The mother seen on a YouTube video apparently encouraging her son to fight was arrested Thursday on charges of felony child endangerment, assault, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. She posted the $2,000 bond late Thursday and left the Pottawattamie County Jail.
The video has many wondering why 31-year-old Alisha Hazen of Council Bluffs did not stop the fight that she also is accused of getting involved in. The video got the attention of Council Bluffs police.
Three weeks ago, a seventh-grader and an eighth-grader outside Kreft Primary School in the Lewis Central District fought each other while a number of children watched. No one can understand why the mother stood by and even seemed to get a punch in herself.
The video runs a little longer than two-and-a-half minutes and had more than 600 views on YouTube as of Wednesday evening. It is now evidence in a police investigation.
"There's no cheap shot in fighting," said the student recording the fight as more than a dozen people watched, including the mother of the eighth-grader.
"It made me sick," said the woman who called 911 after seeing it happen. "I don't know how a parent can stand by and watch that happen. I heard a parent telling the kids what to do."
We showed the video to neighbor Julia Davis, who had heard about the fight from her children. "That's the exact opposite of what parents are supposed to be doing. It's really disturbing."
"My nose is already...." said the teenager in the fight.
"He was bleeding and wanted to stop, but his mom said he wasn't stopping," said the woman who called 911. "There's actually a slug at the end of the video." It appears the mom of the bigger kid got a punch in on the seventh-grader and then everyone walked away.
"That's a little disturbing that a mother is not stopping the fight, but egging it on," said Davis.
According to the arrest warrant, witnesses told investigators that Hazen escorted her son to the school across the street from their apartment where the fight took place, and said that she would "bet" on her son that he was going to win.
The 13-year-old student who videotaped the fight told detectives that the mom told her son to pull his opponent's hair and punch him. He also says he witnessed her punching the other boy.
"Disappointed but not surprised," said Kerry Beldin, a UNO assistant professor of social work, who thought immediately about all the youngsters watching and cheering it on.
"Knowing that there is a parent and an adult present and that they aren't intervening -- I think it sends a message to children that if there's not a reason for an adult to intervene, then there probably isn't reason for a child to intervene."
She hopes the criminal charges send a message that this violence is serious business.
Experts we talked with said this would be a good time to share your beliefs and expectations with your children if they should ever find themselves in a similar situation.
Research has shown -- parent attitudes are a strong predictor as to whether children will be violent.
Child endangerment is a felony. If convicted, Hazen could face up to 5 years in prison.
On Thursday, YouTube pulled the video saying, "This video has been removed because its content violated YouTube terms of service."

Personal injury attorneys are those who provide legal representation to victims who endured harm both actually or emotionally in a accident due to an action of negligence of another person. They may be injury solicitor or also called accident attorney. Injury lawyer have specific understanding in a form of regulation named tort legislation which relates to municipal misconducts and harms caused to someone else's resources, individual privileges and social position. It's important to understand how to proceed at the moment that is proper when injuries happen. At the job of injury attorneys, a basic look will be obtained in this post when you, your loved ones, co-workers take part in a collision.
Injury lawyers allow you to make promises when severe injuries were sustained by you during a collision. But when using a collision lawyer, you should make certain that such one is effective at managing your situation efficiently. One method to learn is by asking just how several circumstances the attorney has managed efficiently. Injury attorneys should be huge so they don't drop the situation in terms of the use of tort regulations.
In Summary, it is a good idea when you sustained severe injuries throughout a collision to use the assistance. This may allow you to claim the cash allocated to auto repairs and medical cures where suitable back. There are a number of injury attorneys in Texas who can provide solutions that are special in case of a collision (or visit vancouverinjury.com for more information).
Injury lawyers help folks who endured accidents to get promises for therapy particularly in an instance where there's a disagreement about who would be to be fault in the injury and whether severe injuries were sustained by the individuals associated with the injury. Although occasionally, when a collision occurs like that, internal injuries that are serious may not be apparent till repeated trips are made by casualties with their physicians. That is when injuries were sustained by casualties where follow-up appointments is needed.
Those who sustained injuries in an automobile that isn't covered -covered, there may be a must employ injury attorneys following the event as quick as possible. It is because those who possess such automobiles several not need to spend and there might be small time available to start legal action. Some insurance contract also made casualties who sustained injuries in a uninsured car to arrive at a reasonable stage within 60-days after the injury it compulsory. In this instance, the individual that is wounded must use a collision attorney's support to assist waste the situation before the day that is terminated.
Nevertheless, accident casualties should ask two questions that are important before personal injury attorneys that are selecting. The primary one would be to understand maybe not or whether accident victims will be joyful using the assistance of a collision lawyer. The 2nd one is the attorney used to manage the case's resolution. Most personal injury attorneys charge-up to.

C.131/36. (d-f-e) International Solidarity Fund.
Report of Delegation to Spain, September 10th to 21st, 1936.
In a preliminary report on the International Solidarity Fund and Spain, drawn up on September 4th, 1936 (C.124/36) attention was drawn to difficulties which had been encountered by the administrators of the Fund in ascertaining the needs of the Spanish comrades and establishing adequate contact with them.
On September 10th a delegation left Paris for Madrid with the purpose of attempting to remove these difficulties and especially of forming a committee of the Spanish Socialist Party and the General Union of Workers (U.G.T.) to organise the relief work in Spain itself. The delegation was composed of George Stolz, Assistant Secretary of the I.F.T.U., Jean Delvigne, Belgian member of the Executive and Administrative Committee of the L.S.I. and John Price of the Secretariat of the L.S.I.
The delegation left Paris by train for Toulouse on the evening of September 10th, proceeded from Toulouse to Alicante by air on September 11th, and reached Madrid on the evening of that date after journeying from Alicante by train. Stolz and Delvigne left Madrid on the evening of September 15th and Price on the evening of September 18th.
At practically all the interviews with Spanish comrades the delegation was accompanied by Comrade Nenni, who had been in the country since his arrival there with de Brouckere at the beginning of August, and had thereby obtained a knowledge of the situation and the people which was most useful to the delegation in the accomplishment of its task. Comrade Nenni also accompanied the members of the delegation on their visit to the front on Sunday, September 13th, when they spent the morning in the Talavera-Santa Olalla sector and the afternoon in Toledo.
The first task of the delegation was to visit the offices of the organisations affiliated to the two Internationals. Their first conversation took place with the comrades of the Spanish General Union of Workers (U.G.T.) and especially with the Assistant Secretary, Pascual Tomas. Agreement was reached here on the formation of a Spanish relief committee. During this interview Stolz also discussed the question of the special meeting of the General Council of the I.F.T.U. for which the Spanish Trade Unions had asked. September 23rd was chosen as the date for the meeting, and in preference to the original suggestion by Pascual Tomas that the meeting should be held in Geneva a proposal by Stolz that it should be held in Paris was accepted in order that it could be combined with the public meeting desired by the Spanish comrades, thus giving other delegates an opportunity of speaking. The translator at this interview was Ogier Preteceille.
During the afternoon the delegation also had a conversation with Manuel Albar at the offices of the Socialist Party. Here, too, there was an agreement as to the formation of the committee, and it was now only necessary to obtain the consent of the competent bodies to the election of the necessary representatives.
A further task Of the delegation was to visit Largo Caballero, General Secretary of the U.G.T. and Prime Minister, and Indalecio Prieto, Minister for Marine and Air. The delegation brought letters to these comrades from Comrade Adler, who is administering the International Solidarity Fund in the absence of Comrade Schevenels in America. The delegation also drew the attention of

PSA Peugeot Citroen, Bosch working on compressed-air, battery-free hybrid
by Danny King (RSS feed) on Jan 26th, 2013 at 5:05PM
Nike single-handedly popularized the term "swoosh." If a new and unexpected project works out as planned, PSA Peugeot Citroen might do the same with "whoosh." PSA Peugeot Citroen is working on a drivetrain that would hybridize a conventional engine with compressed air in one of the automaker's B-segment compact hatchbacks. The vehicle, which could go into production as soon as 2016, would include a hydraulic pump that allows the car to run in all-gasoline, all-air or combined (aka "hybrid air") modes. The system, which is being developed with Bosch, could offer more than 80 miles per... Read More

Epilepsy is a central nervous system disorder (neurological disorder) in which the nerve cell activity in your brain is disturbed, causing a seizure during which you experience abnormal behavior, symptoms and sensations, including loss of consciousness.
Seizure symptoms vary. Some people with epilepsy simply stare blankly for a few seconds during a seizure, while others repeatedly twitch their arms or legs.
About 1 in 100 people in the United States may have an unprovoked seizure once in life. However, a solitary seizure doesn't mean you have epilepsy. At least two unprovoked seizures are generally required for an epilepsy diagnosis.
Even mild seizures may require treatment because they can be dangerous during activities such as driving or swimming. Treatment, which generally includes medications or sometimes surgery, may eliminate or reduce the frequency and intensity of seizures. Some children with epilepsy even outgrow the condition with age.

"I ordered a set of these photo cards and just received them. These cards exceeded my expectations. The paper quality is fantastic and the colors are vivid. They look much better than your typical card on photo paper."
"I was hesitant to order cards from a website but was VERY pleasantly surprised! The cards are high quality (and we did not order any add-ons). The paper is high quality, the printing is perfect and the envelopes are thick and sturdy. The cards arrived in an oversized box so that they would not get damaged during shipping. We are extremely happy!"
"Loved everything about this card, especially the verse and the traditional red and white color for Christmas! The only thing I would do differently is choose photos that were cropped or taken closer up for the three bottom boxes, as they printed smaller than I expected. Use the sample pics as a guide and you'll be fine."
"This was our second order from Tiny Prints and just like with the first one, I am absolutely satisfied. The cards were beautiful and the quality of the photo print allowed for the photo to remain intact."

Grid Futures
Evolutionary directions for electric system architecture.
the wish lists or drawing boards of utilities and system operators. As a result of this stand-off, there's an increasing scarcity of transmission capacity. This scarcity is acute for system operators in the context of technical control, where thermal limits and stability constraints leave a shrinking range of options for operating the system in a secure "N-1" state— i.e., with reserves sufficient throughout the system to accommodate the loss of any one component at any time. In the context of electricity markets, the same scarcity is observed in the form of geographic price differentials or congestion charges.
If any growth in electric demand is to be sustained at a level of power quality and reliability comparable to that enjoyed at present, and if the present shift to carbon-free generation resources is to continue, some expansion of the T&D system seems inevitable. But arguably there are two fundamentally distinct options for how T&D architecture and operations can grow to accommodate electric customers' needs: either by traditional build solutions—that is, investment in wires, towers, poles and power plants—or by new and improved T&D functionalities which, through relatively small or novel material, control or software additions, extract new performance from existing hardware and real estate.
This brings the analysis to a critical pair of assertions: First, the ability to physically build out the T&D system by adding significant amounts of copper, steel and aluminum will be primarily affected by public policies and social acceptance. Second, T&D functionalities will be primarily affected by availability, costs, and adoption rates of new technologies. Not coincidentally, these two sets of drivers—in shorthand, policy and technology—are the most uncertain among the broader set of exogenous factors considered above.
Again, isolating technology and policy as mutually unrelated factors is a gross simplification. Nevertheless, the respective correlations expressed in the above assertions—traditional T&D build-out with policy, and new T&D functionality with technology—are both sufficiently strong and sufficiently separable from each other to permit the two pairs to be graphed in orthogonal directions for purposes of the scenario-analysis exercise. Thus two axes are constructed: In the horizontal direction, a continuum illustrates how much new technology is available. At the left end, a paucity of technological development—or adoption—means that T&D functionalities are improved only in small increments, if at all. At the right end, significant technological innovations enable a paradigm shift in new T&D functionalities. In the vertical direction, a continuum illustrates policy, which at the bottom resists and at the top promotes the construction of traditional T&D facilities. The intersection of these two continua, technology and policy, will form the basis for distinguishing future scenarios.
Characterizing the two extremes of each continuum in a bit more detail allows examining the plausibility of each. At the low end of technological development, T&D functionalities would barely improve. The lack of development could be due to intrinsic physical difficulties, excessive risk for T&D owners, operators, investors and regulators, or economic returns that favor incremental improvements over radical innovation or replacement. At the high end, devices and techniques become commercially available and affordable that qualitatively change

David Chernicoff
It's alive and well
Hardware? Ho-hum
Christopher Dawson
Best Argument: It's alive and well
The moderator has delivered a final verdict.
Opening Statements
Hardware is what makes it possibleDavid Chernicoff: No matter how interesting software is, or how exciting the user experience becomes, without continued innovation in hardware technologies, software will begin to stagnate. Consumers demand, and vendors promise, impovements with each generation of product, and the only way to meet those continued demands is for the hardware to continually improve to exceed the demands of the next generation of software.
Hardware and software existing in a symbiotic relationship, with each step, on either side, driving the other forward to build something bigger and better. Momentary ascendance of either side doesn't mean that the other is in permanent descent. Regardless of the software technology, the underlying hardware is what makes it possible.Every major consumer software advance has become possible because of the underlying hardware. The implicit competition between hardware and software brings out the best in innovation on both sides. And that is not going to change anytime soon.
Merely a matter of preference
Chris Dawson: As the world moves online, hardware has become nothing more than a religion. I tend to use Macs because I like the OS and the hardware takes the abuse I give it. On the other hand, I'm writing this on a PC in a web browser. I could just as easily dictate it on my Droid. Even in the enterprise, there is a general move to the cloud or cheap clusters of generic servers.
While there will always be a place for high-end hardware and pushing the performance envelope, the vast majority of what we do is now far more dependent on an Internet connection than on 8 cores of processing power or the latest version of Windows running on a Wintel system. How users access the web -- whether it be from a mobile device, a speedy Macbook, a Chromebook, or a DIY desktop -- has become a matter of preference.

Moving on from last season's digitally printed silks and Louis XIV inspired powdered wigs, design duo Bruno Basso and Christopher Brooke came up trumps yesterday with their collection of ruffled silk dresses and metallic separates. Inspired by the rich visuals of Jeff Koons and Herb Ritts, the pieces were described as raw neo-pop creations which combined hyper-realistic retro prints and darker contemporary undertones.
Basso and Brooke's Spring/Summer girl is decidedly sexier than the pastel colour palettes of old might suggest, with slicked-back hair and dark berry lips complementing vibrant explosions of fuchsias, oranges and blues. The pared down silhouettes were testament to the new season's real wearability, with easily commercialised strapless cinched-in dresses and sheer panelled fitted shifts making their way down the catwalk to rapturous applause (FROWer extraordinaire and ex-Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams was a huge fan.) Highlights included a pair of metallic black harem jumpsuits and sculpted gold lame jacket, an asymmetric printed shift with sheer nude panelling, and the two silk georgette finale pieces that combined a sharp silhouette with fluid folds of double organza at the bust. A strong collection to lead us into a new season, and one which really made its mark on an impressive London Fashion Week roster.

Content Standards
All children . . . rise easily to the common level. There the mass stop; strong minds only ascend higher. But raise the standard, and, by a spontaneous movement, the mass will rise again and reach it.
--Horace Mann's First Annual Report (1837)
In 1993, Alaskans embarked on a campaign to bring higher standards and accountability to their public school system. The cornerstone of this effort was the development of content standards in ten core subject areas. The standards represent what Alaskans want students to know and be able to do as a result of their public schooling.
This booklet presents the content standards and their associated key elements for English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, Government and Citizenship, Skills for a Healthy Life, Arts, World Languages, and Technology.
During 1994 and 1995, the Alaska State Board of Education adopted these standards and key elements as voluntary guidelines for Alaska's schools.
Scores of Alaskans--educators, parents, business people, and professionals, from all areas of the state--worked together to develop and refine the standards. Before adopting them, the Board of Education heard comments from hundreds of other Alaskans about what they liked and disliked in the standards.
Even before the last set of standards was adopted in December, 1995, teams of educators were working on curriculum frameworks, plans for how to teach the new standards and how to integrate them into the classroom. Another team examined assessment issues, answering the critical question: "How will we know if students are reaching the standards?"
These standards are already defining the way Alaska approaches education issues. The focus has shifted from what goes into our education system to what comes out of it. The standards will accomplish three primary goals:
- Standards will give students and teachers a clear and challenging target.
- Standards will help focus energy and resources on the bottom line: student achievement.
- Standards will give all of us a tool for judging how well our students are learning and how well our schools are performing.

Tatiana Nikolayeva – Tchaikovsky
APR5666 Download only
Movement 1: Quasi Rondo: Andante mosso
Track 4 on CDA67711/2 CD1 [15'31] 2CDs
Movement 2: Contrastes: Andante cantabile
Track 5 on CDA67711/2 CD1 [12'48] 2CDs
The second movement is even more determinedly odd, and Tchaikovsky felt it needed the title 'Contrastes', as a signal to the public that the normal rules were in abeyance. It begins as a standard slow movement, with a beautiful Italianate theme, perhaps a gondolier's song. But the song is interrupted by fast dance music with a tambourine beat in the background, forming the first of the advertised contrasts, in tempo, metre and key. The song returns, and then the dance once again, in almost cinematic cuts, prompting us to imagine some kind of carnival scene. This striking design and the abundance of virtuosity might have fitted well with d'Albert's showmanship, but Tchaikovsky's chosen pianist was once again unavailable to premiere the piece and the trusty Taneyev successfully filled the breach.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - A judge has denied former Anne Arundel County Executive John Leopold's motion for a new trial.
The Capital of Annapolis reports (http://bit.ly/VUMyOW) that retired Circuit Court Judge Dennis Sweeney denied the motion on Wednesday, saying the grounds were without merit.
Sweeney convicted Leopold of misconduct in office last month, and Leopold resigned days later. He is scheduled to be sentenced March 14.

Dublin locals share their perfect day in their home city
We asked three in-the-know characters living in Dublin, what would be a perfect day in the city.
Sports journalist Peter Carroll shares his favourite beach, dinner and match in the city.
"The early bird catches the worm as far as Dublin goes. You can't beat an early morning stroll through the beautiful Phoenix Park. I love the peace and quiet, as well as the meandering deer.
"Only two minutes away is the hustle and bustle of the city, and my favourite dish and classic Dublin comfort food: coddle. Steaming hot Dublin coddle is a house specialty in the Stag's Head pub. After a hearty bowl, it's across the road and into the arts hub of the city, Temple Bar. I could spend hours here listening to the street musicians.
"Next I hop on the train north, to take in the breathtaking views and lulling sounds of Loughshinny near Skerries. The beach is famous locally for its smugglers' cave used in the 18th century. If the weather is nice, I'll head back to Dollymount Strand to witness the water sports of the brave souls, and chat with fellow onlookers.
"On an ideal Sunday, I'd head to Drumcondra and immerse myself in the pride and passion of Gaelic games at the Mecca of our national sports, Croke Park. After the match I'll tackle one of the surrounding pubs, such as McGrath's for the Guinness, or Quinn's for a singsong. Live traditional music never fails to rattle my bones.
"Dublin doesn't have to try very hard to impress, just being there is enough."

Anatomy of a high-speed car crash, continued.
By July 9, 2013 / Photos by Getty Images
When I first started in New Yorks Collision Reconstruction Unit 19 years ago, starts Lieutenant Dan Bates, who now supervises said 76-person department for the state, wed see that if you hit a solid object, like a house or a tree, youd stand a good chance of dying if you were traveling at around 20 miles per hour. Now, were seeing survivors even above 40 miles per hour.
Thats the end of the good news from Lt. Bates.
He explains what the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has seen in the lab and from evidence provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) examining thousands of deadly accidents.
You almost never hit an object squarely, Bates continues. "Thats a serious problem, because the primary safety device in the cockpit of your car, besides of course the seatbelt, is the front airbag. When youre going 40 miles per hour, you dont realize youre traveling at 58 feet per second.
Its not just the car traveling that fast, its you, essentially traveling through space at that speed. If your car hits a telephone pole or another car at that velocity, your body will still hurtle forward; meanwhile, the car is decelerating rapidly.
Worse, and most catastrophically, if the impact wasnt square, now the car is starting to rotate, and that rotation is exceedingly harmful, both to your car and to you.
In 2007, the IIHS examined evidence from the NHTSA that showed a very disquieting trend. David Zirby, the IIHSs head research officer, says that their Moderate Overlap Test (where 40 percent of the front of the car engages a solid object) was designed to demonstrate what happens in most head-on accidents. They already knew these collisions were rarely dead-square, but the NHTSA's database showed that when 25 percent or less of the front of the car took the brunt of the impact, the resulting injuries proved disproportionally fatal. Although a bit reductive, the IIHSs findings suggest that the less the front of the car is involved, the more deadly the accidents are. Think sideswipes rather than head-ons. Think telephone pole or tree, smacked with just one headlight, but at a high speed.
These were accidents that almost didnt happen, Zirby says.
To figure out what was going on, the IIHS devised its own tests, which eventually became the Small Overlap Test, first used systematically throughout the U.S. fleet in 2012.
The IIHSs findings started to reveal, as far back as 2007, that these accidents were deadly because cars safety cells were designed as secondary accident mitigation. Its the opposite of NASCAR, where an entire safety cell is built to withstand the violence, even if the front of the car breaks away. Passenger cars arent made that way, and these offset wrecks were showing why thats so dangerous.
Lets say a car hits a telephone pole off-center, with only 25 percent of one side of the bumper striking first. At the moment of initial impact, the frame railswhich essentially stick out from the firewall as extensions of the frameare too far inboard of the impact to be engaged.
Missing the frame rails results in less deceleration time and a far more violent stop. Just 40-50 milliseconds more deceleration time can be the difference between life and death, says Christopher Puckett, accident analyst for Digits LLC and is a former state trooper for New Yorks CRU.
Only a quarter of the mass ahead of the safety cell remains to absorb the impact, and thats not enough. The impact then pushes right through the front wheel, driving the suspension backwards. Depending on the vehicle and its speed, this could collapse the steering column, buckle the A pillar (pushing it back toward the driver or front passenger), and if the accident is severe enough, begin to crimp the door frame, front floor section, and door rail.
If all of the above happened, you might still have decent odds of surviving. After running his own tests in the lab and researching NHTSA photographic evidence reports, Zirby has found that partial overlap accidents introduce rotational force.
Rotation makes you miss the airbag. Heres why: Youre now moving sideways relative to the car. When we slow down the film, we see the crash-test dummies miss or slide off the airbag. [The dummy] hits the A-pillar or the IP (instrument panel). Zirby claims that if the steering column is engaged in the impact, it can make matters even worse. The steering wheel takes off right, and the dummy takes off left.
All of this is happening with your body still flying forward, maybe at 50 feet per second or more. The airbags blow, but youre heading away from them, in most instances, toward either the center of the vehicle, or the A-pillar, or a window. Youre missing the airbags entirely. Meanwhile the cars corners are caving in toward the front passengers.
It seems like several times a year we get to a car crash and someone is walking around outside the car, alive, and then they go home and die, says Bates. The cause is a tear in an internal organ or vessel. Theyre bleeding out from the force of the crash," Bates continues. He advises that anyone whos experienced a serious car accident should go to the hospital immediately, despite feeling perfectly fine.
This kind of damage is more common for passengers who arent belted, Bates explains, because theyre more likely to be exposed to even greater deceleration. Either way, the rotation of the vehicle plays a role, and so does the ricochet off the solid object, which contributes to what Zirby calls violent yawing.
Its not uncommon for the car to have the initial impact and then spin backwards off the road or into another car or stationary object, Zirby says. Theyve also seen seats break free from their moorings, or hit the dummy in the back of the head on the ricochet off the solid barrier, causing even more carnage.
Arnold Wheat, an ex-CRU officer with more than 30 years of experience for both Colorado and New York and author of several studies on car accidents, says that most of what you see is grimly obvious: A head strikes against the A-pillar, the window glazing, the steering wheel, or the dash.
Conspiracy theorists probably dont want to hear it, but Puckett says hes seen all sorts of mechanical combustions, from engine ejections to vehicle fires to cars sawed in half by stationary objects. The engine is hot, Puckett says. There are any number of fluids that can ignite, and Im sorry to say that [that] isnt indicative of foul play.
Wheat, Zirby, and Bates also corroborate Puckett's conclusion; cars traveling at a high velocity slamming into hard objects arent really designed to prevent such violent ends. While engine ejections and explosions arent necessarily the norm, they arent as rare as most of us would guess.
I think weve become complacent, where we think all this technology is going to save us no matter what, says Bates. But you have to keep in mindthere are crashes that are not survivable.

Employee Handbook is available through the On-Line Store
There are two Employee Handbooks from which to choose, both written expressly for Wisconsin Credit Unions. The Handbook for Credit Unions with 50 or more employees includes a policy on the Family and Medical Leave Acts and incorporates modifications throughout to ensure compliance.
Employee Handbooks offer policies from which to choose, each customizable as applicable to your Credit Union. In addition, there are informative annotations and explanations throughout that discuss the applicable laws and implications of the policies you are customizing as well as practical pointers to guide your choices. Each Credit Union can customize its Employee Handbook according to its own policies - e.g., vacation and sick leave or PTO, how many days a year an employee can be absent, to whom to report certain incidents or ask certain questions. The Employee Handbook will use the Credit Union's name throughout and, if the Credit Union chooses display its logo on the cover. If a Credit Union has a policy that is so different from the usual that it cannot be worked into the model policies provided, it can be customized further for a slight additional cost.
Other benefits of the Employee Handbook include:
When you purchase your Employee Handbook through the On-line Store, you will also automatically receive, for a low annual fee, new and updated policies that will keep your Employee Handbook timely and compliant in the years to come. At any time you can contact The League Services Corp. to change, add or delete a policy from your Handbook. (There may be a consulting fee.)
It's just that simple! For a small initial investment and only a few hours of your time up front, your credit union will always have a complete, up-to-date, fully compliant Employee Handbook.

text: Has anyone discovered the time for the new enrage timer in yesterday's hotfix patch? My guild went into Ulduar-10 for the first time planning for the 6 min enrage timer. Wouldn't be a shocker to us when 7m or so into the fight he dies, without enraging! Obviously thats not something to brag about, but it begs the question on how much time they actually upped the timer by. Also, the Pummelers were being killed by our tanks and general AoE during phase 2...they were never alive long when it went back to phase 1, and thats without dedicated DPS on them (which you shouldn't have for this fight in the first place). Overall it was a nice surprise, and I won't complain, but I would like to know for future reference if anyone has discovered the actual timer on enrage now.

Anyone else think they really buffed the resource nodes? I mean, I can't go 10 yards it seems without an ore node or herb node popping up. I'd like to see more Golden Lotus, but I've gotten 2 Alchemists and a Scribe to 600 using only the herbs gathered by my pally durring leveling and doing dailies; and I have a boatload of herbs to craft with. This has made the professions so much less grindy to level to far.
I'm interested to see the Anglars dailies, my hunter (and DK) is leveled in fishing so I'll take it to unlock the Anglars quests. It's sick, but I want to get the book from Nat Pagle that gives 50 fishing to maybe level my shammy in fishing. I hear it's BoA and you can buy 12 to get to 600 fishing.

How to play YouTube videos became a question to me because flash in Linux is all but abandoned and knowing of flash security concerns. Good news is that most videos now are being converted to WebM (Firefox HTML 5 video) but for some unknown reason I find most of them that the sound won't play. I really enjoyed watching YouTube videos so since I've gone to using
youtube-dl which is a great command line program (there is also
I wrote a wrapper script do that to be able to download a number of varying videos:
youdl youdl "youtube.com/url" # quotes necessary, not spaces
I like
youtube-dl quite a bit too but it takes more setting up. When using
youtube-dl I put these in my
~/.bashrc to simplify the process:
utube-view () { mplayer -cache 200 -really-quiet $(youtube-dl -g --max-quality mp4 "$@" ) }
youtube-viewer directly invokes mplayer:
youtube-viewer "http://youtube.com/video-url"
And it works great! The quotes are necessary to avoid bash interpretation of specialcharacters.
youtube-viewer can also download the video too:

VANCOUVER, Wash., Feb.13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Join Wacom and special guest, artist Von Glitschka, today, February 13th, from 8:30AM to 5:00PM Pacific Standard Time for a special Valentine's Day promotion over Wacom's social media channels - Facebook, Twitter and Google+ - that features hand-made Valentine's cards, drawn for free upon request by Glitschka. Famous for his 5-minute logo creations, Glitschka, armed with a Bamboo Stylus and Adobe Ideas, will be employing his speedy and whimsical drawing techniques to support those who seek help creating a virtual Valentine's card.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130204/SF52627LOGO)
How does it work? Wacom is asking its social media followers to comment on its channels with the name of their loved one and a special interest they might have, using the hashtag, #LoveWacom. For example, one could ask, "I would like to send a Valentine's card to my girlfriend who likes to ski. #LoveWacom. Von Glitschka will then take the request and put together a Valentine's drawing. Wacom's social media team will post the Valentine's on a Facebook album for the user to share with their Valentine. If the number of requests exceeds the production capabilities of Mr. Glitschka, Wacom's talented team of artists are prepared to chip in with some creations of their own should the need arise.

When enterprise IT can spin up large computing instances in just minutes, developers can also design and deploy in small time frames that were unimaginable a few years ago.

After 10 years of incentive regulation, reliability has declined in Ontario. Regulators failed to enforce service-quality standards, and consumers are suffering as a result.
Bringing Customers On Board
Realizing the benefits of smart meters.
behavior and action.
• Education: Utilities must educate customers so they can make more informed decisions based on how the amount and timing of their consumption affects prices. But not every utility truly understands how important it is to develop and execute a communications program that effectively brings this information home to customers and makes their options clear. To this end, any AMI project—already one of the largest and most important undertakings a utility can embark upon—also must include a program-management function specifically focused on the customer experience.
Change management principles and programs often are overlooked or assumed to be less important than technical issues and process re-engineering efforts, but they deserve just as much concentrated leadership and vision.
• Overcoming aversion to change : Although change, flexibility, and acceptance often are regarded as necessary contributors to the advancement of new ideas and technologies, people do not inherently accept change. They often fight it. One of the most prevalent and important challenges to be addressed is the customer experience itself. Move-ins and move-outs are perhaps the most intense customer interactions with the utility (and its fee structure), but for most customers, it is the routine monthly bill cycle that reflects consumption, commodity, and distribution charges—and attracts their interest as cost-conscious consumers.
When AMI comes to town, the customer experience must address basic elements of communication that explain why these changes are needed. Customers need to understand that they are part of both the problem and the solution. How do I take action? What do I need to do to lower my immediate and longer-term costs? What decisions should I be making to help lower my overall costs? An informed consumer is often the best consumer.
Customers who understand how their actions affect anticipated outcomes are in the best position to change and improve the overall situation. But they have concerns beyond the pocketbook that must be addressed as well. Some early focus groups have uncovered concerns about the utility's potential capability to peer into customers' lives, Big Brother-style. Other concerns surround the prospect of giving up control—such as when AMI enables the utility to reduce consumption by turning off equipment, lowering heating settings, or raising air-conditioning settings.
The answer to these concerns lies in other behaviors with which customers are better acquainted. Most people have become comfortable registering for automated bill-pay services through banking institutions to prevent late payments and their associated fees, installing spyware software to run in the background to protect from intrusive and damaging hacking actions, or setting limits for purchases or sales of equity positions with online trading accounts to limit financial exposure. In effect, it is an accepted value proposition that certain technologies and control features can limit exposure to risk, reduce costs, and improve service. The anticipated benefits of AMI and its related technologies aren't all that different from these other scenarios. Even more important, customers who understand them can better understand how their actions ultimately affect their pocketbooks.
In this respect, the situation requires not only a smart consumer but also a smart utility—one

This setup looks like it would be over healing to me, but without knowing your gear situation I could be mistaken.
I keep 4 stacks of lifebloom on tank but frequently let it bloom if he is taking a lot of damage, nice heal there then put it back up.
I don't try to keep tank topped off unless I know I have large healing coming in (Boss fight, heavy pulls).
I don't try to keep the party topped off, they should be fine through normal pulls. If they pull aggro and try to tank they can always be ressed. I am not saying don't heal them, just ignore thier screams to get healed when they are 60%+ health. On a boss fight I try to keep them topped before a special ability. Never use Wildgrowth unless you have more than 3 targets needing heals or you know damage is incoming for the whole party. Same with Rejuv it is not our go-to healing spell like it used to be, great for keeping the swiftmend rolling though I keep it on the tank.
These are a few things I have learned to do after constantly running out of mana. I found this in a guide, modified it a bit for my own play style. I would love to give original author credit but I read so many articles a week I just don't remember.
P.S. Remember to Innervate yourself every time it is off CD in fights, less nom-nom-nom time.
I like what you have if it works for you and doesn't run your mana down. Thanks for sharing!

wish these worked for me I so wished these rugs would have worked for me in my kitchen (I ordered 3 of them) because the orange color and print are gorgeous. But they are so lightweight that we are always tripping over them. Kinda like using a bath towel as a rug. If they just had more substance to them the rug would be perfect. October 11, 2014
Not durable I purchased this rug on sale in gray and am using it in front of my kitchen sink. It's an attractive rug, however after a couple of weeks of use, the color is lifting off in some areas. Don't bother purchasing, as this rug is not very durable. Such a disappointment. October 8, 2014
Good basic rug This rug is a little smaller than I needed it to be but that was poor measuring on my part. The emerald green adds a nice pop of color to my hallway. September 24, 2014
nice purchase Bought the citrus rug. Looks bright and cheery in my laundry room. Nice quality cotton rug. Will consider buying other colors in the future. September 21, 2014
great rug really like this rug, has a non-slip back that works great to keep it in place. great colors. September 15, 2014
Perfect for Beach House! These rugs are wonderful! I bought 2 runners for my beach home. One was the blue anchor & the other was the orange starfish.
