Google just can't wait until ICANN reveals custom domain name bids in mid-June to say what it's trying to buy -- and it's clear that Mountain View went on a shopping spree. Some of the top-level domains in the land grab are ones you'd expect safeguarding Google's prized possessions, such as .google, .youtube and .docs. Others make us fear for the future of Internet memes. Google claims that it's bidding for TLDs such as .lol to explore their "interesting and creative potential,' but we have a hunch it's just taking the addition of LOL to the dictionary a little too seriously. The company does assuage our fears with a promise to prevent TLD abuse. If we ever see omgwtf.lol become a reality, though, we'll know Google has gone off the .deepend.

PARIS (AP) ? Fourth-seeded Andy Murray advanced to the third round of the French Open despite playing with an injured back.
Murray called for treatment on his back twice during the first set and again before the start of the second, but still managed to beat Jarkko Nieminen 1-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 Thursday.
Murray, who reached the semifinals at Roland Garros last year, had his serve broken three times in the opening set, and then again to open the second. But he then started to move better, and got back on serve at 4-4.
Murray is bidding to become the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win a Grand Slam tournament. He has lost in three major finals.

ATLANTA (AP) ? Mired in an eight-game losing streak, the Atlanta Braves decided to shake things up before Tuesday night's game against St. Louis.
Right-hander Kris Medlen was shipped to Triple-A Gwinnett, but not for anything he's done. The Braves want him to stretch out his arm so he can bolster the rotation, which is a bit of a mess with Mike Minor struggling, Randall Delgado not doing much better and former All-Star Jair Jurrjens already demoted to the minors.
Medlen showed up at Turner Field, ready to take his usual role in the bullpen, only to find out he was being shipped to the team's suburban Atlanta farm club. He will report Wednesday and expects to get his first start a couple of days later.
"I'm going to go home, sit on the sofa and have a beer," Medlen quipped, saying he planned to watch the Braves-Cardinals game on television.
That wasn't the only change. Jose Constanza was called up from Gwinnett and immediately inserted into the lineup as the left fielder. Also, he was batting ninth ? ahead of starting pitcher Delgado ? in a further attempt to end the team's longest losing streak in more than two years.
"You've got to try to push the envelope as much as you can," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Here we are. We've lost eight. Why not?"
When Medlen is ready to return, he'll likely take the spot of either Minor (2-4, 6.98 ERA) or Delgado (2-5, 4.53 before Tuesday's game).
Minor pitched well in spring training and got off to a solid start, going 2-1 with a 3.42 ERA in his first four starts. In his last six appearances, however, the left-hander is 0-3 with 9.95 ERA, having allowed 43 hits, 35 earned runs and 12 homers in 31 2-3 innings. Delgado's numbers are better, but he lasted less than six innings in seven of his first nine starts.
"You can't guarantee anybody anything in this game," Gonzalez said.
But he's also looking to settle his shaky team, which was leading the NL East before the losing streak. Gonzalez met with the players privately before the game for what was essentially a pep talk.
"I wanted to remind them we're a good club," the second-year manager said. "Sometimes, you've got to remind them. Sometimes, they forget."
The Braves are turning to the versatile Medlen (1-1, 3.49, one save) because he looks better than some of the other pitching options. Jurrjens has yet to regain his All-Star form, going 3-2 with a 4.85 ERA in his first six starts at Triple-A. Julio Teheran, one of the team's top prospects, got knocked around for six runs (four earned) in three innings during a start Monday night for Gwinnett.
Constanza was a surprising spark for the Braves in 2011, hitting .303 with seven stolen bases. But he failed to make the team in spring training and went to Gwinnett, where he was batting .288 with eight stolen bases.
Just a few days ago, Gonzalez indicated that he wanted to leave Martin Prado in left field, saying it wouldn't be fair to move him all over the field. But with the injuries and losses piling up, the manager had a change of heart.
Constanza took over in left and Prado moved to third base in place of Chipper Jones, who is on the disabled list. The Braves also were missing first baseman Freddie Freeman, who didn't start for the fourth game in a row because of vision problems. In addition, backup catcher David Ross was slowed by a strained right groin and reserve outfielder Matt Diaz was battling strep throat.

If Catherine Hardwicke had her way, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart might never have gotten together. For real!
While it's nearly impossible now to imagine R. Patt without his K. Stew - just watch this adorable video of Robsten cuddling and kissing! - the Twilight director tells Elle Magazine that she noticed chemistry right away between the potential co-stars... and feared its consequences.
"Rob and Kristen sat down at the table and did the biology scene," Hardwicke said of Pattinson's audition. "I felt the sparks. I could see the attraction. Kristen was very vocal - she knew she had the strongest connection with Rob. I said, 'Let me have a day to see if it translates to the screen.'"
We all know it did, of course. But Robert was 21 at the time and Kristen only 17, which led Hardwicke to warn her handsome leading man: 'She's underage, don't even think about it! It's a law in our country.'"
Fortunately, Pattinson and Stewart evaded the police until the latter turned 18 and have been happily dating ever since.
Tim Daly's "Private Practice" character, Pete, was arrested after the mercy killing of a patient.
"Private Practice" was fun while it lasted for Tim Daly. Daly, who has appeared as Pete Wilder on Shonda Rhimes' ABC "Grey's Anatomy" spinoff since its 2007 premiere, revealed Tuesday that his character will not return for season 6.

"Wonderful fans of PPP. Shonda informed my agent today that Pete wont be returning for season 6," the actor, 56, tweeted. "It was a great 5 yrs. R.I.P. Pete Wilder."
There is no word yet on if Daly's character -- who was last seen being released on bail after the mercy killing of a patient -- will return to wrap up his storyline.

Prior to "Private Practice's" sixth season renewal, Daly seemed at ease with leaving the medical drama.
"I feel like I've learned something about myself doing this, which is that being part of a large ensemble is not what I'm best suited to," he told TVGuide.com in January. "The people are lovely and I've had a wonderful time doing this show, but it's not where I feel most comfortable. If we do another season, I'll be happy to be here and I'll dig in and give it everything I've got. If not, then I will go off and go to New York and do some theater and find my way to whatever is next for me."?

ROME (AP) -Premier Mario Monti suggested Tuesday that Italian football should be suspended for two to three years after the latest match-fixing scandal rocked the national team and tarnished the image of the domestic game yet again just a week before the start of the European Championship.
Dawn raids on Monday resulted in 14 arrests - including Lazio captain Stefano Mauri - to bring the total number of suspects arrested in the match-fixing probe to about 50 since last year. Many more have been placed under investigation.
"Football should be stopped for two to three years," Monti said on Tuesday in a powerful message to Italy's football authorities on the need to clean up the game. "It is not a proposal by the government but a question I am asking as someone who was passionate when football was still football."
Monti made the comments while standing beside the prime minister of Poland, which is co-hosting Euro 2012 with Ukraine starting June 8.
"I'm not making a proposal, and even less is it a proposal that comes from the government, but it's a desire that sometimes I feel inside me: that it would really benefit the maturity of us Italian citizens if this game was completely suspended for two to three years," he said.
He also ruled out the use of public money to bail out football teams in difficulty.
Police swept through the Italian national squad's training camp near Florence on Monday as part of the operation and Italy defender Domenico Criscito was left out of the Euro 2012 squad after he was placed under investigation.
Antonio Conte, who coached Juventus to the Serie A title this term, was also officially notified that he is under investigation for alleged wrongdoing while in charge of Siena in 2010-2011.
Apart from those arrested Monday, three people have been placed under house arrest and two others are to present themselves to authorities. Five of the arrests were made in Hungary.
Numerous others have had their houses searched, including Chievo Verona striker Sergio Pellissier as well as Conte and Criscito.
The investigation was started by judicial authorities in Cremona last year. It has resulted in former Atalanta captain Cristiano Doni being banned from football for three and a half years, and the arrest of former Lazio captain Giuseppe Signori.
Serie A clubs Atalanta, Novara and Siena were among the 22 Italian teams notified at the beginning of this month that they are being investigated by sports authorities.
Prosecutors in Cremona have detailed an extensive match-fixing ring stretching as far as Singapore and South America that was allegedly in operation for more than 10 years.
Italy has only recently recovered from the 2006 match-fixing scandal - known as Calciopoli - that resulted in Juventus being relegated to Serie B for a season, plus points penalties for several other Serie A teams and lengthy bans for club and refereeing officials.
The Italian national team reacted in the best possible way, winning the World Cup later that year.

Monti wants Italian football halted for 2-3 years
ROME (AP) -Premier Mario Monti suggested Tuesday that Italian football should be suspended for two to three years after the latest match-fixing scandal rocked the national team and tarnished the image of the domestic game yet again just a week before the start of the European Championship.
The news that Iraq is buying American-made drones for?protecting its oil facilities was reported earlier this month by a few publications.
For some reason, it didn't really make much of a splash. But it's an important story.
The U.S. military presence in Iraq came to an end last December; American troops returned home, and equipment started to get shipped back.
Now, just five months after the war's end ? and only a month after the last vehicle from Iraq arrived stateside ? officials confirm that U.S. weapons systems will once again be operating in Iraq. American-made drones in particularly will be operated by the Iraqis to protect?high-value oil facilities:?
Army Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen ? who heads the Iraq branch of the U.S. Office of Security Cooperation ??told USA Today that the Iraqi government is taking the protection of its oil exports seriously.?His office manages U.S. military sales programs in the Iraq.
"They understand the importance of the mission to protect its oil platforms," he said.
Although the office wouldn't confirm the model or quantity of drones sold, a State Department official revealed to The Hill's Defense Blog that the contract calls for twelve of the U.S. Navy's Scan Eagle aerial drones.
Carlo Munoz points out that Iraq is joining a number of countries interested in using American drone technology to boost their own national security.?
We've written about the Boeing Scan Eagle before ? it was used extensively by U.S. Marines in Iraq, racking up roughly half a million combat hours as a?reconnaissance drone?since 2002. This time, however, the drone will be wielded by the Iraqis:
The Scan Eagles will be used to monitor oil platforms, known as offshore export terminals in the Persian Gulf, according to U.S. officials from the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq.
The terminals are used to move millions of barrels of Iraqi crude oil from the country's inland oilfields to commercial tanker ships in the Persian Gulf.
The new drones are expected to be operational by the end of this year.
Reuters reports Iraq has a brand-new offshore export terminal in the south ? the "heart of Iraq's production" ? which was unveiled earlier this year.?And it's an extremely valuable asset:
"[The oil platform] helped push exports to their highest level since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion at 2.317 million barrels per day in March."
"According to the energy police plans, we intend to use the drones by the end of this year," head of the energy protection force, Major General Hamid Ibrahim told Reuters. "We are in the process of training engineers."
USA Today also reports Iraq has previously bought "more than $15 billion?worth of U.S. military hardware, including 36?F-16?fighter planes,?M-1?tanks and armored personnel carriers." The Iraq government iterates the weapons are for defensive purpose. And with oil production like Iraq's, it's no wonder it has sought the help of the U.S. ? the manufacturers of some of the most advanced military technology.
But the two countries' cooperation also highlights an important part of this story:?it strengthens a very strategic post-war relationship.?
WAYLAND, Mass. (AP) ? "What we have to remember is that we can still do anything," Marina Keegan wrote to fellow Yale University graduates. "... We can't, we must not lose this sense of possibility because in the end, it's all we have."
Three days after the Yale alumna's death in a car crash, her parents, Tracy and Kevin Keegan, said from their Massachusetts home that it was comforting that even strangers were drawing inspiration from their daughter's words as her last newspaper column spread across the Internet.
"I would love my daughter's words, few as they may be, to be shared," Tracy Keegan said. "... That's all that's left of her now, her words."
Yale Daily News Editor Max de La Bruyere said Tuesday that the newspaper put Keegan's print column online as a tribute following her death Saturday on Cape Cod. He said it had gotten 400,000 hits on the newspaper's website after first spreading through Yale students' Facebook and Twitter accounts. The newspaper tracked readers as far away as Asia.
"It's a huge outpouring of sympathy," he said. "People are very moved by it."
The 22-year-old's column talked about anxiety that came with the feeling of losing the web of fellowship at Yale. She said what she wanted out of life was "the opposite of loneliness," and encouraged classmates by saying "the best years of our lives are not behind us."
"It's not quite love and it's not quite community," the English major wrote of her time at Yale. "It's just this feeling that there are people, an abundance of people, who are in this together."
The Keegans said their daughter's boyfriend, 22-year-old Michael Gocksch of Centerport, N.Y., fell asleep at the wheel while driving with her to their family's summer place in Wellfleet on Cape Cod.
The young couple had been to Brookline earlier in the day so their daughter could introduce her boyfriend and fellow 2012 graduate to her grandmother. The couple was heading to a birthday dinner for Keegan's father when she died. Gocksch was hospitalized in stable condition after the crash and later discharged.
Massachusetts State Police are still investigating the cause of the crash, which occurred on Route 6 in the town of Dennis. They said speed wasn't a factor and both were wearing seatbelts. The vehicle drifted off the road and into guardrails on both sides of the road before flipping.
Keegan's parents said she was about to start a job as an assistant to the general counsel at The New Yorker, where she interned last summer and got some of her work onto a magazine blog.
The New York Times also published a piece she wrote after another column she did for the Yale Daily News sparked a debate about why 25 percent of Yale graduates go into finance or consulting instead of pursuing employment more closely connected to their studies and aspirations.
Keegan had been the president of Yale College Democrats. She worked in New Hampshire in the summer of 2008 as one of the youngest paid staffers for the Obama presidential campaign, her parents said Tuesday while looking at a photo of their daughter with the president.
The Keegans spent graduation weekend with their daughter in New Haven, time they said they were grateful for as they prepare for her memorial Saturday at The First Parish in Wayland. They plan to spread her ashes in Cape Cod Bay.
Yale professor and literary critic Harold Bloom said Keegan had become like an adopted granddaughter to him after serving as his research assistant for the past two years. He taught her seminars in Shakespeare and American poetry and called her senior essay about the poet John Keats' influence on author F. Scott Fitzgerald's work "quite publishable."
In August, a musical that Keegan wrote will be staged in New York City as part of The New York International Fringe Festival, fellow 2012 Yale graduate and project collaborator Mark Sonnenblick said.
Called "Independents," the play is about a group of 20-somethings smuggling drugs on a Revolutionary War-era ship while posing as war re-enactors. When the posse's leader disappears, the friends try to become real re-enactors.
Sonnenblick, who wrote the show's lyrics, said the script is about transitioning to adulthood and maintaining community and relationships, themes that embodied much of Keegan's writing.
"These are things Marina didn't necessarily have answers for," Sonnenblick said. "She took on issues she was concerned about and happened to her and her friends."

Justin Bieber Photo: MTV News
Every young star has to go through certain rites of passage: your first starring role, landing a platinum debut album, first fake tabloid headline. On Saturday, Justin Bieber earned his stripes by allegedly getting into an altercation with a paparazzi photographer.
According to TMZ, Bieber is a suspect in a criminal battery investigation after he got into it with a photographer on Sunday at a mall in Calabasas, California, where the singer lives. The site reported that the unnamed photographer was attempting to snap a shot of Bieber when a physical altercation took place between them.
The photographer called 911 after the incident, but when the police arrived Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez had already left the scene. The camera man was transported to a local hospital by ambulance after complaining of pain in his upper torso and released a short time later.
He filed a police report naming Bieber,18, as the culprit and police are now investigating the incident as a misdemeanor battery case and are looking to speak to Bieber, Gomez and other witnesses. Police were told by witnesses that the photographer had been blocking Bieber's car as the "Boyfriend" singer was trying to leave the mall. After Bieber exited his car and asked the man to move, a scuffle broke out when he would not.
A spokesperson for Bieber had no comment.
TMZ also reported that several witnesses claimed that after the fight a lawyer approached the shooter and said he could get "a lot of money" out of the incident and advised the paparazzo to call for an ambulance and file a police report.

Putting the squeeze on those hardware specifications has lead to several more app casualties on Microsoft's ever-growing mobile platform. Unfortunately, it includes one of mobile gaming's biggest hitters: Angry Birds. We gave installation a go on our own Lumia 610 and were met with the unfortunate message seen above. According to WindowsPhoneApps Spanish, it's not the only one affected by the reduction in RAM on these lower-priced smartphones. PES 2012 won't run on the lower-specced smartphone, while videocall app Tango also joins its rival Skype on the no-go list.
Update: Nokia's confirmed that Rovio is, indeed, working on an optimized version of Angry Birds for the Lumia 610, though an exact release date is still up in the air.
CHICAGO (AP) - The Cubs skulked back into town with their tails between their legs and plenty to answer for.
Then Monday dawned hot and hazy and by mid-afternoon, the sun was shining, the cold beer was flowing, the wind was blowing out and a fleet of baseballs hitched a ride on the jetstream over the walls at Wrigley Field. By the time the accounting was done, the Cubs had half of the eight home runs and an 11-7 win over the equally hapless Padres.
Throw in a pre-game flight by the eagle Challenger and a seventh-inning rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" by actor Brian Dennehy - in town starring in the play, "The Iceman Cometh" - and it was entertaining enough to send fans out the door wondering where the party was relocating and exactly what they were so upset about in the first place.
Cubs manager Dale Sveum wasn't about to remind them.
"Let's not kid yourself. You lose 12 in a row, you finally win. It's a big relief," he said afterward
Just don't count on celebrating for long. Even in bad years, the Cubs usually don't swoon until June. This year they couldn't even make it to Memorial Day. At this rate, they could be mathematically eliminated by the Fourth of July.
The last six of the Cubs' dozen straight losses came during a seven-day road trip at NL Central rivals Houston and Pittsburgh, two of the only half-dozen or so teams Chicago actually has a chance against. It was like being told to bring back dinner and spending all night at the bar instead, then returning empty-handed and praying fans hadn't changed the locks on the gates at Wrigley Field.
"Patience is something a lot of fans don't have," Sveum had said Sunday in Pittsburgh.
Yet he marveled the way Cubs fans had stuck by his team thus far.
"We all understand -- I'm a huge football fan and I don't understand the Oakland Raiders losing every game. That's the way it is."
In Chicago, maybe.
Even so, Theo Epstein wasn't inclined to press his luck. His title with the Cubs is president of baseball operations, but Chicagoans think of Epstein as the boy genius-general manager who ended the Red Sox' decades-long World Series drought and was brought to town to repeat the trick here. Never mind that he preached patience upon his arrival last October and despite his best efforts, still has only two everyday ballplayers - Starlin Castro and David DeJesus - who could start for most clubs, a barely adequate rotation and a mess in the bullpen.
Even Epstein made it sound like he didn't sign on for this.
"I think we're clearly better than this ... on both fronts, short- and long-term, there's work to do," he said at a hastily arranged news conference.
Unfortunately, though beyond "start scrapping and keep grinding for pride," Epstein was short on specifics on how to improve things over the short term.
"Long term," he added, not much more optimistic, "it underscores the magnitude of the job here and sort of how far we need to go to get where we want to be."
At a century and still counting, Cub fans are either the dopiest of most patient bunch in sports. And over the course of all that losing, they've learned to savor the distractions that are often more interesting than anything the team has been able to cobble together on the field. That's why they happily blame black cats, real goats and imaginary scapegoats like Steve Bartman for the ballclub's unending run of futility.
Winning is great, but in these parts entertaining is still good enough.
Last week's brouhaha was over whether Joe Ricketts, the conservative patriarch of TD Ameritrade and the family that owns the Cubs, was really planning to finance a nasty political attack campaign against President Barack Obama - and whether that would make it harder for the Cubs to gain concessions to modify Wrigley Field from the city's staunchly Democratic mayor, Rahm Emanuel, and the city council.
The week before that, it was the nostalgia kicked up by the retirement of one-time pitching phenom Kerry Wood and an essay in The Wall Street Journal calling for the destruction of Wrigley Field, suggesting the aging shrine was actually the reason for all that losing:
"Destroy it. Annihilate it. Collapse it with the sort of charges that put the Sands Hotel out of its misery in Vegas. Implosion or explosion, get rid of it. That pile of quaintness has to go. ... When a house is haunted, you don't put in a new scoreboard, add ivy, get better food or bigger beers_you move!"
Sounding more like a fan than the Cubs left-fielder, Alfonso Soriano considered the option for the briefest of moments.
"Leave this place? No, never," he said after going 3 for 4 with a homer and three RBIs. "You saw how much it was jumping when we got it going. Let's see what can happen now. We just had some tough moments before."
Which is, give or take a few years, is how the Cubs still refer to the last century.

51.7% of teens in DC unemployed; 36.2% in California American Thinker ^ | 05/26/2012 | Rick Moran

Ah, the Obama economy. Sort of like the Carter economy but without that horrific toothy grin to entertain us.
But as a young man during the Carter years, I can attest to the fact that it was virtually impossible to find a decent job. Even McDonald's was hiring adults desperate for a paycheck to feed their families.
For teenagers in Washington, D.C. and California, finding a job just got a lot harder:
As summer break approaches and school seasons conclude, teens in California will have a more difficult time finding a job than their demographic counterparts in every other state, according to Census Bureau data released by the Employment Policies Institute.
With 36.2 percent of its teens unable to find employment, California leads all other states in teen unemployment - only the District of Columbia, with its 51.7 percent teen unemployment rate, surpasses the Golden State.
Overall, teen unemployment rose in 17 states and Washington, D.C., between April 2011 and April 2012, and fell in 32 states.
Nationally, the teen unemployment rate stands at 24.9 percent, and has averaged above 20 percent for over 40 months. The number of employed teens fell by 14,000 from March to April 2012.
"Although the jobs outlook has improved slightly for summer 2012, teens searching for summer employment are still faced with more competition and less opportunity than past generations," said Michael Saltsman, research fellow at the EPI, in a statement.
When the analysis is broadened to include discouraged teens that have stopped actively looking for work but would still like a job, nearly every state experiences a jump in their teen unemployment rates, according to EPI analysis.

They should look in Annapolis, MD....we have tons of restaurants and various others places needing people to work desperately. I think the kids could work in Annapolis even living in DC because it is only 30 minutes away.

I live in Arlington and watch the local Washington DC morning news continually. Almost every single day, there?s the reminder of punk kids robbing folks off the METRO or on the street. So far, no one has openly beaten the punks or retaliated in some fashion. Two weeks ago....some punk stole a I-Phone, and a crowd literally chased the kid down and waited for the cops to take over.
The problem is that the kids have given up on some opportunities in life....they don?t see much hope for a job unless it?s a pure-hand-out via their local city council guy.

Ah, the Obama economy. Sort of like the Carter economy but without that horrific toothy grin to entertain us.

I?ve never put much stock in these statistics involving ?un-employed teens? or, ?children living in poverty?. In many respects, these stories are usually used to smear a Republican administration. For the most part though, a teens major area of responsibility is SCHOOL. A summer job is fine, when it doesn?t burden the parents. Further, a ?Child living in poverty? probably doesn?t even know it...

These young men are part of the underground economy in some way: drugs, guns, illegal gambling, prostitution, or just good old fashioned under the table work. This is the last area of the free market economy in America, the only regulation is the police, and they are just an overhead expense.

Do teenagers want the jobs?
It seems to me more and more of the young FEEL they deserve things without having to work towards buying them.

The anecdotal evidence is that many jobs in places such as fast food, which years ago were filled by teens/young adults, are now being done by people who were not born in this country.
The anectodal evidence is also that jobs such as housekeeping or domestic help, which in years past were frequently held by black women, are now being done by people who were not born in this country.
Lots of places such as 7-11 have people working there who were not born in this country.
Have we imported a class of people to do lower level jobs, the jobs which at one time provided work to people with less education, or less motivation, or however you want to describe the status of people?

I wonder how much child labor laws are affecting the teen unemployment rate. When I was 14 I was working at Hardee?s every day after school 5pm till closing. I think that?s illegal now.

Stores in the local mall are advertising jobs. I suppose many of these are just for summer, but some may lead to permanent positions. But these young people don't want to work. They don't like the hours, they don't like the pay...whatever. I don't know. I always thought if you need a job, you go out and get it. I guess no one wants to do that anymore.

Those D.C. teens....I don?t understand it. You KNOW they got a quality education at Malcom X High School learning how people get arrested for saying disrespectful things about the president. Wait. That?s not just in D.C., is it.

Some say that people?s attitudes about work and certain jobs have changed. When is the last time you saw a black woman working as a maid? Years ago, many maids or domestic helpers were black women. Some say that today?s young people feel that certain jobs are beneath them. Any honest job should be something that people with limited or no education would be happy to have, but, it seems that nowadays, some people feel that they shouldn?t be expected to do certain lower level jobs.
The sad part is, that certain people wouldn?t have to be doing such jobs forever. There is still upward mobility in the work force, for those who choose to participate in the work force. But due to these modern times, a feeling that illegals should do these jobs, a feeling that these jobs don?t pay enough to enable them to live in the status to which they are accustomed, or whatever else, many young people eschew certain jobs, which past generations of young people were happy to do.

The reason is simple. Illegal aliens are doing the the jobs that are available to teens which teens refuse to do.

Kids mowing lawns???? That?s so 1950s thinking. Everybody knows that kids don?t mow lawns nowadays. We have imported foreign workers, legal or otherwise, to do work such as that nowadays.

Ah, the Obama economy. Sort of like the Carter economy but without that horrific toothy grin to entertain us.
But as a young man during the Carter years, I can attest to the fact that it was virtually impossible to find a decent job. Even McDonald's was hiring adults desperate for a paycheck to feed their families.
For teenagers in Washington, D.C. and California, finding a job just got a lot harder:
As summer break approaches and school seasons conclude, teens in California will have a more difficult time finding a job than their demographic counterparts in every other state, according to Census Bureau data released by the Employment Policies Institute.
With 36.2 percent of its teens unable to find employment, California leads all other states in teen unemployment - only the District of Columbia, with its 51.7 percent teen unemployment rate, surpasses the Golden State.
Overall, teen unemployment rose in 17 states and Washington, D.C., between April 2011 and April 2012, and fell in 32 states.
Nationally, the teen unemployment rate stands at 24.9 percent, and has averaged above 20 percent for over 40 months. The number of employed teens fell by 14,000 from March to April 2012.
"Although the jobs outlook has improved slightly for summer 2012, teens searching for summer employment are still faced with more competition and less opportunity than past generations," said Michael Saltsman, research fellow at the EPI, in a statement.
