Olympic Profile: Garry Herbert, Investment Management Division, London
Garry Herbert joined Goldman Sachs in 2005 and is now working in our Investment Management Division in London. He won a gold medal in Rowing (Coxed Pair) as a member of the British Olympic team at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. We spoke with him about his Olympics experience.
Q: Garry, how did you become involved in rowing?
Garry: It all started with the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1984. My sports teacher's son was rowing at that Games in the Men's Coxed Fours, and I just remember watching all the rowing on TV. Although there are six boats in a final, in reality the event had been dominated by two crews that year—the USA and Great Britain. Great Britain was triumphant in the final, albeit by a very narrow margin. But it was the manner of their victory that left an indelible mark on me which was to change my life for ever. From that moment, I thought, that's what I want to do, to represent my country at the Olympic Games and win a gold medal.
Q: Can you talk about what skills you had to develop in your role as a coxswain and how it's translated to your business experience?
Garry: There are three characteristics that I think are critical: trust, leadership and integrity. As a coxswain, you control the speed of the boat by giving direction to the rowers. To be effective, however a race is developing, the crew have to believe you, and when you get their confidence, then that's a very powerful combination.
Truly great leaders are those who lead from the front and by example, who have earned the respect of everyone. That is what I've learned from the boat: strong leadership by example. If you get down to training before everybody else, to get everything ready, that sends out a huge signal. Everyone is important.
Q: Is tenacity a trait you've always had, or is it something that developed through your sporting activities?
Garry: I think it developed through sports, because of the repetition of training, day in, day out. All I know is that if you work hard, you will achieve whatever it is that you set out to be. With a little bit of hard work, there's nothing you can't do. That's always been my philosophy—although I am realistic in my ambitions to know that I will never be a rocket scientist!

STOURBRIDGE Rugby's young players bagged a bundle of victories during an away day visit to a major end-of-season event.
The club's mini and junior section sent teams to compete in age groups ranging from under 7s to under 11s at the Birmingham and Solihull RC's junior's festival on April 13.
Stourbridge took first place in the under 7s and under 9s sections, winning through from groups containing teams from clubs across the Midlands.
Stourbridge was also represented in the winning team under 12's section at the tournament by players Joe Surch and Roop Bachada, who were invited to join a Barbarians-style squad with players from the Silhillians club.

What an idiot. Drs are a bit hit and miss sometimes. I had a rheumy that told me I had too many kids in too short a time (well, wouldn't you with a disease that might render you infertile and treatment that might do the same?). Apparently I just need to rest and eat more protein. (Forget that I had a list of 16 lupus related issues...)
heather123 (12-12-2013)
If my fatigue was in my head, I would be one happy camper, because then I would check myself into an intensive care mental facility to get my head straightened out so I wouldn't have to feel this tired anymore. lol....
heather123 (01-13-2014)
My dr said I have too many children. I just need to eat more protein and get enough sleep. (Ok so I do have five kids). The first dr I saw explained to my mum that I couldn't have M.E. since I didn't have the right disposition, I was too chirpy!
I'm with you Heather. It's such a shame that you can't rely on a health professional to even know what they're talking about. It's not fair that people have to fight to get themselves heard and then get told they're just attention seeking.....

Hi, My name is Melissa and I have SLE, sjogrens syndrome, mitral valve prolapse and diabetes. I suppose I have MMP for short. Multiple medical problems.
I was diagnosed in 2002 and my symptoms were first a minor rash, a heaviness in my chest, some headaches,SEVERE fatigue that I could not really describe and memory and concentration problems. At first I was in denial and I thought the docs were CrAzY!!! I went from NO MEDS to many meds. I thought I was imagining everything and I was CrAzY too. My rheumy told me that this was just the beginning and they were right because over just 3 years everytime i got a flare it manifested itself in so many different ways. I have not really had too much joint problems but I have have now or have experienced migraine headaches, rashes, interstitial lung disease, night sweats, mouth sores, and the list goes on. I seem to get flares in the heat. Last year and right now, I have been experiencing severe exhaustion, right sided headaches with tachycardia (fast heartbeat) memory problems and unable to concentrate. I dont know what the future is for someone in my situation. I am a single parent of 2. A boy (almost 15 and a girl almost 10). I work FT for a radiology firm and I sometimes dont know how I get up each day and work 8 hours. But the alternative is living on $800.00 a month and I could not live like that. I feel trapped.
Right now I would like to ask if anyone has experienced my current symptoms and if they know about B 12 deficiency? My sister mentioned to me to get tested?
Also, is anyone in the Sacramento, CA area??
Thanks for listening!!

PLANTATION, Fla. - Officer Nelia Real smiled as she cracked open her front door hours after having been released from the hospital.
Her black hair tied back, shoulders slightly slumped, the veteran Key Biscayne officer spoke softly and looked tired, but given what she's been through, she knows it's a blessing she can open her own door.
She'll be in recovery for weeks. She is not ready to speak on camera, but she's a strong woman, she told Local 10's Christina Vazquez, and will continue to pull through.
Wednesday will be the first time Real can sleep in her own bed, after she was shot in the neck on May 10th on her commute home along the Turnpike.
Real was driving home when she spotted a car crash. Her instinct was to stop and help, but before she could even get out of her cruiser, a bullet pierced the window and hit her in the neck.
The 16-year veteran officer was just 18 months from retirement.
Fortunately, BSO deputy Osvaldo Petitfrere was also along that stretch of Turnpike and rushed Real to Memorial Regional Hospital. Petitfrere is credited with saving her life.
The shooter, who also shot an ICE agent in the arm, was later identified as 23-year-old David Bradley.
He led law enforcement on a two-county crime spree that day which also included a carjacking and a barber shop robbery in Pembroke Pines before taking his own life on the Turnpike.
Officer Real plans to tell her harrowing story at a news conference in Key Biscayne Wednesday afternoon.
For now, she will do what she hasn't been able to do in nearly two weeks -- enjoy the peace and quiet of her own home.

Parents for generations have urged their finicky eaters to eat all of their lunch or dinner because there are always "kids starving in Africa."
A new article shows this mentality may not be far from the truth.
A recent article from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers reports that between 30 and 50 percent of all food never reaches the human stomach and instead is wasted.
Considering that ag producers are already facing the daunting task of feeding 9 billion people by 2050, waste may be one of the biggest obstacles in reaching this goal.
"This level of wastage is a tragedy that cannot continue if we are to succeed in the challenge of sustainably meeting our future food demands," the article states.
While developed countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom may employ efficient farming practices and improved transportation, storage and processing facilities, the modern consumer behavior in these developed nations leads to greater waste of food resources.
Consumers may not be the only focus of the blame. Supermarket sales often urge shoppers to buy food – even perishable items – in bulk. As a result, up to 50 percent of what is purchased is thrown away.
Read, "Global Food: Waste Not, Want Not" to find what could be the solution to this problem and what other issues are facing producers and consumers in feeding the growing global population.
The topic of food waste came up at a Future of Food Summit last June hosted by The Washington Post.
In developed and developing countries alike, about one-third of all food calories are wasted, Jason Clay, senior vice president of the World Wildlife Fund, told those attending the Food Summit. In the developing countries, it is often due to insect pests, rodents, post-harvest loses, and sub-optimal transportation and storage. In the developed countries, a lot of it is due simply to people throwing food away, he said. Read "Wildlife rooting for ag to 'get it right' on hunger issue."

Cropland value across the country increased by 13 percent to $4,000 per acre, according to the USDA's annual "Land Values" report released on Friday. These values took a hit in 2009 but have climbed steadily ever since.
The Northern Plains and Corn Belt saw the biggest jump, with cropland values up 25 and 16.1 percent, respectively.
North Dakota cropland reached $1,910 per acre, up a whopping 41.5 percent from last year. South Dakota wasn't far behind with values jumping 30.2 percent to $3,020 per acre. Cropland values in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan also grew by at least 15 percent.
Not all states reported increases, however. Texas reported a 3 percent drop in cropland values from last year, while New Mexico saw these values drop by nearly 10 percent. Wyoming, New York, Alabama, South Carolina and Florida also saw their cropland values decline.
Real estate value, which includes the value of all land and buildings on farms, averaged $2,900 per acre in 2013, up 9.4 percent from 2012. The highest farm real estate values were in the Corn Belt, averaging $6,400 per acre. Since 2009, however, farm real estate values in the Corn Belt have climbed 76.8 percent.
Pasture value also increased, climbing 4.3 percent to $1,200 per acre. As with the other land values reported, pasture values in the Corn Belt and Northern Plains were the highest reported.

Tim Seward heads out of his humble Burbank home, yelling back to his mom, who has just settled into a chair in their family room.
"See you later," he says.
Moments before, his mom runs down a checklist of questions.
"What's in the cooler?"
"Who are they for?"
"What color is Cruise?"
He then excitedly leaves for the horse stables.
In many ways, Mary Seward says, she's living with Peter Pan.
Her 21-year-old son was born with Fragile X syndrome, a genetic mutation of the X chromosome that causes intellectual disability, according to the National Institutes of Health.
"He's still got the heart and soul of a 5- or 6-year-old," Seward says. "He's just so sweet and so much fun. He has a hard time doing things, but you don't mind helping him."
Though there's no cure for Fragile X, engaged conversations like the one above are becoming more frequent and in-depth thanks to a breakthrough study Tim is involved in at Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach.
The trial is for a drug called arbaclofen, which targets the social withdrawal or social avoidance behaviors that are a key issue with Fragile X, says Dr. Gary Feldman, the medical director at the Stramski Children's Developmental Center at Miller Children's Hospital.
Feldman is handling the local trials for arbaclofen and another drug called mGlu5 receptor antagonist, which also aims to curb the social avoidance behaviors associated with Fragile X.
Tim began the six-week double-blind portion of the study in fall 2011 and the family still doesn't know if he was on the placebo. But in April 2012, he started a trial with the actual drug.
Since then, Tim's mother and Feldman have seen remarkable changes, they say.
"Since he has been on the open label arbaclofen study his gaze avoidance has improved. Tim's social communication has improved - he is starting to greet people spontaneously and introduce himself by name," Feldman says.
"Speech therapist reports a big difference in his reading and his vocabulary has increased," the doctor says. "When I saw him earlier this month, he was noted to speak much more richly and he was verbally more animated."
Feldman says Tim was able to talk about a movie he had watched and to point out the characters. It was also noted that he has taken more of an interest in looking at and trying to read books.
Tim's parents first noticed arbaclofen was working in June when they threw a party at their home and Tim introduced himself to one of their guests. It was the first time he had ever done that.
Though Tim has been on a variety of medications since age 4, Seward says this is the first drug that has targeted the specific gene linked to Fragile X syndrome, the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 gene, or FRM1.
Because of the genetic abnormality, people with Fragile X syndrome do not produce a protein called Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP), which regulates and controls the production of proteins that govern how nerves are formed, says Feldman.
"So the way these drugs work, particularly this one, is it's designed to stimulate the release of a controlling chemical that will prevent this runaway production of proteins," Feldman says.
"I would say more than 50 percent of the cases on the open label we have seen some significant improvements and it's of the more social context - initiating more social contact, making better eye contact, being more verbal, speaking more and a decrease in anxiety."
The drug is also being used in a study for children with autism, as they have similar symptoms as people with Fragile X.
But the two may be even more closely related.
About a third of those diagnosed with Fragile X also have a clinical diagnosis of autism, making it the most common known genetic cause of autism, according to the National Fragile X Foundation. And for others who do not have the clinical diagnosis, they still most likely have autistic-like behaviors.
The study of arbaclofen on children with autism is also showing great promise on the same social avoidance behaviors, says Feldman.
Fragile X is rare compared to autism, but the link between the two has helped generate funding for Fragile X research, says Seward, who is treasurer of the Fragile X Association of Southern California.
Because Fragile X is a single-gene defect that causes autistic-like tendencies - whereas the causes of autism are still relatively unknown - the thought is if researchers can find a way to alleviate those symptoms in Fragile X patients they also can rid austic children of the same symptoms, says Seward.
So far, Feldman says, the drugs are very promising for both categories of patients.
"I think they're going to make a big difference in the quality of life for these kids," Feldman says. "Bottom line is I'm very excited. It's exciting to be involved in something you can see is going to be very helpful."
As for Seward, she says this is the most exciting breakthrough she's seen, comparing it to when researchers discovered insulin for diabetes.
Though she knows there will be no cure for her son, all she wants is for him to have a better quality of life.
"It's been a long journey but we really enjoy him," Seward says. "They really tug at your heartstrings once you get to know them, but they don't allow everyone into their world."

AN 11-year-old footballer known as 'Mini Messi' could be barred from playing with her team next season because she is a girl.
But now the young athlete has launched a petition to urge the Welsh Football Association to level the playing field for all girls.
Megan Lewis, of Richmond Road, Newport, plays for the Under 11's side at the Riverside Rovers.
But the football rules in Wales stop children playing in mixed-sex games when they reach 12, and as Megan turns 12 next March, it means she could be barred from playing for her team from the start of next season in August.
The rules from the Football Association of Wales state: "Except in small-sided matches involving players under the age of twelve years, no football match in which players of the opposite sex are involved shall be permitted to be played [...] except in those area associations where there is no junior league available."
The FAW states if the provision is there, girls should play on girls-only teams. Andrew Howard of FAW, said: "As there are girls-only teams at that stage, she should play on a girls team. It's very much to grow the women's game."
However, it is not clear what is meant by "provision". There are currently two girls' teams in Newport, but there is no girls' league in Gwent, which may be enough to justify Megan continuing in her mixed team.
Addressing the committee at the Newport District Junior Youth League AGM on Wednesday evening, Megan's father, James Lewis, said: "We're looking to establish what the actual rule is [...] the FA rule is a little bit cloudy.
"She'd like right now, to stay with the team. She would like to have the choice to play with her mates."
Both England and Scotland allow girls to play on mixed teams until they are 15. The FA in England changed their rules as a result of a petition of 6,000 signatures collected by two 11-year-old girls, so now Megan hopes to do the same.
Her mother, Sian Pretty, said: "We want these girls to have the same rights as the girls in England."
Ask the shy 11-year-old why she wants to stay on her side and her answer is simple: "Because all my friends are there."
But this is an issue the FAW are investigating. The FAW's Women and girl's football strategy states: "The FAW will undertake a review of mixed football, currently operating for under 11's."
Mr Howard said the terms and conditions for the review are being drawn up.
In Wales, football is the most popular team sport in primary schools for girls and Megan regularly plays for her school team at Glan Usk Primary. But she has been playing for the Riverside Rovers for six years, where she is the only girl playing at the club.
Stephen Walsh has coached Megan on the Under 11's Riverside Rovers team for the past two years. He said: "She's my best player. I think a girl who's established in a boys' side should go on until it gets to a stage where it's too visible. At 15, a girl competing against 15-year-old boys is at a disadvantage, but at this stage it's not. It boils down to the capability of the individual.
"It's like a big family at the club and she's been here so long. I don't want to lose her. It would be a great shame."
Although a Manchester United fan, Megan's favourite footballer is Rachel Yankey, from FA Cup-winning side Arsenal Ladies, who she has written to about her petition. The central midfielder, says she hopes one day to represent her country.
Mr Walsh is supporting Megan's petition and said: "If she can do it for every team, that's a result."
Megan's online petition, which currently has 150 signatures, can be found at: www.ipetitions.com/petition/raise-the-age-for-mixed-sex-football-teams-in

Time flies. It's been a year since Dr. Gray, a Microsoft research fellow and Turing
Award-winner, went missing while
sailing off San Francisco. A year ago, at Boise Code Camp 2.0, I hosted a session
on finding Jim
Gray, using Amazon's Mechanical Turk.
Now, a year after Dr. Gray went missing, the Association
of Computing Machinery (the organization that holds the Turing Awards), the IEEE
Computer Society and the University of California-Berkeley have joined to announce
a tribute to Gray, planned for May 31 at the UC Berkeley campus. Jim Gray attended
UC Berkeley from 1961 to 1969 and earned the school's very first Ph.D. in computer

Microsoft's Patterns
& Practices group recently released the final version of the "Team Development
with Team Foundation Server" Guide. This guide has been in beta for the last couple
of months.
It shows you how to get the most out of Team Foundation Server to help improve
the effectiveness of your team-based software development. Whether you are already
using Team Foundation Server or adopting from scratch, you'll find guidance and insights
you can tailor for your specific scenarios. It's a collaborative effort between patterns

Some quick facts:
Download the guide from CodePlex.
My students this week told me about the new
version. I remember using the original XML Notepad, and it was great, very simple.
For the longest time, I couldn't find it on Microsoft's site to download, and then
a newer version showed up on CodePlex.
Ok, I finally got fed up with all of the spam in my historical dasBlog postings.
It's really embarrassing to send a link to a a colleague, only to have them snicker
at all of the spam comments and trackbacks.
For those of you who don't know what a trackback is,
it's basically an acknowledgement that enables authors to keep track of who is linking
to, or referring to their articles. When used properly, trackbacks form a communication
link between the two blogs, so that new comments on one blog can basically ping
the other, allowing readers to easily follow discussions on both. The problem is that
spammers have abused this mechanism and bloggers end up with trackbacks and pingbacks
to various gambling, herbal medication, and adult sites.
Earlier this year I joined the ranks, and disabled my trackback and pingback
services in dasBlog. I then followed Scott
Hanselman's advice on using Akismet spam
blocking service.
The big effort was then how to cleanup the <Comment> and <Trackback> elements
that were spam, so, like others before me, I built a tool to assist with this.

This week Microsoft released the Visual Studio Team Foundation Server – Project
Server 2007 connector as a CodePlex
project. The project has been up for a few weeks, but is now being broadly advertised.
The TFS-PS2007 connector is designed to integrate the project management capabilities
of TFS with Project Server 2007. It's been developed by the Visual Studio Team System
Rangers in response to significant customer demand for a connector solution. Future
versions of Team System will have native integration with Project Server, in the meantime
this Connector solution is the best way to integrate the two Microsoft products. This
solution builds on the previous PS2003 VSTS Connector, published on GotDotNet.

DALLAS (AP) - Texas voters made Ted Cruz the state's first Hispanic U.S. senator but their overwhelming support for fellow Republican Mitt Romney wasn't enough to keep Democratic President Barack Obama from winning re-election to a second term.
The GOP dominance at the top of the Texas ticket was no surprise. Democrats haven't won statewide office in Texas since 1994, the longest state losing streak for the party in the country.
Romney won Texas' 38 electoral votes by building a nearly 3-2 margin lead over Obama but lost the overall prize.
In the balloting to succeed retiring U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, Cruz similarly topped underfunded former Democratic state Rep. Paul Sadler. Cruz was virtually unknown as a former state solicitor general before he used tea party backing to emerge from a crowded GOP primary field as runner-up to Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, then swept by the mainstream party choice in the runoff to clinch the Republican nomination.
Some nail-biters loomed in the congressional races where Texas is getting four new representatives thanks to adding 4.3 million residents between 2000 and 2010. Republicans took 21 seats, Democrats had 13 and two were too close to call. Two years ago, Republicans captured 22 of the then-32 seats possible.
In the Legislature, Republicans looked likely to lose the 102-vote supermajority in the House that had allowed them to pass legislation even if their Democratic colleagues failed to show up for work.
And in the state Senate, all eyes were on an expensive and increasingly nasty battle where Fort Worth Democratic Sen. Wendy Davis had a narrow lead over challenger and tea party Republican state Rep. Mark Shelton.
A Shelton victory would give Republicans 20 state Senate seats to 11 for Democrats. Under the Senate's traditional rules, a bill needs 21 votes to make it to the floor for debate, and Republicans were fighting for every possible seat to achieve a supermajority that can suspend the rules.
Among the Senate winners was Democrat Mario Gallegos, Jr., an incumbent from Houston who died in October of liver failure. A special election will be held to fill his seat.
Cruz told supporters in Houston if Obama followed through on campaign promises to bring people together to reduce the deficit and get people working, "then I will work with him."
But Cruz said if Obama did not, "then I will spend every waking moment to stop it."
"My pledge to you is to work every single day in the U.S. Senate to champion small business and entrepreneurs and help them do what they do best, create jobs and get America working again," he said.
Sadler said he called Cruz to congratulate him.
"It's worth the fight, our state is worth the fight, our country is worth the fight," Sadler said of his long-shot campaign. "We expanded the debate and made people think maybe about issues a little deeper."
Voters waited at least 30 minutes at some Texas precincts earlier in the day although state officials predicted overall turnout likely would be below levels of four years ago.
"I don't think you should take money from people just because they are successful," said Bob Ramey, 61, an El Paso CPA, explaining why he couldn't vote for Obama, who advocates higher taxes for wealthier Americans.
But Ben Hernandez, 59, who owns a construction company with his wife in League City outside Houston, credited the president with a good job in his first term and deserving of their votes.
"He did what he had to do," Mary Sue Hernandez, 52, said. "He came in at the toughest time and he did well."
A tight race unfolded in a sprawling congressional district stretching from San Antonio to eastern El Paso County, where freshman Republican U.S. Rep. Francisco "Quico" Canseco and Democratic state Rep. Pete Gallego swapped slim leads.
Another squeaker was shaping up for the seat Ron Paul is leaving along the Gulf Coast, where Republican state Rep. Randy Weber held a narrow advantage over former Democratic Congressman Nick Lampson.
In the winners with surprising backgrounds category was Republican former U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman, who served one term in Congress starting in 1994 but accused the government of "executing" members of the Branch Davidian cult after the siege near Waco. He was headed back to Capitol Hill after waging a low-profile campaign in a district north and east of Houston.
Beto O'Rourke also was going to Congress for the first time from heavily Democratic District 16. He is a guitar-playing, twice-arrested former El Paso city councilman who once advocated for legalizing marijuana but nonetheless stunned eight-term incumbent Silvestre Reyes during the Democratic primary.
All 15 of the Texas Board of Education's seats are also on the ballot. Eight Republicans won along with three Democrats and four remained too close to call. The larger question was if social conservatives gained gain more influence.
Six of the board's current Republicans are already considered social conservatives - an ideological bloc that if it holds or strengthens could dominate discussions next year as the state orders new science textbooks. That may mean a replay of 2009, when some school board members promoted creationism during discussions on curriculum while pushing for Texas public schools to teach "strengths and weaknesses" of evolution.
Among statewide court races, Republican Sharon Keller won a fourth six-year term as presiding judge of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. Keller gained notoriety in 2007 for closing the state's highest criminal court precisely at 5 p.m., barring a final-hour appeal from a death row inmate who was executed that evening.

Singleton likely to start season with Quad Cities
PITTSBURGH -- Astros top prospect Jonathan Singleton, who is nearing the end of his 50-game suspension after violating the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program for a drug of abuse -- his second positive test -- will begin his season sometime next week at Class A Quad Cities before moving to Triple-A Oklahoma City, general manager Jeff Luhnow said Sunday.
Singleton, ranked by MLB.com as the top prospect in the Astros organization, was suspended Jan. 9. He later said in a statement he had tested positive for marijuana.
Singleton, a left-handed-hitting first baseman, hit .284 with 21 homers and 79 RBIs in 131 games last year at Double-A Corpus Christi and was expected to push for playing time on the Major League club this year. The Astros acquired him and three other players from the Phillies in the Hunter Pence trade in 2011.
Luhnow didn't have an exact date for Singleton's return, saying it would happen next week. He would likely be eligible to return May 28, which would be the 51st game on Corpus Christi's schedule, and he was on its roster when suspended.
"Right now, it looks like we're going to send him to Quad Cities for a short period of time, and from there go to his next assignment, which will probably be Oklahoma City," he said. "Just give him a chance to play under the lights somewhere else, and Quad Cities is our newest affiliate and we love the ballpark and we love the management team, and it's a good opportunity.
"Whenever we have a chance to send a big leaguer, or close to a big league player there, it strengthens the bond between us and our affiliate."

National unemployment figures may be stuck at more than 9 percent, but that doesn't mean employers have 14 million prospective workers beating down their doors. In fact, finding good employees remains a challenge, especially on dairies and other ag-related operations where "dirty jobs" are often difficult to fill.
These are the jobs The Fiscal Times describes as "high-stress, uncomfortable, dangerous, or just plain icky, that regardless of the recession, you have to be pretty desperate to sign up for. " Of course, there's a list of these "hideous" jobs, with ag earning a top spot.
The publication recently ranked dairy farm hand right up there with head lice technician as employment opportunities few U.S. workers seem to want, noting that about 41 percent of dairy workers are foreign-born. (Read the full article.)
Other jobs on the list include:
- Window washer
- Diaper service worker
- High-rise iron worker
- Septic tank/Sewer pipe servicer
- Oil and gas industry roustabout
- Meter reader
- Animal slaughterer
But don't despair. According to the article, software and natural-resource-extraction companies are among those still trying to hire because they can't find enough people with the right skills, either.

About Stroke
In the United States, stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability; only heart disease and cancer cause more deaths annually. Every year about 750,000 Americans experience a stroke; about 160,000 of these people die.
The good news is that many fewer Americans now die of strokes than was the case 20 or 30 years ago. Improvement in the control of major risk factors - smoking, high blood pressure and high cholesterol - is likely responsible for the decline.
Facts about stroke
- A stroke occurs when something happens to interrupt the steady flow of blood to the brain, like a clot or a burst in a blood vessel. Brain cells quickly begin to die.
- Problems caused by a stroke may vary depending on the extent of the brain damage and where in the brain the stroke occurred. A stroke can affect personality, behavior, movement, sensation, hearing, language, vision, and thinking.
- You Can Beat a Stroke: Disabilities can be prevented or limited, but the patient must go to the emergency room immediately.

"We have the philosophy in our room that we'd rather say, "Whoa!" rather than, 'Sic 'em,'" he says.
In other words, he prefers aggressive guys you have to slow down rather than passive guys you have to speed up.
"I want to see us have a pads-first attitude playing with good fundamental structure," Inge says. "We know we'll make it hard for us to beat ourselves. That's where we want to start. Let's not beat ourselves and it will be tough for another team to beat us."
Inge was hired in the spring after Mike Ekeler left for USC. He brings an extensive coaching and playing background that reflects where coach Kevin Wilson wants to take the program.
Last season he coached in the NFL as the Buffalo Bills assistant defensive line coach. Before that he spent two years as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at the University of Buffalo. He also was the linebackers coach at Cincinnati and San Diego State.
In the mid-1990s, he was a defensive standout at Iowa, totaling career numbers of 173 tackles, 24 sacks and 37 tackles for loss. He played on two bowl-winning teams.
Inge coaches with a more cerebral approach, a stark contrast to the fiery Ekeler.
"He's calm and comfortable with the kids," Wilson says. "He knows how to interact and talk to them. They feel he knows what he's talking about.
"There are different coaching styles. His style is not a jump around energy guy, but he's into practice. Having been a player, having been in the (NFL), having been a defensive coordinator, he commands a little respect. The kids listen to him."
How big a change has Inge delivered?
"I'm not sure because I don't know how they did it before. Some guys are saying some things are different, but that's what you get when you get me. We're going to try to build great young men in their personal life, their academic life, their spiritual life. We'll do what we can to help develop them."
For now development comes from long distance range. Hoosier players are wrapping up finals this week. They're set to head home for the next month before returning to campus in June for a summer of school, drills, weight lifting and more.
Improved defense is a key, and it's likely newcomers will play a huge role. Three got a big jump by enrolling for the second semester and participating in spring practice. They are a pair of junior college transfers in linebacker Steven Funderburke and defensive lineman Jordan Heiderman, freshman linebacker T.J. Simmons.
A banged-up group of linebackers enabled Simmons and Funderburke to get plenty of spring reps, which should pay off in the fall.
"It gives them confidence in understanding the (defensive) schematic structure," Inge says. "They should be able to recall it in the fall so they can make an impact on the defense. We've seen a high level of contact toughness. They're not afraid of contact. They can get in the thick of things with good fundamental structure."
Beyond that, the defense has plenty of veterans, topped by cornerback Kenny Mullen. The former Bishop Luers defensive standout started five games last year, and played in 11, totaling 33 tackles with four pass breakups.
The Hoosiers went 1-11 in Wilson's first season and 4-8 last year. They are gunning for their first bowl appearance since 2007 and just their second since 1993.

It's not often that captains drop the gloves for a fight, but that's what happened between the Sharks' Joe Thornton and the Blackhawks' Jonathan Toews in the first period of Friday's game in Chicago.
With about 4 ½ minutes left in the firs period, Toews was roughing up Thornton along the boards, and just would not quit until he dropped his gloves to provoke a fight.
The two tangled for about minute before Thornton dragged Toews to the ice and the referees skated in. The 6-4, 235-pound Thornton was the winner in the fight, landing more blows than the 6-2, 208-pound Toews. But the NHL-leading Blackhawks (11-0-3) won the war, beating the Sharks 4-1 on Friday night for their fifth win in six games.
"He asked me to fight and I was kind of shocked," Thornton said. "I said, 'Sure.' That's how it went. He'd hit me from behind, but it wasn't anything serious. Then he just asked me to fight, so I obliged.
"Hopefully the guys could rally after it. They didn't, but we'll be back. What do you do? They want to fight, so sure, I'll fight."
Toews received 2 minutes for boarding, 2 minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct and a 5-minute fighting major. Thornton got 5 minutes for fighting. But the Sharks were unable to take advantage of the resulting power play.
"There's always little things, players that are going to be chipping at you and trying to get under your skin," Toews said. "I think the rest is history right now. Like I said, I felt it was something I needed to do, stand up for myself, and I did it and glad I did it. I think it helped our team."
This fight might have been a carryover from last season, when the two mixed it up as both sides were making line changes. Video of that Feb. 10, 2012 scrum by the bench showed Toews not allowing Thornton to get to his bench, and Thornton took exception to that, throwing punches at Toews.
As luck would have it, these two teams will play again next Friday in Chicago. Can't wait for a potential Part 3 to this affair.
San Jose has dropped seven in a row after getting off to a 7-0 start. Three of the losses have come in a shootout or overtime.

Altuve returns to lineup after sitting with sore neck
HOUSTON -- All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve returned to the Astros lineup Sunday, batting second behind Robbie Grossman. Altuve sat out Saturday's game after he was removed in the fifth inning Friday with what was described as neck discomfort.
"I think he's close enough," manager Bo Porter said. "Altuve wants to play and when the trainers said it's OK, he's going to be in the lineup. Yesterday he came back and was better than he was when it first happened, but for precautionary reasons we felt like we'll give him an extra day. Today he is much better than he was yesterday."
Even sitting out one game, Altuve moved back into the lead in the American League batting race, hitting .333 entering Sunday despite an 0-for-9 slump. He also leads the Majors in hits (158) and multi-hit games (48) and leads the AL in stolen bases with 45.
Altuve was hitting second Sunday for the first time since June 26, when lead-off hitter Dexter Fowler got injured. He had batted leadoff in the 37 games prior to Saturday when he sat out.
"It really doesn't matter where the guys hits," Porter said. "He's going to hit."

Nicolas Cage has been confirmed for new movie Primal, it has been revealed.
The Oscar-winning actor, who is famed for his eclectic back catalogue and sometimes melodramatic delivery, stars in the new movie directed by Hollywood stunt coordinator Nick Powell (The Bourne Identity, X-Men: The Last Stand and Cinderella Man).
In Primal, Cage will play a big game hunter for zoos trapped on a Greek cargo ship filled with dangerous animals, including a rare white jaguar. A political assassin being extradited to the US in secret joins him on the ship, but after two days escapes and releases the animals, triggering a show-down between Cage and the big cat.
The practice of big game hunting has been widely condemned by animal welfare groups, and was the topic of a Louis Theroux documentary in 2008.
The film was announced at the Toronto International Film Festival and will begin production on October 23 in Puerto Rico. Primal is the first project by finance, development and production company Wonderfilm Media, with company co-founder Daniel Grodnik set to produce. Richard Leder will write the script.
In January, Nicolas Cage surprised fans by crashing a festival in Austin dedicated to his work.

Kent County Showground
After the success of this year's Winter Social and the brand new Colombia and Mexico ventures in March, The Social Festival and its founder Nic Fanciulli has now unveiled the first wave of names for its fifth-anniversary edition. Set to round off the summer season, The Social will return to Maidstone this September on Friday 29th & Saturday 30th and promises to fire on all cylinders across the festival's finessed sound system.
Festival curator Nic Fanciulli explains:
"We couldn't have made it 5 years without each and every one of you… expect some big surprises, some even bigger production and a huge lineup. I can't wait to show you what we have in store - let's celebrate the birthday together"
Close affiliate Carl Cox heads a fellowship of leading lights from the underground scene, and will return to The Social for yet another social gathering of the best and boldest DJs. Joining Carl is a host of house and techno pioneers that have each have spent the best part of the last decade mastering their craft. The Martinez Brothers, Black Coffee, Jackmaster, Guy Gerber and Cassy are amongst those confirmed, while for the party purists come two UK playmakers, old friends and partners from the heyday to today: Sasha & John Digweed. Matchups continue with Apollonia, the almighty trio of Frenchmen Dyed Soundorom, Dan Ghenacia and Shonky. Butch, Emmanuel Satie, Adriatique and D'Julz complete a textbook affair down to the letter, accumulating depths and decades of experience as The Social Festival itself levels up to the big league.

New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter already is in camp and is calming any fears that the team or its fans might have about his recovery from October ankle surgery.
On Monday, Jeter ran on a treadmill for the first time since the surgery, according to the New York Daily News. He also hit in the batting cage and continued to do fielding drills, while wearing a brace on his left ankle.
"I'm right where I need to be," Jeter told reporters. "I've gotten the OK to do everything now. … I've got all the green lights I need."
Jeter stressed that he feels no different than he has during past camps, adding that he simply must take a little special care with the ankle.
"It's all a progression," Jeter told the Daily News. "Even if I didn't break my ankle, like I told you guys before, there are steps to it. This is just another step in the process that I would be doing anyway. When I originally start taking ground balls, I take them on the grass, then I don't move and then I take them on the grass and start to move and then I back up, so it's all the same as years before."

RESIDENTS gathered together for their annual street party, which has taken place since 2010 in Waverley Gardens.
This year, it was dedicated to raising funds for cancer and epilepsy research charities, after the deaths of two neighbours in the last year.
The event was organised by the Waverley Wives.
Vivienne Crouch, a member of the group, said: "We would like to thank our two local shopping centres, in Crammavill Street and Socketts Heath, for supporting us in our efforts to raise funds for these two charities by donating gifts for the Waverley Wives to hold a raffle.
"There was also a bric-a-brac stall and lollipop game that also raised funds.
"Roger and Ken, from Neighbourhood Watch, also had a stall to give advice about house crime prevention and selling items to prevent house burglaries."
A magician was also present to entertain guests and residents were provided with fish and chips.
Mrs Crouch added: "The street party was a huge success. Our magician gave a performance for free and neighbours and friends gave generously in the two charity boxes provided on the green."

Broadhead continues to grow its relationship with the animal health staple, Boehringer Ingelheim. The agency was recently named agency of record for Boehringer Ingelheim (Canada) Ltd (BICL) cattle division. Broadhead has worked with the same segment of Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. in the United States for the past three years.
Broadhead will lead the development of all advertising, collateral, and public relations efforts for BICL'S expansive beef and dairy product portfolio. These brands include Express and Pyramid vaccines, Cefa-Lak and Cefa-Dri mastitis tubes and Metacam, a long-acting pain reliever for cattle.
"After seeing the work Broadhead has done with the United States cattle division, we knew it made sense to work with them here in Canada," says Jelle Bergmans, bovine production manager for BICL. "Working with Broadhead in both Canada and the United States will increase opportunities for efficiency and consistency."
Working with BICL not only compliments Broadhead's work with the company's United States cattle segment, but also the agency's other Canadian accounts, including the Canola Council of Canada and Canadian markets for AGCO and The Mosaic Company.
"This is a great opportunity for us to continue our work in Canada and to continue helping Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc. grow," says Clifford Owen, vice president and account director at Broadhead. "Working with both the United States and Canadian segments will help provide a more consistent and effective message."

New Devils River Access Permit Process Takes Effect Feb. 1
Policy Applies to Paddlers Accessing River Via TPWD-Managed Lands
AUSTIN – Beginning Feb. 1, any paddler planning to put in or take out of the Devils River on public lands managed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in Val Verde County must first obtain a permit from TPWD.
The new Devils River Access Permit is a key component of a pilot program designed to provide opportunities for responsible, resource-compatible public use of the Devils River, while respecting private landowner rights and protecting the ecological health of the river and its fragile ecosystem. Implementation of a permitting system was one of the key recommendations of the original Devils River Working Group that endeavored to strike a balance between private landowner rights and recreational river use by the public.
"We believe that with this new permitting process the department has done due diligence in following the recommendations of a diverse group of landowners, conservation organizations and paddling groups," TPWD Executive Director Carter Smith said. "The permit system helps strike a balance between private landowner rights and the rights of the public to access the river for recreation. We will monitor how this pilot works and can make adjustments if needed."
TPWD will issue up to 12 day-use launch permits and 12 overnight-use launch permits per day. Before launching a kayak or canoe on the Devils River, each paddler must obtain a permit, although the trip leader of a paddling group may obtain all permits for members of the group. Permits will cost $10 per person and may be obtained 11 months in advance.
Permits will be needed by any paddler planning to access the river at either of the two Devils River State Natural Area units, as well as Baker's Crossing. The Baker's Crossing bridge area on State Highway 163 is being managed by TPWD under an agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation. Most lands adjacent to the approximately 37 miles of Devils River from Baker's Crossing to Amistad Reservoir are privately owned and off limits to paddlers.
The Devils River State Natural Area consists of the original 20,000-acre state natural area that's now called the Del Norte unit, the newly acquired 17,000-acre lower river area that's been designated as the Big Satan unit and the Baker's Crossing unit. The primary purpose of the state natural area is to protect natural and cultural resources and provide opportunities for limited, resource-compatible use.
To learn more about the permitting process, river etiquette and the unique challenges of a Devils River trip, paddlers should visit: http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/devils-river. Beginning Monday, Jan. 14, contact TPWD Devils River Reservations at (512) 389-8901 to apply for river access and camping permits and to learn about commercial outfitters. Camping fees apply at the Del Norte's San Pedro Point paddler camp and at the 29 Mile paddler camp. Reservations are required.

Updated from 5:38 p.m. ET to include information on lowered guidance from Scholastic. NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Are we really in for another month of speculation about the fiscal cliff? Credit Suisse thinks so, saying it doesn't believe a deal is likely to occur until mid-December. Yikes. And, as stated yesterday, this agreement is likely to be more stop-gap than ultimate problem solver. Here's how the firm sees this unwanted holiday drama playing out. "Our Washington public policy team believes sequestration will be 'switched off' and most of the Bush tax rates will be extended for a year," Credit Suisse said of the initial deal to avoid the cliff. "In addition, there could be some down payment on deficit reduction now. The short-term deal could involve some 'revenue' raisers for upper-income taxpayers, and perhaps some modest spending cuts. The debt ceiling could also be lifted." Once that's out of the way, work on the so-called "grand bargain" can begin. Credit Suisse sees taxes as the most divisive issue between the two parties. "Republicans have signaled a willingness to accept new revenues," the firm said. "But they remain opposed to tax rate increases. Instead, they favor base broadening as opposed to higher rates, and demand spending cuts in return. The President says he is 'open to new ideas,' but remains staunchly opposed to a deal without tax increases on the 'wealthy.' Meanwhile, the depth of Democratic support for spending cuts, especially entitlements, is another unknown." Just getting anything done though may be enough to placate Wall Street for a while. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke voiced this sentiment in his latest speech on Tuesday, sounding hopeful about the prospects for progress on the big picture if the politicians can show an ability to play nicely now. "Moreover, while the details of whatever agreement is reached to resolve the fiscal cliff are important, the economic confidence of both market participants and the general public likely will also be influenced by the extent to which our political system proves able to deliver a reasonable solution with a minimum of uncertainty and delay," he said. "Finding long-term solutions that can win sufficient political support to be enacted may take some time, but meaningful progress toward this end can be achieved now if policymakers are willing to think creatively and work together constructively."

Kozma delivers clutch defense in Saturday's win
MILWAUKEE -- One of the things that has gone seemingly unnoticed by many in the series with the Brewers is the excellent defensive play by shortstop Pete Kozma.
While Jon Jay's clutch single in the ninth gave the Cardinals the lead in their victory over the Brewers on Saturday, starter Adam Wainwright took time to give Kozma credit for an exceptional play in the first inning.
"Koz made maybe a game-saving play at shortstop," Wainwright said. "That was an amazing play."
With the bases loaded and two outs and Milwaukee already having scored twice in the first inning, Alex Gonzalez hit a grounder into the hole between shortstop and third. Kozma got to the ball and made an off-balance throw to second, getting Martin Maldonado by a step to end the inning.
Wainwright pumped his arms excitedly and jogged back to the dugout.
"I knew I had to make the throw to second or to throw to first, it was kind of one of those things where you've got to do what you've got to do," Kozma said. "If you make a great play regardless of where it is, it's going to make anybody feel good."
