SMALL BUSINESS SURVIVAL OR DEATH IN THIS RECESSION
COMMENTS: BECAUSE OF A TREMENDOUS RESPONSE, WE SHUT OFF COMMENTS TO OLDER BLOGS. JOIN OUR DISCUSSION IN OUR MOST RECENT BLOG. 
Numerous companies and organizations are proving that DIRECT MARKETING is what has kept their business steady and thriving in the middle of this recession which may not improve any time soon. The nice thing about most direct marketing is it involves independent contractors who follow a business owners guidelines, but the business owner does not have to absorb the expenses that accompany an employee-employer relationship. Anyone can implement Direct Marketing. It’s also attractive to independent contractors because they may often times work out of their home or set their own schedule as they get paid based on their production. Its a win-win for all involved. Sellers can buy a required amount of inventory to assure their dedication and reduce the risk for the employer. If its a service commodity, independent contractors may invest or pay an upfront fee to cover the expenses of demonstration, training, or general expense materials. You are creating jobs for people!
In order to place your product on the shelves of a retailer, you have to pay them a fee to do this. Politics come into play and serve as obstacles to putting your product on the shelves, because most well established competitors don’t want your product next to their product. You need a large amount of cash. Your turnover rate in a retail store may be 2%-5%. Direct selling gives you 80-100% dependent upon your initial cost.
Its been shown that only 24% of small businesses are using social media which is declined from six months to a year ago. However out of this percentage, 82% use one of the most popular social networking mediums. The expectations of what social media can do have changed in that business owners are finally realizing it is great for building social awareness about their company versus direct sales. The sales will flow automatically in a more indirect manner. This is a turn off to many who are stuck in a rut of old fashioned thinking, but it has done wonders for those who are willing to explore new and free ways of gaining exposure for their business. How many people read a phone book just to browse through it? Phone books are typically used when someone has already decided they need a product or service. In social networking, you are reaching an audience you may have never reached through other methods of advertising or marketing. It works wonders. When it begins to launch and convert itself into sales, most business owners are inundated with customers. If you don’t have a long term mindset, you’ll have to develop one along with patience. Its the difference between building a quick short-lived fire in fifteen minutes versus taking an hour or two to collect the twigs, branches & logs to assure you have the ingredients for a robust fire that will burn for days. Social media works the same way. It can take months before you see the results, but rest assured you are gathering the ingredients for a solid foundation & long term survival in your industry. Your bonfire will be seen from miles away. Your competitors will attract a small group of consumers in a short period of time, but they won’t hang around once the flames fizzle out. Where do you think they will go? They are going to run for the massive flames. Make sure that bonfire is attached to your business.

TOP 5 MEDICAL ADVANCEMENTS & RESEARCH
1) HEART ATTACKS: Cooling the temperature of the body with focus on the reducing the brain’s temperature has revealed favorable results in the survival rates of heart attack victims. Did you know that only five to ten percent of heart attack victims are successfully resuscitated? There is a new device called the BeneChill. Medical experts claim it can be used without medical training to cool the body’s temperature and best of all, its portable. It was invented by a neurologist from the U.K., (Dr. Denise Barbut now resides in New York).
2) MEDWATCHER: MedWatcher is an application compatible with the iphone. It will send you status reports on everything from recalls to the latest discoveries on the medicine or list of prescriptions you or a loved one is taking. If you or a loved experience an adverse reaction to one or medications, you can immediately send a message to the FDA. Other reports from other users will be available for your review as well. We have Children’s Hospital of Boston & University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to thank for this application.
3) ELASTIC IRON ALLOY:You may have heard of nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy), but Elastic Iron Alloy is comprised of iron, nickel, cobalt, & aluminum. Its elasticity is 13% beyond its original size, 1.5 times stronger than nitinol and it has excellent elastic memory. What’s it good for? It would be beneficial to manufacturers of medical devices and construction workers who build structures in earthquake prone areas. It would add to the stability of the devices and structures while increasing durability and flexibility with the human body (medical devices) and the earth (structural engineering). [NOT YET RELEASED OR APPROVED]
4) MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS:Moving closer to a cure? 55% of MS patients also have reduced fluidity in the veins from the brain to other parts of the body. This reduction is known as Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency or CCVI. Paolo Zamboni believes because of these studies that perhaps since an abundance of iron results from CCVI in the brain that this iron may be a key to the cause of MS. Zamboni implanted stints in the veins leading to the brain and it produced extremely positive results. There is much more to be done in this study. http://www.suite101.com/content/dr-paulo-zamboni-offers-hope-to-ms-patients-a172795
5) SPIRITUAL HEALING: There is the area of cures and healing that have less to do with this world and more to do with the unseen realm. There are countless stories of dumbfounded scientists, surgeons, physicians, nurses, and other medical experts who cannot explain the healing process of certain patients who cross their paths. http://www.christian-faith.com/forjesus/divine-healing-of-son-in-hospital http://mindhacks.org/miraculous-healing-with-the-mind/ http://www.uscatholic.org/culture/art-and-reviews/2010/03/full-grace-miraculous-stories-healing-and-conversion-through-marys-i

ECONOMIC AND JOB GROWTH IS SLOW BUT STEADY
A man of courage is also full of faith.
Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC to 43 BC) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicero
LOOKING FOR A JOB, JOB SEARCHING, FINDING JOBS, JOB PLACEMENT, RECRUITING, RECRUITERS,
OR
SEARCHING FOR LABOR, SEARCHING FOR TALENT, SEARCHING FOR QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS, LOOKING TO FILL A POSITION
Growth in the market is slow but it is occurring.
Steel & metal workers in Illinois and Missouri felt the positive shift.
Producers of medications and medical equipment in the health care industry also witnessed a rise in demand.
Previously overall manufacturing was on the rise (April)
Retail sales was doing well (April-current)
The fashion industry in New York experienced an increase (May-June)
The housing market improved as mortgage rates dropped (May-June)
Tourism received a boost (April)
Since February 2010, a higher number of people, for the first time, voluntarily left their jobs than were asked to leave through layoffs or termination. In addition and more recently, for the first time in a long time fewer people have been laid off in Januray of 2011 and the number of jobs created exceeded the number of lost jobs across the nation.
Part of the struggle and challenge is that each time we take a step forward we seem to be facing a new disaster. When we say we, we mean the whole world.
Greece was unable to repay their tab on social programs, overspending and more in April 2010. Greece just didn’t have the cash. Greece is part of the Euro Currency Union so that a default without repercussions is not feasible. Experts denote that Ireland, Italy, Portugal & Spain are in a similar position. Experts claim it is just a matter of time before these other European countries follow suit behind Greece.
We have been faced with the oil spill which continues to draw on our resources and while taking jobs away it is also adding jobs. We must remain focused on the creation of jobs at all times while remaining aware of the loss of jobs. Our energy and resources should be invested in the creation of jobs or in finding jobs for people.
The recent flooding in Tennessee and more recently in Arkansas has not helped businesses in those areas.
GOOD NEWS:
As the number of people who quit their jobs out numbers the employees who were terminated, experts state with confidence that this shows that employees are being given options, job offers, and income. It shows there is cash in the market to generate and regenerate small to mid-size businesses, households, financial institutions, educational institutions, government sectors, insurance companies, factories, manufacturers, and more.
Interest rates are expected to remain low and continue to be aggressively worked on to maintain such attractive levels.
We are not facing issues with inflation because influential businesses and their leaders realize the damage that would follow in such a fragile economy.
Even with the fall-outs of earthquakes, oil spills, war, floods, etc. we must keep in mind that we still managed to stay afloat. Again we call to action progressive and proactive behavior toward solutions and avoid investments of time and efforts in dwelling on the challenges and obstacles. Great men and women must overcome great obstacles & great nations are the only nations that can conquer great challenges. These events have not stopped us. Events of the past of our ancestors have not beaten us either.
Stocks jumped upward as of Friday, 6-2010. Ben Bernanke (Chairman of the Federal Reserve) estimates continual growth being slow but steady and we are not expected to fall back into a recession.
Courage is the key for the entire world. Embracing courage at a time when you are not feeling very courageous is the only time courage is put to the test.

YOUR CAREER & THE KIND OF CAR YOU DRIVE
http://4carwallpapers.com/tag/koenigsegg-ccxr
Depending on your employer and its key decision makers, the type of car you own and operate can be considered an extension of your fashion sense. Especially for the more youthful crowd or the young-at-heart crowd, you should always be aware of the message you are sending to your employer by the choice of car you drive. Some companies and occupations thrive on the flashiness of an automobile. Know your audience. Know your clients or clients to be . Know your co-workers or co-workers to be. In other words, if you are a sales representative and 50% or more of your anticipated clientele is going to be comprised of senior citizens, then choose a car that will send a calming message to your clients and your employer.
If however you are intending to be a club/party promoter in a high paced high fashion community, then a flashier car may be more suitable. Applying common sense is the protocol. Try to match your car with your career. We have worked with companies where no one earns anything less than six figures (including the clerical team), yet the company’s parking lot contains vehicles that cost $30,000.00 or less. We have seen CEO’s and presidents who are doing quite well, but opt to drive a Chevrolet Impala (fully loaded) and its not a “company car”.
An environmentally based employer may expect you to be operating a “green” vehicle. Your car could be the tie breaker between you and another applicant or candidate just like your clothing fashion sense, your manners, vocabulary and more. All we are saying is be as polished as you can be before heading into that interview.
If affordable, the best case scenario is to own two vehicles. This again is based on affordability and an abundance of income with suitable savings and retirement accounts and investments solidly in place. If you find yourself with an undying desire to drive a stylish high performance exotic vehicle, but your job dictates a more conservative mode of transportation, some professionals have satisfied both sides of their life by owning two vehicles. Many professionals appeal to their “creative” side by investing in a motorcycle.
We all fall prey to becoming preoccupied with our freedom of how we spend our income that we can overlook the messages we are sending to our bosses or superiors at work. We’ve witnessed qualified employees holding themselves back, unknowingly, for a promotion. Just put yourself in your employers’ position. If you were responsible for determining which of two employees you are going to promote to take on three times the amount of responsibility they have now, to meet with the public (all ages), and to be more visible in the community (all things being equal), would you choose the worker driving the two seater with the loud music or would you select the candidate with the sedan or SUV? Imagine if once in a great while the employee is required to pick up a vendor or client from the airport/train station or be the driver for lunch.
As petty as it may seem, executives and owners of companies can’t afford to be cavalier about their choices for jobs and promotions. Their reputations is on the line too. Again, your job and employer may or may not be effected at all by the kind of car you drive, but its something to keep in mind for those of you whose company culture does dictate something different in more subtle terms. Next time you drive into your parking lot or garage at work, take note of the automobile styles of your peers and especially of the those in a higher position you’d like to attain some day.

CHRISTIANITY
CHINA
CAPITALISM
With 5,000-6,000 years of proven history and communism taking its hold in 1949, China must be talked about in terms of our jobs and our economy. You may be for or against the U.S.A. reaching out to China and hosting a formal dinner that some say was long overdue and others feel there is no need for the formality. Can we afford to ignore such a massive country in terms of population, sheer size, political and economic power? A country that some say owns a piece of the U.S.A. on paper. Analysts say China needs the U.S.A. more than the U.S.A needs China. At the end of the day both countries seem to be in need of one another no matter the degree of need. China isn’t going anywhere and yes many of their government practices go against our core beliefs.
An extremely strange and unlikely phenomenon has been taking place in China. It has been a long time coming since the Cultural Revolution of China in the mid 1960′s and the massacre at Tiananmen Square in 1989. China’s focus has always been on business and ways to stay in the game earning profits. China can’t afford economic mistakes given its population of over 1.3 billion people on a planet that holds approximately 6.7 billion total. China carries 20% of the world’s population. China is slowly opening its doors to bits and pieces of Christianity. It may not be that those in control are for Christianity in their hearts, though we can’t say, but they acknowledge the positive influence Christianity has on their economy. The more they loosen the restraints on Christianity the more the country prospers & we can attest to China’s most recent growth spurt toward the number two spot of economic world powers. China’s people are responding more favorably once converting to Christianity and more people are coming out of the closet with their Christianity. Some list China’s main religions or beliefs as Atheism, Buddhism, Shenism-Taoism, Islam, Confucianism, Catholicism, & Protestantism. Many argue which ones are more popular but most would agree that China’s government has pursued and encouraged Atheism with great fervor.
HAS CHINA COME TO THE REALIZATION THAT CHRISTIANITY IS GOOD FOR CAPITALISM?
China is moving further away from Communism for over thirty years. It is a slow but steady process. The motivation behind the change is rooted in job and economic growth. So while it may not be pure its happening and perhaps purity will follow the economic effects. Don’t make the mistake of thinking Christians are welcomed in every corner of this massive land. There is still a great deal of persecution against Christians and other religions though some would argue the validity of this allegation. We allow the missionaries we know personally to tell their stories. The stories speak of persecution being alive and well. Some statistics indicate more people are behind bars in China for their faith than in any other country.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
-
It is reported that three or more people are forbidden from gathering for religious sake without prior government approval.
-
Churches and other places of worship remain unregistered and thus illegal in China because to register your place of worship means the government controls what you do, who does it and how they do it.
-
It is illegal to educate a person under the age of 18 about God/Jesus.
-
The torture that many endure is unspeakable in the attempt by police to convince their captives to turn in others.
Many churches remain underground with “look-outs” in the event of raids that result in torture and murder, which are common. The worshipers are often told to “keep it down” when their excitement builds for their faith. There are Christians in China who have a very different account of their ability to practice their faith arguing there are no issues. Jim Mingri, a pastor of the Zion Church is one of them. He is proof that things are changing in China and that not everyone’s experience is the same. Did the Chinese government formally request the 700 Club appoint Christian ministers to spread the Gospel? We don’t know the specifics. So if you ever wonder why Christians in the U.S.A fight so hard for their right to practice, its because every religion, belief system, race, or classification of people is closer to losing their rights and freedoms as we know it because we live with a false sense of security. We fail to realize that a single catastrophic act or occurrence or subtle and gradual opinions can alter the way the country and world look at you. You can fall out of or in favor in a single day. 911 is a perfect example of an immediate shift in reaction toward Islam while Sikh followers were also targeted out of ignorance for the differences in attire. We are all susceptible. What we fight for in this country is what we fight for in every country for every person.
http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/china_705/interview/extended.html The word underground is being replaced with independent.
We take much for granted in the USA, including those of us who choose not to worship. We have the freedom to attend or not attend a church, a synagogue or any place of worship for a wedding, a funeral or a social gathering of any kind at your leisure. How many people who don’t practice a religion have had the luxury and freedom of attending a church because of an affair or event inolving a friend, family member or co-worker? Keep in mind many faiths are under persecution in China. As we look at the economy of America we MUST look at the economy of the world and other leading nations. Our jobs are effected by jobs overseas and vice versa. We can’t ignore their existence any more than they can ignore ours. How do we work side by side with a nation so different than ours politically and socially? Is it even feasible? Should it be attempted?
Perhaps closing the door on China would also be like closing the door on the Christians and Capitalists of China. China is more than just its government. Its 1.3 billion people who we can guarantee aren’t just vying for the number two position. They won’t stop climbing until they reach number one. When you witness someone you don’t care for (because their ethics differ from yours) climbing the ladder toward CEO in your company or some other powerful position, do you ignore them or do you strive to bridge the gap because that person will influence your livelihood? Your voice must be heard because it is crucial to your survival & the company’s survival. We witnessed what happens in the court room to the companies who hire and promote executives who are unethical while ruling with arrogance and an unyielding iron fist. Is China changing?

UNEMPLOYMENT CRISIS IN CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY & NATIONWIDE HEALTH CARE STATS
Camden New Jersey is known for its impoverished status and high crime activity. Camden’s political officials were balancing a budget that was impossible to balance. The money is simply not there. As a result half of the Camden Police Department and one third of the Camden Firefighters were laid off today. All jobs and positions were effected in some capacity including those that served as a support for the actual police firefighters. Camden received less assistance from the state level officials and the revenue usually drawn from taxes has dwindled.
Photos of work boots from the laid off workers are lined up along the sidewalk outside City Hall to make a statement. They wanted to show the public how many officers would no longer be available in an already crime-ridden environment. No worker wants to be laid off. When the money is gone, what is a city, state or country to do? Approximately 335 workers lost their jobs today (1/18/2011) in Camden New Jersey. Some reports say this is 25% of Camden’s total work force and others estimate a little less. Regardless, private industry has been shouting from its roof tops for four years now and no one seems to be listening or seems to have cared. Private industry began laying off workers as early as 2006 and certainly by 2007 lay offs were in full swing and have yet to come to a halt. In addition hundreds of thousands of workers who lost their jobs in 2007 remain unemployed in 2011. Many who were fortunate enough to find work found work paying fifty percent or less than what they were accustomed to earning.
Many people who have been unemployed for years were watching the reactions of the firemen and women and the police force and support staff today who were laid off and the long term unemployed had mixed emotions. Their hearts went out to them but they also wondered why this came as a surprise because they have been trying to alert people to the catastrophe of joblessness we are facing nationwide. Many of the long term unemployed have already lost their homes, their cars, their ability to pay their every day expenses that most take for granted and their sense of self worth.
Mayor Dana Redd of Camden said they could have bypassed a good number of layoffs if the unions had been more flexible in their negotiations. Union officials argued that there was no guarantee from city politicians that jobs would be preserved if they were willing to concede on several issues and without that promise they felt jobs would be lost along with having given in to numerous concessions. As they say there are three sides to every story. There is still a chance for workers to regain some of the lost positions if the union agrees to the city’s proposals.
How many people in private industry would cherish the opportunity to “negotiate” their jobs back? That number would probably be in the 95 to 99 percentile range. Many workers are appealing their layoffs by filing formal appeals. The citizens of Camden have a great many concerns related to safety that most of us would never be able to attach a monetary figure to if it was threatened as it is in Camden, especially when you are facing crime on a daily basis right outside your front door.
At what cost do we compromise safety?
Is Camden just one city of many to follow suit?
On a more positive note mass hospital layoffs decreased over the last few months and that is excellent news for the health care industry. Unemployment for health care hospital workers was higher in 2009 than 2010 and seems to be heading in the right direction nationwide for 2011. Jobs are being created in the health care industry. Eight thousand jobs were added in November and forty thousand jobs were added for the year of 2010 prior to November.

HAPPY MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY-EQUALITY IN THE WORK PLACE
Born January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia Married June 18, 1953 (Coretta Scott-King) Marion, Alabama Assassinated April 4th, 1968 (age 39) Memphis, Tennessee
Based on his exceptionally high college entrance exam scores at Booker T. Washington High School during his Junior year, Dr. King, Jr. was advanced immediately to collegiate studies at Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. He was only 15 years of age when he attended college (His brilliance resulted in him skipping his freshman and senior years of high school). He graduated from Morehouse in 1948 with a B.A. in Sociology. He immediately applied and was accepted at Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, PA. He also attended the University of PA. He was president of his senior class, valedictorian, recipient of the Pearl Plafker Award (most outstanding student) and the J. Lewis Crozer Fellowship for graduate studies at Crozer. He graduated from Crozer in 1951 with a Bachelor of Divinity degree.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- He became an ordained minister in 1948 (age 19) at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA. and accepted the position of Assistant Pastor.
- He was assigned a calling as the pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, AL between 1954 – 1959.
- From 1957-1968 he was the Founder & President of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference & co-pastor with his father at Ebenezer.
- He was president of the Montgomery Improvement Association 1955-1956 & Vice President of the National Sunday School & Baptist Teaching Union Congress of the National Baptist Convention.
In 1948 he began his graduate studies in Systematic Theology at Boston University and simultaneously studied at Harvard University. He earned his Ph. D. degree, a Doctorate of Philosophy in Systematic Theology from Boston U. in 1955. His dissertation was titled ” A Comparison of God in the Thinking of Paul Tillich and Henry Wieman”. He has a long list of honorary degrees both nationally and internationally. His credentials, memberships, titles, accomplishments and acts are endless. They extend well beyond what most Americans know him for ( Civil Rights Movement).
His Christian principles were uncompromising in terms of the greater causes and good of society. His faith was one that did not include violence despite the deeply rooted frustration over the blatant unfairness and injustices practiced against him, his race and others in this country not so long ago. To add insult to injury he was living in a country wherein the majority of the population proclaimed proudly its adherence to Christian principles and morals. If you can say that a country has a soul, this was a volatile time when the United States was being ripped apart much like it had been when the idea of abolishing slavery was brought to the table. Once again America was forced to stare at itself in the mirror and witness, inspect and analyze some of the darkest and ugliest parts of its soul. The growing pains that accompany maturity and change seem insurmountable at times. Just to get society to see it was wrong was one impossible feat. The next step is to get society to admit it was wrong. It sounds simple on paper, but its as painful and traumatic as taking a scalpel to your body and then cutting down to your soul to expose the filthiest of thoughts and emotions without anesthesia. To expose these issues in a single soul is painful and blinding enough in the light, but to do it with an entire nation is unconscionable. These are parts of us we hadn’t been forced to bring to the surface for generations. They were so intertwined in every day life few people even viewed it as wrong much less un-Christian. To bring muck like this into the light causes third degree burns on the soul and mind. Growing pains hurt which is why they are called growing pains. This country should not have been able to survive the violence and division it endured when slavery was abolished or the terror, violence and division it endured when a minority group dared to challenge segregation, inequality, lower compensation, unfair employment practices, and more. America did survive and is surviving. We are indeed blessed by God despite our transgressions. We are a mighty nation and have the ability to continue to improve and grow. We must keep looking in the mirror and never allow the fear of what we might find to outweigh the faith we have in God’s forgiveness and society’s forgiveness along with the ability to change and survive the pain.
Many of the beneficiaries of this movement were some of the worst critics of the movement. In other words Civil Rights did not just benefit Black Americans. The benefits are still present in the work place for WOMEN of all races, Latinos, American Indians, East Indians, Arabs, all Asian races, the DISABLED and more. So many people lose sight of the fact that this movement touched all the corners of America because it was for all Americans who experienced discrimination on any level. The reason we walk into office buildings now and see women and diversity in a variety of positions beyond and including clerical staff is based on this Civil Rights Movement. Let us not forget this. Dr. Martin Luther King and the many unknown heroes paved the way for ALL of us.
The movement was funded by wealthy Black, White and Jewish Americans. Many White Americans peacefully marched, protested and died beside Black Americans. If there was not a large number of diverse Americans opposing Jim Crow laws and the like, the movement could have failed, given its many obstacles. Another factor that forced our politicians to take action was the fact that America was sprawled across the front pages of the European newspapers and other media sources. Europeans were witnessing and reading about the fire hose incidents and other violence imposed on the peaceful protesters. Their leaders were contacting our leaders and asking about the atrocities. The power of the voice of the people was set into motion.
Dr. Martin Luther King and others dared to expose the unexplored caves of America. One can only expect that when you force an entire country to look at itself naked in the mirror and measure itself against Biblical principles, you are bound to incite fear and terror which evolves quickly into violence and more hatred… initially. In other words, your life is on the line. The men and women of this movement knew this and sacrificed their lives and the lives of their families. They recognized a higher calling and saw the bigger picture for future generations. They were big enough to know it wasn’t about them.
We often think about the laws & rights which followed the Civil Rights Movement, but how many of us thank Dr. Martin Luther King and others for the wake up call of our own transgressions which we would have otherwise gladly taken to our graves and never sought forgiveness for discriminatory practices as the norm throughout much of our society? It was so deeply rooted in society and family structures that many did not consider it a sin or question it.
How many practices are currently part of our every day lives that we no longer ponder if they qualify as transgressions or sins? We have become so numb and desensitized in some areas of our every day lives. Let us never become so complacent that we lose the willingness and strength it takes to examine ourselves continually and make the necessary adjustments to remain in line with the same principles this country claims its foundation.
True Christians never claim perfection or a self righteousness. We simply acknowledge we will always have to live with the consequences of our past mistakes, faults, and sins as the sins we acknowledge & repent upon are eradicated. We promise to always take a good long hard look in the mirror at ourselves and recognize our flaws are too many in number for us to conquer without God’s continual intervention. We promise, that with God’s Hand in our lives, we will embrace, accept and show Christian love for every person on this planet regardless of race, color, creed, gender, sexual orientation, religion, belief, physical challenge, economic or social status, etc. We don’t have to agree, but we do have to love and therein is the challenge and call of every Christian.
Thank you Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and all of those who died and served for the greater cause of all of America. Your DREAM is our reality and we are still working on it. Fear followed by hatred and violence will always exist, but we don’t have to stand by idly and let it consume and rule us because we live in a great country called the United States of America.
WHERE DOES YOUR STATE RANK IN UNEMPLOYMENT? + VIRGINIA’s GOVERNOR
Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia is considered successful by the majority of the population in Virginia. Virginia’s unemployment rate is 6.8% at the most recent count. Look for your state and see where your state is ranked with relation to other states. Many of the lower unemployment rates are associated with sparsely populated states. Virginia is rather populated and that is the reason we are highlighting them and their governor. Governor McDonnell sports a low 26% disapproval rating and 57% approval rating.
Governor McDonnell is a Republican who won the 2009 election in a landslide against Democratic opponent Creigh Deeds. A position previously held by interim Governor Tim Kaine. Some argue that Virginia received $2.5 billion in stimulus money yet the Governor publicly bashed and stood against President Obama in signing the stimulus package. Every state benefited to some degree and the money was suppose to trickle down to various programs per state. We may not know the intricacies of why certain states are ranked where they are, but we know Virginia is doing well in terms of statistics. Even if some don’t fully agree with their politics, at least some of their decisions and methods must be correct and working in favor of the public.
- Best careers for college educated job seekers in Virginia are: General & Operations Managers Analysts Teachers Software Techs & Engineers
- Careers & jobs for high school & high school plus graduates are: Customer Service RN’s Sales Reps Retail Waiters/Waitresses & Cashiers

2010 NATIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT RATES AND CREATION OF JOBS NATIONWIDE
The national unemployment rate fell to 9.4% at the close of last year in December, 2010. The country experienced a gain of 103,000 jobs. There is a dilemma with these figures. Some say that while jobs are being created, there is also a faction of the unemployed population that is blending into the background of our society and they are becoming invisible. These are the people who no longer qualify for unemployment and have basically given up after two, three, four, five and more years without a job. We must also consider that portion of the population that is approaching retirement age and few to no employers are giving them any consideration.
Even though we didn’t create as many jobs as we wanted last month, there was a trade off in that unemployment was reduced in terms of rates more than anticipated by the experts. Experts wanted one hundred fifty thousand jobs to be created. We were short by forty seven thousand. The government had its share of lay offs and cut backs of approximately ten thousand workers. Nearly one and a half million Americans qualify as unemployed who are outside the radar range. In other words they have essentially given up looking for work.
We need to experience an increase of about 300,000 jobs for it to impact the labor rate. A job growth spurt of 150,000 only accounts for and balances out the newest members of our population (birth/immigration). The statistics reveal a total job loss of 8.5 million during this recession. Others argue a much higher number is more realistic ranging from fifteen to twenty million jobs lost. We enjoyed a gain of 1.1 million jobs in the entire year of 2010. 2010 proved to be the best year for hiring since 2007 when the recession began under the former administration. On average the last quarter of the year 2010 yielded job gains of 128,000 per month.
Overall although we’d all like to see a quick fix to the recession and unemployment, the statistics speak loud and clear that we are on the UPSWING in terms of the economy, the job market and the overall recession. We are climbing up and out of our ditch and that is great news. Again, it is slow but it appears rather steady. We have to begin looking at the plus side of all of this. This is a country that was still facing stagnant issues with collision of American & Russian satellites; North Korea launches a rocket which spawns a meeting of the United Nations Security Council; H1N1 virus reached epidemic proportions; Government takeover of GMC because of grave financial issues; American Samoas are hit by an 8.3 earthquake rendering total destruction;
Red River flooding in Fargo North Dakota; Mount Redoubt in Alaska errupts on several occasions; Tornados ripped through the midwest and south and in areas not typically affected by tornados;
Dubai asks for a deferment on their debt after it completed monumental renovations and other construction and development projects, as a result stock markets drop significantly world wide in every major market (11/2009); Effects of Hurricane Katrina still linger and people remain homeless, the BP Oil Spill (spring of 2010), The Afghan War, the Iraqi War, the call of duty and rapid response to the victims of a monumental earthquake in Haiti, entire countries are being bailed out of financial ruin by the European Union (we are not one of them because we are not part of the European Union)…
This is merely a handful of items and events that occurred in the last two years. Eventhough we faced all of these issues and so many more, we are still climbing upward despite our obstacles. What does that tell you about our nation?

HEALTH CARE WORKERS MANAGE TECHNOLOGY CHANGES
Staying informed on any job is important. Healthcare workers face additional pressure to remain educated and well versed on current procedures, changes in procedures, equipment, record keeping technology and so much more. Below is a list of ways for healthcare employees, healthcare supervisors, healthcare managers, healthcare executives, healthcare systems, healthcare groups, healthcare recruiters, healthcare educators and healthcare insurance workers to stay apprised of the many changes in their markets. Staying abreast of healthcare technology typically translates to thousands of lives being saved based on that latest technology. It doesn’t matter if you are a physician, surgeon, nurse practitioner, registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, chiropractor, surgical technologist, ultrasound technologist, sonographer, research scientist, x-ray technician, physical or occupational therapist, healthcare administrator, health information specialist, or a pharmacist. Your education never comes to a halt.
~ Read, research and read some more. If you find yourself at an airport with a laptop, research the latest changes in your field of study.
~If you are not the reading type, at least keep up with the schedules of meetings, seminars and conferences. Commit to attending at least one or two of these per year. Take notes and prepare to attend in advance by clearing it with your superiors. Try to attend those seminars which offer a certificate which you can add to your resume portfolio or personnel file.
~Confer with the most recent graduates in your field about how and what they have learned in school. Compare it to how and what you were taught. If it has been more than five years, there are probably changes in healthcare and other fields you have not even contemplated. Learn from the younger generation or recent graduates while training them in the areas you have mastered. Make the Best of your Service in your area of expertise.
~While learning about technology, you must also remain apprised of your organization’s budget. It may not always be feasible to take the next step in technology if the organization has broken even or suffers an economic loss. Know the course your facility has plotted for itself.
~Open up to your peers and other key figures in the organization about what you have learned. Devise a plan as to how you will present your latest findings. Make certain your presentation (formal or informal) includes a list of benefits in terms of your peers and in terms of the executives. Show a cost savings. If you are employed by a progressive employer, they will absorb your information and take it into consideration. Don’t just write off your employer. Your facility may have already invested in several other pieces of high tech. equipment in other various departments.
~Learn about the fiscal year in conjunction with budget releases. Learn who has the final say and speak with that person or persons before the budget money is released.
~Identify your needs as a department
~Are those needs being met by your current technology?
~What is your current technology (likely more than one item). Identify them all.
~Become familiar with everything that is available to you. The worst thing is when you try to present the need for a piece of equipment that the manager points out is already at your fingertips, but no one was willing to learn how to apply it because of the time involved in the “learning curve”. This occurs with software a great many times.
One of the major issues with healthcare technology is that it is costly and there is seldom a reduction of costs as it relates to high tech equipment over a long period of time. Home appliances, gadgets and other commercial industries always reduce the price of their latest technology after it has been on the market for a relatively short period of time.
The reduction continues year after year, but in healthcare that is rarely the case. It is important to remain well educated so that you and your team can cite the advantages of investing in a costly piece of equipment, software or procedure.

WHAT IS A DEMOCRAT?
“All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened. “ Maya Angelou
Our first political party blog was on the Tea Party then we addressed the Republicans and the difference between Independents and the Independence Party. Best Services presents this information in a non-partisan manner while we seek viable solutions to the economic & unemployment crisis. We do however encourage everyone to register to vote even if you do not believe your vote is getting you what you want.
Keep in mind voting is not always about getting WHAT YOU WANT. Voting tends to encompass a much stronger voice in that the act itself allows us to keep the rights we currently have. These are rights so many of us take for granted. Your vote does more for this country than you may ever realize. Remember it is not just about the very issue or individual you are voting on. Look beyond yourself & at the bigger picture. Please register to vote & then exercise your right to vote. Many Americans died for us to have this luxury.
“Democratic Party, USA The oldest democratic political party in the world. Known in the 1790s as the Democratic-Republican Party, Democrats split in 1860 over the questions of slavery and the US Civil War. It reunited after the Civil War, gaining support from the ever-expanding west and from the immigrant working classes of the industrialized north-east, while retaining the loyalty of the deep south. In the early twentieth century the party adopted many of the policies of the Progressive movement and its candidate for President, Woodrow Wilson, was elected in 1912. Although in eclipse during the 1920s, it re-emerged in the years of the Great Depression, with policies to end unemploymentand stimulate industry. It captured both Congress and the Presidency, with Franklin D. Roosevelt the only President to have been elected four times. Since then the Democratic Party has tended to dominate the House of Representatives and has generally held the Senate as well, supporting civil rights, social welfare, and Third World aid.
Following the civil rights movement and desegregation in the 1950s and 1960s, the Democratic Party lost much of its support from the Dixiecrat southern states…” http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O46-DemocraticPartyUSA.html

“The Democratic Party is one of two major contemporary political parties in the United States, along with the Republican Party. The party’s modern liberal platform is largely considered center-left in the U.S. political spectrum.[5][6][7] It is one of the world’s oldest political parties and boasts the lengthiest record of continuous operation in the United States. The party contains the most registered voters of any political organization in the world as of 2004, with 72 million voters.[8][9] Polls taken over the last decade indicate that roughly 35% of American voters self identify as Democrats.[10]
Since the 2006 general elections, the Democratic Party has been the majority party in both the House of Representatives and the United States Senate. Democrats also hold a majority of state governorships and control a majority of state legislatures. Barack Obama, the current President of the United States, is the 15th Democrat to hold the office…
…Historically, the party has favored farmers, laborers, labor unions, and religious and ethnic minorities; it has opposed unregulated business and finance, and favored progressive income taxes. In foreign policy, internationalism (including interventionism) was a dominant theme from 1913 to the mid-1960s. In the 1930s, the party began advocating welfare spending programs targeted at the poor…” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)

TEA PARTY: “A community committed to standing together, shoulder to shoulder, to protect our country and the Constitution upon which we were founded!” (http://teapartypatriots.ning.com/). “The name “Tea Party” is a reference to the Boston Tea Party, whose principal aim was to protest taxation without representation.[4][5] Tea Party protests have sought to evoke images, slogans and themes from the American Revolution, such as tri-corner hats and yellow Gadsden “Don’t Tread on Me” flags.[2][6] The letters T-E-A have been used by some protesters to form the backronym “Taxed Enough Already” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_protests)
“The Tea Party protests are a series of protests across the United States beginning in early 2009; see List of Tea Party protests, 2009. The protests are part of a nascent, larger anti-tax political movement called the Tea Party movement.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_protests)
“ In 2009, the modern Tea Party movement got underway shortly after President Barack Obama took office and he and House Democrats subsequently passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 without a single Republican vote. The stimulus act became law in February…” http://usconservatives.about.com/od/glossaryterms/a/Tea-Party.htm
“A new grassroots phenomenon is sweeping the nation — Tax Day Tea Parties. One of the leading sponsoring organizations, the American Family Association (AFA), has announced on its website that AFA TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party Day rallies on April 15 are now scheduled in 1,837 cities. Meanwhile, the originators of the Tax Day Tea Party concept at taxdayteaparty.com list hundreds of Tea Parties scheduled for April 15…” http://thenewamerican.com/usnews/election/974

What events led up to the Boston Tea Party?http://www.ushistory.org/carpentershall/history/faq.htm
Also in 1773, Parliament granted a monopoly on tea shipments to the East India Company, then nearly bankrupt. The Company, which did business only with Loyalist merchants, undercut other merchants, even smugglers. John Hancock, one of the country’s richest men and most threatened by the new tea policy, helped instigate the Boston Tea Party (December 17) when 150 men, dressed as Mohawk Indians, dumped the tea cargo of three ships into Boston harbor. The East India Company was holding a seven-year surplus of tea from India and could be financially ruined if it was not sold.
Why was a general assembly of the colonies called? http://www.ushistory.org/carpentershall/history/faq.htm
In 1774, as a consequence of the Tea Party, Parliament passed a series of bills defending the remaining tea tax of the Townshend Acts, closed the port of Boston and nullified the charter of Massachusetts.”…

Remember clubs & organizations don’t want to attract unstable or temporary (flip-flop) members anymore than you want to be aligned with a group that fails to represent the majority of your thoughts, interests or beliefs. No one is perfect and no organization is perfect. If you are seeking perfection, it is unrealistic because you will not find it. Assure that any group or organization is appealing to your passions, whether it is based in faith, a hobby, a sport, a profession, a political party, etc.

WHAT IS A REPUBLICAN? (Independents Too) A RECRUITERS JOB BLOG
“Only free men can negotiate; prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.” Nelson Mandela
We have covered the Tea Party, Democrats & now Republicans. You may have decided or you may decide not to join any particular political party while still exercising your right to vote. People who have no political affiliation are known as Independents, “non-partisan” or “decline-to-state” voters.
Being an Independent in the above context is not the same as being a member of the AMERICAN INDEPENDENT PARTY, though many voters make this mistake. These are two very different concepts which is why “non-partisan” or “decline-to-state” voters is more suitable for an Independent who has no intention of joining any party.

REPUBLICAN: (courtesy of Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)
“…The Republican Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States, along with the Democratic Party. Founded by anti-slavery expansion activists in 1854, it is often called the Grand Old Party or the GOP, despite being the younger of the two major parties. The party’s platform is generally considered right of center in the U.S. political spectrum.
The Republican Party has the second most registered voters as of 2004 with 55 million, encompassing roughly one-third of the electorate.[1] Republicans currently fill a minority of seats in both the United States Senate and the House of Representatives, hold a minority of state governorships, and control a minority of state legislatures.
Founded in northern states in 1854 by anti-slavery activists, modernizers, ex-Whigsand ex-Free Soilers, the Republican Party quickly became the principal opposition to the dominant Democratic Party.[2][3] It first came to power in 1860 with the election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency; it presided over the American Civil War and Reconstruction.[4]
The first official party convention was held on July 6, 1854 in Jackson, Michigan. The Republicans’ initial base was in the Northeast and Midwest and the party solidified its position as the second party with the nomination of John C. Fremont in the 1856 Presidential election. Early Republican ideology was reflected in the 1856 slogan “free labor, free land, free men.”[5] “Free labor” referred to the Republican belief in a mobile middle class that left the workforce and set up small businesses. “Free land” referred to Republican opposition to slave labor. The Party had the goal of containing the expansion of slavery, which would cause the collapse of the Slave Power and the expansion of freedom.[6] Lincoln, representing the fast-growing western states, won the Republican nomination in 1860 and subsequently won the presidency. The party took on the mission of saving the Union and destroying slavery during the American Civil War and over Reconstruction. In the election of 1864, it united with pro-war Democrats to nominate Lincoln on the National Union Partyticket…” (end of Wikipedia’s quotes)
WHAT DOES GOP STAND FOR? It is an acronym-nickname for the Republican Party and has taken on various forms with everything from 1875 – Gallant Old Party later it became Grand Old Party.
REPUBLICAN symbol is the: ELEPHANT
DEMOCRAT symbol is the: DONKEY

WHAT IS THE GREEN PARTY?
“Everything on the earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission. This is the Indian theory of existence.” – Mourning Dove [Christine Quintasket] (1888-1936) Salish
America has created choices and options for Americans. We need to cherish this about our great nation. If voting does nothing else, it certainly promotes and provides stability to the rights and choices we currently have. We should never grow lax in our political, social, professional or personal responsibilities to ourselves, our family & to society.
Many of our choices effect everything from government to business to our personal lives. To date we have briefly addressed the Tea & Republican Parties. We will follow with the Libertarian and Democratic Parties. There seems to be some conflicting information with regard to WHEN the Green Party began. We have provided various links so you can see the differences of opinion with regard to when it was initiated. Nevertheless, we do not believe it has any bearing on the core mission of the Green Party, its values or standards.

http://www.gp.org/history.shtml
http://people.howstuffworks.com/green-party2.htm
The information below is courtesy of http://www.greenparty.org/intro.php
“…Past:As the article above explains, the United States Green movement began 20 years ago with the Green Committees of Correspondence (GCoC), founded in August 1984. The GCoC did not represent any one political philosophy; generally, however, it emphasized activism, education, and community organizing over electoral politics. Looking critically at the American politic system, the majority of the GCoC felt that until much grassroots organizing had been done-as an early Green pamphlet put it, until there were “active Green groups in every neighborhood and town in the country”-a Green electoral party could be no more than symbolic. These early Greens also envisioned the Green movement as working for a radical, overall change in American society, not just reforms. The organizational form adopted to reach this goal was a network of dues paying members, grouped in multi-state Regions and connected through a national Clearinghouse.
By the beginning of the 1990s, however, some Greens were becoming impatient with the GCoC’s strategy of radical, slow, long-term organizing. These Greens-mostly members of the GCoC-called for the immediate creation of state Green parties, and some for a national Green party. Because of this, two factions began to compete inside the GCoC. One, a “movement” faction, supported the GCoC’s original strategy of activism and community organizing; the other, a “party” faction, called for a turn to electoral politics. In 1990, state Green parties were organized in Alaska and California. In 1991, in order to resolve the conflict between movement and party factions, the name of the GCoC was changed to The Greens/Green Party USA (TG/GPUSA). Organizationally, this meant that The Greens would remain an activist (“movement”) party based on dues paying members, but that it would include a place for the affiliation of state Green parties.
In 1996, several state Green parties came together to form the Association of State Green Parties (NASGP) outside The Greens/Green Party USA. In 2000, Ralph Nader was nominated by the NASGP as a Green presidential candidate; his campaign was also endorsed by TG/GPUSA. In July 2001, the NASGP changed its name to the Green Party of the United States (GPUS).
Present:As a result of the above history, there are two Green parties in the US today. One, The Greens/Green Party USA traces its beginning to 1984. The other, the Green Party of the United States, can trace its roots to the formation of the ASGP in 1996, and is essentially a split of more politically conventional Greens from the GCoC and TG/GPUSA. This year, the GPUS is running David Cobb as its candidate for pres ident; Ralph Nader is running as an independent; and at the recent Green Congress in Chicago, The Greens/Green Party USA reaffirmed it commitment to the mission of the original American Greens, long-term activist organizing for true democracy and a Green society. Such a vision of radical hope is one of the most valuable resources any party can offer society…”

WHAT IS A LIBERTARIAN?
“If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.” C. S. Lewis
We have blogged a little about the Tea Party, Democratic Party, Republican Party, Green Party & now the Libertarian Party. As stated previously, politics effect health care, business, education, recruiting, marketing, economics & unemployment.
DID YOU KNOW WOMEN WERE GRANTED THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN 1920 AFTER A LONG BATTLE IN THE U.S.A.?
LIBERTARIAN: THE PARTY of PRINCIPLE (Smaller Government * Lower Taxes * More Freedom)
Libertarians believe in a multi dimensional political view (as opposed to liberal vs. conservative). Libertarians support the guiding principle of “mutual respect for rights”. In other words, Person (A) has control over his own life until that control infringes upon Person (B)’s ability to control Person (B)’s own life.
Below statements are courtesy of Wikipedia:
“…The Libertarian Party is a United States political party founded on December 11, 1971.[1] In the 30 states where voters can register by party there are over 225,000 voters registered with the Libertarian Party, making it the third largest of America’s parties.[2] Hundreds of Libertarian candidates have been elected or appointed to public office, and thousands have run for office under the Libertarian banner.[3]
The political platform of the Libertarian Party reflects that group’s particular brand of libertarianism, favoring minimally regulated, laissez-faire markets, strong civil liberties, minimally regulated migration across borders, and non-interventionism in foreign policy that respects freedom of trade and travel to all foreign countries…”[4]
FAMOUS LIBERTARIANS: Dean Koontz, Ray Bradbury, Clint Eastwood, Bruce Willis and Green Day’s front man, Billie Joe Armstrong (for more celebrities click here: http://ucllibertarians.com/celebrities.html)

CANCER, PAIN & ALLERGY CURES ON THE HORIZON IN HEALTH CARE?
Following a six week project involving the collection of octopus species, 4 new species of octopi have recently been identified. They came from Antarctica. Two new types of venom have also been discovered within these species. The venom is unusual because it is effective in sub-zero temperatures. This caught the attention of researchers who believe the venom MIGHT serve as a source to manage and/or cure of pain, allergies and cancer.

SIDE BAR: BP CEO steps down or over? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_gulf_oil_spill
Needless to say research is a long process so nothing is etched in stone to date, but it gives us hope. Keep in mind, for a myriad of reasons, it takes even longer for the U.S.A. to secure approval from the F.D.A. for the distribution and administering of drugs/pharmaceuticals. It serves as a positive sign nevertheless.
CEPHALOPOD: Is a marine mollusk which has a fully developed head, eyes and suction-cup-like tentacles. It is usually without a skeletal structure.
INVERTEBRATE: Animal without a backbone.
OCTOPUS:Falls into the category of a cephalopod. We know of approximately 300 different species in this category.
Octopi are thought to:
be the most intelligent of the invertebrates
be usually fond of coral reefs
emit ink for disguise
change color for camouflage
have 2 eyes
4 pairs of arms
have the ability to squeeze into tight spots because of the absence of bone structure
VENOM:All species of octopi are venomous, but to date the tropical based Blue-ringed octopus releases the only venom known to be lethal to humans. These latest venom discoveries contain a variety of toxins, as does all venom. However, there are two new toxins in this most recent venom never recognized before. There are also new proteins in the venom which researchers say may contain additional keys toward strides in medicine and health care. The venom from the Blue-ringed octopus (tropical type which can be deadly to humans) is being compared since it most resembles the venom of the newer species.
This causes us to pause and consider the countless species which are being destroyed in and around the Gulf from the oil spill. Species matter because they have their own value in and apart from the human race. It also is important to secure their safety and future because we are charged with these duties on this planet. If those persepctives aren’t convincing, then from a survival standpoint, every species serves a purpose to the environment and therefore to us since we exist in this enviro0nment. It is a difficult and sometimes an impossible balancing act as our desire and drive to take leaps and bounds in technology often time overshadow or outweigh the risk and possibilities we face in destroying or maiming ourselves and the environment. We begin thinking in terms of money, investments, greed, wealth, the economy, etc. & pretty soon we have rationalized ourselves right into a hazardous-high-risk endeavor.
We risk this in every stride we take on the technological front. We have done it with nuclear plants, automobiles, pesticides and more as the debates continue on their degree of value, productivity, effectiveness, danger, risk, ability to create jobs, long term and short term effects on health and the environment. So much is invested in determining whether or not the introduction of something new into our society will benefit us more than harm us. All of these factors are taken into consideration before decisions are made to move forth with a product, service, process or program.
Something somewhere and somehow will suffer from every stride we make mechanically, biologically, economically & environmentally. It is impossible to invent and remain creative without facing a consequence on the other side. If we halted every invention from the beginning of time because something suffered as a result of that invention, we would enjoy very few inventions and creature comforts today. This is not to suggest that our duties and obligations can be thrown to the wayside. It is essential we maintain an awareness of the balance of life as we move forward as a society in our exploration and development of new ideas.
This is a prime example of the fact that many of our answers are right in front of us, but we wonder how many times we “miss the boat” because of human error, lack of focus in the proper direction, and our overall destructive behavior as humans at times.
Most of us think cancer would be our primary concern, then pain then allergies. Last evening we learned about a young boy who suffers from extreme food allergies to the extent he is limited to a diet of pork. Literally everything he eats places his life in danger from getting rashes, to hives, to his esophagus swelling, asthma, nausea, vomiting and more. He has to be fed intravenously daily to assure certain nutrients are being absorbed by his body. Can any of us imagine a diet of pork. The interesting thing was he looked healthy and he was extremely agile and athletic with a wonderful spirit. We always thought allergies were limited to a select few food groups. Although this little boy’s case is rare, it is something to consider as carrying a higher degree of importance than what we may have thought. We hope for some relief through these latest findings with this venom.

IS THERE HOPE EVEN WHEN YOUR WORST FEARS COME TO LIFE?
Every where we turn and every thing we turn on or read (television, radio, newspapers, magazines) spews mayhem, turmoil, confusion, destruction, chaos and failure. It doesn’t matter if we are talking about celebrities or the family down the street. We see real families and real people with real problems that have no easy solutions.
Programs showing foreclosures, evictions, bankruptcies, and continual visits to the food banks are on the rise. One program followed a gentleman trying to get a job day after day after day after day. He was down to offering his labor at $5.00 an hour and he still couldn’t find work. The cameras only showed up in his life two years AFTER he had been unemployed with no benefits remaining.
It is disheartening. It is earth shattering to the people who are going through it first hand.
There is a drastic shift in attitudes too. This is evidenced by the many reality television series and their cold and callus remarks and treatment toward one another. Sometimes even the format or basis of the show is cruel. They are successful because it is appealing to much of society to watch the destruction or train wreck unfold before our eyes whether it is real or staged. It has gotten to the point we don’t view it as abnormal.
On the upside, a recent top 10 movie rating list included more family oriented movies making the list, which is very unusual. Perhaps people are thirsting for a more positive form of entertainment for their children and themselves.
Are we equipped to handle the kind of challenges and struggles many of us are facing and some of us will face? How many of us have what it takes deep down inside to withstand losing your home, material possessions, social & economic status? Those who can survive this have an inner strength & courage that surpasses the average individual.
The people who have to walk miles just for a bucket of water, which may or may not be clean by our standards, appear at times to exhibit far more grace and calm than those of us who have very little to complain about in comparison. This brings to mind the saying which loosely states that the higher you go the harder the impact on the ground when you fall. Did we climb so high as a nation technologically & economically that any disruption in that climb causes us to be knocked off our ladders in an instant?
How stable are we as a nation if we can be rocked so easily? Just being dropped a level or two economically can take the air out of your lungs and cause your heart to race while the butterflies set in to your stomach. We are effected deeply and in those moments it doesn’t much matter whether or not a starving-person in Ethiopia would love to have our “problems”. (Ok it matters but not as much as it should).
Have we become so busy that quality time with our children is a rarity and has to be forced into our schedules some how? By quality time I mean sitting down with no tv, ipod, laptop, or cell phone interruptions. Having a face-to-face discussion about their life that lasts more than a half hour regularly would qualify as quality time.
How many families eat dinner together at a dining room table with the entire family 90% of the time? How many marriages stood a greater chance if both people shared their dreams, struggles, failures, faith, victories and concerns with one another?
The solace we find is that we feel everything happens for a reason even the bad and the ugly. Droves of religious scholars and leaders contend that society has gotten so successful & busy. Our first order of business was to place our spiritual health and welfare on the back-burner. No matter your faith, for those members of society who have some type of faith, many live life with God tucked away in our pocket. We call on God only in trouble like a lucky charm when in fact we should be in God’s pocket waiting for Him to call on us & we should always be conversing with God.
Is it really failure if the loss of your job provided you the opportunity to spend time with loved ones? Some would say yes because they have lost “everything” (material) in the process including a roof over their head. None of us know the end of our life story and for that reason a glimmer of hope must be allowed and encouraged to live in all of us. We can’t grasp the full impact any one life has or had on this planet. We have to begin to ask ourselves the really tough questions. What if the worst case scenario unfolds in my life (the fears that trump all other fears)? Do I still have some peace, some sense that even then it will be ok? We have to get to a point where we answer yes.
Find your HOPE. It might not be through religion, but we urge you to find it nevertheless.

FORECLOSURE PROCESS
FORECLOSURE: Is a legal process wherein a lender secures a termination of the borrower’s right & ability to redeem or take possession of his or her “own” property up to the the time/date of the foreclosure sale of that property by paying the outstanding debt of the mortgage in full. This termination must be court ordered.

WE ARE ADDING A COPY OF A COMMENT FROM ONE OF VALUED READERS BY THE NAME OF KENDRA CAPUTO (SEE THE IS IT A SCAM? BLOG ARTICLE FOR HER COMMENTS)
You all may want to add this to your foreclosure blog too. Just a thought.
This is a great site like all the others including yours. These people specialize in scams.

Beware! Don’t pay upfront fees to modify a delinquent mortgage loan
Millions of Americans are behind or facing problems with their mortgages. Companies offering help but, sometimes, for a fee. Mortgage modification ads appear all over TV & the internet but are the services helpful? If they are asking for a fee up front, ..walk away! ..hang up the phone!
Questionable pyramid scheme takes advantage of consumers.
Companies steal from your bank account. Find out how.
Thank You Ms. Kendra
*****************************************END ADDENDUM********************************************
Lenders pursue this avenue because there is no guarantee that the lender can repossess the property provided the borrower always has the ability to pay before the sale occurs. This ability to pay the owed debt in full is known as equitable right of redemption.
PROCESS: By missing one mortgage payment everyone and anyone is exposed to foreclosure. It may not be typical, but it can happen and has happened. Most lenders allow two to three months of missed payments with a series of reminder then warning letters that follow demanding you pay what is owed.
At this stage you have an opportunity to contact the lender and pay what is past due in full and nothing more should occur, but there is always a possibility that more COULD happen. This could reflect on your credit report & more.
WHAT IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY?
If you don’t have the money to cover your mortgage, it is suggested you speak with a housing counselor to assist you with the process. Sometimes terms can be worked out. The longer you wait the less opportunity you have for the lender to grant any degree of flexibility. Ideally, you should really discuss your mortgage issues with the lender prior to missing a payment. The lender is not obligated to be flexible on the terms of your agreement.
Usually after the 3rd month is missed on the mortgage payment, your lender will send you a DEMAND LETTER or a NOTICE TO ACCELERATE that lists your total amount due. You usually have thirty days to come up with the funds in full, including late fees.
Usually by the 4th month the lender will involve its attorneys. You are responsible for the lender’s attorney fees which will be added on to the amount you already owe. You will likely receive another DEMAND LETTER from the attorney giving you one more opportunity to pay your mortgage, late fees and attorney fees.
If you do not adhere to the terms at this stage the bank or lender will usually file a formal FORECLOSURE NOTICE with the court known as a NOTICE OF DEFAULT and it serves as a formal record with the court revealing the total amount you owe and need to pay.
You usually have about 20 to 30 days to respond prior to further progression of the foreclosure process.
You will receive a NOTICE OF SALE if you were unable to honor the above conditions in full. The Notice of Sale reveals the scheduled date of sheriff’s auction. Your house is formally schedule to be sold at an auction. Most states set the date out two to three months. In some cases if you are able to pay the debt in full, you can prevent the sheriff’s sale, but there are no guarantees.
WARNING: Many people are unaware that if they owe taxes, homeowners association fees, or any other liens against the property, real estate or house that they their home could go into foreclosure. People have lost their homes even when they have kept up with mortgage payments, because they neglected to pay or missed paying a smaller fee, lien, or debt.
In some cases even after the sale of a home, people have regained their home by paying what was owed in the original Demand Letter + Attorney Fees + Any & All Expenses associated with the Foreclosure Process & Sale of the Home. This is known as the REDEMPTION PERIOD (if one exists).
All experts say that communication is the key right from the start. Maintaining communication with your bank or lending institution is vital throughout the entire process. Despite what it may seem like the financial institutions or lenders don’t enjoy foreclosing, because there is typically a loss incurred whether that be in time & labor or direct monetary costs.
STAY IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR LENDER. This is a painful process and it takes its toll, but there are ways to manage set backs and short term failures and there are ways to mismanage these same challenges. Remain mature. This is easier said than done as emotions mount.
Tap into whatever outlets you have during this time. Some people have been distanced from their faith and it is only through a loss of a job, home or some other tragic loss that they are driven to reconnect. Do so immediately. Other people use other outlets. Whatever helps you to maintain your sanity connect and continue to connect with it provided it is positive, healthy & not harmful to you or any one else physically, psychologically, mentally, spiritually & emotionally. Allow this to be a time of reflection. Rejoice in the trials, as odd as it seems. Some people we spoke to said after the heartache of it all, one day they woke up and realized just how free they were. They hadn’t fully grasped the gravity and stress their mortgage brought to them over the years.
In America we are blessed with shelters and other types of housing. Remember no matter your financial gain, loss or ruin we all contain value, worth and importance in this world. How we chose to honor and exhibit those traits is our responsibility even in the midst of the most horrific trials. It will take redefining priorities from a secular world to a world with far deeper spiritual meaning than social, economic or political status wrought with titles.
From time to time all of us should ask ourselves; Who would we be if and when we lose our job, our home, our cars, any and all sources of income, investments, savings, checking accounts, credit, and more? Who are we really when all these things are stripped from us? Do we carry some weight? Do we have substance beyond what we have allowed the secular world to define us as with little to no protest from any one of us? What is our essence? Who are we at our very core?
For those of us who believe in the Hereafter, this question is especially important because it is all that we will be taking with us. So if you are an empty soul without all of these worldly items, titles, functions, status, vanity and more, its never too late to develop your depth beyond these secular distractions.
No matter what any one of us is facing in this life, we offer the reality of hope in your darkest thoughts. Where that hope leads you is up to you but we strongly urge every individual facing an insurmountable challenge, obstacle, loss or failure to open their hearts in silence to something more. Ask the burning & painful questions & leave no stone unturned then just be silent with an open heart & soul.
We don’t have the answers for what this country is facing and what is brewing and has been brewing for a very long time, but we can offer our services to help all people, all businesses and all organizations with their professional needs in some capacity.
As far as foreclosure is concerned, we are not real estate attorneys and we are not experts in the real estate industry. Therefore this blog article serves as a view of what COULD happen. We urge and encourage every home owner facing this process to consult with an attorney, if plausible and/or a housing counselor before missing even your first mortgage payment. Always consult with an expert before making a decision or taking action on your property.

U.S. TROOPS COMING HOME? IRAQ WAR VS AFGHANISTAN WAR
42% of Americans said the war was worth fighting.
55% of Americans said it was not worth fighting the Iraq War.
Certainly everyone has heard by now that President Obama is working to bring an end to the Iraq War by sending approximately 90,000 troops home. HOWEVER many journalist argue there is merely a shift of troops from Iraq to Afghanistan. It may or may not be the same troops in some cases. Below is a chart of numbers which reveals an overall relief for troops in the range of 30,000 after calculating the Afghan shift. This chart should help you see what so many articles will speak about, but we are not certain how simple it will be to decipher as we believe it is as shown below. These figures are comprised of numbers released by the White House and other sources.
January 2009: 144,000 troops in Iraq 33,000 troops in Afghanistan TOTAL = 177,000
July 2010: 81,000 troops in Iraq 87,000 troops in Afghanistan TOTAL = 169,000
September 2010: 50,000 troops in Iraq 96,000 troops in Afghanistan TOTAL = 146,000
These do not reflect the number of troops who are deployed throughout the world in support of either the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, but are stationed in neighboring countries or in nations which have some political association, serve as a potential threat &/or are threatened by the forces America is fighting.
The 50,000 remaining troops in Iraq are intended to be more peace keeping-training for Iraqis-protect US civilians-overseeing equipment transfers & more. Needless to say counterterrorism is a given on this list too. By the end of next year all American troops are suppose to be completely out of Iraq per a previous agreement between former President Bush & the Iraqis.
The deadline to begin remove troops from Iraq was mentioned as August 31, 2010 early on in this recent presidency. As U.S. controlled bases lose their U.S. troops, Iraqi troops are expected to assume control and begin rebuilding their social, political and economic structures.
Back in February of 2008 the 48% of Americans believed that pulling out of Iraq would drastically effect the U.S. economy for the better. 20% are have said to believe it would help to some degree. 43 % said increased spending on health care, education, & housing programs would benefit the economy considerably. 36% werein favor of cutting taxes in order to improve the economy.
Wars no longer produce jobs the way they use to because our technology is different and we have grown accustomed to & overly dependent upon outsourcing. As a result the average American is no longer able to see the benefit or actually benefit economically from wars as it stands now.
Cost of war in Iraq has been estimated at $2billion per week as far back as 2008 and 2006. It is said we have spent $1.25trillion dollars since the start of the war. This does not include figures for Afghanistan. Keep in mind the war grows more costly as time goes on and this does not even address the cost of life which is impossible to place a number on the life of a loved one. As of 2010 it is expected that we will have spent a total of $3.2trillion total for both Iraq and Afghanistan. We wanted to post death tolls, but we can’t seem to confirm conclusive and accurate figures as the U.S. & Iraq are in disagreement about July 2010′s calculations from Iraq about their death toll.

This comes as a result of solar eruptions on the sun on August 1st, 2010. Below is a list of some recent activity on the sun on or around 8/1/2010:
- Solar Tsunami http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moreton_wave
- Large Scale Shaking of the Solar Corona
- Radio Bursts
- Coronal Mass Ejection
- C3-Class Solar Flare
This does not encompass all the activity. The Aurora Borealis (also known as the Northern Lights) will produce much more activity than usual for those in higher altitudes. Some experts say others who don’t typically have a view of the Aurora phenomena may be able to see something in the sky tonight. The east coast of the United States may have some visible proof this evening, 8/3/10.
SOLAR FLARE: Piercing every layer of the solar atmosphere, it is described as a massive explosion in the sun’s atmosphere. It has the ability to emit 6×10 to the 25th power Joules of Energy.
3 LAYERS: There are three layers to the sun’s atmosphere.
- PHOTOSPHERE
- CORONA
- CHROMOSPHERE
Plasma is heated to multiple ten millions of kelvins while electrons, protons & even weightier ions are forced to reach speeds near or at the speed of light. Radiation is produced affecting the electromagnetic spectrum at all levels of wave lengths (radio waves, gamma rays…).
WHAT CAUSES A FLARE?
A flare is generated by the quickened emission of magnetic energy housed in the corona. When it is extremely powerful, such as this recent one, it further produces a coronal mass ejection. (the initial source of the energy comes from opposing magnetic fields being combined in the same area)
HOW HOT IS A KELVIN?
Zero Kelvin is the equivalent of minus 273.15 degrees Celsius. 0 Kelvin = -273.15. Zero Kelvin is the temperature at which molecules have no kinetic energy. It is known as absolute zero.
TEMPERATURE SCALE BELOW
WATER BOILS AT 212* Fahrenheit = 100* Celcius = 373 Kelvin
WATER FREEZES AT 32* Fahrenheit = 0* Celcius = 273 Kelvin
WHAT IS A CORONAL MASS EJECTION?
A coronal mass ejection consists of plasma produced by electron, protons, helium, iron, oxygen and a magnetic field which is the combined plasma material that is emitted from the solar corona. It appears as a white-light in a coronagraph.
CORONAGRAPH: A coronagraph is a telescope style piece of equipment which allows scientists to see more than or beyond just the bright glare of the sun or a star, thereby causing other objects to come into focus. This device came about in 1930.
WARNING: THIS COULD ADVERSELY EFFECT COMPUTERS, CELLULAR PHONES AND MORE FROM 8/3/10 to 8/4/10!
(1) Thanks to one of our clients, we have been provided some You Tube Feed of past Aurora Borealis effects. Please enjoy & be sure to thank Claudia for the contribution. Claudia’s Submission: NORTHERN LIGHTS – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7kqueltv00&NR=1
(2) Thanks to one of our readers, we have been provided some additional updates and helpful information with the credited site. Please enjoy & be sure to thank Lorraine for her contribution. Lorraine’s Submission: ADDITIONAL SOLAR FLARE ACTIVITY - “Geomagnetic Storm Watch for Thursday – An aurora watch is in effect for the next 24-48 hours as another Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is expected to sweep past earth on Thursday. This explosion was caused by a large filament disappearance on Sunday which took place after the initial C3 Solar Flare. There is a chance for Major Geomagnetic Storming should the CME impact Earths geomagnetic field.” link http://www.solarcycle24.com/

Professional blogging and website content are a part of what we offer at Best Services. Read some of our blogs at www.BestServicesOnline.com and you will see why we consider our blogs an asset to our firm’s operations.
Our writer has all the attributes of a professional blogger
Open -minded: Knows no limitations and can use and adopt any specific style you desire
Curious: Wants to understand the why and how of things
Humble: Not eager to show off or brag about their talent or take credit for things requiring research
Perseverance: A professional blogger is someone that strongly believes, beyond factual evidence, that today’s news media technologies offer an opportunity to any one to provide useful, entertaining and at times self- sustainable content
Responsible: Taking responsibility for one’s own actions and mistakes while acknowledging them in the open is one of the most valuable traits a professional in any field should have
Picky: Blogging doesn’t mean that you always need to favor one side or sacrifice spontaneity for quality writing and proper grammar. A professional blogger will always take the time to spell check, review and check in detail his/her formatted article before submitting it for approval or publishing it directly online.
Committed: Bloggers that are only after the money, last only for a short while. Unless your would-be pro-blogger has a bigger cause and motive behind his/her interest for writing and reporting, you are going to find yourself short-handed when you most need it.
Passionate: Passion is the desire to really do what one likes and wants to do the most
Professional: Precise, timely, attentive to details
Skilled: Real-Time Collaborator-Professional bloggers today need to have easy access to their virtual newsrooms wherever they are
Honest: Some bloggers may mislead & sell you an embellished picture of themselves in order to exaggerate who they truly are versus the honest & talented new media writers that are passionate about their work & lean more toward “doing” rather than light and petty “talking”. Taking credit for something you haven’t done or which you’ve contributed only a small part is so easy to do today. It has gotten to the point where you can’t decipher the honest pros from the presumptuous deceivers anymore. Beware!
Open to Listen Those who can watch and listen with an open-mind will learn a lot.
We offer our blogging services at a very reasonable price. We are offering a special discount for the months of August & September. Our offers are based on monthly, quarterly and annual affordability. Please contact me at 770-832-9178 or toll free 1-877-571-3918 for a free consultation.

JOIN OUR DISCUSSIONS BY LEAVING A COMMENT (CLICK ON “COMMENT” AFTER THE LIST OF TAG WORDS)
AMERICA’S PASSION, OBAMA VACATION, U.S.A. ECONOMIC STATUS
There is a lot of buzz about the First Lady, Michelle Obama, taking a vacation to Spain. Everyone has heard every comment that could possibly be made about the matter from good to bad to indifferent. Many argue it was her own money so she can do what she wants. Others say that secret service still cost a pretty penny, not to mention the cost of Air Force One. We also heard arguments that no other First Lady’s travel plans have been scrutinized to this degree & the retort is to continue to do wrong things can’t be justified by past behavior of prior First Ladies. Everyone presents a good argument. What we find so fascinating is the degree of passion that fuels these statements from all sides of the table through the major Internet social networks.
People are angry, defensive & frustrated. It doesn’t seem to matter if they are for or against President Obama. There is just a lot of anger in the air. We witnessed an entire trail of commentary about this subject and when it was all said and done, it left a massive pocket of emptiness. People shared their opinions & in the end things remained the same. Our favor is with the re-ignition of the economy, building bridges between vast differences, & solving problems. Everyone agrees our issues MUST be resolved.
It’s become increasingly difficult for people to maintain focus in a proactive & progressive manner when the political, economical & social climates have been so drastically polarized. We believe in being passionate. The difficulty is balancing passion against deconstructive behavior & thought.
One thing all Americans should keep in mind is that we are all full of an equal amount of fire & fury. How we convey that fire & fury is a testament to our maturity, understanding & acceptance of each other. This country was not built by a group of laid back impassioned people. Instead it was built & established by overly aggressive & passionate risk takers who were successful in their insurmountable attempts at reaching their goals. Admittedly those characteristics worked in their favor during the construction of this current nation. That passion must be harnessed properly & we should look to them as an example of what we are truly capable of as a nation.
It doesn’t take but fifteen seconds to become entrenched in a boiling argument with a total stranger over a subject that’s near & dear to our hearts. We are being pushed further apart than we’ve been in a long time. Is there anyone at the controls, at the helm of all of this? Is there a benefit to keeping us so incredibly polarized and literally despising one another based on bipartisanship while our economy fails to receive the nourishment it so desperately needs?
How can we merge our efforts & dampen our conflicting views to serve a greater cause? What group or organization can we turn to to assure that their personal agenda does not override the greater goal of the members who support it? Can anyone be trusted anymore? How do we take this terrific energy, a ball of pure heart-felt passion from all the varying view points & redirect it so that it is a positive force that cannot be challenged by anyone?
It seems the American people lost trust in the system. Certain sectors of the population feel completely alienated when one group tries to rally people around it. Many are jilted and fearful of potential underlying motives & subtle personal agendas of various groups based on experience.
Every American pretty much agrees the country can benefit from generating new long term permanent jobs. That’s the easy part. Now how do we create these jobs? What sectors would generate the most jobs with the most diversity in skill level and pay scale? Its confusing. We’ll say it again. At the end of the day, we want the same basic things. Let none of us lose sight of this. We can’t allow division by the media or any other sources. We can’t afford it.
Don’t we owe the founders our thanks by honoring them for their blood, sweat & tears? We should be honoring everyone who played a part, willingly or unwillingly, in the establishment of this nation.
How would any of them react to what is taking place today between us? We suspect they may acknowledge that they too had blatant irreconcilable differences, but never once did these differences stand in their way of their common bond of wanting to prosper.
Recently we heard a gentleman’s observation about Christians. Over the years he noticed in newly formed Christian bonds that many Christians are driven to identify where they differ in their interpretation of various parts of Christianity. He strongly advised a change in people’s approach to one another. Instead the two should be celebrating their likenesses. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out this advice can be applied to any faith, culture, political arena, economic status, etc. It applies to every one.
Find the commonality & revel in that before walking down a path of destruction, because there is plenty of time for that once your bond is strong enough to handle it. Build a solid foundation first. Only your family will accept you for everything you are and are not (and there is no guarantee of this) because of the solid foundation.
Our founders could not have accomplished anything if all of their disagreements led with the interjection of hostility, sarcasm & innuendos.

EASY FIX TO UNEMPLOYMENT AND THE ECONOMY?
ONCE AGAIN WE STRESS THAT ALL COMMENTS REMAIN ON SUBJECT AS WE HAVE SEEN A WHIRL WIND OF COMMENTS GOING OFF THE BEATEN PATH IN EARLIER BLOG ARTICLES AND FOR THIS REASON WE HAVE DEVELOPED THIS BLOG SO PEOPLE CAN EXPRESS THEMSELVES OPENLY AND RESPECTFULLY UNDER THIS BLOG.
JOIN OUR DISCUSSION & SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS CLICK HERE
We have listened to dozens of financial analysts and economists speak on the subject of our economy for hundreds of years. Recently we have paid a lot more attention to what they have to say because the U.S.A. is suffering the economic blows along with the rest of the world. Many of these analysts are well educated, they have their PhD’s and are experienced.
WHY CAN’T THEY AGREE ON WHAT TO DO? WHY CAN’T THEY AGREE ON HOW TO DO IT? WHY CAN’T THEY AGREE ON WHAT TO DO FIRST?
We understand why the general members of society can’t come to an agreement on how to proceed with the repairs of our dilemma, but then again we are cast into the fires of ignorance through limited information and limited access to national and global statistics and variables which would assist us greatly in forming our views. We can’t understand how so many experts in the field of economics and finance have such drastically different views about the state of our economy.
WOULD ANY METHODOLOGY OR PLAN HAVE FAILED OR BEEN SLOW TO SHOW RESULTS?
We will never know because we only have one model to work from and that is the model formed and implemented by the current administration. We do know that based on news coverage of every analyst proposing something different that it seems likely that no one repair and maintenance plan would have produced drastically different results than what we see today. However, we stress there is no way to really know this because we are not in a laboratory which affords us test subjects with multiple variables and outcomes.
It still comes back to America’s expectation of demanding that a person or group of people perform their job duties adequately and sufficiently because the application and acceptance of the job is voluntary. When we fail to see results, we are entitled to gripe and complain.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE ARGUMENTS & DISCUSSIONS WE HEARD FROM FAMILY, FRIENDS, ASSOCIATES, ETC.
No economic plan would have yielded different results than what we are seeing today. There isn’t a president out there would could have fixed this problem without taxing us more. Even when we aren’t in this predicament, presidents tend to increase taxes in some sector some where.
The fix is easy, money should have been pumped into small business from the start and not the big companies that President Bush loaned money to. It is proven that small businesses generate more jobs and hire more people than large business.
If President Bush did not loan eighty five billion dollars to the big guys, the entire economy would have collapsed in ways we can’t imagine because these large companies have their hands in everything from law to insurance to banking to manufacturing and so on. President Obama was forced to follow suit for the same reasons.
There is no possible way you can prepare for the job of President of the United States. It is an on-the-job training job that is full of hundreds of thousands of surprises than what you anticipated so that anything you initially planned to do becomes moot. To the public it seems like you have lied, but in reality you have been exposed to unforeseen data and information which forces a change in plans.
Since we now know that President Bush borrowed $2.5 trillion dollars from China, what great or not-so-great man, woman or administration can manage that type of debt in an already sunken economy? Its like taking over a company or firm and their books show a profit of ten million dollars in a good year but they have fallen to five million a year. Your plan is to get them back up to ten million a year and more, but they conveniently neglect to inform you that they borrowed one hundred million dollars from a bank and have not begun paying it back yet. The company you THOUGHT you bought, you don’t even own and can’t begin to own until you pay back the one hundred million dollars. Your employees are looking at you in amazement that you haven’t magically made everything right over night.
There are no excuses for failure. Get it right and if you can’t get it right, then leave office and let someone else have a shot at it and if they can’t get it right, they too should leave until we find someone who knows what they are doing. This would eventually force the type of thinking we want in the White House as opposed to what has been in the White House for the last thirty or forty years. After five or six presidents step down for failure to produce via their performance evaluation with a one or two year period, you would see a quick change from special interest groups being stroked to men and women shifting their emphasis to making independent decisions uninfluenced by lobbyists, special interests, and campaign funders. The same would have to hold true for House of Reps, Senators & Supreme Court Justices where we have access to their attendance, voting records and spending records( expense accounts). We should have put this into practice decades ago. The problem is we can’t even agree on who we think has done right by us and who hasn’t. The person next in line would be their opponent who had the largest number of votes next to them (despite the party) and if that second person failed, then the person with the third highest votes would take the second person’s place and so on. This would also bring a halt to bipartisan head games because a senator who refuses everything suggested by a president of the opposing party would also face expulsion for failure to produce results and the public would be able to see those childish antics because their records would be exposed. It would force Republicans and Democrats and all others to work together for fear of their opponent taking their spot.
The blame is on the person and the administration hired to do the job and no other explanation or support is needed for that statement. The simplest form of clean up is a maid who is hired to clean up after a party. She did not throw the party. She did not attend the party. She did not create the mess and she may not have known how bad it was until she got there. No matter what, she won’t get paid if she fails to “clean house”. She has to figure out a way to clean up this awful mess left by others. Certainly the economy and unemployment is a lot more complicated but the expectation is the same. This is not a volunteer job. One does receive a salary, an expense account, and a life long eye catching resume which will launch a former president and vice president into just about any area they desire. You can head up a church, build homes for the poor, serve on boards, or enter the live speaker circuit. Either way you are set for life even if you were an unpopular politician so American citizens have every right to demand favorable results because presidents represent ALL of us, not just the people with the big bucks, power & influence. Most of us will never reach the earning power a president has. people laugh at the president’s salary, but you know what most people don’t earn that much. In addition you can probably triple or quadruple the salary based on the perks, wardrobe, grooming, presidential fleet of cars, planes, hotels stays and expense accounts.
The list of different view points is endless and we believe each one has a great deal of rational and logical thought behind it. What do you think? Join our discussion.

HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND AMERICA
Carry the battle to them. Don’t let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don’t ever apologize for anything.
Harry S. Truman
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? JOIN OUR DISCUSSION
Well we are already here. Our first Monday in the month of September. End of summer, start of football season or is it more than that?
WHEN WAS THE FIRST LABOR DAY?
1882 on September 5th in New York City organized by Peter J. McGuire (carpenter) as a march/parade from City Hall to Union Square then on to Reservoir Park for a picnic. The event included 10,000 workers and their families.
WHEN WAS LABOR DAY FORMALLY ESTABLISHED?
1894
WHAT MADE IT OFFICIAL?
Labor Day became official based on the events surrounding the PULLMAN STRIKE of 1894 during Grover Cleveland’s administration (The 22nd and the 24th President of the United States, which makes him the only president to have been elected to office twice but not in back to back presidential terms. He is also noted for being the only Democrat elected to office during the lengthy reign of a Republican majority between 1860 to 1912. Cleveland was a conservative in that he was not an advocate for inflation, subsidies for businesses, farmers or even veterans, pricey tariffs, or imperialism ).
WHAT WAS THE PULLMAN STRIKE?
The Pullman Strike was a political battle between the railroads and the labor unions which started in Pullman Illinois. A company by the name of the Pullman Palace Car Co. suffered a strike of three thousand of its employees because of drastic reductions in wages. You have to understand that rail cars were the most popular mode of travel back then so traffic flow was adversely effected. Anything West of Chicago did not move. Eugene Debs was the head of the American Railway Union that represented approximately 250,000 workers in 27 states. President Cleveland sent federal troops and marshals to shut down striking because of its ill effects on the nation. From a legal standpoint President Cleveland said it was affecting the U.S. Postal Service’s ability to deliver mail. He was thereby justified in sending troops. 13 union workers were killed and fifty seven were injured. Six thousand members of the union were involved and caused about $350,000.00 worth of damage (nearly nine million today).
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LABOR DAY?
When it was first established nationally, a parade was to take place following a festival to honor, encourage and celebrate the American spirit of trade and labor organizations. Some question the political cleansing attempt on the part of President Cleveland given that it was passed six days after the Pullman strike ended and many of his cabinet members did not believe the president had the right to unleash 12,000 army troops and marshals to the scene.
WHAT IS LABOR SUNDAY?
Labor Sunday is the Sunday before Labor Day. It was established in 1909 to highlight the spiritual and educational elements of Labor Day as it relates to the Bible.
WHAT IS THIS OTHER LABOR DAY – MAY 1ST?
This is an international holiday recognized and celebrated by about eighty countries. It is also known as the International Workers’ Day or May Day. It focuses on labor unions specifically. It marks the 1886 Haymarket Massacre of Chicago on May 4th. It started out as a rally for striking workers who were pushing for an eight hour work day. Someone threw a bomb at police while police were trying to break up the rally. Police retaliated with gunfire. Eight officers were killed. The majority were killed by “friendly fire”. To this day it is unknown how many civilians were killed. Eight men were tried. Four were convicted and executed and one man committed suicide in prison. Please take special note that the prosecution was convinced that none of the eight defendants were involved in throwing the bomb.
We so often get caught up in thinking the era we live in is the most volatile, the most corrupt as every generation wishes for the “old days” when matters were simpler, people were kinder, and there was a niceness in the air. Let this be a lesson and a strong reminder to all of us that corruption and suspicion of corruption go back long before any one of us was born. There is much more to many of these stories, but we don’t want to make the blog an entire American history lesson. Illegal searches were conducted and freedom of speech was squashed during this time.
Perhaps we need to look a little more carefully at Labor Day and its true meaning from all perspectives. Some of us recall May Day when we were children, but that is a holiday that has gone by the way side for the most part in this country.
I HEAR GOOD & BAD THINGS ABOUT UNIONS:
Many people believe unions to be useless today. Many people take for granted the working conditions they have today and are unaware that those limited hours, pay, vacation time, sick time, and other benefits were as a result of labor unions fighting and its members dying for improved working conditions. Nothing is a given in this world unless you understand its history and continue to demand that it remain on the “books”. Some form of American unions have been around since the start of this country.
WHATS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT CHILD LABOR LAWS?
Unions were instrumental in establishing child labor laws. Most of us are too young to know of a time when children as young as three years of age were put to work for twelve hour days, no school, and were working in conditions that most adults could not survive in. The Industrial Revolution sparked the need for even more children working in small, tight, dangerous spaces that adults could not reach because of their size. Children worked in mines, around dangerous machinery, chimneys, prostitution and more. Because of the unbearable hours, malnutrition, no health care, children would sometimes fall asleep on the job. Even though they were working side by side with their parents and siblings, it was not unusual for a shop boss or supervisor to beat the child. The parents could not fight back because it would mean the loss of jobs for the entire family. Essentially it was about two steps higher than slavery minus the racism. This was nearly every company across the board. So it wasn’t as if you could argue unfair treatment, quit and get another job with a sanely operated company.
To give you an idea of how barbaric our society was back then, and by we I mean every continent on the planet, it was a big milestone when Britain came through as the first nation to pass a law in favor of children. Its laughable now, but then it was a huge relief to many families and children. It fell under the title of FACTORY ACTS in the early 1900′s. Children under the age of 9 were not allowed to work at all. Chidren between the ages of 10 and 17 were limited to a twelve hour work day, which indicates they were working sixteen or more hours per day prior to the law. We still have sweat shops and worse still today. The poorer the country the fewer child labor restrictions there are.
WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE U.S.A.?
1.7 million children UNDER THE AGE OF 15 were said to be working in 1900 in the U.S.A. in the fields of industry. By 1910 that number had climbed to 2 million. Labor unions were already up and running, fighting and battling for rights for everyone. The issue was that as with any movement, the extremists are the gutsiest of all, but with that extremists mentality comes a number of harsh negatives. The union leaders in the 1700′s and 1800′s and beyond were known to be violent, unruly, coercive, and intimidating to co-workers and political officials. Many would argue that if they weren’t, nothing would have been accomplished with those in power in America. It was only through fear that politicians were motivated to rein in the questionable employment practices of large company owners and executives. Opposition to unions, even today, allege that unions are socialistic and no longer necessary. In fact many would argue that we have swung too far in over compensating for our history and now we are dealing with ungrateful, selfish, nondedicated workers who have a sense of entitlement and take advantage of the system. WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THIS ISSUE?

Always remember humans are charged with keeping one another in check. It doesn’t matter if you are the President of the United States, a CEO of a major corporation, a clerk at a retail store or you are out of work on disability. Honesty and integrity should be at the top of every man and woman’s list because no one is any more important or any less valuable than the other. Every single one of us impacts, shapes and influences our employers, family, friends, children, community, the nation and the world. We are each representatives of this list.

BLOGGING BY BEST SERVICES ONLINE, OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL BLOGS, WILL DEDICATE ITS BLOGS TO THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS ON 11-02-10.
As we write blogs about unemployment and jobs, since we are in fact recruiters, we realize that many of our readers, clients and candidates have great interest in the political influence over jobs, unemployment and their bank accounts. Employers and candidates have been hit heavily, which is why we are facing eight million lost jobs. These aren’t just lost for a year. This has been going on since 2007 with no real improvement in sight. This is the third year.
President Bush and/or President Obama may have prevented a sixteen million job loss event. We will never know one way or the other so all we can do is focus on what we do know and that is that the market is moving but for those out of work it is stagnant because is it not moving quickly enough. Every blog and every other source of media is addressing the “changing of the guard” from a democratic rule to a republican rule that will likely take place after the mid-term elections of November 2010. How many of us made it out to the polls over the last several months to cast our primary ballots? We know we walked in and walked out with no lines at prime times for voting as opposed to the massive lines that formed when the presidential race between Senator McCain and Senator Obama was at stake. Everyone had hopes and dreams for something better and something different. We do it at every major election whenever we are facing less than favorable times. We keep hoping that someone, some administration, some magical combination of congressional members and Supreme Court Justices will pleasantly surprise the people of America. When will we learn?
We didn’t get what we wished for and every one and their mother has the perfect response as to why it didn’t happen. So we look onward to these Mid-Term Elections, because without the hope of something more, we are facing the same limited growth we have been facing since President Bush was in office. We’ve said it countless times before. It is unfair and unjust to blame President Bush or any other president because the way the economy operates and feeds off of countless variables, the failure of the economy could have started during any one of the last five administrations. We must simply look for solutions and allow the elected politicians who we like or don’t like to accomplish the tasks at hand. This goes for democrats, republicans and everyone in between. If republicans gain the majority, then lets show our support and stay on them through continual phone calls to your state representatives to make certain they know they are accountable to you and me.
Lets make certain no matter who is in the White House, Senate and House of Representatives that we hold them accountable for working together haromoniously and nothing less is acceptable. WE EXPECT RESULTS. We must remain active at our local, state and federal levels. Regular phone calls have to be made to our representatives or emails and letters need to be sent. Keep it professional and respectful of course, but get your message out there over and over again. Our duties don’t stop at the voting booth, for those of us who take it that far.
Our duties never stop. Every last one of us is on notice that in politics a lot of unfair and unjust things take place. We no longer have the right to pretend we are shocked or surprised. The shock part should be over by now. What will you do to reduce or prevent the lack of productivity, bureaucracy, inner social politics, bad influences, anit-proactive behavior and anti-progressiveness throughout all levels of government? No matter who is elected to office, they all become susceptible to the political traps so we must work on supporting our politicians to rise above and stay above those negative influences. They must be made aware they are accountable to the people. Every media source will continue playing on the vulnerabilities & emotions of America. We fall for it every time. Opinions are fine, but how do you move people from the inside-out to better their circumstances and predicaments? How do we improve our current state now that we have identified our dissatisfaction with the lack of jobs and economic growth?

911 SOLEMN REMINDERS
The reminder of September 11, 2001 should be easier to handle as time passes. Typically this is how it works in the healing process. One of the largest more recent sores that was beginning to form a scab was ripped off again and salt and bleach were poured directly into the wound that we know all too well as 911. As a result the nation is further polarized and accusations are flying wildly. How do we unify a nation that houses representatives and members from every race, religion, nationality, culture, creed, political affiliation and economic class? We don’t know but we do know that anything short of freedom is not an option. How do we proactively work toward identifying “the enemy” without clumping millions of innocent people into that same category? There are an array of opinions and perspectives. Do we have sufficient skills and resources to identify extremists from non-extremists and everyone in between? It is confusing and this country has been dealing with this age old problem throughout history. WHERE, HOW & WHEN do we draw the lines? The key is to follow the principles & standards this country was based on. This is easier said than done for large numbers of the U.S. population, since this is the same population that can’t agree on the notion that the U.S.A. is founded on Christian principles and standards. Back to square one…
Here are some solemn statistics of 911 in 2001 in the event anyone questions why numerous Americans are having a difficult time moving beyond this attack which resulted in multiple murders, destruction and lives being changed forever. It is the reason we are witnessing protests across the nation.
At least 2,998 people died. this includes the 19 known terrorists. Other statistics say the number is currently 3,497 people.
There were 5 terrorists on three of the four planes (the two planes that crashed into the Twin Towers and the plane that struck the Pentagon). There were 4 terrorists on the plane full of courageous passengers that brought it down in pure sacrifice in Shanksville, PA. 87, 60, 59, & 41 were the number of passengers on each perspective plane. We are not counting the terrorists as passengers. Other statistics may vary slightly.
343 New York Fire Dept. firefighters + paramedics
60 NYPD officers & Port Authority officers
1,402 occupants in Tower One
614 occupants in Tower Two
3,051 children lost one or both parents that day. 327 of the people murdered were from 53 other countries or nations. America lost the most lives obviously. The United Kingdom lost 67, South Korea lost 28, Canada lost 27, Japan lost 26, Columbia lost 17, Jamaica, Mexico & the Philippines lost 16 each, and Australia & Germany lost 11 people.
None of these statistics account for the number of people who lost limbs, eye sight, hearing, massive amounts of skin from severe burns, permanent lung damage… You get the picture. These numbers also don’t address the psychological and emotional damage which fuels the nightmares, anxiety attacks, paralyzing panic and simply renders otherwise productive and active people dysfunctional from day to day. There are the thousands of workers who saw sights we cannot imagine. They did not even find whole bodies, day after day, week after week and month after month. This is just a sliver of the chunk of America’s heart that was left at Ground Zero, Shanksville and the Pentagon.
Don’t forget the World Trade Center was bombed by terrorists on February 26, 1993 when a truck containing explosives drove into the lower level garage of the North Tower. Six people were killed and approximately 300 people were injured. Rick Rescorla, Vice President of Security for Morgan-Stanley/Dean-Witter was aware of the vulnerability of the World Trade Center Towers prior to the 1993 and 2001 terrorist attacks. He was an American hero originally from England and we had the pleasure of benefiting from his skills until his death in the 911 attacks. His preparedness saved hundreds of lives. http://www.rickrescorla.com/
We also want to recognize and thank Betty Ong for going against protocol. It was her actions & ability to remain calm that helped us to identify this as a terrorist act instead of a terrible accident. She was a flight attendant of the first plane. Thank you to all of the heroes.
Two trillion in damages and counting… http://www.iags.org/costof911.html

What kind of real change can America expect after the mid-term elections? Everyone who is unhappy assumes that all Americans are unhappy with the state of affairs in Washington D.C.. There is a percentage of Americans who believe President Obama is doing a good job given what some describe as an impossible set of obstacles and challenges. No matter which category you fall into there are likely to be changes on many fronts and not all those changes are positive changes for Republicans depending on which state you reside in.
DELAWARE’s Christine O’Donnell won the candidacy for the Republican Senate seat against a republican candidate who was being backed by the GOP. Christine had the support of the Tea Party. Mike Castle, her opponent, was expected to win this primary race as he has been a long time Congressman. Is Christie O. good or bad for America? It depends on your perspective. She has a history of questionable financial problems including alleged tuition liens, alleged foreclosure of her home (approximately $90,000) and there is a question as to when she received her diploma from college and if the delay was based on incomplete courses or tuition liens. Some might say she is unfit to represent America. Others say these allegations are unfounded. There is a third perspective which claims America needs someone as “real” and down to earth as Christie O, because eight million people are facing the same types of issues. These eight million people effect at least two other people in their lives, which increases the number of adversely effected people to at least twenty four million Americans. This figure doesn’t include children or that sector of America that was living below or near the poverty line prior to the recession. Of course people who are facing foreclosure and financial strife are not going to be willing to judge a candidate like Christie O. harshly. If anything, they will breathe a sigh of relief that someone finally represents them. The other side of the coin alleges that Christie ran for office just so she could be supported by campaign funds. She ran for senate twice before and lost. Even if Christie O. is misspending money, is there any political candidate who has revealed how their campaign money was spent? Is this something that should be implemented? What will Christie O. do for jobs, unemployment and our overall economic status if she wins the November mid-term election for Senator? Mike Castle was a moderate Republican. Given that there are 292,738 Democrats in Delaware versus 182, 796 Republicans, Christie O. will have a tougher battle than Castle against Democrat, Chris Coons. The GOP fears a loss and therefore has less of an opportunity to seal their victory in the Senate since they need ten seats. How will a party that slung accusations at her now show their support in a way that the public will view it as genuine? What will she do for jobs, unemployment rates and the economy? We’ve heard more about her views on pornography and sex than any of the issues that are at the forefront of Americans’ minds.
FLORIDA:There is some turmoil down in Florida too with regard to the Gubernatorial race. Charlie Crist holds the position of Governor after Jeb Bush’s reign for two terms. Crist came in as a Republican. He is switching to a nonpartisan candidate for the U.S. Senate.
NEW YORK: Carl Paladino upset Rick Lazio in the Republican primaries for the New York Governor’s race (62%). Paladino was backed by the Tea Party as well. The shock is in the percentage by which he won.

Celebrities and their charities are overlooked far too often. Whether you are a fan or not, these celebrities have power in the world of charitable organizations. They have a lot of social and financial influence. Some have had it from a very early age. More focus needs to be placed on the impact these people have in their causes as opposed to the daily tabloid rantings of their struggles with fame, relationships and chemical susbtances. In this recession with so many people unemployed and working arduously to find jobs, we need to hear about progressive people committing charitable acts. We need to know there are conscience minds who only appear care free and superficial. Even if some naysayers view it as it being done for tax purposes or self promotion, good still comes from it. If it was strictly for tax purposes, writing a check would be all that is required, but so many do so much more. Take a peak if you’d like.

AMERICA OUTRAGED OVER “OUTSOURCED” NBC (Outsourcing in America)
In the event you haven’t heard or seen by now, NBC has aired a show named OUTSOURCED. It is based on a film by John Jeffcoat. It aired on Thursday, September 23, 2010. This is a sitcom which depicts an American male being assigned to manage a call center in Mumbai, India (formerly Bombay) where the order processing department has been relocated or rather outsourced. Initially we heard a great deal of ranting & raving from the American population about this show. Comments ranged from the show’s insensitivity to poor timing to television executives being out of touch or not seeming to care. Several weeks later we began hearing from members of the Indian culture as they compared the show to the sitcoms here in America that “use to” depict minority Americans in a negative or condescending light.
We were fairly amazed at the timing of the show and were unable to determine if it was meant to lift the spirits of Americans and Indians through irony and sarcasm. Nevertheless there are petitions on FACEBOOK protesting and boycotting the show and all of NBC. Some loyal viewers of NBC are refusing to stop on that channel ever again even if it means giving up sports and some of their favorite shows and movies. There are a few former variations on this show. “Going for An English
