The WorryWoo Monsters are adding new hardcover books and plush dolls to their collection. This series is meant to give children uplifting messages and allow for an open dialogue between parents and their children about subjects that don't have easy answers.
Beginning in October, kids can enjoy reading The Very Frustrated Monster, a story about a monster called Twitch that allows frustration to get the best of him all the time. Twitch will also be available in an 11-inch plush bear with a purple body, wings, and twisty thorns. This toy is recommended for children ages 3 and up.
Don't Feed the WorryBug is a book that talks about Wince, the Monster of Worry. Wince tries to keep his worries under control but is always tempted by another character, The WorryBug. Wince is available in an 11-inch doll with silky ears, a tail, and wings. Wince's nemesis, The WorryBug, is also a new addition to the WorryWoo Monsters collection. This six-inch plush doll loves to worry all the time and was designed for all ages. The more a child worries, the more this monster will eat.

VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC Residency teams look to continue their success this Sunday as both the U-16 and U-18 teams California side San Juan SC at UBC's Thunderbird Stadium in United States Soccer Development Academy (USSDA) action.
Gordon Forrest's U-18 team remain on top of the West Conference, Northwest Division standings boasting a record of 14W-6L-2D going into Sunday's clash against San Juan SC, who find themselves in eighth position in the West Conference, Northwest Division with a 3W-12L-5D record. Kickoff is scheduled for 11 a.m. at Thunderbird Stadium.
Following the U-18 match, Whitecaps FC U-16s hope to improve upon their sixth place position in the West Conference, Northwest Division, holding a record of 6W-13L-3D going into Sunday's match against San Juan SC. The California side are currently in ninth place in the West Conference, Northwest Division with a record of 3W-13L-4D. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. at Thunderbird Stadium.
Both Residency sides will be without players from their rosters, as five Whitecaps FC Residency program members are representing Canada at the CONCACAF U-17 Championship. The boys have already qualified for the FIFA U-17 World Cup and will now look to earn a medal in the third-place match against Honduras on Friday.
The U-18s will be looking to further extend their five match winning streak following a 2-0 win against Portland Timbers Academy on Saturday, April 6. Goals for the Blue and White came from Yassin Essa and Spencer Deboice in the important win that protected their spot at the top of the standings.
Forrest will be looking for a good showing from his team in spite of the absences from the squad.
"There's been a lot of preparation this week with the players that we do have available," Forrest commented.
"We've got a few players away with the national team and we've got two players who are on the road to recovery so there are a few younger players coming into the squad."
"It will be a difficult one; they'll come and work hard against us and we've got to be prepared for that. It's good for the players to showcase themselves at home and I think they'll enjoy a run of playing in Vancouver. It's great for anyone who wants to come out and watch the players as well."
The U-16s will be looking to rebound from a disappointing 4-0 loss to Portland Timbers Academy on Saturday, April 6.
Head coach Craig Dalrymple will be looking for his young team, depleted by call-ups to the U-18s, to continue the performance levels they demonstrated against a more experienced Portland side last time out.
"It will give us another opportunity to call up some U-15s into the squad and there were some real positive signs from the last trip to Portland," explained Dalrymple.
"The challenge has now been laid out in front of the group to maintain that standard that they performed against Portland. We've watched the video a number of times and broken it down and highlighted all the success that they had outside of the score line so I think they're reasonably confident going into the weekend."
"We're not too sure when the U-17 lads get back from their successful qualification to the World Cup but it would be nice in the remaining six games for the boys that have an opportunity to play up an age group or two, to get some of their own success on the field."

By Jeff Franks and Helen Murphy and Jack Kimball
HAVANA/BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombia's Marxist rebels called a two-month unilateral ceasefire on Monday, the first truce in more than a decade, as delicate peace talks began in Cuba to try to end a half century of war.
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos' government reiterated, however, that there would be no halt to military operations until a final peace deal is signed with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as FARC.
The rebel group said it would halt all offensive military operations and acts of sabotage against infrastructure beginning at midnight on Monday and running through January 20.
"This decision by the FARC is a decisive contribution to strengthen the climate of understanding needed so the parties ... can achieve the purpose desired by all Colombians," lead rebel negotiator Ivan Marquez said, standing outside a convention center for the start of talks in Havana.
The gesture is a sign that the rebels may be keen to push talks to a successful end - something that was thrown into doubt by long, drawn-out speeches by its leadership calling for major changes to Colombia's political system.
The warring sides arrived at the talks in black luxury cars and will meet almost daily until negotiations end.
A crush of journalists surrounded the bearded, bespectacled Marquez who stood with other FARC delegates, including Dutch national Tanja Nijmeijer in Havana's plushest neighborhood.
Some FARC members wore caps and T-shirts of Simon Trinidad, an official guerrilla negotiator who is in prison in the United States. Others shouted "Long Live the Army of the People."
The head of the Colombian government delegation, Humberto de la Calle, smiled and waved as he entered but made no comment.
Speaking from Bogota, Colombian Defense Minister Juan Carlos Pinzon doubted the sincerity of the FARC's ceasefire pledge.
"Security forces have the constitutional duty to pursue all criminals that have violated the constitution," he said. "Hopefully they keep their promise, but history shows that this terrorist group never complies with anything."
Colombia's war has dragged on for 50 years, taking thousands of lives, displacing millions more and causing damage to infrastructure in Latin America's longest running insurgency.
A failure of the latest peace process would mean years of more fighting and further blight on the reputation of a country eager for foreign investment and regional clout, yet which has been unable to resolve its most serious domestic problem.
Residents in western Cauca province, one of Colombia's most war-ravaged areas, celebrated the FARC ceasefire.
"We hope it's not just two months, we hope that it's definitive," Orlando Ramos, a resident in Miranda, Cauca, said on local television.
The announcement by the FARC could be a breather for oil and mining companies, the target of many FARC attacks in recent months as the group sought to hobble Santos' main source of international revenue.
The war costs Latin America's fourth-largest economy 1 to 2 percentage points of gross domestic product every year, according to the government, and makes large tracts of arable land unsafe due to combat or landmines.
"A peace agreement with the FARC could entice more sectors and investors into Colombia," said Eurasia Group's Latin America analyst Heather Berkman.
"The opportunities for agriculture production in particular could reshape the country's export sector, particularly as both small-scale and larger farmers could produce on land long off-limits due to security troubles."
Santos wants an agreement within nine months, while the rebels say the process will likely take longer. The two sides face plenty of thorny issues in their five-point agenda, which will begin with rural development.
Previous peace attempts have failed, but both the government and the FARC have expressed optimism that this time might be different.
Not everyone is so upbeat though.
"You have to take this announcement with a grain of salt," Felix Lafaurie, head of Colombia's National Federation of Cattle Ranchers, said on Colombian radio.
"I hope this is going to be a sign of the FARC's good will and not that they'll then take swipes on substantive issues."
The vast majority of Colombians support the peace process, although they think it will ultimately fail. Even so, the talks are the biggest gamble in Santos' political career and their success or failure may decide the outcome of the next election in 2014.
The conflict dates back to 1964 when the FARC emerged as a communist agrarian movement intent on overturning Colombia's long history of social inequality. During the 1990s, the FARC controlled large parts of the country.
In the early 2000s, billions of dollars in U.S. aid, improved intelligence and increased mobility began to turn the tide of the war in favor of the government.
The FARC has lost at least half a dozen top commanders and been pushed back into remote jungle hideouts in recent years, though the rebels are far from a spent force and still wage attacks on security forces and economic infrastructure.
Violence was among the reasons previous peace talks failed. In the last attempt from 1999 to 2002, the government broke off negotiations after the FARC hijacked an airplane.
"The FARC have heard the voice of many Colombians, that rightly have been skeptical about its willingness to reach an end to the war, given the past," said Juan Fernando Cristo, a senator for the Liberal Party.
"The decision for a unilateral truce should fill us with optimism about what's coming at the negotiating table."

text: A colleague at work mentioned that he got one of those mail administrator returned mail emails about an email that he never sent. I told him to just change his account password, although he's convinced there's actually a hacker trying to use his email account. Is there any basis to his fears and does he need to wipe his entire system and start again with the same account password as he seems to think? What should I suggest he do?

College finance 101
Think you want (or want your son or daughter) to attend a Catholic college but can't imagine how you'll afford it? You don't have to be independently wealthy. Recent graduates, their families, and professionals have some suggestions.
Don't balk at extra paperwork. "When people say they can only afford a state school, I tell them they have to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) before they can really know," says Katie Sullivan, a 2005 University of San Diego graduate. Schools base their need-based aid awards—both grants and loans—on this financial profile that determines a student's expected family contribution.
Apply for outside scholarships and grants, and start early. Sullivan spent a lot of time in her high school's post-grad center, going through a file cabinet full of scholarship information. The extra paperwork was not fun: "I did a lot of complaining," she remembers.
Still, when her mom figured out how many hours Sullivan had toiled on the applications compared to how many scholarship dollars she received, even she had to admit the effort was well worth it. She paid attention to lesser-known scholarships and ended up having her freshman year at USD fully funded.
Get to know the financial aid office. Notre Dame was Dusty VonHandorf's first choice, but it was a real stretch financially. "We had excellent rapport with the financial aid office at Notre Dame," says his mom, Jan. "They showed us what was available and how we could make it work."
VonHandorf remembers one particularly helpful financial aid officer assuring her, "We will not let your son get to his senior year and not be able to finish because of finances." That assurance—and the aid they did provide—convinced her that Dusty's dream school was a real possibility.
Sullivan does have one caution about financial aid offices, however: Plenty of students work in them, so if you don't get the answer you need, be persistent and talk with one of the professionals.
Be creative. John Houser sidestepped the cost of books by checking out texts from the Xavier library. Sometimes he settled for previous editions, but he saved hundreds of dollars a year. And in 2004 when Houser wanted to travel from Cincinnati to Atlanta to see Xavier's basketball team play in the Sweet 16 tournament, he funded the trip by entering and winning "Mr. Muskie," Xavier's male pageant.
Pay attention to hidden costs. "Four-year graduation rates at Catholic schools are noticeably higher than at public schools," says Richard Yanikoski, president of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities. What looks like a deal at State U might not be such a deal if it typically takes five or more years to finish a degree.
If you can't pay for your dream school, don't despair. Maybe the extra thousands it would cost to go to Georgetown or Boston College just aren't available. It's still possible to have a great college experience at a second- (or third-) choice school. "Even at an institution that's not quite your cup of tea, you're likely to find like-minded people if you look around and make connections," says Yanikoski.—Heather Grennan Gary

probably more then that i am rude because you are saying that we are blind but you actually are XD And common i copied theses links from this web site and this is from this week so
...was just referring you not being here the whole time... and if you would read my text right you would see that I wrote I have never ever seen MATRILINEAR being the first....so stop being an asswhole
i have been in this web site at least 1 year and half
lol i was here more then 25 days its just that the shows that i watch stopped for the summer....... So it was a while since i didn't watch a show like since may but hey like i said when you don't know what you are talking about just don't talk
yeah lol .... copied those from which page? And why are you so rude? you calling me dumbass, why? you are being the rude and stupid one.... you are here like what? 25 days? And WATCHED like 6 days ago ONE episode of Elementary...just one single episode lmao.... why are you so defensive about haishisei???
My advise for you is when you don't know what you are talking about just don't talk or write at all
Oh and there is another one that he was the first one to upload links http://anyuzhou.com/800-words-season-3-episode-14-s03e14_407745
you are the blind one men
and haishisei was the first to upload links
Lol a long time ago try yesterday dumbass http://anyuzhou.com/elementary-season-6-episode-21-s06e21_424192
Kruciphix and GummyYummyBear ... pretty sad that you two are so blind! Just click on every show here which came out in the last months... the first ones who upload something are always Tonia1, aAnder or polferis or warlam or hd movies.... and never ever have I seen matrilinear being the first, haishisei looong time ago (but maybe just the older links are deleted?)... but they are always the last....everytime someone uploaded something you can turn on the stopwatch and there you go, hashisei or matrilinear come out with a new link so they are back on top of the lists again... I think they even try to outdo each other lmao... I don´t care if they are bots or not, but they also never ever answered to anything, to a question or made a comment or made a review....Matrilinear is following Haishisei and Tonia1, but they also don´t have any favourite shows themselves and they haven´t "watched" anything since may and june but are on here all the time...so....if they are not here to watch anything, what are they doing here anyway? this just doesn´t give me a good feeling because I don´t think they upload EVERY show EVERY other day again and again and again just for the fun.....
If you are talking to me I never judge anyone and never I was mean and I never said Tonia1 had bad links I just said that Hashhisei has better link and tonia1 is judging people and being mean but if you are not talking to me, I just wanted to make sure clarified things since you didn't said who you were talking about @llllllllllllllllll
OH my fucking god why the fuck do you feel it necessary to judge anyone keep your loud ass mean talking attitude out of the reviews and for a side note @Tonia1 has good links! your just cut up and thought the good thing to do would be to slur and badger someone, how about next time you leave your opinions at the mother fucking door!!!
@GummyYummyBear Thank you, it's an honour
LOL @Tonia1 - like I said - stupid and rude.
Tonia1 you wrote this Do whatever you want honeys... And i'll do whatever the hell i want. So easy, so simple.... But you are telling us what to do againg contradiction
@GummyYummyBear Just fuuuuuuuuuuck offfffffff
Look who is talking the one who is contradicting herself lol you are the stupid one, like i said i never had a virus using Hashhisei's link and i used his link like more then a hundred time so stop saying that he is a virus bot since he is not a bot and his links doesn'st give virus at all
@Tonia1 then STFU about other people's links. You do what you want, and STOP telling us what to do, and we will do what we want, and watch whichever links we like. Sorted.
No honey, im just bored of telling the same again and again to stupid-idiot people. And unfortunatelly, there are lot of you out there....
See, she can't answer me because i'm right Oh and GummyYummyBear Yes it would be very useful but people like tonia1 only wants attention so it's probably why she does this kind of thing
I really liked this show until 3:5 but that episode was totally disappointing and I lost love for the two main characters. I haven't completely given up on the show though, I plan on seeing it through because they may be able to fix their mistake.
Do whatever you want honeys... And i'll do whatever the hell i want. So easy, so simple....
@Kruciphix Thanks The only thing I wish the uploaders would put in the comment box is relevant information - subtitles and size (HD or SD). That would be very useful.
And gummyYummyBear has a point
LOL you just contradicted yourself How can he be my friend if he is a bot XD And one other thing Hashhisei is almost always the first one to put links so how does he copy anyone's link if his link are the first one???? You can't answer that without Contradicting yourself XD!!!

So we're good?
Things started up super quick this time around. As for computer usage... so far things are working more swift as well than before. I was able to open folders and whatnot on here without any issues. Programs I bought up to test didn't freeze and such either..
Everything looks fine.
since everyone's doing it:
notice anything w/ mine? never used "hijack this" before, don't know much about it or what to look for. no real computer problems (everything runs great) but i have a dual boot, and this is the one i don't care as much about so i do a lot of downloading and stuff on it...wouldn't be surprised if something fishy was going on..whats all the "file missing" crap towards the bottom?
usually use a combination of CCleaner, malwarebytes, and avg internet security suite 8 for firewall and virus protection, haven't run any scans on any of them in a long time
As for the missing files, it's probably because of the OS you're running. Sometimes, HJT won't be able to browse certain folders, so they just report those files as missing. Not a big deal, unless you start having prompts pop up out of nowhere on your computer.

AMD Fusion for Gaming
Fusion debuts... as a software system speed booster
This is undeniably convenient but it made no measurable difference to the performance of our test PC which was built on an MSI DKA790GX motherboard with a Phenom X4 9850 processor and 2GB of 1066MHz DDR 2, all running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. We understand that the Fusion utility will also run on Windows XP.
3DMark06 Results - CPU at 2.5GHz
Longer bars are better
If you fancy a more aggressive approach, you can switch to Advanced mode and then select either the Advanced profile, which works in much the same way as Basic mode except it shuts down a longer list of applications, such as Cryptographic Services. These modes may cause some concern as Fusion will, for instance, shut down your firewall however you can edit any of the profiles to dictate how it works.
Advanced mode
When you finish a gaming session you click the Fusion button to restart all of your software with the minimum of fuss.
3DMark06 Results - CPU overclocked to 3GHz
Longer bars are better
The third mode is Expert and this is where things get interesting as Fusion runs AMD Boost and also kicks AMD OverDrive, ATI Catalyst Auto-Tune and Hard Drive Acceleration into life. Despite the dramatic capitalisation, Hard Drive Acceleration is nothing more than hard drive cacheing, which is an option in System properties.

Mark Hayward's City Matters: A tree once grew on Blodget St....well, into itBY MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 22. 2013 9:39PM
Nature exists, even thrives, in our cities, but only by making some accommodations.
Squirrels frolick in lawns and parks, where acorns and birdseed abound. But they can't be crawling into basements and houses to birth and raise their young.
Rain falls and makes its way to the sea, but through our sewer drains and culverts.
Meadows — with all sorts of weeds, wildflowers and critters — don't do well here. But a lawn gets all the fertilizer, water and care it needs, as long as it surrenders any hopes of height and diversity.
Conform, our city says, and thrive.
So it's not surprising — some would say it's a long time overdue — that a wayward silver maple on Blodget Street felt the sting of a chain saw earlier this month.
To say the tree was "on Blodget Street" is no exaggeration. Decades ago, it was obviously planted in the right of way — the grassy 4-foot-wide strip located between sidewalk and roadway.
But like an errant teenager, the tree took off in its own direction. Giving no consideration to Blodget Street, or the motorists who travel the road, the tree grew into the road. When cut on May 3, its trunk was 4 feet into the street, gobbling up about 15 percent of the public way.
Its stump remains there today, still formidable. In fact, city workers have placed a protective marker atop it to designate the hazard, lest any late-night, curb-hugging motorist end up getting waylaid by a tree stump.
The stump shows scars of previous accidents. Neighbors said snow plows have clipped it. And it was so monstrous that it would dam up stormwater, backing it into the driveway and lawn of Joan O'Brien, the closest homeowner to the tree.
"It got to the point where we considered it a hazard, a potential hazard," said Parks Director Peter Capano, whose job includes taking care of city trees. "We wanted to get it before it came down and did some damage."
Capano estimated the maple was 80 feet tall and about 75 years old. The city paid Boisvert Brothers Tree Service $1,500 to remove the tree. The stump shows extensive rot, starting from a street-side buckle in the bark and moving inward past the center.
"Every storm we had, a branch would come down and we'd lose power," said Andy Keniston, who lives across the street from the tree. He said the tree housed racoons, skunks and possums, along with squirrels and songbirds.
"It's just old. It's what happens," he said of its demise. "It's sad to see an old majestic tree go, but it was dying and on its way out."
O'Brien said he was happy to see it go, given the stormwater backups.
"I've been trying to get rid of it for years," she said. About 10 years ago, a city official looked at the tree and said it was fine. Then three years ago, the city tore up her street to put in new gas lines. Residents ended up with a new pavement, but rather than address the tree invasion, workers just paved around the tree.
Even last year, a city official came to look at the tree. He basically said O'Brien could have it removed, but the city wasn't going to do so, she said.
Then on May 3, Boisvert Brothers showed up and the tree was history.
Capano said it was just time. From time to time, the city heard from motorists concerned about the potential traffic hazard.
Blodget Street does get its share of traffic. Smyth Road runs into Blodget, so traffic associated with the VA Medical Center, Smyth Road School and McIntyre Ski Area all ply the street. Hooksett teenagers use it to get to Central High School in the morning.
I walk my dog there in the morning. The mayor drives down Blodget on his way to work.
It's tough to pinpoint the exact age of the tree. Counting rings sounds easy. That's until you look at them, and they resemble contour lines on a White Mountain map rather than neat concentric circles found in botany textbooks. And the rot in the middle of the tree makes it nearly impossible to count the early years.
Most of the houses on the street near the tree were built in 1930 or the early 1940s. So if the tree were planted when the houses were built, that would make Capano's estimate of 75 years reasonable.
Meanwhile, another errant silver maple remains standing, just a few hundred feet up from O'Brien's tree. It too barks its presence on Blodget Street, preferring the roadway to the right of way. (What is it about Blodget Street? sweet tar?).
Public Service of New Hampshire has kept it trimmed, and its long trunk reveals a couple of amputations where strong limbs once stretched outward. But it would be best advised to stay off Blodget Street. The city is watching.
"It's safe. It's in good shape," Capano said, "we'll keep an eye on that one, too."

A look at last night's setlist via The Rolling Stones' Facebook page
A number of guests joined The Rolling Stones onstage at Los Angeles, CA's Staples Center last night. The tour kickoff—which was delayed by a day due to the NBA Playoffs—opened the second leg of the group's 50 & Counting celebration. Celebrities like Johnny Depp, Martin Scorsese, Perry Farrell and Cate Blanchett reminisced about the band during a series of pre-show video clips. As previously reported, the Stones also played a warm-up gig in LA on April 27.
Keeping with the 50 & Counting format, last night's performance featured a few rarities as well as an eclectic mix of guests. At the start of the evening, the UCLA Bruin Marching Band provided the intro to the show's opening number "Get Off of My Cloud." Soon after, Gwen Stefani—decked out in a sparkling Rolling Stones tank top—emerged for the classic Stones ballad "Wild Horses."
The group dug a bit deeper into their songbook as the night rolled out, busting out their first take on the 1968 Beggars Banquet track "Factory Girl" since October 16, 1997. (The band has only played the number 11 times since their first known live version of the tune in 1990.) Next up, The Rolling Stones launched into the live debut of their hit "Emotional Rescue," the title-track to their 1980 album. Then, country star Keith Urban sat in on the Some Girls song "Respectable." Urban and Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards likely worked up the collaboration when they both performed at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival last month. (Urban covered a Stones song during his set.)
As he did during the Stones' late-2012 shows, former Stones guitarist Mick Taylor rejoined his band for the Let It Bleed number "Midnight Rambler." Like the other 50 & Counting shows, a local choir, the the CSULB Bob Cole Conservatory Chamber Choir, also helped out on "You Can't Always Get What You Want" during the evening's encore.

1383.0.55.001 - Measures of Australia's Progress: Summary Indicators, 2008 (Edition 1)
Previous ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 17/04/2008

Life expectancy at birth is a measure of how long someone born in a particular year might expect to live if mortality patterns for that year remained unchanged over their lifetime. It is one of the most widely used indicators of population health. It focuses on length of life rather than its quality, but provides a useful summary of the health of the population.
Australian life expectancy improved during the decade 1996 to 2006. A boy born in 2006 could expect to live to be 79, while a girl could expect to reach 83 - increases of three years and two years respectively. Women tend to live longer than men, and this is reflected in the differences in life expectancy throughout the 20th century. Although a girl born in 2006 could still expect to live longer than a boy, in recent years life expectancy at birth has increased more quickly for males than for females.
While Australians are living longer than ever before, there is a good deal of debate about whether life expectancy will continue to increase. However, there is no doubt that there is more room for improvement among some groups of the population compared to others. In particular, life expectancy for Indigenous Australians, both male and female, is estimated to be about 17 years shorter than that of all Australians (see Endnote 2).
For technical information see Endnote 3.

Education and training help people to develop knowledge and skills that may be used to enhance their own living standards and those of the broader community. For an individual, educational attainment is widely seen as a key factor in obtaining a rewarding career. For the nation, having a skilled workforce is vital to support ongoing economic development and improvements in living conditions.
The indicator shown is the proportion of the population aged 25-64 years with a non-school qualification (e.g. university or college education, see Endnote 3), and this has risen over the last decade. Between 1997 and 2007, the proportion of 25–64 year olds with a non-school qualification rose from 46% to 59%, continuing a trend seen for many decades.
The increase in the proportion of people with non-school qualifications is mainly being driven by the substantial increase in the proportion of people with a higher education qualification (e.g. a Bachelor degree or above). Between 1997 and 2007, the proportion of people aged 25-64 years with a Bachelor degree or higher level qualification increased from 16% to 24%. Over the same period, the proportion of people whose highest qualification was a vocational qualification (e.g. an Advanced diploma or diploma or below) increased from 30% to 34%.
For technical information see Endnote 4.

Labour Force, Australia, Spreadsheets (cat. no. 6202.0.55.001).
Paid work is the way most people obtain the economic resources needed for day to day living, for themselves and their dependants, and to meet their longer term financial needs. Having paid work contributes to a person's sense of identity and self-esteem. People's involvement in paid work also contributes to economic growth and development.
The unemployment rate has been chosen as the headline indicator, because of its relevance to the economic and social aspects of work. This rate is the number of unemployed people expressed as a percentage of the labour force, and is a widely used measure of underutilised labour resources in the economy. The graph also includes the labour force underutilisation rate. This is the number of unemployed and underemployed people, expressed as a proportion of the labour force (see Endnote 4). The labour force underutilisation rate gives a broader view of labour underutilisation than the unemployment rate.
Measures of underutilised labour such as the unemployment rate are sensitive to changes in the economy. In 1997, the annual average unemployment rate was 8.3%. Since then it has generally fallen and the annual unemployment rate was 4.4% in 2007. The labour force underutilisation rate fell from 13.6% in 1997 to 8.9% in 2007.
1. Data are three-year averages, with the year shown being the last year of the three-year period.
2. See: Steering Committee for the Review of Government Service Provision 2007, Overcoming Indigenous Disadvantage: Key Indicators 2007, Productivity Commission, Canberra, viewed 11 December 2007.
3. Data relate to the person's highest non-school qualification only, and some people may have more than one qualification. Components do not sum to the total as the total with non-school qualifications includes those where the level could not be determined.
Qualifications are defined as formal certifications, issued by a relevant approved body, in recognition that a person has achieved learning outcomes or competencies relevant to identified individual, professional, industry or community needs. Statements of attainment awarded for partial completion of a course of study at a particular level are excluded.
Non-school qualifications are awarded for educational attainments other than those of pre-primary, primary or secondary education. They include higher education qualifications (e.g. Postgraduate degree, Graduate diploma) and vocational education qualifications (e.g. Certificates I, II, III and IV). Collectively, this group of qualifications is referred to as non-school qualifications instead of post-school qualifications because students can study for vocational qualifications while attending high school.
The level of education classification contains several levels of non-school qualifications. For the purposes of this indicator these have been combined into two groups:
4. The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed people expressed as a percentage of the labour force (employed plus unemployed people). The annual rates shown are the average of each month's unemployment rates, over the 12 months of the calendar year. Original data (rather than trend or seasonally adjusted data) have been used. Unemployment rates for each month can be obtained from Labour Force, Australia, Spreadsheets (cat. no. 6202.0.55.001).
The labour force underutilisation rate is the number of people who are either unemployed or underemployed (defined below), expressed as a proportion of the labour force. It relates to September each year. Labour force underutilisation rates for September of each year can be obtained from Labour Market Statistics, Australia (cat. no. 6105.0).
People who are unemployed or underemployed are defined as follows:

text: Student Profiles Eileen Francis Schneider '04 Eileen Francis Schneider '04 Hometown: Rochester, New York Major: Government and Legal Studies; Art History minor Why did you come to Bowdoin? I had never been in the state of Maine until I visited Bowdoin for an accepted students event, so it was sort of a strange decision. Honestly? I stayed over with a bunch of squash players who were juniors then, and they lived on the 12th floor of [Coles] Tower. Waking up to that view over Bowdoin sealed the deal. So Bowdoin, I only love you because you're pretty. Why did you decide on that major? Since high school I knew I wanted to study American government and I quickly became a Professor Hetherington groupie. Once I found out that a field actually existed where you could study what was on CNN all day, I started focusing on political behavior. After freshman year I told myself to only take classes I wanted to take and worry about distribution and requirements later. Giving myself that freedom to get into Art History was very important. I bombed the first test in 101 and found that once I actually started studying for the next one, I LOVED the process of learning about the images. My art history classes have been amazing; you're really learning the history of all these cultures based on the art they left behind and what they deemed valuable. The material could teach itself, but we have a fantastic department that never disappoints What's the best class you've ever taken at Bowdoin, and why? Well, I hate to eulogize professors who are no longer at Bowdoin, but Professor Marcia Weigle in Government has an infectious passion for European government that her students could not help but be stricken with. I think my friends and I have found that with a lot of Bowdoin professors; they are just so enamored with the subjects they teach that before you know it, you're caught up in their web. The Education department is a great example, I took 101 freshman fall and liked it, but I did not then understand that the department is evangelical -- if you give them an inch, Professor Jennings or Professor Martin will take over your brain and convince you that your life's goal is the educate the youth of America! What extracurricular activities do you participate in? What do you like about them? This year I was a captain of the squash team, which I've played on for four years. I've spent a lot of time working for some squash news sources over the last three years reporting on college squash and writing some interviews and feature articles. I've been the student representative to the committee on the Art Museum for three years, I was a part of the Volunteer Lawyer's Project junior year and back in freshman year I was on the Rugby team. Being involved with athletics in college is unbelievable. We've been lucky enough to have a great group of squash players and a lot of success over the years. If you can be intensely involved in one thing over your whole college career, it provides you with a great map of your time here and how you've changed since you arrived. Squash has, at times, been an incredible motivator and source of happiness, and at other times an incredible annoyance and source of stress. Having a great team to take that ride with you is the only way to do it. What's your best Bowdoin memory? I believe that the best thing I can hope for in terms of a "best Bowdoin memory" is to look back and just be proud of how I spent my time. Its easy to be involved in a lot of things at Bowdoin, and its impossible to get completely perfect results from every venue you're in, be it academics, athletics, relationships, or extracurricular activities. Every year I take stock of what I really remember, and yes, some all-night papers and painful midterms do stick out, but I also remember great squash matches, funny dinners with friends, and interactions with faculty and staff. I'll tell you what my best memory WILL be...most people who know me know that one of my deepest and oldest ambitions is to steal a tour from admissions and just take the group around campus. I have developed elaborate plans for how to lure visitors into my group, but I always change my mind about where I'm going to take them when we set out. I definitely want to have them enter Coleman through a basement window, they can't miss that view of campus from the top of the Tower, and I certainly could not permit anyone to leave Brunswick without spending some quality time on the record-setting linoleum seal in Smith Union. What's your strangest or funniest experience while at Bowdoin? Back in the 2000-2001 school year Bowdoin telephones had a feature, which I fondly refer to as *8, that served as an intercom between any campus phones. By dialing *8 before a room number, you could just speak into that room without the receiver picking up the phone. It was a glorious era for Bowdoin College communications. My friend had a keyboard with pre-programmed beats that sounded like elevator music, so we would call our friends and perform airplane safety announcements and even page specific passengers, all complete with accompaniment. We also created a few personalized songs, many of which I can still sing. The most famous one was addressed to my then-squash captain and began, "Hey, my name is Dana, and I'm a double maja." Trust me, it was hilarious. You'd laugh too if you were sitting in your room and my voice suddenly paged you to return to the baggage claim. Describe your most unique academic experience. Over spring break of my junior year I traveled with Professor Nancy Jennings and five other students to study contemporary issues in urban and rural education. We spent half our time at the Epiphany School in Dorchester, Mass., and the other half looking at rural and island schools in Blue Hill and Islesboro, Maine. It was a phenomenal experience to take that curiosity that our professors had instilled in us in the classroom out to the field and take a hands-on look at what organizations, teachers, and students are facing. At the charter school we tutored students, taught lessons, and even slept on the floor of the library. It turned out to be just another example of Bowdoin students outside the bubble continuing to employ the skills and attitudes that you can expect from a Bowdoin student. What are your plans for after graduation? Step down the stairs very carefully and take my seat. Then take my cap off as soon as possible, I'm very nervous about my fine hair, so I can't be risking anything that would compromise my volumizing efforts. Then go to that lobster bake with my family and probably some parties after that. Actually, I'm all set to apply to law school. I hope to ultimately enter the very sexy field of intellectual property law. Right after graduation, however, I'll be working at a "closely-held" investment firm in New York, engaging in unspecified "closely-held" activities. Is there anything else about Bowdoin or your experiences here that you would want prospective students to know? I have broken almost every rule I set for myself when I was in high school and approaching college, and the warm but adventurous atmosphere at Bowdoin let me do it. If you don't put yourself in challenging or new situations, you'll never have a chance to surprise yourself. I joined teams and activities that I wasn't supposed to, I took classes in departments that I told myself I wouldn't, and I'm looking at post-graduation options that I never would have expected. Those experiences are among the most rewarding things I've done here. My advice pretty much echoes something a professor told me this year, and it applies to everyone: don't shut your own doors, let someone shut them for you.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says Joe Biden "was terrific" in the vice presidential debate.
Obama spoke to Biden briefly after the debate. The president says he "could not be prouder" of Biden and believes he made a strong case for making sure the economy grows for the middle class.
Obama watched the debate on Air Force One as he flew back to Washington following campaign events in Florida. His plane landed four minutes after the debate ended.
The president gave a thumbs-up as he walked down the plane's front stairs. He then walked over to a group of reporters gathered nearby to give his assessment of the debate.
Obama's campaign was hoping for a strong performance from Biden following the president's listless debate last week against Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

Ford is partnering with Azure Dynamics on a five-seater station wagon version of its Transit Connect all-electric vans.
Both companies announced the project Wednesday in time for the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show.
The Ford Transit Connect Electric Wagon will be available in North America immediately, with plans to eventually sell it in Europe as well.
The Transit Connect vans, which went into production in 2010, are already in the fleets of AT&T, DHL, FedEx, and Post Norway, to name a few. The vehicle won the 2010 North American Truck of the Year award, to the surprise of many who'd grown accustomed to the spot often being snagged by a version of Ford's perennial favorite, the F-Series pickup.
The consumer station wagon version of the Transit Connect will have the same Force Drive electric power train developed by Azure and already used in the Transit Connect vans, and will offer a top speed of 75 mph. It will sport a lithium ion battery made by Johnson Controls, and will have a range of between 55 and 80 miles on a single charge, depending on use.
Like most electric vehicles on the road today, its battery will be able to recharge from either a standard 120-volt outlet or a 240-volt charging station.
The wagon is expected to have a sticker price of between $23,000 and $24,000.

Dairy Today Healthline
By Dr. Elliot Block, Senior Manager, Technology, Arm & Hammer Animal Nutrition
Dietary potassium is a significant nutrient for good dairy cow health and nutrition. This macromineral impacts carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid uptake and protein synthesis, all of which aid in milk production as well as reproductive performance, immune function and cow wellbeing. While it's important that prefresh cows not receive too much potassium, cows in early lactation benefit from a boost in dietary potassium levels.
New research1 published in the October 2012 issue of Professional Animal Scientist indicates that fresh cows are often deficient in potassium, especially for the first 10 weeks of lactation. But the deficiency can also persist longer, and can occur even when cows are fed dietary potassium at NRC-recommended levels.
Potassium is often associated with alleviating the effects of heat stress, but we're learning that potassium balance matters more than we realized and it is something that should be monitored and accounted for throughout the year.
What's the Point?
Cows lose a significant amount of potassium through the normal, everyday function of producing milk, and this nutrient must be replaced through the diet to maintain and improve production.
This is important to take into consideration because potassium ions participate in many essential biological processes, such as the maintenance of osmotic potential within cells; nerve impulse transmission; enzyme reactions in cellular metabolism; cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle function; and the maintenance of normal kidney function.2
Potassium's role is also tied to the concept of dietary cation anion difference (DCAD). Potassium is a cation that raises DCAD, which represents interaction among the macrominerals of sodium, potassium, chloride and sulfur. Ideally, DCAD levels should be +35 to +45 meq/100g for cows in early lactation.
Supplemental Potassium Needed
Cows respond positively to supplemental potassium in the diet.
Research3 conducted at the University of Washington in 2008 showed that increasing the level of dietary potassium in the early lactation diet resulted in an increase in production of milk, 3.5% fat corrected milk and milk fat. This increase was not associated with an increase in dry matter intake, and therefore appears to be unrelated to energy intake.
Also, the added dietary potassium carbonate decreased undesirable unsaturated and trans-fatty acids, and increased C18:0 (stearic acid) in milk. (Click here for more on this research.) [link to October 2012 WSU article "Would a little potassium boost your cow's milk fat?]
The research, published in the October Professional Animal Scientist, adds further support for increasing early lactation dietary potassium. It shows cows fed a diet with 1.4% potassium were deficient in potassium through the first 20 weeks of lactation—but most significantly in the first 10 weeks of lactation.
Two possible explanations exist for this deficiency3:
• First, because early lactation cows generally eat less than mid-lactation cows, there is a need to increase nutrient concentrations to reflect reduced feed intakes.
• Second, most previous macro-mineral research was conducted with low and medium producing cows; high-producing cows secrete more of these minerals in milk and generate more acid in the rumen and blood.
However, regardless of the reason why, it's becoming apparent that most early lactation cows need more dietary potassium. To bring a cow into potassium balance, diets need to be supplemented with additional potassium. Total dietary potassium should be a minimum of 1.7%.
Given market conditions, it's important for producers to capture the greatest milk price possible. Since it's been repeatedly shown that potassium can have a positive impact on milk fat production, proper potassium supplementation—especially during early lactation—can help achieve increased levels of milk fat production and potentially improve profitability.

There was a point somewhere in the 1960s when The Rolling Stones were arguably the best dressed band on the planet. They mixed traditional Saville Row threads with flamboyant shirts, cravats and scarves better than anyone. They were the epitome of pop art cool. Check here for evidence.
But then the coolest of the lot of them, Brian, went swimming, Keef got strung out on heroin and Bill grew his hair out. And from a sartorial point of view things went downhill.
Never mind though because there was always Mick. Trouble is that somewhere around 1969 Mick's style compass completely went AWOL. Probably about the time he wore that white dress in Hyde Park (sadly our pic agency doesn't have that image!). Throughout the 70s and well into the 80s, he strutted across the stadiums of the world wearing an increasingly bizarre series of onstage costumes. Maybe that's the point, they were different, daring and bit camp – just like Mick. Sadly like most of the Stones 80s output they looked pretty crap too.
So please don't get me wrong I really love the Stones and always will, but I still take great pleasure in presenting you with Mick Jagger's top ten crimes against fashion. Enjoy. I only wish that we could have shared this one with you too.

"Go Ahead, Open It!"
Once again, I have a rejected New Yorker cover on my hands. This time I had decided not to leave anything up to chance and submitted a finished piece, but to no avail. The New Yorker obviously doesn't appreciate the gift of a dead mouse.
But maybe you do.
While actually catching a mouse in your teeth and presenting at the feet of your loved one is not practical, perhaps giving this print would be the next best thing. If you know a cat owner with impeccable taste, just click the image to the right.
"Go Ahead, Open It!" is a signed, limited edition of 250.

HUGO (Cabret)
We just went to see the NY premiere of Martin Scorcese's HUGO (Academy member perk!) and I have to say, it's a beautiful film. Watching it was a little bittersweet for me though, having been briefly involved with another film version of the same story a couple of years ago. That one was to be directed by a good friend of mine but for reasons I may never know, it was not to be. And while I am certain his Hugo have been absolutely wonderful, I have to hope the very best for Scorcese's. It's a children's film that doesn't pander to current trends in this genre. No sidekicks, wisecracks or fart jokes. Magic and Wonder serve just fine here.
HUGO is also a love letter to cinema and it's easy to see why Scorcese was drawn to it. At the story's center, is the early twentieth century film pioneer, George Melies, who is credited with being the first director to recognize the inherent power of film to create truly fantastic imagery. The image of a rocket crashing into the eye of the man in the moon from his "A Trip to the Moon" is one of the most famous icons in cinema history.
My job on the unfilmed version version of Hugo Cabret was to design the automaton in the story; a nineteenth century mechanical man made of metal and clockwork and magic.
By the way, before running out to see the film, first do yourself a favor and get the original story written and illustrated by Brian Selznick. It's a gorgeous and unique hybrid of text and illustration which in itself is a very cinematic experience. Not a novel or a graphic novel-- but something in between.
And finally, if you want to learn more about George Melies and the restoration of a recently rediscovered color print of Melie's "A Trip to the Moon" take a look at Serge Bromberg's fascinating documentary, The Extraordinary Voyage.

Arthur Christmas
Arthur Christmas is a combined effort from Sony and Aardman Animation. I haven't seen it yet, but enjoyed shifting gears and drawing characters without fur for a change.
Or at least, not a lot of fur.

Not so intelligent design
Apparently, scientists have unearthed fossils of what CNN has rather dubiously described as a saber-toothed squirrel.
If they can use it for their blog, I'm damn well using it for mine!

Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz and Congressman Brian Higgins joined Erie Community College and regional workforce development officials for a ribbon-cutting ceremony of ECC's new, state-of-the-art One-Stop Career Training Center inside its North Campus Gleasner Hall on Tuesday.
"ECC has consistently been looked to by Western New Yorkers for workforce development, because we know how to provide career-focused education and train job-ready students," said ECC President Jack Quinn. "So, it makes perfect sense that the college would take a lot of pride in hosting a center as vital to our region's workforce as the One-Stop."
The ECC One-Stop Career Center, whose previous incarnation stood near the college's South Campus, is open to the public and provides a full range of assistance to job seekers inside one Northtowns facility. Established under the federally funded Workforce Investment Act, the center offers a wide variety of free services to Western New York job-seekers, including résumé writing, career counseling, job listings, training services, access to donated men's and women's business clothing, and similar employment-related services - all collectively supported by the state, college and county.
"The One-Stop Career Center will make it much easier for job seekers to access the information, guidance and other employment-related services they need to succeed with their search," Poloncarz said. "Visits to the center have already increased significantly in the past year, proving that this is a vital resource to county residents looking for work, and this upgraded facility will now be able to help even more people as they begin their new careers."
Thanks to collaborative efforts focused on expanding, technologically enhancing and re-branding, the One-Stop's career-focused services have expanded greatly over the past 12 years, especially for returning U.S. veterans and dislocated workers adversely impacted by foreign trade. The center was also able to host more than 82,000 customer visits in 2012, up from 6,080 in 2001. It will host its first two job fairs - featuring more than 41 hiring businesses - within the next month, as well as host a job fair specifically to aid the hundreds of Western New Yorkers disenfranchised by Bank of America's decision to close its Getzville mortgage operation on May 23.

Born and raised in Langley, British Columbia, defender Vaggeli Boucas joined Whitecaps FC Residency in September 2012 after captaining Surrey United in the EA SPORTS BC Soccer Premier League (BCSPL).
2012-13: The Langley native started all 25 games he played for Whitecaps FC U-16 Residency, registering one goal on the season, scoring for the 'Caps against Pacific Northwest rivals Seattle Sounders FC on March 30, 2013.
Boucas played for Aldergrove Youth Soccer Club between 2001 and 2006. He then shifted to Langley United Youth Soccer Association, where he played for the club's Gold and Metro teams (2007-2010) before ending up at Surrey United in the BCSPL (2011-2012).
The aspiring young player has also competed in provincial competitions at U-13, U-14, U-15 and U-16 levels and played on the U-13 National Training Centre team. He has won gold medals at BC Provincial and National competitions and was captain of Surrey United and the U-16 BC Soccer Provincial team.
The 5-foot-11 defender recently entered his grade twelve year at D.W. Poppy Secondary. His parents are Betty and Bill Boucas.
Boucas is a big fan of Manchester United and ranks former Red Devil Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid notable Sergio Ramos, and Barcelona defensive stalwart Carles Puyol as his favourite soccer players. He one day dreams of playing at Manchester United's famed home stadium of Old Trafford one day. He says his parents have been the most influential people in his career. He also credits his previous coaches for helping him along the way.
Away from the sport, he enjoys hanging out with family and friends and working out, while steak and pasta are his favourite foods.

AUBURN, Ala. – A quartet of former Auburn baseball have helped their respective clubs earn spots in the 2012 Major League Baseball Playoffs. Justin Christian, Josh Donaldson, Tim Hudson and David Ross have all been contributors on either division-winning or wild card-winning teams.
Christian, who lettered at Auburn in 2001, is a reserve outfielder for the National League West champion San Francisco Giants. In his second season in San Francisco, he has appeared in 34 games, hitting .125 with a double and two RBI. Christian has never appeared in a post-season game.
Donaldson, who was a supplemental first round pick out of Auburn in 2007, is the everyday third baseman for the American League West champion Oakland A's. On the season he has appeared in 75 games, hitting .241, but has really been on a tear since being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on August 14 for his third stint in the big leagues this year. In 47 games since the recall, he is batting .290 with 27 runs, 13 doubles, eight home runs and 26 RBI. This will mark Donaldson's first career post-season appearance.
Hudson, a sixth-round pick in 1997 after being named the national collegiate player of the year, is the all-time leading wins winner by former SEC pitchers in MLB history with a 197-104 career record over 14 seasons. This year he has gone 16-7 with a 3.62 ERA for the National League Wild Card-winning Atlanta Braves, logging 179 innings. Hudson has appeared in the postseason six times and is 1-3 with a 3.46 ERA for the Oakland A's (2000-03) and Braves (2005, 2010).
Ross was Hudson's battery mate at Auburn from 1996-97 and is also catching him in Atlanta. The number two catcher for the Braves he has appeared in 62 games this season, hitting .256 with seven doubles, nine home runs and 23 RBI. Ross has appeared in the playoffs three other times (Los Angeles Dodgers – 2004, Boston Red Sox – 2008 and Braves – 2010).
The MLB playoffs begin on Friday with the two wild card matchups. Atlanta will host the St. Louis Cardinals at 4pm CT. Oakland will play Detroit in the an AL Division Series which begins Saturday while San Francisco will play Cincinnati in the NLDS, also starting Saturday.
Auburn's four active players on MLB Playoff teams is the highest among SEC teams.
