Doesn't Obama's NEW method of counting "jobs created" seem shadier than the first?
This article claims they have "abandoned their controversial method of counting jobs".
The former method counted jobs created (you can measure this) and jobs saved (Congressional Budget Office is on record as saying that tracking this statistic is impossible).
But NOW the WH has expanded their "jobs created or saved" to include ANY job related to ANY project that received stimulus money. (despite the fact that these jobs weren’t saved or created)
What do you think??
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100112/ap_o n_bi_ge/us_stimulus_counting_jobs
Despite mounting a vigorous defense of its earlier count of more than 640,000 jobs credited to the stimulus, even after numerous errors were identified, the Obama administration now is making it easier to give the stimulus credit for hiring. It’s no longer about counting a job as saved or created; now it’s a matter of counting jobs funded by the stimulus.
That means that any stimulus money used to cover payroll will be included in the jobs credited to the program, including pay raises for existing employees and pay for people who never were in jeopardy of losing their positions……………………"It is troubling that the administration is changing the rules and further inflating the Recovery Act’s impact and masking the failure of the stimulus to produce sustainable economic growth or real job creation," Issa said in a letter sent last week to the government board monitoring stimulus spending.
Recipients of recovery money no longer have to show that a job would have been lost without the stimulus help, and they no longer are required to keep an ongoing tally of jobs saved or created. The new rules allow stimulus recipients to limit the job tally to quarterly reports, making it impossible to avoid double-counting a job that was created in one quarter and continued into the next.
yea now he counts it if it’s a job created, saved, or funded. What a joke.

a job saved is a job created.

tracer | Jan 12, 2010
Yes it is.
It’s particularly funny because government intervention into the economy doesn’t even work to begin with. The stimulus was a failure before it was even passed. If there was an ever an example of "herding the sheep", so to speak, this is it.
extremist | Jan 12, 2010
I think that the people have wised up to all these Obama techniques of making our economy look better. Longer lines at unemployment offices are a true testament to the job situation, and not some fake numbers on a government document that claim otherwise.

Is there really a "European Union Oil Rig (EUOR) Certificate" that's required for employment in the UK?
No. Most companies do give some form of training. After all, not every oil rig works exactly the same. Even if you have some previous oil rig experience, they want to make sure you know the details of the rig they put you on. Apart from on the job training for your duties aboard the oil rig, you normally also need to have some form of offshore medical certificate, offshore survival certificate and helicopter underwater escape training certificate. The exact form of the certificates partly depends on which company you work for and where you are deployed. In addition, you may need to have an up-to-date passport, visa and vaccinations.

… Flab into Fab? … xD?
Hiya!
I’m trying to lose about 2 or more stones by 30th May (I’m going to disney land)
I’m about 5′3, 14 years old and 12 stone. I gained about 3 stone since i started secondary school and i really want to lose it.
This is what i do now On School Days
Breakfast- 7:20 I eat cereal, Special K or Shreddies
Snack- 9:50 I eat the 99 calorie Special K snack (yummy)
Lunch- 12:10 I have brown bread tuna and mayo sandwich or cheese sandwich or even colslaw (don’t know how to spell it) sandwich (all with margarine)
Dinner- 4:00 I have a meal like, jacket potato with tuna, kidney beans and rice, mash potato and vegetables, something like that.
Evening- 7:00 I eat cereal again
I heard having 5 or 6 small meals a day will speed up the metabolism (in simple english, can you please explain to me what that means? xD)
I need some help on the weekends because this is where everything goes wrong
My Family decides to Buy take away
and I get VERY bored at times, i want to eat even when I’m not hungry, yes, i know I’m a pig… 
Exercise
Me and My sis have decided 2 go to Town/Mall every Saturday at about 2 pm for 2-3 Hours (this is a lot of walking xD)
2 or 3, sometimes 4 times a week i go swimming at 4:45 until 6:15 (how much calories does that burn? xD)
I walk from school to home 5 times a week which is like 30 minutes, 2 miles i think (how much will that burn?)
I have P.E on Tuesdays and Fridays for 1 hour.
And i help my mum with cleaning or so.. (sometimes xD)
By the way, I’m not killing myself doing this, i have plenty of relaxation time xD
I heard drinking 7 glasses of water a day is very good, i don’t know if i can do this, but I’ll try
How much weight would i lose a week with this diet?
So what do you think? Shall i change the diet slightly? Will i achieve my goal?
Please give some good tips , Thanks
you sound like you’re doing a lot of good things, here are my suggestions:
make sure you eat fruits and vegetables every day
so exercises like bicycle or jogging
when you feel hungry chew gum instead (sugarless)
drink plenty of water, a lot of times your body can mistake hunger for thirst
cut down on all chips and soda, a cookie a day isn’t bad for you but don’t eat a lot
that’s all I’ve got, good luck!
yeah, it's me | Feb 05, 2010
Just one thing i have to tell you, don’t be stupid and go on a 500 calorie diet, yes instant weight loss sounds amazing however in the long run it’s very bad! Extremely Bad!
BTW, lol you say xD alot? Lol

Pros and Cons of these Colleges: Boston University, Emerson College, NYU, and Fordham.?
I’m a high school student with a GPA of 3.5-3.8 and an interest in majoring in Acting, Theatre Arts, or Theatre Education. These are my top four schools that I think I have somewhat of a chance of getting into. I know I want to attend college in New York or Boston because I absolutely love both of the cities. I would prefer a smaller school, but NYU is a dream, and BU looks really promising. I am in a vocal ensemble at my school and in the school musical and soon I am going to volunteer as an usher regularly at the biggest theatre in my city. What else can I do to prepare for college before senior year?
So what can you tell me about these four schools. Pros? Cons? Comments? Concerns? The inside scoop? I would like to know more about the theatre programs, if possible. Money is a little bit of an issue, so how much financial aid do these schools give? Are they worth the price?
Also, I’ve been receiving a lot of negativity for wanting to major in theatre-related fields. I know the life of an actor or other theatre related jobs is not an easy or successful one. Tips?
Thanks!
NYU
Pros: In New York–and in a really fun part of Manhattan. If you want to be in theatre, NYC is *the* place to be. Great restaurants, clubs, museums. Walking distance to everything. Very eclectic student body.
Cons: Some people can feel a bit alienated, since there’s no real campus and dorms are often quite spread out (but same goes for every other college you’ve mentioned.) Expensive. No emphasis on sports (this could be bad or good–it would be a pro for me, but a con for many others.)
I don’t know anyone who didn’t love NYU, frankly.
I don’t know that much about Emerson. I have a couple of friends who went there. It was EXTREMELY artsy–even more so than NYU. If you’re into that, then fine, but my friends were kind of…weirded out (?) by it.
Fordham is a good school, but it won’t have the same caliber students as the other schools will. It’s also not really in Manhattan, which is kind of annoying.
BU is a fun school. Pretty big focus on sports; parties are great. No real campus but Boston is smaller than NY so it can feel a little more insular.
They’re all relatively similar. If you want to be in theatre, I would recommend NYU first and Emerson second. Regarding your intended course of study–sure, being an actor is hard. But you can also involve yourself in other parts of theatre, like being the Managing Director of a theatre company, to make money.
To improve your chances…keep your GPA up; volunteer as much as you can in theatre (an usher is great, but see if you can help out more.) You will need very strong essays and recommendations for these schools (except for BU, which will focus on you more as a number and less as a person because it’s a bigger school.)
Good luck!
xo379 | Jan 09, 2010
I am a senior. Applied to Fordham first choice this year and just got deferred. hopefully going to get in and go. Starting with that, its a great school! i visited last spring and loved it. the atmosphere is great and they have a ton of resources to offer, especially being in New York City! I am also a musician, so I am looking to major or minor in music industry. The arts are going to be pretty big at any of these schools. BU and Emerson i dont really know much about. my buddy is applying to the film program at Emerson. I think its a pretty good theatre and film school, with a good reputation. NYU is probably the best theatre school in the country. probably the most competative. When i looked at it, i hated it. the kids there are VERY artsy, who knows, you might like that. I feel like the people there are kinda snobby as well ("My arts better than yours, blah blah blah") stuff like that. But overall its a great school and I am sure youd get A LOT out of any program you are in there. I am no theatre person, but NYU and Fordham are or were top of my list so i thought id give you a reply. GOOD LUCK!
freddy b | Jan 09, 2010
Fordham
Pros: It’s in New York City, Jesuit Education, nice campus, good overall reputation.
Cons: It’s in the Bronx.
NYU
Pros: It’s REALLY in the City, it also has a good reputation, their arts programs are probably the best after Juilliard.
Cons: Snobby kids and uncaring professors. Campus isn’t really a campus.
BU:
Pros: It’s right in the middle of Boston.
Cons: I’ve heard grade inflation horror stories about BU. Again, campus isn’t really a campus.
I don’t know much about Emerson.
Good Luck!

I know that most of the time when men say, "Good girl" to their girlfriend/wife it's a term of endearment, but?
But would men see it as a term of endearment if their girlfriend/wife tells them, "Good boy"?
Life is too short to nit pick at things like this. To each their own. Depends on the individual and the tone its said in and the circumstances involved.

End of Train device question?
heres part of a rule concerning markers at the rear of the train:
A marker must be displayed on the trailing end of the rear car to indicate the rear of the train. display a highly visible marker at the rear of every train, from 1 hour before sunset to 1 hour after sunrise. Display a reflector, red flag, or EOT device at the rear of the train as the marker when: a highly visible marker is not required, a defective car must be placed at the rear for movement to a repair point…
does this mean that a "highly visible marker" must be a lighted marker, usually the blinking red light…, from sunset to sunrise?…
otherwise it can be a flag, reflector, eot?…
Im just getting confused on this rule and the wording.
You are correct, highly visible marker must be blinking red light and somewhere in the definition it has to be a specified brightness.
they tried just a traffic type marker with a red lens and it wasnt good enough.
Red flag is ok in the daytime, I have seen them used in work trains and locals here and the FRA approves it.
Rango | Feb 06, 2010
UK rules: every train must carry a red light at the rear, day and night. Formerly these were oil lamps but nowadays, electric lamps are used.
squeaky guinea pig | Feb 06, 2010
Rango and Squeaky will agree with me, there’s nothing like a real caboose with twin red lights to tell an oncoming train it’s the end of another. FRED’s are an acronym for, F***ing, Rear End Dummy!
