CAIRO (AP) ? Thousands of people took to the streets in cities across Egypt on Friday to demand that Ahmed Shafiq, a former senior official in Hosni Mubarak's ousted regime, be disqualified from next month's presidential runoff.

Shafiq, who served as Mubarak's last prime minister, was one of the top two finishers in the first round of Egypt's landmark presidential election last month, advancing to a June 16-17 runoff against Mohammed Morsi, the candidate of the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood.

The Morsi-Shafiq runoff is a polarizing contest. It mirrors the conflict between Mubarak, himself a career air force officer like Shafiq, and the Islamists he jailed and tortured throughout his years in power. But it sidelines the mostly young, secular activists who led the popular uprising last year.

In the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, at least 7,000 protesters, some of them carrying Egyptian flags or holding their shoes aloft in the air in a sign of disrespect, said that Shafiq should not be able to run because of his senior position in the Mubarak regime.

Smaller rallies demanding Shafiq's disqualification also took place in Cairo, Port Said, Suez, North Sinai as well as other provinces.

Shafiq has cast himself as a strongman who will restore law and order after nearly 16 months of sporadic but violent protests and a lapse in security. Shortly after the first round results were announced this week, Shafiq's campaign headquarters in Cairo was torched.

Opponents view Shafiq as the favorite of the ruling military council that took over after Mubarak's ouster. Egypt's four presidents all hailed from the military.

Mubarak himself has been charged with complicity in the killing of nearly 900 protesters during the 18-day uprising that pushed him from power. A court is to hand down its verdict on Saturday.

Many Egyptians say they want neither Shafiq, considered "feloul," or a remnant of the Mubarak era, nor the Brotherhood's candidate, Morsi, as their next president, and protesters criticized both candidates Friday.

"I am here and I don't want Shafiq or Morsi because Shafiq spilled our children's blood. I paid the price of this revolution upfront," said Magda, the mother of a protester killed during last year's uprising. "As for the Brotherhood, they sat in parliament and what have they done?"

Some of the protesters Friday chanted slogans against both candidates as well as the ruling military council that took power after Mubarak was toppled, and some in the crowd said they will boycott the runoff.

"I don't want either candidate because we didn't benefit from either and the country didn't benefit from either," Cairo protester Ahmed Abdel-Fattah said.

Activists are pressing for the implementation of a law passed by the recently elected parliament, which bars former top regime officials from the past 10 years from running for office.

Shafiq was briefly disqualified from the race ahead of last month's vote after parliament passed the law, but he was reinstated 24 hours later after the presidential election commission referred the law to the Constitutional Court. The court is set to rule on the issue just four days ahead of the runoff.

The rallies come as drivers waited in long lines at gas stations across much of the country for the second day in a row. The stream of cars lined up outside Cairo gas stations has compounded the problem of the city's daily traffic jams.

The government vowed to resolve the crisis by Saturday, blaming the shortage on electrical shortages at a main fuel supplier.

Lines also formed at gas stations in January just days before the one-year anniversary of the revolt. The gas crisis then blew over as quickly as it started. It is not clear what sparked that crisis, but many activists claimed it was a plot by military rulers to make people long for the days when Mubarak was in power.

May's Jobs Report Disappoints Across the Board ... - Yahoo! Finance

Follow The Daily Ticker on Facebook!

Well, this is a bad employment report ? across the board. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the economy created just 69,000 jobs in May -- the fewest in a year -- and the unemployment rate crept up to 8.2 percent.

As is always the case in an election year, voters have their eyes firm on the trend of that headline unemployment number. In the accompanying video, my Daily Ticker colleagues Aaron Task and Henry Blodget talk to Politico's Morning Money columnist and Wall Street reporter Ben White about the political implications of this grim payroll number.

After a decent start to the year, President Obama "cannot make the case clearly, at least at this point, that the economy is recovering strongly under his leadership and it opens the door wide for Mitt Romney to say, 'I've got a set of policies that could create faster job creation,'" says White who thinks it is going to be a "razor tight" election. "If [the unemployment number] stays where we are now, sort of bouncing around 100,000 or if we go back above, I think it is still a 50-50 race."

In a recent column, White does however note that the economies in most of the swing states are performing better than the national average (with the exception of Florida). But May's rise in the unemployment rate to 8.2% muddles this story and won't help Obama come election day, he says.

Without further ado, here are a few takeaways from the May report:

Spring Slowdown. Once again, the jobs figures testify to a slowing of growth in the spring. But the gloomy data extend beyond the headline payroll jobs figure. The economy is growing and demand continues to rise. But that's not translating into more work or significantly higher wages. The average workweek for private sector sectors fell in May by .1 hours ? i.e., six minutes. Manufacturing, which has been a pocket of strength, showed signs of weakness. The manufacturing workweek fell .3 hours to 40.5, and factory overtime fell sharply. Hourly earnings crept up a smidgen in May, and over the past year have risen just 1.7 percent.

Labor Force Rises. There's an odd wrinkle here. The unemployment rate is derived from the household survey, in which BLS calls people and asks them about their employment status. The rate is calculated by dividing the number of people estimated to be unemployed into the size of the labor force. When the labor force shrinks, the unemployment rate can fall even if the number of people who say they're working doesn't rise. But that's not what happened this month. In May, according to the BLS, the labor force actually grew by 635,000 ? which means a lot of people who had been sitting on the sidelines jumped back in. The number of people employed, according to the Household survey, rose by 422,000 in the month.

The Conservative Recovery Continues. Europe isn't the only area where austerity and reduced government spending are impacting employment. Virtually every month for the past few years, the private sector has added jobs while the public sector (local, state and federal government) has cut jobs. That continued in May. The private sector added 82,000 payroll jobs in May while government cut 13,000 positions. Since February 2010, the private sector has added 4.27 million jobs, while the public sector has cut 1.028 million jobs since May 2010.

The Trend Isn't Your Friend. There was another way in which the May report reversed recent trends. Every month, when it reports the figures, BLS goes back and revises the figures it had reported for the prior two months. For much of this recovery, the trend has been for BLS to discover jobs that hadn't been originally reported and revise the prior months' totals higher. But not this month. In May, BLS revised the gains for the two previous months lower. March's figure, originally reported as a 120,000 gain, had been revised upward to 154,000 in April, was revised back down to 143,000. The April figure, originally reported as a gain of 115,000, was revised to a gain of only 77,000.

Labor Market Frustration Rising. Despite the general trend of more job openings and declining first-time unemployment claims, this report shows that the jobs market softened in May. In addition to reporting the headline unemployment rate, BLS publishes alternative measures of labor force frustration ? e.g., rates that include workers who have given up, or who are working part-time but would prefer to work full-time. BLS compiles all such measures in the U-6. After falling for much of the past year, it rose in May ? to 14.8 percent.

Exploring Straightforward Programs Of Business Outsourcing ...

Outsourcing is similar to hiring a staff. A business person recognizes the importance of leveraging other people?s time and skills to their advantage. To some, outsourcing is an uncommon name for something that they know all to well. There are very few things that can grow your business faster than outsourcing your work out to people. If your marketing is already producing results then you can have far greater results by hiring workers. The most successful marketers understand this concept very well. Outsourcing is simple but it looks simpler than what it really is. Patience is required with outsourcing because you will not see instant results. Keep reading to discover proven outsourcing methods.

The first thing you can easily outsource is the product creation part. That?s right; you can have your product created by a professional, while you sit back and relax. If there?s a business task that needs to be done, you can find someone who will be happy to get paid to do it. This is extremely common in IM, in fact none of your customers will ever have the slightest clue you didn?t write that great new ebook. No one knows, and if it?s good people will love and send in their testimonials. Even posts to your blog or your newsletter can be hired out. If you choose this route, you just need to be sure you have a good writer on your staff. An important tip to keep in mind when outsourcing your tasks is that you need to offer the worker a test project first to see his/her caliber. This is before you assign the complete project to the worker. This is an effective way to gauge the quality of their work and other factors. For example, if you have to get 20 articles written every month, you can give this writer 5-10 articles first to test the waters and see he/she is good enough to hire for the job. The best approach is to gradually scale-up the level of responsibility, and you?ll be able to filter out anyone or keep them because you know they?ll do well for you. You?ll be able to retain those who do well for you, or keep them on file so you can hire them for future projects. Look at considering Bodybuilding.com Coupons for in-depth advice.

One of the important tasks that you can outsource for your Internet marketing business is customer service. All the customer service needs and responsibilities are very time consuming, to say the least. If you?re established, this can save you a huge amount of time and aggravation. Whatever you do, be very sure you pick someone who will do a great job and never mess up in this important area of your business. That is why so many marketers outsource as much as possible, it gives them time and choices.

Qualities of a Good Roofing Contractor

When you are about to call a roofing contractor for your roof repair or replacement work, you must take time to research and find out about good roofing contractors in the vicinity. Read on to find out about what qualities you must look for in a roofing contractor before you hire him for the job.

Reputation

Always make it a point to check the credentials of the roofing contractor you are going to hire. As soon as you think you want to get a quote from a particular roofing contractor, research a bit about the company or the professional. There are a lot of customer reviews and testimonials that will give you a fair idea of what to expect from the contractor. Most roofing contractors have their own websites wherein they describe their work and how they have fared so far. But a little research on your own will help you understand if the contractor is really worth hiring. You can also talk to your neighbors and people you know to recommend a good roofing contractor for your home.

Experience

When it comes to home insurance and roofing repairs, it is important to hire a contractor who is experienced in carrying out repair work of all types for bringing back your roof in good condition again. When you talk to the roofing contractor, he should be able to tell you in a single inspection regarding the work and cost estimates. A roofing contractor who leaves out minor or major details in roofing work can actually make you spend more over a longer period of time and also give you a roof that may not be all that secure. New roofing contractors may also not give you complete quotes about roofing work and this could make you seek other contractors for remaining work. This should be avoided.

Expertise

Roofing repairs may become necessary if the house is being renovated, is under construction or has just been through a hailstorm. The roofing contractor you call for inspection must be able to identify the problem areas quickly and suggest repairs and be able to give you quality work within a relatively short span of time. An expert roofing contractor will be a thorough professional who will waste no time in giving you the right estimates. When you search for a roofing contractor, make sure you find out about how long they have been in business.

Communication

Communication is the key to good service. If the roofing work requires the roofing contractor to send more than one staff to handle your work or if you think the work will take more than a couple of days, a good professional contractor would make sure he communicates promptly with you. He should keep you informed about the work, make sure the staff is efficient, caring, and professional and have high work ethics. Most importantly, the roofing contractor must never delay any work for unnecessary reasons and if the need arises should communicate it to you promptly.

Be An ?Employer of Choice? With Employee Benefits Management ...

As employment picks up, it is typical for competition among hiring organizations to increase success with on-boarding employees. At the same time, it is characteristic of job seekers and those who have been waiting to advance their careers to search out and apply for work at ?employers of choice?. Competition can be keen, and pursuit of such employers, distinguished by their pay practices and philosophy, can make or break employer prospects. Professional employer organizations (PEOs) build ?Employers of Choice? via employee benefits management services.

?In tight economic times, employers are reticent to increase pay to attract, retain and motivate employees. Yet some course of action must be taken,? says Raymond A. Parker, SPHR, Senior Vice President ? Human Resource Consulting at SOI, a leader among PEOs. ?A balance needs to be struck between available hard cost cash and the immediate soft costs of not being able to hire the best and most qualified candidates for jobs. Balance needs to be employed to keep personnel motivated, especially when they have been tasked with more work during lean times.?

Employers have long realized that ?total compensation? comprises both pay and benefits. Benefits include both health benefits (mental, vision, dental, general health) and social benefits (time off, education benefits, variable scheduling, etc.). Employment cost may be a barrier and healthcare costs continue to rise. Social benefits continue to be implemented cost effectively and creatively and attract, retain and motivate employees. Applying advanced knowledge, skill and ability in human resource management, PEOs are able to assist employers to:

• Enhance their pay/benefits balance to employees
• Furnish competitive programs and rates usually not available to smaller employers
• Bring a Fortune 500 level of rewarding employees which, can be passed to employees in the form of non-hard cost benefits

PEOs work with employers to:

• Evaluate market competitiveness of pay programs
• Analyze the appropriateness of healthcare benefits
• Dollarize the value of benefits for employees
• Communicate the value in working with the employer
• Improve work effectiveness through enhanced communications
• Ensure legal and regulatory compliance
• Train employees and management on interpersonal dynamics
• Facilitate career development programs
• Share best business and HR practices
• Offer business insight gleaned from hands-on work in various industries, business structures, organization sizes, etc.

Effectively tapping into extensive, professional and available HR expertise and applying it in creative, cost effective ways, is the ticket to becoming an employer of choice. PEOs offer these tickets to success, even in the most rigorous economic times.

SOI can offer your business employee benefits management and help you be an ?Employer of Choice?. Contact us today for a free comparison quote.

About SOI

SOI is a leading professional employer organization (PEO) for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) serving as a trusted partner in integrated human resource (HR) compliance, risk management, employee benefits, employment practices liability insurance (EPLI), and payroll processing.
