Job Lottery

In a move to allow more opportunities to workers who may be overqualified a chance at employment, ???? State officials have created a job lottery. Based on the popular regular State lottery idea, companies can submit job vacancies to the state run job lottery. Job seekers register to the lottery site, mail, or state gov. offices. The seekers are then screened and placed under categories based on skills, and any bias for over qualification is taken out. A panel interview is conducted by the agency and a standard ranking is given to a candidate, to qualify for the myriad of possible positions. Every night along with the regular lottery, an employment lottery takes place and winners have 24hrs to call the employment Lottery hot-line. State officials and businesses alike have deemed this program a success after 6mo of trials and an additional 6mo since the program went state wide. Ms. Paxil of the Lottery board states "We are able to match jobs to job seekers in record times and fill positions faster than was possible before." She goes on to say about the employment numbers,"We are seeing dramatic decrease of unemployment rates and state consumer spending is on the rise showing we are in the right direction for moving out of a recession." Some of the requirements of the job seekers is that they must be willing to agree to a term of minimal employment with a range of 1 to 3 years. "We want to ensure we hire people and they stick around even after potentially better jobs become available." says Mr. Chesshir a regional manager for a retailer business. So far the public opinion has be highly favorable towards the lottery and state officials are looking into making this a more permanent part of operations even after the recession is in the past. So if your looking for a job, any job apply and you could be working sooner than later. "It beats interviewing at every place under the sun only to be turned down because of a coin toss. You interview once and then bid your time on unemployment or welfare hoping your number gets called so you can go to work." Says Selina of ?????. "I've been unemployed now for nearly a year since they closed the plant and my only hope was they would call us back, which was not likely. I couldn't even afford to play the real lottery. But its free to play the labor lottery and if you win you feel good to start accomplishing something again." says Mike a recent winner for a stock position a local grocery. "As people start working again people start spending again, and this spending sends signals to business to hire, and thus Economies thrive." Prof. Aukbaur of ????? College. He continues "Will this concept work? So far it seems to be, its jump starting the economy and doing faster than normal job hiring processes have in the past."

Note Worthy News

Man arrested today after being implicated by self in an online harassment suit. In a bizarre twist of events Micheal ???????? hired a lawyer 3 months ago after being harassed online when using both facebook and myspace. He had received a friend request from Greg ??????? who was a contact of a friend of his. Micheal's nightmare thus began. He started receiving unfavorable remarks and torrid remarks on things he would say to his other friends. Greg began ridiculing him and saying he knew where he lived and would like to visit. Greg sought the police department and followed their advice and began taking notes and removed Greg from all of his accounts. This didn't detour Greg from continuing harassment, but in a more subtle way. Using the alias Regg, Greg setup a site devoted to harassment of Micheal and spammed a large number of his contacts with the new site. Greg had registered with false information and it took sometime to track him down. Police said they had a cyber unit start a track of online activity when they noticed some peculiarities. Dept. Verrin, "We noticed that all of Greg and Regg's posts were coming from Micheal's IP, we immediately sent a team over to his house as we suspected Greg had compromised his system." It appears not only did Greg compromise Michael's system but Greg was Michael. Dr. Pallo worked with investigators and found that 6mo ago Michael suffured a minor breakdown. As a coping mechanism and unbeknown to family or friends he developed a split personality. Dr. Pallo said, "Normally we see this type of behavior act out as voice heard in a persons head, Schizophrenia, but this is a delayed version of Schizophrenia."
The case for obvious reasons was dropped and Michael is now seeing a Cyber-psychiatrist online twice a week in 2nd life.

Useless Time Machine

It's amazing we stand on the brink of a new dawn, as the makers of a new time travel device are honored in Europe. Called Retroprobe, the developers created a robot with an instruction set to collect samples and return to the capsule with in a set amount of time while in history. The pod was sent back to the year 1948, in an area at the time was vacant. Upon the pod's return the robot was released and samples where scrutinized. carbon dating found that the samples were indeed from 1948.
The scientist excited then tried another experiment and sent plants and insects in the pod to again 1948 and immediately returned the pod for observation. When the pod came back the plants and insects were normal. Next they created an even larger pod and sent a trained dog to again 1948 with commands to exit and return. The good dog did as it was trained and when the pod returned the dog was in normal health, and samples of the oxygen were found to be consistent of air quality of that area at the time.
Finally they were ready for human trials. They again chose to send subjects back to 1948 and do progressively more riguruss tests and collections. All were successful, and now the scientists insist that they do historical marker checks and record history via photographic means as a test of bringing back history. The went back in time every 100 years until 1048. At which they decided to go back to the age of the dinosaurs to get proof once and for all. So they got the pod ready and sent it back 30 million years into the past. After the scheduled time frame the pod didn't return. Now the pod was designed to return after 48 hours. When that time came the pod did return but not in the exact same place where it had left. So far the time machine left and returned to same spot it was sent. Luckily for the scientists they had put a homing beacon on the device in the case this happened. The found the case 400 miles away from its location and it appeared as if it had suffered a fall from quite a distance.
The person inside was dead and things were also difficult to explain. The autopsy report indicated the subject died from exposure to extreme cold, similar to conditions found in space. So this perplexed scientists. Many theories arose and people were debating the location of even the Earth. But after much debate a person spoke up with the Idea that they should look at historical and biblical records and start tracing back from those little by little and see if there was any existence before the silly notion of creation. To humor the man the scientist sent back the original pod with the robot to collect samples starting at just before the supposed flood. The pod returned with samples and they kept doing this until the last mission it completed.
With this mission the pod actually entered into empty space, not unlike when then person went back to the age of the dinosaurs. this time though something interacted with the pod, sending a message back. When the pod returned there was no one there to retrieve it. Earth was completely empty of all life. The scientist were gone, the people were gone, everything was gone. The message the robot inside began to speak as the pod opened up. "I am returning the day was today, the hour was now."

There were two kids named Marty and James.
Marty says to James "Knock, knock."
"Who's there ?" James replies.
""Boo" Marty says.
"Boo who?" James answers.
To which Marty responds "Don't cry it's only a joke," and gives a slight giggle.
James not understanding the joke states "That's not funny."
Feeling hurt he goes to his teacher and says that James was bullying him on the play ground. Explaining his version of what transpired Marty's parents are informed that they must pickup their child immediately from school for reasons of bullying other children.
They comply in utter shock, and bewilderment. The school contacts social services to investigate the child's home, and local law enforcement is contacted for a formal investigation and to pursue bullying charges be brought against Marty.
They substantiate the charges based on the state law and school rules, and open a criminal case against Marty. Marty is removed from his home via social services and placed in a juvenile detention center. His parents are then notified that they were facing charges of Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor.
Marty was found guilty and remanded to the state for rehabilitation. Once complete, then to foster care.
Marty's Parents were found guilty as well, teaching and indoctrinating bullying practices and sentenced to life w/o parole.

In our modern day and age it's not what you say but how it is interpreted. Sure it’s a little far-fetched but just you wait until it happens for real. I read a few articles today about people’s freedom of speech having been squelched via posting online. The Internet is a public forum but, a web page, blog, etc. They’re more of a private residence and you must navigate to that place to read its contents. By doing so you are making a conscious effort to read someone’s thoughts, ideas, and ramblings. If you don't like what you read that is OK, you don't have to go there.

My Online Shared Regsiter

Here is something that I created to help Naomi and I keep track of our spending and be able to use with our new web enabled phones. I built a fancy Balance, Register, Category/List and Report in Excel. Then I ported the essentials to Google Docs. The essentials were the balance of our bank accounts, the register, and the categories(not really required though). I then created a form on Google Docs which handles the entering of information into the Register just like a checkbook register. The benefit to this is that both Naomi and I have access to this register where as if we each had our own register we would have to reconcile to each others regularly to get an accurate balance. The information in the registered is then copied and pasted into the fancy one in excel where I can get monthly and yearly spending reports and balance changes on loans, retirement accts, etc. Here are screen shots of the online forms with some personal data blacked out but you should get the idea. Notice the color differences on the balance, a rule is set so that green is show to have a balance greater than $xx.xx and yellow is between that and $xx.xx and then red indicates you're balance is below min yellow amt or negative.

What's New

Naomi went to Kansas over the weekend on a whirlwind tour with Niki a good friend from her work. They seemed to have enjoyed themselves, they left Thursday night and came back Sunday. The objective was to put one a couple rabies clinics in Manhattan, and Hutchinson.

That left the boys and me on our own over the weekend. We were as usual up to no good, but the boys did out do themselves by weeding out their toys and cleaning their room. They were excited to find a toy that we had gotten for them a few months before we moved to Ohio, headbanger bowling.

Noteworthy Christopher signed up for Cub Scouts and he is a tiger cub. We had his first pack meeting on Sept 29th, which was more informational for parents, but the kids did play a game and got a snack. We signed the whole family up for 'Scary Camp 3' which is at Camp Oyo.
