Maternity pay is not a certainty
Legal Notes
PREGNANCY is supposed to be one of the happiest times in a woman's life. Very often, however, the good news of a pregnancy is accompanied by feelings of worry about the expenses associated with it. Some women also worry about the effect a pregnancy can have on their job security. Fortunately, The Maternity Leave Act (the Act) addresses a woman's right and entitlement to maternity leave as well as to pay while on maternity leave.
Employers are generally obliged to grant maternity leave where a woman has been continuously employed for at least one year at the time she proceeds on leave, has expressed an intention to return to work with the employer at the end of her maternity leave, and where requested, has provided a medical report on her pregnancy. In some countries, such as Canada, legislation has been enacted that speaks to parental leave as opposed to maternity leave, as both the father and mother are entitled to take time off work when having or adopting a baby. Unfortunately, our legislation has not yet evolved to embrace this concept, as a "worker" is clearly defined under the Act as meaning an individual of the female sex.
The minimum period for maternity leave as provided for in the Act is 12 weeks. This period may be extended by an additional 14 weeks if a woman develops an illness as a result of pregnancy or based on the state of the child's health. Many women believe that they are required by law to wait until their baby is born to go on maternity leave. This is in fact not the case. A pregnant worker may proceed on maternity leave from as early as 11 weeks prior to her due date. A woman will also be entitled to maternity leave after a late-stage miscarriage.
The Act requires employers to provide "maternity pay" for the first eight weeks of maternity leave, however, some employers opt to make maternity payments for the full 12-week period. The Act details how the period of continuous employment should be determined and how maternity pay should be computed. Surprisingly, there are still countries in which employers are not mandated to provide paid maternity leave. As such, we can be grateful that our legislators at least appreciated the importance of ensuring that mothers are not entirely deprived of income while on maternity leave.
There are, however, circumstances in which an employer will not be obliged to make maternity payments. For example, where a woman fails to provide a medical certificate requested by her employer, it may negate the employer's obligation to give paid maternity leave. Similarly, if a woman neglects to inform her employer of her expected date of delivery at least two weeks before the date (or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable), she may find herself without maternity pay. Further, if a woman has taken paid maternity leave on three previous occasions during the course of her employment with a single employer, she will not be entitled to maternity pay with her fourth and subsequent pregnancies. In each of the situations, the employer will nonetheless be required to grant the full period of maternity leave, albeit without pay.
It is important to emphasise that nothing in the Act prevents an employer from offering maternity leave for a longer duration than that required by statute or from granting maternity pay in excess of what is provided for under the Act. In fact, there are a few companies in Jamaica that also grant paternity leave.
The Act also seeks to alleviate the concern that some women have that their employer will terminate their employment while they are on maternity leave. The Act gives women the right to return to work with the employer who granted the leave (or where there has been a change in ownership, the employer's successor) in the same capacity and place in which she was employed, to do work of the same nature and on the same terms and conditions as regards seniority, pension and similar rights.
If it is not practical by reason of redundancy for an employer to permit a woman to return to her previous position, the Act requires the employer, where there is suitable and available vacancy to grant alternative employment, even with a successor/associated company if necessary. The terms and conditions of employment must not be less favourable than those which existed at the time the maternity leave was approved.
The Act also prescribes a formula for the calculation of the sums that should be paid to a woman who ultimately cannot return to work because her position has been made redundant. She will be treated for the purposes of the Employment (Termination and Redundancy Payments) Act and as having been continuously employed by her employer until the notified day of return, and as if her employment had been terminated by her employer by reason of redundancy and without notice on the notified day of return.
Employers should be mindful of the sanctions set out in the Act for failure to comply with its provisions. If an employer fails to grant maternity leave to a woman entitled to same, provide maternity pay in accordance with the Act, allow a woman to return to work after maternity leave and/or terminates a contract of employment for reason of pregnancy, the employer commits an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $100,000 and in default to imprisonment. The wronged employee may also seek redress via the Ministry of Labour and/or initiate a claim against the employer.

TBS comedy's star Brian Austin Green unleashes a secret weapon -- his wife
On one hand, you feel bad for Brian Austin Green because people use him to get to his wife, Megan Fox.
Apparently, this includes the producers on his current show, TBS' "Wedding Band," where Fox will guest star on this week's episode. Green, 39, and Fox, 26, have been wed for two years and have a son.
Bing: More on 'Wedding Band' | Megan Fox | Brian Austin Green
On the other hand, Green, aka the not-so-notorious B.A.G., gets to be married to one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, so public sympathy only goes so far. Fox's appearance will mark the first time the pair has worked together on screen.
Plus: TV's dream jobs and coworkers | Dead shows we wish could return
In the installment, Tommy (Green) and his band, Mother of the Bride, land a Comic-Con wedding gig and it is there that he meets his new love interest, Alexa (Fox). Unbeknownst to Tommy, Alexa is the star of a wildly popular sci-fi series and things get chaotic rather quickly.
"Wedding Band" debuted last week to lackluster reviews and decent ratings, but Fox may be element the comedy needs to turn things around.
Here's a clip:
"Wedding Band" airs Saturdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on TBS.

Geek alert: 'Mythbusters' hosts lend their voices in this special episode
MSN TV has this exclusive image of "Mythbusters" hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman as members of the Empire:
Creators and executive producers Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh expressed their excitement about adding Savage and Hyneman to the cast: "We've been wanting to do something with them for ages, because they are the living adult versions of Phineas and Ferb in the real world. We ran into them at Comic-Con last year and knew that they worked on the original 'Star Wars', so when this opportunity came up we asked if they could come voice a few characters for us. It was really cool for us; we're hoping it was cool for them."
It's definitely cool for us!

On which of the new twists will have the most impact on Houseguest survival week after week:
Julie Chen: "I think "Battle of the Block" will have the most impact on a Houseguest's ability to survive. First, those competing in it will literally be fighting for their lives in the game. Second, it will get one of the HOHs (Head of Households) into BIG trouble. Let's just say that if I were HOH, I would nominate two weak players."

On her most memorable "Big Brother" interview:
"One of my memorable Big Brother interviews was last year with Aaryn. I had to check my feelings and ego at the door and set aside any personal bad feelings I had for her ugly comments. I had to do my job and be fair and straight despite how personally offended I was. It wasn't easy, but it was memorable."

Calories (kcal) are the units used to measure the amount of energy in foods and drinks.
Our bodies need energy to function - everything we do, from breathing to being active, requires energy.
We get energy from the foods and drinks we consume. But if we eat and drink more energy than we need, our bodies tend to store the extra energy as fat.
This is important because, after choosing not to smoke, staying in shape is the most important way we can reduce our risk of cancer.
Being a healthy shape and weight can also help to reduce the risk of other diseases like heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.
On average, women need roughly 2,000 calories a day and men need roughly 2,500.
Younger people and people who are very physically active may need more calories, and people who are older or less physically active may need less.
Regularly eating or drinking too many calories can lead to weight gain; in fact, having just an extra 100 calories a day can lead to a weight gain of 5kg (11lb) a year! Here are some examples of the calories in different foods and drinks:

Shirley mum builds orphanage in memory of South Norwood son who committed suicide
6:00am Sunday 10th February 2013 in Local news By Chris Baynes, Reporter
A mum is building an orphanage in a poverty-stricken region of South America after being inspired by the tragic death of her son.
Debra Rostron, aged 53, of Shirley, has ploughed £25,000 into the construction of a children's home in Parika, Guyana, that she hopes will help disadvantaged youngsters avoid the same fate as her son Jamie Prahalad.
Jamie, who was raised in South Norwood, killed himself aged 25 in September 2007 after years of battling depression.
Debra was born in Guyana, which has one of the world's highest suicide rates, and moved to London aged 17.
She visited her homeland with Jamie in March 2007 to look for a site for the orphanage, which she hoped would help struggling families.
Mrs Rostron said: "I was a single mother holding done a full-time job and taking care of Jamie at the same time, really battling to get help for him. I struggled for about six years with him and I had family support and my own house, so if I thought I was having difficulties looking after this child, how do people who are less fortunate than myself cope?"
The pair found a three-acre plot of land suitable for their plans, but Jamie committed suicide just six months later.
Mrs Rostron said: "He just could not fight any longer. But I decided I was not going to let what happened stop me from doing what I had already started."
"The building will be called Jamie's Home, because even though I lost him something positive will be left behind that means his life was not in vain or was wasted. Some child is going to benefit from his life."
Mrs Rostron has planning permission for five homes to house 40 children and hopes to open to first later this year with the help of her husband Chad, 61.
They have built the first home over five years, funding the project with their own savings, donations from friends and by holding barbecues, raffles and cake sales.
The pair, who met working in St George's Hospital's opthalmology department, raised £3,500 by requesting donations instead of gifts for their wedding in 2011.
Mrs Rostron said: "I really want to just take a child and turn their life around. Who is to say that the circumstances of your birth should dictate your whole life?"

Why Penalties Don't Matter
Our friend Year2 takes a look. I can confirm that I've never found any sort of correlation between overall performance and the frequency (or lack thereof) of penalties. They can certainly hurt you in a single game, but over the course of a season, not so much.

ESPN has learned that Michigan coach Lloyd Carr will hold a 10 a.m. press conference on Monday at which time he is expected to announce his retirement.
Carr led many to believe he would retire after this season when he altered his contract last winter and made sure all of his assistants were given unprecedented, two-year deals in the spring. Speculation has run rampant about 62-year-old coach's future.
"There will be a day to discuss that, and this isn't it," he said Saturday.
Police in Baton Rouge have been put on alert not to allow Les Miles to leave the city limits, and phone and internet service to his house and office have been cut off.
Terrible, terrible year for Aggies to be looking for a new Head Coach.

Talks over deepening the Savannah Harbor continue in Washington. U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson visited the Georgia Ports Authority on Wednesday.
Isakson said this is the year everything should get done with the deepening of the Savannah Harbor. He told the crowd they have asked President Barack Obama to put money in the budget for the project.
Isakson said they are working out all the details so the port can be up and running by the time the Panama Canal expansion is complete.
"This is the second largest port and what that means is this is good for Georgia business - for American business. It means we are selling American products to customers overseas," he said. "It's good for our balance of payment. It's good for our economy. It's good for the country, and I want to see to it."
He said things are heading in the right direction with the project.

Will you be dressing up your dog or cat for Halloween?
I used to dress up my dog, when my kids were young, and then take them trick or treating with us in the neighborhood. It got to be that my neighbors would look forward to seeing what the dog was going to be for Halloween as much as seeing what the kids were dressed as!

This is a very good idea indeed. I think Freemangordon understands certman very well. On the other hand, I don't know if this would be useful to how many other people, but judging from the bugs that were previously opened against this, I am sure it would help at least 50% current N900 users.

Daemon EAPD using certman for certificate verification. Both certman libraries and certman control panel applet are open source, so it could be possible to add option to certman for accepting specific certificate (even if expired/broken/etc...). And this could fix your problem. But I do not know certman codebase... 2014-02-12 20:19 GMT+01:00 Sicelo <absicsz< at >gmail.com>:

I finally did get wpa_supplicant to connect to the enterprise network at work. Unfortunately, the connections UI fails completely. I have found that there really is a problem with the certificates the work network uses, but unfortunately, the Admins won't hear it (because other devices can connect). On my FreeRadius network, now the UI connects properly everytime, after I had generated proper self-signed certificates. In any case, I am starting to think EAPD is not doing anything wrong per se. Only thing missing is an option to skip certificate verification. Pity this can't be hacked in somewhere. GConf would have been the perfect place for such tweak.

 Certificates valid, and no errors reported. Thanks for your help Pali. I can get wpa_supplicant to run, and it authenticates successfully now. However, it keeps re-authenticating, even though it has already been properly accepted. I guess this is an unrelated problem though.

I do not know if eapd daemon (that which doing EAP auth) writing something somewhere... check also cmdline arguments if there is not some debug flag/option. It is bad that nokias eapd sw is closed :-( No idea. I think that wpa_gui probably not working on n900 due to small qt screen, special hildon qt theme and other qt patches. You need to write your own wpa supplicant config file. Then stop wlancond and start wpa_supplicant manually (and then dhcp client...). In wpa supplicant use wext driver, because new nl does not working correctly on old 2.6.28 kernel. And how to write wpa supplicant config file, see man page for wpasupplicant.conf or use google...

 Yes, these are installed. Whether or not I have them, I still can't connect. This is the message from eapd: Feb 11 19:45:26 fremantle icd2 0.87+fremantle10+0m5[1312]: EAP: [9d4b057a-56a6-454f-852c-245c6ff30a55] authentication failed because EAP_FAILED received: EAP authentication failed (com.nokia.icd.error.wlan_authentication_failed) Would there be some gconf values to edit which could help here? Would you be able to show me how to do this with the built-in wifi adapter of the N900? I had previously installed wpa_gui, but could never get the card to show. I'm guessing something keeps it 'locked' always. I tried 'stop wlancond' and 'stop csd' and never got any luck.

2014-02-11 19:48 GMT+01:00 Sicelo <absicsz< at >gmail.com>: There was problem with self signed certificates and certificates which did not have stored CA in maemo certman. I do not remember if this was fixed or not. Try to check if both CA and certificate itself are installed in Settings --> Certificates. I do not have any problem with connecting to wifi WPA2 EAP TTLS+GTC or EAP PEAP+MSCHAPv2. Try to check also syslog, if nokias eapd daemon did not write any error message. Other option is to use wpa_supplicant (which is in extras-devel) and connect manually to wifi network like on any linux machine. I'm using wpa_supplicant for ethernet 802.1X authentification with usb ethernet card connected to n900 in usb host mode and there is no problem.

I need to connect to an enterprise network requiring the use of PEAP+MSCHAPv2. Clients do not need to have a certificate installed. Authentication is via domain username and password. I have tried all the options suggested on talk.maemo.org, and still no luck. Syslog always says 'eap authentication failed.' My username works perfectly on almost any other device. So I setup FreeRadius on my debian pc, and set my cheap AP for Radius authentication. N900 still can't connect to this. The FreeRadius log shows an issue with 'bad certificate' whether or not I have the provided certificates on device. Any ideas would help. I suppose someone has at least once got N900 to connect to such a network via FreeRadius.

But clean umount is still needed. Yes, reason why I'am using ext4. But lot of people have Fat32. Calling fsck before every mount is also already implemented in cssu-devel. This is reason why we need it.

An ext3/4 filesystem (with a journal!) is not "corrupted" when not cleanly unmounted. 4. I have disabled automatic mounting of the SD card via `/etc/default/osso-mmc-blacklist.sh` and run fsck before each mount (with a custom script).

 Because opening back cover on n900 automatically disconnect sd card slot (which means that kernel cannot flush buffers back to card), filesystem on sd card is always corrupted. So correct solution before opening back cover on n900 is to call sync and umount - to be sure that filesystem is consistent.

However, I experience filesystem corruption multiple times with that card in the N810. Also, the SanDisk 32GB works fine in *other* readers. Apparently, SD cards are inherently unreliable.

Maybe the N810 and N900 both have poor quality readers. Until now, I have been able to recover from problems with fsck and have assumed poor quality SD cards. But I have not had any card reader other than via the N810 or N900. Note that I always purchase cards of reputable brands from reputable sellers. In this case, SanDisk from Radio Shack (if Radio Shack can be considered reputable anymore).

 mmc0 when you booted with uSD in, mmc1 when you inserted it after booting Electrical properties of MMC interfaces are not all the same. A card that seems to work in one reader may fail in another. And a card that once worked fine may start to act up when the card's electrical properties change due to aging. The N900 also might age, try a new card of roughly same type in N900 and see what results you get. /j

Nokia N900 with SanDisk 32GB class 10 micro SD card. I have been using this micro SD card with kernel-power v50 for several months. Suddenly the N900 reset one day, during or after a phone call I think. I thought that was strange, but then noticed that, starting then, *every* time I tried running unison (triggers lots of IO on SD card), the N900 would reset. There was also some strange filesystem behavior with the Debian chroot on the SD card. dmesg contains messages like these (some line breaks added): mmcblk1: error -110 sending read/write command, \ response 0x0, card status 0x400b00 mmcblk1: error -110 transferring data, sector 15210519, \ nr 1, card status 0x400b00 end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk1, sector 15210519 (For some reason, it was sometimes 'mmcblk0' instead of 'mmcblk1', but either way the messages happened only when there is external SD card IO.) e2fsck (using N900 as reader) returns errors like this (line breaks added again): Error reading block 1376258 (Attempt to read block from filesystem \ resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan. Ignore \ error<y>? But everything works great with a SD card reader on a regular Linux system. So I tried upgrading to kernel-power v52, tried the stock kernel, and tried reflashing to stock everything. Same errors. It seems like from <http://maemo.org/community/maemo-users/n900_microsd_card_i-o_errors_and_corruption/> and <http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/maemo/users/65584#65591> that this error happens with the higher speed class SD cards, but has been worked around starting with v49 of kernel-power. Does anyone have any idea why I suddenly began to experience these IO errors? Thanks.

Hello, friends, I wrote a shell-script which changes the mac-address of my device (Nokia n900) on loading and put it in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d. It worked well with orginal Nokia's firmware but with CSSU firmware (testing and thumb) it doesn't work. With CSSU firmware it loads factory mac-address not indicated in my script. It needs to run that script manually for loading needed mac-address. Probably, something in SCCU firmware rewrite my new mac-address. I tried to put that script into /etc/network/if-up.d, but had the same result. How I can resolve my problem?

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) - Two stores in northern Idaho have reported the theft of cardboard with an estimated value of more than $15,000.
The Coeur d'Alene Press reports (http://bit.ly/YnjYQE) the Fred Meyer store in Coeur d'Alene reported the theft of 100 bales of cardboard worth $100 each in early January.
Managers at the Walmart in Hayden, about 3 or 4 miles north of the Fred Meyer store, reported a total of $5,400 in cardboard was taken on Jan. 27 and Feb. 11.
A Fred Meyer employee said they realized the cardboard was missing after reading about the Walmart theft in the newspaper.
Surveillance video from the Walmart theft shows a man loading the cardboard on a flatbed trailer with a forklift.

Sick goal of the year candidate from Vincent Praplan in Champions League (Video)Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy7 hrs ago
Everyone has their own criteria for a "goal of the year" candidate.
Some like a stunning display of hands to baffle a goalie. Others feel the journey to the net is as important as what happens there.
If you're in the later category, you're going to love this tally from Vincent Praplan of Kloten in the Champions Hockey League against HV71, our favorite hockey team that either sounds like a newly discovered planet or a vaccine.
Sick. Ness. Alas, Praplan's team lost 3-2 in the game, played in Jönköping, Sweden.
Let's count the sicknesses that comprised this goal:
1. That spin move to enter the zone, taking a pass from his teammate and whirling around a defender.
2. Avoiding a stick check on one side, and another defender on the other, by spitting them with a strong move to the goal.
3. Collecting a bounding puck right before engaging the goalie.
4. Now the entire team is collapsing around him, and he still manages to keep the puck, go to his backhand and slip it around the goalie's pad.
NHL Department of Player Safety: Loiselle out of mix, McPhee on radar?Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy1 day ago
Earlier this month, Claude Loiselle was seen as the leading candidate for the NHL's new sheriff in the Department of Player Safety.
Larry Brooks of the New York Post had him in the job, with an announcement pending. Loiselle's previous gig with the NHL's hockey operations department, working closely with deputy commissioner Bill Daly, appeared to give him the inside track after being left go by the Toronto Maple Leafs as an assistant general manager.
Well, things have changed, according to Darren Dreger of TSN. He reported Friday that Loiselle is "no longer in the mix" for the job.
Who is in the mix?
Connor McDavid admits he's contemplated life in Buffalo
There's going to be a junior hockey team playing at First Niagara Center on Oct. 22. And while this might seem like a reasonable commentary on the state of the Buffalo Sabres, we're actually talking about the Niagara IceDogs vs. the Connor McDavids, er, the Erie Otters.
McDavid, of course, is the prize of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, where the Sabres are expected to own one of the top two picks after tanking like a parade in Red Square this season. Which makes this junior hockey event all kinds of brilliant: Getting fans to pay to watch to the most hyped prospect since Sidney Crosby who may or may not eventually become to the savior of their favorite franchise.
As they say, the easiest thing to sell is hope. Even in Buffalo.
McDavid promoted the event on Thursday in Buffalo, and could barely contain his enthusiasm over potentially being a Sabre in two seasons. From Bill Hoppe:

ESPN anchor Linda Cohn suing ice rink after coin machine cuts her arm
Linda Cohn has worked at ESPN since 1992, a.k.a. when they covered the NHL. Before that, she attended SUNY-Oswego and played goalie, following a high-school career that saw her play for the boys' team.
In March, she had plans to strap on the pads again for a promotional event with the Hartford Wolf Pack, the New York Rangers' AHL affiliate. As she was about to take the ice at Brewster Arena, Cohn says that a group of children knocked a large coin-change machine on her, slicing her arm to the tune of 25 stitches.
The team called it a "freak accident."
Cohn believes the arena and its owners were negligent, and filed suit against them in July.
Don Cherry and his amazing jacket do the Ice Bucket Challenge
The Ice Bucket Challenge has been one of the most inspiring stories of the summer, despite what its detractors might protest. It's raised millions for ALS research, brought a disparate collection of individuals together and, let's face it, given a chance for creative people to elevate the gimmick into something epic. (Like the Foo Fighters, for example.)
That said, once you get BizNasty dropping glacier water from a helicopter, there aren't mean Ice Bucket Challenge competitors left that would make you stop and watch yet another individual dump water on their own head.
But Don Cherry … yes, Don Cherry is something we'll stop and watch have water dumped on his head – and his well-tailored jacket:
Well, someone had to water the flowers.
Teemu Selanne's epic new milk commercial: An analysis
Teemu Selanne's playing career may continue next season with Jokerit, the Finnish team which gave him his start.
But whether he plays or retires, Teemu's status as a hockey icon in his homeland means the endorsements will keep pouring in ... like milk into a pint glass.
Teemu Selanne is in a great new commercial for Valio, the official milk product of future Hockey Hall of Famers named Teemu. It's an inspirational hockey fable, brought to life by one of our game's most cherished players.
Here's Teemu's new ad:
We don't speak Finnish, so we're taking our best guess at the plot synopsis. Here goes nothing:
Teemu Selanne portrays Teemu Selanne, a former National Hockey League star who made the terrible, regrettable decision to retire when he clearly could have played another season in the League; potentially depriving Winnipeg of its most amazing moment since that time portable electric heaters debuted in local stores. Which we believe was in 2007.
NHL changes draft lottery rules, punishes worst teams
Tim Murray isn't going to like this.
The Buffalo Sabres general manager already registered his dissatisfaction with the NHL's changes to its draft lottery, which were approved by the Board of Governors earlier this year.
The issue? The immediacy: They were due to go into effect for 2015, when super-rookies Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel are available and when the Buffalo Sabres are expected to be abjectly terrible.
"You know who you're affecting, that's not fair," said Murray.
The changes have now been approved by the NHLPA, and the NHL announced how the system will work for the most highly-hyped lottery since Sidney Crosby was the prize.
From the NHL on the 2015 Draft, with translation from our crack staff of decoders:
The odds of winning the first overall selection in the NHL Draft for the 14 non-Playoff teams will be adjusted to more appropriately reflect the current state of competitive balance in the League.
"Currently, teams aren't tanking for the No. 1 and No. 2 picks. But they're totally going to start next season."

Steve Moore says no deal with Todd Bertuzzi; brother questions motivations
To recap the last day in Steve Moore v. Todd Bertuzzi and the Vancouver Canucks …
It was reported on Tuesday that the sides were close to a settlement before their Sept. 8 civil trial. Then, huzzah, the two sides agreed to a deal, according to Bertuzzi's attorney. Wait … actually, Bertuzzi's attorney said that he received a "disconcerting email" 10 minutes after the news went public that made him wonder if the deal was on. No, check it, everything's cool, and the deal is done. Except it totally isn't, according to Steve Moore's brother.
Annnnnnd exhale.
Mark Moore told Rick Westhead of TSN that he received a text message from his brother on Tuesday night saying there's no deal with Bertuzzi or the Canucks. "Because of the injury he has trouble making decisions and so he doesn't know how to handle the media," Mark Moore told TSN.

Tiverton Little League: Welcome
TLL News & Events
Majors & Juniors baseball registration is closed
Minors baseball will remain open until the teams are full
Minors and Majors Softball is open
To register a Player, go to:
(NOTE: All managers and coaches MUST register as a volunteer.)
Providence Journal Sports Writer, Carolyn Thornton, covered the 2014 Pesky Peckham Tournament.
Tiverton Little League completed a triple play of sorts at its 13th annual Pesky Peckham Scholarship Tournament, as the organization honored the memory of one of its longtime volunteers and provided a financial boost to four of its former players who are now going on to college, while hosting a fun 9-and-under baseball tournament. The invitational, which has grown from two teams to 16, was established in 2002 in memory of Pesky Peckham, a longtime coach and manager for Tiverton Little League, who died at 64 after an illness. "Several of Pesky's family members, including sons, daughters and grandchildren, are active participants and volunteers in Tiverton Little League and other Tiverton youth sports," said league vice president Tom Perella. "Over the years, teams have come from a wide variety of towns, including as far away as Holland, Pa.," he added. "The Pesky Tournament, which is characterized by a spirit of fun and originality, has become a "must" event yearly for several R.I. and Mass. towns." Proceeds from the event support a scholarship fund for graduating Tiverton high school seniors who participated in the town's baseball and softball programs. This year's scholarship recipients are Sarah Barboza, Wyatt Nolan, Avery Pacheco and Eli Roeske.

Smoker Briers said health problems were 'totally my fault'
Richard Briers' health deteriorated after being diagnosed with emphysema five years ago.
In an interview at the end of January, he told how he blamed his years of smoking for the condition.
"It's totally my fault. So, I get very breathless, which is a pain in the backside. Trying to get upstairs... oh God, it's ridiculous.
"Of course, when you're bloody nearly 80 it's depressing, because you've had it anyway."

It has been a while since we last saw Stacy Keibler on the red carpet, but she made a return with her boyfriend George Clooney in tow as they attended the 'Argo' LA premiere.
Dressed in all black, the actress wore a vintage Alaia silk dress.
The dress from the front is sexy, but the sizzle factor goes up several factors when you see it from the back.
Her open-back dress shows off what a mighty toned body she has. I'm green with envy.
Giuseppe Zanotti strappy black sandals, a Valentino studded clutch and jewels from Neil Lane accessorized her look.
I love the barely there makeup and the bouffant ponytail.
She knocked it out of the park with this look.

For the second year in a row, one of north Jersey's best swimming coaches has stepped down.
Pascack Regional's Shawn Buchanan announced to his team yesterday that after 11 years as coach, 2013-2014 would be his final season. Buchanan helped found Pascack Regional's swimming program, and to this point was the only coach in the program's history.
"I have two children and I have been missing so much of their lives while coaching, that I feel now is the time for me to be with them and be a part of their activities [and] sports. I've been the only coach in the program's history, helping create the team 11 years ago, so it was a very difficult decision for me," said Buchanan in an email to The Record.
Buchanan's announcement came on the heels of the third-seeded girls team's 89-81 loss to second-seeded Montclair in the North 1A semifinals. While the state tournament loss was heartbreaking, the Indians' girls still had a tremendous season. They went undefeated in regular season dual meets with an 11-0 record. They finished fourth at the Bergen Meet of Champions and won their fourth straight Big North Patriot Division title. Their seniors became the first class in program history to win the division four times. Finally, they advanced to the sectional semifinals for the first time ever with their 96-74 win over Millburn.
Earlier this season, Buchanan explained how Pascack's swimming program has gained traction and improved. "We're taking small steps. When you get good swimmers coming in every year it really starts to snowball."
Those steps have gotten larger over the past several seasons. No matter who replaces Buchanan, the team is still in a great spot. The Indians (especially the girls) have had a steady influx of talent over the last few years. They have great swimmers of every class year and have another strong one coming in, so their success should be sustainable for the foreseeable future.
After such a great tenure, it's good to see that Buchanan was able to end it on a high note. There's one final interesting point here. Last year, Demarest coach Mike Ives, who also started his school's program 11 years before leaving, resigned after an amazing season for the same reason — to spend time with his family.

Usually, late night TV stand-up is the domain of up-and-coming comedians. Letterman and Conan and Leno booked acts you'd never heard of, in an attempt to give them a big career boost. But for the first performance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the new host went big, booking Jerry Seinfeld. And Seinfeld did not disappoint, although he did open with a little "What's the deal with these cell phones?" schtick.

Did you catch the Capitol 4th on KSPS TV? Great program! I watched between barbecues and going downtown to see the fireworks display. Both were great of course. Spokane couldn't compete with what was called the greatest display of fireworks anywhere in the nation!
Equally sublime were the entertainers who provided incredible music for the event. My favorites were comedian Steve Martin who played with the Steep Canyon Rangers and American Idol winner Jordin Sparks.
Another of my favorite singers, Harry Conick Jr., will be appearing this Saturday on KSPS' Great Performances at 8 p.m. Connick will perform in his trademark jazzy New Orleans style at New York's Neil Simon Theatre. With a 20-piece swing band and a 10-piece string section, Connick will play both a Steinway grand and up-right honky-tonk piano. He'll be singing "Hey, There" from his recent hit revival of The Pajama Game, as well as "Take Her to the Mardi Gras" from his 2001 Broadway musical Thou Shalt Not. There's many too many songs to list here but check out the KSPS website for more info.
Be still my beating heart!

Debra Dawes, Left: March 2004, Right: July 2004, Oil on Canvas
clock wise: Debra Dawes
Dates: 9 March – 15 April
Opening: Tuesday 8 March, 6pm
Artist: Debra Dawes
For many years Debra Dawes' work has engaged perception and specifically the construction of space within painting as a social construct.
Dawes has been working with minimal grid patterns that have had a mathematical basis since 1982, yet her practice is much concerned with the emotions and human relations as optical relationships.
The exhibition clock wise by Debra Dawes consists of a series of 12 large canvases painted over a twelve month period. Each painting is a monthly record, which begins with December 2003 and ends with November 2004.
The individual canvas, a notation of the rhythm of the artist's presence and absence in the studio, is drawn up according to the number of days in the month. Consequently thirty days are represented by thirty stripes. When present in the studio the lapse of time is documented by painting in the number of stripes that represent each day since the last recording.
This new series of works investigates painting as a system that records lived rhythms, encounters and responses to being in the world. The system embodies the interplay between the self and the medium of communication; between the painter and the painting. Implicit within each painting then, is the pattern constructed out of duration and immediacy; from the ebb and flow of lived experience.

Magnitude 6.1 quake in central Peru
LIMA, Peru (AP) — A deep, magnitude-6.1 earthquake shook people awake in Peru's central jungle region early yesterday and was also felt in the capital, Lima.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
Civil defense official Jairo Goreau in the provincial capital of Pucallpa near the epicentre said some power outages were reported as well as telephone line congestion but city inspectors had so far encountered no damage.
The quake struck at 4:38 am, 21 miles east of Pucallpa, a city of more than 270,000 people, at a depth of 89 miles, according to the US Geological Survey.

TOP 5 UPDATE: This recipe made the Top 5 was because over the years I've received lots of emails from people who love it. It does have a lot of baking powder, though — a flavor I'm starting to notice and not favorably. But the recipe is still a good one.
I was craving chocolate chip cookies and decided to try a recipe out of The Figs Table. My favorite recipes from the book are in the pizza and pasta categories, but there are also some great desserts, one of which is the white chocolate challah pudding, which is now my benchmark for bread pudding. Given this book's history, I figured these cookies would be awesome. They have the perfect level of sweetness, light crisp edges and soft centers. They're also packed with chunks of chocolate and nuts. The oats, which are completely pulverized, add depth and flavor, but aren't really recognizable in the cookie.
Here are the cookies……still hot.
Chocolate Chip Cookies – adapted from a Todd English recipe in The Figs Table
1 cup walnut or pecan pieces
20 tablespoons (285 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup (200 grams) light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup (96 grams) granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice or 2 teaspoons espresso powder dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 cups (260 -270 grams) all purpose flour
1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking powder
1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking soda
1 teaspoon (5 ml) kosher salt (Morton brand, if using Diamond you'll need more)
1 cup (90 grams) rolled oats, pulverized in food processor (measure 1 cup before pulverizing)
3 cups any combination of semi-sweet, bitter sweet chocolate chunks (T.E. includes white chunks and milk chunks)
Place nuts in a large skillet set over medium heat. Cook nuts, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes or until they become aromatic and start to release their oil. Remove from skillet and allow them to cool completely.
Using an electric mixer (a stand mixer, if you have one), cream the butter and both sugars; Beat in the vanilla, then beat in your choice of 1) lemon juice or 2) dissolved espresso. I used lemon juice. Add the egg and egg yolk and beat just until eggs are until blended into the batter; Do not overbeat after adding the eggs.
In a separate bowl, thoroughly stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt. Add the flour mixture to the batter and mix just until well-blended. Add the oats to the batter and stir just until blended. Stir in the cooled chopped nuts and chocolate
Chill the dough for about an hour if you have the time and would like slightly thicker cookies.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Spoon large tablespoonfuls of dough 3 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet; bake one sheet at a time for 13-15 minutes or until cookies are brown around edges but still soft in the middle. Allow them to sit on the cookie sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool.
The yield is supposed to be 48 cookies, but I tend to make mine slightly larger and wind up with fewer.

To The Moon! Boulder Company Hopes to Blast Off Within Decade
A Boulder-based aerospace startup received global news coverage last week with plans to launch tourism expeditions to the moon. It may sound like pure sci-fi, but the Golden Spike Company says lunar missions could begin as soon as 2020.
Boulder County Business Report publisher Chris Wood says the company (which is named for the last spike that completed the transcontinental railroad) would use existing rockets and commercial spacecraft being developed by other private companies to provide trips to the moon for nations, individuals and corporations.
A few of the company's credentials…
Golden Spike is headed by Allen Stern, its president and CEO. Stern lives in Niwot and is an associate vice president with the Southwest Research Institute, which is based in San Antonio but maintains its department of space studies in Boulder.
Stern is also former chief of NASA's space and earth science programs. He's joined by Golden Spike's chairman, Gerry Griffin, an Apollo flight director and former director of NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
When might the company be ready to launch its first moon mission?
Golden Spike has said it wants its first launch by 2020. Besides being focused on fundraising, Wood says they're currently working on a lunar lander.
In addition, Golden Spike is working with manufacturers of spacecraft, spacesuits and life-support systems. The company only recently completed its business plan, which Stern says proved the technical and financial viability of the venture.
The million (or billion?) -dollar question, of course: How much will it cost to go to the moon?
According to Wood, the company says its first mission would cost between $7 billion and $8 billion, including the company's startup costs. Subsequent missions would run about $1.5 billion for each two-person mission.
So for a mere $750 million -- you could have your very own ticket to the moon. Better start shaking out the couch cushions now...

A long-time employee of a prominent South Tampa church is under arrest and facing serious charges related to child pornography.
Federal authorities are charging Michael Alan Klevene, 61 of Tampa, with multiple counts of possession and distribution of child pornography.
Klevene worked for 20 years as a maintenance employee at the Hyde Park United Methodist Church.
Lead pastor, Dr. James Harnish says he's known Klevene the entire time he's worked at the church, but Klevene never did anything to raise suspicions. Dr. Harnish says, "Mike was a very private person, pretty much to himself."
This weekend, Dr. Harnish informed his congregation of the arrest. He told them there is no evidence of any wrongdoing at the church. Dr. Harnish says there are several safeguards to protect children while they are on church property. Dr. Harnish says, "Every employee, every volunteer who serves in children our youth ministry, they all undergo periodic background checks, they have annual training in child protection."
According to a federal criminal complaint, Klevene told the investigators he was surprised to be arrested. He thought he only sent the images to people who had previously sent the images to him.
The criminal complaint also says Klevene admitted to collecting the graphic images of children and that he had been doing so for the past 20 years.

An anonymous tip lead to the confiscation of 60 fighting roosters in Goodlettsville on Saturday.Police responded to a home on South Dickerson Pike where there has reportedly been a large amount of vehicle traffic."What they found by their own admission was an operation that was training roosters for fighting," said Chief Gary Goodwin.Animal control agents ultimately seized 60 fighting roosters, some of which were badly injured."There are a couple that have their combs cut off. That way, the opposing rooster can't grab his comb and hold him down to fight. This happens a lot in Davidson County and people don't realize it," said Billy Biggs with Metro Animal Control.Authorities said the birds have been fought inside a ring, as evidenced by loose feathers all around and certain injuries they sustained.According to Chief Goodwin, there was no evidence of cock fighting at the time of the raid, so the men can only be cited for training the roosters, a misdemeanor offense."Basically they were of Cuban descent and didn't feel, culturally, they were doing anything wrong. Basically they said they trained them and they were not involved in the fighting themselves," Chief Goodwin explained.Fighting roosters is legal in Cuba, but not in the United States.Metro Animal Control took the roosters from the residence. They were deemed as unadoptable and had to be destroyed.Officials say they will discuss the situation with the District Attorney to see if animal cruelty charges are warranted.

Pro-Dem companies outperform pro-GOP
by jcjcjc, Tue Oct 10, 2006 at 07:36:51 AM EDT
As a committed business Democrat -- a true Kool-Aid drinking believer in the Dems' business policies -- I found this article very interesting:
http://www.marketwatch.com/News/Story/St ory.aspx?dist=newsfinder&siteid=mktw &guid=%7BA88DEDDA%2D1279%2D475C%2D90 3D%2D85EF3B1324D9%7D&link=&keywo rd=blue
According to the firm's research paper, "The Blue Factor," an index of 76 companies in the S&P 500 meeting certain ethical criteria and favoring Democrats -- "blue" stocks -- would have topped a group of about 380 Republican "red" stocks by 15.6 percentage points annualized over the five years through August.
Trading in a five-year range, the pro-Democratic companies more than doubled the return of the pro-Republican companies.
Of course, there are huge ranges of questions about anything like this. Beyond the obvious sample-related questions, even if you accept the result you have to ask the question: "What does it say about those businesses?"
One argument is that good practices are good practices. Environmentalism promotes efficiency, and efficiency never hurts the bottom line. Better pay promotoes productivity. Better health care ensures a stable and happy work force.
An additional argument is that Republicans are just plain corrupt. Corruption, especially institutionalized corruption like we see in the GOP, brutalizes the bottom line. Corruption becomes an unrecoverable sunk cost. As such, it erodes profit heavily over time.
And then there is the question of how smart are Republicans.
To be honest, in order to believe in markets, you almost have to believe the third explanation is the explanation. In an unbiased game with many options, eventually ethical and moral factors even out. If an unethical player can advance, eventually the ethical players will copy him (look at the stock option back-dating scandal). And the reverse is true also; if the ethical player can advance, the unethical player will change his tactics to match (look at manufacturing finding religion on efficiency).
In the long run, the smart player makes the smart play with little serious regard for more than the returns and the risks involved.
So, does the empirical evidence suggest that Republican compoanies just aren't the smart players?
Or does something else give?
