Today's BLS Unemployment Report Confirms We're Not There Yet Unemployment dips to 7.4%, but job creation has slowed

For Immediate Release

Today's BLS Unemployment Report Confirms We're Not There Yet
Unemployment dips to 7.4%, but job creation has slowed

(Washington, D.C.) - Today's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report indicating a slight decrease in unemployment, 7.4% from 7.6% in June and 8.1 percent a year ago- mirrors the latest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and national poverty results that show lackluster economic growth and a staggering national poverty- 46.2 million Americans nationwide living in poverty and unemployment amongst Hispanic-Americans showed large increases, now standing at 2 points above the national rate.  Americans are losing sight of the American Dream due in part to lingering unemployment. LIBRE calls for less talk and more action from Washington with real bipartisan policies that unleash private sector growth.
Daniel Garza, Executive Director of The LIBRE Initiative released the following statement:
"Today's report comes as the President continues to make his rounds of "campaign-style" speeches across the country with the same old promises and failed ideas that got us here in the first place - big government, more taxes, more spending, and short-sighted plans that lack long-term job creation, and make it harder for people to get jobs and get out of poverty. Indeed, the most troubling aspect of this weak report is that the Hispanic unemployment rate jumped to 9.4%, up from 9.1% last month.  Hispanic youth unemployment is up more than 1 percentage point - to 30.9%, with 446,000 Hispanic youth searching for jobs. To have millions out of work and 15% of our population living in poverty is an American tragedy that can only  be resolved with pro-business policies that unleash the hard work and creativity of America's entrepreneurs and job creators - the real engines of economic growth. Those are policies that Republicans and Democrats should work to put in place to get America working again and believing once more in the American Dream."
For interviews with a LIBRE representative, please contact: Judy Pino, 202-578-6424 or Brian Faughnan, 571-257-3309.

The LIBRE Initiative is a non-partisan, non-profit, national grassroots organization dedicated to informing the US Hispanic community about the benefits of a constitutionally limited government, property rights, rule of law, sound money supply and free enterprise through a variety of community events, research and policy initiatives. Latinos have been disproportionately hurt by the economic downturn suffering from higher levels of unemployment and poverty. Our aim is to equip the Hispanic community with the tools they need to be prosperous. Connect with us on Facebook at The LIBRE Initiative and @LIBREInitiative on Twitter.

FLORIDA POCKET RANGER APP ADDS BEACH ACCESS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 31, 2013



FLORIDA POCKET RANGER APP ADDS BEACH ACCESS 

~Update adds more than 2,000 beaches in addition to 171 parks and trails~


TALLAHASSEE – The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Florida Park Service has updated its Pocket Ranger app for smartphones to include every public beach access point in Florida, in addition to information about its 171 state parks, and trails.
Those who have downloaded Pocket Ranger for state park information now have access to locations and amenities about every public beach access point in Florida. More than 2,000 public coastal access sites are included in the coastal section. Divided into three regions – panhandle, Atlantic coast and southwest Florida coast – the app provides useful information to help plan trips to the beach.
"More than 70,000 people have downloaded the Florida Pocket Ranger mobile app for their I-phone or Android phones," said Florida Park Service Director Donald Forgione, "We are pleased to offer them additional information about beaches where they may enjoy Florida's famous sunshine and natural resources."
The app provides a comprehensive list of beach access points in each county, and the amenities each access point offers, including boardwalks, parking spaces, restrooms, picnic pavilions and boat ramps. Each section features an overview of each of the region’s coastal counties and includes a list of state parks, coastal cities, rivers, paddling trails and other points of interest.
One of DEP Secretary Herschel T. Vinyard Jr.'s priorities for the Department is increasing access to state parks and trails for Floridians and visitors. The app allows visitors to plan that perfect outdoor trip by searching for a park or beach by GPS location or activity to find nearby locations to enjoy hiking, camping, boating, birding and more. Once there, advanced GPS and GIS mapping technology allows visitors to track and record trails, mark waypoints and locate friends in the area. There is even an option to cache GPS maps in advance to ensure that navigation remains possible in the event of lost mobile reception.
The app also translates Florida’s beach flag colors and provides a “Good to Know” button that links to NOAA’s surf zone forecast and rip current info and the Department’s hurricane info page. The app also links to a weather site. All good things to know if you’re headed to the beach. The app also provides information on the Department’s coastal management program and NOAA’s marine debris program.
The apps provide plenty of other features to maximize visitors’ outdoor adventure:
-          Educational information, amenities, maps & directions.
-          Real-time calendar of events.
-          News, advisories, and weather alerts.
-          Social networking and photo sharing.
-          Potentially life-saving alert feature.
-          Advanced GPS mapping features.
-          Recall, post or share saved data.
-          Friend Finder.
-          Built-in compass.
The Florida State Parks Pocket Ranger® app is available now on iTunes and Android Market by searching “Official Florida State Parks” and is identified under ParksByNature Network. It is also available on PocketRanger.com and is formatted as a Mobile Website: http://fl.pocketranger.com.
The Florida Park Service partnered with ParksByNature Network™ and PocketRanger.com to create this app free for the public. For a tutorial on how to use the app, please visit www.pocketranger.com. It is recommended to use Wi-Fi or a strong wireless connection when downloading the app.
