EDISON – When the proverbial money pie depicting the distribution of income in New Jersey during the past decade finally was divided, the rich gained by far the biggest helping, while most others in the state wound up with slim pickings – if even that.
That's essentially the finding of a new study of income inequality in the Garden State which shows that money went to the moneyed in big chunks, making the gap between the rich and virtually all others wider than at any time since perhaps the Great Depression of the 1920s. The divide is even more pronounced when wealth – property and other holdings – becomes the focus.
As in the nation and other countries, the rich in New Jersey have been getting richer and the poor poorer. Those in-between hardly budged during the first decade of the 21st century.
The new study, conducted by the Poverty Research Institute of Legal Services of New Jersey and entitled "Income Inequality in New Jersey: The Growing Divide and Its Consequences," found the distribution of income between 2000 and the end of 2009 was heavily one-sided, with more than three quarters of the income gains going to the well-to-do in just 20 percent of the state's households. That left little for everyone else, and some backtracked.
Significantly, more than a quarter of the gains went to just the top or richest one percent of the populace – an estimated 75,000 people living in households with incomes of at least $570,000. On the other end, those in the 40 percent of the state's households with incomes under $34,300 – roughly 3 million people – actually saw their incomes take a hit during the decade.
Today's report represents the first-ever study focusing on the depth and repercussions of the ever-widening divide between the haves and have-nots in New Jersey and suggests that, as new Census and other figures emerge, the gulf will be even wider. The first indication of this is that, despite a brief dip in the income inequality barometer during the Great Recession from December 2007 to June 2009, the gap between the haves and have-nots once again widened in 2010. And there already are forecasts by economic experts that, when the Census figures for 2011 are released in a few months, poverty will have increased in the nation to the highest level in some 50 years.
Citing the inherent importance of income inequality and the spinoff it can have on the impoverished, Legal Services president Melville D. Miller, Jr., announced that the non-profit organization will do annual studies of the issue and release such "inequality audits" to the public.
Said Miller, "Especially in a very high-cost state like New Jersey, income inequality and the increase of income and wealth in the highest fifth of households can be a major factor in driving the cost of living still higher, putting essentials further beyond the reach of those with lower incomes."
Past Legal Services reports have noted that there are more than two million New Jerseyans living at or just beyond the federal poverty level.
The new Poverty Research Institute report cites research and other studies highlighting the long-range adverse impacts of income and wealth inequality, including people and often their children being locked into lives of perpetual poverty and hard times. That is especially so for certain groups, especially for Blacks, Hispanics, people with lower levels of education, and female-headed households, notes Poverty Research Institute director Allan Lichtenstein, the study's primary author.
The study focuses on that projected vicious cycle, noting the extent to which such groups with already higher and expanding poverty increasingly account for those in the lowest income levels, and that "their standards of living may be headed for further decline, consistent with decreased opportunities for moving up and escaping the ranks of the impoverished."
A recommendation of the study is that state government officials, before making policy decisions, first conduct an "income inequality impact review" to weigh the consequences of any change or new initiative.
The full study can be viewed at http://www.lsnj.org/PDFs/Income_Inequality_in_NJ_2012.pdf.
Replete with various graphs, the report divides the state into five income groups or quintiles of 20 percent.
In focusing not only on actual income increases or decreases in the last decade, it also takes a hard look at how the various income groups lined up in comparison to one another – the comparative share of income.
It states, "The entire increase in income inequality between 2000 and 2009 has come from an increase in the share of income held by households in the top quintile, while the income shares for the bottom four quintiles declined. More specifically, when the top quintile is broken down into smaller components, it is, in fact, the top one percent of households that has reaped the bulk of the increase in income share."
Here are some of the highlights of the study:
- The top quintile (households with incomes of at least $132,000) pulled in 77 percent of all the additional income gained in New Jersey during the decade, while the income share of the bottom quintile (under $27,300) and the next to bottom quintile ($27,300 to under $53,230) actually lost ground. The third quintile ($53,230 to under $85,500) had an 11 percent share of the income gain during the 10-year period, and the fourth quintile ($85,500 to under $132,000) a 14 percent share.
- Of the 77 percent gain for the top quintile, 27 percent – or more than a fourth – went to the top one percent in that grouping, 17 percent to the next four percent, 13 percent to the next five percent and 21 percent to the next ten percent.
- As income inequality increased, its impact was disproportionately higher for female-headed households, Blacks, Hispanics and people with high school diplomas or lower levels of education.
- During the decade, households headed by females emerged as the largest grouping within the bottom quintile. On the other hand, nearly 90 percent of those in the top quintile lived in married couple households.
- Although the numbers of Blacks and Hispanics in the state's population increased, there were even greater proportionate increases in the percentage of Blacks and Hispanics in the bottom or poorest quintile.
- Individuals with education levels no higher than a high school diploma or GED made up 65.5 percent of the poorest or bottom quintile. At the same time, those with associate's, bachelor's, graduate or professional degrees accounted for 63 percent of the top quintile.

Health Advice about Calabash Chalk Products
The Foods Standards Agency (FSA) has issued advice that calabash chalk and other related products should NOT be eaten, especially by pregnant and breastfeeding mothers as these products are harmful to foetal and maternal health. Calabash chalk is a traditional supplement taken by some Asian and African women as a remedy for morning sickness or as a nutritional supplement in pregnancy. It has been found to contain high levels of lead and arsenic, both which are toxic to the foetus and mother.
You can download an alert document from Public Health England and a patient information leaflet below which provide more details. The patient information leaflet can be used with target groups as identified.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Sophomore guard Taylor Murray scored 16 points and grabbed seven rebounds as the Kentucky women's basketball team beat Middle Tennessee 61-48 on Friday night in non-conference action at Memorial Coliseum.
Senior Evelyn Akhator notched her sixth double-double of the season and the 19th of her career, scoring 13 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in the contest. Kentucky's leading scorer on the season, senior Makayla Epps, was saddled with foul trouble for most of the first half, but was able to score 13 points in the contest, with 11 of those coming after halftime.
Kentucky (7-2) dominated the rebounding battle, grabbing 44 compared to Middle Tennessee's 22. The Wildcats had 18 offensive rebounds and were able to turn those into 11 points. Kentucky also dominated inside, scoring 34 points in the paint to 20 for Middle Tennessee.
Kentucky scored the first four points of the game on a layup by Epps and a jumper by Murray. But Middle Tennessee answered with an 8-1 run to lead 8-5. The Blue Raiders would maintain a similar lead through most of the first period, leading 18-15 at the end of the frame. Murray had eight of Kentucky's 15 points in the quarter, as the Wildcats shot 50 percent (six of 12) from the field. However, Kentucky turned the ball over seven times in the game's first 10 minutes, leading to eight Middle Tennessee points.
Middle Tennessee (2-4) started the second quarter on a 5-1 run to extend its lead to 23-16. But Kentucky had a big answer, scoring 11 in a row to take a 27-23 advantage. Middle Tennessee rallied to tie the game at 31-31 before Kentucky got baskets from Jaida Roper and Maci Morris to close the half leading 35-31. Akhator had seven points in the quarter for Kentucky and Roper had five. Roper finished the game with a career-high seven points.
Kentucky played almost the entire second quarter without its leading scorer, as Epps picked up her second foul early in the period and went to the bench, having scored just two points in the first half.
The third quarter started with a Murray jumper and an Epps layup and free throw, extending Kentucky's lead to 40-31. Kentucky would extend its lead with a 7-2 run at the end of the period, as the Wildcats took a 51-41 lead into the final frame. Epps had five points in the quarter, Murray had four and Akhator had three points and six rebounds during the period.
Both teams came out cold in the fourth quarter, with Kentucky making just one of its first seven shots from the floor while Middle Tennessee missed its first six attempts in the frame. In fact, over the first 7:13 of the final period, Middle Tennessee had scored just three points, all on free throws, and Kentucky's four points came on layups by Epps and Alyssa Rice. Middle Tennessee would go more than eight minutes without a field goal in the fourth quarter. The Blue Raiders finished the period making just one of 11 shots (9.1 percent) from the floor.
Kentucky's second-half defense was stellar, as the Wildcats held Middle Tennessee to five of 23 field goals in the half, and no three-pointers, after the Blue Raiders hit six threes in the first 20 minutes.
Kentucky did not hit a three-pointer in a game for the first time since November 27, 2014 when the Wildcats lost to Illinois in the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands.
Kentucky returns to action on Sunday, facing Arizona State at Rupp Arena. Tipoff is set for 1 p.m. ET and the game can be seen on the SEC Network.

Landscape architecture students in the 2010 Community Design Studio led by Professor Mary Beth McCubbin partner with the Poe Mill community to reinvigorate their neighborhood. Like many communities, the Poe Mill village is struggling in the aftermath of loosing its economic engine. What had once been 11 acres of energy at the heart of the neighborhood is now piles of rubble covered with weeds and garbage—a blight that makes it difficult to maintain pride in one's community but also creates issues related to safety and security. However, the village has many of the components that make for great places to live. It has a network of streets and sidewalks that promote walking and neighborly interaction. It is close to downtown Greenville, has access to public transportation, has charming houses, and is only a short hop to the Swamp Rabbit Trail.
However, the community deals with issues: a lack of access to open space, abandoned and deteriorating structures, crime, and lack of easy access to daily services like grocery stores. Students in the Community Design Studio were challenged to explore these issues and look for opportunities to revitalize this once proud neighborhood. Working with the Greenville Redevelopment Authority and the Poe Mill Neighborhood Association, students conducted a door-to-door survey, held a series of pubic meetings and work sessions to identify a vision for a park that would become the new heartbeat of the community. Each student proposed a design that embodied the community's priorities—places for active play or a quiet walk in the woods, places for family picnics or community festivals, places to celebrate the rich history of the textile industry. With feedback from the community, graduate students in the a.LINE.ments Studio created a design proposal that will be used as inspiration for the new park. Check out the final report for Poe Mill below!

Jacobs' Biondo comes up big, finishes as runner-up
Jacobs' Brian Biondo made his first appearance in the boys bowling state tournament one to remember.
The junior became the first boy from his high school to finish as a state runner-up.
He tried catching Joshaun Glover of Lincoln-Way East on the final day of competition at St. Clair Lanes in O'Fallon on Saturday, but Glover's 12-game total of 2,957, which included a 300 game and 247 average, was enough to capture the championship.
"He bowled great all weekend," Biondo said. "No one was going to stop him. He let no one catch up to him. At least I can say we're good friends."
Biondo started the day in sixth place. He ended up 89 pins back of Glover with 2,878.
"I tried to make up ground, but when he rolled a 300 game, I knew he would be tough to catch," Biondo said of Glover.
Biondo opened the day with scores of 225, 253 and 278 for a 756 series. He followed up by rolling a 211, 278 and 218 for a 707 series.
"This gives me so much confidence," said Biondo, who was the only junior in the top eight. The top seven were seniors. "I know I can come back and take my chances next year."
Biondo threw a thanks out to his parents, Vince and Joyce, who have bowled professionally and with Team USA. He said they taught him the mental part of the game.
Jack Baumruk of Libertyville finished 45th, rolling a 554 series in the morning and 591 in the afternoon. Baumruk, whose high game was a 236, advanced to the second day after needing a tiebreaker in the sectional to reach state.
Vernon Hills' Chris Winter placed 46th with 2,501. He tossed a 571 in the morning session and followed up with a 600 that included a high game of 234.
"It was my goal to make the second day," said Winter, a sophomore. "Next year I want to get a lot higher. I thought on the first day (Friday), I had a chance to prove something to myself."
Justin Becker of Vernon Hills finished 55th with 2,473. He rolled a 572 and 571 with a high game of 231.
Lake Park ended up in 19th place Friday, but had two of its bowlers reach the second day.
Joe Kauther rolled to a 32nd-place finish with 2,578. He shot a 681 series in the morning and 606 in the afternoon. He threw a high game of 279 in the morning set.
Lake Park's Andrew Tau finished 58th (2,454). He had a 509 for the first three games, before bouncing back with a 609. He rolled high games of 237 and 230.
Geneva's Jason Soto wound up 63rd (2,388). He rolled a 618 in the morning and followed it up with a 492 series.
Rockford Guilford won the team title with 13,107 pins. Andrew (13,002) and host O'Fallon (12,970) finished second and third.

NEW YORK - A trio of high-scoring forwards are this year's nominees for the NHL's most valuable player honours.
Washington Capitals sniper Alex Ovechkin, Vancouver Canucks playmaker Henrik Sedin and Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby will battle it out for the Hart Trophy after finishing in the top three in scoring this past season.
Ovechkin, the defending champion, tied Crosby for second in league scoring with 109 points (50 goals, 59 assists) and was a plus-45 despite missing 10 games. He guided the Capitals (54-15-13) to the best record in the league, but was bumped from the playoffs following Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens in Game 7 of their Eastern Conference first-round series.
Sedin earned a Hart nomination after capturing his first Art Ross Trophy as NHL scoring champion, finishing with 112 points (29 goals, 83 assists). He's the first player in Canucks history to win the scoring title, and led Vancouver (49-28-5) to its second straight Northwest Division title.
Crosby, the 2007 winner, established a career high with 51 goals, tying him with Steven Stamkos for the league lead. He added 58 assists while guiding Pittsburgh (47-27-8) to the Atlantic Division crown.
The winner will be announced June 23 at the NHL awards night in Las Vegas.
Pens' Crosby, Caps' Ovechkin, Canucks' Sedin chosen as Hart Trophy nominees

easyJet Elearning Academy
Online Learning Academy
Creating a learning culture across seven countries with Totara LMS, the easyJet way.
The challenge
easyJet is the UK's largest airline. With over 8,000 employees across six countries. easyJet was looking to put a Learning Management System in place to stimulate and enable the learning culture across the business.
The solution needed to be cost effective and strongly reflect the easyJet culture and brand.
The aims of the project were to:
- Drive an appropriate learning culture for easyJet
- Put learning into the context of performance management, talent and development
- Help employees and their managers understand the competencies that easyJet are looking for them to develop
- Support individuals owning their own learning and managers supporting their development
- Drive the 70/20/10 learning model being used
- Utilise new technologies to drive social learning
- Support the learning of three populations across three countries - pilots, cabin crew and management and administration teams
- Take a phased approach – scale and add features over time
The solution: The online learning academy
After a competitive process, easyJet chose to partner with City & Guilds Kineo and Totara LMS to meet their objectives.
Out of the box, meeting needs
Totara LMS has a rich configurable feature set, which meant that all of easyJet's requirements were met without any need for customisation. Key features of the phase one implementation included:
A fully branded experience
The site's theme reflecting the easyJet spirit throughout, and a brand of its own: The Online Learning Academy.
Enabling the learning culture: flexible and blended resources
easyJet believes in 70/20/10, encouraging learners to be self-directed, seek out the resources relevant to them, and manage their own learning.
So the LMS couldn't be a locked down course directory. Our design approach means the Online Learning Academy is focused on resources, providing learners with access to a wide range of learning opportunities including:
- Face-to-face courses – management and adminstration is handled in Totara LMS
- Pocketbooks
- Videos
- Top tips
- Elearning
- Articulate
- Blogs
- Quizzes
Many of the resources are structured into blended courses and programmes. Totara LMS gives easyJet the flexibilty to create a tailored programme for a specific audience through simple course creation.
Providing quality management information
Totara's reporting ensures easyJet have a complete picture of usage, progress and achievement across their business – providing key data to underpin the investment in their learning strategy.
Synchronisation with their HR system using Totara sync enables a more effective and efficient approach to managing learners within the system whilst automating the delivery of learning to key audiences.
The results
The Online Learning Academy met its timeline and cost objectives and was delivered to the management and administration (M&A) audience, with very positive feedback and uptake; over 300 of easyJet's M&A people (at least a third of the population) are logging in and carrying out development activity on the site. People have said that they love the look and feel of the site and the ease of being able to select the variety of development most appropriate to how they learn best.
Kineo and easyJet are partnering on the next phase of the project which includes easyJet's pilot audience.

Brisbane have finally jump-started their premiership aspirations - leaving St George Illawarra's on life support - after claiming a sorely needed 12-8 NRL win in Wollongong.
The Broncos strolled to a 12-2 lead on Thursday night before Dragons pivot Gareth Widdop took a Benji Marshall bomb in the 76th minute, however it wasn't enough to stop the home side falling to a fifth consecutive defeat.
In front of a crowd of just 5662 in the wet, Broncos stars Sam Thaiday and Matt Gillett returned from suspension and injury respectively to help the side get back on the winner's list.
More importantly, Brisbane move to within two points of a crucial second chance in the finals.
Thaiday scored the only try of the opening hour, while Gillett, in his first game since picking up a shoulder injury in State of Origin III, tallied a quality 81 metres and 43 tackles in a powerhouse outing.
The Dragons remain just two points outside the top eight but face an uphill battle to make the finals.
Marshall's hopes of earning a new contract also nosedived along with the Dragons' season after the veteran committed five of his side's nine errors in a disappointing performance.
The 31-year-old twice fumbled balls in attacking opportunities, bombed one kick out on the full and also crucially was caught on the last tackle with the Dragons in search of the game-winner late in the match.
In torrid conditions in a dull first half, both sides opened conservatively, tucking the ball under their arms and completing at a rate of more than 90 per cent in the dreadful conditions.
After trading penalty goals, Thaiday's 23rd-minute chasedown of an Anthony Milford grubber gave the visitors an 8-2 lead by halftime.
Dragons winger Kurt Mann almost scored a long-range try but fumbled a pick-up with the tryline begging in the 52nd minute, before opposite flyer Lachlan Maranta went over eight minutes later.

Stay safe in a firearms or weapons attack
Do you know what you would do if you came under fire or heard gunshots at work or in a public place?
An information film advising on what to do to keep safe in the event of a firearms or weapons attack has been released by the National Police Chiefs' Council.
The four minute film, Stay Safe: Firearms and Weapons Attack sets out three key steps for keeping safe. There is also an information leaflet (PDF).
The film and leaflet advise that if you are caught up in an incident to 'run, hide and tell' - guidance which can be applied to many places and situations.
Recent events around the world remind us all of the threat we face, which in the UK is considered as 'Severe', meaning an attack is highly likely. Police and security agencies are working tirelessly to protect the public across the UK. Bradford isn't any more at risk than other cities but, like all other UK cities, local partners are taking sensible planning precautions. It is also important that communities remain vigilant and aware of how to protect themselves if the need arises.

Apr 17, '12kmurt, suffolk doesn't have my personal email, i just use theirs for everything lol. so it was in my suffolk email. It's possible it just went out to all suffolk students, because I am a current student, but I was just wondering. And Alev, I have a Bachelor's Degree and have taken far more than just nursing pre-reqs at Suffolk (including Genetics and Calculus) so it would be hard to estimate my gpa from all the classes I've taken at the different schools, but at just suffolk, my gpa is a 3.8.
Apr 17, '12Congrats on getting accepted spicegrl Dollface, thanks for the heads up! I haven't checked my sccc e-mail in ages, but i just checked now and I have the same e-mail.

Apr 17, '12Dollface,

Suffolk has a good nursing program, I hear good comments, too. I applied to Suffolk, Stony Brook and NYU. But I haven`t heard anything from any of them. It is so stressful
Apr 17, '12Izziesmomma,
I got a 141 composite, not much higher than what you got! I had no idea about checking Oasis until the last few weeks! Haha, so I started checking and it said Waitlisted and then on Friday I got all sorts of new tabs and stuff and it said accepted, but I didn't know if I should go by that, so I waited and today I got the packet in the mail with my letter. I thought they were waiting til the last group took the PAX which was this past weekend, so I was very surprised to see it had changed on Friday! I was told they start at the top score and work their way down, so a 132 is a great score. I hope everyone hears back soon, waiting SUCKS haha
Apr 17, '12Great job on the pax and congrats on getting accepted, and yes I totally agree waiting sucks!!

'New wave of Israeli-Palestinian tension might develop into new intifada'
Tension between the Israelis and Palestinians has been growing in recent weeks. Tonight a mosque has been set on fire on the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Locals blame extremist Israeli settlers, adding that the same kind of accident happened two years ago in the same area.
The arson at the mosque was preceded by the stabbing of an Israeli woman and an IDF soldier on November 10, and the killing of a Palestinian man by the Israeli soldiers the day after. The Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has promised to demolish the houses of the Palestinians who allegedly carried out the deadly attacks.
Dr. Curtis Doebbler, peace activist, international human rights lawyer on Israeli- Palestinian conflict: "There's violence on both sides, but I would suggest particularly the Israeli side, is increasing. There have been numerous attacks on particularly religious sites. Almost 3 dozen of them this year, and that is quite an intensive increase over the three we had in 2008 and ten we had in 2009. We had almost a hundred in the last three years, and this certainly enflames tempers in that part of the world."
A previous wave of escalation took place on October 30 when Israel closed the Al-Aqsa Mosque without any reason, which was called by the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas a "declaration of war."
Abbas has also warned Israel to stay away from Al-Aqsa and has accused it of "leading the region and the world to a destructive religious war."
READ MORE:Abbas warns Israel of religious war amid mosque row
Dr. Ghassan Khatib from Birzeit University in Palestine told RT that the policy pursued by Israeli officials is "the wrong recipe," which "has been tried all the time by the Israeli occupation forces but it only, fueled further the already tense situation and relations between the Palestinian people and their occupiers."
"Actually this wave of violence and protests came in particular as a response to Israeli attempts to allow Jewish extremists and settlers to enter the Palestinian Al Haram Sharif mosque and Israeli attempts to change the status quo in some of the Islamic holy places in East Jerusalem," Khatib explains.
He claims the tension could be calmed down if Israel abandons its rhetoric of illegal changes and settlement expansion. At the same time he warns that "reacting to these illegitimate ways of violence by violence is a wrong approach," and any hasty actions or reactions could lead to a new intifada.
"If it is handled wisely by the Israeli occupation authorities, it might calm down. Number one, we need Israel to stop the attempts of the Jewish extremists to change the status quo in the Islamic holy places. Number two, Israel should refrain from violent reactions that can bring down the growing tension. But if Israel insists on these attempts to change the status quo in holy places and continue to react violently, continue to allow extreme Jewish settlers to exert violence against Palestinian villagers. Then it might develop into another intifada," Ghassan Khatib told RT.
READ MORE:Israeli settlers 'set fire' to West Bank mosque
Palestinian politician and activist Mustafa al-Barghouti describes the current situation as apartheid of the Palestinians.
"More and more Palestinians see that there is a system of apartheid and discrimination that is affecting them," he said.
Al-Barghouti argues that closing of Al-Aqsa and the Temple Mount has nothing to do with the security problem as the Palestinians turned out to be the only ones who are prohibited from entering the holy site.
"I'm sure Israel cares about the security of Jewish people more than they do about Palestinians. Yet they are not preventing any Jewish people from going to the Temple Mount, on the contrary, they facilitate their access, while they are restricting Palestinians from entering their own mosque [Al-Aqsa] and allowing Israeli illegal and extreme elements to enter the mosque under the protection of the Israeli army and provoke the Palestinians there. In reality we are talking about double standard, a discriminatory system," he told RT.
The underlying reason for the violence, according to Mustafa al-Barghouti, is the occupation of Palestine by Israel. He argues that the situation won't change for the better till the occupation is over, which is to happen one day.
"The problem and core of these violent actions on any side is the fact that Palestine is under Israeli occupation. Everybody says the occupation has to end, everybody says that Israel is conducting illegal settlements there, yet Israel is not changing its policy. As long as there is an occupation, there will be a cause of tension and a cause of problems in the region," Mustafa al-Barghouti told RT.
Ghassan Khatib shares the same point of view, adding that resolution of the conflict requires interference from outside.
"Most probably we will see further actions and reactions that will cause more and more deterioration. The only way out is interference from outside. If the big friend of Israel, the US, interferes and convinces Israel, and they can if they want, then probably we'll see other results," he said.

Ronnie O'Sullivan has more than ridden his luck on the way to the Northern Ireland Trophy final but his main weapon against Dave Harold in Belfast may well prove to be his patience.
This is, to put it mildly, a clash of styles.
O'Sullivan is the game's most fluent player. Harold, with his deliberate cue action, is one of the least fluent.
However, the Stoke potter has been extremely effective all week and may well frustrate Ronnie by leaving him cold in his chair for long periods.
This final is best of 17 frames. That is more than enough time for O'Sullivan to lose his concentration.
He has beaten Harold ten times in ten previous meetings and is favourite to do so again.
But today's result may well depend on how he copes not when at the table but while watching on.

If you just so happen to be a Redditor, or user of social media in general, then you may have heard of an app known as BaconReader. It is a Reddit client that has been in the works for almost a year now. It has gone through multiple stages of alphas and betas, and today it finally makes its official debut in the Android Market.
Nearly one year ago, when BaconReader was first introduced, the Reddit client options on Android were incredibly slim. Since that time more developers have opened shop and released apps into the Market, but none of them are quite as nice as BaconReader has turned out to be. The app is plenty functional, with features like full profile support, color coded comments, full featured inbox, one-tap access to your favorite subreddits, Rageface and look of disapproval support. But that's not where BaconReader excels. BaconReader blows the competition out of the water when it comes to design.
BaconReader is not only the best looking Reddit client available on the Market, it's one of the best looking apps period. A lot of time was put into the design and user interface of BaconReader, and it really shows.
Also announced along with the release of BaconReader is a glimpse into the app's future. BaconReader has been acquired by OneLouder Apps, the developer behind FriendCaster and TweetCaster. Chris Arvin, the original developer of BaconReader, has said that there will now be an entire team of devs working on bug fixes, but he will continue to stay with the project and still lead design.
You can try BaconReader for free by using the Android Market download widget below. If you'd like to get rid of the ads in the app, you can do so for $1.99 as an in-app purchase. If you happen to give it a shot, let us know how you like it.

I know of a few students who have studied online and they enjoyed it. One studied with an online teacher in Canada and another with one in New York City. Having classes online gives students with few chances to speak English, a chance to try out the English they know, and learn more in a convenient and enjoyable way.
Learning English Online is very cheap for students in Japan, a place where English lessons can be very expensive.
Have you taught online. Or would you like to?
But how do you do that?
How English Teachers can Harness Networking Technology
James Shea has done much academic work about how English teachers can harness networking technology to cease reinventing the wheel, and build a solid supportive community. He offers specialist advice at various junctures at his website. He is a trainer at a university in the UK, so Shea knows what he is
talking about.
Shea relates:
"Learning English as a Second Language is a subject close to my heart. As a former Head of English in a secondary school, I saw a large influx of ESL students and went out of my way to develop my academic understanding of this area. I now know how to ensure someone develops their English quickly and confidently."
Some teachers, teach from the comfort of their home in the UK to students all over Asia.

Are you passionate about good food and healthy living? Then it's time to learn more about the work of nutritionists. These professionals are on the front lines of the fight against obesity and chronic disease. They work with clients, either individually or in groups, to promote smart food choices, and you will often find them performing the following duties:
Assessing the diet and health needs of a client or patient.
Educating clients on healthy eating habits and other nutrition issues.
Developing meal plans that meet an individual's nutrition goals.
Documenting patient progress to goals.
Following the latest research in the field of nutrition.
Some nutritionists may be part of a larger medical team working with a particular patient. Others may be self-employed and provide consultation services to individuals who are seeking to improve their overall health. Still others may be part of public health campaigns to promote good nutrition and encourage communities to adopt healthier habits.
Intrigued? Read on to find out more detail, and check out this snapshot of nutritionist career info as compared to related careers:
|Total Employment
|Annual Mean Wage
|Projected Job Growth Rate
|Athletic Trainers
|Dietitians and Nutritionists
|Occupational Therapists
|Registered Nurses
How Much do Nutritionists Make?
The BLS reports that the mean annual nutritionist salary in 2014 was $57,440 nationwide. The top 10 percent of workers in the field earned $79,840 or more, and the bottom 10 percent of earners took home up to $35,040 on average.
As with any career, nutritionist salary expectations vary from employer to employer. Here's a list of the top-paying industries in the U.S. for nutritionists in 2014, according to the BLS:
- Educational support services: $82,280
- Federal executive branch: $69,450
- Home health care services: $66,650
- Insurance carriers: $65,680
- Outpatient care centers: $61,850
The area of the country where you find employment can also have a powerful effect on salary potential. These five states had the highest annual average salaries for nutritionists in the U.S. in 2014, according to the BLS:
- California: $72,010
- Maryland: $66,340
- Nevada: $65,600
- Connecticut: $64,970
- New Jersey: $64,910
However, an above-average salary may not feel like much if the cost of living in a particular area is just as high. Working in a city with a relatively low cost of living can help increase the value of every dollar of your salary. Here are a few 2014 nutritionist salary averages for metro areas whose states fared well on the Cost of Living Index (COLI) released by the Center for Community and Economic Research for the first quarter of 2015:
- Biloxi, Mississippi: $61,450 mean annual salary; state ranked 1st in affordability
- Lansing, Michigan: $61,570 mean annual salary; state ranked 8th in affordability
- Clarke County, Georgia: $62,050 mean annual salary; state ranked 10th in affordability
Occupational Requirements and Job Types
All nutritionists and dietitians need at least a bachelor's degree in dietetics, foods and nutrition, or food service systems management. Additionally, some states require aspiring nutritionists and dietitians to pass a licensing exam before they can legally practice.
In states where licensure is not required, it is still recommended, as many employers prefer hiring nutritionists with national credentials. For more information on the topic, check out this infographic on how to become a nutritionist or contact schools in your area to find out about their programs and requirements.
Nutrition professionals can be classified into several different job types. Here are some of the most common categories for those working in the field.
- Clinical dietitians gather information on patients' dietary restrictions to plan meal programs at long-term care facilities such as hospitals and nursing homes.
- Community nutritionists counsel individuals or groups about ways to make healthy food choices when grocery shopping and dining out.
- Management dietitians oversee menus and preparation standards in cafeterias, prisons, schools and other institutions with high-volume food production.
- Nutritional consultants work on contract or in private practice to target a patient's specific wellness goals, such as weight loss or lowering cholesterol.
The difference between a nutritionist and a dietitian is based on their licensing — specifically, a nationally recognized credential as a registered dietitian — but both generally start with a degree in nutrition, and the general focus of the two jobs can be quite similar.
Faster-than-average employment growth is expected for nutritionists and dietitians between 2012 and 2022, thanks in part to increases in health awareness and expansions of public health insurance coverage to include nutritional counseling for obese and diabetic patients.
A 21 percent increase in nutritionist jobs in the U.S. is expected to occur between 2012 and 2022 (nearly double the national average of 11 percent for all occupations), which should lead to more than 14,000 new positions for dietetic support personnel. These jobs may be in residential care facilities, schools, prisons, community health programs, home health care agencies, and food service management, among other areas.
Several areas have growth projections above the national average, particularly in the Western U.S. According to labor data collected by Projections Central, these are the places with the highest projected job growth for dietitians and nutritionists between 2012 and 2022.
- Texas: 30.1 percent projected growth
- Utah: 29.9 percent projected growth
- Colorado: 28.2 percent projected growth
- Kentucky: 27.6 percent projected growth
- Washington, D.C.: 25.8 percent projected growth
The BLS reports that as of 2013, New York City had the greatest overall number of nutritionist jobs in the U.S., followed closely by Los Angeles and Chicago. Although these areas might not have the highest growth potential in terms of percentage, the high number of people employed as nutritionist shows that these may be good job markets as well.
If you are passionate about improving people's health through nutrition and diet, a career as a nutritionist or dietitian might be an excellent choice for you.

Contained Places
Rowan County is a county located in the U.S. state of North Carolina. As of the 2010 census, the population was 138,428. Its county seat is Salisbury.
Rowan County is included in the Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia, NC-SC Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The first Europeans to enter what is now Rowan County came with the Spanish expedition of Juan Pardo in 1567. They established a fort and a mission in the native village of Guatari, believed to be located near the Yadkin River and inhabited by the Wateree. At the time, the area was ruled by a female chief the Spaniards called Guatari Mico. The Spaniards called the village Salamanca in honor of the city of Salamanca in western Spain, and established a mission, headed by a secular priest named Sebastián Montero. The Spaniards abandoned the area at some point before 1572.
The county was formed in 1753 from the northern part of Anson County. It was named for Matthew Rowan, acting governor of North Carolina from 1753 to 1754.
Originally, Rowan County was a vast territory with an indefinite western boundary. Reductions in its extent began in 1770, when the eastern part of it was combined with the western part of Orange County to become Guilford County, North Carolina. In 1771 the northeastern part of what remained of Rowan County became Surry County. In 1777 the western part of Rowan County became Burke County. In 1788 the western part of the now much smaller Rowan County became Iredell County. In 1822 the eastern part of the still shrinking county became Davidson County. Finally, in 1836 the part of Rowan County north of the South Yadkin River became Davie County.
The "250 Fest" celebrating the 250th anniversary of Rowan County occurred in 2003.

About Poesis
Poesis, the über-cool handbag line launched in 2001 from scientist-turned-fashion-pro Denton Freeman, is back!
The brand behind a quintessential entrepreneurial tale, lives on, resurrected with the creativity and style that captivated customers across the country. Poesis has been relaunched with a calling that goes beyond simply designing unexpectedly gorgeous handbags — to a social mission of putting people to work the world over, starting right here in the U.S.
What was the inspiration for relaunching the brand? Her fans and customers. Online requests and personal appeals for Poesis spurred Denton, previously the director of digital innovation and creative strategist for an advertising agency, to return to her beloved world of fashion and design.
But Denton was not always immersed in creative endeavors; before starting Poesis in 2001, she was a successful research scientist with a Ph.D. in immunotoxicology. Unable to find a unique, fashionable handbag, she did what only a budding entrepreneur would do — she designed her own. Her bags quickly became highly sought after, and after hanging up her lab coat, she founded Poesis in 2001 from her dining room table. But she didn't completely leave her science heritage behind; her choice of a business name, "Poesis," (pronounced pó-uh-sis) is a Greek root used in science meaning "creation."
Several years after launching her line of handbags and women's accessories, Denton opened the very modern flagship Poesis boutique in the Carytown area of Richmond, Virginia, which she helped design. With cutting-edge backlit floating walls and video screens, the design and branding were "outside the box," as was the company vehicle — an eye-catching pink polka-dotted Hummer!
After a few short years of being in business, her designs rose to national acclaim. Iconic Poesis handbags were featured on popular TV shows including Friends and Sex in the City and carried by an array of Hollywood's best-dressed stars -- Sarah Jessica Parker, Charlize Theron and Hilary Swank -- to name just a few. The handbags and accessories, appearing in dozens of top fashion magazines like InStyle and Lucky, and featured in Valerie Van Arsdale Shrader's book Hippest Handbags, blend the timeless and the quirky, the stylish and the functional in uncommon ways.
Today, our vision is to become a leading made-to-order, luxury handbag designer made in the U.S.A.

NESCent/BEACON Evolution Scholar - Travel Award
WHAT IS THE NESCent/BEACON EVOLUTION SCHOLAR AWARD?
Motivated, energetic, enthusiastic science instructors at the high school and community college levels are invited to apply for awards to attend the 2014 Professional Development Conference of the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT), to be held in Cleveland, OH from Nov. 12th through 15th, 2014.
Up to 20 awards are available for high school and community college instructors. The awards are sponsored by the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) and the BEACON Center for the Study of Evolution in Action. Each award covers the cost of meeting registration, as well as a small daily stipend to cover local transportation, parking and food while at the conference. (Anyone is welcome to apply, but we are not able to cover long distance travel or accommodations. Therefore, award recipients must be local to the Cleveland area, i.e., within daily commuting distance, or willing to cover long-distance travel and lodging expenses out-of-pocket.)
As a NESCent/BEACON Evolution Scholar, you will have the opportunity to participate in multiple symposia, workshops and presentations focusing on evolution science and pedagogy. In addition, you will have access to a huge variety of sessions and talks related to all other aspects of biology education and will have the opportunity to network with hundreds of talented and enthusiastic biology educators from around the country.
Applicants should be high school or community college instructors with a passion for learning about and teaching evolution. They should be committed to covering evolution-related topics in their courses in innovative ways. In addition, they should be able to demonstrate a long-standing commitment to instructor professional development - both their own, and that of their colleagues.
The goal of this program is to identify talented, enthusiastic instructors who are excited about evolution, provide them with the opportunity to acquire new knowledge and pedagogical skills at the NABT conference, and then have them share this with their students (through classroom activities) and colleagues (through professional development activities).
As a NESCent/BEACON Evolution Scholar you will, therefore, be expected to:
Attend the entire NABT 2014 Professional Development Conference from Wednesday evening, November 12th through mid-day Saturday, November 15th.
While at the conference, attend the BEACON/NESCent Evolution Symposium (Friday, Nov. 14th from 12:15 to 4:15 PM).
Participate in the Evolution Symposium teacher workshop (Saturday, Nov. 15th from 10 AM to 12:00 PM).
Develop at least one lesson plan, classroom activity or curriculum piece related to evolution and drawing on content to which you were exposed during the conference, and implement it at some point during the 2014/15 academic year. In addition, you should be prepared to share this with colleagues across the nation (via the NESCent Education-Outreach website, the BEACON website and other science-education websites).
At least once during the 2014/15 academic year, share evolution content and pedagogy acquired while at the conference with your colleagues. This could be done formally or informally, via a workshop or professional development session. It could be for colleagues within your department or across your campus. If you are a high school teacher, it could be a workshop offered to teachers in your district, or at your annual state science teachers association conference. We want you to be creative in how you share this with your colleagues, but the broader the impact, the better!
If you're interested in becoming a NESCent/BEACON Evolution Scholar and helping to bring cutting edge evolutionary science to your institution, please complete the application form at www.nescent.org/NABT2014travelaward.
If you have questions, please contact Dr. Jory Weintraub at firstname.lastname@example.com.
DEADLINE TO APPLY IS 8 PM EASTERN (5 PM PACIFIC) ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 13th, 2014. AWARD WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED BY THURSDAY, OCTOBER16th.

Merlin star Katie McGrath has revealed that she wants her character to grow even more evil.
The actress - who can currently be seen in Madonna's new film W.E. - plays sinister witch Morgana in the BBC One fantasy drama.
Asked by Digital Spy if her character could be darker, she replied: "I hope so! God yeah!"
McGrath also admitted that she is still shocked by the level of fan support for Merlin.
"The show's grown up [this year] and it's moved on," she suggested. "People seem to love it. I still can't quite believe it's beloved as much as it is."
Merlin continues this Saturday at 8.10pm on BBC One.

Benefits to Teachers and Caregivers
When teachers and caregivers make the effort necessary to involve families and community members, they benefit in many important ways:
- The involved adults have a greater appreciation of the challenges of working with young children in group settings.
- Families and community members come to value and respect teachers' efforts and are more likely to speak positively with others about early education (Gestwicki, 2007).
- With added assistance, teachers can also do a better job in their teaching (Berger, 2004). While a parent or community member is busy with a small-group art project, for example, the teacher is freed up to work with other children in the classroom.
- Bringing in other adults with unique talents and abilities also adds to the excitement of the classroom and often leaves teachers feeling more satisfied with their work (Gestwicki, 2007).
- As teachers work to involve parents and community members, their relationships with children also tend to improve. With more time for each child, increased understanding, and a more exciting curriculum, children respond more positively to teachers.
Benefits to Parents and Families
The difficult task of parenting is often a struggle for many adults. When parents are involved in the schools, they find opportunities for support that make this task a little more manageable (Powell, 1998). Just knowing that other parents are struggling with the same issues is reassuring to many. Talking through parenting challenges with others gives parents new ideas and renewed motivation to manage their struggles with children.
Conversations with teachers and opportunities to see them deal with similar issues in the classroom also provide parents with good options to try with their children at home (Gestwicki, 2007). Parents who get involved also gain new insights into their own children's lives in a different setting. All of this tends to strengthen their self-esteem and hone parenting skills. The Head Start program has many examples of parents who have gotten involved in school activities and gone on to improve their lives in a variety of ways (Administration for Children and Families, 2006).
Complex family situations often make it difficult for families to get involved during the classroom day. But getting them to participate in school-related activities in the home setting can be encouraged successfully in many circumstances.
Benefits to Children
When parents, community members, and teachers work together, children's lives are improved. Children who see a variety of concerned adults working to help them improve their school performance respond positively, leading to increased achievement (Olsen & Fuller, 2003). This involvement makes it clear to children that schooling is important; as a result, their motivation to succeed is strengthened. Just as with parents, children also tend to have improved self-concepts when parents, community members, and teachers combine efforts on their behalf. It feels good to know so many important people care. Participation also benefits children by providing an enriched classroom environment (Gestwicki, 2007). When parents get involved in the classroom, more hands-on activities (which simply could not be managed without additional help) become possible. A trip to a local grocery store, for example, to learn about an important community business would not be possible without parents and others to assist along the way.

Jeff Teague has been one of the Hawks' best players over the last several years, and a big part of their success over the last two years. However, he isn't really an elite point guard. Dennis Schroeder is about as good, if not better, so they didn't need Teague that badly. They got a lottery pick in the trade as well, so they will have the opportunity to add a potential quality player in the draft if they want to keep the pick.
The Hawks could grab the opportunity to draft a high-profile prospect by exploring a trade with the Jazz. With a package centered in Teague and their own first round pick, Atlanta could create an enticing deal for the Jazz's No. 12 pick. However, it may be too pricey for the Hawks, which leaves them the Jazz as the most ideal trade partner to climb up the draft.
It seems that things have been coming to a head between the hawks and Teague for awhile. If it's been brewing it usually means that the player wasn't in synce with leadership and possibly teammates too. Both the Hawks and Pacers will benefit
From the trade, Hawks get a high-ish pick and Pacers get a guard who's better on the ball.
No, releasing Jeff Teague was not a smart move by the Atlanta Hawks. The Indiana Pacers have acquired him and he may be a great player for their team. A team should try to keep all of its good players so that it can compete against other teams. The Hawks should not have released Teague.

Arts council's funding boost
Spending on individual artists by the Arts Council of England is to nearly double to £25m over the next few years, officials have announced.
The organisation also said it would increase funding of the groups it already supports by a further £70m, to £300m by 2006.
The Arts Council says the drive is designed to place "the arts at the heart of national life".
The body has undergone several months of restructuring, merging with regional arts boards to form one central organisation.
A programme which encourages schoolchildren to develop their abilities will be expanded, with 32 schemes accounting for £45m.
It has also done away with complicated grants applications - instead of more than 100 separate application schemes there will be just five.
There will be a single central telephone number, and applicants will no longer have to approach various regional bodies seeking funding.
Mr Robinson declared that the arts had the power to transform lives.
"Our ambition is to place the arts at the heart of national life and we are planning a bold programme of investment to achieve that aim," he said.
Under the restructuring, the council's title will be truncated to Arts Council England from Monday.
It has employed an outside agency to carry out the rebranding at a cost of £70,000.
Mr Robinson said the money had been well spent.
"We needed to have a single logo and this will make us much more visible to the public," he said.
The council recently gave the English National Opera a lifeline with a multi-million pound grant.
ENO chairman Martin Smith has admitted that without the emergency funding the company would by now be in receivership.

What reminds you of Summertime?
What reminds you of Summer. Playing in the yard? Trips to the Coast? I grew up outside Atlanta & remember eating pecans from the ground & picking peaches from trees in the Summer.
We also went on a Summer Road Trips. We would pile into the station wagon & drive across the Country to North Dakota to see the grandparents. Disneyland. The beach, both Coasts. Nashville & the Grand Ol Opry. Michigan to see more relatives. Seattle for more of the relatives. Does your family do that? We camped, we stayed a motels along the highway (nothing fancy), ate a truck stops (grilled cheese & hash browns). I was the map reader. Do people still use maps?
Now I typically stay home for the Summer & travel to see friends & family during the Fall & Winter. Mostly to sunny destinations & always end with a fruity adult beverage.
Cheers to Summertime. Are you ready? Me too!

(Former Russian torpedo-boat destroyer: dp. 350; l. 202~'; b. 22'4"; dr. 7'6"; s. 27 k.; cpl. 64; a. 2 11 pdrs., 2 mg., 2 tt.; cl. Bestrashi)
Youresovski, or more properly Kapitan Youresovski —a torpedo-boat destroyer built in 1899 for the Imperial Russian Navy at the Schichau yard in Danzig, Germany—was placed in commission in the Imperial Russian Navy soon thereafter and was assigned to the Siberian Flotilla, probably based at Vladivostok. She served with that unit at least until the beginning of World War I.
Not long after the outbreak of war, she and most of her sisters were transferred to the Russian Baltic Fleet with which she served until the Treaty of BrestLitovsk ended hostilities on the Eastern Front in March 1918. Sometime before Germany's collapse on the Western Front, Kapitan Youresovski was again transferred, this time to the fleet operating out of Murmansk.
When American forces moved into northern Russia in the spring of 1918, they found the Russian warship in a dilapidated, but repairable, condition. Craftsmen attached to Olympia (Cruiser No. 6) set about the task of reconditioning her for service with the Allied interventionist forces. With a crew of 60 from 0lympia's company, Kapitan Youresovski was placed in service in the summer of 1918. She served as a patrol vessel and a home for 50 American sailors until late 1918 or early 1919 at which time she was placed out of service.
The disposition of the former Imperial Russian torpedo-boat destroyer is not known; however, she does not appear on any postwar Soviet Navy listings. Presumably, she was eventually scrapped.

"Touch Crime Solving"? more like "Point and Click Adventure," "Touch Adventure," or maybe just plain old "Adventure"
That's some incredible pupil dilation.
you'd be quite surprised at how many "touch crimes" are committed in this country, and the if the stocks on *ahem* video shelves are anything like to go by, people like witnessing and, ermmm, solving these mysteries, if you get my drift.
