The diminishing returns of a college degree
And yet, you should still get one.
This guest post comes from Pop at Pop Economics.
"In a society of Einsteins, Einsteins take out the garbage, scrub floors, and wash dishes." That was a recent sentence written by George Mason economist Bryan Caplan.
He was talking about eugenics, but the quote got me to thinking about the college education and its recent role as a punching bag in the blogosphere and press. If everyone in America got a bachelor's degree, college grads would have to take out the garbage, scrub floors, and wash dishes. You can't outsource your janitorial staff to India.
How close are we to that? "Is a college degree worth the cost?" is a question that returns every time the fall semester starts. But this time around, the skepticism has gotten especially strong. A survey found that only 64% of Americans think a college education is a good investment, down from 80% in 2009. That's laughably low.
Meanwhile, the stats on how college grads are doing vs. high school grads and dropouts seem crystal clear.
In August, the unemployment rate for people with a B.A. and higher was 4.6% -- almost six points lower than that of high school grads and 10 points lower than that of dropouts. The median income of people with bachelor's degrees is 75% higher than that of high school graduates, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Professor Richard Florida recently found a strong correlation between educational attainment and happiness. (Not necessarily causation, but still something to think about.)
How do you walk away from those facts still thinking that maybe a college degree isn't worth it?
But the cost is so high
Many commenters have pointed to the ever-steepening cost of college. In the last decade, it has risen at about 5% per year, much faster than in the previous two decades.
- Video: The value of a dollar
Then your typical commenter writes something about opportunity cost ("He could be a plumber making $60k!"), compound interest ("Invest that $100k for college in a low-cost mutual fund and you'll be a millionaire by 40!"), and anecdotes about M.A. grads working in Starbucks, and voila! Suddenly, college looks like a poor deal.
But is it really as bad as it seems? The College Board reports that, on average, students pay only 67% of that sticker price. In some Ivy League schools (plus Stanford), parents who make under a reasonably high salary don't have to pay anything.
Is the cost increasing? Yes. But the best schools are increasingly competing for the best students (in part, because they become the most generous alumni). That will hopefully continue to have a dampening effect on actual costs and might trickle down to lower-tier schools.
But the jobs of the future need technical skills, not a broad-based curriculum, you might say.
Periodically, the Bureau of Labor Statistics tries to estimate what will be the most in-demand jobs in the future. Of the 10 jobs it thinks will grow the fastest through 2018, only two require a bachelor's degree or above (accountants and college professors). Most (like customer-service reps and food preparers) need only on-the-job training.
A great example of this is nursing. You don't need a B.S. to be a nurse. In some cases, you can get by with an associate degree or three-year vocational program, which will include the areas of biology specifically relevant to your future job.
Let's put aside the issue of whether you want any of those fastest-growing jobs. How accurate do those jobs-of-the-future estimates actually end up being? It depends on your definition of "accurate." In a look back at their 1988-to-2000 employment projections, BLS economists found that they were way too optimistic about some professions and not optimistic enough about others.
The number of human service assistants grew at a rate triple what they predicted. Meanwhile, computer technicians didn't add nearly as many jobs as thought. They were right that we'd have more computers, but improving technology meant they broke down less frequently.
But even more than that, you can't predict job growth for a job that doesn't exist yet. How many PR social network specialists would the BLS have predicted in 1995, before mainstream social networks existed?
What a broad-based college degree gets you is flexibility. Go to a plumbing school, and you'll come out a plumber. You'll be a great fit for plumbing positions. But if that field ever suffers or you find you don't enjoy the work, it will be much harder to change professions than if you graduated with a B.A. in history.
Right now, only about 30% of Americans have a bachelor's degree. So let's not get ahead of ourselves. But in a world where everyone has a B.A., a college diploma becomes even more essential, not something you can just skip altogether.

Man's best friend may have more in common with his or her human owners than previously thought.
For the past two years, neuroscientist Gregory Berns of Emory University has been conducting a series of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans on canines – including his pet terrier Callie – and he says his findings show that dogs have the same capacity to experience emotions, such as love and attachment, as humans.
In a recent op-ed in The New York Times, Berns argued that this emotional aptitude must mean that "dogs are people, too," and they should be afforded many of the same rights as people.
Because dogs cannot speak, Berns said that scientists have relied on behavioral observations to better understand what dogs are thinking. This can be tricky, since researchers cannot truly comprehend why a dog performs a certain action or how the dog feels about it.
"By looking directly at their brains and bypassing the constraints of behaviorism, MRIs can tell us about dogs' internal states," Berns argued in The New York Times.
Along with his friend Mark Spivak, a dog trainer, Berns trained his dog Callie and other canine volunteers to enter the MRI scanner in order to measure the dogs' brain responses to two hand signals. Through these tests, Berns noted a striking similarity between dogs and humans in a region of the brain called the caudate nucleus – an area associated with anticipation of things people enjoy.
"… Many of the same things that activate the human caudate, which are associated with positive emotions, also activate the dog caudate," Berns wrote in The New York Times. "Neuroscientists call this a functional homology, and it may be an indication of canine emotions."
Because of this finding, Berns said it's possible that dogs experience a level of sentience comparable to human children, suggesting that people should reconsider how they think of their pets.
"Perhaps someday we may see a case arguing for a dog's rights based on brain-imaging findings," Berns wrote in The New York Times.

The priority deadline for Cincinnati police chief applications has passed and now there are 28 people in the running.
Applications have come in from as far as Seattle and Miami and include police consultants, a community college police academy director, and an airport chief.
The job was vacated when James Craig announced he'd be leaving Cincinnati after less than two years to take a police chief job in his hometown of Detroit.
The applicants include three internal candidates:
Bailey was promoted back in May to assistant chief after nearly a decade as a police captain.
Humphries climbed the ranks over his 27 year career in the department and is currently at the helm as interim chief. He's a Xavier and University of Cincinnati graduate and is now an adjunct professor in UC's Criminal Justice Department.
Captain Gary Lee is the district one commander, but he is also a full time student working on his Masters of Arts in Counseling at Cincinnati Christian University. The thirty-two year CPD veteran has a degree in criminal justice form UC and is a 1969 graduate of UC's College Conservatory of Music.
The only assistant chief not on the list is James Whalen who was one two internal finalists during the previous police search. In our commitment to balanced news, FOX19 reached out to Whalen but as of Monday even had not heard back.
The other internal finalist during the last search, Vincent Demasi, left and went to West Palm Beach after James Craig got the job, but he is now back in the running.
A list obtained by FOX19 from the city shows 30 applicants with one withdrawing their application and another rejected.
Captain Young, a 30 year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, is the only female candidate.
While a half a dozen applicants are currently in chief roles, city documents show four retired and three resigned from their last police positions. One, former Detroit Police Chief James Barren, was fired.
A screening committee made up of community members and city staff will make a recommendation to the city manager from the applicants. That recommendation is expected in the next few weeks.
Ultimately it is up to the city manager to decide who will be Cincinnati's next chief.
According to the city's website, applicants will be accepted until the position is filled.

From the Vault: NSA Domestic Surveillance
Vault Show
With recent revelations about the National Security Agency's expansive data-collection efforts, we look in our vault to May 12, 2006, when our panelists discussed the fallout over a secret NSA program that tracked and saved a database of millions of phone calls during the Bush administration. The discussion – seven year ago—highlights an historic debate over how far the government should go in surveillance of Americans .

Ottoman is pretty, but not very functional. It has a hump, which doesn't allow you to set a tray on it. Even a cell phone and TV remote slide off the top. Also, it is a little higher than our sofa, so putting up your feet gets unconfortable very quickly. You could remove the lower set of feet under the shelf so that it's not so high, but then you'd lose the funtionality of having a shelf. The space between the shelf and the bottom of the ottoman is also not very much - only about 5.5 inches, so only shallow storage baskets will fit. Only recommended this ottoman for looks, but not for storage, comfort or function.
It looks just like he picture and iw well made. We left the bottom shelf off because the two wood colors didn;t really match that well. I actually like it better this way.
The Elements Ottoman was taupe and not gray however it meshed well with the living room decor. The quality was top-notch as: the fabric was thick and durable and the wood heavy, nicely detailed and full of character. It only garnered four stars because the way it was packaged caused the underlining of the ottoman top to tear. Since the tear was in no way visible it wasn't worth returning. All in all it's a unique piece and adds a designer touch to the living room.
I had two chairs that I thought this would match and complement so I risked buying it online without seeing it in person... It turned out better than I expected. A very quality piece of furniture, easy to put together and arrived quickly. Perfect in every aspect. Thank you Overstock!
The ottoman arrived quickly and looked just like the picture on the website. Assembly was easy and took about 5 minutes. It is the show piece of my living room. I could not be happier with the purchase.
This looked exactly as it was pictured. It took less than 10 minutes to assemble .. no tools required, just position the shelf and screw the legs in. This is a beautiful addition to our family room.
SO heavy.. this thing is seriously well built. We use it with the shelf and love it... its a gray color in person. my BF spilled some clove oil on it and I freaked! I used baking soda rubbed it in vacuumed it out and it came perfectly clean. That is a great tip for this fabric! I am obsessed with this piece. I get so many compliments on it. Oh but do beware the corners are sharp. Still worth it.
Product quality is A1. Color is exactly as shown, and I love that it has a shelf underneath to store books or magazines.
Looked long and hard for just the right ottoman and this one filled the bill. Easy to assemble, sturdy, well made. Taupe color was a little lighter than picture but computer colors are not always accurate. Good choice for me.
I don't usually bother to write reviews but after searching high and low for an ottoman like this I was so pleased to find it at Overstock.com. The ottoman is very similar to others on the market for $1200 - $1600. It is solid wood, well-made and designed, and packed extremely well to prevent any damage. The light gray linen-like fabric is very pretty and coordinates with most neutral colors...I paired it with a chocolate sofa and a tan melange sisal rug, and it looks great! I would only use it as a bench for extra seating in a pinch as it is rather hard, but it is perfectly comfortable for our feet while watching T.V. and looks elegant with a silver tray on it. Very, very pleased with this purchase!

Perk-heavy Google tops list of best places to work
Fortune has listed the 100 top companies to work for, and many of them are hiring.
Do you work for Google?
If so, congratulations! And, stay where you are because your employer is No. 1 (for the fifth time) in Fortune magazine's 17th annual list of the 100 best companies to work for.
If you are looking for a job, or looking to change jobs, and Google isn't in your future, do not despair. There are plenty of other companies in Fortune's top 100 that offer desirable positions. Better yet, most of them are hiring.
Combing the list, job seekers will note everything from tech companies with fitness centers, play areas, and gymnasiums to more traditional employers with amazing health care plans and attractive starting pay as well.
The top companies, overall, are:
1. Google (GOOG), Mountain View, Calif. -- With stock priced north of $1,100, Google is attractive to employees as well as investors. That's because all Google employees are also shareholders. The company also appeals to the philanthropic streak in its workers by donating $50 for every five hours an employee volunteers.
2. SAS (SASDY), Cary, N.C. -- This software developer features an on-site health center, which the company also makes available to family members. The facility is not merely a room with a nurse and a blood pressure monitor either. The SAS health center features 53 medical and support staff, including nurses, doctors, registered dietitians, lab techs, a psychologist, and three physical therapists.
3. The Boston Consulting Group, Boston, Mass. -- Strategy consultant BCG celebrated 50 years in business last year by giving each employee a special interactive desk sculpture. The company is well-known for exceptional employee compensation and an aggressive recruiting process.
4. Edward Jones, St. Louis, Mo. -- Edward Jones is the fourth-largest financial services firm in the U.S. The company's 3,000 new hires last year joined a network of employees known for their longevity with Jones. With turnover of only 8 percent, the company is obviously doing something right.
5. Quicken Loans, Detroit, Mich. -- This high profile mortgage lender is hiring, almost with a vengeance. (See below.) One unusual incentive offered by Quicken recently included $20,000 in forgivable home loans to employees willing to move to the city of Detroit.
Speaking of job openings, the leaders in that area include No. 78, Ernst & Young, with 16,500 current job openings; No. 61, Deloitte, with 12,000 jobs available; and No. 84, Intel (INTC), which has 7,000 slots to fill.
Finally, as for those all-so-desirable company perks, the list includes a number of benefits and tweaks that would make anyone glad to drag himself or herself out of bed on a Monday morning and drive to work.
Take No. 60, Bingham McCutchen, for example. This law firm offers its Boston employees two box seats to a Red Sox game annually. Other benefits include tickets to concerts at TD Garden, Gillette Stadium, and Fenway Park.
Or, how about No. 79, Discovery Communications? In July, Discovery workers enjoyed a screening of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, Special Edition: The 'Watch n' Sniff'" episode in which each employee received a card they could scratch to match appropriate odors with the family's antics.
On the more positive side of the "perks" equation, Oprah Winfrey also visited and chatted with employees in November.
The bottom line is this: No matter what your area of expertise, there are companies who are hiring right now, who offer a work environment, benefits, and salary anyone would be happy to have.

email@example.com Ś As people get older, their loved ones naturally worry about their safety and security while trying to respect their independence. A partnership between the Perennial Park Senior Services Center and the City of Reading Emergency Services eases those concerns with a program called Care Call.
Call Care allows for seniors to receive daily phone calls checking in on their well being, or to remind them to take their medication. Members of the program can receive up to five calls a day starting at 6 a.m. and lasting until 10 p.m.
ōIt is underutilized, and I beat it like a drum because I think thereÆs enough people out there that we should have a couple hundred using this program,ö said PPSSC Executive Director Terry Vear during a presentation at MondayÆs Hillsdale City Council meeting.
Vear said the program is very well received by those who use it, but the number of members is lower than she would like.
The completely free program offers two options for members. A reassurance program that will call the member to check in and make sure they donÆt need any assistance. The member is required to answer the phone and confirm their well being. If they donÆt answer the call, an alert is sent to the Reading Emergency Services, who then attempt to contact the person again. If no contact is made, an ambulance is sent to the home. There is no charge if an ambulance is sent to the home.
The other program is a reminder call that can be set up to remind members to take their medication, eat lunch or any other daily activity they need to be reminded of. If there is no answer for that call, an ambulance wonÆt be sent.
ōThe medication reminders are wonderful for people,ö said PPSSC Home Based Services Director Kelly Cooley.
If the member knows they wonÆt be home when a scheduled call is going to take place, they can alert the call center not to worry about them.
ōI think thatÆs what is maybe stopping some people from taking the service is that there is a way to put it on hold or cancel it and they donÆt know it,ö Cooley said.
Cooley also said some people said they don't sign up for the service because they already have the Life Alert buttons with them in case of an emergency. However, Cooley points out the Life Alert system require the person to push a button, which may not be possible if they've fallen and are away from the button.
ōSome people have the Life Alert buttons, but this program can work well with that. ItÆs okay to have both systems in place,ö Cooley said.

In Thursday's Healthier Me, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has once again released a multi-million dollar multimedia advertising campaign designed to encourage people to quit smoking or never start.
"Ask yourself what you will miss more: your children, or cigarettes."
Now in its second year, the CDC's $48 Mil anti-smoking media campaign hopes to expand upon last year's apparent success.
CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden: "We had hoped that maybe half a million people would try to quit and maybe 50,000 people would succeed. Our initial data suggest that the actual results of that far exceeded those expectations."
Part of the success has been attributed to a raw 2012 ad featuring Terrie Hall, a throat cancer survivor who suffered disfigurement in the course of treatment, including surgery on her larynx which nearly destroyed her ability to speak.
The ads are in English and Spanish, and some target specific groups with high smoking rates, like Native Americans.
The ads drive home the impact smokers have on others; one shares the story a COPD patient struggling with how to tell his grandchildren he expects to die early because of his smoking history.
The ads begin running on Monday.

MISSION – Jose Refugio Marquez died June 29, 2012. He was born to Encarnacion and Ester Marquez in Zacatecaz, Mexico on July 31, 1921.
He left a great legacy for his children and taught some great lessons and values through pure example. He left the best example of what a loving father should be, of sacrifice, hard work, honesty and integrity, humility, forgiveness, and what was most important to him, about testifying of God's love and His plan, and about preaching His word to everyone around. He was an excellent and loving father and will forever be remembered.
He is survived by his children, Frances Sanchez, Susie Reyna, Esther Gaytan, Jesus Marquez all of Mission, Ron Marquez of San Juan, Janie Dehaan of Washington, Blanca Delgado of Washington, Eloisa and Ruben Marquez of California; brothers, Antonio and Merced Marquez; thirty-four grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Maria Marquez.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday, July 3 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on 29th and Dove in McAllen. Interment will follow at Palm Valley Memorial Gardens in Pharr.

Preheat broiler. Toss tomatoes and onion with 2 teaspoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the red-pepper flakes. Broil on a rimmed baking sheet until tomatoes are just starting to brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.
Toss warm pasta with garlic, remaining 2 teaspoons oil, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in tomato mixture and the oregano. Add 1/4 cup reserved cooking water to moisten; stir in remaining water as needed. Divide pasta among 4 bowls, and stir 1 tablespoon ricotta into each.
This lacked ompf. Needed lots more herbs and stronger flavor. I like the roasted tomatoes though, good sweetness and they smell really good.Reply

Catherine Zeta-Jones has checked in to a treatment center to get more help for her Bipolar disorder ... TMZ has learned.
We've learned ... the 43-year-old Academy Award winner checked in to the treatment center Monday ... and is expected to complete a 30-day program.
Sources connected to the actress tell us ... Jones' stint in the treatment center is a proactive measure. As one source puts it, "It's maintenance."
FYI -- Jones completed a stint at a treatment center in 2011 -- at the time, her rep said Catherine had "made the decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her Bipolar II disorder."
Zeta-Jones was last seen in public on April 22 -- when she hit the red carpet at the 40th Anniversary Chaplin Award Gala at Lincoln Center looking healthy ... with her husband Michael Douglas by her side.
good for her for getting help and not being ashamed of her mental illness. bravo
Wonder which one of her Mike likes best?
Get better Catherine.
All the best to the Jones/Douglas Family, eh?
It is wonderful that she is getting help! Even better that she is telling people about it!
Bipolar II ain't easy!
Good for her. I hope she feels better soon.
So when is TMZ going to start mocking the p iss out of her and otherwise being juvenile bullies like they have been with so many others lately?
Why do women get so old!! Daymn
Now if we could just get half of the crazy females to join her this country would be a better place! haha. Anyone that replies with a negative comment or doesn't like my comment I'm talking about you haha
a rehab for bipolar disorder? is their a rehab for Schizophrenia too? Usually, you are diagnosed with bipolar and given a series of medications to find a combo that works. You don't usually go to rehab for that. It could be that she is in rehab for other reasons. They just couldn't hide the fact that she is in a rehab.
This is a classy lady. I hope all goes well for her and her family.
Shes in rehab cause shes married to michael douglas who is 30 years older..duh
30 days for being bipolar??? WTF? Wrong! Try again...
She Looks Mexican....
She also had some face work done in the past year or two and that is a shame. Catherine is stunning with no need for surgical adjustments.
This proves what I've already told you. The hotter these semi-looking women are, the crazier they are.
She seems kinda mean
You dont do 30 days for being bipolar. She's obviously in rehab for some form of addiction.

IEHA is encouraging its members, who often are on the front lines of hotel housekeeping operations, to incorporate specific tasks that correspond with each of the Minimum Guidelines. IEHA has developed preliminary plans in an e-learning presentation, http://icmclean.articulate-online.com/5092263555.
"The housekeeping department affects the hotel property, environment, employees, and guests in profound ways: from the levels of dust in the indoor air, to the VOC impact of cleaning products and fragrances used in guestrooms, to the protection of guest health and safety when proper sanitation techniques are used, to reduction of energy used in facilities when room attendants monitor and control room thermostats," said Beth Risinger, CEO of IEHA. "By proactively integrating green housekeeping practices with the overarching goals of the Minimum Environmental Guidelines, we are encouraging hotels associated with IEHA to help transform the way things are done to affect the triple bottom line — people, planet and profits — in a huge way."
The Minimum Environmental Guidelines are culled from more than 60 criteria included in major national and state certification and rating systems, including Energy Star, Green Key, Green Seal, Green Globe, the Global Green Hospitality Consortium, the Sustainable Tourism Stewardship Council, the Rainforest Alliance, Sustainable Travel International, Prince of Wales Foundation (ITP), the U.S. Green Building Council, and the Green Building Initiative Group. Future guidelines will cover hotel design and construction, chemicals, and indoor air quality.
Additionally, the American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute recently updated Managing Housekeeping Operations, 3rd Revised Edition, with information on environmental and energy management. These updates are also reflected in the popular Certified Hospitality Housekeeping Executive (CHHE) program. And, the new TRAC Guestroom Attendant training program for line level employees incorporates green practices.
IEHA also offers certification, Certified Executive Housekeeper (CEH) and Registered Executive Housekeeper (REH), through its highly-acclaimed Self Study Program, which is currently being revised and will include information on Green practices. The program enables completing requirements for certification at the lodging professionals' own pace, in the location of their choice, through the full program or single modules, through continuing education credits, and includes modules on chemical controls, management philosophy and style, and microbiology, among others.
"The green initiatives AH&LA is creating with a variety of partner organizations such as the IEHA will be a resource for hotels committed to becoming more eco-friendly," said Joseph A. McInerney, CHA, president and CEO of AH&LA. "These will provide hotel owners and employees with a variety of options in which to create an environmentally-sustainable hotel that also protects employee and guest health."

Woodworker's Journal
A woodworker asked what the group thought about working with beech. The local lumber yards had increasing amounts of it and he wanted to try it out. The consensus was that beech was good and hard but showed a lot of movement. One person wrote:
"Beech is described as hard, fine textured with low workability (another word for hard) and high tangential movement (movement across the grain). This, by the way, is the exact same classification given to hard maple."
A couple of folks said that beech was a real problem to cut with a scrollsaw and not much good for carving.

Pregnancy - health risks
Alternative Names
If you are trying to get pregnant, you should try to follow healthy habits from the time you are trying to get pregnant all the way through your pregnancy. Do not smoke tobacco or use illegal drugs, stop drinking alcohol, and limit caffeine and coffee.
Talk to your doctor about any medications you may be taking to see if they can affect your unborn baby. Eat a well-balanced diet and take supplemental vitamins with at least 400 mcg of folic acid a day.
If you have any chronic medical problems (such as high blood pressure, kidney problems, or diabetes), talk to your doctor before trying to get pregnant.
Seeing a prenatal provider before trying to get pregnant or early in the pregnancy can help prevent, or detect and control health risks to the mother and fetus during pregnancy.
Men need to be careful, too. Smoking and alcohol may cause problems with the unborn baby. Smoking, alcohol, and marijuana use have also been shown to lower sperm counts.

Customer Reviews
I've used this line in clear/fluorescent blue for many years. It is my favorite line. The line glows at night under lantern light and it's nice to see your line move when getting a bite. I always use it in daylight as well. I have caught thousands of walleye with the lure tied directly to this line. As far as I can tell, fish cannot see Stren line when it's underwater.
Good price for the best all-around line out there.
I love this Stren line. I always use it.
Very good product and a good price.
Premium line at a budget price.
I try the so called better lines. I always seem to go back to the Stren lines. It is always durable and reliable. Seems to be less of a memory problem than with any other Mono line that I have used.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - The penalty phase opens Monday in an Albuquerque courtroom in the murder trial of John McCluskey, who faces a possible death sentence for the killings of a retired Oklahoma couple following a 2010 Arizona prison break.
Jurors who convicted McCluskey earlier this month after a four-month trial come back for what could be an even longer round of testimony on whether he should be executed or sentenced life in prison.
Much of the testimony is expected to focus on McCluskey's psychological state.
Family members of the victims say they also will be called to push for the death sentence.
The 48-year-old McCluskey was convicted Oct. 7 of murder, carjacking and other charges in the August 2010 deaths of Gary and Linda Haas of Tecumseh, Okla.

Google+ has really caught on with hams. There are quite a few of us on this new social network, and I currently have 330 in my ham radio "circle." Here are a few links that those hams have shared:

'UHF' Connector Test Results. This blog post by John Huggins (I couldn't find his callsign anywhere on the website) shows the results of his UHF connector tests. He also compares their characteristics to other types of RF connectors. Huggins says,
The stunning result is all the UHF connectors in the test have worse performance than all the other connectors. One immediate conclusion concerning 'UHF' connectors is they will function at these higher frequencies, but one must decide if using the PL259 or SO239 is worth it in an age where its deficiencies have been made moot by ALL connector designs since WWII.

Client: Pittsburgh District Army Corps of Engineers
Bergmann Associates provided innovative "In-the-Wet" design of a new tainter gated dam. This project utilized two large precast float-in segments for the base of the new dam (265' & 333' lengths) with extensive use of precast elements and fabrication of segments at an offsite casting facility. Project also used deep concrete drilled shaft foundations, sheet pile cut-off walls with H-piles and pipe piles, dredging, underwater work, tremie concrete placements and mooring systems. These innovative construction methods allowed construction of the dam without the use of cofferdams for cost and schedule savings.

Key statistics and data
Cheshire West and Chester has a population of 330,200 and covers 350 square miles. The borough is located in the North West of England and includes the historic city of Chester and the industrial and market towns of Ellesmere Port, Frodsham, Helsby, Malpas, Neston, Northwich and Winsford. About a third of the population live in rural areas. According to the government's 'Indices of Deprivation', the overall quality of life is good for many residents; however, there are places where some communities experience multiple disadvantages.
Our population has an ageing profile, with the number of residents aged over 65 expected to increase by over 50 per cent by 2029 and those over 85 will more than double.
Local statistics
The Strategic Intelligence Team collects and analyses a wide range of data. Guidance and links to this data are available from our local statistics pages.
The needs and assets of the Cheshire West and Chester population
The Strategic Intelligence Team provides a wide range of information that forms the Integrated Strategic Needs Assessment ( ISNA ) for Cheshire West and Chester. This information includes a combination of statistics and the views of local people to produce a detailed picture of the borough. It is mainly used to help fund, plan and re-shape local services to ensure they meet the needs of the local community.
Joint Strategic Needs Assessment for Cheshire West and Chester
The joint strategic needs assessment for Cheshire West and Chester Council is referred to locally as the 'Integrated Strategic Needs Assessment'. Find out more about children, young people and adults living in the borough.
Research and Consultation
The Strategic Intelligence Team also manages a variety of research and consultation projects for the Council. Further information about current consultations and the outcomes of previous consultations can be found at:
- Consultation and research findings: reports from consultation and research
- Council consultations: see what issues the Council is seeking views on
- View West: our Citizens' Panel of
2,500 residents who assist with a range of research and
consultation for the Council
Annual Public Health Report
The Annual Public Health Report is an independent report of the health needs and issues of the local population. It is the Director of Public Health's professional statement about the health of local communities, based on sound epidemiological evidence, and interpreted objectively.
The Director of Public Health's Annual Report should:
- Contribute to improving the health and well-being of local populations.
- Reduce health inequalities.
- Promote action for better health, through measuring progress towards health targets.
- Assist with the planning and monitoring of local programmes and services that impact on health over time.
Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment
We are currently consulting on pharmacy services in West Cheshire to inform the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment 2015. Take part in the survey:
The Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment ( PNA ) for Cheshire West and Chester describes the need for pharmaceutical services in the area. It sets out how these needs are currently being met by our community pharmacies and any potential gaps in service. The Council's area includes parts of the former Primary Care Trusts ( PCT s) of NHS Western Cheshire and Central and Eastern Cheshire PCT so there are currently two PNAs to be considered when assessing the pharmaceutical needs of the population. A new PNA for Cheshire West and Chester will be produced on or before April 1st 2015:
- Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA): NHS Western Cheshire with supporting documents (PDF, 2.2MB)
- Central and Eastern Cheshire PNA
- Central and Eastern Cheshire PNA supporting documents
