text: The climate of press freedom in Peru remained much the same as 2012, with reporters being targeted with violence and defamation suits for reporting on local corruption. While no journalists were imprisoned, two were convicted on criminal defamation charges and received suspended prison sentences. A bill that eliminated jail terms for defamation has remained stalled in Congress since mid-2011. Journalists covering widespread protests of a mining project in northern Peru were targeted with violence and intimidation by all sides in the conflict. Journalists and news outlets reporting on corruption and organized crime were also targeted in non-fatal attacks. One journalist was killed in unclear circumstances. CPJ continues to investigate whether the murder was work-related. Past murders of journalists remained unsolved, and prosecutors appealed the acquittal last year of the former mayor of the city of Coronel Portillo in the 2004 murder of radio journalist Alberto Rivera Fernandez. Human rights groups and journalists raised concerns about the implications of a bill that would criminalize the denial of terrorist crimes, a cybercrime law that criminalized some Internet speech, and the move by the country's leading daily to buy a media company that resulted in its owning 78 percent of the newspaper market.

Danny Glover to Visit Houston, Meet with Janitors Making Poverty Wages and Bring Together Coalition of Faith and Civil Rights Leaders
'Lethal Weapon' Star Expected to Call Upon Houston Leaders to do Better by Janitors
HOUSTON, June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is being released by SEIU:
This Sunday, civil rights activist and famed actor Danny Glover will visit Houston to meet with a delegation of janitors who clean some of the city's most exclusive real estate – including buildings owned by JP Morgan Chase, Exxon and Shell – but make just $9,000 annually. For the past month, 3,400 Houston janitors have continued to work without a contract as employers have offered the workers a meager 50 cent raise, phased in over five years.
Glover, a noted actor and social activist, will meet privately with janitors on Sunday afternoon and followed by a press conference with Civil Rights and Faith leaders at the Third Ward Multi-Services Center (3611 Ennis Street, Houston, TX 77004) at 2:00 P.M. on Sunday. Individual interviews available on request, time permitting.
Houston has been named the nation's "#1Millionaire City" for annual growth in millionaires. Last year, the city's 15 largest employers reaped more than $178 billion in profits – more than 50% increase over the previous year. Despite this, Texas is tied with Mississippi for the highest proportion of minimum wage jobs in the nation. In the wake of huge profit margins, working Houstonians' wages have remained stagnant or fallen behind – in fact, one in five people working in Houston, cooks, cashiers, janitors, baggage porters and security guards, make less than $10 per hour.
DETAILS of SUNDAY'S EVENT
WHAT: Press Conference with Danny Glover, Janitors, Civil Rights and Faith Leaders
WHERE: Third Ward Multi-Services Center, 3611 Ennis Street, Houston, TX
WHEN: Sunday, July 1 at 2:00 P.M.

I took lots of pictures on the trip, and wanted to share this humorous chain of events I captured. I consider this to be symbolic of evolution... or of how productivity evolves into greater and smarter methods.
Step 1: Monkey gets 2L bottle of orange soda
Step 2: Monkey opens 2L bottle of orange soda
Step 3: Monkey tilts soda onto ground so as to spill it. Note, smaller monkey watches this unfolding.
Step 4: Bigger monkey drinks his spoils by sipping the soda from the grass. Efficiency... maybe 20% of the soda captured? But since he gets the full 2L to drink from, that's still a satisfying slurp!
Step 5: Smaller monkey, left thirsty, sips the drops left in the bottle cap. Then notices that a little bit of soda is left in the bottle due to the bigger monkey's inefficient drinking methods.
Step 6: Smaller monkey, who can't throw his weight around to get the drink in the first place, nor afford inefficiency in his habits, comes up with a better and more efficient way to drink. He finishes off what the bigger monkey treated as waste.
Step 7: Yea, I'm a small monkey, but so what? Don't act like you've never seen a monkey before. Don't you have something better to do?
What can we learn from this 7 step process?
- People/monkeys/companies that are big and don't have to save every drop will tend to waste resources, have low efficiency, and stick with "if it's not broke - don't fix it" mentality.
- People/monkeys/companies that are small and don't have the luxury of wasting resources, will find ways to innovate, find new solutions, and other means to increase efficiency.
- It is limited resources in this world which drives us to improve ourselves. Never be satisfied with the old ways of doing business.

Originally, Toronto manager Carlos Tosca said that he wanted to exercise caution, because Heredia's landing foot was the one that was injured. A few days of rest did the trick, though, and Heredia was able to throw a bullpen session without incident on Monday.
"Heredia's fine. We warmed him up last night," Tosca said. "He's ready to go."
That brings a tidy conclusion to a bizarre injury. Heredia didn't hurt himself at the ballpark. Instead, he turned his ankle when he was getting out of the shuttle back to the hotel.
Now, he comes back at a time when his team sorely needs his presence. Justin Miller, Tuesday night's starter, will be limited to a strict count of 60 pitches. Tosca said that would protect Miller's arm, since it's been quite some time since his last start.
"He's got 60 pitches -- however far that takes him," Tosca said. "I think it was three weeks ago, the last time he's thrown for any length of time."
Citing the amount of southpaws in Kansas City's lineup, Tosca predicted that he would go to Mark Hendrickson as one of the first men out of the bullpen. Still, there is a very good chance that Heredia will see some action.
Sidelined superstar: Carlos Delgado's rehabilitation is continuing, but with caution. The slugging first baseman, out with a back injury, will "go to tolerance." Tosca said that means that Delgado will proceed with his exercises, but only if he feels comfortable.
In recent days, Delgado has been able to take batting practice and field ground balls, two of the key ingredients in getting him back on the field. Originally, the estimate called for him to return this weekend, during the team's trip to Baltimore. He's eligible to come off the DL on Saturday, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to do so.
Interesting article: Michael Wolverton of Baseball Prospectus recently wrote an article breaking down which teams are most efficient on the base paths. Simply put, he tried to analyze which teams gave away the most and least outs on baserunning mistakes. As a companion stat, he also tried to figure out which teams wasted runs most often.
Toronto fared well in both stats. By Wolverton's calculations, the Blue Jays gave up the second fewest outs in the Major Leagues, and they cost themselves the second-least amount of runs. Tosca said he read that article, and he talked about it at length in his pregame media briefing.
"I think there's some validity to it, but I also think you can use numbers to say whatever you want them to say," Tosca said. "You don't know who the pitchers were in a lot of those games. If you're facing a guy like Paul Byrd, if you're facing a guy like Roger Clemens, if you're facing a guy like Pedro Martinez, you've got to push the envelope against those guys."
In short, he went on to say that there are just too many factors to take into account. Among them: the composition of a given team's lineup, the opponent's outfield arm strength, the specific conditions of a baseball situation. He didn't quibble with the end results, but he didn't think it was something you could boil down to sheer numbers.
"There's a lot of other variables in there that you have to take into consideration," he said. "I'm glad that we are where we are, and I think we have one of the best third base coaches in the league."
Fantasy Edge: Brian Lesher entered Tuesday's game hitless in his last 22 at-bats. After grounding out in his first at-bat, Lesher reached on an infield single, ending his drought at 0-for-23. He has had one longer drought in his career, an 0-for-26 stretch in 1997.

Obtaining a job as a cna nurse

Posted over 4 years ago I have been certified as a nursing assistant in delaware ever since december of 2008. When I went to school for it I was pregnant though. So when I got my license in december because I was still pregnant I really couldnt apply anywhere because no one is going to hire a pregnant lady. I had my baby in June of this year. I have been putting out applications every where in delaware and no one has called me. So I decided to get my license in maryland also. I have a 90 day letter right now but still no one is trying to give me a chance because I dont have experience in the field what shoul i do. Can someone please help me. Rochelle |

| Posted over 4 years ago I'll repeat my response to your other post: Are other people being hired in that area? Last year I was Administrator of an Assisted Living facilty (northern New Jersey) and I hired a few CNA's every month. For one thing, the economy is very bad now - just keep trying! As an administrator I did not care that much about the applicant's experience - I wanted someone who could express themselves clearly, and seemed cheerful and enthusiastic, willing to work hard! |

| Posted over 4 years ago People are being hired but they also have experience. As they have worked as home health aides. I dont have my drivers license so I cant even apply at that type of job either. I am working on it though. But I have a good personality but people cannot see that because they arent even taking the chance to get to interview me. They just see that I dont have any experience and they look past it.

| Posted over 4 years ago Ma'am, not having a drivers license may be a huge reason no one will hire you. It may be unreasonable but that's the way it often is. Do the applications you fill out ask about having an active driver's license and reliable transportation? Mass transit is smart and responsible in more ways than one. But all it takes to make you late or keep you from getting to work is a transit strike. Keep calling back to the places you have already applied to. Capt. Eric pointed that out in another topic discussion. Or show up in person early in the morning at these places. Be prepared to work that very day by having some scrubs and work shoes with you. Good luck and keep trying. I know it's discouraging but persistence pays off sooner or later. |

| Posted over 4 years ago the only companies that really ask for it are the companies that are hiring for traveling nurses. Most companies like the hospitals and nursing homes rarely ask for it. So I dont know sometimes when I call these companies they are telling me that they dont accept calls and if they are interested they will contact me. I dont know I wil keep trying thats all I can do.

The Raiders fell, 42-6, in a rain soaked game with Holliston High School Friday night.
The Raiders were unable to keep pace with the Panther offense who picked up big chunks of yardage through the air and on the ground throughout the game.
The Raiders only score came on a touchdown pass from Will Scatchard to wideout Jake Wirth in the second quarter.
Holliston quarterback Dan Barone picked the Raider defense apart running in three touchdowns and throwing for two more.
Raider runningback Matt Heinlein, who scored four rushing touchdowns last week in a win over Northeast Metro Tech and also serves as the team's kicker, did not play against Holliston because of a leg injury.
The Raiders are now 1-2 on the season and look to rebound next week against Bellingham on the road.

..Not always true. And Isn't that a song?
no all girls do
Cuz some girl's like that bad boy feeling and not all girls like bad boys.
They don't always, but when they do it's because the bad boy is sexy, in my opinion.
If they like bad boys than they really like the danger, risks,ect.
......I am with a good girl. Guess that makes me a bad guy by your logic.But then again, not all are like that.
Because they like to think that they can change or tame them.
I once read that women are attracted to guys they think they can change. Which is why so many women enter relationships with people that are wrong for them. And why so many women stay in bad relationships. Also the narcissistic anti social personality type can be charming on the outside. But when they do get to know them they realize they are just self absorbed sociopaths.
What would you rather do? Check out the latest IKEA furniture at my place? Or be in the car with me as I flee law enforcement at speeds over 100mph?
casue they can have more fun cause if ur with boring guys they just like 2 read and and stuff but if ur with cool bad guys its better
Um... I guess it's the same reason why people like roller coasters, scary movies, etc. Adrenaline I guess
It isn't all girls but here are a few reasons.
They think they need the right person to take all that angst and redirect it for good and that they are that person. Plus many bad boys are quite charming, that is how they get away with so much.
Then there are the girls with low self esteem who don't think they deserve the boy that is going to be good to her.
I like the excitement lol just the thought of doing naughty things then getting naughty such a rush a very big turn on.
Not always true. Im more into the goofball type
They only appear to be good girls. They are board and need some excitement in their lives.
I thought girls liked Nassholes... Nice but also a little cocky/jerky. Not to her of course.
Well, not all girls do, but when they do its because they want ppl to think that they aren't to good
well, I don't exactly get that, either, but I am a girl and I don't like the bad boys. I like the boys who know how to have fun... without doing drugs (Music excluded, sorry, had to put that!! Music is my drug!!), alcohol, etc. and no illegal activities. I'm not exactly classified as a 'good girl' though... I'm more rebellious than I look, but I stick to stuff that's not illegal. and yes, I love a good adrenaline rush, but not from illegal stuff. one of my guy friends, there have been times when he's jumped me when I was caught total unaware and started tickling me. gee, he knows what I love.
Some girls want a guy with some edge....excitement! But you don't necessarily need to be bad to be exciting...so....idk. lol
Farther issues.
idk it depends on the guy
to me a bad boy is muscular,but not a bully and hes a risk taker
not all girls like bad boys but i think some like bad boys because it shows that they are tough and they are willing to take a risk at anything
it depends on the girl, but they like to be put out there, and to be in danger.
maybe cuz they think they are cool/ popular with a cool/ bad ass boyfriend
even good girls gotta let loose every once in awhile :]
a girl wants a bad boy ,gentle only for her? a boy wants a gentle girl naughty only for him.
Do You All Get that.Please reply if not.
Because some bad guys are beautiful and girls can't see the rest..
when they are young its a rebel phase when they are older, then they are just dumb
well most to b honest most boys like bad girls
not all of them but some do because the bad boys don't try hard
Cause we do!
they are cute!!! jk lol
(quoting a song xD)
Because it's just more fun. With good boy: so wanna do homework? With bad boy: wanna go to a cool party?

911 Survivor a Hoax?
The team of developers on this website claim to be creating a game called '911 Survivor' that allows you to simulate being inside the burning World Trade Center. Reacting to this, quite a few people have immediately speculated that it must be a hoax. But looking through the site, I suspect it isn't. Instead it seems to be some kind of art project designed to make people question the boundaries drawn between real-reality and media-reality.
