text: For all of the progress Americans have made in recent decades to include people with disabilities as full participants in their communities, pervasive unemployment and Foreword underemployment continue to serve as major impediments to the self-sufficiency, independence, and quality of life sought by the approximately 50 million Americans who are living with disabilities. Since World War II, the labor market activity rate of 1/3 for working-age adults with disabilities has remained stable, even in the face of enormous economic expansion and significant developments in vocational rehabilitation practice, assistive technology, and legislation protecting the rights of workers with disabili- ties. Certainly, no initiative to promote employment opportunities and equal access to the workplace for people with disabilities has been more important than the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Title I of the ADA requires employers in both the private and public sectors to uphold the civil rights of qualified workers with disabilities, both by prohibiting discriminatory conduct and requiring reasonable accommoda- tions that enable people with disabilities to perform their jobs. The ADA was enacted in 1990 and took full effect in 1994, and its landmark employment provisions have brought important attention to the job acquisition, performance, and retention issues that confront people with disabilities in the new American workplace. That said, 12 years of effectuation have not provided enough time for the ADA to achieve it's ambitious and noble purpose of eliminating discrimination. During these early stages of ADA implementa- tion, the law has had the effect of bringing to light discriminatory conduct on the part of employers rather than reducing the incidence of discriminatory conduct. The latter objective could be generations in coming; sweeping social change is a slow process, but there is no doubt that the ADA has pointed us in the right direction. The ADA has brought important public attention to the issue of workplace discrimination, and discrimina- tion seems to be a unifying feature of the employment experience for Americans with disabilities. As many as 75 percent of workers with disabilities nationwide report that they have encountered some form of discrimination in the workplace, and all stakeholders in the employment of people with disabilities have a vested interest in understanding more thoroughly the phenomenon of workplace discrimination. Enter the National Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ADA Research Project, the most ambi- tious effort to date to identify and understand the employment discrimination experiences of Americans with disabilities. With access to the universe of Title I allegations collected by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission since the ADA took initial effect in 1992, this Project has produced compelling insights into the characteristics of charging parties (i.e., people with disabilities) and respondents (i.e., employers), the types of discrimination alleged to occur, and the outcomes of the ADA Title I investigatory process. By comparing the employment discrimination experiences of subpopulations of people with disabilities from the vantage point of the EEOC's Integrated Mission System database, Dr. Brian McMahon and his colleagues have identified patterns of discrimination that are differentiated most strikingly by disability type. In this monograph, Project team members describe, compare, and contrast the employment discrimination experiences of people with HIV/AIDS, mental retardation, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, deafness and hearing impairments, speech impairments, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, missing limbs, and disfigurement. Taken in aggregate, these investigations provide critical, population-level data that can be used to inform direct service, advocacy, employer education, and professional training efforts. The intent is to redress, prevent, and ultimately eliminate workplace discrimi- nation on the basis of disability. In that regard, this monograph represents several more steps in the right direction, several more steps toward realizing the true spirit and intent of the Americans with Disabilities Act. CHAPTER 1 An Overview of the National EEOC ADA Research Project Brian T. McMahon Abstract This overview is intended to outline the development and scope of the National EEOC ADA Re- search Project which resulted from a cooperative agreement between the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Virginia Commonwealth University. Research questions, the EEOC database, extraction of study data, limitations of the data, the organization of research teams, and some preliminary studies conducted by Project investigators are described. Introduction Fifteen years after the enactment date of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA. PL 101-336), there has been considerable progress with respect to both employment rights and public access. Most observers agree that public access has improved more rapidly, in part because of the commercial benefits realized by improving places of public accommodation. [1,2,4] However, the most important indicator of employment success—the labor force participation rate for Americans with disabilities—continues to hover around 32% (vs. 81% for people without disabili- ties. [3] Policy makers point out that ADA Title One (the employment provisions) in and of itself would not remedy the situation completely, and certainly not quickly. Other barriers contribute to the low rate of labor force participation including financial disincentives to work, the uneven availability of healthcare across employers, an unstable economy, the outsourcing of jobs, the lagging performance of our special education system, and fluctuations in the rate of unemploy- ment. Moreover, in spite of new technologies, disability does affect ability and does compromise both the employability and place ability of many Americans. [3] ADA Title One itself was a unique civil rights law. Its character is anti-discrimination, and not affirmative action. Its immediate purpose is to combat and minimize workplace discrimination against Americans with disabilities. In simple terms, ADA Title One requires that all personnel actions be unrelated to the existence of consequence of disability. Research Questions The researchers who contributed to the studies in this monograph seek answers to a particular set of questions to shed light on one barrier to the labor free participation gap. These questions included the following: 1 Are there discrete organizational behaviors that in the aggregate constitute workplace discrimination? What is the specific nature and scope of workplace discrimination against Americans with disabilities? Does workplace discrimination affect Americans with disabilities in different ways as a function of personal characteristics such as type of impairment, gender, age, race or ethnicity? To the extent that employers perpetrate workplace discrimination, does it vary as a function of the employer's industry, location, or size? When Americans with disabilities file allegations of workplace discrimination, what proportion of these has merit, and what proportion lacks merit at the conclusion of a complete investigation? Does the resolution of allegations vary as a function of either complainant or employer characteristics? For rehabilitation and business professionals who appreciate the importance of the vocational life area, these are important questions. But what data exists that might even begin to shed light? Enter the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which exists to enforce certain federal laws prohibiting job discrimination. These include: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; The Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA), which protects men and women who perform substantially equal work in the same establishment from sex-based wage discrimination; The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), which protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older; Sections 501 and 505 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 , which prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities who work in the federal government; The Civil Rights Act of 1991 , which, among other things, provides monetary damages in cases of inten- tional employment discrimination; and Title I and Title V of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), which prohibit employment dis- crimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in the private sector, and in state and local governments. EEOC also provides oversight and coordination of all federal equal employment opportunity regulations, practices, and policies. The EEOC Database EEOC maintains an information system, known as the Integrated Mission System (IMS), which is used to track the filing, investigation, and resolution of all allegations of workplace discrimination under these federal statutes. The IMS contains solid information that provides a definitive way for researchers to begin to answer the questions posed above. Indeed, since July 26, 1992, the first effective date of ADA, over 600,000 allegations have been filed with the EEOC under ADA Title One. Under an Interagency Personnel Agreement (IPA) involving the EEOC, Professor Brian T. McMahon, and Virginia Commonwealth University, a nationwide project was begun in 2003 to utilize the IMS for research purposes in order to provide evidence-based answers to the questions above. Dr. McMahon and VCU colleagues proceeded to extract and refine IMS in order to retrieve, verify, and examine closed ADA allegations. An informal network of 25 research volunteers was organized to form the National EEOC ADA Research Project. The articles that follow are products of an intense data mining effort in the Project's first two years. Some Project team members utilize IMS data to create disability-specific and industry-specific profiles of employment discrimina- tion. Others seek to explore the interface of disability with gender, age, or ethnic status. Still others are using the data to validate (or not) extant theories of stigma, to predict investigatory outcomes, or to better understand discrete 2 Chapter 1 discriminatory behaviors such as disability harassment, failure to accommodate, or un- lawful discharge. One would be hard pressed to find a richer source of data that will, if carefully handled, advance our understanding of this substantial impediment to vocational restoration - - work- place discrimination. Limitations of the Dataset Like most large databases, the IMS is not a panacea for rehabilitation researchers. In consultation with EEOC, the researchers arrived at criteria for the extraction of allegations into various "study datasets." By intent, these criteria favor a consistent and complete investigatory process over a larger number of allegations. Specifically, the extraction process deletes all files that do not involve direct discrimination against Americans who are disabled at the time of the alleged incident. Thus, allegations that involve retaliation, record of disability, regarded as disabled, or associate of persons with disabilities are being studied in the first phase. Also excluded are allegations that contain errors or are currently unresolved, as well as those whose merit is determined by an agency other than the EEOC; e.g., Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, civil courts or state fair employment practices agencies. To be sure, these allegations can be studied at a later date, but in the early going the researchers are interested in clarity, consistency, and parsimony. The remaining study dataset for the current projects is still quite rich, with 328,738 resolved allegations - - every reported allegation that meets the selection criteria from the Title I effective date through September 30, 2003. Project team members are mindful that many if not most incidents of workplace discrimination go unreported. As with most civil or criminal offenses, it is not possible at this time to determine the prevalence of unreported discrimination. Other fields in the dataset are deleted in the interest of confidentiality. Federal law requires that identifiers of either a complainant, known as a Charging Party, or an employer, known as a Respon- dent, must be protected. Accordingly, fields that may lead to identification (such as name, specific industry, address or even state) were purged from the study dataset within weeks of the Project. The VCU IRB has reviewed all data extraction procedures, methods, and analytic techniques and all manuscripts have been reviewed by EEOC prior to publication. To date, no substantive changes to content have ever been requested by EEOC. These extraction criteria have direct implications for the conduct and applicability of the research itself. Although the study dataset is a subset of the larger universe of workplace discrimination involving Americans with disabilities, it does include the entire population of interest for this Project. Accordingly, population statistics are common through the project as opposed to inferential techniques. Additionally, Project investigators are cautious to avoid generalization of these findings beyond the individuals and employers that are actually represented in the dataset. Our findings are descriptive of these and only these allegations, and the Charging Parties and Respondents from whom they are derived. After an introductory training session, Project investigators are free to form their own research teams, formulate their own research questions, pursue their own research funds, request data extractions specific to their target issue and comparison groups, choose and apply their own research designs and statistical techniques, and interpret their own findings. The selection of specific study topics is coordi- nated by Dr. McMahon to avoid duplication of effort. Investigators freely exchange ideas regarding research questions, funding sources, literature, methods, and findings. As a result of this dialogue, preferred approaches emerge in terms of design and statistics, and a measure of redundancy may occur from one article to the next. However, each article must "stand alone" because of dissemination needs that are unique to particular funding sources, consumer organizations, or industry groups. In consideration of this reality, the reader's indulgence is requested. 3 Common Tables and Phase One Topics To conserve the reader's time and the publisher's space, a number of Tables follow this Preface. These provide an explanation of terms and codes that are common usage in EEOC investigations. These include: Frequency distribution of allegations in the largest comparison group, known as GENDIS, by impairment (Table 1). GENDIS includes all allegations in which a known physical, sensory, or neurological impairment is involved. Two articles in this issue have utilized subsets of GENDIS as comparison groups, specifically those focused upon missing limbs and disfigurement. Definitions of the unique discriminatory behaviors that are tracked (Table 2). Types of closures or resolutions that may conclude an EEOC investigation (Table 3). Readers are cautioned that unless specific references are made to merit resolutions, the investigator is dealing with allegations of discrimination, which the researchers regard as a perception of discrimination rather than an actual occurrence. Parameters of the Charging Party variable of race/ethnicity (Table 4). Parameters of Respondent variables of employer size and industry (Table 5). Parameters of the Respondent variable location by region (Table 6). These tables are referred to repeatedly in most of the manuscripts that follow, and in the aggregate they constitute a useful glossary for the reader as well as a "big picture" with respect to scope of discrimination and the potential of the IMS database. Regarding reprint selection, only the disability-specific profiles are reprinted in this monograph. The intent is to describe the unique aspects of workplace discrimination in specific populations when compared to a general population of physical or sensory impairments. These specific conditions include HIV/AIDS, mental retardation, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, deafness/hearing impairment, speech impairment, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury. Sometimes a smaller and more relevant comparison group was utilized, as in the articles concerning missing limbs and disfigurement. The number of complete resolutions in the IMS grows by approximately 5% each year. Participants in the Project remain convinced that these modest beginnings represent but the tip of the iceberg in our efforts to better under- stand the full nature, scope, and impact of workplace discrimination in America. Acknowledgements Gratitude is extended to Dr. Ronald Edwards of the EEOC Office of Research, Information and Planning for his total commitment, support, and technical assistance in the Project. Linda R. Shaw, Associate Professor at the University of Florida, is Co-Director of the Project. Dr. Mehdi Mansouri, of Herzing University in Milwaukee, was essential to the Project for his tireless refinement and nurturance of the dataset. The National Institute of Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) deserves a full measure of thanks for providing funds for the first study, regarding diabetes, in the form of a Mary Switzer Distinguished Research Fellowship for Dr. McMahon. NIDRR and the Multiple Sclerosis Society deserve additional appreciation for their ongoing support of our work. IOS Press de- serves special mention because each of these studies originally appeared in one of two of their premiere journals: WORK: A Journal of Prevention, Assessment, and Rehabilitation, 25(1) 2005.

Ever since the UFC added the women's bantamweight division to its roster, bouts featuring women have trickled onto upcoming fight cards. The latest features Julie Kedzie vs. Germaine de Randamie.
FoxSports.com first reported the bout, which was later confirmed by UFC officials.
Kedzie vs. de Randamie will take place on the UFC on Fox 8 fight card slated for July 27 in Seattle.
Kedzie (16-11) is popular among fans, but perhaps more so than many of the other women debuting in the Octagon, needs to make an immediate impression. She lost both of her Strikeforce bouts – to Miesha Tate and Alexis Davis – before making the move with many of the other 135-pound Strikeforce women to the UFC.
More MMA
A former kickboxing world champion, de Randamie (3-2) went 2-1 during her Strikeforce tenure. The fight with Kedzie marks her return to 135 pounds after fighting at 145 in her last two bouts.
The UFC on Fox 8 event takes place at the KeyArena in Seattle, but has yet to land a main event. UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson, feverishly working to return from injury, has been lobbying for the main event as he currently fights out of neighboring Kirkland, Wash.

If the women are so good, make an all women PPV! Let the fans judge with their money.
They did you retard! The draw for the Rousey fight exploded because of her!
Ummm that wasnt a all women ppv it just a main event. Pretty sure he means a ppv where every fight is a womans fight like the all heavyweight card awhile back
The already have an all women's events called Invicta FC, They seem to be making plenty of money there.
Source of your statement or GTFO.
There have only been TWO WMMA fights in the UFC. Cowards hide behind guest user names. As for Other… No one in the main stream has ever heard of Invicta. Nobody! My point is simple, you could put a full card of WMMA titles in one PPV(I know there is only one right now) and it won't sell like the men.
Really like Julie. Hope she does well.
I agree. She was whooping Meisha Tate's ass til she got caught in that submission. She still has some great fights to give.
Julie had Big Nose tate beaten but gassed out. tate probalby stole all the air around Julie with that huge nose of hers?
julie needs to take it to the ground, she cannot hang with de Randamie in the stand up.
Just rank Meisha's Tate's nose

Pyrography or pyrogravure is the art of decorating wood or other materials with burn marks resulting from the controlled application of a heated object such as a poker. It is also known as pokerwork or wood burning.
The term means "writing with fire", from the Greek pur (fire) and graphos (writing).[1] It can be practiced using specialized modern pyrography tools, or using a metal implement heated in a fire, or even sunlight concentrated with a magnifying lens.
A large range of tones and shades can be achieved. Varying the type of tip used, the temperature, or the way the iron is applied to the material all create different effects. After the design is burned in, wooden objects are often coloured. Light-coloured hardwoods such as sycamore, basswood, beech and birch are most commonly used, as their fine grain is not obtrusive. However, other woods, such as pine or oak, are also used. Pyrography is also applied to leather items, using the same hot-iron technique. Leather lends itself to bold designs, and also allows very subtle shading to be achieved. Specialist vegetable-tanned leather must be used for pyrography (as modern tanning methods leave chemicals in the leather which are toxic when burned), typically in light colours for good contrast.
Pyrography is also popular among gourd crafters and artists, where designs are burned onto the exterior of a dried hard-shell gourd, usually with dramatic results[citation needed].
The process has been practiced by a number of cultures including the South America.
Traditional pyrography can be performed using any heated metal implement. Modern pyrography machines exist, and can be divided into two main categories.
Solid-point burners are similar in design to a soldering iron. They have a solid brass tip which is heated by an electrical element, and operate at a fixed temperature.
Wire-nib burners have variable temperature controls. The writing nib is heated by an electrical current passing directly through it. Some models have interchangeable nibs to allow for different effects.[6]

December 2012 Coupon Code Update
- Posted in Food Safety Supplies
- 0 Comments
By Steven Ziegler
This time of the year, we have many people coming to our site for fun stuff. You know what I'm talking about...all those foodie gifts, like Kitchenaid mixers, Zip Zesters, and turkey fryers. But even though we are selling tons of gadgets right now, it doesn't change the fact that we want to be your vendor of choice for all of your regular, much-less-fun, supplies.
Which brings me to this month's coupon code for Noble Gloves. We are proud to say that our gloves are really boring. Why would I say that? Well, because I have been selling food service supplies for over 20 years, and I've sold lots of gloves. When gloves are good they are boring. They are not boring when they rip all of the time, when they stick together, when they smell of strange chemicals, when they make your hands red and swollen, or when you have to pay a high price just to get a decent product. Bad gloves are exciting, but in a bad way. Our gloves are everything you want: inexpensive, tough, well-made, come in multiple sizes, and made from different materials, with and without powder. And this month, they are even cheaper with our coupon code! If you haven't tried them, now is the time. If you have been buying them, now is the time to stock up.
Our December 2012 Coupon Code: Get 10% off cases Noble Gloves with the code: NOBLE10
Links: Noble Latex Gloves Noble Vinyl Gloves
We also have a $200 WEBucks Gift Certificate Giveaway in December, Details: $200 December Giveaway

The Kitchen House
Find this book in our catalog.
When a white servant girl violates the order of plantation society, she unleashes a tragedy that exposes the worst and best in the people she has come to call her family.
Orphaned while onboard ship from Ireland, seven-year-old Lavinia arrives on the steps of a tobacco plantation where she is to live and work with the slaves of the kitchen house. Under the care of Belle, the master's illegitimate daughter, Lavinia becomes deeply bonded to her adopted family, though she is set apart from them by her white skin. Eventually, Lavinia is accepted into the world of the big house, where the master is absent and the mistress battles opium addiction. Lavinia finds herself perilously straddling two very different worlds. When she is forced to make a choice, loyalties are brought into question, dangerous truths are laid bare, and lives are put at risk.
The Kitchen House is a tragic story of page-turning suspense, exploring the meaning of family, where love and loyalty prevail.

'Bullhorn' diplomacy won't free Canadian journalist in Egypt, says Baird
OTTAWA - "Bullhorn diplomacy" won't win the release of Egyptian-Canadian Mohamed Fahmy, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said Tuesday in a pointed rebuttal to critics of his government's response to the imprisonment of the Al-Jazeera journalist.
Canada is pursuing all legal avenues to secure the release of Fahmy, the minister told Ottawa radio station CFRA.

The government is working hard to have Fahmy freed on appeal, or through a possible presidential pardon, Baird said.
"We want a successful resolution and I guess either way, critics of the government can win because if we're loud and vocal, we're practising bullhorn diplomacy and are not being professional," Baird said.
"But if we try to take the case directly to the leadership, we're accused of not standing up. I think you want to pursue the path that would be the most effective to resolving the case."
The terrorism charges and sentences against Fahmy, Australian Peter Greste and Egyptian Baher Mohamed have been widely condemned as bogus.
The seven-year sentences have been the subject of vocal condemnation by Australian and U.S. politicians, but some critics say the Harper government has been too muted in its response.
Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said Tuesday he will not interfere in the rulings and said people should stop criticizing his country's courts.
Fahmy's family, the federal New Democrats and Canadian Journalists for Free Expression have all urged Prime Minister Stephen Harper to call the Egyptian president personally.
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau joined the fray Tuesday when he tweeted: "The Canadian government must speak out vigorously in defence of Canadians who are victims of a travesty of justice."
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott called el-Sissi to proclaim the innocence of the Australian journalist, while the country's foreign minister, Julia Bishop, said she was appalled by the severity of the verdict.
"I'll note that the Australian hasn't been released either," Baird said Tuesday.
Baird defended his junior minister, Lynne Yelich, who is responsible for consular affairs. Her widely criticized news release Monday merely said she was very disappointed with the sentence.
Yelich works hard and does a good job, Baird said, while his role as foreign minister is to make representations to his Egyptian counterpart, which he did on a visit to Cairo two months ago.
"We have many cases in Egypt of Canadians that are before the courts," Baird said without elaborating.
"When I met with the Egyptian foreign minister and had a long discussion of this case, they can't issue a presidential pardon unless there's a verdict, and until the appeals are exhausted, so obviously we're going to stay engaged with this file, with this case," Baird said.
Baird also confirmed that he and his deputy minister called in Egypt's ambassador on Monday and issued a formal diplomatic protest.
Employment Minister Jason Kenney told The Canadian Press in a separate interview Tuesday that taking a less vocal approach helped to free two other Canadians held in an Egyptian prison last year.
"We've been very outspoken and active on those cases," said Kenney.
"And sometimes, when you're dealing with a foreign government, experience teaches us that working directly with the relevant authorities is more effective than getting on a blowhorn."
Baird said Fahmy's case is complicated by the fact that he is a dual Egyptian and Canadian national, and also by the intertwined relationship between Al-Jazeera, its Qatari ownership and Egypt's banned Muslim Brotherhood.
Fahmy and his two co-accused were convicted of giving a voice to the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, which Egypt has labelled a terrorist group. They were accused of harming Egypt's national security.
The journalists deny the charges, and say they were only doing their jobs.
"One of the challenges of this case is that Al-Jazeera is, of course, funded by the government of Qatar, who is also directly funding the Muslim Brotherhood, and that's what makes this case more complex and adds a different dimension to it," said Baird.
He added: "I don't think anyone believes he's in cahoots with the Muslim Brotherhood, but obviously the government of Qatar had a close relationship."

Those two little dots that get placed over vowels are known either as umlauts or diaereses. They're used to indicate that the vowel is pronounced in an unusual way, and sometimes they're used in people's names because they're foreign. Or pretentious. (Just ask Ana�s Nin or Chlo� Sevigny.) Puzzle guru Art Chung leads this final round full of double-dotted words.
