Starr Park is the name applied to several former sports stadiums in Syracuse, New York. The name referred to the Syracuse professional baseball teams, which were called the Stars beginning around 1870 and continuing in most seasons until the last Stars team was fielded in 1929.
- The first of these venues was an alternate name of Newell Park, at the southeast corner of South Salina Street and what is now East Raynor Avenue. It was the home field of Stars teams from 1878 through 1884, including the Syracuse Stars of the National League in 1879.
- The second, and longest-lived, Star Park opened in 1885, a couple of long blocks north of Newell Park. It was bounded by Salina, Taylor, Oneida and Temple Streets, with the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad tracks running through a corner of the block. In addition to various Syracuse Stars minor league clubs through its two decades of existence, the field was the home of the Syracuse Stars of the major league American Association during the 1890 season. After 20 years of use, the city decided not to renew the ball club's lease, and ran what is now South Clinton Street through the property
- The next Star Park was initially called Athletic Park. It was first the home of the Syracuse Stars minor league team in the Eastern League during 1900 and part of 1901. The Stars returned to the Salina and Taylor location during 1902 through 1904, after which the city closed it. The Stars then resumed play at Athletic Park, redubbing it New Star Park, which they used as members of the New York State League during the 1905 and 1906 seasons. Athletic Park / New Star Park was bordered by Marsh Street (later Hiawatha Boulevard) to the south, and by Pulaski and Liberty Streets.
- After the 1906 season, the Stars moved again, about a mile northward, to a field called Hallock Park or First Ward Park or, again, Star Park. The Stars fielded teams in the New York State League from 1907 through 1917, then had another try with the International League, for 1918 only. This ballpark has been described as near the end of North Salina Street "not far from" Onondaga Lake, and Hiawatha Boulevard toward the southeast. What is now Park Street was to the northeast, across which there is now a Regional Market. The ballpark site itself was eventually swallowed by ramps for Interstate Highway 81.
- The final version of Star Park, also known as Syracuse Athletic Park and International League Park, opened in 1920, and closed after the 1929 season. It was located at 1420 West Genesee Street, on the north side of that street between State Fair Boulevard and the New York Central tracks. It was the home of Stars teams in the International League during 1920 through 1927, and then a short-lived Stars entry in the New York–Pennsylvania League during 1928, and part way through the 1929 season.
- This last Star Park was also the home of the short-lived Syracuse Pros football team, who were "possible" members of the American Professional Football Association (later renamed the National Football League), in 1921.
Syracuse was without minor league ball until Municipal Stadium opened in 1934, for a newly transferred International League club that was named the Syracuse Chiefs.

Experts predicted a hotter than average summer for most of the country and boy were they right, especially out West. Unbelievable! Dangerous for humans . . . and for tires!
Heat is a tire's worst enemy when it comes to removal miles, irregular wear and service life. When ambient temperatures get higher than 100°F, some road temperatures can reach almost twice that level.
Having a well-synchronized air pressure maintenance program between your drivers and your shop is even more critical during scorching ambient temperatures.
Excessive heat is generated by the increased deflection of an underinflated tire's sidewall. The lower the inflation pressure, the more a tire will flex, which results in an increase in tire temperature. This causes the rubber compounds throughout the tire, particularly in the shoulder and bead area, to begin breaking down.
Effective air pressure maintenance
This must include regular air pressure checks with a quality gauge. If you think you have a “well calibrated ear,” thumping the tires could possibly give you an idea of the difference in pressure between one tire and the other, but will never tell you the actual air pressure. Besides, the typical sound of a tire at a particular pressure will be different if the tire is hotter.
Here are the reasons why a thump will never tell you the actual truth:
Always use a high-quality, accurate tire gauge and check your tires at a minimum of once a week. And always when they are cold. The days of using a tire club or stick are long gone and were really never an accurate way to tell how much air you have in a tire.
Tires such as the Double Coin RLB400 are highly-advanced products featuring the latest technologies in compounding, tread design and construction. With the correct air inflation, they perform as they were designed with the tread contact patch or footprint (part of tread that touches the pavement) being where the designers intended. The correct footprint provides optimum traction, and durability is dramatically increased.
Yes, it takes a little time each week to properly check your tires. But the payoff is substantial in terms of increasing the life of your tires, improving fuel economy, ensuring optimum tire performance, and reducing downtime due to tire failures.
After all, what's worse than being on the side of the road with a tire failure . . . being there in oppressive heat!
We encourage you to contact your local Double Coin dealer for more information about best practices in tire maintenance.

The eyes are the key to early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s
The current detection of Alzheimer’s disease relies on brain imaging, typically in the later stages of the disease when there has already been significant damage. The initial results from a Perth study have indicated that signs of Alzheimer’s can be seen in an eye scan 20 years before there are other symptoms. Detection of these signs in the eye directly reflects the deterioration of the brain cells, making it a very reliable and exciting early detection tool. This may lead to new treatment modalities.

Important Factors To Consider When Installing Marazzi Zellige Tiles
Before you start installing marazzi zellige tiles, there are some essential factors that you need to consider to get the most out of your zellige experience.

- Grout line size: As mentioned earlier, zellige’s handmade nature can cause slight size variations, which makes it tricky to plan even grout lines. It would help if you consider a grout width to be at least 3-4mm to accommodate the size variance and uneven surfaces’ nature.
- Maintenance: Zellige tiles need careful maintenance. They require sealing twice to prevent staining and moisture damage. Also, avoid using any harsh or abrasive cleaners that may cause damage.
- Installation: Terracotta tiles are fragile; handling them needs utmost care. You need to work with a professional installer to guarantee perfect installation and avoid cracking or chipping during the process.

The brand Olansi luftreiniger offers a wide range of steamers, indoor purifiers, charcoal purifiers, and other purifiers. This brand uses patented Absorption Layer Technology to reduce dust particles and allergens. They have employed High Efficiency Particulate Air or HEPA technology into their charcoal and air purifiers as well as purifiers. They have patented the Carbonless Filter Cleaning technology to eliminate dust particles as well as the allergens out of the air. It also removes vapors as well as gas safely and effectively. The company has created and developed an Electrostatic Oven Cleaner that eliminates the growth of bacteria and fungi dust mites particles and mold spores , from the ceramic plates that are heated.
The Electrostatic Oven Cleaner uses the original PM2.5 filter with an Ultra Violet level that ensures that the air purifier performs effectively. The process of ionization eliminates microscopic particles dirt, grease, and other particles. The electrostatic process generates an extremely high frequency, which damages the PH balance of the air, which results in the unpleasant smell of acid. To restore the normal state of the air quality, the purifier in question must be checked on a regular on a regular basis.
The company produces HEPA filters that work effectively in reducing particles that are dangerous to human health. The activated carbon was designed to trap tiny particles and keep them from getting into the motor. These filters are easy to clean and maintain since they do not require replacement of the cartridge, as they are cleaned and removed easily. They are also long-lasting and do not require any synthetic stabilizer.
This makes Olansi the ideal product for people interested in air purification and protecting the environment. For more information, visit their website https://www.olanside.com/air-purifiers.html. It's ideal for offices and homes as it doesn't release any foul odor. To determine which one is right for you there are numerous factors to take into account when buying an air purifier machine. Although many think that cost is a significant factor when purchasing an air purifier, manufacturers also consider other aspects like ease of use and performance. Since this company is so confident in the efficiency of its products, they've introduced a number of models of air purifying equipment that are priced very affordably and yet offer high-quality air for all.
This brand is distinct from other brands of this type since it makes use of nickel-plated Ionized cartridges, unlike other brands which use charcoal filters that aren't filtered or filtering. The reason that the manufacturer chooses to use nickel-plated and ionized filters is that they are more resistant to bacteria, viruses, dust particles and odors. It is the result that this hepa uvc air purifier proves to be superior to other filters, and it gives superior results when it comes to air purification as well as air cleaner.
The manufacturer also manufactures an air purifying as well as water purifying system together with the brand. This system is equipped with filters that can be used in conjunction with the air filter factory. In addition to this system it also has a highly-rated product from this manufacturer known as the hydrogen water purifier. The water purifier operates in a similar way to the air filtering factory, but also has special chemical compounds that can remove microorganisms and viruses. The manufacturer also makes an indoor/outdoor hybrid filter which can be used to combine the purifier for water and the air filtering functions. These air purifiers are proven to be extremely efficient air purifiers, and are popular among consumers.

Two years ago, I sat in an audience of 200 business students
watching a special screening of “The Corporation”—a
depressing and somewhat disempowering documentary based on a book written
by Canadian law professor Joel Bakan called Corporation: The Pathological
Pursuit of Profit and Power.
After a desultory panel discussion, one of the students stood up and asked
why—in his entire time at business school—he had never heard
the issues discussed in the movie raised in the classroom. He wanted to
know if his school might learn from other institutions how to incorporate
social and environmental content into the business curricula.
After spending the previous five years trying to do exactly that as a
teacher in the same business school attended by the student, I was a little
disappointed by the question. This school regularly ranked in the top
few schools globally on its inclusion of sustainability and corporate
social responsibility in the MBA program.
Fast-forward to summer 2007: I am visiting a friend who teaches at a top
U.S. school also known for its world-leading embrace of sustainability
and social responsibility at the MBA level. This senior academic described
to me how the vast majority of MBA candidates sail through their programs
en route to well-paid careers in consulting and finance, untouched by
broader questions of the environmental and social impacts of business.
He also told how the senior champion for these issues at his school struggles
to overcome a credibility problem with his mainstream colleagues.

June 22, 1987: Albertans prepare for seatbelt law
It's been 29 years since seatbelts became the law
When a mandatory seatbelt law came into effect the summer of 1987, not all Alberta drivers were eager to buckle up.
"I don't believe that anybody should tell me what the hell I have to do," Joe Miller said in an interview with CBC's Bill Laing.
At the time, only 28 per cent of Albertans used a seatbelt. Changing the minds of almost three quarters of motorists proved to be difficult.
A government ad campaign convincing motorists to use their seatbelts hit airwaves that month, notifying Albertans of the new law coming into effect on July 1.
Some drivers sought exemptions to the law, trying to get doctor's notes saying seatbelts would aggravate existing medical conditions.
Today, seatbelts are widely known to save lives. Not wearing one will cost you a $155 fine — 29 years ago, it was $25.

New law comes as China tightens regulations around tech industry.
ANKARA (AA) – China on Friday adopted a law on the protection of personal information while tightening regulations for tech giants in the country.
Under the new regulation, any app that is found “illegally processing personal data” could be suspended or their services terminated in China.
The law was adopted at the Standing Committee of China’s top legislature – the National People’s Congress (NPC) – and it will take effect on Nov. 1, state-run Xinhua News reported.
“When pushing information and business marketing to individuals through automated decision-making, personal information processors should provide options that don’t target personal characteristics at the same time, or offer ways of rejection,” the law notes.
The new law mandates that individual consent “should be obtained when processing sensitive personal information such as biometrics, medical and health, financial accounts and whereabouts.”
The draft of the law was submitted to the NPC in March.
A Beijing-based Chinese analyst, Einar Tangen, told Anadolu Agency that China was sending “a clear message that Socialist principles will take precedence over Capitalist profits.”
“Monopolies that tax rather than compete for people’s business, violent and addictive video games and excessive academic cramming will be curtailed and income disparities will be addressed,” he said.
The adoption of the new law comes amid China’s tightening of regulations around the tech industry in the country.
On several occasions in the recent past, Chinese authorities summoned many big companies for violation of big data security and also took down many apps for user privacy violations.
Last month, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) launched a probe into Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi Global Inc for allegedly violating user privacy.
“The economic emphasis and markets have been shifting towards the different levels of the middle classes for some time now. Those who understand this and act on it will prosper,” said Tangen.
“China’s markets are not going away, the Chinese government is simply adjusting the parameters of their society in line with their Socialist principles… Having watched the excesses and failures of many developed nations, Beijing is determined to not follow in their footsteps,” the analyst added.

His story was as inspiring as his work, but the deaf Japanese composer Mamoru Samuragoch has admitted that he didn't write the music which made him a nation's favourite.
Samuragoch, 50, became famous two decades ago after composing ambitious orchestral soundtracks for videogames including Onimusha (Demon Warrior, a PlayStation 2 game in which a samurai must rescue a princess from demons) and the 1996 film Cosmos. It was a success he had arrived at after being homeless and earning a living as a street cleaner from his late teens, while battling a degenerative hearing condition that he had attempted to keep secret since adolescence.
However, Samuragoch has now admitted that he hired a musician to compose music for him since the mid-Nineties, when he was first commissioned to score films. Japanese TV network NHK quoted him saying: "I had to ask the person to help me for more than half the work because the ear condition got worse."
Although Samuragoch admitted that he paid for the commission, the identity of the ghost composer is yet to be revealed. A statement from Samuragoch's lawyers said he was "deeply sorry" and that he "knows he could not possibly make any excuse for what he has done." According to Kotaku.com, his record company were also unaware of Samuragoch's deceit and is "flabbergasted and deeply infuriated" by the news.
Instead, Samuragoch explained that he trusted his "inner sense of sound" to create the work: "It is like communicating from the heart. Losing my hearing was a gift from God," he told Time magazine in 2001.
Samuragoch became a celebrity in Japan, and was dubbed the country's answer to Beethoven after a childhood spent composing sonatinas. He refused to go to the Japanese College of Music after disagreeing with their teaching methods and instead taught himself while working as a labourer.
His most iconic work is Symphony No 1, Hiroshima, a tribute to those killed in the 1945 atomic bombing of the city. Samuragoch communicated through his lawyer that this too was written by another composer. It was completed in 2003, when the now-deaf Samuragoch claimed he relied on his absolute pitch.
Symphony No 1 Hiroshima was released for the first time in 2011, to commemorate the anniversary of the atomic bombing. In March 2012 NHK broadcast a documentary about Samuragoch and his journey to the tsunami-battered Tohoku region to meet survivors of the catastrophe and their families.
The documentary gave Symphony No.1 Hiroshima a new relevance as a tribute to Tohoku's people. It became known informally as the Symphony of Hope and sold in its thousands.
OPINION: Is pirate music ever justified?
After Samuragoch's admission, an NHK anchor apologised on behalf of the network for broadcasting the documentary: "NHK has reported on him in news and features programmes but failed to realise that he had not composed the works himself, despite our research and checking."
The revelation has also caused problems for the Japanese Olympic figure skater Daisuke Takahashi, who was using a piece allegedly composed by Samuragoch in his programme at the Sochi games.

A tribute to the exquisite Mediterranean waters of the Italian retreat and its inherent motives, such as the vibrant limoncellos and the boldly-striped parasole, this High-Summer offer explores a mostly minimalistic silhouette with hints of volume. Silk, jacquard, chiffon and of course, cotton, are just some of the breezy, summer-ready fabrics that take center stage and the house’s characteristic relaxed glamour and versatile mix-and-match nature is very much present in each of the season’s pieces. The collection’s swim pieces go beyond the pebbled beach and double as statement pieces that are perfect for a sultry night of limoncello overlooking the sea.

RENEW (Reflectively Embracing Nonviolence through Education for Women) is a support group program for women who have previously used force in their relationships. RENEW offers the opportunity to heal from the past as they explore violence-free choices for the future. Sabrina’s story is an example of how RENEW helps women work toward violence free lives.
Sabrina relocated to Michigan with assistance from a legal aid agency and a battered women’s shelter in a southern state. Staff from both agencies feared that Sabrina’s husband, Paul, would kill Sabrina given his threats and previous actions against her. Sending Sabrina out of state to be with her family, without Paul’s knowledge, seemed to be the safest alternative.
Once Sabrina returned to Michigan, she found her way to RENEW.
When Sabrina first enrolled in RENEW, she saw herself as a “perpetrator,” only identifying with the actions she had used to navigate her abusive relationship with Paul. Over time, Sabrina grew to understand the complex, gender-specific dynamics of domestic violence.
She also began to heal.
As Sabrina engaged in the healing process, she recognized that the shame she felt for using force had overshadowed her extensive history as a domestic violence survivor. Sabrina began to work on who she wanted to be, how she wanted to live, and coming to terms with the trauma from her past.
While participating in RENEW, Sabrina’s family told Paul how to contact her, as they believed “a husband should be with his wife.” Sabrina was undaunted. She remained focused on improving her circumstances and finishing her education. Sabrina just completed a year studying in Europe, and is now a senior in college. She is “giving back” to RENEW in diverse ways, including peer facilitating groups and co-training with RENEW staff. Sabrina states that, for her, “RENEW is a healing place that gave me what I needed to move forward in my life.”
Thanks to your support, we can continue to change lives, like Sabrina’s, one person at a time.

For decades, thousands of orange trees thrived at Caulkins Citrus Company’s 3,200-acre grove in Palm City, producing a bountiful crop each year. But now another “crop” is being harvested — polluted water from Lake Okeechobee.
The practice is being touted as part of the solution to Lake O discharges that have resulted in damaging blue-green algal blooms in the St. Lucie Estuary to the east and the Caloosahatchee River to the west.
On Tuesday, the Martin County water farm’s expansion from a 413-acre pilot project to a 2-mile by 3-mile reservoir that stores dirty water from the C-44 Canal linked to Lake O was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting event attended by more than 100 people. The goal is to store up to 35 billion gallons of water every year to keep the dirty water from heading to fragile estuaries, rivers and the coast, causing fish kills and harming marine and tourism industries.
Even George Caulkins III, the company’s president, admits that water farming can be a difficult concept.
“We heard about this program that the South Florida Water Management District was thinking about, this thing called water farming — kind of a crazy term. I don’t know if anybody else has as much trouble describing it as I do. You can’t really farm water unless you grow shrimp in it or something,” Caulkins said at the site Tuesday.
“For 50 years this has been a flourishing, terrific ag property, a citrus grove, but like many others growers, certainly all the commercial growers in Martin County, we were hit by citrus greening and lost all of our trees,” said Caulkins, whose father planted the trees in the 1960s.
Now, he said, the property has a different goal.
“We found a way to re-purpose this land … and figure out a way to take lemons and make lemonade, for the citizens of Martin County and the St. Lucie Estuary and the coast,” Caulkins said. “We are happy to be part of the solution.”
The land had been slated to be developed into ranchettes — single-family homes on 20-acre lots.
Caulkins’ company worked in a private/public partnership with the SFWMD, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and Florida Senate President Joe Negron.
The expansion’s construction cost $7.5 million, and Caulkins is being paid $5.5 million a year under a 10-year agreement. It’s not a lease; it’s for a service provided, said Ansley Marr, the water management district’s section administrator for the Northern Everglades.
While water farming has been done in other places, Marr said that in terms of scale, the SFWMD is at the forefront.
While the the water management district has paid ranchers north of the lake for years to store water on their properties, water farms are a newer concept and involve the use of pumps and the creation of reservoirs. The water farms are an interim solution until other long-term projects come online.
The Caulkins water farm pilot project, which launched in 2014 with the 16-county water management district, was the first project of its kind in the state to be operational. The project exceeded expectations, storing more than four times the amount of water expected.
Two other South Florida water farm pilot projects were launched in 2015, and another six are in the works.
In what’s known as the “lost summer” of 2013, 136 billion gallons of nutrient-laden Lake O water spilled into the St. Lucie River, causing a massive blue-green algal bloom. Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency in Martin, St. Lucie, Palm Beach and Lee counties.
The bloom, which also spread to the Indian River Lagoon estuary and west to the Caloosahatchee River, grew to 200 square miles on Lake O. The water was released to ease pressure on Lake O’s 143-mile earthen levee. If the water farm had been up and running, it could have reduced the amount of water going into the estuary by 25 percent, Caulkins said.
When two other projects along the C-43 and C-44 canals are completed, storage capacity will expand. The plan is for the Caulkins reservoir to store the water and never discharge under normal conditions. About 18 percent evaporates, and 82 percent remains in the 10-foot deep reservoir surrounded by a 17-mile man-made berm. Construction took nine months.
“We can pump 150 million gallons a day. We can fill up an Olympic-sized swimming pool in about five minutes,” Caulkins said.
Doug Bournique, executive vice president of the Indian River Citrus League, now based in Fort Pierce, said water farming has been a godsend for the greening-devastated citrus industry. Greening, spread by the tiny Asian citrus psyllid, is a bacterial disease that causes trees to produce bitter, misshapen fruit and eventually kills the trees. No cure has been found.
In the late 1990s to early 2000s, the region from central Palm Beach County to Volusia County held 240,000 acres of citrus. Now that’s down to 70,000 acres.
In Martin County, the groves have become scruffy, abandoned remnants of their former use of producing one of the highest-value crops in Florida, oranges and grapefruit. Some former groves have been converted to other types of farms, growing vegetables, sugar cane, herbs or landscape plants, but those crops are not as profitable, Bournique said.
“My last grower in Martin County, Becker, sold his grove near the intersection of I-95 at Hobe Sound to Michael Jordan a year ago for a golf course,” Bournique said.
Bournique, who also serves on the governing board of the St. Johns River Water Management District, said he was driving back from a water district meeting in South Florida about 10 years ago when he wondered if the grove lands might be able to play a role in water storage.
“I thought, you know we can help the Indian River Lagoon. We have people sitting on hold not knowing what to do with their land. There is no good Plan B, no other crops that make money on these soils like Indian River red grapefruit,” Bournique said. “We have tested a lot of crops, but nothing made money.
“My growers at first thought it was b.s. They said, ‘I don’t want to put my land underwater,’” Bournique said. “‘What if they find a new variety that doesn’t get greening?’” We’ve had greening for 13 years, and there is no silver bullet yet. More growers are interested now.”
The pilot projects have proved that the concept works, Bournique said.
“It holds a lot of water and keeps billions of gallons out of the Indian River Lagoon and keeps the land in families that have held it for generations and keeps housing out. The area gets hydrated, and the water gets cleaner,” Bournique said.
But water storage doesn’t work for every property. The land must be near a canal that drains from the lake, and it has to have the right kind of soil.
The 150-foot deep white sand at Caulkins is ideal. The water percolates through the sand into the aquifer. At the same time, at least 75 percent of the phosphorus and 50 percent of the nitrogen are being removed from the water pumped onto the farm.
Florida Senate President Negron, R-Palm City said, “This successful project demonstrates that Florida can achieve short term solutions to reduce discharges while at the same time building the long-term water storage infrastructure to solve the problem once and for all.
Department of Environmental Protection Secrtary Noah Valenstein said the water farm’s storage will complement the C-44 Canal and other Everglades restoration projects.
“DEP is proud to be a partner in this project, and remains committed to enhancing water storage and improving water quality in Florida’s treasured Everglades,” Valenstein said.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the equivalent of our Monetary Policy Committee, is going to cut its monthly bond purchases to $75bn from $85bn. Nine members voted for, and one, my friend and colleague Eric Rosengren, president of the Boston Fed, voted against, arguing that changes were “premature” given an elevated unemployment rate and inflation well below the target.
Beginning in January, the FOMC will add to its holdings of agency mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $35bn per month rather than $40bn per month, and its holdings of longer-term Treasury securities at a pace of $40bn per month rather than $45bn per month. The committee collectively improved their outlook for the US labour market, but made it clear that they expected interest rates to stay lower for even longer than they previously expected. The committee also lowered their expectations of inflation over each of the next three years.
Stock markets rallied on the fairly dovish news, with the Dow rising nearly 300 points after the decision, and gold fell through $1,200 an ounce.
So there was none of the market panic after the Fed failed to taper in September, or in May, when they first suggested they were preparing to run for the QE exits.
Just to be clear though: this is a slowing in the rate of increase of the Fed’s asset buying programme. Ben Bernanke, at the subsequent press conference, his last as chairman, made clear that labour market developments were central – including what happens to labour force participation and wages, which have started to rise in real terms.
The chart on the US labour market puts this in context. From a low point of 4.4 per cent in May 2007, the unemployment rate rose steadily through to October 2009, when it reached 10 per cent. Since then the unemployment rate has fallen back to 7 per cent, with the number of unemployed down by 4,475,000 since May 2009.
But that isn’t the end of the story, as is clear from the chart, which shows that there has been a fairly rapid fall in the activity or participation rate. This is calculated as the proportion of the 16-plus population that is employed, or unemployed; the sum of the two constitutes the workforce. The activity rate has fallen from 66.2 per cent in January 2008 to 63 per cent in November 2013. If these folks hadn’t dropped out of the labour force then unemployment would have been a lot higher.
There is evidence that these inactive folks are pushing down on wages, as they stand ready to come back into the labour force if and when jobs become available. The danger then is that employment would rise without the Fed’s announced target, the unemployment rate, falling.
The story is quite different in the UK, as the second chart makes clear. The UK saw a much smaller rise in the unemployment rate, up from 5.2 per cent in February 2008 to a high of 8 per cent in February and March 2010, to 7.4 per cent in the latest data release. Of particular note is the fact that the participation has risen recently.
We don’t have a good story for the difference between the two countries. It is not explained by gender differences; for example, in the US, the participation rates of women and men have both fallen over the last year, whereas it has risen for both men and women in the UK. In both the US and the UK participation rates of older workers, for both men and women, have risen, as they have had to put off retirement due to the fall in their pensions. In the UK we know that these older workers would like to work fewer hours, whereas younger workers, who are under-employed, would like to work more hours.
The pattern of falling participation rates between 2010 and 2012 is repeated in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Japan and Portugal. In contrast, participation rates have risen in Australia, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, New Zealand and Switzerland.
Labour economists are struggling to explain these differences across countries. Greece and Spain both have high unemployment rates, and the former has falling participation rates while the latter has rising rates. It may have something to do with availability of welfare, and especially disability benefits, but we aren’t sure.
So here is the puzzle. The US had a doubling of the unemployment rate and a big fall in the participation rate, while the UK saw a smaller rise in the unemployment rate along with a rise in the participation rate. Beside which, the US only had a drop of output of GDP of 4.3 per cent in the down phase of the Great Recession, compared with 7.2 per cent in the UK, and the US is now 5.5 per cent above starting output, whereas the UK is still 2 per cent below. GDP per capita in the US rose between 2010 and 2012, but fell in the UK. Based on a bigger drop in output, we would have expected the UK to have experienced a bigger rise in unemployment than we have seen.
Unexpectedly, UK real wages have been more flexible than US wages, which have now started to rise again, while those in the UK continue to fall. This means that the US has had rising productivity, while the UK has had falling productivity. Why? Economists aren’t sure.
It’s probably too early to celebrate. This thing isn’t over by a long way. This really is the crisis that keeps on giving for economists. Sorry all.

UPDATE: Sunland escapee could be with Chipley woman, police say
JACKSON COUNTY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - An escaped Sunland resident could be in the company of a Chipley woman, according to the Marianna Police Department.
Officials said Luis Ortiz-Rivera could be with Kalee Gilbert, 20. Gilbert was reportedly last known to be driving a black Ford sedan.
Ortiz-Rivera escaped from Sunland on December 10th. Local schools were put on soft lockdowns while K9 units searched the area. Authorities were unable to find him. Police said he could be dangerous, so don’t approach him. Police said Ortiz-Rivera was committed to Sunland for charges of aggravated battery without a firearm and first-degree murder in Broward County.
Authorities said they still don’t know where Ortiz-Rivera is but are “working diligently” to find him.
If you or anyone you know has any information on where either of these two people could be, you’re urged to call the Marianna Police Department at 850-526-3125 or remain anonymous with Chipola Crimestoppers at 850-526-5000.

Good morning. Considering our first three items are from the Sunshine State, how about some fresh squeezed Florida OJ with today’s Scramble?
Tom Brady’s retirement from the Tampa Bay Bucs, 40 days, was an eternity compared to CNN retiring CNN+ in only 30.
Disney really got themselves into a pickle, didn’t they? The Burbank, California, corporation is a big player in Florida politics and a major taxpayer in the state. When Republican sponsored legislation was introduced that bars classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity through the third grade, Disney wisely stayed out of the fray. Then in March, when the bill was being introduced in chambers, a good portion of Disney’s 80,000 theme park and resort employees urged the company to take a position in opposition to the legislation known as “Don’t Say Gay.” That didn’t sit well at the Republican controlled statehouse nor with Governor Ron DeSantis. So, the state GOP sponsored another bill that reversed a law in effect since 1967, originally passed to entice Disney to Florida, which exempted the company from a host of state and local regulations, taxes and fees. DeSantis flexed his muscles to show Disney who is in charge. Both bills passed easily. Pending years of legal challenges or waiting for the dark red state to turn blue, it will cost Disney tens of millions of dollars a year in taxes, fees and legal costs. And of course, shareholders will look to mom and dad, grandma and grandpa to recover those funds. If you thought admission and concession prices couldn’t get any higher, just wait. For both sides, this is a pretty sour pickle.
Speaking of Florida orange juice, well, once again the Juice is loose. O.J. Simpson concluded his Nevada residency a few weeks ago and moved back to Florida. O.J. spent 14 years in the desert, nine in Federal prison, after being convicted of armed robbery in 2007 at the Palace Station hotel. He was finally released from parole on December 14, 2021, for “good behavior.” That good behavior included endless golf, incessant fantasy football Tweeting and hanging at local bars and restaurants with twenty-somethings, who either have no idea of who he is or what he’s accused of, fawning over him. I played golf in a group right behind Simpson a month ago, two weeks before he left town. He’s easily recognizable; smiles and nods his head in acknowledgment to others on the course; can still hit the golf ball a long way, but his bad knees make him look closer to 84 than his 74. Before being jailed in Nevada he had a home in South Miami, which presumably was his destination.
Sometimes raising campaign contributions can be tough. Consider LaJuana Clark, a Nevada Democrat running for a seat in the State Assembly. She’s accused of armed robbery of a Chase Bank in Las Vegas. She asked for $888, which must be the max a bank, under duress, can contribute to a candidate. In any event it’s a miracle the cops apprehended her. In the demand note she handed to the bank clerk, she gave her name, address and a note of apology to the bank’s manager. That was a nice touch and should get her a bunch of votes.
Here’s a shocker: in a poll of Russians by the Levada Center, 72% of those polled hold a negative view of the United States, up from 55% in February. The good news for China is 83% of the Russians have a favorable view of their country. Also good news for Vlady Putin whose approval rating has jumped from 71% in February to 83% in March. Levada Center bills themselves as an ‘independent’ Russian pollster. Yeah, sure they are.
You can’t make some of this stuff up. The U.S. Postal Service, which two weeks ago we told you somehow had a 91% approval rating, announced in a cost-cutting move they will slow delivery of first class packages. They figured using trains and trucks, rather than air, will be a substantial cost savings. For those with a long memory back to the 60s and 70s, it’s like Howard Johnson’s restaurants, perennially know for it’s terrible service, saying they have to slow things down.
Date night for Andi and me was a week ago Wednesday at the ParkMGM, nee the old Monte Carlo. Dinner first at Bavette’s with the food and atmosphere as good as any steakhouse on the Strip. Then across the casino floor to see Lady Gaga’s Jazz & Piano show. It was good. It would have been great if she didn’t take four seven or eight minute breaks in the two hour, fifteen minute show to change wardrobe. The pause broke any momentum and audience energy that she had generated. And then she had to get it going all over again. Good, but could have been much better.
Happy 89th birthday last Tuesday to Carol Burnett and on Saturday to Willie Nelson. Time isn’t slowing either of them down. The comic legend is still touring, playing smaller venues in a lecture type setting. Last week she was in Chicago; this week Milwaukee and Cincinnati. And Willie is still going strong on the road, again.
Is there anything more troublesome than a nagging sciatica? I am going on five weeks with the literal pain in my ass.
And speaking of fannies, Oakland A’s fans are expressing their dissatisfaction with the ongoing negotiations between the city of Oakland and the A’s ownership regarding plans for a new stadium to keep the baseball team in the Bay. For their first seven home games at the outdated Oakland Coliseum, the A’s are averaging an MLB low of 7,942 fans a game. That included a Wednesday afternoon when 2,703 stretched out in the 46,847 seat Coliseum. It could have easily been billed as “Foul Ball for Everyone Day.” The A’s AAA team is in Las Vegas, playing up here in Summerlin, in a 10,000 seat stadium. For their first seven home games the Aviators averaged 7,033 in a town with a hundred other things to do rather than watch minor league baseball.
For those few of us who still remember a daily newspaper, harken back to the 50s, 60s and even early 70s. The dominant home delivery was the afternoon paper; the morning newspaper was secondary in most markets. Actually, the afternoon newspaper was more of an evening paper as delivery had to wait until after school so the kids could get on their bikes and toss them. It arrived in enough time for the Ward Cleavers of the world after a tough day at the office, to come home, sit in the easy chair, still with jacket and tie, and read before June called Wally and the Beav in for dinner. In fact, only 40-50 years ago afternoon sheets outnumbered morning publications by about 4-1. By 2000, with more morning newspapers grabbing increased market share, there were still 600 afternoon dailies serving markets around the country. According to the Wall Street Journal, today there are two. Both are in Montana. The Livingston Enterprise circulates 2,500 papers every day and its sister paper, the Miles City Star, another 1,800. That’s it. That’s sad.
People who need to preface every statement with they are being ‘transparent’ make me uncomfortable. The more they say it, the less I believe them.
This is concerning for a country where almost everything seems to be going the wrong way. According to new data from the Anti-Defamation League, anti-Semitic incidents in the United State rose 34% in 2021 over the previous year.
Double fault. Tennis great Boris Becker was sentenced to two and a half years in prison by a U.K. court last week for concealing assets during bankruptcy. Isn’t that the American way of doing business?
Last night at Madison Square Garden, for the first time in its glorious 140 year history of hosting boxing, a female match-up was the main event. Ireland’s Katie Taylor won an electric split decision over Puerto Rico’s Amanda Serrano retaining her undisputed lightweight championship. All 19,187 seats were filled with a top price of $500. However, it wasn’t the first time ladies headlined inside the Garden ring. On July 1, 1972, the Fabulous Moolah put her World Wide Wrestling Federation championship belt on the line against Vicky Williams. The sellout crowd of 19,512 left happy, with not only Moolah retaining her title, but in the co-feature heavyweight champion Pedro Morales fended off a challenge from the lunatic, George “The Animal” Steele. All was right with the world that night.
Bet you didn’t know that over 22 million new songs are recorded annually. That makes me thankful every day that I don’t subscribe to Spotify.
Something I never knew until now is flight attendants on major U.S. airlines aren’t officially on the payroll clock until all passengers are seated and the airplane’s doors close. Delta, facing an attempt to unionize its cabin attendants, just agreed to pay its personnel 50% of their regular wage when boarding commences. I love when companies step up and do something nice for their employees without any undue outside pressures.
Worth a look on Netflix is Inventing Anna. Stay with it for a couple of episodes. In my book, anything with Julia Garner is worth watching. I think she’s terrific and this is no exception. Worth avoiding on HBO is Winning Time, the far from fact based story of the Los Angeles Lakers emergence into their ‘Showtime’ era. It’s cheesier than a bag of Cheetos. On the movie side, invest two hours in The Survivor on HBO.
Why in basketball is it a foul when the shooter’s hand gets hit after the ball left?
The NBA is entering the second round of its playoffs while the chase for the Stanley Cup, the best of all team sport playoffs, gets started this week. Two of the three pre-season favorites to win their respective titles are gone. The Brooklyn Nets, loaded with talent but no chemistry, snuck into the final playoff spot before being swept by Boston in the first round. In the NHL, Colorado and Vegas were the pre-season favorites to skate the Cup. Colorado was solid all year and should have a fairly easy time getting out of the West. Meanwhile Vegas, hampered by injuries but still in first place in its division ten weeks ago, finished as a train wreck and for the first time in their five year history didn’t qualify for the playoffs. The Knights and Nets will be sharing tee times this week.
Nobody asked me but when it’s all over in the NBA I will go with Golden State over Boston in five games in the Finals. In the NHL, keep an eye on Toronto and Edmonton to surprise but I’m looking at Colorado and the New York Rangers facing off for the Stanley Cup with the Avalanche winning in six.
Is there a more treacherous sports handicapping proposition than trying to forecast the first round of the NFL draft? Conor Orr, the Sports Illustrated draft guru, got two of the 32 picks correct.
Few noticed or even cared but in baseball last weekend Pittsburgh won three of their four games with the Cubs. In the process they were remarkably outscored in the series by 17 runs. The Pirates won 4-3, 4-2 and 4-3. The game they dropped was 21-0.
It certainly was comforting words from the White House that despite VP Kamala Harris testing positive for Covid, she will continue working while in quarantine. Doing what?
And finally, as we wrote a couple of weeks ago, of all the SMC’s we have done, nothing generated more reader response and comments than the piece on April 10, 2022, about Herbie Shainker and his sports betting, When Herbie Talks…. https://royberger.com/sunday-morning-coffee-april-10-2022-when-herbie-talks/. There have been 45 posted comments and still counting. However, the best one came on Thursday from Herbie’s daughter Alyson who lovingly wrote: “Sure, my dad made plenty of time for me and my sisters as children… that’s what halftime was for. I moved out to Vegas for college a few years before he did, and I’ll never forget him asking me to make a bet for him at the Hilton sportsbook. “But dad, I’m only 19,” I exclaimed. “You have a fake ID… USE IT,” he barked back. The Tennessee Titans (under)… I’ll never forget. My son’s bris, my daughter’s birthday parties, holiday dinners, surgeries, labor and delivery… all scheduled around my dad’s games. He’ll let nothing get in the way of his sports betting!”
Happy and a safe May Day, all.

Biag ni Lam-ang (The Life of Lam-ang) is an epic poem of the Ilokano people from the Ilocos region of the Philippines. Recited and written in the original Iloko, the poem is believed to be a composite work of various poets who passed it on through the generations, and was first transcribed around 1640 by a blind Ilokano bard named Pedro Bucaneg. Lam-ang is an extraordinary being, manifesting when he begins to speak in his early years, thus enabling him to choose his own name.His adventures begin when his father, Don Juan, set out for a battle but never returned. At barely nine months, Lam-ang goes to search for Don Juan in the highlands where the latter was said to have gone. Aware that her child was a blessed, exceptional creature, his mother Namongan allows him to go. Lam-ang then goes off in search of his father, leaving his grieving mother behind. When Lam-ang arrives at the place where Don Juan had disappeared, he is enraged to see his father’s severed head atop a bamboo pole; a scene he dreamt beforehand.
Lam-ang demands to the local people why that had happened to his father, but does not receive an answer. Instead, the chieftain of the village tells him to leave under pain of suffering the same fate as his father. Lam-ang defies the caveat and bravely fights the chieftain and his tribesmen. The hero emerges victorious from the battle with little effort, avenging his murdered father. Fom this story, we can realize how the love of a son to his father and

SCV News | Super Scooper Arrival to Los Angeles County Press Conference
As autumn approaches and the temperatures cool the threat of fire danger remains high. Fire officials hosted a press event on Aug. 12, 2016 to announce the annual arrival of a pair of Bombardier CL-415 Super Scoopers.
The Super Scoopers are leased from Quebec to help fight the large fires that are commonly scene in the fall months when the Santa Ana winds become a threat. With the five-year drought and the dry terrain, the threat this year is especially high.
Please prepare before the next fire hits. Pick up a copy of the READY! SET! GO! guide at any LA County Fire Station. Learn what you need to do ahead of the fire to prepare your family and your home.
Be on high alert especially during Red Flag Weather conditions and High Wind/Santa Ana wind events.
Officials remind residents when drones are flown near a wildland fire, firefighting aircraft are required to land, putting lives and property at risk. Please avoid the use of drones in and around a wildland fire incident.(c) 2016 SCVTV
