CHICAGO -- Companies that do everything from making appliances to selling cruises are reporting strong first-quarter profits -- not because of the layoffs many of them used to dress up last year's earnings reports but because people are spending more.
The turnaround has yet to produce a dramatic increase in hiring, which isn't expected until 2011 or later. But it provides emphatic new evidence that the economy has moved past the crisis and should continue to strengthen.
''We're out of the woods for good,'' says Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank. ''This is not just an arithmetic story. It's a story of legitimate growth.''
Companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 index have reported 76 percent higher operating earnings than a year ago -- on pace to be the biggest year-over-year increase ever, according to S&P analyst Howard Silverblatt. Nearly half the companies in the index have reported earnings so far.
One reason for the gains is simply that the economy in early 2009 was at the depth of the worst recession in generations, but consumer spending is clearly making a comeback.
After a year and a half of hunkering down, people are buying expensive items such as electronics and furniture and dining out more, even though an unemployment rate of 9.7 percent clouds the recovery and the housing market is still hurting.
''They've saved some money, they've paid down debt, and at a certain point you just get bored of eating frozen pizza and watching cable TV on a Saturday night,'' says Barry Ritholtz, head of the financial research firm FusionIQ.
Consumer spending has risen for five straight months, retail sales for four, and restaurant sales surged this spring after being stagnant since 2008. Profits from those sales reflect a healthier economy, as opposed to the drastic cost-cutting that helped companies improve their bottom lines in recent quarters.
Among the latest winners, Ford Motor Co. did an about-face from a year ago in reporting a $2.1 billion profit on 15 percent higher revenue; it plans to boost production. Caterpillar Inc. also reversed a loss from a year ago and said demand for its construction and mining equipment is surging.
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. returned to a first-quarter profit as more travelers vacationed on its ships and spent additional money on board. UPS Inc. posted a 33 percent profit increase; it said tech firms are shipping more products and other industries are restocking inventories.
A parade of other Fortune 500 corporations also have boosted their full-year profit forecasts this month. This week alone, the list includes DuPont Co., Estee Lauder Cos. and Whirlpool Corp.

Product Details
Subaru WRX 2012, BasketCase Roof Cargo Basket by Yakima®. This economical basket is made for the occasional outdoor enthusiast who wants to carry gear on the roof so there's more room inside the vehicle for people (or more gear).

This vinyl dipped, welded 1/4" steel wire basket comes ready to mount to round and square crossbars and can be mounted to factory or aero bars with Yakima MightyMounts.

If you're on a budget and only have need for a cargo basket occasionally, the BasketCase Roof Cargo Basket is the carrier for you. Its 27" x 39.25" x 2" dimensions are perfect for smaller loads, but it still has enough capacity to help your get gear up on the roof so there's more room inside your vehicle for passengers or more gear. A cargo basket is really great for odd-size items that can be difficult to secure on a roof by themselves. Load them into the basket and secure with the optional cargo net and you can be on your way. An additional advantage of the BasketCase is its low profile. If you have a tall vehicle and experience overhead clearance problems, the BasketCase may be a carrier you can live with.

I installed these about 2 months ago and the bike handles so much better and has a much more stable feeling. Probably because the ones that came out were pretty bad and that's what i was used too.

My raptor even has a little more aggressive look after adding these on. If these ever break I'll rebuy for sure. No locktight is included but worth adding for piece of mind for not loosing a loose bolt during a long ride.Read All Reviews

Anna O'Shea is starting over. She has divorced her husband and left her job as a lawyer. Upon returning from a pleasure trip to Ireland, Anna finds out her brother, Patrick, has been in a horrible car accident. This leaves Anna in charge of her troublemaking sixteen-year-old nephew, Joseph.
Joseph O'Shea is a kid who is always on the outside looking in. He is a loner who seems to find trouble wherever he goes. His dad, Patrick, acts like he does not want him around. His aunt, Anna, has gone a little mental since her divorce. Wrestling is his way of belonging somewhere.
A gift from a stranger in Ireland is tucked into Anna's bags without a second thought. After she picks up Joseph from the juvenile detention center, she crawls into bed for a good night's sleep. A dream about his father has Joseph looking through Anna's bags for the item that will save his family. Anna is furious at finding Joseph going through her things, but when she grabs hold of the package, they find themselves hurtling through an ocean. The next thing either of them remembers is landing in Ireland in 1844. Will this time traveling help heal a family torn apart by a one hundred and sixty-four-year-old curse?
I am having a hard time trying to decide where to begin. This book blew my mind. Stepping into this story is easy, but falling into 1844 Ireland? It is exciting and wonderful. Jacqueline Sheehan writes such a delightful tale of magic and mysticism with characters who are colorful and seem very real. I love stories about traveling back in time and this one did not disappoint me. Taking a step back into an era of simplicity is a breathtaking experience. It is the struggle and pain these people overcame which brought a lot of new things to light. Not only was I touched by this novel, I learned a little history along the way.

Online Associate Degrees in Animal Science
Animal science degree programs typically require a combination of classroom and hands-on learning, so online programs are not common. Read on to find out more about animal science degrees at the associate's degree level, both campus-based and online. See what kind of classes you'll take and career options after graduation. Schools offering Animal Care degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
What Courses will I Take in an Animal Science Associate's Degree Program?
Animal science associate's degree program curricula typically combine life science courses on such subjects as animal nutrition, reproduction and genetics with courses on agricultural business. These programs focus on the production and management of livestock. They are designed for you to either enter the workforce upon graduation or continue your studies at a 4-year institution.
Your coursework will focus on developing skills that will help you find ways of improving the quantity, quality and processing standards of meat, poultry and eggs for consumers. In addition to some basic education and business courses, you will take classes on the following subjects:
- Animal nutrition
- Animal biology
- Breeding
- Animal diseases
- Livestock production
- Chemistry
- Agricultural economics
What Can I Do With My Degree?
Individuals entering the field of livestock production and management may work with livestock on ranches and assist in formulating nutrition and health programs. Graduates can work in meat processing plants as buyer assistants, processing technicians or quality control technicians. In addition, you may be qualified for entry-level positions in related fields, such as feed production, livestock equipment sales or animal breeding. Additional education and graduate degrees may result in career opportunities in management, research and teaching.
Can I Earn my Degree Online?
There are very few online animal science associate's degree programs. Some 4-year institutions offer two-plus-two degree programs in cooperation with community colleges. These programs allow the student to complete an associate's degree through a local community college and then complete the bachelor's degree from a university through distance education.
Students enrolled in an online program take the same courses as students in on-campus programs. Coursework may be obtained via the Web, videoconferencing and streaming video lectures. You will probably communicate with your instructor through e-mail and course websites. You will also need a computer with an Internet connection and word processing software.
To continue researching, browse degree options below for course curriculum, prerequisites and financial aid information. Or, learn more about the subject by reading the related articles below:

The Nationals are back in the news, actually, there are never really in the news this time of year, but they did sign a free agent today with P Jason Marquis set to join the team. Last season, Marquis pitched great for the Rockies going 15-13 with a solid 4.04 ERA. Marquis will be joining his 5th organization since 2000 after spending time with the Braves, Cardinals, Cubs and Rockies. In his career, Marquis is 94-83 with a 4.48 ERA in 231 starts. The Nationals rotation now looks like this
Nationals Projected Rotation
Jason Marquis
John Lannan
John Stammen
Garrett Mock / Ross Detwiler
Scott Olsen / Marco Estrada or 1st overall pick Stephen Strasburg (if he's ready to make the jump)
Note: Jordan Zimmermann is out for most of 2010 (elbow)
I guess Marquis will be an upgrade over a rookie starter, but the Nationals won just 59 games in 2009 so they need more help then just a Marquis signing, maybe Capps is on his way though.
The NY Post has a good story on why Jason Bay and Bengie Molina have yet to sign. They were offered contracts, Bay a 4-year / $65M deal and Molina a 2-year deal around December 10th and have yet to respond. Molina feels that he should wait on signing the deal as he thinks he can get more money out of the Mets if Bay decides to sign elsewhere.

aTunes is an open source, completely free and multi-platform graphical application that allows you to play MP3 files, as well as to organize your entire music collection, on any operating system.
Features at a glance
Key features include a tag editor, support for ID3v1, ID3v1.1 and ID3v2 tags, the ability to load and save playlists in the popular m3u format, OSD (On-Screen Display), as well as translations in numerous languages.
In addition, the application supports huge music collections with thousands of files, supports a wide range of audi formats, including MP3, OGG, WMA, WAV, FLAC and MP4, supports several playlist formats, and allows you to organize your music collection by metadata or folder.
Furthermore, it supports external devices to copy or synchronize music, supports podcasts, supports online radios, and includes Last.fm scrobbling integration.
Uniform graphical user interface across all supported platforms
Whether you use Linux, Windows or a Mac, the aTunes application looks and acts the same. It graphical user interface is uniform and feature-rich, allowing the user to easily play his or her favorite tracks, as well as to organize them without too much fuss.
Under the hood, availability and supported OSes
aTunes is a platform-independent application written entirely in the Java programming language, which means that it supports the GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems. Both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures are supported at this time.
On GNU/Linux, the program is available for download as binary archives that can be used on virtually any Linux distribution, as long as all requirements are met, as well as DEB files for Debian/Ubuntu-based operating systems.
Bottom line
Summing up, aTunes is a great application for enjoying your favorite tracks without paying for an expensive similar product. However, while Mac and Windows users will prefer to use the "real thing" a.k.a. iTunes, Linux users are more attracted to native applications written in either GTK+ or Qt.

The city's former traffic commissioner has a new plan to put tolls on East River bridges. But this proposal has some novel "selling points," including a first-ever toll for cyclists.
Plan to toll the bridges have come and gone over the past few years, but the latest one by Sam Schwartz is starting to pick up steam, maybe because it goes after everyone.
"I'm trying to be equal opportunity pain throughout the region," Schwartz said.
Schwartz, known as "Gridlock Sam" to many, wasn't kidding Friday when he told CBS 2's Marcia Kramer that his new plan to raise $1.2 billion a year tolling the East River bridges will hit a lot of people. He wants to make everyone pay, even some who think they should be exempt.
"I'm asking the bike riders to pay 50 cents each way to use the bridges coming into our Central Business District," Schwartz said.
Schwartz also wants to put a new surcharge on yellow and livery cabs, a surcharge on so-called "black cars" and a surcharge on parking in Midtown. New tolls would be put on the Ed Koch Queensboro, the Williamsburg, Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges.
Driver would pay $5 with E-ZPass; $7 without.

Immigration applicants and foreign residents are advised about another possible telephone scam involving U.S. Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS). If you receive a phone call from 800-375-5283, the USCIS general telephone number, and are asked for the information below, immediately hang up and do not provide the following information:
The USCIS has indicated that is looking into the matter.
Please remember that the USCIS never asks for personal information over the phone. If you receive a telephone call from anyone – including someone identifying himself or herself as a USCIS representative – you should never give payment or personal information over the phone.
As we reported last month, we learned of a telephone scam targeting USCIS applicants and petitioners, in which scammers used a technique called "Caller ID spoofing" to display a misleading or inaccurate phone number in a recipient's Caller ID. By posing as a USCIS official, the scammer requested personal information (such as Social Security number, passport number, or A-number), identified supposed issues in the recipient's immigration records, and asked for payment to correct these records.
If you have any questions regarding your immigration status, you should immediately contact a knowledgeable immigration lawyer like the Chicago immigration attorneys at the Shapiro Law Group. You can also contact the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283, or make an InfoPass appointment by visiting our website at http://infopass.uscis.gov/, to check on your immigration record.
If you have been a victim of a telephone scam, you should contact the Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ or appropriate state authority to report the incident. You may also want to contact an experienced immigration attorney in order to protect your legal rights.
More information on where to report scams in your state can be obtained at www.uscis.gov/avoidscams.
To help protect the public from scammers, the USCIS launched the Unauthorized Practice of Immigration Law (UPIL) Initiative, "to combat immigration services scams by equipping applicants, legal service providers and community-based organizations with the knowledge and tools they need to detect and protect themselves from dishonest practices."

OsMak may limit Napoles visitors-A A +A
Tuesday, May 27, 2014
THE Ospital ng Makati (OsMak) has the discretion to limit the visitors of businesswoman Janet Napoles, said Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesperson Chief Supt. Reuben Theodore Sindac Tuesday.
"It was on their custody and they should be the one to identify and limit the visitors of the patient," Sindac told Sun.Star in a text message.
He added that OsMak should also look over the influx of Napoles' visitors.
OsMak director Ishmael Peralta said he had been receiving reports that Napoles was accepting too many visitors which is a violation to the hospital's rules and regulations on visiting hours and number of visitors allowed per patient per day.
Peralta said the OsMak only allows two visitors per patient from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. every day.
Peralta said the PNP showed them "a very long list of authorized visitors." But even those outside the list were able to enter Napoles's room.
"People from the media are not in the list. But (we learned) that some media personalities have been allowed to visit her. That's a clear violation," he said.
Napoles has been at OsMak for almost two months already where doctors removed her uterus and ovaries due to a cyst.
After a month of recovery, Judge Elmo Alameda of the Makati Regional Trial Court branch 150, the court handling the serious illegal detention case against Napoles, ordered her return to the Fort Sto. Domingo in Sta. Rosa, Laguna as she was already given medical clearances by her doctors.
Napoles was supposed to return to Fort Sto. Domingo on May 23, but Alameda deferred the implementation of the decision after her doctors reported that she was experiencing vaginal bleeding, possibly due to stress.
Alameda will decide on the motion to recall the transfer of Napoles in Laguna on Thursday as Peralta is expected to submit a progress report regarding Napoles' health condition covering from May 26 to 29.
Aside from the serious illegal detention case, Napoles is also facing plunder cases for allegedly funneling the lawmakers' Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) to her fake non-government organizations in exchange for multi-million peso kickbacks. (Third Anne Peralta/Sunnex)

Dark Eagle: A Novel of Benedict Arnold and the American Revolution
Penguin Group USA, May 1, 2001 - Fiction - 522 pages
The Indians called him "Dark Eagle" out of respect for both his military genius and his ruthlessness. His men worshipped him as a hero. But as the legendary general of the Continental Army neared the pinnacle of success, things began to go wrong, drawing Arnold inexorably toward the greatest crime of the age, one that would forever make his name synonymous with the word "traitor". Meticulously researched and brilliantly rendered, Dark Eagle illuminates both sides of the Revolutionary War from 1775 to 1780. Harr traces Arnold's spectacular rise, culminating in his victory at Saratoga and his marriage to Peggy Shippen, the beautiful loyalist daughter of a prominent Philadelphia family, and Arnold's decline, culminating in his plan with Major John Andre and Peggy to betray Washington and deliver West Point to the British.

Italy the Week After Easter - "Culture Week"
I am traveling with my family of four for 8 days to Rome, Florence and Venice, beginning on the Saturday before Easter. I read that many Italians have a holiday the week after Easter and that State and and City-run Museums are free during that "Culture Week". Would you recommend buying multi-attraction passes (Roma Pass, for example) regardless, to gain access to the short line to avoid what I assume will be large crowds for these free museums? Do the Museums still have these lines available during "Culture Week", or do they not bother, since admittance is free?

Finally, my HG orange corrector. I would suggest this to anyone looking for orange.
I've tried some very dry products, like Bobbi Brown peach corrector. That stuff didn't blend but managed to crease within seconds. So, in comparison, this MAC cream isn't drying at all. I would compare the formula to MAC's Studio Finish concealer.
It's easy to blend this with other concealers, resulting in a not-so-bright peachy color.
Since it's a Pro product, meant for a palette, the packaging is annoying. I depot it into a small acrylic container. That's the only downside. Overall, my search for corrector is over and I'll re-order every time I run out.

For reference, I am an NC15 - 20, pale skin and dark eyes and hair. I also have hereditary dark circles that also stain my eyelids.
I have been through a lot of concealers, both high and low end. I used to use MAC studio finish in NW20 (I am yellow/olive toned but the warmer pink toned concealer helps counter dark circles) and it was OK, but not great and used to crease on me. Plus, my circles still peeked through. Then I moved on to MUFE Full Cover in no.5, which is amazing, but my circles still show through, even after 2 layers. I then bit the bullet and bought the Bobbi Brown corrector in light/medium bisque and that has really helped, especially when layered under either my MUFE full cover or my YSL Touche Eclat in 2. That said, I still felt like it was letting the darkness through, so I thought it was time to pull out the big guns and go pro.
This corrector really is bright orange. At the MAC store, the SA told me to mix it with my regular concealer as the pigment is strong and dark for my pale skin. She mixed it with NC20 and it worked pretty well, looking natural but not particularly bright. The darkness was still coming through a bit. I bought it anyway thinking I could experiment with it till I got it to work. I tried layering it under my concealer today but it totally didn't work - looked way too dark on me. Looks like I'll have to keep playing with it but from what I can tell, it might just be better to go back to Bobbi Brown.
Shame, was really hoping to find something that finally worked for me.

I am both glad that I got hold of this, and also regret not buying it earlier. I have fair skin with really dark circles, which is a huge problem since light coloured concealer doesn't work and a darker color obviously defeats the purpose. So for all you Indian women out there,this is your solution.
Ive tried them all, peach correctors, NW range of concealer,stage makeup...everything. This one beats them all! And since it works on colour theory,you are only applying a super thin layer of makeup under your eye. However,a concealer with a moist or tacky consistency will draw in a lot of the orange and start to look more orange than yellow. Not a good look. Ive found it works best with the studio finish concealer.
The only rant I have is that I do remember seeing this in almost every MAC store in india, packaged in little pots like the concealer. However out here in Philadelphia (turns out, all of North America actually), its a pro only product and can be ordered online, but it is available only in refill pans-Meaning most likely you cant try it out in store. Maybe they have more demand in India? No clue!
All that said, I would still purchase, untill someone either: 1.finds me a cheaper option
2. Finds me the pot version :-P

YES!! for you ladies with dark circles try out the Skin Corrector in Light Peach!! It is the only thing that truly lightens my circles. I have tried Cle de Peau beaute concealer and it doesn't work as good as the MAC one. The only downside is that it is only available from MAC Pro Stores so I can only get it in downtown Vancouver.
The other note is that it is the pan only so you need a container if you don't already have one. I just plopped it in one of my old MAC concealer pots.

I have a very light skin, probably nw10 - nw15, and I have some undereye puffyness that casts a shadow. With in the innereye a bit of green/blue/grey coloration. Well this product is truly amazing. Previously I had been using touche eclat no. 1, and even though thats an amazing product it didnt give me that freshness anymore. Now with a tiny amount of product using a small densly fibered eyeshadow brush i apply it in the shadowarea, blend it out a bit upwards, then apply mineralize skinfinish in light and the result is amazing. totally freshed up face, it doesnt dry out and doesnt cling in my fine lines, I am totally in love with this!!! So if you have light skin pick up this one, it does micacles!!
After waxing facial hairs a have terrible red bumps and this conceals that easily, though with severe redness I found that some extra foundation and then a powder helps best. Im quiete new to this one and still exploring the possibilities, but it surely covers redness on skin way better than the studio finish concealer does. And the texture is supercreamy, and when it is set you cant even see I have something on my face!!
now for both colors:
-creamy texture, so also good for dry skin
-covers specific problems
-cheap, because you buy them in a pan
-only available at pro-stores

I use this corrector after moisturising but before concealer and powder. It really does cover up extremely dark circles and pigmentation around the eye.
The trick is to use it sparingly - don't COAT your skin with bright orange but dab on enough so that you can blend it into your skin and let the orange neutralise the black/blue from within. If the orange gets on to skin that is not pigmented, it's going to show up as orange, so you want to be very careful with how much you use.
I apply mine with an eyeshadow sponge applicator, working in little dots on areas that are darkest (inner corners, part of nose where sunglasses rest and under the eye). The blending takes some time, but let the corrector work with your body heat to melt easily and you'll be fine. Most people use a brush. I find it deposits too much product in places I don't want it.
The concealer over the corrector is what does the trick, it covers up any too-warm, too-coral areas and covers up all the blue. I use Studio Sculpt, which of course needs setting - so Select Sheer goes on top.
The corrector is always out of stock in India, so I may have to pick up a refill when I holiday abroad. it lasts a very long time, since I use so little. But I'm glad I gave it a try. I have deep set eyes and dark circles don't help. The corrector really does brighten up my eyes.
Edit: If you need to tone down the orange (and I've found it helps to tone down orange even on NC 40 skintones) here's a tip: blend your corrector with a tiny drop of liquid foundation, mix it up to get an apricot shade and figure out the quantities to get the right balance of orange and yellow you want. It does offer more coverage than a concealer and makes the orange easier to blend in and camouflage the worst areas.

I use the studio finish skin corrector in Pure Orange and it really does help diminish dark circles under the eyes when used in conjunction with my concealer. I didn't think an orange color would work; however, it really does.

The Consumer Electronics Show, just concluded in Las Vegas, was the largest in the history of the annual trade show conference. Great news for those of us in the trade show exhibit and event marketing business. Attendance was up from last year, and there were more exhibitors taking up more floor space than ever. Given the trends of the recent past this is truly and encouraging sign, and the hope is it will be evidenced in trade shows and industry events for the rest of 2012.
At the same time, Microsoft Corporation has announced this was its last CES trade show exhibit. After careful ROI analysis Microsoft has determined that the annual multi-million dollar extravaganza is just not worth it. Instead, they are moving to more private events, virtual platforms and smaller exhibit venues. In short, targeting their market and measuring results.
So, if the "big boys" like Microsoft and Apple (who left CES two years ago) are abandoning the flagship tech show, is that a good thing or a bad thing? The show organizer's first reaction is understandably "bad" but, if the show is bigger than ever what does that mean? I see a good, very good sign…
Do you know where the second largest Google office is in the United States? Lower Manhattan. Once again, Silicon Valley has its sister site in NYC in Silicon Alley. The tech sector of the economy is seeing a resurgence nationwide (see the North Carolina Tech Triangle), and CES is mirroring this positive trend. As investors take a new look at these emerging companies, investment is followed by marketing plans, and marketing plans should continue to include face-to-face, trade show marketing. Somebody has to be inventing the new app that appears every 3 minutes and thankfully, it appears many of them want to be on the trade show floor, exhibiting at CES.
Now is a great time to consider your face-to-face, trade show marketing plan for the coming year. The earlier you commit to exhibiting at the show(s) for your industry the better off you are. Take a look at the web sites for the conferences your customers attend. You may find a great opportunity to meet, greet, and SELL.

What is RSS?
RSS is an abbreviation of either 'Really Simple Syndication' or 'Rich Site Summary' depending on who you talk to. RSS feeds are designed to be read by a special program on your PC, which allows you to subscribe to website 'feeds' that have frequently changing content.
What is an RSS feed?
An RSS feed is a list of topics which is made available from a web site, using RSS. To read the feed, the user installs a newsreader and enters the URL for the news feed. RSS news feeds are a replacement for email newsletters. Eventually, everyone will be reading their news via a feed reader.
This way you have full control on what you will receive, without the need for visiting multiple web-sites. The RSS way of reading news also helps to protect you from spam, because you can keep your email address private.
How do I start using RSS feeds?
You will need a piece of software called a feed reader that checks RSS feeds from your selected websites and lets you read any new articles that have been added to them.
Browser-based feed readers let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable applications let you store them on your main computer, in the same way that you either download your e-mail using Outlook, or keep it on a web-based service like Hotmail.
Once you have chosen a feed reader, all you have to do is to decide what content you want it to receive. For example, if you would like the latest Jobsgopublic news articles, simply visit the News section and you will notice an orange button on the right hand side of the page.
Jobsgopublic also allow you to choose specific newsfeeds you would like to subscribe to, including the latest jobs by sector or by location.
Search Jobsgopublic RSS Feeds
You also have the option of setting you own search criteria, to create your own specific newsfeed. Once you have entered your search criteria, scroll to the bottom of the page and see the RSS symbol.
Getting an RSS Reader
There is a range of different news readers available and new versions are appearing all the time.
Different news readers work on different operating systems, so you will need to choose one that will work with your computer.
News Reader - Windows
Mac OS X
- Bloglines
- FeedZilla
- NewsGator
- Microsoft Live
- My Yahoo!
- www.rssreader.com
- Google Reader
- Mozilla Firefox
How do I set up my jobsearch via RSS?
First you need to select your search criteria. I suggest performing a couple of searches within Jobsgopublic, when you are viewing your most accurate search, you can scroll to the bottom of the search page and click on the RSS Feed link.
This will be linked with your chosen RSS Feed Reader and you will now be able to view your search online, anywhere where you have internet connection.

Collaborative Incentive Research Grant
2016: Round 22
UPDATE: Funding notices will be sent early September
UPDATE: Award notices are expected to be sent early September.
The Collaborative Incentive Research Grants Program (CIRG) funds faculty research projects in their preliminary stages. The program encourages an interdisciplinary approach with a focus on participation from two or more CUNY campuses. The primary goal is to seed research that will become the basis of new external grant proposals. The program is administered by a Faculty Evaluation Committee, comprised of senior faculty from the colleges, and chaired by the Associate University Dean for Research.
The program is open to research projects in all disciplines. Investigators who wish to focus on a problem within a single discipline must be from separate CUNY colleges, while those researchers developing a cross-disciplinary project may be on the same campus if they are from different academic departments. Each proposal should be structured to reflect the engagement of all investigators.
Please download and carefully review all program guidelines and complete all proposal forms prior to submitting a proposal. Incomplete proposals will not be accepted by the online process.
All required documents are available for download as Microsoft Word documents but must be converted to PDF format after completion and before submission. The online submission form will only accept PDF documents.
Please direct program inquiries to:
Kevin Hawes
Programs Coordinator, Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research

I'm back to work on my usual weekly appearances on The Bill Handel Show on KFI Los Angeles (Fridays at 7:50a) and The John Donabie Show on CFRB Toronto (Saturdays at 7:50a). This week the big topics are, of course CES and MacWorld Expo.
CES, The Consumer Electronics Show, is wrapping up today in Las Vegas. It's big with 140,000 attendees this year (down from a peak of 150,000) and major media attention (NBC Nightly News broadcast from the show floor) but many attendees are complaining that there's not much to see of interest among the 2700 exhibitors filling 1.8 million square feet of exhibit space. In fact, I'm tempted to rename it the Craptastic Electronics Show.
In between all the cheap knock-off iPods, and stereo speakers made to look like garden rocks, there were some products of interest. Pioneer displayed a new Kuro 50″ plasma TV that's only 9mm thick – thinner than an iPhone – but it's only a "concept." No word on whether they'll ever make it.
OLED TVs garnered interest once again this year. In fact, Sony is finally selling one. The 11″ Sony XEL-1, just 3 millimeters thick, costs $2,500. Never mind.
Panasonic showed a 150″ Plasma screen – the largest ever – but if you have to ask how much… you can't afford it. It requires a 747 to transport it and you'll have to take the roof off your house to install it.
The biggest news at CES happened four days before the show began. Movie studio Warner Brothers announced that it would stop making HD-DVD versions of its movies and deliver Blu-ray only from now on. This is seen as a death blow to the HD-DVD format – only Universal and Paramount will continue to offer HD-DVD titles and rumors were flying on the show floor that those studios might soon defect to the Blu-ray camp, as well. Microsoft which had planned to preview an XBox360 with built-in HD-DVD quickly pulled that announcement, and the HD-DVD press conference scheduled for CES was abruptly cancelled.
Bill Gates also gave his last keynote at CES on Sunday night. Gates is retiring from day-to-day operations at Microsoft in six months. His speech, as usual, contained little news, but did feature a funny video of his "last day" at work which featured Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, George Clooney, and Bono.
One of the biggest players in consumer electronics, Apple, stayed away again this year. Last year Apple's iPhone announcement in San Francisco completely overshadowed CES in Vegas. This year, MacWorld Expo is a week later, so while Apple's not stealing attention from CES, it does feel a little like we're waiting for the other shoe to drop.
After a lackluster show like this, with high hotel prices, impossible cab lines, and very little news to take home, I have to wonder how long it will be before CES follows its late brother, Comdex, into the tradeshow graveyard.

Welcome back. How about some Macworld speculation, or at least a refresh of Macbreak Weekly. I miss that.
One thing I'd point out is that Apple sure does the Mystery Box thing well. I enjoyed J.J. Abrams TED presentation on the mystery box. I hope you don't mind if I post a link to some TED videos I like.

Apple influences is all over CES. CES is now the iPod expo! Over $5 billion in iPod accessories everywhere. Also Apple (FileMaker) was there showing off their new consumer data base program "Bento."
Lets have one quick Macbreak Weekly to get us ready before Macworld. It's been over three weeks!

A prediction. After Macworld this years CES will be all but forgotten. CES had no real innovations.
The most interesting thing was coverage that came from the bloggers and events like the bloghaus that podtech had. That they could do what NBC did with minimal recources shows the future of media.

I get the feeling that the journalists do not want to cover CES, they are obsessed with Apple. Sony, Motorola can announce 10 products, they are not even looking or reporting about they. They seem to be spending more of the time networking with each and speculate about Apple. It's like when you reluctantly go see a movie: there is no way you're going to enjoy it, even if it's great. Your mind is set before you arrive.
CES is a lot of work; reporting on Apple is much easier, just one or two products to cover. "The media is the message"! The nature of bloggers and tech journalist's media is the news here, not CES.
The problem I believe is there is *too much* news at CES, not that it's lackluster or somehow fails at what it is. Check CNet's written coverage for an overview of everything's that's gone on.
CES was probably more appropriate for an era of print magazine, where the journalist needed to fill a lot of pages with small articles. On the web, tech journalism know they will get more page views by getting you to come back updates on a very same small set of big – but simple – stories. Stuff that generates easy headlines.
The medium is the message. I believe the web-driven tech reported will by its nature always present CES as being lackluster, no matter what it does, because it's incompatible with what it wants.

I think a growing industry has lots of shows, because it's really important to see each new development. But we're in consolidation here on the computer front. It's important to differentiate yourself when the chip is always the same, or at least always the same architecture. But once 30 companies are putting out hi-def TVs, what's the point of seeing them all? There's too much for a human to see if they spend the whole thing looking. So nothing stands out.

January 13th, 2008 6:25 pm
Warner will continue to make HD-DVD movies through the end of May.
As far as CES is concerned, it is a show better suited to another decade, when we didn't know about upcoming products, before we knew the minute new devices applied for FCC approval.
It is too big, thats one of the drawbacks; there is no way to see it all and a lot of it is crap. You will often see the same vendor year after year displaying the same products. I think they need to split the show up. Automotive stuff should definitely have its own show; they could start there.

blu ray was destined to win because out of the box it was more capacious and capable. I am glad I never went to CES. What a waste of time seeing stuff you really want and never will get it. I guess it is good to see what is possible, but I can do that from the web thank you.
One thing is for sure. I don't need a HD-DVD player anymore.

So the HD-DVD/Blue-Ray war is over, but I wonder how much longer the DVD itself last? Sure we don't have bandwidth speeds yet to make downloadable HD video content totally viable, but I can't imagine it will be too far down the road.
And is Microsoft really hurt that much by this news? I think this just gives them more opportunity to promote HD content on Xbox Live.

This was my first CES and took it all in. As a professional, I didn't see many stunning announcements. However, it is always fun to see what is coming.
My main picks for the show were in the new display technologies. OLED, KURO, and 4K2K were incredible. Alex Lindsay may now have a display for future Red Camera content.
Other big deals for me were the new Sanyo XActi, Canon HV line, and Sony video.
Oh, and of course the obligatory sub-woofer heavy enough to be pulled from its mount by an engine lift. What will they think of next?

I'm sure at MacWorld we'll hear more about the iPhone later today. For those of you who are looking from a Community that is geared directly at iPhone users, I recommend looking no further than http://www.irovr.com/
This is a slick iPhone based website that really combines many of the features of a livejournal and twitter into one finger friendly site.
The ease of use and ability to upload photos to the site direct from your iPhone makes it pretty unique.
Someone might want to give it a look at.

Regarding Mr. L's comments on the Panasonic 150″ plasma TV…The rapidly evolving reality of cinema (home or commercial venue) is pure digital from take one to depositing the earnings from the legal digital download. In future the Cineplex of the Bay Area will be a two fifty seat cinema with a 1050″ inch Plasma showing spectacular hand made cinema or big house movies.
Don't dis it embrace the future. Thanks Panasonic!

Maybe CES didn't live up to the Hype but it did what its main function is. I was not Impressed by any of the products I saw. I'm still hoping for someone to create the Robotic Mobile stair climbing Fridge and Mini Oven that will bring you pizza and beer at a set time. Then return to its A/C charging base in between tasks, Maybe vacuum the Kitchen floor on its way back. I'm a bit of a dreamer…

Before Mac people begin to talk about Macword, maybe they should clean up their own camp first. As a new user to Macbook and Leopard (a Windows switcher and Windows PC User Group Editor), I must say I am totally fed up with APPLE rotten CARE that I purchased.
Here is a posting at Apple Forums that was posted Jan 19/08 and made disappear the next day. Of course I have reposted it in Apple's forum as well in my blog:
However, I cannot say that for Boot Camp. Here is a post I put in yesterday that somehow disappeared from this forum:
First of all, let me say that I am thoroughly disgusted with Apple Care techs.
I won't even talk about the upwards of 3 hours I spent waiting on the phone today waiting to get a tech, but what I want to say is the service is below an acceptable standard.
I will get back to this later on, for now I want to discuss the problem that 3 Apple Care techs acted as if they knew nothing of what I was talking about.
I activate Boot Camp Assistant, Load Windows Vista. After Vista loads it looks for drivers. I am then instructed to insert driver disc (Leopard). The problem is (and the problem these techs would not acknowledge or listen to) that I cannot eject the Windows disc to insert the Leopard disc for the drivers. The problem is that simple – the solution seems to be a wonderment or a secret.
So, I decided to seek the tech support I paid good money for…That is when more problems from Apple transpired.
After an hour wait I got a tech (who gave me the wrong case number) who had no idea what I was talking about. He kept saying it was a Windows issue and not Boot Camp. Finally, after about 30 minutes on the phone he said I was a Canadian and I had somehow been transferred to the American Apple Care and he then transferred me. This was another 30 minute or so wait until I got Apple Care tech Alec. Who acted the same way. For these guys to say "I don't do Windows†is wrong. Apple created Boot Camp for users to load Windows. They advertise this and they advertise the ease in which it is loaded. But when you seek help they play dumb and say they are not Windows guys that is truly not acceptable.
For any Mac reps who may be monitoring this post, this here is my case number I was given by tech Alec: 9150493, but guess what, he the other tech left out one digit and thus the number is incomplete. This "Alec†told me that to take a picture of the desktop with the problem and then call him back at: 1-800-275-2273 88 then extension 2210. Little did I know this was a lie. I tried that number and it is the same number I called for Apple Care before. The person who finally answered (after another 30 minutes) said I was not authorized to use that number.
At this point I gave up.
Now I am wondering why I spent good money buying the extended Apple Care tech support when these people do not support Boot Camp.

PS: How does one go beyond Apple's Apple Care? They just cannot keep blaming Windows. In fact, the Apple Tech told me to call Windows and complain. Wow, what customer care eh?

I think Steve Jobs has the right Idea and keep on going bring new products, because Bill has no more ideas. Long live Mac World!
