Minnesota manufacturers confident, but concerned about worker shortage
Manufacturers in Minnesota remain confident in their firms' future going forward, but they remain mixed about an overall economic expansion and are worried about available qualified workers and health care.
Minnesota's manufacturers remain confident in their firms' futures, as solid revenue, profitability and capital expenditure projections hold steady for the second year in a row, according to The State of Manufacturing, a major survey research project sponsored by Enterprise Minnesota and partners.
From a financial perspective, 82% of executives say they are confident about the future of their firms. This high confidence level is remarkably consistent with data from 2011's survey, and spreads across companies of all sizes, locations and revenues.
However, there are some signs that last year's optimism has subsided a bit. When asked whether they anticipate an economic expansion, a flat economy or a recession, 32% of executives say they expect an economic expansion, down from 40% in 2011. Meanwhile, the percentage of executives who anticipate a flat economy has increased from 49% in 2011 to 55% in 2012.
On key projections for their own firms, executives continue to exhibit much more confidence than they did three years ago, when 32% of executives expected their gross revenues to decline, 34% expected their profitability to decline, and more than one in three (37%) expected their capital expenditures to decrease. This year, only 8% of executives anticipate a decline in gross revenues, and only 13% expect a decline in profitability. Less than one in four (24%) executives expect their capital expenditures to decrease.
However, projections on these three indices are less rosy now than they were a year ago. Where 51% of executives anticipated an uptick in gross revenues and 32 anticipated an increase in capital expenditures in 2011, 47% anticipate increased gross revenues and 27% expect an increase in capital expenditures in 2012. The starkest contrast is seen in profitability projections. While 39% of executives expected their firm's profitability to increase in 2011, only 31% expect it to increase in 2012.
"The value of manufacturing to a healthy economy cannot be stated strongly enough," said Enterprise Minnesota President and CEO Bob Kill. "We saw manufacturing lead the way through the economic recovery in 2011 and the 2012 State of Manufacturing poll results validate that. Through innovation and investment, Minnesota manufacturers are growing, and they are adding high quality jobs."
Other results:
Health care dominates concerns: For the fourth year in a row, health care remains by far the top concern among a list of 11 different factors. Almost seven out of 10 (68%) manufacturing executives now say the cost of health care coverage is a concern for their firm. Health care also rises to the top of the list when it comes to important factors for recruitment. Fully 50% of executives report that affordable health care is an important factor in attracting workers to their firm, up 11%age points from our first survey four years ago. Interestingly, the importance of salary and wage expectations as a recruitment factor has decreased over time: where 43% of executives ranked it as important in 2009, only 22% of executives feel the same way in this year's survey.
Qualified worker shortage: Though it ranked fourth on manufacturing executives' collective list of concerns, worry over finding qualified workers has doubled over the past year. Thirty-one percent of executives say this issue is a concern for their firm, up from 14% in 2011. Firms of larger size and revenue are most likely to rate this as a concern.
Executives' own experiences with recruitment echo their worries on the issue. Nearly six out of 10 (58%) executives say it is a challenge to attract qualified labor to their companies. This is a noticeable increase from 2011, when 45% reported difficulty in attracting qualified labor. The majority of firms across all sizes and locations appear to share this challenge. However, it is the larger companies in terms of revenue (more than $1 million) and size (more than 50 employees) that say it will affect their bottom line. These larger firms are also more likely to have added to their workforce over the past year. It appears that companies going through the hiring process are the most likely to report difficulty in and concern over recruiting qualified talent.
Shipping more internationally: The state's manufacturing industry has hit a new high in the percentage of companies who say they ship internationally. Fully 47% of manufacturing executives now say their firm ships outside the U.S. Nearly one in five respondents (18%) says their firm ships more than 11% of its product overseas. Just three years ago, only 10% of manufacturers reported doing so. Of those who do export, nearly one-quarter (22%) report they are exporting more than they did one year ago.

Annual Salary Survey
After two years of economic concerns, manufacturing leaders once again have homed in on the single biggest issue facing their operations:
It's the workers—or more specifically, the lack of workers.
The 2017 Plant Engineering Salary Survey looks at not just what plant managers make, but what they think. As they look across their plants today, plant managers say they don't have the operational depth to take on the new technologies and new challenges of global manufacturing.

Bulloo Catchment
The Bulloo catchment extends north almost to Isisford and south to just beyond Milparinka in New South Wales. The catchment covers a total area of some 74 900 square kilometres, with the bulk of the area (approximately 74%) contained in Queensland (DNR, 2000). The following information refers to this Queensland portion only.
Major River: Bulloo River
Tributaries: Blackwater, Winbin and Gumbo Gumbo Creeks
The Bulloo catchment is an internally draining system located between the Lake Eyre and Murray Darling Basins.
Three local governments are responsible for administering the Queensland portion of the Bulloo catchment; the Shire Councils of Blackall Tambo Regional, Quilpie and Bulloo.
The urban areas of Adavale, Quilpie and Thargomindah are contained within the Queensland section of the Bulloo catchment. The major urban centre in the Bulloo catchment is Quilpie.
Mulga (Acacia aneura) shrubland is the predominant vegetation type in the Bulloo catchment. Mulga communities can range from open scrubland to tall, open shrublands, predominantly growing on red earths. There are also shallow red earth and lithosol residuals within the catchment that support a selection of bastard mulga, lancewood and Bendee (Boyland 1974 cited in DNR 2000).
The channels of the Bulloo River and its associated streams are fringed by a mixture of gidgee woodland to tall open shrubland in the upper reaches of the catchment and eucalypt low open woodland to open forest in the middle and lower reaches. Dominant eucalypt species in the catchment are river red gum, coolabah and poplar box (DNR 2000).
In the lower reaches of the catchment the Bulloo River is dominated by a large lateral dune system which is vegetated by wetland communities (DNR 2000).
The Bulloo catchment is in an area extremely variable rainfall. Annual average rainfall is in the range of 150 millimetres in the south-west corner to more than 500 millimetres in the headwaters of the Bulloo River. Over 70% of the area receives less than 300 millimetres per annum (DNR 2000).
Grazing, both beef cattle and sheep for wool production, is the predominant industry in the catchment. Irrigated crops are almost non-existent. Opal mining in the catchment has made a significant contribution to the local economy (DNR 2000). The area is also an important source of natural gas, with the Gilmore Gas Field located some 60 kilometres north-east of Adavale (DNR 2000).
The following weeds and pests have been identified as current and potential problems in the Bulloo catchment:
- Exotic Weeds: Mesquite (Proposis flexuosa), Parkinsonia (Parkinsonia aculeate)
- Animal Pests: Feral pig, fox, feral cat, rabbits, feral goat, dingoes, European carp (DNR 2000).
An array of significant fauna and flora species have been listed for the Bulloo catchment under either Commonwealth or State legislation. Of particular interest in the Bulloo catchment are:
- Little Pied Bat
- Fierce Snake
- Grey Grasswren
- Plains Rat
- Greater Bilby
- Western Quoll
- Xerothamnella parvifolia
- Grevillea nematophylla
- Glinus orygioides
- Rhaphidospora bonneyana
There are five wetlands within the Bulloo Catchment listed on A Directory of Important Wetlands in Australia (3rd Edition) (Commonwealth of Australia 2001): Bulloo Lake, Lake Bullawarra, Nooyeah Downs Swamps Aggregation, Bulloo Overflow, Lake Altibouka.

(Social Law Chamber, Supreme Court, May 12, 2015 n° 13-20349)
An employee went to court in order to challenge his dismissal. He made various claims against his employer, including one for compensation for untaken vacation.
Following an EC directive of 2003 which established the right of all employees to a minimum of 4 weeks of vacation every year, the French Supreme Court previously ruled that it is for the employer to prove that he has taken all steps to enable the employee to take his holidays; Failure to do so led to the payment of compensation by the employer to the employee who did not take all his accrued vacation days, in due proportion of these untaken vacation days.
On May 12, 2015, the French Supreme Court changed the rules on the burden of proof. From now on, it will be shared between the employer and the employee, as follows:
- The employer has the burden of proof for the first 4 weeks of vacation days, corresponding to the minimum imposed by the EU.
- The employee will have the burden of proof for any holiday time he may have above these 4 weeks each year.
This will make it easier for the employer but more complex for the courts.

Minyanville's Before The Bell: More Subprime Victims, Global Selloff!
Another subprime victim! Asian and European markets hit hard!
Stocks look to be under heavy downside pressure this morning amid a global selloff. As of 8:00 AM EST, S&P futures are trading down 9.3 points at 4125, Nasdaq futures are trading down 14.8 points at 1900.
Late in the day yesterday, Thornburg Mortgage (TMA), a REIT, became another victim of the subprime fallout. Shares of the company were halted after a number of intraday downgrades citing the effects of the current liquidity crisis. The company later announced it was postponing its dividend and that it will not seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Please read Toddo's Redemption Songs for a great context of the current liquidity crisis.
In Australia, Basis Capital announced to its investors that losses at one of its hedge funds may exceed 80%. Due to ongoing global credit concerns, the company's creditors are forcing Basis Capital to sell its assets even as it is unable to "accurately estimate" the value of units in its Yield Fund. The news sparked a sell-off in markets overseas. Among the hardest hit markets were the Hang Seng down -2.87% and Nikkei down -2.19%. Financials were the biggest of casualties. Get a great perspective with Professor Reamer's Hedge Funds Out Of Excuses?
The selling is hitting European markets as well. CAC is down -1.60%, DAX is down -0.94%, and FTSE is down -1.50%.
In a bit of positive news, Mortgage Bankers Association's index of application to purchase or refinance debt rose to 678.7 from 656.5 last week, the highest level in three months. Also Nestle's shares rose the largest in five years after beating consensus estimates and announcing a buyback of $21 bln. The world's largest food company based in Switzerland also stated higher food prices will likely slow volume growth, but still expects above-target organic growth.
There will be plenty of information for the markets to digest this morning. Below is a look at the economic data released today:
8:30 CPI: 0.2% cons
8:30 Core CPI: 0.2% cons
8:30 NY Empire State Index: 19.0 cons
9:00 Net Foreign Purchases: $126.1 bln

INGLEWOOD — The Los Angeles County district attorney's office said it is reviewing allegations by state Assemblyman Curtis R. Tucker that Inglewood school board members tried to "bribe" former Supt. Rex Fortune by offering to rehire him if he helped a board member defeat a felony charge.
Steve Sowder, head deputy district attorney for special investigations, said the agency will decide within two weeks whether to launch a full investigation.
Tucker, in a statement to the news media this week, claimed that board majority members attempted to bribe Fortune by including, as a condition of his reinstatement, that he aid board member Caroline Coleman in her defense.
To Stand Trial
Coleman last week was ordered to stand trial on a felony charge that she embezzled more than $1,200 in district funds.

Critic Reviews for Go Fish
All Critics (16) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (13) | Rotten (3)
Go Fish is a blithe and funkily stylish celebration of community -- a twentysomething girl-meets-girl comedy whose charm is in its matter-of-fact disregard for what a straight audience might think.
The most significant lesbian film of the past 20 years, this comedy is refreshingly not about coming out--it challenges prevalent stereotypes about lesbians without the stiff and sanctimonious tone of films like Claire of the Moon.
The writers Rose Troche (who directs) and Guinevere Turner (who plays the lead) switch deftly between sexual polemic, comedy of manners and budding romance.
Rose Troche is credited as the film's director, co- writer, co-producer and editor, and it is in the last category that so far she shows most accomplishment.
The film's limited budget prompted some creative editing and filmmaking techniques.
Audience Reviews for Go Fish
Rose Troche does a great job in directing this film. First of all, we see women though a woman's eye. It's unusual, and it focuses on completely different things, than what men usually pay attention to. Here we have an obsession with faces, eyes and hands- not boobs. Very refreshing from that point of view! Also the black & white photography maximizes the effort to capture all those sexually ambiguous women. The fact that I am only watching this film 15 years after it was made, is a shame. I wish I knew it was out there when I was first questioning myself and my identity. It would have been a tremendous step towards realizing that even freaks of nature (according to the western society's standards) deserve to be happy and can be loved. Love can be found in the weirdest of places. Ely maybe "U.G.L.Y." but she can make Max happy. Max has to give up on the idea of the ideal girlfriend, and explore more tangible options. I loved it, even though it's totally NOT "L word" and girls are not necessarily attractive and worn out in the gym.

Well the first blog!
My intention with this blog is to let you in "behind the scenes". Sure I may list a variety of things as my influences (which they really are!!), but what shape do these take on a regular basis? What face does nature take, books I'm reading, courses I am taking at any given moment; or just the everyday. Or what does the bench of a working goldsmith look like…. Hum, maybe that shouldn't be shown! You'll see the disarray.
I also would like to use this blog to bring other amazing artists to your attention, and on occasion bring some issues to the table that I think are of interest. I won't hit you over the head with them though!
All the best,

In a battle of top 10 state-ranked teams, the once-beaten No. 4 Lamar Lady Savages and the No. 7 and once beaten Colorado Springs Christian went to war in a crucial Tri-Peak League showdown on Friday, Jan. 27 at the Lamar Community Building.
Before a good crowd, the contest definitely lived up to its billing and was nip-and-tuck.
When the final buzzer sounded, the Lady Savages were all smiles as they celebrated a hard fought, 43-37, victory.
The Lady Savages had a number of players step up on the night in posting a signature win they definitely needed to see where they stand in a tough TPL league.
With the win, Lamar moved to 5-1 in league play and 12-1 overall. CSC dropped to 6-1 and 12-2. The loss also ended a six-game winning streak for the Lady Lions.
"I'm really proud of our kids," praised Lamar head coach Erik Melgoza after the game. "We just beat a heck of a team and came out ready to play. It was a total team effort and everyone stepped up as some point in the game. This win means a lot but we know that there's still a lot of basketball left to play."
Since 2006, Lamar had only beaten CSC once over the last previous eight games. The Lady Lions won six straight before the Lady Savages ended the streak with a 29-12 in 2015.
Lamar lost to Manitou Springs twice last season (39-33 on 3-5-2016) and (40-37 on 1-8-20016).
Cali Clark had a superb game for Lamar as the 6-2 freshman forward scored 11 of her team-high 15 points in the second half including seven points in the fourth quarter.
Senior forward Emily Ramsay also stepped up with her best game of the season as she tallied 10 points including a pair of huge free throws in the final minute of the game.
After the first quarter, Lamar was clinging to a 10-9 lead.
Neither team gained much ground as both scored an identical 13 points apiece as the Lady Savages took a 23-22 lead into halftime.
In the second quarter, the score was tied three times and the lead exchanged hands three times.
CSC took a 12-10 lead on a three-pointer by Katie Hildenbrand to open the quarter before a basket by Ramsay tied it at 12-12 with 6:33 showing.
One of CSC's top players, Megan Essenger (the daughter of head coach Essenger) then went to work for the Lady Lions.
The 5-9 sophomore, who averaged 17 points a game, carried her team on her shoulders as she scored all 10 points the remainder of quarter.
A basket by Essenger gave the Lady Lions a 14-12 lead before Ramsay answered with another basket inside to knot the score at 14-14.
Lamar regained a 16-14 lead after a basket by Clark with 4:24 showing before Essenger scored to make it 16-16. She then followed with a free three to give the Lady Lions a 17-16 lead.
With 3:05 remaining, Shelby Henderson hit a key shot in the paint as the Lady Savages went on top 18-17.
Essenger later scored on an offensive rebound as the Lions went back up front 19-18.
Lamar senior guard Brenna Vallejos then came through with a pair of clutch back-to-back baskets to put her team ahead 23-19 with 1:25 left in the quarter.
The Lady Lions got another basket from Essenger to make it 23-21.
With 38 seconds to go, Essenger missed a three-point attempt but was fouled on the play. She headed to the free throw line to shoot three free throws, but could only make the second of her three attempts.
In the second half, the third quarter proved to be a defensive battle as the teams had to work hard for every point.
CSC outscored Lamar, 8-5, to take a 30-28 lead at the end of the quarter.
Lamar was huge in the fourth quarter as they outscored CSC, 15-7, to punch out the victory.
Despite being in foul trouble, Clark was not denied as she tossed in seven points in the quarter before she fouled out with 38 seconds left. Payne added four points and Vallejos and Ramsay both had two points.
At the start of the fourth quarter, Clark picked up her third foul.
A minute later, Clark connected on a three-pointer to give Lamar a 31-30 lead as the home town crowd went wild.
With 4:55, Payne scored under the basket on a nice assists from Clark for a 33-30 lead.
CSC tied the game at 33-33 after a three-pointer by Rachel Ingram with 4:29 left to play.
From there, the tide started to turn in favor of Lamar.
Clark picked up her fourth foul on an offensive rebound but played through it.
With 3:16 on the clock, the freshman standout scored on an offensive rebound to break the tie at 35-33. It proved to be a lead the Lady Savages never surrendered.
Clark then went out of game when CSC called for a time out.
With the Lady Lions putting the ball in play, Vallejos came up with a big steal and drove down the court to score on a layup to make it 37-33 and was also fouled in the process.
Meanwhile, Clark re-entered the game and would score on another key basket.
Vallejos couldn't convert the three-point play, but Clark was there to grab the rebound and put it back up to give the Lady Savages a six-point lead, 39-33, with 2:22 left.
CSC scored on a steal and layup to make it 39-35 with 1:26 on the clock.
Lamar would counter with four unanswered points on a basket by Payne and two clutch free throws by Ramsay for a 43-35 lead to seal the victory.
Lamar team captains Brenna Vallejos, Baillie Kee, and Brecken Payne all agreed that the team came ready to play and beating CSC was the kind of win they needed to build more confidence.
"This win feels great because they're a good team," said Vallejos. "We really had some good practices this week to prepare. Everyone brought their game tonight and we just played as a team."
"It was a pretty emotional game," Kee said. "We played our hearts out and we showed what we can do. I think we proved how good we are and showed what we can do. Everyone just stepped up tonight."
"It was a great team effort tonight and no one gives up," echoed Payne. "I think most teams overlook us but we are here to play. We've been working hard in practice and we want to prove that we are a good team to the whole community of Lamar. This was a big win for us and we're taking it one step at time."
In the boy's game, the Savages took on the No. 4 state-ranked team in the state in the CSC Lions, the defending 3A state champions.
Lamar stayed with CSC in the first half before the Lions broke it open in the third quarter to roll to a 54-29 win.
The Savages trailed by only 21-15 at halftime, but found it tough to score throughout the game against the taller Lions.
In the third quarter, CSC (6-0; 12-2) erupted to outscore Lamar, 21-5, that put the game out of reach.
Sophomore forward Austin Sneller and junior forward Brock Murphy each scored 7 points for the Savages (1-4 in the TPL and 5-7).
The Savages will have their hands full again when they travel to play the No. 2 ranked Manitou Springs Mustangs (4-1 and 12-1).

Joel Edgerton cast in Black Mass. The casting of Joel Edgerton in Black Mass (2014) answers the question of will co-star in the Barry Levinson directed film. Joel Edgerton will play the role of John Connolly. Edgerton will be joined in the film by Johnny Depp.
On Joel Edgerton and Johnny Depp's roles in Black Mass and the film's plot synopsis:
Whitey Bulger [Johnny Depp] rose to the top of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List when he disappeared for a decade before he could be put behind bars. Many felt he could never have gotten that far without the help of John Connolly, an FBI agent and childhood pal of Bulger and his brother. Connolly was tasked with bringing down the Italian mob, and he was aided by Bulger, who burnished his own position as Boston crime kingpin by getting rid of the competition for his Winter Hill gang. Edgerton will play Connolly, who was lauded for his work before things went south for him. He was eventually convicted of racketeering and obstruction of justice for aiding Bulger, who is currently in a Massachusetts state prison for second-degree murder. Edgerton gets a meaty role in a story about a law enforcement officer with conflicted loyalties.
Bulger was captured in California in summer 2011, after he spent a decade on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list.
[Black Mass is a] highly complex story, [it] paints a vivid portrait of Boston's underbelly and its corrupt political machine, as well as exposing the worst scandal in FBI history. It's also an examination of loyalty to family, Irish heritage, and South Boston.
On the title of the film and the writing of it's script:
The film's title comes from the 2001 Dick Lehr/Gerald O'Neill New York Times bestseller Black Mass: The True Story Of An Unholy Alliance Between The FBI And The Irish Mob. The script was written by Mark Mallouk
On the people being-the-scenes of Black Mass:
The picture is a co-production between Cross Creek and Nigel Sinclair and Guy East's Exclusive Media, with the two entities co-financing and Universal Pictures releasing in the U.S. through Cross Creek's distribution deal with the studio.
The film will be produced by Cross Creek's Brian Oliver and Tyler Thompson, John Lesher, and Christi Dembrowski, Depp's partner in Infinitum Nihil. Exclusive Media's Tobin Armbrust, President Worldwide Production and Acquisitions and Cross Creek Pictures Sr. VP of Production Adam Kassan, will oversee production. Alex Walton, Exclusive Media's President of International Sales and Distribution, will introduce Black Mass to overseas buyers at the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin.

Almost? They've been in the bag for years now.
MSNBC has long been as bad as Fox News when it comes to ideological bias. But with the hiring of longtime Team Obama loyalists David Axelrod and Robert Gibbs, it's official: MSNBC is worse.
The cable channel that flies under the banner of NBC News is now all but a bona fide organ of state propaganda, an information channel that speaks in the same dominant voice as the folks running the government–and tries to mask what it is up to.
I didn't plan on getting all free-press-and-democracy amped up about the hirings until I saw Axelrod with Andrea Mitchell last week in his first appearance on MSNBC. It was Echo Chamber Politics 101 with Axelrod characterizing some Republicans in Congress as irrationally wanting the draconian cuts of the sequester –as "dangerous" as that thinking is.
Mitchell starts out a remote interview with Axelrod, who was in Chicago, by asking about the sequester set to take effect Friday.
"Remember," he says, "the cuts put into place were so odious it was thought no rational legislator, no rational government official, would allow it to happen."
Of course as we all know the sequester was Obama's idea, but why would anyone expect this propagandist to mention that?
As Mitchell starts to pivot to another issue with a new question, Axelrod interrupts her with, "One more thing, Andrea. There is a belief among some Republicans in Congress that maybe this sequester's all right. Maybe this is another way of shrinking government in a dramatic way. That's a dangerous idea, but it's not uncommon in some quarters on Capitol Hill."
"No doubt," Mitchell says, placing a cherry atop this propaganda sundae.
Rhetorical Criticism 101: Republican members of Congress are not rational, they have "dangerous" thoughts and they do "odious" things to the American people.
Shouldn't we instead be hearing how dangerous Obama is considering the sequester is his baby?

Skip to comments.Summer of our discontent: Why is America so angry?
Posted on 08/29/2009 6:43:41 AM PDT by BGHater
At the dawn of the Barack Obama era, the promise of hope has faded. America's public square is an angry and bitter place.
Finger pointing and yelling at town hall meetings this summer are signs of a country that's been building toward a boiling point for several years, stressed by a fast changing economy, a flood of immigration and threats at home by terrorists.
It's a land at turns frustrated and irate at a government that led them into an unpopular war, proved itself inept at helping its citizens in a disastrous hurricane, presided over an historic economic collapse, then went on a spending spree that could commit their country to decades of crushing debt.
Untold numbers of Americans seethe with anger at Obama and his fellow Democrats, resentment coupled with fear even more intense than the rage other Americans expressed just a year ago at George W. Bush and the Republicans. One telling sign: The comparisons of the president to Hitler remain the same only the face has changed from Bush to Obama.
"It's ugly," said independent pollster John Zogby. "Ugly and sad because there were many of us who felt the ugliness could be transcended this time."
Americans throughout their history have been prone to periods of anger and suspicion against one another, particularly in times of change and stress. The anti-Catholic Know-Nothings of the 1850s, the rise of the Klan in the 1870s, the Palmer Raids against leftist radicals and immigrants in the 1920s, McCarthyism in the 1950s.
This anger is more focused on the federal government, a resurgence of the hostility toward the government that started with Vietnam in the 1960s and Watergate in the 1970s, faded in the 1980s, resurfaced in the early 1990s and then faded away again.
(Excerpt) Read more at mcclatchydc.com ...
"It's ugly," said independent pollster John Zogby. "Ugly and sad because there were many of us who felt the ugliness could be transcended this time."
Maybe if the Kenyan wasn't conducting a communist coup?
This from the cheerleaders of the 0, who in 1 year has created a large deficit then ALL of the "Bush deficits" combined.
Spare us the hysteric hypocrisy and hyper rabid partisan ignorance McClatchy
The Farce is strong with him...
The reporter mentions Watergate but nothing on Carter and Iran. Mentions how things faded in the '80's, but doesn't mention Reagan for making things right.
Translation from Leftist propagandist speech:
"It's all Bush's fault" Article# 800009021564831164947133
Of course, no article is perfect.
So zogby thought the ugliness would be transcended with the election of this communist, lying usurper who happens to be black?
Many naive people thought so, too. For an excellent column on why that was an unrealistic idea, here is Thomas Sowell's take on it:
And again, John Zogby proves his "independent pollster" label is in question.
I suspect that most people have not yet worked up the gestalt but the gut is telling them that the administration is getting too extreme for their liking.
What's ugly & sad is that millions of fools voted this POS into office b/c they were TOLD he would usher in a glorious New Day. The fact that is was an out & out lie isn't sad OR ugly... simply historical fact.
That has a nice ring to it. Permission to use in lieu of BHO.
Go for it...
[The reason people were wary of Dr. Emanuel in the first place is because of his writings from the 1990s in which (to quote one of them), he advocated giving younger people first dibs on medical care: Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination; every person lives through different life stages rather than being a single age. Even if 25-year-olds receive priority over 65-year-olds, everyone who is 65 years now was previously 25 years. In late 1996, he wrote that services provided to individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens are not basic and should not be guaranteed.]
Just as it was "transcended" when George Bush asked for unity in the face of the 9/11 horror?
Why is it that non-partisanship is only supposed to be shown by conservatives, but never by libs?
I am mad because this President and Congress are destroying the fiscal viability of my country. Is that a good enough reason? Methinks so.
Who is this employee of the newspaper?
The anger against the Establishment in the 1960s and 70s was the doings of the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble.
Now they and their ideological issue (children) are Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) leaders and stalwarts. Arguably they are "the Establishment."
(That ain't name calling. The Sixties Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble really have taken over the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party. Under the hail of "neo-con" taunts many Democrats fled the Party.)
Today it's not anger it's RESCUE.
I guess the newspaper employee is one of the Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble or one of their ideological children.
Sure, and I'm Martha Stuart.

Sugar & Saturated Fats on the Brain, Calcium & Heart Attacks, Longer Lives for Diabetics
admin - May 25, 2012
Friday Roundup:
Sugar & Saturated Fats – Not Friends to Brain Function & Memory
Two recent articles on the Food Navigator website are continuing an interesting trend in reporting about the detrimental effects of saturated fats and sugars – veritable foundations of the fast food industry – and their detrimental effects on cognitive brain function and memory. Both articles tout the apparent fact that certain beloved substances simply are not good – either for the human heart or for the human brain. In the article on saturated fats and brain function, a research team studied data from more than 6,000 women, finding "that women over 65 who consumed the highest levels of saturated fats had worse overall cognitive function than those who consumed the least." In the article on the detrimental effects of sugar in the body and the positive effects of omega-3 oils instead, "The study….suggests that a diet consistently high in fructose "slows" the brain and hinders memory and learning. However, the study also finds that consumption of omega-3 fatty acids can counteract the effect."
That's good news to know for those who have determined to take charge of their health and watch what they eat. Knowledge is indeed power when it comes to healthy living.
You can read the full articles on sugar and fat consumption and their negative influence on brain function by visiting these website pages: http://www.foodnavigator.com/Science-Nutrition/Sat-fats-hamper-brain-function-and-memory-study/?c=I4yCUtO7kH%252B2AHZkvKIizA%253D%253D&utm_source=Newsletter_Subject&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Newsletter%252BSubject
Calcium Supplements May Raise Heart Attack Risks
For those women (and men) who are concerned about osteoporosis and have begun a regimen of taking calcium supplements to help maintain or increase their bone density, this Swiss study may not be what you really want to hear. According to the Swiss researchers, calcium supplements may contribute to a greater risk of heart attack, although the cause and effect nature of the connection seems hard to explain currently, and the dietary supplement industry is taking issue with the findings.
According to the WebMD article released this Wednesday, "'The increase [in risk] is, I would say, moderate,' says Sabine Rohrmann, PhD, assistant professor of chronic disease epidemiology at the University of Zurich.
Rohrmann and her team followed nearly 24,000 men and women for 11 years. Those who took calcium supplements had an 86% increased risk of heart attack compared to those who used no supplements. However, the actual number of heart attacks during the follow-up period was small, with 354 recorded. The researchers found a link, or association, between calcium supplements and heart attack, but the study cannot show cause and effect."
While this subject will clearly be receiving more attention in the future, Life Line Screening encourages everyone who begins a major supplementation regimen to consult with their doctor first, particularly if taking prescription medicine for some other condition. Life Line Screening also offers osteoporosis screenings across the United States to help men and women understand the state of their skeletal framework.

Death Rate Dropping for People with Diabetes
Great news was reported this week on the pages of WebMD.com – "from 1996 to 2006 the risk of dying from heart disease and stroke decreased by 40% among people with diabetes." In other words, people with diabetes are living longer lives. Since individuals afflicted with diabetes do tend to die earlier in life compared to those without the malady, heart-healthy habits such as exercise and diet control as well as better control of blood sugar levels are being credited with the large improvement in life expectancy and disease control.
"'This is good news,' says researcher Edward W. Gregg, PhD," in the WebMD article. "He's the acting director of the division for heart disease and stroke prevention at the CDC in Atlanta. 'We are seeing a reduction in death rates in people with diabetes, and this is largely due to prevention efforts. This should be a source of empowerment and motivation for people with diabetes. People can cut their risk of developing cardiovascular disease in half if they are able to manage their risk factors.'"
At Life Line Screening, we're committed to helping men and women with proactive health screenings in order to find developing illnesses earlier in their history, thus increasing their chances of battling the disease or at least mitigating its severity. Type 2 diabetes screenings are one of our core service offerings.

Despite the ongoing proliferation of visual elements throughout the media, the use of multimedia in PR remains a mixed bag, according to an exclusive survey by PR News and PR Newswire.
Consider, for example, the use of multimedia elements such as video, infographics or contests in press releases. According to the survey, 30% of the respondents said they "sometimes" use multimedia elements/rich media in their press releases while 26% of the respondents "rarely" use such elements in their press release. About 8% of the respondents said they "always" use visual elements in their press releases.
The online survey, which was conducted this summer, generated a total of 452 responses. Respondents included C-suite executives, senior-level managers from both the corporate and agency PR levels.
While the use of multimedia trends in press releases leaves a lot to be desired, the use of video in PR messaging is downright anemic.
Asked how frequently video is used in PR messaging and platforms, 79% of the respondents said it was "underutilized" and would like to do more, while 2% said the volume may be too high. A little more than 16% of respondents said their use of video in PR messaging was "well-balanced" (see below).
Kevin West, senior VP of multimedia at MultiVu, a PR Newswire company, told PR News that many marketing communications "budgets are still locked up in traditional methods of communicating and traditional content creation."
But that may be changing, and quickly.
In planning for next year, 76% of the respondents said that they anticipate using some form of visual storytelling and just 1% said they plan to decrease such storytelling.
With those stats in mind, here are some samples of multimedia news releases, compliments of PR Newswire.

Huskies' Errors, PSU's Strength Ends UW's Season
An uncharacteristically off night of unforced errors, errant passing and porous blocks ends third-seeded Washington's magical season. UW loses in three sets to No.-2 seed Penn State before 14,975 roaring fans at KeyArena, the sixth-largest crowd in NCAA volleyball history.
By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE – About 20 minutes after it ended, the Pac-12 champions' 33-match march to winning a national championship, and its backyard, Huskies seniors Kylin Muñoz and Jenna Orlandini emerged with junior Krista Vansant from the locker room.
All three were in tears. Vansant dropped her head onto the right shoulder of Muñoz, whom these Dawgs all know as the "team mom."
Then, the three leaders of UW volleyball turned, lifted their heads and proudly strode 50 yards down the hallway into a press conference to show their character remains unbeaten.
"We just worked so hard for this all year for this," Vansant, the soaring All-American and Pac-12 player of the year said through sobs after Penn State had grounded her and Washington Thursday night. "It's just so sad not to put our best foot forward.
"I thought I could have played so much better tonight."
She wasn't alone. This was the wrong opponent and absolutely wrong stage for a completely off night.
Third-seeded UW had a rockin' KeyArena crowd poised for a SuperSonics-like eruption. But it, like the Huskies' normally brilliant play, never came. Many uncharacteristic errors and a dominant performance by second-seeded Penn State ended the Huskies' magical season in the national semifinals with a 14-25, 13-25, 16-25 loss.
Penn State will take on fellow Big Ten foe Wisconsin for the title on Saturday night at 6:30 p.m., after the Badgers upset defending champ and top-seed Texas in four sets in the evening's opener.
It was Washington's worst night against the best foe it's faced this season.
Bad combination.
"It's tough. It stinks," coach Jim McLaughlin said after the abrupt -- aren't they all? -- exit from his fourth Final Four in 13 seasons leading the Huskies. "The amount of time these players put in, the investment, it's so high that the pain can be deep.
"And we're feeling it right now."
This city rose for this first NCAA Final Four in Seattle, with 14,975 standing, screaming and trying everything to spark the team from five miles up the freeway. It was the sixth-largest crowd ever for an NCAA volleyball match.
But the Huskies' usually mammoth game never showed up.
"We just didn't deliver. We weren't ourselves," Muñoz said, wiping her eyes with her hands. "That's the most disappointing thing. They are a very, very good team. But we weren't ourselves."
Kaleigh Nelson had eight kills for the Huskies (30-3). Vansant had seven. Muñoz had five kills in her final college match. At .500, she was the only Husky to hit higher than .333.
Vansant hit just .179 and Nelson .107, part of Washington's sagging, season-low team hitting percentage of .117. The Huskies also had just three points off blocks, two fewer than its previous season low.
"We didn't respond well to adversity," said Orlandini, the libero who had six digs to finish her UW career with 1,974, 12th-most in Pac-12 history. "Got to give credit where credit is due. But we could have put more pressure on."
Penn State (33-2) hit a whopping .488, by far the best by a UW opponent this season, while winning for a national-best 24th consecutive time. The Nittany Lions advance to the national-championship match Saturday at 6:30 p.m. back at KeyArena against 12th-seeded Wisconsin. The Badgers upset top-seeded Texas in Thursday evening's first semifinal.
The huge crowd was waiting – begging – to erupt for the home team through the first two sets. But Washington couldn't get out of its own way for much of that span. The Huskies hit just .152 with zero block points in the first set, losing 25-14. They hit even worse in set two – a crushing .033 – and lost 25-13.
Those were the two largest margins of defeat in any sets this season for the Huskies.
UW came out for the third set after the break to huge roars from the anxious home crowd, which included new Huskies football coach Chris Petersen. And they played much better, stringing together points for the first time since they led 10-6 in the first set. But they just could not sustain rallies.
"It was a nightmare," McLaughlin said. "It was not fun in any way, shape or form.
"But that's part of the deal. ... Only one team at the end doesn't go through this. So you kind of sign up for it a little bit."
Washington didn't sign up for the punishment delivered by Penn State's Micha Hancock. The All-American was dominant on her serves, twice sending the Nittany Lions off on seven-point runs. The left-hander sent rockets low over the net that broke sharply late, like a left-handed pitcher with a 95-mph slider. Hancock had three aces in the first two sets, and it seemed like every other point to Penn State came off her serves. Hancock's serves turned that 10-6 UW lead in the first set into Penn State winning 17 of the final 19 points of the set.
"It's just a different angle," Orlandini said of Hancock's cutting jump serve, after she faced most of those lasers from the back row.
The Huskies were denied their second national championship in eight years. They finished set wins short of fulfilling the goal Vansant and her teammates set among themselves 11 months ago: Winning it all, and in their backyard.
UW had made exactly zero Final Fours in 27 volleyball seasons before McLaughlin arrived in 2001 from Kansas State.
"I'm proud of what these players accomplished," McLaughlin said. "I told them that I love 'em.
"I looked at the pain on their faces. It's very deep. But it's good because they put so much time in, and I love them."
Penn State's suffocating blocks and diving digs ensured Vansant could not come close to her Herculean, 38-kill, 30-dig night Saturday in UW's rally from two sets down to beat USC.
Penn State has won four of the last six NCAA championships. The way the Lions played Thursday night, their fifth and seven years looks imminent.
"They play like that, they are going to win this thing," McLaughlin said.
And they walked out of the press conference and into the rest of their lives -- graduation, then potentially professional careers -- seniors Muñoz and Orlandini still had tears.
They also still had their heads held as high as their pride, showing impressive character through the very end of their impressive UW careers.
These seniors plus classmates Jenni Nogueras (14 assists in her finale) and Gabbi Parker (a reserve who faced her playing, struggling teammates sitting on the bench during a timeout in the third set and shouted, "We are ALL behind you right now!") went to one NCAA Sweet 16, one Elite Eight and this Final Four. This season they won just the third conference title in program history, with the second-most victories in any UW volleyball season in the NCAA era -- behind only the 2005 national champions.
"We were talking about that in the locker room. We set goals for ourselves, and we succeeded," Orlandini said. "Not losing at home, we accomplished that. Winning the Pac-12 title, and we did that ...
"Sorry," she said, unnecessarily, as she stopped to cry.
"Just going out with no regrets. And up until this last game, we showed that. Hey, we just didn't respond (Thursday) like we normally do in those situations. ... At the same time, looking back on it we did accomplish a lot."
The Huskies know that since UW won it all in 2005, each subsequent team will ultimately be judged against the program's standard of becoming a national champion.
"Our goal ultimately was to win the national championship," Orlandini said.
"At the same time, this was a step in the right direction. Hopefully there is something there that we can leave for last year's team."
As their character and pride following Thursday's finale exemplified, Orlandini and her senior classmates are leaving way more than that.

|Some fidelity commit log history lost in snapshot merge. :(
|Thu, 21 Feb 2013 04:19:13 GMT
The good news is that the snapshot merge worked -- all code in the hbase-7290v2 branch is now committed in trunk. The odd news is that the github view of the updated repo seems to be missing some info in the commit log. While all the code got merged in, the individual commits logs after 2/13/13 did not and essentially got merged into the final merge commit (looking at the git blame, all the subsequent fixes are attributed to the HBASE-7290/HBASE-6055 merge commit). This corresponds with where I created an svn-copy of the original hbase-7290 svn branch called hbase-7290v2. (I ran into some problems in the hbase-7290 svn branch and couldn't revert properly or do the equivalent of a force push. Instead I created an svn-copy from the last good point in the hbase-7290 branch). My guess is that some combination of the extra svn copy and the "svn merge --reintegrate" voodoo lost this information. Here's a summary of the commits and authors that didn't make it into the commit history during the merge. HBASE-7889 ADDENDUM (convert @code to simplified @links) (jmhsieh) HBASE-7889 Fix javadoc warnings in snapshot classes, part 2 (Ted Yu) HBASE-7864 Rename HMaster#listSnapshots as getCompletedSnapshots() (Ted Yu) HBASE-7858 cleanup before merging snapshots branch to trunk (Ted Yu) HBASE-7779 [snapshot 130201 merge] Fix TestMultiParallel (Ted Yu) HBASE-7796 [snapshot 130201 merge] Fix TestSnapshotFromClient and TestFlushSnapshotFromClient (Ted Yu) HBASE-7764 [snapshot 130201 merge] Fix TestSnapshotCloneIndependence failure (Ted Yu) HBASE-7795 Race in the Restore Archiving (Matteo Bertozzi) HBASE-7752 [snapshot 130201 merge] Fix TestStoreFile failure (jmhsieh) HBASE-7778 [snapshot 130201 merge] Tests with sleep after minicluster shutdown fail due to interrupt flag.

Watch Dr. Sylvia answer Curtis from Facebook's question about long distance relationships - click here.
Curtis from Facebook writes in:
"My girlfriend and I just went long distance after being together for a year. Our relationship is strong, [and] we are best friends as well as a couple. She left 2 days ago and I can't see her again until Christmas time. Any advice on how to make it work?"
Well Curtis – first, congratulations on finding such a wonderful partner and I sincerely hope that things work out for both of you. Here are some a few tips to keep in mind:
Built On Friendship
Many people forget that a deep and abiding friendship is one of the cornerstones to love. Romance thrives when you genuinely enjoy your partner and have fun when you interact either on the phone or face-to-face. Consider this to be one of your most important strategies to survive and even thrive during the physical separation. There are a million ways to keep your friendship alive when you are away from one another by playing through words and activities. Playing games together online like "Words With Friends," video chatting through Skype, posting on each others' Facebook walls, or sharing pictures on Instagram or Tumblr are all great ways to stay connected.
Building Trust
Most people don't realize that trust is built one interaction at a time. We reinforce trust through staying faithful to one another, but we also show our trustworthiness when we interact with sincere and total focus. Whenever you interact with her, be emotionally present and give her all of your attention. Women find undiluted focus intoxicating. Also, make sure you remain committed to timely answers to texts, emails, or any social media interaction. Even if you're just explaining that you're busy right now, she'll appreciate your attentiveness and care.
Radical Acceptance
Being away from the one you love can be difficult, particularly for long stretches of time. If you find that your stress or anxiety is growing, use a distress tolerance technique called "radical acceptance." Dr. Marsha Linehan, the inventor of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, invented this technique. Radical acceptance asks you to separate what you can control and what you cannot control. Focusing your attention and efforts on what you can control will calm you down and makes you more confident. Remember that radical acceptance does not ask you to enjoy what is happening. It simply asks you to focus on controllable factors and let go of what is out of your control. Once you can do this, you can focus on what you can do to keep your relationship vibrant and healthy.
Express Yourself Verbally
While actions are very important, there is no substitute for the power of words, particularly for women. Send a poem that you wrote or borrowed from a famous poet that tells her how much you love her or that you were simply thinking of her. Send a loving phase along with a favorite picture of both of you or even a Pinterest board to plan your next vacation. And most important of all, when you talk to her, tell her that you love her and you miss her.
The Work of Dr. John Gottman

I had some unexpected difficulties getting to this show. From tech issues with my phone and then my cab driver taking a "short-cut" to get me there faster which actually meant taking longer….ugh! And then once I made it…the camera battery died after 10 mins. I always carry a back-up battery, damn little purse!! Couldn't even fit my wallet in it. Sometimes things just don't go your way. All good. Enough of my ranting. So! Love Brigade, is the design force of Alyssa Key, Jamie Rockaway, and Tinypants. In 2005, Love Brigade was started with the idea of creating a brand of "musically-charged" fashion. Every season they create a formula of one part trend + one part music inspiration to equal a unique collection. View the Spring 09 Look Book Video:
Their Spring 09 collection, entitled "Viva La Future" brought us a "future" look at fashion. There was no typical runway show. Instead 6 staged areas of models "preforming". View picts and video from the event after the jump!

Hair Removal by Buffing
The technique of buffing away body hair has indeterminate origins, although this rather unorthodox method of hair removal was definitely popular in World War II when razors were rationed and women resorted to "sandpapering" their legs. Today, women still have the option of picking up strips of fine sandpaper at their local hardware stores, or they may even use a pumice stone. Consumer products such as the Smooth Away use dark pads with the texture of very fine, malleable sandpaper attached to a plastic mitt. Andrea James of the consumer website HairFacts.com states that hair removal by buffing may be good for those with fine leg hair or to clean up errant follicles in between waxing sessions. Buffing is also inexpensive and relatively quick, and can be done in the privacy of your own home.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Start with skin that's clean and dry -- don't put any lotion or cream on your legs or the body part to be buffed. Make sure that body hair is no longer than 1/4 inch in length.
Step 2
Apply a clean, dry mitt, pumice stone or sandpaper to the skin using one hand. With the other hand, pull the skin taut.
Step 3
Briskly but gently buff the skin using small, circular motions -- don't use up-and-down strokes. Start by going clockwise for a few rotations, then reverse the motion for another few rotations. Continue to buff the skin in this manner until hair is removed. Then move on to the next portion of hair.
Step 4
After you're through, rub lotion into your skin. As you work, you'll notice that your skin may turn white as your "buffer" exfoliates the top layer of skin cells. Moisturizing reduces the appearance of white skin and soothes your skin.

As a Catholic I found the Pope's visit to the UK very inspirational. I went to see the Pope in both Birmingham and London. The Pope walked right by me at the gathering in Cofton Park, Birmingham. I found this very moving and felt very lucky to be blessed by such a spiritual man.
When I was outside Westminster Cathedral I felt that it was just as special an event. A special moment was when, at the sign of peace during mass the police officers, who may be religious or not were shaking hands with the crowd.
Hopefully they had a feel for the event and may have positively questioned themselves about their beliefs or lack of. Both days were very special and strengthened my faith after now seeing two Popes. - Year 11 Student

At Thomas Becket Catholic School we believe that a willingness to learn and the personal development of every individual is rooted in their spiritual journey. We are a community where everyone is invited and challenged to grow in faith, with prayer as our foundation.
