Mable McNealey was the speaker of the Black History program titled "Exploring Black History." This year's observance of Black History Month celebrates 50 years since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed into law. This year's theme is Civil Rights in America, McNealey said, and she asked former educators to volunteer and share their experiences before or during the integration period.
"We know the story. We know how the achievements and contributions of people of color were not always recognized in the history books," McNealey said. "Black history is American history because it's the achievement that American people have made. As you taught during your careers, I know you touched on it somewhat, but a lot of things were still omitted. These programs are a way of letting people know what achievements and what contributions we have made."
Charlene Stephenson spoke about her career as a teacher at T.R. Simmons Elementary and how Russell Lee, an elementary student at that time, was always willing to help her any way he could. Lee received a degree in criminal justice with a minor in psychology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He now teaches at the YMCA and works at the Birmingham Public Library. At one point, Lee was the organist for the 16th Street Baptist Church in North Birmingham, which was the location of a tragic bombing during the Civil Rights movement.
Another woman mentioned the accomplishment of C. J. Harris, a current contestant on "American Idol." Others commented on Dr. King and Rosa Parks, while three other women briefly mentioned about their teaching experiences during that era.
"Not as a teacher, but as a student during that time, my dad was stationed in California. California schools were integrated, and I went to school with all kinds of students," said the association's parliamentarian Pat Spears. "When I came back to the South in Virginia, boy was that a culture shock! But, it prepared me for coming back. I didn't see a problem with it as a student, but maybe the adults did."
McNealey shared a story about visiting an institute for English teachers in Dickinson, N. D., during the time she was a young teacher at Oakman High School. Out of 21 teachers at the institute, there were only three African Americans — two men and herself, the only black female.
McNealey became friends with two white females from out of state, one was a nun and the other was from Minnesota. The ladies received some awkward glances, McNealey said, when the three of them would frequent different fast food restaurants.
"There were no black people in the town, Dickinson, N.D. ... It was quite a learning experience," McNealey laughed. "My husband and I went out in a restaurant one night, and this boy came in with his family. He said, 'Look Mama! Some negroes,' and she looked; we smiled. But, some people had never seen a black person up close because there aren't any in Dickinson."
The group was then introduced to what McNealey calls African American Bingo. Trivia questions were asked about famous black celebrities, inventors, athletes, singers, etc.
The educators joked, laughed and carried on like the kids they once taught years ago.
In closing, McNealey said, "When we were teachers, we were teachers, and that's what we did. We taught who they sent in there for us to teach, regardless of their color ... People are people, you know that."
In other business, the association:
•gained two new members bringing the total to 149 in membership.
•will have its annual meeting in Birmingham April 1, 2014.
•nominated and elected new officers to be installed in April. Officers will be Gail Alexander serving as president; Jane Roberts, vice president; Charlene Stephenson, secretary; Charlotte Elkins, treasurer; and Pat Spears, parliamentarian.

To play, it's as easy as dragging the pieces and placing them on their right place, keeping in mind that there's only one solution to each puzzle and it might not be as easy as it seems at first.

Alex Ovechkin had his ice time limited by coach Dale Hunter -- for reasons unknown -- for much of Game 2, but we remarked at the start of the third period that it seemed as though he was still active in the action he was seeing. He had plenty of scoring chances, took a massive number of shots and was a presence despite having fewer minutes than Jay freakin' Beagle, and this was all amidst chants of "Ovi sucks!" from the New York crowd.
In the third period, about six minutes after a Ryan Callahan goal pulled the Rangers back even with the Capitals at 2-2, Ovechkin gave his team the lead right back. Ovi sucks, indeed.
The goal was made possible by a subtle interference play by Nicklas Backstrom right off the faceoff. It went unnoticed by the officials and prevented Brian Boyle from getting out to Ovechkin near the blueline. By the time Boyle evaded Backstrom, he couldn't do much to prevent Ovechkin's shot from getting through on net, where it beat Henrik Lundqvist.
Insult to injury? Backstrom was credited with the assist.

As the cold snap continues in the Tennessee Valley, local Veterinarian Dr. Jim Hammond offers some cold weather tips to pet owners.
The Northgate Animal Hospital vet said all pets should be kept inside when the temperatures drop below 20 degrees. Puppies, kittens and short haired pets should be inside when it dips below 40, he said.
"I love garages and basements because they always stay above freezing and a lot of times they're warm from the warmth of the house," Dr. Hammond said.
Trying to keep your pets safe and warm in these bitter cold temperatures can be dangerous.
Wednesday, a light bulb sparked a fire in Highland Park. The homeowner used the heat source to keep his dogs warm in the barn. The shelter was destroyed in the afternoon fire.
"The dogs come bouncing into the building and some of those guys can be like whiplash with their tails but they can knock those things over and the next thing you know, you can have a fire that's out of control," he said.

Less than a month after the dust settled on the 2008 Presidential election, Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has a new book out and lots to say about where the GOP goes from here.
Less than a month after the dust settled on the 2008 Presidential election, Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has a new book out and lots to say about where the GOP goes from here.For starters, he says Republicans have to remember their social conservative base."I call them 'politically homeless,'" Huckabee said Wednesday at a Capitol Hill breakfast. "They're welcome to the table for primaries and Election Day but not the rest of the time."And by social conservatives, Huckabee says he doesn't just mean religious conservatives. He says the title also includes voters without strong religious convictions, and it fits many rural voters too. Either way, he insisted that within that core group, the GOP must find a way to erase the "disconnect between values voters and fiscal conservatives." Huckabee's other recipe for Republican success—less top-down management coupled with a harnessing of new media and the Internet.During the primary season, Huckabee's campaign used new media tools and free media brilliantly at times. Thanks largely to online fund raising and ads starring Chuck Norris, Huckabee went from presidential long shot to winning eight primaries. "Republicans have not understood the power of [this new medium]," Huckabee chided. "We've got to be more web driven and play by those new rules."This, he argued, is the future of the party, and unless Republicans can catch up to the tech-savvy Democrats, the comeback is a long way off.As for national leadership, Huckabee is backing his former campaign manager Chip Saltsman, for RNC chair. But no matter who is at the helm Huckabee says the party needs to fix some structural flaws."The RNC has had the same thing wrong as the federal government," he said. "They've centralized more power at the expense of the states. We've got to organize from the precinct level up, not the RNC level down."The governor offered little on his own political future. The good news for his party, Huckabee says, is that the GOP has nowhere to go but up. "Thank goodness that [election] is over," he said. "But things could always be worse."Abigail Shaha is contributor to Politics magazine. firstname.lastname@example.com

Dolly Parton says she will no longer be involved in a planned water and snow park in Nashville.
In a statement Friday, Parton said due to the decision by Gaylord stockholders on September 25 to sell the daily operation of its Opryland Resort and Convention Center to Marriott, the Dollywood Company has ended its participation in the previously announced Nashville water park.
"Gaylord makes decisions that they feel are good for their company and their stockholders and I have to make decisions based on what is best for me and the Dollywood Company," Parton said. "Governor Haslam, Mayor Dean, and all the folks in government have been great to work with. I really appreciate their support through this process."
She added, "I think everyone knows I love Nashville and I hope the work we've already done will spark more family entertainment in Nashville."
Nashville's News 2 first reported Parton had doubts about the proposed theme park last month.
When asked about the park's progress during a news conference celebrating her latest gold record in early August, Parton took a deep breath and then said, "Well, that is a kind of... we are working on it, that's kind of in a holding pattern right now."
"There are a lot of changes going on, I am not really sure. We are still working on that," she added before taking an unrelated question.
The proposed park was slated to employ 450 full-and part-time employees and would've been a big boost for the Nashville economy.
In a statement released late Friday afternoon, Gaylord Chairman and CEO Colin Reed expressed disappointment but said, "We continue to believe that a water park attraction on the property adjacent to Gaylord Opryland would be a valuable contributor to both our hotel and Nashville tourism. We will endeavor to find another quality partner so that this important tourism project can become a reality."
Nashville Mayor Karl Dean added, "I am disappointed with this news, but I am happy to hear that Gaylord still plans to pursue the possibility of a water park. A theme park would be great for Nashville and our tourism industry. I think the world of Dolly Parton, who has been wonderful to both Nashville and the entire state of Tennessee."

Alligators get the headlines, but if a squirrel makes a home in your attic or an opossum moves in, you may need the help of a "wildlife detective."
"It is sometimes detective work," said Dustin Hooper, owner of All Creatures Wildlife Control in Lakeland. "You have to figure out what it is, where it's coming from, how to get it, and then you just jump right in there."
Hooper started his business six years ago after working for another company for a year. As Florida grows, more trappers like Hooper are finding work.
"We do have a lot of wildlife issues, especially when they're developing new apartments and housing developments," he said.
On a recent afternoon, I rode with Hooper in his Toyota pick-up truck carrying a large, wire trap in the bed.
When we reached the end of a residential street, he stopped, grabbed the trap and began setting it up in a back yard.
"There has been a coyote spotted in this area," he said as he positioned the trap next to a fence and covers it with leaves.
He said coyotes are smart and difficult to trap (shooting holes in the image of the bumbling Wiley Coyote of Roadrunner fame). Hooper said unless coyotes are rabid, they're not usually dangerous to humans, but they can kill small dogs and cats.
Hooper said he caught his first snake at 7 years old and hasn't stopped. He doesn't trap alligators, but pretty much everything else, including raccoons, foxes, opossums, squirrels, armadillos, bats and wild pigs.
Not only does he capture them in his trap, he often captures them on video, too. His smartphone is full of video documenting his successes.
"We called him, and the next morning he came out and trapped the animals," said Daniel Smith, who works in a warehouse that was invaded by raccoons, opossums and squirrels. "We leave it to the professionals. Dustin got them."
State law dictates that nuisance animals be euthanized except under certain conditions.
"I don't like to kill healthy animals," Hooper said. "Thank God I have a few friends that have land that let me release certain animals. It's unfortunate that sometimes animals have to be euthanized. That's just the way it is," he said.
One fear among state biologists is that nuisance animals can be sick and infect other wildlife, but the state law is controversial.
Hooper is divorced with no children. He volunteers providing transportation to cancer patients, taking them to and from treatment.
Those trips are often made with the trap in the back of the truck. Later, he may have to climb into an attic looking for bats, or squeeze into a crawl space searching for an opossum.
It's all in a day's work.
"I get to help people and animals, and it doesn't get any better than that for me," he told us.

A Bossier Parish school bus was involved in a wreck Monday afternoon, but there were no serious injuries. Louisiana State Police say they cited the bus driver, Mary Dudley, for following too closely.
It happened on Princeton Road just north of Highway 80 shortly after 3 p.m.
According to Bossier Schools' transportation director, the driver of bus 248 was transporting approximately 38 students from Haughton Middle School. When she topped a hill on Princeton Road, a truck was stopped in the middle of the road at the bottom of the hill. The bus driver applied her brakes and tried to swerve to avoid hitting him, at which time she clipped the truck's back fender. The outside right tires on the bus went off the asphalt and got stuck in the mud.
One student complained of a headache and was transported to Willis Knighton Bossier. No other injuries were reported.
Some parents arrived to take their children home. Another bus was sent to take the rest of the children home.
Louisiana State Police and the Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office are on the scene. The investigation continues.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- City officials are preparing to sell Cincinnati's historic Music Hall to a private group that will take over a $165 million renovation of the building.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports (http://cin.ci/w8FX6e ) that the proposed sale price of the 134-year-old Over-the-Rhine structure is only $1.
Under the deal, a private nonprofit entity called Music Hall Revitalization Co. Inc. would responsible for raising money for the building's makeover. The newspaper reports that the group would also handle future operating and maintenance costs that are a drain on the city's budget.
The building's upgrade is likely to be delayed by a year because of fundraising difficulties. It would be the second yearlong delay since the project was announced in 2006.
The city's Planning Commission is slated to consider the proposed deal next Friday.

Too many cooks in the kitchen is never a problem for this group. They work for Adventures in Granola, a Vermont company celebrating the abilities of young adults with disabilities -- so the more hands the better.David, Madeline, Adam and Ari are four of the five workers the non-profit employs. Adventures in Granola is an extension of Partners in Adventure. The group's Debbie Lamden, says it was a natural progression as these kids grew into adults. "You can find a way to have people involved no matter what their ability level is if you're creative and think about it. There's ways to make it work," she said.Ari, who is deaf and non verbal, was waiting for a job for two years before he started at the company. "He has limited things he can do in the real world out there, so we're trying to create a real world for people with disabilities, where they can be valued just as much as anywhere else and we are here -- we're one big family," Lamden saidIt's a family that's developed three unique granola varieties -- all made with Vermont maple syrup and a lot of love. "See, look, I'm talking and working at the same time. I know and I like what I see," David said.Reporter Gina Bullard: What do you think about people buying this product that you made? David: Proud.Until it finds a permanent home, the group uses different kitchens throughout the community. They'd love a long term space. Each bag of granola sells for 10-dollars, but after supplies are paid for and payroll is covered, they barely break even."I just got my first pay check this week," David said. So where's David's money going? "Creemees -- when its hot," he added."You're supporting people with disabilities by buying this granola. That's pretty exciting you're actually making a difference," Lamden said.Making a difference for those with disabilities who are celebrating their abilities with their product that's Made in Vermont.

Settlers on Thursday night called on their supporters to head to the
Ulpana outpost on the outskirts of the Beit El settlement to thwart IDF
plans to demolish five stone apartment buildings by July 1.
"We have to defend these homes with our bodies," said Itzhik Shadmi, who heads the Binyamin Citizens' Committee.
"Everyone for whom the nation of Israel is dear, should come here," he said.
thousands are here there won't be any demolitions. This business that
it is easy to tear down Jewish homes when thousand of unauthorized
[Palestinian] homes are being built nearby in Area C. This terrible
discrimination has to be stopped," he said.
Shadmi, along with the
Beit El Council head Moshe Rosenbaum and residents of the Ulpana outpost
spoke with the media at a press conference they held in a large tent,
which was set up outside the homes.
Some supporters have already set up sleeping tents in the parking lot outside
the homes. They have also begun stockpiling tires, which were lined up
Thursday night by the walkway in back of the Ulpana structures.
At the press conference, settlers warned against a civil war even as they said that they planed to conduct a non-violent protest.
The danger of a civil war is the result of the decision to destroy the homes, said Beit El Council head Moshe Rosenbaum.
person who is responsible for this situation is the one could
neutralize this situation. It is in his hands," said Rosenbaum,
referring to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
"It is the right
of the residents and the thousands who support them to sit in their
homes and to passively protest this immoral, unjust and inhuman
decision, and that is what is going to happen," Rosenbaum said.
He said he opposed violence against soldiers and those who were there would do their best to prevent it.
"We are not an army. We are citizens," Rosenbaum said.
those who spoke was Menahem Tzur. The Ulpana was built in the memory of
his mother Etta, 48, who was killed by members of the Popular Front in
1996 along with his brother Ephraim, 12, as they drove west of Beit El.
At the time, Netanyahu, who then in his first term as prime minister, promised to build in their memory on the spot of Ulpana.
"The prime minister said then that the response to terror was that on this hill a thousand homes will be built," said Tzur.
was the same prime minister who now does not have the strength to stand
against his legal advisers who are introducing their own agenda," said
"It is very hard for me and my family to watch this," he said.
He rejected calls by Netanyahu and politicians for the Ulpana residents to willingly leave their homes.
"There is no such thing as a voluntary evacuation," he said.
"If [the government] desires, it can find a solution," he added.
Fattal, who has lived in the Ulpana for five years, said that residents
have already undergone long difficult months. She is a member of one of 30 families
who face eviction.
She said it was very disappointing to see
politicians who had visited their homes and had promised that nothing
would happen, have now retracted those pledges.
"We want to see politicians who stand by their word," she said.
The normal lives of those who live in Ulpana have been disrupted, she said.
"They want to destroy our homes. We are moving, we do not know when or how. Our neighbors will remain with the ruins," she said.
She and others said they rejected the court ruling that their homes were built without permits on private Palestinian property.
matter, they said, was not adjudicated and all that happened is that the
court rubber-stamped the state's written testimony to the court.
Nachliel, the secretary of the neighboring settlement Ofra, said that
what happened in Ulpana, would have an impact on other settlements and
"We have to stop it, here and now," he said.
High Court of Justice is suppose to provide answers in real time, but
in reality, there is not even a procedure by which to actually debate
the issue of land ownership. "We have a number of petitions in Ofra,
that are like this petition," he said.
Fattal added, "We had expected this government to rule with justice."

JPMorgan in Twitter s#itstormNovember 14, 2013: 10:37 AM ET
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) went viral on Twitter Wednesday ... and not in a good way.
The bank, which has already had its share of bad press recently, announced plans to have one of its senior executives, Jimmy Lee, "take over" the @JPMorgan handle Thursday afternoon to answer questions from the social media masses.
Tomorrow at 1pm ET $JPM Vice Chairman Jimmy Lee takes over @JPMorgan to answer your questions for 1 hour. Tweet your Q early using #AskJPM—
J.P. Morgan (@jpmorgan) November 13, 2013
Just a friendly chat. What could possibly go wrong?
It turns out many people on Twitter still have hard feelings about the whole financial crisis and Great Recession thing, and they wanted to #AskJPM about it.
After about seven hours, it became clear that JPMorgan had lost control and the bank pulled the plug on the social media event.
Tomorrow's Q&A is cancelled. Bad Idea. Back to the drawing board.—

... and the obligatory taking candy from a baby joke.
Will the firm explore new markets, like selling candy-backed securities to babies w/o disclosing the lack of chocolate in the bonds? #AskJPM—

Maybe JPMorgan can try its next social media experiment on Snapchat? We hear it's popular because messages get erased in a few minutes.

A New York Times reporter introduced us last week to Tammy Yancey, a $9.50-an-hour gas station attendant for Sam's Club in Pinellas Park, Fla.
Walmart, which also operates Sam's Club, had just announced sweeping health insurance cuts and premium increases for its one million employees.
Those increases included a steep penalty for employees who smoke.
Yancey, a smoker who earns $12,000 a year, would see her annual health insurance premiums more than double to $3,325, about a quarter of her income.
"I really can't go without insurance," she told the Times, "because I have a heart problem.
Yancey epitomizes the rapidly emerging health care crisis in the U.S.:
* A nation of people who cannot or will not take common-sense measures to protect their own health;
* Employers who are increasingly unwilling or unable to foot the bill for ever-more-expensive health care; and
* State and federal governments increasingly swamped in medical bills for the sickest people, the poor and the elderly.
The result is a health-care system that is, in the words of a leading health policy research foundation, lagging further and further behind other industrialized nations in quality, efficiency and access to care.
The Commonwealth Fund reported last week that Americans are far more likely to die than the citizens of other countries from preventable or treatable conditions: bacterial infections, screenable cancers, diabetes and complications from surgery.
The U.S. recorded 96 preventable deaths per 100,000 people in 2006-2007. France, meanwhile, reported 55.
In important areas like controlling blood sugar in diabetes patients, newborn mortality and childhood obesity, the U.S. continues to trail other national systems.
And the situation has likely worsened since then. In 2010, 81 million Americans were either uninsured or underinsured at some point in the year. That's up from 65 million in 2003.
"The U.S. ranks last out of 16 industrialized countries on a measure of mortality amenable to medical care," according to the report.
The lamentable conclusion: "As many as 91,000 fewer people would die prematurely if the U.S. could achieve the leading country rate."
Except for improvement in a few select areas, like hospital-acquired infections, the U.S. is going in the wrong direction.
In Texas, for instance, more than 25 percent of its citizens are now uninsured. A third of its children did not receive an annual physical or a teeth cleaning in 2007. One in five senior citizens ends up back in the hospital within a month after a major procedure.
By almost any measure, this system is broken. Meanwhile, the only significant attempt to change that picture, the Affordable Health Care for America Act, is being challenged in the U.S. Supreme Court by 23 states.
And in an election year, there seems to be little interest in revisiting the issue.
That's inexcusable.
In another two years, will we be even further behind other similar countries?
There's little to indicate otherwise.

Compression fracture
As people age, there is a potential for the bones to develop osteoporosis, a condition where bones lose their calcium content. This makes bone more susceptible to breaking. One such type of injury is a compression fracture to the spine, most often the thoracic or lumbar spine. Since we are an upright animal, if the bones of the back cannot withstand the force of gravity these bones can crumple. Pain is the major complaint, especially with movement and often there is an acute event where pain is felt. There may or not be a fall or injury associated with the pain as compression fractures may occur spontaneously.
Compression injuries of the back may or may not be associated with nerve or spinal cord injury. An X-ray of the back can reveal the bone injury, however, sometimes a CT scan or MRI will be used to insure that no damage is done to the spinal cord. However, if there is a loss of bowel control or the inability to urinate (urinary retention), the symptoms of cauda equina syndrome, requires an emergent MRI to assure that the spinal cord is not at risk of permanent damage.
Treatment includes pain medication and often a back brace. Some compression fractures can also be treated with vertebroplasty. Vertebroplasty involves inserting a glue-like material into the center of the collapsed spinal vertebra in order to stabilize and strengthen the crushed bone. The glue (methylmethacrylate) is inserted with a needle and syringe through anesthetized skin into the midportion of the vertebra under the guidance of specialized X-ray equipment. Once inserted, the glue soon hardens, forming a cast-like structure within the compressed vertebra. However, there are studies and controversy whether this procedure is effective and beneficial.

Is It Hard to Get Fired?
Sometimes, the worse you are at your job the harder it is to let you go.
The short answer is, it can be. The long answer? Well, that's why you're here, isn't it? Gather round and get ready for some serious answering.
Posted by The Jackal at 3:27 AM 0 comments
Labels: getting fired, is it hard to get fired, termination, ways to get fired, wrongful termination
Why Do People Get Fired?
Taking a dump on someone's desk is one way to part with your company.
At a time when hundreds of thousands of people are unemployed due to lay-offs, company bankruptcies and budget cuts, it only seemed natural to look at the the most common reasons the rest of us lose our jobs.
What are the top reasons people get fired?
To get at the answer I carefully mixed the hazed memories of my own experience and observation with some very dubious internet research. And, to be honest, the results were hardly shocking. I mean, some of this stuff is so obvious it's incredible people do it and get fired for it, but there it is.
Friendship at Work - Oxymoron or Oxygenius?
Should you make friends at work - a philosophical minefield.
Is it possible to find a friend in the cold corridors of a faceless corporation? Yes. Of course it is. What a stupid question.
But since we spend way too much at work it seemed like a good idea to take a look at the way human relationships unfold in the corporate world. I mean, who the hell are these people we cohabit the ruins of Western Civilization with 40+ hours a week? What kind of relations do we build with them?
Dealing with Work-Related Depression
If you find yourself sitting in a fetal position outside your work, you may want to re-evaluate things.
It could be the beginning of the year, your work-anniversary, your birthday, or a Monday - any day that signals a new beginning. But then again, it might as well be yet another day. Nothing is different, everything is just as pointless as it was before, and whatever new reserves of energy you acquired that gave you the strength to go on are already depleting faster than the ozone layer.
You, my friend, are suffering from work-related depression.
Dealing With Extra Work
Time to learn how to say "no" to your boss.
It's 4:49pm, and in 11 minutes you have to brave traffic, pick up your kids from school, organize some kind of communal meal, visit your mother-in-law in the hospital to make sure the hip she broke while polishing the TV antenna on her roof is healing, go through the mail, pay your bills, dedicate 20 minutes to your secret online poker addiction on pogo.com, and read a few pages from the latest Stephen King novel about an evil door handle that makes people explode, before finally collapsing in bed.
But then you are suddenly interrupted by a call from your boss. Apprehensive, you walk over to her office and when you see her face you already know it's no good. Sure enough, there's a project that needs to get done ASAP. You glance at the clock pointedly, now showing 4:55pm, but she stares you down into submission. How do you say "no" in a situation like this?

The Most Depressing Jobs
It can be exciting, but they don't call it "shell shock" for nothing.
First and foremost, happy New Year! After a lot of thinking, I decided that nothing would say "Bring on 2012!" better than a little entry on the most depressing jobs out there. You may think the Jackal has gone completely insane, but there's no better way to start a New Year than on a crappy note, because it only leaves room for improvement.

The "Fun" Oppression
The clenched fist and raised arm are typical of a "happy" employee.
Across your typical fiscal year, how many pot-lucks, holiday parties, company morale-boosting meetings, birthday gatherings, Secret Santa gift exchanges, baby showers, engagement celebrations, and other fun team-building exercises do you have at the office?
How many inspirational emails do you receive from your CEO, whose frequent Mother Teresa and Gandhi quotes make you think you're going to end world hunger by sorting that Excel data sheet and shipping it off to some corporate wig?
Do you get stopped in the hallway, on your way to get that repressively foul cup of coffee from your hopelessly depressing employee lounge, and get told to smile more? Or worse, that your work is appreciated and that you matter?

What Kind of an Employee Am I?
4 REVOLUTIONARY employees with

Instead of hammering at you with wise reflections on the moral decay of the modern corporate world, the Jackal is going to give you some fun.
It's almost the end of the year, which for some people is a time of self-assessment, laying the foundations for those New Year's Resolutions they never keep. For others, it's just another reason to go shopping and get drunk on New Year's Eve, erasing the memories of the deeply troubled and traumatizing past. And yet for others, it's just a fun time. So, to go with the spirit of the third group, here are some fun surveys to help you determine what type of employee you are:

An East Texas business is doing their part to make
sure jobs stay in their community
Venison Joe's in Van is an all natural dog treat and
chew company that distributes nationwide, but their bigger mission is to
provide jobs to local citizens.
"It started as a company that wanted to provide
jobs and opportunities for people in the city of Van, rather then have them
leave the city of Van and that sort of thing," Owner Tom Reagan said.
The company began as a small internet company at Tom
Regan's kitchen table, in a time when the economy was tanking and no new
businesses were starting.
"When we started this company, everyone told me
I was crazy because that was about the time that things really started to go
south, but I had enough confidence in the business plan and in the alternative
protein chew we had started that I thought the company was going to
succeed," Reagan said.
Venison Joe's sells all natural dog chews and bones
of elk, bison and beef online and to distributors in 43 states and in Canada.
"It provided us the opportunity to stimulate
the economy, if we could in the United States, as well as provide people with
jobs and keep them busy right here in our own home town," Reagan said.
One of those people is Jamie Tunnell, Venison Joe's
office manager for the past year.
"I was searching Craig's List and I found a
posting about a dog treat company in Van. I thought there is no way,"
Tunnell said.
However, to Tunnell's surprise, there actually was a
new company in Van offering jobs. Now Tunnell has become an intercate part of
the company.
"I feel a part of ownership in it cause I've
seen everything from boxes being designed to venison snack bags being designed
to growing our distribution from 5 states to 43 states. It's almost an
adrenalin rush, like we did this, in like 11 months. How cool is this?"
Tunnell said.
As the company grows, it allows Reagan to hire more
people in the community.
"We're trying to grow our business, not because
our company is trying to take over the dog bone industry in the world, but
because were trying to put our people back to work. There are a lot of people in
the city of Van that could use an extra job or use the revenue. We try to
provide that for them and that's kind of the big idea of why were here,"
Reagan said.

What would be an acceptable low end compression reading for a MD on the diesel side? What is the low & high end range? I can't seem to find it in the service manual. Thanks.

Rachel & Jake at boxing
247PapsTV/ Splash
Last week, Rachel McAdams and Jake Gyllenhaal were seen together at dinner in Pittsburgh. Click here for a refresher. They're working on a film, Southpaw. The movie is about boxing. There was a big boxing match on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, Cotto vs Martinez. Full Story
Rachel & Jakey: Gossip Genie come true?
Kevin Winter/ Getty
Oh I've been hoping for it for a long time. I've been rubbing my Gossip Genie desperately to make this happen. In 2010 I wished for it here. And since then every 6 months or so. When Rachel and Michael Sheen broke up I wished for it again here Full Story

Gwyneth Paltrow was at the first annual Poetic Justice Fundraiser for the Coalition For Engaged Education yesterday in Santa Monica.

Rihanna & Drake: My Happiness
If you've been reading my blog long enough, you know this has been near the top of my Gossip Genie wish list. Maybe even at the very, very top. For a while there it was looking unlikely. But lately… Oh lately… They tease. I hope they're not teasing. Because this is my happiness. Full Story
Rihanna & Drake in Paris
Marc Piasecki/ Getty
Drake's been on tour in Paris. And…Rihanna also happens to be in Paris. Ohhhhh realllllly? There was a dinner the other night. Last night they were both at Club 79 – where Robin Thicke was groping strange women not too long ago – and some are saying they were on it. I just got an email telling me that they were hooking up all night. Full Story
Jared Leto wants to eat the Khaleesi
I called Jared Leto's the Worst Speech at the Golden Globes. Brazilian waxing wasn't cutting it. For anyone. So he's worked on it since. And his SAG winning speech was much better, dedicating his award to those living with HIV/AIDS, James Gandolfini, and his "hot" mother. Full Story
Taylor, Alexander, Katie
Taylor Swift, Alexander Skarsgard, and Katie Holmes are all in South Africa to shoot The Giver. And they all went out for dinner the other night with other cast members. Click here to see the photos. How badly do you want that to happen? What? Well, we have two options here. Full Story
Rihanna shat on my Gossip Genie but not on Harry Styles
Larry Busacca/ Jamie McCarthy/ Neilson Barnard/ Kevin Mazur/ Rick Diamond/ Getty
I've been praying hard at my Gossip Genie for a Rihanna-Drake re-hookup. Have you noticed that Drake isn't "linked" to many women the way famous men are constantly being "linked" to women? There's a Toronto bias here at work, sure, but if you know about Drake and his relationship with his mother, and if you read his recent profile in GQ Full Story
Gossip Genie to the Hamptons
Gwyneth Paltrow's in the Hamptons, riding around on her scooter, no makeup, cut-off jeans, hair scraped back in a bun. You know who else is spending August in the Hamptons? The Slum Bears. Gossip Genie that for me would you? G and JLO running into each other at Jack's Coffee. Full Story
Gossip Genie this NOW
Wenn, Jason Merritt/ Kevin Winter/ FOX/ Getty
When Harry Styles goes to LA, is it an automatic that he shows up at Kimberly Stewart's house? Miley Cyrus for the cockblock! Miley Cyrus + Harry Styles. RIGHT, motherf-ckers?!? Check Miley and Harry backstage at Teen Choice last night. That, right there, is Great Gossip waiting to happen…no matter the age group. Full Story
One year ago today...
It was the second Thursday of Cannes. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were at a party. The paps shot them from across the street -- rare photos of the two of them kissing and loving. With video! It was very romance, per Borat Sagdiyev. Three weeks ago, when I was planning our Cannes coverage, I had this day marked as an anniversary celebration for Twi-Hards. Full Story
Rachel and Bradley...but what about Jakey!?
LIFE & STYLE is reporting that Rachel McAdams and Bradley Cooper had a very tactile brunch ten days ago and that must mean they're dating now because their source says they "seemed like a couple". It's LIFE & STYLE. Full Story
Oh my beauty
Wenn, FameFlynet, Splash, Cindy Ord/ Getty
My beauty, my beauty, my beauty… My great love, our great love, Winona Ryder. You're right, Alexis. At 41 now, it's the best she's looked in years. And thank you for your email. Winona's been on a good streak for a while now. Click here Full Story
Rachel & Michael: over
Kevin Winter/ GABRIEL BOUYS/ Getty

The program shows the connection between careers and academics, allowing students to learn by "shadowing" experts in the workforce. A press release from the chamber stated that it also establishes "community partnerships between schools and businesses that enhance the educational experience of all students and introduces students to the requirements of professions and industries to help them prepare to join the workforce."
"It was just a great day for everybody out there. I would really like to thank the business community, the great partnership we have with the Walker County Center of Technology, Bevill State, and the city and county schools," Lewis said. "This year we were able to place more students in the workforce than we've ever done. That's always been our intentions and our goal, to get as many students in the workforce where those businesses could shadow those students for half a day. We were very excited; it was an outstanding day."
Students visited numerous area businesses, companies and departments, including the Jasper police and fire departments, Bevill State Community College in Sumiton and even the Daily Mountain Eagle, just to name a few out of the more than 50 that participated.
Patrolman Richard Blake Stockman and Sgt. Det. Chuck Henderson of the Jasper Police Department spoke with approximately 20 students from county and city schools Friday morning. The two displayed special gear and equipment officers use on a daily basis. They also allowed students to try on new inmate uniforms and gave them a tour of the station.
"We're just trying to show the kids a little bit of what it's like to actually be a police officer and show them what the everyday jobs are, show them all the cool equipment we get to work with and things like that," Stockman said. "It really kind of shows the kids what police officers are really like instead of maybe the idea [stereotype] that they may get from other kids. It shows them what we deal with every day."
Cordova High School ninth grader Marianne Westbrook said law enforcement is something she might be interested in one day.
"It's different. It's cool to learn something new," Westbrook said. "Checking out the different jail cells" is what she enjoyed the most about her experience Friday.
Arriving at Jasper's downtown fire station, teenagers watched as firefighters demonstrated the proper way to handle a hose and operate different equipment within the station and on the fire trucks.
Capt. David Lockhart, who has more than 17 years of experience with the Jasper Fire Department, said the job shadowing program is very beneficial for students in the area because it gives them an idea of what's out there in the workforce.
"We do this every year for the schools. We have the kids come down from the schools, and we show them a little bit of what we do on a daily basis. We tell them about what we have to do to go to school to be a firefighter," Lockhart said. "We let them try on some of our equipment; we show them the equipment on the trucks and how we use it. We just try to convince them if they haven't got a career of what they're wanting to do, that the fire service is something they may want to look at doing.
"We've got 27 [kids] today, and I think we got at least one from every school in Walker County," he continued. "At this age, you're talking about a ninth grader, most of them don't know what they're wanting to do anyway, so it gives them a chance to look at something different. If they're going to college, if they're not going to college, the fire service is available both ways."
Kolby Russell of Cordova said being a firefighter is what he plans to become later in life.
"Yes, I actually am interested in this career. It is what I intend to do," Russell said. "We got to look at the trucks, their course out back, watch them put on the gear, and watch them pull a hose and all that."
However, battling fires isn't for everyone.
Carbon Hill ninth grader Courtney Ciccone said she didn't want to be a firefighter because "I'm not into fire," but she did enjoy spending time with friends and watching them put on their fire uniforms.
While some of the students' job choices were matched perfectly, others either showed an interest in the profession or were at least enlightened about a particular career that they didn't have an interest in until their first, hands-on experience Friday.
Jodi Ann Martin, a ninth-grade student at Walker High School said, "It was fun. I got to try something different instead of being at school. I think it was fun asking different people questions and finding out what they're interested in," Martin said about her day at the Daily Mountain Eagle. "It's good for people to get an idea, like 'I don't want to do that anymore, or yeah, I definitely want to do this.'"
Cordova ninth grader Cody Williams is more interested in music, but his experience in reporting Friday gave him a better idea of what a job in journalism is like.
"It was a lot more fun than I expected. I've never really been into the whole reporting thing, but I enjoyed myself," Williams said. "Sometimes I feel like they're getting up in people's business, but it's not like that at all. I was wrong.
"I think it would be pretty fun to be a reporter," Williams continued. "I was basically trying a new thing no matter what. I think it was a pretty good idea to let kids try new things and figure out other things that they'd want to do."
Lewis said it is a challenge at times to match students with a certain business or field of interest, but by being out in the workforce it allows them to see first-hand what it's like to be a professional for half a day.
"When those students get to go out in the workforce and they get to shadow for half a day, it shows them basic business principles — how you need to come to work dressed, what you need to be prepared for, needing to be there on time. It teaches them not only a little bit about the field they want to go into, but just basic business principles too," Lewis said. "It is a true partnership when you have over 900 students to place in the workforce and to have those students go out and have community leaders being their mentor for half a day. That says volumes for our community."

Drunken Christmas Day rant lands man in court
Updated 9:58am Thursday 23rd January 2014 in News
A drunken rant directed towards police officers landed a man in court.
Jonathan Wray, 43, was "extremely embarrassed" about his behaviour towards officers as they left Cross Hills Police Station, near Keighley, on Christmas Day, Skipton magistrates heard.
The court was told he had been drinking and after a family row ended up outside the station, where he had been abusive and used hand gestures towards officers.
Wray, of Wensleydale Avenue, Skipton, was given a six-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay costs of £85 and a victims surcharge of £15.
