No matter how far technology might advance, there's always been one little area that the reigning powers-that-be have never quite managed to figure out. Or more specifically, an area they've never quite figured out how to talk to. Tech companies, meet women. And then stop treating them like idiots.

The job market appeared to get a little better in July for black Americans, among the hardest hit by high unemployment since the recession ended.
The unemployment rate for black workers declined last month by more than a full percentage point ? dropping from 13.7 percent in June to 12.6 percent. That's the lowest for that group since December 2008. And the rate fell because more people found jobs.
For black men 20 and older, unemployment dropped to 12.5 percent from 13 percent in June. Black adult women saw an even larger decline, to 10.5 percent from 12 percent in June.
Unemployment for black Americans is still among the highest for any single demographic group. And it is nearly double the rate of white workers, which stayed at 6.6 percent last month.
Here are some details from the government's report for various demographic groups:

Glens Falls Hospital has shut down its radiology school and teamed up with Southern Vermont College to train future radiologists.
The hospital closed the school to reduce costs. The decision also was driven by a growing demand to ensure that future radiologists have a four-year degree instead of two, according to a report by the Post-Star.
Glens Falls Hospital had operated a two-year certificate program for 62 years. The program trained 15 to 20 students. The hospital will continue offering clinical training under its new agreement with Southern Vermont College in Bennington, Vt.
The Warren County hospital, which employs about 3,000 people, selected Dianne Shugrue as its new CEO in June.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Japanese stocks rallied out of the Friday open, supported by a perfect storm of good earnings and sales results, a falling yen and strong overnight gains for U.S. shares. The Nikkei Stock Average /quotes/zigman/5986735 JP:NIK +1.78% rose 1.2% to 14,173.88 in early moves, with the broader Topix up 1.3%. Sony Corp. /quotes/zigman/197500 JP:6758 +0.57% /quotes/zigman/197524/quotes/nls/sne SNE +4.37% jumped 3% after sitting bid-only in the opening minutes, after the conglomerate swung from its year-earlier loss to a profit that included an almost six-fold rise in operating profit. Likewise, Sharp Corp. /quotes/zigman/197304 JP:6753 +1.95% /quotes/zigman/197313/quotes/nls/shcaf SHCAF +2.89% climbed 3.7% after significantly narrowing its quarterly net loss on the back of better display sales. The major brewers also saw some earnings-related advances, with Asahi Group Holdings Ltd. /quotes/zigman/191929 JP:2502 +4.76% /quotes/zigman/191935/quotes/nls/asbrf ASBRF -1.09% adding 3.3%, and Kirin Holdings Co. /quotes/zigman/194680 JP:2503 +1.00% /quotes/zigman/310060/quotes/nls/knbwy KNBWY +2.21% ahead by 2.7%.

The gains came despite weak domestic sales for the firm, with Honda's Japanese sales almost cut in half due to the lack of a new model for the market. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar's /quotes/zigman/4868099/sampled USDJPY -0.1656% rise back above the 99-yen level helped most exporters, with Renesas Electronics Corp. /quotes/zigman/326601 JP:6723 +3.32% /quotes/zigman/593649/quotes/nls/rnecy RNECY +3.67% zooming 5.1% higher, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. /quotes/zigman/195218 JP:7011 +2.55% /quotes/zigman/195227/quotes/nls/mhvyf MHVYF -15.28% adding 2.6%.

The Minnesota Attorney General warns senior citizens not to fall for claims of unscrupulous salespeople who instill and prey on seniors? financial fears in order to sell unwanted, unnecessary or unsuitable living trusts and annuities. Seniors should use caution with speaking with individuals trying to sell these products.
What is a living trust?
A living trust is an estate planning device created while you are alive. Property and other assets transferred into a living trust before a person?s death pass to another person without going through probate, the process by which a person?s property and assets are distributed according to his or her will.
What is an annuity?
An annuity is a contract that offers the promise of future payments in fixed or variable amounts in exchange for a current lump sum investment.
Living Trust Mills
?Living trust mills? target seniors and use high-pressure sales tactics to sell boilerplate living trusts, regardless of whether a living trust is appropriate for the senior?s circumstances. Some living trust mills use the financial information obtained from the senior to sell other investments, such as annuities, even if those products are not suitable investments for the senior.
Living trust mills often market their products through free seminars, in-home appointments, telephone, or mail. They typically employ high-pressure sales tactics and exaggerate the negative consequences of not buying the trust. These trusts usually consist of pre-packaged, boilerplate documents often of poor quality and are not customized to the needs of the senior. For example, living trust mills regularly tell seniors that they will save a significant amount of money in probate costs and fees by purchasing a living trust when, in fact, this may not be true.? In addition, they promote living trusts to get their foot in the door to sell annuities with high commissions.
Tips for Seniors
Be suspicious of ads for ?free? seminars and salespeople who call you on the telephone to sell you a living trust or legal plan.? Never provide financial information to someone you don?t know, whether by telephone, at a seminar, or someone who shows up on your doorstep.
If you would like an attorney to review your trust or answer your questions, contact Kathy Tatone at Your Family Guardian Law Firm in St. Louis Park, MN.? 612-710-2009.

A few weeks ago a crisis erupted between the Lebanese Finance Ministry and Middle East Airlines (MEA), with the ministry demanding the company pay taxes owed to the state. MEA responded by refusing to issue or sell plane tickets to the government.
About five years ago, the Lebanese Department of Senior Taxpayers at the Imports Directorate conducted a routine audit of MEA?s tax file, revealing that MEA did not pay taxes due under Articles 41 and 42 of the Income Tax Act.
The news that we stopped issuing tickets to the Lebanese state is true. We had previously stopped issuing tickets to diplomats, but we [resumed selling tickets] even though the state does not reimburse the company for the cost of the tickets.According to the study?s summary, the company must pay taxes imposed on bank interest paid to foreign banks for the years 2005 and 2006, years which Lebanon had no agreement with certain countries to prevent double taxation.
During this period alone, the taxes incurred by MEA was estimated at LL1.2 billion ($794,000). After fines, the amount increases to LL2 billion ($1.3 million).
The taxes are not limited to bank interest, as the study suggests. The company also owes taxes on benefits paid to pilots and flight attendants outside of Lebanon, as well as taxes on chartering and leasing planes.
MEA?s tax file is not unique. Previously, the Port of Beirut was forced to pay past-due taxes under the relevant articles.
Yet in MEA?s case, some legal experts were perplexed by the Shura Council?s decision because the company?s tax exemption was for Title I taxes ? a tax on profits. As for Titles II and III taxes, ?These are taxes on interest and income that are not levied on the company itself, but the company has to withhold and collect them on behalf of the public treasury. These taxes have been levied since the ?70s and are paid by all other companies operating in the field of aviation, no company can be exempted from them, whether in the private sector or a sort of public company like MEA,? according to a source in the Finance Ministry.
?No one can be excused for ignorance of the law, especially people who work at a company like MEA, [since] they are well-informed and the company ? has been operating in the market for quite some time,? he added.
MEA management responded to its tax debacle by refusing to issue plane tickets to all state institutions. According to MEA Chairperson Mohamad al-Hout, the question of taxation ?will be addressed with the prime minister and the finance minister.? He continued, ?The news that we stopped issuing tickets to the Lebanese state is true. We had previously stopped issuing tickets to diplomats, but we [resumed selling tickets] at the request of the prime minister, even though the state does not reimburse the company for the cost of the tickets.?
On that note, Prime Minister Najib Mikati had issued a circular restricting the travel of state employees and officials to MEA. Mikati?s circular gave a huge market share to the company and granted it enormous profits, especially since a number of employees had complained about the airline?s exorbitant ticket prices, sometimes three times the rate offered to other customers.
