We enter the third week of the competition and this time, the all stars are responsible for every bit of the performance. Apparently, the stars think that means props and silly costumes. WHAT ABOUT THE DANCING? Oh, those dances are also inspired by performances previously seen on the show. There's also a lot at stake this week: not one but TWO couples will go home Tuesday! Brooke promised two bombshells during the show. Keep an eye on the recap for those.
COUPLE: Drew & Anna
DANCE: Cha Cha Cha
This was inspired by Joey McIntyre's dance from season one. Drew wants to make it like a concert. He wants pyro. I'm scared. They borrowed Beyonce's wind machine! Anna lost half her costume (on purpose). And after some dancing, Drew's shirt was ripped open. Drew even worked in a little b-boy move at the end. Super fun! I'm going to go out on a limb and say the them for the night will be shirtless fellas.
Len said he liked Drew's concept and content. He said it was terrific. Bruno said something about "Magic Mike." (I hit rewind four times and still couldn't figure it out) He said if it worked for Channing Tatum, it works for Drew. Carrie Ann loved the b-boy moves and the freestyle. She said the cha cha moves were tight and precise.
COUPLE: Gilles & Peta
DANCE: Tango
This dance was inspired by Erin's tango from season ten. Gilles started off in a harness, floating around the stage. Once that was over, he seemed to float, kick and spin around the dance floor. He made this look easy! Wow!
Bruno said it was strong, dominant, erotic, powerful, 50 shades of Gilles. He said Gilles lost his footing a few times. Carrie Ann said Gilles is good at the drama. She did say they were out of sync and wobbled. Len said their hold could have been tighter and the footwork could have been better. Still, he liked it.
COUPLE: Melissa & Tony
DANCE: Samba
This dance was inspired by JR's dance from season 13. Holy stunts! I think I got a bruise from just watching their rehearsal! Melissa came to play, y'all! This was the most complicated dance so far! I don't think they had a single misstep! She is incredibly strong to pull off those crazy moves!
Carrie Ann said it was fantastic. Len said it was like a can of cola – fizzy, refreshing, satisfying. Bruno said Melissa is a samba sensation. He said Melissa did the choreography like a star.
SCORE: 27 (highest score of the season)
COUPLE: Apolo & Karina
DANCE: Fox Trot
This dance was inspired by Gilles's dance from season eight. Apolo decided Karina should be a statue that comes to life. I realized I hadn't written a word about this, so I hit rewind to watch it a second time. Apolo had this dance from head to toe – literally. Speechless.
Len said it had fluidity of movement, great musicality, he wanted cleaner placement of feet. Still, he said it was a terrific dance. Bruno said it was sensual, classy. He said sometimes Apolo tensed slightly. Carrie Ann said it's going to be one of the dances they'll never forget. Carrie Ann liked Apolo's arms.
COUPLE: Kelly & Val
DANCE: Paso Doble
This dance was inspired by Laili's dance from season four. Last week, Carrie Ann told Kelly to dance bigger. It looks like she did that. Every bit of her small frame was stretched and she strutted around the stage like she was bigger than life! Sooo good!
Bruno said it was the defining performance for Kelly. Carrie Ann said they're the couple to watch. She said they smacked the paso doble's booty. Len asked where it came from. He said Kelly had terrific expression through her face and beautiful musicality through her arms.
BOMBSHELL #1: Next Monday, a special guest judge will get a paddle – Paul Abdul.
COUPLE: Kirstie & Maks
DANCE: Cha Cha Cha
This dance was inspired by Carson's dance from season 13. Kirstie chose to put Maks in tight pants. And a bad wig. Her hair is a bit crazy, too. But looking past all those things, this is the beset dance Kirstie has ever done! And there she goes smooching again! This time, Maks got her lips.
Carrie Ann said it was the most fun she's had all night. She said cha cha is Kirstie's best dance. Len said he wants the celebrities to be in charge of choreography every week. He said it was the whole package. Bruno said Kirstie is fully loaded with fun. He said Maks is like an extra from "Boogie Nights."
COUPLE: Sabrina & Louis
DANCE: Paso Doble
This dance was inspired by Mel B.'s dance from season five. I wanted to really like this, but it felt so frantic – like Sabrina was stomping around and kicking way too much. I didn't think she was finishing some of the steps. She almost tripped over the back of her costume. I didn't hate it, but it felt off.
Len said it was full of risks, but it was full of great technique. Bruno said it had maximum fire power, strength and a touch of Scary Spice. Carrie Ann said she didn't feel like Sabrina brought anything new. She wanted an element of surprise, but thought it was outstanding dancing.
COUPLE: Emmitt & Cheryl
DANCE: Paso Doble

Dallas >Food & Dining > Gordo's Italian / American Restaurant
8220 Westchester, Dallas, TX | Directions 7522532.862896 -96.806542
Sun-Thu 11am-10pm
Fri-Sat 11am-11pm
Bully and Tyrant Owner – Recently, I had the misfortune to dine at Gordo's with my family who were visiting from out of town. When we arrived, the Owner was sitting in a chair near the front door….asleep. When he awoke from his nap, he jumped up to greet us. He showed us to our table and when my mother commented to the server that she felt the house wine was overpriced. The Owner proceeded to come to our table and lecture us that his rent is $500/day and he pays $3.50 for that glass of HOUSE wine and then $0.90 tax. Clearly we must look like we just fell off the turnip truck. Then we witnessed him chastising the wait staff in front of customers. This man is a TYRANT and a BULLY to his staff and his clients. Admittedly, the food was good and our server did everything she could to make up for the Owners ignorance and lack of class. It was clear why the restaurant was nearly empty. He will never have to worry about me or anyone I know darkening his door ever again.
horrible experience – I bought a coupon to use at this restaurant. This is the only reason we ate there.
I got the spaghetti with meat sauce. Yuk. awful.
When I gave the coupon to the server the manager came out and said "where did you get this". He kept leaving and coming back like he couldn't find the information. Bottom line he wouldn't honor the coupon.
His employees commented on his actions. Guess he's not a good employer.
Anyway will NEVER go back.
Gordo's Rocks! - Well Done – Wow! My wife and I just had dinner at Gordo?, Preston Center for the first time, we took my mom and dad as a treat and boy were we pleased; I don?t know why we haven?t been here before. Everything, especially my seafood pasta was simply wonderful. The service was excellent every need was anticipated and George the General Manager made us feel special. Everything was priced very reasonable. GREAT FOOD ? GREAT SERVICE ? GREAT PRICE ? We we?ll be back soon.
Howling Good Place – This is the place we have been looking for for a long time. Id does not have the big open room that most heve. You feel like you are in the place almost all by yourselves. The food is great but the rest makes one of a kind. This is the way to go for dining out.
Great relaxing place to enjoy with family and friends – Gordos is a great place to enjoy a relaxing lunch with family or friends. The staff is great and very attentive and makes you feel at home. My family and I had the " Great White Pizza and I most say it is the best around. I recommend this place and tell your friends:)
Gotta try the Great White Pizza! – We make it a point to visit Gordo's if we find ourselves in Dallas, and we are never disappointed. My favorite dish is the Great WHite Pizza with a side of the house dressing, a rich-tasting tarragon vinagrette that makes the house salad a real treat.
Fabulous Italian Dining – My husband always impresses me whenever he takes me on a date to Gordo's. Both of us enjoy the wonderful hospitality all of the wait staff shows. Next time you visit Gordo's, be sure to try the tomato basil soup, and their world-famous variety pizza; these two fine selections will surely delight your taste buds.
Five Stars for Gordo's – Our family loves Gordos. The atmosphere is cozy and the food is delicious. We have always been served in a timely manner and with great care. My favorites are the Greek salad, The Great White Pizza, and the mouthwatering steak. This restaurant gets five stars!
Fantastic!! – I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal at Gordo's. We live in Fort Worth, so whenever we make it out to Gordo's we always order extra to take home. The house salad dressing is the best I have ever had the opportunity to try. Their Greek salad is incredible and the pizza is fantastic. You can never go wrong ordering the specials, either. I am so glad they have re-opened!!
great food and service for the money! – We recently went to Gordos for dinner with my brother and sister-in law in Dallas (we are from Fort Worth). They recommended it as a decent place to go. We were so pleasantly surprised to find this little gem. The food was GREAT, and Ivan was one of the BEST waiters we have ever had at any restaurant...he was attentive and fun. I had the Chicken Artichoke, and my wife had the Rainbow Trout Almondine. Both were really tasty and perfectly cooked. My in-laws had a Gourmet Combo Pizza that they shared. GREAT VALUE, GREAT TIME and GREAT TASTE. Try it, you'll like it!

William Clark informs Indian nations that the U.S. has won the war.
Letters and Documents Informing the Indians of the End of the War of 1812, St. Louis, May 15, 1815
After returning from the 1804-1806 expedition with Meriwether Lewis, William Clark was appointed U.S. Superintendent of Indian Affairs (1807-1813), governor of Missouri Territory (1813-1821), and then Superintendent of Indian Affairs again (1822-1838). During the War of 1812 he tried unsuccessfully to keep the British out of Wisconsin. When it was over, he informed the Indian nations of Upper Mississippi Valley that the U.S. had won, and that they were to no longer make treaties or trade furs with the British.

{how it's made: guatemalan textiles}
Gertrudis left school at a young age and was sent to sell handcrafts in the local artisan market near her town of Santa Catarina Palopo in Guatemala. She soon learned Spanish, in addition to her native Kaquchikel. For 7 years, she became an expert salesperson, and learned more about the opportunities that speaking Spanish could bring her. She now weaves her own pieces from home and, due to her access to microcredit loans, she wants to invest in renting a small artisan shop in the local lakeside market.
Weaving in Guatemala has played an integral role in the lives of the over 25 Mayan people groups in Guatemala. The highly intricate designs communicate their personal identity, their heritage, and their ideological beliefs. In pre-Columbian times, only the elite classes could own or wear ornately woven cloth and clothing. Today, weaving has become a cornerstone in the economic survival of both households and villages.
The art of natural dye making has been a long standing tradition in the Lago de Atitlan region. Local leaves, flowers, and bark are boiled, their natural colors extracted, and the yarn is dyed to create an entirely organic process.
Each scarf in our collection is woven using handlooms the women make and the textiles take anywhere from 4-8 hours to create.
Paulina says that three years ago she needed a break, and a microcredit loan offered her an opportunity she had not previously had. The microcredit loan enabled her to buy enough quantity to buy direct when purchasing material for her weavings. This allowed her to keep more of her earnings.She has been able to build up her finished goods inventory so that she can now sell to coops in San Juan. The power of microenterprise! She hopes that her income can continue to provide an education for her daughters and enable them to make a better income than her some day.

For the past two seasons, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga defense statistically has been among the elite in the Southern Conference and one of the best in the Football Championship Subdivision.
The Mocs' offense, meanwhile, has been in the bottom half of the SoCon during that period. As Mocs coach Russ Huesman continues his search for a new offensive coordinator following Marcus Satterfield's departure to Temple University, he does so with an eye on making the offense one of the SoCon's best as well.
"We did enough on offense to be good enough to win," Huesman said of the 2012 season, in which UTC went 6-5 (5-3 SoCon) and lost one game by a field goal and two others in overtime. "Now, is that going to be enough next year? I don't know, but we've got to get better on offense. We've got to build on what we did last year."
The Mocs switched to the spread offense last season, and Huesman has said the next offensive coordinator will be a veteran play-caller and have some experience running a spread system. Four candidates have been interviewed so far, and Huesman said a decision could be made within a week.
Quarterback Jacob Huesman carried a heavy load during his redshirt freshman season. After taking over as the starter in week 2, he rushed for a team-high 904 yards and seven touchdowns and completed 167 of 256 passes for 1,712 yards, with 13 touchdowns and five interceptions.
Between him and Terrell Robinson, who split time between quarterback and wide receiver, the quarterback ran the ball 247 times last season. That's too many, Coach Huesman said.
"I don't know if our quarterback can run it 200 times next year," he said. "I don't think he should. That's what we needed to do this year and we did it. Next year, I'm hoping that's not the case."
The offense loses a four-year starter at right tackle in Adam Miller and a consistent running back in J.J. Jackson. Otherwise, it returns everyone from the group that was fifth in the SoCon in scoring (25.5 points per game) and No. 8 in total offense (349.8 yards per game).
With the players UTC has returning, Jacob Huesman said that "this looks like one of the best opportunities that we'll have to assert ourselves in the SoCon."
Wide receivers coach Will Healy said the 2012 season was a learning experience for the offense. UTC has to continue to use Jacob Huesman and Robinson effectively and get others around them contributing more. Robinson led the Mocs with 40 catches for 489 yards and five touchdowns while also completing 30 of 44 passes and rushing 52 times for 222 yards.
"I think obviously the quarterback run aspect of what we will do will be huge for Jacob and for making sure Terrell is involved," Healy said. "Those are two of our most dynamic players and we've got to make sure we continue to create ways to get the ball in their hands."

Pink Spot opened in June, 2008, by local residents Mark and Julie, who saw a need for a unique coffeehouse/dessert shop in the heart of midtown Phoenix – a place where friends from the local neighborhoods and local businesses can gather for a chat over a cup of coffee or scoop of ice cream. A place where kids are welcome. A place where folks can study or work. A place where you can run into your neighbor or your coworker.
Part of what makes Pink Spot special is its gourmet coffee, roasted locally and specifically for Pink Spot by Coffee Roasters of Arizona to ensure the beans reach your cup as fresh as possible. Pink Spot uses an Italian inspired Siena Espresso, full in flavor and body, but low in acidity, for all its espresso drinks and French Roast, a dark, rich bean, for its drip coffee.
Similarly, on the ice cream side, Pink Spot proudly offers a gourmet, super premium (16% butterfat) ice cream made locally by a small mom & pop creamery. Many of the flavors are made just for Pink Spot. While you will find the usual standards like chocolate, mint chip, coffee and blueberry cheesecake, Pink Spot also likes to go a bit funky and surprise you with flavors like habanero peach sorbet, Blue Moon (think Fruity Pebbles), lemon meringue pie, salted caramel, and chocolate raspberry zinfandel.
Pink Spot offers breakfast throughout the day, including made to order egg sandwiches on locally baked bagels, breakfast burritos, waffles, lox and bagels, Greek yogurt & granola parfaits, fresh baked goods and cereals. We also have a variety of vegetarian breakfast/lunch offerings and five delicious made to order wraps available all day long. We can deliver any of these items too.

This past weekend I took a very brief trip to the Chicago area for a good friend's graduation. My wife and I received a call Friday night informing us that our hotel reservation for the next day in Bolingbrook, Illinois could not be honored because the hotel had an issue with flooding. After re-booking at a hotel in Naperville, and a subsequent search for bottle shops in the area, I discovered (much to my delight) that the Two Brothers Tap House was less than two miles from my room in near-by Warrenville, Illinois.
The Tap House is located in a nondescript, white building tucked away in the corner of an industrial complex off Route 56 in Warrenville. It is easy enough to locate with GPS, but it's not in a location where you might stumble upon it without looking for it specifically. There are no other bars or restaurants in the immediate area (at least not that I saw), but this is a brewery, so as such I'd say it is appropriately located.
I popped into the Tap House on Saturday night for a beer or two after a very busy day. Two Brothers beer is available locally in Columbus, OH, so I asked the bartender if they had anything exclusive to the Tap House, or any beers that are not widely distributed outside the Chicago area. He suggested the Two Brothers 16th Anniversary Belgium Strong Ale.
In honor of their 16th Anniversary, the goal for this Strong Ale was to reach an ABV of 16%. The bartender (who's name, saddly, escapes me) explained that, although it's listed as 16%, it may not actually be that potent. However, the man sitting next to me at the bar (a chef who has worked with the brewery to supply beer to his restaurant) said that the ABV is actually higher than 16%. Either way, suffice it to say that this is a very strong beer.
I won't go point-by-point on this beer as I normally do because, honestly, I was just more interested in relaxing and enjoying my beer than concentrating on every detail. However, I will say that it was was very big, had lots a great, complex flavors from the malt and a nice hop balance. Also, I was expecting it to be very astringent given the high alcohol content, but there was very little burn at all on the finish. This is a very delicious beer, and if you enjoy Tripels and have a chance you should give it a try.
I also had an Outlaw IPA at the Tap House, but I really don't have much to say about it. After a 16% beer, I don't fully trust my taste buds enough to give you a full review. I can say that it was not exactly memorable, and I would likely call it an average IPA. Having said that, I'd like to grab a six pack of it and give it another shot.
I was at the bar late in the evening so I didn't order any food, but that aside, I really enjoyed the Two Brothers Tap House. It was clean, well decorated, and had nice-sized, lively crowd. The windows into the brewery and the adjacent gift shop are nice touches that let you know this is not an average bar or restaurant. Given the chance, I'd like to go back for a tour the next time I'm in Chicago. If you've been to the Two Brothers Tap House, what were your impressions?

Power Consumption: approximately 156 Watts.
Warranty: 1-Year Manufacturer`s Limited Warranty.
Product Highlights:
1. Superior Lighting Control: With 10 individual set-points, the built-in controller produces much more realistic dawn-dusk and daylight simulations than non-dimmable fixtures.
2. Unbeatable Performance: Superior design and high-end components produce 50% more light than most other equally-sized T5 fixtures. An active cooling system allows bulbs to run at a more optimal temperature, improving both bulb output and bulb life.
3. Plug & Play: With the built-in controller there is nothing more to buy.
4. Clean, Contemporary Design: The slim, silver colored body is lightweight, durable, rust-proof and just 2.1" high. All components including the controller and T5 ballasts are built into the fixture housing with the only item external to the fixture being a single power-cord.
5. Energy Efficient: Produces up to 50% more light than most other equally sized T5 fixtures, without using more energy.
6. Quiet, Cool Operation: Runs cool and produces virtually no noise.
Why T5's:
1. Tried and True Method: T5`s are a proven method for growing all types of coral including sps corals and clams.
2. More Vibrant Colors: Compared to other lighting options T5 bulbs come in a wide variety of unique color spectrums which offers greater flexibility and more options for enhancing each corals unique color. And with T5 bulbs costing about $20 each, it's inexpensive to "play" with different color combinations.
3. Superior Light Balance: T5`s are a linear source of light, not a point source of light so corals don`t have a particular point to grow towards. This produces corals that are typically much fuller than corals grown under point sources of light like metal halides or LED's.
4. Save Money: With a lower up-front cost than high-end metal halide and LED systems and the low cost of bulb replacements, a T5 system is typically cheaper to purchase and operate than a comparable metal halide set-up and typically on PAR with a comparable LED system.

PASADENA, Calif.—The public is invited to attend one or both of the upcoming meetings July 12 and July 14 regarding preparation for the draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) by the City's Public Works Department on the Hahamongna area of Upper Arroyo Seco.
The City of Pasadena's Public Works Department will prepare the draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and community participation is a critical part of the EIR process.
These meetings are being held prior to drafting the EIR document to maximize public participation and community input. The two meetings are planned for 6:30 p.m., Thursday, July 12 and 10:00 a.m., Saturday, July 14. Both meetings will be held at the Salvation Army Fellowship Hall, 960 East Walnut St., Pasadena, CA 91106. Parking is available on Mentor Avenue, south of Walnut Street.
The previously approved Hahamongna Watershed Park (HWP) Master Plan, one of the City Council-adopted Arroyo Seco Plans, outlines a number of projects for the park, but the environmental review needs to occur before those projects can proceed.
For more information on the proposed Hahamongna projects or the draft Environmental Impact Report, go online to www.hahamongna.com/mbmu or call (626) 744-4321. Comments can be submitted by email to: firstname.lastname@example.com, or in writing to City of Pasadena, Public Works Department, Attn: Engineering Division – MBMU Project, 100 N.

BARRIE - A 42-year-old woman went to a cheque-cashing business Friday night to settle up her loan.
She handed over cheques for a loan, and showed an allegedly forged bank statement in order to prove she had the money to cover those cheques. Police said her bank account was already closed and she was charged with fraud and false pretences. The woman is already on bail for previous fraud charges.

Women's groups can help to retain students and can provide an infrastructure for local activism. This brief guide discusses how to get a group started and to build its structure, the importance of maintaining an open and public presence, possible activities, ways to build membership, and the value of affiliating with other groups.
Girls in IT: The Facts, sponsored by NCWIT's K-12 Alliance, is a synthesis of the existing literature on increasing girls' participation in computing. It aims to bring together this latest research so that readers can gain a clearer and more coherent picture of 1) the current state of affairs for girls in computing, 2) the key barriers to increasing girls' participation in these fields, and 3) promising practices for addressing these barriers.
Supervising-in-a-Box: Employee Recruitment/Selection provides supervisors with resources for recruiting and hiring the best talent. This "Box" includes background information, a training guide, tip sheets, resources for employee recruitment and selection, templates, evaluation tools, and a summary of key takeaways.
This workbook presents some guidelines for strategically planning a multi-pronged approach to retain females — and all students — in undergraduate computing programs of study.
This resource features ten ways male advocates say they support technical women and promote diversity efforts in their organizations. Use the ideas to influence your own efforts.
View online.
Computer Science — not computer literacy — underlies most innovation today, yet the majority of U.S. schools require only that students use computers. Computer science teaches students design, logical reasoning, and problem solving — all valuable well beyond the computer science classroom. This resource provides information about the value of computer science curriculum for students, educators, local and national economies as well as global society. It offers steps schools can take to successfully incorporate computer science education.
Encouragement increases self-efficacy, which is the belief in one's ability to successfully perform a task. Because we are more likely to engage in tasks that we believe we can perform successfully, encouragement may be especially useful for attracting women to male-stereotyped fields such as computing. Encouragement is a powerful tool for increasing employee confidence and engagement, but it seems to be underutilized in the workforce. The example in this case study illustrates the profound positive impact a simple encouraging conversation can have on a career.
High-tech startups typically use one of five types of employment models, reflecting their founders' ideas about hiring and managing employees. These models can have long-lasting effects on firms and predict the trajectory of women's representation among core technical staff. This research paper looks at the five models, identifies which are most congenial to hiring women, and points out correlations between competitive business models and meritocratic hiring.
This brief, easy-to-share resource highlights the top ten evidence-based ways to retain undergraduate students in computing.
Encouragement increases self-efficacy, which is the belief in one's ability to successfully perform a task. Because we are more likely to engage in tasks that we believe we can perform successfully, encouragement may be especially useful for attracting women to male-stereotyped fields such as computing. Simple though encouragement is, fewer than half of the faculty members in the average computer science department in the United States say they do it.
Women in IT: The Facts, sponsored by NCWIT's Workforce Alliance, brings together the latest findings from recent research on technical women. This report gives you:
Research shows that even individuals committed to equality harbor unconscious biases that impact everyday decisions and interactions. In the IT workplace, unconscious gender bias can mislead employers, both male and female, to make inaccurate judgments in hiring, performance reviews, and promotion. This case study focuses on the profound effect unconscious bias can have on the recruitment and selection process — from crafting and distribution of job postings to interviewing and hiring. Steps are offered for overcoming this bias.
Women in scientific disciplines face challenges that range from institutionalized bias to differences in communication styles and a lack of female role models. Mentoring-in-a-Box: Women Faculty in Computing can help you start and sustain a successful mentoring relationship.
This resource highlights ten important recommendations supervisors or managers can readily adopt to improve visibility of their employees. These recommendations are particularly useful for improving the visibility of women, as well as employees from other underrepresented groups.
Engage students not already drawn to computing by creating academic and social environments where these students feel like they belong. Students respond positively to solving real-life problems that draw on their existing knowledge and interests and that involve collaboration in hands-on projects. The middle school computing curriculum in Colorado's Boulder Valley School District uses Scalable Game Design to introduce computer programming.

Does anyone know if this is available online anywhere?
Views: 131
I was initially reluctant to pose this question through fear of some smart ass being a smart ass about it.
I hope you feel good about yourself
I'm not sure if you were aiming to put me into a guilt trip, but really, I was being helpful by doing that. If you saw the video search, there were a few clips from the performance.
Now, maybe I could have come forward with an actual source of where you could find it, but really all that really would take me is Googling it for you. It would only mean that I had the patience to actually go through with it. And judging by the lack of response to this thread (it was 2 hours ago that I responded) at least I went out of my way to help a little bit, although I was being a smart ass. I'll admit that. :)
I actually tried Google before I came here and to no avail. I'm looking for the concert in it's entirety.
I thought it wasn't an unreasonable request considering this is meant to be a fan site .......

Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) Director Joseph Costigan presented a Governor's Award for Excellence Occupational Health and Safety Award posthumously to Russ W. Ridder, former IDOT Safety Training Manager who passed away in 2011 and was recently nominated for the award. The Governor's Award recognizes the contributions and efforts of individuals who have made a significant impact on occupational safety and health in downstate Illinois. Dir. Costigan presented the award to Ridder's widow, Nanci, at the 23rd Annual Downstate Illinois Occupational Safety & Health (DIOSH) Day event on Wednesday, March 5.
Governor Pat Quinn today was joined by actor Martin Sheen to continue his ongoing fight to raise Illinois' minimum wage from $8.25 to at least $10. Last year the Governor proposed raising the minimum wage in his 2013 State of the State address and today's visit to Chicago's historic St. Pius V Church is part of his agenda to build an economy that works for everyone.
The Illinois Department of Labor is highlighting changes to labor laws that are effective as of January 1, 2014. These changes include an increase in the number of years contractors, subcontractors and the public body must maintain Prevailing Wage records on a project. and additional reporting requirements for filing certified payrolls with the Department. Also, all claims filed under the Wage Payment and Collection Act - regardless of amount - will be heard through the Department's formal hearing process. The Employee Classification Act (ECA), which now allows for a formal hearing process to take place during Investigations, adds a personal liability clause for knowingly violating the Act and updates reporting requirements. In addition to the remedial benefits for loss of wages and benefits misclassified employees may be entitled under the Act, 10% of the civil penalties recovered by the Department will now be distributed to all affected employees.
On Friday, February 21, 2014 the Illinois Supreme Court released a decision in Bartlow v. Costigan holding the Illinois Employee Classification Act to be Constitutional. The Employee Classification Act, referred to as ECA, prohibits the improper classification of employees who work in the construction industry as independent contractors. The penalties under the Act for misclassification can be up to $1,000 per day for each person misclassified. The full Act, which was recently amended and includes reporting requirements effective January 1, 2015, can be found here.

Dual nationality
Print Story
Published: 4/13/2007 6:36 pm
Updated: 4/13/2007 6:36 pm
If you have dual nationality, it simply means that you're considered a citizen under the laws of two countries at the same time. You may have received dual nationality because you were born in a country different from where your parents are citizens and thus automatically acquired citizenship from the country you were born in and the country in which your parents were born. You may also acquire dual citizenship through marriage or by becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen and keeping the citizenship of the country of your birth. Generally, each country bases its citizenship laws on its own policies. Thus, if you have dual nationality, you owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign country and must obey the laws of both nations. Dual nationality may allow you to take advantage of travel, business, and employment opportunities offered in each country. However, you won't be entitled to special privileges, as each country will treat you as if you were a citizen of that country alone. As a result, you may have legal obligations to both countries regarding taxes, military service, and travel restrictions. To avoid complications, it's strongly recommended that you check all citizenship laws before choosing to travel to and from either country, as laws of foreign countries regarding U.S. citizens with dual nationality may conflict with U.S. law and result in limiting the U.S. Government's efforts to assist citizens abroad. Keep in mind that most countries will allow you to renounce or give up your citizenship to claim citizenship in another country. In some cases, a country will automatically revoke your citizenship if you acquire another country's citizenship, whether you formally renounce it or not. U.S. laws don't require you to choose one citizenship over another. The only way you may choose to lose your U.S. citizenship is if you voluntarily give it up to claim foreign citizenship in a country that restricts dual nationality. Furthermore, although individuals naturalized as U.S. citizens will be required to renounce any former citizenship ties to other countries during the naturalization process, they may choose later to regain citizenship in the country of their origin without losing their U.S. citizenship status.

David Livingstone letter reveals explorer ate elephant
The private letter was written by David Livingstone in 1861.
A letter which describes how David Livingstone killed and ate an elephant during a African expedition has sold for 28,800 Pound at auction.
The Scots-born explorer wrote the 12-page missive to British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston in November 1861.
It tells how his party on the famous Zambezi expedition of 1858-1864 killed an elephant for food and then saw the rest of the herd apparently mourning.
The letter fetched more than treble its estimated price at Bonhams in London.
In it, Livingstone reveals a series of incidents, including being robbed by "professional" thieves who struck just before dawn.
He said the local people appeared to be afraid to kill elephants for the ivory, as the animals were "not disturbed by the presence of man".
"When we killed one for food the rest of the herd stood a mile off for two days," he wrote.
"Elsewhere they would not have stood within 30 or 40 miles."
'Poisoned arrows'
Livingstone's letter describes in detail the trip of August to November 1861.
It gives an account of an encounter with a party of Zulus, noting "evidence of their vengeance on the people of the country were abundant...they were as much afraid of me as our men were of them."
He told how the expedition came under attack from Ajawa people.
"We were at once surrounded and showers of poisoned arrows shot at us," he wrote.
"We were obliged to act in self defence and drive them off."
Livingstone also reveals how he sampled an unusual native dish, made of insects "like our smallest gnats".
He said: "The people actually collect these minute creatures and boil them into cakes, which have the flavour of locusts and taste like fish."
The letter was expected to sell for between 7,000 to ;9,000 Pound.
A Bonhams spokesman said it was not surprising it had been "eagerly sought after".
"The letter is full of fascinating insights about Livingstone and his famous expedition - not least that he and his party ate elephant," he added.

Queen Elizabeth celebrates birthdays on the same grounds but, even if QEII forever became a Bond girl at Friday's Olympic opening ceremony, I bet none of her bashes ever resembled an Olympic beach volleyball game here.
They danced the conga during timeouts. They blared music from Chelsea Dagger and The Beach Boys and LMFAO. A bloke with a microphone constantly exhorted the crowd, which included men in togas starting the wave. Women dancers in bikinis entertained fans by gyrating and rolling in the sand.
Funny thing happened to me on the way to an Olympic event: I stumbled into an MTV taping of "Spring Break, Buckingham Palace." Seldom will you sense an atmosphere go from buttoned-down to pumped-up quicker than walking from Westminster Abbey into the unique venue at these Games.
"This place has gone bonkers tonight, hasn't it everybody?" the public-address announcer asked as the theme song to"The Benny Hill Show"played.
If you wanted Olympic rivalry on Day 1, you found it in the pool where Ryan Lochte dominated Michael Phelps for the gold in the 400-meter individual medley. But those seeking Olympic revelry came to a manufactured beach plopped in the middle of iconic British landmarks where at times I wondered if I was still at the Games, let alone in stuffy ol' England.
Will they lead winners of beach-volleyball gold to a medal stand or keg stand?
Technically, the site is a 15,000-seat stadium at Horse Guards Parade where the U.S. men's and women's beach volleyball teams opened play with victories over South Africa and Australia, respectively. Realistically, it was "Baywatch," meets Big Ben at the Olympics and makes him blush. Over the next fortnight, somebody might consider covering the London Eye, which overlooks nearby.
How were baseball and softball eliminated as Olympic sports before the 2012 Games while beach volleyball was bumped into a prime-time television slot back home? Why do you think the pretty, pony-tailed U.S. team of Misty May-Treanorand Kerri Walsh-Jennings didn't start its match until the ridiculous hour of 11 p.m. locally?
Everybody knows the answer to both is money. Feel free to divvy up blame between NBC and the International Olympic Committee for the ratings monster they have created since beach volleyball became an Olympic sport in 1996 — or credit them if you enjoy a recreation sport loosening up the Olympics. Indeed it can be enjoyable to watch and this was a fun, frolicking way to spend a Saturday night abroad. The enthusiasm created indelible impressions on the athletes too.
"When you hit a good dig you would hear a roar and it kind of unsettled me a bit,'' said American Jake Gibb, who with partner Sean Rosenthal won 21-10, 21-11. "As we were playing, we'd hear Big Ben ringing. Wow."
Walsh-Jennings searched in vain for the right words.
"I'm in awe of where I am right now," she after helping May-Treanor win 21-18, 21-19.
Still, the moment felt more like one that comes around every summer weekend than every four years. The game requires skill and strategy but still always felt more about the show than the score, like the scripted reality TV it essentially is.
Nothing illustrated that more than the suspense surrounding whether May-Treanor and Walsh-Jennings would wear bikinis on a night temperatures dipped below 60 degrees. To the chagrin of network executives who put eye candy on the late-night menu, they didn't — opting for long sleeve blue pullovers on top of red bikini bottoms.
"We warmed up with pants on but Kerri was like, 'I'm getting hot,' " May-Treanor said. "So we took them off."
Meanwhile, the Aussie women surely sent TV folks reaching for the antacid tablets by wearing what amounted to dark yoga pants and white short-sleeve shirts. The combination had a very 2 p.m. first-serve feel to it.
It serves them right. The emphasis on wearing bikinis and appearing on prime-time TV perhaps ultimately benefits the popularity of the game but not the integrity of the sport. To objectify female Olympians diminishes their athletic ability.
What a contrast that message was to the one delivered at Friday's opening ceremony when U.S. flag-bearer Mariel Zagunis led a team that included, for the first time, more women than men.
As fans finally filed out of the stadium just before Big Ben struck midnight, the loudspeaker played Elton John's "Saturday Night's Alright."
True, but this should have been a day at the beach.

SUPREME COURT … What a momentous decision, and how lovely that it was so powerfully decided in Telluride's favor. Kudos to the Town and its attorneys, kudos to all those who worked their butts off fundraising and keeping the faith (and prodding us doubting Thomases along) and kudos most of all to the citizens of Telluride, for whom half a loaf wasn't enough, for whom the gateway entrance to this resort will always remain open and wild and free.
ATTORNEY GENERAL … Colorado's morality police are at it again. The state's Republican Attorney General John Suthers joined Utah, Idaho and several other bastions of intolerance in calling for the California Supreme Court to prevent same-sex marriages from taking place in the wake of the landmark decision last month. Luckily the California Supremes ignored Suthers and crew. Same-sex weddings are slated to begin June 16 at 5 p.m., and San Francisco and other California municipalities are bracing for an onslaught of pent-up demand … Let's hope Colorado can revise its backwards stance and allow every American the freedom to enjoy the same rights to live as married couples, regardless of sexual orientation.
THE ZEPHYR … For all the gentrification, one thing about Moab hadn't changed from its wilder river rat days for the last 20 years, the monthly newspaper called The Canyon Country Zephyr – a one-man operation run by the indefatigable Jim Stiles. As a regular reader and a sometimes contributor, I've long admired (as have many others folks) Jim's willingness to confront issues head on, to speak truth to power and to sometimes be the cutting edge lead on volatile stories. Mix that with his cartoonist skills that bled over into all the advertising and a deep nostalgia for the small Colorado river town before it got "discovered" and you had an editorial policy unlike any other in the Four Corners … It's been a good run. "But," as Jim explained in a recent email, "Moab is not the same town that I knew and revered in 1989. And I am not the same man. Life and issues affecting the Colorado Plateau were very black-and-white to me then. As the Millennium approached, Moab became more than just a tourist mecca; it became something else altogether. The amenities economy, favored and encouraged by mainstream environmentalists as a solution to the economic woes of the rural west, almost made me nostalgic for cows again. I became more troubled and conflicted. And I chose to speak openly and frankly about these conflicts, the hypocrisy of my peers and my own contradictions … And so for the last ten years, I have tried to inform my readers of the impacts the amenities economy can create, even when it put me at odds with my own friends and the very advertisers who keep this paper alive … For New Moab and the amenities economy to flourish, it must continue to grow. Ed Abbey compared it to a cancer cell. In any case, New Moab is hardly in a position to support a publication like mine, just because they think an independent and sometimes cranky voice like The Zephyr needs to survive in our society. There aren't many of us left … I do hold out one hope for The Zephyr's survival, on some level, and it is an odd one, considering my anachronistic ways. I was, after all, one of the last newspapers in Utah to give up cutting and pasting the layout boards and embrace computer technology. But I think an online version of The Zephyr is feasible and I hope to give it a try" … So, next spring, Stiles will be putting out a "Planet Earth" edition, and he's looking for advertisers less interested in Return on Investment (ROI) and more into supporting his independent style of intelligent, quirky, iconoclastic journalism (email@example.com).
IMMORAL WAR TOYS … "Absolutely essential" was the way this administration characterized the U.S.'s manufacture and use of cluster bombs. And so once again Bush has maneuvered the U.S. into a position opposite the vast majority of nations in the world – this time by not supporting a treaty ban on munitions famous for killing innocent civilians, especially children, years after hostilities have ceased. Even our ally Britain signed the treaty in Dublin on May 30, as did 110 other nations … But the U.S., a major manufacturer of the controversial ordinance, joined Russia, China, Israel, India, and Pakistan in opposing the measure … To think that this nation was once the moral leader of the free world – how low we have sunk!
SCOTT MCQUADE … I have to laud our community's tourism marketing director. For years, from my first term of office, when I was on the then marketing organization's board, I've been pushing for a greening of our marketing efforts. It seemed a natural pairing with our environmental strengths. My idea was a Green Map – a national effort that I thought to piggy-back onto. But it never quite jelled. And it wasn't the real answer … Scott correctly assessed our community when he came on board with the newly formed Marketing Telluride, Inc. (thank you, Dirk), as he explained at the recent Intergovernmental meeting (that I participated in by phone and that Ophir ably facilitated for the first time – thank you Randy Barnes), we need to proceed carefully and by measured steps. And he's absolutely right … Telluride is moving toward becoming a green eco-destination, and I think Scott is helping us get there in exactly the right way.
NILAJA SUN … I got a brief break from caring for my dad, as he slowly declines in health, and attended the last stop on the national tour of Nilaja Sun's one-woman theater tour-de-force, No Child…, at the Berkeley Rep a couple weeks ago. Transforming herself into 17 characters with dazzling movements, spirited language, and convincing veracity, Sun showed why this ground-breaking performance last year won her an Obie, a Lucille Lortel Award for Best Solo Performance, the Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best New American Play and for Outstanding Solo Performance, the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival (in Aspen!) Award for Best Solo Show, and the Theater World Award for Best Debut Performance. She was nothing short of phenomenal, eliciting in her audience tears to belly-laughs to everything in between … The show was sold out, she got a standing ovation, and the Rep had to extend the show another week by popular demand … Keep an eye out for this talented writer and performer. You're sure to hear more from her.

After watching another tour de force performance from one of my favorite Hollywood actors, I was presented with a disarming epiphany: GRID is the Nicole Kidman of racing games.
I didn't believe it at first either. But with GRID's fine-lined features, willingness to take on difficult and not always likeable roles, and its overall variety of selective yet class-act performances, this seemingly ethereal analogy began to cement itself. Not to say that Nicole Kidman hasn't run into the odd roadblock or two during her tenure as one of Tinseltown's leading ladies. Which is to admit that developer Codemasters didn't race away without erecting the occasional roadblock for its GRID actors either.
The first roadblock I encountered wasn't those initial gravel-choked elbows in France's Circuit de la Sarthe during my maiden 24 Hours of Le Mans. It wasn't those anime angles drifting around Japan's Yokohama Docks. It was, in fact, the seemingly innocuous test-run time trial. These trials, to the novice driver, are not your friend. And in racing games--a genre seemingly absent end bosses--those acutely-sharpened minutes and seconds are GRID's equivalent of a low-level bad guy. The clock face reading 01:37.00 for one particular event was my minutes/seconds/hundredths Shadow of the Colossus. Every hard-braking corner and subsequent stretch of gray asphalt was my God of War quick time event. And that checkered flag at the end of those short hauls was my Assassin's Creed target marked for death.
GRID's skill-level demands are exactly that: Demanding. From the get-go, stress and embarrassment elevated, and every event--be it a pro tuned tour, formula 1000, or freestyle drift--might as well have been labeled the Michigan demolition derby. "Button mashing" through a race is all well and good in, say, Burnout Revenge or MotorStorm; that's the fun-loving, full-on arcade-style racing audience they aim to please. But GRID aims to train you with "timed attacks" as you parry and riposte your car's heading when nudged by another driver; or waiting for your opponent to drop their guard as you slalom the inside lane on a rigid chicane-lined set of turns. This isn't a street brawl: It's martial artistry.
But sensei GRID isn't completely unforgiving to his white-belt students. A "flashback" feature gives you multiple chances to rewind the sands of time, a la Prince of Persia, should the race run afoul. It's brilliant, it's beautiful, and it secretly shames you if you're still using it during the higher echelons. Racing simulator enthusiasts have every reason to baulk at the inclusion of this temporally-manipulative convention. But for those of us not able to breakout our HotSeat Racer GT racing seat with its wireless True Force-Feedback wheel and pedals … breathe easy. The flashback feature is for you. And for those of you that eventually grow out of its usage, the difficulty levels scale from "Basic" to "Extreme" with increasingly-skilled opponents, and decreasingly-available flashbacks for you to call upon during the race. Once you're ready for some really sweaty palms, making that leap of faith to Pro Mode robs you of all of your flashbacks, and even says, "Huh-uh," to restarts. You're committed. And it takes a focused, dialed-in player to attempt GRID on such a "Legendary" level.
But GRID in and of itself is not your most visible opponent. While the ego-puffery surrounding the game's drivers has been seatbelted in the back (compared to previous editions of the Race Driver series), a rival team known as Ravenwest is setup to serve as the Bowser to your Mario. And if you're after a Princess Peach taking the shape of a tournament trophy, then Ravenwest drivers like Nathan McKane are more than happy to carry off that win, informing you in Ravenwest's own wordless way, "Thank you, Mario. But our princess is in another castle!" More literally, your racing pit coach--the guy giving you state-of-the-union updates for your car's damage and your place standings--will typically start the race on a resigned note if he sees Ravenwest in the lineup, hanging his head with some foregone conclusion like, "Ravenwest is here; might as well settle for third." You can practically hear the heavy sigh punctuating his defeatist tone. To the frustration of many, Ravenwest is indeed formidable, along with hundreds of other less-aggrandized drivers, and the higher difficulty levels seem to physically alter other driver's car physics, perhaps making them "heavier" so that even love-taps can bring disaster to an unaware player.
But your opponents, while sometimes feeling omnisciently skilled, are not reckless vagabonds and could rightly be labeled "gentlemen drivers." While hungry to overtake your position, the computer AI never rides the rails, never finds a race line and glues itself to it at the cost of everyone around it. In fact, its movements are tempered and its ability is often more passive aggressive rather than outright bullish. Thankfully, the AI isn't a Deep Blue chess computer either. Opponents are occasionally prone to making mistakes: An overtake that doesn't take so well, an inside corner cut too close, an outside lane that pushed him all the way out. The AI is primly-packaged and tough but mostly fair; although it's a godsend knowing that a tight corner means that the racer ahead of you will brake too hard and inadvertently toss you an opportunity to pull into the lead.

The Externship Program provides opportunities for students to practice with lawyers in the field. In their work, students learn valuable lessons about the profession, meet lawyers and judges throughout the legal community, and integrate the substance and skill they have developed in school. In class, students critically examine the role of lawyers in society and the promise of ethical, zealous advocacy. Students receive academic credit for their work and contribute good service at their field placements.
The Externship Program contributes to our mission of service and access to justice by supporting governmental, judicial, military and public interest law offices. The School of Law has established field placements with scores of agencies and lawyers, so students can expand their networks and deepen their experience before entering the marketplace.
The School of Law develops relationships with many agencies, courts and law offices to provide field placements for students, and we add more each year. We also help students to develop their own field placements in Montgomery and throughout the country. Recently, the following field placements, among others, have provided rich experiences for our students:
In 2011, National Jurist magazine listed Faulkner Law as one of the top law schools for preparing students for public service in government.

This publication presents five of the lectures from the 2006 - 2007 'Environment on the Edge' lecture series. It includes the following themes:
•Europe on the edge Professor - Jacqueline McGlade
•Are we running out of oil? - Dr Jeremy Leggett and Dr Ian Vann
•The impacts of the Three Gorges Dam - Professor Zhang Jing
•Humans and carbon: a Faustian bargain? - Professor Berrien Moore III
•Valuing sustainability - Richard Saxon CBE
•Transport: a case of systematic sclerosis? - Professor David Fisk
In the first of two papers, we explored congruence between species and higher-taxon richness across protected areas in Indo-Malaya and the Pacific rim. Our results support the use of the higher-taxon approach in guiding tropical conservation, but with certain reservations. In all three groups examined, higher-taxon richness was quite closely related to species number. However, the precision with which absolute species richness of reserves could be predicted from higher-taxon richness was often surprisingly low, particularly for rich sites where surveying higher taxa rather than species would save most time. The performance of higher taxa as surrogates also dropped sharply with increasing taxonomic rank, resulting in a trade-off between time saved by high-level surveys and the value of those surveys. Lastly, we found that species richness within individual higher taxa was potentially as powerful an indicator of the overall species diversity of a site as the number of higher taxa it contained.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Since 1997, UNEP has produced Global Environment Outlook (GEO) reports providing assessments of the interactions between environment and society. With its core mandate of "keeping the global environment under review," UNEP coordinated a series of scientific assessments that included extensive consultations and participatory processes, resulting in the production of GEO reports in 1997, 1999 and 2002.
GEO-4 provides an overview of global social and economic trends, and the state-and-trends of the global and regional environments over the past two decades, as well as the human dimensions of these changes. It highlights the interlinkages as well as the challenges of environmental change and opportunities that the environment provides for human wellbeing. It provides an outlook for the future, and policy options to address present and emerging environmental issues.
It places sustainable development at the core of the assessment, particularly on issues dealing with intra- and intergenerational equity. The analyses include the need and usefulness of valuation of environmental goods and services, and the role of such services in enhancing development and human well-being, and minimizing human vulnerability to environmental change
