The Catholic Calumet
Full Product Description
In 1730 a delegation of Illinois Indians arrived in the French colonial capital of New Orleans. An Illinois leader presented two ceremonial pipes, or calumets, to the governor. One calumet represented the diplomatic alliance between the two men and the other symbolized their shared attachment to Catholicism. The priest who documented this exchange also reported with excitement how the Illinois recited prayers and sang hymns in their Native language, a display that astonished the residents of New Orleans. The "Catholic" calumet and the Native-language prayers and hymns were the product of long encounters between the Illinois and Jesuit missionaries, men who were themselves transformed by these sometimes intense spiritual experiences. The conversions of people, communities, and cultural practices that led to this dramatic episode all occurred in a rapidly evolving and always contested colonial context. In The Catholic Calumet, historian Tracy Neal Leavelle examines interactions between Jesuits and Algonquian-speaking peoples of the upper Great Lakes and Illinois country, including the Illinois and Ottawas, in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.Leavelle abandons singular definitions of conversion that depend on the idealized elevation of colonial subjects from "savages" to "Christians" for more dynamic concepts that explain the changes that all participants experienced. A series of thematic chapters on topics such as myth and historical memory, understandings of human nature, the creation of colonial landscapes, translation of religious texts into Native languages, and the influence of gender and generational differences demonstrates that these encounters resulted in the emergence of complicated and unstable cross-cultural religious practices that opened new spaces for cultural creativity and mutual adaptation.
The Catholic Calumet by Tracy Neal Leavelle was published by University of Pennsylvania Press in October 2011. The ISBN for The Catholic Calumet is 9780812243772.

We Live in Water: Stories (original 2013; edition 2013)
by Jess Walter
Work details
We Live in Water: stories by Jess Walter (2013)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Short stories set in the Pacific Northwest. There are tough/not-so-tough guys, cons, ex-cons, future cons,dealers, hustlers--a range of "fringe people." There is also a gentleness in these people, especially in their dealings with children.
Library book.
I just finished my 3rd Jess Walter book in a row. This collection short stories was short and excellent. It surrounds down and out men and how they deal with life. It is not a happy collection but it is also short so it should not overly depress you. A great portrayal of people living on the downside of life. Very creative stories and a good introduction to Jess Walter. The finally story was a statistical abstract of my hometown, which is Spokane and was terrific. This book will make you look at your own life and be grateful for the good parts.
This was a collection of short stories by Jess Walter. Most of the stories were about men who had hit a rough patch in life and were working to get beyond it the best they could. The characters in the stories all seemed like real people with realistic problems and reactions. Some of my favorites were "Anything Helps," which was about a homeless man trying to stay on the wagon and raise the money to buy his son a Harry Potter book; "Thief," which is about a man who suspects that one of his children is stealing change from the family vacation fund; "The Wolf and the Wild," which is about a man doing court ordered community service at an elementary school in a high poverty area; and "Don't Eat Cat," which is about a man who lives in a world where a recreational drug is turning people into zombies. Not only were many of the stories moving, but they also felt complete despite being short stories. I never got the feeling that it was ending before there was closure. I definitely recommend this collection.
from the new book box; a set of stories set in author's town of Spokane, current day. I can't tell how much is fact vs fiction. My favorite was "Going to Cardboard", about the way a homeless man pan-handles. I never thought about the homeless figuring out the different angles to get money. Most of the tales were uncomfortable to read, but very well written
A collection of short stories. Some were good. Most were average. None will stick with me.
Fortunately, Walter is a bighearted man who excels at writing about other bighearted, if broken, men. That generosity of spirit, coupled with Walter's seeming inability to look away from the messy bits, elevates these stories from dirges to symphonies. For Walter, we do live in water, an immense soup of muddled humanity sloshing around and spilling over, soaking us all. Everything is a reflection of everything else, with no such thing as disconnection. Or isolation. Or edges. Or solid ground.
Not every writer thinks of his stories as troubled offspring, but in Mr. Walter's case it's a fair description. ...Nobody in this collection's 13 pieces can be described as headed for anything but trouble.
...The short form has allowed Mr. Walter to assemble his most bleakly funny, hard-edge book in years.

"We Live in Water, the first collection of short fiction from New York Times bestselling author Jess Walter, is a suite of diverse, often comic stories about personal struggle and diminished dreams, all of them marked by the wry wit and generosity of spirit that has made him one of our most talked-about writers. In "Thief," a blue-collar worker turns unlikely detective to find out which of his kids is stealing from the family vacation fund. In "We Live in Water," a lawyer returns to a corrupt North Idaho town to find the father who disappeared thirty years earlier. In "Anything Helps," a homeless man has to "go to cardboard" to raise enough money to buy his son the new Harry Potter book. In "Virgo," a local newspaper editor tries to get back at his superstitious ex-girlfriend by screwing with her horoscope. And the collection's final story transforms slyly from a portrait of Walter's hometown into a moving contemplation of our times."--from cover, p. [4]… (more)

UF men's tennis advances at NCAAs
Published: Saturday, May 12, 2012 at 10:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 12, 2012 at 10:17 p.m.
The Florida Gators are one win away from the NCAA Round of 16 after downing Navy, 4-0, in first-round tournament action at Scott Linder Stadium Saturday.
UF, the No. 12 overall seed in this year's NCAA Tournament, improved to 15-9 with a quick and precision-like sinking of the Midshipmen, who finished their season at 18-9.
Florida took the doubles point to open the match by virtue of wins at No. 1 from the tandem of senior Nassim Slilam and junior Tripper Carleton (8-4) and at No. 2 from the duo of junior Bob van Overbeek and sophomore Spencer Newman (8-3) and never looked back.
"It's very important in team tournaments to get the first point on the board, and we did that by taking the doubles," UF head coach Andy Jackson said. "That's obviously a big part of any match to get that momentum going."
The Gators carried that momentum into singles led by Slilam, the team's lone senior, who took just 35 minutes to complete a 6-0, 6-0 whitewash of Navy's Peter McDonald at No. 3 singles and stake UF to an early 2-0 lead.
"I've been practicing the past two weeks really well and with a lot of intensity, and today I played really solid," Slilam said. "I didn't miss a ball. My serve was good and my return was good."
"He's a superior talent and he played disciplined," Jackson said. "He was obviously good today."
Van Overbeek put Florida a point away from victory a few minutes later by finishing off Navy's Marcus Rebersak at No. 1 singles, 6-1, 6-0, and sophomore Florent Diep, who like Slilam is from Paris, France, provided the clincher for the Gators by closing out the Middies' Nicholas Gutsche at the No. 5 spot with a 6-0, 6-0 victory.
Florida was comfortably ahead in the three remaining singles matches as Carleton, Newman and sophomore Michael Alford all had won their first sets and were ahead in their second sets.
With the win, UF advanced to the second round today where the Gators will meet Harvard, which outlasted Virginia Tech, 4-2, in a marathon opening match that was quite the opposite of Florida's short contest.
The Crimson and Gators will square off at 2 p.m. The two programs have met six times previously, with the all-time series tied at 3-all.
The Ivy League champions, ranked No. 23, are 23-2 after ending the season for Virginia Tech (11-12).
While Jackson was pleased with the efficiency of UF's win, he is wary of the Crimson.
"I think that's important because obviously Virginia Tech and Harvard battled for almost four hours," Jackson said of Florida's short match. "But the character of Harvard's team shines through. I watched quite a bit of that match. They will be right in our face, and we know it.
"We're looking forward to the challenge. It's going to be hot again, which is good for us, and we're going to try and make it a physical match."
Today's winner advances to the Athens, Ga., for the remainder of the NCAA Championships.
"Navy won their conference (Patriot League), and we were prepared, which is a sign of respect for Navy," Jackson noted. "We also know we're better than Navy, and the competition level will go up drastically against a Top 25 team like Harvard.
"We're looking forward to securing a spot in Athens for the Round of 16."

Rogue's Review: Darkseid
October 1st, 2011
I don't usually deal in the sort of criticism that tries to find the spirit of our time in this or that piece of pop culture detritus, but for the past few years I've felt smothered by four little words – THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE! – and every time I see or hear a variation on that theme, there's only one face I see.
No point in trying to keep the bastard stuck in a corner anymore. You can only fight him off for so long, you know?
It's time to let Darkseid out of the box:

The new video was shot yesterday on board a

Maltodextrin is a kind of a sweet polysaccharide. This chemical compound has less calories than sugar—about four calories per gram—and contains just minute amounts of fat. It also has a small amount of fiber and protein.
Maltodextrin is thought to be more easily digested, and doesn't cause the stomach upsets associated with other sweeteners. This makes it ideal for people who are overweight, or are trying to control their sugar levels. In fact, it is crucial for people who have Type 2 Diabetes. Since many believe that, among the artificial sweeteners, it has the closest taste to sugar, it is best used in teas, coffees and even powdered soft drinks. It is also found in flavored gelatins and instant pudding. Since it also has thickening qualities maltodextrin is also used in sauces and salad dressings.
Maltodextrin is manufactured from rice, corn or potato starch. When these foods are cooked, the starch breaks down, aided by the release of natural acids and enzymes. This procedure is called hydrolysis. It isolates the maltodextrin, which in its purest form, is a white powder. The end result is a simple white powder that contains roughly four calories per gram, and extremely small amounts of fiber, fat, and protein.
Maltodextrin is easier to digest than other sugar substitutes, and is made from natural source (unlike others, which are artificially combined in laboratories). That is why some people believe that it has less health risks than other sweeteners. It is also inexpensive and readily available, and completely safe to use.

Nestle looks to sell Jenny Craig as part of divestiture push - sources
By Olivia Oran and Martinne Geller
NEW YORK/LONDON Oct 8 (Reuters) - Nestle is looking to sell its Jenny Craig diet business and is speaking to a small group of potential buyers about the brand, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
The sources, who declined to be identified as talks are private, said on Tuesday that Nestle was working with Goldman Sachs on the sale process.
Nestle and Goldman Sachs declined to comment.
The potential sale comes after the world's largest food group said last week that divesting low-performing businesses was a top strategic priority. CEO Paul Bulcke said that some businesses had been a drag for too long.
Reuters reported last month that Nestle was also looking to divest its PowerBar energy bar business.
Other challenged areas that analysts point to as being ripe for pruning include Nestle's ice cream, frozen foods and water businesses. Liberum Capital suggests that Nestle could also sell its table and cooking sauces business, as well as its stake in L'Oreal cosmetics.
Nestle bought Jenny Craig in 2006 for $600 million from private equity groups ACI Capital and MidOcean Partners as part of its push into nutrition.
The brand, which operates weight loss centers and sells packaged food under the Jenny Craig name, has been hit by the economic slowdown as many consumers have cut back spending on themselves. Continued...

Well done sir!
The Remora is not an everyday, everywhere holster. But it is an excellent, inexpensive (lifetime warranty), holster that allows for easy and discrete carry on the fly.
I use mine with an LCP for extended periods of time in casual office wear and weekend extreme casual wear and no one including my wife ever knows.
I have at least one of every kind of holster known to man........that's a bit of an exaggeration but not by much. I tend to have a belt holster and IWB holster for all of my handguns. I have 3 Remora's. I use them for the daily walk to the car, car to office, ride to lunch, and ride home with a stop or two thrown in on the way home now and then. I also carry around the home and property with a Remora because of the comfort and convenience. I am very fortunate to work for a small engineering firm where all 7 of the men at our office have their CCW permit and we all carry at work regularly. I typically remove my Remora and weapon and place it on my desk during the day. For this "light" duty the Remora's have worked very well. For all day carry I use a leather IWB or belt holsters but the Remora has its place in the carry lineup.
Thanks for sharing. The remora works as advertised
Can I have the last minute of my life back?
Great ending to a good story, thanks. I also carry a xd subcompact in a remora, same jeans... was not looking forward to your "disaster" details...
Barkin, if I knew you personally, I'd give you a swift kick in the pants for the false advertising in the title of your thread!
You missed your calling. O. Henry would be proud!
I have the remora that works in a pocket, but it is better at IWB
I usually use a very flat holster that came with my crimson trace when i pocket carry
The remora adds a little thickness and is a bit too tacky as i have to fight it to get it out of my pocket at the end of the day
I also like the mag carrier for a back pocket. Feels like a wallet.

King, a 6-foot-4, 250-pounder, was ranked the 55th-best offensive guard in the nation, while receiving three stars. This ranking came in conjunction with the updated Scout.com rankings, which included 1,500 prospects from around the country.
King gave his verbal commitment to Northwestern on May 1, just one day after receiving an offer from the Wildcats. He is the second and most recent addition to NU's 2013 recruiting class, joining four-star quarterback prospect Matthew Alviti.
The Scout.com rankings are continuously updated, up until being finalized in January of 2013, shortly before National Signing Day.

KLST Tues. 03/18/14 Noon Weather
Winds will be one of the main factors to watch for all afternoon, along with much warmer conditions. The Concho Valley will jump from nearly seasonal yesterday to above average today with highs near the upper 80's. Winds will stay stead between 15 to 20 miles per hour with gusts up to 25 throughout the day as it slowly switches to the northwest by late tonight/early tomorrow morning. That's where we expect to find the cold front push through allowing winds to slowly decrease and become much more mild overnight. Partly cloudy skies along the front will keep lows above freezing, but not by much only reaching the upper 30's. By Wednesday look for light winds out of the east-northeast 5 to 10 with mostly sunny skies and temps in the mid 60's. Conditions quickly rebound back to the upper 70's for Thursday with more 80's in store for Friday. Again that's where we expect to see our next cold front, this one dropping conditions to the 70's for Saturday and the low to upper 60's Sunday and Monday with extra cloud cover, along with a hit at possible showers but once again the moisture looks to stay well off to our east.

Top 7 Fashion Trends of the Moment
Fashion trends seem to change by the moment, as culture consumes itself more rapidly than ever, thanks to the Internet's darling child named 'Social Media'. Fashion is one of those trendsetting cultural engines – fueled by the mighty modeling agency and early adopting celebrities – that will never die down.
So without further ado, mark your Twitter hashtags and check our these 7 FashionTrends of the moment.
1. Furs
Perhaps it's the primal animal side of us rearing its beautiful head, but furs are big-time in vogue right now and they are popping up in every conceivable way, as accessories, jacket linings, earmuffs, and anklets. Don't be surprised to see undergarment fur becoming popular soon. Gasp.
2. Sequins
Like furs, sequins are showing up in a lot of different styles right now, including swimsuits, evening gowns, jeans, and T-shirts. Since they can be used for stylish flair or simply a subtle addition to your existing wardrobe, sequins are extremely versatile. Fortunately, sequins are relatively inexpensive.
3. Colored Pants
If you think about it, you can just see them walking down the street – purple pants, green pants, yellow pants, all bright primary colors. This relic of the 80's won't go away and one can only thank their lucky stars that there aren't more colors in the rainbow.
4. She-Timberlands
Girls wearing Timberland boots is another craze in the fashion world right now. Utility boots in general seem to be doing well as statements of style and independence.
5. Denim Jackets
Denim, especially the faded denim jacket look, is big again for the first time since the 80's. Since they are warm, denim jackets are naturally popular in the winter time and even look stylish in the spring. Wear with plaid and wait for the magic.
6. Cardigan Sweaters
Popular among men and woman across many age ranges, cardigan sweaters are selling like hot cakes. The big question facing you is whether you will button it up or not. Also, be careful not to wear too loosely, unless you are going for the librarian look.
7. He-Scarves
Men have never worn scarves more than they do right now. Popular among hipsters, academics, and athletes alike, this style is so pervasive that it's hardly even considered effeminate anymore.
Interestingly, pan-sexual stylistic themes are popular right now – women wearing boots, men wearing scarves, both men and women wearing cardigans and denim. But remember, fashion changes on a dime. Tomorrow we could be back to zoot suits and cargo pants!

I'm going to be installing this base molding and I have two questions What type saw would I use to cut the corner angle? Could I use a miter? I have to buy one anyway for my crown. How do I get the measurement for the corner angle so I cut it right? It's a 90 degree corner. What type nails should I use. I have a porter cable compressor and nail gun and it came with 16 gauge 2" nails. Thanks a lot
#1, I would not be using MDF trim, but ha it's your house.
Since your also going to be cutting crown I'd buy a 12" compound miter saw.
Best way to fit base is to always cope the joints.
Coping will give you a tighter fit and less likely for gaps to open up.
If you make the cuts at a 46 deg. angle only the exposed tips of the trim will be touching and they will fit tighter.
I use a Starrett 505-7 for figuring odd angles.
Like joecaption said, cope inside corners. You can buy a copeing saw but I found it a little tricky so I just use my scrowl saw and it does the same thing. YouTube how to cope base molding that's how I learned how to do it and it looks great once you get the hang of it.

Well I bought a hand miter...only $8 and I only have about 14 cuts. Hope it works ok
I'll bet after the first few cuts you'll want to throw that thing in the trash.
To sloppy, the blade will flop around, no way to adjust the angle, with a cheap one like that there's not enough set on the blade so it's going to drag instead of cutting.
for mdf base mitre cuts for inside corners are perfectly fine. mdf is a engineered product and much more stable than real wood it doesnt expand and shrink with humidity.
If you have to ask how to cut a miter I would avoid trying a cope. Watch some youtube videos. Be careful of plumbing and pocket doors with your 2" nails, try to hit studs. Get good with a caulking gun ;)
Yeah, power chop saws are cheap enough, buy one. If you plan on doing any form of remodeling/upgrading this will be one of your most valuable tools. Handsaw miter boxes are garbage. The one thing I hate on the internet are DIY blogs from people that have no business giving advice. On "Hipster Chick does Crown Molding" blogspot, here I cut all my crown with a handsaw and look at how great it is. I only used 7 tubes of caulk and I painted it with thickened cows milk, aren't I amazing. Before you cut, nail or paint, read the multitude of credible articles and watch the professionals on YouTube. Now to the OP, what I wrote above was to be funny, but with you not knowing the extreme fundamentals of carpentry, I assume you are doing this on a whim and got a bit ahead of yourself.

Stage 6 QA1 rear shocks-REVIEW
I recently added the Stage 6 QA1 18 way adjustable rear shocks to my WK with Bwoody drop springs. I must say I am VERY suprised! Im not gonna lie.....I was VERY hesitant to believe the claims of what the rear QA1 shocks would do for me. But I believe in Harry@Stage6 and what he says...so I pulled the trigger. $320 later.....a very high quality looking shock arrived at my door step. The housing is a satin chrome with large Stage 6 lettering. Very nicely done IMO. Each shock has a black adjustment knob on the bottom of the shock with a - and + sign. Very easy to read.
Suggested damping adjustments are as follows:
0-6 clicks for drag racing
2-8 clicks for nice ride and handling
8-12 clicks for a firm ride and improved handling
13+ clicks for more aggressive handling
For everyday driving I found a setting of 5 clicks to be the best for me. Very responsive and just a tad stiff in the rear. For aggressive handling...I found a setting of 9 clicks to be good on OK roads or 12 for super smooth roads. I have not tested these at a track...but I suspect 13+ would be good.
For family driving...the best setting is 2 for me and the lowest I have been. The ride is very supple in the rear for an extreme drop spring like my Bwoodys. IMO....its very close to the stock SRt8 Jeep rear setup in feel, ride and handling. My family has thanked me...many times.
The EASE of adjustability is an AWESOME feature of these Stage 6 QA1 rear shocks. Its a simple turn of the knob to the positive or negative...depending on what the owner wants and takes just seconds. I can actually put a towel down to rest my knee on and reach behind my rear wheel and adjust the shocks from there. It is SO easy and ver fast. I love the way the knob clicks to let you know what setting you are going to. Really....a blind guy could adjust these if needed.
Anyway...as you can see...I LOVE my Stage 6 QA1 18 way adjustable rear shocks and I will be the first in line to buy the new front struts when they become available!:thumbsup:
Thanks to Harrison and Stage 6 for bringing these shocks to reality!
Re: Stage 6 QA1 rear shocks-REVIEW
Great write up Scott! I recently had mine installed and still playing around and learning what rides the best.
Re: Stage 6 QA1 rear shocks-REVIEW
be sure to post your opinion Johnny
Re: Stage 6 QA1 rear shocks-REVIEW
thanks Scott. Mine will be here next week so I will be doing a report on my whole DROP that includes these shocks/
Re: Stage 6 QA1 rear shocks-REVIEW
Awesome! Very interested in hearing some results and look forward to some track tests! Not to pricey too, looks like another mod I may throw on the list. Just hope these things last long, never know with a new shock, hard to tell quality until they've really been beaten but Im optimistic! Keep us posted guys.
Re: Stage 6 QA1 rear shocks-REVIEW
I just installed mine yesterday. I set it to 7 and went out from my house where about a mile down the road my jeep would always hit the bump stops right were new pavement was layed down last year.
As I got closer I found myself tensing up and clinching my teeth getting ready for the bone jarring bump.
I am pleased to say the jeep still hit the bump hard but it didn't hit the bump stops.
Worth every penny paid :D Thanks again HB

The Boston Indicators Project offers new ways to understand Boston and its neighborhoods in a regional, national and global context. It aims to democratize access to information, foster informed public discourse, track progress on shared civic goals, and report on change in 10 sectors: Civic Vitality, Cultural Life and the Arts, the Economy, Education, the Environment, Health, Housing, Public Safety, Technology, and Transportation.
Explore the indicators and measures below.
Please note that we are in the process of evaluating the current indicators and measures. As a result, the data on some measures is more robust than others.
Metro Boston ranks 4th among the nation's largest metro's in the percent of adults 25 years or older with a BA or higher at 43%, behind DC, San Jose and San Francisco. However, Boston ranks 1st in the percent of highly educated young workers with 54% of 25-34 year olds holding a BA or Higher. The metro is anchored by Boston's high educational attainment where 62% of 25 to 34 year old hold a BA or higher, topping all other large US cities.
Metro Boston ranked fourth globally in patent filings, accounting for 7.2% of all patents filed in the US and 2.5% of all patents filed worldwide, according to 2008 statistics from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Metro Boston ranked second globally—behind only San Francisco—in biotech patents. According to the Mass Tech Collaborative, the number of patents awarded in Massachusetts rose by 33% between 2009 and 2010 and the state ranked first among all leading technology states in patents issued at 931 per million residents, up from 622 in 2006. The next highest state was New York with 749 patents per million.
R&D: Massachusetts ranked 6th in total funding for Research & Development with nearly $2.5 million and 3rd in per capita R&D funding with $373 per capita as of FY09, the most recent year for which data are available. More than half of the funding, $1.8 million, came from the federal government ranking 3rd in total federal funds. Massachusetts ranked 6th in total funding from industry but only 37th in R&D funding provided by the state.
Venture Capital: As of Q1 2012, the New England Region had the second largest VC investment value in the nation, at $678 million and nearly 12% of the nation's total.

While Boston is well known for a few of its bigger institutions, such as Liberty Mutual or State Street, it is in small business employment that Boston really shines. According to Boston's own Small Business Plan, the city's small businesses make up over 40,000 establishments, generating around $15 billion in revenue and approximately 170,000 jobs. Of these, the simplest definition suggests that over 95% are sole proprietorships with fewer than 50 employees, or on average make under $5 million annually in revenue.
Across the city of Boston, employment and employers are concentrated predominantly in three neighborhoods – Central Boston, Back Bay/Beacon Hill, and South Boston; while the Fenway/Kenmore neighborhood features the fourth-most concentration of jobs in the city, at 19% of the overall employment.
Hotel Market: the Boston/Cambridge area hotel market improved on all key metrics from 2010 to 2011: occupancy increased from to 77% from 76%, the average room rate increased to $199.02 from $193.22 and the revenue per available room (RevPAR) increased to $153.24 from $146.27. Growth is projected to continue through 2012, to a 78% occupancy rate, $216.93 average room are and $169.20 RevPAR.
In 2010 the share of aggregate income held by Boston's top 20% of households increased to 56% in 2010, up from 54% in 2009 and the share held by the top 5% of households remained steady at about 26% of total income earned in Boston in 2010. The bottom 20% of household held just 1.7% of aggregate income in 2010, down from 2.2% in 2009.
In 2010, Boston's per capita income was nearly $34,000 but with stark racial ethnic disparities. The per capita income for white, non-Latino Bostonians was over $45,000 compared to about $29,000 among Asians, $19,000 among African Americans and $15,000 among Latinos. Overall, Boston's per capita income increased by about 11% between 2000 and 2010, when adjusted for inflation.
Similar disparities exist across households where the median household income for white non-Latino Bostonians in 2010 was over $62,000 compared to $38,000 among Asian households, $35,000 among African American households and just over $23,000 among Latino households.
Deep disparities in employment persist along lines of educational attainment in Boston as elsewhere. Averaged between 2006-2010, the unemployment rate for Bostonians between the ages of 25 and 64 without a High School diploma was over 12%. For those with a High School Diploma the unemployment rate was 12%, and for those with some college education 11% were unemployed. By comparison, among Bostonains with a Bachelor's Degree or Higher the unemployment rate was about 4%.
Furthermore, labor force participation increases with educational attainment. Roughly 35% of those without a High School diploma were not in the labor force as well as 25% of those with a High School diploma, 19% of those with some college and 12% of those with a Bachelor's Degree or higher. Working-age adults who are not active in the labor force are not counted in official unemployment rates.
Race/Ethnicity: poverty rates were highest among Boston's Latino population in 2010, at 35.4%, followed by 29.5% of African Americans, 26% of Asians and 16% white, non-Latino Bostonians.
Educational Attainment: poverty is highly correlated with educational attainment—38% of Bostonians without a high school diploma were in poverty in 2010 as were 20% of high school graduates and 18% of those with some college compared to 7% of Bostonians with a BA or higher.
Family Structure: about 10% of Boston's families are single-parent families living at or below poverty and of all families in poverty 87% are headed by a single parent. This correlation cuts across all racial/ethnic lines: 93% of African American families in poverty are headed by as single parent as well as 97% of Latino families, 76% of white families and 58% of Asian families in poverty.
Metro Boston's Consumer Price Index increased by 33% from 2000 to 2011, while the region's average weekly wage actually declined by about 1% when adjusted for inflation through the third quarter of 2011. The growth in costs was driven by and 83% increase in fuel and utility prices, 61% increase in medical care and a 53% increase in the price of other services. Residents of Metro Boston pay the most for medical care, other goods and services and shelter—all higher than the average consumer price index. The price index for medical care in 2011 was more than two times greater than the overall consumer price index.
In Massachusetts, many jobs remain vacant despite a large pool of unemployed workers, suggesting a jobs/skills mismatch. Vacancies as of the second quarter of 2010 (the latest available) showed:
As of 2011, some estimates showed as many as 120,000 unfilled jobs but more than 240,000 unemployed workers in Massachusetts. The most recent data from Massachusetts Department of Labor and Workforce Development showed that in 2010 Q2 37% of open jobs in Massachusetts required a BA or Higher, 8% required an Associates Degree or some certification and 55% of vacant jobs required no minimum education, though this may reflect the high turnover rates in low-skilled jobs.
In Greater Boston, the highest vacancy rates were in Life, Physical & Social Science occupations at 4.1%, Food Prep & Serving Related at 3.9% and Computer & Mathematical occupations at 3.5%. However, the largest number of vacant positions were in Food Prep & Serving Related occupations with 4,844 unfilled jobs and in Office & Administrative Support with 3,985 available positions.
The average cost of tuition and fees at a Massachusetts Community College has remained between 4.7% and 4.9% of median household income between 2005 and 2009. At Boston's two Community Colleges, the cost burden was 4.3% of median income at Bunker Hill Community College and 4.6% of median income at Roxbury Community College. However, Boston's median family income is very high—at $81,569 in FY2009. By contrast, the lowest quintile of households had an income of $13,557. For these families, the average tuition at Bunker Hill and Roxbury Community Colleges would be more than 25% of household income.
A total of 11,136 Associate's Degrees and Certificates were awarded in FY2009, up from 10,299 in FY2005, According to the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education. The number of certificates awarded increased to 2,587 from 2,309 and the number of Associate's Degrees conferred increased to 8,549 from 7,990.
At Bunker Hill the total awards increased to 817 in FY09 from 679 in FY05, with the number of certificates declining to 160 from 174 and the number of associate's increasing to 657 from 505.
At Roxbury Community College, the number of awards declined to 212 in FY09 from 229 in FY05, with the number of certificates declining to 18 from 39 and the number of associates degrees awarded increasing to 194 from 190.
According to the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education, among those entering community college in 2004, after four years 33.6% had graduated, 16% transferred, 20.3% had earned at least 30 credits and 2% were still enrolled. At Bunker Hill, 25% had graduated, 19% transferred, 20% had earned 30 credits and 2.4% were still enrolled. At Roxbury Community College, 22% graduated, 22% transferred, 25% had earned 30 credits and 2% were still enrolled.
In FY12 the Commonwealth's budget was more than $34 billion, a 4% decline since FY09 when adjusted for inflation. Rising unemployment, declining wages and reduced purchasing power associated with the Great Recession have left the Commonwealth—along with every other state—with a budget deficit for the fourth year running of $1.9 billion for FY12 down from $5 billion in 2010. However, the loss of Federal Stimulus Funding in FY11 meant that a larger share of the budget gap had to be filled with program cuts leaving crucial services to low-income residents underfunded, includining:
In FY11, Massachusetts' budget shortfall was 5.7% of its total projected expenditures—which ranked it 5th lowest among all of the states. By comparison, states with the highest deficit-to-expenditure ratio had double-digit shortfalls: Nevada, 45% of total expenditures; New Jersey, 37%; Texas at 30.5%; and California at 29.3%.To close the revenue gap, the Massachusetts Legislature drew down part of the state's Rainy Day Fund foresightedly built up during the good years. However, in FY10, the Legislature voted for a sales tax increase, which was projected to raise $1 billion from FY10 through FY12.
As of FY12, the City of Boston's total budget was balanced with $2.394 billion in revenues and expenses after posting a budget surplus of $5.91 million in FY11 and $9.09 million in FY10. The proposed budget for FY13 is balanced at $2.454 billion, a 2.5% increase over FY12. Overall, expenditures have been rising faster than revenues, having increased by 7% and 6.6% respectively between FY10 to FY13.
Revenue: Growth in revenue has been driven by property tax levy which increased by 14% from $1.475 billion in FY10 to a projected $1.675 billion in FY13, a 40% increase in excise taxes from $103 million in FY10 to a projected $145 million in FY13, and a 27% increase in Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) from $34.9 million in FY10 to $43.5 million in FY13. Over the same time, local aid from the state declined by 6% from $413 million in FY10 to $388 million in FY13.
Expenses: Health care costs comprise 12% of total FY13 expenditures and have contributed the most to the growth of costs over the last decade. From FY01 through FY15, health insurance costs are projected to rise by 135% compared to a 39% increase in all other city costs over the same time. Other high-growth expenditures include: other post-employment benefits by the City of Boston have doubled from $20 million to $40 million between FY10 and FY13; total pension payment increased by 25% from $108 million to $135 million from FY10 to FY13; and total debt service payments increased by 10% from $125.5 million to 137.5 million.
The City of Boston is comprised of 77 different departments organized into 13 mayoral cabinets:
The city of Boston also includes non-Mayoral agencies such as the Boston Housing Authority and the Water & Sewer Commission and Intergovernmental relations with the state and county.
Massachusetts total state and local tax structure—including income, property, gas, excise, sales and other taxes—is regressive, with the poorest 20% paying nearly twice the rate of the wealthiest 5% in Massachusetts. In 2010, the poorest 20% of Massachusetts residents paid nearly 10% of their income in all state and local taxes combined, including the state's income tax, while the wealthiest 1%—with incomes greater than $580,000— paid less than 6%

I've wanted an LC9 for quite sometime. I keep delaying. I think the LC9 would be a great EDC for summer. The Kahr's are very solid and I've never picked one up that did not feel great in my hand. Aren't choices wonderful!
Praise the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle --- Psalm 144
Checked one out at my dealer... looks like a fine piece. I'm 6'2'' so it fit just fine into my pocket of my jeans.
I like the way my LC9 shoots when it is not failing to eject. For that delightful issue, it is off to Arizona for a check up with Ruger. If Ruger can fix the FTE, this gun will join my carry rotation. It was much more pleasant to shoot and more accurate for me than a Kel-Tec PF9 that I tried.
There is a reason so many manufacterers are copying a Kahr PM9. Get the original. If to expensive get Kahrs copy; a CM9.
Registration: A prelude to Confiscation and Anarchy.
Definitely something wrong there. Mine has been flawless with WWB, Wolf, Remington, American, Federal, Corbon, and reloads purchased at my local gun range. Not one FTF or FTE in the 1000 rounds I have through it. This is consistent with what I've read from other owners.I like the way my LC9 shoots when it is not failing to eject.
"It may seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first."
love mine. very accurate. will eat any ammo and goes bang every time. The trigger is long and a little hard, but very manageable. Where the car is silky smooth.
While I hated the trigger on my LC9 and traded it quickly, I will say that I never had any FTE or FTF issues whatsoever. It seemed completely reliable to me. Replaced with a Kahr MK9...
I purchased an Lc9- fired two mags 6 rounds each. The 3rd mag 1st shot click! Same sound the next 11 shots. Loaded 6 of the carts in my 92fs all six fired as advertised! Called Ruger and was advised I need to try a different ammo until I find one that works. Is this a hand gun that can be called on when needed! Other Faq issues have stated that seems that the primer melts and clogs the firing pin chamber-results in soft hits to the following carts. Has anyone else had this issue-any other explanations?
I was considering the Kahr, the LC9, the Kimber Solo and the Sig p290. I eliminated the LC9 because it's bigger than the others. I ended up with the Sig because I love the sights. They're so much easier for my aging eyes to pick up. I also love the 8-round mag that extends the grip for range shooting. But I was impressed with all four guns. Any of them is a good choice depending on your tastes and needs.
I purchased an LC9 when they first became avaiable. I do not think of it as quite a pocket pistol, i.e. for trousers, but I have done so. For slipping in a jacket pocket it is ideal. It also conceals well in a holster. I consider it an excellent self defense pistol, which is very likely to be carried when something larger would be left at home. Seven rounds, accurate and easy to handle.
.357 mag, When you care enough to send the very best!
THis thread reminds me of a pearl of wisdom from Even Marshall over at the Stopping Power forum, "never buy a gun that has not been out in the market for a while". It seems that over the past few years, one gun after another from leading manufacturers who have reputations for producing quality products nevertheless evidence serious issues with new products when they are first introduced. The LC9 is one example, but so are the M&P, the new S&W Enhanced Series 1911, the Kimber Solo, the Kahr PM series, etc.
In the case of the M&P and the Kahr, I think the manufacturers have rectified the problems over time, but all things considered, it reminds me of the software industry where software that is not fully tested is released to paying customers for what amounts to a customer paying to be a beta tester.
As for me, I have been lucky, I bought both my M&P and my PM9 after they had been in the market for a number of years and both run flawlessly, but when it come to guns and cars - both of which my life depends upon - I typically wait a year or two before buying a new model. On the other hand, when it comes to software, I typically upgrade as soon as I can. I've paid the price for this by having to uninstall or roll back to earlier versions of software, but I prefer not to experiment this way with a gun.
My LC9 has been very reliable if I can just get the trigger pull down.
There are some things I don't like about it, just like there is with every pistol I've ever picked up. I could do without the mag disconnect, the loaded chamber indicator is ok but about twice the size it needs to be and the trigger pull is long and pretty heavy.
On the plus side you can carry it all day in the heat and forget its there, which in a carry gun is a pretty important fact. I do shoot it a heck of a lot better than I shoot the LCP. I've decided that little gun is almost a contact weapon in my case.
If mine wasn't feeding or cycling a particular type of ammo I'd call Ruger and politely insist they do something about it because that's not been my experience with the pistol.
One of the fundamental truths of the universe is that there isn't anything that cannot be improved with the addition of pirates, ninjas, strippers, midgets or monkeys.

Well... apparently I won't be getting my TV until tomorrow. Delivery tracking said it would be here today, and since nothing had arrived yet I finally called the delivery company just now and they told me they would have to make an appointment for delivery. And at this point the earliest they can do it is tomorrow.
Wish someone had told me they required an appointment. Waited around pretty much all day for it today.
Got this awesome tv. Received it Tuesday afternoon took about 30 minutes to setup. Picture looks really good the only down side was it was jittery. However, after the overnight firmware update that went away and looks even better. Hope this deal works out for everyone else! FYI only thing that didn't come was two AAA batteries for the remote.
Having lip sync issue with my 70" issue...looked online and saw others having it as well.

New to using Lr. Just bought a MBPR with a little HD. Since I don't want to store my photos on my laptop, I am not sure how to get my mojo going on the workflow. I purchased a WD Passport external HD that I want to use as a dedicated photo storage (as well as being stored in the cloud on Google Drive).Do I....
A. Copy from my memory card to my MBPR (into iphoto--maybe) then copy them from there onto the HD?Then do I delete the photos from iphoto to regain space?
B. Can I copy directly from my card to the external HD?
I really want to get it right from the get-go. Read horror stories about file locating nightmares.
Then I am guessing that I import them into Lr when my External HD is plugged in??
Sorry for the confusion--just can't get my head around the flow thing--any tried and true method- sharing would be much appreciated.Thanks~bj
Apart from the integration with Google Drive, things are very straightforward. Use LR to import from the card directly onto the external drive. Done.
The Google Drive integration is more difficult because, to my knowledge, Google Drive syncs only one folder, if that folder is on the external drive, you would not have access to any content stored in Google Drive without connecting the external drive (you'd still have access through the web interface but that makes things more complicated).

[NCAA] The NCAA's Resource Allocation Working Group is considering wide-ranging cutbacks in college athletics. They include a decrease in the scholarships for
the big-money sports of football and basketball but also sweeping changes to the seasons of all sports. Those that would affect soccer would include ...
1. Elimination of non-championship segment competition -- ie. spring season.
2. A 10 percent reduction in regular-season competition for all sports. (If spring season is eliminated, credit would be given for time lost in the spring.)
3. Elimination of all foreign travel.
A student-athlete survey to ask players their opinions of the recommendations has been circulated through athletic departments.
The group's next teleconference will be Friday.

It says she is being fostered...usually a dog that is available for adoption will have a big star at the top of the page saying "Adopt Me". You could paw-mail her foster parent and ask. Under her main picture, mouse over the icons until you find the one that says Paw-mail.

Foster dogs aren't generally up for adoption until behavior problems are solved or until health problems are cleared, but the fact that she is a foster dog means that she is in the custody of a rescue organization or shelter, and that means she will EVENTUALLY be up for adoption.
If she were up for adoption right now, I assure you, it would be perfectly clear, so that you wouldn't have to ask.
If you wish to contact the foster family, you will have to set up a profile on this site and send them a paw-mail.

2 cops shot
08:06 04/09/2014
It happened about 500m from my house! It was not in the early morning, it was late night. It sounded like a war zone, after a while I thought it was a party with fireworks!! ' there were to many sounds to think it could be gun shots. This morning as we drove to work the road was closed off, and we had to drive a different route. This afternoon driving our usual route we saw all the yellow circles, probably pointing out where empty casings were
