-- more bad jobs news on the day that we see weekly jobless claims rising had planned layoffs spiking.
President Obama's jobs council is -- officially disbanded the group of business and that labor leaders is officially out of commission.
And my next -- say good -- mean not.
These small business guys say the White House and letting them down again baker David McCarthy.
Hospitality executive told me -- year and -- restaurant owner Marco Lynne Cheney who met with the president back in 2009 and hasn't seen.
Much helps -- so let's start -- start with.
You Marko you were with the president what was all that about -- what did he say to you that you were hoping for.
Yes Tom when -- met with the president three years ago.
He had just announced the economic stimulus act and what he had told me was that this is gonna help small business owners amounts -- like myself.
Go out there and grow their business and create more jobs.
What we're hearing today makes absolutely no sense it's completely the opposite why in the world with the White House -- their their council on jobs is beyond me.
Well they've they've met four times in two years so.
I told Bob.
What did did yes did you feel that the governor -- was going to solve whatever issues you needed in the hospitality business.
Now we -- we never thought that they were on the solemn we thought they did at least give us a fair chance.
They talk a good game but I think the jobs council was created.
Strictly for him do get Republicans on his side and and get some votes and now that he's not running again.
He just disbanded it you know the White House keeps talking and they're doing things -- make it easier for the entrepreneurs to start up business.
And help small business but obamacare as -- helped us.
-- will expand our businesses and hire people.
But when we want to know that you know that Washington's on our side not gonna -- against us.
You feel that -- you did you feel that they -- the enemy as opposed to the friend.
Don't want yeah I mean you have to take this small business person -- -- hotels.
I -- retail cigar operation I'm a partner in.
Lanier parking holdings try.
-- -- lots of employees.
And IA I could expand them bring on more people but.
I'm never know for what they're what they're going to be doing -- Washington.
Denied a David.
You're in the -- business and security it all comes down to I mean you've got a product that last one day.
So you -- to be really careful about your inventory and you have to be really careful and judge demand how many customers are gonna commit today to buy my products.
So has demand -- -- tell -- -- us.
The other demands less than it was before the -- -- year because everybody's making 2% less than what they work.
This is the same president that told these people there was going to be no tax increases in the same president that told us about the seventeen different tax breaks again for small business.
You know if you had your faith in this terrible for you voted and you voted for him and you own a small business are you work for a small -- You know I've got a bridge for sale and Brooklyn and I live a long way away aren't gonna help it well enough then there's been nothing but promises.
It is true mark go back to -- what about that what about the the fact that the government really.
You small business owners never rely upon the government you rely upon your own but you know whatever -- -- -- you've got.
We do and politicians don't create jobs at small business owners announced -- -- words like us.
But that's also why can't understand why in the world -- -- cancel your your council on jobs because it's it's those people that are out there in the trenches.
Creating jobs across small towns and cities all across America and why would you stop.
That dialogue -- not listen to them is beyond me.
-- what about.
Every -- of the question they had been at least last year.
Was the uncertainty of the uncertainty the uncertainty.
Of what it was going to cost you feel any more uncertainty.
Hit or heading more certainty now that we got one month under our belt for January 2013.
Now we don't we don't feel more certain about anything relative to Obama care.
And you know we're we're we're just waiting for another shoe to drop on us and and as the general for -- said you know people are taking home less money.
Fortunately the hotel business.
-- -- has been doing good in spite of Washington.
But at the same time because a tax issues and so more than obamacare a lot of people afraid to build new product right now.
I a year in the hospitality business or do you rely upon discretionary spending or are you relying upon businesses to go out and have conferences and conventions and things like that.
Well you rely on both I have a known hotels -- rely on business travelers.
Certain times in the year never a rely on.
-- certain parts of the time so I'm a mix.
And then decide the Hilton flags and DoubleTree flags and those kinds of OK and so how's business.
Taken -- was telling them what that business has been good and were projecting for this coming year.
Five to 6% increase in average daily rate and occupancy.
David how about you how to -- business.
We'll visit the -- -- business is not good because we're 100% in the discretionary.
Spending business just like most -- restaurants and things around the country.
I keep saying when Applebee's has run into for wanting you think they're American -- -- I got to pull people in the in the doors just to keep an open.
And you know we're now we've got Obama care kick in hand and you know expenses are going up and the end here you know when when you when expenses go up it's not necessarily some but I can absorb.
They get passed along to -- employee the employee has left -- -- the so there's no such thing as a recovery in sight.
We have no economic policy we have no energy policy.
Fuel is back up again.
I mean people wonder why consumer confidence and confidence from the business -- was down.
And it and the president -- vote at all a deal like this come on this -- campaign on jobs and the economy bigger -- inaugural speech on what.
Constructing roads and more liberal you know rhetoric.
There's not you don't you know want to some other stuff to the socialist -- -- get rid of small business and we can control the big guys are frustrated I'm Margaret.
I hear it -- one of the things I've you've -- the president saying what I get from the morning I think about jobs.
Right go to bed and -- thinking about jobs.
You think he's kind of forgotten about them.
It I don't think that he's necessarily forgotten about it I just don't think that he knows how to create jobs and again it's it's people.
Like -- the -- -- the small business owners that create them if you've been a politician.
And you haven't run anything or going out and started a business how are you gonna know how to actually create those jobs which is why council -- jobs was important and should be important.
And to me should not have been the standard.
-- right.
But Toma Marco David thank you gentlemen very much thank you so much --

Samira Makhmalbaf first came to prominence with
her first film, The Apple, which she
made when she was only 17. Of course Samira was no
ordinary 17-year old, being the daughter of Mohsen Makhmalbaf, one of Irans most
famous filmmakers and a star on the international festival scene. Samira even beat her step-mother, Marzieh Meshkini who
made The Day I Became a Woman, to the big screen. Following
in the footsteps of her fathers A Moment of Innocence and Abbas
Kiarostamis Close-Up,
Samira made The Apple a documentary-like adaptation of a real-life story. Her sophomore effort, Blackboards, is
something else entirely.
Co-written by Mohsen, the film takes a page from his dreamlike Gabbeh. Blackboards looks like neorealism, but it
has the feel of a fairy tale. Its less a
story than a jumble of incidents its characters encounter along the course of a long
journey. Debuting at the 2000 Cannes Film
Festival and taking 2½ years to get its U.S. release, Blackboards is one of those
victims of a finicky distribution system. While
not an altogether successful movie, it is an enormously striking product for a 20-year old
Blackboards opens with a group of teachers carrying large
rectangular blackboards on their backs as they march through a rocky Kurdistan mountain
range in search of students. When a
helicopter passes over them, they huddle in fear before camouflaging their blackboards in
mud, which has the effect of making them look like orange-brown Jackson Pollock drip
paintings. Two teachers, Reeboir (Bahman
Gohbadi, the director of A Time for Drunken Horses) and Said (Said Mohamdi) venture
off in two different directions, but neither are able to find anyone interested in
learning from them. Everyone is struggling
merely to survive and none have time for reading, writing, and mathematics. The starving Said comes upon a large group of
wandering old men, and in exchange for forty walnuts, he agrees to guide them to Iraq. Along the way, Said marries a young widow, Halaleh
(Behnaz Jafari), because her ill father (Mohamad Karim Rahmati) wants to find someone to
take care of her before he dies. Saids
blackboard acts as his dowry. Halaleh however
practically ignores the world around her and that includes Said. Her only devotion is to her very young son, Chuan
(Hassan Mohamadi, whom Samira milks for his cuteness).
Blackboards is filled with memorable, often surreal scenes
Reeboir concocting a story from a sons letter to the father who cant
read, a crowd that tries to get Halalehs father to urinate, boys smuggling
contraband over the Iraqi border hiding amidst a herd of goats, and Saids bizarre
marriage ceremony (or lack thereof). At
times, it feels like Luis Bunuel without the bawdiness. But
as a whole, the movie never comes together as a coherent whole. Its also got some dizzying handheld camera
work as if no one on the set had ever heard of a steadicam.
Still, Samira makes gorgeous use of the landscape and images of masses of old
men swarming over steep, treacherous terrain will linger in the mind long after the movie
is over.

Can restorative justice help balance the scales for African-American youth?
from the article by Rebecca M. Stone in the Miami Herald:
Darryl is a 12-year-old African American boy whose mother, Ariel, is a single parent. Ariel left high school after becoming pregnant with Darryl and has struggled to find anything but minimum wage jobs to support her family.
One day when he was out with another friend, Darryl and his friend snuck into the neighbor's house and stole a video game. The neighbors called the police.
One might conclude that the future does not bode well for Darryl. In fact, we probably would not be surprised if we were to learn later on that he was in prison. However, there is much more to his story, and much to learn from it. The police response ultimately resulted in a restorative intervention and provided Darryl with an alternative approach.

Dade County schools hit upon alternative measures of punishment through restorative justice
from the article by Jimmie Davis, Jr in the Westside Gazette:
It's easy for administrators at Miami-Dade County Public Schools [MDCPS] to suspend and expel students for misconduct, but the underlying is-sue of why pupils misbehave will not be resolved.
So instead of rushing to ruin a kid's career, the Educational Transformation Office [ETO] has embraced Restorative Justice at some of the "Rising 19" schools to address the root causes of why kids act out. In particular African American and Latino students are getting kicked out more than Caucasians, which leaves them vulnerable to getting into more trouble and they end up catching a charge and facing time behind bars.

- There are four bones in the pelvis
- The pelvis is not fixed/locked during pregnancy and birth
- The pelvis is fixed/locked in non-pregnant women
- You don't have a pubic bone, you have a pubic joint. It may feel hard, but this is cartilage, not bone.
- Pelvis is not just a pelvis, there's a whole woman attached to it: legs and spine!
- Pubic arch narrower in a man, wide angle in a woman
- Between the pelvic bones (where sacrum and iliac crest come together and where the two sides of the pubis come together at the front and centre) there are squishy joining places like chewing gum when a woman is pregnant.
- During birth these chewing gum joining places of the pelvis open as wide as they need to be for the baby to pass through. It will not open so far as to be floppy, it will just allow the bones to ease out of the way as much as it needs to: will cradle the baby's head as it passes through.
- The three Ps of obstetrics: powers, passage, passenger contrast with the three Ps of midwifery: patience, patience, patience.
- Every woman alive today is the end point of evolution: we are the best that mother nature has designed for birthing babies.
- The medical model talks about two kinds of pelvises: "adequate" and "contracted". Midwifery has two models of pelvises too: "ample" and "could fit a pony through."
- NEVER judge a woman's ability to birth by the shape and size of her body. Best example of this are Pygmy women who average about 4ft in height but birth 8 pound babies. That's the equivalent of a 5ft7 woman giving birth to a 14 pound baby.
- A woman who hasn't had any surgery on her pelvis will have a pelvis that knows how to birth perfectly.
The image above shows the section the baby travels through. You can see the pubic joint which stretches to make the opening bigger if need be.
Prior to class I had read about the pelvis in midwifery textbooks, but always felt more confused about what parts make a pelvis etc. Gloria clarified this for me and made the previously-confusing jargon accessible.
You can learn about pelvises from Gloria by reading this article: Pelvises I have known and loved
Next week we're learning about medical terminiology. For $7.99CAD you can join me in class.

Bought the lens(version 1) a few years ago for wide angle shots of African wildlife in their environment. We shoot in African game parks & ,must mostly stay in the car. I found the animals in foreground were too small & had distortion animals & horizon when lens wide open. Now use my 35-70 lens for the same shots. Find magnification of animals in foreground is what I need.

Raynes happy to keep Oxford United on top
9:30am Friday 1st November 2013 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
MICHAEL Raynes wants to keep the smile on his face when Oxford United host Bristol Rovers tomorrow as the defender looks to continue his most enjoyable spell for years.
The 26-year-old is in superb form and has been influential as the U's have gone seven hours since conceding a goal in Sky Bet League Two.
It has helped the side climb back to the top of the table, and they will be going for a fifth successive clean sheet when the Pirates visit the Kassam Stadium.
Raynes was an unused substitute in the opening weeks of the season, but grasped his chance with both hands when skipper Jake Wright got injured.
The most consistent spell of his time at United has followed and although the centre back is keen to play down the performances, he thinks the key has been an upbeat attitude.
He said: "My old man always said if you are enjoying your football you will play your best football.
"It hurt me when I wasn't playing at the start of the year, so every game I'm playing now I see it as a bonus and I'm just going to enjoy it as much as I can.
"Results have been going quite well and the performances have been OK too, so I'll just try to keep doing that.
"It's been one of my most enjoyable times in the last couple of years if I'm honest.
"I don't know what it is, I'm just trying to play with a smile on my face.
"It's going well at the minute, but there's going to be a point where it's not going too well, so as long as you keep smiling that's all that matters."
Rovers will arrive at the opposite end of the table to their hosts following a slow start to the season.
But Raynes is well aware of the challenge they will provide after playing under Pirates boss John Ward at Stockport County.
He said: "It will be a tough game, Wardy's an absolutely top man and he will get his side well up for it.
"They've not had a good run, but we need to make sure we're on our game.
"They were one of the favourites to go up, so they will be looking to climb the table. We need to put a marker down because we want to stay as high as we can."

TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With Florida's new texting ban taking effect today, students at Bishop McLaughlin Catholic High School (BMCHS) in Spring Hill are experiencing first-hand the dangers of texting while driving through an AT&T simulator. But the simulator isn't the only reminder for students that texting behind the wheel can have deadly consequences. As part of today's event, a scholarship will be awarded to a BMCHS student in memory of Allie Augello, a former Bishop McLaughlin student killed at age 17 in a 2008 automobile accident caused by another teen driver who was texting.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120612/DA23287LOGO)
Allie's tragic loss is an example of why AT&T is taking simulators to hundreds of schools around the country. Teens are prolific texters and novice drivers, and that makes for a deadly combination on the road. The simulator events are part of the It Can Wait movement, started by AT&T in 2010 to address the growing danger of texting-while-driving. The message behind It Can Wait is simple but powerful: No text is worth dying for.
"No family should have to go through what we've gone through," said Steve Augello. "Losing a child is something you never get over. That's why it's so critical to help spread the It Can Wait message and take the pledge to never text and drive."
In remembrance of Allie, Steve and his wife Agnes will attend the BMCHS simulator event to award a student with a scholarship from the Allie Augello Scholarship Fund. To be considered for the scholarship, students were asked to write an essay on the dangers of texting and driving. The top 10 essays were selected and a winner was chosen by the Augellos. It will be the first time since Allie's death that the couple has addressed the school's faculty or students.
Before students try out the AT&T simulator, they will watch the new It Can Wait documentary, "From One Second to the Next," which shows the heart-wrenching aftermath of texting while driving.
"We are working diligently to raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving," said Florida Department of Transportation Secretary Ananth Prasad. "We're pleased to support the 'It Can Wait' campaign in Florida to ask drivers to be responsible and not text while driving."
"No one should lose their life to a text. It's 100 percent preventable," said AT&T Florida President Marshall Criser, lll. "That's why we're aggressively working to raise awareness around the issue and encouraging everyone to stop texting while driving and help spread the It Can Wait message. That's how we're going to save lives."
In fact, a recent survey by ConnectSafely.org 1 found that individuals who speak up can have a profound impact on texting while driving, particularly on teens:
Launched as an awareness campaign, It Can Wait has grown into a movement, with more than 200+ organizations involved and more than 3 million no-texting-while-driving pledges made through ItCanWait.com, social sites, simulator events, and the recent Drive 4 Pledges Day.
To take the pledge and get more information, visit www.ItCanWait.com.
