ParticipantAustin is the grandson who set up the camera etc. I am addicted and keep the tab open on my laptop while I do other searches/work. She alerts me with her screeching when her mate arrives.

ParticipantIt’s not just lawyers who are desperate for jobs; the biotech sector in San Diego has taken a huge hit in jobs the last couple of years (my husband is one of many laid off):
01/19/10 “(Recruiter Meredith)Dow says it is clear some industry sectors in San Diego weathered last year’s funding drought better than others. For example, she says, the past year was hard on early-stage drug research. Cash-starved biotechs slashed drug discovery operations in order to finance clinical trials of their most advanced drug candidates. Large numbers of veteran scientists were let go, resulting in one of the worst employment markets Dow has ever witnessed for medicinal chemists.
“In normal times, chemists never sat on the market for more than a week or two,” she tells me. “Now, some really great analytic chemists and organic chemists have been out for work for six or seven months. That is going to be the norm, unfortunately.”
Dow expects at best slight gains in life sciences employment in San Diego this year. Although the worst may be over, she says it will be a while before lost research jobs come back.

ParticipantRep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., a pair of the most outspoken conservatives in Congress, are trying to revive plans to transform Social Security into a system of private accounts (while cutting benefits for anyone under 55 years old). Speaking for Republicans on the House Budget Committee, Ryan proposes a “road map” for Social Security that strongly resembles the old Bush plan. The Ryan version would phase in individual accounts funded by an increasing portion of FICA taxes, limited to investments in a list of approved funds and “guaranteed” by the federal government. Meanwhile, Hensarling simply asserted on “Hardball” that “you can get better healthcare and better retirement security if you go to a defined contribution plan,” which is the same idea.

January 17, 2010 at 6:32 PM in reply to: Are you having difficulty getting your offer accepted? #502994ParticipantMy girlfriend (a bankruptcy attorney)has made 11 offers on downtown condos, all bank-owned. Several went to all cash offers. Her most recent attempt/offer was turned down by the bank, which really surprised her realtor. I guess the bank is in no hurry to sell.
