Is anyone else losing track of what year this is?

The calendar says 2012.

Every time I pick up the newspaper and read about the controversy over contraceptives, I swear we're in a time warp.

Why is birth control up for grabs? Didn't we settle that issue decades ago?

The controversy over abortion I can understand. We will always have people who oppose abortion. They believe it is the taking of a human life and will continue to fight for making abortion illegal.

But arguing against health care coverage for birth control?

Wouldn't those same people want as much birth control available as possible to prevent abortions?

Last month the New York Times carried this front- page story: "More than half of births to American women under 30 occur outside marriage. . . . Nearly two-thirds of children in the United States are born to mothers under 30."

And we're appalled by a 30-year-old law student who doesn't want to get pregnant?

I've always taken the position on abortion that I believe the silent majority takes: We want to honor both the unborn and the mother. We want the anti-abortion people and the abortion-rights people to work to make abortions unnecessary. Get rid of abortion by making it obsolete. Having the best access to the best birth control is a good start.

Are you on Facebook? Keeping up with who all is getting married or having a baby? Perhaps looking pictures of a friend's grandkids? Then some wiseacre tells you that Facebook is a good way to find a job?

Can one still have fun and be an effective job seeker using Facebook? Allison Doyle of About.com has doubts. She said, "I used to think that job seekers could still have some fun on Facebook if they were careful about their privacy setting. Now I'm starting to think that unless you are super careful and set your privacy settings so your profile is almost in jail, it can be an issue when you're job seeking." One Facebook user told me, "Trying to job hunt on Facebook will either ruin my fun or lose jobs." Anthony, a dislocated technical support person, said about Facebook job hunting, "No way am I doing that -- too many dangers."

However, it is just as wrong to ignore social media in job seeking. More than half of employers now use Facebook to find employees, and 95 percent use LinkedIn. Twitter is used by 42 percent. A local county park director hired a new secretary who applied using Twitter.

"No one applied the old fashioned way by dropping off a r?sum?," he said.

Here are some tips when using Facebook:

Check your online persona. What picture will a prospective employer get of you online? Google your name using quotation marks. Some are surprised at what they find on line about themselves. What employers learn about you online can be a job killer. If you are using Facebook for fun and job hunting, present yourself as being rather square or PG.

Think of your Facebook profile as your brand. Make sure that information you want to keep private is not out there for the whole world.

Facebook job hunting is really networking. Don't think of it as something that new. It's the same networking that I taught in job search classes for 37 years. Facebook makes it easier to find jobs through the help of friends.

Have fun. Job hunt on Facebook, but be careful.

Chicago - For constituents familiar with the brash way he governed Illinois, it comes as no surprise that Rod Blagojevich wants to make one last statement to the public before he leaves his family and reports this week to serve 14 years in prison.

The former governor's lawyers say he wants to go out with dignity. But that may be difficult in front of the television cameras he so adored as a politician that likely will illuminate his every step from his bungalow in Chicago's Northwest Side to the gate of the Colorado prison he requested.

Who will stand with him when he speaks to the media Wednesday as promised? Will he offer contrition, as he did before his sentencing judge? Or will he again profess his innocence, as he did through his two trials and as his wife Patti did for him in a televised interview in recent days?

Will he make one last stop before reporting for prison Thursday at a favorite haunt, just as his predecessor, George Ryan, stopped at a pancake house for coffee on his way to prison in 2007?

"These last few days - they are the hardest of all," said Jim Laski, a former Chicago city clerk who was sentenced to two years in prison for corruption in 2006. "You feel helpless. You think about prison 24/7. You can't sleep."

Since his December sentencing on 18 counts that included trying to sell President Barack Obama's former U.S. Senate seat, Blagojevich hasn't granted interviews and his attorneys say he wants to avoid a media frenzy. But the man soon to be identified as federal prisoner No. 40892-424 plans to step outside his home Wednesday to address the media. His publicist said he never planned to slip away undetected.

Spokesman Glenn Selig offered few hints about what Blagojevich could say, explaining only that, "He has truly enjoyed being out in public. He never considered `sneaking' out of Chicago and miss an opportunity to say goodbye."

Blagojevich, a 55-year-old father of two daughters, used his rhetorical skills to help win one term as a congressman and two as Illinois governor. After his arrest in 2008, the Democrat turned to those same skills to persistently declare his innocence on the national talk-show circuit, but in the end they couldn't help him persuade a jury when he took the witness stand during his retrial.

The former governor could tear a page from a well-worn book on how former Illinois governors spent their last days before prison. Four of the state's last nine governors served time after convictions.

Ryan, Blagojevich's Republican predecessor, made a public statement in 2007, also one day before he was due to begin serving a 6 1/2-year sentence after being convicted on corruption charges that he always denied.
