In last Sunday's series premiere of Fox's new cartoon, "Allen Gregory," the recently skinny Jonah Hill voices the title character, a pretentious and precocious 7 year-old forced to begin public school after his "super gay" dad, Richard DeLongpre (French Stewart), squanders their considerable life-savings on who knows what. What will his second-grade classmates think of a briefcase instead of a lunch box? A seersucker suit instead of cargo shorts? His entrance into public school, in a general pilot episode manner, allows the show to introduce the cast: Jeremy, his father's life partner slash man-toy (Nat Faxon); Principal Gottlieb (Renee Taylor), of whom Allen has some rather graphic fantasies; and Gina Winthrop (Leslie Mann), his exasperated teacher more, who Allen insists upon referring to by her first name. Throw in a dash of adopted Cambodian sister Julie (Joy Osmanski) and pepper with your usual gang of grade-schoolers and you got yourself a stew going. On paper, it has the potential to be one of the most forward-thinking, witty shows on television. Then why was it universally panned by critics? As this show is airing on the Fox network, it joins the formidably successful of its "animation domination." Allen Gregory is sandwiched between The Simpson's and Family Guy, and honestly, it seemed to fit right into the formula. Just like these other shows, we get generalizations of populations of people, from the rich and powerful to "the gays". We are immediately introduced to Richard – while he is verbally berating Jeremy in front of a house party full of their friends. (Awkward.) This first glance shows just how little Richard cares about his family and really only cares about what people think of him and his status. "The DeLongpre's have always had money. Who said anything about money problems?" Richard retorts, when asked by his partner why Richard must now, all of a sudden, get a job. Then we meet Julie, who was "plucked out of the desert or sea or something" and put into the virtual shopping cart that is adoption. While the other characters applaud Richard's charity toward this young, Cambodian "urchin," Julie is clearly not amused. In this way, the show lampoons the idea of Richard being the hero; saving Julie, worshipping Jeremy for his beauty, and molding Allen Gregory in his own likeness. (Because of his mini-Richard status, A.G. even gets to sit shotgun while Jeremy is cramped in the backseat. Although all parents show favor towards their children, this is probably a bit excessive.) While the first episode deals mostly with Allen Gregory and his first day at school, what we see in his home life reads like a generic gay stereotype from the point of view of a crotchety old man: Richard is just that—rich. He cares about his status in society more than love for his family – even adopting a child to Bono himself into chic-ness. (Apparently, nothing says gay stereotype like a little girl from the Orient.) He teaches his son – possibly just by osmosis and not actually on purpose – that being rude and trite and assertive to the point of aggressive is the only way to get what you want—and Jeremy is a perfect example. Jeremy is more like a pool boy in Richard's eyes. He is just eye candy. His stomach is like a "supple, leather drum." Jeremy has very valuable opinions and clearly has Allen Gregory and Richard's best interests at heart, but the show constantly overlooks him for much more extravagant and absurd ideas. For instance, while Jeremy is having a heart-to-heart with A.G. over his failed first day, we learn that he is actually a straight man. Five years ago, he had a loving wife and kids, but a "rich gay" basically stalked him and wouldn't rest until he got his trophy. You can see that Jeremy still longs for the life he left behind. The allusions to Jeremy not really being comfortable with Richard's sexual advances kinda let the cat out of the bag before he revealed it, but we do not yet know why he left his family. Although its relevance for the show is questionable, it does show that Richard is willing to do anything to get what he wants, especially buying people outright. Perhaps the show's creator is trying to say that gays can make any man want them, if they stalk/bribe them long enough, and that straight men are just dumb and lazy and greedy enough to do it. (So beware, straight men of Earth! You could be under the thumb of a scheming gay man right now and not even know it. ) And, I think this goes without saying, but what person allows a 7 year-old to drink Pinot? I mean, they're gay, not irresponsible. If any straight parent would do that on television, the FCC would have a field day. Is this how our country perceives the LGBTQ community? Flamboyant to the point of irritating? Loving to the point of smothering? Irresponsible egotistical maniacs? I am interested to see how all of the characters morph and how the writers continue to portray the stereotype-happy Richard with the much more muted Jeremy. As this is only the pilot episode – and many shows have improved considerably during the course of their run – time may resolve these characterization flaws. At one point during the pilot, a child in the background yelled out: "It Gets Better." As the message of the pilot boils down to "Be you, and it will all work out in the end," I hope for the same for this show. It really could get better.

Neuroscience Careers
Neuroscientists study the brain and its functions including memory, perception, action, language and conscious awareness, according to the Psychology Career Center. A relatively new field stemming back to the 1950s when early theories regarding brain functioning began to emerge, innovation in neuroscience was fueled by advancements in molecular biology.
This discipline truly began to take form when methods for analyzing behavioral-cognitive relationships were developed and combined with cellular neurobiological research. Today, neuroscience connects cognitive-behavioral outcomes with underlying neural systems.
With a solid foundation in the study of behavior and mental processes, our major in neuroscience will help you develop the practical skills to succeed through hands-on projects and research. A core curriculum is combined with the ability to tailor the major to suit your individual needs, preparing you for future success in

Elaine Cook and her boyfriend of 10 months went out last week for Valentine's Day, returned to her apartment and got in a fight.
She asked him to leave, but he wanted to end the argument. So he leaned in for a kiss. And that's when she bit his tongue off, prosecutors said.
Now the 51-year-old Cook, of the 9400 block of Lockwood in Skokie, is charged with aggravated domestic battery and was held Sunday in lieu of $100,000 bail.
"The whole thing makes me kinda sad," the victim who didn't want his identity revealed, told FOX 32 News. "In one day, I lost half a tongue and my girlfriend."
Assistant State's Attorney Eve Reilly said the couple went back to Cook's apartment after going out Friday and began to quarrel. Reilly said Cook's boyfriend went to put his shoes on after Cook asked him to leave.
"We weren't getting along very well," the man says. "But, I didn't think it would be this bad."
Then, the boyfriend said they should stop fighting and went in to kiss her. That's when Cook "bit off a large portion of his tongue."
"Yeah, I've done it before," the man says of the kiss and makeup technique. "We have arguments, and I come in and grab her, 'stop this,' try to kiss her. It's worked before and I thought it would work now."
Cook's boyfriend ran to a sink in the kitchen, Reilly said, and Cook followed and threw the tongue on a counter. The boyfriend put it in a bag of ice, Reilly said, and he and Cook's roommate called 911.
Elaine Cook's Facebook page shows the couple in happier times. She even posted a few months ago that, "he makes me smile every day." She now sits in jail, while her boyfriend focuses on getting better.
An ambulance took the boyfriend to Evanston Hospital, but doctors could not reattach the tongue because of an inadequate blood supply.
"My tongue is swollen like a rock," the man says. "There are also sutures in it right now, so it's not going to work out well."
The victim is recovering very slowly, but his speech is expected to get better and he should get feeling back in his tongue.
When asked if he planned on forgiving Cook, he said he's not sure if he wants to, but then said, "there is always room for that." He plans on talking to Cook at some point, for closure.

A 17-year-old boy has been charged in connection with a sexual assault of a Chicago State University student on Wednesday.

These are modified for different programmes in different regions, but we would expect as minimal outcomes an enhanced ability to:
- Articulate the value of nursing to health officials and others.
- Be effective contributors to quality health care.
- Contribute effectively to public sector and health reform in their country.
- Influence policy.
- Understand political impacts on the health system.
- Be visionary and strategic thinkers and planners.
- Manage change effectively.
- Prepare other nurses for top management roles in nursing and health services.
- Develop, implement and evaluate projects.
- Mentor others effectively.
- Participate in relevant networks.
The beneficiaries of better preparation of nurses for these roles are seen to be:
- LFC Benefits Public – better public health care and improved access to health services.
- Governments – more effective management of health services.
- Policy makers and managers – participation of well prepared nurse leaders, leading to better policy development.
- Health care teams – nurses with effective skills participating in and managing interdisciplinary teams.
- Other nurses – training, mentoring and other leadership development activities of programme participants.
- Participants themselves – improved skills and behaviours. In particular, they become motivated towards achievement in an environment of change. Increased involvement in health reform at national and local levels and improved capacity in project planning and implementation are among the tangible results.

We've built the world's most comprehensive career test. Our questionnaire measures over 180 traits to match you against 500+ careers. Our mission is to help you find your calling in life.Take the Sokanu Career Test
A nurse is someone who provides care to patients in a healthcare environment. This can encompass everything from a nurse giving booster shots at a pediatrician's office, to a surgical assistant who prepares instruments and assists during complex surgeries in a hospital operating room.
Many different specialities exist for a nurse, from working in the NICU with the tiniest of newborn patients, to geriatrics and palliative nursing for those at the end of their lives. For the ambitious nursing student that is looking to earn a high salary, there are specialized careers such as a registered anesthetist, who might expect to out-earn a good number of doctors. Many nurses really enjoy the difference they can make in a patient's life, and the rewards for saving a patient's life or greatly improving their day-to-day life by sharing some of their skills and knowledge are reasons why many people choose this profession.
Would you make a good nurse? Sokanu's free assessment reveals your exact compatibility with this career, your strengths, and any unique areas of interest.
The day-to-day routine of a nurse would tend to be a somewhat structured environment in many cases. Working in a hospital, one would follow a certain protocol when caring for patients and coordinating with doctors and other staff members. Administering medication, helping prepare patients for surgeries and treatments, and assisting doctors and surgeons during procedures are only a few of the daily tasks one might expect to work on.
Educating patients is another important aspect of nursing, as is learning. Sharing knowledge about health and lifestyle changes can have a very positive effect on a patient's life. Many nurses agree that learning doesn't end with graduating, and indeed, they continue to learn until the end of their careers. Nursing can be a rather dynamic career choice, and is well-suited to someone who is considered a problem-solver. Some nurses work with a great deal of autonomy, others work with very close supervision, and that is another thing to keep in mind while considering different nursing careers.
While there might be a few opportunities for people looking to break into the nursing field without a degree, such as working for a retirement home or a hospital, a high school diploma will definitely be a necessity. In order to move up the ladder into the higher paying nursing jobs, you'll need a degree. Several different options for this exist, but the highest paying nursing jobs will require a four-year bachelors degree (bachelor of science, nursing) which is available at many four-year universities and community colleges. There is also a two year associate's degree, offered at many community colleges and technical schools.
Another less likely possibility is the hospital diploma. Years ago, it was more common to receive a hospital diploma by working as a sort of apprentice alongside experienced healthcare workers, as well as completing courses at a local university. This has fallen out of favour in recent years due to funding and liability issues, though a few programs still exist. Many of the college courses for students pursuing a nursing degree are challenging. Many classes are focused on science and math, medical terminology and biology, and many hours studying and memorizing can be expected. A clean background check and drug screening are also almost a given for people in the healthcare industry, since the level of trust between employer and employee is very high.
Nurses work long hours, often on their feet, and evenings and weekends are almost a given. Frequently, 12-hour or split shifts are necessary as well, and since hospitals and nursing homes require 24-hour coverage, frequently the less desirable "overnight" hours are assigned to nurses with less seniority. Nurses that work in a general practice, or in a doctor's office, might find the hours and workload to be more palatable, however, the salary might reflect this convenience. This is a career for people who are motivated, enjoy a structured workplace, and have a high energy level. Patience and kindness are also important career skills for the prospective nursing student.
In the U.S., there is an abundance of exceptional nursing programs available, both online and traditional. Some programs, however, manage to distinguish themselves from the pack, and with that in mind, we have compiled a list of the top 30 leading-edge nursing schools in the United States.
Those wishing to enter this demanding but satisfying profession should first take a little time to become familiar with what registered nurses do and also with the steps a person needs to take in order to become an RN.
Most people would immediately think of a hospital when thinking of a nurse's workplace, and that is indeed a common employer for many people in the healthcare industry. Private practices, clinics, retirement centres, nursing homes, and in-home healthcare are some other possibilities for nursing careers. Schools and universities, cruise ships, airports, and sports teams are some of the more unusual places for a registered nurse to find employment, but these and countless more opportunities exist.
What's a typical day? As these nurses would tell you, there isn't one. See the rewards and challenges they look forward to every time they go to work.
An emergency room (ER) nurse starts another 12-hour shift in the local "24-hour body repair shop."
How does an experienced registered nurse spend her day? She stays on the go and in the know about her numerous patients.
Broadly speaking, a nurse is a person who has formally been educated and trained in the care of the sick or disabled.

Yesterday, we learned that Harry bought Taylor some cupcakes, perfume, a handbag, and some earrings for her 23rd birthday. Cute. He also took her out to dinner at his favorite Chinese takeout. Seems appropriate for a relatively new couple, right?
Well, get a load of this.
Taylor allegedly was so grateful for her new beau's birthday kindness, she wants to get him something nice in return.
What kind of thank you gift does Taylor Swift get for her new BF?
Nothing too crazy... just $80K worth Beatles memorabilia, of course.
For the love of God, Taylor, you're going to scare away this one just like all the others if you don't take a step back and stop smothering the kid.
It's clearly only a matter of time before she buys Harry a house. Or a country.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The Cherished Calendar Save the Date cards we personalized and ordered were perfect! Our wedding colors are black, white, and red and the design fit right into our theme. I was also able to add our wedding website to the backside of the card with some help from the design team. I went with the basic paper that was no additional charge as well as the basic envelopes and was surprised at the quality. They do not look cheap! The print quality of our pictures (which had been professionally taken) was great and the red of my Fiance's shirt in the pictures matched the red of the print in the design. I would fully recommend this product and plan on ordering the rest of the Cherished Calendar designs for our invitations, thank you cards, etc! The delivery was quick (even with the standard delivery option) the cards arrived much faster than stated."
"My save the date turned out beautiful! The shimmer paper added a really nice detail to the already amazing product! The product is high quality and I would definitely recommend this product to everyone!"
"I ordered these Save the Dates and am extremely pleased. They have such a unique look to them, which I love. They look nothing like any of the other Save the Dates on my fridge, that I received. I do wish they came in magnets however, they are still great. If you're looking for a Save the Date that will stand out amongst the rest, this is a great choice."
"We customized our cards with black, blush and gray instead of the yellow and gold and it turned out beautifully! WPD did an amazing job, was so prompt to get back to us on all design changes, and the customer service team was extremely helpful when I was having trouble uploading an image onto the site. The quality of the paper is great, especially for the price. I am very pleased with the way these turned out!"
"These save the dates are so elegant and beautiful. I've received so many compliments on them. I ordered the pearl shimmer paper as advised and it gave the card a beautiful shimmer look (not tacky at all). It made the card look more expensive. I called Wedding Paper Divas twice to ask questions during the ordering process and both times they were very helpful and pleasant. Their customer service is great!"

Comments about Gibraltar 9608MB Backrest Drum Throne:
This throne rocks. I first used one at church, and then bought one for myself because it was so comfortable. Doesn't have the gas shock like the Roc n' Soc, but I don't want my throne to be that easy to move anyway. This one is built like a TANK, and stays put. The backrest is a great feature for when you have to sit there between songs and wait. I would highly recommend this throne.

MADISON, WI (WSAU) - As of Wednesday night, Governor Walker has closed many state government offices to the public due to extreme winter weather conditions predicted for Wisconsin. Select state office buildings will be closed to the public on Thursday, December 20, but will remain open to employees.
"We are keeping state buildings open to employees to ensure that essential services are maintained for our facilities that operate 24x7, as well as those employees who are able to safely travel to their offices," said Secretary Huebsch.
State office buildings will be closed to the public in the following counties:
Adams, Brown, Columbia, Crawford, Dane, Dodge, Fond du Lac, Grant, Green, Green, Lake, Iowa, Jefferson, Juneau, Lafayette, Marquette, Monroe, Outagamie, Richland, Rock, Sauk, Vernon. Winnebago
The Capitol in Madison is still open for business.
Agency heads have been authorized to allow employees to take leave from work (such as vacation time) as provided in the State's Inclement Weather Policy, but excludes sick leave. This allows employees to determine if they can safely travel to work.
Earlier today, Governor Walker declared a State of Emergency to ready Wisconsin Emergency Management, the Wisconsin National Guard, the State Patrol, and other Wisconsin state agencies to respond to the winter storm.

|Durability of an As2S3 chalcogenide glass: Optical properties and dissolution kinetics
|Yi-Fan Niu1, 2Jean-Pierre Guin1Abdesselam Abdelouas3Tanguy Rouxel1Johann Troles4
|The durability of a As2S3 chalcogenide glass composition was studied in de-ionized water at different temperatures (60-90 °C) for different periods of time, up to 120 days. The evolutions of the chemical composition and the pH of the solutions as well as the optical transmission of bulk samples, in the 2-10 μm region, were measured as a function of corrosion time. Atomic force microscopy and optical microscopy were used to investigate the roughness of corroded surfaces and the evolution of surface defects. The water corrosion of As2S3 glass was found to follow a congruent dissolution mechanism, a possible glass-water reaction mechanism was proposed. The optical transmission of the glass was found to be affected by the corrosion. The optical loss increased from 4 to 21% with corrosion time, this variation was attributed to the texturation of the surface by the reaction of corrosion. Moreover, the experimental results show that high temperature value enhances the corrosion reaction: an activation energy of 103 ± 2 kJ/mol was computed from experimental measurements.

Inside award-winning breaking news: How to prepare, plan and execute
Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Andrea Ahles, Box Cox, Gordon Dickson, Scott Nishimura and Mitchell Schnurman won a Society of American Business Editors and Writers Best in Business award last month for their day one coverage of American Airlines' bankruptcy filing.
The package included stories about the filing, the incoming CEO and labor unions. It became the front-page centerpiece and the business news cover, and it filled two inside pages.
"The filing was touching our readers in more than 'this company filed for bankruptcy,'" says Andrea, my former colleague at the Philadelphia Inquirer. "It was a comprehensive package because we knew we had to get story out there."
Big day one packages like this can't be executed without a plan.
Today's First Tip: Have a plan to deal with major stories on your beat.
While the filing was expected, no one knew exactly when it would happen. So Andrea, Bob, the managing editor, the photo editor, the digital editor and a designer all met to iron out a plan a month before the filing.
"Usually bankruptcies don't come out blue," she says. "It's a question of when."
Bob has experience writing about unions so he handled the union angle. Andrea knew the airport board had a scheduled meeting that day so Gordon covered it.
Second Tip: Push to get stories online quickly then think about the print version.
Many pieces of the story were posted online, giving editors earlier access and keeping readers up to date. For instance, Andrea says she had an 8:30 a.m. interview with the new chief executive. By 9:15 a.m., she had the Q&A posted on the paper's Sky Talk blog. Her editors pulled that post for the paper.
Andrea says she started focusing on the print edition of her story around 4 p.m. She knew the print edition had to differ from online versions, but the information would be the same.
Third Tip: If it's your beat, backread all the copy in a package.
"I backread all of the stories to be sure everybody was on same page," she says.
Her day ended at about 11 p.m., she says. She'll remember it not only because the filing had a major impact on Fort Worth, but also because it was her birthday.
Young journalist asks: 'Where are all the journalists of color covering business?'
Christopher Nelson, freelance journalist and graduate student at Georgetown University Law Center, came back from this year's SABEW convention pumped up about journalism but wondering about what was missing.
Nelson attended SABEW's (Society of American Business Editors and Writers) annual convention in Indianapolis as one of two fellows sponsored by Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism.
"It was an enriching experience, a welcome opportunity to have an up close and personal introduction to the world of business and economics reporting," Nelson wrote afterward. "Still, one thing struck me while there: the lack of people of color at the conference.
"Given the importance of reporting on the economy, including jobs numbers, the growth or lack thereof of national and international companies, consumer spending, tax policy, trade policy, and myriad other issues, it was quite startling. So I decided to explore the topic of diversity in business reporting."
And that he did for NABJdigital Blog: Where are the journalists of color covering the business beat?
Nelson explained:
"After being fortunate enough to receive a Reynolds Center fellowship which allowed me to attend SABEW for the first time, I felt it very important to share my observations. In my first post - Learning about business news – I wrote about my conference experience generally.
In my second post, I focused on something which struck me while attending SABEW, a seeming lack of diversity in the business reporter ranks.
As a former board member for the National Association of Black Journalists, I know of the importance of a) raising an issue thus challenging people's awareness levels and b) being solution-oriented discussing available resources which could likely help inspire someone who hadn't thought of business reporting to think of it as a beat which presents wondrous opportunities."
SABEW's executive director Warren Watson said the organization has many opportunities for networking, training or job opportunities.
"It is an embarrassment to all of us that we have such a lack of diversity in business journalism," Watson said. "It's really an issue we need to figure out." He said SABEW encourages journalists of color to try business journalism and to reach out to existing members to get involved.
Benét Wilson, a freelance aviation writer/blogger and chair of NABJ's Digital Journalism Task Force, stressed how a knowledge of business is important for every beat and can open doors for journalists of color.
"I have been a business journalist for a large part of my career," said Wilson who is also a Reynolds Center blogger. "Every beat you cover – from entertainment to the court system – includes an aspect of business. Many of us are already being pushed to follow the money, so there's never been a better time to cover this niche on your chosen beats or in general. The opportunities are endless, with newspapers, magazines, trade publications and websites looking for talented journalists, especially those of color, who can break down the numbers."
Will Sutton, Reynolds Visiting Professor of Business Journalism at Grambling State University, also approached the topic with a solution-oriented approach.
"As a longtime diversity advocate, editor and journalist, like Nelson, I was appalled but not surprised when looking around the Society of Business Editors and Writers (SABEW) conference in Indy," Sutton said.
Sutton, a member of SABEW's diversity committee, added a little historical context: "There was a time – when I was president of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) as well as before and after – that NABJ had a business journalism task force. It was a small but growing and dedicated group of black professionals. Unfortunately, the effort waned."
Like Nelson, Sutton decided to write something about the lack of diversity in business journalism.
"Yes, I can put on my angry black journalist hat and blast all types of people for what's not being done," he said. "I'm pretty good at it when I want to be. However, I decided to write something about what's wrong and how to fix it. I'm even better at that when I decide to be."
Stay tuned here for a piece from Sutton. And he says, meanwhile, if you have comments, ideas and suggestions, he welcomes them. Email Will Sutton at email@example.com or find him on Facebook or Linkedin/WillSutton.
Immigration reform: Tips for covering a tangled debate
A panel discussion at the Society of American Business Editors and Writers Annual Conference challenged a room of business journalist to expand their coverage of immigration reform. It's a complex issue and a hot coverage topic that will continue to grow during the 2012 elections.
The panel, which included Robert Harris, an immigration attorney based in Ohio, Jenifer M. Brown, an immigration attorney and partner at Indianapolis law firm Ice Miller, and Steve Guerra, general manager of Azteca America's Atlanta affiliate, discussed immigration reform angles journalists should cover in the coming months. The discussion was moderated by Kevin Hall, a national economics reporter for McClatchy Newspapers.
A common theme was the panelists' view that a border fence will not solve core problems. Here are other highlights from the session:
Economics 101
Robert Harris suggested journalists could pursue several key topics within the immigration debate that receive limited attention. They include:
- The impact of investing in a child's education through high school and then later deporting them.
- The fallout of the reduction of cheap labor in agriculture and other areas.
- The accurate amount of contributions to state's sales tax and social security made by illegal immigrants.
"The real issue is the distributional affect is uneven," Harris said. "There are people who win a lot and there are others who are hurt a little."
Harris suggested journalists keep basic economic principals in mind to avoid reporting the common misconception that illegal immigrants are the sole cause of our nation's recession.
"We desperately need some kind of immigration reform to clarify what the issues are and how we can deal with them as far as just building a fence whether it's a real fence, a virtual fence, an emotional fence our GDP will fall, how much isn't clear, but it wont cure the recession," Harris said.
The waiting game
Jenifer M. Brown detailed the difficulty faced by immigrants who pursue coming to the U.S. legally. For example, this fiscal year there are no remaining HB1 visas allowing U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations.
In order to grant a visa, Brown said she has to prove there is no alternative U.S. resident capable of performing the task of the international skilled worker. Brown said STEM majors (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) typically make up the majority pool of those granted visas.
The visa quota situation is a challenging hurdle, Brown said. She added that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services remains skeptical about fraud in the applications, which also slows down the process.
All about the numbers
The panelist mentioned the importance of verifying the numbers in immigration studies because they could be self serving for the organization that produced them. The help round out the data check out these resources:
Story ideas: Hot topics in the business of aging
As baby boomers age, they become the target for industries ranging from health care to dietary supplements, and also an important business topic for financial reporters. Currently more than 5.7 million Americans, or 18.5 percent of the population, are older than age 60, according to 2010 Census data.
During a session on the business of aging at the Society of American Business Editors and Writers Annual Conference, a panel of experts detailed hot trends that reporters should have on their radar. The conference, which brings together business journalists and industry experts, was held March 15-17 in Indianapolis.
The session's panelists include Paul LaPorte, a regional economist for the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Lori Bitter, an expert on marketing and the economics of baby boomers, Carla Penny, a member of the American Association of Retired Persons' National Policy Council, and Malaz Boustani, associate director of the Indiana University Center for Aging Research. The discussion was moderated by John Wasik, an award-winning business columnist.
Here are a few highlights from the panel discussion:
Many baby boomers are retiring at a younger age because of the economic crisis. This can threaten their economic security later in life – Carla Penny: Early retirement is typically taken at age 62, and after retirement many people rely on Social Security. This decreases retirees' lifetime benefits. Older widows, who live alone on their spouses' Social Security, are a central concern. Also, taking early retirement is particularly hard for baby boomers, because they need to use their social security benefits to support themselves, as well as their long-living parents.
Caregivers play a vital part in the business of aging – Lori Bitter: Caring for family members results in a significant loss of productivity. There are currently 65 million U.S. caregivers, which results in lost wages of about $3 trillion for families in pensions and Social Security. Bitter also said there are not enough caregivers for the rising number of aging baby boomers.
Electronic devices are not a perfect substitute for family caregivers - Lori Bitter: Devices are available to help seniors monitor their blood pressure, food intake and weight. The electronic tools comprise a significant marketplace. General Electric and Intel have emerged as two pioneers in researching and developing these virtual health systems. However, finding a way for seniors to afford the devices is a challenge. If the government is not ready to subsidize, the devices are typically too expensive for individuals to purchase. Also, compliance with the device is another challenge. On average, the devices are not used for a long time and as a patient heals, the monitor device is often returned.
Thirty million people over age 55 years are now employed. The number of working seniors will continue to grow – Paul LaPorte: Labor force participation, consisting of those who are employed or actively looking for a job, for Americans age 55 and over has trended upward since 1993. The rate is currently about 40 percent and the number could continue to grown in the future. Reasons for the growth include the need for income and increased life expectancy.
Delirium has a significant impact on the U.S. health care system – Malaz Boustani: Delirium is a confusion syndrome, which is common among hospitalized patients with an episode of acute illness. More than 7 million hospitalized Americans suffer from the disease every year, which costs the health care system between $38 billion to $152 billion annually.
Health care system is moving to accountable care – Malaz Boustani: Hospitalists can no longer make money simply by offering a service, they need to create a value for the service, and take care of a panel of people related to the patient and the disease. To survive in the health care system, hospitalists need to balance serving the patient, and simultaneously serving the entire patient population. Also, the concept of "who's the patient" is different. Patients now include the sick person, as well as their family. Hospitalists should take care of them all.

Ford's James Farley Jr. details the company's challenges and recent success
After facing several trying years battling the faltering U.S. economy, the outlook at Ford Motor Co. has a glimmer these days. And James Farley Jr., the company's vice president for marketing, is part of an executive team that helped make it happen.
From the company's revamp of its overhead capacity numbers to a realization of the common qualities global customers seek in a vehicle, Farley detailed the strategic decisions that have helped guide the company toward a more vibrant future.
Farley shared Ford's recent challenges and successes with a group of journalists gathered in Indianapolis for the 2012 Society of American Business Editors and Writers Annual Conference.
Paul Ingrassia, deputy editor-in-chief at Reuters, led the conversation with Farley on Thursday afternoon that was packed with nonstop questions from business writers and editors. Below are some of the highlights:
On Ford shrinking its overhead capactiy: "We have finally addressed the overhead capacity. The U.S. quickly went from 16 or 17 million (units of) vehicles to 10 million…The volume dropped 70 percent. We really had to look ourself in the mirror and address the over capacity in the industry."
On understanding the commonalities global customers seek in a vehicle: "We found many customers wanted the same thing in an automobile. That really changed things. It forced all of us, especially at Ford, to look at our European cars and wonder 'why we couldn't offer the same automobiles in multiple markets?'"
On the company's commitment: "If we don't make our cars better than someone elses, we're not going to make it…We made a bet on excellence in the product."
On if the durability of Ford's comeback…will it last? "It's too early to tell. I wish I could say yes, but we as a team are looking at the first chance of building a sustainable company for years to come. The capability is there for the first time. The culture is there for the first time… I think we have opportunity."
On demand of alternative vehicles, from small to electric: "The bottom live is changed behavior. In the last 90 days we've seen people running into small cars. Twenty five percent of our industry now is small cars."
On his all too famous quote that he would "beat Chevrolet on the head with a bat" after he accepted a job Ford: "We are in a competitive industry. It's as simple as that. When we had to let people go, I saw the families in the supermarket. They could come up to me and say, 'why did you fire my husband?'
I'm a human being. It's hard for me to overlook the impact of a bankruptcy on the people…I was disappointed as a professional working in this industry for over 25 years that some of the greatest companies were not making it."
Danger! Numbers in the newsroom — tips from Sarah Cohen on taming digits in stories
What do you think of when you see that number? A nickel? Five fingers?
How about 5-to-4? What comes to mind?
A Supreme Court decision? A baseball score?
What if the number is bigger, say 313? Can you picture that?
How about 313 million, the current population of the United States? How easy is that to visualize?
That's how Duke University Knight Professor Sarah Cohen made the point that when numbers get very large – or very small — they get harder to picture and understand.
In those situations, one way to help your audience understand numbers is to provide an anchor. Speaking at a session today sponsored by the Reynolds Center at the Society of American Business Editors and Writers Conference in Indianapolis, she outlined these possible anchors to give meaning to numbers:
- A standard or goal – Ask yourself, "What would good look like?" For example, what would good GDP growth look like?
- Historical numbers— Is there a golden period to which current numbers can be compared? Perhaps in the economy that might be the late 1950s and early 1960s.
- Portion of whole – For example, at the time of the Million Man March in 1995, a turnout of 1 million black men would have represented 1/12th of all the black men in the country at the time.
- Other places – How do other similar towns or companies compare?
Other tips on numbers in the news from Cohen, who was an economist before becoming a Pulitzer-winning journalist at The Washington Post, included:
- To make a very small number more understandable, divide it into 1. For example, .0081 is the proportion of the U.S. population who die every year. 1/.0081 translates to 1 in every 124 Americans die each year.
- If you have a story filled with numbers – and not people — it needs to be really, really short.
- Unless you're dealing with really small numbers, decimal points may not be meaningful. "I'm a big fan of rounding," Cohen said.
- Limit yourself to no more than 12 digits, including dates such as 2012, in a single paragraph.

Financial journalists: WSJ, Andrew Ross Sorkin, Gretchen Morgenson top influencers
A new survey of financial journalists shows that as a whole, they are neutral at best and cautious on their outlook for the U.S. economy and the U.S. financial services sector over the next year.
According to the annual Gorkana 2012 survey of financial journalists, those who work primarily in television/ radio have a significantly more positive outlook on the economy than those who report primarily for the Web, magazines/trade publications, or newswires. Veteran financial journalists have a more positive outlook on the U.S. economy than do journalists with less experience in the field, the survey said.
Gorkana survey's financial journalists annually to determine how these professionals view the economy, the health of the U.S financial system, the outlook on financial journalism in the country and much more.
The survey was completed in December 2011 and sent out to 3,192 professionals. The organization received 349 responses from business news organizations, compiling and analyzing the data into the presentation given at the 2012 Society of American Business Editors and Writers annual conference in Indianapolis, Ind.
Robert Ingram, the director of Gorkana, and Matt Ragas, Ph.D., an assistant professor at DePaul University presented their report at SABEW's annual convention in Indianapolis.
"It's natural for financial journalists to want to see where and how they stack up compared to their peers, and this survey provides one of the first detailed looks into this area," Ragas said in a prepared statement. "For PR professionals, this is a valuable peek behind the curtain."
Check out the full report: The 2012 Gorkana survey of financial journalists. (PDF)
Key findings of the survey include:
Outlook on the Economy: 46 percent of respondents had a neutral view on the economy for the next year, 36 percent had a negative outlook. The data showed that more experienced journalists had more positive views than their less experienced counterparts. Ingram and Ragas speculated that more experienced journalists have been seen the economy bounce back in the past, thus giving them a more positive outlook.
Health of Financial Journalism in the U.S: The majority of respondents had a neutral view of this topic — 44 percent. A smaller percentage, 34 percent, had a positive outlook on financial journalism in the country. The data also showed that more experienced reporters were less optimistic about the field. "Maybe they've seen the field change and are not pleased with the changes," Ingram said.
Most Influential News Organization: A large group, 71.9 percent, said the Wall Street Journal is the most influential financial news organization. Bloomberg news came in second on the survey at 60.1 percent.
Most Influential Financial Journalist: Andrew Ross Sorkin of the New York Times came out on top with 23.9 percent of the vote. Gretchen Morgenson, also from the New York Times, came in second with 21.1 percent. The New York Times dominates this list with half of the journalists in the top ten for this survey.
Sources for Stories: The survey listed many different resources and had respondents give points based on how often they used the listed source. Journalists used the numbers 1-7, 1 being not at all and 7 meaning very often, to provide feedback. The majority, 59.5 percent, said they got story ideas from other publications and readings. Only 5.1 percent said they used corporate social media sites to get ideas, surprising both Ingram and Ragas.
Gorkana provides products and services for public relations specialists and journalists in an effort to better communication in these fields.

Best of SA 2012
Best Thrift Shop
Published: April 25, 2012
1. Texas Trash
Clothing Exchange
1710 McCullough, (210) 259-6028, facebook.com/texastrash.clothingexchange
For many of us, thrift stores reflect our childhoods: everything's broken and incomplete. To find anything good requires the dexterity of a (young) Indiana Jones, who (in this case) can outrun a giant boulder of slightly stained H-E-B polos and Alf dolls as a tribe of Member's Only natives attempt to spear him with broken NERF products. Texas Trash Clothing Exchange saves you from all that ugliness by combining a punk-rock DIY ethos with a commitment to quality inventory. Unpretentiously located by San Antonio College, Texas Trash supplies a comfortable shopping experience you don't always find at the higher-priced boutiques. If only they could have saved us from Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.

Harold Varmus Becomes Fourteenth Director of the National Cancer Institute
On July 12, Dr. Harold Varmus was sworn in by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to become the 14th director of NCI. Later that day, Dr. Varmus, who led NIH from 1993 to 1999, held a town hall meeting with NCI staff to lay out some of his objectives and "set the tone" for his time as NCI director. Read more > >

Pretty Nails & Toesies: Lavender Lovin'
Last night I fell in love. No joke, I fell in love with Nice is Nice by Essie & Sugarplum Fairy by Color Club. Nice is Nice retails for $4-$6, and Sugarplum Fairy $6-$8. I was overdue for a much needed manicure, and ever since my January Birchbox haul, I've been obsessed with finding a milky lavender, something that holds true to color. Also, if you couldn't already tell, I am OBSESSED with glittery nailpolish. Here's how my nails turned out with both colors:
Perhaps it's the subtlety of the lavender or the gorgeous holographic glittery polish, but I have been checking out my nails since I filed, buffed, and painted them last night! What's even better, is that since the colors hold true to their actual shades you really don't need to go over the top for this clean and cute look!
Sugarplum Fairy has flecks of pink, green, blue, and looks holographic which I love. It blends perfectly with the lavender, and still manages to create a pop!
As I mentioned earlier, you can see how the colors are exactly true to shade – a rarity when it comes to glitter might I add. Nice is Nice is the perfect lavender and I threw on two coats on my nails. Sugarplum Fairy would have been good with just one coat, but I tend to OD of all things glitter, hence I put two coats as well. NO REGRETS!
So, what did we learn?
A) Lavender ROCKS.
B) Sugarplum Fairy is not only for The Nutcracker.
C) Easy DIY nails become that much easier with the perfect shade.
D) Raji is obsessed with glitter.
Till next time kitten .. xoxo!

The CAM2 system is now ready for data migration and go-live. The Steering Group met on the 8th June and agreed that go-live would be the
19th July
GY will be assigning data owners who will be responsible for the data migration.
The production system currently holds all of the data that we have been able to migrate to date. The data owners will be working with FoCul to confirm that the data migration schemes are correct and that the system is ready for formal migration on the 17th July.
Where data needs further cleaning FoCul will work with the data owners to make that manual task as easy as possible.
Janet is well underway with the training materials and will be developing a training plan shortly.
The project to migrate documents from W drive will start once the main CAM2 system has been implemented

'Fast Money' Recap: Another High, Another Jobs Report
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The S&P 500 hit yet another record high on Thursday, ahead of February's nonfarm payrolls report on Friday morning.
On CNBC's "Fast Money" TV show, Tim Seymour, managing partner of Triogem Asset Management, said investors should start to consider the duration of the current bull market (roughly five years), and the seasonality of the current year, where he thinks April will be "rocky."
He added that volatility is cheap at current levels, which could be used for a hedge, although markets still have more room to the upside. He suggested investors give a "free pass" on Friday's employment report because the weather has been so bad.
Jon Najarian, co-founder of optionmonster.com and trademonster.com, agreed that Friday's nonfarm payrolls report would be more of a non-event, while future economic reports this month will start to matter more.Karen Finerman, president of Metropolitan Capital Advisors, wondered if unrest in Ukraine would resurface, hurting U.S. equities in the not-so-distance future. Dan Nathan, co-founder and editor of riskreversal.com, said U.S. equities seem like a safe haven right now. He added that Russian stocks have yet to really rebound from earlier this week, while the DAX has only made up half of its losses. He added that there is still some fear in the market since the S&P 500 made new highs while the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX.X) has not hit previous lows. Gold also moved higher, another sign of the "fear trade." Seymour said crude oil can continue to move higher. He also likes the precious metal miners.
