Employers add 2,000 new jobs in November
Maryland adds 26,700 jobs since January
15,000 additional Marylanders working in November; 9,400 fewer unemployed
Revised October data shows increase of 7,400 jobs from September to October
Maryland Labor Secretary lauds SHA BuildUp training initiative
BALTIMORE, MD (December 20, 2011) - Maryland's unemployment rate improved 0.3 percentage points in
November, dropping below 7.0 percent for the first time since May 2011. The state's 6.9 percent
unemployment rate is 1.7 percentage points below the national average. Preliminary data released today
by the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that Maryland employers added 2,000
jobs in November, the third straight month of job growth. Since January, Maryland has added nearly 27,000
jobs, the largest January-November job growth since 2005. The BLS report also revised October payroll data
upward by 4,300 jobs. Based on the revised data, Maryland added 7,400 jobs from September to October.
"Maryland's unemployment rate improved to 6.9 percent in November. The 0.3 percentage point reduction
in the state jobless rate is the largest single-month improvement since the start of the recession," said
Maryland Labor Secretary Alexander M. Sanchez. "While this month's report is another positive sign, our
job growth must accelerate to keep Maryland competitive in the New Economy. On-the-job training programs,
like the BuildUp program our partners at the State Highway Administration launched earlier this month, go
a long way to put Marylanders to work now and equip them with the skills to keep their jobs in tomorrow's
Maryland's private sector drove the state's job growth during November. Private sector employers added
4,300 jobs. The construction and leisure supersectors led the way, each adding 1,100 new positions. The
leading subsectors included retail trade, which added 2,600 jobs and the professional, scientific and
technical services and accommodation/food services subsectors, which each added 1,800 jobs. Maryland shed
2,300 government jobs, including 2,300 state positions and 500 federal jobs (local governments added 500
jobs). The state government losses may be the result of American Reinvestment and Recovery Act grants
running out.
Employment data shows that more than 15,000 additional Marylanders were working in November and 9,400
fewer were unemployed. In all, the state's labor force grew by more than 5,700.
The Department of Labor supports a variety of workforce training programs that will help maintain a
skilled workforce and accelerate future job growth. Earlier this month, the Maryland State Highway
Administration launched a new training program for disadvantaged Marylanders to give them the key tools
they need to secure jobs in the transportation field. The BuildUp training program will provide on-the-job
training for 150 individuals over the next year for transportation careers in one of three primary tracks:
construction craft skills, Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) systems and accredited CDL
(commercial driving license) preparation.
Additional information on the SHA program can be found at their
website or at DLLR's One Stop Employment
Centers. Applications must be submitted by January 15 and can only be completed on SHA's website.
The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation protects and
empowers Marylanders by safeguarding workers, protecting
consumers, providing a safety net and cultivating a thriving
workforce that can meet the demands of Marylands dynamic
economy. Follow DLLR on Twitter

The Buffalo School Board is seeking the public's input on legally required plans to reapportion the city school district in advance of next year's board elections.
A sparsely attended community meeting held Monday in West Hertel Academy was the first of four such meetings where the public was invited to ask questions and engage members of an advisory committee appointed to redraw the school district map.
"The whole purpose of the forums is to, first and foremost, inform the public of the [redistricting] process; secondly, to educate the public about the process," said board Vice President Ralph R. Hernandez, chairman of the advisory committee.
Every 10 years, after a federal census, the board is required to redraw its map. Currently, there are six districts that are mandated to be roughly equal in population. With an overall decreasing city population and shifting neighborhood populations, the map has to be redrawn every decade to maintain that balance.
The object of reapportionment is to give effect to the one person, one vote principle as outlined in the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
Five representatives of the nine-member Redistricting Advisory Committee attended Monday's forum, including Hernandez, former Common Council President James W. Pitts, Khalil Cottman, Janique Curry and Denise Hanlon. They outnumbered the citizens who attended the meeting
Elizabeth Johnson, who described herself as being "heavily into parent involvement," lamented the low turnout. Johnson, who also is an alternate member on District Parent Coordinating Council, said parent facilitators in each of the school buildings can be useful in increasing the turnout for the next three forums.
"That's why you have parent facilitators in your building. They work with parents. They could have pushed to have [notifications] sent home [with the students], because it is all up to the parents," Johnson said.
Otherwise, information regarding the redistricting and the next public hearing dates can be found at www.buffaloschools.org.
The advisory committee will recommend a new map based, in part, on public input from the forums. The next three are set for 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Southside Elementary School, 430 Southside Parkway; 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, Stanley M. Makowski Early Childhood Center, 1095 Jefferson Ave.; and 10 a.m. to noon Nov. 10, Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts, 450 Masten Ave.
A redistricting resolution must be adopted by Dec. 12.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - We adopted our dog Jasper when he was about 6-months-old. Like good puppy parents, we went to a training class right away. Jasper did well in class, but now that he is 18-months-old he has totally stopped listening. Every week we promise ourselves to be better about training him, but the days fly by and we never do it. How do you motivate your students to keep working with their dogs?
Jasper's family
Dear Family,
For most of us, it is hard to find time for one more thing in our already over-scheduled days. Training the dog takes a backseat because is seems optional until your dog develops some horrible behavior that is really hard to correct.
Dogs thrive on structure and predictability. The "Nothing in Life is Free" method makes your dog work for every reward they receive. Rewards can be food, attention, playtime or anything your dog enjoys. If I make my dog "wait" before going out the door, I don't have to give her a treat when I release her with an "OK." Getting to go out is the reward. By integrating training into every single interaction, you will naturally train them without any extra effort.
Training sessions are most effective when they are short, fun and your dog is motivated to work. For most dogs, hunger equals motivation! Measure out half of your dog's daily ration of kibble and put it in a baggie. Use this as training "treats" throughout the day. I love this method because it keeps me honest! If I don't train, my dog doesn't eat.
Here are examples of how training can easily be integrated into your day:
1. Wake up and go out to potty: "Wait" by the door to go out. "Good dog" when they go.
2. Breakfast time: Practice some cues before eating: Sit, down, watch me, shake.
3. Time to eat: "Wait" for the food bowl to be put on the floor and "OK" as a release to eat.
4. Morning walk: "Wait" to go through the door. Have your dog "stay" before leaving the driveway and then practice "heel" if walking on leash. If walking off leash, periodically call your dog back to you and then release with "go play."
5. During your walk, stop periodically and give your dog a cue: Sit, down, etc.
6. Time to get in the car: "Load up," "wait" and "unload" can be part of this common routine.
7. Playtime can also be learning time. Have your dog "wait," throw the ball and then release him to "get it, bring it, and drop it".
My dog loves to clean the dishes after I load the dishwasher. I have her "stay" on her bed and then release her to "clean up." This kind of schedule creates structure, predictability and allows you to train as you move through the day. You will be amazed how quickly your dog learns to follow the rules and you can stop feeling guilty for letting yet another day go by without training.

A typo-deliberate version of own, a slang term that means to dominate. This could also be spelled "0\/\/n3d" or "pwn3d," among other variations.
I pwn you at Quake 3.
PsYkoによって 2005年02月17日(木)
The utterance or transcribing of this word is the sure sign of an internet loser. For concerned parties, also look for pwned and pwnage. Basically started as leetards making typos in their own stupid language, and now passes for humor amongst zit-faced boys or 40 year old men trying to fit in with zit-faced boys.
My name is Fata1ity! I will pwn you!
Halfによって 2005年02月12日(土)
Means the same thing as own, and is the basic founding of 1337-sp33k. Was first used in a game of StarCraft for PC (by Blizzard) on accident.
I PWNED j00!
Sonic12040によって 2003年10月26日(日)
Quite obviously a typo for own. If you have a qwerty keyboard then you will notice that the p and the o are next to each other. Our ancestor (1 generation ago) used the word own quite commonly but over time people got the impression that the typo pwn was actually a word. If you think about it the words own and pwn can be used in the same contex.
God damn i own
God damn i pwn
God damn i pwn
Shaleによって 2005年09月09日(金)
Originally, an old-school hacker term meaning "to gain control over someone else's computer/network by hacking thier root account and assigning yourself 'admin' permissions", which has more recently been mis-appropriated by script kiddies and gamers to indicate that they are better at a game than someone else, or some stupid shit like that.
None. Real hackers don't actually use the word themselves, it is always used by someone else *about* them.
daDebilによって 2004年02月26日(木)
1. To "own" someone in an online or other multiplayer act of gaming.
2. An alternate form of Burnination.
3. The act of pwnage.
4. A popular mispelled word online, rumored to have been created by a newbie (or total n00b) on an online game. Has spread to many other games.

What Broken Lizard was shooting for here isn't exactly clear because "Club Dread" is a strange amalgamation of a horror film and a comedy film, yet it's not like "Scream" in the sense that it's a parody of a horror film. In fact, it doesn't have the slightest clue what it wants to be.

on June 23, 2013 - 6:36 PM
After a yearlong "listening tour," Bernard Tolbert's challenge to two-term incumbent Mayor Byron W. Brown in the September Democratic mayoral primary is proving low key.
Even some of his ardent supporters describe Tolbert's effort as "invisible," absent a single press release or ad on the airwaves.
But in recent days, the former head of the FBI's Buffalo office has revved up the pace. He had made media rounds, shook hands with voters and attended community events, all the while articulating a case for his candidacy.
"I recognize and my campaign recognizes we've got work to do for my name recognition," he said. "We know we've got more to do."
He promised his campaign soon will become much more visible, and that he is "out there every day."
Political observers agree Tolbert has run an active campaign on the street level. For months, he has attended virtually every community event in the city and staged small gatherings in which he discussed issues with voters.
Still, others are waiting for him to begin advertising or adopt a more aggressive posture toward current events and the race.
With his campaign yet to hit full stride, Tolbert at least has begun to outline a platform of reducing crime, improving education, supporting neighborhoods and creating jobs.
He said his effort stems from a desire to "make things better" in his native city. He harbors no political ambitions beyond City Hall, he said. In fact, the candidate emphasized he identifies with no political club, faction or clique – and owes nobody.
"The current mayor grew up in a political machine; he has never had a job outside of politics," Tolbert said during a recent meeting with editors and reporters of The Buffalo News. "I would appoint people to positions in City Hall based on their ability to help me get the job done and with no regard for political affiliation."
Tolbert, 65, understands that he faces a tough assignment against an entrenched mayor who holds the advantages of incumbency and can tap more than $1 million in campaign money. Tolbert expects Brown to air campaign ads featuring the fleet of construction cranes working on new development at the foot of Main Street, the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus and other downtown locations.
Tolbert said no such development is occurring elsewhere.
"I would not develop a city by leaving certain areas behind and ignore the East Side, Riverside and Black Rock," Tolbert said "We're only as strong as our weakest neighborhood."
Tolbert questioned the city's emphasis on tearing down vacant housing "without a strategic plan." He said old tires and broken glass litter vacant lots when city officials should plan for mini-parks or something that improves the properties.
Given new statistics showing the graduation rate of Buffalo Public Schools falling to 47 percent, Tolbert said the mayor needs to play a larger role in one of the city's most pressing problems: education. While acknowledging limitations on the chief executive despite the city's annual contribution of approximately $70 million, Tolbert said he would adopt a different approach.
"We've had a lack of strong leadership; there has been a silence," he said. "The mayor of a city should have a bully pulpit to be a strong advocate for our children.
"It's a priority for me," he added. "Until I see changes, you'll be hearing from me all the time."
Tolbert said he would lobby Albany for powers similar to those of the mayor of New York, who appoints some School Board members. Tolbert said he would seek quarterly reports on how the school district spends city money.
Tolbert, a 22-year veteran of the FBI and former special agent in charge of the Buffalo office, is expected to emphasize his crime-fighting credentials as well as earlier experience as a social worker. His career taught him how to manage people and how to deal with crime, he said.
He acknowledged some improvement in crime statistics since Brown became mayor, but he called violent crime a "huge issue."
The FBI's recent crime report for 2012 showed Buffalo with the 11th worst violent crime record in the nation.
Brown has not embraced some elements of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's new strict gun control law. Tolbert agreed the measure was not fully discussed and debated before its January passage. He said the legislation missed the mark by not concentrating on possession of illegal guns, and he seems to offer only lukewarm support despite strong backing by the state's other big city mayors.
"I would likely support it," he said of the Cuomo bill.
The mayor, meanwhile, proudly points to surveillance cameras around the city, more police officers on the streets and a continuing gun buyback program that he said has removed 11,000 weapons from Buffalo streets. Tolbert called the buyback "fine as a PR move."
"But if you're telling people you're now safer, you're being disingenuous," he said, adding he fails to understand why police do not ask questions about guns they receive in the program.
Sources inside the Brown campaign indicate significant fundraising success recently, with an average of one event per week. The mayor is expected to file more than his current $1.1 million balance when campaign submits finance reports next month. Tolbert has staged only one major event.
He has lined up several well-heeled donors, however, who are expected to solicit many other potential contributors.
Despite concerted efforts, Tolbert has failed to gain the backing of any minor party.
Brown won the backing of Democratic Party leaders and has been nominated by the Conservative, Independence and Working Families parties, too.
That means Tolbert must win the Sept. 10 Democratic primary to advance to the Nov. 5 general election in the overwhelmingly Democratic city.
Tolbert has promised to wage an aggressive and serious campaign backed by significant resources.
He also deflected criticism that he waited too long to enter the race.
He said his first shipment of lawn signs has arrived and will soon be seen around the city. He has assembled a campaign staff.
He has opened two headquarters, one on Hertel Avenue and another on Delaware Avenue, and will soon open an East Side facility, too.
He says his motivation is simple.
"I do this because Buffalo is my home, and I want to do my part to make it better," he said.

'Right to work' is no assault on unionization
December 29, 2012
As Michigan legislators were debating a "right to work" measure, since approved and signed into law, labor union officials proclaimed it was a dastardly assault on workers' rights to unionize....
Right to work(big joke) is an assault on workers rights. Its amazing how uneducated people are, without the unions we would have nothing, no safety rules, no vacation time, no pay raises, no 40 hr week, no over time pay, no healthcare and the list goes on and on. WV workers actually died fighting for unions so we could have a better life and now a few company hacks who are most likely bought and paid for by the Koch brothers come on here to trick the honest people. Unions help our state, without them you are a slave. Its that simple.

An embryo or fetus is not a person or baby. Words have meanings; you confuse the issue.
If a workplace has a union, and if a new employee wants to take advantage of the higher wages and better benefits that usually accompany a union job, then the new employee should certainly pay whatever dues the union collects from its members.
Otherwise, the new employee is a free rider taking advantage of the efforts of others without making a contribution himself.
Even Adam Smith argued in favor of unions and against the ability of owners to conspire to keep wages low.

" Being pro choice means a woman makes a decision that affects only herself."
You seem to be forgetting the most important person affected, that being the baby inside her who has no "choice".
CO, So tell me again in the Constitution where I'm mandated to assemble? So if a company forced me to join a religion as terms of my employment would that be OK?
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
There is absolutely no doubt that the growth of unions in the US led to the growth of the middle class, with steadily increasing wages and benefits. CEOs of large corporations made 30-50 times what the average employee made. This was the case from 1950-1980.
When Reagan and the Republicans declared war on the unions, wages started to stagnate and CEO salaries started to climb. Today, top CEOs make 300-500 times what their average employee makes. Today, employees are responsible for their own retirement, thru 401k plans instead of defined benefit plans. This has removed the risk from the employer and placed it entirely on the employee.
Today, large corporations can spend unlimited amounts of money on their candidate, even if that candidate favors the owners over the laborers. So laborers are working against their own self interest.

Bad analogy. Being pro choice means a woman makes a decision that affects only herself. Being pro right to work weakens every union's bargaining power, and therefore affects all the union members, not just the person making the choice.

"Without them you are a SLAVE TO THE CORPERATION! That just doesnt seem to sink in your head, so you would rather not have any healthcare? no retirement? no safety? no 40 hr week, no overtime pay, no say in anything that affects your life."
Hmmm let's see here I have NOT worked for a company with a union in over 23 years and what do iI have? A six figure income, great health insurance with most cost covered by my employer, restricted stock, a 15% annual bonus based on performance, an annual raise of 3-7% even in this crappy economy. So how many of you union members have this? Not saying unions were not needed in the past, but they have pretty much out lived their usefulness and most union brass know it which is why they've become so politically active, to save their cushy union jobs.

Again, no facts, just hot air with a few slams thrown in. Read history about unions and what they have done for us all. Are they perfect? NO! Without them you are a SLAVE TO THE CORPERATION! That just doesnt seem to sink in your head, so you would rather not have any healthcare? no retirement? no safety? no 40 hr week, no overtime pay, no say in anything that affects your life. Your grandfathers and Mothers fought and dies getting companies to pay a fair wage and now you want to give those gains away for what? Less pay? No healthcare? NO SAFETY? NO SAY in working conditions? WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES WITHOUT A UNION? SEE YOU JUST DONT MAKE SENSE AT ALL.

But for those who don't want their money to support political causes and lobbying efforts for causes which they oppose (such as is the case for members of many religious groups), they can avoid thier money supporting causes to which they have personal or moral opposition.
If (and this is a big IF) the tables were turned and unions were conservative, woudl liberal members want thier money being spent by unions to support political causes and to lobby against planned parenthood, gay/lesbian rights, etc.? Of couse they would not. but in union shops, many conservatives have to watch as their wages are used not only to benefit workers rights and job-related causes, but also to political causes to which they have strong opposition.
I know that it is a delicate balance, but the CHOICE of whether or not to pay full dues or only bargaining unit costs should be a personal choice, and having to be a full member of a union to work at a particular place should not be required.
6 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I am sure that people will disagree, and feel free to do so.
I worked for National Right to Work right out of school and learned the REAL facts about what "right to work" means, and all the while I was a proud member of the UAW- by CHOICE. (I had worked for GM through college.)
The right to work law- as has been noted- still allows unionization, but allows for members of the bargaining unit to still pay their FAIR SHARE of the collective bargaining unit costs- costs such as representation, negotiation, arbitration/mediation, and grievance support. It allows memebrs who do not want their money going to POLITICAL ACTION such as lobbying and political donations.
Unions protect workers through collective bargaining. They promote safer working conditions, better pay, job security, and individual assurances about workign conditions. Sure, some dead weight latches on and makes unionization look bad, but overall, unions make a stronger workforce.

Why would anyone not want a union? THe facts are: Better pay, better healthcare, better working conditions, more say into how you are being treated, better job security, the list goes on. WIthout union? Not a penney, nothing but broken promises, lies, wage cuts, healthcare cuts, ect. Think about it, why would any worker not want a union? One reason, they buy into the lies from AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY, Tea Party, ECT. They are the bought and paid for by corperations, Koch Bros, ect. My brothers and sisters here in WV, I was born here, raised here, I am a DAV, I have traveled the world, been to the middle east and seen several other third world countries. STOP! THINK! I know without a union what happens, YOU LOSE EVERYTHING YOUR FATHERS AND MOTHERS FOUGHT BIG BUSINESS TO GET. EVERYTHING! YOU CANT ALLOW BIG BUSINESS TO SEND YOUR JOBS TO CHINA, MEX, ASIA AND THEN FIGHT OVER THE CRUMS.EDUCATE, TRAIN, WORK TOGETHER FOR SOLUTIONS. A STRONG AMERICA WAS BUILT BY UNIONS. TOGETHER WE ALL WIN!

The 18-member team from Alexandra Hospital, which includes orthopaedic surgeons and surgeons from the operating theatres, will be stationed at the Klaten and Sarjito hospitals in Yogyakarta to help with relief operations.
They will bring with them antibiotics, painkillers and other medical equipment.
Dr Chin Thiam Wai, Team Leader, Alexandra Hospital, said: "With earthquake injuries, the more serious ones like the head and chest injuries, I hope they would have been dealt with first because those are the ones with high fatalities. Next comes open fractures, big cuts, wounds, bruises which we'll probably be handling this at this point in time."
The Singapore Red Cross team, comprising 3 doctors, 7 nurses and a logistician, is its second to be despatched.
They will be working from a makeshift casualty station in a field camp in Bantul alongside their Indonesian counterparts, the Palang Merah Indonesia.
They expect different challenges from those in the tsunami aftermath.
Serene Chia, Team Leader, Singapore Red Cross, said: "This is a situation where everyone is desperate and looking for help and we hope we can render the help that is available. Now we are dealing with the people who are buried rather than people surrounded by water and wet. Now the people have a fear in buildings and places that are enclosed. In tsunami, they are afraid of water."
Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan, who saw them off at the airport, lauded the relief mission as a worthwhile cause.
He said: "From the TV images, we know that the situation there is quite grave and we do not know how much is needed so one of the mission is also to size up the situation. I think if they need more help, there are still many more volunteers wanting to be despatched over the next few days. But whatever it is, we alone can't do it, there are many other countries there as well, but we do our part. If we can save tens, hundreds of lives, it is still lives saved and worth doing so."
There's already a team of doctors and nurses from the Singapore Red Cross and the medical community at the quake site in Yogyakarta.
The teams that are flying off on Tuesday are expected to beef up the relief mission there over the next 10 to 15 days.
The 11-member Mercy Relief team, comprise medical personnel from the National University Hospital and the Singapore General Hospital as well as its volunteers.
The quake in Indonesia has claimed more than 5,000 lives with thousands more injured.

Eva Longoria just confirmed her relationship with Miami entrepreneur and philanthropist Ernesto Arguello, and now a source close to the Honduran hunk says things between the couple are quite serious.
"It's very real – they're both in love, which is rare for him," the source tells PEOPLE of the couple who were together over the holiday in Austin, where they spent time with pals from Ready for Love. "They're always traveling together. His family likes her a lot ... they've never seen him so taken by someone."
The duo met last year when he was cast in the reality show Longoria, 38, produced. They shot down rumors that they were dating this spring, but Longoria admitted this week that their friendship eventually blossomed into something more – and the source says it could potentially be something permanent, despite their failed relationships in the past.
"Eva is a firm believer in marriage," says the source. "Ernie may be a player when he is single, but he's never cheated on anyone and is very religious. I think the fact that he's so family oriented is what got her."
"My guess would be they'll be married within the next year," the source added.
On paper, the duo are a perfect match. They both speak Spanish, have successful careers and have a passion for philanthropy, which they recently demonstrated when Longoria accompanied Arguello, 34, to his native Honduras to visit the school he built in his community, and to see the homes he has built for impoverished families.
Plus, they are both committed to religion and family. He has already been introduced to her family in San Antonio, and Longoria has earned a thumbs up from the Arguello clan, perhaps in part for her unpretentious nature.
"Eva is so down to earth, she doesn't 'act famous' at all," says the source. "He is definitely not dating her because she is famous ... they're not a Hollywood couple. They're very real and very in love."

The inaugural South Carolina College All-Star Bowl will be played on Saturday, March 23, at North Greenville University, and Meals on Wheels organizations from across the state of South Carolina will benefit. The gridiron showdown will feature football players preparing to enter the NFL draft who played high school or college football in South Carolina.
The game will establish annual bragging rights in the state, featuring an Upstate vs. Lowcountry matchup. It's also a final chance for players to showcase their talents to media and scouts before the draft in April. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m., and the game will be televised in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia on My40 and its affiliates, including WTAT Fox 24 locally.
The Lowcountry team will be coached by College Hall of Fame member Willie Jeffries and mentored by Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers. Every college and university south of I-20 will be represented by at least one player.
General admission tickets are $15 (use discount code GA for $3 off) while VIP tickets are $150 (use discount code VIP2013 for $50 off). VIP tickets include an in-game tailgating experience and the opportunity to watch the game right from the sidelines, as well as an after party featuring entertainment by the Blue Dogs. Tickets can be purchased online at www.sccollegeallstarbowl.com or at the gate.
Locally, The Kickin' Chicken restaurant in Mount Pleasant will host a free Watch Party to benefit Meals on Wheels. Guests are invited to help cheer on the Lowcountry team, and 10 percent of all receipts turned in during the game will be donated in support of the organization's meal delivery programs.
This event is one of many activities supporting March for Meals, a nationwide campaign to bring attention to senior hunger. East Cooper Meals on Wheels delivers meals to an average of 285 homebound residents a day at no charge. The organization relies heavily on donations from the community and volunteers to sustain its programs. You can learn more at www.ecmow.org.

Animal abuse: Whose side are you on?
Animal abuse: Whose side are you on?
If you are an active online agriculturalist (or "agvocate" as it is termed in pro-agriculture Twitter and Facebook circles like #AgChat), you have probably realized that the New York Times and its associated editorial board is often more foe than friend. On Tuesday, the NYT editorial board gave another big finger shake towards animal agriculture.
The issue this time is proposed legislation to "make undercover investigations in factory farms, especially filming and photography, a crime," in Iowa, Florida, and Minnesota.
The New York Times editorial begins:
Hiding the Truth about Factory Farms
A supermarket shopper buying hamburger, eggs, or milk has every reason, and every right, to wonder how they were produced. The answer, in industrial agriculture, is "behind closed doors," and that's how the industry wants to keep it.
You can read the full editorial at http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/27/opinion/27wed3.html. They continue on to say that agriculture's "big guns" are trying to "hide factory-farming conditions."
They end with:
Factory farming confines animals in highly crowded, unnatural, and often unsanitary conditions. We need to know more about what goes on behind those closed doors, not less.
Of course, I would disagree with the use of "factory farming" and the claim of "highly crowded, unnatural and often unsanitary conditions." But, I think the real question is, what are our goals? It seems that every check-off board, government agency, and dairy princess will tell you to get to know where your food comes from. The USDA's latest tagline is "Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food."
The fact of the matter is animal abuse is wrong. However, videotaping animal abuse for weeks without turning it in is also wrong. The lawmakers (and lobbyists/organizations behind them) sponsoring these bills have the right ends in mind, but the means may need to change.
Let's say you're videotaping a farm undercover, presumably legally. You find that the farm is doing nothing wrong, and, therefore, an animal rights group never releases your videotape. No problem, right?
The problem only comes in when the videographer witnesses something bad. The bigger problem would be if the videographer convinces workers to abuse animals. In the most recent video of animal abuse, the videographer allegedly participated in the abuse of animals, as well.
Only the legislators in those respective states know the fate of this proposed legislation. In pro-agriculture state like Iowa, it might have a chance. In most places, I would guess the bills, as written, will soon fizzle out. But let's look at what we're really trying to combat.
No professional livestock or crop producer wants animals or land abused. If you have humane standard operating procedures (written down) and train your employees to follow them, any undercover activist who persuades your employees to do something abusive should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
The New York Times is asking for exactly what we want to give them, the opportunity for consumers to know their food. Like it or not, in this instance we're actually all on the same team. Free speech should always trump business interests. Let's continue to invite the public in rather than try to keep the activists out.

Apple loves to brag about numbers, so it should come as no
surprise that the boys from Cupertino are overjoyed by the news that the newly
launched Mac App Store crossed the one million
downloads mark in just 24 hours.
"We're amazed at the incredible response the Mac App
Store is getting," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Developers have
done a great job bringing apps to the store and users are loving how easy and
fun the Mac App Store is."
The Mac App Store provides users a simplified way of
searching for, purchasing, and installing OS X applications. Anyone that is
familiar with the App Store for the iPhone/iPod touch/iPad would feel right at
home using the complimentary service for his or her MacBook, MacBook Pro, or
MacBook Air.
Interestingly enough, even though Apple's Mac App Store
seems to be off to a good start, it still has it problems. Many users were
getting an "error
100" message when trying to access the store early yesterday. The only way to clear
the message for many users was to Log Out of their current session of OS X and
log back in.
Even more troubling is that fact that some paid apps can
be easily pirated by downloading the .dmg files from the internet and using
a "purchase" receipt from a free app.
quote: All I am doing is pointing out that if you think all most people mostly use the iPad for is web browsing you are far from reality.
quote: Actually the iPad is also used as a paperweight until is brought out for guests to go "oooh" and "ahhh" as the owner has long been bored with its gimmicky lack of function. Oh, but it's got the form!

Drugging and Driving
There are many reasons why one might find it preferable not to drive an automobile: For one, it's expensive (gas, insurance, repairs, and tickets). It pollutes the environment. And it's dangerous. Based on data from the Federal Highway Administration, there are over 6 million auto accidents in the United States every year on average. And around 40, 000 of those accidents result in people being killed by people driving under the influence of alcohol.
A new review from Australian researchers provides another reason to hop on the bus or train rather than get behind the wheel. The study looked at the association between dangerous driving and taking prescription medications. And the results were not very promising, finding that users of many prescription medications are at increased risk for car accidents.
The researchers performed what is called a meta-study, in which all the research that can be located pertaining to a given topic and meeting certain criteria of validity and reliability are rolled into one mega study in an attempt to achieve maximal statistical power. Two different types of studies were examined:
1. Epidemiological studies. These are studies of patterns of association between prescription drugs and driving accidents based on real-life data coming from a variety of sources. There are several advantages and drawbacks to these kinds of studies and Wikipedia is a good place to get some background. One of the major drawbacks of epidemiological studies is that they are correlational; in other words, it's difficult to say one thing caused another, but merely that they occurred together. One can't control for all of the possible confounding variables that could be the true source of the relationship between variables.
2. Experimental Studies. These are controlled studies that allow researchers to explore causal relationships between variables. Again, wiki is a good place to go for a primer. The advantage of experimental studies is that if they're designed correctly, one can explore causality but the drawback is that they lack "ecological validity"; that is, they may not represent "real world" conditions.
The over all goal of a metastudy is to ascertain whether data from numerous sources, and from both epidemiological and experimental studies, converge on the same conclusions.
Several classes of prescription drugs were examined:
1. Benzodiazepine: these include drugs such as diazepam, flurazepam, flunitrazepam and nitrazepam. They're commonly prescribed for generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, Insomnia, seizures and alcohol withdrawal.
2. Non benzo hypnotics: Includes drugs like pentobarbital. These are frequently prescribed for insomnia.
3. Antidepressants, which can be divided into two classes: SSRIs and TCAs. SSRIs include drugs like Lexapro, Prozac, and Celexa. TCAs, or trycylic antidepressants, include drugs like mipramine (Tofranil) and maprotiline (Ludiomil).
4. Anxiolytics (Anti Anxiety drugs)
5. Opioids
For those interested in the details, please consult the study. I'll just be presenting a simplified summary of the findings. But before I get there, just a couple of quick thoughts. Meta studies can often be difficult to interpret. Particularly for a topic such as this, where there are so many confounding variables, such as a huge variety of different types of drug, varying range of dose, the problem that those on medication also have depression, anxiety, and other disorders (making it difficult to parse out the effects of the drug alone), tolerance effects, age and gender effects, the possibility that the epidemiological studies only include the worst cases (only accidents that resulted in injury), and so on. It becomes very difficult to make conclusive or generalizable statements about the findings. Some researchers are opposed to meta studies for that very reason. That being said, the evidence here does seem to have reasonably converged toward a handful of conclusions. Keeping the limitations in mind, here they are:
1. Benzodiazepine users show 60-80% increased risk of traffic accidents. Drivers responsible for causing an accident are 40% more likely to be positive for benzos than those who are not responsible. Elderly users of benzodiaepines show decreased risk (versus non-elderly).
2. Benzodiazepine plus alcohol users show 7.7 fold increase in risk for traffic accidents
The 2- to 3-fold increase in accident risk associated with … long-acting benzodiazepines and zopiclone is equivalent to what has been observed with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.05-0.08 g/dL,[100,101] which is above the legal limits for driving in most countries…
The authors recommend that anyone prescribed diazepam should be urged not to drive for the first four weeks of treatment.
3. Anxiolytics seems to impair drivers independent of the drug's half life. (A half life is the duration of action of a drug and indicates the period of time required for the drug in the body to be reduced in half.)
4. Impairment caused by hypnotics tends to be related to the drug's half life.
For hypnotic medication, an option for prescribers is to avoid these hypnotics (flurazepam, flunitrazepam, nitrazepam and zopiclone) if patients are engaged in driving. Relatively safer alternatives would be shorter acting hypnotics, such as triazolam, temazepam, zolpidem and zaleplon, which were not found to cause driving impairment, at least in experimental studies (although there is evidence that some of the drugs are associated with increased accident risk)…
5. As far as antidepressants go, no clear distinction emerged between sedative and non-sedative subclasses (according to epidemiological studies). One major confounding variable in the studies examined is depression itself, as cognitive and psychomotor deficits are associated with depression alone. Furthermore, antidepressants might interact differently depending on stage of treatment, e.g. effects of antidepressants take one to two weeks to appear, so driving may be even more impaired over this time period than depression alone or after drug effects kick in.
Sedative antidepressants probably lead to worse driving for the first 3-4 weeks, and until tolerance to sedative effects increases and depression lifts. This is supported by some experimental evidence. (Patient groups with sedative/non-sedative antidepressants improved their driving skills after a few weeks). Epidemiological studies suffer from the confound of comparing groups on anti-depressants (people with depression) with those not on anti-depressants (people who don't have depression) and are therefore of limited utility.
6. Opioids – There weren't enough studies of opioids and driving to make any conclusions.
I wasn't able to locate data indicating how many people in the US are currently taking the drugs mentioned in this study. What I did find was that antidepressants (many of which are probably sedatives) are the most popular prescription drug for adults aged 20 to 59 in the US. And the most recent annual data (from the CDC) suggests that 48% of Americans took at least one prescription drug in the past month. This suggests the possibility that the number of those driving under the influence of cognitively-impairing prescription drugs is likely to be in the millions country wide. Cause for concern? Perhaps. Prescription drugs are certainly not becoming any less popular, and I'm certainly glad to live in a city that provides alternative transportation options. Then again I often bike in that city, and mildly sedated depressive or anxious drivers might be the least of my worries (cab drivers and delivery trucks being a much larger concern).

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — Recently a small but hardy group of Lake Tahoe School parents and I met for the very first Parents' Book Group. Using The Parents We Mean to Be, by Richard Weissbourd, as our springboard, we quickly branched into all sorts of related topics that concern all parents.
The book, which stresses the ways and times that parents end up giving messages that are different from those we intend, helped us refocus when we needed assistance. The fact is, pretty much everything we do as parents carries a message, and all contributions to the discussion were welcome. It didn't matter at all that only a couple of participants had read the entire book, so if that is what kept you from attending, please don't let it deter you in the future!
Our next book group — open to any and all parents in the Lake Tahoe Basin — is: Friday, Oct. 26 (8-9:30 a.m.) Your Brain at Work at Work: Strategies for Overcoming Distraction, Regaining Focus, and Working Smarter All Day Long, by David Rock. Please plan to join us. Its messages are very different from those of Richard Weissbourd and equally important and pertinent.
One of Weissbourd's greatest concerns is how many modern parents seem to stress the notion that their children's "happiness" should be their highest priority. He has discovered a significant reduction in parents who emphasize to their children the value of being good, morale, empathetic community citizens. He — like those of us in the book group — want our children to become knowledgeable and confident.
We want them to end up in life pursuing dreams and following passions, secure in their education and abilities. We want them to know they are loved and to love in return, even as they take on appropriate independence at each stage in their lives. We know, on one level at least, that we adults are the models to which our children look.
Last week I listened to many of our 5th-8th graders give candidate speeches for student council positions. The election process, including speeches, is only for students and faculty (part of that independence process), but had any of the book group parents been present, they would have witnessed how very different Lake Tahoe School students are from the students about which Weissbourd worries in his book.
Every candidate, from the six 5th graders running for class rep to the two student council president aspirants, talked about (1) what they have learned in school about the role of community in their lives; (2) the importance of giving back; (3) the value of listening to and learning from others; (4) their qualities as people that would assist them in collaborating and working productively with the students and adults at school.
They were, in short, magnificent. They talked about the Lake Tahoe School honor code, which stresses honesty, integrity, and respect. The audience, including our kindergarteners, listened attentively and respectfully. Even our young ones are tuned in to leadership when they see it, and they respond with appropriate maturity.
People move to Lake Tahoe and Incline Village for a number of reasons. Prime among many is the opportunity to raise children in an environment that remains a touch less "sophisticated" in a genuine, down-to-earth way than most urban and suburban areas. Parents are less in a hurry to see their children grow up.
We want them to mature at a much more natural/traditional rate than has become the norm, at least on television and in the movies. Our children are not so much sheltered as they are allowed to explore at their own speed and one prescribed by their parents. In the end, many parents in Incline have far more time to spend with their children than they would (or did) living in a city.
As author James Baldwin once wrote, "Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them." In order to become the parents we mean to be, we must never forget that the children around us are watching and listening carefully. The good news is that, in this environment, parents are present to provide the right messages.

Yes, is there an option to get the slides? it will be really great
@moran: Got any clue regarding the slides' availability?
Very great talk! It will be perfect if slides are available.
thanks guys.....this is very useful!
Microsoft Virtual Academy has these same videos and the presentations.
In this video you suggest running Windows8 Pro as a VM is not a good idea as the phone emulator also needs Hyper-V; meaning you would have a VM inside a VM. Well it may be debatable on whether or not it is a good idea to run a VM within a VM, but it is certainly possible. I am running Windows8 Pro as a VM and it also runs Hyper-V with VS2012 phone emulation. Admittedly, I needed to edit config files and setup my VM processor as a dual core; but it does work.
Maybe im in the wrong place, i tought this videos were to show developers how to build apps for windows phone. I know how to write C#, ibe written code for windows for years, but i want to know how to write windows phone apps!
But you just layout some "principles" and then skip ahead to the completed code ("the next iteration") without any guidance or explaining on how to do it, because "it would be tedious"!?
How im i supposed to learn how things are done in windows phone, if you dont show anything because "its tedious"?
Maybe im supposed to watch another set of videos before this ones?
Awesome Videos Thanks for sharing..
Is there any way that we can emulate camera flash in the emulator ?
Question- I have windows 8 already on my phone
already.The problem im having is when I go to internet The page is blank said need sever and what should i put it goes on google and live fine, I've put ever thing i know to, does any one what to put for the SERVER? Thank You?
good lockinh
Thanks 4 Sharing :)

The fate of an iconic Catholic church on Buffalo's East Side appears gloomy. A long-awaited structural analysis indicates the building needs as much as $12.4 million in repairs.
St. Ann's Church at Broadway and Emslie, shut down for the past year after being deemed a potential safety hazard, cannot be opened again without the costly fixes.
"Unfortunately, until the critical work could be done, the worship space is not available," said the Rev. Roy T. Herberger, pastor of SS. Columba & Brigid Parish, which is responsible for maintaining St. Ann's.
Herberger was scheduled to meet Wednesday evening with members of a small committee that has been working for years to keep the church open.
The report identified deferred maintenance and several questionable design issues as major factors behind the deterioration of the church, which was built in 1886.
"What you're seeing is a structure that is saying, 'I've done the best I can do,' " said Hank Balling of Arbour Construction Management, which the diocese hired along with Siracuse Engineers to conduct the analysis. "There's some serious work there to be done."
The most pressing issues include:
• Fixing gutter leaks that resulted in water intruding into the church's masonry walls, causing water damage to interior walls and windows.
• Repointing failed masonry joints and replacing broken face stones.
• Reconstructing large areas of both towers. The mortar that is supposed to bind stones together has disintegrated into sand, making them essentially "dry stacked." In addition, about 30 percent of the stones were laid incorrectly, with their grains running vertically instead of horizontally, resulting in cracking and water infiltration.
The church's west tower is particularly hazardous.
"Because of the widespread nature of the problems with the west tower, there is a real possibility large portions of the face stone and corner buttresses could fall onto the low roof of the side aisle. Such a large collapse would certainly shatter enough of the wood roof to result in stones falling into the church seating area," the report noted.
The church – which features one of the largest sanctuaries in the city, intricately carved woodwork and massive German-made stained-glass windows – is considered an architectural gem.
St. Ann's parish was merged with SS. Columba & Brigid in 2007, as part of a massive diocesan restructuring of parishes that shuttered several dozen churches across Western New York.
St. Ann's Church remained open as a "temporary worship site" until former Bishop Edward U. Kmiec ordered it closed in 2011.
A parishioner appeal to the Vatican delayed the closure, but a preliminary investigation in 2012 of the building's condition revealed safety concerns, prompting Kmiec to suspend all operations at the church.
On the low end, the repairs would cost about $8.2 million, the study found.
By comparison, proponents of a proposal to move St. Gerard Church from Buffalo to Norcross, Ga., where a thriving parish would reuse the building, estimate the cost of deconstructing, transporting and rebuilding at $16 million.
The plan for St. Gerard has been in the fundraising stage for more than four years.
Repairs to St. Ann's would have to be paid with grants and private gifts, probably from outside of Western New York, said Herberger.
"It definitely would not come from parish funds or funds from the diocese," he said.
Even if the money surfaced, it would take years to complete the work at St. Ann's.
Bishop Richard J. Malone has yet to decide on future steps to take with the church.

Ko Htay Kywe, a prominent pro-democracy activist who was imprisoned by the Burmese government more than 20 years ago, will speak at 1 p.m. Sunday at Ujima Theater Co., 545 Elmwood Ave.
In 1988, Ko Htay Kywe became an early organizer in the widespread protests against Burmese military ruler Ne Win. The protests culminated in a general strike that began on Aug. 8, 1988, which is how the " '88 Uprising" in Burma got its name. In 1991, the military annulled the results of an election that Ko Htay Kywe had won. Along with other opposition leaders, he was arrested and giving a 15-year prison sentence. He was released in 2004. Ko Htay Kywe was again convicted, along with 13 other pro-democracy activists in 2008, and was released in January.
Local Burmese community activists will meet with Ko Htay Kywe to discuss human rights in Burma and the status of political prisoners in that country.

GOP to pick new council candidate
May 10, 2013
The Salem Republican Central Committee will select a new candidate to run for President of Council since Rick Drummond announced he's withdrawing from the race. "I am exploring my options....
At Large Councilman K. Bret Apple was certified as the DemocratIC candidate for Salem President of Council.

Actually, what is written IS grammatically correct. Mr. Apple is a candidate (noun) of the Democratic Party. Look up the definition in any accepted mainstream dictionary and you'll see the definition of "Democrat" and you're likely to see it says it is a noun, describing a member of the Democratic Party. For example, you would not say "Mr. Apple, a Democratic, is a candidate for President of City Council..." You would say "Mr. Apple, a Democrat, is a candidate for President of City Council..." In this case, I believe Ms. Greier used the correct grammar to describe Mr. Apple as the Democrat (noun) candidate.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Actually, Salemfan, you're wrong. "Candidate" is the noun, "Democratic" would be the adjective. Even in your own example, you incorrectly label "Democrat" as a noun, which it isn't if the word "candidate" is following it. Not that it makes a lot of difference, but grammatically the article was incorrect, as was your explanation.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said doctors are seeing the earliest flu season in nearly a decade.
A doctor at St. Luke's Hospital said his office ordered more than 600 doses of vaccine this year and they're already gone.
Dr. Brent Beasley, an internist who specializes in geriatric medicine, said he encourages all of his patients to get vaccinations.
"You really have to watch older people when they get the flu because it can get worse and it can progress a lot worse," he said.
In Missouri, there are already more than 3,100 confirmed flu cases around the state. It was only about 218 this same time last year.
"It looks like we're seeing cases earlier this year than we did last year and starting to see a trend upward," Beasley said. "We don't yet know what's going to happen with that trend or what it's going to look like throughout the rest of the year."
Flu season can start as early as October and typically peaks in January or February.
No one can predict how severe a flu season can be.
"We're right at the tip of this, so we don't know what it's going to be over the next few months," Beasley said.
While the vaccine is only 60 percent effective, experts hope that someone who gets the vaccine and still catches the flu will have a less severe case.
"The other benefit in making sure the healthy younger population is vaccinated is to try to protect our older population and older family members from picking it up from us," Beasley said.
He said the good news about the early flu season is that this season's flu vaccine seems to cover the predominant strain of the flu that's going around this year.
