Aqua Bound Paddles Sting Ray Review
Wednesday, February 1st, 2012The carbon-fiberglass blend shaft and carbon/plastic blade make the Aqua Bound Sting Ray the right choice for those who plan to cover some distance and want to reduce fatigue. I love the feel of this paddle in the water; it is high performing but allows for more of a relaxed paddle stroke, meaning I can still cover some miles with horizontal strokes. I usually recommend the Aqua Bound Sting Ray Paddle to those who want to upgrade from their first entry level paddle, but are not ready to invest $300-$400. This gives you the feel of high-end, with a middle of the road price. Hard to beat that!
Order this paddle on Tumalo Creek's online store, or read more specs and our official description. You can also check out Drew's quick and simple demo video below:

A private graveside service will be held at a later date for longtime area resident Viola Bernice Taylor, 90, who passed away on June 9, 2013, at the Providence Long Term Care Center. She and her, husband, Albert, farmed in the Loon Lake/Deer Lake area for many years. They also owned and operated second-hand stores in Oregon, Idaho and Arizona and motels in Idaho and Oregon. She was preceded in death by her husband, Albert; and one daughter, Leila L. Marshall.
A pair of former Riverside High School softball standouts completed their second seasons with the Whitworth University team. Infielder Peyton McMahon played 18 games this season and went 6 for 10 at the plate with a home run and 3 RBI. Pitcher Megan Fisher, an exchange student at RHS from Cranbrook, B.C., saw action in 23 games (12 as a starter). Fisher finished with a 3-3 record and a 7.73 ERA in 71 innings pitched. The Pirates finished the season with a 23-20 record.
Dorothy "Dee" (Bowers) Smith, a longtime resident of Deer Park, was called heavenward on Saturday, June 8, 2013. Dee had four children: Rueben (Dale) Bowers, Bob Bowers, Carol McDaniel, and Linda Gilbert; 14 grandchildren, R.D. Bowers Jr. (deceased), Richard Bowers, Cyrena Lehman, Dawn James Robert Bowers, Amanda Bowers, Chad Bowers, Rachelle Bowers (deceased), Mike Gembala, Matt Gembala, Troy Bowers, Whitney Bowers-Steinauer; and 24 great-grandchildren.
In a surprising move, the Deer Park School Board has decided to go with Curriculum Director Travis Hanson as its new superintendent. Hanson will replace Becky Berg on July 1. The school board had offered the job to Spokane School District 81's Executive Director of Secondary School's Jon Swett last month, but could not come to a contract agreement.
David Lee Kendall, 70, passed away on Nov. 23, 2012. He was born on Sept. 11, 1942, in Spokane to Lee and Evelyn Kendall. After graduating from Deer Park High School in 1960, he attended Columbia Basin Junior College and Whitworth University. He received his Master's Degree in Sports Medicine from Indiana University in Bloomington. He was at the University of Pacific in Stockton, Calif., as instructor and head trainer for six year. He married Elaine C. "Becky" Beck on June 10, 1967 in Stockton.
Alfred Paul "Bud" Christoffersen passed away in his home on the morning of Oct. 13, 2012; his wife Patricia (Bakken) of 52 years was by his side. Bud was born in Lake Preston, S.D., on Dec. 12, 1930, and resided there with his family until the passing of his parents, Alfred, a World War I veteran, and Pauline (Hansen) Christoffersen. Since Bud was only 15 years old when his parents died, he was sent to Montana to live and work for relatives and to complete high school.
Charles was born in Fort Lewis, Wash., to Clyde and Charlotte Scott on June 29, 1941. He passed away in his favorite chair at home. Charles attended Rogers High School and after graduation joined the Navy. Upon returning from his service in the Navy, Charles obtained a position with the Western Fruit Express Railroad where he worked for 27 ½ years.
Elmer Roy Johnson, 79, a longtime resident of Milan/Chattaroy, passed away on Wednesday, May 29, 2013. He is the dear father and father-in-law of Jomn and Theresa Johnson of Nine Mile Falls, Marci Johnson and Curtis Jacobsen of Hamilton, Mont., and Lorna Johnson and Doug Barnes of Curlew, Wash. His sisters are Karen (Richard) Doty of Spokane Valley and Elaine Van Horne of Newman Lake. He enjoyed 13 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren Roy's dear wife, Janice Arlene Johnson, passed away in 2005.
Joyce LaVerne Ransbottom, 87, a longtime resident of Loon Lake, passed away on May 22, 2013, at Colville. She is the mother and mother-in-law of Tim and Lonnie Ransbottom of Kettle Falls. Joyce has a nephew, Steve Everett, residing in Florida. Her husband, William L. Ransbottom, passed away in 1992. Born in 1925 in Sarasota, Fla., she served on the Loon Lake School Board and was a member of the Loon Lake Historical Society and the Loon Lake Ladies Guild.
It took a Spokane County Superior Court jury less than a day to find Clay Starbuck guilty of murdering his ex-wife, Chanin, in her Deer Park home in December 2011. Starbuck, who took the stand in his own defense on May 29, faces up to life in prison. His defense team said they would appeal the verdict. The jury, which heard closing arguments from both sides and final deliberation instructions on Monday, reached its decision late Tuesday evening.

Posted 3:51 PM 1/11/2013 : Homeowners prepare for chilly temps
TUCSON - Service technicians at Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling are working in overdrive this week with homeowners wanting to service their furnaces in anticipation of this weekend's chilly temperatures.
Alan Puscus says maintenance saves money in the long run, " to spend the money now is well worth it. You know if a fire results from a unit not being looked at you know it's a bigger price to pay."
On Friday, Puscus serviced the outdoor furnace of Barry Hughgart. Puscus found rodents living in the furnace, "if that stuff ignites there's no stopping it. It's actually very dangerous."
Hughgart was not surprised, "the poor things need a place to sleep so it's fine with me," he said.
The filter was also dirty, Puscus recommends changing them every 30 days, "we're stocking up on a bunch of filters, that's another thing that we look out for is dirty filters because that could cause a system to overheat if it doesn't have enough airflow going through it because of a dirty filter that will cause a system to overheat."
Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling is currently offering a ten-point service inspection for $45, money, Puscus says, is well-spent, "my point of view is that you if you have heating and cooling system it should operate the way you want it to work. A lot of people will turn it down slightly to avoid using it so much but again my point of view is that if you have a system that is designed to work under certain conditions it should work properly and you should have it checked out."

'Angel' in clouds captures imagination of south Florida residents
People snap photos of cloud 'angel'

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A message from above? That's what several South Florida residents thought after looking toward the sky on the day a new pope was named.
Most saw what they thought was an angel in the clouds and grabbed their cameras to document the vision.
More Pics: Cloud Angel
For some, it was a clear sign from heaven, maybe a message from God himself, showing his pleasure at the election of the first Latin American as the 267th successor of St. Peter.
Thom George wondered "if Pope Francis ordered that."
"The Pope asked to pray for Him... God answered," was Cat Sunn's reaction.
Although most felt the cloud resembled an angel and was a beautiful sign from above, others saw in the cloud something less angelic.
Cristina Pina thought the cloud resembled a sea monkey. While Steve Massie opined that "seeing shapes and faces in non-human objects is called 'pareidolia.'"
Nick Stanley said saw the dark lord, Lucifer, in the cloud.
Several people sent pictures they captured to WPTV, our Scripps station in West Palm Beach, Fla. Many shared their images which showed different angles of the cloud.
Like a Rorschach inkblot test, the angel cloud means different things to different people. But one thing is clear, it captured the imagination.

NCIS stars Rocky Carroll, Michael Weatherly, Mark Harmon, Cote de Pablo, and Pauley Perrette are seen filming an interview with Mario Lopez for Extra at The Grove in Hollywood last week (April 15). Also spotted from NCIS were Sean Murray and Brian Dietzen.
The season finale of NCIS is scheduled for May 17. Weatherly (aka Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo) told USA TODAY to expect some fireworks:
"We've got agents getting shot, chaos, mayhem and super intrigue. I can tell you that more than one person gets killed. It's epic. It feels to me like old-school NCIS. We've been on the air so long I can say that. To me the season finale evokes the stuff we were doing in Seasons 2 and 3."
Can't wait!

Love harkons but it's buildup versus reward is far too situational. Most of the time its more beneficial just to grab a sheep. I'd like to see the buildup become a bit easier or the mana cost removed or reduced by 75%.
The item is only fitting for hard carrys if you think about its price and the fact its an orb effect to increase damage. The draw backs certainly out way the benefits in my opinion.
From experience I used to buy it on DR, but I buy it less now as I find it just takes my mana way too quickly, same for puppet, scout, madman (insert hard carry here)
What also makes harkons subpar is that heroes have 5.5 magic armour, for 400g you can add vestments thats +5, not only that but headdress / idols adds + 10 magic armour. Not to mention BKB.
Can I also mention that this item is the only counter to void talisman.
To balance harkons out and make it attractive I would start by doing the following.
1) Increasing the cost of vestments to 650 - 700
2) Reduce the mana cost to 25.
3) Increasing the magic armour to 6
4) Increase the damage from 27 to 30 or 35.
1) To cheap for its benefits heroes have 9.5 magic armour from a 400g investment. Players will buy for the sake of it.
2) As an example if you throw 10 auto attacks in a fight youve lost 750 mana. Where as if it cost 25 mana you would lose 250 mana.
-750 mana is a huge loss for non intel heroes.
3) Harkons is a late game item due to its build up. Tanks in this meta will easily have over 15 magic armour. -5 is hardly effective to counter.
4) As above 27 damage is not that huge on a hard carry, hence why shield breaker is more common.
Just my 2cents.
Remove true strike from Savage mace, add true strike to harkon's.
- Will increase the viability of wingbow
- Will hardly affect the effectivity/pickup rate of savage mace
- Will make harkon's viable
Huge and awesome fix.
The answer to this is a micro-buff like they did with Puppet Master back in the day, where it doesn't really matter that much but gets people to notice. I suggest a minor attack speed buff.
Lower manacost to something negligible (40 or so). Other than that, it is fine. Maybe...make it not orb effect (let it stack with other orbs), or make it lowest priority orb so you can activate it as you see fit.
Potentially super strong late game, and a logical counter to the increasing emphasis on armor that the metagame seems to be heading towards.
I dunno about this item being bad in itself its just so hard to farm compared to shieldbreaker so maybe a different buildup?
I only go for it on puppet.
One problem with Harkon's is that it was designed because people were asking for an item that increases magic damage, but effectively it is a rightclick dps item.

It's obviously meant as a late game item, I think that's why the mana drain was attached to it in the first place. You usually have to get a sheep/hellflower to sustain it. The problem is that late game every hero that could have had the gold for a shrunken now has one. People are thinking about this the wrong way though, I would like to see it used as a spell amp damage item for NON carries late game. Say a middle pyro that has done well with ganks all game, has his sheep and pk and is now ready to effectively increase the damage of his burt. But this brings up another point, if you are getting it to amp your spell damage why not get shards for a LOT less.
I like the item, I really do but the fact of the nature of it being magic damage and thus doing 0 damage vs bkb makes it extremely situational or at worst a last item slot luxery item. Since there are so few situations where you want it it's hard to think of it when you are shopping for your next item, just doesn't come to mind.
Big misconception is that you have to get this on int heroes, I've seen this item used to great success on swift blade
TL;DR ok item heavily countered by shrunken head, like the idea of -magic armor being added to spells automatically similar to SB.
Yes, that sounds like a balance. Lets nerf everything that is possible + give a uber buff and all will be fine !
Only prob with harkons is the mana cost, reduce it and it will be fine. It would be nice as well to make it toggalble if you want to use harkons on heroes only or creeps as well.
Only reason why comp players arent using harkons are their copy cat behaviours, like many stated before. I remember puppet before nerfs, everytime when i saw savage mace on puppet i was like WTF are they doing ? Hellflower is just superior to SM on int carry in every way (beside maybe countering nh smokebomb). Than finally somebody made a pm with hellflower and whole comp scene stopped taking savage mace(beside some srsly dumb in terms of item pickups) and mass purchuasing HF.
Its same story with harkons, unless smb will pick it up on decently farmed dr and 3hit people, nobody will take it in comp games :/
But i have to admit with 1 thing - 75 mana cost is hard nerfing this item, and thats main reason why we dont see it in mid game. Lowering to 40 is a much needed change which wont unbalance this item.
You guys almost talk like if everyone has 15 to 20 armor late game... Someone even mentioned: with plague's armor on, everyone has 20-25 armor... Yeah, and with DS's ultimate, they can all have 40...
In a ultra late game scenario, I would not even use Harkon as my modifier... I would use Symbol of rage which provides the very best ultra late game modifier... For both the active and the massive lifesteal once teamed up with crazy damage...
That said, I feel like Harkon could just not have a mana cost that it would actually have very little impact on its overall power. It would just be an orb like any other orb and I doubt this is what would all of a sudden make it appear in every game... It sure would give the item a way less annoying side and make it more enjoyable.
Stop using ellipses like that, it looks stupid and makes reading harder. Just a tip.
Symbol of Rage is not the absolute end of discussion best attack modifier, and Harkon's would be absolutely batshit broken if there was no manacost. You're underrating the item way too much.
I guess we could add a 40 mana cost to FrostWolf, a 40 mana cost to Shield breaker, a 25 to any life steal to make it balanced...
This oviously is a troll comment. My point is that I believe the item is powerful but no where as broken as you guys make it sound to be, other wise, we would see this item, would it at least be in pubs games... which currently, I never see.

Protip: "late game" isn't when you decide to give up 15min in.You guys almost talk like if everyone has 15 to 20 armor late game...
Let me spell it out plain for you
Angry people complain about the things I do
I'm not changing direction, I'm stepping my game up
Maintaining my name, the same way I came up.
Truth is, I thought it mattered
I thought that music mattered.
But does it? Bollocks!
Not compared to how people matter.
See, this is what I always thought. I thought this was supposed to be another type of Carry item for those nukers who didnt scale that S2 decided needed to be relevent all game. Say for a Thunderbringer or Pyro. But spellshards seemed to take that Niche away.
I dont have any idea what this item is supposed to do. I see some people say it counters high armor teams but that seems like an odd role for this item. So right now who would ever use this item? An int hero that carries through autoattacks? But in that field its underwhelming because it adds 0 survivability and there are better DPS options out there.
And then there is also the issue of it competing against Guinsoo because of the staff in the recipe. And thats another reason why you wouldnt want to pick this up. 99% of the time if ur getting staff the disable will be the best way to go.
Overall i think this item needs a fairly large overhaul, or atleast re-imagining.
Heres the problem I see. For only a bit more you could have a kuldras. And as an Int carry, Kuldras still gives you DPS (not as much but still), it gives you more survivability in the +10 stats and gives you a hard CC. And similarly Harkons has to compete with Hellflower which is infinitely more buildable, possibly the most buildable DPS item in the game, and has an amp damage silence. There are other more useful items that your int carrys can be building.
Another problem is int carries and other super late game hard carry DPS aren't even being used commonly anymore. The tanky mid game bursty metagame has taken them out of the loop. The heroes harkons was super viable on aren't being used that much. Mainly puppet, who in my opinion needs a pretty big buff to be considered a viable carry again.

CORRECTION: This article has been edited to reflect changes submitted by the county. A human resources contact was added and the age requirement of 21 years old was removed.
WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. - The county announced Thursday it will launch a recruitment drive for candidates interested in taking the Civil Service examination for a correction officer position, according to a statement.
"This is a great time for candidates who are interested in becoming a correction officer," Commissioner of Correction Kevin M. Cheverko said. He started as a correction officer in 1985 and moved up the ranks to his current position.
A correction officer will start with a base salary of $50,125 and must have a high school diploma. Candidates must pass the civil service examination as well as other entry-level requirements.
Candidates interested in taking the exam on April 14 must file by Feb. 10. The list of qualified candidates will then be used for the next four years as the county expects numerous openings due to retirements, the statement said.
Those interested can access the exam's study guide and application at the county website. They may also contact Patricia Griffith in Human Resources at (914) 995-8644. In addition, for career questions, they may contact Sgt. Pam Marable of the Correction department's Community Affairs Unit at (914) 231-1370 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Marable said that being a correction officer takes more than watching over prisoners, as officers can specialize in certain areas.
"I take a lot of pride in my profession," she said. "Correction officers play a role in showing that there are choices and consequences in life. No day is ever the same and the work is hard, but the salary and benefits are great."
The Department of Correction is the largest law enforcement agency in Westchester County.

Great Product A+Pros: This product works well with my PSP and I received it in a very timely manner. Cons: None so far but I have not owned it very long Did you find this review helpful? |
Will never buy againPros: Can't see any. Cons: Dead after 4 months of very rare use. Unable to replace outside the standard return policy. Did you find this review helpful? |
psp memory stickPros: Sony claims there play station line only does everything with this much memory my PSP can now store tons of music, videos, pictures, games and more now I truly can use my PSP for anything without the bother of carrying and changing multiple memory sticks Cons: My PSP's boot time has become noticeably longer but not so much so that it is bothersome or a problem. good things come to those that are patient any how. Other Thoughts: I am running a PSP 2000 model Did you find this review helpful? |
Great CardPros: I've read the problems some people have had with this card, and I have had zero, even constant swapping to copy saves, install games onto the new card, everything is perfect on this card. Will buy again if I need another. Cons: Like all memory cards, packaging is way too big for the size of the card, but not a reason to downrate, gotta protect from thievery in a retail store. Other Thoughts: I don't understand why people buy the 2 or 4GB cards, get a larger card so you can keep one card for all your games, and be able to fit music and a video or two on it. Did you find this review helpful? |
Another DOA Lexar productPros: Low Price for a lot of Storage Cons: Seems to be a high instance of these cards going dead within minutes of initial use or simply being dead straight out of the box. Other Thoughts: I had this card for about 20 minutes before it stopped working. I took it out of the package and put it in my computer to double check the card and run some transfer tests. It completed all the tests with average marks but within seconds of putting it in my PSP it froze up. I had to pull the card and reset my PSP to get it working again. I tried loading the card back into my PC to figure out what the problem was and my PC wouldn't even recognize the card in my reader. Tried everything I could to get it working without success. RMA'd the next day and Newegg was great about the return. Did you find this review helpful? |
"You get what you pay for"Pros: Price Point. Cons: Product worked for 10 minutes. Continued copying videos to the memory stick, and it failed. It cannot be formatted using Windows format utility, or through a command prompt. 1 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good price point for 32 GBPros: This thing is great! It has tons of space and it is pretty responsive. I use it in a PSP-2000 series and already put a DLC game from the PSP network off my wifi @home on it. It should be able to hold a good track-list of music, some ripped DVD's (or downloaded PSP network video), and tons of games and comic books. I like the space and that's the pro. It sure beats the poop out of swapping out my 8GB M2 micro card from my phone all the time with a MS pro duo adapter. It is pre-formatted for sony products and Windows/Linux PC's. File copying was a breeze using my PC card reader. Cons: It is not as responsive as my 8GB M2 micro card in the PSP with an adapter. It isn't too slow, just not as peppy. Other Thoughts: I would buy it again, if the one I have fails within the next 3 years. Did you find this review helpful? |
Do not buy this productPros: $65 in newegg $165 else where Cons: Died first day of using on PSP... Did you find this review helpful? |

The Discovery
The thing looked like a giant meteor, except it seemed to kind of have a magical buzz in the air around it. It was also dark black, and smoke was billowing from it. "What do you think it is, Dad?" Chris asked. "I have no idea. But, I think it may have come from space, and what we heard was the crash," he replied. Chris slowly stretched his arm out to touch it. "No! Chris!" his dad shouted. But it was too late. ZAP! "OUCH!" Chris exclaimed. "Chris," his father yelled. "Chris, are you okay? Speak to me!" Chris was out cold. His father quickly pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed 9-1-1.
Ch. 3
"Ugh... Where am I?" Chris said in a daze. "You're in the hospital," an unknown voice said. "Who are you, and where is my dad?" Chris questioned. "I'm the nurse, and your parents are in the lobby. I should go tell them that you're up. I'll be right back," the nurse said as she left the room. "I wonder why the meteor thing gave me such a shock… maybe it was magic or something. It's probably not. Eww, it smells like sick people in here," Chris thought silently. "I wonder if I'll be okay," "Here he is Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence, he's doing fine and he just woke up." The nurse said as she guided Chris's parents into the hospital room 2714. "Oh, Chris, we're so glad you're okay," his parents said as they hugged him. "We were so worried. The doctors just need to make sure that nothing's wrong, so you may have to stay here for the night." "Okay Mom," Chris said.

The bank confirmed early on Wednesday that it is in late-stage discussions with these authorities.
In a Tuesday memorandum to RBS staff, Chief Executive Stephen Hester said he and Chairman Philip Hampton are prepared to "explain what went wrong, and what we have done to fix it."
Mr. Hester called the bank's involvement in interest-rate rigging investigation "the biggest disappointment of our legacy."
The Source
As part of the anticipated deal, RBS's Japanese unit is expected to plead guilty to a crime in the U.S., although the Justice Department isn't expected to charge any individuals, according to one of the people briefed on the talks. Another likely casualty of the settlement is expected to be John Hourican, the head of RBS's investment bank. RBS is expected to announce his departure as part of the settlement, according to the person briefed on the deal.
But this latest agreement came with a behind-the-scenes divergence in tactics driven by differences between the U.S. and U.K. legal systems, the people said.
The legal tension, which hasn't been previously reported, is important because more than a dozen banks and brokerage firms remain under scrutiny over allegations that executives and traders tried to manipulate the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, and other benchmarks affecting trillions of dollars in mortgages and other financial contracts.
The CFTC, a civil regulator, has flown investigators to London to take part in interviews led by its British counterpart, the FSA, with traders and brokers, the people said.

But U.S. criminal prosecutors have been forced to sit out some of these interviews, for fear of damaging their own investigation, according to the people close to the probe.
The Justice Department is shunning interviews conducted using the British regulator's powers to compel individuals to give evidence, the people said.
The reason lies in the Fifth Amendment. The right to avoid self-incrimination, which lacks any direct equivalent in British law, means a judge could throw out any case U.S. prosecutors filed against someone that used information from interviews the person was forced to attend.

Indeed, prosecutors could jeopardize their case simply be looking at transcripts of the London interviews, said the people close to the probe. A legal doctrine known as "fruit of the poisonous tree" means cases can be contaminated if they use leads—"fruit"—from an illegal source, such as an interview that breaches Fifth Amendment rights, according to legal experts.
This legal headache hasn't stopped regulators from cooperating on many aspects of the ongoing investigation, including those involving RBS, UBS and Barclays.
U.S. prosecutors have attended some interviews at the FSA's headquarters in London's Canary Wharf involving traders who have agreed to provide information voluntarily, according to people close to the investigation. FSA investigators have also flown to New York take part in some Justice Department interrogations, the people said.
Dozens of traders and brokers have been fired or suspended by the firms caught up in the probe, although the numbers involved vary significantly by firm.
UBS has fired 18 of the 40 or so people said by regulators to have been involved in attempted rate manipulation, executives of the Swiss bank told a British parliamentary committee last month. Barclays said last year that it has disciplined 13 people, five of whom have been fired. RBS has fired at least four traders and suspended at least three more, according to one person familiar with the matter.

It isn't yet clear how many of the individuals let go by the banks are likely to end up facing criminal charges.
The expected lack of any U.S. criminal charges against individuals in the RBS announcement contrasts with December's action against UBS, when U.S. prosecutors filed criminal charges against two former employees of the Swiss bank.
Days before the UBS deal, prosecutors from the U.K.'s Serious Fraud Office arrested one of the traders later charged in the U.S., along with two employees of British brokerage firm R.P. Martin Holdings Ltd.
U.S. prosecutors have said they are seeking the extradition of the two former UBS traders. But legal experts said the Justice Department may have to wait in line. "If the British prosecute, [the U.S. is] not going to see those defendants until that prosecution's finished," said Samuel Buell, a criminal law professor at Duke University in Durham, N.C.

This Year's Big Read
The 2013 Big Read is Old School by Tobias Wolff.
Wolff's first novel is based on his own past. The story follows a young man during his senior year at a New England private school in the early 1960's. The unnamed narrator is full of ambition to become a writer and dreams of winning a literary contest held three times a year at the school in order to interview a famous author. It is experiences with his dean, other students, and literary greats such as Hemingway and Frost that let the narrator find the balance between tradition and ambition.
The American boy with a Jewish heritage comes from humble beginnings in Seattle. He finds himself longing to blend with the wealth and heritage of the Anglo population that fills the New England school. His desire to win the contest brings new struggles as he is accused of plagiarism for his short story.
This coming of age story follows a young man trying to find his place and fulfill his dreams of being a writer. Through his development themes of tradition, class, and self-identity are explored. Old School is a novel that celebrates American literature while at the same tells a heartwarming coming of age story.

The job market is growing, but it is growing fastest among the lower–paid jobs, according to an analysis by the National Employment Law Project.
"Clearly it is too early in the recovery to predict whether these trends will continue. But these findings do suggest that for unemployed workers, as well as for those seeking to move up in the labor market or entering it for the first time, the current distribution of job opportunities has deteriorated, compared to before the recession," NELP said. (Click on image to enlarge.)
Read the full report HERE.
Did you miss these other recent stories on jobs and the economy:
I'd be curious to know if this trend is similar to other recessions we have had in the past? Maybe this is a "normal" part of a slow recovery like we are seeing now. Either way though, job growth is better than no jobs at all. I mean even if you start off on the lower end of the scale your odds are good you will get moved up to the next level/position if your good at what you do.
**Waiting for the usual post: THEIR ARE NO JOBS!!!!** /S
Things are getting better. What we need now is for job growth to get to the point where employers stop precluding the long term unemployed (6 months or more) from consideration.
Yeah, I'm tired of hearing over 50, educated and experienced. You're effed. If you're in the aforementioned category it's best to start a home-based business just to fill in the gap on the resume' and maybe make a few bucks too. It can't stay this bad forever, can it?
"Normal" and comparisons to the past are useless in today's flat global landscape, looking at the stagnant mid-level and declining high end many of the anecdotal insights of the paradigm shift bear true. Fact is as much work as can be quietly outsourced to places with dirt floors and chickens roaming around the broadband router will continue to strengthen bottom lines and deprive the hopeful of any meaningful "recovery".
Man, that post made me depressed..lol. I hope you are wrong what a bleak outlook you have for the future.
I'd like to be proven wrong but heard from an inside source a year ago about IBM shifting just under 500 (or whatever arbitrary cap separates public announcements from internal realignments) positions per month overseas. Govt. spending should have been in line with receipts half a decade ago but instead we must now all bear the brunt. Somali Pirates, Eurasian hackers and Central American cartels offer more opportunity than kids will find on Monster these days. And with the only tangible benefit of Facebooks IPO being revolutionary food riot's it obvious we have not seen anything yet.
Welcome to Obamas America
because things were so different under Dumbya. /sarcasm
well i dont remember a 9.5% unemployment rate for two years and going strong under Bush.
That's when the military was on a hiring spree. Now with a lot of soldiers not reenlisting, more HS grads choosing not to pursue higher education, undocumented immigrants working under the table, and experienced professionals seeking to reenter a competitive job market than ever before, the unemployment rate will continue to be stressed for a very long time.
I'm happy that you have pointed out that the new jobs that have been created are for the most part low paying but why didn't you mention that the 1 million jobs created wasn't enough to keep up with populatin growth.
the new world economy
welcome to the new/future America
80 percent living hand to mouth trying to make a living selling something to the 20 percent
no more middle class
Let's just make sure & thank the next piasa that doesn't speak English, that actually has a job that should have been ours. Due to the major ethnic climate change, that we real Americans have to deal with over the past 30 years. I knew this was going to happen when I was in high school in the early 90′s. It's really plain & easy to see. Our country's infrastructure & our quality of living has dramatically gone down each decade. They have replaced us in many fields, but don't you notice the quality & body of work that they bring, is barley 1/2 the comprehension level of a real American worker. We had to dumb down our public education system so they can keep up. Anyone with an IQ over 100 would understand that translate into the job field. There is no way to refute or disagree with me. If you do you are part of the problem & I can't help you out.
Remember Bush the big spender. Obama has increased spending by 1 trillion a year. Can some liberal pease tell me what we are getting for our extra 1 trillion. I know that it isn't helping the poor because the number of people living below the poverty line and the number of people on food stamps are the highest EVER.
Welcome to the New America.
Not only will you compete for jobs against illegal aliens, but also compete for the pitiful wages that they help bring.
The party is over. 100% defined contribution plans for everyone.
For arguments sake, can we assume that the service economy is the new reality and that many businesses in order to stay competitive have bailed out of CA and taken the skilled, higher paid jobs with it?
Nothing wrong with a service business, I have a small business I run that is computer service at your home & I've done pretty well. Lot's of great service work & businesses out there. Why do so many folks bash the service industry's?
Nothing is wrong with the service business. Especially, if you own one such as yourself.
Techie, when most people think of the "service" industry, they're thinking of food service, janitors, retail clerks and other similar, unskilled jobs.
You provide a skilled service, much like the HVAC guy I have out twice a year to do the preventive maintenance on my air conditioner and heater. Big difference between a specialized and in-demand skill like yours and a janitor who doesn't even need to read in English, since the labes on most industrial cleaning products are now printed in Spanish.
@Bunny Slayer
Thank you for the clarification. =)
Many of the high paid companies left CA because they can make more money by leaving. They leave and go to another state that has a lower wage base. the company gets the work done just as fast and just as good for less money.
you are so right. It would have absolutely nothing to do with the outlandish regulations that California puts on the businesses themselves, now would it.
Not to mention those lovely taxes, fees, regulatory costs, permits, etc.
Since when is this news?
The jobs are out there, but they don't pay enough to survive for most Americans; if you have a home, or children, you can't work most of the low-paying jobs offered because it won't be enough to make end's meat.
well then I guess we better brace for a huge homeless explosion.
That's right, after which the second Civil War will break out in this country, pitting rich vs. poor. This one, though, will make the 19th century Civil War this country had look like a garden party in comparison.
Start preparing to head for the hills.
"make ends meet".
Companies that used to pay a decent living wage laid their people off and now hiring others to do the same work for half the price or less. So many people who have been lucky and kept their jobs are non-stop complaining about people being out of work for so long. They expect people that lost their jobs and paid their dues by putting years under their belt to do the same job for peanuts now. So what if you're a carpenter that spent 15+ years mastering your trade, or if you have a contractors license. You're now expected to work for $12 an hour instead of $25 or more. Why? because they can find an illegal to do it for $10. They don't care what the job looks like when it's done. As long as it gets done and doesn't fall down before they collect their check.
A good friend of mine is a millionaire and always used to tell me "Remember somebody out there will always do your job better, faster, & cheaper". so you must compete with that.
Amen brother.
unfortunately that is now called life.
The problem is companies are hiring at lower wages which makes it difficult for people on unemployment. Yes difficult to accept a job that pays less than what they are getting on unemployment. We need the job market that offers wages that make it possible to get a paycheck larger than what is given on unemployment.
I know it doesn't seem like it now, but eventually the tables will turn. Skilled workers (especially in white collar jobs) will once more be in high demand and employers will be competing for the better, more skilled employees. Granted, this scenario is about 18-24 months away, but it is coming. I just hope that we can make it until then.
You cannot redistribute your way to prosperity.
The more you tax and regulate entrepreneurial activity, the less jobs and opportunities are created.
You can't import 30 million unskilled, illiterate immigrants into your country, pay them to have babies, subsidize their lifestyles and expect this to have a postive impact on your job market.
When a majority of Americans learn their basic economics, we can start to move forward again.
Until then, you have your Marxist president and now you get to live through your Marxist economics lesson.
Some say all things starts in LITTLE. Little by little. In business, starting from low salary, will eventually become bigger by the time it gets its chances.

Charles Spurgeon on December 24, 1854:
Feast, Christians, feast; you have a right to feast. Go to the house of feasting to-morrow, celebrate your Saviour's birth; do not be ashamed to be glad; you have a right to be happy. Solomon says, "Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment."
"Religion never was designed
To make your pleasures less."Recollect that your Master ate butter and honey. Go your way, rejoice tomorrow, but in your feasting, think of the Man in Bethlehem; let him have a place in your hearts, give him the glory, think of the virgin who conc…

Last week we released our end-of-year mission update. Here's a version with Spanish subtitles that you might want to share with Spanish speaking friends.
As well, you can read Pastor John's letter (available only in English) where he takes a look forward into the future and what we're hoping to accomplish at Desiring God.
Desiring God exists to spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples through Jesus Christ, especially by focusing on the truth, and its implications, that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.
We want to spread that truth and all of its amazingly God-exalting, practical implications everywhere in the world. So when the world passes beyond the seven billion population mark, we look at the 15 million or so people that checked us out last year and say, hmmm, that's about 0.21%. And we say: There is some work to be done here. And we aim to do it as hard and as wide as we can.
We want to multiply lan…

It's three times the insanity and intense stunting action! This thrilling track set features three loops, two motorized boosters, and one ultimate crash zone, so kids can stage the ultimate races! Enhance play with the free Hot Wheels Powerport™ app on an iPad® (not included) to bring five different virtual worlds to life!
Product Highlights
It's fast-paced frenzy and multi-track madness like you've never seen before! This exciting HOT WHEELS® TRIPLE TRACK TWISTER™ Track Set triples the action with three tracks that loop (one even twists!) and merge into one ultra-daring crash zone. The set provides endless racing and stunting play, plus an opportunity to digitally bring the track to life!
The triple track set includes one die-cast vehicle, but boys can launch additional vehicles (sold separately) for more and more mayhem! Use the dual motorized boosters to keep racing through the three loops, which vary in height and shape — and are built for speed and gravity-defying moves! The excitement builds to a frenzy as vehicles whip around the course. Which car will make it through? Which will smash in crushing defeat?
Two different levers let kids control the risk and nonstop action. Hit the red diverter to send your vehicle speeding on a definite collision course — for high-octane crashing chaos! Or give your vehicle a chance by blasting through the blue course with turns and trapdoors. Cars will race back around to start the stunting thrills all over again!
The HOT WHEELS® TRIPLE TRACK TWISTER™ Track Set comes with an attachable iPad stand and new glyph technology, which lets boys use their iPad (not included) to race through five virtual worlds — Team Hot Wheels®, Shark Park, Farm, Dinosaur, and Robot Battle. Just download the free Hot Wheels Powerport app and attach your iPad to the set. The app interacts with the track to make both worlds collide in vivid virtual reality! Kids can even record and play back video of their car in action!
HOT WHEELS® TRIPLE TRACK TWISTER™ Track Set , iPad stand, and one Hot Wheels vehicle
It's multi-car amped-up action like never before! This Hot Wheels track set has triple the fun with three tracks - creating three different loops - with two power boosters, and one ultimate crash zone! It's open-ended play with endless possibilities, plus a digital opportunity to really bring the track to life! Launch one car or many. The more vehicles in motion, the more mayhem ensues. The loops vary in height and shape (one even twists!), but all three are meant for speed and gravity-defying moves. Two boosters power the high-speed action on track. Can you guess which track your car will end up navigating? As the vehicles whip around the course, the tension builds. Which cars will make it through? Which will crash? Kids have some control over the risk and action. Hit the red diverter to send cars on a definite collision course, or give the vehicles a chance to blast through the blue course to take the third loop. They'll head around and up the new track to start the thrills all over again! Place an iPad (sold separately) into the removable stand at the base of the set, and download the free Hot Wheels Power Port App to battle sharks, robots and more in a variety of different worlds. It's absolutely twisted fun! Ages 5 and older. Apple iPad not included.
