@TheRockyH: Just to chime in here, a bit late... video.ch9.ms is mapped through a CDN (Akamai), which has really broad distribution in terms of edge nodes. It definitely sounds like you are seeing a consistent issues, but the lack of a CDN isn't the reason... please keep posting if you have any more information.
@WinHUGR: Great idea... we moved from Bing as our search engine, which was easy to implement and easy to use, but hard to control how it decided to sort search results... to the Azure Search (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/search/) and at the moment we are only sending entries and sessions to it (so basically our video posts). I'd like to extend this with people (niners, speakers, etc.), events/shows/blogs/series and the forum ... just hasn't reached the top of our list yet
Thanks for the feedback!
I'm sure we'll do more on both of these in the future, but in the meantime I've done a bit of tag cleanup and both of these are now visible, one as Apache Cordova, the other as Xamarin
@figuerres: So we were building the Xbox One app, and we had it nearly finished, but found the certification process was bringing up all sorts of very specific process issues that we had no experience with. End result was we had it nearly finished as of Build 2014, but we had to pull Cara off of it and back onto the site (hence all the player updates!). We've asked a company with a lot of experience with the certification process to take over guiding it through and fixing the small issues that are found, so that really *should* happen soon.
As far as a universal app, that's hard to say when we'll do that... at the moment the Windows 8 app is WinJS, the WP app is C#/XAML and the Xbox One app is html/javascript. The shared code is mostly just a wrapper around the OData calls into Channel 9, with no logic of its own, so rewriting the apps to use a common core doesn't seem worth it *at this point*
@figuerres: We're unhappy with the speed of changes ourselves, but I'd hate to say zero... look at all the player changes in just the past couple of months, we are working with the Machine Learning team on a recommendation engine, we launched a Xbox 360 app and working really hard on features like easy live streaming from Microsoft folks in other parts of the world.
I'd love to hear ideas for community collaboration though, please suggest away
"Comments have been closed since this content was published more than 30 days ago..."Nov 24, 2014 at 2:04AM
@UncleMike: There are two reasons why we do this, but that doesn't mean either of them are valid reasons for our decision... happy to discuss.
First, as you said, authors don't follow or reply to discussions on older videos, so we felt that users were mostly posting comments into a void.
Second, before we had this in place, the vast majority of comments on older videos were spam. The % was so high of all comments made on old videos, that we felt just turning them off was the right path.
I'd hate to think we were stifling discussion though, any chance you could give an example of a video, and the discussion you wanted to start? Might help to convince us that the risk of more spam is outweighed by the content that would be added to the site's discussions.
@Kryptos: We haven't had much time to spend on it, sorry... really just two devs working on site features, only one was working on the Xbox One app... also the person behind the player on the site and the Windows 8 app (and many more things that are not as visible). We will see what we can do to raise it in our priority list though! We'd like to see it too!
@ZippyV: they are coming, I believe they had two events back to back so the videos will appear after the 2nd ends
@casual0bsrvr: I'm guessing you want to talk to a television station of some sort... we are a tech video site about Microsoft technologies... sorry for the confusion. Get that the name is confusing, but it actually has a nice explanation involving United Airlines, the 'behind the scenes' experience and all sorts of other interesting facts.
@TheRickshaw: That was present in IE before our latest update (it was a right-click option I believe), but I guess we've taken it away... will see if the dev team has any ideas

IBM Vt layoffs estimated at more than 300July 04,2013
IBMs layoffs put
at more than 300
MONTPELIER The states labor commissioner estimated that IBM laid off more than 300 Vermont workers in its recent round of job cuts, but a firmer total should be known by the end of next week.
Annie Noonan said IBM is required to notify the Labor Department within 24 hours of job separations becoming final, which is set to happen July 12.
She said by then the state should have a reliable figure of the total job cuts made public last month.
IBM has a policy of not releasing layoff totals.
Noonan said her estimate of about 310 layoffs is based on the number of IBM employees who have been showing up at state-run seminars on seeking new work.MORE IN This Just InMORRISVILLE Overtime magic from Chloe Schiff and Maralina Moore gave the Solons a huge...

The perfect place to soothe the frazzled soul: much more than a cottage, this lovely, architect-designed waterfront home commands a spectacular view of the Strait of Georgia. It overlooks safe, sandy Morning Beach, Lion Islet and the mountains of the mainland. At night the lights of Vancouver glitter on the horizon. The very private mature garden blends seamlessly with the surrounding forest. Two decks, including one at the water's edge, and a sheltered patio overlooking an evergreen garden complete the picture. A magical landscaped stone staircase leads to the shore.
The house offers 2000 square feet of comfortable furnishings and original art work, in a blissful relaxed setting. The master bedroom with queen-size bed and ensuite bathroom has tree-filtered views into the bay, while the second bedroom with twin beds has a sliding door onto a secluded deck surrounded by forest and ocean views.
Curl up by the woodburning stove. While away your stay here watching the seasonal array of wildlife in the bay; otters, seals, sea lions, hummingbirds, eagles, kingfishers, and the occasional orca. Or for those days when you need more stimulation, explore the island and its surrounding waters by kayak, horseback, bike or scooter, all readily available to rent on this jewel of the southern Gulf Islands.

Wow! We had an amazing time, one of our best family vacations ever. You have done a fabulous job creating a warm and loving place. Thank you again.
Our family enjoyed a wonderful weekend get-away at this beautiful waterfront home on Galiano Island.
The weather was glorious, the view from the property amazing, and we especially enjoyed watching the many otters, seals, bald eagles and herons. An amble along the rocks and water's edge was a pleasurable way to explore and have a leg-stretch.
The cottage itself is perfect, well-planned with huge windows giving spectacular views of the ocean and beyond, and the owners have thought of everything that might be needed.
It's an easy walk from a restaurant if you feel like eating out, or provide for yourself in the well-equipped kitchen.
We would certainly recommend the Anchorage to anyone wanting a relaxing and peaceful stay on this Gulf Island, and we hope to return some day in the future.
We spent a few days here in late May and were delighted to find the property to be even more comfortable and relaxing than expected. An oceanfront home with a great summer cottage vibe. Well equipped, super clean, comfortable, spacious and private. The property is very well maintained and obviously loved and cared for by the owners. An excellent and easy getaway from the city. Thanks C&T for the visit, we certainly hope to come back!
Two of the most wonderful vacation weeks we have experienced. Upon arrival we were most impressed with the:-
- extreme cleanliness of the home.
- magnificent view, which took our breath away,
- everything was supplied that we could ever need,
- the owners (brief conversation) conveyed the feeling that they wanted us
to have a great two weeks.
- there were no clocks in living room, suggesting that this was
a place to forget the busyness of the world across the water
and relax.
We have no hesitation in recommending this well appointed home and
its beautiful location for your consideration.
Two grateful and very relaxed vacationers
Guy & I have stayed in many cabins & B&B's in the Gulf Islands & Sunshine Coast and let me tell you that The Anchorage was fabulous!!! Extremely clean, all the comforts of home, cosey bed, fantastic view and lovely private backyard ;))) We lucked out with the weather Sept. 5-10'11 sunny every day, a bit windy at times but perfect for hiking in the morning and our hardest chore in the afternoons was repositioning the lounge chairs to stay in the sun for our relaxing reads. We took our own small propane Bbq as we didn't want to deal / briquettes – only Bbq'd one night as we ended up going out for a 2:00ish lunch ... good burger/fries @ the Hummingbird Pub and tried the Marina Grill but too many wasps to really enjoy our point 5 lunch. We're delighted with late evening visits from deer and laughed at the 'vocals' from the sea lions, sea otters were so cute but was somewhat disappointed to miss the whales. Would rate this beautiful home (not really a cabin) as a 9 as we couldn't go swimming in the ocean right out front of the house (would be nice if they had a small walk out wharf) and would have been a 10 if there was a hot tub in the back yard. Great communication from the owner's and will definitely book again. Thanks so much to Christine & Thomas for sharing their beautiful home. Was surprised to see Carol & Mel had their place up for sale, didn't easily run into them so am hoping they are both OK. Take care & sending JOY your way, Margo & Guy
We stayed here 10 years ago and still rave about it. Book, you'll find out.
Looking at pictures and reading descriptions of vacation rentals over the internet can make one very sceptical. We figured if what we saw was 75% accurate, we would enjoy ourselves. Well, we were shocked! What we found was a beautiful and cozy home that had everything you would need for a short stay on this island. A fully equiped kitchen, nice furnishing, wood burning stove with plenty of wood, plenty of towels and toiletteries. Above all, the views were spectacular. It was everything we had wanted and went beyond our expectations. I would say that the only thing it was lacking was a propane BBQ, just a simple old fashioned type, which would require us to bring charcoal/lighting fluid, which we are too lazy these days to do, but they had fully disclosed that information ahead of time.
This lovely place would be perfect for a small family or simply for a couple, like us. The value was outstanding and I would love to return to this perfect home.

well, it looks like the DivBee satellite will have a hard case, and the servo output for the larger planes will be a more serious hard mountable pcb style thing...
...but for labels, for any I want to keep around, I just wrap 1" of transparent scotch tape around it and call it good.
you've seen my 104 install with the Nanos up in the turtledeck and just the signal wires being connected?... well it sounds like this will be the norm for XPS receiver setups, the signal management will be separated from the servo output, and it will only need a single standard servo extension between the receiver satellite/snorkel/whatever (AKA: "Rx SSW" unit) unit and the servo output unit. So you can put the antenna in the best possible location, and the servo connections in the most convenient location.
The Nano can actually handle all 16 channels of input, so only one Nano will be needed even on the giant stuff if using these servo output/channel-expander boards... and in sexy fashion only one wire up to the Nano. When the DivBee version of the SSW unit arrives, then it will gain its superior range, ability to handle the telemetry stream, a plastic case, etc.
...and, even better... it means that a setup with a Nano as the SSW unit can be swapped out for a DivBee SSW if one needed to upgrade for telemetry or some reason without disturbing the servo output setup. I seriously love this whole pattern, totally superior.
Jim's mentioned that it could possibly even talk Futaba's SBus or Spek's module output... so a Futaba SBus receiver or a Spek module could take on the role of the SSW unit.

Not a product idea (well it actually sort-of is...) add to the website all of the possible configurations and setup instructions discussed in these forums. An expanded user manual if you will. Include stuff like the fact that you can't re-cover the nano in shrink tubing...at least not the portion between the antennae. Also, i would write up a thorough technical discussion of the product to dispel common misconceptions - e.g. nano antenna length.
XPS RX technology sells itself once the tech capabilities are explained.
Some of us may be modelers but we're really not that astute on things electronic. A manual written like the ones included by mainstream manufacturers might be helpful to those who want the best but might not understand what the heck Jim Drew is talking about.
I agree. Most people don't need or understand the real technical details. What they actually use is a rather simple explanation they might remember. Difficult in most circumstances to even get someone to read the manual.
Take a look at advertisements. That is just about all that most people can understand and retain.
Any deeper explanation would just be for the few tech heads out there that do read manuals. Those people are the ones that explain it to the rest of the group and recommend the gear to the rest. They do need a reasonable explanation of the system.
However, many, many people will still only believe what they read in the advertisements.

Jim, I have another product idea: a full featured gear door sequencer in the $20-30 range that would do type 1 and 2 sequencing, have gear to gear delay, support servo speed commands from the radio or have it on-board the unit, and support from the radio or include on the board end point adjustments for the doors and even maybe for proportional servos.
The Jomar ($36) doesn't support or perform EPA, and the Assan($18) is wonky to use and does not support or perform on it's own servo speed. And the next price point up (jet something or rather) has crazy pricing. Think you could cook us up something - after Rxs and radio of course.

That would be great. I really think there is a market for that in that price range. Another nifty touch would be to include a separate power bus so that the user could run a separate RX battery or Bec for the retracts.
And, while I'm thinking about this, what would be totally bitchin' for the jet guys would be an integratable adjustable electronic air valve bus for tri-gear. Much neater install and more reliable.

Well, I have the fastest electric jet... actually two of them, one of which should be in the 260MPH range, the other was radar'd at 223.9MPH in a bad pass with dead batteries.. I have a Skymaster F-18, Graupner BAE Hawk, Skymaster F-15, Cermark F-16, Byron F-15, Byron F-86, Tom Cook F-4, Jet Legend T-45, Jet Legend F5, three Savex L-39s (one with Wren44, others with EDF), Habu-32, Habu, a bunch of little 50mm jets, and a dozen or so various turbine and EDF kits in boxes. I also have a few warbirds, and some 3D aircraft. For turbines I have a Graupner G160 and G80, Jetcat SX (160), Wren 44, and Lambert micro-turbine.

Amazingly, these were but four of possibly a half dozen fully qualified players who failed to make the 2006 Phillie Top Ten Prospect list and from where I sit this can't be all bad for a team that has continually been mentioned as having one of the worst pharm systems in the entire baseball industry. Need more names? How about young slugger, Jake Blalock, he of the great baseball pedigree and possible 25 home run per season talent. Or lefty J.A. Happ, merely one of the more polished lefties to enter the Phillie system in years and who scouts compare favorably to a young Randy Wolf.
This begs the question...if minor league standouts like Victorino, Floyd, Blalock, Ruiz, Roberson and Happ failed to make the cut, just who were the crown jewels to make the "Ten Most Wanted List?" In all, the list includes three hurlers, four infielders, two outfielders and one catcher. The list also tends to confirm that the real strength of the pharm system lies in the bottom half of the organization while the surprise may be that a system thought short on middle infielders may indeed be deeper than was first thought.
If youth is indeed served to those who wait, then Prospect 10 will wait patiently to be one day served. Eighteen year old Edgar Garcia is a right-hander with poise, talent and a fastball that sits at between 91-94 MPH consistently. The Phils could barely contain their glee when scouts Sal Agostinelli and Wil Tejada signed the teenage phenom late in October of 2004. The Phils made no secret of the fact that they viewed Garcia as a future number one or number two type starting pitcher and his 4-4 record with a 3.56 ERA in 10 starts in the Gulf Coast League did nothing to dim their spirits. Watch for Garcia to advance slowly through the system, but if he remains healthy, he will one day be a starting pitcher with the Phightins.
It will surprise no one if Garcia is tossing his deceptive slants to catcher Jason Jaramillo when he makes it to the City of Brotherly Love. Jaramillo, a standout defensive catcher, comes in as Prospect Nine and is on a steady course to make it to Philadelphia sometime in early 2008. Drafted in the second round in 2004, Jaramillo hit a steady .304 while demonstrating the best defensive ability of any catcher in the Phils' system. Jaramillo will probably never be an offensive juggernaut at the big league level, but he has starting catcher stamped all over him and should combine with the more experienced Ruiz to form a top notch catching duo in Philadelphia before too long.
From bust to bust out, that is the story of Prospect Eight, second baseman Tim Moss, the top Phillie pick in the third round of the 2003 June Amateur Draft, Moss and his early struggles have been well chronicled and it appeared the Phils had made a colossal mistake in taking the former University of Texas All-American with their top pick. He struggled all of his rookie season and well into his sophomore season until it was discovered that his problems were illness related and that medication could cure what ailed him.
Moss suddenly became a different player beginning in July of '04 and has prospered ever since, to once again give the Phils hope that he may one day provide the club with top of the order speed and middle infield depth. He even displayed surprising power this season at Clearwater, with 17 home runs to go along with his 28 stolen bases. Even more surprising, scouts felt Moss had actually regained the speed he had in college and the Phils eagerly await his upcoming campaign in Reading.
Although he probably will never overtake the slugging Chase Utley at second base, the Phils are buoyed by the fact that middle infielders with pop and speed are highly valued and it would not be surprising to watch Moss be an excellent trading chip for a future pitching prospect or corner infielder. Another possibility, though remote at best, is a move to center field for the gifted athlete Moss. The Phils have discussed this before and if they someday believe a lineup with both Utley and Moss is deemed imperative, then Moss might trade his infielder's glove for outfield leather.
The Phillies are quite proud of their Australian connection with such standouts as Tim Kennelly and Scott Mitchinson numbering among the Aussie prospects. Still, none rank higher than shortstop Brad Harman, who comes in as Prospect Seven on this season's list. Harman is an offensive standout at shortstop and Phillie scouts think he could easily move to second base if need be. Another in a long list of Phillie .300 hitters at the minor league level, Harman also hit 11 home runs and scored 63 runs in but 105 games for Lakewood in the full season Single A League.
The term "local boy makes good" may someday well apply to Prospect Six, third baseman Mike Costanzo, the top pick in the recent June Amateur Draft of 2005. While it is true that the Phils selected him in the second round, they fully acknowledged that they would have chosen Costanzo in the first round if they had been able to select that high. Costanzo, who grew up a huge Phillies phan, more than justified the pick with a standout power season in short season Batavia.
After a dreadfully slow start, as rookies are wont to have, he came on strong during the final month of the Batavia season to finish with very respectable numbers. Costanzo ended with 11 home runs and 50 RBI in a mere 73 games and hit .274 for the season. He also displayed solid range for a third baseman and gave every indication that he will one day be the regular hot corner player the Phils so desperately covet.
Watch for the collegiate experienced Costanzo to "skip" a league in 2006 and open at Clearwater. If his progress doesn't stall, he will be in Philadelphia sometime in 2008. When he makes it, the chances are excellent that the Phils will have another third baseman to continue the excellent tradition set by the likes of Mike Schmidt and Scott Rolen.
Recognized by scouts as the player with the "highest ceiling" of any athlete in the entire Phillie organization, shortstop Welinson Baez comes in as Prospect Five on this year's top ten chart. The Phils have long suspected that Baez would someday blossom after signing him for $250,000 in August of 2002. Only 21 years of age, Baez struggled at third base in the Gulf Coast League for over two seasons until a promotion to Batavia and a change of positions to shortstop suddenly transformed him from raw tools to raw power almost overnight.
Not only did Baez hit a stunning .324 with solid power numbers with the MuckDogs, but the team played at a .650 winning pace once the talented Baez became their shortstop. In fact, the Batavia club became an offensive powerhouse once Baez settled into the lineup. The Phils still don't wish to rush him but he is more than ready for full season baseball so he should make the Lakewood roster out of spring training next April.
The Phils are talking of moving him back to third base, a switch that seems quite ill-advised. For one thing, Baez was never the player at third that he became at shortstop and with Costanzo all but guaranteed to one day hold down the third base position in Philadelphia it behooves the Phils to leave Baez where he is most likely to excel...shortstop!
Coming in as Prospect Four is the standout righty from Canada, Scott Mathieson, who hurled in Clearwater this season. His numbers are quite deceptive as a weak team betrayed his skills all summer. A 3-8 record masks an impressive 118 strikeouts in but 122 innings of work. Even more impressive, the scouts say he has picked up nearly 10 MPH on his fastball since he turned pro a few years back. Mathieson is expected to pitch at Reading this year and the Phils are still undecided if he will one day convert to a potential bullpen closer or remain in the starting rotation.
Either way, Mathieson ranks as the top Phillie righty in the organization and one that seems destined to one day make his mark at Citizens Bank Park with the Phightin Phils. He just finished a successful stint in Arizona as one of the Phillie representatives in the tough Arizona Fall Instructional League. After starting very strong, Mathieson slumped near the end of the league indicating that he may need some valuable rest before heading for Canada and a spot on the Canadian All-Star team.
Now that slugger Ryan Howard is fully entrenched at the major league level, perhaps the best Phil's minor league position player is Prospect Three, outfielder Michael Bourn. He performed the difficult task of "skipping" a league this past summer, going straight from Lakewood to Double A Reading. Although his average probably suffered from the jump, he more than showed he belonged with a .268 batting average, 38 stolen bases and the strongest outfield arm in the league.
The Phils still believe that Bourn will one day become their everyday lead off hitter while displaying Gold Glove instincts in center field. There is talk of keeping him at Reading to begin the '06 campaign so Chris Roberson can play center field at Scranton. While this move may seem logical for both talented youngsters to be able to perform at the position they both play best, it again seems short sighted and ill-advised.
Bourn showed no awe in Double A and then topped it off with a banner performance in the Arizona Fall League. Hard working and diligent, it seems that he is ready to perform at the Triple A level with a possible call up to Philadelphia by September of 2006. Still, be it Reading or Scranton to open next year, it still seems highly likely that Bourn will be performing in PhillieLand come 2007.
As previously mentioned, Shane Victorino was the International League MVP while Chris Roberson performed with almost equal aplomb at Reading. Yet neither is as highly esteemed by baseball scouts as is Michael Bourn. All are skilled and all play center field. If this was the extent of the Phillie center field riches in the pharm system they would be rich indeed.
Nevertheless there is one that scouts maintain is even more skilled and with a higher ceiling than any of the aforementioned threesome. Prospect Two is 20 year old Greg Golson, the only legitimate "five-tool" player in the entire system. Drafted in the first round as a Texas high school star in '04, Golson excites Phillie personnel throughout the organization with his demeanor and desire for greatness.
The story is still told of Larry Rojas, long time Phillie scout and minor league talent guru. Rojas is known for being quite difficult to impress and has only witnessed five players in his entire career that he felt sure would attain major league super stardom. Hall of Famers Frank Robinson and Mike Schmidt were two of the chosen few while near Hall of Famer Richie Allen and potential future Hall of Famer Scott Rolen are two of the others. The fifth player is Greg Golson and if expectations are high, the talent is real.
Despite an injury marred season, Golson scored 51 runs in only 89 games while stealing 25 bases at Lakewood. The Phils are inclined to have Golson repeat his Lakewood experience to open the '06 campaign but if he starts off strong he will be advanced to Clearwater. At any rate, Greg Golson is a name to remember for phuture Phillie phanatics.
Prospect Number One is a name that almost every Phillie phan knows well...lefty Cole Hamels. The story of Cole Hamels could encompass a novel but suffice it to say that the same overpowering stuff and genuine natural feel for pitching still applies when the name Hamels appears. Though Phillie officials are loath to acknowledge it for public consumption, they felt that had Hamels remained healthy enough to pitch in September the Phils might well have advanced to the playoffs and possibly the World Series.
Yes, Hamels is that good and his numbers for 2005 tell only a small fraction of the story. His combined numbers at Clearwater and Reading were 4-0 with a sub 2.50 ERA and 37 strikeouts in a mere 35 innings of work. Ah, and here is the rub that makes Hamels such a mystery candidate. Though talented as any hurler in minor league baseball, Hamels has found it absolutely impossible to stay healthy since he turned pro in late summer of 2002.
Perhaps no question has more relevance in PhillieLand than this one, "Whither Hamels?" When healthy he remains that ace-in-waiting southpaw that comes along all too rarely. When healthy, his curveball and changeup are the things that make scouts salivate with envy. When healthy, Hamels is a dominating hurler waiting to debut in Philadelphia for at least the next half dozen seasons.
Yet, equally distressing is the very real possibility that Hamels will never hurl a major league game, as injuries and strange ill fortune combine to add his name to the long list of failed "can't miss" prospects. Truth be told, many of Hamels injuries seem almost self inflicted, a combination of youthful enthusiasm and just plain childish behavior. But the Phils realize he is still but 22 years of age and so they are willing to be patient...up to a certain point.
Common sense dictates that this year is the Year of Decision for Hamels. Oh, he will open at Reading, and if he does as well as expected he will soon advance to Scranton. What remains so enticing for Phillie phans is the very real possibility that Hamels could be assisting a staff of Brett Myers, Jon Lieber, Randy Wolf and possibly Gavin Floyd by September if he can remain in one piece. Few doubt his ultimate success if he can just stay healthy.
As Phillie Prospect Number One, perhaps more than any other player, Cole Hamels is the epitome of the Phillie pharm system. Loved for their potential but loathed for their performance, the Phils top to bottom organizational record was the worst in baseball yet still produced such major league ready players as Rookie of the Year Ryan Howard as well as hurlers Robinson Tejeda and Eude Brito.
The path that Cole Hamels follows this upcoming season could well mirror the ultimate fate of the Phillie system and the major league team along with it. If Hamels is once again overcome with injury, the system may well drop to the depths predicted by many minor league baseball doomsayers. If, however, Hamels can remain healthy, he should once and for all display those mysterious and almost magical powers that make him so enticing to Phillie phandom everywhere.
The ultimate question of Hamels provides a fascinating backdrop to what remains an intriguing group of talented young players. Under the direction of new GM Pat Gillick, the pharm system will once again become a priority instead of an afterthought in the upper reaches of management at Citizens Bank Park. Still, Hamels will have much to do with the final answer to what seems a perplexing question..."Is the Phillies minor league Top Tem List a cause for celebration or concern?"

Temporary workers in professional occupations expected to increase
February 24, 1999
More than 2.6 million people were employed in the personnel supply industry in 1996, and the expected growth rate from 1996 to 2006 makes this industry one of the fastest growing in the economy. Employment of temporary workers is expected to increase 53 percent— nearly 1.4 million jobs— 2006, following substantial growth from 1981 to 1996.
[Chart data—TXT]
The most common category of temporary workers is administrative and clerical support occupations. However, professionals, including engineering, managerial, and computer workers, now make up over 11 percent of the personnel supply services industry and growth in demand for these skilled occupations is expected to outpace the growth in demand for temporary clerical positions.
Managerial, professional, and technical personnel may seek temporary work for a variety of reasons, including a desire to supplement their income, reduce the hours they work each week, or find new jobs. Some wish to maintain their incomes or skills between permanent jobs. Others are new to a field or geographic area and take temporary jobs to become better acquainted with that field or area.
These data on projected employment growth by industry are a product of the BLS Employment Projections program. More information can be obtained in "The Changing Temporary Workforce" (PDF 719K), Occupational Outlook Quarterly, Spring 1999.

Sagari Ha (Falling leaves) The Japanese characters used to depict this title are "sagaru" . ("fallen" or "falling") and "ha" ("leaves"). The song is easily recognizable because of the sasabuki blowing technique used frequently by the Nezasa sect of shakuhachi. Sasa are the leaves of the small bamboo bushes or thickets. The technique aims to imitate the sound of the leaves rustling against one another as the wind blows through the thicket. Sagariha was played along with another song, Sagari no Kyoku, during the parade procession of the Gion Matsuri in Kyoto. "Sagaru" is also the word used during the Edo Period (1603-1867) to indicate movement away from the capital (Tokyo) and also used to indicate the direction away from a shrine. Since shrines were often built on hilltops, one would be going downhill (sagaru) when exiting the shrine. The words "sagaru" ("down" or "south") and "agaru" ("up" or "north") are peculiar to Kyoto vocabulary and suggests the origin of this song.

"Mist believed that by giving himself heroic memories, he could become too pure for hell, while still getting what he wanted. Caveat venditor. He did not realize what you have known for years: There is more than one being in the universe who desires souls."This is an inversion of the Deal with the Devil trope. A Bargain With Heaven can usually be distinguished from its more wicked Sister Trope by certain key elements:
- The entity or entities that the character makes the bargain with are not evil and have no malicious intent toward the character.
- There are few if any negative repercussions to the character or those around him. Breaking it, on the other hand...
- Before/after the Bargain is struck, the character must perform some great and noble deed or accept some bizarre code of behavior in exchange for the power or rewards sought.
- So long as the character upholds their side of the bargain, whatever that may be, they appear to be getting more out of it than they put in, and/or it is easy for them to get out of the bargain if that ceases to be the case.
- The bargain is made with the character's eyes wide open to the benefits and drawbacks of the bargain, with good intentions on all sides.

- In the OVA version of Black★Rock Shooter, Mato decide to fuse with/become the eponymous character, in order to save Yomi from the Otherworld. In other versions, the eponymous character is... not quite so nice.
- In The Movie of A Certain Magical Index, Miracle of Endymion, the survival of almost all of the passengers of a crashing space shuttle is treated as this. But for the one who made the wish, Shutaura Sequenzia, it certainly feels like a Deal with the Devil, because the miracle cost the life of her father, the pilot of said shuttle.
- In the The Sandman story "Ramadan", Haroun Al-Rashid makes a bargain with the Prince of Dreams: He offers to sell him his kingdom, a magical version of Arabia straight out of Arabian Nights, that it might live on forever in stories rather than fade away in Real Life. Dream obliges and The Magic Goes Away. Rashid awakes in a mundane version of Baghdad, having no memory of his kingdom having ever been anything more than a mundane, ordinary one. Fast forward two thousand years and we learn that this story is still being re-told, keeping the magical kingdom alive in a fashion.

- In David Eddings' The Belgariad series there are several, justified within the work because the Gods all have a physical presence in the world. The clearest example occurs at the climax of book five, Enchanter's End Game, when Polgara (a powerful sorceress) directly begs Aldur (a God) to restore Durnik (a normal mortal) to life, because she loves him and would marry him. Aldur agrees to try to convince the other Gods to go along with it, as long as Polgara agrees "to live out the rest of her life with no more power than Durnik has" and she willingly consents even while she recognizes that these terms mean that she will lose all of her powers. Except that's not what the Gods do. Instead, they give Durnik sorcerous power equal to hers. They don't mention that part to her and she spends the last fifty pages or so thinking that she's powerless and trying to become accustomed to it, before she finds out the truth in the last few pages.
- The negotiations have an additional bargain in them - the god Mara, whose people (the Marags) were exterminated, refuses to accept. Until Belgarath informs him that there is one still alive. Mara is stunned for a moment, and on hearing she's attracted to the Ulgo Relg, he asks UL (whose people the Ulgos are) for the rights to have the two marry so his people can be restored. Once the deal is made, he gives his approval for the resurrection.

- The Guardians of Sunset in Reflections of Eterna are an order of supernatural warriors defending the known multiverse against the continuous onslaught of otherworldly evil. Before their main citadel, the eponymous fortress of Eterna, fell, they bolstered their ranks by scouting out the toughest badasses of the multiverse and offering them a deal: Ageless Immortality and powers of a Physical God in return for an (eternal) life of service to the multiverse. The main caveat is that by agreeing, the future Guardian must give up all memories of their mortal life, so he can devote himself entirely to his new duties.
- In The Secret of Platform 13, with less than an hour for her kidnapped son to return before the gump will close for nine more years, the Queen promises God that she'll never do anything bad again if he returns. The narration notes that she'd never done anything bad before anyway.
Live-Action TV
- In Game of Thrones, Catelyn Stark never liked Jon Snow. When he was still a baby she prayed to the Seven to take Jon away, then Jon caught a fever, and Catelyn realized that she would let a child die, and prayed to them again to spare him, and she would have him legitimised and love him as one of her own. Jon got better, but Catelyn couldn't keep to her word. Now the Starks are scattered, and her husband is dead. Cat feels she is responsible for everything that has happened to her family because she didn't follow the deal.
Religion and Myth
- The Bible, multiple times. Sometimes, God initiates the bargain.
- The Muslim tradition has the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) literally Bargain with Heaven (or rather in Heaven with God). During the Night Journey (to Jerusalem and Heaven), Muhammad meets the prophets and God, exchanging greetings, etc.... and then God tells him (more or less): "Now to business. These are My commandments regarding prayer..." one of which is "pray fifty times daily." Muhammad says (more or less) "Sure, why not," and goes down, where Moses intercepts him and asks, "So... uh... what did He ask of you?" "Fifty prayers a day." Remembering the pain his own people had keeping 613 mitzvot, Moses said, "That's a bit much. Go up and ask Him to cut it down a bit." And Muhammad does, and then comes down to Moses, who keeps sending him up, until they're down to five prayers a day. Moses tells Muhammad to keep going after that; Muhammad says, "You know what, I'd rather not" and goes home.
- A similar bargain happened in the Old Testament with the cities of Sodom and Ghamora. Originally God would only spare the cities if a hundred good people could be found within, but was eventually bargained down to sparing both cities if even only ten good people could be found. Since the cities were destroyed anyway and only Lott and his family was spared, apparently finding ten good people total out of the population of both cities was too much to hope for.
- Vestal virgins, in theory. They'd serve the goddess for twenty years, getting high social status and more political power than any other woman had in return, and then could leave and live a comfy life. The downside was that, if things went wrong, the politicians would look for a vestal virgin whom they could accuse of having violated the rules, and bury her alive.(But from the point of view of believers, the goddess would of course protect her faithful virgins from wrong accusations ...)
- Catholic nuns in the Middle Ages. Get engaged to Jesus, trade the option of marrying a mortal man for a decent education, next to zero risk of death in childbirth, improved safety from sexual violence and improved medical care. Overall, a pretty good deal.
Tabletop Games
- Dungeons & Dragons:
- In theory, this is how you get to be a paladin.
- The game also features lots of vows and oaths that are usually exceptionally powerful options with a balancing drawback. In third edition, the Vow of Poverty required you to give up all your possessions but gave you enough abilities to mostly balance it out (which is a lot considering how much the game is balanced on the assumption of characters aquiring powerful magic items.)
- A splat introduced a new 'race': the Hellbred. They are people who were extremely evil when they (first) lived, but have done something undeniably good at some point in their life, which means they aren't quite deserving of Hell. They bargained with the judges of souls for one last chance: if they can live a second life full of good deeds, then they will not be tossed to Hell.
- Magic: The Gathering: Multiple people bargain with the gods during Theros block. The most successful is probably Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver, a Humanoid Abomination who got a useful arrangement with Phenax, God of Deception. Elspeth had one until her divine patron, Heliod, stabbed her in the back.
- In GURPS, the Pact limitation on an advantage is most likely either this trope or a Deal with the Devil. It gives a character an advantage (or several of them) in exchange for said character following a code of conduct (represented by self-imposed mental disadvantages), and serves as a discount on the point cost of the advantages it applies to.
- Jean Valjean Les Misérables was once a petty burglar who was caught after stealing silverware from a local bishop. Since he's already on parole and this could mean a much longer sentence back in jail, the bishop lies and tells the police the silverware was a gift. In doing so, he warns Valjean that he bought his soul for God, and afterward the guilt-stricken Valjean changes his ways and becomes an honest man. He mentions this bargain again later in the play during his epic song and Crowning Moment of Awesome, Who am I?
"My soul belongs to God, I know, I made that bargain long ago. He gave me hope when hope was gone, he gave me strength to journey on..."
Video Games
- In the backstory of Avencast: Rise of the Mage, the Kyranians were under threat of extinction due to meddling with Morgath. They were promised (by whom is left ambiguous) that if every remaining Kyranian met him on a single field of battle, Morgath would fall and at least some of the Kyranians would survive.
- In The Binding of Isaac, it is possible to find Angel Rooms after finishing a boss battle. These are the "holy" version of the Devil Rooms and require you to ignore Devil Deals in order to reach them. These rooms contain free exclusive items and play a crucial role in finding the True Final Boss. They are, however, more difficult access and don't have an overall more effective item pool when compared to the Devil Rooms.
Visual Novel
- Archer of Fate/stay night made a pact with Alaya, the collective will of humanity, offering his service as a Counter Guardiannote in return for gaining the ability to save a few people he otherwise couldn't have saved. While becoming a Counter Guardian has allowed Archer to save even greater numbers of people than before by effectively saving the world multiple times, the methods Counter Guardians are forced to use made it something of a backfire for him even if Alaya didn't have any malice in mind by giving them both what they wanted.
- In Fans!, with his loved ones about to be tortured to death, Rikk sells his soul to what he believes to be the Devil in exchange for their protection. It's only after the deal is done that he realizes he was actually talking to God.

Suarez shines in Barca's 8-0 rout of Deportivo La CorunaSubmitted by Rajiv Dhoot on Thu, 04/21/2016 - 05:36

Times are tough for many businesses, but even more so for a firm like General Motors, which is desperately seeking ways to reduce its operating costs. The automaker launched intensive new program to try and preserve money, which may delay launching in upcoming new models.
Perhaps most significant is the possible delay of the Chevrolet Cruze, the oft-touted compact sedan riding on the company's next-generation Delta platform. Though a key product in GM's upcoming portfolio, it may arrive in the U.S. in 2011, a full year later than expected and two years after it goes on sale in Europe.
Also delayed is a revised Malibu, which was previously expected to arrive in 2012. Like the Cruze, the next-generation midsize sedan program is delayed a full year, pushing its launch date back to 2013.
Such delays – particularly with the Cruze – could have a significant impact on the Chevrolet brand. The Cruze is said to bring new levels of refinement to GM's subcompact portfolio, a segment witnessing growth thanks in part to gas prices and the economic slow-down. The car's fuel economy – estimated to be approximately 40 mpg – has also prompted GM to reconsider bringing a replacement for the Aveo hatchback to the United States.

Taylor Watson (2007) – Watson is a rising senior whose stock is rising as well. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound tight end/defensive end has been offered by the Terps, along with Temple, UConn and Akron. Watson has good speed for his size (4.6-4.7 40-yard dash) and could play some running back/fullback. He's also played guard and kicker at Gwynn Park.
Watson was one of the top players at the MSL Combine in Pittsburgh this spring. He's fully qualified.
Courtney Prince (2007) – Prince, a 6-4, 270-pound defensive end appears to be a Virginia Tech lean. He also has offers from Syracuse, Purdue and Temple. The Terps have shown some level of interest but have not offered, Hayes said.
Raynard Randolph (2009) – Randolph, a 6-foot-2, 300-pound rising sophomore, is the next 'biggie' at Gwynn Park, following in the footsteps of former blue-chippers Wesley Jefferson and Phillip Taylor.
"He's pretty much passed them at this point, in terms of when they were sophomores," Hayes said.
Impressively, Randolph started on the offensive line as a freshman. College recruiters have already caught wind of his talent, and it's safe to assume he'll be highly sought in the same way Jefferson and Taylor were.

NBC pauses production on midseason drama 'Crisis'
The Washington D.C.-set hostage drama "Crisis" -- this is the Dermot Mulroney one, not to be confused with Dylan McDermott's struggling "Hostages" -- has taken a break for a creative "course correction."
Per Deadline.com, "Crisis" took a production hiatus this week so that the writers could "tweak storylines and work on scripts." In addition, the site reports that the drama, which also features Gillian Anderson in its ensemble, has added senior-level writers.
The pause came after production wrapped on the drama's fifth episode. Thus far, "Crisis" doesn't have a premiere date on NBC.
Deadline is correct to note that it isn't uncommon for midseason dramas to take a creative pause pre-premiere and that NBC's "Awake" was widely hailed for the transition the drama made post-hiatus. That didn't help "Awake" when it came to ratings or longevity, of course.

ABIM 2016: 24-26 October
ABIM is the premier global meeting for the biocontrol industry and is internationally recognised as the global platform for the industry to network, discover and unveil new products, market opportunities and research areas. But as well as promoting biocontrol and networking it is the platform to liaise with and inform policy makers and regulators of the specific needs of our unique growth industry.
During the three days of the 10th anniversary conference, over 800 delegates from 47 countries representing 394 companies and organisations from all over the globe were present and exchanged experiences and obtained information on the latest products and developments on the world market. In the scientific programme, 43 presentations covered the latest developments in market development, regulatory affairs and novel products for plant protection. The exhibition was at the core of the conference, giving companies excellent visibility. The vast majority of company representatives present at ABIM 2015 stated that they were highly satisfied with the outcome of the conference.

There was no sign of these Swiss kids being cheesed off when a surprise superstar guest turned up at their youth game.
Manchester United and England star Wayne Rooney dropped in to do a bit of coaching in Payeme as part of his Uefa punishment for his red card in Montenegro last year.
Rooney's red rage in the Euro qualifier led to him missing the first two games in the finals – and to him having to agree to take part in Uefa-supported community projects.
But while England fans were upset at his wild kick 14 months ago, these youngsters were only too glad as he put them through their paces.
Meanwhile, Ashley Williams reckons Swansea have a plan to stop Manchester United hotshot Robin van Persie – keeping the ball.

General McLane's Thompson on Baldwin Wallace football roster
Former General McLane star Quinn Thompson is now playing football at Baldwin Wallace University.
Thompson, a 6-foot, 4-inch, 244-pound redshirt freshman tight end, left UConn before training camp and is listed on the roster at Baldwin Wallace, a suburban Cleveland school whose football program competes in the Division III Ohio Athletic Conference.
Thompson sat out the 2013 season after suffering an injury in camp but returned to lead the Huskies with five catches in UConn's spring game. He was a two-way standout at General McLane, earning first-team Class AAA all-state honors from Pennsylvania Football News as a senior while playing quarterback, tight end and defensive end. He also starred in basketball.
Baldwin Wallace finished 7-3 in 2013 and is 22-8 the past three seasons under coach John Snell, who enters his 13th season this fall.
UConn spokesman Mike Enright confirmed in an e-mail to the Erie Times-News on Monday that Thompson had withdrawn from UConn but declined to elaborate.
Thompson has not responded to messages left on his phone.

Do you know these children?
Do you, or an older relative of yours, recognize any of these children? More than 70 children separated from their families during WWII, now all elderly men and women, are using the Internet to try to find some answers about their pasts, their families, and sometimes even their own names. They are soliciting help and suggestions in the comments sections on each story. [more inside]
What's nu?
A linguist and a sociologist at Hebrew Union College have teamed up to track the inroads made into American English by words and idioms from traditionally Jewish languages, including Yiddish, Judeo-Arabic, Ladino (Judeo-Spanish), and Hebrew. They've created an online survey and are looking for people from all religious and ethnic backgrounds to answer a few questions about their word choices, phrasing, and pronunciation. They're also trying to determine whether certain linguistic quirks usually attributed to Yiddish's influence are actually carried over from Jewish ancestors' speech patterns and accents, or whether they're merely an artifact from growing up in or near New York City.

The American Nightmare: Today's Reality but Not Forever
he America described in my article, "The American Dream: A Dream Deferred but Not Forever" is not the America of this piece. This post is about another America.

The American Dream: Deferred for Now but Not Forever
ecently, on CNN's Sunday morning financial show, "Your Money", CNN contributor Will Cain commented that contemporary American politics is partisan perhaps beyond anything that we've ever seen in the history of the country, because the country itself is more divided along partisan and ideological lines than ever before. I agree with Mr. Cain. In my […]
Beware of Utopias
Nick Capo: In my dystopian novel, what everybody senses, and usually avoids talking about, is that civilization is teetering on the edge of the abyss as mutual disgust and learned helplessness cover the globe like a black shroud.

Nick Capo: According to Jefferson, freedom and liberty rely on the existence of an educated citizenry, one difficult to manipulate, while economic growth relies on the continued advancement of human knowledge.
Let Political Ads Go the Way of Cigarette Commercials
Tina Dupuy: Ask anyone in even a slightly purple state or in an even slightly contested district: Political ads are a plague come election time. And what exactly are we getting for our (estimated) $42 per potential voter? Not much.
Fed Policy Needs a U-Turn

David Love: Where do they find these people? I'm talking about those crazy-talking Tea Party types, ultra-conservative Republicans posing as legitimate lawmakers and politicians, some of them even passing themselves off as senators, members of Congress and governors.
An Early Post-Mortem: A National Day of Pouring?
Bob Letcher: Regardless of who "wins" and who "loses" next Tuesday's election, can there be any doubt that the results will end the country's slow downward slide… and send it plunging headlong toward disaster of the sort and scale that the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, must have foreseen when he admonished the citizenry, "A house divided against itself cannot stand."
Technology as a System: An Approach to Creating Jobs
Robert Letcher: It has become a very cruel world out there, and latecomers are cruelly left out. Until a new economic order emerges, only the technologically aware have a chance to prosper. We hope our approach will help us to that end.
Constitution Contains Not One Commandment
Tina Dupuy: There are no democratically elected leaders in the Christian Bible. I know – it's shocking. But, if you catch the rhetoric pertaining to the US Constitution, you'd think the Ten Commandments are its bullet points. They're not. The whole idea of a representative democracy (a Greek word) comes from Ancient (think then-solvent) Greece. The leaders in the Bible were all kings or tyrants and the Bill of Rights is nowhere in the New or Old Testaments.
Afghanistan: What Obama Should Do Next and Why Your Opinion Matters

BOSTON - Eleven goals. Evaporating two-goal leads. Thunderous hits. One raucous arena, filled with frenzied black-and-gold-clad fans.
Even one goal scored from a rocketed ricochet off the glass behind the net.
If you didn't know any better, you'd think you were watching the Battle of Pennsylvania all over again - with the Flyers and Penguins trading tallies at will - instead of the defensive deadlock we've witnessed between the Bruins and Blackhawks.
The only difference was the stakes.
Charged by goals from stars Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane, Chicago shook off twice blowing a two-goal lead to take Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals last night, 6-5, in overtime.
