London Metal Exchange,

load out rates
LONDON The London Metal Exchanges proposals regarding warehouse load-out rates do not go far enough, and ignore better options for tackling the massive queues at some locations, Novelis senior vice president and chief supply chain officer Nick Madden said.
Better solutions would have been to set load-out rates as a percentage of stocks held in each warehouse or to cap the amount of metal that can be held by a warehousing company in each location, Madden told AMM sister publication Metal Bulletin.
Maddens preferred option would be to stop warehouses from charging rent on canceled metal that has been in the delivery queue for a certain period of time, which would encourage warehouse companies to clear their queues faster to make space for rent-paying deliveries to replace the cancelled material.
While Madden, as a consumer of aluminum, would have liked to see the LME take one of these routes to address the warehouse issue, he conceded that the exchange is in a difficult position.
"I have some sympathy with the LME. Its trying to steer around a lot of different interests," he said. "The real issue is that the LME is trying to create rules in an area with insufficient regulation. The proposals are well-intentioned, but there is more that can be done."
Linking daily stock inflows and outflows to steadily reduce the queues will benefit the market, but the measures are not thorough and the applicable queue length is too long, Madden said. "The rules will only impact warehouses with a load-out queue of 100 calendar days or more."
"Its not enough and its not soon enough. We said the same when the load-out rates were changed in 2012. It will ultimately lead to improved behavior, but its not enough," Madden said. "One hundred days is not an acceptable period to have inventory idle."A version of this article was first published in AMM sister publication Metal Bulletin.

CALGARY, Alberta, December 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Oando Energy Resources Inc. ("OER" or the "Company") (TSX: OER), a company focused on oil exploration and production in Nigeria, today announced an update regarding the damaged 10 inch Kwale-Akri oil delivery pipeline that is operated by Nigerian Agip Oil Company Limited (NAOC) and connects OER's Ebendo Field (OML 56) to the Brass export terminal (as previously disclosed on November 12, 2012).
The Kwale-Akri pipeline has been fully repaired and has commenced operations with reduced volumes being injected into the pipeline for testing, to ensure full integrity before full volume capacity is attained. Gross production from the Ebendo Field (OML 56) has recommenced at approximately 2,000 Barrels Per Day ("bbls/day"), (900 bbls/day net to OER) with a gradual ramp-up to full gross production of 4,000 bbls/day expected over the next several weeks, as full pipeline integrity is confirmed.
Prior to the Kwale-Akri pipeline shut-in, OER was producing approximately 4,600 bbls/day from its two producing assets, the Abo Field (OML 125) and the Ebendo Field. The Abo Field produces 3,225 bbls/day into a floating, production, storage and offloading unit and has not been affected by the pipeline disruptions. As stated above, The Ebendo Field is currently producing 900 bbls/day of production (net to OER), resulting in OER currently producing a cumulative total of 4,125 bbls/day.
OER owns a 42.75% non-operating interest in the Ebendo Field (OML 56).
About Oando Energy Resources Inc. (OER)
OER currently has a broad suite of producing, development and exploration assets in the Gulf of Guinea (predominantly in Nigeria) with current production of approximately 4,125 barrels of oil per day. OER has been specifically structured to take advantage of current opportunities for indigenous companies in Nigeria, which currently has the largest population in Africa, and one of the largest oil and gas resources in Africa.

Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 47 votes )
Whether R. Kelly is using honey, Ginuwine is at a pony stable, or 50 Cent is playing at the amusement park, Hip Hop and R&B are synonymous with using metaphors to describe the art of lovemaking. Trying his hand at metaphorical success is recent Grammy-nominated singer, Raheem DeVaughn, who compares his 'services' to a fast food restaurant and his woman to a Customer. Using Burger King's "Have It Your Way" slogan, Raheem offers "super-sized with some lovin' on the side," and satisfaction always guaranteed. Raheem's sophomore album, Love Behind the Melody, is set for release on January 15th.

Purely on the basis of the previous piece of work we'd had done we made the mistake of approaching them directly which means that the project was not covered by the escrow system used by getafreelancer. It's turned out to be a big mistake as we have heard nothing from them since making the payment for the project.
Prior to engaging them, we asked for a quote and they came back with a competitively priced quote and were able to answer all of the questions we had about it - they did so quickly and thoroughly and we were feeling positive about the project. As soon as the money was paid to them to start the project, communication ended.
We know that communication in India was wiped out for a few days at the end of last month, so we were prepared to give them a lot of flexibility and leeway, asking repeatedly for timing updates once we received an automatic email from them on 1 August to say that they had been affected but power was restored. We had immediately replied to sympathise with them and show flexibility in delivery deadlines but they never replied. In fact, they have not replied to one request for information on project progress or a timing update in spite of our repeated pleas. Worse still we haven't just been dealing with a middle level manager in their organisation, we have been dealing with their CEO Ajit Ray.
We don't know if the project is progressing, whether it was ever started and whether it would be ever finished if it carried on. We tried to call the USA toll free number provided on their ticket system but received a message from the phone carrier that the number is no longer active. Has it been discontinued or did it never exist? It's still posted on their site in bold.
We are feeling very sour as we will now have to find someone else to do the work which we still need to get done, and fight to get a refund from them.
We are pretty flexible people with over 20 years of experience in working with IT contractors and vendors but no communication for over a week after advising they had their services restored is not acceptable - especially when the company has in the past 48 hours posted on their blog, their twitter feed and bid on new freelancer projects. They are obviously not incapacitated from a power outage any more but are not replying to us.
We note that they have a 14 day refund policy on the Indian Elite website so wonder why they are being silent - after all, how can you get a refund from someone you don't get a reply from?
We have had no choice but to file a formal complaint with PayPal, and will now have to go through a drawn out process to get our money back. Don't join us in that pain, make sure you use escrow if you work with this company OR even better, don't use them at all.

About Memphis
Memphis is a very large city located in the state of Tennessee.
With a population of 657,436 people and 181 constituent neighborhoods,
Memphis is the largest community in Tennessee.
Memphis is neither predominantly blue-collar nor white-collar, instead having a mixed workforce of both blue-collar and white-collar jobs. Overall, Memphis is a city of sales and office workers, service providers and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Memphis who work in office and administrative support (15.69%), sales jobs (10.60%) and management occupations (7.40%).
Memphis is a popular destination for single career-starters. One thing that you will notice when you are out and about town is that there is a large population of people who are young, single, educated, and upwardly-mobile career starters out at restaurants, listening to live music, and enjoying other activities. They are a real visible part of the culture of Memphis. This makes Memphis a good place to live for young professionals. With so many people in this demographic, Memphis presents many opportunities for single professionals to enjoy themselves, socialize, and to create lasting relationships.
One important feature of Memphis is that it is one of the most car-oriented large cities in the country. In fact, 80.69% of people commute to and from work every day by private automobile, eschewing alternative forms of transportation, which are not widely available in Memphis anyway. So, if you like to drive, Memphis is the city for you! The landscape around Memphis reflects this: wide streets, parking lots, plenty of highways, malls, and shopping centers are what you'll find.
The citizens of Memphis are slightly better educated than the national average of 21.84% for all cities and towns, with 23.37% of adults in Memphis having a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.
The per capita income in Memphis in 2010 was $21,368, which is upper middle income relative to Tennessee, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $85,472 for a family of four. However, Memphis contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
Memphis is an extremely ethnically-diverse city. The people who call Memphis home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Memphis residents report their race to be Black or African-American, followed by White. Important ancestries of people in Memphis include English, Irish and German.
The most common language spoken in Memphis is English. Some people also speak Spanish.

When the Met Cinema in Oakhurst, California closed on November 1, 2012, its fate followed that of many small theaters around the country. Faced with declining attendance, reduced concession revenue, and the need for conversion to Digital Cinema Projection systems, the theater's owners just could not continue with business as usual.
With so many changes in society and how people can find entertainment, "business as usual" won't work any better than in any other industry.
To stave off closing altogether, many theaters try to rally the community for support; asking for donations and holding fundraisers to tap the goodwill of loyal customers. That's worked for some theaters, but in some cases, it's either not been enough, or the owners betray the support of the community and close anyway.
That's why a plan by three Oakhurst men may just be unusual enough to have movies playing again at the Met Cinema. The Los Angeles Times published an article earlier this week about the new members-only approach to running a movie theater that was hatched by James Nelson, Matt Sconce, and Keith Walker:
Three childhood friends believe they've developed a subscription plan that could save not only the Met but also struggling small-town theaters across the country.
The deadline to find out if they can make it work here is Dec. 31. If enough people enroll, the trio will be able to sign a lease and reopen the movie house.
They ran models of Nelson's subscription-based theater idea, showing that to break even they would need 3,000 people, or 15% of the mountain communities, to sign up. For $19.95 per month, a member would be able to see each movie one time and buy individual tickets for friends. Non-members could buy a $16 day pass.
Click the Read link below to view the full article.
They set a goal of 3,000 members by December 31, 2012 and their web site at https://savethemet.com/ announced that they reached their goal that day! The subscriptions will begin on the opening date, which is tentatively February 1, 2013.
This is definitely a unique approach to opening a previously-closed community movie theater, and it will be interesting to see if they can keep the momentum they've achieved, and continue to attract new members as well as keep the existing ones at a rate that will sustain their business model. I think it's going to be a challenge, but if they can, this may be a model that can be used in other locations where doing business as usual just isn't working out.

Can this members-only approach to a movie theater work? Would you attend a movie theater where everyone was a member? Are the prices hitting a sweet spot or missing the mark?

"The "Save The Met" super-heroes were out in force on Monday, summoning their super powers of persuasion and encouraging people to join them in saving the Met Cinemas.
About 20 people, both the young and more "seasoned" citizens, gathered at the Met Monday afternoon to don their super-hero costumes and shake a sign at the corner of Highways 41 and 49."

It's probably a defense mechanism that I need to think about sometime, but not tonight. My life has been compartmentalized for a long time, at least I thought so. Work in one mental box, home life in another, distant family in another and the few other relationships in yet another.
Perhaps I should not be surprised with the encompassing aspects of SparkPeople to find the barriers between theses boxes starting to give. I won't be able to address this in one blog, but I have to make a broadbrush stroke attempt to touch the first layer.
At work (box #1), I received an email from a coworker who is also a friend. She said that I am lucky because I have about 200 Facebook friends. She has just recently set up her account and does not have many responses to her invitations. Her email went on to say that she is depressed, has increased her depression meds and is having a pity party. WHAT am I supposed to do with that?! This is one of those times when it does not matter what I say, it won't be the right answer. We did have some reasons to talk about work today, so I could not compartmentalize as effectively and my concern for her emotional stability tore at my ability to concentrate on my own tasks. I'm not blaming her - that's my issue.
This same friend wants to do something to celebrate my birthday and is not allowing me to deflect her interest in doing something. My birthday falls on the weekend before finals and I start the next class immediately afterwards, so I don't want to spend money and take time away from school right now. Her financial situation is better than mine, but not much, and I don't want her to spend money on me. Her birthday is later in the year and it will be my turn to match whatever she does. Sigh...
She had, unbeknownst to me, made plans for us to go to Yosemite over Memorial Day weekend. At the time that she made the plans, I was not planning on taking a class next quarter, but circumstances have changed. It means a couple of days off from work and includes camping at Yosemite, a hotel night in a town that has a casino and is a bit much for me to handle right now both in terms of time and money. When I told her that I will be in school then and that I fully anticipate that the teacher will slam us with major homework, her answer was that I could bring it with me. I know from experience travel and study do not mix well!
This weekend, I learned my "adopted" mom is in the hospital having suffered a "light" stroke. I am very concerned for her. I also take it as a sign (for lack of better description) that I should not "spend" my vacation time right now. Because Mom Angell is not an immediate family member, if, God forbid, she dies, the trip to Missouri for her funeral would be from vacation time, not bereavement. When I told my friend today that I was concerned about the possibility of having to buy a black outfit and an airline ticket, she said rather tartly that people do not die from strokes. If I wore dentures, they would have fallen out! I doubt she realizes how painful a remark that was to hear. At the time that I said it, I did not realize what a blue funk she is in or I would have said nothing.
This showed me that I am continuing the lifelong habit of "stuffing" my own feelings in favor of being the strong person for others. No wonder I don't reach out for help! Or at least, I did so very timidly prior to SparkPeople. Fortunately, I did not literally stuff myself! It did not even cross my mind! Woohoo! Progress! The divorce of food from emotions is continuing and deepening.
I finally had class tonight. The judge returned our midterms and I was very unhappy with my grade. I passed, but not with a grade I like. Fortunately, I have two chances to bring the grade up - the final exam and an extra credit project. Both are papers and both are due in two weeks. I had not anticipated needing to do that much work, but I hate leaving points on the table, so I will do as much as I can. I was almost mobbed on the way out the door by a couple of students. One wanted me to email my notes to him (he is always late by at least 30 minutes) and the young lady asked me to repeat the two assignments several times. Of course, I answered patiently, but I am always amazed by her questions and wonder what she does during class when he's lecturing. He repeats himself at least 3 times when he says something he wants us to get...At the same time, I was so unhappy with the midterm result that I had to really work at focusing on the lecture! I should not be so hard on others. The older I get, the more I remind myself that I don't know the whole story. The reminder helps, but the internal dialog is still hard to shut off...Something else for me to work on.
I wore my pedometer today, one of several. The one I bought seems to work just fine for miles, but not for steps. The other pedometer seems to be ok. As near as I can tell, I walked for 4 miles today with over thirteen thousand steps. That was with a nap at lunch time and a nap before school. Usually, I walk during those times, but I was so tired today!
I'm not quite sure where I was going with all this, but I'm winding down! I feel rather overwhelmed, tired (not sleepy, tired in an exhausted sort of way). I did have fleeting thoughts of chocolate or other sugar before class, but I had a Boca burger sandwich instead. Without completely conscious thought, I am starting to address stress without stuffing my face. When I realize I'm craving something, I do think about what is going on. But, when I am in the middle of a stressful situation, I don't think about bingeing, which is a novelty. That's probably a subject for another blog.
Perhaps I should have titled this "I Need a Long Time Out!". I'm still a little discouraged by the miniscule weight loss this week and the inches lost, but I should be grateful that I have not yet plateaued. I am really nervous about that! In the past, when I hit a plateau, I stayed there for a very long time. That discouragement makes tracking, measuring, exercising, drinking water - managing my lifestyle change - something of a drudge. I really need to snap out of that attitude, for certain!
I think I will adopt a couple of things this week: act as if until it is. And - one day at a time. The 30 pound pledge is too far, how much farther is the total! Today is just about over and I can handle tomorrow with grace and help from others. Lastly, I will continue to look for reasons to be positive. I feel stronger, I feel better and I like the way my clothes fit. I'll start there.
Saturday, my favorite boss found me on Facebook. The last time I saw him was late summer 1986, but he had a huge impact on my life. I was floored to be reconnected with him!
In the midst of that euphoria, I found out that my "adopted mom" is in the hospital having suffered a light stroke. She's in Missouri and I'm in California. Her daughters are with her. I am praying for her recovery and that I don't have to buy something black and an airline ticket.
The scale surprised me this morning. Down 2/10ths. At this rate, my pledge of 30 pounds by the end of June is a real challenge! I am just a tad discouraged. But, what this tells me is that I cannot slack off on measuring (eyeballing won't do) and I'm going to have to exercise through the pain. The water has not been a problem, which is a bit of a surprise. Along with the micro weight loss, I lost inches in some places, gained girth in other spots, so it was a strange accounting. The net difference is just a hair under 2 inches lost.
I broke down and bought a new pedometer as an early birthday present. It seems too sensitive, so I don't trust the step count. The day was slightly overcast, but it was a great day for the Baylands walk. We walked a different path and I was unable to get a lot of speed up because of the terrain. What I did notice was that, if I were not losing weight and exercising, I would have fallen several times. My balance is improving. Trying to keep my balance on that trail gave me plenty of a work out! It's kind of hard to explain, but I felt all of the muscles working to keep me upright, my heart rate was up and it felt like a good workout...I look forward to looking back at this blog soon and laughing at thinking that this is a good workout. To do that, I need to move my exercise bar a long way down the road. Today's walk was over a mile.
Tomorrow at work, I'll have the stairs and hills and the campus at school tomorrow night. I should be able to get lots of walking in! I can't imagine that I am looking forward to that! ME! Thanks, SparkPeople! You're helping me change my life!
Usually I post my blog midday or in the evening. It's morning and all I've had so far is the required first cup of coffee (a Rwandan bean). The past few weeks, I have walked more, I've used the stairs and, on occasion, flirted with free weights and exercises such as pushups and bridges. The only thing, besides walking, that I am doing consistently are the hip flexors.
But, I've missed a few days here and there or done less than I wanted or intended to do. I've become a bit discouraged by the results of my walks. It's taking longer to burn the same calories and longer to get my heart rate up. I feel like a slug!
I find myself mentally slipping into my old attitude about exercise, which may be why I have not committed to a program of strength training and have not started my running program either. It's not quite guilt, but something akin to that. The fact that I have started neither despite intention weighs on me. I feel anchored somehow and know I need to break free from whatever is holding me back.
Part of it is money, but that's an excuse. I don't have the money for running shoes and the shoes I have are completely inappropriate. I want, I want, I want - I hate wanting things this much! I want some exercise dvds (pilates, yoga, basic stuff), I want...I am just tired of that whine in my head!
Part of it is the unknown. Moving my body is not easy, not fun and those strength training exercises are boring. Will it get better over time? Do I have the patience to stick with it long enough to see a difference? What if I can't run? What if, as with walking, I hurt myself and can't do anything for a day or so? What if I fail AGAIN? Why am I letting this old litany hang over me now?
Everything I'm reading about women, age and obesity should be enough inspiration for me to get off the couch and out the door! Hence, my decision to blog this morning! Now, time for breakfast, shower and out the door for my wetlands walk!
Sparkle Saturday, Everyone!

I sometimes joke that, if I believed in reincarnation, I would want to come back as her - loved, pampered, never wanting for warmth, play, shelter and great health. I also would not mind getting some of her sleep! If I stopped the blog right there, that would just about sum up my couch potato life. But I am a member of the SparkPeople community
and it cannot end there. Juneau is also very athletic. She loves to run up and down the hall chasing a mouse on a string or the laser light! She takes running leaps and floats to her landing. She's loving, she loves attention and is very snuggly. I need to emulate her athleticism, find that playful fun that Juneau has. And I need to reach out to family and friends, reconnect and reignite that spark of love. I tend to shut down and withdraw when life is not smooth and I have been hibernating in the Silicon Valley for far too long. Time for me to act as if until it is real! Happy Cat!
I put on my gift pedometer first thing this morning and later discovered that it was not accurately counting my steps. It flipped off 4 times, and I retrieved it the first three. When I discovered it was gone, I retraced my steps (which were many) and never found it.....................I met with a couple of friends over lunch, missing my lunchtime walk in the process, so we could talk about running. The two friends did not know each other and, voila, it sounds as if all 3 of us may be doing a marathon next year! But I did not start running yet. I was so tired by the end of the day, I was dangerously tired on the way home from work. Note to self: don't do that again! I polished off the water early in the day and found myself considering munching in the afternoon for some energy to keep awake...I need to make some changes because this cannot continue. My motivation with respect to the pedometer is quite tempered. At the moment, and it's probably the fatique, I am tired of exercising, of thinking about losing weight, of measuring food and choosing wisely.
HOWEVER, that does not give me license to throw in the towel. I am going to ignore those feelings and keep plugging on. That's a new approach! Yawning...

Daniel Davis from BIM consultancy Case Design wants architects to capitalize on the torrent of innovation coming from Silicon Valley and elsewhere. First need-to-know: Indoor positioning.
With the arrival of spring come new programs to strengthen communication and collaboration among the AEC sectors—and to remind you that your firm's software is once again, out of date.
Three recent releases from the software companies are curtailing the days of strong-arming through piles of architectural drawings and building performance calculations.
Designed by KieranTimberlake, the app allows architects to calculate the environmental impact of building components throughout the design process.
The metal engineering and fabrication company launches a parametric design-to-fabrication tool that gives designers access to information that is commonly held back: pricing.
Technology experts at Case Design, DPR Construction, CH2M Hill, and Woods Bagot weigh the pros and cons of three popular BIM apps.
The second version of this app features additional color palettes and filters to stimulate users' minds while stylizing their sketches.
A roster of leading design, technology, and programming experts imparted knowledge and inspiration to thousands of attendees in Las Vegas at the 21st annual conference and event.
Autodesk and Bentley Systems recently introduced several products and services accessible by nearly everyone, anywhere—if the price is right.
From the salvage operation that raised the Costa Concordia in Italy to the project team that delivered the Perot Museum in Dallas, Texas, under budget and ahead of schedule, the annual awards program celebrates infrastructure projects in the design, transportation, construction, and energy sectors.

Mediterranean Shipping became the second carrier after Maersk Line to announce a second rate hike this year of $400 per 20-foot container on the westbound leg of the Asia-Europe trade.
MSC, which plans to charge an extra $750 per 20-foot container from Asia to Europe tomorrow, March 1, will seek to implement the second increase April 1. Maersk, which is raising westbound rates by $775 per TEU Thursday, last week told shippers of a second $400 increase in April.
MSC's April hike will apply to all cargo from Asia to northern Europe, Scandinavia, the Baltic Sea, the Western and Eastern Mediterranean, the Black Sea and North Africa.
The move by the world's two largest carriers is expected to trigger similar rate increases by rival lines, which are also hiking rates Thursday, as the industry strives to stem losses on the world's busiest shipping lane. Chinese carrier Cosco announced at short notice on Monday a further $230 per TEU general rate increase from March 10.
If the higher rates stick, shippers will have to pay almost $1,200 more to ship a 20-foot container from Asia to Europe. Carriers have also raised eastbound rates but by a much smaller amount because of lower traffic volumes and slower growth. More recently Hapag-Lloyd announced a $225 per TEU increase effective March 19.
There are doubts, however, that carriers can push through the all of the planned rate hikes amid an excess of capacity and slowing trade growth. Carriers are expected to obtain over half of the $700 to $800 hikes on March 1, with forward rates at $1,200 to $1,300 compared to $700 to $800 spot rates for February, according to Alphaliner.
"However, rates are expected to soften slightly in March before carriers attempt to raise them for a second time in April," the container market analyst said.
The ability of carriers to raise rates further will depend on maintaining capacity discipline in the coming months, Alphaliner said. While service withdrawals have removed 14 percent of capacity on the Far East-Europe route since last June, much of the culled cargo space likely will return by the summer. Up to six new "strings" could be introduced on the route, threatening a rerun of last year Asia-Europe price war.

Book Description:
What Is The Right Way To live?--SocratesWhile camped by the frozen Danube River defending his empire against invading "barbarian tribes," Marcus Aurelius, emperor of Rome from A.D. 161 to 180 and one of the most influential of the Stoic philosophers, inscribed his thoughts on the right way to live. Written as a personal diary for spiritual development, his "meditations," as they have been called, were not meant for publication or posterity, yet the Golden Emperor's insights on all aspects of the human condition have provided inspiration and guidance for more than eighteen centuries.Now, after nearly two thousand years, Mark Forstater has adapted the ideas and principles relevant to the Roman world of the second century and made them accessible to twenty-first-century readers. Selecting key meditations, or teachings, he offers a contemporary reinterpretation of this influential philosopher. "Marcus Aurelius's truth remains alive, and the clarity of his mind and being filters down to us almost undiminished by time. We can see mirrored our own attempts to deal with whatever life throws at us without letting ourselves be overcome by the pain and despair that often accompanies life on earth," Forstater explains.Conveniently arranged into eight thematic sections that will appeal to readers searching for spiritual and philosophical guidance, The Spiritual Teachings of Marcus Aurelius is a book that can be dipped into to find new thoughts or consolations, or can be read according to subject, to reflect on the events that are happening in one's life and how to handle them. Dealing with topics from hope, tolerance, and self-sufficiency to change, greed, and discipline, and from reason, courage, and the nature of good and evil to ambition, civility, and man's position in the universe, this powerful, moving work explores the questions we all have and offers the answers we all need to perfect our souls and better our lives today and every day.Forstater writes: "Marcus was writing from the heart, and his words vibrate in our souls.... We read him as if he were a contemporary figure, as indeed everyone who lives and writes the truth will always remain timely. Fashions may change, and technology may generate newer and more different societies than ever existed before, but the core of our being stays the same, and the truth of life is always one." A wondrous, illuminating work that can be revisited for years to come, The Spiritual Teachings of Marcus Aurelius offers profound wisdom for all ages about attaining and living a more authentic life.

PGA Tour's Finchem Says Fans Finally Embracing FedExCup Playoffs
Published September 25, 2013
BOYS OF FALL: GOLFWEEK's Adam Schupak notes six tournaments formerly part of the Tour's Fall Series "have been promoted to the FedEx Cup regular season and will award FedEx Cup points for the first time." No one is "happier than the six tournament directors, who said they finally can compete to attract the best in the game." But the six events "still face challenges in drawing an elite field." This time of year "traditionally is when top Tour talent chase guaranteed money overseas." Other players are "ready to put their feet up, burned out from a busy run through the FedEx Cup playoffs." The four "domestic events at the start of the season will face stiff competition" from the CIMB Classic in Malaysia and the WGC-HSBC Champions in China. Asia is a "long way to travel, but if you're going to play, it's hard to ignore a no-cut event for official money" (GOLFWEEK, 9/27 issue).

Frank Ocean vs. Micha Otano
Songwriter/producer Micah Otano filed suit against Odd Future crooner Frank Ocean over production work on Ocean's "Lost." Otano says the singer/songwriter never gave him credit or compensation for his work on the record which is featured on Franks' breakout debut, Channel Orange. According to the suit, Otano co-produced the song that was originally titled "Daylight," but when the name switched to "Lost" the producer was never given credit for his production work.

Now 100% Nickel Free! Highly detailed brass stampings, gold plated and burnished for an antique look. Entirely proudly made in the USA in our New York Workroom!Think you can only wear gold or sterling? Develop contact dermatitis from inexpensive earrings/jewelry? You probably have a nickel allergy, and you can wear GirlPROPS' jewelry that has "100% nickel free" in its' description.Most costume jewelry that calls itself nickel free may contain some nickel. There are no government standards or regulations for using the terms "nickel free" or "hypoallergenic." Some manufacturers use the term "nickel free" to describe a piece that is merely free of nickel in the plating, but they use nickel alloys in the base metal, and when the plating wears off, even minutely, an allergic reaction can occur. "Hypoallergenic" simply means causing fewer allergic reactions.GirlPROPS manufactured items use brass or pewter as their base metal, both nickel free, and when we call an item 100% nickel free, we plate with nickel free gold and imitation rhodium, or not at all. When we say 100% nickel free, we mean it! Gold plated base metal Lead Free

My former company has let me go recently and has for the last several years been firing Americans and hiring Indians to take their place. I've become another statistic as part of a "workforce reduction". I was harassed at the end of last year by a group comprised entirely of Indians, whom I had no previous working relationship with whatsoever, who escalated on me daily to directors and executive directors without cause which led to an unfavorable review from which ultimately cost me my job. Is it at all possible for a lawyer to find out the demographic makeup of a company and accurately determine the percentage of Americans vs Indians that are let go during a workforce reduction to prove discrimination based on national origin?
Discrimination based on national origin involves treating employees or job applicants unfavorably because they are from a different country, or because of the person's (or the person's spouse's or associates') ethnicity or foreign accent, or because they seem to be of a certain ethnic background. The law prohibits discrimination in hiring, firing, pay, promotions, layoffs, job assignments, training, fringe benefits, and any other term of employment.
Under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), it is unlawful for an employer to discriminate based upon citizenship or immigration status. IRCA also prohibits retaliation against someone who asserted his or her right under the Act or for filing a charge or aiding in an investigation or proceeding under IRCA.
It is also unlawful to harass someone due to his or her national origin. Inoffensive or mildly offensive stray remarks are not considered harassment. Rather, it becomes illegal when it is so frequent or serious that it establishes a hostile work environment or when it causes an adverse employment decision. The person who commits the harassment can be a supervisor, fellow employee, or customer.
As far as determining demographics of a company's employees, there are methods that are available during the discovery phase of a lawsuit that may help to determine such demographics.
Good luck to you.

MOSCOW -- Amid a bitter crisis in relations with the West over Ukraine, Russia's President Vladimir Putin is moving to bolster ties with China.
Russia sees relations with China as a top priority and their ties now are the best ever, Putin said in an interview with the Chinese media released by the Kremlin Monday, a day before his trip to Shanghai.
He said that a deal on Russian natural gas exports to China is close to be signed, adding that it would allow Russia to diversify its export routes and let China meet its growing demand for energy.
Moscow sped up work on the contract amid the Ukrainian crisis, as the United States and the European Union have slapped travel bans and asset freezes on members of Putin's entourage over Russia's annexation of Crimea and threatened to impose even harsher sanctions that would target entire sectors of the Russian economy.
"In the context of the turbulent global economy, the strengthening of mutually beneficial trade and economic ties, as well as the increase of investment flows between Russia and China, are of paramount importance," Putin said.
The two countries developed what they dub a "strategic partnership" after the 1991 Soviet collapse, including close political, economic and military ties in a shared aspiration to counter U.S. domination.
Russia has supplied sophisticated weapons to China, and the neighbors have conducted joint military drills. But many in Russia have felt increasingly uneasy about their powerful neighbor, fearing that Russia's population decline and a relative weakness of its conventional forces compared to China's military could one day tempt Beijing to grab land.
He said that Russia would welcome more Chinese investments, in particular in a free trade zone currently being established in the far eastern port of Vladivostok.
"Obviously, we are interested in Chinese businessmen making use of these opportunities and become one of the leaders here, since both Russia and China will benefit from an accelerated development of the Russian Far East," he said.
