Focus on Economic Data: U.S. Employment and the Unemployment Rate, November 4, 2011
This lesson examines the November 4, 2011, U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), announcement of employment data and the unemployment rate for the month of October, 2011. This lesson introduces the basic concepts of the BLS employment and unemployment data. The meaning and importance of the data are discussed. Assessment exercises are included for reinforcing knowledge of the concepts.
Business Cycles, Employment Rate, Labor Force, Labor Market, Macroeconomic Indicators, Recession, Unemployment, Unemployment Rate
- Review the most recently reported U.S. employment and unemployment data.
- Determine the changes in U.S. employment and unemployment from the past month and year.
- Determine the factors that have influenced the change in the U.S. unemployment rate.
- Explain the implications of the employment and unemployment data for individuals, population groups, and the U.S. economy.
Current Key Economic Indicatorsas of November 30, -0001
Each month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) releases data from the monthly "Household Survey" conducted by the Bureau of the Census, providing a comprehensive body of information on the employment and unemployment experience of the U.S. population, classified by age, sex, race, and a variety of other characteristics.
The BLS also conducts the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program, surveying about 150,000 businesses and government agencies, representing approximately 390,000 individual work sites, in order to provide detailed industry data on employment, hours, and earnings of workers on nonfarm payrolls.
The BLS compiles information from these sources and announces the monthly "Employment Situation," reporting the current U.S. employment and unemployment data estimates. The monthly announcement reports employment data from the previous full month.
This lesson is about the November 4, 2011, BLS announcement, "Employment Situation: October, 2011." This lesson will also look at regional data and industry trends.
[Teacher Note: Employment and Unemployment Rate Focus on Economic Data Schedule:
During the first half of the 2011-2012 school year, (September-December), EconEdLink will publish four Focus on Economic Data lessons on "employment and the unemployment rate." During this time period, the lessons will begin with the 'basics' in September and progressively focus more on complex data, issues and comparisons. All monthly Focuses on Economic Data will include the current data and significant recent changes.
- September: Employment and unemployment data basics. What is employment? What is the unemployment rate? How are they measured? What is the current data? What do they mean?
- October: Details and issues about the measurement and meaning of employment and unemployment, adding concepts such as underemployment, full employment, etc.
- November: Detailed breakdown of the data by region and industry (trends and comparisons of regions and demographic groups (THIS LESSON)
- December: The relationships of employment and unemployment data to other economic data, such as GDP, CPI, etc., and the business cycle. Plus a year-end review of employment and unemployment data and trends.
For additional information about the Employment and Unemployment data announcements, teachers should visit these websites:

BLS, Employment and Unemployment FAQs.
Key Economic Indicatorsas of November 4, 2011
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U increased 0.3 percent in September after increasing 0.4 percent in August. The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.1 percent in September after increasing 0.2 percent in August.
Employment and Unemployment
Nonfarm payroll employment continued to trend up in October (+80,000), and the unemployment rate was little changed at 9.0 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment in the private sector rose, with modest job growth continuing in professional and businesses services, leisure and hospitality, health care, and mining. Government employment continued to trend down.
Real GDP
Real gross domestic product increased at an annual rate of 2.5 percent in the third quarter of 2011 according to the "advance" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the second quarter, real GDP increased 1.3 percent.
Federal Reserve
The FOMC decided to keep the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent and currently anticipates that economic conditions--including low rates of resource utilization and a subdued outlook for inflation over the medium run--are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate at least through mid-2013."
The U.S. economy added 80,000 jobs in October, 2011. The August and September employment figures were adjusted to add an additional 112,000 new jobs. In total, the U.S. economy has added 340,000 jobs over three months.
Sounds like good news - right? Even with these new jobs, the U.S. unemployment rate is still 9.0 percent.
The "unemployment rate" is determined by a fairly simple formula: the percentage of the labor force that are unemployed. The "employment rate" is the simply the opposite, the percentage of the labor force who are employed, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' definition of "employed."
The actual determination of the unemployment rate, measuring the size of the labor force, how it changes, and determining who is employed or unemployed - is not so simple. Take the October, 2011, employment data for example. The number of non-farm jobs in the United States increased by 80,000, but the unemployment rate dropped less than 0.1 percent.
Read the October, 2011, labor force, employment, and unemployment data to better understand the meaning of U.S. employment data and the unemployment rate.
The Employment Situation – October 2011
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
November 4, 2011
"Nonfarm payroll employment continued to trend up in October (+80,000), and the unemployment rate was little changed at 9.0 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment in the private sector rose, with modest job growth continuing in professional and businesses services, leisure and hospitality, health care, and mining. Government employment continued to trend down."
Despite job gains in recent months, the recovery of U.S. jobs lost during the 2007-2009 recession has been slow. Most of the recent recessions have been followed by much faster recoveries. Figure 1, below, shows the monthly national unemployment rates from 1990 to the present. Note the "cycles" of increases, highs, decreases, and low rates. These are generally consistent with the business cycles identified by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). Link to NBER business cycle information: www.nber.org/cycles/general_statement.html
The BLS releases monthly data on employment – the number of people working – and unemployment – the number of people not working and looking for jobs. The October data showed some improvement, but not what is needed to show that the United States economy is healthy again and creating enough jobs to reduce the unemployment rate. The consensus estimate of economists is that the economy must create 150,000-200,000 jobs each month just to keep up with population growth and the natural increase in the size of the labor force.
Take a look at the highlights of the October, 2011, employment and unemployment data.
Household Survey Data - Unemployment
"Both the number of unemployed persons (13.9 million) and the unemployment rate (9.0 percent) changed little over the month. The unemployment rate has remained in a narrow range from 9.0 to 9.2 percent since April."
Figure 2, below, shows the key U.S. labor force data from the November 2, 2011, BLS press release.

The BLS now collects more data on part-time employees who would like to work full-time, marginally attached workers, and discouraged workers. These workers may represent "hidden unemployment." To be technically counted as unemployed, you have to be actively looking for work. If you have given-up, you are no longer "unemployed."
Question: Should those who can't find jobs suited to their skills, those who are involuntarily working part-time, or those who have given-up trying to find a job be counted as unemployed?
[Teacher Note: This may be an interesting discussion for your students. For definitions of these labor market groups, go to the BLS Glossary. www.bls.gov/bls/glossary.htm

Question: Why are there such differences between the demographic groups?
[Teacher Note: Students may want discuss the breakdown of unemployment by demographic group. Almost 24 percent of teenagers (age 16-19) are unemployed and looking for jobs. What impact might this have on the society and the teenagers? Why are there such differences between ethic and racial groups?
Also - take a look at the unemployment rates for people with different levels of education in October, 2011, in Figure 3 below. Do your students see a pattern?]
For more information about unemployment rates and income for groups by educational attainment, go to this BLS website: Education Pays .
Establishment Survey Data – Employment
The November 4 BLS press release commented about the industries that grew in October. "In October, private-sector employment increased by 104,000, with continued job growth in professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, health care, and mining. Government employment continued to contract in October."
See the BLS November 4 press release "Establishment Survey Data" section, www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm for details.
Question: How do you assess the October employment data?
- What industries are growing?
- What industries are not growing or shrinking?
- Are there patterns?
Ask your students if this pattern makes sense to them. What – if any – is the pattern? Although their interpretations may be just speculation, they should be able to identify general trends in the economy.]
Regional, State, and Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment – September 2011
The BLS also collects and releases data on employment and unemployment in the several geographic regions of the United States and metropolitan areas. The most recent news release on state and regional unemployment data was on October 21, 2011, for the month of September, 2011. The most recent news release on metropolitan area employment and unemployment data was made on November 2, 2011.
[Teacher Note: Students may be very interested in looking at the data for their region or city. How is their city's employment and unemployment situation similar of different from other cities or regions? Your State Employment Office may have more detailed information about employment in local areas and smaller cities.
- Metropolitan Areas Employment and Unemployment Regional and State Employment and Unemployment Summary
- Regional and State Employment and Unemployment
Highlights from the Regional and State News Release
"Regional and state unemployment rates were generally little changed in September. Twenty-five states recorded unemployment rate decreases, 14 states posted rate increases, and 11 states and the District of Columbia had no rate change, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Thirty-eight states registered unemployment rate decreases from a year earlier, 10 states and the District of Columbia had increases, and 2 states experienced no change. The national jobless rate was unchanged at 9.1 percent, but was 0.5 percentage point lower than a year earlier.
"Nevada continued to report the highest unemployment rate among the states, 13.4 percent in September. California posted the next highest rate, 11.9 percent."
"North Dakota registered the lowest jobless rate, 3.5 percent, followed by Nebraska, 4.2 percent."
"The West recorded the highest regional unemployment rate in September, 10.4 percent, while the Northeast reported the lowest rate, 8.2 percent."
The BLS webpage shows the current unemployment rates in the fifty states and a history of the states' rates in alphabetical order. Take a look at the column on the right side of the page. http://www.bls.gov/lau/#data

Highlights from the Metropolitan Area News Release
"Unemployment rates were lower in September than a year earlier in 249 of the 372 metropolitan areas, higher in 102 areas, and unchanged in 21 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Seven areas recorded jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, while 17 areas registered rates of less than 5.0 percent. Two hundred twenty-nine metropolitan areas reported over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment, 140 reported decreases, and 3 had no change. The national unemployment rate in September was 8.8 percent, not seasonally adjusted, down from 9.2 percent a year earlier."
"In September, 84 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, down from 106 areas a year earlier, while 95 areas posted rates below 7.0 percent, up from 72 areas in September 2010."
"El Centro, Calif., and Yuma, Ariz., recorded the highest unemployment rates in September 2011, 29.6 and 27.0 percent, respectively. The remaining five areas with jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent were located in California."
"Bismarck, N.D., registered the lowest unemployment rate, 2.5 percent. The areas with the next lowest rates were Fargo, N.D.-Minn., and Lincoln, Neb., 3.3 and 3.5 percent, respectively."
The BLS provides a website with a graphic showing a map of the metropolitan areas' with unemployment rates higher or lower than the national average. http://www.bls.gov/web/metro/mmartcr1.gif Take a look.
Question: How does your city or the largest metropolitan area near you compare to other metropolitan areas?

[Note to Teachers: The BLS report on annual state and regional employment and unemployment data for the year 2010 was released February 25, 2011. www.bls.gov/news.release/srgune.htm www.bls.gov/news.release/srgune.t01.htm .]
[Note to Teachers: The BLS also publishes individual "At a Glance" reports for each state and larger cities in those states. Students may be interested in looking at the data for their local area. www.bls.gov/eag/ ]
The last sections of this Employment and Unemployment lesson provide highlights of the state, region, and metropolitan area employment and unemployment data.
This data may not be quite as current as the national data that is released the first Friday of each month. It takes a little longer to organize the localized data.
Read the two BLS announcements:
- Regional and State Employment and Unemployment Summary
- Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment Summary ]
- How does your state compare to the national average and surrounding states?
- Are there regional patterns of unemployment in your area that are higher and lower than the national average?
- Which five states had the highest unemployment rates last reported month? Lowest?
- Did the unemployment rate decrease in any states last reported month?
- Why do you think your region or state differs from other regions or states, or the national employment and unemployment trends?
[Answers will vary. Students should show understanding of how their regional economy may differ or is similar to the nation or other regions. For instance, is their state more dependent on manufacturing? Is their state more agricultural?]
International Unemployment News
The BLS tracks the unemployment rates of ten industrialized nations. Their unemployment rates are adjusted to reflect unemployment concepts used in the United States. In September, 2011, the U.S. (9.1 percent on September) had the second highest unemployment rate among these nations, 0.3 percent below France. The nation with the lowest unemployment rate was Japan, at 3.8 percent. Take a look at these international comparisons at www.bls.gov/ilc/intl_unemployment_rates_monthly.htm#Rtable1
Short Answer Questions:
1. What do you think accounts for differences in the unemployment rates between states and regions?
[Their answer should show some understanding of the meaning of unemployment rates and an awareness of the characteristics of their state and/or region.]
2. What does the trend in the unemployment rate tell you about the health of the economy?
[Students should be able to explain how increased unemployment impacts incomes and economic growth - the health of the economy.]
The U.S. economy created 80,000 new jobs in October 2011 - not enough to keep up with the monthly increase in the size of the labor force from new entrants. Yet, the unemployment rate decreased by just about 0.1 percent.
Remember, the unemployment rate is determined by the number of unemployed and the size of the labor force. The number of unemployed decreased by 95,000 in October. Where did they go?
Be careful not to compare the "Household Survey" and "Establishment Survey" without accounting for their differences. The Household Survey counts people who have self-reported their employment, unemployment or active job search. The Establishment Survey counts the number employed (reported to be employed) by business firms. Sometimes, these numbers go in opposite directions.
9.0 percent is still a very high unemployment rate for this length of time. Except for a brief period in early 2011, the U.S. unemployment has been at or over 9.0 percent since May of 2009. Previously, the U.S. unemployment rate had fluctuated between 4 and 6 percent between 2001 and 2008.
If the economy truly "recovers" from the recession, employment should pick-up as business hire more workers to meet increased demand for goods and services. Keep an eye on real GDP growth and employment through future "Focus on Economic Data" lessons.

Using DTrace with GHC
GHC 6.13 includes DTrace probes in the runtime system. Currently, these probes correspond to the events of the EventLog framework and are only available on Mac OS X (from Leopard onwards).
It is straight forward to extend the current implementation with additional probes, and due to the lightweight nature of DTrace, new probes could inspect the runtime system and running Haskell program in an even more fine-grained manner.
Probe description
The following probes are available:
create-thread (capability, tid)
- Triggered when a new runtime thread is created. Reports the capability on which the thread is created and the new thread's thread id.
run-thread (capability, tid)
- Indicates that the given thread starts to run on the specified capability.
stop-thread (capability, tid)
- The identified thread stops execution on the given capability.
Probe definition
The provider is defined as follows:
provider HaskellEvent { // scheduler events probe create__thread (EventCapNo, EventThreadID); probe run__thread (EventCapNo, EventThreadID); probe stop__thread (EventCapNo, EventThreadID, EventThreadStatus); probe thread__runnable (EventCapNo, EventThreadID); probe migrate__thread (EventCapNo, EventThreadID, EventCapNo); probe run__spark (EventCapNo, EventThreadID); probe steal__spark (EventCapNo, EventThreadID, EventCapNo); probe shutdown (EventCapNo); probe thread_wakeup (EventCapNo, EventThreadID, EventCapNo); probe gc__start (EventCapNo); probe gc__end (EventCapNo); probe request__seq__gc (EventCapNo); probe request__par__gc (EventCapNo); probe create__spark__thread (EventCapNo, EventThreadID); // other events probe startup (EventCapNo); probe user__msg (EventCapNo, char *); probe gc__idle (EventCapNo); probe gc__work (EventCapNo); probe gc__done (EventCapNo); };
where we have
typedef uint32_t EventThreadID; typedef uint16_t EventCapNo; typedef uint16_t EventThreadStatus;
The two events
EVENT_LOG_MSG and
EVENT_BLOCK_MARKER are not supported. The former doesn't appear to be used and the latter appears to be an artefact of the event log file format.
User-space DTrace probes are implemented differently on Mac OS X than in the original DTrace implementation; see under the heading BUILDING CODE CONTAINING USDT PROBES in the Mac OS X dtrace man page. Nevertheless, it shouldn't be too hard to enable these probes on other platforms, too.

AICS Airsoft Stock for rimfire conversion review
Well after getting motivated by several posts here on Marlins, Savages, etc. getting retrofitted into airsoft rifle stocks and talking not only through the threads but PMs also to those that have done it, I was impressed, intrigued and committed to dropping a rimfire into one.
I had a CZ455 Varmint on order, and thought they both would compliment each othe with their styling, so I purchased and had the stock in my possesion long before the rifle arrived.
I chose a Wells G-96 folder for a few reasons. One, it was the model others had used, and I didn't want to take a risk in getting another that didn't have the aluminum skeleton. Perhaps they all have them, I don't know squat about airsoft other than they are usually a replica dimension wise to the rifle they are decoying.
Two, it had other nice features: a removable magazine that housed the pellets and air resivoir (actually quite heavy), the butt stock monopod (probably will not use it, but hey it is a feature), it folded for compactness, it has the magazine well situated in the "right place" to match up with the action of the rifle without having to cut more plastic, the forestock has the bipod / handstop rail cut out. It is also adjustable for length of pull via spacers, and sports a pretty nice rubber butt pad. It also has an up and down, side to side adjustable cheek rest and is thumbscrew loosening and tightening for height only. Side to side is achieved by allen wrench. A large barrel channel ensures a free float of the barrel.
Third, it actually comes with a quick detachable 3 sided rail where the traditional AICS bipod attaches. Though I will be using a harris in a more customary sling stud mounting, the tri rail is still an added feature for pest removal at night with a light. The bonyard variety had the bipod missing, but that's ok as the quality of it may be questionable.
From researching, the only 3 airsoft rifles that have those features are the Well G-96 around $250.00, G&G armament between $350.00 - $450.00, and a Tanaka around $450.00+. But if you are patient and search, you can pick up a Well G-96 in the "airsoft boneyards" (inoperable rifles for parts) on many airsoft suppliers. I had picked mine up for $99.00. Just by using price as a comparison, I take it those three are of a higher quality than others. Many of the others range between $25.00 to $75.00 in the boneyards.
Moving on, I have to say to my surprise I was really shocked and delighted to find the quality of the Well G-96. A VERY heavy stock / rifle with tons of features, a pretty comfy stock that is dimentionally a duplicate of the real AICS folder Real on top, airsoft on bottom). Only difference I can notice is the shroud that goes around the bolt handle cut out:
A quick picture of the magazine and well. My plan is to use the magazine for "looks" and to also hide the 10 round rimfire magazine once the internals of the airsoft magazine are removed. I chose to use a 10 round magazine as it will be easier to reload / grasp reaching into the magazine well cavity when the CZ goes in. The internals are easily removed and the bottom plate of the magazine slides off, allowing access to the real magazine underneath, or if not interested in keeping the high capacity centerfire look, the airsoft magazine can be removed.
For the price, when compared to say a "tacticool" stock, I began to think that this was the better way to go. So then I took it apart, the grip area shows pins that help hold the "clamshelled stock" together and give it more rigidity. Also a view of the bottom forestock, and a top view of the inlet.
The 2 sections articulate on a pinned hinge, 2 set screws loosened and a few taps of the pin had the sections seperated. The two sections felt more solid than I had expected, but still had a little play in it. Once removed, I took black electrical tape and wrapped both the hinge mechanisms where it inserts into the square aluminum skeleton once with black electrical tape to act as a shim. When put back together the "slop" was greatly reduced and improved the rigidness once the stock was locked into the open position.
An exploded view shows that this stock does have many parts. You can see that ther is a square aluminum skeletal frame, if you are curious enough to break it down this far, take pictures and notes to make sure you can reassemble it.
I was very impressed by the skeletal system and other attachments considering the original use of the stock. The sling attachments in the front and rear did rattle a bit, so I used the electrical tape method mentioned earlier to deaden the noise, and followed up by doing that shim technique to all adjoining parts in the skeleton.
Once I continued with putting the rifle in the chassis (the actual install will be posted later) I realized a few things that actually make the stock stiffer, and felt confident enough that it would handle .17 hornet, .204 ruger, and a .223. Maybe even a .243, and possibly a .308. If you do take it apart to this extent, use loctight on the reassemble, be careful too not to strip out any screws as they are a bit on the chimsey side.
There are 2 bedding blocks that slide inside the square chassis that would be able to be used to shim and solidify the action spacing of many different rifles (further detail in the install post).
All in all, surprisingly a very good stock for what I paid for it ($99.00) and glad that I went on with the project. I didn't feel that it was a toy or a piece of junk that a rifle is screwed to, and will be searching for another stock for another rifle. If I were to do it again, I probably would have looked for a non-folding one as I'm sure it would be more rigid, but no real regrets of carrying on with the folder.
After a little simple fitting with basic tools, some basic mechanical ability, a few hardware items and a weekend, the AICS airsoft stock for a rimfire conversion gets a thumbs up so far without a performane test of the rifle.
There will be an upcoming post on the install (which looks and feels great by the way) but first I want to do a range report of before and after the install to see if the Airsoft stock added, lessened, or there's no change in consistancy / accuracy of the rifle itself.
Stay tuned, To be continued.

Re: AICS Airsoft Stock for rimfire conversion review
My questions is related to Well G96 stock vs. L96 stock, otherpeople used.
Here is a quote from sniperhide.com, where modification is done using Well L96 airsoft stock.
I amfinishing my CZ in L96 airsoft stock project. I have actually been able to move action forward so that the bolt handle fits in the existing stock bolt handle groove. Also the action and barrel look much better as it sits forward enought o match up with the ejection cut out. There were a couple of things that I saw in G96 that to me did not look right (having 2 bolt handle notches in the stock and also having the barrel and action sit too far back so that the barrel looks like it is in the area where the action should be) so I made improvements to mybuild. Both of these problems were solved by moving the action forward
You have done an outstanding job! From your experience: Would it be possible to install action/barrel into G96 and use existing action handle groove?
I could not figureout what G96 has that L96 doesn't. If someone know please explain. Thanks inadvance.

Re: AICS Airsoft Stock for rimfire conversion review
2 additional cents - Over the last few months, i sold my airsoft AICS stock and went to a tacticool to better mate up / have the same feel as my new centerfire rig.
still pretty much regret it, as the airsoft stock was definately more stable. the tacticool is a bit squishy and either pillar or other type of bedding is almost required for any serious setup. without it, the tacticool is very sensitive to torque pressure on the mounting screws. weather changes, and so does the POI, as little as a quarter turn on the screws and POI changes - and dramatically at that.

Date of Stay: July, 2009
Site we got had no sewer hookup. Sites were very close together as well. Manager was friendly.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
Could never get our RV leveled in the site we received and no other sites were available to us. They book solid with little or no leeway. Site we had was on the side of a hill. Also sites are very close together. Sites looked clean and were shady. Management was very friendly.
Date of Stay: April, 2009
I have stayed there half a dozen times in the last two years. This park is located up Spanish Fork Canyon right on Hwy 6 between I 15 and I 70 It is open all year round and there is a convenience store, gas station, and cafe located next door to the RV park as well. Its within 10 miles of Strawberry Reservoir for fishing. It is surrounded by mountains great for ATVing and Snowmobiling.
Date of Stay: March, 2009
This park was previously called East Carbon RV Park. I stayed from 2 March thru May 28 at 175 a month plus .10 kilowatt for power. The park is small and out of the way; 7 and 1/2 miles East of Hwy 6, 20 miles South of Price, Utah. There are no restrooms, showers, or laundry here. But there is a store in Sunnyside two miles further East. There is a restaurant in both Sunnyside and East Carbon as well as post offices in both. There is a drive inn in East Carbon as well less than a mile East of the park. Recommend calling ahead for availability because of the small size.
Date of Stay: January, 2009
After staying here for three months I found the managers were rude, as were some areas of the park who all stayed together. The power here leaves a lot to be desired with it going out often. My first location had a power pole problem and they would not believe me until it went down and they could not figure out the problem. Second site was better. Train just across the highway that runs daily and was noisy at night. Every one had a dog so lots of dogs barking.
Date of Stay: December, 2008
For my sewer hookup I needed to dig out the pipe and lower it down to somewhat be able to let sewage flow level or hopefully downhill. Told I would have 50 amp and only had 30 amp available. Have a train that passes by across the highway and also the highway has trucks running on it around the clock, so noisy.
Date of Stay: November, 2008
Sites are fairly level, close to freeway and town access a plus, restaurant available for dinners only also a plus, people working office are very friendly and helpful.
Date of Stay: May, 2008
The new owner is in the process of remodeling the park and adding 16 tent camping sites. He has 4 50 amp at present and the rest are 30 amp. He has moved all the permanent people basically to the front east side of the park.
Date of Stay: May, 2008
Nice locations, beautiful mountains around it, small town near by.
Date of Stay: May, 2008
Nice park, friendly managers, nice rec center. Going to spend a couple of days and see all the local sites.
Date of Stay: May, 2008
For an out of the way inexpensive park this one works. It is unknown to any but those who live in the area. There are 4 pull thrus and 4 back ins. No rest rooms, showers, or laundry. Just an RV park in the middle of nowhere. Its 7 miles east of Highway 6 on Highway 123. They have 4 50 amp and 4 30 amp hookups.
Date of Stay: May, 2008
Only stayed one night but this is the second time we have been there. Last time was two years ago for Easter. I found the managers friendly and helpful, the site was good with ease of use. Did use the Wi-Fi and it worked great.
Date of Stay: December, 2007
I am staying here for a total of two and a half months. Its easy access from major highways. Close to shopping. Has a laundromat. I am paying by the month and they also have a weekly rate. My nightly rate might be a little high not sure but I know it is that much or less. The back half of the park is still gravel and dirt but accessible with no problems.
Date of Stay: August, 2006
First we made reservations for five sites for a family reunion and they were to all be together. When we arrived we were all separated all around the park. We were told they had cable but got three channels that were very static and they said that was normal. We were told they were Good Sam and had signs for Good Sam but on arrival we were told they were no longer Good Sam and gave no discount. They have been doing that for quite a while from what people in the area told us. Attitude of people working there was atrocious and they were very rude. Restrooms were not clean. I would not recommend them to anyone.
Date of Stay: July, 2006
Friendly, very close to Yellowstone National Park. Plenty of street parking for personal vehicles or tow trailers.

Scout.com five-star quarterback Jameis Winston, who committed to Florida State on Aug. 3, got off to a slow start against Thomasville in a preseason game on Friday by throwing three interceptions in the first half, but he came back with four rushing scores and another through the air as Hueytown pulled out a 36-27 victory.
"I turned the ball over," Winston explained, "and you can't do that. Especially being a good quarterback, you can't do that. All of my turnovers were on scrambling plays. I underthrew a couple of them and it was a bad night overall, but my team put me on their backs and they carried me over the adversity and everything."
Hueytown plays in Alabama 5A, while Thomasville is the defending 4A state champions. Getting the victory, Winston says, is the only positive he can take from his performance on Friday.
"That's that only thing that I did good, was that I got the win," he said. "I didn't get down. My team put me on their back, and they carried on. I feel pretty good because we just beat the defending state champions."
Winston was playing against a talented defense, and his receivers were suffering a case of the drops throughout the night. He rushed for more than 100 yards, mostly on his own by making defenders miss.
Winston nearly had another pair of touchdown throws to Cameron Broadnax, a receiver who is being recruited to colleges after sitting out last year. He played as a sophomore at Homewood. Broadnax was called for pushing off on a would-be touchdown on a fade route. He also appeared to have two feet in bounds and possession after beating the defender for the ball in the corner, but he was ruled out of bounds.
"Let me tell you something about Cam," Winston said of his receiver. "Cam went a whole year, and he didn't even play. For him to just go out there and show himself and get a couple of catches, he might have been a little nervous, but he had just those two drops. He sat out a whole year just to play this year. It doesn't matter what kind of night he had. He can definitely play."
The star defender of the night was Hueytown's undersized defensive lineman, Chris Rabb, who is listed at 5-11 and 220 pounds. Thomasville's Tyler Hayes, an Alabama commitment, made several athletic plays, including a pair of sacks on Winston, but Rabb had six tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, a sack and a safety.
"Chris Rabb should be the No. 1 defensive player in the country. He's just a little undersized," Winston noted. "He definitely deserves to play big-time college football. He's just a little undersized."
Winston hasn't publicly commented much about his commitment to the Seminoles, as he chose them over Alabama.
Asked how things have changed for him, Winston responded: "It's not that different. I plan on focusing on high school football and getting a state championship."
Winston became the fourth FSU commitment for the class of 2012 from the state of Alabama, joining Chris Casher of Davidson (a recent transfer from Faith Academy), Alphonse Taylor from Davidson and Justin Shanks from Prattville.
"I communicate with them a little bit," Winston said of the fellow commitments from Alabama. "It didn't affect me, though."
Winston says the biggest factor in choosing Florida State was that "it's just a great school."
Winston is also a talented switch-hitter on the baseball diamond and definitely has the skills to play college baseball. Unfortunately for the 'Noles, he may be good enough to be a high pick in the Major League Baseball draft.
"It was just the baseball/football situation, and I felt comfortable," Winston added. "It's a big part because I love baseball as much as I love football."

text: Social Social Media For Foodies - 10 Groundbreaking Tools Written by Simply Zesty on 15 May 2011 Every single day when using social media you will come across at least 10 examples of people sharing what they are eating or drinking. To many it sums up the trivial nature of social media and it's not uncommon to here people saying "why would I care what somebody had for breakfast?". Well it seems like lots of people do care and I wanted to share some of the best apps, websites and services that can help you engage with other foodies as well as sharing the amazing food you are making or eating. As you can see the list is heavily influenced by mobile apps which makes sense when you think about the amount of time we spend out and about in cities with our mobiles in our pockets. The fact that the cameras, video players and 3G connections have all improved means that sharing that amazing dinner with your social network is now easier than ever. So here is you essential guide to social media for foodies...FoodspottingThis app has been around for a couple of years and has been sweeping across America but still not massive in Europe. The idea is simple in that you take photos using your mobile phone and upload them based on your physical location along with any reviews of the food that you might have. As a user you can then come along and browse a city based on food that is near you in a very visual way by scrolling through the photos. An incredible tool to help you find amazing food in cities you have never been to before and always sure to make you hungry when you open this app!Don't Eat AtYou have to be using Foursquare to log in with this app but it's one that could potentially save you from getting some nasty food. The idea is that if you check in to a restaurant using Foursquare that has been reported in the past for poor food hygiene the app will automatically send you a text warning you. It uses public information and the Foursquare API and is a super smart way of avoiding restaurants that look good on the outside but might not be the cleanest behind the scenes.Gordon Ramsay iPad AppIf you are lucky enough to have an iPad you can now have one of the world's best chefs in the kitchen helping you out. His app features video recipes, shopping lists, interactive guides and much more and is a fantastic visual aid to help you out in the kitchen. Set your iPad up in the kitchen on a stand and you can follow the recipes in real time and will be cooking up your own delicious Michelin Star meals within minutes.InstagramInstagram has been flying in recent months and one of the main reasons for that is the huge amount of food photos that people are sharing on there. Every single time you log in you are bound to see a steady stream of stunning photos that people have taken when they are out and about. You can search by tags on Instagram and delving in to any of the food tags will give you a huge amount of inspiration by just flicking through the 1000s of photos in there.Food GawkerThis is one of the most visually stunning sites that you are ever likely to see online. Food bloggers from around the world submit their photos with an editor choosing the best ones to display. The result is a constantly changing selection of stunning photos most of which have recipes once you click through. There are a few of these sites in the food space but this one gets the vote because it also has an iPhone app that replicates the experience on your mobile.Food BuzzThere are tens of thousands of food blogs around the web and Food Buzz essentially curates the best information. As they say..."We aggregate and curate 4.2 Million posts from 19292 food blogs to bring quality content into the spotlight." It's a great place to stop off and get some inspiration and recipes for the kitchen and you can also interact and follow brands as well if you want.Google Recipe SearchWith so many food bloggers, professional chefs, home cooks and other sharing their recipes online it can be hard to find the best content but Google recently stepped in with their new recipe search engine that helps you drill down in to the millions of recipes online in a much better way. Searching can now be carried out based on the amount of people, ingredients and other categories and it then searches the entire web for recipes.Noms.InYou are in a new city and you have no idea where to eat. Rather than turning to Yelp and Trip Advisor and wading through 1000s of reviews why not turn to Noms.in and get the advice of the professional curators. The site is still new and only has a limited amount of cities but the fact that the design is so clean and beautiful and that it is built around you spending 48 hours in a city makes it incredibly powerful.DishtipThis is an interesting search engine that uses semantic signals to help you search for particular dishes that you are after. So instead of looking for restaurants by cuisine you can actually search for things like "french toast" or "Chicken Curry" and it throws back results based on the city you are searching in with photos of the dishes and user votes. RouxbeSo many people want to learn how to cook properly but don't have the time or the money to do so. Rouxbe is a professional cookery school that allows you to learn from the comfort of your own home. They have a huge bank of professionally produced content, a team of chefs to answer your questions and interactive tests to make sure you are learning as you go along. For a small monthly fee you too could become professional chef in no time!

Featherstone, Kevin (1990) The 'party-state' in Greece and the fall of Papandreou. West European Politics, 13 (1). pp. 101-115. ISSN 1743-9655
Revelations of corruption and of maladministration have forced a re-examination of some of the basic characteristics of the Greek party-state and party system. The purpose of this article is to examine how the controversies - 'scandals' - arose, and to assess their consequences for political development in Greece in the light of the June 1989 national elections. The elections may prove critical for the evolution of the State and the party system.

Oct 11, 2013 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorThe junior league champs gave up just two touchdowns all season in compiling a 6-0 record.
The Cowboys clicked from the start on Thursday night to claim the Riverton Junior Football League title in a convincing 32-0 win over the Packers.
The championship game was played at the RJFL football field. The league is for fifth- and sixth-graders.
The Cowboys completed the season for a perfect 6-0 mark. The Packers ended the year at 3-3.
"I thought that we played really well with intensity and with a lot of heart," Cowboys head coach Jason Campbell said.
The Cowboys only gave up 12 points on the year. The two touchdowns scored were on kickoff returns to Lander Black and Lander Green.
In the regular season, the Cowboys rolled over the 49ers (39-0), Packers (25-0), Lander Green (51-6), Lander Black (25-6) and the Bears (33-0).
The games in the league based on 15 plays per quarter.
"I'm happy seeing kids progress through the year," Campbell said. "Even after the game last night, they were still asking questions about different scenarios on how to block things and what to do in certain situations. You look for improvement throughout the year in everything."
The Bears edged the 49ers 20-19 on Wednesday night in the third-place game.
Members of the Cowboys were Trystan Gorley, Ridge Briggs, Dillon Lange, Brock Hinkle, Konner Gaston, Kaden Kellner, Sheridan Powell, Logan Fabrizius, Kaden Gantenbien, Cade Campbell, Tyler Emerson, Chayse Wilson, Cole Barrett, Eli Gard, Keyano Fasthorse, Braeden Lucas and Andrew Oldman.
"We had some of our better players step up that started out a little slow," Campbell said. "It was a total team effort."
Campbell was assisted by Jason Claussen and Jim Hinkle.
Danny Watson is the head coach for the Packers.
Cowboys 32, Packers 0
The best drive for the Packers in the title game turned out to be the first one.
The Packers took the opening kickoff all the way down to the Cowboys 10-yard line.
The Cowboys stopped the Packers short of the end zone.
"It was extremely crucial that we kept them out of the end zone," Campbell said. "If they would have completed that pass on fourth down it would have been a momentum changer. That could have changed the game."
On the first offensive play from scrimmage for the Cowboys saw Lange blast through the hole for a 50-yard touchdown run.
"We were able to run the ball all year," Campbell said. "It was attributed to backs that run hard and our kids up front know how to get it done."
In the second quarter, Lange added his second touchdown of the game for a 13-0 lead.
The Cowboys took a 19-0 advantage in halftime when quarterback Briggs found the end zone on a 15-yard run.
The Cowboys added two more touchdowns in the third quarter to put the game out of reach.
Early in the third quarter, Briggs hit Fabrizius for a 20-yard pass.
"We weren't a big passing team," Campbell said. "We did get better. Logan has great hands."
Tyler Emerson ended the scoring for the Cowboys late in the third quarter.
Kellner was the center for the Cowboys.
Cade Campbell was the right guard. Gorley played in the right tackle position.
Hinkle was the left guard and Lucas took care of the left tackle spot. Fabrizius started at the tight end.
"They worked well together," Campbell said. "They knew their hole assignments and blocking assignments. "
Festival next
The four Riverton teams will now combine to make one team made up of sixth-graders for the 14th annual Fremont Football Festival.
The festival is Saturday, Oct. 19. The Riverton team will practice four times before playing. The games will be played at the RJFL field.
The football event has teams coming from Lander, Star Valley, Jackson, Cody, Powell and Douglas.
Each team gets two games in one day.

The influence of chiropractic care in the Olympics has been felt worldwide for more than 35 years. First was the 1976 Olympic Games in Mexico City when LeRoy Perry, D.C., cared for athletes on the Aruba team. Many U.S. competitors were in need of the care Perry offered and would secretly visit him for adjustments. His patients were so impressed with his work that before the 1980 Winter Olympics in Montreal, the U.S. Olympic team signed a petition asking that chiropractic care be incorporated as part of the sports medicine team. And their wish came true—for the Olympic Games in Montreal, George Goodheart, D.C., was appointed as the first official chiropractor to the U.S. team. Since then, world-class athletes have been regularly incorporating chiropractic care in to their training regimens. But it wasn't until the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, that chiropractic care was fully integrated in Olympic athletes' care.
From now on, chiropractic care will be offered at every U.S. Olympic event. Chiropractic has been dubbed a secret weapon for U.S. competitors—not only does it help optimize performance for athletes and allow them to achieve their goals, but it is also used for rehabilitation purposes. In addition, the athletes feel the adjusting gives them an edge against their competitors without the use of drugs or medications.
Denielle Ciletti is one athlete who understands this concept. Ciletti, who is a student at Life University and has been leading an active, healthy lifestyle for more than 25 years, knows firsthand the benefits Chiropractic has for athletes. She was a college volleyball player and now plays recreational kayak polo. Because she has been participating in sports for more than two decades, Ciletti found it necessary to receive chiropractic care and has been visiting a handful of DCs since 1990.
"I honestly wouldn't be able to do what I'm doing right now if it wasn't for chiropractic care," says Ciletti. "I'm 38 years old and, to say that I'm going to train at an Olympic level, I wouldn't be able to do it." While kayak polo is not an Olympic sport, Ciletti hopes that her diligent training and regular trips to the chiropractor will help her make the U.S. National Canoe and Kayak team and later qualify for the Olympics. She hopes to compete as a member of the Kayak Sprint Team in the 2016 Olympics.
Ciletti says she wants to compete in the Olympics to honor her word to herself. "Since I came here to LIFE, it's been a transformation at process and I've been restoring integrity in all parts of my life," says Ciletti. "I have told my mom for years that I'm going to be an Olympic athlete one day—if I was honoring my word to myself, I would have been training for this a long time ago. There's nothing standing in my way now, and I'm just going to do it."
To help prepare for the competition, Ciletti follows a strict training schedule which includes a combination of paddling—both distance and sprint—, polo ball passing and catching as well as stretching. Stephen Gale, the newly-hired coach for the U.S. National Canoe and Kayak team, sends his trainees this rigorous polo training schedule each week. Aside from polo training, Ciletti also hits the gym for an extra workout. "Dr. Catherine Faust, the department head for Sports Health Science at LIFE, will do my aerobics threshold testing so we can determine a sports-specific training in the gym," says Ciletti. Kayak, Polo training, gym workouts and regular visits to Keith Rau, D.C., complete Ciletti's Olympic preparation.
Even though Ciletti leads an active life—in addition to her training and course loads, she is a single mother of two young sons—she finds the time to visit a chiropractor on a regular basis. She explains that one of her chiropractors noticed a simple irregularity with her posture and, once he adjusted her, it made a huge difference with her chest and shoulders. On another occasion, Ciletti visited her chiropractor complaining of knee pain. He adjusted her tailbone, and almost immediately all of her knee pain was relieved. Both adjustments greatly helped her performance in kayak polo. Ultimately, Chiropractic allows her to fully take advantage of her body.
"I've been an athlete all my life—I was a lifeguard for 12 years, swimming in the ocean and running on the beach. The toll it takes on your body…If it wasn't for chiropractic care, I wouldn't be able to do it all. It keeps me more healthy all-around—in body, mind and soul," says Ciletti. She said that aside from the physical benefits, one of the most unique, and perhaps the greatest, aspect of chiropractic care is the infrequency with which she contracts the common cold or flu. For both reasons combined, Ciletti says, "I will always incorporate Chiropractic in my life."
Perhaps Rau is to credit for Ciletti's appreciation of Chiropractic. Rau, who also studied at Life University, is one of Ciletti's chiropractors and works with her on a regular basis. But when he is not adjusting clients at his part-time chiropractic practice in Marietta, Ga., the other half of his time is spent teaching courses in chiropractic sports health science at LIFE, which he has been doing for over 17 years. Aside from his teaching responsibilities, he also works as a team chiropractor for the NCAA Division I teams at Kennesaw State University.
A large part of Rau's professional career has been spent helping take care of athletes at all levels—Olympic, professional, collegiate and recreational. "We took care of the Georgia Force [Atlanta's arena football team], and their athletic trainer said to me, 'If it isn't ripped, torn or broken, you're our guys.' I'm not a big one on trying to do other people's jobs—doing a lot of rehab, taping, etc.—and we seem to really help with function and mobility, and athletes often say, 'I feel so loose, I feel so relaxed, I'm just ready to go!'"
In the past, Rau worked with several athletes who have trained for the Olympic Games, and now he is assisting with Ciletti's chiropractic care as she trains for the 2016 Olympic Games. Specifically, he sees her nearly every week for routine adjustments.
In working with athletes, Rau believes it is beneficial to be educated in the sport in which the athlete will be competing. "Track and cross country—these are areas I have the most experience and familiarity with," says Rau. "Someone jumping versus someone running distance or sprinting will have different issues. It's really helpful to know what they're doing because the care varies, and the more you know about the sport, the more you see patterns and trends in injuries." In Rau's care for of patients, he focuses on adjusting rather than laser treatment, which many other DCs offer. "If the nervous system is the master control system of the body—controlling your joints and muscles—we get to impact the body's ability to function properly," says Rau. "If there's a breakdown in that communication [within the body], there's a real problem. Whether that [breakdown] is the result or cause—or both—of the injury, then [restoring that communication is] where we have so much to offer for the athlete."
In getting feedback from his patients who have had success incorporating chiropractic care into their health regimens, Rau strongly values what Chiropractic offers athletes. "I've taken care of a few runners in Olympic training and, when they train more consistently, they are more likely to avoid injuries. The thing that I think is so exciting is that the athletes see the benefit—higher level athletes more than anyone—that their bodies are able to perform better and stay injury free and recover faster. I can't imagine an athlete competing without chiropractic care," says Rau. "Why wouldn't you use it if it is part of the package?"
What we have seen—and will continue to see in the future—are the continuing benefits of Chiropractic in high level athletics. More and more athletes are crediting Chiropractic for their accomplishments, and it is becoming commonly used by competitors around the world. It gives them the comfort of feeling better and the confidence they need to achieve their best.

"Thanks for such an awesome app, accidentally left my phone in pocket whilst skydiving, a highly educated guess is that it fell out of pocket at 1000 feet and somehow survived (muddy field after heave rain!) but could have landed anywhere your app made it very easy to find. Loosing my data would have been very inconvenient. Thank you so much"

|W.r.t. buying "cheap crap"...if the cheap crap dies, say, in half the time the expensive crap dies but costs one third the price, isn't it cost effective to buy cheap crap? You even get NEW cheap crap half-way through the life of the expensive crap!
[at this moment I am attempting to fix an expensive crap Thermador stove - simmer burner problem that appears to be pandemic - so have little sympathy for expensive crap]

My sarcasm obviously did not shine through.Politics be damned, there are some trends to the characteristics of many violent felons that are hard to ignore. When felon after felon gets nabbed, and when we see crime on the streets ourselves, in which stereotypical body language, demeanor, clothing, tats, group behavior, use of "gang" signs/motions, or whatever other characteristic is commonly present ... well then, it's hard to ignore the thought that this next person we see who exhibits many (most, all) of such traits might well also be of similar disposition. "Might" being the operative word.
I suppose felons could break many of the stereotypes by simply heading to Macy's and picking up a few cardigans and decent slacks. But then many would have to nix the meth-head look, the wild look in the eyes, the rings/spikes through new orifices, the ankle-draggin' clothing, the "walk" and the "talk" (demeanor that can be strongly suggestive of where their influences have come from).
Nothing's for certain, in this life. But, as individuals, ignoring potential indicators can be one of the most foolish things we do. No other animal does that. Ignoring a heavy grouping of potential indicators in a single person or group of people can be one of the last things we do. It is what it is.

Irish Coffee: Boston Charity Classic leftovers (mmm … leftovers)
|11.22.11 at 2:34 pm ET
How fleeting Rajon Rondo's Boston Charity Classic was, providing Celtics fans a glimpse of the past, present and future for just one Saturday night before the cold reality of the NBA lockout endures into the winter. All that remains is this highlight package I put together and a few interesting quotes from the postgame interviews. It is the week of Thanksgiving after all, so here are some leftovers from what was a fun evening on the Harvard campus.
On decertifications: "A lot of players looked to me for leadership when they talk about negotiations, when they talk about options, when they talk about decertification. A lot of guys ask me, and what I did with that was just kind of give them the information. At the end of the day, as a whole, players gotta make a vote — make a choice whether to negotiate, decertify or file an antitrust lawsuit."
On negotiations: "Right now, I want to get a deal. I want to play. I don't have too many more years left. But we want the right deal. I think that's the most important thing."
On ultimatums: "We don't feel like it's a fair deal. If we did, we would have signed it, obviously. Maybe some players do, some players don't, but as a majority we didn't feel that was the right deal for us. … If I had a vote, would I make the deal now? You know what? I don't think the deal that's on the table is a deal that I would take."
On meetings: "I wasn't at the last couple meetings, so it kind of took me by surprise that last day when they broke up the union. So, a lot of that really took me by surprise, but I don't think it was mentioned to bring it to the whole body, the whole union for a vote. The player representatives get a vote, and we're at where we're at."
On veterans: "A lot of the older guys are kind of different players in this, because it's for the older guys to say, 'Take the deal, we already have contracts, we're on our last two or three years and finish out.' But it's something bigger than everybody's individual legacy. It's about the future of the league, and that's what we talked about when we get together. Me, Ray [Allen], Kobe [Bryant], guys who are veterans in the league — we feel like that's the most important thing moving forward with the NBA."
On lockouts: I remember when I came out as a rookie, I didn't lose anything, because I didn't have anything. So, it was like just sit down, work and wait to get ready. The guys who are on their rookie contracts who have been in a year or two, they're more in a different position. They're probably buying homes from their brothers, their mothers, thinking they're going to be on their rookie deal. They're in a tighter situation, so I can understand why they want to sign the deal, but it's a fine line.
"You have players who want to sign, you have players who know what's at stake — that have been through the ins and outs of the last two collective bargaining agreements — and that's the reason we're standing where we're at."
On overseas: "I've been thinking about it, truthfully. I love the game of basketball. It's a shame I'm sitting at home not playing, so it's definitely crossed my mind. Maybe I'll think about it around mid-December if I can see that there is no future of the league starting this year, then that's definitely a strong possibility."
On lawsuits: "I think both sides want to play, because both sides are equally losing. I mean, regardless of the owners waiting out the players or who's got deeper pockets and all that stuff, I still believe they want to be out on the court, the players want to be out on the court. For them, they feel it's about the right situation, and so do we, so we're at a stalemate. … I really don't want it to go to court, but that's a real possibility now. Hopefully within the next month we can get back to the table and strike a deal.
On Celtics: "We're not getting any younger. KG [Kevin Garnett] and Ray are on the last years of their deals, so we don't really know the future as far as after the year, especially with those two guys. We have [Rajon] Rondo locked in for a couple more years after that, but who knows what direction the team is going to go in after that, so that's a huge concern."
On [Big] babies: "I think a lot of my teammates understand what's going on. Maybe the one player that didn't understand was Big Baby [Glen Davis], but I had a chance to talk to him last week. He was out in California. Everybody understands what's at stake and what's going on."
On fans: "We love the fans. When Rondo called me and asked me to do this, it was like an instant yes. It was like, 'Yeah, of course I'm going to come out for the fans who support us, especially in Boston. I walked around the streets today, and I get people asking, 'When is the season going to start?' There's been no negativity. The fans are hungry for basketball. They're still excited, and hopefully we can get back on the court soon."
On exhibitions: "I feel like you're going to see a barrage of pickup games if the season is canceled. You've already seen a plethora of them. You've got two more tomorrow — one in Houston, one in San Francisco — but my older legs I like to preserve them a little bit more just in case there is a season. If there's a 50- or 60-game season, advantage Celtics. I think the last four years we've probably been the best team in the first three months of the season."
On meetings: "I went to the last meeting that we had in New York, and we had a pretty good meeting. A lot of guys showed up from different teams to support, show camaraderie by coming together and make a decision. Me, personally, I didn't think it was a fair deal."
On negotiations: "Everybody is itching to play basketball. Everybody wants to play basketball on both sides. The owners want to see us playing, and the guys want to be out there playing as well. Hopefully we can come together for some type of agreement before it's too late."
On rumors: "Unless you're actually in the meeting, you hear different things once that meeting is adjourned. The people that are in the meetings on both sides know what's going on. It just a matter of just compromising.
On fans: "The fans were great. I can't thank them enough. They're the reason we're able together to help the charities. There's three organizations once we tally up the money that we plan on donating to. This is a great time of giving. That's what it's all about."
On charities: "I'm thinking about doing some other things. I'm just trying to help people right now. I'm Ok as far as my family financially, so I'm just trying to give back to the community — not just in Boston but back home in Kentucky as well."
On overseas: You never know. I'm still here being a family man and just trying to do the right thing and staying in shape. I probably won't make that decision until January. Me and Perk [Kendrick Perkins] have talked about doing package deals, but right now we're just enjoying our time. For me, it's a gift and a curse. I'm trying to get as healthy as possible with all my injuries. But I'm ready to play."
On Celtics: "I know you think guys are old, but I see them daily. I know they're working, and they're three of the hardest workers on the team. They're always in the best shape. Obviously, it takes a wear and tear on your body with the age, but they're in the weight room, they're in the gym, getting extra cardio in. I'm not worried about those guys. It's just the guys we bring in. We only have, what, five or six guys on contracts."
On coaches: "I called Deion [Branch] like four days ago. He pulled it out of nowhere. I looked at their schedule and saw that they play on Monday, and they played last Sunday, so I had a feeling they would be off. He came through. He played at Louisville, so I've known Deion. I got upset one time at him. Other than that, he did a pretty good job. He called some key timeouts for us to get the win."
On recoveries: "It's a blessing to see Marquis [Daniels] back out on the floor. A lot of people didn't expect him to play anymore. A lot of prayers were said for him. He's back out there healthy, running up and down."
On homecomings: "I never knew how much I missed being here until I got back in here, but I definitely miss the whole city of Boston, the whole area of New England. It just felt good to be back playing basketball in Boston, so it definitely was a good feeling and a whole lot of fun today.
"It's always overwhelming. You try to catch yourself from dropping a tear or something like that, but like I always say, the city has been good to me since I came into the NBA as a young man at 18, so I never take it for granted. I definitely appreciate all the support when I come back to the New England area. I hated to leave — to go back to the point — but God does everything for a reason. Boston and all of the New England area is still in my heart, so it was fun to be back. …
"I was kind of nervous at first, just stepping back out there, but it's not going to be my last time coming to Boston. I was just happy I was able to play in front of the fans and be able to see some old faces, so it's cool."
On workouts: "I've been rehabbing a lot, trying to take a lot of pressure off my knees and just going from there. I've just been working hard. I thought the season was going to start, but it hasn't yet, so I'm going to continue to work and whenever the season starts try to go from there. I was just happy about playing basketball. Rajon called me and said he was calling a game, I told him I'd be the first to be here. It's good to be back here. It's just love."
On meetings: "The crazy thing about it is that I never made one meeting. I figure it's really not in my control. Whenever we come to an agreement, I feel like we're going to come to an agreement that's fair for both sides. I haven't been worrying to much about it. I have been worrying about it, because it's my livelihood and I do want to play basketball, but as far as going to the meetings and doing all the talking and negotiating, not really. I've just been working out and staying in shape."
On negotiations: "Every guy feels different, in my eyes. I feel like some guys may want to take the deal, some guys say they don't want to take the deal, or whatever it may be, but I think the biggest thing for the players is that we've got to stick together and stay on the same page, because we know the owners are going to do the same.
"I just think right now if everybody put their pride aside we can get a deal done. I think both sides are being really prideful. I think if both sides dropped their pride and came in with an open mind and an open heart, we can get a deal done.
"It's hard to say, just for the simple fact that you never know. You never know until it's put in front of your face what you'll sign and what you'll agree to. Sooner or later, we're going to have to get something done. It's not fair to the fans, it's not fair to people who love the game of basketball. It's not fair to the players. It's not fair to the owners. I think we need to just hurry up, get something done for both sides and roll from there."
On unions: "I think guys are sticking together. It's something that we're going to have to do for it to be fair for both sides. If you notice, the players aren't the ones that are asking for everything. We're always made to look like we're the bad guys, but sooner or later both guys have to put their pride aside and go into the meeting with an open mind and an open heart to get something done. Otherwise, there's no reason to keep meeting if your'e going to come in with the same attitude."
On lockouts: "I know where my heart is. I'm just ready to play the game of basketball. It's not a financial situation or nothing to that nature, but it's time to play basketball. It's cold outside, it's the month of November, and you're used to getting the season cranked off. I'm ready to play, but at the same time I gotta understand that business is business. It wasn't no different from me being traded than for us negotiating for what's fair for both sides. I'm just sitting back, patiently waiting and just doing what I gotta do and not worrying about what I can't control."
On trades: "Yeah, I'm hurt, surprised. I think it really still hasn't hit me yet. I think everything happened so fast last year, from me coming back from my ACL injury to straining my MCL to getting traded the next day, going to a young Oklahoma City team that I have to be a leader and stuff like that. It still hurts that I did get traded, but then again at the same time the City of Oklahoma has been great to me, too. They've embraced me with open arms, and I have no complaints about the city, the whole organization — from Kevin [Durant] on down to Sam Presti to Troy Weaver — they all welcomed me with open arms. Yes, I do miss Boston, but Oklahoma is a great place."
On injuries: "I'm not dealing with the knee right now, but last year during the playoffs I was. I was out there, so I was trying to give what I give. I always say if you're out there, you're out there for a reason, so you've gotta do what you gotta do."

Zoo welcomes new primates
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Three ring-tailed lemurs were recently born at the Tautphaus Park Zoo.
The first was born March 27, and twins were born April 25.
"We knew both the females were pregnant, but the twins were a bit of a surprise," said Zoo Superintendent Beth Rich. "Ring-tailed lemurs usually give birth to a single infant, but twin births are not uncommon. Both mothers are doing an excellent job caring for their babies."
Rich said it's too early to tell the gender of the baby lemurs.
Also new in the zoo's Primate Discovery Center is a female Goeldi's monkey. She arrived from a zoo in Kansas, the city said Friday. Officials hope she will breed with one of the two males at the zoo.

Physicists create 'tractor beam' in water
With simple wave generators, researchers can now create a "tractor beam" in water to draw in floating objects, an Australian team reports this week in Nature Physics. The researchers plunged various shapes in water and recorded the resulting flow patterns with a high-speed video camera. Based on the observations, they worked out the size and frequency of waves required to move a floating pingpong ball around a water tank at will. No mathematical theory can explain the experiments as yet, but the researchers believe their technique can be used to confine oil spills and manipulate small boats.

Rich Mountain Community College began in 1973 as Rich Mountain Vocational-Technical School serving Polk, Scott, and Montgomery counties under the Arkansas Department of Vocational Education. Additionally, Henderson State University offered the first two years of general education courses toward a Bachelor's degree at various sites in Polk County. The Polk County Committee for Higher Education, under the direction of Rachel Goforth as chair, worked to establish the college in Mena to combine these services.
Act 16 of 1983, authored by State Representative Ode Maddox, established the community college system in Arkansas. In April of that year, the voters of Polk County approved a 5-mill tax to establish the Polk County community college district. With Dr. Mary Louise Spencer as president, Rich Mountain Community College opened July 1, 1983 with an enrollment of 290 students. The college immediately applied for candidacy for accreditation with the North Central Association. After the required number of compliance years, Rich Mountain Community College received full accreditation in 1990 during the tenure of Mr. Bill Abernathy who became president in 1987.
By 1993, ten years into its successful history, RMCC's enrollment had increased to 766 students and the faculty had grown from its original 11 full-time faculty to 16 full-time faculty. Programs and offerings changed to include computer programming and course offerings in the math and science fields increased substantially. Federal programs to ensure student success were added through grant applications.
In fall 2001, RMCC reached the 1,000 student mark. Shortly after the arrival of President Dr. Janet Smith, the North Central Association designated Rich Mountain as a "model community college," at the completion of their site visit. Progress continued with the addition of an aviation maintenance program in partnership with the City of Mena. An entire building was added to accommodate advances in Machine Tool technologies. Grant funds allowed for renovations to the RMCC historic National Guard Armory. A campus walking trail and outdoor amphitheater were also completed during this time.
By 2008, the RMCC strategic plan included significant needed renovations to several college buildings. In 2009, during the tenure of President Dr. Wayne Hatcher, the time-line for progress drastically changed when a tornado destroyed parts of the campus, causing over three million dollars in damage. Every building was impacted. Classes and services were never interrupted. Student services were moved into the Tower Room creating a one-stop admissions center upon completion of needed renovations.
Since its inception, through 2012, RMCC has graduated 2, 235 students in various fields of endeavor. At this time, under the direction of President Dr. Phillip Wilson, plans are to build on the past. Programs now include cosmetology, advanced nursing, and online delivery of entire degrees. Delivery methods now include traditional site classes, compressed interactive video, and online courses. RMCC has grown from one original building to a multiple site learning institution with locations in all three counties of its service area. Multiple progressive renovations to campus buildings have taken place over the years. Adding to the College's footprint is a new Learning Commons created within the library and an expanded Student Union with food service. The most recent building additions are a facility for Culinary Arts and the Ouachita Center. The Ouachita Center allows a space for cultural offerings on campus, such as performances by the new Theatre Guild.
Over its thirty year history, RMCC has been at the forefront of progress for the Polk, Scott, and Montgomery county service area. Its mission to provide educational opportunities for the residents of the Ouachita Mountain region continues to be the guide for programming, service, and involvement in the community.
