Nicole4RevivalSaginaw, MIAge: 45-54Gender: female1 Stars Out Of 5Disturbing & lacking in valueFebruary 9, 2014Nicole4RevivalSaginaw, MIAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 1Value: 1Meets Expectations: 1I read almost half of this book and had to throw it in the trash. The graphic details of murders committed by an insane individual were over the top. Although CBD was offering this book, I saw no relation to Christian faith, God's Word or anything that would have redeemed this dark, unprofitable storyline. There was no foul language, but that did not save this book. As believers, we should be careful about what we take into our minds--I saw absolutely no value in this book--I neither learned anything of value nor was I entertained in a fashion that was God-honoring or noble.
KaylaAge: Under 18Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Excellent BookMarch 19, 2012KaylaAge: Under 18Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5The Bride Collector was an excellent book to read. After the first 100 pages, it got really hard to put the book down. Ted Dekker did an amazing job putting the book together, it was a good christian thriller. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes thrillers. It also had a little bit of romance along the way which I admired.

However, I took a chance on this one for some reason and I did truly enjoy it. In fact, I couldn't put the book down after the first few chapters. I'm partial to psychological thrillers as movies to begin with and this was right up my alley. First read from Dekker but if his others are like this, I will be a return reader! Loved it.

AWicher (3rd November 2009)
We have received a letter from Ergo, who provided laptops and a trolley to us a few years ago. The HSE has issued a statement regarding laptop trolleys and their lack of CE marks.
HSE - Services - Education ? Information sources / Guidance - Laptop computer charging trolleys safety alert
Ergo outlined the issues to us in a letter dated the 10th of October.
Firstly the trolleys do not have a CE mark, which doesn't necessarily make them unsafe but without assurances from the manufacturer, they represent an unquantifiable risk.
Secondly there is a concern raised about the residual voltage on the pins of the plug which could cause a shock.
Thirdly there is a risk of damage to the power cables (being run over for example) which is a particular risk on trolleys using more than one cable.
Lastly the HSE requires all none CE approved trolleys to be operated with earth leakage trips either on the disboard, or the mains plug itself.
Ergos full response is here
Ergo today have sent us a compliance pack, which is basically some cable tidy to wrap around the trolleys cables so they are kept together, and some signs warning of potential dangers. They also advise that all staff are trained in the proper use of the trolley (ie. switch off the plug before unplugging it).
I suspect this all comes from the guy in Bradford who got zapped last Christmas.
Anyone else been contacted? Do you think this is a little over the top, or perhaps an accident waiting to happen?
AWicher (3rd November 2009)
Information will go out to Northants schools this week (if it isn't available already).
Most of the big players are already contacting their customers directly too which is what I am recommending to them too. If any resellers on the site have shipped any trolleys recently then I would suggest getting in touch with the manufacturer for information to send out to your clients.
Hi, LapSafe had a video on their BETT stand regarding this, just saw it posted on their website, certainly shed some light if you are still unsure about the whole thing and why that guy got zapped by the Monarch? trolley. HSE-Trolley-Safety-Update

Fort Worth is launching a review of its master thoroughfare plan aimed at accommodating continued suburban growth and central city redevelopment with a greater variety of streets and more efficient traffic flow.
Longtime Fort Worth businessman, philanthropist and preservationist Holt Hickman died Nov. 15, 2014, at the age of 82.
A key linchpin in the Fort Worth economy, American Airlines Group Inc., is considering sites for a new headquarters, possibly outside the city, the airline's CEO said this morning.
Residents of West Fort Worth's Crestwood Association are trying to block the rezoning of a small apartment complex at White Settlement Road and North Bailey Avenue to make way for a planned office building, saying it would represent the start of commercial encroachment into their neighborhood.
Rarely does Golf Digest make the news. Leave it to Dan Jenkins to change that.
The Smart Lens prototype. Photo courtesy of Alcon.
Swiss drug maker Novartis Group said July 15 that its eye care unit, Fort Worth-based Alcon, will join with a division of Google Inc. to develop and market a smart contact lens for all ocular medical uses.
The smart lens technology involves non-invasive sensors, microchips and other miniaturized electronics that are embedded within contact lenses.
Google's new smart lens technology has the potential to help diabetic patients manage their body's glucose and help people with presbyopia to restore their eyes' natural autofocus on near objects.
"We are looking forward to working with Google to bring together their advanced technology and our extensive knowledge of biology to meet unmet medical needs," said Novartis CEO Joseph Jimenez. "This is a key step for us to go beyond the confines of traditional disease management, starting with the eye."
Under the new agreement, Google[x], a team within Google, will bring its expertise in miniaturized electronics, microfabrication and low power chips, while Alcon will provide the medical know-how in physiology and visual performance of the eye as well as commercialization of contact and intraocular lenses.
The transaction remains subject to anti-trust approvals.
The three Alcon businesses – surgical, pharmaceutical and vision care – generated net sales of $10.5 billion in 2013. Alcon has more than 25,000 employees worldwide, with operations in 75 countries and products available in 180 markets.

Activists gathered in the Vatican during the first world meeting of popular movements gave Pope Francis a letter asking him to encourage President Obama to release the three members of the Cuban Five remaining in US prisons. The letter stressed urgency in the hope that Gerardo Hernández, Ramón Labañino and Antonio Guerrero could be home to be with their love ones for the upcoming holiday season.
"We can try to find a solution to our differences through a respectful dialogue and cooperation in areas of common interest. We can live and deal with each other in a civilized way, despite our differences," stressed Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, during a voting at the UN on a Resolution presented by Cuba that askes that the U.S. end its economic sanctions against the island.
During the meeting, Ban Ki-moon renewed his appreciation for Cuba's response to the fight against the Ebola outbreak.
What Lies Across the Water: The Real Story of the Cuban Five has won the 2014 Evelyn Richardson Award for Nonfiction at Canada's East Coast Literary Awards. During the acceptance ceremony in Halifax, author Stephen Kimber — a professor of journalism at the University of King's College and award-winning author of nine other books — said he had come upon the story accidentally as a journalist, but is now also an advocate for their freedom.
Kimber dedicated the award to the three members of the Five still imprisoned in the United States.

I'm not sure if there is a connection here, but my grandfather's first name is NEMER and he was born in Raschaya (Rachaiya) around 1888 and move to US in 1905. His last name was registered as KALEEL in Ellis Island, but as I'm researching, I'm finding there may be discrepencies with his last name. I don't have any news that leads this family to Mexico, but I do have info on other relative surnames from lebanon that went to South American and Canada. Would like to know what you are finding out, perhaps there is a connection here.

Email us! or call 248-785-3614
Somewhere in the world right now, we really hope that Bill Cosby is sipping on some eggnog and smiling at this amazing trend he started. Who knows, hopefully he's even surfing our website for yet another Ugly Christmas Sweater to add to his endless collection which he made famous in the 80's. I know what you're thinking: WHY?! The truth of the matter, however, is that Ugly Christmas Sweaters have made an awesome comeback (yes, the fact that they exist at all means that they were popular at some point). In essence, Ugly Xmas Sweaters are back with a vengeance.
Here at Ugly Christmas Sweaters, we got your every need and want for a standout, one-of-a-kind ugly Christmas sweater covered (and we mean fully covered as in, we even have leggings). We are your premier choice for these fashion misfits; this collective thorn in the side of fashion apparel orthodoxy. The bottom line is that you would be hard pressed to find a better selection of these ugly sweaters anywhere; our sweaters are unmatched when it comes to tackiness and even naughtiness! We actually love these sweaters, we admit.
Are you the traditional type, looking for your standard tacky sweater with a picture of Santa? Or perhaps you're more the social type, and want a bunch of frolicking reindeer splashed all over your fun, fashion mistake? Maybe you're the classic type, and are looking for something with a vintage feel? We got that too! Hey, we even look out for any pyros out there and offer sweaters that light up (we don't condone starting fires in any way, unless it's for roasting S'mores or snugging up near a fireplace and watching A Christmas Story). Ok, ok, I hear you, you don't really buy into the actual ugly sweater thing, but you think the idea is fun; if only they were a bit more edgy and…naughty? Well guess what, we have something for you too. These edgy holiday sweaters range from humping reindeer, to a stripper pole sweater, to a grossly underweight Santa Claus. We even have one with Christmas tree ornaments with only the word "Balls" on it. We've even got sport-themed and 3D sweaters. What else can you ask for? Even the that scrooge in your family will be happy to know that we've got sweaters under $26. We've even got leggings and ugly sweater kits.
The fact of the matter is that when you're getting ready to go to that Ugly Christmas Sweater party or contest (both of which are now wildly popular) you're going to need to make an entrance that people will remember. Despite the fact that many of us are haunted by Christmases past when we were given an ugly sweater for a present (instead of that transforming robot, action figure or video game that we made clear was what we really wanted), the ugly sweater has made a special comeback into our adult lives. Remember how much you dreaded your mom or dad wearing one of these sweaters? Well now it's time to rock an ugly Christmas sweater that would make even the Grinch crack a smile and Scrooge spend few bucks. Christmas falls on a Tuesday this year is neither here nor there. Nevertheless the pre-Christmas weekend (Dec 22-23) will be full of Ugly Christmas Sweater parties runs. And don't forget, National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day is on Friday, December 12, 2014, so why not shock everyone with that humping reindeer sweater? Or simply get your swag on with our "filthy animal" sweater, which is a great ice breaker at a party. If that's not your thing, then we also have a large selection of more traditional ugly Christmas sweaters with snowflakes, Santa, and holiday tackiness. Want to go the extra mile? Check out our 3D Ugly Sweaters!
Update - Posted on Nov 12, 2014
Christmas 2014 is almost here and the Ugly Christmas Sweater phenomenon is bigger than ever with no end in sight! Are you ready for an unprecedented number of Ugly Christmas Sweater parties and other events? Ready to watch as even 2013's most stubborn holdouts actually give in and start showing off their Ugly Christmas Sweaters? We certainly are and have a whole new line of sweaters with whole new themes! We have gone where no Ugly Sweater has dared go before. And of course, we still have our inappropriate North Pole sweater and a line of cheap ugly Christmas sweaters (sweaters under $26) for those of you Scrooges on a tight Holiday budget. So check out our line of xmas sweaters. As the leading Ugly Christmas Sweater provider we've been featured on several major news outlets including the NY Times, USA Today and Trend Hunter. So what are you waiting for? Get your ugly on because we're bringing ugly back!
Here at UglyChristmasSweater.com, we truly believe that beauty is in the eye of the beer holder, or the very least, the beholder (admittedly, some of these ugly sweaters actually have aesthetic appeal to those with beer goggles). With these sweaters, that beauty is expressed through the the sheer joy and laughter these Christmas sweaters inspire. Purposely tacky and often naughty (yet still classy!) these Christmas sweaters have earned their rightful place as part of our Holiday tradition! These ugly sweaters are an intentional eye sore and thumb in the eye of the annoying fashion police, and are sure to instigate stimulating conversations wherever you go--and even boost your chances of winning an xmas sweater contest or at least shine like an ornament at any ugly sweater party or other event. These designs are original and designed with the increasing popularity and trendiness of the ugly sweater in mind, while maintaining that familiar vintage feel that made them popular to begin with. We have taken care to preserve that traditional Christmas sweater feel while adding a few innovations of our own! Among other options, you can go sporty, naughty, 3D or stick to the tried and true laughably horrific ugly sweater patterns.
The line of ugly sweaters and sweatshirts sold at Ugly Christmas Sweater are all top quality and comfortable products that are well-crafted and will keep you warm in the chill of a cold winter--even Santa wears these on occasion. Our goal here at Ugly Christmas Sweater is to provide you with warm, comfortable clothing that is designed to elicit laughs and inspire interesting conversations more than it is designed to impress fashionistas. Having said this, a true fashionista will appreciate the intentional thumb in the eye to typical consumerism and the enjoyment of the holiday for its own sake. It's almost as if these sweaters come with an implicit get out of Jail free card, which the Fashion Police (whoever they are) have no choice but to abide by. We carry all sizes so no matter your arm length, chest width or body length we have a sweater for you!
Here at UglyChristmasSweater.com we really love the holiday season and take the holiday spirit to the nth degree. As far as we are concerned, there is nothing more lovable than an Ugly Christmas Sweater, with its implicit memories as disappointing gifts from grandma or embarrassing parental clothing choices (which somehow Bill Cosby and Chevy Chase were able to pull off!, and likely provided a kindling for these on-fire sweaters).. Whether you're attending an Ugly Sweater party, celebrating Ugly Xmas Sweater Day, or simply attending a family Christmas dinner, you'll want to browse through our large selection of sweaters and sweatshirts. Here at UCS, we create original designs for everyone; whether you're looking for something that has intentionally mismatched colors, silly designs, landscapes that defy the laws of physics if not logic itself, or a sweater that offers a little bit of naughty "adult" humor in its design. If you're looking for ugly Christmas sweater ideas or you're throwing a sweater contest, you've come to the right place. We are your source for all things ugly xmas and have a growing collection of ugly sweater information! Stay tuned as we will be posting more reviews like this on our numerous sweater options. We hope you will find these reviews helpful as we provide more info and guide you through the process of buying an ugly sweater! If you need any information, please let us know and let us help with your decision!
We usually wear holiday clothing because it's the festive, fashionable if not obligatory thing to do. If some truly outlandish-yet-hilarious holiday sweaters or sweatshirts are your cup of eggnog, then UglyChristmasSweater.com will not disappoint, with its bagful of tacky, naughty, funny, 3D, movie-themed and downright goofy collection of sweaters. Ranging from more traditional styles to the truly cheap and schlocky, you won't find a better selection of laughably bad Christmas clothing anywhere else (North Pole included). Spread some real holiday cheer and silly optimism when you don one of these impressive winter sweaters to your next holiday event (including National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day). As were constantly adding new sweaters to our collection, please keep coming back!
Shock humor is one of the more underrated forms of humor out there. Nevertheless, people appreciate it mainly during unexpected times (like the holidays) so go forth and rock your ugly Christmas sweater! These are available in men's and women's sizes, so don't hesitate! Even if you're just curling up into a ball and watching a Christmas Story or any other Holiday favorite, these are ideal for the occasion! Of course, if you're the DIY type, we also have Ugly Christmas Sweater Kits.

Psychologist calls for movie-style ratings for games
A government-ordered investigation into the potential risks of videogames and the internet to children has recommended that computer games be rated like movies. The review has also recommend the creation of a UK internet safety body. Psychologist Dr Tanya Byron's 'Byron Review' has proposed a legally binding system of age …
A sensible debate for once....
... I saw her this morning talking about the ideas and have read her papers. For once a broadly sensible outlook on the whole things firmly saying it is about parents knowing what their kids are doing, knowing what the games contain and making appropriate decisions about what not to allow.
No talk of banning games, no proposals for nanny state regulations on what appears on shop shelves.
I was expecting to snort in a very derisory manner at the TV but didn't. For once someone pointing the finger where it should be pointed. At parents for letting their kids play stuff that simply is not appropriate.
As a parent who is also a gamer I thought it was a pretty positive thing.
This is the best thing that could happen to the gaming industry. If you put a label on something stating that under a certian are not allowed, that is the most likely place you will find it.
Err, isnt this the same
I have some old DOS games with BBFC labels on them...

I selected three different, and Eldon selected three different than I chose. They served the cheese with either nut bread or fruit bread.

DOLAN, JACKIE A growing number of proteins with extracellular leucine-rich repeats (eLRRs) have been implicated in directing neuronal connectivity. We previously identified a novel family of eLRR proteins in mammals: the Elfns are transmembrane proteins with 6 LRRs, a fibronectin type-3 domain and a long cytoplasmic tail. The recent discovery that Elfn1 protein, expressed postsynaptically, can direct the elaboration of specific electrochemical properties of synapses between particular cell types in the hippocampus strongly reinforces this hypothesis. Here, we present analyses of an Elfn1 mutant mouse line and demonstrate a functional requirement for this gene in vivo. We first carried out detailed expression analysis of Elfn1 using a β-galactosidase reporter gene in the knockout line. Elfn1 is expressed in distinct subsets of interneurons of the hippocampus and cortex, and also in discrete subsets of cells in the habenula, septum, globus pallidus, dorsal subiculum, amygdala and several other regions. Elfn1 is expressed in diverse cell types, including local GABAergic interneurons as well as long-range projecting GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons. Elfn1 protein localises to axons of excitatory neurons in the habenula, and long-range GABAergic neurons of the globus pallidus, suggesting the possibility of additional roles for Elfn1 in axons or presynaptically. While gross anatomical analyses did not reveal any obvious neuroanatomical abnormalities, behavioural analyses clearly illustrate functional effects of Elfn1 mutation. Elfn1 mutant mice exhibit seizures, subtle motor abnormalities, reduced thigmotaxis and hyperactivity. The hyperactivity is paradoxically reversible by treatment with the stimulant amphetamine, consistent with phenotypes observed in animals with habenular lesions. These analyses reveal a requirement for Elfn1 in brain function and are suggestive of possible relevance to the etiology and pathophysiology of epilepsy and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

On the one hand, recent reports from Southeast Asia paint a grim picture of reduced malarial parasite susceptibility to artemisinin combination therapies (ACTs), currently the mainstay of antimalarial treatment in most of the world [1]. History has shown us that the protozoal parasite of malaria (Plasmodium), in particular the most lethal human parasite Plasmodium falciparum, is adept at acquiring resistance to the antimalarial drugs that we have deployed [2]. The fall from grace of former stalwarts such as chloroquine and sulphadoxine + pyrimethamine has in this respect been spectacular: in some regions the therapeutic lifespan of the latter has been as little as 5 years [3]. PUBLISHED 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z Anti-disease therapy for malaria: 'resistance proof'? http://hdl.handle.net/2262/72192 Anti-disease therapy for malaria: 'resistance proof'? BOEHM, DANIELA; BELL, ANGUS Antimalarial drugs have in the past fallen prey to resistance and this problem is likely to continue in the future. One approach to developing drugs that might be less prone to resistance might be to target the disease rather than the parasite itself. The rationale for this idea, which has been somewhat developed in antibacterial chemotherapy, is that drugs that can alleviate disease pathogenesis while not compromising the survival, growth or transmission of the pathogen should not exert selective pressure that would encourage the emergence and spread of resistance. This review considers (concentrating on possible interventions at the parasite level) whether such 'anti-disease' therapy could be developed for severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria, and if so whether it might be less prone to resistance. Several anti-adhesive treatments, aiming to reduce the tissue sequestration of P. falciparum-parasitised erythrocytes that is associated with cerebral malaria and other complications, have been investigated as 'adjunctive' therapies. These therapies are however unlikely to be 'resistance proof' because sequestration appears to enhance parasite survival in the host. Severe malarial anaemia is another potentially fatal complication of malaria that results not only from lysis of host erythrocytes by intracellular parasites but to a greater extent from lysis of unparasitised erythrocytes and impaired erythropoiesis. The possibility of therapy interfering with the last of these processes, which may be more 'resistance proof', is discussed in detail. PUBLISHED 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z Positionally biased gene loss after whole genome duplication: evidence from human, yeast, and plant. http://hdl.handle.net/2262/72191 Positionally biased gene loss after whole genome duplication: evidence from human, yeast, and plant. MC LYSAGHT, AOIFE Whole genome duplication (WGD) has made a significant contribution to many eukaryotic genomes including yeast, plants and vertebrates. Following WGD, some ohnologs (WGD paralogs) remain in the genome arranged in blocks of conserved gene order and content (paralogons). However the most common outcome is loss of one of the ohnolog pair. It is unclear what factors, if any, govern gene loss from paralogons. Recent studies have reported physical clustering (genetic linkage) of functionally linked (interacting) genes in the human genome and propose a biological significance for the clustering of interacting genes such as co-expression or preservation of epistatic interactions. Here we conduct a novel test of a hypothesis that functionally linked genes in the same paralogon are preferentially retained in cis after WGD. We compare the number of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) between linked singletons within a paralogon (defined as cis-PPIs) with that of PPIs between singletons across paralogon pairs (defined as trans-PPIs). We find that paralogons in which the number of cis-PPIs is greater than that of trans-PPIs are significantly enriched in human and yeast. The trend is similar in plants, but it is difficult to assess statistical significance due to multiple, overlapping WGD events. Interestingly, human singletons participating in cis-PPIs tend to be classified into "response to stimulus". We uncover strong evidence of biased gene loss after WGD which further supports the hypothesis of biologically significant gene clusters in eukaryotic genomes. These observations give us new insight for understanding the evolution of genome structure and of protein interaction networks. PUBLISHED 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Thrilling, disturbing ride through the imagination
The Engagement
By Chloe Hooper
Simon & Schuster, 208 pages, $29
"Every real prostitute must know that the dullest clients have the deepest fantasies; the most wholesome are also the most dangerous."
So writes the talented Australian novelist and Columbia University Fulbright Scholar Chloe Hooper in her slender second novel, a tightly plotted, suspenseful and sexually charged exploration of the malleability of identity and the subjective nature of reality.
Mirage becomes actuality as two characters push the limits of masquerade. Hooper's first endeavour was shortlisted for the Orange Prize; this second one should be a winner.
Featuring the disenchanted, indebted English architect Liese Campbell in flight from a career designing boring apartment suites, The Engagement delves deeply into the human psyche.
Liese, in effect, redesigns her own identity, as she lands in Melbourne and begins to work for her uncle in his estate agency, showing prospective clients through the same type of dreary, humdrum highrise suites as the ones she had depicted in England.
It is while showing a client around that Liese realizes the extent to which she can bend her personality: through bedding potential renters. This is where the trouble and suspense begin. Livening up the rental properties' depressing décor with local farmer Alexander Colquhoun, the inventive and indebted Liese reshapes herself into a prostitute of sorts, attracted to the money, as wealthy Alex assumes payment is required for living out his fantasies time and again.
Gradually, Alex becomes more and more possessive and controlling -- or does he? Herein lies the key feature of Campbell's story: whose version of reality is authentic?
Liese begins to believe that "all the soothing stories of girlhood" had sprung up "like so many seeds waiting for a fire to germinate them." Graphic, bawdy, coarse anonymous letters begin to arrive, detailing Liese's supposed sexual escapades, beginning in adolescence, in England.
Accurate in their description of her family home and its surroundings, the letters may or may not be telling a truth of which Liese has no memory.
Alex and Liese satisfy parts of one another in more than the physical sense, as their mutual fantasies intersect, blend and contrive an alternate reality in which he can "own" her, she can become someone else and the outside world can disappear. Liese begins living with Alex in his once-grand rural home and the two become even deeper entrenched in their erotic chimera.
Hooper is skilled at depicting imagination's range and power. One never knows if Liese's frightening version of events is objectively true, or if Alex is simply a man with grip on reality wanting a live-in prostitute with whom to pursue his sexual proclivities.
Alex, however, also seems to want a companion, cooking Liese dinners, albeit unappetizing ones of animal livers and other entrails, and taking her on walks around his, now dilapidated, family estate.
Australia's landscape is a backdrop to the affair, as Hooper depicts both the grandeur and the desolation inherent in the land. Areas in which "[a] giant bulldozer or lava flow could have passed through once" alternate with "deep purple" grassland, mountains and remnants of a countryside that 300 million years ago was inland sea. Hooper takes us through lush, almost tropical, locales and parched, abandoned inhospitable ones, as Alex takes Liese on a tour of his homeland.
By turns thrilling and disturbing, The Engagement is a wild ride through the imagination and its power to craft a kaleidoscope of alternate realities.
Elizabeth Hopkins is a Winnipeg writer.

What do you do about an employee who is actively job searching/interviewing and saying that she's going to give her two weeks notice but hasn't actually done so?
It's nice that your employee feels comfortable enough to share her plans with her coworkers and with you, but once an employee makes clear that she would rather be working
One of my best servers gets complaints about body odor. I've casually mentioned it to him, and he says he uses deodorant, but it's clearly not working. Any ideas on how to broach this without offending him? Or if he doesn't fix it do I have cause to fire him? He definitely stinks especially later in the shift so it's a real concern.
While it may sound funny, body odor can definitely ruin a dining experience since most flavor comes to us via the nose.
We typically come in early to get a jump on prep if we can. It just makes for a less stressful service. Now my boss is saying that we can't do that because we're not allowed to be in the kitchen when we're not on the clock and he can't afford overtime. I'm willing to volunteer that extra time but is he right?
Clocking in after one's shift starts is an issue that has been around for a long time, but is resurfacing again due to some
We have an eight seat bar and our bartender insists that she be considered a section and be in the with the table rotation. I say that we only seat the bar if our guests ask to sit there. Is that right?
This question is pretty easily answered but belies a bigger problem, I suspect.
As a restaurant and bar near a college campus, our clientele is mix of students and local families. There are times when the students get rowdy or argue and our staff is able to defuse it. On a few occasions the have been fights. For the security of the staff and other patrons we would like to have a bouncer on premise during the weekends. The fear is that the presence of security will send the wrong message to well-intentioned patrons and make them think they should be fearful of dining at this establishment. How do you suggest the new security program is rolled out while not losing customers at the same time?
It is a challenge to serve multiple constituencies.

The administration has been implementing new laws, such as the Improper Payment Elimination and Recovery Act and another law that updates the Government Performance and Results Act, called the GPRA Modernization Act.
As Congress considers new transparency measures, Werfel offered a key question for senators to ask themselves when considering proposed legislation: Would the new law reinforce current objectives, or would it move the government in different directions?
If it would turn the government in a new direction, then it will cost more money. For instance, federal information systems that agencies have been building would need to be reengineered once again for "a new nuanced set of requirements and standards," he said.
"We need to have a real compelling case for why these additional data elements or additional changes are important, because they could necessitate a diversion of resources from where we're currently executing against a set of statutes," he told the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee in a hearing held July 18.
Nevertheless, transparency legislation is moving through Congress. In April, the House passed by voice vote its Digital Accountability and Transparency Act, or the DATA Act (H.R. 2146). The bill would create the Federal Accountability and Spending Transparency Commission, which is to succeed the board that oversaw spending reports for the 2009 economic stimulus law. In addition, agencies would be required to submit their spending data to a new platform with consistent electronic identifiers and markup language.
Werfel has not been in favor of the DATA Act. In a speech in June, Werfel said the bill would add more regulatory complexity while removing some of the necessary OMB oversight.
Today, Werfel said he doesn't object to the relentless pursuit of transparency, but he's concerned about the details.
"The disagreements are in the strategy in how we get there," he said.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) introduced a Senate version of the DATA Act (S. 1222) in 2011, but today said he intends reintroduce the bill with changes. He told the committee his primary goal is to expand the existing law to require the government to disclose to taxpayers federal spending in greater detail. However, he's seeing things differently since last year.
"I will admit that a year ago I believed that we needed a new government entity to oversee transparency and my opinion has evolved over the past year," he said in testimony. Based on the progress the government has made, the more cost-effective way of doing it is not duplicating efforts that are already underway.

Composer-Educator Barbara M. Drew Joins National Book Exhibit with SONGS
From Barbara M. Drew, an author, educator and musical composer, Songs by Barbara M. Drew is an impressive little book that features a song that presents an easy, enjoyable and effective method in memorizing all the names of the 50 states of America and their Capital Cities. Targeting people of all ages, Drew's work uses all 100 names in a fun way as part of the lyrics for a catchy boogie melody. She then showcases her book in an upcoming National Book Exhibit to share it with all Americans.
Drew's book is a brief compilation of songs created extemporaneously. It stemmed from thoughts and melodies lingering in the author's mind until transcribed into songs. Aside from the song "United States and Capital Cities Boogie," the book also contains three other songs. "The Best I Can Be" resulted from a friend's suggestion to compose a song for use at a promotional exercise from elementary school to middle school. "Lord, I'm Listening" was inspired by the natural disasters occurring throughout the world. "Glory to God" focuses on God's omnipotence as Creator of all things.
This book is not the only project Drew has. Simultaneously, she also published "Ancestry Potpourri," a source for recording and maintaining permanent records of information about family members, capable of spanning seven generations.
Creative, instructional and patriotic, Songs by Barbara M. Drew offers a detailed script to guide teachers in motivating and teaching the songs to children. This is a book every American home and school must have.
This book will be featured at the 2013 American Library Association Midwinter Book Exhibit in Seattle, WA on January 25 - 28, 2013.
For more information on this book, interested parties may log on to http://www.Xlibris.com.
Barbara Malloy Drew was born in Gastonia, N.C. She has a degree in Vocal Music Education and wrote numerous scripts for musical productions under her direction while employed in the public school systems of Yorktown, Va. and Prince George's County, Md. Drew is also author of "Ancestry Potpourri," a do-it-yourself book that can feature up to seven generations of information about ancestors and descendants. She has two daughters, a "son" (albeit son-in-law) and three adored grandchildren.
