“What we need from you,” the TV news producer said, “is a quick look at the unemployment numbers. It should seem you’ve done lots of research on this and are digging deep to give us the low-down. Of course, we don’t have time for real depth, but a scowl and a slight twitch will cover that.”
I practiced scowling and twitching. Unemployment numbers come out monthly and the news media cover them as diligently as violations of selected commandments.
Not only do we get the national numbers, but we get state and county numbers as well. It’s a feast without nutrition attended by the entire country.

Sarasota County funded and will move forward a road construction project that will allow the lake to become 2,000 meters — the international standard and a status that will help Benderson Park draw up to 12 regattas annually.
Now Manatee County wants in the game, and on Tuesday they were given a crash course on exactly how to do so.
Manatee River could be the next venue for a 5,000-meter head race and a practice headquarters for dozens of collegiate teams around the nation, said Benderson project manager Paul Blackketter.
Manatee County’s partnership would strengthen and regionalize the success already experienced at Benderson Park, located on North Cattlemen Road just south of University Parkway.
The park has hosted four regattas in the past two months, which drew more than $4 million to the local economy, Blackketter said.
About 32,000 people attended the four events.
The conditions for a head race launching on Manatee River at the DeSoto Bridge and spanning 5,000 meters to the east are ideal, planners say.
“We have the distance, we have the width, we have the water,” Blackketter continued.

The word “hippotherapy” may sound very strange to someone who has never heard it before. However, hippos is actually the Ancient Greek word for horse: in this kind of physical therapy, patients with disabilities spend time riding and interacting with horses. Proponents of this practice claim that it can have a wide range of physical and emotional benefits for those who undergo it.
It is important to note that horses have been integrated into certain kinds of psychological therapy, but this is not the same as hippotherapy. While the practice discussed in this article may well have mental or emotional benefits, its primary focus is on helping people with physical disabilities increase their motor skills. For

These days some parts of America, especially poorer neighborhoods, are beginning to look like victims of bombing raids, as whole city blocks are up for bulldozing following a recession blighted by unemployment, failed mortgages, and foreclosures.
But it doesn’t have to be this way … that is, if the American spirit of free enterprise is allowed to work its magic.
Enter the real estate wholesaler from the left, please. America’s latest breed of entrepreneurs is paying cash for houses regardless of condition, then flipping them on for a profit of just $10,000 a few days later. Real
