-- Robert Preidt
SUNDAY, Feb. 6 (HealthDay News) -- High school students who work
more than 20 hours a week at part-time jobs during the school year
may be more likely to have academic and behavior problems,
according to a new study.
U.S. researchers analyzed data collected in the late 1980s from
1,800 middle-class teens in grades 10 and 11 in order to compare
students who had jobs with those who didn't work.
The study found that working more than 20 hours a week was
associated with reduced school engagement, lower expectations for
further education, and an increase in illegal activities including
stealing, carrying a weapon, and using alcohol and illicit
These negative behaviors persisted even after such teens reduced
their work hours or stopped working, the investigators found.
However, teens who worked fewer hours appeared to experience
negligible academic, psychological or behavioral effects, according
to the study published in the January/February issue of the journal
Child Development.
"Although working during high school is unlikely to turn law-abiding teenagers into felons or cause students to flunk out of school, the extent of the adverse effects we found is not trivial, and even a small decline in school engagement or increase in problem behavior may be of concern to many parents," study leader Kathryn C. Monahan, a postdoctoral research scientist at the University of Washington, said in a news release from the Society for Research in Child Development.
She recommended that parents, educators and policymakers monitor
and limit the number of hours worked by high school students.

teens can balance school and work.

The Australian Team was bolstered by the selection of 16 canoe/kayak sprint athletes for the Australian Youth Olympic Festival (AYOF) to be held in Sydney from January 16-20.
The announcement comes as London 2012 K4 gold medallist David Smith declared a new era in canoeing is upon us.
"We believe canoeing is the next biggest thing in sport," said Smith at a paddling clinic in Manly.
"We want to change the middle-age market. Instead of going and buying a $5000-$10000 road bike… go get a kayak or ocean ski and enjoy the water."
The ripple effect of Smith and the K4 men taking gold in London can be seen in the new crop of paddlers named for the AYOF.
"Seeing Australia be so successful over the past few Olympics is always inspiring," 18-year-old Queenslander Bill Bain said after his selection.
"From Ken Wallace winning gold in Beijing to the K4 boys in London and even Ken getting fourth place in London is great to see. I also look up to Clint Robinson who is a local boy from the Sunshine Coast like me."
Bain is one of the frontrunners for AYOF stardom, having topped the male rankings at the AYOF selection event- the Australian Canoeing GP1, over the weekend.
West Australian Shannon Reynolds topped the female rankings after athletes were challenged in both crew and individual events. Their performances from their best three out of four events contributed to an overall point-score and determined the eight male and eight female Australian representatives.
"It was pretty tough and there is such great depth in Australian junior kayaking at the moment," Bain said.
The talented teenager had a breakthrough year in 2011, winning the non-Olympic K1 Junior World Marathon Championship (in a borrowed boat). He also finished fifth in the K1 1000m at the Junior World Championships.
National Performance Director Richard Fox is thrilled to introduce Australia's next generation of stars to the world stage ahead of a big year for juniors. Trials for the coveted U23 World Championship Team will take place just a month after the AYOF.
"After a break of four years, it is good to see the AYOF event back on the map," Fox said.
"It will be a great experience for our team of athletes to race competitors from China, Brazil, Japan, Hungary and New Zealand at the start of a big year with junior and Under 23 World Championships to follow in July."
For Bain, who will work closely with coaching staff to perfect his preparation for the events, "every year is bigger than the last. We are stepping up every year."
National Elite Development Manager and AYOF Chairman of Selectors, Dave Foureur, was impressed with the calibre of athletes chosen to represent Australia in Penrith in 2013.
"There were some very good performances over the weekend and some close finishes as athletes stepped up to the mark for selection and there is no doubt we have selected a strong team."

Pearson Pre-service Academic Performance Assessment
Beginning April 2, 2012, the ETS Praxis I tests below will no longer be required for Admission to Teacher Education. Instead, the tests listed below, administered through Pearson Evaluation Systems as part of the Pennsylvania Educator Certification Tests (PECT), will replace the ETS Praxis I tests. These tests will be delivered as computer-based tests and are designed in a modular format with several modules comprising one full assessment. This will permit a candidate to retake a module without being required to retake the entire assessment. (PDE Weekly Emails 8-1-2011 and 9-19-2011).
The new tests include: Pre-service Academic Performance Assessment (PAPA) – This will REPLACE the Praxis I series through ETS of Mathematics, Reading, and Writing.
i. Module 1 (Code 001) – Reading
ii. Module 2 (Code 002) – Mathematics
iii. Module 3 (Code 003) – Writing
With the PECT PAPA tests, there is no Composite Score or GPA matrix available as there is in ETS Praxis I testing.
If you took the ETS Praxis I (Reading, Writing, Mathematics) test(s), and did NOT receive a passing score you will have two years from the last test date to retake the test(s), otherwise you will have to pass ALL of the PAPA series tests. (PDE Weekly Email 8-26-2011). This two year period does not affect or change any current requirements for Admission to Teacher Education or Recommendation for Student Teaching.
To register and locate testing centers for PAPA exams, go to: www.pa.nesinc.com

Off-Campus Study
Study Abroad
Any student who is considering studying abroad for a semester or academic year must first meet with the Director Of Study Abroad and Off-Campus Programs. The Office of Financial Aid will then work with the student to determine what financial aid is available for the specific program of study. Generally, the following forms of financial aid can be used to cover costs of an approved study abroad program:
Federal PELL Grant
Federal SEOG Grant
Federal Stafford Loan
PA State Grant (for other states, please check with the Office of Financial Aid)
Private Educational Loan
PLUS Loan
Perkins Loan
The use of W&J funding (grants and scholarships) to cover study abroad costs is contingent upon program approval from the Director of Study Abroad and Off-Campus Programs and the term of study. Please note that W&J funding is only awarded for a total of eight semesters.
The following financial aid programs cannot be used as a source of funding for studying abroad:
Tuition Remission
Tuition Exchange
Students wishing to study abroad during Intersession should be aware that trip costs cannot be covered by W&J funds (grants or scholarships).

Get insights and inspiration from Nemours' experts in Hematology/Oncology.
If your child is diagnosed with a pediatric blood disorder, Nemours' pediatric hematology experts are here to help. Our board-certified hematologists (pediatric hematology doctors who specialize in conditions of the blood) evaluate, diagnose, and treat all types of blood disorders in children, including sickle cell anemia.
Our family-centered approach focuses on your whole child, not just the blood disorder. In addition to specialized treatments, we offer complementary therapies to help minimize your child's fears about what's to come next. Our highly-trained team of doctors, pediatric hematology nurses, social workers, psychologists, and others on your child's care team will help guide you throughout your child's treatments.

Camp Boggy Creek: Located in Eustis, FL, this year-round, free camp works in association with the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, and is open to children between the ages of 7 and 16 diagnosed with cancer, blood disorders, and other serious illnesses, and their families.
At Nemours Children's Clinic, Jacksonville, our board-certified pediatric hematologists (doctors who specialize in treating blood disorders in children) have the experience and knowledge to meet the physical and emotional needs of your child and your family.
Children with blood disorders come to us for diagnosis and treatment, including chemotherapy, infusions, and transfusions — which we offer in the clinic's infusion room every day.
If children need to have surgery, be hospitalized, or get certain tests, they go to our partner Wolfson Children's Hospital, where our care teams also see patients, allowing us to offer the most comprehensive, high-quality care for kids with all kinds of blood disorders.

At Nemours, our federally funded Hemophilia Treatment Center is a member of Region IV South, and only one of three in Florida.
This one-of-a-kind center provides comprehensive care and education to children diagnosed with a bleeding disorder and their families. Our team also participates in comprehensive care at all Nemours locations in Florida. Our goal is to keep children diagnosed with congenital (present at birth) bleeding disorders healthy and strong while minimizing complications.
Hemophilia is an inherited, uncontrolled bleeding disorder. Children diagnosed with hemophilia either lack or have a low supply of proteins in their blood called "factors:" factor VIII or factor IX. These factors help your child's blood to clot after an injury, preventing excessive bleeding.
We may know how to treat your child's condition, but no one knows your child better than you. That's why we want you to be an active participant in the decision-making process for your child's treatment. We'll explain every step in easily understandable terms, present all options (including alternative methods), and invite your input.
Whatever you're facing, know that at Nemours we do whatever it takes to give your child the very best, most compassionate treatment possible. We treat every child as we would our own — your child, our promise.

With a grinning grill, the Peapod "car" awaits customer orders, starting April 22. The Peapod is a member of the growing class of Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs), handy for packed city traffic, college campus jaunts, or for short neighborhood treks. The quirky ride tops out at 25 mph -- the official speed limit for NEVs.
The car is a product of a Peapod Mobility, a spun-off division of Chrysler subsidiary GEM, which has been producing small electric vehicles for 10 years. GEM has had strong sales in retirement communities and levitra pfizer canada college campuses.
Peter E. Arnell, who designed the new Pepsi logo (which purportedly is us made viagra supposed to represent a grinning face), is the company's director and brand guru, which perhaps explains the weirdness attached to the vehicle. Not only bulbous, the car is a real eye catcher with a clear smile complete with headlights on www.hitlabnz.org the vehicle's bumper. The smiling theme is repeated inside the www.drk-dillenburg.de car.
The car, according to cialis 10 mg online Mr. Arnell was inspired by "Japanese bullet trains, storm troopers from the film Star Wars, space helmets and turtles."
The car retails for $12,500. It comes with some cool computerized perks -- it reports the carbon and gas money savings from each trip, once you arrive home.
Interestingly, Mr. Arnell defiantly refuses to have his vehicle referred to as a NEV, despite that being what the National Highway Transportation Safety board calls it. He calls it a "Mobi", a new brand name he dreamed up. He imagines the brand replacing the term NEV, much as "SUVs" replaced the term 4x4.
Interestingly, the WIRED story reported that the it's great! viagra online 50mg Peapod will "require" an iPod to start up. This, understandably, caused some confusion and prompted angry retorts in the comments below. However, this post from Engadget makes it clear that you certainly have the option of just using a plain old key.
The vehicle will be heavily marketed to urban green commuters and to college students. Pod pickers will see their little Peapods arrive in October… just in time for Halloween.

Woman accused of drunk driving with grandchildren in carMay 02,2013Grandma accused of drunken driving
BENNINGTON A Silver Street woman was charged with five misdemeanors on Monday after police said she had been stopped on Saturday while driving with three children in the car and a blood alcohol content more than twice the legal limit.
Evelyn L. OBrien, 53, of Bennington, pleaded innocent on Monday to two charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and three charges of reckless endangerment.
In an affidavit, Officer Joshua Stemp, of the Bennington Police Department, said he stopped OBrien around 9:10 p.m. on Saturday after watching her drive through the intersection of Main and Depot streets. According to Stemp, OBrien drifted toward the opposite lane while driving through the intersection.
During the stop, Stemp said he learned there were three children in the car, a 10-year-old, an 8-year-old and a 9-year-old. Two of the children were OBriens grandchildren and the third was a family friend.
According to the affidavit, OBriens blood alcohol content was measured at 0.176 percent at the scene of the stop around 9:25 p.m. The legal limit in Vermont is 0.08 percent. At the police station, around 10:30 p.m., OBriens blood alcohol content was measured at 0.0162 percent.
OBrien, who has no criminal record, was released without bail on Monday but ordered not to have any children younger than 18 in her vehicle when she drives.MORE IN This Just InVGS answers state Full StoryPedestrian hurt in Friday crash Full StoryFAIR HAVEN — The town of Fair Haven is planning to convert its streetlights from...

text: At what point in life do you make the decision that you want to be a parent? That question for me was answered very early in life. You see, my fathers family lived in Kansas. That meant we would take the 12 hour car ride down to visit relatives about twice a year. As you can imagine, that long of a car ride with three young boys could be quite the adventurous trip for my parents. When we arrived at the grandparents house, we would burst in like animals that had been caged all day. I dont remember exactly how old I was but during one of these visits I caught a look on my fathers face. He had this slight smirk and a certain spark in his eye. For some reason, I understood that this look was one of pride. I could see how happy he was to bring his own family to his parents. Even though we probably were acting like wild chimpanzees, that could not distract his excitement. I remember thinking, I want that. I could envision what it would be like to bring my own children to see their grandma and grandpa. I wanted to truly understand the look on my fathers face. I finally got that chance when I was able to see my father hold his first grandchild. That is a moment I will never forget and I cant help but feel that life has come full circle.

5 Earnings Short-Squeeze Plays
I would avoid CSOD or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout, and then drops below some key near-term support levels at $27.48 to $26 a share with heavy volume. If we get that action, then CSOD will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major support levels at $24.23 to its 50-day at $23.53 a share.
My final earnings short-squeeze trade idea is Solazyme (SZYM), which is set to release numbers on Wednesday after the market close. This company is in the business of transforming a range of low-cost plant-based sugars into high-value oils. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Solazyme to report revenue of $8.83 million on a loss of 38 cents per share.
This stock has been crushed by the sellers so far in 2012, with shares down by around 35%. That extreme weakness now has shares of Solazyme trending just 20 cents off its 52-week low of $7.29 a share heading into its earnings report. That weakness has also pushed this stock into oversold territory, since its current relative strength index (RSI) reading is 21.82. Oversold can always get more oversold, but it's also an area that you can see monster bounces from heavily-shorted stocks.The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Solazyme is very high at 15.7%. That means that out of the 37.55 million shares in the tradable float, 5.14 million shares are sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 24.2% or by about 1 million shares. If the bears are caught leaning too hard into this quarter, then we could easily see a monster short-squeeze develop post-earnings. From a technical perspective, SZYM is currently trading below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bearish. This stock has been downtrending badly for the last three months, with shares falling from a high of $14.23 to its recent low of $7.29 a share. During that downtrend, shares of SZYM have been consistently making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, the stock is now very oversold and could be setting up for a powerful bounce post-earnings.

Astronomers have identified a storm cell on Titan the size of the country of India. The storm system appeared in April 2008 in the moon's tropical region, an area not known for its cloudiness. Using the Gemini North Telescope and NASA Infrared Telescope Facility on Hawaii's Mauna Kea volcano, a team of astronomers from the University of Hawaii, the Lowell Observatory, and the California Institute of Technology found a significant mass of methane clouds in a cold desert area where no clouds were expected. Large cloud outbursts such as these are thought to be associated with significant amounts of precipitation and probably play a major part in shaping the geological features on the surface of Titan..
The paper, "Storms in the tropics of Titan," appears in the August 13 issue of Nature.

Publication: theday.com
New London — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said during a brief tour of Winthrop Magnet Elementary School Tuesday that the city's inclusion in a national program to extend the school day is "an exciting time for New London."
Malloy and state Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor were following up on Monday's announcement that 3,184 children in New London, Meriden and East Hartford next year will have 300 more hours of learning time added to their school year. The initiative is funded by the Ford Foundation and the National Center on Time & Learning.
New London Board of Education members, school officials and the district's special master, Steven Adamowski, also were present.
As part of the Time for Innovation Matters in Education Collaborative, school districts in five states — Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Colorado — will benefit from the program.
"This is very aggressive, which means it's very good. This should be viewed as an exciting time for New London," Malloy said.
In New London, the extra time won't necessarily come after school; it may come on weekends and during the summer.
Originally, an extended-day pilot program was supposed to be introduced at both Winthrop and Jennings elementary schools, with a possible extension into Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School, in February. But the district's Chief Academic Officer Katherine Ericson said Tuesday that the pilot program will be implemented in January and only at Bennie Dover.
Pending approval of New London's participation by the TIME Collaborative and the state, the city's three elementary schools — Winthrop, Jennings and Nathan Hale — and the middle school will begin full implementation of the extended day in the fall of 2013.
"We see expanded learning time as an extension and an opportunity that we want to create through the year to provide opportunities for success," Superintendent Nicholas A. Fischer said.
"You should never mistake literacy for smarts, and we want to maximize literacy and show people how smart our kids really are," he said.
The trick to sustaining the program beyond its initial three years of funding is to "think outside the box," Malloy said.
"The path forward is how to spend our education funds wisely," he said. "Whatever we need to do to prevail. ... A part of this is to move us beyond the idea that everything we need requires new money."
Funding for the program in New London came in the form of an $809,000 Alliance District grant, of which $120,000 will be dedicated to extended learning time. Adamowski, the special master, called the funding "a gift" to the district.
According to a press release from the National Center on Time & Learning and the Ford Foundation, the program will depend on "a mix of state and federal funding" beyond its first three years. States will receive technical assistance from NCTL and capacity-building grants from the Ford Foundation, which has committed $3 million a year during the next three years to support state efforts across the country, the press release said.
Malloy said school districts could use existing resources creatively, such as by staggering teachers' schedules.
"Not everyone needs to arrive to school at the same time. People can work different shifts, as long as it ends up being the same number of people in the building throughout the day," Malloy said.

Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
Medical Author: Benjamin C. Wedro, MD, FAAEM
Pro athletes often seem to know their bodies, and notice bodily changes early when something isn't quite right. This intuition may have led Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to seek medical help when he started to get hot flashes and night sweats last fall. Many people may have ignored these symptoms and sloughed them off as unimportant. Hot flashes may be normal for women in menopause, but not for a male basketball legend. Mr. Abdul-Jabbar's symptoms led to an early diagnosis of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).
What causes chronic myelogenous leukemia?
Chronic myelogenous leukemia is a rare type of leukemia that tends to affect older males. More than 90% of cases are due to a gene abnormality caused when two chromosomes swap sections with each other. There are 23 chromosomes in humans, and in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia chromosomes 9 and 22 within blood cells exchange bits of genetic material to form a Philadelphia chromosome, named after the city where it was discovered. The new gene on this chromosome makes a protein called tyrosine kinase that allows white blood cells to grow out of control; moreover, these abnormal white blood cells tend not to become old and die. The bone marrow, where red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are made, becomes filled with white blood cells crowding out the normal cells and damaging the bone marrow itself. This can impair the ability of the bone marrow to manufacture normal amounts of blood cells.
What are the symptoms of chronic myelogenous leukemia?
Early symptoms of chronic myelogenous leukemia include chills, sweating, fever without infection, and fatigue.
Later symptoms of chronic myelogenous leukemia are due to decreasing function of the bone marrow and include:
How is chronic myelogenous leukemia diagnosed?
The diagnosis of chronic myelogenous leukemia is usually via a blood test called a complete blood count (CBC). Complete blood count is a common blood test that measures the number, type, and characteristics of red and white blood cells and platelets. Abnormal numbers of cells being produced are noted on the CBC and chronic myelogenous leukemia is diagnosed by reviewing a smear of the blood under a microscope. A bone marrow sample examines the area where the cells are made, and if the diagnosis of chronic myelogenous leukemia is being considered, this can be tested for the Philadelphia chromosome.
What is the treatment for chronic myelogenous leukemia?
Chronic myelogenous leukemia is a treatable disease with drugs that target the abnormal enzyme responsible for the faulty white blood cells. Imatinib (Gleevec), dasatinib (Sprycel), and nilotinib (Tasigna) shut down the tyrosine kinase enzyme and can keep chronic myelogenous leukemia in remission, but once the drug is started, the patient will likely need to take the medication throughout their lifetime. If the leukemia reactivates, a next option of treatment is a bone marrow transplant, which has a long-term cure rate of 60%-80%.
What is the outlook (prognosis) for chronic myelogenous leukemia?
The ability listen to your body is an important first step in finding a problem so it can be properly diagnosed and treated. Often, chronic myelogenous leukemia is diagnosed when a patient has a routine screening blood test. It's no different than finding a problem when taking your car in for an oil change; if a problem is found early the car can be fixed. However, if the problem is ignored, issues mount and the car engine cannot be repaired. People are no different. Ignoring warning signs and symptoms can make a treatable condition terminal. For Mr. Abdul-Jabbar and the 5,000 new chronic myelogenous leukemia patients diagnosed each year, the hope is that medication can keep them treatable for years to come.

MS VISTA User with Trendmicrocilin anti-virus. DESKTOPSMILEY infection.
Our computer connects to the internet, but will not display any sites. It appears that a great deal of traffic is going through our computer. URL's try to be directed to a "desktopsmiley" prefix. We can not ping our own DNS server ! However, using DOS can ping sites such as Google, etc.
We uninstalled DeskTopSmiley, System Seach Dispatcher and Media Access Starup. We blocked DesktopSmiley in our start up.
We changed DNS address through our provider.
There are 5 computers on the network. 2 run Trendmicrocilin. 3 run McCafee. Only 1 cannot connect and it is running Trendmicro.
One advice is to restore to factory settings, reload all program, set up the network (the infected computer is the host)....but this sounds drastic.
Another advice is to run CLAMWIN - but cannot tell if this will just detect the virus or resolve the virus.
HELP NEEDED - I am not very good at computers !!!!

Montreal Canadiens defenceman P.K. Subban suffered a lower body injury playing for Canada in a pre-tournament tune-up game against Switzerland on Sunday ahead of the World Championship, but said after the game it wasn't serious.
Subban left the game a few minutes after colliding with Swiss defenceman Luca Sbisa midway through the first period.
Post game, the 22-year-old said the trainers kept him out for precautionary reasons and that the injury was "something new," indicating it had nothing to do with the back problems he had throughout the regular season with Montreal this year.
Canada head coach Brent Sutter says Subban will be re-evaluated on Monday and may just rest the next couple of days.
Canada won the game 2-1 in a shootout, with Jordan Eberle scoring the lone shootout goal.

A Phoenix radio personality has died in Arizona shortly after contracting flu-like symptoms while visiting Florida during the holidays.
Stephen Seravalli, known as Deejay Trauma on Phoenix's Power 98.3, died at his Phoenix home over the weekend. He was 38.
Operations director Marc Young of Phoenix-based Riviera Broadcasting confirmed Seravalli's death, but had no additional information.
Seravalli had previously worked at WiLD 94.1 in Tampa Bay from 1999 to 2008. Former colleagues say they saw Seravalli just a few weeks ago before he returned to Arizona with what he thought was a bad case of the flu.
"Just a really really great friend, a great man a wonderful father, and you know he's really really going to be missed," said DJ Coz by phone. "He's the kind of person that would come into a room and he would absolutely light the room up with his personality, and he had a very infectious laugh that he was known for in this area, and I'm not sure if it made it to the Phoenix airwaves or not, but anybody that knew him knew that that was his signature laugh."
An autopsy is planned.
A Celebration of Life service is scheduled for Jan. 22 in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Card companies focus on the wealthy
Issuers market new premium cards
This post comes from James Limbach at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
If you're an affluent American, chances are you've seen more offers of MasterCard World or Visa Signature -- the so-called premium credit cards -- in your mailbox recently.
Mintel Comperemedia, a provider of direct-marketing information, reports that credit card issuers are advertising more premium cards in an effort to attract the best customers.
In the second quarter of this year, credit card issuers sent 28% more marketing direct-mail offers for premium cards than they did the quarter before. This occurred even as issuers reduced credit card offers as a whole by 8%.
Even more, credit card companies have sent a steady number of premium card offers since early 2008 while slashing direct mail for general cards. In the first half of 2009, premium cards accounted for 19% of mail campaigns tracked by Mintel, compared with just 9% in the first half of last year.
"Credit card companies are competing to attract people with high credit scores and big spending habits," said Andrew Davidson, senior vice president of Mintel. "Because premium credit cards often have high associated fees and low risk, issuers see them as an excellent way to restore profitability in today's economy."
Credit card issuers are also competing by introducing new premium cards. High-profile cards launched since the beginning of the downturn include Chase Sapphire, the Visa Black Card and the American Express Hilton Honors Surpass Card.
Mintel's Davidson sees the focus on premium cards as positive. "Credit card issuers are beginning to expand with more credit and products for the affluent," he said. "It won't be long before this trickles down and we start seeing greater credit card marketing to all consumers."

The Southeast economy in 2010 was much like the nation's, only more so.
Simply put, we have a steeper climb ahead. After weathering the past four national recessions comparatively well, the Southeast may have paid in the most recent downturn for its past successes. Rapid population growth and its attendant industries, such as construction and retail, powered the region's bellwether states of Florida and Georgia through earlier national slumps. But as the Southeast lived by the hammer, this time it was hammered by the hammer. Florida and Georgia suffered severe housing market woes, widespread job losses, and numerous bank failures. Florida alone accounted for an outsized 50-plus percent of the region's employment losses during the recession. The state was home to about 40 percent of all jobs in the Southeast as of November 2007, the month before the recession officially started.
Certainly, 2010 brought some encouragement, but the year was one step in what promises to be a long recovery. Small improvements emerged in the region's major economic sectors, including banking and credit markets, tourism, and energy production. Auto manufacturing was a standout. The region's assembly plants and the parts makers added 1,000 jobs, bringing the regional total to 75,000, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, or BLS. Three more assembly plants will open in the region in 2011 and 2012.
The bigger picture, however, remained clouded. The Southeast's progress was hindered by several intertwined forces: tepid employment growth, general economic uncertainty that restrained consumer and business spending, challenging banking conditions, and still-sickly housing markets in the region's largest states and metropolitan areas.
In this report, we examine the region's economic fortunes in 2010. We also explore the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's efforts to cultivate a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics underlying this performance and the ways in which monetary policy can make a difference. More specifically, we address the vexing problem of persistent unemployment in the Southeast, banking conditions, and the role of small business in job creation and economic recovery. In this report, "Southeast" refers to the six states of the Sixth Federal Reserve District in their entirety: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

ST.PAUL, Minn. (KFGO AM) -- The 2014 Minnesota Legislature opens one week from today, and it's looking like Democrats will try again to pass a minimum wage increase.
They weren't able to agree on it last year.
House Republican Minority Leader Kurt Daudt argues a better approach is to create an environment where businesses provide more job opportunities.
Democrats say there's no evidence that a minimum wage increase will result in job losses.
Republicans want to repeal three business-to-business taxes the DFL-controlled legislature passed last session.

Mental health care not meeting VA standards
Friday - 10/28/2011, 1:37pm EDT
RAND studied the mental health services veterans with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, major depression and substance use disorders received from the Veterans Health Administration. From 2004-2008, the number of veterans seeking treatment for these conditions increased by 38.5 percent.
Dr. Kate Watkins, a senior natural scientist at RAND and principal author of the Mental Health Program Evaluation, told Federal News Radio where the VA has been successful, where it has fallen short and how much treatment costs for veterans with these diagnoses.
The study was commissioned by VA under the Government Performance and Results Act.

is_page() cannot identify a page that has buddypress activity assigned to it
I have a static front page with slug of, say, site-stream, and I have the buddypress activity page assigned to that same page.
That assignment for some reason stops the is_page('page-1′, 'page-2′, 'site-stream') test from working (it recognises page-1 and page-2 no problem, but not 'site-stream'. The problem persists even if I replace 'site-stream' with the correct page ID.)
The issue is resolved if I uninstall buddypress, it recognises either the slug or ID.
What term/slug should I be searching on for is_page() to recognise the page when I have the buddypress activity page assigned to it? (Not 'activity', I tried that.)
I'm using WP 3.5.1 and BP 1.7.

- Facebook. Yeah, it's the place where you post pictures of your summer vacation and share kitten videos with your friends. But it's also increasingly a place where employers can check up on you, and you can make valuable employment connections. Only put things on Facebook that you're comfortable with an employer seeing, or else create different privacy settings for friends and the general public.
Résumés, interviews, potential careers, and more information
It doesn't do you much good to find the perfect job if your résumé and interview skills aren't ready to impress. Make yourself look great with these resources, plus research what career paths might be right for you.

Charter schools started as an experiment, but over the last two decades, the innovative academies, which operate independently of local school committees and teachers' unions, have become an established source of new strategies. Longer school days, intensive tutoring, and other ways to improve student performance have grown out of charter schools. Not every charter offers a better opportunity for needy urban children than their district schools, but parents clearly deserve the choice.
Now a coalition of education reformers is pushing to eliminate the cap on charters in the lowest-performing districts. Given the deficiencies of schools in those cities, and the frustratingly slow pace of reform in districts such as Boston, more charter schools will provide crucial opportunities for urban families. With a rigorous new study corroborating the significant learning gains Massachusetts charter schools impart, the time has come to remove the cap in those districts, which include New Bedford, Fall River, Brockton, Boston, Chelsea, Everett, Lynn, Lawrence, Lowell, Fitchburg, Haverhill, Worcester, Springfield, Chicopee, and Holyoke.
