Some types of jobs make comeback in U.S.
Who would have thought that jobs such as metal-refining furnace operators and tenders would be making a comeback in the year 2012?
They are.
Such jobs, done by folks who "operate or tend furnaces to melt and refine metal before casting or to produce specified types of steel," as defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, have increased 16 percent from 2010 to 2012 after declining 16 percent from 2007 to 2009. That's according to a study conducted by CareerBuilder and Economic Modeling Specialists International that tracked U.S. labor trends.
That's not all. Other jobs in manufacturing now seeing a revival include metal pourers and casters. These people "operate hand-controlled mechanisms to pour and regulate the flow of molten metal into molds to produce castings or ingots," according to the bureau.
Also rallying are jobs for computer-controlled machine-tool operators for metal and plastic production and engine and machine assemblers. The resurgence is highest among computer-controlled machine tool operators, which has even more workers now than in 2007.
One thing is clear: These jobs are related to the types of industries tied to energy, production, technology and transportation.
Yes, the country is "predominantly a service economy," wrote Professor Farok J. Contractor of Rutgers Business School in YaleGlobal Online Magazine. "But the nation is still the world's biggest manufacturer," he says, with "unrivaled productivity in terms of manufacturing value-added per employee or per hour worked."
Among the factors cited for the resurgence is that "jobs once offshored are now returning in industries including automobiles and even unlikely areas like furniture and televisions."
Overall, job growth has increased by double digits in the past two years in these industries:
• Internet publishing and broadcasting and Web search portals — a 30 percent growth.
• Drilling of oil and gas wells, up 29 percent.
• Electronic shopping, up 23 percent.
• Crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, up 21 percent.
• Temporary help services, up 21 percent.
• Machine shops, up 18 percent.
• Marketing consulting services, up 13 percent.
• Computer systems design services, up 12 percent.
• Specialized freight, up 11 percent.
• Home health care services, up 10 percent.
I know it's not easy to pick up and move. But if you are wondering where these jobs are, the survey found that the 10 areas with the most job growth are in some surprising places hit hard in the recession, such as Detroit and Phoenix.
The other areas are San Jose, Calif.; Houston; Austin; Salt Lake City; Raleigh; Oklahoma City; Dallas-Fort Worth; and San Francisco.
After a depressingly negative election campaign season in which we were led to believe that the automobile industry was our last vestige of manufacturing and that the rest of our manufacturing had been outsourced to other parts of the world, statistics suggest otherwise.
In fact, they seem to indicate that we indeed are still No. 1 in the world. And that products — and jobs — are still made in America.

As a photographer focused and passionate with a creative approach to documentary style wedding photography, I approach an engagement shoot a little differently than just a standard portrait session. Rather than trying to create a series of posed photographs (not that I think that is wrong), I hope to create an environment that allows the couple to forget about me (even if its only momentary). Usually, we find an urban setting or some location where we can walk and discover interesting backgrounds. The goal is to treat the shoot as if I were following them around on a date. If necessary, I will offer suggestions along the way to cuddle, kiss, embrace, etc, but as time goes on, my clients start to relax and enjoy themselves. I try not to approach a shoot with preconceived ideas. I avoid trying to re-create something that I've done with another couple (but often I am asked can we do a photo like the one we saw on your website). I don't ever come prepared with a list of "standard" poses. For me, a perfect e-session would be completely spontaneous, fresh with new ideas.
If you're a new client of mine and wondering if you should schedule an engagement shoot with me, my answer to you is: YES! I love shooting e-sessions! Not just because I love every opportunity I get to photograph people in love…Sure, I admit it. I am addicted to love and I am addicted to finding unique and real moments, brought to life by the unique personalities of each of my couples. What can I say: I am an artist and my camera is my paint brush! There is so much good that results from the photo shoot, let me count the ways:
1) It gives me a chance to get to know you and for you to get a chance to know me and see me in action. It's like a dress rehearsal before the wedding! I have found that this is so helpful. Especially if your groom had zero participation in choosing me as your photographer. He might have looked at my website and that's about it. The e-session will be an eye opener for him! And this will pay big dividends come wedding day. For those who are seeing me in action for the first time, there is always a twenty to thirty minute period of getting use to having a camera follow them around. The opposite is true for my e-session clients. On the wedding day, they are much more relaxed. They seem better prepared, find it easy to tune me out and enjoy themselves. This allows me to capture the natural, documentary style moments that I thrive on.
2) It is energizing and fun! I will make you feel like Rock stars! The shoot is all about you, your relationship, your dreams, your hopes, your lives! I give you my very, very best to find great moments that encapsulate your love for each other. I can guarantee you that if you let loose on this shoot, we will see fireworks!
3) You will get so many great images from the shoot, you will be overwhelmed and so will your family and friends! I love to make slideshows from the 90 minute shoot and set it to music. I promise you, you will shed tears!
4] We can use those images in a variety of ways, not to mention, creating great canvass art to put on display in your home. My clients have had us make custom guest signing books filled with their e-session images, place a favorite image in a frame with an extra large matte for their guests to sign, and had us make a DVD slideshow of the images to display during dinner at the reception.
5) The e-session will help your family and friends to understand and appreciate my style of photography before the wedding day. Why is that important? First of all, I am certain that my style is nothing like the photographer your parents had at their wedding! You would be surprised how often I show up at at wedding and the bridal party or the parents are clueless about my approach to photographing the event. For whatever reasons, these VIP's are the last to know and are often shocked that I am not directing and posing people along the way. When they see the results from the engagement shoot slideshow that we put online months or even a year before the wedding, they become educated and ready come wedding day.
6) Lastly, there is a trust factor that develops from doing an e-session because we invested time together preparing for it, spent time together shooting it and hanging out with each other apart from the wedding day. As a result, the shoot gives us an opportunity to become friends before the wedding day. It might seem trivial, but having a friendship in advance helps us both to feel at ease on the wedding day. It could be the difference in making your wedding day photos from great to being a masterpiece.
Below are samples of one of my favorite E-sessions last fall in downtown Royal Oak, MI of a super terrific couple, Rose & Sam. Also, you can check out their slideshow by clicking here.

June 21, 2005 - Perhaps this is a slow news time. After all, with just a war in Iraq, Social Security reform and historic fights on Capitol Hill, its no wonder that the news media--and by extension the rest of us--have been following the spring romance of superstar Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, which culminated last week in an Eiffel Tower engagement. Either this is one of the great Hollywood publicity stunts or its a Hollywood romance. Regardless, we have a few words of advice to the blushing bride-to-be.
Given Toms station in life, we figured that he has plenty of advisors, but before Miss Holmes walks down the aisle, lets get down to some pre-marital financial advice. Considering his massive wealth, we assume that Mr. Cruise will ask for a pre-nuptial agreement. While he may seem to be a happy-go-lucky fella in love, this will be the third marriage for Cruise, who previous marriages to actresses Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman ended in divorce. He therefore may take a more practical view of sharing his financial world with Katie.
Here is where a good lawyer will come in handy for Miss Katie. She needs representation to negotiate exactly what she may claim should the union not work out as planned. Yes, we know that this is not the most romantic aspect of the story, but who amongst us has not worried a bit for the former Dawson's Creek star who grew up with a poster of Cruise on her wall and always fantasized about marrying him? Some have said that Nicole Kidmans marriage to Tom helped propel her career, Katie could end up like Mrs. Cruise #1, Mimi Rogersanyone remember the last movie or TV show she was in? (Hint: it was not the 2000 flop, "The Geena Davis Show.")
The good news is that both of these stars do have pretty good jobs---Holmes stars in the recently opened mega-summer flick, Batman Begins and Cruise's War of the Worlds will be released on July 29---but if Katie gives up her lucrative career to take care of the household and raise a second family for Tom and then he gives her the heave-ho for another Scientology-loving budding super star, things could get messythey always do. (Note to Katie: while studying up on Scientology, perhaps you could find out L. Ron Hubbards take on community property.)
OK, joking aside, when entering into second or third marriages with people who have kids from previous marriages and vastly unequal financial resources, it is important for both people to plan ahead. No, it is not romantic, but it may make the potential break-up far less ugly.

Operator: Good day everyone, and welcome to today's Oracle Corporation Quarterly Conference Call. Today's conference is being recorded. At this time, I'd like to introduce Ken Bond, Vice President of Investor Relations for Oracle. Please go ahead sir.
Ken Bond - VP, IR: Thank you Ruthy. Good afternoon everyone, and welcome to Oracle's first quarter fiscal year 2011 earnings conference call. With us on the call today, our Chief Executive Officer, Larry Ellison; President, Safra Catz; President, Mark Hurd; and Chief Financial Officer, Jeff Epstein.
As a reminder, today's discussion will include forward-looking statements including predictions, expectations, estimates, or other information that might be considered forward-looking. While these forward-looking statements represent our current judgment on what the future holds, these statements are also subject to the risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from statements being made today. Throughout today's discussion, we will attempt to present some important factors relating to our business, which may potentially affect these forward-looking statements.
We encourage you to review our most recent reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q, any applicable amendments for a complete discussion of these factors, and other risks that may affect our future results or the market price of our stock. As a result, we caution you against placing undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our opinion only as of today, and as a reminder, we are not obligating ourselves to revise or publicly release any revisions of these forward-looking statements in light of new information or future events.
A copy of the press release and financial tables, which includes a GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation and other supplemental financial information, can be viewed and downloaded from our Investor Relations website. We will begin the call with a few prepared remarks before taking questions from the audience.
With that, I'd like to turn the call over to Jeff for his opening remarks.
Jeff Epstein - EVP and CFO: Thank you, Ken, and welcome, Mark. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us. I will review our non-GAAP financial results, focusing on U.S. dollar growth rates unless otherwise stated. This quarter, foreign exchange rates weren't much of a factor in our overall results compared to our guidance of a negative 2% currency effect to new license revenue, and a negative 3% currency effect to total revenue.
We beat the high end of our guidance range for new license revenue, total revenue and earnings per share with a record earnings per share for the first quarter. On a constant dollar basis, we also beat our guidance ranges for new license revenue, total revenue and earnings per share. In short, Q1 was an excellent quarter for Oracle.
In the first quarter, new license revenues were $1.3 billion, up 25%. The Americas grew 33%; EMEA was up 12% and Asia was up 26%. With each region up double-digits on a constant dollar basis as well, our results continue to underscore the strength and diversity of our business and the quarter was not dependent on any unusually large deals.

Comment Number: EC -119
Accepted - Volume 2
Comment Record
Mr. Ian Rossman
2002-06-05 21:53:03
Mr. Ian Rossman
Comments for FDA General
1. Are there arguments for regulating speech about drugs more comprehensively than, for example, about dietary supplements? What must an administrative record contain to sustain such a position? In particular, could FDA sustain a position that certain promotional speech about drugs is inherently misleading, unless it complies with FDA requirements? Does anything turn on whether the speech is made to learned intermediaries or to consumers? What is the evidentiary basis of such a distinction?
Both the public and the health care professionals that serve the public have the right to know the benefits and risks associated with pharmaceuticals. The FDA is the governing body that safeguards this right, and altering FDA guidelines in any way, under the guise of First Amendment rights, would undermine this organization's authority. Statements about pharmeceuticals must be based on facts obtained by clinical trials published in peer-reviewed journals. Without these checks and balances there would be more flagrant, and dangerous, misuse of pharmaceuticals that could ultimately lead to unnecessary health risks monetary losses at the consumer level.

FLORENCE, S.C. – Francis Marion University has established a student exchange program with the University of Caen in Normandy, France.
The first exchange is slated during the 2004-05 academic year, with FMU sending two students per semester to France. The University of Caen will send two students to Francis Marion per semester, or one student for a full academic year.
FMU French professor Liz Zahnd, who has worked for years to establish such a program, is thrilled that it has finally come to fruition. "This is something FMU needs," she said. "It is an opportunity not only for our students to improve their French, but to expand their horizons culturally."
Zahnd and four FMU students visited Caen for three weeks this summer, where the students earned six hours of foreign-language credit.
FMU senior Aubrey Phillips described her stay in Caen as "simply amazing." "The University of Caen was very welcoming with the exchange students and made our stay as comfortable as possible," she said.
"The city was absolutely gorgeous!" said senior Stephen Coates. "How often do you get to walk from your university to the market and pass by a real castle?"
Zahnd said the ideal candidate for the exchange program is a junior or senior student with at least one year of college-level French, but sophomores will be considered. The University of Caen has a separate language school on campus for students from abroad. "They have all kinds of options for whatever your level is," Zahnd said.
Students who travel to Caen will live in the dorms on campus and pay regular FMU tuition and fees.
Zahnd said several factors were considered in finding a suitable school for the exchange program: location, campus life, programs, housing, people and the city itself. "Caen fit all of the criteria," she said.
Despite the recent political disagreements between France and the United States concerning the situation in Iraq, Zahnd said, the French are very hospitable. "I think they were even more welcoming because of that. Most French these days go out of their way to be friendly and receptive to Americans."
France has a strong business connection with the Palmetto State. Forty-six French companies employ nearly 14,500 South Carolina workers, according to the S.C. Department of Commerce. In 2002, France invested $85 million in South Carolina, creating 147 new jobs. The state of South Carolina is second only to Hawaii in the percentage of its citizens who work for internationally owned companies, and exchange programs make FMU students more marketable to potential employers, Zahnd said.
The French exchange program brings to eight the number of international exchange programs at FMU. The university also has programs with International University in Cuernavaca, Mexico; Christchurch College of Education in Christchurch, New Zealand; University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia; De Montfort University in Leicester, England; and Fachhochschule Schmalkalden, Fachhochschule Ludwigshafen, and University of Trier in Germany.
