Krueger calls Welch's comments on jobs data "irresponsible"
The Chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers responds to former General Electric CEO Jack Welch's allegation that the Bureau of Labor Statistics may have manipulated September's jobs numbers.
That a ludicrous comments but no serious person. Believes that the Bureau of Labor Statistics manipulates its statistics. The jobs report and all of their other statistics are prepared by career employees they use the same process every month. They use the same process wore a Republican and democratic administrations. So I think comments like that are irresponsible.

Thumb Keyboard fixes the problem of typing on a tablet by rearranging the keys so you can hold it comfortably and type as you might on a smartphone. It's a welcome change.
The app requires a bit of setup time, but once you're done, it makes tapping out emails or searching the web a whole lot easier. It works by dividing the keys in half, making them easily accessible by one thumb or the other, with a number pad in between. The result: holding your tablet comfortably in two hands rather than one, the same way you would a smartphone.
If there's a drawback, it's that Thumb Keyboard requires a little bit of trust on the user's part. Theoretically, Thumb Keyboard could conceivably capture everything you type. There's no evidence to suggest that developer Beansoft has any ill intentions, but it's still something to consider before you download.
Other than that risk, though, Thumb Keyboard is a very easy and comfortable way to make a tablet more appealing for all kinds of tasks.

This guide is for setting up a FOWLR (fish only with reside rock) aquarium, if you would like to know how to set up a coral or a far more advanced saltwater aquarium verify out the other guides. The initial step in saltwater aquarium set up is picking a place that is nowhere close to natural lighting sources. Setting up an Aquarium Spending budget: Your total aquarium budget will help you determine what size aquarium to go with, but do not just think about the tank and stand – you ought to also consider about the fish, invertebrates, and coral that are going into the aquarium. Nitrate is not toxic to the fish but high levels of it can generate problem to your aquarium. Another benefit of live rock is that it acts as a residence for corals and other invertebrates and can be utilised by shy or frightened fish as their hiding spot. Once you have aquascaped your saltwater aquarium, the next step in saltwater aquarium set up would be allowing the aquarium to cycle. Signifies we've completed the greatest attainable to make confident that if their is going to be any problems, the problems will show up in our tanks and not in your residence aquarium.
Curing your reside rock might be done in any kind of plastic container that is suitable in size to fit the quantity of live rock you have or inside the newly set up aquarium. Soon after you have made sure it is saltwater ich you are going to need to have to setup a separate aquarium identified as a hospital tank. It offers the beneficial organisms for suitable water management and so that you can get pleasure from your saltwater fish and other inhabitants for a extended period of time.
But for totally cycling your saltwater aquarium, it will genuinely rely on elements like: (1) The quantity of ammonia being created during the cycling period (2) The efficiency of the biological filtration and (3) Regardless of whether liverocks or reside plants are used in the procedure. Pumps – When you are setting up a saltwater aquarium it is crucial to know if you have all the appropriate pumps.
Next is selecting some thing to stand it on. Select a sturdy stand that is capable of supporting the weight of a filled aquarium. This sort of tank is for keeping fish only as the name suggests and is the least costly type. There are 3 standard types of saltwater aquariums: Fish Only, Fish with Live Rock and Reef Method. Should sand have been utilised in the freshwater set-up, it can be utilized for the saltwater tank. The place is another essential selection on setting up a saltwater aquarium for newbies. The substrate for saltwater ought to either be sand, crushed corals, or aragonite.
Patience: Smaller saltwater aquariums are less difficult to fill up quickly when you are setting up a saltwater aquarium from scratch. You will want a excellent medication like Kick-ich that breaks the life cycle of saltwater ich. Skimmer – A filter utilised to remove protein and livestock waste from the water so as to hold the atmosphere cleaner for its' inhabitants.

As much as I don't want to face it, my baby is turning into a big girl. She even tells me so, "Big Gull" and, "Myself" is a fav of hers. I started thinking about a "big girl" room a few months ago and began pinning. Her room right now is cute with a green, pink, and black color scheme and subtle (ok, maybe not so subtle) "pug" theme. The pugs will always stay in some form or another, but the colors need to change. The walls are green and her furniture is black, and some of it will need to be painted.
I'm leaning toward a pink and blue color scheme and have found LOADS of inspiration via Pinterest. Here is some of my favorite Pinspiration!
A possible color palette. I love the varying shades of pink with some blue and green.
Love the blue and white polka dot wall and soft pink curtains. Those pillow shams are pretty awesome too!
This room is just precious in every way. Love the shades, daybed, pillows and wall color.
I think E's dresser needs a coat of pink paint!
Of course I heart this dog fabric!
These pink and white striped curtains are adorable!
I would love to incorporate a loft bed into her room, but that's not going to happen in this house. There is absolutely nowhere in her room for one! Hopefully our next house will have the perfect wall for a loft bed. E also needs to be a bit older...I can picture her trying to "fly" off the bed at this point in her life.
This room has the perfect little alcove for a loft bed! I love that the bed is not taking up any floor space, so you don't lose any play space! It's the perfect spot for a play kitchen.
I have no idea when this big girl room will start to take shape. Right now, it's just all in my head. And, thank goodness for Pinterest, since my head is not the place to be storing things! Isn't Pinterest the greatest!

Fall "Mantel"
We don't have a fireplace in our house, so therefore, we do not have a mantel. I miss having a mantel to decorate with the seasons and holidays. After seeing all the amazing mantels on Pinterest, I decided it was time to remedy my mantel-less situation.
Since adding a fireplace to our house was not going to happen, I decided to make a "mantel". I had seen Shelley's kitchen shelves tutorial here,
and knew that I could make some too. So, off to Home Depot I went. I decided I wanted my shelves 3 feet and 4 feet long, so I purchased an 8 foot long 1x6 ($7.22) and had the guy at Home Depot cut it for me. I had found some brackets that I really wanted to use, but they were $6.85 each, and I needed four. I found some cheaper brackets that were not as pretty but would do the job for $1.98. Problem was, there was only two of them. Here's where it pays to chat up the associates at your favorite stores. I told the guy cutting my board that I had found two brackets but needed four and that there were other brackets I loved but were too expensive. What did he do? He gave the prettier, more expensive brackets to me for the cost of the cheap ones! SCORE! I got four, really pretty, more substantial wooden brackets for $7.92! He told me it was their fault they didn't have what I needed, and you should always ask for an upgrade when that happens. I think I thanked him about 100 times.
Below is one of the beautiful brackets!
Ben and I actually worked together on this project. Those that know us, know we do not work well together. We almost killed each other once on a canoeing trip because we both are crazy stubborn, and I like to be in charge. Big surprise. We will never go canoeing again.
Ben helped me cut the trim for the shelves with the miter box (still don't have that 12 inch miter saw with a laser). I actually only got frustrated once during the whole process! After all that cutting, we both decided that the shelves looked better without the trim. If I change my mind, I've got it already cut and ready to go...
Here is my priming station all set up under the carport one night. Yes, those are diaper boxes. I used spray primer for the first coat, and then gave the wood a good, fine sanding. But for the actual paint I used, wait for it........regular paint and a real paint brush and roller! Shocker, I know.
I used Glidden Antique White in semi gloss because this color will be showing up on my kitchen cabinets in the very near future. I added some Floetrol to my paint after reading Centsational Girl's praises of the stuff. It's supposed to minimize brush strokes in latex paint, and let me tell ya, it does! I am now in love with Floetrol. There is not a brush stroke to be found on my shelves. It makes me want to paint my kitchen cabinets yesterday.
Here's my painting set up on Sunday. I had to position myself in the garage so I could see the "man room" TV since the Titans were playing.
Hoover was my painting companion this time. Had to give the mutt some blog time too.
And here are my new shelves, all ready for fall decor, hung in the dining area of our kitchen!
Now I have not one, but TWO "mantels"! I am in love with my new shelves. In total, they cost just $16 to make!
I added some pumpkins and gourds that came from Michael's and Wal-Mart. The little urns had silk flowers in them and were on clearance. I knew I could pluck the flowers right out and use the urns for something else.
The wreath was a $2.50 Michael's find. The "M" I already had.
Love this little wire basket I found at PD's in Franklin.
The tray was a hostess gift and has leaves and acorns on it. I found a great place to display my WUSLU bottles and caddy!
One last look...I love it!
I'll be linking up to the Fall Mantels party at The Lettered Cottage!
And here as well:

Painted Planters and a Fall-ish Front Porch
I have been looking for urns like these below for our front porch for a long time now. I wanted the lightweight urns that look like concrete. Everywhere I looked had them for at least $40 each! That was way more than I wanted to spend on front porch decor, even if they would last me a long time. That kind of money is just not in the budget right now.
Enter these cream, plastic urns.
I look at the planter section every time I'm in Home Depot or Lowes (or anywhere that has planters) hoping that they will have my dream urns on clearance. I walked right past these urns in Lowes because they were turned upside down and not put together like the one on the right. The urn base caught my eye, so I went back to take a closer look. I knew right away that I could spray the urns black and have them look much more "Ballard". So, at $12 each, I grabbed two!
Here's my partner in crime again...black spray paint made specifically for plastic.
I had to get a shot of the sign that hangs over my husband's work bench. It says "fishermen, hunters, and other liars...Gather Here!" It cracks me up! I'm actually the one that "gathers" there the most!
In process
All sprayed and looking festive with some pumpkins!
I took the middle size pumpkin and stuck some round stickers on it, and sprayed it black to break up all the orange. I love the polka dots! Also, the pumpkins were having a little trouble standing up straight, so I drilled some holes into the tops and bottoms and inserted a wooden dowel...everyone has wooden dowels lying around their house, right? I live on a busy street, and I know I got some funny looks from drivers by as I took a drill to my pumpkins right there on the front porch!
The urns and pumpkins were missing something...a little hay! Looks much better and more festive. You can't have a fall porch without a little hay!
Looking much more fall-ish around here! The pumpkins go quite nicely with my fall wreath and Goodwill monogrammed pumpkin!
I think those holly shrubs need a little trim so you can see the urns a little better!
These $12 urns make me so happy!
On a side note, yesterday a neighbor down the street stopped by while I was outside to tell me that she loved my urns and pumpkins! She made my day! She said she loves to drive by our house to see what I'm doing to the front porch. She said she noticed I had moved my ferns from the front porch and told her husband she couldn't wait to see what I was doing next! So sweet!

Swachh Bharat Shining Bharat #BlogToPM
Dear Modiji,
Its truly appreciative effort from your ends to aim to make India a #Swachh Bharat. However, there is much to do..
Every year we see so much written about sanitization, garbage, flooding, bribes, punishment, tougher laws, better access to citizens on basic laws, better transportation etc etc.. but I would like to highlight certain key issues still prevailing in our system.
- Toilets – 3 years ago was launched India's biggest cleanliness movement – Swachh Bharat Mission, states were given money to build toilets and monetary incentives to private players to process municipal waste and make compost or generate electricity, we have already passed 2 years from the action date is there any way to gauge how effective the toilet construction exercise has been in bringing about the sanitization behavioural change? In first world countries be it mall or station the toilets are just worth visiting without even a single rupee paid.
Hence as tourists, it gives a different perspective on cleanliness. Can we ensure that the toilets at tourist places and local places are well kept? at least to make it a good feel for the locals and tourists
- Basic Education to Girl child – Can there be a rule in the country that every girl child must have a right to basic education?. Make it compulsory for them to go to schools. Let the NGO's be given this fruitful task.
- Fine on trains – It not just the metro or the monorails the local trains that carry lakhs of passengers to work every day, Can there be a system to not eat in trains? First world countries have taken serious steps to ensure that their transport system is neat. Can the govt take steps to educate this in the minds of people and instill a discipline to not eat in trains? Heavy fines must be imposed on those caught
4. Garbage segregation in the minds of people – While giving importance to segregate wet and dry waste
why not remove the garbage out of peoples mind
– Educate them about throwing garbage on any roads, especially in front of schools, medical places like hospitals
– Impose a heavy fine on theft and other scrupulous activities. If caught should be punished. Speed up the process. Justice takes too much time. They must be deterred to behave in that way.
– Impose food and water sanitization. Compulsory washing of hands before cooking or eating
– Traffic signal defaults and over speeding be caught and fined heavily
5. Better roads – Can we have pot-free roads? Can the government ensure that before every rain all the garbage and plastic is taken off roads? Can the roads be so good that the office commuters don't face the trouble of traffic jams? Trains can they have closed doors to avoid accidents? Mumbai trains carry lakhs of people. People sitting on the trains, leaning out etc… can this stop?
Can there be shades on the footpath and make it easy for travelers and also protection from rain?Can we look at other international countries the laws, facilities, and life the citizens?
It must just not be Swachh Bharat it must be Shining Bharat #BlogToPM
Thank you blogadda for this opportunity
Thanks for your consideration # Blog To PM

LPC's Case for the Common Bookcase:
With the ever growing demand for digital alternatives to books, it is not the singular paper or hard back that'll be missed the most, but the collection of books that live together on bookshelves and bookcases. Bookcases and bookshelves, as their fitting name suggests, are miniature individual libraries, personal museums, and a collection of memories belonging to an individual or household.
On visiting someone's house, how many times have you looked over their bookshelves, reading the titles to assess the sort of people whom this collection of books belongs too? Nothing tells a perfect stranger more about a person then their collection of books. Books are easy to acquire but even easier to sell off or leave behind, so if it's worthy of someone's shelf space, our curiosity asks 'why?'. Whether you live in a cramped flat in Manchester or a manor house in Cumbria, your bookshelves are the real clues to your history, interests and personality. In a world where extroverted social media shares too much of our shallow selves, the bookcase will always remain the introvert, a subtle but profound insight into one's personality.
"I've wanted to read this book for ages" you say, fiddling with the spine of a particular book that caught your attention. "You can borrow it if you want" is the usual response, and within seconds a book has exchanged hands, and later, occupies a new bookshelf. The difference between seeing a book in the flesh that you want to read, and merely being told of a good book you should read, is that the call to action, i.e to read the book, is much stronger in the former. Mix in the social communication between the lender and the borrower, the sense of sharing something in common, and it's easy to see why the bookcase is the idyllic way to pass on stories.
When you glance at your own bookcase, some spines stick out – you know the book without having to read the title. Memories are stirred, and then awakened; where were you when you first read that book, how you felt at the end of that book, and why you never managed to finish that book…Could you manifest these strong reminders via digital alternative?
One basic demand for keeping the art of book storing alive, is the right to keep one's books as long as one lives, for then to be passed down like an heirloom, bookcase and all. This goes for all good pieces of furniture, not just the bookcase and its books. It is a basic right of ownership, to do as we please (short of harming others), mark them up to sell, damage them, and certainly we expect to be able to take them with us when we move. It all goes without saying but we may not realise it's one of our basic needs until, (admittedly cliché) it's taken away.
In 2009, Kindle (owned by Amazon), removed copies of George Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984 from paying customers' Kindles without warning or permission. The editions, it turned out, were illicit. After a predictable uproar, Amazon made an awkward apology, calling its behaviour 'stupid and thoughtless', but despite the books selected to be banned being so deliciously ironic, the real worry was the demonstrating power Amazon had over paying customers' property. It's the 21st century equivalent to the notorious 'burning of books'. More scandalous still, was that this digital event was entirely legal, as the Kindle's licence agreement states (and still states to this day) that it can be changed, without notice, at Amazon's will.
Apple's iPad has been eating into Kindle's market share since its launch, but it isn't much better. Like the iPhone, the iPad is a closed system that goes out of its way to prevent these kinds of 'misuses' by its customers; paying customers never 'own' these books in quite the same way as one owns a paperback. It only loads software and carries books that survive Apple's strict censors. It would seem companies are less and less interested in helping us store information ourselves and more and more eager to do it for us. It's only recently that the iPad has offered the option of selling books in non-propriety formats, which means when you want to switch to a different kind of reader, your books can come with you. In other words, they are finally allowing the most basic condition of ownership.
With the bookshelf you can order your books to whatever organised chaos suits you, and you can change/update collections as many or as little as you like. So far, digital alternatives, for all the marvels they offer, (and with the ironic rising sales of cover cases made to look like standard books) they still fail to provide the basic purposes of a perfectly ordinary, but soon to be uncommon, bookcase.

Northern Virginia Community College Workforce Development staff and representatives of the U.S. Small Business Administration recently signed a collaboration agreement to boost small business education in the region. From left to right: Dr. Ron Beck, NOVA's Business Development Director, Lynn Orosco, NOVA's Business Development Manager, Dr. Lorinzo Foxworth, an Associate Vice President for NOVA, William Gary SR., NOVA's Vice President of Workforce Development, Antonio Doss, District Director of the SBA, Nicole Porter, Assistant District Director of Marketing and Outreach for the SBA.
Northern Virginia Community College's (NOVA) Workforce Development Division and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) have signed an agreement to jointly deliver small business training services to business owners and employees in the greater Washington region.
The collaboration agreement between NOVA and the SBA's Washington Metropolitan Area District Office went into effect last month following the SBA's annual Small Business Awards Celebration.
Signed by SBA District Director Antonio Doss and NOVA's Vice President of Workforce Development William Gary Sr., it provides a framework for both organizations to offer small business training support on a range of crucial topics through periodic workshops and seminars.
"Our SBA and NOVA staffs synergized very quickly to bring this agreement from idea to reality," Doss said. "Our joint brands create a stronger service identity throughout the metropolitan business community."
Together the organizations have launched a workshop series focusing on the implementation of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Workshop participants at the Richard J. Ernst Community Cultural Center, on NOVA's Annandale Campus, have provided invaluable feedback which will help shape future educational offerings.
The Affordable Care Act workshops are held on the second Tuesday of each month through December; a schedule is available on NOVA's Workforce Development webpage.
In the future, NOVA and the SBA will offer workshops on the SBA's business resource capabilities and NOVA's customized business training services. Conferences, seminars and other activities will address a range of timely business topics, such as SBA financing and government contracting, to meet the needs of Northern Virginia's small business community.
"It goes without saying, that this agreement represents an extraordinary, teaming commitment that addresses the training and development needs of one of the most critical drivers of our regional economy," Gary said. "From the very beginning, our planning discussions with the Washington Metropolitan SBA staff were high-energy with engaging ideas. The potential of the collaboration was more than obvious."
For more information on NOVA and SBA offerings, contact NOVA's Workforce Development Division at (703) 323-3281 or e-mail email@example.com.

Pettite has been one of the Yankees best pitchers so far this year, but the Phillies beat him tonight
It's a crazy game, the Phillies who looked so bad just earlier in the week have strung together two good games against the World Champion New York Yankees. The Phillies won this series in New York after things looked bleak after the first game in the series that saw Roy Halladay get lit up by Yankee bats. The final tonight was 7-1 after last night's win was 8-3 for the Phillies.
It was a tale of two pitchers for the Phillies as Jamie Moyer and Kyle Kendrick put up two great pitching performances. The Phillies bats came alive as well the last two nights, and suddenly there looks to be light where there was a whole lot of darkness just days ago.
The Yankees and Andy Pettite looked poised to want to take this game from the Phillies but it wasn't to be, and the grim faced Pettite, as he looks before he delivers many of his pitches, took the loss in tonight's game. He falls to 8-2 while Kendrick got the win and went to 4-2.
The Phillies come home to Citizen's Bank Park now, and the Minnesota Twins will be the next opponent here in Interleague play. Minnesota brings their first place AL Central team into Philadelphia with a record of 38-28. The Twins are 1.5 games up on the Detroit Tigers. The Twins also have a 15-15 Road record so far.
Justin Morneau and Denard Span lead the offense for the Twins, and Carl Pavano has 7 wins for the Twins and leads them in IP with 87.1 so far.

Counter-offer to a resigning employee?
In our previous post (maintaining performance during notice periods) we explored the issues of the psychology of change. These looked at the value of retaining people throughout their notice.
This and psychological state is valid when an employee has an offer and tenders their resignation, and we consider offering a counter-offer to keep this talent.
Counter-offers fall under the same category although many may not see it this way.
When an employee has been active looking for another employer. Been through two or more interviews and accepted an offer – they are psychologically ready to go.
It's NOT about the money (unless of course they asked for a raise & you previously declined it!). It's about a breakdown in relations or lost opportunity somewhere. In which case you had your chance, and you failed to engage enough.
Psychologically they have "left the building". Making an offer that keeps them at this stage in the relationship is a risk. Often all you have done is bought a few more months – they will leave… eventually.
They (the employee) have already made the decision to leave, otherwise they would not have handed their notice in! Let them go and learn from it.
The bigger question to consider is why were they not on your talent plan who else have you missed? Is the talent plan static and not engaging with these people?
Is it just a list that is not acted upon?
Human Capital & Talent Retention
Great words but what do they mean?
In simple terms it means identifying who is important to the success of your organization in the:
- Short term (say to complete a specific contract)
- Long term to maintain a competitive advantage or edge over your competition & business sustainability
What we need to be doing with these valued or talented people, is nurturing them, engaging them. We need to build a relationship that is beyond the "contract". Your goal is to know when they are unhappy before they start looking elsewhere, and meeting their needs as they arise. Of course this is a delicate balance of value and worth along with a pinch of risk.
Engagement is the tool to combat losses.
Talent management is not about having a plan that identifies key people and roles that is not understood by all managers and leaders involved. Employees also need to be told about their importance, this is half of the battle.
So should we counter-offer to a resigning employee? No, it is too late. Learn from the mistake and do not let other talented people get away through inaction!

Nuggets| food for thoughts of the day
A man who had been bitten by a rattle snake was rushed to the hospital. When he asked the doctor 'is life threatening?" the doctor said the bite isn't, but the poison is. The bites you suffer from at the hands of others are painful and up setting, but they're lethal.
What happens to you normally doesn't destroy you, but what happens afterward wards can. Like venom, bitterness first poisons your mind, then your relationships. It causes you to repay the hurt until it controls you, stealing the great future you have planned, but doesn't have to be that way, forgive, keep on forgiving until it no longer hurts or bothers you.
Bitterness is cause by anger that allowed to take residence in your thoughts life. Solving the problem resolves and relieves your anger, but anger can become long-term bitterness if not checked.
When you fixate on "who did it to me" makes you hostile, critical, blaming and punitive. You say can I really stop my anger? Yes you can take control over your life and control your reactions and behaviors.

Millwall boss: Football "too scared" to discuss psychology
MILLWALL manager Ian Holloway believes that the football community is "too scared" to confront psychological issues within the game.
The Lions boss was speaking after ex-world boxing champion Glenn Catley, now a clinical hypnotherapist and sports psychologist, met with the squad this week.
Holloway's players have been offered hypnotherapy sessions with the former fighter.
"The lads will decide whether or not they believe in what Glenn does," Holloway said.
"All you can do is put things out there and it will either work or it won't."
But Holloway believes not enough is done about mental health issues in football.
He added: "When it comes to the mental side of things, are you nervous before a big game? Are you a bit worried? Of course you are.
"Everybody is because we are human beings. But it's like the Emperor's New Clothes – we've all got nothing on and we're too scared to say it.
"In football you're not supposed to talk about it, you're expected to be strong.
"The chairman wants me to help people and build them up. I think that's what my skill is and I'm learning new things all the time.
"I want to change the mindset of people who play for us. It will take a while – it happened really quickly at Blackpool – but I believe that we can do that here in time.
"We have not come from behind to win a game since I've been here – that's unheard of."

YORK, Maine — Both York High School girls basketball coach Rick Clark and Oyster River coach Dave Nichols were a bit concerned about how their teams would play following layoffs in the opening game of Tuesday's Wildcat Invitational basketball tournament.
The defending Maine Class B champion Wildcats hadn't played since last Thursday, while the New Hampshire Division II Bobcats had a week off since a big win over St. Thomas Aquinas.
York rebounded with the time off in better fashion, as it jumped out to a 22-point lead at halftime on the strength of 15 Oyster River turnovers, and posted a 62-34 victory over the Bobcats inside Robert E. Butler Gymnasium.
The unbeaten Wildcats will play for the tournament championship tonight (6:30 p.m.) against Reading, Mass.. Reading advanced with a 59-31 victory over Marshwood in earlier action.
Oyster River, which is 3-0 in Division II, will play Marshwood in a consolation game (3 p.m.).
"I told them before the game that they hadn't played since the Greely game, so it was a little layoff," Clark said. "Niki (Taylor) immediately said having four days off is like losing a month's worth of running. So I said to play defense like you do and the offense was a little spurty to start with. The defense was good as usual, and the offense was better then I thought it would be, especially after the first couple of minutes."
Taylor, the reigning Gatorade Maine Player of the Year, won the battle in the middle against defending Class I Player of the Year Danielle Walczak. Taylor scored a game-high 19 points and grabbed eight rebounds, while Walczak battled foul trouble and finished with nine points and five rebounds.
"I wish we could've taken care of the ball better then we did; 15 turnovers in the first half, there is the ball game," Nichols said. "We were turning the ball over with minimal pressure. We were holding onto the ball and not realizing they were coming from behind to take it away. Way too many turnovers in the first half set the tone."
A 3-pointer from Chelsea Morley gave York a 10-4 lead midway through the first quarter and then Oyster River turned the ball over on three consecutive possessions. Taylor followed her steal with a putback and Stephanie Gallagher (13 points) followed with a steal that led to an Addie LaBonte hoop. Morley converted a putback to give York a 16-6 lead after the first.
"We can do that; if you think you can get by the pressure, there is pressure everywhere," Clark said. "Every one of these girls know how to play defense. The help defense was as good as it was all year in spurts tonight. It was a great help game."
Oyster River was held to 5 for 20 shooting from the field in the first half, as York went on an 11-0 run in the second quarter to build a 27-8 lead. Taylor had back-to-back hoops to close out the run, which was ended on Riley Maynard's 3-pointer.
Nichols said that his team has had some lapses during its first three games, but they piled up on Tuesday.
"We did a poor job of recognizing things tonight; certainly York is a very good team, I just wish we had the opportunity to play them without making so many mistakes," he said. "The kids had a lot of days (off), so I'm sure that had something to do with it, but I didn't see York make those mistakes."
York humbles OR girls

Normally, hair loss is caused by heredity, hormones and age. Genetic makeup determines if hair follicles are sensitive to the DHT hormone (dihydrotestosterone), causing them to shrink.
This "shrinkage" results in overall thinning hair with time. In addition, the aging process can weaken the hair follicle and consequently the hair shaft. This causes thinning hair and balding – permanent hair loss.
In addition, Hair loss is believed to be primarily caused by a combination of the following:
- Aging
- Change in Hormones
- Illness
- Family History of Baldness
- Burns
- Trauma

Oh what fun I have had the last two weeks experimenting with new beads! I received these cultured sea glass beads from ZnetShows. They are a wholesale bead company you and you can find them here http://www.znetshows.com/
They were kind enough to supply me with a test sample of 5 shapes of their sea glass beads.
I loved the fishbone beads so I started there.. I got out some wire and made fish shape, added the beads… but it needed something.. spacers! My friend Susan to the rescue, she had real fish bones and I but them in between the fishbone beads. TADA!!!
I made the chain to look kind of like a fishing stringer, a little tag Gone Fishing and made the bobber out of polymer clay. I think he is kind of cute. Here is a closeup.
Next was the fun Conch shell shape. I decided I wanted to have them rolling in the ocean waves like the would be found on the beach! I made spiral ear wires and slipped on the shell bead, then wired wrapped a few blue crystals for the ear wire to hold the shell in place. Love how they came out!
Last but not least we 2 pair of rectangle sea glass that I used as a backdrop for wire squiggles. Because they were white they were very hard to photograph but look great in person hanging on your ears!!!
I have a few beads left over and I am adding red and white beads to the blue for a 4th of July necklace! I will post that next week.
Thank you ZnetShows for the opportunity, this was fun!

Is makin' me wait
Is keeping' me waitin'
–from 'Anticipation' by Carly Simon
It may be the Seventh Annual Bead Soup Blog Hop, but it's my first one. In fact, I
started this blog as I waited impatiently for a visit from the postman with my box from my
bead soup partner, Nan Emmett .
When it finally arrived—WOW! What a beautiful assortment of ceramic beads from
Nan's kiln. I was certainly going to have to break out of my box!
This is what Nan had sent to me!
In my box of goodies was a little white partridge. Hmm…. A little bit of copper wire here, some enamel, a couple of beads and VOILA! I am so pleased with result. I am entering it in a Show at theDouglasville Cultural Arts Center in May.. It is a bird theme show. I am sure it will be a hit!
But, I still have all those other beads!!! The ceramic focal piece and the clasp. Gotta get back out of my box. So my first attempt was, well, okay…. My mind was seeing these lovely ceramic beads with fiber.. Jute? Waxed linen?.. Sari Ribbon?.. There were moans and groans at the bead store that day..The Beady girls were "NO NOT FIBER"!!! I have not been very successful with fiber.. But I tried it anyway.. Knots in waxed lined are hard to get out… and there was a lot of getting out..I guess the Beady Girls Susan and Sandra were right.. But do not tell them…
I'm the girl who plays with wire and metl and fire… So I got out the Vinja Bronze wire and made a bracelet. I an much better at wire wrapping than playing with fiber..and I used the clasp on the bracelet. Here is a pic.
I decided I liked this much better than the fibers.. so… on with the Beads!!! Next was the Necklace.. I picked out the large focal and 2 of the peach colored flowers, I really liked the carved green beads and made some copper caps to go on each side of them.Then the wire wrapping began. I used a number of other beads Nan had sent with the soup to finish the necklace. I think it came out well and those Beady Girls, Susan and Sandra were quite pleased I did not use fiber… What do you think?
Next was a pair of earrings to match.. Only 2 more weeks and I can wear big girl earrings! Woot ..Woot..
I had a great time with my first bead soup!
Here is what I sent to Nan Emmett.. lets go check what she made with what I sent to her.. http://www.spiritrattles.blogspot.com/
Let me know what you think in the comments. See you next year!

This week I have tried my hand at making post earwires. Since that is probably the best for me to use for a while in the new holes. I tried 2 different styles but similar. The bronze pair on the left I remember from a Magazine a few years back, probably Easy Wire. I would give credit but do not know to whom.. The copper ones are a variation of them. Now I have to go shopping for earnuts. Something else new to learn about and shop for.. Woot Woot shopping. Thanks for looking.

Marriott identified a set of users within their Marriott Rewards program that had high points balances, but low redemptions. Marriott challenged Brandmovers to develop an in-program promotion that would engage these members and encourage them to redeem, while also building value for the program.
How it Works
Through a backend integration with Marriott, Brandmovers implemented a "fire-drill" promotion targeting Marriott Rewards members with high points balances encouraging these members to redeem their points for n exclusive set of rewards from outside of the normal catalog with very low quantities. A new set of rewards was made available for 12 hours once a week, generating generated a sense of urgency and excitement around the weekly "flash sales."
The Results
The program, now in its second year, has delivered over 6 million member engagements, resulted in a nearly 25% lift in member engagement, and has delivered a 15% reduction in program points liability within the target audience.

SAN FRANCISCO — The first thing to know about Linda Ronstadt is that if you ring the bell at her home here, on a sedate street with views of the ocean, she'll answer the door herself. At least she did on a recent Monday morning.
She wore a pink hoodie and jeans, her short dark hair framing the oval face that ornamented album and magazine covers throughout the 1970s and '80s, when Ms. Ronstadt was rock 'n' roll's biggest and most alluring female star, with albums like "Heart Like a Wheel" and "Living in the U.S.A." that helped define the polished music of her era.
In the living room, near the Yamaha baby grand, Ms. Ronstadt settled into a chair, rested her white high-top sneakers on an ottoman and discussed her new book, "Simple Dreams: A Musical Memoir," which is being published this month.
In recent years, Ms. Ronstadt has drawn more attention for her outspoken politics, decidedly liberal, than for her music. Full of opinions — don't get her started on current immigration law — she pours them forth in a fluent, hyper-articulate rush.
But for many, she remains her generation's premier female pop vocalist, and they wonder why she hasn't released an album since 2006 or appeared in concert since her mariachi show in 2009. For a trouper like Ms. Ronstadt, a steady presence for 40 years, silence so prolonged must have a reason. True, she is 67, but age hasn't stopped contemporaries like Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Emmylou Harris.
"I can't do it, because of my health," Ms. Ronstadt said. "I have Parkinson's." (The news was first reported in the AARP Magazine online on Aug. 23.) She held out a slightly trembling hand. Her vocal cords are also affected. "I can't sing at all," she said, matter-of-factly. "I'm truly not able. I can't sing 'Happy Birthday,' really."
She had been aware for more than a decade that something was wrong, but those closest to her suspected it might be just another instance of the performance anxiety for which she is well known. "You can sing," her former manager and longtime producer, Peter Asher, remembered telling her. "You're crazy. Don't be insecure." But, as usual, he added, "Linda was right." She got the news in June. Fearful of doctors, she had put off going to a neurologist until a guitarist friend, observing the unsteady hands, said she must go. "I never in a million years thought I had Parkinson's, not in a million years," she said. "Now I don't know what to do. I have to find a support group. I have to call Michael Pollan. He's responsible for all this." (Mr. Pollan, the brother-in-law of Michael J. Fox, who also has Parkinson's, said Ms. Ronstadt has not discussed her illness with him.)
By "all this" she meant not her health, but the book, which was completed before doctors confirmed that she has Parkinson's. "I never wanted to write a book," she said. "I never wanted anyone else to write a book. I thought, 'Let it end when it ends.' " She also wasn't sure she was up to the task. A voracious reader who can quote Henry James verbatim, Ms. Ronstadt has, if anything, too much respect for the written word. But at dinner one night, Mr. Pollan, the journalist and author, urged her to reconsider. She told him: "I don't have any craft. I don't have any skill. And he said everybody has at least one good story in them that they can pull out."
There was another fact to weigh, her dwindling savings. Ms. Ronstadt released many albums but wrote very few songs, so her royalty checks are small. "Writers make all the money," she said. Her most memorable hits — "You're No Good," "Heart Like a Wheel," "Blue Bayou" — were written by others. "I was making good money when I was touring," she said. But now "I just can't do it."
"I can't make one note," she said. "I have a hard time calling the cab at night."
And so a book, and the advance it would bring, began to make sense. Ms. Ronstadt read Plácido Domingo's memoir and Rosanne Cash's, and liked both. She also liked Keith Richards's "Life" (she's in it) and was impressed by how well his co-writer, James Fox, captured his voice. But her own meeting with a prospective collaborator didn't work: "I knew I would never give him any information. I'm too good at dodging questions."
Instead, she wrote the book herself. She expected Jonathan Karp, her editor at Simon & Schuster, to demand to see pages and chapters along the way. She was wrong. "He said, 'Let me know when you have a manuscript.' I said, 'What?' " Ms. Ronstadt recalled, howling with laughter. "A manuscript! I was shocked."
But now it's done, and instead of a concert tour, she'll sign books in cities where she once filled arenas: Boston, Washington, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Portland, Ore. In New York, she'll be interviewed at the 92nd Street Y by her good friend John Rockwell, the former music critic and editor for The New York Times, who was among the first to recognize that Ms. Ronstadt was an artist of rare intelligence, taste and discipline whose meticulous phrasings uncovered psychological depth in even the sparest country ballads.
"Simple Dreams" is less an autobiography than an artist's bildungsroman. She recalls her musical journey phase by phase, beginning with her childhood in the Sonoran desert. She grew up with three siblings on a ranch outside Tucson, where her father owned a hardware store and the Ronstadts, a musical family of mixed Anglo-Mexican heritage, were socially prominent. Ms. Ronstadt was a debutante, a "junior patroness" of the Tucson symphony.
But the desert air was saturated with other sounds pouring out of the radio and coffeehouse microphones. At 18, with $30 from her father, she went to Los Angeles and two years later recorded her first hit, the anti-torch song "Different Drum," with its teasing harpsichord and undertow of "longing and yearning," in Ms. Ronstadt's description, in conversation, of the theme that would inform so much of her work in the decades to come. "I'm not ready for any person, place or thing/to try and pull the reins in on me," Ms. Ronstadt tartly admonishes the besotted "boy who wants to love only me."
She had already outgrown her first band, the Stone Poneys, and in the next years flitted from one persona to the next — country singer, folk hippie, soft-rock crooner — diligently refining her voice, with its huge dynamics and complex tonalities. So subtle an instrument did it become that the audio innovator George Massenburg would sometimes ask Ms. Ronstadt to sing a few notes, which he then used to evaluate the latest magnetic tapes. But for Ms. Ronstadt it all began with the song, with "the narrative," and the search for fresh material that would break through the clichés of lost love. In the memoir, she recalls sharing a cab with the singer-songwriter Jerry Jeff Walker after a night of music in Greenwich Village. Mr. Walker, his face "scarcely visible," sang the first verse of "Heart Like a Wheel," a ballad he'd heard the Canadian sisters Kate and Anna McGarrigle sing at a folk festival. The lyric began with raw emotions but seasoned them with metaphor — the wheel that when it bends can't be mended — and a plaintive question, "What I can't understand/Oh please God hold my hand/ Why it had to happen to me?"
Here was a story that could be sung but also interpreted. "I felt like a bomb had exploded in my head," Ms. Ronstadt writes.
Other songwriters were emerging too — Karla Bonoff, Jackson Browne, J. D. Souther, Warren Zevon — many of them living in Southern California. Gram Parsons, a prodigy from the Deep South by way of Harvard, was on the scene as well. A new country-inflected sound, sentimental but sophisticated, was taking shape, its refined instrumentation honed in clubs like the Ash Grove and the Troubadour and then burnished in the studio.
Ms. Ronstadt was its muse and signature performer, especially after the drummer Russ Kunkel taught her how to sing behind the beat. But even as Ms. Ronstadt and her posse were extending the innovations of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in the studio, figures like Mr. Dylan and Mr. Young mounted a counter-revolt, stripping down their effects. A new epithet, "overproduced," entered the debate and then dominated it, with the advent of punk. Ms. Ronstadt made no apologies. "I loved high-fidelity sound," she said. "I chased it all my life." And followed it wherever it led — to Broadway ("The Pirates of Penzance"), to the American standards she revisited with Nelson Riddle, to the keening Appalachian harmonies on her "Trio" recordings with Ms. Harris and Dolly Parton, to the Mexican songs that carried her back to her Sonoran roots.
Most of those records sold well and brought Ms. Ronstadt fresh accolades (and Grammys), but they also implied she had eased into the upholstered wastes of "adult contemporary." Even hits she recorded with Aaron Neville seemed studies in mellifluousness, without sharp edges. She seemed in self-exile from the action.
Her memoir is a reminder of how close to the epicenter she once had been. She opened for the Doors (and was unimpressed with Jim Morrison) and toured with Mr. Young, whom she reveres. A highlight of the book is her account of an all-night jam with Mr. Parsons and Mr. Richards, Mr. Parsons disappearing at intervals to ingest more drugs. At one point, Mr. Richards played "Wild Horses," a new song he had written with Mick Jagger for the next Stones album. Mr. Parsons begged to record it ahead of them. To her astonishment, Mr. Richards complied.
The subtitle "Musical Memoir" signals what Ms. Ronstadt's book is about, but also what it's not about — the hedonistic excesses of the pop star's life. She sidesteps the rampant drug use, though in conversation she acknowledged, "I tried everything," including cocaine, which she did to such excess that she needed to have her nose cauterized, twice. For Ms. Ronstadt, who was often the only woman on the bus and in the hotel, those were not always happy times. "All the men chased girls," she said. "They were good guys," she reflected. "Well, no they weren't. They were cowboys. They were gunslingers."
But many remain good friends, as do most of the celebrated boyfriends, like Jerry Brown, with whom she was so close, during his first time as governor, that she was sometimes called "the first lady of California." And yet, keeping the vow of "I Never Will Marry" (a duet she recorded with Ms. Parton), Ms. Ronstadt is single, though she has two children, ages 22 and 19, who share her three-story home. "They can't believe I had a life before them," Ms. Ronstadt said, almost shrieking with laughter. "I live a very quiet life here, nothing like I did."
Later, she perched on her front stoop, awaiting the taxi she had summoned via an iPhone app for a quick tour of her neighborhood and her favorite spots on the Presidio, where she still walks, though her limit is now 30 minutes. She suddenly remembered that Ms. Harris was coming to town and had invited her to join her on at least one song. Ms. Ronstadt had to say no, because of the Parkinson's.
"Every time Emmy comes to town, I wish I could get up on stage with her," Ms. Ronstadt said. "I know I'd be allowed to, but I can't do it." Instead she will sit in the audience "and think the notes I'd be singing" in earlier times.
"I have no choice," she added, withheld passion at last surging to the surface, just as it does in the songs she made her own. "If there was something I could work on, I'd work on it till I could get it back. If there was a drug I could take to get it back, I would take the drug. I'd take napalm. But I'm never going to sing again."


text: In 1977, the year In Patagonia was published, I was headed back to Argentina for eighteen months to research the social history of the British and the development of the Anglo-Argentine community, a relatively small immigrant group that had a very large impact on Argentina's banking industry, transportation infrastructure, sports, customs, and agriculture. In Patagonia, called 'a landmark in contemporary travel writing' by the Cambridge Companion to Travel Writing, fed my fascination with Argentina and its history as well as my strong interest in the movement of peoples, how and why individuals chose -- way before the days of instantaneous communication and easy transportation -- to travel long, long distances to live in places radically different from their homes, and how they accommodated and assimilated once there. Patagonia, as Chatwin vividly shows, has attracted and become home to a vastly diverse array of people, among them Boers, English, Lithuanians, Germans, Scots, Welsh, Basques, Russians and of course the native Tehuelches and Mapuches. Reading In Patagonia provoked in me a magnetic attraction to the 'Southern Cone,' a part of the world that has drawn me back, over and over, farther south with each visit.

If my patient Jimmy had been diagnosed with cancer back in the 1980s, his prognosis would have been grim. Jimmy is eight months old and has hepatoblastoma, a rare type of liver cancer; in the past the only hope of cure was surgery (if possible), together with old, ineffective chemotherapy treatments.However, new drugs, tested in a series of clinical trials throughout Europe involving more than 500 children, have dramatically boosted survival rates in less than 10 years. Jimmy's chances of recovery are now 75 per cent, up from 30 per cent.
As a consultant who has treated children with cancer for more than two decades, I have seen the difference trials have made. Every year, 1,500 children are diagnosed with cancer in Britain. 40 years ago, a quarter were expected to survive – now four in five will do so, as my co-authors and I reported in the Annals of Oncology last week. But my concern is that unwieldy EU regulation is now threatening the advances we have made – and future progress.
A clinical trial compares current treatment with a modification of that treatment or with a new one that doctors and scientists hope will work better. Survival rates can be boosted – as we see in cases like Jimmy's. It also means that we can develop treatment regimes with less severe side effects.
I've just completed a 10-year international clinical trial into Wilms' tumour (a kidney cancer), in which more than 4,000 children took part. One of the drugs used to treat it can cause heart failure in later life. We've been able to show that an additional 25 per cent of children with Wilms' tumour don't need this drug. We also discovered a new sub-type of Wilms' tumour that benefits from stronger treatment; we are now doing more molecular tests to see how many sub-types of tumour there are so that we can personalise each child's treatment further.
But the 2004 EU Clinical Trials Directive is putting such breakthroughs at risk. It was brought in with the laudable aim of harmonising trial methods and setting standards for administration. The impact is different; the number of new clinical trials in Europe between 2007 and 2011 dropped by a quarter.
The reasons? First, the directive applies the same standards of safety reporting to drugs that have been used for decades as drugs never used in humans before. So every time a child enrolled in a trial is admitted to hospital – even if it is nothing to do with the trial – this must be reported, generating a huge amount of paperwork.
The directive has also made it mandatory for each country to ensure participants get anti-cancer drugs free of charge. In Britain, the NHS provides standard drugs for free, and we work with drug companies to provide new drugs for children's cancer trials. But in Poland or Hungary, for example, the institution leading the trial is expected to pay treatment costs, which most cannot afford.
Added to this is the EU's insistence on insurance. In Britain we have NHS indemnity insurance but in other countries the cost has gone up 100-fold.
Bureaucracy has slowed everything down. Yet pharmaceutical companies with drugs to trial want partnerships with institutions that can get a study running in 60 days. We're a long way off that. So instead such companies are going to North America, China and India. That means children in Britain may not get new drugs for 10 years or more because we won't have early access to information that shows which treatments are working.
I wholeheartedly support current efforts to reform the directive. We need to ensure a more proportionate approach to risk, more flexibility and less paperwork. Most of all, drugs that are in habitual use should no longer be subject to the full force of regulation.
If this doesn't happen, we'll be stuck using standard treatments rather than finding new ones. We'll see too many children with rarer cancers continuing to die, and others enduring serious side effects such as hearing problems and infertility.
I'm not sure the trial I've just completed would have gone ahead if the directive had been in place a few years earlier. It certainly would have taken much longer to set up. But it's already making a big difference to many children with kidney cancer – and has given us vital information for the future.

Baby Boomer Exodus Puts Many Industries at Risk
Baby Boomers make up more of the U.S. work force -- 38 percent -- than any other age group, and even with the recession forcing many to delay retirement a few years, the first Boomers will turn 65 in 2011 and will begin retiring.
That will be the beginning of a retirement boom over the next five years, giving businesses some lead time to capture that departing knowledge and giving younger workers in industries crowded with Boomers room to move up, said Ken Ball, co-author with Gina Gotsill of the new book 'Surviving the Baby Boomer Exodus.'
The oil and gas industry, for example, is one growth area because Generation Y, the kids of Boomers, don't want jobs requiring them to be away from home a lot, according to the book. Older geologists and rig managers are staying on the job longer without younger workers to replace them.
The manufacturing industry is another area where Boomers make up a large percentage of the work force. The industry suffers from an image problem, with young people describing it as an "assembly line" and saying a career there is like "serving a life sentence," according to the book.
-- See average salaries for jobs in the following industries: manufacturing, utilities, and oil and gas.
"Negative perceptions and image problems make industries such as utilities, oil and gas producers and marketers, and manufacturing especially vulnerable to impending Boomer retirements," the authors write. "These industries aren't drawing the people who might replace mature workers as they step away. Systemic losses, such as hiring practices and cost-cutting, compound the problem and have created an environment where knowledge gaps could impact operations."
Other areas where Boomers are expected to leave include education, health care and government jobs -- basically industries where people tend to stay a long time once hired.
Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964, and are 46 to 65 years old. The book details how to capture their work knowledge before they retire, a process that can take a few hours to many months, depending on the job skills and if the knowledge is tacit or implicit. Tacit knowledge, such as explaining how to ride a bike, can take a lot more time.
Without transferring that information, businesses will lose their level of leadership and skilled trade levels could drop off, Ball said in a telephone interview. Other downsides include lost productivity, a competitive disadvantage, disruption in service, and re-creating the wheel at work, he said.
-- See average salaries for workers aged 44 to 65.
The culture of the company and how much employees are valued play big parts in whether a retiring worker's knowledge is shared. Mentoring programs are needed.
"If you don't have that culture, they're going to say, 'Why in the hell should I share my information? What's in it for me?'" Ball said.
For the employer and upcoming employees, a lot is at stake.
