American Medical Settles Case in Facebook Dismissal
The Connecticut ambulance company that fired an employee after she criticized her supervisor on Facebook agreed to settle a case brought by the U.S. National Labor Relations Board.
The NLRB announced the agreement today, resolving an Oct. 27 complaint against American Medical Response of Connecticut Inc. that said Dawnmarie Souza was illegally fired and denied union representation. The employee had posted comments on her Facebook Inc. Internet account.
Among the issues in the case was whether a worker has the right to criticize a boss on a site such as Facebook if co-workers add comments. The case was the first by the NLRB to assert that employers break the law by disciplining workers who post criticisms on social-networking websites.
"There's a strong argument that social networks are like a public forum, an invitation to conversation," said Marshall B. Babson, a lawyer who served on the NLRB during the Reagan administration. He is a partner with Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP in New York.
Under the settlement, American Medical Response will revise its "overly broad rules" to ensure that they don't improperly restrict employees from discussing wages, hours and working conditions with co-workers and others while not at work, and that they wouldn't discipline or discharge employees for engaging in such discussions, the NLRB said in a statement.
Company Promises
The company promised that employee requests for union representation when meeting with managers won't be denied in the future, and that employees won't be threatened with discipline for requesting union representation, according to the agency.
The NLRB, based in Washington, remedies labor disputes between companies and their employees or unions. The agreement ends the case without the board's decision, which would have set a precedent on whether workers can discuss their workplace on social-media sites without repercussion. American Medical Response reached agreement with the Teamsters union in a deal negotiated by the NLRB's Hartford office.
A board decision would have established the type of posts allowed, said Michael Eastman, executive director of labor-law policy with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, the largest business lobbying group in the nation.
"To what extent may an employer demand that its employees not disparage it in public?" Eastman said in an interview before the agreement. "Will all such employer policies be rendered obsolete when it comes to social media?"
'Strategic Alternatives'
American Medical Response said in November that the statements Souza made didn't qualify as protected activity under federal law.
The company is a unit of Greenwood Village, Colorado-based Emergency Medical Services Corp., the largest U.S. operator of ambulance services and provider of emergency room doctors. EMS said in December it had begun considering "strategic alternatives" for the company.
The complaint said Souza in November 2009 was denied the right to seek union help before she responded to a supervisor's questions about a customer complaint. She had posted disparaging remarks about a supervisor on her Facebook page from a home computer, according to the NLRB case.
Souza's comments drew supportive responses from coworkers and spurred additional negative comments about the supervisor.
"The employee in question was discharged based on multiple, serious complaints about her behavior," Doug Moore, a company spokesman, said in November.
American Medical Response's policy of restricting Internet use was overly broad, according to the complaint by the Hartford, Connecticut, office of the NLRB.
The NLRB said the comments were a "protected, concerted activity" by an employee on behalf of others, said Doreen S. Davis, a partner in the labor and employment practice at Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP in Philadelphia. The comments added by co-workers are considered a conversation about working conditions that would be protected, she said.

Fed Surprises Markets With an Increase in Bank Rate
Financial markets were sent into a late-day spin after being caught off-guard by the Federal Reserve decision to raise the rate it charges banks for emergency loans.
While the central bank had flagged the likelihood of increasing the discount rate, the timing surprised many investors. The Fed decision was announced after the close of New York trading, and the price of Treasury debt fell immediately.
The yield on the two-year Treasury note, which moves in the opposite direction of price, rose to 0.92% from 0.88%—a large move in that yield, according to Brian Yelvington, director of fixed-income research at brokerage Knight Libertas.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, having posted its third consecutive session of gains with a rise of 83.66 points, or 0.81%, to 10392, fell in after-hours trading. Futures prices for the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index fell roughly 0.9% before recovering slightly.
The Fed action also gave a boost to the U.S. dollar, especially against the weakened euro, which slid to $1.3518 from the late-afternoon quote of $1.3613. Gold prices dropped $11 to $1,112.70, which more than reversed a small gain posted during the day Thursday.
The increase in the discount rate is just one of several moves the Fed is taking to reverse its unprecedented easing of monetary policy, but it is perhaps the most visible action taken so far.
"The timing of it caught people by surprise and, from that perspective, a bit flat-flooted," says Craig Peckham, equity trading strategist at Jefferies & Co. "But as people have had an opportunity to digest this, I think they realize ... it's part of a very, very careful, and very, very well choreographed move to more normal relationships in monetary policy."
Still, the move was widely seen as a key step in the central bank's move toward raising interest rates more broadly.
And while the Fed reiterated on Thursday that its federal funds rate will remain at "exceptionally low levels" for "an extended period," many appeared to look beyond that statement.
"The perception is that this is an acceleration of the Fed's exit strategy," said Ian Lyngen of CRT Capital.
That was reflected in the federal-funds futures market, where traders bet on the future level of the fed funds rate.
The market had been fully priced for one rate increase this year and put a 28% chance of a second rate increase by the end of the year. After the Fed announcement on Thursday, the market had raised the odds of a second rate increase to 50%, Mr. Yelvington said.
The Fed said the move wasn't meant to affect monetary policy, but the market's reaction, if sustained, could have some real-world impacts.
Short-term borrowing costs could rise. The gap between short and long-term rates could narrow, curbing one avenue for banks to reap huge profits in the past year.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note ticked up to 3.80% from 3.77% before the announcement. That flattened the "yield curve," or spread between 2-year and 10-year notes, which had ended regular trading at a record high.
"The Fed doesn't want it to affect monetary policy, but if the market prices it in as such, and that's the way participants lend and borrow from one another, then obviously it does impact monetary policy," said Mr. Yelvington.
The Treasury market had already been seeing strong selling pressure prior to the Fed's announcement as better economic data raised investors' hopes that the economic recovery is strengthening. With investors favoring riskier assets, the bond market is on course for a weekly loss. Market participants also were beginning to prepare for the government's $126 billion offering of Treasury and Treasury inflation-protected securities in the coming week, selling Treasurys to make room for supply.
"It's been a pretty ugly week," said Ward McCarthy, managing director of the fixed-income division at Jefferies & Co. in New York. "The data have been pretty strong, and the inflation numbers have been ugly. None of this is good for the bond market," which thrives amid downbeat economic data and better inflation figures.
Fed officials have been signaling for some time that they intended to begin raising the discount rate as financial markets heal. They lowered this rate aggressively early in the financial crisis to give commercial banks added incentive to come to the Fed for emergency loans and continued to push it down as the crisis worsened. With the need for emergency funds waning, the Fed increased the rate from 0.5%.
In normal times, the discount rate is a percentage point above the more broadly important Fed funds rate, which is a rate that banks charge each other for overnight loans. The Fed targets a fed funds rate of between zero and 0.25%.
The consensus had been that a discount rate hike could come at the next meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee on March 16, said Barry Knapp, head of U.S. equity portfolio strategy at Barclays Capital.
Still, the reaction in some of the markets, for example the move lower in S&P futures "might be a little bit of an overreaction," he said, adding that the overall message is of the rate increase is clear. "It's just another step," that investors knew was eventually coming, Mr. Knapp said.
Others saw more significance in the move.
"Although the Fed went out of their way to say that this does not equate to a change in their monetary policy outlook, action speaks louder than words," wrote Kathy Lien, director of currency research at Global Forex Trading in a note late Thursday. "Their decision to begin normalizing rates before the next central bank meeting indicates how hawkish they must be and how serious they are about tightening monetary policy."
To some degree, what may matter most is whether it changes investor's expectations about the pace at which the Fed will move to reverse its easy monetary policy.
Jim Caron, global head of interest rate strategy at Morgan Stanley, noted that while it was a well-telegraphed adjustment by the Fed, it could affect the psychology of investors when it comes to expectations about short-term interest rates staying low.
"Sometimes perception becomes reality and that pushes rates higher," he says.

Earlier this week, we broke the news that state auditors were demanding at least three bars in Seattle to retroactively pay a nine percent sales tax simply because they had a dance floor. Bar owners contended the state hasn't attempted to collect this tax before, but they refused to be identified or explain how widespread the tax was.
Now there's more to the story.
Attorneys for Neighbours Nightclub—a dance club and gay institution on Capitol Hill—are going on the record to say they have found at least 25 other music venues in the Seattle area recently hit with an "opportunity to dance" tax by the state's Department of Revenue (DOR). Mark Kimball of MDK Law Associates says Neighbours is preparing to fight the DOR's "bald-face money grab" and contest the club's new tax bill by taking the DOR to court.
"We hope to bar [the DOR] from taxing clubs such as Neighbours in the way they're doing now," says Kimball. He says Neighbours currently owes a "six-figure-plus amount," but hastens to add that paying it "won't put the club out of business—unlike many others." Kimball anticipates filing a lawsuit in King County or Thurston County within the next six months.
At issue is a 50-year-old old tax law that was amended in the 1990s to include physical fitness (but the DOR says its been collecting the tax from dance clubs as far back as the 1970s). The state argues that dance clubs should be paying sales tax on all cover charges and ticket sales for "events that promote dancing," says DOR spokesman Mike Gowrylow. But not every event that features dancing must pay. "If you go to the Gorge," Gowrylow explains, "you're paying $50 to watch a concert. You don't go to dance so the sales tax wouldn't apply, even though there's an open area where people dance. It's because dancing's not the primary purpose, it's to watch a concert."
Tickets and cover charges to live music are classified as "entertainment" and are exempt from the tax, which is why, according to the DOR, the sales tax applies to dance venues like Neighbours but not established concert venues like the Showbox SODO, Key Arena, or the Gorge Amphitheater. People paying to see DJs are paying to dance, Gowrylow explains, so venues with DJs are expected to pay the dance tax.
"It seems pretty simple to us," Gowrylow says.
"Taxing the 'opportunity to dance' while exempting concerts is a twisted bit of logic," counters James Ware, another lawyer representing Neighbours.
"If they're taking the position that a live band is different from a DJ, which they appear to be doing, they can't," adds Kimball. "They're not allowed to favor one live performance over another. It's unconstitutional."
Kimball also contends that the state is arbitrarily trying to collect back taxes. For example, late last year, the state audited Neighbours and said the owners had to pay the tax for the first time, even though the club had been audited at least twice before (since it opened in 1983) and the state had never even mentioned the tax.
Auditors on both of those occasions "found no problems at all," Kimball says. "It isn't fair to go back and say, 'Retroactively we're going to treat you differently than we have for the last 20 or 30 years,' when the statute hasn't changed. The legislature can make that distinction but they haven't done so."
But Gowrylow says that state auditors have been trained to audit for this tax for the last 15 years, at least. He didn't have numbers on how many clubs have been audited for the new tax in the past year or decade, but says there's precedent. "We looked and we found court cases going back to the '70s that said that if you're marketing your place of business as a place to dance, the sales tax applies."
The end result, as Seattle club owners are experiencing, is a massive addition to their bottom line. In some cases, a six-figure burden. And what's worse, club owners can be held personally liable. "Under the statute, the DOR can get personal liability for unpaid taxes against owners sand managers of businesses," Ware explains. "It's draconian."

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Marcus Stroud has been ruled out and linebacker Keith Ellison was placed on injured reserve Friday, leaving the NFL's worst run defense further depleted against Jacksonville this weekend.
Interim head coach Perry Fewell had not mentioned Ellison was headed to the IR when he issued the team's injury report following practice.
Ellison has been out since hurting his quadriceps in the 31-10 loss to Houston on Nov. 1. He becomes the 12th Bills player -- and second starting linebacker, joining Kawika Mitchell (knee) -- to be placed on IR this season.
The rash of injuries continue to mount for a team coming off a tumultuous week that included Fewell taking over Tuesday for Dick Jauron, who was fired.
Stroud was ruled out because of a knee injury that has prevented him from practicing after he was hurt in the 41-17 loss at Tennessee last weekend. Except to refer to Stroud as day to day, Fewell wouldn't divulge the nature of the injury.
His absence means the Bills (3-6) could be down both starting defensive tackles against the Jaguars. Kyle Williams has missed three games because of a knee injury, and was questionable after he practiced sparingly this week.
That leaves Buffalo with only two other defensive tackles on its roster, reserves Spencer Johnson and John McCargo.
The Bills are allowing an NFL-worst 173 yards rushing this season. Buffalo prepares to face the run-happy Jaguars led by Maurice Jones-Drew, who's tied for fourth in the league with 860 yards rushing and has scored seven of his 12 touchdowns in the past four games.
While strong safety Donte Whitner is set to return after missing three games with an ankle injury, the defense could be down another regular with rookie safety Jairus Byrd questionable because of a nagging groin injury. A second-round draft pick out of Oregon, Byrd has a league-leading eight interceptions to tie the Bills' rookie single-season record. He also has a five-game interception streak.
Reserve cornerback Ashton Youboty was also ruled out after hurting his ankle last weekend.
Mitchell made an appearance in the locker room Friday. Placed on injured reserve after hurting his right knee in a 6-3 loss to Cleveland on Oct. 11, Mitchell said he had surgery five weeks ago and should be ready to begin working out in March.
The Bills filled Ellison's spot on the roster by promoting rookie defensive back Cary Harris from their practice squad.

From Amazon
Amazon Best Books of the Month, November 2010: It's hard to imagine a celebrity memoir--or any memoir for that matter--that is as easy to drink in (so to speak) as Keith Richards's Life. Die-hard Stones fans will love tales of the band's ascension from the "interval" band at the Marquee to the headliners at Super Bowl XL; guitar gearheads will scramble to sample the one lick that has eluded Richards for 49 years; and historians and romantics alike will swoon over the raspy, rambling, raucous detail of this portrait of the artist in situ. Yes, some tales are told, but Life is refreshingly not gossipy, mean-spirited, or sordid--or at least not more than the truth demands. Richards is as comfortable in his bones as a worn pair of boots, and Life captures the rhythm of his voice so effortlessly that reading his tale is like sharing a pint with an old friend--one who happens to be one of the most iconic guitarists of all time. --Daphne Durham
From Publishers Weekly
Bestselling author and international conference speaker Bevere (Driven by Eternity and Bait of Satan) is known for his trademark theme of believing in God for the impossible. Fans won't be disappointed by the similar all things are possible tone in this book on the need to integrate the principle of honor into every aspect of life, both functionally and spiritually. Bevere's focus on the biblical doctrine of honoring those governing authorities, whether in the civil, church, family, and social arena, is substantiated through scripture. Still, many in non-charismatic evangelical churches will take issue with the author's presumptive stance on ministers' right to receive double honor in the form of material wealth. Recounting the numerous times he has witnessed opulent gifts and preferential treatment bestowed upon him and other Christian servants as outward signs of being honored, Bevere provides an endless litany of hotel accommodations, presents, and the like. This reads as distasteful and greedy when contrasted with the fact that even Christ had nowhere to lay his head. The principle of honor is a worthy one, but Bevere's approach deteriorates too frequently into a what's-in-it-for-me tenor. (Nov. 15)

Richards was the "choirboy to school rebel" raised in Dartford, where he began to blossom at the birth of rock'n'roll. And after some false starts in other areas, his love of music began to gel into something when he met Mick Jagger (they bonded over their shared love of American blues music), and ended up forming a band called the Rolling Stones.
You know how it goes: they became the creative heart of the Rolling Stones, who started off as a penniless little blues band and turned into the wildest rock stars of the sixties and seventies. Richards' life became wrapped up in stardom, his sensual avant-garde lover Anita Pallenberg, and a heroin addiction -- until he inevitably yanked himself back up, found new love, and survived despite the odds.
I've always had a soft spot for Keith Richards -- he's had a crazy, colorful, dramatic life full of scandal and raw talent, but by all acounts, he's a nice guy. And "Life" doesn't disprove that -- Richards is less interested in telling all than in exploring the interesting parts of his life.
His style is laid-back and contemplative, as if you were just sitting in his living room listening to the old rocker reminiscing about his life. He talks a LOT about music (creating it, listening to it, playing it), encountering fascinating people, and carefully painting portraits of the many places he's travelled to.Read more ›
When I decided to read this book, I was interested in reading what Keith Richards would have to say about the public aspects of his life as both a talented musician and a drug addict. I was also interested in his view of the successes and excesses of the Rolling Stones. But mostly, I wanted to see something of the man behind the legend.
It's an interesting read: the first part is personal history; the second part is public legend; and the final part is where a more mellow (it's a relative term) Keith Richards exists. Keith Richards has survived the excesses of his past, and his memoir is peopled with many who did not. Some of the legends (curing his heroin addiction through a blood transfusion in Switzerland, and snorting his father's ashes) are explained and can be dismissed. Others - the detailed substance abuse - serve to underline how fortunate Richards was to survive.
Three aspects of the book stand out for me: the historical account of a rock and roll world of excess (in which women were `chicks' or `bitches'); the details of the music Richards made, and those musical heroes who inspired him; and his relationship with Mick Jagger. The historical account is in many ways not new: others have written about the Stones and memoirs of excess are neither new nor uncommon.Read more ›

Understanding the immigrant experience accessing healthcare is essential to improving their health. This qualitative study reports on experiences seeking healthcare for three groups of immigrants in Toronto, Canada: permanent residents, refugee claimants and undocumented immigrants. Undocumented immigrants who are on the Canadian Border Services Agency deportation list are understudied in Canada due to their precarious status. This study will examine the vulnerabilities of this particular subcategory of immigrant and contrast their experiences seeking healthcare with refugee claimants and permanent residents. Twenty-one semi-structured, one-on-one qualitative interviews were conducted with immigrants to identify barriers and facilitators to accessing healthcare. The open structure of the interviews enabled the participants to share their experiences seeking healthcare and other factors that were an integral part of their health. This study utilized a community-based participatory research framework. The study identifies seven sections of results. Among them, immigration status was the single most important factor affecting both an individual's ability to seek out healthcare and her experiences when trying to access healthcare. The healthcare seeking behaviour of undocumented immigrants was radically distinct from refugee claimants or immigrants with permanent resident status, with undocumented immigrants being at a greater disadvantage than permanent residents and refugee claimants. Language barriers are also noted as an impediment to healthcare access. An individual's immigration status further complicates their ability to establish relationships with family doctors, access prescriptions and medications and seek out emergency room care. Fear of authorities and the complications caused by the above factors can lead to the most disadvantaged to seek out informal or black market sources of healthcare. This study reaffirmed previous findings that fear of deportation forestalls undocumented immigrants from seeking out healthcare through standard means. The findings bring to light issues not discussed in great depth in the current literature on immigrant health access, the foremost being the immigration status of an individual is a major factor affecting that person's ability to seek, and experience of, healthcare services. Further, that undocumented immigrants have difficulty gaining access to pharmaceuticals and so may employ unregulated means to obtain medication, often with the assistance of a doctor. Also, there exists two streams of healthcare access for undocumented immigrants—from conventional healthcare facilities but also from informal systems delivered mainly through community-based organizations. Finally, within the umbrella term 'immigrant' there appears to be drastically different healthcare utilization patterns and attitudes toward seeking out healthcare between the three subgroups of immigrants addressed by this study.

This is my second order with PrintGlobe and I am very pleased all around. The online ordering process is extremely efficient and straight forward. My rep at the company is quick to see my order through and answer any questions that I have. They are in the US and speak my language literally and figuratively and are there to get me what I need. My pieces looked great and I plan on many future projects with this company. Thanks PrintGlobe!
New York, NY
Print Globe really bailed us out! We had a customer who slammed us with a difficult project that we couldn't fulfill in house, and our regular vendor was dragging his feet and couldn't even get us a hard price to tell our customer. Print Globe was able to create a solution for us and our customer and delivered on time and without complaints.
Hedgehog Solutions, Orem, UT
Price. Quality. Service. After 37 years in business, I've finally found a vendor who has all three. Wait! I just thought of one more - Variety. Now how can you beat four-out-of-four? I just love it when a printer makes my designs come to life and the client raves when they receive the final product. Thank you, PrintGlobe.

Jeff Roberson, Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — Derek Jeter soaked in the adulation from fans and players during one more night on baseball's national stage, set the tone for the American League with a pregame speech and then delivered two final All-Star hits.
Mike Trout, perhaps the top candidate to succeed the 40-year-old Yankees captain as the face of the game, seemed ready to assume the role with a tiebreaking triple and later a go-ahead double that earned the 22-year-old MVP honors.
On a summer evening filled with reminders of generational change, the AL kept up nearly two decades of dominance by beating the National League 5-3 Tuesday for its 13th win in 17 years.
"I think let Mike be Mike. I don't think people have to necessarily appoint someone to a particular position," Jeter said. "He's got a bright future ahead of him. I don't know how much better he can get, but if he consistently does what he's doing, then he will be here for a long time."
Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer to help give the AL champion home-field advantage for the World Series.
No matter what else happened, from the start it seemed destined to be another special event for Jeter.
He made a diving stop on Andrew McCutchen's grounder to shortstop leading off the game and nearly threw him out at first, then received a 63-second standing ovation when he walked to the plate before his opposite-field double to right leading off the bottom half. He was given another rousing cheer before his single to right starting the third and 2 1-2 minutes more applause after AL manager John Farrell sent Alexei Ramirez to shortstop to replace him at the start of the fourth.
As Frank Sinatra's recording of "New York, New York" boomed over the Target Field speakers and his parents watched from the stands, Jeter repeatedly waved to the crowd, exchanged handshakes and hugs with just about every person in the AL dugout and then came back onto the field for a curtain call.
"It was a special moment and it was unscripted," Jeter said. "I was unaware of it."
NL manager Mike Matheny of the Cardinals didn't want it to stop.
"The guys on our side have the utmost respect for him and would like to have been standing out there for a little while longer," he said. "I think Derek was the one that was uncomfortable with it."
While not as flashy as Mariano Rivera's All-Star farewell at Citi Field last year, when all the other players left the great reliever alone on the field for an eighth-inning solo bow, Jeter tried not to make a fuss and to deflect the attention.
Even during his clubhouse speech.
"He just wanted to thank us," Trout said. "You know, we should be thanking him."
A 14-time All-Star who was MVP of the 2000 game in Atlanta, Jeter announced in February this will be his final season. His hits left him with a .481 All-Star average (13 for 27), just behind Charlie Gehringer's .500 record (10 for 20) for players with 20 or more at-bats.
While the Yankees are .500 at the break and in danger of missing the postseason in consecutive years for the first time in two decades, Jeter and the Angels' Trout gave a boost to whichever AL team reaches the World Series.
The AL improved to 9-3 since the All-Star game started deciding which league gets Series home-field advantage; 23 of the last 28 titles were won by teams scheduled to host four of a possible seven games.
Detroit's Max Scherzer, in line to be the most-prized free agent pitcher after the season, pitched a scoreless fifth for the win, and Glen Perkins got the save in his home ballpark.

text: Close Kentucky Derby Preview 0 0 More 0 0 0 View Gallery Next Previous Next Matthew Stockman/Getty Images Vicar's in Trouble Trainer: Mike Maker Jockey: Rosie Napravnik The little bay is one of the smallest horses in this year's Derby field. He's also the third Louisiana-bred ever to start in the Run for the Roses. Vicar's in Trouble won his home-state derby on the lead on March 29 when the pace broke down. He has some early speed, which he'll have to use at the break on Saturday to avoid getting hemmed in on the rail. 1|19 Rob Carr/Getty Images Harry's Holiday Trainer: Mike Maker Jockey: Corey Lanerie The second of trainer Mike Maker's three starters in the race is the son of 2002 Derby favorite Harlan's Holiday. This is a tough spot for Harry's Holiday. He finished second by a nose in a slow Spiral Stakes at Turfway on March 22, and then lost a shoe in a dull 13th-place finish in the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland on April 12. He only became the 20th qualifier for the Derby when Midnight Hawk withdrew from contention on April 2. 2|19 Andy Lyons/Getty Images Uncle Sigh Trainer: Gary Contessa Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr. The colt -- named for Si Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame -- will be vying to become the first New York-bred to win the Derby since Funny Cide in 2003. Uncle Sigh ran wide when he finished fifth in the Wood Memorial on April 5. He's probably better than he showed in that race, but the Derby's 10 furlongs might still be too much for him. 3|19 Bill Frakes/SI Danza Trainer: Todd Pletcher Jockey: Joe Bravo Let's get this out of the way first: Yes, he's named for Tony Danza. The colt's sire is Street Boss, and in an effort to be clever, his owners, Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, chose the surname of the actor who played the title role in the 1980s sitcom <italics>Who's the Boss?</italics> Danza is lightly raced -- he was sidelined by a knee injury last year -- but he has trained impressively at Churchill Downs this week. The chestnut won the Arkansas Derby on April 12, his first race around two turns and longer than seven furlongs. Can you say, dark horse? 4|19 Rob Carr/Getty Images California Chrome Trainer: Art Sherman Jockey: Victor Espinoza The horse from nowhere is a worthy favorite, and the pace in this race could set up very well for his stalking style. There was nothing in his breeding to suggest that the colt would be this good, but he's won four straight races by 24¼ lengths, including impressive victories in the San Felipe Stakes and the Santa Anita Derby, on March 8 and April 5, respectively. His owners and his trainer don't have much Derby experience, but California Chrome is breaking from a decent post, and jockey Victor Espinoza won the Derby in 2002 atop War Emblem. 5|19 Charlie Riedel/AP Samraat Trainer: Rick Violette Jr. Jockey: Jose Ortiz He's won five times in six career starts, with his only defeat coming when he ran between rivals in the stretch to finish second to Wicked Strong in the Wood Memorial on April 5. Samraat is quick out of the gate and in every one of his races has run on or near the pace. Trainer Rick Violette Jr. insists, however, that his colt is a "very, very adaptable horse." There's no questioning his heart -- his record speaks for itself -- but the slightly built bay may be another for whom the Derby's 10 furlongs is too much. 6|19 Andy Lyons/Getty Images We Miss Artie Trainer: Todd Pletcher Jockey: Javier Castellano The Canadian-bred colt finished seventh in last November's Breeders' Cup Juvenile, and his biggest victory came when he prevailed by a nose over Harry's Holiday in the Spiral Stakes on March 22. We Miss Artie runs well on synthetic racing surfaces, but is 0-for-3 on dirt, which is the surface he'll be running over on Saturday. The Derby is a big step up in class for him. 7|19 Charlie Riedel/AP General A Rod Trainer: Mike Maker Jockey: Joel Rosario He has finished in the money in all five of his career starts, winning twice. His last victory, however, came on New Year's Day in the Gulfstream Derby. The colt is another in this race who is making a big step up in class, but there's no denying his consistency. And to answer the obvious question: He's named for owner J. Armando Rodriguez, not the disgraced Yankees slugger. 8|19 Morry Gash/AP Vinceremos Trainer: Todd Pletcher Jockey: Joe Rocco Jr. The third of trainer Todd Pletcher's four Derby starters, Vinceremos has won two of his five career starts. He may, however, be in over his head this time. He was competitive on the dirt in Florida last winter, but on April 12 he finished 14th in the Blue Grass Stakes, his first race over a synthetic surface. So which colt will we see on Saturday? Probably the good one -- he will certainly be better than he was at Keeneland last month -- but it seems doubtful that his best will be good enough to win the Run for the Roses. 9|19 Andy Lyons/Getty Images Wildcat Red Trainer: Jose Garoffalo Jockey: Luis Saez He's very consistent, finishing first or second in all six of his career starts, including four wins. The colt, who won the Fountain of Youth on Feb. 22 and finished second in the Florida Derby on March 29, has plenty of early speed and is expected to be one of the pacesetters on Saturday. He hasn't had the best week of workouts at Churchill Downs, but he definitely has ability. It wouldn't be shocking to see him get up for a share of the Derby purse. 10|19 Garry Jones/AP Dance With Fate Trainer: Peter Eurton Jockey: Corey Nakatani If he wins the Derby, it will be the first victory of his career on dirt. In eight starts, the bay has won three times, including the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland on April 12. That was three weeks ago, and in addition to questions about which surface Dance With Fate prefers, there is also the fact that he usually likes more than 21 days between starts. He's good, but probably not the horse for this course. 11|19 Bill Frakes/SI Chitu Trainer: Bob Baffert Jockey: Martin Garcia According to trainer Bob Baffert, the colt's name is pronounced CHEE-too, and he is named for a prominent Chinese racehorse. (Susan and Charles Choo, who race as the Tanma Corporation, own Chitu.) On the track, the chestnut, who has won three of four career starts, likes to run on or near the lead. This Derby is full of early speed, and that's going to make it very difficult for Chitu to stay in front for 10 furlongs. 12|19 Rob Carr/Getty Images Medal Count Trainer: Dale Romans Jockey: Robby Albarado With his closing style, he's sure to get a lot of action at the mutuel windows on race day. The Derby will be his third start in the last 30 days -- he won the Transylvania Stakes at Keeneland on April 4, and then ran second in the Blue Grass eight days later -- an unusually intense schedule for a young horse with a world of talent. But there is a precedent: When Charismatic won the Derby in 1999, it was his third race in 29 days. Medal Count has worked well at Churchill Downs, and it wouldn't be totally shocking if he charged his way into the money on Saturday. 13|19 Garry Jones/AP Tapiture Trainer: Steve Asmussen Jockey: Ricardo Santana Jr. The colt is blissfully unaware of all the drama surrounding trainer Steve Asmussen this week. Tapiture has two full brothers who have struggled at longer distances, but he won at Churchill Downs last November in the 1 1/16-mile Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes. Still, he was a dull fourth in the Arkansas Derby on April 12, and seems to be going the wrong direction. There's no doubt he has talent, but has did he peak too soon? 14|19 Rob Carr/Getty Images Intense Holiday Trainer: Todd Pletcher Jockey: John Velazquez He might be the best of trainer Todd Pletcher's four Derby starters. The colt has been working very well at Churchill Downs in preparation for the Derby. He finished a troubled second on March 29 in the Louisiana Derby, a race in which Vicar's in Trouble was allowed to get loose on the lead. Before that, on Feb. 22, Intense Holiday won the Risen Star. He has ability, and is another who is likely to benefit from a hotly contested pace. He hasn't yet run well enough to beat some of his Derby rivals at their best, but he may be able to get up for a late score.. 15|19 Rob Carr/Getty Images Commanding Curve Trainer: Dallas Stewart Jockey: Shaun Bridgmohan He's another closer who would benefit from a speedy pace on Saturday. The colt has finished in the money in four of his six career starts, but has won only once, scoring in a 1 1/16-mile maiden race last November at Churchill Downs. He ran a career-best Beyer Speed Figure of 89 while finishing third in his last race, the Louisiana Derby on March 29. He's a nice colt, but he seems in over his head here. 16|19 Andy Lyons/Getty Images Candy Boy Trainer: John Sadler Jockey: Gary Stevens The big bay is the son of Candy Ride, a monster as a mile specialist in his native Argentina, and the winner of the 1¼-mile Pacific Classic in 2003. Candy Boy defeated Chitu in the Robert B. Lewis at Santa Anita on Feb. 8, but finished well behind California Chrome and Hoppertunity in the Santa Anita Derby on April 5. Candy Boy might be in a little over his head, but with jockey Gary Stevens in the irons, he shouldn't be ignored on Saturday. Stevens has won the Derby three times (in 1988, '95 and '97). Dangerous. 17|19 Matthew Stockman/Getty Images Ride On Curlin Trainer: William Gowan Jockey: Calvin Borel He wasn't in Danza's class in the Arkansas Derby, finishing second. It was Ride On Curlin's third Derby prep race of 2014, and the third time he finished in the money without winning. The colt has finished in the money in eight of his nine career starts, but won only twice. He's likely to see a lot of action at the mutuel windows on Saturday because he'll be ridden in the Derby by Churchill favorite Calvin Borel -- or Bo-rail, if you prefer. 18|19 Andy Lyons/Getty Images Wicked Strong Trainer: Jimmy Jerkens Jockey: Rajiv Maragh A serious contender, he's a closer who comes from off the pace -- he was very impressive in winning the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct on April 5. He drew a terrible starting position, but Big Brown won from post 20 in 2008, and the pace on Saturday is likely to be favorable. Owner Donald Little Jr., the president of Centennial Farms of Beverly, Mass., renamed him in the wake of the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombings (his original name was Moyne Spun). Centennial Farms is donating one percent of Wicked Strong's winnings to the One Boston Fund, which supports the bombing victims and their families. 19|19 Next up More Sports 24 SI's Kentucky Derby Covers May 2, 2014 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More Recommended Galleries More Sports 7 Unlikely Sports Friendships 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More More Sports Maria Sharapova serves to Justine Henin at the 2007 Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Championships in Madrid, Spain. 88 The View From Above 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More More Sports @SInow the hope and dream of returning to the #Indy500 each year... #KeepGoodGoing #IndyCar 12 Celebrating your inspirations: How did you defy the odds? 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More

American Jihadist Reportedly Killed by Own Terrorist Group
They won't get the money.
You may remember Omar Hammami, an Alabama-born jihadist who joined up with the Somalian terrorist militant group Al-Shabab in 2006, from when he live-tweeted his own near-assassination in April. Now, reports indicate that Hammami, who was the subject of a $5 million FBI bounty offer, has been killed in an ambush by members of his own terrorist group, with whom he has had a falling out. Al-Shabab will not get the $5 million, though — that would only apply for information leading to arrest or conviction.

Formscan By Eamonn Murphy - Plenty to consider here but assuming there isn't a strong fancy for Pacelli Road on his handicapping bow, the one I'll row in with is MALLOWNEY. There was more than one reasonable judge touting him for the Boylesports.com Hurdle last month and he ran a perfectly respectable race to finish seventh behind Abbey Lane. Davy Russell partners the seven-year-old now for the first-time and you'd imagine he has to be there or there-abouts. Boylesports.com Hurdle second, Rocky Wednesday isn't the easiest to win with but now Jane Mangan has a go for the first time. She could well un-lock the Rock Of Gibraltar gelding's full talent and he has to be much respected. Dul Ar An Ol and Beneficial Spirit are course and distance winners and as such they have to enter calculations too.

Great brunch. Really, quite delicious. The 'build your own' functionality of the full English breakfast is pretty nifty. Definitely recommended.more
Nice, hearty breakfasts using original recipes instead of your usual greasy fry-ups. Average price, could be cheaper. The staff are lovely and friendly, which goes a long way first thing in the morning. Coffee is lush, and the little out-door space at the back is a lovely area to enjoy your breakfast with a little sunshine.more
This is a review for the Peckham Burger nights they've just started on Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
I'll say not bad, not bad at all. Service was excellent, very friendly and helpful. We sat outside and they've made it pretty cosy and great for people watching.
The burger was decent, but sadly let down by a slightly stale brioche bun, which killed it. Otherwise it would've been real tasty....more

Eat, Exercise, Relax, and Sleep Your Way to Better Sex
Better sex doesn't just involve technique. Keeping a fit mind and body can increase your enjoyment of bedroom antics.
By Dulce Zamora
Reviewed By Michael Smith, MD
Thought about leading a healthier lifestyle but haven't gotten around to doing it? Here's a possible incentive: Experts say people who are mentally and physically fit are more likely to have good sex lives.
"If you feel good about yourself, you are in a better position to feel good about relationships, including your sex life," says Karen Zager, PhD, a psychologist in private practice in New York City.
"When one is not feeling well, and is exhausted, it can certainly have a negative impact on the quality of one's sex life," says Saralyn Mark, MD, a senior medical adviser at the Office on Women's Health.
This may all seem intuitive, yet many people find the road to a fitter mind and body to be bumpy, especially if it involves losing weight, starting an exercise program, reducing stress, or getting enough sleep.
One big reward, though, is to look and feel better -- arguably a plus for good romantic and sensual activities.
Eat Right
While there is no proven connection between a balanced diet and bedroom performance, a poor diet can cause health problems that can possibly interfere with sex.

I tried a few things but my problem is still here. If I restart my PC, USB devices work well. However, after waking up from suspend, the two USB 3.0 ports don't work but the USB 2.0 ports work well.
I solved it going into the BIOS and activating "USB S3 resume" (or something like that) option under the advance tab.
Hope this works for you!

My client is hosting many WordPress blogs. I checked system load with "ps -ef | grep -i php" (because the server is hosting domains for clients using SuPHP and cpanel) and I see many of the blogs have wp-cron.php in memory, sometimes several of the same domain running several copies of wp-cron.php.
Is this wp-cron.php loaded so much a normal thing with WordPress? Or is it a misconfiguration?

Is there any resolution for this. Thanks!

I have used your plugin an many sites for a long time now and I have always loved it.
Unfortunately, you have now added a "Frosty" feed to the dashboard which is turned on by default.
This feed is using so much memory it is crashing my dashboard so it doesn't work, and also the admin page for your plugin. I can access the plugin page and tick the 'do not include' choice, but since the page has maxed out the memory, I don't get the "Save Options" button.
I would like to know, why SO MANY feeds? It's a little mad to have so many activated by default. The WordPress installation itself doesn't grab as many feeds as your one plugin.
I appreciate you have given us this plugin for free, but adding so many feeds of your own to the plugin and the main dashboard, seems pretty selfish and unecessary.
I have now uninstalled your plugin and will use another, which doesn't feel the need to plaster my dashboard with so many unwanted feeds by default.
Turn it off by default and reduce the number of feeds. I can't imagine you are doing yourself any good with this. :(

Back Pain Health Center
Back Problems and Injuries - Home Treatment
Home treatment may help relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness related to a back problem.
- Return to your normal daily activities and work as soon as you can, although you may need to modify or limit some work tasks.
- Avoid bed rest. Bed rest is not an effective treatment for back pain and may cause you to heal more slowly.
- Apply an ice or cold pack to the injured area for the first 48 to 72 hours. Apply cold packs or ice for 15 to 20 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day or up to once an hour. Cold decreases swelling and pain. Keep a towel between your skin and the ice to prevent frostbite. Do not fall asleep with the ice on your skin.
- Change position every 30 minutes. Gently massage or rub the area to relieve pain and encourage blood flow. Do not massage the injured area if it causes pain.
- For the first 48 hours after an injury, avoid things that might increase swelling, such as hot showers, hot tubs, hot packs, or alcoholic beverages.
- After 48 to 72 hours, if swelling is gone, apply heat. Use a warm pack or heating pad set on low. Some experts recommend switching back and forth between heat and cold treatments. You can also begin gentle exercise with the aid of moist heat to help restore and maintain flexibility.
- Avoid sitting up in bed, sitting on soft couches, and twisting or sitting in other positions that make your symptoms worse.
- Try one of the following sleep positions if you have trouble sleeping at night:
- Begin moderate aerobic exercise. Take short walks (3 to 5 minutes every 3 hours) on level surfaces as soon as you can to help keep your muscles strong. Avoid hills and stairs. Walk only distances that you can manage without pain, especially pain in your legs. Add to your exercise program every week to continue your progress.
- Do pelvic tilt exercises to gently move the spine and stretch the lower back. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Slowly tighten your stomach muscles and press your lower back against the floor. Hold the position for 10 seconds. Do not hold your breath. Slowly relax.

Thai Flood Toll Rises to 59; Bangkok's Defenses Hold
Thailand said the death toll from weeks of flooding across 36 provinces rose to 59, as Bangkok escaped major damage after bolstering the city's defenses.
Floods have affected at least 3.2 million people and damaged 3.5 million rai (1.4 million acres) of agricultural land, the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation said today. Heavy rain may cause flash floods and landslides in 15 southern provinces before the end of the month, the agency said.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, who called the floods the worst in 50 years, pledged to give 5,000 baht ($167) to families in the worst-hit areas as part of a 2.9 billion baht special budget. The finance ministry today cut its forecast for economic growth this year to 7.4 percent from 7.6 percent, and said the disaster may cause as much as 20.2 billion baht of damage.
Floodwaters receded in 11 provinces, leaving 25 still inundated, the disaster prevention department said. The death toll since Oct. 10 rose to 59, according to the Emergency Medical Institution of Thailand.
Bangkok experienced only minor flooding along the Chao Phraya river as the city's 77-kilometer-long flood-protection system held, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration said. Authorities are looking at ways to drain water away from the capital before a period of high tides starts on Nov. 8.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who stopped in Bangkok yesterday on a four-nation tour, expressed his "deep profound sympathy" to the flood victims.
Cyclones, Monsoon Rains
"It is a stark reminder of the reality of climate change," Ban told reporters in Bangkok, adding that he discussed with Abhisit ways the UN could work with Southeast Asian nations to address global warming.
Cyclones and heavier-than-normal monsoon rains deluged parts of Southeast Asia this month, killing hundreds of people and affecting millions in key rice-producing regions. More than 84 people were killed in Myanmar when Tropical Cyclone Giri lashed the country's west coast at the weekend, the Irrawaddy reported yesterday, citing local residents.
Indonesia's capital Jakarta was paralyzed earlier this week as heavy rain submerged streets and railways, leading to gridlock on the city's roads.
A longer-than-usual rainy season in Indonesia caused by the La Nina weather phenomenon has led to flooding on Java, the most populated island, and provinces such as Papua, where more than 100 people were killed this month in flash floods.
Rain has also hampered efforts to rescue survivors from a tsunami that slammed into the Mentawai islands off Indonesia's Sumatra two days ago, following a 7.5-magnitude earthquake.
Rice Crop Damaged
In Thailand, the world's biggest rice exporter, a government agency warned that production from the country's main rice crop this year may fall 6.5 percent, squeezing supply and driving prices higher.
Damage from flooding may cut gross domestic product by 1 percentage point in the fourth quarter and by 0.24 percentage point for the full year, Kasikorn Research Center said in a statement yesterday.
The floods may curb economic growth by as much as 0.2 percentage point this year, the Finance Ministry's Fiscal Policy Office said in a statement today. Economic ministers will meet on Nov. 1 to discuss the effect of the disaster, Abhisit said.
The floods have become a risk factor for the economy, and will be taken into account at the Bank of Thailand's next meeting on monetary policy, Bank of Thailand Deputy Governor Atchana Waiquamdee told reporters in Bangkok today.
"We don't know the impact yet," Atchana said. "The crop may be damaged, but the rising prices may partially help offset the drop in farm income."
