Kudos to the New York Times' Nicholas Kristof for not only daring to question whether anti-poverty programs might actually harm some people more than they help them, but for doing some on-the-ground reporting about how that happens in specific individuals' lives. His entire piece from Sunday is well worth reading, but here's the crux of it:
This is painful for a liberal to admit, but conservatives have a point when they suggest that America's safety net can sometimes entangle people in a soul-crushing dependency. Our poverty programs do rescue many people, but other times they backfire.
Some young people here don't join the military (a traditional escape route for poor, rural Americans) because it's easier to rely on food stamps and disability payments.
Antipoverty programs also discourage marriage: In a means-tested program like S.S.I., a woman raising a child may receive a bigger check if she refrains from marrying that hard-working guy she likes. Yet marriage is one of the best forces to blunt poverty. In married couple households only one child in 10 grows up in poverty, while almost half do in single-mother households.
Most wrenching of all are the parents who think it's best if a child stays illiterate, because then the family may be able to claim a disability check each month.
Charles Murray, about whose book "Coming Apart" I wrote earlier this year (I've also previously noted the importance of marriage to ending child poverty, as Kristof did), argues the problems Kristof identifies are due to three laws of social programs, which he describes as:
1. The Law of Imperfect Selection. Any objective rule that defines eligibility for a social transfer program will irrationally exclude some persons [leading them to expand constantly]. …
2. The Law of Unintended Rewards. Any social transfer increases the net value of being in the condition that prompted the transfer. …
3. The Law of Net Harm. The less likely it is that the unwanted behavior will change voluntarily, the more likely it is that a program to induce change will cause net harm [by encouraging more people to engage in the bad behavior in the first place, so that they can profit from making the desired change]. …
Read Murray's entire comment for a fuller explanation of these three laws. And, yes, the proper emphasis here should be on some people being worse off sometimes — the argument made by most conservatives is not that government should provide no safety net, but that it should not catch and even ensnare people who can and should be responsible for their own well-being. Even marginal increases in dependency have long-term consequences because they accumulate over time — most often as generation after generation within particular families grow up seeing nothing but dependency. Kristof is right to focus on the effects of dependency on children.
Taken together, Murray's post and Kristof's column give us an important understanding about the fallibility of even well-intentioned government programs for the poor, and some ways that we ought to think about these programs as we try to end unnecessary dependency and get our nation's finances under control.

It's sad that a poor young person has a choice to either join the military, with the potential to die in battle, or go on a government giveaway program. Why can't we spend more money on getting to these kids when they're in pre-school? Educate them. Why can't there be tax incentives for corporations that, right now, are swimming in money, to help train kids that can't and shouldn't go to college? Our country has slumped into the sea of despondency, seeing all poor people as people who want a hand out. While there are people that game the system, taking from every charity and agency, there are many more that just need a boost. The last twenty years it seems we have stripped away many opportunities that used to be available to lower and lower middle class people.

The last 20 years? Not hardly, really you need to go back to the late 1950's to see the change starting. Corporations once had something called apprenticeships but now they rely on government to train their workers for them. Companies don't want "employees" any longer. Corporations don't want to provide benefits and soon we all will be considered "Part Time". That started With ESRIA act of 1974, later NAFTA, and cumulated the (un) Affordable Health Care Act. All corporate welfare and that was all it is.

"The last twenty years it seems we have stripped away many opportunities that used to be available to lower and lower middle class people."
No, a lot of those opportunities are still there, but our "lazy" generation won't stoop to take these jobs. When my son was sixteen, he made the statement that if he couldn't make $10 an hour, he wasn't going to work. ( I said that was fine, but he would have no car, no gas, and no money to go out with – he changed his mind) There are still jobs picking vidalia onions – they are rotting in the fields without people picking them. In Dalton, the carpet mills used to be the source of jobs for the under-educated. Now it is Mexicans. Why? Not because they have decided to pay less – no, because the Mexicans work HARD for the money, and are glad to do it. Our spoiled kids whine and snivel about manual labor.
I once worked for a company that employed manual laborers – many of Mexican descent. We would have a couple of openings and hire a Mexican and an American. After two weeks the American would quit, saying the job was too hard and too dirty. These were GOOD jobs with full benefits. Where were the welfare recipients for these jobs?

This is news only to left wing, socialist, progressive, liberals, commies and democrats! They are ignorant of the stupidity of their own political agenda! By trying to coddle everyone cradle to grave, they actually promote poverty and tax away money from the economy just to redistribute it FOR A FAILED AGENDA! The war on poverty has created an ever increasing level of those on poverty! So how do they fix it? They promote more and more of the same failed policies thereby creating more poverty! But, they have also created a larger constituency and brain dead voters for democrats! me thinks that was the purpose and outcome they wanted all along! Does not matter how many are in poverty as long as they vote democrat!
Their policies should be classified as criminal!

This is absolutely true, and I would love to see some changes. The problem is that we don't know the percentage of people that are caught in the web or taking advantage of the system. If its 5%, then we don't have a problem. If it's 25%, then we need serious changes. I doubt its that high though.
Either way, I think most reasonable people would make changes if the argument was made in a intelligible manner.

Conservatives would have better grounds to affect change if they didn't persist in calling the poor "parasites", "leeches", or "takers". Conservatives would have better grounds to affect change if they wouldn't persist in wanting to GUT anti-poverty programs! Conservatives would have better grounds to affect change if they didn't persist in wanting to eliminate public education and replace it with the theological-based private paradigm which does nothing that indoctrinate rather than educate!!
Granted, there are changed that need to be made in anti-poverty programs; granted, there have been unintended consequences in many of these programs. If you want to affect change, then change the rules so that MARRIED people can partake of the programs….and incentivize it! Focus on job-training and education….which are the pathways to growing the workforce! Get CORPORATE AMERICA to bring jobs BACK to the US by eliminating the offshoring tax break!! THAT'D be the start……

Only three Murray laws? This is such a great example of writing to stir the pot. Mr Kristof has a very pedantic way of describing the despised 47%. If he wants to investigate fraud let him get a job with the watchdogs. The absence of a viable GOP has obligated some writers to speak for them. Where was he during the campaign? Ghostwriters for Romney. These disenfranchised poor people are lucky our laws prevent the Wingfields from acting out these invented vendettas.

"Some young people here don't join the military…because it's easier to rely on food stamps and disability payments." It seems like it was only yesterday that news stories came out about military personnel having to apply for food stamps to sustain their families because their pay grade put them in the poverty catagory. The aforementioned might have changed through the years but the preception could still exist. Might be possible that the"lazy" generation won't stoop to take "these jobs" such as picking vidalia onions because they seen as "dead end jobs." The GOOD jobs with full benefits were mentioned but I found missing was whether there was any GOOD pay to go along with them. Man does not live by full benefits alone.

Excuse me, LBB….but who controls the PURSE STRINGS of the government? The HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES….which is run by conservatives!! Who controls the preponderance of state governments? CONSERVATIVES!!
Conservatives plan for entitlements: ELIMINATE THEM, VOUCHERIZE THEM, PRIVATIZE THEM! That's been the battle cry for over 50 years! That doesn't work….won't work!!
If you REALLY wanted to make substantive changes, here's what you need to say:
1) Reduce the costs of loans for education
2) Maintain a persistent funding source for public education and job training
3) Eliminate the tax incentives of offshoring jobs
4) Allow married persons to use the welfare system rather than de-incentivizing marriage by paying more for singles
5) Eliminate duplication in government services
6) Maintain the current service level for SSI, Medicare, Medicaid…since it's being paid for by payroll taxes
7) Start repairing the nation's infrastructure…that would create multiple levels of employment….from high-tech to entry-level
Quit depressing the labor market!! People don't want to work because they make MORE in benefits than in employment!! Make minimum wage and education a more attractive proposition than a welfare check
That'd be a great beginning……
That'll be the beginning!!

The Democrats as a party have been pretty much taken over by the far-left in this country. We have a president that believes more in fostering dependency than he does working toward creating an environment for the American private sector to recover and thrive, so as to create jobs for people rather than safety nets for people. As the federal government continues its uncontrolled growth therefore requiring an ever greater share of the nations wealth the population that's dependent on government financial assistance will continue to grow. The so called fiscal cliff is a mole hill in comparison to the mountain we could fall off in the not too distant future. Maybe falling off this fiscal cliff could be what's best for our nation as a far less painful wake up call than the pain should we go off the looming fiscal mountain.

The preponderance of poverty is in places like Appalachia where education has been de-emphasized!! Focus on getting educational/job training facilities where they NEED to be!!
Elimination of governmental DUPLICATION would save money….and there is so much duplication….particularly in the MILITARY (start with procurement!)…………
Lest you forget, LBB…ALL governmental appropriations START in the House, changed in the Senate, and merged in conference committee….then re-voted upon by both chambers! Obstruction in the HOUSE is the greatest barrier now!!

Hey HDB———–while you are designing your Obamatopia—————–dig this——————————–
..If "Progressives" Didn't Exist, Big Business Would Have to Invent Them
by Kevin Carson ———————————
"My favorite, for sheer liberal naivete, is the highway system, "created for all of us to use": "That's right, a republican president created our taxpayer funded, national highway system. This was a different time, before the republican party came down with a vicious case of rabies that never went away."
Would this be the Interstate Highway System created under the supervision of Defense Secretary (and former General Motors CEO) Charles Wilson, famous for the phrase "What's good for America is good for GM?" The main effect of the Interstates was to lower the cost of distribution, artificially increasing the size and market area of the typical firm, and enabling national big box chains to drive local retail out of business. Or the local freeway systems, the top priority of local governments owned lock, stock and barrel by real estate developers? These subsidized freeway systems are the main culprit behind suburban monoculture, sprawl, and the car culture.
Farm subsidies? Only the most naive goo-goo thinks the USDA serves any interests other than those of Monsanto, Cargill and ADM.
Public schools and prisons? The first state public school systems were created in the 19th century to produce factory workers conditioned to show up on time, line up on command, eat and pee at the sound of a bell, and take orders from authority figures behind desks. Their primary purpose is to process children into docile human resources sufficiently skilled to undertake the labor demanded of them, but not educated above their station in life.
When the schools fail at creating an easily manageable work force, the criminal justice system takes over in maintaining social control. Thanks to the Drug War, one of the most potentially radicalizable segments of the population — inner city blacks — are kept under tight surveillance (something like one third of black males are entangled in some component of the criminal justice system). The United States has a larger prison population than China, much of it providing slave labor for corporations."
December 11th, 2012

LBB…..here's part of it!
….from USA Today:
"At issue is the U.S. tax code's treatment of profits earned by foreign subsidiaries of American corporations. Profits earned in the United States are subject to the 35% corporate tax. But multinational corporations can defer paying U.S. taxes on their overseas profits until they return them to the USA — transfers that often don't happen for years. General Electric, for example, has $62 billion in "undistributed earnings" parked offshore, according to recent Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Drug giant Pfizer boasts $60 billion. ExxonMobil has $56 billion.
The deferral clause has been in the tax code for more than half a century and has outlasted numerous reform efforts. In April 1961, even as U.S.-backed rebels were dying at Cuba's Bay of Pigs, President Kennedy asked Congress to rewrite tax provisions that "consistently favor United States private investment abroad compared with investment in our own economy."
In 2004, the Democratic nominee for president, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., railed against "Benedict Arnold" corporations that exploited the tax system to outsource jobs to low-wage countries such as India.
Now, with ever-larger volumes of capital surging across national borders, corporations' foreign earnings are emerging as part of a broad Democratic critique of globalization. States such as Ohio, where Clinton scored an important primary victory on March 4, and Pennsylvania, which votes April 22, have lost tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs in recent years. Trade agreements and a tax code that encourages corporate flight are to blame, many Democrats say. "We're going to close every tax loophole that still gives one penny of your tax dollars to any company that exports a job," Clinton promised last month.
From 2000 through 2005, U.S. multinationals eliminated 2.1 million jobs at home while adding 784,000 to their payrolls abroad, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. At the end of 2005, the most recent statistics available, U.S. corporations employed almost 9 million people outside the United States.
Whatever the employment impact, the deferral provision is costing the U.S. government money. A new study published in Tax Notes this month concludes that multinationals shifted almost $50 billion in income to low-tax countries in 2004, depriving the government of $17.4 billion in tax revenue. To recoup some of the lost cash, Congress in 2004 allowed corporations a one-time opportunity to repatriate profits at a special 5.25% tax rate. In 2006, corporations paid $354 billion in federal taxes."

Let's add corporate welfare to the list. If corporations didn't have the government to help sell their products overseas and give them the subsidies and tax write offs they currently get, maybe they would be more competitive in the global marketplace. To try and justify the elimination of safety net programs by trotting out some examples of negative result;, shows the true nature of the conservative movement. You have never been able to accept the New Deal. To you, government is a tool of the rich and the powerful. The constitution of "for the people" doesn't mean everyone. 47% was not a statement made inadvertently.

I didn't think you'd be able to articulate it in your own words, HDB.
Did you know that the U.S. treatment of foreign profits is the same as most every other industrialized nation? Of course, our corporate tax rate is higher than every other country, so our corporations repatriate less of their profits than other countries.
If we want to put our corporations even further at a disadvantage than we already do, we can adopt the proglodyte approach and tax foreign profits at the U.S. rate. I'm sure that will create LOTS of jobs here in the U.S.! Not.

Mountain Man "In Dalton, the carpet mills used to be the source of jobs for the under-educated. Now it is Mexicans. Why? Not because they have decided to pay less – no, "
I grew up in Dalton and worked for a summer at one of the factories before starting college. I was considered unskilled and my job was pulling scatter rugs off a conveyor at the end of a latex spray oven. Today, those jobs still exist in Dalton and to get even money to what I was paid, the jobs would have to start at $10.47 per hour. I have family in Dalton and I KNOW FOR A FACT that those low skill jobs do not pay anything near that. So you are wrong about why the jobs are being filled with immigrants rather than those lazy mountain folks who do not want to work for a living. It is always about keeping wages and benefits low and profits up. Not that there is anything wrong with profits, but let's at least be honest about it.

The ignorance on the left is indeed something to behold. First they think that they've won a mandate for a socialist state and are having multiple cerebral orgasms in celebration. Obama actually lost support in his reelection and the national vote was a mere two point margin. The difference was getting the uninformed voters to the polls in the swing states where many wouldn't have otherwise bothered to vote. Next they go on as though we don't have a looming debt crises. They think everything can be solved by continuing to raise taxes on 3 percent of the population and spending it on stimulus programs that fail and on growing financial assistance programs that only increase our national poverty. Talk about brainwashed people approaching a brain dead condition.

Nicholas Kristof's column was very insightful. But keep it separate from Charles Murray's "Laws." With better design the malign consequences of the current design of SSI could be avoided. Appalachia has been a problem for many years. It was JFK's reading of Michael Harrington's "The Other America" which launched the anti poverty programs of the 1960's. Is the only response the kind of purposeful cruelty as seems to be recommended by people like "Lil' Barry? Eliminate the New Deal.

So, we scrap all social programs and rely on the church and the tax-break deductions tied to charitable giving? Give me something – whether it be eternal life or a tax cut – and I will help these poor poor people.
That whole bible chapter where Jesus got his tax breaks too, that chapter was lost?

I have a 'little' experience with FrontPage. By scrolling text, do you mean
a marquee ? If so, click Insert, then component and then marquee and insert your text there.
Heather - Atlantic Travel
Try http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/ You'll find many useful scroller scripts there...
Wait a minute - are you trying to put scrolling text over an image? You can do that with layering (right other people?!? I could be wrong), but I don't think that Front Page has a specific way to do that (the only times I've ever gotten an image over an image was on accident, and I'm not sure I could figure out how to recreate that situation). If your just trying to add scrolling text, goto Insert->Active Elements->Marquee. Hope that helps a little.
Visit my website - 4Webmasters!
The tag <marquee> only works with IE, all other browsers will ignore it and display inline text.
Find someplace to download a java scroller.
as far as putting things on top of each other you can use CSS.
FrontPage 2000 has an absolute positioning feature for images that will let you layer images on top of images. Get familiar with the fp help files that come with the program, they show you how to do it. You can put a component on top of an image if you use the image as a background image (again, layering).

James West, Weber State University Student Association nontraditional senator, had his BA05-6 bill voted down Monday. Jason Allison, WSU Student Association social and behavioral sciences senator, offered a BA05-7 bill in response to the presidential veto. The bill was amended and now waits presented new legislation. After Allison presented his bill Monday to student senators, West proposed an amendment saying a senate seat can only be removed if a removal bill from the senate is presented and passes with a three-fourths majority vote. The amendment also says a 30-day grace period is allowed if the constituency brings a petition bearing the names of at least 51 percent of that constituency, not to exceed 250 students.

"She is always a very kind-heartedperson," said Kim Webb, WSU Department of English office specialist. Due to a "She very person recent illness, McKay will not be able to extend her hands of help, but will receive help from her English department comrades. According to Robin Scott, English department secretary, McKay has been blessing many people's lives and it is now her turn to let people help her. McKay was diagnosed Oct. 22 with a possible brain aneurism while attending the annual Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association conference in Cour d'Alene, Idaho. McKay, an RMMLA executive member and presenter at the conference, began her day with her presentation. In the afternoon, she left with a group of people on a bus tour that was part of the RMMLA conference. While on the tour, she became nauseous and developed a headache.

The Wreber State University Student Association is still preparing a survey for students to take dealing with the mayor's proposal. "We don't know enough about the gondola," said Jason Allison, WSU Student Association social and behav ioral sciences senator. "No plan has been strictly laid out, so we are still in the process of creating a survey." According to Allison, the debate, which would feature representatives from groups for and against the gondola, was postponed due to logistical issues, but that the debate would still take place soon. "We need to reach an agreement on place, time and format," Allison said. Students unlikely to see flu vaccine on campus With the arrival of flu season, Weber State University students will probably have to go elsewhere for vaccines according to Juliana Larsen, WSU director of health services. Larsen asked student senators Monday to remind students they can receive health care at the WSU health center at minimal or no cost Larsen said flu vaccines were in such high demand, the university does not expect to receive any soon. This could spell trouble for some students because WSU ceased of fering health insurance to students August 2003 when school enrollment decreased as health insurance enrollment increased, which caused premiums to sky rocket. "We encourage students to have health insurance, but you don't have to have it to come to the healdi center," Larsen said. The Ogden Clinic at 4650 Harrison Blvd. in Ogden is currently offering flu vaccinations to students for $20 according to Ray Brock, director of clinic development and advertising for the Ogden Clinic. ude, whereas my classroom?

Proposal to offer 24-hour library access falls short for now James West, WSU Student Association nontraditional student senator, asked the senate to consider extending campus library hours to accomodate students who work during the day. A committee of senators researched the idea last week, listing funding and security as obstacles to all-night library access. According to Anna Byrd, WSU Student Association honorsBIS senator, WSU librarians felt 24-hour access is not needed. West would still like to see access implemented, citing other universities that allow all-night access by swiping a card at the entrance. "I don't see why we couldn't implement something like that here and just not have available checkout," West said.

PORTAGE | An ArcelorMittal dock wall at the Port of Indiana Burns Harbor was crushed under the weight of cargo off-loaded from a ship early Tuesday morning, officials said.
No one was injured in the incident.
According to Chris Roggy with the U.S. Coast Guard's Michigan City station, the Coast Guard received a call about 5:30 a.m. saying a cargo ship was off-loading a shipment onto the dock when the structure collapsed under the weight of the load.
Iron ore concentrate was being off-loaded from a vessel operated by Algoma Central Corp. when the incident took place, said Jim Pound, vice president of operations for the St. Catharines, Ontario-based dry-bulk carrier. Pound said the vessel carried about 26,000 tons of product, which is a typical shipment for the company to make. He said the incident "is as much a surprise to us as it is to them," referring to ArcelorMittal.
The ship was listing slightly to the starboard side just before noon. A tug boat was positioned at the front of the ship preparing to upright the vessel, a source with knowledge of the incident said.
Mary Beth Holdford, a spokeswoman for ArcelorMittal, said the incident had, "no impact on production or our ability to serve our customers."
"Additionally, the waterway is navigable, with no impact on Port of Indiana operations," Holdford said in a statement. "No damage has been reported to the vessel."
"The material was contained to the dock surface and did not enter the waterway," Holdford said. "As a precautionary measure, ArcelorMittal has notified the appropriate agencies of the incident."
Holdford said ArcelorMittal is waiting for the Coast Guard to inspect the ship.
Lt. Leslie Downing, spokeswoman for the Marine Safety Unit of the U.S. Coast Guard in Chicago, said additional details cannot be released, as the investigation is ongoing.

5 incorrect assumptions of job seekers
A too-brief, jargon-filled resume isn't helpful.
This post comes from Julie Rains at partner blog Wise Bread.
Many people are job hunting these days. I have worked with job seekers for many years and have found that these five common assumptions frequently derail a job search.
Being open to anything will increase my chances of landing a job. The search ought to have a focus: You should be targeting opportunities in a certain discipline or function; or you should identify the strengths you'd like to leverage and then uncover positions that match those strengths. The résumé should convey that focus; otherwise, you can't differentiate yourself from other candidates because you're not really great at anything but rather average at many things.
- Bing: Write a better résumé
Hiring managers don't want to spend training and payroll dollars on a so-so candidate, especially in an environment where money is an extremely limited resource and a more qualified candidate is sure to surface soon.
However, it is true that job seekers need to be flexible when pursuing a new position. Depending on your current situation and long-term goals, you should be open to opportunities in a new industry, a smaller rather than larger company (or vice versa), and even a change of locale.
And, it's also true that job seekers snag jobs that are not perfectly in sync with their original targets. In these cases, here's what the hiring manager is thinking:
- Tap into skills that the job seeker didn't realize were valuable (for example, a client of mine who was seeking a sales position was selected by a state agency for a position requiring client advocacy capabilities, which she possessed from years of volunteering in a similar role).
- Hire "fresh" talent with no preconceived notions of how to approach a new market, reach a different kind of customer, etc.
- Recruit people with a certain background because past, similar hires have been successful.
No one could possibly possess all of the qualifications required by the employer. I've seen job postings that seem to be an impossible-to-get wish list created by an optimistic hiring manager. For example, a sourcing position might list the following requirements (this is a partial list of requirements taken from an online job board posting):
- Experience in supply chain management, purchasing, and contract negotiation.
- Working knowledge of SAP.
- Professional designations, such as a CPM (certified purchasing manager).
- Fluency in Mandarin Chinese.
Stay focused on pursuing opportunities that match your qualifications. Build and leverage your professional network. At the same time, consider boosting your skills through classes at the community college or volunteer experience.
So, while it's true that the perfect candidate may not appear for many job postings (or, more likely the company is required to advertise for an opening that is probably going to be filled by an internal candidate who does have these credentials), going for multiple long shots is probably not going to increase your chances at winning a fantastic job.
I can elaborate during the interview rather than including valuable information on the résumé. The defense of the extremely brief résumé is often that hiring managers won't read a long one. But there needs to be enough information to allow the reader to judge whether the candidate has minimum qualifications and enough talent and proven experience to contribute to the hiring organization. Otherwise, the sought-after interview will never happen.
Even if a résumé is two (or even three) pages, a well-designed format that allows quick scanning for critical information can get the document placed in the "maybe" pile for further evaluation. Compelling accomplishments and deeper-than-average descriptions of position duties may actually aid the screening and selection process, ultimately saving time for the hiring manager.
Certain topics, though -- for example, why you left a job after a couple of months -- are best discussed in the interview rather than detailed on the résumé.
The people who will hire me will understand my résumé. It's true that hiring managers will often have a better, more complete grasp of the industry and discipline-specific lingo that's on your résumé than your neighbor or even your best friend.
But the résumé will most likely be screened by a recruiter or human resources manager who may not have expertise in your field; and possibly scrutinized by higher-level staff and potential co-workers who may participate in the selection process. So, using understandable language is important to communicating your qualifications to as many people as possible (see my post on online job boards for ways to identify common terms and keywords). To appeal to a broader audience, mention collaborative abilities and team contributions; and emphasize accomplishments that not only helped your department improve but also boosted the company's overall performance.
A hiring decision will be made in a reasonable time frame. One of the most common mistakes is to assume that a hiring decision will be made according to a reasonable timeline and therefore (here's the dangerous part) you should wait before pursuing other opportunities. If you are happily employed and really want a particular position and no other position, then it is reasonable to wait until you learn of the decision. But very often, hiring decisions are delayed for long periods of time for reasons such as:
- The position hasn't been officially approved by the corporate office.
- Economic conditions and the company's needs have changed since recruitment began.
- No great candidates have emerged with interest in the position.
- The hiring process requires multiple levels of approval and rounds of interviewing.
- Decision makers have been traveling on business for a few months.
Even when hiring managers provide a timeline to a candidate, they very often don't adhere to the schedule. And, in some cases, they choose a candidate but are not able to extend an offer.
Some job seekers seem to have a fear of having to make a difficult choice among more than one employer. But the savvy seeker keeps pursuing any and every opportunity, and even leverages salary negotiations by getting multiple offers. (See "How to play the post-interview waiting game" for more insights.)
What do you think? Have you reversed your assumptions since starting a search?

"Not sure why I'm giving it 2 stars"
This book is not good. No way, shape or form. I thought the description sounded great. The story line and idea had true potential.The reviews given were wonderful. I thought I was walking on pretty good ground. Ugh. It started off ok. And when I say that, i mean OK in the purest form. The characters, the narrator ( which cuts me deeply because I am a huge fan of Kirsten Potter as D. D. Warren) geez, the story.. was drawn out, boring, unbelievable and an all around frustrating..'OH COME ON!'... coming out more than once. I actually thought I had bought the abridged version because there was so much that didn't come together. No matter what review you read, don't fall for it, don't buy it, like I did, because of the narrator ( I'm still trying to pull the knife out of my chest on that one..oh Kirsten.. what did you do!) and definately don't buy it because you think the description sounds interesting. It's not. I'm trying to save you here. Money as well as & 7 hrs and 2 minutes ( those 2 minutes..ugh).
"I agree.."
I agree with the other audible reviewer who wrote 'What a mess'..the story was all over the place..where did all the killers come from and what in the world happened to them? The ppl that were tortured/killed. where'd they go? And who the heck were some of the characters, getting dropped of somewhat midway and then poof ..gone again. The only thing I knew for certain was that Lizzy herself would be a victim. I'm wondering if the editor actually read this book or just sent it thru knowing it just might sell because of the Lizzy Gardner aspect. Didn't like it. Wouldn't recommend.
"Wish it would've..."
This is a typical serial killer book. The killer is text book to how you've always heard they should be. All stemming from a terrible mother and upbringing and really..when did I figure the female detective would be a captured victim? Well within the first 15 minutes of course. It's very predictable..very run of the mill. The narrator..well let's say I would suggest she never try a male voice again. Its nails on a chalkboard, making some sound slow witted and I personally found it agitating. Some books never die quietly either...
"Not a Mystery"
I had never listened to Lisa Scottoline before and in searching for a book under the 'mysteries/thrillers' came across this and thought it interesting. I am not sure why it was sitting in that particular genre, I didn't find it mysterious or thrilling. Think the story is more about this mothers undying devotion/love to her adopted son and the conflict that goes on within her in the should I or shouldn't I premise. It was slow and not in a good way so you could put the pieces together, but slow as in constantly saying the same thing/visiting the same problem over and over again just said in a slightly different way. The ending fell off the roadway for me. I thought.. I've waited 7 hours for this? That being said, if you ignore the fact this isn't an edge of your seat who dun it, you do feel the emotion of the mother at some points even tho the story gets a little old, Lisa Scottoline was able to project that feeling on you. Mary Stuart Masterson did an excellent job narrating. Didn't care for the Brazilian accent but the little boys voice she did pretty good. Didn't find it irritating like another reviewer. Think her narration made me keep listening to this book. Its a roll the dice book, just don't expect a lot from the genre its sitting in.
"Unbeatable Narration"
Unspeakable was an excellent book. The story catches you and keeps you wondering exactly what is going on. Different than the rest. It was well worth the credit. But the thing that makes this book was Todd Haberkorns spot on performance. Everyone was so different and well acted that there was a couple of times I wondered if it was actually him. I hope to hear him again ,he was so entertaining. he kept me enthralled. Great choice for narrator. It made this book.
"Was hoping for better..."
I did like this book BUT, the narrator was almost robotic at times, a couple of times sounding like she was reading a Dick and Jane book, so simplistic were the words/sentences. I got past it but it would creep up again in the next chapter so it never completely went away. Sometimes it did feel like you may have missed something and I didn't really find the reasoning of the killer that enthralling. There wasn't much depth there. And everything seemed a little too convienient with certain things. I felt at a point that it started to loose direction and things got a little more convienient and not told real well. I also didn't care too much for the ending. Anti climatic. Overall tho, I didn't shut it off, the story kept my interest, even with all this other stuff I didn't care for. I gave it a borderline 3.
"The narration makes this book"
I really liked this book. When I read the synopsis it sounded intriguing and the story was very well written and even better told. Jennifer McMahon lets you get to know the players and writes in a way that you can do that without getting bogged down. Julia Whelan does an exceptional job bringing all those characters to life with her fantastic performance, I didn't even cringe that much when she portrayed the male voices. So she made this for me. Think I might have bent the other way if someone else had read it. Its a good listen. Not a disappointment.
"Somewhat predictable"
This is the only book I have listened to from Jennifer Hillier. I didn't listen to the first and found unless I wanted more of the back story to some of the characters I didn't need to. It stood on it's own. The book was entertaining and overall it kept my interest but it was somewhat predictable. I had figured out half way thru who was helping the killer achieve what she was trying to achieve. I found it somewhat irritating that the woman behind bars, 'Abby', was involved in several different relationships, with different sexes, who would virtually risk their jobs because of wanting to please her. So that had me at the 'oh geez' once or twice. The narrator is OK. She did her best to perform the book just found the male characters grating on my nerves but essentially I find most female narrators giving me that same reaction. Was good. I don't have any desire to listen to the first book tho. That might say something. So perhaps if you are looking to get into a series, you should start there.
This was a wonderful book. Yes, it is simple but not in the way of one reviewer said. One lines and childish. It is told by an imaginary friend of a child. An autistic child. I'm not sure how complicated you would want it to be with that premise. It's simple in the fact there are no twists and turns and complication in the plot and for me, it flowed, didn't leave me with question or whys, it was a complete simple story. Funny, smart and witty, this book had me within 20 minutes. I smiled, I laughed out loud , my heart raced and yes, I even felt a lump in my throat. I got this book because it was different from any other book I had read and I am so very glad I did. If you are looking for different, this would be it. The narrator was also very good. Reminded me a little of Kirby Heybourne, one of my favorites. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves audio.
"Not a mystery or thriller..."
This book was more about the lives of people and how they intertwine, the mistakes and decisions they make, consequences of all those things. I didn't find it intriguing or even find myself trying to guess the who dunnit. Was not mysterious at all. That being said, the characters were well developed and the relationships between them were established in a way that flowed. Liked the narrator, very engaging. So I give it 3 stars, but not for being a well written mystery but because the players were well written. Not for you if your wanting anything gripping.
I did not find this book thrilling or fast paced or a thrill ride. As one reviewer said, it surprises that anyone would. It was OK. Not suspensful. There wasn't a whole lot of detail that went into the back ground of the story and did not find the characters to be that interesting. There wasn't enough explaination as to the 'why's' happening in the story. I found the narrator a little boring. She sounded as if she was actually reading the book as you would to a class, not enough acting it out, gripping you into it. Just boring. The premise of the book could have been a hit, but it's lack of details and relationship between the actors was a miss for me.

Civil engineers from MIT have completed a study in which they have determined that vehicle fuel consumption could be reduced by as much as 3 percent by having stiffer roads. Looking at the way forces interact between the tire and buy chinese herbal viagra the road, the researchers conclude that, "This has the effect of making the tires on the where to buy cialis vehicle drive continuously up a slight slope."
Inefficiencies due to saggy roads are responsible for the use of an extra 273 million barrels of china cialis 50mg soft tab crude oil per year (costing $15.6 billion at today's oil prices) and producing CO2 emissions of 46.5 million metric tons. In addition to the fuel savings, building better roads would reduce maintenance costs, providing long-term savings and improved national infrastructure.
"We're wasting fuel unnecessarily because pavement design has been based solely on minimizing initial costs more than performance — how well the pavement holds up — when it should also take into account the environmental footprint of pavements based on variations in external conditions," according to Mehdi Akbarian, one of the study's authors.
With over 8.5 million lane miles making up the US roadway network, it would take a long time to revamp the use cialis entire system. But the results of the study could be applied to the best choice levitra tablets make improvements to the way roads are repaired and maintained, leading to a better road system over time.

Good news
Some Chinese company already beat them to it, though I doubt they care about patents. But they have a case for the itouch that turns it into a phone.
Apple Peel 520 iPod touch Phone Case
I wouldn't buy one cause I have an iPhone but cool
why do we need this?
so it's basically a iphone without contracts, i'm fine with that
Why would you want this with an iPod Touch, just buy an iPhone. The CDMA version of the iPhone will be out before this thing. And that's not an iPod Touch in the patent drawings, that's an iPhone (notice the speaker).
So if you were out in the middle of the rocky mountains you could use it to make an emergency satellite call. That would be my only use.
If it's possible, only reason for Apple to patent it is to stop others using it. I mean, why would a phone manufacturer ever plan to release a device that removes the need for a phone?
This would be nice to have
Those are really bad iPhone drawings. So is this goin to be a box to plug into the dock?
Sorry to burst anyone's bubble but Apple put a patent on it so no one can make it not because they plan on making it.
Hopefully it's not to big and bulky for those of you that want one
So then what would be the point of even buying an iPod/iPad?? If you want to makes calls from either why not just go with an iPhone?? This is pretty dumb... in some ways of corse. For others of corse I could see why they would want this.
Like to see the idiot holding there iPad up against there head as a phone!! lol
Even though I know the headphones would be needed since there's no ear piece in the iPad.
Also, it's impossible for any company to (legally) prevent the use of their idea. They can sue, but if they're not making use of their invention, and gave the other company no option to license it, the court will simply determine "reasonable royalty fee" that the infringer must pay. Apple would have to file for an injunction, and would have a difficult time convincing a court in a case where their evident goal was simply to suppress an invention rather than use it for their own gain.
Also, all this is ignoring prior art (Mifi, anyone?).
than y have iPhone at all if your making ipad nd toches into cellphone. It just doesnt make sense.

Lauralee Beckham, a former exotic dancer and now sex offender, was sentenced to seven years after pleading guilty to sex with a minor.
It's the same courthouse where two weeks ago, teacher Michael Lander stripped down to underwear to defend himself.
It didn't work, and he was sentenced to life in prison.
Tampa defense attorney Jeff Brown says there is a double standard.
"There is no question the same crime committed by both a male and a female, the woman is probably going to get a better sentence a better deal than the male will," Brown said.
Brown says there's a reason for it.
"I don't think we have to draw a line for women to date a 12 year old boy. I don't think women want to date 12 year old boys. I think it's more of a mental health issue. I think women don't need to know that's inappropriate," Brown said.
But licensed psychologist Jeremy Gaies say there are women predators, and they're just as dangerous.
"Even though they may be well be aware it's against the law and it's immoral and unethical, and they pursue a sexual relationship with that child.
Debra LaFave's attorney once said she was too pretty for prison, and she never spent a day prison, despite having sex with a student in her car, in her apartment, and in her classroom.
And last month, former teacher of the year Ethel Anderson was convicted for sex acts with a 12 year old student. He told the jury about it in court last month.
"She would rub on my legs and kiss on my ears stuff like that. It was living every student's dream," the boy said.
And that, Brown says, is part of the double standard.
"It's a badge of honor if you were gonna date your high school or college professor," Brown said.
Anderson has not been sentenced. She faces up 135 years in prison.
"Yeah, she's not going to get anything close to that," Brown said.

A main break sent water rushing in an area along Hurricane Road Saturday night.
More than 10,000 people are expected to turn out for Friday's food truck festival in downtown Huntsville. The festivals are now monthly events. They're bringing in the cash and new trucks are popping up on just about every corner. But are they serving you safe food?
Madison County boasts nearly three dozen food trucks. The eccentric eatables range from bacon-lettuce wraps to wood-fired pizzas. According to the Madison County Health Department, the mobile cooking craze is catching on so fast that entrepreneurs are calling them daily to request a state required inspection and food permit.
"We're on display like a fishbowl," said I Love Bacon food truck co-owner Keith Hill. And for Hill, food safety is the most important part of his business.
"All it takes is one mishap and we're out of business, said Hill.
But what does it take to shut down one of these trucks? We went straight to the Madison County Health Department for the answer.
"They go through the same inspections as restaurants," said the health department's Marcus Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald does health inspections for the state. According to Fitzgerald, food trucks have an additional step they need to pass before the state gives them the okay to start cooking.
"To have a mobile food permit or a food truck permit, and this even applies to the hotdog carts, they're required to have a commissary as well, which is a base of operation," said Fitzgerald.
That means they must have a store front or home base. Food trucks, like restaurants, are also required to post their food permit and inspection score. Any customer can request to see it if it's not visible.
Health inspectors are required to visit food trucks and restaurants every few months for inspections. Scores range from 0 to 100. A business must make at least an 85 to stay in compliance. Scores below that will result in additional inspections. A score below 60, and the state shuts the eatery down.
We pulled all food truck inspections from the Alabama Department of Public Health. Over the last 12 months 27 trucks were inspected. All 27 were in compliance. 23 trucks scored a 95 or higher and only one truck, the Taqueria Los Tres Riales, scored in the 80's.
