There were 103,000 jobs created in September, yet unemployment remained at 9.1 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Tiffany Carter believes she picked a safe career path. The CCBC Essex student is studying to be a nurse. The trouble, Carter believes, won’t be keeping a job but just trying to land one out of college. “I know nursing is a great field, but everything I’m hearing is that it’s harder and harder to get your foot in the door as a new grad,” said Carter, 19, of Essex. Whether job-seekers are recent college graduates, experienced professionals or people exploring new career options, finding work in America continues to be difficult. The unemployment level held steady at 9.1 percent as the U.S. economy added 103,000 jobs in September, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The growth exceeded expectations from …

Students from across the state participated in the Johns Hopkins University's Engineering Innovations program which had them test the strength of bridges built only from half a pound of spaghetti noodles and glue.
Get instant updates on Essex-Middle River news—like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. Students in the Johns Hopkins University Engineering Innovation program put their noodles to the test at Eastern Technical High School Friday, July 29, but not in the way one might think. Each group of students in the four-week program, which covered all manner of things engineering, used only half a pound of dry spaghetti noodles and glue to create a bridge "to support as much weight as possible without collapsing. The competition [held Friday] to test the bridges’ strength represents the culminating activity of the program," according to a news release. "Eastern Tech volunteered to host this year," said Michael Karweit, academic director of the …

Annual DRC event celebrates Milestone Award Winners and 10 Years of Revitalization.
In 1971, Dr. J. Crossan O’Donovan came to Dundalk, encouraged by Dundalk resident Dr. Ted Patterson, to set up a pediatric practice. Forty years later, the O’Donovan-founded Dundalk Pediatric Associates remains a team of doctors, nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants, and staff still serving Dundalk’s children and families, many of them the children or grandchildren of his first patients. Saturday evening, O’Donovan, along with Karen Cruz, president of the Eastfield Stanbrook Civic Association for the last 11 years, and Shirley Gregory, a St. Helena community activist who launched the St. Helena Red Rocket Review, will be honored by the Dundalk Renaissance Corporation as the organization’s 2011 Milestone Award winners.

A book based on the "immortal life" of a Turner Station native has been named a finalist for numerous national book prizes. As part of Black History month, Patch.com recalls her story.
The history of medicine echoes with the familiar names of people who made important contributions to the field: Louis Pasteur, Alexander Fleming, Marie Curie, Jonas Salk. None made a contribution to medicine as far-reaching or personal as Turner Station's own Henrietta Lacks. Until this year, few people even knew who she was. On a blisteringly hot summer day earlier this year, a small group of people gathered in Turner Station to remember Henrietta and unveil plans for a historic marker in front of the former Lacks home at 513 New Pittsburg Road. Her story was told in The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, published last February by Crown Books. Recently, the work was selected as a finalist for the 2010 Wellcome Trust Book…
