Apple considering 2 options for its cash pile
Investors are increasing pressure on the company to return more to shareholders.
On Tuesday, Appleinsider reported that Apple (AAPL) will initiate a share buyback program or increase its dividend in order to silence the legion of critics -- including David Einhorn -- who believe Apple should return some of its $137 billion in cash to its shareholders.
Apple is reportedly exploring options, but a stock buyback or increased dividend are at the top of the list. David Einhorn's plan has received consideration too. Dubbed the "iPref" plan, Einhorn's idea includes issuing perpetual preferred stock. Einhorn took Apple to court to block the company from bundling four separate issues into one proposal. Einhorn won the case.
Apple CEO Tim Cook called the suit a "silly sideshow," but sources said that Apple found the preferred stock idea interesting.
With the stock down more than 35% from its high and long-term investors wondering what happened, Apple is under increasing pressure to do something to return value to shareholders.
Whether that is through a stock buyback in order to put a floor under the stock -- a $30 cash dividend according to a rumor that made its way around Wall Street last week (see Benzinga) -- or the issuance of preferred shares, it's becoming increasingly clear that Apple knows it has to do something.
Bloomberg recently reported that Apple would announce its plans for its cash by April. According to the story, Howard Ward, chief investment officer at Gamco Investors Inc. said, "We're going to get an announcement from the company as to how they intend to reallocate some of their cash. They will put a floor under their stock at a higher price than it is today."
But two investing titans don't necessarily believe that Apple has an obligation to bow to shareholder pressure.
In a CNBC interview, former GE (GE) CEO Jack Welch said, "They'd come after us, 'What are you going to do with all that cash?' Well, we're going to do a smart thing! Trust us!" Welch later added, "Apple deserves, after all they've done, a chance to deliver on all their promises."
Warren Buffett, who is known for keeping a sizable cash position for Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) had this advice for Tim Cook regarding David Einhorn: "I would ignore him. I would run the business in such a manner as to create the most value over the next five or ten years. You can't run a business to try and run the stock up every day." (See Benzinga.)
Apple was up 0.7% in morning trade.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
The bullying on the buses are out of control; the admin. does nothing, and does not alert the parents.
Tesago is an excellent school. Kids enjoy theire time in Tesago everyday. We are proud on Tesago.
My two children moved to this school a year ago. This schol teachers have done a great job to have my children settle their heart in this new environment. This school is beyond my expectation
Teachers are gifted with the love of children.
I am happy to say the school has an excellent new principal, Mr. Pace, and we are on the road to great things. I am a teacher myself and think the teachers are doing an great job at educating our kids.
Both my children have attended Tesago. My oldest is now in Middle School and my youngest is still attending. I have never had a problem with the teachers or staff. My youngest required special services with aids and extra help and has really progressed tremendously in the past few years. I believe the school is what you make of it. They have added several after school activities along with setting in place late buses to take the children home or to their day care providers. I have been involved with Tesago for over 7 yrs and I don't have any complaints.
My biggest problem is that there seems to be no consistancy among the elementary schools in the district. My nieces schools (chango and arongen) have way more extracurricular activities for the students. Tesago seems to throw a few 'required' things together for appearences but there seems to be little school spirit. The teachers seem to have free reign with the curriculum (again lack of consistancy). I'm impressed with the computer facilites but the library appears to have the same books i would have found 20 years ago. In general i find the academic programs satisfactory but am moving my son out of the district for two reasons: 1. Way too much emphasis on test scores 2. Complete lack of empathy for working parents (scheduling activities during the middle of the day frequently)
The quality of the school I believe is overated. Being how large this school district is, it is hard to enroll a child in sports and unless you have wealth and power, your child is left out.
My kids did well here. My personal thoughts are that some of the teachers are too old, they lack enthusiasm in the classroom and are simply awaiting retirement. Quarters are more cramped than I would have liked to see but I understand the overcrowding issues faced in Saratoga county.

For a time, Gwendolyn Oxenham, who had been an accomplished soccer player at Duke University, thought she might have a future in the game as a professional. When that didn't work out, she decided to make herself a writer. The proof that she was successful is "Finding the Game,'' an engrossing account of what she and three companions discovered when they traveled the world looking for pick-up soccer games.
Though Oxenham characterizes herself and her fellow explorers as "naïve idiots," it is their innocence that leads them to believe not only that they will find amateur players happy to kick a ball around with American strangers in unlikely places but that they will attract folks who'll fund their adventure as it bumps along from continent to continent.

Well, congratulations. Another election is in the bag. Too bad this means diddly squat.
Every four years we convince ourselves that we are these powerful beings who can control the future of this nation by filling in a few bubbles. What we need to realize is that there is a lot more that has to change than the next picture in the presidential timeline. We need to reform the entire voting system if we really want to see this country and our opinions go anywhere.
Having the ability to cast a ballot or push some buttons on an electronic voting machine doesn't give us the power we think it does.
The bigger issue is the Electoral College, which is the system that decides our president. Instead of just taking each individual vote into account and tallying everything nationwide, our votes are reduced to the number of representatives and senators we have. Based on that number, each state is given a certain number of electors. Colorado, for instance, has nine electoral votes (for our two senators and seven representatives) and these nine electors represent the views of close to 3 million registered Colorado voters.
I can't say I'm fan of math, but wouldn't it just make more sense to take all of our votes into account individually? The Electoral College is written in Article II, Section I of our Constitution. But to be fair to every voter in this nation, this should be reformed and made simpler. Yes it's our Constitution, but our Constitution can be changed if we as a nation decide it is necessary.
Of course, the Electoral College determines the winner between the two candidates the masses are aware of on the presidential ballot. I say aware of because there are far more choices than the Republican and Democratic candidates. But thanks to the influence of corporations and Super PACs, these two parties are given a ridiculous amount of support for campaigns and advertising in the months leading up to Election Day.
Opensecrets.org does a phenomenal job of not only describing Super PACs (PACs are political action committees), but also showing which organizations and PACs donated what funds to what parties.
As their website says, "Super PACs may raise unlimited sums of money from corporations, unions, associations and individuals, then spend unlimited sums to overtly advocate for or against political candidates."
The site also adds that, "Super PACs are prohibited from donating money directly to political candidates."
So all the political ads we've been avoiding and resenting for the last few months can mainly be blamed on these PACs. And we can also blame them for the fact that we, essentially, only have a choice between two fancy rich guys to represent one of the three branches of government that run this nation.
Like I said before, I'm not the best at math, but everything about our voting system and elections just doesn't add up. I hope that the rest of the nation sees this too and, better yet, decides to act and do something about it as a whole. Let's believe in our nation again and make this a country that is truly for the people, by the people.

As 2014 has begun, our weather has taken us on a roller coaster ride.
We have dealt with everything from snow and freezing rain, to sub-zero temperatures, to Saturday's warmup to the 50s.
But the rain that came with those mild temperatures wreaked havoc for parts of the Pioneer Valley, and it could continue to do so as this week continues on.
By late Sunday morning, the water could be heard draining down Arnold Street. It was a much different scene than 12 hours earlier, when city police set up road blocks.
"This is the first time I remember them shutting it down," said Mark Rivest, who has lived on Arnold Street for the last fifteen years.
Rivest told CBS 3 that the road gets flooded every time there's a massive rainstorm.
Police said Saturday night's flood was two-feet deep at its worst.
"I lost a car seven years ago," said Rivest. "My wife was driving down the road and didn't realize how deep it was, and the motor blew on it. I guess it's something they can't fix. I don't know what the story is with that."
While Arnold Street was back to normal by morning, the same could not be said for Route 5 in West Springfield.
The tunnel underneath the North End Bridge rotary remained closed due to potholes.
Reports said at least 14 vehicles suffered damage on Saturday, leading to the shut down.
On Sunday, police told CBS 3 that they still do not know when it will reopen.
They said that hinges on how fast the department of transportation fixes the road.
While traffic was not too bad at the rotary on Sunday, police said that will change on Monday once people start hitting the road to head to work.

WASHINGTON • Tightening the reins on the nation's sweeping surveillance operations, President Barack Obama on Friday ordered new limits on the way intelligence officials access phone records from hundreds of millions of Americans — and moved toward eventually stripping the massive data collection from the government's hands.
But Obama's highly anticipated intelligence recommendations left many key details unresolved, most notably who might take over as keeper of the vast trove of U.S. phone records. Final decisions on that and other major questions were left to the Justice Department and to intelligence agencies that oppose changing surveillance operations, and to a Congress that is divided about the future of the programs.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
If fully implemented, Obama's proposals would mark the most significant changes to the surveillance laws that were passed in reaction to the Sept. 11, 2011, terror attacks. While Obama has said he has welcomed the recent spying debate, it's unlikely to have happened without the national and international backlash following a wave of leaks from former National Security Agency analyst Edward Snowden.
For now, the phone records will continue to reside with the government. But the NSA will need to get approval from the secretive Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Court each time it wants to access the data, a more cumbersome process than currently required. Exceptions will be made in the event of a national security emergency, officials said.
Responding to outrage overseas, Obama pledged on Friday to curb spying on friendly allied leaders and to extend some privacy protections to foreign citizens. The proposals appeared to ease some anger in Germany, which had been particularly incensed by revelations that the NSA had monitored the communications of Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Despite the firestorm at home and abroad, Obama robustly defended the intelligence community's role in keeping the nation safe. But he said the U.S. had a "special obligation" to ensure that its muscular spying apparatus was not trampling on civil liberties.
"The reforms I'm proposing today should give the American people greater confidence that their rights are being protected, even as our intelligence and law enforcement agencies maintain the tools they need to keep us safe," he said during a speech at the Justice Department.
Privacy advocates, who have pushed for ending the phone record collections altogether, criticized the president's restrictions as insufficient. The intelligence community appeared publicly content with his plans.
On Capitol Hill, the response was decidedly mixed. A rare cross-section of lawmakers from both parties, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., called for greater reforms. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, blamed the president for failing in the past to properly explain the importance of certain intelligence gathering practices.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., who head their chambers' intelligence committees, called on the president to send them specific legislation with his proposed changes.
Obama's announcement capped a six-month White House review triggered by Snowden's flood of disclosures about the scope of U.S. spying. But by ordering further review of key issues, Obama ensured that his speech would hardly be the final word in the resurgent debate over balancing privacy and security.
The most glaring omission in Obama's announcement was any recommendation on where Americans' phone records should be kept if they are no longer housed by the government. A presidential review board recommended moving the data to the phone providers or a third party, but both options present obstacles. The phone companies strongly oppose the expense and potential liability of holding the data, and no credible third party option has emerged. Administration officials also raised the possibility of replacing the bulk phone collection program with new surveillance methods that would negate the need to store the data long-term.
Obama ordered the Justice Department and intelligence community to report back to him with options within 60 days. If they propose housing the data with the phone companies or a third party, congressional legislation would almost certainly be needed, raising questions about how quickly lawmakers could reach an agreement, if at all.
"I think the odds are long that we can get it done in a timely way," said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., though he was largely supportive of the president's proposals.
Under Obama's plan, the government will no longer be able to gain access to phone records beyond two "hops" from the person they are targeting. That means the government can't examine records for someone who called someone who called someone who called the suspect.
Privacy advocates said they were troubled that Obama's proposals did not go further.
"He seems to endorse amending bulk data collection but not ending it," said Anthony Romero, the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union.
The president cast the changes as a pre-emptive attempt to curb possible government abuse as new technologies give intelligence agencies the ability to round up more information more quickly. But he said there was nothing in the White House review that "indicated that our intelligence community has sought to violate the law or is cavalier about the civil liberties of their fellow citizens."
Obama mentioned Snowden and his disclosures in negative but measured language.
"The sensational way in which these disclosures have come out has often shed more heat than light, while revealing methods to our adversaries that could impact our operations in ways that we may not fully understand for years to come," he said.
Anger with the U.S. after Snowden's revelations has been particularly strong abroad, especially when it was revealed that the Americans were monitoring the communications of friendly foreign leaders such as Merkel and Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff. Obama said new guidelines will cut back on such monitoring, except when there is a compelling national security interest.Next Page >

The other hardware that launched today
This is my first 3DS so does anyone have recommendations on some good 3DS games? I already have Mario Kart, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, and Fire Emblem: Awakening on my list. Thought I've never played any of the Fire Emblem games, it sounds like something I might like.
Also, when I open it up, it makes a very audible clicking noise. Is this normal?
I can't wait to dig into A Link Between Worlds. But I gotta finish Wind Waker HD first...

There were a lot more good moments to this year than I originally thought. Kind of surprising to see no one has voted for Roy's game winner vs the Wizards. Maybe it was because it was the ugliest game ever and we won't no more memories from it ever again despite the win?

Fabulous 1950s Baby Names
Hey, all you Mommy-and-Daddy-o's! Unless you're a total square, you know that retro baby names are hip and happenin' right now! So we've rounded up some of the most far out, fab and funky baby names inspired by the 1950s! Right on!
Elvis, Connie, Jerry, Etta
Rock 'n' roll–and teen idols–broke on to the scene in the mid-'50s, along with outta-sight names like Elvis, Jerry (Lee Lewis), Etta (James) and Connie (Francis). Let's just hope the resurgence of hip names like this will curtail the onslaught of a bunch of babies named Bieber.
Dick & Jane
Sure, today's kids are down with Dora and Diego, but back in the '50s, Dick and Jane were the coolest cats around!
Ward, June & Wally
TV's favorite '50s family (That's the Leave It to Beaver crew, for the youngsters in the house) was full of fab baby names. Of course, you've got to be careful here–"Beaver" doesn't have quite the same name appeal today that it had back then.
Bud, Buddy, Buster
The "nicknames as first names" trend is as hip as it gets.
Charlie, Sally, Linus, Patty, Marcie, Lucy, Violet
Names from the classic Peanuts comics are still topping the U.S. baby name charts! Heck, even Snoop D-O-Double-G is rockin' a name from the Peanuts gang. (We'd recommend shying away from calling your kid "Pigpen" or "the Little Red-Headed Girl," though.)
Richie, Arthur, Joanie, Ralph
Pay homage to the Happy Days crew with one of these super-keen names! And if your kiddo is particularly cool, consider referring to him as the Fonz.
Want more primo 1950s baby names? Dig these nifty names that topped the charts in the 1950s: Brenda, Margaret, Diane, Pamela, Janet, Shirley, Carolyn, Ronald, Joseph, Donald, Kenneth, Steven, Dennis, Paul.
Got a brilliant baby name idea for this list? Add it to the comments below!

After long days of grueling training, on Friday dozens of Missoulians are heading to Coeur D' Alene for the 2013 Ironman Triathlon.
For five years, Andrew Drobeck of Missoula has worked up to this weekend, the 2013 Coeur D'Alene Ironman Triathlon. He said from now on until race day, all he can do is hope.
"Just hoping you're feeling good on race day, and hoping it goes well, because it's nine plus hours for a good athlete," Drobeck said.
The race starts at 6:30 Sunday morning, and lasts until midnight. Drobeck said the best athletes finish in about eight to nine hours. Drobeck said even after years of training, he still has his worries.
"There's a lot that can go wrong, and really, you have to be really lucky to have everything go perfect on race day," he said.
The triathlon consists of a 2.4 mile swim in the lake, a fairly hilly bike ride on a 112 mile course, and finishes up with a 26.2 mile run, a full marathon.
"I've just been getting better, and better since I've started training, and I have a coach to help get me through it," Drobeck said.
More than 400 people from across the nation, and even some from outside the U.S., plus about 20 Missoulians are in Coeur D'Alene preparing.
"It feels good to be here," Drobeck said.
Drobeck said he's trained more than 40 hours a week for the event, and hopes to qualify for the world championship.
50 qualifying slots are open for the Ironman World Championship this October in Kona, Hawaii.
To follow the race on Sunday head to ironman.com.

Hercules Stands DS410B TravLite In-Bell Trumpet StandThe DS410B TravLite In-Bell Trumpet Stand offers a compact design for storage inside the instrument bell when your trumpet is in its case. This stand features a velvet base to protect the interior finish of the instrument bell plus a folding five-leg design that's very stable and folds up to 7 inches in length.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
This is a very nice trumpet stand! I have had one for almost a year now and it has served me well. It is very sturdy, unlike a certain model that I saw, which was made entirely out of cheap plastic, and only had three legs. It is about as sturdy as the stand which has five legs that unscrew from the rest of the stand (I apologize for my lack of knowledge on product names). In my opinion, the Hercules is superior to both of these competitors. It is like they mixed all of the good qualities from both and made them into one stand: It has the sturdiness of the latter, but is also in one piece, like the former.
This stand is more substantial than you might imagine. It has great stability, there is no nearly no flexing to it once set up and it is very solid. Works well on all my trumpets (Bb and C) and on Bb cornet. My Eb cornet, with a smaller and sharper-tapered bell, doesn't fit well on the stand, but no stand is perfect for all horns. Takes a beating, very stable, easy to pack and set up, good quality.
The stand is overall a good buy. I haven't tried the K&M stands, but this one is very sturdy. The issues are the yellow rubber ball came off on mine, the glue was not strong enough to deal with the head being used to screw the peg in place. The rubber on the ends of the legs come off too, but is an easy fix. Even with those issues (which were really easy to fix) i do recommend this product.
This is my first trumpet stand, and I'll never stop using it. It doesn't take up much space on the ground, but is sturdy enough to not get knocked over easily. Don't let it's spindly look fool you - it's deceptively heavy in a solid way. The legs are of metal construction and are very sturdy. The yellow rubber ball on the tip provides ample protection for the inside of the bell of your horn. It folds up very quickly, and doesn't have two pieces like the K&M stand. I am very confident in storing it in my bell; it fits snugly with no room to be jostled about causing dents. The velvet bag that comes with it is a big plus.
Give this stand a shot before the K&M 5 legged one - trust me.
This trumpet stand looks spidery, but it's mostly metal with dense, solid rubber in key spots to protect your horn. When the legs are spread out, the stand has a low center of gravity; it's stable and sturdy. It folds up and fits nicely in the bell of your trumpet. Comes with a soft pouch for extra protection.
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

Want to save money? Check out the 2009 Dodge Dakota Extended Cab
By KBB.com Editors
After Dodge redesigned the Dakota in 2008, the popular mid-size truck could no longer be tagged as a "mini-Ram". The Dakota's apparent success proves its buyers probably disdain today's bulked-up full-sized pickups, preferring a leaner exterior. With little compromise in interior room or workhorse ability, the Dakota delivers a trimmer package that makes it easier to negotiate congested city traffic and crowded parking lots. Yet the Dakota remains roomier and more potent than its smaller competitors. The Dakota comes in four distinct trim levels. Each is available with either aft-hinged rear doors – called Extended Cab – or the four conventional doors of the Crew Cab. Most are available with either rear-wheel or conventional four-wheel drive. Standard is a capable 210-horsepower V6, while an impressive 302-horsepower V8 is available.
Of less-than-full-size pickups the 2010 Dodge Dakota offers the most power and the largest interior. Real truck folks will love the removable storage bins that stow under the Crew Cab's rear seat.
The Dakota is not a "little" pickup. It's about as big as some full-sized pickups once were. Unlike some other smaller pickups, the Dakota does not offer a budget version with a four-cylinder engine or a regular cab.
The addition of Tokico shock modules and Arvin springs help improve an already notable ride.
Driving Impressions In comparing the 2010 Dodge Dakota to a typical sedan, a sophisticated driver may notice a small amount of rear-axle ride harshness over uneven pavement. Others may feel...the Dakota rides as well as most cars. And, with a few hundred pounds loaded in the cargo box, there will be little difference between a current sedan and the Dakota. Steering and braking are predictable in response and feel, and the Dakota owner will likely have no complaints about how it rides smoothly down the road and handles responsively around corners. The optional V8 makes easy the sometimes challenging task of passing slow-moving traffic on rural two-lane highways.
Available V8 Engine
We really like the Dakota's 302-horsepower V8. But most will be more than satisfied with the standard and more practical 210-horsepower V6.
Ride and Handling
The Dakota's ride comfort, even when it's unloaded, is more than capable for a truck and, perhaps surprisingly, essentially as good as many cars.
If you're moving from, say, a fairly recent sedan to a pickup, you'll be hard pressed to find deficiencies in the Dakota. The black-on-white instrument panel is easy to read, although the plastics that make up much of the interior feel hard and somewhat low-budget. Clever storage devices, such as the Crate 'N Go under-seat storage system and the center console modular cup holder inserts designed to accommodate iPods or cell phones, abound throughout the Dakota's roomy cabin (30-cubic feet inside the Extended Cab and 37.1 cubic-feet in the Crew Cab).Exterior
No longer will the observant confuse a Dakota with a Ram. Forward of the front-door hinge, the 2010 Dakota is completely different than either its predecessors or its bigger sibling. While maintaining the aggressive styling that has become a Dodge trademark, the 2010 Dakota is angular where previous generations were rounded. Unique to this class, the Dakota Extended Cab features "Full Swing" rear doors that open nearly 170-degrees. A dual-position tail gate can be secured in mid-position to act as a support for extra long cargo extending beyond the Dakota's six-foot six-inch bed.
The 2010 Dodge Dakota is available in four trim levels and two body styles: The Extended Cab, which has rear-hinged aft doors, and the Crew Cab, which has four conventional doors. All but the TRX4 are available in rear- or four-wheel drive. The ST comes standard with a 210-horsepower V6 coupled to a four-speed automatic transmission. Big Horn and Lone Star standard equipment includes 17-inch aluminum wheels, cruise control and power windows. The TRX4 has four-wheel drive, additional skid plate protection, off-road wheel and tire setup, a sliding rear window and SIRIUS Satellite Radio standard, while the potent V8 is an option. The luxury-minded Laramie has a chromed grille, heated leather seats, premium audio, remote start and chrome rear bumper.
The top option on the 2010 Dakota is the V8 engine, followed by a traditional four-wheel-drive system with hi/low transfer case allowing for four settings: Neutral; 2WD; 4WD high, locked and 4WD low, locked. The available communication system features, among many other things, a voice-activated navigation system and a 30-gigabyte hard drive to which you can load music, photos and movies (the latter won't play while the truck is moving.). The available cargo box rail with movable tie-down cleats will come in handy when friends need help moving.
The 2010 Dodge Dakota's optional 302-horspower 4.7-liter V8 turns out almost a third more horsepower than the first generation 4.7-liter unit and, with 329 pound-feet, 13 percent more torque. On top of that, the new V8 gets better fuel mileage and will operate on E85 ethanol-based fuel. The V8 comes fitted only with a five-speed automatic. While it's easy to become infatuated with the Dakota's optional V8, the standard 3.7-liter V6 will provide a rewarding, long-term relationship for most. With 210 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque, it should easily deal with most light-to-moderate trailer-towing and load-hauling duty.
3.7-liter V6
210 horsepower @ 5200 rpm

The Fizik Aliante Gamma Versus Kium rail saddle features a recessed, center channel about 2cm wide to provide relief to sensitive areas incorporated into their well-proven Aliante model. This model is part of their 2013 "Highlighter Collection" with brightly colored details. The channel is created with extra padding for more cushioning as well as center relief.
The Fizik Aliante saddle is a go-to choice for excellent comfort combined with relatively light weight. It features a slightly wider 142mm width and soft padding. A carbon reinforced frame contains a central carbon Kevlar hammock to add a little give to the central portion of the saddle. The Aliante is a staff favorite at Excel Sports Boulder and several of us have ridden many thousands of miles on the Aliante model.

Workplace Freedom
A union push for federal "card check" legislation could make things more difficult for small businesses and open workers up to intimidation. The Goldwater Institute stands by workers' rights to an anonymous ballot in union votes, and drafted the Save Our Secret Ballot amendment, already law in four states. While the Obama administration is fighting us in court, we will continue to stand by small businesses and their employees who deserve the right to vote in private.

Do Police Officers Pay for Release Time?Posted on January 18, 2012 | Type: Blog | Author: Taylor Earl
The Goldwater Institute recently filed a lawsuit challenging Phoenix's "release time" practice that sends six city police officers to work as full-time union managers, 35 to work as part-time union representatives, and one to work as a union lobbyist. Although these employees are released from city duties to perform union duties, taxpayers continue to pay the officers' salaries and benefits.
Public sector collective bargaining threatens right to work states tooPosted on December 14, 2011 | Type: Blog | Author: Nick Dranias
Despite claims that "right to work" states do not recognize collective bargaining by public employees, the truth is that "meet and confer" laws are collective bargaining laws. And that has big ramifications for longsuffering taxpayers nationwide.

The real lesson to learn from OhioPosted on November 15, 2011 | Type: Blog | Author: Nick Dranias
Although labor unions have been trumpeting their success in overturning Ohio's ban on public sector collective bargaining after it was referred to the ballot in last week's election, their victory was more about voter confusion than political strength. They successfully obscured the critical distinction between private sector and public sector unions. That distinction makes all the difference because it is precisely what justifies a ban on collective bargaining in the public sector that could never be justified in the private sector.
Supreme Court agrees to hear federal health care lawsuitPosted on November 14, 2011 | Type: Blog | Author: Clint Bolick
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments in a case brought by more than two dozen states challenging the constitutionality of the federal health care law. The core issue is whether the individual mandate to purchase government-prescribed health care is constitutional. The Court of Appeals ruled that it was unconstitutional.

Every year we release our Job Market Perspectives report, which details the current state of the job market broken down by industry sector and region. The report also contains important topics and useful information such as a 2013 year in review, a summary of the last five years, as well as an executive polling section where we take a look at what business leaders are seeing and what challenges we face moving forward.
To coincide with the 2014 Job Market Perspectives Report release, we are publishing a three-part blog series to highlight some of the information in the report. In part one, we'll discuss the 2007-2009 recession and what impact it had on the job market. In part two, we'll present a recap of 2013 and show the progress we've made in the last year, and in the final installment we'll present a "sneak peak" of what to expect in 2014.

Celebrities Speak Out Against Cyberbullying
Demi Lovato, Kendall Jenner, Shay Mitchell, and more of your favorite celebrities take a stand with Seventeen to delete digital drama.

"It's easy to be mean when you're anonymous. There's a lot of people who wouldn't have the cajones to say in person what they do online. But you can't listen to somebody you don't even know. Opinions of your friends and family matter, but you can't listen to somebody who is nobody to you."

A new family run business will soon open its doors in Salem. Owners say the Salem Art Center will give children and adults a way to explore their creative side.
Originally from Ohio, Jessica and Joe Palotas moved to Salem from Florida nearly two months ago to settle in community with a good quality of life in which to raise a family and continue their teaching. Jessica is a photographer while Joe has been a professional artist for more than a decade. They started teaching, mainly working with home school associations while in Florida and are now bringing their love of education to Salem to help its small but budding art community grow.
The pair will work with kids from preschool to high school and adults on everything from drawing to painting at the new Salem Art Center. They'll offer after school enrichment programs as well.
The Palotas' say helping all ages explore their creative sides helps with problem solving. "When you come into the world of art, we give you multiple opportunities and different avenues to go through to make the right choice or make a choice that can at least spark a new conversation," said Joe Palotas.
Courses will be limited to five to 10 students in an attempt to keep class sizes small and the quality of education high. Each class will range one to two hours each.
The Salem Art Center will have its first classes for children Monday and its official ribbon cutting August 30. Adult classes will be added later in the Fall.

Product DescriptionNearly a decade ago, riders of that era's spindly XC bikes experienced the lightweight, low-profile, and high-volume ride of Schwalbe's Racing Ralphs. Chainstays lost paint, opinions swayed, and those twitchy XC bikes evolved into the trail-taming monsters that they are today. And during that...

Date Reviewed: April 3, 2014
Strengths: Light, great rolling resistance, fast.
Weaknesses: Thin sidewalls, corner knobs extreme wear.
Bottom Line:
This tire is made out of a very soft rubber compound but after 3-4 rides I noticed the rear tire becoming of age. I'm very heavy rider 250+ so I will try to be objective considering this fact. I guess its a good tire for the speed freaks out there but I would not recommend it for highly technical and climbing trails. It can work well as a rear but for low to mid weight riders. Rock gardens are not this tires specialty because of the thin sidewalls, also the corner knobs ware out very fast.
Date Reviewed: March 5, 2014
Strengths: Fast
Low rolling resistance
Very light for a 29x2.4
Decent traction
Weaknesses: Flat-prone
SnakeSkin didn't save it from sidewall failure
Flimsy casing and stretchy bead
Very porous
Bottom Line:
Only switched since I thought a 2.4 would be cool up front, but it turned out to be not be any better than a 2.2 Ikon.

Purchased At: Planet Bike NJ
Bike Setup: Pivot Mach 429 Carbon, Syntace W35 wheels, Fox Float 32 120mm @ 70psi, 18psi front tire, 25psi rear
Date Reviewed: November 4, 2013
Strengths: - Light tire with a large volume carcass.
- Low rolling resistance; feel like they will roll for days once you get going.
- Super easy to mount up tubeless. I got them to seat with a floor pump
- Good grip as a rear tire at lower pressures.
Weaknesses: - Weak and very porous tire carcass. After about a month I already have quite a few sidewall cuts. Also, they ended up being impossible to run tubeless for long periods because the sealant would dry out in a few weeks due to the porous sidewalls..
- Extremely fast wearing. The center knobs look like they are crumbling and the inside edges of the side knobs are all torn out after about two months of riding.
- Absolutely terrifying as a front tire. Constantly feels like it is on the edge of washing out.
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: September 25, 2013
Strengths: grip is just fine, as a 1.95
Weaknesses: EXTREMELY EASILY punctured. VERY THIN sidewall
Bottom Line:
The front tyre flat at the firth ride when fast speed downhill, changed a self healing tube.
Yesterday, the rear tyre flat at the same downhill section, changed a normal tube and flattened in 3 minutes again! Of course I have checked the inside when fixing.
Im regular to this track , used to use maxxis high roller, never has any issue. Every time u ride here will always meet some riders. if the track doesn't suit ridding why it's so popular?
the sidewall is really so thin, can easily find where is broken cut by the rocks. if the track you ride has small and sharp rocks, it will happen some day...

Date Reviewed: April 21, 2013
Strengths: Light weight. Fast.
Weaknesses: Durability. Air leak (I run tubeless).
Bottom Line:
The side wall on both tires are also worn (white thread under the rubber is beginning to show). As mentioned, I only use this for XC rides. I am really puzzled about this and wonder if the rubber actually degrade by itself.
Since I am running tubeless, the tire used to be able to hold the same amount of pressure for 2 weeks. Nowadays, it would loose about 10psi after 4 days.

Date Reviewed: February 22, 2013
Strengths: light weight
Weaknesses: not the jack of all trades
Bottom Line:
I run it in 2.10 size on both wheels. However it grips well on wet soil when run straight and easy to recover the line while riding but don't try to lean with it in such condition. Otherwise it shows its best traction on dry soil at its best performance. On dry soil the side knobs stick very well on dirt I've ever done a high speed lean in and it doesn't shows any slip.
The term 'racing' means light weight and easy to handle but it isn't a versatile tire. So don't ever expect the best in any condition of trail.

It's spooky day kids! The most magical day of the year for all of us horror nerds. Tonight is the night we all sit down and watch our favorite movies, sob in our parent's basement because we've never found love and finish off the evening by pleasuring ourselves to internet porn. Enjoy it, Halloween only comes around once a year. Thank god.
Fede Alvarez, the fella who wrote and directed the "Evil Dead" remake has dropped word that if a sequel does happen it won't be with him involved. No word on if the producers will still move forward with the project but if I was a bettin man I'd say they most likely would. Cause ya know, money and stuff right?
Because it's Halloween and because it's spooky time here's a video from the folks over at Funny or Die. It's called "Are These Tales Spooky to You?". Those of you who are old might catch on the resemblance to the old "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" show that was on Nickelodeon. Those of you who are old and didn't get laid in high school might remember the host of the video as Marilyn Manson, of music old ladies used to protest fame. Enjoy.
While I was on my crazy leave it was announced by Michael Dougherty that "Trick R Treat 2" was in fact moving forward. No other details were really given but now it looks like that Michael has let out that we'll for sure see some witches in this next installment, we'll get just a touch of Sam's back story and there will most likely be a third film to complete the trilogy. He also said that I'm his muse and that he thinks I've lost weight and that I look perfect. That part didn't make it into the interview but I'm sure it was said.
According to Ridley Scott he's already got "Prometheus 2" and "Prometheus 3" written and ready to go. He plans on them seeing the light of day in 2014 and 2015, respectively. He's also apparently completed his taxes for the next 5 years and is actively working on that model ship that's been sitting in your closet for three years.
And here's a group of guys that dressed up as bloodied flight attendants from the Asiana Airlines crash for a Halloween party. Because ya know, Chicago.
A 41 year old man is under arrest after he apparently assaulted his girlfriend with a cat. I have no idea how you really do that but I like to think there was some sort of freezing involved to make an elaborate frozen cat sword. Most likely that didn't happen though and is probably impossible.
Anchor Bay has decided to thrust their revenge flick "Girls Against Boys" NYC and LA theaters on February 1st, 2013. The film stars Danielle Panabaker as a girl who finds herself being tormented by a number of different men before she finally snaps and goes on a killing spree. There's a time of the month joke here, right? I'll let you make your own.
I'm pretty sure at some point I mentioned the new flick "The Amityville Horror: The Lost Tapes" but in all honestly I huffed A TON of different things when I was in High School so some of the old brain beans are pretty fried at this point. Anyway the film, about a reporter who puts together a team to investigate the happenings in the famous house, has finally be slapped with a January 3rd, 2014 release date. I look forward to catching up with you again on this topic in 6 to 7 months.
"Texas Chainsaw 3D" doesn't hit theaters for a couple weeks but star Alexandra Daddario is already excited to get a sequel going. Not that one has been confirmed or anything. Apparently she just wanted to make sure everyone knew she doesn't die in this one. So um, spoiler alert or something.
Damon Lindelof has dropped word that he will not be returning to pen the script for "Prometheus 2". Apparently he's just too swamped right now with his other projects to dedicate what he expects to be 2 years worth of production to the sequel. Oh and he wasn't asked yet either. But ya know, he's got hand.
And here's a photo of the greatest pizza ever invented. Well done Singapore. Well done.
A NYC man is under arrest after he was groped a woman in Time Square while dressed up as Super Mario. I always wondered where those fireballs shot out of.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

Coxsackieviruses are part of the enterovirus family of viruses (which also includes polioviruses and hepatitis A virus) that live in the human digestive tract. They can spread from person to person, usually on unwashed hands and surfaces contaminated by feces, where they can live for several days.
In cooler climates, outbreaks of coxsackievirus infections most often occur in the summer and fall, though they cause infections year-round in tropical parts of the world.
In most cases, coxsackieviruses cause mild flu-like symptoms and go away without treatment. But in some cases, they can lead to more serious infections.
Coxsackievirus can produce a wide variety of symptoms. About half of all kids infected with coxsackievirus have no symptoms. Others suddenly develop high fever, headache, and muscle aches, and some also develop a sore throat, abdominal discomfort, or nausea. A child with a coxsackievirus infection may simply feel hot but have no other symptoms. In most kids, the fever lasts about 3 days, then disappears.
Coxsackieviruses can also cause several different symptoms that affect different body parts, including:
Occasionally, coxsackieviruses can cause more serious infections that may need to be treated in a hospital, including:
Newborns can be infected from their mothers during or shortly after birth and are more at risk for developing serious infection, including myocarditis, hepatitis, and meningoencephalitis (an inflammation of the brain and meninges). In newborns, symptoms can develop within 2 weeks after birth.
Coxsackieviruses are very contagious. They can be passed from person to person on unwashed hands and surfaces contaminated by feces. They also can be spread through droplets of fluid sprayed into the air when someone sneezes or coughs.
When an outbreak affects a community, risk for coxsackievirus infection is highest among infants and kids younger than 5. The virus spreads easily in group settings like schools, childcare centers, and summer camps. People who are infected with a coxsackievirus are most contagious the first week they're sick.
There is no vaccine to prevent coxsackievirus infection. Hand washing is the best protection. Remind everyone in your family to wash their hands frequently, particularly after using the toilet (especially those in public places), after changing a diaper, before meals, and before preparing food. Shared toys in childcare centers should be routinely cleaned with a disinfectant because the virus can live on these objects for days.
Kids who are sick with a coxsackievirus infection should be kept out of school or childcare for a few days to avoid spreading the infection.
The duration of an infection varies widely. For fever without other symptoms, a child's temperature may return to normal within 24 hours, although the average fever lasts 3 to 4 days. Hand, foot, and mouth disease usually lasts for 2 or 3 days; viral meningitis can take 3 to 7 days to clear up.
Depending on the type of infection and symptoms, the doctor may prescribe medications to make your child feel more comfortable. However, because antibiotics only work against bacteria, they can't be used to fight a coxsackievirus infection.
Acetaminophen may be given to relieve any minor aches and pains. If the fever lasts for more than 24 hours or if your child has any symptoms of a more serious coxsackievirus infection, call your doctor.
Most kids with a simple coxsackievirus infection recover completely after a few days without needing any treatment. A child who has a fever without any other symptoms should rest in bed or play quietly indoors. Offer plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
Call the doctor immediately if your child develops any of the following symptoms:

A new twist on a common surgical tool is making waves. Called the 'I' or Intelligent Knife, the small device could revolutionize how doctors treat people battling cancer.
"The iKnife offers the potential for learning more about the spread of tumor during the surgery in real time," said Doctor Thomas Shellenberger, a surgical oncologist at Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center.
That is because the knife can detect cancerous cells in real time, as a surgeon is cutting through a tumor. Basically, the knife can smell cancer, letting the doctor know when he or she has cut past the tumor into healthy tissue. "The smoke that's generated by electrocautery is collected and sent to a spectrometer which helps to differentiate the chemical compounds we've just cut though," said Shellenberger. "It is exciting. It can mean less extensive operations or operations," he continued.
Right now the iKnife is undergoing testing in the United Kingdom with near-perfect results, and cancer patients here in the Valley say they wish it were already available in the United States. "(Doctors) said, 'Yeah, it was stage four cancer," recalled cancer patient David Null. Null went into surgery a few months back to remove a large tumor from his neck. He says he wishes the iKnife were available for his operation. "They kept finding more and more (cancerous cells), and they had to keep stopping and checking and stopping and checking, and I think that's why it look longer," he explained.
Since his tumor was not clearly defined, surgeons also had to remove part of the healthy muscle surrounding the tumor, leaving Null without much mobility in his neck. He said he is also left with the worry that the cancer could reappear. "The not knowing is the hard part. You're always going to be worried. With the knife, it probably would have guaranteed that they would have got it all," he said.
Doctors say, pending the results of the UK study, the iKnife could make its way onto our shore in the next five years.
