How does a country become rich?
How does a country become rich?
Singapore is one of only a handful of countries to have managed it in the past half century. A colonial outpost now has the third highest average income in the world. How did it do it? And why are social tensions now showing?
It may surprise you to know that Singapore has more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in the world. One in six households are in the millionaire club. They come to this city-state by design. The government offers low taxes, raising their revenues through a property tax on the expensive, multi-million dollar houses of the ultra-rich. In return the rich spend - boosting the local economy's shops, restaurants and even a Universal Studios.
A key reason that expats are attracted is the quality of life.
Even middle class workers like teachers live well there - they can join sailing clubs and enjoy the services of a maid. A good environment and a world class secondary school system populated by foreign teachers help Singapore to attract the best talent from around the world.
It is a city-state with about five million people so the scale isn't comparable to the challenges of a country.
That makes its ability to be a large manufacturer all the more surprising. An analogy would be if London or New York had large factories alongside an international financial centre.
Manufacturing accounts for more than one-fifth of the economy, which is a larger share than in Britain and the US.
But, how does a rich country remain integral to a cost-competitive global production chain? The answer is by producing at the high end: half of its exports are high tech goods. Singapore started at the low end of manufacturing but managed to upgrade its skills so that it didn't fall out of the regional production chain as its incomes rose.
Plugging into global trade as a high income country requires high level skills - and that's what the government has achieved by upgrading the skills of the workforce through investing in expanding higher education and training. Singapore has some of the top secondary schools in the world, and the government has recently targeted teaching design to imbue every profession such as engineering with some element of creativity. It helps to increase the skill base.
In addition, skilled workers also come from all over the world. Extraordinarily, two out of five people in Singapore are foreigners. Bankers and others in the financial industry have moved to what has become the Switzerland of Asia.
But, does that mean that the excesses that felled the Western financial system could exist here?
There are of course those who are not doing as well. For Singaporeans who are working in blue collar jobs, the arrival of lower paid foreigners creates social tension. There are concerns over congestion in public transport and housing.
Those worries were one of the reasons that the government lost a few seats in parliament during the last election.
Singapore's transformation has been extraordinary. A country where the official languages are English, Tamil, Malay, and Chinese is rather useful for global business. It is not accidental.
Singapore made itself an internationally oriented economy and that has largely paid off for its people. Cracks are showing in the orderly facade -- but for most people, their working lives have benefitted.

Commission proposes Renewed Social Agenda to empower and help people in 21st century Europe
On 2 and 3 July, the Commission is putting forward a comprehensive and ambitious package of initiatives. It represents a new commitment to social Europe and consists of an integrated approach bringing together various policies. It shows how the EU can help to create opportunities, provide access and demonstrate solidarity – by taking initiatives to foster employment creation, education and skills development, fight discrimination, support mobility and enable Europeans to live longer, healthier lives. The renewed social agenda seeks to empower and equip Europeans, in particular also young people, to deal with rapidly changing realities - shaped by globalisation, technological progress, ageing societies – and developments such as the recent hikes in food and oil prices and turmoil in financial markets. It also aims to help those who have difficulties coping with these changes.
"Europe's social dimension has never been as relevant as it is today", said President Barroso. "It is inseparable from the EU's Lisbon Strategy to stimulate growth and provide better jobs for Europeans. Europe needs a modern social agenda, which responds to rapid economic and social change and promotes opportunities, access and solidarity for citizens in the EU. Economic success brings social benefits, and the package proposed by the Commission today is designed to ensure that nobody is left behind and Europe's prosperity can be shared by all."
"Europeans are concerned about the impact of globalisation on their jobs and the risk of falling into poverty," added Social Affairs Commissioner Špidla. "They also recognise that too many people are still denied chances in life because of discrimination. Jobs are lost because Works Councils don't work together efficiently across borders. By acting together, the EU can bring an added value to action at national level to improve people's lives."
Actions in the social field are primarily the responsibility of the Member States and have to be taken closest to the citizen at national, regional and local levels. Member States devote 26% (2005) of GDP to spending on social policy, compared with 15% in the USA and 17% in Japan. But this spending could be done in a more targeted and efficient way. The EU has been successfully complementing national action and fostering cooperation to manage socio-economic change. The EU is helping coordinate efforts to promote active inclusion, including labour market integration, making work pay and life-long learning, particularly for those who are furthest from the labour market, as part of the fight against poverty. The Commission is also working to ensure that single market and competition rules facilitate the development of good quality, accessible and sustainable social services, including those supplied by social economy enterprises (e.g. cooperatives, mutual undertakings).
Building on a strong base of past achievements of social Europe (see MEMO/08/466), including in the area of free movement of workers, the Renewed Social Agenda aims to adapt the EU's policies to new social realities and trends, without changing the fundamental goals of social Europe: harmonious, cohesive and inclusive societies respecting fundamental rights in healthy social market economies. The Renewed Social Agenda is built around opportunities, access and solidarity and focuses on empowering and enabling individuals to realise their potential while at the same time helping those who are unable to do so.
Altogether, the package adopted on 2 and 3 July as part of the Renewed Social Agenda contains 19 initiatives in the areas of employment and social affairs, education and youth, health, information society and economic affairs (see MEMO/08/471). The initiatives are centred on the following priorities:
1. Preparing for Tomorrow: Children and Youth
2. Investing in People: Managing Change
3. Supporting Longer and healthier lives
4. Fighting discrimination
5. Strengthening Instruments
6. Shaping the International Agenda
7. Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion
The Commission is for example proposing legislation to fill the gaps of the existing legal framework and to protect against discrimination on the grounds of religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation outside the field of employment. (see IP/08/1071). Another legislative proposal contained in the package aims to facilitate patients' access to healthcare in other European countries (see IP/08/1080).
Further, the package contains the Commission's views on the kind of schools Europe needs for the 21st century, and it also examines the issues relating to the education and social integration of children with a migrant background.
The Renewed Social Agenda follows a broad public consultation launched by the Commission in 2007 to take stock of Europe's changing social reality. A new Eurobarometer poll published today details the expectations of citizens across the EU for their social well-being in 20 years time (see MEMO/08/467).

Tips to Prevent Complications of Lymph Node Dissection
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Other than choosing an experienced breast cancer surgeon, are there any preoperative or postoperative steps that can be taken by the patient to mitigate risk of side effects in axillary lymph node dissection?
Linda McGrath Boyle PT, DPT CLT-LANA, Cancer Rehab Specialist and OncoLink Lymphedema Team Editor, responds:
Women who are strong and flexible pre-operatively are in a better position to avoid shoulder problems post-operatively. Having said that, we know that it is hard to exactly predict the specific surgical and cancer therapies (chemotherapy, radiation therapy) that may later be required to eradicate the cancer.
Persons who undergo axillary lymph node dissection (AND) have a higher incidence of side effects than those undergoing sentinel lymph node (SNB) procedures. The incidence of musculoskeletal disorders of the shoulder (loss of range of motion and muscle weakness), loss of sensation in the breast/axilla/medial aspect of the upper arm, and lymphedema of the breast/arm/trunk occur more often following AND. Those undergoing axillary clearance also generally require more extensive cancer therapies, i.e. radiation, which increases the risk of lymphedema. There is also strong medical evidence that recovery of function (return to normal activities, work, use of the arm) occurs more quickly following SNB.
Having said all of this, I see MANY women who do extremely well following axillary node dissection. It is always best to check with the surgeon/nurse practitioner about activity limitations and follow those instructions meticulously. Premature exercise or use of the arm delays healing of tissues and reanastomosing (reconnecting) of delicate lymphatics. Your surgeon will have a specific protocol for you to follow.
If you do notice any of the symptoms mentioned, please discuss these with your surgeon/nurse practitioner and question if you will need to see a physical therapist who specializes in cancer rehabilitation and is a certified lymphedema therapist (CLT). Preferably you will want to work with a physical therapist who is LANA certified. This is evidence that the therapist has passed a national certification examination. This person will have the initials PT or MPT or MSPT or DPT followed by CLT-LANA following their name.

AA Riding Pants (and more off-shoulder?!)
October 20, 2012
Another outfit post, I'm on a roll again! These photos were taken by Sophie at Motel (thank you!) - we are really getting into the swing of taking snaps now and should be bringing them to you regularly woo. I get such tripod and self-portrait troubles that I find it so hard to take a photo of myself in my room!
These were taken this week when I wore my American Apparel Riding Pants, which I wear probably at least once a week in blue or black. After feeling like skinny jeans would be a bit too casual for the office and for my daily outfits, these are almost like the most perfectly fitting jeggings. They're pricey at a high £64, but the wear you get is huge and I got both of mine when they had a 30% or 20% discount. A tip for shopping is to look for discounts around payday - retailers will always have something to offer at the end of the month!
I'm standing a bit twisted here but the Riding Pants are super comfy - I wear a Small and they fit perfectly. American Apparel sizing can vary so I would try on a few of the same size to get the perfect pair - they may all be ever so slightly different!
I wore my off shoulder lace top from webshop Tobi too, which is no suprise as the only tops I seem to be wearing ever right now are off shoulder ones!! I think I signed up to Tobi emails randomly, and almost every day they will send out their New Arrivals with 30% off for one week. It's quite strange to discount your newest stock but I guess that is how they test the market, and I always scan their emails. I'm pretty sure they had a 50% off day so I ordered this top and a dress, but the dress was a polyester monster. Sites like Tobi will buy wholesale stock from the east and sell it all together under their website roof, so it's always hit and miss when ordering. I don't really like buying from places like that as they are so unpredictable, and that was definitely confirmed by the mixed order. The bright side is that I love this top though and have worn it loads since I got it in August. They don't have it online now but they do have other pastel off-shoulder things.
And that is generally often what I wear to work! I must admit though, I do undo the top button of the pants when I'm sitting at my desk all day - those things are like spanx!

Did you know you could do this with Apple iOS 6?
The publicity blitzkrieg that Apple unleashed for iPhone 5 overshadowed another product that affects more users — a new operating system.
Apple introduced iOS 6 along with the new phone last month. And the hardware understandably captured most of the hubbub and fan chatter, at least on the day of the phone's announcement. Casual fans who weren't paying close attention might have missed the fact that the new software also would be available to older phones even before the launch sale date of iPhone 5.
The new operating system has more than 200 new features, ranging from apps that may hint at Apple's future ambitions (like mobile payment enabler Passbook) to incremental improvements that ease routine annoyances (a one-touch button to copy a Web page address).
Much has been written about several prominent new features — Apple Maps, enhancements to the voice-recognition tool Siri, panorama shots for the camera, and the cellular connection capability for video-chat app FaceTime.
But here are some obscure changes that could be overlooked by those who don't take the time to explore the new software.
-- Larger Safari screen. Even if you don't buy the larger-screen iPhone 5, the browsing space on the Safari browser is now a tad bigger. Turn the phone horizontally to the landscape mode, and tap on the far-right button in the bottom menu bar. The toolbar and the URL bar then disappear.
-- Browsing history. You can view your browsing history by keeping your finger pressed for a second on the back-button in Safari.
-- Offline reading. The share button on Safari -- the middle button on the bottom menu bar -- offers several options for a Web page, including mail, send text, post to Facebook, etc. But you can also click "Add to Reading List" and send it to a folder for reading the page when you have no Internet connection — an ideal tool for iPod Touch users or those who monitor monthly data limits.
-- Copying URL. A handy tool for those who love to text or e-mail Web pages, the share button on Safari now has the "Copy" option for copying a URL.
-- Easy updates. Many neglect to update apps because they forget their Apple ID password. IOS 6 lets you update without retyping the password. Since you've presumably entered the password at purchase, Apple assumes you are who you say you are.
-- Answer calls with text. You can still answer a call during an important meeting. When a call comes in, a phone icon appears in the lower right-hand side of the locked screen. Tapping on it will reveal several options, including "Reply with Message" (for pre-typed text messages) and "Remind Me Later."
-- Tweet from main screen. Twitter fans can post messages on the main screen without opening the app. Open the Notification Center by dragging your thumb from the top of the main home screen and you'll see "Tap to Tweet." You must enable the feature in Settings by drilling down on Notifications and selecting "Share Widgets."
-- Important e-mail. The new VIP folder in the e-mail app filters messages you want to read immediately. Designate your wife or boss' e-mail address in the VIP list and their messages will land on the folder, saving you from having to sort through hundreds of others cluttering your inbox. You can also choose to have VIP messages show up in the Notification Center.
-- Easier photo insertion. In previous iOS versions, it was easier to e-mail photos by starting in the Photos app. But now, by double-clicking on any blank part of an e-mail-compose page, you can call up an option to attach a photo or video. If you don't see the option right away, click on the right arrow.
-- Private photo sharing. Wanna share photos with family members but hate Facebook? By selecting a photo and tapping the share button, you can choose to file it in a "Photo Stream" for private viewing by the individuals you designate via e-mail. The "streams" you create will be there for future use, allowing you to send more photos to the same group of individuals without having to retype e-mail addresses.
-- iTunes samples. Song samples in iTunes continue to play even though you hop around in other parts of the music store, or leave it.


text: Brakes come in a variety of designs depending on the age and style of your bike. Rim brakes offer more modulation but have less stopping power, so are more suited to riding on the roads. Disc brakes can provide huge amounts of stopping power so are best suited to off road riding, although 'V' rim brakes are also well suited to mountain biking. All brakes use a friction system to stop the movement of the wheel, so regular checks of the contact pads should form part of your regular cycle maintenance.

Story highlights

Now the 16 finalists have been decided, the build-up to next year's European Championship finals in Poland and Ukraine has truly begun.

BASF AG has finalized the global acquisition of fipronil from Bayer CropScience AG, paving the way for the insecticide with the trade name Regent to join the BASF corn product portfolio.
Late in 2002, BASF announced its intent to purchase a package of products, including fipronil, from Bayer. The sale totaled 1.330 million euros, — about $1.42 million.
"This purchase further strengthens our insecticide portfolio, and reinforces BASF as a long-term player in agriculture," Andy Lee, BASF director of U.S. business operations said at a March 26 press conference.
With the sale closed, Regent now will be marketed by BASF in a corn product portfolio that includes Distinct, Guardsman Max, Lightning and Outlook herbicides, Counter systemic insecticide-nematicide, and other crop-protection products.
"The addition of fipronil, and Regent specifically, allows us to offer our customers a liquid corn insecticide option for the first time," said Lee. "We believe Regent will be a significant complement to our overall corn portfolio."
Regent is a soil insecticide that offers complete corn protection, controlling pests such as rootworm, wireworm and early-season European corn borer, Lee noted. In addition, Regent controls a number of secondary corn pests, including common stalk borer, seed corn maggot, seed corn beetle, chinch bug grubs and thrips.
"The way we see it, the biggest advantage we can offer with Regent is its wide spectrum of insect control. Many older, competing products only offer corn rootworm control, but Regent, as a liquid, offers a much broader insect control solution," he says. "Because of this, we continue to see a need for this product even with new transgenic products coming to the market.
"Regent not only represents the newest generation of corn insecticides, but also nicely complements our strong Counter granular business," Lee said. "With this purchase, we will offer our channel partners and growers an even stronger corn insecticide portfolio."
The acquisition of the package from Bayer, including fipronil, also will allow BASF in the mid-term to enter the seed treatment business, Lee noted.
"We want to assure corn growers and retailers that supplies of Regent will continue to meet the needs of the market," he said.
According to Lee, BASF is proceeding with new product registrations associated with the recent acquisition. Specifically, he says, the company is interested in pursuing a seed treatment package with fipronil, and is researching a new wheat fungicide.
Fipronil, the active ingredient in Regent, is a broad-spectrum insecticide from the new chemistry class of phenyl pyrazoles. Fipronil is currently registered and sold in more than 70 countries.
"BASF is a company committed to agriculture for the long term. As such, we are always evaluating any opportunities to grow our agriculture business," Lee says.

If you haven't already, be prepared when you turn 18 to be bombarded by credit card offers. Using credit cards responsibly can build good credit, but you can quickly become overwhelmed if you aren't careful. Keep these tips in mind to help you stay money-conscious and avoid credit card woes.
Don't fall for free gifts or promotions. Many credit card companies lure in college students by offering incentives. Under the CARD act of 2009, credit card companies can no longer offer "any tangible item as a gift" on campus or within 1000 feet of campus. However, companies can still offer incentives at locations away from campus. Gift cards, t-shirts, backpacks, coolers, airline miles - are they really worth damaging your personal credit? Your credit score decreases each time a new inquiry is run in your name, so choose one or two cards and stick with them for the long run.
Shop around for a card. Before you sign up for a credit card, be sure to read the fine print. Try to find a card that offers no annual fee and a low finance charge.
Open an account with a low credit limit. A low credit limit makes you less likely to accrue a lot of debt. Even if you're approved for more, ask for a limit of under $1,000 and plan to charge much less.
Pay full amount each month. If you always pay the total balance, then you will build a good credit rating and avoid credit card trouble and big finance charges. With a finance charge of 18% on a $1,000 balance, making minimum payments could take 12 years to pay off and cost an additional $1,115 in interest. If you cannot pay your balance off in full each month, adding even $25-$50 above the minimum payment helps.
Pay bill on time every month. If you send in late payments, not only will it hurt your credit score, but you will also be charged late fees. Make sure you know when your payment is due each month, so you can avoid those extra charges.
Avoid cash advances. Most fees for cash advances are steep and interest rates are often higher. If you need cash, use a debit card.
Avoid impulse shopping. Charging an occasional slice of pizza and a soda is fine, but purchases like that add up quickly. Treat your credit card like a checking account. Use it only for emergencies or when you know you can pay off the balance in full when your bill arrives.
Monitor your credit report. Review your report annually and question any discrepancies. Credit agencies can make mistakes.
Having a credit card can be beneficial if you use it in a responsible manner. If you get the best deal when you sign up for a card and pay off your balance each month by the due date, then you should have no problems avoiding credit card woes.

|Flashback Count
Elizabeth Smith, known as Libby to her fellow survivors, is one of the crash survivors from the tail-section of Oceanic Flight 815 on the mysterious island, and claims to be a clinical psychologist. She is played by Cynthia Watros, where she played a billed role in season two and made occasional guest appearances in the following seasons. She appeared in twenty-one episodes total.
Basic Information
Libby told Hurley that she'd been married several times (at least three). She once broke her leg skiing in Vermont. She also donated her late husband David's boat to Desmond for his attempt to win a sailing race around the world. She said she spent a year in medical school before dropping out and eventually became a clinical psychologist, specializing in marriage and family counseling. However, she spent an unspecified amount of time as a patient in the Santa Rosa Mental Ward slightly over a year before the crash, and it is not yet clear if she really was a clinical psychologist.
The First 44 Days (Season One)
Libby set the leg of Donald, but without supplies, he died of an infection anyway. Libby and Cindy watched over the children, Zack and Emma, who were stranded without their parents after the plane crashed.
After the Others kidnapped 9 people on Day 12, including both children, Libby wanted to leave the beach. Later she told Ana-Lucia that she was worried that the Tail-section Others might have a mole among the group.
Season Two
When Libby and Michael were gathering fruit for the hike to the other side of the island, Libby told Michael that she thinks Sawyer is more scared then she's ever seen before in her life, and she knows scared. Libby said that they don't dare head inland for more fruit because that is where they come from. At that Michael took off inland to search for Walt, and Libby ran back to the tail-survivors camp.
She and the rest of the tail-section survivors eventually made it to the mid-section survivor's beach camp. It was there that she caught the eye of Hurley and the two formed a relationship. She helped Hurley through his eating problem by talking him into trashing his own private stash of food from the Swan's pantry and going on power walks with him. Libby was also able to talk Hurley out of jumping off a cliff when Hurley's imaginary friend, Dave, told Hurley that the entire island and everyone on it was a figment of his imagination.
Hurley attempted to plan a romantic picnic with Libby, but couldn't remember how to get to the right beach and forgot to bring blankets and drinks. Libby asked Hurley to get some wine from Rose and Bernard while she got the blankets. She retrieved the blankets from the Swan, but was inside when Michael shot and killed Ana-Lucia. Michael, startled by Libby's sudden appearance, shot her twice. She was discovered by Jack and the others, but Jack was unable to treat her injuries and could only inject her with heroin to ease her pain. Libby died inside the Swan, with Hurley by her side, unable to tell everyone what Michael did.

It's been a busy couple of weeks for exoplanetary discoveries, but also for me, which explains why I've taken so long getting round to writing about them.
On the 28th of August, the Kepler mission announced the discovery of a unique binary star two planet system. The Kepler 47 family consists of a binary pair, a G-type star – about 84% as massive as the Sun, and a smaller M-type red dwarf roughly 36% of the Sun's mass, but only 1.4% as luminous. Two planets have been observed to be orbiting the pair. The closest is of these is Kepler 47 (AB) b, estimated (from mass-radius relationships) to be between 7 and 10 Earth masses, but the error on this figure remains large. The outermost planet, Kepler 47 (AB) c, is Neptune-sized (16 – 23 Earth masses) and is orbiting within the habitable zone, although due to its large mass it is unlikely to fulfil the traditional requirements for planetary habitability. The configuration of the Kepler 47 system illustrates the fact that stable multi-planetary orbits can exist around binary stars, and brings the total of circumbinary planets to six.
In other news, a new planet was added to the Habitable Exoplanets Catalog (HEC) on the 29th of August, bringing the total to six (including: Gliese 581d and g, Gliese 677Cc HD 85512b, Kepler 22b). Super-Earth Gliese 163c was established to be orbiting within the habitable zone of its 0.40 Solar mass star by an international team working at the European HARPS project. It completes an orbit in 26 days and has a mass no less than 6.9 times that of the Earth. The custodians of the HEC database have given Gliese 163c an Earth Similarity Index (ESI) rating of 0.73, establishing it as the 5th 'most habitable' exoplanet discovered to date, despite exhibiting possible surface temperatures of 60 °C or above.
Speaking to online science network io9, HEC lead scientist Professor Abel Méndez in the Planetary Habitability Laboratory at the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo said, "Gliese 163c ranks fifth in our current list of six potentially habitable exoplanets because it is nearly twice the size of Earth and its temperature is also higher, but it's still an object of interest for the search of biosignatures by future observatories." The HEC has yet to assess Kepler 43 (AB) c, but it is not likely to fare well in habitability assessments due to its large mass.
Bringing my own (as-of-yet-unpublished, but in preparation) research into planetary habitable periods to the table, Kepler 43 (AB) c has a residence time within the habitable zone of approximately 3.9 billion years, whilst Gliese 163c can be expected to within the habitable zone for at least 22.6 billion years. The habitable zone is now populated by 8 planets (including the Earth), and looks a bit like this:
It's certainly an exciting time to be working in this field; nearly each new week brings another interesting discovery. Keep looking up!

CMA Songwriters Series Returns to Boston, Will Feature Miranda Lambert
The CMA Songwriters Series is celebrating its ninth year, and it's had a great run of fan favorite songwriters who tell the stories behind their hit songs. This year, the series includes a stop on the East Coast, in Boston, featuring the lovable lady known as Miranda Lambert.
Held in the acclaimed Royale Boston Nightclub, Lambert will take the stage alongside country artists Brett James, Kip Moore and Bob DiPiero, who will also serve as the evening's host. James and DiPiero were also part of last year's program, which featured powerhouse vocalist Carrie Underwood.
"Nashville's songwriters are the best in the world and CMA is excited to return to Boston to showcase some of these spectacular artists again," said Steve Moore, CMA Chief Executive Officer. "It's great to see how this series has grown since it began in 2005, expanding to play in cities across the U.S., and overseas in places like the U.K. and Paris as well. Boston has given us such a warm reception and we are thrilled to continue to share the remarkable stories behind the hit songs with the terrific fans there."
Lambert, the reigning CMA Female Vocalist of the Year and Song of the Year winner for 'Over You,' is sure to not only bring great music to Boston, but also add her sweet and sassy personality with each anecdote. Maybe she'll even dish a few humorous details about her husband, Blake Shelton. Or even better -- maybe she'll give the scoop on her upcoming album. The event will hopefully bring smiles to a city that has seen much tragedy over the past few months.
CMA Songwriters Series will take place Thursday, July 11, and tickets are on sale now. After its Boston stop, the program will also play in Chicago, Austin, and Nashville and New York with talent to be announced at a later date.

I must've gotten something stuck in my eye at the end of "Labor Day."
Which was a pretty amazing turnabout, considering that about an hour earlier, I thought I was going to cry over what screenwriter/director Jason Reitman was trying to force down our throats with his adaptation of Oakland author Joyce Maynard's novel of the same name.
Get a load of this premise:
A convicted murderer (Josh Brolin) escapes from prison and, in what is surely the smoothest public kidnapping in cinematic history, forces a an emotionally distraught woman (Kate Winslet) and her about-to-explode-into-puberty son (Gattlin Griffith) to take him home and tend to his wounds. He turns out to be the father the boy wants and the emotional savior the mother needs — and a whole lot more: handyman, expert chef, car mechanic and baseball coach, all wrapped into one ruggedly handsome package with whom his victims start bonding mere hours after being snatched.
Oh, and he's great with kids in wheelchairs — and makes pies so sexy the food in the refrigerator scene in "9 ½ Weeks" would be embarrassed to be in the same kitchen.
Poor Brolin. Women everywhere will now beg him to kidnap them.
Like Maynard's novel, "Labor Day" is set in mid-1980s New Hampshire (where she grew up). The main protagonist is 13-year-old Henry Wheeler, whose main concerns in life are caring for his reclusive mother, Adele (played with exceptional weariness and fragility by Winslet), and the tingly sensations he's suddenly getting when looking at girls. When the pair venture out shopping for school clothes, they're confronted by escaped and wounded prisoner Frank Chambers, who calmly but firmly forces his way into their home while the small town around them buzzes with the manhunt.
Chambers initially wants to stay just until nightfall, but then he starts cooking, which becomes a near-embarrasing metaphor for love or sex, depending on whose fingers are in the mixing bowl at any given time.
So how does a film that likely would have Nicholas Sparks wincing during its first half-hour turn out to be such a guilty pleasure?
Reitman is unapologetic in his goal of making you desperately want these poor people to come together in a world that, despite its outward beauty (the cinematography makes you feel the sweaty weather coming off the screen), is full of unimaginable ugliness. The film just won't give up. Like a cheetah spotting a gazelle, it hunts you and chases your emotions until you finally succumb. Despite being one of the most unbelievable plots in love story history, it's also one of the most emotionally magnetic. That's why we go to the movies — to see things that don't happen in real life, and once in a while you have to give in.
It doesn't hurt that the acting is first-rate, the chemistry between Winslet and Brolin is enviable, and there's just enough foreshadowing to pique one's interest as to how it will all play out and why these characters have come to need each other so badly and so quickly. "Labor Day" alternates between dream and nightmare realities that make it hard to predict what's coming next and eventually, harder still not to care.
To his credit, Griffith doesn't overact in the role of middle-schooler Henry, whose life is so inside-out it's difficult for him to be anything but stone-cold confused (his "girlfriend," the wise, big-city transplant Eleanor, played by Brighid Fleming, swipes every scene she's in). But as much as the story is told from Henry's point of view (narrated by Tobey Maguire, who appears late in the film), "Labor Day" is really about whether two badly wounded people can recover from devastating loss and find a reason to live.
Whether we get the ending we expect — or want — depends on whether we're hopeless romantics or pay specific attention to all the "Bonnie & Clyde" talk between Henry and Eleanor. Either way, Reitman — who has given us "Juno" and "Up in the Air" — has made a film that is unapologetic in its aim to rip your heart from your chest. And "Labor Day" does just that. Resistance is futile.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Sales Associate Was Fired After Reporting Pregnancy, Federal Agency Charged
ATLANTA – DDK, Inc., doing business as D&K Suit City, a retail clothing store in Morrow, Ga., unlawfully fired a female sales associate after she reported to her employer that she was pregnant, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it recently filed.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit, when Linda Bell informed a manager of her pregnancy, he promptly reduced her hours. Immediately thereafter, her supervisor hired two new sales associates and gave them progressively more hours even as he reduced Bell's hours further. Eventually, Bell was removed from the work schedule entirely and terminated.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of sex or pregnancy. The EEOC filed suit (Civil Action No., 110-cv-03056) in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. The EEOC is seeking back pay, compensatory and punitive damages for Bell as well as injunctive relief designed to stop pregnancy discrimination and prevent it from recurring in the future.
"An employee should never be terminated simply because she is pregnant," said Robert Dawkins, regional attorney for the EEOC's Atlanta District Office. "Our discrimination laws were specifically enacted to prohibit employers from punishing workers for starting a family, which was what was done to Ms. Bell."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Officials are working out plans for a historic gathering of veterans and active-duty service members to parade down Eglin Parkway in April.
FORT WALTON BEACH � Officials are working out plans for a historic gathering of veterans and active-duty service members to parade down Eglin Parkway in April.
Out in front will be the remaining Doolittle Raiders, the legendary World War II fliers who will be in town for their 71st and final official reunion.
The Parade of Heroes on April 20 will be the first of its kind in Northwest Florida, a community known for its love of parades. It will give everyone a chance to show in a very public way their appreciation for those who have given their service, said Eppi Azzaretto, a spokeswoman for the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce, which is organizing the parade and the Raider Reunion.
On April 18, 1942, about 80 men were dispatched on a surprise bombing mission to Japan in retaliation for the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Sixteen B-25 bomber crews led by Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle scattered 500-pound bombs across Tokyo and other cities.
Three of the four remaining Raiders are scheduled to attend the reunion April 17-20.
A fifth raider, Tom Griffin, died Tuesday in Cincinnati at the age of 96.
�This is their farewell tribute,� Azzaretto said. �We�re going to do it up right.�
The Raiders will lead the parade. They will be followed by World War II veterans and then vets from each war in chronological order through Afghanistan.
Active-duty personnel will follow them.
The chamber has reached out to all military entities in the area, from Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field to the Naval Explosive Ordnance school and the Army 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne).
�We are hoping all of them will have a presence in the parade,� said Ted Corcoran, the chamber�s president.
The parade will start at 11 a.m. and follow Eglin Parkway from First Street north Irwin Avenue. The public is invited to show their support along the route.
Beach Community Bank plans to hand out thousands of American flags to spectators.
More information about parade lineup and logistics will be available soon in the Daily News and on the chamber�s website at www.fwbchamber.org.
The chamber is looking for volunteers with parade floats or parade-suitable convertible cars to help transport people who may not be able to walk. Call the chamber for more information at 244-8191.
No commercial entries will be allowed.
B-25 bombers like those used during the Doolittle raid will fly over the parade route, Corcoran said.
Pilots also will offer the public flights on the planes from Destin Airport from April 16 to 22. No reservations are necessary. The cost is $425.
The main banquet for the Raider Reunion on April 20 is sold out, but a few $35 tickets remain for the Raider Lunch on April 18 at the C.H. �Bull� Rigdon Fairgrounds and Recreation Center. The lunch will include a presentation about the raid and the Raiders will answer questions from the audience.
�If you want to learn about the Raiders, this will be the event to attend,� Corcoran said.
Tickets and more information are available at www.doolittletickets.com.
Some complimentary tickets also remain for a lunch to honor all World War II veterans April 19 at the fairgrounds.
The tickets are available for World War II veterans living in Northwest Florida plus one guest. They can be picked up at the chamber at 34 Miracle Strip Parkway S.
Proceeds from the Raider reunion will go to the Fisher House of the Emerald Coast a new endowed scholarship in the Doolittle name at Northwest Florida State College.
