Brennan served on the Court from 1956 to 1990, and during that time helped forge the interpretation of the First Amendment we now take for granted. Seth Stern, Congressional Quarterly reporter and co-author of the new biography, Justice Brennan: Liberal Champion, talks about Brennan's influence on libel, obscenity and speaking with fire. Music Playlist Little Girl Artist: Kelley Stoltz Transcript BROOKE GLADSTONE: Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan once said: "Law cannot stand aside from the social changes around it." Brennan served on the Court from 1956 to 1990, a time of extraordinary social upheaval in America, and during that time he helped forge the modern interpretation of the First Amendment that we now take for granted. But his personal opinions didn't always line up comfortably with his legal ones. Seth Stern is a reporter for Congressional Quarterly and co-author of the new biography titled Justice Brennan: Liberal Champion. Seth, welcome to On the Media. SETH STERN: Thanks so much for having me. BROOKE GLADSTONE: So could you begin in 1964 with one of Brennan's earliest and most famous decisions, New York Times vs. Sullivan? SETH STERN: Sure. The case actually goes back to March, 1960. An ad appeared in The New York Times soliciting contributions for a committee to defend Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement, and the ad condemned violence directed at civil rights demonstrators. It didn't refer to any Southerners by name, but L.B. Sullivan, a Montgomery, Alabama city commissioner, filed suit against The Times and four of the clergymen who had signed the ad, claiming the ad's references to Alabama had defamed him. Now, the ad contains some minor errors, such as suggesting students had sung My Country 'Tis of Thee rather than The Star-Spangled Banner, which they had actually sung, and an Alabama jury awarded Sullivan 500,000 dollars. [BROOKE LAUGHS] Several other local officials in Alabama filed suit, and The Times soon faced millions of dollars in potential damages. Now, the goal for those filing suit was to drive The Times and other news organizations out of the South, and the idea was if they could force the reporters out, the news coverage and the sympathy might dry up. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Seth, you're going to have to explain to me what the significance of mixing up The Star-Spangled Banner and My Country 'Tis of Thee is to the charge of libel leveled by Sullivan. SETH STERN: The state of libel law in that area was that any error was an error and you could recover for those errors if the defendant couldn't prove the truth of the statement at issue, and so it was almost a trap. And in news coverage there's inevitably inadvertent errors. BROOKE GLADSTONE: So how was Brennan's decision important to our understanding of a free press? SETH STERN: Well, up to that point, libel law had really been weighted heavily in favor of those filing suit. Brennan basically put the burden on a plaintiff to prove that a defendant had knowingly or recklessly published a falsehood. The term of art that he used was "actual malice," and he actually came to have some regrets, some buyer's remorse about using that term [BROOKE LAUGHS], as he told my co-author. He came to view it as too confusing for jurors who came to associate this notion of actual malice with the idea of hatred or ill will, and that really wasn't what was meant by the term "actual malice." BROOKE GLADSTONE: You've said that Chief Justice Earl Warren asked Brennan to write the Sullivan opinion because, at least in part, Brennan had carved out a niche in the areas of free expression and obscenity. SETH STERN: His very first term on the Supreme Court a case came up, someone was accused of violating the federal statute barring the mailing of obscene materials. His name was Samuel Roth. And Chief Justice Warren, who was very famously prudish and uncomfortable with obscenity, assigned the case to Brennan. It was an unusually high-profile assignment for a freshman justice. And Brennan himself was pretty uneasy with obscenity, but he wound up writing an opinion that helped liberalize obscenity law. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Out of it emerged the so-called "Roth Test." Could you describe that? SETH STERN: Well, he defined obscenity as whether to an average person applying contemporary community standards, the dominant theme appeals to the prurient interest. This was a deviation from the prevailing standard. It was according to the average person, not the most sensitive person who might be easily offended. It was whether the dominant theme of the work was obscene, rather than just a choice excerpt. In the past, you could have a very brief passage in a book and an entire work might be deemed obscene. Very quickly it would prove to be the vehicle for liberalizing obscenity law. BROOKE GLADSTONE: He came to the conclusion ultimately that obscenity ought to be protected, unless it's distributed to minors. SETH STERN: Yes, the Court ultimately went in that direction. They basically got themselves out of the business of trying to determine whether individual works were obscene or not. There was a point in the '60s and '70s, famously recounted in The Brethren, the Bob Woodward account of the Supreme Court in 1979, where the justices would gather in a basement room and watch obscene movies [BROOKE LAUGHS], along with their clerks. It was very distasteful to all of them, and I think they were quite happy to get out of that sort of [BROOKE LAUGHS] micromanagement of obscenity. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Much later in his career, flag burning came before the Court. Can you tell us what Brennan had to say about speaking with fire? SETH STERN: In 1984, Gregory Johnson had burned a flag outside Dallas City Hall during the Republican National Convention that was held there. He was convicted under a Texas law, and the case reached the Supreme Court in 1989. By that point, Brennan had been in the Court for 33 years and he wrote a majority opinion ruling that expression can't be prohibited simply because it's offensive. And that decision prompted a furious backlash. Flags were mailed to him of every shape and size. A neighbor in his condo building hung a flag on the door so that every time he got off the elevator he couldn't miss it. The President signed into law quickly a federal flag burning law, but Brennan was really unbowed, and a year later he wrote a 5-4 decision striking down that Flag Protection Act. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Now, I mentioned in the introduction that Brennan's legal opinions sometimes were in conflict with his personal opinions or even his behavior. He was a champion of speech and the press and yet, he rarely, if ever, gave interviews and was generally distrustful of reporters. SETH STERN: Absolutely, reporters drove him crazy. And yet, he really believed that unpopular and sometimes offensive speech is the price that we have to pay to have free speech and to have robust public debate. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Thank you very much. SETH STERN: Thank you. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Seth Stern is a reporter for Congressional Quarterly and co-author, with Stephen Wermiel, of Justice Brennan: Liberal Champion. [MUSIC/MUSIC UP AND UNDER]

Moscow, Oct 10: At least 300 Islamic State (ISIS) militants killed in air strikes carried out by Russian air force on Syria over the past 24 hours, media reported.
It was the first intense air strikes carried out by Russian air force since it first launched strikes on Syria 10 days ago.
Earlier Russian forces used to hit around 10 targets on daily basis. They have increased the volume of attacks to prevent militants from re-grouping and dispersing in populated areas.
Äir force jets used KAB-500 precision guided bombs to destroy a headquarters of the Liwa al-Haqq militant group in Syria's Raqqa province," said a statement issued by the defence ministry.
The ministry also said it destroyed an ISIS base and munitions storage set up in a former prison near Aleppo, killing another 100 militants.

THE WORLD; A Woman's Obsession Pays Off -- at a Cost
By CATHERINE S. MANEGOLD
Published: March 26, 1995
WASHINGTON— OBSESSION is a wild, defining force. Like fire, it can forge or destroy. The line be tween the two, as any smithy knows, is thin. Jennifer Kristina Harbury walked that line for several years.
When friends said stop, she did not stop. When enemies said stop, she did not stop. She left legions of quizzical admirers in her wake. She made enemies, too, and appeared on a death list. But she had convinced herself that she could change the course of history and she never did back down.
Still, it is no simple thing to balance obsession and one's sanity. Time after time, Ms. Harbury encountered disappointment and deceit in her quest to learn the fate of her husband, a Guatemalan guerrilla who disappeared in 1992.
But she tried everything. One moment, she was the latest nonstop naysayer to lay her mark on Lafayette Park, pointing fingers at the White House and sharing bench space with the obsessed, the possessed, the skinheads and the saved.
The next, she was walking up the stairs of Congress, a quirky modern heroine on a hunger strike for justice, wearing a borrowed dress and a pair of high heels as she waltzed in to see Madame Mitterrand at a private reception in a polished hall.
In the park, the homeless man who wears his whiskers long and whispers confidences about covert operations had precisely the same message. He spat out accusations all day long: Murder! Conspiracy! Injustice and betrayal!
But he is a former mental patient. Ms. Harbury is a 43-year-old Harvard-trained lawyer. And when she talked about murder, conspiracy, injustice and betrayal, she was right.
Last week, she caught her Government in the thick of it. Now, she must reconstruct a life -- her own -- both shattered and shaped by a single explosive thought: "They are lying!" For three years and three hunger strikes that conviction carried her, like Alice, down a rabbit hole into Washington's own wonderland.
The Government, as it often seems to in any crusade against entrenched bureaucracy, most obligingly played the heavy. Even her most frightful scenarios had not captured the grim truth.
Last Wednesday, a member of the House Intelligence Committee accused the Central Intelligence Agency of concealing information that linked a Guatemalan Army colonel who was a paid C.I.A. informer to the killings of an American hotel-keeper in Guatemala in 1990 and, later, of Ms. Harbury's husband.
The American hotel-keeper apparently had stumbled onto a smuggling scandal involving the Guatemalan military. Ms. Harbury's husband was a Mayan rebel who, the Guatemalan military said, had been killed in battle. Instead, it appears that he was captured, tortured and executed without trial. The Guatemalan colonel was dropped from the C.I.A. payroll about the time he supervised the interrogation and killing of Ms. Marbury's husband, Government officials now say.
A Part for Madonna
Representative Robert G. Torricelli, the New Jersey Democrat who blew the whistle, admonished his Government for a cover-up that the C.I.A. is denying: "It's not bad policy," he said firmly. "It's a crime."
Ms. Harbury, dazed and shaken, sipped carrot juice, ending a little-noticed 12-day fast and quieting speculation that she was, as many Government officials insisted, "well-meaning," but "a little wacky."
She was somber in victory, and still angry. "I do feel really, really pleased to finally, finally catch the C.I.A. red-handed," she said Thursday. "They are exposed. And so is the State Department exposed. And so is the White House."
Yes, there will be a movie. Ted Turner had already put up $200,000 for the rights before this week's disclosures. Perhaps Madonna should consider the part. It would take a certain controlled irreverence and mad gusto to get Jennifer Harbury on the screen.
Her lonely, quixotic crusade jarred the jaded and the cynical with a lesson often overlooked by a society that disdains nonconformity: sometimes, only a radical heart can force change. But how would the movie end? What seems an unambiguous victory of good over evil has come at tremendous personal cost.
In Guatemala City last winter, she explained herself with some excitement. After numbing hours talking of death squads, forensics, scare tactics and torture, she pulled the whole haunting history of Guatemala's 34-year civil war within the framework of her search for her husband.
Efrain Bamaca Velasquez, a 35-year-old rebel commander known mostly by his nom de guerre, Comandante Everardo, vanished on March 12, 1992 after a firefight in the Guatemalan jungles. Ms. Harbury always viewed her search in a broader context.
"I have a really good chance now of just ending this, once and for all," she said over breakfast last winter, referring not just to her husband but to three decades of atrocities. "It's why people hug me in the streets and won't let me pay taxi fares." But many did not cheer her on. Instead, they said she sounded programmed, too pat and too political by half.
"Really," said a Texas friend who used to call her "tank" in deference to her relentless drive, "if you had lined up 20 of my friends 10 years ago and asked who would go on a hunger strike for her husband who is a missing Guatemalan guerrilla leader, appear on '60 Minutes' and get a hearing at the White House, well, I would have definitely picked Jennifer."

1) VIN B293747 needs to match CCC and the FSC Code, and the Car itself. Without a 3-Way match, it won't work.
2) There are VERY FEW people that know how to use Tool32 to Import and Activate FSC Codes. I am NOT one of them.
I do know that with 00SWT.prg, these are the jobs, but I do not know the arguments.
FREISCHALTCODE_PRUEFEN FSC check
FREISCHALTCODE_LAENGE_LESEN FSC long read
FREISCHALTCODE_SCHREIBEN FSC write you can use the 64bit FSC long word from the .FSC with this one.
I think also for FREISCHALTCODE_SCHREIBEN, first you have to do an authentication somehow with jobs "authentifizierung_zufallszahl_lesen" and "authentifizierung_starten".
3) Other people use a program called FSTool (Freischalt-Tool), not to be confused with FSCTools, which is an entirely different program that does not do do Import and Activation. You will likely never get your hands on FSTool (Freischalt-Tool), as the few people who have it, will NOT share it.
4) The FSC B293747.ZIP contains no actual FSC Code. The B293747_00020001.der file is only a certificate for the FSC Code, which you do not need. The FSC Code file name would be B293747_00020001.FSC. I think the B293747_00020001.xml file is the ****** FSC Code embedded in a XML File. Maybe this can be converted to the .FSC file, but I do not know how.
The other option is to use ISAT/P. Have you considered that?

J.B. Holmes wins Houston Open in three-way playoff
(Reuters) - Long-hitting J.B. Holmes completed a perfect Masters tune-up when he won the Houston Open in a three-way playoff on Sunday.
Holmes came from six strokes behind in the final round with a sizzling eight-under-par 64 that included nine birdies in the first 12 holes at the Golf Club of Houston in Humble.
Three hours after posting a 16-under 272 total, he made a tap-in par at the second extra hole, the par-four 18th, to outlast fellow American Johnson Wagner, who missed a five-foot par putt.
Overnight leader Jordan Spieth was eliminated at the first extra hole.
Holmes collected $1.188 million for his fourth PGA Tour victory. The 33-year-old had already qualified for the Masters, the first major of the year starting on Thursday. He has played the tournament once.
"It was just a great day for me and it ended good too," Holmes told reporters.
"I didn't tee off expecting to win today. It's a nice surprise. I started out with five birdies. After that I thought I had a chance."
Wagner, who played on a sponsor exemption, needed to win to punch his ticket to Augusta, and he gave himself a chance when he sank a 25-foot putt at the 72nd hole to join the playoff.
"Birdieing 18 to even get into the playoff was pretty incredible," he said. "I'm pretty bummed right now, but a lot of good stuff going on." Continued...

ADK is a Moroccan web hosting company. With over ten years' experience, they have hosted thousands of websites in Morocco and around the world. They provide shared, VPS, dedicated, and cloud-based hosting solutions, along with domain registration and SSL Certificates.
ADK Media offers two types of shared hosting solutions: the classic approach, with one server shared by multiple clients, and a cloud-based solution that spreads your site across multiple, linked nodes, to ensure a single outage won't compromise your web presence.
They offer three classic packages, which include unlimited bandwidth, free domain registration for one year, and support for unlimited email addresses. All plans feature cPanel and include Softaculous one-click installations, unlimited MySQL5 databases, webmail, and web stats. Plans vary based on storage space and the number of domains that can be hosted.
They offer seven levels of cloud hosting, which vary based on disk space, monthly bandwidth, and the number of domains that can be hosted. Higher end plans also include SSH access.
ADK Media offers four levels of VPS hosting. All plans include unlimited traffic allocation, a dedicated IP address, root access via SSH, remote reboot, and a selection of Linux operating systems. Plans vary based on the number of CPU cores, RAM, storage, and bandwidth. Managed plans are also available for an additional fee.
They offer two dedicated server packages. Both offer SATA2 RAID storage, 100 Mbps bandwidth, 5 dedicated IP addresses, and root access. Plans vary based on monthly traffic allowance and CPU type.
Technical support is available via telephone, an online ticketing system, and online help center. Telephone support is only available to customers who first create a support ticket regarding their concern.
All shared hosting includes free backup, which can be utilized to restore an active service. For inactive accounts, server backups can be purchased for a fee. Backup solutions are also available for VPS and dedicated servers, for an additional monthly charge.
ADK Media supports all major credit cards and payment options, including PayPal.
ADK Media offers a large selection of hosting options. Customers looking for highly-reliable, reasonably-priced shared options will be pleased with the variety of cloud hosting available. While they don't have many options in terms of dedicated servers, they more than make up for that with their cloud and VPS packages.
Non-profits and students in Morocco may also want to consider their free hosting package. Unlike most free hosting, this is add-free and easily upgradable to a paid package as need requires.
For customers unsure about which hosting package is right for them, ADK Media also has a hosting assistant to walk you through a series of questions about your project and help you select the package that's right for you.

Dear customer,
Thanks for your question.
No this is not normal and you should not be still feeling tenderness of the testis even after one year. I would recommend having an examination done by your doctor.
Take care.

Anderson "Spider" Silva is the most dominant champion in Ultimate Fighting Championship history. The 38-year-old Brazilian middleweight has defended his championship a record 10 straight times -- part of a record 16-fight winning streak -- and none of the calls has been particularly close. It's always tough to separate reality from hype in UFC, but the buzz surrounding Silva's upcoming title defense at UFC 162 is that Silva has finally met his match. Silva's opponent, undefeated Chris Weidman, is such a popular upset pick that a Weidman victory would barely register as an upset. If the fight lives up to the hype, it will be one of the best bouts of recent vintage.
You can watch the fight live on the big screen at the Talking Stick Resort Showroom, 9800 East Indian Bend Road in Scottsdale, Saturday July 6,. The cover charge is $10; doors open at 5 p.m. Visit www.talkingstickresort.com or call 480-850-7777.

Exactly what I expceted, only WAY better!
By Justin G.
This bad boy arrived one day earlier than expected, packaged nice and safe (the awesome foam spray they use to ship things). Performed POST and booted into Windows Server 2012 R2 with no issues! All hardware is in great working condition. All 8 drives work perfectly, and the server was super clean and in damn near perfect condition! You bet your ass I'm going to be ordering from this place again, as I'm currently building my home lab for school and can't afford to spend thousands of dollars on a piece of equipment. Feel confident when you order items from this seller!

Perfect, exactly as I hoped it would be
By SeattleRaybo
Having worked in backoffice IT for quite some time, I'm very familiar with this model and the entire DL380 series. I wanted a home server that would perform several functions. File server, distributed net key cracker, web server, and VM host for my home virtual computer lab. I knew that if this server worked as it should then it would easily be able to handle the jobs.It arrived quickly, shipped in a standard double-box that this type of system is generally shipped in. This was the first time I'd seen this type of spray-in foam packing used for a server. After removing it from the box, I had to laugh at myself for needing to take a moment to determine how to release the server from it's foam encasement. Simple, just force your fingers into the narrow gap and pull the two halves apart HARD. This is a great method of protecting the contents during shipment. Very effective.The server is exactly how it was pictured and described. (I saw that someone else didn't get the DVD drive. Mine does have it.) It's spotless inside and out, and in perfect physical condition. It passed POST, and went through the diags I DL'd from HP with flying colors. At this point, I have my server up, running, configured for RAID5, OS installed, running the first of several VMs that it will be hosting. This should work very well for my needs. I've already upgraded RAM to 64GB in preparation for the VMs.

InFreakinCredible deal from PC Server & Parts
By Big Rob
I've bought two of these from PC Server & Parts. Shipping package is excessive, but well protected. Everything spun up, pressed F8 at the right moment to get into RAID config, to see everything was already setup as RAID 50. Both came with CD ROM (might be DVD, but I only used CD). Linux loaded quickly, and I have instant servers. $179 is an insanely good deal for a home server. I use generic black rails with wings on them, from Amazon. I hate sliding rails, as I'm always tinkering, and they are a pain to use alone. Wish the server has usb 3 or esata, but for this price I'll suck it up and use iscsi for disk storage.

Some scarce fruits are so expensive in Japan the locals buy them only as luxury gifts.
This perhaps goes some way to explaining how a single bunch of grapes yesterday fetched a record £465 - the equivalent of £13 per grape.
A hotel manager paid that amount for a 1.5lb of Ruby Roman grapes to serve guests.
"We believe the price was probably a record high," said local agricultural official Hirofumi Isu.
"They're delicious - sweet but fresh at the same time, very well balanced."
Fruitcake? A handful of new Ruby Roman grapes which sold for £460 in Japan
The tomato-coloured grapes made their debut at an auction in Japan's northwestern Ishikawa prefecture, where they have been under development since 1994 in a state-led project.
The bunch that fetched the top price had about 35 grapes, each slightly smaller than a pingpong ball, Isu said.
The average price for the Ruby Roman grapes at Monday's auction was about £120 a bunch.
Isu said local farmers hope to sell 1,500 bunches, or 1 ton, of the grapes by mid-September.
Fruit is generally expensive in Japan, and people often buy grapes, peaches and melons as luxury gifts.
Japanese are often willing to pay top prices for high-end fruits, especially for the prestige of owning the very first ones of the year.
Monday's prices far exceeded those for the most popular premium variety, Muscat of Alexandria, which sell for as much as £45 a bunch at Tokyo's Ota fruit market, the country's largest, according to Koichi Kato, an official at fruit wholesaler Tokyo Seika Co.
"It could be a congratulatory price for its debut," Kato said of Monday's auction in Ishikawa.
"Tokyo's largest fruit market is very competitive."

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon
All Warm and Fuzzy: 100 Theme Drabbles
By Jessa Martin
#92 Apron
"Come on, Mamoru, just put it on!" Motoki thrust the offensive article of clothing toward his friend.
"There's no way I'm putting that thing on! Let me wear yours instead; after all, I'm doing you a favor by filling in for Unazuki. There's no way you'd be able to serve all these customers by yourself," Mamoru pointed out to an increasingly frazzled looking Motoki.
Motoki looked around anxiously. He knew Mamoru was right; the Crown arcade was practically overflowing with customers waiting to be served and Motoki's sister, but more importantly his number one waitress, Unazuki, had just called in sick. Although Motoki was on the edge of a nervous breakdown, his sanity was holding on by a string – an apron string to be exact. Even though the situation was quickly becoming a full-fledged catastrophe, Motoki was comforted by two constants in his life: his favorite red apron and his trusty rag for wiping down the countertop, and he was not about to hand over his apron to Mamoru no matter how big of a favor he was doing him.
Looking down at the "Kiss the Cook" apron, complete with a fire-red lip pattern, he was wringing in his hands, Motoki tried desperately to think of a way to get Mamoru to put it on when he suddenly remembered where he had gotten it from. "You know, Mamoru, Usagi-chan gave this to me as a gift after she visited some family members in the United States. She told me how adorable she thought it was and how great it would be a great reminder to my female customers to 'thank me' for providing such great service."
Mamoru raised an eyebrow and gave Motoki a skeptical look.
"I stopped wearing it after Reika and I started dating, but whenever I would wear it Usagi-chan would always give me a kiss after I brought her a chocolate milkshake."
At that moment the arcade doors slid open and Usagi herself bounced in happily with her pigtails swinging from side to side.
Mamoru froze for a moment as he watched the girl skip about happily then practically flying tackled Motoki as he snatched the apron out of his hands.
"Just remember, I get to take her order."

And this is imho very difficult to explain. We will get thousands of requests saying: "Why can't this nice Cocoon not find my stylesheet"? My first idea was to do it the other way round, so if you want to access a resource of the current sitemap (not the sitemap the VPC is defined in) you use a special protocol (I just name it 'current' for the sake of the example): <map:virtual-generator type="foo"> <map:generate src="current:{src}"/> <map:act type="lang-select"> <map:transform type="i18n"/> </map:act> <map:transform type="xslt" src="stylesheets/{bar}.xsl/> </map:virtual-generator> If in the example from above, {src} is relative, it's resolved relative to the current sitemap; if it's absolute 'current:' is ignored. But for me this looks a little bit ugly as well... Hmmm. Carsten

And the union body warned that plans to weaken the right to request flexible working risk giving the green light to employers to abandon family-friendly practices.
The warning came in the TUC's submission to a Government consultation, ending today, on proposals to allow mothers and fathers to share parental leave.
Under the changes - due to come into effect in 2015 - once the early weeks of maternity and paternity leave have ended, parents will be able to share their overall leave allowance between them, dividing it up in the way that suits them best.
Employers today warned that the changes could impose additional burdens on business.
Alexander Ehmann, head of regulation at the Institute of Directors, said: "The IoD strongly supports flexible working and efforts to expand the talent pool available to employers. In principle, we also support shared parental leave, providing the administration of the leave is not burdensome to employers.
"Unfortunately, though, the Government is implementing these proposals in a way that will add to the complexity and cost of managing workforces. This contradicts the pro-growth, deregulatory message that we keep hearing from ministers."
The TUC raised concerns that mothers could lose out financially if the current 52-week statutory maternity leave is replaced by an 18-week period of designated leave for mothers, after which time at home can be shared between parents.
Nearly 60 per cent of working mothers currently receive contractual maternity pay above the statutory minimum - the vast majority of them for 26 weeks, said the TUC.
Reducing the designated period to 18 weeks could lead mean-spirited employers to slash costs by reducing the length of contractual maternity pay too, it warned, urging the Government to set the designated period at 26 weeks.
The TUC welcomed plans to extend to all workers the right to request flexible hours, currently enjoyed only by parents of children under 17 and disabled children under 18.
But it warned that a proposal to remove minimum legal standards which ensure that requests are given a fair hearing could encourage employers to reject them without proper consideration.
TUC general secretary Brendan Barber said: "While ministers deserve credit for suggesting new family-friendly policies such as longer periods of fathers' leave, other proposals on flexible working could undermine this and turn the clock back.
"Weakening the right to request flexible working will give bad employers the wrong message and is the excuse they've been looking for to ignore requests.
"The Government should remember how successful and popular this right has been for parents over the last decade and put their needs ahead of the same old carping from business lobbyists.
"The Government also needs to steer clear of such large reductions in the designated period of maternity leave, as it could effectively lead to a huge pay cut for new mothers who currently benefit from contractual maternity pay.
"With family finances already hit by tax credit cuts and high inflation this is the last thing that new parents need."
A Department for Business, Innovation and Skills spokesman said: "Earlier this year we launched a consultation on our plans to extend the right to request flexible working to all and introduce a new system of flexible parental leave from 2015.
"This consultation closes today (Monday August 8) and we will be outlining our next steps when we publish the Government response later this year.
"The opportunity to embrace flexible working is essential to a successful and competitive labour market."
