Shrinking labor force a trend across New EnglandToby Talbot / AP File Photo
A list of job openings is seen on the wall at the Vermont Department of Labors Resource Center in Barre in this 2010 photo.
Sometime last summer, Andrew Beck says he stopped looking for work, stymied as he got nowhere in his job search.
The Wethersfield, Conn., resident was laid off in March 2009 as a vice president of marketing and communications at a health care system. After more than three years of unsuccessfully looking for a job, Beck, 61, said he believed he was repeatedly passed over by employers hiring younger workers who had not been jobless for years.
It is very frustrating. It is very disheartening, he said. Its not what I planned to do.
Beck is one of more than 47,000 unemployed people in Connecticut who have stopped looking for work, surrendering to a labor market that is failing to produce enough jobs.
In New England, only Vermonts declining labor force participation comes close to Connecticut. The workforce there shrunk about 1 percent between 2008 and 2012.
The drop in Vermonts labor force is the result of pent-up demand to retire, said Mathew Barewicz, economic and labor market information chief at the Vermont Department of Labor.
He said the labor force expanded during the recession as older workers stayed on the job longer to boost retirement accounts or young people found work and put off college.
In Connecticut, every month the states stubbornly high unemployment rate gets much of the attention when the state releases labor data. But whats causing alarm among economists is the steadily shrinking state labor force as workers drop out, giving up their job search.
In a trend across New England, the drop in Connecticuts labor force is the largest. Economists in the six states cited reasons including an aging workforce in Rhode Island and a slow-growing population in New Hampshire. But in Connecticut, theyre stumped.
Whatever the cause there, the suddenness is like nothing weve seen before, said Andy Condon, director of research at the Connecticut Department of Labor.
The states labor force contracted in each of the last six months of 2012, with about 2.5 percent exiting between 2010 and 2012, a steeper drop than elsewhere in New England or nationally, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. Those who quit looking affect the unemployment rate because the government only counts as unemployed those actively searching for work.
The startling statistic prompted Condon to call a meeting in December of other economists from around the state to consider what might be happening.
The experts have rejected several theories, such as workers taking early retirement. Those quitting are 40 to 60 years old, too young to retire, Condon said. Statisticians also havent seen evidence that workers are leaving Connecticut, he said.
Even with the smaller labor force, Connecticuts unemployment rate in December was 8.6 percent, above the U.S. rate of 7.8 percent. Condon expects revisions in March will add several thousand jobs, but that would not affect the number of workers who quit the labor force.
We cant find any reason why Connecticut should be this phenomenon of a labor force declining, he said. Were just not different enough.
Nationally, the share of workers participating in the labor force fell from 66 percent before the start of the recession to less than 64 percent as millions of workers quit looking for jobs.
In Massachusetts, home to the regions largest economy, the labor force contracted only 0.1 percent since the recession. Rena Kottcamp, director of economic research for the Massachusetts Department of Unemployment Assistance, said the state has benefited from some recovery as data show an increase in the number of people seeking work.
New Hampshires workforce declined by fewer than 4,000 workers, or a half-percent, between 2008 and 2012. Its still a concern, said Bruce DeMay, director of the economic and labor market information bureau at the states Employment Security office.
He attributed the loss of workers to a slow-growing population in the state. Discouraged workers who have quit seeking a job are few, amounting to about 3,000, he said.
Most people, if theyre unemployed, are out there looking, DeMay said.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

A Message from the Director
Dear Community,
After a busy spring and summer filled with progress, the Atlantic Yards Project is gearing up for an eventful fall and winter. Before we outline upcoming activities, let us look back at our achievements together over the past few months.
First and foremost, in June, the Board of Directors for Empire State Development (ESD) affirmed the 2014Modified General Project Plan (MGPP). The updated MGPP accelerates development and ensures the timely arrival of key project deliverables for the community, including affordable housing. At the same time, the ESD Board of Directors approved the creation of the Atlantic Yards Community Development Corporation (AYCDC), a subsidiary of ESD to facilitate continued progress for the project. Greenland Forest City Partners also subsequently rebranded the project as Pacific Park Brooklyn.
In addition to these changes, we have a new leadership team for the Atlantic Yards Project:
- Nicole Jordan will serve as Community Relations Director. She acts as the primary liaison to the community to address concerns about construction and quality of life issues.
- I will serve as Project Director, and I will coordinate the ESD staff assigned to the project.
Our new team will be responsible for monitoring the project modifications approved by the Directors in June, including:
- Shortening the timeframe for completion of all affordable housing to 2025, ten years ahead of the previous outside date of 2035. Developers will pay liquidated damages for any remaining affordable housing units that have not received a temporary certificate of occupancy or a permanent certificate of occupancy by 2025.
- Ensuring sustained development of affordable housing by requiring that the project developers will provide 35 percent of the completed units at the site as affordable housing units until 1,050 affordable housing units are built. The updated MGPP ensures that the delivery of affordable units does not lag behind the creation of market rate units.
- Committing the project developers to begin construction on two affordable housing buildings by June 2015. ESD will utilize enforcement mechanisms to require prompt commencement of these two buildings.
- Creating the aforementioned AYCDC, which is designed to provide input on development, housing, and community impact throughout the life of the project. The subsidiary will include a 14-member board that is expected to be appointed by the end of the year.
And building on the progress of the spring and summer, the following key activities will occur this fall and winter:
- Beginning of construction on the first 100% affordable housing building at 535 Carlton Avenue and the green roof at the Barclays Center.
- Inaugural meeting of the AYCDC.
As always, we look forward to continuing to work and share information with you about the Atlantic Yards Project as it progresses.
Best Regards,
Sam Filler

September 9, 2013 —
Monticello Police arrested four men following a large disturbance at the Monticello Shell Mart convenience store on Jefferson street at 5:38 PM on Thursday 9/5/13.
At 5:38 PM Thursday Monticello Police responded to a reported fight in progress at the Monticello Shell Mart convenience store on Jefferson Street in the village of Monticello.
Upon officers arrival of officers Eric Yon was observed actively fighting with and then swinging a large PVC pipe at Brian Padin and Christian Morales. Officers ordered the subjects to stop fighting.
Padin and Morales complied with officer's commands but Yon refused and continued swinging the pipe. Monticello officers then utilized a Taser to bring Yon down to the ground and take him to custody. Padin, Morales and Rafael Pichardo were then also arrested.
Officers were able to review video surveillance from the store, which showed Yon fighting with the other 3 males. When the other 3 males attempted to leave in a vehicle operated by Pichardo, Yon retrieved a long PVC pipe from his own vehicle and struck Pichardo's vehicle several times breaking the windshield and denting the vehicles body and hood.
The video also showed Pichardo intentionally driving at and nearly striking Yon with the vehicle. Padin and Morales then exited the vehicle and again began fighting with Yon as Monticello officers arrived on scene.
Yon was subsequently transported to CRMC by Mobile Medic ambulance for injuries to his left eye, left hand, ribs and a small laceration to his chest from being cut with a razor knife by Padin.
All of the defendants were arraigned in the village of Monticello justice court before village of Monticello justice Josephine Finn. Padin was remanded to the Sullivan county jail on $10,000.00 bail; Morales $3500.00 bail; Pichardo on $2500.00; Yon was released on a $15,000.00 personal recognizance bond.
Monticello Police are still trying to determine what started the fight. The Sullivan county Sheriff Office assisted Monticello police at the scene of the incident.

Reviews of this property
Apartment very well located, very central, in a very nice and quiet, but standard equipment, the kettle does not boil water, the spout of the Italian coffee maker is broken, the sofa bed is almost impossible open without damaging the armrests few dishes (no bowl for breakfast ...), poorly finished without storage except an empty space with no door and no shelf room, no soundproofing between apartments, and especially lift down for the entire stay (7 nights), while it was one of the reasons of our choice.
Appartement très bien situé, très central, dans un quartier très agréable et très calme, mais équipement moyen, la bouilloire ne permet pas de faire bouillir l'eau, le bec verseur de la cafetière italienne est cassé, le canapé-lit est quasiment impossible à ouvrir sans abîmer les accoudoirs, peu de vaisselle (pas de bol pour le petit déjeuner...), une chambre mal finie sans rangement sauf un espace vide sans porte et sans étagère, insonorisation nulle entre les appartements, et, surtout, ascenseur en panne pendant tout le séjour (7 nuits) alors que c'était une des raisons de notre choix.
Apartment well located, convenient and comfortable Ideal for a short stay
Appartement bien situé, pratique et confortable
Idéal pour un court séjour
Friendly service, central location.
Freundliche Betreuung, zentrale Lage.
Marzia´s contact was extremely nice and professional all the time, as well as Nurhana, the person who picked us up and took us to the apartment. As a normal procedure, the guest has to provide the credit card and sign a document in case of any flat´s damage, which we found normal, but the things which were damaged from previous guests were not replaced. Unfortunately we found some broken things, like a chair of 5, so we could not sit all together on the table and have breakfast.... :( Nice apartment, I would not call it "Luxury", but I would recommend it: nice contact, nice location and renovated.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Nice apartment, modern, layout of apartment wasn't that great in bathrooms.
Organisation and communication was seriously poor as there was no one who emailed us back to let us know directions to the apartment or how to get the key (then for 6 people staying they only supplied 1 key), travelling around Venice it is easy to get lost, which we did trying to call a number that was disconnected. Then being unwelcomed by a man whom we weren't sure if they were the host or not.
I wouldn't stay there again, I think they had advertised the apartment block on too many different sites and we slipped between the cracks.
Had a nice time at this apartment,however don,t try to use the shower in the 2nd shower roomI( there isn,t a bath) as you can only get in the shower with the upmost difficulty because the toilet stops you opening the door!!!!.Very limited utensils in the kitchen,no bread knife,no chopping knife,no fish slice or things you would expect in a luxury? apartment.No coffee table in lounge so glasses,cups etc have to sit on the floor.Not a lot wrong really but a few additions would improve things greatly.
The apartment is good and comfortable to accomodate maximum 8 persons. The location is very good with supermarket nearby and 15mins walk to train station. We love the kitchen and enjoy our cooking there. It is really like stay at home and hang out everyday for fun. Thank you very much.

Northwestern's Past Greats Help Beat the Present
by Matt Forman | LaxMagazine.com | Live Blog Replay
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — No need to get your TV or computer screen checked out. There's nothing wrong with that purple-colored tint on your digital display. That discoloration is a decidedly Northwestern hue to the women's national team's 16-6 win over the Wildcats on Sunday at Champion Challenge.
Half of Team USA's goals were scored by former Northwestern players, including four by Katrina Dowd, who earned Most Outstanding Player honors for her effort. Former Wildcats Lindsey Munday (three goals, three assists) and Danielle Spencer (one goal, one assist) also tickled the twine against their alma mater.

three assists) was one of several Northwestern alumbs to have big
days against the Wildcats on Sunday in Team USA's 16-6 win at
Champion Challenge.

"It's really fun to play with former teammates like Sarah Albrecht, as well as Katrina and Spence," said Munday, who was an assistant at Northwestern after her playing career and coached Dowd and Spencer. "We tend to know what one another wants to do on the field, and we can have that communication without even talking, so it's always nice to have that chemistry where you can work together and work well off each other."
The U.S. win kicked off Sunday's nationally televised matinee of action at the seventh annual US Lacrosse event, held at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex. Following Sunday's main game, and while Denver faced the men's national team, Team USA played Northwestern a second time and won 18-1, sweeping the Wildcats to cap a 5-0 weekend.
"I was really pleased with the discipline we showed throughout the [first] game," U.S. coach Ricky Fried said. "Our defense played particularly well, holding position, not going for checks for most of the game, and staying poised against a very quality team that's seasoned, plays fast, is very aggressive. We made sure that we stayed composed and disciplined the entire time."
Intense and physical play defined Sunday, as Team USA was called for 33 fouls and Northwestern for 18 in the first meeting. Defender Taylor Thornton, a national team hopeful playing for Northwestern in Sunday's opener, called the environment "a battlefield out there."
"You come to this level, you're playing a national-championship-caliber team, they're not going to back down for you, and we're clearly not going to back down for them. That's what you expect, and that's why you play the game," Fried said. "Those are the games you enjoy. Games when you come out, you compete, you're pressed to do things under duress, and it's great for the coaching staff because we get to see who reacts appropriately to that style of play."
The U.S. increased its defensive intensity Sunday, pressuring away from the cage and forcing the Wildcats' hand, especially in the first half when Northwestern turned the ball over 13 times.
With attacking, high-energy play came a bevy of yellow cards for both sides. Seven of the game's 22 goals were scored in player-up situations, including four of Team USA's first seven scores, which put the Wildcats in an early 7-0 hole.
"We talked about the pressure they were going to bring, but sometimes you don't realize it until you feel that pressure," Northwestern coach Kelly Amonte Hiller said. "They have great kids top to bottom that have great fundamentals and they're always good at those little things. They're battling and they're battling together. They did a great job putting pressure on us and swarming us. We couldn't handle it in the beginning."
When asked what her team needs to work on during a post-game television interview, Amonte Hiller said, "ground balls." Just ground balls? "Pretty much." As they struggled to pick up loose balls and committed several costly turnovers, the Wildcats didn't sustain many extended possessions in the opening period.
But Northwestern settled in after intermission, playing to a 9-5 score in the second half and showing what makes them Lacrosse Magazine's preseason top-ranked team. Junior midfielders Amanda Macaluso and Erin Fitzgerald scored two goals apiece, and sophomore Kelly Rich tacked on one.
Thornton and Shannon Smith, both training with Team USA this weekend, played for Northwestern in Sunday's opener, then suited up for the red, white and blue and faced their current teammates in the second matchup. Thornton joked after the game, "I feel like I'm about on 'E' with the tank."
Thornton, though, was everywhere on the field — marking All-World attacker Munday, pushing the ball in transition, getting involved on the offensive end.
"She's just tenacious," Munday said. "You see her out there, she's always excited. She loves lacrosse, and she really goes out every single play at 100 percent. If you can do that, with her athleticism, it's a really good combination."
Munday's three assists Sunday gave her six helpers this weekend, four of which went through Dowd, who ended up scoring 13 combined goals in three games.
"Katrina is so quick and she's so athletic, and it's really hard to stop her," Munday said. "If you stop her one way, she's going to beat you another way. It's not like she has one thing in her arsenal, and she can really beat you a number of different ways. She's a really fun player to watch, and a really fun player to play with."
Players without ties to Northwestern contributed, too. Katie Rowan and Sarah Bullard added four and two goals, respectively for Team USA, which will see its 38-member roster trimmed to 24 shortly in preparation for the summer's tour in Canada. Fried said the coaching staff would hold a conference call within the next two days, and they'll inform the team of their decisions by the end of the week.
"It's going to be some really, really difficult decisions to make, and that's great problem to have as a coach. Difficult to do, but a great problem to have," Fried said. "We're going to be looking for the best dynamic. One of the biggest things we're going to focus on is decision-making. Not skills, necessarily, because they all have skills. Not athleticism. But who's making the right decision within the context of how we want to play, and that's going to be the biggest factor for us."

My 10 year old daughter Saffy was diagnosed with Scoliosis in April after I noticed that the right side of her back was larger than the left.
Our GP referred us to the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore and we had our initial consultation with Mr Noordeen this morning.
Our appointment went well and I went armed with lots of questions as a result of the information on this forum. After having an x-Ray we were told that Saffy has a right sided curve in the top half of her spine which measures 51.8 degrees.
Mr Noordeen has recommended that she wear a brace which she will need to wear for 19 hours a day including sleeping in it. Our next step is to wait for an appointment to get her measured for brace to be made.
My questions are what is the best type of vest or tshirt to wear underneath the brace. Are there any good seamless cotton top suppliers in the UK that I can source some?
How long does it usually take to get the brace made once I go to the appointment to get Saffy measured up? I completely forgot to ask as my mind was going a mile a minute this morning. It would be nice to get her accustomed to wearing it during the summer holidays but I'm not sure if my timelines are wishful thinking and that it will take a lot longer.
How did your children cope with wearing a brace to school? We have a school nurse who I have spoken to at length and she has suggested maybe doing an assembly to Saffy's year all about scoliosis. I think it is a good idea but want to make sure Saffy is happy for it to be discussed so that her friends can learn more about scoliosis and why she needs to wear a brace.
Also has anyone had any success with the brace reducing the curve or stopping it from progressing further?

Meanwhile, Scott Blackburn, director of the Harrison County Department of Job and Family Services (DJFS) was on hand for the awarding of the bid for the renovation of two restrooms at the DJFS building. The contract was awarded to solo bidder Kinsey Construction Inc., of Harrisville which proposed a total of $21,640 for labor and materials.
The two restrooms are currently unusable following the repairs to the sewer lines in the building and plans call for the renovations to combine them into one handicapped-accessible restroom. The bid names Smith Plumbing of Cadiz and D&E Electric, also of Harrisville as subcontractors.
The commissioners also were finishing up some end of year business clearing up some funds from shale leases: The commissioners appropriated $84.48 into Examinations for final state mandated costs for the airport; $3700 into Postage smart bill for the Treasurers office; $50,000 into commissioners Other to pay for the demolition of the adjacent Heinz Building, $28,500 of that total for the demolition, $10,500 for asbestos removal with the remainder going for a fence, gravel or asphalt paving and the filling of a cistern unearthed during razing of the structure.

Commissioners also transferred $70,000 to the Government Center, $28,328 Legal Computer, Clerk of Courts and $99,000 to magistrate's office.
Commissioner Don Bethel explained that at the recommendation of Harrison County Auditor Patrick Moore the county would transfer the funds to clear some of the county's long term debt from the deficit.
Moore stated that the transfers would clear up county debt that has been on the books for 6 to 8 years.
Commissioner Barbara Pincola stated, "We are finally in the place where we are going to be able to clear up or at least catch up on some of that debt."
In other business:
The board approved an increase in appropriations for line item Levy Supplies at the request of Sheriff Ronald J. Myers.
Approved transfers for the Harrison County Veterans Commission of $93.85 from hospitalization, $289.49 from workers compensation, $1,500 from burials and $828.05 from P.E.R.S. to expenses.

This image from the Hubble Space Telescope CANDELS survey highlights the most distant galaxy in the universe with a definitively measured distance, dubbed z8_GND_5296. The galaxy's red color alerted astronomers that it was likely extremely far away, and thus seen at an early time after the Big Bang. A team of astronomers measured the exact distance using the Keck I telescope with the new MOSFIRE spectrograph. They found that this galaxy is seen at about 700 million years after the Big Bang, when the universe was just 5 percent of its current age of 13.8 billion years.

Hi kirk-jamesbond:
Did a USB install on my Acer5750.
I'm afraid I'm stuck with my wl driver problem again.
The wl driver couldn't be activated in services.
Followed the steps you helped me with in 611 (pages 1.2) which were successful.
Installed Broadcom-wl.pet.
The wl driver showed up as activated in services but would not connect.
It does not show in network wizard.
Did this just to check:
modprobe lib80211
modprobe cfg80211
insmod /usr/share/broadcom/wl.ko
It told me that broadcom/wl was installed already.
Don't know if you can help but I would like to keep up to date with fatdog.

Hello Kirk
Have you tried turning on the samba server and sharing files from your Downloads folder in the past?
I don't use networking, apart from internet access, so I have never tried that.

Try installing the proprietary ATI driver, James says one of his systems runs a lot cooler with it. You'll need Catalyst 12.8 for that one. Here a link to the pet:
So far I can switch back and forth between JWM and openbox without problems. I'll try a few other things. Caution about JWM, it's in there just in case openbox has problems. Nether James or my self use it, so it's not really maintained.
Don't use the old pet package. Reboot after deleting your savefile or boot with savefile=none. Then go to Control Panel and click on the System tab. Then click on 'Manage Servers and Services'. Click on BC-wl and click Start and Enable. Then right click on the wpa_gui icon in the tray and select restart connection. After wpa_gui restarts click on the wpa_gui icon and select scan and see if anything shows up.
For the next release autochownd won't start if the Downloads folder is some place where ownership can't be set. Thanks.

Did as you requested.
Manage Servers and services says bc-wl currently running=yes.
Scan shows nothing.
Not showing in network wizard.
Got the same result earlier that's why I tried the old wl pet.

Do you mean "Fatdog64 with multisession support" is giving you the video problems? And the normal boot (first boot option) is working?
I amended the post with add'l details.
You may have already taken a look at the Hardinfo report provided in that post. This X2 system has its video on-board the motherboard and the system did not have problems when it ran FATDOG 5.2+.
Should I run TaZoC's sys-info utility.?
Is there any other tool that would provide additional useful information?
Lastly, I am running the system via start to xorgwizard. The only driver which starts on the system and does NOT screw the video and lock the system is VESA. (Other driver selections via xorgwizard would end in "Failure ..."
Hope this provides useful understanding

Subject description: The UEFI Boot Works Well
I spent the morning testing on my Compaq CQ-58 using the UEFI "secure" boot process. Fatdog64-620beta1 did work for the CDROM and a USB using my process (
). I do have to say thank you for modifying Grub2 to ask how to find the grub.cfg file. It solves the issues of using a USB flash device as a rescue device. Previously, Grub2 would always use the hard drive grub.cfg file.
I did try GIMP and it worked fine.
The only minor problem with a hard drive install was I use a previous save file. Upon startup, the display was highly distorted. I use ctrl alt backspace to stop the x server. After running xorgwizard, everything was fine.
If you use an USB flash drive with an existing hard drive grub2 installation. The grub.cfg file on the USB needs this:
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set xxxx-xxx
# above line searches for UUID and sets root to device with UUID
before starting the kernel.
I can not test fatdog64 with an existing Windows 8 installation. I got tied of the Micro$oft problems and replaced the hard drive with a new solid state one. No Windows for me.
I do have a question on the beta. Does it contain the kernel modules Ralink_390sta? I need it for the wireless card. It seems the card is sleep mode (or airplane mode) and is not being detected. I need to manually add it. Thanks for any help on the wireless card.
I know it is the year of the snake for the Chinese. For me, this year is turning out to be the year of the Fatdog

Sounds like problems with nouveau. You can try booting with nouveau.noaccel=1.
If that doesn't help you can try booting with "Start Fatdog64 with the chosen resolution" boot option (Which uses nomodeset and pfix=xorgwizard) and try the nv driver in the xorgwizard.
If that doesn't work you can try one of the proprietary nvidia drivers here:
You'll need to find out what chip set your nvidia card has and go to nvidia's web site and see if you need the 304.x or 310.x pet package.
I compiled all of the wireless modules that are included with the kernel including the staging ones. The only extra module I included was the Broadcom wl module, which has to be manually activated in the Control Panel. If you have a link to the source code for your wireless card. I might include it.

Thank you for this new version of Fatdog64.
When my monitor is supposed to sleep, the screen goes black for a few seconds, then turns on again. This is on a desktop, using nouveau driver.

Kirk, no need for a new module. If the hardware identifies your wireless module as RaLink Device 539b then Fatdog64 has module rt2800pci that will work for it. Alternative identification for the device is Ralink [1814:539b]. I found alternative identification when looking for information on the wifi device. You may have to do a modprobe command to install it and get the module out of airplane mode. Once out of airplane mode, it does work.
I now have it working. However, I can not place the wifi adapter into airplane mode with the F9 key. I think hp_wmi module may have something to do with it. I did some searching and yes, the hp-wmi module does toggle the wifi adapter from normal to airplane mode. However, it is not clear how one does that, more research needed.
I tried the savefile directory and had a problem with it. Seamonkey could not find the profile for itself and would not start. However, going back to the savefile, everything worked correctly. What needs to be done to go from an existing fd64save.ext4 to a savefile directory. I also had the new savefile directory in the same partition. Should it be in another partition? Thank you in advance for any help on this.
I have Thunderbird up and running on the beta without an problems.

No problem switching jwm too. Could be because of your previous icewm experiment? Check contents of $HOME/.fatdog/windowpanel.
Try restarting openbox like this (from terminal): "restartwm openbox lxpanel" or otherwise delete that file.
In my laptop, idling with radeon open source driver my temp hovers around 65 C, with ATI driver it is 45 C.
after you turn on the BC-wl service, reboot. Some cards require reboot before it works properly with wl (mine is one of those).
Is the filesystem where the save directory exist ext2/3/4? Assuming you start with a "fresh" save directory, there shouldn't be anything in /root/spot/.mozilla. Save directory can be anywhere. You cannot convert from savefile to save directory (at least not easily) - you can switch between them, however (just like you can switch between multiple savefiles).
Your success of using previous savefile depends on how much customisation you have done on it, especially if it involves kernel modules - new releases normally come with new kernels which make previous kernel modules stop working.
Thank you for your advice on grub2, I'm sure it's useful for others too.

WP8 TV Advert Starring Holly Willoughby
The latest celebrity endorsement for WP besides the beautiful Jessica Alba is a star more popular in the UK (personally never heard of her, but a quick Google & IMDB cleared that up); the ad is simple clean and slightly "funny" in a cute way. Touching up on Kids Corner, Me Tiles, Live Tiles and WP in general, not too shabby. Plus it's all shown on a Lumia 920 (Ad is obviously by Microsoft and not Nokia).
Category: Lumia, Nokia, Video, Windows Phone
About the Author (Author Profile)Hey, my name's Ali- Currently a fifth (and final) year Dental Student from Chicago; studying in Jordan. I love all sorts of gadgets almost as much as I love my cookies! Be sure to follow my Twitter handle @AliQudsi and Subcribe to my Youtube for the latest videos - no pressure. Thanks.
Sorry for interrupting, but this is a very intersting post I saw.
Do we have a chance to make ourselves rich like Apple shareholders?
Tell your friends and your friends´ friends around the world
to consider Nokia and take some thoughts out of my post here:
Nokia Is a Wide-Ranging Company and The Stock is With Hidden Value Right Now
Nokia does not only make phones.
Nokia´s feature-phone division is doing well, because of Asha phones.
Nokia has not lost about 1 billion dollars a quarter like the media says, because Nokia has 5 business parts and 4 of them are profitable. Therefore, the exact number is much much smaller.
Nokia´s loss is only 17 million euros any more (compared to Reuters´s consensus 277 million and Nokia´s last two previous quarters about 290 million each), this was much better.
Nokia Siemens Networks is doing very strongly (over 300 million euros profit in 3Q. More business to come in the future: 3G in developing countries, 4G in developed and emerging countries)
NAVTEQ was also profitable, NAVTEQ´s number might be better in 4Q, because of the deals with Amazon, Yahoo, Oracle and many car-companies.
Nokia´s patent portfolio earns about 500 million euros a year, and the number is still increasing.
Nokia has cut expenses (which saves about 1 billion euros a year) and in the future Nokia does not have to spend so much in R&D either, because it has teamed up with Microsoft.
Nokia´s WP 8 devices will hit more markets, for example the Middle-East countries (Lumia phones have not been in these countries yet till now).
New Lumia generation looks promising.
Lumia 920 beats iPhone 5 and Galaxy S III with these features:
Floating-lens PureView camera with optical image stabilization
Wireless charging
Super sensitive and bright screen that can be used with gloves or finger nails
Premium GPS that can be used also offline
Augmented reality City Lens
Free music with no advertisements
Lumia 920 also beats iPhone 5 with NFC
Lumia 920 does not only have a great low-light camera, but also has exceptional audio recording quality due to the 3 HAAC Rich-recording microphones.
Right now, there is no way to compare Nokia to Apple among most smart phone consumers, but there is hope in the future.
For example, Nokia just signed the contract with China Mobile (who has about 660 million subscribers, which is about 70% of all subscribers in this world´s biggest nation), and even though iPhone is very popular in the US and Europe, Windows Phone OS already surpasses iOS in the world´s biggest countries beside China, such as Brasil, India and Russia. Even though in these countries more low price point phones are sold, but these are the most important emerging giants in the world where Nokia´s position and brand are still quite strong. And it may be sooner than we think when more people in these countries are able to afford high end smart phones.
Nokia has not lost about 1 billion dollars a quarter as the media says, because its other parts of business are profitable (while 1Q´s and 2Q´s total loss 290 million each, 3Q´s total loss only 17 million euros any more). Therefore, 3.6 billion euros net cash should be enough for Nokia´s transition period before WP8 phones take off. There is still enough room for a third ecosystem in this world, beside emerging markets Europe has adopted WP phones in a very encouraging way (for example Italy has already over 10% market share for WP phones, considering the Lumia debut has not been a year yet, since last November only. WP OS has already grown a lot faster compared to iOS and Android in their first quarters). Lumias were sold 9,9 million units under a year. The number is small compared to Iphones and Androids sold today, but it is not a bad start. It is more fair to compare the numbers among the 3 in their first year.
Now when the DOWS and S&P have almost hit all time highs, investors start to think more about cheap and potential value stocks. NOK is now only about 0.8x book value, and usually NYSE stocks are on an average about 2x book value (Apple about 6x book value). Therefore, I think NOK is cheap enough for its values. Another reason is NOK has been already shorted massively about 19% of its total shares.
Apart from Vertu and so on, Nokia still can sell its patents, since it still has about 30 000 patents in its own hands (in case Nokia needs more cash).
If the stock price still goes cheaper and cheaper, one day some rival would bid for Nokia, just for its patents ( Motorola was acquired by Google with 12 billion dollars, this is good to remind people who underestimate intellectual properties´ value).
Microsoft will bid for Nokia with higher premium if some company really bids for Nokia, because Nokia is in so close partnership with Microsoft that this also includes business strategies, business secrets and so on. Therefore, Microsoft won´t let any company acquire Nokia than itself. When it comes to Microsoft, it is still the net cash king in the world, after all its debts excluded, it still has a huge net cash about 50 billion dollars.
About Nokia´s buy out: Motorola´s patents were worth about 5.5 billion, if some company bids for Nokia´s patents and Microsoft still does not acquire Nokia, Nokia will be sold in parts. Nokia has 5 business parts, therefore patent portfolio is only 1 out of 5. Now, you can count yourself how much are Nokia Siemens Networks, NAVTEQ, and feature-phone division worth.
I know US is very important market, because Wall Street and US consumer trend give directions to market momentum around the world, still you can not neglect the power of BRIC and MIST these days.
You can calculate yourself how many people living in these 8 BRIC- and MIST-countries. In these countries, in Brazil, Russia, India, China, Mexico, Indonesia and Turkey, Nokia´s position and brand are still quite strong (except South-Korea, but you know it is Samsung´s home-country and the smallest country among those important 8 anyway).
Morningstar (a very big analyzing firm in investings) about Nokia:
Share price assumption at this moment: 2.40 euro
Best scenario (if WP8 phones go well): the stock price will go to about 7.70 euro per share)
Worst scenario: no bankruptcy, because Nokia would be sold in parts before that.
Estimated price for this: intellectual properties over 1 euro per share; other business parts (smartphones, featurephones, NSN) at least over 1.50 euro per share.
And NAVTEQ´s price not included (Nokia bought NAVTEQ with 5.7 billion euro). All in all, even in this case, Nokia share price would be at least over 2.50 euro, excluded NAVTEQ.
(Nokia is listed in New York and Helsinki. November 9, Nokia in Helsinki 2.09 euro and in New York 2.65 dollar.
If you want to buy, you can ask your own bank).
Nokia also announced it is hiring more employees to work in Chicago (where NAVTEQ is). Who says Nokia is going bankrupt? Think twice before saying that!
Nokia also bought Scaladon, the imaging technology firm in Sweden. Therefore, apart from NAVTEQ and NSN, Nokia is no doubt going big with PureView imaging technology. Some authors compare Nokia to Eastman-Kodak, I think it is almost the opposite.
Eastman-Kodak was the old era and Nokia is starting the new evolution with smart-phone imaging, when consumers won´t have to carry another gadget (camera) during traveling.
One of the reasons why Nokia is one of the most defensive stocks right now during bear markets is that Nokia has been already shorted massively about 19% of its total shares (while Apple only about 0.5%, Samsung over 2%, and other telecom companies about 4% in general).
By the way, NAVTEQ just reported it is making navigators into 4 out of 5 cars (80%).
And I hope Nokia will license City Lens to tablet makers like Amazon, Asus, Acer etc (at the same time it can turn Google maps users into using Nokia´s advanced mapping platform) soon.
When also Nokia´s Devices & Services division is profitable as well, will you ever have a chance to buy NOK stock this cheap again? The answer might be: NEVER.
Another aspect is, when now NOK has been already shorted massively about 19% of its total shares, bears could not go any further, because the share number that is available for borrowing/renting has already hit record high.
If bears still dare to sell, there are plenty of happy buyers out there, for example Switzerland´s central bank has announced it had bought more NOK shares and has become the 5th biggest shareholder in Nokia.
Considering now the total loss is about 17 million euros, it got much better from the 290 million (2 prior quarters each) loss.
3.6 billion euros net cash should be enough for Nokia´s transitional period before WP8 phones take off.
Nokia is also getting more cash from convertible bonds and selling its HQ and other non-core assets.
Nokia is a big chance and good bargain at 3 dollars, because Nokia Siemens Networks has grown so strongly and profitable that Nokia and Siemens have decided to make it independent in these couple of years. That means Nokia shareholders will have two companies´ shares in their hands.This is a bonus.
The conclusion is Nokia is for long-term and medium-term investing not for short term. Just think about this, even when Apple and Google reach 1000 dollars, that is not even doubling, but in the long term Nokia has the opportunity to triple or even more. Caleb Evans

McHenry County Public Health Administrator Patrick McNulty had the County Board over a barrel Tuesday when it came to restoring cuts to breast and cervical cancer screening.
As I wrote in today's paper, a number of board members were not happy with McNulty coming before the board to ask that $40,000 be restored to the program in the last six weeks of the 2011 fiscal year. It passed Tuesday morning, 17-5, just one vote more than the two-thirds majority needed for an emergency appropriation.
But displeasure aside, who wants to be the politician with a primary looming who votes against funding during the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month? Who wants to be stingy with $40,000 when the County Board has more than $47 million in reserve?
And who wants to vote no on the same morning that the Northwest Herald printed in pink to raise awareness, as County Board member Paula Yensen, D-Lake in the Hills, pointed out? (For the record, the pink newspaper on the morning of the vote was coincidence.)
The main opposition to restoring the funding came from the members of the Finance and Audit Committee who opposed it. Chairman Scott Breeden, R-Lakewood, made clear his support of cancer screening, noting that he lost both his parents in their fifties to the disease. But he said that McNulty was going around the established budget process that has kept the county solvent while so many others in Illinois are not.
Both Breeden and John Hammerand, R-Wonder Lake, told McNulty that he had a responsibility to try to live within the cuts.
"I believe it's incumbent on administrators, when the County Board cuts a line item, that they spend less money during that year," Hammerand said.
Neither Breeden nor Hammerand fully accepted McNulty's explanation that he was told he could return to the County Board to ask for more at the end of the year, depending on what the county had left to give. Both members alleged that McNulty did not bother to rein anything in as a result: Breeden said it looked to him like simply coming back was what the health department had in mind "all along," while Hammerand said McNulty "did not expend in a forthright manner."
It was the precedent, not the money, that had opponents just as concerned. If the County Board undid one budget cut for a good cause, other departments may try to follow the health department's lead. "All the other departments will be back at us," Ersel Schuster, R-Woodstock, said.
But other board members rallied to support the program. Public Health and Human Services Committee Chairwoman Virginia Peschke, R-Woodstock, chided board members for not seeing the difference between regular county programs and others, like this one, "where lives are involved."
Peschke said that the money has run out not because of bad planning, but because the program is popular and getting more so every year. The program saw 400 cases when it started in 2007, and saw more than 1,000 for the first half of this year. Eleven women so far this year were diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer.
"[The funding] isn't, 'We want to buy computers or increase our space,' or anything of the sort," Peschke said.
Board member Mary McCann, R-Woodstock, pointed out the county's healthy cash reserve, which can fund almost seven months of operations.
"Forty thousand out of that total reserve seems insignificant," McCann said.
The lone audience member who spoke during public comment prior to the debate indirectly reminded board members that rejecting restoring funding would come with a political cost next year. Audience member Terry Kappel, who asked the board to restore the $40,000, is running as a Democrat for County Board next year.
"In my opinion, screening women in need ... that's not [budget] fat. That's a program there to provide a needed service in the community who can't afford it otherwise," Kappel said.
There were two proposed amendments to the health department's request. While County Board member Nick Provenzano in the end voted in favor of restoring funding, he proposed an amendment for the county and McNulty to first scour the health department's budget to see if $40,000 could be found. The amendment died on a 9-13 vote.
A motion by Hammerand to restore only $26,000 was resoundingly defeated by voice vote.

With "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" in theaters now, we're counting down the 10 most quoteworthy lines from the original. Stay classy, Columbus!
10. "The Human Torch was denied a bank loan." — Ron Burgundy
Ron's improvised pre-air vocal drills were all pretty funny, but this one tells an evocative story. Financial times are tough, even when you're made of fire.
9. "I read somewhere their periods attract bears. Bears can smell the menstruation." — Brick Tamland
"Well, that's just great. You hear that, Ed? Bears. Now you're putting the whole station in jeopardy."
8. "Milk was a bad choice." — Ron Burgundy
When your life falls into the gutter — getting fired, losing the woman for whom you wanted to scream your love from the top of a mountain — don't turn to the carton. It never does any good.
7. "Dorothy Mantooth is a saint!" — Wes Mantooth
Next time somebody insults your mother, this is your comeback.
6. "I'm Ron Burgundy?" — Ron Burgundy
Yes, Ron will read anything you type on the teleprompter, punctuation included. This line also hints at the existential storm that swirls within Ron. Ask yourself, who am I really? Deep, man. Deep.
5. "Good evening, San Diego. I'm Veronica Corningstone. Tits McGee has the night off." — Veronica Corningstone
The fact that Veronica was much smarter than the men around her was never more evident than with this graceful deflection of a Ron prank.
4. "What? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate a whole wheel of cheese? How'd you do that? Heck, I'm not even mad. That's amazing." — Ron Burgundy
Baxter is truly an amazing dog. He can speak Spanish, befriend bears and even survive being punted off a bridge. This is still his greatest accomplishment.
3. "Smells like Bigfoot's dick!" — random news station employee
The entirety of Brian Fantana "musk up" scene is hilarious, but this description of what Sex Panther (by Odeon) smells like is just ridiculously funny and precisely descriptive in a way you don't want it to be.
2. "I love lamp." — Brick Tamland
We can learn a lot from sweet, stupid Brick, like the importance of telling people — or inanimate objects — that you love them.
1. "I'm in a glass case of emotion!" — Ron Burgundy
As the culmination to Ron's manic, despondent screams about what a bad man did to Baxter, it's just brilliant. And haven't we all been in a glass cage of emotion from time to time?

Give the gift: AdoptNovember 20,2012
Give the gift: Adopt
Do you believe every child deserves a family? We do.
Thousands of children in America live day-to-day moving from home to home, without the love and care of permanent families. November is National Adoption Awareness Month and as we celebrate all forms of adoption as a wonderful way to create or extend families, I would like to draw your attention to a very special group of children right here in America who desperately need families.
Today, more than 100,000 children are in foster care through no fault of their own as victims of child abuse, neglect or abandonment, and have been permanently removed from their homes. These children urgently need to move from temporary foster homes into permanent, loving, forever families. We arent talking about someone elses children; we are talking about children in our very own Vermont. In Vermont, there are over 100 children waiting to be adopted.
The need has never been greater. Children often wait five years or more to be adopted, can move three or more times in foster care, and frequently are separated from siblings. And tragically, tens of thousands of children available for adoption turn 18 and leave the system each year without families.
So, we invite the community to learn; donate; adopt; and support the work of organizations like the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption that find children in foster care the forever families that they deserve.

Assistant District Attorney Terry Breen was seeking a 25-year sentence for the 51-year-old Luna, who was found guilty of all three indictments on May 21.
The indictments alleged Luna engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct with a 9-year-old Goliad girl. Luna faced a penalty of 2 to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000 on each charge.
Luna immediately filed for an appeal bond and could be released as soon as Tuesday. Breen said he expects the appeal process to last one to two years before Luna begins serving his sentence. Luna was still in custody at the Goliad County Jail as of 3 p.m. Tuesday.
Defense attorney Brent Dornburg called 13 character witnesses, including three daughters and one son of Luna and Luna's girlfriend. Dornburg requested Luna receive five years probation.
The family of the 9-year-old girl moved next door to Luna in August 2011. Breen said the girl became acquainted with Luna and went to his house several times. According to the girl's testimony, Luna exposed himself to the girl during the summer of 2012. Breen said the girl testified how Luna fondled himself on another occasion while she exposed herself to him.
Breen said the girl quit going to Luna's residence in November 2012. According to Breen, the girl made inappropriate sexual comments to a schoolmate, who informed a teacher. Breen said the girl's principal called her in and the girl explained what had happened to her at Luna's residence.
Breen called Corpus Christi Police Department computer forensic investigator Pat Patterson as a witness Tuesday. Patterson investigated the contents of Luna's iPad and said 30 percent of the "cookies" he found on the computer were from pornographic websites. Patterson said Luna was the only listed user of the iPad.
The girl, who sat in the courtroom Tuesday and sobbed during the testimony, said Luna showed her the TV series "Jersey Shore" before showing her soft pornography and offering her the use of sex toys.
Dornburg called Jeff Pozzi of the Victoria County Probation Office to the stand. Breen asked Pozzi about the stages of "grooming" that sexual predators use when trying to gain the trust of children.
"It starts as showing books, movies," Pozzi said. "It's gradual. They don't use sexually explicit material at the outset. It leads up to that stage."
"This was a classic case of 'grooming' this child," Breen told Williams. "It was stopped soon enough before the ultimate act.
"What he did was extraordinarily evil. She was just his toy. He used her. … He is not a nice person. The people who think he is nice don't know his dark side."

HARRISBURG, PA — If Pennsylvania politicians were to accept Medicaid expansion as part of the national Affordable Care Act, which is also known as Obamacare, more than half a million Pennsylvania residents who currently have no health insurance would receive it, and according to the Independent Fiscal Office, the state would save $154 million each year.
Governor Tom Corbett has said he has not made a decision on the matter because in his view it is fiscally unsustainable, even though for the first three years the federal government would pick up 100% of the cost, and thereafter no less than 95%, leaving the state paying no more than 5% of the cost.
It looked for a while that through the budget process, lawmakers were going to force the governor to accept the program. On June 28, the Senate voted with a bipartisan majority of 40 to 10 to include expanded Medicaid as part of the budget process. But two days later, the House took the language out of the legislation and sent it back to the Senate.
According to a press release from Senate Democrats, House Majority Leader Mike Turzai indicated that Senate Republicans knew about the House Republicans' plans to remove the language from the legislation and agreed to go along with it.
Democratic Leader Senator Jay Costa and Democratic Appropriations Chair Senator Vincent J. Hughes went so far as to say they did not believe their Republican colleagues would behave that way. They wrote, "We have the utmost respect for Sen. Pileggi and Sen. Pat Vance and do not believe they would have acted disingenuously and participated in a ruse. We do not believe Republican leadership would abuse the legislative process or the integrity of the Senate by advancing a measure which they knew would fail."
The next day on July 3, however, they changed their tune entirely as they criticized Republican senators, this time for voting against the expansion.
Hughes wrote, "I'm deeply disappointed that Senate Republicans voted against putting Medicaid expansion language back in House Bill 1075… The collective will of the Senate is clearly being ignored. I cannot understand why my colleagues on the Republican side of the aisle voted overwhelmingly for Medicaid expansion just a few days ago but today failed to back up that vote with action."
Setbacks for Corbett
Corbett got his way on the question of expanded Medicaid, but on other issues he was not so successful. He hoped to have legislation in place by the end of June that would have privatized the spirits industry in the state, doing away with the decades-old state store system. But the House and the Senate proposed different versions of the legislation. The House would have the state stores completely eliminated, while the Senate would have the state stores remain and compete with private stores. Supporters of privatization say they will take up the matter again in the fall when lawmakers return from their summer break.
Another important agenda item for Corbett was a transportation bill to help pay to repair the state's crumbling infrastructure, but that too failed to materialize. The suggested way of raising the necessary revenue is to lift the cap on the tax on the wholesale price of gas, and many members of the Republican-controlled legislature are opposed to that sort of tax increase.

CPSC's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) is a national probability sample of hospitals in the U.S. and its territories. Patient information is collected from each NEISS hospital for every emergency visit involving an injury associated with consumer products. From this sample, the total number of product-related injuries treated in hospital emergency rooms nationwide can be estimated. This web access to NEISS allows certain estimates to be retrieved on-line. These estimates can be focused by setting some or all of the following variables (and an example of each):
For example, the following query could be made: number of males between the ages of 50 and 70 treated in hospital emergency rooms between February 1999 and October 1999 for injuries associated with use of a ladder at home. The response would include the actual number of cases/injuries in the NEISS sample, and an estimate for the entire nation.
The product or products involved are chosen using NEISS product codes. It is extremely important to understand what codes apply to the date range specified in the query, as NEISS product codes change over time. Up to three product codes, or ranges of product codes, can be specified in a given query. The following sources will help you with choosing the appropriate product codes (note: pdf means that the document is in portable document format and if you have not done so already, requires downloading Adobe™ Acrobat™ software to be viewed):
Other sources of NEISS information:
We have recently added a new feature which allows you to preview, and then download, all cases meeting your query criteria. The download includes not only the parameters associated with each case, but also a narrative description of important aspects of each case. This feature is only available for queries with a "From" treatment date of January 1, 2002 or later.
