TMZ and others are reporting that a nurse at the hospital where Kate Middleton was treated for morning sickness this week has been found dead ... and suicide is suspected -- after she mistakenly transferred a prank radio call to Kate's hospital room.
According to law enforcement, the woman was found dead at an address near King Edward VII hospital, where she worked, around 9:30 AM this morning.
Paramedics were dispatched to the scene but were unable to revive her. Scotland Yard is treating the death as a possible suicide.
The woman -- a nurse identified as Jacintha Saldanha -- was the victim of a prank by an Australian radio station, which called King Edward VII hospital on Wednesday pretending to be the Queen of England (with a terrible accent) and asking to speak to Kate.
The hospital has released a statement:
A spokesperson for Edward VII Hospital said, "We can confirm that Jacintha was recently the victim of a hoax call to the hospital. The hospital had been supporting her throughout this difficult time." The chairman of the hospital, Lord Glenarthur, added, "Jacintha was a first class nurse who cared diligently for hundreds of patients during her time with us. She will be greatly missed."

I recently had an employee leave my company and he is still due half his commission check for a placement. What is the industry standard on paying out the remaining commission if an employee leaves? PLEASE ADVISE!
wow... glad to know employees aren't allowed to badmouth previous employers... since we get killed on glassdoor (I've actually lost candidates over it) do I have a defamation case????
People gonna talk. Good look trying to stop them.
Not much different from here , Russ.
I can tell you from previously working at a national firm - you are only paid your commission when the client pays the bill. If you aren't still employed at that time, the money goes to the "House".
That's from personal experience. I checked with a lawyer here in CT at the time and CT law makes almost no mention of sales commissions or when they must be paid out.
I could not agree with Sandra more!! Calling in sick when you are on the way out is not commiting fraud. Using all of your vaca/sick days before you leave a company would be intelligent and not milking the company. You provided these benefits...is he not supposed to use them. Now, the 6 week notice for a sales position is odd, so I would ask yourself why you did a 6 week notice. Sales is about motivation and I can't imaging there was alot of client building in that 6 week period there fore probably not too many sales. But regardless, you accepted his 6 week notice.
He earned the commision, he placed people that you as the owner made money on. Not paying him would be unethical and immoral and be a pretty shitty thing to do. That kind of stuff gets around quick, remember what they say, do a good thing and your customer/employee tells 1 person, do something bad and they tell 500.
You don't want to be known as an agency that tries to screw their sales reps! my $.02
Gabriel, you've already answered your own question, "...he is still due half his commission check..."
Why are you even asking us for our opinion?
I have to laugh at us sometimes. What is one of the first things we say to a candidate who is looking for a new job?
"Ok, when can you interview, do you have any vacation time coming that you can use before you leave to do interviews?" "You don't, drat, how about a doctors appointment?"
Feels different when the foo is on the other shit, n'est pas?
lol at sandra
lol @Sandra so true!!!!
Sandra-I always see you state your mind...thank you! I have been on both sides of the job force, employee and employer, so I do understand both views, sometimes I need the advice from people in my industry. Thank you everyone for chiming in on this scenario!

Very nice and the staff was very nice also and helpful at all timesHotels.com 真实住客点评
Very pleased with hotel,very comfortable ask well as clean. would definitely stay there againHotels.com 真实住客点评
My daughter and I stayed overnight to check out a prospective job. The hotel was very clean, comfortable and conveniently located on the island. The staff was extremely knowledgable and friendly in helping us navigate our way around the island as first time visitors. Would definately stay again. Also, was reasonably priced for the island.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Winter night on Martha's Vineyard"
Pretty quiet in February on MV! But staff was welcoming and friendly. Recommended a couple of places that were open for dinner on a Sunday night. Chose to walk across street to Lucky Hank's which had opened in October and was a great surprise - great food in a small, friendly old home that has been totally renovated. Room was clean and comfortable and […] continental breakfast was an adequate start to the day. Would love to go back in the summer and see the island when it wakes up from its "hibernation". 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Nice hotel, a little over-priced for what you get"
Nice clean room. Front desk staff were very helpful. Hotel a little bit of a walk or short shuttle drive from the stretch of Main Street that has all the shops and restaurants. I felt the hotel was over priced for what you get. There was no room service, no hot breakfast (the cold free breakfast was, well, cold and free). Housekeeping not available […] in the evening. No real amenities. I guess one is paying for staying in Martha's Vineyard. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Nice enough but would have preferred a B&B"
The Clarion Carriage House is part of a nationwide chain of hotels, which have high standards but hardly rank next to the personalized and intimate service of a B & B. I was disappointed in the breakfast (mostly the cardboard predictable type) and in the institutional feel of the hotel. On the other hand, we had two queen beds (which was what we asked […] for) and the location was perfect for us on foot to reach Edgartown easily. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

the hotel was nice and convenient to our friends house to whom we had to visit after passing of a loved one. upset that at 230 am the fire alarms went off and no one was informed of anything. not only did it go off once for 1/2 hour it repeatedly went off 3 more times. we were never given an apology or any compensation for the inconvenience. also--they […] slipped the wrong bill under our door with a rate much lower then mine. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Great for your money !"
Great, great, great !!! Location and hotel. For the price is a wonderful place to stay. There is a grocery store just a few steps, just cross the parking lot. The hotel provides you with a small fridge and microwave. We rented a car and went all around the island.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Great Edgartown Option"
The least expensive hotel in Edgartown with no minimum night stay and a 24 hour cancellation policy. All kinds of shops and restaurants between you and lands' end, .08 miles away at the Chappy Ferry. Very clean room, friendly but wisecracking service, granted our late check out request, and stored our bags for 6 hours after check out until we had time […] to come back for them that night. There are certainly nicer hotels in Edgartown, but for the price and convenience of the Clarion I was impressed, would stay again. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
The hotel is a great location and very convenient. Overall, I would recommend, it especialy at the rate per night.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
This hotel actually does have handicap access. The handicap bedroom does not have a roll-in shower, but does have a chair in the tub. I mention this because the popular myth is that the Harbor View is the only handi-cap friendly hotel on the island. This is not the case, but you have to call places like this and talk to them about what they have.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Poor breakfast and odd envelope"
The hotel is modern and clean. However it has some issues which potential visitors should consider . Firstly the breakfast is some pkts of cereal , a few buns in wrappers and coffee in a thermos. The hotel has a bar, it is noisy and not often occupied by guests but by locals, this applies to the car park aswell, with locals using it and causing residents […] to parking further from the entrance than is needed. Additionally and uniquely in all the countries I have visited including the USA 52 times, a envelope asking for a gratuity for the housekeeper. I was dumbfounded as if I find the service to be above what I have paid for I will leave something. But an envelope spelling it out and the name of the housekeeper was in my opinion tactless. Not a bad location but nothing to write home about or recommend 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"The Clarion Carriage House on Martha's Vineyard."
Very convenient hotel. Right on Upper Main St., and surprisingly quiet for the location. Easy to get food from nearby market and many nearby eateries and places to walk. Quiet, clean, comfortable and a great place to rest after a day of activities on the island.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Typical small hotel in a great location"
This is about the only chain hotel on Martha's Vineyard. It was very convenient to Edgartown as well as Oak Bluffs. There are several places within walking distance and if you don't mind a 15-20 minute walk, you can get downtown to Edgartown. It was clean and friendly and very comfortable beds. The continental breakfast left something to be desired, […] however. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"very convenient and good enough for us"
We are used to staying in luxury accommodations but nothing was available so we stayed at the Clarion. It was surprisingly doable! The location was perfect for fun walks and great restaurants. The Grill is attached to the hotel and you will think you are eating in a 5 star restaurant when you taste the entrees. Really, we are very fussy family and this […] food was quality food. The hotel even offers 20% off your meals at the Grill which is a fantastic deal. Front desk ladies were wonderful! Hotel breakfast was a bit pathetic but better than nothing. Linens were cheap but clean and the beds were ok. All in all, it was a good deal for the money. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"No elavator"

"Quick stay but good"
The in season price tag is high but there was a fridge and a microwave and stop and shop was right next door so that with the cereal, English muffin,Danish, coffee and tea breakfast that was included we prob defrayed some overall costs. We were in walking distance to edgartown and we took the bus to other places. Pleasant stay. Hotel staff were friendly […] and helpful. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
Booking through Hotels.com did not give us our triple A discount nor did the Clairion. Disa;ppointed that the restaurant was not open for breakfast, but the Continental was adequate.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Enjoyed our stay."
The Clarion Carriage House Inn was clean and well kept. The mini-fridge was a nice addition for keeping fresh fruit and drinks. The complimentary breakfast was simple but completely satisfying. The location was great with just a short drive into the Edgartown waterfront. Enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Clarion Claridge House Inn, Martha's Vineyard"
While the room was clean and assessible to the beaches and activities (by car), the rooms were quite costly. The continental breakfast was limited - no waffles, yogurt, or fruit other than apples. On our first morning, the maintenance workers were repairing lights and hanging pictures. They were knocking and pounding far too early for paying, vacationing […] customers, and imagine our surprise when we learned that there was no elevator! With this said, the front desk personnel were friendly and quite helpful with all requests. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Martha's Vineyard was very busy the two days we were there.

"Very basic lodging"
The Clarion Edgartown is located on a busy street so stay away from the rooms at the front of the building. It is adjacent to s strip shopping area with lots of cars coming and going. The rooms are adequate but the hotel has few amenities. On the positive side, it is an easy ride to South Beach which is very nice and the staff is friendly. I would probably […] not choose to stay there on my next trip. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"Impressed, I would stay here and again"
I was extremely impressed with this hotel. It is very modern, with it's granite counter top and nice and hot shower! There is also continental breakfast served daily. You should bring you lap top because the media center is a blast from the past! There is also a television, microwave, coffee pot and fridge in room. The hotel is small to medium in size. […] Perfect for a quite get away. It is located less than 100 yards from a grocery store, a bank, and a restaurant call the Grill which gives a 20% discount if you are staying at the hotel. The hotel is also across the street from a Dairy Queen, a taylor and a bike rental stand. There is also a bus stop in front of the grocery store. I would stay there again. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

Helium is collected almost entirely from underground pockets!
Helium is the second lightest gas and follows hydrogen. Helium is very valuable in the scientific world and has many applications in the non-scientific world, too. It is extremely useful and practical. Helium is inert which means it won't combust when combined with air and energy and it is far lighter than air.
Liquid helium is used to cool some of the most powerful electromagnets in the world. It is also the first known superfluid, or a fluid with many interesting qualities. Helium is actually pretty rare and a limited resource. In fact, we're running out of it. Yet, it is the second most common element in the universe.
Here on Earth, though, there are only two places to find it. It can be found in the earth's atmosphere in its exosphere which is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere. It is such a small amount, though, that it is much too expensive to extract from the atmosphere. The second place is in the ground where pockets of helium are found. It is made through alpha decay.

In his scholarship, Waltz asked the tough questions about the difficult and important issues. He was motivated by both theoretical and policy questions, the latter often setting the agenda for the former. He was intellectually courageous, usually staking out iconoclastic positions -- some of which were initially derided, many of which ended up becoming mainstream thinking. No matter what one's theoretical persuasion, he was an intellectual force that had to be reckoned with.
With the Iranian government having disqualified two of the country's boldest presidential candidates, it is unlikely the election will address any major ideological questions. But Iranians know that there is a lot more at stake than ideology.
The debate about what to do in Syria has been sidetracked by discussions of credibility and reputation. But both logic and evidence prove that reputations are mostly imaginary. Obama should not let fears that others might think him irresolute drive him to disaster. Instead, he should refocus on what U.S. interests really are in Syria, and how he can best obtain them.
The high turnout for the recent general election indicates that the Pakistani public is warming up to democracy. But participation is a double-edged sword: by virtue of having had its voice heard, the public now has heightened expectations of government performance. If Sharif fails to deliver, public disaffection could set in rather quickly and powerfully.
After an inconclusive vote and months of gridlock, Enrico Letta was sworn in this week as Italy's prime minister. But his center-left party is weak and bereft of ideas -- a problem facing the left Europe-wide.
Ahead of Iran's presidential election in June, President Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Khamenei are squabbling over the succession. Ahmadinejad wants Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, his chief of staff, to run but Khamenei disapproves. Regardless of who wins, the real loser will be Iranian democracy.
After months of negotiations, Kosovo and Serbia have finally agreed to normalize relations. The deal pushes some questions aside and requires both parties to accept certain fictions. Nevertheless, it could as a template for melting the region's other frozen conflicts.
For the second time in less than six months, polio vaccine workers in Pakistan have come under fire. For the gunmen, killing health care workers has been seen as a legitimate response to a nefarious extension of Western power. And, for the CIA, faux vaccine campaigns have sometimes been justified as part of the war on terror. Both sides are wrong: denying or providing health care should never be an instrument of statecraft.
The world may expect great things from India, but as extensive reporting reveals, Indians themselves turn out to be deeply skeptical about their country's potential. That attitude, plus New Delhi's dysfunctional foreign-policy bureaucracy, prevent long-term planning of the sort China has mastered -- and are holding India back.
For technologies from the global South, worldwide success usually means shedding local ties and, should all go well, returning home triumphant. It is a treacherous road, and most of the benefits of such projects will never make it to the communities in which they started. But the alternative strategy of focusing on local problems and solutions is even less appealing.

Yin and Yang Transformation Therapy in Cancer Patients
by Trong Le Do, Hélène Momer, Marie Françoise Belin, Françoise Argoul
In conventional Western medicine, cancer is depicted from a somatic point of view, as a clone of cells which has proliferated at the expense of its environment and has outgrown the body control mechanisms. These cells are considered as abnormal, hostile to the body. When such cell proliferation is discovered in a patient, the occidental medicine, in this state of emergency, proposes a palliative treatment consisting of annihilating the abnormal cancer cells by chemotherapy or immunotherapy. In Asian medicines, the treatment of cancer is performed in a healing optic consisting of restoring, in priority, an adequate internal terrain in the sick organ. In fact, the visible cancer manifestations (the symptoms) are only a fraction of a global syndrome of a major deleterious alteration of Yin/Yang imbalance. To understand cancer processes in a global way, it is necessary to reach the root of the disorders by deciphering the impairments of Yin/Yang imbalance.

Dowdell, who is in Ruston working out this summer, will serve her second tour overseas after playing in France last year.
"I get to get to play against some of the elite players in Australia," said Dowdell. "It gives me an opportunity to see another part of the world. My goal is to continue playing professionally, and if that is overseas, then I'm okay with doing that."

Fire coach Chris Lucas said he knows what his team has added with the signing of the 6-foot-2 power forward.
"Shanavia has proven in the NCAA and in France that she is a high-quality player capable of scoring and controlling the paint on defense," said Lucas. "As well as being a great scorer and rebounder, Shanavia is a versatile defender who can guard a range of positions and opposing stars in this league. Across the floor we have an athletic team and that will allow us to get up and down the court and play some entertaining basketball."
During her senior year at LA Tech, Dowdell averaged 18.0 points and 12.4 rebounds per game, ranking in the Top 5 in the nation in rebounding. The Calera, Alabama native was drafted in the second round of the 2010 WNBA Draft by the Washington Mystics before moving to France for one season where she starred for France LBF side Toulouse Metropole Basket.
She returned to the WNBA in 2011 with the San Antonio Silver Stars.
Townsville finished tied for sixth in the 10-team league last year.

HARLAN — The Bell County girls are headed to the 13th Region championship game for the first time since 1996. Sophomore guard Maci Morris scored 34 points and grabbed 13 rebounds on Saturday as the Lady Cats held on for a 65-56 win over Whitley County in the semifinals.
"We're just tickled to death to have that opportunity. These girls have put in a lot of time in the preseason and throughout the season and they've earned the right to have a shot at it," said Bell coach David Teague.
Bell led by as many as 18 points in the second quarter, but the Lady Colonels closed the gap to 11 by halftime and got as close as 43-42 after Brandi Smith hit two free throws late in the third quarter and two more early in the fourth.
When the Lady Cats need a play they usually turn to Morris, and more often than not she comes through. She immediately answered with a drive down the lane for a basket. Whitley missed the front end of bonus on two occasions and Bell got two free throws each from Jess Sanders and Morris to stretch the lead back out to 49-42 with 5:12 to play.
From that point the Lady Cats hit 14-of-18 free throws to close out a nine-point win.
"We had talked a lot about Maci and Jess penetrating down in there and not always necessarily looking to score but also finding people," Teague said. "I don't think there are many that can guard them off the dribble and once they get in there the defense has to collapse and they can kick it out for shots or get fouled and get to the line. Really, that's all we did in the second half was put the ball in their hands and let them go with it."
Sanders finished with 15 points while Morgan Garnett added six and Kelli Smith five for Bell. Morris was a perfect 16-for-16 from the line in the game and the Lady Cats were 28-for-32 as a team.
Whitley was led by Brandi Smith's 26 points while Maria Johnson finished with 12, Bethany Powers nine and Kandace Craig seven.
"We just did not have the excitement in practice that we had Tuesday. I knew on Tuesday that we would win (Wednesday against Clay County) and I told our coaches that," Lady Colonel coach Larry Anderson said. "I just didn't feel it in practice on Friday and I didn't feel it during warmups. We just didn't have that pep in our step today."
Garnett got the Lady Cats off to a fast start with a 3-pointer for the first points of the game and Morris added a basket to make it 5-2. Whitley got a four points each from Brandi Smith and Powers to close within 11-8, but Kelli Smith hit a 3 for Bell and Sarah Collins hit a jumper. Six free throws from Morris put Bell up 22-13 after one.
Whitley County was unable to connect from long range for most of the game and hit just three 3-pointers in the contest. It was 24-15 when the Lady Cats went on a 9-0 run to take command.
Sanders started it with a runner off an inbounds play and a Kelli Smith steal led to a Morris layup. Sanders hit a 3 and another steal led to a breakaway basket for Morris and Bell lead was 33-15 with 3:40 to go in the half.
"Whitley had shot the ball lights-out against Clay and we couldn't throw one in the ocean against Lynn Camp (in the first round). It was kind of the reverse of that today and it was big for us to make those shots and come out with the early lead and build some confidence," Teague added. "Whitley is a very good shooting team and they look for the (outside) shot a lot. Our girls did a good job of staying focused on trying to take that away."
The Lady Colonels got two 3-pointers from Maria Johnson as they closed the gap to 35-24 by halftime.
"Bell County came out and played a heck of a game. They were very aggressive offensively and they were aggressive in their defense. They kind of took us out of things by being aggressive," Anderson added. "We did a good job coming back, but it seemed like it took so much out of us. We missed a lot of free throws and sometimes that comes from being tired."
Whitley forced the Lady Cats into seven turnovers in the third quarter while Brandi Smith scored 10 points, including six free throws, as the Lady Colonels worked their way back into the game.
"Our focus and intensity was there throughout halftime, you just have to give Whitley credit. They're a good basketball team and they started hitting some shots and forced us into some turnovers," he said. "They really tried to be physical with Maci in the second half. Once they started fouling we just had to knock down free throws and we did a very good job of that."
Morris scored 12 of her points in the fourth quarter and Sanders went 8-of-10 from the line as the Lady Cats pulled away down the stretch.
Whitley County ends the season with a 20-11 record. They lose just two seniors: Powers and forward Sabrina Sizemore as well as coach Anderson, who is stepping down.
"The sun will come up tomorrow and we'll go on living. Somebody will come in to coach them next season and I hope they win it all, to be honest with you," he said.
Bell County (27-5) will take on Corbinin the championship game at 7 p.m. on Monday. The Lady Redhounds got past host Harlan County 47-43 in Saturday's late semifinal. The Lady Cats won both of their meetings with Corbin handily this season, but those game were back on Nov. 29 and Dec. 4.
"Corbin is a very guard-oriented team and they play a lot like we do, they like to get it up and down the court. They're a very well-coached team and they've been playing very well of late," Teague said. "It's going to be a tough match-up and that's what you expect this time of year."

Just When You Thought The Art Wall Was Done...
This framed chalkboard was the inspiration behind creating a chalkboard on the entire wall where I planned to hang a collection of art. Initially the plan was to hang the small chalkboard alongside the other frames. But then it occurred to me that this was kind of odd...hang a framed chalkboard on a chalkboard wall? Hum. Wouldn't that kind of defeat the whole purpose?
Then I got the idea to hang it on the adjacent wall. The slight irony of placing a framed chalkboard next to a chalkboard wall appealed to me. A tiny bit of the surreal. I recently watched the Thomas Crown Affair again, have you seen it? The scene with the endless number of men in bowler hats, inspired by the Magritte painting The Son Of Man, has apparently got me thinking about surrealism.
The small anniversary date frame was painted a golden yellow to bring a small pop of color to the art wall, and it is one of my favorite elements here. But it does get slightly lost. So I decided to refinished the frame of the chalkboard to be hung in a similar color.
Not only does this help the framed chalkboard make sense hanging here, but it also ends up highlighting the small frame.
So now the art wall is done. I think.

Ahh yes, Pierce Brosnan I mean The Thomas Crown Affair! One of my husbands favorite movies and my favorite men! Did you know that Pierce middle name is Brendan? Hmmm, I wonder where my youngest son got his name from!

I really like how you used the adjacent wall - it works. Also any reference to 'The Thomas Crown Affair' wins points in my book... in this rare case the remake is better than the original.

I love how putting that frame on the adjacent wall seems to pull a piece of the chalkboard wall with it! What do you think about now putting one square of that adjacent wall's paint color in another empty frame on the chalkboard wall, to make it look like the pieces were "exchanged?" And a question...In the photos, I thought the gold frame looked like it matched the small gold frame already, before you refinished it; is the color that much different in person? Thanks, Janell. Love your blog!

To answer michiganhome's question:
Yes, I should post a before picture. I did hang the framed chalkboard first, before refinishing it and it didn't look right or achieve the goal of highlighting the smaller frame. I know it may not seem like it, but I try not to look for completely unnecessary work!!! :) Janell - February 17, 2010 at 11:26 AM

I love the way it juxtaposes the whole theme of your chalk/art wall. Stunning effect
I was enraptured by your wall shared it with my hubby (something I never do.) We are going to try something similar in our office. Wish me luck! - February 17, 2010 at 3:43 PM

Very cool!
I have a solid smooth door in my garage that I painted with chalkboard paint and I love it. I'm considering some chalkboard graffiti for the top if I can find the right saying! - February 17, 2010 at 5:57 PM
