By Rhonda Smith
Aug. 4 - The push to remove from job applications questions about whether a prospective employee has been convicted of a crime is gaining momentum nationwide, advocates and opponents of this effort told Bloomberg BNA.
Many employers continue to push back against blanket approval of ban-the-box policies, arguing that they have an obligation to keep workplaces safe and avoid negligent hiring or employment discrimination claims. In some cases, they are working with advocates to hammer out a proposal that holds appeal for both sides.
"The potential for lawsuits, that's really what this is about," Jack Mozloom, a spokesman for the National Federation of Independent Business's New England and mid-Atlantic region, told Bloomberg BNA July 31.
"Most of these proposals we've seen make it easier for employers to be sued on the basis of some discriminatory action if they refuse to hire people with a felony record," he said. "That's an enormous danger for small business owners."
Hawaii was the first state to approve a ban-the-box law, in 1998, according to the National Employment Law Project, which is tracking the developments.
Today, more than 60 cities and counties and 12 states have enacted laws and policies that require public or private employers, or both, to remove the question about criminal history from job applications, NELP said in its latest
, released in July and titled "Statewide Ban the Box: Reducing Unfair Barriers to Employment of People With Criminal Records."
New Jersey is set to become the thirteenth state to enact a ban-the-box law, with Gov. Chris Christie (R) having signed legislation (
) Aug. 11 that will bar public and private employers in the state from inquiring about a job applicant's criminal record until after the first interview is completed, unless the applicant voluntarily discloses such information. The Opportunity to Compete Act, which will take effect March 1, 2015, applies to most employers with 15 or more employees.
Advocates said efforts to gain approval of ban-the-box policies are unfolding in Texas, Ohio, Georgia and Nebraska, as well as in the localities of Indianapolis and Louisville, Ky.
The laws generally allow employers to ask about a job applicant's criminal conviction record later in the hiring process, such as during the interview phase or when a job offer is made. In addition, they frequently exempt employers that are required to conduct criminal background checks or when the position involves minors or other vulnerable populations.
NELP said about 70 million people in the U.S. have some sort of criminal record, and nearly 700,000 return to communities annually after being released from jail or prison.
When job-seekers convicted of a crime can't find a job, they end up either "going back to jail or working under the table," Marina Streznewski, executive director of the D.C. Jobs Council, told Bloomberg BNA July 22.
"Some get lucky," she said, "because they encounter people willing to give them a shot."
Many, however, are not so lucky, proponents of ban-the-box laws said.
"There's a lot of stigma with a criminal record; too often an employer doesn't hear beyond that," Michelle Natividad Rodriguez, a senior staff attorney at NELP's office in Oakland, Calif., told Bloomberg BNA July 22. "By delaying the question, you give the person an opportunity to show who they are and what their skills are."
NELP said in its state update, "In an era of extreme mass incarceration, these fair chance campaigns provide a platform to educate the public about the stigma of a criminal record and the real consequences to our society of depriving millions of Americans with past convictions of economic stability."
"There's a lot of stigma with a criminal record; too often an employer doesn't hear beyond that," said Michelle Natividad Rodriguez, a senior staff attorney for NELP.
The nonpartisan organization also said that "many advocates embrace as the next step in the evolution of these policies" more ban-the-box initiatives geared toward private employers.
Five states-Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Rhode Island-now prohibit private as well as public employers from posing questions about a job applicant's conviction history until later in the hiring process, NELP said.
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn (D) recently signed "fair hiring" legislation that will bar most employers from making inquiries into job applicants' criminal histories until the interview phase of the hiring process.
The District of Columbia Council unanimously approved a bill recently that would bar most private employers from asking about a job applicant's criminal conviction record until a conditional job offer is made. D.C. enacted a law in 2011 that restricts public employers' inquiries about a job applicant's criminal history until later in the hiring process.
Ban-the-box laws are not identical. Some, such as the city of Baltimore's law, involve harsher penalties than most of their counterparts in other locations.
Click above graphic to enlarge
Baltimore's Fair Criminal-Record Screening Practices ordinance, approved in April by the city council and signed May 29 by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, covers the majority of employers in that city that have 10 or more employees. Like most of the other laws, it excludes facilities or employers that provide programs, services or direct care to minors or vulnerable adults.
It also bars employer questions about a job applicant's conviction history until after a conditional job offer is made. In addition, the law provides administrative and judicial review of and remedial relief for violations.
"Uniquely, the ordinance provides for misdemeanor criminal charges and a fine to be levied against employers who violate the law," NELP said in a resource
that highlights ban-the-box laws in U.S. cities and counties.
The fine must be no more than $500 or imprisonment for no more than 90 days, or both a fine and imprisonment for each offense.
Rawlings-Blake released a statement in April that said passage of the ordinance would be a critical component to "not only helping to reduce unemployment, but also improving public safety by addressing recidivism."
"When it comes to the crime fight, we have to use every tool available, which includes creating opportunities for those who have paid their debt to society and want to turn their lives around," she said. "Access to a good job can make the difference between a repeat offender or a productive member of society."
Business leaders contend that, if such legislation is not hammered out carefully, it might do more harm than good.
"All businesses have very legitimate concerns about workplace safety and potential liability for making a bad hire," Beth Milito, senior executive counsel for the National Federation of Independent Business, told Bloomberg BNA July 31. The NFIB has 350,000 members, primarily employers with fewer than 10 employees, she said.
"The real risk for the employer is a discrimination claim by the individual or the EEOC, claiming the employer is using a job applicant's criminal history to discriminate," Chicago-based management attorney Brian Arbetter, a partner with Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP, told Bloomberg BNA July 30.
In 2012, the EEOC approved updated
enforcement guidance
on potential discrimination resulting from employers' use of individuals' arrest and conviction records to make hiring and other employment decisions.
The guidance states that although Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act does not bar use of criminal background checks, employers may violate Title VII if they intentionally discriminate among individuals with similar criminal histories or if their policies have a disproportionate adverse impact based on race, national origin, or another protected category, and employers cannot demonstrate "business necessity."
Milito said many ban-the-box policies exempt employers that have 10 employees or less, but some do not.
In Minnesota, for example, all employers, regardless of how many employees they have, are covered under that state's law.
In addition, Milito said the laws can prove time-consuming, especially for small businesses, which often don't have human resource personnel to oversee the hiring process.
"It can be challenging for a small business to make nuanced hiring decisions or postpone a background check until later in the process," she said, "particularly if public safety is paramount."
Arbetter echoed Milito. "Because of these types of laws, it's possible employers will waste time by getting much deeper in the hiring process with a candidate who has a criminal history and who could be disqualified, but the employer won't know that immediately," he said.
If a job candidate's criminal history subsequently disqualifies him or her for a job, he added, "the employer has spent a lot of time and has to start its hiring process over."
Arbetter advises affected employers to change their job applications to remove criminal history inquiries.
"If it's an interview position, don't ask about criminal history until after the interview," he said.
"The real risk for the employer is a discrimination claim by the individual or the EEOC, claiming the employer is using a job applicant's criminal history to discriminate," management attorney Brian Arbetter said.
If it involves a non-interview position, such as for a data-entry or computer-coding job, he said, "make the offer letter conditional. Say, 'To qualify for the position, we will have to conduct a criminal history background check.' "
Arbetter also said if an employer uses a third-party vendor to conduct criminal background checks, and the vendor begins its vetting process electronically based on the job application, "work with vendors to make sure criminal history elements are not pulled up automatically."
In addition, he said, "From a discrimination protection standpoint, it's always good to try to have a good reason why you're picking someone for a job over other people." Having a written note explaining that "probably can help," in case an applicant not selected alleges employment discrimination, he said.
"When defending companies over hiring and not hiring," he said, "the paperwork-retaining the files-is always what matters the most."
By design or default, some employers are adopting ban-the-box policies quicker than others.
Rodriguez cited Target Corp., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Bed Bath & Beyond as examples of national retailers that no longer ask about an applicant's conviction record during the initial phase of the hiring process.
In April, Bed Bath & Beyond agreed to take steps to comply with New York laws barring automatic disqualification of job candidates with criminal convictions.
A state investigation of the company began in May 2013 after the attorney general's office learned that an HR manager for the New Jersey-based business had told participants at a job fair that it doesn't hire individuals with felony convictions, regardless of any evidence of rehabilitation.
Bed Bath & Beyond said at the time, and in a written statement it sent July 29 to Bloomberg BNA: "Although the Settlement does not include any admission that we violated any of these laws, we are in agreement with the Attorney General that employment opportunities should remain open to individuals with criminal histories that have been rehabilitated. In advancement of that goal, we fully cooperated with the Attorney General's investigation and as part of our agreement will continue to share information with the Attorney General that demonstrates our continued compliance with these laws."
In Minnesota, Ben Gerber, manager of energy and labor/management policy at the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce in St. Paul, told Bloomberg BNA July 31: "A lot of our members have had amazing success hiring convicted felons. But that doesn't take away from the fact that there's always the risk of negligent hiring lawsuits later on."
The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers said in a
released in May, "There should be meaningful tax credits for hiring or housing those with convictions."
Other recommendations the NACDL made in "Collateral Damage: America's Failure to Forgive or Forget in the War on Crime" included:
• free bonding to provide insurance to cover employee dishonesty for those who hire individuals with convictions; and
• immunity from negligent hiring liability relating to an opportunity or benefit given to a person with a conviction if the decision maker complies with federal, state and local laws and policies limiting the use of criminal records.
Gerber said immunity from negligent hiring liability is "actually what we would have liked to have seen" in the Minnesota law.
The NACDL report said, "Government at all levels must find creative ways to give employers, landlords and other decision-makers affirmative incentive to offer opportunities to those with convictions."
In some cities, bipartisan efforts are under way to gain approval of ban-the-box policies.
The Minnesota chamber initially opposed that state's proposal, Gerber said, but ultimately remained neutral on it.
"Even when we opposed it, it had bipartisan support," he added. "Liberals and conservatives feel it's a religious duty to reintegrate people back into society."
Sarah C. Walker, founder of the Minnesota Second Chance Coalition, echoed Gerber. The coalition is made up of advocates for criminal justice reform policies and helped lead the effort in that state to pass laws that cover public and private employers. The law affecting private employers took effect Jan. 1.
"Most organizations have moved away from tough-on-crime to a smart-on-crime stance," she told Bloomberg BNA July 31. "They say, 'We don't want people to come out of prison and never be able to work.' " Walker said efforts to gain approval of ban-the-box policies are unfolding in Texas and Ohio.
In Georgia, Gov. Nathan Deal (R) "has indicated that the state will set an example for private sector employment by not automatically dismissing job applicants with a criminal history," NELP said.
"Gov. Deal has said he's going to issue an executive order to take the question off the application," Rodriguez told Bloomberg BNA.
She added that lawmakers in Nebraska recently passed ban-the-box legislation that affects public employment. Bipartisan efforts to gain approval of such policies also are under way in Indianapolis and Louisville, Ky., she said.
"Being able to see common ground on criminal justice reform is really hopeful," Rodriguez said.

Armour BreakfastMakers Hosts Free-Admission Day At San Antonio Children's Museum
LISLE, Ill., Nov. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Armour® BreakfastMakers™ turned the San Antonio Children's Museum into a breakfast place. Armour BreakfastMakers, a new line of ready-to-eat refrigerated breakfast items, sponsored the museum's admission costs for the entire day so that kids of all ages could learn and play for free. It was the first time that admission to the museum was free for the entire day. As part of the day's happenings, Armour hosted special activities and exhibits, and handed out samples of Armour BreakfastMakers' six varieties to everyone at the museum. Whether it's at home, at a playground, on a boat or in today's case, at the museum, Armour BreakfastMakers truly make anyplace a breakfast place.
(Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131109/CL14066 )
"At Armour BreakfastMakers, we believe in making things simple and easy as possible, and our goal this morning was to make it convenient and hassle-free for families to visit the San Antonio Children's Museum," said Shivika Jamison, brand manager for Armour. "We understand that it can be difficult for families to take kids on weekend outings. We're excited to treat them to a day of fun and education at the museum without worrying about the usual logistics. We hope that everyone was able to enjoy their day."
Armour made sure that everyone started their day off right. They gave all of the museum goers free Armour BreakfastMakers and Yoo-hoo, which was contributed by the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group.Kids at the San Antonio Children's Museum were treated to an inventor's workshop. The workshop was a hands-on exercise in using science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and focused on making those subjects fun for kids as they learn. The educational excitement didn't stop there, though. Kids learned a thing or two about geography as well. Thanks to a green screen photo booth that Armour provided, kids got their picture taken at exotic locations from all over the globe. They were photographed eating breakfast in front of backdrops of the beach, outer space and an exotic safari. The pictures were printed and given to each kid free of charge.

Today I saw a sign telling people how to successfully get off an escalator. Are people really that stupid these days?
this is why there are so many stupid people in the world today. we have too many signs and warning labels we need to let the stupid die off doing stupid things so there are naturally more smart people. isn't that how humans are supposed to evolve like the rest of the animals?
ever read the back of the shampoo bottle they have directions on there too.
take the warning labels of everything. let the idiots sort themselves out :)
darwinism... i miss natural selection. my bother in law would not be here if it was working.
half the planet wouldn't be here .. :)
Escalator rides are like near death experiences to me. Diagrams are a helpful distraction, imo.
I was going to ask hat too..its right there at the bottom so if u are trying to read it u will trip your way off of it? Brilliant planning.
our signs are at the top
What about the directions on shampoo bottles that state lather, rinse, repeat. Like you are not going to figure that outand walk around all day with shampoo on my hair
Nah just kids bein kids
ever see the instructions for those iron on patches that read "Do not iron while wearing shirt"? ahh.. only in America =)
you know whats worse - an automated voice warning you that youve reached the top of the escalator.... grrrrrrr .... i want them to replace it with " WATCH WHERE YOURE GOING FOR A CHANGE YOU F%^$i&G MORON " on a loop !
oooh another one - picked a can of sardines up at the supermarket - WARNING CONTAINS FISH - really - should read " WARNI ... no id better not ! im i second gear now
They have instructions on how to toast pop tarts on the box. So yes, there are people that stupid.
I think this is a benefit to small children who sometimes get pulled into them but honestly by the time they read them it's too late. 0.o
True, that is exactly what I thought too. :S
Haha...I've never noticed one of those... I have been successfully riding escalators since I was a child so I've got the routine down. Maybe I'm doing it all wrrong tho *gasp* maybe there is a more efficent way?
I'm so going to look for one of those signs. (Yes, I am easily amused) was it written directions or stick people in picture form?
maybe its more that theyre that greedy theyll sue if its not there.
yep,thats the law
yeah sad but true..
Oh yes, definitely!
maybe there is someone who is intellectually disabled and maybe need the help of signs and pictures so that they are safe. i would rather have the signs put up so that even children can understand when to get off.
maybe. maybe it could have been placed on the beginning of the escalator.
It's not that people need instructions, but rather covering your *** 101, the companies don't want to be sued if there ever was an accident. People these days are not stupid, they are greedy and always looking for a way to get money without having to work.

Looking for someone funny, who can carry a conversation from politics to world affairs to stupid stuff and who is not intimidated by a successful woman. I am laid back, enjoy being around friends, traveling, last minute plans, the beach, biking and a good laugh.

Games I Have
Just a list of the games I have right now, with a side note of how or why I have them.
Just a list of the games I have right now, with a side note of how or why I have them.
Back when I got my Xbox I didn't have that much cash. So I got a bunch of used games. I like Sega so back then I got anything that had the logo on the box. Good thing at the time Sega was making pretty good games.
Once again, got this one used due to low income. It's Crazy Taxi, if you have one you got them all. Though this one is the most complete one.
I hated the other ones for some reason. But I like this one, it's not a good game but it's funny so that was enough for the 10 bucks I got this for.
Great game. I missed out on the Saturn (the whole thing) and I wanted to see what was so great about this series. Now I see.
Awesome game, It's pretty much THPS but with Inline skating. I like that. My inspiration for being an angry gamer came from the intro of this game.
My favorite Xbox game. I didn't get to go online ever with this game. So when they added split-sceen I was able to play with my brother who also loves this game. Rangers are the best. It took me forever to find this game!
A really rare game I got, its Jet Grind Radio meets Tony Hawk. It's fun.
The first game I got for the 360. The hype for this game was huge. The trailers looked AWESOME. But with Yuji Naka leaving Sonic Team and all, it was full of bugs. Sadly the reason I got the 360.
The second game I got for the 360. This game gives you 1000 points for just completing the main quest. Barely any grinding needed. I liked it a lot but not as good as PSO.
I got it since it got game of the year all over the place. Dang it's good. Really. Best game this generation probably.
Just got it again for like 5 bucks. GREAT game, my favorite ps2 game. Sorry Jak & Daxter, you are still super cool.
A game that needs to introduction. One of the best platformers ever, and that happens to be my favorite kind of game. Got it back for less than $10.
Contra rules as we all know it. This one is great as well.
Finaly got this game yesterday. It goes back to the PSO way of making your character but still has some stuff from PSU. Liking it a LOT so far.
My first copy got F'ed up because I got it used from gamestop. Check the games you get before you realise someone traded in a copy from Blockbuster. Those bastards.
Great sequel. I wanna play the multiplayer but don't got much free time. Also I wanna hear the spanish voice acting.
Great game. I loved the first one and this one is also really good.
The second one is still my favorite but this one is still worth picking up. Great combat as always. Got it the week it came out.
One of the last good Sega games. This game is really hard, I think I have to dedicate a month to beat just the last boss. Still, a fun and tight game.
Dude, it's Castlevania. With magic instead of weapons.
My favorite PSP game. The music is awesome and well, it's Mega man X!
Most of the Sonic games you need. It even comes with Ristar!
Finaly! This game is now mine!!! Time to HIT THAT RAMP!
It's like in Castlevania. A great Christmas present! Thanks!
Duel, get cards, duel some more, get more cards. You can go online. Just needs online trading.
One of the best birthday presents EVER!
Good thing I got my PS3 back after letting my sister borrow it for a few months.
After replaying this game again, I think i'll pick this one for game of the year 2009. The co-op really makes this game so much fun. Even if you play it alone it's the best game in my opinion this year.
I once had the US version of the game, now thanks to lik-sang.com I got the special edition JP version with a golden coin and a soundtrack.
I have both versions, I didn't finish the DC version though. Great game and a testament to what Sega once was: a company that made fun and innovative games.
A rare one I have by chance. IGN ran an article on it so when I saw it at an import shop I said why not, they loved it.
Man this game had so much potential. One minute I'm loving it and the next I just wanna rip it a new one.
Fun lego game and you can't go wrong with "Everything is AWESOME!".
Backlog. Hmmmm a new list idea!
Cool pack-in game for WiiU

Biotech Stock Mailbag: Orexigen Therapeutics
Avanir's stock price fell fairly sharply from the peak hit right after Neudexta's approval last October but the stock has started to come back lately as the launch date nears.
Pat. W. asks, "Adam, I have been following Discovery Labs (DSCO) for many years and I thinking it's time to invest in Surfaxin getting a favorable review. My concern is buying before a possible reverse stock split and/or continued dilution of the stock, but I like your optimistic view of Surfaxin. What price per share range would you give Discovery if Surfaxin gets approval? Thanks."
I was feeling more snarky than usual Thursday morning, so in response to Discovery's announcement of yet another conference call scheduled to explain the 4,672nd delay in the Surfaxin resubmission process, I tweeted this:
"Memo to $DSCO CEO Tom Amick: STFU! No conf calls. No PRs. Not until you get Surfaxin approved. No one cares until then -- 2015? 2020?"And I mean it. Amick really need to shut his mouth and just get the job done. Enough explanations, enough excuses. Talk to investors after Surfaxin is approved. Until then, his words are useless. As for investing in Discovery, haven't you been hurt enough already? Revisit the stock when Surfaxin is approved, if ever. --Written by Adam Feuerstein in Boston.

Audley Harrison ponders future after David Price defeat
Britain's Audley Harrison is mulling over his future after being knocked out by David Price in the first round of their heavyweight contest on Saturday.
The 2000 Olympic champion's challenge for Price's British and Commonwealth titles lasted only 82 seconds.
Harrison, 40, stated: "I have said when I turn up to win, and lose to nothing other than ability, I will know my time is up, so this could be my last bout.
"I'll take some time as I never want to come back once I've walked away."
Harrison's highs and lows
- 1997: Becomes British super heavyweight champion
- 1998: Wins gold at the Commonwealth Games in Malaysia
- 2000: Wins gold at the Sydney Olympics
- December 2005: Loses Commonwealth title fight to Danny Williams on a split decision
- February 2007: Knocked out by Michael Sprott for the European Union title
- April 2010: Beats Sprott to win the vacant EBU belt
- November 2010: Loses to WBA champion David Haye, only landing one punch
- October 2012: Knocked out by British and Commonwealth champion David Price after 82 seconds
Harrison, who spent several minutes on the canvas receiving treatment following the defeat, was booed from the ring at the Liverpool Echo Arena.
He was magnanimous enough in defeat to praise his opponent but feels his age is now against him.
"I want to congratulate David Price and his team on executing his game-plan so effectively," Harrison continued in a statement.
"I said I had prepared very well for this bout and it showed. I was in great shape and went out there with no fear, believing I could win it.
"I was really in the zone, didn't get fazed by the crowd, or atmosphere and stayed focused on the task. After eight years, I finally had control of myself again.
"My whole game plan was about avoiding his right, so to get lined up like that is a disappointment for me.
"Father time has caught up with me, as I didn't see the initial shot, so could not react. He finished me off like a good pro, so I have no complaints. I have a broken nose for my troubles.
"If it's to end here, what a ride it's been and I'm grateful to the universe for allowing me to find my destiny and walk the precarious road my way."

If the olympic's lowered the age of boxers able to compete to 22 - 23 then people like Harrison would be a thing of the past. He won gold aged nearly 30 and got an ego. If you take 30 years to win a medal it will take 1000 years to win a world belt. Retire man.

Ernest Hemingway would be 115 today, and for that we've shared what others have to say about the author — deemed by some as the "most interesting man in the world." According to Huffington Post:
The events of his life sound like the stuff of novels: his service as an ambulance driver during World War I, his two near-death experiences while on a safari in Africa, his sail through the Caribbean aboard a 38-foot fishing boat.
His rugged life earned him a reputation for being almost comically masculine, and when the words "alpha male" are uttered, he's one of the examples that springs to mind.
15 photos of Ernest Hemingway being the ultimate alpha male http://t.co/rxyW9UQxP6 pic.twitter.com/MtPszCR3sT
— Huffington Post (@HuffingtonPost) July 21, 2014
Hemingway also was a fan of walks, according to this post from Huffington Post's Editor-in-Chief Arianna Huffington:

Some tips on picking chanterelle mushrooms in BC
So far in our ON THE ROAD TO series presented by Toyota BC we've taken you on adventures to Sasquatch Provincial Park, the Okanagan, LA and back on $400 gas, Alouette Lake near Maple Ridge the Squamish estuary and the insanely beautiful Jones Lake.
When the season starts to turn from summer to fall in Vancouver, many of us turn our thoughts to the edible mushrooms that begin to pop up right as the rain sets in. It varies from year to year but mid October has been a pretty great month for the much-celebrated chanterelle harvest over the past few. Today we're taking you on the road in search of this mighty orange mushroom that everybody's talking about!
Step-by-step guide to foraging chanterelles in BC
By Vancouver Is Awesome
As fall arrives in British Columbia, so do these wonderful mushrooms!
Get yourself onto a Gulf Island
By Vancouver Is Awesome
It's no secret that the Gulf Islands are ripe with edible fungus. BC Ferries is your gateway to mushroomville (Galiano, Mayne, Pender and Salt Spring Islands are all safe bets).
Bring along a portable guide
By Vancouver Is Awesome
Some of these shown here are edible and some are not. Thankfully for us amateur shroom foragers, Harbour Publishing does a pocket sized field guide to them all. Bring it. It could save your life!
Find a trail or get a hot tip
By Vancouver Is Awesome
If you're lucky, locals will share secret spots with you (just ask). When that fails find any trail and follow it. Look for orange under fir and hemlock trees and when you see it head into the brush!
Where there's one, there are many
By Vancouver Is Awesome
Once you find one, keep to the general area where you found it. There are bound to be many more in relatively close proximity.
As I mentioned, you're going to want to get your hands on Harbour's Field Guide to Edible Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest (HERE). At only 8 bucks, it's the best insurance policy you'll ever buy. It's basically a large piece of laminated paper (that folds up and you keep in your pocket) with info on what kind of mushrooms you'll be finding and how to identify them. When in doubt, do NOT eat the mushrooms you find out there unless you're absolutely sure what they are. Luckily there aren't any poisonous ones that look like chanterelles so it's hard to mistake these beauties.

Amazon is getting serious about using drones for deliveries. It's seeking permission from the government to expand testing on unmanned aircraft's. The online retailer has asked the Federal Aviation Administration to conduct outdoor tests near its Seattle headquarters. Right now it can only experiment with drones on government testing sites. Amazon says its Prime Air service will deliver packages in 30 minutes or less. And one day, seeing Amazon drones will be as normal as seeing mail trucks. They hope to make drone delivery a reality by 2015.
And, Amazon is being sued by the Federal Trade Commission, because the FTC says the company illegally billed parents for millions of dollars in unauthorized in-app charges. The charges were made by children through mobile devices. The FTC wants the court to force Amazon to refund the money to those customers. In-app purchases usually involve virtual goods bought within an app like extra coins or energy in a game. Back in 2011, Amazon launched in-app purchases, and didn't have password requirements. This allowed kids to buy items without restraint. Now, passwords are required.
That's your Daily Tech.

Some enemies hide in areas where you cannot shoot them. Throw a grenade at them and they will jump out of hiding. When they jump out, they will land on the ground on their stomachs. They will require a few seconds to get back up. Before they do, aim and shoot them or they will go back and hide again...From: bondy

Aaah, spring -- it's finally sprung! After months of craving comfort foods, I'm about to start lightening things up a little, meaning, thoughts of heavy puddings are pushed aside in favour of smaller, lighter sweet treats.
Today I'm sharing an easy spring dessert that I first discovered a few years ago in Paris: the macaron craquelé (or macarons de Nancy).
These are not your typical, tricky-to-make macarons. With just 3 ingredients in the cookies, they are a cinch to make. Different than the macarons you're probably used to seeing, these are supposed to have cracked tops -- they are more like a cookie texture than delicate, airy macarons. These are macarons à l'ancienne, as they were eaten before Ladurée created the version most of us know today.
Macarons craquelés (Macarons de Nancy)
It's said that macarons originated back in the late 1700s when Carmelite nuns baked sweet cookies with almond meal as a way of supplementing their meat-free diet. According to the Larousse Gastronomique, these nuns followed Theresa of Avila's principle to the letter: "Almonds are good for girls who don't eat meat." During the French Revolution, two nuns in hiding in the French town of Nancy started making and selling macarons, becoming known as "Les Soeurs Macarons." In 1952, the street where their bakery and store was located was named after them and macarons de Nancy are still sold there today.
The original cookie was simply ground almonds, sugar and egg whites, and not sandwiched together with ganache. The macarons craquelés that I ate in Paris had a thin filling joining two flat cookies together, which I've used in this recipe to make these "plain" cookies just a little fancier.
I filled mine with a strawberry cream cheese frosting and coloured them pink for spring, but they really are so very versatile that you can make them in virtually any colour and fill them with an appropriately flavoured filling (check out some other fabulous Philly frostings that would be perfect to sandwich these cookies together!).

Sci-fi fans love them some Eliza Dushku, and the sexy Dollhouse star is giving them even more to drool over by posing for the March issue of Maxim. For the photos, the former Buffy and Tru Calling actress went with a retro, sexy-but-"classy" movie star look. Dushku did a cover shoot for the men's magazine back in 2001 — which, according to the actress, had her three big brothers all up in arms. If her crop top got them all fired up last time, then they definitely won't mind their little sis posing in tiny black lingerie, right?

I for one am glad someone finally took a stand and said something about this. It always sounds so strange to me when men say that. I don't know if you know this, but men can't get pregnant. Unless we're talking about seahorse men. Those can, but human men cannot. More
I mean, I was already jealous of Mila Kunis, but mostly for her shiny hair and overall gorgeousness, not her relationship with the guy from Punk'd. More
Sometimes I worry nobody taught celebrities of Hollywood about birth control. I love babies as much as anyone, but when I hear Megan Fox discussing her unplanned pregnancies as if she'd have no idea of how to go about planning them, I get a little nervous. More
