SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- It has become a common sight around the country in recent weeks, community members donning hooded sweatshirts to protest violence and racial profiling.

Members of Tucker Missionary Baptist Church are the latest to join in, with many wearing hoodies to Sunday service. The movement is in memory of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who was shot and killed in Florida.

The man who shot Martin says he was acting in self defense, and he has not been arrested or charged.

Church officials said they organized the event to raise awareness in the community.

Leslie Johnson, Tucker Missionary Baptist Church Senior Pastor said, ?We want to make sure that people understand it doesn't matter what you wear on the outside, it's about who you are as an individual and for us not to have to suffer as a people doing those things that we did back in the 60s and early 50s."

Johnson said he believes it's important to take a stand locally because a tragedy like the one in Florida could just have easily happened here.

PFT: Payton, Loomis appeals to be heard Tuesday

Getty Images

With the tea leaves continuing to point toward former Giants, Patriots, Jets, and Cowboys coach Bill Parcells coming out of retirement for a one-shot opportunity to win a walk-off Super Bowl and cement his Hall of Fame legacy, not much has been said about the in-house candidates for the interim head coaching job.

A league source tells PFT that the current Saints assistants who had been mentioned as potential replacements for coach Sean Payton (offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr., offensive line coach Aaron Kromer, and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo) aren?t happy with the possibility of an outsider like Parcells swooping in and taking the job.? Carmichael, 40, joined the Saints with Payton in 2006, and Carmichael ran the offense while Payton was relegated to the booth as he recovered from a broken leg.? Kromer, 44, arrived in 2008 and also is in charge of the running game.? Spagnuolo, 52, has three years experience as a head coach, and his Rams delivered one of the three regular-season losses endured last year by the Saints.

As the source explained it, the thinking is that Parcells would simply run the press conferences and decide whether to go for it on fourth down, with Carmichael in charge of the offense and Spagnuolo in charge of the defense.? If that?s all Parcells would be doing, why do the Saints need him?

The prevailing theory in league circles continues to be that Payton wants an outsider like Parcells because Parcells wouldn?t want to stay beyond 2012, and Payton already has publicly declared that he?ll be back in 2013.? If an in-house interim head coach enjoys a high level of success in 2012, owner Tom Benson may decide to make a change.? If the Saints win the Super Bowl at the Superdome, Benson may have no other choice but to promote the interim coach into Payton?s job.

The other side of this particular coin, however, is that an outsider may be necessary in order to prevent any friction between the assistant who gets bumped up and the other two who don?t.? Indeed, a cynic may say that the three names were leaked in order to set the stage for an outsider like Parcells to be the only viable solution.

Regardless, the process by all appearances will be moving toward a conclusion soon.? Unless the Saints plan to have no head coach when offseason workouts begin on April 16, Parcells or someone else will be getting the job within the next two weeks.

Texas employers add 27,900 jobs in February

March 30, 2012, 3:00 pm by Phil Schoch

?AUSTIN ?Texas? seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped to 7.1 percent in February, marking the sixth consecutive month of decline, according to the Texas Workforce Commission.

February?s unemployment rate was down from 7.3 percent in January, and from 8.0 percent in February 2011. Texas? unemployment rate is more than a full percentage point below the national unemployment rate of 8.3 percent and has remained below the national unemployment rate for 62 consecutive months.

Texas added 27,900 nonfarm jobs in February for a total of 273,900 jobs added since February 2011. Private employers added 15,100 jobs over the month, totaling 331,800 private sector jobs added over the year.

"Texas? job growth over the past year points to a steady and sustained expansion of our state?s economy,? said Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) Chairman Tom Pauken. "Texas has experienced positive annual job growth for the last 22 months, and that?s because Texas continues to be a great place to work and do business.?

The Manufacturing industry in Texas gained 24,400 jobs over the year, for an annual growth rate of 3.0 percent. Construction grew by 4,500 jobs over the month, totaling 8,100 jobs added over the past year.

"Eight of the 11 major industries in Texas added jobs in February, indicating that many different skill sets are in demand,? said TWC Commissioner Representing Labor Ronny Congleton. "Job seekers can access thousands of these opportunities by registering on WorkInTexas.com.?

Employment in Education and Health Services grew by 3,800 positions in February, marking the 19th consecutive month of positive over-the-month growth. With an annual growth rate of 3.5 percent, this industry has added 49,500 jobs over the past year.

"Texas employers continued to add jobs in February, with Trade, Transportation, and Utilities adding 8,300 jobs for a total gain of 68,300 jobs over the past year,? said TWC Commissioner Representing the Public Andres Alcantar. "TWC and our local boards remain focused on providing quality services to Texas employers and job seekers.?

The Midland Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) had the lowest February unemployment rate in the state at 3.8 percent. The Odessa MSA came in second at 4.5 percent, and the Amarillo MSA third at 5.0 percent (not seasonally adjusted).

Why You Should Use A Human Resource Management Team | Free ...

Most large and medium-size businesses, as well as many small enterprises, have hr departments. These departments, previously, have been relegated to merely hiring the needed staff for a business, in addition to handling the correct and regular payment of employees. However, with human resource management, the landscape of the average HR department has changed quite significantly.

Today, HR departments tend to be more proactive and much more involved in the vital day-to-day operations of the business. They are not only charged with hiring the required staff that the business needs to function, they are also actively participating in recruitment as well as handling in-house disputes and employee reviews. In addition, many human resources departments handle employee benefits and insurance issues as well.

Lots of people wonder what is the differences between your human resources department and human resource management. The only real true difference is one HR department is actually hired by the company as the human resource management choice is an outsourced human resources department.

The benefit to this is having an outsourced HR department, your business can in fact save a lot of money. A businessman or operator clearly understands hiring people costs, not only the amount of that employee?s paycheck, but a great deal more with regards to employee taxes, insurance costs and other various expenses. By outsourcing HR, you just pay a management company a flat fee for their services as your human resource department.

In many medium-size businesses especially, you?ll typically have a few employees wearing different hats. Perhaps they might be responsible for accounting but they also may fill in in human resources capacity as well. This can be very detrimental to the productivity of the employees have it pull double duty. However, by outsourcing your HR department to a human resource management service, you are able to open your employees to become more productive while not having to act as HR in addition to performing their other daily duties.

Additionally, outsourcing your businesses HR department will also make sure that your company is in compliance with the many complicated federal and state requirements on hiring along with other employee related issues. After all, HR is what these outsourced services do and they would know what the state and federal requirements are. You don?t have to worry about inadvertently becoming non compliant once you outsource your HR department.

There is little argument that a company needs an HR department. However, smaller businesses can often times have a very difficult time affording to hire a passionate HR department. For this reason, many small and medium-sized companies are simply outsourcing their human resource needs to a human resource management company.

This streamlines their business and enables them to cut costs while virtually having a human resource department that belongs to them. If this sounds like something which looks attractive to you, you?d do well to compare different services and find which HR service would best match your businesses needs.

Should Investors Activate Gold and Silver Airbags? | Wall St. Cheat ...

Earlier this week, a fully loaded Brinks truck carrying between $3 million and $5 million in uncirculated loonies and toonies crashed on a snow covered highway in Ontario, Canada. The truck crossed the centre line and slammed into a rock, launching the coins in every direction. The accident is an unfortunate event, but can serve as an analogy about today?s fragile fiat currencies.

The current financial system serves as a global high-speed economic highway that is filled with many obstacles, including debt, bubbles and politics. Being the world?s reserve currency, the U.S. dollar is the truck that is one good bump away from losing control and crashing, causing a chaotic financial wreck. The U.S. official national debt now stands at over $15.6 trillion, representing about $140,000 per taxpayer. The record debt amount continues to increase as Washington gridlock is stronger than ever. The debt ceiling, which was raised last August to $16.394 trillion and initially expected to last well into 2013, is now estimated by Zero Hedge to be reached in September of this year. When Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, was recently asked how much he would raise the debt ceiling if given only one more request, he responded, ?No idea.? After $20 trillion and $50 trillion were floated as ideas, he finally conceded, ?It would be a lot. It would make you uncomfortable.? The dire situation in Washington and the dollar is causing states to prepare for a bumpy road ahead.

In a bill that advanced on Tuesday, South Carolina residents would be able to use gold and silver coins as currency. The measure was approved by the House Judiciary Committee and would allow people to use both precious metals as money, as long as businesses agree to accept them. Under the bill, gold and silver coins in the state would also be exempt from any sales tax, an action that presidential candidate Ron Paul has long advocated. Eliminating sales and capital gains taxes on gold and silver are key steps to returning precious metals back to a normal currency role. Last year, Utah became the first state in the country to legalize gold and silver coins as currency. The Utah law also exempts the sale of the coins from state capital gains taxes.

Don?t Miss: Silver Goes Green

As more states and individuals prepare for future turmoil, Washington continues to look for more ways to abuse the nation?s currency. Geithner is currently trying to receive congressional permission to strip copper and other valuable metals from pennies and nickels. He told a House Appropriations Committee this week, ?Currently, the costs of making the penny and the nickel are more than twice the face value of each of those coins,? according to Philly.com. Since 1982, pennies are mostly made from zinc and only contain about 2.5 percent copper. Meanwhile, the nickel is composed of 75 percent copper and 25 percent nickel. Geithner hopes that minting changes ?will save more than $75 million? per year, starting next year. The U.S. nickel has not contained any silver since 1945 and silver was completely removed from quarters and dimes in 1965.

Although met with criticism, some governments are willing to eliminate certain circulated coins altogether. The Canadian government announced in its budget on Thursday it will withdraw its penny from circulation this year, hoping to save around $11 million annually. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said, ?Pennies take up too much space on our dressers at home. They take up far too much time for small businesses trying to grow and create jobs,? according to Bloomberg. That may be true, but the move also helps to hide the debasement of currencies from the public.

While elevated gold and silver prices flash a warning light to governments and fiat currencies worldwide, the signal is ignored by many. Investors looking to protect and diversify themselves against the current global financial system should strongly consider deploying gold and silver airbags. Individuals not willing to purchase gold and silver may want to consider picking up some U.S. nickels, while they still contain copper.

Kyle Bass, the Hayman Capital fund manager who correctly predicted the credit bubble, is a big believer in gold, platinum and nickels. In Michael Lewis? latest book, Boomerang, Bass explained that he purchased a million dollars? worth of nickels, totaling twenty million nickels. Bass explained, ?I?m telling you, in the next two years they?ll change the content of the nickel. You really out to call your bank and buy some now.?
