Maine State Employees Association, No. CV-82-185 (Me.Super.Ct., Ken.Cty., Oct. 30, 1984) STATE OF MAINE MAINE LABOR RELATIONS BOARD Case No. 82-01 Issued: April 5, 1982 ____________________________________ ) MAINE STATE EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION, ) ) Complainant, ) ) v. ) DECISION AND ORDER ) STATE OF MAINE, ) ) Respondent. ) ____________________________________) This is a prohibited practices case, filed pursuant to 26 M.R.S.A. 979-H(2) on July 2, 1981 by the Maine State Employees Association (MSEA). MSEA alleges in its complaint that the State of Maine (State) violated 26 M.R.S.A. 979-C(1)(A) and (E) by distributing a misleading and coercive flyer with the paychecks of state employees. The State filed a response on July 24, 1981, denying that any statement in the flyer violated any provision of the State Employees Labor Relations Act, 26 M.R.S.A. 979, et seq. (Act). A pre-hearing conference on the case was held on August 17, 1981, Alternate Chairman Donald W. Webber presiding. Alternate Chairman Webber issued on August 17th a Pre-Hearing Conference Memorandum and Order, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. A hearing on the case was held on August 28, 1981, Alternate Chairman Gary F. Thorne presiding, with Employer-Representative Don R. Ziegenbein and Alternate Employee Representative Harold S. Noddin. MSEA was represented by John J. Finn, Esq., and the State by Linda D. McGill, Esq. The parties were given full opportunity to examine and cross-examine witnesses, introduce evidence, and make argument. Both parties filed post-hearing briefs, which have been considered by the Board. JURISDICTION MSEA is the bargaining agent within the meaning of 26 M.R.S.A. 979-H(2) for five state employee bargaining units. The State is the public employer defined in -1- 26 M.R.S.A. 979-A(5). The jurisdiction of the Maine Labor Relations Board to hear this case and render a decision and order lies in 26 M.R.S.A. 979-H. FINDINGS OF FACT Upon review of the entire record, the Board finds: 1. In November, 1980, MSEA and the State entered into negotiations for collective bargaining agreements to succeed agreements due to expire on June 30, 1981. One of the items discussed by the parties was the State's proposal that it pay the bargaining unit employees' contributions to the Maine State Retirement System in lieu of a salary increase. Both the State and state employees make contributions to the retirement system. The State pro- posed that it would continue making its contributions, that it would pay the employees' contributions, and that each employee's take-home pay would be increased by the amount of the employee's contribution. Implementation of this proposal thus would mean that the employees' take-home pay would increase while their gross salary remained unchanged. 2. MSEA rejected the State's proposal, publicizing the reasons why it found the proposal unacceptable in the May and June editions of its newspaper and in leaflets which it handed out and mailed to employees. In May, 1981 MSEA requested pursuant to 26 M.R.S.A. 979-D(3) that a fact-finding panel be assigned to assist the parties in resolving their bargaining disputes. A fact-finding panel was assigned, and fact-finding hearings began in July, 1981. 3. Included with state employees' July 1, 1981 paychecks was a flyer captioned "Questions and Answers The 'Retirement' Issue." Underneath the caption is the name of Commissioner David W. Bustin, the Commissioner of the Department of Personnel and the Governor's representative in the negotiations for successor collective bargaining agreements. The flyer purports to explain the State's proposal to pick up the employees' contributions to the retirement system. Included in the flyer are copies of pay stubs showing the effect of the State's proposal on the paycheck of a hypothetical state employee. These pay stubs contain a mathematical error, in that state employees contribute 6.5% of their gross salary to the retirement system, which, for the gross salary of $527.20 shown on the pay stubs, would amount to a sum of $34.27 rather than the $37.36 shown on the pay stubs. Due to this error, the amount of take-home pay the hypothetical employee -2- would receive if the State's proposal was accepted is inflated by $3.09, indicating a take-home pay increase of 9.35% instead of the factual 8.57%. 4. An employee in the State Treasurer's Office spotted the mathematical error in the flyer but the error was not corrected in the flyers distributed on the July 1st pay cycle. Approximately two-thirds of the State's employees received paychecks and the flyer on July 1st. The remaining third of the employees were paid on July 8, 1981. Included with their paychecks was the same flyer distributed on July 1st except that the mathematical error was corrected in the July 8th flyers. 5. The State provided MSEA with a copy of the flyer prior to its distribution on July 1st. MSEA objected that distribution of the flyer would be a prohibited practice, but to no avail. On July 1st, MSEA members distributed leaflets at various State work sites in Augusta and at a few other job sites throughout the State, stating that Bustin's flyer was illegal and discussing the questions and answers contained in the flyer. DECISION The law is well settled that an employer may communicate directly with individual bargaining unit members during negotiations; while there are some "obvious restraints" on such communications, "no law even flirts with a blanket prohibition of such." Teachers Association of S.A.D. #49 v. Board of Directors of S.A.D. #49, MLRB No. 80-49 at 6 (Nov. 18, 1980). Among the "obvious restraints" is the principal that the employer's communications cannot contain a "threat of reprisal or force or promise of benefit" or other- wise interfere with employee rights guaranteed by Section 979-B of the Act; such communications are "without the protection of the First Amendment." NLRB v. Gissel Packing Co., 395 U.S. 575, 618, 89 S.Ct. 1918, 23 L.Ed.2d 547 (1969). Similarly, communications by which the employer seeks to bypass the bargaining agent and deal directly or indirectly with the employees constitute a viola- tion of the duty to bargain: "Good-faith bargaining . . . requires at a minimum recognition [by the employer] that the statutory representative is the one with whom it must deal in conducting bargaining negotiations, and that it can no longer bargain directly or indirectly with the employees. It is inconsistent with this obligation for an employer . . . to seek to persuade the employees to exert pressure on the representative to sub- mit to the will of the employer, and to create the impression that the employer rather than the union is the true protector of the employees' interests." -3- General Electric Co. , 150 NLRB 192, 194-195 (1964), enforced, 418 F.2d 736 (2nd Cir. 1969), cert. denied 397 U.S. 965 (1970). MSEA urges that certain statements in the flyer tended to interfere with the employees' Section 979-B rights and also violated the State's duty to bargain imposed by Section 979-D(1) of the Act. Viewing the flyer in the context in which it appeared, we conclude that the flyer violates Section 979-C(1)(A) but not Section 979-C(1)(E).[fn]1 We will order remedies necessary to effectuate the policies of the Act. We do not agree with MSEA's contentions that the flyer contains mis- leading statements and attempts to create the impression that the State rather than MSEA is the true protector of the employees' interests. It is true that some of the statements are incomplete in the sense that they present only the State's point of view. For example, the second question in the flyer states, "Am I really getting a pay increase under the State's proposal?" The answer is: "Yes. Your take-home pay would be increased by the same amount of your deduction for retirement contributions." This answer is incomplete insofar as it does not explain that an employee's gross salary would not increase under the State's proposal. This fact had already been widely publicized by MSEA, however, and we believe that many employees were well aware that the State's proposal would not increase their gross pay. In any event, the answer certainly is not so misleading as to interfere with the employees' free exercise of their Section 979-B rights. The same is true of all the remaining statements in the flyer. __________ 1. Section 979-C(1)(A) prohibits the State from interfering with, restraining or coercing employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed in Section 979-B. Section 979-B states: No one shall directly or indirectly interfere with, intimi- date, restrain, coerce or discriminate against state employees or a group of state employees in the free exercise of their rights, hereby given, voluntarily to join, form and participate in the activities of organizations of their own choosing for the purpose of representation and collective bargaining, or in the free exer- cise of any other right under this chapter. Section 979-C(1)(E) prohibits the State from refusing to bargain collec- tively with the bargaining agent of its employees as required by Section 979-D. Section 979-D sets forth the elements of the duty to bargain. -4- Neither do we believe that any of the statements constitute an attempt to persuade the employees to exert pressure on MSEA to accede to the State's pro- posal. While the first answer on the flyer, stating that the State's proposal "is the best way to provide employees with an adequate increase in take home pay," comes close to an unlawful attempt to influence the employees, we agree with the State that the statement is primarily informational. We do not see that this statement or any other statement in the flyer amounts to an attempt to convey the unlawful message to the employees that the State rather than MSEA is the true protector of their interests. We accordingly conclude that the State did not attempt in the flyer to bypass MSEA and that no violation of Section 979-C(1)(E) has occurred. We do agree, however, with MSEA's position that the flyer reasonably tended to interfere with and coerce employees in the exercise of their Section 979-B rights because it contained erroneous information. The flyer showed that the take-home pay of a hypothetical state employee would increase by a total of $37.36 per paycheck under the State's proposal, whereas the correct figure for the increase in take-home pay was $34.27. While the $3.09 differ- ence between the two figures is not large, the flyer created the impression that the State's proposal was slightly more beneficial to employees than was actually the case. The erroneous information also amounts to improper inter- ference because it makes it difficult for employees either to evaluate the State's proposal accurately or to compare it fairly with MSEA's proposals. We have long held that the making of false or erroneous statements to employees interferes with and coerces the employees in the free exercise of their protected rights. See, eg., Council 74, AFSCME v. Bangor Water District, MLRB No. 80-26 (Dec. 22, 1980). The coercive impact of the flyer was heightened by the context in which it appeared. The flyer was distributed to the "economically dependent" employees[fn]2 __________ 2. We must be mindful of our responsibility to: ". . . take into account the economic dependence of the employees on their employers, and the necessary tendency of the former, because of that relationship, to pick up intended implications of the latter that might be more readily dismissed by a more disinterested ear." NLRB v. Gissel Packing Co., 395 U.S. at 617. -5- along with their paychecks, a most direct and efficient way of gaining an em- ployee's attention and making a point. Particularly when an employer includes information with the employees' paychecks must it scrupulously avoid careless errors of fact such as the mathematical error contained in the flyer. The flyer containing the erroneous information was received by two-thirds of the employees on July 1, 1981, one day after expiration of their collective bargaining agreements, and just as the parties were beginning the fact-finding hearings. Erroneous information is certain to have its maximum effect when received by employees on the very day that they began working without con- tracts and at the beginning of a lengthy process for resolving the parties' differences. In short, we conclude that the erroneous information, considered in the context in which it appeared, reasonably tended to interfere with the employees' rights to bargain collectively, in violation of Section 979-C(1)(A). We will order pursuant to Section 979-H(5) that the State cease and desist from distributing erroneous information about negotiation proposals to state employees. We will also order the State to take the affirmative action of posting copies of the attached notice in all areas where notices to employees in the five bargaining units represented by MSEA customarily are posted. The notices are to be signed by Commissioner Bustin, whose name appeared on the flyer, and must be maintained by the State for a period of 60 consecutive days after being posted. This posting is necessary in order to remedy the effect of the erroneous information received by the employees. Ordering the State to distribute a corrected flyer to the employees who received the erroneous information would not be appropriate, we believe, because of the incomplete information in the flyer and because one of the questions nearly amounts to an improper attempt to undermine MSEA. Moreover, another distribution of the flyer with paychecks would only further confuse the situation and create the potential for more disputes. The remedies we order are necessary to effectuate the policies of the Act. ORDER On the basis of the foregoing findings of fact and discussion, and by virtue of and pursuant to the powers granted to the Maine Labor Relations Board by the provisions of 26 M.R.S.A. 979-H, it is ORDERED: -6- That the State of Maine, its representatives and agents: 1. Cease and desist from interfering with, restraining or coercing state employees in the exercise of rights guaranteed in Section 979-B by distributing erroneous information about negotiation proposals, 2. Take the following affirmative action which the Board finds is necessary to effectuate the policies of the Act: a) post copies of the attached "Notice." Copies of this Notice, after being signed and dated by Commissioner Bustin, shall be posted immediately by the State and shall be maintained by it for 60 consecutive days there- after in conspicuous places, including all places where notices to employees in the bargaining units represented by MSEA customarily are posted. Reasonable steps shall be taken by the State to ensure that these notices are not altered, defaced, or covered by any other material. b) Notify the Executive Director, in writing, within 20 days from the date of this order, of the steps that have been taken to comply with the order. Dated at Augusta, Maine this 5th day of April, 1982. MAINE LABOR RELATIONS BOARD /s/__________________________________ Gary F. Thorne Alternate Chairman /s/__________________________________ Don R. Ziegenbein Employer Representative /s/__________________________________ Harold S. Noddin Alternate Employee Representative The parties are advised of their right pursuant to 26 M.R.S.A. 979-H(7) to seek review of this decision by the Superior Court by filing a complaint in accordance with Rule 80B of the Rules of Civil Procedure within 15 days after receipt of this decision. -7- STATE OF MAINE MAINE LABOR RELATIONS BOARD Augusta, Maine 04333 NOTICE TO ALL EMPLOYEES PURSUANT TO a Decision and Order of the MAINE LABOR RELATIONS BOARD and in order to effectuate the policies of the STATE EMPLOYEES LABOR RELATIONS ACT we hereby notify all personnel that: (1) WE WILL NOT interfere with, restrain or coerce state employees in the exercise of rights guaranteed by Section 979-B of the Act by distributing erroneous information about negotiation proposals. The hypothetical pay stub in the flyer distributed with paychecks on July 1, 1981 overstates the increase in take-home pay which would result from the State's "retirement proposal" by $3.09. (2) WE WILL notify the Executive Director of the Maine Labor Relations Board, in writing, within 20 days of the date of this Decision and Order, of the steps we have taken to comply with the Decision and Order.

I need help identifying these tips and what they are used for. I've taken two pictures...one from above and one from the front.
You might have to zoom in to see the top of the third tip from the left. Thank you!
Sorry-no numbers on the tips. I should have included that information in my previous post. Honestly I would NOT have chosen these tips as they don't have information with them, but they were a gift.
Research PME tips.
It's just showing copy...let me see what it comes up with when I Google it.
Okay they do NOT appear to have a chart. So far I'm not coming up with anything except one of these tips looks SIMILAR to a PME tube but IS NOT made by PME. Maybe we can just look at the tips and see what they might be used for (again, there's a reason for the pictures...LOL)?
Don't you just HATE it when someone gives you a gift and they don't stick to known brands?
The second tip from the right is a ruffle tip.
Google image search PME ruffle Tubes
I have them and love them.
Not sure about the others.
Scroll down this page and look at the 2 posters of tips and numbers. Maybe they will help.
Scroll down this page and look at the 2 posters of tips and numbers. Maybe they will help.
Not really :( I can't see the sides of them very well and there's one that has a hooklike thing on the top and I don't see any like that either.
Why couldn't she just go with either Ateco or Wilton or PME and go from there? GRRR!!! And I don't want to hurt my mama's feelings but I'm tempted to give them to her and say SEND THEM BACK NOW!

Mosquito Coast
Mosquito Coastgeographical name \mis-ˈkē-(ˌ)tō\\lä-ˌmō-skē-ˈtē-ä\
Definition of MOSQUITO COAST
Variants of MOSQUITO COAST
Rhymes with MOSQUITO COAST
Mosquito Coast(Concise Encyclopedia)
Region along the coast of eastern Nicaragua and Honduras. It comprises a lowland about 40 mi (65 km) wide that skirts the Caribbean Sea for about 225 mi (360 km). It was visited by Christopher Columbus in 1502, but Europeans had little contact with the area until the rise of the buccaneers in the 17th century, after which England established a protectorate there. It is named for the Miskito Indians. Spain, Nicaragua, and the U.S. disputed England's protectorate until the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty (1850). In 1894 the region was incorporated into Nicaragua, but the northern part was granted to Honduras in 1960 by the International Court of Justice. The chief town is Bluefields, at the mouth of the Escondido River in Nicaragua.

Bills target prison credit program
HARTFORD (AP) — Connecticut legislators are being urged to repeal or revamp the program allowing Connecticut inmates to earn credit toward early release for good behavior.
The Judiciary Committee heard testimony Friday on several bills affecting the program, enacted in 2011, which allows inmates to earn up to a maximum of five days a month off their sentence for complying with certain programs, and for their accompanying good behavior.

Hello Craftseeker and welcome to the carnival!
I'll answer the easy question first: if an ally has "left town" (returned to the box), he is not available anymore, by any means! There's only one investigator that has an exception to this rule, the politician, but he's from an expansion. So, if Duke leaves town looking for greener pastures, you cannot gain him as an ally anymore. You can only gain one of the 11 allies that you randomly chose during setup and that hasn't been returned to the box yet.
Now, there's a lot of house rules on this, but this is how it should be played "by-the-book". Unimportant side-note: I play like this.
Further clarification: discarded allies return to the 11-ally deck, they are not returned to the box. So you can gain them again after they are discarded, just like discarded items returning to the bottom of their decks.
The other question is answered in the FAQ, page 8: Ignore all monsters and clue tokens at the new location. Monsters on the board are only dealt with during the Movement Phase. The investigator has a normal Arkham Encounters Phase at the new location, following either the "Gate" or "No Gate" instructions on pages 8-9 of the rulebook.
So, the investigator wouldn't have an encounter, he would enter the gate, but he wouldn't be delayed!

The holiday season has officially started (at least according to the displays at every major retail store), and we're already in the mood for festive attire. While this time of the year usually has us wanting anything with a splash of sparkle or glitter, this year we're opting for a more sophisticated trend straight from the runways of New York Fashion Week: jewel-encrusted accessories. Jewel-encrusted clutches, footwear and hair accessories give your outfit the perfect dose of sparkle in a more understated way. Choose one accessory or pile on multiples for a look that is surprisingly versatile. read more
When the holidays roll around, we instinctually reach for glittery holiday dresses, sequined skirts and glitzy jewelry. But this month, celebs are making a convincing case for wearing less-obvious fabrics, like jacquard and brocade, in preparation for the holiday party circuit. read more

And now, Banks is bringing her supermodel knowledge and "smizing" (Tyra speak for smiling with your eyes) beauty advice to the cosmetics world with her new makeup line, Tyra Beauty, available on HSN. read more

A quilted purse is a timeless accessory every woman should have, but the fall 2014 New York Fashion Week runway shows put a whole slew of other quilted accessories on our radar: quilted moto boots, sneakers, backpacks.... A quilted pattern and rich fabric instantly give any accessory a luxurious feel. Add a quilted accessory to a sporty weekend look for a dressed-up vibe or to a more formal look to keep things classic. Either way, you should invest in one of these quilted pieces. Here, eight pieces we'd add to our wardrobes right now. read more
Unless you happen to be a supermodel (or, like Kanye West, you don't mind looking cuckoo bananas), there are certain fashion trends that are practically impossible to wear. So when a wearable trend -- like the burgundy shade we saw all over the fall collections -- comes along, we're all over it. The fact that the rich bordeaux color is wardrobe- and makeup-friendly makes it even better. All of a sudden, the cold months ahead seem much more bearable. read more
Capes are topping our shopping lists this season -- and for good reason. Designers brought back this sophisticated outerwear option in their fall 2014 New York Fashion Week shows, showing rich colors, unexpected textures and so many different ways to wear the look. Whether you want to wear a cape in place of a heavy coat or as a stylish substitute for a blazer on an evening out, there's a fall cape you'll love. Start your wishlist now. read more
You wouldn't know it to look at her (because holy wow is this girl gorgeous), but Victoria's Secret model Jasmine Tookes is a minimalist.

Fall means bulky sweaters, heavy scarves and oversize coats, so it's hard for jewelry to stand out among them. Perhaps it was that thought designers had in mind when they designed their fall 2014 collections, because this season's jewelry is bigger, bolder and more eye-catching. Raw-cut jewelry made from agates, druzy crystals and geodes is popping up everywhere. Here are eight ways to wear this new jewelry trend. read more
Fashion trends have long been a sign of the economic climate. So when fur purses appeared en masse at the runways of New York Fashion Week, they seemed to signal fortuitous economic times to come. Although those designer fur purses are pricey and luxurious, they've also inspired hundreds more affordable options, as well as a few DIY versions and faux fur handbags. Here, eight faux fur and fur purses on our lust lists. read more

Jessica Alba has mommy role down pat on screen, in real life
BY CINDY PEARLMAN August 15, 2011 6:42PM
Updated: November 16, 2011 1:29AM
This year's she's No. 21 on Maxim's Hot 100 Babe List — but Jessica Alba hasn't felt like that girl for a few weeks.
On Monday the actress announced that she gave birth to Haven Garner Warren, her second daughter with husband Cash Warren. Haven joins big sister Honor, 3.
Earlier this month, while Alba was ginormously pregnant, she was nothing if not positive while sitting in the back of a limo driving through Los Angeles and talking about tantrums and nursery decorating.
Her advice to other women in their third trimester: Pamper, pamper, pamper.
"I think pregnant moms should spend as much time possible pampering themselves," the 30-year-old opined. "Get that mani. Get the pedi.
"Insist that your husband does the date night and then book an appointment to get a facial," she said with a laugh. "When you're done, get a massage."
While running around (well, walking around) to hype up her new "Spy Kids" movie, she already knew major mothering duty was ahead. "It's so important for moms to give themselves a break, because once the baby comes, I've learned that first year is super hectic. You literally have no time for yourself."
Alba is all about the kiddies in "Spy Kids: All the Time in the World 4D," opening Friday. "I'm so excited to have this movie come out and to have my own daughter see it," she said. "Finally, there is something where I can say, 'That's Mommy up there.' "
In the new film, Alba is a kick-butt mom. "She's a spy," she said. "The rub is that her family doesn't know she's a spy until she has to go on a secret mission. The funny thing is that her husband thinks she's an interior decorator.
"But this mom has to go back to work because the person she captured years ago is out again and wreaking havoc," Alba previewed. "So it's a mom out in the field with a baby, because she doesn't have a sitter.
"We also threw something in there for the parents, because if you've ever been in a work situation with kids, you know that at the worst times the kids will have their biggest meltdowns," she said. "It doesn't matter if you bring 1,000 toys to amuse them. They're kids. They're bored. What are you going to do?"
Ask her about rumors that she will film a sequel to 2005's "Sin City" and she just sighs.
"I don't have any news on that front," she said. "You have to talk to [directors] Robert Rodriguez or Frank Miller about it. All I know is I'm decorating a nursery and going into mommy mode the minute I get home. I might even take a little nap, but that's a maybe."

I was thinking about using an induction cooktop in my kitchen remodel, but wanted to try induction cooking before investing. I bought this unit as a test and after my kitchen is complete, I figure I can use it as an extra burner or outside for a cookout on the patio. I was very pleased, both with induction and with this unit. Please take the time to get used to induction so you use the technology to it's best advantage. I liked it so much I bought a high end European built-in induction cooktop. It was an excellent way to test and I love my induction stove.

About Sarah Loft
I see art as not only creation, but also (and maybe primarily) as discovery. For the most part I do collage work and photography, but also enjoy pen and marker drawing, some occasional painting as well as more three dimensional work such as making baskets, dolls, and other objects.As you will see if you wander through my galleries, I have a very wide range of interests.

Ostracized throughout her lonely childhood for her dark skin, Helga spends her adult life seeking acceptance. Everywhere she goes — the American South, Harlem, even Denmark--she feels oppressed. Socially, economically, and psychologically, Helga struggles against the "quicksand" of classism, racism, and sexism.One of the most acclaimed and influential writers of the Harlem Renaissance, Nella Larsen published her powerful first novel in 1928. Quicksand features intriguing autobiographical parallels with Larsen's own life, in addition to reflecting many aspects of African-American culture of the 1920s. Alice Walker praised it and Passing (Larsen's second novel, also available in a Dover edition) as "novels I will never forget. They open up a whole world of experience and struggle that seemed to me, when I first read them years ago, absolutely absorbing, fascinating, and indispensable."

Coscreenwriter Jonathan Hales (The Scorpion King) seems to have had a good influence on Lucas's dialogue. There's still the odd bit of patently obvious exposition ("That's Anakin's signal. It's coming from Tatooine. What in the blazes is he doing there?" Obi-Wan says to his non-English-speaking droid) and silliness (pod racer Sebulba, or a look-alike, shows up briefly to say "Jedi poo-doo!"), but some of it is actually witty, like Obi-Wan's reference to the Jedi Temple as the old folks' home. C-3PO's comedy bits, as in all the movies, can be a bit overbearing, but at least he's a familiar nitwit and unlikely to actually offend anyone but prissy Britons.
There is one significant misfire in the script, however, and it undoubtedly has to do with Lucas's allowing his kids to come up with character names, as they did for Episode I. Dexter Jettster, Kit Fisto, Poggle the Lesser, and Elan Sleazebaggano can duke it out for dumbest name that remains safely unspoken in full, but the grand champion has to be the name of the film's major adversary: Count Dooku. Yes, it's pronounced exactly as you'd imagine, and yes, it makes any line of dialogue sound stupid -- even McGregor can't make "I'll never join you, Doo-koo!" sound properly defiant. Though it helps that Dooku is played by the dignified Christopher Lee in a standout performance and gets a name-change at the last minute, it's hard to be too afraid of a man whose moniker sounds like something Jar Jar stepped in.
Lee isn't used anywhere near enough -- he's sort of this movie's Colonel Kurtz, a renegade frequently talked about and eventually found in a dark corner of space with the tribes that are now under his command. Once he does appear, he owns the screen, taunting during light-saber battles in the manner we wished Darth Maul would have done. And when another master hits the battle -- call it Crouching Yoda, Hidden Saber -- you'll laugh or cheer or most likely both. Some of the CGI still looks bad: Yoda's ears, for example, properly bounce like the old puppet's, but his digital facial expressions are often unconvincing. The film itself follows suit -- sometimes it bounces along; other times, it feels forced. Kids and hardcore fans will love it regardless, and those who don't will still be talking about it for the next three years.

The Cambridge Companion to August Strindberg
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreAugust Strindberg is one of the most enduring of nineteenth-century dramatists, and is also an internationally recognised novelist, autobiographer, and painter. This Companion presents contributions by leading international scholars on different aspects of Strindberg's highly colourful life and work. The essays focus primarily on his most celebrated plays; these include the Naturalist Dramas, The Father and Miss Julie; the experimental dramas with which he created a true modernist theatre – To Damascus and A Dream Play; and the Chamber Plays of 1908 which, like so much of his work, exerted a powerful influence on much later twentieth-century drama. His plays are contextualised for what they contribute both to the history of drama and developments in theatre practice, and other essays clarify the enormous importance to these dramas of his other work, most notably the autobiographical novel Inferno, and his lifelong interest in science, the occult, sexual politics, and the visual arts. less

Popularized in films like Limitless, legal smart drugs called Nootropics are becoming more and more prevalent in board rooms and on Wall Street.Keep reading »
I appear to be in the minority here, and it may have to do with my not really having any money in the market (or elsewhere!), but for a long time I've found the news out of Europe very soothing. In part this is because I am a congenital optimist and so a sucker for can-kicking, but it is also in part because I realized that I didn't need to pay any attention to it. There's an evergreen quality to the euronews where you can ignore it for two months and come back and pick up right where you left off:
Euro finance chiefs left unanswered how they'll fill a fresh hole in Greece's balance sheet without tapping their own bailout-weary taxpayers for money after giving the country two extra years to trim its budget deficit. …
Prospects of a funding deal at a hastily scheduled Nov. 20 meeting were clouded by objections from the International Monetary Fund, which took issue with the ministers' decision to postpone the goal of getting Greece's debt down to a "sustainable" level of 120 percent of gross domestic product by two years to 2022.
The highlights here – can-kicking, important questions left unanswered, disagreements between people at the same press conference1 – are perennials, and you'll miss them if anything ever actually changes. I know I will.
This is my favorite though:
For now, [German FinMin Wolfgang] Schaeuble said the terms of the Greek package can be rejiggered by cutting the rates on bailout loans or giving Greece extra time to pay them back, without requiring creditors to put up more loans or write off parts of Greece's official debt.
"Our assumption is that the program is working so that in the end, it's a matter of guarantees and not benefits for Greece," Schaeuble said.
Write-offs are a legal and political taboo for German Chancellor Angela Merkel, running for re-election in late 2013 with the argument that her anti-crisis prescriptions are working and unwilling to call on the German parliament to authorize more money.
Greece's loan rates have been cut and maturities extended twice before. Schaeuble characterized the resulting cost to creditors as a reduction in profit. He said other, as yet undisclosed, steps can be taken to make the Greek fiscal math add up.
The interest rate margin on the euro zone bonds is 1.5%; Greece just issued one-month treasury bills with a yield of 3.95%, and those bills were sold to Greek banks who (1) kind of have to buy them and (2) don't actually have to pay for them.2
So "reduction in profit" is a characterization all right, but you would not be crazy to seek other characterizations. I, for example, tend to think that extending a 5-year 5% bond into a 30-year 1% bond is basically the same as writing it down by 60-80% so y'know why not write it down by 60-80%? It's just arithmetic. I mean, it's not the arithmetic here – we're talking smaller extensions and smaller rate cuts. A Goldman research report does the math and it is sobering; they can't get to sustainability without a big reduction in actual debt amounts and they note re: rate reduction:
The interest rate margin for the bilateral loans handed out to Greece and worth EUR53bn was reduced to 150bp. A further reduction of the margin by 100bp would lead to annual savings in the interest rate bill worth about EUR0.5bn. The interest rates for EFSF loans are already close to EFSF funding costs and thus the scope for further reductions here are minimal. A reduction of interest rates on bilateral loans would involve a transfer of present value of debt from EMU states to Greece. It would also burden creditors such as Italy and Spain as they would lend to Greece at rates well below their own funding costs.
Still the engineer in me is intrigued by this notion that a highly value-destructive extension and interest rate roll-down of Greek debt is just a "reduction in profit." You can see the same sort thinking in the U.S., of course, where the way-below-market bailout of AIG was highly profitable if you assume that all interest payments are profit, and not if you don't. Financial arithmetic and government-sector arithmetic are very different.
Which means – by definition! – that one can arbitrage them. What if there were a way to reduce the nominal amount of Greek debt for Greece while keeping its nominal amount the same for its official creditors? Imagine this is a napkin on which I have sketched:
- Cancel eurozone nations' loans to Greece and replace them with bonds issued by GreeDO LLC, which is a newly formed box that I have imagined.
- The GreeDO loans have the same nominal amount as the current loans to Greece, but have a [2] year longer maturity and a [100]bps lower coupon.
- GreeDO purchases new Greek loans with the same maturity and coupon as the loans that are being cancelled,3 but with a lower principal amount.
- GreeDO uses the (higher) cash flows it receives on the new Greek loans to pay the (lower) cash flows on its bonds, and keeps the leftovers (and reinvests proceeds at the early maturity) to pay the higher repayment obligation at maturity
- Everybody wins: Germany et al. just have a "reduction in profit" with no principal write-off; Greece has a principal write-off.
I know I know this is just idle speculation and wouldn't work for reasons legal and financial and arithmetic.4 It would be crazy to propose that Greece enter into an economically nonsensical derivative transaction with its official creditors just to optically reduce the principal amount of its debt outstanding. For one thing: it would only do that with Goldman. For another: isn't that kind of how it got here?
Europe Gives Greece 2 More Years to Reach Deficit Targets [Bloomberg]
EU, IMF clash over Greece revives debt crisis fears [Reuters]
In a rare breach, Mr Juncker told a post-meeting press conference the target would be moved to 2022, prompting Ms Lagarde to insist the IMF was sticking to the original timeline. When Mr Juncker again insisted it would be moved – "I'm not joking," he said – Ms Lagarde appeared exasperated, rolling her eyes and shaking her head.
You and everyone else, Lagarde! I quibble with "rare breach" though; given enough time, you can get some Troikacrat to contradict everything said by any other Troikacrat. I guess it's somewhat rare for it to be in the same press conference? Somewhat?
2. I see ISIN GR0006001847, first settle date 11/16/2012, maturity 12/14/2012, issue price of 99.694, YAS says 3.95%. Thereabouts.
3. Or shorter maturity and higher coupon, and an even lower principal amount! Really it's just a napkin you can do whatever you want; optimize for whatever you want to optimize for.
4. For one thing, I sort of eyeball 2 years of maturity and 100bps of coupon paying for a ~10% principal reduction? That's not going to make much of a dent.

Meh, stopped caring… I'll be old and this will never be resolved.
Mr. Juncker continued, addressing the Greek Parliament: "But that doesn't relieve you of your responsibility for this material. Now I'm waiting for reports from some of you… Listen, I'm not joking. This is my job!"

Northern Technologies International Corporation Announces The Formation Of Natur-Tec India Private Limited
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northern Technologies International Corporation (Nasdaq:NTIC) announced that it has formed Natur-Tec India Private Limited, a majority (90%) owned subsidiary based in Chennai, India, to capitalize on the increasing market demand for Natur-Tec® bioplastic products in India and the surrounding South Asian region.
With the rapid growth of the Indian economy over the past decade, and the emergence of a burgeoning consumer-oriented middle class, plastics consumption in India has grown exponentially. According to a report from GlobalData, India is currently the world's third largest consumer of plastics, behind China and the United States. However, the increased plastics consumption combined with inadequate waste disposal infrastructure, has created a plastic pollution problem in India. Local governments in various regions within India have stepped in with legislation and regulations curbing the use of single-use plastic bags and plastic packaging for fast-moving consumer goods. This is turn, has created a substantial opportunity for certified compostable and biobased alternatives to conventional plastics. NTIC was one of the first companies to promote bioplastics in India in 2006, when it started marketing its Natur-Tec line of fully compostable and biobased packaging solutions through its Indian joint-venture Harita-NTI Pvt. Ltd.
G. Patrick Lynch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Northern Technologies International Corporation, said, "NTIC has built strong credibility in the Indian market over the past few years. Our Natur-Tec bioplastic packaging solutions have been readily adopted by major consumer brands, including a large global marquee garment brand. This newly formed subsidiary will allow us to build upon this initial momentum and better serve our customers in the growing market for bioplastics within India and the surrounding countries of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan."The General Manager of the new NTIC subsidiary will be Dr. Sunder Balakrishnan, a graduate of the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Mumbai, India. He also earned a doctorate in Chemical Engineering at Michigan State University, under the guidance of Prof. Ramani Narayan, a world-renowned expert on bioplastics. Dr. Balakrishnan has co-authored several patents and international publications in the area of bioplastics and is currently a representative on bio-polymers at International Standards Organization and Bureau of Indian Standards, and an expert consultant to UNIDO, International Centre for Advancements in Manufacturing Technology in the area of Biobased and Biodegradable Polymers.

Globacom Selects PT's Powerful SEGway™ Signalling Solution To Enable Network Expansion In Nigeria
ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- PT (NASDAQ: PTIX), the leading global supplier of advanced network communications solutions formerly known as Performance Technologies, today announced it has been awarded a multimillion dollar order to provide the signalling core solution for Globacom, one of Africa's fastest growing mobile telecommunications companies. The transaction also includes Mobile Number Portability (MNP) and Short Message Service Defense (SMS-D) feature functionalities. PT's next generation SEGway Signalling System is already deployed in the carrier's network in Ghana and Benin Republic, and is central to the design for network expansion in Nigeria, where Globacom serves over 25 million subscribers. SEGway's unique scalability of ports and throughput capacity makes it well suited to expand with the high growth Nigerian network; conversely, it performs equally well as an efficient core network platform for deployment into smaller Globacom markets in the future.
PT is providing the SEGway Signalling platform as the basis for both geographic and network expansion while enabling Globacom's transition to an all-SIGTRAN network. PT's Signalling Solution is built on an IP-native fabric providing the capability to support future network interfaces, and the power to host multiple core network features such as Mobile Number Portability, SMS-Defense and upcoming LTE applications. The SEGway platform's inherent efficiencies result in significant savings in operations and maintenance costs and it ensures a smooth network growth path.
"PT has demonstrated an unprecedented level of commitment as a vendor in this region," said Mike Jituboh, Senior Executive at Globacom. "Their expertise in all aspects of Next-Gen IP-based signalling, and their proven ability to deliver and support it, has made PT our preferred signalling vendor as we continue to expand our network coverage across Africa."
Globacom's Group COO, Mohamed Jameel, remarked, "The availability of such a sophisticated core signalling platform gives Globacom the latitude to configure a best-of-breed network topology within an attractive economic model, and to accurately address each of our divergent coverage areas. PT's rich suite of features on SEGway allows Globacom to efficiently manage our growing network while rolling out new applications as the need arises. Globacom is now well positioned to employ features such as Advanced Core Network Routing, SMS Defense, Mobile Number Portability and, in the future, core network LTE capabilities. We are confident in PT's demonstrated reliability; with SEGway in our network, we are able to consolidate operations, yet continue to develop a rich feature-set.""Through their use of our SEGway Solutions Platform, PT empowers carriers to aggressively market their services, becoming nimble and competitive in this rapidly shifting industry," said Patt Rice, Senior VP, Marketing, Sales and Service of PT. "The nations of Africa are experiencing unprecedented growth in telecommunications services, with data applications driving most of the usage. PT is a perfect fit for the region and its carriers, and we will continue to deliver robust systems and a clear-cut road map to guide their strategic growth by simplifying the addition of capacity, features, and applications."

Difficulty is an option in Minecraft. It is toggled via options menu. It sets how quickly the Food Bar depletes, how many Mobs spawn etc.
No mobs will spawn, and the food bar will not drain at all. It is literally impossible to eat in this difficulty, the only way to eat is to eat golden apples. Or, if you changed the difficulty to peaceful when you were hungry, then you can eat. But there are problems playing on peaceful, because you can't get hostile mob drops and experience from those mobs. You can't possibly accomplish the game without changing the difficulty harder. (The wither skulls required to build the wither.)
Few mobs will spawn, and the food bar will drain fairly slowly. Mobs only deal a little damage, very rarely hostile mobs will spawn with armor. Cave spiders can't poison you, and Withers can't wither you on this difficulty. Creepers cancel their explosion by only moving a short distance away from it. If the hunger bar is empty, it'll leave the player with . Zombies have no chance of turning villagers into zombies.
The Mobs will spawn normally, the Food Bar depletion is average as well. Mobs deal a normal amount of damage. The cave spider mob can poison you in this difficulty, and the Wither can wither you. If your hunger bar drops to 0, it'll leave you with . If a villager is killed by a zombie, it has 50% chance of turning into a zombie villager.
A high number of mobs will spawn, and the Food Bar will drain quickly. Creeper explosions are really fatal, one explosion and you're dead, unless you wore armor. If the hunger bar drains completely, it'll slowly kill you. Creepers will not cancel it's attack unless the player moves far away. Zombies can break down wooden doors and spiders may spawn with one positive status effect. (swiftness, strength, regeneration, invisibility, and these effects are permanent) Skeletons, Zombies have a higher chance of spawning with armor and tools. These mobs will also have a higher chance of picking up anything. On this difficulty, if villagers are killed by zombies, they have 100% chance of turning into a zombie villager.
Main article: Hardcore
A very high number of Mobs will spawn, the Food Bar will drain very quickly, it's similar to hard, but however, if you die, you can't respawn. And if you made your gamemode "Hardcore" at the start, you can't change it to easier difficulties.
- Hardcore is not actually a difficulty, but a Game mode. When you play Hardcore, your difficulty gets locked on "Hardcore", it cannot be accessed otherwise.

The Soil, Silent Ally Against Hunger in Latin America

GDP and the Unaccounted for 82 Percent of National Wealth
Virtually all countries use Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as their primary measurement of economic progress and overall societal progress. At the same time, countries express allegiance to the doctrine of sustainable development. This exposes an obvious disconnect.
