New Manufacturing Job Losses Reveal Folly of Obama's Feel-Good China Summit
Alan Tonelson
Friday, June 07, 2013
Alan Tonelson is a Research Fellow at the U.S. Business & Industry Educational Foundation and the author of The Race to the Bottom: Why a Worldwide Worker Surplus and Uncontrolled Free Trade are Sinking American Living Standards (Westview Press).
The new U.S. manufacturing job losses revealed in this mornings Labor Department data once again make painfully clear that President Obamas China policies are failing domestic industry and the broader American economy. This new data also show that the Presidents upcoming summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping is completely misconceived.
Indeed, despite President Obamas claims of a domestic manufacturing renaissance, U.S.-based industrys share of total nonfarm employment has now sunk to 8.82 percent below even its level in February, 2010, when manufacturing employment reached its absolute low point during the recession. The reason: Since that time, manufacturing has re-added jobs less than one-third as fast as the total nonfarm economy.
Given the continually rising, manufacturing-dominated, job-killing U.S. merchandise trade
deficit with China, and Beijings ongoing trade and broader economic transgressions, the U.S. economy doesnt need a feel-good, getting-to-know-you meeting with Chinas leader. A regime that has long pursued a mercantile, beggar-thy-neighbor growth strategy wont change course because of Mr. Obamas personal charm.
In fact, the time for talk in U.S.-China economic relations has long since passed. Chinas bilateral trade surplus is rebounding from its recessionary lows and as a share of its economy. Chinas promises to forsake export-led growth are still coming up empty. And Chinas predatory policies of currency manipulation, intellectual property theft, and illegal industry subsidization are either continuing apace of worsening. As a result, Washington must begin rebalancing the dangerously lopsided bilateral economic relationship with tough and smart unilateral actions.
First and foremost, Congress should immediately pass and the President should promptly sign new legislation that would expand federal authority to offset
the effects of ongoing currency manipulation by China and many other competitors with trade sanctions. Similar action is needed on a border adjustment tax to eliminate the massive, trade deficit-fueling effects of value-added taxes implemented by China and most other members of the World Trade Organization.
In addition, the United States urgently needs a Team B-type exercise to map out a national China strategy to replace todays failed economic and security approaches. This effort should include knowledgeable critics of the China policy status quo who would be tasked with identifying the major weaknesses of current U.S. policies and their costs, and recommending specific, concrete replacements.
The May jobs data not only reported an 8,000 month-to-month loss of manufacturing jobs. They also revealed that rather than flat-lining in April, manufacturing employment actually fell by 9,000, and that rather than gaining 2,000 jobs in March, the sector lost 4,000 jobs.
According to the new figures, the manufacturing sector has now gained 507,000 jobs since its recessionary bottom in January and February of 2010. But industry has lost 21,000 jobs since its last peak this February. From the year-end 2007 onset of the recession through the employment trough, U.S. manufacturing employment nosedived by 2.29 million.
By contrast, since the recessionary bottom, overall U.S. nonfarm employment is up by 6.32 million. This means that manufacturing employment has rebounded much more slowly than overall employment, recovering 22.14 percent of its lost recession jobs. The total nonfarm sector has recovered 72.48 percent of the 8.72 million jobs it shed from the start of the recession through its February, 2010 employment bottom.
Manufacturing jobs are now down to 8.82 percent of total nonfarm employment lower than their 8.86 percent share at the February, 2010 absolute employment low point, and far below the 9.96 percent share they enjoyed when the recession began

As well as night sweats, poor concentration, etc., my husband says that I smell strange - is this usual?
This is quite common as hormone levels fall. Lower hormone levels can affect the friendly bacteria and mucus secretion in the vagina, sometimes causing a different smell. I would suggest a course of probiotics and Molkosan Vitality for a couple of months. Make sure too, that you don't get constipated or dehydrated as these could be contributory factors.

DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan Shares Her Vision for NYC's Future
At some point or another, we've all been frustrated by the mean streets of NYC. Whether it's due to the congested roads, delayed and crowded mass transit, or the lack of sufficient bike lanes, everyone seems to have a different opinion on how to improve transportation in the city. But if the future of New York City's infrastructure is anything like the Department of Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Kahn's vision, then maybe there's a glimmer of hope for addressing some of NYC's difficult congestion problems.
"New York City is a global leader in everything from fashion to food to finance—but (we) cannot afford to take this position for granted," said Sadik-Khan in a column on Slate. "We compete with cities around the world to attract and retain businesses and people. Building streets that make it easier to get around and make the city more attractive for businesses and residents is a key economic-development strategy for New York."
Promoting economic development through a more efficient infrastructure using environmental sustainability principles is all part of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's PlaNYC project, launched in 2007, and already making huge improvements throughout the city.
"Early successes include new pedestrian areas in Times Square and other sites around the city, a new model for bus service and an expanded cycling network." said Sadik-Khan, a fervent supporter of the Mayor's initiative.
Sadik-Khan also talks about some of the innovations the city is working on in an effort to improve traffic flow and congestion. Currently, the DOT is working on developing state of the art traffic-management technology for vehicles. The city has already put some of these projects into effect Midtown Manhattan, including hardwiring "streets in a 110-square-block area with microwave sensors, traffic video cameras, and antennae to improve traffic." Using advanced traffic algorithms, traffic engineers are now able to implement traffic-light changes in real time all with "the push of a button" in order to minimize congestion.
Pedestrians will also be getting some much need relief as well. The city is implementing a comprehensive information system "geared specifically to navigating New York on foot." Part of this includes adding to the city's 1.3 million street signs by creating new and improved "wayfinding" signs "with clear neighborhood-level maps that provide walking times to nearby landmarks and adjacent districts."
And finally, one of our personal favorites, the much talked about private sector sponsored public biking system will also be launching soon, as the city prepares to unveil new biking lanes and the final results of the public biking program.
"More travel choices, reduced congestion, and a streetscape that reflects the city's social, entrepreneurial, and cultural vitality will keep New York at the top of the list of the world's best cities," writes Sadik-Khan. We couldn't agree more.

Subject: Re: Fw: Nightline Tonight Mon., March 14, 2005
That was my son's unit. He was killed on that day 04/04/04. Here is a letter that I wrote to NightLine about the broadcast:
Cindy Sheehan
March 15, 2005
To Whom it May Concern:
Imagine my distress when I turned Night Line on last night and I was confronted with the gory details of my son's murder in Sadr City, Baghdad, Iraq on 04/04/04. Imagine, also, my sorrow and rage at the side of the story that you presented to the American public.
I was on the Night Line Townhall Meeting in Washington, DC on 01/27/05. After I spoke (which I think was a fluke), Ted Koppel dismissed me as being "emotional." First of all, how can I approach this discussion without emotions, MY SON WAS KILLED, AND KILLED FOR LIES? Second of all, that show was not fair and balanced and I think the conclusion "Should we stay" was foregone.
The show last night was also not fair and balanced. To see all the wives being interviewed who had not lost their husbands and to hear what "hard work" it is to be left behind when their husbands are at war. How hard to you think it is to have a child killed in an illegal and immoral war? In this "wonderful" group of families left behind, we had exactly ONE of the wives call us..she is Diane Rose who was my son's Colonel, Frank Rose's wife. The last time we heard from Diane was in October and we feel we have been left behind by anyone connected to the 2-5 Cavalry. Is support only given if your loved one stays alive? One wife was quoted as saying that Sundays were the hardest for the families left behind. My son was killed on Palm Sunday last year..how does anybody think Sundays are for my family?
Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know full-well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were betrayed by a George Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda after 9/11. We were told that we were attacked on 9/11 because the terrorists hate our freedoms and democracy...not for the real reason, becuase the Arab-Muslims who attacked us hate our middle-eastern foreign policy. That hasn't changed since America invaded and occupied Iraq...in fact it has gotten worse.
It would be so amazing if your show would put me, or another parent who lost their child on who disagrees with the war and this administration: to have just an entire show..without presenting the false side of the debate. That would take a lot of courage and integrity. I hope your program will exhibit these qualities.
I also think that Mr. Koppel owes me an apology for the rude way I was treated on his show. After I expressed myself about the war being based on lies and that the troops should be brought home immediately because the war was based on lies, I was not thanked for my comments, or my son's sacrifice. He just said to keep the discussion away from emotions. Then, the wife of a soldier who was killed was allowed to speak and she praised the policies of this deplorable and despicable administration, and she was thanked and praised by the panel.
I will try to post some. But please, join me in searching for them and putting her current PR campaign in perspective.
This statement alone proves that the DU Moonbat crowd and their financiers have gotten to her and are paying her.
The Zionists must have killed her son.
She's really cracking up, isn't she? How sad.
Wait a minute... Is Cindy Sheehan actually the author of the DNC / Moveon.org talking points or is she merely parroting them?
I knew those evil Joooos where behind this! </sarcasm... obviously
She's a pig.
She's an anti-Semite as well!
Wow. This lady has some serious problems. I hope O'Reilly sees this. He ought to ask her about these comments.
The left has highjacked the term to mean anyone to the right of Marx.
Hadi Jawad, spokseman for the Crawford Peace House helping Cindy Sheehan and supports with food and water during their protest, said today that is was a 'changing and fluid situation right now' with authorities keeping a close eye on the group and warning them about possible tresspassing violations.
Anyone got a background check on this guy???
99% of libs are bigots. It just takes and argument for them to show themselves.
Game, set, match, Mom.
Now I'm confused. Her son was killed in Israel?
She's spewing the same Jewhating crap you see at every Jewhating site.
*Great* research, Sam.
Well there we have it. This pathetic woman has been totally brainwashed by the evil, loony left.
That script reads straight from the Michael Moore/ Noam Chomsky Blame America First Party. Why does no one challenge her on these views when she is interviewed?
You know, I used to think she should STFU, but I'm beginning to believe she should just keep on going on. It's not helping the appeasment bunch.
<sarcasm>I didn't realize that all of the soldiers that had been killed in Iraq were Jewish...</sarcasm>
What an anti-Semitic piece of crap.
They usually are.
Her remarks could be considered anti-Semitical. That Israel benefitted incidentally should not be her focus.
Why is this woman getting airtime?
She's gone way over the edge from grieving mother to barking left-wing moonbat.
man o man. it's getting to the point where an electric storm accident would not break my heart.
this woman is a total fruit cake and needs to bite the leather strap.
Calling Bob Villa! Please show this woman how to tighten her loose screws.
Its code for conservative jew.
This needs to go to Rush, Hannity, Mark Levin, The Corner at NRO.
I first read this as "changing fluid situation" and thought, "Ewww...what does that mean??"
I sincerely doubt Cindy could tell anyone exactly what a "neocon" is supposed to be. It's just code-talk and people who use the term are not called on it enough.
If she couldn't even get empathy from Ted Koppel, this lady might want to consider that she does have serious emotional problems.
[She fails to notice that Koppel is, basically, on the same Leftist/Lib team that she is on.]
Is she a member of Islam?
I really think she is..
can we ship her to the middle east?
Granted, other people have not responded the way she has under similar circumstances. That does not mean she hasn't been affected profoundly by this.
When my cousin died in Vietnam, one of his brother isolated himself from the family for nearly 15 years. His sister enlisted and made full colnel before retiring.
This is not a mothers spontaneous sorrow and rage, just moonbat boilerplate.
That is straight from the moonbat DU site.
Astoundingly sad. The woman is VERIFIABLY off-kilter in a big, big way, and I do not envy her grief. Not that it makes her actions right now in any way excuseable, but rather it compounds the tragedy.
What disturbs me more that that, though, is that the media is flatly refusing to see her as damaged goods.
Aha, so there are two sides to every story! The completely true side and the completely false side - and the completely false side doesn't count.
Cindy, keep talking - PLEASE keep talking.
You tell me the truth. You tell me that my son died for oil. You tell me that my son died to make your friends rich. You tell me my son died to spread the cancer of pax Americana, imperialism in the Middle East. You tell me that, you dont tell me my son died for freedom and democracy.
Cuz, were not freer. Youre taking away our freedoms. The Iraqi people arent freer, theyre much worse off than before you meddled in their country.
You get America out of Iraq, you get Israel out of Palestine
She should have a love affair with Ray McGovern.
Kooks of a feather go batty together.
I'm totally confised:
If President Bush is just a modern day Hitler (MoveOn.org says so anyway) then why is he sacrificing the lives of Americans just to protect Israel and the NWO/Bliderberger/Masonic/Templar/NeoCon/BlackHelicopter Jews?
THAT WITCH! Sorry but this really makes me mad!
Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel.
Terrorists killed her son and she blames everyone but them. It's mental illness for sure.
Hadi Jawad, need I say more. If it looks like a moo, and talks like a moo, and stands with people like this... then it must be a moo.
Oooops! Her leftist coaches forget to tell her that some cornerstones of their agenda are for "Internal Use Only."
That is completely in the realm of possibility and the reason I still pray for her.

text: It's no secret that the United Nations, with assistance from members of the Executive and Legislative branches in the United States, has been actively working to reduce Americans' accessibility to firearms. In 2012 President Obama, along with then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, spearheaded a backdoor move that would have imposed gun control on the United States through foreign means by signing a global disarmament initiative known as the Small Arms Treaty. Though that attempt failed, mass shooting incidents at Sandy Hook and elsewhere have kept the pressure on gun owners with the President having made repeated suggestions that he would mandate gun restrictions through Executive Order should state and federal legislatures fail to act. Given the rocky history between America's gun owners and the United Nations, chances are that the push for disarmament will continue with more ferver than ever before. In fact, a recent job posting at the United Nations website suggests that the organization is not only working to get guns out of the hands of American citizens, they are actively preparing personnel to assist in what they call "disarmament, demobilization and reintegration" activities. And if that's not bad enough, the duty station for this key U.N. Peacekeeping Operations department is New York city, suggesting that the organization believes such operations may be commencing in the United States at some point in the future. If you'd like to join them in their efforts to confiscate firearms then you can apply directly at the United Nations Career Opportunities page: Read More At: http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/united-nations-seeks-us-based-disarmament-demobilization-and-reintegration-specialists_06242014

For a lot of us, the fact that we can plug our Android phone or tablet into our computer and interact with it is a big plus. Besides the times when we've broken something and need to fix it, there are plenty of reasons why an advanced Android user would want to talk to his or her device. To do that, you need to have a few tools and know a few commands. That's what we're going to talk about today. Granted, this won't be the end-all be-all discussion of adb commands, but there are 10 basic commands everyone should know if they plan to get down and dirty with the command line.
The tools are easy. If you're a Mac or Linux user, you'll want to install the SDK as explained at the Android developers site. It's not hard, and you don't have the whole driver mess that Windows users do. Follow the directions and get things set up while I talk to the Windows using folks for a minute.
If you're using Windows, things are easier and harder at the same time. The tools themselves are the easy part. Download this file. Open the zip file and you'll see a folder named android-tools. Drag that folder somewhere easy to get to. Next, visit the manufacturers page for your device and install the adb and fastboot drivers for Windows. You'll need this so that your computer can talk to your Android device. If you hit a snag, visit the forums and somebody is bound to be able to help you through it.
Now that we're all on the same page, enable USB debugging on your device (see your devices manual if you need help finding it, and remember it was hidden in Android 4.2), and plug it in to your computer. Now skip past the break and let's begin!

Same here, Donna. We've had a couple of 90 degree days already. Last week
was cooler, and rain was predicted but only light showers developed. This week
has been in the upper 80s and it looks like going to 90 again today. Again
rain was predicted but only showers. I really hate it when we are this dry
going into the summer. I have not planted a lot of things, hoping for more
moderate conditions, but today I found that slugs are getting into my holding
space, so I guess I'd better get them out of there. After the late start - things
were really slow starting - everything seems to have just exploded out of the
ground. My carefully selected six-weeks span of daffodil varieties all
bloomed in a two week period. Spectacular, but frustrating.
This morning I was greeted by four open blooms on my tree peony - yesterday
the buds weren't even showing color. Crazy!

Boston trustees give resident one more chance to clean up sites
The Boston Board of Trustees, at the July 24 meeting, agreed to give resident Bobby Pruitt one more chance to salvage junk cars, tires and other items from property owned by his mother, Lura Jean Brown.
The township obtained a court order requiring Pruitt to comply with township zoning regulations and clear the property of trash and debris two years ago, according to Trustee Chairman Amy Anderson.
Pruitt and Cuyahoga Falls attorney Ken Fickey, who described himself as a high school friend of Pruitt's, presented trustees with a plan to have the property cleared in 60 days and prevent trustees from hiring a salvage company to clear the property at Pruitt's expense.
Anderson and Trustee Gerald Ritch said they were unwilling to give Pruitt another chance, since he failed to execute previous cleanup plans submitted to the board. Anderson and Ritch said they thought Pruitt had made very little progress in cleaning up the property and the township had waited long enough.
Fickey told trustees he became involved to try to help Pruitt salvage some of the property himself, allowing Pruitt to keep the cash generated by selling salvageable items instead of owing money to a salvage company. Fickey said he had taken a "cursory" look at the court order and thought there were problems with how the judgment was obtained. He said if trustees did not allow Pruitt another chance to clear the property, Fickey would comply with Pruitt's request to take legal action against the township.
Anderson asked township legal counsel Edward Pullekins what could be wrong with the court order obtained by the township.
Pullekins said he did not think there were any issues with the court order that would give Pruitt the basis for legal action.
Following an executive session to discuss possible litigation, trustees agreed to give Pruitt until Sept. 25 to clear the property. Pullekins was instructed to send Fickey a letter with a cleanup schedule developed by trustees. The schedule requires Pruitt to report to trustees at the Aug. 14 meeting that he accepts the schedule. The schedule requires Pruitt to clear the Geoppert Road parcel by Aug. 28 and to have the Akron-Cleveland Road parcel cleared by Sept. 25. Failure to comply with the schedule will result in enforcement of the court order with the township clearing the property.
In other action, trustees:
- noted the Boston Township Hall roofing project will begin in October. Trustee Randy Bergdorf said the Boston Township Hall Committee realized a $6,500 savings on the slate when the vendor offered the committee material from a project that was canceled;
- accepted a proposal to sand and paint windows in the trustees' meeting space;
- heard Summit County Council passed the township's proposed Joint Economic Activity District (JEAD) proposal to the Summit County Board of Elections for the November ballot;
- heard details of the proposed contract for fire and rescue services between the Valley Fire District and the village of Boston Heights. Anderson said details of the contract have been hammered out, but it still needs to be approved by Boston Heights and Valley Fire District members Boston Township and Peninsula Village. Anderson said she hoped, if the contract is approved, the cooperation among the three entities would make the fire department a more attractive grant applicant; and
- continued their discussion of the possible annexation by Cuyahoga Falls of property surrounding Wetmore Road. Trustees said they may reject Cuyahoga Falls' proposal, as the annexation would cost the township revenue should the township's JEAD be approved by voters and Payment in Lieu of Taxes funding from the federal government.
The next regular Boston Board of Trustees meeting will be Aug. 14 at 6:30 p.m. in the administrative offices at Boston Township Hall, located at the corner of Main Street and Riverview Road in Peninsula.

For the evidence is now overwhelming that there are two Bill Clintons: the sinner, of woman born, and the saint, a brilliant creation of political science.
The Sinner is greedy, gluttonous, lustful, deceitful and power-mad. The Saint is a selfless, compassionate, abstemious, earnest, patriotic family man. The Sinner transforms the White House into a hotel for status-hungry millionaires; he drops his pants for big-haired floozies; he fraternises with roguish bank swindlers; he sells out the welfare mothers and their children to keep the millionaires sweet; he will do anything, but anything, to stay in power.
The Saint talks about building bridges to the 21st century, about feeling the pain of America's poor, about children and about putting people first. He deplores cigarette smoking and, from the bottom of his heart, proclaims, "That is wrong!"
Dolly had Dr Ian Wilmut, the embryologist. Mr Clinton had Dick Morris, the White House spin-meister, image-maker, and election guru variously described as a Rasputin, Richelieu and Merlin. It was through the good spin-doctor Morris's alchemic ministrations that Clinton was able to transform the base matter nature bequeathed him into two-time electoral gold.
Mr Morris left the White House in disgrace last year after it was discovered that he had a weakness for sucking prostitutes' toes at the Jefferson Hotel. But by then the metastasis was complete. Long hours in the Oval Office sucking on the presidential udder had yielded the formula for success in the November 1996 election: as Hamlet said of Claudius, smile and smile and be a villain. And, when the occasion demands it, bite that lower lip, mist over those pale blue eyes.
The cameras caught the original and the clone last year after a funeral service for Ron Brown, the Secretary of Commerce and "close friend" of Clinton the Saint, killed in a plane crash in Bosnia. Clinton the Sinner stepped out of the funeral service laughing his head off at some joke an aide had told him. When he saw that the cameras were upon him, the Sinner stepped back into the shadows and, in the blink of an eye, the Saint emerged in his place, head bowed, his face the picture of grief.
That is the one piece of evidence the Clinton clones have left to science. Otherwise the White House sheep-trick has been pulled off with consistently masterly sleight of hand. The Sinner leads a shielded existence behind closed doors, the Saint is the public face.
But the weakness in this colossal subterfuge was that too many people knew about it. Sooner or later someone would crack or give the game away.
Such a man was John Huang, Clinton's Asian connection, the old Arkansas pal and extorter extraordinaire whose zeal to rake up money from Indonesian magnates, Chinese arms-dealers and Buddhist monks so that Dr Morris could continue his election-winning experiments - the polls, the focus groups - burnt just a little too bright. The reporters found him out and then everything else started to unravel, culminating in last week's revelation that the Sinner had a list in his computer of 355,000 super-rich, super- vain people who could be relied on to cough up 50 or a 100 or more thousand dollars for the chance to spend the rest of their lives reminding everyone they had sipped coffee with the president at the White House.
And there was the memo last week on which the Sinner scrawled the message "ready to start overnights right away". The "overnights" were the 938 superlatively bountiful donors who spent the night at the White House Hilton's two presidential suites, the Lincoln Bedroom and the Queen's Bedroom. Steven Spielberg, Richard Dreyfuss, Jack Nicholson, Barbra Streisand. It was such fun for the rascalous groupie-in-chief: celebrities who your average American would kill to shake hands with actually stayed under your roof and then - wondrously, unbelievably - bought into the whole cloning scam by handing over loads of money and then going out and giving campaign speeches effusively praising the Saint.
When this came out (and more, like the plans to sell flights aboard Air Force One) it was the Saint, of course, who was wheeled out for the cameras. "They were my friends," he told a press conference, hurt, righteously indignant. "I did not have any strangers here."
The clone was telling the truth for, Morris having taken George Washington as his genetic model, he cannot tell a lie. How was he to know that among the friends the Sinner had invited were a Lebanese businessman wanted for embezzlement whom Interpol had spent eight years trying to arrest?
For those in the know it is painful to see the virtuous clone standing there, so genuinely mortified, having to endure the barbs and contumely of the insolent press. It was he, after all, who on Friday had the decency to return $1.5m (pounds 925,000) worth of donations the Sinner had illicitly accumulated. It was he, after all, whom 25 per cent of eligible voters chose as their commander-in-chief in November.
And the pity of it is that though both Sinner and Saint will last their four-year term - unless it turns out that it is true the Chinese government also contributed to the election coffers - historians' memories will not be fond. When the Sinner, who owes $2.3m in legal fees, and Morris were working at their experiments they dreamed they would create a clone that would break into "the upper tier" of American presidents. Alas, that dream has died. The power goes to Clinton, but it is to Dolly that the honour and the glory will belong for evermore.

That leaves a catalogue of extremes, determined by some good new work (Michael Berkeley's Baa Baa Black Sheep at Opera North) and some bad (Michael Finnissey's excruciating Therese Raquin on a Garden Venture tour). It was a promising year for rare Verdi (Stiffelio at Covent Garden) and Tchaikovsky (Cherevichki at Wexford and, in concert, at the QEH); a fascinating one for Debussy's Pelleas (at the Garden and in Peter Brook's reduced version at the Glasgow Tramway). Above all it has been a year for Wagner, with Welsh National's superb Tristan providing a long-deserved platform for Anne Evans's Isolde, and a Covent Garden Meistersinger introducing Thomas Allen (Beckmesser) and John Tomlinson (Sachs) to roles that were out of their normal orbit but magnificently done. Also new to the piece were Graham Vick, who directed, and Bernard Haitink, who conducted; and the fundamental quality of their collective work was an invigorating freshness - buoyant and clean, it came unburdened by the dead weight of designer concepts. So this Meistersinger is my opera of 1993; and it bears witness to the fact that, after some rough years artistically, Covent Garden has regained its confidence and style. The arrival of Nicholas Payne (late of Opera North) as Opera Director has been no bad thing: at last there's someone at the helm who really knows the repertory.

An "elevator speech" gives you an opportunity to provide the most important information about you to everyone you come in contact with. You want a succinct personal introduction on your most important skills, accomplishments, and assets. You will include your college, major, and any relevant facts about your academic interests and motivations in this initial conversation. Previous experience as well as volunteer and co-curricular pursuits can also be included. You will also want to include your areas of interest and what type of career you are looking to gain experience in.

Begin your internship search by contacting friends, family, faculty, and former employers. These  connections might know of existing opportunities or know of people currently working in the career field that is of interest to you. Faculty are a good source to consider when looking for internships since they usually know of other students who have had similar interests to yours and who may have completed internships in the field.
Informational interviews are a great way to connect with alumni from your college as well as connecting with professionals currently working in the field. Be sure to prepare a list of questions and ask about any entry level opportunities that the employer might have available. At the end of the interview, you can ask the interviewer if they know of anyone else in the field that you should be talking to.Career fairs are a way to meet many employers in one day and provides an opportunity to distribute your resume. Be sure to have your "elevator speech" prepared and be ready to follow up with a thank you note to each interviewer you've spoken to directly.Although you may be just visiting a friend or attending a neighborhood party, take these opportunities to speak with people about areas of interest to you and your interest in finding an internship. These are great opportunities to meet new people in a casual and informal environment and letting them know that you are seeking to find an internship in business, government, art, etc...
Professional associations can provide a new list of contacts for networking. Most associations hold annual conferences where you can learn more about the field as well meet those already working in the field. Associations also provide an opportunity to read publications and trade journals that professionals in the field are currently reading. Many associations offer discount student memberships. For example, the American Management Association offers students an annual membership for $95 versus $225 for professionals.

Read everything you can to learn more about the field and to find the types of organizations where people in this field get hired. You also want to find typical job titles that exist. Newspapers, internet job sites such as  Monster and  Career Builder, offer information on current jobs in the field. This information will be helpful as you connect with people since you will be able to articulate the type of job you are looking to get experience in by participating in an internship. Professionals will be more likely to take an active interest in your search if you have taken the time to do your  research.
Developing relationships will keep you in the communication loop and provide you with ties to important contacts and key players. By helping others in their development, you will establish mutually beneficial relationships that can exist throughout your career. This is what networking is all about.
Show your appreciation by sending thank you notes when appropriate. Sending thank you notes as a follow up to informational interviews and career fairs is not only courteous but will also create a favorable impression for the employer and may lead to future opportunities within the organization.
Maintain your network by keeping in touch with the people you meet and be sure to update them on your progress. This will help ensure an ongoing mutual relationship where networking becomes beneficial to both parties.

Certain themes frequently appear in contemporary Filipino cinema: corrupt politicians (if you can't buy 'em, kill 'em), dirty cops for hire, criminal gangs creating monopolies, and the wealthy elite eternally sneering at the poor. The capital Manila alternates between luxurious gated communities, wide-open nightlife, and depressing shantytowns. Stories of village life may focus on the natural beauty of the countryside or the desires of the young to get to the big cities for jobs and excitement. Love is a strong undercurrent - a parent's love for his/her children, youthful beginners' love, and the undying love of couples. Religious fervor is shown in over-crowded processions and quiet chapels - when you have nothing or feel lost, then God and the saints must help. Historical films portray rebellion and revolution opposing a multitude of occupations - Spanish (377 years), American (48 years), and Japanese (3 years) - untiil Independence in 1946.

By Paula Schleis
Beacon Journal staff writer
TALLMADGE: Hoping to avoid a repeat of the bizarre political twists that occurred after the city's mayor resigned last year, a Charter Review Commission has proposed changes on how elected officials are replaced.
The 11-member commission — formed once a decade to identify problems in the city charter — has submitted to City Council 21 amendments for the November's ballot.
Many of them are minor housekeeping issues, like adjusting language to reflect there is no longer a city ''treasurer.'' Council has said it may condense some proposals to make things easier on voters.
The more significant changes grew out of issues that surfaced when Mayor Chris Grimm stepped down in April 2010 with nearly two years left on his term.
Grimm, who was the Charter Review Commission's vice chairman, noted that only two mayors have resigned in the last half-century, so it's not an issue that comes up often.
''But after what happened last year, everyone looked at it and said, 'Oh, we gotta deal with this,' '' Grimm said.
Here are the highlights:
• Proposal: The City Council president, who automatically becomes acting mayor when a mayor resigns midterm, has seven days to decide whether to become interim mayor and serve until an appropriate election.
Current charter: No time limit to decide.
Issue: Some officials were frustrated last year when former council President Jack Sarver spent nearly a month considering whether to take the post. By the time Sarver decided
he wanted the job, his council colleagues had moved on to support another candidate.
• Amendment: The interim mayor would keep the seat until the next municipal election, which is held every other year.
Current charter: The interim serves until the following general election.
Issue: City Council named Service Director David Kline to the interim spot, but he then had to run in November's general election because there was another year left on Grimm's term. Kline now will have to mount another campaign this November for the regular municipal election.
• Amendment: If there is no time for a primary election to fill a mayoral vacancy, each party's precinct committee members who live in Tallmadge will nominate the candidates for the municipal election.
Current charter: Each county party organization selects a nominee based on its own rules.
Issue: The Summit County Democratic Party nominated Kline, but some Tallmadge households are in Portage County and a party member in that county was not invited to vote.
The Summit County Republican Party took the matter out of the hands of the precinct committee altogether, and had its executive board make the nomination.
Each party contested the way the other party handled the matter and the state had to rule on the case.
Grimm said there was some brief discussion on whether to address another issue that is even rarer than a mayor stepping down midterm.
When council refused to appoint Sarver interim mayor, he changed political parties. The predominantly Democratic council objected to Sarver remaining council president as a Republican, because the Democrats had voted him into that post.
''Sarver stepped down on his own. We discussed this, but decided not to proceed with it [as a charter amendment],'' Grimm said.
The commission has proposed similar replacement language for the elected posts of law and finance director.
There are two other charter recommendations not related to replacing elected officials.
One amendment would reduce the terms for board and commission members from six years to four. Grimm said six years is a long commitment, and many folks end up resigning because they run for other offices or are appointed to other posts.
The other proposal would allow the city to seek bids from a general contractor for major projects. The general contractor would then deal with subcontractors.
Because the current charter does not allow it, the city must follow state statute in seeking bids for every type of work individually, from plumbing to electrical.
Grimm said that in a recent project, subcontractors who didn't get along ended up suing each other.

"This book is excellent." - ICSR.com
"This book traces the contrasting ways in which insurgents and counterinsurgents use novel media platforms in irregular conflict. In three case studies based on government and policy reports and interviews, the public affairs policies of US, British, and Israeli conventional forces are examined, and their media-related counterinsurgency methods are compared with the Web-based methods devised by al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and Hezbollah to advertise their political agenda, influence public opinion, and put violent ideas into action.

There are problems with verb tenses, point of view, singular/plural forms, and word choice.
The organization and development of the paper are quite good.
I'd give this paper a 4; it could be at least a 5 if the grammar/usage/diction errors were addressed.
I give it a 5.
Mercedes: I noticed you took the criticism we gave, and used it. Well done. Not many students do that.

Welsh winger Bale has starred for Spurs this season, while Suarez and Van Persie are the only two players to have grabbed more than 20 Premier League goals this season.
The trio are joined by Chelsea pair Juan Mata and Eden Hazard, with veteran Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick receiving his first ever nomination.
There is no space for Swansea forward Michu, who many believe has been the signing of the season, while the list does not include any goalkeepers or defenders.
Bale and Hazard have also been named in the PFA Young Player of the Year shortlist alongside Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck and Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere.
Aston Villa frontman Christian Benteke and West Brom's on-loan striker Romelu Lukaku are included in the nominations for the award to recognise players aged 23 or below.
For the first time, there is a Women's Player of the Year award, with Scotland's Kim Little taking on Jordan Nobbs, Gemma Davison, Toni Duggan, Jessica Fishlock and Jodie Taylor.

The Cardiff Blues silenced even their loudest critics with a comprehensive whipping of the team who went into the weekend as leaders on the Celtic League points table.
The Blues winger Lee Abdul, who was not even in the coach, Dai Young's original squad, bagged four tries as the Arms Park side cut loose against the dreadful Ospreys.
The Robinson brothers, the stand-off Nick and centre Jamie, ran the game as the Blues hooker, Gareth Williams - strangely left out of the Welsh World Cup squad because of injury - beat Abdul to the man of the match award.
"This was a huge win for us," the former Wales captain Young said. "A lot of the things we've been trying to do and failing came together on the day." And the burly prop had a special word for his forwards, who have borne the brunt of the criticism in the past few weeks.
"Our pack doesn't get the credit it deserves," Young added. "But I think that might change after today.
"It's a great boost to beat the team that was on top of the table, but we have to keep our feet on the ground. We're not a finished article yet, and we need to keep improving."
The Ospreys coach, Lyn Jones, admitted his side were beaten up front, and things will not improve with the experienced hooker Barry Williams injured and the young prop Paul James replacing Duncan Jones in the World Cup squad.
"Cardiff were deserved winners - they did a job on us and beat us up front," Lyn Jones said. "I was surprised by how strong their set-piece was and I thought Nick Robinson was outstanding at fly-half today. We had our chances to score but turned them down, but we're keeping our heads up. We're not going to go away from playing entertaining rugby."
Cardiff: Tries Abdul 4, J Robinson 2; Conversions N Robinson 5; Penalty N Robinson. Swansea: Penalties Henson 2.
Cardiff: C Morgan (L Andrews, 67); N Walne, J Robinson, M Allen (L Andrews, 63-65), L Abdul; N Robinson, R Powell (A Moore, 68); J Yapp (K Fourie, 60), G Williams (A Lewis, 73), D Crompton, C Quinnell, A Moore (capt), R Appleyard, N Thomas, D Baugh.
Swansea-Neath: G Henson; E Seveali'l, J Storey, S Gibbs (capt), D Tiueti; S Connor (A Durston, 63), A Williams; P James (C Griffiths, 82), B Williams (C Wells, 6), A Millward, A Newman, L Tait (L Bateman, 82), J Bater, N Bonner-Evans, S Tandy (G Thomas, 62).

Erik Spoelstra dusted off a science textbook to explain why LeBron needs shooters and vice versa.
MIAMI -- It was two years ago when Erik Spoelstra turned a film session into a science lecture.
The head coach wanted to convey to his team the idea that attackers and shooters thrive by playing off one another. As Spoelstra saw it, attackers help shooters by drawing perimeter defenders into the paint and shooters help attackers by stretching the defense thin and opening up driving lanes.
It struck Spoelstra that the Heat's interplay between attackers and shooters represented a "symbiotic relationship," a term pulled straight out of a science textbook glossary to describe when two animals live in a mutually beneficial existence.
And so he decided to use it one day in a film session. In essence, the players were forced to add the word "symbiotic" to their vocabulary list. Naturally, there was some confusion initially.
"The first time I used it," Spoelstra recalled with a grin, "Udonis Haslem raised his hand and said, 'Coach, you have to stop using words like that. I have to write this down in English.'"
Haslem didn't have a pen and paper so he memorized it. Nowadays, you'll often hear the phrase "symbiotic relationship" scattered in Haslem's responses to questions from the media. It's currently a fixture in the Heat's everyday dialogue.
Lesson learned, apparently.
This concept isn't entirely new to basketball, but Spoelstra might be the first draw an analogy that conjures up images of bees gathering pollen on a flower bed. To Spoelstra, the key to the Heat's offense going forward -- and especially in this series against the Knicks -- is attackers and shooters scratching each other's backs.
"We always talk about the symbiotic relationship of the guys helping each other," Spoelstra Monday said after beating the Knicks 100-67 on Saturday. "We have to help our attackers get into the paint, get to the free throw line and get to the rim. At the same time, our attackers have to help our shooters by getting them timely passes when they're open."
In the romp over the Knicks in Game 1, the Heat attempted 21 three-pointers and toed the free throw line 33 times, marking the first time this season that they've matched both those totals in the same game. Obviously, it paid dividends for the Heat.
In shortened time off the bench on Saturday, Mike Miller rifled off nine 3-pointers and Shane Battier fired up six 3-pointers of his own. But to Spoelstra, that is simply not enough. He wants to see more.
"I don't even care about the makes that they have," Spoelstra said. "I just like seeing Mike hunting down for nine 3-point attempts. I really want him to get 10 attempts and I told him before the game that I wanted to see take 10 attempts. He can make zero of them, it doesn't matter. We have absolute confidence that it helps our game."
To some, that might seem like a coach encouraging failure. But Spoelstra sees it differently. Even if the Heat miss a 3-pointer, it helps to decongest the paint for LeBron James and Dwyane Wade to operate later in the game. The threat is just as helpful. The connection isn't obvious to some, but it's absolutely essential in Spoelstra's mind.
"That's the relationship we're talking about everyday," Spoelstra said. "The paint will be open for our attackers to make plays if we get to our spots and trust our shooters to do their job."
Battier enjoys the so-called symbiosis and it's a big reason why he came to Miami as a free agent in the offseason in the first place. He has heard it all during his 11-year playing career, being coached by Hubie Brown, Mike Fratello, Mike Krzyzewski, Sidney Lowe, Rick Adelman, Lionel Hollins, and now Spoelstra. But this season in Miami marked the first time he, has ever heard the term "symbiotic relationship" anywhere near a basketball court.
"It's a first," Battier laughed. "It's not your typical NBA reference, but it's appropriate.
"There is a certain vernacular with this organization," Battier said. "I will give it to Spo. He's pretty creative in trying to hammer home age old lessons so he tries to keep it fresh with different ... [long pause] ... methods."
Spoelstra might seem overly insistent on attackers and shooters playing off each other, but that's because the coach has seen the numbers. According to NBA.com stats tool, the Heat score 108.9 points per 100 possessions with James, Wade and Bosh on the floor. But when Battier joins them, that number rises to 114.9 points. And when Miller plays next to the Big Three? Miami's offensive efficiency skyrockets to a mind-boggling 125.9 points per 100 possessions.
Mutually beneficial, indeed.
The symbiotic relationship remains the foundation of the Heat's offense and Spoelstra hopes to see it emphasized more in Game 2 on Monday. Spoelstra's game plan depends on Battier, Miller, Mario Chalmers and James Jones spacing the floor. If nothing else, the players have bought into it, even thinking of themselves as shrimp-like organisms that help feed whales.
Or at least Battier views himself and his shooting colleagues that way.
"We are the krill of the Heat's ecosystem."

Originally posted on Phillies Nation | Last updated 3/20/13
Chris Duffy performed very well in 2012, Photo- Jay Floyd In recent days a prospect that had considerable buzz about him last season, Chris Duffy, was released by the Phillies. Billed by many coaches within the system as a very good hitter, the 26th round draft choice in 2010 out of the University of Central Florida had an outstanding season in 2012 with the Class A Lakewood BlueClaws. In 60 games in the South Atlantic League the lefty batting slugger sported a .384 batting average with 11 homers and 56 RBI. Additionally, in two different stints with Class A Advanced Clearwater last year, Duffy sported a .236 average with two home runs and 15 RBI. Credited by prospects like highly regarded third baseman Maikel Franco with being an inspiration, the 25-year-old Duffy built a reputation of being a leader among toward players. Now, faced with free agency, the well-mannered and steadily lighthearted spoke this week about the circumstances surrounding his release, - Okay, so clearly there was some big news that surprised some people on Sunday morning, when the Phillies released you. After a year in which you posted absolutely great numbers in Lakewood and really bounced back during your second trip to Clearwater, this wasn't something that was expected by fans. Did this catch you completely off guard? Any other thoughts on this, as you reflect back on it? Yes, it absolutely did catch me off guard. Usually, players don't get released after a good season, so I figured I was clear of all that. Especially since I had been hitting well in spring training and came in shape. But everything happens for a reason and even if I don't understand yet I will. I just view it as something I have to go through to achieve my dream. I'm a firm believer that I am limitless and can accomplish anything I want as long as I go get it. This definitely hurt, but it's not going to stop me! - How was the news brought to you? Who spoke with you and what reason was given? Actually, I thought I was clear because I walked past the coaches at the entrance that usually pull people aside as they come in the locker room. I walked right by them and they said hello to me. (Laughter) Then I went to my locker and my name plate was up still and everything was normal, so I had none of the symptoms of a player getting released. I changed in my Phillies gear from my street clothes and sat down to eat my breakfast with my headphones on and music jamming and as I was about to dig into my eggs and grits with cheese. Then I get a tap on the shoulder saying (Phillies director of player development) Joe Jordan wants to see me. So, I went upstairs to his office and Gauntlett (Eldemire) was waiting outside his office and he looks at me like, "This can't be right." (Laughter) I was like, "Okay, you're one of the fastest players around and I can hit the ball pretty dang far so, what the (hell…)? Anyways, Joe Jordan took me in there after Gauntlett and told me that the organization loves what I've done and he admires me as a person and all but they made some last minute trades at first base and they feel it would be best for my career if another team picks me up, which actually makes sense if you look at the big picture. - Right, so you stated there that first base is a crowded position in the minors for the Phillies. Thoughts on that? That's the reason I got released, 'cause it's clogged and there is no DH and they haven't tried me in the outfield or third. Not a bad thing for me actually. - I heard from a Phillies writer that's down there and his thought was that you showed up to spring training less fit than you had been last season. Is that the case and, if it is, somewhat, do you think that could speak volumes toward a team's decision to part ways with a guy? My answer to this right here is I squat the weight of a baby elephant. (Laughs) I passed all my times the Phillies had and I'll be happy to show your buddy my six pack I have brewing after training this whole off season. (Laughs). Tell him to come to the beach and watch me flex. (Laughs) - If you knew over the off-season what you know now, is there anything you would have done differently in the months or weeks leading up to the release? Nothing different! I believe this happened for a reason. - I see you talking about "Above .500″ on Twitter. What can you tell me about that and how that's going to help you going forward? Above .500 is an upcoming organization that myself and some friends started to encourage people, especially young ones, to go after their dreams in life and don't let anything stop them. We do this using motivational speaking and mentorship. We throw events we call "Dream Rallies" at middle schools and high schools, talking to the young ones about the pursuit of their dreams. During the pursuits there will be failure, obstacles, and challenges. If you don't give up, stay positive and believe we can accomplish anything we set our minds to…(what is happening to me) is a prime example of it. Because my release from the Phillies doesn't mean it's over but it's just a hurdle I have to jump over to get to my dream. The name originated from the Giants who won the Super Bowl one game Above .500 winning percentage. So, no matter how many losses in life you encounter or what your situation is today you can still be a champion tomorrow. You can learn more about our non-profit organization at www.above500.org

Skepticism: Wherefore Art Thou?
A healthy dose of skepticism can be a valuable tool in genealogy. It's important to examine each record critically. It's a lesson I've just had cause to remember, again.
A healthy dose of skepticism can be a valuable tool in genealogy. It's important to examine each record critically. It's a lesson I've just had cause to remember, again.
Ruth O. "Kate" Hocker passed away Friday morning, the 12th of February, at her home in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Born on 22 August 1920 in Lescontes Mills, she was the daughter of Clyde L. Hoover and Nora M. Houdeshell. In 1941 she married William H. Hocker in Harrisburg, who predeceased her. She is survived by her children, grand children and two great grandchildren.
This week's 52 ancestors post is about my 3x great grandfather, Jacob Walker (1833-1915) of Centre County, Pennsylvania.
When I went to Pennsylvania several weeks ago for my great-aunt, Betty Jean (Hocker) Wingeard's memorial service, I had the good fortune to find my Grandmother on a talkative day. So, I took advantage of her good mood, asking questions and prompting her reminiscences of her childhood.
My 3x great grandmother Susan L. (Mulhollan) Force was the daughter of John and Emily (Boileau) Mulholland. She was allegedly the granddaughter of Rudolph and Mary (Weirham) Mulhollan, who left Pennsylvania in 1832 and settled in Ohio. This post shows what I found when I went looking for them.
I've heard family stories about an ancestor who fought on both sides during the Civil War, but I didn't really believe it. Two brothers fighting on opposite sides? Yeah, okay. But one man fighting for both sides over the course of the war? Seemed a little far-fetched. And yet, I think that's exactly what my great great grandfather James Benjamin Houdeshell did.
For some reason, I've been thinking about my great grandmother Nora (Houdeshell) Hoover a lot recently. I never had a chance to meet her, but from the few stories I've heard, I think I would have loved her. So, I thought I'd start my 52 Ancestors series writing about her.
It's Surname Saturday. This week I'm remembering my great great grandfather George W. Houdeshell of Centre and Clearfield counties.
It's Surname Saturday. This week I'm remembering my great great grandfather Samuel Thomas Hoover of Centre County, Pennsylvania.
This photo was among the photos from the Hoover family photos from Pine Glen, Burnside Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania. When I asked my grandmother, she said she thought it was of the Askey kids. Presumably she was talking about her great aunt and uncle, Robert Alexander and Wilhelmina (Force) Askey, who lived just down the […]

The idea for the Function, Form, and Fantasy: Ceramics from the Dr. Robert and Deanna Harris Burger exhibition originated with the Burgers' expressed desire to share their collection, based in their home in Florida, with the people of Flint, Michigan. The exhibition only shows a fraction of the more than 400 works that the Burgers have collected over the past 30 years. These works were selected to represent the highlights of the Burger collection, illustrating its scope, diversity, and defining characteristics. Many works in this exhibition also bear the credit line "Gift of…" because the Burgers have given these works to the Flint Institute of Arts, demonstrating their commitment to share their collection.
With the same sense of responsibility that museums have to the public to care for the objects entrusted to them, Dr. Robert (Bob) and Deanna (Debbie) Harris Burger consider themselves caretakers, instead of simply owners, of the artworks they have collected. They declare that it is their intention to share these works with others now and in the future, rather than keeping the art all to themselves. It is this generous impulse that brings about this exhibition of objects selected from their exemplary collection.
The Burgers' ties to Flint begin with Debbie, as she grew up here. She describes her first encounter with art taking place in the studios of the FIA Art School (at its previous location on West First Street) when she took a ceramics class at age seven or eight. This childhood experience would prove influential, not only in Debbie's subsequent passion for art, but also her remembrance of the FIA when she and her husband began to donate works of art. Since 2005, the Burgers have donated nearly 250 artworks to the FIA, including more than 180 ceramic works and 40 works on paper. Most recently, they gave the FIA 50 works, mostly ceramics.
