From the APP:
NJ unemployment rate falls to 8.5 percent; NJ loses 1,500 jobs
New Jersey’s unemployment rate fell from 8.6 percent to 8.5 percent in August, but the state lost 1,500 jobs, led by a big drop in professional and business services, the state Department of Labor and Workforce Development said.
The unemployment rate is now at its lowest level since March 2009, the department reported. But the unemployment rate fell even as the state lost jobs because a greater number of workers — more than 12,000 from July to August — gave up looking for work and left the labor force.
In the past 12 months, the state has gained 60,300 jobs, the department reported.
…
Industries that gained included education and health services (+2,800), leisure and hospitality (+2,100), trade, transportation and utilities (+1,900), manufacturing (+600) and other services (+200). Job losses came in professional and business services (-5,900), financial services (-2,400), information (-700) and construction (-100).Public sector employment was unchanged in August. Gains at the state (+600) and federal (+100) levels were counterbalanced by a drop in local government employment (-700).
“The state has had strong job gains over the last year and a major decline in unemployment with the rate dropping steadily. . Considering we’re looking at the lowest unemployment rate since March 2009 and we saw vigorous job growth last fall, we are hopeful we will see a repeat,” said Charles Steindel, chief economist for the state Treasury Department.

From MarketWatch:
Bernanke gives home buyers a breather
Mortgage rates are poised to drop following the Federal Reserve’s announcement on Wednesday that it will continue with its bond-buying program, giving home buyers some breathing room for at least a few weeks.
Mortgage rates have been rising since late spring, when Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke first announced the possibility of a reduction in the $85-billion-a-month bond-buying program. The Fed has been the primary purchaser of mortgage-backed securities since late 2008, creating constant demand for these products, which helped push mortgage rates to record lows. Mortgage rates spiked at the end of June when the Fed signaled that paring back of bond-buying could begin in September. And rates have remained elevated since then, but the Fed’s unexpected decision to not scale back on its program will likely result in a break from rising mortgage rates. Instead, rates are likely to drop at least for the next month, says Keith Gumbinger, vice president at mortgage-info website HSH.com.
For home buyers who are about to get a mortgage, the announcement should result in lower rates. The average rate on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages fell slightly to 4.64% by end of day Wednesday, down from 4.68% for the week ended Sept. 13, according to HSH.com. Gumbinger says rates could drop by as much as 10 basis points, the equivalent of 0.10 percentage point, in total by the end of the week, which would bring average rates to 4.58% and they could drop to as low as 4.48% on average by mid-October, especially if the economic reports released during this period are weaker than expected. At 4.48%, rates would be back to where they were in the beginning of July.
Just in case you forgot that HAMP was still around, from HousingWire:
Loan modifications boost the housing recovery
An estimated 63,000 homeowners received permanent, affordable loan modifications from mortgage servicers in July, including mods completed under both proprietary programs and the government’s Home Affordable Modification Program, according to a report from Hope Now.
The July numbers indicate that an estimated 50,000 homeowners received proprietary loan modifications, with 13,183 homeowners receiving HAMP modifications, according to data from the U.S. Department of Treasury.
For the year, the total number of loan mods currently stands at approximately 519,000, compared to an estimated 378,000 foreclosure sales reported for the year so far.
July’s total of 63,000 modifications makes the total number of permanent loan modifications 6.6 million since 2007. In the same time period, approximately 5.36 million homeowners have received proprietary loans modifications.
Since HAMP reporting began in 2009, more than 1.2 million homeowners have received modifications through the program.

Interesting concept. The main part of house is right next to but detached from deck garage. When a hurricane is coming or flood, you can push a switch and house rises an additional several feet in the air.
Useful if FEMA raises BFE requirments down the road and useful for once in a lifetime Sandy storms. Also cool as you dont have to be up 30 steps in air to be safe and then have to climb those damm 30 steps every day for 30 years. You can raise house just for the once in a lifetime storm.
Pretty cool. She is going to give me address and packet later today.
Their position on guns is for customers to follow the laws in the state in which the store resides. Some idiots think that means they are “pro-gun”.
The open carry folks that continue to be in-your-face about their “right to carry” are ruining it for everyone else. It’s fine to open carry, just don’t rub it in people’s face. They attract the attention of legislators who are always looking for a hot button issue to “legislate” and further their political careers.

http://www.waitbutwhy.com/2013/09/why-generation-y-yuppies-are-unhappy.html
I had to post this link from yesterday regarding the
puppyGen Y crowd because I wanted to comment but work is consuming me. I was feeling somewhat sympathetic towards their plight, considering the abysmal economy and the slow death of permanent jobs with real benefits. I don’t know why they pulled the lever a second time to re-elect the Keynesian Kenyan especially after having four years to witness the charlatan in action. I can’t figure out why they’re having trouble with the concept that prosperity through government doesn’t exist.Anyway, I was attempting to put myself in their shoes and then wha-bam, some genius decides to comment on the article and specify that the double space between sentences is outdated. OUTDATED! So, this sent me off the edge. Quickly! This is why you little, snot-nosed twerps can’t find a job. You’re arrogant. But not in a way that is driven by respect, you’re arrogant in a way that is loaded with meek impertinence and dire lack of experience; sort of like the guy you elected to come to your rescue… twice.
Here’s some advice for you tender souls and the reason why I can land a job before you, even if I had piss-stained pants while walking into the interview: Don’t give canned answers or say something you think the person on the other side of the desk wants to hear. If they ask you “Where do want to be in five years,” then the job is probably as miserable as the person asking that question. Regardless, answer the question with passion and honesty. Speak from the heart and not from a text your friend sent you. You take control of the interview, not them. Have a conversation, not an interview. If there’s chemistry, it will turn into a conversation anyway and you’ll most likely be in the running as a result. The majority of hirings are based on chemistry, not on how well you can text or your degree in Urban Metro Sexual studies.
Remove the word “got” and “I” from your resume. Completely. “Alot” is not a word. Look at your resume and picture it as an architectural drawing, a work of art. Most people are idiots and if it looks pretty, it might get a second look. Your eyes should view it in steps, naturally. Eye appeal matters. You wouldn’t give an beastly person a second look, so why would someone look at a ugly resume? If it has the format resembling footnotes (For you guys and gals with a degree in Enigmatology, a footnote is an ancillary piece of information printed at the bottom of a page.) Your resume needs to contain quantitative measurements, not a job description. We know you can play a video game; tell us the level of car-jackings achieved in a specified time allotment proportional to the coefficient of hand jerking on your ping-o-tronic console.

Bottom line most folks are fed a bunch of BS in school and from parents that they are special and they all will have great careers and big jobs. No one ever a day in my life growing up fed me that line of bs.
When I spoke to the class of 2013/2014 a few weeks ago and was at the podium looking out at 300 or so students who all thought they were special I looked at their faces and thought only 2-3 I actually can see making it.
Afterwards when I spoke to them the most shocking thing was how overly confident they were. Three girls in particular approached me shook my hand, had nice suits and went right into how great they are and how much they want to work on wall street, in broken english and even handed me business cards I am trained to read so I know the name and it is just a bunch of crazy letters I could not pronounce. Then I ask work experience and they are like my parents have me concentrate on school
So here I am a five foot one inch asian girl, never worked a day in her life, has a name I cant pronounce speaking broken english when a professor or dean comes up at same time to tell me how great she is.
OK, I am thinking. A junior person needs to carry a heavy laptop, travel, go to meetings, maybe carry files. Maybe I go on a business trip someone I want to go to bar with. Someone who has street smarts and can get it done not give me a pile of charts. Also I want someone who makes me look good. Exactly what am I buying here.
I had around ten years ago working for me, a hot girl in her 30’s CPA, super nice clothes very friendly, a Harvard graduate, A 55 year old professional man, one or two student like Japanese girls, also had a top tier educated black guy and a guy I swear in his mid twenties top school who could be a professional model. Clients paid me $425 an hour 50 hours a week just to have him around. We had a team like the A team. I could build a car, fly to moon, reconcile complex financial statements. Once the BOD took my 20 person team out and was very impressed, my staff spoke multiple languages, played piano, one used to be an opera singer and the best wait for it, one staff was a child movie actor, was on the wonder years. At end of dinner head of board ask me what do I do do I have special hobbies, talents, skills. I say I have no special talents and skills whatsoever. I then say but I am able to assemble large teams of brillant people and keep them movivated to work 60 hours a week for you every week week after week which make you look amazing.
The kids today for most part, wait on line for iphones, play grand theft auto, listen to itunes, heck dont even have drivers licenses or apartments.
I would say around 2003 I started losing my ability to get great staff under 20, by 2007 it was impossible.
Kids today dont make me look good. My job under 40 was to make my boss look good, over 40 staffs job is to make boss look good.
Now I get kids who want me to make them look good. WTF, take your goddamm soccer with no goal tender days where everyone gets a trophy and screw yourself.
No one who ever stabbed me in the back is sitting easy. That is a great article
Only job I want is Helicopter Ben’s job.

New name Collapseberry… and stock symbol CBRY
Not all Gen Ys fit the stereotype. But again, it depends on your upbringing. I, for one, told my kids from day one that they are responsible for their actions. Every one of their decisions had consequences, I let them know, good or bad.
My eldest son, 26, just got married this past weekend. Bride and groom both Ivy educated. Needless to say, the reception was filled with kids in his age group. Many med school students, lawyers, some Wall Streeters. All seemed to be genuinely happy. None were pessimistic about their future.
The path to success is planned early in life. Results do vary. It is the foundation that counts the most. You can stray along the path, but if your roots are deep, you will prosper.

xolepa,
It’s just the same as every generation saying the one behind it is (insert your favorite adjectives).
That’s not to say there isn’t a slow steady purposeful decline.
History does repeat itself. It will be one heck of a shock needed to correct the course. I don’t want to be around when that happens. On the other hand, the younger generations are not so bad. I sincerely believe they are a step ahead of the baby boomers in terms of native intelligence. But then again, I live in Hunterdon county. What are we and our children exposed to? For example, we did not have a single murder in the county for a period stretching over 10 years, ending a few years back. What do I know about the real world?

The End Is Nigh (JJ Influence in Syria Edition):
Tunisian women waging ‘sex jihad’ in Syria
Tunisian women have traveled to Syria to wage ‘sex jihad’ by comforting Islamist fighters battling the regime there, Interior Minister Lotfi ben Jeddou has told MPs.
‘They have sexual relations with 20, 30, 100′ militants, the minister told members of the National Constituent Assembly Thursday.
‘After the sexual liaisons they have there in the name of ‘jihad al-nikah’ – (sexual holy war in Arabic) – they come home pregnant,’ Ben Jeddou told the MPs.
He did not elaborate on how many Tunisian women had returned to the country pregnant with the children of jihadist fighters.
Jihad al-nikah, permitting extramarital sexual relations with multiple partners, is considered by some hardline Sunni Muslim Salafists as a legitimate form of holy war.
The minister also did not say how many Tunisian women were thought to have gone to Syria for such a purpose, although media reports have said hundreds have done so.
Hundreds of Tunisian men have also gone to join the ranks of the jihadists fighting to bring down the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
However, Ben Jeddou also said that since he assumed office in March, ‘six thousand of our young people have been prevented from going there’ to Syria.
He has said in the past that border controls have been boosted to intercept young Tunisians seeking to travel to Syria.
Media reports say thousands of Tunisians have, over the past 15 years, joined jihadists across the world in Afghanistan Iraq and Syria, mainly travelling via Turkey or Libya.

That would be me. RIM is not leaving the Enterprise space any time soon. The company may be sold and they may have a headwind wind of BYOD, but they are still the best player in the market and IT departments down want to let them go. Between the X/Q10 and the new X30 they have a product to hold them in the market.
At this point I’ll make a call that Oracle picks them up to move more fully into the mobile arena.

About RIM/Blackberry. They shot themselves in the head and deserve the death spiral where they are.
It is not about handset, or new models. It’s simply that their whole value for business and personal users worldwide was their propietary encrypted communications.
When RIM opened it up to the Saudi, Dubai, and other middle eastern countries so those authorities could track and crack down on people during the orange revolution over the past few years. RIM goose was cooked.
Just like right now, US Tech companies are riding high. But the business decision and repercussions of the NSA surveillance wont be felt right away, but in a few years time. Just like now in 2010 RIM was still riding high and 3 yrs later they are on the way out.
RIM should dump the hardware and focus only on enterprise software that enables secure byod and platform messaging enhancement for iOS and Android (and even Windows Phone/RT). Platform agnosticism is their only hope.
Larry buying RIM is a very interesting proposition, but has there every been an occasion where Oracle bought a loser hoping to turn it around?

RIM is toast. They have a billion dollars in unsold inventory, meaning
Their new phones aren’t selling. Focus on the enterprise? Their new enterprise offering no longer does email, calendar and address book synch it provides only VPN and MDM. Business have to turn up twice as much hardware and software to replace Blackerry 5 with Blackberry 10 to do the same damm thing. Businesses are not happy about the blindsided spend few budgeted for it as well. Slow bleed from here on in for them. I Think the new handset is ok perhaps if it came out in 2009 things would be different and they would still have all of their enterprise customers to fall back on.
re # 80 – Airwatch and Maas360 already have that sown up up the cloud plus a few other MDM vendors. BBRY’s MDM solution requires on premise IIS meaning Microsoft in the supposed secure area of your network. Not allot of companies like to do that, and BBRY 10 does not have a cloud solution. Also their new BB10 platform does not yet support their mobile voice VOIP solution they rolled out in version 5 and it does not support clustering and HA which was also in Version 5. Lots of other little things too like low cost handset replacement. The old BBRY handsets were dirt cheap and the carriers often replaced them for free. The new handsets are not cheap and will cost allot to replace, if anything watch for one of the carriers to back another handset. IOS 7 formally now has APIs for MDM and Enterprise Support via 3rd Party vendors like Airwatch.
Another thing all of their talent will be gone with the layoffs and those that saw the light and quit already. They delivered BB10 incomplete, I don’t think it will ever be finished, they just won’t have the talent to pull it off.

RIM should dump the hardware and focus only on enterprise software that enables secure byod and platform messaging enhancement for iOS and Android (and even Windows Phone/RT). Platform agnosticism is their only hope.
