Anti-union rhetoric has been trumpeting out of of recent debates in Wisconsin and Michigan, but one labor activist says much of it is a myth.
Supporters and opponents of legislation that would make Missouri a right-to-work state crowded into a hearing room Wednesday at the State Capitol.
The bill would forbid workers from being forced to join unions or pay union dues as a condition of employment.
Greg Hoberock, national chair of Associated Builders and Contractors, testified in favor of the measure.
"I don't think this bill excludes union membership, I think it give the employee the right to make their own choice to further (their) income and to have a job and to do what they want to do," said Hoberock.
A Kansas House committee has passed a bill that would stop public unions from making automatic paycheck deductions used for political advocacy. Currently, union members can agree to deductions from their paychecks that are used for political purposes.
The bill brought up heated debate in the House Commerce Committee. Opponents of the bill say it takes away an option for public employees to make political contributions.
Annie Tietze is a Topeka Democrat.
Leading into weekend campaigning, supporters of the two leading candidates for the U.S. Senate race in Missouri show no sign of slackening efforts.

With US Airways breathing down its neck, making nice with its unions as well as its creditors, American Airlines came to New York City on Monday to ask a federal bankruptcy judge for relief. Mostly, American wants relief from its unions — 13,000 jobs would be eliminated under its reorganization proposal. American has been hemorrhaging money for years and wants to lower its costs to compete.
Jefferson City, MO – Union leaders in Missouri are not happy with a new health insurance plan for state employees. It replaces the current co-pay system with one that requires state workers to pay deductibles. Richard von Glahn is with the Missouri State Workers Union.
"We are frustrated because state employees are gonna be faced with higher out-of-pocket health care costs the Missouri legislature continues to choose policies that balance our revenue crisis on the backs of state workers," says von Glahn.

Prepaid cell phones under $50: AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Boost, Virgin
posted by Pamela Wilcox on April 28th, 2011 - 7:30 am | Prepaid Phones
The new trend in the prepaid world appears to be higher-end phones. We're seeing many carriers introduce Android handsets and other smartphones to keep people interested. But when it comes to prepaid, that doesn't always play. Oftentimes people are looking for a good deal on a handset, since they want to talk, and maybe text. Otherwise they'd be with a contract carrier. What follows is a list of prepaid phones, from our featured pay-as-you-go cell phone providers, that will cost you $50 or less. That's not so common in prepaid land.
Today we'll go with the major carriers and their prepaid arms. Next week we'll look at MVNOs and regional carriers.
Get any of these handsets at AT&T's website.
Samsung SGH-a107
This is one of the simpler phones you'll find. It calls and messages, but doesn't do much else. Except flip open and closed, of course. Cost: $19.99
Samsung SGH-a197
This is much like the a107, except it adds a VGA camera. Cost: $39.99
Another simple, straight forward phone without a camera. This one is in bar style, for those who prefer that. Cost: $14.99
AT&T F160 (refurbished)
This bar-style phone features a 3-megapixel camera, which is one of the best you'll find in a prepaid phone under $50. It is also refurbished, which means you're getting a better handset for a lesser price. Cost: $14.99
Samsung Sunburst (refurbished)
The Sunburst is one of the few touchscreen phones you'll find under $40. It has a music player, messaging capabilities, web browser, 2 megapixel camera, and more. Cost: $39.99
Get any of these handsets at Verizon's website.
Samsung Gusto
This is Verizon's most basic flip phone. It has a VGA camera and not much else. Cost: $19.99
Verizon Wireless CDM7076
This is a small step up from the Gusto, as it adds a web browser. Cost: $29.99
LG Accolade
The Accolade features a decent camera at 1.3-megapixels, and also has a media center. It's still a basic phone. Cost: $39.99
Strangely enough, T-Mobile has no prepaid phones under $50. You can see the entire selection at T-Mobile's website.
Boost Mobile
Get these handsets at Boost Mobile's website.
Motorola i296
The Motorola i298 is a basic bar-style phone that doesn't pack many features. It does have Boost's walkie-talkie service, though. Cost: $49.99
Motorola Rambler
The Rambler is a flip phone that has a full QWERTY keyboard, which makes it suitable for messaging. Cost: $49.99
Samsung Factor
This is a thin, sleek flip phone that features a VGA camera and messaging capabilities. Cost: $49.99
Virgin Mobile
Get these handsets at Virgin Mobile's website.
Kyocera Loft
A stubby phone that features a QWERTY keyboard, the Kyocera Loft is perfect for the messaging addict. It also features a 1.3-megapixel camera and access to social networking services. Cost: $49.99

T-mobile DO have phones under $50. there are 6 (six) phones under $50 dollars including a touch screen phone, Nokia 5230 Nuron (I think this is a touch screen phone), for 49.99 that even comes with $30 prepaid card.
but I think no one is buying T-mobile prepaid stuff because of the AT&T buy-out.

Awesome shoes
Shoes are very comfortable and more age-appropriate than skater shoes or shoes that look like they are orthopedic. I am 35 and like comfortable yet stylish shoes.
SportySpice - October 14 2011
Great Shoes
This is my first pair of Sorels. They are very sturdy and extremely comfortable. I usually wear a size 8 and they are a bit roomier than my Chuck's canvas. I wore them all day at work with no problems.
mountainlife - October 10 2011
Fun Shoes
Sorel has really expanded its offerings and this sneaker is really cute. You can wear it with or without socks and it's easy to clean. It's good for several seasons, probably not snow!
2BabyBoys - October 7 2011
Although often weary of ordering shoes on-line, I was very pleased when they arrived. They are just as cute as on-line! I ordered the shoes in "Elephant." The color is great!

I spent a lot of time looking for a reasonably priced company to produce my company point of sale. It was a relief when I came across Sign Firm as they printed everything I needed.
Their website was easy to use, my follow up call to the company was handled very well and the delivery service was made very easy too. The delivery time window was only one hour so I didn't need to wait in all day for them
I wish I could run my company this well!!

Have Registrar's been skimming off the top to long?
I let a domain name expired because I wanted to distance myself from the words within the domain name.
Sometime after the domain was released, I received a check [chump change] from the registration company after they resold it.
I did not request to have the domain put up for auction.
Does ICANN give registration companies the right to hold and resell valuable expired domains without freely releasing them to general public first?

Can the weight loss pill Primal Lean cause blood clotting?
- Q: Can the weight loss pill Primal Lean cause blood clotting?
- A: Many people turn to herbal medications as an alternative or to complement conventional therapies. It is important to keep in mind that although herbals are "natural" that does not necessarily mean they are safe. There are many substances occurring in nature that can be harmful when ingested by humans. If you do choose herbal remedies, it is also important to note that these therapies do not have to be tested for safety or effectiveness. Since herbals do not require testing, we have very limited data on their side effects or interactions with other medications. Primal Lean contains the following active ingredients: irvingia gabonesis, fucoxanthin, garcinia cambodgia fruit, and chromium. According to the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database; there were no reports of blood clotting with Primal Lean, however it did not have any side effects reported because the data is not there. Chromium has reports of bleeding but not blood clotting. There is always a risk involved when taking herbal medications due to the lack of data on their safety, effectiveness, and interactions with other medications. To lower the risk, it is always best to choose a product that is USP verified, which will ensure the product contains what the label suggests (since supplements are not required to be tested for purity or integrity.) It is always important to consult with your health care provider prior to taking any herbals or supplements to ensure they will not interact with any other medications you may be taking or diseases you may have.

Trouble buying Root Explorer.
I just took the plunge and rooted. The first thing on my agenda is to rename a few bloatware .apk's, just because I can. Root explorer seems to be universally approved of around here, so I went to appbrain and purchased it. At this time, the process is stuck at "authorizing purchase." I've cancelled the download and re-initiated, but it keeps hanging here. Other apps are downloading just fine, so it's not a network problem.
P.S. moderators, I double posted this in the Fascinate ROMs/Hacks forum. Feel free to delete one or the other if you see fit.

The Extensibility Manifesto is not the latest Robert Ludlum novel but a movement, spearheaded by respected industry figure Dale Waldt, well-known as a publisher of the <!TAG> newsletter for many years in the 90s: <!TAG> was what the SGML industry did for information before XML.COM came along. The Extensibility Manifest shares a lot of the mindset of The Agile Manifesto, for example the need to protect against over-engineering and out-of-controlness.
I've been happy to sign up to it, because I think it addresses some really practical gotchas. At first glimpse, the ten points to the manifesto may seem a little managerspeak-ish: how much leveraging can a poor boy take, after all? But it is aimed at mananagers, who can use it to check their XML production processes, practices and environment.
Turn the points into questions or a checklist. So "1. Schemas and data have a mutual obligation to the simplest structure possible, achievable by continual reassessment of the two by their creators and rigorous justification for every modification." becomes
- How are we making sure our schemas and data have the simplest structure possible?
- Do we have a process or procedure in place for reassessment of structures (refactoring, etc)?
- Do we have a process or procedure in place to state, adjudicate and log justifications?
These are all very practical questions, and address the evil triplets of early XML deployment: incompleteness, inflexibility, and over-engineering.
My company, Topologi, has been fairly quiet this last year both because of my indisposition and because we have been re-aligning our developments to fit in with the Extensibility Manifesto. A point like 5. Effective sampling and analysis upfront reduces risk and improves implementation schedules clearly raises the question "How do we do efficient sampling and analysis?": the metrics I recently blogged about fit in there, clearly (as do Topologi's utiliites.) Like the Agile Manifesto, the Extensibility Manifesto is a kind of meta-benchmark: you don't get certified according to it (like ISO 9000) but an organization can adopt it as way to prove that XML processes align with business requirements.

Judged: 2 2 2 About BornAliveTruth.org In 1999 a gruesome discovery was made that an IL hospital was shelving babies to die in a soiled utility room who had survived their abortions. The federal Born Alive Infants Protection Act was introduced in 2000 to provide legal protection to all born babies, wanted or not, including the right to medical care. In 2002, Born Alive passed unanimously in the U.S. Senate and by overwhelming voice vote in the House. On August 5, President George W. Bush signed the bill into law. Despite that, numerous accounts from various parts of the country document abortion survivors are still being medically neglected until the die or outright killed infanticide. BornAliveTruth.org exists to expose the shocking truth and pursue enforcement of Born Alive. Our first project in Autumn 2008 was to spotlight then-presidential candidate Barack Obama's opposition as an IL state senator to the identical Born Alive bill that passed so overwhelmingly on the federal level.YOU ARE 100% RIGHT OBAMA IS A BABY KILLER AND DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN THE USA! |

Show featuresYou are in: Berkshire > The Session > Show features > Interview: Temposhark Temposhark Interview: TemposharkBy Linda Serck Former Reading Blue Coat School pupils Rob Diament and Luke Busby are busy cracking America with their band Temposhark and new album. BBC Berkshire chats to Rob about the road leading to The Invisible Line. I remember watching Temposhark with pleasure at the boudoir-esque Madame Jo Jos in Soho in 2005. Back then they were showcasing sterling electro clash tracks. The tracks that now form part of their impressive debut album The Invisible Line, which is taking America by storm.
Educated at Reading Blue Coat School, frontman Rob Diament has come a long way since writing songs as a 13-year-old pupil and performing at Alleycats (now Sakura) in Reading's Gun Street. In fact, he chats down the phone fresh from performing tracks on Fox TV in New York. "I love touring in America," he exclaims. "We've been over there three times in the last year. All the shows sell out and it's bizarre being in a foreign country where people know the words to your songs." And the American interest doesn't end there, with both US-based iTunes and MySpace celebrating the band's talent with a front-page spot on their websites. "I approached Imogen Heap - a great singer song-writer, producer Sean McGhee and Guy Sigsworth from Frou Frou, who's produced Madonna and Bjork. Basically all my favourite records were produced by him," explains Rob. "Having worked with them it gave us a foundation in the States and all their fans started buying our records on iTunes. "Then the iTunes staff in America put us on the front page, which was nuts, and we got a load of sales overnight. "Then MySpace in America also put us on their front page for two weeks - all these things just came out of nowhere." Well, not 'quite' from nowhere. Far from resting on his laurels, Rob has dedicated his life to becoming a successful musician, early on writing with producer Youth, who's worked with Dido and The Verve. "When Luke (co-founder of the band and also a former Reading Blue Coat School pupil) and I went to university in London we went with the objective to get student loans to put out singles. So we spent all our student loans to make up the vinyl, and we did our own PR." Rob at Fox TV's Fearless Music studio They then immersed themselves in London's electro clash scene in 2004 - opening for Fischerspooner and hanging out with the likes of Peaches. "Back then I always felt our music had more of an emotional depth in a different way to the other artists' music," says Rob. "They were much more about fun and hedonism and clubbing. I preferred Frou Frou, Tori Amos and Patti Smith, who had a poetic kind of angst and emotional content with their music." The result is an album that is in part "angry" and in part "really fun". It plunges into emotional depths while also luxuriating within dance music's upbeat veneer. Two of the tracks are produced by Guy Sigsworth, the other ten by Sean McGhee. Imogen Heap stars in track Not That Big, Youth collaborates on current single Blame and virtuoso violinist Sophie Solomon performs on Battleships. "It's been a lot of hard work but it's been an amazing experience," says Rob, originally from Maidenhead. "As long as you focus on what you want to do then eventually things will happen." The Invisible Line is out now on Temposhark's own record label Paper & Glue.

| I bought and downloaded the upgrade version of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit years ago and upgraded over my Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I just upgraded my motherboard, processor, etc. and decided that I should reformat my hard drive to clean up old junk and get the most out of my new setup. Today, I downloaded the upgrade version of the Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit iso and burned it to a DVD. Just so I understand, can I run the setup.exe on the DVD while in Windows 7 and do a clean install? Or, do I have to boot from the DVD and clean install that way? Thanks in advance for the advice |

| It's best to boot the installer so you can use Custom install Drive options to delete all partitions and create new ones as you wish. The installer will see an underlying OS to allow use of Upgrade version key during install. These steps to get a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 are the same for retail. |

| Do I need to find an XP disc? I'm sure the answer to this is in here somewhere but struggling a bit to find it. I bought a dell laptop with XP pre-installed (didn't come with a disc...) and then bought a Win 7 upgrade disc and have upgraded. I now want to replace the hdd but do a custom install. Will I have difficulties activating after the custom install on the new hdd? I have the XP sticker with code on the bottom of the laptop, but I assume this would only work for a new XP installation. Do I have to try and find a Dell XP installation disc, do the XP install on the new hdd and then the win 7 upgrade - or can I just use the win 7 upgrade disc. Apologies for the laziness of this post as I'm sure the answer is on the forum somewhere - if someone could point me in the right direction I would be most grateful.... T |

| You won't have difficulties activating the custom install of Windows 7 if you have a 25 character Product Key from the Win 7 upgrade disc you bought. The XP sticker is uselss for a Windows 7 installation. You don't need a Dell XP installation disc. You don't need to install XP. Just go directly to the Win 7 upgrade to the new HDD with no other HDD connected. |

| Thank you for your swift reply ignatzatsonic. Out of curiosity, if you can do a custom install and activate it from the Windows 7 upgrade disc key, what differentiates the win 7 upgrade disc from the full win 7 disc? |

12 Oct 2012 | #338 |
| The Upgrade version Product Key is only good to use if you have a qualifying XP or Vista which came with the PC, or a retail copy of either on hand. The installers are all the same, with certain versions unlocked. The qualifying OS doesn't need to be preinstalled but if you install to a blank or wiped HD you'll need leave the Product Key blank during install then aftewards do one of the workarounds in this tutorial. This workaround is provided as a convenience to avoid having to double-install. If there is an OS on the HD then the booted installer will see it to allow use of Upgrade version key during install, even if you then use Custom>Drive Options to delete partitions and/or repartition during install. |

| So will this work? I have a friend who has 7 Home Premium x86 installed using an upgrade disk that does not have SP1 onboard (he upgraded from Vista). The OS is messed up and he wants to format and reinstall. I offered to burn a copy of 7 Home Premium w/SP1 x86 for him to save a lot of updating. Will his key work? |

This is an interesting video from a couple years ago of a 58-year old man who has Parksinson's disease. As you can see, walking is very difficult for him. What was truly remarkable was that despite his advanced PD, he is able to ride a bike. It was astonishing, since despite being unable to walk, he is able to ride a bike almost completely normally. He does need to be helped onto the bike and given a little push to start, but while he is riding, he is capable of doing it on his own. After this discovery, they found that other severe PD patients were also able to ride bikes. They are not sure exactly why they are able to ride bikes, but it must be accomplished through a different mechanism in the brain than walking. Also, since exercise has been shown to slow the progress of PD in animal models, it might be that it would do the same in humans, so those with severe PD might be able to find ways to exercise (like riding a bike) when they cannot do others.

Javier Benítez MD discussing the death of the textbook on Academic Life in Emergency Medicine
The last sentence of this quote represents the key to understanding how we need to restructure medical education. Our current system ONLY emphasizes memorizing information that is too numerous and too quickly out of date to be useful. We need to incorporate the judicious and efficient use of information resources into our teaching so that medical graduates are better equipped for real world medical practice.

My theory is: exams in med school and beyond should be open-book/internet, and consist of WAY more questions than you could possibly answer in the given time limit. That way, you're tested like "real-life": if you happen to know the answer from memory, hooray for you, and you can move on to another question faster. On the other hand, if you don't "just know it", but you're still really good at integrating the data and using your resources to find an answer, you can still answer a bunch of questions correctly. Real life, baby.

Defined Metallic-Turquoise Wing (L'oreal Innocent Turquoise)
Time for a more dramatic, defined eye! This is a shape that would work on both double- and mono-lids because the contour again follows the hollow of the eye socket.
Feel free to replace the turquoise with any color you enjoy!
I used:
- Black liner
- Deep rust-brown (Coastal Scents Cherry Chocolate)
- Bright Turquoise Shimmer (L'oreal Infallible in Innocent Turquoise)
Step 1: With your black liner, you want to first draw a very precise shape. The first line goes along the lower lash line from the INSIDE-OUT. Draw the line thick and make sure you get it into the roots of your lashes because you don't want gaps there. Pull it out past the outer corners until you reach just past where the hollow of your eye socket ends.
If you're not sure where, don't extend it. Do Step 2 below first, then pull the lower line up to meet the upper line.
Step 2: Run the pencil along the hollow of your eye socket (not the crease where the fold is; this should be higher and you can feel it with your fingers). Tip for beginners: Do it in 2 strokes. Start from the center of your eye out, THEN from the center of your eye in, but much lighter-handed this time. Don't draw the line all the way to the inner corners because you want your eyes to look more "open".
Step 3: Now's the time to smudge a bit more pencil into the outer corners, within the shape you drew earlier. Then use a brush or your fingers to fade the black inwards slightly. The black should not extend past about 1/3 of your lid.
Step 4: Now that the complicated part is out of the way, just use a flat brush to pick up a dark red-brown and carefully press or pack it onto the black pencil. Fade it inwards also, but this time, fade it in further than the pencil, to about the center of your lids.
Step 5: For the main lid shade, pack it on very intensely from the inner corners, overlap the brown a bit as you fade outwards. Stay within the border drawn by your pencil earlier. Since I'm using an Infallible pigment, I'm just packing it on with my fingers rather than a brush. This formula works best with fingers because of the high binder content.
Step 6: Finishing touch for the lids; reapply a little dark brown along the upper borders of the eye shape if your colorful shadow has covered it up a little. The line should be very defined and strong or this will turn into a typical smoky eye.
Step 7: Finish the eye with black mascara and black liner along the waterline if you want.
On the cheeks, I used a pale pink blush (Bourjois Little Round Pot Eye Shadow #15). Really, any pink you have will do.
On the lips, I applied a soft matte pink from MAC called Pink Plaid. If you can't find that, something like Creme Cup would work fine.

Are You Prepared For E-Discovery of Data on Your Employees' Personal Devices?
Suppose an email from your company's in-house attorney instructs you to preserve all documents relating to an ex-employee who is threatening to sue for wrongful termination. In the days before smartphones and cloud storage, this would have been a relatively limited exercise: paper documents would be set aside and files on the company server would be backed up. But work-related data can be stored in many places today, including personal devices of employees. Is a company required to preserve such data?
Costco Wholesale recently faced that issue in an employment discrimination and retaliation lawsuit. See Cotton v. Costco Wholesale Corp., 2013 WL 3819974 (D. Kan. July 24, 2013). The plaintiff asked Costco to produce text messages on the personal cell phones of two of its employees who mentioned the plaintiff or his allegations. Costco objected on the grounds that the discovery request required it to invade the privacy of its employees, and there was no indication that the employees sent inappropriate text messages or used their personal phones for work purposes. The court denied the request, determining that Costco did not have possession, custody, or control of the text messages.
Although the court in the Cotton case ruled that the employer had no duty to produce information stored on the personal devices of the employees in question, the outcome might have been different if the facts had changed even slightly. Courts in other jurisdictions might also have taken a contrary approach.
The law in this area is far from clear, but following the guidelines below will help a company address e-discovery issues in their policy on personal electronic devices. An easy way to remember the guidelines is to think of the acronym "APPS":
- Access: Reserve the right to access personal devices that store work-related data. Access is crucial if the company is legally required to collect and produce data residing in the personal devices of an employee.
- Permission: Clearly specify what personal devices employees are authorized to use for work-related purposes, if any. Consider keeping a log of authorized personal devices and require employees to update the log whenever they start using a new authorized device or retire an existing one. Your company's document retention policy should extend to authorized devices.
- Privacy: Notify employees that they should have no expectation of privacy to data stored on a personal device if they use the device for work purposes. This prevents the company from being liable for invasion of privacy should it need to search the contents of a personal device to respond to a discovery request.
- Segregation: If possible, segregate work-related content from personal content on personal devices. Segregation can be implemented with software solutions, but if that is not feasible, at a minimum, instruct and train employees who use a personal device for work on how to keep their personal information separate from work data stored on the device. For example, storage of work-related data in a personal cloud storage account should be prohibited.
Follow the above guidelines to avoid getting caught off-guard by e-discovery requests.
Read MoreHawaii Legislature 2014 — Summary of Proposed Computer Tech Legislation
It's time to roundup the bills related to computer technology that the Hawai'i legislature is considering in its 2014 regular session. Click here for a chart summarizing the proposed legislation. Here are the highlights:
Social Media and Internet Account Passwords: Several bills to prohibit improper requests for access to personal social media accounts of employees and students were introduced in the 2013 session. None of the them passed. This year, HB2415 renews the effort to outlaw improper social media password requests.
Internet Sales Tax: HB1651 would require online companies with arrangements with Hawaii merchants for referral of business to collect use taxes on sales made in Hawaii. This bill would affect online retailers like Amazon, who allows local merchants to sell their products through Amazon Marketplace.
Restrictive Covenants: In an effort to encourage the development of technology business in Hawai'i, a state with a relatively small geographic area, two bills (HB2617 and SB3126) would prohibit technology businesses from requiring employees to enter into noncompete agreements and restrictive covenants. "Technology business" is defined as "a trade or business that relies on software development, information technology, or both."
Cybersquatting: SB2958 would put the burden on a cybersquatter to prove that it did not register a domain name in bad faith or with intent to use it in an unlawful manner, provided that the person claiming cybersquatting can demonstrate the potential of immediate and irreparable harm through misuse of the domain name.
Cybersecurity Council: SB2474 would establish the Hawai'i cybersecurity, economic, education, anfrastructure security council.
Mobile Devices: Three bills (HB1509, HB1896, and SB2729) would make it a State offense to use a mobile electronic device while operating a motor vehicle. Certain counties already have similar laws.
3D Printing: In response to the rising availability of 3D printers, HB1802 would make it a crime to create, possess, sell, trade, or give another person a firearm made with digital manufacturing technology.
Computer crimes: A series of bills criminalizes various kinds of computer activity, including unauthorized access to a computer or network and damage to a "critical infrastructure computer" (HB1640); theft of a computer (HB1644); or personal electronic device for storing or retrieving personal information (HB2080); and revenge porn (SB2319).
Read MoreNLRB Approves Rule Shuttering Cameras in the Workplace
"Smile, you're on Candid Camera." Originally coined on the eponymous TV show, that catchphrase is becoming more of common refrain in the workplace. Any employee with a smartphone can easily record an office conversation in secret. But are such covert recordings legal? And what control, if any, does management have over the making of such recordings?
The Law of Recording Face-to-Face Conversations
A majority of states (approximately 37) follow the one-person consent rule for recording face-to-face conversations. This rule authorizes the recording of a conversation so as long as one person in the conversation consents. The consenting party can also be the person recording the conversation. Practically speaking, this means it is legal to record a conversation with another person without his or her knowledge.
Most other states require the consent of all participants in the conversation. Covert recording of face-to-face conversations would not be permitted in states that follow the all-party consent rule.
Workplace Bans on Covert Recordings
Even if covert recordings are legal, management may regulate the practice if done so consistently with the right of employees to engage in concerted activity, which is protected under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). A recent National Labor Relations Board decision illustrates this. Whole Foods Market, Inc., Case No. 01-CA-096965 (Oct. 30, 2013). The case involved a challenge to a company policy that banned employees from recording conversations without prior management approval. The company's stated purpose for the policy was "to eliminate a chilling effect to the expression of views that may exist when one person is concerned that his or her conversation with another is being secretly recorded."
The administrative law judge (ALJ) in the case upheld the policy. The ALJ noted that there is no protected right to record conversations in the workplace, but even if there were such a right, management may regulate the exercise of that right. It was not adopted in response to union activity, and it was clearly tied to the company's core value of fostering open and honest dialogue about company matters. The ALJ disagreed that the policy could reasonably be interpreted as a restriction on using social media to communicate and share information about work conditions through video recordings made at the workplace. The policy regulated a means of communication as opposed to the protected activity itself. It also did not prohibit employees from making recordings during non-work time. The policy therefore did not violate Section 7 rights.
The Whole Foods Market decision suggests questions that management should consider when drafting a work rule against covert recordings to ensure that the rule does not violate the NLRA:
- Is the rule clearly linked to a purpose besides preventing employees from engaging in Section 7 activity?
- Does the rule leave open alternative channels for employees to communicate about Section 7 activity?
- Does the rule allow employees to make recordings during non-work hours?
A ban on covert recordings is more likely to withstand a legal challenge if management can answer "yes" to each of these questions.
Read MoreThe Sacco Saga and Four Myths That Get Professionals Into Social Media Trouble
With a single tweet, an employee of IAC (owner of websites like Match.com and Vimeo) went from relative obscurity to the target of an Internet inquisition. Before boarding a plane, Justine Sacco posted this message on Twitter: "Going to Africa. Hope I don't get AIDS. Just kidding. I'm white!" The tweet went viral while Sacco was en route to South Africa, oblivious to the controversy brewing online. Death threats landed in her inbox. Someone opened a parody Twitter account for Sacco. A hashtag (#HasJustineLandedYet) was created to help people keep track the arrival of her plane. IAC quickly condemned Sacco's tweet in a press release and on social media. The New York Times published an article about the controversy later the same evening. The next day, IAC fired her. Sacco issued an apology on Sunday.
Social media meltdowns are nothing new, but the story highlights four myths that can get professionals into social media trouble.
- "I'm a pro—I know what I'm doing." Sacco worked as a communications director for IAC. One might expect a PR professional to be sensitive about what their public expression, but Sacco's expertise apparently didn't save her from posting a message that many found offensive. Before posting, think twice (or thrice) about how the message will be received by the public.
- "No one will ever find out." Sacco's Twitter account didn't have many followers at the time she posted the controversial tweet—less than 200. Having a small following can create a false sense of security that the public will never see the contents of the account. But one doesn't need to be an Internet rockstar to get into trouble. Posts can go viral if a follower shares it with someone else, who in turn shares it with another person, and so on …
- "No worries, it's my personal account." Just because a social media account is designated as personal doesn't mean it should have no filter. Although Sacco used her personal Twitter account to make the infamous post, her account profile listed IAC as her employer. This made it easy for readers to associate IAC with Sacco's post. As a result, IAC was involuntarily drawn into the controversy. The moral of the story is that the lines between personal and professional are very blurry on the Internet.
- "Just this one time." Bad judgment on social media is seldom an isolated incident. Earlier in 2013, Sacco had tweeted: "I can't be fired for things I say while intoxicated right?" Because social media extends brand management beyond official company channels, companies should keep track of employees who publicly identify their employer and periodically check if those employees regularly interact in ways that damage the company brand.
The Sacco incident teaches that the value of training on good social media practices cannot be overemphasized. The old adage about an ounce of prevention is no less true in the digital age.

Cloudy With A Chance of Disaster: Avoiding the Security Risks of BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud)
You've probably heard of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). But do you know about BYOC? It stands for Bring Your Own Cloud, and it's more prevalent than you might think.
Cloud storage services like DropBox, Google Drive, and SkyDrive sport features that are attractive to an increasingly mobile workforce. They provide gigabytes of storage for free. Files in the cloud are accessible anywhere with an internet connection. Changes to a file in a cloud account are synced across all devices with access to the account. It's not difficult to see why cloud services are gaining popularity among individuals and companies alike.
Therein lies the problem. Because personal cloud accounts are so handy and easy to set up, an employee can create a security risk for a company in a matter of minutes. An employee can essentially connect the organization to the cloud without the company's knowledge via a private cloud account. This enables the transfer of confidential company data to a location outside the company's reach.
ComRent International, LLC v. Palatini, 2013 WL 5761319 (E.D. Pa. Oct. 24, 2013), involved such a scenario. ComRent hired Clayton Taylor to serve as a vice president of product development. Taylor primarily worked on matters related to Experium, a company that he co-founded and of which he was a minority owner. Taylor set up a Google Drive account to store, access, and edit all of Experium's intellectual property and confidential commercial information. Only Taylor knew the username and password necessary for the account. When ComRent hired an engineering firm to consult on options for the future of Experium, Taylor refused to grant the firm access to any of Experium's intellectual property, believing that ComRent might appropriate the intellectual property for itself. As a result, ComRent terminated Taylor and filed a lawsuit seeking access to the Google Drive account containing Experium's corporate files.
Here are some tips for avoiding problems with unauthorized use of personal cloud storage accounts by employees.
Set a Policy: Remaining silent—and therefore ambiguous—about the organization's stance on cloud storage can lead employees to believe they may use personal cloud accounts for work purposes without letting management know. To eliminate such misconceptions, set a policy on whether or not the organization will use cloud storage. If the decision is yes, then adopt measures to ensure responsible use of cloud storage. If the decision is no, then clearly communicate to employees that storing work data in a personal cloud account is against company policy.
Maintain Control: If an organization decides to use cloud storage, it should retain control over the information necessary to access the cloud storage account (e.g., login credentials). It is advisable to create an account under the organization's name for official work purposes instead of allowing employees to use their personal accounts.
Restrict Unauthorized Cloud Services: Consider restricting access to private cloud storage sites from any device that can also access company data, including mobile devices, through the use of blacklists, proxies, and other network security measures. This will prevent the transfer of work files to a private cloud account. Organizations with BYOD programs might find it challenging to eliminate all access to private cloud services, but it is worthwhile consulting with the IT department about the feasibility of implementing such restrictions.
Retain Ownership: Make it clear that company information remains property of the company regardless of where it is stored. It's also a good idea to have employees sign written non-disclosure agreements.
Stay safe in the cloud!

Good experience with this company, prices were unbelievably low and I didn't expect the company to respond so quickly with such quality. Definitely recommended.
I, foolishly, understood that this was the UK division of the company due to their 'co.uk' internet address but - BEWARE - this is not the case. Even worse, they do NOT supply UK goods!!!!
I was caught out by the purchase of a Lumix TZ30 camera which, had it been a UK model, would have been eligible for a £35 cash back. Panasonic UK refused to honour this for the supplied NON-UK model.
August 2012. After my last review, Pixmania have addressed the situation to my satisfaction, I have therefore increased my rating from 1 star to 3 stars.
Have bought three Xerox printers over the last two years. Always dealt with courtiously, promptly and with excellent prices. Delivery is next day. It is also good to receive discount codes for consumables. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.
Ordered a Panasonic TZ7 Camera showing in stock on the website last Friday and, despite horrific snow weather, camera was delivered today (following Wednesday). My dealings with Simply Electronics have not reflected the views of others and the company seem particularly keem to learn feedback from customers experiences.

LOS ANGELES — LOS ANGELES (AP) - Clayton Kershaw hears the Cy Young Award talk swirling around him, although he won't indulge it. With his 20th victory and major league-leading 2.27 ERA, the low-key Los Angeles Dodgers ace is letting his numbers do the talking.
Kershaw became the club's first 20-game winner in 21 years with a 2-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night, making him 5-0 against the rival Giants this season.
Four of those victories came against two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum, with Kershaw allowing one earned run in those games. Three of the victories were by scores of 2-1, and the other was a 1-0 decision.
"He's leading in a lot of categories and putting up a 20-win season is huge, especially with the team they've got," Lincecum said. "He's done a magnificent job this year."
The Dodgers' fourth straight victory lifted them a game above .500 for the first time since April 29.
Kershaw (20-5) is vying to win the so-called Triple Crown of pitching. He's tied with Arizona's Ian Kennedy for the NL lead in wins, his ERA is tops in baseball and his 242 strikeouts lead the league.
The last Dodgers pitcher to claim the Triple Crown was Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax from 1963-65, when he won the Cy Young in each of those seasons.
"If this boy doesn't win the Cy Young, something is definitely wrong," said Dodgers slugger Matt Kemp, who, like Kershaw, is having a career year in an otherwise dreary season for the financially troubled franchise.
Kershaw's competition includes Philadelphia teammates Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee, and Kennedy.
Besides dominating the defending World Series champion Giants, Kershaw's stats include a 3-1 record with a 1.42 ERA against NL West-leading Arizona.
The 23-year-old left-hander from Dallas has won a career-high seven straight decisions, and 11 in a row at Chavez Ravine. He limited the Giants to one run on six hits and struck out six in 7 1-3 innings.
"He's one of the best pitchers in the game, there's no doubt about that," said Giants slugger Carlos Beltran, who had two hits and two strikeouts against Kershaw.
"From the left side, to me, he's one of the best, close to Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels. He's having a great season and it's good to watch a young man growing up in the game of baseball the way he's doing."
Kershaw has brushed aside questions about the possibility of winning the Cy Young and after notching his 20th win all he would say was "if I were to receive that, it wouldn't go lightly."
He can solidify his Cy Young bid with a victory in his final start Sunday at San Diego.
"The whole body of work has been tremendous," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "The kid's been doing this every time out for the most part. The performances speak for themselves. You don't need to politic for him."
Kershaw became the first Dodgers pitcher to win 20 games since Ramon Martinez went 20-6 in 1990 when he was 22. Kershaw is the second-youngest 20-game winner in franchise history and the 16th overall.
His repertoire has evolved to include four pitches for strikes, with his curveball being especially effective lately, and he's gobbled up innings, helping the Dodgers' shaky bullpen this season.
"This guy has been the most consistent and you can't look past a guy like that. There's no give with him," Dodgers catcher Rod Barajas said. "He knows how to make adjustments. That's what makes him great."
Kershaw issued just two walks in his latest win over the Giants and left the game to a standing ovation.
"He has great stuff. Plus he throws over 95 and he has confidence in every single pitch," Beltran said. "He throws one slider at 88 and another one 84, along with a changeup and a curveball, so he's a guy who mixes his pitches well and that's why he's been so successful."

125TO HENRY KNOXMount Vernon, December 26, 1786 My dear Sir:Nothing but the pleasing hope of seeing you under this roof in the course of last month, and wch. I was disposed to extend even to the present moment, has kept me till this time from acknowledging the receipt of your obliging favor of the 23d of October. Despairing now of that pleasure, I shall thank you for the above letter, and the subsequent one of the 17th. instt., which came to hand yesterday evening. Insurgency in MassachusettsLamentable as the conduct of the Insurgents of Massachusetts is, I am exceedingly obliged to you for the advices respecting them; and pray you, most ardently, to continue the acct. of their proceedings; because I can depend upon them from you without having my mind bewildered with those vague and contradictory reports which are handed to us in Newspapers, and which please one hour, only to make the moments of the next more bitter. I feel, my dear Genl. Knox, infinitely more than I can express to you, for the disorders which have arisen in these States. Good God! who besides a Tory could have foreseen, or a Briton predicted them! were these people wiser than others, or did they judge of us from the corruption, and depravity of their own hearts? The latter I am persuaded was the case, and that notwithstanding the boasted virtue of America, we are far gone in every thing ignoble and bad. I do assure you, that even at this moment, when I reflect on the present posture of our affairs, it seems to me to be like the vision of a dream. My mind does not know how to realize it, as a thing in actual existence, so strange, so wonderful does it appear to me! In this, as in most other matter, we are too slow. When this spirit first dawned, probably it might easily have been checked; but it is scarcely within the reach of human ken, at this moment, to say when, where, or how it will end. There are combustibles in every State, which a spark might set fire to. In this State, a perfect calm prevails at present, and a prompt disposition to support, and give energy to the foederal System is discovered, if the unlucky stirring of the dispute respecting the navigation of the Mississippi does not become a leaven that will ferment, and sour the mind of it. Political issues in VirginiaThe resolutions of the prest. Session respecting a paper emission, military certificates, &ca., have stamped justice and liberality on the proceedings of the Assembly, and By a late act, it seems very desirous of a General Convention to revise and amend the foederal Constitution.. . . and the Eastern states Apropos, what prevented the Eastern States from attending the September meeting at Annapolis? Of all the States in the Union it should have seemed to me, that a measure of this sort (distracted as they were with internal commotions, and experiencing the want of energy in the government) would have been most pleasing to them. What are the prevailing sentiments of the one now proposed to be held in Philadelphia, in May next? and how will it be attended? You are at the fountain of intelligence, and where the wisdom of the Nation, it is to be presumed, has concentered; consequently better able (as I have had abundant experience of your intelligence, confidence, and candour to solve these questions). . . . and MarylandThe Maryland Assembly has been violently agitated by the question for a paper emission. It has been carried in the House of Delegates, but what has, or will be done with the Bill in the Senate I have not yet heard. The partisans in favor of the measure in the lower House, threaten, it is said, a secession if it is rejected by that Branch of the Legislature. Thus are we advancing. In regretting, which I have often done with the deepest sorrow, the death of our much lamented frd. General Greene, I have accompanied it of late with a quaere, whether he would not have prefered such an exit to the scenes which it is more than probable many of his compatriots may live to bemoan. In both your letters you intimate, that the men of reflection, principle and property in New England, feeling the inefficacy of their present government, are contemplating a change; but you are not explicit with respect to the nature of it. It has been supposed, that, the Constitution of the State of Massachusetts was amongst the most energetic in the Union;. . . and Massachusetts May not these disorders then be ascribed to an endulgent exercise of the powers of Administration? If your laws authorized, and your powers were adequate to the suppression of these tumults, in the first appearances of them, delay and temporizing expedients were, in my opinion improper; these are rarely well applied, and the same causes would produce similar effects in any form of government, if the powers of it are not enforced. I ask this question for information, I know nothing of the facts. Actions of Great BritainThat G. B will be an unconcerned Spectator of the present insurrections (if they continue) is not to be expected. That she is at this moment sowing the Seeds of jealousy and discontent among the various tribes of Indians on our frontier admits of no doubt, in my mind. And that she will improve every opportunity to foment the spirit of turbulence within the bowels of the United States, with a view of distracting our governments, and promoting divisions, is, with me, not less certain. Her first Manoeuvres will, no doubt, be covert, and may remain so till the period shall arrive when a decided line of conduct may avail her. Charges of violating the treaty, and other pretexts, will not then be wanting to colour overt acts, tending to effect the grt. objects of which she has long been in labour. A Man is now at the head of their American Affairs well calculated to conduct measures of this kind, and more than probably was selected for the purpose. We ought not therefore to sleep nor to slumber. Vigilance in watching, and vigour in acting, is, in my opinion, become indispensably necessary. If the powers are inadequate amend or alter them, but do not let us sink into the lowest state of humiliation and contempt, and become a byword in all the earth. I think with you that the Spring will unfold important and distressing Scenes, unless much wisdom and good management is displayed in the interim. Adieu; be assured no man has a higher esteem and regard for you than I have; none more sincerely your friend, and more Affecte. etc. |
