What Are Homophones?
Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings (ate and eight, for example).
Here is a list of the homophone-related resources you will find on this page:
The Homophone Machine
Type in any word, sentence, or paragraph and click the Convert button to see the homophones. If you need a suggestion, start with "I would like to show you my new horse." You'll probably get a good chuckle at the results of this Homophone Machine!
Tips for Teaching Homophones
Students often find homophones interesting and it can be fun teaching them! You may like to teach them as they come up in everyday spelling and reading, or you may prefer to teach them directly. The All About Homophones workbook provides 101 interesting worksheets covering sets of words taught in grades 1 through 8.
Here are some other ideas for teaching homophones:
- When a spelling word has a homophone, point it out to your student and have him add it to his own personal list.
- Take turns making up sentences that contain pairs of homophones—the sillier, the better. "The toad towed the car." "Wait here while I check the elephant's weight."
- Concentrate on the most important pairs first. The ones needed most often in writing include ad/add, ant/aunt, ate/eight, be/bee, blew/blue, buy/by/bye, hear/here, hour/our, its/it's, know/no, one/won, their/there/they're, theirs/there's, to/too/two, who's/whose, and your/you're.
- Point out a pair of homophones, such as rose/rows, and ask a question such as "Which word means a flower?"
- Find two pictures that represent the homophones. Ask the student to match a picture with the WRONG word, instead of the right word. After the student has correctly matched each picture with the wrong word, ask him to match it with the correct one. Pictures add fun to the whole activity.
Short, interesting sessions teach more than long, boring ones, so make them memorable!
List of Homophones
Here are more homophone pairs than you can shake a stick at – just ask this pear of bares!
It's quite likely that you will find some pairs on this list that are not homophones in your region. For example, boy and bouy are pronounced differently in some dialects, while they are pronounced the same in others.
In order to make this list as useful as possible, words that are archaic, slang, naughty, or extremely uncommon have not been included.
What's the Difference Between Homonyms, Homophones, and Homographs?
If you are confused about the differences between homonyms, homophones, and homographs, you're in the right place to get it straightened out!
This is the big category—the umbrella—under which we find homophones and homographs.
Homophones are words that sound alike, but have different meanings and spellings. They are the sets of words that you probably learned in elementary school, though your teacher may have used the broader category of homonyms.
Examples of common homophones include:
- their and there
- deer and dear
- hear and here
- to, too, and two
Regional accents may affect whether words are homophones. For example, in certain parts of the country, weather and whether sound the same. For those of us in the U.S., due and do are pronounced alike, but in most British accents, they sound different.
Homographs are words that are spelled the same, but have different meanings and may have different pronunciations.
Examples of common homographs include:
- does and does
He does like to run.
Does are female deer.
(Same spelling, different pronunciation.)
- wind and wind
I can feel the wind in my hair.
Wind up the string before it gets tangled.
(Same spelling, different pronunciation.)
- well and well
Sam doesn't feel well today.
Our neighbors are digging a new well.
(Same spelling, same pronunciation.)
One way to remember the difference between the terms homophone and homograph is by looking at the derivation of the words:
HOMO ("same") + PHONE ("sound")
HOMO ("same") + GRAPH ("writing")

CustomStrokes Class
Contains a collection of user-defined Strokes collections.
Assembly: Microsoft.Ink (in Microsoft.Ink.dll)
The custom strokes are essentially named Strokes collections that are persisted and recalled for later use.
You use a collection of custom strokes to store strokes that have the same meaning or that are related in some way. Examples of strokes that you may want to persist include:
All the strokes drawn by the same cursor (pen)
The strokes in an Ink object that correspond to a word or paragraph
All the strokes that intersect a known region
For example, suppose you want to draw with two different cursors and keep separate the set of strokes that you draw with each cursor. You could recognize the strokes drawn with the first cursor and attach a RecognitionResult object to that collection of strokes. To persist the recognition result, add the strokes to the CustomStrokes collection of the Ink object. You can later access the first collection of strokes by getting the persisted CustomStrokes collection from the Ink object.
Each CustomStrokes collection is referenced by name.
CustomStrokes collections are references to ink data, not the actual data itself.

Dumb Blondes, Angry Teachers and Cute Guys.Mature
Their eyes followed me as i walked down the hallway to my registration class. At reception they had given me a map of the school (which is pointless because i'm rubbish at maps) and also a timetable of my classes. Today I had Maths, Graphics, Geography and Music. Quite a good first day. Most people despise Maths but i'm cool with it.
I get to registration and the teacher introduces me and sits me next to a guy sitting alone. She asks him to take me to my next class because weirdly enough we have all the same classes. He smiles shyly and says "sure". He introduces himself as Pete. I'm pleased that he seems friendly enough, I always worry no-one will like me.
Remember when i said there were only two people i truley cared about, well one is my mother, the other is my best mate Bryan. Bryan is one of those guys that isn't only interested in being "overly friendly" with girls. He doesn't just see them as something to drool over then dump, he see's them as people. That's one of the reasons we get on so great. There has never been any romantic involvement with our friendship, never will be. Even if we had any feelings for each other we wouldn't dare act on it because it would ruin our friendship. Bryan is 5ft9, has dirty blonde hair and quite sturdy figure. He's strong (he can lift me over his shoulders) and a lot of girls seem to find him attractive, although I can't see it myself. But he means the world to me and I would be lost without him. I worry about how I'm going to cope without him, considering I now live about two hours away from him and neither of us are old enough to drive, but we'll figure something out.
So we get to Maths just before the second bell rang and Pete introduces me to the maths teacher then sits down at his seat. I smile thanks at him then turn to face my new maths teacher...from hell.
"My name is Mrs Watt, you will do as you're told, you will NOT interrupt me and you will get on with your work. You have joined us in the middle of a term and you have much to catch up on. I will be giving you extra homework assignments and expect them done to a specific deadline. Clear?" she barked at me.
"Erm...Mrs Watt? I did do maths at my other school y'know and I'm not stupid. I know I'll have to catch up but I did the same course at my other school..." I stumbled, afraid to cause a scene.
"Be QUIET! Sit next to Angela and get on with page 56 of this workbook" She thrusts a green workbook at me and points at and empty seat next to a blonde girl who looks like a complete bimbo, you could see her roots though so itwas clear she just wished she was.
"Jeez man chill..." I mutter under my breath and i saunter over to the seat and slide my schoolbag underneath the desk. I could tell this was one teacher I wasn't going to get on with.
Then was break. Pete kindly said I could come with him as I clearly had no-one else. I was very grateful and tryed to be as inconspicuous as possible. However his friends thought different.
"Woah man, who'd you pick up this time? She's not from around here!" one of his mates exclaimed whilst I blushed and shuffled my feet on the ground.
"Aww shut up Tom, leave her alone" Pete punched Tom playfully and turned to face me.
"Sarah, this is Tom," He points to a rather tall guy with black hair and a nice body. He's quite goodlooking but obviously knows it, and he was wearing black trackies and a red shirt but he had a black jumper over the top. "And this is Matt," He now points at a slightly shorter brunette walking our way. He was wearing skate jeans, a red baggy shirt, black tie tied loose around his neck. On his feet were red and black checkered Vans. He was incredibly cute...hmm....i might enjoy this school more than I thought I would. We all chatted for a while, the guys seemedreally interested in me and why I moved schools at such a wierd time. I didn't give them a proper answer. During the break a few more guys joined us and i got introduced to them one by one. They all seemed pretty decent and friendly enough.
After break, Pete walked me to Graphics where he said we were working on drawing and designing a CD case. It didn't sound that interesting but I didn't comment, my passion was architechture and if I wanted to become an architecht then i needed a Graphics qualification.
I got the same catch-up lecture from Mr Geddes but in a much nicer, jokey way. He had seen my folio from my other school and was confident I would work well with the projects the class were doing. He told me to work on Inventor, a computer program, for this lesson as the other pupils were just finishing their CD cases and he saw no point in me starting it. It was quite an enjoyable lesson and I was rather sad when the bell went.
Geography went smoothly, Mrs Dee the teacher sat me next to Pete when she realised he was the only one I knew and the class is really fun and interesting.
At lunch I went home dinners, I didn't want to make Pete uncomfortable by expecting to hang around with him all the time. When I got back to school Pete ran over and said the bell had already rung and we had better hurry.
Music was very interesting.Mr Bell was the only teacher to introduce me to the whole class, and I kept my head down the whole time not daring to look at any of my fellow pupils. However when he told me he was sorry but there was only one spare seat and it was next to "Mr Matt Robson who i'm afraid is rather quiet and not very sociable" my head snapped up. Matt, not sociable? He was talking fine before at break. Whatever. I shrugged the comment off and walked to the desk beside Matt. I smiled slightly then turned to face the board. Today we were doing theory which involved watching a few music videos; one of GreenDay's older stuff, one of the Buzzcocks and the other of Rancid. Apparently the new topic was Punk. Awsome...I like almost all music but punk is one of my favourites. I sat there singing along to all the words and drumming my fingers on the table. Matt shot me an amused look and passed me a note.
"Woah you know the words to these songs? Awsome, no-one else inthis school has a clue. All they listen to is Pop and Dance! You heard the new Green Day album? It's a bunch of crap isn't it? -Matt x"
I smiled and replyed:
"Yeah too right! They've changed so much i refuse to listen to anything but their old stuff :P Aww you're joking, I was kinda hoping this school would be different from my last...so far seems about the same. -Sazz x"
We spent the rest of the lesson commenting on the school clones and the music videos we were watching. After we had watched the videos we had to write about them and about the changes between old punk and new punk. All in all it was great, I love music.
"MUMMMMM I'm home!" I shriek as i walk in the front door.
"I'm in the kitchen Honey" she replys.
I walk into the kitchen to see my mum baking a cake for my little brothers birthday party this weekend. Mmmm...smells good. My mams chocolate chip cake is legendary.
She asks about my day and we talk for a while. I tell her how friendly Pete is and how great my classes are. We laugh over Mrs Watt and then I go upstairs and do my homework. It takes me about two hours! The teachers gave me sooo much catch up work it sucks.
I wonder whether to phone Bryan or not. It is just past 10pm and I don't want to wake his little sister who is bound to be sleeping by now. Just as i'm torn between phoning him and telling him about my day and how much I miss him, or texting him a simple "Hey doin great hows school?" My mobile phone starts buzzing on my bed. I reach over and grab it, knowing full well it's Bryan on the other end.
"AHHH BRYAN I MISS YOU SO MUCH!! Everyone here is like clones! Except for a few guys I've started to hang about with and the teachers! My maths teacher is so horrible seriously it sucks and i have sooo much catch-up work! Any chance you could come help me with it? Haha yeah I wish, damn i'm rambling. How was your day? Miss me?"
We talked for about half an hour then I started yawning and Bryan insisted I go to bed right away. I grumbled but gave in eventually, saying goodnight then hanging up. I pull on a baggy tee and some guys boxers, run downstairs to say goodnight to Mum and Dad, brush my teeth then climb into bed.
I stretch out smiling. Today was eventful, wonder what tomorrow will be like?
I fall asleep with my head full of thoughts of Matt...

Didn't have fresh basil so I used a dried Italian herb mix (something Penzey's mailed me for free that I hadn't had a chance to use :-) ), used a slice of gluten-free cornbread that was heading towards stale (the recipe was from the Bob's Red Mill bag), and some cherry tomatoes that were just past prime. It was a great way to use up stuff that otherwise might have gone to waste. Perfect bright spot in on a foggy CA evening.

It was a good weekend if you could find someone to drive you into town (Santa Fe) to do something. I went back a few years ago and didn't recognize the town. Espanola has definitely grown up.

Jack- Thanks! Hope she enjoyed it.

Alison- To be honest- corn flakes are not the same as crumbs made from a homemade cornbread. To me, cornflakes taste like... breakfast cereal.

I'd like to encourage you to try it with real cornbread crumbs- so tender, flavorful and tasty.

I think that next time I'll put the crumbs on top becaue I'd like them a bit more crunchy and crumbly, and it will cut down on prep time not to have to arrange the tomatoes cut side up, then cut side down.

Joseph Jerome Lambert (May 29, 1971 – August 11, 2007)[1] was an American expatriate basketball player who is best known for leading NCAA Division I in rebounding in 1993–94 while playing for Baylor.[2] A 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m), 215 pound power forward, Lambert accomplished the feat as a junior in his first season of Division I basketball. He had previously played for Westark Community College before enrolling at Baylor.
During Lambert's recruitment to Baylor, then-assistant coach Gary Thomas had committed a major recruiting violation to acquire him.[3] Thomas had faxed a term paper to Westark assistant basketball coach Troy Drummond on April 5, 1993, which was a slight re-write of an article that had previously appeared in a women's magazine.[3] Lambert then handed the faxed paper in to an English class to pass it off as his own.[3] He ultimately chose to play at Baylor, with Drummond "coincidentally" becoming a new assistant coach at that school, and news of this violation did not come out until after the 1993–94 season, the season in which Lambert's 14.8 rebounds per game led the NCAA.[2][3] He also garnered many accolades that season, including First Team All-Southwest Conference (SWC), SWC Newcomer of the Year, SWC All-Newcomer Team, one-time SWC Player of the Week and a three-time SWC Newcomer of the Week.[4]
Due to the scandal, Lambert transferred to Oklahoma State, but because of NCAA transfer rules he had to sit out one full year before becoming eligible to play his final season.[5] In his lone season with the Cowboys, he averaged 13.0 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.[6] He then went on to play professionally in Israel before coming home to work for Danfoss and serve as a firefighter.[1]
Lambert died at age 36 in Nevada County, Arkansas.[1] He and his wife, Tracey L. Green, were both shot to death as a result of a verbal altercation between Lambert and another man.[7] They had one son and one daughter together.[1]

Number 8 for this year is going into the books (goal of 100). I had to take one off yesterday because my legs were sore from the off-roader weekend action.
My first commute this year was at -11 F early in the morning. That was rather unpleasant so I had to back off for a bit. Seasonal temps today (high about 45) with nice strong sunshine and a bit of wind. I'll take that though. Going home in the dark will be cooler... but I've got the gear for that too.

Blood Sinks SlowlyMature
Sam's never felt right in his skin.
(TW for Self Harm. Marked as a collaborative work because it started out as an anonymous writing work, but I don't know who the other author was to give them credit!)
It had been a while since he had allowed himself the sweet relief of a cool blade against his skin, drawing thin, intricate lines, cursed blood welling up and seeping out like crimson tears, flowing from his arm into the dingy water, swirling down the grimy drain of a sink or shower in a bathroom of another 'No-Tell Motel'. He had tried so, so hard to stop after Dean had returned from Hell, but eventually the siren-song of pain and release, the need to rid himself of the tainted liquid in his veins, the anger and fear and loathing and weariness bleeding out of him with his blood. It wasn't much, though. A few cuts here and there, discreetly bandaged and passed off as something he had acquired from a hunt. Not that Dean cared much anymore, not after all they had both been through. Really, he should have seen it coming when Dean finally snapped and told him that, if he didn't know him, he would wish to hunt him. He should have known his brother would feel that way, especially when he had gone so far off-base, off-human that he wasn't even sure what he was any more. Still, that didn't mean it stopped his brother's words from hurting like hell. That was why he was in yet another bathroom, hunting knife in shaking hand, pressing the blood-slicked blade to his skin and drawing another line, this one deeper than the others. It had started as his regular routine, but then morphed into something different, something dangerous and alluring that both scared and enticed him. After all, if he was dead, Dean wouldn't have to kill him, would he? Dean probably wouldn't even find him - one of the angels (or maybe even a demon) would find him there, shredded arms and bloody knife, and would dispose of his carcass before his brother could see. Maybe that was a good thing. Spare Dean as much pain as possible. That was why he was doing this, right? Of course it was. With that thought in mind, he made another slash.
Dean's eyes flicked open, quietly swinging his legs off the bed as he reached for his gun under his pillow. Years of hunting hadn't done nothing for his intuition, and his heart started pounding as he glanced at the other motel bed and finding it empty. Sam. He calmed a bit as he noticed the bathroom light was on, but he kept his hand on the pistol as he made his way to the crack between the door and the wooden frame. His brother's back came into view, then this shoulder, then...Dean froze, staring at the blood dripping from Sam's wrists and disappearing from view as they fell into the sink.
The last slash he had made was a bit more vicious than intended, and he had to lean against the sink for support. He didn't want this to be quick. He didn't deserve this to be quick. It needed to be slow, painful, everything he deserved and worse. He felt a slight amount of guilt about ganking himself with his big brother in the other room, but hell, what was the point? Even if Dean found him, he'd probably be relieved; one less future hunt to go on. Aside from that, he doubted the angels would let Dean find him anyhow. Castiel or Gabriel would probably zap his body out of there after his soul had been taken to hell. There was no doubt he was going to hell, either, not after the things he had done. He'd deserve it, though, deserve everything they did to him and said to him, and he'd deserve worse. His only regret was that he hadn't written a note. He should have, at least to explain to Dean why he was doing this, why he had to do this, and that it wasn't Dean's fault. However, he didn't want to have to take the time to try to explain something that was too complex and too much to explain with just a few lines of wrinkled paper and a broken pencil. It was easier to just go - literally and figuratively- and leave Dean with the knowledge that he wouldn't have to kill his baby brother anymore; his baby brother had already taken care of that for himself.
Dean's world spun, seemingly to melt away as he focused on the blade in his brother's right hand, dripping with blood. Demon blood, but his blood. Sammy's blood. Chest contracting, Dean struggled to breathe, to move, to do anything, but he couldn't, staying put in one place as a deafening scream shook his mind, gripping his heart and squeezing. He recognized it as his own, but his mouth hadn't moved even as his brain shrieked in agony. No. No no no no no Sammy Sam Sammy no no please no. The crack in the door left a line of light painted on his body, catching the fear and panic in one eye. Sam, oh little Sam, playing with action figures, then bikes, then knives and guns as he grew under Dean's watchful gaze. Dean's brother. Dean's life, only reason for living, holding a knife to his wrist and cutting, letting his life ebb away with the blood. The gun finally fell from his loose fingers, clattering to the motel's hardwood floor. Dean didn't move to get it, all thoughts screeching to a stop as he watched the knife.
Sam started when he heard the unmistakable sound of metal clattering against hardwood. He hissed as the blade sliced deep into his skin and hurriedly pulled it out, holding it in front of him protectively as he allowed his mangled arm to hang loose by his side, streaming blood onto the linoleum floor, each trickle landing with a soft sound that send red liquid splattering across white tiles. He stared wordlessly at what little he could see of his older brother, eyes wide in pain and, for a brief moment, shock, before resignation took over his features and a small, bitter laugh nearly escaped his throat. Way to go, Sammy, he thought bitterly. Wait until Dean's about to kill you, then decide to gank yourself. Nice. Real nice. Smooth, even. Closing his eyes for a moment, he released a shaky breath, then looked up. "You don't have to now," he murmured, voice soft, gentle, as if he were soothing an angry animal. "I'm taking care of it, Dean. You don't have to kill me. Go back to sleep. It'll be over by morning."
Raw panic won over shocked stillness, finally sparking the adrenaline that it took to move his body, heart pushing it through his veins, to his fingertips, to his toes. Lunging forward, one thought ruled his mind. Protect Sam. It didn't matter that he had to save his brother from himself, it just had to be done, as much as Dean had to breathe, or eat, or sleep. The gun lay forgotten on the ground as he wrenched the knife--no no no Sammy why-- from the younger Winchester, letting it fall into the puddle forming on the ground as he grabbed a towel in the same fluid movement, eyes wide, chest heaving. He wrapped it around the bleeding gashes--oh god Sam please no-- pressing roughly over it. Just have to stop the bleeding. Let it stop. Incoherent sounds fell from his lips as he held tightly onto his little brother, blends of "oh god why" and "Sam no Sammy" choked out of his throat roughly.
Sam's eyes shone with fear as his brother charged at him, and he gave a grunt when the knife was snatched from him. What? Did Dean want to kill him himself? Make sure he was really dead? Get payback for all the years being forced to watch over a kid brother who was an ungrateful little bitch with demon blood inside him? If so, then why was his brother wrapping a towel around his arm, pressing down on the wounds in an attempt to stop the bleeding? Why was he muttering things that occasionally sounded like a question and his name. It didn't make sense. Unless...Unless Dean planned to heal him, patch him up, then kill him. Oh God, no. Please. That...That would be worse than hell. Being lulled into a false sense of love and protection when his brother really just intended to hurt him even worse, to kill him....God, please, no. That was worse than anything he could imagine, and he knew he deserved it, but he really, really didn't want it. So, he struggled. He used what little, fast-draining energy was left in him and struggled, trying to writhe away from the death grip his brother had on him. It was of no use, though; he couldn't escape. Feeling suddenly exhausted and realizing the battle was over, he slumped against Dean's side, either unable or unwilling to stand on his own any longer.
Dean tried to support his brother, but his knees finally buckled, and it was all he could do to keep them from crashing to the cheap linoleum. It was as if he was collapsing in slow motion, lowering the two of them so they were sitting against the cool bathtub, Dean's left hand still wrapped around the rapidly reddening towel, right arm cradling Sam. His voice broke many times as he crooned, and he moved back and forth slightly, swaying them side to side as he pressed his palm to wherever he could; feeling the heated skin of his little brother's neck, his shoulder, his face, arm still wrapped around his back. Oh God, Sam, why? It was his fault, it was always his fault. He did this to him. Oh Sam, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Blood was starting to soak between his fingers, coating his fingertips. His foot rested in the puddle, knife inches away from his toe as they sat, Dean holding Sam as tight as he possibly could. "Sammy, please. Why would you--I can't--without you--" Broken phrases poured out of his mouth, breath hitching, composure lost from the first second he saw the lines on Sam's arm. "I'm so sorry. Please. I'm sorry." He turned his face, pressing hard kisses into the mop of light hair, desperate.
Sam whimpered, pressing his face against his brother's chest as the increased pressure coupled with the change in equilibrium made his head pound. Symptom of blood loss? Probably. Either that or the demons were getting a head start. Either way, it hurt like hell - pun intended - and he needed it to stop, even if it was only to answer Dean's questions. Taking in a few ragged breaths, he choked, "D-Did it so y-you wouldn't have t-to." He knew he should be pushing his brother away now, not only because he needed to die, but also because if, by some miracle, he didn't die, he couldn't let Dean get so close that it would hurt so much more when his brother finally killed him. Vaguely, he wondered if there would be tortured involved, or if Dean would leave that to the folks downstairs. He really didn't want to know, or find out. "P-Please," he whispered, "d-don't do this. Don't s-save me s-so you can k-kill me. M's-sorry."
Each stuttered word pushed daggers through Dean's chest, feeling as if he was the one pouring blood all over the floor, not Sam. "Sam I could never--" the words 'kill you' wouldn't push through, and he swallowed, holding the younger Winchester's head to his chest as if keeping him there would keep Sam in one place, from drifting off. The realization that he could be holding a dying Sammy in his arms, again, sank it's fangs into his mind and his breath stopped. Moving his hand from the side of his brother's face, Dean let it join his left one, holding the ever-redder towel tighter against the torn skin. "Sam, I want you to stay here. Hold this and--and stay alive. Stay alive and don't move, I'm going to be right back, I need my cell phone." He kissed the paling forehead again as he sat up into a crouch, placing Sam's arm into his own lap. "Please--" Voice snapping, he broke into a sprint out of the room, returning only a second later with his phone to his ear. Dean knelt in front of Sam--darling little Sammy--as the line connected. The emergency operator buzzed in his ear. "It's my brother, he tried to-to--" Again, fatal words remained bottled up inside his throat. "Please, just come, I need an ambulance."
Sam, too dazed and pained to do anything else, did as he was told for once. Then again, he always did was he was told when Dean was the one telling him to do it. Sometimes. Maybe. Sorta. God, those lights were damn bright. Since when did stupid little motels get bright-ass lights? Not cool, stupid little motels. Not. Cool. Sam registered that he was incoherent now, that he wasn't making sense, even to his own mind. Did it matter? Not particularly to him, but Dean might be a bit upset. Well, more than a bit upset. Wasn't his brother always like that, though? Sometimes. Maybe. Sorta. Sammy numbly pressed the towel against his skin, cocking his head to the side as he heard a wet sort of squelch when he did so. A hysterical giggle escaped his lips as he repeated the motion, again and again, finding the noise utterly hilarious. Now he knew he had really gone off the deep end, but hey, he was about to take a swan dive six feet under and then some. Maybe a little diving practice wouldn't hurt?
Eyeing his brother's mumbling mouth, panic-stricken, Dean sped through telling the operator the address of the motel and snapped the phone shut, returning to his previous place by his brother's side. He snagged a fresh towel as he did so, removing the soaked one and letting it fall onto his leg, staining his skin. Sam's blood. Oh god, he was going to throw up. How could Dean let this happen? He let Sam down, failed him. Jesus Christ how could he let this happen? "Sam, stay with me, please, just stay with me until the ambulance gets here. Just a little while longer." Tears shaped along his lower lashes, threatening to fall on Sam's gray t-shirt. "Oh God, Sam, why? How could you think I would ever hurt you?" But he could, and he had, knuckles still bruised from the time they collided with Sam's cheekbone, tongue bitter with words he didn't mean. "Sam, I am so sorry. Please." He didn't know who he was pleading with, Sam, or maybe God, wherever he was.
Sam struggled to hold his eyes open, blinking blearily at his brother and adopting a small, lopsided smile as he did so. "Shhhh," he tried to soothe, "S'okay, De." He wasn't sure when the childhood nickname had decided to make an appearance, but hell, he was dying and Dean called him Sammy all the time, so fuck it. He had other things to worry about, namely, his brother. "Shhh. N't y-your fault. Mine. All m-mine." The smile wavered for a second, but he couldn't let it fall. No. If it fell, his heart might just fall with it, and he couldn't let his heart shatter just yet because that would make him dead, wouldn't it? Or would it? He was fairly certain he'd had his heart broken before, but he hadn't died then. Well, not fully, at least. With a small huff, he pushed those thoughts from his mind, forcing himself to focus. "D-Deserve this. D-Didn't wanna make you have t' kill me. S'okay, De. S'okay."
Sobs wracked Dean's body suddenly, his arms holding Sam's slumping body close. "I can't, Sam, not without you. Don't make me do this without you. You know I can't." Heaving breaths broke up the words, and Dean pulled Sam against his shoulder again, trying to ingrain him into his skin, trying to keep him there, by his side. Each movement hurt, heart being crushed by some unseen force, lungs squeezed until they no longer functioned. "I can't lose you again. Not again. Please, Sam." His cheeks were streaked, droplets falling off his chin and onto his chest, leaving little spots on the dark fabric. "Sammy." He ground out the name between clenched teeth. Not here, he pleaded to anyone who would listen. Not Sam. Anyone but Sam. Take me instead, I can't live without him anyway. Lifting Sam's arm so the blood flowed away from the gashes, the image of Sam lying on the linoleum, pale morning light filtering in through the door and reflecting off the scarlet blood in a circle around his body, seared itself into his brain, causing a fresh wave of sobs.
Sammy decided that if he was going to go, this was a really, really good way to do it. His smile never slipped as he was pulled against his brother's warm form, nor did it slip when his eyelids slid closed from utter exhaustion. Surprisingly enough, it didn't even slip when his heart slowed, then finally stopped altogether, growing cold and still and shattered in his chest as his final breath escaped smiling lips. It didn't slip when the EMTs arrived, frantically pulling him away from Dean and starting to shock his heart back into doing its proper function. It didn't slip when the medics pulled away slowly, shaking their heads at his brother, nor when Dean crumpled to his knees on the pavement. It stayed in place as they lowered him into the ground beneath the hand carved cross, and as Cas lay his hand on Dean's shoulder before disappearing, leaving his brother staring down at the freshly dug grave. No one was around to see when it fell, when the world turned darker, only days later, when Dean Winchester turned his gun on himself, pulling the trigger.
Only then did it fall.

NATO Kills Four Children in Afghan Attack
Helicopters Attacked Civilians in Orchard
A district government official in Afghanistan's Ghazni Province is confirming today that NATO attack helicopters targeted a group of civilians in an orchard near the town of Andar, killing four children and wounding three other civilians.
The attack came after unknown insurgents fired on the troops. NATO had initially claimed that all four children killed in the attack were "insurgents" but now says it is investigating the local government's reports to the contrary.
It is the second major attack invoving civilian deaths this week. On Sunday NATO launched air strikes in two provinces, and despite initially claiming that only "70 Taliban" were killed it was later revealed that one of the strikes had actually hit a civilian target, killing at least 13.
Civilian deaths have been on the rise for months in Afghanistan, with fighting between insurgent and occupation forces taking an increasing toll on those caught in between them. The Afghan government has repeatedly complained about civilian killings by NATO troops, but the recent trend has been toward relaxing the rules of engagement amid claims it was harming morale.

Remember the Boston dude who got a blowjob on a subway platform last Friday? Well now things have taken a rather worrying turn for him after he was identified by police.
He now faces three years in prison after being charged with open and gross lewdness, and let's be honest, for one blowjob, that sounds seriously excessive.
The woman has not yet been identified, but at least when she is, she'll be able to split the $300 fine with the poor dude.

I found myself in a large room with a high vaulted ceiling. At the end of the room there were two thrones. On one sat King Lawrence, William's infant brother. He had fallen fast asleep and his cheek was laid against the armrest. Standing next to him was a man I recognized as Duke Artemidorus. He was slightly shorter than average, with wispy red hair that enwreathed his head like a laurel of clouds. He had a round face with a round stomach to match, but his green eyes regarded me with a cruelty the late king's never carried. I looked around the room nervously and realized that I had interrupted some kind of meeting. I tried to avoid the nobles' glares.
"Who allowed this whelp to enter our midst?" The duke's speech was as short and clipped as his beard and moustache. The guards walked in and grabbed me by the shoulders.
"I am going to teach you a lesson you are never going to forget." I heard Orion growl.
"Wait!" I shouted. But Artemidorus acted like I was already gone.
I looked pleadingly at King William.
"Tell them you have information on my death!" He whispered frantically.
"I have information on King William's death!"
All of their eyes swiveled towards me, and from the expressions on their faces I might as well have been on fire. The silence must have been too loud for the young king, for he lifted his head sleepily before putting it back down. Finally, the regent spoke.
"What on earth are you talking about?"
"The king didn't kill himself. He was murdered."
The duke's brows creased. One of the men in the room let out a loud guffaw.
"You obviously don't know the hearts of the youth. Why, so aroused are they in their fanatical desire for a woman's heart that they would go to great lengths to prove themselves. Why, when I was but a young lad..."
"Don't humor him!" Artemidorus snapped. The man fell quiet, but continued rambling to himself under his breath.
The king's face reddened in anger. "Fanatical desires indeed! Ask them why I would kill myself if I had already asked Sarah to marry me."
"Why would he kill himself if he had already asked Sarah to marry him?"
Artemidorus' eyes glinted like shards of ice. "How would you know that information?"
I turned to William, but he seemed to be at a loss for words. I decided to make up an answer.
"I was cleaning the floor for one of the maids near the balcony where the late king had his last conversation."
"Which maid?"
"I can't recall her name, but I know that she had brown hair and brown eyes."
The regent scowled, knowing fully well that most of the maids in the castle had brown hair and brown eyes. He addressed the guards.
"Take him away. And give him a severe beating."
I winced. I remember one man who was sentenced to a beating from the guards. We never saw him again, but one of the slaves claimed that she saw them dumping a body in the lake later that night. The guards dragged me through the halls and threw me to the grounds in the courtyard outside.
"Take off your shirt." Orion ordered.
What else could I do? I began to comply, but the younger guard spoke up.
"We can't beat him. He is only a youth."
"Orders are orders," was the gruff reply.
The young man pressed on. "Would they do this kind of thing in your country?"
Orion was silent for a while. Finally, he spoke to me.
"Get out of here." I looked back at him, unsure. He pushed me in the chest.
"Go, before I change my mind!" I made a run for it.
Will came up beside me, shaking his head. "That was a failure."
I kicked a stone. "I told you they wouldn't listen to a slave."
He hung his head. I wondered- and hoped- if he had given up. Then his face brightened.
"I know who you should talk to!" He took off.
"Wait!" I shouted after him, "Who?"

New Delhi: The Supreme Court (SC) today asked former Satyam managing director B Rama Raju and four others, accused in Rs14,000-crore accounting fraud in Satyam, as to why their bails should not be cancelled, reports PTI.
The Supreme Court bench comprising justice Deepak Verma and justice Dalbeer Bhandari issued notices to the five accused on a petition filed by CBI.
The Andhra Pradesh high court in July had granted bails to Rama Raju, brother of Satyam founder B Ramalinga Raju, former Satyam CFO V Srinivas and three others - former IT company employees G Ramakrishna, Venkatapathi Raju and Ch Srisailam accused in the India's largest corporate fraud.
Satyam founder Ramalinga Raju, Rama Raju and eight others were arrested last year after the former admitted to fudging the accounts of the IT company.
Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium appearing for CBI submitted before the court that these are the persons who have recruited some of the key witnesses in Satyam and may alter the evidences.
The Supreme Court asked the five accused to reply within a week.
The IFA (Independent/Individual Financial Advisor) is on life support, suspected dead — and the prime suspect is the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). What can be done to revive the industry?
In the last article (see: http://www.moneylife.in/article/72/8477.html) we had explored how the measures taken by SEBI have delivered a body blow to the mutual fund (MF) industry. In this piece, we try to examine the issue further.
Change always hurts. However, when necessary, it should be brought about in the face of resistance from all sides - because this change necessarily involves trampling on someone's toes and upsetting some apple carts. In this respect, hats off to SEBI!
I do agree with 95% of the changes made by SEBI. I disagreed with the dual load structure - one for institutions and one for retail investors. I complained about this to the industry CEOs and it was like banging one's head against a stonewall - they would not listen - because it was convenient for them to ignore me.
However, I disagreed with a few changes e.g. making the Sensex and Nifty as the sole benchmarks for equity funds - this does not make sense as MF schemes should be pitched against a similar rival if their performance is to be properly gauged.
While dealing with human beings, one has to be extra sensitive and careful because changes can cause irreversible psychological damage - which leave permanent scars. It also affects a person's ability to live e.g., pay bills, meet commitments, pay for the education of children, etc. The distributors have been damaged severely - both psychologically and financially - many have actually become nervous wrecks.
In advanced countries changes are made in a more caring and humane manner. The persons affected are given 3-5 years before a change is made, so that they can prepare for it. If they do not prepare for the change they have no reason to complain, because they have ample time to gear up for any eventuality. However with our wild bureaucrats, we cannot expect anything other than the 'rough and ready' treatment because they want to show that they have achieved something during their tenure and want their names in the 'Hall of Fame' - irrespective of the damage they have caused. Adolf Hitler and Genghis Khan come to mind when you examine their behaviour.
In this respect, SEBI has been extremely unfair to distributors. To make things worse, the ones affected are those who have been serving their clients diligently and honestly and so do not understand why they are being punished. The ones who have mis-sold are essentially the bankers and a few big/ignorant/dishonest distributors. The bankers have got promotions from the mis-selling and are enjoying the fun. The big distributors have piled up huge assets and now have the holding power with their huge trail brokerage. The persons affected are the honest and sincere medium/small-sized distributors who have been serving their clients diligently - also there is a huge entry barrier for new vocations in this line - which is stifling talent.
If SEBI merely wanted transparency then they should have first put the new remuneration structure in place and then abolished upfront brokerage. They should have printed uniform forms across the MF industry with a column for the commission rate to be mentioned - it would have had the transparency that was required and also would have been fair to the distributor - there would have been a smooth transition. SEBI actually wanted to punish and destroy the distributor community because they have not understood the need for a distributor - this is the truth of the matter. The regulator's aim is to replicate its success in share regulation upon the MF industry - which is not possible - MFs are different products altogether.
SEBI has effectively abolished the remuneration of the distributors by asking them to collect them from the investor - when in fact, commissions have never been collected from investors in this manner. Thus investors are refusing to pay even the brightest minds for excellent services. SEBI's 'solution' is quite utopian. SEBI's staffers are earning fat salaries, CEOs of MF houses along with their staff and fund managers are earning fabulous packets - but the distributor (who is a soft target) is expected to work for free! This is not fair. This has made distributors stop working; and the industry has screeched to a grinding halt. You cannot blame the distributor for not working for free - but you can blame the authorities for wanting them to do the same. So thanks to the new regulations, the MF industry has been held at ransom for one year and investors, whom SEBI is supposed to protect, have been left stranded.
Before I end, let us look at how abolishing the remuneration structure has defeated the very purpose of the mutual fund industry:
(Ms S Rodrigues is a financial and investment consultant based in Pune. She has, of course, used a pseudonym).
The market managed a flat closing with a positive bias on the first trading day of the week amid a highly volatile session. It ended marginally lower on Tuesday on weak economic data from Europe that was announced on Monday. Lower-than-expected existing home sales data from the US dragged the markets lower all over the world on Wednesday and India was no exception. Bargain-hunting towards the end of the session helped the indices settle with marginal gains on Thursday. The market went into a tailspin on Friday, ahead of Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke's at an annual symposium at Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
For the week ended 27th August, the Sensex was down 403 points (2%) at 17.998 and the Nifty was down 122 points (2%) at 5,408.
The top Sensex performers during the week were Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (up 5%), Bharti Airtel (up 2%), NTPC and State Bank of India (SBI) (up 1% each). The top Sensex losers were Jaiprakash Associates (down 9%), Reliance Infrastructure (R-Infra), Hindalco Industries, DLF (down 8% each) and Hero Honda Motors (down 7%).
The BSE Consumer Durables (CD) index was the lone gainer in the sectoral space during the week, up 1%. The sectoral losers on a weekly basis were BSE Realty index (down 9%) and BSE Metal (down 3%).
The government this week extended sops worth Rs1,052 crore to exporters, particularly for the labour-intensive textile, handicrafts and leather sectors, to help them see through the fragile economic recovery globally.
However, the Centre made it clear that the popular Duty Entitlement Pass Book (DEPB) scheme, which has been in vogue for over a decade, is being extended for the last time. The government also extended the zero-duty Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) scheme by one year to 31 March 2012. The scheme, which was announced in August last year, was to expire on 31 March 2011.
Food inflation moderated for the second straight week in the week ended 14th August to 10.05% as vegetables turned cheaper, but analysts said price volatility will continue till October when fresh crops arrive in markets.
Inflation in food items dipped marginally from 10.35% in the previous week. It was 13.45% in the same period last year and had crossed 20% in December 2009.
Fuel inflation remained steady at 12.57%, as the recent hike in prices of petrol, diesel and other related products have already been accounted.
Overall inflation, as measured by the wholesale price index (WPI), fell to single-digits at 9.97% in July, after a gap of five months.
Key infrastructure industries registered a sluggish growth of 3.9% in July that experts say may come in the way of double-digit expansion in overall industrial output. The six core industries - crude oil, petroleum refinery products, coal, electricity, cement and finished steel - had registered a 3.6% growth in June this year. The growth rate was 3.2% in July 2009, data released by the commerce and industry ministry said.
The Cabinet approved the much-awaited Direct Tax Code (DTC) Bill, which is likely to be tabled in Parliament during the ongoing monsoon session and referred to a select committee of members of both the houses.
The bill proposes to raise the income tax exemption limit from the present Rs1.6 lakh to Rs2 lakh. It also seeks to remove surcharge and cesses on corporate tax, providing relief to business houses.
Ending months of wrangling between the treasury benches and the opposition, the Lok Sabha approved the 'Civil Liability for Nuclear Damages Bill' after the government dropped the contentious provision of "intent" in case of accidents.
The bill seeks to fix the liability cap on operators in case of accidents at Rs10,000 crore, instead of Rs1,500 crore proposed earlier.
On the international front, US Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke on Friday said that the central bank 'would do its best' to prevent the country from slipping back into a recession. He portrayed a scenario for continued expansion as households rebuild their savings, banks increase lending and companies become more willing to hire.
Meanwhile, the US Commerce Department lowered its estimate for gross domestic product in the second quarter to an annual pace of 1.6% from an initially reported 2.4%.
Back home, auto and SUV major Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) earlier this week signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with South Korea-based Ssangyong Motor Company (SMC). The Indian major said that the signing of the MoU will be followed by "a detailed due diligence process and finalisation of definitive agreements."
The company, however, was tight-lipped on the sum that it had agreed to pay to emerge as the preferred bidder for the South Korean automaker, which has a debt of $640 million.

After a Muslim terrorist attack, which ISIS has now claimed responsibility for, has left 50 dead and 53 injured in the hospital, will the GOP elites and liberals still hate Trump for his stance on Islam?
Or is it time that America finally wakes up to the reality that is in front of them?
Here is the scathing message that Trump had for Obama:
Is President Obama going to finally mention the words radical Islamic terrorism? If he doesn't he should immediately resign in disgrace!

A convention was held in Las Vegas, where major retail buyers from around the globe viewed Spring / Summer 2013 collections with the hottest styles and trends.
Runway shows, along with designer and brand presentations were showcased to retailers including such recognizable names as The Men's Wearhouse Inc. and Macy's Inc. Many factors come into play when these retailers are choosing collections for their retail stores and websites. Current best sellers, price points, target market, as well as the latest fabric techniques, are all considerations when making the buy for the season.
Standout trends from the Las Vegas trade shows include; colored denim, "athleisure" and pops of colors.
Many buyers and retail executives noted that tank tops were the most in demand product this season. They also shared the product categories they would be purchasing for their companies for Spring 2013, which includes tailored suits, shirts, neckwear, shoes, slim fit tuxedos, tops (collegiate-inspired looks) and updated sport coats. Other trends in apparel are athleisure (fashion lingo for active-inspired sportswear), and printed frocks. Furthermore, many retailers believe transition pieces are important so customers can purchase a look, and have confidence it can make it through more than one season. Colors trends for Spring 2013 collections are neon accents, neutrals, and white. Fabrics to look for when buying your spring wardrobe: linen blends, spring suede, performance fabrics and denim (both colored and waxed). Be confident in adding the new colors and fabrications to your wardrobe for the Spring 2013 season.

Dark Days
The sky was crowded with clouds, the little light that fell through was bitter. The fingers of sunlight, of warmth and love, were shielded from us.
An icy wind licked at our necks and bit at our bare skin. Roused early from our beds, we trudged along our paths, narrow rocky roads which seemed to never come to an end. I shivered under my clothes, glancing up through the grey half-light to see our shepards, faceless in their black cloaks upon their great throne of horses, appearing like dark dragons as they spouted their misty smoke in the cold, as they yelled and shouted, and drove us onwards. We were like pigs being led to slaughter and we knew it.
Our feet ached, the stones beneath them felt like thorns. No one complained, not a word was spoken.
Around us, the cold beauty of great mountainsides, backs of giants rose as our walls. I was earlier told that these were the F'aelian Peaks, but at the moment it seemed not to matter. They wore their snowy white caps and were draped in clothes of grey to match all the surrounding, appearing more like chilled prison walls more than anything. From the sky now floated the first snowflakes, a sign of the even harder winter weather to come. Even the gods seemed to spit on us.
Looking around me, many of the faces were strange and unfamiliar, but they were all filled with pain and fear, sadness and gloom. Some were old, near too old to walk, and some held baby children in their arms. We were tied together by our common agony, our same loss.
Where we were herded? We knew not. Would we even survive to see our desitination? There was an agreed doubt. What would occur when we arrived--death, enprisonment, slavery? It was all the result of a failed war, and all we were aware of was that we had now entered dark days.
I only wished to escape to my dreams. For we all knew as long as we lived there would be no escape in reality.

More workers covered by HMOs and PPOs
January 08, 1999
About 76 percent of full-time employees in medium and large private establishments participated in medical care plans in 1997, roughly the same share as in 1995. However, participation in health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and preferred provider organizations (PPOs) increased, while coverage by traditional fee-for-service plans decreased.
[Chart data—TXT]
In 1997, about 73 percent of full-time employees with medical care benefits were covered by non-traditional health care plans, including 33 percent by HMOs and 40 percent by PPOs. In 1995, 63 percent of covered workers had non-traditional health care plans.
Coverage by traditional fee-for-service plans continued to decline: only 27 percent of all medical benefit participants were in fee-for-service plans in 1997, compared with 37 percent in 1995.
As a result of this shift in coverage, employees with medical care benefits were much more likely to be eligible for preventive care—such as routine physical exams, well-baby care, and immunizations—in 1997 than in 1995. Non-traditional medical care plans often provide such benefits.
Data on health care coverage and other employee benefits are available from the BLS Employee Benefits Survey. For additional information, see news release USDL 99-02, "Employee Benefits in Medium and Large Private Establishments, 1997."

Karachi: Dozens of Karachi residents, angered by 'Indian cross border firings', protested on Saturday against India on the streets of the Pakistani port city.
Cross-border firing between India and Pakistan on Friday killed six civilians and injured more than 40 in villages on the Pakistani side of the border. The 47 injured include 24 women and 11 children, ISPR the media wing of the Pakistani military, said in a statement.
Tensions have been running high between the nuclear-armed neighbours since the NSA-level talks that were due to be held last weekend were called off at the last minute.
The talks had been agreed on at a meeting in Ufa between the Prime Ministers of both the nations, but fell apart over whether the disputed territory of Kashmir should be put on the agenda.
Pakistan summoned Indian High Commissioner TCA Raghavan on Friday and lodged a strong protest over alleged ceasefire violations and said that six civilians had been killed by the Indian troops in the firing. (ANI)

Mother bear, 3 cubs spend afternoon in Altamonte Springs tree
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. - A mother bear and her three cubs spent much of Thursday in a tree near some homes on Midway Drive in Altamonte Springs.
"It is very scary knowing what the bear could actually do as a mother defending her cubs," said resident Crystal Rowe.
Earlier in the day, Rowe said the bears, 30 feet up in the tree, had her concerned.
"It is in midday right now and I have to worry about my kids running around playing," Rowe said.
According to Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission officials, the bears likely climbed the tree out of fear.
The officials said it often happens when bears are on the move from one area to another.
"She hasn't done any harm yet, but who's to say that she (won't) eventually in the long run. I just wish that they could get relocated," said Rowe.
In a statement to Channel 9 FWC officials said they had no plans to try to capture and relocate the bears.
"Now is the time to expect bears to show up looking for food. If they cannot find food in your neighborhood, they will move on. Never intentionally approach a bear," Greg Workman, with FWC, said in the statement.
While some residents expressed concern about the bears, others said they were certain the bears felt threatened as well.
"This is their habitat. They are not out here to hurt us. She is just looking for food," said resident Marie Finnegan.
Shortly after a thunderstorm passed through the neighborhood Thursday afternoon, the bears climbed down from the tree and headed to a nearby wooded area.

Respiratory Medicine and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Section, Clinic Center, Naple, Italy
SESSION TYPE: Pediatric Pulmonology Posters
PRESENTED ON: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
PURPOSE: Cough in children is the most common problems managed by pediatricians, and much attention has been drawn to the fact that commonly-used antitussive agents for the pediatric population are not supported by adequate efficacy data to justify their use. Mainly two classes of antitussives drugs are available: Centrally acting (opioids and non opioids) and peripherally acting levodropropizine, which is an orally-administered non-opiod agent whose peripheral antitussive actionmay result from its modulation of sensory neuropeptide levels within the respiratory tract.
METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was performed on the main electronic databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library) from their inception throughout January 2012, to identify original clinical studies of levodropropizine vs. control in the pediatric population. Overall, 4 studies including a total of 518 patients met the eligibility criteria. Three studies were conducted vs. central antitussives (Banderali 1995[ Kim Dong Soo 2002, and De Blasio 2012), and 1 study vs. placebo (Fiocchi 1991). We performed a meta-analysis with the aim to evaluate the overall efficacy of levodropropizine vs. control in children. In order to make the efficacy outcomes comparable, we standardized the variables of the different studies, in particular: cough severity, frequency of cough and nocturnal sleeping quality.Absol. Delta are the differences between the starting and ending values of parameters in levodropropizine and control treatment groups, DS are the (approx) standard deviations, and N are the numbers of cases studied.
RESULTS: The overall reduction of the severity of all efficacy parameters was higher in the levodropropizine group, and the difference vs. controls was highly statistically significant (P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: This analysis of these studies provides an overview of the major comparative evidence on levodropropizine in terms of efficacy in the pediatric setting. This standardized meta-analysis indicates that levodropropizine is an effective antitussive drug, showing better outcomes vs. central antitussives in terms of reducing cough intensity, frequency and nightly awakenings.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: When children show cough symptom is very important first of all to identify the cause. When an antitussive treatment is required, a drug with solid clinical evidences should be used. Centrally acting cough suppressants, although largely used, have no consistent evidence of efficacy.

Optometrists are doctors who specialize in eye care treatment. They conduct eye exams to detect such vision problems as farsightedness or nearsightedness, and prescribe corrective lenses such as glasses or contacts. Optometrists also examine patients for eye injuries, disorders and diseases such as glaucoma. According to May 2012 data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, they also earned an average annual wage of $109,810, making optometry both a lucrative and a high-demand career.
BLS Outlook Data
Through 2020, job growth for the average U.S. occupation will increase by 14.3 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, demand for optometrists will increase by 33 percent during the same time frame. Optometry is a small field with only 34,200 optometrists, so a 33 percent increase will add 11,300 new jobs to the market by 2020.
Reasons for Demand
The Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry reports that there is a demand for optometrists to provide preventative and corrective eye care. Also, an aging population will create more demand for vision care, and this trend will span the next several decades. In addition, as optometrists reach retirement age, these vacancies will create job openings. Yet another factor fueling demand for optometrists is an increase in the number of insurance plans that provide vision care coverage.
Job Outlook Comparisons
When comparing the job outlook for optometrists to other health care professions, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects demand for chiropractors to increase by 28 percent through 2020. Pharmacists will experience a 25 percent growth rate, while physicians and surgeons can expect to see a 24 percent increase in new jobs. For dentists, the growth rate is 21 percent, while podiatrists will see a 20 percent increase. Comparing optometry to other nonmedical professions, civil engineers will experience a 19 percent growth rate, while lawyers will only see a 10 percent increase in demand for their services.
Where Optometrists Work
More than 50 percent of optometrists work in stand-alone optometry offices. Another 13 percent work in physicians' offices, while 8 percent are employed in health and personal care stores and 2 percent work in outpatient care centers. Optometrists also work in hospitals. At least 22 percent of optometrists are self-employed. From a geographical standpoint, the states employing the most optometrists are California, New York, Texas, Illinois and Florida.
