My New Year's resolutions include the usual suspects. This will be the fifth year in a row that I probably won't be reading "War and Peace" and about the 20th that I won't be flossing daily.
But not a month into the new year, I've already tackled my vow to get rid of stuff that I no longer need. I've finally gotten brutal about my books, taking boxes of them to my local library. (The problem with this is I buy more books at their weekly sales.)

The term concussion conjures up the image of someone knocked unconscious while playing sports. But concussions temporary loss of brain function can happen with any head injury, often without any loss of consciousness.
A concussion is also known as a mild traumatic brain injury. Although we usually hear about head injuries in athletes, many occur off the playing field in car and bicycle accidents, in fights, and even minor falls.
Kids who sustain concussions usually recover within a week or two without lasting health problems by following certain precautions and taking a breather from sports.
But a child with an undiagnosed concussion can be at risk for brain damage and even disability.
Anyone who sustains a head injury should stop participating and be removed from the activity or sport. Even without a loss of consciousness, it's important to watch for symptoms of a concussion.
Common initial symptoms include:
- a change in level of alertness
- extreme sleepiness
- a bad headache
- confusion
- repeated vomiting
- seizure
Someone with these symptoms should be taken to the emergency room.
About Concussions
The brain is made of soft tissue and is cushioned by spinal fluid. It is encased in the hard, protective skull. The brain can move around inside the skull and even bang against it. If the brain does bang against the skull for example, due to a fall on a sidewalk or a whiplash-type of injury it can be bruised, blood vessels can be torn, and the nerves inside the brain can be injured. These injuries can lead to a concussion.
Many different systems have been used to grade or describe concussions. The severity of a concussion is determined by how long signs and symptoms last and so can only be known after someone has recovered. The longer the symptoms of changes in brain function, the more severe the concussion.
Signs and Symptoms of a Concussion
Someone with a concussion may lose consciousness, but this doesn't happen in every case. In fact, a brief loss of consciousness or "blacking out" isn't a factor in determining concussion severity.
Other signs of a concussion include:
- headache
- sleepiness or difficulty falling asleep
- feeling confused and dazed
- difficulty concentrating, thinking, or making decisions
- dizziness
- difficulty with coordination or balance (such as being able to catch a ball or other easy tasks)
- trouble remembering things, such as what happened right before or after the injury
- blurred vision
- slurred speech or saying things that don't make sense
- nausea and vomiting
- feeling anxious or irritable for no apparent reason
Concussion symptoms may not appear initially and can develop over the first 24-72 hours. Anyone showing any of these signs should be seen by a doctor. Young kids can have the same concussion symptoms as older kids and adults, but changes in mood and behavior may be more subtle.
Call an ambulance or go to the ER right away if, after a head injury, your child:
- can't be awakened
- has one pupil the dark part of the eye that's larger than the other
- has convulsions or seizures
- has slurred speech
- seems to be getting more confused, restless, or agitated
Though most kids recover quickly from concussions, some symptoms including memory loss, headaches, and problems with concentration may linger for several weeks or months. Nearly 15% of kids age 5 and older have symptoms and/or changes in functioning lasting 3 months or longer. It's important to watch for these symptoms and contact your doctor if they persist.
If a concussion is suspected, the doctor will ask about how the head injury happened, when, and its symptoms. The doctor also may ask basic questions to gauge your child's consciousness, memory, and concentration ("Who are you?"/"Where are you?"/"What day is it?").
The diagnosis of a concussion is made by health care provider based on history and physical exam. The doctor will perform a thorough examination of the nervous system, including testing balance, coordination, nerve function, and reflexes.
Sometimes a doctor may order a CT scan of the brain (a detailed brain X-ray) or an MRI (a non-X-ray brain image) to rule out bleeding or other serious brain injury. Concussions can change the way the brain works, but in most cases, imaging tests will show normal results.
If the concussion is not serious enough to require hospitalization, the doctor will provide instructions on how to take care of your child at home. The doctor may have you wake your child up at least once during the night.
If your child cannot be easily awakened, becomes increasingly confused, or has other symptoms (such as continued vomiting), it may mean there is a more serious problem that requires contacting the doctor again.
The primary treatments for a concussion include both physical and mental rest. While your child has symptoms, he or she should not:
- attend school or have a normal workload
- take any high-stakes testing (for example, state testing, PSATs, SATs, etc.)
- participate in physical activity including gym class, recess, and sports
- participate in wheel activities (for example, biking, rollerblading, scootering, or skateboarding)
- drive or operate heavy machinery
- return to work
After a concussion, the brain needs time to heal. Recovery time will depend on how long the symptoms last. It's very important for kids to wait until all symptoms have ended before resuming normal activities. Physical symptoms, balance and coordination, and thinking and personality all should return to the pre-injury level.
Be sure to get the OK from the doctor before your child resumes sports or other physical activities. Sometimes kids feel better even though their thinking, behavior, and/or balance have not yet returned to normal. Even if your child pleads that he or she feels fine or a competitive coach or school official urges you to go against medical instructions, it's essential to wait until the doctor has given the OK.
Healthy kids can usually resume their normal activities within a few weeks, but each situation is different. The doctor will monitor your child closely to ensure that recovery is going well and might recommend acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or other aspirin-free medications for headaches.
Even mild concussions require a player to sit out for the remainder of the game. People are much more likely to sustain a concussion if they've had one previously. And evidence shows that repeated concussions can result in lasting brain damage, even when the injuries occur months or years apart.
Kids who have resumed normal activities and no longer have symptoms might be allowed to slowly return to sports. This is a gradual process that can take anywhere from a few days to weeks. A person should never return to play or other strenuous activities on the same day of the injury and should see a doctor.
Preventing Concussions
All kids should wear properly fitting, appropriate headgear and safety equipment when biking, rollerblading, skateboarding, snowboarding or skiing, and playing contact sports. Safety gear has been shown to reduce the occurrence of severe head trauma.
Childproofing your home will go a long way toward keeping an infant or toddler safe from concussions and other injuries. Babies reach, grasp, roll, sit, and eventually crawl, pull up, "cruise" along furniture, and walk. Toddlers may pull themselves up using table legs; they'll use bureaus and dressers as jungle gyms; they'll reach for whatever they can see.
All of these activities can result in a head injury that leads to a concussion. Be sure your child has a safe place to play and explore, and never leave a baby or toddler unattended.
The time you spend taking these safety precautions and getting your kids into the habit of abiding by your safety rules and regulations will help keep your family safe and sound!

A mother and her two-year-old son were wounded during a drive-by shooting in the West Englewood neighborhood Sunday night.
The 26-year-old woman and the boy were sitting in a parked van in the 1700 block of West 73rd when they were struck by bullets fired from a passing, dark-colored van about 6 p.m., police said.
The woman was shot in the right wrist. The 2-year-old suffered a gunshot wound to the leg. Both are listed in "stable" condition, police said.
The two were initially taken to Holy Cross Hospital, but later transferred to Mount Sinai Hospital.

The Heat is On
There's no guarantee that Dany Heatley is going to be an Edmonton Oiler later this month, but there are some interesting and possibly frightening items reaching the Al Gore this morning. Two different articles on the internet speak to the Oilers devotion to acquiring another big ticket and also the level of involvement Daryl Katz has in the wheeling and dealing. The first comes from Jason Gregor and includes the following:
- I've been told that Daryl Katz is prepared to do whatever it takes to try and land Heatley. He has given Steve Tambellini the green light to put together a package that will ensure Bryan Murray doesn't overlook them.
Jason goes on to say that it sounds like Katz would be willing to hide a salary in the minors. Not Horcoff or Penner, but possibly Robert Nilsson or Ethan Moreau or Steve Staios, although in the case of the latter two that would be extremely unlikely.
Jim Matheson's article in the EJ is here. In it he explains the possible cost:
- Murray isn't saying anything, but he would likely have to retrieve (a) a puck-moving defenceman to help Filip Kuba, Chris Campoli and young Swede Erik Karlsson, (b) a young top-six winger with a scoring touch, and (c) a first-round draft pick, probably in the top 10.
Matty then suggests Tom Gilbert might fill column A, Cogliano or O'Sullivan could solve column B and the Oilers do own the 10th overall pick.
That seems pretty rich to me, but possibly if the Senators supplied Edmonton with another pick (they own the 39th pick, as an example) it could be evened up. I'd hope that Gilbert and Cogliano would be enough and honestly wouldn't offer more, because despite Heatley's obvious talents he's a very expensive player on a club that already has a top-heavy problem ala the NY Rangers (and frankly, the current Ottawa Senators).
If you have that many players making 5+ million, then you need a bunch of very good value contracts at 1M or less in order to compete. The Oilers don't have that, and they also don't have a goaltender and they lack a veteran center. Better to stay the course, I'd say. Anything beyond Gilbert and Cogliano (and that is a massive amount of talent leaving town, plus one exceptional value contract and another who will cover the bet) would seem to be overkill.
I do think it's time to start thinking about Heatley being an Oiler, though. When the owner says "make it so" then the GM has his marching orders. And that issue is for another time, but this is twice now (the other being Laraque at Body by Bennett) the owner has been very vocal (plus the Hossa episode but I'm less clear on what happened there) about player procurement.
Is this a good thing?
Success comes from ownership, goaltending, and I've always been thinking that you can have a fire-wagon type of hockey but your ability to play good defence has got to surface. The thread that ran through all of my success was undoubtedly ownership's commitment to win. I've been quite close to some of the owners, and the Bronfmans' passion for the game as owners in Montreal and the Ilitches' commitment to create a winning team in Detroit contributed greatly to our success.

Cottages & Bungalows Magazine – September and October 2011
We had so much fun shooting our friends, Matt and Shaunna's house for Cottages & Bungalows magazine last Winter, and we were super excited to finally see the photos all laid out in the current issue of the mag at Barnes & Noble the other day!
We had a great time snappin' pics and talkin' DIY with them that day!
The September issue is filled to the brim with lots more cottage-style goodness too.
There's a feature on Rachel and Ryan Gray's master bathroom redo…
They turned this room…
Into this room…
They even kept the original blue tile floor and it looks so great in the new space!
There's a feature about Lisa Leonard's $100 boys bathroom makeover too.
She kept the original denim-colored wallpaper…
…and added tons of charming touches to rev up the room's fun factor…
So cute!
Rie from Harmony and Home has a feature in the September issue too…
The photos they featured of the bedroom in her former home are absolutely delightful!
And the word on the street is that the October issue of Cottages & Bungalows has already hit some folks' mailboxes too. A sweet Tweety bird told me she saw the pics we shot of a cottage in North Carolina (last Fall) in the October issue, so we're excited to check it out too!
Here are a few sneak peeks from that shoot…
Wonder if it's out on newsstands yet?
Hmmm….where are my flip flops? Barnes & Noble, here we come!

Add a new component to this year's already raging price wars: shipping deals. We predict you'll see more.
We're already seeing fierce price competition this holiday season. Now Wal-Mart has bought out the big gun: free shipping.
In a new twist on everyday low prices (and an attempt to revive flagging sales), Wal-Mart announced Thursday that it would offer free shipping on 60,000 items through Dec. 20, with no minimum purchase required. The company will even offer free shipping on returns.
"Everyone's trying to figure out how we can serve a customer that's trying to save every penny they can," Steve Nave, Wal-Mart senior vice president and general manager, told The New York Times. "It's the most competitive offer out there, and we're pretty excited about it."
My bankruptcy was my one big do-over, and you don't often get another one.
This guest post by Debt Kid comes from PTMoney.com.
Editor's note: Debt Kid found himself in serious debt after day-trading away more than a quarter-million dollars. He's been blogging since 2007 about his journey back to zero.
In 2007, after trying a debt-management plan, and selling most of my possessions on eBay, I hit my breaking point. I couldn't afford to keep servicing more than $250,000 in debt. I did something I never thought I would have to do: I filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Doh!
- Quick quiz: How bad/good is your credit score?
Fast-forward to today, and while it was not an easy process to go through, I learned some lessons from the whole ordeal.
It's silly to attach value to something just because it's been hanging around for a while.
This guest post comes from Lauren at Richly Reasonable.
Last week I told y'all how I'm helping the folks purge their closets, drawers and cabinets of childhood "relics" that the sisters and I had left behind (either intentionally or unintentionally).
Apart from some interesting finds -- like my fifth-grade autobiography/political manifesto (because of which I am now likely on some sort of government watch list; crazy, crazy stuff) -- most of my discoveries have been, as expected, junk.
Some of the found items we could have never meant to leave behind, i.e., Hungry Hungry Hippos. Many of the things, however, we simply couldn't bring ourselves to throw away. But that didn't mean we wanted them in our houses either.
So why do we keep junk? Better yet, why do we buy it in the first place?
We are delusional.
Defaults by high-scoring borrowers spur lenders to look at a lot more of your personal financial data.
We've known for years that lending institutions paid great attention to our credit scores. But the fact that people with perfect credit are among those defaulting on mortgages has made lenders look for new ways to judge potential borrowers.
That could be good news or bad news for consumers, depending on how they handle their financial lives -- or how well their asssets are holding up.
Your paycheck is likely to shrink in January. The only question is by how much. And it's not just the temporary Bush tax cuts that are at stake.
This post comes from MSN Money's Liz Pulliam Weston.
You've probably heard that Congress will discuss extending the Bush-era tax cuts when it reconvenes next week. Even if lawmakers manage to settle that squabble before the end of the year -- which is not guaranteed -- they're unlikely to extend another tax break that's beefed up most workers' paychecks this year.
We're not talking small change, either. If lawmakers don't extend the Bush tax cuts for lower- and middle-income families, people will see a big jump in their tax bite next year, according to The Wall Street Journal. For example:
- A household making $40,000 would see its paychecks shrink by $95 a month if it had no children, $135 if it had one child and $165 if it had two children.
- A household making $80,000 would see its monthly paychecks shrink by $145 with no kids, $150 with one and $180 with two.
- A household making $100,000 would clear $270 less per month with no kids, $300 less with one and $335 less with two.
Nice, huh? But there's another, less-talked-about tax break that's been helping you out.
National parks are free for all, and active or former military members can get dinners, car washes and shopping discounts.
We wrote last week about deals for Veterans Day, but so many new deals have emerged that we've put together another roundup.
Remember that entry to national parks is free for everyone Nov. 11 in honor of Veterans Day, and some state parks and tourist attractions are offering free entry to either the public or veterans and military.
The discount retailer's ad hit the Web -- and while the reaction is mixed, a few deals are keepers.
This post comes from Melinda Fulmer of MSN Money.
Target's leaked Black Friday ad hit the Web Tuesday night, offering a handful of deals tempting enough to get many bargain-savvy shoppers off their couch.
The discounter, which will open its stores at 4 a.m. Friday, is offering some sweet deals on electronics, video games and toys to lure jaded shoppers into its stores after weeks of pre-sales. And for every purchase over $100, shoppers will receive a $10 Target gift card (one per customer.)
I've never seen a kid do a happy dance around the living room for a gift card.
This post comes from Sonja Stewart at partner blog Wise Bread.
Do you remember what it was like to be a kid? Do you remember how hard it was to get your hands on cash?
I know I'm dating myself here, but when I was young, a dollar was, well, paper money. I could get a lot of candy for that dollar. A lot.
So why have I been so hesitant to give kids cash for gifts? Will I be getting them practical things next, like socks and sweaters and underpants?
No way. I'm refusing to become that grown up. Here's why I'm sending cash for Christmas, and you should too.

25-21 loss to Anacortes threatens football season
The rapidly improving Anacortes Seahawks stole Blaine's thunder last Friday night in a game that was so foggy even the officials admitted they couldn't see much of what was happening.
When it was all done, Blaine's fourth-quarter heroics came up four points short 25-21.
Led by the compact (5'6" 160 lbs) flanker Troy Briones, Anacortes swept right and left with abandon in the first quarter scoring two first period touchdowns.
They were on their way to a third when Blaine's athletic junior Alex Bresnan, in one of the prettiest pieces of pass defense seen this year, covered Seahawk wide receiver Josh Freeman perfectly despite giving up four inches in height, and with both players four feet off the ground tipped the ball just out of Freeman's reach to keep Blaine's stalled offense from falling any further behind.
Joe Paciorek rushed for Blaine's first touchdown on a 10-yard sweep in fog so thick the fans couldn't see what happened.
He made it to the end zone in silence, but when Borderite game announcer Mike Dodd said "touchdown Blaine!" the stands erupted in cheers.
Anacortes marched right back to take a 20-7 lead while Blaine was being frustrated either by missed calls, especially a long Ben Bohnson reception in the second quarter ruled incomplete, or the right side of the Seahawk defensive line that rushed an easy field goal attempt which then missed by several feet.
By the end of the first half Blaine had already allowed the Seahawks 200 yards rushing.
The third quarter began with an electrifying Paciorek run for 77 yards and a score. He later hit the deceptive and fast wide receiver Freddy Johncox for a 20 yard score to bring the awakened Borderites within five points but that was all as Blaine came up on the short end of a 25-21 score.
With the loss Blaine temporarily dropped behind in contention for post-season play unless they can beat Mt. Baker next Friday night in Deming.
If they end up tied with Anacortes then the loss means Anacortes gets the nod in a tie-breaker situation.
Joe Paciorek had another productive night, generating 240 yards of offense, 137 on the ground and another 103 through the air. Adam Dykstra rushed twice for 37 yards and Shane Hicks twice for 17.
Ben Bohnson ran 17 times piling up an impressive 89 yards. Bresnan caught four passes for 22 yards, Johncox three for 37.
Tygr Cain, meanwhile, got two for 19 yards and Bohnson had one reception for 25 yards and a touchdown.
Blaine's record is now 3-4, 2-3 in conference. Continuing on in the post-season boils down to winning their next game on Friday October 19 in Deming at 7 p.m. The season finale is the following week at home against Lynden Christian.
Win sends Lady B's to playoffs
Mackenzie Nix's point blank shot just inside the left goalpost 40 seconds into sudden death overtime gave Blaine a 2-1 win and a berth in the subdistrict playoffs next week.
Coach Dan Steelquist said that his charges took control of the game in the first half but let things slip a little in the second, "So I told them to take charge in the overtime, and they stepped up big-time."
Nix, a deep defender, pushed all the way up for a Bobby Orr style invasion of the offensive end of the pitch after Lynden lost possession right after the overtime kickoff.
Blaine shot hard and was fouled, and Carley Schmidt's free kick went straight to Alyssa Hendrickson, who found Nix.
Nix then slammed a shot past Lynden's keeper, the best in the league, for the win.
Blaine's last game is on Thursday, October 19, against Mt. Baker out at the Pipe.
The Lady B's have clinched a playoff berth but will be paying for fourth place Thursday and a chance to host, rather than travel to, their first sub-district match next week.

How does movement of an electric charge create a magnetic field?
View Single Post
Feb14-13, 11:16 AM
Quote by
[I took too long to write this, and Jano slipped in before me.]
Yes indeed! And so is the distinction between electric and magnetic fields.
Consider two stationary charges, one above the other from your point of view as you stand in front of them, and separated by some distance. Each charge produces (only) an electric field, which exerts an electric force on the other charge. If the charges are free to move, they move towards or away from each other depending on whether they are "like" or "unlike" charges.
Now imagine running past the two charges. From your new point of view, the charges are both in motion. In addition to the electric fields and forces, each charge now produces a magnetic field which exerts a magnetic force on the other charge.
Clearly the net effect of the electric and magnetic forces in the second case must be the "same" as the effect of the electric forces in the first case, in terms of the motion of the charges, after taking into account the the difference in your own motion. After all, the charges don't "know" whether you're standing still or running.
We say nowadays that electric and magnetic fields and forces are merely different aspects of a single unified electromagnetic field and electromagnetic force. If we know the electric and magnetic fields in one
reference frame
(e.g. the one you use when you're standing still), and the relative velocity of another reference frame (e.g. the one you use when you're running), we ought to be able to calculate the fields in the second frame. That is, we ought to be able to
the fields from one frame to the other.
The question of how to do this in a way that is consistent with how the laws of mechanics transform between reference frames, was a major theoretical puzzle in the late 1800s, which led ultimately to Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity.
I had no idea that electromagnetics had so many relativistic components! So, correct me if i'm wrong, but let's say you're running towards the charges and observing an electric field:
There is one true underlying reality in regards to their actual state. To arrive at that state, various observers at various speeds will view differently rendered versions of the same event, witnessing varying proportions of electric and magnetic fields in use (depending on their speeds?), which all reconcile the event with it's true mathematical reality, where the specific nature of the "reconciliation" is based on their frame of reference?

TEAMS: Miami Heat, Memphis Grizzlies, Minnesota Timberwolves
I have previously purposed the idea that, despite his colossal contract, LeBron James is the most underpaid player in the NBA, and maybe all of professional sports. Taking into account both on and off court impact, I can't think of another individual in sports who affects a franchise as much as LeBron, and apparently I am not the only one.Recently the people over at CableTVblog.com complied an excellent infographic that illustrates LeBron's impact on a team and provides proof that he is underpaid. Some important points to take away from the image:LeBron James is the 13th highest paid player in the NBA. Players ahead of him include Gilbert Arenas, Brandon Roy, and Elton Brand.The year after gaining LeBron, the Miami Heat saw a 99% increase in their local TV ratings on Sun Sports Network.From 2010 (Before The Decision) to 2012 (After The Decision), the franchise value of the Miami Heat increased by $93 million (from $364 million to $457 million), while the Cle...

text: With just a bit over 8 weeks already gone in my first year of college, I am not feeling the stresses and am not feeling overwhelmed by school yet. I wonder to myself if this either good, bad or both. I see (and hear) other students moving frenetically around the library scrambling to get work done and studying all night. Maybe it's because my class load is light. I am taking Interpersonal Communications, Math 115, Paideia, Fit & Well, and College Writing. Either way with football taking up a large three-hour part of my day I should feel frazzled shouldn't I? Our football team takes on conference leading Coe College this week in the final home game of the year and on Senior Day. We lost last week to Buena Vista University 14-7 in Storm Lake, IA and a win this week would prove our mental and team toughness over the nationally ranked Cohawks.

COC Is Helping Bring Experience To Students
Work experience is valuable in the job market, and COC has high numbers gaining it.
This fall, the College of the Canyons Cooperative Work Experience Education (CWEE) program will reach a significant milestone: the program will have helped more than 1000 students acquire internships.
"The CWEE program at College of the Canyons deserves our congratulations for achieving the milestone of assisting 1000 students," said Congressman Howard "Buck" McKeon. "My office and constituents have personally benefited from CWEE placements, as several students from COC have worked as interns in my office."
Since the creation and launch of its website in 2002, the college's CWEE program has allowed students to receive academic credit and real-life work experience through internships.
One of those students is Antonio Diaz, who interned for the department while he studied graphic design at the college.
"Aside from working with amazing people that understand the transition from college to employment, I also learned a new programming language and how to execute a large-scale web project," said Diaz.
As an intern, Diaz helped revamp the CWEE program's Website, making it more user-friendly for students to search for internship opportunities. He also designed flyers and helped update the program's course handbook.
Working on this part of the college's Website "also helped me network with people on campus and employers, which is a key skill for a business owner," said Diaz, who is now the owner of Artifice Studios, a Santa Clarita-based Web studio.
Diaz is currently assisting a number of college departments for Web-related projects, speaks at various classes and with the CWEE director, gives presentations about the CWEE Website at other institutions.
"Internships are where theory meets reality and where the community becomes the classroom," said Stan Wright, director of the college's CWEE program. "Internships are rapidly becoming prerequisites for quality jobs."
Many organizations will hire successful interns over candidates they don't know at all, added Wright. "In many cases, an internship is an extended interview."
According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Experiential Education Survey, 58 percent of internship students were offered full-time employment with their internship employers.
While most are unpaid, internships provide students with many valuable resources such as work experience, networking, mentoring and references, which in turn make them competitive job applicants.
"By providing valuable internship programs, the College is offering important mentoring and training for the next generation of workers, which is one of the most important things we as professionals can do," said Ken Striplin, Assistant City Manager for the City of Santa Clarita. "Our City successfully utilized the free online internship development and placement program and subsequently offered part-time paid internships to College of the Canyons students."
Located in the Student Center at the college's Valencia campus, CWEE received the Outstanding Program Award from the California Cooperative Education and Internship Association in recognition of "one of the best internship development and placement programs in the state of California."
"The job market is not great and employers are being more selective when choosing potential employees," said Diaz, "but internships are a good way to gain necessary job skills and experience needed in order to stand out among other job applicants."
Diaz credits his success and easy transition into the workforce to his CWEE internship.
"I think it's impossible to be prepared for the first jump," said Diaz. "There is only so much a college can teach you, but I think utilizing internships makes it easier to get a taste of the real job world."
"Internships help students make a seamless transition from college careers," said Wright. "Internships also help employers lower their hiring costs, decrease turnover and ensure employer and employee fit."

The N.C. Department of Commerce has launched a new job-search website helping job seekers and employers connect with each other, the agency announced Monday.
The new system, NC Works Online, is designed to streamline the job search process while improving security and reducing annual operational costs by more than $2 million.
"NCWorks Online is an example of increasing our department's efficiency and providing stronger customer service to the citizens of North Carolina, especially those who are unemployed," Commerce Secretary Sharon Decker said in a statement.
NCWorks Online is a no-fee service. Employers can post jobs as well as take advantage of real-time labor market information.
"Given its proven track record in other states, we're excited about how NCWorks Online will improve the ability of job seekers and businesses to improve their searches for employment and talented workers, respectively," said Roger Shackleford, Assistant Secretary for Workforce Solutions. "We're confident this new and efficient system will help strengthen our economy as more talented job seekers and employers connect with each other."
NCWorks Online was developed by the Florida-based Geographic Solutions, which has developed similar job-search systems for 18 other states. It replaces NC JobConnector, which had served as the division's online job-search tool.
The Commerce Department said in a statement that NCWorks Online will also eliminate the need for eight additional information systems, which is expected to save $10.2 million over the next five years.
To access NCWorks Online, visit www.ncworks.gov.

Two Northwest Side men have been charged after Chicago Police found them in possession of nearly 1,000 pounds of marijuana worth almost $7 million.
Manuel Mata, 37, of the 4400 block of North Melvina Avenue, was charged with one count each of felony possession of cannabis, misdemeanor having a gun without a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card and misdemeanor not having a firearm registration certificate, according to a Chicago Police release.
Joaquin Muneton, 39, of the 3500 block of North Kilpatrick Avenue, was charged with one count of felony possession of cannabis, police said.
Narcotics officers had been watching a home in the 4400 block of North Melvina Avenue and found 950 pounds of cannabis and a .22 caliber gun when executing a search warrant early Monday, police said. It was not immediately known if the drugs were found in Mata and Muneton's homes or elsewhere on the blocks where they lived.
The officers found an additional 10 pounds of drugs and $36,000 in cash in the 3500 block of North Kilpatrick Avenue, police said. In total, the drugs have a street value of $6.9 million.
Mata and Muneton are expected in bond court Tuesday.

Hello. My name is Danielle, author of Heat and Passion and Becoming Another. I have deleted both of my other stories because it has been a while since I have been on; I couldn't start up again. I have another story in mind and it is called "Lost. Heartbreak. Betrayal". I hope everyone enjoys it. (: I will start each chapter color coded so everyone knows whose point of view is being read.
Bella = Red
Edward = Blue
Jacob = Green
Renesmee = Orange
Those should be the only people I use but if I use more, I will just write the name beside the beginning of the chapter.
Like I said before, enjoy. (:
And thank you for the support. <3
Chapter one
The stars were beautiful. The sky completely clear. Being outside when the sun had set was one of my favorite activities. The night brought silence and that's what I needed. I needed to think about what I did. About what he did. I heard the door shut and heard feet coming my way. I sat up straight and smiled as he rounded the corner. "You're so beautiful." He whispered, bringing me water. I didn't really need water but I wanted to live a normal life with him. I smiled at him. "Thank you." I whispered quietly. I knew he could hear me; He had amazing hearing. I took a sip of my water and sat it down on the table beside me. I sighed, looking down at my hands. "What's wrong?" He whispered. I looked up at him, realizing how truly beautiful he was. "Nothing." I whispered, looking down at my hands again. "Bella." He smiled. "I can tell when you're upset." I laughed, getting up and sitting on his lap. "How did I get so lucky?" I smiled. He chuckled, then moved a strand of my hair away from my face. "And how did I get so lucky?" He whispered. I put my arms around his neck, looking into his deep brown eyes. He brought his lips to mine, kissing me for a second. He sat back, looking into my golden eyes. "I love you Bella Swan." I half smiled, tracing his lips with my fingers. "And I love you Jacob Black."
Chapter two
With every wakening hour, I thought about her. Wondering what she was doing. Wondering if she ever talked to our daughter. Wondering if she ever thought about me. "Babe?" I heard her faint whisper upstairs and smiled. She was an amazing, beautiful girl. I never thought I would leave Isabella Marie Swan Cullen, soon just Swan, for another human. I placed my hand against the window, looking down. She wasn't the same when she was a vampire; She had changed. Her personality transformed into this monster. A monster that I didn't like. I heard her call again and ran upstairs to greet her as she awoke. "Edward..." She said smiling. She rolled over to where I was and grabbed my hand, pulling me onto the bed. I laughed as did she. "Why were you downstairs?" She whispered, looking at him. I smiled, rubbing her cheek and felt the warmth as the blood pumped through her whole body. "Nothing, Elizabeth. Go back to bed." I kissed the top of her forehead, doing the same as I did with Bella. "Okay...." She smiled, closing her eyes. I laid down there, with her in my arms. I listened as I heard her heart beat, her chest rising up and down. I heard the phone ring and got up quietly. I grabbed it and answered it. "Hello?" "Edward, it's Renesmee. You have to come home now." Before I could get a word out, the person hung up.

The Word: Robert Downey Jr. tops highest-paid actor list
It pays to be Tony Stark, both in the comic book world and in our world. Robert Downey Jr., who portrays Tony "Iron Man" Stark in the Iron Man and Avengers movies, earned an estimated $75 million last year, making him the highest-paid actor in Hollywood, according to Forbes.
RDJ is joined by a host of other savvy action and comedy stars. Channing Tatum hits #2 thanks to the wild success of "Magic Mike," which he and director Steven Soderbergh financed themselves, and Mark Wahlberg earned a $52 million payday thanks to "Ted." But none of them came close to Downey's $75 million. All that, and he gets to fly around in the Iron Man suit! Yes he does. Shut up. Iron Man is real.
Despite the awesome paycheck, RDJ isn't sure he wants to be a superhero much longer. "I'm 48, and I'm torn about it. One part of me wants to stop right now, and another part of me doesn't want to let go. Let's just say that I hope to be able to decide what to do when the times comes. I don't want to be like those rock bands that continue going on tour when they're over 60 and looking like zombies," he told Metro.

How to explain a music genre and get away with it
Opinion: Music scenes peak, expire and move across the water. The british wanted to be american in the fifties, everyone wanted to be out of their heads in the sixties, and in a music scene dominated by MTV, the americans are rediscovering the british sound. Music is like money... it needs to move.

Eli and the Thirteenth Confession - Laura Nylo (1968)
Praised and revered from Jenny Lewis to Barry Manilow, claimed to be one of Alice Cooper's favourite songwriters and even sampled by Kanye West, Laura Nyro is one of those enigmatic figures that is loved by many but not often talked about.
Creature Feature - The Greatest Show Unearthed

Helen Love

Mon Frere

Vocaloids - the sound of the future

Deliberate Lies - Art Industrial
Music reviews: Deliberate Lies is the self produced, fully independent musical effort of guitarist Jon Hillyard and singer/pianist Andrew "Rage" Reid. Think Doctor Who crossed with Muse, Emilie Autumn and Rammstein...
Sonisphere - UK music festival is a Metal Ball of Sound
Music festivals: Is there enough room in the UK for another music festival? You bet! This summer, the people behind the original Monsters of Rock, and the creator of Download the Unholy Alliance and Defenders Of The Faith brought you a brand-new festival. Sonisphere...
Music reviews: Chatmonchy, a three-piece all girl band from Tokushima, Japan, has been around since 2000 and has had multiple songs hit the top of the charts. Not bad for a band whose name intentionally has no meaning.
J-rock with Tommy Kawase and The Brilliant Green
Music reviews: Who can pull off three different styles of J-rock with three different personas? Not a lot of people, that's who. Yet Tomoko Kawase (or Tommy as she is lovingly nicknamed, or Tommy February6, or Tommy Heavenly6) has quite a few tricks up her Elmo-puppeted sleeve.
The Dead Weather - Horehound
Music reviews: Take a whisk of rock, a syrup spoon of country and a sprinkle of The Kills and The Raconteurs and what do you get? The Dead Weather. But can they live up to their supergroup status?
Regina Spektor - Far
Music reviews: Regina Spektor is yet another crazy, talented songstress with powerful lyrics and strong melodies. And she does a sound dolphin impression, too...
La Roux - In for the kill
Music reviews: La Roux is glitchy, spunky, eighties-retro electropop that has odd roots and packs a punch. And it's nice to know sometimes bands are still formed by friends not Simon Cowell - La Roux met the old-fashioned way. At a party.
Sierra Swan - Queen of the Valley
Music reviews: Some mags describe Sierra Swan as LGBT rock. Fools. They'll say any old thing to fill column inches. She's a strong alternative woman who sings hard songs wrapped in Jagermeister. If you like the low throated voices of PJ Harvey, Amanda Palmer and Regina Spektor, Sierra might be what you've been looking for.
Marilyn Manson - Eat Me, Drink Me - album
Marilyn Manson's "Eat me, drink me" album is filled with Alice in Wonderland references and emo allusions to divorce proceedings with Dita Von Teese - but does it deliver?
Andrea Faithful - all hail the new electro queen
Many claim an electro title for themselves, but disco style, a dance hit and a few paparazzi shots do not an electro queen make. Andrea Faithful is proper scary electric.
It's Blitz - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Music reviews: 'It's Blitz!' by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is that difficult third album. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are challenging themselves with heavy synth and a disco drive... but will this change of direction work for their regular fans?
DIOYY - You have no idea what you're getting yourself into
What if space aliens were taught human ways by punk rockers, learned how to play music (easy on the distortion there, alien!) then gained popularity as a band? Meet Does It Offend You, Yeah?.
Isa and the Filthy Tongues
Music reviews: It's weak sauce to just namecheck people that a band's sound reminds you of, but when those people are Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, Sleater Kinney, The Killers and the Pixies, you know you're onto a good thing with dark indie outfit Isa and the Filthy Tongues...
Music reviews: Dekadens is a post-punk indie band with a touch of electro. They've toured the hell out of Romania, they're about to tour America - and they're fronted by the lovely Starsfade from our very own messageboard...
Florence and the Machine
Music reviews: Florence and the Machine? She's a bit like Kate Bush and she's signed to Moshi Moshi records. Dress code for a Florence gig? None, but consider: Long robes and cape for Florence, MGMT-style psychedelia for you. Mookychick salutes Florence and her Machine!
Kiss Kiss - Reality vs the Optimist
Music reviews: Kiss Kiss are guitary, screamy, haunting, romantic, optimistic about our reality - they have a huge following yet always say thank you for their fan art. For their classical influences and calming yet awakening way of playing, Velma Velvet gives them 4 out of five stars.
Download Robots in disguise
Music reviews: Dee Plume and Sue Denim are the main girls behind Robots in disguise, an electro outfit that is witty, sharp and is all about hyping up the superficial in true electro style. Also, Sue Denim used to go out with Noel Fielding from The Mighty Boosh. We like them big lots, they fill our hearts with little blue lightning strikes! So download their mp3s now...
Download Elastica
Music reviews: Elastica were a predominately female British Britpop band who emerged to great critical acclaim in 1993. Influenced by The Fall and controversially by Wire, Elastica were in the papers as much for their rock lifestyle as for their music (sometimes for nicking other peoples' riffs), but their punchy 2-3 minute punkpop songs were solid as hell.
Nightmare Revisited
Music reviews: 'Nightmare Revisited' is the new CD for Tim Burton's 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. It features cover versions of the entire soundtrack by bands and singers like Manson, Amy Lee, Shiny Toy Guns and Sparklehorse. Yes, we loved the original musical. Will we like the songs as much when we view them through the looking glass? Alessa Valentin finds out if the spirit of Jack is truly back.
Emilie Autumn - the winter of our content
Music reviews: Courtney Love's "anarchy violinist" returns to the stage and is keeping the spotlight all to herself. Fresh off the road as Ms. Love's touring bandmate, Emilie Autumn's devilishly dark lyrics and industrial-strength voice reinvent "gothic" for us all.
Music reviews: Metric are an indie outfit who come on like a new wave dance band. They're verging on mainstream. But the very fashionistas and consumerists they satirised in songs like "Dead Disco," "Combat Baby" and "The List" are now singing along with them.
The Kills
Music reviews: Alison 'VV' Mosshart of Anglo-American indie rock band The Kills (gorgeous lo-fi likened to the White Stripes) has been known to spend her time chainsmoking and vomiting onstage. Nevermind the bollocks, here's The Kills!
Music reviews: Yelle (a slamming of Yeah and Elle) is a French electro chick who rose to fame on myspace.com when she posted a song dissing hip-hop band TTC. Find out more!
Siouxsie Sioux

Five Tips for Real Karaoke Survival
Music reviews: Play-nice karaoke was invented by the Japanese 20 years ago, but real karaoke can usually be found in a local pub.

Lykke Li
Music review: Like most things worth bothering about in life, Li Lykke Timotej Zahrisson (Lykke Li for short) is a bundle of seeming contradictions.

We like it edgy: Becoming a music producer
Careers: We Like It Edgy is a music producer. It's a competitive industry but there are ways to survive and flourish, especially if you go above and beyond your training, buy cheap kit of eBay and know your remixes and mashups. Find out more about being a music producer.
Love Is All... 9 times that same song
'Love Is All' are a bunch of skronky Swedes who somehow got missed in the day-glo rush of 2006. Can you have a band that sings about keeping your boyfriend in a freezer? Wouldn't it be wrong not to?
Music reviews: What on earth were Curve, apart from one of the seminal underground bands of the 1990s? Were they shoegazing indie? Goth? Electronica? We're not quite sure!
Music reviews: CSS and lead singer Lovefoxxx wear glitter catsuits on stage and are impossibly fun and sexy. And yet 'CSS' stands for the Brazilian for 'I got tired of being sexy'...
Five Tips for Real Karaoke Survival
Music reviews: Play-nice karaoke was invented by the Japanese 20 years ago, but real karaoke can usually be found in a local pub. Get the very best out of your night on the karaoke mic.
Music reviews: ShiSho are only about 10 years old but in the vein of Be Your Own Pet they've burst on the kidcore scene with Sufjan Stevens and The Dead Milkmen covers. Punk Rawk girls unite!

Music reviews: The Chubbies are a pop punk all-girl garage band who have their own record store and got kicked offstage when go-go dancing for The Offspring. Find out more...
How to be a drummer grrl
How to guides: It's hard to understand why females are such a minority in the drum world. Bevin from The Valentinos tells you how to pick up the sticks and learn the fine art of drumming.
Download Liz Phair
Music reviews: Liz Phair recently celebrated her 40th birthday in a Rolling Stone photoshoot under the heading "Hot M.I.L.F.". Now a grown-up Avril Lavigne (tailored to appeal to a commercial market) Liz Phair used to be just Lizzy from the Block. Check out the genius of her early days...)
Download Bat for lashes
Music reviews: Everyone likes Bat for Lashes, especially intelligent blokes (you see throngs of them at Natasha Khan's live gigs videoing her thoughtfully). Taking influence from 70's film soundtracks, weather phenomena, childhood Halloween parties and a David Lynchian vision of suburbia, Bat for Lashes will take you on a very strange journey indeed...
Download Jackie Levitt
Music reviews: Jackie Levitt is an unsigned Mookychick from NYC who does truth and ethereal yet funky vocals over addictive lo-fi urban dance beats. Her work is New York, but would fit in well with the slew of trip hop bands that came out of Bristol, UK, with its mixed-up bpms, slow beats, and evocative melodies...
Download The Sounds
Music reviews: The Sounds are one of the latest imports from Sweden - they're kind of new wave with a touch of electro, and they've got a hard driving sound that's offset by melodies that will stick in your head longer than is healthy...
Music reviews: Ladyland is a gutsy, punchy, powerful album that will have so many good songs you'll be playing one on repeat before you dare let yourself onto the next one...
Music reviews: Probably the easiest way to describe the Colt 45s sound is 'obscure, fiesty electro punk' (The Crack Magazine), but their own term is clatter-pop...
Download Vix n the Kix
ViX used to be in a huge punkette British band and now she's assembled a new feisty bostin' outfit. If you like a bit of all-girl kitsch punk burlesque pop, this band deserves your love!
Download The Mighty Roars
Music reviews: Meet The Mighty Roars, a dirty twin sister to Debbie Harry and Karen O. It might be naughty, but it's probably the best thing we heard this week!
Feminist music reviews
