"The 7 Step Diabetes Fitness Plan: Living Well and Being Fit With Diabetes, No Matter Your Weight" (Marlowe & Co., 2006) is the book I hoped would be there for me one day if I were to be diagnosed with pre-diabetes.
Author Sheri R. Colberg, PhD, gives readers permission to try their best, to do what they can to manage their fitness and health and teaches them how to proactively care for themselves and their diabetes.
For years, the repeated chorus of "lose more weight" has echoed in my ears, just as it has in the ears of my patients when they see me after visiting their doctors.
Like them, and like you, perhaps, the older I become (and the less regularly active), the harder it has been for me to lose weight.
Colberg, an associate professor of exercise science at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va., offers an inspirational, "makes good sense" approach to preventing, and living well with, diabetes. Her book is not based or focused on an unrealistic amount of weight loss as the only means to good management of diabetes. Rather, the seven chapters coach readers on ways to achieve target-level blood glucose control and better overall health—and maybe some weight loss as an added side benefit.
Distributed throughout the book are more than 40 "No Matter Your Weight" tips that helped me to understand why it's fine to ignore my weight on the scale.
A type 1 diabetic herself, Colberg is one of the nation's leading diabetes fitness authorities, so it makes sense that her focus is on more and varied types of physical activity. But you don't have to join the nearest gym to start living well. Colberg goes beyond simply telling readers to exercise more. Instead she provides a step-by-step guide to achieve a healthier body. The book is filled with practical information and dozens of tips on physical fitness (including illustrated exercises and exercises you can do at home), stabilizing blood glucose through physical activity, nutrition and supplements, emotional health, diabetes medications, motivation and much more.
This book is a must-read for people at risk for diabetes, for people who have diabetes or for just about anyone who wants to achieve better health and fitness. Colberg's book is my ultimate diabetes fitness plan.

Whoa! Who's their new route setter? – RedPoint just keeps getting better and better! I've been climbing there for nearly four years, and I'll never go anywhere else to get my indoor climbing fix. They've got a few new setters, one of which reminds me of a sort of Bhuddist Moses, but radder. I'm loving their Tee's, too! Great for climbing in; really lightweight. Never better, guys! Oh, and check out their new MMA and CrossFit areas. Pretty sweet, as well.
Can't Get Enough!!! – I have climbed the walls at RedPoint so many times I have lost count! Every time I go in there I am greeted with a smile and by name. I can not get enough of this place! I'm not the best climber in the world but every time I climb there someone is always quick to help me or encourage me. I'm not intimidated at all! The bouldering wall is huge and the toprope routes are awesome! You can't say that there's nothing to do in Fayetteville because there's RedPoint...a home away from home!
Not too Good – I was in this gym for the first time today and really only liked a few of the routes. Some of the routes were rated 5.9 but were more like 5.5 way off. There was one section were the routes were traversing side ways but they sucked! I am new to Fay, but liked the Climbing Place routes a lot better. I meet some people that use to climb at Red Point but left due to the price being hundred more for a couple. There are a lot more military guys climbing at the climbing place since the price is much lower also.
Best indoor gym in Fayetteville – I just got back from this gym, and yet another day of great climbing. I've been a member for a little over 2 years now and I still love this place. I've read a couple of the other negative reviews and I think they are a little exaggerated . The gym does not have A/C, and it does get a little hot, but they open up the bay doors to get a good amount of air flow going threw the climbing side. The routes are great, with pleanty of choices and top rope stations, not to mention a HUGE boldering wall. Overall this facility is great, with a really cool staff and unique atmosphere.
Redpoint or deadpoint – Tied to climb in the gym and it was so hot I was soaked. Not worth getting a membership if I have to pay to climb in a hot sauna.
Both gyms in Fayetteville do not have A/C
I am paying for a place to train not sweat so much.
Not worth it to me I'll build my own home wall.
I am used to climbing in wellmanaged gyms that are cool in the summer and just warm enough to climb in the winter.
I do not recommend Redpoint or the other gym for climbing unless it is fall or winter.
Redpoint – The routes are set by staff the have no ideal what they are doing. Some of the most ridiculous routes I have ever seen. The boulder wall is so cluttered with routes it's a mess. Half the tape is missing and ratings are so far off. The top rope routes are just as stupid. I agree that there needs to be more lead routes in the gym. there is no airconditioning in the gym so it is too hot to even enjoy yourself. There are a few rope routes set by someone that are good to climb. The routes set by GI are stupid
Poor quality climbing routes – I was in the gym last week and the routes are just plain stupid. No feet, unrealistic, poorly rated, just bad. Heather has young kids that do not climb outside setting routes. The top rope/lead routes are even worse. Where did the focus of this gym go??????? She needs to put in more bolts for lead routes. She better get with it because rumor is the owner of the windtunnel is going to build a big climbing gym next to the tunnel. It will be as tall as the tunnel!!
I hope sooooooooooo
Price increase? Why? I do not see any improvements to justify the increase? – Price has increased but routes are very unrealistic. The gym has non-experienced climbers setting routes. The gym started out great but is at the same level as the old Climbing Place gym. ?The climbing gym has lost focus? Climbers want to climb good quality routes that are changeling and are rated correctly. I would recommend to the staff to clean it up, set proper routes with feet. Don?t let climbers set routes that never climb outside.
The bouldering area is so cluttered with routes its hard to know what route you are on.
Have less routes in the bouldering area. This will make replacing routes much eaiser. It's hard to climb a route when there are three routes with the same color tape???
I over heard the owner state that people do not come here for routes???????
Best Indoor Climbing this side of the Mississippi! – Go here if you want to climb stronger. The very best training ground if you can't get outside and the staff are killer cool! Plus, it's like a hidden Fayetteville treasure...which means I'm not sure I should be posting this review about it....but the better the place does, the more improvements they make, so come climb here! Good learning environment for new climbers too.

10 great photo apps for parents
Do you want 10 super-cute photo apps for your phone? Well Pip Lincolne has found 10 of the BEST apps around. Check them all out here.
Are you and your smartphone besties? I am very close to mine. We go everywhere together and it's my trusty accomplice in most adventures. Perhaps you are a bit like me? Perhaps your phone is not JUST a tool for communication, but a tool for documentation too? I find myself using my camera phone MUCH more than my regular (but very beautiful) camera. I think it's the compact size and the fact that it's always in reach at just the right moment.
Luckily for phone photo enthusiasts like me, there are a host of great apps that help me get the most out of my smartphone camera. Gone are the days when you would snap away with your clunky, so-called-new generation digital or clicky analogue camera. There's no more sorting through bad prints (although how much do you miss flipping through newly developed photos, fresh from the photo shop?!) Now we can take instant photos at high speed, alter them with all kinds of filters and embellishments, add text and even order prints, direct from our phone.
For parents, these apps can help us to document, process and share photos of our families with just a few clicks. Want to print photos from your phone to send to Grandma? Can do. Want to create a cute kid-centric screensaver for Aunty Lucy's phone? Can do. Want to make weekly photo mementos, scrapbook style, to file or print? Can do. Want to send a little smiley face with a birthday message instantly to family overseas? TOO easy.
Sometimes using a combination of these apps can give you a result even Photoshop aficionados would be impressed by. So get cracking! Here's a whole bunch of apps to make your life more photogenic:
1. Overgram : Free
Add text to your photos and then share them via Instagram or save them to your phone's camera roll. This is a good one for sending cute cheery photo messages to your nearest and dearest.
For iPhone here.
2. Whitagram : Free
This app adds nice white borders around your photos. You can also crop portrait oriented images so that they have a rectangular (landscape) format. I use this A LOT. You can share direct from this app to Instagram or save the images you edit/create to your phone.
For iPhone here (and similar for Android phones here.)
3. A Beautiful Mess : $0.99
This is a blogger's fave. From the ladies behind the blog A Beautiful Mess, this app lets you add text in all kinds of great fonts to your images. You can also add cute illustrations (stamps!) as well as resize, crop, add filters and doodles too. Doodles have GOT to be a good thing. Once you've created something cute, save it to your phone and share with your family or friends.
For iPhone here.
4. Instagram : Free
It's such a great app. Perhaps you are already an Instagram user. I love Instagram because it's an inspiring social network. It's best to have your account set to private if you are sharing photos of your kids. Privacy really is a concern, but if you only allow people you know (friends, families, school mums etc) to follow you, it's a great way to document your kids lives and keep in touch. You really can't beat the ease of use and immediacy of Instagram!
For iPhone here and for Android here.
5. Photosketches : Free
Put an arty spin on your photos with this cute sketchy app. You can choose all kinds of sketchy filters to turn your photos into a seemingly hand-drawn work of art. Super cute, right? Then save the image to your phone for later sharing or printing or just cooing over.
For iPhone here and similar for Android phones here.
6. Path On : $1.99
I love this app. You can upload an image, swoosh your finger across the screen in a cute pattern and then apply text where you 'swooshed', so to speak. You can also add text in a heap of other shapes and this app comes loaded with some amazingly great (non-fugly) fonts too. You can share from the app to all the major social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr) or save to your phone. Download this. You will love it.
For iPhone here.
7. InstaStitch : Free
This is one of the best collage type apps for smartphones. Simply download, choose your collage configuration (from two images to many, many more) and then click the little plus sign in the chosen grid/arrangement to add images. You can then save to your phone or share via social networks or email. You can create a little montage of your kids doing interesting things, or add a whole bunch of individual family shots to one image. Super useful.
For iPhone here and similar for Android here.
8. VSCO Cam : Free
A lot of very good photographers are using this pro photography app. If you're looking for a bit more than your phone's camera can offer, this is a great app to try. It offers some great image filters and tweaks so your quite good photos will become spectacular (we hope!). A great option for portraits and making-memories type shots.
For iPhone here.
9. BigW Photos : Free
This is one of the first Australian shoot and print apps. I'm excited that there will be more and more of these. It's a bit clunky to use, but bear with it. This app allows you to select a whole bunch of photos (or just one) from your phone's camera roll and print them in varying sizes and finishes (or into posters and the like!) You pay via your phone and can either pick up the prints at your local BigW or have them mailed to you. Win-ning. I love this. This is what phone photography should be about, not just taking those great shots to share online, but printing them to share too!
For iPhone AND Android here.
10. Photoshake : Free
This app is heaps of fun and your kids will love it too. Download, then select (or shoot) a whole bunch of photos and a simple layout. Shake your phone. The app does the rest, slotting the photos into different configurations until you are happy with the result. CUTE! There's in-app sharing to a heap of other sites, including the usual social networks and even wifi sharing to other devices in your home. Fancy!
For iPhone here and Android here.
Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to rad apps. New ones pop up all the time and it's definitely worth testing them out (and keeping your old ones updated too!).

The Rangers chief executive Charles Green has apologised to Aston Villa after he described the Midlands club as "useless".
Green's comments came as he lamented the huge financial disparity between the Premier League and the Scottish top flight at a press briefing late last week.
He said: "How can Man United's revenues be £320 million and Aston Villa, who are completely useless, get £250 million?"
But he has now said sorry to Villa, issuing a statement in which he explained: "During a press briefing, I was asked how I saw the future of football.
"I was explaining how I believed that the current situation, where clubs in England are receiving massive revenues from television rights yet remain behind the big clubs in England and Europe in terms of success in competition, is unlikely to continue forever.
"Some of my remarks were taken out of context, and I apologise unreservedly to Aston Villa, whom I know full well to be a club with a proud history."
Villa said they had accepted Green's apology, and a club statement added: "Villa were surprised when Charles Green took a swipe at the club.
"Whilst admittedly bizarre and out of left field, Green did later apologise and we are hoping that, going forward, Green will retreat to his day job and leave the cutting remarks for those standing on somewhat stronger footing."

Comments about NUXE Soleil Prodigieux Self-Tanning Face Cream, 1 ea:
Maybe it is because I use cleansing oil and Retin A -- but this stuff is only a subtle bronzer for me. Not a tanner. Nothing sticks around after I wash it off.
That being the case, it dries quickly, it doesn't clog my pores, and it doesn't make my skin look bad. But what it does my tinted moisturizer does better. So, while I can't say it is bad, I can say it was not what I was looking for.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The three sample/trial rooms have given us a great look into what's to come! The renovated guestrooms are expected to be complete by the end of 2011.
We are so excited to share a sneak peek at our new guestrooms with you. After many months of meeting with designers and long nights debating which direction should we go; Modern-chic Italian, or Classic Traditional Italian. We have come away with a great marriage between Modern and Classic Traditional Italian.
Our goal is to capture your heart with the warmth, love, and emotional feeling of Italy while enhancing your stay with modern luxury, conveniences, and technology. Each guestroom is more like a bedroom, with an independent feeling as opposed to the standard hotel cookie cutter room.
The guestrooms and bathrooms are the largest in Chapel Hill with plenty of space to spread out. The bathrooms have gorgeous hand-laid tile, and powerful showers with massaging jets. In addition we have installed dual flush toilets, and bright energy efficient lighting. The bedroom's rich colors, soft fabrics, and luxurious bed create a feeling of relaxation and comfort.
On the technology side of the new guestrooms, the complimentary high speed wireless bandwidth has been increased throughout the hotel. Along with MP3 player docking station/alarm clocks, and 40" to 46" HD televisions with a large selection of HD programming.
We'll keep you posted as we continue the renovations. If you have any questions or comments please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or call me at 919-929-4000.

School testing to undergo statewide transformation
By Janice Steinhagen - Staff Writer
Region - posted Wed., Mar. 13, 2013
As elementary school students across the region spend a good chunk of their March school days filling in ovals on standardized test sheets, their teachers and school administrators are looking ahead to a new method of student evaluation that will spell the end of the Connecticut Mastery Test. The CMT, which for more than two decades has served as a benchmark for student academic performance across the state, is being phased out in favor of the Smarter Balance evaluation tool, scheduled to be fully implemented in the 2014-15 school year.
The new test, which will be administered by computer and have more open-ended questions, will measure students against the Common Core, a nationally-mandated set of standards for education that Connecticut adopted several years ago and has been gradually phasing in for public schools across the state.
The CMT was designed to assess how closely students meet state-set standards in reading, writing, math and science, said Voluntown Elementary School Principal Alicia Sweet Dawe. It was also aimed at increasing accountability and encouraging high standards for public school districts. It became obligatory for all students in grades 3 through 8 in 2006, and the science portion was mandated for students in grades 5 and 8 in 2008. Each student participates in about seven hours of testing yearly, she said.
The CMT has drawn its share of controversy over the years, said Joseph Stefon, director of curriculum for the Norwich school district. The test was intended to help educators identify weak areas of student performance so teachers and students could work together to improve them. However, it has since morphed into a set of statistics with much broader influence outside the classroom. "It was not going to compare one district to another, and that's happening. It was not going to compare one school to another within a district, and that's happening," he said.
Ultimately, the CMT was seized upon by parents, media and even real estate professionals as a means to rank the entire district's performance and quality of education, compared to towns with similar socio-economic make-up, Stefon said. "They base the quality of the district on just one test," not taking into account other academic, cognitive and creative factors, he said.
That high profile for CMT scores means that the stakes are higher for good school performance, and critics say that has led to "teaching to the test" – interrupting the organic flow of the school year to cram for the material covered in the CMT. Stefon said that should not be the case, but admits that it does happen even though in reality it may not do much good. "If you have good teaching going on all the time, I don't know that [teaching to the test] with young students is going to work," he said.
While all students from grades 3 through 8 take some form of CMT, third-graders who are new to the test format may need prior instruction on how to fill in the forms correctly, he said.
Implementing online tests for the Common Core will mean that "districts that don't have up-to-date technology will have to get moving on that," said Stefon. It will also mean a longer window of time for testing – three months instead of three weeks – and a more sequential format, testing specific skills as students build on them through the grades, he said.
Griswold Superintendent of Schools Paul Smith said that the online format will make test results available to teachers and administrators much faster, enabling them to intervene in trouble areas more quickly. The Common Core standards, he said, "represent for us a pretty sweeping reform of the curriculum on a national level." The nation-wide standards will enable fairly accurate comparisons of school performance from state to state, not just town to town, he said. Higher standards "can only be positive for all our students," he said.
But, he added, the state is simultaneously adjusting its teacher evaluation standards, basing 40 percent of the scores on CMT results, despite the CMT's impending phase-out. In addition, the state currently has a waiver on meeting No Child Left Behind benchmarks for adequate yearly progress, and there will be what Smith called "an awkward bump" when the state transitions from the CMT to Common Core standards of measurement.
And like all standardized tests, "there are a lot of important things that the CMT and the Common Core don't test that we know our children have to achieve to succeed," said Smith. These include such areas of growth as creativity, collaboration and higher-order thinking. "We certainly want reading and math scores to improve, but not at the expense of [these areas]," he said.

Abby Joseph Cohen Named Chair of the Board of Trustees of
The Jewish Theological Seminary,
Succeeding Gershon Kekst
New York, NY, June 12, 2009—Abby Joseph Cohen, Senior Investment Strategist and President of the Global Markets Institute at Goldman Sachs, has been named the first woman to chair the Board of Trustees of The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) effective July 1. She succeeds Gershon Kekst, founder and President of Kekst and Company Incorporated.
Ms. Cohen, one of the most prominent women on Wall Street, joined the JTS board in 2004. Her involvement with JTS has spanned many areas, including committee work on governance and investment and service on the chancellor search committee. Ms. Cohen was honored by JTS in 2001 with the Louis Marshall Award, presented to individuals who demonstrate the philanthropic commitment embodied by Louis Marshall, an esteemed constitutional lawyer and former board chair of JTS. Ms. Cohen joined Goldman Sachs in 1990, where her work is focused on the intersection of economic trends, public policy, and financial markets. She provides research and counsel to investors, corporations, and governments around the world.
"We are incredibly fortunate to have the experience and insight that our new chair, Abby Joseph Cohen, brings to JTS," said Professor Arnold M. Eisen, Chancellor of JTS. "I have gotten to know her—since her pointed questions to me when I appeared before the chancellor search committee—as a probing intellect and a wise, committed, and caring human being. She is not only a visionary leader in finance, but a dedicated philanthropist in a number of areas, particularly higher education and the preparation of future Jewish leaders. Abby is deeply committed to Judaism and to JTS. I am excited at the prospect of working with her closely in the months and years to come.
"Abby assumes the helm of the JTS board from Gershon Kekst, whose tenure has been marked by years of incomparable growth at JTS," continued Chancellor Eisen. "He has brought to the leadership of JTS a great deal more than business acumen and public relations expertise. Gershon is a man of deep faith whose dedication to Conservative Judaism and this institution make his counsel utterly invaluable. It has been an honor and privilege for me, as well as a source of enormous pleasure, to work with him. All of us at JTS are profoundly in his debt and look forward to his continued involvement as a trustee and chair emeritus."
"I'm honored to serve as board chair," said Ms. Cohen. "JTS, founded in 1886, has long played an essential role in educating leaders in the clergy, academia, and the community. This will continue. The century-old tradition of academic excellence is reflected in all our undergraduate and graduate schools and in our deep commitment to the next generation of students. My colleagues on the JTS board enthusiastically support the institution's core mission to provide outstanding educational opportunities on campus and to respond to the growing demand for high-quality instruction in the Jewish world more broadly. Leaders trained at JTS will engage in the vital religious and secular issues of our day as rabbis, cantors, academics, Jewish educators, and well-informed laity."
"The past eighteen years have been transformative for JTS and the school stands today as a vital institution of Jewish learning with a bright future," said Mr. Kekst. "It is a great center of scholarship and research, teaching, and training, and a steadfast base for building thriving Jewish communities. I am thankful to have worked with and learned from its exceptional leadership, faculty, student body, and Board of Trustees, and it has been gratifying to work with Abby Joseph Cohen; I am very pleased that she will be succeeding me as chair. Abby's career in business and public service has decisively proven her to be a thinker and leader of rare perceptiveness, drive, and character. I can think of no one better qualified or more appropriate to shepherd the JTS board, and I look forward to continuing to work with her as a fellow trustee of JTS."
Many of Abby Cohen's other volunteer commitments also focus on education and on public policy. She is a Trustee Emerita and Presidential Councillor at Cornell University and a member of the boards of the Weill Cornell Medical College and the Brookings Institution. She previously served as chair of the board of the 90,000-member Chartered Financial Analyst Institute from which she received the Distinguished Service Award. An adviser to the investment committees of Cornell University and Major League Baseball, she serves on the national board of the Smithsonian Institution and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Abby Cohen holds degrees in economics from Cornell University and George Washington University and has received three honorary doctorates, including one in engineering. Ms. Cohen has been recognized as a leader in US portfolio strategy for more than fifteen years, and has been ranked number one by Institutional Investor magazine and Greenwich Associates. Her career is the subject of a Harvard Business School case study and a Business Week cover story. Ms. Cohen has been honored by many groups, including the Financial Women's Association, New York Stock Exchange, Wall Street Week Hall of Fame, and leading financial publications. She began her career as an economist at the Federal Reserve Board in Washington DC.
The Cohen family is deeply involved in Jewish campus life. Abby's husband, David M. Cohen, serves on Hillel's International Board of Governors, the organization's highest consultative body, and has been a member of Hillel's Executive Committee for several years. Abby and David received the Cornell Hillel Tanner Prize for their contributions to Cornell and the Jewish people, and were honorees at the Hillel 2006 gala. David Cohen is Deputy Commissioner and Labor Counsel of the New York City Police Department.
Gershon Kekst has been a JTS trustee since 1989 and assumed leadership of the board in 1991. His tenure, at eighteen years, is the longest continuous service in that role since Louis Marshall. The son of Hebrew teachers, he has focused his philanthropy and communal leadership on Jewish education and science.
Highlights of his tenure include the appointment of Chancellor Eisen, the establishment of the William Davidson Graduate School of Jewish Education, and the creation of the Women's League Seminary Synagogue. He also oversaw the expansion of JTS internationally through the formation of Jewish education programs in Russia, Argentina, and Israel. In addition, Mr. Kekst supported the forging and strengthening of critical partnerships between JTS and other arms of the Conservative Movement and other Jewish institutions. A notable accomplishment is expanded interfaith outreach, most recently with the Muslim community, that has resulted in frank dialogue and joint social action projects.
Editors/Reporters: Abby Joseph Cohen, Gershon Kekst, and Chancellor Arnold Eisen are available for interviews by contacting Eve Glasberg at (212) 678-8089 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

"For a woman who has moved world markets with her every word, Abby's leadership style is remarkably understated. It is defined by forceful, but quiet wisdom; by humility and compassion; and by setting ambitious goals and implementing them with rigor and excellence. Particularly during these challenging times, her passion and wisdom will inspire creative solutions and help position Jewish education at the top of the communal agenda."
— Richard Joel, president, Yeshiva University

"Abby Cohen is an outstanding leader and a terrific choice to chair The Jewish Theological Seminary. Abby has always impressed me with her enthusiasm, intelligence, willingness to give back to society, and ability to bring organizations to new heights."
"I congratulate Abby Cohen on her election at JTS. Along with her experience, she will bring leadership and honor to a distinguished Jewish institution of higher learning.

She has demonstrated, with talent and commitment, that it is possible to reconcile financial achievement with ethical principles."
"Gershon Kekst has served as chairman of the JTS Board of Trustees for eighteen years—a term unprecedented in length and productivity. During those years he has earned the respect, admiration, and affection of his colleagues on the board, JTS's faculty, its students, and the broader community that JTS serves. JTS is a better place by virtue of Gershon's leadership, and it is reassuring to know that he will continue on the board as our chairman emeritus."
— Robert Rifkind, JTS board member
"Gershon has led JTS with the same wisdom and integrity and special humanity that he has brought to all his endeavors. All of us—institutions and individuals alike—are enriched by his leadership and his friendship, and his unerring and unselfish commitment to JTS."
— Jeffrey Rosen, JTS board member
"Gershon Kekst brought together his extraordinary skills, his business and communal experience, the respect in which he is widely held, his wisdom, and his deep affirmation of the import of JTS for the Jewish future and infused them all into the institution that he loves. His record of volunteer leadership will provide a model long into the future."
— John Ruskay, executive vice president & CEO, UJA Federation of New York

Wall Street remains too bullish on the job marketApril 9, 2013: 5:00 AM ET
Economist Dean Baker, who called the jobs market correctly in March, says the outlook for hiring is likely to remain weak.
FORTUNE -- For the past month or so, economist Dean Baker of the left-leaning Center for Economic Policy Research, has been saying that hiring wasn't nearly as strong as it appeared. Few listened, but they should have.
For March, economists on average expected employers would add about 220,000 workers to their payrolls. In fact, the number came in at 88,000.
Baker says few people should have been caught off guard. He saw a number of signs that indicated the jobs numbers were sure to drop. Worse, Baker says Wall Street remains too optimistic about the job market, still expecting a rebound later in the year. Baker doesn't see that.
MORE: Why the Fed can't help the long-term unemployed
Instead, he thinks the economy will average job growth of around 100,000 for the rest of the year, better than March, but not enough to continue to bring down the unemployment rate. "I don't see a good picture for the rest of the year," says Baker. Here's what else Baker had to say about the job market for the rest of the year, and why he thought a slowdown was in the cards.
Why is hiring slowing?
First of all, the weather. If we don't get hit by a snowstorm, it makes a difference at the beginning of the year. Hiring looks better than usual. And that's what happened. But all that is doing is taking away from jobs that usually get filled later in the year, when the weather improves.
Second, everyone is talking about the big rebound in housing. But it's not really translating into this boom in construction. It's up, and now accounts for about 2% of GDP, but that's still way down from where it was. Residential construction spending had been 6% of the economy before the recession.
MORE: Investor frenzy over housing has peaked
Lastly, consumption remains down. Before the recession, the savings rate was essentially zero. Now it's been around 4%. That's a big difference and a huge cut in consumption.
But consumer spending appears to be up, even though everyone thought it would drop after the payroll tax increase. Isn't that a sign that the U.S. consumer is back?
There are other things going on that are making the consumption picture look better than it is. At the end of last year, a number of companies paid special or larger than usual dividends. That extra investment income is what has been driving up consumption recently. But those dividend payments didn't go to most Americans, just the wealthy. So I think if you compared the recent sales of upscale retailers to Wal-Mart (WMT) you would see a very different picture.
That's how you get to 100,000 jobs a month for the rest of the year?
We are only looking at an economy that is growing at 2% a year. And that's before the drag from the sequester deal, which will begin to slow the economy and the job market in April. So I would be shocked if the economy were to grow much more than that. And that's about what the average Wall Street economist thinks GDP will do. Yet, on the other hand those same economists are predicting job growth of more like 200,000 a month. That's not a huge disconnect, but the gap doesn't make sense to me. Seems very optimistic to me.

Veronica Carlson
David Miller, author of The Peter Cushing Companion, meets Veronica Carlson, one of Hammer's most beautiful and accomplished leading ladies.
(interview first posted January 2001)
Veronica Carlson and David Miller at the launch of David's book The Peter Cushing Companion
in 2000.
Picture by Peter Nicholson.
Veronica Carlson starred in three Hammer horrors. She appeared as Maria opposite Christopher Lee's Dracula in Dracula Has Risen From the Grave in 1968, played Anna Spengler to Peter Cushing's Baron Frankenstein in 1969's Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed and then appeared with Ralph Bates' youthful Baron in The Horror of Frankenstein in 1970. She also appeared in Tyburn Films' The Ghoul, again with Peter Cushing.
Although Veronica was born in Yorkshire, her father was stationed in Germany for the early part of her life and she lived on an RAF base. After a spell living in Kenley (where, coincidentally, Peter Cushing was born) Veronica attended High Wycombe College of Technology and Design, where she studied art. She now lives in Florida with her husband and three children and is a professional artist.
Did you start drawing as a child?
I have a school report which says 'Veronica loves to draw' and that was when I was four. I have never not drawn. When I went to Thetford Girls' School I caused a bit of trouble. They would want to draw soppy things like flowers and bees and I said "I'd like to draw a face. I'd like to know how a skull works." I was told, "Veronica, go and sit down!" So I went to art college and found out how a skull worked. It's rather a solitary thing, painting, and I've found that I like my own company.
You also participated in college dramatic productions.
We used to do things for charity, rehearsing in the lunch-hours and the evenings. There was a lot of operatic work. We did Trial by Jury and The Conspirators by Schubert, in which I played Bella. The musical director was going to do Offenbach's La Vie Parisienne and I was supposed to be playing the lead. but I was about to sit my finals so I was told I couldn't.
Is it true that James Carreras, the chairman of Hammer, saw your photo in the papers and hired you?
I'd done a couple of small parts in films and then I was on the front of the Sunday Mirror. A wonderful photographer called Ben Jones took me down to the south coast and took some photographs of me coming out of the water. Apparently Jimmy Carreras saw one in the Sunday Mirror and said "That's the girl for my next picture." So I was called in. I had to have an audition of course, but I was given a part in Dracula Has Risen From the Grave. James Carreras was a lovely, affable man. I warmed to him straight away. He took me under his wing — which was a very comforting wing. I learned that it wasn't just me, he was a person who was magnanimous, generous and thoughtful to everybody.
You were immediately working with some of Hammer's finest.
Veronica with Christopher Lee in a publicity still from Dracula Has Risen From the Grave.
I was so lucky. Christopher Lee was very approachable and enormously generous. He obviously sensed that I was nervous, and made sure that I wasn't nervous any more. I loved his Dracula — he was like a dark presence, like an animal. Freddie Francis is a brilliant cinematographer and I loved the look of
Risen From the Grave. I used to love walking around the empty sets, it was like being in a fairy-tale. At the first read-through, I found myself sitting at a table with all these exquisite people, Christopher, Rupert Davies, whom I'd admired for ages, Barry Andrews and dear Michael Ripper. On the first day my dressing-room was filled with flowers from the producer Aida Young and Freddie and good wishes from everybody — I felt like I was a star! I have a photograph that I cherish of the ladies doing my hair on the film — Freddie would call them Freeman, Hardy and Willis — hair, costume and make-up. My sister Elizabeth came to the set of Dracula Has Risen From the Grave and had a migraine because of the excitement. She couldn't see and was very frightened. Kevin Francis, who was a runner for his father, was wonderful — he took her to the sick-bay and looked after her and gave her cold compresses for her head and water to drink. He couldn't do enough for her. In the evening we went to a preview of The Devil Rides Out. Chris Lee was there, and was laughing and was loving it. Kevin Francis [who worked on the production and later founded Tyburn Films] was one of the sweetest people to me then.
How did you feel about working with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing?
Veronica and her pet squirrel Beastie, with Peter Cushing on the set of Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed.
Both of these men were great heroes — people I admired. So when I was lucky enough to get the film with Christopher, I didn't think that I would meet Peter. And suddenly, there he was! He came in to help to accept the Queen's Award to Industry. I was standing between these two men and suddenly I felt so special and so famous! Immediately after
Dracula they were talking about me doing the next one. It was a wonderful compliment that the film had been successful and they wanted me to do another one. I'd learned so much. In Frankenstein we not only had Peter but some of the best actors in England, Freddie Jones, Simon Ward, Maxine Audley and Windsor Davis. Terence Fisher was the director, and he treated me like a proper professional. He was happy to let me walk down the road on my own, so to speak.
Did you enjoy working with Freddie Jones?
Oh yes! In the scene in the cellar, I had a confrontation with Freddie. After Terry said "Cut!", Freddie came up to me and said "I saw real fear in your face, and I was moved." All these seasoned actors were giving me so much. Peter did too — it was the scene in the outhouse when I got out of bed and came down. Peter came in and as I went out I squeezed myself into the door frame. I don't think we even rehearsed it, it was just an instinctive thing. He said "Darling that was wonderful, I really felt I repulsed you." Everything happened to poor Anna — if she hadn't been killed she would have gone mad.
The rape scene was added quite late wasn't it?
It was a terrible time. James Carreras was bound by the wishes of the distributor — I think if he had had a say in things we wouldn't have done it. But they wanted more sex. If the rape scene had been in the script from the beginning it would have been better, I could have reacted to it. It would have been a whole different dimension to the awfulness of Frankenstein. We tried to find ways around shooting it — Terry got really distressed, threw the script in the air and walked off the set. I'd done an episode of The Saint with Roger Moore and Roger came from his set next door to comfort me.
Then you appeared in The Horror of Frankenstein...
Ralph Bates played the youthful Baron in The Horror of Frankenstein. Veronica co-starred with Kate O'Mara.
Jimmy Sangster was the director, with Ralph Bates and Kate O'Mara. It's sad, but Jimmy is often slated as a director. He would take us to lunch and talk through what we were going to do. He said "If you're going to laugh about anything, you can laugh about it now because when we get on the set we are going to be serious." Jimmy was a professional — he was a strict and wonderful director and I'd love to work with him again.
You later appeared in The Ghoul for Freddie Francis.
Freddie invited me back for The Ghoul and Kevin was a producer by then. They'd seen what I'd done in the meantime so we had lunch at Pinewood, and they asked me back! I was so comfortable to be working with Freddie again and it really was the greatest compliment they could have paid me.
How was Peter Cushing during filming?
Peter was very upset. He was probably at his lowest ebb [after the death of his wife, Helen] and he was filming the scene where, as Dr Lawrence, he had to talk about his wife committing suicide. When he acted, he wasn't actually acting, he was living the role. He broke down and it was terribly difficult for all of us. He was having to cope with that in his daily life. Everybody who knew and loved Peter kept him working, because for him, working was better than thinking about Helen. If he could have seen the incredible reception that these films are getting now, it's amazing. He would have been afforded such a welcome! That's why I'm so glad you've done this book. It shows how much Peter did, and how much he cared about what he did.
Why do you think Hammer films are still so popular?
Veronica Carlson and David Miller at the launch of David's book The Peter Cushing Companion in 2000. Picture by Peter Nicholson.
When we were doing the Hammers we used to come in early — it was rather against Equity regulations — but we wanted to be there. We didn't want to miss a moment of it. We all wanted it to be perfect. Everyone wanted everything to be perfect. There's a wonderful group of people out there that cherish everything that Hammer was. And realise
what it was. It was people like Freddie and Terry and Christopher and Peter who cared very deeply about what they were doing. And that's why thirty years on people are still interested in Hammer.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"this invitation exceeded my expectations. I had ordered a sample card before I purchased it and the final product came out beautiful! I used the Chambord color to match the theme of my wedding and it was pretty. It was not as purple as I was expecting but it was still gorgeous. I also used the Pearl Shimmer paper which gave it an extra level of class. Everyone who has received the invitation comments on how beautiful it is; I am really impressed with this product. Shout out to Alain who helped make the final product more cohesive."
"I ordered these in the gray (as shown). They were absolutely stunning! We were planning a classy event that was not casual but not super formal. These were the perfect invitation to capture the simple elegance we were going for. Our family and friends raved about them! Plus the thermography always adds a little something extra as opposed to flat ink on a page. (The ink is raised on the page - very sophisticated). They order was shipped quickly and the design team was wonderful to work with. When I edited the invitation, it looked perfect but then when I went to finalize it the text tightened up and the text didn't fill out the page (horizontally) as much. I mentioned this to the design team and they agreed and fixed it immediately. LOVE LOVE LOVE these. You can't go wrong."
"I fell in love with this design, purchased it for my RSVP cards, and will use it for menus, thank you cards, and possibly programs as well. Last-minute I decided to have the invites printed with a photo on the back...absolutely no regrets there. The invitations are gorgeous, even better than I was expecting. The paper is of nice thick quality, the design is beautiful and classy, and they look overall much more expensive than they were. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas for helping me achieve my dream wedding on budget!"
"I am EXTREMELY picky. All brides are in fact, and I had so much anxiety over ordering these because I didn't want to have the frustration of having purchased something online and being let down upon receipt. After much trepidation, I finally ordered these invitations and selected the pearl shimmer enhancement. When I received these I was blown away. It all looked so beautiful. I know that the invitation sets the mood for the wedding from the guest perspective and these embody the elegant theme I am going for. The customer service was exceptional. I found them to be prompt, and attentive. I love my invitations. My mother (also hard to please) teared up when she saw them, as did I. They are quite lovely. Don't hesitate if you are on the fence about these."
"I absolutely loved this card for invitations! I prefer the rounded edges and I had a ton of compliments for the invitations. The first order we had was absolutely perfect and had everything we wanted! However, when we ordered more, the edges were not rounded though they were on the original invitation order and the wrong envelope size was sent. I didn't have time to re-order or send them back so we had to cut the invitation in order to make them fit properly in the envelope. Besides the little problems with the second order, I would highly recommend this product!"

Homes strategy is not doing enough
4:34pm Thursday 19th December 2013 in News By Hugh Cadman
WILTSHIRE needs 7,000 more homes than a key planning blueprint allows for, according to a Government-appointed inspector.
Wiltshire Council's Core Strategy, which sets out aims for the county over the next 12 years, was submitted this summer and called for 37,000 new homes to be built.
However, in a letter sent to the council as part of a review of the strategy, planning inspector Andrew Seaman has claimed this will fall short of what is needed.
In it, he said: "A housing figure as low as 37,000 homes over the plan period does not appear justified."
He added: "My current interpretation of the evidence leads me to find that the objectively assessed housing need... would be in the region of 44,000 homes for the plan period."
Mr Seaman also says that the requirement for a minimum of 40 per cent affordable homes to be provided on sites of five or more new dwellings is not justified in the evidence and could jeopardise the whole plan.
He said: "The core strategy can reasonably be aspirational but must also be capable of delivery."
He said he cannot come up with an alternative figure from the evidence and asks the council: "I would appreciate your constructive thoughts on how to progress this matter."
He said he also wants the council to obtain more reliable information on the provision to be made for travellers.
Toby Sturgis, Cabinet member with responsibility for strategic planning, said the council would consider the inspector's comments.
He said: "The inspector has highlighted some areas where we need to provide more information. One of these areas is our housing allocation figures, which he believes needs to be higher.
"We will look into this and provide more information."

BWW Reviews: A SECOND HELPING Served Up at Dutch Apple
Ever since Garrison Keillor put pen to paper and voice to American Public Radio, Americans have wondered about that curious species, the Minnesota Lutheran. Janet Letnes Martin and Suzann Nelson capitalized on this curiosity in "Growing Up Lutheran", the book and stand-up event that created CHURCH BASEMENT LADIES by Greta Grosch, with music and lyrics by Dennis Curley and Drew Jansen and that's currently playing at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre in Lancaster.
A SECOND HELPING: THE CHURCH BASEMENT LADIES SEQUEL brings more of the same, revealing the inner workings of the Minnesota Lutheran church kitchen (this time circa 1969/1970) and the inner lives of the women who cook there. Prudish matriarch Vivian (Kay Francis), afraid of "the Cities" (Minneapolis/Saint Paul), blowsy, irreverent farm wife Mavis (Shannon Connolly), and the younger, more worldly Karin (Jessica Unice) cook at Lutheran League and missionary dinners while pouring coffee for Pastor Gunderson (Paul Glodfelter) and worrying over the personal issues of Karin's daughter Beverly (Lisa Bark).
In this installment, the church ladies take on Vietnam, women's liberation, hippies, and the like – in some instances more successfully than others. Part of it may be that some of the characters, particularly Vivian, are almost purely stereotypes, despite Kay Francis' best efforts to give her character depth. The most sympathetic character, the one most audience members will relate to, is Karin – she is the woman straddling traditional housewife and working woman, the 1960's woman who yearned to get a degree, a job in the Cities, and a home in the suburbs, but who never finished college and returned home to get married, have children, and take over the church kitchen supervision. Not surprisingly, she finds herself living her life through Beverly, who has finished college and is working in the Cities, until she and her husband come back to their home town. Karin is horrified, but Beverly is past the home/career crisis in her own mind, and she has come home because she wants to be there, not because she has to be there. It is this realization that paves the way for a real adult relationship between Karin and Beverly.
Mavis and Vivian are the polar opposites, The Farm woman who sees sex and reproduction as everyday life on The Farm, and the leftover Victorian who's inclined to cover the piano legs in order to protect everyone from the horrid sight of naked limbs. Although women like Vivian still existed in the 1960's, it is doubtful that any of them could really proclaim as Vivian does that adoption is the cleanest way to have children (because it avoids that messy sex business). That's humorous, of course, but it's still pushing it. Mavis' earthy humor, on the other hand, and her accidentally dangerous ways with sharp objects and her less than stellar hygienic precautions in the kitchen are some of the charms of the show. She'd be the modern neighborhood mother who believes that you can't raise healthy children if they don't get dirty.
This is a musical, but neither the music nor the lyrics are stellar – there's not much to whistle on the way out of the theatre, although the songs are mostly humorous. If there's ever a soundtrack recording, the cut you'll keep playing is "Cardamom, Cinnamon, Ginger, and Clove," a sentimental number voiced first as a solo by Beverly, and then later by Karin, that has the best music and lyrics of the evening. "Get Back In the Game," which analogizes marriage to sports, is certainly an apt piece, and is one of the brightest ensemble spots in this show.
"Old Dog, New Tricks" is the number in which Pastor Gunderson attempts to become a hip, relevant minister, as he masters church music for the guitar and morphs into a swinging Elvis impersonator when no one is looking. It's not surprising that his guitar, first suggested by Beverly as she tells the kitchen crew and pastor of ecumenical services in the Cities, leads him down the primrose path to religious perdition – becoming a Lutheran church camp pastor and discovering leisure suits, from "Chess King in the mall" in a perfect moment of early 1970's flashback. Glodfelter's Pastor Gunderson feels real; if you knew any clergy of the period who were on the wrong side of 40 and found themselves desperate to modernize, you knew Pastor Gunderson personally.
