INTRODUCTION 2 On November 22, 2011, the Court granted Plaintiffs' motion for class certification and 3 directed that, on or before December 9, 2011, the parties file a proposed form of class notice and 4 joint proposal for dissemination of the notice for approval by the Court.1 5 Accordingly, the parties jointly propose the following process for dissemination of the class 6 notice. 7 II. ADMINISTRATOR 8 To facilitate the notice process, Plaintiffs have retained Rust Consulting, Inc. 9 ("Administrator"), an experienced and highly qualified notice administrator, to assist and provide 10 professional guidance in the implementation of the notice program. 11 III. FORM OF NOTICE 12 The parties jointly submit:2 (1) a proposed summary notice for publication ("Summary 13 Notice"), attached as Exhibit 1; (2) a proposed Notice of Pendency of Class Action to be emailed to 14 those prospective Class Members for whom the parties have email addresses ("Notice"), attached as 15 Exhibit 2; and (3) a proposed long-form notice to be published on a website ("Long-Form Notice"), 16 attached as Exhibit 3.3 The notices define the Class and describe the nature of the action and the 17 binding effect of a later Class judgment on Class Members. In addition, the notices inform the Class 18 Members that, if they do not want to be a Class Member and wish to retain their right to pursue their 19 own independent action at their own expense and appear through their own counsel, they can request 20 to be excluded from the Class. They can do so by mailing a letter to the Administrator setting forth 21 their name and address and requesting exclusion. Any requests for exclusion from Class Members 22 23 1 26 3 The Court subsequently changed the due date to January 9, 2012, following the parties' request for an extension. Dkt. No. 696. 24 2 references to "Exhibit" are to the exhibits 25 Bernay AllSupport of Joint Proposal Regarding Noticeattached to the Declaration of Alexandra S. in Plan, filed concurrently. The parties are working on securing a domain name, but have not yet reached an agreement on a website name. The parties expect to come to agreement shortly and will inform the Court of the 27 agreed-upon domain name. 28 674909_2 JOINT PROPOSAL REGARDING NOTICE PLAN - C-05-00037-JW -1- 1 shall be postmarked via U.S. mail, no later than 75 days after the last day on which the Notice is to 2 be disseminated. 3 IV. TIMING OF DISSEMINATION OF NOTICE 4 Apple has proposed that dissemination of Notice be deferred until after the Ninth Circuit 5 rules on Apple's Rule 23(f) petition for interlocutory review of this Court's November 22, 2011 6 class-certification decision. Because the Ninth Circuit could reverse or modify the certification 7 decision, Apple believes that deferring the dissemination of notices "will avoid the possibility of the 8 Class receiving two conflicting Notices," thereby serving the public interest by avoiding "the risk of 9 significantly confusing the class consumers." In re Apple & ATTM Antitrust Litig., No. 5:07-cv10 05152-JW, slip. op. at 6 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 15, 2010), attached as Exhibit 4. As in ATTM, "neither 11 Plaintiffs nor the class will be significantly harmed by a short delay." Id. Indeed, Class Members 12 may benefit by avoiding the confusion that conflicting notices would cause. 13 Plaintiffs do not object to the deferral. 14 V. PROPOSED NOTICE PROCESS 15 The parties propose that individual notice be disseminated to potential Class Members via 16 email and publication. 17 Apple maintains email addresses for customers who provided them when they purchased 18 iPods directly from Apple through its online and retail stores and when they registered their iPods 19 with Apple. Apple also maintains contact information for resellers who purchased iPods directly 20 from Apple during the Class Period. If the Court approves the Notice Plan, Apple will provide 21 approximately 4.9 million email addresses, plus additional contact information for the resellers, for 22 customers who purchased iPods directly from Apple during the Class Period. The email addresses 23 and other contact information will be designated as Confidential under the Protective Order 24 previously entered into in this case. Class Counsel will provide the email addresses and contact 25 information to the third-party Administrator, which it will use solely for the purposes of 26 disseminating the Notice. The Administrator has signed Attachment A to the Protective Order and 27 given its assurance that it will comply with the provisions of the Protective Order. Notice will be 28 disseminated to the Class within 30 days after the Court of Appeals' denial of Apple's 23(f) petition 674909_2 JOINT PROPOSAL REGARDING NOTICE PLAN - C-05-00037-JW -2- 1 or affirmance of this Court's November 22, 2011 class certification Order becomes final or after this 2 Court approves the notice form and plan, whichever is later. 3 In addition to the direct Notice detailed above, notice will also be disseminated through 4 publication. The Administrator shall cause to be published the Summary Notice in Entertainment 5 Weekly and Wired as a means of reaching prospective Class Members not receiving individual 6 Notice. 7 The Administrator shall establish a website, to make available to Class Members the 8 following information: (1) the Order granting class certification; (2) Plaintiffs' Complaint; (3) 9 Defendant's Answer; and (4) the Notice and Long-Form Notice and other such documents as the 10 parties may agree or the Court shall require. The Administrator shall also establish a toll-free telephone number for Class Members to call 11 12 if they have questions or to request copies of the Class notices or other documents. The 13 Administrator shall provide staff to answer the telephone, respond to ministerial matters such as 14 requests for copies of the notices and direct any substantive questions to Class Counsel. 15 VI. THE PROPOSED NOTICE PLAN AND FORM OF NOTICE MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 23 16 A. 17 18 The Proposed Class Notice Provides for the Best Notice Practicable Under the Circumstances Rule 23 requires the "best notice that is practicable under the circumstances." Fed. R. Civ. P. 19 23(c)(2)(B). The notice should be "reasonably calculated, under all the circumstances, to apprise 20 interested parties of the pendency of the action and afford them an opportunity to present their 21 objections." Silber v. Mabon, 18 F.3d 1449, 1454 (9th Cir. 1994) (quoting Mullane v. Central 22 Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306, 314, 70 S. Ct. 652 (1950)). "There is no one 'right way' 23 to provide notice as contemplated under Rule 23(e)." In re Wireless Tel. Fed. Cost Recovery Fees 24 Litig., No. 4:03-MD-015, 2004 WL 3671053, at *8-*9 (W.D. Mo. Apr. 20, 2004) (citations omitted). 25 Notice plans are not expected to reach every class member; Rule 23 requires the best notice 26 'practicable,' not perfect notice. Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(c)(2)(B). "Due process does not require actual 27 notice, but rather a good faith effort to provide actual notice." In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am. Sales 28 Practices Litig., 177 F.R.D. 216, 231 (D.N.J. 1997). As described in detail above, the proposed 674909_2 JOINT PROPOSAL REGARDING NOTICE PLAN - C-05-00037-JW -3- 1 notice plan comprised of direct Notice supplemented by publication notice will reach a wide number 2 of Class Members. 3 B. Each Identified Class Member For Whom the Parties Have an Email Address Will be Sent Notice 4 The notice program provides that Apple will work with Class Counsel and the notice 5 Administrator to cause the Notice to be sent by email to each identifiable Class Member by sending 6 the Notice to the Class Member's last known email address in the customer databases of Apple. The 7 Notice will consist of a summary of the Long-Form Notice and a link to an official website, where 8 the entire Long-Form Notice and other documents related to the case may be viewed and printed by 9 Class Members as detailed, above, in §A. The Notice has been designed to minimize the chances 10 that it could be blocked by spam filters. For example, the Notice will not include an attachment of 11 the Long-Form Notice because such notices are known to sometimes trigger spam filters. Instead, 12 the Notice will direct the recipient to the official website for complete information. The notice 13 program provides that in the event a Notice is returned to the sender because it could not be 14 delivered ("bounced back"), the parties may, if it is deemed useful, resend the Notice. 15 Similar programs for notice by email rather than regular first-class mail have been accepted 16 in other cases by courts throughout the country. See, e.g., In re Classmates.com Consol. Litig., No. 17 C 09-45 RAJ, slip. op. (W.D. Wash. Apr. 19, 2010) (Order attached hereto as Exhibit 5); Cho v. 18 Seagate Tech. (US) Holdings, Inc., No. CGC 06-453195, slip. op. (San Francisco Super. Ct. Mar. 1, 19 2010) (attached hereto as Exhibit 6); and Barker v. Skype, Inc., No. 2:09-cv-01364-RSM, slip. op. 20 (W.D. Wash. Nov. 17, 2009) (attached hereto as Exhibit 7).4 In the specific circumstances of this 21 case, because iPod users are likely heavy technology users, email is likely to be a more efficient 22 23 24 4 See also Browning v. Yahoo! Inc., No. C04-01463-HRL, WL 4105971, Cal. 25 Nov. 16, 2007) (citing Lundell v. Dell, Inc., No. C05-3970, 200620073507938, at *1 at *4 (N.D.Dec. WL (N.D. Cal. Browning v. Yahoo! Inc., No. C04-01463-HRL, 2006 26 5, 2006) (approving notice by e-mail);2006); see also Chavez v. Netflix, Inc., 162 Cal. App. 4thWL 3826714, at *8-*9 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 27, 43, 58 (2008); Farinella v. PayPal, Inc., 611 F. Supp. 2d 250, 256 (E.D.N.Y. 2009) (e-mail notice sent 27 to more than 2.2 million PayPal users). 28 674909_2 JOINT PROPOSAL REGARDING NOTICE PLAN - C-05-00037-JW -4- 1 means of communicating with Class Members than regular first-class mail. As to Resellers, the 2 notice plan calls for email and mail notice to these Members of the Class. 3 C. 4 Apple has provided the contact information it has maintained for the resellers who purchased Resellers Will Receive Notice Via U.S. Mail and Email 5 iPods directly from Apple during the Class Period. This information includes physical mailing 6 addresses, and for most, email addresses of the contact at each Reseller. In order to ensure the best 7 practicable notice of the Reseller Members of the Class, notice to these entities will be via U.S. mail 8 and email. 9 D. Notice Will Also Be Provided Through Print Media As noted, the Administrator will cause the Summary Notice to published in Entertainment 10 11 Weekly and Wired as a means of reaching prospective Class Members not receiving Notice. 12 Entertainment Weekly is a weekly magazine and online periodical that covers all aspects of pop 13 culture and entertainment including movies, television, music, books and new media. The magazine 14 is "the leading consumer brand for entertainment and pop culture." See 15 http://www.ew.com/ew/static/advertising/pdfs/EW_2011MedaiKit.pdf. It has won more than 100 16 photography, design and editorial awards, including the 2010 Ad Age Media Vanguard Award for 17 Best Magazine App with a Purpose as well the 2010 MIN Best of the Web Awards, the 2010 MIN 18 Integrated Marketing Awards, Multiple Magazine Title Program and the 2009 Folio Magazine 19 Awards for Consumer, Entertainment, Full Issue (6/27/2008). Id. 20 Wired is a monthly magazine and online periodical that covers "how ideas and innovation are 21 changing the world" and "the future of business, culture, innovation and science." See 22 www.wired.com/services/press/center/about. "AdWeek named WIRED to its 2011 Hot List and 23 made WIRED its first-ever "Magazine of the Decade" in 2010. It was named to Advertising Age's 24 A-List in 2010, received three National Magazine Awards for general excellence in 2005, 2007, and 25 2009, and was nominated for a National Magazine Award for Magazine of the Year in 2011." It was 26 also "named 2009's Best Magazine Website by AdWeek, Best News, Business & Finance Website 27 in 2009 by MPA Digital, and was a 2011 National Magazine Award for Digital Media 'General 28 Excellence' finalist." Id. 674909_2 JOINT PROPOSAL REGARDING NOTICE PLAN - C-05-00037-JW -5- 1 The Summary Notice will be published in Entertainment Weekly and Wired within 10 days 2 after completion of the emailing program described above. The Administrator will oversee 3 publication of the Summary Notice and will certify to the Court that publication occurred. 4 E. 5 An official website will feature copies of important case documents including the Long-Form Notice Will Be Posted on a Designated Website 6 Notice, the Notice, the Court's Order granting class certification and other documents the parties 7 agree to post or that the Court requires be posted. The documents will be available for Class 8 Members to review and print. The website will be available until at least one-year after settlement or 9 conclusion of trial in this action. No material may be posted to the website without Apple and 10 Plaintiffs' joint agreement. The website will also feature a toll-free number Class Members may call 11 if they have questions. 12 F. The Proposed Form of Class Notice Adequately Informs Class Members of Their Rights in This Litigation 13 Class notice must "clearly and concisely state in plain, easily understood language" the 14 nature of the action; the class definition; the class claims, issues, or defenses; that the class member 15 may appear through counsel; that the court will exclude from the class any member who requests 16 exclusion; the time and manner for requesting exclusion or for raising objections; and the binding 17 effect of a later class judgment on class members. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(c)(2)(B). As detailed 18 above, the email and Long-Form Notices proposed here comply with each of these requirements. 19 The parties respectfully request that the Court approve the proposed forms of notice, and 20 direct that Notice be disseminated as proposed. 21 DATED: January 9, 2012 Respectfully submitted, 22 23 24 25 ROBBINS GELLER RUDMAN & DOWD LLP JOHN J.

SWAT searched shooting suspect's home overnight
Updated On: Oct 27 2013 03:22:45 PM MDT
Police had the 800 block of Walter Street shutdown overnight while they searched the home of Christopher Chase, the man suspected of shooting at law enforcement Saturday.
Three Albuquerque police officers and one Bernalillo County deputy were shot Saturday after a chaotic incident that included a stolen police car and a car chase. Police said Chase eventually crashed the stolen police car into a gas station and died from his injuries.
Chase's home was thought to booby trapped, but authorities said those traps were fake.
On Saturday night, police could not confirm the connection between the SWAT and the shootings. They revealed more information Sunday at a news conference.

Blog Tips!
It's called Mariaemb and is written by Maria who just moved into her new apartment a couple of months ago, and it's already looking great! Here are some of my favorite pics from her new home:
Another new blog, and this one is actually new, is honeypielivingetc! This isn't exactly a blog on interiors, or at least it's not only about interiors, but it's a blog full of mixed pictures from the editor's life. But oh my god, the photos! She is such a talented photographer, and on top of that it seems that everyone in her family look like super models. And she lives in a huge whitepainted old house. Do you need anything more to go check it out?

Dogma director Hideaki Itsuno teased new content back in July telling fans to hold onto their copies of game.
A sequel is currently in the early stages of development.
Details on the tentatively titled 'Dark Arisen' haven yet to be announced although a short teaser has been released online and is watchable below.

text: Newey: What happened that day, what caused the accident, still haunts me 2 October, 2013 Adrian Newey still pained by the incidents at Imola in 1994 Nearly two decades have passed since Ayrton Senna died at Imola driving a Williams penned by Adrian Newey, and what happened on the 1st of May 1994 still pains Formula 1's most successful designer. "What happened that day, what caused the accident, still haunts me to this day," Newey told BBC Sport. He added, "I guess one of the things that will always haunt me is that he joined Williams because we had managed to build a decent car for the previous three years and he wanted to be in the team he thought built the best car – and unfortunately that '94 car at the start of the season wasn't a good car." Ayrton Senna at Imola in 1994 "Ayrton's raw talent and determination…he tried to carry that car and make it do things it really wasn't capable of," revealed the Red Bull design guru. "And it just seems such a shame and so unfair he was in that position. And then, of course, by the time we did get the car sorted, he wasn't with us any longer." The cause of the accident at Tamburello in 1994 was caused by either a steering column failure or by driver error, of which Newey is adamant: "No one will ever know." "The steering column failure, was it the cause, or did it happen in the accident?" asks Newey. "There is no doubt it was cracked. Equally, all the data, all the circuit cameras, the on-board camera from Michael Schumacher's car that was following, none of that appears to be consistent with a steering-column failure. The car oversteered [when the rear tried to spin] initially and Ayrton caught that and only then did it go straight." Ayrton Senna embarks on his final lap before tragically losing his life in an accident on lap six of the 1994 San Marino GP "But the first thing that happened was oversteer, in much the same way as you will sometimes see on a superspeedway in the States – the car will lose the rear, the driver will correct, and then it will go straight and hit the outside wall, which doesn't appear to be consistent with a steering-column failure," ventured the Englishman. Of Senna the man, Newey recalled, "There was an aura about him, something that's difficult to describe. He most certainly had a presence." (GP247) Subbed by AJN.

(Illegal pass during pitstop in Brazil, Senna on pole in Pacific, Senna leading in Imola). Schumacher is not even close to Senna in terms of greatness. Greg Why does'nt Schumacher talk about what he saw in Senna's accident??/ pfft Nonsense. Schumacher immediately bested senna in his first full season (1992). He and Senna raced hard and schu had passes than a more than senna had passed him (probably because senna waa faster over one lap and usually qualified ahead and schu looked after his race better. It was a battle that should have gone on for many years, with each pushing each other to higher levels. Poor Senna just kept throwing the car off the road in 94. I believe he was just pushing too hard. He had a reputation for throwing it away. That's what happens when u give 110%. As much as I disliked senna's cheating and spoilt brat attitude, hebwas tremendously fast. RIP Stoner because Schumacher has always remained a cheat and a liar pfft He and Senna had much in common. … Tony Clifton The removal of the active suspension made the car very unstable. The balance of the car would alternate between oversteer and understeer during runs. The race was stopped after and incident at the start and the cars remain on the grid. Some say the tyre pressures dropped from the cooling tyres and lowered the car, which resulted in it bottoming out through Tamburello on the restart which resulted in the car being unable to brake. The real mystery was the Black Box. Charlie Whiting, an FIA official, (breached FIA regulations) and handed the black boxes back to Williams before the FIA investigation into the accident. The boxes when returned to officials were unreadable. Also the race itself should never have taken place. The death of Ratzenberger the previous day should have (according to Italian law) stopped the entire race weekend completely. Ultimately formula 1's greed and lack of respect led to the death of Senna. Marti Indeed Senna were a great but, Hakkinen out qualified him in his first MP4 – can`t remember exact details but Mika in the same machinery PROVED 2 B faster !!! Sigh @ pfft you name say's it all.. Pfft.. what a sore looser you should be! have you even seen the races in the 90s? Everyone knew that Shumi used illegal traction control… he's own team driver admitted it! and Senna never cheated.. it was his determination and precision that made fools like you think he was cheating! i still wonder whether you've seen a formula one race… Sigh this is what happens when Justin Beiber fans just start watching F1!!! pfft @Sigh I enjoy your turn around. I doubet you ever saw Prost, Senna, Mansell or Lauda race. No team driver (I assume you are referring to Jos the Boss) ever 'admitted' anything of the sort. Jos only claimes that Briatore wouldn't discuss the matter with him. Jos is a known sore loser. He fractured the skull of an innocent man at a race track because his son was faster than Jos Junior. He can't handle getting dumped by his girlfriend, either. He likes to hand out a few beatings. Senna was a proud cheater. He openly admitted to purposely smashing Prost off the track in 1990. He also reneged on deals at his whim. When Hakkinnen proved quicker in his first few outings, he was unceremoniously shuffled into a slower position. I don't doubt that schumacher might have had tc in early 94, but the whole field had it in 1992 and schumacher was a rookie and nearly took second in the championship (just shy of Patrese in the all-conquering Williams). Senna overdrove his car and spun off, consistently broke gearsets by misjudging downshifts and gave away places (schumacher overtook him in his first ever wet race!) when under pressure. When he held it together, tho he won. He was the fastest but flawed. He never bested Prost, Rookie Schumacher showed his hand and Senna was still great. The fastest, but flawed. Perhaps you've been suckered in by the biased fiction of 'Senna: the movie?' Tony Clifton While there's not doubting that T.C was buried in software the 94′ Benetton pre-Imola… (whether is was used or not the FIA could not prove. maybe it was, maybe it wasn't) However it didn't dampen the pace of Schumacher in the remaining races of '94 or in '95. Schumacher was talented no matter what people like to say to the contrary. Putting a Jordan in 7th place on the grid in his first F1 qualifying session proved this guy had pace. Spain '96 where he lapped (but for one car) the entire field in the wet was a fantastic showcase of driving skill. As Stirling Moss said "It wasn't a race. It was a display of brilliance." While I myself feel Senna was the most naturally talented F1 driver (on parr with Jim Clarke maybe) I have no problem saying that Schumacher was also an extremely talented driver and without doubt the best driver of his generation. Love him or hate him the man could drive. It's Funny before Imola, 50% of F1 fans hated Senna… People tend to forget than sometimes with genius comes ruthlessness. All champions have varying degrees of it. Some more than others. Senna and Schumacher had it in spades. Sigh @pfft oh i see you know to read…. ever shumi has said the best driver was senna! lol and here your arguing about senna cheating and all when nobody can help the way people think.. for you senna might have cheated but for many he was undoubtedly the best F1 driver ever that ever lived…. I respect Schumacher very much just as you do.. but still he aint that great compared to Senna… Paul Bould It was determined by Court the steering failure. if you link this news with Minardi last statement about something irregular in the RB'2013 makes me think of vettel as new Newey's victim? pfft @Sigh We agree on some things. Schumacher did say that. I believe that Senna was faster than Schumacher. In the same team, I reckon Senna would qualify ahead of Schu every time (all things being even). In a race, it may be a different matter. 1992 was a good example of schumacher having a slower car, always qualifying slower and then battling for a good haul of points. Senna would qualify well and then overdrive. Smashing gear sets and flywheels by down changing too early. Crashing out after trying too hard, sliding off into gravel traps when under pressure and, sometimes when not under pressure. That's why Prost always got more points over a season than Senna. Senna just threw it away too often…. even when in a good position. Senna was incredibly fast. I see a little of it in Hamilton. Jim Clark was, in my opinion, the best. He was a killer ona flying lap (like senna) but had a mechanical sympathy and deft touch that few drivers possess. My favorite memory of senna is lapping traffic at spa. Lapped drivers were nearly jumping out of his way when they saw him in the mirrors. He took no prisoners. RIP. Tamburello_1994 Senna is the greatest driver in the history of formula 1 . Schumacher is the most successful driver in formula 1 history. Each driver great in his own right. AlsoRan @fools I believe Senna was struck in the head and killed by one of his tyres. As in a plane crash, it is never just one action that triggers the crash, and in his case, a series of events that led him off track. harry harris Hey Vettel … You better be careful with your car mate……… Go Pfft, with due respect you are not very knowledgeable. Senna did not miss downshifts in 1992. 92 was the first year mclaren used not a manual but a (very fragile) semi auto box which broke all the time. The 1992 mp4/7 was possibly the worst car mclaren have ever made together with mp4/24 and this years car. It was too heavy and had no torque (297lb/ft@14400). The v8 had it outmatched on all tracks bar hocknhm and monza. Hakkinen did outqualify senna on his first outing yes as Senna and hakkinen were running different spec hbv8 engines, but thereafter he outqualified senna never again. As for senna barging prost off at suzuka 90, i dont need to tell you who barged senna of and lost him the championship the year before on the same track. Senna never instigated such actions, only in hurtful revenge. As opposed to schumacher just tboning villeneuve and being disqualified from the entire 1997 world championship.. The hall of shame. Then stopping his car in monaco qualifying to stop alonso setting a faster time? Yes senna pushed the boundaries of sportsman ship in retaliation to others, schumacher simply had no sportsmanship, and 2010-2012 is a cosmic karma payback. I understand people starting to watch f1 as early as 1991 at the most, who have grown up idolising schumacher. Its natural. Its a shame that it had to be such a person to be their childhood idol, as opposed to a guy like senna. It was only discovered after Senna's death that he had donated close to 100million $ to charity. Something he kept secret all his life. When schumacher decided to donate 10 million $ to the victims of the tsunami he got Willy Webber to organise a televised press conference to announce it. That right there, in addition to the on track antics I have seen of both men since 1987 resp. 1991 tells me all I need to know about their character. Go In addition pfft, the whole field did not have TC in 1992, neither in 1993.. Hell, even the last manual gearshift f1 car was a 1995 forti I believe. Go And to add to Neweys statement that the 16 was sorted by Imola (imola changes to 16), there's crystal clear video footage of Senna talking directly to him and Dave Brown, saying the car was worse than at the previous gp. Michael Schumacher I am the Greatest Driver of All Time! 7x Word Drivers Champion ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Butterfly Every time there is a great controversy on his cars, Newey talks about the Senna crash. Modesto vargas The steering column snapped and senna was going to win the championship that year for sure… martin Well, that's a shame that still nowadays Newey embarks himself in such an embarassing attempt of blaming Ayrton for his death… A verdict was released in a second trial, in 2007, and stated that Patrick Head was guilty of ommited control, for allowing a very poor yelding on the steering column, which presented fatigue cracks as soon as in the first laps of the race at Imola. There is always a responsible, and that technical job could have been done so much better, escpecially, because if not, a man's life would be taken… as it happened to be. Kyr As usually Senna fans are attacking Schumacher with no reason. Wonder why… Go get a life please.

If you are a boss who wants to do great work, what can you do about it? Good Boss, Bad Boss is devoted to answering that question. Stanford Professor Robert Sutton weaves together the best psychological and management research with compelling stories and cases to reveal the mindset and moves of the best (and worst) bosses.
This book was inspired by the deluge of emails, research, phone calls, and conversations that Dr. Sutton experienced after publishing his blockbuster best seller The No Asshole Rule. He realized that most of these stories and studies swirled around a central figure in every workplace: THE BOSS. These heart-breaking, inspiring, and sometimes funny stories taught Sutton that most bosses - and their followers - wanted a lot more than just a jerk-free workplace. They aspired to become (or work for) an all-around great boss, somebody with the skill and grit to inspire superior work, commitment, and dignity among their charges.
©2010 Robert Sutton (P)2010 Hachette Audio
"We are damned lucky to have Bob Sutton. While his every word is backed up by significant research, he writes in simple sentences that make enormous sense.... Good Boss, Bad Boss is as good as it gets. (Tom Peters, author of The Little Big Things and co-author of In Search of Excellence)
"Most pragmatic management handbook"
Spend 20-years in management and you'll work your way through a tower of leadership development and management practices books. Some are insightful while most simply confirm the things you already knew. Good Boss, Bad Boss was different. Sutton provides not just conceptual truths gleaned from his research, but he gets down into the trenches and identifies specific, individual behaviors that can either help or hurt a manager or leader's efforts to perform the job. I cannot recall another book that eschewed theory and provided a practical roadmap as useful as that which Sutton provides here. Banish the Bosshole with this book.
I will recommend Audible to anyone who loves multi-tasking. I am able to learn while being active. It takes away my stress, totally!
"A must for supervisors"
When I wake up in the morning, I always say to myself...I will be kind to my staff.
This book strenghtened my beliefs that kindness begets kindness, respect begets respect.
One of the best books I've ever listened too. Thank you Mr. Sutton for great advice and insights.

"Seemed kind of angry"
It concerns me that people as described in the book exist. I've had little contact with these types over my career. Overall, the book had a very angry tone which made it harder to take seriously and absorb the material. It certainly outlines plenty of behavior "not to do", but I would hope few people would have gone that route anyway. But, then again, some must or the book wouldn't have been written!
"Will return because the narrator is horrible"
No. I could hardly follow this old sounding narrator.
What I could listen of the story was ok
A younger, more energetic reader. Bob Walter sounds like an old and tired man.

Finquest Securities has recommended `Buy` on Petronet LNG with a price target of Rs 203 as against the current market price (CMP) of Rs 162 in its report dated Mar. 06, 2012. The broking house gave the following rationale:
In India`s energy security, liquefied natural gas (LNG) remains indispensable. The demand for gas continues to be robust while gas production is likely to remain flat in the medium term, the importance of LNG is only going to increase. Petronet LNG (Q,N,C,F)* (PLNG) is well poised to cater to the opportunities provided by the widening demand-supply gap of natural gas. We initiaten coverage on the stock with a buy rating.
India`s natural gas demand is likely to grow at a CAGR of 11%-20% while the domestic natural gas supplies are likely to remain flat to declining in the medium term, LNG will hold the key to plug the widening demand-supply deficit. To cater to the increasing demand, PLNG is increasing its regassification capacity from the current 10 mmtpa to more than 25 mmtpa by FY16-17, as the company is increasing its capacity at the Dahej plant coupled with commissioning of the Kochi plant and a 5 mmtpa green-field regassification plant in Gangavaram in Andhra Pradesh.
PLNG has signed 7.5 mmtpa long term Supply Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Rasgas, Qatar on take or pay basis and subsequent back to back Gas Sales Purchase Agreement (GSPA) with the GAIL, BPCL and IOC. As per GSPA, the responsibility of volume intake lays with the off takers. Thus, PLNG is effectively shielded from volume risk on the long term contract. Over and above the long term Rasgas contract, the regassification cargoes of GAIL and GSPC coupled with strong demand for spot cargoes ensures strong volume visibility.
PLNG has contractual agreement wherein it escalates the regassification margin 5% annually. The company has effectively increased the regassification tariff for the last seven years. Also, the decline in domestic gas production and company`s low cost terminal wards off any pressure on the regassification margins. Also, PLNG charges marketing margin on spot cargoes it purchases mfor customers. For 9M FY12, PLNG has earned marketing margin of ~ Rs. 20-23 per mmbtu on spot cargoes.
At CMP, PLNG is trading at a PE multiple of 10.9x FY13E and 7.7x EV/EBIDTA FY13E.We value PLNG on DCF basis with a 12- month target price of Rs. 203, implying a potential return of 25.3% from the current levels. We believe, long term LNG tie up, higher than expected marketing margins and Kochi terminal`s regassification charges will lead to further upgrades in the stock.

Daily entries from the 17th century London diary
Thomas Butler,Lord Ossory,was the eldest son and heir to James Butler,Duke of Ormonde and Lord Deputy of Ireland. When Ormonde attended the court in London,Ossory ruled in his stead ,and when the former was in Dublin his son went to London in his capacity as Gentleman of the Bedchamber to Charles II,thus ensuring that a Butler always had the ear of the King.Ossory was also Lord-General of the Irish army,was awarded the Garter ,and in 1673 made a rear-admiral.
Thomas Butler, Earl of Ossory1 (M)
b. 8 July 1634, d. 30 July 1680,[ref #15860]
THOMAS, earl of Ossory, is well known to have sought fame in every part of Europe, and in every scene of action where it was to be acquired. In 1666, upon his return from Ireland, he paid a visit to the earl of Arlington, at his seat at Euston in Suffolk; where he happened to hear the firing or guns at sea, in the famous battle that began the first of June. He instantly prepared to go on board the fleet, where he arrived on the 3d of that month; and had the satisfaction of informing the duke of Albemarle, that prince Rupert was hastening to join him. He had his share in the glorious actions of that and the succeeding day. His reputation was much increased by his behaviour in the engagement off Southwold Bay. In 1673, he was successively made rear-admiral of the blue and the red squadrons: he having, in the battle of the 11th of August, that year, covered the Royal prince, on board of which Sir Edward Spragge commanded, and at length brought off the shattered vessel in tow. On the 10th of September following, he was, by the king, appointed admiral of the whole fleet, during the absence of prince Rupert.

Dear Editor:
In a recent op-ed piece in The Washington Post, Mark Thiessen noted the latest hypocrisy of the Obama administration.
In his article, Mr. Thiessenrecounted how during last year's election, Obama's campaign went nonstop after Mitt Romney for having investments in the Cayman Islands even though Mr. Romney did nothing illegal. He noted that Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt stated that even though Romney's actions were legal "is not technically breaking the law a high-enough standard for someone who wants to be president of the United States?"
Now, it turns out that Obama's pick to be Treasury secretary, Jack Lew, had an investment based in the Cayman Islands. I guess if you are a Democratic nominee for a cabinet position you can get away with things that would outrage the far left ifa Republican were to do the same.
Obama's hypocrisy is one thing you cannot blame the Republicans for, even though I am sure some will try it. Kool-Aid anyone?

Craig Safeway to close its doors Oct. 12
Updated September 26, 2013 at 5:19 p.m.
Craig A piece of paper was posted on the entrance to the Craig store Wednesday morning letting customers know the store would not honor its weekly ad.
The store opened its doors in 1929 and will close Oct. 12. Business hours have been shortened to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. until the closure.
Safeway's corporate office issued a statement to the Craig Daily Press on Wednesday afternoon saying the store will close "because the store has not met the grocer's expectations."
"We evaluated the store extensively for the past few years and looked at options to improve its performance. Ultimately, our business analysis indicated that we needed to cease operations at that location," Safeway spokeswoman Kris Staaf wrote in the statement.
Various areas of the local economy are expected to be impacted by the big-box store's closure, including the job sector.
The Craig Safeway has a staff of 35, some of whom might transfer to other Safeway locations in Steamboat Springs or Grand Junction. The Starbucks inside the grocery store will also close, Staaf said.
Financially, the city shouldn't take too big of a hit from loss of sales tax revenue, said Bruce Nelson, the city finance director.
"I don't see it having a huge impact on sales tax revenues, because people are still going to have to buy their groceries," Nelson said, adding that those sales numbers would likely migrate to City Market or Wal-Mart. "I think the big impact is going to be on the lost jobs."
Sales tax revenues were up in the city of Craig this year from 2011 and 2012, according to city of Craig data. In August, the city reported $304,967.36 in sales tax, a 3 percent increase from August 2012.
Kent Neilson, a Craig resident, is the owner of the 38,000-square-foot store that is located at the Centennial Mall. He expressed disappointment at the decision.
"It's definitely not good for me or the community," Neilson said. "It will take something big like a farm and ranch store or another grocery store to fill that. It would have to be a big business, and being in Craig, I don't know how that would work out."
Safeway is currently on an open lease and will continue to pay rent to Neilson until that runs out, he said.
"They are responsible for upkeep on the building," he said. "They probably feel like it's cheaper for them to close and pay their obligations to me."
Rumors of the store closing began to swirl in August, when the Safeway pharmacy was sold and closed.
Since then, the Safeway location has been constantly evaluated, Staaf said.
"We evaluate our stores constantly," she said. "These decisions are not easy. They take time. There's a lot that goes into it."
Community members were concerned for what the store's departure could mean for Craig.
"It's really sad and it won't be good for the mall," said Nadine Daskiewicz, of the Downtown Business Association. "Safeway has been here a long time and they've got some things there that the other stores don't have."
As of Wednesday, most perishable items in the store were marked down by 25 percent. Staaf said that further markdowns are likely to come and that the store is not making any new product orders, so the stock will get more meager as the closure date nears.
The bigger concern for both Daskiewicz and Neilson is having a large, vacant space in the heart of town.
"I'd feel bad if it was another of the big stores closing and I wasn't involved with it," Neilson said. "It's just not good for our community."

Good idea. There is the rec center everyone wants. Building already in place, just needs tuning up.
walt jones 1 year, 2 months ago
David, I agree with your observations in your post that was removed about the ambiance of the store. However I am think with the addition of walmart supercenter that took significant amounts of business away from Safeway. I'm not a walmart basher by any mean. If you look at a towns population over 9000 it takes 2 grocery stories to balance it out. Now that there are 3 the weaker one is closing.
David Moore 1 year, 2 months ago
Well, I was not trying to bash Safeway at all, just trying to point a couple things out. With the edition of Wal-Mart, the "other" grocery store seems to be doing just fine. It's bright, clean and friendly, not something I found at Safeway. Like is said, am really sorry to see folks lose their jobs. My idea, City Market needs to expand and become more like the ones in Steamboat and Rifle. Then they will need more people and some of those who lost might gain.
Becky Plummer 1 year, 1 month ago
Maybe City Market could move into the old Safeway building so they would have more parking available. That to me is the biggest downfall of City Market and they have no way to improve it.

Mad Sausage!Posted by Marc van Gurp | 12-03-2013 22:20 | Category: Animal rights
There are roughly two popular styles to promote vegetarianism. The PETA way: showing hooters because vegetarianism makes you beautiful and horny.
The other way is a funny video always ending with horrible pictures about factory farming.
This new campaign is from the second category.
It's funny and I like it. But I'm also curious about another angle. That we see so little.
In Mad Sausage we see a hungry young man gets served some serious food for thought when a sausage starts telling his dramatic life story. What he hears will change his life forever.
Director Louis van Zwol decided to create this spot after reading 'Eating Animals' by author Jonathan Safran Foer. Together with production company IamErika, he assembled a team of advertising and film professionals from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, who wanted to make a difference. This project is a product of both their love for film and sense of ethical responsibility towards animals.

Yah so I was up half the night listening to this Philp Henry show on the radio and I was listen to this jackass who is a doctor called in saying that he was divorced and had a new person in his life. He also referred to his girlfriend as Tracy and made everyone call her Tracy and not his girlfriend because it was disrepectful. He and "Tracy" have this theory that is called "The Bad News Theory." This was all brought on by Tracy. When the doctor's 16-year-old daughter broke curfew, "Tracy" brought the eldest daughter into another room and explained to her that her own mother (the doctor's ex wife) was an alcoholic. This he says is a punishment and the children don't even know it is a punishment. Awhile later, the youngest daughter lost two sweaters at school that her father bought from her and "Tracy" took her aside and told her that her mother had had an abortion. This is tramitizing for the children to hear these vicious things about their own mother whom they live with on a regular basis. The doctor only sees his daughters two weeks out of each month. So callers could call in and talk to this jackass and this 13-year-old girl called in and said her parents were divorced and that her mother was an alcoholic. The doctor asked her who had told her that her mother was an alcoholic and she replied her own mother did. Then she was trying to make a point of that by saying these tramitizing things to his daughters or anyone for that matter can cause a child to go into therapy for life. He then told this girl who was only 13 that if she was his child that he would push her into traffic and then asked her what she did to make her parents get a divorce. This guy was totally out of content to say that to a 13 year old. He was extremely crazy. Everything he talked about was about "Tracy." I seriously wanted to call in and just ream his ass out. He was full of shit and thought that this 23 year old was god, when he is 53 years of age and more knowledgeable then she ever could be. He also said that she babysat which gave her so much reason to disipline his daughters. This guy is such a jackass and he should seriously be shot in the head. And I feel so unbelieveably bad for his poor daughters who have to here such personal and upsetting things about their mother that are coming from their father's "Piece of meat" that he called her himself. I seriously would rather seem them stay with their mother and loose all visitation rights of them and die in hell. And he thinks "Tracy" is his soulmate but she is going to get sick of him real quick whether her friends think she's dumb for being with someone emotionally and sexual who is 30+ years older than her. That's sick not to mention insane! Or she will just get utterly sick of him cause he will get really old and wrinkly and she will want some hot young guy to fuck and if she isn't already cheating on him. Or she is pulling the whole Anna Nicole thing where she married him for his money and is waiting until he dies which if there is a god sometime soon! Okay rant over! :)*Shelle*

Hooray For August!!

Woot! It's the month that our babies will be born (hopefully) That is, unless I am more than a week overdue, in which case I will cry. I've never been overdue before, I've always gone right around my due date. Leah was 2 days past her due date, Nora was 2 days before her due date, and Lydia was on her due date. I'm hoping this LO wants to come a week early because being pregnant throughout the entire summer with reccord breaking heat isn't my idea of a good time.
I go from being extremely excited that we're going to have a brand spanking new precious little baby to love on and cuddle with and be nursing all over again and over the moon in love with, to terrified that I'm going right back into the whole no sleep, feed a baby every 2 hours, dealing with colic, breast feeding issues, sibling issues, healing after the delivery and all the pain that goes with that.
I've started nesting BIG TIME. I've never had the urge to nest before but for some reason this time I can't seem to relax until everything is in a row. I start maternity leave on Friday...WOOT for that. So I've been scrambling to get all my loose ends tied up before then. I made 12 freezer meals yesterday (hello insanity!) And tomorrow I plan to clean the fridge and the pantry out.
Anyone else as excited and or terrified as I am?!?!
|Thu, 08-02-2012 - 9:38am
I am totally with you on the cross between excited and terrified! I still have 3 weeks from today. And that is a week early - but part of me wants it to be sooner b/c I am so excited! I just absolutely cannot wait to have that little baby in my arms!
On the other hand when I think of the baby coming early - I get terrified. That could mean the doctor I want won't be able to deliver the baby and plus there are things I'd prefer to get done before then etc. I have a mental nesting going on - b/c there are all sorts of things I want to do at home - cleaning, organizing, pulling out all the baby stuff etc. And I've been doing what I can with that - but I just don't have the energy to do as much as I want as fast as I want - which is why the baby can just stay put!! We don't have much going on this weekend for once - so I am hoping to get most of what I want done - just in case! Then I think I will be less nervous/terrified.
I will say, even having the repeat c-section kind of makes me nervous too! I'm not exactly sure why. I had a planned one the last time and it went fine - so not sure why I'm worried about this one, but I mean it is a big surgical procedure, so probably normal for me to be nervous.

All my nesting is done. Thank god. I've never nested except this pregnancy, and it's been an experience. I'm over it. Ha.

Round-table to support anti-trafficking efforts in Poland
On 15 April 2014 the Anti-Trafficking Division of the Council of Europe, in co-operation with the Unit against Trafficking in Human Beings of the Ministry of the Interior of Poland, organised a round-table meeting in Warsaw for some 30 representatives of relevant ministries and public agencies, non-governmental organisations, trade unions and research centres.
The meeting took place two years after the first evaluation visit to Poland by the Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA) and one year after the publication of GRETA's report. Participants discussed measures taken by Poland to strengthen the implementation of the Convention in the light of GRETA's report and ways in which the Council of Europe can support Poland in its anti-trafficking efforts.
Poland is expected to provide information of the measures taken to implement the recommendations made by GRETA and the Committee of the Parties by 7 June 2015.

WINDPOWER 2014: Getting ready for DOE's Collegiate Wind Competition
Having just arrived this afternoon at WINDPOWER 2014, I knew from the start that I wanted to swing by the Department of Energy's Collegiate Wind Competition. Ten teams from universities across the country have brought their best to Las Vegas, offering up competing wind turbine designs, but this isn't just an engineering test.
One team explains their design
Competitors must have a business model, requiring the work necessary to launch their potential product as the "real thing," not just a school project. As I walked between the booths, watching students eat dinner and work on some complex part at the same time, I could tell that everyone who'd made the trek to Las Vegas this week was serious about this competition – and wind power.
One of the two wind tunnels used to test the turbines
Tomorrow (Tuesday 5/6) each team will be testing their turbine design from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Wednesday will require teams to present their business case for their design, with public pitches (2:30 p.m.), a reception (5:00 p.m.), and the final awards ceremony (5:30).
Stay tuned to the AWEA Blog for updates on the DOE Collegiate Wind Competition tomorrow and Wednesday!
Be sure to check out the Wind Energy Foundation's Emily Jorgensen's recent blog on the competition.

I made exactly according to directions, and it was very flat and bland. Couldn't even taste the peanut butter which is why I chose this recipe. It is more like a soup than a stew. I'm sure you could keep altering the ingredients to get it right, but why bother when there are so many other great recipes out there. Also, making this dish with bone in chicken was very difficult to serve. I had to separate the chicken first from the stew to make sure there were no bones in the servings. You could use boneless chicken breasts, I but I think cooking it 2.5 hours would be too much. Save your energy and try another recipe.

Many people will ask, "What is Occupy?", and you would get many different answers, because Occupy is an inclusive "platform of people", not of party ideology. The Occupy Movement is people focused on people issues, not in manipulating others for personal and/or political gain. Instead of demanding that you conform, Occupy draws it's vision and direction from the hopes, dreams, and voices of the 99%.
Occupy is a movement of people across America, and the World seeking an end to governments, institutions, and policies that create social inequity and injustice for the common man and woman. In this age of technology and scientific advances we should be creating a better world for all living beings, while protecting our planet, but that is not the path governments, corporations, and special interest have directed their efforts down, despite the will of the people or electorate.
In fact, legislation and deregulation has brought about free trade agreements and globalization, with the exploitation of people and environment on one end, and declining living standards, homelessness, and poverty at the other.
The gutting of protective legislation pushed by special interest, and assisted by your elected politicians, such as the Glass-Steagall Act which was enacted after corporate misbehavior caused the Great Depression in 1929, resulted in the Great Recession which started in 2008. The recession is now being called a "Second Great Depression" by some economist's.
The Supreme Court decisions leading up to, and culminating in Citizens United vs FEC led to the rise of Super PAC's and an endless supply of money that funds, dominates, corrupts, and disenfranchises the average persons ability to get factual information about candidates, issues, and ultimately their vote.
These are just three pieces of legislation among hundreds as an example, that show the deep impact of the 1%, and corporate influence on the government, and hence the lives of the 99%, or the average American. The common theme that runs through all of these is that each was initiated by, benefited the rich elite, or the wealthiest 1%, and corporations, and each caused, and continues to cause emotional and physical suffering, hardship, and disenfranchisement of the 99%, or the average American, both now, and into the foreseeable future.
So, Occupy is a broad group of individuals, each recognized, each with a voice that is heard, contributing to a flowing Movement of change, by bringing attention to, educating each other and the public about, and addressing issues effecting the 99%, representing every kind of people, using pen, paper, protest, vote, nonviolent civil disobedience, collaboration, and social networking. Occupy is earthy, contemporary, and technologically savvy, a Movement with a disproportionate amount of America's most hard hit generations, America's Youth. Occupy is Edgy, but your accepting defeat, or fighting for your independence. The Movement is not about hate, exclusion, or violence, but love, inclusion, and democracy. Occupy This !
