for the old AMERICAN SURVIVAL GUIDE (now defunct) on this. At sea, you can't hide, you can't call 911 and there is damn little "cover" to be had. Most fiberglass boats are not in the least bullet resistant. What do you do?

At The Crafted Sparrow, Rebecca was in the process of giving her craft room a makeover, so she saved tin cans to help her organize supplies. She had planned on painting them, but came up with an even better idea!
Having heard about the much-coveted (and inexpensive) washi tape at Target, Rebecca bought some to see for herself if it was worth the hype. So instead of painting her tin cans, she decided to give the washi tape a chance. "I had the need to try it out, and I really like it. It's a really quick way to add a pop of color to things," Rebecca exclaimed. The process was pretty simple, she just wrapped the tape around the cans, varying the coordinating patterns of tape. But what stunning results! I love the pop of color and sophistication the washi tape adds to plain old tin cans!
Visit The Crafted Sparrow to learn more about Rebecca's beautiful new craft supply holders.

- Company: Thomas Pink
- Price: $139
- Official Site: ThomasPink.com
- Release Date: 2008 Spring/Summer
For any environment or occasion for which you need to look presentable, but not overdressed, this check-patterned dress shirt from Thomas Pink is a sensible choice. It has a classic fit that's not overly snug, so although you should think twice about breaking it out if you're headed to a hip club, it's totally work-worthy. And for those times when you need to make more of a splash at the office, the shirt's pattern is basic enough to be paired with a bold tie without experiencing a mini-crisis about whether or not you can mix two prints together.
The unique features of this garment center primarily around its superior cut and fit compared to an average dress shirt. Designed to flatter virtually every body type, this dress shirt would be a welcome addition to most men's closets with its ability to blend seamlessly with your existing wardrobe. And while the pattern may not be the most attention-grabbing one you've ever seen, it's a great stand-in for those days when you're bored with your white button-down, particularly as blue is a color many people find appealing.
Expect nothing less than the best when it comes to garments from Thomas Pink. The company is renowned for using high-quality cotton for its dress shirts so you should get years of use out of this piece. Additionally, the shape and pattern of this shirt will never go out of style, so you won't stick out if you're still wearing it two years from now. The top's light blue hue means it won't get dirty as easily as your standard white dress shirt, although it will look just as good. It's also multi-seasonal, so you can wear it on its own when the weather heats up and throw a sweater vest or a V-neck sweater over it when temperatures drop. All in all, while it may be priced slightly higher than what you're used to paying for a dress shirt, it's not exorbitant so it's worth your investment.

Akron Beacon Journal
AKRON — Opening the doors of a half-dozen storage units in Canal Fulton reveals 11 pieces of vintage military equipment and one sparkling surprise that represents a major battle of World War II.
The unusual collectible is a newly refurbished, 20-year-old mobile Iwo Jima statue. Its figures, freshly repainted in their Marine uniforms, re-create the dramatic flag-raising on the Pacific Island in February 1945.
"I don't know anybody who has a portable Iwo Jima memorial," said Dick Mastin, owner of the piece and a member of the Marlboro Volunteers.
Based in Stark County's Marlboro Township, the group of about 100 people maintains and repairs the equipment — including a WWII-era Stuart Tank — and takes the memorabilia to parades and educational displays across the region.
The collection totals nearly 70 wheeled military items.
"These are guys who collected old military equipment," said Bob Manns, 84, a retired orthopedic surgeon from Jackson Township and an Army veteran who is a member of the Marlboro Volunteers. He served as a doctor at a recruiting station in West Virginia during the Korean War.
Manns helped to restore the Iwo Jima statue in his barn with North Canton sculptor and artist Don Lundstrom.
The Iwo Jima statue is now available for deployment to area county fairs and community events along with the Marlboro Volunteers' 44-foot-long mobile museum, a wide-ranging display of American military history that is kept in an old moving van the volunteers own.
Mastin, 75, an Air Force veteran and a retired pilot for the Timken Co., owns numerous pieces of the vintage equipment. He obtained the Iwo Jima statue from the late Bill Bissler, a Marine veteran, for two vintage M1 carbines.
Lundstrom restored the hands and faces of the men in the piece, which is designed to look like the Marine Corps War Memorial at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery. That statue features five Marines and a Navy Corpsman.
Marlboro Volunteers officials said there are only four Marines in their piece because that is all the room Bissler had when he made it originally.
Other equipment kept in the Canal Fulton storage units includes World War II-era and Vietnam-era Jeeps, two half-tracks, two M114 armored personnel carriers from the Vietnam era, a 37-mm anti-tank gun and a Gulf War-era ambulance.
Stored at a barn near Alliance are a half-dozen large military trucks and other pieces of equipment.
On busy holidays, like Memorial Day, several groups use Marlboro Volunteers equipment at a half-dozen parades in the region, Mastin said.
At a local county fair this year, 150,000 people walked through the group's mobile history museum, he said.
Don Shaffer, 66, of Marlboro Township and one of the group's directors, said its main goal is "to salute military veterans and educate the public."
About 800 people attend the group's Ride through History held every July near Alliance, said Shaffer, a retired Alliance fire lieutenant who served in the Army.
The mobile history museum went to 30 events this year.

While most people think of the Nation's Capital as being the location of offices of foreign diplomats for that is where one will find embassies, many nation's have something akin to branch offices scattered throughout the country. These "branch offices" are known as consulates and Spain has nine located in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Chicago, New Orleans, Boston, New York, San Juan and Houston. For Spanish citizens visiting the United States, a consulate is their first stop for services they may need while traveling away from home.
To provide even greater convenience of service to their citizens, Spain's consulates in the United States also have honorary vice-consulates, something of a branch office of the branch office. The Spanish Consulate in Miami has four Honorary Vice Consulates in Florida located in Tampa, Orlando, Pensacola and St. Augustine.
Ms. Maria del Carmen Gutiérrez holds the title of Honorary Vice Consul for Spain in Northeast Florida. Maricarmen, as she is known, was originally appointed to her position by the Consulate General for Spain in Miami, Javier Vallaure. When Mr. Vallure was reassigned, the new Consulate General, Mr. Santiago Cabanas, reappointed Maricarmen to the position.
From her St. Augustine office in the historic La Casa del Hidalgo at the corner of Hypolita and St. George Streets, Maricarmen reaches out with services for many Spanish citizens who visit St. Augustine each year. Many of the questions Maricarmen handles are related to travel information, but she has also assisted those interested in opening a business in St. Augustine.
Because of St. Augustine's Spanish heritage, having a local representative of the Spanish Government has proven helpful for many organizations. Certainly two organizations which have benefited many times by Maricarmen's assistance are the City of St. Augustine and the St. Augustine Sister City Association which has two sister city relationships with Spanish communities, the Island of Menorca and the City of Avilés.
The Honorary Vice Consulate in St. Augustine may be reached by mail at 35 Hypolita St., Suite 103, St. Augustine, FL 32084 or by telephone at 904.827.1177.
The Consulate General of Spain in Miami is located at 2655 Le Jeune Rd., Suite 203, Coral Gables, FL 33134 and may be reached by phone at 305.446.5511 and by fax at 305.446.0585.

Canoe Club Restaurant Review: Canoe Club has the feel of a rustic lodge enlivened with the funky sounds of live jazz and blues every night. The menu is all about local ingredients combined in interesting ways. Try the mu shu pork shoulder with Korean scallion pancakes and kimchi, or the house-made sweet potato gnocchi with Gala apple, Cold Hollow cider, McNamara cream and crispy sage. Veal schnitzel is tossed with tangy sautéed cabbage, apple and roasted shallots with whole-grain mustard and McNamara cream. A must is the butterscotch mousse with spiced popcorn brittle.

Joint Money
Separate money
When we first got married, I didn't quite know how to handle this. All I knew was that I was much more knowledgeable about money and made about twice as much. Unfortunately, my wife was under the impression that I made $600,000,000 per month. Definitely caused some rifts.
We sat down and made a spreadsheet, starting with our pay stubs and deducting the mortgage, utility bills, property taxes, insurance, made some assumptions on gas, food, and misc stuff like paper towels, car work, etc. Came up with our savings goals and adjusted accordingly. She was flabbergasted at how much money it took just to survive and how much we should save to have a reasonable retirement (parenting fail imo).
I take care of setting up the IRAs and savings, paying the bills, and managing our balances. I just take what we decided out of her account twice a month. She ends up getting some extra due to cash she gets from being on-call, so she ends up having enough to go buy cluttery bull **** at Kohl's every now and then, so we're both reasonably happy.
So I guess, we have joint savings accounts and work together to fund our retirement accounts, but we have separate checking accounts to get us through the month.
Wife perspective here. We have only joint accounts, but for the last 10 years we've only had one income (I stay at home with our four kids). Even when I was working, we acted like we had one income because we knew eventually we would. It has worked for us with just minor disagreements along the way. It stinks at holiday/birthday time because hubby essentially "buys" his own gifts since I buy them and he pays the bills, but he does get himself nice things. ;)
Joint, but the wife has an account on the side that has nothing in it. She is a stay at home mom and if she happens to take in some coin, she can do what she wants with it. In about a year she will likely rejoin the workforce so we will see what happens then.
Not married but live in sin with the girlfriend. We have a joint account that we both put a percentage of our paychecks into that covers rent, bills, etc.. but we keep separate accounts for the rest. It works really well though if we end up getting married and having kids I assume the percentage we share would jump significantly.

Been there. True story
If there are children involved, she'll get like 80% or more. Been there.
A storm is brewing.
joint money / savings but separate in mutual funds/stocks/etc.
It doesn't matter what account(s) you have, in her mind its all hers anyways
Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:
'Struck by a Cyclone
It Comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town'
Live with my girlfriend and we each have separate accounts. I transfer her money each month since she already had all the bill pays set up for the bills. Once we're getting started on wedding crap we'll make the jump to a shared account.
We have a joint account for bills and stuff but then we both have our own seperate accounts for fun stuff

Not that I was surprised it existed at all, but of my close peers: with a generous definition, I'll put that population at 7...3 I know are separate, the other 4 I don't know, but would guess at least one more for sure separate (he's multiple divorced), one more possibly separate, one pick 'em, and one possibly joint. I'm the only one I know of who has shared money.
One of them has told me about the arguments he's had with his wife over who pays for what (although, I'm becoming more convinced that arguing is their foreplay), and I can't fathom going thru an argument over whose money pays for what...
but on the other hand, I also know of a guy who lied to his wife about how big his raise was and skimmed money off into a secret bank account via direct deposit for the stuff he wanted to buy but his wife wouldn't approve of. He played cards with buddies, and claimed he bought the stuff with his winnings which he overstated weekly.
I think both of those are ridiculous, but what's everyone else's positions on it?
We share but harder to keep track of I in some ways. I am thinking of seperating our discretionary, so I dont have to know or care what she spends her discretionary money on.
We have separate for business and accounting reasons. But when she needs money I have to fork some over to her so it really doesn't matter. We had a joint account and didn't have an issue with that, except when it came to keeping track of that the other person was taking out.
The gap in our economy is between what we have and what we think we ought to have--and that is a moral problem, not an economic one. - Paul Heyne
My wife stays home with our kids, so I pay all the, well, everything. We never combined our checking accounts when we got married, never really got around to it. I have about half of one of my paychecks per month go into her old checking account and she does whatever she wants with it. I assume that is what she spends on groceries and taking the kids out to eat and what not. Hell, she could be building up a fund to run away for all I know. However, she has a pretty sweet deal right now. Once the kids get old enough to go to school, she'll probably get a p/t job and put that into her account as well.

Not married (yet...2 months left of freedom) but we are thinking of doing it this way. We both like buying some things that the other thinks is incredibly stupid. If we each have a "fun" account, she can't berate me for a supercharger for the Corvette, just like I can't berate her for buying hideous, overpriced decorative things.

The Northlake Movie Tavern offers a menu that includes hamburgers, pizza, beer and wine in addition to the standard movie fare of popcorn and sodas. Cinema eateries combine the enjoyment of first-run movies with a dining experience. A full menu of chef-prepared Classic American favorites is available to Movie Tavern guests while they enjoy first-run feature films in state-of-the-art auditoriums.
At the Northlake Movie Tavern Original, patrons order at a lobby counter and receive a glow-in-the-dark table number. Their food and beverages are then delivered to their table – in the theatre – by Movie Tavern's staff. This approach to Movie Tavern's dine-in-theatre experience is known as the Movie Tavern Original concept.
"The counter concept is close to our heart: it's similar to the model we used in our original Movie Tavern, built in Fort Worth in 2001. We're excited to bring it to the Atlanta area and hope to eventually have four or five Movie Taverns here," said Jeffrey Benson, a Dallas native and Movie Tavern's President and Chief Executive Officer.
It is located at the back of the shopping center next to Toy-r-Us in the building that housed the old AMC 8 Theater that was closed over 10 years ago. Menu, pricing and ticket information can be found Movie Tavern.

Council passes ordinances enhancing multifamily house availability, adding mixed-use options
August 8, 2013 | Vol. 117 -- No. 16
New zoning code updates received a third and final reading after nearly two years of discussion at the Monday, Aug. 5 meeting of the Airway Heights City Council.
Two ordinances, one to enhance availability of multifamily housing and another adding a mixed-use overlay, have gone back and forth between the city and various jurisdictions relating to how it would fit with aerospace enhancements. Spokane International Airport and Spokane County were among those who had numerous comments throughout the timeline.
Airway Heights at one point put itself under an emergency moratorium regarding mix...

I am super excited to share my new eBook with you, Berrylicious 25 New Mouth-Watering Recipes for Enjoying the Summer's Healthiest Fruits . After a few months of creating, developing, writing, testing, and photographing, it is finally ready! And I hope you love it as much as I do!
For the last 10 years I have been baking gluten-free goodies for my family. I've learned a thing or two about baking – there were quite a few flops, hockey pucks, and garbage dumps. But there have been far more successes, and even the flops are considered successes if you count all that I learned over the years.
As soon as I wrapped up my Holistic Nutrition program, I got to work on an eBook so I could share some of the things I've learned. I had so much fun creating Berrylicious 25 New Mouth-Watering Recipes for Enjoying the Summer's Healthiest Fruits .
I chose to create these recipes around some of my favorite fruits: raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries.
Why these three berries? We can get them locally throughout the summer months, but also because they're considered some of nature's best super foods.
Don't get me wrong, I love my coconut oil, my goji and mulberry berries, and other famed super foods, but I also love to be able to support my farming community by buying locally grown foods. Berries are the perfect super foods because they're seasonal, locally grown, and loaded with health benefits. Perfection, right?
Inside Berrylicious
- You'll find a picture for each recipe – I think taking the pics for this book was one of my favorite parts!
- You'll also find recipes using one or all of the following flours: certified gluten-free oat flour, almond flour, buckwheat flour, and tapioca flour. I kept it simple.
- Every recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, and egg-free.
- Along with the berries, I used my favorite unrefined sugars to sweeten the recipes: maple syrup, stevia, medjool dates, and coconut sugar.
- Included in the book is a detailed pantry list, a tools section, and an FAQ list.
- There are recipes for cookies, dairy-free cheesecakes, smoothies, muffins, mini-pies, and so much more.
- The eBook is available now for purchase – only $7!
Make sure you get your copy of Berrylicious 25 New Mouth-Watering Recipes for Enjoying the Summer's Healthiest Fruits and then head to the Farmer's Market to get some beautiful berries!

So Sam Allardyce appears to be living to fight another day after West Ham's dramatic collapse at the City Ground, Nottingham on Sunday. Many owners and chairmen may have seen fit to make a managerial change there and then, whether this reaction would've been knee-jerk or not is another argument but West Ham's co-owners have publicly shown their support for Big Sam with a message on the club's official website.
The fact that West Ham's exit from the FA Cup to a Championship side (who also made changes to their line-up) was unsurprising to many highlights just how much of a slump they find themselves in. Even if West Ham had been at full strength, they would've still found it difficult to beat Forest. In all honesty, it's difficult to see them winning any games any time soon.
However, the main reason behind West Ham's plight can't be blamed on Allardyce. As David Gold and David Sullivan mentioned in their message, he was down to the bare bones in terms of the availability of his players with a squad of just 14 to choose from at the weekend. Injuries have decimated the Hammers this season and none of these have been as well-documented as that of Andy Carroll, the club's record signing and main source of goals. Inevitably, any side without their main man in front of goal will struggle but this has worsened due to the fact that, for the majority of the season, Allardyce has been forced to play without a recognised striker.
Frankly there isn't any manager in the world that would be able to completely reverse the Hammers' fortunes given these problems. No manager should be punished for unfortunate circumstances which are beyond his control. Therefore I find it refreshing to see Gold and Sullivan publicly keeping their faith in Allardyce, in complete contrast to the shambolic state of affairs which unfolded at Cardiff.
Whereas most of their relegation rivals have already changed their managers, it's arguable whether or not their decisions have paid off. In all honesty, West Ham's chances of survival are going to be no different whether they decide to keep Big Sam or replace him. Therefore, there's surely no need to sack him at this point. The only time when his position can be called into question is if he fails to significantly add to his squad in January as this is a factor which is in his control, unlike all the others which I've already alluded to. This coming month will be key to their chances as the squad is in dire need of being bolstered.
If West Ham, as a club, make all the right moves from now until the end of the season they should stay up. I say this because of all the teams in danger of relegation, West Ham are one of the most well-equipped sides to deal with a battle like this. They have a strong squad (when everyone is fit) and they have a manager who knows exactly how to scrap for points. This should give them an edge during the second half of the season. Many West Ham fans are losing patience with him due to his style of football but with their current predicament, attractive football isn't the priority. It's called a relegation battle for a reason. Clubs involved in it need to show battling qualities or otherwise they will not survive. Under Big Sam this won't be an issue.

It's a lonely world working from home. And it is never so evident than when you have a funny encounter on the phone with an inept receptionist, or when you accidentally spill mayo on your work-from-home uniform (a.k.a. sweat pants), or when you run across a sophomoric typo in an email. You have no one to share in that little bit of work-related humor.
This was brought to my attention a couple days ago by a friend of mine who works from home. Knowing that I, too, work from home she sent me an email telling me of a hilarious incident she had while making a professional phone call. As she laughed about the incident she realized she had no one to laugh with...so she emailed me. But by then, it became a case of "guess you had to be there".
So, as it turns out, there is a reason to miss working in a cubicle.

Our ex-show apartment is in a converted Georgian Mill complex on an island in the middle of Dublin's River Liffey. It is spacious and sunny with direct views across the River Liffey Weir and the open parkland of Dublin's War Memorial Gardens and the Phoenix Park, whilst still being only a mile from Dublin's City Centre. It is a real haven from a busy buzzing city and also has has high speed WIFI.
We have renovated our apartment with solid oak floors, a state of the art kitchen in solid cherry and a bathroom in creamy Italian marble, and it furnished with family antiques. After a wet Dublin Day, the best bit is our large jacuzzi hot tub!
Our snug little guest room is 8 x 11 feet and also has its own large desk, WIFI, safe, CD radio, TV, DVD player, and a double sofa bed, in addition to the actual soft single bed.
We are a 5 minute walk from top tourist attractions including Kilmainham Gaol, Irish Museum of Modern Art and 15 minutes walk to the Guinness Brewery. You can also go for long walks up the river to the historic village of Chapelizod for a pub lunch, or into the verdant Phoenix Park for a long walk or cycle, as we often do.
We are roughly 1.5 km from the city centre and Temple Bar which is a 5 minute bus ride, a 10 minute cycle or 40 minute walk away. We are on multiple bus routes, or 18 minutes walk from Heuston Station where the red LUAS tram/ main airport bus 747 all leave from, it is also the national rail station which serves Cork, Kerry, Waterford and Limerick lines. From Heuston you take the tram into the city in 5 minutes, or you can cycle from us into the city in 15 minutes, if you want to live like a local! We are also 8 minutes from the M50/N4 junction (Dublin's main ring road) by car and 25 minutes drive from the airport. There is free parking in the park beside our home.
We are a thirty something couple who got married in May 2013. For our honeymoon we went around Italy with Wimdu and Airbnb! Between us, we speak, as our first languages, English and Czech, and also from an intermediate to advanced level, Italian, Slovak, French and Russian. We have traveled to over 40 countries between us, last year saw us in Mali, Morocco, Gambia and Senegal, the previous travelling from our Czech second home to Istanbul by rail.
Alice is a freelance opera director and theatre writer/director, with mixed Irish-English-American heritage who mostly runs her own theatre company Wonderland Theatre. If you're interested she can tell you a fair bit about Irish history, writing and culture from her various theatre projects on the topic - one of which, an audio walk of James Joyce's Dubliners is on in Dublin daily. Radek is originally from South Bohemia and now has his own pottery studio in Phibsborough Touch Design Ceramics, which you are very welcome to visit.
Our other interests would be travel, all things cultural - after all we met in the Hugh Lane Art Gallery in Dublin, beach and mountain walks, opera and classical music, reading, movies and cycling.
A breakfast of cereals, home made jams, breads and tea/coffee etc is included in the price.
The bedroom in this listing can also accommodate a second person on the pull out sofa bed or on a single air mattress on the floor, but it's very snug, which is why we only charge less than a bed and breakfast night in a hostel for a second person.
If a couple would like to stay with us, please see our other listing for our double bedroom, stays are for 3 nights or longer - as we need to move into our snug guest bedroom. Just click on our profile to find it.
We welcome long term guests and have had some guests stay with us for over a month. Many of these guests have been moving to a new life in Dublin and we've really enjoyed helping them settle in and find permanent accommodation - and best of all are delighted to have made new friends in Dublin!
We've included gym/hotub/sauna/steamroom in our listing as Alice is a member of the local gym at the Living Well Kilmainham (which is 5 minutes away) and can bring you there for free once as her guest.
If we're free and you can text us to confirm your flight is on time, we're willing to pick you up or drop you at the airport for an additional €25 cash, plus short term car park fees (currently €3/hour) if we need to use it.
Alice is a passionate cook, and qualified at Cook's Academy Dublin last year, so she would warmly invite our guests to share our candlelit dinner with us for an extra €10 cash a night, lunch is €8.She can cook classical Irish, British, Italian, French and Thai food. She would be very happy to teach you the recipes that she cooks too!
Thanks for reading our listing and we hope to welcome you to our home and city soon.
A simple Irish breakfast of cereals, tea or coffee toast, butter and jam is included in the price and if we're in and cooking you're welcome to join us for our candlelit home cooked meals, as many of guests choose to - lunch is €8 and dinner €10.
Breakfast is only available until 11 am, and after this time, we would kindly ask that you only use the kitchen to prepare hot drinks and simple snacks, unless we've made other arrangements together. For instance we've had a great time sharing national recipes and foods with our guests before.
Please don't eat the foods like the bread and milk we set aside for breakfast time throughout the day! Instead we would warmly encourage you to join us for our lunch and dinners.
If you are bringing guests home, we'd like to be asked in advance and to ask that they should leave by 11pm.
You are welcome to use our washing machine but please dry your laundry on the rack in your room.
If you are a smoker, you're most welcome into our home but please smoke on the balcony, with the door closed so the smoke cannot enter the apartment and use an ashtray. This balcony has a kind of roof so you can smoke there even when it's raining!
Please respect our check out time of 11 pm unless otherwise arranged.
When leaving our house please be sure to check that the balcony door is locked, the alarm is one and both the locks on the front door are locked.
Our home is full of beautiful family antiques, please take good care of them.
Please feel free to tell us what your needs are too, so we can have a really great time together

Hey Dublin is a great City and when you stay at Radek and his wife it will be more better. This couple ist so cute and friendly.
My Sister and I stay in their Apartment for 2 nights and enjoy the look out the window. The Apartment ist on an green Island in the City and you can walk or going by bus to the central (for Shopping, Sightseeing or clubing) So a Little peace of happiness in the town. When I came back to Dublin I would stay again. So do it and book ;-)
We stayed there for 4 nights, and we enjoyed it very much.
Alice and Radek have a cosy flat. Our view from the bedroom was great, we walked approximately 20 minutes to the heuston station.
We really can recommend this appartment.
The bedroom was much smaller, than expected.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying with Alice and Radek. They are great hosts and made us feel very comfortable with them. We liked them very much and thought that their apartment is very cute and special. Everybody who stays with them is in very good hands in Dublin. Thanks for everything Alice and Radek!!
We did enjoy our being at Alice and Radek. The place is really cosy and its location is just wonderful. At least for us, my 10 years old daughter and me, leaving by the Phoenix park and Memorial gardens appeared to be much more comfortable and relaxing than if we would have lived in the city centre. Bus stop is just 5 min walk so getting downtown is not a problem, moreover, we had bikes. The apartment inner design reflects the artistic personalities of its hosts and I loved that very much! We spent 7 days in Dublin and for that time I got my favorites at Alice and Radek's place: mug to drink of, picture to look at and so on. It was homelike))
Thanks to Alice and Radek for their hospitality and kind assistance on different aspects concerning our Ireland trip! Hope to visit them once more some day)
While writing I'm drinking a cup of Barry's Tea out of my porcelain mug I got from Radek's pottery and happily thinking back to my stay at Alice and Radek. From their flat in the Bellevue housing complex (for drivers: there is a street sign immediately behind the Liffey bridge) you have a nice view to the War Memorial Gardens. I had a nice walk through the garden up to the Anglers Rest in Chapelizod (@Alice: Thanks for recommendation!) which now is one of my favourite restaurants. Also I can recommend Alice's dinners; she's a fine cook. Summary: Everything was perfect. I will return if I'm lucky to visit dublin again before they will have children.
Appartement bien situé à quelques arrêts de bus du Centre de Dublin. Hôtes charmants et agréables. L'appartement est décoré avec soin et offre une très belles vue sur un grand parc.
El alojamiento con Radek y Alice muy bien,estuvimos muy comodos y contentos.
El problema es más con windu, ya que la dirección de la casa,no venia bien indicada en la pagina web,porque la que viene se refiere al barrio donde está situada,y hablando con alice,nos dijo que ella habia mandado todos los datos a wimdu.
Por lo demás,todo bien.

If you are considering a recording project, I STRONGLY recommend contacting David Smith. I had a great time on my trip to Fort Wayne, Indiana back in February for my first project "How Can You Think of Me?". Besides listening on the Catholic Jukebox, you can hear the results at http://gfsongs.com. Songs from the album have also been included on Catholic Music Express podcasts http://catholicmusicexpress.com. Also, an interview by Lisa Hendey will be included in a soon-to-be-released episode of the Catholic Moments podcast.
BTW, one song on the album, "Let's Work Together" was written days after Hurricane Katrina knocked out our power.
Love the advice. Thank you.
nice post,i love you post

Job openings and labor turnover in May 2011
July 14, 2011
On a seasonally adjusted basis, both the job openings rate (2.2 percent) and the number of job openings (3.0 million) were unchanged in May.
The number of job openings in May was 862,000 higher than in July 2009 (the series trough), but remains well below the 4.4 million openings when the recession began in December 2007
The hires rate (3.1 percent) and separations rate (3.1 percent) in May were little changed from the previous month.
At 4.1 million in May, the number of hires is up from 3.6 million in October 2009 (the series trough) but still below the 5.0 million hires in December 2007. Over the past 12 months, the hires rate (not seasonally adjusted) showed no significant over-the-year increase in any industry or region.
The total separations rate, which includes voluntary quits, involuntary layoffs and discharges, and other separations such as retirements, was unchanged in May and has changed little over the past year.
These data are from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. To learn more, see "Job Openings and Labor Turnover – May 2011" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-11-1032.
