The study also found work force health management, or wellness programs, have emerged as employers' top long-term strategy for controlling health spending. Over three-fourths of large employers said that senior leadership is "supportive" or "very supportive" of health management programs as a means of encouraging more health-conscious behavior.
"While most employers believe that health management programs are making a difference," said Frisch, "proving a return on investment remains a challenge for many. That said, there are many examples of programs saving lives by identifying a ticking time bomb and getting that person immediate care."

Before I go into Verizon and flip a lid...ended contract that included my smart phone (contract ended) and sisters EnV2 which must have had 3 or 4 more months to go...I read the customer agreement to double check...her early termination should have been $175 minus $5 for each month done, correct? So, $75...my final statement shows early termination of $200 for her line. Isn't that impossible when the initial cost is $175...and I checked, it is not considered an "advanced device" which would be initial fee of $350. HELP! please :/
Were you ever Alltel customers? Do you still have an Alltel plan??? If her phone is an Alltel phone the ETF is $200 based on the Alltel terms of Service. Once she gets a new one at the appropriate time, the new device would fall under Verizon's Terms of Service.
There are several options for you to do. Instead of canceling her phone have you talked to her about taking Assumption of Liability for the phone. In other words For her to split off of your plan on to a single plan all on her own to where she would be the Account owner all on her own given she is at least 18 years of age (19 in Alabama). Is there anyone else in the family or do you know of anyone else that needs a phone for them to take What we call AOL (Assumption of Liability.) for the phone? If not the I would say just wait out those last few months with the phone turned off until it comes out of contract into a month to month thing. Then Disconnect. Who knows you might find someone during that time to take over the phone from you. This way you can avoid any ETF fees. If not I say call and they would be happy to discuss anything you need provided you are the account owner or account manager.

International ClassD01H 001/10DescriptionFIELD OF INVENTION This invention relates to the production of optical fiber ribbons and bundles (Lightpack.RTM.) and, more particularly, to that portion of the production line commonly referred to as the buffering or extrusion line. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Optical fibers possess signal transmission capabilities which vastly exceed those of metallic conductors and, as a consequence, the communications industry relies more and more on optical fibers for such transmissions. Despite the advantages to be realized with optical fibers, they possess inherent disadvantages which must be overcome in order for their full potential to be realized. For example, optical fibers are quite brittle and can break if bent too sharply or are even subject to small elongations due to tensile stress. Furthermore, even where stresses are not sufficient to cause breakage, they can cause increases in optical attenuation. In addition, splicing individual fibers can present other problems leading to decreased transmission capability or increased signal loss. It is generally preferable to handle and splice fibers in groups rather than individually, and, as a consequence, they are often grouped together in the form of a bundle of fibers or disposed side by side in a matrix material to form a ribbon. Cabling can then comprise stacking a plurality of ribbons, as is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,129,469 of Knab, or combining several bundles into a larger bundle. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,289,558 there is shown as arrangement for assembling a plurality of fibers into a ribbon configuration. A plurality of rotatable fiber spools, each containing an individual fiber wound thereon, supply fiber to a series of sheaves which orient the fibers pulled off of the rotating spools into a side by side configuration which then proceed through an alignment stage including one or more fiber organizers and then into a laminating apparatus where the matrix material is applied to form the multi-fiber ribbon. The ribbon is then wound on a take-up spool. Throughout the entire process, the fibers are maintained under tension which, among other things, causes the supply spools to rotate as the fiber is pulled therefrom. The use of rotating supply reels, especially when the fiber is pulled therefrom, has several disadvantages. First and perhaps foremost, is that the fiber is under tension, hence, careful monitoring of the tension is necessary to prevent fiber breakage. Secondly, it is necessary to have a braking or clutch arrangement to govern the speed of rotation of the supply spools, which can cause further possibly deleterious increases in tension on the fiber. Thirdly, tie-ins must be made at relatively slow speeds of rotation of the supply spools. A tie-in is simply when a second fiber is inserted into the extruder to continue the manufacturing process when the first fiber reaches its end. Also, slowing down the speed of rotation of the supply spools also requires a modification of the extruder to insure uniform application of, for example, the matrix material. Finally, the use of rotating spools prevents measuring the transmission characteristics of the fiber during pay-out. To overcome the problems resulting from fiber tension and rotating supply spools, over-the-spool-end pay-out (OTE) has been used. In over-the-end pay-out, the supply spool is stationary and the fiber flies off of one end thereof, under near zero tension. As a consequence, the inertia of the spool is eliminated and no braking or clutching thereof is required, thus rapid start up and shut down of the fiber pay-out is made possible. In addition, the speed range is quite broad, from, for example, zero to twenty meters per second (0-20 m/sec). Inasmuch as the spool is non-rotating, the inside end of the fiber can be used for continuously testing the transmission characteristics of the fiber such as with an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) attached to the inside, non-moving, fiber end. There is virtually no pull-back tension on the spool, and rotating shafts and spindles are eliminated, materially contributing to the simplicity of the fiber pay-out system. Despite these numerous advantages of the OTE pay-out, there is a problem inherent to the arrangement, and that is there exists a tendency to impart a twist to the fiber between the spool and the remainder of the system. This twist can accumulate to where the fiber can become badly tangled, even to the extent that the fiber might break or the system must be shut down to remove the tangle. It can be appreciated that where a large number of supply spools is involved, this can become an extremely serious problem. The present invention is directed to the substantial, if not complete, nullification of this twist so that accumulation thereof and consequent fiber entanglement is eliminated. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises a means for passing the coated fiber emerging from the spool in over-the-end pay-out through a capstan and belt arrangement wherein the belt maintains the fiber in contact with the surface of the capstan. A means is provided for positioning the fiber on the surface of the capstan in a manner such that as the fiber and the sheave member or capstan move through at least a partial revolution of the sheave member, a twist is imparted to the fiber which counteracts the twist therein imparted by the OTE pay-out. As a consequence, the fiber between the supply spool and the capstan has virtually no twist and tangling is substantially completely eliminated. In greater detail, the invention comprises, in a preferred embodiment thereof, a module located at a focal point of each supply spool. The module comprises a platform upon which a freely rotatable sheave member is mounted. First and second rotatable idler sheaves are mounted in fixed position on the platform, and a third idler sheave is mounted on the distal end of a movable arm, the proximal end of which is pivotally mounted to the axis of one of the idler sheaves. A flat endless belt is disposed about the idler sheaves in a manner such that it bears against at least a portion of the surface of the sheave member. The movable or pivotable arm is spring loaded so that it maintains sufficient belt tension to maintain, in turn, the belt in firm contact with the surface of the sheave member. Fiber from the supply spool is passed through a guide nozzle mounted in a stanchion which, in turn, is mounted on the platform adjacent the sheave member. The guide nozzle is positioned to guide the fiber onto the surface of the sheave member so that it is positioned between the surface of the sheave member and the surface of the belt which bears against that surface, and is maintained in contact with both the surface and the belt through at least a portion of their length. In accordance with a feature of the invention, the height of the axis of the nozzle, and hence, the vertical position of its exit end relative to the surface of the sheave member, which is vertically oriented, is made adjustable by means for raising or lowering the stanchion relation to the base. The means for raising the stanchion, in its simplified form, comprises one or more shims, which afford a simple and quick means for achieving extremely accurate positioning of the height of the nozzle relative to the base, and hence, relative to the surface of the sheave means or capstan. Alternative means, such as, for example, a camming arrangement, might readily be used to move the stanchion or, alternatively, the nozzle may be mounted in the stanchion in such a manner that it might be moved up or down, as desired. In operation, the fiber exiting the module is under tension from further apparatus downstream, and, hence, as the fiber is pulled through the module, the sheave member rotates and the belt also is caused to move. However, between the supply spool and the entrance to the module, i.e., the nozzle, there is very little tension inasmuch as the fiber pays out freely, and with no force such as a brake, from the spool. As was pointed out hereinbefore, the OTE pay-out imparts a twist to the fiber over this distance. It has been found that when the fiber on the surface of the sheave member is off center relative to the belt, the belt imparts a twist to the fiber which, depending upon how far off center the fiber is, effectively counteracts the twist in the fiber coming from the supply spool. As a consequence, when the degree of nozzle offset is correct, there is little or no twist in the fiber between the supply spool and the nozzle, and the threat or possibility of twist accumulation and consequent entanglement, is effectively eliminated. An adjustable belt tensioner functions to insure that the belt, during operation, bears against the surface of the sheave member to insure proper interaction between the belt and the fiber. These and other features and advantages of the present invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description, read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of an optical fiber bundling system; FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing, in partially diagrammatic form, the system of the present invention; FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the fiber twist module of the present invention; FIG. 4 is a plan view of the module of FIG. 3; FIG. 5 is a side elevation view of the module of FIG. 3; FIG. 6 is another side elevation view of the module of FIG. 3; and FIG. 7 is a diagrammatic view of a portion of the sheave member, the belt, and the fiber, illustrating the action of the belt and sheave member on the fiber. DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is applicable to any of a number of different stages in a fiber optic cable production line, especially where the incorporation of coated fibers into the operation is necessary. In FIG. 1 there is shown, in diagrammatic form, a line stage wherein a plurality of coated fibers are bundled together and which utilizes the present invention. The stage 11 comprises a first group of six fiber supply spools 12 which supply over-the-end paid out fibers 13, each to an individual module 14. The fibers 13 exiting the modules 14 are passed over a first rotating or rotatable sheave 16 and a second sheave 17, over idler or special treatment (such as oiling) wheels 18 and 19, to the first stage 21 of a binder and there through the second stage 22 thereof. In like manner, a plurality of supply spools 23 supply, through OTE pay-out, fibers 24 to modules 26 and through them to sheave 17, wheels 18 and 19 and into binder members 21 and 22. All of the fibers 13 and 24 are bound together in binders 21 and 22 so that there emerges from binder 22 a plurality of fibers bound together in a bundle 27 which proceeds in the direction of the arrow to further processing stages. The arrangement of FIG. 1 makes possible a rapid tie-in that is superior to many ways to present day practices. Prior to the use of OTE pay-out, production tie-ins had to be made at a fiber speed of approximately 100 feet per minute (FPM) because the rotating spools would not accelerate to a speed above that without inducing fiber breakage. With the rotating spool type pay-out, in, for example, an extrusion operation, the operator would mark the fiber exiting the extruder, slow the line down from 400 FPM to 100 FPM or less, make the tie in, cut out the fiber on the almost empty supply spool, and return the apparatus to production line speed. This procedure has several disadvantages, not the least of which is that buffered fiber scrap is being generated from the marking point until the take-up transfers onto a new fiber spool. The procedure necessitates, in the extrusion process, an oversized extrusion tube to accommodate two fibers, which can subsequently produce eccentricities in the normal fiber buffering process, for example. Further, as pointed out hereinbefore, reducing the line speed can cause extrusion instabilities. Virtually all of these disadvantages are overcome by OTE pay-out which has, as pointed out hereinbefore, the potential for fiber tangling. Thus, in the arrangement of FIG. 1, the modules 13 and 26 are added to obviate this undesirable result. In FIG. 2 there is depicted a supply spool 31 housed in an open ended cylindrical member 32. The function of member 32 is to confine the fiber in OTE pay-out to prevent it from flying out and become entangled with adjacent fibers also being paid out or possibly with other equipment. Spool 31 comprises a hub 34 about which fiber 33 is wound and first and second end flanges 36 and 37. For facilitation of the OTE pay-out, the diameter D of flange or disc 37 is somewhat smaller than that of flange 36, and has rounded edges, as shown, to prevent the fiber 33 from being pulled over or otherwise contacting sharp edges or corners which might damage the fiber. Adjacent the open end of tube or cylindrical member 32 is a pay-out module 38 which is mounted by any suitable means 39 relative to the spool and tube assembly. Thus, module 38 can be mounted on the spindle 41 holding spool 31 or to the assembly (not shown) on which the spindle or spindles 41 are carried. Module 38 has an input nozzle 42 of suitable material, preferably having a ceramic base or coating, which is preferably located along the center line of the spindle 41 and hence the centerline of spool 31, and defines, in effect, a focal point for the fiber 33. In practice, it has been found that the focal point, i.e., the input to nozzle 42, should be at least 0.8D to prevent too sharp bending of fiber 33 as its enters nozzle 42. One of the advantages of OTE pay-out is illustrated in FIG. 2 by a fiber testing member 43 attached to the stationary inner end 44 of the fiber 33 wound on spool hub 34. Inasmuch as spool 31 is stationary during the pay-out operation, inner end is likewise stationary, and continuous testing of, for example, the conductivity of fiber 33 by means of member 43 during the pay-out operation, is possible. Member 43 may be any of a number of testing devices, such as, for example, an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). However, one of the disadvantages of the OTE pay-out is, as discussed hereinbefore, the tendency of the pay-out to impart a twist to the fiber which, over a period of time, accumulates in effect so that the fiber becomes entangled with itself to the point where it may fail to feed properly to the following operational devices. FIGS. 3 and 4 are a perspective and a plan view, respectively of the module 38 of FIG. 2, the principal function of which is to route the fiber 33 to subsequent operations in the production line while, at the same time, counteracting the twist imparted thereto by the OTE pay-out. In its preferred form, as depicted in FIGS. 3 through 6, module 58 comprises a base member 46 of suitable material such as, for example, aluminum, upon which is rotatably mounted a sheave member 47 by means of a shaft 48. Base member 46 has an adjusting slot 49 which allows proper positioning of shaft 48. Also rotatably mounted on base 46 are first and second idler wheels or sheaves 51 and 52 which, like sheave member 47, are freely rotatable on shafts 53 and 54 respectively. It will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art that shafts 48, 53, and 54 may be fixed and sheaves 47, 51, and 52 rotatable thereon, or they may be rotatably mounted to base 46 and sheaves 47, 51 and 52 affixed thereto. Pivotally mounted on shaft 53 is an elongated arm 56, at the distal end of which is rotatably mounted an idler wheel or sheave 57 on a shaft 58. Sheave 57 is mounted to the freely rotatable with respect to arm 56 which is, in turn, freely pivotable with respect to shaft 53. A rod 59 having a biasing spring 61 thereon extends from shaft 54, about which it is retained by suitable means 62, to arm 56, against which the end of spring 61 bears. Thus, spring 61 applies a biasing force in the direction of the arrow to arm 56, and hence, to sheave or wheel 57. An endless belt 63 of a material, such as urethane, is wound about the several sheaves 47, 51, 52, and 57 and spring 61 functions to tension the belt so that it bears against the surface 64 of sheave 47 over a portion of its circumference and defining a centerline of contact therewith, as shown in FIG. 5. Over this portion of contact between the surface 64 and the belt 63, the belt and sheave move together. Over a period of time or of extended usage, belt 63 may tend to develop a certain amount of slack through aging. To compensate for this, an auxiliary belt tensioner 66 is provided which comprises an adjusting wheel 67 mounted on a shaft 68 in base 46, and a tensioning pin 69 spaced from shaft 68. Thus, as wheel 67 is rotated, pin 69 bears against belt 63 forcing it slightly outward, thereby insuring that it bears against surface 64 even as it ages. Wheel 67 is mounted such that it does not slip, hence, despite the forces that may be exerted on pin 69, by belt 63, it does not change position, thereby maintaining the tension on belt 63. Pin 69 generates, in effect, a back tension on belt 63 as a result of rubbing thereagainst which functions as a braking arrangement to prevent belt runaway. The fiber 33 from the OTE pay-out from spool 34 of FIG. 2 is routed to that portion of the surface 64 of sheave 47 with which belt 63 is in contact by means of nozzle 42. Nozzle 42 is mounted in a stanchion 71 adjacent sheave member 47, so that nozzle 42 is positioned to direct the fiber 33 as shown in particular in FIG. 4. In accordance with a feature of the invention, the height of stanchion 71 and hence of nozzle 42 is adjustable by suitable means 72, shown in FIG. 4 as shims, but which can take any of a number of forms such as a cam, a wedge, or wedges, or more sophisticated screw type adjustments. It can be appreciated that moving the exit end of nozzle 42 up or down vertically moves the position of the fiber 33 relative to belt 63 and surface 64. In FIG. 7 there is depicted to result of having the fiber pass through sheave member and belt contact portion in an off-center position. In FIG. 7 the surface 64 is shown as being slightly convex, which is a known means for insuring that the belt strap is centered on the surface 64 of sheave member 47. Fiber 33 is shown as being off-center by a distance X. In such a configuration, the belt 63 imparts a twist of fiber 33 as shown by the arrow, with the amount of displacement X determining, within limits, the amount of twist. As a consequence, when the fiber 33 is offset from the centerline in the proper direction and by the proper amount, the twist in the fiber imparted by the OTE pay-out is effectively nullified and the tendency of such twisted fiber to become untangled is obviated. In practice, it has been found that where the offset X from the center is in the range of approximately forty to fifty thousandths of an inch (0.040"-0.050"), the OTE imparted twist is substantially nullified or canceled. In the apparatus of FIGS. 4 through 7, the stanchion without shims or other elevation means places the exit end of the nozzle 42 in a position where the fiber is directed on to the surface 64 of the sheave member 47 approximately forty to fifty thousandths of an inch (0.040"-0.050") below the centerline of surface 64 and belt contact, thereby offsetting the fiber by that amount from the centerline. Depending the OTE layout, which is determined by the winding direction of the fiber on the supply spool 34, this offset may be adequate to nullify the OTE twist. On the other hand, it may be necessary to raise the nozzle end to place the fiber on the other side of the center line, hence the means 72 must raise the stanchion by twice the desired offset. Thus, if 0.040 inch offset is required on the other side of the center line, the means 72 should raise the nozzle the original offset distance plus an additional 0.040 inch. For example, if the stanchion originally locates the nozzle 0.040" below the centerline, then the means 72 should rise the stanchion approximately 0.080 inch. In general, it has been found that a value of X that is four or five times the fiber diameter produces the desired result, although for different speeds of OTE payout and different fiber diameters, the range can be from, for example, two to six or even less or more. The fiber 33 emerging from module 38 will have a twist that is imparted by the module itself, as explained hereinbefore. However, this twist has little deleterious effect inasmuch as the fiber is under tension from the module on. On the other hand, looking back from the module to the supply spool, there is virtually no twist The invention, therefore, makes feasible the use of OTE pay-out at production line speeds which are, usually, in the two hundred to four hundred feet per minute (200-400 FPM) range, without the necessity of slowing or stopping the line to clear entanglement. In concluding the detailed description, it should be noted that it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that many variations and modifications may be made to the preferred embodiment without departure from the principles and spirit of the present invention. All such variations and modifications are intended to be included herein as being within the scope of the present invention as set forth. Further, in the claims hereinafter, the corresponding structures, materials, acts and equivalents of all means or step plus function elements are intended to include any structure, material, or acts for performing the functions in combination with other claimed elements as specifically claimed. * * * * * |

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 21.04 points, or 0.2%, to 12418.42. Wednesday's gain came after the Dow surged 179.82 points on Tuesday, the third-biggest point gain to kick off a new year in the index's history.
The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index edged up 0.24 point, or 0.02%, to 1277.30, its third gain in the last four trading days. Consumer discretionary and material stocks rose, while health care and utilities fell. The technology-oriented Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.36 point, or 0.01%, to 2648.36.
"The first two days of 2012 have been a microcosm of what we saw in 2011: risk on and risk off," said John Carey, portfolio manager at Pioneer Investments. "We're in that funny period where we don't have much in the way of concrete corporate news. People are clutching at straws in the absence of corporate earnings."

Is Brad Pitt Hollywood's hungriest star? Judge for yourself! -- VIDEO
Brad Pitt isn't just an actor — he's a veritable chameleon, at least where his coif is concerned. But whether his hair is short or long, blond or brown, touchably tousled or grossly greasy, one thing remains constant: If Pitt's onscreen, chances are he's also going to chow down at some point.
Don't believe it? Exhibits A-Z: The following supercut, which compiles some of Pitt's most memorable munch moments. (Apologies for the alliteration.) He just can't stop — even when confronted by a jar of Vegemite during a junket!
'Top Chef' alum Bryan Voltaggio giving away free pizza during government shutdown ... except to Congress
Sure, the government shutdown is providing plenty of ace material for the Jon Stewarts and Stephen Colberts of the world. For thousands of frustrated, furloughed government employees across the country, though, it's not exactly a laughing matter.
Enter Top Chef (and Top Chef Masters) runner-up Bryan Voltaggio, a D.C.-area fixture with four local restaurants to his name. The chef announced today via Twitter that all day long, his Friendship Heights restaurant Range will be giving away free "Government Cheese pizza" — that's margherita, to those with no imagination — to all government employees with valid ID.
Wait a sec — did I say all government employees? Because there's one category that Voltaggio deemed ineligible for his generous giveaway:

Paula Deen defends herself in teary 'Today' interview -- VIDEO
After begging off from a planned appearance last week due to exhaustion — an excuse Matt Lauer and Al Roker accepted with a few suppressed eye-rolls — Paula Deen finally appeared on Today this morning, giving an emotional interview in which she vehemently denied being a racist.
Deen has been under fire since she admitted to using racial slurs in a deposition filed June 17; in light of her testimony, the celebrity chef has been dropped by the Food Network and Smithfield Foods. Her full, 13-minute interview with Lauer is below:
Paula Deen's sons defend her, call racism charges 'extortion' and 'character assassination' -- VIDEO
Ever since Paula Deen admitted to using racial slurs in a deposition filed last week, her butter-soaked empire has been slipping through her fingers. The Food Network elected not to renew the celebrity chef's contract when it expires at the end of this month; Smithfield Foods is dropping her as a spokesperson; QVC is reviewing its business relationship with her. Somewhere, Anthony Bourdain is smirking and lighting a cigar.
But at least Deen can count on the support of two staunch defenders: her sons Jamie and Bobby, who are Food Network personalities in their own right. Allegations of Deen's racism are "simply not true," Bobby told CNN's Chris Cuomo this morning.
'Arrested Development': On the scene at New York's banana stand with Terry Crews
There's always money in the banana stand — especially when it's located at the end of a long, long line filled with hungry Arrested Development superfans.
The Bluth family's Original Frozen Banana Stand is currently wrapping up its second day in New York City, having launched its stateside tour in Manhattan yesterday. The stand started serving frosty confections at noon, though would-be customers began lining up even earlier than that. (One pair told EW that they had arrived at the stand at 11:40; 45 minutes later, they were still waiting, albeit fairly close to the front of the line.)
By 12:30ish, the line stretched from Columbus Circle to 62nd Street and Broadway, broken only occasionally so that it wouldn't block access to buildings like the Trump International. A line-tender dressed in a gigantic banana suit handed out "Mr. Manager" stickers to those just joining the pack and estimated that they'd likely be waiting an hour or longer before getting their hands on Giddy-Girly Bananas, George Daddies, or Simple Simons. READ FULL STORY
How much could one banana cost? $10, according to 'Arrested Development' -- and Seamless
The bad news: Unless you live in one of a handful of major urban areas, you won't get a chance to visit the Bluth family's iconic Original Frozen Banana Stand this spring.
The good news: You can, however, ogle the stand's eclectic menu no matter where you live, thanks to the food delivery wizards at Seamless.com. READ FULL STORY

For music videos with an automotive theme, it's hard to beat Hier Ist Mein Auto, sung by a mustachioed man in a medley of German and Hungarian, with traces of English and French.
Not only is the OK Go music video for "This Too Shall Pass" a more musical version of that famous Honda Accord ad, but it also features a cameo of a car from one of our favorite motorsports: LeMons racing.

You don't know why that Latina is with Mr. talk, dark and gruesome.

Even Though He Killed It, The Guy Behind Flappy Bird Is Still Making Plenty Of Money On The Game
He is a dummy. This kind of event is very rare and he is stupid to waste it. He must come from money that he didn't have to make himself to have this kind of attitude.

Edward Snowden Automated His NSA File Download With A Tool Similar To Google's Web Crawler

AOL CAVES: Tim Armstrong Restores 401K Plans For Employees
Nice to announce it over the weekend. Slimy. So let me get this straight...
We love our employees
We had an outstanding quarter and year
Let's f**k our employees
What? Our employees don't like to be f**ked? They're calling it rape?
Better back off and say it was a mistake even though we carefully planned it...
Yeah but let's do it on the weekend so other companies employees won't notice. Don't want to screw up our other friends plans (IBM).
Yeah, and don't forget to tell the employees how much we love them.
Aolers (whispering) I think its time to unionize.

Facebook Looked Completely Different 10 Years Ago — Here's What's Changed Over The Years
This idiot was on TV bragging about how he doesn't spend his money. Like he sits in an old rocking chair and watches the world go by. All that capital locked up that could at least be buying things so that people can be employed... This is the problem with such a small number of people controlling such a large amount of resources. Their idiotic morals intrude in other people's lives. It's hippocracy anyway. The guy travels all over the world, buys out his neighbors and flexes his wealth in other stupid ways. To say he doesn't spend his money is disingenuous at best.
Neil deGrasse Tyson Was Not Impressed By Felix Baumgartner's 'Edge Of Space' Jump And Is Blasting It On Twitter
Obviously some skill is required if he is the only one who has been able to do it. I mean, the first man running the 5 minute mile was just running so it doesn't mean much or the #1 Formula-One driver isn't impressive because its just driving... Compare the size of the man to the size of the jump, not the size of the jump to the size of the universe.

Cathy McMorris Rodgers Just Gave The Perfect GOP State Of The Union Response
Perfect if you don't actually think about it and realize what she said they want to do and what they actually are doing are two entirely different things. There was too much 'god' in there too. The repubs always love insulting non-christians.

Mark Zuckerberg Used To Act Like A Brat, But Now He's One Of The Planet's Best Humans
I really doubt his character has changed. Saying he is one of the 'Best Humans' because he throws around a lot of money seems like a really shallow outlook on life. I bet if you really did some research there are some positive tax implications or business issue associated to what he is doing. He's also doing it to enhance his reputation, as wealthy people have done over and over throughout the ages to justify weaknesses in their characters and to make them feel justified in doing the unethical/immoral things they have done. His threatening to take companies down if they don't sell out to him and the way he treats everyone's privacy but his own should tell you something about the type of person that he is.
Guy Detained By Feds For Wearing Google Glass At The Movies Admits: 'I Was An Ignorant Idiot'
How is MPAA allowed to interrogate anyone and why is DHS involved? Or Immigrations and Customs for that matter? Seems like some power is being abused and in the MPAA's case I wonder if they could be charged with illegal detention since they definitely aren't allowed to hold and interrogate anyone.
The CES 'Booth Babe' Is Nearly Extinct — Here's What's Replacing Her
It sounds like you are saying that women should dress in burkas because showing off their physical attributes is somehow demeaning. It's a strange concept that you say you are being progressive but then say because of the way a woman dresses she is not qualified to talk about technology. To me this is sexist. We are men and women and like to look at each other (sometimes anyway). Anyone who complains because of how a woman dresses when she works is being regressive, not progressive. Women like to objectify men and men like to objectify women. I think the people hiding behind this issue actually may have issues with their own sexuality or participate in a religion/cult that has set up arbitrary rules about what a person can or can not wear to control their flocks.
Finally! Someone In Silicon Valley Has The Guts To Defend The NSA
Of course you would pretend it is cool that he is standing up for the NSA. He invested in BI and you don't/won't say anything bad about him and are ultra sensitive is anyone else does. All this does is prove to me that Marc Andreessen is part of the .01% that wants Americans to be monitored and controlled. He's someone that doesn't understand or care to understand the rights that Americans have. Too many American tech moguls today don't and won't stand up for the rights of Americans, no matter what their social status, and the rights that the bill of rights and constitution provide them. They consider themselves 'International' men and have no true loyalties to anyone but themselves and their peers. It is despicable and during the founding of this country they would have been considered traitors.
This Midwestern Saying About Cheese Makes No Sense To The Rest Of America
The stigma was around appearing poor in a public way. No sensible person enjoys being unable to take care of themselves. If the choice was between my children starving and taking welfare, I would take the welfare. You would too. If you say you wouldn't your children really need to take another look at you as a parent and decide if they want anything to do with you.

Elise, a volunteer youth organizer with OutFront Minnesota, and Frank, the President of the local teachers union, stopped by Good Morning Northland on Monday to talk about bullying in schools.
OutFront Minnesota, along with Education Minnesota, among others, have formed the Minnesota Safe Schools for All Coalition. They are working together to update Minnesota's bullying prevention law, which they say is among the weakest in the country.
The law they are rallying to support is called the Safe & Supportive Minnesota Schools Act. The coalition says that students do better when they are in school and learning, rather than feeling threatened, or missing school because of bullying.
Elise, along with others, has helped to organize a rally on Monday, December 9th in support of this legislation. The rally will be held at 4:00 PM at Myers-Wilkins Elementary School Gymnasium.
If you would like more information, you can visit OutFront Minnesota's website.

Duck Dynasty Star's Passionate Anti-Abortion Speech Goes Viral: 'What in the World Happened to Us?'

In reply to Keatonc333.
333, "Lets not forget. Abortion is legal! If your morals are set by law, which it seems they are, you don't have much of an argument."
Interesting. Let's change the definition of "Murder". Take the word(s) "human" or "human being"and include "human DNA" or "human being DNA". We can do this because, 1) scientist tells us that DNA is unique to the individual human. 2) it qualifies how rare a person's is. 3) it proves life begins at conception. It would further prove that despite being conceived in a female, said "tissue" would therefore not belong to the female.
