"As an avid knitter, I am always looking for new projects to make and often like to make gifts for everyone in my family. This hat and scarf set would make a great gift for the men in my life! The instructions are clear and should be easy to follow."
"Any brown paper will degrade over time unless it's coated with plastic or wax. Grocery store brown paper bags should work fine however, if you want the paper to degrade a little more quickly, most paper towels or paper napkins will work fine. The only thing I would worry about is that watering the plants will make both psper tubes and paper fall apart."
"Crafts requiring saws, blades or chemicals should be left to adults. Perhaps children could help with other aspects of the craft, such as painting or gluing."
"I agree with others who have said crafts involving chemicals, machines, blades, etc are best left to adults or with close adult supervision."
"I would have to say any craft requiring the use of machinery (IE woodworking, sewing ) is specifically meant for adults only. Anything requiring the use of chemicals as well. However these can all be taught to children in a form of respect for safety by a supervising adult D"

Comments: I really like this shoe. Thanks running warehouse for the shoe size tips. Going up a half size worked out really well. The Flyknit has lots of cushion and is super light. I took it out for an 8 mile test run and had no issues. I found it to have great support and was fun to run in. I also wear the Nike Pegasus. In comparison, this shoe is more streamline but, going up the 1/2 size makes the fit perfect.

Johnson City Police get extra training on noise detectors
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Noise detectors are nothing new for the Johnson City Police Department but officers are getting extra training to be able to handle a new part of the noise ordinance the city hopes to pass.
The officers are learning how to do a different kind of reading that will measure a lower frequency. This comes after the second reading the city had about a proposed change to the current ordinance. That change came after the city received several noise complaints.
Johnson City Police Officer John Dempsey says these devices are important because without them it would be the officers discretion if the noise was too loud. "We go to the place where the noise complaint is. We go to the person's property line and we hold the sound meter approximately five feet off the ground and just let it calculate the readings," adds Dempsey.
The final reading for the change in the noise ordinance will be at the next Johnson City Commission Meeting in early October.

New Risks for Kids Crossing the Street »
"Oct. 19, 2012 -- Today's parents may need to update their advice for crossing the street safely to: "Look both ways and turn off the cell phone!"
A new study shows teens are twice as likely as adults to be hit by a car while crossing"...
Diphtheria and Tetanus
Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed
Tripedia® (diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis vaccine)
Tripedia®, Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed (DTaP), for intramuscular use, is a sterile preparation of diphtheria and tetanus toxoids adsorbed, with acellular pertussis vaccine in an isotonic sodium chloride solution containing sodium phosphate to control pH. After shaking, the vaccine is a homogeneous white suspension. Tripedia (diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis vaccine) vaccine is distributed by Aventis Pasteur Inc. (AvP).
Corynebacterium diphtheriae cultures are grown in a modified Mueller and Miller medium.1 Clostridium tetani cultures are grown in a peptone-based medium containing a bovine extract. The meat used in this medium is US sourced. Both toxins are detoxified with formaldehyde. The detoxified materials are then separately purified by serial ammonium sulfate fractionation and diafiltration.
The acellular pertussis vaccine components are isolated from culture fluids of Phase 1 Bordetella pertussis grown in a modified Stainer-Scholte medium.2 After purification by salt precipitation, ultracentrifugation, and ultrafiltration, preparations containing varying amounts of both pertussis toxin (PT) and filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) are combined to obtain a 1:1 ratio and treated with formaldehyde to inactivate PT.
The diphtheria and tetanus toxoids are adsorbed using aluminum potassium sulfate (alum). The adsorbed toxoids are combined with acellular pertussis concentrate, and diluted to a final volume using sterile phosphate-buffered physiological saline.
Each 0.5 mL dose is formulated to contain 6.7 Lf of diphtheria toxoid and 5 Lf of tetanus toxoid (both toxoids induce at least 2 units of antitoxin per mL in the guinea pig potency test), and 46.8 mg of pertussis antigens. This is represented in the final vaccine as approximately 23.4 mg of inactivated PT and 23.4 mg of FHA. The inactivated acellular pertussis component contributes not more than 50 endotoxin units to the endotoxin content of 1 mL of DTaP. The potency of the pertussis components is evaluated by measuring the antibody response to PT and FHA in immunized mice using an ELISA system. The vaccine is formulated without preservatives, but contains a trace amount of thimerosal [(mercury derivative), (≤0.3 mg mercury/dose)] from the manufacturing process. Each 0.5 mL dose also contains, by assay, not more than 0.170 mg of aluminum and not more than 100 mg (0.02%) of residual formaldehyde. The vaccine contains gelatin and polysorbate 80 (Tween-80), which are used in the production of the pertussis concentrate.
Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Concentrates (For Further Manufacturing Use) are produced by The Research Foundation for Microbial Diseases of Osaka University (BIKEN), Osaka, Japan, under United States (US) license, and are combined with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids manufactured by AvP. Tripedia (diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis vaccine) vaccine is filled, labeled, packaged, and released by AvP.
When Tripedia (diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis vaccine) vaccine is used to reconstitute ActHIB[Haemophilus b Conjugate Vaccine (Tetanus Toxoid Conjugate) manufactured by Aventis Pasteur SA] the combination vaccine is TriHIBit. Each single 0.5 mL dose of TriHIBit vaccine for the fourth dose only, is formulated to contain 6.7 Lf of diphtheria toxoid, 5 Lf of tetanus toxoid (both toxoids induce at least 2 units of antitoxin per mL in the guinea pig potency test), 46.8 mg of pertussis antigens (approximately 23.4 mg of inactivated PT and 23.4 mg of FHA), 10 mg of purified Haemophilus influenzae type b capsular polysaccharide conjugated to 24 mg of inactivated tetanus toxoid, and 8.5% sucrose. (Refer to ActHIB vaccine package insert.)

NRCS Ag Adviser Recognized for Outstanding Service in Afghanistan
An assistant state conservationist with USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service recently received a top honor for his service overseas in Afghanistan, where he served as an agricultural adviser for two different tours.
Darren Richardson, who works for NRCS in Lubbock County, Texas, was among 72 people recognized by USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service in late May. Richardson received the Tom Stefani Distinguished International Service Award for brave accomplishments in the face of danger.
Richardson served as a senior adviser to the U.S. Consulate in Herat, Afghanistan. Richardson served two tours, from 2009 to 2010 as a technical advisor for the military unit, and in 2013 as a senior agricultural advisor in western Afghanistan, supervising USDA field advisers in the western region.
His service as an adviser was short-lived because of the tragic bombing of the U.S. Consulate in Herat, claiming the lives of eight Afghan soldiers and consulate security forces. Distinguishing himself as a first responder, Richardson assisted the consulate medical staff with treating and saving two wounded security guards, even during a gunfight with terrorists taking place outside of the consulate.
"It is always an honor to be recognized for service and achievements," Richardson said. "But the Tom Stefani award is especially meaningful to me because in addition to recognizing my service in Afghanistan, it honors the sacrifice of Stefani who lost his life in Afghanistan while serving as a USDA agricultural advisor."
As an agricultural adviser, Richardson worked closely with the provincial representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock, building great rapports and regularly organizing their regional training sessions which brought Ministry of Agriculture officials together from four western provinces to coordinate natural resource planning, share expertise and bring in international agricultural experts for technical training of their staff.
He also coordinated and managed the work of the USDA-funded Afghan Agricultural Extension Program, or AAEP to bring agriculture extension specialists from U.S. land grant universities to Afghanistan for the training of Ministry of Agriculture extension staffs.
Richardson also advised international partners on their development efforts, worked as a certified grants officer representative, advising on and overseeing numerous small grants – in addition to many other activities that helped to revitalize the agricultural sectors in Afghanistan. The grants funded a variety of projects, such as implementing technical trainings for farmers, women's groups and governmental employees.
Richardson began his career in 1987 as a soil conservationist with the Soil Conservation Service in Texas. He also served as a district conservationist, and resource team leader throughout the High Plains and West Texas regions.
"I appreciate the opportunity provided to me by FAS and NRCS to serve in Afghanistan," Richardson said. "I think it is an outstanding example of interagency cooperation to address a unique situation where USDA expertise was desperately needed in the overall U.S. effort in Iraq and Afghanistan."
NRCS staff members have embedded in the U.S. military since 2003 and worked on conservation projects with local farmers in Afghanistan and Iraq as part of the nation's civilian effort in reconstruction. Learn more about ag advisers from NRCS.

Will the real Hal Sparks please stand up?
If I had to describe television star, radio personality, stand up comedian and metal band leader Hal Sparks in one word, I would find it difficult to do so. Sparks, most recognizable as Michael on the groundbreaking "Queer As Folk" series on Showtime and past host on "Talk Soup," has amassed such a varied resume of work over the past 13 years even a chameleon might be a bit perplexed.
And, if you throw in his political activism and gay rights support the pot thickens. One may think that his current role on Disney's "Lab Rats," which became Disney's most viewed first season program, doesn't follow any career pattern for Sparks. But, after spending some time speaking with Hal prior to his upcoming stand-up show at San Francisco's jazz club Yoshi's on September 22, it became apparent there was no pattern to follow.
Sparks shared with me the risks and gains associated with taking a gay character role on "Queer As Folk," his thoughts on the position taken by the Republican Party on gay rights, what having a varied career does for his future, and how funny he finds our journey into the future.
About Zero One
BeBe: Having followed your career from the early days of 'Talk Soup,' then on to 'Queer as Folk,' and now on Disney's new series 'Lab Rats,' I have always found the dichotomy of your career to be interesting. There are so many facets to your career that I don't think many have taken notice of. You do your stand up comedy, you're a television series guy, you're on the radio (fill-in host on the Stephanie Miller Radio Show), and then you're in a band, too? Wow! Can you tell me a little about your band Zero One and your new album release?
Hal Sparks: We're a metal band. I've been in bands or writing music since I was in high school, and like a lot of songwriters, I only got good at it a couple of years ago (laughs). Enough of my friends like the material enough that they said I should put out a record, so we did, 'The Sacred Nothing.' Now we are working on our second record and an EP. We did a mid-western tour because one of our songs from the upcoming record, not released yet, got out (leaked) and they liked it a lot in the Midwest, so we did a bunch of dates there. It was really amazing!
It's got a life of its own (the band). I've seen how other actors who also sing have been received, so I make sure we don't skip any steps. I don't use my notoriety to get us anything other than maybe get us on a local radio when we are playing someplace. But for the most part, we're climbing the ranks just like you should. I don't think anybody's a real band until they have three albums out, so we're still in the growth phase in that regard. But, I'm proud of it.
All about 'QAF'
BeBe: I don't know if a lot of people are aware that back in your high school days in Chicago, you were labeled as the 'funniest teenager in Chicago' by the Chicago Sun newspaper. So knowing that, it definitely seems a natural progression that a funny teen would get a gig as the host of 'Talk Soup' as a young adult. That is where most of us got our initial exposure to Hal Sparks. But, how does a funny guy go from a funny entertainment news show to a five-year stint on a TV drama show like 'Queer As Folk?'
Hal Sparks: I don't think one does. I think it's an oddity. The amazing thing about the switch from 'Talk Soup' to 'Queer As Folk' is that it doesn't happen (naturally). That is one of the multitude of reasons I didn't bat an eye at the idea of doing it. Even just to do a dramatic series, regardless of the content, is kind of bizarre step when you come off of 'Talk Soup.' That anyone in the industry would let you do anything other than follow brand directly and end up on a sitcom or something is bizarre. You could disappear for 4 years like Gale Harold (Brian Kinney on 'Queer As Folk') did and come back to do movies. But there is generally no bridge. You're not allowed to do anything in the middle that isn't directly on message.
I lucked out because I was fired from 'Talk Soup,' and while I was waiting to figure out what I was going to do next, I got 'Dude, Where's My Car?' (the 2000 film), which even in itself was an odd transition. In the middle of filming 'Dude, Where's My Car?,' here comes the script for 'Queer As Folk.' My agent and manager at the time were like 'hmmm, this worries me', but they knew I'd want to read it, and they knew I wouldn't care (about the gay content). I was one of the few clients they had that wouldn't care. My agent basically came into my office and dropped the script on my desk wearing a Hazmat suit with salad tongs. Plop, there!
And, he ran away because he was unnerved by it. Now, keep in mind, this doesn't make them bad people, it just makes them tentative business people. Everyone up to that point who had played a gay character, particularly at this level, their career was over. I mean Eric McCormack was still on "Will & Grace," but hadn't done anything else. Just from a business point their thought was this might take this guy (Hal), who is on the projectory to becoming a sitcom star, and this might scuttle his career. That basically is what they were thinking. Even though it could be overly simplified to be a kind of bigoted act on their part, I understand their resonance, especially at this point. Keep in mind, 'Queer Eye For The Straight Guy' wasn't even on the air. So, the word 'queer' had never been used in the title of an American show.
One of the reasons why post-'Talk Soup' all of the talk shows, whom I was very friendly with while hosting 'Talk Soup,' wouldn't have me on their show was because they didn't want a title with the word queer in it under my name (on the TV screen). They didn't want to put the word queer in print on television. That was reason enough not to interview me. So, I get it. Even though I think people had pushed forward in their thinking, which is why I ultimately took the role, I understood where other people were in their thinking. So, with all that being said, the only reason I was able to get the role was because they (producers of 'Queer As Folk') hadn't been able to cast it for months. I wouldn't have been able to get the job if somebody else would have come forward and said I want to do this. So, soft bigotry and fear actually helped me, career-wise. The same bigotry and fear we fought on the show was the reason I was able to do the show.
Pushing the envelope
BeBe: And forget about the characters within the show because putting them aside, the issues that were covered within the context of 'Queer As Folk' are enough to compound exponentially the accolades for you doing the show. With the word queer was in front of the American audience because they were watching the show, that created dialogue. The show tackled gay marriage, HIV and AIDS, and gay couple parenting and adoptions. You tackled all this on one show!
Hal Sparks: We also talked about HIV positive/negative relationships. It's one thing to say both people in a relationship are HIV positive and that's the end of that story, and it's another to say that these positive/negative partners have a lasting relationship forever. I had a real resentment, an honest and genuine one, when people would call us 'the gay 'Sex and the City.'' You hear that a lot, even amongst the gay community. I don't recall 'Sex and the City' dealing with HIV, or domestic violence, or drug abuse. We opened the show with a lesbian couple having a child using a gay sperm donor. That's just the opening of the show!
And then there's Ben and Michael (Sparks' role) characters adopting a grown child with HIV who was forced into homosexual prostitution by his straight mother. We did some stuff right out of the box that still, to this day, boggles my mind. Even today you watch all the legislation and the guys supporting Uganda to kill the gays. They live so miserably. With existence of 'Queer As Folk' and of course the activists, Harvey Milk, the Stonewall Riots and the whole cascade of gay rights in the United States, their opposition to gays has failed so miserably that they are now exporting their bullshit to another country. They are hoping their philosophy will take hold in Third World countries because of the lack of education and understanding there, it will make it easier for their bigoted nonsense to take root, and the ironic part is that it isn't, even with their help and money. And, that's very reassuring.
Supporting LGBT rights
BeBe: Do you consider 'Queer As Folk' to be a pioneer with its presentation of so many social issues related to gay rights, to what we now see on television? I mean a couple of years ago, which has now become somewhat of a gay community joke, every show on TV had to have a gay character on it. Do you think the success of 'Queer As Folk' had anything to do with that?
Hal Sparks: I don't think, I know it has. I've seen it. I'm sure producers, directors and show creators know that by blowing the door off the hinges as strongly as 'Queer As Folk' has in dealing with these super issues, it certainly makes it easier to dial back and deal with normalcy. The extraordinary part of 'Queer As Folk' is that you had these characters who were incredibly flawed, who were everything unmentionable in the gay community, and yet, you still loved them because you understood them as not that different than those who lead a similar heterosexual lifestyle, in fact, quite on par quite frankly.
BeBe: And, what is your commentary on the actors on the show who weren't gay and were playing gay characters and were successful in maintaining a strong identity of who they really are?
Hal Sparks: Well there was a cost for everybody involved, including the gay actors on the show. There was a limitation of who would work with you after the fact, and whether or not they could see past that we were on this show and allow you to play something outside of that. I went on a strategic mission to define myself as a person separate from my character (Michael) that had nothing to do with the sexuality of the character.
I mean, if you are John Boy Walton and you play a farmer in your next two movies, whose fault is it that your career is fucked, and you can't play anything but farmers or rednecks? And if I played a put-upon nerd, gay or straight, the next two series or jumped on something right after "Queer As Folk," I'd keep getting offers to play the same exact character as Michael, except straight. So, as an actor, as a business man, as a human being, I decided to reintroduce myself to people as to who I was for real. Who I am is a comedian. Who I am is a political activist.
And, who I am is a gay rights supporter as a straight man. That was really important because I've noticed one really specific thing, and I wonder if the leaders or people who deal with the issue a lot have noticed, that opponents of gay rights seem to be of the opinion anyone who supports gay rights must also themselves be gay.
The First Gay President
BeBe: That's the same issue that those working hard against the AIDS epidemic and the education on HIV prevention. The assumption is that they are gay and infected.
Hal Sparks:: Exactly, which is absurd. Here's the reasoning behind it (the assumptions) too. The idea is in the subtle to the LGBT community that you have no friends. This is the message of the Republican right. You have no friends. You have other gays and of course they're on your side, but you have no straights. Anyone who is helping you are gay themselves. Look at the Newsweek cover, Obama is The First Gay President.
That wasn't some accident. That wasn't because of how pro-gay he is. And, it wasn't a direct reference to Clinton is The First Black President reference. But the point of the Newsweek cover that the super right Republicans are trying to push is that Obama's gay and was once married to a man. They want this floating idea around because they hope that it will scare away straight allies, and hope that it will remind the gay community that nobody but you cares about you. And, that is certainly not the case! It was very important for me to go and say I was straight before, straight after, and straight during the show. I played a gay character, and nothing is going to change who I am, so why would you Republicans expect to change who gays are? If I'm allowed to be who I am, gays should be allowed to be who they are. Period. End of story. People will be happier, safer and more healthy if they were allowed to be themselves. That was the purpose of me doing 'Queer As Folk.'
Showing his range
BeBe: With all the dichotomy in your career, which you have spoken about here, do you think you have two maybe three different fan bases out there, or do they meet somewhere in the middle?
Hal Sparks: There are certainly schisms where some people don't intermingle or are confused about that intermingling, but they are very rare. I think I have a career kind of like the Obama presidency. (Continuing under some chuckling) I have a huge cache of progressive and forward thinking and contemporary, futuristic looking people. People who think we'll be around in 1,000 years, and want that to be the case.
And then, I have some really hard core activists who think it (being gay) shouldn't be an issue. These days, because of social media and those kind of things, I'm way more able to overlap audiences than I was able to initially 10 years ago. The confusion is easier to abate by a twitter, you know I mean? It really is. Millions of people can see who you really are in a short bit (of time).
BeBe: There was some time between your roles on 'Queer As Folk,' and now, 'Lab Rats' where we didn't see you on television. Take me through what was going on during that interim period, and how you came to be in a Disney series?
Hal Sparks: Well as a new Dad with a lot of friends who also have children, I recognize the need for children's programing in a positive and fun way that is important to me, too. I think you can have old conversations, you just don't have them in the same place. You can talk about sex openly and honestly in a comedy club, and then have a conversation on other topics that's appropriate around children. It always amazes me that some people think you can't, for whatever reason, do both. That's always funny. People go,'how can you do a special like 'Charmageddon' (Showtime), and be on Disney, and do 'Queer As Folk' '? Well, because you talk differently to your grandparents than you do to your children than you do to your partner, don't you?
A versatile performer
BeBe: I thought Bill Cosby had put that question to rest some time ago. No?
Hal Sparks: I'll tell you who really did, it was George Carlin. He was the conductor on (children's show 'Shining Time Station,' and has probably the most direct conversations about sex, race, politics, and religion in his stand up,I think more than anyone, including Lenny Bruce. So with that, I don't think it strange a thing I'm able to play and have fun in the company of children and not be inappropriate. In between 'Queer As Folk' and 'Lab Rats,' I had a children's cartoon on Nickelodeon, 'Tak and the Power of JuJu,' that I voiced. If you look at it, there has been an intensely dense amount of work between the two shows. I was doing stand up, working on my television special ('Charmageddon'), touring with my band and all that. But, sense it wasn't on television people didn't have the direct linkage.
BeBe: I want to share with you that in my discussions about you with my friends, I found it interesting how people were responding positively about you based on your show now on Disney than your series on Showtime in the past. I think that show's progression in how people can take you at any point in your life or career and look at you at that moment without going back and trying to make sense of a puzzle that has some pieces that just don't fit.
Hal Sparks: The cool part about that is I can cut a slice of my career going forward in any direction I want, quite frankly. I can make adjustments to my career in anything because, at this point, it would shock no one (laughing). Though I'll take all the kudos of being a versatile performer, I think the variety of work I've done speaks very well to how far the culture has come.
BeBe: With all the facets to Hal Sparks that we've come to know, what will the audience you'll be facing in your upcoming two shows at the legendary San Francisco jazz club Yoshi's on September 22nd see on stage?
Hal Sparks: Well, my stand up is more social and cultural than political when I do my regular set. So, I really won't be in sex liberal mode naming names and doing topical stuff. Most of my stuff from a much deeper and cultural understanding of where we're going and trying to really extrapolate from that where we're going in the future.
A lot of my jokes these days are about where we are headed, and the hilarity in comparing where we are culturally now, and where we will be in 20 years. To be able to make fun of us in this process, I just find hilarious. Maybe we will be okay, maybe we are going further and faster than we think and don't have to live in fear of it.

As an actress, BeBe was introduced to film with a lead role in the independent film "Under One Sun" with her character dealing with religious, racial and gender issues. Additionally, she appeared in the campy musical "Devious, Inc" (Australian Film Festival, San Francisco Short Film Fest) also adding additional vocals to the musical soundtrack. Both of these performances led to her selection for a lead role in Aisha Media's next short film series, "Con-tin.u.um" to be released in 2012.

Birthday Gift!
"I purchased these for my father for his birthday. He had a pair of New Balance shoes from a couple years ago and he loved them. These seem to fit the same, which is good for product consistency. He likes the vibrant blue color on them, it really pops. They are comfortable and if they hold up like the prior pair should be a great shoe."

No respect, not today, not yesterday and probably not tomorrow for the so-called little guys in college football, as the big boys are at it again in college football.
Once again the supremacy of the haves is being challenged by the so-called wannabes. For just about the entire college football season, either Boise State or TCU has been ranked near the top of the college rankings and some just don't believe that they are for real and deserve their spots there.
Just the other day, the President of Ohio State University, I presume a somewhat educated man judging from the job title that he has, had the audacity to say that both TCU and BSU do not belong with the big boys, that they do not play a schedule worthy of being considered a potential champion. He states "their schedule is like playing the Little Sisters of the Poor while we play fine schools on any given day."
What a piece of crap that statement is and what a pompous idiot to actually make such a statement. It just proves once again that just because one has an education that not everyone is smart.
I am not knocking getting as much education that one can but somewhere along the line one must also develop some common sense. On this day, this college president did not demonstrate his having any.
In college football, there are some excellent programs spread throughout the country including two right here in Utah. But with one exception, at least in my mind and that is the only one that counts as I write this piece, there are no great football conferences. That lone exception is the SEC, where good football is played just about everywhere, every Saturday.
The PAC 10, the Big 10, the Big 12, the ACC, and the Big East all are rather ordinary conferences when it comes to college football. While they may want to champion their own cause, in actuality they all are football conferences with a couple of good teams and the rest being quite ordinary.
In fact, the Big East and the ACC are so bad that they barely have any team ranked in the top 25 programs in the country in college football this season. That is a problem.
While BSU and TCU or even Utah, up to a couple of weeks ago, have to worry about a spot in the BCS crap, these conferences are blessed with each having a spot guaranteed that will bring millions of dollars into their programs. That is wrong.
It is still time for the BCS to go away. They are all about money for themselves and not about crowning a true college champion. The colleges of the NCAA ought to be making the money from these games and not some organization that is there just to promote themselves.
While bowl games are nice, going to or watching on TV a real playoff game would be so much better and so much more profitable for the schools of this country.
True champions are crowned from junior high school all the way to the NFL, in every sport that exists with the lone exception of major college football. It is now time to have one here. When you win, you get bragging rights and when you don't, well there is always next year.
Decide the game on the field, not with your mouth or with a vote. End the crap now.

Skip to comments.Labor Dept: On second thought, looks like we might have that jobs report ready on Friday after all
Posted on 10/30/2012 6:25:10 PM PDT by markomalley
Sandy did hit D.C. but only with a glancing blow, so the prospect of BLS statisticians being stranded at home in the suburbs has faded along with the storm. Even if they were getting hammered, though, if you worked for BLS, wouldnt you move heaven and earth to make sure this report came out according to its regular schedule? If they delayed what turned out to be a bad report and Obama won the election in the interim, theyd have half the country suspicious of their motives unto eternity. As would also be the case, needless to say, if the incumbent were a Republican and staring down the barrel of a jobless rate stuck near eight percent.
Crisis (probably) averted:
A Labor Department official tells CBS News correspondent Bob Fuss there should be no delay in the release of the monthly employment report. Its expected to be released this Friday at 8:30 a.m. ET
There had been some speculation the report would be delayed as a result of Superstorm Sandy. Preparation for the jobs report typically ramps up in the week of the release. The federal government was closed Monday and Tuesday due to the storm.
On Monday the Labor Department had issued a statement saying, It is our intention that Friday will be business as usual regarding the October Employment Situation report.
ABC and Bloomberg were hearing the same thing earlier this afternoon, with former Obama advisor Austan Goolsbee telling the latter that he expected BLS would crunch the numbers at their satellite offices outside D.C. if need be rather than delay the report. Bloomberg makes a fair point in arguing separately that its silly for people to put so much stock in a measurement that tells us so little about whats really going on in the economy (a point HA readers understand only too well), but there are lots of silly things that affect peoples votes and most of them are far sillier than this. Rest assured, The One was careful to affect his most serious serious face while being briefed on Sandy for the benefit of the White House photographer snapping pictures in the Situation Room. Looking presidential in a crisis can tip votes, and thats how you look presidential. Little late in the game now to be grumbling about the merits of the BLS numbers.
Mickey Kaus makes a fair point too. If this was all a matter of the White House and the BLS playing with the numbers to help O out, theres obviously something more potent they could (but wont) do than simply shelving the final jobs report:
Im assuming the Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the October employment statistics on schedule. The paranoia that would accompany a delay (this close to the election) would be too destructive, even if the delay was justifiable. But if the Obama administration were really playing politics with the numbers in the way the paranoids fear, do you think it would merely delay the release of the numbers? Not cunning enough!
The obvious Machiavellian four-step would be 1) delay the release of the numbers 2) wait for the Romney camp to get caught up in the paranoia and publicly demand that the administration release the numbers 3) at the moment of maximum dramatic tension, release the numbers! 4) Have the numbers be unexpectedly good. There is precedent for this maneuver.
Exit question: How far would the current rate of 7.8 percent have to move on Friday to really impact the election? My sense of low-information voters is that theyre almost entirely tuned out to the actual numbers, and may even be tuned out to good/bad trends in the numbers unless the trend is sharp enough to lend an air of celebration or dread, as the case may be, to news stories about it. Thats what theyre reacting to I think the tone of the coverage as a portent of how the economy more broadly is doing, not the actual facts being reported about the data. My question is, what sort of movement in Fridays would cause the media to celebrate/despair? A one-tenth percent drop or increase? Two-tenths? And yes, its perfectly fine to wonder if the bar for grim reports has risen now that were on the eve of an election.
Isn't that surprising. Freshly cooked? I wonder how they managed to slant the data this time.
Yep, in Obama's favor no doubt.
No other possible explanation.
"The economy continued its strong recovery under the leadership of President Obama as Republicans attempted to downplay the irrefutable evidence leading into election week"
On second thought, we thought the numbers were going to be really, really bad, but we think we can massage them to look good for Obama just before the election weekend.
Last month's "drop" in unemployment numbers was because California didn't report on time.
This month NJ, DE, PA, MD and NY won't report on time.
Or else.
Friday's number will be 5.4%
They saved up all those new jobs and kept them in a lock box.
47% of voters will believe it.
And Romney will win.
Don't be silly. With several states not reporting, several more with unemployment offices impacted by the storm, I'd be astonished if the "official" number is much higher than 6.7%
The correction won't happen until well after the election, and the much higher number won't even be mentioned by the MSM unless Mitt wins, and then only to blame him.
At some point even the dimmest figure out that once half gallon tub of ice cream is now only a 1.5 quarts — just in a similar carton. Same goes w/ the unemployment #s. They can only be cooked so much before people recognize that the number keeps going down, yet none of their unemployed friends or family have found work or appropriate work to their education & that their own wage/salary is flat.
So if BLS wants to "help" Obama and release a fantastic, but unrealistic report again, let them. Only Obamatons believe everything in Obama's press releases, and there are fewer and fewer of those daily.
I wouldnt be surprised if it became 2 percent..the media will hail Obama as the messiah once again..the unemployment numbers are all a bunch of cooked nonsense anyway only morons would believe it and those morons vote for Obama anyway
Let me guess, 5.4% and they'll adjust it up to 8.3% after the election.
Guess that means more data manipulation in Obama's favor.
Unemployment will magically be 5% because people in 21 states hit by storm aren't counted as "looking for work".....
I think the lefties at BLS are feverishly trying to get it out because it will look Good on Obama. Bryar patch and all that, we had been set up. It would have to be anohter, say, 0.2 or 0.3 drop for the media to be able to say its a miraculous recovery, still not sure what effect that would have. I think the coverage of Obama and the Storm will have more effect really.
"Isnt that surprising. Freshly cooked? I wonder how they managed to slant the data this time."
It'll be like 1983 all over again. A boom! Nevermind the data-fog of the following week's revisions will be lost to whatever the election results are.
I just hate people toying with the information coming out of the government we pay for. Far too many are career liars!
Most obamatons don't believe they're own voices. You can tell they're doing all they can to be convincing.
Don't they have to show the 30,000 unemployed that WERE NOT reported by California last week that was the cause of the drop to 7.8%.
Ooops, we lied last week, move along sheeple.
If Romney wins the unemployment rate will be 20% Jan 22 ......
That's funny. I was just thinking earlier today, about that dynamic.
At one minute after being sworn in, Obama will be absolved of any responsibility for any of the negative indicators Romney inherits. It will all be Romney's fault.
Watch the homeless become an instant concern.
The interesting thing is, Romney isn't the type to blame others. He's going to strive to fix things, and take that responsibility upon himself from the get-go.
I'm not a big Romney fan, but the difference between the two men is startling. I don't see how Obama achieved anything in his life. He just doesn't have it in him.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn his whole life has been a complete fraud, including his education.
None of the people who took classes he was supposed to be in, ever saw him in those classes. At least that's what I've heard a few times.
It will be interesting to see what we find out about this guy in the future. Hopefully, it will be such a scandal that folks will never fall for something like this again.
The survey is done every month during the week in which the 12th of the month falls. That's when the numbers are collected, so the actual reporting period was three weeks ago. The rest of the time is spent in compiling and adjusting for seasonal and other factors.
No state can blame Sandy for reporting late.
(Seriously, thanks, good point!)
It is now:
Something someone in private industry would do in an afternoon with a spreadsheet.
It's what? Maybe a dozen data points from each of all 57 states*, plus a calender date, and maybe half a dozen "other factors"
* 50 states, District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Samoa, Northern Marianas, Gitmo...
Oh I know, but as of Jan 22 it will reported.
The press also discover the homeless and hungry they have "lost" for 4 years....
It's a little bit more complicated than that. There are actually two labor surveys done each month - the corporate survey that the BLS does, and the household survey done by the private payroll processor ADP. So BLS is using data from two different surveys - the employee side (ADP's) and the employer side (their's). ADP surveys about 60,000 households, and BLS surveys around 140,000 companies and government agencies.
The ADP survey comes out a day or two earlier than the BLS survey, but the BLS uses the ADP numbers to determine the unemployment rate, since only the workers (employed or not) can say whether they are employed or not, and if not, whether they are looking for work or not (i.e, in the labor force or not).
Regardless, ADP does their survey during the week that has the 12th of the month in it, so the numbers are in. They just need to be crunched. Which, I most certainly agree with you, a private company could do quicker and likely more accurately.
BTW - I want to visit that Gitmo state. Supposed to be some nice beaches there...
They called us "FUNemployed"!
They seriously thought their readers would buy it!

There is plenty at stake in this trans-Tasman clash in Wellington as the winners are likely to secure a spot in the play-off positions.
There is plenty at stake in this trans-Tasman clash in Wellington as the winners are likely to secure a spot in the play-off positions.
After a poor start to their campaigns, both teams have done well in recent weeks. The Hurricanes are on a three-match winning streak, after victories over the Crusaders, Highlanders and Kings.
And the Waratahs managed successive wins over the Blues and Western Force.
These sides have played each other on 17 previous occasions with the Hurricanes holding a slight edge with nine victories to the Waratahs' eight.
Although the Hurrcianes beat the Waratahs 33-12, in Sydney last year, the visitors have held the upperhand in this fixture in recent seasons, winning four out of the five previous matches, including two in Wellington.
The Hurricanes have one of the most exciting back-lines in the tournament, with Conrad Smith, Julian Savea and Andre Taylor leading the charge.
However, keep an eye on Savea's younger brother Ardie, who makes his debut in the competition.
The 19-year-old openside flanker is highly rated in New Zealand after impressing in the ITM Cup for Wellington.
The Hurricanes suffered a setback in their win over the Kings when lock Jeremy Thrush left the field with an ankle injury.
Thrush was one of the Hurricanes' main jumpers in the line-out and the set-piece is an area of the home side's game which the Waratahs will look to counter in their bid for victory.
The Waratahs have been criticised for their dour style of play but they have done well on attack in recent weeks.
Adam Ashley-Cooper has impressed at inside centre, as well as Israel Folau, who has proved a handful with ball in hand when joining the line from full-back.
Michael Cheika's side go into this clash with a more experienced pack than the 'Canes and will expect Wallabies like Benn Robinson, Sitaleki Timani, Michael Hooper and captain Dave Dennis to lead the charge up front.
Another Wallaby who will be keen to make an impact is Sekope Kepu. The front-rower hasn't started for the Waratahs in the past three games and was on the bench in their wins over the Blues and Force.
Prediction: Although the Waratahs have not lost to Hurricanes in Wellington in recent years, the home side's current form should see them edge out their visitors in a tight tussle. Hurricanes to win by four points!
Hurricanes: 15 Andre Taylor, 14 Alapati Leiua , 13 Conrad Smith (c), 12 Tim Bateman, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Beauden Barrett, 9 TJ Perenara , 8 Victor Vito / Faifili Levave, 7 Ardie Savea, 6 Brad Shields, 5 Jason Eaton, 4 Mark Reddish, 3 Ben May, 2 Motu Matu'u, 1 Ben Franks.
Replacements: 16 Ash Dixon / Reggie Goodes, 17 Jeffery Toomaga-Allen / Reggie Goodes, 18 James Broadhurst, 19 Faifili Levave / Jack Lam, 20 Chris Smylie, 21 Tusi Pisi, 22 Reynold Lee-Lo.
Waratahs: 15 Israel Folau, 14 Peter Betham, 13 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12 Rob Horne, 11 Drew Mitchell, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Brendan McKibbin, 8 Pat McCutcheon, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Dave Dennis (c), 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Sitaleki Timani, 3 Sekope Kepu, 2 John Ulugia, 1 Benn Robinson.
Replacements: 16 Luke Holmes, 17 Paddy Ryan, 18 Mitchell Chapman, 19 Wycliff Palu, 20 Matt Lucas, 21 Ben Volavola, 22 Tom Kingston.
Date: Saturday, April 6
Venue: Westpac Stadium, Wellington
Kick-off: 19.35 (06.35 GMT)
Referee: Jonathan Kaplan (South Africa)
