Right To Play
On the day of stage two of the Amgen Tour of California I took part in a charity event benefitting the organization Right To Play. The organization was started by four-time Olympic gold medalist Johan Olav Koss, the long-track speed skater. In broad strokes, Right To Play exists to bring opportunities for sport—and all the lessons that lie therein—to children living in impoverished and war-torn countries. They have programs running in roughly two dozen countries around the world, places like Ethiopia, Rwanda and the Palestinian territories. They've built facilities so kids can play sports like football (soccer) and volleyball. And yes, some of their programs involve cycling.
So what's this really got to do with cycling? Well, people often need a little incentive to do good deeds—think the coffee mug you get when you make a pledge to your local public radio station. Right To Play does a lot of fundraising and they called upon the bike industry to pull together something special that a great many people missed out on.
Hanging out with Phil and Paul before breakfast got started.
Thanks to their relationship with Specialized, Right To Play was able to offer fundraisers a breakfast with Phil and Paul, a ride out of Aptos that took in part of stage 2′s race course, a VIP pass at the finish that got you one of the best spots to view the final sprint (won as you can easily recall by Peter Sagan, if only because he won nearly every stage … dang) and, finally, a dinner with the Omega Pharma-Quick Step team. Just which of these events folks took part in was determined by just how much they raised, but if you went all in and donated $17,000, you got each of those experience plus a Tarmac SL4 and a BG Fit at your nearby dealer. Of course, it was possible to get in on some of the festivities for as little as $1500.
Whether you like their products or not, Specialized comes in for some criticism from time to time for their business practices. Here's an occasion that is worth considering. Specialized, due to their size, does more on the advocacy front than most companies in the bike industry. Indeed, they have a person on staff dedicated to advocacy efforts; heck, for a while Specialized even funded the salary of the director for the National Interscholastic Cycling Association, the group that is bringing mountain bike racing to high schools around the country.
The ride was fun; no two ways about it. We climbed out of Aptos and up to Corralitos through dense Redwood forest. Following a brief descent we hooked up with the race course for the fast descent into Aptos and the run through town to the finish at the college. Western Spirit Cycling Adventures provided support; not that we needed a bunch of support for a 37-mile ride, but a snack or two at the top of the climb was hard to say no to.
Of course, the highlight of this thing was the dinner with Omega Pharma-Quick Step. And here's where Specialized really made the difference. Anyone willing to lay out the greenbacks can buy a tent and VIP experience for a bunch of friends. But very few bike sponsors have the kind of pull with a pro team to hold a dinner for eight or ten people who donated money to a charity a bunch of pro riders have never heard of. Indeed, to kick the dinner off, one of Right To Play's staffers got up to tell the team about what it is they do and how they do it. Some of the European riders seemed not to listen at all, but I looked over and noticed that Levi Leipheimer was paying close attention.
Patrick Lefevre talking about how important the Tour of California and Specialized are to his team's goals.
I need to stress, this sort of thing is just not done. Meal time has always been a sacrosanct event for riders. They sit together, you don't bug them and when they finish they head back to their rooms to rest. They don't sign autographs and they don't hang out and talk with a bunch of bike geeks. But that they did. While the riders did sit together for dinner, the staff spread out and joined the VIPs at tables throughout our dining room. As fate/luck would have it, I was seated across from Patrick Lefevre and he spoke freely, entertaining questions from everyone at the table. What was most entertaining was hearing him address the issue of television revenue. His frustration at the lack of a unified front between the teams was readily apparent.
Generally speaking, teams can refuse any sort of PR request during a big race. That they did this speaks to the value Specialized sees in the team and how they view their investment. It's one thing to sponsor a fast guy. It's quite another to sponsor someone who can be personable with complete strangers. And honestly, every team at the Tour of California could have offered this, but very few teams could match OPQ for star power with both Levi and Tom Boonen at this dinner.
Beyond that, I was really impressed with how friendly and funny Phil and Paul were at the breakfast; who knows how many requests of this sort they get each time they come stateside. They even did a short promo video for Right To Play and showed what pros they are by nailing it on the first take.
There's a reason Specialized brought me along. They want more people to know about Right To Play and a pretty killer event you can attend if you donate to them. So why mention it now? They plan to do something similar next year.
Weekend Wrap-Up: Omloop, Kuurne, Etc.
Here are my thoughts on a terrific weekend of racing:
1. After their Belgian victories this past weekend, it's clear to me that Garmin-Barracuda and Team Sky are two of the best squads in the world—because they understand how to ride as a team.
Heading into the race's critical phase during Saturday's Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, Garmin sent it's team to the front, upping the pace and positioning themselves to follow whatever attacks might come. Eventual-winner Sep Vanmarcke was therefore perfectly placed to follow Tom Boonen's acceleration on the Taaienberg (and to avoid Lars Boom's somersault).
Sunday, Team Sky kept their fatigued and vomiting world champion out of harm's way throughout the day, ensuring that he was at or near the front on every climb and safely guiding him through the last 50-kilometers. In the finale, Chris Sutton—the race's defending champion—and former Ghent-Wevelgem champion Bernhard Eisel escorted Cavendish to the line.
In an era dominated by super-teams, Garmin and Sky appear to have a successful formula—especially Garmin, a team that has achieved much success with surprisingly few superstars on its roster. It was an impressive display and most likely served noticed to the rest of the peloton.
2. On the other hand, Team BMC appears to be lacking chemistry at a critical point it's season. Thor Hushovd was situated right where he needed to be when Boonen attacked Saturday, only to find himself isolated once the move was established—a situation that went from bad to worse once the Norwegian was dropped on the Paddestraat. For a team with so many superstars, management must have been shaking their heads after such a lackluster showing.
3. As for Thor, it is easy to criticize the former world champion for getting dropped, but one must remember: it's still early in the season (as Thor himself admitted before the race) and at least he made it there in the first place.
4. And Rabobank's Matti Breschel? It was great see him back at the front of a major cobbled classic—even if he didn't stay there for long. Give him a few weeks and he'll be fine.
5. Speaking of poor positioning, BMC's Philippe Gilbert attributed his mundane showing (31st) to a lack of fitness and poor peloton placement heading into the Taaienberg. But while Gilbert's result was a disappointment to his fans, it should help him later in the season. I wonder if Gilbert watched how heavily marked Cancellara was during last year's classics and is making his best effort to avoid the same thing happening to him this spring—at least in Flanders. (Everyone was marking Gilbert in the Ardennes—clearly it made no difference.) Gilbert's known for the timing of his efforts. Perhaps he saw no need to show his hand too soon?
6. Back to the winner: Saturday's victory confirms the promise Vanmarcke showed back in 2010 when the youngster—then riding for Topsport-Vlaanderen—finished second in Ghent-Wevelgem. While I questioned Vanmarcke's aggressive riding during the race Saturday—especially with Boonen and Flecha both having teammates—I now see the wisdom of his tactics. His acceleration on the Paddestraat disposed of Hushovd and Breschel; a second surge would later drop both Hayman and Devenyns. Not many riders would choose to isolate themselves against Boonen and Juan Antonio Flecha, but Vanmarcke was smart to realize that a 1:3 chance is better than a 1:7 chance.
I said before the race that the Omloop tends to announce the arrival of new classics champions. Consider Vanmarcke the best candidate to become Belgium's next Ronde-Roubaix champion.
7. Vanmarcke's performance also underscored Tom Boonen's tactical ineptitude (sorry Tommeke, I want more than ever to see you return to form, but you really blew it Saturday). Yes, Boonen was given the unwelcome title of "pre-race favorite" by many pundits (myself included), but it was certainly not a new position to be in for the Omega Pharma-Quick Step rider. And while his sharp attack on the Taaienberg was devastatingly effective (and predictable), his actions in the remaining 59 kilometers were confusing and at some points, head-scratchingly immature.
To me it's apparent that Boonen suffers in races without radios, as the lack of accurate time splits and information regarding what's happening behind him probably led him to do more than was necessary to see to it that the break stayed clear. Boonen became a professional at a time when radio use was already more or less widespread among the sport's best teams. After more than 10 years of riding with them, I'm beginning to wonder if riding without them leaves Boonen feeling insecure and under-informed, hence his bull in a china shop tactics. The last "major" race Boonen won was last year's Ghent-Wevelgem, a race run with radios.
8. As for Sunday, Cavendish took his third of the season despite battling sickness. The question now turns to whether the Manxman can forge himself into a contender for Belgium's biggest sprint prize: Ghent-Wevelgem. A new, longer, and hillier course will attempt to thwart him, but given the depth of Team Sky, it's hard to discount Cav's chances. What do you think?
9. For the second year in a row in Kuurne, Saur-Sojasun's Jimmy Engoulvent tried at a late-race move. Next year, he might want to try a different tactic.
10. Last but not least, where was GreenEdge this weekend? After more than a year of hype surrounding the formation of the squad, the men in green and black were conspicuously absent from the first important weekend of the season. The team's best result was 12th in Kuurne. It all goes to show that it takes more than money to build a successful World Tour squad. Like many team's before them, GreenEdge might find that their first season is filled with more growing pains than victories.
In other news:
11. Like Garmin and Sky, Liquigas-Cannondale deserves mention in any conversation about the best teams in the sport. The team won its ninth race of the season Sunday, as Eros Capecchi defeated Damiano Cunego and Enrico Battaglin to win the GP Lugano.
12. And speaking of Lugano, Battaglin is a rider I missed when compiling my list of Up-and-Comers a few weeks ago. Keep an eye on him—and look for him to be joining a World Tour squad soon. Maybe he can join Moreno Moser at Liquigas?
13. One final question: Michael Matthews won Rabobank's first race of the year at the Clasica de Almeria in Spain, but why wasn't he racing in Belgium? Matthews, Taylor Phinney, and John Degenkolb traded blows as U23's in 2010—why isn't the Aussie on the same career trajectory as the other two? He certainly possesses similar talent.

2012 Preseason Win, Lose or Draw
Many fans couldn't care less about the first four weeks of the professional cycling season. Part of me can't blame them. I mean seriously—Argentina? Qatar? Oman? And of these early races, only a few feature terrain that puts the majority of the peloton into the red zone. In most cases, crosswinds and cold weather do more damage than the actual racing does. Even Southern Europe was not immune, as record low temperatures turned most races into leg-warmer contests where the rider able to stay the warmest the longest often found himself on the top step of the podium. You're forgiven for not caring.
On the other hand, the first weeks of the season offer our first glimpses of new riders and teams, many of whom are eager to impress following seasons that fell short of expectations. These early tests also offer pundits a chance to determine which riders are starting the year in good shape, making them possible contenders for the season's first major rendezvous in Belgium, France, and Italy.
So whether you weren't paying attention either by choice or by accident (and before the "real" season begins this Saturday with the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad), here's a quick rundown of what you missed, packaged together in a little game I like to call Win, Lose, or Draw (no Dom DeLuise required).
Omega Pharma-Quick Step (Win) – Belgium's Omega Pharma-Quick Step has enjoyed a terrific start to the season—one that calls to mind the exploits of HTC-Columbia/High Road. At this point in the season it's usually one or two riders that have won the bulk of any one team's race victories; in Omega Pharma's case, six riders have shared the spoils (Chicchi, Boonen, Fenn, Leipheimer, Ciolek, and Velits), with two more (Martin and Trentin) just missing wins themselves. If the team continues its torrid pace once the "real" racing begins in earnest, they could easily end the season as the year's top-ranked squad.
Lotto-Belisol (Lose) – Andre Greipel has already won five races for the restructured Belgian squad and Tour-hope Jurgen Van den Broeck looked strong in Qatar; but the team also lost Jurgen Roelandts after a crash in Stage 1 of the Tour Down Under. Roelandts was the team's best hope for the cobbled classics, an important block of races for any Belgian team—especially one trying to keep up with Omega Pharma-Quick Step's early season success. Without Roelandts, Greipel might need to ride himself into contention for the flatter classics—Milan-San Remo comes to mind, but Ghent-Wevelgem and the Grote Scheldeprijs might be better bets for the German speedster.
BMC (Draw) – BMC made the biggest splash this past off-season, but they're winless so far in 2012. That said, with men like Gilbert, Evans, Hushovd, and Van Avermaet on the roster, there's hardly good reason to worry. This weekend's Omloop will be our first opportunity to see some of the squad's biggest names racing au bloc. And with two former winners and several other possible contenders on the roster, don't count them out.
Tom Boonen (Win) – Omega Pharma's most successful rider thus far has been Tom Boonen, a welcome sight considering the Belgian's frustrating past two seasons. Boonen's sprint speed appears to have returned, but perhaps more importantly, so has his confidence. Here's a an interesting bit of trivia for those hoping to see Tommeke add another Flanders or Roubaix to his resume: each year that Boonen won the overall title at the Tour of Qatar, he took one of the two cobbled monuments as well.
Southern European Races (Lose) – There was a time when Mallorca, Southern France, and Italy were three of the sport's most weather-friendly early season locales. But not this year as frigid temperatures and snow forced the abbreviation or cancellation of reventsaces in all three countries. But don't get your hopes up for an "epic" weekend of racing in Belgium—the forecast calls for dry, sunny conditions. Go figure.
Mark Cavendish (Draw) – Two stage wins in Oman plus a bout of sickness and a crash amount to a draw for the reigning world champ. On the bright side, Cav's wins indicate that his Team Sky lead-out train is coming along quite nicely.
Jonathan Tiernan-Locke (Win) – Easily the season's biggest surprise has been Endura Racing's Tiernan-Locke, the winner of both the Tour Mediterranean and the Tour du Haut. The British rider won each event's "queen" stage and in doing so, the overall titles as well. Thanks to his victories, Tiernan-Locke has apparently attracted the attention of several World Tour squads. Look for him to finish the season in a new uniform.
Greenedge (Lose) – Australia's Greenedge Cycling team won its first two important goals of the season—the Australian Road Race Championship and the Tour Down Under—but have since fallen flat in their inaugural World Tour season. With so many flat races on the schedule (and shortened ones at that), you have to think that a roster with such an impressive set of speedsters would have produced more results. But let's be fair: many upstart World Tour squads (especially those created out of thin air) have often struggled to find consistent results during their first seasons (Team Sky and Slipstream come to mind) but have gone on to win several major races.
Alberto Contador (Draw) – For Alberto Contador's fans, his two-year retroactive suspension counts as a loss. To proponents of a cleaner sport though, it's a clear win. But at the end of the day, Contador's suspension and the loss of his titles dating all the way back to the 2010 Tour de France amount to nothing more than a draw. First of all, Contador's reputation seems to have survived the court of public opinion. Second, he'll be back and racing in time to win his second Vuelta a Espana—which just about everyone expects him to do easily. Even his sponsor still supports him—a smart move considering he's still likely to command a tremendous salary in spite of his suspension.
Elia Viviani (Win) – I identified Viviani as one of several young Italian sprinters to watch as part of my Season Preview a few weeks ago. So far, the Liquigas-Cannondale rider has lived-up to my expectations. Viviani's already won five races, and until the win by his teammate Moreno Moser (yes, he's Francseco's nephew) in Sunday's Trofeo Laigueglia, he was undefeated on home soil. If he manages to take a stage or two in next month's Tirreno-Adriatico, look for Viviani's name on the list of contenders for Milan-Sam Remo.
Rabobank (Lose) – Last year, Rabobank had already won nine races by this point in the season. This year, they've won nothing. Worse still, Oscar Freire—the man they let go to make room for Mark Renshaw—has already won two races for Katusha. Luckily, Matti Breschel seems to be healed and ready to contend this weekend in the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, a race Rabobank won last year as well. Too bad the winner (Sebastian Langeveld) now rides for someone else (GreenEdge).
Alejandro Valverde (Draw) – Similar to Contador, Valverde's status depends entirely on your perspective. For many, the Spaniard's return to racing leaves a black eye on the sport and its ability to fairly mete out justice. For others, it simply marks the return of one of the sport's most talented and exciting riders, someone capable of challenging Philippe Gilbert in the Ardennes. And while he's already won two races, he's still a long way from redemption.
French Youth Movement (Win) – It was also good month for young Frenchman as Europcar's Pierre Rolland, Saur-Sojasun's Jerome Coppel, and FDJ-Big Mat's Arnaud Demare and Nacer Bouhanni took wins. While Rolland and Coppel have bright futures as stage racers, Demare (the reigning U23 World Road Race Champion) and Bouhanni give the nation two young sprinters to root for at Paris-Nice.
Saxo Bank (Lose) – We'll know for sure sometime in March, but if the team's hearing before the sport's Licensing Commission on February 27 doesn't go well, they could find themselves on the outside looking in at the rest of the World Tour. Bjarne Riis has struggled in the past to find sponsors to support his program; a demotion certainly won't make life any easier.

Google plans first-ever share buyback
For the first time in its history, Google plans to buy back its own shares, following the completion of the AdMob acquisition.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt told Bloomberg of the plan Tuesday, which of course assumes the deal passes regulatory scrutiny. Google announced plans Monday to buy AdMob--one of the most successful mobile advertising companies--for $750 million in stock, making it the third-largest acquisition in Google's history.
Some had wondered why Google used stock instead of dipping into its cash horde to make the deal, which has the effect of diluting the holdings of other shareholders. However, by … Read more

Every year, there are so-called Oscar snubs, people we thought were shoo-ins, or at least deserving of a nod, who got passed over for the nomination. It's inevitable, if not necessarily fair to those who did get nominated.
But I can't remember snubs quite as shocking and unexpected as the three missing names in this year's Best Director category.
Let's start with the biggest snub of all—Ben Affleck for Argo. I literally gasped when his name wasn't read this morning.
For starters, Affleck racked up a ton of nominations from most of the other big voting bodies (Golden Globes, Directors Guild of America, Critics Choice, etc.). Also, he's got a famous name. While the Oscar voters aren't necessarily drawn to glamour the way, say, the Golden Globe voters are (the Globes are often seen as less a serious voting body and more an excuse to throw a really awesome party), one would think that name recognition alone would bolster his nod. This film was meant to represent Affleck's shift from "actor who's surprisingly adept on a film set" to "serious director with legitimate filmmaking chops." In my mind, it certainly did—it's one of my favorite films of the year.
Because the nominations weren't read alphabetically this year, I actually had a panicky moment thinking Argo was going to be snubbed for Best Picture, too. (It wasn't.) Argo also got a nod for Alan Arkin in the Best Supporting Actor category.
The other two directors snubbed are Kathryn Bigelow for Zero Dark Thirty and Quentin Tarantino for Django Unchained—both those films got nominated for Best Picture and both are, perhaps not incidentally, embroiled in a bit of controversy. Some people—Spike Lee, in particular—raged against Tarantino's unchecked use of the "n-word" in his film and his somewhat fanciful take on a piece of serious history; many object to what they see as Zero Dark Thirty's pro-torture stance—even the CIA has renounced certain aspects of that film.
Of the three snubs, Affleck and Bigelow do crafty, skilled, if traditional directing jobs. Tarantino, of course, is a creation unto himself—a one-man band, so to speak. He's such a complete auteur that to nominate his film is to implicitly endorse him as a director. Yes, I would go as far as to say: Love the film, love the director. But the Academy has always been a bit wary of Tarantino and his anarchic ways.
Of course, there were nine films nominated for Best Picture and, by rules, only five directors picked for Best Director. So four directors would inevitably be left out.
So let's take a closer look at those Best Picture/Best Director nominations:
Beasts of the Southern Wild – The young director Behn Zeitlin WAS unexpectedly nominated for Best Director—clearly taking away one of the three slots. I certainly have no quarrel with Zeitlin's nod—Beasts is great. But traditionally, an indie hit like this gets screenplay nods, maybe one of the acting categories (indeed, now 9-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis was nominated for Best Actress—she was 6 when she made the film). The Best Director slot tends to be reserved for more established players.
Silver Linings Playbook – Another bit of a surprise that David O. Russell was nominated for best director. Silver Linings was seen as an actor's film—all four leads got nominated—and a screenwriter's film (ditto for Russell's adaptation of the screenplay), but less a director's movie than those of Affleck, Bigelow, and Tarantino, who worked on more elaborate canvases and had to keep multiple balls in the air.
Zero Dark Thirty
Django Unchained
Lincoln – Except for his inexplicable snub by the BAFTA's, Steven Spielberg's nomination was a foregone conclusion (and well deserved).
Les Miserables – Despite his win two years ago for The King's Speech, recent criticism has focused on Tom Hooper's clumsy direction, so no surprise that he didn't get a nod
Life of Pi – For whatever reason, the brilliant Ang Lee hasn't been a strong pre-Oscar contender. Thrilled to see his nomination here. *
Amour – Ah, here's the other unexpected one. French director Michael Haneke is a bit of a bad boy auteur, whose films tend to be provocative and sometimes even hostile to the audience. Here he slowed down, found his humanity, and directed an absolutely soul-crushing pas de deux between an old man and his dying wife. Well deserved. But again, a surprise.
And there you have it. On Twitter (hey, follow me @maxthegirl), I speculated that maybe Affleck and Bigelow got snubbed because they were on steroids? (See what I did there?)
Anyway, it's pretty obvious now that Zero Dark Thirty, Argo, and Django Unchained are no longer serious contenders to win Best Picture (not that Django ever really was). I've been saying that Lincoln is going to win all along and nothing I saw in these nominations convinced me otherwise. As for Best Director? Clearly an unpredictable category. But I have a hunch that Mr. Spielberg will be pocketing that baby, too.
Here are the rest of the major category nominations, with my EARLY speculation as to who might win.
Best Actor
Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln
Denzel Washington, Flight
Hugh Jackman, Les Miserables
Bradley Cooper, Silver Linings Playbook
Joaquin Phoenix, The Master
My pick: Daniel Day Lewis, in a virtual lock
Best Actress
Naomi Watts, The Impossible
Jessica Chastain, Zero Dark Thirty
Jennifer Lawrence, Silver Linings Playbook
Emmanuelle Riva, Amour
Quvenzhané Wallis, Beasts of the Southern Wild
My pick: Emmanuelle Riva. (I'm going against conventional wisdom here; most think it's Chastain's or Lawrence's to lose. But I just have a hunch.)
Best Supporting Actor
Christoph Waltz, Django Unchained
Phillip Seymour Hoffman, The Master
Robert De Niro, Silver Linings Playbook
Alan Arkin, Argo
Tommy Lee Jones, Lincoln
My pick: Tommy Lee Jones, although this category is wide open.
Best Supporting Actress
Sally Field, Lincoln
Anne Hathaway, Les Miserables
Jacki Weaver, Silver Linings Playbook
Helen Hunt, The Sessions
Amy Adams, The Master
My pick: Anne Hathaway. No limbs here. Everyone is picking her.
*In an earlier version of this story, I incorrectly stated that Ang Lee wasn't nominated for Best Director. Indeed, he was. (Thanks for the catch, Chris!)

After her diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), health journalist Patricia Prijatel did what any reporter would do: start investigating the disease, how it occurs, and how it's treated. While she learned that important research was emerging, she found a noticeable lack of resources on the disease, which affects 70,000 women a year and differs from hormone-positive breast cancer in important ways, including prognosis and treatment options. Hormone negative breast cancer disproportionately affects younger women and African-American women - and it can be more dangerous than other types of breast cancer. But there are many reasons to be hopeful, as Prijatel learned. Through her blog, Positives About Negative, she has met hundreds of women who have told her their stories and shared their fears, confusion, and frustration. After her recovery, she began writing this book to provide the first dedicated resource for women diagnosed with TNBC. Surviving Triple Negative Breast Cancerdelivers research-based information on the biology of TNBC; the role of genetics, family history, and race; how to navigate treatment options; and a plethora of strategies to reduce the risk of recurrence, including diet and lifestyle changes. In clear, approachable language, Prijatel provides an accessible guide to understanding a pathology report and a vast array of scientific studies. Woven throughout the book are stories of women who have faced TNBC. These are mothers, wives, daughters, and sisters who went through a variety of medical treatments and then got on with life -- one competes in triathlons, two had babies after being treated with chemo, one got remarried in her 50s, and one just celebrated the 30th birthday of the son she was nursing when she was diagnosed. With honesty and humor, Prijatel's inspiring story shows the heart of a survivor. Her message is that TNBC is a disease to take seriously, with proper and occasionally aggressive treatment, but it is not automatically a killer. Most women diagnosed with the disease do survive.Surviving TripleNegative Breast Canceris a roadmap for women who want to be empowered through their treatment and recovery.

Topic: Business
What does "per diem" mean in regards to salary for employment?
I'm looking for a job. I need to know what a job ad means when they say the position is "per diem."
7 Answers | add yours
The phrase "per diem" means "per day" or "by the day."
In terms of jobs, if the position itself is "per diem" it probably means that it is not steady work. Instead, they will, at best, be hiring you on days when they need you (sort of like substitute teaching would be).
Per diem can also refer to payments that you get in addition to your regular pay. For example, if you go off to an assignment somewhere out of town, your employer might give you a per diem for food and lodging.
But it sounds like the first definition is more applicable in your case.
Posted by pohnpei397 on November 3, 2009 at 1:08 AM (Answer #1)
"Per diem" is a phrase taken from Latin meaning per day. It refers to the method of calculating wages to employees or other payments such as fees for consultants.
Payment of wages are calculated on different basis such as per hour, per day, per week and per month. In addition, to these different methods of payment based on time put in on work, The payment can also be on piece rate basis. This means payment based on quantity of work done.
Generally wages are paid per diem basis for temporary, short term asignments rather tah for regular long term jobs.
Posted by krishna-agrawala on November 3, 2009 at 1:14 AM (Answer #2)
"Per Diem" can have a few meanings when it comes to employment. The literal translation from the Latin is "per day," and refers to any type of pay or reimbursement that is made by the day.
In general, but not always, per diem work is short-term, temporary work, although there can be exceptions.
If this is a GSA job, you can check the per diem rate here: http://www.gsa.gov/portal/category/21287.
Jobs in health care, especially to cover a fulltime employee on leave, are often paid per diem -- you receive a set amount for each day you work.
Posted by flprof on July 14, 2012 at 5:54 PM (Answer #3)
"Per" in Latin means "through." "Diem" is the accusative, male, singular form of "dies," which means "day." So, put together, that would mean "Through day." If you're talking about work and wages, it would probably mean you get paid day by day.
Posted by discussion1984 on November 1, 2012 at 11:14 PM (Answer #4)
I work at a hospital, and per diem means that a person is available so many times a month to work a shift. Per Diem employees do not get any benefits so their hourly salary is a little higher than a person that works full-time and has benefits.

through the day
Posted by popan006 on February 8, 2013 at 6:09 PM (Answer #5)
It's Latin which translates into "per day". Many organizations in an attempt to hold the line on business costs will offer their employees traveling on business a per diem. They can only spend so much money each day they are away. An example would be: Fay has to leave Dallas to go on business for her company. While in DC. she's told that she has a per diem of $125 which could break down into $25 for breakfast, $40 for lunch and $60 for dinner. That's all she's allowed to spend of the company's money per day, if she spends any at all.

Judge-Executive Harry Berry calls the proposed $29 million spending plan a "structurally balanced" budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
Berry presented the budget proposal, which closely mirrors the county's current budget, at Tuesday's meeting of Hardin Fiscal Court. It will add only an additional $161,000 in expenses — the second-lowest budget in eight years.

CHAPTER 16: NEW KENT ROAD Footnotes References
It being an inherent tendency in human nature, clerical or otherwise, to take short cuts where possible, there is little doubt that soon after the monks of Christ Church obtained possession of Walworth in the 11th century they began, when the state of the ground permitted, to find a way across the fields from the Canterbury road (Old Kent Road) to Walworth Manor to avoid making the detour up to St. George's Church and down Borough High Street (or Blackman Street) to Newington Causeway.
Figure 42: Gate pier, the Paragon
The path probably became a well-defined green road after the Archbishop made his London residence at Lambeth and the ferry at Lambeth came into general use. On the 1681 plan of Walworth Manor (Plate 49) the field north of Walworth Common Field has the legend "King's high Way" written across it, and by a series of gates, the path can be traced across the neighbouring fields to Newington Butts. Rocque's map of 1761 shows the old path and a new straight road cutting right across it. This was the New Kent Road built under the Act of 1751 (ref. 325) by Turnpike Trustees appointed under an earlier Act. Towards the end of the century terraces of two- and three-storey houses, Rockingham Row, Rodney Buildings, Dover Place, etc., began to appear on either side. Many of them still survive, and their plain brick façades and the simple decorative treatment of the fanlights, door surrounds and ironwork, though frequently repeated, give them a certain dignity even in decay. The road also has a spaciousness lacking in many of its 19th century counterparts, for the 1751 Act stipulated that the road should be not less than 42 feet wide and many of the older houses still retain their front gardens.
A pleasing variety was given to the original street frontage by the setting back of County Terrace half-way along the north side and by the formation of Union Crescent and the Paragon on opposite sides of the way at the eastern end. On a pedestal in the garden, which has replaced the stretch of water in front of County Terrace, the Dickens Fellowship have recorded that it was there that David Copperfield paused to rest on his flight to his aunt at Dover. Union Crescent (Plate 88a) was pulled down to make room for the St. Saviour's and St. Olave's Grammar School for Girls in 1903.
The Paragon (Plate 86), of which a plan is given on p. 123, was designed by Michael Searles and built in 1789–90 for the Rolls family. Searles also designed the Paragon at Blackheath, and John Summerson comments that in both cases the name was given point by "strict architectural regularity on a rather unusual and decorative plan." (ref. 197) Nos. 1–12 were built under Searles' direction, Nos. 13–15 being added by William Chadwick in 1825 after Searles' death. It is unfortunate that the only house to survive is one of these later ones, No. 15 (Plate 87), which since 1902 has been the rectory of St. George the Martyr, Southwark. The rest of the Paragon was demolished in 1898 for the erection of a school. The rusticated gate piers in artificial stone at the entrance to each side of the Paragon still remain, the gardens having been formed into a small public open space.
Figure 43: St. George's Rectory and No. 220 New Kent Road
Residents in the Paragon include:—At No. 3, in 1840–50, William Oke Manning, a legal writer and, in 1855–63, George R. Corner, who published a number of papers on the history of Southwark; at No. 4, in 1789–91, Michael Searles; at No. 6, in 1829–55, Bryan Donkin, civil engineer and the inventor, among other things, of a method of packing meat and vegetables in airtight containers; at No. 8, in 1802–04, John Rolls, the lessee of the ground and owner of the Rolls Estate (see p. 122), in 1805–09, George Gwilt the elder, architect, surveyor to the County of Surrey and district surveyor of St. George's, Southwark. William Chadwick, who built many of the houses in Trinity Street and Square, lived at No. 15 between 1826 and 1832. (ref. 326)
Figure 44: Lead cistern from the Paragon
Nos. 214–218 next to the Paragon were built by Samuel Harrison on ground leased to John Rolls by St. Bartholomew's Hospital and formerly part of the Lock Hospital property (ref. 327) (see the footnote on p. 122). Nos. 154–170, 182–204 and 220–232 on the south side of the road all date from about the same period. Several of the houses have good fanlights. Nos. 279–283 and 289–295 at the east end of the north side are slightly smaller. They are set back from the road.
At the end of the street nearer the Elephant and Castle most of the original houses have been replaced by modern buildings; while shops have been built over the front gardens of those which remain. (fn. a) Adjacent to Gurney Street are two six-storey blocks called The Palatinate, erected in 1875, and designed "to provide convenient and healthy dwellings at moderate rents" to enable those "of a grade higher in the social scale" than the working class to live near their work. (ref. 328) They were built by Messrs. Sutton and Dudley, who were also responsible for most of the houses on the site of the Surrey Gardens off the Walworth Road. At the time they were put up they were a progressive experiment in housing, and the shops on the ground floor facing New Kent Road were an unusual feature. They form a solid contrast to the lighter and more open blocks of three-and four-storey flats now being erected by the London County Council to replace terraces in the street destroyed by enemy action.
Except in the Paragon there have been few notable residents in the road. The Rev. Charles Haddon Spurgeon lived at No. 217 in 1856–57, a fact recorded on a tablet on the house.

In 2006, Rascal Flatts (pictured) — as reported by Nielsen — were already the top-selling artist in the country. Three years later, The Band Perry arrived and started selling a few records themselves. As often happens in the entertainment business, superpowers with common interests end up joining forces into one mega-colossal musical strike force. Saturday night's pairing of the two award-worthy acts at Hartford's Comcast Theatre will surely blow the minds of area pop-country fans and leave them frothing in their King Cabs.

text: Integrated Municipal Stormwater and Wastewater PlansOVERVIEW EPA, the States and municipalities have achieved real progress in implementing the Clean Water Act (CWA) and protecting public health and the environment. The challenges today, however, are more complex than those of the past. Population growth, aging infrastructure, increasingly complex water quality issues and the current economic challenges are stressing the implementation of CWA programs. Today, EPA, States and municipalities often focus on each CWA requirement individually without full consideration of all CWA obligations. This approach may have the unintended consequence of constraining a municipality from addressing its most serious water quality issues first. An integrated planning process has the potential to identify a prioritized critical path to achieving the water quality objectives of the CWA by identifying efficiencies in implementing competing requirements that arise from separate wastewater and stormwater projects, including capital investments and operation and maintenance requirements. This approach can also lead to more sustainable and comprehensive solutions, such as green infrastructure, that improves water quality as well as supports other quality of life attributes that enhance the vitality of communities. The CWA and implementing regulations, policy and guidance provide the necessary flexibility to implement an integrated planning process. The integrated planning approach is not about lowering existing regulatory or permitting standards or delaying necessary improvements. Rather, it is intended to be an option provided to help municipalities meet their CWA obligations by optimizing the benefits of their infrastructure improvement investments through the appropriate sequencing of work. WHAT CAN I FIND ON THIS WEB SITE? October 27, 2011, Memorandum entitled Achieving Water Quality Through Integrated Municipal Stormwater and Wastewater Plans (PDF) (3 pp, 1.1MB) INTEGRATED PLANNING FRAMEWORK On June 5, 2012, EPA released the final Integrated Municipal Stormwater and Wastewater Planning Approach Framework (PDF) (9 pp, 396K) . The framework was developed in conjunction with the October 27, 2011 memorandum to provide further guidance for EPA, States and local governments in developing and implementing effective integrated plans under the CWA. This framework was finalized after extensive public input including a series of workshops across the country. DIALOGUE WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS Over the last several months, EPA and local governments have discussed clarifying how the Clean Water Act (CWA) provides flexibility to consider a community's financial circumstances when developing schedules for municipal projects necessary to meet CWA obligations. This dialogue demonstrates EPA's strong support for ensuring communities move forward to meet their CWA obligations in a sustainable manner. On January 18, 2013, EPA issued a memorandum to EPA Regions that described the status of the dialogue (PDF) (4 pp, 701K) . FAQs ABOUT INTEGRATED PLANNING EPA has developed responses to frequently asked questions about the Integrated Planning process (PDF) (10 pp, 234K) . WHERE CAN I FIND MORE INFORMATION?

Across America on two wheels
Man bikes cross-country to promote sustainability
The trip began April 20, in San Francisco and rolled into New Hampshire last week after a bicycle trek from Boston to Nashua. On Saturday night, he completed the leg from Nashua to Manchester, where he spent much of the 100th day of his journey at Arms Park, sitting by the Merrimack River while his water jug filled with water leaking from a fire hydrant several blocks away at the Manchester YMCA.
The idea of a trip across the country to demonstrate the ability to survive while using fewer natural resources was born of a month Greenfield spent living off the land in Hawaii on $750.
"I would be living off the grid, not using elecricity from on the grid, not using water from on the grid not buying packaged food," Greenfield said. "The idea was to take something of a step backward, not to the caveman days but to the point where we weren't wasting our resources so much."
"I had only a 40-degree sleeping bag and it got down to 18 degrees," Greenfield said. "I would make a fire in an aluminum pan and bring the coals into my tent with me."
"You have this flatland in front of you and you're looking at it and thinking 'I can pedal that' but the wind just pushes you backward," he said. Greenfield's bicycle pulled a small bike trailer in which he kept his supplies, including two solar panels used to power a laptop computer.
His journey across Iowa was done with the bicycle seat removed to "stand up for sustainability." He spent no money across Pennsylvania under the slogan "Penniless in Pennsylvania" to highlight the benefits of re-use over disposability.
For most of the trip, his drinking water came from rivers, ponds and rainwater — aided by a $375 portable water purification device.
From Manchester, Greenfield was to set off on the final 150-mile leg of his journey, with arrival in Waitsville, Vt. on Thursday.
Reflecting on the trip on a warm summer day, Greenfield said he hoped that by writing and blogging about it, he would inspire some to roll back their consumption of non-recyclables and waste of natural resources.

Remember when travel was glamorous? Unless you were lucky enough to have sailed down the Nile on an Edwardian riverboat or sipped cocktails on The Orient Express in the early 1930s, probably not. But Belstaff designer Martin Cooper, presenting his first resort collection since being appointed just under a year ago, wanted to try and conjure the notion nonetheless. "We wanted to explore the romanticism of travel, before it got so complicated," said Cooper, who spent a lot of time looking at vintage suitcases and epic war dramas like The English Patient and Lawrence of Arabia for inspiration.
There is certainly nothing fussy about this collection. Much like he did in his debut for fall 2012, Cooper kept the focus on the basic element at the heart of Belstaff's appeal: outerwear. (A canny move that played off his strengths, too, given his previous post as vice president and design director of outerwear at Burberry.) He was particularly interested in the company's famous four-pocket Trailmaster jacket, which he shrank for a more elegant fit and reworked in a variety of shapes, lengths, and proportions: There was a canvas version with brown leather patches; a collarless one in mustard-yellow linen; and even a belted shift-dress style that, in keeping with the romantic traveler conceit, has a distinct safari feel. "You might think we see the Trailmaster as a hindrance," Cooper continues. "But spinning it in different ways is actually very liberating."
Just as Burberry famously mines its archives for modern takes on classic features, Cooper's approach fits perfectly with Belstaff's motorcycle-clothing legacy. But underneath all the biker-jacket cool, there were some remarkably imaginative details—such as the fact that most jacket collars have leather piping on both sides and can be worn up and down. Or the subtle way Cooper has blown up the cross-hatch knurling on vintage Belstaff belt buckles and turned it into a diamond pattern that can be found everywhere from jacket linings to quilted leather skirts and dresses.
The motorcycle references even found their way onto the daintier pieces. The color-block patchwork pattern on a gray jersey dress, for instance, was meant to evoke old-fashioned racing stripes, and light pleated silk skirts came complete with heavy gage zippers for what Cooper called a "tough and feminine" effect. Although the women who partook in the golden age of travel weren't known for carrying their own luggage, it all suggests the new Belstaff woman would be more than equipped if she had to.

New York Premiere - Public Lab
THE GREAT IMMENSITY at The Public Theater
Written and Directed by Steven Cosson
Songs by Michael Friedman
April 11-May 1, 2014
In a thrilling and timely production, presented in association with The Public Theater, THE GREAT IMMENSITY is a continent-hopping thriller following a woman, Phyllis, as she pursues her husband Karl who disappeared from a tropical island while on an assignment for a nature show.
Through her search, Phyllis uncovers a mysterious plot surrounding the upcoming international climate summit in Paris. As the days count down to the summit, Phyllis must decipher the plan and possibly stop it in time. With arresting projected film and video and a wide-ranging score of songs, THE GREAT IMMENSITY is a highly theatrical look into one of the most vital questions of our time: how can we change ourselves and our society in time to solve the enormous environmental challenges that confront us?

Check out our environmental website inspired by the play! Six characters, including Polly, are bloggers on the site, posting about a wide variety of environmental topics and telling the real stories of individuals making a difference in these large and vital issues. The site also features an original video series by our Associate Artist Alix Lambert of interviews with artists creating inspirational environmental work, the first of which is with Academy Award-winning Louie Psihoyos, director of The Cove. We hope you'll explore the site, comment on the posts and videos, and help us spread the word!
The Great Immensity explores the themes of climate change and biodiversity loss in two distinct locations: Barro Colorado Island (BCI) in the Panama Canal and the city of Churchill in arctic Canada. Both of these extraordinary places have natural ecosystems already deeply affected by the shift in climate, centers of scientific research, and relationships to global shipping: the Panama Canal and the Port of Churchill. The play takes its name from an enormous Chinese Panamax ship that the authors observed crossing the Panama Canal. Drawing on interviews with individuals such as botanists, paleontologists, climatologists, indigenous community leaders, Polar Bear Tour guides, and trappers, The Great Immensity gives voice to real people whose stories make the reality of present crisis tangible and viscerally felt, inspiring us all to make the profound changes this moment demands.
With The Great Immensity, The Civilians launches The Next Forever Initiative, an ongoing commitment to produce work with an environmental conscience.
The Great Immensity is funded by the National Science Foundation.

The Civilians worked with scientists, policy makers, artists and students of Princeton University during the 2009-2010 season:
The Great Immensity was developed during a 2009-2010 Princeton Atelier in the Lewis Center for the Arts in collaboration with the Princeton Environmental Institute at Princeton University. The Princeton Atelier is a unique program that brings together professional artists from different disciplines to create new work in the context of a seminar/workshop with Princeton students. The Civilians worked with scientists, policy makers, artists, and undergraduates at Princeton University to develop the script and research the many topics associated with climate change.
The play received a Work-In-Progress showing on April 17, 2010 at the Berlind Theatre at the McCarter Theatre Center at Princeton University.
The Public Theater in New York presented a reading of THE GREAT IMMENSITY as part of the New Work Now! Festival on May 12, 2010. The play received readings at the Barrow Street Theater in October of 2010 and in Manhattan Theatre Club's 7@7 series on April 11, 2011. Excerpts were read at CUNY's Graduate Center as a special Earth Day Event on April 22, 2011.
The play recieved its world premiere production at Kansas City Repertory Theatre February 18 through March 17, 2012.

Baldwin records 250th career victory
When Tim Baldwin took over the Goose Creek High School girls basketball program over a decade ago, the big-picture goal was sustainable success.
The Lady Gators have been able to do that, and gave Baldwin his 250th career victory on Monday night, blasting Berkeley 66-22 at GCHS.
This is not a me achievement, said Baldwin, in his 12th season in charge. This is a we achievement. It doesnt matter how good a coach is, youve got to have the players that want to get better and be the best they can be.
Youre not going to hit milestones without good players and assistant coaches.
Baldwin was presented a signed basketball by his players after the win over Berkeley. The Lady Gators improved to 4-0.
Center Semoine Frasier and guard Alex Ludwig had 14 and 11 points respectively to lead the way. Guard Ashley Fields contributed nine points and point guard Jalvin Jones chipped in eight points.
Baldwins team hosts Fort Dorchester on Wednesday night and travels to Hanahan on Friday.
In his tenure, Baldwins teams have won seven region titles and a state championship. Theyve been to the Lower State finals four years in a row.
This season, its been easy for the Lady Gators. They opened up with a 56-13 win over Timberland on Dec. 4 then followed with victories over Berkeley (71-15) and Hanahan (60-34).

In the former, damage had been done not only to the Roman Catholic Church but, far more seriously, to those children. In the latter, a therapeutic plant that people don't die from or become addicted to was being produced.
The priest got two-and-a-half years, the gardener four. I suggest that it is not only the priest that is perverted, but also the legal system that thinks we need more protection from the latter than the former.

Sphereby Michael Crichton
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"Ingenious and beguiling."
—Time "Crichton keeps us guessing at every turn in his best work since The Andromeda Strain." "Sphere may be Crichtons best novel, but even if it ranked only second or third, it would be a must for suspense fans." A classic thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Crichton, Sphere is a bravura demonstration of what he does better than anyone: riveting storytelling that combines frighteningly plausible, cutting edge science and technology with pulse-pounding action and serious chills. The gripping story of a group of American scientists sent to the ocean floor to investigate an alien ship, only to confront a terrifying discovery that defies imagination, Sphere is Crichton prime—truly masterful fiction from the ingenious mind that brought us Prey, State of Fear, and Jurassic Park. Synopsis:In the middle of the South Pacific, a thousand feet below the surface of the water, a huge vessel is discovered resting on the ocean floor. It is a spaceship of phenomenal dimensions, apparently undamaged by its fall from the sky. And, most startling, it appears to be at least three hundred years old.
But even more fantastic—and frightening—is what waits inside . . . About the AuthorMICHAEL CRICHTONs novels include Pirate Latitudes, Next, State of Fear, Prey, Timeline, Jurassic Park, and The Andromeda Strain. He is also known as a filmmaker and the creator of ER. One of the most popular writers in the world, he has sold over 150 million books, which have been translated into thirty-six languages; thirteen have been made into films. He remains the only writer to have had the number one book, movie and TV show at the same time.
