Intergenerational Earnings Mobility in Singapore and the United States
AbstractThis study compared intergenerational earnings mobility in Singapore and the United States by replicating the limitations in the Singapore National Youth Survey on the U.S. Panel Study of Income Dynamics. The mean estimated earnings elasticities are almost identical: 0.26 in Singapore and 0.27 in the United States. Transformed to 0.45 and 0.47 respectively to reflect permanent status, mobility in the two countries is moderately low compared internationally. The finding of similar mobility is not surprising given that the economic realities, welfare systems, education regimes, and labor structures in the two countries are similar. Policy makers face the daunting challenge of overcoming immobility and inequality while maintaining global competitiveness.

Is Ireland really the role model for austerity?
AbstractThis paper describes the causes and consequences of Ireland's economic crisis in the context of the policy solution implemented to contain that crisis: protracted fiscal austerity. I describe the causes of the recent crisis in Ireland, and look at the logic of austerity with a simple model. I compare the current crisis to the crisis of the 1980's, when fiscal austerity was touted as the trigger for the Celtic Tiger. I discuss the measures implemented to date in the current crisis, tracing their effects on sectors of Ireland's macroeconomy, and, finally, ask whether Ireland is, indeed, the role model for fiscal austerity in the Eurozone and beyond.

Partnering with several local organizations, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office will be involved in this year's Battle of the Belts at Seminole High School. The Battle of the Belts program was initiated in an effort to increase safety belt use amongst teenagers and decrease the number of students who drive distracted or impaired.

Promoting driver safety is a priority of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office and the City of Seminole Fire Rescue. First responders, students from the Seminole High School CEL club, and SADD chapter will stage a mock motor vehicle crash on the school's football field to stress the importance of wearing a seatbelt and not driving distracted or impaired. The educational experience is known as Battle of the Belts and will provide young drivers a visual outlook on the need to wear a seatbelt and not drive while distracted or impaired.
This event is a part of a student awareness campaign that was held the week of March 11-15th.
If you have any questions regarding the event, contact Deputy Steve Tacia of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office School Resource Unit at 727-582-6200.

Despite what the glowing reader reviews found on Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com lead me to believe, The Green, by Troon McAllister, is a disappointing book at best.
The story is narrated by Alan Bellamy, "Player of the Year" and Ryder Cup captain. After being defeated for $20,000 by a public links hustler named Eddie Caminetti, Bellamy names Caminetti the 12th man to the US Ryder Cup team. Heavy underdogs this year, the US team members witness Eddie's play and agree to pay him $100,000 if he helps them to win or keep the Cup.
The first page promises that things eventually go "haywire," but the expectation remains sadly unfulfilled throughout the book's 289 pages.

The search continues for a fugitive who walked out of a Maricopa County jail using another inmate's identification two weeks ago.
The Arizona Republic reports that Matt Hershey, a deputy U.S. marshal in Arizona, said the U.S. Marshals Service is still collecting information and following up on leads on Rocky Marquez. He offered no specifics on where investigators believe Marquez might be staying, though work continues in Mexico.
The 33-year-old Marquez walked out of the sheriff's Lower Buckeye Jail with a group of other inmates who were being released earlier this month. Officials said Marquez took the identification of another inmate who was scheduled for release, shaved his head and dressed in the other inmate's civilian clothes.
Marquez facing charges of perjury, forgery, and witness tampering.

GIVEAWAY: Share the warmth.
On Saturday night I hosted a Sedgwick's Old Brown dinner party at my house with some friends. The whole theme of the night was 'Share the Warmth' so I asked another friend of mine Jono Hall, who is a brilliant chef to come on over and cook with this idea in mind. He made us a 4-course meal, which was super delicious, I'm still dreaming about the doughnut STARTER. Yes the starter was made up of mini doughnuts, cream, melted chilli chocolate, pomegranates and a shot of Sedgwick's Old Brown on the side, I would of been happy to just have that for supper, in fact at this stage I was wishing none of the guests had arrived so I could of just ploughed through all 10 servings.
We then had Sherry Flambé Livers on Toast, Hunters Pie with Green Beans and Asparagus and ended on a Boozy Marshmallow, Grape and Buried Chocolate Bread drizzled with Custard and Sedgwick's Old Brown. We were all stuffed and happy, like little piggies in a pen somewhere on a farm in Illovo.
We then drank a whole bottle of Old Brown and proceeded to chat about important matters plaguing the world and Kanye West. Ha.
I also bought some cool gifts to giveaway at my little swaray, thanks to Sedgwick's. I bought myself a mini iPad (sometimes you just have to spoil yourself), then I gave away a brand spanking new iPod to one of my guests (Barry won it) and then I thought I would share the warmth a bit more and buy one of you guys a black iPod shuffle. Anyone keen for one?
All you have to do is:
1. Leave me a comment on my blog.
2. Tweet at me @miss_luckypony letting me know that you want it – make sure you use the #sharethewarmth hashtag (this is very important).
Easy right? And this is going to be a super quick giveaway too. I'm going to randomly choose a winner on Friday (28th of June). Anyone is free to enter as long as you #sharethewarmth
I'm also going to share 3 more things with you guys – recipes for 3 of the dishes we had on the night. They were all delicious and you should totally try them out. Enjoy.
*Also if you are looking for something fun and unusual to do, Jono runs a cool pop up restaurant called Food Hall, where he prepares delicious food based on a theme and you can buy a seat (or 2, 3, 4) at the table and enjoy it. He is a really good cook and these nights are super fun, so you should totally check them out.
Chilli hot chocolate cups with mini doughnuts
Ingredients – serves 10
15 Woolies mini-donuts cut in half so that you have 30 halves.
2 slabs chilli dark chocolate
1 slab salted chocolate
1 cup of milk
Seeds of 1 pomegranate
About a cup of cream
1 shot of Sedgwick's Old Brown per serving
What to do:
Get a pot filled with about 2 cups water on the stove and bring to a boil, then bring the heat down so that it's simmering gently. Put a flame-proof bowl over the pot and break in the slabs of chocolate. Once they start to melt, begin to gently whisk the liquid chocolate together so that it becomes glossy. Slowly add milk while whisking so that you start to have a thickish liquid that feels like super-indulgent drinking hot chocolate. Taste it at this point, if there isn't enough of a chilli bite, shake in a few drops of Tabasco sauce (seriously).
In ten espresso cups, pop in the churros/farturas/or three sliced donut halves, pour in the chilli chocolate until about three-quarters full, top up with a bit of pouring cream, sprinkle over some pomegranate seeds and serve with a shot of Sedgwick's Old Brown on the side.
Sherry flambé livers on toast
Ingredients – serves 10
4 calf livers, sliced
Large glug of Sedgwick's Old Brown
Olive oil
2 red onions, thinly sliced
1 red chilli, de-seeded, chopped fine
2 cloves of garlic, chopped fine
1 tbsp redcurrant jelly
1 tbsp got English mustard
a couple of shakes of Worcestershire sauce
a good splash of red wine vinegar
Ciabatta bread and thinly-sliced butter lettuce to serve.
What to do
Heat some olive oil in a pan and then get the onions, chilli and garlic in there to fry. When they're all releasing their smells beautifully, turn down the heat and let them soften and caramelise. The longer you let them gently get sticky, the better the flavour.
Once they're good and done, scrape the onion out the pan and set aside. Put another splash of olive oil in the same pan, turn the heat up full and let the pan get smoking hot. Then add the livers. Stir them about until browned up nicely (should happen very quickly) then add the Sedgwick's Old Brown (at this point you can totally light it for a proper flambé, but it's not essential). It should bubble up and thicken slightly, and as soon as it's started to reduce a bit, add the vinegar and continue to stir. Then chuck in the onions and carry on stirring, then add the Worcestershire sauce, mustard and red currant jelly (yes, and keep stirring) until the livers are starting to swim in a rich brown sauce. Lower the heat, season with salt and a couple of generous grinds of black pepper, then finally stir in the cream. Let the livers bubble gently in the cream for a minute or two, then serve immediately on the lettuce and crusty hot toast.
Boozy marshmallow, grape and buried chocolate bread with custard and Old Brown
Ingredients – serves 10
1 kg cake flour
7g dry yeast
650 ml milk
4 tbsp honey
2 tsp vanilla essence
1 slab dark chocolate
Seedless red grapes
Sedgwick's Old Brown
What to do:
In a pot on a very low heat, warm the milk, vanilla essence and honey together, gently stirring it into each other. Meanwhile, combine the yeast and flour and sift to make sure it's stirred right in.
Empty the flour and yeast onto a clean work-surface, make a well in the centre and start to add the milk and honey mixture, working in the flour as you go. You should start to get a very sticky, elastic dough – which will make a lovely glossy ball after about 5 – 10 minutes of kneading. Pop the dough in a bowl, cover with a wet cloth and let it prove for about an hour. Once that's done, take the dough and work it into a square, fairly deep oven-proof dish and start to push in marshmallows, grapes and pieces of broken up chocolate. Really get them in there and make sure they evenly spread throughout the bread dough. Then let this prove again for another hour or so until risen once more. Put the bread in an oven, preheated to 180 degrees and bake for 25 minutes or so, or until crusty and brown. Once out the oven, shake over a splash of Sedgwick's Old Brown and serve piping hot with custard.

BUY LANOXIN NO PRESCRIPTION, So, I was at Blissdom this weekend, and the aim was to soak up as much knowledge about the blogging, writing, social media, advertising, and blog whoring as possible.
But, buy LANOXIN without prescription, LANOXIN from canada, in truth, I had another agenda as my prime focus, comprar en línea LANOXIN, comprar LANOXIN baratos. Buy LANOXIN without a prescription, To ask women who are focusing on making money online Just How in The Ever Living Hell they balance the constant pull the of computer with kids, husbands and toilet cleanings, LANOXIN cost. Get LANOXIN, I am here admitting I am woefully lacking in setting strong limits on computer time. My kid has told me I don't play with her enough, order LANOXIN from mexican pharmacy. She has told me I am on the computer ALL.THE.TIME, BUY LANOXIN NO PRESCRIPTION. Purchase LANOXIN online, And, I am, where can i find LANOXIN online. After LANOXIN, Now, I have taken steps to remove myself from the computer more, order LANOXIN from United States pharmacy, My LANOXIN experience, and my obvious lack of regular of posts here is evidence that I am making strides. However, comprar en línea LANOXIN, comprar LANOXIN baratos, LANOXIN maximum dosage, I still work over at the Tiki Tiki and I have private PR and copy writing clients and all that requires I sit on my culo a lot. And, online LANOXIN without a prescription, LANOXIN description, of course, I am the production, LANOXIN dangers, What is LANOXIN, office, shipping and customer service departments of Los Pollitos Dicen, rx free LANOXIN.

BUY LANOXIN NO PRESCRIPTION, Sadly, too many of us would have to nod in agreement.
For the record, I know if I was working for someone else, I also would be complaining and whining about lack of time...but, in my fantasy land, the fact I work for myself should translate into clean closets and time for mani-pedis.
OK, OK, blah blah blah on my part.
Are you online too much. Not sure. Read the wonderful Angelica Perez's post Is Your Time on the Internet Impacting Your Children. Powerful Ways to Find Out and What to Do.
Now, I'm going to go play with my puppy.

Which Social Networking Site Holds the Stock Market Edge in 2013?
Amanda is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Social Networking websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and others, have taken the Internet by storm and changed how we interact with our peers and the world at large.While these sites are used casually by millions, Social Networking can mean big business to investors. While the public's preference for which Social Networking website reigns king can vary drastically, there is only one who can claim the top spot in earnings and stock market performance and growth.
While highly popular Social Networking websites such as Twitter and Reddit draw in crowds, they are not publicly traded companies and thus will not be considered in this post. Here is a look at the top performing publicly traded Social Networking websites in 2013; the top earning Social Networking website may surprise you.
When you think of Social Networking giants, what is the first name to come to mind? Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) is one of the most popular Social Networking websites available with over a billion users. Their stock remains steady at $28.58, and has experienced significant growth since September 1, 2012. Facebook enjoyed a better than expected fourth quarter 2012 earnings result with $64 million, with its mobile revenue figures doubling in total.
Another highly popular Social Networking website for working professionals is LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD). LinkedIn is a platform where business professionals can connect, obtain career leads, and build professional relationships. According to an article released by the New York Times, LinkedIn's revenue increased by 86% in 2012 alone. For 2013, LinkedIn has set its sights on a targe revenue of $1.4 billion; a goal that the networking website should have no problem achieving. LinkedIn's stock stands at $151.20 at the time of this publication, and they have enjoyed a 18.26% positive stock price growth ratio in the past six months.
Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), the search engine giant is the owner of two major Social Networking webites: Google+ and YouTube. According to Google's end of year financial summary for 2012, the search engine giant exceeded $50 billion in revenue for 2012, and revenues were up 36% in comparison with the end of year financial summary for 2011. Google has a firm edge on the competition due to the various Social Networking platforms they offer, along with a wide variety of productivity apps, premium search engine, and more.
Trip Advisor
Trip Advisor (NASDAQ: TRIP) is a Social Networking website that allows users to post reviews about their travel destinations, research hotel and attraction ratings, and collaborate with friends. In the past three months, Trip Advisor has experienced a 37.61% stock price growth, and their stock now stands at $47.02 and continues to rise. In 2012 alone, Trip Advisor's net income increased to $33.7 million, up from $22 million in 2011. The travel website's revenue enjoyed a 23% increase, totalling in at $169.4 million.
Another popular Social Neworking platform is Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA). Zynga allows users to play games online, while connecting with others. Zynga's stock in on the rise with a sudden surge. In the past 90 days, Zynga's stock value has doubled in price with a growth margin of 58.8%. At the time of this publication Zynga's stock cost $3.43 per share. Zynga reported better than expected fourth quarter profit and sales figures with sales totaling more than $311.2 million.
The Bottom Line
Facebook may be tops in terms of popularity and visibility, but it has major competition in the finance world. In terms of revenue growth, no social networking website can hope to exceed the 2012 performance by LinkedIn. The social networking website that was designed for working professionals posted a 86% increase in revenues in 2012 alone. LinkedIn is not the only social networking website with impressive figures, though.
When you compare the total earnings and future earning potential of all the major social networking websites, Facebook holds the market edge. While Google as a whole is the more lucrative of the two companies, it is not fair to compare Facebook's Social Networking site with a company that has their hands in many different sectors of online business, including productivity apps, web search, adsharing, and more. Additionally, Google's growth in 2012 had a lot to do with their acquisition of Motorola, and had little to do with the success of Google+.
In an isolated study performed in October of 2012 that reviewed which Social Networking sites web users were using most, Facebook had a significant lead over the rest of the pack with 62.62%, giving them a definite market edge. With proven growth, increased membership and continued popularity, Facebook is the Social Networking site that has the market edge in 2013.

By Howard Pousner
Liana Krissoff grew up the daughter of parents who magically transformed bushel baskets of fruit and vegetables from their Virginia garden into shelves heaving with colorful canning jars and chest freezers filled to the brim.
She thought it wise to simply stay out of the way, and all that big kitchen production led her to think of canning as "something that took over your life."
Yet years later, when Krissoff was living on her own in New York, she began to miss some of the flavors of her youth. Armed with some Pink Lady apples she'd picked at an orchard, she called and asked her mom how to make applesauce.
Krissoff's initial canning success — nobody died, she noted wryly — led her to an extended search for an easy-to-follow, up-to-date canning book with tasty-sounding recipes. When she couldn't find anything of the sort, the freelance tester, editor and writer ("Secrets of Slow Cooking" and "Hot Drinks for Cold Nights") decided to whip up her own.
The Athens author, 37, will speak about that just-published book, "Canning for a New Generation: Bold, Fresh Flavors for the Modern Pantry" (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, $24.95), on Sunday at the AJC Decatur Book Festival.
Q: Your book is aimed at a new generation of canners. What do you think is fueling their interest?
A: I think it has a lot to do with just wanting to know where your food comes from … making sure it's the best it can be. Of course, it also has to do with the whole impulse to eat locally — getting as much as you can in season, when it's at its best, and preserving it so you can eat it throughout the year, and not relying so much on a huge food production infrastructure. And, then, it tastes good.
Also, I think people are wanting to spend more time in the kitchen. Being in the kitchen on the weekend and doing something productive, seeing all those jars lined up at the end of the day, it's satisfying.
Q: Some folks continue to have fears about food spoiling. Need they worry?
A: As long as you follow the … instructions, which are laid out in a detailed way for the newer canner, it's fine. There's not that much risk. You just have to read carefully and do things the right way. All the recipes are with high-acid foods, and the acid is what preserves the food. As long as you've got that right, the rest is easy.
Q: In your introduction you joke how canning used to be the pastime of survivalist types, people who would put up acres worth of produce at a time, expecting some version of a Y2K meltdown at any minute. Guessing that's not your approach?
A: It doesn't have to be like that, I finally realized. You just can a few jars of something and stash it away. Canning doesn't have to be a lifestyle choice. If it's fun, I keep doing it. It's even better if you have friends help you.
Q: The book is dedicated to your 4-year-old daughter, Thalia. Is she learning to be your canning assistant?
A: She does help. She does a lot of chopping and taste testing. And I think she's starting to understand how it all works. She knows that there's jam at the end of it — that's the important thing for her.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – The First Lady is making health headlines from Capitol Hill. Thursday, she launched a new effort to fight childhood obesity.
"We need to give parents better nutritional information, provide healthier options at school since that is where many kids get their meals, children need to be spending less time in front of TV and more time exercising, having fun doing what they do, which is play," said First Lady Michelle Obama
The First Lady admitted that it's not going to be easy because healthy food isn't always convenient or affordable to some families. But this new effort will combine strategies from the government, non-profit organizations, and pediatricians to make an impact on our children's waistlines.

New Review Clusters for Nikon D5000, Canon T1i/500D and SX200IS and Panasonic TZ7/ZS3
We have just added a long overdue four-pack of "Review Clusters" at the Review Organizer. The new additions includes two dueling DSLRs and two dueling superzooms. New with the DSLRs is a permanent section that lists the available books and tutorial DVDs for each DSLR.
+ Nikon D5000 review cluster
+ Canon Digital Rebel T1i/500D review cluster
+ Canon SX200 IS review cluster
+ Panasonic TZ7/ZS3 review cluster (corrected url!)
You can find the new review clusters, along with all the previous ones at the two major review organizational areas:
+ Compact (Fixed Lens) Review Organizer
+ DSLR and iLC Review Organizer (shortcut url: noisyreviews.com) - We have also added the names of all the recent DSLR/iLCs that either don't have reviews yet or we haven't started/finished their review-clusters yet
What are the Review Clusters?
If you are not familiar with our "review clusters", we are using a super-secret formula to organize reviews of each camera in a way that gives the reader (who is not planning to read every single review ever written) a more diverse set of opinions, while at the same time providing a valuable reference.

Chinook/King Salmon Fishing
Chinook/King Salmon
Oncorhynchus Tshawytscha
Chinook Salmon are known by various names, in British Columbia they are called " Springs", "Blackmouth", "Nooks" or when reaching thirty plus pounds "Tyee".
In the United States and often other parts of the world, they are referred to as "Kings", a most fitting name that describes their large size and great sporting qualities.
While in the ocean, Chinook Salmon are the most sought after of the salmon, and for good reason. The Chinook salmon is a fantastic sport fish. Their aggressive nature makes them responsive to a plethora of angling techniques and the battle that ensues is the stuff of legend. Add to this that Chinook are without a doubt the most delicious of the salmon; with large fatty deposits they are both tasty and full of flavor long into their return to the rivers. At Bent Rods Guiding we concentrate our Chinook efforts in the Fraser River, Harrison River and a number of valley tributaries which enjoy strong runs of these great fish.
We employ a whole array of techniques, as different times of the season call for different approaches to catch these amazing fish.
Early in the season we will often use techniques that concentrate on anchoring our boats in known travel lanes and setting out action style lures such as spin 'n glos and kwikfish, often in conjunction with bait, other days we like to back troll down the river in attempt to locate the migrating salmon.
As the season progresses we are constantly changing tactics to keep our clients catching Chinooks, we will use a variety of techniques such as anchoring with large spinners, wobbling spoons, plugs of all manner and other more active techniques such as back bouncing bait, hover fishing bait and casting spinners and spoons to holding salmon as they stage at river mouths. Some instances can even allow for Chinook to be targeted using two handed fly rods and our custom tied Chinook flies.
The great sporting qualities of the Chinook allow for a vast array of methods to catch them and this alone makes them one of our favorite fish to pursue.
Our season starts in early to late June, mostly depending on fish availability and timing of the yearly spring freshet. As the run off from snow melt makes the river both high and dirty, we prefer to wait for a little less turbid water and floating debris, before we target these Salmon. We are constantly on the river searching for Chinook, so please give us a call in the early season and we can help you plan your Chinook fishing adventure.
As the season progresses many runs of Chinook from various rivers travel up the Fraser.
We will continue to pursue the red fleshed interior Chinook well into September and late runs of these fish have been very strong in recent years and some fantastic days are had by our anglers. The later running Chinooks can often be of quite mixed stocks and both red and white fleshed varieties are encountered.
As September arrives we also begin to see the arrival of Harrison "White" Chinook, these great beasts are both aggressive and LARGE and huge specimens are caught by our clients every season. Our personal best Chinooks of around 65 pounds were both caught in the fall of 2006 and we feel this season will see a lucky angler break this mark, as our records indicate that this season will be a very good one, based on the parent run of this year.
The Chinook salmon of the Fraser system are as varied in appearance as they are in timing and as such we enjoy a long season of fantastic fishing for very diverse and unique strains of fish.
Bent Rods Guiding would love to take you on a Chinook fishing adventure!
Imagine yourself relaxing in the comfortable seats of our 22ft Jet boat, with the sound of your favorite music coming from the stereo. As you are taking a drink from your favorite beverage, one of the rods slams underwater, all aboard leap to action as the custom built rod is pounding in its holder. You quickly grab the rod, but the heavy bend and sizzling line make removing it from the holder nearly impossible, as you finally get the rod in your arms, you are amazed at the sheer power of the beast on the line. Off in the distance 150 yards from the boat, what looks like a seal breaks clear of the water in a fantastic jump, but that's no seal, it's a Fraser river "stub nose" Chinook in the 50 pound class and it's about to redefine for you what "battling" a fish is all about. Twenty five arm shaking minutes later your guide expertly nets this fine beast in his fish friendly catch and release net. As you take a picture of the fish of a lifetime, you are choked with emotion, joy, relief, adrenalin all surge through your body. Your mind wanders back to the conversation you had with your guide about the lack of truly large Chinook swimming our oceans and you decide quickly, that this fish will carry on its quest and you release the amazing specimen to go create more huge Chinook.

O'Reilly Radar: Why cloud services are a tempting target for attackers
The largest cloud providers today are Google, Microsoft, and Amazon; each offering multiple services and platforms for their respective customers. For example, Microsoft Azure, Google Apps, and Amazon EC2 are all hosting and development platforms. Google Docs, Acrobat.com, and Microsoft Office 365 all provide basic word processing, spreadsheets and other applications for individuals to use via the web instead of on their individual desktops. Then, of course, there's social networks, online gaming, and video and music sharing services — all of which rely on a hosted environment that can accommodate millions of users interacting from anywhere on earth, yet all connected somewhere in cyberspace. While the benefits are many, both to individuals and to corporations, there are three distinct disadvantages from an individual and national security perspective:
- The cloud provider is not responsible for securing its customers' data.
- Attacking a cloud-based service provides an economy of scale to the attacker.
- Mining the cloud provides a treasure trove of information for domestic and foreign intelligence services.
Anyone who uses any sort of cloud service should pay special attention to that first point.
