WASHINGTON After a full year of fruitless job hunting, Natasha Baebler
just gave up.She'd already abandoned hope of getting work in her field,
working with the disabled. But she couldn't land anything else, either
not even a job interview at a telephone call center.Until she feels
confident enough to send out resumes again, she'll get by on food
stamps and disability checks from Social Security and live with her parents
in St. Louis."I'm not proud of it," says Baebler, who is in
her mid-30s and is blind. "The only way I'm able to sustain
any semblance of self-preservation is to rely on government programs that
I have no desire to be on."Baebler's frustrating experience has become all
too common nearly four years after the Great Recession ended: Many Americans
are still so discouraged that they've given up on the job market.Older
Americans have retired early. Younger ones have enrolled in school. Others
have suspended their job hunt until the employment landscape brightens.
Some, like Baebler, are collecting disability checks.It isn't supposed to
be this way. After a recession, an improving economy is supposed to
bring people back into the job market.Instead, the number of Americans in
the labor force those who have a job or are looking
for one fell by nearly half a million people from February
to March, the government said Friday. And the percentage of working-age
adults in the labor force what's called the participation rate

Pyongyang may be planning a missile launch
or another provocation around Wednesday, according to presidential spokeswoman
Kim Haing.During a meeting with other South Korean officials, the official,
Kim Jang-Soo, also said the notice to diplomats and other recent North
Korean actions are an attempt to stoke security concerns and to force
South Korea and the U.S. to offer a dialogue. Washington and Seoul
want North Korea to resume the six-party nuclear talks -- which also
include China, Russia and Japan -- that it abandoned in 2009.The roughly
two dozen countries with embassies in North Korea had not yet announced
whether they would evacuate their staffs.British Foreign Secretary William
Hague suggested that North Korea's comments about foreign diplomats are
"consistent" with a regime that is using the prospect of an external
threat to justify its militarization to its people."I haven't seen any immediate
need to respond to that by moving our diplomats out of there,"
he told the BBC on Saturday. "We will keep this under close
review with our allies, but we shouldn't respond and play to that
rhetoric and that presentation of an external threat every time they come
out with it."Germany said its embassy in Pyongyang would stay open for
at least the time being."The situation there is tense but calm," a
German Foreign Office official, who declined to be named in line with
department policy, said in an email. "The security and danger of the

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">PROVIDENCE, R.I. Rhode Island's tallest building will soon be its most
visible symbol of the state's long economic decline.The 26-story Art Deco-style
building is losing its sole tenant this month. No one is moving
in.The building is the most distinctive feature on the Providence skyline,
and it will no longer be fully illuminated at night, if at
all.It's a blow for the state, which had 9.4 percent unemployment in
February and has had one of the worst jobless rates in the
nation for years.One real estate expert at Harvard Business School says
the Superman building will become "the ultimate urban pothole."
e Employees International Union, which has made more than $368,000
in independent expenditures to help elect him. The money went to cover
gas, staff salaries and canvassing services.The group making the biggest
push on behalf of Lynch is the International Association of Firefighters,
which has reported spending more than $85,300, including money for gas,
tolls, rally signs, car rentals and travel expenses.Lynch worked as an ironworker
for 18 years and, along with Markey, has appealed to unions for
their support.None of the independent expenditures reported to the FEC by
the end of the week were made to either support or oppose
the three Republican U.S. Senate candidates -- former U.S. Attorney Michael
Sullivan, Norfolk state Rep. Daniel Winslow and Cohasset businessman Gabriel
Gomez.League spokesman Jeff Gohringer told FoxNews.com Saturday all of the
money has been spent in support of Markey.The Tea Party-aligned Conservative
Campaign Committee, however, has said it plans to spend up to $200,000
on radio and television ads to support Sullivan and target Winslow and
Gomez.Winslow and Gomez have called on Sullivan to renounce the ads by
the group, which they say holds extreme anti-gay positions.The Republican
candidates have not agreed to the People's Pledge and argue Lynch and
Markey began their campaigns with a stockpiles of money.The independent
expenditures by outside groups give no indication how much each candidate
has raised in don
