Historical Background
In comparison to other advanced industrial societies the United States remains a "laggard" with respect to public medical-care
programs.[1] Although the nation's preventive public health measures—water and sewage treatment, garbage collection, and inoculation against selective infectious diseases—are generally sound, public programs involving therapeutic medicine are distinctly more circumscribed in the United States than in comparable industrial societies. Most noticeably, the United States has no public program to assure universal or minimally widespread and comprehensive medical care. In the twentieth century four separate and lengthy efforts to achieve some form of national health insurance in the United States have failed.
The first of these crusades, in the years preceding World War I, was prompted by the American Association for Labor Legislation (AALL) and other progressive groups.[2] AALL leaders saw public health insurance as a natural extension of workers' compensation insurance. Having had some success at the state level on the latter, the AALL began state campaigns for public health insurance programs. The AALL's proposals focused primarily on protecting low-income workers against poverty arising from illness. Provisions included sick pay and some coverage for the costs of medical services. Given the relatively low medical costs at the time, sick pay was as important as the insurance provisions.
The AALL argued strongly for the macroeconomic benefits of its plan: health insurance would improve economic efficiency by reducing various industrial costs—worker absenteeism—associated with existing working conditions. As the Progressive candidate for the presidency in 1912, Theodore Roosevelt put a political twist on this proposition, maintaining that no nation could be strong if its population was highly vulnerable to illness.
But business interests rejected these claims of economic efficiency. The AALL plan was also opposed by organized labor, particularly Samuel Gompers and the American Federation of Labor, primarily because they saw it as preempting the unions from winning medical benefits for their workers and thus undercutting the advantages of union membership. For a time the American Medical Association (AMA) cooperated with AALL, but members increasingly perceived the proposal as threatening.[3] Having thus failed to establish broad-based support, the AALL campaign dissipated during World War I. The war effort distracted attention from public health insurance, and German social programs—from
which the AALL proposal borrowed—became the subject of a barrage of intense and highly negative propaganda.
A strikingly different campaign for public health insurance surfaced in the late 1920s. By this time medical care had become much more expensive, and now reformers focused on public health insurance as a vehicle for helping the middle class afford medical care. The Great Depression, however, posed more urgent social issues, and public health insurance did not get much attention from the New Deal until 1938. Physicians and hospitals had not been spared from economic disasters, and some welcomed talk of public health insurance as a means of expanding the demand for medical care. But by the time the Roosevelt administration sent its proposals to Congress in late 1938, Congress had become more conservative and resistant to New Deal efforts. In 1939 a related proposal, sponsored by New York Senator Robert F. Wagner, was also rejected. And again international turmoil and a world war turned everyone's attention away from domestic issues.[4]
The third wave of reform began in 1943 and eventually led to the creation of Medicare in 1965. Unlike its two predecessors, this initiative was increasingly dominated by the federal government and garnered the support of new interest groups, particularly organized labor. These proposals looked to the federal government, rather than state governments, and more nearly embodied the concepts of universal and comprehensive coverage. The Wagner-Murray-Dingell bills, introduced in 1943, were the first such proposals. In 1945 President Truman wrested initiative from the Congress with a broader and in some respects more ambitious plan that called for federal funding of hospital expansion, medical research, and medical education and the expansion of the largely preventive public health program for mothers and children—the Maternal and Child Health Program.[5] The most controversial point was Truman's proposal for a national health insurance scheme that would cover not only social security recipients but citizens generally.
Certainly Truman's proposals had several features that were attractive to medical providers: federal subsidies to enhance the profession's capital—hospitals, research, and education—and to finance demand for medical services. None of Truman's proposals
would have affected existing patterns of medical-care delivery; the dominance and autonomy of physicians were to remain intact. Nonetheless, the AMA, the American Hospital Association, and the Chamber of Commerce, among other groups, opposed aspects of the plan with varying degrees of ferocity. The AMA led the battle against a government presence in medical care with an unprecedented lobbying and public relations effort. As the Cold War intensified, opponents of national health insurance tarred the proposal as a socialist ploy.
In the aftermath of this defeat, proponents of national health insurance—officials in the Social Security Administration and a few other executive bureaucracies, specific members of Congress, some presidents, organized labor, and an assortment of liberal funders and intellectuals—generally adopted an incremental approach to achieving a legislative victory.[6] A similar tactic proved effective in bringing disabled workers into the social security system, but the government's entry into the provision of medical care was more troublesome than adding disabled citizens to the social security rolls.[7]
By the mid-1960s, however, the notion of public medical insurance for the elderly—a group generally held to be worthy, medically vulnerable, and of limited material means—had garnered fairly broad-based support. In 1965 innovative compromises within the House Ways and Means Committee resulted in a two-part Medicare program. Under Part A, Hospital Insurance (HI) became a standard social security benefit. An increase in social security taxes was authorized to finance this program. And under Part B, Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI) for physicians' bills could be purchased by citizens sixty-five and older. This portion was financed in part through monthly premiums paid by beneficiaries and in part through general tax revenues. Finally, the legislative compromise expanded federal support of health care for the poorest Americans (Medicaid).
To reduce opposition from organized medicine, the architects of Medicare chose not to incorporate any provisions affecting the delivery of medical services.[8] Most importantly, no effort was made to alter the prevailing high-technology, therapeutic orientation with its practices of hospital bills based on costs and physicians'
fees based on services rendered. Thus, Medicare bolstered the demand for medical care without creating any cost-control mechanisms, and the program exceeded cost projections from the outset. In the face of Medicare's rapidly rising costs, Congress has been unwilling to expand the program. Benefits were extended to disabled social security beneficiaries and end-state renal dialysis patients in 1972, but Medicare has not developed into the program of national health insurance that some of its early proponents had hoped for.
Indeed, the fourth campaign for national health insurance, during the 1970s, suggests that if national health insurance is ever developed, it is unlikely to follow the model of Medicare.[9] For this fourth campaign resurrected a prominent theme of the AALL's pre-World War I crusade: economic efficiency. And in light of the federal budget deficits of the 1980s, any future proposal, even remotely universal and comprehensive in scope, would have to offer greater economic efficiency than Medicare.
From the standpoint of meeting the medical-care needs of the elderly, Medicare represents a distinct improvement over the conditions that prevailed prior to its enactment. However, Medicare's accommodation of existing practices in the medical-care professions limits both its effectiveness in assuring appropriate, efficient medical care and its value as a model for any expanded program of national health insurance.

UMass expects to hit record enrollment level this fall; 25 percent overall jump in past decade
A record-high 71,988 students are expected to enroll this fall across the University of Massachusetts five campuses, which has seen enrollment surge by 25 percent over the past decade, officials announced Wednesday.
UMass Lowell saw the biggest year-to-year projected enrollment gain, at 3.8 percent, followed by UMass Boston at 1.5 percent, UMass Amherst at 1.2 percent and Dartmouth at 0.2 percent, according to a report released by university officials.
The projected record enrollment for this fall represents 1,214 more students than last fall, an increase of 1.7 percent, according to UMass President Robert L. Caret, who released the figures at Wednesdays trustee board meeting in Amherst.
We are seeing more accomplished students this year, with average high school grade point averages and freshman average SAT scores rising, which we think reflects well on the high quality of education that UMass provides, Caret said in a statement. Students know that when they walk through our doors, they will be guaranteed a high quality, affordable education that will provide the keys to their success.
The UMass trustee board on Wednesday also gave final approval to a plan to spend up to $3.8 billion on campus construction and renovation projects over the next five years.
Officials project there will be 14,519 more students this fall compared to a decade ago, which represents a 25 percent increase from the 57,469 students who were enrolled in the fall of 2003, officials said.
Over the past six years alone, the systems enrollment has grown by 10,954 students.
Enrollment is projected to rise at all five of the campuses this fall compared to last year, except at UMass Medical School in Worcester, where enrollment held steady at 1,160 students.
UMass said it also received 73,058 applications for undergraduate admission this year, a 5.4 percent rise compared to last year for the four campuses that admit undergraduates; UMass Medical School in Worcester does not.
UMass Lowell saw the highest proportional increase in applications this year, which were up 18.7 percent. At the Amherst campus, applications rose 3.8 percent, while Dartmouth and Boston saw gains of 2.6 percent and 1.9 percent, respectively.
Demand for an education at the University of Massachusetts continues to be strong and that challenges us to continue to meet the very high expectations and standards of students and their families who are counting on us to deliver value and excellence on each of our campuses, the statement from Caret said.

My husband and I had a date night and decided to venture out somewhere new and chose Ezme. Turkish Tapas. It was wonderful. There were a few tasting menus with optional wine pairings and so we each picked a different menu so that we could try many different items. That was the way to go. We got wonderful little portions of salad, 4 appetizers each, my husband got an extra plate with 3 different seafood, then 3 entree and finally dessert. The best baklava I have ever had in my life. And I am not a fan of the sticky treat - but this was melt in your mouth heaven. The waitress was wonderful, our water glasses never went dry, she selected wonderful wines for each plate. It was a perfect 2 hours that reminded us of Paris
A little cramped, but the tables were at least evenly spaced apart so you didn't feel like you were crowding your neighbor table or vice versa. The waiters, maitre'd, and runners were courteous and helpful explaining the Turkish cuisine to our group (most of whom were unfamiliar with the food choices). Very quaint and highly recommend for reasonably priced - delicious "tapas" style Turkish fare.
The food was very good - our group tried lots of small plates and enjoyed all of them. One recommendation is to try the red or white Turkish wine flights - you will be pleasantly surprised. Will definitely return when back in the area.
Cozy atmosphere. Nice wines. I'd recommend getting a flight to try out wines.
This was a pleasant find. The food was tasty, served hot and in good amounts so that you could try many different dishes. The servers were helpful with suggestions and very attentive. No complaints. I'd return to Ezme.
A chance inquiry seeking small, personal dining experiences in DC brought this gem to my attention. Having a preference for small places where very good food is prepared and served with pride and attention to their customers, I will add this place to my list when in DC.
met up with 3 friends recently and had a great time sharing plates. Enjoyed the Turkish beer, which I'd never had before.
Good food. They have a very nice vegetarian tasting menu which we have every time $35//person. Plenty of food and each course is nicely presented. Plenty of choices for everyone. Nice wine choices including Turkish wines. Service and atmosphere is always pleasant. Highly recommend for a Turkish food experience.
Better than some food I've had in Turkey! My Turkish friends here in the States cook like this when they invite me to their home for dinner. The tasting menu, for $35/person, was the perfect way to enjoy different dishes. We were there on a half-price bottle of wine night.
We've eaten at Ezme a half dozen times, and we have never had a dish that was not tasty and well-prepared. The menu is extensive and features dishes not to be found around the DC area. Service is timely and cordial. Occasionally Ezme can be a bit noisy, since space is limited. Mondays bottles of wine are half price, a good value. The tasting menus are good, and the wine pairings are interesting.excellent for a special evening.
We were in DC for a conference and wanted something that we wouldn't get at home. Between OpenTable and Trip Advisor, we found Ezme, which had great reviews on both sites. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the staff and service was outstanding (fun, friendly, just the right amount of attention) and the food was fantastic. None of us had tried Turkish tapas before but we all loved it. Many were from family recipes and were clearly prepared with love. They had an impressive wine list but we ended up trying a Turkish Shiraz which was excellent. We finished with some Turkish desserts, also very good. We would definitely go back to this wonderful little restaurant.
Went with sister and our early-20s daughters. The selection of Tapas was great. Late dinner. Service was very good. Great suggestions. Neice moving from DC this weekend - so a great last hurrah!
Great food, great service, reasonable prices. Maybe the energy could be a little more vibrant without being noisy. Thanks for asking.
A great introduction to Turkish cuisine. The small plates make it easy for even 2 people to get a generous sampling. The eggplant dishes were all excellent. Seafood selections were fine and nicely cooked. Only hesitancy: the Turkish "saganaki" type grilled cheese was so salty it makes feta seem bland. Any one of our other multiple choices would bring us back. Extensive and interesting wine list. Hot mint tea made with a blend of fresh green mints was outstanding to finish the meal. We'll recommend this AND come back.
Picked this place at random from locations near our hotel. We were very pleased with this find. Excellent service, food was great.... An overall A+ experience. We plan on going there at least one more time before we leave DC.
i have dined here a few times and highly recommend it. great food and service.
Dinner at Ezme on Sunday evening was exceptional. We are very familiar with the restaurant. It is a neighborhood gem. We dined progressively starting with a selection of appetizers picked by our server. They were delicious. We moved on to share all three of Ezme's stuffed roasted baby eggplant starters. We proceeded to rack of lamb followed by Ezme's signature chicken dish then moved on to pan-seared scallops. For dessert we savored a wonderful home-made baklava presentation that was delicious.
Visiting D.C. and wanted a nice place to eat that wouldn't cost $100 for dinner. Ezme's was great...small/romantic, delicious, and great service! Plates are $7-9 each and they are just tasting plates, but my husband and I shared a starter (Baba ghanoush-great) and shared 4 dinner plates, which filled us up. Bill was $45 and had a wonderful time trying Turkish food for the first time!
After my first experience at Esme, I've found it to be the perfect place to take colleagues for business lunch and to meet friends for dinner. The small portions make it great fun to share and experience different tastes and textures at a reasonable price.
The lamb chops were excellent as were the other lamb dishes we tried. We will be back.
After visiting with friends several months ago, we decided to take our parents when they came to visit. My parents love Mediterranean food so I thought it would be a nice treat. As before, it was fantastic. We did the prix fixe menu to make it easy and I was surprisingly impressed despite my desires to pick and choose. Added on the wine pairing which I don't recommend. They have so many excellent wines and the wine pairing isn't as good. Service was stellar. Very attentive staff who were quick to explain everything we had on our plates and who did a great job of spacing out the small plates. My parents are still raving about both the food and the service. Truly a fantastic place.
This was my first time here. The menu was very extensive with excellent choices. So many that I chose the 3 course meal with wine pairing and my girlfriend chose the vegetarian chef sampling. Food was amazing and a particularly enjoyed the lamb that came on the second main portion. We both chose the wine pairing which we feel is a great deal for an extra $15. We plan to return the next time we are in DC, not just for the food but also the attentive staff.
What a wonderful sampling of Turkish Mediterranean cuisine, beyond the familiar repertoire, with some nice Turksih wines appropriate to the occasion.
Ezme was recommend by a DC veteran. I had my elderly mother with me. They graciously assisted her with her walker and ordering. The food was very good, very fresh, and served quickly. The noise level was moderate and we were able to talk comfortably. Nice wine list.
My sister and I can attest that every vegan and vegetarian food item on the menu (in the "Garden" section) is delectable. We make sure to come to this restaurant for dinner every time we visit DC, and it has never disappointed us. WE LOVE EZME. The ambience is great, and the service are always genuinely friendly. There are so many plates to choose from; the dishes are all tapas style, and they are perfect to share between two people.
I took my family to Ezme Restaurant while their visit from Turkey. Since my mom is an excellent Turkish cook, her take on Ezme Restaurant was very meaningful to me. Overall, she loved it and enjoyed every bite. She did not like the size of the servings, but we had a delicious meal as a family.
We got the recommended sampler (about 7 or 8 tapas plus baklava). Everything was delicious. Four people with mixed tastes and not a single dish was dissed the entire evening. Wine menu heavy on Turkish selections, but otherwise decent. Prices were moderate - $35/pp for the sampler. Service was just right -- not too bothersome (which is a neat trick when you're bringing a new plate every 5 minutes) and there when we needed them. Two points of advice: 1. The waiter had us pegged for Turkish cuisine novices (we're not), so he pushed the sampler. If you don't look Turkish or middle eastern, push for ordering off the menu. 2. Wait to order if you don't like to eat right away. Food starts coming out 2 minutes after you order.
I asked for a quiet table and they were very accommodating. The service was excellent. This is a small, quiet, cozy place. I don't know why I haven't been there before. The food was very good and they have an interesting wine list. I am planning to go back!
Four friends met for dinner at Ezme for the first time. We sat at a corner table by the window and also had a lovely view of the "wine wall". There are so many options on the menu that it is hard to decide. Ezme has options for all budgets, ranging from an appetizer or two for a light meal to the "tasting" which includes a little of everything for the foodie. The service is fast and friendly, but not rushed. I highly recommend Ezme.
Excellent lunch venue - moderate prices make the fabulous food a great value. The red pepper spread was delicious - the bread, heavenly!! The shepherd's salad is a nice take on the traditional fetoosh. A lovely place in a great neighborhood, gracious service... you can't go wrong.
Four of us went to Ezme to try it out for the first time during Restaurant Week. We were very pleased with the dining experience. The idea of tasting several small portions offered a delicious sampling of Turkish cuisine. We had several different dishes between us and all were excellent. The waitress was most attentive and helpful. The ambiance was uncluttered and the noise level muted, one of us who is hard of hearing was delighted that he did not have to adjust his hearing aids. We tried an Italian red wine which offered us an understanding of why Turkish wines are, perhaps deservedly, not well known. None of us would hesitate to recommend Ezme and we look forward to returning. A delightful dining experience.
I like the ambiance of Ezme. The food is really good, very delicious and authentic. The service is very good, and professional. My every visit to Ezme is a very positive experience.
My wife and I were in town at the Fairfax for the weekend, and we stumbled onto Ezme entirely via location search and Open Table reviews. We sampled the restaurant week menu and WOW was the food good. We had a wine flight featuring a red from Ankora, and some wonderful food, followed by heavenly dessert and traditional turkish coffee. The food and service exceeded expectations. The contrast of flavors, and aromas let to a superb evening!
Ezme has been open since the spring. This week I finally got to try it. I've long been fond of Turkish food. Two decades ago I spent two weeks in Turkey on business, and I'm fond of saying I never ate better on a business trip, ever. Ezme brought it all back: excellent hummos, house-made pide, delicious cold salads, wonderful lamb kebabs, and a dessert (not baklava) that I wasn't familiar with, but which was absolutely marvelous. It was sweet cheese between layers of warm phyllo pastry, absolutely delicious. The restaurant is right off Dupont Circle, in a very attractive upstairs room (they have a ramp for wheechairs). Service was quiet and professional. We'll be back again and again.
A wonderful sampling of Turkish mezzes and dished from all over the country. Sized to share and seasoned with all the native spices. Service is also excellent. Ezme does not disappoint.
I was there with 3 friends for early Sunday dinner, and for a while we were the only ones there, so we enjoyed the special attention and did not feel rushed at all. (More people came later.) I liked being able to order several small plates to share, thus having the chance to try a lot of different things. I liked everything we ordered.
If you like authentic Turkish meze and want to go somewhere that clearly shows you care, Ezme is a great choice. My favorite dish in the world is hünkar beğendi and they do it very well. Also you have to try their mucver. It's the best.
Had a terrific lunch with a friend. Got the four-course special menu for $18. Good amount of food, but not so much I felt uncomfortably full after 4 courses. Everything was delicious!
Ezme serves great Turkish food. It offers a wide selection of dishes from all across the country. They are prepared very well and very close to authentic. The service is quick and friendly.
Oneof the best restaurants we ate at during our vacation.
Small plates, good food, attentive service, not expensive. Great little date place. The chicken was a favorite, the steak with gruyere was nice, also liked the dough stuffed with feta. Would go back for sure.
Perfect for small plate healthy and excellent food. We were referred hear by locals and were not disappointed. Our server "Mahir" was most informative and patiently helped in our choices of food and wine. Reasonably priced an oh so delicious.
Lively Turkish restaurant serving small plates of deliciously subtly spiced/sesoned food of a wide variety. If you have never had Turkish food before, this is a good place to try a number of dishes. The wine list is good. They offer flights of whites and reds as well as half carafes of Eastern Mediterranean wines with reasonable prices. There is something for all tastes and dietary preferences. The desserts are housemade and very tasty as well!
On a recent visit to DC, we found Ezme, a terrific Turkish restaurant, in the Dupont Circle area. We had a chance to try many dishes we hadn't experienced before off a very interesting menu, and loved every single one! The small plates approach allowed us to try a number of dishes, a real plus. Most servings were enough for the two of us. Our server, a lovely young woman, made suggestions and we took them and were glad we did. They have an amazing dessert made from shredded wheat that was baked with a sweet cheese mixture and topped with a lemon sauce - wish we could have it for dessert every night! We heartily recommend trying Ezme - you won't be disappointed. We even tried two types of Turkish wine and enjoyed them as well.
Enjoyed a wonderful night with family. Excellent food and professional staff
I love Ezme. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the service is warm and friendly. Very conveniently located just off Dupont Circle. The grilled haloumi is wonderful.
We loved the food and the ambience. It was quiet and relaxing and our waitress did not rush us. We shared plenty of small plates and the entire meal was well-paced. The food was light and delicious as well. Overall, a treat!
My wife and I love tapas and this was an unexpectedly delicious meal with a twist on traditional tapas. the waitress guided us through her favorites on the menu and the food was perfect. she also suggested a perfectly paired Turkish wine that we'd never had before and it paired perfectly. We will definitely be back.
The title sums it up. This is really a great restaurant--the food is well-prepared and authentic, the service is good, and the choice of alcoholic beverages includes some hard-to-find Turkish liquors--but it is rather pricey. That said, that probably describes most decent restaurants in the Dupont Circle area, so that doesn't come as a surprise.
It was our first visit to Ezme. It was a Sunday evening and the restaurant was so tranquil we didn't have to raise our voices to be heard. The service was attentive and the wait staff helpful without being pushy.. Having previously visited Turkey and being familiar with Turkish/Balkan fare, we were pleased with our experience. The grilled baby octopus, not something I usually order, was tender and tasty. The bread which came with our tapas-sized entrees was addicting, and I threw my concern for carbs to the wind. The Iskendar kabob, thinly sliced lamb and beef topped with a taste-but tingling sauce over homemade Turkish bread was filling enough to be shared by two.

Judge mulls over Facebook's offer in 'sponsored stories' suit
It looks like Judge Richard Seeborg may be turning a corner in the lawsuit over Facebook's "sponsored stories" feature. He said today that he would review the social network's second settlement offer and would issue a ruling "very shortly," according to Reuters.
The crux of the case focuses on Facebook's use of advertising in its sponsored stories. The original five plaintiffs, which aimed at representing more than 100 million members in a class-action suit, claimed the social network violated users' right to privacy by publicizing their "likes" in advertisements without asking … Read more

1. Stand close to the speaker and yell your order, using colorful expletives in ways which would embarrass the patrons inside.
2. Drive through backwards.
3. Belch your order.
4. After ordering, cover the speaker and mic with transparent tape. Watch as customers and order-takers are unable to hear each other and, thus, each raises his/her volume.
5. Barter. Offer a Whopper for a Big Mac.
6. Walk through.
7. Speak a foreign language (make one up if you have to). When the manager comes to the mic, speak English and inquire as to why the order taker had such difficulty understanding you.
8. Repeat everything the order-taker says.
9. Attempt to take the order-takers order ("Hi, may I take your order?") before they get a chance to take yours.
10. Order confusing items, i.e., "Hi, I'll have a large orange Coke and a small medium fries, please."
11. In a crowded drive-thru line, place a HUGE order, then slip out of line and watch the fun as the person behind you is handed 40 bags of food.
12. When you arrive at the window to pick up your food, hand them several bags of garbage & ask if they'll dispose of it for you. Make sure it smells.
13. Drive through with a carload of naked people.
14. Speak in such a garbled fashion that the order-taker will think there is a problem with the speaker and ask you to order at the window. When you arrive at the window, speak in the same garbled, incomprehensible fashion.
15. Drive through with someone on the hood to accept the food.
16. Bring along a Mr. Microphone. When the order-taker speaks, aim the mic at their speaker but do so while aiming the Mr. Microphone speaker at the mic to produce excruciating feedback of their own voice.
17. One word: Flatulence!
18. Have a friend hide in the trunk. When you approach the window to pickup your order, have him start yelling and banging his fists on the trunk.
19. If you are a male, have a female friend place the order by speaking VERY seductively and suggestively into the speaker. When she finishes, have her hide and pull up to accept your order. See how many of the order-takers fellow employees have been called over to the window to "check out the babe".
20. Change a flat tire in the drive-thru lane.

The young man lowers his window "Uh, yes, officer?"
"What are you doing?"
"Well, isn't it obvious? I'm reading a magazine, sir."
Pointing towards the young woman in the back seat the cop says: "And her, what is she doing?"
The young man shrugs: "Sir, I believe she's knitting a pullover sweater."
Now, the cop is totally confused. A young couple, alone, in a car, at night in a lovers' lane, and nothing obscene is happening!
"What's your age, young man?" "I'm 25, sir."
"And her... what's her age?"
The young man looks at his watch and replies, "She'll be 18 in 11 minutes"

Her boyfriend asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"
The blonde says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a tiger."
Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table. He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a tiger." He takes her hand and says, "Second, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea, and then....." he sighed, "let's put all these Frosted Flakes back in the box.

Corporate Lesson 1:
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower,when the doorbell rings.
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel,"
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.
After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies.
"Great!" the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"
Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
Corporate Lesson 2:
A priest offered a lift to a Nun.
She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.
The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.
The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"
The priest removed his hand.
But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"
The priest apologized "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak."
Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way.
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129.
It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."
Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
Corporate Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.
They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish."
"Me first! Me first!" says the admin. clerk.
"I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world" Poof! She's gone.
"Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life." Poof! He's gone.
"OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."
Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.
Corporate Lesson 4:
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.
A rabbit asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?"
The crow answered: "Sure, why not."
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.
A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.
Corporate Lesson 5:
A turkey was chatting with a bull.
"I would love to be able to Get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey,but I haven't got the energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble on my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree
Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.
Moral of the story: Bullshlt might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

A man goes to the doctor complaining with elbow pain. The doctor tells him ok, I need a urine sample to test. The man complies, and the doctor takes the cup to a very strange machine and pours it in. After a few seconds the machine prints out a sheet of paper. The doctor tells the man; well it looks like you have tennis elbow. The man argues saying that there is no way. The doctor informs him that his new machine is 99% accurate. So the man determined to fool the machine goes home and has his daughter pee in a cup, then he puts oil from his car in it, and then jacks off in it. He takes it to the doctor and tells him hes not feeling well and gives him the cup. The doctor puts it in the machine, and a few seconds later the paper prints out. Well what does it say? Asked the man. The doctor just looks at him and replies, well your daughter is pregnant, you car needs an oil change, and if you dont stop jacking off youll never get rid of that tennis elbow.

A man in a taxi cab taps the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screams bloody murder, loses control of the cab, and swerves onto the sidewalk before stopping just inches from a lamppost.
After checking to make sure the passenger is OK, the driver says "I'm sorry, but you scared the daylights out of me!"
"Sorry. I didn't realize a simple tap on the shoulder would freak you out so much," the passenger says.
"It's not your fault," replies the cabbie.
"Today is my first day on the job after 25 years of driving a hearse."

There is a Wal-Mart associate standing there with dark shades on.
She says, "Excuse me, Sir... can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?"
He says, "Ma'am, I'm blind, but if you will drop it on the counter I can tell you everything you need to know about it from the sound that it makes.
She didn't believe him but dropped it on the counter anyway.
He said, "That's a 6' graphite rod with a Zebco 202 reel and 10 lb. test line. It's a good all around rod and reel, and it cost $20.00."
She says, "It is amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the counter. I think it's what I'm looking for, so I'll take it."
He walks behind the counter to the register, she bends down to get her purse and farts. At first she is embarrassed but then realizes that there
is no way he could tell it was her. Being blind, he wouldn't know that she was the only person around.
He rings up the sale and says, "That will be $25.50."
She says, "But didn't you say it was $20.00?"
He says, "Yes ma'am, the rod and reel is $20.00, the duck call is $3.00, and the catfish stink bait is $2.50. And thank you for shopping Wal-Mart."

Brenda O'Malley is home making dinner, as usual, when Tim Finnegan arrives at her door.
"Brenda, may I come in?" he asks. "I've somethin' to tell ya".
"Of course you can come in, you're always welcome, Tim. But where's my husband?"
"That's what I'm here to be telling ya, Brenda."
There was an accident down at the Guinness brewery..."
"Oh, God no!" cries Brenda. "Please don't tell me."
"I must, Brenda. Your husband Shamus is dead and gone. I'm sorry.
Finally, she looked up at Tim. "How did it happen, Tim?"
"It was terrible, Brenda. He fell into a vat of Guinness Stout and drowned."
"Oh my dear Jesus! But you must tell me true, Tim. Did he at least go quickly?"
"Well, Brenda... no. In fact, he got out three times to pee."

One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well passion was heating up, and I reached for her and she says " I don't feel like it tonite, I just want you to hold me." I Said "WHAT"! So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear... "Youre just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man" She responded to my puzzled look by saying " Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?". Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.
The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping to Macy's a big department store. I walked around with her while she tried on different very expensive outfits. She could not make up her mind on which one to take so I told her we'd just buy them all and put them in the cart. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said lets get a pair for each outfit. We passed by the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of beautiful diamond earings. Let me tell you ... she was so excited. She must have thought that I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelot when she does not even know how to play tennis. I threw her for a loop when I said " Thats Fine Honey". She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said let's go to the cashier."
I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No Honey, I don't feel like it"
Her face went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled WHAT"?
I then said honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look in her eyes like she was going to kill me, I added " Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things that I can buy you?"
Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either.

than I should have been) I passed over a bridge only to see a cop on the
other side with a radar gun laying in wait. The cop pulled me over,
walked up to the car, and with that classic patronizing smirk we all
know about, asked "what's your hurry?" To which I replied, "I'm late
for work." To which he asked, "What do you do?" "I'm a Rectum
Stretcher," I responded. The cop was surprised and confused. "A what? A
rectum stretcher?? And just what does a rectum stretcher do?" "Well," I
said, "I start by inserting one finger, then I work my way up to 2
fingers, then 3, then 4, then with my whole hand in I work side to side
until I can get both hands in, and then I slowly but surely stretch the
hole, until it's about 6 feet." Then the cop asked questioningly and
cautiously, "And just what do you do with a six-foot *******?" To which
I politely replied, "You give him a radar gun and park him behind a
bridge ."

An Amish boy and his father were in a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again. The boy asked, "What is this Father?"
The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is."
While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a wheel chair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blonde stepped out.
The father said quietly to his son... "Go get your mother."

A man and his wife were sitting in the living room and he said to her, "Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug." His wife got up, unplugged the TV and threw out all of his beer.

A few minutes after that, another loud scream reverberates through the bar.
The bartender goes into the bathroom to investigate why the drunk is screaming."
What's all the screaming about in there?" he yells. "You're scaring my customers!"
"I'm just sitting here on the toilet," slurs the drunk, "and every time I try to flush, something comes up and squeezes the hell out of my nuts ."
The bartender opens the door, looks in, and says, "You idiot! You're sitting on the mop bucket!"

Subject: The Lawyer
A very successful lawyer parked his brand new Lexus in front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck came along too close to the curb and completely tore off the driver's door.
Fortunately, a cop in a police car was close enough to see the accident and pulled up behind the Lexus, his lights flashing. But, before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically about how his Lexus, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how the body shop tried to make it new again.
After the lawyer finally wound down from his rant, the cop shook his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic you lawyers are," he said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you neglect the most important things in life."
"How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer.
The cop replied, "Don't you even realize that your left arm is missing? It got ripped off when the truck hit you!!!"
"OH, MY GOD!" screamed the lawyer.

Towards the end of the golf course, Dave hit his ball into the woods and found it in a patch of pretty yellow buttercups. Trying to get his ball back in play, he ended up thrashing every buttercup in the patch. All of a sudden POOF! In a flash and puff of smoke, a little old woman appeared.
She said "I'm Mother Nature! Do you know how long it took me to make those buttercups?" "For doing what you did, you won't have any butter for your popcorn for the rest of your life. And, you won't have any butter for your toast for the rest of your life." "In fact, you'll never have any butter for anything the rest of your life!" Then POOF! She was gone! After Dave recovered from the shock, he yelled for his friend, "Fred, where are you?" Fred yells back, "I'm over here in the ***** willows." Dave shouts back . . . "DON'T SWING, Fred; for the love of God, DON'T SWING!"

The following was in The Atlanta Journal. This has got to be one of the best "singles ads" ever published:
SINGLE BLACK FEMALE seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a very good looking girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping and fishing trips, cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. Rub me the right way and watch me respond. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Kiss me and I'm yours.. Call (404) 875-6420 and ask for Daisy.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images? |
This classic album is a wonderful example of Lucy's skills as both singer and songwriter. It opens with the title track, about the tenth anniversary of a relationship. End of the day is about people led a contented but modest lifestyle before chasing the money, only to discover that they were better off materially but less satisfied with life. One good reason is about a woman asking her partner to choose between her and the bottle, knowing that he'd choose the bottle. Five in the morning is a song about a woman who leaves home while everybody is asleep, hoping to find a better life. Promise me is about being on the road and unable to establish a relationship. The remaining songs explore various aspects of love - the joys and the problems.
If you enjoy contemporary folk-country music, do not overlook Lucy Kaplansky. This was my first album of her music but it certainly won't be the last.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Beautifully pure, with salted butter, chamomile and quinine notes lacing up a core of creamed Jonagold apple and lanolin flavors. The long, creamy finish lets the chamomile edge play out elegantly."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This rich, powerful and buttery sweetie is refined, featuring touches of elegance to its apple compote and passion fruit flavors. The long finish of mango and orange spice is pure and fresh-tasting, with plenty of nutty overtones."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This also offers ample Chablis character with plenty of citrus influence on the aromas of classic green fruit, sea breeze and saline. There is impressive concentration to the rich but attractively vibrant flavors that enjoy excellent volume and an abundance of acid buffering dry extract. There..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Rich and spicy, with a caressing mouthful of white chocolate, ripe peach and baked apple flavors, supported by moderate acidity. Finishes with passion fruit and honeydew melon."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Foxen's UU Block from the famed Bien Nacido Vineyard fights it out every year with the estate Tinaquaic Chardonnay for top honors. In this cool vintage, the former wins out by a hair. Dry, steely and crisp in acidity, it shows vast tropical fruit, orange, vanilla, honey and buttered toast flavors..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Donelan's 2011 Chardonnay Nancie is pretty and expressive. Another wine with lovely textural depth and nuance, the 2011 is laced with dried apricots, nectarines, flowers and mint, all of which come together in the glass. Though medium in body, the 2011 impresses for its soft, caressing personality..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Very tight green flavors, herbaceous, with lively fresh fruits, but restrained into a taut, mineral jacket."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Light to medium gold with a greenish hue, this wine exhibits wonderfully pure notes of wood spice such as vanillin, honeyed citrus, a hint of under-ripe peach, and touches of creme brulee and marmalade. With great acidity and finesse, this is a medium-bodied, impressively endowed, but generally..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard shows off a multitude of aromas, flavors and textures. It is a gorgeous, multi-dimensional wine endowed with weightless elegance and definition. Lemon, pastry, white flowers and crushed rocks wrap around the insistent finish. In 2009 the Ritchie is all about..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "There's a hard, minerally edge to this Chardonnay, like the tang of cold metal, an impression that's heightened by its citrusy acids. The flavor veers toward Meyer lemon, while toasted oak brings needed vanilla and honey richness. It's controlled and tight, compared to more opulent..

Summary and Book Reviews
The Unnamed: Summary and book reviews of The Unnamed by Joshua Ferris
At times, reading The Unnamed feels a bit like accompanying Tim on one of his involuntary walks - aimless, increasingly desperate, without an end in sight. In that way, the narrative style and structure perfectly echoes the novel's theme. Readers who, like Jane at times, are searching for answers to Tim's condition, may grow impatient with Tim's seemingly endless peregrinations. Most readers, however, will be drawn into Ferris's poetic, empathetic accounts of Tim's journeys and returns, and they will willingly join the author on his journey of exploration into one man's mysterious, heartbreaking decline... The Unnamed is both a surprising departure from the satirical social commentary of Ferris's debut and a second novel that - in its more personal focus and introspection - surpasses its predecessor. (Reviewed by Norah Piehl). Full Review (800 words). Media Reviews

Atmospheric Disturbances
by Rivka Galchen Atmospheric Disturbances is at once a moving love story, a dark comedy, a psychological thriller, and a deeply disturbing portrait of a fracturing mind.
by Jonathan Franzen Freedom comically and tragically captures the temptations and burdens of liberty: the thrills of teenage lust, the shaken compromises of middle age, the wages of suburban sprawl, the heavy weight of empire. An indelible and deeply moving portrait of our time. These are 2 of the 11 readalike suggestions for The Unnamed. Members have full access to all readalikes. If you are a member, please login.

Grovo shows you how to use popular sites
I am not the kind of person who needs to read the help pages on Web sites--at least most of the time. But the same cannot be said for a lot of folks I know. In fact just this past weekend I was showing someone in their late-60s (who is quite smart, I might add) where the full screen button was on YouTube.
In that same vein is a new site called Grovo, which breaks down how to use popular Internet sites into short, two-minute video tutorials. Included are places like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google Docs, Craigslist, and even Yelp.… Read more

Forensic Science
Forensic Science is the application of a broad range of sciences to answer questions of interest to the legal system. Criminal investigation uses various applications of sciences to answer questions related to the examination and comparison of biological evidence (e.g. DNA), trace evidence, impression evidence (e.g. fingerprints), controlled substances (toxicology) and firearms.
Students work on a crime scene analysis in the AAFS lab. |
Our program recognizes two major career tracks in forensic science: crime lab technicians/scientists and investigators/evidence technicians. Scientists do all the actual tests of evidence in a crime lab. These positions require a bachelor's degree in a physical, life or clinical lab science (e.g. biology and chemistry). Crime labs use trained investigators/evidence technicians to go to the crime scene and collect evidence. The certificate education is designed to integrate science and criminal investigations and provide a substantial complement to majors in other social sciences, law, and health professions.
Unique Features of the Certificate
The practicum is a required fieldwork placement. The practicum is designed to complement the student's career interests (e.g., crime lab, police detective bureau, or a homicide division). In addition, the student receives hands-on laboratory experience in biology and chemistry. Finally, students are involved in a Medico-legal Death Investigator Course, sponsored by the Department of Pathology at Saint Louis University.
Application Process
Applications are available at the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, McGannon Hall Room 224. Students must:
- Complete the Arts and Sciences "Certificate Program Application Form".
- Provide a copy of their college transcripts.
- Provide a two-page personal statement (double spaced) of career plans explaining how the student will use the certificate to further their career ambitions.
Application Deadlines
Applications are reviewed as they arrive.

Whirling Disease Factsheets
Colorado Parks and Wildlife researchers have determined that rainbow trout, brook trout, and all of Colorado's native subspecies of cutthroat trout are quite susceptible to whirling disease if exposed when young. Because Colorado's native cutthroats are susceptible, it is important to establish policies and personal habits that protect high country waters from the spread of the parasite (see "How You Can Help" on the Whirling Disease and Colorado's Trout page).
Although the effects of whirling disease in Colorado are still apparent particularly in reduced rainbow trout numbers in many waters, significant strides have been made in recent years in controlling the further spread of the parasite and the disease it can cause. These efforts include capital investments to protect the State's hatchery system. In 1998, 11 of Colorado's 16 hatcheries were contaminated by the parasite; in December 2004 just 6 are still considered positive for the parasite. CPW policy now dictates that no fish reared in a parasite-positive facility may be planted in waters capable of sustaining wild trout populations unless an exemption is obtained. Efforts such as these have resulted in a reduction in the density of the TAMs researchers detect in the wild in many of our waters. In some places, young-of-the-year rainbow trout are again being observed in the fall of the year. However, there is still progress to be made.
Current research topics regarding Myxobolus cerebralis include the following:

In the monotony and complications of life, everyone believes in the work hard and party harder principle. Earlier only men would have the right to relieve themselves of the worries by relaxing themselves in a bar. They would drink and dine and would pay for a wholesome treat in the form of a woman striptease show. With the sexual revolution among women, the taboo was uplifted and even women were then free to enjoy reposing and watching young lads strip for them. Today, it is equivalent to a custom for a ladies' night out or hen party to include a sassy male stripper.
Alot can be added on a ladies' night to do list such as dine at an upscale restaurant, go to watch theatre, book for a comedy show or maybe watch some classic romantic comedy movies; But the truth is that even as you read through these lines you would have figured out the boredom that one would experience during a bland pajama party. Male strippers act as a catalyst in igniting the moods of the girls on the ladies' night. They can dance, unwind and revel with the seductive acts of the Strippers.
In a strip party, women savor the acts of the male strippers whom they have bought for an allotted session and time period. It is important for the girls to prepare and plan beforehand for the session to avoid any last minute disappointment. Much to the happiness of these ladies there are a few comedy clubs that offer a complete package according to their needs and fancies. The entertainment includes drag-queen hostesses, giveaway gifts, exciting games, dinner and drinks, stand-up comedy acts and the most awaited male strippers. Doesn't it sound way more interesting than all the other boring party plans mentioned previously?
Huge strip resorts are found in Las Vegas almost throughout the city. Another specifically famous Male strippers club is in Australia. Goldsmith is the Shooters Superclub whose infrastructure has been designed to meet the tastes of different people at the same time. Few others that top the list are Goldfellas in Miami, Savage men in New York and New Jersey, Foxxes Den in Toronto, Manhattan Men in New York and many alike. The expense to book a Male Strippers can defer on the basis of many factors such as the popularity of the club to which the male strippers belongs, the availability of the performer, etc.
Male strippers are usually contacted for hen parties where the bachelorettes along with the bride-to-be enjoy the last few days of single-hood. Male strippers surely do have the ability to make any party worthwhile for all single women who have the want to enjoy and party hard without rules. Be it a bachelorette party, birthday bash or the beginning of a new job a ladies night out with a Male strippers is always welcomed. A man with an ideal body in a scandalizing outfit is sure to turn on the heat on a usually boring ladies night.

So let's talk about these jobs numbers with Eugene prophet who's a portfolio manager with profit investment management and he joins us from our Washington.
Newsroom good to see you and I understand you you have a history as professional football player before you got into the financial services industry so.
You know we're gonna look back some heads here -- talk a little bit about.
About the the jobs numbers and when you look at these numbers so we see the eight point -- so that's a tick in the right direction.
But the number of jobs a number of new jobs created -- -- pretty paltry.
100 151000 what is it telling you.
Well that -- a -- current economy and our economic environment essentially.
On the only good news that I -- employment numbers -- -- the other 5354000.
For the past three months looks pretty much puts that.
Armed and trend line I think you actually are getting a little bit of an adjustment back from good weather earlier in the year.
And you're saying that the economy although it's improving it's improving very slowly.
All BC services.
Are up a little bit -- be -- here but manufacturing is his way down so.
Net net I think more the same we're gonna models for.
What does that mean -- if we're looking you know because obviously everybody wants and how this is gonna affect.
The election in November and the thing that I keep reading is that no president has ever won reelection.
With unemployment higher than seven point 2%.
I don't think anybody thinks that there's a chance that the unemployment rate.
Will drop almost a full point between now and Election Day but where do you see it through muddling through.
A month over month over month as we get into the fall what what's it looking like to you.
Well I think that essentially the stock market has actually done okay over the past.
On eighteen months to three years right and so the wealth effect overall this is relatively good the US consumer.
As for the most part been strong inside -- jobless numbers you did see.
On the hiring and -- his bills being I'm okay even though you look at the retailers.
They're missing their earnings over the the past these few days you're correct no president has won -- -- unemployment rate -- highest unemployment rate is currently.
But we've had a little bit of a structural change.
On in our economy -- coming off.
Economic environment.
Second only to great depression and so I I think as long the stock market holds up and done collapse.
The sitting president has a reasonable chance of being reelected the first one elected with that -- unemployment rate.
He would be making history the first one since FDR back in the great.
Great Depression.
You know I just wonder when -- have people obviously if -- if you're that the president United States.
You're gonna take the credit when things go good -- you're gonna get -- when things are not so hot.
But realistically.
The policies of a sitting president -- an administration.
How can they affect.
You know sort of you know the the unemployment a lot people are quick to say that.
That -- Obama care that the health care law.
Is something that has really had a negative impact on jobs growth because a lot of employers out there.
Don't want to take on the added costs.
That Obama care -- brings when it comes to having to employ people and that that's a disincentive.
For companies to hire -- you see it that way and how how how big liberal do you think.
The president has had on the job situation that we've got today.
Well I think the most important issue is confusion over or policies and -- confusion over what the economic environment is this going to be on your correct that foam did it -- calls level obamacare.
Is that negative on the attribute to employers look in the higher.
But employers have business owners a Smart how we've had three years.
These policies specifically come in a place in business owners will just -- in fact that does become you know the law of the land and ruled the day.
I the president actually has on the pulpit to basically help -- -- a positive environment around our economy around our stock market.
And I think that that.
You'll see more of that as we move closer towards November more over -- reflection on.
On the fact that we don't have been in a bull market albeit not a strong bull market we did come off.
Of a very on -- based on certainly.
-- we will like a more -- growth.
I'm certainly.
There is a lot of device that this around the country with respect to policies on either side with a liberal or conservative.
But I think net net.
If you look bump at the US consumer vs what's going on -- the rest of the world.
Home you know we're not doing so bad we're not doing as well as we've done historically regarded -- -- Europe.
Absolutely and I think that that's actually I'm gonna be a major factor over next three months the mean a lot of the stock market trend.
Has been very similar last year were coming to the summer months where.
I'm -- became a major factor alone which would.
Greece are about to have another election there that might have some impact on the market as recently -- next week.
On the -- trying to GDP growth has been slowing albeit slightly you might see some dignitaries in there so I think that those are some positive that might play.
Into the administration's hands but you know net net it has been -- very confusing environment to be an investor and certainly to be a business owner.
And that uncertainty -- -- is gonna is gonna stick around until after the election right.
I mean yes and well people want us want to know who the next president's going to be talk about uncertainty there's probably no greater uncertainty than that.
That's correct and an equally as important.
What the next congress don't look like because.
You know -- -- current environment where almost no matter what happens within our economy.
Com -- that congress is -- divided that almost nothing gets done.
And essentially if we have the same thing.
I'll -- selection you're -- have a little bit more this thing and we have some structure issues that we really have to deal with for prospective.
-- Social Security the deficit and the debt sold I hope that all mean the ballot box in November is gonna feel very big indicator.
-- what the next few years are gonna look like but.
Bomb unless we get on some common ground we're gonna have a pretty difficult time dealing with these issues.
I didn't mention -- let me -- let people know that they can find you on Twitter your -- is that.
The number four.
And with -- the last thing like profit you really had no choice but to get out of football.
-- get into the investment business.
So good for you to figure that out thanks so much for joining us it was good to talk to wanna get another take on this -- -- Berger is a managing principal at the black big group.
And and he went through you had to jump through some hurdles to get to.
Have to deal with today such an active day well we're glad you're here thank you and now and we've been talking with Eugene about.
The jobs numbers that are out and I'm sure you've seen that the headlines what's your take away.
They're awful on the bottom line is I mean look cute you can look at 70% of all jobs created in this country over the last six months -- of the low income variety.
You look at -- jobs and retail hospitality and leisure.
This is an economy that is in desperate need of organic growth are not going to get that -- low income jobs so therefore moving forward it's great to weave a positive trend.
But realistically you're looking at three in a 42000 people have left -- the job force are looking for employment.
They can't find it the average hourly earnings number let's look behind the curtain of today's report.
You're looking at 2% growth here every year adjusted for inflation those lucky enough to even have a job or are losing -- spending power -- Point was though that look.
It's not great but it's it's a lot better than what's gone on in Europe you know that we're actually doing OK compared to other world market.
It's -- -- combine that lets be honest just caught what it is and you can I do.
200000 plus in December January February 120000.
-- -- the month before and -- last month C a 1151000.
I don't care what the revisions are.
This is not good for the United States economy right now GDP is trending.
At one point 7%.
And Ben Bernanke still does not have enough octane right now could justify any further accommodation so stock market sounded am surprised or not down further out from today.
But -- it's going to be a long one.
Do you -- as we were talking with Eugene about the stock market the market doing.
You know fairly well right over the last couple of years in spite of this week weak growth.
Right well first of all first quarter traders were were think -- we're gonna have further accommodation from Ben Bernanke.
He's never gonna overlap monetary policy news so we already know that operation -- is gonna have to come to an end.
Which is the end of June before he can do any further accommodation.
We don't see that happening anyway because keep in mind.
