Each session has time devoted to meditation, self-awareness, and consciousness. While strengthening your body, you will be balancing your mind simultaneously.
Previous to becoming a full time Yoga teacher, she has been working for years in business management, but her quest to find the inner balance and her interest in mind, body and healthy life style had led her to path of seeking teachings of yoga & Ayurveda and over the years she has spent time in Ashrams in India, where she was thought by knowledgable Indian Yoga teachers; not only on Asana's, but as well the Vedic philosophy, meditation and Ayurveda.
The desire of changing her professional life style got stronger and ripened and resulted in pursuit of becoming yoga teacher, and what it was ones a hobby, it became 8 years ago, not only a profession, but a lifestyle.
Over the last years Mojca resides and teaches not only in Amsterdam, Holland, but as well in Korcula Island, Croatia. She is also a founder and owner of "Joy of the Mediterranean", health company which runs Yoga Wellness Weekends and Yoga retreats in Korcula.
Joy of the Mediterranean Retreats concentrate on detoxing and balancing body and mind, with huge emphasis on healthy nutrition and healthy life style.
It was really an outstanding experience, a perfect program, and organisation and Mojca and the team were a wonderful company!
We enjoyed Yoga at the beach, boat trip, the quiet hikes in the beautiful surroundings, all the information about the island and the wild herbs, the unbelievable tasty food and a really perfect massage.
We laughed a lot during the retreat, had good talks - all in all recommendable!
We would always chose again for this experience and these beautiful people. Thanks a lot! It was magic...;-)
What a great experience!
Let's take things one by one.The first contact was by email, with Medeja who was so helpful giving me all details I needed for the trip and for organization.Then Mojca entered the scene asking me questions so as to be able to know me a bit regarding my yoga practice, food preferences and so on.
The color was already given: a personalized service given by people loving what they do!
When I arrived in the lovely island of Korcula I was immediately in love with the place and warmly welcomed by Mojca.
My room was 20 seconds away from a nice spot to swim, a real dream.
Yoga classes were excellent, given in different lovely spots. Having them in a small group was a very special experience. She could give what we needed to feel good and to improve according to "where we are at that moment".
And on top of that, all the extras were of top quality and total pleasure for me: the long and beautiful massage I will never forget, the boat trip, the walking starting from the house, the discovery of the olive grove and the dinner at the farm.
Everything optional (would be a shame to miss it, but you have the choice, it's all about you).
Of course, Dan is not to be forgotten. Our cook was preparing us our morning juice and our meals with so much care, creativity, and love.
My final word is to say thank you to all the team and participants: it was a privilege to spend those few days with you
The Joy of the Mediterranean yoga course is the perfect mix of strengthening postures, meditation, and relaxation.
Our teacher, Mojca, the course's founder, was very attentive to the needs of everyone in the group and was very good at providing guidance and explanation as well as encouragement to explore your personal boundaries whatever your standard.
There is really nothing better than unfolding your mat every morning to the stunning backdrop of sea and mountains in Korcula; the surroundings are second to none.
The accommodation was a good distance away from the bustling Korcula town and more conducive to relaxing and swimming at a safe distance from the big boats.
The food was absolutely excellent: from the freshly cooked vegetarian meals provided at home every day to the, local "agro-tourism " trip to a local farm restaurant, and the home-cooked dinner at the house of local herb lady, who owns the wonderful ecological farm we visited - all of the food served during the retreat was an absolute highlight.
The boat trip excursion was also great and shouldn't be missed!
I would absolutely recommend Joy of the Mediterranean to all yogis, whatever your standard. I came home feeling relaxed and rejuvenated and I can't wait to go back!
The accommodation is located in a renovated old stone house on the outskirts of medieval Korcula town, at the sea front, overlooking the blue Mediterranean Sea.
Each room has a bathroom. There is also a large living room and a terrace with a view, for all the participants to enjoy.

Following disclosure of a vast U.S. program that spies on hundreds of millions of calls by its own citizens, Tea Party activists urged caution before voters turn on the government via any partially informed grassroot movements.
Last week, Tea Party leaders gave tearful, alarmist testimony during Congressional hearings investigating the IRS. They warned of an out-of-control Big Brother entity poised to destroy American liberty. But this week, Tea Party leaders saw no connection between their hassles applying for tax-exempt status and the NSA's unilateral surveillance of most Americans.
"Apples and oranges," said Becky Gerritson, the president of the Wetumpka, Ala. Tea Party. "Last week, I cried about partisan efforts to target my group and help Obama. The IRS also forced us to fill out a lot of annoying paperwork. But the NSA program is completely non-partisan, seems pretty paperless from our end, and is hurting Obama. So I'm a big fan."
Other critics of the NSA program questioned how the agency could successfully comb through such a huge amount of data to flag terror threats. Especially as even the Boston Marathon bombers slipped through the cracks despite being flagged by the Russian government for investigation.
An NSA spokesperson disputed this. He spoke on condition of anonymity to protect his privacy. He also said too many of his ex-girlfriends regularly Google news stories about him and post snarky comments about his being a creepy-clingy, jealous, control freak.
"Admittedly this program is impossible to administer were American Idol still at peak popularity, but ever since Keith Urban became the most popular judge by default, everyone in our server room sleeps like lambs," he said.
He noted the program is able to filter out a large amount of calls that aren't worth monitoring. These include:
- All customer complaints to cable companies;
- Any calls from the 62,000 marketing companies responsible for creation of the national Do Not Call List;
- All calls to or from Fortune 500 companies, who of course pose absolutely no threat to the American Way of Life; and
- The 22 calls and 64 texts per day from Mildred Sikorsky of Schenectady, N.Y., to her college freshman son Oscar.
Full disclosure: Some phone numbers on the NSA surveillance list were submitted by news outlets. For instance, The FluffingtonPost requested adding 76-year-old Gladys Herringstalk, who continues to argumentatively call our Letters-to-the-Editor editor (instead of just sending him a letter like the rest of our readers).
SkitSketchJeff is Jeff Burdick, who was recently dropped as a "person of interest" when found to be agonizingly, painfully boring.

Jonathan Stark gave Tulane's flagging season a jolt of energy with one of the best buzzer-beating shots in school history against Cincinnati. The next challenge for the Green Wave is channeling that magical moment into a strong stretch run.
When Tulane (14-10, 5-7 American Athletic Conference) faces Central Florida (11-13, 4-9) on Thursday night at Devlin Fieldhouse, Stark and his teammates can't be too caught up in what happened Sunday to focus on the Knights. After ending a five-game losing streak and snapping Cincinnati's seven-game conference home win streak at the same time, the Green Wave has a chance to finish significantly higher in the conference standings than the coaches' preseason prediction of last place.
Tulane is in seventh place out of 11, and three of its remaining six games are against the AAC's bottom three teams.
"It gives us a lot of confidence and keeps us going," Stark said. "We just have to stay focused and practice hard every day, and we can get it done."
First, a recap is in order. Tulane, which led most of the way against Cincinnati, appeared headed for another frustrating loss when the Bearcats' Gary Clark sank a short shot in the lane with 4.7 seconds left to break a tie at 47.
Instead, Tulane's Louis Dabney quickly inbounded to Stark, who almost lost control of the ball on his first dribble. Stark had time to gather it when Cincinnati's Farad Cobb backed off, then raced up the court after changing direction to avoid big man Octavius Ellis.
After his fifth dribble, he went up about 30 feet from the goal and double-clutched as Cobb contested it from the side and Cincinnati's Troy Caupain jumped straight up in front of him.
The ball came out of Stark's hand with three-tenths of a second left.
Swish. Game over. Tulane 50, Cincinnati 49.
Stark stood still with one arm raised over his head before his teammates mobbed him on the court.
"It looked good when it left my hand, but I was kind of shocked myself, actually," Stark said. "The emotions really didn't come to me at once."
Playing the top six teams in the AAC consecutively, Tulane had lost its first five. That made the celebration feel even sweeter when the Wave finally beat an NCAA tournament-caliber team.
The players did not need to wait for an official review that confirmed Stark released the ball before time ran out.
"We played so good in that game and so hard," Dabney said. "Our shooting percentage for the whole team, and me as well, wasn't that good, but it was a great team win."
Coach Ed Conroy liked everything about the execution on the final play and felt it carried over from the way Tulane played all day, when the Green Wave led 19-13 at the half. As is his custom, he elected not to call a timeout after the Bearcats' basket.
"We always are showing game situations not only of our own games but of the other teams," he said. "You have to have conviction, and with over four seconds left on the clock, we feel like it's best not to call time. We're going to get it and go. Sometimes the results don't go your way, but we're going to stick with what we believe in. It's tough to get a better shot than that if you let the defense set up."
The Wave hopes the game-winner ended more than a losing streak and will help it emerge from a prolonged shooting slump. Since being named AAC Player of the Week for his torrid stretch in Tulane's first two conference games, Stark was 29-of-112 from the floor (25.9 percent) until his buzzer beater. "I wanted to make the shot a lot," he said. "I had missed a few shots in key possessions, but I just kept my confidence and kept rolling."
Dabney, Tulane's leading scorer, is 14-for-59 (23.7 percent) in the past five games.
Those miserable numbers should start changing against Central Florida, , which is last in the league in field-goal percentage defense and beat Tulane 103-100 in triple overtime last month in Orlando, Florida.
"It was great to beat a team like Cincinnati, as good as they are, and just to see that all the stuff we worked on in practice come into effect," Dabney said. "We've grinded and grinded. I'm looking forward to no overtimes and us coming out on top this time. We have to settle this one."

3 Reasons Why to Read the Bible
Reading the Bible can be a daunting task - particularly if you've ever noticed how big a book it is, with at least 3-4 columns of text per page. Add to that the thee's and thou's, extensive lists of family names and supplies, and specific instructions for sacrificing animals, and...well, you can easily become frustrated and decide that you don't really need to read the entire book. After all, you can get the highlights of the individual books of the Bible or certain themes by just browsing online or listening to sermons.
But here's the thing - if you go to church (even some of the time), or consider yourself Christian (whether or not you decide to attend a church), you owe it to yourself to be familiar with the Good book. Why? Because if you want to really understand what the whole institution of church is all about, and who God is, the Bible is the only complete authority. Everything else is just bits and pieces, with personal opinions thrown in. And since people all think differently, you run into the danger of believing one person's views, rather than reading for yourself and gaining your own knowledge. It's that knowledge that determines the kind of faith you'll eventually develop.
Reading the Bible: Getting Past the Obstacles
Children have it easy when it comes to the Bible. There are so many children's versions of the Bible - from specific story books covering one event at a time, to a series of children's bible volumes with ample amounts of pictures and easy-flowing language that anyone can follow. For that reason, it is best that if you are unfamiliar with the Bible, or find it hard to concentrate on the unabridged version, a children's Bible is a great way to start. Once you have gotten down the basics of the major story-lines, you can start to make sense of everything.
If you are way past all of that, consider yourself an avid reader, or have read through parts of the Bible (but not in its entirety), it's time to delve into the whole book. Here's why:
- Daily reading instills a habit. If you read for at least 5-15 minutes a day, you can stay plugged in to God a lot better than just trying to reach out in prayer only when you need something from Him. You will also help combat boredom - because before you know it, you've completed your daily reading! You may even find yourself eventually reading more scripture at a time. If you are a goal-setter, print off a Bible Reading Plan to help keep you motivated.
- You develop a more peaceful and contemplative attitude. By exposing yourself to the Bible on a regular basis, you will start to think differently. In a way, it works like an exercise routine. Only in this case, you are conditioning your mind, rather than your physical body. The worries of your life, the pressures from your schedule, the frustrations of your relationships - all these things can melt away as you focus on God. If you've ever found it hard to pray, you'll find that the daily reading will evoke emotions within you that will get you praying like never before! Skeptical? Try keeping a journal and pen with you while you read... soon you will find yourself jotting down notes, your thoughts, and eventually your prayers.
- You will learn about the Bible. Sounds simple enough, but not many people take the challenge of really trying to analyze every story of the Bible and what it all means. When you have it segmented into what will fit into your attention-span, you can concentrate on what you are reading more fully. And there's something about reading the Bible that you'll notice from one year to the next - you will always read it and glean something new every time. It may be something that speaks to you about a situation in your life, or a deeper understanding of one of God's characteristics. Either way, you will feel blessed.

Question On Indydebi's Buttercream
Decorating By bt0905 Updated 10 Jul 2009 , 1:07am by JanH
I am making IndyDebi's buttercream and I was wondering if you can use water instead of milk. I can't use milk due to allergies. Also, if you use milk, do you have to refridgerate the cake?
I made Indydebs recipe for a wedding last weekend and used water (discovered that I didn't have milk in the house). It turned out beautifully and was a dream to work with.
Yes you can use water and no you don't have to refrigerate if you use milk.

"She's All That Matters"
Now Briar made himself look at the mute. He had killed the man, after all; he owed it to him to face his work. There was little of the mute to see. The thorns and vines had covered him completely, gouging him in a thousand places and sprouting through his flesh, holding him in a massive, woody, bloodstained sheath. Briar nodded to his creation, his mouth trembling.
It was him or me, he thought, turning away. I knew he could kill, and he was going for me.
Evvy, he told himself. She's all that matters. (excerpt from "Street Magic". I didn't write it!!)
Briar Moss stirred in his blanket as he heard his teacher's wake up call coming through the tent flap.
"Get your lazy bottom out of bed this instant boy!" Briar groaned and rolled over.
"Two more minutes...." He murmured. Rosethorn, hearing this, thrust her head through the tent's opening.
she yelled. Briar jumped at the sound at the sound of her voice.
Quickly rolling off of his cot he started to get dressed.
"I'm up, I'm up!" he shouted back. Pulling on his right shoe, Briar muttered, "Seems to get more crotchety each day...."
"I heard that," Rosethorn growled outside. "Just for that charming comment, you have breakfast cleanup duty." Briar gritted his teeth and violently pulled on his left shoe.
Once Briar had finished dressing, he stalked outside to find Evvy crouched near the fire watching a pot boil. Her head was rested on her palms in a sulky scowl.
"She's only grumpy because of me," she said glumly, still gazing at the pot.
"Now why would that be?" Briar asked.
"Well, Rosethorn's been teaching me how to cook, but I keep getting the stupid measurements wrong," Evvy said, this time turning to look at him. Briar planted himself on the spot next to her. Glancing in her direction, he spotted a smudge of white powder on Evvy's nose.
Flour, he thought, grinning. No matter where she goes, she gets dirty. He reached his hand out to brush it away. Seeing her questioning expression, he replied, "... flour on your face."
"You know, I could get that stuff off by myself," Evvy declared defiantly. She swatted Briar's hand away and tried to rub it off using her palm. After several fruitless attempts, Briar lost patience.
"Oh, stop fussing." He grabbed her wrist as she attempted to try again. "Just let me do it." Briar carefully brushed the spot away with his fingertips.
"Still coulda done that on my own," Evvy muttered under her breath. Standing up, she stated, "I'm gonna go wash up," she glared at Briar, "unless you think that I can't do that by myself either."
"You do tend to miss that spot around your ears though," he said thoughtfully. Evvy sniffed indignantly and stuck out her tongue. Briar only chuckled. At hearing his amusement, Evvy rolled her eyes and stalked off.
Briar grinned after her and stared at the fire as Evvy had before.
...massive, woody, bloodstained sheath...
He frowned. What could this mean? Sure he had dreamed about the strangled corpses rotting in Lady Zenadia's garden from time to time, but never about the mute he had killed. "Strange," Briar whispered aloud.
"Now, I plan on reaching Summersea by tomorrow, so we best start cleaning things up." Rosethorn emphasized this by dropping a pack at Briar's feet. "Clean the pots in the stream and pack them in here."
"Sure," he said solemnly, slinging the dropped pack over one shoulder.
"You're sure acting quiet..." Rosethorn remarked with an arched eyebrow.
Briar replied, "Eh, just tired I guess," and went off into the forest in the direction of the stream. She let him go, knowing that her student obviously didn't want to discuss whatever was bothering him at that time.
"I'll get it out of him later." Rosethorn said matter-of-factly. She turned and walked toward her tent to ready her things.
It just doesn't make sense, Briar thought, pausing every now and then along the path to stroke an attention-seeking plant. I guess there's no point in worrying about it now. Whatever it wants to make clear for me, I'll know soon enough. In spite of his thoughts, however, he could not stop thinking about the mysterious dreams until he got to the stream. Once Briar got there, he set the pots he was preparing to clean on the bank. Suddenly, he felt the unmistakable presence of someone behind him. The sneaker was just a few steps behind him now; Briar felt his knives slide along his palms. Whoever had snuck up on him would be sorry. He whirled around, wrist knives ready in his hands.
"GAH!!" Evvy yelped, dropping a basket full of clothing. Once she recovered from the initial shock, she pointed at the daggers in Briar's hands. "What are those for?!" she exclaimed, her eyes wide under her recently washed hair. "What's the big idea, pulling those things on me?!" she said, forgetting about the scattered laundry. Briar blinked, and then sighed.
"Sorry Evvy," he said, his voice low. "You just spooked me, that's all." He stooped to pick up the clothing Evvy had let fall in her scare. She stared at him.
Whoa, Evvy thought. He's being so...so...weird. He didn't even say anything about sneaking up on him or anything. She frowned. He's not acting right, she decided. Crouching, Evvy put a hand on Briar's forehead. "Are you sick?" Evvy inquired.
"Hm?" Briar grunted, not paying attention.
Evvy sat on her knees. "Well you're just being so, so..." she paused, trying to think of the right word. "...reasonable."
Briar's head snapped up. "Reasonable?! Since when am I not reasonable?!"
"Like now." Evvy replied coolly, looking at him under her lowered eyelids. "Hmm. Guess I'm wrong, you're acting just fine now." She turned to the laundry, "Unless you wanna say something else...?"
Briar scowled. I hate it when she does that. He, too, turned to his chore. Impudent brat.
As they set about doing their tasks, Evvy asked, trying to stir conversation, "So, why were you acting so...not yourself?"
"Eh, Evvy, I don't want to talk about it," Briar said. He kept his back turned, busy scraping off a bit of petrified food from a pan. Evvy furrowed her brow and bit the inside of her cheek to stop her aggravated reply. Instead, she took her anger out on the laundry she now washed.
Fine, she thought, violently scrubbing a pair of leggings with her hands. That's just fine. Be that way. Don't tell Evvy whatever you're hiding, after all, she's only trying to be helpful. She wrung the cloth extremely tight, having pleasure in imaging it as Briar's neck.
She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice Briar staring at her. Evvy jumped when he finally said, "Uh, Evvy? Is something wrong? You've been squeezing those things for ten minutes now." Evvy dropped the clothing and turned to face him, hands on her hips.
"I don't wanna talk about it. How about that?" she declared, trying her best to imitate her teacher. When he didn't say anything, she prepared to get back to work by reaching for the throttled leggings. She'd almost grabbed it when she realized Briar had said something. "What?" she asked.
"You're really that worried?" he questioned.
"Who said I was worried about you?" Evvy shot back. She then mentally punched herself for saying those last two words.
"Indeed. Who did?" he smirked. Now it was Evvy's turn to scowl. Ha, Briar thought, Got her back. "Well, if you really want to know, I've just been...nervous."
Nervous? Evvy's eyebrows snapped together. Nervous? Pahan Briar...nervous?
Briar sat on the bank, leaning backward on his hands. "One reason I've been quiet today is because I'm anxious about tomorrow." He rotated his head toward Evvy and asked, "You do know we're meeting Duke Vedris, right?"
"Yeah, I can't wait!" Evvy cried, starting to bounce. At seeing her reaction, Briar's grin spread.
"Yep. Glad you're thrilled. Anyway, I was thinking about Sandry-"
"Ooh. The noble girl you've been telling me about?" Evvy interrupted. Her eyes started to glitter with excitement. She had heard loads of stories from Briar about the kind and brave Lady Sandrilene fa Toren. At first, Evvy had been reluctant to believe the tales, devoutly believing that nobles could not be trusted. But when Rosethorn, whose compliments where almost as rare as diamonds, had spoken well of Lady Sandry, it occurred to Evvy that Briar was indeed telling the truth and not some exaggerated tale.
"The very same. Me and the girls were like family back when we all lived in Discipline. We shared just about everything, even sometimes, our minds. I've been worried lately. It's just that, now that we've been away from each other for so long and the fact that we've all been through new experiences," Briar tugged Evvy's nose, indicating his experience with teaching. Before she could fight back, he continued, "I think we may have grown too far apart to ever go back to that close friendship." Briar sighed and looked up into the cloudy sky. "I mean what if she turned into a snooty good-for-nothing Bag girl while I was gone?" He turned to look back at Evvy. Despite the smile he wearing, she could detect the sadness in his eyes. Evvy knew the best thing to do in this situation was to comfort the sad person, but living alone or with people who didn't usually need comforting throughout her life had made her very inexperienced in the matter.
"Um," she began awkwardly. "Look, Pahan Briar," Evvy started. "Lady Sandry has been a noble all her life, right?" she inquired. Briar nodded. She went on very quickly, "And you met here when she was like ten or eleven and she was nice then and she coulda turned nasty any time before that but she didn't so what difference would it make now since you've been gone only a couple of years?" Evvy stopped and caught her breath. Briar raised his eyebrows in both surprise and confusion. At seeing his bewildered expression, Evvy remarked sullenly, "I never was any good at this kinda thing." She drooped her head. She started to get up, but an arm stopped her. Briar had slid an arm around her shoulders to prevent her from moving.
"Please keep going, I think you were onto something there," he said encouragingly, a kind smile lighting up his face.
Evvy, not sure what to think, stuttered, "Eh? Oh, uh....ok," she sat back down on the flat river rocks. She touched one of the cold, smooth stones underneath her palm to calm herself and regain her train of thought and scratched her head. "Well, uh, what I was trying to say was Lady Sandry lived a long time as a noble, even before you met her, without becoming a snotty brat face, so, I was thinking, what would a few years do to her?" Evvy said, hoping that was the right thing to say.
"You know, that is true," he said. He was starting to feel a lot better about the situation.
Evvy brightened when she heard his response and said, "And, from what you've told me of Lady Sandry, she don't seem like the kinda person who would do something like that."
"I think you're right, Evvy," Briar announced. "I shouldn't worry." He smiled down at Evvy, and she grinned back. "You know what? Talking to you is almost as good as talking to Sandry herself."
"Really?!" she exclaimed. Her eyes started sparkling again.
"Really," Briar answered, ruffling her hair.
Evvy hit his hand and glared. "I hate it when you do that."
"I know you do," his kind smile turning wry.
"Whatever." Evvy said, and with that they set back to doing their set tasks, Briar, conveniently forgetting to tell her about what else was bothering him.
Little did they know of the figure standing in the trees a few feet behind them. Rosethorn stood, hands crossed over her chest, watching them from the shadows of an oak.
"Hmph," she grunted. "He won't tell me, but he'll tell the skinny brat. Oh well, I'll give him hell later." She turned and walked away. In spite of her harsh talk, Rosethorn fought to keep a smile from creeping onto her face.

Administrators of retirement plans are classified as compensation and benefits managers. They work to ensure that employee pay and benefits packages, including 401(k) plans and other retirement benefits, are competitive and in accordance with state and federal laws. This high-paying position usually requires a bachelor's or master's degree in finance or business administration.
Average Salary and Range
As of 2012, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that compensation and benefits managers earned an average salary of $105,920 per year -- the equivalent of earning about $50.92 an hour. Half of all compensation and benefits managers in the United States reportedly earned salaries ranging from $71,000 to $130,200 per year. The lowest-paid 10 percent made $54,060 or less per year, while the highest-paid 10 percent brought home $172,450 or more per year.
Private Companies Pay More
Private companies tend to pay compensation and benefits managers higher wages than they make in the public sector, although average salaries vary considerably by industry. The very highest average pay, $148,130, was earned by those who oversaw the benefits packages at electronic markets and brokers. Those who oversaw benefit packages in the oil and gas extraction industry earned the second-highest average pay, $145,550 per year. Compensation and benefits managers at insurance carriers earned an average of $117,740 per year, and those at hospitals averaged $106,960 per year. By comparison, those employed by local government agencies earned an average of $87,740 per year, while those working for state government agencies averaged $81,100.
Northeast Leads in Salaries
On average, compensation and benefits managers working in the Northeast reported the highest average salaries. The four highest-paying states were all located in the Northeast: New York, where benefits managers averaged $133,850; New Jersey, at $133,760; Rhode Island, at $122,190; and Massachusetts, at $119,480. Compensation and benefits managers working in Texas, ranked fifth, earning an average of $119,250 per year. The lowest pay was concentrated in the Southeast, with Mississippi reporting the very lowest average pay in the country, $68,050 per year.
Job Outlook
The number of Americans receiving retirement and other benefit packages through their employers is expected to expand between 2010 and 2020. However, compensation and benefits managers are expected to experience very slow job growth, primarily because businesses frequently hire outside human resources firms to manage their benefits packages. While the American economy is expected to add jobs at a rate of 14 percent between 2010 and 2020, jobs for benefits managers are only expected to increase by 3 percent. So, competition for these jobs is expected to be very strong.

Instead of the usual crisp "click" that we have all come to know and love from our Apple portables, they are instead greeted by a laggardly squish. These are not the first Apple notebooks to have trackpad issues; my rev D PowerBook has a trackpad button that is so stiff and noisy it can be heard across the room, but that's beside the point. As is par for the course with most of these issues that only seem to show up in a few machines, Apple is refusing to do anything about the squishy trackpads. Fortunately for those plagued with the issue, an enterprising paper-folding power user found that sticking some folded up paper between the battery and the trackpad fixes the issue. Via Slashdot.
