Forget rosy jobs data: Layoffs persist
Pepsi and Boeing announce big cuts and take the air out of positive payroll news.
Wall Street received news Thursday of positive jobs numbers in a private-sector payroll report from ADP. Specifically, jobs increased 325,000 in December, led by the service sector and small businesses. Additionally, November's employment numbers were revised slightly higher.
But lest you think everything is coming up roses, keep in mind that many big corporations are still reluctant to hire. In fact, they continue to cut back based on some of the recent headlines.
For starters, PepsiCo (PEP) is considering cutting about 4,000 jobs, according to the New York Post. Citing inside sources, the paper also said Pepsi may reduce pension contributions in order to boost its earnings.
And Kansas employees of Boeing (BA) will be looking for work soon. The aircraft maker will be out of Wichita entirely by 2013, leaving more than 2,100 workers in the lurch. Boeing has called Kansas home since the 1920s but decided the facility no longer allows the company to produce planes competitively in the current market.
While the ADP improvement is mildly encouraging and the drop in unemployment from above 9% to the mid-8% levels is nice, these mass layoffs show that the labor market still has a long way to go.
What's more, these cuts signal what is likely a disturbing trend in corner offices beyond those at just Pepsi and Boeing. Aerospace workers nationwide are bracing for protracted cuts in Pentagon spending as federal budget cuts take center stage in this election year.
The Boeing headline is worrying to workers at competitors like Lockheed Martin (LMT) and Northrop Grumman (NOC), but perhaps of greater concern is that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is reviewing plans to trim $450 billion from the military budget over the next 10 years. Military contractors have begun to consolidate manufacturing facilities and eliminate thousands of jobs from coast to coast in anticipation of this plan.
As for Pepsi, the company employs about 300,000 workers globally, so the layoff might seem small-time. Pepsi is sitting on eight consecutive quarters of year-over-year revenue gains and is on track to see its fiscal 2011 earnings jump about 37% from 2008 numbers.
So Pepsi isn't in dire straits. It's just squeezing employees to impress Wall Street because it lacks confidence. And lets face it, confidence is the only thing that will ever save this economy.
Pleasant jobs reports like the one from ADP are nice, but workers need to read between the lines. The sad reality is that while small businesses might be hiring and more jobs in the service industry might be available, blue-chip corporations continue to slash costs and benefits to improve their profits.

Also the Postal Service is closing half of their distribution centers which will prompt massive lay-offs. Yet mainstream media is still trying to convince the sheeple that the employment picture is improving. Sure, just like:
War is peace
ignorance is strength
slavery is freedom
I think you get the idea.........
I'm don't think many of us believe in "announced" figures anymore. Anyone living in the real world, including the author in his private life, knows nothing much is happening outside the fantasies of hype land. The numbers are manipulated to present whatever the present political agenda is. Employment figures are, literally, a joke to any thinking person.
I wonder what it's like to wake up in the morning realizing with the thought "aw ****, I gotta write something today and it has to be positive". Called creative writing. But it pays the bills, draws advertisers and give one something to do.
Untold millions of us are abandoning the mass media. Personally, I've spent considerable time finding people who have their feet on the ground and are writing about things I'm seeing in the world around me.
The U.S. allows guest workers from Mexico to work here in an obscure setup where by the company sponsers them. These are not low paying service jobs. I am an A&P mechanic who works on the planes you fly in. My last manager was a Mexican citizen. Over a quarter of the work force were Mexican nationals. Basically it keeps wages low. The pay for professional aircraft mechanics is about the same as it was in 1991 when I got my FAA license. Factor in inflation and you can see my point. I think the occupy wall streeters had a good point. It,s the corporations that are starving us to death with the help of our elected officals they own. This is not America!
these other countries don't have to attack us, just keep encouraging the outsourcing of cheap labor to areas out of the united states and we will self implode.
I'm afraid you're mistaken, RICH NYC.
It's become a regular thing for the Obama Administration to make announcements about improvement in job creation, consumer spending, GDP growth, etc.
They know that they can depend on their media wh0res (like NBC) to splash the "good news on the economic front" all over the place.
Then, a couple of weeks later, there is usually a quiet announcement, most often late in the day on a Friday, "adjusting" the numbers downward. Of course, these "adjustments' get very little media attention.
getting rid of good paying middle class jobs with benefits.
but hey lets all be happy. they are creating poverty level jobs
with no benefits or retirement. hooray for corporate america
and wall street.
usairways just got rid of good paying jobs in seven cities, the work is still
there, its just now being done by a british company with SCAB labor, paying $7.50 hr with no
benefits, because of two rounds of bankruptsy and paid off judges to
bust union contracts. by the way usair is making money, no justification for doing what they did.
except maybe to keep giving astronomical bonuses to the executive "talent pool" that put them in bankruptcy in the first place.
Don't worry as our economy continues to lay off skilled workers due to government policies and the economy worsens, our labor costs will be so low, since only low tech jobs will be available, and then in 20 years our children can be the ones making clothes pins for the world
Pepsi may reduce pension contributions in order to boost its earnings. nice!! screw the workers first and foremost for earnings.
eight consecutive quarters of year-over-year revenue gains and is on track to see its fiscal 2011 earnings jump about 37% from 2008 numbers.
how much more earning do they need or due they just want to move jobs over sea's.
sorry people keep eating them fatty food snack and slurping down the teeth rotten junk.
I love the Americans who complain about their jobs being outsourced. They complain when their jobs go to a third world country but when they go shopping they buy their clothing made in the 3rd world, groceries from outside the USA, electronics from Asia, refuse to drive an American car, and all home improvement products and tools from Asia, and major appliances from outside the USA. I guess they feel that their job is special and should not be outsourced but screw everyone else's job because I am special and I did get a good deal.
Hell, look at the last election. We had a war hero who was shot down in enemy territory over Vietnam, captured, and tortured. The brilliant American public who did not like Bush and Dick Cheney decided to vote for Dick Cheney's cousin, the radical black that hates whites, did not grow up in the US, was friends with Bill Ayers, and maybe not even a Natural Born US Citizen since his father was not a citizen at birth. The idiots that hated Cheney went and voted for his puppet cousin who carried on his agenda.
At the same time these flag waving idiots in this country keep telling everyone to love and respect veterans but they pissed on a war hero during the last election and elected the opposite. I guess the American public should keep watching football and reality shows, reading people and worrying about who some actress or actor is screwing.
Rather than reading People or propoganda from Repubs and Dems or watching idiots on MSNBC or FOX, try reading the Constitution.
Now that Christmas is over, wait for January numbers.
Jobs should only be those that provide an income that would allow a single income to support a family of 4, Any thing less would have to be negative growth.
Why are temp jobs even counted? Why not base job growth on income taxes collected each week? At least you would have a better look at the increase of income and if people are going to buy more and generate new growth.
"So Pepsi isn't in dire straits. It's just squeezing employees to impress Wall Street because it lacks confidence"
And people continue to CON others by saying that Wall Street isn't in control. Another 4000 people losing their jobs ONLY to boost the bottom line to WALL STREET doesn't punish their stock, so the PIG FAT PIGS at the top can enjoy a nice huge BONUS check.
Yup. More of that trickle down economics creating jobs lying CON party squabble again. Pepsi is sitting on 8 quarters of year over year revenue gains, and revenue is up 37% since 2008. Yes, sounds like a company in financial trouble that needs to cut costs.
Maybe we should all boycott Pepsi products, now. BOA reversed their Debit Fee. Verizon reversed their $2.00 "pay by CC" fee. All because of public outrage.
Let Pepsi's 8-quarter continued sales growth end and give them a real reason to cut costs... Like the bonus checks and benefits package of their big fat PIGS.

Logano's late move gets him victory at RichmondThe Associated Press | April 27,2014RICHMOND, Va. Joey Logano punched his ticket to NASCARS playoffs. Marcos Ambrose punched Casey Mears.
Logano used a savvy move to get around three dueling former champions in the final laps Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway, and the classic short-track ending caused tempers to flare in a big way in the garage afterward.
The biggest skirmish had Marcos Ambrose, who finished 18th, confronting Casey Mears, who was 19th. Mears first pushed Ambrose out of the way, and Ambrose retaliated with a thundering punch in the face that appeared to draw blood.
It was unclear what caused the two to confront each other, but NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said the governing body would review the matter.
Logano, meanwhile, needed 26 races and two trips to Richmond before putting himself in NASCARs playoff last season. There will be no such nail-biting this year, and it took just one Richmond race to make it so.
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver took advantage of the late-race duel to grab the lead and then outran former champions Matt Kenseth, Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski. Loganos second victory essentially assured him a spot in the 10-race Chase for the championship, which he only achieved on his last chance a year ago.
Loganos first career victory on the 0.75-mile oval came when Gordon, Kenseth and Keselowski raced in a triangle jockeying for position, and Logano went underneath all three and held off Gordon for his fifth career Sprint Cup victory.
Im more surprised than anyone else here, Logano said. This is one of my worst tracks. ... What a crazy finish.
It got crazier afterward, with Keselowski vowing to remember how Kenseth blocked him from a chance at winning.
I had a shot at winning the race and felt like he ran me off the track, said Keselowski, who was fifth on the final restart, but had the fastest car on short runs all night. You race to win and he definitely was racing to win, but you hope when somebody races to win that they at least win the race if theyre going to wreck you or run you off the race track.
It was just a mind-boggling move to me, but I made sure I got him back and made sure my teammate could win the race. ... I thought it was uncalled for. ... Just got to put that in the bank and remember it, Keselowski said.
Gordon said Kenseth was just doing what he needed to do to try and hang on.
I think Matt did what he thought he had to do to win, Gordon said. He started making his car real wide. He probably didnt make the guys behind him real happy.
Kenseth had come from nowhere after lurking in the back of the top 10 all race long, suddenly charging through the field and passing Gordon to grab the lead with 38 laps to go. It was his first lead.
I was trying to win the race. I think thats what all five of us were trying to do, Kenseth said.
Logano, meanwhile, looks forward to the next 15 races knowing hes already got a spot in the playoffs.
At this point, we really have nothing to lose, Logano said of the remaining 15 races before the Chase field is set. Its all about going for wins and having fun out there and making sure were ready for when the Chase starts.
Gordon said the three-way battle helped create the opening for Logano.
I was really just trying to battle with those guys to get the best finish that we could, Gordon said. (Logano) was in a great position while we were all sitting there sliding around battling it out. To come home second is still a great finish.
Kyle Busch, never in contention, rose to finish third, followed by Keselowski and Kenseth.
That last restart was intense. ... I just drove by everybody, Busch said.
Gordon, who led 173 laps, and teammate Earnhardt both seemed poised to challenge at the end, but after the final restart, Team Penske teammates Logano and Keselowski became the ones to watch.
Their cars had easily been the fastest on fresh rubber all night, so much so that Gordon said, I just had to let the 2 and the 22 go right by me because they were so fast on fresh tires.
Signs of the wild ending may have come very early.
Clint Bowyer started third and hoped a return to one of his best tracks would allow him to put last September behind him. That was when Bowyers intentional spin late in the last race before the playoffs jumbled the finishing order, and the drivers who made the Chase, leading to a NASCAR investigation.
Instead of a clean run, Bowyer hit rookie pole-sitter Kyle Larson on the opening lap, sending Larson spinning. He also twice pitted under a green flag, right before a caution flag came out, and was battling Danica Patrick for 38th place when a fire in his engine ultimately caused him to park for the night.MORE IN Wire SportsCHARLOTTE, N.C.

Web Friendly File Names
When uploading files to ANGEL, make sure your filename is 'Web-friendly'. Web-friendly filenames are file names which Web servers support. Although there are variations depending on the Web server, it is best practice to:
Supported File Formats
Working with other File Formats:
If you are trying to share a file not on the supported file list you will first need to 'zip'(compressed, universal file format) the file. You can do this by control clicking on the file on a mac and selecting "Create archive of x" or right clicking on windows and selecting "Add to -> Compressed (zipped) folder." Once zipped, you will be able to upload and share the file with others in the class. They can download it and open the file in its native application.
When you archive the file, a .zip file replaces your original file or folder. When you open an archived item, the archive is replaced by a folder that contains uncompressed copies of the original files.

Considering how much he uses his legs, the knee injury sustained by the Redskins' Robert Griffin III could have a devastating effect on his career. But several elite quarterbacks have rebounded immediately from severe injuries. Griffin's might be worse, but here are five.
5. Randall Cunningham (1991) ?»
The Philadelphia quarterback suffered a torn ACL in Week 1 but came back -- albeit with less mobility -- to lead the Eagles to the playoffs in 1992 and win the NFL comeback player of the year award.
4. Dan Marino (1993) » The Hall of Famer went down with a torn Achilles at 32. Marino returned to lead the Dolphins to the playoffs in 1994, winning the comeback player of the year award and making the Pro Bowl that year and the next.
3. Michael Vick (2003) » In an exhibition game, Vick fractured his fibula. He returned late in the year, and the next season Vick led the Falcons to the playoffs and made the Pro Bowl.
2. Tom Brady (2008) »
He had reconstructive surgery on his left knee after tearing his ACL and MCL in the 2008 season opener. Brady was named the 2009 comeback player of the year and has made the Pro Bowl in all four seasons since.
1. Peyton Manning (2011) »
He sat out the entire season after having neck-fusion surgery, returning this year to rank second with a 105.8 passer rating. He led the Broncos to 11 straight wins and the top seed in the AFC playoffs.

Actress Kareena Kapoor, who tied the knot with actor Saif Ali Khan four months ago, will be busy shooting for Prakash Jha's film, "Satyagraha", in Bhopal on Valentine's Day (Feb 14).

The actress, who is fond of diamonds, said there was no special day to gift diamonds.
"There is no special day to gift diamonds to a women. So there is no particular day. Any time, whenever he (Saif) feels like.

For how long have you been making hot sauce?
Endorphin Farms has been operating and making hot sauce for 13 years. Personally I have been making hot sauce for about 17 years.
What are your most popular products?
Hard to say for sure, we produce products for so many different companies. Our "niche" would be gourmet hot sauces. Being located in Saint Augustine, Florida we love datil peppers. Datil products would probably be our most popular. We try to maintain a small batch flavor and still produce it consistently and quickly.
How did you get started making hot sauce?
First in a restaurant I was working at in high school. Then I got a job in a gourmet food store that specialized spicy foods, we sold a ton of hot sauce. I started getting ideas from all of these sauces, and even started collecting sauces. Funny thing is now I batch, cook, and bottle the sauce for that restaurant and some of the sauces I used to sell. Life is neat like that!
When did you go commercial?
13 years ago we switched the focus of Endorphin Farms from farming to bottling hot sauce.
How many bottles of hot sauce do you produce a year?
Not trying to dodge the question, but quite a bit. We are larger than some smaller co-packers and smaller than some big ones. Last year we produced between 3 to 4 million bottles of hot sauce, bbq sauce, salsa, and salad dressing.
Do you have a preferred chili pepper as an ingredient?
I love all of them. Overall the datil is my favorite but I often go through stages of pepper use. Right now I can't get enough of the chocolate habanero, I am using it on everything. I love Trinidad scorpions, Bhut Jolokias, Jalapenos, Chile De Arbol and Orange Habaneros too.
Aside from chili peppers, what do you feel is the key ingredient(s) in making the perfect hot sauce?
Love, passion and creativity. That to me is what sets aside good from great or perfect. I often tell my customers how much I love making sauce, and to keep it fun! If you are not having fun doing it, stop. What could be more fun really? We are talking about hot sauce, food, endorphins, and friends! People with common interests creating and coming up with awesome products. Sorry I get on a roll and rant a little.
Is there a special process you follow in making your hot sauces?
Temp and Ph. Those are the two keys in our process. We are an FDA approved facility for producing thermally processed goods. The process is very important for consumer safety.
Do you follow a particular philosophy to making hot sauces?
Make it right. We produce sauces for a lot of people all over the world. We want to make the sauce correctly for our customers. I would rather throw out a batch that isn't correct than to try to "jam" my customer with it. I can get almost anyone to come here and have us bottle their sauce once. Getting them to come back for a second run, that is how we know we are doing it right! It has to be a partnership between us (the co-packer) and the customer.
Do you have any other favorite spicy foods?
You name it, I love it. I love to travel and try all of the local fare. I always gravitate towards the spicy stuff. I often try to see what and where the locals eat, I go and ask for the hot stuff!
Do you have any advice for would-be hot sauce makers making sauces at home?
Safety should be the first order of business. By a thermometer and a Ph meter and do some research. Once you know how to make a safe sauce, go nuts! It is limitless the ingredients and the ideas. Just when I think I have seen it all, someone comes in with a sauce that blows my mind! I think "Wow, I never thought of that!". Have fun and enjoy the process of creating.
Do you have any basic/favorite hot sauce recipes to share?
This isn't a hot sauce recipe, but it is a spicy recipe that is un-real! Go to your favorite grocery store and pick up wonton wrappers. Take the wrappers and inside put some Zane & Zacks Hellfire cream cheese. Seal up the wonton and fry in some oil till golden brown. Place on a plate and smother in Heartbreaking Dawns Datil Trail Preserves (Fiery Trail preserves are great too) You will not believe how good it is!
Imagine this sad reality: If you could have only one chili pepper the rest of your life, which would you choose?
Datil Pepper. I know it is not widely used outside of Florida, but it should be! It is an awesome little pepper. Flavor, heat, and versatility. Love it!
If your life could be turned into a movie, who would you like to have play YOU on the big screen? What might the movie TITLE be?
The name of the movie would be: "What a long, strange, HOT, Trip it has been!" In the role of Adam would be….Brad Pitt circa 1992 from Legends of the Fall. (cause my wife always gasps when she sees him in that movie!)
Any other parting thoughts?
The one thing this business has taught me is, I am really blessed and lucky. I get to work with and for some awesome people. I get to make and eat some of the best sauces in the world! I get to meet, eat with, talk with, drink with, and hang out with some of the best people in the world. Go to the spicy food events and try and buy products you like. Some of these people put everything into creating a product for a stranger to try and enjoy! It's like music for your mouth, enjoy the every note!

Keiton Page scored a career-high 40 points to help lead Oklahoma State to a 90-78 victory over Texas Saturday in Stillwater.
The senior guard from Pawnee was a perfect 20-of-20 from the free throw line, 8-of-14 from the field and 4-of-8 from three-point range. In addition, as the point guard, he didn't have a single turnover in the game.
Page scored 27 of his points in the first half as OSU (13-14 overall, 6-8 Big 12 Conference) went to the locker room ahead 51-39.
The Longhorns (17-7, 7-7) cut the lead to four in the second half on J'Covan Brown's lay-up with 9:14 to play, but Page responded with a three-pointer that sparked a 10-1 run.
Texas got no closer than six the rest of the way.
Joining Page in double figures for the Pokes was Le'Bryan Nash with 18. Michael Cobbins and Markel Brown also reached double digits, each scoring 12.
Myck Kabongo led Texas with 22.
Up next for the Cowboys is Wednesday's Bedlam battle in Norman against an OU team that has lost six straight games.

YOUTUBE – Skype, the video conferencing service, apparently isn't just for humans. Dogs can get a little chatty over the web, too.
The YouTube video "My dog can Skype!" has more almost 600,000 views since it was uploaded on Jan. 11. The video's owner writes, "This is Gaytor, our wire haired fox terrier. When he isn't constantly growling, or being a butt head, he enjoys skyping other dogs. (The video we showed him was already on youtube!)"
No further explanation necessary. You're going to love this.

The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education approved St. Landry Parish's future plans for Creswell Elementary.
BESE unanimously voted Wednesday afternoon to allow St. Landry Parish to convert the Creswell Elementary school building into a virtual learning academy for seventh through twelve graders and an accelerated recovery program for fifth grade students.
Lottie P. Beebe, District three board member on BESE, says members thought the plan approved by the St. Landry Parish School Board was in the best interest of students.
Creswell has been determined by BESE as an academically unacceptable school for over four years. The St. Landry School Board voted March to close the school and transfer the students to Park Vista Elementary.
