By AP/St. Louis Public Radio
BLOOMINGTON, Ill. – Republican Bill Brady has conceded the extremely close race for Illinois governor to Democratic incumbent Pat Quinn.
The state senator from Bloomington thanked supporters in his
hometown Friday and says he's called to congratulate Quinn.
Brady was joined by his running mate Jason Plummer and family
when he delivered his concession speech.
The Brady campaign has been searching since Election Day for
possible uncounted votes to close the more than 19,000-vote lead
Quinn held.
Election results have made it clear that Quinn won his bid for a
first full term after replacing ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich nearly
two years ago.

TextMate 2.0 will likely be Leopard-only
Rather than paraphrase him, I'll paste what he's already said quite well:
First of all, 2.0 is a free upgrade, so I won't miss out on any upgrade fees from people that want to stay on Panther or Tiger.
Secondly, roughly 90% of my users are early adopters and have in all likelihood upgraded to Leopard within a few months of its release, so by keeping compatibility with older operating systems I am catering to less than 10% of my users.
Thirdly, it has a significant cost to stay backwards compatible, this price is paid in the form of:
- Time spent debugging (and sometimes making workarounds for) issues only present on the older OS version.
- Time spent implementing stuff that Apple offers for free on the new version of the OS.
- Not being able to make use of features only present on latest version of the OS when it's too impractical to conditionally make use of them.
- Code complexity, because it needs to do different things on different versions of the OS.
Is eliminating those costs worth a 10% drop in sales? You bet they are! The reason why I have kept Panther compatibility for this long has nothing to do with additional sales and all to do with me just not liking to cut people off.
I think Allan defends his decision quite well. Much better than Adobe does, in regard to Soundbooth's lack of PowerPC support. There's more to Allan's statement, but you should hop over to his blog to read the rest of it and let him know your thoughts on the issue.
To balance any potential backlash, Macromates will surely win a few hearts and minds by the free TextMate 2.0 upgrade. Any other TextMate users out there have an opinion on this?

This is my 2nd Pet Gear Stroller. The first one I purchase 10 years ago and is still in perfect condition. Recently adopted another dog so I needed a larger stroller to accommodate the two of them. This stroller is perfect for the two of them...very roomy and stable. Easy to assemble and folds up quickly with a press of a button. I highly recommend this stroller to anyone who is looking for a quality stroller for their pet.
Nice stroller - the larger wheels with rubber tires roll extremely smoothly and make for a much nicer ride for my 5-lb chihuahua who has a grade 5 heart murmur so reducing the bumpiness and stress of the ride is a must. I am disappointed that it does not collapse all the way, which makes it very bulky to transport in the car, but if you know this going in, you can be prepared. I like that the cover zips all the way around because it keeps mosquitoes and other various insects away from the dog while walking. The bed/pad inside is big enough for the dog to lay on comfortably while strolling and even with the compartment zipped all the way, there are many screened areas for both ventilation and a feeling of security for those dogs who like to keep their eyes on their owners at all times. There is nothing to stop the pin to allow 360-degree rotation of the front tire from locking into the slot, so watch for turning because it is liable to drop into the locking slot when you are least expecting it. To prevent this, I just leave it in the locked position and have no trouble at all. Overall, this is a great purchase and I know my little buddy is loving going on walks with me in comfort. If you have a disabled pet, this is a wonderful option to allow them to continue to enjoy life outside and with you.
I was a bit suspect when I received the box from UPS. The box was totally mangled and taped together, so I was expecting a nightmare scenario of returning an item. BUT... inside the taped together and mangled box... the stroller parts were complete. Simple to put together and upon completion and a test walk with my dog... I am very happy with the product and will recommend it to anyone.

Workers Win Battle Over Employer Crackdowns on Social Media
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Two labor unions representing workers at supermarket chains are reporting success in efforts to protect their members from employers who want to impose restrictive rules on the use of social media outside the workplace.
Leaders of the United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) union and the Teamsters have successfully backed down a large multinational conglomerate that attempted to impose such restrictions on more than 100,000 workers across the New England and Mid-Atlantic regions, union officials said. Complaints to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) have resulted in the New York-based unit of the company withdrawing the disputed policy, and a settlement of similar complaints is imminent in the Baltimore area, they said.
The fight erupted late last year when supermarket chains owned by the Dutch retailing conglomerate Royal Ahold began demanding that employees sign a "Social Policy Guidelines" document that warned of dire consequences if workers used social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter to communicate too freely about their jobs. The grocery chains—Stop & Shop in New England/New York, Giant Food in the Mid-Atlantic, Martin's Food Markets in Virginia, and a separate home delivery service called Peapod—threatened disciplinary action, including possible dismissal, if employees refused to sign the document or violated any of the guidelines.
For Jeff Armstrong, a five-year employee at the Giant store in Rehoboth Beach, Del., the threat of dismissal for refusing to sign was startling. "I couldn't believe it. They called us in and made us sit down in front of a terminal. They said 'Read this, then sign it.' They told us you had to sign right then and there, and that if you didn't sign, you could be fired," Armstrong said. Feeling pressured, he reluctantly signed.
But Armstrong grew angry as he discussed the humiliating incident with co-workers and reconsidered it in his own mind. A UFCW member, he talked to his shop steward and other union representatives. Impatient for action and determined to assert his own rights, he ultimately took a courageous step and personally filed a complaint against Giant with the NLRB regional office in Baltimore.
He didn't know it at the time, but complaints were already starting to pile up at NLRB offices. Ritchie Brooks, president of Teamsters Local 730 in Washington, D.C., was hearing stories similar to Armstrong's from his members at a Giant warehouse in the Maryland suburbs.
"I told the guys not to sign anything. They (Giant) can't pull this shit. It was retaliation, plain and simple. They did it (imposed the social media policy) because in 2010-2011 we fought them on the contract," Brooks said, referring to heated contract talks in which Giant has sought to cut Teamster jobs in the area.
Brooks quickly filed an NLRB complaint and was joined by two other Teamster locals in the region that also have contracts with Giant. Filing a separate complaint was UFCW Local 400, which represents thousands of Giant employees in Maryland and Virginia. Significantly, Local 400 is also involved in nascent efforts to organize workers in the Martin's Food Markets chain, which is one of several non-union operations under the Ahold umbrella.
Meanwhile, the same issues were coming to a head in the New York area. Tony Speelman, secretary-treasurer of UFCW Local 1500, represents about 5,500 Stop & Shop employees in New York City and its suburbs. He says he received dozens of reports from members when Stop & Shop sought to impose the social media guidelines in a way virtually identical to Giant. In March Local 1500 filed an NLRB complaint, charging that the guidelines were a violation of federal labor law and of the civil rights of workers, he said.

In response to its charge, the committee has developed a framework to identify appropriate scientific questions and methods for determining unintended changes in the levels of nutrients, toxins, toxicants, allergens, or other compounds in foods from GMOs, in order to assess potential short- and long-term human health consequences of such changes. Although the array of analytical and epidemiological techniques available has increased, there remain sizeable gaps in our ability to identify compositional changes that result from genetic modification of organisms intended for food; to determine the biological relevance of such changes to human health; and to devise appropriate scientific methods to predict and assess unintended adverse effects on human health. The committee has identified and recommended pre- and postmarket approaches to guide assessment of unintended compositional changes that could result from genetic modification of foods and research avenues to fill the knowledge gaps.
The recommendations presented in this report reflect the committee's application of its framework to questions of identification and assessment of unintended adverse health effects from foods produced by all forms of genetic modification, including genetic engineering, and they can serve as a guide for evaluation of future technologies.

SapientNitro Names Advertising Veteran Marcelo Sant'Iago Vice President, Business Development For Latin America
SapientNitro, part of Sapient (NASDAQ: SAPE), today announced it has named Marcelo Sant'Iago as vice president, business development for Latin America. The appointment follows SapientNitro's extension into Latin America earlier this year with the acquisition of celebrated, Brazil-based digital agency, iThink. Sant'Iago will report to SapientNitro's chief operating officer, Preston Bradford, and is charged with leading the agency's growth across the region.
"Marcelo's deep industry expertise and extensive knowledge of Latin America will be an invaluable addition as we continue our growth in this highly strategic and rapidly evolving market," said Alan J. Herrick, president and CEO, Sapient. "His track record of helping global brands tap into the opportunities in the region will enable us to continue to meet growing client demand for innovative experiences around brand, digital and commerce that can be leveraged across strategic markets in every part of the world."
Sant'Iago brings more than two decades of experience creating growth opportunities for top-tier brands in Latin America. Prior to joining SapientNitro, Sant'Iago served as managing partner at MBreak Comunicação, a business consultancy in Sao Paulo that advised companies looking to expand in the Brazilian marketplace. Before that, he served as head of business development at RealMedia, where he spearheaded partnerships with Google, Pubmatic and Rightmedia. Sant'Iago also served as general manager of MídiaClick, the first performance-based marketing agency in Brazil. He worked closely with the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) in the USA to create the Brazilian chapter, where he served as president for two terms. In addition, Sant'Iago has held senior executive positions at JWT and iProspect Brazil.
"SapientNitro is fundamentally redefining what it means to be an agency. Its unique integration of creative, brand and technology expertise, delivered under one global P&L, creates game-changing success for clients looking to transform the way their brands engage consumers," said Sant'Iago. "In Latin America, we have digital in our veins. The consumer has been ready for a new engagement model for a while now – one that creates multi-dimensional experience spaces - and SapientNitro is equipped to help brands deliver it."

The desert tasted great and was a nice presentation. The desert was a little soft and would have benefited by cooking the rice mixture a little longer.
I followed this recipe to a T! It was a little on the sweet side but the worst part was that is was a solid as a brick. I had my suspicions about the gelatin and if I had the chance to do it all over again, I would omit that ingredient.
This is a very good recipe. I suggest soaking the rice longer at first. The rice pudding texture was very creamy but the rice needed to be more tender.

Capital Region home sales rise 4.4% in Nov., on pace to eclipse 2013 totals by year's end
Boosted by a 4.4% increase in closed sales during November compared to the like month last year, Capital Region home sales are on pace to surpass 2013 totals by the end of the year.
With one month of sales left to report, the eight-parish region has tallied 8,203 closed deals so far this year, according to the latest monthly report from the Greater Baton Rouge Association of Realtors. That's 2.8% better than year-to-date sales of 7,982 through November last year, and it's just 483 fewer sales than the 8,690 total recorded for all of 2013. As long as the eight-parish region doesn't see a significant decline in sales this month compared to sales last December, when there were 553 recorded transactions, the 2014 total should eclipse the 2013 total. The 630 pending sales recorded in November suggests a decline in sales this month isn't likely. 2013 total home sales were 11% higher than total sales in 2012 of 7,819 homes.
Along with the increase in the number of sales last month, the average sales price also rose; it was up 5% last month to $207,490 from an average sales price of $197,522 a year earlier. And the average number of days a home sat on the market was down 8.2% to 78 days last month from 85 days during November 2013. There were 3,865 homes on the market last month, a decline of 12.7% from last November, when 4,425 homes were listed for sale.

W*F since when did IPKKND tapkaofy in this convo... IPKKND fans, stop trying to bring in the show for every single article on IF & IPKKND bashers, seriously get over with the hate already... Theres no reason any show should be bashed...
seriously dont know what is the connection of other shows with this article
I dont know who started including other shows
Seriously if u are a fan of this hsow then u can comment
Who asked you to comment that this show is going off air as it cannot stand with IPKKND
i feel like that is the main reason for the problems
And saw a few bashers bashing all shows
@bashers , Babes get a class !!!!!!If u are not a fan then dont comment
@others , Why do u all need to argue that ur show is the best ?????
And talking about TRPs , TRP is not everything
I dont watch any serial but yeah why do people consider TRPs alwaayz
If they consider TRPs then many shows could not have been on air till now
Only a few serials maintain good TRPs , there are several soaps which could not have a good TRP without the lead actor
Such shows are nothing without the lead actor / actress . Didnt they continue despite of their low TRPs ??
If the soap has a good storyline then they must surely proceed
P.S : No offence
Edited on:22 July 2012 at 11:57pm
Dunno why good shows always become a victim of TRPs.. My fav shows ended up like this.. and now BBB too :(

That's a budget? A joke from the U.S. Senate
Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray, D-Wash., finally introduced a budget last week. The Hill, a Capitol Hill newspaper, offered some good coverage. "The first budget from Senate Democrats in four years includes nearly $1 trillion in new taxes but would not balance the budget," the paper reported.
Real Clear Politics reported that "(Rep. Paul) Ryan plans to erase the deficit in a decade through structural changes to Medicare and cuts to Medicaid spending, while Murray plans to tame - though not balance - it over the same time span through a combination of tax increases and spending reductions."
The Washington Post's editorial page wrote of the Senate budget: "Partisan in tone and complacent in substance, it scores points against the Republicans and reassures the party's liberal base - but deepens these senators' commitment to an unsustainable policy agenda."
The Post went on: "In short, this document gives voters no reason to believe that Democrats have a viable plan for - or even a responsible public assessment of - the country's long-term fiscal predicament."
After illegally refusing to produce a budget for four years, Senate Democrats finally offer one and it is an unbalanced joke. But look, Republicans are trying to reach out to young voters, LOL, OMG!!

Hi, thank you for your diatomaceous earth information. I wondered if after the post you noticed further health benefits. I am thinking of starting DE as you have and am a bit frightened of it.
Thank you,

11/20/2014[YEA] 3rd day on DE and so excited! 1st day had headaches, stomach made odd noises....yesterday felt a bit under the weather, light headache, and hot flashes....today I involuntarily woke up with immense energy a whole hour and a half early! And my face and skin looks oddly youthful. I have not gone to the bathroom but nervous what I might find when I do. :P I'm doing this because I believe I have parasites. Been suffering with leaky gut, ADD, and immune problems. Already feel the difference! Thank you!Posted by Dede (London, Ont., Canada) on 09/02/2011
[YEA] In response to the Detox with DE, I can personally say that after 2 weeks on DE I feel great, it has detoxed me and is working on my energy level as well as some other ailments I suffer with. I found the first few days I was going to the bathroom more frequently.... But that only lasted a short time.... this product is amazing, I use it everywhere, for insects, in my garden, and around my home....Posted by Annie Mae (East Coast, New England) on 08/21/2011
Hello. I use a tablespoon of DE in simple water, not juice... Just pure liquid to get it down. The next day I felt only mildly different, not negatively. But looking in the mirror I said ok, no makeup today. My eyes were stunningly 'nice', I usually put a touch of liner, and usually darken my brows. Small touches. So I left it at just using moisturizer, and went out. A woman and I were chatting and eventually she said "you're so beautiful'. I tell you this because I had not heard this in decades, and it was day 1, following use of DE. The down side for me is that on the 2nd, 3rd day I am a bit constipated....Replied by Vreed27

We use Food Grade diatomaceous Earth for a myriad problems. It kills all worms including hook and tapeworm. One teaspoon in food for cats and small dog ( under 25lb) add more according to weight.
Dusting the dog..it kills fleas and ticks and all other insects even termites. Must be kept dry to kill the insects. Add to feed , such as horse feed, keeps all weevils away.
Spread in yard...no more flies. Take it yourself in a glass of water.

I read a post on here about someone saying do NOT use DE internally if you have Silver Fillings. I cannot seem to find any info on the internet and I am on my 2nd day of taking DE. Does anyone who has silver (amalgam) fillings use this? Or does anyone have any links or info to share about if this is safe or not? Thank you for your help. I am trying to use this to make myself better and do not want to hurt myself in the process. Thanks again!!

[SIDE EFFECTS] I am on my 9th day of taking Food Grade DE. I worked up from 1 tsp daily to now, 1 Tbs daily. At first I was constipated but now that, that has passed, I am running to the bathroom all day (since last night) and my stomach is making some VERY loud noises, which is not normal for me. I am just wondering if this could be caused from the 'die off' somehow. I have slowed down going to the bathroom tonight but the noises that my stomach is making are constant. Is this normal? It's not scary or anything just weird. Thanks for any help!!Posted by Granny (Ruidoso, New Mexico) on 01/06/2013
Does Diatomaceous Earth kill beneficial bacteria, OR NOT? If not, WHY NOT? If so, what can be done about it? I would think taking probiotics with it would be a waste of money if it kills them, too.Posted by Cat (Tauranga, New Zealand) on 09/30/2012
[SIDE EFFECTS] Has anyone else noticed their bowel motions change to the point of not wanting to go for a few days at a time upon first taking DE? Along with this no bowel motion comes of course, a bloated stomach which is very uncomfortable. I still eat good food and naturally drink lots of water because of the DE but does this stuff clog up your system as well as benefit you in other ways? I'm sure it'll come right but how do I kick start myself again? Anyway, I have noticed my notoriously weak fingernails take off in the last few days but then again, we're into spring now and heading for summer so it may just be the winter respite is over and like all things, they are blooming again! *Food grade DE of course*Replied by Wayseeker
Modesto, Ca/ USA
09/30/2012I'm going to assume the DE is for "cutting up" the Morgellons beastie things, that that's why you're using it. And for that, it does seem to have some effect. I used it for quite a long time, and the magnetic charge of it does seem to help also. However, the only way it didn't seem to cause me problems was on a small bowl of cereal and milk, stirred in, or in a cup of hot herb tea, where it just looks like creamer! I have guinea pigged myself alot however, in search of relief from many health disasters, and have come out the other side from many, many things. Don't go overboard with DE. One small tablespoon in tea 1x per day is more than plenty. Dr. Hulda Clark says not to use it at all. Hope that helps. --T.

Approval Ratings BETTER BUT NOT CURED (1) 100% Posted by Six (Phoenix, Arizona) on 04/20/2010
[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] Thank you so much for this website! After searching the web for a cure to my decades-long battle with self-diagnosed eczema, I have found that diatomaceous earth has shown great promise! For years I've suffered from diagnosed dertmitis nervosa. My skin would errupt in red spots that would itch almost nonstop, bleed, scab over, spread a bit and continue this pattern. The cycle would usually end with another trip to yet another dermatologist for stronger and stronger steroid medications (usually topical creams, but too often oral meds also).
Eventually the rash would turn from red to brown and begin to dry up leaving a very dark brown large area of discoloration. This would take months to clear up with the help of retin-a creams.
After searthing Earth Clinic's site for more natural cures, I found several entries noting 100% pure diatomaceousearth to cure fungal infections. I had about 2.5 pound of this stuff on hand and decided to try it. Well, the reviews suggested ingesting it. I'd done that in the past when dealing with other issues. This time I was trying Borax and baking soda as suggested by Ted and didn't want to mix it up too much. So, I tried applying the earth topically, straight from the bag. It's a fine powder just like talc. It immediately soothed the itch, and after a few hours the redness had decres by 50%. The eczema rash on my face has dissappeared!! My facial acne is history. The eczema is still on my neck but it is undercontrol and when I am diligent and apply it several times daily, it will go away. The dark blotches remain, and this is where I got into trouble last week, I began applying the retin-a much too soon and irritated my skin and the redness itch and rash returned. I'm back on the mend using the earth and will wait about one month after healed again before using the retin-a.
I hope this helps.

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] I have fibromyalgia and have been taking Diatomaceouls Earth for almost 2 weeks. It is definitly doing something positive for me. First I noticed a huge change in my foot problem that has plagued me for 4 years. I have woke up stiff, but that is different too. I don't know how to describe it except that the stiffness is not to the bone and all encompasing as before. I am so hopeful that I may continue to improve. If it is possible different factors contribute to Fibro for different people, I guess different results could be experienced from individuals also. My experience would lead me to suggest, try it and see how your body responds if you suffer any joint or fibro pain. Good luck to you all!Replied by Karen
Toronto, On
11/16/2013My feeling is that people with REAL fybromyalgia (70% of "sufferers" are misdiagnosed) THAT'S A LOT!! If they take it long enough WILL see the results! You need to take at least 4 tablespoons a day for 6 or more months to see what your hoping for...(little to NO pain) Healing takes time. I have had fybromyalgia (tested 18/18 for trigger points) for almost 20 years! In horrible pain and terrible chronic fatigue with many food allergies that went with it - like the nightshades and sugar. I began the DE 1/2 year ago. Started at 2tbs a day and upped it a few weeks later to 4-8 tbs a day. I now have such little pain anywhere in my body that I have to concentrate to see if I can feel anything! AND along with that the food allergies dissappeared as well as the chronic fatigue. I can even eat nightshade vegetables...and anyone with real fybro knows how painful the sligtest amount of one of those are.
If you've been told you have fibro but your doctor has not done the 18 point pressure test....then he doesn't know what he's talking about. You could very well be suffereing from something else and not getting the proper treatment. People ALL the time are being told they have fybro when the doctor just can't figure out why they have pain. A pain in your hip is not fybro, you have to have at least 11 different spots to have mild fybro. The reason I mention this is b/c people try to cure themselves of fybro who don't really have it - then tell others it doesn't work! IT DOES WORK. Drink it only with water on empty tummy - do it right and be patient. It CAN work for you too! =DReplied by Prioris
11/17/2013The 18 point test for fms is very very subjective. The doctor presses some point and then asks how the patient how they feel. how does the patient objectively judge the pain. of the patient does answer, how does the doctor judge the answer. different doctors may pressure the points with different amount of pressure also. if one answers only to 9 points, does that mean it is less painful than 18 points. this test needs to be retired into the dust bin at some point.
fms is a very murky disease with not any symptom that really stands out. there is a spectrum of severity where many fms people can easily be diagnosed with lyme or cfs or gws or ms or lupus ot other things. they have most of the unknown muscular skeleton problems under this label. even lyme tests can a murky area.
what is it about fms that really stands it apart from other chronic diseases in terms of symptoms. I would be really hard put to point out a truly distinquishing symptom. like many chronic diseases, it is in a syndrome category.
the whole area is a mess. trying to untangle this entire area can be difficult. this makes research on it very difficult since fms may end up being multiple diseases. this may even invalidate many studies on fms especially prevalence.
they have made an effort to water down the diagnosis procedure for cfs to mix non cfs people with cfs people so studies can be subverted to whatever they like.
i'd get the ciguatoxin test to rule out me/cfids/cfs because it is objective.
your right, many people are walking around with wrong diagnosis.Replied by Prioris
11/18/2013... "Estimates are that 60% to 70% of us with FMS have symptoms very similar to costochondritis. No one is exactly sure whether it is true costochondritis or why it occurs with FMS, especially since FMS doesn't cause inflammation."
Notice the contradiction in FMS definition says FMS does not cause inflammation while costochondritis which most people with fms is ignored. Costochodritis inflammation was the most painful part of the fms condition. The sleep disorder is caused by the physical pain.
Tiredness or difficulty exercising is not distinguishing. Stiff muscles - what does that mean. People can get stiff muscles by just being inactive.
They have fms - "classified as mild cognitive disorders". many fms labeled people would not agree with the word "mild".
One person talking about fms may be world's apart from someone else who has fms. I think the fms label needs to be broken down further. I think infections (inflammation) vs non-infection groups may need to be separated especially symptom wise along with cognitive aspect.Posted by Pamela (Houston, Texas) on 11/22/2008
[NAY] I have suffered with fibromyalgia for years. And I have takens lots of Diatomaceous Earth. The DE works great for parasites but does nothing to relieve or get rid of fibromyalgia. I also know several others with fibromyalgia who used DE with no relieve. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and keep up the good the good work.Posted by Cindy (Kansas, USA) on 11/21/2008
Fluoride remedy? I'm wondering if anyone has tried diatomaceous earth for fibromyalgia? I stumbled upon some references to its ability to capture and bind fluoride and its use as a water filter. I consume food grade DE occassionally but I don't suffer from fibromyalgia. I'm not suggesting it but I'd like to know if anyone has tried it for this particular problem.

05/01/2014Why do you believe it has to be started slowly and how much would that mean?Replied by Autumn
Louisville, Ky
06/13/2014Re: Mary from Saskatchewan: Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (DE) should be started slowly at about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon daily and work your way up to 1-2 tablespoons daily. Sometimes when you start out with the higher amounts too quick, it will cause a lot of 'die off' for any parasites you may have in your body which makes you feel sick with flu like symptoms. So most people start off with less and work up to the full dose daily. It's better to start slow, so that you know how your body will react to the 'die off'. I am on my 9th day and am just now up to 1 Tbs daily now. I hope this helps some.Posted by Ann (Brevard, , N.c., U.s.) on 03/03/2013

Am puzzled, as I have read that moisture renders it ineffective but if used in soil, etc. outside, doesn't it naturally absorb moisure from earth, morning dew, air humidity? Please send me all you can on this product. Thanks tons!!!Replied by Mary
11/03/2014I asked this very same thing, the water doesn't render diatomaceous earth ineffective, it simply washes it away. It will no longer work for your nasty bugs but it will be good for the soil at that point.

The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights ("USERRA"), 38 U.S.C. §4301 et seq., sets forth the rights and obligations of employees and employers with respect to military service leave. The Department of Defense has also promulgated regulations interpreting and implementing the statutory obligations of the parties. See 32 C.F.R. §104 et seq. The Federal Office of Personnel Management has issued a separate body of regulations governing the USERRA rights and obligations of federal employees. See 5 C.F.R. Part 353 et seq.
USERRA was enacted in 1994 as an amendment to the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act. The Veterans Benefits Improvement Act, amended in 1996, 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2004, provides job protection for veterans returning to their jobs without any loss of seniority, status or pay. The Act prohibits employers from denying veterans initial employment, reemployment, retention in employment, promotion, or any other benefit of employment because of their former military service. This article summarizes the elements of a USERRA claim and explains how employers can avoid violating the Act.
1. Notice of Military Leave
The term "employer" under USERRA means any person, institution, organization, or other entity that pays salary or wages for work performed or that has control over employment opportunities, and includes a person or entity to which the employer has delegated the performance of employment-related responsibilities. Thus, there can be individual liability for violations of the Act. USERRA applies to all employers, regardless of size or number of employees. Unlike many other federal laws, there is no exception or exemption for smaller employers.
USERRA requires that employees provide their employers with notice of pending military duty. The Act recommends that employees provide written notice and give employers at least 30 days notice prior to leaving. The Act waives the notice requirement if there is a military necessity, or if it is otherwise unreasonable or impossible for the employee to provide notice under the circumstances.
2. Returning to Work
When the employee returns to work, USERRA's provisions place certain time limits on the returning employee's return dates, depending upon the length of the employee's military absence. For instance, if the employee serves from one to 30 days, he must report to work at the beginning of the next regularly scheduled work period on the first full day following the completion of service. When an employee is absent from work for 31 to 180 days for military service, the employee must submit an application for employment within 14 days after the completion of their service. Again, an exception exists where it is impossible or unreasonable, through no fault of the employee, to apply within 14 days.
For military service of more than 180 days, the employee must file an application for reemployment within 90 days after completing her service. If an employee is hospitalized for or convalescing from, an injury or illness either incurred or aggravated during his military service, he is not required to follow the re-application procedures until he has recovered from this illness or injury. The law does place a time limit on re-application in this circumstance of two years, although it allows extensions to accommodate circumstances beyond the employee's control.
a. Maximum Limit
USERRA military leave has maximum limits. An employee may not exceed a cumulative total of five years of military leave. There are exceptions to this limit. For example, USERRA grants an extension to an employee's service that is required beyond five years to complete her initial period of obligated service, such as an enlistee in the Navy's nuclear power program whose initial period of active duty is six years. USERRA also recognizes an exception when an employee's military service is pursuant to an order to remain on active duty due to war or national emergency declared by the President or Congress.
b. Disqualifying Service
There are four categories of circumstances where an employee's separation from the military will cause the employee to lose USERRA protection: (1) dishonorable or bad conduct discharge; (2) separation from service under "other than honorable" conditions, as defined by each military branch; (3) dismissal of commissioned officer in situations involving a court martial or by order of the President in time of war; and (4) being dropped as a service member for absence without authority for more than three months or imprisonment by a civilian court.
c. Reemploying the Returning Service Member
Except for those situations in which a service member has a disability incurred during or aggravated by military service, the method for reinstating an employee is based upon length of service. Employees who are absent from one to 90 days must be promptly reinstated in the following order of priority:
Employees who have been absent for more than 90 days must be promptly reinstated in the following order of priority:
The main difference between these two sets of options is that with employees who are absent for more than 90 days, the employer may offer a position of equal seniority, status and pay to employees falling into either option 1 or 2. Additionally, the reemployment position with the highest priority in both schemes reflects the "escalator" principle, which requires that each returning service member step back onto the seniority "escalator" at the point the employee would have occupied had he remained continuously employed.
A different set of rules apply for employees who incur or aggravate an injury or illness during their military service. Employers must follow a three-part reemployment plan for these employees. Employers must make reasonable efforts to accommodate these employees' disabilities so that they can perform the job they would have held had they remained continuously employed. If, however, despite efforts, the employees are not qualified to do the jobs due to their disabilities, the employees must then be given positions of equal seniority, status and pay, so long as the employees are qualified for the jobs or could become qualified after reasonable efforts by the employers. If the employees do not become qualified under either of these options, then they must be employed in positions that, consistent with the circumstances of their situations, most nearly approximate the jobs in option 2 in terms of seniority, status and pay. Again, the provisions of USERRA seek to return the returning employees to their former positions with the least impact upon their employment.
If two or more returning employees are entitled to reemployment in the same position, the employee who left the position first has the superior right to it. The other employee is entitled to employment with full seniority in any other position that provides similar status and pay in the order of priority under the reemployment plan, which is otherwise applicable to that person.
d. Changed Circumstances and Undue Hardship
USERRA recognizes the employment situations may change substantially. Where an employer's circumstances change so much that reemployment of the employee is impossible or unreasonable, such as in a reduction in force that would have included the service member had he been at his job, the employer has no obligation to reemploy the employee. Employers are excused from making efforts to return a qualified service member or from accommodating those with service-related disabilities when doing so would cause undue hardship. In both of these situations, courts are to liberally construed USERRA in favor of returning service members. Therefore, employers need to be careful in invoking these provisions.
e. Pensions and Benefits
USERRA's provisions regarding returning employees' benefits require that the employer place the returning service member in the place he would have been had he remained continuously employed. Thus, service members who return to employment are entitled to the seniority with the employer which they would have retained with reasonable certainty had they remained continuously employed. USERRA specifies that returning service members are also entitled to all "rights and benefits based on seniority," meaning that they receive benefits based on length of service with the employer. The Act further provides that because employees on military leave are considered to be on a leave of absence with the employer, they must be granted all the rights and benefits not based on seniority that are available to employees who take non-military leaves of absence, whether paid or unpaid. If there is a variation among types of non-military leaves of absence, the service member must be granted the most favorable treatment under the leave policies. Thus, for example, if an employer's leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act ("FMLA") specifies that employees will continue to accrue vacation and sick leave during their FMLA leave, the employer must grant its service members this benefit.
The Department of Labor has issued a Memorandum setting forth its position on the accrual of FMLA leave while an employee is under USERRA coverage. The Department of Labor takes the position that employees who serve in the military after September 11, 2001 should have their active duty counted toward their eligibility for FMLA leave. That is, the months and hours an employee would have worked but for the military service should be combined with months and hours actually worked to meet the 12 months and 1250 hours of employment necessary to qualify for FMLA leave.
Under USERRA, an employer may require the employee to pay the cost of any funded benefit to the extent that other employees on other leaves of absence would be required to pay such a benefit. With respect to pension plans which are tied to seniority, USERRA requires that a reemployed service member be treated as not having incurred any break in service with the employer, that military service be considered work for purposes of vesting and benefit accrual, that the employer be liable for funding any resulting obligation and that the reemployed person be entitled to any accrual of benefits from employee contributions only to the extent that he repays the employee contributions. The employee has five times his military leave to make the contributions. Again, this provision is further evidence that USERRA seeks to treat returning employees as if they never left their employment. With respect to vacation time accrued before the beginning of their military service, USERRA provides that employers permit service members to use their vacation time, rather than take their military leave without pay. While employers may do this at employees' request, employers cannot force service members to use their vacation time for military service.
For health benefits, USERRA provides for continuous health benefit coverage for employees on military leave, even if their employers are not covered by COBRA. If an employee's health plan coverage would end due to military leave, the employee may continue to receive coverage for either: a) up to 24 months after the employee's absence begins or b) for the employee's period of service plus time to apply for reemployment, whichever period is shorter. This period was increased from 18 months to 24 months by the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act. The employee cannot be required to pay more than 102% of the full premium for coverage, and if the military service is 30 or fewer days, the employee cannot be required to pay more than the normal employee share of any premium.
f. Prohibition of Discrimination
USERRA's provisions regarding discrimination impose a "just cause" requirement on the employer under certain circumstances. Under USERRA, a reemployed service member may not be discharged without cause for one year after the date of reemployment if the employee's military service was for more than six months. If the military service was for 31-180 days, the employee may not be discharged for six months after the date of reemployment. Employers are not required to apply a just cause standard to employees who use 30 or fewer days of military leave.
USERRA prohibits discrimination against returning service members because of their military service or obligation. Discrimination because of past, current or future military obligations is specifically prohibited, and covers the areas of hiring, promotion, reemployment, termination and benefits. This prohibition extends to past service members, current service members, and any employees who apply to be a member of any branch of the uniform services. USERRA prohibits employers from retaliating against any person who files a complaint, participates in an investigation or proceeding under USERRA or who exercises any right under USERRA, whether or not the person has performed military service.
3. Remedies and Procedural Considerations
Congress has specifically provided for the remedies available to an aggrieved military service person that files suit under USERRA. The Act specifically authorizes reinstatement with like status, back pay, court costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, and other litigation expenses. In addition, the court may use its full equity powers to vindicate fully the rights of benefits of a person under USERRA. Furthermore, an employer may be liable for liquidated damages, in an amount equal to the back pay and lost benefits awarded to the employee, if the court determines that the employer's failure to comply with the provisions of this chapter was willful. Accordingly, an employer is liable for liquidated damages if the employer either knew or showed reckless disregard for the matter of whether its conduct was prohibited under USERRA; or, when he wholly disregards the law without making any reasonable effort to determine whether the plan he is following would constitute a violation of the law.
The aggrieved employee may initiate a complaint against the employer in one of two ways: (1) the employee may choose to file a complaint with the Secretary of Labor for investigation; or (2) the employee may file suit against the employer in the appropriate federal or state court. U.S. District Courts have jurisdiction over claims brought against private employers by the United States or by a person.
For claims against a State as an employer, Congress expressly granted jurisdiction to the applicable State court. An individual claimant cannot proceed in federal court against a State as an employer because the Eleventh Amendment to the United States Constitution would bar such a suit.
USERRA preempts all state laws, agreements, contracts, policies, plans, practices and other matters that attempt to limit the protections provided to military personnel. However, states may choose to provide military personnel with greater employment and reemployment rights. Therefore, many states have enacted laws similar to USERRA, granting military service personnel the same or greater rights.
West Virginia law provides that members of the state's military forces, ordered to active duty by the governor, are entitled to the same reemployment rights as those provided under USERRA's provisions. In addition, West Virginia further provides that officers and employees of the state and its subdivisions who are on military leave are entitled to 30 days of leave "without loss of pay."
4. Notice of USERRA Rights
In addition to the aforementioned obligations placed on employers, § 4334 of the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 2004 requires employers to provide notice to employees explaining their USERRA rights. Employers must provide notice to all persons entitled to USERRA rights and benefits. Employers may meet their obligations by placing the notice where the employers customarily place notices for employees. Employers may find a copy of the required notice at the Department of Labor's website, at www.dol.gov.
5. 2006 Regulations
Section 4331 of USERRA authorizes the Secretary of Labor to prescribe regulations implementing USERRA. The Department of Labor, through the Veterans Employment and Training Service, has issued a set of regulations implementing USERRA as it applies to states, local governments, and private employers. See 20 C.F.R. § 1002. The proposed regulations became effective January 18, 2006 (a copy of the regulations can be found on the Department of Labor's website, www.dol.gov/vets).
The proposed regulations attempt to clarify certain rights and requirements under the statute. For example, courts have disagreed over the appropriate burden of proof in cases brought under the USERRA provision that establishes the reemployment rights of persons who serve in the uniform services. One court has held that a person who has sued under the reemployment provisions of the statute must meet the burden of proof established under the anti-discrimination and anti-retaliation provisions of the statute. Other courts have disagreed and held that the two provisions are separate and distinct. The regulations support the latter view—proposed Section 1002.33 provides that a person seeking relief under § 4312, the reemployment rights section, need not meet the additional burden of proof requirements for discrimination cases brought under Section 4311.
6. Cases Interpreting USERRA
There have been several cases from various federal courts interpreting the requirements of USERRA. A brief synopsis of each is set forth below.
The court ruled that the defendant failed to meet its burden of establishing that the plaintiff's termination within one year of his reemployment was for cause under USERRA § 4316. The defendant argued that plaintiff was terminated under the workforce management program, due to the company's commitment to reducing the operating budget of the plaintiff's department by $700,000. The court recognized that a termination for financial reasons may be "for cause," but the court ruled that the timing of the plaintiff's termination and the decision-making process that preceded the termination were not reasonable under the circumstances. Specifically, at the time of his termination, the workforce management program had not applied to any other employees in his department for the preceding three years. In addition, the plaintiff's diminished status upon his return to work placed him at a disadvantage, in part because he was not given a fair opportunity to resume his previous duties before he was evaluated and ranked against other employees.
