An unexpected rise in pressure inside the tsunami-crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant\'s leaking Unit 3 reactor forces operators to consider relieving pressure by releasing radioactive steam. The same dangerous tactic produced explosions in the early days of the crisis. The plan is suspended later Sunday after the plant\'s operator said the reactor had stabilized. The option is still possible if pressure rises anew.</p>\n                <p>• PROGRESS IN COOLING, RESTORING POWER TO OTHER REACTORS. Reactor Units 5 and 6 at the power plant were brought under control after days of pumping water into their fuel storage pools cooled temperatures to acceptable levels. Progress also was reported in reconnecting those units and two others to the electrical grid.</p>\n                <p>• NO FUTURE FOR PLANT. The government says the entire Fukushima Dai-ichi complex would be scrapped once the emergency is resolved.</p>\n                <p>• SURVIVORS FOUND. An 80-year-old woman and her teenage grandson are rescued in northeastern Japan when the youth is able to pull himself out of their flattened two-story house nine days after the earthquake and tsunami. Both are conscious but weak, having survived on the food they had in their refrigerator.</p>\n                <p>• DEATH TOLL RISES TO MORE THAN 8,000. Police say 8,450 people have died and 12,931 are missing from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. The death toll has been steadily rising as searchers find bodies from the 9.0-magnitude quake and tsunami. At the same time, the number of missing has risen as survivors and relatives come to terms with the twin disasters and contact police regarding loved ones who remain unaccounted for.</p>\n                <p>• OFFICIAL: IODINE PILLS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED EARLIER. A Japanese nuclear safety official says the government was caught off-guard by the disaster and only belatedly realized the need to give potassium iodide to those living within 12 miles (20 kilometers) of the Fukushima plant. The pills help reduce the chances of thyroid cancer, one of the diseases that may develop from radiation exposure. The official, Kazuma Yokota, says a March 14 explosion at the plant\'s Unit 3 reactor should have triggered the distribution but the order did not come until two days later.</p>\n                <p>• TAIWAN FINDS RADIATION ON IMPORTED JAPANESE BEANS. Taiwanese officials say radiation has been detected on fava beans imported from Japan, although the amount is too small to harm human health. It\'s the first case of radiation found on Japanese imports amid the nuclear crisis.</p>\n                <p>• JAPAN TRIES TO EASE FEARS ON FOOD CONTAMINATION. The government halts sales of spinach from one area and raw milk from another near the Fukushima complex after tests showed iodine radiation exceeding safety limits. Contamination spreads to spinach in three other prefectures and to the vegetables canola and chrysanthemum greens. Tokyo\'s tap water, found to have iodine, now has cesium too.</p>\n                <p>• TOKYO POWER COMPANY WORKING TO EASE BLACKOUTS. Tokyo Electric Power Co., the owner of the Fukushima complex, says it will try to ease power shortages in Tokyo by restarting a gas-fired generating station that was shut down after the quake. Damage to both nuclear and conventional generators has forced the utility to impose rolling blackouts on densely populated Tokyo, which produces 40 percent of Japan\'s economic output.</p>\n                <p>• EVACUATED U.S. MILITARY FAMILIES ARRIVE HOME. Nearly 240 U.S. military family members fleeing Japan in voluntary repatriation arrive at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. They\'re the first of what is expected to be thousands of military personnel and their families leaving mainly over concerns about radiation.</p>\n                <p>\n            </p></div></div><p><strong>Read more:</strong> <a class=\"rssreadon\" rel=\"external\" title=\"Developments in Japan\'s disasters, nuclear crisis   (AP)\" href=\"http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/world/*http%3A//news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110320/ap_on_re_as/as_japan_earthquake_today\" target=\"_blank\">http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/world/*http%3A//news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110320/ap_on_re_as/as_japan_earthquake_today</a></p>',-2,5,0,43,'2011-03-20 12:10:00',62,'','0000-00-00 00:00:00',0,0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00','2011-03-20 12:10:00','2011-04-03 12:34:19','','','show_intro=0',1,0,0,'','',0,1,''),(648,'Spokesman: Wyclef Jean shot in hand in Haiti   (AP)','spokesman-wyclef-jean-shot-in-hand-in-haiti-ap','','<p><a href=\"http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/entertainment/*http%3A//news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110320/ap_en_ot/cb_haiti_wyclef_jean_shot\"><img src=\"http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20110320/capt.887c95ca627144ec84a8f8576d9139c4-c6c65ffadd5e4e7396de80f7bb02026c-0.jpg?x=130&amp;y=82&amp;q=85&amp;sig=544m7B6E5eiuAtHBiGe_dg--\" height=\"82\" width=\"130\" alt=\"Spokesman: Wyclef Jean shot in hand in Haiti   (AP)\" style=\"float: left; border: 0px;\" />\n</a>AP - Hip-hop star Wyclef Jean was recovering Sunday after receiving a gunshot wound to the hand while campaigning for a fellow performer who is running for president.</p><br style=\"clear: both;\" />','<div><div class=\"yn-story-content\">\n                <p>PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Hip-hop star Wyclef Jean was recovering Sunday after receiving a gunshot wound to the hand while campaigning for a fellow performer who is running for president.</p>\n                <p>The shooting happened in the Delmas section of the capital, Port-au-Prince, after 11 p.m. local time Saturday (11 p.m. EDT; 0300 Sunday GMT) said Joe Mignon, senior program director for Jean\'s Yele Foundation.

She\'s earned a reputation as dignified and unflappable over 16 years on the bench, but at times the buildup to Bonds\' perjury trial has tested even her patience.</p>\n                <p>Illston comes to the Bonds cases, which starts with jury selection on Monday, having handled an enormous variety of legal issues.</p>\n                <p>She\'s sentenced child pornographers to prison. She\'s overruled the Bush administration by barring off-road vehicles in the Mojave Desert. She\'s presided over a novel human rights trial in which Nigerian villagers were demanding billions from Chevron Corp. after accusing it of backing the deadly military putdown of a protest against the oil giant. And she\'s in charge of a complex class-action lawsuit alleging price fixing among companies that manufacture television screens and computer monitors.</p>\n                <p>Illston has kept a matter-of-fact demeanor through it all. But when prosecutors announced in 2009, as the Bonds trial neared, that they were appealing an important ruling of hers barring critical evidence, the judge didn\'t hide her anger. She lectured the government lawyers about how disruptive and expensive their appeal was to a court that was fully geared up to accommodate a media circus.</p>\n                <p>Yet in the first hearing after the prosecutors lost that appeal, Illston neither gloated nor mentioned her vindication. It was business as usual again for a case that has dragged on since Bonds\' indictment in 2007 — and really since 2003, when the first of the sports Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO) doping cases were assigned to her courtroom.</p>\n                <p>Since the new year began, the Bonds case has generated a blizzard of legal motions in the run up to Monday\'s trial. The slugger is accused of making false statements to a grand jury and obstructing justice by saying that he never knowingly took performance-enhancing drugs, and Illston has been asked to rule on legal issues small and large, the Playboy dispute among them.</p>\n                <p>\"I don\'t really care to see the photograph,\" Illston deadpanned at the time. But she ruled that jurors could read the Playboy article.</p>\n                <p>It was, legal observers said, the latest example of Illston\'s ability to cut to the nub of legal disagreements with straightforward and sensible rulings. Prosecutors wanted both items introduced and Bonds lawyers wanted neither.</p>\n                <p>Illston split the dispute down the middle.</p>\n                <p>Jurors could use the Playboy interview to help determine the credibility of the former mistress, who will testify that Bonds often flew into steroid-induced rages during their relationship. The photographs, the judge decided, were prurient.</p>\n                <p>In recent weeks, she\'s decided: Bell can testify that Bonds\' testicles shrank during their relationship (a sign of steroid use) and longtime clubhouse attendant Mike Murphy can discuss Bonds\' hat size growing (another sign) and other arcane issues rarely heard in a federal court.</p>\n                <p>The 62-year-old Illston presided over nearly a dozen criminal cases, two trials and countless headline-making developments spawned by the BALCO saga. But this one is something of a milestone.

That is down only slightly from the&#13;\n69% figure in 2006, or, statistically speaking, essentially no change at all&#13;\n(the margin of error is in the 2.4-2.8% range). <p>&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\nNewspapers still top the \'net, with&#13;\n27% saying that is where they get most of their election news, but that is down&#13;\nfrom 34% in 2006. Newspapers also now rank behind online news sources for the&#13;\nunder-50 crowd, according to the study.</p><p>&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\nIf, as they say, all politics is&#13;\nlocal, then the most popular source of coverage is as well. The study found&#13;\nthat \"local news programming\" was the top source of TV news at 33%.&#13;\nThe study did not break that out between local broadcast news and regional news&#13;\nchannels like a News Channel 8 in Washington. </p><p>&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\nThe next biggest source was Fox News&#13;\nChannel at 26%, up from 21% in 2006; NBC Network News was next at 12%, but down&#13;\nfrom 17% in 2006. CNN was next at 14%, but also down from 17% in 2006; followed&#13;\nby ABC Network News at 10%, down from 5%; CBS Network News at 9%, down from&#13;\n13%, MSNBC at 5%, down from 6%; and CNBC at 2%, down from 3%. </p><p>&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\nBut Fox, CNN and MSNBC are also&#13;\nmajor players in the online space, according to the study. CNN.com was the&#13;\nmain source of online political news at 22%, followed by Yahoo at 20%, Google&#13;\nat 13% and Fox at 10%. MSNBC was the main source for 7% of respondents.&#13;\nAccording to PEW, Republicans, Tea Party supporters and conservatives were more&#13;\nlikely to watch Fox, while Democrats, liberals and those not supporting the Tea&#13;\nParty were more likely to watch CNN, MSNBC or the network newscasts.</p><p>&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\nThe increased use of online for&#13;\ncampaign info is a double-edged sword. While 61% of the respondents said&#13;\nit exposes people to a wider range of political views than traditional media,&#13;\n56% say it is \"usually difficult\" for them to tell what online&#13;\ninformation is true and what is not. Could that be because of the absence of&#13;\nthat trusted traditional media editorial function, despite the fact that&#13;\nveteran media outlet CNN is the most-visited single site? The report\'s author,&#13;\nAaron Smith, Pew Internet Senior Research Specialist, sees it more as&#13;\nrespondents being worried about effects on others that they don\'t see on&#13;\nthemselves. \"Generally when we ask these types of questions, we see people&#13;\nresponding very positively to the Internet\'s benefits to them personally&#13;\nwhile expressing concern for the Internet\'s impacts on other people or society&#13;\nin general,\" he says. \"They say it makes it easier for me to connect&#13;\nwith other people and expose me to a wider range of traditional viewpoints, but&#13;\nI worry that other people are being exposed to extreme comments or&#13;\nmisinformation.\"</p><p>&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\nBut there could be some of that lack&#13;\nof trusted moderator. He pointed out that while CNN is listed at the top,&#13;\nthe single biggest category was the \"long tail\" of 29% who picked the&#13;\n\"somewhere else\" category.</p><p>&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\nAnd while 54% of said the \'net makes&#13;\nit easier to connect with others who share their political views, 55% said it&#13;\nalso increases the influence of those with extreme views. Maybe that answer&#13;\ncould be a key to the one about determining the truth online?&#13;\n\"Absolutely,\" says Smith. \"Increasing the influence of people&#13;\nwith extreme viewpoints, I would expect that regardless of your political affiliation&#13;\nyou are probably thinking about \'the other guys\' when you are answering that&#13;\nquestion.</p><p>&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\nThe report was based on a daily&#13;\ntracking (phone) poll of Internet use.

Moreover, 24 percent of survey respondents reported having an app that helps them get news about their local community, which equates to 13 percent of all device owners and 11 percent of the total American adult population, the Pew Research Center said.&#13;\n</p>\n                <p>&#13;\nThe dilemma that local publishers face is that only 10 percent of the adults who currently use mobile apps for this purpose actually pay for their mobile news consumption -- equivalent to just one percent of the U.S. adult population. By contrast, 36 percent of all U.S. adults reported paying for some form of local news, with the vast majority paying for local print newspaper subscriptions.&#13;\n</p>\n                <p>&#13;\n\"Many news organizations are looking to mobile platforms -- in particular, mobile apps -- to provide new ways to generate subscriber and advertising revenues in local markets,\" noted Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Research Center\'s Internet and American Life Project. \"The survey suggests there is a long way to go before that happens.\"&#13;\n</p>\n                <p>&#13;\n<b>&#13;\nUnwilling To Pay&#13;\n</b>&#13;\n</p>\n                <p>&#13;\nFor many consumers, mobile access to local news and information is not only considered practical but is valued because it occurs in real time. According to Pew\'s latest survey results, 42 percent of mobile-device owners report getting weather updates and 37 percent receive information about restaurants or other local businesses on their phones or tablets. &#13;\n</p>\n                <p>&#13;\nThe problem for publishers is that about three out of four survey respondents reported they would not be willing to pay for online access to local news and information. Just 23 percent said they would pay $5 a month to get full access to local newspaper content, and 18 percent would be willing to pay $10 per month.  &#13;\n</p>\n                <p>&#13;\nFor the first time, more Pew survey respondents indicated they received their news from the web rather than from newspapers, with the Internet now trailing only television among American adults as the prime destination for news. Still, there is some potentially good news in the data for publishers, noted Kristen Purcell, associate director of the Pew Internet project.&#13;\n</p>\n                <p>&#13;\n\"We found that adults who consume local news on mobile devices are almost twice as likely as other adults to say they would be willing to pay to access their local newspaper online,\" Purcell explained. \"The percentage willing to pay is even higher among local app users.\"  &#13;\n</p>\n                <p>&#13;\n<b>&#13;\nGrowing Pains&#13;\n</b>&#13;\n</p>\n                <p>&#13;\nCompared with other U.S. adults, mobile consumers of local news are younger and live in higher-income households -- two key demographics highly valued by advertisers. However, the digital-content industry is still struggling to arrive at a consensus for how to best provide the data advertisers need about consumer behavior across multiple sites, platforms and devices. According to Pew\'s new survey, 51 percent of mobile consumers of local news and information use six or more sources or platforms monthly for this purpose.&#13;\n</p>\n                <p>&#13;\nThough three advertising trade groups unveiled an initiative this month to standardize confusing digital-media metrics, Pew researchers said the task will not be easy. And despite booming iPad sales, Apple charges digital publishers 30 percent of the subscription revenue and maintains ownership of the highly coveted audience data, though news companies are trying to push back. &#13;\n</p>\n                <p>&#13;\n\"One new effort involves online publishers starting their own ad exchanges, rather than having middlemen do it for them,\" Pew researchers noted. \"NBC, CBS and Forbes are among those launching their own, tired of sharing revenue and having third parties take their audience data.\"</p>\n                <p>\n            </p></div></div><p><strong>Read more:</strong> <a class=\"rssreadon\" rel=\"external\" title=\"Local News Goes Mobile -- But Few Are Willing To Pay\" href=\"http://news.yahoo.com/s/nf/20110314/tc_nf/77700\" target=\"_blank\">http://news.yahoo.com/s/nf/20110314/tc_nf/77700</a></p>',-2,5,0,35,'2011-03-14 17:00:00',62,'','0000-00-00 00:00:00',0,0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00','2011-03-14 17:00:00','2011-04-03 12:36:24','','','show_intro=0',1,0,0,'','',0,0,''),(673,'Half of Americans get local news on gadgets','half-of-americans-get-local-news-on-gadgets','','When you want news or information about your community, do you sometimes turn to your cell phone or tablet computer?

If so, you\'ve got plenty of company.</p> <p>According to <a href=\"http://pewinternet.org/Reports/2011/Local-mobile-news/Part-1/Some-local-news-goes-mobile.aspx\" target=\"new\">new research from the Pew Internet and American Life Project</a>, nearly half (47%) of all U.S. adults get at least some local news and information on their phone or tablet.</p> <p>According to Pew, here are the types of local information that mobile users reported they\'ve been getting:</p> <p>Weather: 42% </p> <p>Local restaurants and other businesses: 37% </p> <p>General local news: 30%</p> <p>Local sports scores and updates: 24% </p> <p>Local traffic and transportation: 22% </p> <p>Local coupons and discounts: 19% </p> <p>News alerts: 15% </p> <p>The growing trend in mobile local news and information isn\'t strictly a matter of civic consciousness; weather, dining and shopping did top the list, after all.</p> <p>However, Pew did find that \"[m]ore than a third (35%) of mobile local information consumers say they and others like them can have a big impact on their community. That compares with 27% of those who do not connect to their communities on their mobile devices who feel that level of personal efficacy.\" </p> <p>Most mobile local news and information consumers (65%) believe that it\'s now easier to keep up with information about their community than it was five years ago. About half get local news via six or more different sources or types of media each month. And three-fourths use social networking services like Twitter or Facebook.</p> <p>About half of U.S. Hispanics (52%) and African-Americans (51%) reported getting local mobile news or information. Whites were slightly behind, at 45%.</p> <p>Despite conventional wisdom that young people don\'t care much about news or community, people ages 18 to 29 were by far most likely (70%) to access local information online -- and nearly half of these younger adults specifically report obtaining local news via their mobile devices.</p> <p>Among people ages 30 to 49, 63% get mobile local news or information. This dropped to 33% for people ages 50 to 64, and to 8% for those 65 and older.</p> <p>People who are parents of minor children are especially likely (64%) to get local mobile news or information -- compared with only 40% of people with no minor children.</p> <p>The mobile digital divide is evident on the local front. Wealthier people are especially likely to be mobile local news and information consumers. </p> <p>Among households earning $75,000 per year or more, 67% use cell phones or tablets to get local news or information, while only 39% of households earning $30,000 or less per year do so. Also, 58% of college graduates are local mobile news consumers, compared with 25% of people with less than a high school education.</p> <p>Also, while Pew didn\'t specifically explore this issue, the mobile consumption<b> </b>of local news and information definitely isn\'t just a smartphone thing.</p> <p>Pew surveyed 2,251 adults via both land lines and cell phones, so it did not focus solely on smartphone and tablet users. This is key, since smartphones are still in the minority. </p> <p><a href=\"http://www.comscore.com/Press_Events/Press_Releases/2011/3/comScore_Reports_January_2011_U.S._Mobile_Subscriber_Market_Share\" target=\"new\">According to ComScore</a>, as of January 2011, just under 30% of all U.S. cell phone users owned smartphones. Plus, Pew reports that currently, only 7% of U.S. adults own tablets (mostly iPads) and that most of those people also already own smartphones.</p> <p>Therefore, a substantial number of people must be getting local news and information via cheaper, simpler feature phones, the next step down in features<b> </b>from smartphones. All of these phones can do text messaging, and most of them can also do e-mail and Web browsing -- just with a clunkier, more limited interface and a slower data connection.</p> <p>This is significant because feature phones are probably not going away anytime soon. While smartphones are getting more popular, the huge popularity of feature phones is likely to continue for at least a few years. Most consumers aren\'t willing or able to pay the typically high costs for smartphone handsets and carrier contracts. Also, many consumers simply prefer less complex mobile devices.</p> <p>Furthermore, feature phones are getting smarter and more useful. In particular, in the coming year, Qualcomm\'s deal to make <a href=\"http://www.knightdigitalmediacenter.org/news_blog/comments/20110215_qualcomm_opera_deal_could_dramatically_boost_mobile_web_audience/\" target=\"new\">Opera Mini the default browser on feature phones</a> powered by its popular BREW MP platform will vastly improve the Web browsing experience for a large portion of feature phone users. An improved user experience may soon lead to a boom in feature-phone Web browsing of all kinds, including for local news and information.</p> <p>Notably, only 13% of mobile users reported having a local news or information application (\"app\") installed on their phone. This means that for most local news and information producers, getting an iPhone or Android app probably shouldn\'t be the first step in their mobile strategy. </p> <p>Other mobile channels -- especially the mobile Web, e-mail, text messaging and social media integration -- can serve a far larger mobile audience.</p> <p>In fact, Pew discovered that the only real difference between users of local news mobile apps and other adults is that local news app users tend to be generally more into high-tech. </p> <p>They aren\'t even generally more affluent: Only 19% of Americans with an annual household income of $75,000 or more have local mobile news apps, compared with 12% of people from households earning $30,000 or less per year.</p> <p>The survey was conducted January 12-25. Its margin of error is plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.</p> <p class=\"cnnInline\"><i>The opinions expressed in this post are solely those of Amy Gahran.</i></p><div class=\"cnn_strybtntoolsbttm\">\n\n\n\n	\n\n</div>\n<div class=\"cnn_strybtmcntnt\">\n\n\n  &#13;\n<div class=\"cnn_strybtmmorebx\" id=\"outbrain_ext_element\"> &#13;\n  <div class=\"cnn_strybtmmbx1\"><h4>We recommend</h4>&#13;\n  &#13;\n    </div>&#13;\n&#13;\n  <div class=\"cnn_strybtmmbx2\"><h4>From around the web</h4>&#13;\n    &#13;\n    &#13;\n  </div>&#13;\n  &#13;\n</div>&#13;\n&#13;\n&#13;\n\n&lt;![CDATA[@import \"http://media.disqus.com/themes/cnn2/cnn2.css\";]]&gt;</div></div></div><p><strong>Read more:</strong> <a class=\"rssreadon\" rel=\"external\" title=\"Half of Americans get local news on gadgets\" href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/mobile/03/16/pew.mobile.gahran/index.html?eref=rss_tech\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/mobile/03/16/pew.mobile.gahran/index.html?eref=rss_tech</a></p>',-2,5,0,35,'2011-03-16 12:50:00',62,'','0000-00-00 00:00:00',0,0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00','2011-03-16 12:50:00','2011-04-03 12:36:25','','','show_intro=0',1,0,0,'','',0,0,''),(674,'Local News Getting Mobile','local-news-getting-mobile','','Nearly half of all Americans get their local news on a mobile device, though few are paying to read their local news on the go, according to a new study by Pew Research Center\'s Internet &amp; American Life Project released Monday.','<div><div class=\"articlePage\">\n                <h3 class=\"byline\">By Michael Hickins</h3><p>Nearly half of all Americans get their local news on a mobile device, though few are paying to read their local news on the go, according to a new study by Pew Research Center’s Internet &amp; American Life Project released Monday.

How might local news producers capitalize on this growing trend to build their business, and their communities?...\n</strong></p>		    <p>Pew laid out the landscape: <i>“Local news is a largely untapped and undeveloped market for news companies. Many local advertisers such as restaurant owners or small-business people are not yet online. At the same time, technology companies like Google and Facebook are moving more heavily into soliciting and enabling local advertising.”</i><br /></p><p></p><p><b>Research highlights.</b> This survey of 2,251 US adults 18 and over was conducted in English and Spanish Jan. 12-25, 2011. This was a joint project of the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Pew Internet &amp; American Life Project, with support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.<br /></p><p>Here are the types of local news and info that mobile users report they’ve been getting on their phones and tablets:\n	\n	</p><ul><li>Weather: 42%\n	</li><li>Local restaurants and businesses: 37%\n	</li><li>General local news: 30%\n	</li><li>Local sports scores and updates: 24%\n	</li><li>Local traffic and transportation: 22%\n	</li><li>Local coupons and discounts: 19%\n	</li><li>News alerts: 15%\n	</li></ul><p>\n	<br /></p><p>So although general news doesn’t top the list, the two most popular categories do indicate some editorial and advertising opportunities. \n	\n	</p><p>For instance, local sites could community calendar listings to indicate events that might be especially good in sunny weather vs. indoor events for rainy days. Then they could partner with weather information sites or apps to integrate these event listings as a way to draw people interested in weather news further into community life (and further into the news site, with more exposure to ads, sponsorships, and other revenue strategies).\n	\n	</p><p>Similarly, the popularity of mobile local info about restaurants and businesses indicates not only potential mobile offerings for local advertisers, but also the need to make your local food and business content especially mobile friendly—and perhaps package it as a branded mobile service.\n	\n	</p><p><b>Building tomorrow’s local news market.</b> Mobile can be a key tool to grow your long-term local news/info market. Contrary to popular opinion, Pew found that young adults (ages 18-29) are by far the most likely age group (70%) to use mobile local news or info. Also, nearly half (47%) of these people report that they <i>specifically seek local news</i> on their cell phones or tablets.\n	\n	</p><p>Also, parents with minor children were especially likely (64%) to get local news/info on mobile devices. Only 40% of people with no minor children are mobile local news/info users.\n\n	</p><p><b>Apps not really so great for direct revenue.</b> This study reinforces the argument that apps are probably not the best starting point for your mobile news strategy, especially for local news.\n	\n	</p><p>Only 13% of mobile local news/info users report having local news/info apps—and the only distinguishing characteristic of this group is that they tend to be more into high tech. They’re not even generally much more affluent than other mobile local news/info users.\n	\n	</p><p>Many news orgs are attracted to news apps because they provide the option of charging users directly for content—either with a fee to purchase the app, or by supporting subscriptions. But apps are not where most mobile users turn to get their local news/info, which undermines the premise of an app-focused mobile news strategy. \n	\n	</p><p>Pew notes: <i>“Currently, only 10% of adults use mobile apps to connect to local news and information have paid for those apps, according to our survey. This represents only 1% of the total US adult population. The vast majority access their local apps for free.”</i>\n	\n	</p><p>In general, Pew’s research doesn’t offer much hope for getting people to pay for local news via any digital channel: \n	\n	</p><p><i>“Roughly three-quarters of adults say they would not be willing to pay for online access to their local newspaper, even if it was the only way to access the newspaper’s content. ...[But] in what may be a positive sign to news organizations, adults who consume their news on mobile devices are more likely than other adults to say they would be willing to pay a fee. Mobile news consumers are almost twice as likely as other adults to say they would pay a $5 monthly fee for access to their local newspaper online (30% vs. 17%). And among local app users, 38% are willing to pay that amount. There is less enthusiasm among mobile news consumers and local app users when the proposed fee is $10 per month.”</i>\n	\n	</p><p>Pew also asked all survey participants what impact the disappearance of their local newspaper might have on on their ability to keep up with community news/info:\n	\n	</p><ul><li>Major impact: 28% of adults\n	</li><li>Minor impact: 30%\n	</li><li><b>No impact: 39%</b> “Most likely to respond this way were younger adults (under age 50), those with broadband at home, those who say they do not enjoy getting news, and those who usually get news from just one or two platforms.”\n	</li></ul><p>\n	<br /></p><p></p><p><b>Mobile means ALL phones, not just smartphones.</b> The Pew study did not specifically examine the divide between feature phones and smartphones. However, looking at the numbers it’s obvious that—since (<a href=\"http://www.comscore.com/Press_Events/Press_Releases/2011/3/comScore_Reports_January_2011_U.S._Mobile_Subscriber_Market_Share\">according to ComScore</a>) smartphones currently comprise only 27% of US cell phone market, and since Pew says only 7% of US adults have table computers (and most of them also have smartphones)—a large portion of mobile local news/info usage is happening on simpler, cheaper feature phones. <br /></p><p>This means that local news providers need to keep the full range of mobile devices in mind when developing their mobile strategy, especially their mobile web strategy. Don’t just design for advanced smartphones with full touchscreens,  fully featured browsers, and reliably fast data connections. Also, remember that the BlackBerry is still one of the most popular types of smartphones—and many BlackBerries lack touchscreens and advanced browsers.\n	\n	</p><p>The News for Digital Journalists blog is made possible by a grant to USC Annenberg from the <a href=\"http://knightfoundation.org/\">John S. and James L.

Though many no doubt would fight him for the title of the Apple CEO’s most fervent follower, he’s got the website, www.allaboutstevejobs, to prove it.','<div><div id=\"articleBody\" class=\"articleBody\"><div class=\"articleViewerGroup\" id=\"articleViewerGroup\"><span class=\"articleEmbeddedViewerBox\"><span><span></span></span></span></div><span>Romain Moisescot likes Steve Jobs -- a lot.No, he\'s not the only one, as is evident by the outpouring of delight and well-wishes after the ailing Jobs appeared on stage to launch the iPad 2, Apple\'s latest version of its latest product to change the world.But not everyone has spent a considerable chunk of his recent life curating and contributing to a website that is all Jobs all the time, simply as a labor of love.\"I think there is not, maybe in recent history, a businessman that had such an impact on several industries and who is also really enigmatic,\" Moisescot, 24, a French business student studying in Paris, told me by iPhone. \"It\'s the impact that his personality has had on so many millions of people\'s lives.\"I\'d called Moisescot to find out how these sorts of things get started and what it is that might drive someone to pour his heart and soul into building a digital shrine to a tech god.Moisescot, who shares a birthday with the Apple CEO, says his interest was sparked by \"The Second Coming of Steve Jobs,\" a biography that focused on the years Jobs was between Apple jobs. The book, he says, convinced him that while Apple was interesting, the man behind it was fascinating.So, he began reading more about Jobs and collecting photographs from the Web. He wrote a 60-page biography based on his reading. And in 2006 he launched <a href=\"http://allaboutstevejobs.com\">allaboutstevejobs.com</a>. He\'s since </span></div>started a blog and added sections on Jobs news, history and trivia. There are sections on Jobs\' \"food habits\" and \"clothing habits.\"<p>Yes, the site can feel a little creepy. And it\'s unlikely Apple is thrilled with it. The company is notorious for keeping tight control over its image and that of its CEO. (The Cupertino company passed on sharing with me its thoughts on the site.)</p><p>But Moisescot insists, somewhat convincingly, that he\'s spreading the joy of Jobs to tens of thousands (at least) around the world. He points out his site is ad-free. It makes no money.</p><p>\"Most people start out being amazed by Apple products,\" says Moisescot, who works as a Google intern in Paris, \"and then they go deeper and find out about Steve Jobs.\" </p><p>We have our own celebrities and our own way of worshiping them in Silicon Valley. A casual cool is the custom. You might see Mark Zuckerberg at Antonio\'s Nut House or Sergey Brin at Safeway, but you\'re not going to go running up to them. Maybe a nod and a smile (a thumbs up to Zuckerberg is always clever) and a subtle elbow to your spouse\'s rib cage. </p><p>Sure, we know Jobs is in a league by himself. The man is cool by selling cool. He\'s rich, really rich, aloof and mysterious. Still, spot him at the Palo Alto Apple Store and protocol calls for a simple \"Hey Steve\" at most. Fan sites are really not us.</p><p>But we\'re not Moisescot and Moisescot is not in Silicon Valley. His site is one indication of just how gaga the rest of the world is over Jobs. The guy\'s been a cover boy for three decades. He has the pop culture staying power of the Beatles, the business chops of Warren Buffett and a fan base that is Bieber-like in its adulation. In short, this is Jobs\' TMZ moment, but those chasing after any scrap of his life appear to be filled with admiration, not malice.</p><p>\"He\'s an icon. He\'s a rock star,\" Diane Callan, a North Carolina woman who stumbled upon Moisescot\'s site last summer, says of Jobs. \"He\'s my rock star, that\'s all I know.\"</p><p>Callan has something of a connection. She briefly met Jobs when she worked at Lotus in 1988 when Jobs visited the Massachusetts company for a product announcement. She says she had a schoolgirl crush and so she brought along three magazines with Jobs on the cover. After his talk, she asked for an autograph.</p><p>\"I don\'t do autographs,\" she recalls Jobs saying. So she countered, \"Just write something from your heart.\" With that, Jobs took the Newsweek (\"Mr. Chips: Steve Jobs puts the \'Wow\' back in computers\") and wrote, \"I love manufacturing!\" Then he signed it. Pretty romantic, huh?</p><p>\"It\'s my most prized possession,\" says Callan, who\'s retired.</p><p>Jobs has that effect on people. Well, he has that effect on Moisescot, who in some ways feels closer to his hero because of the site. For a time he had a contact button that many users thought was some direct conduit to Jobs. He\'s since made it clearer that he\'s the site\'s webmaster.</p><p>\"It\'s pretty scary,\" Moisescot says of the earlier messages. Correspondents offer ideas on iPhone design. They write that they have a \"super great idea. I can\'t tell you about it, so call me back.\" Moisescot even received a get-well wish that concluded: \"By the way, I don\'t have much money and I would like to buy an Apple product, so send me money.\"</p><p>Moisescot has shelled out what he can to pick up two Macs, an iPod and his iPhone. The iPad is out of reach for now. (\"I\'m just a student.\")</p><p>No, Moisescot has never met Jobs and he\'s not sure he\'d want to. (\"I wouldn\'t know what to say.\") He\'d love to see him on stage, though. (\"I don\'t think I\'ll be invited to an Apple event.\")</p><p>He has visited the valley and he swung by some Jobs sites -- Apple, NeXT, Pixar, when he was here. He even had lunch at the Apple campus with a friend\'s father who works for the company.</p><p>\"I don\'t think they knew I was running this website,\" he says.</p><p>Moisescot isn\'t sure how much longer he can devote considerable time to the website. He expects to graduate next year and he hopes his work life will keep him busy. His dream is to start a company, but he\'s not sure he\'s ready for that yet. Would he like to work for Apple?</p><p>\"I know that somehow that\'s going to be impossible because of my website,\" he says. But on reflection he adds: \"I\'m not stupid. If I went to work for them, I\'d stop everything.\"</p><p>Hear that Apple?

John Kasich\'s \"Jobs Budget\" for fiscal year 2012 includes no tax increases and makes significant cuts to local governments, school districts, and health-care providers to shore up a $8 billion deficit.','<div><div class=\"yn-story-content\">\n                <p>Chicago – Ohio Gov. John Kasich\'s \"Jobs Budget\" for fiscal year 2012 includes no tax increases and makes significant cuts to local governments, school districts, and health-care providers to shore up a $8 billion deficit.</p>\n                <p>The budget has caught national attention because it follows the Ohio Legislature\'s effort to rein in unions through a bill similar to the one passed in Wisconsin. The bill has passed the Senate, and Governor Kasich says he will sign it if it passes the House as expected. Critics say Kasich’s budget would be a further blow to labor and is a stealth way for the government to erode union membership.</p>\n                <p>IN PICTURES: Wisconsin Capitol protests</p>\n                <p>But labor is hardly the only target in Kasich\'s budget. It cuts state funding to local government from $665 million in 2011 to $339 million in 2013. State money to primary and secondary schools would be trimmed by 12.1 percent in 2012 and 7.6 percent the following year. Higher education funding would be cut 13.1 percent each year. And it would lower Medicaid funding by $1.4 billion by reducing payments to nursing homes and hospitals. </p>\n                <p>Kasich says statewide cuts are needed to make the state “much more efficient.” </p>\n                <p>“We’re going to take a look at how much government we have in this state,” he added. </p>\n                <p>Union supporters say the budget will lessen their ranks. Pete Van Runkle, executive director of the Ohio Health Care Association, told the Columbus Dispatch Wednesday that the budget constraints will lead to the loss of 6,000 nursing home jobs. </p>\n                <p>“You can’t pull out that much without losing jobs – 70 percent of our costs are labor – and it’s kind of ironic that the governor is saying this is a jobs budget,” Mr. Van Runkle said. The budget proposals also establish new measures for the hiring and firing public school teachers, such as no longer allowing seniority to determine which teachers are laid off. Additionally, they allow parents or teachers to take over a school district if performance levels put it in the bottom 5 percent of the state for three years. </p>\n                <p>Such proposals come in addition to a bill passed Friday by the state Senate but still being debated by the House. The bill limits public union rights, which will affect over 360,000 state workers, from local government employees to firefighters, police officers, and public school teachers. </p>\n                <p>Like the bill signed last week by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, the Ohio bill limits collective bargaining rights for wages. The bill also eliminates the rights of public workers to strike and establishes pay increases by merit only, not seniority. </p>\n                <p>On Sunday, Kasich told reporters that the bill is â€œnot an attackâ€</p>\n                <p>â€œWhat we are doing in this state is designed to make sure that your kids have a future in this state â€“ that your kids can stay in this state, that they can have jobs in this state, and that your family can be prosperous,â€</p>\n                <p>A poll released Monday by the Institute for Policy Research at the University of Cincinnati shows that the majority of Ohio residents disagree with how the governor designed his budget. Fifty-three percent reported they want “a combination of tax increase and state spending reductions” to balance the budget and that 35 percent want just “reductions on state spending on programs and services.”</p>\n                <p>Among those who chose answers that involved a reductions in programs and services, 33 percent said they wanted local governments to take the greatest hit in funding, followed by prisons and public safety, colleges and universities, and health care for the elderly.</p>\n                <p>IN PICTURES: Wisconsin Capitol protests</p>\n                <p>\n            </p></div></div><p><strong>Read more:</strong> <a class=\"rssreadon\" rel=\"external\" title=\"Ohio \'jobs budget\': Adding insult to injury for labor unions?\" href=\"http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20110317/ts_csm/370223_1\" target=\"_blank\">http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20110317/ts_csm/370223_1</a></p>',-2,5,0,42,'2011-03-16 22:52:00',62,'','0000-00-00 00:00:00',0,0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00','2011-03-16 22:52:00','2011-04-03 12:37:23','','','show_intro=0',1,0,0,'','',0,0,''),(685,'Jobs are not enough: it\'s the quality of work that counts | Stephen Overell','jobs-are-not-enough-its-the-quality-of-work-that-counts-stephen-overell','','The coalition\'s emphasis on \'creating jobs\' fails to take into account whether they will actually improve quality of life According to a new study, having a badly paid job can be worse for one\'s mental health than having no job at all.

A <a href=\"http://oem.bmj.com/content/early/2011/02/26/oem.2010.059030.full.pdf\" title=\"Occupational Environmental Medicine\">team of researchers in Australia</a> found, as expected, that in general unemployed people have worse mental health than those in work. However, merely moving into work did not lead to an improvement, and the transition from unemployment to low-quality work worsened mental health. Instead, the job had to be of a certain level of \"psychosocial quality\" to be beneficial, meaning it had to be relatively secure, that the pay was perceived to be fair, that work demands were not excessive, and that people could exert some influence over when and how their work was done.</p><p>Over the decades – from pioneering investigations in Austria in the 1930s through to case studies of Thatcherism\'s victims in the 1980s – researchers have found that joblessness carries a singular psychological burden that appears to occur independently of financial hardship. Work provides time structures to the day, it obliges participation in shared activities, and it generates status and identity. Without it, people and places often go to pieces: apathy sets in, simple tasks take longer, there is less social contact and what little money there is goes on luxuries before necessities. Work is good for our health – the greatest influence over human happiness after love and friendship.</p><p>But this new report found that people stuck in poorly paying, tightly controlled jobs and subject to externally imposed targets had much poorer mental health scores than those who saw their pay as fairer and their autonomy as higher.</p><p>Take call centres. Being told to follow a digital pre-script and having to ask to go to the toilet is a qualitatively different experience than being able to use your own initiative. As expected, one might think. But the significance is in the political implications.</p><p>Countries with \"work-first\" policies may not necessarily increase wellbeing. In dedicating themselves single-mindedly to the quantity of jobs in a society, policymakers ignore the critical social and psychological importance of the quality of jobs. Only when the work is decent does psychological health improve.</p><p>Such a message is, of course, particularly relevant in Britain – though unfortunately most of it will go unheard. Under the slogan of \"making work pay\", the coalition aims to incentivise the workless to take work, arguing that doing so will help the life chances of individuals and families. The blind spot is in imagining any job will do. The evidence suggests it won\'t.</p><p>The stories of people being circulated from benefits into low-grade, temporary work and back to benefits again rather defeats the object of the policy. Meanwhile, many people complain they are trapped in repetitive jobs from which the prospect of moving up or improving skills is severely restricted by competitive pressures, suggesting political hopes invested in having work are on the optimistic side.</p><p>Britain has a respectable record in creating professional and managerial jobs in recent decades (many in the public sector). But alongside this has been growth in low-paying service jobs in care, catering, security and so on – the so-called hourglass labour market. Some 10 million people – more than a third of the labour force – earn less than £15,000 a year. Meanwhile, some aspects of job quality have deteriorated appreciably. All occupational groups report a reduction in their autonomy and an increase in their stress and insecurity.</p><p>Faced with the challenge of job quality there is a tendency among politicians to think not much can be done, aside from attempting to encourage growth so that people can change jobs if they want to. Admittedly, subtle issues of autonomy and stress do not lend themselves to quick regulatory fixes. Yet, as the Australian study points out, job quality has historically been an area where political intervention has brought far-reaching social advances – for example through minimum wages or laws on working time. The absurdity of our current situation lies in imagining that the nature of work is now a political and social irrelevance so long as jobs exist.</p><p></p><p>• This article was commissioned after being suggested by <a href=\"http://www.guardian.co.uk/discussion/user/joemccann\" title=\"\">JoeMcCann</a>.

While non-farm payroll employment increased, the number of unemployed people and the overall unemployment rate of <a href=\"http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm\">8.9 percent </a>barely budged.</p>\n<p>It’s been at least six months since the last holdouts realized that the Obama administration’s “stimulus package” of nearly $1 trillion failed in its principle task of restoring real economic growth and returning Americans to work. Yet what has changed? Very little, as we continued to pursue old solutions to new problems.</p>\n<p>A new book released in January illustrates a big part of this problem. In his book, <a href=\"http://www.thestreet.com/story/10975053/make-it-in-america-book-excerpt.html\"><em>Make It In America: The Case for Re-Inventing the Economy</em></a>, Dow Chemical Company CEO Andrew Liveris calls us to turn back the clock and return to a time when America was defined by the things it built. Restoring America’s manufacturing legacy, he argues, is the key to bringing jobs back and getting the economy on the road to recovery.</p>\n<p>The central fallacy of such arguments is that they view the “loss” of American manufacturing jobs to overseas countries as a zero-sum game. One nation must win; another nation must lose. If a company shifts an American job overseas, that’s one less job in America. The reality is something different.</p>\n<p>Certain countries are better suited to produce specific products than other countries. The reason many factory jobs are leaving the United States is that generally other nations are more efficient at producing the same product. We might try to keep these jobs in the United States through artificial means, but since manufacturing in the United States is more costly, the overall economy suffers. Our manufacturing costs are simply not competitive due to the many rules, potential lawsuits, high taxes and anti-business environment.</p>\n<p>Much more than manufacturing, promoting and encouraging innovation is the key to America’s comeback. But innovation intimidates. By its very definition, innovation undermines the status quo. It can destroy jobs, markets and entire industries.</p>\n<p>Think of the news media, particularly the <a href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/gary-shapiro/those-who-cannot-innovate_b_691251.html\">newspaper industry</a>. The advent of the Internet has radically upended the newspaper business model. From the loss of subscriptions to classifieds, newspapers simply haven’t figured out how to make a buck from selling news anymore. Entire newspapers have had to shut down or end their “dead tree” service.</p>\n<p>Sadly, the newspaper industry – minus the few that have managed to adapt – as we know it is gone. But don’t confuse my sadness for any hesitation that innovation and its twin, change, are healthy for the overall economy. Just as innovation threatens jobs, it also creates them. Few would contend that the demise of the newspaper industry cancels out the wealth-creating and job-producing effects of the Internet.</p>\n<p>The decline of Detroit, my second home, tears at the nostalgic corners of my heart as it does anyone who remembers the heyday of the “Big Three.” Fifty years ago, these distinctly American companies were the Microsoft’s, Apple’s and Google’s of the American economy. Although the United States didn’t invent the automobile, this country made it its own – indeed, never in the history of mankind has such an advanced technological achievement been available to so many. But change came and offered new opportunities.</p>\n<p>To revive the job market, we don’t need to try to save or get back the jobs that have already been shipped overseas. We need to create the conditions for companies to create new, better jobs. We can facilitate this with a few simple steps:</p>\n<p></p>\n<ol><li>Stop penalizing investment in start-ups.</li>\n<li>Leave private investors, not government bureaucrats, to determine what start-ups are funded.</li>\n<li>Let companies fail.</li>\n<li>Block union formation in start-ups and new facilities to encourage companies to consider U.S. manufacturing.</li>\n</ol><p>Much of the manufacturing now shipped abroad requires little education or skill – a bad fit for American workers anyway. I have worked in and visited several factories. Highly repetitive factory work is not well-suited for educated bright people. Working on an assembly line is not consistent with President Obama’s goal of making the United States the world’s most educated population.</p>\n<p>Instead of highly-skilled Americans working in textile, steel or automotive plants, they’re working in computing, pharmaceutical and nanotechnology plants, where their high-cost knowledge is put to good use. Manufacturing certainly has a role to play in America’s comeback, but if we are to move forward we must be willing to let go of the past.</p>\n<p><em>Gary Shapiro is the president and CEO of the

The fourth most-populous\nnation is a shoo-in to join <a href=\"http://topics.bloomberg.com/brazil/\">Brazil</a>, <a href=\"http://topics.bloomberg.com/russia/\">Russia</a>, India and <a href=\"http://topics.bloomberg.com/china/\">China</a> soon\nas a BRIC economy. BRIICs, anyone? To keep growing at about 7\npercent, Indonesia needs energy, and lots of it. Hence the plan\nto build nuclear <a href=\"http://topics.bloomberg.com/power-plants/\">power plants</a>. </p>\n<p>That was before Japan’s March 11 earthquake and nuclear\naccident, which ranks alongside Three-Mile Island as among the\nworld’s worst. If a country as developed, technologically\nadvanced and earthquake-ready as Japan must scramble to avert a\nnuclear catastrophe, what hope do developing nations have? </p>\n<p>No disrespect is meant. No one needs to convince me of\nIndonesia’s promise or how impressively far it’s come since the\ndark days of the 1997-1998 Asian crisis. Yet Indonesia’s\nregulatory environment is poor and its public sector far less\ntech-savvy than <a href=\"http://topics.bloomberg.com/japan/\">Japan</a>’s; its disaster-response record needs work\nand it’s a very seismically active place. </p>\n<p>Indonesia’s nuclear-reactor plans may have been thinkable\nBF (before Fukushima). In an AF (after Fukushima) world, they’re\nlunacy. If the ongoing drama in Japan tells the world anything,\nit’s that earthquake-prone nations should be aggressively\npursuing non-nuclear options to fuel growth. </p>\n<h2>Japan’s Drama </h2>\n<p>Granted, Japan’s drama is unique. At 40, the Fukushima Dai-\nIchi power plant is almost as old as the median age of Japan’s\n126 million people. The technology going into today’s reactors\nmakes them far safer. The role of age in Japan’s crisis prompted\nsome world leaders, like <a href=\"http://topics.bloomberg.com/germany/\">Germany</a>’s <a href=\"http://topics.bloomberg.com/chancellor-angela-merkel/\">Chancellor Angela Merkel</a>, to\nshut their oldest reactors. </p>\n<p>The crisis at Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s crippled plant is\narguably more a product of the tsunami than the quake (at least\nIndonesia plans to locate reactors far enough above <a href=\"http://topics.bloomberg.com/sea-level/\">sea level</a> to\nbe safe from such surges). Still, Japan’s disaster has been\ndecades in the making thanks to falsified safety reports,\nunderestimated risks and plain old corruption. </p>\n<p>Incestuous ties between government and industry helped fuel\nthe excesses behind the 1980s bubble economy. That same public-\nprivate collusion also plagued responses to the economic\ndownturn that followed. A bad-loan crisis festered, deflation\ntook root and competition from China exploded. All the while,\nJapan Inc. circled the wagons and tried to stave off both change\nand tough decisions. </p>\n<h2>Conflicts of Interest </h2>\n<p>If ever there were a microcosm of what ails Japan, its\nnuclear power industry and a legacy of fatal accidents and\nconflicts of interest provide it. Too often, those writing\nnuclear-safety rules were also doing surveys and signing off on\ninspections. Here’s an issue well worth the attention of Julian\nAssange at WikiLeaks. </p>\n<p>Were Japan’s nuclear sites better inspected and maintained,\nwe’d all be better off. </p>\n<p>None more so than the technicians battling in Fukushima. We\nin Japan are humbled and moved by their courage and dedication\nin trying to prevent <a href=\"http://www.iaea.org/cgi-bin/db.page.pl/pris.oprconst.htm\" title=\"Open Web Site\" rel=\"external\">radiation</a> from billowing into our skies. We\nwatch their fight against the clock with the nagging thought\nthat none of this should have happened. Nor should the world let\nit happen again. </p>\n<p>Japan demonstrates the difficult balancing act world\nleaders face. With minimal energy reserves of its own, nuclear\npower became a <a href=\"http://www.nisa.meti.go.jp/english/\" title=\"Open Web Site\" rel=\"external\">national priority</a> as Japan clawed out of the\ndevastation of World War II, a conflict it fought partly to\nsecure oil supplies. Japan has 54 operating nuclear reactors --\nmore than any country except the U.S. and <a href=\"http://topics.bloomberg.com/france/\">France</a> -- to power its\nindustries. This pits economic demands against safety concerns\nin one of the world’s most earthquake-prone places. </p>\n<h2>Obvious Allure </h2>\n<p>For developing nations like Indonesia, the allure of\nnuclear power is obvious. Here’s a number that worries me: 110.\nThat’s Indonesia’s ranking in <a href=\"http://transparency.org/policy_research/surveys_indices/cpi/2009/cpi_2009_table\" title=\"Open Web Site\" rel=\"external\">Transparency International</a>’s\nlatest corruption perception index. That’s lower than Senegal\nand <a href=\"http://topics.bloomberg.com/kazakhstan/\">Kazakhstan</a>, and far behind <a href=\"http://topics.bloomberg.com/india/\">India</a> and <a href=\"http://topics.bloomberg.com/thailand/\">Thailand</a>. </p>\n<p>Unless engineers can build nuclear reactors out of rubber\nor elevate them on huge shock absorbers, they’ve got no business\nlocating them atop the Ring of Fire, that arc of fault lines and\nvolcanoes encircling the Pacific Basin. And that’s before we\nconsider the risks associated with corruption. </p>\n<p>Japan’s crisis, even in a worst-case scenario, isn’t a\nsecond Chernobyl. That’s easy to forget given the global media’s\nover-the-top coverage during the past week. </p>\n<h2>Human Factor </h2>\n<p>One lesson we should remember from events in modern-day\nUkraine in 1986 was the role of everything from design flaws to\nshoddy construction materials to insufficient training of\nreactor personnel. In other words, the human factor. </p>\n<p>At Fukushima, back-up diesel generators that might’ve\naverted the disaster were located in a basement and swamped by\nwaves. “This in the country that invented the word Tsunami,”\nnoted Ken Brockman, a former director of nuclear installation\nsafety at the IAEA in Vienna. </p>\n<p>If these things can go this awry in Japan, as efficient,\ntech-savvy and work-ethic oriented a nation as there is, where\nwon’t they? It’s a question <a href=\"http://topics.bloomberg.com/indonesia/\">Indonesia</a> and other economic\nupstarts should consider long and hard. </p>\n<p>(William Pesek is a Bloomberg News columnist.

these days. Not only have home values fallen, leaving nearly one-quarter of residential mortgages under water, but also, local governments around the country have increased property taxes to make up for declining revenue from other sources.</p></div></div>','\n                <p>Homeowners now give a slightly bigger portion of their earnings to property taxes -- which mainly go to public schools, with the rest going to government operations and other public services -- than before the recession. The Tax Foundation, a Washington (D.C.) research organization that advocates for lower taxes, estimates that 3.5 percent of household income went to property taxes in 2009, compared with 2.9 percent in 2005. The median property taxes paid on homes increased to $1,917 in 2009 from $1,614 in 2005.</p>\n                <p>How much is too much? In Miami-Dade County, taxpayers have had enough. Angered by a property tax hike amid plunging real estate values, as well as a pay raise to county employees and a\nnew $600 million stadium for the Florida Marlins, 88 percent of 204,500 people voted to oust Mayor Carlos Alvarez in a recall election on Mar. 15.</p>\n                <p>Miami-Dade residents pay the most property tax in Florida: a median $2,600 per year, according to the Tax Foundation, citing the average median real estate taxes paid annually from 2005 to 2009 in U.S. Census Bureau reports. Last year, Mayor Alvarez pushed for a 14 percent property tax rate increase to help fill a $444 million budget hole.</p>\n                <p>\"It\'s not proper to increase taxes by $178 million (in) this community -- while over 50 percent or close to 50 percent of (homeowners) here owe more money than their homes are worth,\" Norman Braman, the billionaire car dealer who led the recall effort, told reporters.</p>\n                <p>Stable&gt;</p>\n                <p>Property taxes grew significantly in the recession, according to the Tax Foundation. Nationwide, state and local revenue from property taxes totaled nearly $474.2\nbillion in the 12 months ended September 2010, according to U.S. Census Bureau data, up 38.8 percent from the same period in fiscal 2005. Corporate net income tax fell 10.3 percent in the same 2010 period, while total state and local tax revenue rose 15.7 percent.</p>\n                <p>\"Property taxes tend to be the more stable revenue source,\" says Mark Robyn, an economist at the Tax Foundation. Local governments \"can set their rate every year. Property tax policy is very flexible for local governments.\"</p>\n                <p>New Jersey residents pay the most residential property tax in the U.S.: an average $7,576 last year, up 78.7 percent from 1999, according to data from the state\'s Department of Community Affairs. Homeowners in Millburn Township paid an average $19,441, the most among major towns in the state.</p>\n                <p>Among the more than 3,100 counties in the U.S., Hunterdon County, N.J., had the highest median real estate taxes per year --  $8,216 -- from 2005 to 2009, according\nto a Tax Foundation report. Other counties with high taxes in the five-year period: Nassau County, N.Y., where homeowners paid $8,206, and Westchester County, N.Y., where median property taxes on homes were $8,160. (One-year data show Hunterdon ranked fourth in 2009, after Westchester County, Nassau County, and New Jersey\'s Bergen County.)</p>\n                <p>Upset voters in various parts of country have resisted the recent tax hikes -- though not always with the same result as in Miami. In Chattanooga, Mayor Ron Littlefield\'s push for a 19 percent property tax increase sparked a recall effort by the Chattanooga Tea Party and other groups, which failed in 2010. Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle has raised property taxes a total of 15 percent, also leading to a recall election this past January that failed to remove him from office. In Jersey City, the municipal tax rate has increased 84 percent since 2005, but efforts to recall Mayor Jerramiah Healy fell through in February.</p>\n                <p>Last year,\nNew Jersey lawmakers capped property tax increases by local governments at 2 percent.</p>\n                <p>Schools&gt;</p>\n                <p>About half of property tax revenue goes to public elementary and secondary schools, according to the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, a think tank in Cambridge, Mass. Public elementary and secondary schools get about 43.5 percent of revenue from local and intermediate sources. State sources provide 48.3 percent, and the remaining 8.2 percent comes from federal sources, according to National Center for Education Statistics 2007 to 2008 estimates.</p>\n                <p>\"From a political standpoint, pressure to provide adequate funding of schools and pressure to provide property tax relief are often intertwined,\" states a report by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. \"Taxpayers who want to see reductions in their property tax liabilities sometimes press state government for particular school finance restructuring measures.\"</p>\n                <p>While residents battle\ntax hikes, some school boards say avoiding increases will lead to job losses. In Georgia, Chickamauga city councilmen voted for a 17 percent property tax increase in October to generate about $200,000 for schools. In South Portland, Me., the South Portland School Dept. proposed a budget that increases taxes to avoid losing 21 full time positions (including two teaching jobs) next year. In Austin, Tex., the teachers union is discussing a tax increase because the Austin Independent School District may cut $94 million from its budget.</p>\n                <p>As state-level funding fell around the country, many school districts relied on money from the $100 billion federal stimulus in 2009 as well as increased property tax revenue. Yet with most of the stimulus used up now and many taxpayers reluctant to accept more tax increases, schools may have to adjust to a lower level of spending.</p>\n                <p>\"This might be a longer-term situation where there will be more control on school spending,\" says Eric\nHanushek, Paul and Jean Hanna Senior Fellow at Stanford University\'s Hoover Institution.\n</p><p>\nUnfortunately for schools in need of funds, until the real estate market recovers some value and the economy improves, homeowners may continue to fight back against city hall.\n</p><p>\nClick here to see which county in each state pays the most property tax.</p>\n            ',-2,5,0,36,'2011-03-23 08:08:00',62,'','0000-00-00 00:00:00',0,0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00','2011-03-23 08:08:00','2011-03-24 11:28:31','','','',1,0,0,'','',0,0,''),(706,'Toyota to delay Prius minivan launch after quake   (AP)','toyota-to-delay-prius-minivan-launch-after-quake-ap','','<div><div class=\"yn-story-content\">\n                <p>TOKYO – Toyota Motor Corp. says it will delay the launch of the Prius hybrid minivan in Japan due to disruptions in parts supply following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.</p>\n                </div></div>','<p>Toyota spokesman Paul Nolasco said Wednesday the world\'s No. 1 automaker initially planned to roll out the Prius minivan in April.

Over the past decade or so, Mills, a 34-year-old mother of two, sank $30,000 into college coursework, earning more than 100 credits at three different colleges as she followed her husband, an Air Force fighter pilot, to military outposts in such places as South Korea, North Carolina, and Nevada.</p>\n                <p>\"I was very frustrated,\" Mills says, \"because I wanted to complete my degree, but every time I tried, a roadblock came up, whether it was an issue with kids or my husband\'s deployment.\"</p>\n                <p>Then she stumbled on a website that led her to Western Governors University (WGU), a nonprofit online institution. The school\'s reasonable tuition -- just $2,890 for a six-month term -- coupled with an academic model that lets students accelerate their completion of the degree based on prior subject\nknowledge, seemed at first \"too good to be true,\" says Mills, who enrolled in the school\'s BS program in marketing management in the fall of 2008. WGU\'s unconventional structure was ideal for Mills, who earned her college degree in one year and, last year, received her MBA from the school.</p>\n                <p>\"During one semester, I believe I submitted papers in six or seven different states and two foreign countries,\" she says. \"No other university would have worked for me.\"</p>\n                <p>Real&gt;</p>\n                <p>Western Governors University may not be a household name yet, but it is attracting students like Mills to its virtual doors in droves. Founded in 1997 by 19 U.S. governors from Western states and based in Salt Lake City, the university has grown from nearly 500 students eight years ago to nearly 24,000 students today. It offers more than 50 degrees in teaching, business, information technology, and nursing, from bachelor\'s programs\nto MBAs. The school\'s nationally accredited teaching programs are the most popular, drawing nearly 50 percent of students, followed by the business college, which accounts for about 26 percent of enrollment, according to the school\'s 2010 annual report. The virtual institution has grown at a rapid clip since it first gained regional accreditation in 2003, with enrollment increasing 30 percent each year, the school says.</p>\n                <p>The online institution was designed by the governors to be an affordable alternative to state colleges and for-profit online universities. It\'s geared toward older students -- the average age of a WGU student is 36 -- who did not have the time, money, or resources to complete a college education in the conventional manner. Rural, first-generation, low-income, and minority students from all 50 states make up the majority of the school\'s population. Its success is attracting the attention of higher education policy makers, state\nlegislatures, and public university officials around the country, says Joni Finney, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania\'s Graduate School of Education and director of the school\'s Institute for Research in Higher Education.</p>\n                <p>\"It is gaining some credibility in higher education circles, and it really is one of the more affordable public institutions in the country,\" she says. \"Their model allows them to do it because they don\'t have to employ full-time faculty with tenure and those sorts of things, so their chances of maintaining a reasonable cost are a lot better than other types of institutions that staff differently.\"</p>\n                <p>A&gt;</p>\n                <p>Another reason the school stands out in the crowded online education market is its nonprofit operating model, Finney says. The school is funded almost entirely through student tuition. Last year, the school\'s revenue was $110 million, with 2011 revenue expected to top $140\nmillion, WGU President Robert Mendenhall says. The price of a bachelor\'s degree is about one-half to one-third the cost of a degree at a for-profit university. For example, a student at WGU who took four years to complete her BS in business management would pay $23,120 for her degree, as opposed to $66,000 for a comparable 120-credit degree at the University of Phoenix, the country\'s largest for-profit college.</p>\n                <p>\"Our advantage is we are priced more like a local state college, but we give the student all the flexibility of a for-profit,\" says Mendenhall.</p>\n                <p>Unlike most universities, there are no typical professors, lectures, or required classroom time. Instead, students learn course material via textbooks, Web-based tutorials, simulations, and subject-specific online learning communities. Later, WGU uses technology-based learning to assess students\' progress, measuring whether they\'ve mastered certain concepts via their performance on tests,\nprojects, and assignments. Each course typically has between two and nine \"competencies,\" or key concepts, that a student is required to master. If a student has prior knowledge in a subject area and can demonstrate this to the university, he or she can often complete the class in a shorter period of time. In addition, there is no limit to the number of classes students can take in a six-month semester. Since most WGU students are older and often come to the school with prior knowledge in their subject area, the average time it takes a student to get a college degree from WGU is 30 months, compared with 60 months nationwide, says Mendenhall.</p>\n                <p>\"Ninety-five percent of online education in this country is just classroom education delivered over a wire, where students listen to lectures over their computers,\" says Mendenhall. \"At Western Governors, we turned the whole thing around because we are basically using the computer to do the instruction and deliver\nthe content, which makes it totally scalable. Potentially, 100,000 students can access the school at the same time and whenever they want.\"</p>\n                <p>Mentors&gt;</p>\n                <p>It may seem an impersonal approach, but students are given a significant amount of support during their time at the school. For example, each student is assigned a staff mentor from his chosen study area when he enters the school, a staffer who talks on the phone with the student once a week, guiding him through the degree process and helping him map out a course of study. In addition, each class has a course mentor, who evaluates students\' work and is available to help them via chat rooms or e-mail if they are having trouble mastering a concept in class. The school also has many of the trappings of a typical brick-and-mortar university albeit in digital form, including a virtual career counseling center and an online library and bookstore. The only time the student body gathers in person is for\nthe commencement ceremony, which takes place in Salt Lake City twice a year.</p>\n                <p>WGU\'s atypical learning model means students need to be self-motivated and have excellent time-management skills to get through the program successfully, says Deborah Ward, a mentor at WGU who works with students in the business college.</p>\n                <p>\"Many student do struggle at first with the competency-based model, and it is not for everyone,\" Ward says. \"A lot of students think it is going to be easy and they can zip through the courses, but it takes time to understand how to access the learning resources and courses and juggle their time. Usually by the time they finish their first six months, they have the knack for it.\"</p>\n                <p>Productive&gt;\n</p><p>\nThe flexibility of WGU is ideal for students such as Shelly Stanton, 49, who has been working in the business world for more than a decade without a college degree. She started out 11 years ago as a sales assistant making\n$10 an hour at Performance Mechanical Group, an HVAC contractor in Washington state, and in 2007 she was promoted to the role of chief financial officer. The new demands of her job, coupled with her life-long desire to get a bachelor\'s degree, led her to WGU, where she enrolled in the school\'s BS program in accounting in 2008. For the past three years she has juggled school and work, using her lunch hour to study for classes, do research, and write papers.\n</p><p>\n\"For me, the price was excellent, and there was the additional motivation of being able to use the things I already know so I can finish earlier,\" says Stanton, who hopes to graduate next March. \"I liked that, because if I\'m really motivated enough to commit the time, I will spend a lot less on college because of that.\"\n</p><p>\nThe mega virtual university is increasingly gaining notoriety because it has pioneered a completely new model of moving students through college, one that has the\npotential to change the way universities across the country deliver classes, says Louis Soares, director of post-secondary education programs at the Center for American Progress, a Washington (D.C.) think tank.\n</p><p>\nExpanding&gt;\n</p><p>\nA growing number of states are becoming interested in bringing the Western Governors model to their students, especially as classes become crowded and public universities face increasingly bleak fiscal outlooks, says Soares, who recently co-wrote an article, with Harvard Business School (Harvard Full-Time MBA Profile) Professor Clayton Christensen and two others, that looked at ways the nonprofit higher education world could be reformed through online education. The authors point out Western Governors as an example of an institution that has the potential to transform the higher education industry because of its competency-based learning model.\n</p><p>\nAlready, Western Governors has begun to scale up its operations by forming strategic\nalliances with interested states. State lawmakers in Washington are now considering a proposal that would create an online school called WGU-Washington, and Western Governors is \"in discussions\" with several other states, Mendenhall says. Last year, Indiana Governor Mitchell Daniels announced that the state had formed a partnership with WGU, creating WGU Indiana, which he dubbed Indiana\'s \"eighth state university.\" Under the agreement, Indiana residents can use their state-funded financial aid to enroll in the virtual college, which will be operated by WGU, since it is considered a state school. The move is a \"game changer because it allowed the state essentially to create a new campus for students without investing millions of dollars in building one,\" Soares says.\n</p><p>\nWGU is \"the only institution I know of in the country in which technology has taken over education,\" says Soares. \"They have demonstrated how online education can be\ntaken to scale -- that is the key.\"</p>\n            ',-2,5,0,36,'2011-03-22 08:08:00',62,'','0000-00-00 00:00:00',0,0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00','2011-03-22 08:08:00','2011-03-24 11:28:33','','','',1,0,0,'','',0,2,''),(709,'News Paper Classified','news-paper-classified','','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"images/stories/articles.jpg\" border=\"0\" /></p>\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Classified Section</h1>\r\n<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

That would put Lisbon into political limbo just as it faces huge debt repayment deadlines and desperately needs markets\' confidence.</p>\n                <p>In Ireland, the results of stress tests due next week will reveal the true extent of capital needs at the countries\' struggling banks, which the government has already warned will exceed euro10 billion ($14 billion). Dublin wants more help with the costs of restructuring and recapitalizing its banks, threatening to burn senior bondholders — who have so far been spared in Europe\'s debt crisis — if none is forthcoming.</p>\n                <p>At the same time, Prime Minister Enda Kenny\'s new government is not making many friends among its eurozone counterparts by continuing to refuse changes to its rock-bottom corporate tax rate even while demanding lower interest rates on its euro67.5 billion ($96 billion) bailout agreed in November. Analysts expect Ireland will be refused any easing in its rescue loan repayment rates.</p>\n                <p>The rising tension in Ireland and Portugal is drawing investors\' attention back to Europe\'s debt crisis after a couple of weeks when Libya\'s conflict and Japan\'s natural disasters took media headlines.</p>\n                <p>The signals from the bond markets are distinctly pessimistic.</p>\n                <p>The yield — or interest rate — on Portugal\'s ten-year bonds was up 0.11 of a percentage point at 7.60 percent, just short of euro-era highs, while Ireland\'s yield was up 0.23 percentage point to 10.06 percent, a record.</p>\n                <p>More significantly, investors are asking for even more to lend in the short term. Analysts say that is due to concerns among private investors that they could be forced to take losses in case of bailouts under the eurozone\'s crisis regime for 2013 onwards.</p>\n                <p>Although EU officials have repeatedly stressed that no debt issued before June 2013 would face a restructuring, markets are unnerved by the fact that the European Stability Mechanism, the new bailout fund, will get preferred creditor status. That means it will get repaid before any private creditors, making their investments more risky.</p>\n                <p>\"Investors are now measurably more concerned about the short term outlook for Irish sovereign debt today than they were even during the height of the crisis in early November,\" said Simon Derrick, a senior analyst at The Bank of New York Mellon.</p>\n                <p>Though Portugal has not been bailed out yet, markets are acting like it\'s just a matter of time.</p>\n                <p>If its minority government doesn\'t manage to engineer a compromise agreement with opposition parties and ends up losing the vote, Prime Minister Jose Socrates has said he will no longer be able to run the country.</p>\n                <p>Analysts say a period of political uncertainty — likely to last at least two months — in Portugal would make it more likely that the country will end up becoming the third euro country to get bailed out, following earlier rescues of Greece and Ireland.</p>\n                <p>Ireland\'s rates have surged even more than Portugal\'s this week on speculation that the Prime Minister Kenny will this week present new plans to force bondholders to take a share of the massive debts built up by Ireland\'s banks — the main catalyst behind the Celtic Tiger\'s spectacular fall from grace.</p>\n                <p>If so-called senior bondholders are forced to take on their share of the Irish banking system\'s effective collapse, then banks in Germany, Britain and the United States — the three biggest lenders to Irish banks — could become the biggest losers.</p>\n                <p>Some analysts have argued that Ireland\'s tough rhetoric is merely a ruse to get the German and French governments to hand it a reduction in its bailout interest rates — as they did for Greece at their last summit.</p>\n                <p>Most economists agree that the austerity efforts won\'t be nearly enough to help the country cover the cost of bailing out its banks.\n</p><p>\nFunds continue to fly out of Ireland as depositors and bondholders cash out. Economists estimate that the Irish banks might need an additional euro35 billion ($50 billion) beyond the current euro50 billion ($71 billion) estimate.\n</p><p>\nIn addition, the Irish banks are on financial life support from the Irish Central Bank and ECB, which are providing them more than euro180 billion ($255 billion) in short-term loans to keep them running.\n</p><p>\nMichael Somers, who was chief executive of Ireland\'s National Treasury Management Agency from 1990 to 2009, is skeptical of Ireland\'s ability to pay its bills. He says renegotiation of bondholder debt is inevitable.\n</p><p>\n\"There\'s no way we\'ll ever pay this stuff back as far as I can see. It\'ll just be refinanced,\" Somers said. \"The awful thing about it is, I know there are figures going round which show no growth for the next three years. And with the possibility of further tax rises and expenditure cuts, you wonder how actually we\'re going to get out of this mess. We\'re in a downward spiral.\"\n</p><p>\n___\n</p><p>\nShawn Pogatchnik in Dublin contributed to this story.

He has vowed to clear his name at trial.</p>\n                <p>\nGupta, a former worldwide managing director at the McKinsey &amp; Co consulting firm, sued the SEC last week, accusing it of unfairly depriving him of a jury trial by pursuing an administrative proceeding rather than filing a formal lawsuit.</p>\n                <p>\nLIMITING BLANKFEIN TESTIMONY</p>\n                <p>\nProsecutors earlier asked Holwell to block Rajaratnam\'s lawyers from cross-examining Blankfein on whether Goldman bears responsibility for the 2008 financial crisis, or is the subject of any Department of Justice or SEC probes.</p>\n                <p>\nThey said such information is irrelevant to the trial, and could create unfair prejudice against Blankfein\'s testimony.</p>\n                <p>\nIn court on Wednesday morning, Rajaratnam lawyer John Dowd said \"I\'m not going to inquire\" about pending investigations. He also said he may recall Blankfein to the stand later.</p>\n                <p>\nThe government has said it intends to play FBI phone taps of Gupta tipping Rajaratnam about an expected $5 billion preferred stock infusion from Warren Buffett\'s Berkshire Hathaway Inc in September 2008, at the height of the financial crisis.</p>\n                <p>\nGoldman on Friday said it plans to buy back the preferred stock, saving it $500 million of annual dividends.\n</p><p>\n\nRajaratnam\'s trial began on March 8, and is expected to last two months.\n</p><p>\n\nBlankfein took the witness stand after Rajiv Goel, a former Intel Corp managing director and longtime friend of Rajaratnam who is cooperating with the government. Goel began testifying on Tuesday, and is expected to resume testifying later.\n</p><p>\n\nThe case is U.S. v.

Although a significant drop was expected, state demographer Ken Darga said the total is \"considerably lower\" than the Census Bureau\'s estimate last year.</p>\n                <p>\"That\'s just incredible,\" added Kurt Metzger, a demographer with a Data Driven Detroit, a nonprofit that collects statistics used by area planners. \"It\'s certainly the largest population loss percentage-wise that we\'ve ever had in this city.\"</p>\n                <p>Detroit\'s population peaked at 1.8 million in 1950, when it ranked fifth nationally. But the new numbers reflect a steady downsizing of the auto industry — the city\'s economic lifeblood for a century — and an exodus of many residents to the suburbs.</p>\n                <p>Mayor Dave Bing disputed the new population data and plans to appeal. He said his city has at least 750,000 residents, which he called an important threshold for qualifying for some state and federal financial programs. He didn\'t say how so many people may have been missed.</p>\n                <p>City Council President Charles Pugh suggested that thousands of people \"who are skeptical, distrustful of the government\" avoided the count, such as convicted felons, illegal immigrants and residents who list suburban addresses to get lower car insurance.</p>\n                <p>The drop-off of more than 237,000 people in Detroit helped Michigan become the only state that suffered an overall population decline between 2000 and 2010, slipping 0.6 percent to 9,883,640. But the city, the state\'s largest, was not solely responsible for the dubious distinction.</p>\n                <p>The population fell 18 percent in Flint, another city heavily dependent on the auto industry and the birthplace of General Motors. Pontiac and Saginaw, which also lost jobs in auto and parts manufacturing, dropped 12 percent and 17 percent respectively.</p>\n                <p>Nearly half of the state\'s 83 counties lost residents, underscoring the ripple effect from Michigan\'s reliance on the ailing manufacturing sector. Michigan has lost nearly 860,000 jobs since 2000, and its unemployment rate has long been among the nation\'s highest.</p>\n                <p>\"The census figures clearly show how crucial it is to reinvent Michigan,\" Gov. Rick Snyder said. \"It is time for all of us to realign our expectations so that they reflect today\'s realities. We cannot cling to the old ways of doing business.\"</p>\n                <p>Metzger, the demographer, said Detroit\'s population drop partially reflects the migration of middle-class blacks to suburban counties, a trend that the mayor acknowledged. The numbers also suggest that some blacks have given up on Michigan altogether: the state\'s non-Hispanic black population fell 1.8 percent, from 1,408,522 to 1,383,756.</p>\n                <p>That marks Michigan\'s first drop in black residents since statehood, and a historically significant change for a state that was long a magnet for blacks leaving the South to escape discrimination and find jobs, said William Frey, a Brookings Institution demographer.</p>\n                <p>The recent housing crisis has accelerated foreclosures and driven down prices, which Metzger said has enabled more black families to buy houses in the suburbs.</p>\n                <p>\"The next wave of ex-Detroiters with the same hopes and dreams has moved to the suburbs,\" he said.</p>\n                <p>Altogether, Michigan\'s cities lost 7 percent of their populations. Flint\'s population now stands at 102,434 residents. The capital city of Lansing suffered a 4 percent drop to 114,297, and even Grand Rapids — Michigan\'s second largest city, located in the less hard-hit western part of the state — was down 5 percent to 188,040.</p>\n                <p>Population increases were recorded in mostly suburban and some rural areas, the largest in counties on the fringe of metropolitan areas with large numbers of suburban commuters. Clinton County, north of Lansing, jumped 16.5 percent and Livingston County, between Detroit and Lansing, was up 15.3 percent.</p>\n                <p>Some rural areas fared badly. For example, the Upper Peninsula saw populations drop in 13 of its 15 counties, including a 13.3 percent drop — the worst statewide among counties — in far northwestern Ontonagon County.</p>\n                <p>Sharp increases were seen in Michigan\'s Asian and Hispanic populations.\n</p><p>\nThe non-Hispanic Asian population was 236,490, up 35 percent over the decade — Michigan\'s fastest growing racial group — and now accounts for 2.4 percent of the state\'s residents.

The Tax Foundation, a Washington (D.C.) research organization that advocates for lower taxes, estimates that 3.5 percent of household income went to property taxes in 2009, compared with 2.9 percent in 2005. The median property taxes paid on homes increased to $1,917 in 2009 from $1,614 in 2005.</p>\n                <p>How much is too much? In Miami-Dade County, taxpayers have had enough. Angered by a property tax hike amid plunging real estate values, as well as a pay raise to county employees and a\nnew $600 million stadium for the Florida Marlins, 88 percent of 204,500 people voted to oust Mayor Carlos Alvarez in a recall election on Mar. 15.</p>\n                <p>Miami-Dade residents pay the most property tax in Florida: a median $2,600 per year, according to the Tax Foundation, citing the average median real estate taxes paid annually from 2005 to 2009 in U.S. Census Bureau reports. Last year, Mayor Alvarez pushed for a 14 percent property tax rate increase to help fill a $444 million budget hole.</p>\n                <p>\"It\'s not proper to increase taxes by $178 million (in) this community -- while over 50 percent or close to 50 percent of (homeowners) here owe more money than their homes are worth,\" Norman Braman, the billionaire car dealer who led the recall effort, told reporters.</p>\n                <p>Stable&gt;</p>\n                <p>Property taxes grew significantly in the recession, according to the Tax Foundation. Nationwide, state and local revenue from property taxes totaled nearly $474.2\nbillion in the 12 months ended September 2010, according to U.S. Census Bureau data, up 38.8 percent from the same period in fiscal 2005. Corporate net income tax fell 10.3 percent in the same 2010 period, while total state and local tax revenue rose 15.7 percent.</p>\n                <p>\"Property taxes tend to be the more stable revenue source,\" says Mark Robyn, an economist at the Tax Foundation. Local governments \"can set their rate every year. Property tax policy is very flexible for local governments.\"</p>\n                <p>New Jersey residents pay the most residential property tax in the U.S.: an average $7,576 last year, up 78.7 percent from 1999, according to data from the state\'s Department of Community Affairs. Homeowners in Millburn Township paid an average $19,441, the most among major towns in the state.</p>\n                <p>Among the more than 3,100 counties in the U.S., Hunterdon County, N.J., had the highest median real estate taxes per year --  $8,216 -- from 2005 to 2009, according\nto a Tax Foundation report. Other counties with high taxes in the five-year period: Nassau County, N.Y., where homeowners paid $8,206, and Westchester County, N.Y., where median property taxes on homes were $8,160. (One-year data show Hunterdon ranked fourth in 2009, after Westchester County, Nassau County, and New Jersey\'s Bergen County.)</p>\n                <p>Upset voters in various parts of country have resisted the recent tax hikes -- though not always with the same result as in Miami. In Chattanooga, Mayor Ron Littlefield\'s push for a 19 percent property tax increase sparked a recall effort by the Chattanooga Tea Party and other groups, which failed in 2010. Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle has raised property taxes a total of 15 percent, also leading to a recall election this past January that failed to remove him from office. In Jersey City, the municipal tax rate has increased 84 percent since 2005, but efforts to recall Mayor Jerramiah Healy fell through in February.</p>\n                <p>Last year,\nNew Jersey lawmakers capped property tax increases by local governments at 2 percent.</p>\n                <p>Schools&gt;</p>\n                <p>About half of property tax revenue goes to public elementary and secondary schools, according to the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, a think tank in Cambridge, Mass. Public elementary and secondary schools get about 43.5 percent of revenue from local and intermediate sources. State sources provide 48.3 percent, and the remaining 8.2 percent comes from federal sources, according to National Center for Education Statistics 2007 to 2008 estimates.</p>\n                <p>\"From a political standpoint, pressure to provide adequate funding of schools and pressure to provide property tax relief are often intertwined,\" states a report by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. \"Taxpayers who want to see reductions in their property tax liabilities sometimes press state government for particular school finance restructuring measures.\"</p>\n                <p>While residents battle\ntax hikes, some school boards say avoiding increases will lead to job losses. In Georgia, Chickamauga city councilmen voted for a 17 percent property tax increase in October to generate about $200,000 for schools. In South Portland, Me., the South Portland School Dept. proposed a budget that increases taxes to avoid losing 21 full time positions (including two teaching jobs) next year. In Austin, Tex., the teachers union is discussing a tax increase because the Austin Independent School District may cut $94 million from its budget.</p>\n                <p>As state-level funding fell around the country, many school districts relied on money from the $100 billion federal stimulus in 2009 as well as increased property tax revenue.

Over the past decade or so, Mills, a 34-year-old mother of two, sank $30,000 into college coursework, earning more than 100 credits at three different colleges as she followed her husband, an Air Force fighter pilot, to military outposts in such places as South Korea, North Carolina, and Nevada.</p>\n                <p>\"I was very frustrated,\" Mills says, \"because I wanted to complete my degree, but every time I tried, a roadblock came up, whether it was an issue with kids or my husband\'s deployment.\"</p>\n                <p>Then she stumbled on a website that led her to Western Governors University (WGU), a nonprofit online institution. The school\'s reasonable tuition -- just $2,890 for a six-month term -- coupled with an academic model that lets students accelerate their completion of the degree based on prior subject\nknowledge, seemed at first \"too good to be true,\" says Mills, who enrolled in the school\'s BS program in marketing management in the fall of 2008. WGU\'s unconventional structure was ideal for Mills, who earned her college degree in one year and, last year, received her MBA from the school.</p>\n                <p>\"During one semester, I believe I submitted papers in six or seven different states and two foreign countries,\" she says. \"No other university would have worked for me.\"</p>\n                <p>Real&gt;</p>\n                <p>Western Governors University may not be a household name yet, but it is attracting students like Mills to its virtual doors in droves. Founded in 1997 by 19 U.S. governors from Western states and based in Salt Lake City, the university has grown from nearly 500 students eight years ago to nearly 24,000 students today. It offers more than 50 degrees in teaching, business, information technology, and nursing, from bachelor\'s programs\nto MBAs. The school\'s nationally accredited teaching programs are the most popular, drawing nearly 50 percent of students, followed by the business college, which accounts for about 26 percent of enrollment, according to the school\'s 2010 annual report. The virtual institution has grown at a rapid clip since it first gained regional accreditation in 2003, with enrollment increasing 30 percent each year, the school says.</p>\n                <p>The online institution was designed by the governors to be an affordable alternative to state colleges and for-profit online universities. It\'s geared toward older students -- the average age of a WGU student is 36 -- who did not have the time, money, or resources to complete a college education in the conventional manner. Rural, first-generation, low-income, and minority students from all 50 states make up the majority of the school\'s population. Its success is attracting the attention of higher education policy makers, state\nlegislatures, and public university officials around the country, says Joni Finney, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania\'s Graduate School of Education and director of the school\'s Institute for Research in Higher Education.</p>\n                <p>\"It is gaining some credibility in higher education circles, and it really is one of the more affordable public institutions in the country,\" she says. \"Their model allows them to do it because they don\'t have to employ full-time faculty with tenure and those sorts of things, so their chances of maintaining a reasonable cost are a lot better than other types of institutions that staff differently.\"</p>\n                <p>A&gt;</p>\n                <p>Another reason the school stands out in the crowded online education market is its nonprofit operating model, Finney says. The school is funded almost entirely through student tuition. Last year, the school\'s revenue was $110 million, with 2011 revenue expected to top $140\nmillion, WGU President Robert Mendenhall says. The price of a bachelor\'s degree is about one-half to one-third the cost of a degree at a for-profit university. For example, a student at WGU who took four years to complete her BS in business management would pay $23,120 for her degree, as opposed to $66,000 for a comparable 120-credit degree at the University of Phoenix, the country\'s largest for-profit college.</p>\n                <p>\"Our advantage is we are priced more like a local state college, but we give the student all the flexibility of a for-profit,\" says Mendenhall.</p>\n                <p>Unlike most universities, there are no typical professors, lectures, or required classroom time. Instead, students learn course material via textbooks, Web-based tutorials, simulations, and subject-specific online learning communities. Later, WGU uses technology-based learning to assess students\' progress, measuring whether they\'ve mastered certain concepts via their performance on tests,\nprojects, and assignments. Each course typically has between two and nine \"competencies,\" or key concepts, that a student is required to master. If a student has prior knowledge in a subject area and can demonstrate this to the university, he or she can often complete the class in a shorter period of time. In addition, there is no limit to the number of classes students can take in a six-month semester. Since most WGU students are older and often come to the school with prior knowledge in their subject area, the average time it takes a student to get a college degree from WGU is 30 months, compared with 60 months nationwide, says Mendenhall.</p>\n                <p>\"Ninety-five percent of online education in this country is just classroom education delivered over a wire, where students listen to lectures over their computers,\" says Mendenhall. \"At Western Governors, we turned the whole thing around because we are basically using the computer to do the instruction and deliver\nthe content, which makes it totally scalable. Potentially, 100,000 students can access the school at the same time and whenever they want.\"</p>\n                <p>Mentors&gt;</p>\n                <p>It may seem an impersonal approach, but students are given a significant amount of support during their time at the school. For example, each student is assigned a staff mentor from his chosen study area when he enters the school, a staffer who talks on the phone with the student once a week, guiding him through the degree process and helping him map out a course of study. In addition, each class has a course mentor, who evaluates students\' work and is available to help them via chat rooms or e-mail if they are having trouble mastering a concept in class. The school also has many of the trappings of a typical brick-and-mortar university albeit in digital form, including a virtual career counseling center and an online library and bookstore. The only time the student body gathers in person is for\nthe commencement ceremony, which takes place in Salt Lake City twice a year.</p>\n                <p>WGU\'s atypical learning model means students need to be self-motivated and have excellent time-management skills to get through the program successfully, says Deborah Ward, a mentor at WGU who works with students in the business college.</p>\n                <p>\"Many student do struggle at first with the competency-based model, and it is not for everyone,\" Ward says. \"A lot of students think it is going to be easy and they can zip through the courses, but it takes time to understand how to access the learning resources and courses and juggle their time. Usually by the time they finish their first six months, they have the knack for it.\"</p>\n                <p>Productive&gt;\n</p><p>\nThe flexibility of WGU is ideal for students such as Shelly Stanton, 49, who has been working in the business world for more than a decade without a college degree. She started out 11 years ago as a sales assistant making\n$10 an hour at Performance Mechanical Group, an HVAC contractor in Washington state, and in 2007 she was promoted to the role of chief financial officer. The new demands of her job, coupled with her life-long desire to get a bachelor\'s degree, led her to WGU, where she enrolled in the school\'s BS program in accounting in 2008. For the past three years she has juggled school and work, using her lunch hour to study for classes, do research, and write papers.\n</p><p>\n\"For me, the price was excellent, and there was the additional motivation of being able to use the things I already know so I can finish earlier,\" says Stanton, who hopes to graduate next March. \"I liked that, because if I\'m really motivated enough to commit the time, I will spend a lot less on college because of that.\"\n</p><p>\nThe mega virtual university is increasingly gaining notoriety because it has pioneered a completely new model of moving students through college, one that has the\npotential to change the way universities across the country deliver classes, says Louis Soares, director of post-secondary education programs at the Center for American Progress, a Washington (D.C.) think tank.\n</p><p>\nExpanding&gt;\n</p><p>\nA growing number of states are becoming interested in bringing the Western Governors model to their students, especially as classes become crowded and public universities face increasingly bleak fiscal outlooks, says Soares, who recently co-wrote an article, with Harvard Business School (Harvard Full-Time MBA Profile) Professor Clayton Christensen and two others, that looked at ways the nonprofit higher education world could be reformed through online education. The authors point out Western Governors as an example of an institution that has the potential to transform the higher education industry because of its competency-based learning model.\n</p><p>\nAlready, Western Governors has begun to scale up its operations by forming strategic\nalliances with interested states. State lawmakers in Washington are now considering a proposal that would create an online school called WGU-Washington, and Western Governors is \"in discussions\" with several other states, Mendenhall says. Last year, Indiana Governor Mitchell Daniels announced that the state had formed a partnership with WGU, creating WGU Indiana, which he dubbed Indiana\'s \"eighth state university.\" Under the agreement, Indiana residents can use their state-funded financial aid to enroll in the virtual college, which will be operated by WGU, since it is considered a state school. The move is a \"game changer because it allowed the state essentially to create a new campus for students without investing millions of dollars in building one,\" Soares says.\n</p><p>\nWGU is \"the only institution I know of in the country in which technology has taken over education,\" says Soares. \"They have demonstrated how online education can be\ntaken to scale -- that is the key.\"</p>\n            ',-2,5,0,36,'2011-03-22 08:08:00',62,'','0000-00-00 00:00:00',0,0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00','2011-03-22 08:08:00','2011-03-24 11:44:07','','','',1,0,0,'','',0,0,''),(736,'Wall Street weighed by banks and home builders   (Reuters)','wall-street-weighed-by-banks-and-home-builders-reuters','','<img src=\"http://d.yimg.com/a/p/rids/20110322/i/r3934212733.jpg?x=130&amp;y=93&amp;q=85&amp;sig=YQXx50utCaSAtnq2NwKx7g--\" height=\"93\" width=\"130\" alt=\"Wall Street weighed by banks and home builders   (Reuters)\" style=\"float: left; border: 0px;\" />\n<div><div class=\"yn-story-content\">\n                </div></div>','<p>NEW YORK (Reuters) – Wall Street stocks fell on Wednesday after disappointing new home sales data and a Federal Reserve rejection of a dividend plan by Bank of America weighed on banks and home building shares.</p>\n                <p>\nU.S. new home sales fell in February to a record low and prices were the lowest since December 2003, suggesting the housing market slide was deepening.

Although a significant drop was expected, state demographer Ken Darga said the total is \"considerably lower\" than the Census Bureau\'s estimate last year.</p>\n                <p>\"That\'s just incredible,\" added Kurt Metzger, a demographer with a Data Driven Detroit, a nonprofit that collects statistics used by area planners. \"It\'s certainly the largest population loss percentage-wise that we\'ve ever had in this city.\"</p>\n                <p>Detroit\'s population peaked at 1.8 million in 1950, when it ranked fifth nationally. But the new numbers reflect a steady downsizing of the auto industry — the city\'s economic lifeblood for a century — and an exodus of many residents to the suburbs.</p>\n                <p>Mayor Dave Bing disputed the new population data and plans to appeal. He said his city has at least 750,000 residents, which he called an important threshold for qualifying for some state and federal financial programs. He didn\'t say how so many people may have been missed.</p>\n                <p>City Council President Charles Pugh suggested that thousands of people \"who are skeptical, distrustful of the government\" avoided the count, such as convicted felons, illegal immigrants and residents who list suburban addresses to get lower car insurance.</p>\n                <p>The drop-off of more than 237,000 people in Detroit helped Michigan become the only state that suffered an overall population decline between 2000 and 2010, slipping 0.6 percent to 9,883,640. But the city, the state\'s largest, was not solely responsible for the dubious distinction.</p>\n                <p>The population fell 18 percent in Flint, another city heavily dependent on the auto industry and the birthplace of General Motors. Pontiac and Saginaw, which also lost jobs in auto and parts manufacturing, dropped 12 percent and 17 percent respectively.</p>\n                <p>Nearly half of the state\'s 83 counties lost residents, underscoring the ripple effect from Michigan\'s reliance on the ailing manufacturing sector. Michigan has lost nearly 860,000 jobs since 2000, and its unemployment rate has long been among the nation\'s highest.</p>\n                <p>\"The census figures clearly show how crucial it is to reinvent Michigan,\" Gov. Rick Snyder said. \"It is time for all of us to realign our expectations so that they reflect today\'s realities. We cannot cling to the old ways of doing business.\"</p>\n                <p>Metzger, the demographer, said Detroit\'s population drop partially reflects the migration of middle-class blacks to suburban counties, a trend that the mayor acknowledged. The numbers also suggest that some blacks have given up on Michigan altogether: the state\'s non-Hispanic black population fell 1.8 percent, from 1,408,522 to 1,383,756.</p>\n                <p>That marks Michigan\'s first drop in black residents since statehood, and a historically significant change for a state that was long a magnet for blacks leaving the South to escape discrimination and find jobs, said William Frey, a Brookings Institution demographer.</p>\n                <p>The recent housing crisis has accelerated foreclosures and driven down prices, which Metzger said has enabled more black families to buy houses in the suburbs.</p>\n                <p>\"The next wave of ex-Detroiters with the same hopes and dreams has moved to the suburbs,\" he said.</p>\n                <p>Altogether, Michigan\'s cities lost 7 percent of their populations. Flint\'s population now stands at 102,434 residents. The capital city of Lansing suffered a 4 percent drop to 114,297, and even Grand Rapids — Michigan\'s second largest city, located in the less hard-hit western part of the state — was down 5 percent to 188,040.</p>\n                <p>Population increases were recorded in mostly suburban and some rural areas, the largest in counties on the fringe of metropolitan areas with large numbers of suburban commuters.

That would put Lisbon into political limbo just as it faces huge debt repayment deadlines and desperately needs markets\' confidence.</p>\n                <p>In Ireland, the results of stress tests due next week will reveal the true extent of capital needs at the countries\' struggling banks, which the government has already warned will exceed euro10 billion ($14 billion). Dublin wants more help with the costs of restructuring and recapitalizing its banks, threatening to burn senior bondholders — who have so far been spared in Europe\'s debt crisis — if none is forthcoming.</p>\n                <p>At the same time, Prime Minister Enda Kenny\'s new government is not making many friends among its eurozone counterparts by continuing to refuse changes to its rock-bottom corporate tax rate even while demanding lower interest rates on its euro67.5 billion ($96 billion) bailout agreed in November. Analysts expect Ireland will be refused any easing in its rescue loan repayment rates.</p>\n                <p>The rising tension in Ireland and Portugal is drawing investors\' attention back to Europe\'s debt crisis after a couple of weeks when Libya\'s conflict and Japan\'s natural disasters took media headlines.</p>\n                <p>The signals from the bond markets are distinctly pessimistic.</p>\n                <p>The yield — or interest rate — on Portugal\'s ten-year bonds was up 0.11 of a percentage point at 7.60 percent, just short of euro-era highs, while Ireland\'s yield was up 0.23 percentage point to 10.06 percent, a record.</p>\n                <p>More significantly, investors are asking for even more to lend in the short term. Analysts say that is due to concerns among private investors that they could be forced to take losses in case of bailouts under the eurozone\'s crisis regime for 2013 onwards.</p>\n                <p>Although EU officials have repeatedly stressed that no debt issued before June 2013 would face a restructuring, markets are unnerved by the fact that the European Stability Mechanism, the new bailout fund, will get preferred creditor status. That means it will get repaid before any private creditors, making their investments more risky.</p>\n                <p>\"Investors are now measurably more concerned about the short term outlook for Irish sovereign debt today than they were even during the height of the crisis in early November,\" said Simon Derrick, a senior analyst at The Bank of New York Mellon.</p>\n                <p>Though Portugal has not been bailed out yet, markets are acting like it\'s just a matter of time.</p>\n                <p>If its minority government doesn\'t manage to engineer a compromise agreement with opposition parties and ends up losing the vote, Prime Minister Jose Socrates has said he will no longer be able to run the country.</p>\n                <p>Analysts say a period of political uncertainty — likely to last at least two months — in Portugal would make it more likely that the country will end up becoming the third euro country to get bailed out, following earlier rescues of Greece and Ireland.</p>\n                <p>Ireland\'s rates have surged even more than Portugal\'s this week on speculation that the Prime Minister Kenny will this week present new plans to force bondholders to take a share of the massive debts built up by Ireland\'s banks — the main catalyst behind the Celtic Tiger\'s spectacular fall from grace.</p>\n                <p>If so-called senior bondholders are forced to take on their share of the Irish banking system\'s effective collapse, then banks in Germany, Britain and the United States — the three biggest lenders to Irish banks — could become the biggest losers.</p>\n                <p>Some analysts have argued that Ireland\'s tough rhetoric is merely a ruse to get the German and French governments to hand it a reduction in its bailout interest rates — as they did for Greece at their last summit.</p>\n                <p>Most economists agree that the austerity efforts won\'t be nearly enough to help the country cover the cost of bailing out its banks.\n</p><p>\nFunds continue to fly out of Ireland as depositors and bondholders cash out. Economists estimate that the Irish banks might need an additional euro35 billion ($50 billion) beyond the current euro50 billion ($71 billion) estimate.\n</p><p>\nIn addition, the Irish banks are on financial life support from the Irish Central Bank and ECB, which are providing them more than euro180 billion ($255 billion) in short-term loans to keep them running.\n</p><p>\nMichael Somers, who was chief executive of Ireland\'s National Treasury Management Agency from 1990 to 2009, is skeptical of Ireland\'s ability to pay its bills. He says renegotiation of bondholder debt is inevitable.\n</p><p>\n\"There\'s no way we\'ll ever pay this stuff back as far as I can see. It\'ll just be refinanced,\" Somers said. \"The awful thing about it is, I know there are figures going round which show no growth for the next three years. And with the possibility of further tax rises and expenditure cuts, you wonder how actually we\'re going to get out of this mess. We\'re in a downward spiral.\"\n</p><p>\n___\n</p><p>\nShawn Pogatchnik in Dublin contributed to this story.
