Announcing the T3E
Below is the CRI announcement of the T3D, in case you haven't seen it somewhere else. Below that is the article from the Wall Street Journal of 11/27/95 about the T3E announcement:
> EAGAN, Minn., Nov. 28, 1995 -- Cray Research, Inc. (NYSE:CYR) > today announced the CRAY T3E(tm) system, the world's first > truly scalable supercomputer, and said the system's pioneering > technologies redefine the concept of scalable computing. > These scalable technologies will be moved into Cray's current > and future supercomputer products, and over time can also > benefit the company's business server products, the company > said. > > Cray Research reported $92 million in advance orders-to-date > for the new system, slated to begin shipping in early 1996, and > said it expects the CRAY T3E product to expand Cray's revenue > leadership in the market for the most powerful scalable > systems used for scientific and industrial computing. Cray > said the systems have an affordable entry price, starting at > under $1 million and a price/performance as low as $60 per > megaflop (million floating-point operations per second). The > company said it has improved price/performance 3 to 4-fold > over its previous-generation scalable parallel system. > > Redefining Scalable Computing > > "The CRAY T3E is the world's first computer system that > efficiently and cost-effectively scales upward from tens to > thousands of processors," said J. Phillip Samper, Cray > Research chairman and chief executive officer. "This range of > scalability is unrivaled and the innovative technologies we've > developed for the CRAY T3E will be leveraged into our other > computer products -- our supercomputers and business > servers." > > Other computer vendors have narrowly defined scalability as > the ability to add more processors and memory to a system. > "That approach creates systems that are expandable but not > truly scalable, meaning they can handle more small problems > but have performance bottlenecks that prevent them from > efficiently and cost-effectively tackling the biggest, most > important problems and large user workloads," Samper said. > > He said the CRAY T3E system is the first in which every part of > the system scales with the number of processors -- scalable > interprocessor communication, scalable operating system, > scalable input/output (I/O), scalable memory, and therefore > attractive price/performance in all system sizes. > > "This new concept of global scalability' means that the CRAY > T3E system provides leading performance and value in every > system size. Customers are never outside of the sweet spot' > of the product's design, whether they order a system with tens > or thousands of processors," Samper said. The company's > current CRAY T3D product demonstrated Cray's ability to scale > far beyond the competition and in 1994, made Cray the > revenue-leader in the technical market for highly scalable > systems. > > "The compatible new CRAY T3E system is a milestone > achievement that takes scalability a giant step forward," > Samper said. > > Supercomputing Meets Moore's Law > > "With our scalable parallel products Cray Research is bringing > supercomputer development into compliance with Moore's Law, > which effectively means doubling performance every 18-24 > months," said Samper. Cray is operating on this same model > with its commercial business servers, he noted. > > Cray Research is the worldwide revenue leader in the high-end > supercomputing market, with 1994 marketshare of more than > 70 percent, according to the Smaby Group, a Minneapolis-based > research firm that tracks high-performance computing. "With > our CRAY T90 systems that began shipping in volume in the > third quarter and our CRAY T3E system announced today, we > have fully renewed our high-end products during 1995/96 in > order to maintain this committed leadership," Samper said. > > Advance Orders > > Cray Research reported orders from the Pittsburgh > Supercomputing Center, slated to receive the first large, > liquid-cooled system; Mobil Oil Company's Exploration and > Producing Technical Center; Electronic Data Systems (EDS); > Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique, Division des Applications > Militaire -- the military research division of the French > Atomic Energy Commission; Italian university Centro di > Calcolo Interuniversitario dell'Italia Nord-orientale (CINECA); > the French National Supercomputing Facility (IDRIS) for the > National Center of Scientific Research (CNRS); Research Centre > Juelich (KFA) in Germany, Forschungszentrum Juelich; the > National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's > Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (NOAA/GFDL); the San > Diego Supercomputer Center; and the Finnish Center for > Scientific Computing. Additional customer names are being > withheld at the customers' requests. > > Orders-to-date represent a broad spectrum of system sizes > from eight to 512 processors. "We already have orders in hand > for systems with 512 processors," Samper said. "To put that > in perspective, a single 512-processor CRAY T3E system has > peak speed equivalent to about 3,000 personal computers, or > 50 top-of-the-line Silicon Graphics PowerChallenge systems. > Multiply those comparison figures by four for the largest, > 2,048-processor CRAY T3E system," he added. "It would take a > person using a hand-held calculator more than 150,000 years > to do what a 2,048-processor CRAY T3E system does in one > second," he said. > > "Cumulatively, Cray Research has installed or received orders > for more than 10,000 processors and over three teraflops of > peak computing power with our scalable parallel systems, > which I believe makes us the leader in those categories as > well," Samper said. > > The flexibility of the CRAY T3E system, which requires no host > system and is available with virtually any number of > processors, is also producing multiple-system orders in which > a larger system is used as a powerful central server and one or > more smaller systems are networked to the larger system as > departmental servers or development platforms. > > Samper said orders for the new system are well ahead of the > advance order pace set by the current CRAY T3D product. Over > the CRAY T3E system's lifetime, primarily 1996 and 1997, > Samper said he expects the new product to earn substantially > more revenue than the CRAY T3D, Cray's first-generation > scalable parallel supercomputer product, thanks to the CRAY > T3E system's increased performance and price/performance, > more flexible configurations, lower entry pricing and other > enhancements. > > Market Focus > > Advance orders for the CRAY T3E system closely reflect Cray's > market focus for the new product, according to Robert H. > Ewald, Cray Research president and chief operating officer. > "As with our current CRAY T3D system, we anticipate strong > demand from government laboratories, university-based R&D > centers, and automotive, petroleum, aerospace, weather and > environmental organizations of all sizes. They typically need > to solve problems of unprecedented size and complexity, while > reliably supporting hundreds or thousands of technical users in > scientific and engineering R&D and industrial production > computing environments." > > "Our current CRAY T3D product was the first highly scalable > system to demonstrate the scalability, reliability and ease-of- > programming needed to run real-world technical applications > in production environments," Ewald said. "Chrysler > Corporation, for example, is running a third-party code LS- > DYNA3D on its CRAY T3D for day-to-day production runs of > metal stamping simulations to improve the manufacturability > of its new car designs. Phillips Petroleum used its CRAY T3D > system to determine the commercial value of a new subsalt oil > field in the Gulf of Mexico, and other customers are using this > system to run exciting new applications from long-term global > climate prediction to traffic simulation, environmental > remediation and virtual surgery." > > CRAY T3E Product Highlights: > > *The CRAY T3E system combines a sophisticated Cray Research > supercomputer system design (architecture), including Cray > logic chips implemented in low-cost CMOS technology, with > the world's fastest RISC microprocessor -- the DECchip 21164 > (DEC Alpha EV5) from Digital Equipment Corporation -- with > peak performance of 600 million calculations per second > (megaflops) in IEEE standard 32-bit and 64-bit mode. > > *The system design is scalable from eight to 2048 processors, > representing a peak performance range of 4.8 billion > calculations per second (gigaflops) to 1.2 teraflops.

I'm currently going through my dvd set of The Adventures of Superman tv show. I am on seasons 5 and 6, all in great color!!
I love these old shows from the 50's. Even though the "special effects" and sets can be cheesy, its always fun to watch the classics.
Man, I wish George Reeves hadn't died.

I started The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. today. So far I've watched two episodes and I'm really enjoying the show, having never seen it before. Looking forward to see what ol' Bruce, I mean Brisco, gets into next.
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
watched "Ghost Rider" today. ** out of ****- just not a good flick. Some great CGI moments, but for the most part, really boring and not really fun.
Also watched the documentary called "The Bridge" and gave it *** out of ****. It's a very up close and personal documentary about folks who jump off the Golden Gate Bridge. There is footage of about eight jumps cut with interviews with friends and family. It's odd cos you have these horrific jumps cut with gorgeous shots of San Francisco and the bridge, which is one of the most beloved landmarks in the US. Very moving and very disturbing film.
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
Yesterday I watched Old School for the first time in ages.So funny. I forgot how endlessly quotable that movie is.
After that I watched the first half of Clerks 2, right up to the end of the Pillow Pants scene.
And last night I caught a late show of Fantastic Four 2. Good, fun stuff.

Laurier Professor Chris Alcantara shortlisted for John McMenemy Prize
May 22/13
Chris Alcantara, associate professor of Political Science, was shortlisted for the 2013 John McMenemy Prize for his article, Mixing Politics and Business in the Canadian Arctic: Inuit Corporate Governance in Nunavik and the Inuvialuit Settlement Region.
The John McMenemy Prize, awarded by the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA) and the Société québécoise de science politique, recognizes the best article published in the Canadian Journal of Political Science.
Alcantara co-wrote his article with Gary N. Wilson, an associate professor at the University of Northern British Columbia.
Wilson and Alcantaras article analyzes the role of Inuit economic development corporations (IEDCs) in Nunavik, Northern Quebec, and the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, Northwest Territories, over the last several decades. They argue that the corporate-led governance approach of IEDCs has allowed the Inuit to develop the economic and political capacity necessary to implement formal self-government structures and arrangements, which differs from existing assumptions about the nature of the relationship between Aboriginal peoples and the Canadian state.
Surprisingly, although neither the Inuvialuit or the Inuit residents of Nunavik have signed a self-government agreement, they both enjoy a form of self-government which we call Inuit Corporate Governance, says Alcantara. This model, which embraces and recognizes the value of liberal-capitalist structures and practices, has benefited the Inuit communities and members immensely, and so our paper develops and explores this new concept, challenging a large body of scholarship that insists that capitalism is inherently bad and colonial for Indigenous peoples.
Alcantara has received a number of awards for his scholarship, including winning the J.E. Hodgetts Award for best article in English appearing in Canadian Public Administration, being a finalist for the Donner Prize for the best book on Canadian Public Policy, and winning the David Watson Memorial Trust and Award for a paper published in the Queens Law Journal.
The 2013 John McMenemy prize recipient(s) will be announced June 5 at the Annual Conference of the CPSA in Victoria, British Columbia.
About the John McMenemy Prize
The John McMenemy Prize was established in honour of Wilfrid Laurier University Professor John McMenemy, who between 1977 and 2004 contributed greatly to the success of the Canadian Journal of Political Science, a quarterly journal distributed to 2,000 scholars and institutions around the world. The annual jury normally consists of the two co-editors of the Journal and one member of the CPSA Board of Directors.

You're looking at tile and want a quick reference for how many square feet you might need. What to do? Consider these common measurements and tile design tips:
Kitchen Backsplash: Usually around 18" high but lengths vary greatly. An average kitchen splash length is 10-20 lineal feet = 15-30 square feet of space to be tiled.
Tub Surround: For a standard tub, the wall lengths are usually 36", 60", 36" = 11 lineal feet x 6' or 7' wall height (approx) = 66-77 square feet of tile needed.
Wainscot: Tile wainscoting is a great look, but what height should it be? For the best possible result, never cut the wall in half. This is one of the most important wainscot tips. If the wall is 8' high, you want the total wainscot height below or above 48". Consider 36", 42"or 54" from the floor to the top of the wainscoting.
Border: If you're looking for a horizontal border or decorative stripe, take the lineal measurements given above. What about the height to place it at? That's personal preference. At the top of wainscoting is good (not to exceed the total height listed above) or in a shower, 5' is a great height. It doesn't interfere with the plumbing locations yet is near eye level. For a unique and more contemporary look, place the border vertically and run the border from floor (or tub) to ceiling.
Fireplace: Designs vary, but you should consider whether you are tiling just the face of the fireplace, between a wood mantle and the firebox, or all the way around a fireplace, including the hearth and sides. Check out this fireplace for example: a total of 14 square feet (in 1x1, 1x2 and 2x4) of laNeva tile #90 Oregano.
Still can't decide what would look best? Call or email firstname.lastname@example.com and we'd be thrilled to provide a phone consultation and custom layout options for you, including lots of tips on how to make your tile project a complete showstopper! We've been designing dynamic tile environments for... well, forever! (Okay, it's been about 13 years.)

Special to TC Media
For over 60 years, Cape Breton hockey players have made an impact in the Newfoundland Senior Hockey League.
In fact, the latest crop of Cape Bretoners playing in this province could be considered the third or fourth wave from that Nova Scotia island to chart a course in what some consider today the hottest senior hockey market in the entire country. Newfoundland senior hockey fills the void in Harbour Grace, Clarenville, Gander Grand Falls-Windsor and Deer Lake, where hundreds flock to arenas on weekends to watch the only game in town.
For three decades, fans were treated to Cape Bretoners like former NHL tough guy Kevin Morrison, Bruce Campbell and ex-Ontario Hockey League junior stars Jack MacKeigan and John Hanna, among others.
The trail from Cape Breton to Newfoundland was blazed by a quartet of Buchans-bound Nova Scotians, namely Hughie Wadden, Frank Walker, Frank Finlayson and Mort Verbiski, legendary names within Newfoundland senior hockey circles.
Another, Neil Amadio, played on and coached a number of provincial championship teams in Newfoundland.
This past hockey season, three Cape Bretoners starred in the revamped Newfoundland Senior Hockey League — Ryan Desrosiers (New Waterford) of the Clarenville Caribous, and both Brett Morrison and Ryan Sparling (Sydney) of the Western Royals.
Desrosiers, who finished third in league scoring this season with 34 points in 24 games, reached the Herder Memorial Trophy final before the defending champion Caribous were swept in four straight games by the Conception Bay North CeeBee Stars. He's a three-year veteran of the provincial senior league, starting with the now-defunct Deer Lake Red Wings.
"I was finishing up my degree in kinesiology and physical education, and flying back and forth on weekends to Deer Lake," Desrosiers recalls. "I got the idea to play senior hockey in Newfoundland from some players who put me in contact with the right people."
Last year, the Desrosiers skated in the Allan Cup Canadian senior hockey championship in Lloydminster, Sask., as a pickup player with the Grand Falls-Windsor Cataracts, and will be going to the event hosted this year in Bentley, Alta., as a member of the Caribous, along with Morrison, who will be going as an affiliate player.
For Morrison and Sparling, the NHL lockout played a role in their decision to play east of Nova Scotia.
"I was thinking about playing pro (in the ECHL), but it just did not seem to be the best time to do it with players being bumped down the line because of the lockout," said Morrison, who played four years in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League before spending four seasons with St. Francis Xavier of the Atlantic intercollegiate circuit.
"I thought the Newfoundland senior league was a good calibre league with a lot of players who had college, minor pro, junior A and major junior experience."
Like Morrison, Sparling also toiled four seasons in the QMJHL before attending St. FX for one year and spending two winters in the Central Hockey League.
"The league is somewhere between junior A and university, I would think," said Sparling, of the Newfoundland senior league.
"I'm not sure where I will play next year," he said. "Right now, I'm gearing up to head to Alberta for work in the oil fields."
As for how long he continues to skate, Desrosiers hopes for a career that lasts well into the future. He's currently teaching school in the Clarenville area.
"I love Newfoundland, and I'm staying," he said.
"Before I got off the plane in Deer Lake a few years ago, I had never been to the island before. I plan to stay here and continue playing until they kick me out."
Sixty years later, nobody has found a way to get rid of Hughie Wadden.
The Telegram ranked the forward the second-best import ever — behind another Hall of Famer, the late Frank 'Danky' Dorrington of New Glasgow — in a feature published 20 years ago.
This fall will mark the 60th anniversary of the arrival of the Port Morien, N.S., native to Buchans, the one-time mining community in central Newfoundland.
Wadden came to play hockey with the legendary Miners in 1953, then winners of three consecutive provincial crowns from 1949-52. Buchans has not played in the league since the late 1960s.
"It was Oct. 29, 1953," Wadden, 80, said recently. "I remember the date because in those days, you had to be there before Nov. 1 or you would not be allowed to play."
The game conditions and travel were more primitive than today, Wadden explained.
"It was a day's travel by train to St. John's to play in there," Wadden said. "We didn't have our own stadium in Buchans until 1960, and there was no road out of the community at all until 1956. Before the stadium was built, we played our games in an ore shed on natural ice."
Wadden played junior hockey with the Glace Bay Miners before moving to Buchans.
"Larry Barrowman owned an intermediate team in the area and he asked me if I wanted to come play some exhibition games in Buchans, and I did," Wadden said.
"The next year, I got a call from Buchans asking if I wanted to go over there and play, so I did."
Wadden took a trade as a mining surveyor, married a local woman and remained in the community for a lifetime.
"The company paid for everything," he said. "There were some others who came from Cape Breton to Buchans. I guess I blazed a trail for them."

This project engages students in the science and engineering processes used by NASA astrobiologists as they explore our Solar System and try to answer the compelling question, "Are we Alone?" Students will identify science mission goals and select... (View More) an astrobiologically-significant target of interest: Mars, Europa, Enceladus or Titan. Students will then design their mission to this target in search of their chosen biosignature(s). Students will encounter the same considerations and challenges facing NASA scientists and engineers as they search for life in our Solar System. Students will need to balance the return of their science data with engineering limitations such as power, mass and budget. Risk factors play a role and will add to the excitement in this interactive science and engineering activity. Astrobiobound! will help students see how science and systems engineering are integrated to achieve a focused scientific goal. Includes an alignment document for Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Common Core State Standards. (View Less)

I used to blog every day, now it seems I'm about at once a year. But there's reason to believe I might pick up the pace again...
I've been tuning out the world as much as I can, largely so that I can use whatever free time I have to finish up my thesis. The good news is, it's almost done, and I now have a reasonably coherent complete draft. Have a look.
I'll be presenting some of this work at CAD '09 in Reno on Jun 11.
Lots of people like Inconsolata, and I've been getting quite a bit more email about it since that article came out.
I've been doing minor tweaks (such as making l and 1 more distinct), and now consider it pretty close to done. There are a batch of suggested changes people have sent as feedback. Some will be simple (adding endash and emdash glyphs) but others will take some more thinking.

Prince Philip
Prince Philip has been the official consort to Queen Elizabeth II since her ascension to throne in 1952. Born into the royal family of Greece, Philip Mountbatten made a name for himself in Great Britain as a fast-rising young officer in the Royal Navy during World War II. After the war he became engaged to Princess Elizabeth and they were married on 20 November 1947. (He was created Duke of Edinburgh and his official title, by the queen's decree, is The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.) Beyond his royal duties as the queen's companion, Prince Philip became known as a keen outdoorsman and conservationist; in 1961 he co-founded and became the first president of the World Wildlife Fund. An avid sportsman, he passed his love of polo on to his son Prince Charles. Over the years The Duke of Edinburgh also developed a reputation for blunt and impolitic public quips, such as his 1966 comment that "British women can't cook." He and Queen Elizabeth have four children: Charles (b. 1948), Anne (b. 1950), Andrew (b. 1960) and Edward (b. 1964); as the eldest, Prince Charles is heir to the throne.
Prince Philip was the son of Prince Andrew of Greece; he later adopted the family name of Mountbatten from his mother's side… Both Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth are great-great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria; Philip is descended from Victoria through his mother's side of the family… Like Victoria's husband Prince Albert, Philip has served as the Chancellor of Cambridge University… Prince Philip was played by James Cromwell in the 2006 movie The Queen; Helen Mirren played Elizabeth II.

- Description
Here is a major intersection in the arctic village of Selawik Alaska.
Selawik, an Inupiat village with a population of about 1000 people, is located right on the Arctic Circle in Alaska's Northwest Arctic Borough. Young people attend pre-kindergarden to grade 12 at the Selawik School. School sports and school-sponsored events are well attended in the villages. Wrestling and basketball are especially popular.
Most of the people here are Inupiat, and many of them practice subsistence lifestyles. It is late summer and the long days of summer are ending as the tundra dons its fall colors. The blueberries are getting too soft to pick, and we will soon be harvesting the cranberries. People are putting up their meat staples: caribou and moose. There are nets for salmon across the rivers at the fishing camps. Windmills supply power to this village which is off any major power grid. Electricity is also generated by burning fossil fuels. With no roads or power lines connecting our villages, they must remain quite self-sufficient despite the harsh environment.
Among its many charms, perhaps the most fascinating is that Selawik is a village without paved roads. The only strip of gravel road that I know of is about two tenths of a mile long and runs between the clinic and the wind farm. The rest of the community is connected by board roads like these. In summer, if you step off of the boards, you will sink into the tundra, or in some places, you will find yourself shin deep in the swamp. Winter solves the problem nicely as frozen ground connects everything, and snow-mobiles can go just about anywhere. This intersection is a lot quieter because we don't use the bridges when the rivers are frozen.
This 4-way intersection is located just before the entrance to the Rainbow Bridge. The board road is used by pedestrians, and ATV's, and is showing serious signs of wear and tear. The patches and gaps in the road have become serious hazards.
On the right side of this panorama is a glimpse of the new board road, which is higher and wider than the old road. The boards of the new road are placed longitudinally, not across the road like the roads to this intersection. It will be interesting to see how the new design works.
Along side the board roads are the utility pipes, power poles and some of the buildings where the people of Selawik live and work. In the vegetation you will see some cast off items from years and maybe decades past. Have a look around to get a glimpse of life in a northern Alaskan village.

Focus on Economic Data: U.S. Employment and the Unemployment Rate, April 2013
Each month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) releases data from the monthly "Household Survey" conducted by the Bureau of the Census, providing a comprehensive body of information on the employment and unemployment experience of the U.S. population, classified by age, sex, race, and a variety of other characteristics.
The BLS also conducts the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program, surveying about 150,000 businesses and government agencies, representing approximately 390,000 individual work sites, in order to provide detailed industry data on employment, hours, and earnings of workers on nonfarm payrolls.
The BLS compiles information from these sources and announces the monthly "Employment Situation," reporting the current U.S. employment and unemployment data estimates. The monthly announcement reports employment data from the previous full month.
This lesson is about the May 7, 2010, BLS announcement, "Employment Situation: April 2010." This lesson will also look at the recent history of employment and unemployment data.
- Review the most recently reported U.S. employment and unemployment data.
- Determine the changes in U.S. employment and unemployment from the past month and year.
- Determine the factors that have influenced the change in the U.S. unemployment rate.
- Explain the implications of the employment and unemployment data for individuals, population groups, and the U.S. economy.
Employment and Unemployment in April, 2013
To better understand the health of the U.S. labor markets and the impact of persistently high unemployment on the U.S. economy, take a quick look at the basic U.S. labor market data for April, 2013. See Figure 1, "U.S. Labor Market Data, April 2013," below.
Look at the unemployment data in Figure 1, above. The U.S. unemployment rate decreased again in April by 0.1 percent, falling 0.6 percentage point since April, 2013. The number of unemployed has dropped by 859,000 in the past year. Are we on the road to a "jobs recovery" since the recession?
In November, 2007, total employment in the U.S. (Current Population Survey) was 146,595,000 jobs. By December, 2009, that number dropped to 138,025. That was a loss of 8,570,000 jobs in the recession. The BLS reported a total of 143,579,000 U.S. jobs in April, 2013. That means the U.S. is still 3 million jobs behind the high of November, 2007.
Note: The BLS also revised the jobs data for the past two months, announcing that the U.S. economy generated 332,000 jobs in February (reported only 268,000 in April) and 138,000 in March, 50,000 more than the reported 88,000 increase.
Figure 2, below, provides more April 2103 unemployment data by ethnic groups and education levels.
Students: Given information about employment and unemployment at some time, can you determine the unemployment rate?
Take a look at more of the April, 2013, employment and unemployment report and decide for yourself.
The Employment Report – April 2013
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Released: May 1, 2013
"Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 165,000 in April, and the unemployment rate was little changed at 7.5 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment increased in professional and business services, food services and drinking places, retail trade, and health care."
Note: Unless otherwise cited, the data in this lesson is from the May 3, 2013, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics "Employment Situation - April 2013" news release.
Many economists agree that it takes over 200,000 new jobs each month just to keep pace with the normal growth of the population and labor force. If this generalization is true, the economy experienced a net gain in April, 2013. Why, then, did the unemployment rate decrease by just 0.1 percent? Look again at the data in Figure 1. What happened to the population, the size of the labor force, and the number of unemployed?
Remember, the unemployment rate is the number of unemployed as a percentage of the total civilian labor force. In April, 2013, with 165,000 new jobs, the number of unemployed decreased by just 83,000.. The size of the labor force decreased by 31,000. The result - a slight drop in the unemployment rate, rounded to 0.1.
In April, the U.S. labor force participation rate was 63.3 percent, a drop from 63.6 percent a year ago and participation rates over 70 percent in the late 1990s. For a history of the labor force participation rate, go to: data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS11300000
Students: What do you think about these employment and unemployment numbers. Are they "good news" - lower unemployment rate, or "bad news" - a smaller percentage of the labor force is working?
How might the numbers mean different things in different contexts or when compared to other numbers?
When the labor force decreases, the unemployment rate can also decreases as people become more pessimistic about finding jobs and become "discouraged workers" leaving the labor force. When these people start looking for employment, they will, again, be counted as "unemployed."
Figure 3, below, shows the monthly U.S. unemployment rates from 1990 through April, 2013. Note recent high monthly unemployment rate of 10.1 percent in October, 2009 and the most recent low unemployment rate of 4.4 percent in May, 2007.
Students: Do you see the "business cycles" of the economy illustrated by the unemployment rates over time?
For more complete labor market data, as of April, 2012, go the these Tables from the May 4, 2012, BLS employment and unemployment news release.
- Employment Situation Summary Table A. Household data, seasonally adjusted
- Employment Situation Summary Table B. Establishment data, seasonally adjusted
Students: You should be able to identify the recent business cycle as you look at the recent history of unemployment rate data.See Figure 3, above.
Remember, this is the "non-institutionalized civilian population." Those in institutions (prison, mental facilities, etc.) and the military are not included. This means that about 63.3 percent of the total population was counted as in the "labor force" in April. 89,936,00 people in the U.S., were not in the labor force for a variety of reasons.
The first data point in determining the unemployment rate is the size of the labor force. The unemployment rate is the percentage of the labor force that is unemployed. In April, 2013,11,659,000 people were unemployed, a decrease of 83,000 from the previous month.
11,659,000 divided by 155,238 (labor force) equals 7.51 percent – when rounded to nearest tenth of a point - the reported unemployment rate of 7.5 percent.
Key Labor Market Definitions
As a reminder, the following are the definitions of the key categories used to report employment and unemployment data from the BLS "Employment Report." These definitions are from the BLS "Glossary."
Civilian non-institutionalized population: Included are persons 16 years of age and older residing in the 50 States and the District of Columbia who are not inmates of institutions (for example, penal and mental facilities, homes for the aged), and who are not on active duty in the Armed Forces.
Civilian labor force: The labor force includes all persons classified as employed or unemployed (16 and over, non-institutionalized).
Labor force participation rate: The labor force as a percent of the civilian non-institutional population.
Employed Persons: Persons 16 years and over in the civilian non-institutional population who, during the reference week, (a) did any work at all (at least 1 hour) as paid employees; worked in their own business, profession, or on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise operated by a member of the family (plus those temporarily absent from employment.)
Employment-population ratio: The proportion of the civilian non-institutional population aged 16 years and over that is employed.
Unemployed: Persons aged 16 years and older who had no employment during the reference week, were available for work, except for temporary illness, and had made specific efforts to find employment sometime during the 4 week period ending with the reference week. Persons who were waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off need not have been looking for work to be classified as unemployed.
Unemployment rate: The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed as a percent of the labor force.
Not in labor force: Includes persons aged 16 years and older in the civilian non-institutional population who are neither employed nor unemployed in accordance with the definitions contained in this glossary. Information is collected on their desire for and availability for work, job search activity in the prior year, and reasons for not currently searching.
- Persons who currently want a job: Persons who want a job, have searched for work during the prior 12 months, and were available to take a job during the reference week, but had not looked for work in the past 4 weeks.
Unemployment by Demographic Groups
As summarized in Figure 2, above, the BLS also reports the unemployment rates for several demographic groups, including race/ethnicity and educational attainment. Go to the May 3, 2013 press release and scroll down to Table A.
Gender, Age, and Ethnicity
Look at the section of the table on the unemployment rates for "Adult men, Adult women, Teenagers, White, Black/African American, Asian, and Hispanic/Latino Ethnicity."
Students: Do you notice any patterns in this data?
Unemployment continues to be unevenly distributed among racial/ethnic groups and age levels. Young workers are more than twice as likely to be unemployed than workers over 24 years of age. The unemployment rate for teenagers is very high. Black/African American unemployment significantly exceeds other racial/ethnic demographic groups.
Educational Attainment
Look again at Table A, specifically at the section about educational attainment (Less than a high school diploma, High school diploma, Some college/associate degree, Bachelor's degree).
Students: Do you notice any patterns in this data?
Education is a strong indicator of potential for unemployment. There is a clear relationship between educational attainment and unemployment rates. The more education you have, the less chance of unemployment - on average. What is a high school diploma worth? You will make more income, for sure (on average), but also a greatly decreased risk of unemployment.
Students: Take a look at the BLS web page: Education Pays . Do you see any patterns?
Employment - Establishment Survey Data
"Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 165,000 in April, with job gains in professional and business services, food services and drinking places, retail trade, and health care. Over the prior 12 months, employment growth averaged 169,000 per month."
Job Gains by Industry
- Retail trade employment increased by 29,300.
- Professional and business services employment increased by 73,000.
- Education and health care services employment increased by 28,000.
- Leisure and hospitality employment increased by 43,000.
- Financial activities employment increased by 9,000.
- Transportation and warehousing employment increased by 4,200.
- Financial services employment increased by 9,000.
Job Losses by Industry
- Construction employment decreased by 6,000.
- Federal/state/local government employment decreased by 11,000.
- Information services employment decreased by 9,000
- Mining and logging employment decreased by 3,000
- Manufacturing employment did not change.
For more details about employment by industry group, go to: www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/empsit_05032013.htm
Students: Take a look at industries that interest you as a future occupation.
Another good source of industry information is the BLS "Occupational Outlook Handbook." www.bls.gov/oco/ . Among other careers, you can learn about a career as an economist.
In April, 2013, the U.S. unemployment rate decreased to 7.5 percent. Job growth of 165,000 in April was slightly less than the average monthly growth for the past year. Slightly fewer people had given-up looking for work and/or were otherwise not counted as employed or unemployed. in April The size of the labor force increased by 210,000 The recent history of changes in the labor force, employment and unemployment is somewhat erratic - possibly reflecting much uncertainty in the economy.
- Historical Changes in Employment
- Access to historical data for the "B" tables of the Employment Situation News Release
U.S. economic growth, as measured by real GDP growth, increased moderately in the first quarter of 2013, after very slow growth in the fourth quarter of 2012. Recent economic growth has not resulted in the number of jobs needed for a classic economic recovery. Many economists anticipate that, even though jobs growth may continue, the unemployment rate may remain stubbornly high for some time.
Students: What do you think? How long will it take for a real jobs recovery?
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes a variety of reports on current issues in labor markets and labor market data. The April, 2009, online edition of "Issues in Labor Statistics" included a report called, "Ranks of Discouraged Workers and Others Marginally Attached to the Labor Force Rise During Recession ." This report addressed the long-standing issue of the importance of including discouraged and marginally attached workers in determining the real level of unemployment.
Read the report. Summarize the arguments for including discouraged and marginally attached workers in the labor force and the officially reported unemployment rate. Should the discouraged or marginally attached workers be counted as unemployed? What does the increase in the number of discouraged and marginally attached workers mean for our economy?
Students: Although the specific data in this BLS report is outdated (2008-2009), the explanation of the concepts of marginally attached and discouraged workers is still very appropriate.

Sometimes the shortest engagements yield the prettiest weddings. And this next wedding, sent into us by J Morgan Flowers proves just that. Pay close attention my friends because this gorgeous and intimate penthouse wedding for 10 was planned in just two weeks! We can't help but fall fast in love with this romantic and spontaneous display of love. Join us in the gallery for even more.
From J Morgan Flowers… Eun planned her wedding in two weeks. Yes, you read that right — two weeks! After a whirlwind romance with Daniel and a ring on her finger, Eun called her family in Korea, and a wedding date was set! She booked the penthouse at The Soho House in South Beach as her wedding venue because it was the perfect space to hold her and her 10 guests. With Daniel's Chinese roots, they kept with tradition and did a tea ceremony to honor the parents.
The ceremony was held with just the ocean view as a backdrop and those closest to them to witness. The table for the celebration dinner was adorned with three taller vases and topped with a lush, modern arrangement of hydrangeas, roses and lilies. The base was set with a collection of vases of various sizes, each full with lush florals and candles in between. Each napkin was adorned with a yellow rose to welcome the guests to this special occasion.
We wish Eun and Daniel a lifetime of love, laughter and happiness as they start out on the journey of husband and wife.

Featured Story
History of Reunions wear on display through Jan. 30
Posted May 30, 2006; 08:00 a.m.
"Going Back in Orange and Black," an exhibition at the Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library,
highlights the unique wardrobes of Princeton's Reunions from the 19th
century to the present. The exhibition will run through Tuesday, Jan. 30, in the library's Wiess Lounge.
The exhibition conveys the distinctive character and spirit of Reunions through a display of vibrant costumes and accoutrements. Changes in Reunions fashion and accessories over time are evident in the array of fabrics, patterns and forms on view. The exhibition also reveals the evolving role of women, both wives of alumni and graduates, and the participation of children in Reunions festivities.
Culled from the Mudd Library's vast collection of Reunions-related memorabilia, items featured in the exhibition include Adlai Stevenson's class of 1922 25th Reunion class jacket and pins and ribbons dating to the class of 1860's 40th Reunion. Among the unique and lesser-seen Reunions-wear are genuine tiger claws, which the members of the Society of the Claw -- begun by the class of 1894 -- used as tokens to encourage alumni to return to campus every year. Society members pledged to attend Princeton Reunions annually and received tiger claw fobs for their watch chains to remind them of their pledge.
Other displays include ladies' orange satin scent bags from the late 19th century, a child's orange- and black-striped class of 1911 Reunion jacket and many photographs of alumni at Reunions, including John Foster Dulles (class of 1908), Jimmy Stewart (class of 1932) and Brooke Shields (class of 1987).
A portion of the exhibition honors the anniversary classes of 1956 and 1981, which mark their 50th and 25th anniversaries, respectively, this spring.

I'm sure there was a post about this web series, but I figured I would ressurect the buzz as it were. Now this flash series came out right after The Phantom Menace, however with the addition of Quentin Terrintino's Pulp Fiction into the Star Wars universe, It's very funny,however I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS SERIES TO ANYONE WHO IS NOT OLD ENOUGH TO SEE AN 'R' RATED FILM. Now originally this was soley featured on the now defunct website pulpphantom.com. I remembered the series one day out of the blue, and typed PULP PHANTOM into the Yahoo! Search Engine, and came up with a lot of hits I tried th first, and there they were, all 18 prts of he series, presented as they originally appeared with the Maul/Fett Border and the Amidala 13 cent Pulp Fiction cover. I highly reccmend this series to Star Wars and Pulp Fiction fans alike, you will not be dissapointed, if you have seen it before re-visit it, It's still s greatas it always has ben and hopfully will be!
So without further ado, the link:

Pros: Interesting sound, easy Bluetooth setup, comfortable in cool climates
Cons: Interesting sound, sweaty ears in hot climates
I recently got the 1RBT because I had a couple of Sony vouchers, and I have to say, while I am still uncertain of it's full retail price, I do really love this pair of headphones. The retail price is $498 Singapore Dollars.
My experience with headphones were on the lower-end Grados and AKGs. With a total listening time of less then 10 hours; electronic music sounds good in general, with a nice not overly pronounced bass like the XB series, but can be via equalizer settings. With rock music, comprising of guitars, bass, drums, keyboard and vocals, each instrument are defined, but somehow they all seem to want you to focus on them, which can then lead to fatigue. While defined, they also seem somewhat... muddy, if that makes sense. They just lack the "sparkle" like you would hear in a set of Grados. Perhaps this will change as it burns in. I do not get this problem with electronic music. The headphones boasts about an amplifier and sound engine, but I'm quite sure these are not in use when plugged in via cable, this is because, once a cable is plugged in, it will automatically turn off, and will not turn on if a cable is already in.
2-week update: After about 2 weeks, it seemed that the sound has become more... smooth. Much less fatigue, bass thumps with enough impact but yet doesn't drown out everything else, and it sounds great no matter the volume level, an issue I noticed with the AKGs I had.
Bluetooth Sound
There is a noticeable difference between wired and Bluetooth, but the Bluetooth's limitations do get more pronounced based on various genres of the music. Electronic music generally is not affected too much unless you cranked the bass up via equalizer for example. But it's hard to describe the effect Bluetooth has on the music, it sounds as if there's a layer of static affected a specific range of frequencies, so it isn't that noticeable, but at the same time, it IS there, so you end up trying to find it (and do) when you get used to it.
2-week update: Surprisingly, the headphone burn-in time did affect Bluetooth sound as well, or perhaps I got used to the static sound I was talking about; I used it with BT more then I do so with it plugged in. The one thing I would like to point out is that I have no issues with skipping tracks and the like. It is paired with a Nexus 4 most of the time.
Like many, I found that these are one of the most comfortable over-ear headphones I've ever gotten onto my head. But like have also said, it can get quite hot. And coming from a tropical climate, "quite hot" translates to "sickeningly hot and sweaty" if you find yourself without air-conditioning or just walking in the sun for a prolonged period of time. That aside, this pair of headphones seem to automatically "fit". Perhaps you might need to push it back or forth based on your own personal preferences, but it sounds the same, regardless.
Bluetooth Functionality
It can't be easier to pair up the headphones to a device, especially if your device in question is a phone with NFC capabilities. With Bluetooth, I got a lot more control then I thought I would have. Play/pause, previous/next track, rewind/fast forward and volume. The mic can be used for calls, and having used it twice, it "works", but not well in noisy places.
Build Quality
Many have pointed out that most of the parts are plastic. Yes, they are. But at the same time, they feel extremely sturdy. Don't toss it around of course, but with most parts made of matte rigid plastic, you can be sure that it *could* take a few knocks and is probably more scratch resistant then those glossy, fingerprint-prone boutique headphones. Being made mostly out of plastic also ensures it's light, an important factor for those who are always on the move. Cable input jacks are covered with a hard but somewhat flexible rubber/plastic cover then snaps back into place. The only issue here is that the cable input itself does not have a locking mechanism, which means that anything more then a light tug would have it unplugged. It uses your standard mini-USB input for charging; that's great, as by now, unless you are a staunch Mac user, you would have at least 20 lying around in various places in your house/office.

In their overwhelming endorsement for Broward County Commissioner Dale Holness, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel noted "he has a track record of rolling up his sleeves and finding solutions."
That track record is well documented in his six years of public service as a Lauderhill City Commissioner.
His solutions, as stated when sworn in to office to represent District 9 are broad:
Commissioner Holness' past record of accomplishment paves the way for his future goals in District 9. He believes that success builds on success and achievements realized in one city can be duplicated to compliment and enhance the unique needs and desires of other cities.
As a real estate agent and mortgage broker, Commissioner Holness will continue to use his expertise in the trade to create affordable housing and financing opportunities. In Lauderhill, he worked with city staff to increase home ownership by revamping the Affordable Housing Down-payment Assistance Program, hired grant writers to bring in $30-million in additional housing revenue and worked to increase homestead exemptions for senior citizens.
In 2004, he founded The Lauderhill Regional Chamber of Commerce which now includes over 310 businesses and is one of the most diverse Chambers in Broward County.
Partnerships with organizations such as WorkForce One resulted in the successful employment of hundreds of people and increased enrollment in vocational trades and colleges.
Holness' innovative ideas led to the formation of Sister City International with various international cities, resulting in professional development for residents and increasing trading opportunities. These cities include Suzano, Sao Paolo, Brazil; Trelawny, Jamaica; and Petion-Ville, Haiti.
In the area of education, Commissioner Holness took the initiative to introduce KAPOW (Kids and the Power of Work) at four Broward Elementary Schools reaching well over 160 students. He is not only an advocate for KAPOW, but he volunteers his time to work hands-on with the participants. Additional elementary schools have been slated to participate in this program. Holness organized a partnership with Broward Community College to provide Continuing Education Courses & Programs such as College Prep and Life Success Skills.
Holness is active in many civic organizations, including serving as President of the Sister City International; Vice Chair, Fort Lauderdale Broward County Enterprise Zone; Board Member, Lauderhill Chamber of Commerce; Life Member, NAACP; Board Member, 100 Black Men–Greater Fort Lauderdale Chapter; Board Member, Community Family Center; member of the Haitian American Leadership Org. and President, Royal Oaks Condominium Association. He is also very involved in youth development – a high priority for Commissioner Holness.

Don't you need a FL vacation? You could come organize me? Actually, I'm envious of everything organized and ready to go. Just awesome!!
"A woman is like a tea bag-you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water." Eleanor Roosevelt
Welcome! You did a great job organizing and furnishing your new space. I love working in a clean space where I can find everything. That is what I am doing now..........reorganizing after a rash of sewing projects. Next order of business is to organize my scraps by color and size.
That is beautiful...does it look like that all the time? I am jealous...
Wow, that room is beyond awesome. I'd love to have that lineup of vintage machines - do they all work?
Do you own ferrets or just sew for them? I've always thought they are totally cool little animals....
What a wonderful work/play space.
Nana of 1 E and 2 G's
wonderful room with so much space. Wish I had all that room. Love all your fabric too
Welcome!!! Great room.

Iron & Steel Preservation Conference
"Historic wrought iron and steel truss bridges that were fabricated between 1850 and 1950 are rapidly being replaced today with new concrete or steel bridges, primarily because of the lack of knowledge in the restoration of historic metals," explains Vern Mesler, Technical Careers Adjunct Faculty in welding. "We need to develop expertise in preserving the original materials by combining modern technology such as electric arc welding with historic methods like hot riveting." This conference will provide hands-on experience in those technologies.
Iron & Steel Preservation Conference March 5 and 6, 2012
Lansing Community College in Lansing, Michigan, is presenting the third annual Iron & Steel Preservation Conference. The Iron & Steel Preservation Conference is the only event of its kind, drawing a national audience of engineers, historic preservationists, craftsmen, contractors, blacksmiths and others interested in the restoration of historic metals. Lansing Community College has long been recognized as leader in industrial arts training and has emerged as a leader in historic preservation with a focus on historic metal structures. CEUs will be available to participants.

I heard somewhere that windows 9/blue wont have the start button either. I personally see this as a disappointment, the start screen is designed for touch screens not desktops.
Thoughts? Do you think this is a disappointment?
I don't want to sound stubborn, but I think I'm going to stay with Win7 for as long as a possibly can until new games and applications clease to function unless Microsoft makes non-awkward desktop OS before that happens.

Ramallah Revelations
> "MY FAVOURITE MOVIE is Life is Beautiful," Refaat Sabbah tells me. "I love
> the way the hero protects his son from the experience of the concentration
> camp. I try to protect my children from the horrors around us too," he adds
> with a gentle smile. "I notice my daughter doesn't draw guns and tanks."
> We are sitting in a covered porch in his modest home in a downtown Ramallah
> neighbourhood. The night before, Israeli troops nearly destroyed Yasser
> Arafat's compound nearby. Refaat and his wife Soreida were up all night. The
> shelling began at 2 a.m. and continued until 6 a.m. The children -- a girl,
> nine, and a boy, four, slept through it. Not so the little girl next door,
> who has been crying ever since.
> This is life in Ramallah, the administrative capital of the Palestinian
> territories. Refaat is the founder and head of the Teacher Creativity Center
> here, and Soreida works with women's groups. They are intelligent, charming,
> and passionate about life. Like many activists I meet here, they are
> remarkably without hatred or bitterness. Sabbah tells me that he tries to
> avoid crossing the checkpoints that surround Ramallah so that he won't get
> too angry with the Israelis.
> I am in Palestine. Even the term makes me a little uncomfortable -- I am
> Jewish, born and bred. I went to Hebrew school. My first battle for equality
> was to insist on having a bat mitzvah in my 13th year: in those days, only
> boys had the coming-of-age ceremony. My father was a major fundraiser for
> the United Jewish Appeal, with most of the money going to Israel. Israel is
> supposed to be my homeland.
> I went to the Palestinian territories recently as part of a fact-finding
> trip organized by Alternatives, a Montreal-based organization with a history
> of 20 years of work with groups in Israel and Palestine. I accepted the
> invitation because I had become increasingly disturbed by the Israeli
> occupation of the territories, and the uncritical support for Israel by
> Canada's organized Jewish community.
> What I saw was both deeply disturbing and strangely inspiring. The
> inspiration came from people I met on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian
> divide. I was already aware of the brave people of the Israeli peace
> movement who stand up against the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land,
> land that Israel agreed to withdraw from under the Oslo accords. What I
> didn't know was that there is a strong, growing movement of activists in the
> Palestinian territories who call themselves the democratic opposition. Most
> work through the non-governmental organizations that provide what is left of
> social services in the Palestinian territories. Like Refaat and Soreida,
> these are compassionate people with a strong commitment to democracy,
> equality and peace. As one told me, "I only wish the Israelis realized that
> their best hope of security is a strong Palestinian state. The rest of the
> Arab world hates them, we don't -- we know them, they are our neighbours."
> While the outside media rarely mentions the democratic opposition, their
> popularity in Palestine is growing, and some plan to run for office in the
> coming elections early in the new year. The most prominent figure among the
> democratic opposition is Dr. Mustafa Barghouthi, president of the Union of
> Palestinian Medical Relief Committees. "What we are witnessing," he argues,
> "is an annexation of the West Bank -- the same process as in 1948 when the
> state of Israel was founded on previously Palestinian land. This is a war of
> settlements, and the ultimate goal is to annex the West Bank. The current
> struggle," he added, "will decide if there will be two independent states --
> Israel and Palestine -- or one apartheid state of Israel."
> Barghouthi's words have echoed in my head since my return to Canada, as the
> Israeli aggression has stepped up. While there, I saw the series of
> checkpoints as a new Berlin Wall in the making. Now, they're building the
> wall.
> Visiting the West Bank is a frustrating experience because of the
> checkpoints, while living there seems almost impossible. On the first day
> that we visited Ramallah, the checkpoint on the road linking the city with
> Jerusalem closed at about 4 p.m. The scene we observed while waiting for the
> bus to take us back to Jerusalem was not unusual. Palestinians working in
> Jerusalem and living in Ramallah couldn't get home, so frustration grew as
> the afternoon wore on. A few walked forward to speak with the guards, and no
> one would leave, despite orders to do so from the soldiers. Then, the
> soldiers fired tear gas to disperse them.
> A few boys, whom I had seen earlier gathering rocks, started throwing them
> at the soldiers. That's when the soldiers started shooting. People ran in
> all directions. "Come, come," one man yelled. He waved at us to take refuge
> behind a car parked nearby. We weren't frightened because it seemed
> impossible that they were using live ammunition -- but they were.
> As extraordinary as the experience was for us, it is a daily ritual here.
> According to Barghouthi, these checkpoint dramas are simply a method of
> harassing Palestinians, like the thousands of students at Birzeit University
> living in Ramallah who must cross a checkpoint twice -- there and back -- to
> get to school, walking more than a kilometre each way. The checkpoints
> divide the West Bank into 120 different areas. If you want to go from one
> area to the next, you cross a checkpoint. You never know if it will be open,
> and it's impossible to know how long you will wait. If you're sick, old or
> pregnant, you still wait. If you want to visit your aging parents in the
> next village, you need permission from the Israelis. "We cannot breathe,"
> one woman said, jammed against us in the crowd at a checkpoint. "We cannot
> work, or take care of our families. They have taken away our lives."
> In Canada, we hear much more about the horror of suicide bombings than about
> the killing of Palestinian civilians. According to the Palestinian Red
> Crescent Society, 1,599 Palestinians -- 85 percent of them civilians -- have
> been killed and 19,452 injured since September, 2000, when the second
> intifada began. In the same period, 563 Israelis have been killed and 3,545
> injured, according to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
> The suicide bombings, as terrible as they are, are not the reason for
> Israeli aggression in the Palestinian territories. The real reason is to
> protect ever-expanding Israeli settlements. But the bombings do provide a
> moral and political justification for the occupation. The Israeli peace
> movement that was so powerful only a few years ago is now isolated, with 70
> per cent of Israelis supporting the aggressive policies of Prime Minister
> Ariel Sharon.
> Adam Keller is a Jewish activist from the peace group Gush Shalom. "It is
> very difficult," he told us. "Like all Israelis, I am afraid of the suicide
> bombers. Every day we live this fear, never knowing if our families or we
> will be victims. But what makes me different is that while I believe they
> are wrong, I understand that this is the only way Palestinians feel they can
> fight back against the terrible injustice being inflicted on them by my
> government."
> The checkpoints, 24-hour curfews, mass arrests of adult males, rotating
> invasions, strafing and bulldozing of houses, occupations of cities and
> refugee camps, and refusal to allow Palestinians to work in or trade with
> Israel, are all justified by the attempt to stop suicide bombings. Now,
> they're building a wall around the West Bank. What next?
> My experience convinced me that Israeli aggression simply plants the seeds
> for more suicide bombings. Everywhere we went were posters of "martyrs,"
> both suicide bombers and young men posing with machine guns who were killed
> resisting the Israeli invasion last April. In one refugee camp, young boys
> wore photos of the "martyrs" in pendants around their necks -- like saints'
> medals. "I am not afraid of the Israelis," Refaat Sabbah told me. "I am
> afraid that violence is becoming a positive moral value in our society. And
> from that we will never recover."
> All the activists we met oppose the suicide bombings, both morally and
> politically. But they are frustrated that no one in the outside world asks
> why so many young people are desperate enough to blow themselves up. The
> week after our visit, a large number of Palestinian intellectuals and
> activists made a public statement condemning suicide bombing and calling on
> extremist Palestinian groups, like Hamas and Islamic Jihad, to stop
> recruiting young people for these acts of terror.
> The state of Israel is not in danger. The Palestinians have no army, and
> other Arab countries are not leaping to their defence. Only Israel has the
> power to stop the escalating violence. Surely memory is not so short -- and
> Israelis can remember when they were a people without their own land or an
> army to defend them, and with a strong, proud identity and history of
> resisting persecution. What struck me most in my visit was how similar are
> the Palestinians and the Jews. One man in East Jerusalem asked me: "If you
> are Jewish, why don't you support the Israelis?" I responded that I couldn't
> accept that my people, who suffered for so many centuries, could turn around
> and persecute another people. There is no justice in that -- and where there
> is no justice, there will be no peace.

The Open 4th was dog #9 Jimmy/Gary M.
Might want to also check the RJ, I'm not sure it was Tubb, it was reported to me the RJ went to #32 Moose/Smith.
There were no JAMs awarded in the Open.
Am callbacks to 3rd: (19 back to WB)
1, 8-13, 15-17, 19, 21, 24, 27-29, 31-33
Water blind was set up, then suspended after test dog due to rain moving into the area. The field where the trucks were parked is very wet and it was decided not to risk lots of stuck trucks. A wise move IMO. WB will commence in the morning with #32.
Bobby Lane
Ryan Brasseaux

Kenny Trott
not sure of Jams
Im unsure of which dogs placed by their respective pros.

How to make sweet and hot refrigerator curry pickles recipe.
One of my favorite afternoon snacks is something that is pretty simple. It can be grown in the garden and jarred. Extra Hot Cucumbers. They are virtually fat free and wake up your senses in the middle of the day!
Made with just a handful of on hand ingredients, these pickles are not too dilly, not too spicy, with a nice little kick. These rock on burgers!
Regular pickles just not spicy enough for you? Check out this recipe that takes advantage of a garden full of habañero peppers.
Use a Japanese slicer or mandoline to slice up a bumper crop of cucumbers to make these easy pickles!
My 80+ year old grandfather, the pickiest eater of our family, informed me that these pickles reminded him of his youth.

PREPARE/ENRICH is a customized couple assessment completed online that identifies a couple's strength and growth areas. It is one of the most widely used programs for premarital counseling and premarital education. It is also used for marriage counseling, marriage enrichment, and dating couples considering engagement. Based on a couple's assessment results, a trained facilitator provides 3-4 feedback sessions in which the facilitator helps the couple discuss and understand their results as they are taught proven relationship skills.
Over the last 30 years, the PREPARE/ENRICH relationship assessment has empowered and energized more than 3 million couples. We're the #1 relationship inventory and couples assessment tool.
There are several goals of the PREPARE/ENRICH Program. In order to achieve these goals there are exercises designed to help couples improve their relationship skills. The program helps couples:
What relationship areas are assessed by the Inventory?
Is the PREPARE/ENRICH Program valid and reliable?
An important strength of the PREPARE/ENRICH Inventory is their strong psychometric properties. High levels of reliability and validity have been found for each instrument, making them valuable tools for research as well as clinical use.
PREPARE has validity in that it discriminates premarital couples that get divorced from those that are happily married with about 80-85% accuracy. Reliability is high (alpha reliability of .80 - .85).
Who uses PREPARE/ENRICH?
The inventory has been utilized by over 100,000 trained clergy members, professional
counselors, mentors, and marriage educators throughout the U.S.
Over 3 million couples have taken a PREPARE/ENRICH inventory and worked through their results under the guidance of one of our trained facilitators.
