Almost all growth in the U.S. labor force over the next several decades will be attributable to immigrants and their children, write Bruce Katz and Jennifer Bradley, both affiliated with the Brookings Institution. Metropolitan areas that "work hard to educate and integrate their immigrant families will set themselves up for success," they write.

Friday, January 4, 2013 will mark the 2013 Under Armour All-American Game. It's one of the very top post-season high school football all-star games and has a huge impact on recruiting. Chances are, if a highly touted prospect is not at the Army game, then he's at the Under Armour game.
One of the cool treats of this contest is that several recruits will be choosing this platform for them to announce their college decisions. Upon doing my research, it appears seven upper echelon prospects have confirmed they will be revealing their destination at this year's game.
Here's my prediction for each budding Under Armour commitment.

Medical Training Initiative (Paediatrics)
Our MTI(p) scheme enables non-UK/EEA paediatricians, with MRCPCH or other postgraduate qualifications, to undertake high quality postgraduate training in paediatrics for a maximum of 24 months, before returning to work in their home countries. Find out more about the benefits and read testimonials.
What are the benefits to candidates?
International Fellows on the MTI(p) scheme work in an RCPCH-approved clinical setting, exposing them not only to the specified area of paediatrics but also to child protection, safe prescribing and medico-legal practice.
We encourage Fellows to engage in reflective practice and coaching/mentoring.
The scheme provide Fellows with the opportunity to enhance and develop skills across a range of areas including leadership and management, developing guidelines, conducting audit and research and understanding of clinical governance. The main focus is to work in an environment with a patient-centered approach.
The College is committed to providing a training opportunity that benefits the Fellow, their home country and the NHS units in which they will be working.
What type of posts are offered?
Posts are offered at a 'middle grade' level, equivalent in standard to Level 2 of the UK ST training curricula. After a period of three to six months induction at a more junior levels, it is expected that candidates will progress sufficiently to spend the remaining 18-21 months working at a more senior level.
The College offers two application routes for this scheme:
- MTI(p) College - for applications via RCPCH; some 2016 posts are still available
- MTI(p) Trust - for those who have secured a role in an NHS organisation
Testimonials from MTI Fellows
"The level of support I received right from the start of my training was excellent. Starting work in a new country with a markedly different healthcare setup was bound to be anxiety inducing, but the support I received from my educational supervisors allayed my concerns and helped me induct into the system with ease.
"They continued to provide valuable guidance and support throughout my training. My co-workers including the nursing and the paramedical staff were very helpful and understanding making my work an enjoyable experience.
"The experience gained during my time as a MTI trainee has been invaluable. It helped me refine my clinical skills while working with some very well trained and supportive seniors. Of particular mention is the experience that I gained in areas that are not so well developed in my home country like child protection, communication, transport of sick children, etc."
- MTI Fellow - August 2015
"I have recieved amazing support from my co-workers and educational supervisor - I was made to feel like a member of the team and I gained so much especially in the field of neonatology. My time in the MTI exceeded my expectations. I have grown much more as a paediatric doctor.
"The knowledge I have gained in neonatology has been incredible. I am much more confident with managing neonates. I have gained a lot of practical skills which I had never tried before."
- MTI Fellow – August 2015
"All the consultants and other staff have been very supportive and encouraging, and helped me understand the NHS sytem fairly soon in the course of my learning curve.
"I have gained immensely, not only in taking care of sick children, but also in developing overall capabilities in terms of leadership qualities , managerial skills and understanding human factors at every level of organisation.
"The impact of this training is obviously going to be very positive and life-long and I would like to thank everyone involved in making this programme accessible to candidates with background similar to that of mine."
- MTI Fellow - August 2015

A Harvard-trained neurosurgeon's minute-by-minute account of his own near-death experience - and what he discovered in the heavenly realm beyond life.
On November 10, 2008, Dr. Eben Alexander was driven into coma by a disease so lethal that only 1 in 10,000,000 survive. Seven days later, he awakened with memories of a fantastic odyssey deep into another realm that were more real than this earthly one - memories that included meeting a deceased birth sister he had never known existed.
Dr. Alexander deployed all his knowledge as a scientist to find out whether his mind could have played a trick on him. In its shutdown state, there was no way it could have functioned at all. That left only one conclusion: that we are conscious in spite of our brains - that, in fact, consciousness is at the root of all existence.
The evidence supporting Dr. Alexander's experience transformed him into a believer in God's unconditional love and brought reconciliation to his family - and will upend our ideas about human consciousness and spirituality.
©2012 Eben Alexander (P)2012 Simon & Schuster, Inc
"Dr. Eben Alexander's near-death experience is the most astounding I have heard in more than four decades of studying this phenomenon. In my opinion, Dr Alexander is living proof of an afterlife." (Raymond Moody, MD, PhD, author of Life Beyond Life)
"Eben Alexander brings a unique perspective to the sacred world combining a glorious, personal vision of spiritual consciousness with patient, insightful scientific inquiry. Proof of Heaven is a compelling story of what may lie ahead for all of us in the life beyond this one. We have nothing to fear." (Allan J. Hamilton, MD, FACS, author of The Scalpel and the Soul and Zen Mind, Zen Horse)
"I can highly recommend this important book that has the potential to break many scientific taboos." (Dr. Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, author of Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near-Death Experience)
Hippocrates Nikolakopoulos
"New insights on NDE and consciousness"
Dr. Eben Alexander colorfully shares with us his unique experience using both his left and right brain. He skillfully tries to share his experience as a scientist and convey logical data regarding the human brain. There is also a delightful personal narration of his life story with sincere feelings and narration of his emotional states.
The honest conclusion of his narration applies to all people: we all need to try to become better in this life and develop our emotions of love, compassion, integrity and sincerity.
Thank you Dr, Alexander for sharing your experience and feelings with us.
"I believe him."
Maybe in a few years. It's powerful enough to give me something to think about for a long time. I don't need to hear it again.
This may be a controversial subject, but the author really is compelling.
His depiction of the afterlife. When he meets the sister in Heaven that he never met while living on earth.
That he wanted to meet his biological parents and siblings and that he cared so deeply for them.
Really enjoyed it.
[C]ourage is a prerequisite for the practice of all other virtues, otherwise one is virtuous only when virtue has no cost. ~C.S. Lewis
"Touching and Fascinating!"
It was very personal, especially because it was read by the author, and it was like listening to him tell me the story himself. I was genuinely touched by the personal, human side of his story, but riveted and satisfied by the depth of his scientific, professional knowledge and his striking ability to blend the two aspects into a very moving, thought-inducing story. I have to listen to it again, because I want to hear the details I missed going through the first time. Adding to my list of all-time favorites!
"Excellent Book"
Yes, I would listen again because it is very informative. It kept me on the edge of my seat to get to end of the book.
His son because of his strong belief in his father's recovery.
Yes, his communication with God and how he described it.
This book left me wanting to know more.
"Is this believable?"
The fact that it tackles the question which everyone who has ever lived, deals with.The question 'what is after death?' This is a well done true story about a man who has dealt with other people's fear of death on a daily basis and what happens when he is faced with death. Having a first hand narrator helps to not only 'hear' the story but to feel it also.
I haven't wanted to read other Near Death Experience books, but when I saw it was a Neuro-surgeon, it really got my attention. Credibility is a big issue for me.
He comes across as being very sincere and genuine.
When he talked about his mother ,( I don't want to give away any of the story ) it was hard not to feel the tears.
This will grab your attention for more than just the time you put into reading it. Real life is real life, no matter how many scoffers there are out there.They certainly need to read the whole book before making rash judgments. One of the top books I have listened to on Audible. Thank-you Audible. And thank-you Eben Alexander.
"More proof that our Spiritual side is real......."
Fact, proof, Heaven
The description of the other realm
It made me smile to remember the other side.
"I am a believer...."
This book is both fascinating and fast moving. Truly, I could not put it down! Eban Alexander's story is so vivid in his telling. It is even more riveting because as a neurosurgeon he has been trained not to believe what he experienced. A wonderful story about an amazing man's journey to the afterlife and back. You will want to listen to it again and give it to those who you love.
"Don't read your own books"
Can't tell you how many audiobooks have been ruined for me because the author read it themselves. At any rate, this story was really hard to follow along with, mostly because I was looking for some writing that I would consider worthy of a Harvard professor. Instead this is just another Christian-religious book without any scientific validity. I was hoping for something that would challenge me. This just bored me.
Books make the world a better place
I already have recommended this book to several people because the truth of this doctor's personal experience is hard to deny. I believe what his spirit or soul, etc. went through was very real. I appreciated that the author is a doctor and a scientist whose was/is a practicing neurosurgeon (what better person to tell us how the brain works) and the fact that he was a skeptic on the subject, before he had his NDE (Near Death Experience). In other words, he is the last person who might admit there is life after death.
I was mesmerized by the description of the clouds; the transparent, shimmering beings; the huge, booming sound "like a glorious chant"; the way the author could hear the visual beauty of the silvery bodies of the beings...and how he could see the surging, joyful perfection of what they sang, etc. I particularly loved the "super-vivid aliveness" of the doctor's NDE. It was and is completely welcoming and soothing to know that life is better after death.
I just loved this audiobook. It is not just a story or another person's experience. It is the gift of hope and love to those of us who haven't or will never have a NDE.
"Thank you for sharing"
Your experience and knowledge of what you describe has answered many questions about my own experiences.
Thank you

You asked a tough question that is for sure. Hard one to go with as that 87 is a smoker board, but the 93 is a fast board and has some more fun to rip through the gybes. If you like the 115 you will like the 93. It is prepped up and ready for action

There's only one way to find out! It's not so easy to find mango infused rum so using a mix or fresh mango juice would be the easiest way to get the job done...

Cruzan® mango rum could also be used, and you can use fresh mango puree Mango Puree 3 mangos, peeled, pitted and chopped 4 tbsp. raw cane sugar juice of one lime

When most investors hear the words "electrical components" and "construction" in the same sentence, they usually sneer and chuckle under their breath. They picture of rows and rows of home foreclosures and residential new construction continues to resemble an aging prizefighter down for the count.
Thomas & Betts [(TNB) $44] is often described as such – an electrical component manufacturing serving the construction market. Revenue for TNB should be $2.25 billion this year. TNB provides 80% of the non-wire products that moves electricity from the power generating plant to the outlet that fires up your computer. However, residential construction represents only 4% of revenue while commercial construction kicks in 37%. Utility and industrial/manufacturing clients make up the balance of revenue at 24% and 35%, respectively.
Thomas & Betts has a rich history dating back to 1898 when two engineers, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Betts, founded an electrical conduit wholesale business to supply the initial electrification of New York City. TNB has been expanding its product offerings to the electrical wholesale trade and has grown to be a leading manufacturer in the supply chain.
The company is segregated into three business groups: Electrical Products, Steel Structures, and HVAC. The Electrical segment is the largest with $1.7 bil in revenue in 2010, or 84%. TNB inventories thousands of SKUs and utilizes a total installed cost approach with its customers. TNB has thousands of patents on products that may be more expensive to purchase but offer a lower installed and life-cycle cost. The company's focal point for its wholesale clients is its logistics center in Missouri, and its pull-through, or vertical, marketing.
These approaches have developed a loyal distribution network and allows TNB to generate a strong margin. In addition, TNB's competitive stance positively influenced revenue. The construction segment of Electric Products declined in 2010 by only -3.0% in the face of a -13.0% industry decline in overall non-residential construction spending.
Steel Structures generated 11% of revenue in 2010, or $220 million. Steel structures include its leading position in mono-tubing for street light and traffic poles, and higher voltage electric transmission structures with a capacity up to 750v. The contracts associated with Steel Structures are typically much longer in manufacturing time than Electrical Products. TNB stands to benefit from an expansion and upgrade of the power grid. Historically, the supply of steel structures to the utility market has been fragmented, and TNB has a smaller market share. After decades of virtual neglect, increases in electrical infrastructure capital spending by utilities will not only provide more opportunity for TNB to organically grow this business, but for management to find timely acquisitions as well. There will be most likely be a consolidation in this industry as a means for larger companies to bulk up for years of above average client investments.
HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) generate 5% of sales in 2010, or about $100 million. TNB offers a full line of modular components, mainly focused on designs that require higher amounts of outside air to meet indoor air quality standards. As a small part of TNB, the business could be sold to offset a larger acquisition in its two core businesses.
Over the years, TNB has expanded through acquisitions in addition to steady organic expansion. For example, acquisitions accounted for $125 million of the $250 million in 2010 revenue growth, and accounted for $50 million of the $130 million in revenue growth for the first half of 2011.
Thomas & Betts has been conservatively managed. Since 2005, 42% of cash flow has been used for acquisitions, 40% for share repurchase/debt reduction, and 18% for capital expenditures. Projected 2011 year-end cash balance should be about equal to Dec 2010, at $456 million, versus long-term debt of $430 million. TNB generates about $250 to $280 million in annual cash flow. There are 53 million shares outstanding and the company has a market cap of $2.3 billion. TNB pays no dividend.
Recently, the company forecast earnings for 2011 between $3.20 and $3.35 per share. Consensus is for $4.00 in 2012 and for earnings growth in the 15% range. Return on invested capital has a 5-year average of 10.5%. Acquisitions along with growth in the utility and industrial businesses will offset continued weakness in residential construction. If construction spending reaches a bottom in 2012 or 2013, TNB is well positioned to take advantage of the turnaround.
TNB continues to find timely acquisitions in niche markets. While the company is a small player within the $50 billion electrical component market, management identifies profitable markets where it can excel. For instance, TNB holds first place with a 60% market share of underground electrical components to utility customers and a 30% market share in the mono-pole business.
One area of concern is also an area of opportunity – international sales. North America accounts for 81% of revenue with Europe accounting for 12% and 7% for all other countries combined. Some of TNB's peers are experiencing higher growth due to their international presence, especially in emerging markets. Management should continue to expand through acquiring overseas firms in similar businesses. The balance sheet is strong and future stable cash flow could be leveraged to fund acquisitions of upwards of $1 billion.
TNB is a late-cycle company with a traditional PE range of 6 at the bottom of the cycle and 17 at the top, with an average about 13 to 15. TNB is currently valued at 13x anticipated 2011 earnings and 11x anticipated 2012 earnings. It is quite conceivable for TNB to trade at PE of 15x 2012 yearnings, or a stock price of around $60. This would equate to a 36% capital gain over the next 18 to 24 months.

not very effective
not very effective at cleansing makeup off. the wipe is a little dry and doesnt feel very soft on the face. i do feel a bit of warmness on my face after using this. not sure for people with sensitive skin. the smell is all right too

I love it!
The sheet is huge, so I usually tear it into half to prevent wastage. Half a sheet is sufficient to wipe off all of my make-up cleanly, inclusive of my mascara, even tho I find that the sheet could be a little dry; in my opinion I think it can be slightly more moist. But it definitely does its job in cleaning off all make-up! Smell wise, I think it smells like apple cider, not too sure if it's a good thing.

Lovely lovely lovely! The material is strong and luxurious, and it leave my skin feeling soft and supple (while removing my make-up fully!) The apple and honey scent is refreshing. Would definitely re-purchase.

Nice scent but not for me
The makeup remover wipes was meant as a fuss-free travel essentials for my trips. However, it didn't leave a good impression on me. It felt rough on the skin and that lead my skin to redden (i have sensitive skin). Additionally, i don't feel that my face was cleansed of all the make up. However, it had a really pleasant apple scent.

though its a good wipe BUT the odour it gives out is not pleasant at all. not to my liking, that is. i hate cleaning the face using something that smells. hence, i will not re-purchase this in the near future. such a turn off.

Great wipes
I love these wipes. They get my makeup off with a quick swipe when I'm in a hurry and leaves a refreshing apple scent. Not sure if it's suitable for those with sensitive skin as its quite perfumed but I love the freshness of the scent.

Very gentle!
One of the best cleansing cloths I've come across. I have sensitive and acne prone skin however this product did not irritate my skin when I use it to remove my make up. I also used this in Bali; the weather's extremely hot and humid and this was a great refresher for my face. Used this throughout the day to freshen up. It smells wonderful as well.

All natural
This is an all natural product so what more can I say? Smells good, cleans good and it's good for you! Your skin will thank you. In terms of removing make up, it does what it says, but I don't use a lot of waterproof make up so I can't comment on the waterproof aspect. Definitely something useful for travel!

Product Information
There have been lots of stories with pyromaniacs in them. But the Trashcan Man is one of the best. Hes from The Stand, a film by Steven King, and plays a significant role. However, before he gets to the climactic ending, his story begins with a few disfigurements due to his fascination with fire. One of those is a gimp hand that awkwardly points away from his body at a 90-degree angle. The Burton Pyro Glove wont mutate you into a movie freak, but it might draw similar attention. Youll be doing all kinds of hot moves thanks the horrifyingly waterproof combo of its DRYRIDE Ultrashell 2L fabric and DRYRIDE Insane Membrane. Youll be fired up, too, with the Thermacore insulation and moisture-wicking fleece lining. And finally, youll melt your face as you surf your apps with the total touchscreen control of the Screen Grab leather palm and fingers. No really, it will all happen like that.
Product Features
- Dryride Ultrashell 2-layer fabric
- Ergonomic pre-curved fit: The superior dexterity of this articulated fit means your hands will always be warm and nimble no matter what kind of action you get into

Just finishing our holiday to the Pestana Grand and I have to say its a beautiful Hotel, the room is big and has modern comfortable Decor and possibly the comfiest beds we have had to date in a hotel, we are half board and the food here is really good, in fact not one meal we couldn't enjoy.
The staff cannot do enough to please from reception to waiters and to the chambermaids everyone we spoke to seemed happy and friendly. Having never visited Madeira before we were obviously apprehensive about getting around, however this. Isn't a problem as the hotel put on a free bus into Funchal and we used this several times .
We came away for a birthday treat for me and the hotel were lovely and even left a bottle of champagne on ice with two flutes in our room for when we returned from breakfast.
The hotel is set in lovely gardens overlooking the sea, however this week it's raining and so we have had to spend a lot of time in the room, this is the BIG and main problem we have as if We had request a sea view the hotel charge 30 euros a night, so we were stuck in a side room facing some private flats with the washing out all the time, these are so close to the hotel. We felt like we were in a goldfish bowl and so we haven't been on the balcony or indeed opened the curtains all week, The room doesn't have even an inch of a sea view and for that reason alone, would we return ? I have to answer a definite no, such a shame as the hotel ticks all the boxes , but when it comes down to it the money is more important than customer satisfaction, we did mention this to the Thomas Cook rep Simon, who although fabulously helpful in every way told us its hotel policy and there wasn't anything he could do about our awful view.
On a plus side the safe is free there is a kettle and a hair dryer in the room and complimentary tea and coffee although this is not replenished when it runs out. Internet is also free in the main areas and fast once you manage to get on, however as soon as you leave the main area you are constantly having to sign back on.so make sure you keep the log in code and password they give you.
The spa, jacuzzi , steam room , sauna and indoor pool are all free too. All in all a lovely hotel , wonderful staff but a room view we would not risk coming to again. If you can afford to pay £210 euros per week for a sea view, you won't find a better hotel, but if like us you are on a budget you have to expect a room view not dissimilar to a cheap city centre hotel.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The LTI Pestana Grand, one of the best and most prestigious hotels in Madeira, is also undoubtedly one of the best located. Sitting at the top of the Ponta da Cruz seacliff, it provides a superb view of the Atlantic Ocean and Cabo Girão. ... more less

Could brussels sprouts be the new leading indicator for equities? They have made a helluva comeback, a resurgence and rebranding the likes of which no one has ever seen. Long gone are the days when entire episodes of sitcoms were devoted to the haters of the innocently hued green vegetable as we witnessed in Leave It To Beaver circa 1960-something. Put another way, Mel Gibson would have to convert to Hasidism to rival this return to flavor - I mean favor. BP's, as those who have been closet lovers of this leafy cabbage affectionately refer to it, are ubiquitous on the menus of the finest restaurants, replacing perennial favorites such as string beans almandine. Barbecued brussels sprouts, brussels sprout hash, roasted brussels sprouts, Gordon Ramsey and Martha Stewart recipes - all trumpet their chicness. But what does this have to do with equities? The point is simple: the hate for brussels sprouts was much more deep seated than it ever was for equities. To wit: do you recall at any point in your adolescence, despising stocks, turning up your nose and running away from the table when your parents mentioned the stock market? Of course not. In fact, it was likely that your school had a stock market game or your parents talked about how they bought you 10 shares of DIS when you were born, a subliminal endorsement of the equities markets.
So if the despised and much maligned brussels sprout can make a comeback of heretofore unforeseen proportions, why not equities? In fact, the comeback has already started. Lipper reported that in January, equity and mixed equity funds brought in $62 billion, the largest monthly inflows in 6 years. Money also flowed into bond funds indicating that cash is likely coming out of the mattress and out of negligible yielding bank accounts. The flows continued into February, although US equity funds took a vacation last week from gathering assets. But before getting too excited, let's not forget that the indices have doubled since the market bottom despite massive outflows, thus, in the eyes of the bears, limiting the use of inflows as a correlation. And supporting the bear case is that long/short equity managers reportedly have the highest net exposure since 2008 at 50-60%. Nonetheless, in my view, when a feeding frenzy occurs, and we're not quite there yet, asset values increase. And for all the self-interested bond fund managers who believe we are not in a bubble, I caution them to start cutting back on their overhead or risk equity fund managers putting in a low ball bid in on their Hamptons homes, that is once they soak up the capacity from a shrinking sell-side equity. Not all the bond assets will flow into equities, but more than enough will find their way to drive the indices higher.
However, we are overdue for a slight backing and filling which is likely upon us in front of the March 1st Washington deadline for mandatory cuts, although my guess is that it will be extended. Alternatively, it may not be such a bad thing to have it play out. Investors are unfortunately accustomed to Washington's ineffectiveness and if you sold in front of the fiscal cliff, you missed a strong rally. So having stared down the abyss and survived quite nicely, I doubt a return engagement will be more than a nuisance for the market and a much needed respite. The payroll tax impact may prove to be more of an issue but hopefully a strong jobs number on March 8th will be more of an offset.
So pick it: do you want to follow the path of brussels sprouts or do you believe equities more closely resemble Mel Gibson?
