Posted by: Pilly Tuesday, 15 January 2013 11:27 AM[UAE] - AustraliaWell, you've really gone out of your way to select pictures to put protestors in a bad light. The head coverings are for protection from tear gas. The molotovs are to give people time to run away from police so they are not shot. Why don't we ever see any of the thousands of pictures of police beating protestors? If you're not sure where to find them, go on youtube. Or visit a Bahrain prison to visit the photographers and journalists who have been arrested for trying to report police abuse.

Whirlpool side-by-side cooling
Model Number: ED2GVEXVD01 Brand: Whirlpool Age: 1 - 5 years
I have a whirlpool that is about 15 months old and just stopped cooling (freezer and fridge). I dug through some old posts - and came across a couple that suggested to check the starter device - which I did immediately. However I didn't hear any rattling when shaking, so is it right to assume it is fine? I reconnected everything and didn't hear any "clicking" either and the compressor is running. Everything looks clean under the fridge and the compressor fan seems to be running fine, and there is only cool (not cold) air blowing into both freezer and fridge compartments. I'm not sure what to check next - can someone please help me out? Brand: Whirlpool Model: ED2GVEXVD01 Thanks in advance, Larry Related Models |

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for Whirlpool ED2GVEXVD01 REFRIGERATOR | AppliancePartsPros.com Since the compressor is running, it should be cooing. From your post it sounds like you are getting some cooling just not enough. Is the evaporator/freezer fan running? It should be as it is required to pull air through the evaporator coils and cool it. Remove the cover from inside the freezer so you can inspect the evaporator coils. If they are heavily iced/frosted over then you have a defrost problem. It could be the heater, the defrost thermostat or the control board. If it has little frost (usually where the freon enters the coils) or no frost then you have a sealed system problem and it will be an expensive repair. Besure the compressor has run continuously for a couple hours. If you do this check shortly after a defrost cycle you will end up with the wrong conclusion.

At this point in my cadet career, I am just over 100 weeks in, with less than 100 weeks to go until I follow in the footsteps of the 2014 graduating ensigns across the stage. I have completed four semesters of class and two years of military training, then hundredth week (the best week of my cadet career by far), and finally received 2/c class shoulder boards. But watching the graduation events on May 21st made those 100 weeks seem so insignificant and also made it clear just how much there is still to learn. I was honored to give first salutes to ensigns and hope to carry on their legacy at the Academy specifically in McAllister and the Rowing Center. My salutes to Ben, Cole, and Dave reminded me of the direct impact they have had on my Academy experience and without a doubt on cadets throughout the corps.
If someone was to ask me, now 48 hours after these firsties became ensigns, if I could describe their graduation and commissioning ceremony I would still struggle to find words. But asked how I feel about the last 100 weeks of my cadet career, the word would be "excited." Excited to finish, yes, but even more excited to have the opportunity to serve alongside the great Class of 2014 for many years to come.

A 2nd grade teacher at Miramonte Elementary in 2009
These graphs show a teacher's "value-added" rating based on his or her students' progress on the California Standards Tests in math and English. The Times' analysis used all valid student scores available for this teacher from the 2002-03 through 2008-09 academic years. The value-added scores reflect a teacher's effectiveness at raising standardized test scores and, as such, capture only one aspect of a teacher's work.
Compared with other Los Angeles Unified teachers on the value-added measure of test score improvement, Berndt ranked:
- Less effective than average overall.
- Less effective than average in math. Students of teachers in this category, on average, lost about 4 percentile points on the California Standards Test compared with other students at their grade level.
- Average in English. Students of teachers in this category, on average, did not gain or lose significantly on the California Standards Test compared with other students at their grade level.

Pacific Rim Bureau (CNSNews.com) - As expected, Wednesday's closed-door meeting of the U.N. Security Council failed to reach agreement on a statement regarding the North Korean nuclear crisis.
Nonetheless, although U.S. officials repeated the administration's desire for a diplomatic solution to the standoff, Wednesday also brought a clear U.S. warning for North Korea and other rogue states seeking non-conventional weapons capability.
Speaking in Rome after talks with Vatican officials, U.S. Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security John Bolton drew the attention of North Korea, Iran and Syria - in particular - to developments in Iraq.
"We are hopeful that a number of regimes will draw the appropriate lesson from Iraq, that a pursuit of weapons of mass destruction is not in their national interests," he said at an embassy press conference.
At the Security Council meeting - held two full months after North Korea's conduct was referred to the body by the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) - little was achieved.
"Members of the Council expressed their concern, and the Council will continue to follow up developments," said Aguilar Zinser, Mexican ambassador to the U.N., whose country holds the presidency of the 15-member body. "There is nothing else to add."
The permanent members are divided over how to tackle North Korea's decision to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and restart frozen nuclear programs.
Pyongyang's allies, China and Russia, did not even want the matter discussed by the Council, let alone any U.N. condemnation - as requested by the U.S. - or other action.
North Korea has been demanding bilateral talks with the U.S.; Washington wants the crisis dealt with multilaterally, with U.N. involvement and - especially - for countries in northeast Asia to persuade North Korea to change course.
Some recent movement suggested six-way talks could take place, bringing the U.S., China, Russia, Japan and North and South Korea together, with a separate U.S.-North Korean meeting on the sidelines.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Wednesday that the likeliest next step should be "to find a format that will be acceptable to both parties and bring them to the table to talk."
After the unsuccessful meeting in New York, John Negroponte, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said it was necessary not only to get North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions, but also to have it "accept a reliable verification regime."
Pyongyang late last year removed IAEA surveillance cameras from a mothballed nuclear facility, kicked out IAEA nuclear monitors and restarted the reactor.
Experts have expected the North Koreans to take further steps to increase pressure on the U.S., including possibly test-firing a long-range ballistic missile or restarting the reprocessing of spent fuel rods to produce weapons-grade plutonium.
Negroponte warned Pyongyang against taking "further escalatory steps."
He also expressed the hope that North Korea would "not reject diplomatic efforts to address its nuclear program."
But the U.S. ambassador said the possibility of action by the Council in the future had not been ruled out.
"We haven't taken any option off the table," he said.

Cynthia Dawn "Cindy" Margolis (born October 1, 1965) is an American glamour model and actress.
Early years
Margolis was born in Los Angeles, California. She started her modeling career on her own. While attending college at California State University, Northridge, she had a project in business class that dealt with greeting cards. She took this idea further and started selling a line of cards with her body dressed in lingerie on them. She even put her phone number on the cards.[2] Her modeling career took off when agents started asking about the woman on the cards. She has modeled in advertising for companies such as Reebok, Vidal Sassoon, Coors, Hanes, and Sunkist. Among late night television viewers, she is best known as an infomercial co-presenter on classic ads (e.g. with Tony Robbins) as well as shady ones (e.g. Don Lapre's "tiny little ads"). Margolis has also appeared briefly as one of Barker's Beauties in 1995 on the game show The Price Is Right. She had a late night Saturday talk show in 2000 called The Cindy Margolis Show, which was filmed in Miami Beach, Florida.
Margolis emerged as a star in her own right in the early days of the Internet. As she had done with greeting cards, she created her own website rather than wait for opportunity to find her. She was named Yahoo! Internet Life magazine's "Queen of the Internet" from 1996-1999. She also found her way into the 2000 Guinness Book of World Records as a result of being the "most downloaded" person in 1999. At the age of 34, the peak of her popularity, she was downloaded 70,000 times in a span of 24 hours. In this time, she never posed topless or nude in appearances on her website or in Playboy. She was deposed as the "most downloaded" woman on December 5, 2000 by the prodigiously endowed Danni Ashe.
In November of 2005 Margolis teamed up with the World Poker Tour to become the new hostess for Chipleaders.
In an April 2006 interview with The Washington Post, Margolis stated that she had recently posed fully nude for the December 2006 issue of Playboy magazine. She has posed for Playboy many times in the past, but never nude. She cited her good looks at age 40 and wanting to be an inspiration to mothers and women her age as the reason she chose to finally pose nude. "It will be fun to go up against the 20-year-olds and show them that they don't have anything on me!" she told the Associated Press. In an interview with EXTRA she said that Desperate Housewives had been an inspiration for her as it showed that mothers her age can also be fit and sexy. Margolis' nude pictorial will be published in the December 2006 issue of Playboy. A portion of the proceeds from issues sold will go to a charity for which Margolis is a spokesperson, Resolve. The charity aims to get fertility treatment better covered by insurance companies. Margolis told Playboy that she had been approached to pose since 18, but felt empowered that Playboy still wanted her as a model at the age of 40.[2] A portion of the sales of her issue went to her charity, the Cindy Margolis Get a Download of This Fertility Fund.[2] She was very proud to have posed, stating: "Me, of all people, the ultimate girl next door, the one who made it by not taking off her clothes. And now my crowning achievement is doing Playboy and being comfortable in my own skin."[2]
In November of 2006 Cindy signed an exclusive poker representation agreement with Tropical Poker. Margolis has become a highly sought-after poker player and will represent Tropical Poker in the press, media interviews, poker events and appearances, as well as at the 2007 World Series of Poker.
Personal life
Margolis was married to restaurateur Guy Starkman from 1998-2009. Following fertility treatment, she gave birth to a son, Nicholas Isaac, in 2002 and twin daughters, Sabrina and Sierra, in 2005 via a surrogate mother.

I have been in contact with Frederick Koh from Whitegroupmaths.com who kindly agreed that he would write a guest post for the blog to promote what he has to offer - Tutoring in A level maths in Singapore. So without further ado let me present you with the real content.I have been asked on numerous occasions by students to provide a short effective mathematical proof verifying the fact that obtaining the vector product of the normals characterising two separate non parallel planes in 3 dimensional Cartesian space produces the direction vector of the line arising from the intersection of the above mentioned planes.

Within the field of mathematics I handle every day linear algebra plays a vital role. Linear algebra is a field of mathematics that studies vectors and vector spaces. On common use of linear algebra is to solve a set of linear equations.The reason why I bring up the topic, is that I rediscovered a video version a MIT course in linear algebra taught by Gilbert Strang. I found the videos when I first studied to my exam in linear algebra.I have embedded the first video for your pleasure, and all the videos are linked in the post.

Filed under Tax Center.
Story Tools
By Marcia Richards Suelzer, MA, JD | November 05, 2012
As the financial world continues to try and grapple with the uncertainty surrounding taxes and fiscal policy, government agencies are releasing only those annually adjusted amounts that are not affected by potential year-end tax legislation. As a result, most retirement plan amounts and Social Security thresholds for 2013 are available, but few income and estate tax rates have been released.
The maximum amount of earnings subject to the Old Age, Survivor and Disability portion of the Social Security taxes will be $113,700 for 2013, up from $110,100 for 2012. The special payroll tax cut for 2012, a two-percent reduction on the employee-share of OASDI, is set to expire at the end of this year. So, for 2013, a 12.4 percent tax is imposed on all earned income up to $113,700.
OASDI is only one of three components of Social Security tax. The other two are the Hospital Insurance (HI or Medicare) and the new Medicare surtax. The HI tax rate rate is 2.9 percent, divided into 1.45 percent employer-share and a 1.45 employee share, for wages earned. Beginning in 2013, a new 0.9 percent Medicare surtax is imposed on earned income above the following thresholds:
There is no maximum limit on wages subject to either of these Medicare taxes.
In 2013, Bob Roberts, an unmarried taxpayer, has $250,000 in earned income. His Social Security tax liability will be $21,798.80, determined as follows:
OASDI tax = $113,700 * 0.124 = $14,098.80
HI tax = $250,000 * 0.029 = $7,250
Medicare surtax = ($250,000 - $200,000) * 0.009 = $450
Many retirement plan contribution and benefit limits will increase in 2013, as a result of statutorily required cost-of-living adjustments to the base amounts. The 2013 cost of living adjustments (COLAs) affect a variety of retirement savings vehicles, including 401(k) plans, IRAs, SEPs and SIMPLE plans.
In addition to the impact of these COLAs, the increase in the Social Security wage base will have an impact on plans that integrate benefit formulas with Social Security.
If you have opted for a 401(k) plan, then you will be able to make a larger contribution in 2012. Your maximum 401(k) contribution for 2013 is $17,500, up from $17,000 for 2012. The amount that can be contributed to a SIMPLE plan in 2013 increases to $12,000, up from $11,500 in 2012.
IRA Increases. The amount that can be contributed to an IRA in 2013 will increase to $5,500, up from $5,000 in 2012. If you earned too much to contribute the full IRA amount in 2012, you may be able to make a larger deduction in 2013 because there was also an upward adjustment to the deduction phase-out range for individuals who are active participants in an employer-provided plan.
If you are single, the IRA deduction amount will start to phase out when your modified adjusted gross income hits $59,000 and phases out completely at $69,000 for single taxpayers who are active participants in an employer-sponsored retirement plan (up from $58,000 and $68,000 for 2012). For married couples filing a joint return, where the spouse making the IRA contribution is an active participant in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, the income phase-out range is $95,000 to $115,000 (up from $92,000 to $112,000 for 2012).
Defined plans. Defined contribution plans, defined benefits plans, and ESOPs are also affected by the cost of living adjustments. The limitation for defined contribution plans (including SEPs) will increase in 2013 to $51,000, up from $50,000. The maximum amount a defined benefit plan can pay a participant per year increases to $205,000 in 2013, up $5,000 from the 2012 payment limit.
The amount for determining the maximum ESOP account subject to a five-year distribution period increases from $1,015,000 for 2012 to $1,035,000 in 2013. In addition, the maximum compensation amounts increase to $255,000 (and $115,000 for "highly compensated" employees.) As a result, the amount that an employee can save under one of these tax-qualified plans will increase.
Catch-up contributions. Eligible individuals who are age 50 or older can contribute an additional amount to IRAs, 401(k)s and SEPs each year. The amounts allowed for these catch-up contributions were not changed for 2013. As a result, the catch-up amount for IRAs remains at $1,000 and the catch-up amount for 401(k)s and SEPs remains at $5,500.
The IRS has issued some of the dozens of cost of living adjustments (COLAs) required for various provisions in the Tax Code for 2013. However, in order to avoid wholesale confusion among taxpayers and tax practitioners alike, the IRS did not release inflation-adjusted amounts for provisions (such at the tax brackets) slated to expire at the end of 2012.
The expiring provisions are among that most important for taxpayers. They include the tax brackets, the phase-outs for personal exemptions and itemized deductions, and the standard deduction. For more information on the impact of these expiring tax provisions, see our series of articles on Taxmageddon: "Forget the Zombie Apocalypse: Taxmageddon Is Far Scarier (and Likelier)," "Individual Tax Planning Tips for Those on the Edge of the Fiscal Cliff," and "Higher Taxes May Await Investors and Businesses in 2013
The IRS has not given any indication regarding when the remainder of the annually adjusted amounts will be released. The following provisions are likely to be of interest to the small business owner.
"Kiddie tax." The amount used to reduce the net earned income reported on a child's return subject to the "kiddie tax" increases to $1,000, up from its 2012 level of $950. The same $1,000 amount is used to determine if a parent can elect to include a child's gross income in the parent's income and to calculate the "kiddie tax." The IRS also announced that the AMT exemption amount for a child subject to the "kiddie tax" is $7,150 for 2013.
The regular AMT exemption amount itself applicable to all individuals, however, must still be resolved by Congress for 2012, as well as for 2013. Without Congressional action, the regular exemption amount will drop substantially.
Gift tax annual exclusion. The gift tax annual exclusion increases to $14,000 for 2013, up from $13,000 for 2012. The exclusion for gifts to a spouse who is not a citizen of the United States increases from $139,000 for 2012 to $143,000 for 2013.
Congress has yet to resolve the extent to which there will be a gift tax in 2013. The lifetime exclusion will drop to $1 million if no Congressional action is taken.
Savings bond education exclusion. The exclusion for taxpayers who pay qualified higher education expenses begins to phase out for modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) above $112,050 (joint filers) and $74,700 for all other returns. The exclusion phases out for taxpayers with MAGI at a level of $142,050 (joint filers) and $89,700 for all other returns.
Long-term medical care premiums. Beginning in 2013, the following amounts paid as premiums for long-term medical care insurance are considered deductible medical care expenses:
Foreign earned income exclusion. The foreign earned income exclusion amount is $97,600 for 2013.

Facts and Events
Daniel Gibson was one of the Early Settlers of Augusta County, Virginia __________________________ [edit] About Daniel GibsonThere are few records of this Daniel Gibson. Through records regarding Daniel's son Daniel, who is listed in his father Alexander Gibson Sr.'s wills written in 1782 and 1794, and his brother, Alexander Gibson, Jr.'s will written in 1804. Daniel probably died prior to the writing of his father, Alexander Gibson, Sr.'s will written in July 1782, but had certainly died prior to the guardianship record of his son, Daniel, Jr., which is dated on 21 January, 1783 (listed below). It is probable that this Daniel Gibson died in the Revoluntionary War, since he was clearly young (somewhere between perhaps 23-33 years old) and in 1783, the war was still raging. Additional research is needed on this Daniel Gibson. [edit] Records of Daniel Gibson in Augusta County, VA

Where's the Love?
First things first. I don't seem to be getting many comments lately and I'm not sure if it's because I'm just not saying anything worth commenting on or not. I'm ok with it if that's the case. But last week Lori at Cachey Mama's posted that she thought a virus had come from my blog. But it's not true. Lori blogged later that it wasn't the case and I'm not blaming her. So I'm just all paranoid now that people are avoiding my blog because of it. With that said, please leave me some comment love. I'm even having a giveaway and there have only been like 7 people enter it. Check it out here. I feel super pathetic for writing this post. So please leave me some love to make me feel better. I'm feeling like the needy girlfriend who just needs to know you care.
Anyway, last week in math we finished up our measurement unit. I found several great ideas on different blogs for creating some measuring activities. We did a round of centers that focused on measuring different way.
1. Measuring Mouse Tails from Love those Kinders. She had a great idea that didn't require a ton of prep work.
2. Measuring volume using cups cubes, and marshmallows. I got the idea and recording sheet from Mrs. Patton. I never did go to Mcdonald's to get some cups but used some I had around the house. They used cubes and then marshmallows to find out how many they would hold.
3. Measuring Weight - I got this recording sheet from Keen on Kindergarten. Check it out. My kids had a ton of fun using candy hearts to weigh different classroom objects. Funny thing, the hearts I bought had messages in Spanish. Didn't even know they made them.
4. Measurement fun with shoes. I got the idea and some of the materials from First Grade Fabulous Fish. Check her post out here. I took her fabulous ideas and made my own recording sheet that worked for my kindergarteners. So get that freebie here.
The kids had a ton of fun with these activities. They worked well together. Even though they didn't all do every activity just right, I think they got a sense of different types of measurement and explored with the manipulatives.
Here are few pictures from our fun:
In other news, I'm having a sale at my Teacher's Notebook store until tomorrow. There are some fun Valentine's day math and literacy activities. So check it out.

We were sent the Brain Fit iPhone and iPod Touch app by Mobirate for a quick review last week. Brain Fit is an addictive little puzzle game app which has been designed to provide endless hours of fun. Released just earlier this month, Brain Fit costs $0.99.
When we were first given the app name "Brain Fit", it immediately came across my mind as a game that was played by getting our "non-thinking", geeky minds thinking once again with timed calculations, complicated maths, as well as recalling shapes and numbers (like that on the Nintendo DS). I was certainly wrong there.
Readers here at GadgetLite who are keen gamers of games like WoW will definitely have heard of the Wolfking Warrior game pad keyboard a simple, easy to use device ideal for first-person-shooter (FPS) games and possibly any game you can imagine that suits it style. The aim of the unique design is essentially to help enhance his or her gameplay experience. But the Wolfking Warrior is now old, because there is now a new one out called the Warrior XXTREME gamepad (you could take a look at the Wolfking Warrior review first though, at TechRepublic).
Compared to the old Warrior (red), the Warrior XXTREME is twice the bulkier (black) with an ergonomic design:
As you will see in the videos after the jump, it's not the best keyboard if you're not a serious gamer and want to use it for other purposes such as emailing, messaging, document processing. Plenty of shortcut keys which should be useful for online gaming. The back light I think has been really well thought out, it should prove to be welcomed for those who game late into the night (and morning!) while everyone else is already asleep.

Saudi Arabia- Two women human rights defenders sentenced to 10 months in prison and a two year travel ban
On 15 June 2013 the District Court in Al-Khobar sentenced two human rights defenders, Wajeha Al-Huwaider, and Fawzia Al-Oyouni to ten months in prison, following a trial that lasted a year. The presiding judge Fahad Al-Gda'a also imposed a two year travel ban on both human rights defenders to take effect after the completion of the ten month sentence.
The judge sentenced the two women on charges of trying to sabotage the marital relationship between a Canadian wife and her Saudi husband, resident in Dammam, and abetting her to escape. He acquitted the women of the other charges of attempting to smuggle the wife and her three children to the Canadian Embassy in Riyadh.
On 7 June 2011, the two human rights defenders received a text message saying that the Canadian wife and her three children were being subjected to violence and that her husband had locked them in the house. The text message also said that the children were starving of hunger. The two human rights defenders brought some food to the house and discovered that the husband had trapped them after he seized the mobile handset from which his wife had sent the text message. When the police arrived they arrested Al-Huwaider and Al-Oyouni on charges of trying to smuggle the wife and her three children.
Al-Huwaider and Al-Oyouni declared in a statement issued on the same day, 15 June 2013: "It was clear to us from the very beginning when we were summoned to the investigation by the prosecutor in Dammam that the issue was malicious and those who moved this case against us from the concerned authorities wanted to harm and harass us, and stop our humanitarian activities, because that case since the night in which it occurred two years ago, had been revoked by order of the Amir of the Eastern region and closed the file "
They added: "Finally we will appeal this judgment at the Court of Appeal, and we will raise our objection to it."
The Gulf Centre for Human Rights believes that the two human rights defenders have been targeted with fabricated charges that lack proper evidence solely due to their long, ongoing defence of women's rights in the country and their demand of the right of women to drive a car.
The GCHR calls on the authorities in Saudi Arabia to:
1.Immediately and unconditionally drop all charges against Wajeha Al-Huwaider, and Fawzia Al-Oyouni and quash the prison sentences against them;
2. Immediately and unconditionally remove the travel ban imposed on human rights defenders Wajeha Al-Huwaider, and Fawzia Al-Oyouni;
3. Reconsider the legal codifications of "Takhbib" or inciting women against their husbands, as this practice is judged without safe and protective legal measures. Additionally, most women rights' defenders would be liable if attempting to help women in domestic distress;
4. Guarantee in all circumstances that all human rights defenders in Saudi Arabia are able to carry out their legitimate human rights activities without fear of reprisals and free of all restrictions including judicial harassment.
The GCHR respectfully reminds you that the United Nations Declaration on the Right and Responsibility of Individuals, Groups and Organs of Society to Promote and Protect Universally Recognized Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, adopted by consensus by the UN General Assembly on 9 December 1998, recognizes the legitimacy of the activities of human rights defenders, their right to freedom of association and to carry out their activities without fear of reprisals. We would particularly draw your attention to Article 5 (c): "For the purpose of promoting and protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms, everyone has the right, individually and in association with others, at the national and international levels: (c) To communicate with non-governmental or intergovernmental organizations" and to Article 6 (c): "Everyone has the right, individually and in association with others: (c) To study, discuss, form and hold opinions on the observance, both in law and in practice, of all human rights and fundamental freedoms and, through these and other appropriate means, to draw public attention to those matters."

Baby Boomers to the Rescue! An Idea Whose Time Has Come …
December 2, 2010 at 12:01 am 15 comments
In these tough economic times, with headlines screaming about scary unemployment numbers, job losses and company belt-tightening, it's easy to overlook some interesting trends that actually bode well for more senior job-seekers. Oh, of course it is true that there are still record numbers of unemployed workers on the market, and certainly if you, yourself, are out of work … well, it's hard to not view things through a negative prism. However, one of the best kept secrets in today's employment market is this simple fact: in general, there are more and more jobs going unfilled due to a growing shortage of qualified candidates!
One piece of evidence I have that illustrates the validity of this fact is that I receive a daily email from Indeed.com generated by a job agent I have set up there. It sends me any new postings for Recruiter positions in my area. The number of new recruiter jobs being listed every day is higher now than at any time in recent memory – and more and more keep appearing! To me, that means only one thing: there are a large number of open jobs out there, and businesses and staffing agencies alike are having trouble finding qualified candidates to fill those jobs! Why else would there be a need to hire recruiters? It's not just that hiring managers are being overly picky (which they are) or that decision-makers are moving the hiring process along slower than ever (which they are.) It's a talent shortage, plain and simple. One of the reasons behind that fact is a trend involving the aging of the Baby Boomer generation.
For many years in the staffing industry, I've been hearing a very interesting and often-repeated statistical analysis of the ever widening gap between the growing talent needs of modern businesses, and the shrinking pool of qualified candidates who could fill those jobs. In 2011, the oldest of the Baby Boomers (people born between 1946 and 1964)¹ started turning 65. We are now seeing the beginning of a mass retirement movement unprecedented in American history – a radical demographic shift in the makeup of our work force. By 2015, one in five workers will be age 55 or over. All told, there are about 76 million people in that Boomer generation who will, over the next couple of decades, drop out of the work force. Sure, the current economic downturn is causing many Boomers to delay their retirement … but sooner or later they'll all reach a point where full-time work is no longer an option. By contrast, there are only about 51 million "Generation X'ers" (people born between 1965 and 1976)¹ who could potentially step into all those jobs that the Boomers are retiring from. That leaves a huge talent deficit: at least 25 million fewer potential workers!!! The next group in line – the so-called "Millennials" or "Generation Y'ers" (people born between 1977 and 1998)¹ – number around 75 million … but they are simply too young and inexperienced to step into the senior leadership roles that the Boomers are vacating.
I recently assumed the role of Director of Talent Solutions at a relatively new company called Patina Solutions. Patina is a Professional Services Firm that is poised to take advantage of this talent deficit with a rather unique approach. Patina deploys a portfolio of talent made up of professionals generally over the age of 50 and with 25 or more years of work experience who have retired from their traditional careers but still desire to make a difference and positively impact their respective industries. They are placed in consulting-contract assignments at client companies in a variety of industries. It's an idea whose time has come … sending Baby Boomers into companies who need senior level talent for things like interim C-Level executive positions, critical management assessments, knowledge transfer, staff training, and high-level project-based work loads. They are the kinds of positions that younger, less experienced people simply cannot do! Patina is a 3-year-old start-up with four offices – Milwaukee, Chicago, Cleveland and Boston. Their aggressive business plan calls for as many as 25 Patina offices to open in different markets by 2013.
In a way, it's quite ironic. I've already written several articles about how rampant the practice of Age Discrimination is in today's employment market. [See "Age Discrimination: Secret Conversations Revealed!" or "Age Discrimination: Exposing Inconvenient Truths" or "Are You 'Overqualified?' Handling the Age Issue …" for more of my musings on that topic.] However, in light of these new statistical trends and shifting workforce demographics, it's clear that those same companies who have resisted hiring older workers will be in huge trouble and have critical talent shortages when their own upper managers and executives retire over the next few years. And a company like Patina, which is ahead of the curve in recognizing the tremendous value of the shrinking but still highly employable Boomer workers, will be in the driver's seat for the decades still ahead of us. It'll be Baby Boomers to the Rescue!
Many readers have commented to me about the numbers of people in each of the generations quoted in this blog posting. Different sources I've seen quote different numbers. Part of the problem is pinning down exactly what years define each group, and there seem to be differing definitions out there for which years constitute Generation X'ers and Y'ers. Using the birth years now shown, I believe the population numbers in this posting are as accurate as possible.

Michael, as always, an excellent blog!
You hit that dead on. I joined the metals industry 20 years ago as I saw this back then. Everyone I talked to was entering their 50's. There were only a handful of 30-40 year olds. Now I am a 40 year old and only see things getting worse. This is what drew me to the metals industry. The United States is in for a big surprise. All of the sudden the new phrase of the day is "succession planning". It follows the cycle every ten years. With the advancements in technology we can do more with less, but at the same time the less will be moving on…. I feel that this will be why much of our manufacturing and innovation will be moving at even a faster pace overseas. I wish it were different but it is far too obvious to ignore.Tom Sigler
I agree: good blog post. And congrats on the gig with Patina.A question: I've been hearing about the looming talent shortage for awhile now – even before the current job situation. It was usually in the context of some sort of technical field, like the metals industry referenced by Tom (above), or big IT companies like IBM. What other areas and skills are being impacted, and which ones could a trade magazine editor possibly re-train for in a reasonable period of time?
Dan Alaimo-
That's a very difficult question to answer. I think the talent deficit will affect all industries across the board, to one degree or another. However, re-training yourself implies that you want to switch careers and pursue a field in which you have little or no prior experience. That's a huge challenge in and of itself, regardless of the increasing talent deficit. Potential employers almost always look for people with experience in their specific niche. (Read my prior posting, "Advice for Recent Grads and Career-Changers" for more on that.) Fewer people to compete with in the future may lessen that challenge … but finding a decent job in a brand new field you've never worked in before is still going to be an uphill battle.
Michael – As a coach working with people in "outplacement" it has always been easily apparent that the bulk of my candidates are over the age of 45. Difficult to say there is no age bias. This is refreshing news for my candidates and for those of us quickly exiting the "ideal" employment age bracket. Thank you for your insight.
I believe the talent shortage will also be felt in the manufacturing sector with front line workers. The challenge will be effective training and transfer of working knowledge in very many specialized areas.
The Millenials ARE too inexperienced but they are also cheaper. Thinking only about bottom line fiscals for the year is going to hurt companies long term. I wish I could point out that I might be more seasoned but I still have 25 years of productive work ahead of me. However, they wouldn't dare bring up age, and I shouldn't without sounding defensive.
The shortage of experienced/qualified staff is actually in several areas in which I am familiar, mostly related to heavy equipment, power generation and one job segment that is ALWAYS looking for people, field service engineering and technicians for OEMS.
I know pump and compressor OEMS willing to pay top dollar but can't find people.
I know power transmission service companies turning down contracts because they cannot find high voltage electricians and qualified power engineers.
There are no new machinists being trained. There is a shortage of certified welders, construction trade unions are struggling to fill appenticeships and on and on.
In the US our rate of graduating engineers is under 3% of college graduates. In China it is 20%!!
We need to take on the development of a skilled workforce for many areas.
Great thoughts Michael. While clearly a generalization, baby boomers are more likely to take a job for the long haul and have fewer distractions in their life. Coupled with deep experience and potential willingness for creative compensation arrangements, one would assume the hiring focus should shift to more effectively engage this group.
"There but for the grace of God go I." I'm not even religious! What a terrible unemployment rate for seasoned, competent and eager IT workers who watch their jobs get outsourced to India after training those people on how to do that work. I'm all for the spread of capitalism and a global economy, but this isn't a case of skimming the best & brightest from India and China. It's low-bidder pricing in order to win business, resulting in lower quality work. At the start of my career, when I was a mainframe applications programmer, we joked that "there's never enough time to do it right, but there's always enough time to do it over." That's reality today and if I hadn't switched to software sales in the mid '80s, my programming job would have been long gone, well before Y2K. You can read the screams of people in pain all over the blogs of LinkedIn groups concerning mainframes.
The challenges IT salespeople like me face today is that under-40 sales managers typically won't hire over-50 subordinates, regardless of that individual contributor's track record. People are taking double demotions just to have a job — and that's assuming they resolve the "overqualified" issue. It's musical chairs with the music being played twice as fast and the chairs being removed two at a time. Most unfortunately, management is focusing on "owning" a less productive employee instead of focusing on producing more quality work with the most competent employee. The ancient, politics-trumps-productivity situation lives on despite the extremes (the '90s vs. now) of unemployment rates.
There are about 80 million Generation Yers, but only about 67% are likely to want to work, making about 54 million workers.
There are shortages of intelligent and self-motivated people in general. Those specialties that demand years of study by intelligent people are generally very hard to fill with native-born Americans. For a long time, it has just been too easy to make money in finance, marketing, computer, and legal services for many Americans to do the hard work to get advanced degrees in science and engineering. We fill the shortage with foreign born people who have graduated from U.S. colleges and universities, but they often have communication shortcomings. To be sure, that is also a short-coming of native-born Americans in all too many cases.
A great shortage of metallurgists is developing. Many of them are Baby-Boomers. There are many other technical fields popular in the graduate schools of the late 1960s and the 1970s, whose graduates will soon be retiring.
I've re-edited the population statistics quoted in this blog, based on my research. (See the addendum at the bottom.) I don't know where you got that information about only 67% of Gen Y'ers likely to want to work. That sounds like a very subjective piece of data, probably based on some sort of snapshot opinion poll. Even if such a poll is accurate, I would venture to guess that as those young people mature and settle down later in life, that number would change dramatically. Sooner or later most adults need to figure out how to make a living!
Michael, great post. Thank you. Many of us are members of that boomer segment….and many of us are also members of the under-employed which, as of this writing, is up to 17%. So though we older workers have a lot to offer employers we do, as you say, often face some level of suspicion (understated discrimination) related to our skill level. However, us older workers are consistently known for our dependability, flexibility, and strong work ethic. That needs to be a big part of our brand.
Thank you. -
Michael, thoughtful post but I must disagree that there is a ray of hope for the boomers. I don't see it happening at least here in NY metro. First, regarding job volume, I have some evidence from asking around that a lot of the positions being listed are either for 'futures' (a/k/a 'kick the tires') or to fulfill ad frequency requirements for bulk rates on the boards. In other words, not real.
From what I have deduced, employers want to shrink their workforces to fit the reduced economy that we are going to face for the next five years. They are not creating jobs–look at the numbers–due to many factors including the prospect of increased taxation and healthcare. So they are eliminating positions and expanding workload of the remaining ones, or simply shrinking the work to fit a lower market share/expectation/spend. Gen X will fit nicely into this scheme–right age and right experience set at the right time. Tell me if I am wrong, but I do not notice many Gen X-ers without jobs for long. I'm in the mid-boomer cohort, and despite all the expansion in the field, including profile, and consulting work I've done in the past 18 months, it's tough to convince employers to even take a look. There are too many prejudices about age, expectations, health and other misconceptions to overcome, and too short of a time. Our most productive years will be wasted, and that is too bad for us.
I'm sure your experience in the job market is frustrating, to say the least. Age discrimination is still a dominant theme out there. However, the growing talent shortage I wrote of is real, and will only increase over time as the boomers slowly but steadily drop out of the market and retire. There may, indeed, be a short-term reduction in job volume going on now due to the economic downturn and fears about taxation and health care costs. But these things are very cyclical, and over time the market will rebound … and the need for experienced talent will certainly increase – not decrease. Yes, the Gen Xer's are poised for a favorable job market experience – but no matter how things shake out, there are still 25 million fewer of them than there are Boomers. I don't think modern industries will have 25 million fewer jobs available over the next 10 to 20 years. Quite the opposite — there will most likely be more and more demand for experienced talent … probably in technologies and industries that haven't even been invented yet. But the raw population numbers are the real story here.

Westheimer Block Party
The Westheimer Block Party is a crash course on the local music scene. The festival includes six stages showcasing more than 70 acts from H-town spanning every genre. There might be a few bad apples in the bunch, but the overlapping itinerary guarantees you wont have to put up with them for long.
The country-fused sounds of up-and-comers News on the March, the always refreshing lyrics of hip-hopper Perseph One, the rocking riffs of The American Sharks and the lulling voice of Sabra Laval are guaranteed to leave us sprinting from stage to stage in order to catch all these acts.
Its also a great time to check up on old favorites: How is Elaine Greer doing since she employed a full band and changed her name to The Holly Halls? What the hell have The Fucking Transmissions been up to? And whats the latest sound from the Piano Vines? (Good thing our feet have recovered from SXSW.) Performances start at noon. 300 to 500 block of Westheimer. For information and a complete schedule of bands, visit www.freepresshouston.com. Free.

Acronym Guide to Web Stacks
Web stacks contain an operating system, Web server, database server and programming language. One of the best-known Web stacks is LAMP, but there are many others.
A Web stack refers to software stacks for Web development environments. The stack of software, also called a solution stack, is frequently made up of open source software to run dynamic Web sites. Web stacks contain an operating system, Web server, database server and programming language. One of the most most well-known Web stacks is LAMP, which stands for the following:
L - Linux as the operating system
A - Apache as the Web server
M - MySQL as the RDBMS
P - PHP is the the scripting language
In many cases, where a 'P' exists in the acronym it stands for PHP, but Perl or Python may also be substituted for the programming language.
Alternative Web Stacks to LAMP
Here is a list of several alternative Web stacks and what software makes up the acronym. For more information, definitions to the various operating systems, programming languages, databases and Web servers can be found below.

Webopedia Definitions:
A freely distributable open source operating system that runs on a number of hardware platforms. The Linux kernel was developed mainly by Linus Torvalds. Because it's free, and because it runs on many platforms, including PCs and Macintoshes, Linux has become an extremely popular alternative to proprietary operating systems.
Mac OS
The official name of the Macintosh operating system. Earlier versions were called System x.x, where x.x were the version numbers.Microsoft Windows
A family of operating systems for personal computers. Windows provides a graphical user interface (GUI), virtual memory management, multitasking, and support for many peripheral devices.Solaris
A Unix-based operating environment developed by Sun Microsystems. Originally developed to run on Sun's SPARC workstations, Solaris now runs on many workstations from other vendors.Apache Web server
Often referred to as simply Apache, a public-domain open source Web server developed by a loosely knit group of programmers. Core development of the Apache Web server is performed by a group of about 20 volunteer programmers, called the Apache Group. However, because the source code is freely available, anyone can adapt the server for specific needs, and there is a large public library of Apache add-ons.IIS
Short for Internet Information Server, Microsoft's Web server that runs on Windows NT platforms. Because IIS is tightly integrated with the operating system, it is relatively easy to administer.MySQL
MySQL is an open source RDBMS that relies on SQL for processing the data in the database. MySQL provides APIs for the languages C, C++, Eiffel, Java, Perl, PHP and Python. MySQL is most commonly used for Web applications and for embedded applications and has become a popular alternative to proprietary database systems because of its speed and reliability. MySQL can run on UNIX, Windows and Mac OS.PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is an open source database system that began as an enhancement to the POSTGRES research prototype DBMS. Where POSTGRES used the PostQuel query language, PostgreSQL uses a subset of SQL.Oracle
Oracle Corporation is the largest software company whose primary business is database products. Historically, Oracle has targeted high-end workstations and minicomputers as the server platforms to run its database systems. Its relational database was the first to support the SQL language, which has since become the industry standard.SQL Server
Generically, any database management system (DBMS) that can respond to queries from client machines formatted in the SQL language. When capitalized, the term generally refers to either of two database management products from Sybase and Microsoft. Both companies offer client-server DBMS products called SQL Server.Firebird
Firebird is a RDBMS offering many ANSI SQL standard features that run on Linux, Windows and a variety of Unix platforms. Firebird offers concurrency, high performance and powerful language support for stored procedures and triggers. Firebird is open source and as such, it is completely free of any registration, licensing or deployment fees.PHP
Self-referentially short for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, an open source, server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language used to create dynamic Web pages. In an HTML document, PHP script (similar syntax to that of Perl or C ) is enclosed within special PHP tags. Because PHP is embedded within tags, the author can jump between HTML and PHP (similar to ASP and Cold Fusion) instead of having to rely on heavy amounts of code to output HTML. And, because PHP is executed on the server, the client cannot view the PHP code.Perl
Perl is a programming language developed by Larry Wall, especially designed for processing text. Because of its strong text processing capabilities, Perl has become one of the most popular languages for writing CGI scripts.Python
An interpreted, object-oriented programming language developed by Guido van Rossum. Python is very portable because Python interpreters are available for most operating system platforms. Although Python is copyrighted, the source code is open source, and unlike GNU software, it can be commercially re-sold.Ruby
Ruby is a simple but powerful object-oriented programming language (everything in Ruby is an object), created by Yukihiro Matsumoto. It can be used to write servers, to experiment with prototypes, and for everyday programming tasks. Ruby is open source and freely available for both development and deployment.Ruby on Rails
Abbreviated as RoR, Ruby on Rails (also referred to as just Rails) is an open source Web application framework, written in Ruby (object-oriented programming language), for developing database-backed Web applications.

There is nothing good about this phone. Awful, very bad phone. Just gate it. If you care about your money please don't buy it ever. The display is small, the features are very outdated and the design is rubbish. I just wanted to have a phone with transparent screen so I bought it but it is not worth the money I spent.

Television drama used to put the past and the present in two separate boxes, marked "Contemporary" (think police sirens, shell suits, "ishoos") or "Period" (pinnies, status obsession, nostalgia). You were either Byker Grove or Howards' Way, Ab Fab or House of Idiot. One was "relevant", the other dusty, escapist and quaintly mannered. Sometimes, great stuff came along that was neither one nor the other (think The Singing Detective), but generally, it was as if TV had taken it upon itself to maintain the tedious theatrical feud between the well-made drawing-room comedy and the kitchen-sink drama.
Well, that's all over now, baby blue. One look at Mad Men, the classy new US import about the advertising executives who worked on Madison Avenue in the Sixties, and you realise that TV drama has finally found its own sweet middle way. Mad Men is set in a past so recent its paint's still wet. It's a costume drama but the characters aren't museum dummies; they wear old-style hats and coats but the lifeblood of contemporary issues pumps through them. They are busy creating the consumer culture that has us by the neck today. Episode one shows the inception of an advertising strapline ("It's Toasted!") that tempts me every time I look at a pack of Lucky Strike. In Mad Men the past isn't another country; it's the present just about to happen.
So it's good, then? Indeed it is. The first episode gives us several characters we miss as soon as they leave the screen: the camp Salvatore, stuck in the closet but still waving gaily; the troubled hero, Don Draper, whose very cranial structure resembles that of a Sixties matinee idol (they just don't make backs-of-necks like that any more); and my favourite, the new office girl Peggy, whose sexual adventures are motivated by reasons as yet opaque – though of one thing we can be sure: her gawky china doll fringe betokens a makeover about to happen.
The show is great at giving out dots and letting you join them. When Don Draper's account file appears in his rival's hands, he says sardonically: "It's not like there's ... some magic machine that makes copies of things." Ah-ha, we crow from the comfort of 2008: there soon will be!
This technique is familiar: at around the same time as Mad Men was a hit in the States, we were making our own time-condensing, perspective-twanging drama Life on Mars. Their scripts share some principles (in episode two of Mad Men, there's a brilliant moment where a child playfully puts a plastic bag over her head – and gets a far from contemporary response), though where Life on Mars constantly questioned its own rhymes and reasons, Mad Men delivers straight drama with the sweeping authority you'd expect from a producer whose last job was The Sopranos. The touches of pastiche (Saul Bass-style titles and Bernard Herrmann-ish musical interlude) never threaten to overwhelm it: this show is centred. Sometimes it feels as if there are too many "ishoos": sexual inequality, minority rights, consumer choice crammed in too zealously, as if someone's head had exploded when they realised period drama could be relevant. But better too many ideas than too many crinolines, I say.
Of the raft of accompanying documentaries, watch out for Selling the Sixties, a great companion piece, but don't bother with The Hard Sell, a talking heads yawn. Meanwhile, see you on Madison Avenue – unless, that is, you have disappeared down Stephen Hawking's plughole in the space/time continuum – though really, I would recommend sticking around on BBC4. While Stephen Hawking: Master of the Universe gives a fascinating portrait of the man it also sprays out dangerously disorientating scientific hypotheses, such as the idea that our universe is, relatively, no bigger than this. That's right, a full stop.

African Americans In San Diego And Nationwide Still Have Highest HIV Infection Rate
Thursday, February 9, 2012
Aired 2/9/12 on KPBS Midday Edition.
Lisa Cosby, Triage Nurse UC San Diego's Owens Clinic
Acintia Wright, HIV Aids counselor at the San Ysidro Health Center, she is a mother of four who has been living with HIV since 1995
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, African-Americans are the racial group most affected by the HIV/Aids virus. The rates of infection among blacks remain disproportionately high. Here in San Diego County, African Americans make up 5 percent of the population, but 13 percent of HIV cases. Community activists say raising awareness and talking about AIDS, once a taboo subject, is helping to bring down those numbers.

Satan led the Nazis to use outright force to "weed out the weakling". That led to a backlash. So this time, Satan cloaks it all in terms of compassion. But it's still the same idea: People as consumer goods, with the "rejects" being put to death. |

Tom Scott has been that rarest of saxophonists: a guy who brings guts and oomph to the sticky-sweet realm of smoove jazz. In the 1970s, Mr. Scott accompanied Joni Mitchell on great records like Court and Spark and make soulful fusion records with his band, The L.A. Express. Over the next couple of decades, he was a studio musician and a smoove pioneer, but his weight and grit on tenor saxophone usually lent his projects a certain heft. Though "real" jazz was only a part of his past, you would hear Coltrane in his tone or Dexter Gordon in his attack.
In 1992, recording for smoove-machine GRP Records, he surprised his fans with Born Again, a straight-ahead date featuring strong peers such as Kenny Kirkland, Randy Brecker, Pete Christleib, and John Patitucci. Now, a decade-plus on, comes this live follow-up, a concert date from 2002 at the Manchester Craftsmen's Guild, a non-profit arts center in Pittsburgh. Using half of the Born Again arrangements for septet or octet, Mr. Scott again steps up to the jazz challenge, and quite well indeed.
This is another strong band, though only Mr. Brecker is carried over from 1992. New are Ronnie Cuber (muscular on baritone sax), Jay Ashby (colorful on trombone), Gil Goldstein (holding it all down on acoustic piano), Duane Burno (thanks very much on bass), and Willie Jones (drums, straight up and tasty), and a genuinely tight band it is. Also guesting on several songs is the alto player Phil Woods, a man with jazz purity credentials aplenty but—like Mr. Scott—an affinity for pop solos on records by Billy Joel, Steely Dan, and the like. The concert band arrangements—creative and sprightly if not innovative in any way—are all by Mr. Scott and do a fine job of setting his tenor in leading role that he is more than prepared to handle.
On Wayne Shorter's "Children of the Night", the opener, Mr. Scott carries the melody over the horns' pianistic statements, then he uncoils s solo with a pair of impressive opening runs that start from the bottom of his horn. He knows how to use repetition and blue tonality to bring the statement to a climax, and he does so. On "The Song Is You", Mr. Scott plays nicely just with the rhythm section for the theme and solo (particularly in a brief duet passage with Mr. Goldstein), acquitting himself reasonably well until the horn arrangement enters on the out-theme. That said, Mr. Scott sounds much better when cloaked in the ensemble, which is usually the case on Bebop United. On his original, "Silhouettes" and on Chick Corea's "Tones for Joan's Bones" (strangely misspelled here as "Jones Bones", BTW), Mr. Woods' solo statements are most convincing, the alto tone being absolutely distinctive and tart, filling the air above the piano, bass, and drums with a whole personality in music. Mr. Scott doesn't own the solo space as completely, and I suppose you wouldn't expect him to, what with years of studio work compelling him to blend.
But this album is at its best when the whole ensemble is sparking together on something finger-lickin', like Cannonball Adderly's "Sack O' Woe" or the original, "Back Burner", where Mr. Cuber and Mr. Brecker get lovely workouts over several choruses. Not many of these tunes are, in fact, what you would call straight "bebop", despite the album's title. "Close View" has the no-nonsense tempo and tangled melody line to bring to mind Bird and Diz, however, and its string of solos is the most show-stopping, with Woods seeming Parker-esque, Cuber rumbling and quoting Cole Porter, Brecker tart and tasty, and the leader taking the last horn statement, as is proper. This is an interesting moment, as the bass and piano cut out and let Mr. Scott go mano a mano with the drummer, Coltrane-style. And while this is the most harmonically "out" the album gets, the opportunity is squandered, with Mr. Scott taming himself quickly and the rhythm section back in before you know it.
Not that this is a huge problem. Bebop United is an admirable straight-ahead album—skillfully composed, arranged, and performed. Given the scarceness of quality octet dates, it's even a rare treat, in total. And certainly in the context of Mr. Scott's otherwise mushy discography, it stands out. But it also remains something basic and plain—a creamy vanilla shake or a solid steak dinner. Not headline-making, but you need one once in a while. Maybe now?

I have had my gears and tlock forever now. I got it fixed like a month ago, but cant put it in, because I want to also want a chip to go in at the same time! I just quit my job, I am going to have to wait for Christmas money. Patience is a virtue I guess
Christmas money was the best but once i got out of highschool, ive gotten less and less every year. And about the chip, just get a speedcal and get a chip later. youll just end of having to reburn it when you get more stuff.
hey buddy, if you want to hold off on the speedcal, just figure out how much your speedo is off and go w/o for a while. I'd offer to help you install it, but i've never cracked open a rear end before, so i think you'd have one up on me there. I just got my new wheels/tires today, i'm gonna go out with my GPS and check to see if my speedo is off at all, i can let you use mine to figure out how much your are off. Come by and meet me at Dutch Square mall one day and i'll let you borrow it. (let me know first, as i don't always have it with me.)

Facts and Events
CHARLES HYDE was born circa Nov 1909. He is listed as six months old on the 1910 census dated April. He appeared on the census of 1910 at Hamtramck Township, Hamtramck Village, Wayne County, Michigan. He died between Apr 1910 and 1920. Family records state that Anna and her twin Charles died at birth. Charles is listed in the 1910 census dated April, but Anna is not. If the records are correct then Anna died at birth and Charles died sometime after April 1910 and before 1920. References

Eighteen high school student-athletes from across Indiana will begin the school year as members of the 2013-14 IHSAA Student Advisory Committee (SAC).
The SAC represents the entire IHSAA membership of 409 schools, and its structure reflects that of the IHSAA Board of Directors in terms of classification and districts as well as female, urban schools and minority representation.
Each year, the IHSAA receives nominations from school principals on behalf of student-athletes from IHSAA member schools. From that group of this year's nominations, 23 were selected for interviews by members of the IHSAA Executive Committee, Executive Staff and returning members of the SAC. From those 23 interviews, nine juniors were invited to join the group of nine seniors serving their second year.
Among the returning seniors are Hayley Betz of Evansville Harrison and Nathan Criss of South Putnam High School who were elected as president and vice-president, respectively, by their peers for the school year.
Individuals who will serve as part of this year's committee include:
2013-14 IHSAA Student Advisory Committee | ||
Name | Grade | School |
Hayley Betz (President) | 12 | Evansville Harrison High School |
Joel Boser | 11 | Hamilton Heights High School |
Amber Cowell | 12 | Culver Academy |
Nathan Criss (Vice-President) | 12 | South Putnam High School |
Jude Diagostino | 11 | Tri West Hendricks High School |
Olivia Gettelfinger | 11 | Bloomington High School North |
William Kelly | 12 | Lakeland High School |
Christian Kreiger | 11 | Fort Wayne Canterbury High School |
Olivia Mc Millan | 11 | Connersville High School |
Jordan Meurer | 11 | North Knox High School |
Michael Montgomery | 11 | Tindley Accelerated High School |
Gracie Norton | 11 | Mooresville High School |
Turner Perkins | 12 | Danville High School |
Lexi Place | 11 | Bloomfield High School |
Sara Slabaugh | 12 | Bremen High School |
Ellen Smith | 12 | Plymouth High School |
Kirsten Spangenberg | 12 | Boone Grove High School |
Casey Yager | 12 | Rushville High School |
The IHSAA began sponsoring the Student Advisory Committee in 2001-02 to give the group of student-athletes hands-on experience and a voice to the IHSAA staff.
The SAC meets four times annually – twice each semester – and is responsible for hosting meetings with student peers at the upcoming Fall Area Principals Meetings; assisting with the awards ceremonies at IHSAA state championship events throughout the school year, planning and administering the annual IHSAA Student Leadership Conference in June and; to engage in and support the activities of Special Olympics Indiana, a partnership announced last December.
Other SAC functions include the development of an IHSAA Captain's Handbook which will be distributed to member schools this fall as well as assisting in the creation of multiple public service announcements addressing good sporting behavior which will be utilized during 2013-14 state championships events.

Pagans and Other Unitarian Universalists Inspired by Nature
Many Unitarian Universalists draw inspiration from the cycles of seasons, the beauty and complexity of the natural world, and the intricate relationships between humans and all the other life on this planet. Some of us practice indigenous religions and Modern Paganism. All of these are part of the sixth source of our living tradition, "spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature."
Our worship services include writings, poetry, and ritual of earth-centered traditions. As allies in indigenous peoples' struggles for cultural survival, we do not borrow indigenous practices and use them as our own. We respect indigenous religions as paths to native peoples' spiritual and cultural renewal, and welcome those who practice them.
We also welcome those who identify as Pagans, including Wiccans, Druids, and practitioners of Goddess Spirituality. The Modern Pagan movements have many Unitarian Universalists among them. Some of our congregations have Modern Pagan groups within them, organized as chapters of CUUPS (the Covenant of UU Pagans).
