FIFA have claimed steps are in place to improve conditions for construction workers in Qatar ahead of the 2022 World Cup.
A report from Amnesty International published on Sunday claimed instances of "human rights abuses" had been found on construction projects in the state set to host the global football event.
The charity found that many workers were suffering from "severe psychological distress" because of their treatment, while often being "treated like cattle" and living in "squalid, overcrowded accommodation".
Football's governing body, in response to the report, said that it "shares Amnesty International's efforts towards social justice and respect of human rights and dignity".
FIFA added that initiatives are in place to help improve labour laws and increase transparency.
"The state of Qatar is aware of various issues and has already started to react," the organisation told Perform.
"FIFA has been informed by the Qatari authorities that the labour laws and labour system will be amended, a process which has already started. Special attention will be paid to the different inspections that are necessary, the government inspectors will receive more powers to enforce the labour legislation.
"The event organisers have released a workers' welfare charter which is publicly available and are currently developing their workers' welfare standards.
"It is FIFA's aim that the host countries of our flagship event ensure healthy, safe and dignified working conditions for all - nationals and foreigners, including construction workers - involved in the preparation of the event."

Fort Smith crews repair cracked, buckled sidewalks
Updated On: Aug 21 2013 08:38:19 AM CDT
Fort Smith sidewalks are getting a much-needed makeover.
Since last week, crews have been replacing sidewalks near 16th and "I Streets. Officials said, like many sidewalks in the city, they are cracked, bulging and too narrow. They said many of the sidewalks have not been touched in 100 years.
Officials said although there are several sidewalks in the city that need to be worked on, they will first repair the area's closest to schools, nursing homes and parks.
"Just to have better walkways and better ways to school and just to help the city, because it's been one of the comments that we get a lot…that sidewalks are in bad shape," said Greg Riley, the Director of Streets and Traffic Control.
Riley said money from a statewide sales tax and city tax on building permits is helping build the new sidewalks.
"It just helps us to have more money to spend on the streets. We're trying to put it out there the best way the citizens want," he said.
Riley said his department started seeing that tax money come in last month. He said there is no timeline for the sidewalk projects, crews will fix them as they see fit.

Public Accounts Committee seeks urgent review of £7.5bn Government scheme to encourage building of new homes
Damning report found that policy has benefited areas where houses are already in plentiful supply
Adam Sherwin
Adam Sherwin is a News reporter who specialises in entertainment, broadcasting, music and popular culture stories.
Thursday 31 October 2013
The Public Accounts Committee has called for an urgent review of a £7.5 billion Government scheme to encourage the building of new homes after a damning report found that the policy has benefited areas where houses are already in plentiful supply whilst penalising the local authorities in greatest need.
Eric Pickles, the Communities and Local Government Secretary, set aside an initial £1.3 billion to fund the New Homes Bonus, a payment-by-results incentive paid by central government to local councils for increasing the number of homes.
The Bonus, to be paid each year for 6 years, is based on the amount of extra Council Tax revenue raised for new-build homes, conversions and long-term empty homes brought back into use.
However the PAC found that, two years after its launch, there was no credible data to assess whether the scheme was working. The figures made available suggested that the Bonus was actually exacerbating the UK's housing shortage by benefiting areas where the need for new homes was the lowest.
Margaret Hodge MP, Chair of the PAC, said: "The scheme is funded from existing local authority grants. £7.5 billion will have been redistributed between councils by 2018-19, so there is a lot of money at stake. It is clearly vital that the incentives work and the Government achieves its aim."
"It is therefore disappointing that after more than two years of the scheme being up and running, no evaluation is in place and no credible data is available to show whether the scheme is working or not.
Mrs Hodge said: "So far the areas which have gained most money tend to be the areas where housing need is lowest. The areas that have lost most tend to be those where needs are greatest."
"The Department (DCLG) has yet to demonstrate whether the New Homes Bonus works. Is it helping to create more new homes than would have been built anyway? Is it the best way for Government to use its limited resources to create more homes where they are needed most? Its planned evaluation of the Bonus scheme is now urgent."
Sir Bob Kerslake, Permanent Secretary at the Department for Communities and Local Government, said he was "disappointed" by the report and expressed "significant disagreements with its findings."
Sir Bob said: "We have made very clear that our review of the New Homes Bonus is underway and will be completed by Easter 2014 as we have always promised.
"The whole point of the New Homes Bonus - which the committee fails to recognise - is to recognise housing growth where it occurs, with money going where those homes are needed most.
"That's why we've committed £1.2billion over five years towards this scheme, which the National Audit Office themselves found has the potential to deliver up to 100,000 additional homes over 10 years."
The Government estimates that 232,000 extra households will need homes each year to 2033 but in 2012 only 115,600 new homes were built in England.
To partly fund the Bonus, the Department (DCLG) allocated £950 million in specific grant for the four years to March 2015. In addition, each year the Bonus is financed by redistribution from within the DCLG's main formula funding for local authorities, with £599 million redistributed so far. Some local authorities are net gainers from the redistribution of formula funding, whereas others lose out.
The Government's decision to fund a large part of the Bonus from a deduction from the Department's main formula funding for local government is seen by some local authorities as unfair.
"Local authorities that can earn only low levels of Bonus will not make up their share of the sum deducted from the formula funding," the PAC found. "These local authorities are usually in areas where developers are less likely to want to build housing, which are more typically in deprived parts of the country or in areas where land can be more expensive to develop."
The DCLG told the committee that the redistribution of local authority funding from north to south through the Bonus was off-set by other policies, such as the Regional Growth Fund, which targets funding at the north.
The Government now plans to make councils hand some or all of the cash to their area's Local Enterprise Partnership to support economic growth projects.
Labour-run Derbyshire County Council complained that it would now lose some or all of the £466,000 bonus it was due to receive for helping bring empty homes back into use in Derbyshire.
Richard Bacon, a Conservative member of the PAC, said: "The need to undertake a robust and thorough evaluation of the New Homes Bonus is now urgent so we can see if the scheme is working as intended and what adjustments might need to be made."
Housing Minister Kris Hopkins said: "Today's report demonstrates a complete lack of understanding about the New Homes Bonus and what it sets out to do.
"The New Homes Bonus is designed to ensure that areas with increased housebuilding get the financial benefits of development, and that new homes go where they are needed most. The report also fails to take into account the National Audit Office's own findings that the scheme is incentivising bringing empty homes back into use and protecting delivery of new homes."

Have you even been so intently focused on what you're doing that you lose track of time? This is of course what researchers refer to as "flow" or "getting in the zone." In a recent FastCo Labs article, Leanne Butkovic explains the science of exactly what's going on in our brains when we get in the zone:
The precuneus, the part of the brain associated with self-reflection and argued to be the most important for consciousness, is very active in these moments of creative output…[it's] also considered to be the hub of the 'default mode' network of the brain–the systems which work without you intentionally thinking about it. This mode is in contrast to the 'executive faculty,' which [is] what psychologists call our capacities for attention and reason. During states of 'normalcy,' we are in control of our focuses and thought processes. When you're in the zone, this changes: Your inner monologue, co-opted by the default mode network, runs off in manic glee while the executive network effectively deactivates.
Getting in the zone is all about being in a state where our attention and thoughts are uninhibited. The best way to get into that state? Placing yourself into situations where the work can come about without much concentration. For example: writing quickly without evaluating what you're writing or drawing without worrying where the pen is going. In other words: to experience flow, save critiquing your work for later, focus instead on freely creating first.
Explore all of the science about your brain in the zone right here.
Previously on flow: Not Too Hard, Not Too Easy: Finding Flow In Your Work
In a new study by Cornell University assistant psychology professor Emily Zitek and Vanderbilt University post-doctoral researcher Lynne C. Vincent proposes that entitlement can stimulate your creativity:
Our results suggest that people who feel more entitled value being different from others, and the greater their need for uniqueness, the more they break convention, think divergently and give creative responses.
The key is to stir feelings of entitlement right before doing something creative. In the study, subjects did this by writing a few sentences about why they deserved positive outcomes. Sort of like a pep talk before you take on a task. However, don't get too carried away; the study found that it only worked for those who had temporary boosts of entitlement, not those in a perpetual state of self importance.
Burnout. You know the stages, you know the signs and you know how to avoid it. But despite our best efforts, it still happens.
Entrepreneur, weightlifter, and travel photographer James Clear shares his simple visualization to help us lead a balanced life: a bucket.
Imagine that your health and energy are a bucket of water. In your day-to-day life, there are things that fill your bucket up. These are inputs like sleep, nutrition, meditation, stretching, laughter, and other forms of recovery.There are also forces that drain the water from your bucket. These are outputs like lifting weights or running, stress from work or school, relationship problems, or other forms of stress and anxiety.
Clear says that if we want to keep your bucket full, we have two options:
- Refill your bucket on a regular basis. That means catching up on sleep, making time for laughter and fun, eating enough to maintain solid energy levels, and otherwise making time for recovery.
- Let the stressors in your life accumulate and drain your bucket. Once you hit empty, your body will force you to rest through injury and illness.
Recovery is non-negotiable: you can recover on your own terms or on the terms burnout sets when it inevitably catches up to you. The choice is yours.
"It's easy to miss the real point of our lives even as we're living them," writes Arianna Huffington in her book Thrive. "And it is very telling what we don't hear in eulogies." Those things include making senior vice president, sacrificing kids' Little League games to go over those numbers one more time, or my personal favorite: "she dealt with every email in her inbox every night."
"You never hear, 'George increased market share by 30 percent,'" Huffington said at a recent event at Soho House in New York City. What you do hear in eulogies, she says, are stories of "small kindnesses."
It's well known that details make good art great. Subtle word choices separate great poets from amateurs. Small flourishes define superlative architecture. Tiny considerations make products world-class ("Jobs spent days agonizing over just how rounded the corners should be," writes Walter Isaacson about the Apple II in Steve Jobs).
I think the same can be said about building a great business. Tiny considerations in the interactions companies have with their customers are all about focusing on people before profits—and, paradoxically, this can yield huge returns. This is the mentality that Wharton professor Adam Grant talks about in his research on corporate "givers" versus "takers." In various now-famous studies in his book Give and Take, Grant has shown that the most successful people in the workplace tend to be the ones who give selflessly to others without expectation of returned favors. Research by Jim Stengel, former global marketing head at Procter & Gamble, shows that this also works at a corporate level. Businesses "center[ed] on improving people's lives outperform their competitors," he writes, after studying a decade of market performance of fifty thousand brands.
In Thrive, Huffington argues that power and money have too long been life's main yardsticks of success, and that we should measure our achievements instead by four new metrics: Wisdom, Wonder, Well-Being, and Giving. If the eulogy test is an indication, Giving is likely the most memorable of the four.
"It's tempting to reserve the giver label for larger-than-life heroes such as Mother Teresa or Mahatma Gandhi, but being a giver doesn't require extraordinary acts of sacrifice," Grant writes in Give and Take. "It just involves a focus on acting in the interests of others."
This is an excerpt from 99U's new book, Make Your Mark. It features 21 essays and interviews on building a creative business with impact, including the full text of this essay by Contently co-founder and journalist Shane Snow.
Over on Inc., Neil Patel, co-founder of KISSmetrics, shares 16 tips for getting 90 percent of your work done in the morning, after which you can push back from your desk to enjoy a leisurely lunch.
His approach is built on the Pareto principle, which holds that 80 percent of your results come from 20 percent of your efforts. Arrange the layout of your work day by front-loading, so that you're executing the meat of your workload when you're freshest and firing on all cylinders.
A few favorites from his suggestions:
Schedule your day the night before. Every day, you should list all your tasks and when you're going to do them the following day. You will not be productive unless you plan out everything you're going to do the next morning. Quick tip: Don't schedule too much. Keep your to-do schedule light to actually accomplish real work.
Make 60-second decisions. Decision making is a time-draining vortex. When you're faced with a decision in the course of your work, give yourself a one-minute limit. Your decision will be just as good, but it will take less time.
Do your writing early on. Writing is one of the most mentally demanding tasks. However, writing also has the power of focusing your brain and improving your productivity. Do you writing early in the day, and you'll improve both the quality of your writing and the rest of your day.
Reward yourself at a certain time. Set the clock–a countdown timer if you have to. At a certain point, you're going to stop. So, stop. Break out the kazoos, throw some confetti, and do your happy dance. It's time to reward yourself.
What better motivation than a refreshing mid-day break and the knowledge that you've drilled through the bulk of your workload? You'll be primed to zero in on the remaining 10 percent.
Conventional wisdom holds that the higher echelons of any industry are populated by people who never quit. But writer and designer Sarah Kathleen Peck suggests that quitting is not only OK, it can be richly constructive.
In a post on Medium, Peck describes what she learned from observing her enduring pattern of enthusiastically starting projects, pausing partway through, and beating herself up for failing to ship:
What was happening? Why was I quitting? Life happened. Things got hard, they got rough: deadlines built up. Real work pulled me in. The need to take a run and take care of my body surfaced. The competing pulls of attention and focus and deadlines wrapped me in their compelling arms. But something else was happening, too. Ten days of paper-crafting…led me to building an entirely new online program of my own.
Skimming the lessons in a business-building mastermind opened up a new way of creating sales pages. Reading half of a book propelled me into my next project. And then it hit me: what if I was getting exactly what I needed?
The idea is that quitting can beneficially lead to embarking on a different project that's informed and nourished by the abandoned one. Peck suggests that it's possible the ego is the only part of ourselves that actually cares about finishing, at least when it comes to exploratory creative work:
You don't have to do everything to get something out of it…. No one said you have to get 100% done and be perfect to enjoy the fruits of your progress.
If you're working on something that's not beholden to someone else's deadline or parameters, don't finish for the sake of finishing. Quit to see what space you've opened up for something even greater.
On the commentary track (around 5:11) for Pixar's animated film, WALL-E, director and writer Andrew Stanton discusses how the creative process can sometimes lead you to unexpected places and hard decisions:
I always sort of always equate story development to an archaeological dig, in that you kind of know the dinosaur you want to dig up and where it is. You pick a piece on the ground and you start digging and you bring up bones and you start trying to piece together this dinosaur or the story you're trying to find, but you just don't have much say about which bones you're going to get and what bones they are…
Stanton understands that sometimes everything about your dig will point to a tyrannosaurus rex. Then at the last minute you'll dig up something and realize all your bones were backwards and you actually have a stegosaurus. He asks the hard question: do you shift everything around at the last minute to show a stegosaurus or do you just force it to be a tyrannosaurus rex?
Even if it extends the deadline, it's better to realign your project then to force it to be something it's not. When the creative process takes your concept for a spin, go with it. Stanton concludes, "I am very, very lucky that I work for a place that encourages last minutes ideas."

Manaena gets her gold medals delivered by courier
Relevant offers
She may have missed out on an official medal ceremony at the Powerlifting World Cup but Invercargill champion powerlifter Sonia Manaena will have a chance to shine in front of a home crowd at the Civic Theatre this week.
Manaena won the open heavyweight silver medal at the World Powerlifting Championships in Sweden in June, but was promoted to first after the Russian winner, Irina Yaroshenko, failed a drug test.
A courier delivered her medals, which she called her babies, on Friday but she has refused to wear them around her neck until her ceremony on Thursday evening.
She had got nervous because the medals were taking a long time to arrive.
"They phoned to tell me there was a glitch and it would take longer than expected. There had been some difficulty retrieving the medals from Russia and officials had missed a connection to swap the medals."
The International Powerlifting Federation knew Manaena's medal ceremony had been planned, so they minted new gold medals for her.
Manaena was sad she missed the official ceremony and the chance to hear God Defend New Zealand as the flag was raised on the first podium.
"That was my biggest disappointment. I have been lifting for seven years now and that is what you do it for. All the ups and downs are for that one moment . . . It would have been my first time."
However, she felt it was also a privilege to celebrate the medal presentation in her home town.
Manaena thanked all her sponsors and the Invercargill City Council for making it possible to celebrate winning the gold with her family, friends and supporters.
"Southlanders are always supportive and are great at celebrating achievements in sport," she said.
Valerie Adams would be in Invercargill on Wednesday to promote her book but had a busy schedule and could not make the ceremony.
However, they would make some time to catch up, she said.
"Val told me she wanted to be there but she would be watching . . . she said to me, 'it's your time sis, enjoy'."
At the ceremony she would be thinking about her dad and older brother who were no longer with her, she said.
She would also be thinking about all the hard work she and her coach Brian Jenkins had put in to win the medals.
The presentation ceremony will be held at the Civic Theatre on Thursday at 6.50pm.
New Zealand Powerlifting Federation president Steve Lousich will present Ms Manaena with her four medals: overall gold, raw deadlift (world record) gold, squat gold and silver bench lift.
After the ceremony she plans to up her training because she has been invited to compete in the exclusive Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic, which the man himself will attend.
"I am training about four days each week now but my programme will be stepped up after the ceremony, it's time to turn the page," she said.

Miina Matsuoka lives by herself in New York City. She owns two cats and routinely screens her calls. But before you jump to conclusions, note that she is comfortable hobnobbing in any of five languages for her job as business manager at an international lighting-design firm. She just strongly prefers not to socialize, opting instead for long baths, DVDs, and immersion in her art projects. She does have good, close friends, and goes dancing about once a month, but afterward feels a strong need to "hide and recoup." In our society, where extroverts make up three-quarters of the population, loners (except Henry David Thoreau) are pegged as creepy or pathetic. But soloists like Matsuoka can function just fine in the world—they simply prefer traveling through their own interior universe.

Truly optimistic!
It's so simple to see how everybody have their own personal view of world. Whether it's good, bad, or ugly (or disturbing to say the least), it's how they see it. Great originally of the whole story and theme of it. It's definitely an eye-opener for everybody who sees this. Good work!
hey that was very awesome. at first when i just saw the teddy bear sitting there i thought it was gonna be like a horror thing going on there, like it was gonna suddenly scream and it has like a horrific look on its face. but then i started to realize that this was showing how different people view the world. then when the boy was about to turn the bear around... that's when i thought it was gonna be a horror thing.. haha. well anyway.. maybe you shoulda shown what the bear really did look like... or not... it mighta ruined the whole concept of it..
well anywayz.. GOOD JOB.. loved it
This should have been 1st place.
This has a good message or view to it. Yes it's true what it means, everyone's view is different to the world. This is a great work you have done. Hope to see something again that gives a message or funny stuff. ^_^ Good work.
seriously....i wanna cry now ....
Absolutely amazing! I love how everyone crowds in the door-way just to look at the bear, and how none of them know for certain what the bear looks like.

Lambeau laugher
Full-strength Packers make it look easy versus Vikings
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- This rematch was a mismatch.
And the rest of the NFC might want to take note.
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers showed how dangerous they can be when they're at full strength Saturday night, overwhelming the Minnesota Vikings 24-10 in an NFC wild-card game that was never really close.
"Playoff victories are always ones that are very special," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "Tonight's win definitely starts and ends with our defence."
John Kuhn scored two touchdowns, DuJuan Harris added another and Rodgers connected with an NFL playoff-record 10 receivers as he threw for 274 yards in his first playoff victory at home. Defensively, the Packers (12-5) finally managed to contain Adrian Peterson and were all over Vikings backup Joe Webb, pressed into service because of Christian Ponder's elbow injury.
Peterson was held to 99 yards -- an improvement after gaining 199 and 210 in the first two games. Webb, who hadn't thrown a pass all season, was sacked three times and off target all night. His only highlight was a 50-yard scoring pass to Michael Jenkins late in the fourth quarter, but it was far too late for the Vikings (10-7).
With a little over a minute left, Packers fans began taunting the Vikings (10-7) with chants of "Nah-nah-nah-nah ... goodbye." The win snapped a two-game losing streak at Lambeau Field in the playoffs, and sends the Packers to San Francisco next Saturday for an NFC divisional game with the 49ers. The teams met in the season opener, with San Francisco winning 30-22.
"The main thing was to come out and help this team get a big win," said Charles Woodson, playing in his first game since breaking his right collarbone Oct. 21. "This is the first playoff game for us this year and we want to continue to ride."
This was the third game in six weeks between Green Bay and the Vikings, and second in six days. The Packers' loss in Minnesota last weekend cost them the No. 2 seed in the NFC, along with a bye this weekend, and left them looking -- dare we say it? -- vulnerable going into the playoffs. But with Charles Woodson back from the broken collarbone that's sidelined him since Oct. 21 and Rodgers having all four of his top receivers for, essentially, the first time since Sept. 30, Green Bay looked like a team that could make the kind of deep run it did two years ago when it won the Super Bowl.
Rodgers used so many different options other NFL quarterbacks must have been drooling. He went with Harris on Green Bay's first scoring drive, mixed it up between James Jones, Tom Crabtree and Greg Jennings on the second, and had 22- and 23-yard completions to Jordy Nelson before Kuhn scored on a 3-yard run that put the Packers up 17-3 just before the half. It was more Harris and Kuhn on the final scoring drive.
Harris, who didn't play in the first game against Minnesota this season because he'd only been elevated from the practice squad a day earlier, led the team in receiving (five catches for 61 yards) and rushing (47 yards on 17 carries). Jennings and Jones had four catches each and Nelson had three before hobbling off late in the fourth quarter.
"We have some stuff to work on," Rodgers insisted. "We've got to help our defence out more, close a team out like that. Tough test next week back in San Francisco. We'll be excited about that."
Hey, at least the Packers are still playing. That's more than the Vikings can say.
Ponder's right elbow was hurt last weekend when Morgan Burnett slammed into him on a blitz, and there just wasn't enough time to recover with the short, six-day turnaround. He tested the arm before the game, but the Vikings decided to go with Webb, whose only playing time this year was a couple of handoffs at the end of a blowout of Tennessee in early October.
"Close," Ponder said of the decision not to play. "We went out pregame and threw a little bit, and just made the decision that it would probably be better off playing Joe with how limited I'd be."
It was the first time Buffalo's Frank Reich in 1993 a quarterback had started a playoff game after not starting during the regular season and, in the first series at least, he seemed to have caught the Packers off guard.
That or they were too busy trying to bottle up Peterson, who bulldozed them for 409 yards in their first two games, to pay attention. With what seemed like every Packers defender focused on Peterson, Webb converted a third-and-3 with a 17-yard pickup. His 5-yard run four plays later put the Vikings at the Green Bay 13. But Webb's first pass of the night went into the ground, and the Vikings were forced to settle for Blair Walsh's 33-yard field goal that gave them a 3-0 lead.
But the Packers quickly settled down and Webb and the Vikings never stood a chance. Especially with Peterson not allowed to roam free as he's done against the Packers in the past.
"The energy level was at an all-time high," Woodson said. "This week, like last week, we buzzed around. But this week we made the tackles, we didn't allow (Peterson) to get through the line of scrimmage and get yards after first contact. We just kept putting heat on them. That was the difference."

This review is from: Stuhrling Original Men's 129XL.335557 Aviator Tuskegee Warhawk Automatic Date Black Watch (Watch)
I bought this watch fooled by the attractive looks, large dial and all the Swiss heritage claims. When I received it I was really happy, but as time passed its many flaws were becoming apparent and I realized my mistake in having bought this watch.
The Chinese movement is cheap and unreliable. The luminescence is practically useless and can't be seen an hour after you turn off the light. The strap was too rigid and exuded a foul smell that lasted for months. The minute hand detached barely a year after purchase. Now it's resting in a drawer because I think it's not worth fixing.
My humble advice if you are looking for an affordable automatic watch would be to go for a Japanese model.
I have a Seiko Monster and it's an amazing watch, reliable and well built. I've also had the chance to try my nephew's Orient Mako which is neat looking. Both use Japanese movements.
I hope my review helps others to not waste their money the same way I did.

Jay Z & B Still Going
Jay Z & B Still Going
So much for the break up rumors. Jay-Z and B took the stage together at Radio City Music Hall last night to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his first album, "Reasonable Doubt." I thought he retired. Guess not. He just announced he will go on tour overseas. Here's more:
In an interview with The Associated Press on Friday between rehearsals for Sunday night's commemorative show, Jay-Z announced that he would be going on tour this fall in a jaunt around the globe — Seoul, Beirut, Dubai, Johannesburg and Sydney, to name a few stops.
"There's a lot of places I haven't been," explained Jay-Z. "They've heard my music but they've never really seen me perform live. ... This really makes me wanna go out and perform. I'm looking forward to going overseas."

Obnoxious sports broadcasters
Original post made by Bob, Duveneck/St. Francis, on Mar 5, 2007
Basketball Tournament from H-P Pavillion. Those two announers, especiallly the woman, Mary Murphy, were just plan bad and never shut up even to take a breath. Tonight, the final
was the worse. The female announcer was so pathetically pro-Arizona. It's one thing to listen on the radio, but quite another to have to listen to this drivel while watching on TV and seeing what is going on.

I would actually pay money to be able to watch sports on tv with no announcers. If you use mute, you lose the crowd noise, with is actually part of the game. Or with ice dancing, you lose the music.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Mar 6, 2007 at 2:40 pm
It is also the advertising in the commercial breaks that are offensive. It is the children in my home that watch sport on tv and the breaks are filled with commercials for beer and viagra, as well as promotions for tv shows unsuitable for children. How unfair that I have to monitor the breaks in the action when they are really enjoying the game.

Tim Scott and Daniel Inouye Show a Better America
On Monday, the U.S. Senate got its newest member and lost its most senior member.
The newest senator is South Carolina Rep. Tim Scott, whom Gov. Nikki Haley said she would appoint to fill the vacancy caused by the pending resignation of Jim DeMint.
The most senior senator was Hawaii's Daniel Inouye, who died at 88 just a few hours after Haley's announcement.
Much has been made of the fact that Scott will be the only black senator and the first black Republican senator since Edward Brooke of Massachusetts, who was elected in 1966 and 1978.
Haley noted that fact and made the point that he was qualified on the merits. He has served only one term in the House, but that's also true of his South Carolina House Republican colleagues except one, who asked that he not be considered for the seat.
Scott also served a term in the South Carolina House and for 13 years on the Charleston County Council. He built a real estate and insurance business in Charleston with both black and white clients. That seems like a good set of experiences to bring to the Senate.
Daniel Inouye started serving his country long before Tim Scott was born. As a teenager, he saw the Japanese bombers over Pearl Harbor and was one of the Japanese-Americans who volunteered for the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the most decorated Army unit in history.
He lost an arm in combat in Italy in April 1945, less than a month before Germany surrendered, and in the army hospital met Bob Dole, whose arm was shattered the same month.
Inouye was elected Hawaii's first congressman when it was admitted to the Union in 1959, the first Japanese-American member of Congress. He won his Senate seat in 1962 and died 17 days short of serving 50 years.
Most Americans today would find it hard to imagine the degree of anti-Asian prejudice in the early years of his career. Inouye attended a segregated public school, and U.S. immigration laws effectively barred Asians from entry.
Japanese-Americans on the West Coast were rounded up and placed in internment camps. Such things were largely taken for granted and widely approved.
In contrast, today one has to look very hard for signs of anti-Asian animus in American life. The only significant discrimination practiced against people of Asian descent is by admissions officers at selective colleges and universities, who worry about an Asian "tilt" because so many have sterling high school records.
Such a change in attitudes took a generation or so. It has been so thorough that most of us don't realize that it occurred.
The appointment of Tim Scott reminds us that there has been an enormous change in non-black Americans' attitudes toward blacks, as well.
Scott may have been appointed to the Senate. But to win his House seat, he had to win votes from an overwhelmingly white and conservative primary electorate.
In the process, he beat Carroll Campbell III, son of the late Gov. Carroll Campbell Jr., and Paul Thurmond, son of the late Strom Thurmond, who served 48 years in the Senate.
That's the Strom Thurmond who was the States' Rights Democratic Party candidate for president in 1948 and who set the record for longest Senate filibuster when he spoke 24 hours against a civil rights bill in 1957.
Scott is not the first black Republican elected to the House from a majority-non-black district. Gary Franks won such a seat three times in Connecticut in the 1990s, and J.C. Watts won one in Oklahoma between 1994 and 2000. Allen West won a seat in Florida in 2010 but was narrowly defeated for re-election.
Republican primary voters also selected the Hispanic Sen. Marco Rubio in Florida and Sen.-elect Ted Cruz in Texas. They voted for the offspring of immigrants from India, Govs. Bobby Jindal in Louisiana and Nikki Haley in South Carolina.
And of course Barack Obama has now twice been elected president. I think he was helped by widespread feelings that it would be a good thing for Americans to elect a black president and a bad thing to reject him. That's subject to debate, and surely some voters voted against him because of his race.
But on balance we have seen an enormous reduction in racial prejudice and animus in recent generations. Daniel Inouye's death and Tim Scott's appointment remind us that in that important respect it's good we're not the way we were.

Right out of the bag, these pants were comfortable, neat and professional looking. It would be nice if they were a little longer to wear with higher heels. I am considering another pair in a different color - they feel great.
Don't go by the picture -

The reviews are lauditory and the picture shows the model with her right hand in a pocket. However, there are no pockets! Neither the description nor the reviews mention the missing pocket, so I was totally surprised to discover that there are none. If pockets are important to you, as they are to me, skip these pants even though they fit well, appear to be washable, and are light-weight enough to wear for spring and fall, maybe even summer.

Perfect Fit -
By: Nana120 from Bastrop, TX
Love these dress slacks and they fit well. I am someone who has difficulty finding a fit in both hips & waist and these pants do it in a flattering way. I would like it if this fit came in a heavier fabric for winter, because these are very light weight.
Very asatisfied -

Beautiful fabric. Too wide in the leg and too long, but easily altered. Very satisfied.
Black pants -
By: flapper9 from Florida
I purchased these pants to wear for performances on stage with a group. The size is true, the fit very good and they held up for all 8 performances- without washing-and looked great!. I absolutely recommend Orvis' easy waist bi-stretch trouser. I'm sure that I will wear these proudly for many occasions. I nave been an Orvis buyer for a long time and have always been pleased with my purchases
Oris can do better! -

This pant was very scant on fit and in my view very poorly cut. Not all of us want skin tight dress pants. Plus the fabric is very thin. I ordered this in large and it fit tight. I have many pants and skirts I have ordered from Orvis through the years all in medium and they still fit well?..........
Love these pants -

I love the way these pants fit me. I have long legs and these are the perfect length for me. Plus they are easy care
Classy, classic trousers -
By: purist
Very fine quality trousers - nice styling and great fabric. They can be worn dressy or casual as the occasion requires. Great for travel - they pack well and shed creases easily. Wash and dry beautifully, needing little or no ironing. Overall, they are a very good value.
Nice Slacks -
By: Heidi13 from Pittsburgh PA
These were nice slacks, but too big around the waist, even though they had elastic insets in the waistband. Fit everywhere else. Too bad, I will have to return.
