The Risks, The Challenges, and The Opportunities
A Forum Around the Drivers of Risk, Resilience, and the Business of Security
The Great Conversation provides you and your team with proven practices and strategies
to create valuable security and risk programs to drive your business
The Great Conversation is a forum designed to inform, engage, and ultimately provide attendees with the tools needed to take security programs to the next level. It is intended for practitioners focused on enterprise-wide security, risk management, business continuity, and critical infrastructure.
It's a place where theory and practice converge
We invite you to a powerful two-day education forum focused on both the challenges and opportunities organizations face in risk, resilience, and the business value of security. We bring together leaders and their teams to discuss the newest and most important strategies driving the security industry and hear how other companies have organized their people, processes, and technology against a program roadmap.
Our faculty present proven practices and strategies you need to maintain the value of security and risk programs to support your organization and drive enterprise success. Attendees also have access to current and emerging technology and service providers where we help you develop a scorecard for that technology to meet your unique needs.
"I've attended the two day Forum in Seattle for several years and I credit much of my professional success to the relationships I've established and knowledge I have gained through my participation. I value it so much that I brought my newly formed team to forum. My intent was to give them access to the same people, material, and resources I learn from. I want them to hear what I preach from the source, to increase their understanding, and help us align our individual business philosophies – laying the foundation for a shared vision. I want to expand their awareness of our profession so they see the possibilities available to them as they become next generation security leaders."
– Mike Dorman, Bellevue School District
"The Great Conversation provides a setting in which the various members of the security community are exposed to information and ideas related to the mitigation of risk and is designed to engender productive discussions regarding what the future of security will look like both from an operational and technological standpoint. This forum is an invaluable resource for any organization's continued and future success."

We have a sceanrio where the available material quantity in MRP list is considering future delivery date STO quantity. The PO delivery date is 08.11.2008 and MRP run date is 07.11.2008.
Step 1, material master details:
Material = 16814, MRP Type = PD, Lot size = EX, Special Procurement = D0 (Stock Transfer), Consumption mode = 2 Backward\forward consumption, Fwd Consumption per = 0.
Step 2, MRP list details , before PO creation:
MRP list before having any purchase order = 191-
i.e, Available qty on 07.11.2008 with a DepReq = 191-
Step 3, Creating Purchase oder (In our case it is STO):
We created one Stock Transport Order on 7th Nov 2008 giving Delivery date as 08 Nov 2008 which is in future. Our plant is receiving plant = y100.
PO quantity = 2
Step 4, Running MRP in MD02:
Processing key = NETCH Net Change in Total Horizon
Create purchase req. = 1 Purchase requisitions
Delivery schedules = 3 Schedule lines
Create MRP list = 1 MRP list
Planning mode = 3 Delete and recreate planning data
Scheduling = 1 Determination of Basic Dates for Pl
Result = PR is getting created for Qty = 189, but our actual required qty = 191 - meaning it is considering the future delivery date(8th Nov 2008) PO qty while creating PR and removing that qty while creating PR's on 7th Nov 2008.
Here we are running the MRP on today (7th Nov 2008). STO delivery date is 8th Nov 2008
Step 5, MRP List details, after STO creation:
Now the PO is coming in MRP list and the available qty is 189-
Earlier stock before purchase order is 191 - after creating purchase order (STO) for future delivery date available qty is coming as 189-
DepReq is still 191- but the total available qty is changing to 189-
We want PR to be created for DepReq of 191 and not 189.
In step 2
What is the stock?
If it is PO then the qty cannot be in minus 189
Where are u running MRP? In receiving plant or sending plant and all the steps you are showing for which plant?
It is confusing...
What i can say is in general if it is MTS scenario, then system will always consideres stock + receipt - issues = 0 after running MRP.
If it is MTO, then for each sales order/project segment stock + receipt - issues = 0...
Hence apply your situation in the plant and see the data.

Located very close to universal studios. Great for families! Very nice, clean hotel. Bathrooms are awesome. Very accommodating staff, manager at the front desk, Matt, was great. Kids loved the swimming pool and movie nights by the pool.
Love this hotel! We arrived very late in the evening, the staff were great and got us checked in very quickly. The rooms were lovely and modern. The pool was very nice. The hotel has a free shuttle bus to Universal Studios and the bus/metro. Will stay here again when we are back in LA.
The Garland is like a peaceful oasis right in the middle of Los Angeles. I was so incredibly happy with the choice. The hotel staff was super accommodating (with requests even off-hours). It is like a resort. The breakfast buffet is awesome. Do not hesitate to book there!!!
"Husband and wife Beverly Garland and Fillmore Crank chose to design their Hotel from the architecture of early California mission style contrasted with a newly emerging west coast modernism emphasizing long, clean lines. The property
reflected the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and attracted many stars. In 2000, their son James committed himself to perpetuating the legacy of the hotel. The re-inspired The Garland draws its brilliance from the interior designs of California
in the late 1960s and attracts a new generation of artists, entrepreneurs and sophisticated families who appreciate a tried and true iconic LA property.

TfL rejects Golders Green-Stamford Hill bus
A bridge-building exercise with the Orthodox community by Transport for London officials has been dismissed as a "sham" after suggestions for enhancements in services were rejected.
During a meeting in February called by TfL to improve relations and discuss transport issues, TfL officers pledged to "get discussion going" on a range of issues.
These included relaxing parking restrictions on Shabbat and High Holy-Days, introducing public buses for Jewish school pupils and extending the 210 Brent Cross-Finsbury Park bus route to Stamford Hill.
But in a letter sent to those who attended the meeting, TfL maintained that many of the issues were too "challenging".
TfL director of news Stuart Ross wrote that dedicated faith school transport would be "difficult to justify financially".
TFL says extending the 210 route is too costly
He added that an extension of the 210 route would cost more than £900,000 per year and that introducing a new route would be a "more expensive option".
As for removing parking restrictions on Shabbat and festivals, this would "undermine the objectives" of TfL to manage roads, could hinder traffic flow and would set a precedent, prompting similar requests from other religious communities and organisations.
Edgware Lubavitch rabbi Leivi Sudak complained that the TfL response "seems a complete contrast to the original spirit that was shared when the meeting was called. It was supposed to be about working together with the community. But coming back with these pathetic responses - the meeting was a sham.
"I'm really upset about their quasi-excuse for not bringing the 210 around to Stamford Hill. It's not a fair answer and it is an answer just to push people aside and say 'don't be a nuisance' - and that is hurtful."

State and congressional leaders must push harder for the U.S. Department of Energy to clean up toxic wastes at the Savannah River Site.
A key processing plant to help get that done is almost four years behind schedule and hundreds of millions of dollars over budget.
But the Department of Energy and Congress cannot quit now.
Even though the salt-waste processing plant is only 65 percent complete and might not open until 2018, it must remain a top priority at the 310-square-mile federal nuclear weapons complex near Aiken. The plant is needed to clean up 47 tanks filled with high-level nuclear waste. The aging tanks are prone to leaks.
Even if the plants cost originally estimated at $400 million goes higher than current estimate of $1.3 billion, so be it. It offers a concrete solution to a dire problem, and when it comes to cleaning up the atomic waste of Americas Cold War, few alternatives offer such hope.
Cost-overruns are not nearly as catastrophic as other bad news on nuclear waste disposal.
It was much worse when President Barack Obama foolishly terminated the proposed Yucca Mountain repository for nuclear waste nationwide. It also is worse to hear the Savannah River Site mentioned as a possible place to store highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel from the nations nuclear reactors.
Cost-overruns and delayed delivery are commonplace in the long slog that has turned into the nations greatest environmental challenge: storing nuclear waste and cleaning up sites like the Savannah River Site.
It is not quick, and it is not cheap.
And Congress must stay the course.
The federal government created the dangerous situation at the Savannah River Site, and it cannot be allowed to falter in cleaning up the mess.

Sky Deutschland Shares Jump on Deal-Friendly Tax Rule
Sky Deutschland AG, the German pay-TV provider half-owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., rose as much as 13 percent in Frankfurt trading after regulators paved the way for a takeover with a favorable tax ruling.
Sky Deutschland rose 27 cents, or 7.5 percent, to 3.86 euros at 10:33 a.m. local time, with volume reaching more than double the three-month average. The shares earlier jumped 13 percent, the biggest intraday move since April.
German authorities approved an accounting method which would allow Sky to preserve part of its 2.3 billion euros ($2.9 billion) in tax losses, reducing future obligations, in the event that ownership changed. The move makes it more likely that News Corp. will increase its stake to more than 50 percent or make a bid for the entire company, Polo Tang, an analyst at UBS AG, said today in a note to investors.
"We would expect NWS to move to increase its stake," Tang said. "Prior to this approval, SkyD would have lost all of its tax assets had NWS increased its shareholding."
Miranda Higham, a News Corp. spokeswoman, declined to comment.
Sky Deutschland, which has reported net losses since 2006, also has been working to refinance some of its borrowings. The Unterfoehring, Germany-based company had net debt of 549 million euros at the end of September.
Chief Executive Officer Brian Sullivan is trying to increase subscribers' monthly bills and expand the company's programming to mobile devices and high-definition channels. Germany's government cut its 2013 growth forecast for the country last month as southern Europe's debt crisis spreads throughout the region.

Job description
Your job is to make our service work and look as simple as possible. This sounds easy, but it's a lot more difficult in practice. We don't want our users to think for even one second about what they should do at any given time, and to support that vision, you need to be able to use the latest and newest web technologies you can find out there to reach that goal. Usually you'll be implementing technologies you haven't used or even seen before because it's so new. You need to be the type of guy (or girl) who is able to set the highest standard for yourself and if you're the one who can't sleep at night because you just got a great idea that you can't wait to work on then we're looking for you!
What you'll do as a front-end JS developer:
- Using advanced JS frameworks to create stunning and user friendly interfaces.

- Stay up to date on the latest stuff: CSS mediaqueries, touch events and everything else that helps being able to serve our website on multiple platforms and media.
- Minimum: experience in PHP, OOP, MVC, Design Patterns, Javascript, CSS
- Bonus: JQuery, Mustache, Kohana, Messaging Systems (RabbitMQ, ZeroMQ, Memcache, MySQL, NoSQL, SASS or LESS)
- Able to get stuff done (3+ years experience)
- Not looking for a stable 9-to-5 job, this is a startup
- Worked on great stuff in the past (or create something new with our API).
- Need to be able to voice your opinion and be highly critical of us (and yourself)
PS: We won't look at your college degrees that much. You'll have to impress us with something better than that.
We will offer you a market value salary along with stock options, free lunch & dinner, flexible working hours and other benefits. As an early employee, you'll also be considered for senior positions during the growth of our company.
About us
Tinypay.me is the easiest way to sell physical and digital items online. Sellers from all over the world are able to put their item up for sale within 60 seconds, notify their friends on social networks and receive payments immediately through PayPal. We also build other cool stuff like Marketplaces and an API. We're growing at a fast rate, but our guts say that our service will explode by the end of this year.
ReadWriteWeb, TechCrunch and Mashable all had nice things to say about us, but you can only experience it yourself what our service is like.

With the arrival of spring comes the urge to freshen and revitalize your home decor. If you're worried that your design dreams are larger than your bank account can handle, think again. These tips will help you refresh your home's interior without breaking the bank in the process!
Brighten Up
One of the most cost-effective ways to freshen your space is with a coat of paint. Not only is a new wall color one of the dramatic ways to update a room's look, it's also one of the least expensive! So go ahead and choose that gorgeous shade you've been dreaming of; after all, if you don't like it, you can always paint over it.
Pretty Patterns
Wallpaper is a fun way to add visual interest to a room, but covering entire walls is a time-intensive — and sometimes expensive — task. Instead, save a few bucks and a few hours by covering your bookcase backings instead. It'll add a subtle splash of color and texture to the room without being overwhelming.
Throw Pillows
Tired of that old couch but can't afford to invest in new furniture? Spruce it up with some throw pillows! Choose two or three complementary shades and patterns to mix up the look. Add a comfy throw for a fresh new look.
Get Thrifty
Searching for those perfect accent pieces that give your home that finished look? Spend an afternoon browsing at your local thrift shops and hitting neighborhood garage sales. You're bound to find more unique, interesting items than you know what to do with for a reasonable price. And, if you're a bit crafty, you can do a little DIY to create your very own works of art!

The Abductionby Mark Gimenez
John R. Brice should be on top of the world: he's brilliant, has a beautiful family, and his company's about to go public, which will make him a multimillionaire. But when his ten-year-old daughter is kidnapped, which exposes fractures in the Brice family, John would give it all up in a heartbeat to get her back. More than just a kidnap-for-ransom, though, Gracie's abduction is part of a plot that threatens the White House. When the FBI and local law enforcement close the case, it's John's father, Ben, a Vietnam vet, who helps the Brice family unravel the long-held secrets that hold the key to Gracie's return. In his dynamic follow-up to The Color of Law, Gimenez has written a startling, multilayered thriller in which complex characters and a fast-moving plot grab the reader immediately. Smart dialog and a spunky Gracie, who never loses her cool, make for a memorable read that twists and turns until the final, cinematic conclusion. Highly recommended for all public libraries. -- From Library Journal. Starred review
The Abductionby Mark Gimenez
Ben Brice is a drunk living alone in the New Mexico wilderness, where he custom builds furniture and battles memories of Vietnam with oceans of Jim Beam. Miles away in Texas, his estranged son, John, an Internet geek-turned-billionaire, half-watches his daughter Gracie's soccer game while on his cell phone. When her mother Elizabeth arrives, the coach reports that her "uncle" has already collected Gracie. But Gracie has no uncle-she was kidnapped. From international bestselling author Mark Gimenez comes a terrifying child-in-jeopardy thriller in which dark family secrets make the finding of missing ten-year-old Gracie Brice more uncertain with every passing minute. And so begins a furious race against time to save Gracie from unknown kidnappers. With the FBI camped out in the Brice mansion, the family offers a reward of $25 million. Somehow, Ben and John must find Gracie before it is too late. As the story unfolds with dramatic twists and turns, the reader discovers that behind the kidnapping is an extraordinary government plot to assassinate the President of the United States. And time is running out....
The Color of Lawby Mark Gimenez
A partner at a prominent law firm is forced to choose between his enviable lifestyle and doing the right thing. Former college football star Scott Fenney has worked his way to the top of the heap at the Dallas firm of Ford Stevens. But when Clark McCall, wayward son of a Texas politician, gets himself murdered after a night of booze, drugs, and rough sex, Scott is assigned to defend the prime suspect, a heroine-addicted hooker named Shawanda Jones. The powers that be want her convicted--and Scott's future at the firm may depend on it. But unfortunately for Scott, Shwanada claims she's innocent, and he believes her.From the Paperback edition.
The Color of Lawby Mark Gimenez
A. Scott Fenney is a hotshot corporate lawyer at a big Dallas firm. At 33, in the prime of his life, he rakes in $750,000 a year, drives a Ferrari and comes home every night to a mansion in Dallas's most exclusive neighbourhood. He also comes home to one of Dallas's most beautiful women, with whom he has a much-loved daughter, Boo. For Fenney, life could not be better. But when a senator's son is killed in a hit-and-run, Fenney is asked by the state judge to put his air-conditioned lifestyle on hold to defend the accused: a black, heroin-addicted prostitute - a very different client to the people Fenney usually represents. And, more importantly, she is not going be paying Ford Stevens $350 an hour for the privilege of his services. Under fire from all sides, Fenney drafts in a public defender to take the case on. Yet as Scott prepares to hand over to Bobby, he feels increasingly guilty about the path he is taking, because Scott still believes in the principle of justice.

Next week the Irish government will break fresh ground by staging a state ceremony at the Islandbridge war memorial in Dublin to remember the thousands of Irish soldiers and those from the Ulster Division who perished in one of the bloodiest engagements of the first world war.
For decades those in the republic who volunteered to serve with British forces during the first and second world wars kept silent about their experiences and received no recognition. Poppies were rarely worn on Remembrance Day.
Public praise was reserved for those who participated in the "blood sacrifice" of the 1916 Easter uprising and the war of independence which led to the withdrawal of British troops and the foundation of the Irish state.
Earlier this spring the Irish government held the first state parade in Dublin for more than 35 years commemorating the uprising.
The ending of Northern Ireland's Troubles, however, has initiated a period of cross-border reconciliation and renewed interest in those Irish men and women whose military service was sidelined by republican versions of history.
The 75 cent Irish stamp shows a painting, entitled The Battle of the Somme - Attack of the Ulster Division.
Both the 36th (Ulster) Division and the 16th (Irish) Division took part in the battle. Politicians hoped the common experience of unionists and nationalists fighting alongside one another would heal rifts at home. Many volunteered for service in the belief that it would force the London government to grant home rule.


text: Review Content I would buy this product again It is great because it allows me to enjoy my deck with a cool breeze. Best fan outdoor fan that I have had!! Love this product! Can use with or without the misters. One disadvantage is that I wish you could control the amount of water coming out of the misters. There is no regulation for the misters so I am not sure how much I will use them. I love that it is all weather and can be left out in the elements. The best feature is the oscillating feature. I have had other small outdoor fans but they did not have the oscillating feature. Small, compact and powerful. Have a townhouse garden and what a great fan to help cool down the garden space, love it. Outdoor misting fan As se have a home in LA where humidity is 100%, the fine cooling mist is like an oasis on the porch! Really cools the patio in TX Summer I purchased this product during the winter months, so I havent had a chance to use it yet. I saw that it was on sale and could not wait to purchase for next year. Friends had this fan on their patio last summer and it really made a difference in the august heat in TX. Will be looking forward to using it as soon as the temp goes up. Nice compact size and portable to easily move it to where you need it on the patio. Perfect Fathers Day present. This was purchased for a Fathers Day present to my husband. Unfortunately he found it early, so we have put it to good use before Fathers Day. My husband just loves it. So far we have used it indoors with the oscillating feature pushed. The fan is excellent and very quiet. When the weather turns warmer, we will take it to the deck and hook it up to a water hose. We in Oklahoma have very hot summers that require either good shade or misting of some sort for us to enjoy our backyard areas. Thank you Sharper Image. Easy way to beat the Heat! I live in Houston and my deck gets full sun! I recently added a Sunsetter that helped but the misting fan makes it comfortable in our 100+ degree heat. I am spending more time on my deck in comfort. is better than the catalog description! I use the product on my deck in the hot tub area, it makes the area pleasant even in the 103 degree heat that we are currently having. The only problem was the mist was leaving a residue due to city water - I added a a high quality in line filter - problem solved. Everything about this product is great for my application. Lasko Misting Fan This is a great fan. It is small but has a lot of power. It also oscillates so the air isnt a straight stream. Havent used the mister yet, but Im sure it will do a fine job. great product and price This is our third of this style fan from Lasko

Choice Still OursPosted Thursday, October 13, 2011, at 10:33 PM
If we wait too long to pull the cord, or to zig, when we should zag, we can change the face of history, be a hero, or a drag.
By Arley Steinhour 101311
Can you feel it in the Morning
As the Sun peeks into sight,
Can you feel it in the Evening,
When there is no more daylight?
Have you seen the gentle weaving,
Of the branches in the trees,
Have you noticed music cleaving,
To your heart while on your knees?
Is there any solid answer,
To the questions that I ask,
Do we chug along in this world,
And ignore our Heaven task?
Of course, you know the answer,
As it weighs upon your heart,
There is no one, on which, to swear,
But Jesus, who Loved you from the start.
We may resist the calling,
We may not address the strife,
We can plod along, in sinful life,
Refusing to repent, this life.
We can qualify our action,
We can tell Him, we don't care,
We can join the sinful faction,
And become far less than air.
He will shake His head in wonderment,
As we elect the choice of worldly sin,
We can reject the sacrament,
Reject Eternity with Him.
God gave us choice, none other would,
We hold our future in our hand,
We have the power to do as we should,
Or, with Satan, in Hell, be banned.
I cannot tell you how to choose,
Your heart knows the way,
Lift your head and use your nose,
The sweet smell leads the way.
Look for Eternal flowers,
Instead of flaming lake,
Keep the faith with Yahweh, ours,
And Satan's hold, do break,
Through Prayer.

Over the past decade, United's earnings per share more than tripled, but Wall Street expects the nation's largest health insurer to generate a meager 3% increase this year, followed by 7% next year. As the economy improves, patients who've been skimping on health care to save on co-payments are expected to return to their doctors, raising costs for insurers. Also, Obamacare next year will cut payments for lucrative Medicare Advantage plans, sold by private insurers like United as an alternative to standard Medicare.
Shares of United sell for 12 times this year's earnings forecast, versus 15 times for the Standard & Poor's 500 index.

HEADWINDS IN United's larger health-plan business are masking Optum's fast growth, but that should soon change. By 2015, Optum will contribute 29% of operating earnings, up from 16% last year, according to Chris Rigg, an analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group. Wall Street expects earnings per share by then to hit $6.46, a 19% increase from this year's forecast. As Optum's growth becomes more obvious, the stock's premium to the health-plan group will increase, Rigg predicts. At 14 times the 2015 forecast, it would fetch about $90, or 38% more than the recent price of $65. Add to that a 1.7% yearly dividend yield.
There's more to like about Optum than fast earnings growth. With health insurance, more customers means more premiums collected, but also more cash that must be set aside for future health-care claims. Cash demands for Optum are much smaller, so United's free cash flow is likely to expand faster than its earnings in coming years. Wall Street is projecting $7.8 billion in 2015, up from $5.5 billion this year. Calculated against today's price, that will make for a free-cash-flow yield of nearly 12%.
That should afford some more perks for stockholders. Last month, United boosted its dividend payment by 32% and authorized more shares for repurchase. Expect more of the same in coming years. Last year, the company spent nearly $4 on repurchases for every dollar it paid out in dividends. If it spends the same this year as last, total cash returned to shareholders—dividends and repurchases combined—will work out to a yield of nearly 6%.
THE SECOND REASON to like United is that its health-plan business should prosper over the long term. Its scale will allow it to focus on profit margins rather than market-share growth in the early stages of the Obamacare rollout. For example, United plans only modest participation in the new health-plan exchanges for the previously uninsured. Those will bring a rush of new customers, but many will have pent-up demand for health care, so costs are expected to be higher than average. Early participants may price their plans too low in an effort to gain market share. United can afford to wait and see where pricing settles before making a play for market share.
Meanwhile, its Optum business will help drive down costs for its health plans, giving it a competitive edge, especially during the Medicare Advantage squeeze. That should pay off in future years as the ranks of the insured swell.
United is slated to report second-quarter earnings on the morning of July 18.
In a recent survey of 103 primary-care doctors by Wedbush Morgan, an investment bank, more than half reported flat or lower patient volumes. That could be a sign that the return to higher utilization rates is occurring more slowly than expected, and that health insurers like United will fare well in their earnings reports. The bigger reason to like the stock, however, is healthy growth potential and a set of attractive options for the company down the road. It can continue to use Optum as a cash cow and a means of creating in-house cost advantages for its health plans. Or it can diversify the business' customer base over time and eventually spin it off at a premium valuation. Either route should prove rewarding for shareholders.

Woman feared she was drugged by Cox
Miscellany: A court document sheds new light on why Denver Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox was arrested last fall on sexual assault charges involving a woman who told officers she was likely drugged, raped and impregnated by the football player.
The woman told investigators that doctors put the date of conception around the time she went to Cox's apartment with friends early on the morning of Sept. 6, according to the arrest warrant affidavit.
The woman said she believed she had been drugged because she felt unusually woozy after four drinks.
Tennessee imposes two-year probation
NCAA: Tennessee has self-imposed a two-year probation on its athletics department as part of its response to alleged NCAA violations, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported.
The 12 charges against Tennessee were made by the NCAA in February after nearly two years of investigating basketball coach Bruce Pearl, football coach Lane Kiffin and their coaching staffs.
Kiffin had already left Tennessee for Southern California, and Pearl was fired in March.
Basketball income, compensation up
NBA: Basketball-related income and total player compensation each increased by 4.8 percent in the NBA this past season.
The league said that with the union, it had completed the 2010-11 season audit. Players are currently locked out after the two sides failed to agree on a new collective bargaining agreement.
One of the issues is what percentage of basketball-related income players should be guaranteed.

Associated Builders & Contractors v. City of
Lansing – Labor / Employment
Michigan Supreme Court
In this case, plaintiff challenges a City of Lansing ordinance requiring city contractors to pay prevailing wages to employees. ABC contends that the ordinance violates the Michigan Constitution, as the Michigan Supreme Court struck down an identical ordinance, from the City of Detroit, in 1923. Here the lower court ruled that the Lansing ordinance is unconstitutional, and that the 1923 decision remains binding. But, the Court of Appeal reversed. As such, NFIB Legal Center urged the Michigan Supreme Court to affirm its 1923 decision, and emphasized the doctrine of stare decisis.
Cintas v. EEOC – Employment Discrimination
U.S. Supreme Court
The Supreme Court will review a Sixth Circuit decision holding that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) can pursue a pattern-or-practice claim under Section 706 of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII).
Michigan Building and Construction Trades Council v. Snyder – PLA Agreements
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
In July 2011, Governor Snyder signed the "Michigan Fair & Open Competition in Governmental Construction Act," which prohibits government entities from awarding contracts with Project Labor Agreements (PLAs). Michigan Building & Construction Trades Council, AFL-CIO sued to block the law. In February a federal district court declared the law invalid finding it impermissibly interferes with the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA"). The state appealed.
The adverse impacts of government-mandated PLAs are well supported, and Michigan has joined a large and growing number of states who have determined that government-mandated PLAs do not serve the states' interests. After the trial court struck down the first law, the legislature passed an amended law to correct perceived deficiencies. The trial court struck down the amended law. A second appeal followed.

Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471-1528)
woodcut, Image: 23.80 x 30.10 cm (9 5/16 x 11 13/16 inches). John L. Severance Fund 1993.9
In May 1515, the first rhinoceros since antiquity to reach Europe alive arrived in Lisbon, Portugal. The ruler of Gujarat, Sultan Muzafar II, presented the exotic beast to the governor of Portuguese India, Alfonso d'Albuquerque, who then sent it to King Manuel I. Later that year, the king sent the animal as a political gift to Pope Leo X. Sadly, the ship sank on its way to Italy, and the rhinoceros drowned.
Dürer and his contemporaries were fascinated with discoveries of the natural world, and as the rhinoceros made its journey, reports of the animal spread across Europe. Although he never saw the rhinoceros himself, Dürer based his woodcut of the animal on a description and a sketch that was sent to Nuremberg. The Latin text at the top of the print describes the rhinoceros to be the color of a speckled tortoise, covered in thick plates, and so well armed that even an elephant could not fend it off.
